Eminem And Joyner Lucas Recorded A Song “What If I Was Gay?”

(AllHipHop Rumors) I thought is was a complete lie, but now I am seeing that it is actually REAL! Eminem And Joyner Lucas apparently have a song called “What If I Was Gay?” Now, this is a crazy name for a song, but is it? The years is 2019 and you might just be gay! 

Eminem has a loaded history with gay people has he has been a lightening rod of controversy. I mean, he’s said so many suspect lines and even anti-gay lines that he had to do a song with Elton John, the queen himself, just to momentarily get right with the Pink Mafia. 

I am not sure if this will please the gay folks, but they went there in a piece of the song that is dramatically edited JUST to show that it exists. Here are the words we got:

Joyner Lucas: “What if I told you I was out of place/ Wait, what if I told you I was gay?” 

Eminem: “What if I’m a hypocrite who’s just afraid to face truth?/ Wait, what if I told you I’m gay, too?”

We already know Joyner is doing THE MOST when it comes to getting attention from us and this is a perfect example of it. 

Give it a listen:

I really don’t have too much more to say. I believe it would or will go over well with people when and if it comes out.

White House Rep Responds To YG Kicking Fan Off Stage For Not Saying “F*ck Donald Trump”

(AllHipHop News) California rapper YG has made it very clear where he stands when it comes to the current occupant of the White House. Before Donald Trump was even elected to the presidency in 2016, YG and Nipsey Hussle dropped the “FDT (F*ck Donald Trump)” single earlier that year.

During his set at the 2019 Mala Luna Music Festival on Saturday, YG invited an unidentified fan to the stage. The Still Brazy, Stay Dangerous, and 4Real 4Real album creator requested that the festival-goer denounce Trump in front of the entire San Antonion audience.

“I don’t know if I want to shake your hand yet,” YG said to the young man. “Listen, I spotted you out in the crowd. I asked you if you f*cked with Donald Trump. You said you don’t know. So, since you don’t know, I need you to make up your mind tonight. I want you to state your name because I know your mama, your daddy, your grandmama, your grandfather is watching. I want you to state your name and yell out ‘F*ck Donald Trump.'”

After the festival-goer refused to curse out the president, YG said, “No, you won’t? Get his ass out of here. Get him off the stage. He’s a Donald Trump supporter, get his ass out of here… Donald Trump’s racist. He don’t f*ck with black people, so if you f*ck with Donald Trump, you racist as f*ck, and I can’t f*ck with you.”

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham responded to YG’s viral moment at Mala Luna. Even though it is not confirmed that the Compton rapper identifies as a liberal or even a Democrat, Grisham sarcastically told Fox News, “Another example of the tolerant left.”

Back in 2016, YG claimed the Secret Service contacted Universal Music Group to address him rapping about the then-Republican presidential candidate. He discussed the Donald Trump/Secret Service situation with TMZ as well as DJ Whoo Kid.

“Secret Service hollered at the label,” said YG in a TMZ clip. “They asked to see the lyrics on my album to see if I’m talking about [Trump] because if I’m talking about him on my album, they’re gonna try and take it off the shelf.”

On The Whoolywood Shuffle show, YG stated, “They did the whole album. That’s why on ‘FDT,’ on the album, it’s parts of the song that I had to blank out. Then on the next song, ‘Blacks & Browns,’ Sad Boy said some sh*t toward Donald Trump too. They heard that and we had to either change it or blank it out, so we put the static noise on top of that.”

Did John Legend Just Disown Kanye West?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) I often wonder about the dudes close to Kanye West, you know, his friends. I believe I know a thing or two about loyalty and sticking by somebody through think-n-thin. Trust me, things have never perfect at AllHipHop, but I am still here with the crew. Now, Kanye is another level! But a lot of these cats are sticking by him without any sort of regard for the danger in how he peddles his dogma.

However, John Legend has peeked out just a bit in a recent interview with Vanity Fair and It seems like he’s distancing himself from the man that signed him.

“Kanye, if he’s for you, he’s a very ardent marketer and cheerleader…I think what was always challenging about it was Kanye has never been political. I don’t think he knows one way or another what policies of Trump’s he likes. He just kind of embraced Trump’s blow-it-all-up spirit and the energy of himself being countercultural in supporting him…I’m not trying to disown Kanye because I still love him and love everything we’ve done together creatively- but we were never the closest of friends.”

What we should understand too, is that John Legend has expanded his empire to film, tv and other streams of revenue. Others have not done so and so I can only assume they have some financial need to the man. And there is nothing wrong with that, but it would be dope to hear somebody say that. 

John Legend didn’t exactly say that, but he certainly said “Whose man is this?” or pulled a Mariah.

Nevertheless, Kanye is still here with all his family and friends rooting him on even though he supports one of the nastiest and divisive presidents ever. And that’s me being nice. People are even calling him Maga West! 

It cracks me up how John Legend seems to be the softest dude on G.O.O.D. Music, but he’s really the strongest. 

Now, remember this: last year Kanye and John had a falling out of sorts when Kanye violated their friendship. John Legend tried to talk some sense in him and then he posted this private chat on social media without permission. They joked about it, but I am sure that didn’t bode well for future conversations. 

Let me go! 

Meek Mill Talks Bridging The Gap Between Community Members & Police Officers

(AllHipHop News) Emcee/activist Robert “Meek Mill” Williams and Philadelphia Eagles safety/Players Coalition co-founder Malcolm Jenkins took part in a town hall about policing. The panel discussion was created to get feedback from the community about Philadelphia’s next police commissioner.

Meek Mill, Malcolm Jenkins, and other panelists also talked about violence in the city, racial profiling, and cops accused of corruption. At one point, Meek shared his belief that law enforcement and local residents need to work together to solve some of the problems facing the public.

“The relationship [with] the police gotta be bridged. If it’s not going to be bridged, it will forever be separated. I don’t think anything can be done about it until both sides step up,” said the Roc Nation-managed music artist. “We’re here, we’re talking today, we’re ready to step up. I don’t know if there are any police officers in the building today, but after this, I hope we can just build and make things work.”

The National Football League published the full video of The Players Coalition’s “A Discussion About Philadelphia’s Next Police Commissioner” event on its official YouTube channel. Previously, Meek Mill worked with the NFL for the Inspire Change initiative.

Insurance Companies Reportedly Refuse To Cover Mental Health Issues For Kanye West’s Tour

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West has said he wants to officially tour off his new Jesus Is King album “right away.” The last time West hit the road in 2016, his “Saint Pablo Tour” ended early after the rapper was hospitalized for exhaustion and psychiatric observation.

With that history of instability, there are reports that insurance companies have concerns about Kanye’s upcoming trek. According to TMZ, insurers will write a policy for his tour, but they will not cover hospitalization due to mental health issues.

West has been open about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and there have been public moments where the 42-year-old musician appeared to be in a manic state. The cover art for his 2018 album, Ye, featured the words: “I hate being Bi-Polar its [sic] awesome.”

In 2017, Kanye West filed a $10 million lawsuit against Lloyd’s of London over the “Saint Pablo Tour” cancellations. The insurance company countersued. Both parties eventually settled the legal dispute, and West allegedly received most of what he was due under the policy.

The release of Jesus Is King was proceeded by Kanye presenting his Sunday Service events around the country. He recently livestreamed the Christian showcase from The Forum in Los Angeles. The performance featured appearances by Kenny G and the Clipse.

(AllHipHop News) With the success of Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow, there appears to be an interest in Hip Hop-based competition shows again. Gen Xers and Millennials will soon get to experience reality show nostalgia on their TV screens. 

Bad Boy Records architect Sean “Diddy” Combs joined DJ Khaled on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. The RS interview included Combs being asked about what he looks for when signing new acts.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LT4kCHm6I

“To be honest, I’ve been in semiretirement. If you don’t see my name on all the Top 10 records, that means I’m not making music,” Diddy replied. “I’m bringing Making the Band back in 2020. I’m contemplating, ‘Is there a role for me in music now?’ I just know that for me, I would only be able to sign legends.”

The Four: Battle for Stardom judge continued, “To be honest, my decisions will be made through God. I’m at another frequency and level of music. It would have to be something that God fully put in my heart, like when I heard Biggie or I heard Mary [J. Blige].”

Diddy’s version of Making The Band ran on MTV from 2002 – 2009. The show produced the rap group Da Band, girl group Danity Kane, boy band Day26, and R&B/Pop singer Donnie Klang.

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West finally dropped his Jesus Is King album on October 25. Since its release, the LP has been one of the main topics of discussion among music fans. Ye even got an endorsement from Donald Trump Jr.

However, Jesus Is King was met with mixed reviews. Particularly, critics were bothered by what was perceived as cringy lines like “Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-fil-A. You’re my number one, with the lemonade.”

Despite that negative feedback, Ye’s latest body of work is expected to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200. He traveled to New York City to promote the project on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The G.O.O.D. Music founder also ran through “Closed On Sunday” on the late-night program. Kanye was joined inside The World Trade Center Transportation Hub’s Oculus by a band and a choir. 

Riverside Rapper 4lJavi Reveals His Top 5 & Love For Shoreline Mafia

By: Shirley Ju Updated Category: Features
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Hailing from Riverside, 4ljavi is here to put his foot on the gas pedal and slay the rap game with full force.

The “Misunderstood” rapper grew up on both sides of the city (downtown and uptown), which exposed him to both the suburbs and the hood.

While he hung around people that were in the streets, his mama raised him right.

As far as the music, he’s known from the very beginning this was what he wanted to do as a career.

Last year was when he discovered his own sound and lane, making a conscious decision to dedicate his entire life to perfecting his craft.

AllHipHop: For those who don’t know, who is Javi?

Javi: Javi is that n*gga, one who really could do it all. He’s from Riverside you know he reps the IE. I can almost do it all… almost! I’m not doing no rock or no country, that’s the only thing I’m not gonna do.

AllHipHop: How would you describe your sound?

Javi: See that’s where it gets tricky because I have two sides. I can sing a little bit and I can rap too, so I’m an all-around artist.

https://soundcloud.com/champagnejavi/4l-javi-u-p###-loyaltheplug

AllHipHop: You just unleashed “U,” what was the inspiration here?

Javi: I was messing with somebody, it was hella long ago. She was saying stuff like she wasn’t sure if I was really all for her. It wasn’t really written for her, yet it was what I was going through so I just put everything in a song. I was saying “I’d do this for you, that for you. I can do this and that.” It was for a girl, but it’s not a dedication song or nothing.

AllHipHop: Has she heard it?

Javi: Yeah. [chuckles] She thinks it’s about her. But I’m always gonna turn her down: ”nope, it’s not about you. It’s just a regular song.” She don’t know except for this.

AllHipHop: How’s the independent grind?

Javi: Honestly, it’s not that bad. Because I hear a lot of stories from the signed artists how they can’t do certain stuff and it’s cool to have your own way of doing stuff. You can really have your whole agenda set up, and it’s all by yourself. But I do want to be signed though because I have a bigger budget to work with. I can be a bigger artist but as far as right now, it’s cool being independent. Still figuring it out.

AllHipHop: Favorite person to follow on IG?

Javi: It’s not even Drake ‘cause he doesn’t post that much. Right now, it’s Shoreline Mafia. It’s their styles that I f### with. They’re all over the place, they always shooting videos. What I like about them is they’re consistent. There’s always a new video, they were just on tour or have new merch. They always have something they’re pushing, that’s what I like about them.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2seA7cB4JP

AllHipHop: Who’s in your Top 5?

Javi: For sure, Drake. G-Herbo. #3 recently… is Brent Faiyaz. He is so cool. Myself for sure. And Justin Timberlake, I f### with Justin Timberlake.

AllHipHop: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Javi: By the time I’m 31, it’d be my last album is about to come out. Because my thing is, if I’m doing this for 10 years, it’s not gon’ keep on being…

AllHipHop: I mean, Lil Wayne’s still putting out music.

Javi: You’re right, Wayne’s a f###### monster though. Okay you know what, I’d still be doing music, but I’d be acting. Doing more acting than music.

AllHipHop: Is there anything else you want to let us know?

Javi: I got a new EP titled Joint of the Year. It’s a lot of aggressiveness and s###-talking. Because I’m really humble but in these 4 songs, I just had to get it out really quick.

T.I. Gets A Call From Jay-Z About His Top 50 List…

(AllHipHop Rumors) Is Jay-Z still competitive? Is he the greatest ever!? Does he still believe he is? I think so and T.I. now knows more than we do. T.I. recently did one of those top 50 lists that have come to dominate internet AND barber shop conversations! And Tupac was No. 1 and Jay-Z was No. 2. Well, well, well…what do we have here!? You think Jay didn’t see THAT? Yes he did! Not only did he see it, he called his Atlanta brother about a non-related matter only to circle back on him about the list. Check out what he said!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4K8EekJEVS

Remember these two on “Swagger Like Us,” the hit song that also had Lil Wayne on it? Amazing record when ya think about it. I am thinking Tip got slightly nervous about that one! Personally, I have to agree with C Tha God on this one, simply because Pac died so soon in the 90’s whereas Jay-Z has gone forward to prosper and live and grow and all that good stuff! Had Pac lived…well, the story ends very differently. Same with Biggie. 

Trent Reznor Says He Felt “Violated” By Lil Nas X – Until “Old Town Road” Blew Up

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Rocker Trent Reznor initially felt “violated” after learning a sample from a Nine Inch Nails song was lifted for the mega-hit “Old Town Road.”

The rocker had no idea Lil Nas X and producer YoungKio sampled the instrumental piece “34 Ghosts IV,” from his band’s 2008 Ghosts I-IV album, for the country rap crossover track until after the tune went viral.

“At first, when you hear your stuff turned into something else, it always feels awkward because it’s something that intimately came from you in some way,” Trent explained to Rolling Stone. “You feel a little bit violated, you know?”

“The way it was presented to me originally is I got a call from my management saying, ‘We got a call from a panicked manager saying they had used the sample of something off ‘Ghosts.’ They should have cleared it, but it didn’t get cleared. It’s picking up some steam on the viral Spotify charts. What do you think about that?’ And I said, ‘Look, I’m fine with it. I get how stuff goes. They’re not saying they didn’t sample it. Just work it out, but don’t be a roadblock to this.’

“I hadn’t heard it yet. Then a few weeks later, I was like, ‘Holy s##t.'”

Reznor didn’t expect the Lil Nas X song, which has been certified diamond by officials at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), in addition to breaking all kinds of chart records internationally, to become the biggest hit of 2019, and he is now honored to have contributed to the phenomenon.

“Having been listed on the credits of the all-time, Number One whatever-the-f##k-it-is wasn’t something (I expected)… I didn’t see that one coming,” he shares. “But the world is full of weird things that happen like that. It’s flattering. But I don’t feel it’s for me to step in there and pat myself on the back for that.”

Admitting “Old Town Road” is “undeniably hooky,” Reznor can’t get the refrain out of his brain.

Asked if he likes the song itself, he states, “It’s been stuck in my head enough. Let’s put it that way.”

“Dancing With The Stars” Dancer Threatens Kanye West With A Diss Track Over Album Snub

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West dissed “Dancing With The Stars” on his new album Jesus Is King – 11 years after his wife Kim Kardashian competed on the series.

The rapper finally dropped his long-awaited gospel album on Friday after a series of delays and, while fans have been enjoying Ye’s new music, some couldn’t help question the not-so-subtle reference to the popular ABC series.

In the track On God, the star raps: “That’s why I charge the prices that I charge / I can’t be out here Dancing With the Stars / No, I cannot let my family starve / I go hard, that’s on God.”

However, while Kim appeared on the show more than a decade ago, fans speculated the reference was likely aimed at his sister-in-law Khloe’s ex Lamar Odom, who competed on the current 28th season of the show, but was eliminated in the third week.

The lyric certainly caught the attention of ballroom professional Val Chmerkovskiy who dances on the show, as he took to social media to share his reaction to the track.

In the clip Val is seen grooving to the song until it arrives at the line in question, prompting him to c### his head to the side, as he says: “Yo, Kanye, keep talking that smack about ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ man. You gonna catch this diss track.”

He ends by poking fun at his job, adding: “With some rhinestones on it.”

EXCLUSIVE: Cardi B. Sued For Posting Picture Of Herself In Moschino Dress

(AllHipHop News) Top rapper Cardi B. is being sued for posting a picture of herself to her 52 million followers on Instagram.

Cardi, Moschino and its popular designer Jeremy Scott are being sued by Splash News Agency, over pictures they reposted to Twitter and Instagram.

According to the lawsuit, The Daily Mail licensed some pictures of Cardi B from Splash News Agency and used them in an article featuring the rap star in Moschino dress in May of 2018, when she was pregnant with Baby Kulture.

Splash claims that within hours of The Daily Mail’s article, Cardi and Jeremy Scott cropped the watermark with their credit out of the picture, while Moschino did the same thing.

Splash says they are the rightful owners of the photo in question, which was used to promote the dress Cardi was rocking after she left the Met Gala, the same night her bodyguards beat up a photographer.

“Individuals and entities in the media industries—like defendants—know that repeated, almost instantaneous acts of content piracy destroy the syndication value of the work of content creators and copyright owners,” Splash’s lawyer Peter E. Perkowski said.

Splash is looking to have a jury trial to determine the amount of damages they should be rewarded.

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Flavor Flav has been named the father of a two-month-old infant in his ongoing paternity lawsuit.

Kate Gammell, a member of the Public Enemy star’s management team, claimed the hip hop emcee is the biological father of her two-month-old son Jordan and asked a judge to establish paternity through a DNA test earlier this month.

According to reports, it has since been determined that the rapper, real name William Jonathan Drayton, Jr., is the biological father.

Gammell previously requested child support from Drayton, Jr., if it was proved he was the baby’s father.

She joined the star’s management team a few years ago and the pair’s relationship has been documented on the reality television show “Growing Up Hip Hop.”

Flavor Flav, who is already a father to seven children, previously denied he is Jordan’s dad.

Kanye West Reportedly Wanted To Take Sunday Service To Jerry Falwell Jr.’s Liberty University

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) There is still a lot of questions about Kanye West’s Sunday Service performances and his support for Donald Trump. Earlier this month, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church’s Rev. Jamal Harrison Bryant announced his congregation was redirecting a donation from West to Morris Brown College because of the rapper’s political statements.

While Bryant chose to distance himself from West, another evangelical leader reportedly fully embraced the 42-year-old superstar who recently converted to Christianity. Liberty University president and prominent Trump supporter Jerry Falwell Jr. is said to be building a relationship with the Jesus Is King creator.

Apparently, West was planning to take his Sunday Service series to Liberty University. Slate reports:

West’s specific plan to perform at Liberty didn’t last long, according to Falwell and a Liberty spokesperson. West called on a Tuesday, and wanted to hold the event at Liberty’s football stadium the following Sunday, with an audience of 25,000 split between Liberty students and Lynchburg, Virginia, locals. As organizers scrambled to assemble the logistics, West said he had to check with “the best publicist in the world”—his wife, Kim. According to Falwell, Kim deemed the event too difficult to pull off on such a short timeline.

Jerry Falwell Jr. is viewed as a controversial figure in some circles. His comments about Muslims, gays, and transgender individuals led to condemnation from organizations representing those communities.

The son of the late televangelist Jerry Falwell has also faced serious scrutiny after a “racy photo” scandal and self-dealing scandal put a spotlight on Falwell Jr. and his wife Becki Falwell. Plus, over two dozen current and former Liberty University officials described a culture at Liberty that is leading to a lack of faith in Falwell Jr. as the head of the institution.
