DJ Allegedly Kicked Out Of Toronto Club After Playing Drake Diss “Not Like Us”

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The effects of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” are still being felt. The single solidified Lamar’s victory over Drake in the great rap battle of 2024. It also topped the Billboard Hot 100, giving Lamar his second solo number one. The single’s quotable lines and catchy beat have made it fodder for clubs, but it seems as though bringing the song to the 6 is a bridge too far. A self-proclaimed DJ was reportedly booted from a Toronto club after he dared to throw on “Not Like Us” during a set.

The claim originated from the X account @OGxTP on May 27. The user claimed that he witnessed a DJ suffer real-time consequences for playing an anti-Drake song at the club Silent H. “Brah we was at a club in Toronto last night,” he wrote. “The DJ played ‘Not Like Us’ they kicked bruh out the club and told him he not gettin paid lmao.” The claim quickly gained traction on the platform, but others stepped forward with contradictory information. Another self-proclaimed Toronto DJ, Mike Don’t, posted a screenshot of an Instagram exchange.

X Users Claimed The Drake Diss Incident Was False

The exchange saw Mike Don’t ask about the alleged “Not Like Us” incident. According to his source, however, the DJ was not kicked out. In fact, people who were attempting to bully the DJ into not playing “Not Like Us” were the ones allegedly booted. “No he didn’t get kicked out,” the source stated. “Some guys tried to pressure him to not play Kendrick but the guys who tried it got kicked out lol.” Another X user tweeted @OGxTP with more contradictory information.

The user not only included the Mike Don’t Instagram exchange, but another X exchange between someone who attended Silent H. “I was at Silent H last night and didn’t see this at all,” the alleged attendee noted. The user, @sryidkwhyimhere, accused @OGxTP of lying to users about the whole incident. “you LIED about the dj getting kicked out and not getting paid,” they replied, before adding more information. “I just watched the DJ’s Instagram stories and it also shows you’re lying.”

As it stands, there’s far more evidence to suggest the Drake diss incident didn’t happen.

Vory’s Alleged Reference Track For Drake’s “Mob Ties” Leaks Online

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s had a controversial history with reference tracks. The 2015 reference track for “10 Bands” was what sparked the rumor that the rapper used ghostwriters, and he has struggled to live them down ever since. Kendrick Lamar mentioned ghostwriters during his recent battle with Drake, and every couple of months, it seems as though another reference track for a Drake song makes its way online. The latest is “Mob Ties,” which was a single on his 2018 double album, Scorpion.

“Mob Ties” has multiple credited songwriters. Drake is one of them, then Allen Ritter and Boi-1da, both of whom produce the song. The Firm and the Trackmasters are also credited, which makes sense given that “Mob Ties” samples the 1996 Nas single “Affirmative Action.” Vory is the only one songwriter who isn’t part of OVO or the artists who made “Affirmative Action.” His involvement in “Mob Ties” was never made clear, but if the leaked reference is to be believed, Vory wrote the bulk of the song. The version he did has a very similar structure, and only a few differences in terms of lyrics.

Vory Was A Credited Writer On Drake’s 2018 Single

— Pusha Thanos !!! (new acc) (@PushaThanos__) May 28, 2024

To be clear, this is not a ghostwriting situation. Vory is credited on the final version of “Mob Ties,” just like he is on Bryson Tiller’s 2015 single “Don’t.” Vory also pops up all over Kanye West’s 2021 album Donda. The artist is a frequent behind-the-scenes presence for some of the biggest names in rap. The notion of him penning a song for Drizzy is, consequently, not a surprise.

Vory’s involvement with “Mob Ties” has been debated in the past. DJ Akademiks claimed Vory didn’t have any involvement with the song during a Twitch stream, only to look it up and realize he was wrong. “[Vory] is credited,” he asserted. “But he ain’t write nothing.” This reference track upends DJ Akademiks’ theory outright. That being said, Vory has not yet verified that the reference is real.

A reference track for Drake’s 2023 song “Calling for You” was leaked online, only for the artist credited on the reference track, Cash Cobain, to refute it. The rapper/producer hopped on Instagram to post an image of Allen Iverson. In other words, the reference was as fake as Iverson’s famous fake pass move. AI-generated content is making it harder than ever to determine what’s real. Ironic, given Drake’s own use of AI for his “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

DJ Akademiks Claims Fans Are Hate-Botting Drake’s New Songs

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake has seen brighter days. The rapper’s popularity has taken a hit since he lost the Kendrick Lamar battle. The last diss that he issued towards Lamar, “The Heart Part 6,” wound up with more dislikes than likes on YouTube. The next single he appeared on, “U My Everything,” fell victim to the same ratio. Drake is losing fans by the day, it seems, but DJ Akademiks thinks there’s something fishy about the stats. The avid 6 God supporter claimed that there’s a concentrated effort to make the rapper’s “fall” seem more significant than it actually is.

DJ Akademiks rolled out his conspiracy theory on May 26. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to note the overwhelmingly harsh response to the aforementioned songs. He also included Drake’s second Lamar diss, “Family Matters,” in his statement. “Either n**gas hating on Drake or n**gas hate botting his latest releases,” Ak wrote. “His last 2 releases has more dislikes than likes on YouTube. The Heart Part 6 and his newest feature on Sexyy Redd song. And family matters has over 400k dislikes on YouTube. Very abnormal.”

Drake’s Last Three Songs Have Been Ratio’d

Either niggas hating on Drake or niggas hate botting his latest releases.

His last 2 releases has more dislikes than likes on YouTube. the heart part 6 and his newest feature on Sexyy redd song . And family matters has over 400k dislikes on YouTube. Very abnormal. pic.twitter.com/2ht0rs3SAF

— DJ Akademiks (@Akademiks) May 26, 2024

While it’s admittedly strange to see Drake songs consistently perform poorly, the rapper is dealing with public fallout that he’s never had to deal with before. Lamar turned his Drake disses into hits, with “Not Like Us” and “Euphoria” peaking at number one and three on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. Drake, meanwhile, struggled to crack the top ten with his disses. Drake’s music has also seen a downturn in streaming. His numbers were reportedly down 5% the week of May 3-6.

Drake’s feature on Sexxy Red’s “U My Everything” proves that he’s not been able to shake the Lamar battle. Instead of ignoring the battle, and his various targets outright, he decided to flip Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy” beat and change the meaning of the title. It was a decent idea in theory, but enough time had passed to where fans felt as though it fell flat. “U My Everything” is suffering from post-Kendrick Lamar fallout, much in the same way that J. Cole’s verse is on the Cash Cobain single “Grippy.” Both rappers are struggling to get their footing back.

DJ Akademiks might be right in terms of there being too much Drake hate, but it’s also worth noting that dislikes and mockery come with the territory when you decide to go to battle. The 6 God will be fine, but it might take longer than he or Ak want it to.

Chris Paul May Be Set For A Reunion With The Clippers This Offseason

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to Marc Stein’s most recent essay, Chris Paul may rejoin the Clippers this summer. If the 39-year-old point guard becomes a free agency, Stein is told by sources that many clubs would be interested in signing him. Among them is Los Angeles. Paul was a franchise star during the “Lob City” period and stayed with the team for six years. He has previously mentioned the Lakers and Spurs as possible teams for the 12-time All-Star to sign with. After Golden State lost in the play-in round, Paul told reporters last month that he had no intention of retiring. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he wanted to keep him around because “he still had good years left.”

Stein asserts that Chris Paul would rather remain near his family in Los Angeles. Paul, who will get a non-guaranteed $30MM contract for the upcoming season, will need to first qualify for free agency. With an early salary guarantee expiring on June 28, the Warriors will have a little over a month to determine if he is worth the financial commitment. Paul’s salary can be guaranteed by Golden State, or the franchise can trade Paul to another team. It might be possible to extend the guarantee date with Paul’s approval.

Chris Paul may Be Reuniting With The Clippers

Clippers reportedly eyeing Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry as backup point guards https://t.co/jhFUGzI7Hc

— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) May 27, 2024

Chris Paul would be making a comeback to the Clippers. He was a five-time All-Star during his six years as the Lob Thrower for the Lob City Clippers. Paul gave the Warriors a significant boost in the non-Curry minutes of the previous campaign. He demonstrated his ability to lead a second unit. It is generally anticipated that James Harden will re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers this summer. The Beard will be the starting point guard when they open play at the brand-new Intuit Center in October of next year. Chris Paul will serve as the backup floor general.

Paul would be a good addition on a veteran minimum deal and a good choice for limited minutes off the bench. Paul could choose to stay in Los Angeles with his family, which would make the potential reunion all the more enticing. Overall, CP3 might be headed back to the team he led for some time, being a backup to Harden, with whom he may still not be on good terms.

Fans Theorize That Doja Cat Is Dissing Her Dad On Social Media

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat doesn’t care what people thinks. She’s become one of the most provocative pop stars of the 2020s, and a lot of her provocation is aimed at those close to her. Doja has criticized her fans for taking her music and artistry too seriously, and her latest Instagram post has those same fans theorizing that she’s turned her ire towards a member of her own family. The “Agora Hills” singer doesn’t mention anybody by name, but there are some clues as to who it could be.

Doja Cat posted two seemingly random photos of herself on May 26. The first was close up of her face with a shocked expression. The second, even more bizarrely, was of her backside with a robe covering it. It would have been tricky to make heads or tails of the post’s meaning, but the caption added a level of significance that caught fans off guard. “I’m gonna turn you into my next project and you’re gonna have to listen to it for the rest of your god forsaken life,” she wrote. No elaboration, or hashtags hinting at her target. The widely accepted theory is that Doja Cat was talking about her father, Dumisani Dlamini.

Doja Cat Criticized Her Father For Being A “Deadbeat”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Doja Cat (@dojacat)

Dlamini is an actor and dancer hailing from South Africa. He has praised Doja Cat’s success in various outlets, but the two have never actually met in person. Doja talked about the psychological impact this had on her as a child during a 2021 profile with Rolling Stone. “I felt confused, a little bit,” she recalled. “It’s a little strange to see everybody else with their dad, and you didn’t even really have one.” She has spoken highly of Dlamani’s skills as a performer, but made it clear that was not an influence on her own career.

The piece of evidence that the father theory is Doja Cat’s X bio. The singer recently changed her bio to specifically refer to Dlamini’s absence. “My dad’s a deadbeat but I did well,” it currently reads. Doja had more to say about Dlamini in an Instagram Story. On May 27, the singer spun a makeup tutorial into a scathing indictment of her father’s character. “Dad, let me know when/if you need me to re-up your makeup cabinet because you are a b*tch.” Seems like an open-and-shut case.
