#HipHopNews: Ice Spice Responds To Former Friend's Rant About Being 'mistreated' On Tour

Ice Spice has hit back after being aired out by a former friend in an explosive rant.
The drama began on Monday (August 2) when rapper Cleotrapa alleged that the “Munch” hitmaker had “mistreated” her on her Y2K! Tour, leading to them falling out.
Cleotrapa posted a five-part TikTok video series in which she claimed that Ice had invited her to open for her on the road and reassured her that they would share rooms and that she would be looked after.

However, things apparently started to go south when Cleo was allegedly neglected by Ice’s security and left to carry her own bags, while also being denied other amenities that were given to the Bronx rap star.

Cleo said she eventually confronted Ice about her luggage grievances, after which point she was further ostracized from the Y2K! rapper, including being denied access to Ice’s dressing room and told to change in a bathroom.
Cleo further claimed that the tour production team told her that she wasn’t in the budget and refused to pay for a chicken salad.
“This girl was really mad at me for saying something about that luggage,” she added. “She don’t want nobody to say nothing to her. She tried to lowkey torture me.”

The New Yorker suspects that she was asked to join Ice Spice on tour simply to “clean up” the rapper’s image following her previous spat with former friend Baby Storme.
In a separate post on X (formerly Twitter), Cleo claimed that she was not paid for performing on the tour, adding: “I was played, betrayed & unpaid.”

After Cleotrapa’s lengthy rant went viral, Ice Spice hopped on X Spaces to address the allegations.
“Crashing out is sad, you guys,” she said. “The scary part of fame, honestly, is the moment that somebody feels like they can no longer use your platform or they’re not getting exactly what they want out of a situation the way that they want it. That’s when they decide to crash out every single time. I’m noticing a pattern.

“This shit is sad because I genuinely was trying to help her […] What had actually happened is that we added another tour bus so I was like, ‘Now we have extra room, we have extra bunks.’ So I was like, ‘Oh, let me see if Cleo wants to come so she can do her songs.’ But that’s what the fuck I get for trying to be a good person.”
The 24-year-old also accused Cleo of deliberately omitting “so many” positive details about her tour experience, including them having fun together at an amusement park.

“For you to try to sit here and complain about a chicken salad? You never came to me talking about a chicken salad! What are you really talking about right now?!” she continued.
“You got less than 10,000 listeners and I’m sharing my stage with you, and you feeling so entitled, like you thinking that my peoples that are working for me are supposed to work for you too? That’s so crazy to me.”


Trump Campaign Ordered To Stop Using 'Hold On, I'm Coming' After Lawsuit From Isaac Hayes Estate
On Tuesday, September 3, U.S. District Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. issued a preliminary injunction ordering Donald Trump and his campaign to cease using the song "Hold On, I'm Coming" without a proper license. The injunction stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the estate of Isaac Hayes, who co-wrote the hit song with David Porter and died in 2008.

The lawsuit alleged that Trump's campaign had used the song without authorization at numerous rallies and events since 2020. The Hayes estate claimed that Universal Music Group and Warner Chappell Music, the song's publishers, had sent a cease-and-desist letter to Trump's campaign in 2020, but the use continued.

Judge Thrash's injunction prevents Trump from playing "Hold On, I'm Coming" at future events, but he declined to order the campaign to remove any existing videos that include the song. Ronald Coleman, an attorney for the Trump campaign, stated that they had already agreed to stop using the song and welcomed the court's recognition of First Amendment issues.

James Walker, an attorney for the Hayes estate, expressed satisfaction with the ruling, noting that it barred Trump from using Isaac Hayes' music in the future. Walker added that the case would continue to trial, where the estate intended to prove that Trump lacked a proper license to use the song.

The injunction is a significant victory for the Hayes estate and other artists who have objected to Trump's use of their music without permission. Many artists have faced challenges in preventing campaigns from playing their songs at rallies due to broad political use licenses obtained by campaigns from publishers and rights management companies.


Lady Gaga Confirms October Release For First Single From New Album 'LG7'

Lady GaGa has a packed schedule ahead of her. In addition to preparing for the premiere of her film "Joker: Folie a Deux", she is also working on her highly anticipated seventh studio album and gearing up to release her new single.
In a recent Instagram post, Gaga revealed her itinerary for the next month, which included premieres and press junkets for "Joker: Folie a Deux". At the bottom of the post, she teased the release of her new album's first single, stating, "XX October: LG7 first single."

Lady GaGa reveals her schedule for next month

This news comes after a series of teases from Gaga about her new album. At the end of her concert film Gaga Chromatica Ball released in May this year, she revealed the existence of the new record with the words "LG7 GAGA RETURNS" flashing on the screen. She also played two short snippets of new songs from the album for fans outside of her hotel following her performance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

While fans anxiously await the release of "LG7", Gaga recently released "Die With a Smile," a romantic collaboration with Bruno Mars. The song debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking her highest charting track since her 2020 Ariana Grande team-up "Rain on Me." However, the Bruno Mars duet won't be included in her next studio installment.

Gaga is expected to kick-start her new musical era after the release of "Joker: Folie a Deux", which premieres on October 4. While an official release date for the first single from "LG7" has not yet been announced, it is expected to arrive sometime after that date.


Elton John, 77, reveals he's partially blind after 'severe eye infection'
Elton John, 77, revealed on social media that he has been grappling with an eye infection that has impacted his vision.
“Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,” the EGOT winner shared in a statement on Instagram. “I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.”

Over the past several years, the “Benny and the Jets” singer has experienced some trouble with his health.
Last year, John slipped at his villa at Nice, France and visited a local hospital as a precaution but was able to recover at home and was “in good health,” according to TODAY.com reporting.

In 2022, fans became worried when tabloids reported that the “Rocket Man” star was using wheelchair. He responded on Instagram to explain why he needed a wheelchair during his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour, which ended in July 2023.
“After another rousing 2.5 hour show, we arrived at Leipzig airport, just before curfew to find part of the airport had closed,” he said at the time. “It was an extremely long walk to get to the plane, so my team kindly laid on a wheelchair so I could rest my hip after the show. That’s all folks.”

John had undergone hip surgery after he “fell awkwardly on a hard surface,” in September 2021. After that procedure, he postponed some of his farewell tour dates.

He also delayed his tour after contracting COVID-19 in January 2022. The Associated Press reported at that time that John experienced “mild symptoms” during his infection and had been vaccinated and boosted.
For this recent eye infection, John says that he spent much of his summer “recuperating at home,” and feels grateful for the “excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family.” He says he's optimistic about his future health.

“(I) am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far."


'Very demure' TikTok creator still has a chance to trademark her phrase, says expert
The internet was up in arms after learning that TikTok influencer Jools Lebron now-viral ‘very demure, very mindful’ phrase was copyrighted by a Washington-state man. 
"I just invested so much time and money into this, and I feel like I did it wrong and didn't try hard enough," said LeBron in a tearful TikTok video last week. 

But experts say it's not over yet for Lebron. 
"Nothing has been trademarked yet," said Northeastern Law Professor Alexandra Roberts in an interview with FOX 5's Katie Barlow. "All that happened is a couple of different people applied to register phrases related to her viral videos as trademarks, but there's a lot left to happen in the United States Patent and Trademark Office before that actually turns into a registration."

Roberts says that the USPTO could reject the other applications or Lebron can oppose them and argue they should not be able to register the trademark. 
There are also rules in place around the intent to use the trademark. 

"In the United States, trademark rights are really based on use in commerce in connection with specific goods or services. There's a strategy where you can file based on an intent to use something as a trademark in the future, and that will kind of hold your place in line, and then you get a couple of years to start making the use. But again, you'd need the use for the registration. So if these folks don't actually start selling something or providing some service using the mark, you know, ‘very demure, very mindful or very cutesy’ or whatever it is that they applied to register, they will never actually get those rights," said Roberts. 

But while Lebron still could trademark her "very demure" phrase, Roberts says in a viral moment it makes sense to move quickly if you want to capitalize on it. 

"Once you have the trademark and the specific plan to use it, and you know what it is that you want to sell, what the goods and services are, you can go ahead and file the application. You don't need a lawyer to do that. And it only costs $250 per class, so kind of the category of goods or services. And that again will kind of hold your place in line so that once you're ready to start making use,you can access and get those, those trademark rights," said Roberts. 


Elle Macpherson Reveals She Was Diagnosed with Breast Cancer 7 Years Ago, Refused Chemotherapy

Elle Macpherson is opening up about a secret health battle.
In a new interview with Australia’s Women’s Weekly magazine published on Monday (September 2), the 60-year-old Australian supermodel revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer after undergoing a lumpectomy seven years ago.

Elle said that at the time, she was advised to undergo a mastectomy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and breast reconstruction surgery, but instead decided to treat her cancer without traditional message.
Instead, Elle decided on an “an intuitive, heart-led, holistic approach” to treatment after praying and meditating on a beach in Miami.

“It was a shock, it was unexpected, it was confusing, it was daunting in
 so many ways.And it really gave me an opportunity to dig deep in my inner sense to find a solution that worked for me,” Elle explained. “I realized I was going to need my own truth, my belief system to support me through it. And that’s what I did. So, it was a wonderful exercise in being true to myself, trusting myself and trusting the nature of my body and the course of action that I had chosen.”

Then in her upcoming memoir Elle, the model went into further detail about her decision to treat her cancer with a holistic approach.
“Saying no to standard medical solutions was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. But saying no to my own inner sense would have been even harder,” Elle wrote, according to an excerpt published by Women’s Weekly.

“Sometimes an authentic choice from the heart makes no sense to others … but it doesn’t have to,” she added. “People thought
I was crazy but I knew I had to make
a choice that truly resonated with
me. To me, that meant addressing emotional as well as physical factors associated with breast cancer. It was time for deep, inner reflection. And that took courage.”

Elle went on to say that her two sons, Flynn, 26, and Cy, 21, along with their father, her ex partner Arpad Busson all had mixed reactions to her using a holistic approach to treat her cancer.
“Cy simply thought that chemo kills you. And so he never wanted me to do it because he thought that was a kiss of death,” Elle wrote. “Flynn, being more conventional, wasn’t comfortable with my choice at all.”

While Arpad “didn’t agree with what I was doing,” he supported her decision. “He wrote to me to tell me how proud he was of the courage I was showing,” Elle wrote.

Now seven years later after her initial diagnosis, Elle said that she is cancer-free.
“In traditional terms, they’d say I’m in clinical remission, but I would say I’m in utter wellness,” Elle said. “And I am.”
In an interview from last year, Elle shared her true feelings about modeling.
Elle will be releasing Elle: Life, Lessons, and Learning to Trust Yourself on Nov. 19. You can pre-order the memoir at PenguinRandomHouse.com.


Michael Keaton & Winona Ryder Help Honor Tim Burton With Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame
Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder join Tim Burton at this Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony held on Tuesday (September 3) in Hollywood.
The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice stars helped honor their director with a star on the Walk of Fame.

During the ceremony, Michael gushed about Tim casting him as Batman.

“He hands me a script and goes, ‘Tell me what you think,’” he said, via Variety. “This is after Beetlejuice. After that performance. After that type of movie. He says to the studio, ‘I want that guy.’ I’ll never understand this why anyone cared. The uproar…you would’ve thought we were being invaded. It was unbelievable. The press was going crazy. But he stood by me. The guts it took to stand by that decision will always be appreciated by me.”

“What that [movie] spawned…there are a lot of people making a lot of money out there with their superhero movies because of his choice and his vision of what those movies could be, because he changed everything,” Michael added.

Jada Pinkett Smith Goes Private on Instagram After Posting That ‘a Woman Is Told She Must Belong to Someone’

Jada Pinkett Smith has set her Instagram account to private.
The 52-year-old actress decided over the holiday weekend to remove public access to her Instagram profile.

Her decision follows her Monday, Sept. 2 post that included a photo of text that read: “A man can CHOOSE to belong to someone. And if he does… he is considered noble. A woman is told she MUST belong to someone or … she is not worthy.”
The post's caption read: "Even in some of our great religious traditions the goddess is rendered powerless without her male counterpart. And in others, the spiritual influence of the feminine, of Mother ... is not even recognized."

"We mere mortal women are worthy simply because we exist! And those of us who have cultivated our Queendom within our inner kingdom and have a deep relationship with the Great Supreme ... If we so CHOOSE to bond with someone from this space ... we will erect monumental love and give birth to treasures," continued the caption. "We need not bond in fear. You ... are ... greatness.❣️Walk with that this here Monday🫂♥️✨."

“Summer is coming to an end and my heart has been blooming in so many ways. Can’t wait to share. Till then…I’m just embracing the last of the summer vibez,” she captioned the post.

However, fans and followers asked who the unidentified man was, with some even joking that it was Will Smith.
Pinkett Smith's recent Instagram activity comes nearly a year after she opened up to PEOPLE about her relationship with the Bad Boys: Ride or Die star. “I’m going to be by his side,” she said of their relationship amid the release of her memoir Worthy last fall.

“We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together," she added. "We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”


Cardi B and Offset Reunite For Son Wave’s Airplane-Themed 3rd Birthday Party
Cardi B and Offset brought the family together over the weekend to celebrate youngest son Wave’s third birthday. According to reposts of Cardi’s Instagram Story of the event, the two MC’s — who are estranged after Cardi filed for divorce against the Migos rapper last month — went all out for the “last-minute” party that E!

Cam’Ron Says Denzel Washington Starring In ‘The Equalizer’ At His Age Is No Longer Believable: ‘I’m Not Watching You Do Karate At 71-Years-Old’

Hip-hop veteran Cam’Ron thinks Hollywood has a serious problem. The rapper recently explained why he feels the movie capital is currently void of creativity, specifically taking issue with older actors like Denzel Washington being portrayed unrealistically.
During an episode of his podcast Come And Talk 2 Me with his fellow rapper Mase, Cam’Ron expressed his concerns that the same ideas keep circulating throughout Hollywood, stating:

“They keep doing the Smurfs, they on a new Ghost Busters…this the 7th Superman since I been alive…it’s like when its [something] gone be new.”
Going on, Cam’Ron declared his refusal to watch any more Rambo or The Equalizer movies – the latter of which stars Denzel Washington, adding:

“I love Denzel Washington as a actor, I’m not watching him doing karate at 71-years-old..I love him as a great actor but when n***as start doing karate in they 70’s, I can’t believe the movie…I can’t f**k with Denzel being the Equalizer at 70.”
In case you’re unfamiliar, the original Equalizer film starring Denzel Washington, 69, and directed by Antoine Fuqua hit theaters back in 2014. The movie sees Washington take on the persona of an ex-Marine and CIA officer who reluctantly returns to action to protect a teenage trafficking victim fleeing from the Russian mafia.

Despite mixed reviews from critics, the movie was a box office success and earned over $192 million on a budget of $55 – $73 million. Talks of a second film began as production was wrapping up the first movie and it wasn’t long before the standalone spurred into a trilogy, with The Equalizer 2 being released in 2018 and The Equalizer 3 in September of last year.

Earlier this year Washington, who has already hinted at retiring from his on-screen duties soon, stated that it’s “highly unlikely” that there will be any more movie additions to the franchise. He noted that his character’s story had come to an end. The story was also reimagined in TV form with Queen Latifah this time starring as the equalizer character. The show is currently airing its 4th season on Paramount +, with a 5th in the works.


Miami Rapper Trina Will Soon Unveil Her Life Story in a New Autobiography
As hip-hop autobiographies continue to be prevalent musical artifacts, rapper Trina is gearing up to unveil hers. 
The “Diamond Princess” will unveil “Da Baddest” on October 8th through Simon & Schuster.  Co-written by prolific writer Sesali Bowen, this highly anticipated book promises to be as bold, unfiltered, and captivating as Trina’s 20+ year career.  Her unapologetic lyrics in timeless hits such as “Da Baddiest B***h” and “Pull Over” have inspired fans and female hip-hop artists, especially those in the South.  As readers eagerly anticipate the release of her life story, there are several key points we hope Trina touches on in her book.

The life of her mother, Vernessa Taylor
Trina has been vocal about the role her mother, Vernessa Taylor played in her life and hustler mentality.  Before her tragic passing in 2019 from cancer, she was involved in real estate, which Trina learned from her at an early age. 

The challenges of being the only woman signed to Slip-N-Slide Records
Trina’s impact on the Southern rap scene cannot be overstated.  In her early career, she was signed to Trick Daddy’s Slip-N-Slide imprint, leading to several timeless collaborations between the two. Getting Trina’s insight on being the only woman on a male-dominated label will surely be a key element of “Da Baddest.”

Career struggles
While Trina has spoken chiefly highly of her career, behind the glitz and glamor, every female artist has faced challenges in the industry.  Trina is notably one of the most adored among her peers.  Therefore, it’ll be interesting to learn about the most complex times she endured as an artist, precisely the time between her 2010 studio album “Amazin'” and her 2019 project, “The One,” which was marked by conflict. 

Relationship insight
Trina has found herself in high-profile relationships with several famous figures, including professional basketball player Kenyon Martin and rappers Lil Wayne and French Montana.  Even after the breakups, Trina has kept many critical elements of those splits private, speaking mostly positively of her exes.  Now married, it’ll be fascinating to see if she takes a trip down memory lane. 

Trina’s autobiography promises to be a compelling read, offering a candid look at the life of a woman who has defied the odds to become a rap legend, selling millions of albums worldwide.

Serena Williams' new look at the US Open shocks fans with its strong resemblance... to her mother Oracene!
Serena Williams, known for her legendary tennis career and bold fashion statements, made a memorable return to the U.S. Open on Saturday, this time as a spectator.
Her appearance in the stands quickly became a talking point, as fans couldn't help but notice her striking resemblance to her mother, Oracene Price.

Serena Williams has always seen fashion as an integral part of her identity. "Ever since I was a little girl, I've used fashion as an outlet to express myself," she once said.
This sentiment was evident as she sat in Arthur Ashe Stadium, watching world No. 1 Jannik Sinner take on Chris O'Connell in the third round. But while the match was thrilling, it was Serena's outfit that caught everyone's attention.
Dressed in a denim skirt reminiscent of her 2004 U.S. Open look and a crisp white shirt, Serena's style echoed that of her mother, Oracene Price.

Her blonde curly hair and golden-framed sunglasses added to the resemblance, reminding fans of Oracene's iconic look-short blonde curls and stylish glasses-which she often sported while supporting Serena from the stands.
Social media quickly buzzed with fans pointing out the uncanny similarities between Serena and her mother.

One fan perfectly captured the sentiment, saying, "She get it from her mama," acknowledging the influence Oracene has had on Serena's style.
Another fan humorously noted, "Serena looks like Oracene but actually awake in the stands," referring to a famous moment when Oracene was seen dozing during one of Serena's matches.

The connection between Serena and Oracene extends beyond fashion. Serena has often spoken about how her mother inspired her love for beauty and fashion.
"My earliest beauty memory has to do with my mom. She wore red lipstick back then and still does now," Serena once recalled.
This influence led Serena to launch her own clothing brand, 'Serena,' in 2018, further solidifying her place in the fashion world.
