Playboi Carti and Kanye West are two of the most cryptic and mysterious artists in all of popular music. Both of them can sometimes disappear for long amounts of time and make announcements that don’t go anywhere. Cardi spent the past few years nearly silent on the new music front. But across the second half of 2023, he finally began posting some new teasers about potentially releasing new music. That eventually paid off last month when he began dropping new songs on YouTube. He’s shared a series of singles to the platform though it’s unclear if they are building to a new album or if they will ever make their way to digital streaming platforms.
Kanye West on the other hand reportedly does have a new album, though it’s been repeatedly delayed. The album is a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign called Vultures which was originally announced and planned for release in December. Since then the album has been repeatedly delayed first being pushed back to New Year’s. The project has been through multiple 2024 release dates already with the most recent pushback putting its release in early February. But now Carti took to Instagram to give fans a peek of what he and West talk about behind the scenes.
“MY BIG BROTHER N*GGA CANT TELL ME SH*T ABOUT U @kanyewest” the caption of Playboi Carti’s newest Instagram post reads. It’s attached to a screenshot of some texts between the two. In the picture Carti replies to something unknown, saying it’s “hard as ever.” Kanye then fires back with a picture of his teeth, highlighted by what looks like a pair of sharpened fangs.
In the comments fans unsurprisingly crack jokes and call for new music. “bro done turned kanye to a vamp,” and “2 men who don’t wanna drop bro” two of the top comments on the post read. What do you think of Playboi Carti sharing some bizarre new texts with Kanye West? Do you think either artist will drop a new album anytime soon? Let us know in the comment section below.
Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, might be turning over a new leaf in 2024. The hip-hop legend has long used his Instagram platform to troll his contemporaries and share his comedic thoughts on breaking news in the industry, much of which paints his enemies in an unflattering light. In particular, the New Yorker’s been putting Diddy’s downfall on blast as he prepares to release an R. Kelly-style docuseries recounting some of his troubling past that’s caused multiple lawsuits to come forward in recent months.
Fif’s profile has been filling up with dapper shots of him dressing to the nines lately, sharing life updates about choosing celibacy so that he remains focused on the task at hand. This has left some pondering if he and Cuban Link are still together, but it’s not the most shocking life change for the “Candy Shop” hitmaker to integrate lately. On Tuesday (January 16), he posed in a grey blazer, black pants, and sneakers while offering up an apology to anyone who’s fallen victim to his past IG rampages.
“Hey, if I have offended you in [any way], [I’d] like to apologize,” he wrote. “GLG GreenLightGang. We can get more done together, , why we work against each other?” Now, more than ever, Jackson seems determined to bring the industry together in favour of exposing Diddy and other unfair treatment that’s taking place. As you may recall, he rushed to support both Mo’Nique and Taraji P. Henson as they spoke about economic disparity for Black actresses and entertainers.
One person in particular who’s been waiting for an apology from 50 Cent is Young Buck. Now that the Power producer is taking accountability for his past behaviour, we’re curious to see if the pair will be able to mend fences. Read all about that situation at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Ari Lennox has had an eventful past few weeks. It all started right at the end of November when she was performing as the opening act for Rod Wave on his Nostalgia Tour. The performance seems to be going well enough until one of the fans in attendance throws something, later revealed to be a bottle, at Ari on stage. She claps back hard calling out the person who threw it and even threatening to fight them. The viral moment ended when her microphone was cut off and her performance ended early.
Fans responded to the post largely in support of Ari. Across 2023 there was a strange trend of fans throwing objects on stage at artists. While it was occasionally light-hearted, like when Drake had dozens of bras thrown at him on stage during his tour. But at other points, it was much more hostile even resulting in some injuries to performers. Ari took the situation in stride, hilarious donning a helmet during her next performance in reference to the incident. Then earlier this month, she reflected on her time touring with Rod Wave, which didn’t sit right with everyone.
When Ari opened up on her time on tour she was pretty critical. She claimed that she never felt comfortable and raced through her sets because whenever she tried to affirm the crowd they would just get angry at her. But despite her vulnerable reflection on the tour, some still tried to critique her. Joe Budden in particular used his podcast as a vessel to claim that she should have just been happy to be included on such a big tour.
In a new video responding to his comments, Ari didn’t hold anything back. She not only claims that he has a $20k lawsuit headed his way but also claims that he’s obsessed with her and even joked that he “touches dogs.” What do you think of Ari Lennox’s response to Joe Budden’s critiques of her comments about touring with Rod Wave? Do you think she should follow through with suing him? Let us know in the comment section below.
Over the years, Metro Boomin has built a strong rapport with so many rappers. His most successful ones are with Future, 21 Savage, and Travis Scott. One of his more underrated teammates is Young Nudy. The Atlanta, Georgia native had a nice 2023 with the release of his solo studio album Gumbo. That featured the viral hit song “Peaches & Eggplants.” It got so big in fact, that he decided to bring the hype up even higher with a remix. Nudy did this by bringing on two of the hottest female MCs in the game, Latto and Sexyy Red.
For 2024, he is looking to build on that success with some music with Metro. Their most recent effort landed on the wildly popular HEROES & VILLAINStape from the end of 2022. “Umbrella” with 21 Savage was one of the darkest tracks on the record. It featured killer piano keys and relentless flows from the related rappers. With that feather in the cap of both Metro and Nudy, a new one might need to be added.
The “EA” rapper hopped on Instagram Live to share a preview of an upcoming single. From what we can hear it sounds sinister. There are sharp string sections and a soulful sample that kick the track off. Then, the new “Metro!” tag comes in and the beat drops abruptly but beautifully and hits hard. Metro reposted the clip to his IG story and captioned it saying, “Too early in the year to start talking bout the Nudy tape yet [zipped shut mouth emoji fire emoji].” This a loose announcement, but on top of the the Future and JID tapes, Nudy is getting one too at some point.
What are your thoughts on Metro Boomin and Young Nudy’s upcoming collaboration? Will this project drop this year, or sometime next year? Where would you rank him and Nudy together amongst the rest of the Metro duos? Does this have the potential to be one of the best trap songs of the year? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Metro Boomin and Young Nudy. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.
Tom Brady was spotted grabbing dinner with Irina Shayk, the Russian model he dated in the summer of 2023, at an upmarket restaurant in New York. The pair enjoyed a two-hour dinner at Brasserie Fouquet’s in Lower Manhattan. However, per sources who revealed the dinner to TMZ, there were no signs of PDA and the two left the restaurant separately.
However, it’s not the first time that the pair have been spotted together since their breakup in October 2023. Shayk was seen entering the building that houses Tom Brady’s New York condo in early November. However, she had recently given an interview complaining about the spotlight thrust upon her love life. More bizarre still is Shayk’s decision to enter the building through the main public entrance in front of the assembled paparazzi. Furthermore, no outlet was able to ascertain exactly why she made the trip to Brady’s home.
Tom Brady Posts Heartfelt Reaction To Bill Belichick Firing

Elsewhere, Brady posted a lengthy and emotional tribute to his former NFL coach Bill Belichick after it was announced that he would no longer be coaching the New England Patriots. “I’m incredibly grateful to have played for the best coach in the history of the NFL. He was a great leader for the organization, and for all of the players who played for him. We accomplished some amazing things over a long period of time, many of which will be hard to replicate. He worked every day to help us achieve the ultimate goal, in the ultimate team sport,” Brady’s Instagram post began.
Furthermore, he talked about the personal impact Belichick’s coaching had on his career. “And, although we were successful, some of the greatest lessons I learned were in the moments where we faced the most challenging adversities. He set the tone for the organization. To never falter in the face of adversity, and to do what we could do, and what was in our control, which was to go out and DO OUR JOB. I could never have been the player I was without you Coach Belichick. I am forever grateful. And I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose next,” Brady continued.
Saweetie’s rap career hasn’t quite taken off in the same way as others like Ice Spice and Latto, but still, the California native remains one to watch as she embarks on this next chapter. Besides teasing new music, the “Best Friend” hitmaker is also making it known that she’s back on the market following a seven-month relationship with YG. The West Coast duo mostly kept quiet for the duration of their time together, though we did see them outside in coordinating outfits on more than one occasion.
Earlier this week, sources close to them alleged that Saweetie and her ex are going their separate ways. Both reportedly feel friendship is the right choice for them as they continue to focus on their respective work obligations. Interstingly, internet sleuths caught YG in the comments of his former lover, Kehlani’s recent gym photo, immediately starting rumours of his desire to spin the block with her. However, he’s responding to the gossip and clarifying that his “SHOT O’CLOCK” collaborator is the only woman with his attention.
In the video above, some feel that Saweetie looks uncomfortable while her former lover wraps his arm around her chest. “The only block I’m tryna spin,” YG captioned the awkward clip. Once @theshaderoom reposted it, the replies quickly flooded with concerned fans checking in on the fashionista. “Kehlani must’ve left him on read,” one person wrote on Tuesday (January 16).
“He’s just making his territory known, men tend to do this,” another IG user speculated of YG’s post-breakup behaviour toward Saweetie. “It’s for other men, not us females. It’s [an] ego thing,” they further noted. “Ni**as would try to spin till they dizzy just to fumble us again,” someone else chimed in. Keep scrolling to read more social media reactions, and let us know if you’d rather see the femcee spin the block with Quavo or her most recent ex in the comments.
INSANO is the newest album from Kid Cudi. His previous release was 2022’s Entergalactic which was the soundtrack for his Netflix film of the same name. He also released a greatest hits compilation and re-released his first mixtape on streaming services. As far as his listeners are concerned, the last album of his that “counted” released in 2020. Cudi’s life had changed for the better in the past four years. Listeners were looking forward to seeing if the music reflected these changes. The features on this new album include some people he has worked with previously and some first-time collaborations. In this list, we’ll be discussing his chemistry with other artists on this album and how the song came out overall too.
This is the first of two features Travis Scott has on Kid Cudi’s INSANO. The two of them have made several songs together in the past. One of their biggest songs, “The Scotts,” was their debut single as a duo of the same name. However, the collab album has yet to release.
Their track on Cudi’s latest album, “GET OFF ME” showcases them on a haunting trap beat. Cudi attacks the track with energy before a vocal filter is added to his voice as he transitions into a more relaxed delivery. Travis uses a fitting flow in the song but doesn’t offer anything his listeners haven’t heard before. Things get a little more interesting on the track’s second half, where the duo trade verses with ad-libs and auto-tune-soaked vocals. These effects match the space-like atmosphere of the song well.
“WOW” (With A$AP Rocky)
Kid Cudi brought in another artist familiar with putting psychedelic elements in their music for this INSANO track. Kid Cudi and ASAP Rocky have a few songs together already. Their most recent one was actually on Rocky’s last album, 2018’s Testing. Their latest track, “WOW,” has a certain relaxed feeling to it as the melodic keys are subdued but Cudi’s vocals are still quite prominent. The hook isn’t the most elaborate but it is catchy. Rocky’s verse is effortless as expected as he smoothly flows over the production. He uses a rap-sung delivery in this portion, much like the one Cudi uses throughout the whole song.
“TOO DAMN HIGH” (With Lil Yachty)
Lil Yachty’s last album was a large departure from his previous music and was met with a myriad of reactions. In this song, the biggest moment of his guest verse comes at the beginning as he uses a unique vibrato technique that his listeners have previously heard. Outside of this opening, his verse unfortunately offered no redeeming factors to the already mediocre song.
“AT THE PARTY” (With Pharrell Williams & Travis Scott)
When this song from INSANO was announced, Kid Cudi listeners were quite excited. With features from two artists he had already made very well-received songs with, they were sure this would be a highlight. As expected, Pharrell produced the track. The pace of it is slower than some probably expected which allows for all the sounds he implemented to be heard with ease. A very fitting space-like melody is at the forefront with other otherworldly noises popping in and out. Pharrell handles the hook with a subdued delivery that serves as the connecting thread between the tales of partying Cudi and Travis tell. Cudi weaves in some bars about his positive mental state while Travis focuses on a flow switch while keeping his subject matter consistent.
“X & CUD” (With XXXTentacion)
This is one of the most divisive songs Kid Cudi put on INSANO. Posthumous verses are already something listeners have very strong opinions on and they must be handled with respect. In this case, many listeners feel like the song should have never been made. It does not feature a posthumous verse, but it does sample the song “Orlando.” X released this song in 2017 on his album 17. Considering how prominent the elements from the original song are in Cudi’s version, calling this a “remix” may have been more fitting but likely equally panned.
“SEVEN” (With Lil Wayne)
Lil Wayne is a GOAT and seeing his name on the tracklist for Kid Cudi’s INSANO got many excited. It also made people wonder which “version” of Wayne would be appearing. Listeners know he can do verses filled with double and triple entendres and other creative word gymnastics. They also know sometimes he will go the route of a melodic rap verse and this is what he did on this song. His appearance was short and while it had a very small amount of wordplay, it was nothing that could compare to some of his other recent prime-form verses.
Kid Cudi turns down the hype on this track from INSANO. His first verse here is more in line with the introspective lyrics people have praised him for across the years. Thug’s verse is very short and while it does have a nice flow, it seems to be a large departure from the route Cudi took. However, the two trade bars on the second portion of the song and this is where they truly get on the same page. Their melodic flows mirror each other well with some background vocalizations from Cudi enhancing the guitar like melody that plays throughout the whole song.
