(AllHipHop News) All the parties involved are still going forward with the idea that Chris Brown and Soulja Boy will face off in the ring.
Brown’s recent Instagram post suggests the “Party” singer is predicting a clear knockout against his opponent.
A photoshopped picture of him standing over a laid out Soulja on the canvas is now on CB’s Instagram page.
The image is a reimagining of the famous 1965 photograph of Muhammad Ali towering over Sonny Liston after scoring a first round knockdown in the WBC heavyweight championship bout.
How do you see the fight ending? Take our poll below.

(AllHipHop News) Taraji P. Henson was reluctant to take on the role of Cookie Lyon on TV drama “Empire” because she didn’t want to become a Hollywood stereotype.
The actress has received much praise for her portrayal of the tough music business executive in the highly-popular drama series, but when she was first approached about the role she wasn’t sure if she wanted to play Cookie, because she thought she was too similar to other characters.
“I’ve been deemed as the edgy one in Hollywood sometimes,” she told U.S. chat show The Talk on Wednesday (January 4). “In your career, when you’re building, you’re trying not to pigeonhole yourself and so I’ve been the girl in the hood, I’ve been the pregnant prostitute, I’ve done the woman that could be stereotypical and so Cookie scared me.
“But the beauty in studying the craft is you don’t judge those characters. You find a way to make people empathize. Now, if I played her loud and sassy all the time people will go, ‘She’s a stereotype’. You don’t connect, but if you play the why the person is the way that she is then the character is not a stereotype. Then you are allowed to identify with her choices because you see her as a real person.”
Taraji jumped at the opportunity to play one of the African-American mathematicians who helped launch the first U.S. space mission in “Hidden Figures,” and the 46-year-old explains she wanted to show young girls and women they can take on careers in math and science if they choose to.
“I was hurt (when I read the script) because growing up as a young girl, there was an understanding that math and science was for boys,” she continued. “So immediately I felt like a dream had been stolen from me. After I got the script I thought, ‘That’s horrible, because what if I was allowed to dream to be a rocket scientist?’ Who knows where my life would be…
“I can think back in class when you have to pick your seats all through my educational life I chose to sit in the back of the classroom when it came to math and science because it was like, ‘Well it’s not for me’,” she added. “So I was upset and I made it my mission to be a part of this film because I didn’t want another girl to ever believe that her brain cannot understand numbers and rocket science. If boys can do it, you can do it too. A brilliant mind doesn’t have a color or a gender.”
(AllHipHop Rumors) Remember kids, it’s supposed to be another good year for Lil Wayne and his music in 2017.
Cool of Cool & Dre revealed that he and Lil Wayne had been cooking up some new music in the studio, and that he and Wayne were cutting some big records for 2017.
Weezy didn’t give us too much in 2016, but it looks like he plans on redeeming himself this year.
We were used to Wayne releasing a good bit of music on a consistent basis, but we all know that that lawsuit against Cash Money Records and his ongoing beef with Birdman has stressed this man out last year.
According to a post on Wayne’s Facebook page [or his official fanpage depending on who you ask], Weezy may be possibly dropping three projects.
The caption “CV. Funeral. D6” seems to allude to his long-awaited ‘Carter V’ album.
It looks like we will be getting that Funeral mixtape and the the 6th insallment of his DJ Drama collab, Dedication 6 mixtape as well!
Professional troll Martin Shkreli got the people talking when he claimed to have purchased an unreleased version of the album last month.
Who’s ready for some new music from Lil Wayne?! I am! Give us the music Wayne!
“I like Kim a lot she’s a very sweet person. In fact, all of them are very well mannered, very sweet, very polite,” said Naomi Campbell.
“In 2012 I was attacked in Paris. They followed me from the airport. They attacked me, they opened my car door and said Naomi Campbell we’re going to kill you. I just didn’t make it so public. I didn’t want it to be.”
“I had taken the plane from Switzerland to Paris, which is like one hour. I didn’t call security because I thought it was a quick trip,” Naomi Campbell said on The Wendy Williams Show.
“I was going to see my lovely Papa Azzedine Alaia. So I went out to the car it wasn’t my normal driver, and it was weird because he had the windows rolled down and it was November right before Thanksgiving. And I was like wait a minute this is weird. I wanted to stop at the pharmacy but thank god the pharmacy was closed …. my papa called and said “my daughter where are you we’re ready for dinner” so at that point I abandoned that idea. Thank god it was outside (his) shop because that’s where you get into the house …. they came out and saved me basically.”

(AllHipHop News) The DMV’s Marquis King is no longer going by the moniker Shy Glizzy, introducing the artist now known as Jefe.
The “Awwsome” performer spoke to Faderabout rebranding and reinventing himself as a “boss.”
“I earned the title Jefe.

From the get go I’ve been putting on for the city. That’s already been established. As Jefe, Shy Glizzy, or whatever name I’m going by — as a person, I represent for D.C. in every way possible.”

The last two years have seen the 24-year-old release Be Careful,For Trappers Only,and Young Jefe 2.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Kodak Black is back at it again with the sh-ts!
Kodak has certainly been receiving a bit of love since his release from jail last month.
The rapper got right back to the music, making appearances in Rae Sremmurd’s “Real Chill” and Yo Gotti’s “Weatherman” videos, and by hinting at forthcoming new music.
However, it’s starting to look like the rapper is getting the most attention for his NSFW antics and his publicity stunts.
Kodak knows how to get the people talking as he recently declared that he was the best rapper alive, and that Lil Wayne wasn’t.
He also exposed himself to many of his followers while live streaming while he was in the shower.
Kodak seems to like sexual related topics, but according to the women on Twitter, he won’t fare well in the adult entertainment industry without being well endowed.
Well in the latest #TweetAndDelete files, Kodak sent out some pretty disturbing tweets with some information about himself that no one wanted to see on their timeline.
Kodak tweeted,
“I’m Haitian We Don’t Believe In Circumcision #PullBackGang”
“I Got That Banana D.ck ? You Gotta Peel That Thing Back B4 You Eat It.”
While there are a good amount of men that aren’t circumcised, according to the timeline, the women weren’t here for it. A lot of men did clap back arguing that circumcision is unnatural.
(AllHipHop News) Wale has become the latest rapper to take shots at conservative talking head Tomi Lahren.
After Jay Z and Pusha T mocked TheBlaze host on their collaboration “Drug Dealers Anonymous,” Wale had some words for Lahren on his new song “Smile” featuring Phil Adé.
However, the DMV representative pronounced her name as “Tammy” on the track.
The Alt Right hate us
Some black baby mommas hate us
We only learn half of the drama, other side crazy
On behalf of Charlamagne I’m sure he ain’t trading sides
Maybe I should meet Tammy Lahren, I’ll Lauryn Hill her
Train her; she miseducated anyway
Prolly hate the color of my face
Lahren responded to the lyrics on Twitter.
“So if you’re gonna put someone in a song…diss ’em.. perhaps get their fricken name right next time [Wale],” she posted.
Wale fired back, “Ok Tammy.”
“Ok Whale,” replied Lahren.
So if you’re gonna put someone in a song…diss ’em.. perhaps get their fricken name right next time @Wale
(AllHipHop News) Jamie Foxx avoided rapper T.I. for months after brushing him off at a New Year’s Eve party many years ago.
The actor/singer admits he was drunk when the hip-hop star approached him and started to boast about his musical skills, and Jamie just thought he was a stranger looking for a career push.
Admitting he was “bad” to the young star, Foxx felt awful when he caught T.I.’s video for “U Don’t Know Me” on TV network BET – and recognized the star.
“I dodged this dude for months,” he told U.S. chat show host Ellen DeGeneres. “He’d be in L.A. and I’d be like, ‘That’s him… He’s a gangster too… He might kill me!'”
But he couldn’t stay away from T.I. forever and one day their paths crossed at a hotel:
“I come out the elevator and there’s T.I. and all of his boys and I went and rushed to the bar and grabbed a bottle of champagne… and I kneeled down and said, ‘My brother, I’m sorry’… I still apologise to him every time I see him…”
Foxx and T.I., real name Clifford Harris, are now in a movie together – the two hitmakers have teamed up for action thriller “Sleepless.”
(AllHipHop Rumors) Yeezy Yeezy is supposed to be taking a break but it looks like he’s still pretty active.
After Kanye West’s New York Fashion Week fail of a show, you would think he’d be taking a break from the fashion world. Apparently it looks like he actually has been even more motivated to do more in fashion.
Ye may even be getting ready to release a new Yeezy collection next month.
All I know is those models better not be dehydrated with bad shoes this time. LOL.
According to PageSix, fashion remains a top priority for Ye. A source close to the rapper claims that he has been working hard on his Yeezy Season 5 line, and he is also launching another apparel line.
While Kanye is trying to take less meetings, the rapper still remains fairly busy.
“He sounded great. He said he was trying to put less stuff on his schedule and be a little bit more restful. He’s scheduling less meetings and he said he was feeling much better.
He was still going 100 miles per hour with work. People were concerned that he was going right back to his schedule,” said the insider.”
West was supposed to have some ‘Calabassas’ track pants coming for Season 4. The rapper has been seen rocking them, and a few have made it into the hands of consumers Will you be sporting Kanye’s new fashion line?
I don’t know about yall, but Kanye’s clothes look like overpriced homeless chic to me!
(AllHipHop News)
more details are emerging in a fight between Snoop Dogg’s bodyguards, and a man during the funeral for comedian Ricky Harris.
A fight broke out during the deceased comedian’s funeral on Tuesday (January 4), when a man who turned out to be Ricky Harris’ cousin attempted to rush snoop.
The man got to close to Snoop and called him a “bi##h ass n##ga,” before Daz Dillinger and another associate of Snoop’s immediately intervened.
The rap star’s bodyguard eventually threw Harris’s cousin out of the funeral.
According to sources, the beef with Harris’s cousin was personal, and had nothing to do with separate issues Snoop was reportedly having with the Rollin’ 20 Crips in Long Beach.
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Kendrick Lamar is using his new Reebok sneaker design to promote unity and equality.
The “Poetic Justice” star, who is known for his politically-charged lyrics, became a brand ambassador for the sports giant in 2014 and with his latest signature shoe for the brand, he wants to draw attention to the need for people across the world to put their differences aside and “come together”.
Kendrick’s latest creation is a new twist on Reebok’s Club C model, and features acid-washed denim in black and white on the upper part of the shoe with a red label on the sneaker’s tongue.
The Reebok branding on the side is made in all black, with the ‘k’ and ‘o’ highlighted in red to represent the hip-hop star’s nickname, “Kdot”.
“Now more than ever it is important for individuals to come together as one,” Kendrick explained in a press release. “This sneaker represents that call for unity and equality, while also pushing people to look beneath the surface and uncover the hidden messages. This is something I try to do with my music, and now here with the Club C.”
The Kendrick Lamar x Reebok Club C is set to hit retailers on January 13, when it will carry a price tag of $109.99.
“Bro, all the jokes aside my ni##a. Seriously, we gonna set up this fight. It’s gonna be professional. You could do all that, but one thing you got to stop doing my ni##a, I’m going to be real with you. Stop bringing my daughter into this my ni##a,” Chris Brown snapped.
“Stop saying s##t about my f##king daughter, bro. This not no f##king game my ni##a. Now, you playing with something else. That’s gonna take this s### somewhere else.
“We setting up this fight. I’m gonna do everything. You gonna do all that. Stop talking, bro. If it’s already said, it’s said. I’m telling you right now. On Jesus Christ, on anybody, you f##king believe in. Allah, Buddha, I don’t give a f##k ni##a. On my daughter, stop talking about my daughter bro. That s##t ain’t cool. Real gangstas and street ni##as know, number one rule. No girls. No daughters. No kids. You’s a b##ch, my ni##a. Stop!”
The two men have been at odds over Soulja’s trolling of Karrueche Tran’s pictures on Instagram.
Soulja has been taunting Chris and making violent threats with Piru gang members on the streets of Compton, while Chris has been on his IG blasting Soulja and Karrueche Tran.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Let me get this straight, Soulja Boy apologized to everyone, said he was squashing his beef with Chris Brown, prayed for his sick mother, only to go right back to his bull.
Well as we know, neither Chris Brown or Soulja Boy are wrapped too tight, so Big Soulja is going to make gangster Chris Breezy with the dance moves snap.
Earlier this week Soulja Boy already took it pretty far by saying that Chris Brown is a crackhead that does drugs around his daughter. Chris Brown may not GAF about anything else, but he doesn’t play about his daughter Royalty.
As you know, Chris Brown’s accident-of-a-baby mama, Nia Guzman, can’t stand Chris Brown, so Soulja Boy made it clear that he wanted to get under Chris’ skin by claiming he chilled with both Nia and Chris’ daughter last night.
Big Gucci Soulja also posted a photo of Royalty with Floyd Mayweather and TheMoneyTeam tags on it, seeming to suggest that little Royalty was ready to see her father get that azz beat!
Sighs. Such a low blow Soulja Boy!
The real gotcha gotcha is that SB didn’t put the tags on the picture. Brown’s baby mama, Nia, reached deep in her petty bag and put the tags on the picture herself. Nia must still be upset that she isn’t getting that child support that she wants.
Well it looks like Floyd Mayweather has been smashing Nia, because I can’t really imagine any other reason he’d have her around other than to add to the e-feud and publicity stunt.
According to TMZ, Nia told them that the Royalty pic had nothing to do with Chris. She says she’s just been hanging with Floyd a lot lately, and Floyd is allegedly investing in Royalty’s future.
Side eye. Nia knows exactly what she’s doing as Floyd is supposedly training Soulja Boy for his charitable celebrity boxing match against Chris Brown.
If you are going to exploit your child girl, put some of Floyd’s money away for a rainy day. SMDH!
(AllHipHop News) Drake’s fans are overrunning the Toronto rap star’s social media with comments encouraging to make up with and even try to date fellow Young Money artist Nicki Minaj.
Meek and Nicki’s relationship came to an end today (January 5), after Nicki confirmed the break up via Twitter.
Drake’s fans are encouraging him to collaborate with Nicki Minaj, while others are urging the rapper to dump Jennifer Lopez and take a crack at Nicki, if she’s even with it.
Meek and Nicki’s relationship became a bit awkward after she began dating Meek Mill, even though the two Young Money artists have been close associates and collaborated on hits like “Moment 4 Life,” “Only” “Truffle Butter” and others.
One fan even believed Meek and Nicki’s breakup was a sign from God for Drake, who rapped the following lines on the song “Miss Me” with Lil Wayne:
I love Nicki Minaj, I told her I’d admit it/I hope one day we get married just to say we f###### did it
And girl I’m f###### serious, I’m with it if you with it/Cause your verses turn me on and your pants are mighty fitted
(AllHipHop News) Hit rapper YG and producer DJ Mustard are being sued by an artist who claims YG ripped him off and stole his lyrics for his debut album, My Krazy Life.
According to a new lawsuit filed by Richard Russell, aka “Grimmis,” he befriended YG in early of 2014.
Their friendship led to an agreement which allowed YG to use some of his previously created poems to incorporate in YG’s debut My Krazy Life.
For instance, Russell claims his recited his poem “B####! Who Do You Love?” for the song “Who Do You Love,” featuring superstar rapper Drake.
While he’s thankful for his appearance on the track, Richard Russell claims he’s never been compensated for his part on the hit single.
Richard Russell also claims it was his original poem titled “The Gladiator” at the beginning of YG’s song “BickenBackBeingBool,” yet he’s never seen a dime for his efforts.
“Defendants have refused to pay Russell for any portions of his contributions and refused to discuss with him any form of compensation for his performances and literary contributions to the songs,” the lawsut reads.
Richard Russell is suing YG, DJ Mustard and Def Jam for copyright infringement and fraud and he seeks an undetermined amount of damages.
Additionally, they were both in Miami on New Year’s Eve, but they decided to perform at separate venues and apparently ring in the New Year separately.
Nicki Minaj confirmed the split on Twitter today.
“To confirm, yes I am single,” Nicki Tweeted today (January 5). “Focusing on my work & looking forward to sharing it with you guys really soon. Have a blessed New Year. Love u?.”
To confirm, yes I am single. Focusing on my work & looking forward to sharing it with you guys really soon. Have a blessed New Year. Love u🎀
(AllHipHop Rumors) UHM. I can’t keep up with this madness but it seems like this JOKE is percolating into something. I am not sure what, but it sure is annoying. Soulja Boy has apparently signed some “contract” to fight Chris Brown aka Bhris Brown. These dudes are Piru? OK. Anyway, the videos below suggest that there is a fight brewing OR Floyd Mayweather is in on the joke. I think its the latter but I find it hard to believe that FM would allow himself to be swept up in this silliness that Mona Scott should have held onto for Love And Hip-Hop.
So, now we just have to wait for Bhris to sign the contract? Wasn’t dude SB just saying sorry?
