Gillie Da Kid Calls Out Kendrick Lamar & J Cole For “Corny” Diss Tracks

It’s no secret that Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” verse brought about a great deal of drama, but according to Gillie Da Kid, he hardly scratched the surface. When the song first dropped last month, listeners were quick to note that the Compton-born performer took shots and Drake and J Cole, and were eager to hear how they’d respond. Weeks later, J Cole fired back with a diss track on his surprise album Might Delete Later, “7 Minute Drill.” Ultimately, however, he apologized and removed the song from streaming services. Last week, Drake’s response “Push Ups” leaked, reigniting all the chatter around the feud.

During a recent episode of Shaq’s The Big Podcast, Gillie Da Kid weighed in on the debacle, arguing that Kendrick’s verse wasn’t all that wild. Moreover, he doesn’t even believe it should be considered a diss track at all. He says that in his day, Kendrick’s infamous “big three” line would be deemed “corny” at best.

Gillie Thinks Kendrick & J Cole Were Too “Friendly” In Their Diss Tracks

“Let’s just be honest, bro, that’s not no diss record,” he began. “If that’s a diss record, that’s corny sh*t. The last time I checked, diss records went like this: ‘First off, f*ck your b*tch and the clique you claim….’” Gillie went on to quote other iconic diss tracks, emphasizing how their lyrics were far harsher than both Kendrick and Cole’s. “What is we talking about man? Diss records used to be like, “F*ck you, buddy….’ We’re living in a friendly culture, man.”

While plenty of commenters agree with Gillie’s take, others much prefer this version of rap beef, as it’s less likely to lead to violence. What do you think of Gillie Da Kid’s take on Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole’s diss tracks? Do you agree that they were corny?

Diddy’s Ex Daphne Joy Poses For Bikini Photoshoot Amid Lawsuit Allegations

It’s been a turbulent time recently for both legendary rap mogul Diddy and almost everyone else in his orbit. That included Daphne Joy, who was named in a lawsuit that also discussed Meek Mill, Yung Miami, and more. Joy in particular was accused of essentially being a sex worker for Combs. Those allegations got far more serious when it was revealed that he was under investigation by the federal government for allegations of sex trafficking. Two of his properties were raided and his private jet was intercepted last month.

But Daphne Joy isn’t letting the allegations against Diddy or herself slow her down. Earlier this week she was in Los Angeles showing quite a bit of skin for a photo shoot. She was spotted with a black bikini paired with a black maxi skirt. Unsurprisingly the skirt doesn’t do a particularly good job of covering up much of anything. We’re not permitted to post the images directly on HotNewHipHop, but if you’d like to see them, you can do so by clicking the Via link below.

Daphne Joy Continues Modeling Despite Diddy Allegations

After Joy was named in Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Diddy, 50 Cent unsurprisingly had a lot to say. 50 has been posting about the rap mogul almost every day dating all the way back to Cassie’s first lawsuit filed against him in November. He continued berating her for weeks even into April as he was still posting about her earlier this month.

Some fans online and even some members of the rap media space have started to believe the Lil Rod lawsuit may not be true. The more additions he made the more bizarre claims emerged, many of which were completely unnecessary to prove the accusations he leveled against Diddy. What do you think of Daphne Joy sporting a thin black bikini for a recent photoshoot? Do you think the allegations made against her in the lawsuit against Diddy are true? Let us know in the comment section below.

Donald Trump Jr Speaks To DJ Akademiks About Diddy Case & Kim Porter’s Proximity

DJ Akademiks recently engaged in one of his most bizarre interviews yet: a cigar-smoking sit-down with none other than Donald Trump… Jr. Moreover, while they discussed a lot of topics, one of the most notable moments was when they discussed the current wave of sex crime accusations against Diddy, which also involved a federal raid. Trump Jr. compared the excessive force allegedly displayed by law enforcement and their weaponry to what they displayed to his father when they raided his Mar-A-Lago property. In both cases, he claimed, police were well-aware that the subjects were open to the raid, but still overestimated their resources to intimidate them.

In addition, Donald Trump Jr. told DJ Akademiks about claims that he heard through an ex-partner about how the late Kim Porter was afraid of Diddy during their relationship. Apparently, the ex-partner was a model in New York and a close friend of Porter’s, and someone who alleged that she heard of their supposedly abusive dynamic first-hand. While the two men didn’t get into many details about all this, and the businessman said he didn’t want to spread rumors, they still went along with this narrative as you can see in the clips below.

DJ Akademiks & Donald Trump Jr. Speak On Diddy Case

While the media personality is busy with a lot to cover in the hip-hop world right now, this Diddy case has been a big part of his social media presence as of late, although the same goes for most hip-hop media these days. However, in his case, a lot of it’s been aimed at his past rivals. For example, DJ Akademiks berated Yung Miami for her alleged involvement in the Puffy lawsuits. They previously clashed online over jokes made at each other’s expense, a spat that roped in a lot of other rap industry figures, too.

As to the case building against the Bad Boy mogul, some continue to argue for his innocence, or at least, for much less unforgiving scrutiny at the moment. What do you think about this discussion with Donald Trump Jr. and his claims about the late Kim Porter? However you may feel, let us know in the comments section down below.

Cardi B Fans Need To “Gear Up” For What She Has Coming Next

Cardi B isn’t your average 31-year-old. For starters, the New York native turned her career as a stripper into one as a Grammy Award-winning rap diva. Her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, beat Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD at the ceremony in 2019, but she’s failed to give us a sophomore effort since. Hip-hop heads are eager to hear what Cardi’s been working so hard on over the past few years, especially knowing how many ups and downs she and her husband Offset have faced since then. The pair’s drama largely inspired her 2018 LP, and neither she nor the Migos alum seems opposed to turning their pain into art.

The latest releases to come from the Hustlers actress include her “Punteria” collaboration with Shakira as well as “Enough (Miami)” and “Like What (Freestyle).” In 2023, we heard from Cardi on “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion and as a feature on her man’s “JEALOUSY” single. Now, it looks like more could be coming from the black-haired beauty, based on her recent Twitter activity.

Besides hinting at something big coming from her recent studio sessions, Cardi B has also been chatting with fans about how she keeps her bodacious body on point. Though she’s been open about past cosmetic surgeries, it’s still important for the mother of two to exercise and eat nutritious foods that fuel her up for balancing motherhood and superstardom.

NBA YoungBoy’s Arrest: Initial Report On The Matter

Furthermore, YoungBoy was arrested at his home in Utah following a police raid, the property on which he’s been on house arrest since 2022, awaiting a federal gun trial in Louisiana. During this raid, law enforcement reportedly seized multiple prescription pills, weapons, and electronic devices after they issued a search warrant. While there’s not much else we know about this case at press time following these 63 charges, we’ve rounded up what’s available here.

Joel Embiid And The Sixers Beat Jimmy Butler And The Heat To Secure Playoff Spot

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers have officially made the NBA playoffs. The Sixers faced off against the Jimmy Butler-led Miami Heat in a close game. Philly won the game in dramatic fashion, overcoming a 13-point deficit and ultimately winning 105-104. Embiid and the Sixers will face the no. 2 seed New York Knocks, led by Jalen Brunson, in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Embiid and the Sixers struggled early in what was an ugly game of basketball. The Heat dug in defensively and deployed a zone defense that caused headaches for Embiid and his teammates. Nevertheless, the Sixers figured out Miami’s scheme. They erased the deficit and closed out the game with a surprising offensive explosion from Nic Batum. The Knicks are a similarly gritty team with a lot more offensive power. With Embiid still trying to shake off the rust after a prolonged absence due to injury, it’s going to be a tough series.

Joel Embiid Found Nic Batum To Close Out The Heat

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – APRIL 17: Joel Embiid #21 of the Philadelphia 76ers is guarded by Bam Adebayo #13 of the Miami Heat during the third quarter during the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament at the Wells Fargo Center on April 17, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The most important stretch of the game saw Nic Batum start to go off. All the attention Joel Embiid receives when he has the ball leaves his teammate with some good looks; once he starts to find Batum, the game changes, and Philly is able to fend off a gritty Miami Heat team. Batum went 5-7 from three, and the Sixers wouldn’t have won the game without his offensive explosion. Jimmy Butler was hampered by an injury he sustained in the first half. Although he played through it, he wasn’t as effective down the stretch. The Heat will play the Bulls tomorrow to decide the 8th seed in the East.

The Sixers will try to get Joel Embiid back to peak performance. He’s the most dominant player in the East when he is at his best. The Knicks will zero in on Embiid much like the Heat did, leaving the rest of the Sixers to step up. Tyrese Maxey will have to perform like the all-star he is, and the rest of the supporting cast need to fill in the gaps. It will be a much closer series than the seeding suggests. The Sixers face off against the Knicks on Saturday.
