Cardi B Addresses Saying Her Success Led To Female Rappers Getting Signed To Labels

(AllHipHop News) Cardi B is one of the leading women in rap music at the moment. During a Q&A with the Rap Radar podcast to promote Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow series, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker talked about her impact on modern Hip Hop.

“Before me, there was no female rapper that was signed to a label. Well, you know, the ones that had been established. Nobody was signing them,” said Cardi. “Now, everybody’s just signing them if you can rap and you got a couple of followers because nobody wants to miss the opportunity like a lot of labels and people missed the opportunity with me.”

Those comments apparently bothered some people, so the Bronx native went to Twitter to address her critics. Over several tweets, Cardi clarified that she did not suggest that she paved the wave for female rappers, but the Atlantic recording artist doubled down on her point about changing the landscape for women in mainstream rap.

Cardi tweeted:

I didn’t say I pave the way for female rappers but I deff gave the hood and women hope. Nikkas wasn’t collabing with females rappers. Labels where signing female rappers and putting them in a shelf and not focusing on them. Not giving them proper attention. It seem like it was impossible for it to be more then one female rapper. These male rappers where not even takin Money from female rappers for a feature cause it seem far fetch for another woman to make it. I see so many male artists collabing wit females now even. Some that are not mainstream because I know they don’t want to miss out on the opportunity in case they make it cause trust and believe slot of Nikkas I asked for features from when they see me they tell me “I shoulda believe” Deum I should have did the feature. And ya can deny it as much as ya want and say I’m crazy or stfuu but how many female rappers before me where getting chances or getting pushed? They wasn’t believing and now they are! And for the slow ones again NO ain’t made females want to rap cause b*tches been rapping b*tches been have talent but the music industry wasn’t believing and sh*tting on female rappers and that’s Big Bentley. 

Cardi then began directly responding to Twitter users that took issue with what she had to say about the topic. She wrote:

I’m Lying? So you tell me what rappers was giving features to female rappers? What label was pushing a female rapper? What tv music show was inviting female rappers. Only 2 female rappers for years and one ain’t last to long ……now you tell me! I wanna see something? No matter how I would have word it people will always find a way to flip it & make it negative cause they hate cardi but yet they still can’t find me a magazine, a big festival, a male female rapper collar thst happen between 2008-2017 expect for 1 female rapper. Ya comprehension skills must be on slow cause I never discredit nobody. There’s been females rappers b4 I was born it died out due to hope and it got revive back in 08 & the music industry made it a stigma like there could only be 1 & now there’s plenty striving. 

A Bardi Gang member created a Twitter thread displaying new female rap acts City Girls, Megan Thee Stallion, and Lizzo praising Cardi for opening doors in the culture. Since Cardi’s breakout as a musician in 2017, additional women such as Kash Doll, Saweetie, Doja Cat, Rico Nasty, Dreezy, Tierra Whack, DreamDoll, Asian Da Brat, Stefflon Don, CupcakKe, and Maliibu Miitch have gotten considerable exposure on a national level.

(AllHipHop News) Lil Baby and his record label Quality Control are being accused of beating two Pennsylvania promoters out of their money over a missed show back in July.

Two locals named Omar Tejeda and Ariel Fernandez claimed they paid money upfront to book Lil Baby to perform at a nightclub in Ashley, PA on July 20.

According to The Citizen’s Voice, the promoters agreed to pay Lil Baby $30,000 for the show at Ashley Nightclub on July 20.

The men say they wired $15,000 upfront to secure Lil Baby for the night, but he never showed up for the gig.

The promoters also claim they shelled out almost $70,000 more on other expenses associated with producing the night, and they also had to refund $45,000 worth of tickets they sold.

A lawyer was forced to take action after Lil Baby and QC refused to refund their money or reimburse them for their expenses.

Prezi Says Philthy Rich Is The “Hardest Working In The Music Industry”

By: Shirley Ju Updated Category: Features

Prezi is a product of the streets of San Francisco, putting on for the projects and a place he calls home.

With the Bay Area native comes a layer of raw authenticity, something fans can appreciate the most. Describing himself as “one of the realist out here,” the “Do Better” rapper has no plans of stopping anytime soon.

Signed to EMPIRE Records, Prezi recently shut down Rolling Loud Bay Area — even coming out during Mozzy’s set. AllHipHop caught up with Prezi to discuss the reality of growing up in the projects, fatherhood,

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

Prezi: Prezi is a father first before anything. But other than that, I’m just a real individual. I come from nothing, from the projects in San Francisco. Harbor Road. I’m a rapper, a fun dude, a cool dude. [chuckles]

AllHipHop: Being from the projects of San Francisco, what were you seeing growing up?

Prezi: Everything you can think of, from drugs to killings to shootings. Not just the bad stuff but the good stuff too. I’ll say the projects made me who I am because growing up, I didn’t have a dad. The projects taught me how to fight, how to have confidence to talk to girls, how to dress, etc. It comes the good with the bad.

AllHipHop: How would you describe your sound?

Prezi: My sound is street. It’s raw. It puts you in the projects when you hear me. Puts you in a place so you can understand, you can feel it.

AllHipHop: What were you going through in that moment?

Prezi: I was fresh out of jail from beating a murder case, so it was a bunch of stuff going on. I was locked up for four months, I speedy trial-ed it so I ended up getting out faster than normal guys would.

AllHipHop: Biggest lesson you learned behind bars?

Prezi: Family man. The little stuff matters: pillows, remotes, everything. Those things matters.

AllHipHop: How old are your kids?

Prezi: My oldest daughter is 6, my son is 2, and I have a young daughter that’s one.

AllHipHop: Biggest lesson you learned in fatherhood?

Prezi: Just be there. You have to be there and interact. You have to let your kids know that you love them.

AllHipHop: Do they know daddy’s a rapper?

Prezi: Yes, every one of them does. They love my songs, they listen to them nonstop.

AllHipHop: What’s their favorite song?

Prezi: “Do Better.” [chuckles]

AllHipHop: The “Do Better” remix has over 33 million on Youtube alone. Did you foresee it blowing up like this?

Prezi: Nah I didn’t… but I did. It was kind of a mystery: it might or might not. If it does, it does. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

AllHipHop: You did a whole project with Philthy Rich, who’s a Bay Area legend. What’s your friendship with him?

Prezi: That’s my big brother man, cool dude. The hardest working dude in the music industry that I know. From top rappers to bottom rappers, he’s the hardest working dude I know. His work ethic is crazy. He records nonstop and he’s constantly putting out music.

AllHipHop: Talk about linking with Derek King on your next single.

Prezi: It’s not out yet, but that song finna be dope! That song is finna be big, we just shot the video in LA so now we’re just waiting. As soon as it’s finished, we’re dropping it. We’re going to turn it up, we’re going to go crazy. We’re going to radio, everything. That’s my guy.

AllHipHop: I saw him earlier in the day, what does it mean to be a Rolling Loud in the Bay?

Prezi: It’s big. It’s a movie man. It’s a blessing honestly, it’s really a blessing. Just this whole experience and going through this, it’s amazing. I’ve been smiling this whole day.

Is There Trouble In Paradise With The Breakfast Club? Charlamagne & Angela Yee?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Now, it looks like we have a problem. The battle lines are drawn. And the fans are picking teams. It looks like #TeamYee is the biggest team thus far, because it looks like the sexy host is getting a raw deal. Is she? Well, let’s see. Angela Yee did an interview with Yo Gotti and Gucci Mane’s wife came up in the convo. I honestly don’t remember what was said, but it did not go over well with Gucci. Now, recently Charlamagne Tha God did an interview with Gucci Mane and in that conversation, he said some crosswords at both DJ Envy and Angela Yee. 

Gucci Mane said he was going to “step to” Envy and “slap him” when he sees him and called Angela Yee a “punk a$$ b####” – WHOA! Who you callin’ a bish!? This has not gone over well for anybody! And social media has made matters worse. Somebody posted that Charla and Yee were not friends – just co-workers! And Charlamagne LIKED IT. Now this may sound significant. but it certainly looks like a co-sign! So, Angela has reportedly unfollowed Charlamagne on social media. Women are now joining #TeamYee in solidarity for her.

This could eventually get very ugly. There’s a bit of history behind this that I will not even address. I will just say that I hope they do fix it!

Wack 100 Said Nipsey Got His Under Gang Banger Rules

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop Rumors) I am not sure that Wack 100 wanted this one to come out, but maybe he did. He generally speaks his mind and bites his tongue for no one. But he suggested that Nipsey got what he had coming to him under the rules and regulations of gang banging in Los Angeles. 

“S##### Cuz, the alleged gunman, when it comes to the rules of engagement of gang banging, he did what he was supposed to do when another gang banger calls you a f#####, a pedophile or a snitch,” Wack allegedly said in an audio clip doing the rounds. “You supposed to handle your business. And can’t nobody say that’s wrong.”

When he says “handle your business,” he is saying “kill somebody.” Well. I don’t know the rules of gang banging too much, but I do know the rules of having some basic class and courtesy. I just have to say that this fella is out of line in the rules of class and courtesy. Now, I know those rules that I speak of have ABSOLUTELY NO jurisdiction at all in the land of Bloods and Crips. But, to me, Nipsey was a man of the people and well-liked. He was uplifting his community and even united the gangs. 

So, for Wack to seemingly support the murder under gang bang laws WHEN S##### Cuz did actually (allegedly) snitch. Well…I can’t rock with that. I also think that there is a time to say absolutely nothing! I know that ain’t the climate we live in, but it works. Honestly. Wack didn’t tell any lies. He just didn’t need to say it.

One thing I will say about Wack 100…he holds his ground and doesn’t CARE. There is a special trait for a dude of that nature. He is without question ABOUT THAT LIFE.

(AllHipHop News) The second guy rounded up in connection to the death of rap star Mac Miller made an appearance in court yesterday (October 22).

Ryan Reavis appeared before a judge to plead not guilty to a variety of felony charges for allegedly helping distribute the drugs that made their way to Mac Miller and killed him.

The 36-year-old was arrested last month after the DEA searched his home and found prescription-only pills, a prescription pad, guns, a silencer, and ammunition.

Reavis is facing charges which include fraudulent schemes and artifices, possession of marijuana, possession of prescription drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, weapons misconduct by a prohibited possessor, and manufacture of a prohibited weapon.

Cameron James Pettit, the first man charged in the case, will go to trial on November 26.

Another man named Stephen “Stevie” Walter is also facing charges for being involved in the deadly drug ring.

(AllHipHop News) Rising rap star Megan Thee Stallion is taking her love for horror movies to the next level by penning her own flick.

In a new 24 Hours With… video for Vogue magazine, the “Hot Girl Summer” hitmaker revealed the unlikely career move when asked about the script the star is currently working on.

“Oh yes, it’s for a horror film,” she said. “Everyone knows I f##king love horror movies.”

When asked about her favorite scary films, the 24-year-old replied: “I’m not even gonna lie to you, I think it’s ‘Evil Dead.'”

“I like movies that make you semi fall in love with the villain so you have sympathy for him. You’re not gonna want the villain to die, maybe he won’t die. ‘Cause I feel like every good story, you can’t just necessarily kill off the villain,” the musician explained. “That’s why the Batman never killed Joker. How the f**k would you have Batman with no Joker?”

However, she suggested “The Human Centipede” franchise, which sees a surgeon kidnap a group of people and join them surgically, mouth to a###, forming a ‘human centipede,’ was even too much for her, as she was sent into a screaming fit when asked about the film.

“You know what, but, I appreciate whoever made that movie. We needed that for the culture,” she went on to admit.

The City Of Chicago Approved To Go After Jussie Smollett Over Massive Legal Bill

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) A judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed against actor Jussie Smollett for allegedly making false claims he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack.

U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall’s ruling allows Chicago city officials to proceed with their bid to seek to recoup the $130,000 spent investigating Smollett’s story.

City law enforcement officials maintain they racked up almost 1,900 hours of overtime as they attempted to apprehend the alleged assailants Smollett insisted used racist and homophobic slurs and looped a noose around his neck, before fleeing.

The “Empire” star was indicted on 16 counts after it was alleged he had staged the hate attack on himself to drum up publicity, and he was later charged with disorderly conduct and filing a false police report.

However, he walked free from custody on March 26 after all charges against him were dropped.

But city officials still refused to believe he was a victim and set about recouping the money they felt they had wasted on the investigation.

Smollett has denied faking the attack, and last month filed a motion asking for the city’s lawsuit to be thrown out of court.

City officials say GPS data, video, and other evidence prove Smollett paid the men he accused of attacking him to fake a hate crime.

(AllHipHop News) R. Kelly’s former divorce lawyer has added to the jailed singer’s woes by suing him for $12,000.

The “I Believe I Can Fly” singer is currently facing serious time behind bars on a series of sex abuse allegations, and now he’s also fighting payment claims from Lisa Damico, who represented Kelly when he faced jail time in March for failing to pay child support and education expenses for his daughter.

Damico filed her request with Cook County Judge Lori Rosen earlier this month, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, claiming Kelly paid her $12,000 in March after she billed him over $25,000.

The rest of the money was not forthcoming, she alleges, and now the divorce lawyer wants him to pay up.

A hearing has been set for November 4.

(AllHipHop News) Will Smith and Dame Helen Mirren will lead 50,000 people pitching their tents in 50 cities for a worldwide event in December aimed at raising funds to fight homelessness.

The World’s Big Sleep Out, organized by Josh Littlejohn and his fellow bosses at Scottish charity organization Social Bite, will take place in London and New York, as well as Dublin, Ireland, New Delhi, India, Santiago, Chile and Hong Kong.

Executives hope the project will raise $50 million to help house those living on the streets, and they officially launched the initiative on Tuesday (October 22nd) with a one-minute video posted on the program’s social media channels.

The short film opens with Will Smith saying, “Think for a minute about what home means to you. For me home means conversation. It’s the place where my family comes together and that’s the most beautiful part of home. But there are over 100 million people in the world that don’t have a place to call home.”

Dame Helen then adds, “On December 7, 2019, we are hoping for 50,000 people to sleep out in the world’s largest display of solidarity and support for homeless and displaced people. Major sleep out events will be happening in Trafalgar Square, in Times Square and in 50 cities across the world.”

The video concludes with Littlejohn urging viewers to “come and join us… at an official event” or host “your own sleep out.”

On the night itself, Smith will join the crowds camping out in New York’s Times Square, where he’ll read a bedtime story, while Dame Helen will help lull campers to sleep with a tale in London’s Trafalgar Square.

“It’s a championship that’s dear to his heart and he wanted to create an over the top ring that not only paid homage to his city but made a statement above and beyond anything else in history.”

Meanwhile, the Raptors’ rings have a face made of 74 diamonds (to represent the number of team wins during the season), one large diamond, and custom-cut baguette diamonds to make up the Toronto skyline.

The outer edge of the ring is lined with 16 rubies to go with each roster member’s numbers, and the inside of the ring includes personal messages for each player.

There are more than 640 diamonds on each ring – more than any in history.

The HBCU with the highest engagement on their video will receive a $25,000 donation to the institution’s music department/band program.

“I come from an HBCU, I started out at the school of engineering at Morgan State University and there would be no me without my experience at MSU,” states Liles. “Homecomings and the power of their marching bands have always been at the core of an HBCU’s school spirit.”

Liles continues, “Our commitment from Young Thug and 300 is to support those very creatives who give their all and inspire us to build upon the HBCU communities. On behalf of Young Thug and I, we will always commit to putting the arts at the front of our philanthropic efforts.”

(AllHipHop News) During the early stages of the 2019 B2K reunion tour, Raz-B suggested former manager Chris Stokes’ presence was the greatest cause of turmoil on the road. However, Fizz is now saying Omarion’s sense of self-importance was a problem as well.

Fizz was the latest guest on VH1’s Brunch With Tiffany digital series. Reality show icon Tiffany “New York” Pollard spoke with the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star about reconnecting with Omarion, Raz-B, and J-Boog for B2K’s “The Millennium Tour.”

“I know it sounds kinda crazy, but I consider my group to be rather dysfunctional. We haven’t really known each other in the past 15 years, so coming back together, trying to re-learn everybody as men… it’s a lot different,” explained Fizz.

The 33-year-old entertainment veteran later added, “It’s a working relationship and it’s a lot of egos involved. If people get rid of those, then maybe we could finish it.” Pollard then asked Fizz which B2K member had the biggest ego. He responded, “Probably, the lead singer… There is no relationship with [Omarion]. It’s just a working relationship.”

There have been reports of tension between the two performers over the fact that Fizz allegedly dated Omarion’s ex-girlfriend and the mother of his children, Apryl Jones, while B2K was on tour. The Fizz-Apryl courtship is playing out on the current season of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.

(AllHipHop News) While most of the celebrity news media was mainly just congratulating Nicki Minaj on her recent supposed nuptials to Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, Wendy Williams went a different direction with the story. The daytime talk show host took shots at Minaj’s cosmetic enhancements and reminded her audience of Petty’s past criminal convictions.

“Can you imagine a burgeoning belly with these burgeoning hips? I mean, the plastic of it all. She’s gonna have a big belly and she’s short and she’s got the boobs and the hips,” said Wendy about Nicki Minaj. “I don’t know what [Petty] does for a living. I just know that he did time in jail… he’s a sex offender. Well, she’s no stranger to that because her brother’s in jail for sex offending.”

The TV gossip queen continued, “Well, first-degree manslaughter. Now, [Petty] served seven years in prison, and he’s also a sex offender. Is a manslaughter a killer? Okay, so he’s a killer and a sex offender. Well, Nicki, congratulations.”

Petty, 41, is a level two registered sex offender in the state of New York after being convicted of attempted first-degree rape with a knife in 1995. In 2006, he pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter for a 2002 shooting death and served seven years in prison for that offense. 

Minaj’s brother, Jelani Maraj, was found guilty in Nassau County, New York of sexually assaulting his then 11-year-old stepdaughter on multiple occasions. State Supreme Court Justice Robert McDonald denied a motion to have the conviction overturned. Maraj is facing life in prison. Sentencing in that case is scheduled for November 18.
