Cristina Mackey Disses Rick Ross’ Ex, Claims Pretty Vee Fling “Was Never This”

by

Cristina Mackey has been no stranger to criticism amid her new relationship with Rick Ross, but luckily, she’s not afraid to fire back. The mother of his son Tia Kemp recently put her on blast for her cooking skills, dissing his latest lover for what she believed was a lackluster taco bar. Mackey took to Instagram Live to clear a few things up, making it apparent that the hate doesn’t change the confidence she has in her relationship.

“The fact that I’m confident about my relationship and it disturbs some of y’all says a lot about what y’all have going on in your personal life,” she explained. “Cuz when you hear a woman speaking confidently about her man, you should just believe her, right? You shouldn’t be disrupted or disturbed, or feel like ‘Don’t be so confident.’ Like, why you hating?”

Cristina Mackey Seemingly Claps Back At Tia Kemp

She continued, seemingly throwing some shade Kemp’s way for her disapproval of her and Ross’ romance. “‘Why would you just move with a man?’ Why wouldn’t you move with a man?” she asked. If you lived with your man you wouldn’t be on my page on a fake account at 40-something years old. You know what I’m saying? You would just be minding your business.”

That’s not the only question that Mackey’s bombarded with on the regular, however. During a recent appearance on The Cali Kickback podcast, she explained how she feels about fans frequently asking what happened to Rick Ross’ relationship with his ex, Pretty Vee. According to her, she just finds the inquiries “funny,” as she knows that their relationships can’t be compared.

Ice Spice Previews Music Video For Upcoming Single

by

Ice Spice is looking to kick off her 2024 in a big way, it seems. Recently, she took to social media to tease a music video or other promotional visual for an upcoming single, which presumably contains the infamous “fart” bar that the Internet went wild over earlier in the week. Moreover, the Bronx rapper was arguably 2023’s shining star when it comes to hip-hop, and it’s no surprise that she wants to heat things up even more this year. Of course, there’s no release information or anything like that yet, but there’s still a lot of anticipation and excitement for this single. After all, we got so much from the 24-year-old in the last 12 months that a two-month break feels like a two-year one.

Still, these new visuals aren’t just hinting at that, as no promo is safe from beef rumors that plague rap discussion. This time around, the speculative conversation is around Ice Spice and Latto, as many believe that the two have a feud going on. However, what’s funny is that the instances of “evidence” that people point to could just as easily be an attack as it could be a co-sign. For example, when the Atlanta artist recently previewed a snippet, she played Spice’s “Pretty Girl” music video on a TV in the background as she raps, “I just want a one-on-one, don’t know why she so nervous.” We’ll let you be the judge.

Ice Spice Teases New Visuals: Watch

Elsewhere, though, the “Bikini Bottom” MC is building many more bridges in the game than the ones she’s allegedly burning. Playboi Carti recently shouted her out on his new single “BACKR00MS” featuring Travis Scott, another highly anticipated artist poised to dominate the year. Ice Spice actually shouted the song out online, giving her blessing and provoking God’s wrath by making a Carti and Spice collab a possibility in fans’ heads. The Lord will never forgive us for this, the Gen Z-est temptation in music these days.

Meanwhile, we actually wouldn’t be surprised if RiotUSA’s dynamic duo partner takes it easy these days. She just celebrated her birthday, and might want to just enjoy life right now. So whenever these visuals for this song drop, we’ll know that Ice Spice is ready to play. For more news and the latest updates on her, stay posted on HNHH.

Do Drake And Yasiin Bey Have Beef?

The public should’ve been on high alert when the year opened up. First, Katt Williams aired out the comedy community during his appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. Although it wasn’t quite as explosive, Yasiin Bey’s (previously known as Mos Def) recent interview has reawakened a hotly debated topic in music.

During Bey’s sit-down with The Cutting Room Floor podcast, when asked if he felt Drake was “hip-hop,” Bey disagreed. Instead, Bey shared that Drake’s music should be categorized as pop. However, he didn’t stop his commentary there. He described Drake’s work as ideal for shopping in Target. This line forced users to ask whether Drake and Bey have beef.

Drake is no stranger to musical feuds, having had dust-ups with Pusha T, Meek Mill, Kanye West, and most recently, Metro Boomin. But, a beef with Yasiin Bey would seem odd to many. Based on newly surfaced screenshots, the answer could be yes. Last year, after Complex gave Drake’s poetry book a subpar review, he asked the publication for another lookover but with one stipulation.

“Can you do an article now where the baddest Instagram girls in the world review my poetry book,” he said in the message exchange. “Not the head of Mos Def fan club…thanks 😂.”

Well, that seemingly innocent joke must’ve made its way back to Bey, thus initiating the rumored feud. But there wasn’t always friction between the two. On songs like “Away From Home,” Drake thanked Bey for his support in the beginning stages of his career. Bey has even performed covers of Drake’s song “Hotline Bling.”

Boosie Badazz Reveals Marriage Plans During Court Appearance

by

It’s no secret that Boosie Badazz has had his fair share of legal drama, but it looks like the rapper won’t be letting it get in the way of love. Last week, the Louisiana native appeared in court via phone for his ongoing felony gun possession case. During the appearance, he asked the judge to modify the conditions of his bond to allow him to see his fiancée, who he’s been apart from since June of 2023.

“We vehemently oppose that,” Attorney Michael Wheat said of Boosie’s request. According to Wheat, authorities don’t want Boosie making contact with his wife-to-be due to security concerns. His fiancée wasn’t a witness in the case, or even in the same state as Boosie during his arrest. Wheat failed to share more information about the specific concerns initially, leading Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo to call the no-contact order a “serious curtailment of [Boosie’s] rights.” After a lengthy sidebar conversation with Wheat, however, the judge decided to impose another 60 days of the order.

It appears as though Boosie will have to wait a bit longer to be reunited with his fiancée. Luckily, he’ll be free to see her as much as he wants after the 60 days are up, as long as the government doesn’t raise any more objections. During the hearing, Boosie asked the judge whether or not the no-contact order should impact his plans to get married in April of 2024. “Me and my fiancée was having a wedding,” he announced. “Do I need to set it back?”

“Boosie, I suggest that you remain silent and not say anything on the record,” his attorney Damon Alimouri responded. What do you think of Boosie Badazz asking a judge if his no-contact order will impact his marriage plans?

JAY-Z “Double-Dipped” From Roc-Nation, Dame Dash Alleges

by

Dame Dash has accused JAY-Z of “double-dipping” from Roc-Nation. “Make another HOV? Why the f-ck would I make another HOV? He was double dipping. We were paying him highly as an artist and he was double dipping from the company and it didn’t make me a lot of money. He did not generate $100million a year for me — I don’t want to make another HOV,” Dame said on his America Nu podcast.

However, Dame wasn’t finished. “I did make a Kanye, a Cam’ron, pause, or help. And you know, after you do that I don’t have to do anything else. But what I did do was the next year, I started another company called Rachel Roy and it generated over $100million a year. So, I didn’t make another HOV, I made another $100million company,” he continued.

Dame Dash Accuses JAY-Z Of Musical Theft

Furthermore, this is just the most recent accusation that Dame has made about Hov. In December, Dame accused Jay-Z of stealing from other artists. “Jay had a pattern of jacking n-ggas records. Jay has a [track] record of getting on a record after it gets hot and now he can perform that record and now it sounds like he made that record — that was his model … That’s f-cked up to the person that [made the song],” Dame claimed. His comments were made in defense of Cam’ron deleting a Hov verse from “Oh Boy”.

Despite this, Young Guru came to the defense of Hov. “CAP on this narrative that jay STEALS songs 1. Jay got “I just want to love you” directly from Pharrell and made the song from scratch. Sparks says a Rick James hook. 2. “Can I get” was Irv’s idea, literally said “Jay get on this record but please keep JA” I love you OG but nah,” Guru wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Do you agree with JAY-Z or Dame Dash? Let us know in the comments.

Yasiin Bey Had A Very Specific Way Of Describing Drake’s ‘Pop’ Music, And Users Online Are Having A Field Day

by

Hate him or love him, Drake is one of the world’s most successful rap acts. As he so boastfully brags through his music, he’s surpassed several titans, such as The Beatles and the late Michael Jackson’s metric markers. Despite his record-breaking achievements to some, Drake still isn’t “hip-hop enough.”

On January 13, Yasiin Bey (previously professionally known as Mos Def) shared his thoughts on Drake’s music, and it sent users online into a frenzy. During an appearance on The Cutting Room Floor podcast, when asked by host Recho Omondi if he considered Drake to be a hip-hop act, Bey didn’t hold back.

“Why are you doing this to me,” he said. “Drake is pop to me, in the sense like, if I was in Target in Houston and I heard a Drake song… it feels like a lot of his music is compatible with shopping. Or shopping with an edge in certain instances… It’s likable.”

Bey went on to provide further context to his initial response. “What happens when this thing collapses,” he said. “What happens when the columns start buckling? Are we not in some early stage of that at this present hour? Are we seeing the collapse of the empire? Buying and selling, where’s the message that I can use? What’s in it for your audience apart from banging the pom-poms?”
