Kamala Harris’ Presidential Campaign Reportedly Gets The Beyoncé Bump As Bey Approves The Use Of A Song
Last night (July 22), Kamala Harris made her first official visit to her presidential campaign headquarters. When she did so, she walked out to Beyoncé’s Lemonade song “Freedom.” Tons of musicians have gotten mad at Donald Trump for using their music at his public showings, but Harris apparently did things by the book and got Beyoncé on her side.
CNN reports that “a source close to Harris” told them Harris’ team “got approval from Beyoncé’s representatives to use the song throughout her presidential campaign,” and that Beyoncé “gave quick approval to Harris’ campaign” to use the track “just hours before she walked out to the song.”
As of yet, Beyoncé has not officially endorsed Harris’ presidential campaign.
This comes shortly after Charli XCX did give her explicit endorsement, tweeting, “kamala IS brat,” in reference to her new album Brat. From there, Harris’ team knew what to do: As part of re-branding the Biden-Harris campaign social media pages, they used a Brat-themed banner image, which left the folks at CNN deeply confused.
Harris previously said in a statement, “On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.”
M. Night Shyamalan Was Team Kendrick Lamar Even Before He Referenced ‘The Sixth Sense’ In His Feud With Drake
M. Night Shyamalan’s most childhood trauma-inducing film is Signs, but Drake is probably more traumatized by The Sixth Sense.
Kendrick Lamar referenced the 1999 film in two diss tracks against Drake. On “Euphoria,” he rapped, “Am I battlin’ ghost or AI? / N*gga feelin’ like Joel Osteen / Funny, he was in a film called A.I. / And my sixth sense tellin’ me to off him.” (He meant Haley Joel Osment, who was a good sport about the whole thing.) Lamar also begins his No. 1 hit “Not Like Us” with “I see dead people.”
While promoting his new The Eras Tour-inspired film Trap, Shyamalan was asked about the feud. “We kind of lightly know each other, and I did know [he was a fan],” the director said of Lamar on the Way Up With Angela Yee podcast, according to Billboard. “He’s very gracious with me, and I love him.”
Shyamalan first learned about The Sixth Sense lyric from someone he works with. “The first song ends with it. So someone in the office was like, ‘Oh, Kendrick just dropped something and it references one of your [movies].’ I was like, ‘Oh, cool.’ That was before everything blew up,” he explained.
If the feud with Drake continues, Kendrick should start referencing some of M. Night’s other films. Let’s see what he can do with Lady In The Water.

Lupe Fiasco Reveals That He Hasn’t Even Heard Kendrick Lamar & Drake Diss Tracks Despite Causing An Uproar Online
Lupe Fiasco might be digging himself in a deeper hole with Kendrick Lamar fans after another Twitter Spaces event. Over the weekend, the lyrical technician hosted his own Spaces where he debated fans about the hip-hop gatekeepers, which then led him to Dot fans calling him a hater. Now, just a couple of days later, Lupe hopped back on the social media platform to clear up some of the key takeaways with Joe Budden. The rapper turned podcaster commended the Chicago native for just saying what he feels about the entire Kendrick versus Drake beef. However, Lupe revealed something quite interesting.
He claims that post “Champagne Moments”, the Rick Ross diss aimed at Drake, he has not listened to any of the diss records. That includes songs like “Family Matters”, “Not Like Us”, “meet the grahams”, “6:16 in LA”, and more. “I kinda tapped out”, Lupe admitted. Budden made a funny joke in relation to how his Spaces guest did it out of pure hatred for Lamar. But he continued to insist that there is no bitterness in his body for his California contemporary.

Lupe Attempts To Make His Feelings About Kendrick Crystal Clear
“I love Dot… “I genuinely don’t have any issues, I really don’t”, he stated. The “Lasers” MC later made a PSA to the internet to try even harder to put this narrative to rest. “Joe Budden community, this is Lupe Fiasco. 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”.
What are your thoughts on Lupe Fiasco’s latest comments about Kendrick Lamar following the original Twitter debate? Does him not listening to a lot of the diss tracks further discredit his take on the Drake beef? Do you foresee the narrative that he hates the Compton rapper being put to bed after this, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Joe Budden.

Body-Cam Footage Of Sonya Massey’s Killing Sparks Outrage, Leading To Impassioned Statement From Joe Biden
Body-cam footage from the death of Sonya Massey has been released to the public, showing Illinois sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson firing three shots at her head. The tragic incident occurred at her home, where she called police about a possible break-in. While Grayson and his partner didn’t find any signs of an intruder, they spoke with Massey for a time. During that conversation, the disgraced officer noticed a pot of boiling water on the stove. He moved away and asked her to remove it. “Where you going?” she asked in response. Grayson answered: “Away from your hot steaming water.”
Here, Massey remarks: “Away from the hot steaming water? Oh, I’ll rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Grayson then threatens to “f*cking shoot you right in your f*cking face.” Despite Massey apologizing several times, Grayson then shoots her in the head. He has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and official misconduct, and is being held without bond. It is extremely rare for police officers to be charged with murder with the last time coming in 2020 following the death of George Floyd. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is representing the family of Massey.

Kamala Harris Speaks After Joe Biden’s Decision To Drop Out
Shortly after authorities released the body-cam footage, President Joe Biden released the following statement: “Sonya Massey, a beloved mother, friend, daughter, and young Black woman, should be alive today. Sonya called the police because she was concerned about a potential intruder. When we call for help, all of us as Americans – regardless of who we are or where we live – should be able to do so without fearing for our lives. Sonya’s death at the hands of a responding officer reminds us that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not.”
Joe Biden Speaks Out
His statement comes after his decision to drop out of the upcoming presidential race and endorse Kamala Harris to run in his stead. Be on the lookout for further updates on Sonya Massey and the 2024 Presidential Election on HotNewHipHop.

Ice Spice Roasted For Horrific Push-Up Form While Flexing About Stealing Central Cee
Ice Spice is one of the biggest young artists in hip-hop right now and it is all thanks to her breakout single “Munch.” Overall, this viral hit catapulted her to superstardom. She immediately got features with Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, while also getting a brief Drake co-sign. Furthermore, she had a successful debut EP that has positioned her nicely for her debut album Y2K which is going to come out this Friday. It only has 10 songs, and we have already heard four of the singles.
Over the past week or so, Ice Spice has been making waves thanks to her supposed relationship with Central Cee. Many have stated that this was all for publicity although the jury is still out on that. What we do know is that Central Cee’s ex is not happy with what she has seen. As a result, Ice Spice opted to pour some salt in the wound by taking to IG and doing some push-ups. It was here where she said “mood after takin ha manzzz.” Unfortunately for Ice Spice, her push-up form left a lot to be desired.

(@nojumper)“She ain’t even doing them right tf,” one person wrote over on No Jumper. “4 push up wow so buff,” wrote another. Regardless of these comments, all eyes will be on Ice Spice come Friday. If her new album cannot live up to the hype, there is no telling what she will do next. After all, a debut album can be make or break for a lot of artists. This is especially true for Ice Spice given her first four singles did not have the impact fans would have hoped.
Let us know how you feel about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Y2K is going to be a phenomenal debut album? Are you a fan of Ice Spice and her antics or have you soured on the artist since last year? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

John Legend Pledges Support to VP Kamala Harris: ‘I’m Excited to Help Her in Any Way I Can’
Grammy award-winning singer John Legend has expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris in her campaign to become the 27th President of the United States of America.
“I’m so ready to work to help unite the pro-democracy coalition to reject Trump’s authoritarian, oppressive Project 2025 and elect Kamala Harris as our President,” John Legend wrote on Instagram. “She’s ready for this fight and I’m excited to help her in any way I can.”
Vice President Kamala Harris made a memorable entrance during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters on Monday evening. She walked out to the powerful anthem “Freedom” by Beyoncé. A source close to Harris revealed to CNN that her team received approval from Beyoncé’s representatives to use the song throughout her presidential campaign.
Beyoncé, known for her strict clearance guidelines around her music, swiftly granted permission to Harris’ campaign on Monday, just hours before the Vice President made her entrance. While Beyoncé has not officially endorsed Harris following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not seek a second term, her quick approval for the use of “Freedom” suggests the superstar’s support for Harris.
This significant gesture underscores the cultural and political weight behind Harris’ campaign, highlighting a potential alignment with Beyoncé’s advocacy for social justice and empowerment.
