Soooooo….Soulja Boy’s Guns Were Fake?

By: yourfavenightmareCategory: RumorsDecember 21, 2016

WHERE IS YOUR O.G., SB?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Damn. This is where it goes to, huh? Cats threatening life all on social media with fake guns? The charges against Soulja Boy were dropped, not because he had a fancy-dancing lawyer! NO, the charges were dropped because he was beefing with Quavo of The Migos with fake firearms. Now, I am not one that hopes he’s waving a real gun and going to really kill people. But, I don’t G with faking either. I think dudes need to make happy music and be nerds.

Even Meek Mill had jokes!

No shame in that.

AGAIN,WHERE IS YOUR O.G.?

By: Kisha MCategory: MusicDecember 21, 2016

Directed by Yung Mik3, Zoey Dollaz and Blac Youngsta take fans on a rap journey that started from the bottom or rather, “From the Mud.” According to Zoey, “This song represents all the struggles that I went through and overcame in my life. When I say I got this “From The Mud”, I really mean that my success comes from the ground up. It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t given to me. I had to earn my way here to this point and I still think I’ve got a lot more to earn. So therefore, I remain grounded and humble regardless of all my successes. My ambition far exceeds my current status. I have way more goals to accomplish and achieve. This song is simply my way of saying to everyone, you can have whatever you desire if you are willing to earn it “From The Mud” without taking shortcuts.” Check out the full-length video below.

Has Chris Brown Finally Found A Karrueche Replacement

By: ClassicOneCategory: RumorsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop Rumors) They say most men have a type, and this certainly seems to be true for Chris Brown.

Ever since Breezy & Karrueche broke up, Brown has been linked to a few women despite the fact that he has tried to be “fake private” with his relationships and love life.

Well one of his women was said to be Krista Santiago, as they ignited dating rumors two months ago. Word on the street is that the two are indeed a couple.

Krista took to Snap Chat to share the rolex and cake that C Breezy bought her for her birthday. They were also spotted partying the night away at a few clubs.

Chris Brown, and Omarion were spotted partying with Love & Hip Hop’s Lyrica Anderson for her birthday also, and right beside Lyrica was none other than Miss Krista!

To add to the speculation, Chris has been caught a time or two liking many of the model’s Instagram posts.

Hey if Breezy likes it, we love it. Karrueche was hotter though.

BZZY Addresses Middle East Turmoil With “Letters From Syria” (AUDIO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: MusicDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop News) The rapper formerly known as Bizzy Crook has changed his name, but the Florida native is continuing to put out music under the name BZZY.

Tidal premiered a new song from BZZY titled “Letters From Syria.”

The track addresses the tragic turmoil taking place in the Middle East country.

Syria has been engaged in a bloody civil war since 2011, and over 470,000 people have reportedly been killed since the conflict began.

“As an artist with a platform, no matter how big or small, it’s important to speak for those without a voice,” states BZZY.

“Letters From Syria” is the latest example of a performer using Tidal to focus on pertinent issues.

Beyoncé, Jay Z, Damian Marley, Yasiin Bey, The Lox, T.I., and others have presented social or political themed art on the streaming platform.

Is Azealia Banks’ Recent Loss Another Reason Why She Snapped On Nicki Minaj?

By: ClassicOneCategory: RumorsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop Rumors) Azealia Banks has to get some help!

The Nicki Minaj shade definitely wasn’t the only #PostAndDelete files that Banks had on her Facebook yesterday.

The rapper also shared (and deleted) that she’d recently suffered a miscarriage.

Banks says she shared her own experience in hopes to get feedback on how to cope with the loss from others who had also experienced miscarriages.

“So I’ve just had a really major life event happen and I want to talk about it because this wouldn’t be an Azealia Banks page without loads of oversharing right?

Anywho, I’ve just had a miscarriage and am pretty taken aback by it all and really confused and in shock and guilty and a bit depressed and like a failure and very ashamed.

The self-loathing bit is a real struggle for me at the moment so share any words here. They will be greatly appreciated,” posted Banks.

Azealia went on to beg for participation from her followers. Some of her followers even told her that she has to stop sharing her private business publicly.

“This is a women’s health issue that many others may or may not be able to relate to. Please don’t f–k UP an opportunity for clear, open and beneficial discourse between WOMEN!”

“I’m fine. Obviously not every women has had a miscarriage and that coupled with the fact that my psychiatrist is a male …. wellllp. No one else in my family has had that and reading accounts on the web isn’t enough,” replied Banks.

Many fans stated that they believed that her miscarriage was a blessing in disguise because she isn’t stable enough to take care of herself, therefore she certainly isn’t ready to raise a child.

We just want Banks to get help ASAP. While she claims she has a psychiatrist, it’s obvious that she needs more help. Perhaps this is another reason why Banks snapped on Nicki Minaj. Banks has already proven herself to be mentally unstable, and something like a miscarriage could definitely affect one’s psyche. While I’m never on Banks’ side, it did seem like Nicki’s video game was taking shots at Azealia though. LOL

Pusha T Continues Fight For Prison Reform With New #MySentence PSA (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Pusha T has been fighting to bring awareness to prison reform in America.

The G.O.O.D. Music president teamed with the Entertainment Consortium Collaborative Outreach Program (ECCO) for a new #MySentence public service announcement.

In the PSA, Pusha T shares the story of Norman Brown, a former inmate from a middle-class family who was punished with a mandatory minimum sentence for dealing drugs when he was in his early 20s.

Brown used his prison time to learn about the importance of self-empowerment and inspiring others as well as the impact minimum sentencing was having on a generation of African-American men.

“There’s a time when fruit is ripe and at its best,” says Brown. “But we all know the next stage is the fruit getting rotten. And what happens is that if you leave people for too long, they can become rotten. When you let us rot away, society loses out on the gifts we have to give the community and the world.”

Besides Pusha T, other artists that have participated in the #MySentence campaign include Ludacris, Monica, Tim Robbins, and Gabourey Sibide.

Celebrities were asked to read first-person testimonials from former inmates about their struggles and accomplishments in order to inspire criminal justice reform regarding mandatory minimum sentencing,

The #MySentence video series was created to raise the discussion about former inmates whose unjust sentences have been commuted by President Barack Obama.

Brown’s sentence was commuted by Obama in 2015 after he spent over 24 years behind bars.

Meek Mill Clowns Soulja Boy Over Recent Legal Troubles

By: ClassicOneCategory: RumorsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop Rumors) Meek Mill seems to be another professional troll!

MMG’s own Meek Mill is the latest rapper to poke a little fun at Soulja Boy‘s publicized weapons possession arrest.

Meek couldn’t help but to also throw some shade in good fun of Soulja Boy’s beef with Migos member Quavo.

A video has surfaced of Meek Mill jokingly saying he has to distance himself from Quavo so SB won’t pull out the guns on him.

Soulja Boy must have some serious ties in law enforcement because he keeps getting away with pure bull shhhhh. Soulja released a statement this week saying that his charges had been dropped.

Like many of today’s rappers, and today’s youth, Soulja is a misguided individual.

Remember, 50 Cent & Young Dro also poked fun at Soulja Boy’s arrest earlier this week as well.

Soulja Boy’s Gun Charges Dropped, Plans To Move Differently

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop News) There is good news for Soulja Boy.

The “Crank That” performer was arrested for allegedly violating his probation by uploading Instagram posts featuring firearms.

The gun charges against the rapper have now been dropped.

The controversial IG messages were part of SB’s weeks-long internet feuds with Lil Yachty, Southside, Shia LaBeouf, and Quavo.

Soulja even accused Quavo of calling the police on him.

“Watch how I move cuz n-ggaz droppin dimes,” wrote the 26-year-old Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star on Twitter last night.

Los Angeles authorities did receive a Crime Stoppers tip concerning Soulja Boy’s online behavior, but there has been no evidence presented that suggested Quavo was the person that contacted law enforcement.

Soulja Boy is on probation for a 2014 gun possession case and is not allowed to have firearms.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rhymer Future partnered with his mother and FreeWishes Foundation president Stephanie Jester for the 4th Annual “Winter Wishland” event.

“Winter Wishland” provided youth between the ages 2-18 in Miami and the Atlanta community of Kirkwood with food, music, games, gifts, and the opportunity to have their picture taken with Santa.

In conjunction with FreeWishes, the Ford Motor Company presented a Kashmir Thompson-created mural for Atlanta’s Bessie Branham Park.

“It means so much to be able to give back to the community that raised Future, and for Ford to support our vision of keeping art and dreams alive with the installation of this art, speaks volumes as it relates to our overall goal,” says Jester.

FreeWishes Foundation was founded by Stephanie Jester, Future, and the rapper’s sister Tia Wilburn.

The Freebandz leader was joined at “Winter Wishland” by his sons Future Zahir Wilburn and Jakobi Wilburn.

Judge Denies Game’s Request To Lower Damages In Sex Assault Lawsuit

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Rapper The Game has reportedly been denied a request to lower the damages in his sexual assault lawsuit after failing to properly file the legal papers.

The “Dreams” hitmaker was sued for $10 million by Priscilla Rainey, a contestant on his U.S. reality series “She’s Got Game,” in August, 2015.

She claimed The Game, who was allegedly drunk and under the influence of drugs at the time, assaulted her while filming a scene in a Los Angeles bar for the show, in which women competed for his affection.

The 37-year-old was seeking to have the trial delayed at the last minute, citing a bad tooth and sinus infection for the postponement, but his request was denied and he was hit with a default judgment.

Rainey was awarded a $7.1 million settlement, but last week the rapper filed a notice to appeal the ruling.

According to TMZ, The Game also filed a motion to have the settlement lowered, but the judge denied the request because he didn’t “present” the paperwork in the proper manner and reportedly left out key information needed by court officials.

The rapper will be able to re-file the motion if he chooses to proceed with the appeal.

Travis Scott Talks Being Snubbed By The Grammys (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Some observers were surprised Travis Scott’s Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight did not receive any Grammy nominations.

Scott spoke with XXL about getting snubbed by the Recording Academy.

“When the nomination list came out, I was just kinda like, ‘Man, we not on here nowhere to be found.’ It was like, Is my album non-existent?'” said Scott.

Chance The Rapper (Coloring Book), De La Soul (and the Anonymous Nobody…), Drake (Views), ScHoolboy Q (Blank Face LP), Kanye West (The Life of Pablo), and DJ Khaled (Major Key) will compete in the Best Rap Album category.

Scott appeared on Major Key, and he worked on Grammy-nominated projects by Rihanna and Justin Bieber.

“But for your own music, you want it to be your own vibe,” added the Houston representative.

Kanye West Reportedly Cancels European Leg Of ‘Saint Pablo Tour’

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop News) According to reports, Kanye West has canceled his “Saint Pablo Tour” stops in Europe.

Sources with TMZ claim West’s team informed concert promoter Live Nation the overseas dates would not take place.

Apparently, the change of plans was not that difficult to execute because tickets for the shows were not sold yet.

West was forced to cut the remaining American leg of the “Saint Pablo Tour” in November.

The rapper-producer was later hospitalized at the UCLA Medical Center, reportedly for exhaustion and mental health concerns.

Where’s Kanye? Nino Brown Blasts Kim Kardashian & Sisters

By: ClassicOneCategory: RumorsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop Rumors) Maybe it’s not what was said, perhaps it’s who said it lol.

Apparently ~~fraudulent~~ rapper Nino Brown has p##### off Kim Kardashian, meaning a Kanye West rant and attack on the rapper could be on the way.

Brown said what many believe: Dem Kardashian girls are bad luck and lack talent.

His comments sparked a nasty text message and internet beef between him and Kim K………. Now remember some local and Trick Daddy already went in on this man earlier this year.

Brown set the ‘net ablaze with his anti-Kardashian rant. He called them talentless culture vultures. He said he isn’t 21 Savage and they are around here fooling the black men and knocking them off their game.

He says Khloe Kardashian made Lamar Odom and French Montana fall off. Apparently French Montana and Tyga haven’t made any hits since becoming Kardashians. LOL. Nino also blames Kim K for making Kanye go crazy and dye his hair.

“If I could tell you something I don’t want? I don’t need no unlucky a– b–ch, I don’t want no Kardashian. You out here fooling our motherf–king black men like you the sh-t. Y’all seen what [Khloe] did to Lamar Odom. Crack kills. He was dunking the balls now he’s smoking that motherf–ker,” said Brown.

Kimmy Kakes was so upset by the video that she texted Brown asking him to take down the video or hear from her attorney.

“Delete that video now. Who in the hell u think u are to disrespect me and my family like this. Why are you attacking us. We support you and all of your grape videos. You will be hearing from our attorney if you do not remove it now,” said Kim.

Brown clearly gives zero f-cks and demanded $5 million and asks the Kardashians to stay away from black men.

We aren’t sure what triggered Nino’s attack on the Kardashians, but apparently he is fed TF up. What are your thoughts?

Rick Ross Settles A Pair Of Legal Matters

By: yourfavenightmareCategory: NewsDecember 21, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Rick Ross has managed to settle a pair of highly publicized lawsuits.

The first is a matter that dealt with the rapper’s 2014 album, Mastermind, and a relatively unknown rapper of the same name that felt the Rick Ross title infringed on his trademark.

Raul Caiz sued Ross after the rapper took on a “Mastermind” persona and named his tour the “Mastermind Tour,” among other matters. Universal Records was included in the multi-million dollar legal move.

The judge not only ruled own Ross’ favor, but completely cancelled Caiz’s trademark.

“When claims are made against our clients, we litigate them very aggressively. We are happy that the court not only ruled in Ross and Universal’s favor, but also took the extra step to cancel Plaintiff’s trademark,” said Ross’ attorney, Leron E. Rogers.

Rick Ross also settled the legal matter with an individual that suffered severe injuries inside the rapper mogul’s home.
theJasmineBRAND.com reports lawyers for Rick Ross filed docs detailing that a settlement in the year-long case had been reached with the plaintiff. All claims against Ross and his mother are dismissed as well, per the report.

John Legend Backtracks On Kanye’s Meeting With Donald Trump

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsDecember 20, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Could R&B singer John Legend be softening his stance on Donald Trump?

Earlier this week, John Legend criticized Kanye West for his meetup with Donald Trump in New York City. TMZ.com caught John Legend as he was leaving LAX, and they asked him a series of questions about Kanye’s meeting.

When asked if he would meet Trump, John Legend seemed to be on the fence.

“I don’t know,” said an uncomfortable looking John Legend.

Upon further questioning about the importance of having an open dialogue with President Trump, John Legend seemed to capitulate.

“I said it’s fine to meet with him,” John Legend said.

Earlier this week, John Legend was singing a different tune when it came to Kanye’s meeting with Trump.

In an interview with CliqueTV, John Legend blasted Kanye and called the meeting a “publicity stunt.”

“I don’t think it’s impossible to talk to him about issues, but I won’t be used as a publicity stunt,” said John Legend. “I think Kanye was a publicity stunt. I’m pretty disappointed with Kanye that he says he would have voted for Trump.”

Substitute Teacher In Virginia P##### Of Parents With Slick Rick’s Lyrics

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsDecember 20, 2016

(AllHipHop News) A substitute teacher in Suffolk County, Virginia is in hot water after handing out lyrics to a Hip-Hop classic to students.

The unnamed teacher in the Suffolk County Public School system gave the lyrics to Slick Rick’s song “A Children’s Story,” to a class of sixth graders at John F. Kennedy Middle School as a poem.

When some students informed their parents about the material they had been reading, complaints were lodged against the substitute teacher.

A representative for the Suffolk County Public School District confirmed that the lyrics were not authorized to be given to the sixth graders.

The parents were so outraged, they met with the principal of the school who said the lyrics were meant to “identify figurative language.”

Going forward, the Principal for John F. Kennedy Middle School said school officials plan to monitor their lesson plans much more closely, in addition to assignments the students receive.

“The principal met with those teachers to discuss how it was inappropriate, and they agreed it should not have been used during the lesson,” said Suffolk Public Schools Public Information Officer Bethanne Bradshaw in a statement. “School administrators will more closely monitor their lesson plans, supplemental materials, and assignments. SPS encourages teachers to be creative, but they are also expected to exercise a high degree of professional judgment in their selection and use of supplemental materials, to ensure that the use of such materials serve to both support and complement the lesson.

The principal will be sending a letter home to parents as well.”
