Chicago Mayor Wants Jussie Smollett Prosecuted

(AllHipHop News) Ain’t nobody messing with Jussie Smollett. Not the “Empire producers.” Not the Chicago police. And most certainly not the Windy City’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot.

Mayor Lightfoot believes Jussie, who famously played Jamal Lyons on the Fox hit show, “Empire,” should be held accountable for all of the outrages he caused during last year’s false report of an assault.

“He needs to face the charges.” Mayor Lightfoot said. “He committed a crime, and he needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and we are going to continue to aggressively make him accountable for the wasted police resources that went into investigating what turned out to be a total hoax.”

Though Jussie continues to maintain his innocence, he is accused of falsely claiming he was a victim of a racist and homophobic attack last year, in January.

Earlier this week, Jussie was arraigned on six new felonies charges in the case after the Cook County prosecutors dropped 16 disorderly conduct charges against the actor last year.

Jussie Smollett has already pleaded not guilty to the charges. 

Mike Tyson Debuts Weed Strain Honoring 1987 Victory Over Tony Tucker

(AllHipHop News) Mike Tyson is known for a few things.

He is known to knock a nukka out, the tiger tattoo and his voice.

The Brownsville boxer is also known for getting high. He even opened a resort targeting cannabis huff-puffers back in 2018.

Now, he is on a mission to tie all of his infamous-osity into one venture, and this new business will surely leave a one-two punch.

Iron Mike is going into selling that sticky-icky.

Partnering with Planet 13 Holdings, a leading vertically-integrated Nevada cannabis company, he and his Tyson Ranch will sell this strand of bud called Undisputed 87 at the Planet 13 Las Vegas SuperStore.

According to the press release, Undisputed 87’s name is inspired by Tyson’s 1987 fight with Tony Tucker and becoming the Undisputed Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the world unifying the WBA, WBC, and IBF Heavyweight championship belts.

“Undisputed87 is an ode to the legacy Mike left not only in Vegas but in the world of fighting,” said Tyson Ranch CEO, Rob Hickman. “We knew there was no better place to launch this brand than the cannabis SuperStore that is Planet 13. We are extremely excited about this exclusive partnership and bringing Mike back to Vegas.”

And what does our boy say?

“The Baddest Cannabis on The Planet is only available at Planet 13. Listen, you don’t want to miss this!” said Mike Tyson, the founder of Tyson Ranch.

And we guess you don’t.

Planet 13 is the world’s largest cannabis dispensary and entertainment SuperStore located just steps from the Las Vegas strip where Tyson had some of his biggest fights.

The Ranch Companies was founded by Mike Tyson and partner Rob Hickman. With a diversified portfolio, The Ranch Companies has built successful companies within hemp consumer packaged goods, cannabis packaging and branding, CBD processing, and in the world of entertainment. 

Tyler Perry Hires His Own Expert To Investigate Prison “Suicide” Of Nephew

(AllHipHop News) Tyler Perry has hired a medical examiner to conduct a second autopsy on his nephew’s body, after the 26-year-old allegedly committed suicide in prison on Tuesday night.

Officials at a prison facility near St. Helena Parish in Louisiana insist Gavin Porter hanged himself in his cell, after being placed in solitary confinement following a fight with another inmate over the weekend.

However, Porter’s mother, Perry’s sister, isn’t convinced he took his own life – with her doubts leading to the Union Parish Sheriff’s Office opening an investigation into the alleged suicide,

Perry is also using his clout by hiring Dr. Michael Baden to conduct a second autopsy on Porter’s body.

Explaining the move in a post on his Instagram page on Thursday night Perry wrote: “Three days ago, I got the horrible news that he allegedly committed suicide in prison. I say allegedly because, unfortunately, our criminal justice system and prisons have been notorious for cover ups and/or getting it wrong.

“With that in mind I have hired Dr. Michael Baden to do a second autopsy, and we are expecting the results soon. I want to be clear that we are not a family of conspiracy theorists, and we want to believe that there was no foul play, just as the sheriff has stated publicly.”

Tyler Perry added that he had hoped Porter would eventually turn his life around after being handed a 20-year prison sentence for shooting and killing his biological father in 2016.

“Despite this horrible act, before he went to prison I went to see him in the local jail,” Perry continued. “I assured him that we all still loved him, but it was important to all of us, including his mother, that he was punished for this horrific crime that he had committed. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

“It was my hope that after serving his time, really reflecting, showing much remorse, and asking God for forgiveness, that he would have been able to come work for me. Where he would join all the other former inmates that work for me and turn his life around, just as they have. But that day will never come.” 

Future Get Maury Poviched – Ordered To Take A DNA Test

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Future has been ordered to take a paternity test within the next month or possibly face reprimand from her court.

Just yesterday, AllHipHop.com reported that Atlanta rapper was trashing his newest baby mom and ducking child support payments to the child she claims the two conceived together.

But Future believes Eliza Reign is just on the hunt for money since she was bragging about the child being a “check baby.”

In a hearing on Tuesday, a judge did him like Maury Povich and ordered him to take a paternity test within the next month or possibly face reprimand from her court.

The judge also ordered the “Gucci Flip Flop” rapper to submit financial records including his income or else she and her court will sanction him.

You may be wondering why the judge is being so tough on Future. Here are some reasons.

According to Eliza Reign, Future has not taken care of the child ever. Instead, he goes on social media saying horrible things about her and the 9-month-old little girl.

The judge probably thinks that’s just spiteful. Forbes magazine reports that Future is worth over $20 million, so he has enough loot to step up and do the right thing.

Another reason the judge might be hard on Future is that Eliza Reign told her that she served him with papers three times, with the last time being over a month ago, yet he still won’t reply.

Just get the test, Mr. March Madness… if she a skeezer it will come out. And if she is not, shame on you for fronting on your child.

EXCLUSIVE: Songwriters Claim Lizzo Threatened Them Over “Truth Hurts”

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) Two brothers have filed a countersuit against Lizzo in a fight over her hit single “Truth Hurts.”

Lizzo sued Justin and Jeremiah Raisen, who claim they helped Lizzo during a recording session in April of 2017 which produced a demo song titled “Healthy.”

The song included the line “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100 percent that b##ch.”

Justin Raisen maintains that he and his brother were never properly credited for the song, which they say was eventually turned into the hit single “Truth Hurts.”

“The song was anything but Lizzo’s ‘solo performance,’ and Lizzo would never have collected her Grammy Award but for the songwriting and producing contributions of [the Raisens],” said the brothers’ lawyer.

Shortly after their recording sessions, the Raisens began reaching out to Lizzo’s managers, to see if their song would cut her soon-to-be released EP.

They were shocked to hear the final product when it was released as “Truth Hurts” and even more dismayed when they realized they deprived their writing credits.

During a phone call in March of 2019, Lizzo allegedly admitted that “Truth Hurts” would never have been made if it were not for their work on the original song “Healthy.”

But their talks hit a wall, when Lizzo supposedly warned the brothers not to pursue their lawsuit.

“Lizzo warned Justin to be wary of continuing to seek a percentage of ‘Truth Hurts,’ because, “you know…I’m not trying to have problems with you if you know what I’m saying…like I could be in a room with someone tomorrow that knows you…you know what I’m saying?”

The brothers are asking for writing credit and a cut of the earnings from “Truth Hurts.”

(AllHipHop News) Teenage actress Skai Jackson has been granted a restraining order against rapper Bhad Bhabie after she made threats against the “Jessie” star.

A judge has ordered Bhad Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, not to contact Skai – and she must stay at least 100 yards away from her.

In her request for a protection order, Skai revealed she was scared to leave her home since Bhad Bhabie threatened to fight her and allegedly kill her at the end of last year.

The two women fell out over rapper NBA YoungBoy, who Danielle is reportedly dating.

After the order was granted, Danielle took to Twitter to respond, writing: “You can try to hate me for responding to bulls##t with more bulls##t, but that’s just who I am and I don’t apologize for none of it.

“I been in this fake ass Hollywood world for 3 1/2 years now and I’ve done A LOT when the whole world said I couldn’t, but I refuse to become as fake as Hollywood is. Y’all can play around on your finstas, but I’ll always say what’s on my mind (because) that’s who I am. Go get your restraining order. Imma go get checks.” 

Megan Thee Stallion Planning To Open An Assisted Living Center

(AllHipHop News) Megan Thee Stallion is determined to honor her late grandmother by completing her healthcare management degree.

The rapper lost both her mother Holly, who also acted as her manager, and her grandmother last March, but overcame the trauma of their loss to release her “Fever” mixtape and her first hit, “Hot Girl Summer.”

Although she’s now a rising star and is on the cover of Rolling Stone’s March issue, she says her grandparent has made her determined to finish her course at Texas Southern University and open her own assisted living homes.

“My grandmother would be very p##sed off at me if I just stopped college right now,” she told the music magazine. “My mother would’ve been like, ‘It don’t matter.’ I got to get this degree. I already started it, and I’m interested in what I’m doing because I want to open up assisted-living facilities in the city.”

However, music stardom hasn’t gone down well with all her lecturers – one of whom took issue with her going on tour.

“I made an incomplete on one of my classes because this lady, the teacher, she was really hating on me because I told her that I was about to go on tour,” the musician, real name Megan Pete adds. “But we ain’t going to quit.”

The 25-year-old transferred to her current college from Houston’s Prairie View A&M University – where she got into trouble for making videos of herself and two pals twerking on campus.

Explaining how she was hauled into a meeting with officials, she adds: “They was like, ‘Is this what you guys want to be known for on campus? In my head, I was like, ‘Yeah, we lit! What you mean?'”

In exchange for their parents not being told about their videos, the trio was asked to write extra research papers. 

Rap Star LeCrae Dropping New Book On Losing Religion And Finding Faith

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) LeCrae makes you believe that Jesus really is the homie.

Not like the corny t-shirts, with the stringy-hair looking Michael-Angelo dude. But LeCrae introduces us to the Nazarene that flossed on the Sadduccees and Pharisees in the Gospels, making us believe that he could very well give Trump and his crew of GOP bible thumpers a run for their money.

And while music has been the most direct way that LeCrae has communicated to fans backdropped against dope beats, relatable visuals and his urban aesthetic, as a New York Times best-selling author, his books have done more work to give Christ to young Black and Brown people than any mission work your grandmother’s church could fund.

So, the recent announcement of his new book is super exciting for believers and searchers of inner-peace.

The two-time GRAMMY award-winning Hip-Hop artist, entrepreneur, speaker, thought leader, philanthropist, and author has signed a contract with Zondervan for his new book, “I Am Restored: How I Lost My Religion but Found My Faith.”

In his first book, the New York Times bestseller “Unashamed,” the Holy Hip-Hopper got personal and transparent about his story which included childhood abuse, drugs, alcoholism, a stint in rehab, abortion, growing up fatherless, and an unsuccessful suicide attempt.

In “I Am Restored,” LeCrae deals with healing and transformation; how age, wisdom and his growing faith in God has moved him forward as well as those around him.

“My forthcoming album, ‘Restoration’ chronicles the process of healing, and my book, ‘I Am Restored,’ is about the journey toward healing,” says Lecrae. “My prayer is that ‘I Am Restored’ will inspire readers to embrace the freedom and healing they need and to escape the despair, anxiety, doubt, and fear so many of us battle.”

While his book, “I Am Restored: How I Lost My Religion but Found My Faith” will be available in book stores and online this fall, October 13th, 2020, he drops his 9th studio album Restoration in Spring 2020.

(AllHipHop News) Nicki Minaj is urging bloggers to quit gossiping about her husband after he appeared to shove a singer away from the rap superstar while attending the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival festivities.

The “Barbie Dreams” hitmaker returned to her native Trinidad to ride a float earlier this week, when she donned an elaborate blue and purple feathered costume, which featured a jeweled corset, and left little to the imagination.

She was joined by her new husband, Kenneth Petty, for the street celebrations, but he didn’t appear to be in the party mood and was spotted pushing singer Iwer George’s arm away from Nicki Minaj in the middle of his performance, after attempting to get the hip-hop star involved in his set atop the float.

Video footage of the incident subsequently surfaced on social media, prompting fans to encourage Mr. Petty to “loosen up.”

Nicki Minaj responded to one of the comments online on Wednesday, admitting she had not properly prepared him for the laid back nature of the celebrations.

“He don’t understand anything about our culture,” she replied. “I apologize on his behalf. He’s always in security mode. All love. Love my country to death. Love my ppl (people) to death. Period…

“I should’ve told him it’s a very comfortable family atmosphere. He’s never been to a carnival in his life…”

However, Nicki Minaj returned to Instagram to make it clear she was tired of reading all the headlines about her man’s behavior while insisting Mr. Petty couldn’t care less about the media coverage.

Alongside a photo of the couple during the carnival, she wrote, “Rappers would kill for this attention chile (child). Lol at night when we go to bed I say ‘babe u was all over the blogs today.’ He be like ‘oh word?’

“he rlly don’t have social media to see y’all write think pieces about him chile…‼️”

And Nicki Minaj continued to bash bloggers for the negative press about Petty, who has a criminal history, on Twitter.

“My husband be all over the blogs & he don’t even know it,” she posted. “No social media to see y’all talk about him more than y’all talk bout these rappers dats out here doin the most for y’all attention…”

“Ppl get so mad when they see u happy. Just laugh & keep it pushin. Life is beautiful,” she concluded.

Nicki Minaj wed Petty, a registered sex offender who also previously served time for manslaughter, in October of 2019.

Blac Chyna Vows Kardashian’s Attempt To Meddle In Child Custody War With Rob

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Blac Chyna “suffered significant emotional distress” after her ex-fiance Rob Kardashian requested to change the pair’s custody arrangements of three-year-old daughter Dream because he deemed his former love an unfit parent.

The reality star filed papers in court on January 3rd, asking a judge to grant him primary custody of Dream. In the request, he made several claims about Chyna’s alleged partying lifestyle and drink and drug usage – which her lawyer dismissed as “absurd” at the time.

The judge denied Kardashian’s request, but details of the ex parte motion were revealed on Thursday as part of an ongoing civil litigation battle between the former couple.

The documents state that Chyna was “shocked to learn” about Kardashian’s emergency motion, which would “permanently change the Custody Order for Dream so that Chyna would only be permitted to see her daughter from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday with a ‘monitor’ present, rather than the 5 days a week she now sees and cares for precious Dream.”

While the motion was denied, Chyna was still “forced to expend time and resources to oppose Rob’s baseless motion.”

In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, Chyna’s lawyer Lynne Ciani said: “(Chyna has) suffered significant emotional distress as a result (of Rob’s motion). All along, Chyna has only wanted to peacefully co-parent precious Dream with her ex-fiance, Rob Kardashian. Chyna is an excellent mother who loves her son King Cairo and her daughter Dream Renee more than anything in this world.

“The current custody arrangement for Dream agreed to by Rob long ago is working perfectly fine. Dream gets to spend very special bonding time with her brother King and also time with her dad, who unquestionably loves his daughter very much.”

She concluded: “Chyna will not back down from Rob and his family’s attempt to take away her agreed-upon custody of Dream. She will continue to take all necessary steps to protect her children, including defeating Rob’s and his family’s latest attempt to undermine Chyna’s joy as a mother to Dream.”

(AllHipHop News) Entertainment icon Will Smith is originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but he has always shown love to Miami, Florida. A Top 20 single from 1998 was named after the city and the $800 million Bad Boys movie franchise was filmed in the metropolitan area.

Smith is once again shining a light on Miami with a new Bel-Air Athletics limited-edition collection. “Bel-Air Miami (Home/Away)” draws inspiration from 1980s/1990s Miami Dolphins and Miami Hurricanes uniforms.

“Miami just agrees with me spiritually, vibrationally and emotionally,” states Will Smith. “I just believe places have that for certain people and it’s an X-factor.”

The 24-piece, unisex line includes the Bengal Varsity Jacket, the Split-Time Hoodie, the VK Miami tees, the Bel-Air Bengal tee, and Bengal Socks. Miami Heat All-Star Bam Adebayo was named one of the ambassadors for “Bel-Air Miami (Home/Away).”

“From music to movies, Miami has always been Will’s second home and we wanted to showcase that special connection with this collection,” said Samyr Laine, the Brand General Manager for Bel-Air Athletics. “It was important for us to capture Miami’s distinct look and feel while merging it with our brand’s signature style.”

Meek Mill Unveils Limited-Release Royal Blue Colorway DreamChasers Hat

(AllHipHop News) In 2019, Grammy-nominated recording artist Robert “Meek Mill” Williams was announced as the new co-owner and creative director of the American sports apparel retailer Lids. The Philadelphia representative released a red colorway DreamChasers cap later that year.

Meek Mill is now back with a blue colorway version of the DreamChasers hat. The limited-release will be available at Lids stores in major markets and on lids.com beginning February 29.

“My fans have been asking for more LIDS colorways and options outside of snapbacks,” said the Championships album creator. “I’ve been listening to the feedback and I’m glad we can bring the Royal Blue hat line to the masses – both as a snapback and a fitted. We want to take the headwear game to the next level.” 

A percentage of the proceeds from the individual sale of each DreamChasers hat will be donated to the REFORM Alliance. Meek Mill is the co-founder of the criminal justice reform organization alongside Michael Rubin, Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Robert Kraft, Robert F. Smith, Clara Wu Tsai, Laura Arnold, Michael Novogratz, and Daniel S. Loeb.

Charlamagne Tha God Promotes Michael Bloomberg’s “Black Agenda” On CNN

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

(AllHipHop News) Charlamagne Tha God may not be an official surrogate for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but The Breakfast Club host sure sounds like one. He is clearly a supporter of Bloomberg’s economic justice plan for Black America.

On Thursday, Charlamagne stopped by CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront to discuss the current Democratic Primary race. The outspoken media personality talked about why he switched his focus from one ex-mayor to another.

“I do like [former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s] Douglass Plan. That has since changed. I like the Greenwood Initiative that Mayor Bloomberg is presenting as far as the Black agenda. But I still like the Douglass Plan though,” Charlamagne told Burnett.

Bloomberg has been facing significant backlash for repeatedly defending the stop-and-frisk police program in New York City which a U.S. federal court ruled violated the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights of African-Americans and Latinos. The multi-billionaire only apologized for backing stop-and-frisk right before announcing his presidential candidacy. 

“All the criticism is deserving. I give him criticism. When it comes to things like the stop-and-frisk policy, there are people that are still being affected by that today so you always have to hold them accountable,” said Charlamagne on CNN. “I’m voting for my interest in 2020, and my interests are Black people.”

He continued, “So when I look at the Greenwood Initiative – [Bloomberg] wants to create 100,000 new Black-owned businesses, he wants a million new Black homeowners, he wants to put $70 billion into the poorest and most disenfranchised neighborhoods in the country. I have to look at that as a Black man and say, ‘That would be good for our people.'”

The Bloomberg campaign is reportedly paying social media influencers to post positive content about the 78-year-old businessman online. There have also been allegations that Bloomberg used his vast wealth to fund down-ballot candidates as a way to secure endorsements from influential Black political leaders.

As a preemptive defense against accusations of being on the politician’s payroll, Charlamagne Tha God insisted, “I’m not one of the Black people that Mayor Bloomberg bought off by the way.”

Lil Uzi Vert Hints At Final Release Date For ‘Eternal Atake’ Album

(AllHipHop News) Fans of Lil Uzi Vert have been waiting for his sophomore studio album ever since Luv Is Rage 2 arrived in 2017. Nearly three years later, Uzi still has not dropped the follow-up.

During an Instagram Live broadcast last night, the Philadelphia native gave his followers hope that a new LP is coming soon. Uzi could be heard saying, “Eternal Atake. Two weeks.” That would put the project’s release date around Friday, March 13.

Lil Uzi Vert has been teasing Eternal Atake for years. He dropped cover art for the album back in 2018. That same year he told a concert crowd in his hometown that Eternal Atake was done before saying he “deleted everything” just a few weeks later.

In April 2019, Uzi dropped the singles “That’s a Rack” and “Sanguine Paradise.” Last December, he returned with “Futsal Shuffle 2020” which became his biggest hit since “XO Tour Llif3” in 2017.

When a Twitter user recently joked that Uzi should drop his album before Rihanna dropped her next album, the 25-year-old rapper/singer responded, “We on the same team if I drop she drop IF SHE DROP I DROP.”

Did Megan Thee Stallion Respond To Meek Mill’s Comments About Twerking?

(AllHipHop News) Since her arrival on the scene, Megan Thee Stallion has become just as well known for twerking on social media as she is for spitting rhymes. Some people love to see women share their ass-shaking skills online, but Meek Mill is apparently over watching twerk videos.

“Twerking is like a guy with big stacks of money hanging out his pocket so everybody can see lol. [I’m] tired of seeing all that sh*t lol. Y’all burnt twerking out ,” tweeted Meek on Thursday afternoon.

Six hours later Megan tweeted, “I hate a ‘pick me’ ass n#### sick of these fake woke ass men.” That statement was widely considered a response to Meek’s unsolicited opinion on twerking.

The “Big Ole Freak” rapstress also added, “I’m using ‘Pick me’ as when you just saying sh*t that you believe will get you a pat on the back/acceptance from other people.”

Is Gayle King Dodging Snoop Dogg In His Attempt To Apologize Again?

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) Snoop Dogg was supported by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Tyler Perry after lashing out at broadcaster Gayle King over a controversial Kobe Bryant interview question, although they wished he had tackled the issue “a little differently.”

The rap veteran put King on blast online for bringing up the late basketball icon’s rape case during an early February chat with Bryant’s friend and fellow athlete Lisa Leslie.

In a video posted on Instagram, Snoop slammed King as a “funky dog head b##ch” and appeared to threaten her, raging, “How dare you try to tarnish my motherf##king homeboy’s reputation…? Respect the family and back off, b##ch, before we come get you.”

His angry rant led to Oprah Winfrey’s best friend receiving a number of death threats, and Snoop, who faced a public backlash himself, later issued an apology for his tough-talking, insisting he was wrong for calling her out so viciously.

Snoop recently addressed the headline-grabbing incident during an appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith’s “Red Table Talk” series, which debuted on Wednesday, insisting he was only trying to “protect” Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, and her family.

He claims there were actually a lot of Bryant fans who shared his point of view: “You would think it was more people against me, there was more people with me.”

“It made me feel like I had too much power,” he said of how others began treating King after he spoke out. “And at that particular time, I was abusing it. That’s just what I felt, and I had to get it right.”

Snoop credits his mother, former church choir director Beverly Tate, with helping him realize the error of his ways.

“My mother raised me in church and she raised me to respect women,” the hip-hop star explained. “It was certain things she said to me that took me back to being a little kid. And when your mama can make you feel like a kid, that’s when you gotta get right…”

Snoop added, “She didn’t say I was wrong, she was just giving me, ‘You know I raised you better. You’re a representation of us. Every woman that has ever crossed your life, you’re a representation of that.’”

The rapper was also contacted by famous friends like Diddy and filmmaker Perry, who gave him their backing but encouraged him to rethink his choice of words.

“When this thing happened with Gayle I got calls from Tyler Perry, Puff Daddy (Diddy), (news commentator) Van Jones, powerful black men and they didn’t bash me,” Snoop said. “They was just like, ‘Brother we got your back if you need. But we think you should’ve said… it a little differently.’

“We got a real brotherhood going on behind the scenes.”

Snoop has yet to speak directly to King, but he has made various attempts to get in touch: “(I) reached out through her friends, her associates and I even DM’d (direct messaged) her (on social media), sending her a prayer, letting her know I apologize to her.”

Basketball icon Bryant was killed alongside his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others in a California helicopter crash in late January.

A public memorial for the Los Angeles Lakers legend and aspiring sports star Gianna was held at the team’s home venue, the Staples Center, on Monday.
