Inside Pusha T’s New Restaurant In Washington, D.C.

(AllHipHop News) Rap star Pusha T is getting into the restaurant business with a brand new establishment in Washington, D.C.

The rapper’s new eatery Kitsuen will serve up delicious ramen noodle bowls along with craft cocktails.

King Push and his business partner Terrion Jones linked up with well known Washington D.C. nightlife impresarios “Wayne & Tony” to launch Kitsuen.

To make sure the business succeeds, the business team has been rounded out by local NBA stars Jerian and Jerami Grant, as well as entrepreneur Kyle Eubanks of Las Vegas.

Kitsuen – which means “smoke” in Japanese, will feature food created by head chef Munehiro Mori of Tokyo, Japan, who happens to be an expert in making traditional ramen.

In addition to the unique offerings of noodles, Kitsuen features an outdoor heated patio to keep guests comfortable outside if it gets too cold.

Pusha T and his partners Wayne & Tony will launch the event on December 31st, just in time to ring in the New Year.

Take a look at Kitsuen: 

Jim Jones: Who Are We To Tell This Generation Who They Make A Legend

(AllHipHop News) With the tragic deaths of XXXTentacion, Mac Miller, Nipsey Hussle, and Juice WRLD over the last two years, there have been conversations about each artist’s respective legacy. One rap veteran is now telling the 40+ crowd to fall back on denying legendary status to the late 2010s-era stars.

Jim Jones posted a note to his Instagram page that read, “[2Pac] died at 25 it wasn’t [the] old heads [that] made him a legend it was [the] generation [that] was following him.” The Dipset Capo followed that up with more thoughts in the caption.

“I was 1 of them [Pac] died in 1996 I was 19 so who are we to tell this generation who they make a legend,” wrote Jones on IG. “I see a lot of old heads gettin in [their] feelings lol this is not our generation it’s [theirs] remember tht lol.”

The comment was a response to an AllHipHop post that initially posed the idea. 15 or so minutes later, Jones made his post after commenting. See the post below. 

Cash Money West executive Wack 100 was very vocal about not viewing Nipsey Hussle as a legend following his murder in March. Wack’s comments caused other rappers such as T.I. and Meek Mill to defend the legendary prestige of the deceased Grammy-nominated emcee. Juice WRLD’s passing on December 8 also led to his supporters putting the “legend” stamp on the “Lucid Dreams” performer.

Megan Thee Stallion Responds To Trolls Saying “She Belongs To The Streets”

(AllHipHop News) Megan Thee Stallion knows how to keep her name in the headlines. Hot Girl Meg was back in the blogs this weekend after posting a video of herself with Wiz Khalifa.

The Instagram post showed the Fever mixtape creator hugging Wiz in a moving vehicle. She captioned the clip, “Taylor gang meg .”

Social media users then began pointing out that Thee Stallion has been romantically attached to Moneybagg Yo and rumored to have been in a relationship with Trey Songz over the last several months. Some commenters even hit her with the Future-generated “she belongs to the streets” meme.

Megan apparently had a problem with people implying that she was an “industry hoe.” The Houston-bred rap star tweeted, “Moving on is not ‘belonging to the streets’ y’all men and judgmental women gotta grow up lol.”

Maybe She Wants Peace! Is Iggy Azalea Trying To Hide Her Pregnancy?

Rappers Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti were expecting a baby together. Yay!

Azalea is allegedly six months pregnant with the “Magnolia” rapper’s child. 

However, on Sunday Azalea threw us for a loop when she posted a video on her Instagram story of her rehearsing with no baby bump. 

Sis made sure she let us see her stomach.

Many celebrities have hid their pregnancies for numerous reasons – their health, mentally and physically, public scrutiny, etc. 

The internet thinks she is all cap and Iggy posted an old video on the gram to cover-up her pregnancy. 

Playboi isn’t really active on social media so I don’t think we’ll be hearing anything from him anytime soon. 

I’m guessing next year we’ll be seeing pictures from the delivery room or a cute little picture of a baby’s foot with a caption saying something like, “welcome” with his or her name following.

What do y’all think? Is Iggy hiding her pregnancy from us?

Lil Baby Teases ‘My Turn’ Album & ‘Lamborghini Boys’ Mixtape

(AllHipHop News) Lil Baby scored another Top 20 hit with “Woah.” It appears the Atlanta rhymer is ready to build off the success of that single with two new projects.

“‘My Turn’ – album,” tweeted Lil Baby on December 15. He then added, “‘Lamborghini Boys’ – mixtape.” The 25-year-old Quality Control representative also told his 1.2 million followers to “Get Ready .” He returned to the social media platform to post, “No more mr nice guy .”

Over the last two years, Lil Baby has dropped the Harder Than Ever album as well as the Street Gossip mixtape. He also partnered with Gunna for Drip Harder. Plus, the Trap music star released the song “Toast Up” with Doritos’ “Spark The Beat” contest winners Ali Tomineek and Rashad “Shad On The Beat” Jackson in November. 

Baby spoke to AllHipHop about working with Tomineek and Johnson. He said, “We actually re-recorded the song. When I sent them the song, it was on another beat so we re-recorded the song on the new beat – my version and the new vocals.”

Chance The Rapper Cancels ‘The Big Tour’

(AllHipHop News) Back in September, Chance The Rapper pushed back the start date of “The Big Day Tour.” He said the delay was the result of him wanting to spend more time with his family.

That tour has now been officially canceled. The Big Day album creator took to Instagram to explain why he is no longer planning to put on shows across the country.

Chance posted on IG: 

Hey guys I’ve decided to cancel the Big Tour. I know it sucks and its been a lot of back and forth with reschedules and rerouting, but it’s for the best. I’m gonna take this time to be with family, make some new music and develop my best show to date. I’m deeply sorry to anyone with a ticket who has supported me this past decade by coming to a show and rocking out with me and I feel even worse for anyone who was planning on making this their first Chance concert. Thank you all for an amazing year, and a huge thanks to my team and family for being so strong through this whole year. I promise to come back much stronger and better in 2020 and hope to see some of you guys there. I truly love you and God bless.

NBA Youngboy Planning Move Out Of Baton Rouge To Take His Career To Another Level

(AllHipHop News) Rapper NBA Youngboy is finally off probation, and the first thing he wants to do is get out of Baton Rouge.

“Being in Baton Rouge isn’t conducive to him being able to grow and move forward,” his lawyer James Manasseh told The Advocate.

NBA Youngboy was rewarded for good behavior late last week when his probation was terminated early.

The rapper, born Kentrell Gaulden, was commended for being a model prisoner, as well as complying with the terms of his house arrest.

NBA Youngboy was locked up for three months in May, for violating the terms of his probation.

He was accused of talking “smack” on social media in the aftermath of a deadly shootout at Rolling Loud Miami in Florida, which killed a 43-year-old bystander.

Last week, NBA Youngboy’s brothers were arrested for their role in a deadly shooting in Baton Rouge which took the life of a 17-year-old named Javon Brown, who was shot and killed after he got off a school bus on December 2nd.

NBA Youngboy’s lawyer said the rapper has had enough of Baton Rouge and is planning to move out of the city as soon as he possibly can. 

Did YG Put The Thug In Him Aside To Win Kehlani Back?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Looks like YG is really trying to rekindle things with Kehlani after the “cheating” allegations.

Saturday night, Kehlani posted her bedroom filled with red rose petals and a big teddy bear laying across her bed. 

Kehlani never posted who did this big surprise for her, but the internet speculates the Compton rapper had something to do with this.

Last week, YG was going off on his Instagram story posting a sub to possibly Tory Lanez.

 Lanez posted a pic of him and Kehlani at the club causing everyone to wonder if they were a new item. Of course she had to shut those rumors down with a quick post saying, “because I keep seeing this. I’m addressing it. Absolutely not. We made a song for my album. I am single. And focused. Leave the rumors for poorly paid bloggers.”

Do you think this was YG’s doing and if so, is this a nice gesture?

Tekashi 69 To Get Out Of Jail In A Few Hours!?!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Tekashi 69 could be out in a few short hours if the rumors are true. But how true are the rumors? There is no doubt that Tekashi has gotten favor for giving up his homies instead of doing football numbers in jail. There is a new report that says ol’ Daniel Hernandez could be out by Wednesday, his court date. They have said that the DA and the judge or whatever have essentially recommended: “time served.”  Here is where the talk started

A post shared by Moe Gangat (@lawyerforworkers)

My sources are saying that this may be bogus. But, it may be true too. There seems to be some kind of assumption based on sentencing guidelines and “things of that nature.” So, right now, we are looking at rumors that may have some basis in fact. We will find out on Wednesday! We are all going to be glued to our phones! 

The more recent official reports say Tekkie may be doing some serious time regardless of the new rumor: 3 decades! 

The Blast is saying just the opposite of the present rumor:

One of the reasons in the filing, for such a long sentence, is the fact Tekashi was on probation for a sexual misconduct charge while still running with the Nine Trey Bloods. Tekashi was charged with racketeering for his connection to the gang. “The defendant’s mandatory minimum term of incarceration would be 37 years’ imprisonment,” the document states.

Prosecutors filed a legal letter in the case outlining the reasons for such a high sentence, “The defendant was assessed one criminal history point…due to his October 26, 2018 sentence of four years’ probation after having been convicted of “Use of a Child Less Than 17 Years of Age in a Sexual Performance,” a class C Felony,” the letter says.

The document says he didn’t “publicly” denounce the gang until November 16, 2018.

So they are saying he is still looking at 37 years. I am not sure what to believe! 

Future Trying To Reach Settlement With Women Claiming His Children

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper Future is trying his best to make Christmas special for hundreds of children, but he may have to start with paying for one of his own.

Two women claim they gave birth to his children earlier this year.

According to reports, Future is currently working low key to settle the paternity and child support case.

His legal team is currently attempting to negotiate an out of court deal on his behalf, instead of going to trial.

They hope to avoid having to detail his sex life and other personal revelations that are being public.

The “Real Sisters” rapper apparently has offered at least one of his baby mamas a lump sum and child support in exchange for signing a confidentiality agreement.

The woman, however, does not wish to be barred from speaking out about her relationship with him or the case itself.

Future’s lawyer has yet to respond to a request for comment.

The two women suing him are named Eliza Reign and Cindy Parker, and their legal cases against him at a virtual standstill thanks to the rapper’s powerful lawyers.

Eliza Reign sued Future back in August 2019, claiming that he’s the father of her baby girl, Reign, who was she gave birth to in April.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5830fNJ4uJ

In October, Parker sued Future for siring her son named Legend, prior to abandoning her.

Future is now allegedly in a relationship with Steve Harvey’s stepdaughter, Lori. He has yet to comment on the cases.

Scarface Election Results Are IN

(AllHipHop News) Rap legend Scarface lost hid bid to become the next member of Houston City Council.

Scarface lost his chance to rep District D in his home city to veteran Carolyn Evans-Shabazz, according to voting results from the Harris County Clerk.

Carolyn Evans-Shabazz scored 62.27% of the vote, while Scarface earned an impressive 37% of the votes.

Unfortunately, Scarface did not get enough votes to unseat Evans-Shabazz when locals went to the polls on Saturday (December 14th).

Even though the 49-year-old founder of The Geto Boys lost his first shot at representing over 200,000 members of the district, he will surely continue his journey to gain a seat on the City Council. 

Ja Rule Drops An Ode To Disastrous Fyre Festival

(AllHipHop News) Ja Rule will never live out his ties to the catastrophic Fyre Festival.

Most recently, AllHipHop broke the news that Ja Rule, born Jeffrey Atkins, was cleared in a $100 million lawsuit brought by upset Fyre Festival attendees.

Thank goodness because Ja and Fyre Fest chief marketing officer Grant Margolin has officially been dropped from the case, which continues on with the rest of the parties involved.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B59bjxbATiC

Now, the New York rapper makes light of the situation in the best way possible.

Piggybacking off the publicity he earned from the festival’s name being dragged, he shares a new song to his fans.

On IG TV, the titles are “FYRE,” an acronym standing for “For Your Real Entertainment.”

In his raps, Ja proceeds to drop multiple references to the characters and other facts about the doomed festival, over the instrumental of Doug E Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew’s song “The Show” from 1985.

Back in October, Ja revealed he has a new album in the works titled 12.Twelve.XII, which was supposed to be released on December 12th.

Obviously, that did not play out. In a new Instagram post, he writes in the caption: “New album release date LEAP YEAR.”

Is Cuban Doll Covering Up For Her Man’s Domestic Violence Claims?

Last year, Cuban Doll spoke out against her boyfriend, rapper Tadoe claiming he physically abused her. 

She showed a video of her bruised face on Instagram causing her to have to go to the hospital.

Rumors were circulating that Tadoe wasn’t fond of his girl being buddy buddy with now incarcerated rapper 6ix9ine which may be the reason for him putting his hands on her.

Just a few days ago, fans gave the side-eye to Cuban as she posted a boomerang on the gram of her and Tadoe kissing with a captain that reads, “5 years & counting.”

Of course it was eventually deleted.

The 21-year-old also got on live to reveal that the domestic violence allegations were all for publicity and her bae never put his hands on her. Yeah, I know right. Wtf!

Many aren’t buying her “PR stunt” cover-up at all saying she’s lying and doing this because she decided to take him back. 

Ladies, we’ve all been in a situation where we with a “ain’t sh*t dude” and we’ve been telling our friends that we will never go back with him, but we know it’s all cap. We eventually end up taking him and his bullsh*t back. Well, I think this is the case with Cuban. Don’t quote me!

What do y’all think? Do you think this was a publicity stunt or is she denying claims so she can live peacefully without public scrutiny with her man?

Is Megan Thee Stallion Dating Wiz Khalifa?

(AllHipHop Rumors) They sure look happy together, but are Wiz Khalifa and Megan Thee Stallion dating? I didn’t even know they knew each other, much less being cool enough to work out. Meg seems to be somebody that has a great spirit and gets along with everybody. She recently showed up at the hospital when French Montana was in ICU and then the rumors spawned from there. I didn’t jump on those rumors, because it seemed to be pure BS. The pair are on the gram working out and having a great time, but there there is another video…of her rubbing all on his face!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6GOma4lWwm

And here is the one of them working out…

All in all, Meg is getting what they call “a reputation.” Now she responded to the allegations that she’s dating Wiz…and others.

Floyd Mayweather Daughter Responds To NBA Youngboy Diss Track – “Leave Me Alone”

(AllHipHop News) NBA Youngboy has a lot to celebrate: a new child on the way and his freedom now that he is off probation.

But the Baton Rouge rapper seems to continue to have beef with his ex-baes.

Just days after he announced his baby mama gave him herpes, NBA Youngboy is going in on another ex-girlfriend, Floyd Mayweather’s daughter Iyanna Mayweather.

He named his song “Dirty Iyanna,” in a remix Michael Jackson’s classic hit “Dirty Diana.”

YoungBoy sings and raps: “I see she won’t leave me alone, She sliced the tires on my car,” while rhyming that he made the diss song to cope.

Iyanna Mayweather did not take this well, in a post on Instagram.

Sharing to her near one million followers, she wrote: “Now I see why people commit suicide because of the internet, the internet blows me. Y’all always trying to find a way to make some s##t negative. Leave me alone.”

Of course, YoungBoy’s remix ignited a ton of reactions on social media and the internet. View the NSFW video!
