I think they do, but it may be only in the '-ll' form. But you must supply a concrete example if you wish to have a considered answer to your question.

The Hollywoods Girlit seems like they say "I never be there"

They're saying I'll instead of I will. It's easy to miss if you haven't practiced listening for it. It's useful to learn the conjugation of pronoun-auxiliary contractions.

.. [1] ............... [2] .............[3] ............. [4]
he's .............. he'll ........... he's ......... he'd
I'm ................ I'll .............. I've .......... I'd
we're ............ we'll .......... we've ....... we'd
you're ........... you'll ......... you've ...... you'd
they're .......... they'll ........ they've ..... they'd

Use [1] with the -ing form to make the present continuous tense (is, are, am).
Use [1] with the -en form (past participle) to make the passive voice (present tense) (is, are, am).
Use [2] with the plain form to make the future of the present (will).
Use [3] with the -en form to make the present perfect tense (has, have).
Use [4] with the -en form to make the past perfect tense (had).
Use [4] with the plain form to make the future of the past (would).

The Hollywoods Girli can say "I'll never be there" missing will?And other people gonna understand me?

If you try to do that, they will certainly recognize that you are a non-native speake, that is all—and then they will probably interpret your meaning correctly.
