The energetic track, which was released a day before the LP as a single, leads with some quick bars from Flau’jae about starting from the bottom and coming out on top.

“His energy and talent pushed me to new heights,” she also added. Flau’jae later took to social media to show off just how much she admires his verse, rapping the entire thing with ease in a video that quickly went viral.

Druski Claims He Warned People Not To “Sleep On Canadians” Before Rick Ross Fight

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Druski said he warned everyone about Canadians. After reports of a violent altercation between Rick Ross and his crew and purported Drake associates over the weekend, everyone raised their eyebrows. The occurrence happened at the Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver, and the news spread like wildfire. Fueled by viral video footage capturing the intense brawl. As tensions increased, multiple video clips emerged which showed a heated exchange that escalated into a physical altercation between Ross’s entourage and the alleged Drake affiliates. The chaotic scene unfolded abruptly, capturing moments of confrontation and physical altercation, showcasing the raw intensity of the incident.

The belief is that the DJ at the event played Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us,” which caused tensions to rise. It’s been a couple days now and things seemed to have cooled down. However, amidst the aftermath, TMZ seized the opportunity to inquire about the incident while running into Druski and DJ Drama at the airport. Druski made a quick and candid comment when asked about the incident.

DJ Drama And Druski In The Airport

“I told y’all don’t sleep on those Canadians, I told ya’ll,” Druski said in response to TMZ‘s question about the incident. His remark suggested that Canadians mean business when it comes to defending their own. As HNHH previously reported, a news account on social media by the name of 6ixaktv reposted the video on IG, and Drake liked the post. The caption read, “@richforever met the BC demons at his show tonight…He shouldn’t have played @kendricklamar hit record.” Moreover, the feud continues.

In addition to drama over the weekend, the BET awards ignited some mixed opinions on the topic of who should have won best new artist. During the same brief exchange at LAX, TMZ asked if they believed Sexyy Red was unfairly snubbed. DJ Drama candidly expressed his opinion, stating, “Yeah, I think she should have won.” However, the conversation quickly pivoted to acknowledge Tyla’s undeniable appeal and talent. DJ Drama was quick to highlight Tyla’s strengths, noting, “Tyla’s dope too, and she’s beautiful.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Under Federal Criminal Investigation

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment, is under federal criminal investigation. Earlier this year, Homeland Security agents raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami. Now, insiders have confirmed that federal authorities in the Southern District of New York have notified Combs’ legal team about the ongoing investigation. Sources revealed that a federal grand jury is currently hearing evidence, although no charges appear imminent at this time. Both the U.S. Attorney’s Office and Combs’ lawyers have declined to comment on the situation.

CBS News reported that while Combs is a subject of the investigation, there is no indication that prosecutors are seeking an indictment from the grand jury. Legal experts note that being a subject of an investigation implies involvement within the scope of the inquiry, but does not necessarily mean charges will be brought against him.

The allegations continue to raise questions about whether Diddy will faces any criminal charges.

Young Thug & YSL RICO Trial: Lawyer At Judge’s Ex-Parte Meeting Finally Divulges On It

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you’ve been following the Young Thug and YSL RICO trial, you know that things are currently on hold due to Judge Ural Glanville’s ex-parte meeting with a witness (YSL Woody), Woody’s lawyer Kayla Bumpus, a court reporter, prosecutor Simone Hilton, and another prosecutor. For those unaware, an ex-parte meeting refers to a motion, hearing, or order requested by, and granted to, a single party in a court case. Specifically, Thugger’s lawyer Brian Steel asked for the recusal of Judge Glanville on the notion that this meeting violated various rules in the trial, including witness collusion for the benefit of the state.

“The problem with the meeting is not what was discussed,” Bumpus told The Shade Room‘s Justin Carter of this meeting in the Young Thug trial. “It’s that Mr. Copeland [YSL Woody] was already a sworn witness. So defense council should have at least known about the meeting. I did not tell Attorney Steel [about the meeting]. I do not know who told Attorney Steel. But once they told him, he came and questioned me and I then did give him a rundown of what happened in the meeting.”

Furthermore, Bumpus was allegedly filling in for a colleague in the Young Thug trial, and specifically for his ex-parte meeting. At press time, the court must wait for another judge to rule on the recusal motion and determine what will become of this YSL case. “We don’t want you in custody,” one of the prosecutors reportedly told YSL Woody. “I can’t say that any other different way, but we don’t want you in custody. The only thing that’s holding you is refusing to testify.”

YSL Woody had attempted to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights on the stand when he responded to a question about how old he was. Also, he tried to refuse immunity and be a state witness, but he ended up cooperating. In addition, Bumpus claimed that, while she didn’t tell Young Thug’s lawyer about the meeting, she did reveal more info about it once he asked. We’ll see whether these extra details and deliberations shift the tide of the case, or if things will go back to our regularly scheduled (and chaotic) court program.

NLE Choppa Hilariously Reacts To A Fan Licking Him At A Basketball Game

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NLE Choppa is very comfortable with his sexuality and with lewd topics and acts, but even he has his limits when it comes to meeting his fans in person. Moreover, a new TikTok clip is going viral online, and it shows a fan licking him at a basketball game while he was saying hello to his supporters. Once the woman licks the Memphis rapper, you can see him immediately turn away with a comically surprised and almost disgusted face before moving right onto the next fan. Many folks online believe that he could interpret this as sexual assault, and posited that this would become a much more controversial situation if it was from a man to a woman instead of the other way around.

Nevertheless, NLE Choppa appreciates all of his fans, and particularly showed love to the LGBTQIA2+ community during Pride Month for their support of his smash hit, “SLUT ME OUT 2.” “I want to perform Slut Me Out 2 at a pride event in return of the love you all showed me,” he tweeted. “I’m secure, I know who I am,” the 21-year-old clapped back at a homophobic user who replied to this message. “Show love it won’t hurt and also You do know women are apart of the LGBTQ community right you gone hate them too ? I mean at the least appreciate the women in that community if everything else make you uncomfortable king.”

Elsewhere, NLE Choppa also chimed in about the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, and he has a pretty “peace and love” approach to it. “I feel like the win is more so not about who got the most streams or what song is the best,” he told Billboard. “I think the win is more so how you handle the success you got from all that controversy. [The] win’ll be like something like both of them coming together and doing a song together. I think the win is doing something similar to when Drake and Meek was having their feud. Like, they did what they did, but they came back as men to shake hands and made a song. That’s what we need to see.”

“I think the win is like, you know, how Kendrick go home and feel about it. How Drizzy will go home and feel about it,” NLE Choppa added. “I think the win would be like both of them coming together and doing a song together, I think that’s one of the most beautiful wins.” “I can kill you on the beat and then I call you and be like ‘Hey bro, I’m done f***ing with you,’” he said of his Blueface beef.

Lil Wayne Reveals His Ultimate Dream Collab

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Wayne is an accomplished musician who has collaborated with countless stars over his career. However, there’s one collaboration in particular that still on his wish list. During a candid interview on Not Just Football with Cam Heyward, Weezy opened up about his dream collaborations. And he name dropped a few people. First on Wayne’s list of dream collaborators is none other than the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. Wayne expressed a longing to work with the late musical icon, reflecting his admiration for Jackson’s unparalleled talent and influence.

“Michael Jackson,” he said during the interview. Following closely in his dream lineup is another musical titan, Prince. “The second one would be … not even the second [but] 1A would be Prince. You already know that the other two.” In addition, for Wayne, the realm of hip-hop wouldn’t be complete without paying homage to its fallen legends: The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur. “If we’re going to do rap, the other two have to be Biggie and ‘Pac, plain and simple,” he continued.

Moreover, turning towards living artists who continue to inspire him, Lil Wayne singled out Lauryn Hill. “Now somebody that’s living, that’s right here walking this planet with us, Lauryn Hill. Known for her soul-stirring vocals and profound lyricism, Hill represents a contemporary artist whose potential collaboration with Wayne promises to be nothing short of groundbreaking. However, the closest that this collaboration has came to life was just last year. Moreover, Lil Wayne made a surprise appearance alongside Ms. Lauryn Hill and the Fugees at their concert experience at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California in October. He performed a rendition of “A Milli.”

However, Lil Wayne is continuing to collaborate in other ways and continuing to inspire generations. In fact, he recently assisted basketball star Flau’jae Johnson with a verse on song “Came Out a Beast,” that appeared on her project Best of Both Worlds. Flau’jae even spoke to Complex about what it was like working with Wayne. She cited that he pushed her to new hights, and that it was a “surreal experience.” Who else would you want to see Wayne work with in the future? Let us know on HNHH!
