(AllHipHop News) Post Malone and 21 Savage’s “Rockstar” controls the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the eighth straight week. In addition, another rap collaboration breaks into the Top 10 this week.

G-Eazy’s “No Limit” featuring Cardi B and A$AP Rocky rose to #8 on the latest list of the country’s most popular singles. This gives both rhymers the second Top 10 hit of their respective careers.

Previously, G-Eazy reached #7 in 2015 with the Bebe Rexha-assisted “Me, Myself & I.” Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” topped the Hot 100 for three weeks earlier this year.

“No Limit” is A$AP Rocky’s third Top 10 entry. The Harlem native also achieved the milestone from his guest appearances on 2 Chainz’s “F**kin Problems” (#8) in 2013 and Selena Gomez’s “Good for You” (#5) in 2015.

(AllHipHop News) SZA’s amazing year is still not over. Her Ctrl has been named the best album of 2017 by Time magazine.

Time stated about the New Jersey-bred singer-songwriter, “She may be one of a kind, but she’s speaking the truth of a whole generation.” SZA edged out her TDE comrade Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN for the top spot.

Kendrick recently earned his own “Best Of 2017” accolade when Rolling Stone selected DAMN for this year’s leading musical work. CTRL landed at #20 on that publication’s list.

Both Top Dawg Entertainment artists are up for multiple awards at the 2018 Grammy Awards. SZA received five nominations, including Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best New Artist.

(AllHipHop News) Over the last few months, Tyrese Gibson turned his personal Instagram page into a self-produced reality show. That time period included the Fast & Furious actor calling out Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, blasting his daughter’s mother Norma Gibson, falsely claiming to get $5 million from Jada Pinkett Smith, lying about his current wife being pregnant, and breaking down on social media.

Tyrese stopped by Ed Lover’s Boom Atlanta radio show to address those issues. According to the 38-year-old “Shame” singer, the antipsychotic medication Rexulti was to blame for some of his behavior online.

“When I announced that my wife was pregnant I was taking psych meds. The pysch meds I was on was because my team was like, ‘You’re so stressed, you seem so traumatized about everything that was going on [with your ex-wife], we need to get you something that could maybe stabilize you while you’re dealing with this sh-t,'” said Tyrese.

He later added, “When I discovered it was the Rexulti that was messing me up, I literally dumped everything in the toilet. Once I dumped it in the toilet, that’s when I cleaned everything up. Just like y’all at the crib, I’m now looking at all my posts on Instagram and Facebook… I’m looking at my posts like, ‘What the hell just happened?'”

(AllHipHop News) Twitter released its “Year In Music’ recap. Billboard posted the results of the social media platform’s look back at the most shared celebrities and tweets of 2017.

(AllHipHop News) Yesterday (December 4) was Jay-Z’s 48th birthday. The Hip Hop legend celebrated with his equally famous wife Beyonce at the Angelika Film Center & Cafe.

Surprisingly, the power couple stopped for paparazzi to pose for pictures in an elevator. The location had a sense of irony, considering the infamous 2014 elevator incident with Bey’s sister Solange.

Jay rapped about that violent moment following the Met Gala on his 4:44 album. On “Kill Jay-Z,” he says, “You egged Solange on. Knowing all along, all you had to say you was wrong.”

(AllHipHop News) R&B star R. Kelly is seeking to have a lawsuit holding him responsible for the breakdown of a Mississippi police officer’s marriage thrown out of court.

Sheriff’s deputy Kenny Bryant sued the I Believe I Can Fly hitmaker earlier this year, claiming the singer’s affair with his wife Asia Childress ruined the couple’s 2012 marriage and subsequently wrecked his life.

In legal papers, Bryant states he was aware of a prior relationship his wife allegedly had with Kelly, but he believes they rekindled their romance after Childress attended one of the musician’s concerts in October, 2012.

The event reportedly marked the start of their five-year extramarital affair, with Childress eventually asking Bryant for a divorce.

Mississippi is one of few states in which people are able to sue others for causing marital breakdowns, and Bryant demanded damages for Kelly’s apparent role in his ruined relationship, which led to the plaintiff suffering emotional and psychological issues, and financial loss.

Kelly has since responded to the legal action in court, denying all of Bryant’s allegations.

According to documents obtained by TheBlast.com, the star admits to knowing Childress, but insists they never slept together.

Instead, Kelly claims his investigators have uncovered evidence of Bryant’s infidelity during his marriage to Childress, with his actions reportedly resulting in the birth of a lovechild.

The singer also accuses Bryant of exploiting his resources as a law enforcement officer to harass Kelly, who is demanding the case be dismissed.

It’s not the only controversy Kelly has faced of late – he has vehemently denied claims suggesting he has manipulated several young women into coercive sexual relationships in recent years, after the parents of two of his alleged victims went public with their concerns in July.

(AllHipHop News) UGK Bun B paid tribute to his fallen group member and legendary Texas rapper, Pimp C.

Pimp C, born Chad Butler, was found unresponsive in his hotel room at the Mondrian, in Los Angeles on December 4th, 2007

Official medical reports said the 33-year-old rapper died from a lethal mixture of Promethazine and Codeine, and a medical condition known as sleep apnea.

“10 years. Wow. It still doesn’t seem real sometimes. I still catch myself saying ‘He is’ instead of ‘was’ when I talk about you,” Bun B. said. “The world has changed a lot since you left. Some things you’d approve of. Some s### wouldn’t fly at all. But one thing is for sure. You are still loved and missed. And your words still impact people daily. We will never forget your influence in our lives. Thank you for being my brother. God bless you and Mama Wes too. Oh yeah…it’s STILL #UGK4LIFE”

A number of other rappers took to social media to mark the anniversary of Pimp C’s passing.

(AllHipHop News) Fans of Philly rapper Meek Mill will be disappointed to know the rapper has been denied bail.

After a month of protest that began on November 6th, Judge Genece Brinkley has finally issued a ruling on the rapper’s fate.

Earlier today (December 4th) Judge Brinkley ordered for Meek to remain behind bars for a series of minor infractions he committed while he was on probation.

The rapper, who has been on probation since 2008 for a drug and gun charge, will languish behind bars for at least 2 to 4 years according to the 122-page ruling.

Judge Brinkley cited a number of issues with Meek, claiming he had tested positive for Percocet, was busted in a fight in St Louis Airport, and submitted false addresses on his paperwork

Judge Brinkley also said the world famous rapper was a “flight risk” because of the fake addresses.

“We are very disappointed with Judge Brinkley’s decision to deny Mr. Williams bail, which continues her long pattern of unfair treatment of him,” Meek’s lawyer Joe Tacopina told Philly.com.

“As stated on multiple occasions, he has never missed a previous court date in this case and poses absolutely no threat to the community, which makes him an ideal candidate for bail – a conclusion [prosecutors] did not oppose.”

(AllHipHop News) Rapper XXXtentacion posted details of his anti-rape event later this month.

XXXtentacion is facing up to life in prison for witness tampering and for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, while she was pregnant.

Over the past few months, XXXtentacion has been promising to host an anti-rape event, and he’s going to deliver on his plans.

According to XXXtentacion, his “A Helping Hand” anti-rape event is being held on December 7 from 6-9 PM in Miami, to help survivors of rape and domestic abuse.

“This is an event for woman and men to come and share their own stories in order to help others, to show they are not alone! and to ultimately put our heads together to completely eliminate rape in our country all together!,” XXXtentacion shared on Instagram.

“Please come share your stories! and speak to the youth to guide them through this traumatic period of their lives! also free music & free food! all states are welcome feel free to fly in to tell your story!” the “Look At Me” rapper continued.

Hopefully, the event will do just as much good for XXXtentacion, as it will for attendees.

XXXtentacion posted some disturbing, almost suicidal messages on Instagram last week, detailing his own experiences being abused, abandoned by his family and serving time in jail.

The overtures by XXXtentacion come as the rapper prepares to be tried for trying to persuade his ex not to testify, forging an affidavit and assault and battery against the woman.
