Blueface Admits He Doesn’t Want Chrisean Rock’s Baby

Rapper Blueface and his on-again off-again girlfriend Chrisean Rock have the most toxic and destructive relationship in Hip-Hop. Once believed a scam to get people to watch them and possibly get a check, the two have crashed and burned several times in front of all of the watching social media-files.

Now, their relationship is even more tumultuous because there is an unborn child involved— one that it seems the alleged father doesn’t want.

At 1:57 a.m. on May 9, Blueface tweeted, “Who ever the judge is on my child support case I told this hoe I don’t want the baby she still got time for an abortion an she forcing it on me so you better make the price right on cryp she tryna trap me judge look out for a cryp on sY.”

Minutes later at 1:59 a.m., he tweeted about his virtue, perhaps to convince a future judge to side with him.

“I pay all my taxes judge I’ma good n#### I got 2 kids no child support ever filed cuz I take care of a my kids but this victim playing hoe gone manipulate you judge she got me bro don’t let her get you she still got time to end all of this on cryp,” he wrote.

After the tweets, he later showed how she tried to set his plaques on fire. The “Thotiana” rapper believes she was actually trying the burn his house up.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Chrisean Rock announced she was pregnant with Blueface’s child in January. Last year, the couple’s turbulent relationship became the focus of a Zeus reality show titled Crazy in Love.

Tory Lanez Denied New Trial After Judge Dismantles His Whole Case

Tory Lanez won’t be getting another trial. According to journalist Meghann Caniff, who attended the proceedings in Los Angeles on Tuesday (May 9), the DAYSTAR rapper’s guilty conviction will hold in the 2020 shooting case of Megan Thee Stallion. Caniff continued tweeting throughout the trial, offering several details.

“Tory Lanez WILL NOT get a new trial for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion,” she wrote. “This is according to Judge David Herriford, who ruled from the bench a few minutes ago.”

She continued, “Herriford went through the seven main arguments from Lanez’s lawyers and dismantled each one. He concluded there were no errors. But he also said even if he concluded each error existed, the errors didn’t have a material affect on the outcome of the trial to warrant a new trial.”

Tory Lanez was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in December 2022, more than two years after the initial incident. He was found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.

Lanez filed a motion for a new trial earlier this year. He claimed he was “robbed and deprived of a fair trial” in an open letter to Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.

He added: “I’ve watched 2 district attorneys … unlawfully misuse their authority to hide and suppress any and all exculpatory evidence that exonerates me or furthers my innocence.”

Los Angeles Times reporter James Queally, said Lanez begged the judge to not “ruin” his life at a hearing earlier this month. He faces up to 22 years and eight months in prison. He’s remained in custody since the conviction but maintains his innocence.

One Of The Island Boys Arrested For Slapping His Girl & Pushing Her In A Pool

Internet sensation and one-half of the rap-adjacent duo, the Island Boys, Franky Venegas, aka Kodiyakredd, has been arrested for an act of violence against his partner.

His official charge is “domestic battery.”

According to TMZ, the influencer abused his girlfriend by smacking her up and then pushing her into the pool on Saturday, May 6.

The two were chilling in their lush Airbnb in Pompano Beach when the alleged incident happened. The alleged victim says Venegas assaulted her after she said she wanted to break it off with him due to his “physically abusive behavior.”

Once she threatened to leave him, he got enraged and slapped face, and pushed her into the pool. Once in the pool, she hit her chin on the concrete and bruised her face, arms, and legs.

According to a TMZ video, Kodiyakredd said he was in county jail for three days over the altercation but now he is out.

“I know I look f##ked up right now, but I was sitting in county jail for like three days and stuff like that,” he stated before adding 24 of those hours were on lockdown.

“But I’m out man. I’m free,” he said, adding, “Stop playing.”

No word on when he will be back in jail for his next hearing or if his leaving jail is a result of him posting bond or the charges being dropped. Either way, we hope he keeps his hands to himself.

Is There A Doctor In The House? Usher Gets Honorary Doctorate Of Music From Berklee College of Music

There is a lot of conversation swirling around Usher Raymond IV these days. Many are talking about his sold-out performances during his Las Vegas residency.

Some are talking about his rumored scuffle with Chris Brown during the weekend of his highly successful Lovers and Friends Festival.

There are those who are locked in and supportive of his New Look non-profit. Now, there is something else to talk about with Mr. “Nice & Slow.”

The eight-time Grammy award-winner will receive an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music at the 2023 commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 13, at 10:00 a.m. at Boston University’s Agganis Arena. 

Usher’s mom, Jonnetta Patton, made the announcement on her Facebook account.

“Honorary Degree from @BERKLEE.EDU So deserving!! Proud moment,” she wrote.

While Usher did not go to college, he did graduate from North Springs High School in Atlanta, GA.

That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t value education. His nonprofit Usher’s New Look encourages top grades while training students to be outstanding leaders. Program participants identify their “sparks” and call themselves “Disruptivators.”

“Usher’s commitment to young people (specifically the young people in UNL) is motivated by his desire to use his platform to shape a generation of Disruptivators: individuals are positively purposeful in their desire to disrupt systems that don’t serve them or the spark inside them to change the world,” said Geoff Streat, the chief operations officer at Usher’s New Look, according to Finurah.

“It is inspiring to see him not only lead by example,” Streat continued. “But through models of financial stability, academic excellence, and political advocacy, all tenets we believe the young people we serve take with them throughout life.”

In addition to Usher, two other powerhouses will receive an honorary doctorate from this distinguished school: four-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Roberta Flack and one of the foremost kora players in the world, Sona Jorbarteh.

Charleston White Calls Child Services On Finesse2Tymes!

Charleston White manages to stay relevant in the news and the rumors. This time he has decided to call child protective services on Finesse2Tymes. For those I don’t know Finesse2Tymes is a rapper signed to Atlantic Records and he has a strong affiliation with J. Prince. He got my attention because he seems to have some consciousness in self-awareness, like icing up three Klansman on a noose. Anyway, the rapper allegedly posted a video of his son smoking marijuana. So Charleston White took it upon himself to call the kiddie authorities on the artist. He did not prefer to be anonymous, telling CPS: “I want them to know I did because I work with children and it’s my obligation to report something that you think children are in danger.” The other rapper – the kid in question – is Lil King AKA Finesse2Tymes’s “son.”

Here’s Lil King. Charleston White might be onto something. LOL!

By the way, Lil King’s mom just got out of jail and decided to clear up the rumors about her. She says she is NOT on crack! So, Lil King has a whole mom – that just got out of jail – and a whole dad that are alive…but not taking care of their son. And also, the grandma had custody of him, however it does not seem like she has any control over the situation. It looks like the set got him now.

Here’s mom talking:

Roddy Ricch Agrees To Pay His Ex $24,000 In Child Support

Rodrick “Roddy Ricch” Moore Jr. is in the middle of a child custody battle with his ex-girlfriend, Alexandra Kiser. A new report claims the West Coast rapper must pay Kiser a sum of $24,000.

According to Radar Online, Roddy Ricch agreed to pay the amount to cover temporary child support. The two parties reportedly must still settle the legal fight before a final decision.

The $24,000 will supposedly cover three child support payments for April, May, and June. Plus, Roddy Ricch and Alexandra Kiser apparently arranged to attend a voluntary settlement conference without a judge.

Earlier this month, news broke that Kiser wanted $20,000 a month in child support and full custody of three-year-old Kadence Moore. She also accused Ricch of abusing drugs and being involved in gang activity.

“[Rodrick Moore Jr.] is a very successful and highly paid entertainer who goes by the name of Roddy Ricch. He has a net worth of approximately $25,000,000. He commands fees of $500,000 for appearances,” read Los Angeles County court documents filed by Alexandra Kiser.

In addition, Kiser alleged Roddy Ricch is an absentee father. For example, she contended, “I was hurt to find out on Christmas Eve when he came back from his trip that he hadn’t gotten or planned anything for our son for Christmas.”

Roddy Ricch’s 2019 album, Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial, spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The RIAA certified the studio LP as 2x-Platinum in November 2020. Live Life Fast peaked at No. 4 in 2022.

Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial hosts “The Box” track. That single remained at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for eleven weeks. Roddy Ricch also scored a Number One as a guest feature on DaBaby’s “Rockstar.”

Lil Durk and YoungBoy Never Broke Again had been feuding for years. DJ Akademiks publicly claimed the beef between the two rhymers recently came to an end.

However, YoungBoy Never Broke Again seems to want the bad blood with Lil Durk to continue. He now seemingly has personal issues with Akademiks as well. Ak addressed the situation on Twitter.

“Lol, I never thought I see the day my homie diss me cuz his sales [were] low. This rap game is the devil lol,” tweeted DJ Akademiks. “Youngboy I forgive u, man. We can get them sales up otherwise… lol. But ok.”

YoungBoy Never Broke Again does have four No. 1 projects in his catalog. One of those Billboard 200 chart-toppers, 2019’s AI YoungBoy 2, earned 2x-Platinum certification from the RIAA.

The online back-and-forth did not end with Akademiks blasting YoungBoy Never Broke Again over album sales. Around 11 pm ET, YoungBoy returned to Twitter to fire back at his latest foe.

“@Akademiks you steady talking bout sales, b####. I’m paid you can’t manipulate me, clown. [You’re] embarrassing yourself. Simple fact: I can’t be f##### with that’s why I’m dropping. ‘Cause all you n##### hoes and I’m better,'” tweeted YoungBoy.

Philthy Rich Cops To Gun Charge; Facing Jail Time Over Straw Purchases

Oakland rapper Philthy Rich is looking at some jail time now that he has pleaded guilty to attempting to illegally purchase firearms.

The case against Philthy Rich began in July 2021 when he was charged with conspiracy to make false statements in the acquisition of a firearm and one count of making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm. 

The accusations stem from allegations that he paid co-defendant Jasmine Garcia to act as a straw purchaser to buy guns in her name and transfer them to him in violation of the law. 

Garcia has pleaded guilty to her role in the scheme. She is expected to receive a “time served” sentence if she doesn’t break any laws before sentencing.

Philthy Rich initially proclaimed his innocence through his attorney David Chesnoff, who said, “we are looking forward to the trial of this matter as our client absolutely maintains his innocence.”

According to The Mercury News, Philthy Rich has since changed his mind, and there will be no trial because he accepted a guilty plea. 

Philthy Rich is set to be sentenced on June 21st.

LL Cool J Is Ready To “Call It A Comeback” With Eminem, Nas, Saweetie & More!

LL Cool J is making his fundamental move forward back into the forefront of hip-hop. The self-proclaimed G.O.A.T. is rightfully flying very high. He has an empire that he’s built with Rock The Bells and he is definitely one of the best to ever do it. Now, he is working on reestablishing himself as an artist in the current day. It does not hurt Tha we are already in a classic Hip-Hop-inclined era.

But what is he working on?

That’s where things get extremely interesting. LL is reportedly working on a new project that includes a myriad of acts.  LL is preparing to drop his first album in 10 years and he has some heavy hitters joining him. I’m talking about Eminem, Nas, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Saweetie and MORE! On top of that, the legend in leather said the album is ENTIRELY produced by Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest fame!

This is about to be crazy! I don’t know exactly what further to say about this other than I really hope it’s a watershed moment for the goat of rap, because he can be the George Foreman of hip-hop! Not to say that he’s overweight, or anything like that, but he certainly is one of the elder statesman of the culture. He can come back and show that it can be done. I wonder what the album title will be?

What do you think?

Salt Of Salt-N-Pepa Recalls Pressure To Get Abortion During Height Of Career

Salt-N-Pepa member Cheryl “Salt” James revealed she was asked to get an abortion when she got pregnant during the group’s heyday.

James shared her story while discussing motherhood and the music industry in an interview with Tamron Hall. Salt did not name the person who wanted her to get an abortion.

“I was actually—I don’t think I’ve ever said this out loud,” she said. “I was actually asked to have an abortion, I won’t say by who. But to your point, yeah, you just have to know that it’s something that you’re capable of handling if you want a kid and you want to have a career. And it’s definitely harder.”

Salt was glad she ignored the unidentified person’s request. She emphasized how much she loved being a mom in her conversation with Hall.

“Having my daughter, besides finding Jesus, is the best thing that I’ve ever experienced, my kids,” she said. “Like, I needed that little baby in my life. She kept me company on the road.”

Jay-Z Still Dodging Paternity Test From Man Claiming To Be His Son

A man claiming to be Jay-Z’s son continued the fight to force Hov to take a paternity test.

According to the Daily Mail, Rymir Satterthwaite filed a motion to unseal court documents in his case against Jay-Z. More than a decade ago, Satterthwaite and his godmother Lillie Coley pursued legal action to prove he is Hov’s illegitimate son.

The New Jersey Supreme Court denied Satterthwaite’s motion, noting it did not have jurisdiction to grant his request. He refiled the motion in the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court.

“This is not going to be over until justice is served,” Satterthwaite said. “I just want to live my life and, when it is all said and done, I hope that Jay-Z would want to be a part of my life if that is God’s will.”

He added, “I won’t stop fighting for this until I win. And I will win because the law is on our side.”

Satterthwaite accused Jay-Z of manipulating the legal system to avoid a paternity test. Satterthwaite’s mother Wanda believed Hov was the real father of her child. She issued a statement about her son’s case before she passed away in 2016.

“I want the world to know that I support my son in his paternity suit with Shawn Corey Carter,” she said in a video published by Radar Online. “I stand by my allegations regarding this man.”

Satterthwaite suffered several legal defeats in his effort to prove he is Jay-Z’s son. Hov’s attorneys expected the New Jersey Superior Court to dismiss Satterthwaite’s latest motion.

“The allegations have been previously reviewed thoroughly by the courts and have been refuted,” a lawyer for Jay-Z told the Daily Mail. “I am sure that will be the outcome of whatever filings Mr. Satterthwaite may be currently considering.”

Satterthwaite insisted he wasn’t seeking compensation from Jay-Z. The man said he only wanted to be acknowledged as Hov’s son.

Drake Finds Out He Is Part Nigerian, Eager To Be A “Naija Man”

Canadian rapper Drake, who is of African and Jewish ancestry, has revealed that his father’s DNA reflects that his dad is mostly Nigerian.

Dennis Graham, the Champagne Papi’s father, has posted his Ancestry.com results.

Daddy Drake’s results are 30 percent Nigerian, 28 percent Cameroon, Congo & Western Bantu peoples, 11 percent from the Ivory Coast & Ghana, 8 percent from England & Northwestern Europe, and also from Scotland, Mali, Benin & Togo (4 percent), and Germanic Europe (3 percent).

Excited about the results, Drake took to social media and posted on his Instagram stories, “This is my dad’s results. Does this mean I’m a Naija Man Finally?

Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, is biracial. His father is African American and his mother identifies as an Ashkenazi Jew.

According to Ethnicelebs, his Canadian mother is named Sandi (Sher).

She is a teacher and florist, who is of Latvian Jewish and Russian Jewish descent.

As a predominately solo parent, she raised Drake in a Jewish household. In the culture, having a Jewish mother makes one Jewish. Growing up, he attended Jewish day school and was Bar Mitzvah.

Drake’s dad grew up in America and is not only his primary connection to the continent but the bloodline connecting Drizzy to another musical legend.

By way of Drake’s dad, the recording artist is rumored to be related to the iconic Larry Graham. The 1993 Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, who was down with the likes of Sly and the Family Stone is Drake’s uncle. Graham has not publicly confirmed or denied it, only saying Drake would not be saying it if it was not true.

Currently, Drake has dual citizenship in Canada and the United States of America.

Tory Lanez Begs Judge Not To Ruin His Life As He Awaits Ruling On New Trial

Tory Lanez must wait another day to learn if he will be granted a new trial.

Lawyers representing Tory Lanez argued his case in a Los Angeles courtroom on Monday (May 8). Judge David Herriford announced he will rule on the motion for a new trial on Tuesday morning (May 9).

According to Los Angeles Times reporter James Queally, Tory Lanez begged the judge to not “ruin” his life. The Canadian rapper/singer returned to jail after Monday’s hearing.

Last December, Tory Lanez was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion. He was found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.

The polarizing artist faces up to 22 years and eight months in prison. He maintains his innocence.

Earlier this year, Tory Lanez filed a motion for a new trial. He claimed he was “robbed and deprived of a fair trial” in an open letter to Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.

“I’ve watched 2 district attorneys … unlawfully misuse their authority to hide and suppress any and all exculpatory evidence that exonerates me or furthers my innocence,” he wrote.

He has remained in custody since his December 2022 conviction.

California rapper Young Lo aka EverybodyKnowsLo, whose real name is Lowell Grissom, was murdered Sunday morning outside of a South Beach nightclub during a party.

Around 4:00 a.m., CBS News Miami said the fatal shootout claimed the life of the popular rapper, known to kick it with Hitmaka and Ray J. Two other women were injured during the melee and were rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital. They are expected to recover from the shooting.

SNBC 13 said all of the shooting victims were taken to the hospital. Lo was the only one not to survive.

The Gala nightclub released a statement saying in part, “We are shocked and deeply saddened by the isolated and targeted incident that occurred last night at our upscale establishment.”

Friends also believe that the rapper was a target in the shooting.

Lo was a recent Florida transplant and leaves a young son to mourn. No suspect has been arrested or identified in the shooting or connected to a motive.

Lo has performed or collaborated with Rich The Kid, Murda Beatz, Young Blacc, Tyga and even Chris Brown.

Breezy took to his social media and posted in his story a tribute to his friend saying, “Love you bro, Rest up My Brother” with a broken heart emoji.

Young Lo and Brown were both named in a sexual assault lawsuit in 2018, according to NPR.

The Family Of Jordan Neely Demand Call From NYC Mayor Eric Adams Over Homeless Man’s Murder On Subway Train In New Statement

Over the weekend, ex-marine, Daniel Penny, 24, released a statement about why he placed Jordan Neely, a homeless Michael Jackson impersonator, in a fatal chokehold while riding on a New York subway car. Now, the family of the street performer has responded with their own remarks regarding Penny’s account of the May 1 murder of the 30-year-old.

They also called for New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams to give them a call.

AllHipHop.com obtained the press release from the law firm Mills & Edwards lambasting Penny’s lawyers’ characterization of the incident and their client’s actions.

They dismissed the comments as a “non-apology” and are demanding justice for their loved one who was “killed” at the hands of the military man.

While pointing at Penny’s statements, lawyers Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards wrote on behalf of Jordan’s family, “Daniel Penny’s press release is not an apology nor an expression of regret. It is a character assassination and a clear example of why he believed he was entitled to take Jordan’s life.”

Adding, “In the first paragraph he talks about how ‘good’ he is, and the next paragraph he talks about how ‘bad’ Jordan was in an effort to convince us Jordan’s life was ‘worthless.’ The truth is, he knew nothing about Jordan’s history when he intentionally wrapped his arms around Jordan’s neck and squeezed and kept squeezing.”

“In the last paragraph, Daniel Penny suggests that the general public has shown ‘indifference’ for people like Jordan, but that term is more appropriately used to describe himself,” they continued. “It is clear he is the one who acted with indifference, both at the time he killed Jordan and now in his first public message. He never attempted to help him at all. In short, his actions on the train, and now his words, show why he needs to be in prison.”

The family wants Adams and the world to know, Jordan’s life mattered just as much as any other person in the city— blasting anyone who assisted in the young man’s death or not speaking out against it.

According to NY1, Penny’s lawyers released a comment after the incident, one ruled a homicide by the city’s medical examiner.

While saying they sending their condolences to Neely’s family, they also noted the young man had a “documented history of violent and erratic behavior.”

He believed, though he did not know about said behavior, he was acting to protect other passengers on the subway.

It said in part, “Daniel never intended to harm Mr. Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death. For too long, those suffering from mental illness have been treated with indifference. We hope that out of this awful tragedy will come a new commitment by our elected officials to address the mental health crisis on our streets and subways.”

They also wrote, “When Mr. Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel Penny and the other passengers, Daniel, with the help of others, acted to protect themselves, until help arrived.”

Little has been released about Penny’s background, but records show he served for four years in the military from 2017 to 2021.

Penny has not been charged with the homicide, according to the New York Times. There is no word on if there will be any charges for the crime against the ex-marine for killing the homeless man.
