Diddy & Lori Harvey May Be Ready For Some Babies!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Sean Diddy Combs is one of the guys that I have come to admire for a whole MYRIAD of reasons! He’s really navigated the waters through the years. Now, he stands at a cross roads of sorts. He has a 22 year old girlfriend, Lori Harvey, who is the daughter of one Steve Harvey. She is no biological kid, but we are past that. She is his daughter! Now, moving right along…whatever turbulence that was present has subsided and Diddy and Lori are back on COMPLETELY! 

The rumor is they are getting ready for kids! You didn’t hear this from me! You read this somewhere else like TMZ. But, the reality is, they are just getting their love on! Diddy is 49 so he’s no spring chicken. I am sure all of the qualities he’s exuded with J. Lo,Kim Porter and others has worked on Lori too. They were spotted out in Cabo and that’s where the rumors started. He rubbed her belly admiring her abs and it turned into this convo about babies!

I still don’t think they are going that route, but since the relationship is getting more serious, it seems that way. Who am I to get mad? I have to say, I wonder what this relationship looks like when she is 32 and he’s 59 or when she’s 42 and he’s 69! Women in their 50’s are still out there getting it in! I hope Diddy has all his pills to pop when he’s looking to satisfy a lovely hot woman at 79! 

I ain’t gonna lie! I miss Cassie! But, I have to say Diddy’s Revolt conference got people talking!

Rick Ross Reveals What He Would Say To Notorious B.I.G. If He Was Still Alive

(AllHipHop News) Late rapper Notorious B.I.G.’s friends and family assembled in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York over the weekend to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his timeless record Ready To Die.

The rapper’s mom Voletta Wallace and kids, CJ Wallace and T’yanna Wallace, were joined by his ex-girlfriend Lil Kim, rapper Rick Ross, and widow Faith Evans at the William Vale Hotel Westlight Lounge.

“He blew my mind,” Rick Ross told Billboard. “If Biggie were here right now, I wish I could tell him that. Even on the way here, we were just talking about how he’s the first rapper we heard to use the word ‘stupendous.’ The wordplay is next level. The flows are so grimy, yet so classic. He will live on.”

In addition to the celebration, several murals submitted by fans as part of the Biggie Inspires contest were put on exhibition in the venue and in Brooklyn.

Why Are Celebs Like Rihanna And Zendaya Going To “Slave Play”?

(AllHipHop Rumors) There is a play called “Slave Play” and the name had people up in arms for a few, but, as you know, cancel culture isn’t as effective as we thought. It is still out there and popular people like Rihanna and Zendaya have recently sparked up the convo, because they are out watching said play. So, lets get to the bottom of this play.

It stunned audiences with a sold-out run at New York Theatre Workshop. Now, SLAVE PLAY is coming to Broadway. Written by Jeremy O. Harris,“one of the most promising playwrights of his generation” (Vogue), this “dazzling mix of satire and psychodrama” (The New York Times) is directed by two-time NAACP and Obie Award® winner Robert O’Hara. At the MacGregor Plantation, nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems. SLAVE PLAY rips apart history to shed new light on the nexus of race, gender, and sexuality in 21st-century America.

This basically tells us nothing! So, lets go a little farther!

Rihanna and the person that put this play together, Jeremy O. Harris, linked up during fashion week and hit it off. “Well, Rihanna, would you come to my Slave Play?” he may have said. They connected in such a way that she decided to come out on Saturday and bless him with the rest of the sold-out crowd. Not sure if he talked to Zendaya as well, but she showed up on Sunday! And she let people KNOW she was there through her social media.  

Well, as somebody tuned in with the people, I can tell you that “people” are not pleased! This play has been controversial from day one and continues to be, primarily due to the name of the play. And the reviews have not been great either. So, let me understand why!

John Legend Very Angry Over Felicity Huffman Jail Sentence

(AllHipHop News) John Legend thinks “no one will benefit” from Felicity Huffman’s 14-day prison sentence for her part in the college admissions scandal.

Huffman discovered her fate in a federal courtroom in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday, and will serve 14 days locked up in jail.

She will also have to pay a $30,000 fine, complete 250 hours of community service and she will be on probation for one year following her discharge from jail.

And while the prison sentence is only half of what prosecutors suggested, the “All of Me” hitmaker finds it totally unnecessary – and he took to Twitter to slam the sentencing.

“No one in our nation will benefit from the 14 days an actress will serve for cheating in college admissions. We don’t need to lock people up for any of this stuff,” Legend said.

He acknowledged he understood why people get mad about inequalities in sentences handed to “rich people” compared with “poor people of color,” but insisted prison has become useless because it’s become so overused.

“Americans have become desensitized to how much we lock people up. Prisons and jails are not the answer to every bad thing everyone does, but we’ve come to use them to address nearly every societal ill,” the singer continued. “It’s insane we locked a woman up for 5 years for sending her kid to the wrong school district. Literally everyone involved in that decision should be ashamed of themselves.

“It’s unconscionable that we locked a woman up for voting when, unbeknownst to her, she was ineligible. Her sentence shouldn’t be fewer years. It should be ZERO.”

Huffman pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud in May and is the first of more than 30 parents charged in the college bribery scam to be sentenced.

Full House star Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer hubby Mossimo Giannulli have also been accused of buying college officials to get their daughters into the University of Southern California, but they refused a plea deal from the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.

Johnny Gill Discusses New Music, Signing Ralph Tresvant, New Edition Beef, Haters, & MORE!

(AllHipHop Features) R&B crooner Johnny Gill has a career in music that entertainers would kill for. The 50-something-year-old has successfully maintained a career in music since the early 80’s and shows no signs of slowing down. He’s already atop the Billboard charts thanks to his new album Game Changer II with the Tiffany Haddish-fueled video for “Soul Of A Woman.”

However, Johnny has been a part of a number of matters that have penetrated popular urban culture, most notably his inclusion as a member of the seminal group R&B New Edition. He and N.E. bandmate Ralph Tresvant are the owners of the name “New Edition,” which has caused strife within the ranks of the members. “We are a group that’s had issues from the start and it ain’t stopped,” he says candidly in this exclusive interview with AllHipHop. But, the Washington D.C. native has a just explanation for the move and he explains. 

Johnny is more concerned with matters of music and pushing his business endeavors forward. He’s released his new album on his own label, J Skillz Entertainment, and he’s even signed Ralph Tresvant to the imprint. He also talks about what seems to be discrimination in mainstream outlets that don’t seem to see value in his Grammys, Soul Train Awards, multiple albums with the likes of Gerald LeVert, Keith Sweat, Stacy Lattisaw and, of course, New Edition. 

In a conversation with Chuck Creekmur, the famous crooner answers all the tough questions and gets granular with how he’s been so successful for so long. 

Michael Jackson’s Estate Responds To ‘Leaving Neverland’ Winning An Emmy

(AllHipHop News) Leaving Neverland took home an Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special at the Creative Arts Emmys. The four-hour presentation focused on former child stars Wade Robson and James Safechuck’s sexual assault and molestation allegations against the late Michael Jackson.

Since airing on HBO in March, Leaving Neverland has been both celebrated for highlighting abuse and slammed for overlooking inaccuraciesMJ’s family members vehemently denied the global superstar molested Robson, Safechuck, or any other children before the documentary even hit television.

The Michael Jackson Estate strongly pushed back against the accusations in Leaving Neverland by providing what it called “undeniable facts” about MJ and the accusers. Additionally, representatives of the deceased “King Of Pop” responded to the controversial doc being recognized by the Television Academy.

A statement from the Estate reads, “For a film that is a complete fiction to be honored in a nonfiction Emmy category is a complete farce. Not one shred of proof supports this completely one-sided, so-called documentary which was made in secrecy and for which not one person outside of the two subjects and their families were interviewed.”

Michael Jackson’s 21-year-old daughter, Paris Jackson, also addressed the documentary and concerns it would tarnish her father’s legacy. She told her Twitter followers, “Yeah they do that to everyone with a good heart and tries to make a [difference] but do you really think that it’s possible to tear his name down? Like do you truly believe they stand a chance? Relax and have peace.”

Leaving Neverland brought in good ratings for HBO. Dan Reed’s film earned the third-largest viewership for an HBO documentary this decade. It averaged around 1.29 million viewers for its initial broadcast. In total, Leaving Neverland collected five Emmy nominations, including a nod for Outstanding Directing For A Documentary/Nonfiction Program.

So when 2Pac did an interview with MTV News correspondent Tabitha Soren in ’95, it was must-see TV.

MTV News published the 20-minute throwback Q&A on its YouTube Channel. The conversation took place on California’s Venice boardwalk. 

Tupac and Soren talked about topics such as Pac’s name, his mother Afeni Shakur, performing with Digital Underground, being in touch with his feminine side, and the “Thug Life” mentality. Of course, the “Dear Mama” rapper was asked about the infamous shooting in NYC and possibly finding out who orchestrated the ambush. 

“I’m saying. Then what do I do… Then what do I do when I find them,” responded 2Pac. “The police know who shot me… They’re not doing everything they can. They know who shot me… Everybody knows who shot me.”

He continued, “That situation with me is what comes around goes around. I believe in Karma. I believe in all of that. I’m not worried about it. They missed. I’m not worried about it unless they come back.”

Tupac Shakur was murdered in 1996. The 25-year-old emcee was gunned down in Las Vegas on September 7 and passed away on September 13. His homicide is still officially unsolved. 

Nike’s Colin Kaepernick “Dream Crazy” Ad Wins An Emmy For Outstanding Commercial

The former San Francisco 49ers player became a controversial figure when he ignited the kneeling protests against racial injustice during the playing of the national anthem at football games.

“They are definitely anti-heroes and survivors in a game that is rigged,” says Lopez. “It all began with the idea that they would get back at the Wall Street big shots who turned the country upside down in 2008. But just as it is with any hustle, once you start playing it’s hard to find the courage to stop.”

E-40 Invests In Filipino Food Company

(AllHipHop News) E-40 is still rapping and still leveling up left and right.

With all his endeavors as a businessman, which includes starting his wine beverage line that’s available to purchase at all BevMos, now he’s turning his focus to food.

Filipino food to be exact!

Thanks to his love for lumpia, it was only right for the Ambassador of the Bay to invest in the Lumpia Company.

E-40 is the new co-owner of the growing Filipino food company, best known for their spring rolls and lumpia bacon burgers.

“Being from Vallejo, California, my surroundings was all walks of life, very diverse. Filipinos were a big part of Vallejo’s community… some of my best friends was Filipino. I ate lumpia with the kids I grew up around, and it became one of my favorite dishes of all time,” E-40 told Eater San Francisco.

Food entrepreneur Alex Retodo started Lumpia Company in 2015, but it was the moment E-40 had a sample of his lumpia that “history was made,” he said, revealing the brand’s best selling item is the bacon cheeseburger lumpia.

They currently sell from a takeout window in a 30-foot Lumpia trailer in Uptown Oakland as well as inside Oracle Park, home of baseball team San Francisco Giants.

E-40 and Alex Retodo are currently hard at work developing plans to franchise their successful business.

(AllHipHop News) Three hip-hop legends will be honored in the most beautiful way, in the form of a sculpture standing in the middle of Queens Public Library in Jamaica.

The sculpture will feature the torsos of Hollis’ own Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC, St. Alban’s Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest and Prodigy from Queensbridge’s hip-hop duo Mobb Deep.

Each sculpture’s height rises 9 feet into the air.

Titled “A Cypher in Queens,” each sculpture also has a dope feature, which is an acoustic enclosure where visitors can stream the music of each artist, with playlists curated by the sculptor Sherwin Banfield.

“When I look at these three individuals who are different in their artistic expression and having them pass away, it seemed like the obvious choice for me to choose to memorialize them,” said Banfield.

Visitors and tourists can view the sculpture until February 2020.

Did Fetty Wap Go And Get Married?

(AllHipHop Rumors) I am hearing that the NJ representer Fetty Wap went and got married. Now, the evidence of this “marriage” has disappeared from social media. Here is what apparently happened. Masika Kalysha is a rapper that now goes with Fetty Wap and she put on the interWEBS that she and Fetty were married. There was an inclusion of the word “hood” as in “Hood Marriage” and that has people wondering if this is a real or not. 

It may not be since it got erased from the internet. 

But, you know nothing from the ‘net never really goes away! Here is what Masika said, “”Y’all really can’t believe that we just happy and in love. That post was to highlight how amazing my man is and even when s**t was difficult he still managed to make my birthday great!” In another post that I found floating online, Fetty himself said, “Woke up a married man.”

Well, Fetty has seven kids with six different baby mommas. He recently said one of them wasn’t his biologially, but I don’t know why he wouldn’t just add another one to the repertoire! Anyway, I AM actually happy for them! Ain’t too many people out there happy!

Meek Mill Stops By His Old Elementary School To Donate Much-Needed Supplies

(AllHipHop News) Meek Mill is far more than just a rapper.

The Philly native not only speaks out about the corrupt justice system, but he also gives back to his community in major ways.

Yesterday (September 13), the Championships artist donated over 500 backpacks to students at his old elementary school.

Meek stopped by James G. Blaine Elementary School to personally hand out the supplies and backpacks himself, as the students went crazy for not only him, but the new goodies.

He also laced their teachers with 30 classroom packs, ensuring they have what they need to teach their students efficiently during the school year.

The rapper was in his hometown during a stop on his “Legendary Nights” tour with Future.

It was just last month that Meek unveiled a completely new basketball court in his old neighborhood in Philly.
