50 Cent Delivers A Strong Warning To Talk Show Host Wendy Williams

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent has called out longtime foe Wendy Williams for crashing his recent party, telling the TV host “don’t come where I’m at.”

The rapper hosted a bash dubbed the Tycoon Pool Party at BarCode in New Jersey on Sunday with a star-studded guest list including Snoop Dogg, who performed.

Wendy also managed to sneak in, despite 50 allegedly putting her on the “blacklist” for the bash and sharing a video of her trying to get into the party and telling her to “wait outside” and posted several pictures with Snoop and her 19-year-old son, who is a big fan of the rapper/actor.

But asked about Wendy’s attendance at the event during a chat with Access Hollywood, 50 insisted it was entirely without his approval.

“I don’t know what she was even doing there,” he said. “I’m not going to Wendy Williams’ parties. Why is she at my party, huh? Why is she there? She knew I was at that party, why is she going to that party?”

And referencing Wendy posing for snaps with Snoop, 50 added: “Snoop is only in New York because of me. Why is she going to see Snoop?”

Then 50 addressed Wendy directly, turning to the camera and telling her: “Go see him another time when I’m not there. Don’t come where I’m at. I don’t like you. I don’t like you… Said things about me, and now I don’t like you ’cause you did it for years.”
Wendy and 50 have long had issues with one another, exchanging barbs on social media and in interviews.

 
And as for the rapper’s now-infamous pointed clap backs, he said: “It’s from social networking. People respond real fast, you gotta respond fast on your feet and just say something back.”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Reality star Hazel E is best known for her roles in multiple seasons of the reality show “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.”

Over the years, Hazel E has tried her hand at rapping, and she recently accused City Girls of stealing their song “Act Up” from her, which almost resulted in a fight with Yung Miami.

Hazel has also been in relationships with celebs like Yung Berg and Katt Williams.
Now, Hazel E is a cast member of the new season of “Marriage Boot Camp,” where she is getting counseling for her relationship with model Devon B.

According to reports, the reality show was shut down when a brawl erupted between Hazel E and another star, Shanda Denyce.
Shanda Denyce had beef with Hazel E over comments she made about dark-skinned women in 2017.

Cardi B Loses Attempt To Keep Mixtape Extortion Lawsuit Testimony Private

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Cardi B has lost her bid to keep the private testimony she gave in a $5 million mixtape battle confidential.

According to court documents, a federal judge has ordered the transcript of her deposition to be filed unredacted.

Cardi is fighting allegations she used one of Kevin Michael Brophy, Jr.’s photos of her on a mixtape cover for “Gangsta B##ch Music Vol. 1.” without permission.

The judge was asked to file certain documents under seal, including Cardi’s deposition transcript, over fears it could be considered “sensational and gossip-worthy” and potentially embarrassing to Cardi B if made public, but the lawmaker has dismissed the request.

“There are neither compelling reasons nor good cause to file these documents under seal,” he ruled. “A generalized concern about ‘gossip’ or possible embarrassment fails to outweigh the presumption in favor of access.”

Cardi B maintains she is being extorted and is refusing to pay Brophy anything if she has her way. 

The Bronx rapper claims the man on the cover of her mixtape is dark-skinned, while Kevin Brophy is clearly a white male.

J Prince Defends Jay-Zs NFL Deal With Message To Haters

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Roc Nation boss Jay Z may have just received the co-sign he needed to execute his high-level plans with the NFL.

Last week, Jay Z unveiled a sweeping partnership with the NFL under the league’s “Inspire Change” initiative.

The rap star has been accused of “selling out” Colin Kaepernick, who was blackballed from the NFL over his “Take A Knee” protests.

Everyone from Cardi B and Rihanna to NFL players Eric Reid and Kenny Stills has weighed in on the issue with opposing views.

Now the Rap-A-Lot founder has issued his opinion.

“Jay-Z is not a sellout. I’ve known this brother for years and being a sellout is something I’ve never witnessed in all the years I’ve known him,” J Prince said.

J Prince also said he had an immense amount of respect for Colin Kaepernick’s position as well, but he made it clear who he was riding with. He even agreed with Jay’s opinion that kneeling was good, but measurable action is needed to make a real change from within the NFL.

“We all know as babies and as adults, we had to crawl before we walk. So to paraphrase Jay-Z, the kneeling was good, now it’s time to walk and eventually we shall run.”

Colin Kaepernick’s Lawyer Mark Geragos Says Jay-Z NFL Deal Is “Cold Blooded”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has been receiving intense criticism since he announced a broad new partnership with the NFL 

Colin Kaepernick’s lawyer had some strong words for billionaire rap mogul Jay Z, who is being criticized for his new partnership to help remake the NFL’s image. 

“This deal between Jay-Z and the NFL crosses the intellectual picket line…I can confirm to you that the deal was already done prior to any conversation that [Kaepernick] had with Jay-Z and he certainly didn’t have any conversations with the NFL,” Kaepernick’s celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos said.

This is in stark contrast to what Jay Z said during the press conference announcing his involvement on August 14, where he claimed to have had a private conversation with Colin Kaepernick about the matter. 

Colin Kaepernick has maintained the owners of all of the teams in the league conspired to blackball him for kneeling during the national anthem before games when he played for the San Francisco 49’ers. 

The take a knee protest has turned into a PR nightmare for the NFL, who recently decided to hire Jay Z to spearhead their “Inspire Change” initiative.

Kaepernick’s activism sparked an intense dialog about athletes and their First Amendment right to protest inequalities in America. 

Colin Kaepernick eventually settled for less than $10 million, but he still cannot find work in the league. 

“I think we’re past kneeling- I think we’re on to actionable items. I’m not minimizing that part of it. We all know what’s going on now what are we gonna do?” Jay Z said during a press conference. 

Like Geragos, a variety of people have weighed in on Jay’s involvement with the NFL, where the rap mogul will also oversee the Super Bowl 2019 halftime show. 

Artists like Cardi B., Freddie Gibbs, Killer Mike have supported Jay Z, while Funkmaster Flex, Jermaine Dupri and players Eric Reid and Kenny Stills have pondered whether the Roc-A-Fella founder is trying to “Inspire Change” or line his pockets with billions as the next owner of an NFL team. 

50 Cent Loves Reverend Al Sharpton’s Funky Dance Moves

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent is known for going in on people with his social media, and this time he is aiming Reverend Al Sharpton. 

Thankfully, 50 took same light jabs at Reverend Al, who is going viral after a clip of him busting out some dance moves in Harlem hit the Internet. 

The “Politics Nation” host was a guest during “Harlem Day” on Sunday. 

When Stevie Wonder’s#### song “Sign, Sealed, Delivered” started to play, the holy ghost possessed the Reverend Al, who started dancing with a woman clad in a “Do Not Disturb” shirt.

The 64-year-old broke out some fancy dance moves when he was surrounded by a variety of women in the crowd, who playfully danced along with the legendary Civil Rights activist.

50 Cent hosted his Tycoon Weekend the same day Rev. Al was getting down Uptown. He praised the Reverend’s dance moves as “Tycoon s##t.” 

This isn’t the first time Reverend Al has dropped some fancy footwork for the cameras. He was caught grooving at the Essence Festival in 2018. 

Rev. Al Sharpton even does a great imitation of James Brown, which he showcased during a tribute to his late friend at The Apollo in 2004.

XXXTentacion Preps Fans For New Music By Dropping Song With Rico Nasty

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) XXXTentacion may have been murdered before he saw the peak of his success, but his family is doing their part to ensure the rapper’s legacy lives on. 

XXXTentacion’s estate just dropped the new “ProudCatOwner” mix featuring standout rapper Rico Nasty. 

The song is taken from the deluxe boxset for XXXTentacion’s album ?, which hit #1 on Billboard’s Top 200. 

Unfortunately, he was shot and killed three months after he released ? which went platinum, had over 5.2 billion global streams and clocked sales of 3.2 million global equivalent albums. 

“Music saved me as an individual because I was literally haunted by myself. As a person, I was lost. It gave me a purpose. Within that purpose, I became able to display my pain for others,” XXXTentacion said in 2017. “Initially, it just felt good. After a while, I wanted to be like a therapist for these kids. Anyone that was even slightly depressed could feel it. I was doing this for them as much as I was for myself. I gave them something to feed on. I gained attention from networking, marketing myself, and being an idiot on the internet, but the cult following is purely because of the songs.”

The rapper, born Jahseh Onfroy, was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, during a botched robbery outside of a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

The latest version of ? will feature all the original songs, as well as the instrumentals, remixes, and a batch of new material.

“Empire” Star Jussie Smollett Will Never Pay The Chicago Police Department

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Jussie Smollett has broken his silence over allegations he paid two brothers named Abel and Ola Osundairo to attack him in what the cops say was a staged hate crime. 

The city of Chicago wants $130,000, the cost of investigating the “Empire” actor for what they ultimately found to be a bogus claim. 

“I’m moving on. When the truth is on your side, you know everything will be fine,” a defiant Jussie Smollett said.

Back in January, Jussie Smollett said he supposedly attacked by two MAGA hat-wearing white guys, who wore masks, beat him, tied a noose around his neck and dosed him with bleach while yelling racial and homophobic slurs

The cops eventually charged Jussie with 16 counts of disorderly conduct after an investigation revealed he supposedly paid off the Osundairo brothers to beat him up, so he could get a pay raise on “Empire.”

In May, the office for Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx inexplicably dropped charges against Jussie Smollett. 

The actor had to forfeit a $10,000 bond, and ordered to complete 16 hours of community service with Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Push coalition.

The decision sparked outrage from Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and Eddie Johnson, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department.

But Jussie has no plans on settling with the city of Chicago and he recently filed court documents in Chicago, claiming the city is unfairly attempting to prosecute him.

“You don’t settle when you’re telling the truth,” Jussie Smollett said in the latest update involving the ongoing saga.

Leeds Festival Scrambles As Lil Uzi Vert Bails At The Last Minute

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Lil Uzi Vert has disappointed his fans once again. 

According to organizers of The Leeds festival, revealed the “Luv Is Rage” rapper has backed out of his headlining slot at the 2019 Leeds Festival at Bramham Park in the U.K. 

A Facebook post from the festival’s official account earlier today read: “Due to unforeseen circumstances Lil Uzi Vert is no longer able to perform at Leeds 2019.”

“Because of the short notice, Enter Shikari will now take this slot on the Main Stage. Yungblud will play later and SWMRS will move from the Festival Republic Stage to the Main Stage,” organizers said in a statement.

Uzi Vert’s track record of canceling shows is becoming legendary. 

This year, Lil Uzi canceled appearances at the Soundset Festival, Rolling Loud Australia, and his entire run of dates in Europe. 

While no reason was given, everything seemed to be ok with Uzi Vert over the weekend, when he popped up at Rick Ross’ record release party in Philadelphia. 

Russell Simmons Bid To Get Rape Lawsuit Dismissed Fails

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Russell Simmons has failed in his bid to end a lawsuit from a woman alleging he raped her.

The anonymous plaintiff sued the rap producer for $10 million in March 2018, claiming she met him while at a rap concert with her son and that Russell Simmons raped her in his hotel room later that night and also threatened her son.

The Def Jam founder claims the lawsuit is an extortion attempt and wanted the case kicked out of court, citing an email the woman’s lawyers sent stating the alleged incident happened in 1988, putting it outside of California’s two-year statute of limitations.

According to reports, Los Angeles Superior Court judge Marc Gross denied Simmons’ motion for summary judgment, as the email isn’t admissible as evidence because it was sent as part of settlement negotiations.

The hip-hop mogul’s lawyers responded by pointing out that the woman claims the assault happened in a now-closed Clarion Hotel, which could be alternative proof that it was outside the statute of limitations. 

However, Gross ruled that news articles supporting this claim were hearsay.

In a sworn declaration filed in May, Simmons denied ever having non-consensual sex. A new statement from his team stated that despite the latest ruling, he would be exonerated.

“The allegation claimed a date of 1988, asking for $10 million,” his representatives said. “After realizing that the extortionate claim would fail because 1988 is outside the statute of limitations, the plaintiff’s lawyer now refuses to provide the date of the alleged incident on a technicality. We fully expect the courts to see through this abuse of the legal system.”

Tayf3rd Explains His Complicated Relationship With YG

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Features

By: Shirley Ju (@shirju)

Tayf3rd was once close with “Toot It and Boot It” rapper YG and now the “Low Inside” rapper is the first artist to sign to Big Boy Music, the label run by Big Boy, one of the most well-respect hip-hop radio personalities in Los Angeles.

Currently residing back home in Cambodia Town, Tayf3rd puts on for the struggle, the streets and social media, as he finds music to be his outlet.

While Snoop Doggy Dogg was his idol growing up, Tay now sees him as his competitor. He knows Snoop Dogg is the best to ever do it, and he plans on accomplishing even greater heights than Tha Doggfather. 

AllHipHop: For those who don’t know, who is Tayf3rd?

Tayf3rd: Tayf3rd is a real thoroughbred Long Beach dude, somebody who’s really from the Eastside. Somebody who was raised off Snoop Dogg, The Eastsidaz, raised off of Big Boy on the radio. Raised by my mom, a single parent. Tayf3rd is a dude who came from Cambodia town in the Eastside of Long Beach and made his presence with his happiness. He just made music when he got out the club.

AllHipHop: I hear you singing. How would you describe your sound?

Tayf3rd: I feel like I make music for gangbangers who go home and listen to The Weeknd. They go home and listen to s##t they’d never listen to in front of their friends.

AllHipHop: How did you get there?

Tayf3rd: If I can explain it, it’ll be a formula. But I don’t know how I got there. All I can say is the tribulations of life, that’s the only thing inspiring me. I’m not inspired by rappers.

AllHipHop: Really?

Tayf3rd: Nah, because they telling their story. Sometimes we hear that they’re not even telling their story, they’re telling somebody else’s story. I’ve never been inspired by the rapper. I’ve been inspired by the music though, the music’s different from rapping.

AllHipHop: What was the inspiration behind your name?

Tayf3rd: My name’s Tay. My last name is Kim my first name is Tay.

AllHipHop: Which one of your parents is Asian?

Tayf3rd: My dad, my dad’s full Korean. The F stands for Filthy’s, a gang from Long Beach. It was like a click, but they made it something bigger than it was supposed to be. But we was having fun. Then 3 is really where I’m from, the gangbanger s##t. I’m from the same Crip, that’s why Saviii 3rd… that 3 really stands for something. Not even on no gangbanging stuff though, 3 really stands for a family. We infiltrating the music industry now. We infiltrating ya’ll now, we coming for sure. [smiles]

AllHipHop: You got a close relationship with Saviii?

Tayf3rd: That’s my brother. I’ve been knowing Saviii since he was 12, maybe 11. That’s my love, I’d do anything for him.

AllHipHop: He’s with Cash Money West?

Tayf3rd: Not no more. He with AFG, All For Guap. That’s Filthy Guap Gang. You come to Long Beach, you gonna see people with F hats and Chief hats. We took over the city.

AllHipHop: Are you still on the streets?

Tayf3rd: Yeah… I’m still struggling. I wouldn’t say struggling money-wise, but I’m still struggling to get my people right. If my people struggling, what am I? I’m still on Raymond, you see me over there for sure. I’m on Raymond and Anaheim 1100th for sure. You see me over there probably with Stupid Young ass. I really live in Cambodia Town, that’s where I live right now literally. I welcome everybody to come over there, we have fun over there.

AllHipHop: You ain’t doing the Triller s##t?

Tayf3rd: I can’t! I can’t jerk, my bones will break. Come on. We made the jerking s##t something based off a rap and skateboarding. We kind of looked up to the Hyphy movement. For real, me and YG did — because me and YG met in a trailer park. YG’s my brother, me and YG we started this whole fast music s##t. Literally, me and YG started this s##t. If you ask him, he’ll be like “oh yeah fasho.” Actually, they got a couple interviews on it.

AllHipHop: He shout you out?

Tayf3rd: He said “oh no, we don’t have no problems.” Because when they asked him about if we have beef, he said no — because we don’t. We just went our separate ways, we wanted to do different things. Everybody thought that we had beef because we were so close. It’s like you see two close people and they break apart.

AllHipHop: What happened?

Tayf3rd: Alright so I was from Pushes. When Pushes was first made, I made “I Smoke, I Drink.” That’s what started the whole jerking s##t. YG was doing his s##t with the “Motto” joint, but he had went to jail for flocking. We was all doing that, but it was wack he got caught. When he went to jail, I had ran into Felli Fel. He was the first person to break my record.

AllHipHop: I work with Felli!

Tayf3rd: I love him. When I met him, Big Boy was still at Power 106. Felli’s like “man, I want to break that record.” He took it and mastered it himself! Felli mastered the whole record himself. Literally the record was from a garage. You know what our microphone was surrounded by? A cereal box.

AllHipHop: What?!

Tayf3rd: Lucky Charms, I’ll never forget it. And there was a hole in it! I recorded the song, the s##t went viral. Felli remastered it and put me on. Literally Felli put me on, I never said that. When he put me on, the people were like “yo YG supposed to go first.” But what am I supposed to do? Wait for him? He’s in jail. I’m trying to hold it down for us. Who’s gonna hold it down for us while he’s in jail? I’m trying to do it for us. On my song, I say “free YG.” That’s the last lyrics on my song. I can’t end this without saying “free YG.” And then they attacked me. Everybody that was from his squad, Ace, Rod, they attacked me. I’m like damn.

AllHipHop: They attacked you physically?

Tayf3rd: I mean, yeah they tried to. But I ain’t gonna lie, I’m a killer. These birds in my face [points to tats]… they was scared to see me in my face. They was definitely trying to do some s##t to me. But I’m a peaceful dude, I don’t want to fight ya’ll. Even when I defend myself, I’m still not trying to fight ya’ll. Just chill, I’ma show you what it is. What I did was I left. When they start babbling, I just shut up.

That’s why everybody said I fell off of music, because I stopped talking. I stopped talking because I’m not into all that internet beef, I’m not tryna do all that. I never was raised off that. I was raised off having fun, being cool. If you got a problem, you see each other when you see each other. You don’t make a day, you don’t say “I’ma fight this n##ga.” When you see each other, you do what you do.

When I stopped talking, the internet’s like “this n##ga got beef with YG.” Because I didn’t say nothing about it, that’s what made it a problem. I seen him at DB Lounge, I told him “I don’t know what’s going on with you, but I ain’t got no issues.” He’s like “man I ain’t got no problems with you. You help me make this music, what you talking about Tay?” When I heard him say that, I’m like “he’s still a real one.” I got the most love for him. Nobody’s heard that, you’re the first person.

“This isn’t about me, it’s about speaking for those that are oppressed and demonized that they can’t speak for them­selves and they can’t fight for themselves,” Jeezy told Billboard. “I just feel like this is their album. This is their talk and I feel like it’s a celebration… it’s like the kid that graduated from high school last year. Now it’s a nice time for the real world. Now it’s time for the real goal — the real accolades. You already put in the work and you pass with flying colors. So this is the celebration.”

In addition to putting work in the studio, Jeezy has been hard at work building his business empire, with investments in Defiance Fuel, American Cut Steakhouse, Tequila Avion and Figgers Wireless. 

Take a look at the tracklisting for TM 104: THE LEGEND OF THE SNOWMAN, which is due in stores on August 23.

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Tekashi69’s manager Shotti has been sentenced for his role in a wild fight at Philippe Chow in Manhattan.

According to reports, Shotti, born Kifano Jordan, has been sentenced to time served for smashing a chair over the head of a security guard inside of the swanky restaurant.

Shotti, who ran a record label called Treway, pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree assault over the incident. 

Tekashi69 was trying to party back in October after he received probation for violating a plea agreement for putting a naked 13-year-old girl in one of his videos. 

Things spun out of control when Shotti and other members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods showed up to Philippe Chow and crashed the party, literally.

A fight broke out and Shotti hit a guard over the head with a chair. The security guards were licensed to pack heat and opened fire and according to reports, hit Shotti twice in the stomach. 

Tekashi69’s bodyguard Faheem “Crippy” Walter was also shot and has to wear a colostomy bag for the rest of his life. He was sentenced to five years in prison for the altercation.

Shotti is also facing15 years in prison for participating in a RICO conspiracy, while his former client/gang member Tekashi69 has cut a deal with Feds for a reduced sentence.

Gracious Lil Nas X was quick to salute Billie on Twitter, writing: “congratulations to billie eilish!! u deserve this!!”

French Montana Says He Will Always Be In Love With Khloe Kardashian

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) French Montana opened up on his relationship with ex-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian.

The rapper dated the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star briefly in 2014, not long after her 2013 split from ex-husband, Lamar Odom but before she had a baby with Tristan Thompson.

The couple parted ways after less than a year together, but French Montana said he is “always going to be friends” with his former love.

“I feel like we had a real dope relationship – there was no bad blood, nobody did something to somebody that we couldn’t come back from,” French Montana said in an interview with Haute Living.

“When the love was like that, it’s always going to be like that,” French said. “Friendship after a relationship is something that’s real hard to do, and I’m glad we’ve been able to do it.”

The rapper recently reunited with the mother-of-one at her sister Kourtney’s 40th birthday party in April but an insider said that they were not dating.
