Lil Wayne Accused Of Dissing Drake On “Saturday Mornings” And Here’s Why
If there’s one thing the internet is good for, it’s overanalyzing. Rap verses that would have gone unnoticed back in the day have become sources of speculation and debate. Especially when it comes to Drake. The Toronto rapper is a master of subliminals, and as such, anybody related to him is investigated by fans to see if they throw subs back. Lil Wayne has been Drake’s mentor for a decade and a half, and yet, the Young Money rapper has fans questioning whether he dissed the 6 God on his latest song.
The song in question is “Saturday Mornings,” a soulful collab with Cordae. Lil Wayne absolutely skates on the back end of the song, with some of his best wordplay in years. Some of the bars can (and has been) interpreted as Drizzy bashing, though. “It fit me like a glove, OJ hand. I’ma need a little love from your hating a*s,” Wayne raps. “Need less yes-men and more amens. I’ma need more real prayers and less praying hands.” The reference to the OJ glove has been applied to the artwork for the Drake diss song “6:16 In LA.” The praying hands, meanwhile, is theorized to be in reference to Drake’s “6 God” logo.

The line that really has fans scratching their head, though, is the one that mentions Drake’s surname: Graham. “You standing on business, I’m a business man,” Lil Wayne spits. “I’ma GOAT, n**ga you a sacrificial lamb. You a Teddy bear, n**ga, a Teddy Graham.” Weezy F. Baby is calling his target sweet, plain and simple. The evidence is compelling, especially given the fact that Drake has been clowned for being sweet for most of his career. The thing is, Wayne has been nothing but supportive of Drake since day one. The two artists have collaborated multiple times, and Young Money has stood behind Drizzy in light of the Kendrick Lamar battle.
Lil Wayne even went viral for trying to defend Drake against Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss. The rapper tried to tweak the lyrics to the song during a recent performance in Las Vegas. It didn’t really work, though, and merely led to confusion as to which side he was on. It’s worth noting that Lil Wayne is set to drop a Rick Ross collab on July 26, despite Ross being firmly anti-Drake. There’s lot to speculate about, but at the end of the day, Wayne deserves the benefit of the doubt. Him and Drake are good until one of them says otherwise.

Queen Key Drags Jazmine Cheaves For Discussing 600Breezy’s Relationship With Their Alleged Children
Earlier this month, Jayda Cheaves’ sister Jazmine revealed the identity of her son’s father during an episode of her podcast, Not Cr*zy, Just Misunderstood. “My baby daddy — my real baby daddy — I don’t need no f*cking DNA test, he don’t need no DNA test. His momma — everybody know who the f*ck my baby daddy is, my baby daddy… is 600Breezy,” she announced. At the time, she also claimed that Breezy hadn’t reached out since their alleged son Blaze’s birth, accusing him of being a “deadbeat.”
Jazmine went on to appear on Jayda’s Act Normal podcast with Dess Dior, where she discussed 600Breezy’s involvement in their alleged son’s life once again. According to her, he’s now financially supporting the infant and otherwise doing his part, at least for “the kids that he claims.” She alleged that aside from their son, 600Breezy has two other children from previous relationships.

Jazmine Cheaves Responds To Queen Key
This prompted a response from Queen Key, who alleged that 600Breezy was the father of her triplets back in 2019. She hopped on her Instagram Story to share a screenshot of a direct message to Jazmine. “B***h, didn’t I tell you stop speaking on my kids,” it reads. She then shared a post promoting her new single, throwing some serious shade in her caption. “Today im in a blessed mood so ima donate all earnings to jayda Wayda lil sister or big sister whoever tf she is so she can buy a NAME,” she wrote in part. “Ho gotta get a lil cheap brain from somewhere too so she can stop claiming a DL man who’s never met her son as the father.”
Jazmine took to her own Instagram Story to respond, though she opted to keep it brief. “It a be diabolical for me to sit here & entertain this bs,” she wrote simply.

Keke Palmer Insists Tyler Perry Isn’t “The Enemy” Amid Backlash For His Reaction To Criticism
Earlier this week, Tyler Perry sat down with Keke Palmer on her podcast Baby, This is Keke Palmer. Shortly after, a few of his comments went viral. At one point in the episode, Perry addressed criticism, alluding to claims that his films consistently portray Black women in distress. According to him, critics have no right to determine what kinds of stories he decides to tell through his movies, and shouldn’t dismiss them as less important than others.
“A large portion of my fans are disenfranchised. Who cannot get in the Volvo and go to therapy on the weekend,” he explained. “You’ve got this highbrow negro who is all up in the air with his nose up looking at everything… Don’t discount these people and say their stories don’t matter. Who are you to be able to say which Black story is important, or should be told? Get out of here with that bullsh*t.”

Keke Palmer Stands Up For Tyler Perry
Perry earned a great deal of backlash for his remarks, including misogyny accusations and more. Now, Palmer has come to his defense on X, arguing that critics are directing their anger at the wrong entity. “The enemy isn’t Tyler it’s the system that makes it hard for multiple black artist to shine at one time,” she began. “Oppression turns you against the person that gets the shine opposed to questioning why there can only be so few at a time. Tyler is not the gatekeeper of all black stories he’s just one creative who broke through the system. Advocating for others to do the same is the fight, not hating Tyler for his work that many do love.”
In a subsequent Tweet, Palmer also noted how Perry has employed many Black people, and urged followers not to “blame his movies for oppression.” What do you think of Keke Palmer coming to Tyler Perry’s defense amid backlash for his response to criticism?

Young Thug Receives Sympathetic Message From His Record Label Amid Lengthy Trial Process
YSL Records is backing Young Thug during his ongoing trial. Thug founded the label in 2016 which plays host to Gunna and formerly Lil Baby. YSL’s existence became a point of contention during Thug’s ongoing racketeering trial. Prosecutors argued that YSL was actually a gang, and that Thug has been quietly building a crime ring in Atlanta. The indictment named Gunna as well, but he was quickly released. Thug’s trial started in November 2023. Improper relationships and general questions surrounding the circumstances of the case have marred the proceedings. As of July 25, 2024, Thug’s trial is officially the longest in Georgia history.
Several judges have recused themselves from what has become one of the most controversial cases in recent memory. Previous judge Ural Glanville was recused following an off-the-record meeting with a member of the defense. Judge Shukura L. Ingram came next. She didn’t last long in the role either, as she recused herself only a couple of days later. She explained that her deputy previously engaged in an inappropriate relationship with Young Thug’s co-defendant, Big Bhris. Ingram alleged that her deputy tried to sneak contraband into jail for him. She argued that those facts could impact the court’s impartiality. Judge Paige Reese Whittaker is now in charge of the proceedings. Amidst all the drama, YSL Records showed support for the head of their label.
YSL Calls For Young Thug’s Release
“United States Constitution, Sixth Amendment: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial…” #FreeJeffery #BondNow #FreeOurArt #ProtectBlackArt,” YSL’s Instagram caption reads. Thug has been on trial for nearly nine months. With mounting questions about the reliability of those in charge, questions about the trial’s fairness arose as well.
Regardless, he and lawyer Brian Steele are likely to have felt relief from the change in judges to someone that hopefully has no prior engagement with anyone involved in the case. After Glanville’s recusal, Steele issued a statement about the case, emphasizing the fact that Thug is seeking a “speedy” and “fair” trial with an impartial judge. Those are sentiments echoed in the latest YSL post. Hopefully, this trial reaches a conclusion soon, with a result determined solely by the evidence presented and not other agendas.

Soulja Boy Issues Unhinged Response To B. Simone’s Shady Podcast Comments
Earlier this week, B. Simone dropped a new episode of her Let’s Try This Again podcast, and threw some serious shade at Soulja Boy. At one point in the episode, she recalled doing a cover shoot for a magazine while listening to a gospel playlist, claiming that she heard zero complaints from anyone on set. “Nobody said ‘Why are we listening to this? Man, put on Soulja Boy.’ I don’t think anybody’s ever saying put on Soulja Boy… I don’t know why I said that.”
Simone went on to backpedal a bit, complimenting him by calling him a “hip hop legend,” a “trendsetter,” and more. Unfortunately, however, it appears as though the damage had already been done. Eventually, the rapper hopped on Instagram Live to respond and didn’t hold back in the slightest.

In a lengthy rant, he called Simone out for dissing him, going after her career, appearance, and more. He even accused her of trying to hook up with him on the set of Wild ‘n Out and claimed he turned her down. “‘We ain’t never said turn on Soulja Boy.’ We ain’t never said turn on B. Simone, who the f*ck is you?” he shouted. “That’s f*cked up. If a n***a don’t want to f*ck you, a n***a don’t want to f*ck you… So I’ve got to f*ck you for you to get on the internet and say something good about me? […] If you ain’t got something nice to say don’t say nothing at all.”
Clearly, the performer didn’t appreciate the shade and certainly wasn’t about to let it slide. What do you think of B. Simone shading Soulja Boy on her podcast? What about his unhinged response? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Wack 100 Weighs In On Polo G’s Beef With DJ Vlad
Wack 100 and DJ Vlad talked about several things in a new interview for Vlad’s YouTube channel. One of the topics that arose this time was Polo G. Specifically, Polo G’s issues with DJ Vlad. Police arrested Polo G at a Manhattan hotel for possession of a loaded firearm in April. His brother, Trench Baby, reportedly committed multiple crimes. Polo G previously referred to DJ Vlad as “the Feds” for some of his interview questions. Fans referring to Vlad as “the Feds” or as a “snitch” are the most persistent critiques of Vlad’s channel. Their tension culminated with a FaceTime call where Polo demanded to meet Vlad face-to-face, which Vlad declined.
In the new clip with Wack 100, Vlad emphasized his concern about Polo G’s livelihood. Vlad listed nineteen rappers he interviewed who’ve since died. Some were murdered, others died of other causes. Vlad pointed out the path Polo and his associates seem to be on. He remarked about having to bring his own gun to a meeting with Polo, since he and his brother still have one foot in the streets. Wack100 agreed with Vlad, drawing parallels to infamous family feuds.
Wack 100 Reacts To Polo G And DJ Vlad
“What they don’t realize, Vlad, is that you’ve been in the game for 16, 17 years. You’ve seen a hundred different scenarios that ended in jail, death, someone in a wheelchair, someone else being killed, said Wack 100. “You’re mimicking these nineteen people that [Vlad] interviewed that did exactly what you’re doing, and it ended in a tragic death.”
The authorities arraigned Polo G at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse in April 2024. A maid discovered a black Glock on the loveseat while she was cleaning his room at the Dominick Hotel in SoHo. The criminal complaint said the gun had one bullet ready to go and nine additional bullets loaded. He was also arrested on a weapons charge in August 2023, after police raided his home and found “numerous firearms.” Polo postponed his fourth album, Hood Poet, after the August arrest, and he has not announced a new release date. Maybe Wack 100 can mediate a conversation between Polo G and DJ Vlad.

Ice Spice Recalls Drake Flying Her Out To Toronto: “Like, Gag”
It’s no secret that Ice Spice has made several high-profile friends since her rise to fame, including Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, and more. She even crossed paths with Drake at one point, though she admits they never got too close. During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the “Deli” rapper opened up about their friendship, and recalled him flying her to Toronto for OVO Fest.
“We was on the jet like, ‘Wait, Drake’s flying us out? Like, gag,” she explained. “When we saw him, I was like, ‘Nah, this is cr*zy.’ He’s just casually there. There’s mad random people around, and he’s just, like, blending in somehow.”

Ice Spice Discusses Her Friendship With Drake
Ice Spice continued, revealing that she hopes to work with Drizzy sometime in the future. “We talk, but we never really was on some bestie sh*t,” she also added. “He’s excited for Y2K!, he told me.” Of course, all that talk of Drake led to a brief discussion about his viral feud with Kendrick Lamar. She opted not to pick a side, instead stating that she enjoyed the rap battle as a whole. “I’m a music lover. So, I appreciate the sport of it — I think it’s really cool,” she said.
Ice Spice and Drake’s friendship hasn’t always been smooth sailing, however. In 2022, he seemingly dissed her on his track with Lil Yachty, “BackOutsideBoyz.” A few months later, Ice Spice revealed that they had worked things out, claiming they were “cool” and confirming that there was no beef. What do you think of Ice Spice opening up about her friendship with Drake? What about her claiming that they’ve never been besties? Are you looking forward to hearing her new album Y2K when it drops at midnight? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
