(AllHipHop News) Rappers Rae Sremmurd have landed a second week at the top of the U.S. pop charts with their ‘Mannequin Challenge’ anthem “Black Beatles.”

The Gucci Mane collaboration, which soundtracks many of the celebrity freeze-offs posted online, keeps The Chainsmokers’ former number one “Closer” pegged to two on the new Billboard Hot 100 countdown, while The Weeknd’s “Starboy” is steady at three.

Ariana Grande’s “Side to Side,” which she performed at the American Music Awards with Nicki Minaj on Sunday night – before landing Artist of the Year honors, jumps into the top five at four, while Twenty One Pilots, who also performed at the AMAs, round out the top five with “Heathens.”

The song “Black Beatles” can credit its popularity to the #MannequinChallenge, where social media users post videos of people freezing in place as “Black Beatles” plays in the background.

The hit single was produced by Mike Will Made It.

(AllHipHop News) Eminem’s ex-wife Kim Mathers has been sentenced to probation, after she was busted for DUI in October 15, of 2015.

Kim appeared in court earlier today, and was sentenced to one year of probation, received a $900 fine, and she must undergo additional counseling and drug testing.

The whole ordeal started on October 7, 2015, after Kim decided to drive drunk in Cadillac Escalade, after she consumed a fifth of Malibu rum and did drugs.

She also told police that she crashed her the escalade on purpose, during a suicide attempt.

“I apologized immensely. I did not even expect to make it through that, and I told (police) that I tried to do this on purpose. I’m so sorry,” Kim Mathers said during a radio interview on Detroit’s “Mojo in the Morning” after the crash.

Kim also said her famous ex-husband Eminem has been supportive through the entire ordeal.

“He’s been real supportive,” Kim said during the interview. “We’re really close friends. We’re just trying to raise our kids together and make it as normal for them as possible.”

(AllHipHop Rumors) Well, as you know your “favorite” rapper Future doesn’t have the best track record with relationships or respecting other people’s relationships and happy homes, so it’s no surprise that he and Scottie Pippen’s wife, Larsa Pippen, have fueled their fling rumors again.

Once again the two looked like more than just friends as Pippen helped the Atlanta rapper celebrate his 33rd birthday in Beverly Hills over the weekend.

Larsa attended the party with Kourtney Kardashian, and according to sources, stood close to Future for most of the night.

Last month rumors began to swirl that the reason Scottie Pippen was filing for divorce from Larsa was because she was hooking up with Future on the low. She was allegedly jumping on Future’s private jet, and traveling to various cities with him.

It didn’t help that Future also posted a photo with the caption, “She’s mine nowwwwwww” amid the drama last month.

Although Larsa claimed that her and Future are just friends, even we’ve heard that Future was hitting that. Carry on!

(AllHipHop News) The story of Hip Hop icon Tupac Shakur will be hitting the big screen next summer.

The long awaited All Eyez On Me biopic now has a release date.

AEOM producer L.T. Hutton revealed the Benny Boom-directed film will arrive on 2Pac’s birthday  – June 16, 2017.

“What I’ve explained to everybody is that this won’t be a long music video. We cut a lot of that type of stuff,” Hutton told AllHipHop.com in 2014.

He added, “We know the famous Tupac. We know all that. We’re going to give you a splash of that too, but we’re spending our chips on that drama of Who is this guy? Where did he come from? Everything else is out there. You can find that, but what you can’t find is what made this guy who he is – that earlier part, 16, 17 years old.”

The movie stars Demetrius Shipp Jr. as Pac, Danai Gurira as Afeni Shakur, Kat Graham as Jada Pinkett, Jamal Woolard as The Notorious B.I.G, Dominic L. Santana as Suge Knight, and Erica Pinkett as Ayanna Jackson.

Earlier this year, Pinkett also spoke to AllHipHop.com about the highly anticipated motion picture.

“I know L.T. Hutton, Benny Boom, and Afeni Shakur were not going to let 2Pac’s legacy go down the drain by not telling the most genuine story,” said Pinkett. “I know this movie will be an amazing story and film. There’s so much passion behind every single person that was part of this project. I have no doubt that this will be anything less than epic and a classic.”

(AllHipHop News) Yasiin “Mos Def” Bey will be allowed to exit South Africa.

In January, the American-born emcee/actor was arrested in the country for allegedly attempting to use a “fraudulent passport” at Cape Town International Airport in January.

“[He] has unreservedly apologized to the Government of South Africa,” stated the South African Home Affairs Department. “The department is satisfied with the apology [and] will withdraw the charges against him.”

Bey claimed he possessed a “world passport” issued by the non-profit organization known as the World Service Authority.

The WSA also issues “world citizen” documents like birth certificates, identity cards, and marriage certificates.

Even the WSA does not guarantee a country – especially Western nations such as Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, and the United States – will accept a world passport.

Applicants must sign a statement saying they understand the world passport’s limitations.

WSA founder Garry Davis was arrested numerous times for using a world passport.

Bey has lived in Cape Town since 2013, but he will not be allowed to re-enter the country.

South Africa’s Ministry of Home Affairs spokesperson Mayihlome Tshwete replied to comments about Mos Def on Twitter.

“[Yasiin Bey] is undesirable in SA,” wrote Tshwete in one tweet.

(AllHipHop News) Rap star Common will team with Patti Labelle to host a free concert hosted by Rosie Perez in Los Angeles, to bring attention to World Aids Day.

The rapper and the legendary singer are two of several artists who will host “Keep The Promise” concerts in Los Angeles, Cambodia and Mexico City with the AIDS Health Foundation (AHF).

Common and Patti will hit the stage in Los Angeles, where veteran actor/activist Harry Belafonte will be honored with AHF’s lifetime acheivement award for his charitable and advocacy work around the world.

“Our hope is that our upcoming World AIDS Day Keep the Promise concert and march serve as a potent reminder that the fight against HIV/AIDS is not yet won and that these events serve as a clarion call to action,” said AHF’s President Michael Weinstein.

“The irony is that we are the victims of our own success: As the AIDS situation improves, with better treatments and more people being able to access them, the urgency of winning the war against AIDS here in the U.S. and around the globe has diminished,” Weinstein said.

The Keep the Promise concert in Los Angeles with Common and Patti Labelle will take place November 30 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West has been hospitalized after cancelling his Saint Pablo tour.

The outspoken rapper was reportedly taken to UCLA Medical Center on Monday for exhaustion, multiple reports say. The matter manifested about 1:20 pm PST.

The rapper was listed as “medically stable” from a report from USA Today, but “was taken to an area hospital for further assessment.”

This new development evolves after West, 39, stated he “would’ve voted for Donald Trump” at a tour date in Inglewood, Calif. The result was a firestorm of backlash and controversy.

After that, the rapper/singer dissed Beyonce and Jay Z, demanding that his one-time rap partner call him, but not kill him. “Call me, brah, you still ain’t call me. Jay Z, I know you got killas, please don’t send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man,” he said from a ill-received Sunday date. Ticketmaster refunded tickets for that concert that was largely dominated by the rant.

Kanye West cancelled the remaining 21 tour dates on Monday.

(AllHipHop News) Late soul star Sharon Jones suffered a stroke while watching Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential victory, according to her bandmate.

The leader of the Dap-Kings passed away aged 60 last Friday (November 18) after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Dap-Kings member Gabriel Roth, also known as Bosco Mann, said that the singer’s health worsened irrevocably after she suffered a stroke while watching the U.S. presidential election earlier this month.

And Gabriel added that Sharon blamed the stress of watching controversial billionaire Donald Trump emerge as America’s 45th president for her stroke.

“Well, she’d been fighting cancer for a few years now, and there’s been all kinds of stuff coming at her,” he said. “But the thing that actually got her in the last couple of weeks was, she had a stroke watching the election results. After that first stroke she couldn’t move her leg, but she could still talk.

“I flew out and met her up in the hospital in Cooperstown, and I saw her and she told the people that were there that Trump gave her the stroke. She was blaming Trump for the whole thing.”

On November 9, the day after the vote, Sharon suffered another stroke which left her unable to speak.
However Gabriel revealed that during her final days she was able to hum along to songs with her bandmates, all of whom visited her before she passed away.

“We all just kept playing and singing with her, and little by little over the next couple of days she actually started moving her mouth and started singing lyrics,” he said. “She just wanted to sing these gospel songs. Every time we’d stop, she’d just keep singing ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘Go Tell It On the Mountain’ and ‘This Little Light of Mine’. We just stayed with her and sang with her and played music with her.”

In a moving tribute to the frontwoman, the bass guitarist added, “I mean, she was the strongest person any of us had ever known, and she just kept singing. She didn’t want to stop singing.”
