Trump’s Running Mate JD Vance Kicks Off Campaign with Controversial Introduction Calling for ‘Civil War’ if Trump Loses

July 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JD Vance launched his first campaign event with a provocative introduction by a Republican official, George lang, who warned of a “civil war” if Donald Trump loses in the upcoming November election. The official’s statement has sparked controversy and heightened tensions as the election approaches.

Vance, known for his book Hillbilly Elegy, is vying for Vice President and aligning with Trump supporters. This rhetoric underscores the deep divisions within the current political landscape, setting a contentious tone for Vance’s campaign trail.

In response, Harris for President Campaign Spokesperson Ammar Moussa released a statement:

“Donald Trump and JD Vance are running a campaign openly sowing hatred and promising revenge against their political opponents. It’s a feature, not a bug, of their campaign and message to the American people. That’s why a Republican official was empowered to predict a civil war while introducing these candidates.

“Trump and Vance pay lip service to unity, but their actions are more focused on dividing Americans than bringing us together. It’s the polar opposite of everything Vice President Harris stands for.

“Donald Trump and JD Vance should denounce George Lang’s calls for violence and apologize for platforming this kind of violence.”

Cardi B Accused Of Hypersexualizing Herself While Promoting New Rob49 Collab

July 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B is one of the biggest women rappers in the entire world. Overall, she has numerous hits and a debut album that borders on classic territory. However, it has been over six years since we received an album. This has led to numerous debates, and even led to a beef with Joe Budden. Regardless, Cardi has still put out singles and she is still doing features. For instance, she was recently on the song “On Dat Money” with Rob49.

To help promote the song, Cardi B was on her social media, twerking up a storm in a revealing outfit. Unfortunately for her, this act ultimately led to quite a bit of discourse online. Some felt as though she was hypersexualizing herself. This is a criticism that many women rappers have been facing as of late. However, with this latest video, Cardi got it the worst of any artist we have seen in quite some time. In DJ Akademiks’ comments, many were particularly appalled with what they were watching.

To be fair, many of these takes and criticisms have existed for a long time. However, they seem to be more prominent than ever. A shift could very well be happening when it comes to the music consumer. Only time will tell whether or not Cardi and others make a shift in their content.

Drake Fan Creates “Family Matters” Game In Retaliation To “Not Like Us” Flash Creation

July 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef has been over for a while now. This is mostly because a winner has been declared. The consensus is that Kendrick came through with the win. However, some Drake fans are holding onto the idea that their guy actually was victorious. This has led to plenty social media meltdowns from the OVO-vengers side of things. Regardless, you have to give the Drake stans credit for being so consistent and downright persistent at times.

A great example of this is how just a couple of weeks ago, some Kendrick Lamar fans created a “Not Like Us” video game. It was a Flash game in which you played as Kendrick who could be seen whacking away at Drake-related items. Well, a new version of the game has been created although this time around, it is a “Family Matters” game. The object of this game is to shoot a Grammy into Kendrick’s mouth whenever he opens up.

Drake Fans Are Getting Creative

Someone tell @aubreysattorney and @certifiedjared we’re live with a “Family Matters” game. https://t.co/liLzQffnM7

— Family Matters: The Game ⁶𓅓 (@fammattersgame) July 22, 2024

This is a reference to the infamous lyric “Kendrick just opened his mouth, somebody give him a Grammy right now.” It was one of those lyrics that many found humorous, although others thought it was Drake showcasing his jealousy. Whatever the case may be, you cannot deny that Drake fans work extremely hard, regardless of the circumstances. Only time will tell whether or not this beef inspires more video games.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Drake fans are doing a bit too much here? What do you make of the Drake and Kendrick beef now that it has been over three months since it all took place? 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.
