Eric Adams Declares Himself NYC’s “First Hip Hop Mayor”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has had a love-hate relationship with Hip Hop since stepping into the position.

At one point, Eric Adams called for social media platforms to ban Drill Music videos. The former law enforcement officer tried to connect the rising underground genre to the street violence in his city.

“We pulled [former President Donald Trump] off Twitter because of what he was spewing, yet we are allowing music, displaying of guns, violence, we are allowing it to stay on the site because look at the victims,” stated Eric Adams in February.

Mayor Adams is now claiming to take up the mantle for Hip Hop in the culture’s Mecca. While announcing a $5.5 million investment for South Bronx’s Universal Hip Hop Museum, the 61-year-old politician made a bold declaration.

“First time in New York City history, we have a Hip Hop mayor,” said Eric Adams at a press conference. Def Jam Recordings co-founder Russell Simmons stood beside Adams for his speech. NYC Department of Cultural Affairs Commissioner Laurie Cumbo was on hand as well.

NYC Rappers Like French Montana Embrace Eric Adams

Throughout the year, Eric Adams made inroads with some members of the Hip Hop community in New York. For example, Bronx-bred rap star French Montana praised the Democratic political leader this summer.

“In order for us to make a change, we have to embrace people like [Eric Adams] and people in the higher positions that can help see the vision and help these kids because we don’t have no help out here,” said French Montana.

Eric Adams reportedly contributed $2 million in new capital funding for the Universal Hip Hop Museum. The facility – located at the Bronx Point development at Mill Pond Park – will feature gallery spaces, a black box theater, interactive exhibits, and administrative offices. 

“The Universal Hip Hop Museum is the official museum of Hip Hop culture,” stated UHHM Executive Director Rocky Bucano. “Founded by Hip Hop pioneers, we’re proud to be the recipients of the continuous financial support of Commissioner Laurie Cumbo, the City Council, New York state, and others to showcase, preserve, present, and protect Hip Hop Culture for generations to come.”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Blueface has been social media fodder for several days. News outlets from around the world covered the West Coast rapper’s troubling relationship with Chrisean Rock.

It appears Blueface has more troubles ahead. According to Radar Online, an alleged assault victim filed a lawsuit against the rapper born Johnathan Jamall Porter.

According to the gossip website, Ray Anthony Gonzalez sued the Find the Beat album creator for assault, battery, gender violence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The pending legal case stems from a 2019 incident at the Blue Moon Hooka Lounge in Los Angeles. Gonzalez accuses Blueface of calling him a “f*ggot” and then swinging at him with a closed fist.

Additionally, the plaintiff says Blueface, his associates, and Blue Moon’s security began punching and kicking him. Legal documents allege that Blue’s bodyguards struck Gonzalez in the head with a bottle.

The suit also claimed Blueface is responsible for Gonzalez’s female cousin being assaulted that day. Both alleged victims filed reports with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Last September, Blueface made headlines for a violent encounter at another California establishment. Local law enforcement investigated the incident involving a bouncer at the Skinny’s Lounge in San Fernando Valley allegedly being attacked by the “Thotiana” rapper and his crew.

Cops Launch Criminal Investigation Into DJ Tim Westwood Amid Further Sexual Assault Allegations 

By: London JennnCategory: News

The case against DJ Tim Westwood has taken another turn as the Metropolitan Police launched a criminal investigation into the sexual assault allegations made against him. 

According to a report from the Guardian, one of the allegations dates back 40 years. The outlet reports the Met’s central specialist crime unit is investigating four reports of historical offenses allegedly committed in London. The incidents allegedly occurred in 1982, 1985, 2010, and 2016.  

The Met statement did not name Tim Westwood but reported on Thursday (Aug. 4): “Detectives from the Met’s Central Specialist Crime continue to investigate four reports relating to allegations of non-recent sexual offences allegedly committed by a man. The offenses are alleged to have occurred in London in 1982, 1985, 2010 and 2016. There have been no arrests, inquiries continue.” 

The allegations against Tim Westwood came to light recently following a joint investigation by the Guardian and BBC News. The DJ stepped down from his show on Capital Xtra after several Black women made allegations of sexual misconduct and predatory behavior against him.  

While Tim Westwood denied all of the claims against him, another ten Black women accused him of sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, and inappropriate behavior in July. One of these women claimed she was just 14 years old when the DJ first had sex with her. The incident is alleged to have occurred in the early 1990s when Tim Westwood was in his thirties.  

The BBC Launch Internal Review Into Tim Westwood

Meanwhile, a BBC internal review found that the corporation ‘may have missed chances to explore concerns’ about Tim Westwood’s conduct. The DJ worked at BBC Radio 1 from 1994 to 2013. 

Though the BBC director general, Tim Davie, initially said there was “no evidence of complaints” against the DJ, the review found otherwise. According to the Guardian, the BBC received several reports against him in 20212. These include two allegations of inappropriate behavior and sexual misconduct. An accusation was also made that Tim Westwood “created a toxic atmosphere amongst those he worked with at the BBC.”

Doja Cat Shaves Eyebrows On IG Live After Debuting Bald Head 

By: London JennnCategory: News

While Doja Cat often hops on Instagram Live to chop it up with her fans, debut new music, or share her latest hobbies, her latest stream involved her creating a new look in real-time. 

On Thursday evening (Aug. 4), the Planet Her hitmaker debuted a newly shaved head in a new image. Then, Doja Cat took to IG Live to complete her look with an update to her brows.  

Doja sat facing the camera as she removed each brow using shaving foam and a razor. When concerned fans in the live chat wondered if the star was okay, Doja reassured them she was doing just fine.  

With a Southern lilt, she addressed “all the Terry-Jo’s and the country girls,” in the live comments. “All the country girls in my chat are like ‘are you okay, sis? Um, are you okay? Sis…are you okay baby?’” She replied to herself, ”I’m fine Carrie-Jo. I’m just fine, I’m doing dandy.”

Doja Cat Explains Her New Bald Look

Meanwhile, Doja Cat explained she shaved her head bald because she never liked her hair and found the upkeep difficult.  

“I feel like I was never supposed to have hair anyway,” she began before adding, “I never liked having hair. I cannot tell you one time since the beginning of my life where I was like ‘this is cool’” 

She also recalled how difficult it is to work out in wigs that start “sliding and peeling off my head” in the middle of training. “I couldn’t focus because I was more concerned with how I looked and how my hair was doing and how to keep it adhered to my scalp,” she admitted.  

However, Doja Cat is pleased with the outcome. “I just can’t believe it took me this long to be like ‘shave your f###### head.’ I don’t wear my hair out, I had like two eras where my hair would be out. It’s just a f###### nightmare dude, I’m over it. What is the use of having hair if you’re not gonna wear it out?” she concluded. Check out her explanation below.  

Mystikal’s Lawyer Thinks There’s “Zero Chance” Rape Case Goes To Trial

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Mystikal’s lawyer believes his client will be cleared of rape charges for a second time.

Attorney Joel Pearce spoke to the Associated Press about the latest accusations against Mystikal, who remains in jail following his arrest on Sunday (July 31).

“I think there’s zero chance this goes to trial,” Pearce told the AP.

Pearce is representing Mystikal again after defending the 51-year-old rapper in a separate rape case, which was dismissed in 2020. Pearce’s client is now accused of raping and choking a woman on Saturday (July 30).

Attorney Roy Maughan Jr. represented Mystikal, whose real name is Michael Tyler, at a hearing on Tuesday (August 2). Maughan requested a $250,000 bond, but a judge denied it.

Maughan is no longer working on the case. He suggested Mystikal wouldn’t appeal Tuesday’s bond ruling, but Pearce plans to request a full bond hearing where evidence can be presented.

“There was no evidence given on my client’s part,” Pearce said.

Mystikal was charged with first-degree rape, simple robbery, domestic abuse battery (strangulation), false imprisonment and simple criminal damage to property. It’s the third time he’s been publicly accused of sexual assault.

The former No Limit Records artist served six years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual battery in 2003. Mystikal also faced rape and kidnapping charges in 2017. He spent 18 months in jail before a grand jury dismissed the case.

Krayzie Bone To Build Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Music & Arts Academy In Ohio

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Krayzie Bone wants to give back to his home state of Ohio.

The Bone Thugs-n-Harmony member intends to do so by building a music and artist academy in his old neighborhood in Cleveland. Krayzie Bone detailed his plans during an appearance on The Outlaws Radio Show.

“I pretty much had this vision for a while now,” he said. “Ever since [Bone Thugs] came out … I left the city for a while, and I started to come back and see the condition of the city and see how it was a lot of boarded up houses and condemned houses. So, I was like, I definitely want to come back and do something and give something back to the community.”

He continued, “And then also I found out that my old elementary school, Charles H. Lake, was also torn down. That’s when I came up with the idea to go after that property and to try to build a Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Music and Arts Academy and Ohio Hip Hop Museum. Just to give something back to the people and to give motivation to aspiring artists from Ohio to give them the hope that they don’t have to travel outside of Ohio just to make it.”

Krayzie Bone aims to bring more attention to Ohio’s music scene. He hopes to make Cleveland a hub for artists of all genres.

“I also plan on putting my record label here as well, The Life Entertainment,” he said. “Also plan on directing a lot of traffic down here as far as A&Rs and record execs down this way. Because there’s a lot of talent in Ohio – not just Cleveland – the entire state. I want to draw more focus and make Cleveland one of those prospering music cities because, like I said, it’s a lot of talent here on all sides, in all genres. That talent needs to be showcased. So, that’s one of my main things with music. And there are a lot of other things that we’re going to be doing aside from music. A lot of different programs.”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Music News

A palpable excitement has swept across Sidney Breedlove’s fandom following the release of his new single “Take It Low.” The long-awaited track has been everything listeners have looked forward to from the artist. “Take It Low” hits home with its energetic beats, nuanced narratives, and entrancing production values. His brand of music is a distinct blend of grooves, brilliant wordplay, and a combination of various subjects that touch listeners from all walks of life.

Hailing from Columbus, Georgia but born in Akron, Ohio, Sidney Breedlove is a revolutionary artist that believes in showcasing his authenticity through his music. The drop of his new single accentuates his unique, unconventional approach to music. He has built his career and reputation on being very different from other players in the industry. Rather than chase trends, Sidney Breedlove is creating trends and waves of his own.

The multi-talented Sidney Breedlove shares that remaining true to himself has helped create authentic Rap music that resonates with fans and gets him recognition from key industry players.

Music has been a path that has called on Sidney Breedlove since he was 17. When he first began, he was in a group with two friends but later realized that he needed to walk his path to get where he wanted to be.

“This was God because I don’t know where the insight came from, but I made a conscious decision to myself that: One, I was gonna talk about stuff that actually applies to me, and second, ‘I love these boys, I would die for these boys.’ But I have to separate myself to get to places I envision myself being.”

His solo career has taken off with a renewed sense of direction and continued support from family, friends, collaborators, mentors, and fans. In this new single, Sidney is proud to look back on some of the highs and lows he has experienced in the last couple of years and see how much he has grown. Every pivotal moment that has altered his life has defined the musician he is today, the incredible artist that fans are excited to engage with, and he is just getting started.

Boosie Badazz Goes On Tirade After Brittney Griner Receives 9-Year Prison Sentence In Russia

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Boosie Badazz ranted on Instagram after a judge sentenced WNBA star Brittney Griner to nine years in a Russian prison on Thursday (August 4).

Griner was arrested for allegedly bringing illegal drugs into Russia in February. Russian authorities accused her of having vape cartridges containing hashish oil. She pleaded guilty in July.

Boosie demanded action from the U.S. government, calling for officials to do anything necessary to bring Griner back to America. He insisted there would be more urgency to help Taylor Swift if she was in the same situation.

“How the hell this girl get nine years for a weed pen?” Boosie said. “And the USA ain’t doing nothing about it. You tell me that! If that was Taylor Swift, it’d be a peace treaty right now. They’d be drafting to go to war. For a weed pen! Nine years!”

Boosie then turned his attention to Vice President Kamala Harris.

“What that show for Black women in the United States?” he asked. “And the Vice President, as a Black woman, you ‘posed to be on the frontline! You ‘posed to be on the frontline to get that Black woman out of jail! Nine damn years. Y’all f##### up in this world.”

Last month, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. government offered a prisoner exchange to Russia in hopes of securing Griner’s release. President Joe Biden issued a statement about Griner’s sentencing on Thursday.

“Today, American citizen Brittney Griner received a prison sentence that is one more reminder of what the world already knew: Russia is wrongfully detaining Brittney,” Biden said. “It’s unacceptable, and I call on Russia to release her immediately so she can be with her wife, loved ones, friends, and teammates.”

Griner has 10 days to appeal her sentence, according to Russian law. Her lawyers expect another hearing to take place next week.

Snoop Dogg Launching Death Row Films With New Comedy

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Snoop Dogg is set to star in upcoming youth football comedy movie “The Underdoggs,” based on an idea he came up with.

The “Gin and Juice” rapper has embarked on a new project with production and film distribution company MGM, Deadline reports.

In a statement, Snoop called the movie “a real personal project for me,” referencing the 15 years he has spent coaching football with the Snoop Youth Football League.

Since founding the league with Constance, Snoop said it has “taught us so many invaluable life lessons that we’ve been able to share with kids in similar situations like mine when I was growing up.”

“My hope is that this movie will shed light on the realities that kids and adults face in the hood and within the complex world of football,” he added.

Charles Stone is set to direct the film, with a screenplay by Danny Segal and Isaac Schamis.

Kim Kardashian Brags That Her Bones Are Stronger Than Almost Everyone On Earth

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Kim Kardashian has undergone a “painful” treatment to “tighten” her stomach area.

The reality TV star took to her Instagram Stories to share a photo of her getting the Morpheus8 laser treatment during a visit to Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr Ashkan Ghavami’s office.

“This is a game changer!!! I did morpheous (sic) laser to tighten my stomach @drghavami’s spa @gpsaesthetics,” she captioned the photo in which the area around her belly button appeared very red. “I think this is my fave laser but it’s painful lol but worth it!”

Later, Kim also detailed her experiences of getting a body scan with BodySpec to measure her body fat and bone density.

Following the results, she shared that her bones are stronger than 93-97 percent of people and that she did not lose any muscle mass in the last year.

“A year ago, my body fat percentage was 25 per cent, now it’s 18.8 per cent.. (that’s) athlete category,” the 41-year-old continued.

Kim hit headlines in May when she revealed she had lost 16 pounds in three weeks so she could fit into an iconic dress once worn by Marilyn Monroe to the 2022 Met Gala.

A Smiling Lil Tjay Is Reportedly Out Of The Hospital After Being Shot

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

Lil Tjay is reportedly out of the hospital and doing much better. As you may remember, he was shot several times in June and it did not look like he was going to live. Lil Tjay was not willing to comply to the robbers, and the result was him getting shot in numerous places including some vital organs. There was a lot of conversation around him dying, because he was shot so many times.All this happened in July when he was hanging out in Edgewater, New Jersey. The cops say they attempted to rob the rapper and his friends, but the result was simply a shooting.

A 27-year-old man was arrested and jailed for the shooting. Oddly enough, he’s in Rikers Island, not a NJ jail. So now, Mohamed Konate is charged with three counts of first-degree attempted murder, and his to alleged co-defendants are hit with second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon charges. I am surprised they are not hit with the murder charge too.

This is all great! I hope that people understand how real it is out here and we don’t see a repeat of this sort of crazy stuff. He had a breathing tube and it almost didn’t seem like he was going to be able to talk. That’s sort of what happens when you get shot in the chest in the neck area.

It’s also fortunate that he was not paralyzed, as rumored previously.

Warner Bros Shelves “Batgirl” Movie After Spending $90 Million On Production

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Pop News

Warner Bros. executives have scrapped their upcoming “Batgirl” movie despite reportedly spending $90 million on filming.

It was announced last year that In the “Heights” star Leslie Grace would be playing Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl, in the superhero movie, which was scheduled to debut on HBO Max later this year.

However, in a surprising twist, it was confirmed on Tuesday night that Warner Bros. had shelved the movie and would not be releasing it on any platform.

“The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership’s strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max,” said a Warner Bros. spokesperson in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “Leslie Grace is an incredibly talented actor and this decision is not a reflection of her performance. We are incredibly grateful to the filmmakers of Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt and their respective casts and we hope to collaborate with everyone again in the near future.”

According to the publication, the unusual decision to shelve a movie that’s in post-production is a result of a change of leadership at the studio.

The new Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is focusing on cost-cutting measures and theatrical, while former WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar prioritized developing projects for the HBO Max service.

Studio executives originally set a production budget of $75-80 million for “Batgirl,” but this reportedly escalated to $90 million due to Covid-19 protocols during filming, which wrapped earlier this year.

“Batgirl” was directed by “Bad Boys for Life” filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah and also starred J.K. Simmons as the superhero’s father Commissioner James Gordon, Brendan Fraser as the villain Firefly, and Michael Keaton reprising his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

In addition to “Batgirl,” Warner Bros. officials have also decided to scrap “Scoob!: Holiday Haunt,” the follow-up to their 2020 animation “Scoob!”

Doja Cat has claimed she can no longer send replies on Twitter after she went on a rant about some of the messages she receives.

The “Kiss Me More” star – real name Amala Dlamini – posted a screenshot showing three tweets in her draft folder that “failed to send” and alleged she was unable to respond to followers.

“Twitter isn’t letting me reply to anything now,” she captioned the post.

One of the tweets read, “find a new hobby you f###### ghoul,” while another stated, “you’re obsessed with me you f##### dog, find another hobby.”

Earlier, Doja revealed she had decided to block some Twitter users.

“I’m starting to block people. I seldom do. Very excited for the future of this,” the 26-year-old wrote, adding: “People r so f##### dumb istg (I swear to God) it’s terrifying.”

One follower called Doja out for not sharing “anything positive” on her account.

“Shut the f### up nerd nobody gives a f###,” she replied.

Representatives for Twitter have not yet responded to Doja’s claim that she has been blocked from replying to other users.
