Taraji P. Henson Jokes Helped Terrence Howard Lose Weight

By: Mike WinslowCategory: Uncategorized

(AllHipHop News) Actor Terrence Howard has trimmed 40 pounds off his figure after his “Empire” co-star Taraji P. Henson repeatedly teased him about his weight.

The 48-year-old has been showing off a more slender look in recent months, and he admits it was a little tough love from his TV ex-wife which inspired him to rethink his lifestyle choices.

“Taraji was making so much fun of me at work about me gaining weight,” he explained on U.S. talk show “The View.” “She was like, ‘Do you really wanna look like this for the rest of your career? Is this how you wanna look, Terrence? C’mon.’ So every day she would tug at me until I got it right.”

Terrence set about overhauling his diet and hiring trainer-to-the-stars Darrell Foster to help him reach his new fitness goals.

“No carbs, no salt, no sugar,” he revealed of his strict new health rules. “I was working out with this guy, Darrell Foster – he trained Will Smith – a really beautiful trainer… (and I was doing) five miles in the morning every day, and working out in the afternoon.”

The actor insists it didn’t take too long for him to adapt to his new routine: “You can do it like this: walk a quarter mile, run a quarter mile…,” Terrence said, adding of his reduced salt intake, “After a week, you don’t even miss the salt; you can taste the salt in everything.”

And Terrence has plenty of reasons to continue with his health journey, including his wife Mira Pak and their two young sons, Qirin and Hero.

Heaping praise on Mira for standing by him through good times and bad, he shared, “It’s not when you’re at your highest point that someone shows you the appreciation; my wife came around at a time when no one was really dealing with me, and picked me up and polished me up… and it’s been the greatest blessing of my life.”

The star’s romance with Mira has been filled with drama – they secretly divorced in July, 2015, just two months after baby Qirin was born, only to reconcile weeks later.

They managed to keep the split quiet until the actor’s marital status was brought up in the summer of 2015 as part of his court battle with ex-wife Michelle Ghent over their pricey divorce settlement.

Terrence also has three older children from his first marriage to Lori McCommas.

Dave Chappelle Apologizes For Suggesting Donald Trump Deserved A Chance

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) During his 2016 SNL hosting gig, Dave Chappelle asked viewers to give the then newly elected president a chance.

After weeks of controversies and scandals, Donald Trump’s approval rating currently sits at 36% and Chappelle has changed his mind on the POTUS.

Morning Joe contributor Willie Geist attended the Robin Hood benefit in New York City where Chappelle performed.

According to the MSNBC on-air personality, Chappelle spoke about the president at the event.

“Dave Chappelle tonight in NY on his November SNL monologue: ‘I was the first guy on TV to say “Give Trump a chance.” I f***ed up. Sorry,” tweeted Geist.

Last November, Chappelle made it clear he did not back Trump during the election.

“I’m not a Trump supporter,” stated the comedic legend.

Chappelle also took issue with media outlets for publishing articles that misquoted him saying he was backing the Republican candidate.

The original source for that story was The Observer, a publication run by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

KRS-One Updates Song and Apologizes For Paying Tribute To Wrong Beastie Boy

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Hip-hop legend KRS-One has apologized for paying tribute to the wrong Beastie Boys star on a new song dedicated to late rappers.

Adam Yauch, known as MCA, died in 2012 after losing his battle with cancer, but in a track titled “Hip Hop Speaks From Heaven the rapper gives a shout out to surviving Beastie Boys member Adam ‘Ad-Rock’ Horovitz.

“Like a late fog in the mist/I see King Ad-Rock/And rest in peace Nate Dogg/Their names and their natures will last,” he raps.

Ad-Rock has not commented on the song, but the “Sound of Da Police” rapper has since apologized and removed the track from his album.

“I am sending my sincere apologies to King Ad-Rock from the Beastie Boys on a performance error that I made on a song entitled Hip Hop Speaks from Heaven from my new album The World is Mind,” he wrote on Twitter. “I mistakenly paid respect and condolences to the wrong Beastie Boy member King Ad-Rock when it should have been MCA. In light of this, I am redoing the song ‘Hip Hop Speaks from Heaven’ and I am pulling the original version off of my digital release. Historical accuracy is extremely important to me, so I accept all responsibility for this error…”

Video Of Snoop Dogg’s Sign Language Interpreter Has Become A Hit

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) The clip of the sign language interpreter whose enthusiastic stint at Snoop Dogg’s show went viral has racked up 17 million views online.

Holly Maniatty almost upstaged hip-hop star Snoop Dogg as she relayed his performance via sign language during his concert at the Jazz Fest in New Orleans.

A clip of the certified sign language interpreter was originally posted by “The Good Life Radio Show” on Facebook of Holly rocking out to Snoop’s performance of 50 Cent hit “P.I.M.P.”

It has now been watched 17 million times, and gone viral on social media.

It’s not Maniatty’s first time at the rap rodeo; she was first caught on video at a 2013 Wu-Tang Clan show and has since worked numerous festivals and concerts with hip-hop stars including Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, and Killer Mike.

In a 2013 radio interview she explained how she spends almost 50 to 80 hours studying the music, where the performer is from, where they grew up and even their political affiliations.

“In order to make the interpretations as authentic as possible so the deaf patron is getting as close to the same experience as the hearing people are getting, I’m using signs that are, you know, indigenous to where that person, you know, grew up, or where they’re from or where they’re living currently,” Maniatty told NPR’s “All Songs Considered.”

And her prep clearly pays off as she explained that after the Wu-Tang show, a deaf concertgoer came up to her and said: “I never really got why people like hip-hop so much and now I get it.”

French Montana Partners With Global Citizen For #2BSTRONG African Healthcare Petition

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) French Montana has announced a partnership with Global Citizen to promote the #2BSTRONG petition campaign.

The Moroccan-born rapper and the New York-based social action advocacy group are calling on African nations to take action on child and maternal health.

An open letter to the continent’s leaders reads (in part): A strong, healthy population is essential to a country’s progress and economic prosperity. Over the past two decades, Africa has succeeded in reducing child and maternal deaths by more than half, saving millions from once widespread diseases like polio and measles. But, we cannot stop halfway and backtrack on these hard-won gains.

The #2BSTRONG agenda includes:

• adopting a national plan for better maternal and child health and make sure national, county, and district governments stick to their promises on health care

• reducing the number of women who die in childbirth by providing basic natal healthcare

• reducing the number of kids who die senselessly under-five due to diseases as basic as pneumonia and diarrhea in every country

• making sure all kids can get immunized and can access life-saving vaccines by 2020

• investing in and strengthen your own health systems, supporting health workers on the ground, so poverty is not a barrier to human beings getting the life-saving health care they need

In March, Montana traveled to Kampala, Uganda to film the video for his song “Unforgettable” featuring Swae Lee.

“When I went to Uganda, I fell in love with the kids. A lot of people say ‘happiness is within.’ Those people are rich on the inside,” the Bad Boy Records artist told Newsweek. “I saw that people weren’t able to help themselves as far as health.”

The trip inspired Montana and Mama Hope to launch the #UnforgettableDanceChallenge fundraiser campaign.

Celebrities such as Drake, DJ Khaled, Travis Scott, Diddy, Swizz Beatz, Belly, Young M.A, and others have taken part in the challenge.

Montana pledged $100,000 to help pay for ambulances, premature incubators, cribs, and a blood bank for the Suubi Health Center.

He is looking to raise another $400,000 for the Ugandan community.

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) “Straight Outta Compton” actor Richard Marcus Taylor was reportedly arrested on Monday (May 15) for allegedly assaulting a security guard.

The actor and stuntman, who played music mogul Suge Knight in the N.W.A. biopic, is said to have got into an altercation with the guard on Sunday night after he asked the actor to remove his foot from a table as he relaxed in the lobby of the Marenas Beach Resort in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida.

After Taylor refused and told the guard to “leave him alone” the guard instructed the hotel staff to call the police and he was allegedly confronted by the towering star, who pushed him to the ground and a “full physical fight ensued,” the arrest report said, according to the Miami Herald newspaper.

When police arrived at the scene, they allegedly saw Taylor “pick the victim up and slam him to the ground” before officers had to physically separate the pair.

Taylor was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery and is being held at a jail in Miami-Dade County.

The actor, who was credited as R. Marcus Taylor in the 2015 movie, has also had roles in TV shows “Luke Cage” and “Sons of Anarchy” and will play “Armie” in the upcoming Edgar Wright movie “Baby Driver.”

Did Gucci Mane And Keyshia Ka’oir Secretly Tie The Knot?

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Did the Wopsters already tie the knot?!

Rumor has it that Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’oir may have already secretly gotten married.

Remember Guwop and Keyshia told fans last month that they would be getting married on October 10, 2017 at 10:17 a.m. with the 1017 being for Gucci’s 10/17 record label.

Now a series of Instagram posts have led fans to believe and speculate that Gucci and Keyshia became Mr & Mrs. Radric Davis this weekend. Gucci & Keyshia took a photo with Keyshia’s mom over Mother’s Day Weekend, and the couple happened to wearing all white.

Then Keyshia has been snapping her engagement ring and fans noticed that she’s also wearing another band, a wedding band.

I honestly believe that LOVE could not wait so they went ahead and got married, but they will still plan a big wedding ceremony in October!

Metro Boomin’s Social Media Accounts Get Hacked With Gay Content

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Awwww man! They got Metro too!

Producer Metro Boomin was one of the latest victims to have his social media accounts hacked.

Both Metro’s Twitter and Instagram accounts were compromised with the hacker changing his tag line to “MetroBoominWantSomeMoreDick”. The hacker also posted several sexually explicit posts of men having sex to suggest that he and Future were gay and that he wished to engage in sexual activity with the rapper. One photo was captioned,

“Let’s do this tonight 😉 @Future.”

Metro was able to regain control of his account and delete the posts, but he let it be known that he was very unhappy with the occurrence, and he even vowed to make the hackers pay!

“And I promise that the f-ckboys hacking all my sh-t will pay,” tweeted Metro.

Well some people are blowing it off as a simple hack, while others are giving Metro and Future the side eye. LOL. Carry on.

Did Amber Rose Ban DJ From Playing Wiz Khalifa & Kanye West Music?

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Case of the ex!

Sometimes when you’ve moved on, or when your relationships with your exes are rocky you don’t want to see or hear anything that reminds you of them! So when your exes are artists you definitely don’t want to hear their music when you are out partying. Apparently this is what happened with Amber Rose over the weekend.

Amber was hosting a gig at Ora Night and partying it up with her “bro” French Montana down in Miami.

According to Page Six, Rose requested to not hear any of either one of her her exes music during her gig.

“Rose was specific in asking for no Kanye, and definitely no Wiz songs. She wanted the night to be about herself and she succeeded,” claimed a spy.

As petty as Amber can be sometimes, I actually don’t think she was being petty this time. I think she really just wanted to enjoy the night.

What are your thoughts?

Black Twitter Reluctantly Defends Bow Wow Against Bigot

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Mannnnnnnnn.

As you know Hip Hop fans have written Bow Wow off a time or two for his antics, but it seems like everyone was done with him after his social media stunt with his imaginary jet that kicked off the #BowWowChallenge.

While Black Twitter and Instagram were dragging Bow with the challenge, they now have reluctantly felt the need to defend him against a “racist” Caucasian entrepreneur trying to continuously humiliate him for a come up.

Timothy Sykes took to Instagram to call out Shad Moss for being a fraud, but the plot twist was that he had been caught stealing pictures and fronting on the gram a time or two also!

Sykes wrote,

“Hey @shadmoss here’s another lesson for you, when you actually fly on a #privatejet you can take a picture in front of it too, that way you don’t have to lie in interviews on how you did it on purpose to promote a TV show…unless you’re going to claim you stole my cash photo over a year ago for the show too! And you shouldn’t have lied again (you have a real nasty habit with that don’t you little man?) by saying the money wasn’t mine because I ONLY post photos of MY money, you forget that I’m not a broke ass musician like those you hang around with, I don’t drink #hennessy or #sizzurp because I use my brain to make money as #knowledgeispower and the #stockmarket is what more people should respect, not failed musicians pretending to still be relevant…hit me up if you want to learn, I’ve taught people dumber than you before, and as your thank you to me when I turn your financial situation around we can make a followup to your movie “Like Mike”, but we’ll call it “Like Tim”! #proudteacher #iloveteaching #bowwowchallenge #thegoodlife #bowwow #jewjetting #liljewjew”

Most took offense to the guy fronting himself, the hennessy and sizzurp references, the fact that dude took it too far, and the fact that he is not “family” or in the “community” that can roast Bow Wow. Check out folks defending Bow below.

Epic Records Executives Were Reportedly Aware Of L.A. Reid’s Alleged Harassment

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) After news broke L.A. Reid is leaving his position at Epic Records, reports began to circulate that the longtime music industry executive was accused of sexual harassment.

According to Billboard, an attorney for the accuser, who was a former assistant to Reid, sent a letter to Sony Music’s general counsel about the allegations.

The letter reportedly mentions the assistant complained to her immediate supervisor about Reid’s alleged actions, but the supervisor did not take any action to rectify the situation.

Everyday Struggle host Joe Budden used his Monday show to blast Reid, calling the 60-year-old businessman a known “sexual predator.”

Epic Records’ current roster features Hip Hop stars DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, Puff Daddy, Future, Big Boi, A Tribe Called Quest, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, French Montana, Bobby Shmurda, and Yo Gotti.

Chance the Rapper Apologies To Large Women Over Instagram Accident

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Chance the Rapper has apologized to fans after appearing to approve of an Instagram user shaming larger women online.

The “No Problem” star hit headlines over the weekend after he ‘liked’ a comment posted under an Instagram photo featuring three topless ladies squeezing their curves into skinny jeans, using their hands to preserve their modesty.

“Just puked,” read the remark.

Chance clicked the ‘like’ icon next to the post, and a screenshot of the user’s notification quickly surfaced on social media, alongside the caption, “Chance said get your fat a##es in the gym Queens.”

Many fans didn’t believe the rapper would support such a statement and speculated the post had been digitally altered, but Chance took to Twitter to accept the blame, insisting he ‘liked’ the comment by mistake.

Followers appeared to accept the star’s apology, which was ‘liked’ over 100,000 times.

The negativity was particularly surprising to fans as Chance, who has a baby daughter, is known for his kind and generous nature, recently stepping up to donate $1 million to the public school system in his native Chicago, Illinois to build a better future for local youths.

Chance isn’t the only person to fall victim to accidental ‘likes’ online – Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, also found herself under attack in December after seemingly giving the thumbs up to a negative post about her daughter’s “Dreamgirls” co-star Jennifer Hudson on Instagram.
