Swae Lee Donates Gifts To Kids In South Central Los Angeles [PHOTOS]

(AllHipHop News) Swae Lee stopped by The Crete Academy in South Central Los Angeles on Wednesday. The Rae Sremmurd rapper/singer was in California to donate gifts to underserved children in need.

The “Sunflower” hitmaker adds, “Without these kids supporting me, streaming my music, watching my videos and coming to my shows I wouldn’t even have a career. I see myself in the youth. We all we got and if we don’t take care of each other, who will?”

Kids at The Crete Academy nonprofit charter school were given Chargers and Rams t-shirts. Plus, students who made the greatest strides in reading achievement this year were gifted brand new Xbox consoles.

(AllHipHop News) The #1 song in the country this week is a holiday single that was originally released in 1994. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is a seasonal hit that climbed to the peak of the Hot 100 chart for the first time in 2019.

In celebration of that accomplishment, Carey released a brand new music video for her popular carol. The 5-time Grammy winner also took part in a 30-minute Q&A on YouTube before the debut of the “AIWFCY” visuals.

(AllHipHop News) Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter recently celebrated his 50th birthday. While Jay has now spent half a century on the planet, his age does not prevent him from staying aware of what’s happening with the younger generation of Hip Hop.

The Roc Nation boss released his “Year End Picks 2019” playlist which featured songs by some of the hottest acts in music. Veterans like Drake, Kanye West, and J. Cole made the final list.

Meek Mill Calls Out Record Labels For Offering “Slave Deals”

(AllHipHop News) Back in July, Meek Mill announced that he was partnering with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation in a joint venture to launch the Dream Chasers record label. Last night, Meek expressed some of his views about how other labels are signing young talent.

“What about major companies taking kids from the ghetto and got them signing they lives away for a lil bit of money?” tweeted Meek to his 8.7 million followers.

The Philadephia emcee continued, “We taking control of that 2020 and exposing the people offering these slave deals! Ima get some lawyers to break down some of these deals y’all offering these kids.”

Besides running Dream Chasers, Meek is personally signed to Atlantic Records. He also came up in the industry under Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group imprint along with Wale and Gunplay.

(AllHipHop News) NBA YoungBoy struck a plea deal in an assault and kidnapping case he caught in Georgia.

Earlier this week, the rap star plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of simple battery family violence over an incident in February of 2018.

The rapper was charged with two felonies for kidnapping and aggravated assault.

During court earlier this week, prosecutors dropped the most serious charges of kidnapping and assault against NBA Youngboy, who will serve 12 months of probation for the beating up his ex.

Nick Cannon Strikes Back At Eminem AGAIN! But Does He Have EVEN MORE?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Nick Cannon ain’t playing fair! The mogul seems to have a double life. Just last night he was on TV proclaiming the winner of hit hit show “The Masked Singer” and today he’s got a new diss for Eminem. But on this one he pulls from the Book of Benzino! If you remember, Zino used to own The Source magazine and the publication got embroiled in a beef with the Detroit rapper. They did so much, including finding recordings of Eminem spewing racist rhymes towards Black people and Black women. The name of the original song is “Foolish Pride.” 

Blacks and whites sometimes mix
But black girls only want your money ’cause they’re dumb chicks
So I’ma say like this
Don’t date a black girl, take it as a diss
If you want, but if you don’t
I’ma tell you like this, I surely won’t
Never date a black girl because blacks only want your money
And that sh*t ain’t funny

Here is the whole song, if you care to hear it. 

Back to Nick and Em. These dudes need to fix this mess! Eminem is dope, but admittedly in the past has don’t stupid stuff. He kinda apologized back in 2003 after the source hit us with this. 

“The tape … was something I made out of anger, stupidity and frustration when I was a teenager. I’d just broken up with my girlfriend, who was African American, and I reacted like the angry, stupid kid I was. I hope people will take it for the foolishness that it was, not for what somebody is trying to make it into today.” – Eminem 

Nick’s new song as a bouncy diddy that uses Em’s past racist comments….as a noose for his adversary. Listen to Nick Cannon’s diss right here:

In 88, Em did this off the top of the dome: 

Do you think Nick Cannon may go for a 4th diss using this? 

One of Nick Cannon’s former dudes (call Nick “my brother”) and a friend of Eminem gives what he says the real reason Nick and Em are beefing. 

When Will Tekashi 69 Get Home From Jail?

(AllHipHop Rumors) For some reason, people don’t realize exactly how much time 6ix9ine got. Then well-known snitch told on a lot of people and was a great asset to the cops in their RICO case against the Trey Nine Bloods. He was such a good friend to the cops that people thought he was going to come home by THIS Christmas when it was all said and done, it was not meant to be. 

The judge sentenced him to 2 years in the BING. And nobody celebrated, but a lot of people saw the headlines like he’s going to be gone for two MORE summers. That is not the case. He has already served over a year so he will be back in action by Christmas 2020. A lot of people are pissy that he didn’t get more time, especially since he – on camera – did stuff like put hits on people. 

Anyway, do you think somebody will try to do something to Tekashi while he is in jail? I have friends that know jail and prison and they seem to feel like he won’t make it through the year. Ice T even made the inference too. 

What do you think?

Next year we are going to see the return of both Bobby Shmurda and Tekashi 65. It will be a very entertaining ass year. 

Did A$AP Rocky Leak His Own Sextape?

On Wednesday night, Asap Rocky’s “alleged” sextape was “leaked” online. And on Thursday morning, the internet had much to say about it.

The blogs are having fun with this one and the comment sections are lit lit. Many are comparing the tattoos from the guy on the video to Asap’s saying they are the same. I mean, it’s quite a coincidence that the tattoos are kind of the same in the same spot on his body. But, who knows?

As much as people are focusing on the tattoos and his performance, many are calling out Asap saying he leaked this tape himself.

Why would he leak it is the question?

Rocky has been open in the past about having a sex addiction and has admitted to photographing and recording his sexual escapades. 

One can assume ASAP is the one who recorded his sexual session in his leaked tape because of the position of the camera or phone. 

He could have lost his phone or someone on his team got ahold of it and leaked it themselves. There are countless possibilities. 

What do y’all think? Do you think he leaked it himself?

Nick Cannon Samples Old Racist Eminem Verse In New Diss Track

(AllHipHop News) Nick Cannon continues to target rap superstar Eminem by releasing his third diss track.

Earlier today (December 19th), Nick dropped another new song called “Cancelled.”

Nick took some liberty and interpolated Ice Cube’s incredible diss “No Vaseline” diss to N.W.A. for the intro of his song.

Nick then launches into “Cancelled,” a bouncy record which features a sample of an old unreleased song featuring Em calling black women dumb b##ches.

The snippet of Em in Nick’s song was surfaced by Benzino and the Source back in 2003 when he was feuding with the magazine as well.

The full verse was from an old demo Em recorded in the 1990’s with the lyrics: “Blacks and whites they sometimes mix, but black girls only want your money ’cause they’re dumb chicks/Don’t date a black girl if you do it once you won’t do it twice/Black girls are dumb and white girls are good chicks.

Eminem apologized for the songs he made when he was a teenager and said a bad breakup with his African-American girlfriend was the reason he made the racist song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2DAYHxf1o

With the exception of his tweet, Eminem has refused to reply to any of Nick’s songs, leading to the “Wild N Out” host to declare himself the winner of the “rap battle.”

Eminem’s fans are currently having some fun at Nick’s declarations of victory.

A Jay-Z Music Video Helped Recruit Adam Sandler For His Role In ‘Uncut Gems’

(AllHipHop News) It’s officially the movie award season. As Hollywood prepares for the 92nd Academy Awards nominations being announced on January 13, actors and actresses are picking up nods at the Critics’ Choice Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and the SAG Awards.

Adam Sandler earned a Best Actor nomination at the 2020 Critics’ Choice Awards, and he is one of the predicted contenders to compete for Best Actor at the Oscars. Some critics are calling Sandler’s portrayal of Jewish-American jeweler Howard Ratner in A24’s Uncut Gems the best performance of his career.

According to co-director Josh Safdie, a Jay-Z music video played a role in securing Sandler’s participation in the crime thriller. Josh and his brother Benny Safdie were behind the camera for Jay’s “Marcy Me” visual. 

The clip from the 4:44 album era helped recruit Sandler for Uncut Gems. “He really emotionally responded to it,” said Josh about the Saturday Night Live alum’s reaction to Hov’s homage to his hometown. “It only helped in that courtship.” 

Oscar-nominated cinematographer Darius Khondj also teamed with the Safdies on Uncut Gem and “Marcy Me.” Josh explained how making Jay-Z’s vid, which was partly presented from the POV of an NYPD helicopter, was not an easy experience.

“Those were the hardest, most chaotic shooting conditions I’ve ever been a part of,” admitted Josh. “I’m very proud of that video.” Besides Uncut Gems, the Safdie brothers also directed Daddy Longlegs, Lenny Cooke, Heaven Knows What, and Good Time.

Charlamagne Tha God Addresses 6ix9ine & Donald Trump Being Held Accountable

(AllHipHop News) The internet was ready to roast Charlamagne Tha God after the radio talking head sarcastically promised to perform f####### on Tekashi 6ix9ine if the rapper beat his racketeering/firearm case. Thankfully for CTG, 6ix9ine was sentenced to 24 months for his part in the criminal offenses conducted by the Nine Trey Bloods.

Charlamagne was not done offering his opinions about Tekashi’s legal situation. The Brilliant Idiots podcaster also had some thoughts on Donald Trump after the businessman-turned-politician became the third U.S. president to be impeached on the same day 6ix9ine was finding out his fate in court.

“The word of the day is ACCOUNTABILITY. Nobody is above the law and nobody can escape accountability. We are all accountable for ourselves, our success and failure [are] a result of what WE do and if you don’t make yourself accountable you will be made accountable by your circumstances. Happy Kwanzaa!!!!!!” posted Charlamagne on Instagram.

CTG’s accountability message was the caption for an IG image of Trump’s face photoshopped onto Tekashi’s body. Donald Trump and Tekashi 6ix9ine have more than one thing in common. The current Commander in Chief and the Dummy Boy creator made countless headlines for their tendency to troll their rivals online, and they both have also been accused of sex-related crimes.

Angie Martinez Provides Update Following Injury From Car Accident

(AllHipHop News) Last month, Angie Martinez revealed she was involved in a severe car accident. The Power 105.1 radio personality returned to social media on Wednesday to update her followers on her recovery.

“There are no words to thank u guys enough for the amount of love & prayers I have received over the past couple of months but my heart is full & my spirit is strong AF and I can’t [wait] to get back on air January 7th!” tweeted Martinez.

She also called into her Power 105.1 co-workers at The Breakfast Club to talk about handling the painful ordeal. Apparently, Martinez got advice from comedian Kevin Hart who is also recuperating from a serious car crash

Prior to the accident, the woman also known as “The Voice of New York” debuted her WE tv series Untold Stories Of Hip Hop. Rap stars such as Cardi B, A$AP Rocky, and Snoop Dogg sat down with Angie to talk about their careers.

6ix9ine’s Victim Discusses Him Not Being Able To Come Home For Christmas

(AllHipHop News) Daniel “Tekashi 6ix9ine” Hernandez was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to racketeering and firearms charges and testifying against his Nine Trey Gang affiliates. The “Gummo” rapper is expected to be released before the end of 2020.

While many of Tekashi’s fans were hoping he would walk free on Wednesday, at least one person is happy the convicted felon will be behind bars for this holiday season. Skyy Daniels, a victim of a 6ix9ine-connected attack, wrote an impact statement to the judge. She is now speaking out publicly about the case.

“The best thing about the two-year sentence – I did not want him to be able to come home for Christmas to his family,” said Daniels in an interview. “Because you know where I was last year for Christmas with my family? I was in the hospital. I was away from my children. I was away from my grandchildren. I was away from my parents. I was in hiding in a hospital, suffering from a mental breakdown.”

Daniels was one of the mistaken individuals held at gunpoint in New York City by Nine Trey Bloods as Tekashi reportedly recorded the incident from a vehicle. The publicist went on to say she believes justice was served because Hernandez was not with his family this year. In addition, it appears she is considering legal action against 6ix9ine.

“He owes me everything that he has. He owes all of us. He needs to be totally financially bankrupt and burdened like he’s done so many other people,” declared Skyy. “He absolutely needs to pay our medical bills, her pain and suffering, her mental anguish, her emotional anguish. This has been very stressful and traumatic to all of us.”

Frankie Zing- “WOKE” Video

(AllHipHop Music) Brooklyn-born and Staten Island-bred lyricist Frankie Zing has been making waves creatively and shows no signs of slowing down. Citing Nas, Eminem, and DMX as early influences, Frankie’s work reflects the fundamentals of hip-hop & lyricism and the powers that be have taken notice. 

Within one year, the MC went from unknown artist to writer for Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex. He later landed a song on the soundtrack of ‘What Happened Last Night?’ which stars Amber Rose

The track, “Who I Am,” went on to be a serious contender for the nomination of Best Original Song at the 89th Academy Awards. 

Already an established MC, Frankie has also flexed his acting chops, landing several acting roles on programs such as ‘Shadow of Doubt,’ ‘MTV’s Ladylike,’ and ‘The Daily Show’ with ‘Trevor Noah.’

 After moving from the east coast to California, Frankie doubled down on his musical pursuits and has released the visual for his latest single, “WOKE.” Produced by U-Dub of NY Bangers (“OOUUU” by Young M.A), the track finds Frankie Zing showcasing his lyricism in raw form.

Check out the video for “WOKE” below.

The Internet Reacts To A$AP Rocky’s Alleged Sex Tape Leaking

(AllHipHop News) Less than 10 hours after the news broke, President Donald Trump being impeached is no longer the #1 trending topic on Twitter. Instead, many Twitter users are more interested in a supposed celebrity sex tape.

A$AP Rocky’s name is leading the “U.S. Trends” section as commenters discuss a presumed video of the Harlem rapper having intercourse with an unknown woman. There is no official confirmation that Rocky is actually the person in the clip.

Both men and women are now sharing their thoughts on the performance of the guy in the video, assuming it is Rocky. Other people pointed out that December 18 was a very memorable day for pop culture since Trump’s impeachment, 6ix9ine’s sentencing in his federal racketeering case, and Camila Cabello apologizing for past racist posts also happened on Wednesday.

As of press time, Rocky has not commented on the alleged sex tape. The 31-year-old A$AP Mob member made international headlines earlier this year after being arrested in Sweden for assault. Trump publicly advocated for his release.

UPDATE:

A$AP Rocky has responded to reports of his alleged sex tape leaking. Instead of specifically confirming or denying if he was the man in the video, Rocky focused on the online chatter about his sexual performance.

He tweeted on Thursday afternoon:

MY PENIS AND I WOKE UP 2 THE ALARMING DISTURBANCE OF A VIDEO CLIP 2DAY. AS HIS DEFENSE ATTORNEY WE’RE PREPARED 2 DENY ANY SLOW STROKES OR LACK OF KILLIN THE P*SSY. A LONG LIST OF SATISFIED WOMEN CAN ATTEST TOO. BUT THE REAL PUNCHLINE IS SEEING PPL WHO NEVER F*CKED HIM RATE HIM

Lizzo & Tomi Lahren Clash Over Donald Trump Being Impeached

(AllHipHop News) Yesterday, the House of Representatives impeached Donald Trump, making the Republican politician just the third president to face trial in the Senate. Americans on both sides of the aisle reacted to the historic news on social media.

For example, Lizzo quote tweeted her September 24 tweet that read, “IM MENT.” The “Truth Hurts” singer added, “This aged well…” Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren then responded to Lizzo’s tweet by posting, “Well @realDonaldTrump is still your president. Truth hurts.

Lizzo fired back, “The only thing that hurts is this country is divided by hatred fueled from people like you.. why don’t u do better and give ya boy some advice on telling the truth, he’s gonna need it.”

Lahren got the final word in the exchange. She later tweeted, “Hatred? This whole witch hunt was fueled by hatred from the Left, from those who can’t stand the fact the country is soaring under this president. You don’t have to like or support @realDonaldTrump but win by voting in 2020, not attempting to nullify the 2016 election.”

The Democratic-led House of Representatives approved articles of impeachment on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress against Trump. The impeachment of the POTUS was the result of Trump attempting to coerce members of the Ukrainian government for information on his political opponent as a way to help his 2020 re-election bid.

What Next Now That Trump Has Been Impeached?

(AllHipHop Rumors) The president of the United States of America aka 45 has been impeached by the House. Now, let me just get this out of the way, I don’t know jack about politics! But I am enthralled about this! When Clinton was impeached, I was too young to understand. I am now too old to understand! LOL! But I am interested in it more than I was back in the day. The Dems voted 230 and the Repubs voted 197 in the House. 

This whole thing now goes to the Senate, which is controlled by the Republicans. It is almost certain that homie prez will not be getting removed from office, but the stain of being impeached is not something that goes away. The Senate will be the ones that will decide if the dude will actually get removed from the office. That is not likely. Nixon was the only one c that came supremely close to this, but he resigned before it could happen to him. Trump blew it off at a rally saying something like, “It does not feel like we are being impeached” with his followers cheering. This just means the country is still divided along party, class, racial lines and intelligence lines. Some of “us” are dumb as hell! I am not omitting myself by the way, but I also know when not to say anything. 

Right now there is a trial on the way, which will decide if he will be removed from office. Expect a lot of talk about “fair trial” going forward. Trump is already talking about the media and things of that nature. There were nationwide marches and rallies all over the week…well…he we go. Hold on!

R. Kelly Beamed Into Court To Plead Not Guilty To Getting Aaliyah A Fake I.D.

(AllHipHop News) R. Kelly appeared in court today (December 18th) via a video conference, to plead not guilty to a bribery charge.

The rap star wanted to submit his plea in writing, but Federal prosecutors objected to the idea over concerns the R&B star might not understand the charge due to his alleged inability to read.

On December 5th, R. Kelly was hit with the bribery charge in a superseding 12-count indictment, claiming he was involved in a conspiracy to bribe a Cook County, Illinois official.

The Feds claim R. Kelly was involved in the forgery of documents in 1994 to get a fake I.D. for the late R&B singer Aaliyah, so he could marry her even though she was 15-years-old at the time.

The singer is accused of using his ultra-successful career to lure young women into a “sex cult,” aided by his managers, bodyguards and personal assistants.

In addition to charges in New York, R. Kelly is facing trials in Illinois and Minnesota.

EXCLUSIVE: A Breakdown Of Everyone Tekashi69 Helped Send To Prison

(AllHipHop News) Tekash69’s cooperation led to plea deals or convictions against all 12 defendants charged in a sweeping RICO case against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

The rap star was sent to prison for two years today (December 18th) after collaborating with the Feds for over a year, by providing invaluable information to prosecutors to help bring down the gang’s current top leadership.

Tekash69 may be safe in prison for the next few years, but he is going to have to watch his back for the rest of his life since he reportedly refused to join the Witness Protection Program.
