Did E-Bro And Nicki Minaj Have Sex…OR NOT?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Hot 97 is getting their jollies on this one! Did E-Bro smash though, as Remy Martin alleged? Some insiders say that E-Bro may be lying to keep his relationship with Nicki Minaj good! In the clip below, E-Bro denies it, but they get into a heated conversation with his cohorts who told him to chill until Monday. E-Bro said that Remy Ma may not be lying, but she definitely got “alternative facts.”

E-Bro probably did that, but he gotta lie to keep the peace, and a business friend.

Peep this, Papoose is not having it.

Charlamagne Tha God: Nicki Minaj Called Me “Phony” For Tweeting About Remy Ma’s “ShETHER”

(AllHipHop News) The list of people being brought into the Remy Ma/Nicki Minaj beef continues to grow.

Meek Mill, Drake, Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Safaree, Ebro Darden, and The Game have become part of the discussion about the war of words between Nicki and Remy.

The Breakfast Club host Charlamagne Tha God is now claiming the “Make Love” performer allegedly took issue with him for tweeting about Remy’s “ShETHER” diss record.

“Remy Ma so damn disrespectful,” tweeted CTG on Saturday following the release of  “ShETHER.”

He later added, “I love the culture!!!! All aspects of the culture!!!”

According to Charlamagne, Nicki was not happy with his tweet and reached out to him about it.

“[Nicki] texted me and told me I was phony cause I tweeted out ‘Remy Ma is so disrespectful,'” said the Uncommon Sense star. “I’m a fan of the culture. I’m a fan of Hip Hop.”

Charlamagne also expressed he wants to see Nicki respond to Remy with lyrics that are not about her sales success, her wealth, or her connection to stars like Beyoncé.

“She can rap, but she can’t rap better than Remy,” stated Charlamagne. “Remy said, ‘I’m the queen of rap.’ She didn’t say, ‘I’m the queen of record sales.’ She didn’t say, ‘I’m the queen of Instagram followers.’ She didn’t say, ‘I’m the queen of Twitter followers.'”

The South Carolina representative continued, “She said, ‘I’m the queen of rap.’ So you have to have better bars.”

Back in 2012, Nicki tapped Charlamagne Tha God for the “Press Conference” bonus track on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.

The two apparently had a falling out a few years ago over Charlamagne referring to Nicki’s “Anaconda” as “corny” and his support for Iggy Azalea.

“I got mad love for Nicki Minaj even though she ain’t f-cking with me right now. She unfollowed me on Twitter. She made calls to people in radio, people that I work for, and said she’s never coming on The Breakfast Club again,” said Charlamagne at the time.

However, Minaj did speak to The Breakfast Club over the phone last October.

Is Remy Ma Preparing To Release Another Nicki Minaj Diss?!

(AllHipHop Rumors) This is bad man! It’s like watching a fight where one girl is getting the brakes beaten off of her to the point where she just gives up. Get up Nicki girl!

Remy Ma tried to tell yall that she was bout that life long ago. She showed you that she’ll shoot ya, and she showed and told you that she isn’t about subliminal disses. She’s coming for your head, and saying your name!

Well Remy already killed Nicki Minaj off with her “ShETHER” diss track, so I don’t even know what Nicki could come back with.

To be fair, we can’t sit here and act like Nicki can’t rap, but Remy said everything possible [bad] in her diss, so what could the girl possibly say to destroy Remy?

After killing Nicki, you would’ve thought Remy was going to take a little break, but nah.

Word on the curb is that Remy Ma will be dropping another diss track called “Child’s Play” today or sometime this week!

Get up Nicki! How is Remy readying her second diss track, and you haven’t even responded to her first?! The alleged artwork for the track has been released, and you know fans are already ready for it to hit the net. Nicki has still been rumored to be dropping a diss track soon, but the question is when?!

Remy told yall that she will even kill men on tracks! Do you think Nicki can bounce back from this?

Kanye West Heading To Court In $2.5 Million Battle Over “New Slaves” Sample

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West’s dispute over the hit song “New Slaves” will be going to court this May.

Kanye West was sued for $2.5 million, by a Hungarian producer named Gabor Presser.

Presser insists that Kanye illegally sampled more than 85 seconds of his 1969 song “Gyöngyhajú Lány” (“The Girl with Pearl’s In Her Hair”).

Kanye never received the proper permission to use the song in “New Slaves” and so far, Presser, the original composer of the work, has only received a piddling $700 from the rap star.

According to reports, Kanye and his lawyers did try to settle the legal mess just before the release of the Yeezus album, however, a settlement could not be reached between the two parties.

Kanye reportedly offered a $10,000 for using the sample, which the Hungarian singer flatly rejected, in addition to declining any paperwork sent by the Chicago artists’ lawyers.

The trial is set to begin on May 15 in Los Angeles.

Hov’s Unseen Hand: The 10 Best Songs Jay Z Is Rumored To Have Ghostwritten

In an announcement made last week, it was revealed that Jay Z will be the first rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

The president of the organization, Linda Moran, said, “Jay Z is pop music, but presents it in a different manner.  This just shows that we accept it and acknowledge that. It’s a step into the future. We can’t nurture young songwriters if we can’t accept them and grow with them.”

Jay is definitely responsible for crafting some of the best songs ever.  “Can I Live.”  “D’Evils.” “Where I’m From.”  The list goes on.  However, in addition to writing stellar material for himself, he has been a successful writer for others as well. On “Ride or Die,” he even proclaimed, “S. Carter, ghost writer / And for the right price, I can even make yo s**t tighter.”

So to celebrate Jay Z’s induction into such as prestigious group, AllHipHop.com has compiled a list of the best records that he has supposedly put together for others.  His contribution to songwriting via his own tracks is undeniable, so here is a reminder of other things he may have helped compose that also prove why is one of music’s all-time great lyricists.

Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” Horror Flick Debuts At The Top Of The Box Office

(AllHipHop News) Jordan Peele’s horror film “Get Out” has scared up a treat at the North American box office, debuting at number one with $30.5 million .

The movie, which has garnered a rare 100 per cent rating on film review website Rotten Tomatoes, features Girls star Allison Williams and British “Skins” actor Daniel Kaluuya as an interracial couple which makes a series of disturbing discoveries on a trip to meet the girl’s parents, played by “The West Wing’s” Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener.

It marked comedian Peele’s directorial debut and was made on a budget of just $4.5 million , and now that investment by producers at Blumhouse Productions and distributors at Universal Pictures has paid off.

“Jordan Peele is an absolute talent,” Nick Carpou, Universal President of Domestic Theatrical Distribution, told The Associated Press. “As we got closer and closer to opening, it’s amazing how many people were rooting for it.”

“Get Out’s” impressive start ends “The Lego Batman Movie’s” two-week reign over the chart, knocking it into second place with $19 million .

The animated movie, boasting the voices of Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis, and Rosario Dawson, has now racked up $133 million in its three weeks on release in North America.

“John Wick: Chapter Two” climbs one place to three with $9 million, ahead of Matt Damon’s action epic “The Great Wall,” which slips to four with $8.7 million .

“Fifty Shades Darker” rounds out the new top five at five with $7.7 million.

Future Is On Pace To Make History By Earning #1 Albums In Consecutive Weeks

(AllHipHop News) Future is set to make history with his latest album HNDRXX.

HitsDailyDouble reports the Atlanta native’s sixth studio LP is on pace to land at #1 on the album chart.

HNDRXX is expected to collect around 100,000 equivalent album units.

If the prediction numbers hold up, Future will earn back-to-back #1 projects.

The Freebandz leader scored a chart topper with his self-titled LP released on February 17.

According to Billboard, no music act has ever debuted in the top spot on the album chart in consecutive weeks.

This would also be Future’s fifth #1 of his career following DS2, EVOL, FUTURE, and What A Time to Be Alive with Drake.

He collected those four best-selling projects in less than two years.

In 2016, Future became the fastest rapper to earn three #1 albums by achieving the feat in six months and 20 days.

Gunfire At Lil Boosie’s Video Shoot Kills One; Injures Four

(AllHipHop News) One man was shot dead and four others injured at the scene of rapper Boosie’s new music video shoot in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday (February 25).

The hip-hop star, real name Torrence Hatch, had taken to social media earlier on Saturday to alert fans to the promo with fellow MC Baby Soulja, which was set to take place outside the popular Holley’s Bar-B-Q restaurant at 12 noon.

However, police were called to the scene around 1pm, after gunshots were fired, leaving a male in his 20s dead.

Four other people were hospitalized with various injuries.

It is not known if Boosie, formerly known as Lil Boosie, was on site at the time of the incident, and further details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting have yet to be revealed.

A representative for Boosie has so far declined to comment on the crime.

Man Claims To Be Having A Sexual Relationship With Kodak Black!

(AllHipHop Rumors) While I don’t put anything past anyone in 2017, in Kodak’s defense, this smells like a publicity stunt.

It looks like rapper Kodak Black has found himself caught up in a gay scandal. A person has taken to Instagram claiming to have a sexual relationship with the rapper.

The reveal is a little sketchy. IG user @sgmybloodline says that his in-the-closet alleged romance with Kodak is a bigger shocker than Remy Ma killing Nicki Minaj over the weekend.

“F-ck it Remy & Nicki spilling tea. Me and Lil Kodak been f-cking around & now we want to get serious believe it or not. Aye “he was just bopping on my d-ck umm I think two nights ago!!! And this isn’t a lie of for clout. this me and this n-gga dead feeling each other. A n-gga don’t lie on his d-ck,” said @sgmybloodline.

What’s extremely odd is the person is trying to say that they are getting ready to get serious with each other, but he is exposing Kodak actually. If you were having a coming out party on the gram, I’d like too think you wouldn’t express it like this.

I don’t know if Kodak is gay or not, but I know he IS deeply troubled and off. I mean the rape charges, taking showers on IG when he has a mostly male following and dropping the phone “by mistake”, showing a train being ran on IG, and facetiming underage girls. I mean issa tragedy.

Either this guy was hacked, is seeking attention, and or is a man scorned. This is crazy! What are your thoughts? Do you believe it?

Nicki Minaj Films Music Video For Alleged Remy Ma Diss “Make Love” (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Many observers assumed Nicki Minaj was throwing subliminal shots at Remy Ma on the new song “Make Love.”

The Gucci Mane-assisted record may have been the catalyst for Remy to fire back at Nicki with the scathing diss track “ShETHER.”

Despite that much of the collective internet is waiting to hear if the Young Money star has a response for Rem, Nicki is moving ahead with support for “Make Love.”

She announced on Twitter and Instagram that a video for the song is in the works.

“I’m on the set of my video with Gucci Mane, and he had to leave a little bit early,” said Nicki in the clip. “So it’s just me and the team holding it down for my babies.”

It is not clear when Nicki shot the video posted on her social media accounts, so it could have been filmed before Remy’s “ShETHER” was released.

Future Hits #1 With Self Titled Album

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Future has shot to the top of the U.S. albums chart to secure his fourth number one on the Billboard 200.

The “Jumpman” star’s self-titled release shifted 140,000 equivalent album units to debut in first place, and he looks set for further chart success next weekend after dropping HNDRXX, his second album in as many weeks, on Friday (February 24).

Meanwhile, Bruno Mars remains at number two with 24K Magic, just ahead of the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack at three.

Starboy by The Weeknd takes fourth place and Migos’ Culture rounds out the new top five at five.

Drake Reunites With The Weeknd At Concert In Germany

(AllHipHop News) Drake reunited with The Weeknd onstage on Saturday (February 25) for a surprise collaboration during the rapper’s concert in Germany.

The “Hotline Bling” MC performed in Oberhausen as part of his ongoing Boy Meets World Tour and sent fans into a frenzy as he introduced The Weeknd as his special guest.

The old pals delighted the audience with a rendition of the R&B star’s#### The Hills and warmly embraced after the unexpected appearance.

Saturday’s gig marked the first time the two Canadian artists had performed together in quite a while, after Drake helped The Weeknd rise to fame by recruiting the then up-and-coming singer to contribute vocals to his 2011 album Take Care.

However, tensions arose in their friendship in 2012, when The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, decided not to sign to Drake’s OVO label, in favour of launching his own XO imprint with Republic Records.

They appeared to drift apart after the snub, as The Weeknd quickly became a household name, but they recently raised the prospect of working together again after Drake made a cameo in his old pal’s star-studded “Reminder” video, alongside the likes of A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, and French Montana.

The Weeknd is currently also in Europe for his Star Boy: Legends of the Fall Tour, and performed in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on Friday night (February 24), when his new girlfriend Selena Gomez cheered him on from the audience.

She took to social media to share her view of the “Can’t Feel My Face “hitmaker’s elaborate stage, which she appeared to be watching from a private box at the Ziggo Dome.

The Weeknd continued his Star Boy live shows on Sunday (February 26) in Zurich, Switzerland.
