(AllHipHop News) Joe Budden can’t catch a break. In a week where Migos and Lil Yachty mocked the Everyday Struggle talking head with an upcoming parody music video, Budden has also caught the attention of Kevin Hart.
The comedian’s interview with The Breakfast Club aired this morning. Part of the discussion included Hart calling out Budden for statements the “retired” rapper made on another one of his shows.
“I don’t like the false reality. Like Joe Budden did a podcast on it,” said Hart referring to his revelation that he cheated on his wife. “Joe, you were on Love & Hip Hop with thirty different relationships scandals. I got nothing but love for you though, Joe. I’m gonna go ahead and let it pass because I’m different… I lose respect for the men that you know. N-gga, I know you and I know what you been through! How does this become your spectacle?”
The Philadelphia native did not specifically mention which comments bothered him. However, there is footage of Budden and his podcast co-hosts discussing whether Eniko Parrish would leave her husband after Hart’s adultery became public. They also debated the “rules” of having a “side chick.”
Additionally, Hart addressed fellow stand-up comic and friend Michael Blackson on The Breakfast Club. He apparently had a problem with Blackson’s jokes about his infidelity.
The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star stated, “Mike turned into the Instagram model that just shows her ass that’s looking for likes… If you don’t know me, I get it. I’m supposed to be your guy. But now you’re looking for likes because the conversation of Kevin Hart drives attention to you. So you put your relationship with me in jeopardy because you want to capitalize off a Kevin Hart cheating scandal? That becomes your bits?”

(AllHipHop News) Three women have accused Def Jam Records co-founder Russell Simmons of rape. Drew Dixon, Tina Baker, and Toni Sallie spoke to the New York Times about the accusations.
Dixon has not only come forward to name Simmons as an alleged sexual abuser, she also implicated former Epic Records CEO Antonio “L.A.” Reid. Dixon claims Reid sexually harassed her while she worked as an executive at Arista Records in the 2000s.
“It was a quid pro quo: ‘I have power, you want access, sleep with me — or I’m going to be really mean to you the next day. And there will be consequences,’” said Dixon about the harassment.
Earlier this year, Reid resigned from Epic Records after he faced accusations of “unlawful harassment of an employee.” Reid told the NYT, “I’m proud of my track record promoting, supporting and uplifting women at every company I’ve ever run. That notwithstanding, if I have ever said anything capable of being misinterpreted, I apologize unreservedly.”
Simmons stepped down from his businesses last month following other abuse allegations. The Los Angeles Times recently published an article where even more women accused Simmons of sexual misconduct going back decades.
“These horrific accusations have shocked me to my core, and all of my relations have been consensual,” said Simmons in a statement to Rolling Stone, “I am blessed to have shared extraordinary relationships, whether through work or love, with many great women; and I have enormous respect for the women’s movement worldwide and their struggle for respect, dignity, equality and power. I am devastated by any reason I may have given to anyone to say or think of me in the ways that are currently being described.”

Rapper Nelly’s rape case has been dropped.
Washington State prosecutors claim they can’t proceed due to the alleged victim’s refusal to co-operate, according to TMZ.
The 21-year-old woman, who claimed Nelly raped her on his tour bus in a car parking lot in October, initially told police she did not want to press charges
against Nelly.
The case was forwarded to the King County Prosecutor’s office in Washington for possible criminal charges last month after detectives at the Auburn
Police Department concluded their investigation into the alleged sexual assault.
Nelly was arrested days after the alleged incident and has been vocal in his defense.
The “Hot in Herre” hitmaker insisted he was “completely innocent” of charges of second degree rape, stating: “Let me say that I am beyond shocked that I have been targeted with this false allegation… I am confident that once the facts are looked at, it will be very clear that I am the victim of a false allegation.”
His lawyer Scott Rosenblum added, “Nelly is the victim of a completely fabricated allegation. Our initial investigation clearly establishes this allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident, once this scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated, there will be no charges.
“Nelly is prepared to address and pursue all legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation.”
(AllHipHop News) Kevin Hart has had “a tough year” following his infidelity and extortion scandals.
The “Ride Along” star was hit with allegations earlier this year that he had cheated on his then-pregnant wife Eniko, as well as claims that he cheated on his ex-wife Torrei with Eniko before they split up.
The scandals continued for Kevin over the summer when Montia Sabbag claimed they had an “intimate relationship” in Las Vegas in August and a “sexually provocative” video was made, with the comedian then becoming involved in an extortion scandal over its release.
He publicly apologized for his “bad behavior” to his wife, who has forgiven him, and they welcomed son Kenzo, their first child together, in November, and he has now insisted his mistakes are behind him.
When asked by “Extra” host Mario Lopez’s young daughter Gia what he wants for Christmas and whether he’s been naughty or nice, he replied, “That’s definitely a tough question for Kevin Hart right now. It was a tough year for me. I had some bumps in the road but the good thing is you take steps backwards to take great steps forwards so now, I recovered from some not nice times, now what I basically want is just for Santa to know that I’m doing good and I’m doing better – I’m a good guy.”
Kevin brought Eniko, who he married in 2016, along to the Los Angeles premiere of “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” on Monday, their first date night since the birth of Kenzo on November 21st.
He is also father to daughter Heaven, 12, and son Hendrix, 10, from his first marriage to Torrei.
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Kendrick Lamar is convinced he made contact with extraterrestrials in his youth.
The “Humble” hitmaker can’t shake the memory of seeing a strange alien from outer space standing before him when he was six years old, even though non-believers constantly tell him he must have been seeing things.
“Nobody believed me then and they don’t believe me now,” Lamar explained of his sighting during an interview on U.S. shock jock Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show. “It’s just something I can’t really describe, because it just sounds like, ‘OK, you just seen (sic) a dart go past. That s**t don’t make sense’.”
However, when pushed on whether he thought he was abducted by aliens, Kendrick admitted that the possibility haunts him often.
“I probably did,” he laughed. “That’s probably why I’m doing music right now. Who knows. They probably gave me the energy.”
Kendrick knows for sure legendary hip-hop producer Dr. Dre provided him with the energy and a platform to create his music at the outset of his career, but Lamar almost lost his opportunity for a big break when he hung up on one of the rap kingpin’s representatives during a meal at U.S. restaurant chain Chili’s.
“Me and my boy Ali, we was eating at Chili’s,” the 30-year-old told Stern. “I’ll never forget it. We was eating at Chili’s and we got a call like, ‘Yo, Dr. Dre likes your music’, and we was like, ‘Yo, who the f**k is this on the phone?’ Get outta here, man’. We hung up… We might have blown it. Another call came in from somebody else. Then another call came in from somebody else, like, ‘Yo, they trying to reach out and figure out who you with’.”
Kendrick’s first meeting with Dre was also out of this world: “The first time was the moment I knew I’ve arrived…,” he shared, “He plays a beat and (tells me to) write to it.”
(AllHipHop Rumors) Mr. Cheeks recently chatted with DJ Vlad about a number of things including his fondest career moment, Lost Boyz, East Coast Vs. West Coast Beef, and more.
Cheeks also touched on how the grind and the struggle was worth it and how it prepared him for success. He also shared that it made him be able to appreciate his success that much more.
When it came to the East Coast Vs. West Coast beef, Cheeks said that he didn’t know the beef was going to escalate to the level that it did, as he thought that it was just some lyrical beef that they had going on.
He also explained that he got a chance to meet Tupac, but he was actually close to Biggie as he used to sleep on BIG’s couch and do his street team promotion for Junior Mafia’s hit single “Get Money.”
Did you know that Cheeks and Big were that close? What’s your favorite Lost Boyz song?

(AllHipHop News) A man suspected of masterminding the recent burglaries at R. Kelly’s homes has turned himself in to police in Georgia.
Authorities issued a warrant for one of the singer’s associates, Alfonso Walker, last week after he was named as the brains behind the incidents, which targeted two of Kelly’s properties in the Atlanta area over America’s Thanksgiving holiday in late November, while the star was on tour.
Walker surrendered to cops at Johns Creek Police Department on Monday, and has since been booked on two counts of burglary, two charges of theft by taking, and a further two for theft by deception.
Sources previously told TMZ three men had been caught leaving one of the houses in a van, and told police detectives they had been hired by Walker, who wanted them to sell everything because Kelly was moving his operation to Chicago, Illinois.
Walker, who was just a part-time employee, was subsequently found in possession of some of Kelly’s furniture.
Other items stolen include music memorabilia and clothing.
Following Walker’s arrest, the “I Believe I Can Fly” hitmaker issued a statement via his representative, which reads: “Mr. Kelly thanks the Johns Creek Police Department for its swift and diligent work in arresting the responsible parties. He would also like to thank all of his fans around the world for their love and support, as well as the community for being very cooperative.”
