Fans React To Eminem’s Diss Towards Coi Leray & Benzino

by

Old habits die hard, and we’re starting to think that Eminem and Benzino will pop a vein if they go too long without speaking on one another. Perhaps that applies more to the latter, since he just has more frequent media appearances, but the former ramped things up with new disses against The Source‘s former boss and his daughter, Coi Leray, on “Doomsday Pt. 2” this week. “Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn’t laugh,” Slim Shady begins his attacks. “What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe. Go at his neck, how the f**k is that? How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have? Arms so short he can’t even touch his hands when they’re up above his head doin’ jumpin’ jacks.

“Sorry, I don’t mean to upset you, Ben’, when I talk about all the debt you in,” Eminem went on. “I hear that you been creepin’ on the low in them cheap hotels that they catch you in. Jesus Christ, dawg, when you said two-10, never guessed you meant at the Red Roof Inn, in a room with one single bed, two men. Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day, but this doesn’t bring me no joy to say, guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, aye?”

Fan Reacts To New Eminem Diss Against Benzino & Coi Leray

While Benzino himself hasn’t responded yet, Coi Leray came through with some sharp Twitter remarks. “Man who the hell said I wanted a Eminem feature?? Imagine Eminem on Wanna Come thru?” she tweeted with crying-laughing emojis and fire emojis. “Rap beef is so washed and tired. Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just f***ing over all corny as f**k. [person dumping trash emoji]. I got no issues with no one. I’m so locked in on my grown and sexy vibes… if anybody don’t like me, that’s something they gotta take on with themselves [red heart emoji].” Check out fans’ reactions to all of this down below.

Meanwhile, as you can see, it’s funny to think about how different generations are reacting to this based on their knowledge of their storied feud. Still, it probably won’t have the intended impact that Em might think he landed, if only because this is nothing new. But perhaps it’s the start of another run from him where anyone will land in his sights. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Eminem, Benzino & Coi Leray.

Mariah The Scientist Leaked Phone Call Parodied By Former “Bad Girls Club” Star

by

Earlier this week the audio and video of a jail phone conversation between Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist leaked online. Fans and artists from all over the rap world reacted to the video online. Many were blown away by the invasion of privacy and felt uncomfortable about peeking into such a private conversation. Some of Thug’s collaborators like Drake and Meek Mill also came to his defense claiming that he has every right to sue.

But the video has also sparked somewhat of a viral trend for what actually happens in the clip. Mariah’s discussions with Thug have been mimicked by some online, including former Bad Girl Club star Winter. She shared a clip online of her take on the couple’s conversation. While some fans thought she was making fun of Mariah and the situation as a whole, Winter clarified. In a comment underneath a repost of the video she assured fans there’s no hard feelings. “o be clear I’m not making fun of @mariahthescientist since yall like to drag everything. I’m the EXACT same way which is why I think it’s funny,” her comment reads. Check out the full video below.

Winter’s Mariah The Scientist Video

The leaked phone call has taken over much of the discussion surrounding Young Thug’s ongoing YSL RICO case. The trial has been surrounding one of the label’s co-founders for weeks now. He’s given testimony that the prosecution are trying to use to point toward the label’s gang ambitions and affiliations.

In response, Thug’s defense team has tried to poke holes in the evidence used to connect YSL to actual gangs. They’ve introduced clips of celebrities like LeBron James and Snoop Dogg displaying gang symbols. Consequently, they’re using it as evidence to claim that gang signs and iconography don’t necessarily imply direct gang affiliation. What do you think of Winter’s video parodying Mariah The Scientist’s jail call? Do you think she’s being mean or it’s all in good taste? Let us know in the comment section below.

Eminem Fires at Benzino’s Neck on New Single “Doomsday Pt. 2”

Eminem Fires at Benzino's Neck on New Single "Doomsday Pt. 2"

Eminem had time. Dropping off “Doomsday Pt. 2,” Slim Shady launches a full-on assault on Benzino, harkening back to the days when Benzino once owned The Source.

Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn’t laugh
What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe
“Go at his neck,” how the fuck is that?
How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have?
Arm so short he can’t even touch his hands
When they’re above his head doin’ jumpin’ jacks
Sorry, I don’t mean to upset you, Ben’
When I talk about all the debt you in
I hear that you been creepin’ on the low
In them cheap hotels, that they catch you in
Jesus Christ, dawg, when you said two-ten
Never guessed you meant at the Red Roof Inn
In a room with one single bed, two men
Shady, man, you can’t—, yes, you can
Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day
But this doesn’t bring me no joy to say
Guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, ayy?
Damage due to flows, collateral, I s’pose
Gat-pointed like mine and Sandra Bullock’s nose
Yeah, them bullet holes, have you full of those
You’ll catch a stray like animal control, plan a funeral
I’ma probably have to plan a few neurological exams
Once again, it is off into that damn padded room I go

In April 2023, Benzino reflected on his beef with Eminem. According to the rapper, the late Michael Jackson thanked him for dissing Slim Shady back in the day.

Popping up on The Gauds Show podcast, Benzino claims MJ praised him for the diss after Eminem made light of the situation where Michael Jackson once caught on fire. That moment was in the “Just Lose It” video.

“I met Mike through Teddy [Riley]. He called me and he thanked me. Because when Eminem dissed him with the fire situation, in the video, Mike called and I remember his assistant put him on the phone and I sat there and listened to him. And he thanked me.”

Is Snoop Dogg Releasing A New Album In 2024?

Snoop Dogg has a busy year planned. His new movie, The Underdoggs, is out now on Amazon Prime Video, he’s headlining the 2024 return of the nostalgic Lovers & Friends Festival, and he’s still working on that new album, which he first started teasing way back with the tentative title, Missionary, a spiritual sequel to his debut, Doggystyle.

Earlier this week, at the Underdoggs premiere in Culver City, Snoop told Good Morning America‘s Michael Strahan that the first single is coming very soon and revealed that he and Dr. Dre had been working on the album for the past eight months. “I can let the rabbit out the hat,” he said. “I’ve been working on a record with Dr. Dre for the past 8 months. We’re about ready to drop a single in a couple weeks, so that’s what I’ve been cooking up.” While that doesn’t necessarily mean the album will be out this year (especially with the notoriously perfectionist Dre at the helm), it’s a good sign that we could see the album sooner rather than later.

Snoop’s most recent album, Bacc On Death Row (or BODR) was released on February 11, 2022, and featured appearances from DaBaby, The Game, Lil Duval, Nas, the late Nate Dogg, Sleepy Brown, T.I., Uncle Murda, and Wiz Khalifa. It peaked at No. 104 on the Billboard 200. He also released the mixtape Gangsta Grillz: I Still Got It and the Mount Westmore album Snoop Cube 40 $hort that same year.

Who Is Megan Thee Stallion Dissing On ‘Hiss?’

So, remember how seemingly half the hip-hop world spent about three years making fun of Megan Thee Stallion for being shot, or calling her a liar and saying she wasn’t shot, or calling her a liar and saying the person who shot her wasn’t Tory Lanez?

Well, Megan remembers. She remembers, and she comes for literary revenge with her new single “Hiss.” While plenty of attention has been given to the obvious shot at Nicki Minaj, Meg reserves rhymes for just about everybody who threw dirt on her name. From Drake, who turned her trauma into a punchline, to her ex, Pardison Fontaine, who fueled a promo tour behind their recent breakup, Megan’s got plenty of targets on her latest, and she hits them all.

Does Megan Thee Stallion Diss DaBaby On “Hiss?”

Absolutely. Here’s the line: “Bodies on bodies on bodies on bodies / Say he f*cked Megan and now he the topic / These n****s thinkin’ they lowered the value / All this free promo, I’m turnin’ a profit.”

DaBaby, with whom Megan fell out in the immediate aftermath of the shooting over his collaboration with Tory, made it a point to go around telling anyone who would listen that he smashed his “Cry Baby” collaborator, receiving a resounding yawn in return.

For reference, he has since tanked his own career and now blames his misfortunes on being blackballed. Meanwhile, Meg’s gettting money from Planet Fitness. Funny how that worked out.

Does Megan Diss Drake On “Hiss?”

You better believe it. This one’s a little dicier and spread out, but we’ve got some juicy selections to choose from. “These n****s hate on BBLs and be walkin’ ’round with the same scars,” and “Cosplay gangsters, fake-ass accents,” both refer to rumors and accusations floating around about Drake. It’s not the first time the Toronto rapper has been accused of going under the knife, and his accents and mobsterisms have been the subject of ridicule for years.

Drake came for Megan unbidden in 2022, when his Her Loss track “Circo Loco” seemed to poke fun at Megan getting shot. “This b*tch lie ’bout getting shot but she still a stallion,” he raps, playing on the recent Brazilian butt lift trend and connecting it to the slang term for tall, thick women from which Megan got her name. There were two ways to read this, neither very nice to Meg: either he was using her shooting as the punchline of a sleazy dad joke, or suggesting that she too was lying about getting shot.

Meg wasn’t happy about it, especially considering he couldn’t wait to cozy up to her during her 2019 rise to stardom and doesn’t even seem to like Tory very much. An all-around bad look for Drake, who could have finally shook some of those soft misogyny allegations with a simple solidarity post.

Does Megan Diss Pardison Fontaine On “Hiss?”

Of course. While there’s some ambiguity to these. “I feel like Mariah Carey, got these n****s so obsessed…” and “He can’t move on, can’t let it go / he hooked, nose full of that Tina Snow,” are the most obvious, attributing Pardi’s recent slate of radio interviews and singles to the sense that perhaps he’s feeling a lack of closure. Meg also says, “I’m way too f*ckin’ cocky to take him back if he been cheatin’,” which could be about Pardi. While he denies cheating on her, Meg hasn’t exactly backed him up.

During a livestream on Instagram over the holidays, she responded to his interviews, saying, “If this man is saying, ‘I didn’t cheat on her. I didn’t do that’ — well then why the f*ck is you responding to me? Do you know how many n****s y’all claim I done f*cked with? Why are you answering? Why are you trying to make that shoe fit? Was it you getting your dick sucked in the same spot I was sleeping? If you said it wasn’t you, why the hell is you dissing me? Like what the f*ck is going on? Why are you talking to me? If you said I wasn’t talking to you. I wasn’t talking to you.”

Like the old saying goes, “hit dogs holler” — and Pardi has done some hollering.

Does Megan Diss Tory Lanez On “Hiss?”

Not directly. Instead, she reserves her vitriol for his online groupies, who’ve spent the last three years attacking her. “I don’t give a f*ck who think what,” she snarls. “You n****s is typin’ for nothin’ / On the internet typin’ this sh*t to me? Write him a letter or somethin’.”

This one seems pretty self-explanatory. If the guys want to be buddy-buddy with Tory, talk to him, not Meg. Stop being weird on Twitter.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Megan Thee Stallion Shades Nicki Minaj On “The Breakfast Club”

by

For those who don’t know, Megan Thee Stallion recently unleashed her new song “Hiss,” which features various jabs at those who have spoken down on her. Notably, she threw quite a bit of shade at Nicki Minaj, who she’s had her fair share of differences with in the past. She didn’t call her out by name, but a mention of “Megan’s Law,” a law that requires authorities to notify the public of sex offenders in their area, made it pretty clear who she was talking about.

As expected, she and the Barbz have fired back with full force, leading to online chaos and even an upcoming response track from Nicki, “Big Foot.” As the two rap divas’ fanbases spar on social media, #BigFoot trends on Twitter, and Nicki likes shady posts about Meg, the Houston MC has stayed mostly silent.

She did recently call into The Breakfast Club, however, chatting with Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy about the single. During their conversation, Meg reiterated that the song is a warning. “It’s basically telling you to back off,” she described. “I hear you, I see you, back up off me now.” When Charlamagne asked her to clarify whether she named any names, she noted that she didn’t. She went on to suggest that the track is actually aimed at multiple people. “Whoever feel it feel it,” she said.

Meg also mentioned that she doesn’t have social media on her phone, leaving her unbothered by the inevitable “smoke.” “They’re gonna act like it’s unprovoked. I’m gonna take a little nap, and I’ll wake back up to see what they have to say,” she explained. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj’s beef?

How Many Kids Does Draya Michele Have?

by

Since the early 2010s, Draya Michele has been captivating audiences both on and off-screen. While she first gained prominence being known as Chris Brown’s girlfriend, she has since grown into a recognizable media personality. Behind the many hats she wears as a public figure, Draya Michele is also a loving mother of two kids. However, rumors are currently going round that she is pregnant with a third child. 

While it remains unconfirmed, the claim is that the 39-year-old is carrying the child of 21-year-old NBA player Jalen Green, whom she has been involved with for some time now. Although it’s just speculation at the moment, the Basketball Wives star is facing outrage, and is being labeled a predator. Nonetheless, if the rumors turn out to be true, Michele will soon be welcoming child number three. In the meantime, here are her two kids.

While his exact birth date remains unclear, Kniko Howard was conceived sometime in 2002, when his mother was 17. He is the oldest of the two kids Draya Michele has given birth to and is between 21 and 22 years old right now. In early 2016, Howard’s paternity was being debated on social media. At that time, many believed that his father was former NBA player Gilbert Arenas. However, Michele shut down those rumors before things got out of hand. In a now-deleted Instagram post from February 2016, she made it clear that Kniko’s father was not an NBA player. She shared that Kniko’s dad, who he is named after, “lives in PA and makes an honest living being a barber.” Afterward, with the topic settled, fans backed off and laid it to rest.

Although Kniko Howard is barely seen on his mother’s social media accounts, the two seem to have a sweet relationship. In 2021, already a mother of two, Draya Michele proudly sent the oldest of her two kids off to college. She captioned the photos she posted on Instagram, “Well, It’s official. I’m a college mom. I’m so proud of you son!!!!!!” Many fans were taken by surprise at how much Kniko had grown, and they congratulated both him and his mom. For the most part, Kniko Howard maintains a very low profile. Not much is known about his personal life and interests. However, right now, he should be a junior at Georgia State University, Atlanta, where he was admitted in 2021.

A post shared by Draya Michele (@drayamichele)

On April 8, 2016, Draya Michele officially became a mother of two kids. The Real Housewives Of Hollywood star shares her son Jru Scandrick with former NFL star Orlando Scandrick. Michele announced Jru’s birth on X a week after his arrival. “I had him last week and I just wanted to take that time to enjoy him as my own little special gift,” she gushed. Since his birth, the youngster has made sparse appearances on his mother’s Instagram. Being that he is only seven years old right now, he is probably restricted from using social media, and rightly so. It is yet to be seen if Jru will choose to follow in the footsteps of either of his parents. While there’s a good possibility of that happening, he just might grow up to forge his own path.
