Foolio’s Instagram Posts Promo Video Amidst Hacking Confusion

by

Foolio’s memory has not seen rest yet. The rapper’s tragic death has been overshadowed by a series of disses and bizarre incidents on social media. The former has come about due to Foolio’s beef with Yungeen Ace. The latter, however, is still a mystery that’s unfolding. Foolio’s Instagram account was hacked on June 28. This lead to a series of posts and comments that had hip-hop fans scratching their head.

On Friday night, the rapper seemingly urged fans to follow his profile. He did so in a video that was posted directly to the Foolio Instagram. “Aye, this Foolio man,” the rapper says into the camera. “Go follow my people… I’mma put their app below… go follow [them] right now.” The caption under the video reads: “No fuel, no deal. Everything guaranteed.” It’s unnerving to watch, however, knowing the rapper himself is not behind the upload. The hacker had already struck earlier in the evening. Earlier, Foolio seemingly commented on Yungeen Ace’s diss song “Game Over.” The hacker left a trash emoji in the comment section, which prompted Ace to respond.

All this is going on while the search for Foolio’s killers persists. Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters issued a statement on who the police are looking to Newsweek. He was careful not to reveal too much, though. “These groups – I won’t name them, they know who they are,” he explained. “We’re not going to tolerate any retribution, any revenge… we’re going to watch. We’re going to pay attention to what’s going on.” The Jacksonville police have not announced any suspects. Consequently, no arrests have been made.

Lil Wayne Revises His Top 5 of All Time; Includes Drake, Leaves Out Kendrick on Recent Podcast

by

Lil Wayne has entered the chat and the timing feels right now that the beef, feud or what you ever you want to call the rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has simmered down. Since the Pop Out concert ended, or maybe even before, there’s been more chatter than ever about where Drizzy or K. Dot stand in the grand scheme of greatest rappers ever. 

But Tunechi has thoughts from his perspective. The “A Milli” rapper recently shared his top five rappers in an interview with Cam Heyward for his podcast “Not Just Football.” Check out the clip below.

Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., and Drake. 

He notably left out Kendrick. Are we surprised? Was he way off? On point or just expressing his subjective opinion?

We all know Wayne and Drake are not only friends but Weezy paved the way for the 6 God from Young Money and beyond. So makes sense after all Drake has accomplished, that he include him on his list. 

Most fans have been interested in Lil Wayne’s position on the whole beef thing, especially after Kendrick name dropped him in his hit record “Not Like Us.” 

ICYMI Dot, referred to allegations about Drake and Lil Wayne’s girlfriend during Lil Wayne’s time in prison, along with his tattoo tribute to Wayne. Lil Wayne indirectly acknowledged the incident in an interview but seemed unfazed by the controversy. So how hard did that bar really hit? 

Curiosity turned up after a clip from a recent Lil Wayne concert showed Kendrick’s track playing, leading some to wonder about Lil Wayne’s stance on the whole beef. But before you gasp, it was later clarified that this was simply a DJ’s introduction. Okay, exhale.  

Anyway I think Weezy dropping his list, naming Drake and leaving out Dot, says a lot. What do ya’ll think?

Yungeen Ace Responds To Foolio’s IG Being Hacked After His Death

by

Foolio may have died, but Yungeen Ace is keeping the beef alive. The latter has not taken his foot off the gas since Foolio’s passing. If anything, he’s doubled down. He dropped two disses, “Did It” and “Game Over,” and both are ruthless takedowns of a rapper who can no longer defend himself. Well, you’d think he wouldn’t be able to, at least. A bizarre incident happened on June 28. Foolio’s Instagram account was hacked, and the hacker decided to leave a comment on one of Ace’s posts.

The comment was left on the music video link for “Game Over.” The hacker, who has yet to be identified, posted a trash can emoji. A valid response, given the content of the song, but morbid given the fact that Foolio is not behind the keyboard. Yungeen Ace saw this comment and responded. Without missing so much as a beat, the rapper wrote: “You still f*cking with me dude.” He included two laughing emojis, and then added: “I love you 4eva.” The love on Ace’s side is, presumably, sarcastic, given how brutal his diss tracks against Foolio have been.

Yungeen Ace Showed Love To Foolio Despite His Diss Tracks

That being said, this isn’t the first time Yungeen Ace has shown love to Foolio. When the latter was involved in a 2023 shooting, Ace hopped on Instagram to wish him the best. “I’m glad you survived,” he wrote. “I love you la bra.” Foolio (the real one) wrote back: “Love you too.” This directly contradicts the celebratory tone that Ace has taken since. It does suggest, however, that peace was a possibility at one point. Yungeen Ace was asked whether he would ever squash things with Foolio during a 2021 interview with DJ Vlad.

The rapper didn’t deny the possibility, but he didn’t directly answer the question. “I really want what’s best for the city,” he explained. “I just want everybody to win, no matter what it is, what it ain’t.” Foolio also sat down with DJ Vlad to hash out the same problem. The late rapper was more direct. “It’ll prolly [end] sooner than later,” he told the host. “You never know what God got planned. I told [Ace] that a couple times. We be talking, time to time.” The interview takes on a tragic bent, knowing how Foolio passed, and how Yungeen Ace has continued to act.

Drake Sends Thank You Message To Camilla Cabello After Their Collab

by

Drake has great chemistry with female artists on record. He’s near the top of the list when it comes to rappers with classic duets. It should come as no surprise, then that his new songs with Camila Cabello, “Hot Uptown” and “UUUGLY,” are being praised. The pair sound great together, especially on the former. Cabello has sung the praises of Drake in the lead-up to the song’s release. She praised his artistry, and his kind presence in the studio. Evidently, the 6 God thought it was time to return the favor. He gave Cabello his flowers via Instagram on June 28.

Drake posted photos of him and Cabello during their “vacation.” A vacation, Cabello, revealed, during which they laid down the vocals for “Hot Uptown.” The first photo sees Drake and Cabello sitting at a table, and second sees them riding on jet skis. “Thanks for the link up @camila_cabello,” the rapper wrote in the caption. “Congrats.” Drake has a good cause to give Camila Cabello her flowers. He has struggled to get his musical footing back after losing the Kendrick Lamar battle, and their two collabs have been the best-received songs he’s dropped in months.

Camila Cabello addressed the Drake vs. Kendrick battle during a recent interview with The Times. She was with the rapper in the aftermath of “Not Like Us,” and was saddened by the impact it had on the 6 God. “Drake is such a delight,” she told the outlet. “It’s so frustrating to see people talk about someone you know in a negative way.” Cabello went a step further, and voiced her desire to see the battle come to a peaceful end. “You’re like, ‘Dang, if only you guys could just have dinner or something,’” she explained.

Cabello was also eager to work with Drake because of her adoration of hip-hop. While she’d worked with rappers before, she wanted to explore that side of her music more on her new album. “I listened to rap that I grew up with in Miami and what was popular at the time,” she told Complex Magazine. “But I didn’t listen to Illmatic and I didn’t listen to Dr. Dre and a lot of the classic hip-hop albums from before.” Well, the collaborations proved beneficial on both ends. Maybe Drake and Cabello have more hits together down the line.

Rihanna Leaves ASAP Rocky Stunned By Turning Up To GloRilla: Watch

by

Earlier this month, GloRilla dropped off her summer-ready new single, “TGIF.” So far, most fans agree that it’s a bop, and it seems like some of her celebrity peers do too. Earlier today, Rihanna took to Instagram to share a clip of herself turning up to the fun single, leaving her partner ASAP Rocky in awe.

“Happy friday,” she captioned the post. In the clip, RiRi shows off some sultry dance moves while rapping along to the song, as ASAP Rocky looks on silently. “Where my drink at?” he eventually asks, “I’m too old for this sh*t.” Clearly, Rihanna is a fan of the track, and followers can’t blame her. They’re sharing their reactions to her dance moves, and ASAP Rocky’s hilarious response, in her comments section.

Rihanna Dances To GloRilla’s New Track “TGIF”

Among the first to comment was none other than GloRilla herself, who appeared to be overjoyed to learn that Rihanna is a fan of her song. “RIRI OMGGGGGG,” she wrote alongside a series of heart-eye emojis. “I luvvv yoouuuuuuuuu.” Keke Palmer, Ice Spice, Yung Miami, and more also took to the comments section to show the Fenty icon some love. Turning up to other artists’ music isn’t the only thing keeping Rihanna occupied these days, however. Earlier this month, she revealed that she’s finally gotten started on her new album, which fans have been demanding for years.

She’s set the bar high for the upcoming project, telling Extra in April that she’s determined to make sure it’s perfect. “It’s gonna be amazing,” she explained. “It has to be — that is the only reason it’s not out yet. If I’m not feeling it and I’m not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away … There should be a show of growth, right?” What do you think of Rihanna vibing to GloRilla’s new track “TGIF”?

Yungeen Ace Ruthlessly Disses Foolio (Again) On New Song “Game Over”

by

Yungeen Ace and Foolio did not like each other. They were caught up in a deadly feud that lasted years. It may have potentially played a role in Foolio’s death. Tragedy has not stopped Ace, however. The rapper has continued to diss Foolio on record. Yungeen Ace dropped a song called “Do It” right after Foolio passed, on which he alludes to putting out a hit on someone’s life. Ace doesn’t mention names, but he knew how the verse would be perceived by the public. He decided to do it again. Worse, he decided to be more disrespectful.

Yungeen Ace dropped the song “Game Over” on June 28. The title already carries with it extremely grim connotations. The bars are even worse. “Dead on the floor, dead on arrival, Mr. 6. I’m steady screamin’ out, “F*ck the long, f*ck the 6,” Ace raps. “Four in the car and one of them dead, three got hit. I told them n**gas they don’t want no war with this sh*t.” This is where plausible deniability goes out the proverbial window. Foolio was one of four passengers in a car when he was killed. Foolio’s set is 6 Block. The number is littered throughout the entire song. Yungeen Ace isn’t even trying to be subliminal. “Game Over” literally starts with the rapper saying: “Y’all know I smoke dead people, man, you know what I’m sayin’? And I smoke 6, haha.”

The rapper went as far as to detail Foolio’s death. “5.56 increase the murder rate, ‘nother body on the way,” he spits. “Mask on, get up close, this another closed case. Don Julio shots to the face.” Foolio used the name “Julio Fulio,” and Yungeen Ace likens his death via shooting to taking shots of Don Julio tequila. Disrespectful doesn’t do the song justice. Ace’s decision to celebrate Foolio’s death so publicly could come back to haunt him, however. Especially given how blatant he’s been with his bars.

Criminal lawyer Brian Rivers analyzed Yungeen Ace’s “Do It” on social media. He claimed that the lyrics could land the rapper in serious legal trouble. “If they can link Yungeen Ace to any kind of case,” Rivers explained. “This is coming into evidence. If you dance this close to the sun, you’re gonna get f*cking burned.” Ace’s decision to not only drop a diss, but drop a second, more detailed diss, is certainly an example of dancing close to the sun. Time will tell if his career suffers as a result. His reputation, however, has already started to chip away.

Polo G’s Mother Stacia Mac Wants Restraining Order Against Daughter After Viral Shooting

by

Last week, disturbing Ring camera footage featuring Polo G’s mother Stacia Mac and her daughter Leilani surfaced online and quickly went viral. In the footage, the two of them are seemingly engaged in a heated argument when Stacia storms out of her home allegedly holding a gun. She appeared to head in Leilani’s direction before firing off a gunshot. Fortunately, nobody was injured. It looks like their relationship has taken a serious hit as a result of the incident, however.

According to new court documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Stacia recently filed for a domestic violence restraining order against her daughter. She accuses Leilani of entering her home without her knowledge on April 1 of this year and attacking her. She then alleges that she proceeded to go around the house destroying several of her belongings.

Stacia Mac & Daughter Leilani Are Still At Odds

After that, Stacia claims to have taken “defensive action” by firing off the gunshot. She called this a “desperate, last-ditch attempt” to get her daughter to leave the property. She says that Leilani’s father made arrangements for her to attend an alcohol detox facility in the days following the altercation, though it’s unclear whether or not she ended up going. In her filing, Stacia alleges that she’s done everything in her power to eliminate contact with Leilani, but continues to be brought up in her social media posts. She’s asked the judge to keep Leilani away from her homes in both Los Angeles and Georgia.

Polo G has yet to publicly address the situation. What do you think of Polo G’s mother Stacia Mac filing for a restraining order against her daughter Leilani? What about the disturbing Ring camera footage of them that surfaced online earlier this month? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tinashe Takes A Subtle Approach On New Single “Getting No Sleep”

by

Tinashe had big expectations going into this one. “Nasty,” her previous single, has been one of the most viral songs of 2024. It spawned dance challenges, memes, and the phrase “match my freak.” It also gave Tinashe’s her biggest solo hit. A follow-up to “Nasty” was going to be daunting, and the singer decided to veer left. Instead of trying to double down on the aggression on “Nasty,” Tinashe opts for a more chill direction. “Getting No Sleep” feels like the slower, subtler sequel. Which isn’t a bad thing.

The music video for “Getting No Sleep” continues the Terminator/Mad Max imagery that has defined Tinashae’s current album rollout. Sonically, though, the single is the night to “Nasty”‘s day. It boasts a stuttering drum beat and blow out bass hits. Tinashe vocals take on a more conversational pattern, as well. There are times during the verses where it sounds like she’s trying to do her best PinkPantheress impression. PinkPantheress with a little more commercial gloss. To be fair to Tinashe, she does a pretty good job emulating this sound. “Getting No Sleep” is a song that gets stuck in your head, but it won’t be the phenomenon that “Nasty” was. Which is fine. Tinashe is focused on making good music, and she’s done just that here.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
