“I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek (Mill) at the Warldolf for ‘prison reform,'” he wrote.
Now Meek has addressed the allegations, taking to social media on Wednesday with two cryptic posts that appear to deny an affair took place, without naming Kim or Kanye.
“S##t is cappp (lies) cmon…,” he wrote on Twitter, hours after posting about loyalty on his Instagram Story.
“Some people aren’t loyal to you; they are loyal to their need of you. Once their need changes, so does their loyalty,” a quote from a phone screenshot read. “I had to learn this through experience.”
Meek’s responses arrived the same day Kim released a statement asking fans for compassion as Kanye battles his latest bipolar episode.
“As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder,” Kardashian stated. “Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand.”
“People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”
(AllHipHop Rumors) Can you believe this news? Mike Tyson, the 54-year old boxing champion, will fight Roy Jones Junior, another champion in the sweet science, in an 8-round exhibition match. Dis Tew Much! This is definitely “A Sign That The World Is Coming To An End” because these guys are way past their prime no matter what social media tells you. Now, what is even more interesting is that they are quite possibly evenly yoked as fighters. Roy Jones J. fought as a heavyweight for a short period of time but most of his fighting under that. Mike Tyson, on the other hand is known as one of the most celebrated knockout artist ever, fought exclusively as a heavyweight for his entire career.
The big question is: “Do people want to see this fight?“
They are going to put the fight on pay-per-view and on the social video application Triller. I hate to say this people, but I think folks do want to see this scrap even if it is a spectacle. We haven’t really been able to enjoy sports during this period of quarantine and I think people are really “jonesin'” for the opportunity to see a big fight with big names. The fight has been officially sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission and will include performances. Triller is also going to include a 10-part series that show Iron Mike and RJJ preparing for the exhibition. Mike Tyson has not had a fight since June 2005 and Roy Jones Junior has not gotten in since February 2018 . This is going to be crazy to say the least. We have peeped Mike Tyson fight very quickly on social media and shows glimpses of his old self. What happens in the ring against Roy Jones Junior in the future is anyone’s guess. This fight will take place on September 12, 2020. Scary.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Are Tory Lanez and Megan A couple, doing the nasty? This guy Adam 22 says just that. I am not sure it makes him an expert on the matter, but he seems to have some intel that lines up with the gossip on the streets. He says that Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez were dating each other! He charges with vigor that Megan got extremely drunk at Kylie Jenner’s house. Seems like Megan was ALLEGEDLY upset that Tory was flirting with Kylie or at least seemed like he was flirting with her. Then, Megan and Tory got into an argument over the alleged flirting, per Adam and others.
This then seemingly turned into a physical altercation and then things got really ugly. It should be noted that Megan is nearly 6 feet tall and Tory is closer to 5 feet tall than he is 6 feet tall. I am not excusing any man shooting any woman. In fact, I think you should thrown “them thangs” if you’re going to do anything. But, this seems to be why it all went “south.” Now, I don’t know what Cam’ron is looking at when he sees Megan Thee Stallion, but he made a joke suggesting that The Hot Girl was a man. I just don’t see what you guys, if you guys feel the same way, see when you look at this woman.
But to me, the bigger question is: is this Tory Lanez’s defense?
Is the smaller Tory Lanez looking to create a scenario where self-defense is on the table with a larger woman allegedly attacking him? Make no mistake about it, there may be precedence here, but it also could mean the end of his rap career. Tory Lanez does a lot of tough talk in his raps, but the reality may not be reflective of the rhymes. I find this highly interesting and it only means that 2020 is crazier than we ever imagined!
Megan Thee Stallion is not playing with any of you hoes.
Draya decided today was a good day to joke about Megan Thee Stallion. The reality check stopped by a podcast on Wednesday and offered her opinions on the last altercation between lanes and Megan Thee Stallion and she had jokes. “I predict that they had some sort of Bobby and Whitney love that, you know, drove them down this snapped-esque type of road,” Michele said! “I’m here for it. I like that. I want you to like me so much you shoot me in the foot, too. I want you to like me so much that if I’m trying to get out the car, and you’re like, ‘No, sit your ass in the car,’ and I’m like, ‘No n###a, I’m getting out the car.’ [He goes] ‘No you’re not!”
Now what the hell was she thinking by saying that it did not take long for word to get back to Megan Thee Stallion. Megan cursed Draya out on social media.
Dumb b#### that s### ain’t f###### funny who tf jokes about getting shot by a n####
(AllHipHop News) Tomorrow (July 24) will see the arrival of a new project by Hip Hop veteran Lupe Fiasco. The Chicago lyricist teamed up with producer Kaelin Ellis for the House EP.
House will host the song “SHOES” featuring fashion designer Virgil Abloh. The collection’s tracklist also includes “HOMME MADE,” “DINOSAURS,” “SLEDOM,” and “LF95.”
— CHECKIN’ Out Now! #APTMC (@LupeFiasco) July 22, 2020
Lupe Fiasco is adding the EP to his discography that already contains the classic Hip Hop albums Food & Liquor and The Cool. His most recent studio LP was 2018’s Drogas Wave.
Kaelin Ellis has also worked with Kaytranada from Montreal and Sango from Seattle. The musical connection with Lupe Fiasco is apparently the result of a Twitter exchange from back in May.
“My fav one [I’ve] done so far. Had this bassline come to me in a dream once…,” tweeted Ellis on 5/4. Fiasco quote-tweeted him and responded, “Stop leaving y’all beats just laying around…it ain’t safe out here…#LF95.” Ellis then replied, “Lupe lets work. This is crazy.”
(AllHipHop News) At the moment, Kanye West is planning to drop his 10th studio album,tentatively titled Donda: With Child,on July 24. That date will also see the arrival of a project from another music megastar.
This morning, Taylor Swift became the #1 trending topic on Twitter after revealing she will release her surprise album, Folklore,this Friday. This means the longtime rivals could be going head-to-head for chart supremacy.
Surprise 🤗 Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my 8th studio album, folklore; an entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. Pre-order at https://t.co/zSHpnhUlLbpic.twitter.com/4ZVGy4l23b
West and Swift’s feud began at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when the Chicago-raised rapper interrupted the Country singer during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video. Ye grabbed the microphone from Swift in order to praise Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” MV. “I’ma let you finish” became a classic quote from that moment.
The beef seemed to settle down at one point. Kanye West and Taylor Swift were photographed together at the 2015 Grammy Awards. Swift later presented West with MTV’s Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 VMA ceremony.
Things took a turn for the worse with the release of West’s single “Famous.” He raps on the song, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that b*tch famous.” Kanye insisted he got Swift’s approval for the line. Her team denied that claim.
Swift fired back at West at the 58th Annual Grammys in 2016. While accepting the trophy for Album Of The Year, she said, “I want to say to all the young women out there – there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.”
Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, then jumped into the matter. In 2016, the reality show star posted a secret recording of her husband’s phone call with Swift where it seemed as if the Pennsylvania native did give her blessings for the “Famous” song.
Earlier this year, a leaked longer version of the conversation appeared to show that Swift did not know she would be referred to as a “b*tch” on Kanye’s track. Kardashian pushed back by pointing out that Swift’s publicist specifically denied Kanye asked Swift for permission about the record in general.
Wait it's legit National Snake Day?!?!?They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days! 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
With Swift’s Folklore and West’s Donda apparently hitting DSPs on the same Friday, it is likely this longstanding back-and-forth will get more fuel this weekend. Their respective “stans” will surely use social media to sway public opinion about which LP is better and to try to drive their favored artist to #1 on the charts.
Kanye West was famously involved in a 2007 album sales battle with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson that garnered widespread media attention and significant fan interaction. Ye’s Graduation ultimately outsold 50’s Curtis – 957,000 first-week copies to 691,000 first-week copies.
Not even a freaking pandemic can sever the unholy cord that links Kanye West and Taylor Swift
(AllHipHop News) Megan Thee Stallion made it clear she has a problem with internet users joking about the July 12 shooting involving herself and Tory Lanez. The violent incident made headlines as people wondered what led to Lanez being arrested that night.
Cam’ron chose to weigh in on the situation. The Harlem-bred rapper posted a meme on his Instagram page that implied Megan was shot because Tory found out she was a pre-op transgender woman.
The IG re-post from @harlem_kd41 read, “Tory Lanez saw that d*ck and started [shooting]… [I don’t care] what no one say.” Cam then wrote in his caption, “Ayoooo… Da net wins again ♂️.”
Around the same time that Cam’ron was sharing jokes about Megan on Instagram, the “Savage” hitmaker was calling out Draya Michele on Twitter for comments she made on the Wine and Weed podcast. The television personality later apologized.
“Dumb b*tch that sh*t ain’t f*cking funny who tf jokes about getting shot by a n*gga,” tweeted Thee Stallion on Wednesday evening. She then added, “And f*ck all the hoe ass n*ggas making jokes about it too I’ll talk about sh*t when I get ready.”
(AllHipHop News) Summer 2020 has been filled with a lot of drama for the Smith family. The “entanglement” situation between Jada Pinkett Smith and August Alsina forced the actress and Will Smith to address their marital status in front of the entire world.
Before that, Jada Pinkett Smith and Jaden Smith blasted Shane Dawson for a resurfaced clip of the YouTuber sexualizing a then-11-year-old Willow Smith. Jaden tweeted, “SHANE DAWSON I AM DISGUSTED BY YOU.”
At least one member of the Smith household is now trying to turn the attention solely back to the art. Jaden Smith dropped the new song “Cabin Fever” today. Plus, his upcoming project, Cool Tapes Volume 3, is on the way.
“I don’t know, I’m just trying to make the kids happy right now, man. That’s it. I’m just trying to give them a little something-something. You know I care so much, you know? I really just have to give props and a big shout out to Burns right now for producing the record,” Jaden told Zane Lowe on Apple Music.
The forthcoming Cool Tapes Volume 3 will be the third installment inJaden’s mixtape series. He previously released The Cool Cafe: Cool Tape Vol. 1 in 2012 and CTV2 in 2014. CTV3 will be the performer’s first full-length effort since 2019’s Erysalbum.
“Internally for me, it doesn’t differ that much because I’m still trying to make the best thing that I’ve ever made. It’s not like, ‘Yo, this is just a mixtape.’ I’m still trying to make the best thing that I’ve ever made. Really the only distinction is the timelines I would say for me personally,” explained Jaden on the difference between an album and a mixtape.
He continued, “It’s like the tape is what makes it clear to my fans that this is coming directly after Cool Tape Volume 2, opposed to coming after Erys or after Syre. This is directly after Cool Tape Volume 2, so it’s in that slot. And if you’re a fan of me for a long, long time, you do feel like there is that little gap that we missed where it’s like, ‘You went from “PCH” to “Icon Living”.’”
(AllHipHop News) Lil Pump was once the leader of the “f*ck J. Cole” movement. The online disses, dating as far back as 2016, were Pump’s way of trolling the public in order to get more exposure for himself.
Cole seemed to understand the tactic. He said in 2018, “It’s trolling. We’re in the generation of trolling. These kids have figured out that attention is all that matters. The skill? Who gives a f*ck about the skill? F*ck quality. It’s all about attention.”
The North Carolina emcee not only spoke about Pump’s actions in interviews. On the KOD track titled “1985,” J. Cole subliminally warned the newcomer and other rappers like him that their careers would be short-lived.
That back-and-forth eventually led to Cole sitting down with Pump in 2018 for a lengthy conversation that was published on YouTube. They talked about their respective lives, creating music, the “1985” song, and more.
Well, Cole returned with two songs overnight. One of those records has listeners believing the Dreamville leader is having an “I Told You So” moment involving Lil Pump.
J. Cole raps on “Lion King On Ice”:
N*gga dissed me. It was nonsense. I sat ’em down like his father. My n*gga asked, “Why you bother?” We should of caught him and mobbed him. I said, “We gotta move smarter.” Don’t wanna be the reason for one more sad song. I tried to warn n*ggas they wouldn’t last long. I hope that you see how they came and they went. They shots never hit but they made they attempts. May have a good year like their name on a blimp. But you know what it take to be popping this long.
Lil Pump found huge mainstream success with “Gucci Gang” in 2017. The song peaked at #3 on Hot 100 chart. 2018’s “I Love It” with Kanye West also hit the Top 10. Pump’s Harverd Dropout project peaked at #7 in 2019, but it only remained on the Billboard 200 album chart for 7 weeks.
“One day them kids that listening gon grow up And get too old for that s### that made you blow up Now your shows lookin light cause they don’t show up”

(AllHipHop News) As part of his highly-publicized Twitter rant earlier this week, Kanye West took a moment to share his thoughts on one of the hottest rappers of the year. Ye tweeted, “Lil Baby my favorite rapper but won’t do a song with me.”
Last night, Lil Baby responded to West’s complaint about not being able to do a collaboration with the My Turn creator. The Atlanta-raised rhymer posted two tweets directed at Kanye.
“Nobody told me ye was trying to get me on a song that’s [f*cked] up,” wrote Lil Baby around 9:40 pm ET. He added, “@kanyewest no disrespect nobody told me.”
Nobody told me ye was trying to get me on a song 🧐 that’s fucced up
2020 has been the breakout year for Lil Baby. The My Turn album dropped in February and went on to spend five weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart which is the most weeks at #1 for any act this year.
Besides Kanye West expressing his appreciation for the 25-year-old Quality Control Music representative, Lil Baby also received praise from Lil Wayne. The two southerners connected for “Forever” off My Turn.
(AllHipHop News) As promised, J. Cole has released a pair of new songs that will lead to his next album. This is the first foray back into solo work that J. Cole has put forth since his 2018 album, 4 Your Eyez Only. NEW said
Fans were expecting two songs and received just that – “Lion King On Ice” and “The Climb Back.” The tunes are in a single package called Lewis Street. All lyrical “roads” lead to The Fall Off, the next album by Cole.
Cole has been busy, despite it being a while since his last whole album dropped. He has collaborated with Gang Starr, Young Thug, Big KRIT, YBN Cordae, DaBaby and his own crew, which appeared on Revenge Of The Dreamers III.
Earlier this year, Cole seemed to diss Chicago rapper Noname on a short song called “Snow on tha Bluff.”
KOD was Cole’s last album. There is no release date for The Fall Off.
Listen to “Lion King On Ice” and “The Climb Back” below.
Goonew is in his own lane with his own unique sound. Nowadays, it’s hard to stand out in the rap game. Everybody sounds like each other, everybody tries to chase that #1 hit, everyone is rapping about the same s##t. But Goonew enters with what some people call his “whisper rap flow,” bringing listeners into his environment in Maryland and putting on for his city of Forrest Creek any chance he can.
Boasting 135K followers on Instagram and counting, Goonew is nicknamed “the biggest goon,” a name that was given to him by his mother when he was a little boy. Overall, he describes himself as “a normal, regular person who likes to get money off rap.” In fact, he’s achieved much success doing things independently — with fans voicing their opinion on not wanting him to sign to a major.
Now, Goonew unleashes his most meaningful project to date: Big 64 2. Off the rip, the intro track “Life Story” speaks volumes, offering an introspective look into his real life. AllHipHop caught up with Goonew via Instagram Live to discuss his upbringing in Maryland, his fanbase back home, friendship with Lil Dude, friendship with G Herbo, and more!
AllHipHop: How are things over there in Maryland?
Goonew: It’s good. It’s a cool day today, everyone’s out here having a good time. We be outside every day, even on Sundays. I’ll be in the studio in a little bit.
AllHipHop: You just released Big 64 2, how’s the fan reception been?
Goonew: I’m feeling alright, I have to promote it more. I got a video shoot tomorrow. I have to shoot 2 videos, then I should be done with that s##t. I’m about to drop another tape in July. I’m working hard.
AllHipHop: On the intro track “Life Story,” you reminisce on “selling crack rock running the streets.” What’s the reality of growing up in Forrest Creek, Maryland?
Goonew: It’s like any hood neighborhood that’s tough growing up. Police mess with you all day, there’s shootouts, robbery, all types of stuff going on. You have to move and know what you’re doing.
AllHipHop: At what point did you realize you wanted to do music as a career?
Goonew: End of 2017, I was 19. My brother kept saying “bro you gotta rap.” I said “nah, I can’t do that s##t.” I just tried that s##t, I made a song with my brother. After that, I said “s##t, I’m about to do this.” N*ggas f##ked with it.
AllHipHop: Did you know what you were doing recording?
Goonew: Nah, I didn’t even know what I was doing forreal. I was new to everything, I wasn’t even listening to rap forreal. I gave off an old vibe when I was rapping. I listen to Boosie still, I still listen to Webbie. I listen to Nipsey, all types of s##t. I listen to old music, I listen to singing stuff.
AllHipHop: What do you like about Boosie and Webbie?
Goonew: It was their beats back in the day. That’s what I was going on because that’s what my mama was listening to.
AllHipHop: You have a very distinct style of rapping, Pitchfork described it as “whisper rapping.” How would you describe your sound?
Goonew: I just be high, that’s my voice. I was never into all that screaming rap s##t. I rap how I sound, that’s me. They’re not screaming now, but a lot of people used to be screaming coming up. Waka Flocka, everybody.
AllHipHop: What made you keep a low tone?
Goonew: I’m being myself, that’s all I was doing. That’s what I do. If you be yourself, I’m going to f##k with you. I don’t link up with too many people, n**gas be fake. I f##k with certains rappers in the industry like Durk, Herbo, Trippie Redd, Ian Connor, Lil Yatchy, they’re the only people I really know and be talking to sometimes. N*ggas be fake though.
AllHipHop: On “Saks Fifth,” you say “in my city I feel like the mayor.” What’s your hometown fanbase like?
Goonew: My hometown, we’re turnt up. I’m the only one in the city in Maryland right now. I don’t see anyone else making noise like me. Not on no hating s##t, I don’t even watch n*ggas. I don’t even watch when nobody mentions me anyway. If someone mentions me right now like “what the f##k you doing?”, I don’t see none of that.
Goonew: It just came to me. I was being myself, that’s it. Even before I was rapping, I had 10K followers. I was always a known person on Twitter. I used to be doing crazy stuff, like crazy. I used to be talking to people crazy. In 2014/2015, my tweets were crazy as hell. I used to tweet crazy, dumb s##t. I can’t really explain it.
AllHipHop: Best encounter you had with a fan?
Goonew: I actually love my fans, they don’t want me to sign a deal. I don’t really want to sign a deal. They mention me all the time, “I hope Goonew doesn’t sign a deal.” Not that it’s bad to sign a deal, people are really getting f##ked out of their deals. I know a couple people trying to get out of their deals right now. I know a person who got dropped from their label. That’s not me, I’ll stay independent and keep getting my money how I get it.
AllHipHop: Do you think you can be where you want to be independently?
Goonew: Yeah, you got to push yourself. You got to want that s##t. It got to be the right numbers and the right contract. Labels be making you try to do this, do that. I’m not that, I like to do my own thing. I know if I get a label somewhere, I’m probably going to be breaking their rules. I have to stay independent.
AllHipHop: I know you wanted to inspire people with this project, what songs mean the most to you & why?
Goonew: “Life Story” and “Saks 5th,” those are my favorite. Those are old songs, from 2015. I always do that though. Unless I drop a single, I be chillin’. I don’t like to drop when everybody else is dropping. I drop when nobody else is dropping so everyone can pay attention to my s##t, instead of everyone else’s. I drop out the cut.
AllHipHop: Was it supposed to drop way earlier during quarantine?
Goonew: It was, but me and Lil Dude dropped Homicide Boyz 2. We dropped that, then I dropped this. He’s about to drop a solo tape.
AllHipHop: You were featured on Lil Dude’s “Hoodrich” from 2017. What’s your guys’ relationship?
Goonew: It ain’t really too much. It ain’t no beef with him or nothing. N*ggas know, all you have to do is pay me. If you owe me money, pay a n*gga. It doesn’t have to be big. N*ggas saying they’re getting all this money, you owe me $50K that s##t ain’t nothing. I want my money, I’m not beefing about s##t. N*ggas can’t take nothing from me so I don’t really give a f##k.
AllHipHop: What does brotherhood and loyalty mean to you?
Goonew: It means a lot. Loyalty means a lot to me. If you’re loyal, you can stay around me forever. Get whatever from me. All you have to do is be loyal to me, you can get whatever you want. All my friends know that.
AllHipHop: Talk about your friendships with Yachty & G Herbo.
Goonew: Everything good with them. I talk to them, they be giving me good motivation. Tell me how to drop, tell me when to drop, tell me how to do certain s##t. I linked up with Herbo through his homies, his homies f##k with my music. They showed Herbo my songs, he was f##king with it. I linked up with him when he came out here, it was regular. I don’t be geeking to link up with n*ggas, unless they try to link up with me. If they’re not trying to link up, I’m not saying nothing to you.
AllHipHop: Your fans are asking about linking up with Xanman.
Goonew: I always link up with Xanman, he got his own thing going on right now. Everybody got their own thing going on, it’s time.
AllHipHop: You rap a lot about designer, how would you describe your drip?
Goonew: S##t, all I do is wear Chanel shoes, Balenciagas, Amiris, and a black or a white shirt. I don’t too much anymore. I don’t be spending my racks like that. All I do is buy Amiris and shoes all day, that’s it. I’m a regular n*gga.
AllHipHop: How do you create a vibe in the studio?
Goonew: All I need is my drink, a Percocet and some good weed. I’ma make a hundred songs. I don’t need too many n*ggas in the studio. I don’t need nobody in the studio. I be thinking everyone in the studio is distracting me, n*ggas be doing a lot of talking. Sometimes, I be doing s##t by myself. I go somewhere to record by myself.
AllHipHop: Goals at this point of your career?
Goonew: My goal is to get millions of dollars. That’s all I think about, getting millions of dollars off rap. You see everyone else doing it.
AllHipHop: Anything else you want to let the people know?
(AllHipHop News) Drake has reportedly set his sights on Stormzy’s ex-girlfriend, Maya Jama.
According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, the Canadian rapper first contacted model and presenter Maya on Instagram back in 2018, but she ignored it and didn’t follow him back because she was happily dating Stormzy.
However, following their split last August, Drake has apparently renewed his pursuit of Maya, by calling her a “sweet one” in his verse on British rapper Headie One’s “Only You Freestyle.”
But a source told The Sun that while Maya wasn’t interested in Drake back in 2018, she’s still not interested now.
“Drake definitely appeared to have a soft spot for Maya and late in 2018 he started following her on Instagram out of the blue,” an insider told the newspaper. “She totally ignored him and didn’t follow him back as she was with Stormzy.
“Drake’s got a real reputation as a ladies’ man, and although he’s a huge superstar, Maya wasn’t going to entertain any form of contact Even when she split with Stormzy it’s not something Maya wanted to pursue and she has left it.”
The report about Drake’s romantic inclinations comes after it was reported that he and Stormzy are in a feud, with reports the “God’s Plan” star “intended to cause a stir” with the “Only You Freestyle.”
(AllHipHop News) See y’all thought Ye’ was playing.
But recent actions have revealed that Kanye West is as serious about his presidential candidacy as he is about being iconic.
Last week, the “Through the Wire” rap star made news after hosting his very first presidential rally for the Birthday Party in South Carolina.
In what many considered a manic rant, he informed his adoring constituency that a) Harriet Tubman never freed slaves but shifted their servitude to other white men and b) that he and his family have been intimately involved around the conversation of abortion.
The next sensational gesture, symbolic as it gives a nod to his hometown, was to submit his official petition and 412 pages of signatures to be on the ballot for the election in Illinois.
In Illinois, he will run as an independent. An objection window closes on July 27 at 5 pm. From there, the signatures will go to the board to be certified at their Aug. 21 meeting.
The board will certify each signature submitted, hoping to push him through.
That is if he is well enough to run.
On Monday, Yeezy tweeted — and then deleted that he believed that his wife, Kim Kardashian was trying to have him committed or hospitalized. He said, “If I get locked up like Mandela, Ya’ll will know why.”
(AllHipHop News) When Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter Cahill issued a gag order around the George Floyd police-involved killing case in Minneapolis on July 9, media outlets lost their minds.
To Black America, the case to determine the fate of George Floyd’s murderers will be the trial of the century.
The order would have prohibited parties connected to either the defense or the prosecution from speaking publicly or to the press about the case.
Reporters would also be restricted from having access to the case records presented during the trial.
However yesterday, a judge ordered the gag order to be lifted,. Clearing the way for .
Judge Cahill ruled that the 4 cops accused of being involved in George Floyd’s murder – Derek Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Kiernan Lane and Tou Thao – have a right to respond to “pretrial statements to meet negative publicity.”
Judge Cahill was worried that too much publicity before the trial would spoil the jury pool, causing the possibility of bias against one side.
But finding a jury will be difficult anyway.
Since the murder of George Floyd two months ago, the world has erupted in civil unrest.
Week-long protests and demonstrations have reignited the Black Lives Matter movement with unprecedented zeal and support from people never concerned about racial injustice and police brutality.
His death, by kneeling from one former officer Derek Chauvin, has also connected generations and sparked a culture shift in national politics, corporate American, and local police departments.
George Floyd and the officers on trial have been polarized like no other figures in modern American History and everyone seems to have a thought on the circumstances surrounding his death.
Some outlets like CNN, CBS, and the New York Times believe that prohibiting them from publishing what they have learned is a violation of their constitutional right to free speech.
The ex-cops also siding with the media and believe that once the public see the evidence from their lawyers, a different narrative about the events leading up to George Floyd’s death will emerge.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Things just won’t let up. Meek Mill and Kim Kardashian seem to have an entanglement of their own and it is all playing out very publicly on Twitter. Thanks again, Kanye West! Kanye West is going through issues again and The Rapper has now stated that Meek Mill, the rapper from Philly, had entanglements with his wife Kim Kardashian under the guise of prison reform.
Now the tweets have been deleted but The Rapper went on a tirade that suggested that he has been attempting to divorce Kim. What does Kim Kardashian do? She sends out a letter asking for compassion for her husband. Check out what she said:
“As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar [sic] disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and
“Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”
“He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder. Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions.”

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Lil Baby got into a heated debate with Rolling Stone writer Charles Holmes, after the journalist told him, “Black people can’t be racist.”
The 25-year-old hitmaker, who topped the U.S. Billboard 200 with his second album My Turn earlier this year, was discussing police corruption and systemic racism when the pair locked horns over their differing views on racism.
While discussing his song “The Bigger Picture” which includes the line, Corrupted police been the problem where I’m from / But I’d be lying if I said it was all of them,” the writer pushed back to say that there cannot be “good police in a fundamentally flawed and racist system.”
“Just ’cause you work in a racist system doesn’t mean you racist,” Baby, real name Dominique Armani Jones, said. “Damn near every system that got a job is a racist system. You know what I mean?
“CEOs be like old white people. You never know, they got to be some kind of racist ’cause at some certain age, your parent, that was the way of life almost. So I almost feel like all these corporations or whatnot may be racist. And black people are racist too.”
“Black people can’t be racist,” the writer said in disagreement, prompting Baby to respond, “Why? Racist means to be just to your race.”
Charles explained: “Well, the thing about racism is you would have to have some type of power, and Black people, historically speaking, don’t have any power to be racist. We can be prejudiced.”
“To me, a racist is someone who treats a different race than theirs a different way than they would treat theirs,” the Drip Too Hard star asserted. “I feel like if you’re a black person and you treat all black people one way and all white people one way, you’re racist. I’m not a racist, so I give a white person a chance to talk and actually we get into it before I can say I don’t like you or not.”
He added: “I feel the same way about a black person. You ain’t gon’ be my buddy just ’cause you’re black. Just straight up.”
(AllHipHop News) Last month, T-Pain took to social media to tell a hilarious storytime featuring rap star Travis Scott.
Fans did not find his story as humorous as the OG did, and in turn, lashed out at the Astroworld phenom for they considered disrespect.
But was it really?
Scott has emerged to set the record straight. Apparently, he f#cks with T-Pain.
T-Pain told his Twitch followers, who in turn shared the feed to Twitter, that one day before the release of the multi-platinum record Astroworld, the two were in the studio and the Houston rapper fell asleep on him.
“I started going in about how I do production,” T-Pain explained. “The whole time I’m looking at my computer… Then I turned around. Everybody in the room (was) f##king asleep. Knocked the f##k out.”
“Travis is also somehow asleep standing up. Don’t know-how. Can’t f##king tell you. Don’t know what the f##k happened,” he shrugged. “Bro, I was only talking for like three or four minutes!”
Travis says he wasn’t sleeping. He was simply “BLASTED!!!!”
In an interview on Apple Media, he shared the story from his perspective, “I just want to lock in with him [T-Pain].”
He continued, “I was in the middle of Astroworld. And before I was like about to hand it in or something, I was like, yo, I just want to tap in T-Pain and just … see what we can cook up. So, I went to the stu[dio] … I think I was like playing some joints off Astroworld … Just letting him know where I was at. I think he started playing some joints. At the end of the day, I’m BLASTED. So like, man, I wasn’t asleep in his studio. I don’t know if you thought I was asleep. Bro, I was blasted. That’s the natural state, like know what I’m saying?”
He ended the comment letting his the “Buy You A Drink” rapper, “T-Pain, we f**k with you over here.”
(AllHipHop Rumors) The day of reckoning has come for Nick Cannon. The rapper has published a full interview with Rabbi Abraham Cooper on his Cannon Class. All of this comes out of the ashes of the incident where an interview with Professor Griff of Public Enemy fame went horribly wrong. In that interview, Nick Cannon made reference to white people as being “savage,” (isn’t every body a savage these days? Megan? 21? Beyonce?) and Black people being the real “Semites,” among other things. This interview here is supposed to be a reconciliation of sorts and a very big apology to the Jewish community.
But what is it really? I am not sure because I have yet to see the entire video but from what I have seen it looks like a way to undermine Minister Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Also, the holocaust’s horror is re-stated. Now that is what I have gotten from Cliff Notes. I am going to see for myself as to what it really is. But it does not seem like Nick was able to withstand forces against him.
What would’ve been more interesting to me, being honest, is a healthy dialogue between the rabbi and Minister Farrakhan. I believe that would’ve been more productive because these are the actual factions that are at war with each other. Nick Cannon is just an entertainer that got caught in the middle of something much bigger than he is. So check out the video and let me know what you think.
Through all of this, I am curious about the status of the Dr. Sebi documentary that Nick was supposed to be completing after the death of Nipsey Hussle. I suspect this documentary will not get made at this point because it is highly controversial. I do think Nick is doing the right thing for his own life and career. I also think this is probably a good step in the right direction because there’s a perception that Black people hate Jewish people and that simply is not true. But it seems like Nick is being bullied.
All this time most people are not mentioning that Professor Griff was also the other person in that interview. And Professor Griff definitely has had something to say since the very very beginning. No Professor Griff is a little more difficult to explain because he was accused of being an anti-Semite around 30 years ago. In fact, he was ousted from the group public enemy for being such. That is all water under the bridge and he is now cool with Chuck D and Flavor Flav again, Nick Cannon is just but the group was never quite the same.
