(AllHipHop News) THE 1975 rocker Matt Healy is determined to hit the recording studio with rapper SKEPTA and create a crossover hit like the Pet Shop Boys’ “West End Girls.”

The singer reveals he’s been pals with Skepta for a while, and although they have attempted to sort out a collaboration, their plans have yet to come to fruition.

However, after reuniting at the NME Awards in London on Wednesday night (February 15), when they both walked away winners, Matt is more eager than ever to lay down some vocals with the British hip-hop star – and perhaps launch a side project together.

“Me and Skepta know each other,” he told NME.com. “We tried working with each other recently but it just didn’t work out. Just for loads of reasons – but we’re going to do something in the future.

“We want to do like a ‘West End Girls’ Pet Shop Boys (kind of thing). Maybe start a band, just me and Skepta do a band. Well, we’re talking about it, so let’s see what happens.”

Skepta was named Best British Male Artist at the ceremony, while The 1975 landed the Best Live Band title.

Pet Shop Boys members Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe were also big winners at the NME Awards, taking home the Godlike Genius Award.

Is Remy Ma Dissing Nicki Minaj On New Song “Warning” ?

(AllHipHop News) Fat Joe and Remy Martin just released their new album Plato O Ploma and with it comes a new record titled “Warning” featuring Kat Dahlia.

There’s already speculation some of Remy’s bars are squarely aimed at New York rapper Nicki Minaj.

While Joey serves up some anecdotal street rhymes, it is Remy’s verse which seems to be aimed squarely at Nicki Minaj, that will have fans talking.

“How dare you allow people to compare you/Better be careful/I don’t care you, tried to be my friend but I didn’t care to/bob and weave on you hoes like hairdos/ I’m from the Bronx man/why would I fear you/when you scared to death and your flunkies is scared too/felt your heart trembling when I came near you/

Even though Remy never mentions the famed rapper by name, people will assume she is once again taking some subliminal shots at Nicki Minaj on “Warning.”

A few days ago, Remy denied her “barbs” were deliberate shots at Nicki.

“If you look at the history of Remy Ma, whenever I’ve had a problem with any female in the entire game I will say your name,” Remy said during an interview with The Breakfast Club. “I do not want you sitting there thinking, ‘Oh my god, is she talking about me?’”

She continued, “I’m going to say your government [name]. I’m going to look it up. I’m going to say your mother’s name, your father’s name, your kids’ name. I want you to know that I’m talking about you.”

The Game Has The Perfect Replacement For Destiny Child’s Michelle Williams

(AllHipHop Rumors) Despite all of her success, Destiny Child’s Michelle Williams still can’t catch a break!

The Game caught a lot of flack for one of his recent comments about Michelle, but I couldn’t do anything but chuckle, because over the years, I’m sure many of us have considered her possible replacements, or just additions to the R&B trio period.

Yes, Michelle is both beautiful and talented, but even I always wondered why they didn’t put Solange in Destiny’s Child back in the day, especially with Solange dancing in some of Beyonce’s music videos. Sometimes I wonder is Solange’s style and persona authentically her or was it created to guarantee that she’d come out of her sister’s shadow.

Photos surfaced of Destiny’s Child and others hanging out at Solange’s Grammy after party, as well as a screenshot of Game in The Shaderoom’s comments saying that he had the perfect replacement for Williams…….none other than Solange! LOL.

“Let Solange replace Michelle in Destiny’s Child. (hand on temple),” posted Game.

Fans began going in on Game in the comments feeling like the comment was disrespectful, and because Michelle has always been the butt of so many jokes in regards to Destiny’s Child. I sure hope the girl has tough skin, and high self esteem, because one cannot forget all of the things that were “pointed out” in the #PoorMichelle hashtag. LOL. Carry on!

(AllHipHop News) Drake staged a surprise gig for fans in London on Thursday (February 16) when he crashed a concert headlined by fellow rappers Smoke Dawg and Nafe Smallz.

The “Hotline Bling” hitmaker had a night off in between shows on his Boy Meets World Tour and decided to drop by club XOYO, where the rising stars were both billed to perform.

In video footage posted online, attendees screamed as Drake stepped out onstage and launched into his hit “Energy.”

He also brought out a few special guests, with British MCs Skepta, Giggs and the Section Boyz all making appearances at the small venue, which only holds 800 people.

The set was so impromptu, Giggs later admitted he had no idea he would be performing that night.

Sharing a concert clip on Instagram today (February 17), he wrote, “Last night I threw on a tracksuit with a plan to quickly step out, eat a quick food, go home and catch up on some sleep. Next thing I know, this is happening….”

After the XOYO surprise, Drake headed to the city’s Paper nightclub, where he also hopped on the microphone, much to the crowd’s delight.

Drake has been serving up treats for fans throughout his Boy Meets World trek and at his gig at London’s O2 Arena on Wednesday (February 15), he helped to make one devotee’s American football dreams come true after calling on his athlete pal Odell Beckham, Jr. to sign the man’s jersey.

The star athlete was among the famous guests in the audience at the show, and after Drake spotted the fan’s New York Giants shirt, he promptly took it over to Beckham, Jr. to autograph.

The Canadian rapper added his signature, before giving the top back, much to the fan’s amazement.

“There you go, brother,” he smiled in video footage of the encounter, as the man could be heard screaming, “Oh my God, oh my God!”

2 Chainz, Sir Mix-A-Lot

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta hip-hop star 2 Chainz has teamed with 7UP as part of a new integrated campaign which just launched.

The humorous new spot is slated to ramp up during All-Star Weekend and features the rapper sitting on a yacht with a woman on his lap, while drinks are prepared and served.

Reps for the company said they wanted to show all the ways 7UP could be mixed with drinks.

Rappers like Yelawolf, DJ Quik (“Tonight”) Yelawolf (“Funky S##t”) and E40 (“7 Much”), have all rapped about creating concoctions using the soft drink.

So, 7UP wanted to capitalize on the way the soda is frequently used, according to reps at the company, which leveraged insights from consumer data.

“We didn’t need to look far to realize that people have been using 7UP as a component of their concoctions for decades. We wanted to acknowledge that truth and elevate all the ways in which consumers are enjoying our product,” said Kevin Brandvold, director of marketing for 7UP. “We’re excited that 7UP represents a trusted ingredient to our consumers, and this campaign really brings that idea to life.”

There’s also a “Mix It Up A Little” campaign with legendary “Baby Got Back” rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot.

Village People Singer Claims The Grammys Have A Secret Racist Committee To Block Black Wins!

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Welp! Are you surprised?

The Grammys have come under much critique over the years for not fully awarding and recognizing black artists and their musical accomplishments. So to no one’s surprise, all hell broke loose when Adele beat out Beyonce for the Album Of The Year award at this year’s ceremony.

Well it looks like Village People singer, Victor Willis, has had enough and is ready to air it all about the Recording Academy and their ways.

Willis claims that there is a secret committee in place to make sure that black artists don’t take home “too many” Grammys! So apparently, they aren’t just out of touch; they are strategic.

Willis sent a letter to the President of the Recording Academy demanding that he confess about a secret group they allegedly had that was formed back in 1985 after Lionel Richie beat Bruce Springsteen for the Album Of The Year award.

According to TMZ, Willis claims the committee’s sole purpose is to override Grammy voters in the event the select committee does not like who the Grammy voter has chosen for the most important awards. INSANE!

Willis also suggests that there is a strong racial element, as he questions how many African Americans are on the said committee. According to TMZ, they did some digging, and found out that a secret committee does exist, but it’s put in place to take out embarrassing and undeserving nominations. The Recording Academy has since denied that any such committees exist. What are your thoughts?

Chance the Rapper Turning Down Tens of Millions In Advances

(AllHipHop News) Chance the Rapper’s value has skyrocketed since he won three Grammy Awards last week, at the 59th Annual ceremony.

Chance is an unconventional artist without any record label backing and he still managed to beat a slew of established stars and won Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance, and Best New Artist.

According to reports, every major record label is attempting to sign Chance and they are offering up huge advances.

“He’s making too much on his own,” a source told the New York Post. “He was turning down $5 million advances before, and now it’s like $10 million.”

While the rapper is allegedly in talks to possibly work with Apple, Chance is set on remaining independent.

Chance, who distributes most of his music for free, told Vanity Fair that he is not worried about his music.

He said that after his second mixtape, and meeting with three labels, he realized the best route for him was to offer up his work, with no limitations.

“I make money from touring and selling merchandise, and I honestly believe if you put effort into something and you execute properly, you don’t necessarily have to go through the traditional ways,” Chance said in an interview with Vanity Fair.

Nick Cannon Says His Community Is More Important Than TV, Sources Reportedly Fear Mental Health Issues

(AllHipHop News) Nick Cannon partially built his career in entertainment through television gigs like All That, Wild ‘N Out, and Real Husbands of Hollywood.

The recent dustup with NBC executives over his hosting job with America’s Got Talent has some observers wondering about his future with the network or other small-screen opportunities.

However, according to Cannon, TV is not near the top of his list of life priorities at the moment.

“At this point right now, my focus is working with my community. Television is a small part of what I do,” stated Cannon during a Black Lives Matter event at New York City’s South Bronx Charter School. “They thought it was a major asset in my life, but it really isn’t.”

Over the last few months, Cannon has become an outspoken voice on politics, police brutality, and social issues.

He regularly uses his social media accounts to express his thoughts on society and culture.

Besides cutting ties with AGT, Page Six reports Cannon fired longtime members of his team, publicist Alla Plotkin and agent Chris Smith.

The gossip publication also claims insiders connected to Cannon are worried about the actor/comedian’s mental health.

The Page Six article reads:

Meanwhile, we’re told Cannon has recently “got really into religion,” wears robes and a turban and refers to himself as “Reverend Dr. Cannon.” Apparently he isn’t attached to a specific religion so much as a general spirituality.

Cannon’s Instagram page contains several recent posts about pain and depression.

The 36-year-old Hollywood veteran uploaded a meme that states, “Sometimes when I say, ‘I’m okay,” I want someone to look me in the eyes, hug me tight, and say, ‘I know you’re not.'”

Yesterday The Weeknd kept his birthday celebration going with the release of his new video for his single “Reminder”. What caught people’s attention was a Drake cameo in the visual!

The Weeknd and Drake went on to post a photo of them together on their Instagrams captioned, “OVOXO”.

Fans immediately begin to wonder if their reunion was strictly for the video, or if they had more up their sleeves.

I mean after all, given their CRAZY history, this could be hinting at the fact that The Weeknd could make an appearance on Drake’s forthcoming ‘More Life’ album, and that we could see several collaborations from them this year, and that they could even do a collaborative album or mixtape together. Hmmmmmm have you been wanting new music from these two? Will we get any? We shall see Aubrey and Abel; we shall see!

(AllHipHop News) Social media can be both beneficial and distressing for celebrities.

Platforms like Twitter and Instagram allow artists to connect directly with fans which include both positive and negative feedback from the public.

Atlanta rapper Future took a break from social media, and he explained his decision in an interview with Beats 1’s Zane Lowe.

“It was probably the best thing I’d ever done cause I don’t have to respond to certain things that’s going on, even my life,” said the Freebandz leader.

He added, “So anything going on in that period of time probably just gets washed away. I’m just not giving it attention. I want to give the music attention and being in the studio. I want to give all my attention to my music, my kids, my family, so I just wanna focus on certain things besides social media. Social media can take up a lot of your life.

Future came back with more music this week with the release of his self-titled fifth studio album.

The project features production by Southside, Zaytoven, TM88, Sonny Digital, and others.

Trey Songz Responds To Keke Palmer’s Claims Of Being Secretly Filmed And Harassed At Video Shoot (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Scream Queens actress Keke Palmer made a lot of headlines over the last few weeks because of her accusations against R&B singer Trey Songz.

Palmer claimed she was secretly filmed for a music video while at a party with Songz.

She wrote (in part) on a January Instagram post:

How am I in this video Trey? After you found me in a closet HIDING because I was so afraid of anymore conflict. Literally my last option was to hide because you all would not listen when I said I did not want to be in the video the FIRST time. Just cause you give someone food and alcohol and throw in a little sexual intimidation doesn’t mean they will buckle.

Songz has now addressed Palmer’s allegations in an interview with The Breakfast Club.

“Ain’t nobody put her on camera without asking. There’s a sign on the door: you step on the premises, you will be recorded. Point blank period. I don’t have to say nothing else about nothing,” stated Trey.

The “Slow Motion” vocalist went on to say he has known Palmer for many years and that was why he did not want to speak about the incident.

Apparently, the continuation of Palmer’s insistence that she was harassed at the shoot led to Trey addressing the matter.

“She was doing the most to defame me. I thought that was wack,” added Songz.

At one point, The Breakfast Club co-host Angela Yee mentioned that Keke supposedly spoke to Trey and they settled the issue.

“That’s a lie too. I ain’t talk to her,” responded Songz. “I ain’t call her. I ain’t try to call Keke. None of that.”

The Tremaine album creator also told the radio show the song in question –  “Pick Up the Phone” – is not even his record and he had nothing to do with the posting or removal of the video.

“I don’t care that much to sneak Keke Palmer in the video for two seconds. Who the f-ck does that? I’m gonna sneak you in the video, Keke? No, I’m not. F-ck out of here,” declared Songz.

It should be noted that “Pick Up The Phone” does appear on the Trappy New Years mixtape by Trey Songz and Fabolous.

(AllHipHop News) Fat Joe recently hosted a Reddit AMA, to promote his newest album with Remy Ma, titled Plata O Plomo.

Joey Crack answered a mixture of questions for fans throughout his AMA, which recounted his history, how he has evolved in hip-hop over the past 30 years, his favorite foods, and his relationship with the late legendary Terror Squad member, Big Pun.

Even though Fat Joe doesn’t have physical unreleased music on Pun, he still has plenty of fond memories.

One of those involves the time Big Pun played a practical joke on Fat Joe when they were dining at a restaurant in New York.

“He always looked at me like as his big brother, the OG, but one day I went to drink my soda, and it might have been a mountain of sugar in there,” Fat Joe recalled. “Like as soon as I sipped it I spit and when I looked he was laughing and I flipped over the f##king table, I made the biggest scene in the restaurant and he was looking at me like ‘Yo twin I was just having’ – ‘No! F##k that don’t play with me m###########,” Fat Joe said he snapped at Pun.

“His face was priceless at that moment, he was looking like ‘wow I really got Joe p#####.’ It was crazy,” Fat Joe said.

Funny stories aside, Fat Joe addressed the current crop of rappers.

Joey echoed numerous veterans’ recent claims that the younger generation doesn’t pay the proper respect to the masters who came before them.

Fat Joe also isn’t feeling the style of some rappers dress.

“I disagree with some of these guys, the way they dress and color their hair and s##t like that,” Fat Joe revealed. “That’s not really my way, you know what I mean? But I would never bad talk any young artist trying to make it happen for themselves. At the end of the day, this is art, their lives can be as creative as they wanna be

During the conversation, Fat Joe admitted his generation of artists went through the same things in the early 1990’s with an older crop of M.C.’s, who weren’t feeling his street edge.

Fat Joe’s album with Remy my Fat Joe’s and Remy Ma album Plata O Plomo is out now.

Meek Mill Has Some Advice For Black Lives Matter

(AllHipHop Rumors) You know Meek Mill tries to speak up and throw his two cents in on social and political issues every now and then.

Following the shooting death of 11-year-old Takiya Holmes and a few others in Chicago this week, Meek Mill is now calling for the Black Lives Matter organization to additionally expand their focus to the black on black violence, senseless violence, and the warzone that is Chiraq aka Chicago.

Meek took to Instagram to share his thoughts,

“I think it’s about time for “black lives matter” focus on Chicago” it’s a lot of kids dying out there and we putting all our focus on cops! RIP BABY GIRL, ONE OF 3 little kids killed this week! CNN not covering this news!”

Apparently 19-year-old Antwan Jones opened fire after seeing three rival gang members selling drugs nearby. Takiya was sitting in a nearby van and was struck in her right temple.

Kanari Bowers, 12, was shot in the head by a stray bullet about 30 minutes before Takiya was shot in the West Englewood neighborhood, and the murder of 2-year-old Lavontay White Jr. was captured on Facebook Live.

This sh-t is out of control in Chicago, and it has been for a while. Does Meek Mill have a valid point?
