THE BIGGER QUESTION IS: Why aren’t people recognizing Jay Z as the married father and spouse?

Meek Mill has apparently lost the battle with his love/hate relationship with his Instagram account. The Philadelphia Hip-Hop star, who deleted his Instagram account in mid-January, is back on the social media service. Meek returned with a series of posts tonight (February 6), with one promoting his upcoming concert “Meek Mill and Friends” which will take place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on February 10th. The second post appeared to show Meek Mill on the sidelines at the Super Bowl in Houston, where he was apparently celebrating the New England Patriot’s win over the Atlanta Falcons.


Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly is celebrating his first #1 Pop hit on the radio, thanks to his collaboration with Camila Cabello. The pair’s collaboration “Bad Things,” which has been on the Billboard Hot 100 list for a total of 13 weeks, has also clocked over 146 million streams, and is officially certified platinum.

MIgos

The Migos sophomore album CULTURE is currently the #1 album in the country, and Kevin Liles, the co-founder of 300 Entertainment, where the Migos are signed through Quality Control Ent., couldn’t be more elated. “This is the first time that both Migos, Quality Control and 300 Entertainment have earned a #1 spot on the Billboard Top 200 and we are so proud of our artists for crafting not only a brilliant album, but also an undeniable movement…Culture.”
The #1 is quite an achievement for the group, which counts artists like Young Thug, Fetty Wap, Dae Dae, and others as label mates.

Will We See A Lil Kim & Nicki Minaj Collaboration On Kim’s Forthcoming Album?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Azealia Banks just may have gotten it right for once.

We usually don’t want to hear anything the troubled rapper has to say, but I’ll give her a point for this one.

So check it, Lil’ Kim The Queen Bee recently revealed that she’s working on her next album, and, Azealia Banks made a good suggestion! Banks says she really wants to see Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj finally collaborate and do a song together.

“Lil Kim and Nicki need to do a fuxking song together for all little black girls’ sake. It’s annoying how hard they both pretend to not know who each other are.,” posted Banks.

I was always irritated by their beef. I mean females in Hip Hop have almost become extinct, and a thing of the past with Nicki winning Hip Hop Awards for 6 years back to back. It’s like Nicki has had no competition. But for me I want it to be less about competition and more about embracing the next woman, so that females in Hip Hop can make a return.

No matter what Nicki says, the Lil Kim influence in and on her career is obvious. I think both of them would’ve made it more beneficial for both parties to collaborate on a song for the culture than to carry this petty beef.

Hell maybe they should record a few songs together. I’d really like to hear them really spit on the track! Do you think we’ll ever see this collaboration? Side note, I’m starting to believe that rumor that Beyonce doesn’t really care for Rihanna either. LOL. Why haven’t they collaborated?! Carry on!

Big Sean treated the crowd to the first ever live performances of songs like “Jump Out The Window,” and went through some of his new hits like “Bounce Back,” and “Moves.”

The rapper didn’t seem fazed by the growing controversy surrounding his track “No Favors” with fellow Detroiter, Eminem.

Beyonce To Reportedly Bring Out Two Special Guests At Coachella!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Queen Bey is just in that elite number of artists man!

Apparently the Beyhive weren’t the only ones freaking out about Beyonce and her pregnancy announcement and how it would affect their Coachella plans. The Coachella producers were allegedly caught off guard too.

Now, it has been reported that the show will go on as normal.

According to TMZ, sources involved with Coachella claim that not only does Beyonce have NO plans of cancelling, she allegedly has already booked two other major artists to join her on stage.

Apparently both of Bey’s guest stars also knew that Beyonce was already pregnant also.

Look, Beyonce actually has some pipes on her. The girl has vocals on deck, so she could sit in a chair and still deliver an amazing performance, better than some of your favorites.

I wonder if her guest stars are so big, that they’ll help her pull the expectation weight though.

One of the performers is said to be from the Roc Nation roster, and the other is signed to a different label.

I’m hoping she will bring out Jay Z. For Jay fans, a surprise Jay Z performance will never get old.

Oh yeah and Beyonce could’ve allegedly cashed out for $1 million whether she performs or not because of her insurance. POW!

It’s dope to see that Bey still plans on performing especially since she’ll be well into her third trimester. Are you planning to attend Coachella?

(AllHipHop News) Rapper The Game has avoided jail time in his assault case after reaching a plea deal.

The “Dreams” hitmaker was accused of threatening and assaulting off-duty police officer Onyebuchi Awaji in an altercation during a pick-up basketball game at Hollywood High School in California in 2015.

The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, claimed self-defense, but he was ordered to stand trial on a felony charge of making criminal threats and a misdemeanour assault and battery count in December, 2015.

He pleaded not guilty and was facing up to three years in prison if convicted.

The trial was postponed last month and the 37-year-old has now struck a plea deal to keep himself out of prison.

According to reports, the rapper has pleaded no contest to misdemeanour battery and criminal threats.

He has been sentenced to three years probation, 120 days of community service, and a 180-day suspended jail sentence. He will also attend 26 anger management classes.

If he gets in any legal trouble over the next three years he could reportedly face jail time.

The deal also covered a felony grand theft charge he was hit with after becoming embroiled in a bust-up with two men who were trying to serve him legal papers over the incident in April, 2015.

An unnamed process server and his photographer, Justin Willard, were allegedly attacked and Willard had his camera stolen.

They subsequently filed a lawsuit.

(AllHipHop News) Pioneering Atlanta hip-hop artist Raheem the Dream is suing Sony Music Entertainment, for allegedly using his music on Three 6 Mafia’s 2003 album, Da Unbreakables.

Three 6 has a song titled “You Scared, Pt. 2,” yet they never received permission from Raheem the Dream, who claims Sony allowed the group to copy the hook from the original song.

To make matters worse, Raheem notes that Three 6 used the chant no less than 24 times in their version of the song.

Raheem also claims “You Scared, Pt.2,” invokes sounds similar to his own, “in order to invoke his musical sound and style and to create the impression of and connection to Raheem’s protected work,” the lawsuit reads.

Raheem notes that many of his works have been legally sampled by artists such as Fergie, Migos, and Rico Love, and he makes a substantial portion of his income from the sale, distribution and licensing of his music.

Raheem claims Sony is illegally distributing the song on Da Unbreakables album, through digital retailers like Amazon.com, Spotify and iTunes.

Raheem the Dream is seeking the maximum amount of statutory damages allowed, and any additional profits from Sony’s alleged infringement.

(AllHipHop News) Faith Evans has proposed hitting the studio with fellow singer Faith Hill after a CNN news report suggested the country icon was releasing an album of duets with late rapper Notorious B.I.G.

R&B star Evans recently revealed she will release The King & I, a collaborative project celebrating the legacy of her late husband, in May, just two days before what would have been his 45th birthday.

However, a representative for CNN mixed up their Faiths as they posted about the news on Twitter, wrongly stating: “Faith Hill is releasing an album of duets with The Notorious B.I.G, 20 years after his murder,” despite accompanying the tweet with a picture of Evans.

CNN officials promptly removed the post, but not before fans could poke fun at the error.

Fun-loving Hill was also quick to respond, reposting the CNN tweet and commenting, “This sounds awesome!”

Joining in the fun, Evans replied by asking, “Up for a bonus duet, Ms. Hill?” and then sharing a fan’s mocked-up image of Biggie and Hill, adding, “Shout out to faithhill for holding it down!”

Drake Says “F-ck Donald Trump”!

(AllHipHop Rumors) unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Donald Trump has to be the most hated President EVER!

He certainly isn’t popular or favorable in Hip Hop either, with that said. Well word on the street is that Drake allegedly turned down $750k to perform at a Floyd Mayweather event during Donald Trump’s inaugural weekend.

It looks like Drizzy is a smart man because he allegedly shot down the idea and offer seeing how so many celebrities were catching flack for doing anything related to Donald Trump.

Let’s not forget that Mayweather also expressed his support for Donald Trump, and he is one of the few celebrities that actually attended Trump’s inauguration. Heavy sigh. Cooning is at an all-time high.

Anyway…. while we don’t know how true Drake shooting down the offer is, we do know that he doesn’t f-ck with Donald Trump AT ALL!

At one of the 6 God’s recent concerts, he let it be known that he refuses to give Donald Trump that much acknowledgement or that much power to disrupt the world.

“For some reason in my room, they got the TV set to CNN. Everyday I wake up, I see all of this bulls-t going on in the world. People trying to tear us apart. People trying to make us turn against each other. So tonight, my proudest moment isn’t selling tickets or having people sing my songs. My proudest moment….if you take a look around this room, you’ll see people from all races, and all places. And all we did is come inside this building to show love, celebrate more life, and more music. And I just want you to understand that if you ever thought for a second any one man is gonna tear this world apart, you’re out of your mind. It’s on us to keep this sh-t together. F-ck that man,” said Drake.

It’s really f-ck Donald Trump yo! How did we get here?! How did he make it this far? Help us all!

Hurricane Chris Sends Some Serious Shots At Kodak Black Over Lil Wayne!

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) I honestly wonder what in the world has Hurricane Chris been up to? He definitely always has time to lend his unsolicited opinion, or to weigh in on something.

Anyway Kodak Black must’ve forgot how deep the fan and familial love for Lil Wayne was when he dissed him and claimed that he was the best rapper alive over Wayne.

Hurricane Chris certainly had time over the weekend to let Kodak and everyone else know that he will ride for Weezy!

“Check this out. I’ma say this, and I’m say this one time. I go by the name of Hurricane Chris, and if you f-ck with any of my people, you gotta deal with me. With that being said, Wayne, Weezy, Tunechi, whatever you want to call him. You wanna f-ck with him, you wanna f-ck with me. That’s how I’m coming. 5150. You play with my people, and I’ma break your jaw. It’s going down like that, and you know who I’m talking to… and I’m righteous with them hands, talking bout that hand game, we’ll stand toe-to-toe just like you talking about doing,” said Hurricane Chris.

Chris says Wayne is somewhere counting $100 million while trying to get back the $50 million Birdman owes him. Chris also says Lil Wayne has bigger problems than worrying about fighting Wayne, however he has nothing but time on his hands to “chastise” Kodak Black.

Idk man, is it just me, or does Hurricane Chris look like, he too, is on dem drugs. I sho’ hope Wayne rides for Chris the way Chris rides for Lil Wayne because Chris is looking like he needs that check right now. I could be wrong though. Lol. Do you think Kodak will respond? Do you think Hurricane Chris is even still in communication with Wayne?

Ahhhhh let’s remember the better days of Chris’ career. LOL.

A source told TMZ.com, that Kanye is unhappy with Donald Trump’s first few weeks in office.

Apparently, Kanye is unhappy with Trump’s Muslim ban, amongst other things.

(AllHipHop News) It looks like members of rap group Migos are starting to pay up on the money they owe, after wagering hundreds of thousand dollars on the Atlanta Falcons.

The New England Patriots stunned the Atlanta Falcons, who blew a 20 point plus lead after half time, only to lose to The Patriots, who ended up winning the Super Bowl for a fifth time, by defeating The Falcons in overtime, 34-28.

Many Atlanta rappers assumed the game was in the bag, so they were naturally stunned by the comeback, which has been labeled the greatest in the history of the NFL.

But for rappers Migos and 2 Chainz, who reportedly bet hundreds of thousand dollars on the game, it’s time to start ponying up the cash.

Migos member Offset lost a cool $10,000 to Blac Youngsta, who posted the rapper anteing up on his Instagram page.

According to reports, Offset lost a total of $50,000 betting on the Atlanta Falcons.

2 Chainz didn’t seem too upset at the loss of his money either.

In fact, he said he would make it back that night (February 5th), after one of his concerts.

Kanye West and Tyga Use Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner For New Video

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Kim Kardashian and her sister Kylie Jenner are reportedly reprising their roles as video vixens for Kanye West and Tyga’s new music promo.

The reality TV stars’ men recently hit the studio for the collaborative track “Feel Me,” which debuted online on New Year’s Eve and the rappers are currently working on the accompanying video.

According to Us Weekly, Kanye’s wife Kim filmed her cameo last week, squeezing in the shoot on the eve of a Big Apple meeting with a French judge to give her testimony in her 2016 Parisian robbery ordeal.

Fans shouldn’t be surprised at the Kardashian/Jenner sisters’ involvement in the promo as “Feel Me” features various references to the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” beauties’ lavish lifestyles.

In the chorus, Tyga spits of his girlfriend, “Kylie Jenner thick, you gotta feel me/Happy birthday, here’s a Benz, feel me?/First, last name rich, feel me?/Yeah, b##ch, I’m the s##t, feel me?/We at the highest level, yeah I know you feel me.”

Kim previously co-starred in her husband’s film for 2013’s “Bound 2,” in which she famously appeared topless as she and Kanye rode into the sunset on a motorcycle.

Kylie is also no stranger to music videos – she joined Tyga in his steamy 2015 clip for “Stimulated,” an innuendo-filled track which appeared to detail the then-25-year-old musician’s controversial romance with Jenner, who only turned 18 weeks before the promo’s release.

She also locked lips with rumored lover PartyNextDoor in the hip-hop star’s “Come and See Me” release last summer, during a temporary split from Tyga.

They reunited shortly after the break-up.
