Neil Nines Starts a Fire with Heath Allen

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

Consistent volume is the name of the game today. The issue is the craftsmanship is often lost in translation: not the case with Baltimore’s Neil Nines. One of Charm City’s busiest DJs, Neil Nines also brings quality with each and every release (proving Nines is a force to be reckoned with as a producer as well), the latest example being “Start A Fire” which features Heath Allen, who is a veteran in his own right. The two come together to form an EDM collaboration known as “Allen X Hines.”

Look for a handful of tracks from the duo in the future, but “The Floor is Ours” (co-written with Nashville’s Sunnie Williams) is a considerably strong start as it packs an emotional punch. There’s a story associated with the track that takes listeners on a journey and from the harmonious breakdowns to a drop that feels like a spiritual experience, it’s a trek worth taking for the listener. This high-level musicianship is what we’ve come to expect from Neil Nines as he’s been delivering heat throughout 2022.

While Nines has generated some buzz as of late on the solo side (an exclamation point being his signing with independent record label Swaggertown Records), the duo of Allen X Nines is beginning to do so as well, having rocked in unison in Baltimore’s Mosaic Nightclub & Lounge.

They’ve cited anyone from Tiesto to Cosmic Gate as inspiration and say their music blends “cinematic orchestration with anthemic EDM vocals and instrumentation.” We cosign this entirely and are very much hype for more! Don’t forget to follow Neil Nines on IG and follow Heath Allen on the Gram as well. Stay all the way tuned because more dope music is on the way!

King Adonis I: The Celebrity Millionaire Behind the Religion for ‘Women with Curves’

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

King Adonis I is setting the record straight about himself and the Adonitology religion he created for curvy women. The esteemed founder, Supreme Deity of the Adonitology religion, and one of the stars of the short documentary “5 Celebrity Gods Worshiped Among Men”, shared fake memes and fake articles that say Adonitology is a religion that “worships women’s posteriors,” but clarified in a recent press statement that’s simply false and misleading information to the public. 

It’s been almost ten years since the Adonitology religion first went viral from a fake meme about a real religion that empowers and uplifts ‘women with curves.’

The fake definition on google for Adonitology has caused a minor infraction to the church’s reputation causing public confusion about one of the world’s most popular religions of modern times and now King Adonis I, the religion’s founder and royal leader is speaking out, and setting the record straight.  

King Adonis I, said in a recent press statement, “Adonitology is a beautiful religion that empowers and advocates for callipygian (shapely bottom) women with the curvy body types of Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Megan the Stallion, Cardi B, and women who’ve had BBLs.”  He continued, “The memes about Adonitology being a religion that worships women’s behinds are ridiculous, false, and fake news.

The public has been misled by internet trolls. Adonitology has never been nor will it ever be a religion about that. The church empowers these women through body positivity sermons using spiritual teachings that enrich the mind and soul of an individual. We teach and enlighten millennials and GenZ about world history, female sensuality, technology, futurism, and science. That is Adonitology.”    

King Adonis I wrote the Bible of Adonitology; The Book of Adonitology: The Sacred Pentadon of the Adonitology Religion, (available on Amazon.com for $29.99 paperback and $45.94 hardcover) for shapely women. King Adonis I said, “Adonitology is designed for women of today and future generations. The sacred scriptures uphold the belief that worshiping women’s body parts is sacrilege. “You cannot glorify God that way, King Adonis said. The practice of worshiping human body parts is forbidden. 

The founder of Adonitology has taken issue with social media giants Meta (formerly Facebook) and Twitter for allowing their users to continue to post fake definitions about Adonitology and not have the posts taken down, their accounts deleted, or banned for making inaccurate posts about the religion despite requests from the church.  

King Adonis I has also blamed Google as the biggest problem to the credibility of the Adonitology brand as internet users who use the search engine’s platform constantly tell people to “google” the false definition of Adonitology rather than encourage them to visit the church’s website and listen to sermons by King Adonis I and church leaders or read The Book of Adonitology which upholds the true nature of the Adonitology faith. 

King Adonis I made the following statement, “We have been fighting this problem for years asking Google and websites to remove the fake definitions from their websites which have turned into articles and monetized content for bloggers, YouTubers, and podcasters as that definition is the first reference that comes up when people Google us. There are internet users posting fake definitions of Adonitology on their Facebook pages and Twitter feed and then telling users to “google” Adonitology. 

People trust Google and when they come across a fake Adonitology definition on Google that didn’t come from the church, people think it’s real and that Google is accurate. They think that’s who we are and represent. That’s a big problem because Google’s and other websites’ definition of Adonitology is wrong. I should know. I invented the word Adonitology and gave it its meaning.”  

The church has even contacted users on Facebook and Twitter directly requesting them to remove all Adonitology falsified definitions and many have complied. 

King Adonis I said, “Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, and other websites must all be held accountable and remove all traces of any false definitions and fake memes pertaining to the Adonitology brand name from their search engines and websites that the church has not commissioned. We are considering taking legal action against those responsible.” He added, “It’s time for me to speak out and set the record straight.”

Adonitology has grown immensely in terms of global popularity. Adonitology has accumulated over 142.1 million views on the TikTok platform alone from TikTok creators. 

Things have been fruitful for King Adonis I as the viral memes and media attention have catapulted him into international stardom across five continents making the Adonitology religion one of the most popular religions of the 21st century. 

Podcaster Hiipothesis featured King Adonis I and TV personality Nick Cannon in an episode, as did Podcasters 2 Jack Bros who covered the Will and Jada Pinkett Smith entanglement drama and the Adonitology religion in one of their episodes. And the MVP podcast reported on the Joe Biden’s U.S. presidential election win and King Adonis I in one of their episodes. The Adonitology religion has been covered in more than 5,000 languages across 5 continents with India, South and Central America, and Africa being some of its biggest international markets. 

King Adonis I is quickly becoming a household name in the United States. King Adonis was recently featured on Europe’s mediianews.com where he’s just as popular a news story as Taylor Swift, Henry Cavill, and former President Donald Trump to name a few. 

In 2017, King Adonis I shared a featured article in Maxim Magazine India with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

A plethora of Adonitology documentaries created by independent filmmakers and Youtubers curious about King Adonis I and the Adonitology religion constantly flood the YouTube and Spotify platforms.

But who is King Adonis I the religious founder and supreme deity of The Church of Adonitology International?

King Adonis I, was born May 17th, 1971 in Chicago, Il. He is the owner of Dream City Universal, Inc. a multimedia company, a businessman, a global music artist, an author and a celebrity personality. He is also believed to be God incarnate by Adonitologists and according to some sources one of the wealthiest monarchs in the world with an estimated net worth of $628M. 

The 51-year-old leader shared how major world religions have failed to spiritually connect, cater to or support shapely women. “Most world religions like Christianity cater to common women of average built and heavyset women,” King Adonis said. 

King Adonis I continued, “The callipygian women you see on social media are byproducts of their family’s religious upbringing and social conditioning, capitalism, consumerism, and media commercialism like buying toys and gifts for Christmas. 

This spiritual vacuum has played a role in my destiny to empower them with spiritual knowledge and acceptance of self-love. Let’s be honest, “Europeans don’t like women with pronounced behinds like African, Latin, Indian, and certain Asian groups of women. They like skinny women. Women who are and look European. 

I was not excited about mainstream religions’ attitude towards shapely bottom women during the time I created Adonitology and wrote The Book of Adonitology. No religion in the world caters to and resonates with callipygian women. What’s the point of my statement to the media? To shift the false narratives.”

In his new book Blessed Are Callipygian Women available on Amazon.com for $9.99 in English, Spanish and audio, King Adonis I gives callipygian women spiritual guidance and life purpose and takes the Adonitology religion even further calling for a global population increase of 1 billion callipygian women. The population increase will include callipygian women with natural curves and women who have undergone safe BBL cosmetic procedures.  

The church is expected to plant 1,000 church buildings and temples around the world by 2032 to accommodate the growing global demand from its huge number of followers. 

King Adonis I concluded, “Along with flying cars, a one world currency, human population control, climate change, and technology that will usher in human immortality, Adonitology is the present and future religion for callipygian women. The Church of Adonitology will once again become the religion it once was before Christianity dominated the world. Adonitology enriches and changes the lives and minds of modern daywomen towards a better future for today and tomorrow.”

Black Detroit Entrepreneur Creates Business Bringing Music Artists and Prison Inmates Together.

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

Virgil Hare, the founder, and creator of INDULTA, created a new and unique way to allow inmates across the nation to experience social media. 

Prisoners across the nation have no access to society’s most utilized social media platforms. They’re unable to see what the latest social trends are. Or the newest fashion fad pic causing millions of clicks, views, and likes on the net. Most of the time, inmates are not hip to what songs are hot and are topping the charts. 

INDULTA Magazine of New Thought isn’t your typical, everyday magazine, and it is evident that it sits apart from the other magazines made available to the nation’s prison population. Its sleek, elegant, well-thought-out design indeed sits in a category all by itself. Along with its inspirational quotes and words of affirmation that prisoners look forward to reading in every issue, it features page after page of the latest fashion, great cars, beautiful homes, and today’s celebrities with a solid social media presence.

INDULTA magazine also provides opportunities for music artists, producers, and so many more from the music industry to introduce their musical creations, whether a song, an album, and/or a beat, into a barely-tapped prison market. 

For prisoners, music is essential. A must-have. A non-negotiable. Music allows prisoners to feel outside of the everyday hustle and bustle of prison life. It gives them a chance to explore their musical artistry and get some peace of mind which is extremely hard to do while incarcerated. Most prisoners across the nation don’t have access to a radio, and those that do have difficulty getting a good reception. So instead of relying on the local radio station for music filled with static and white noise, prisoners turn to the Jpay system for their musical fix.

Jpay is a way for prison inmates to search and download music to their tablets. These songs and albums are uploaded to the Jpay system through music distributors. The price of songs averages about $2.00, and most albums run about $15.00. For most inmates, that could be a lot of money, so they are usually thoughtful about the music they purchase and download to their tablets.

INDULATA magazine allows music artists to showcase(market) their music to those thoughtful inmates. Knowing more about the song or artist makes it more likely that the inmate will purchase that song or album because they possibly find a connection to it because of the backstory featured in INDULTA magazine.

Up-and-coming music artists, chart-topping, record-breaking singers, and rappers can benefit from marketing their music to the prison population.

Currently, INDULTA magazine has thousands and thousands of subscribers and growing across the nation in state correctional departments and federal prisons and plans to continue to grow.

Virgil’s goal is to provide a new way of thinking to the prisoners in our nation. He strives to give them nothing but positivity and motivation resulting in them having a new outlook on life.

EXCLUSIVE: YNW Melly’s Mom Questioned Over Witness Tampering; Claims Detective Stole Her Phone & Hurt Her Fingers

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

The mother of incarcerated rapper YNW Melly, Jaime King, has been accused of witness tampering.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, King was subpoenaed by Assistant State Attorney Michelle Boutros last month to answer questions about the potential charge from Miramar Police detective Mark Moretti.

As part of the agreement, King was granted full use immunity from prosecution regarding the investigation of her son’s case.

A post shared by Just A Matter Of Slime 💚 (@ynwmelly)

But while at the Broward County State Attorney’s Office, King claims they surprised her with a search warrant. King says Moretti then “became aggressive” and demanded her cell phone.

King said she would need to inform her employer she’d be without a phone that day. As she attempted to do so, she alleges Moretti “thrust himself across the table,” pushing her attorney Robert H. Trachman aside and “forcibly” retrieving the phone.

During the process, King says Moretti bent her fingers back so far, she’s still in physical therapy for the subsequent injuries. King is asking the Broward County court to order the Miramar Police Department to return her property “immediately.”

A copy of the search warrant alleges King’s cell phone has been used as a means to commit a crime and constitutes as evidence relevant to proving a felony has been committed.

No specific details were provided.

YNW Melly has been behind bars since February 2019 for the double murder of Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr. On November 10, an appellate judge ruled prosecutors can still seek the death penalty if convicted.

Kanye West & Donald Trump Both Return To Twitter: Coincidence?

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Kanye West and Donald Trump have both been welcomed back to Twitter by new owner/CEO Elon Musk. Ye made his triumphant return on Sunday (November 20) with a simple tweet that read, “Testing, testing. Seeing if my Twitter is unblocked.”

Of course, loyal Ye fans flocked to his post and he quickly racked up over 300,000 likes. Evidently, some people were thrilled to see he’s resurfaced considering the challenging few weeks he’s endured. West has suffered numerous consequences over his antisemitic comments—from losing his billionaire status to being dropped from Adidas. Meanwhile, he remains defiant, giving multiple interviews about the controversy, although he did apologize for his inflammatory remarks about George Floyd.

https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1594386046149529600?s=20&t=vyY6zoixZW05zdr_8QYDIA

As for Kanye West’s close, personal friend Donald Trump, his account was reinstated on Saturday (November 19). Musk decided to run a poll on Twitter, asking people if they wanted him back. With over 50 percent in favor, Musk tweeted Trump would be allow to use the platform again.

“The people have spoken,” he tweeted. “Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Latin for “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”

Trump, who recently announced his intention to run in the 2024 presidential election, was banned from Twitter following the Capitol Insurrection on January 6, 2021. West also plans to run again, as evidenced by the “2024” hat he wore on Drink Champs. Conspiracy theorists believe West only made the antisemitic comments in an effort to win over a portion of Trump’s followers. Whatever the case, he and Trump’s presence on Twitter is about as polarizing as it gets.

EXCLUSIVE: Trial Over 50 Cent’s Penis Set For July 2023

By: Justin IveyCategory: Exclusives

50 Cent will battle a MedSpa owner in court unless the two can reach a settlement in the coming months.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, 50 Cent’s lawsuit against MedSpa owner Angela Kogan will head to trial in July. The 47-year-old rapper sued Kogan for allegedly implying he received penis enlargement surgery.

A Florida judge scheduled the trial for July 3, 2023. 50 Cent and Kogan must participate in mediation, which needs to be completed by March 23, 2023.

“The appearance of counsel and each party or representatives of each party with full authority to enter into a full and complete compromise and settlement is mandatory,” Judge Robert Scola informed 50 Cent and Kogan. “If insurance is involved, an adjuster with authority up to the policy limits or the most recent demand, whichever is lower, must attend. All proceedings of the mediation will be confidential and privileged.”

He added, “If mediation is not conducted, the case may be stricken from the trial calendar, and other sanctions may be imposed.”

50 Cent claimed he suffered public embarrassment from an implication he went to Kogan’s Perfection Plastic Surgery and MedSpa for penile enhancement. Kogan denied any wrongdoing, noting she never suggested the G-Unit boss underwent surgery.

Kogan criticized 50 Cent for pursuing legal action against her. She assumed his real gripe was with The Shade Room, which ran a story about penis enlargement.

The MedSpa owner was interviewed for the article, which featured a photo of her posing with 50 Cent. The Shade Room added an eggplant emoji to the picture for a social media post.

Kogan said 50 Cent received MedSpa services from her in exchange for the photo. The deal allowed her to share the image on social media.

50 Cent believed Kogan was to blame for any insinuation about him getting penis enlargement surgery. Kogan wanted the lawsuit dismissed.

“The entirety of [50 Cent’s] complaint crumbles under the truth of the matter,” her attorneys argued. “[His] embarrassment as the butt of social media jokes is one thing, but to weaponize such embarrassment for the purpose of seeking equitable and/or monetary damages from Defendants borders on abuse of process.”

Lil Durk Affiliate Lamron Quan & Milwaukee Rapper KD Fatally Shoot Each Other During Argument

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Lil Durk affiliate Lamron Quan and fellow aspiring rapper KD reportedly shot and killed each other during an argument over the weekend. The incident took place in Fargo, North Dakota around 3 a.m. local time on Saturday (November 19).

According to Valley News, Fargo Police responded to a call for shots fired in the 1000 block of 15th St. N. Police say when officers got to the area, they found two decedents, both with gunshot wounds. They were later identified as Kierre “KD” Davies and Jaquan “Lamron Quan” Gatewood.

“I talked to him last night, just a couple of hours before everything happened,” KD’s childhood friend Saanjai Lobley said. “I’m just trying to figure out and we’re trying to figure out what’s going on, what happened.”

Cousin Doneisa Wilson added, “I broke down and I got on my knees and I prayed and I kept praying that it wasn’t him and I kept calling his phone and he wasn’t answering and it broke my heart.”

Anyone with information is being asked to contact the Fargo Police Department. Police add this is an active criminal investigation and no further details will be released at this time.

Trey Songz Denies Repeatedly Punching Woman In NYC Bowling Alley Attack  

By: London JennnCategory: News

Trey Songz has found himself in legal hot water again after a woman accused him of committing a brutal attack in an NYC bowling alley bathroom last month. 

The unidentified woman claims the singer punched her repeatedly and pulled her hair during the attack. According to TMZ, NYPD sources say the alleged victim made the claims in a police report filed in late October. She also alleges she was taken to hospital where cops witnessed her visible minor injuries.  

Authorities have not confirmed a possible motive for the alleged attack or the circumstances surrounding it. However, the woman is reportedly an employee of the bowling alley who recognized Trey Songz. She later identified him by name to the police following the alleged attack.  

Police confirmed they opened an investigation into the alleged attack, while his attorney claimed Trey Song is the victim of another shakedown. 

Trey Songz has faced several accusations of sexual impropriety from multiple women. One sued him for rape, but the lawsuit was dismissed after the statute of limitations ran out. Former UNLV basketball player Dylan Gonzalez is among the women who publicly accused the Virginia native of sexual misconduct. The singer denies the accusations.

Mitchell Schuster, Trey’s legal rep, told TMZ that Trey Song is cooperating with the investigation and expects to be vindicated.  

“A source close to the investigation informs us that TS has been cooperative with authorities and expects that when all the evidence is reviewed, he will be exonerated.”  

He called the claims another attempt to “blame the celebrity with hopes of getting fame or riches.”

Lizzo Gives “Lizzo-Sized” TikTok Fan A Dress After Heartwarming Video Goes Viral

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Lizzo has sent a fan a gorgeous gown following a viral TikTok request.

Last month, writer Aurielle Marie posted a video to the platform begging the “Juice” hitmaker to let her borrow the red tulle Giambattista Valli gown she wore to the 2022 Emmy Awards in September.

Aurielle insisted she had nothing to wear to the Out magazine’s upcoming Out100 Gala and was considering staying home.

“I know you know how it feels to be the biggest b**ch in a room, and all of the scrutiny and hyper-visibility that comes along with that because I’ve watched you talk about it,” she said. “I know you a girl for the girls, and I’m a girl and a girl, and I just need to know. I gotta ask. Can I please, please, please wear your dress from the 2022 Emmys?”

The clip quickly went viral, racking up over 500,000 views.

Aurielle returned to TikTok to share that Lizzo had sent her a dress similar to the one she sported at the Emmys – a dark red Dauxilly gown with a layered tulle skirt that she chose for the 2019 American Music Awards.

“I might’ve gotten a few tears on your dress @lizzo, my bad babe!” the 28-year-old wrote in the caption. “Words don’t suffice, and thank you isn’t enough. But THANK YOU! I’m speechless. Y’all! A b**ch is certified LIZZO SIZED!!!!!! And LOOK AT THIS GOWN! @out Magazine here i come (sic)!”

Charleston White Returns Fire At T.I. Following “Step” Diss

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

T.I. appeared to take a jab at YouTuber Charleston White last week as part of his verse on Jucee Froot’s latest single, “Step.” White and the Hustle Gang boss engaged in a contentious e-battle in October, with the dogmatic online personality saying he was going to “Trayvon Martin” Tip’s 18-year-old son at one point. A heated war of words ensued, so T.I. took his grievances to wax.

“Boy, I will drop you from a place so far from grace,” he raps on the song. “White folks will doubt you/Hey what a day/My son respond to what a f### n***a say /I end up on the internet, going back and forth with a jay/You’s a neva was, suck-a-dick-to-get-a-dub n-gga.”

White clearly heard the verse and decided to fire back with a short “diss track” (if it even qualifies) aimed at the Atlanta rapper. Clocking in a just over a minute, the track is essentially a compilation of several audio clips of White’s old T.I. commentary set to a beat. As for the video, it’s a low budget affair and shows White just dancing in front of a green screen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn6Pu1KATv4

T.I. spoke to AllHipHop about the entire Charleston White saga as it was unfolding. He explained why he initially responded on his social media platforms with so much vitriol—and it really didn’t have much to do with White.

“I was just in a real dark place—and not at all because of the words of a buffoon,” he said. “Not because of that. It was the silence of the community that really hurt my feelings. For a couple reasons, one, I’m a grown man. I’m a big boy. Whatever somebody says about me, whatever happens to me is fair game. God has blessed me to be able to deal with anything that come my way.

“But it kinda just brought back all of the hurt that came with the first situation when social media was used to attack my family. Not just me. Not just T.I. But to attack my family, and it was weaponized against me for political interests.”

Shaun King and Deon Taylor were two people who ultimately did stand up for T.I. As King wrote in an Instagram post at the time: “ Some cowardly man called himself making public death threats against TI’s teenage son, King. He started targeting King and somebody else’s son for clout. I won’t even repeat the vile and violent words this shameful man put out there.”

Who Is Seleah Simone?

By: SimoneCategory: Uncategorized

Seleah Simone had always been industry adjacent. She always knew someone who knew someone- who would get her into A list events and parties. She obtained a bachelors in television and radio from Brooklyn College. Yet, despite networking and sending out resumes for over 4 years, she couldn’t land a job in the media. 

She was smart, charismatic and even over qualified. None of this would help her land the job of her dreams as a red carpet host. It wouldn’t be until her best friend made an introduction to one of the owners of Allhiphop.com in 2015 that things would change. 

Seleah knew this could be the chance she needed to finally get her foot in the door. Once on the phone with The contact, she immediately began to pitch him the idea of having a red carpet host represent the company at major events. “You guys are missing out on valuable content! This could take your company to the next level!” 

The owner was very much intrigued. He wanted to give her a shot. She knew the MTV music awards was coming up and was hoping to get on the carpet. The owner agreed to apply on her behalf. One month later- Seleah was on her first red carpet. 

From that experience, Seleah knew that she had to sharpen her skill of pitching. This would be the only way she would continue to land jobs in the industry. In fact- this is how she landed her gig as a producer at TMZ.

For journalists like Seleah – she suggests going to the direct source, pitching yourself and letting know why you would be a good asset to the company. See her pointers below:

  1. Have a linkedin account. LinkeIn will notify you throughout the application process. Once you submit an application, you will receive an email or alert telling you if the application was viewed, opened and or downloaded. This gives some relief during this already sometimes stressful process. 
  2. After submitting an application- try to find a contact for the hiring manager. If you have a premium linkedin account- you can send a message directly to them. You may also come across an email from a quick google search. Send a 3-4 sentence MAX message with your resume attached and links to your work. Let them know you just submitted an application via linkedin and that you’ve also sent links to your work. 
  3. BE ON YOUR A GAME. Make sure everything is aligned on your side. Your resume looks great, all your socials are professional looking with nothing that would prohibit you from getting the job.

Stem Player Parent Company Parts Ways With Kanye West

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Another company has severed times with producer-turned-rapper-turned-fashion designer Kanye West.

GAP, Adidas, Balenciaga, Vogue, his lawyers, friends, and so many more parted ways with the Def Jam artist, making his net worth drop from $6.6 billion in June to $500 million in a matter of months.

Now, one more partnership has said adios to the troubled Grammy Award-winner. Kano Computing, the company that helped the rapper develop the Stem Player debuted with the release of the artist’s “Donda” album. The Stem Player allowed listeners to customize songs— as well as listen to exclusive tracks.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Alex Klein, CEO, and co-founder of Kano, said the company decided to split because of the antisemitic language he has been spewing over the last two months.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, some of the antisemitic comments he made were on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s “Drink Champs.” The most damaging comments were from when he went to Twitter and said he was going to go “Death Con 3 on Jewish.”

After that, both Twitter and Instagram locked him out of his accounts. Klein, who is half Jewish, said. “[West] tried to call me racist when I gently told him that attacking a whole race of people wasn’t good for him or Stem.”

“I asked Kanye not to take the path he’s on. We’ve told him that we’re unable to work together while he’s putting out racial conspiracy theories. There’s no deal in place.”

The rapper wanted to purchase Kano but was declined because Ye wanted to exclude certain musical artists.

Klein said, “Unfortunately, Kanye didn’t want to allow other musical artists onto the platform. This was a disagreement that we had trouble resolving.”

It just keeps getting worse, and his money is getting funny. Earlier this week, it was reported that Kanye had to stop working on his $57 million home because he had to figure out his finances.

Tina Davis said, “Always a great entertainer, especially at the award shows and tour dates. This has got to stop! Let this black man live!!! It’s their loss, CB! You always outshine every performer on these award shows… It would have truly been the one of the ONLY reasons for many of us to watch the AMAs!!! THEY MISSED AN EPIC MOMENT! 🙏🏾🔥🚀”

EXCLUSIVE: Westside Gunn Reveals Unknown Fact About Buffalo Man From “10” Album Cover

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Anyone familiar with Griselda is likely aware of Eastside Flip, a lovable Buffalo amputee who may or may not have a healthy appetite for crack (hey, no judgement). Flip recently appeared on the cover of Westside Gunn’s final installment of the Hitler Wears Hermes series, 10. Decked out in an orange Buffalo State sweatshirt and expensive jewelry with a lighter in hand, he’s posted up at a local convenience store looking like he’s ready to fight someone. And that could very well be the case.

Speaking to AllHipHop, Westside Gunn laughed as he recalled taking Eastside Flip to Miami for Art Basal last year and the ensuing chaos that unfolded as a result.

“That’s Eastside Flip,” he explained of the album cover. “He’s been on a lot of my projects as skits. He’s my guy. He’s just the neighborhood fiend, a bit of a crackhead, but he’s a cool dude. I took him down to Miami Art Basal last year. He got arrested and everything. He hit a cop. He’s crazy. I’m actually going to see him today. He’s crazy as f### though. We shooting a video today and he’s just a loose cannon. Everybody in my whole city knows Flip.”

When asked if Flip knew about the album cover, Gunn replied, “Of course. He love it! Flip is crazy. I’m gonna be with him in a couple hours. He gonna be in the video.”

Westside Gunn was back in Buffalo getting ready to shoot a video for “Super Kick Party,” which will evidently feature an appearance from the inimitable Flip. It follows the double dose of “Mac Don’t Stop” and “Nigos Louis,” which both arrived November 16. The Griselda powerhouse is staying busy, of course, and has another project in the works called Michelle, named after his late Aunt Chelle who passed away in November 2021.

“I’m working on Michelle and the Stove Gods Cook Project, plus me and Boldy [James] about to cook up something up,” he said. “I like to curate things. I’m ready to curate a new Boldy album. I’m ready to curate a new Jay Worthy album for the West Coast. The West Coast has always been a heavy influence as well—N.W.A, Too $hort, all of that. We came from that era. I feel Jay Worthy is one of those guys who can have that run. Us getting together, is gonna be crazy. I wanna do that for the culture. Of course, me, Benny and Conway are coming. We’re coming in 2023. That’s for sure.”

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Big Sean got a new name … Fans can now call him Big Poppa (sorry, Christopher, someone needs to hold your nickname)!

R&B singer Jhené Aiko and rapper Big Sean have given birth to their first child and took to social media.

She dropped the news on Instagram, ten days after the little boy was born. The caption was simple but said, “✨11/08/22✨💙Noah Hasani💙 after 24 hours of labor, a total lunar eclipse, and while it was pouring rain… he came 🥹 my baby Yoda, my Sani 💙.”

The songbird posted a picture of her in the hospital gown strapped up with her mask. Though she said the labor took an entire day, she did not look weary, but glowing as many new moms do.

In one of the pictures, the Detroit native was sitting right next to her, beaming with pride.

Sean also posted on social media. The new father wrote, “After 24 hours of Labor, A Lunar Eclipse, with rain from the beginning of labor til he was born, he’s here safe and sound. Happy, Healthy and everything we could ever ask for and more. Any and everything for you Son. 💙Noah💙 11/8/22.”

EXCLUSIVE: Rapper Peezy Sued After Firing His “Dumb Ass Manager”

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

Peezy’s ex-manager, Chelsea Donini, is suing the rapper in U.S. District Court.

According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, Donini—former director of marketing and product manager at EMPIRE—”seeks redress for Defendant Peezy’s multiple contractual breaches, tortious interference, defamation, and emotional distress.”

Her attorneys, Robert Meloni and Thomas P. McCaffrey, claim she’s “fighting for her professional life” after Peezy allegedly “began his campaign to destroy it in order to avoid his contractual commitments.”

Donini, a Rutgers University graduate, says the trouble began after the Team Eastside member and alleged 6 Mile Chedda Grove gang affiliate was sentenced to 18 months in prison on federal charges of racketeering and conspiracy.

During that time, Donini provided valuable advice as she worked to keep his rap career alive. Shortly before he was released from prison in February 2021, Donini says they entered into a professional agreement but around June 2022, he “inexplicably and without any basis or warning” breached their management agreement.

Simultaneously, she claims Peezy went on a “vindictive scorched earth campaign” to destroy her reputation at EMPIRE, including calling her a “dumb ass manager” on Instagram.

Furthermore, Donini alleges he also encouraged his fans and others to “further spread the lies and
contacted Plaintiff’s other artists under her management in an attempt to destroy Plaintiff’s
business relationships with them,” while attempting to ruin her EMPIRE relationships.

As part of Peezy’s “trash talking” campaign, he rapped about Donini allegedly stealing money from his “marketing budget” in the video for “Nipsey Blue,” rapping, “Brought you in my personal space around my kids what you do take advantage of me while I’m in the can.”

Donini is seeking damages of at least $81 million.

Blueface’s Lawyer Says He’s Been ‘Overcharged’ In Recent Case

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Lawyers say that authorities were too harsh when they charge rapper Blueface with attempted murder.

According to the Review-Journal, the “Thotiana” chart-topper’s legal team argues their client has been overcharged.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, on Tuesday, Nov. 15, Blueface, whose legal name is Johnathan Porter, was arrested and charged with attempted murder and firing a gun at an occupied vehicle during an Oct. 8 incident outside of the Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club at 6370 Windy Lane in Las Vegas, NV.

But as more information is being revealed the lawyers are attempting to make the case that authorities are blowing his charges out of proportion.

Lawyer Lisa Rasmussen, who is representing the rapper along with attorneys Kristina Wildeveld and Caitlyn McAmis, said,

“From first glance, it appears that the charges are overcharged.”

The attorney also declined to elaborate on why she believes the Cash Money West artist is being overcharged and what the charges she objects to are. Lastly, she instructed her client to not talk to the press about the case.

There is an alleged video of the shooting circulating. The lawyer has declined to give her opinions on it, saying she has not received a copy of the footage in discovery.

However, she does believe the evidence, once it comes out, will show her client’s charges have been inflated.

“The other thing I’d like to say is that we’re really looking forward to litigating this matter in court on behalf of our client and we think that when all of the evidence comes out in court, it will be apparent that the way he’s charged is not necessarily consistent with what appears to have actually happened,” Rasmussen remarked.

Blueface is currently out on bail, AllHipHop.com reports, and will return to court next year on Jan. 24.
