Baka Not Nice Seemingly Addresses Kendrick Lamar’s “Weird Case” Diss In Cryptic Statement

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Baka Not Nice has seemingly addressed Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss, in which the Compton rapper accuses the longtime OVO member of having a “weird case.” In 2015, he pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman and was sentenced to six months in jail. Additionally, he was charged with forcing the woman into prostitution, but that case was dropped when she refused to testify.

On Sunday, he shared a picture of himself on his Instagram Story with a caption that seemingly addressed the situation. “I STAY WITH INTELLIGENT PPL I’M NOT A FOLLOWER YOU CAN’T LEAD ME TO NO SLAUGHTER MEN LIE WOMAN LIE BUT PAPERWORK CAN’T,” he wrote.

Baka isn’t the only member of OVO that Lamar brings up on the song. He raps: “They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs / And Party at the party playin’ with his nose now / And Baka got a weird case, why is he around? / Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles.” Drake fired back in response to the remarks with the song, “The Heart Part 6,” which he dropped a day after Lamar’s track. He raps: “Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected / If I was f*cking young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested / I’m way too famous for this sh*t you just suggested.” In the weeks since the chaotic weekend during which both artists dropped several diss tracks, the two have been silent.

Jalen Brunson Gets Brutally Honest On Knicks’ Season After Breaking Hand In Game 7

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jalen Brunson couldn’t find many positive takeaways from the New York Knicks’ season after the team lost to the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Sunday afternoon. He got brutally honest with members of the media in a press conference while discussing his performance as well as the hand injury that sidelined him for the second half of the game.

As for whether this season was a success, he said blatantly: “No… Did we win the championship? Did we get close? So, no. That’s my mindset. That’s just how it is.” Brunson fractured his hand while defending Tyrese Haliburton at the rim in the third quarter. “I thought I just jammed it, to be honest with you,” he admitted, before revealing that he could tell “something was wrong.”

As for his season as a whole, Brunson was highly critical of his play. “I would say there’s pros and cons to how I played,” he said. “The pros, obviously, are I played well individually at some points in the playoffs. The cons are that I didn’t play well enough to help my team move forward. You can say I got hurt in Game 7, I wasn’t playing well in Game 7. We had a 2-0 and a 3-2 lead, it’s just hard to look at things individually when you don’t help your team.”

TI Recalls Hearing Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” For The 1st Time At Usher’s House

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

TI says that he was at a barbecue at Usher’s house when he heard Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” for the first time. He detailed the moment the party caught wind of the diss track during a recent interview on Big Boy’s Neighborhood.

T.I. began by revealing that he’s been hearing the song played in the clubs. “I was at Usher’s house. We were having a little get-together. A barbecue or what have you,” he began. He added: “Any social circle you gather during that time period, that’s gonna be the conversation. So everybody was, just as you said, listening to the records as they dropped.” He then explained that as they were listening to “Family Matters,” T.I. noticed that “Not Like Us” dropped. “Those are moments that hip-hop created,” he said. From there, he revealed that they all went to the club and both diss tracks played. “It all stimulates the attention of this thing that we do, what we know and love so much. So, I think that any time you got two giants in a field that are worthy opponents, you know that can match wits with one another, I feel like it’s gon’ be good for the game,” he said.

While he does feel its good for the game of hip-hop, he did, however, add: “I will say this, they done kinda f**ked it up for some other people who were planning to drop, you know what I’m saying, in this period. I think the people were like, ‘D**n, I was gon’ drop but, you know, let me just see this through.’” Check out his full comments on the matter below.
