Is Kevin Gates Having Suicidal Thoughts?

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

Photo via Kevin Gates’ Instagram

It looks like all may not be well for rapper Kevin Gates. He posted a photo to his Instagram page pouring what appears to be “syrup/lean.” Gates has openly admitted to using other drugs in the past as well. It seems like he has also been battling a bit of depression. Many complained in Gates comments about his post because so many kids follow him. One fan even told him he doesn’t have to be a role model, but he could be a better example at least by keeping it to himself. Another fan told him,

“Help your body, not kill it bro.”

Kevin replied saying,

“I don’t wanna live here.”

Is Kevin Gates suicidal? He may be crying out for help.

Did Migos Steal The ‘Dab’ From This St. Louis Dance Crew?

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

The dab dance has certainly taken the world by storm as everyone from artists and athletes to news anchors are doing it. With the dance spreading like wildfire the question is who started the dance? You would think the obvious answer would be rap trio Migos, but everyone doesn’t agree. Bow Wow was relentlessly roasted for his explanation of the dab’s origin. He stated that dab is a strong way to smoke marijuana. He claims the dance came from you smoking and coughing into your arm. Migos and other quickly told Bow Wow and everyone else that Bow couldn’t tell anyone anything about dabbing. It seems that most have been under the impression that Migos created it and everyone else adopted the ad-lib and dance. A St. Louis dance crew, PHANTASTIK, begs to differ as they claim that they started the dance while simultaneously saying Migos are fraud. The dance crew says the dance was around long before Migos started claiming it. Do you think ATL jacked STL?

Did A Lab Technician Tamper With Meek Mill’s Urine?

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

Photo via Meek Mill’s Instagram

There actually may be more to the Meek Mill urine story in regards to his probation hearing. A source told DJ Akademiks that Meek did not substitute his urine with water and he actually took the test normally. There seems to have been an error with the lab technician who administered the test or with someone else involved in the entire process. It seems like the lab technician didn’t perform their job duties correctly. The technician also gave a shaky testimony in court that included contradictory statements. This whole case could be a fabricated attempt to make it seem like Meek tampered with his urine and actually violated his probation. We will see how this plays out.

Have Diddy & Cassie Officially Broken Up?

By: ClassicOneCategory: Rumors

Rumor has it that Diddy and Cassie have officially broken up. Cassie posted and deleted a subliminal shot on Instagram with a caption that said,

“How I sleep knowing that I’m single and nobody cheating on me.”

This post came after a picture hit the net of Diddy and his baby mama Kim Porter were spotted leaving the adult store Hustler. Apparently Kim isn’t completely the problem. Allegedly Cassie was the one to call off the relationship after Puff’s Revolt Music Conference in Miami because he allegedly had another woman named Gina Huynh there with him. It has been said that Huynh was also with Diddy the week before at the BET Hip Hop Awards. This is crazy. We remember Diddy kicking off cuffing season the year he started claiming Cassie. We also don’t believe Kim Porter is going anywhere ever.

Key Witness In 50 Cent Associate Mazaradi Fox Murder Case Charged With Perjury

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Prosecutors appeared to have a solid case against Jamal Scott, the man accused of killing 50 Cent associate Jamal “Mazaradi Fox” Green last year. However, the New York Daily News reports the government’s case could be in trouble after a key witness has been accused of lying in court.

[ALSO READ: Former G-Unit Rapper Mazaradi Fox Killed, 50 Cent Offers Condolences]

Rayesha Brockington was charged with perjury and currently being held on $77,500 bail. Brockington told a grand jury in 2014 that Scott fired into a SUV she and Mazaradi were riding in the day of the shooting. She was wounded during the attack.

Brockington later testified at a pre-trial hearing in July that police detectives coerced her into picking Scott out of a lineup. She also alleged the NYPD threatened to report her to Children’s Services if she did not provide information beneficial to the case against Scott.

Queens prosecutors have been forced to reduce Scott’s bail to $5,000. A federal judge released him on house arrest with an electronic ankle bracelet to monitor his whereabouts. Brockington’s lawyer has stated his client will fight the charges of giving false testimony under oath.

Investigators believed Fox’s killing was retaliation for the 1998 murder of Scott’s older brother. The gunman was said to be wearing a black ski mask. Scott was charged with second-degree murder, attempted murder, and felony assault after his arrest in 2014.

In January of 2014, 50 Cent sent condolences to Fox’s loved ones via a tweet shortly after the former G-Unit member’s death was announced. Fox was 42-year-old.

Songs By Meek Mill, Eminem, Wiz Khalifa, Nick Cannon & More Are In Contention For Oscar Nominations

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Oscar season is getting started. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) released its list of 74 records in contention to be nominated for “Best Original Song” at the 88th Academy Awards. Several notable Hip Hop tracks are among the potential nominees.

[ALSO READ: Kendrick Lamar Earns 11 Nominations For The 58th Annual Grammy Awards]

The critically acclaimed boxing movie Creed has three songs on the list: “Fighting Stronger” by Meek Mill, Jhené Aiko & Ludwig Göransson; “Grip” by Tessa Thompson, “Waiting For My Moment” by Donald Glover, Jhené Aiko, Vince Staples & Ludwig Göransson.

Eminem’s contribution to another film about the sweet science is in the running. Southpaw‘s “Phenomenal” is listed. The Academy is also still considering three songs from Spike Lee’s controversial Chi-Raq: Nick Cannon’s “Pray 4 My City,” Jennifer Hudson’s “I Run,” and Mali Music’s”Sit Down For This.”

Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” from Furious Seven, Awreeoh’s “It’s My Turn Now” from Dope, The Weeknd’s “Earned It” from Fifty Shades of Grey are still in the competition. The Will Smith led movie Concussion has the song “So Long” by Leon Bridges among the finalists as well.

Only three Hip Hop acts have ever won the Oscar for Best Original Song. Em won it in 2002 for “Lose Yourself” from 8 Mile. Three years later members of Three 6 Mafia took home the golden statue for “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp” from Hustle & Flow. Common and John Legend earned the Academy Award earlier this year for “Glory” off the Selma soundtrack.

The 88th Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, January 14, 2016. The 88th Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 28 and will be televised live on ABC.

Alleged Snippets From Wu-Tang Clan’s “Once Upon A Time In Shaolin” Leak Online

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Martin Shkreli may be one of the most hated men in the world at the moment. Besides receiving widespread condemnation for raising the price of a life saving HIV drug over 5000%, the head of Turing Pharmaceuticals also became the #1 villain of Wu-Tang Clan fans when he reportedly bought the NYC collective’s one-of-a-kind, secret album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin.

[ALSO READ: Wu-Tang Clan’s Secret “Once Upon A Time In Shaolin” Album Has Been Purchased]

Shkreli can now be seen on video saying, “Plans for the album? I don’t know. I’ll probably never even hear it. I just thought it would be funny to keep it from people.” But alleged cell phone recorded snippets from the project bought for a reported $2 million have leaked online.

Listeners can hear about 8 minutes of music supposedly from the RZA-led, Cilvaringz-produced album. Once Upon A Time In Shaolin was contractually required to be kept from commercial use for 88 years.

“After 88 years the copyright, which includes public and commercial rights, automatically transfers to the owner of the work,” said Cilvaringz earlier this year. “However, it will still be his or her choice at that [point] to release it or not release it.”

Wu devotees hoping the Clan (or actor Bill Murray) will be able to steal Shaolin back from Shkreli should not expect that heist to happen. Despite numerous news reports the two parties had the legal right to swipe the LP, the “Bill Murray Clause” turned out to be a hoax.

Radio Host Alex Jones Blasts Rick Ross For Rapping About Assassinating Donald Trump (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Rick Ross has become a target for radio host Alex Jones. The libertarian mouthpiece often referred to as a “conspiracy theorist” took aim at the Miami rapper for his song “Free Enterprise.” The Black Market track includes the lyrics “assassinate [Donald] Trump like I’m [George] Zimmerman.”

“The fake Rick Ross, the jail guard who preys on black people for MTV. Rick Ross, the fake one, says, ‘Kill Trump.’ Oh, you so hard when you weren’t locking black people up,” Jones told his audience. “Now you teach them how to be thugs so you can lock them up again. You work for the man don’t you Judas goat. You big old fat punk.”

Jones then claimed President Barack Obama was behind Ross rapping about killing Trump. The 41-year-old Texas native is a defender of the billionaire businessman’s bid for the White House, and he has been a supporter of Freeway Rick Ross in the past. The former drug kingpin is a longstanding critic of his Hip Hop namesake.

(AllHipHop News) Former Rick Ross associate and Queens representative Bang Em Smurf spoke with Report Card Radio’s Mikey T The Movie Star about the Maybach Music Group boss visiting Queens. The New York borough is the original home of Ross’ rival 50 Cent, and Smurf believes the trip was meant to be a message to the G-Unit leader.

“That’s a jab [at 50], because when he was dealing with me there was no business. He wasn’t doing nothing for me and the hood, so now he wants to do all this,” said Smurf. “That’s corny to me. That’s lame n*gga sh*t. Who gives a f*ck?”

In addition, Smurf spoke on Rozay doing a freestyle over 50’s “In Da Club” beat for his Renzel Remixes mixtape. He also called that move corny and nothing more than a publicity stunt for Ross to promote his new album Black Market.
