Travis Kelce Blasted For Justin Tucker Disrespect At AFC Championship Game

January 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Things are already popping off at the AFC Championship Game. During pre-game warmups, Travis Kelce was seen kicking and throwing equipment belonging to veteran Ravens placekicker Justin Tucker. Fans immediately piled on the “disrespectful” behavior. “Mahomes and kelce are some losers for that low key,” one fan noted. Meanwhile, several other fans noted how good the “inevitable” game-winning field goal from Tucker was going to feel.

The Chiefs looking for their third Super Bowl appearance in the last four years. Meanwhile, the Ravens are hoping to reach their first Super Bowl since 2012. Ravens coach John Harbaugh was joined by his brother, newly-appointed Chargers head coach Jim, on the sideline in Baltimore. The game is expected to be close, with the deciding factor likely being on the defense.

Mural Of Taylor Swift In A Ravens Jersey Appears In Maryland

A post shared by SportsCenter (@sportscenter)

The two fanbases have been chirping at one another all week. A Maryland-based artist and Ravens fan has taken trash-talking to a new level with his latest Taylor Swift-inspired piece. The artist, known as Dlordink on social media, showcased an intricate mural of Taylor Swift wearing a Ravens jersey ahead of the team’s matchup against the Chiefs this weekend. Furthermore, Dlordink called out Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. “Tag @taylorswift & @killatrav in the comments and let them know how good she looks in @new_era8 @ravens purple,” he added as a caption.

Swift is expected to head to Baltimore this week as the Chiefs look for their third Super Bowl appearance in four years. However, the Ravens are hosting for the first time in franchise history. This ends a run of five consecutive championship home games for Kansas City. Meanwhile, Chiefs fans have tried to play off the trash talk. “Huh. Weird. I have to say, as a Chiefs fan, we kinda…don’t think about you at all. But whatever makes you feel better about things. Enjoy the crab cakes,” one fan replied on Twitter.

Teezo Touchdown Scores Big On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

January 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While it’s not the most stacked one in our history, this R&B Season playlist update still contains some of the best music to have dropped this week. Leading the way is the star-studded Lyrical Lemonade album All Is Yellow, put together by Cole Bennett and all the supporting artists. One of the most soulful and tender cuts on the project is the excellent “Hummingbird,” which reunites a compelling and eclectic cast. Teezo Touchdown, SahBabii, and UMI come together with a lot of chemistry over some acoustic guitar flutters and harmonious background vocals. Not only that, but it also finds each musician slightly out of their comfort zone thanks to the unexpected nature of this collab, although Teezo is certainly cozy with surprises and fusions.

Next on our R&B Season playlist update is Rhyan Douglas’ new single “Conversations,” which kicks off with woozy and swirling vocal samples. Eventually, it falls into the sultry and snap-led R&B rhythm that we’ve grown to love from the genre, complete with high-pitched, ethereal croons. Eventually, vocal processing, soft piano, and dynamic range from Douglas fleshes out the song a little bit more, yet it doesn’t lose its atmosphere. In fact, it’s impressive and surprising that the record never swells or explodes percussively, yet you can still feel a strong momentum as you’re closing it out.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Meanwhile, back to projects on our R&B Season playlist, we have a new four-track EP (Blended) from Emotional Oranges and Nonso Amadi. It’s a light, breezy, and easy-going bite-sized treat of dancehall, Afrobeat, and soul fusions, of which “Simple Things” is a particular highlight. Again, we have guitars leading the way melodically and chord-wise, whereas all vocalists can show off their range and runs in this lovey-dovey narrative. While the identity of the song is a bit blurry, this treatment of different styles is also what will make it resonate for many listeners out there.

Finally, we have a new release from SiR, the two-and-a-half-minute slow burn “No Evil.” Thanks to growly bass, soaring and raspy vocals, and the otherwise dreamy atmosphere on the song, this is one of the most passionate and hard-hitting cuts you’ll find all week, even if it’s a little strong on the ears on first impact. With that in mind, let us know what your favorite R&B Season playlist pick was this week -– and what else we missed, too. Check out the new additions above and log back into HNHH for the latest great music releases around the clock.

Family Of Megan’s Law Namesake Should Sue Megan Thee Stallion, Moniece Slaughter Argues In Tweet-And-Delete

January 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Moniece Slaughter has claimed in now-deleted tweets the family of Megan Kanka should sue Megan Thee Stallion for “emotional damage” after the femcee reference the law in her recent diss track, “Hiss”. “Your wound is reopened because a b-tch used it as a bar in a diss track. Smh. I would take every red cent from those singles sales,” Moniece mused on social media. However, there was little agreement amongst fans, who argued that the bar actually raised awareness of the law. Furthermore, Moniece erroneously referred to the law’s namesake as Megan Kansa. The family name is “Kanka”.

Megan’s Law is a state law in New Jersey passed in the wake of the 1994 rape and murder of then-seven-year-old Megan Kanka by her neighbor. The law better monitors the post-prison release movements of sex offenders and requires them to register and re-register with the state after moving. Additionally, Kenneth Petty, the husband of Nicki Minaj, was subject to Megan’s Law after failing to register with the state after the couple moved. Petty served four years in prison for the attempted rape of a minor in 1996.

Megan Thee Stallion Unbothered Amid “Hiss” Reaction

Meanwhile, “unbothered” would be the word to describe Megan Thee Stallion as she rolled up to the Players’ Ball this weekend. Rocking a huge blonde afro, white bralette, and sheer white pants, Megan made it clear she didn’t care about the internet meltdown she had caused. She twerked for the cameras and was later seen grinding on Victoria Monet as her laid-back attitude continued throughout the night.

Furthermore, fans were extremely here for Megan living her best life throughout the night. “The girl was shot and everyone laughed at her. Her own community made a mockery out of a tragedy, she overcame! Love your life Meg!!” one fan said. “ …. Meagan got the body Nicki tried to buy,” another fan savagely fired off. “Now this is Queen sh-t! Enjoy life ignore the bullsh-t! Make en more mad!!! I liveeeee!!” cheered a third.

ASAP Rocky Left Verse Off “Say Ya Grace,” Cole Bennett Shares As Fans Beg For Album

January 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky would’ve fit like a stylish, satin glove on the new Cole Bennett-directed Lyrical Lemonade album All Is Yellow. Alas, such potential is hard to materialize sometimes, and it turns out that he was actually among the stacked cast of features that were meant to appear on the project. However, it looks like things didn’t quite work out, which is understandable considering the New York rapper’s busy personal schedule. Amid fatherhood, legal trouble, and career moves outside of music, perhaps the cards didn’t fall right. Moreover, Bennett took to Twitter on Saturday (January 27) to reveal this information to fans.

“Rocky had a verse on Say Ya Grace originally,” the music video director and creative expressed. “Maybe the world will get to hear it one day.” Considering the sheer longevity of ASAP Rocky’s career -– and that of his ardent fanbase, which only seems to grow every day -– we wouldn’t be surprised if there’s enough hype around this to release the verse one day. Still, we can’t guess on when or how it will ever come out, and as many hardcore fans will remind you online if you bring this up, he has much more pressing musical matters to attend.

Furthermore, ASAP Rocky fans want him to release his long-awaited fourth studio album already. He’s been cooking it for years up until this point, so much so that we can’t even say for sure whether it will really be called Don’t Be D*mb, as he teased so long ago. Regardless, patience is the name of the game here, and all we can hope is that the A$AP Mob head honcho’s project is fantastic whenever it does arrive. But the longer it pushes back, more and more folks will tune out and forget, so the clock is ticking for a hyped drop.

Meanwhile, with his firearm assault case in mind, it’s unfortunate that factors like this clearly delayed this new album. However, there are much better reasons for Rakim Mayers to leave his craft behind for some time: his growing family. As such, we can’t really blame him, but if we were him, we’d prioritize solo work over features. Hopefully “Say Ya Grace” is an indicator that this is the path ASAP Rocky chose. Nevertheless, for more news and the latest updates on him, check back in with HNHH.

Snoop Dogg Says Donald Trump Has His “Love & Respect” For Pardon

January 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg recently doubled down on his goodwill for Donald Trump during a recent interview with The Times, and if you weren’t already aware, this isn’t his first rodeo when it comes to this support. “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me,” he shared. “He has done only great things for me.” Specifically, Tha Doggfather referred to the disgraced former president’s pardon of Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, one of his last acts before he left office in January of 2021. “So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” he concluded.

Furthermore, this is what the Long Beach legend had to say a couple of years ago when news of this pardon broke. “That’s great work for the president and his team on the way out,” Snoop Dogg expressed. “They did some great work while they was in there and they did some great work on their way out. Let them know that I love what they did. It is amazing what the work of God can actually bring to life to make people understand that there is a God.”

Snoop Dogg Doubles Down On Donald Trump Praise

However, Snoop Dogg wasn’t always a fan of Donald Trump. “So, me and my homeboys sittin’ up here talkin’ about all the people that President Trump disrespected,” he recalled in September of 2020. “Women, gays, transgender people, Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, and now veterans. Hm. Seems like he’s disrespecting every color in the world and everything that ain’t what he is, which is a racist. With that being said, the people that voted for him got exactly what they wanted. They gave them what he said he was gon’ do. So, the next motherf***er, you better tell us what we gon’ get for your vote. You better show up and deliver, period. We just want some peace, love, equality, and tranquility for everybody. All lives. Just basic conversation. Now carry on.”

If you didn’t already know that Snoop changed his mind because of Trump’s pardon -– which doesn’t excuse his politics -– then you might see this as part of a recent wave of endorsements for him. Benny The Butcher recently caught flack for his support, which he explained in an interview with The Breakfast Club. Whether you agree with this forgiveness or not, it’s clear that the West Coast MC is speaking from a wholly personal perspective, and not that which he employed in the past to speak on the criminal. For more news on Donald Trump and the latest updates on Snoop Dogg, stick around on HNHH.

“Little Miss Flint” Seeks Positive Change From Nicki Minaj & Megan Thee Stallion Beef

January 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mari Copeny, aka “Little Miss Flint”, has stepped into the ongoing beef between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion. “Hey @NICKIMINAJ and @theestallion I have an idea! Let me introduce myself. I’m Mari and I’m a 16 year old from Flint, MI. I have been working half of my life to get clean water not just to Flint but to hundreds of other communities dealing with clean water crisis. Both of you have HUGE platforms. So I have a couple ideas. Your new songs will be getting tons of streams. Can you please consider pledging to donate $0.01 for every stream you have on these songs for the next 24 to 48 hours?” Copeny wrote in a series of posts on X.

Copeny first came to fame in 2016, when she wrote to then-President Barack Obama and asked for help addressing the ongoing Flint Water Crisis. Since then, Copeny has dedicated herself to the cause of addressing safe drinking water. This included working with a team of scientists to develop a new sort of affordable water filter to help others in need of safe drinking water.

Nicki Minaj Claims To Have Multiple Diss Tracks Ready After “Bigfoot”

Both of you have HUGE platforms. So I have a couple ideas.
Your new songs will be getting tons of streams. Can you please consider pledging to donate $0.01 for every stream you have on these songs for the next 24 to 48 hours? https://t.co/4ycfa8fhgW https://t.co/sXCX9IpRco… pic.twitter.com/ccSsCeLOXW

— Mari Copeny (@LittleMissFlint) January 28, 2024

Hopefully, Copeny can bring the two rappers together. However, they are currently very far apart. Minaj continued to ramp up her attacks against Megan by announcing a new single, “Bigfoot”. However, more than that, Minaj promised that there was far more than just “Bigfoot”. “After the 1st one drop, if dat pussy ass hoe so much as BREATHE wrong ima empty da clip. If that pussy ass hoe deny 1THING I say, I’m posting every fkn receipt known to man. 5. Yes you heard me! Did 5 extra songs. we’ve been waiting on u HO. Play #PinkFriday2 NON STOP barbz. LuvU,” Minaj wrote.

Furthermore, Minaj found herself beef with gossip outlet Pop Base soon after. Minaj had taken issue with the way in which the outlet reported on her aforementioned tweet. “Never said that ugly name. Stop lying on me. You want engagement so bad. Ima put your REAL name in the 2nd song just for shits & giggles. Go to bed ,” Minaj tweeted out.
