Papoose Walks Claressa Shields Into Weigh-In For Fight, Gets On Bended Knee

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Papoose strolled into Flint City Hal in Flint, Michigan, on Saturday (February 1) with an undeniable swagger in a black-and-white leather shearling jacket that quickly lit up social media to support his new girlfriend, boxer Claressa Shields.

But it wasn’t just his outfit stealing attention—it was his presence at boxing superstar Shields’ weigh-in, confirming his new relationship following his split from longtime partner and Hip-Hop veteran Remy Ma.

The rap veteran was front and center to support Claressa Shields as she prepared for her high-stakes bout against Danielle Perkins, scheduled for Sunday, February 2, 2025.

In a raucous moment during the weigh-in, Papoose was spotted kneeling down and lacing up Shields’ Timberland boots.

The match could crown Shields, who is 15-0, as the first-ever undisputed women’s heavyweight champion. A win will cement her as the only male or female fighter in boxing’s “four-belt era” to become an undisputed champion across three divisions.

Shields, an Olympic gold medalist with a pristine 15-0 record, got into a high-profile back-and-forth with Remy Ma after all parties exchanged salacious allegations.

Remy Ma, who has since admitted to being in a relationship with Eazy The Block Captain, accused Papoose of threatening to release private content and cheating on her during their marriage.

Papoose fired back, labeling Remy as a narcissist and accusing her of multiple infidelities. Shields also entered the fray and said she would fight Remy and would only take $1 as her payout.

Papoose showing up to support Shields despite the drama around his broken marriage makes it clear—he’s moving on.

As for Remy Ma, she previously declared her love for Eazy The Block Captain, who claimed people were hating on their relationship because they were happy.

Method Man Denies Punching Man In Face Seven Times—Cops Agree

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Method Man will not face any arrest or charges following an alleged altercation at a Crunch Fitness gym in Staten Island earlier this month.

According to a report from The St. Louis American, authorities have determined that Method Man, whose real name is Clifford Smith, was reportedly struck first during the incident, which involved 28-year-old Patrick Sokoya.

Sokoya had a romantic relationship with Method Man’s daughter, Cheyenne Smith, more than a decade ago. According to the New York Post, Sokoya accused Method Man of punching him seven times in the face and later filed a report with the New York Police Department.

Sokoya claimed he experienced facial pain and dizziness but declined medical treatment at the scene.

The legendary rapper and actor known for his work with Wu-Tang Clan, previously appeared to deny the event actually occurred once the incident began circulating in the news cycle. On January 17, Method Man’s representative, Nicole Perna, firmly denied the accusations.

“Mr. Smith categorically denies the allegations as reported and has not been the subject of an arrest by any law enforcement agency,” Perna stated. The NYPD also confirmed that no arrest report exists in connection with the incident, and there is no official evidence supporting Sokoya’s claims.

Despite initial reports suggesting a violent confrontation, the investigation’s findings have cleared Method Man of any wrongdoing.

For those unaware, Method Man’s daughter Cheyenne is also an artist. Last March, she took a major step in her music career by appearing as Trina’s guest at 97.9 WJLB’s TakeOver 5 concert at Detroit’s Fox Theatre.

It was there she performed her drill-inspired single “Hair and Nails” in front of artists such as Rick Ross and Juvenile, along with a packed crowd. Even though she has her father to show her the ropes of the industry, Cheyenne admits he’s not giving her any special treatment.

“At the end of the day, you gotta put in the work,” she said in a January interview with Shaoliiin Entertainment. “He could do that but he rather see me work for it and really push but he’s gonna support one thousand gajillion trillion percent. But he wants to see the work too.”

EXCLUSIVE: TDE’s Lawyer Blasts “Shake Down” & Reveals Accusers

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Exclusives

TDE has shot back at allegations of misconduct and sexual harassment following a lawsuit filed this week in Los Angeles Superior Court by two previously anonymous women.

The lawsuit accuses executives and staff within the prominent Hip-Hop label, formerly home to Kendrick Lamar, of creating an alleged environment rife with harassment, assault, and contract violations.

In the suit, the Jane Does allege that Top Dawg Entertainment fostered a “pervasive culture of sexual harassment,” implicating some of its most senior executives.

“This is a clear example of a shakedown…[the women] who made a demand of $48 million through their attorneys on fabricated claims and whose attorneys are looking for their ten minutes of fame. There are text messages and communications that totally refute these baseless claims. Additionally, [the women] were never employees of Top Dawg Entertainment. We are confident that we will prevail in this action,” TDE’s lawyer Marty Singer told AllHipHop.com.

One plaintiff claims she began working at the label in 2019 and was subjected to unwelcome advances and alleged sexual battery by Brandon Tiffith, TDE’s chief marketing officer, known publicly as Big B.

She also accuses the label’s president, Anthony Tiffith Jr.—nicknamed Moosa and the son of TDE founder Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith—of consistent harassment.

The first Jane Doe alleges that TDE failed to fulfill its contractual obligations for the work she completed.

Meanwhile, the second Jane Doe describes multiple incidents of sexual misconduct by staff at TDE while she was on the job. She also claims she was pressured into underage drinking for what she believes “aimed at sexual exploitation.”

Attorney Shounak Dharap of Arns Davis Law represents both women, who expressed sharp criticism of the allegations in a statement to Newsweek.

“This lawsuit presents a glaring example of the systemic abuse and exploitation in the entertainment industry,” Dharap stated. “Our clients trusted TDE to act with integrity and professionalism. Instead, their trust was betrayed in profoundly damaging ways. They’re bringing this lawsuit because they refuse to be silenced and because they intend to hold TDE accountable in court.”

Reps Top Dawg Entertainment, a fixture in the Hip-Hop world since its founding in 2004, has yet to issue a public comment on the allegations.

Matt Barnes Dragged For Allegedly Cheating With Famous Rapper’s Baby’s Mom & 7 Other Women – In January Alone

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Matt Barnes, former NBA star turned co-host of the “All The Smoke” podcast, is catching some smoke of his own from fiancée, Anansa Sims.

Sims recently publicly accused him of being unfaithful. She claimed in a social media post that Barnes cheated with as many as eight women in January, igniting a social media firestorm.

The allegations came with receipts—literally. Sims shared a detailed post listing the names and Instagram handles of the alleged women involved, pointing fingers at individuals including Masika Kalysha, reality star and mother of rapper Fetty Wap’s child, and author Porsche Thomas.

Her viral post laid out a series of alleged events, including a “Denver trip” in January, and went so far as to claim some of the relationships spanned six or seven years.

“I once loved a man so much that I was fixing him while he was breaking me,” Sims wrote in the emotional post. “Why Matt? 8 different women in January.”

The post ended on a rather sad note: “Y’all can have him.”

The couple’s relationship has long been a rollercoaster, with its fair share of public ups and downs.

Barnes and Sims first crossed paths during their college days at UCLA. They reconnected in 2018 after mutual friend Shaya Bryant—sister of the late Kobe Bryant—reintroduced them at NBA All-Star Weekend.

Their romance took off quickly, leading to two sons (Ashton, born in 2018, and Austin, born in 2024) and a public engagement in December 2022.

But their love story has also seen its share of drama.

In 2020, Sims filed a restraining order against Barnes, a moment that many thought would end their relationship. However, the pair reconciled, launching a reality show, The Barnes Bunch, showcasing their family.

But this latest wave of allegations might end their relationship once and for all.

Barnes, who has become a major player in podcasting with “All The Smoke,” a series he co-hosts with former NBA player Stephen Jackson, now finds his personal life in turmoil.

Masika starred on “Love & Hip Hop” with Fetty Wap> Her comment section is currently being overrun by Internet trolls.

“I’m here because of the list! Are you?? 👀👀,” one user said. Another wrote: “Are you and Matt Barnes going out for VDAY???”

Big Boy Credits Will Smith For Helping Him Lose Hundreds Of Pounds After Clairvoyant Moment

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

A conversation between Big Boy and Will Smith nearly 25 years ago has taken on a profound significance in both of their lives today.

During a recent radio interview, the pair reflected on a pivotal exchange that inspired Big Boy to embark on a transformative health journey.

“We were having just this kind of conversation, and when we got off air, I remember you spoke with me,” he said to Smith. “You asked me, ‘Big, how old are you?’ And then you said, ‘What about your health? What about your heart? What about your life?’”

At the time, Big Boy dismissed the seriousness of the questions, believing he was content with his weight. However, Smith’s words lingered.

“I was so happy in the skin I was in,” Big Boy admitted. “But then I realized I wasn’t as happy as I thought. If I didn’t do something, I felt like I was gonna be dead in a year.”

Smith’s concern didn’t end with that conversation. He followed up by challenging Big Boy to a weight loss competition where they agreed to donate $1,000 per pound lost to charity.

“We did $1,000 per pound, and I lost 111 pounds,” Big Boy shared. “Will stayed with it, checking in with me every week. And when I lost 111 pounds, he donated $111,000 to charity.”

Smith recalled his side of the story, explaining how he was compelled to act during their interview due to a premonition he had, which he says has guided his life since he was a child.

“I was sitting there, and I just heard this whisper in my spirit that said, ‘He’s not gonna make it.’ And I couldn’t avoid it,” Smith said. “So I just said it in that moment, that I wanted him to take on this challenge. And to see where he is now, keeping that weight off for decades, is incredible.”

Smith praised Big Boy for his perseverance, acknowledging the emotional and physical challenges that come with such a journey.

“The amount of changes you had to make to sustain that for decades and not slip back into emotional habits—that’s the height of humanity for me,” Smith emphasized. “To me, that’s the highest of what I want to do in this world.”

At one point, the famed radio host weighed over 500 pounds.

“Being comfortable, I could accommodate 500 pounds,” Big Boy said in the 2018 interview. “If I wanted to drive, I would drive a bigger car. If I wanted a suit, I would get a suit made.”

However, he managed to lose 300 pounds after having what’s known as Duodenal Switch, which is a bariatric surgery that removes 70% of the stomach. Big Boy recounted how the life-changing conversation began after a routine interview.

Watch the touching exchange in the post above.

Grammy Awards Snag Hip-Hop Heavyweights Cardi B, Will Smith, Queen Latifah As Presenters

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Cardi B, Taylor Swift, and Queen Latifah are just a few of the A-list names taking the spotlight at the 67th annual Grammy Awards, set to captivate audiences live from Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 2.

Once again hosted by Trevor Noah, the Grammy Awards have promised to double down on its commitment to support Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts. The Recording Academy announced an A-list roster of presenters who will grace the Grammy stage.

Joining Cardi B, Swift, and Queen Latifah are musical icons such as SZA, Will Smith, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo and Victoria Monét.

Alongside them, an equally powerful lineup of performers has been confirmed, including Billie Eilish, Stevie Wonder, Shakira, Brad Paisley, and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, to name just a few.

This year’s Grammys aren’t just about music—they’re about making a difference.

A portion of the event’s proceeds will be directed toward aiding wildfire relief initiatives in Los Angeles, with a nod to the courageous first responders who have put their lives on the line to safeguard communities.

The Recording Academy and MusiCares are already making strides, having distributed over $4 million in emergency financial aid to members of the music industry impacted by the crisis since the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort was launched on January 9.

Driven by these charitable efforts, the traditional Grammy Week schedule has been significantly trimmed down to ensure maximum impact.

While the wildfires have cast a shadow over the city, the Grammys aim to bring hope and celebration in equal measure.

With a medley of genres—spanning pop, rap, country, rock, and soul—the evening is shaping up to be a reflection of the music industry’s power to unite and uplift.

Could 50 Cent’s Cryptic Warning Spell Doom For Big Meech & Rick Ross?

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

UPDATE! 50 just said this on IG! Basically, this whole thing is over.

Well, it looks like all hell is about to break loose.

I knew this was coming. Rick Ross and former BMF head honcho Big Meech got together to celebrate his return with a big bash in Sunrise, Florida.

They promoted it well, and a bunch of other artists are showing up to celebrate his homecoming, too.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Rick Ross (@richforever)

As soon as I saw this materializing, I knew it would rub 50 Cent the wrong way! And now, 50 Cent has finally spoken!

On Instagram, he posted something cryptic, but it appears he’s planning to do a documentary on BMF. Now, why would he do that?

Unlike a TV show, a documentary is about telling all the facts, while a TV series is definitely an exaggerated portrayal of real events. Big Meech is home now, but things are complicated.

One of the biggest whispers floating around in back rooms, pool halls, and bars is that maybe—just maybe—he cooperated somewhere along the way.

I didn’t make this up, but I’ve heard it from people in the know several times. If you look online, you will see that there seems to be information and evidence pointing in that direction.

Now, it looks like this documentary might dig into and expose some of these stories. I don’t know for sure if that’s what will happen, but it certainly feels that way.

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

We also have to remember that Terry, aka Southwest T, was affiliated with Supreme McGriff’s son. And we already know how much 50 Cent hates Preme.

If you don’t know, you might wanna hop on Google and do some research!

Anyway, this is all coming to a head, and I think it’s gonna get really ugly. Some folks believe this could even lead to the demise of the BMF series as we know it!

This could actually be the end of everything related to BMF. That seems wild to me because BMF is a hit show, a hit song, and a legendary crew in the streets.

But all of this drama seems like it’s on course to explode in a way we’ve never seen before. 50 Cent is a live wire and completely unpredictable. Big Meech is a street legend just coming home after an extended bid.

This whole situation feels like a ticking time bomb. Honestly, I don’t see how anything can go right—because everything about it screams wrong!

Let me know what you think in the comments!

Finesse2tymes Denies Threatening Woman And 11-Year-Old Rapper Lil King

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Finesse2tymes has denied serious allegations in Texas, where authorities have issued a warrant for his arrest following claims he directed terroristic threats toward a woman involved in the life of his Godson and former protégé, an 11-year-old boy known as Lil King.

Court documents obtained by TMZ state the incident unfolded on October 23 in the Humble, Texas community near Will Clayton Parkway.

Police were called to the scene after a woman, who reportedly acts as King’s guardian, accused the rapper and his brother of making menacing threats outside a local smoke shop.

Tension between the two parties appears to have stemmed from a custody dispute involving the child, whose full name remains private.

The situation between Finesse2tymes and young King has reportedly soured recently, following a fallout between mentor and mentee.

King has been vocal about their strained relationship, claiming Finesse2tymes attempted to mold him into a persona he wasn’t comfortable with.

In a video circulating online, King said, “You came and got me for who I am, and then you’re gonna try to change me for who I am.”

According to the arrest warrant, the altercation began when King and his guardian stopped by the smoke shop that afternoon to pick up the woman’s grandchild.

At some point, King was instructed to go inside and speak with Finesse2tymes, who had requested the encounter.

Moments later, King allegedly fled back to the car in what the woman described as a “panic,” yelling, “They trying to send me back to Memphis.”

The woman claims the rapper, accompanied by his brother, pursued them outside.

She alleges the situation escalated when Finesse2tymes’ brother made threatening remarks and gestured toward his waistband, which, according to the report, appeared to contain a firearm.

The court filing states Finesse2tymes shouted, “YOU GONNA DIE ON CAMERA TODAY,” a remark the woman said made her fear for her life.

The guardian quickly drove away with Lil King and four other children in the car. She later told police she believes Finesse2tymes is capable of following through on his alleged threats.

“[Finesse2tymes] did not threaten the complainant in any way. We are confident this matter will be resolved justly once the state of Texas applies the applicable law to the facts,” his lawyer, Carl A. Moore, said in a statement.

Authorities still want to apprehend Finesse2tymes over the allegations.

Did Roc Nation Lay Everybody Off?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

I wonder what’s going on at Roc Nation. Let’s start off with some confirmed news.

Jay-Z and Roc Nation recently entered into a long-term partnership with a Korean music royalty trading platform. They’re helping the company launch in the United States, and it’s all set to unfold in the next few months.

This initiative will allow people to invest in songs, essentially taking ownership in music the same way they would with stocks. That sounds pretty dope to me! Maybe the common person can get in on the action. I have seen others with similar concepts, but it never quite caught on.

EXCLUSIVE: JAY-Z Doubles Down To Have “Reputation Destroying” Claims Thrown Out

Now, there is another twist, but this one is based on rumors. I’m hearing that there’s more going on behind the scenes at Roc Nation.

Reports suggest that a major round of layoffs has occurred, with some sources claiming that almost the entire staff has been let go.

Obviously, not everyone is gone, as deals are still being made. Jay Brown, the vice chairman, is still active in pushing the business forward. However, it seems that people on the artist side of things have been let go, and there’s chatter that Roc Nation’s label division might be winding down.

A post shared by HitsOnFye Worldwide (@hitsonfye)

That being said, layoffs and restructurings aren’t unusual, especially in today’s shifting music landscape.

Record labels and entertainment institutions are leaning more into technology as the foundation of their business models. This shift is reshaping how people consume music. Back in the day, music was seen as a singular source of inspiration, something deeply rooted in emotion and soul.

Now, it feels increasingly like a commodity. We can’t tell if music is just a product shaped by algorithms, artificial intelligence, and auto-tune or artistic expression. The human touch is fading and not hitting like it used to, at least commercially.

EXCLUSIVE: JAY-Z’s Effort To Crush Jane Doe’s Claims Challenged By “Detective” Backed Investigation

One thing is clear: Roc Nation is still moving forward. Whatever changes are happening internally, they aren’t stopping the company from expanding into new business. Also, what will Kendrick do at the Super Bowl? That was Roc Nation rocking the nation! Let’s go!

6ix9ine’s Jewelry Up Next On IRS Auction Block

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

6ix9ine is making headlines again amid news of his IRS-seized assets valuables being auctioned off.

Newsweek reports that the IRS has listed several high-value pieces of 6ix9ine’s jewelry for sale through LiveAuctioneers, a platform authorized by the government to recover unpaid taxes.

Among the standout items is the infamous “Bruce the Shark” diamond pendant, modeled after the character from Finding Nemo. Crafted by Jimmy Boi Jewelers, the pendant weighs a staggering 118 carats and features 16 carats of trillion-cut diamonds for the shark’s teeth.

Covered in 102 carats of diamonds, the piece is made from 10-karat white gold. The back bears Hernandez’s signature “69” alongside the phrases “Done Right” and “#Teamdoneright.”

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Despite its opulent design, the pendant shows signs of wear, with cracks and damage on the backside. It gained fame for appearing in several of the rapper’s music videos, including “Gooba” and “Trollz” featuring Nicki Minaj.

In addition to his flashy jewelry, 6ix9ine’s 2017 Bentley Continental GT Speed and 2019 Lamborghini Urus were also sold at a government auction in July 2024. According to a previous AllHipHop report, the U.S. General Services Administration recorded an $85,500 winning bid for the Bentley and $175,043 for the Lamborghini.

Both vehicles featured the rapper’s signature paint-splattered design. While the Bentley required significant repairs, including shattered windows, a damaged windshield, and a torn convertible top, the Lamborghini remained in good condition, boasting just over 49,000 miles.

The vehicles were seized in April following 6ix9ine’s arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend in the Dominican Republic. Authorities apprehended the rapper in January over the December 2023 incident, during which he reportedly spent over a week in jail before being conditionally released.

This latest legal drama adds to the rapper’s extensive criminal record, which includes a 2015 conviction for the use of a child in a sexual performance and a 2019 guilty plea to racketeering and firearms charges for his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. Despite cooperating with authorities and testifying against his former associates, 6ix9ine continues to face legal troubles and financial fallout.

The Game Calls Out Donald Trump For Ignoring Altadena Fire Victims 

By: London JennnCategory: News

The Game has criticized Donald Trump for overlooking the town of Altadena in his response to the recent Los Angeles wildfires.  

The veteran rapper has been using his platform to raise awareness about the impact of the fires, particularly in areas he feels have been overlooked by media and government attention.  

The Game took to Instagram earlier this week with a video showing the devastating to the region. He called out Trump and the media for visiting affected areas in the affluent Pacific Palisades last Friday (January 24), but not Altadena. 

“I think President Trump went over to the affected areas of Pacific Palisades, but he didn’t make his way to Altadena,” he said. “I’m not telling President Trump what he has to do or what he should do or nothing like that, but let’s not forget about Altadena.”

The Game also addressed Donald Trump during an interview with TMZ. 

“Obviously Trump came to see the Palisades Fire. And again, everyone affected needs hearts, but these people are just as important,” he added. “I think that President Trump and anybody else that is running the country need to come down here and do their due diligence here as well.” 

The Game Joins Relief Efforts

The Game has been actively involved in wildfire relief efforts, working tirelessly to distribute supplies to firefighters on the frontlines. He’s also worked to help get aid to affected residents and assist with animal rescue operations.

The L.A. native pushed back the release of his upcoming album, The Documentary 3, originally set to release on January 18. 

He recently paid tribute to everyone involved in the relief efforts in a candid social media post. 

“I can’t forget the amount of care, dedication, work & love every one from near and far poured into what has been the longest 2 1/2 weeks of devastation in my city that I’ve ever witnessed in my adult life,” he shared. “If you prayed, donated, posted, shared stories or just took time out of your day to spread love for us all here in the city during this time… I truly “THANK YOU” from the bottom of my heart.”

Diamond D Weighs In On Latinos’ Contributions To Hip-Hop Debate & New Album, “DUO”

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Features

Hip-Hop legend Diamond D isn’t one to shy away from tough conversations, and he recently tackled the polarizing debate about Latino contributions to Hip-Hop while also dropping gems about his latest project, The Diam Piece 3: DUO. Speaking with AllHipHop, the Bronx-born pioneer gave a nuanced take on the issue while paying homage to the shared roots of Black and Puerto Rican communities in the South Bronx, where Hip-Hop was born.

“Latinos were definitely there from the beginning,” Diamond D said. “Did they start Hip-Hop? No, they didn’t. If you look at elements like spinning records and cutting breaks, even someone like Charlie Chase, who you can find on flyers from the late ’70s, he’ll tell you himself that he first saw it with Black people. But we all lived together in the South Bronx. We were neighbors—Puerto Ricans and Black folks—and shared the same spaces.”

Addressing cultural tensions, including the controversial use of the N-word, Diamond D offered context while emphasizing the need for unity.

“In the South Bronx or even the Tri-State area, I’ve seen Puerto Ricans use that word towards each other, not even referencing Black people,” he said. “That was part of the vernacular in those communities. Is it right? No, but it’s the reality I grew up in.”

Diamond D made it clear there’s a distinction between creating Hip-Hop and participating in its early days.

“Puerto Ricans were there, no question,” he said. “They contributed, but there’s a difference between creating and participating. That’s where some people get it twisted.”

Staying Authentic in Hip-Hop’s Evolution

Switching gears, Diamond D shared details about his latest album, Duo, the second installment in his The Diam Piece 3 series. The album features a star-studded lineup, including Nems, B-Real, Everlast, Camp Lo, Kardinal Offishall, Peedi Crakk, and Saigon. Even Dr. Dre-affiliated legend Focus from the West Coast is included on the project.

The standout single, “The Sound of New York (TSNY),” featuring Nems, Saigon, and T from the Bronx, is already making waves. “It’s got that gritty, classic New York City feel,” he said. “A lot of artists today feel pressure to conform, but I’m not about that. I keep it authentic.”

Diamond D reflected on how the industry has shifted, with algorithms and social media now driving Hip-Hop’s discovery. “Back in the day, it was the streets, radio, and community events. Now, people discover Hip-Hop through Spotify algorithms, the internet, or social media. But for me, staying true to my roots is what keeps my music authentic.”

With Duo, Diamond D hopes to strike a balance between honoring Hip-Hop’s origins and resonating with today’s audience. “I want people to feel that authentic New York vibe. I’m not chasing trends—I’m preserving the sound and culture I came up in. That’s the foundation of this project.”

Conor McGregor Targets UFC Foe In Manic Tweet With Racial Slurs & Offensive Stereotypes

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Conor McGregor’s latest social media outburst has sparked widespread outrage and reignited scrutiny of his past controversial rhetoric.

The former UFC lightweight champion unleashed a series of racist and inflammatory comments targeting longtime rival Khabib Nurmagomedov on January 31.

In a now-deleted post, McGregor attacked Nurmagomedov, his family, and their culture all while using multiple racial epithets for Black people.

The tirade included bizarre and offensive remarks about Nurmagomedov’s family, such as, “Show yo wife n*gga,” and “Show yo kids n*gga. Cousin f##### muthaf*ckin hidin muthaf*cker.”

McGregor continued with references to Irish youth wanting to “compete” against Nurmagomedov’s children.

The two fighters have a contentious history dating back to their infamous 2018 bout, which ended with Nurmagomedov’s victory and a post-fight brawl that led to suspensions for both athletes.

Nurmagomedov retired in 2020 after an undefeated career, citing the death of his father and coach as the reason for his early departure from the sport.

McGregor’s latest comments come amid mounting legal troubles.

Recently, he was found liable for a sexual assault in Dublin and ordered to pay $250,000 to accuser Nikita Hand. McGregor has vowed to appeal the verdict, insisting that the encounter was consensual.

This case is one of several allegations of sexual misconduct McGregor has faced, although he has not been convicted in other instances.

Adding to the chaos, McGregor reignited his feud with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Following the verdict in McGregor’s sexual assault case, Paul taunted him on social media, writing, “Dan hits his wife. Conor’s convicted of rape. But I’m the bad guy?”

McGregor retaliated in a now-deleted post, calling Paul a “gay little nerd” followed by a laughing emoji.

Xzibit, who signed with McGregor’s newly launched Greenback Records last year, shared insights into what makes their collaboration unique and why he stands by the MMA superstar despite his recent legal and personal issues in an interview earlier this month.

When discussing McGregor’s personal character, Xzibit acknowledged the controversies surrounding the fighter but made it clear where he stands.

“I gotta look at it like this; If you can’t stay down with the people in their dark times, you don’t deserve to stand up with them in the light,” Xzibit stated. “From what I’ve seen, the dude is doing the best he can. Great businessman too. His whiskey’s huge.”

GloRilla Says No More Lovin’ For Life!

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Who hurt GloRilla?! She just declared that she hates men and is going to be celibate for the rest of her life!

I don’t know what happened, but it’s sad to say that somebody did her so dirty that she’s now proclaiming she’ll never be in a relationship.

Based on what I know about her, it seems like something really catastrophic must have happened. Then again, we don’t know the full context or who the other person is. My most prophetic thought? This won’t last—because, let’s be real, she doesn’t seem like the type to completely disengage from relationships or interactions.

SHE SAID THIS LAST YEAR!:
GloRilla Saving Herself For Marriage Following Pregnancy Prank 

Another thing that stands out is that she definitely has a type. And it seems like “that type” keeps violating her as a human being. Maybe she just needs to switch things up and choose differently.

In therapy, they call that having a good “picker.” That way, she might actually find someone who treats her right. I don’t know her personally, but I do know that people tend to attract what they put out into the world. That’s a whole other conversation, but in the meantime, the internet is frying her.

It’s like she needed a perm, and she got it!

Anyway, what do you think about all this? I think she should give a broke dude a shot!

GloRilla Refuses To Be Trapped By Men Trying To Impregnate Her, Wants Surrogate 

By the way, GloRilla did a lot of great things last year—she was at the top of our list. All we need from her now is to keep making good music. If this heartbreak inspires some new material, we might get some more dope music as she continues to grow.

YFN Lucci Reunited With Family In Emotional Post-Prison Release Music Video

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

YFN Lucci is once again a free man and has returned to his family’s warm embrace, following his lengthy prison sentence.

On Friday (January 31), YFN Lucci shared a string of Instagram posts celebrating his release from prison after being behind bars since January 2021.

In a pair of Instagram Story posts, the Atlanta rapper shared intimate clips of his first encounters with his children and other immediate family members after pulling up straight from the correctional facility in a fleet of luxury Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUVs.

In a follow up post he shared on his feed, Lucci gave fans an even deeper glimpse into his homecoming in a visual for what will presumably be his first post-prison release.

Along with additional footage of his tearful reunion with family, the track also included a touching message from one of Lucci’s children.

”What’s up, dad I just wanna let you know that I love you,” his kid says tenderly, “I’m praying for you. I think about you every day. I miss you and I can’t wait to see you.”

The comments section of the post was flooded with congratulatory reactions from many of Lucci’s peers such as Pusha T, Blac Youngsta, Hitmaka, Pastor Troy and many others.

“Welcome home,” D.C. Young Fly wrote in a comment while rapper Posa added, “Hell yeah Bolo back.”

Boosie Badazz also reacted to Lucci’s release by posting a video of his daughter’s hilarious viral rant from years ago when she exclaimed, “I told y’all n*ggas, y’all thought I was playin’ but I told y’all n*ggas. He comin’ home today.” In the tweet he shared with the video, Boosie tagged YFN Lucci and wrote, “I miss my child smh,” along with several crying laughing smiley face emojis.

Lucci was charged with multiple offenses, including felony murder, aggravated assault and participation in criminal street gang activity. Last January he pleaded guilty as a part of a plea deal and received a 20-year sentence. While the judge granted YFN Lucci time served and parole eligibility within months, he remained behind bars for the entirety of 2024.

Drake Goes Viral Doing Karaoke In Australia

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Drake belted out some of his biggest hits during an intimate karaoke session in Melbourne, setting the tone for his highly anticipated Australian “Anita Max Win Tour,” his first visit Down Under since 2017.

Stepping into a laid-back Melbourne bar, the Canadian Hip-Hop star performed tracks like “Rich Baby Daddy” to an audience filled with starstruck patrons.

The unexpected performance, shared on Drake’s Instagram account, also included his renditions of fan-favorite tracks such as “Trust Issues,” “Faithful,” and “Pipe Down.”

The night seemed more like a warm-up for his tour than a casual outing as the rapper previewed what fans can expect from the artist’s packed Australian itinerary set to kick off in early February.

Drake’s upcoming “Anita Max Win Tour” is a nod to his “alter ego,” “Anita Max Wynn,” whom Drake humorously introduced during a December 2023 live stream.

The character’s name riffs off the gambling/internet-meme, “I need a max win.”

Initially set to begin on February 9 in Melbourne, booming demand prompted the addition of an earlier show on February 4 in Perth at the RAC Arena.

The six-city tour, Drake’s first in Australia since his “Boy Meets World Tour” in 2017, includes stops in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland, New Zealand.

The tour comes off the massive success of his North American “It’s All A Blur Tour,” which sold out a staggering 80 shows.

Drake arrived in Australia last week and started posting photos of himself. A picture of him stepping off his private jet gave fans a first glimpse, followed by snapshots of him dining at Nobu with close friends.

The dates for Drake’s “Anita Max Win Tour” are listed below:

February 4 – RAC Arena, Perth

February 9-10 – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne

February 16-17 – Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney

February 24-25 – Brisbane Entertainment Centre

February 28-March 1 – Spark Arena, Auckland

Offset Accused Of Taunting Cardi B Using Nicki Minaj’s Favorite Meme 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Offset caused controversy with a recent social media post, sharing an explicit meme featuring a character favored by his estranged wife Cardi B’s longtime rival, Nicki Minaj. 

Minaj is known for frequently using Chucky memes from the Child’s Play franchise as cryptic reactions on social media. So when an explicit image surfaced on Offset’s feed, depicting the infamous doll engaged in a sex act with a female character from the movies, social media users had plenty to say. 

X/Offset

Many speculated that Offset used the Chucky meme to take a jab at Cardi B, with some linking it to her recent intimate piercing. Others, however, suggested he was subtly hinting at a possible reconciliation with the mother of his youngest children. 

“Taunting your wife using a tactic from her nemesis is…… wow,” one said. “But I don’t like her so continue.” 

Another said, “Not surprised. Offset’s always had a thing for Nicki.” 

A third implied both Cardi B and Offset are obsessed with Nicki Minaj. “As soon as nicki use chucky here yall go. WOW its shocking to see how much nicki lives in yalls head,” they noted. “Like she really is you and your entire ex families life you should be so embarrassed.” 

Cardi B Slams Offset In Heated Rant

Offset and Cardi B’s tumultuous divorce has increasingly played out on social media in recent months. 

Just weeks ago, the mother of three publicly called out Offset, accusing him of being spiteful towards her and their children out of sheer resentment. 

“You want to talk about, ‘Oh, you haven’t accepted the divorce because you’re not gonna agree on my terms because you just want to see the kids,’ you just called your daughter for the first time this year yesterday,” Cardi revealed. “You love your kids so much, and you bought them s### for Christmas, but you came to New York to buy your other kids gifts and bought my kids s### on purpose to spite me.” 

Speaking during an X Spaces broadcast, she also claimed Offset and his mother stole from her.  

EST Gee Recalls Shocking Encounter With Officer Involved In Breonna Taylor’s Death

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

EST Gee has revealed that he encountered the officer involved in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor in 2020 well before he was legally an of age adult.

On Friday (January 31), the Create Music Group (CMG) signee appeared in an interview with The Breakfast Club to promote his latest album I Ain’t Feeling You, which includes features from Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Veeze and Rylo Rodriguez across 12 tracks. Among the numerous topics covered during the conversation was EST Gee’s native hometown of Kentucky. As he began speaking about the temperament of the Midwestern city, he quickly sidestepped to reference Taylor’s shooting death.

“Kentucky’s like one of them places like, it’s like an old school, I don’t want to say crooked because I still got to be up around through there,” EST Gee said in part.

As he continued to make his way through his measured statement, EST Gee shared a harrowing anecdote about former Louisville Metro Police Officer Brett Hankinson. The former officer faced three counts of wanton endangerment in 2020 for firing into a neighboring apartment during the unlawful no-knock warrant raid that resulted in Taylor’s death while she slept. Believe it or not, EST Gee says he was also on the firing end of the barrel of Hankinson’s gun once before as a prepubescent youth.

“Y’all remember the Breonna Taylor stuff?” he questioned the hosts. “And uh, y’all remember Hankison? The, the sheriff—the one that, the one that killed her. He, he, he walked me home at gunpoint when I was like 10 years old in my granny’s apartment”

As he continued to describe the encounter, EST Gee alluded to individual’s like Hankinson being apart of the longstanding issues with law enforcement in his community.

“He notorious for what he did,” he declared. “But it’s a bunch of them though that’s like that, you know what I’m saying? Like that’s a thing in, in Kentucky, like Hankinson, Brett Hankinson.”

In March 2022, Hankison was acquitted of all charges after a jury trial. The prosecution argued that his actions were dangerous and reckless, while the defense maintained that he was responding to gunfire from Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who believed intruders were breaking into the apartment. No officer, including Hankison, was criminally charged directly for Breonna Taylor’s death, sparking widespread protests and calls for justice.

EXCLUSIVE: YE Ends Long-Running Dispute With Bishop Over Song Theft

By: Mike WinslowCategory: Exclusives

Ye and the pastor who sued him over alleged copyright infringement have officially called it quits in the courtroom.

On Thursday (January 30), a judge dismissed the case with prejudice, effectively closing the book on a lawsuit that accused the Hip-Hop icon of lifting portions of a sermon for his song “Come to Life.”

The lawsuit was initially brought by Bishop David Paul Moten against Ye, along with Def Jam Recordings, UMG Recordings, Inc., and G.O.O.D. Music claimed that a significant portion of Moten’s 2011 sermon, “Thank God for Saving Me.”

The sermon was sampled in “Come to Life” from Ye’s 2021 album Donda.

In the suit filed on June 30, 2023, the bishop alleged that approximately 70 seconds of the sermon were used without his authorization or compensation.

The sampled portions reportedly accounted for 20% of the track and included the heartfelt phrase: “My soul cries out, ‘Hallelujah,’ And I thank God for saving me.”

The lawsuit alleged copyright infringement, unjust enrichment, and conversion, claiming Kanye West and his collaborators unfairly profited from Moten’s sermon.

Moten further pursued damages, including disgorgement of profits and statutory penalties.

According to court filings, both the plaintiff and defendants signed a stipulation agreeing to dismiss the case, eliminating the need for a court order.

Moten sought to end the dispute with prejudice, meaning he cannot refile the lawsuit in the future. Ye did not object.

Terms of the deal, if any, were not released.

Tyler, The Creator, Headed to the Super Bowl? Fans Think So

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Rumors

Is Tyler, The Creator and some special guests going to rush the stage at the Super Bowl with Kendrick Lamar?

It makes sense after his post on social media.

Fans are piecing together breadcrumbs after Tyler dropped a cryptic post with just one word: “STICKY…”

The video that went along with the post shows a bunch of football players and Tyler, The Creator, marching to his song “Sticky,” which features Sexyredd, GloRilla and Lil Wayne.

This would be an epic move if Kendrick actually brought out Lil Wayne at Super Bowl LIX, considering the uproar over the fact that Weezy felt slighted over not being picked to perform in his hometown.

However, if the Young Money boss takes the stage with Kendrick, it would almost certainly be the end of his relationship with Drake – K. Dot’s mortal enemy.

Naturally, the internet went into full detective mode and the leading theory? He’s popping up alongside Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show.
