(AllHipHop Rumors) The Game has a new song called “Hug The Block” and it is a scorcher. Let me tell you…The Game is one of the true greats when it comes to this rap sh#t, but he sometimes can go too far. I know some of you are like, “DUH, AND?” But on “Hug The Block,” The Game devotes a whole song to criticizing, dissing and chiding his own brother, Big Fase 100! Big Fase is the older brother (44, according to the song) and he really catches a lyrical fade on the song. The Game really airs out the dirty laundry on this one – no dryer sheets whatsoever. Check out the song. And let’s discuss the reaction from Big Fase.
We are in an era where people talk through social media and not on the phone. These guys are related by blood. However, they have had a strained relationship from day one and it seems like these emotions have festered quite a bit. Now, I don’t know if The Game is acting or if he’s really feeling this way. But, if you notice, his voice cracks and it almost sounds like he may be crying. I am not sure, but that’s how it sounds to me. What do you think? I hope The Game and Big Fase get it together.
(AllHipHop News) Rap star Fat Joe is demanding a lawsuit over his hit single “All The Way Up” be thrown out of court – since no one can find a signed copy of the original contract.
Miami rapper Fly Havana maintains he helped create the original version of the hit single “All The Way Up,” which features Remy Ma and French Montana.
Fly Havana says he helped Infrared create the original track, which made its way to Fat Joe and the rest is history – without him.
Fly Havana, born Eric Elliott, says he met with Fat Joe at an IHOP in an effort to settle the dispute, but unfortunately, the meeting would make the case more complex.
Prior to their meeting, Fat Joe hired a lawyer named Erica Moreira to prepare a one-page agreement in order to resolve Fly Havana’s allegations.
During the 30-minute sit-down, Fat Joe handed over a $5,000 check and presented the document for Fly Havana to sign – which he did – without getting his copy of the agreement.
In September, a judge ordered both parties to file whatever versions of the document they had in their possession.
But Fly Havana admitted he did not have a copy of what he signed, and he testified he “does not know how to read legal documents,” but he thought the contract said he would be compensated and credited as a writer.
Fat Joe’s lawyer says Fly Havana doesn’t deserve a penny, because he signed a very common agreement stating his contribution to the song was a “work for hire.”
And here is where things get complicated.
Fat Joe’s lawyer can only produce the “draft” agreement she sent to the rap star, but no one can find the original document Fly Havana signed.
Fat Joe says he searched everywhere for a copy of the original executed agreement and so did his lawyer and his old manager, with no luck.
“The fact that the signed agreement cannot be found does not change the fact that Elliott did sign an agreement…Elliott has no information to controvert the conclusion that the Draft Agreement, with the exception of the signature, is the Document,” Fat Joe’s lawyer Eleanor M. Lackman argued.
“Defendants also have provided an explanation that shows that the absence of the signed Agreement was not procured by any bad faith on the part of Defendants,” Fat Joe’s lawyer added. “Under such circumstances, the question is purely evidentiary, and the best evidence rule resolves it.”
Fat Joe’s lawyer is asking a judge to enforce the draft agreement and dismiss Fly Havana’s lawsuit in full and with prejudice.
On December 6th, Fat Joe is releasing a new album called Family Ties featuring Eminem, Cardi B., Lil Wayne, Mary J. Blige and others.
(AllHipHop News) Tyga has been hospitalized in Abu Dhabi, just days after telling the audience at a gig in Mumbai, India, that he was feeling a “little under the weather.”
The 30-year-old rapper updated fans about his health with several posts on his Instagram Stories, which showed him wearing a blue face mask and green hospital gown as he sat on the bed with an array of medicines and IVs behind him.
“Thank you to the doctors in Abu Dhabi for treating me w the best care,” he wrote alongside one of the images, adding three praying hand emojis.
Tyga has yet to reveal the reasons for his hospitalization.
He performed at the Diriyah Music Festival in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh on Saturday (November 30th), which came just 24 hours after he took to the stage in Mumbai – at which point he told the crowd he wasn’t feeling too well.
“This is my first time in Mumbai, and I just love it here. I am a bit under the weather, but I thought to myself that this is my first gig in Mumbai and I cannot cancel it for my fans’ sake. And you know what? It’s totally worth coming all the way from Los Angeles and performing for you all.” he said, according to reports.
Tyga’s next scheduled performance is at the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany, tonight (December 2nd). It remains to be seen whether or not he will go ahead with the gig.
(AllHipHop News) One of the most dangerous members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods is heading to jail for 20 years.
Aaron “Bat” Young was one of 11 defendants rounded up and hit with RICO charges by the Feds for drug dealing and committing violent crimes with other Nine Trey gang members, including Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Today (December 2nd), Aaron Young was sentenced, after pleading guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy.

Remy denied the charges all along, and even stated she was comfortably sitting home at the time of the alleged assault.
A judge agreed with the rap star, and today (December 2nd), all of the charges were dismissed against Remy.
Remy’s lawyer Dawn Florio completely trashed Brittany in the wake the ruling and hinted at a forthcoming lawsuit.
“Remy has always maintained her complete innocence as she never laid a hand on her celebrity-obsessed, clout chasing, credibility challenged accuser. Unfortunately, these manufactured allegations caused my client to suffer the indignities of having to wear an ankle monitor while having her freedom limited by travel restrictions and an 8:00 PM curfew,” Florio, told TMZ.
(AllHipHop News) R&B star Chris Brown has revealed the name of his newborn son in a post on Instagram.
The “Forever” hitmaker, 30, took to the social networking site to reveal the name of the newborn baby boy he welcomed with ex-girlfriend Ammika Harris, 26, by sharing a photo of himself.
In the caption, he posted the nickname of his five-year-old daughter Royalty, followed by the name of his new child, penning: “RORO & AEKO (ECHO).”
While Brown was reluctant to confirm he was expecting his second child, he appeared to indicate the newborn had arrived by sharing a close-up black-and-white photo of himself gazing down at something adoringly.
He simply captioned the Instagram image, “11-20-2019” – leading followers to believe he was referring to the birth date of his new bundle of joy.
Later, he seemingly hinted at the news in a second post, in which he was photographed from the side with a hoodie pulled up over his head to display the word “BORN” embroidered.
(AllHipHop News) R&B star Kelly Rowland and rapper Big Sean have given fans a post-Thanksgiving Day treat by hosting free screenings of new drama “Queen & Slim.”
The movie was written by Lena Waithe and shot by Beyonce’s “Formation” music video director Melina Matsoukas, and their celebrity friends have been rallying support for the project on social media to celebrate its U.S. release this week.
On Friday, Beyonce’s best pal and Destiny’s Child bandmate Rowland joined forces with her husband, Tim Weatherspoon, to buy out two showings of the project in her native Houston, Texas.
As she invited members of the public to attend the screenings, Rowland explained she wanted to put on the events “Because it’s a GREAT film, and because it’s made by two incredibly talented WOMEN!”
Big Sean also got behind the movie and offered up free tickets for a screening in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan.
“This movie so (fire)! N for BLACK Friday we supporting This amazing film Queen n Slim. Free movie on me! If u in Detroit FRIDAY enjoy…! Congrats to @lenawaithe and keep up the incredible work! @queenandslim”.
“Queen & Slim” stars Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith as a young couple on the run after killing a white police officer in self-defense during a traffic stop.
(AllHipHop News) Olajide “KSIOlajidebt” Olatunji has already defeated fellow YouTuber Logan Paul in a professional boxing match. Could KSI be facing off against WWE’s “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt or AEW’s “Le Champion” Chris Jericho in a pro wrestling ring in the near future?
“I like doing that type of stuff. Of course, I’m always open to doing WWE, AEW, or whatever organization there is. I’ve been a fan for years,” expresses the London-born entertainer also known as JJ in a recent interview with AllHipHop. “Man, that’s my childhood.”
JJ continued, “I used to watch Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Sting, Mick Foley/Mankind, The Undertaker, all these guys, Triple H. I’m a fan, so it would be a dream come true to fight in the WWE. It’d be a bit too mad for me. I think at that point I’d probably need to check into a hospital just to check that I’m sane.”
Besides winning a split decision against Paul and amassing over 6 billion views on his two YouTube channels, KSI has also found chart success in the United Kingdom as a rapper. The 26-year-old Sidemen collective member is now ready to break into the U.S. music market.
“Obviously, in England, I’m already a big name, but when it comes to America, I’m still like a small fish in a big pond. Or a big fish in a big pond, shall I say. [laughs] I feel like it makes sense for me to collab with more American artists. So yeah, I definitely want to start charting more in America,” KSI tells AllHipHop.
JJ gave a taste of what he can do when collaborating with bona fide American rap stars with the release of his single “Down Like That” featuring Miami’s Rick Ross and Atlanta’s Lil Baby. He let loose an official visual for the S-X-produced song on November 22.
“I feel like the music video will bring a huge amount of attention. No other YouTuber is attracting international artists besides Jake Paul and Gucci Mane,” says KSI. “For me, and for everyone who watched that, it kind of put YouTube in a bad light because Jake Paul is not respected as an artist. Everyone was like, ‘Nah, Gucci. Don’t do that.'”
The creator of the Keep Up and Disstracktions EPs added, “Hopefully, now I can pave the way so that YouTubers can make good music, and chart, and be international, and make waves in the music scene.”
(AllHipHop News) On November 21, Mathew Knowles, Ph.D., posted on Instagram, “It’s almost here! Destiny’s Child: The Untold Story book and album will be available everywhere December 2!” It appears Beyoncé’s father kept his word.
There is currently a 15-track album titled Destiny’s Child: The Untold Story Presents Girls Tymelistedon streaming services. The R&B/Hip Hop group then known as Girls Tyme would eventually evolve into the platinum-selling Destiny’s Child.
Beyoncé Knowles, LaTavia Roberson, Kelly Rowland, Támar Davis, Nikki Taylor, and Nina Taylor were the original members of Girls Tyme. The Houston-based ensemble reached a national audience when they performed on the popular television competition series Star Search. That TV moment was immortalized in Beyoncé’s “Flawless” music video.
Destiny’s Child would later rotate several members before finally settling on the trio of Beyoncé, Kelly, and Michelle Williams. Mathew Knowles served as the manager for both Girls Tyme and Destiny’s Child.
“I still officially manage [Destiny’s Child]. Every day I have the responsibility of licensing. I have a lot of responsibilities that folks don’t know,” explained Mathew on the Tamron Hall talk show in October. He was also involved in his daughter’s solo career until Beyoncé parted ways with him after the release of I Am … Sasha Fierce.
In addition to The Untold Story Presents Girls Tyme album,Mathew Knowles released a book titled Destiny’s Child: The Untold Story. The Music World Entertainment founder has also written other works such as The Emancipation of Slaves Through Music, Racism From The Eyes of a Child, and Public Relations and Media PR Strategies for the Digital Age.
(AllHipHop News) Desus Nice and The Kid Mero went from Twitter comedians to YouTube personalities to TV stars. The Bronx, New York loyalists are now adding “author” to their biographies.
“Don’t avoid these bookings beloved! The brand’s first book: ‘God-Level Knowledge Darts: Life Lessons from the Bronx’ drops April 14 2020! tweeted Desus.
Don’t avoid these bookings beloved! The brand’s first book: “God-Level Knowledge Darts: Life Lessons from the Bronx” drops April 14 2020!
The Bodega Boys podcast hosts are quoted saying about God-Level Knowledge Darts: Life Lessons from the Bronx:
We want to share all we’ve learned, after years in the Bronx streets, with you: the people. So with a lifetime spent building up a plethora of information from trials and tribulations and a handful of misdemeanors, we decided to write this book–a sequel to the Bible, or maybe to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, depending on how big a nerd you are. Let this book be your North Star.
The original Desus & Mero ran four nights a week on Viceland for two seasons from 2016 to 2018. In February, the late-night program moved to Showtime where the half-hour talk show airs two nights a week.
(AllHipHop News) It has not even been a year since Ermias “Nipsey Hussle” Asghedom was murdered outside his Marathon Clothing store in Los Angeles on March 31. Most representatives of Hip Hop culture have chosen to honor the deceased emcee, but two LA residents chose a different approach when discussing Nip’s legacy.
Blueface caught significant backlash when his label head, Wack 100, went on the No Jumper podcast and suggested Nipsey was not a legend. Some people took issue with Blueface because he did not defend the Victory Lap creator. He further fueled more negative reactions when he tweeted, “Nyggas die everyday B ♂️.”
TMZ recently caught up with Wack 100 to get an additional comment about his opinion of Nipsey. The Cash Money West executive doubled down on what he said on No Jumper.
“[Nipsey] wasn’t [a legend]. What’s a legend? Define a legend,” said Wack 100. “If Dr. Dre, right now, died, we would say we lost a legend, right? Based on what? Numbers, right? Body of work, right? How many albums did Nipsey drop? One album, right?”
Wack continued, “This not no personal sh*t I’m talking. This just real sh*t. The man died with a million followers, no radio hits, no platinum hits, right? No world tours, right? After he died, he went platinum, sold a bunch of records, his followers went up nine, 10 million, right? First of all, we got to define what the f*ck a legend is, what the f*ck a legend ain’t.”
He went on to say that Nipsey Hussle was on his way to becoming a legend but the Grammy-nominated rapper had not reached legendary status at the time of his death. Wack added, “The truth could never be defined as disrespect. If it is, that means you lying to your motherf*cking self.”
(AllHipHop News) Fans of Aaliyah Dana Haughton have complained for years that all of the late singer’s music is not on sites such as Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and Amazon Music. That could be changing next month, according to reports.
A tweet from The Pop Hub claims Aaliyah’s uncle and head of Blackground Records, Barry Hankerson, is teasing that Baby Girl’s full discography will become streamable on January 16th, 2020. The alleged message from Hankerson read, “We listened, this is not a drill in honor of the great legacy of #Aaliyah.”
That quoted Twitter user is not verified and the page is set to private. The verified Twitter account for the Detroit-bred songstress/actress has not addressed the news, so there is no official confirmation about the One In A Million and Aaliyah LPs.
At the moment, Aaliyah’s debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number, is the only full-length project that is available on streaming platforms. Listeners can also currently play soundtrack singles such as “I Don’t Wanna” and feature appearances such as “You Won’t See Me Tonight” by Nas.
(AllHipHop News) Trippie Redd has joined 21 Savage, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Juice WRLD, Tyler, the Creator, DaBaby, Kanye West, and other Hip Hop acts as Billboard 200 chart-toppers for this year. A Love Letter To You 4 is the new #1 album in the country.
With 104,000 album units, A Love Letter To You 4 gives Trippie his fourth Top 10er on the Billboard 200. This is the first time the Ohio native landed in the #1 spot in the rankings.
In addition, Trippie’s project collected 125.9 million on-demand audio streams. It is the thirteenth 2019 release to pull in more than 125 million streams in a week. 88,000 equivalent album units came from those streaming numbers.
A Love Letter To You 4 features Juice Wrld, YNW Melly, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Smokepurpp, Tory Lanez, DaBaby, Lil Yachty, and more. Pi’erre Bourne, Murda Beatz, Wheezy, and Nick Mira were among the producers for the collection.
The financial terms of the deal or not disclosed, but it was confirmed that all four members of Three 6 Mafia would be listed as writers on “No Bystanders.”
“Tear Da Club Up” was written by Juicy J., Gangsta Boo, Lord Infamous, Crunchy Black, Koopsta Knicca and DJ Paul, who brought the lawsuit against Travis Scott.
According to legal documents obtained by AllHipHop.com, DJ Paul’s attorney Edwin F. McPherson is asking for a little more time to finalize the deal.
The rapper wants a few more weeks to track down two songwriters who deserve their writing credits.
“Both sides are completely in agreement on the terms of the settlement. However, there are many co-writers on the song/track that is the subject of this action, and it is necessary to get a letter of direction from each such co-writer in order to direct certain entities to pay Plaintiff and his writing partner directly,” DJ Paul’s attorney Edwin F. McPherson said.
“Although we have received signed letters of direction from five co-writers, I recently learned that we are awaiting signatures on two final letters of direction, and have been assured by representatives of those co-writers that the signed documents are forthcoming,” McPherson explained.
Over the course of time, DJ Paul’s thoughtful decision could equate to millions of dollars for each writer, since “No Bystanders” is one of the standout tracks on his hit album Astroworld.
DJ Paul’s lawyer is asking the judge to give him another 30 days to get the needed signatures to make sure each writer gets their fair share before the settlement is finalized.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Just when you thought it was safe, Lil Wayne is in the rumors for all the wrong reasons! But, the Young Money mogul dodged a big bullet over there in Saudi Arabia. The initial reports stated that he had gotten arrested over there for smoking weed. Fortunately, he did not get arrested, but he almost did! He was in “town” for the Diriyah Music Festival with the homies Tyga and Future. The only thing is, drugs are strictly prohibited. Here’s thing thing, why book some druggy style rappers that actively promote drug use and then get all cray cray when they live it? LOL!
Lil Wayne tweeted a distress signal Sunday morning boldly proclaiming, “Never going to Riyadh again !!!” Well, Wayne love weed more than money, because he really needed his “medicine.” It nearly got him locked up. He made it out of there and then popped off. Somebody popped back at him though.
Im sure they have informed you, drugs are not allowed here. But you though we are in desert, who will know !!
Looks like Wayne almost was the next ASAP Rocky, but this time Donald Trump wasn’t going to put a good word in for the lil homie! One dude got my gangster than that! Basically told Wayne to rap, dance and S###! Wow…this is a very “Here’s what they think of you tweet.”
Cats going all the way over there…meanwhile drugs are being “decriminalized” over here! Sheesh! But they come here for their higher education…then go back. What’s going on? LOL!
(AllHipHop News) An infamous blogger at war with Cardi B could be hauled into court again for talking reckless.
This time, one of R. Kelly’s alleged sex slaves’ parents are telling Tasha K. to cut the crap in regards to her recent allegations aimed at Timothy and Jonjelyn Savage.
The Savages claim R. Kelly has been holding their daughter Joycelyn hostage as a “sex slave” for years. They took their story public in the critically-acclaimed documentary “Surviving R. Kelly.”
Blogger Tasha K. has been weighing in on the controversy surrounding the R. Kelly case, but the Savages say she took it too far when making a variety of serious allegations against them on a variety of her platforms.
Tasha K. maintains the Savages are behind a Patreon account that was publishing stories in the name of their daughter Joycelyn.
Tasha K. also posted audio of a conversation she claimed took place between a rep for R. Kelly and Timothy Savage, which supposedly proves he “gave” his daughter away to the imprisoned R&B singer.
“They depict our clients as engaging in fraudulent activity that violates civil and criminal law,” said The Savages’ attorney Gerald Griggs.
The Savages are furious and they are demanding Tasha K. take down all of the posts which they have labeled defamatory in addition to paying the legal costs they have incurred to defend themselves.
Rap star Cardi B. is also engaged in a $1 million legal spat with Tasha K. for making fake news about her.
According to reports, the gunman riddled Reese’s vehicle with at least a dozen shots. One of the bullets struck Lil Reese in the neck, seriously injuring the rapper.
Meanwhile, the police say they are closing in on the suspect who pulled off the brazen shooting and they have recovered the vehicle used to hunt down Lil Reese.
According to Country Club Hills Public Safety Director William Brown, an arrest warrant for the suspect in the shooting could be announced this week.
(AllHipHop News) Anything involving Mac Miller is a sensitive subject.
Most recently, GoldLink faces some backlash for his statements on social media regarding the late Pittsburgh rapper.
Even Anderson .Paak stepped in with some words of his own.
During a recent concert where GoldLink was performing in Hamburg, Germany, he addressed the recent controversy that exploded online after he insinuated Mac had used one of his records as a “blueprint” for Mac’s Divine Feminine album.
The 10-track project serves as Miller’s fourth studio album and was released on September 16, 2016,
GoldLink knows his long-lost friend helped put him on the map when it comes to the rap scene, and defended statements that he was not in any way shape or form trashing Miller on social media.
But Mac’s other good friend Anderson .Paak didn’t take it that way.
Goldlink spoke to his fans at the show: “Mac Miller is my best friend in the industry, that’s one of my best f##king friends to this day.”
The Washington, D.C. rapper proceeded to give Mac props along with industrial elites Pusha T and Wale for helping him make it in the music business.
GoldLink then addressed his Mac Miller post, stating it was “about love and that ni##as can actually be brothers. It wasn’t about stealing, I never used the word copy. I never used the word steal.”
The truth is he never used those words. In fact, he said Mac would “adopt styles as homage” to artists he loved and listen to. GoldLink also spoke on Divine Feminine, stating “that’s where our problem started.”
Anderson .Paak let the choppa sing on this post cause i aint NEVER seen him like this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Goldlink shouldve left his s### in the drafts. pic.twitter.com/kRoOCsL9o3

(AllHipHop Rumors) Future may have to change his name to Past if he decides to mess with Steve Harvey! And it looks like that is exactly what Future is looking to do as he continues to sniff around Lori Harvey! Remember, I last reported that Future tried to crazy Thanksgiving, but Steve Harvey said “No plate for you!” I assume Future decided to rebel in his own way by finding the loophole. He’s hooked up with Lori anyway! After the family had a great Thanksgiving, they headed out to Abu Dhabi and soon found that Future flew out there on his own dime to be with Lori! This has been forbidden by Baba Harvey! This is happening folks…I am here with my popcorn….
It does not appear that Future messed up their time, because Lori is grown.
Chico DeBarge is really living the dark legacy of his family. The R&B singer made his bones in the 90’s as one of the most prominent singers and he did well. The only thing is he also had the drug stigma attached to him as well and now it ain’g going nowhere. Chico has been busted for meth. The brother was reportedly busted in a Walmart parking lot trying to breaking in an SUV using a wire, according to po-po. The coppers ran up on ol’ Chico and say that found methamphetamine after a search. After more searching, they found more drug paraphernalia in the SUV, which was his own SUV. He managed to lock himself out of his own vehicle. Formal charges are pending. Next time, call AAA!
