(AllHipHop News) Police in New York City are reviewing claims hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons raped multiple women.
The NYPD’s special victims unit detectives are reportedly looking into at least seven allegations of sexual misconduct against the Def Jam co-founder – and they are reaching out to his accusers, according to Los Angeles Times sources, ahead of a possible investigation.
Simmons stepped down from his businesses last month after two women accused him of raping them, but on Thursday (December 14) he made it clear he’s determined to clear his name as more accusers came forward in exposes published by the New York Times and Los Angeles Times.
He has also taken a lie detector test in a bid to prove he never forced himself upon his first accuser, model Keri Claussen Khalighi, in 1991, when she was 17.
According to the rap boss’ attorneys, he plans to repeat the polygraph test for allegations made by four other women – and he’ll release the results once he’s completed all the tests.
Russell and his legal team are inviting any of his accusers to also take a polygraph.
Simmons has denied the rape allegations and insists all his sexual encounters were consensual.

(AllHipHop News) The N.E.R.D reunion album was released today (December 15). No_One Ever Really Dies is the group’s first LP since 2010’s Nothing.
To promote the project, Pharrell Williams sat down with Jimmy Kimmel. The producer/performer was asked what took so long for him to reconnect with Chad Hugo and Shay Haley for a new album.
“It’s kind of like one of those things where it just hits you when it hits you,’ explained Pharrell. “I can’t just make things for myself. I’m so better at working with other people and producing/writing songs for other people, because they inspire me. I don’t inspire myself.”
He also added, “This whole entire thing, we did with our eyes closed. Not because we’re that good, but because if we would’ve had our eyes open we would have gotten distracted by all the trends and stuff that was going on. So we made this music with feeling, I think we wrote it with feeling, the visuals that we’re doing has feeling.”
In addition, N.E.R.D performed “Lemon” and “1000” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Pharrell, Chad, and Shay’s No_One Ever Really Dies features Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, André 3000, Future, Gucci Mane, Wale, M.I.A., and Ed Sheeran.

(AllHipHop News) Even after twenty years, the murder mystery surrounding Tupac Shakur still makes headlines. The latest revelation about the 1996 fatal shooting in Las Vegas comes from A&E’s Who Killed Tupac? docuseries.
TMZ reports the .40 caliber Glock that killed Tupac was discovered in the backyard of the girlfriend of a prominent Crip member that was a rival of the Hip Hop icon. Who Killed Tupac? claims a document allegedly shows Compton police booked the weapon as found property on May 30, 1998.
Apparently, the firearm was transferred to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department in 2000 when the Compton City Council disbanded its law enforcement agency. Six years later, an LASD deputy is said to have run a ballistic test and the gun was a match to the weapon that murdered Pac.
According to TMZ, a federal prosecutor assigned to the case recommended the gun not be turned over to Las Vegas investigators in order to avoid potential conspirators learning about the state of the case. The LVPD now has no clue where the gun is located, and they apparently were unaware of the supposed Compton PD document.
On Who Killed Tupac?, famed civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump shared the news of the alleged murder weapon being found with Tupac’s brother Mopreme Shakur. The finale of the six-part investigative series airs on Tuesday at 10 pm ET.

Must go above and beyond, ’cause it’s incumbent upon me, ’cause I feel somewhat responsible for the dumb little blonde girl. That motherf-cking baton twirler that got dumped in the pond.

(AllHipHop News) Rap Mogul Russell Simmons has come forward to once again defend himself multiple rape claims.
This time, instead of issuing statements, the 60-year-old Def Jam Founder decided to take a polygraph test, denying that he has raped multiple women over the past 30 years.
Earlier today, Russell Simmons took a polygraph test in hopes of clearing his name.
According to his Representatives, Russell Simmons passed his test and is asking his multiple accusers to take a lie detector test as well.
The mogul has also created the hashtag #NotMe, in hopes of clearing his name.
“Today, I begin to properly defend myself. I will prove without any doubt that I am innocent of all rape charges,” Russell Simmons wrote in a post on Instagram.
“Today, I will focus on ‘The Original Sin’ (Keri Claussen), the claim that created this insane pile on of my #MeToo. Stay tuned! We’ll share information today… And tomorrow the case of Jenny Lumet,” Russell Simmons continued. “My intention is not to diminish the #MeToo movement in anyway, but instead hold my accusers accountable. #NotMe Again, this is not a movement against or even in conjunction with #Metoo . It’s just a statement about my innocence.”
The Los Angeles Times also ran a separate story, where five women told stories of improper behavior, and worse – straight up rape.
Russell has repeatedly denied the allegations since a model named Keri Claussen Khalighi came forward on November 19th.
Since then multiple women, including screenwriter Jenny Lumet and Sheri Sher of rap group Mercedes Ladies, have claimed Russell Simmons forced them to have sex with him, exposed himself, and created a hostile, sexually charged work environment at Tantris yoga studio in Los Angeles.

(AllHipHop News) Nick Cannon isn’t keen to wed again after splitting from Mariah Carey in 2015.
The rapper, actor and former “America’s Got Talent” host wed Mariah in 2008 after a whirlwind romance, but the couple’s romance faded in 2015 and she went on to spend much of 2016 as businessman James Packer’s fiancee, before they split.
Cannon has enjoyed romance since the end of his marriage but he can’t see himself becoming a husband again – because he is “not ready yet”.
“I do have a theory, if I’m not good at something I ain’t going to keep messing it up,” he told U.S. chat show The Talk. “So relationships, my theory on it is I’d much rather look at bettering myself and having a friend, as opposed to trying to jump into something and be responsible for someone else’s happiness. I’m not ready yet.
“I still feel like I have a lot to go and my kids are my number one focus, so anything besides that I can’t really sign up for it right now.”
However, Cannon, who has six-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with Carey and son Golden with ex-girlfriend Brittany Bell, is not against adding to his brood.
“I would love more kids, who doesn’t love more kids?,” he said. “I feel like that’s our purpose – to be fruitful and multiple. I would love it, but it’s not really a focus right now. I got these three I got to raise, but then after that hopefully it all works out.”
Cannon has opened up in the past about co-parenting his children with Carey, insisting he and his ex-keep their relationship friendly for the sake of their children.
“We prioritize for the kids more than anything,” he told U.S. news show Extra in August. “That what it’s all about and just be mature adults about the situation… You put your loved ones first and really focus on what’s right.”

(AllHipHop Rumors) Boosie BadAzz is surely one entertaining and passionate rapper!
During a recent interview with DJ Vlad, he revealed that he’s not buying all of the stories from all of these alleged victims of sexual assault. He feels like it’s getting out of hand, and some of these women are lying.
“I think they starting to go with a latch on now. I don’t think everybody…. All that raping ain’t going on. Somebody lying now. Somebody is definitely lying now. Where all this rape sh-t…because people are getting paid now. People are getting paid now and compensated. A lot of people just following the train. Now I feel like a lot of it went on, but it’s getting out of hand now. Everybody didn’t do all of these rapes man….Somebody bent over and said yes. Period man. These are famous people. Some stuff probably went..but every body man. They just want the money. They settling in court. They just want the money. They don’t want to take it to court. They know they can get the money out of you. It’s a new thing. It’s starting to come back around,” said Boosie.
Boosie said that the early ’90s is coming back around as everyone is getting accused of things that they may not have done.
BadAzz says that some of these women could just be bitter women who were side chicks and now they are mad because the men have successful lives, and they never got updated to the main chick role.
What are your thoughts on Boosie’s comments? Do you think that some of these women are lying?

(AllHipHop News) Chicago Rapper Vic Mensa went to Palestine to shoot the video for his new single “We Could Be Free.”
The rapper went to one of the most troubled regions in the world, where Palestinians and Israelis have been fighting over the disputed city of Jerusalem.
The issue escalated earlier this month, when President Donald Trump moved the United States Embassy to Jerusalem.
Vic Mensa, who shot the video for “We Could Be Free” prior to Trump’s decision, said his goal with the video was to show unity with oppressed people around the world.
“I wanted to make a video to show solidarity with people struggling against oppression all over the world,” Vic Mensa explained.
“I took scenes from the military occupation of a village I visited in Palestine and juxtaposed them with racial violence in America to show how similar our struggles are and imagine a world without division,” the rapper explained.
Take a look at the video for “We Could Be Free.”
