If you remember way back in October of 2014 video surfaced of Maino spraying porn star Mellanie Monroe with champagne. Monroe claimed that Maino hit her over the head with the champagne bottle and said that he kicked her while they were in his car. This of course lead to charges against Maino that have now been dropped with the judge saying that there was no way Maino could of kicked Monroe with the layout of the car being the way that it is. Mainos attorney commented saying “False allegations of abuse and assault diminish the severity of such crimes real victims face and increase the fear that they will not be believed should they come forward against their assailants.”

As everyone one just recently found out Chris Brown has a 9 month old baby girl with a former model named Nia Guzman. TMZ has found out some more information recently like the fact that Chris Brown found out about the child a month ago but planned to pay a substantial amount of child support if Nia stayed quiet about it. But that didn’t happen and now Brown is looking from a quote from a judge which most likely will be a lot less then what he was paying unofficially. Though it will be less money we are sure Chris Brown will make sure his daughter is more than well taken care of.

Iggy Azalea has not been having the best time on social media lately. She recently quit twitter because of all the hate she was receiving on the site but now she has decided to quit using Instagram too. “I don’t care about being relevant. I just want to live my life and deserve for whatever I do in the privacy of my own property not to be on a blog. That’s just human decency and if it’s hard for you to understand then you have a warped sense of reality. I’m not here for yall, don’t want or need you to talk about me and would be wildly happy if being irrelevant meant being able to check the mail in the morning without seeing a photographer hiding out in a car across the street. Peace!” Iggy said in a statement to her fans. Though she is done with social media for now Iggy is hard at work on her next album.

Rapper Charles Hamilton as most know took a bit of a step back from hip-hop for the last few years. This step back happened after her was dropped from Interscope back in 2010. In his first interview since 2012 Hamilton has opened up speaking to Billboard talking about the rough time he was having away from the music. Charles Hamilton even said he “wanted to commit career suicide, physical suicide, spiritual suicide.” At only 27 years old Hamilton said he was suffering with an undiagnosed bipolar disorder. “I just didn’t trust anybody. I didn’t leave my house, I just made music all the time. I was fighting depression — I shut myself in.” Hamilton added but he received a lot of support getting him back on track with the music and already he has shared two previously unreleased albums and has signed with Republic Records. Hopefully Charles keeps up this momentum and creates more great music for his ever growing fan base that has been with him since day one.

Last October Juvenile returned to Cash Money by signing a deal with them but just a few months later Lil Wayne and Birdman started to see turmoil in their relationship. Now Wayne is suing Birdman and a clean resolution doesn’t seem anywhere near. This of course means a lot of artist are caught up in the middle of this so when Hot New Hip Hop sat down the long-time member of Cash Money, Juvenile, they had to get his thoughts on the situation. When asked if the situation between Wayne and Birdman was hurting him in anyway he said “Is the relationship hurting me with what’s going on between Wayne and Baby? A little bit in the sense of I wish it wasn’t happening, I wish this wasn’t going on, that’s what really hurts me.” Juvenile continued “But yeah, me being back with Cash Money one of the things was to work with Drake, Nicki Minaj and people like that, who wouldn’t wanna be able to do that? And there’s really no bad blood me with no side. I really feel like when it’s family you stay outta it. I think it’s something they gotta resolve. As far as the business, as far as me, with Cash Money, I feel it’s great though.” So it sounds like most artist caught in between just want things resolved peacefully so everyone can get back to work as usual.
