Blac Chyna Says She Will Never Go Back To Rob Kardashian

(AllHipHop News) Blac Chyna has insisted there’s “no turning back” when it comes to her romance with Rob Kardashian.

The former couple caused controversy when they started dating, given Chyna’s relationship with ex Tyga, who was at the time dating Rob’s half-sister Kylie Jenner.

And after more than a year of on-off dating, the pair finally called time on their romance last November, but hit headlines once again earlier this month, when Rob shared explicit pictures of Chyna online in a bid to seek revenge after she sent him a video of herself in bed with another man.

Chyna is currently exploring her legal options with regards to Rob’s revenge p### attack, after being granted a restraining order against her ex, and while Rob and Chyna have worked through their issues in the past, particularly for the sake of their baby girl, the model insists this time their split is for good.

“(There’s) no turning back,” she insisted to People magazine of her relationship with Rob. “I’m glad I’m relieved of (Rob), but damn, why did I have to get relief in this way?”

However, Chyna is doing her best to stay positive in the wake of the scandal.

And she feels she has grown as a person through her dealings with Rob.

“I feel like God does certain things – not to hurt you, but to show you your true strength,” she mused. “I feel like, if I can come out of this, I can come out of anything.”

She is now hoping her story will help inspire others, and is focusing on making herself and her children, including four-year-old son King Cairo, happy.

“I’m not going to take something that happened to me in the past into my future,” the 29-year-old vowed. “First and foremost, I’m going to make myself happy because once I’m happy, then Dream can be happy and then King can be happy and then everybody else around me can be happy.”

Travis Scott Calls Out Fans For Using Phones During Show

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Travis Scott halted a recent gig on Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. tour to slam a VIP concertgoer for using their cell phones during his opening performance.

The “Goosebumps” star was in the middle of his set, during which he stands on top of a large bird structure and ‘flies’ over the audience, when he took issue with one guy in the VIP section failing to pay attention to his show.

In video footage posted on social media, Travis can be seen calling out the man in question, shouting, “Ayo, all y’all n#%gas that’s with me that’s behind the gate that’s on y’all phones, y’all n##gas can take y’all a## home or y’all can go back there and watch the show bro…

“Don’t get no VIP motherf##king show texting on your phone like this s##t wack or something. Get your motherf##king a## out of here (sic).”

It’s not clear if the attendee was actually escorted out of the undisclosed venue, but Travis’ rant earned him cheers from other members of the audience as he pressed on with his show.

The DAMN. Tour, which made recent stops in Travis’ native Houston, Texas on Saturday and Duluth, Georgia on Monday, runs until September.

Snoop Dogg Launches A New Line Of Premium Bongs

(AllHipHop News) Hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg is expanding his marijuana empire by launching his own range of premium smoking bongs.

The “Gin and Juice” hitmaker, a self-confessed pot aficionado, has teamed up with officials at Famous Brandz to unveil Pounds Smoking Accessories, a new line of handblown products with each of the five water pipes named after his recording studios: Battleship, Mothership, Rocketship, Spaceship, and Starship.

“Pounds is my way of offering and sharing a premium smoking experience for any consumers,” Snoop shared in a statement. “Whether you’re into flower or oil, Pounds has the product for you.”

The Pounds line, which ranges in price from $129 to $279 , is the latest drug-related venture for Snoop.

He unveiled his Leafs by Snoop marijuana line in 2015 in Colorado, where recreational weed is legal, while he also launched a media company dedicated to marijuana projects, titled MerryJane.com.

Jada Pinkett Smith Used To Sell Drugs Before She Was Famous

(AllHipHop News) Actress Jada Pinkett Smith was a drug dealer when she first met late rapper Tupac Shakur.

The “Matrix Reloaded” star has always maintained she befriended the “Changes” hitmaker when they attended Baltimore’s School of Arts in Maryland together, but now she has opened up about the real story behind their relationship.

Will Smith’s wife came clean about her early hustle during a U.S. radio interview with DJ Sway Calloway, revealing she is planning to tell all in a future memoir.

Asked about how she and Shakur first became acquainted, Jada said, “It’s kinda hard because I haven’t really told the whole story. One of things that’s very interesting, that I’ve never really said before, is that when I first met ‘Pac, I was a drug dealer…”

The mother-of-two declined to share specifics about her first gig, but teased a big turn of events which shocked her into living on the right side of the law.

“I won’t get into the details of it, because I’mma (sic) write a book about it,” she explained. “Just to give you like, (an idea), that’s how we started, then something really bad happened to me (and) as I was coming out of the life (of a drug dealer), he was going more into the life.”

Jada’s confession emerges a month after she took aim at filmmakers behind the recent Tupac biopic “All Eyez on Me,” insisting the way they depicted her close friendship with the late hip-hop star was full of inaccuracies.

In a series of Twitter posts sent on the day of the movie’s release on June 16 – what would have been the rapper’s 46th birthday – she wrote: “Forgive me… my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth.”

She claims suggestions, in the film, she attended Pac’s shows by his request and once had an argument with him backstage are not true.

She wrapped up her rant by admitting the “reimagining of my relationship to Pac” has been “deeply hurtful.”

Activists Launch Petition To Get R. Kelly Dropped From Sony

(AllHipHop News) A new online petition has been set up by activists hoping to persuade Sony Music bosses to drop R. Kelly following allegations suggesting the singer is running a sex cult.

Reports, triggered by a parent’s concerns about his estranged daughter, suggest the “I Believe I Can Fly” star is holding women between the ages of 18 and 26 captive in two of his properties in Chicago, Illinois and Atlanta, Georgia.

Kelly’s legal team has slammed the allegations, insisting the soul star “unequivocally denies” them, but his critics have called for Sony bosses to release him from his contract as yet another sex scandal looms.

“We must not let habitual abusers float above justice simply because they are rich and famous,” a message accompanying the Care2 petition reads. “Let’s work together to turn R. Kelly into a symbol for victim’s rights, reminding abusers everywhere that no one is untouchable.”

The singer was previously acquitted of 21 counts of child pornography in 2008, six years after video footage emerged appearing to show the singer urinating on an underaged girl.

He was also previously accused of illegally marrying tragic R&B beauty Aaliyah, when she was just 15.

After the latest allegations hit the headlines on Monday, Kelly’s lawyer, Linda Mensch, said, “Mr. Robert Kelly is both alarmed and disturbed by the recent revelations attributed to him… He will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his accusers and clear his name.”

Earlier this week, one of Kelly’s alleged captives insisted she was “in a happy place in my life, and I’m not being brainwashed or anything like that” during an interview with TMZ.

“I just want everybody to know, my parents and everybody in the world, that I am totally fine. I’m happy where I’m at, and everything is OK with me,” Jocelyn Savage, 21, added. Her father was the man who launched the sex cult allegations.

The latest sex scandal hasn’t had any impact on Kelly’s career – all 14 of his upcoming shows are still scheduled and there’s a huge demand for tickets.

Some venue bosses tell TMZ they have received angry calls from locals, but sales for tickets are brisk and there have been no cancellations.

At press time, the Care2 petition has reached almost 10,000 signatures.

The Game Sends More Shots At 40 Glocc Following Prostitution Sting Arrest

(AllHipHop Rumors) One would think 40 Glocc would be sitting down somewhere recovering after surviving multiple gunshot wounds, but nope, he’s getting caught up in prostitution stings.

To no one’s surprise, Glocc’s enemy, The Game, wasted no time taking more shots at him.

Glocc was one of 4 people arrested in connection to a prostitution sting in Minnesota.

When Glocc noticed the woman was busted, he took off and attempted to destroy several cell phones. He was later caught by police.

The Game learned of the incident and commented under a post of the article saying,

“N-ggas selling they p-ssy now. I’m dead.”

Gots to be more careful! Do better Glocc! You have to love Game’s sense of humor at times!

Peep Which Famous “Becky With The Good Hair” Praises Jay-Z’s ‘4:44’ Album

(AllHipHop Rumors) You would like to think that Monica Lewinsky would be one to stay out of the spotlight, then again some folks just own up to their scandalous ways and move on.

Lewinsky is certainly one of the most famous homewreckers to date, and the presidential “Becky with the good hair” has recently wrote an essay for Vanity Fair praising Jay-Z’s ‘4:44’ album

The essay entitled, ‘Jay-Z, Prince Harry, Brad Pitt, and the New Frontiers of Male Vulnerability’, explores various masculine stereotypes that the men are battling.

“Jay-Z had a choice. Having been called out publicly by his wife in her fierce 2016 album and video, Lemonade, Jay-Z knew that his fans wouldn’t have blinked if his next album skimmed past the allegations. That’s not uncommon for men to do. And it’s not as if we hadn’t seen Beyoncé and Jay-Z out in the world together since then—not to mention, welcoming their twins to planet Earth. Jay-Z could have ignored it all. But, instead, he chose a path of candor that will—like Brad’s and Prince Harry’s—move the conversation forward and help others,” said Lewinsky

She went on to say,

“It is a refreshing and bracing antidote to see male icons convey vulnerability in an age when Washington’s new power elite and our coarsening culture are busy projecting an outmoded caricature of manhood, 24/7. It’s heartening to see a crack in the implicit contract among men, their emotions, and society at large.”

All-in-all, Lewinsky praises various men in the limelight for being so open and expressive while simultaneously encouraging others to do so. What are your thoughts?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Jay-Z and Beyonce have revealed a lot about their personal lives through their music in the last few years.

They’ve revealed so much, that fans even learned that there had been trouble in paradise for even what seems to be the perfect couple.

Although the Carters are extremely happy about their new twin bundles of joy, Sir & Rumi Carter, it wasn’t that long ago that the twins big sister, Blue Ivy, had to fix some things for the couple!

According to People,

“It is not a secret that Beyoncé and Jay had huge problems a couple of years ago. It was obvious to everyone that spent time with them,” said an insider.

While going through various marital problems, it was their role as parents that kept Jay and Bey together.

“Even though they didn’t get along great, they were together a lot because of Blue. There was always tension in the air, but they both worked very hard to get to the place where they are now,” added the insider.

Apparently life is good in their $400,000 a month rental property in Malibu.

Look at Blue Ivy out here dropping freestyles and saving marriages! We are glad to see that the Carters were able to work it out. I can’t wait to see who the twins end up looking like.

Young M.A. Talks The Lack Of Balance In Hip Hop Among Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty & Kendrick Lamar (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Young M.A. is one of the most talked about rappers of this current generation.

The “Ooouuu” spitter spoke with Montreality about what she perceives as the lack of balance in Hip Hop at the moment.

Young M.A. specifically addressed 2016 XXL Freshman cover artists Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert as well as Grammy-winning emcee Kendrick Lamar.

“I’m not saying I’m not a fan of ‘the others’  – Lil Yachty or Lil Uzi. That’s their thing, and I think Kendrick that’s his thing,” said the Brooklynite. “I could never knock nobody, but the Lil Yachtys and the Lil Uzis are definitely outweighing the game right now.”

M.A also presented a defense of young rhymers like Yachty and Uzi.

“These kids out here, they’re making money. They’re enjoying it. They’re not gonna stop being how they are, and I can respect that,” she offered. “People bash them so much, but I don’t feel like bashing them is going to help anything.”

M.A. added, “[Hip Hop] is not where it used to be, and it doesn’t put me too much in that zone that I used to be in because it’s not the same anymore.”

Despite the changes taking place in the culture, Young M.A said she will always be in love with Hip Hop.

“I didn’t want to do nothing else with my life. I wanted to be a rapper, and that’s what it was. I made sure I became that,” said the New York representative.

Eminem Is A Fool. Asks: “Why Do You Think That I’m From A Trailer Park?”

(AllHipHop Rumors) This made me legit laugh out loud. In the movie “8 Mile” is has been immortalized and portrayed that Eminem was reared in a trailer park with his mother that appeared to resemble “white trash.” Well, there have been many accounts that this story was just that – a story! It has been insinuated and stated that Eminem’s movie story and his life story don’t exactly match up. I mean, that has never been the case with any of these biopics. I don’t even know why people were all mad at the Pac movie. They have to make adjustments creatively and also to condense 25 years into 2.5 hours. Not excuses, but it is what it is. But its good to see Eminem with that sense of humor. Check out the video and you will see what I mean. By, the way, I now don’t know if he was raised in a trailer park or not. By the way – 8 Mile turns 15 this year. How you feel?

Seems like an old video. Still funny.

With The Smoke! Another Producer Wants To Battle Swizz Beatz & Timbaland!

(AllHipHop Rumors) It looks like this forthcoming Swizz Beatz Vs. Timbaland beat battle has a lot of producers in their beat-making feelings!

Although the battle between Swizz & Just Blaze was super dope, this one will be even bigger!

Fans of both producers have obviously been a bit divided on social media about which team they are on. From what I’ve seen, most folks are going with Timbaland. Don’t sleep, Swizz has some hit bangers also.

Both producers have been going at each other in a friendly yet competitive manner on Instagram as they’ve been taking turns previewing new beats or playing some of their classics.

A few people have boldly stated that they would even like to battle both producers. One producer in particular [to make this claim] was Rockwilder.

Rockwilder seemed a bit nervous about battling catalogs, but he said if it’s strictly about beats, then he would battle both of them.

We aren’t sure exactly how the beat battle will go, but it seems that some fans would rather see the producers go at it by having to make hot beats on the spot rather than battling with their catalogs. Some fans even think it would be dope for both producers to also be given samples on the spot to make beats with.

I’m interested in seeing a battle of creating beats and one with catalogs, to be honest.

Do you think Rockwilder could truly battle Swizz & Timb? Who else would you like to see battle?
