Cardi B Takes Issue With People Painting Bernie Sanders As A “Scrawny Old Man”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Belcalis “Cardi B” Almánzar is one of Bernie Sanders’ biggest supporters. Earlier this year, the “Press” rapper and the presidential candidate sat down for a conversation about various political topics including police brutality, immigration, health care, and student debt.

Sanders has made headlines in recent days because the self-described Democratic Socialist was hospitalized in Las Vegas for a heart attack. Despite those health concerns, Cardi is still standing by the 78-year-old Vermont senator.

“I always liked him. He’s been fighting for a long time for all, you know. I’m saying he’s very passionate about people,” expressed Cardi at Vogue magazine’s Forces of Fashion conference. “There’s some people that are like natural humanitarians. They just want to take care of the world that they love, saving the planet. They want to see equal rights. He’s been doing that for a long time.”

The Bronx-bred entertainer added, “That’s one thing I love about him. It’s a little tricky now that he’s had the heart attack because people have been trying to paint Bernie as like this little scrawny old man, which is crazy. When I met him, he was actually pretty strong and very tall. He’s 6’1. Wow! I don’t feel like because he had a heart attack it’s a problem. I have asthma. If I have an asthma attack is my career over? I don’t like that.”

The latest RealClearPolitics average has Senator Sanders polling nationally at 15.2% in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. He trails former Vice President Joe Biden (27.8%) and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren (26%). The next Democratic debate is scheduled for October 15 on CNN.

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Let me entertain this. The fine nation of Jamaica has pulled a heist of sorts. They have somehow gotten people to believe that Rihanna is now from there, not Barbados, the place we have always known she’s from. 

Where did this all start?

Rihanna is rumored to have gotten her Jamaican citizenship recently. 

Rihanna somehow managed to spark the hashtag #RihannaIsJamaican and also a beef between Jamaicans and Bajans. “Jamaicans, you know, if we pretend like Rihanna is Jamaican, the world would believe us and there is nothing the Bajans can do about it. Let’s kidnap Rihanna’s nationality, y’all.”

A single tweet got Jamaican Twitter users and prompting a whole lot of back and forth with Caribbeans. The only thing is The Bajans are not playing! “RIHANNA IS BAJAN. BARBADOS. SHE IS FROM BARBADOS. JAMAICANS F*** OFF!!!!!” said one person on social media.

Warner Bros Reportedly Working On A ‘Training Day’ Prequel

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Some film aficionados believe the remake/reboot/prequel bubble in Hollywood is on the verge of bursting. The argument is that audiences will eventually get tired of seeing rehashed IP.

However, those concerns have not stopped studios from moving forward with countless doses of motion picture nostalgia (for example, a Set It Off remake is in the works). According to Collider, Warner Bros is set to offer yet another shot of “Hey, don’t you remember how much you loved this movie?”

The studio is reportedly working on a prequel to 2001’s Training Day. Apparently, the new film takes place days before the 1992 Los Angeles Riots which were ignited by four LAPD officers being acquitted for assaulting motorist Rodney King. Nick Yarborough is writing the script.

Antoine Fuqua directed the original Training Day. The crime drama starred Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. Both men were nominated for Oscars with Washington winning Best Actor for portraying the crooked cop Alonzo Harris. A television series of the same name aired on CBS in 2017.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Last week, a tracklist for Wale’s new project Wow… That’s Crazy emerged on the internet. Several guest features – such as Megan Thee Stallion, Ari Lennox, Bryson Tiller – were revealed, but the DMV emcee purposely left off a couple of names.

Wow… That’s Crazy arrived today (October 11), and some listeners were surprised to see two of Wale’s longtime collaborators appear on the album. Fellow Maybach Music Group delegates Rick Ross and Meek Mill contributed to the song “Routine.”

“We didn’t put it on the tracklist ’cause it’s like, ‘Come on this ride with us,'” Wale told Hot 97. He also declared, “The three-headed monster is back.” 

According to the Warner Records-signed rapper, “Routine” started off as a Meek song. MMG stars Rick Ross, Meek Mill, and Wale previously joined forces on other tracks such as “Ambition,” “Pandemonium,” “Lay Up,” and “Bag Of Money.” 

Blueface On 6ix9ine: He Gets No Passes In Los Angeles

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) There are reports that Tekashi 6ix9ine has gotten a record deal worth $10 million despite the fact he testified in federal court that several of his rap peers are gang members. Will Hip Hop culture accept the “snitch” after his release from prison?

California rhymer Blueface seems to think 6ix9ine will not be welcomed back to Los Angeles after becoming a government witness against alleged Nine Trey Bloods. TMZ caught the “Thotiana” performer outside LAX airport and asked the self-confessed Crip about Tekashi.

“F*ck 6ix9ine, School Yard Crip. If he comes to Cali, I’m gonna have my man lay it down,” quipped Blueface. When asked about 6ix9ine’s supposed $10 million contract, he replied, “It’ll be a statement. We’ll see if it lasts. I don’t think it will, but you never know in 2019.”

Before getting indicted on racketeering and firearm charges, 6ix9ine was involved in a highly publicized beef with West Coaster YG. The Compton emcee’s artist, Slim 400, even claimed he blocked New York-based Tekashi from entering the 2018 ComplexCon event in Long Beach.

Blueface addressed whether the convicted felon born Daniel Hernandez can ever return to the Los Angeles area. The Cash Money West signee joked that it will take eight figures for 6ix9ine to re-enter LA. 

“$10 million, all of it. Nah, I’m playing. He don’t get no passes. We don’t do no snitching out here. He don’t get no pass,” said Blueface. The 22-year-old social media star later added, “He’s gonna keep the little white kids, though. They probably still gonna f*ck with him, but I’m for sure not.”

The Prince Estate Calls Out Donald Trump For Using “Purple Rain” During A Rally

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Donald Trump held a campaign rally at the Target Center in Minneapolis on Thursday night. At one point, the president’s team played Prince’s classic record “Purple Rain” for the crowd.

Representatives of the late Purple One had a problem with Trump’s use of the singer’s song. The Prince Estate quickly released a response on Twitter with a message claiming the POTUS renigged on a previous agreement.

“President Trump played Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ tonight at a campaign event in Minneapolis despite confirming a year ago that the campaign would not use Prince’s music. The Prince Estate will never give permission to President Trump to use Prince’s songs,” read the tweet.

Other music acts have also called out the Trump campaign for incorporating their tunes into his events. In 2018, Pharrell Williams sent Trump a cease-and-desist letter after his “Happy” played at a rally, and Rihanna denounced the President’s “tragic rallies” for featuring “Don’t Stop the Music” that same year.

Chance The Rapper Has President Barack Obama’s Hotline To Call Whenever He Wants

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Chance The Rapper has a special phone number he can call when he wants to speak to former U.S. President Barack Obama.

The hip-hop star hails from Chicago, Illinois, the city where Obama got his start in politics, and both have worked on community projects.

Speaking to chat show host James Corden for a new installment of his “The Late Late Show” segment “Carpool Karaoke,” Chance reveals he has a contact number he has to call that means the ex-president then calls him back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abrHY5n74H8

“I don’t have his number, but I have a number for him,” Chance said. “I have a person I could call that will say, ‘OK, I’ll have him call you.'”

Revealing that his rap mogul pal Jay-Z has a similar arrangement, he added: “It’s the same way with Jay-Z. Jay-Z and Barack Obama are very similar.

“Both of them have an assistant that you have to call, and then you get a call from a private number, and it’s either Jay-Z or Barack Obama on the phone. I never know which one is calling when I get that call back number.”

However, Chance and James revealed that their experiences of another hip-hop star, Kanye West, were very different as the host revealed Kanye had once given him his number and directly contacted him back about a party in the early hours of the morning.

Explaining the “Jesus Walks” rapper’s spontaneity, the Best Life musician added: “Kanye’s the kind of dude where, like, you’ll meet up with him to do one thing, and then he’ll be like, ‘Oh! I gotta go to Milan right now, let’s get on this jet.’

And you gotta make a decision right there. Like, ‘Am I about to follow Kanye to Milan or go to this date that I have planned?'”

Judge Gives Tekashi 6ix9ine Associate Ro Murda A 24-Month Reduction After Prison Assault

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Tekashi 6ix9ine’s old gang buddy Roland “Ro Murda” Martin was hit with a 66-month prison sentence earlier today in court.

Ro Murda, who has been locked up since November of 2018, when he was busted with Tekashi 6ix9ine and other members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods in a sweeping RICO case.

Ro Murda will get credit for 10 months served, meaning he will spend 56 months or four years in Federal prison.

Judge Engelmayer sentenced Ro Murda at the lower end of the recommendation of 90 months recommended by the case’s prosecutor, Geoffrey S. Berman.

The judge cut Ro Murda a break and reduced his sentence by 24 months, because he cut ties with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, and was assaulted in prison as a result.

Ro Murda is also barred from associating with any former gang members and that includes social media as well.

Tekashi 6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez, testified against the Gang during a two-week trial for Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and “Anthony Harv” Ellison.

His testimony secured guilty pleas from Jamel “Mel Murda” Jones, Kifano “Shotti Jordan and Roland “Ro Murda” Martin, Jensel “Ish” Butler, Denard Butler, Fuguan Lovick, his bodyguard Faheem “Crippy” Walter and others.

EXCLUSIVE: Judge Sets Deadline For Kanye West And EMI To Formalize Settlement

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West and EMI Publishin need to finalize their settlement agreement and fast.

Kanye and EMI have been tangled up in a lawsuit since January of 2019.

The rapper vowed to sue EMI, claiming the company refused to sell him back his publishing for an estimated $8-9 million.

Kanye filed his lawsuit in California and claimed the “servitude” contract he signed in 2003 was lopsided and even barred him from retiring as an artist or performer.

EMI filed a countersuit against Kanye, claiming their contract was perfectly legal since he signed the deal in New York and that he had extended the agreement.

However, both parties unexpectedly announced they had made a settlement in September, but the terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

In the latest update, the judge overseeing the case has ordered both parties to get the settlement talks done ASAP.

“In light of the parties’ notice of settlement, indicating that the case has settled in its entirety and that the parties are finalizing their written settlement agreement, this action is placed in inactive status,” Judge Dolly Gee recently wrote.

According to Judge Gee, Kanye and EMI have until December 30th to file either (1) a stipulation and proposed order for dismissal of the action or judgment, or (2) a motion to reopen if settlement has not been consummated.

Judge Gee said if either party fails to comply with the order, the lawsuit will be dismissed on December 31, 2019.

Rumors & Tidbits: Joe Budden, 50 Cent vs Jim Jones, Beef With Tip And Iggy Azalea!

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Now, you know…I thought the whole Joe Budden/ Cyn Santana break-up was staged for TV. You know these Love and Hip-Hop relationships go! But, this thing is carrying on longer than I expected and there does not seem to be an end in sight! Cyn recently did an interview with “New York” from “Flavor Of Love” aka Tiffany Pollard and let it be known. She’s the happiest she’s ever been and she had to do that break up for her mental health.itale 

Now, this does not bode well in the “scripted for TV” way i thought. This seems REAL! 

50 CENT VS DIPSET IS HEATING UP!

Last year when we talked to Jim Jones, it was friendly with 50 Cent, but he did talk about shooting the fair one. At that point, it just seemed like they were going back and forth over silly stuff like lifting weights. But then this Tekashi business came flowing like the monthly. And some tried to implicate Mr. Jim Jones as something we know he ain’t – a snitch!!! But when 50 Cent put it out there, it went far and wide. It was NOT a good look for the Harlem Diplomat. When you throw FreeKey Zeke in the mix, you have an explosive situation. 

I don’t much see folks punching on each other, but it definitely seem like a fair one could happen. FreeKey is crazy! 

T.I. AND IGGY BEEF IS HEATING UP!

T.I. recently did an interview where he referred to Iggy Azalea as he worst blunder. Well, he had good reason, but it was probably stated wrong and could have been stated differently. Check it out.

This could get messy fast. I didn’t like their song “The Murder Business,’ but Iggy has not been too much trouble!

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Kevin Hart has headed back to work as he continues his recovery from a life-threatening car crash that occurred earlier this year.

The comedian was discharged from hospital last month after suffering a horror crash in his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda on the Mulholland Highway in Calabasas, California, with the star still undergoing intensive physical therapy.

The star is fighting fit and has begun work on the marketing campaign for the upcoming “Jumanji: The Next Level” alongside co-stars Dwayne Johnson, Danny DeVito, and Danny Glover.

According to reports, the three actors were all “happy to see him,” and have reportedly reduced their work schedules to accommodate the recovering funnyman.

Hart’s friend Jared Black was behind the wheel of the vehicle, while Black’s fiancee, personal trainer Rebecca Broxterman, sat in the backseat of the car with the star.

The couple is now reportedly planning to sue Hart over their injuries, arguing that his classic car did not have proper safety harnesses or airbags.

Cardi B Cites Travis Scott As A Great Example For Rising Rappers

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Cardi B has urged young rappers to follow pal Travis Scott’s example and record all their performances.

The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker sat down with child star Young Dylan during a recent appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and offered up a few tips on how to make it big in the hip-hop game.

The 26-year-old told the youngster to keep practicing – and always get his rhymes on camera.

“Make sure you record every single time you rap because, let me tell you something, there’s this guy called Travis Scott and he did a documentary and he had videos of when he was a little kid,” Cardi offered. “And I was like, ‘Wow, I wish my parents had recorded me when I was a little kid’.

“So you should record yourself when you’re rapping so when you become a big star, you can do the same thing he did.”

Young Dylan is already well on his way to fame – he’ll star in a new kids’ show, developed by Tyler Perry.

Touring Company Fires Back In Legal War With Lil Peep’s Mom And Says Rapper Caused His Own Death

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Bosses at the touring company rapper Lil Peep’s mother is suing for his death have fired back, insisting he and he alone is to blame for the tragedy.

The hip-hop star, real name Gustav Ahr, died of an accidental overdose at the age of 21 in November 2017.

His mom, Liza Womack, has filed a lawsuit against First Access Entertainment and people associated with the company, claiming they allowed and encouraged the use of controlled drugs and illegal substances, while her son was on the road.

She claims that, during a stop in London, her son was gifted a bottle of pills by one of his managers, and alleged the drug use continued during his final Come Over When You’re Sober tour, where the star was allegedly supplied with drugs, including Xanax and Ketamine.

Womack also complains Peep wanted to quit the tour, but his handlers ignored his pleas and made him continue on the road, ultimately resulting in the star’s untimely death.

But now First Access Entertainment bosses have responded to the suit, insisting no one forced Peep to follow the “destructive path” that cost him his life.

A representative for the firm tells TMZ the rap star’s handlers “consistently encouraged Peep to stop abusing drugs and to distance himself from the negative influence of the drug users and enablers.”

“He was an adult who made his own decisions and opted to follow a different, more destructive path,” the rep adds.

According to Kim, as long as the protests are “peaceful,” then she’s a big supporter.

And despite telling one particularly forward protester to “back up,” Kim said during an interview on U.S. TV show Extra that she’s wholeheartedly a supporter of people defending what they believe in – as long as they do so peacefully.

“I do not mind protesting. I think you should definitely stand up for your right,” she said. “I love, love animals… However, you do not take things into your own hands. You do not get aggressive. You do not jump into anyone’s space.

“Peaceful protests mean more than anything… Go ahead, PETA, keep doing what you do. I am supporting you from a distance if you’re not in my upper space trying to violate. At the end of the day, I understand what you are fighting for.”

Meanwhile, Kim discussing her first album in 14 years, the “Magic Stick” rapper shared it features collaborators including; Musiq Soulchild, Rick Ross, O.T. Genasis and City Girls.

“Expect variety, expect Kimmy to get a little different,” she said. “I got to grow, I’ve got to reinvent myself, I’ve gotta show I am still that fly… At the same time, I am a classic, but I am in the now and I will be in the future.”

Lil’ Kim’s new album, 9, drops Friday.

Summer Walker & Ari Lennox Connect To Talk Bisexuality, Plastic Surgery & More

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) A few years ago, there were music pundits insisting the Rhythm & Blues genre was on its deathbed. Fast forward to 2019 and a fresh crop of artists have revived R&B for a new generation.

For example, this year saw the arrival of Ari Lennox’s Shea Butter Baby and Summer Walker’s Over It. Both albums have been met with positive reviews, and Over It is projected to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Ari and Summer sat down together for Apple Music/Beats 1 to have a discussion about all of the things they are “over.” The two singers chatted about waxing, nipples, social media, monogamy, plastic surgery, hairstyles, music, bisexuality, and more.

“I have weird types. They be like 4-foot-1 and f*cking studs. Little studs. Little, cute studs,” said Walker about her attraction to women. Lennox responded, “I’ve always wanted to be with a woman, but they never try to have sex with me. They never try.”

The conversation was inspired by Apple Music’s new R&B Now playlist (formerly known as The A-List: R&B). Besides Summer Walker and Ari Lennox, the collection also includes tunes by Chris Brown, H.E.R., Khalid, Jhené Aiko, Ty Dolla $ign, Kehlani, Jacquees, Ella Mai, and other acts.

”R&B Now will make sure the world understands that this genre is the backbone you and the essential glue of all popular music genres in the world. We are so excited to set this off!!” stated Apple Music Global Editorial Head of Hip-Hop and R&B Ebro Darden.
