Wendy Williams Announces Her Marriage To NYPD Officer 

By: London JennnCategory: News

It appears congratulations are in order for Wendy Williams, who reportedly just announced that she got married. 

The talk show host shared her good news with Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee on Tuesday afternoon (Aug. 2). Though she kept the details scant, presumably saving them for her upcoming new podcast, Wendy revealed a few titbits.  

Wendy’s new husband is an officer of the law, NYPD to be precise, and his name is Henry. However, she did not say how they met and when their nuptials took place.  

Wendy Williams also shared that she is still struggling with financial issues. She explained that her Amex no longer works, but her friends have helped her maintain access to one of her accounts. 

While she is making an effort to remain upbeat and stay positive, she is experiencing issues with her family. According to Jason Lee, Wendy said she instructed her team to keep her entire family away from her. The only family member Wendy Williams wants contact with is her 21-year-old son, Kevin Hunter Jr. 

Wendy Williams and her long-time husband and show producer Kevin Hunter finalized their divorce in 2020. The couple separated the year before after Hunter’s mistress, Sharina Hudson, gave birth to a daughter. 

The media personality has been out of work since “The Wendy Williams Show” officially ended on June 17, after running for 13 seasons. While she claimed she would return to her old show, she recently revealed plans for a new podcast.

Kelis vs Beyonce Has Another Side Even Though “Energy” Is Gone

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

Beyoncé has spoken, but she did not say a single word about Kelis. She simply removed the song energy from her out. This means Kelis, the Neptunes, and a bunch of other people credited on the song are no longer given any credit on the song. The song is off the album.

At face value this seems like a simple act, but it is not. There is a long ripple effect that will happen. First of all, she would have received royalties from the song. Actually, she does receive royalties from the song. Apparently, the owners of the song, Pharrell and them, didn’t need Kelis’s permission. Chad and Pharrell are about 25% of the song, a source with me told. There is another 50% divided between Kelis, Sony, Empire and others. Most of the people on Beyoncé‘s album did not receive any publishing. They are named though.

The weird thing is legally they still are entitled to monies on the album, even though Beyoncé removed the the song. It’s a sad situation across-the-board, but it’s getting murkier than before because apparently people will still be paid.

I suppose it’s just an artist being an artist. It’s not really about the money, but it’s more about the respect. And, quite frankly, it seems as though her beef is with Pharrell. P-Real! Nobody is saying anything! Kelis has gotten a lot more eyeballs in the recent times, but I am not sure we’ll see her blow like before.

Irv Gotti Explains The Moment Ashanti Crushed His Heart

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Music executive Irv Gotti will appear on an upcoming episode of N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s “Drink Champs.” In a teaser, Irv spoke about the moment he found out that Ashanti was cheating on him with Nelly.

The Murder Inc. co-founder and R&B’s princess were reportedly a couple in the very beginning of her professional career, banging out hits after hits and controlling the top of the charts together.

But something happened to end what seemed to be a match made in Hip-Hop Heaven … That St. Louis dude.

Gotti says, “I could get past you wanting to be with Nelly.” N.O.R.E. took a quick dig and said, “Sounds like you didn’t get past that,” before the producer finished. Gotti continued, “Just be honest.”

“Listen at the time … it happens … any man …is hurt … the chick you f##king are in love with is with this …” Irv said before N.O.R.E. interrupted “Country grammar,” finishing Gotti’s sentence.

Irv Gotti shared how he found out. He believed that God wanted him to know and set everything in motion.

“I was at home watching my NBA package. I like watching sports,” he remembered. “Oh my God what’s this commotion going on in the stadium? We just found out what the commotion is: Nelly has walked in with Ashanti.'”

After that, Gotti says he was crushed.

AllHipHop.com reported that there is still some tension between Ashanti and Irv Gotti.

When asked about whether or not she will participate in the upcoming Murder Inc. tell-all docuseries, she said “no!” before turning away and laughing loudly with her mother.

Beyoncé Removes Kelis Sample From “Energy” Following Criticism

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Beyoncé decided to cut the Kelis sample from the recently released Renaissance album.

An interpolation of Kelis’ “Milkshake” was removed from the song “Energy” in wake of criticism from the singer. Kelis no longer appears in the credits of Beyoncé’s latest project.

Kelis initially called out Beyoncé in the comments of an Instagram fan page. The sample reignited the former Neptunes collaborator’s longstanding issues with Pharrell.

“My mind is blown too because the level of disrespect and utter ignorance of all 3 parties involved is astounding,” Kelis wrote. “I heard about this the same way everyone else did. Nothing is ever as it seems, some of the people in this business have no soul or integrity and they have everyone fooled.”

Kelis later elaborated on her beef in two videos. She mostly took aim at Pharrell, detailing problems receiving proper compensation for her work. But she also had a grievance with Beyoncé.

“All this female empowerment stuff, it only counts if you really do it,” she said. “If you’re really living it and walking the walk, don’t just talk the talk.”

Beyoncé released Renaissance on July 29. The album is projected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

By: Brxton LeeCategory: Uncategorized

Like many musicians, Saahil Kumar Chathrath comes from humble beginnings. No one handed him his success; he worked for it. But, as music is a passion and calling, he had significant motivation on his journey to becoming a household name. He didn’t choose this career path, it chose him, and Saahil Kumar realizes there was no other option than to make a living as a musician.

Saahil Kumar Chathrath has not lost his sense of self on this journey. If anything, music has helped keep him in check with himself. He hits the gym hard to stay healthy, makes time for friends, and networks with other creatives. All in all, Saahil Kumar Chathrath is the same good guy he has always been, but cementing a stance within the music world he loves has made him a better person.

Saahil Kumar Chathrath portrays himself as utterly human. He will not shy away from the times he has goofed (not his word) up or battled creative stumps to keep working on a new song. While musicians can be regarded as arrogant, Saahil Kumar Chathrath is anything but. He has genuine affection for his friends and family, plus a passion for travelling. He’s committed to growing his online presence this year and expanding his discography.

Sacramento Rapper, Skar, Talks About His Road to Success

By: Brxton LeeCategory: Music

The Sacramento music scene is overly competitive, and it is hard to break into the limelight and even make it to the global list. But this has not stopped Skar from getting to the top. Skar has cemented his place in the US music scene, with his work getting a lot of attention from both his growing fan base and players in the industry, such as Mozzy Records.

Skar signed with Mozzy Records and has been on three tours with them. He has performed in Boston, Atlanta, Seattle, Oregon, Chicago, NYC, and many more. Skar has also started his own label, No Feelings Ent.

His incredible voice, smooth lyrical flow, and undeniable rap skills help him stand out from the competition. Skar has millions of views on YouTube and has earned two plagues- one for 100K subscribers.

As a young artist, he says his goal is to use his music and social platforms to inspire other young people from his hometown and beyond. Skar is sharing his story with the world and showing his fans that nothing is unattainable.

Sacramento is known for its high crime rate, and growing up in the area, Skar didn’t know what it was like to have a dream. There weren’t many opportunities, and Skar explains that recording and releasing his first song was hard.

Despite these challenges, Skar didn’t give up. He continued believing in his dream, worked on his skills, and he has built a solid brand with his music playing in the US and beyond.

“It isn’t easy to get to your goals. You will encounter many roadblocks along the way; sometimes, certain situations will make the journey even harder. But you shouldn’t give up. You can do it!” Says Skar.

Police Searching For Single Attacker In JayDaYoungan Killing

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Police are looking for one gunman in the shooting death of JayDaYoungan.

According to The Advocate, Bogalusa Police Chief Kendall Bullen says his department isn’t searching for multiple shooters. The investigation presents a stark contrast to the account of JayDaYoungan’s father Kenyatta Scott, who told TMZ that five assailants attacked him and his son.

JayDaYoungan, whose real name was Javorious Scott, was shot and killed in his hometown of Bogalusa, Louisiana on July 27. He was 24.

Kenyatta Scott was also injured in the shooting, suffering two gunshot wounds to the arm. He survived and remains in stable condition.

JayDaYoungan’s father said a black truck pulled up to their home while they sat in the front yard. Three gunmen allegedly hopped out of the vehicle, then two more gunmen emerged on the side of the property.

Gunfire erupted as JayDaYoungan’s father, who was armed, allegedly shot back at the assailants in an attempt to defend himself and his son. But so far, Bogalusa police’s investigation hasn’t indicated anything about Kenyatta Scott firing a weapon during the attack.

A funeral for JayDaYoungan will be held at the Bogalusa High School Auditorium on Saturday (August 6). The service begins at 1 p.m. local time.

Game insisted his Drillmatic album will drop on August 12 despite some tough times in his personal life.

The West Coast rapper announced a mental health break but plans to focus on his album. Game detailed his recent troubles in an Instagram update about his wellbeing and Drillmatic.

Dolph Lundgren Attempts To Cool Down Hot-Headed Sylvester Stallone Over “Rocky” Spinoff

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Pop News

Dolph Lundgren has responded to Sylvester Stallone’s claims he is set to appear in a potential “Rocky” spinoff movie.

Over the weekend, Sylvester Stallone took to Instagram to slam Rocky producer Irwin Winkler for allegedly developing a new project about Lundgren’s character, Ivan Drago, without his knowledge.

Shortly after, the Swedish actor issued a statement on social media in which he insisted that the film had not been confirmed and that he had been in touch with Sylvester Stallone.

“Just to set the record straight regarding a possible Drago spinoff,” he wrote. “There’s no approved script, no deals in place, no director and I was personally under the impression that my friend Sly Stallone was involved as a producer or even as an actor. There was a press leak last week which was unfortunate. In touch with Mr Balboa – just so all the fans can relax…There ya go.”

A post shared by Dolph Lundgren (@dolphlundgren)

Stallone launched the boxing franchise with 1976’s “Rocky,” which he wrote and starred in. The franchise has since spawned five sequels and the “Creed” spinoff series, though the 76-year-old sold his rights to the “Rocky” screenplay to producers Winkler and the late Robert Chartoff, so he has no ownership stake in the film series.

In his post over the weekend, Stallone also blasted Lundgren over the spinoff news, writing, “By the way, I once had nothing but respect for Dolph but he NEVER told me about what was going on behind my back with the character I created for him !!! REAL FRIENDS Are more precious than gold.”

Sylvester Stallone has not yet replied to Lundgren’s statement.

Mase Pulls Out A File On Fivio Foreign Proving He Got Him $750K, Not Just The $5K He Originally Said

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

With all the talk about preachers ganking people out of their money, Pastor Ma$e wants to ensure his name is not in the mix.

After Fivio Foreign said on Wallo and Gillie Da King’s “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast that the Harlem rapper signed him for only $5,000, Ma$e went on the show to set the record straight.

He didn’t deny that Fivio Foreign received that amount but blamed the artist’s original manager as the swindler. The former Bad Boy artist, who jokingly referred to himself as Diddy 2.0, said he also got him a bag for almost three-quarters of a mil.

Ma$e said, “At one time, I gave him $5,000, but I gave him $750,000… because I set him up to do a deal to where I can control the deal, make the deal what it should be because I knew if he had the leverage, he would go in there and sell both of us out. He wasn’t able to do that because of the way I structured the deal.”

“Then, when we went in the building, I took $800,000 and he took $700,000. The reason why it went down to $700,000 is that when I gave him $750,000 and I took $750,000, he owed me $50,000,” he continued. “[He owed me $50,000] for all the money I was spending before he got the deal.”

Ma$e breaks out a file, sharing that when he first met Fivio, he was not just meeting the artist. He said he was going to sign another artist, Jay Dee. 

Jay Dee suggested Ma$e also sign his friends Fivio and Dee Sav.

“I gave $15,000 to a cop. It was a cop managing them,” Ma$e said. “I didn’t want to say this but since he’s talking reckless, let’s put it really out there…the cop took the money and never gave it to them.”

Ma$e said there were multiple problems around the Fivio deal, including them not keeping their word, missing shows, and members getting locked up. But he stuck with them.

So … how did the $750,000 come to pass?

It came from the deal Ma$e negotiated when he signed with Columbia. Ma$e says he also did not take any publishing or merchandise percentages based on anything Fivio puts out.

Ma$e’s file included videos of Fivio Foreign talking, contracts, phone calls from other executives, and more.

Kanye West Orders God To Step In Over Yeezy Day Feud With Adidas

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Adidas launched its Yeezy Day sale on Tuesday (August 2), but Kanye West wasn’t celebrating the sneaker holiday.

Kanye blasted Adidas in a direct message sent to Complex on Instagram. He claimed the company never sought his approval for the sale and other business decisions involving his Yeezy brand.

“Adidas made up the Yeezy day idea without my approval then went and brought back older styles without my approval,” he wrote. “[Adidas] picked colors and named them without my approval went and hired people that worked for me without my approval stole my colorways without my approval stole my styles and material approaches without my approval went and hired a gm of Yeezy without my approval took talent on the production side and sprinkled them throughout adidas originals without my approval.”

Kanye’s unpunctuated tirade also accused Adidas of trying to hinder his collaboration with Gap.

“Even though they did a Balenciaga collaboration they completely slowed down production on the shoes me and Demna developed for Gap by trying to bully Gap even though my contract states I can do casual shoes which I was doing when I did fashion shows,” he wrote. “When I originally ordered adidas to make more Yeezy slides the GM lied to my face and said they didn’t have the capacity meanwhile adidas was copying my slides and making their own version of the Yeezy slide Yeezy is 68% of adidas on line sales God step in.”

Kanye’s latest rant comes less than two months after he called out Adidas in a since-deleted Instagram post. He wanted to speak with the company’s CEO Kasper Rørsted because ‘Ye believed Adidas copied a Yeezy design for another line of slides.

Blueface Offers Chrisean $100K To Leave Him; Says She Slept With A Correctional Officer

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

The saga of Blueface and Chrisean continues! These two have got to be the most toxic people in all of life. The saga continues. People on social media have been giving their two cents to these two, basically telling them to in their relationship. It is Chris and Rihanna on steroids and fentanyl! I simply cannot believe being an anything this terrible.

Rapper Blueface And Chrisean Rock Brawl With Each Other On Hollywood Street

At any rate, they got into a tussle of some sort that played it self out on social media. Chrisean denied he hit her, but people are saying there was a physical interaction. And now the latest is that he went through her phone and discovered that she had cheated on him after a brief stay in jail. A correctional officer knocked the boots, according to blue face. He is Blueface telling the truth? Or is there a psychosis playing out here?

It is very difficult for me to tell, but I can see that it is definitely a terrible situation. Time and time again, these types of situations play out until someone is killed or severely hurt.

On top of that, she calls her out of her name in a way that really denotes disrespect. And refers to her own kids as well. Somehow or another I just feel that this is toxicity at levels we haven’t really seen from artists. Hopefully they get it together and go their separate ways. By the way, Chrisean says that this is all lies. He even offered her $100,000 just to walk away! Sounds like a great deal to me.

By the way, Chrisean has had a tremendous amount of trauma in her life.

Peep this.

Mystikal Allegedly Raped Woman Over $100 Dispute

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

The details of rapper Mystikal’s rape situation are starting to take shape. And sadly, the details are worse than the headlines. As you already know, mystical, real name Michael Taylor, it was arrested and booked at the Ascension Parish Jail. This is a result of a rape claim levied against him by his ex girlfriend. Now, we know that in the past this rapper, known for scores of hit songs, has had other incidents alleged of sexual assault and rape. But, the details of those situations were murky at best. So, he managed to beat a rape charge just last year. He even swore off groupies! It took a long time, but it was dismissed. Now, a year later or so he is under fire again.

Mystikal’s mug shot

However this time it is even worse! According to reports, Mystikal raped his girlfriend over $100. How true is this? I’m not quite sure but it does seem to be enough to have him denied bond and stay in prison. Also, we know that there’s more to these types of stories in the mere money. He’s got another type of problem. But the details say that she stole $100 from him and then he went off. The rapper began to act erratic and violent after beating her and yanking her braids out, according to the reports. Then they reportedly prayed together.

However, they must have been praying for different things. Because the woman went to the cops after that. And Mystikal was subsequently charged with first-degree rape, simple battery, felony domestic abuse and battery by strangulation! By the way, he is actually a registered sex offender because he was convicted in 2003. I did not know that!

This is really crazy. He reportedly made her pay him $150 back after he forced her to give him her phone. And then he allowed her to leave the house. When she left the house, she went to the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office and her bruises and cuts along with her damaged clothing, was enough. She told the cops he even picked up a pair of scissors and threatened her. She said he spit in her face and threw rubbing alcohol on her because she needed to cleanse the bad spirits from her. This is pretty crazy! Maybe HE was possessed?

We should have listened when he said…

A formal hearing is on the way, but for now this rapper will be in jail.

The Dream Schools Diane Warren After Her Senseless Attempt To Question Beyoncé

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

The-Dream has called out Diane Warren after she appeared to criticize Beyoncé for crediting multiple writers on each of her new songs.

On Monday, the prolific songwriter took to Twitter and asked followers, “How can there be 24 writers on a song? That’s 23 more than are on mine.”

Many people considered the comment to reference the credits on Beyoncé’s seventh studio album Renaissance, particularly the 24 credited songwriters on “Alien Superstar.”

In response, The-Dream explained that the number of credits was due to the samples used in the music.

“You mean how’s does our (Black) culture have so many writers, well it started because we couldn’t afford certain things starting out, so we started sampling and it became an Artform, a major part of the Black Culture (hip hop) in America,” he wrote in the comments section. “Had that era not happen who knows. U good? Btw I know it’s not a one on one writing contest you looking for from no one over here…… you don’t want that smoke And you know I love you, but come on. Stop acting like your records haven’t been sampled.
“
The-Dream is credited as a writer on a number of Renaissance tracks, including “I’m That Girl,” “Cozy,” and “Break My Soul,” under his real name Terius Nash.

Later, Warren insisted that she hadn’t meant any “disrespect” by her comments.

“I didn’t mean that as an attack or as disrespect. I didn’t know this, thank U for making me aware of it. No need to be mean about it,” Diane Warren replied to The-Dream.

And in a separate post, Warren issued an apology to Beyoncé.
“Ok, I meant no disrespect to @beyonce, who I’ve worked with and admire. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding,” she added.

Amber Heard Could Have Taken Half Of Johnny Depp’s Money From “Pirates Of The Caribbean,” But She Passed On The Offer

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Pop News

Amber Heard walked away from a bigger divorce payout from Johnny Depp, unsealed court documents have revealed.

The Hollywood pair’s marriage broke down in 2016, 15 months after they tied the knot.

The split has become increasingly ugly in the ensuing years, with Johnny, 59, and 36-year-old Amber fighting it out in court over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed she wrote calling herself “a public figure representing domestic abuse” in the wake of the divorce.

In June, a jury found in Johnny’s favor in their defamation trial, and Amber was ordered to pay her former spouse more than $10 million.

A mass of court documents relating to the case has been unsealed, and the revelation that Amber declined to go after a bigger divorce payout is among the new information available.

Her legal team advised that she could be paid half of the $33 million Johnny received for the fourth installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean” because they were still married.

Going against their guidance, she wrote she was being “amazingly true to (her) word, that this is not about the money” in an email sent to her lawyers. They ultimately reached a settlement of $7 million.

A judge refused to let that evidence be admitted during the 2022 trial.

At its conclusion, the jury also found the “Edward Scissorhands” actor liable for defaming Amber with one statement made by his former lawyer, and she was awarded $2 million.

Amber subsequently filed an appeal and insisted she doesn’t have the funds to cover the defamation settlement. The “Aquaman” actress recently sold her Californian home, TMZ reports.

Grandmaster Caz Reveals The Secrets Of Old School Hip-Hop

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Exclusives

Talking to pioneers is one thing, but talking to Grandmaster Caz is another. The Bronx native has been immersed in culture of Hip-Hop almost since it started. DJ Casanova Fly, as he was once known, has blazed trails that people walk on to this day. He was in the first Hip-Hop movie, “Wild Style,” putting him next to director Charlie Ahearn, Lee Quiñones, Lady Pink, Fab 5 Freddy and many more. Before that, he was boldly ripped off by Sugar Hill Gang’s Big Bank Hank, who unwittingly made Caz Hip-Hop’s first ghostwriter. This also made Caz party to 1979’s “Rapper’s Delight,” the first Hip-Hop song to go pop.

Since then, Caz has managed to stay relevant and maintain a stature as elder statesman of respect though a myriad of ways like LL Cool J’s Rock The Bell’s platform. Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur and DJ Thoro join forces for this special edition of the AllHipHop Podcast. They talk to the legend about his life and times, the tough period after Run DMC hit and also how he came up as a force in Hip-Hop. He also discusses the game-changing moment when Macklemore and Lewis’s first single changed his life with “Downtown,” a platinum hit starring Caz, Melle Mel and Kool Mo Dee.

Rapper Blueface And Chrisean Rock Brawl With Each Other On Hollywood Street

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Rapper Blueface and his girlfriend Chrisean Rock were captured fighting on video. 

The “Thotiana” chart-topper repeatedly tried to distance himself, but his “lady” continued to follow him, swinging at him as they walked down a Hollywood street.

TMZ said the fight occurred early Tuesday morning (August 2nd).

Chrisean Rock appears to be the aggressor, punching and pushing the rapper. Video shows that at one point, she grabs his shirt before smacking him across the face.

At this time, the artist returns a punch, not only knocking her in the head but to the ground and snatching the chain on her neck. This does not deter her. 

Chrisean Rock pops back up and grabs hold of his shirt again, and drags it until the two are around the corner. Once there, he bangs her against the wall and punches her multiple times in the head and body.

Local law enforcement was called to stop the couple’s all-out brawl. However, by the time they arrived, the two were gone.

This is not the first time Blueface has been associated with fighting (or beating on) a woman.

AllHipHop.com reported on rumors from earlier this year that centered around him beating up his mother and his sister, Karlissa and Kali.

Kali said, “Got jumped y 7 dudes including my brother then Rock ran up after the gang member jumped me and my husband. As you can see I peed on myself, I ain’t never fought 7 n###as before. All I could do was p### on myself. One thing about it, I don’t play a bout my mama. I’d do it all over again. Saddest part is his manager paying everybody at the party to post Rock dragging me after getting jumped by several n###as, including my brother.”

“BLUEFACE aka Johnny boy is a b##ch. He let Rock whoop on his mama then stomp his sister out w his homies. What go around come around, no threats I pulled up and handled my s##t fa my mom. What type of daughter would I be to see my mother w a black eye, blood dripping on her face, then these n***as wanna have a party the next day. I’d be damn.”

“My husband dead a## tried to fight 7 men and couldn’t help his wife c## they didn’t give af ran through his pockets and car. We got jumped and robbed at my blood brother’s house and you let [that] b##ch jump on your mom like wtf is gangsta about it. All the women at that party that watch my bro and his friend jump me and my husband, and wouldn’t call 9-1-1 for him while he was bleeding on the flooorr babbbbbby when I tell you God don’t miss not address you will feel this day and when yo do I pray you remember what you didn’t do.”

Blueface denied this, saying it was Chrisean Rock who beat them down, blacking both of their eyes.
