Cardi B Addresses Why She Claps Back At “Haters” On Social Media

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YiQ0-SBbT0

(AllHipHop News) Cardi B is just as well known for responding to slights on social media as she is for breaking Billboard chart records. Apparently, Belcalis will have more words for the haters on her debut album.

“I’m always gonna talk about them because I hate them. I hate y’all. I wish y’all catch something,” the Bronx-raised rapper told Beats 1 Radio when asked about the topics on her forthcoming project.

Some observers question Cardi’s tendency to respond to online detractors. She explained the reasoning for her digital clapbacks.

“A lot of these celebrities do search their name on Twitter. A lot of them do see their comments. All of them. They really do,” Cardi B stated. “I feel like they don’t respond because it’s like the ‘celebrity’ thing to do, like you’re too cool.”

She continued, “I’m not too f-cking cool to tell your motherf-cking ass something. How is your f-cking square ass gonna talk sh-t about me? If you know me, if you know my struggle… This is not easy. My career was not given to me.”

The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker went on to talk about the “crazy rumors” she hears about herself. Cardi also admitted mean comments about her looks are bothersome.

“Women don’t ever want to feel ugly,” said Cardi.

Taraji P. Henson Understands Stunt Risks After “Proud Mary” Shoot

(AllHipHop News) Actress Taraji P. Henson has a new understanding of how fatal accidents can occur while filming complicated stunts after pulling double duty on new movie “Proud Mary.”

The “Empire” star portrays the titular hitwoman in the action thriller, which she also executive produced, and the long hours on set made her realize the importance of safety procedures when shooting daring sequences towards the end of the day.

“I don’t think people really realize how much work goes into an action film,” Taraji explained on U.S. breakfast show Good Morning America. “It’s so physical, and we often hear tales of people dying, and I’ll tell you why: because you’re in the 13th hour, you’ve been working all day, and you get to the end of the day and you still have this hugely dangerous stunt to pull off, and people are tired! And sometimes if fatigue sets in or you miscount a step, it can go really bad.”

Her comments come months after two stuntworkers were killed last summer – John Bernecker died from his injuries following a balcony fall on the set of “The Walking Dead” in Atlanta, Georgia in July, and Joi Harris lost her life in a motorcycle crash on the set of the “Deadpool” sequel in Vancouver, Canada just weeks later.

Meanwhile, Taraji has blamed her own exhaustion for suffering a minor mishap on the set of “Proud Mary” back in May, when she crashed a Maserati sports car into a fire hydrant while filming in Massachusetts.

Reports at the time suggested the collision had caused $12,000 worth of damage to the pricey vehicle, and the actress, who was not hurt in the incident, admits the cost was the first thing that came to her mind when the accident happened.

She recalled, “Man, let me tell you – if I was just the actress, I would’ve been like, ‘Oh, was that me?’ (But as an executive producer), I was just like, ‘How much is this gonna cost us?’ I benched myself! I was like (scolding myself), ‘Go to your trailer!'”

Despite the motor mistake, Taraji insisted she had so much fun fronting the new movie, likening her tough character to the female protagonist in the “Tomb Raider” video game and film franchise.

“I just felt like a black Lara Croft, that’s what I kept saying!” she smiled. “I had the ponytail and the combat boots, it was that (part) when she really goes to war, she has… a navy blue motorcycle jacket and these motorcycle pants, and I just felt like, ‘Dang, I could really hurt someone just with my outfit!'”

Chuck D Loses Home In California Wildfires

(AllHipHop News) Legendary hip-hop star Chuck D has reportedly lost his home during the devastating wildfires in California.

The Public Enemy star’s predicament has been brought to light by documents in which his old bandmate Flavor Flav is attempting to sue him over royalties.

Flav, real name William Jonathan Drayton Jr. has been trying to serve Chuck, real name Carlton Douglas Ridenhour, with a lawsuit, but according to the papers, when officials turned up the rapper’s home last month, they learned it had been torched by the Thomas Fire – the largest blaze in California history.

Although the fire, which has destroyed more than 1,000 buildings, is still burning, Los Angeles Fire Department officials say it is now 90 per cent under control.

Flav reportedly wants to battle Chuck in court because his old bandmate is playing old Public Enemy songs on tour with his new supergroup Prophets of Rage – formed with members of metal group Rage Against The Machine.

According to the lawsuit, Flavor Flav is now seeking alternative means to serve Chuck with the lawsuit.

Nas And Kelis Reach Custody Agreement

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Nas and his ex-wife singer Kelis have come to a custody agreement after a lengthy battle over the care of their eight-year-old son Knight.

The two have divided up visitation rights and now Nas is able to spend time with Knight on weekends, according to documents.

The former couple has also agreed to avoid exploiting the child on social media.

In November, the “One Mic” star, full name Nasir Jones, filed court papers claiming Kelis was only allowing him visitation with Knight “when she deems it convenient for her,” even though he had done his best to co-operate with his ex-following their separation in April 2009, when she was seven months pregnant.

The rap star asked for an official custody schedule to be put in place, and suggested Knight spends the first, third, and fifth weekend of every month with him.

Last December, Kelis filed a request for a court hearing.

Nas and Kelis, who wed in 2005, finalized their divorce in 2010.

The rapper is also dad to 23-year-old daughter Destiny from his relationship with ex-girlfriend Carmen Bryan, while Kelis welcomed another son in 2015.

She has never publicly revealed the identity of the boy’s father.

Nas dated Nicki Minaj for seven months before the pair split last week.

Jimmy Iovine Shoots Down Reports He’s Leaving Apple Music

(AllHipHop News) Music mogul Jimmy Iovine is denying reports he is leaving Apple music.

Earlier in the week, news broke that Jimmy would be leaving the company around August, after his stock options vest later this year.

The Interscope Records founder, who has been with the company since 2014, has responded to the claims during an interview at the Grammy Museum earlier this week during a screening of the HBO series “The Defiant Ones.”

“All this stuff you’re seeing in the newspapers, let me tell you, my stock vested a long time ago. We need Donald Trump here to call it ‘fake news’,” Jimmy Iovine told the crowd.

Although Iovine claims he isn’t leaving Apple anytime soon, the mogul, who turns 65 in March, admitted he would probably be out of the business within the next 10 years.

“I don’t see myself at 75-years-old running around doing music. Eventually, I’ll be slowing down. But right now, I’m committed to getting streaming right,” Jimmy Iovine said.

Jimmy Iovine took over Apple Music four years ago, after he sold Beats to the company with Dr. Dre, for over $2 billion dollars.

Can Quavo Resurrect Iggy Azalea’s Career?

By Ne’ Richa

(AllHipHop Rumors) No sooner than the Aussie rapper made a few bold statements about Cardi B’s recent Billboard accomplishment, it appears that she now has a few tricks up her sleeve in order to get back to the “top”.

Recently, at a presentation for Monster Electronics, Iggy Azalea announced that she will have a new song which will feature Migos frontman, Quavo.

Monster recently signed on Iggy for endorsement, which has been rumored to rub MANY people the wrong way.

Allegedly, Cardi was also pushed for the same position, along with another black woman, but only Iggy was signed on.

One would wonder why Cardi, who is clearly the bigger star, would be passed over for such an opportunity.

Inside sources claim that the company allegedly felt like Cardi didn’t fit the brand, but apparently Iggy’s “Murder Game” did.

But, nevertheless, maybe Iggy can finally gain some traction with a Quavo feature. Look for her song to possibly be apart of a Super Bowl commercial for Monster.

Do you think Quavo & Monster can save and boost her career?
