Pharrell’s Manager Wants Grammy President To Step Down

(AllHipHop News) A growing chorus of powerful women in the music industry are calling for the removal of the President of the Grammys.

The manager of rap star Pharrell Williams is among the women leading the charge, over comments Neil Portnow made on the red carpet of the 60th annual Grammy Awards last weekend.

During an interview with Variety, Neil Portnow was discussing women in the music industry, when he chose a terrible choice of words to deliver a message to women in the music business.

“It has to begin with women who have the creativity in their hearts and their souls, who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, who want to be producers, who want to be part of the industry on an executive level, to step up,” Neil Portnow told the magazine.The comments sparked an immediate backlash from a variety of well known female artists, including P!nk, Vanessa Carlton and India Arie.

Pharrell’s manager Caron Veazey is among the powerful women who have drafted a letter urging Portnow to step down immediately.

“We need a leader to think outside of the metaphorical box and start demanding all voices be heard,” reads the draft, which was obtained by NBC News.

Additionally, the women are calling for an overhaul of the Grammy process, after the most recent awards show.

Many fans were dismayed at the fact that only one woman, Alessia Cara, took home a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

Additionally, many fans were shocked that Jay-Z went 0 for 8, after releasing one of the year’s best, and most critically acclaimed albums, 4:44.

Neil Portnow issued an apology, saying he realized the “hurt” his “poor choice of words” caused.

“I also now realize that it’s about more than just my words. Because those words, while not reflective of my beliefs, echo the real experience of too many women. I’d like to help make that right,” Neil Portnow said.

However, his apology has not been enough to quell the backlash and there is currently a petition circulating which has 11,000 signatures in support of the 70-year-old President’s resignation.

Earlier this week, India.Arie pending open letter to Neil Portnow over his comments.

“Neil Portnow is mistaken. His statements are a mess, but I get why he can’t empathize with women and women of color. HE is saying, the more women there are, the more chances women have to WIN,” India.Arie said. “BUT. WE NEED MORE WOMEN, more WOMEN OF COLOR AND MORE INCLUSIVE MINDED PEOPLE in positions of power, in the rooms where decisions are made.

How 50 Cent Used Images, Def Jam And Automatic Guns To Stop Ja Rule

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qp2N7TY3Ew

(AllHipHop Rumors) 50 Cent’s album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ is one of the most impactful albums of all times. The album was so dope, that it shook up the game for many eras, period. Fif, Eminem and Dr. Dre were considered to be a “three-headed monster” and after selling diamond in the CD era, it is clear why we are still talking about that album.

The fuel to that album was a crazy beef between Ja Rule and 50 Cent. Ja (and Irv Gotti) had Murder Inc and 50 Cent had G-Unit. G-Unit effectively nullified his opposition at on all levels at that time. He was well-guarded and the music matched. BUT….Money Nels is talking now. And you know when the dudes by the dude talk, we get the real. What do you think about Money Nels revealing…he’s got a lot to say, especially about the funny stuff Fif used against Ja.

Take time to listen to the old classic, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.

Troy Ave Responds To Snitching Allegations

(AllHipHop Rumors) The brother has people talking. I will give Troy Ave that. Ol’ boy is testifying against Taxstone and basically is saying “me or you.” I am no thug but I know the rules: you don’t rat and you don’t talk. But, it is now 2018. Here is what Troy Ave is throwing on social media.

Exclusive: Ryan Henry Allegedly & Rumorly Shot Up Black Ink Chicago Se

(AllHipHop Rumors) This is a doozie of a rumor, but we are hearing that Ryan Henry, star of “Black Ink Chicago” may have shot up the set. I admit, I don’t know a lot about this super duper reality star, but I have gotten acclimated recently. He’s a bad boy and very popular, but you may already know this. I am not sure what the circumstances are but sources say that Ryan Henry went off and shoot up the set of “Black Ink Chicago”. I don’t think anybody was hurt, since there are no reports out there. So, if you report on this: TELL ‘EM WHERE YOU GOT IT FROM.

These Black Ink people seem to be cheating all over the place. Last year Ryan admitting to cheating and that he “f##ked up.” Anyway, I’m not messing with my G anymore. If he is willing to shoot up a set, he may be cool shooting a human.

Ryan is the man above the VH1 logo, by the way.

So-Called “DC Fans” Out To Destroy Black Panther

(AllHipHop Rumors) According to the Hollywood Reporter, a group of DC Fans are looking to destroy the “Black Panther,” but it seems like the so-called movement is already been stopped.

Calling themselves “Down with Disney’s Treatment of Franchises and its Fanboys,” the group is attempting to flood Rotten Tomatoes with poor audience scores for the superhero pic, which is tracking to open to $130 million-plus.
Rotten Tomatoes has denounced a Facebook group attempting to flood its site with poor audience scores for Disney and Marvel Studios’ upcoming superhero pic Black Panther.

The film, opening in theaters Feb. 16, is a bold move by Marvel and Disney in featuring a virtually all-black cast. The movie is generating keen interest, with one major tracking service predicting a $130 million-plus domestic debut. Other box-office observers believe that number could even climb to $150 million.

“We at Rotten Tomatoes are proud to have become a platform for passionate fans to debate and discuss entertainment and we take that responsibility seriously. While we respect our fans’ diverse opinions, we do not condone hate speech. Our team of security, network and social experts continue to closely monitor our platforms and any users who engage in such activities will be blocked from our site and their comments removed as quickly as possible,” the company said in a statement issued Thursday.

The Facebook group goes by the name “Down with Disney’s Treatment of Franchises and its Fanboys.” In recent days, the group created the event, “Give Black Panther a Rotten Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes,” that drew 3,700 participants. In December, the same group claimed it waged a campaign to flood Rotten Tomatoes with poor reviews of Disney and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The group makes unsubstantiated claims that Disney somehow manipulated the press into creating negative buzz for Warner Bros.’ DC movies, and says it is waging the Black Panther campaign in response.

Facebook has deactivated the group and basically regarded it as hate speech.

Too $hort’s Rape Accuser Files New Lawsuit Over Extortion Claims

(AllHipHop News) Too $hort may want to take a cue from the corporate world and refuse to make statements regarding ongoing lawsuits.

The rap legend has been hit with another lawsuit by Teana Louis, a former artist he worked with, who is also suing him over allegations he sexually assaulted her.

Teana Louis filed her original claim against Too $hort in a civil suit filed in January, insisting he assaulted her multiple times in hotel rooms throughout Los Angeles.

Teana Louis claims the rap star is using his fame to bully her, and attempting to silence the woman.

So now, in addition to the sexual assault lawsuit, the rapper lawyers will also have to fight a defamation of character lawsuit.

Cheikh Oumar Diagne, a spokesperson for the group, told pan-African magazine Jeune Afrique that he believed Rihanna was using the education conference as a cover to attend a secret meeting, saying,

“Rihanna does not hide it: she is part of the Illuminati, which is a branch of Freemasonry.”

Their conference is hosted by France’s President Emmanuel Macron and Senegal leader Macky Sall.

Ahead of the event, Rihanna tweeted world leaders asking them to commit to funding education in the world’s poorest nations, including British leader Theresa May and Australia’s Malcolm Turnbull.

By Ne’Richa

(AllHipHop Rumors) With the rumors swirling of an incoming baby, Drake is apparently pulling out all the stops and holding nothing back to prepare for “diaper duty”.

Construction plans are circulating the underground describing how Drake will have a nursery floor specially dedicated to the well-being of his new child.

Apparently Drizzy’s house required additional permits from the city as they were blowing out more walls and expanding the basement. This required them to have to submit more drawings.

Allegedly the drawings show a “nurses quarters” with a fully equipped nursery.

One floor upstairs has allegedly been marked “parents’ suite, with the middle floor being Drake’s.

It’s still undetermined if the baby mother will also be housed in the sanctuary, but it certainly would seem that with all the new room available….she would be at no disadvantages.

The rumor for a while has been that Drake allegedly fathered a child with p### star Sophie “Rosee Divine” Brussaux.

Drake has always been rumored to have a thing for strippers, p### stars, and Instagram models when he’s not dating your favorite A-listers, but let’s hope he’s still not a father yet, given this situation.

Suge Knight Invokes Donald Trump While Denying Conspiracy With Lawyers

(AllHipHop News) Rap mogul Suge Knight has denied being involved in a conspiracy to bribe witnesses, in relation to his upcoming murder trial.

Suge appeared in court just days after two members of his defense team were arrested and charged with accessory to murder after the fact.

“I’m not Donald Trump, but it’s fake news,” Suge Knight said during a hearing.

Thaddeus Culpepper and Suge’s other lawyer Matthew Fletcher were arrested by the LAPD, for allegedly attempting to bribe witnesses.

Matthew Fletcher is accused working with Suge to pay as much as $25,000 to bikers for phony testimony.

Thaddeus Culpepper is accused of trying to pay a man for favorable testimony for Suge Knight, but the man turned out to be an informant.

Fletcher was locked up on $1,000,000 bail and released, while Culpepper was back on the street the next day.

“What they were charging me with is impossible,” Thaddeus Culpepper said. “I’m charged with defending my client as to this murder and they’re charging me with accessory to murder after the fact based on a false confidential informant sham kind of program.”

Prosecutors have charged Suge Knight with murder and attempted murder after he ran down two men during an argument at a burger stand in Los Angeles in January of 2015.

Terry Carter was killed during the deadly encounter, while Cle “Bone” Sloan suffered serious injuries.

Suge will stand trial for the charges later this month.
