Fans of the “Whatever You Need” performer can see him hit the stage in New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington DC beginning on the Wins And Losses release date.
(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar went above and beyond to show appreciation to one of his fans while in Dallas.
The TDE rapper was in the Texas city for his “DAMN Tour,” and he used the occasion to give back to a quadriplegic woman named Jennifer Phillips.
Phillips suffered a spinal cord injury following a 2007 car accident.
Kendrick bought her a new modified, wheelchair-accessible van.
She was also presented with a personalized signed jacket as well as other Top Dawg Entertainment merchandise.
The message on the jacket reads:
Thank you for always supporting me. Your [sic] a [sic] inspiration for me. You are strong and positive. Your [sic] kind and beautiful. For all the years of inspiring me, the least I can do is make sure your comfortable driving the city. A gift from me to you. Your [sic] always appreciated! — K. Lamar.
Phillips was attempting to raise money for a new van through GoFundMe.
Thanks to Kendrick’s gift, the campaign is now listed as complete.
Phillips shared the surprising news via her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
She wrote on IG:
So about last night… lol. If you know me or even just look in my Instagram profile for two minutes then you know I am a huge Kendrick Lamar and TDE fan/supporter for YEARS. I’ve been to every show Kendrick has had in Dallas including the first one that even he forgot about lol and one in Austin. That’s 8 shows and not including the other TDE artists shows. I was a big fan of music and concerts before my injury but I never supported and loved a label like theirs before. Of course they have great music but they are also great people. None of them have ever treated me like a stranger or a charity case lol. I didn’t meet them because I’m in a wheelchair. I just know great people (shout out to @bluethegreat for the initial in person introduction to Dot & Q). I never supported them for any benefits like this lol. Their music and shows were enough for me. But this is amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all and always will. Thank God for you Kendrick and I will continue to pray for you. And like I said, next time I’m driving myself to your show lol. Thanks to the whole team!
(AllHipHop News) News reports began circulating this week that 50 Cent broke ties with Effen Vodka after the mogul posted on Instagram about making “60M’s.”
50 returned to Instagram to clarify he is still connected with the alcoholic beverage company.
“I’m still on the brand,” he wrote in the comment section. “I just got some cake out the deal.”
Effen has not officially addressed the reports that 50 Cent sold shares of the business.

A woman alleged to be a captive of Kelly spoke out with TMZ.
“I am in a happy place in my life, and I’m not being brainwashed or anything like that,” says the woman.
The 21-year-old’s mother and father have been attempting to get in contact with her, and they claim Kelly is preventing her from speaking with her family.
“I just want everybody to know, my parents and everybody in the world, that I am totally fine. I’m happy where I’m at, and everything is okay with me,” she added. “I’ve never been held hostage or anything of that nature.”
She also acknowledged she has not spoken to her parents in about five to six months.
When asked if she is able to leave from Kelly, she refused to answer.
The R&B singer’s lawyer addressed the situation:
We can only wonder why folks would persist in defaming a great artist who loves his fans, works 24/7, and takes care of all of the people in his life. He works hard to become the best person and artist he can be. It is interesting that stories and tales debunked many years ago turn up when his goal is to stop the violence; put down the guns; and embrace peace and love. I suppose that is the price of fame. Like all of us, Mr. Kelly deserves a personal life. Please respect that.
With professional training from Aretha Franklin, Hip-Hop and R&B artist Elijah Connor is no stranger to making quality hits. Hailing from Detroit, MI, many are comparing him to Jason Derulo, Jeremih, and Usher. Check out the addictive track, Mill Ticket, that’s sure to bump through out the summer. Beyond this single and being spotted in commercials for Burger King, he’s already been featured in NY Times, LA Times, and Vibe Magazine. Take a listen.
(AllHipHop Opinion) R. Kelly is in the press again. The Chi-Town crooner – with a storied predilection for underage girls – stands accused of holding women against their will in a “sex cult.” And, IF he’s guilty, he’s probably gonna get away with it… AGAIN. SMH!
(AllHipHop News) Rapper 40 Glocc could be facing jail time after he was caught allegedly pimping a woman in Minnesota.
According to TMZ.com, 40 Glocc was busted in February, after he drove a prostitute to meet a “John” who had contacted the woman from an ad on Backpage.com.
It turns out the “John” was an undercover cop, who noticed the woman was on a live call when he made the arrest.
Cops said 40 Glocc took off in a car when he noticed the woman being busted, but they caught up with him a short time later, attempting to destroy cell phones.
40 is charged intentionally promoting the prostitution of an individual and one count of inducing an individual to practice prostitution.
(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent has been promoting Effen Vodka after every social media post for years since he took a financial interest in the alcoholic spirit.
Now, the G-Unit General has dumped the stock to a tune of $60 million, the rapper reveals on Instgram. The rapper owed a minority stake in the company.
The deal apparently took place roughly a month ago, as many people had already noticed the rapper had discontinued promoting the product.
In other news, 50 Cent has revealed that he will soon drop Street King Immortal, his oft delayed album.

(AllHipHop News) Hip-hop star DMX has insisted that he’s “not a role model” following his arrest on tax fraud charges.
The “X Gon’ Give It to Ya” hitmaker turned himself into New York authorities on Thursday, after he was slapped with 14 federal counts and accused of failing to pay $1.7 million in tax liabilities to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
DMX, real name Earl Simmons, appeared in Manhattan federal court on Friday and entered a not guilty plea.
He was freed on bail but was banned from leaving the New York area, which meant he was still able to perform at Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival on Saturday.
During his set, he seemed to reference the arrest and his other run-ins with the law by insisting to his fans that they shouldn’t aspire to be him but they can learn from his mistakes.
“One thing you can count on me for: the truth. I promise you that. If there’s one thing true, I’m not who you want to be, I’m who you should listen to,” he said in footage obtained by TMZ.com. “I ain’t a motherf##king role model. I’m not a role model alright? But you can count on me for the truth.”
During his emotional speech, he said he was “closer to God” and “I am a walking, breathing, living testament to what God can do in somebody’s life” explaining that he knows God is with him, rescuing him from every bad situation.
“(But) being closer (to God) is hard because the attacks become stronger, become much harder to fight and they last longer. But that’s how it’s always been. Joy with the pain, dark with the light, sun with the rain, but with the right perspective there can be something to gain… You just gotta get past the self-pity and look for it.”
Prosecutors have alleged that the 46-year-old attempted to hide his earnings by putting his pay checks in his manager’s’ accounts and living a cash-only existence.
DMX, who went to rehab in April, has spent multiple stints behind bars in recent years, serving time for reckless driving, driving on a suspended license, theft and drug possession charges, as well as parole violation and failure to pay child support.

(AllHipHop Rumors) Issa lot going on in the world of Rob Kardashian & Blac Chyna.
I don’t even know what to believe with anything Kardashian or Blac Chyna-related.
Anyway, Blac Chyna’s sidepiece, Ferrari, is still telling it all in regards to his alleged fling with Chyna!
Ferrari claims that Blac Chyna is the one that slid up in his DM, and that message lead to him smashing!
Now Rob has claimed that Ferrari hit him up trying to get a payout, but Ferrari claims that Rob actually hit his baby mama up first, then he reached out trying to see if Rob was looking for him.
According to Ferrari, Rob Kardashian promised him $1 million tax-free to stop messing around with Blac Chyna.
Ferrari claims that he lied to Rob by telling him that he never even messed with Blac Chyna, but Rob decided to take to social media going off on everyone involved regardless.
This dude! Word on the curb is Ferrari is allegedly a scammer who plays on the other team, but that’s none of my business.
To be honest, it looks like Ferrari may have been solicited by Blac Chyna for one of her schemes, but he decided to take matters into his own hands and do these press runs to feed off of this hype.
Blac Chyna claims that Ford Escort Ferrari is one of her stalkers now also.
This is one big sh-t show. We don’t know what to believe. This has to be a publicity stunt for something right? Some kind of show right?
Ferrari seems like he’s full of sh-t and with all of the stunts! What dude [like him] wouldn’t take that $1 million to leave Blac Chyna alone? Well he says he’s one of the biggest young moguls, so I guess he didn’t need it.
(AllHipHop Rumors) While 50 Cent seems like he’d be one of the rappers fighting back against what the rap game has become, he actually seems to be one of the rappers who is conforming to it.
50 Cent has recently referred to Jay-Z’s ‘4:44’ album as “too-smart golf course music”.
The rapper-turned-actor/producer recently stopped by Access Holywood to discuss his hit show ‘Power,’ his forthcoming new album, and more.
50 Cent admitted that he believes that rap artists have to dumb down their material to where the culture is currently. He feels that rap is no longer as sophisticated as it was when he first came in the game.
“I have an album that I’ve been waiting to put out…..I think we do have to kinda dumb down material to fit into where the culture’s producing. Because now it’s a little more melody driven; it’s not as sophisticated as it was when I first came in. I guess it’s a place for it…..[My album] it won’t be as smart as the Jay-Z record. I want to make music that people have fun to, so you don’t have to stop. You can get it immediately without having to uh sit and analyze,” said 50 Cent.
He also says that Jay won’t be upset about his comments because he believes that Jay knows that what he’s saying is true.
50 wants to make music that people can vibe with. Why not just push yourself to make great music 50?!
Fif feels that Jay is writing from a perspective of a billionaire instead of a person writing from the perspective of “someone in the culture”.
What are your thoughts on 50’s statements? Are they disappointing to you? Will you be buying his new album?

(AllHipHop News) “YOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 7pm!!!! NEW FUGEES RECORD!!!!!!! TONIGHT!!!!!” tweeted Funkmaster Flex on Saturday.
The Hot 97 deejay had some fans of the Grammy-winning Hip Hop group thinking a reunion between Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel was taking place.
Lauryn and Wyclef took to Twitter to respond to Funk Flex playing the Fugees song on the radio.
“The ‘new’ Fugees song is indeed an old track played around with back in the day in the lab,” wrote Hill. “Not sure who leaked it, but I have my suspicions.”
Wyclef offered his tweet about the matter, “To all my fugees fans, the song leaked today is a [sic] old one from past studio days. I don’t endorse it in anyway [sic] and had no clue it was coming.”
The 1990’s Hip Hop trio released two studio albums – Blunted on Reality and The Score.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Daz Dillinger is NEVER one to bite his tongue!
Daz recently took time to refute some of the claims that Jimmy Iovine made in his ‘Defiant Ones’ documentary.
“I looked at the ‘Defiant Ones’ and Jimmy Iovine and the rest of them c### suckers over there is saying Suge didn’t bail out Tupac, and they gave Suge the money to bail out Tupac. Why would you not bail out Tupac and then give Suge the money. Suge took his own money and went in there and bailed him out. So why didn’t y’all MF bail him out before Death Row because Time Warner said don’t bail Tupac out? So that let me know that y’all are b-tches and you only did that sh-t because we put the pressure on y’all n-ggas to go do that sh-t. It’s his money anyway. Suge went in there and got his MF money to bail him out because you n-ggas was holding that sh-t, and he knew that y’all n-ggas was holding that money,” said Daz.
Daz encourages folks to not praise Jimmy Iovine because he claims he isn’t telling the truth. According to Daz, Suge made them give that money up. He’s upset because he feels like Jimmy and others are trying to rewrite history since Tupac is dead.
Daz goes on to say he can’t wait to tell his story and the real stories from back in the day. Daz drop those stories man! What are your thoughts?

(AllHipHop News) Tory Lanez established himself as one of the hottest young artists to emerge over the last few years by using 90’s era samples (“Say It”) and remixing other artists’ hits (“Controlla”).
The rapper-singer plans to change his tune for his next LP.
“Enjoy the remixes and freestyles now. … cuz the album has no samples/ Remakes / or remixes… And all my singles are ORIGINAL this time around,” wrote Lanez on Instagram.
The 24-year-old Toronto native dropped his debut studio album, I Told You, in 2016.
Some fans are hoping to see a collaboration with Tory and his former rival Drake on the follow-up project.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Despite the fact that Migos has had such a successful year, they have been making headlines for other reasons than their music lately.
The rap trio has been gaining attention for their recent disputes and altercations.
In a recent clip, Migos member Offset is seen arguing with a man while in Atlanta’s Lenox Mall.
The man shown is said to have called Offset a lame while the Migos rapper was shopping. The man allegedly wanted a picture with Offset, and he allegedly declined.
Offset clapped back by yelling at the guy and approaching him. Apparently the altercation didn’t escalate past the approach. It’s got to suck to be a celebrity sometimes, you can’t even shop in peace.
Offset made the right decision my deciding not to put hands on the guy seeing that he is a convicted felon who is currently on probation. The fan probably would’ve tried to sue too. Carry on!
