Kai Cenat Shares His Thoughts On Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot”

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kai Cenat has given his thoughts on “Big Foot” and the Barbz aren’t going to be happy. “I didn’t like this one,” Cenat said simply before telling the Barbz not to come after him. “Y’all always say I’m not honest but this is me being honest with y’all. Not for me,” the streamer admitted on stream. It took nearly a week for Cenat to comment on the diss track dropped by Nicki Minaj last weekend.

Of course, one might expect Cenat to have backed Minaj and her diss track. The December 2023 joint stream between Kai Cenat and Minaj has set a new record for concurrent viewers for Cenat’s channel. Viewership of the stream peaked at 355.3K according to screenshots of the stream. This is reportedly a new record for Cenat. However, data from Stream Charts disputes the figure, stating that the peak was 348,593. Cenat typically averages around 34K for a regular stream. His previous record was just over 306,000 viewers.

Adin Ross Tells Kai Cenat That 21 Savage Paid Him Back

Meanwhile, Cenat made sure to check in with his friend Adin Ross after Ross was allegedly scammed by 21 Savage. During a phone call with Cenat, Ross cleared the air about the ongoing situation with 21. First, Ross made it very clear that he did not blame 21 for using marked cards during their recent high-stakes gambling stream. Instead, Ross placed the blame on a member of Savage’s crew. Furthermore, Ross confirmed that since the stream, he had received a $250K payment from 21 to settle their debt. Cenat was simply happy that Ross, a close friend of his, had “got that bread”.

It appears the pair settled on $250K after a variety of numbers were thrown around following their stream. 21 initially promised to pay Ross $400K after the streamer discovered that the rapper’s crew had brought marked cards for their gambling stream. 21 denied any knowledge of the cards. However, he said he would honor his debt and pay Ross the full amount he owed. The rapper had been down $400K at one point in the stream before making a miraculous comeback, eventually cashing out with Ross owing him $120K.

Lil Yachty & TiaCorine Get Odd On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Welcome to February: the first releases of the year are out, we’ve had time to enjoy them, and now it’s time for the big guns to come out. While this is by no means a ridiculously huge release window, our new Fire Emoji playlist update and its round-up of the best of the best hip-hop this week proves that things will only get better as 2024 draws on. Leading the way is Lil Yachty’s new single “A Cold Sunday,” one of the most creative and unique rap tracks he’s ever done. With an odd time signature, and flows and drums that adapt on a dime, it’s a dizzying but still soulful record that the Atlanta native still shines on.

Next on Fire Emoji is TiaCorine’s new eight-track offering Almost There, with a lot of colorful and aggressive highlights. However, “Blick” with Key Glock might be the best out of these, with heavy distortion and fiery performances giving off so much energy. Another project release this week was Hit-Boy and The Alchemist’s THEODORE & ANDRE EP, on which the menacing and woozy “THE MAIN EVENT” with Johnathan Hulett bangs hard. Also, Icewear Vezzo’s Live From The 6, particularly the track “Rap Game,” is your fun-to-no-end Detroit rap offering this week.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Not only that, but Fire Emoji also highlights the best singles this week, whose artists will hopefully keep grinding in 2024. For example, Don Toliver made his return with “Bandit,” an epic and wavy trap banger with his always vibrant vocal tone. In addition, That Mexican OT tapped DaBaby for “Point Em Out,” which takes all the most cold-blooded elements of many regional scenes and combines them into a trunk-knocker. We’d be remiss not to shout out NBA YoungBoy’s “BNYX Da Reaper,” too, and this collaboration is a refreshing and successful triumph for both its rapper and its producer.

Meanwhile, JT delivered the most confident and cool-as-a-cucumber performance of this whole update on “Sideways.” Finally, there’s YNW Melly and YNW BSlime teaming up for a light and croon-heavy cut, “772 Love Pt. 3 (Your Love).” Let us know in the comments section what your favorite release on this Fire Emoji update was in the comments -– and what else we missed this week, too. Check out the playlist above and come back to HNHH for the latest great music drops around the clock.

Latto Hits Ice Spice’s Home Of The Bronx For New Music Video Shoot, Fans React

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Out of all the unconfirmed yet spicy and speculated rap beefs out right now, Ice Spice and Latto is one that many fans think will boil over soon. Of course, these are all just rumors based on alleged subliminals, social media shots, and more interpretations. However, even though this is firmly riding the gossip train, we can’t deny that the signs are getting clearer and easier to draw connections between. For example, the 777 star was recently spotted filming a music video in the Like..? hitmaker’s neighborhood of the Bronx. Complete with a gaggle of security trucks and onlookers, we’ll see whether the resulting product furthers this or if it’s just a coincidence.

Furthermore, folks in the comments sections of posts below are pointing out how this isn’t really a violent or hostile issue, and thus, this doesn’t mean what it would mean in another scenario. Still, it’s curious how this connection falls amid the context of previous alleged back-and-forths between the two. Does Latto want this to be a statement or to bait Ice Spice into a lyrical spar? Or are we just reading too deeply into the whole thing -– or misinterpreting an olive branch, perhaps?

Latto Is In The Bronx For A Music Video, And Ice Spice Fans Are Heated

Overall, nothing would make us happier than these femcees dropping a hot track together to dispel these claims. Whether there were issues before or not, it would be great to see what this would represent for the rap genre, particularly for women within it, as female rap beef seems so common and exploited these days. Sure, some instances (like the current war between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj) are much more direct and fair game. But as folks pick sides in that battle (and we all know where Ice Spice and Latto stand), it ends up creating and adding to unnecessary division.

Another Angle

Meanwhile, the last instance of these two young artists throwing shots at each other had to do with a song snippet that released this weekend. Until they clear the air one way or another, we’ll have to stay on the speculative tip. But here’s hoping that no one has to step over another to get a leg up in the game. On that note, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Latto and Ice Spice.

Ice Spice And Megan Thee Stallion Fanbases Begin Feuding Thanks To Barbz Stan Account

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A new beef might brewing between the fanbases of Ice Spice and Megan Thee Stallion. “if ice spice who is a new artist is “untalented” bc she has “one flow” & she twerks on stage, what does that make of Megan?” a Nicki Minaj account wrote, sparking tensions between the two sides. The tweet quickly spread across musical Twitter, garnering nearly 100,000 views in a few hours and garnering responses from both sides.

“An actual performer who can do more than just scream “grah,” one Megan fan retorted. “When was the last time Big Foot was spotted on Spotify chart?” an anti-Nicki account shot back. “Ice is giving saweetie with the same flow in every song and no stage performance. Saweetie was killing it in 2020 but she fell off bc she wasn’t talented that’s what gonna happen to ice,” another person concurred. How do you feel about the situation? Let us know what you think in the comments.

However, Ice Spice has her focus set on a feud with Latto. Spice renewed her beef with the Columbus femcee during a Spaces AMA this week. while answering fan questions, Spice went off about Latto playing the music video for “Pretty Girl” in the background of a recent video. “Why am I in the back of your weak a– snippet? I thought it was fake, I thought it had to be AI but no. Like be bold, but if you’re going to talk about me, then talk about me. Why am I in the back of your weak a– snippet?” Spice sounded off to the collection of shocked listeners.

This latest barrage from the Bronx rapper comes after she dropped “Think U The Shit (Fart)” in which she took direct shots at Latto. It’s still unclear what caused the beef to initially kick off. However, fans immediately drew battle lines. Latto is yet to directly respond to both Spice’s new single and the latest comments about the surprise cameo in her latest snippet. Whose side are you on? Let us know in the comments.

Karlissa Saffold Begs Kim Kardashian To Get Blueface Out Of Jail, Shades Chrisean Rock

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no surprise that Blueface’s recent arrest has sparked huge reactions from countless fans. Of course, it’s also taken a major hit on the mother of his third child, Chrisean Rock. Since he’s been behind bars, the Baddies star has been showing love to the “Thotiana” rapper on social media, even recently getting a huge tattoo of his mugshot on her face. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been received well by the rapper’s mother, Karlissa Saffold. She recently called Chrisean’s new ink “absolutely f*cking cr*zy.”

However, they can agree on their desire for Blueface to come home. Saffold has been consistently posting on social media calling for her son’s release since his arrest. She even recently called on none other than Kim Kardashian for help, prompting fans to do the same.

Karlissa Saffold Wants Blueface On House Arrest

According to Saffold, however, she’s not asking for her son to be let completely off the hook. She simply asks that he be put on house arrest, so he can continue to spend time with his kids. “CAN YOU HELP ME GET MY BOY OUT AND ON HOUSE ARREST,” she posted on her Instagram Story alongside a photo of Kim. “FOR JAVAUGHN’S SAKE.” In a subsequent post, she reiterated that she still wants Blueface to take accountability for his actions, expressing fear that his son is “worrying day and night.”

She later posted a DM she received from a fan, who argued that Javaughn wouldn’t be able to visit Blueface either way, as Jaidyn Alexis wouldn’t let him now that Chrisean is living with him. Her response was simple, however, suggesting that he move back in with Jaidyn. “The judge can put him in his son’s room,” she wrote. It’s safe to say that neither Chrisean nor Jaidyn would be too pleased with this arrangement. What do you think of Karlissa Saffold asking Kim Kardashian for help getting Blueface out of jail? Do you agree that house arrest would be better for him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Fabolous Shades Mystery Opp On IG Before Dropping “Calling You Up” Freestyle

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fabolous is feeling fiery these days for multiple reasons, and an Instagram Story post from Friday (February 2) is the main reason why, fans think. Moreover, he addressed a mystery enemy with some short but scathing statements: “I saved your reputation by only telling my side of the story. Stay humble.” Of course, the New York MC could be talking about anyone here, and fans also have a new piece of “evidence” to unpack for more answers. He released a music video for the “Calling You Up Freestyle” on Saturday (February 3), another reimagining of a recent Drake beat. He flows really well on it, has some sharp and boastful bars, and even references Drizzy’s Her Loss partner 21 S*vage, echoing the Toronto superstar’s own line about the Slaughter Gang spitter on that instrumental.

Alas, there’s not much to gain here when it comes to this unknown feud, as there are little to no bars that seem particularly pointed. That’s not to say it’s not good, as the performance and charisma here is still solid. Furthermore, that’s a talent that Fabolous has always championed and represented, but something that he’s reminding younger generations of a lot these days. For example, another of his recent freestyles is the cut “Snooze,” and it lives up to his Freestyle Friday series’ high bar of quality control.

Fabolous’ Cryptic IG Shots

However, there is one freestyle that opened up some family wounds, namely the installment “Selfish” which seems to address his estranged relationship with his stepdaughter, Taina Williams. “Selfishness will make someone comment under your pic,” Fabolous raps on the song. “When he took care of you and your mama since you were six/ Who selfish?/ Maybe we all are.” Many felt that this was a direct shot at Williams, who blasted him as an absent father in a comment under his 2022 post congratulating his then-two-year-old daughter Journey.

“Calling For You Freestyle”: Watch The Music Video

“This post is hilarious,” Taina expressed along with crying-laughing emojis. “‘Might not know when you going thru it, but you’ll get it at the end’ Is Translation for = I haven’t taken care of my daughter in almost a year & don’t even ask about her well being because IDC. [And] Im bitter & I’m only a father to my two beautiful sons who I can manipulate. Stop playing with the internet.” For more news and the latest updates on Fabolous, stay posted on HNHH.
