Every day, Cardi B has some new criticism from her haters, but a lot of times, it relates to her body. The Bronx rapper has been incredibly transparent about the type of work she’s had under the knife. Now, she’s pushing back against the ongoing speculation about her body, telling her critics that they need to stop assuming that she’s constantly undergoing cosmetic procedures

The Bronx rapper addressed the conversation on social media this week after repeatedly seeing comments from people urging her to get a BBL reduction. Cardi said she has already taken steps to reduce her previous enhancements but does not plan to undergo another major procedure.

According to Cardi, she has had two liposuction procedures and one butt reduction. She explained that another reduction would require a more invasive process because of loose skin, which could involve cutting and a lengthy recovery period.

“I like my body how it looks right now. I’m comfortable in my skin,” Cardi B said while responding to critics. She added that she is not interested in taking time away from her busy schedule for another surgery.

Cardi B Claps Back Over Body Speculation

The rapper also questioned why fans continue to assume she has had new work done every time she appears with a different look. Cardi pointed out that she frequently shares updates from her life and travels, making it unlikely that she would have enough downtime for repeated procedures.

She also defended her current appearance. She said she has been transparent about the methods she uses to maintain her look. Cardi encouraged followers to focus less on speculation and more on healthy habits, mentioning the importance of staying hydrated and maintaining proper digestion.

Brittany Renner has been beefing with everyone as of late. Recently, she issued a strong message to her exes, PJ Washington and Kevin Gates. Furthermore, she had some strong words for DJ Akademiks.

As we reported yesterday, she also clapped back against her haters during a Kick live stream. It was here that she said others were jealous, and that at 34 years old, she was still all natural.

In the midst of all of this, Lil Duval insulted Renner on X by questioning her attractiveness. In his mind, Renner was only accepted because everyone was at the time of her rise to fame.

“Brittney Renner never looked good to me she was just lightskin and came out at the right time social media was accepting anybody,” Lil Duval wrote.

This led to a strong reply from Renner, who was not going to sit by and be disrespected. As you will read, she made fun of Lil Duval’s looks.

Brittany Renner Clashes With Lil Duval

“The confidence is admirable. Never in history have you been any woman’s dream guy, you short, wide-mouthed bitch,” Renner clapped back.

A quick social media search will show you that Duval has not responded to Renner’s digs. Clearly, this isn’t something that he is particularly interested in spending time on.

As for Renner, it has been an interesting couple of months for her. She recently came out and stated that she was no longer Muslim. The influencer revealed that the lifestyle no longer made her happy.

Meanwhile, she has the entire internet coming for her, which has led to these social media spats. Only time will tell if things become less chaotic for her.

Kanye West Avoids Trial After Settling Former Assistant’s Sexual Harassment Lawsuit https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1003858-kanye-west-settles-sexual-harassment-lawsuit Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:15:38 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1003858 Settlement terms remain confidential.

It’s been quite the year for Kanye West, who has been working diligently to try and repair his public image. However, behind the scenes, it wasn’t just about trying to apologize for the wildly insensitive and racist remarks he made. His former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, sued him for sexual harassment in 2024. But according to court documents filed in Los Angeles, the two have now reached a settlement in the case. 

Per TMZ, the parties reached an unconditional settlement on July 23. The filing states that a formal request to dismiss the case will be submitted within 45 days of the agreement. Financial terms and any other conditions of the settlement have not been made public, and neither side has commented on the resolution.

Pisciotta alleged she was subjected to repeated sexual harassment during her employment before ultimately being dismissed. Her complaint accused Kanye West of sending numerous explicit text messages, photos, and videos, including graphic sexual fantasies that she said created a hostile work environment. In one text, he allegedly wrote, “See my problem is I be wanting to f*** but then after I f*** I want a girl to tell me how hard they been f***** while I’m f****** them. Then I want her to cheat on me.”

Moreover, the lawsuit also contained allegations of physical misconduct. Pisciotta claimed West inappropriately touched her during a hotel stay and alleged that he fell asleep during the encounter. In addition, she accused him of drugging her during a recording studio session that she said was co-hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Kanye West Settles Lawsuit

West has consistently denied the allegations made in the lawsuit. However, the lawsuit was not the first time West has faced allegations of sexual misconduct. In a separate claim, a woman named Jenn An accused the musician of sexually assaulting and physically assaulting her during an incident in 2010. West has denied previous allegations of misconduct.

Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s Fingers Reportedly Still Missing Amid D4vd Murder Case https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1003853-celeste-rivas-hernandez-fingers-d4vd Wed, 29 Jul 2026 14:57:30 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1003853 With D4vd going to trial for the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas, prosecutors are now stating how lots of evidence is missing.

D4vd is set to stand trial for murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains. He allegedly committed these crimes against Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who was found in a Tesla belonging to the artist, last year.

Last week, the preliminary hearing began, as the prosecution attempted to explain why this case must go to trial. In the end, the judge felt they had made a compelling argument and ordered a trial. At this time, the trial’s start date is to be determined.

According to TMZ, the prosecution is attempting to locate specific pieces of evidence ahead of the trial. As they explain, Celeste’s left ring finger and pinky finger are missing. They claim D4vd’s name is tattooed on the aforementioned ring finger.

D4vd Murder Case Continues

Furthermore, the prosecution alleges that the murder weapon is nowhere to be found. Autopsy reports stated that Celeste Rivas initially died due to stab wounds. Security footage from the alleged timing of the murder, the victim’s purse, and the singer’s cellphones are also reportedly missing. Investigators are still trying to acquire these pieces of alleged evidence, although there is a chance that they won’t be able to.

On Monday, D4vd’s legal team issued its defense, painting Celeste Rivas Hernandez as the aggressor. They claimed that she had threatened the singer’s life and career. Furthermore, they alleged that her family was consenting to the relationship.

The Hernandez family attorney eventually responded to these claims, saying that it was disgusting to blame a 14-year-old.

This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for updates.

Usher Responds To Gabrielle Cheyenne Following Nashville Debacle https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1003841-usher-responds-gabrielle-cheyenne Wed, 29 Jul 2026 14:35:59 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1003841 Usher recently came through with a response to Gabrielle Cheyenne as he invited a fan on stage in Birmingham, Alabama.

Usher found himself in the news over the weekend after kicking a woman off stage for not being enthused by his performance. This took place in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday, and the clip went extremely viral on social media.

For those who missed it, Gabrielle Cheyenne was invited on stage, but clearly didn’t care for what Usher was doing. Her disinterest was so apparent that the singer had to intervene. In the aftermath, Cheyenne went off on internet commenters for calling her ungrateful and rude. She subsequently went on to say that she was only there for Chris Brown.

On Tuesday night, during a show in Birmingham, Alabama, Usher tendered a response of sorts. As you will hear below, he invited a fan on stage, but had a word of warning. Only agree to come up if you actually want to be there.

Usher Speaks Out

It was a very pointed comment, and a subtle dig at Gabrielle Cheyenne. However, it was also an important message to make. At the end of the day, you want your fans to enjoy the experience. Going up on stage takes a lot of courage, and not being interested in the performance can be embarrassing. That being said, it appears as though Usher is now putting in safeguards to avoid any issues going forward.

Gabrielle Cheyenne has been doing quite a few interviews since Saturday. Some believe she is trying too hard to achieve her 15 minutes of fame. Others are simply annoyed that her behavior got her so much attention.

Regardless, The R&B Tour continues.

Keefe D Suffers Major Blow As Judge Allows 2008 Police Interview At Tupac Murder Trial https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1003846-keefe-d-2008-police-interview-tupac-murder-trial Wed, 29 Jul 2026 14:25:42 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1003846 Defense attorneys argued the statements were obtained under promises of immunity, but the court rejected those claims.

The post Keefe D Suffers Major Blow As Judge Allows 2008 Police Interview At Tupac Murder Trial appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Justice for Tupac’s death might not be too far away. With September marking 30 years since his death, Keefe D will be standing trial in just a few weeks for his alleged role in his death. However, it’s turning into an uphill battle for him as he’s now facing a major setback. According to All Hip Hop, the judge ruled that a 2008 interview he gave to police can be presented to the jury as evidence. 

Defense attorneys had attempted to block the interview, arguing that investigators assured Keefe D, whose legal name is Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the statements would never be used against him in a criminal case. They also claimed he spoke under pressure out of fear for the safety of his family. However, the court found those arguments unpersuasive, noting that Davis was represented by legal counsel during the interview and was not in a vulnerable position when he made the statements.

The ruling removes a key element of the defense’s pretrial strategy, but it is only one piece of the prosecution’s case. Prosecutors are also expected to rely heavily on Davis’ 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend, in which he recounted his alleged role in the events surrounding Shakur’s fatal shooting. In the book, Davis claimed he was riding in the vehicle involved that night, identified his late nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, as the gunman, and wrote that he supplied the firearm used in the attack.

Keefe D’s Defense

Defense lawyers maintain those accounts were exaggerated for commercial purposes. They argued they were intended to sell books and attract publicity rather than serve as factual admissions. Prosecutors, however, contend the repeated, detailed descriptions support their allegation that Davis helped organize the fatal shooting. 

The closely watched trial will begin on August 10th and is expected to last approximately four weeks. The 63-year-old is charged in connection with the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur. If convicted, he could face a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

DJ Envy has found himself as the butt of the joke online this week, all puns intended. Why? Well, during a segment on The Breakfast Club, Envy copped to having poor lower-half hygiene.

The crew was debating some comments made by singer Eric Benet. The singer claims some men see washing their butt as “gay.” Although those men tend to be the stinkiest of them all. Well, Envy revealed that he had similar problems, until his wife taught him otherwise.

“All right, confession confession. I tell too much up here—my wife hates it but it’s all good,” Envy said. “So yes, I used to be the type of guy that didn’t ‘get up all in there.’ But I never thought about it. It’s not a conversation to have with the fellas at the barber shop when we out and about like, ‘Hey fellas, did you wash your ass?’ One day me and Gia—this [was] a long time ago, you know, we take showers with each other, we wash each other. And one day she got all in there, and I’m like ‘Whoa.’ And then I realized I’m supposed to wash my ass thoroughly and correctly. So ever since that I’m like, ‘I wash my ass.’ But you should get up all in there, you don’t want stinky ass.”

DJ Envy With A Gross Admission

Jess Hilarious thought the admission was funny, but also pretty embarrassing. It led to a response in which she told Envy that his wife was probably sick of him.

“Imagine how long before that happened she was really thinking about like really probably breaking up with you,” Hilarious joked. “That’s probably why she didn’t orgasm either.”

As for Charlamagne, he was completely incredulous about all of this.

“I’ve never in my life heard this nonsense that y’all are speaking this morning,” Charlamagne quipped.

Some things are just better left unsaid.

Nicki Minaj’s Sister Explains The Real Reason They’re Not On Good Terms https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1003836-nicki-minaj-sister-ming-li-strained-relationship Wed, 29 Jul 2026 13:55:05 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1003836 Ming Li opens up about the distance between her and Nicki Minaj.

The post Nicki Minaj’s Sister Explains The Real Reason They’re Not On Good Terms appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Nicki’s largely kept her private life under wraps, but over the years, her family life has made its way into the news. Her husband’s legal problems have made headlines, along with her brother and other members of her immediate family. Her sister Ming Li hasn’t necessarily helped with maintaining her privacy, and that might be why they don’t have the greatest relationship with each other these days.

During a recent interview with Adam22, Ming Li explained that she and her sister aren’t really seeing eye to eye these days, and it’s largely due to the media runs she’s been on lately.

“She probably got mad because she didn’t want me to basically talk about her and stuff like that, which I do 100% respect. It’s just that, at the time, it’s my first interview,” she said. “Regardless, people are still going to ask me about my sister.”

When Adam22 pointed out that Nicki Minaj was being incredibly sensitive, Ming explained that she’s an Aquarius who has had to deal with tremendous amounts of trauma, some of which she’s not even aware of.

Nicki Minaj’s Sister Defends Her

“We don’t know what the f*ck that woman been through,” she said, pushing back against Adam22’s statements. “She’s been through so much since a young age.”

She added, “I could understand her reaction with people sometimes because it has to be on a distance level because not everyone is very genuine. And sometimes, yes, she do have an off-way where sometimes you’re going to have to ‘chill the f*ck out.’ But I understand where she’s coming from.”

Ultimately, she explained that Nicki’s mentality is rooted in her survival instincts and having to maneuver through hostile environments across her whole life. Even as Adam22 tried to downplay Nicki and her fanbase, Ming still made it clear that her sister still has her own reasons for behaving the way she does.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have been going strong over the past couple of years, despite everything the two have been through. Even through all of Ye’s controversies, Censori has stood by his side. Meanwhile, the two have been able to brush past the criticism of their relationship and Censori’s revealing outfits.

At this point, these two are established, and it doesn’t appear as though anything can come between them. In the case of Ye, he is always excited to show off photos of himself with Censori on social media.

For instance, he posted photos of the two on Tuesday evening. Censori could be seen wearing a black bodysuit of sorts. Meanwhile, Ye was wearing one of his signature minimalist outfits.

Bianca Censori & Kanye West Out And About

Yesterday was a big day for West. He called into Larry Jackson’s summit, where he thanked fans for all of their support on his new album, Bully.

“Yeah, I just wanted to thank y’all so much for getting behind this on this journey. These number ones mean even more than the Graduation’s and the Watch the Throne’s, and all the number ones before because, as you know, about a year into the project, I went into an episode,” Ye said. “So, this right here is a celebration and a victory, a success story for people who deal with mental health crises, to be able to come out of it and actually have number one records. With all the things that were done, with all the things that were said, and for you guys to be so forgiving and so supportive, it just means the world to me.”

We will certainly be seeing more of Ye and Censori, as the Summer continues.

Ari Fletcher was in the news over the weekend after an unfortunate sex tape leak showed up on X. This leak led to some strong reactions on social media, with many commenting on the man in the video.

No one actually knows who the man in the video is. His face is not shown, which has led to speculation. However, some people have made up their minds as to who is in the clip. It’s an unfair assumption to make, but after all, this is the internet. People are always going to stick to their beliefs.

This has been especially true in the case of Finesse2Tymes. The rapper has had his fair share of sex tape leaks over the years, so this is nothing to him. That said, it did not stop him from assuming that the man in the video is MoneyBagg Yo.

Finesse2Tymes Weighs In

This led to a bout of body shaming, as he said: “MoneyBagg d*ck little as hell.” Once again, Finesse2Tymes is making a grand assumption by saying the man in the clip is MoneyBagg Yo. There is no evidence to suggest that this is the case.

At this time, Ari Fletcher has not commented on the existence of this video. She has been through this before with close calls on Snapchat. Ultimately, it is an unfortunate situation. There have been a few leaks over the past few weeks involving streamer Tbvnks, Camryn LaVine, and artist ilykimchi.

The internet forgets these kinds of things quickly these days, although Finesse2Tymes’ commentary certainly doesn’t help matters.
