Lupe Fiasco & Joe Budden Debate Their Alleged “Hate” For Kendrick Lamar & Drake

by

Lupe Fiasco and Joe Budden hopped into an X (formerly Twitter) Spaces discussion on Monday to discuss the viral feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. In doing so, Fiasco addressed the rumors that he hates Lamar while Budden spoke similarly on the idea of his alleged dislike for Drake. The conversation began with Fiasco admitting he had only heard Drake’s first diss song, “Push Ups,” out of all the tracks.

“You know I haven’t listened to any of the songs? I listened to ‘Push Ups’ and then after the [Rick] Ross response [‘Champagne Moments’], I haven’t listened to anything. So I haven’t heard any of the records: ‘Family Matters,’ ‘Meet the Grahams,’ ‘Not Like Us.’ I kinda tapped out,” Fiasco admitted. From there, Budden accused him of having “sheer hate for one of them n****s,” to which Fiasco countered with the same accusation of him.

Eventually, Fiasco attempted to clear the air regarding his feelings on Lamar. “I do not have a problem. No matter what was said in the past, what you think happened, what happened, what didn’t happen. I personally and professionally do not have a problem with my brother-in-arms Kendrick Lamar.” Check out their full comments on the feud below.

Drake Fan Creates ‘Family Matters’ Online Video Game; Players Can Keep Grammy Away From a Digital Kendrick

Ayo, fans are wild. Drake fans to be exact. ICYMI, earlier this month, Kendrick Lamar fans kept up the same energy with the Compton rapper’s Drake feud by launching an online video game inspired by the epic chart topping diss track “Not Like Us.” 

The game, was reminiscent of the piñata scene from the song’s visual – basically a generic twist on the classic whack-a-mole, featuring OVO owls as targets. Gotcha. Kill owls. Call PETA. Kidding.

In response to that gamer trolling, a Drake enthusiast created *Family Matters: The Game*, which can be played online. Check it out: https://playfamilymatters.com

Get this, when you start the game, and a lo-fi Family Matters beat drops, an on-screen message reads: 

“Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go feed him a Grammy right now. Tap the Grammy to feed Kenny. Don’t miss or he’ll be sad.” 

Then gameplay involves a moving arrow that indicates where the Grammy will be thrown when you click or tap, while a pixelated Kendrick Lamar moves side-to-side. 

Low key genius. 

If you miss, Lamar’s character grimaces, makes a sad sound, and a tear rolls down his face.

Super petty. 

Obviously, te game’s theme draws from Drake’s lyric in “Family Matters,” where he raps, “Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy right now.” 

LOL Ya’ll got too much time on your hands!

Central Cee’s Girlfriend Claps Back At Ice Spice’s Series Of Sneak Disses Amid Cheating Rumors

by

Over the last couple of weeks now, Central Cee and Ice Spice have really been heating up their relationship. According to his ex-girlfriend and social media influencer, Madeline Argy, them “dating” was a mischievous PR stunt for their collab “Did It First”. However, with the information and the song being out, they both certainly reveal a lot. “Gyal on my phone tryna see who I slept with / She investigating, detective / Lucky for me, I deleted the message“, Cee raps on the track. In some recent TikToks, Argy retold the story of how she found out Cee was possibly cheating on her through these bars. While we are still not exactly sure if the “Doja” MC is with Spice, the signs were enough for Argy to move on. Seeing her recent podcast episodes and social media posts, you can tell she is all over the place mentally.

Her fans have been rallying around her during the cheating rumors, all while this alleged new couple seems just fine. In fact, Ice Spice seems to even be sending some subliminal shots at Argy. According to AllHipHop, the Y2K! creator shared a TikTok of her doing some pushups with the caption, “mood after takin ha manzzz”. Argy got in the comments section simply and probably frustratingly replying with, “WHY”. Additionally, there was a since deleted TikTok of Cee’s ex doing pushups too, and Spice fans were claiming she posted that after the fact. Of course, the influencer’s supporters argued the opposite and that the rapper was taunting her.

As we mentioned, Argy is running around trying to figure out exactly what happened and why it did even after the break-up. In a clip from her recent podcast, she still has no answer as to when or if any cheating went down. “Did he cheat on me? I have no idea. He blindsided me and he betrayed me, that is what I do know”. Later on, she added, “As far as I am as aware they were a PR stunt. This issue is, I was his girlfriend. So, what the f*** are you doing not telling me?”. So, yes, this whole situation is one big mess.

DJ Akademiks Clowned By O’Sean Jackson Jr. For Claiming Drake Has Been Through “Realer Sh*t” Than Kendrick Lamar

by

DJ Akademiks is someone who has been known for having some controversial takes when it comes to the music world. Overall, he has been especially active throughout the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. For the most part, it is well known that Akademiks’ allegiances mostly lie with the OVO side of things. This has subsequently led to some truly dubious claims from Ak, although aside from a few detractors on social media, he largely goes unchecked.

Recently, however, Akademiks said something that sounded so outlandish, O’Shea Jackson Jr. had to step in and say something. As you can see in the video clip below, Akademiks made the comment that Drake has been through “realer sh*t” than Kendrick Lamar. Overall, you can probably see how this comment may come across as pretty outlandish. O’Shea Jackson Jr. was quick to call it out, noting “Every. Got. Damn. Day. Lmfaooooo.”

DJ Akademiks Under Fire

At this point, it should not be a surprise that Akademiks is reacting this way to the beef, or shooting Drake this kind of bail. This has been happening every single step of the way throughout the beef. Having said that, even Akademiks cannot deny the power and the impact of a song like “Meet The Grahams” and of course, “Not Like Us.” For now, it is going to be extremely difficult for Drake to gain significant momentum. If he does, it will be nothing short of a miracle, at this point. Only time will tell what Drizzy is able to do next.

Let us know what you think about this take from DJ Akademiks, in the comments section down below. Do you believe his comments during the stream were ridiculous? Do you agree with what he had to say about Drake and Kendrick? 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.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle Resigns, Taking ‘Full Responsibility’ for ‘Security Lapse’ in Trump Assassination Attempt

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle Resigns, Taking 'Full Responsibility' for 'Security Lapse' in Trump Assassination Attempt

Kimberly Cheatle, U.S. Secret Service director, has resigned.

In an email sent to Secret Service staff, Cheatle stated she takes “full responsibility for the security lapse.”

She added, “In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director.”

The security lapse in question is the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump two weeks ago.Trump was struck in the ear during a rally in Pennsylvania by a shooter who took the top of a nearby roof.

According to Cheatle, the agents were not on the roof because it sloped. Officials from both parties pressured Cheatle to step down.

According to The Epoch Times, Cheatle revealed the Secret Service was alerted of a suspicious person but did not deem him a threat, calling the shooting the “most significant operational failure” in decades.

Lupe Fiasco Claims He Hasn’t Even Heard Either Of Drake Or Kendrick Lamar’s Diss Tracks

Despite fans trying to pull him into the feud, Lupe Fiasco claims he hasn’t even heard either of Drake or Kendrick Lamar’s diss tracks. While many hip-hop fans were mesmerized by tracks like “Family Matters“, “Not Like Us“, “Meet The Grahams” and “6:16 In LA,” Lupe told fans during a chat on Twitter Spaces (never calling it “X”) that he tuned out after Rick Ross dropped “Champagne Moments.” You can listen to the Space below.

Lupe also dismissed long-running speculation that he dislikes Kendrick Lamar. “I genuinely don’t have any issues, I really don’t,” he said. “I do not have a problem. No matter what was said in the past, what you think happened, what happened, what didn’t happen. I personally and professionally do not have a problem with my brother in arms, Kendrick Lamar.”

Perhaps Lupe was just too busy finalizing preparations for his new album, Samurai, and his upcoming Samurai tour, which starts in October. Or maybe he just tired of the conflict, as he pointed out during a separate Spaces chat that it undermined hip-hop as a whole to fight about who deserves to be “in” or “out.” “I don’t think we should be choosing who comes in and out and making decisions on that sh*t anyway… I think it is going to do more harm than good,” he said. “I think you are going to miss out on a lot of beautiful things because of it. I think you are going to ostracize people and like I said, there are going to be a group of motherf*ckers that you think you actually control and sh*t and its dudes doing 50 city tours who you ain’t never heard of. ‘Cause they like, ‘F*ck that dude. I’m finna do this because I love it.’ But now, they are the ‘out group,’ but they are selling more records than you and selling more tour dates than you. But you are the spokesperson for hip-hop? That don’t make no sense.”

Joe Budden Gives His Take

“My problem with Big Sean is — respectfully, if you’re watching, Big Sean. I mean no disrespect by this — the vagueness that comes with his disses,” Budden explained. “Big Sean does lyrically diss people, and then we hear it as fans and we get to guessing. And then every guess we [make], he says, ‘You’re wrong.’ But he don’t never tell us who he’s dissing. Not that he has to, but our guesses be sounding accurate to us.”

Let us know what you think of this assessment, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Joe Budden is right about Big Sean here? How do you feel about the way Big Sean goes about sneak dissing people on his records? Do you see an issue with it?
