Letitia Wright Flames The Hollywood Reporter Over “Personal Vendetta”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

Letitia Wright has accused journalists at The Hollywood Reporter of having a “personal vendetta” against her by bringing up her 2020 anti-vaccine controversy in an article about her Oscars chances.

The “Black Panther” actress came under fire two years ago when she shared an anti-vax conspiracy video on Twitter.

Wright swiftly apologized and deleted her account.

The Hollywood Reporter’s awards editor Scott Feinberg published a story titled “How Personal Baggage Will Impact Oscar Chances,” in which he questioned how Will Smith, Brad Pitt, and Wright’s chances might be affected by private controversies.

The article also mentioned the likes of Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, who received nominations at the Oscars despite allegations of abuse.

The Guyanese-British actress responded to the “disrespectful” piece on her Instagram Stories on Monday night.

“How dare you. You mentioned my name alongside men who have been accused of abuse & sexual misconduct. This is vile behavior,” she wrote. “At this point a personal vendetta towards me. I’ve done nothing wrong but respectfully refused to do interviews with this publication. Stop your nonsense.”

The 29-year-old then accused the publication of publishing a false story in October 2021, claiming she expressed anti-vax sentiments on the set of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

She called the report “completely untrue” at the time.

“I apologized TWO years ago,” she wrote of her controversy. “Remained silent on the topic. You lied and said I continued talking about it with my cast and crew on my set. THIS WAS NOT TRUE. ASK MY PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR. The film is successful. Your agenda towards me is now even more clear. I won’t remain silent. Stop your disgusting behavior.”

In a separate message directed at the journalist himself, Wright insisted that she “kept (her) head down” while “the world told me to kill myself two years ago” before turning her attention to the “Black Panther” sequel.

“Did my performance rattle you that much? It was that excellent huh? I’m still here, still making impact, still creating projects that touch peoples (sic) hearts and it’s not going to stop. Get a life, like for real,” she concluded.

In an interview with The Guardian, Wright was asked directly if she had been vaccinated and she replied, “I have apologized and I have moved on. Next question. Thanks.”

Kim Kardashian Tells North West Exactly How She Was Conceived

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

Kim Kardashian told her daughter North West about her conception during the latest episode of Hulu reality series “The Kardashians.”

While on a visit to designer Olivier Rousteing’s studio in preparation for an appearance at Paris Fashion Week in July, the SKIMS co-founder opened up about the night she and her then-partner Kanye West conceived their first child.

“Northie, I’ve known Olivier since before you were a baby. And he gave daddy this blue dress that daddy wanted for me,” she said. “It was my birthday the year before you were born and I wore the dress, and I got pregnant and you got in my belly the night I wore that dress.

“So, Olivier might have a little something to do with the reason you’re on this planet.”

Despite the revelation, North, nine, appeared non-plussed and continued eating a snack. Kim then went on to share that she takes each of her children on a special trip with her each year.

“It just also shows my daughter the work I’m putting in. There is a whole business behind it so I like to show her that like this is still fun for me. Work could be fun,” the 42-year-old continued.

Kim and Kanye are also parents to Saint, six, Chicago, four, and three-year-old Psalm.

Elsewhere in the episode, the TV personality recalled the advice Demi Moore once gave her before she made her first runway appearance.

In a chat with Balenciaga creative director Demna, the brunette beauty confessed that she last walked a catwalk for Ed Hardy as part of Los Angeles Fashion Week in 2006.

“Demi Moore gave me really good advice because I just said I’m walking in a show and I didn’t tell her what… and I don’t remember what that advice was and it’s in my text messages. But it was really good and I’m gonna look at it before,” she commented. “She goes, ‘Anytime I do something I’m nervous about, think about what you’re receiving instead of what you’re giving…’ Or maybe it’s the opposite way… I don’t know, I’ll re-read it.”

Kelly Rowland Says Chris Brown Deserves Grace And Forgiveness

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

Kelly Rowland believes Chris Brown deserves “grace and forgiveness” for his past mistakes after he was booed at the American Music Awards on Sunday.

The Destiny’s Child singer accepted the Favorite Male R&B Artist AMAs trophy on Brown’s behalf and told the crowd to “chill out” after several audience members booed and shouted about his win.

Brown remains a controversial figure in the music industry 13 years after he assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna before the 2009 Grammy Awards.

Rowland was approached by TMZ on Monday and asked for her response to Brown being booed.

“I believe that grace is very real and we all need a dose of it,” she said. “Before we point fingers at anybody we should realise how grateful we are, for every moment that we get, for even our own things that we have. I just think it’s important to remember to be human, we are humans.”

The 41-year-old was then asked if he needed to be forgiven, and she replied, “We all need to be forgiven, for anything we could be doing, anything that we’re thinking, we all come up short in some sort of way. And grace is real, and we are humans, and everybody deserves grace, period.”

When she accepted the award on Brown’s behalf, Rowland said, “I want to tell Chris, thank you so much for making great music, and I want to tell him thank you for being an incredible performer. I’ll take this award and bring it to you, I love you! Congratulations, and congratulations to all the nominees in this category.”

Brown was originally to perform a dance tribute to Michael Jackson at the ceremony, but it was scrapped.

On Monday, Ciara shared footage of her rehearsing the Thriller dance routine with Brown, revealing that she would have appeared in the tribute too.

Instagram Wrong To Bow To Pressure From Cops To Remove Drill Music Video, Meta Board Says

By: London JennnCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

Meta’s oversight board said the company was wrong for bowing to police pressure to remove a clip of drill music, forcing Instagram to reinstate the post.

The U.K.’s Metropolitan police requested the removal of a snippet of the song “Secrets Not Safe” by Chinx (OS), arguing the track could lead to “retaliatory violence.” Cops claimed the song referenced a 2017 shooting and contained a “veiled threat,” leading Meta to act. They removed the song wherever it appeared on the social media platform.

Listen to “Secrets Not Safe” by Chinx (OS) at the end of the page.

However, the watchdog said the track does not break any of Facebook or Instagram’s rules. They also state allowing a police operation to censor a musician in secret poses a breach of equality and transparency.

“While law enforcement can sometimes provide context and expertise, not every piece of content that law enforcement would prefer to have taken down should be taken down,” the board said in its ruling as per the Guardian.

“It is therefore critical that Meta evaluates these requests independently, particularly when they relate to artistic expression from individuals in minority or marginalised groups for whom the risk of cultural bias against their content is acute.”

Meta Removed 255 Drill Music Posts At Cops Request

The oversight board discovered Met police filed 286 requests to take down or review posts about drill music in a year. The overwhelming majority, 255 of those cases, were approved for removal. There were no requests to remove any other music genre.

“This intensive focus on one music genre among many that include reference to violence raises serious concerns of potential over-policing of certain communities,” the board argued.

Cops were not arguing the drill music broke any U.K. laws, rather they claimed the song had broken Facebook and Instagram community standards. Despite providing no evidence, cops argued the drill music in question was “potentially threatening or likely to contribute to imminent violence or physical harm.”

In a statement, Meta said: “We do not remove content simply because law enforcement requests it – we take action if content is found to violate our policies or local law.”

The board also recommended an overhaul in Meta’s removal policy, calling for transparency concerning content removal requests from law enforcement and other state actors. They also advised Meta to assess their decisions for systemic biases against communities or minorities.

Ryan Coogler Gives “Wakanda Forever” Fans Props For Thanksgiving

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

Director Ryan Coogler has thanked cinemagoers for supporting “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

Following the death of his “Black Panther” actor Chadwick Boseman in 2020, Coogler had to scrap his original idea for the sequel and create a new story that honored Wakanda’s late leader T’Challa as well as Boseman by extension.

On the eve of America’s Thanksgiving, Coogler expressed his gratitude for those who turned out to see the new movie, which was released earlier this month.

“Gratitude. That is the only word that comes to mind for your support of our work on the film ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.’ I am filled with it,” he wrote in his typed letter, which was shared on Marvel’s social media accounts. “This medium wouldn’t exist without an audience, and I thank you for giving me a professional purpose, and an emotional outlet. I look forward to bringing you more stories in the future.”

Coogler went on to thank fans for getting behind the sequel despite its lengthy runtime, the use of subtitles, and emotional heaviness.

“Our film is over two and a half hours long, so thank you for holding those bathroom breaks,” he continued. “Our film has six languages spoken in it. Thank you for bearing with the subtitles. And our film deals with the inescapable human emotion of grief. Thank you for opening yourself up to the emotional journey of this film. We made something to honor our friend, who was a giant in our industry, and we also made something to be enjoyed in a theatrical setting with friends, family, and strangers.”
The Fruitvale Station director closed his note with “Chadwick Forever” and “Long Live T’Challa.”

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, and Danai Gurira, has currently taken more than $560 million at the global box office.

British Actor Daniel Craig Hates The Thanksgiving Food Americans Eat

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Pop NewsNovember 24, 2022

Daniel Craig has mixed views on traditional Thanksgiving dishes.

During an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” the British actor confessed he is “not so good with the fixings” when it comes to cooking for the holiday.

And while he likes cranberry sauce, Daniel views stuffing as “an abomination.”

“It’s just wet bread that you mix with herb,” commented host Stephen, to which the James Bond star replied, “And stuff up the a**e of a chicken or turkey!”

“I think it should be cooked separately. It’s good but I don’t think it should be anywhere near the bird. I don’t think you need it, it’s too complicated,” he continued.

Daniel, who is married to Rachel Weisz, announced in 2019 that he had become an American citizen.

And even though Thanksgiving foods don’t convince the actor, he does enjoy celebrating the occasion with friends.

“I do understand Thanksgiving. It’s about giving thanks, as far as I understand,” the 54-year-old joked. “I have and we do celebrate it. In fact, I have American friends as well so I’ve celebrated for quite a long time. I do. I think it’s probably my favourite holiday.”

The New Jersey artist recorded the 16-song project before his arrest, releasing it at midnight on Thanksgiving. Jim Jones returns as a guest feature following his appearance on “Careful Who You Love” on Tsu Surf’s 2020 effort, MSYKM.

Tsu Surf thanked his “big sis” Remy Ma for her feature on Disparu’s “Wait 4 Me,” a somber track about leaving behind those you love.

The legendary battle rapper pleaded not guilty in October after surrendering to U.S. Marshals following his indictment alongside nine others in a RICO case. They are accused of various criminal activities, including murder, moving drugs, robbery, and theft . Feds have been investigating since the men since 2015.

Feds accuse Tsu Surf of shooting at a rival gang member in 2017. They also allege he participated in selling weed on Instagram. Prosecutors claim he is an active member of Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips sect, the Silverbacc Gorillas or “SBG.”

Joe Budden Reacts To RICO Arrest

Surf’s good friend and former collaborator Joe Budden recalled “sobbing” at “a mere rumor of Surf being taken on a RICO,” before it was confirmed.

“I don’t know how bad it is, how severe it is,” he said during a recent episode of his podcast. Unfortunately, I did not get to speak to Surf right before he left, but I love him of course, I support him. Anything that he, his mom, his family needs from me, I’m there. He already know, that just goes unsaid for me.”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

Nick Cannon revealed he is happy with the number of children he’s fathered.

The hip-hop star and television personality gave his perspective on fatherhood.

Nick has fathered 11 children, with one more expected this year.

In his interview, Nick called fatherhood his “number one priority, obviously,” explaining, “I wake up being a father, thinking about my kids, and then everything else comes after that.”

Yung Gravy Denies He Is “Stuffing” Addison Rae’s Mom

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

Yung Gravy has revealed he isn’t in a relationship with Addison Rae’s mom Sheri Easterling.

The rapper and TikTok star walked the red carpet together in coordinating lavender outfits at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards in Newark, New Jersey, in August, leading many to believe they were an item.

However, despite their public displays of affection on the red carpet, Yung Gravy set the record straight in an interview with E! News and insisted they are not dating.

“When they asked me to do the VMAs, I had never watched them before,” he said. “I’ve seen clips, but I never watched a red carpet thing before. I didn’t really know what it meant. I was like, ‘Oh, I need a date. It would just be a fun little date.’ I guess everyone just assumes if you bring someone that you’re together together.

“I needed a date and we had flirted online before and I invited her to come through. We got a couple of nights beforehand to chill before the actual thing so it wasn’t like we just met, but she’s a sweetheart. We had a good time. We are not ‘dating dating’. It’s hard to date when you’re traveling all the time.”

The 26-year-old, real name Matthew Hauri, did little to dispel the speculation on the VMAs red carpet as he told MTV reporters at the time that he and Sheri met online and “connected right away.”

“I’m into MILFs, and she’s kind of the queen of MILFs, so I figured it was just the perfect match,” he said of the 43-year-old.

Sheri confirmed she had split from Addison’s father, Monty Lopez, in July.

What’s The Deal On This Joint Album From Jay Z And Beyonce?

By: Corey CopelandCategory: RumorsNovember 24, 2022

Whoever says business and pleasure don’t mix, never met Jay Z and Beyonce. Their love continues to be a living embodiment of a power couple.

In case you missed it, the Carters are now tied at 88 for the most Grammy nominations in history. Now, we may be receiving a joint album with the latest installments of Queen B’s Renaissance coming soon.

https://twitter.com/kylebuchanan/status/1593406639628963840?s=20&t=O-yI9jmvFyyaGBtacwjYjA

Back in July, Bey took to Instagram to share insight on how the project came about. “This three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic. A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative.”

With this in mind, there’s no telling where her creativity may lead.

New York Times reporter Kyle Buchanan took to Twitter to inform the #beyhive and fans alike to expect part two of Renaissance to be an acoustic rendering while part three will be a collaboration with Jay Z.

Anytime the pair collaborates, the culture wins. Songs such as, “Crazy In Love,” “’03 Bonnie & Clyde” and “Drunk In Love” still live on in playlists today.

Not to mention their 2018 Everything Is Love album spawned in the midst of their On The Run II Tour. That joint effort earned them a 2019 Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album.

Still, no word from the Carters on a release date or any other particulars but the news itself is enough to make you start planning an outfit for the next concert.

Ice T Says He Has No Opinion On Ye’s Antisemitic Rants

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

Ice T explained why he wouldn’t speak out against Kanye West’s antisemitic remarks.

While speaking to AllHipHop for an interview, the “Cop Killer” rapper was asked why he hasn’t made a statement on recent antisemitic remarks perpetuated by Donda rapper Kanye West.

“I don’t really have any opinion, and I don’t want to be somebody trying to slander somebody. That’s not fly,” Ice T explained. “Right now, people want just come out and say s**t. I mean, whatever my view, I like to keep that in private.”

He added, “It’s not gangster to come out and talk about somebody like that.”

The rapper further argued Kanye himself worked as an example – though one may have the right to free speech, you still need to “watch what you say.”

Ice T concluded, “So, when you say something, you have to be prepared for the ramifications of what you say, and apparently he is.”

Kanye has faced backlash over the last two months for antisemitic comments he’s made online and in interviews.

The rapper and Yeezy designer tweeted in October he would go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE”, mis-referencing the United States military term “DEFCON 3.”

Balenciaga, Adidas, and Gap have since cut ties with Kanye, and his ex-girlfriend Julia Fox called herself “delusional” in a TikTok for thinking she could help him during their relationship.

Balenciaga Apologizes Following Backlash

Meanwhile, Balenciaga issued an apology in response to the backlash, admitting children should never have featured in the campaign.

“We sincerely apologize for any offense our holiday campaign may have caused,” read a statement on their Instagram Stories. “Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign. We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms.”

However, hours later, Balenciaga issued a second apology after social media sleuths pointed out references to child pornography in the adverts.

The second statement reads: “We apologize for displaying unsettling documents in our campaign. We take this matter very seriously and are taking legal action against the parties responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for our Spring 23 campaign photoshoot.”

In conclusion Balenciaga said, “We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children safety and well-being.”

The label removed all posts from their IG page and also reportedly threatened to sue the photographer who shot the campaign.

In response to the threat of legal action, Gabriele Galimberti told Newsweek: “I am not in a position to comment [on] Balenciaga’s choices, but I must stress that I was not entitled in whatsoever manner to neither choose the products, nor the models, nor the combination of the same.”

Never forget that @BALENCIAGA deleted their Twitter and all other Social Media posts to cover up the fact they were sexualizing children.#balenciagagate https://t.co/5q1p5MOJI7

Exactly! I’m in the fashion industry and there is no way specially premium price brands are careless with their shoot. So many levels of approvals go through it. Everyone is at fault not just the photographer and director #balenciaga #BalenciagaGate https://t.co/QwU1VKKKZl

Charleston White Pulls Gun On Interviewer After Disrespecting FBG Duck’s Mother

By: London JennnCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

YouTuber Charleston White has made headlines once again with his controversial antics after pulling a gun out during a recent interview.

White was a guest on Chicago’s DJ U Go Crazy podcast, where he continued to diss late Chi-Town rappers King Von and FBG Duck.

However, things went all the way left when DJ U attempted to defend the slain rappers’ families after Charleston White repeatedly referred to Duck’s mother as a “b####.”

“F### your pain. B####, give me back the money then, hoe,” Charleston yelled. “I ain’t have to help not one of you. My momma ain’t gotta bunch of kids that died. B####, I hope y’all hoes bury y’all babies. F### y’all pain, b####. Give me back my g###### money, hoe. Or suck my dick b####.”

Charleston White continued, “And Chicago, f### y’all. Suck my dick, b####. I keep a g###### gun for whatever. N####, I don’t give a f### about s###. I keep a g###### gun. N####, I keep a g###### gun, Chicago.”

DJ U shared a clip of the exchange on social media, claiming he gave the YouTuber the benefit of the doubt as he claims his “disrespectful” antics are just his online persona.

“I represent CHICAGO any and everywhere I go,” the Chicago DJ penned in the caption. “I was giving this goof ass old man the benefit of the doubt cause he claim to be “in character” when saying sum of the disrespectful s### he be saying but where I’m from once U up on a mf U gotta use it.” Watch the clip below and check out the build-up in the video at the end of the page.

Meanwhile earlier this year, Charleston White and his gun went viral for another reason. He reportedly shot himself while in a strip club in September.

Kanye West Links With White Nationalist Nick Fuentes

By: London JennnCategory: NewsNovember 24, 2022

Kanye West has been spotted with another concerning figure from the alt-right Nick Fuentes, following his announcement to run for president in 2024.

Earlier this week (Nov. 22), the Donda creator revealed he visited Donald Trump at his Mar-A-Lago estate, where he had a question for the former commander-in-chief. Kanye asked his former opponent in the 2020 election to be his running mate in the 2024 race.

While Ye has long since been a vocal supporter of Trump, despite allegedly receiving death threats for doing so, his new associations are worrying.

On Wednesday, footage of Kanye West at the Miami airport with white nationalist Nick Fuentes surfaced, reportedly taken before his Trump meeting. Other reports state that Fuentes and Ye were also seen together at Trump’s golf club.

Fuentes, who hosts an online show called America First, rose to prominence in alt-right circles after becoming an influential figure during the “Stop the Steal” movement. The organization aimed to overturn the 2020 election result in favor of Donald Trump.

He also participated in the 2017 white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville. An avowed neo-Nazi drove his car into a group of counterprotesters during the rally, killing a woman and injuring 35 people.

Like Milo Yiannopoulos who Kanye West recently asked to join his election campaign, Nick Fuentes also espouses racist, antisemitic, and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric.

“You can call us racists, white supremacists, Nazis, & bigots,” Fuentes wrote in a Facebook post following the deadly 2017 “Unite the Right” rally, as per SPLC. “You can disavow us on social media from your cushy Campus Reform job. But you will not replace us. The rootless transnational elite knows that a tidal wave of white identity is coming. And they know that once the word gets out, they will not be able to stop us. The fire rises!”

Nick Fuentes also used the n-word during a broadcast of “America First,” aired in January 2022. He referred to Steve Bannon as a “fat retard,” who is trying to “flood the zone with n##### votes.” Watch the clip below.

On other occasions, Fuentes argued segregation and Jim Crow was better for Black people.

“They had to drink out of a different water fountain,” Fuentes said, according to Mother Jones. “Oh no, they had to go to different schools. Their water fountain in that famous picture was worse. Who cares? Grow up, drink out of the f###### water fountain. It’s water, it’s the same. Even if it was bad, who cares. We all agree, it’s better for them, it’s better for us. It’s better in general.”

He also struggles to not let the n-word slip out during broadcasts and uses homophobic slurs.

“They probably called into the lobby, these f######—I almost just said the n-word right there. Whatever, f##### leftists, nice try. These Blacks at the counter, they’re f###### up my opsec.”
