This collaboration arrives as Metro Boomin’s name is back in the spotlight, following the release of his highly anticipated album “We Still Don’t Trust You” with Future.

The color scheme reflects Metro Boomin’s dynamic style and his flair for making bold statements, both in his music and personal aesthetic.

A contrasting white Swoosh adorns the sides, adding a sharp touch. This vibrant color scheme perfectly encapsulates the essence of a thunderstorm.

Nicki Minaj Reportedly Arrested In Amsterdam For Drug Possession, Blasts Police Online

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On her tour travels, Nicki Minaj was reportedly arrested on Saturday (May 25) in Amsterdam for drug possession, an odd development considering the Netherlands’ marijuana laws. However, it seems like authorities failed to properly inform her of her own situation, as she took to Instagram Live to document authorities searching her bags and her argument with Dutch police. The Trinidadian superstar has also updated the situation via Twitter, relaying that they made her miss her flight to Manchester and that this is all allegedly a ploy to inspire negative stories about her. Needless to say, it’s all a very complex and unclear situation as of writing this article.

Nevertheless, we hope for the best for Nicki Minaj amid this stressful time, and hope that she continues her trek safely and without further interruption. After all, it seems odd that this would happen in Amsterdam, especially when many other shows on the Pink Friday 2 tour took place without a hiccup. Regardless, she’s got a second North American leg coming up, which obviously prompted a very excited response from the Barbz and fans who didn’t get a chance to catch the first one. Sadly, this news dampens that hype a little bit, as listeners now fear that the “FTCU” MC will face more scrutiny moving forward.

However, the Pink Friday 2 world tour has been wildly successful thus far, and not even this situation seems to have slowed it down one bit. As such, we can probably expect some more amazing shows moving forward, as long as Nicki Minaj is able to resolve this and law enforcement cooperates accordingly. Hopefully we get some more clarification on what exactly happened here soon, as fans are demanding answers online. Especially for die-hards in Manchester, they are watching the clock and hoping for the best outcome.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj also found herself in the headlines recently for other reasons that she would probably dismiss as purely salacious. Jaguar Wright recently claimed during an interview that Nicki was the one who leaked the alleged audio of Diddy and Meek Mill. Her past relationship with Meek continues to inform and provide context for their careers, albeit in an ugly way now. We’ll see what else happens with this Amsterdam case, and how else Roman navigates her status in the rap game.

Diddy Is Reportedly Frustrated With Cassie Footage’s Release

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy had already responded to the video of him assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway amid his various other accusations, but it seems like he might have harbored some resentment. Moreover, an alleged source close to his camp reportedly spoke to The Post recently to speak on his reaction and perspective concerning that footage. Apparently, Sean Combs is convinced that the sudden release of that clip is part of an agenda against him, and that it doesn’t tell the full story of what really went down that day. Of course, take this information with a grain of salt, as this is an unconfirmed claim that isn’t reflected in his apology video.

“He’s incensed,” the alleged source claimed of Diddy’s thoughts on the Cassie video. “Especially about the video. He insists it doesn’t tell the full story about what happened. Not that he’s excusing it, but he says that it’s a selected video. It’s his position that there was an agenda in releasing the video when it was released. But ultimately, he knows that his big concern is the raids on his house; the Cassie video is just a distraction.”

Diddy Allegedly Angry With Cassie Footage

Meanwhile, this is what Cassie had to say when this footage spread like wildfire on social media, which she relayed via Instagram. “Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet,” she said of the Diddy situation. “The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.

“Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously,” Cassie continued concerning Diddy. “My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in. I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don’t cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thank you. Love Always, Cassie.”

Key Glock Is Keeping Fans Fed With “Q Dogz”

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While Kendrick Lamar and Drake have definitely been the main characters during May, Key Glock is not too far behind them. The Young Dolph protege continues be as hot as anyone due to the quality of his singles this month. Fans are definitely still hungry for a new album, especially after how great Glockoma 2 was. But do not take what Key Glock is doing for granted at this moment in time.

According to a press release, the reason for the Memphis, Tennessee rapper consistently dropping over these last 24 days is because of a pre-planned schedule. Sources close to him are calling this the May Takeover, which is seeing him drop five songs during the fifth month of the calendar. “Q Dogz” clocks in as the third entry and it is definitely up for the best out of the tracks we have gotten. For those who are not aware, his previous efforts include “The Greatest” and “F*** Around & Find Out.”

Listen To “Q Dogz” By Key Glock

“Q Dogz” is Key Glock taking the intimidating and braggadocious approach. Even though he is rapping about grisly violence, there are some introspective bars laced throughout too. His definition of living a fulfilling life is being there for his daughter and making as much money as possible. But he is also making it clear to not take his soft side as a weakness. “How dare these f*** n****s to call out me? (Dang, the f***? Fah, fah) / How dare these f*** n****s try somethin’? / N****s rappin’ ’bout bodies, ain’t gone one (Nah).” These lyrics have extra credibility, especially with the haunting instrumental backing it. Glock’s takeover is not just narrowed to this month, but he continues to be impressive with still one week to go.

What are your thoughts on “Q Dogz” by Key Glock? Is this his best song as of late, why or why not? Do you think he is the hottest rapper right now, why or why not? Does this get you excited for his next project? Does he have one of the best sets of ears for beats? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Key Glock. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Ayy, my lil’ n****s steppin’ like some Q Dogs (Woo)
Get money and my daughter the only thing that makes me cool off (Yeah)
Ayy, they say life is short, b**** (B****), that’s why my money too tall (Run up)
Tryna run away from this switch, n**** (Fah, fah, fah, fah, fah, fah)
F*** around, knock his shoe off (Fah, fah, fah, fah), yeah, yeah (Yeah)

Kanye West Battery Investigation Over Alleged Assault Reportedly In Limbo

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While authorities were investigating Kanye West for alleged battery, it seems like now things are going to be more complicated for them to get to the bottom of. Moreover, TMZ reportedly spoke to law enforcement sources about the case, who revealed that everyone involved in the debacle went missing in action. Specifically, neither twin brothers Mark and Jonnie Houston nor Ye himself have reportedly ignored authorities’ request that they cooperate with the case in order for it to move forward. For those unaware, the Chicago artist stands accused of assaulting one of the two after they allegedly sexually assaulted his wife, Bianca Censori.

Furthermore, this all went down at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont back in April, and came under a fair bit of scrutiny from law enforcement. Despite Kanye West’s camp’s claims, authorities found no evidence of either Houston twin assaulting Bianca Censori when they checked security camera footage. For what it’s worth, law enforcement reportedly hopes that this all means that the two parties were able to work the issue out privately. Apparently, there just isn’t enough in the case as it stands to take it to Los Angeles’ City Attorney’s office.

Even though this is still technically an open case, the current status of things indicates that it probably won’t see full legal resolution any time soon. Elsewhere, Kanye West is busy making his moves behind the scenes to set up his next project, presumably the sequel to his Ty Dolla $ign collab album VULTURES 1. In fact, he allegedly gave Adin Ross an unreleased track of his, which he was very happy to play during his stream. We don’t know exactly what’s happening with that album series, but it’s Yeezy: of course things didn’t go exactly as planned.

Meanwhile, speaking of legal trouble over alleged assault, Kanye West’s dismissive comments about Diddy recently resurfaced due to new footage of him abusing Cassie releasing online. Sure, he is no stranger to controversy and alleged atrocities himself, but seeing this rift in a different context has captivated some fans. We’ll see whether either case gets a significant update soon. But don’t bet on it, as it looks like this battery investigation will stay unresolved.

Russ Interpolates A 2000’s R&B Bop With “Best Friend” Featuring Melii

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Russ is one of many rappers who has gone unconscious in 2024. The longtime New Jersey rapper and singer has been rattling off single after single like nobody’s business. Since the month of January, the 31-year-old has put forth eight tracks. Throughout the year, he has been going introspective and talking a lot about loving, broken, and causal relationships.

“Best Friend” is one of those shallow love cuts from Russ, but it seems that he wants to move into a more serious situation. “Don’t look no farther (Don’t) / I’m here to cater to you / ‘Cause I’ll be your lover (Yeah, I’ll be your lover) / I’ll be your best friend (Yeah, come here).” Then, the feature, which is provided by Melii, tells the story from her side. “Baby, tryna be my number uno / The perfect duo, I can tell.”

Listen To “Best Friend” By Russ & Melii

If that chorus that we highlighted sounds somewhat familiar, that is because it is an interpolation of 2000’s throwback. Russ and his fleet of producers, which includes Boi-1da, are looking to modernize the Baby Bash and Akon track “Baby, I’m Back.” That song dropped back on the former’s 2005 record Super Saucy. It is not a bad attempt, as this version is a little raunchier in some respects. Check out “Best Friend” with the link.

What are your thoughts on “Best Friend” by Russ and Melii? Is this his best release over the last few months, why or why not? Do you think it is about time for Russ to announce a new project? Who had the stronger performance? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Russ and Melii. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

You got that gorilla grip, I’m goin’ ape s*** (Haha)
You don’t like bein’ told what to do, unless you naked (Come here)
Prada but naked, fly lil’ vibe
Put you on a jet, now that’s a fly lil’ vibe
P***y match the face on the Rollie that I bought her (Let’s go)
Pretty pink jawbreaker, ask my God, stop her (Yeah)

Diddy Walk Of Fame Star In Hollywood Can’t Be Removed, Alleged Insider Reveals

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With so many sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking lawsuits and accusations against Diddy, people are thinking a lot about his reputation. More specifically, they are considering his massive influence, financial stake, and ubiquity in the entertainment sphere, a presence that these allegations are shifting quite dramatically. Moreover, folks are reacting to Sean Combs’ legacy change in real time, although some initiatives to de-platform him in the wake of these alleged crimes seem more futile than others. For example, an alleged representative for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce reportedly spoke to TMZ about one particularly visible and popular accolade of his: his Walk of Fame star.

If you’re unfamiliar, Diddy had previously gotten a spot on the iconic Hollywood attraction in 2008, all for a career that was then-unencumbered by these accusations. However, the Chamber has reportedly not discussed removing his star yet, and this spokesperson doesn’t have much hope for the chances of doing so. They explained that, while the Chamber has permission to nominate honorees, craft and place the stars with help from the city, and carry out the Walk of Fame installation ceremony, it doesn’t have the authority to physically remove stars from the block. As such, it looks like this will permanently celebrate Puff Daddy even as public favor wanes and wanes.

Meanwhile, celebrities and large media figures like 50 Cent are taking the offensive when it comes to this Diddy situation. Some of them have been unfiltered and staunch in their condemnation of his alleged actions. While sometimes it’s for jokes and other times it’s with a more serious note, it makes it clear that there are many people in the industry that do not want to associate with the Bad Boy mogul anymore, or maybe even in the first place. Either way, there’s a much different context surrounding things now.

Still, there are those in Diddy’s life that seem ready to defend him and their family amid these allegations, including his own sons. They recently teased new music coming soon, and follows up their denial of any and all accused wrongdoing. He has a tough hill to climb, and the Cassie footage ensured that public perception will always skew against him. Now, what we have to see is whether a court of law reaches the same conclusion.
