A post shared by @postmalone

“A platform is a terrible thing to waste, especially in times of heartache in our country and the entire world, and especially when someone has the ability to speak out,” Post wrote. “Over the past few months I have been trying to distance myself from social media for my mental health, and by doing this and letting others have more control over posts on my pages.

“That being said, I see frustrations over the blatant miss-use of my social media. Especially, when I have a voice to speak loudly, and so far have not. I would like to apologize for that. I watched the video, and when I saw it, my heart sank into my stomach. I am so appalled and so heartbroken. I cannot believe in this day violence like that is so commonplace and still happening.”

Post also supported the activists, who have taken to the streets this week to protest police brutality and racism, adding: “I stand with everyone taking a stand. I stand on the side of love. The officers involved must be held accountable for what they did. This can’t continue to go on. I pray that everyone taking risks and making they’re (sic) voices heard in powerful and impactful ways, stays safe, and knows that they are making a difference. Please take care of yourselves in this time. With love, Austin.

LL Cool J Posts #BlackLivesMatter Rap About George Floyd’s Murder, Racism, Looting & More

(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop artists have expressed their views on George Floyd being killed by a Minneapolis cop in various ways. Some artists are promoting #BlackLivesMatter on social media, some artists are joining the frontlines of the protests, and some artists are donating money to causes connected to racial justice.

In addition, there have been celebrities that faced significant negative reactions for their comments about Floyd getting murdered while in police custody. Opinions on “black-on-black” crime, respectability politics, and protecting corporate assets in response to police murdering an unarmed black man have been met with shame and scorn.

LL Cool J found himself in the Twittersphere’s crosshairs after a tweet he sent out on May 30. He expressed a curious thought about the ongoing anti-racism uprising as it relates to the children of mixed-race parents. The Hip Hop icon wrote, “Imagine how people raising [biracial] children feel right now!!!!!! This is crazy!!!!!!”

Veteran broadcast journalist Soledad O’Brien questioned the meaning of LL’s tweet. He replied to her by writing, “I’m curious how a [biracial] family discusses race at the dining room table.. is it complicated? Is it just about love? Does it depend on the [child’s] appearance? It’s got to be a tough thing…no?

After posting several more tweets addressing his biracial comment and the backlash, LL Cool J turned his focus back to law enforcement tactics taking place across the country during justice for George Floyd protests. He even posted a rap on Instagram with a caption that simply read, “#BlackLivesMatter ✊ .”

The verse included the 52-year-old emcee/actor speaking on racism, police brutality, income inequality, rioting, white supremacists, and white privilege. LL also mentioned several African-Americans that have died over the last 70 years at the hands of police officers or racist civilians. He referenced Emmett Till, Sandra Bland, Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin, Amadou Diallo, Breonna Taylor, Sean Bell, Eric Garner, Oscar Grant, and Tamir Rice.

Jay-Z Releases Statement On The Murder Of George Floyd & Prosecution Of His Killers

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has been viewed, by some, as a prominent figure in the fight against racial injustice in America because of his years-long efforts of bailing out Black Lives Matters protestors, funding families of African-Americans killed by police like Sean Bell in New York City, and other actions.

However, Jay has also been heavily criticized for his Roc Nation agency partnering with the National Football League to finance the Inspire Change initiative which focuses on education and economic advancement, police and community relations, and criminal justice reform. He was accused of selling out to an organization that blackballed Colin Kaepernick for protesting police brutality. 

Over the last week, the United States is once again dealing with another police killing of an unarmed African-American. 46-year-old George Floyd of Minneapolis died after arresting officer Derek Chauvin pinned his knee into Floyd’s neck for over 8 minutes as the prone man screamed he could not breathe. 

Two other officers, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas K. Lane, were seen holding Floyd down on the ground as his life appeared to leave his body. Another officer, Tou Thao, did not intervene to stop Chauvin or help Floyd. None of the officers performed CPR after Floyd was clearly unconscious at the scene.

Minnesota governor Tim Walz revealed he spoke to Jay-Z by phone about Floyd’s murder. The billionaire emcee apparently told the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party politician, “Justice needs to be served here.”

Jay-Z has now publicly responded to George Floyd’s death at the hands of now-charged Chauvin. On Sunday night, Roc Nation’s Twitter account released a statement from the legendary Hip Hop artist.

The statement reads:

After our very earnest conversation, thank you to Governor Walz for doing what’s right and calling in Attorney General Keith Ellison to take over the George Floyd case. Earlier today, Governor Walz mentioned having a human conversation with me – a dad and a black man in pain. YES, I am human, a father and a black man in pain and I am not the only one. Now I, along with an entire country in pain, call upon AG Ellison to do the right thing and prosecute all those responsible for the murder of George Floyd to the fullest extent of the law. This is just a first step. I am more determined to fight for justice than any fight my would-be oppressors may have. I prevail on every politician, prosecutor and officer in the country to have the courage to do what is right. Have the courage to look at us as humans, dads, brothers, sisters and mothers in pain and look at yourselves.

Additionally, the Jay-Z-associated REFORM Alliance addressed George Floyd’s murder and demanded justice in the matter. REFORM stated, in part, “We call for the immediate arrest of all the officers involved and for charges that reflect their roles in the murder of Mr. Floyd.”

In response to the murder of George Floyd, Beyoncé, Jay-Z’s wife, posted an Instagram video addressing the “racism going on in America” and the “senseless killing of human beings.” The award-winning singer also provided a link to various petitions that call for the officers that killed Floyd to be held accountable.

Kevin Hart On Looting & Rioting In Response To George Floyd’s Murder: For Every Action, There’s A Reaction

(AllHipHop News) Many celebrities have shared their thoughts on George Floyd, the African-American man that was killed on May 25 by white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Superstar comedian Kevin Hart spoke about the situation during a conversation with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Radio on Apple Music.

“It was conversations, you heard about it, but you never experienced it, you didn’t really know,” said Hart about racism in America. “You may have heard people say that they’ve had some incidents that were racial and where they saw blatant disrespect because of the color of their skin. But you’re like, ‘Damn, I’ve yet to really see it.'”

He continued, “Social media has enhanced it in a way to where it’s not only in our face, it’s at the point where it’s past disrespect, it’s past ignorance. It’s at a point of, ‘So what.’ They’re ‘so whating’ our culture now. [They’re saying,] ‘We’re going to do what we do and the response is, so what? The consequences don’t seem to be that severe so we’ll continue to f*cking put our feet on your neck. We’ll continue to shoot when shots don’t deserve to be fired. We’ll continue to stick, beat, grab, and manhandle your women. We’ll continue because there has yet to be a real, severe consequence.’”

Now-arrested former officer Chauvin was seen on video pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 minutes as the 46-year-old man was handcuffed and lying face down on the street. Chauvin and three other cops involved in the incident were fired from the police force. Only Chauvin is currently facing third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter charges for Floyd’s death.

For six consecutive days, people across the world have taken to the streets to demonstrate against police brutality and racism in the American judicial system. Some of the protests turned violent as stores were looted and burned and law enforcement officers sprayed rubber bullets at demonstrators and news reporters.

“That word ‘looting’ gets thrown out and ‘riot’ gets thrown out, but for every action, there’s a reaction. And there’s only a matter of time before those reactions can happen,” said Hart. “I think the only way, sometimes, to grab the attention of the masses is with the reaction. That’s not to say I condone it, because I don’t. But I condone having a voice and I condone an emotion that needs to be heard and get out.”

The Jumanji: The Next Level star went on to say he will work to help pass laws that protect young black men and women. He added, “When you look at [Martin Luther] King, when you look at Malcolm X, when you look at Nat Turner, when you go back into history, there are people that said, ‘F*ck it, I got an idea.’ They ran with that idea. So in this culture today we’ve got to come up with those individuals that have ideas that can give us a change and warrant the new way of living that we’re all looking for.” 

Lana Del Rey Bashed For Posting Looters During Black Lives Matter Protest

(AllHipHop News) Kehlani has taken aim at Lana Del Rey for posting footage of looters stealing from stores during the Black Lives Matter protests in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The “Summertime Sadness” singer was among the celebrities who took to the streets to join activists before the protests turned violent, documenting what she saw and posting footage on Instagram

https://twitter.com/samanthaswft/status/1267143946175606784

While many fans applauded her for taking civil rights matters seriously, Kehlani took offense at the content of the videos she was sharing, accusing Lana of risking the safety of those in the footage.

“It’s dangerous as f##k and a very poor choice of moments to post,” she tweeted on Sunday. “By all means protest, but DO NOT endanger people with your very massive platform.”

It appears Kehlani’s comments were taken to heart as Del Rey quickly deleted her initial footage of the looting.

Instead she posted scenes from the protests, including footage of a destroyed car.

Lana wasn’t the only pop star taking part in the protests in Los Angeles on Saturday – Halsey and Ariana Grande also shared images of themselves involved in the demonstrations.

Ariana and her friends enjoyed a peaceful rally on Saturday afternoon, while Halsey and her on-off boyfriend Yungblud were pelted with rubber bullets as police opened fire on activists.

Halsey took to social media to document the heavy-handed actions of riot police, claiming she had to help fellow protesters avoid injury.

(AllHipHop News) Back in 2010, Mississippi-raised emcee/producer Big K.R.I.T. dropped K.R.I.T. Wuz Here. The mixtape was met with acclaim from both consumers and music critics.

In celebration of the set’s 10-year anniversary, Big K.R.I.T. added K.R.I.T. Wuz Here to all streaming platforms. The re-released edition features four new tracks: “Talk To Them,” “Cold Game,” “Get Over,” and “Make Sense.”

“What a difference a day makes! So much has changed and so much has remained the same over the years. I’ve evolved as an artist and businessman, while keeping the same soul and integrity that I came in the door with,” states K.R.I.T. “I recorded this album in my Grandmama kitchen, and to know that it’s a fan favorite to this day hits different. I put everything I had into making this album.”

The 33-year-old entertainer, “I used ‘Wuz’ because this could have been the last project I put out if things didn’t take off. But here we are, 10 years later and 10 albums in. I guess you could say a day makes all the difference. I want to thank everybody that was a part of this project, all the people that supported this project, all the DJs that kept these records spinning, and all the bloggers that helped make me a household name. Thank you for taking a chance on this COUNTRY SH*T.”

K.R.I.T. Wuz Here includes contributions by Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, Smoke DZA, and Devin the Dude. A remix of the track “Country Sh*t” features fellow southern rappers Ludacris and Bun B. Besides spitting bars, Big K.R.I.T. also handled the production for the project.

Meek Mill & Michael Rubin’s Reform Alliance Calls For Arrest Of All Officers Involved In George Floyd’s Murder

(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop artist Meek Mill and Philadelphia 76ers partner Michael Rubin are part of a collective that makes up the REFORM Alliance. The organization’s mission is to rectify the American criminal justice system.

Over the last week, Major demonstrations broke out in numerous cities across the country in protest of the murder of 46-year-old African-American George Floyd by Caucasian police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis. REFORM Alliance has issued a statement about the case.

The REFORM Alliance’s statement reads:

Last week, the nation and the world watched in horror as Officer Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds, murdering him in broad daylight. Despite Mr. Floyd’s repeatedly saying that he could not breathe and begging for help, two other officers continued to hold him down while a third stood watch, assisting the killing. The video of his horrific murder sparked outrage, protest and a nationwide call for justice for Mr. Floyd. That call was ignored by Hennepin County prosecutor Mike Freeman, who delayed in making any arrests. Then he chose to arrest only Officer Chauvin — and charge him with third degree murder. Today, Governor Walz announced that he is referring the case of Mr. Floyd’s murder to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. This is a strong step in the right direction, which we welcome. But by no means has justice for Mr. Floyd been achieved. While preparations are being made for Mr. Floyd to be laid to rest, the three officers who assisted in his murder lay in their own beds at night as free men. This grave injustice must be addressed immediately, and our voices must be heard. We call for the immediate arrest of all the officers involved and for charges that reflect their roles in the murder of Mr. Floyd.

(AllHipHop Music) Originally from Goldsboro, NC Caso Banz, the vocalist formally known as Angel Moreno, is grinding in the Atlanta music scene. 

Thus far, he has worked with noteworthy artists Project Pat on the track “No Cap”, Colonel Loud, Kirk Frost, Kirko Bangz, and even gained new fans when he opened for Kevin Gates. 

His early fans referred to him as Picasso, because music is his art form and just like the legendary painter, Banz’ audience is moved by the feeling that his artwork provides. This can be attributed to his intricate creative process where he drinks hot tea, lemon, and honey to get in his zone and then records each track piece-by-piece until it is fully completed. 

He has a divine gift of not needing to pen his lyrics, as Caso Banz naturally creates and flows from being guided by his feelings and passions while laying down vocals. His tracks can be described as a hybrid of old school and new school R&B combined with his style and vocals for an exclusive twist that will get anyone singing and dancing along. This powerful combination allows the melodies and runs to be felt in listeners’ souls, while the choreography and visuals in his shows make attending a Caso Banz’ performance the experience of a lifetime.

While in middle school at 12-years-old, Angel started to sing Chris Brown songs to girls and had a passion for performing. When someone complimented how well his voice sounded, he decided to use the new laptop that his mom bought as a Christmas gift to refine his craft and he created relentlessly from there. 

After putting out his music and taking necessary steps to advance, preparation soon met opportunity and the rising star, Caso Banz, was born. 

He credits C Breezy for being the spark and motivation in his early career and aspires to work with him as well as Usher, Lloyd, J. Cole, and others in the future. 

Caso Banz makes sure to “get in where he fits in,” so that he is always aligned with all that is meant for him while he applies himself and works with others to “make magic” in the studio. 

As a proud father, his two daughters and his son are his motivation to stay persistent with practice and perseverance, especially while weathering the storms that the entertainment industry and life, in general, can bring. 

“I’m here as long as the people want me here and I definitely plan on being around for a while,” he exclaimed.

He looks forward to a long career in entertainment, and music is his pathway to a lifetime of stardom as he is also interested in pursuing TV and film in the future.

Rick Ross’ Alleged Baby Mama Demands COVID19 Test

(AllHipHop News) Rick Ross’ baby mama has made it very clear what is required of him. “Test negative, or no visit.”

Briana Singleton, who is the alleged mother of Ross’ two infant children, has called on the father of her two infant children, to get tested for COVID19.

Filing legal documents in Fayette County, Georgia, Singleton requested an “emergency hearing,” demanding Ross take a test, and for the results to be negative before he comes near the children.

Despite his stubbornness to even take a DNA test, Singleton hopes that he would at least consider the health of the children by taking the COVID-19 test.

Nearly six months since their break-up, Rick Ross has been less than active in his efforts to care for the children, claims Singleton, who is also pregnant with their third child.

Apparently, Ross hasn’t seen the two children since the split, at the beginning of the year.

But he has recently reached out to Singleton for a possible visit. Not the one to turn down the opportunity for the kids to see their father, Singleton has agreed but only under this one condition.

She is worried that Rick Ross has been irresponsible when it comes to quarantine responsibility after traveling.

In addition to his reckless behavior during a pandemic, she also shared her concern for his “constant use of marijuana.”

Looks like Ross needs to get his act together if he wants to be a part of his children’s lives.

(AllHipHop News) Yesterday, in Detroit, rapper, Eminem, offered up some words for his hometown in their fight against COVID19.

Making a surprise appearance during the city’s “Everybody vs. COVID19” virtual festival, Em urged fellow residents to stay diligent while also thanking them for their persistence thus far.

“Detroit isn’t just a city, it’s also a feeling. A hustle, a state of mind. But mostly, Detroit is a city where we fight for what we believe in. And we don’t take s##t just lying down. And COVID19 is no different.”

Em’s call to action in regards to COVID-19 was the perfect segue into his message about the census.

The veteran rapper urged residents to fill out their census this month to “bring the city together.”

His efforts have remained persistent after Detroit became one of the cities impacted the most by the pandemic in its early phase.

The recorded PSA aired over the weekend during Detroit’s Unity Festival, a two-day online event.

Many other Detroit artists joined Eminem for the event’s Saturday line-up, including Icewear Vezzo, Sam Austins, Rocky Badu, and La’Britney.

During the virtual event, Em also made sure to Tweet about the importance of unity in his City, sharing the link to the event’s live stream which can now be viewed in its entirety on YouTube.

(AllHipHop News) Cities and countries joined in solidarity, over the weekend, protesting the murder of George Floyd by racist cops.

In his hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina, rapper, J. Cole, was spotted in the crowd. Not looking for publicity or spotlight, the NC native turned down interviews with media, and photo ops because he didn’t want the attention to pivot from the real issue at hand.

Fans, of course, took to social media to share the sighting, noting J. Cole as being “one of the realest, most genuine artists.”

One Twitter user called on fans to “remember all the rappers who were out here donating and supporting when its time to buy albums.”

Needless to say, J. Cole has remained active, and consistent in his support for civil rights and social issues.

More social media users reminded others of the times Cole marched six years ago when Michael Brown and Eric Garner were murdered.

Or when he joined the Justice or Else rally in DC.

“We got dreams and we got the right to chase ’em. Look at the nation, that’s a crooked smile braces couldn’t even straighten. Seem like half the race is either on probation or in jail. Wonder why we inhale, cause we in hell already.”

EXCLUSIVE: Lawyer Dumping Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Old Friend Who Was Stabbed In Prison

By: Nolan Strong Updated Category: Exclusives
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) A former gang buddy of Tekashi 6ix9ine just suffered a major setback, caused by his own lawyer.

Roland “Ro Murda” Martin was one of the 12 defendants charged in a massive RICO case filed against Tekashi 6ix9ine and the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods in November of 2018.

Ro Murda was accused of terrorizing 6ix9ine’s rivals, committing a robbery in Times Square for the rapper, and taking part in a melee involving Casanova, which ended in a shooting inside the Barclays Center.

As he awaited sentencing Ro Murda decided to renounce the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, and he was stabbed multiple times in retaliation for leaving the gang.

During Ro Murda’s sentencing in October of 2019, Judge Engelmayer shaved two years off of his 7.5 year sentence, due to the violent assault.

In October of 2019, Ro Murda launched an appeal of his five year sentence by employing the services of a lawyer named Michael S. Schachter.

However AllHipHop has confirmed that Schachter is seeking to be released from his duty of representing Ro Murda.

Ro Murda’s own lawyer believes he has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the appeal, which Schachter has deemed as frivolous shot at freedom.

“The District Court’s sentence of 66 months’ imprisonment was 11

months lower than the low end of the stipulated and correctly calculated applicable Guidelines range of 77 to 96 months’ imprisonment, and was therefore reasonable,” Schachter explained.

Schachter believes Ro Murda’s sentence was more than fair, given his past criminal history.

“The Court considered the fact that participation in the racketeering conspiracy was [Ro Murda’s] eighth criminal conviction, that his criminal history spans from 1998 through 2019, that [Ro Murda’s] criminal record predates his involvement with Nine Trey, and that previous sentences of probation and incarceration had not deterred [Ro Murda] from engaging in additional criminal conduct,” Schachter revealed.

Meanwhile, Tekashi 6ix9ine, who decided to cooperate, received a reduced sentence and scored an early release from prison to resume his lucrative rap career.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CA062ncn4Lx

And of course he continues to gloat in his wealth and fame.

Earlier this week, Tekashi 6ix9ine posted a picture of himself surrounded by his high-end customized Lamborghinis and Ferraris, while clowning other rappers for having to rent their cars.

However despite the taunting, like Ro Murda, Tekashi 6ix9ine seems to be acutely aware of the real threat against his life.

While he gloated about his riches, Tekashi 6ix9ine adorned himself in a bulletproof vest.

Dr. Dre Applauds White People For Protesting George Floyd’s Death

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Super-producer Dr. Dre is known for creating one of the most famous anti-police songs in history.

The man behind “F##k Tha Police” with his groundbreaking group N.W.A. has broken his silence on the shocking death of George Floyd, which has caused protests and riots in major cities across America.

Dre spoke about George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin during an appearance on Lil Wayne’s Young Money radio over the weekend.

Like the majority of normal people around the world, Dr. Dre was sickened and heartbroken by Floyd’s inhumane death at the hands of Chauvin.

“It’s like, man, that situation, it hurt my heart. My heart is still aching. And it felt like that cop had his knee on all of our necks, meaning black men,” Dr. Dre told Lil Wayne. “And yeah, it’s extremely painful. It’s extremely painful because it keeps going on. It continues to go on and it’s like, ‘What can we do? Or what do we need to do to make this thing stop? What is supposed to happen to make this thing stop?’ It has to stop.”

Chauvin, who rested his knee on Floyd’s neck for almost 9 minutes before he eventually died, has been charged with third-degree murder and is currently being held on a $500,000 bail.

“They’re supposed to be convicted of first degree murder. And the… part is they’re so brazen with it, broad daylight, with cameras on,” Dr. Dre said increduously. “And he’s got his knee on this guy’s neck for that amount of time and he doesn’t give a f##k. His hand is in his pocket. He may as well have been whistling.”

Meanwhile, demonstrations and riots took place in Miami, Philadelphia, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Louisville, Los Angeles and Minneapolis last night (May 30).

According to Dr. Dre, Floyd’s brutal death can and should serve as the catalyst for change for the good in the United States’ ongoing issues between African-Americans and the police.

“It’s baffling, but it really feels like something is going to happen now, to at least put us in the area where we can start talking about a way to make this thing stop,” Dr. Dre told Lil Wayne. “I think this one could be the one because – Because I’m seeing white people out there protesting as well… which is a good thing. They should be. You said it right. Any decent human being should see that and go, “F### this.” Enough is enough.”

Update: Tekashi 6ix9ine’s video for “GOOBA” has been restored. 

(AllHipHop News) The video for Tekashi 6ix9ine’s gold-selling single “GOOBA” has been yanked from YouTube, after a copyright claim was lodged against the rap star.

A search for “GOOBA” turns up nothing but the lyric video, while the old link to the visual returns a message saying the video had been pulled over a copyright claim by an African producer named Magix Enga.

Kenyan producer Magix Enga, aka “Beat King” claims 6ix9ine sampled the beat to one of his beats. 

YouTube took the issue seriously enough to pull the video, which had raked up hundreds of millions of views, and became the epicenter of a chart battle between Tekashi 6ix9nie, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Billboard magazine.

(AllHipHop News) It looks like Faith Evans and Stevie J.’s whirlwind romance is about to come to an end.

Faith was busted a few days ago at the couple’s Los Angeles home, after an argument between the couple turned violent.

The cops were called to the warring pair’s house, and when they arrived Stevie J. had been visibly battered.

His wounds were serious enough for the cops to book Faith on a felony domestic violence charge.

The couple, who got married in July of 2018, have been rumored to be on the rocks since at least December of 2019

That’s when the pair unfollowed each other on social media, after Stevie J posted some cryptic messages to his Twitter account, leading many of his followers to believe his relationship with faith was on the rocks.

However, the questionable tweets by the “Creep Squad” member was quickly deleted and Stevie J. maintained his Twitter account had been hacked.

According to TMZ, Faith has since bonded out and neither she nor Stevie J. have commented on the quarrel as of presstime.
