Cam’ron is going viral this morning following a report that JÄY-Z is going to be the Super Bowl Halftime Show performer in 2027. This report came from Puck News, who claim various sources have confirmed that the legendary rapper has assigned himself the role.

If you’re wondering what Cam has to do with any of this, well, wonder no more. Back in September, a report circulated claiming that Hov couldn’t find anyone to do the Halftime Show. Puck News corroborates this, claiming Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber both turned down the show. However, when this report first circulated, Cam hilariously suggested that JÄY-Z was using this as an excuse to soft launch himself as the performer.

Cam’ron and Ma$e saw the humor in all of this. Although they made it clear that if they were in Hov’s position, they would do the exact same thing. Now that it is looking like JÄY-Z is, in fact, the Halftime Show performer, Cam’s previous comments are going viral.

Cam’ron Is A Prophet

It’s important to note that JÄY-Z, Roc Nation, and the NFL have yet to confirm the report from Puck News. However, it is typically around this time that we find out who the Super Bowl Halftime Show is going to be.

On February 14, 2027, Super Bowl LXI will take place in Inglewood, California, at SoFi Stadium. It just so happens that JÄY-Z is performing there this weekend, on Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24.

Perhaps this could be a test run for another big performance in about three and a half months from now. Ultimately, only time will tell whether or not an official announcement happens soon.

The post Charlamagne Tha God Seemingly Throws Shade At Mero & Hot 97 Over Ratings appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
With over 16 years on the air, Charlamagne Tha God isn’t buying into Mero and Kaz’s recent claims that they’ve had the #1 show in New York City on Hot 97. During a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne came through with a bit of a fact check after the Mornings With Mero hosts took shots at the executive offices. Specifically, Kaz stated that Mornings With Mero had “better ratings than our chief competition” in the past three months.

Charlamagne evidently didn’t appreciate this claim, though he expressed nothing but love for everyone who worked on Mornings With Mero.

“New York City has, once again, okay, made Breakfast Club, number one: 18-34, 18-49, and 25-54,” he said. “Salute to my guy Kaz, and salute to Mero. I’m sorry y’all are going through whatever you’re going through over there, but they never beat us.”

Charlamagne said that he’s already had conversations with Kaz and executive producer Jason about the statement. However, he made it clear that they should be coming through with the right numbers if they’re going to go to war with corporate offices. Meanwhile, DJ Envy clarified that the numbers were pulled directly from Nielsen.

Charlamagne Tha God Speaks On Hot 97 Drama

“That’s why I want my guys out there–I don’t know where they got that from, you know, but I don’t want them out there doing that because if you’re going to war with corporate… because corporate got these numbers. So corporate’s sitting back like, ‘when the hell did y’all beat The Breakfast Club?’” he continued. 

Mero and Kaz’s comments last week also drew commentary from DJ Akademiks, who said that he would take over Hot 97’s morning show slot if they fire the current hosts and offer him $5M. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates surrounding this situation.

Emanny From “The Joe Budden Podcast” Responds To KenTheMan Diss Track https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013815-emanny-joe-budden-podcast-kentheman-diss Tue, 20 Oct 2026 13:35:33 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013815 After some choice words for KenTheMan's music on the "Joe Budden Podcast," Emanny found himself subjected to a diss track.

The post Emanny From “The Joe Budden Podcast” Responds To KenTheMan Diss Track appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Emanny from The Joe Budden Podcast has never shied away from saying how he really feels about something. In fact, during recent episodes, the R&B artist has called out Budden and his co-hosts on their hypocrisy.

For instance, during Megan Thee Stallion’s Tina Tuesday Freestyle rollout, Budden and the rest of the hosts were critical of the Texas artist. They said her sound wasn’t evolving, and that the music no longer matches the image.

However, during a segment on KenTheMan, the co-hosts were loving what they heard. Emanny wasn’t buying it, and called his co-workers phony. He clearly was not feeling the song, and didn’t understand why this would be praised over Megan Thee Stallion.

KenTheMan heard Emanny’s criticism and decided to hit him with a diss record. This comes just a few days after the artist dropped her new album, I Love 304s. Throughout the song, KenTheMan takes shots at Emanny’s career accomplishments. She also likens him to a sidekick who follows Joe Budden around for clout.

KenTheMan Takes Shots At Emanny

The diss record has received tepid reactions from fans. Some feel as though it was completely unnecessary. Others just felt as though the bars weren’t good enough and won’t have the intended effect.

Emanny heard the track and gave his response on X. “DAMN Ken!!!! That’s peace tho,” he wrote.

Needless to say, it doesn’t appear as though he is all that worried about the record. Instead, he is letting this just roll off his back. Although we imagine this will be talked about at length on the next Joe Budden Podcast. After all, Joe never misses an opportunity to get involved in the drama of his co-hosts.

Actors, musicians, sports stars, and...a dentist? Here are the romances fans may have forgotten.

The post Halle Berry’s Love Life Through The Decades appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Hollywood has spent decades fascinated by Halle Berry’s romances. The Oscar-winning actress has never been particularly interested in fitting her relationships into anyone else’s expectations. From fellow actors to musicians, her romantic history includes several familiar faces, along with a few rumored connections that have followed her throughout her career. Many of those relationships unfolded largely out of the public eye, while others made headlines.

Now 60, Berry is engaged to Grammy-winning musician Van Hunt, a relationship she’s celebrated publicly after years of navigating love in the industry. However, her perspective on dating hasn’t always been what it is today. In a January 2026 interview with The Times, Berry revealed that she spent four years single and celibate before meeting Hunt, deliberately choosing to reconsider what she wanted from a partner. “I had decided if the right person doesn’t come, I will be alone. And that’s OK,” she explained. Her dating history stretches back well before her Hollywood breakthrough, with relationships spanning more than three decades and including some names that might surprise even longtime fans.

The 1980s: A New Kid On The Block Enters The Picture

Before becoming one of Hollywood’s most recognizable leading ladies, Berry was romantically linked to a member of one of the late-1980s’ biggest boy bands. New Kids on the Block singer Danny Wood reportedly dated the actress in 1989, when the group was enjoying enormous success with Hangin’ Tough. Although their romance was brief, Wood’s bandmates apparently haven’t let him forget it. During a 2013 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Wood acknowledged their past relationship, while his fellow group members enthusiastically confirmed the pairing.

Another early relationship involved Chicago dentist John Ronan, whom Berry dated from 1989 until 1991. Unlike her brief romance with Wood, their relationship would eventually lead to a legal dispute. In November 1993, Ronan sued Berry for $80,000, alleging that he had loaned her money to help establish her acting career. Berry disputed his account, maintaining the money was a gift, not a loan. According to a report by People, a judge dismissed the lawsuit in 1994 because Ronan failed to list Berry as a debtor when he filed for bankruptcy two years earlier. Their disagreement surfaced as Berry’s Hollywood career was gaining momentum, although she had already moved on romantically by the time the case reached court.

The 1990s: Hollywood Heartthrobs & A Secret Romance

As her Hollywood career began taking off, Berry’s romantic life increasingly attracted attention from the entertainment press. She was romantically involved with Wesley Snipes, with whom she appeared in Spike Lee’s 1991 film Jungle Fever. The relationship has since been overshadowed by speculation surrounding Berry’s disclosure that a former boyfriend physically assaulted her, causing permanent hearing damage. R&B singer Christopher Williams later publicly accused Snipes of being responsible, although Berry has never identified her attacker. The allegation remains unverified, and she has not publicly connected Snipes to the assault.

Williams was also part of Berry’s romantic history, with the two dating in the early 1990s while he was enjoying success with his hit “I’m Dreamin’.” Their relationship was relatively brief, but the New Jack Swing singer has spoken about Berry in the years since. During a 2025 appearance on The Breakfast Club, he explained that he had ended their romance because of pressures surrounding his career. He also spoke affectionately of his former girlfriend, calling her “an amazing girl” and saying they had remained friends. Berry was also rumored to have dated Eddie Murphy around the time they starred together in the 1992 romantic comedy Boomerang, although neither has publicly confirmed a relationship.

Her marriage to baseball star David Justice began in 1993 and ended in divorce in 1997. Shortly afterward, Berry began dating actor Shemar Moore, who was gaining recognition for his role on The Young and the Restless. Their romance was largely kept private, something Moore later attributed to the attention surrounding her divorce. Speaking with BET in 2013, he recalled, “She was the first woman to really knock my socks off. I fell hard for Halle.” Moore explained that their similar experiences as biracial actors navigating Hollywood helped bring them together. He described Berry as a “necessary experience” who influenced what he wanted in a future partner. More than two decades later, he reflected on their relationship again, acknowledging that dating Berry and Toni Braxton had initially brought him more public recognition than his acting career.

The 2000s: Michael Ealy, Motherhood, & A Romance With Gabriel Aubry

Romance found its way onto the set of Their Eyes Were Watching God, where Berry met actor Michael Ealy while filming the 2005 television adaptation of Zora Neale Hurston’s novel. The two began dating after working together, with their relationship developing as Berry was moving forward from her troubled marriage to R&B singer Eric Benét. The former couple had separated in 2003, although their divorce wasn’t finalized until January 2005. Berry and Ealy’s romance was relatively brief, but she later acknowledged its impact on her outlook. Reflecting on the breakup in an InStyle interview, she explained, “It wasn’t that I didn’t want to be in a relationship, it’s just that I thought it would be okay to be on my own.” Their separation also preceded one of the most significant relationships of her life.

A Versace photo shoot in 2005 introduced Berry to French-Canadian model Gabriel Aubry. The attraction developed into a relationship, and in March 2008, the couple welcomed their daughter, Nahla. Although they never married, Berry was outspoken about the importance of their commitment. In a 2009 interview with Issue magazine, she described feeling more married to Aubry than she had during her previous marriages, explaining that their relationship meant more to her than a legal document. That same year, Harper’s Bazaar offered a glimpse into their home life as they raised their young daughter together.

Their relationship ended in 2010, with Aubry confirming the separation while expressing continued affection for Berry. He described her as someone who would remain special to him and emphasized their shared responsibility to Nahla. Berry also initially rejected suggestions of hostility between them, telling Vogue that they had resolved their differences before the breakup became public. However, that cooperative relationship would deteriorate as disagreements over custody intensified. By 2011, the former couple was engaged in a legal dispute over Nahla’s care, and the conflict would eventually become intertwined with Berry’s next serious relationship. Their custody disagreements continued after she began dating French actor Olivier Martinez, setting the stage for another highly publicized period in her personal life.

The 2010s: A Third Marriage & A Short-Lived Romance

The custody dispute with Gabriel Aubry became increasingly complicated after Berry began dating French actor Olivier Martinez in 2010. The two met while filming Dark Tide in South Africa and went public with their romance that October. Their relationship soon became entangled in Berry’s efforts to relocate to France with her daughter, Nahla, a move Aubry opposed. Tensions escalated in November 2012 when Martinez and Aubry were involved in a physical altercation at Berry’s home. Despite the turmoil, Berry and Martinez married in July 2013 and welcomed their son, Maceo, three months later. The marriage lasted just over two years before they announced their separation in 2015, with their remaining divorce-related matters eventually settled in 2023.

Following that separation, Berry returned to the dating scene with British music producer Alex Da Kid, whose real name is Alexander Grant. Known for his work with Eminem and Rihanna, Grant was 16 years younger than Berry when they confirmed their relationship in September 2017. The actress shared a black-and-white photograph of the two embracing on Instagram, accompanied by the caption “My balance.” They were also photographed together in London, making the romance one of Berry’s more public relationships since her split from Martinez.

The relationship didn’t last long. By December, reports confirmed that Berry and Grant had separated after approximately five months together. Around the same time, she shared an Instagram Story featuring a photograph of a rope arranged in the shape of a heart, captioned “Done with love.” The post fueled speculation about her feelings following the breakup, although Berry didn’t publicly elaborate on what had gone wrong. It would be several years before she introduced another romantic partner to the public, eventually revealing a relationship that had begun under considerably different circumstances.

The 2020s: Van Hunt & A Romance Worth Waiting For

An unexpected introduction during the COVID-19 pandemic brought musician Van Hunt into Berry’s life in 2020. The two were connected through Hunt’s brother, who had known the actress for years, but their relationship developed without the usual first dates. Instead, they spent approximately six months communicating through phone calls and text messages before meeting face-to-face. In a 2024 interview with Marie Claire, Berry explained that the unusual circumstances allowed them to establish an emotional connection before becoming physically involved. “It was the first time I was madly in love before I had sex. That has never happened to me, ever,” she revealed. The actress confirmed their relationship publicly in September 2020, sharing an Instagram photograph wearing a shirt bearing Hunt’s name.

Their romance soon became a regular presence on social media, where the couple openly celebrated each other. Hunt, a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, also contributed music to Berry’s directorial debut, Bruised, while the pair made their red carpet debut at the 2021 Academy Awards. Yet, Berry has emphasized that their connection developed during a period when she was deliberately reconsidering her approach to dating. Speaking with Marie Claire, she recalled becoming more purposeful about what she wanted from a partner before Hunt entered her life. “I had never been that intentional with my relationships,” she admitted, explaining that she began identifying the qualities she considered essential rather than entering another romance without those expectations firmly established.

Marriage eventually became part of their discussions. Hunt revealed in June 2025 that he had proposed, although Berry initially maintained that they didn’t need a wedding to validate their commitment. The uncertainty prompted speculation that she had rejected his proposal, which she addressed during a February 2026 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “I did not say no. We just don’t have a date,” she clarified while confirming their engagement.

Their relationship has also remained a source of public support during a difficult period in Berry’s family life. On October 19, 2026, Hunt accompanied her to a Los Angeles custody hearing involving her former husband, Martinez, and their son, Maceo. While her past relationships continue to attract attention, Berry has been clear about what makes her connection with Hunt different. After spending years reconsidering what she wanted from a partner, she has described finding a relationship built on the compatibility she once struggled to identify. Their wedding date remains undecided, but Berry no longer appears to measure the success of her romantic life by whether a relationship leads to marriage. As she told Today in 2025, “We don’t feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way.”

Blueface Arrested For Allegedly Interfering With Police During Swatting Call, Chrisean Rock Left In Tears https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013803-blueface-arrested-police-swatting-chrisean-rock-cries Tue, 20 Oct 2026 11:54:37 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013803 Blueface was streaming when he got hit with yet another streaming call, although this time, things went left and he was arrested.

Blueface was arrested during a livestream on Monday night after yet another swatting call to his location. Typically, these calls end with the police walking away after realizing nothing nefarious is taking place. However, according to TMZ, the rapper was arrested after allegedly trying to interfere with the police’s investigation.

The artist and his fiancée Chrisean Rock were streaming outside in Santa Clarita when police arrived with their guns drawn. This entire exchange was being livestreamed on Kick, and for frequent viewers of Blueface, this is a scene they know all too well.

A representative for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office claims Blueface refused to follow orders, which is why he was eventually arrested. As TMZ explains, police eventually conducted their investigation and confirmed that there was no threat to public safety.

In a clip from the livestream, Chrisean Rock could be seen crying following Blue’s arrest. Given his situation, she understands how serious this is.

Blueface Arrested While On Probation

The rapper is currently on probation stemming from a shooting in Las Vegas in 2022. At this time, it is unclear what Blueface’s status is pertaining to the arrest, and whether official charges are going to be filed.

All of this comes amid a turbulent few months for Blueface. He has become one of the biggest creators on Kick, raking in over $120K every single week. Moreover, he has gotten engaged to Chrisean Rock after years of dysfunction.

These swatting incidents have proven to be a nuisance for the artist, and one has to wonder how he will try to maneuver these in the future. His recent arrest just proves that swatting culture has gone too far.

Drake “Janice STFU” Lawsuit: Songwriter’s Original Demo Officially Released Online https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013800-drake-janice-stfu-lawsuit-demo-releases Tue, 20 Oct 2026 11:25:55 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013800 Avi Hirschfield is suing Drake over uncredited work on the hook to "Janice STFU," and now, the songwriter has delivered his demo.

The post Drake “Janice STFU” Lawsuit: Songwriter’s Original Demo Officially Released Online appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Late last week, we reported on a lawsuit involving Drake and his number-one smash, “Janice STFU.” Songwriter Avi Hirschfield claims he wrote the song’s hook and that the Canadian megastar allegedly stole it after receiving the demo.

As the story goes, Hirschfield found an FnZ beat. FnZ is the producer duo behind “Janice STFU,” and back in January of 2026, all they had was the melody without any drums. Hirschfield then recorded an entire song along to the instrumental. Once he sent it back to FnZ, the duo allegedly sent it to Drake, who then took the hook and used it for his song. While FnZ are credited as songwriters on the track, Hirschfield isn’t, and that’s the crux of his legal complaint.

“The immense success of Janice STFU is due principally to the song’s chorus, which is a literal, word-for-word, note-for-note taking,” Hirschfield’s lawsuit explained.

Drake and his team are remaining adamant that none of this is true. A rep for the superstar rapper is even claiming that Drake doesn’t know who Hirschfield is. “Drake wrote this song and has no connection or knowledge of this person, full stop,” Drake’s representative alleged.

According to new reporting from Complex, Hirschfield’s original demo has been released as part of evidence from the lawsuit. You can hear the chorus at the 45-second mark of the video below.

Avi Hirschfield Releases Evidence Against Drake

“Janice STFU” was immediately the big hit from ICEMAN back in May of 2026. With ICEMAN going number one on the Billboard 200, “Janice STFU” found its way to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Much of this has to do with just how sticky and catchy that chorus is.

At this time, the case is being fought in the court of public opinion. Stans are going to call the above evidence AI. Others are going to say this is a slam dunk case for Hirschfield.

Ultimately, that is up for the courts to decide. At this time, all claims made against Drake are allegations.

JÄY-Z Has Reportedly Chosen Himself For The Super Bowl Halftime Show https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013797-jay-z-super-bowl-half-time-show Tue, 20 Oct 2026 11:10:23 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013797 JÄY-Z has been embroiled in Super Bowl Halftime Show rumors, and now, those rumors are all but confirmed by sources.

The post JÄY-Z Has Reportedly Chosen Himself For The Super Bowl Halftime Show appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
One of the worst-kept secrets in the sports and entertainment industry has been the allegation that JÄY-Z is going to be the Super Bowl Halftime Show performer in 2027. There have been rumblings that Hov and Roc Nation have struggled to find someone to do it. Consequently, JÄY himself has allegedly mused about taking charge and making his comeback complete.

Well, in the early hours of Tuesday morning on October 20, Puck News released a report stating that JÄY-Z is, in fact, going to be the Halftime Show performer. This is according to multiple sources close to the situation.

This isn’t for lack of trying to find someone else. The report claims Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus were also asked about potentially performing. However, those two artists turned the offer down.

JÄY-Z Gets His Moment

It is a report that comes amid JÄY-Z’s epic comeback year. He has been celebrating the 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt, as well as the 25th anniversary of The Blueprint. This has led to shows at Yankee Stadium in New York City, France, London, and this weekend, Los Angeles.

Ironically enough, JÄY-Z will be performing at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on October 23 and 24. Super Bowl LXI will also be played at SoFi Stadium, albeit on February 14, 2027. It is still too early in the NFL season to determine who will be playing in that game.

Reps for the NFL, JÄY-Z, and Roc Nation have not confirmed or denied Puck News’ report at this time. However, we are getting to the point in the season when the Super Bowl Halftime Show performer is announced.

With Hov performing in Los Angeles this weekend, perhaps an official announcement could be coming sooner rather than later.
