SZA Has Brutally Honest Response To Fan Requesting Homework Help

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that SZA has a lot of talents, but according to her, math is simply not one of them. Earlier this week, the Grammy-winning artist took to her Instagram Story to share screenshots of some hilarious DMs she exchanged with a fan. In them, the fan tells SZA that they’re failing their geometry class, and asks for her help.

“Lmaooo ma’am I’m a math dummy,” she replied. “I’m not sure what u expected.” While the songstress didn’t appear confident in her ability to provide the fan with any assistance, she proceeded to ask them to be more specific. “Tell me bout the shapes chile,” she wrote, “How can I help.”

SZA Tells Fan They’re “Cooked”

From there, the fan sent SZA a photo of a problem they were struggling to solve. “I just can’t do this,” they explained, adding various crying and broken heart emojis. Unfortunately, she appears to have taken one look at the problem and determined that there was no chance she could help. “Oh b*tch ur cooked,” she bluntly informed them. While SZA was unable to save her fan from failing geometry, she made it clear in her caption that she was honored they believed she could. “I appreciate the faith in me,” she wrote.

As for what else SZA’s been up to these days, she was recently spotted enjoying a trip to Bali alongside Lizzo. She told fans earlier this month that she would be taking a break from performing for a while too, though it’s unclear exactly when she plans to get back to it. “Yesterday was my last show for a while. Finally bout to get my life together thank u God,” she announced at the time. What do you think of a fan asking SZA for help on their math homework? What about her hilarious response? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Camron Recalls Bailing Out His Friends For A Staggering Load Of Cash

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron is a vivid and gifted storyteller, whether it’s in his music or when talking about what part of the United States produces the best lyricists. However, he can also look back at old tales and rejuvenate him with his revealing commentary, as he recently did for his Instagram followers on Wednesday (August 28). Moreover, the Dipset member explained what happened at a traffic stop in New England on a cold night in 2003 while the group toured their debut album, Diplomatic Immunity. Authorities arrested Orlando Young and Piri Pantoja for possessing a firearm without a license and three counts of assault with intent to murder.

“One night, we was just driving down I-91, I believe,” Cam’ron began his story. “The cops pulled the tour bus over like [it was] the end of Set It Off when Cleo was about to run through the barricade with all the cops. They had like 92 cop cars out there! They pull us off the tour bus talking about, ‘Yo, somebody’s car windows got shot out.’ [I said,] ‘I don’t know how that happened, officer’ […] Now, it’s three degrees outside. I’m freezing. I’m looking at n***as like, ‘Y’all know what’s going on? ‘Cause I don’t.’” He said that Juelz Santana probably hid under the bus’ muffler (“That boy know how to hide“) and that the cops told him, Jim Jones, and J.R. Writer to “get their face[s] out their shirts” in spite of the freezing weather.

“Now the car pulls up that got the windows shot out, talking about, ‘Yeah, it was one of them,’” Cam’ron went on. “We like, ‘Nobody got time for this nonsense.’ I’m standing there like it was not one of us. Bus driver looking like, ‘I’ll tell on any of y’all.’ Look at him. ‘I don’t know nobody.’” When cops found weapons in the vehicle, they denied that they were theirs. “Now they lock two of my n***as up, I start talking s**t. ‘I don’t care what the bail is, I’m bailing n***as out.’ The bail was $4.8 million. Oh my God, I was sick. But I bailed n***as out, though, and everybody was good. Peace.”

Furthermore, police claimed that the suspects shot from Cam’ron and Dipset’s tour bus at a car with three females in it. They also hit Monique E. Garnett, the driver, with unlawful firearm and drug possession, plus passenger Keith Blacknell with similar charges. While the Diplomats members did not receive any charges, they reportedly witnessed the gunfire. It’s the kind of thing that probably caused 50 Cent to regret his beef with Cam and others.

Cardi B Reveals Why She Doesn’t Need Security Amid Fan Concerns

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, one fan spotted Cardi B out and about in New York City by herself. She appeared to be in good spirits, but the clip sparked a great deal of concern from her supporters. She took to X to address the clip of the unexpected sighting, making it clear that it wasn’t a big deal. “It was like 9am and I was hungry …..also nobody finna touch me,” she said.

That did little to ease fans’ concerns, however. They continued to flood her with demands not to go out alone. Again, she clarified that she was fine and that there was no need for fans to worry. “My house got 24/7 security,” she also explained. “I’m very spontaneous and I like my privacy… Sometimes I want to go to the deli or make a quick target run …I’m not waiting around till security come ….ALSO I ALWAYS ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING ON ME!”

Cardi B’s “Always Got Something” On Her

Still, the Bardigang was unconvinced, despite her emphasizing the fact that she hates “being babied.” One X user even claimed that one of her posts was a “trauma response,” which she quickly denied. “Wtffff yall be talking about …yall need help,” she responded. “It was 9am and I went to get a bacon egg and cheese …STOP WIT THIS cry baby sh*t ..Y’all too p**** …let me get off this app cause yall irritating me and is not even funny.”

Clearly, Cardi’s got it covered and doesn’t appreciate being treated like she doesn’t. With that being said, it’s no surprise that fans are feeling more protective of their fave than usual, as she’s currently expecting her third child with her ex Offset. She’s been on the hunt for an apartment in NYC lately too, which could explain why she was in town. What do you think of Cardi B telling fans not to worry about her after she was spotted by herself in NYC earlier this week? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Playboi Carti Scores Legal Win In UMG Copyright Case Over Incorrect Takedown

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti and Universal Music Group (UMG) just dodged a huge legal bullet thanks to a new ruling from a federal judge. Moreover, this case stems from the aforementioned artist and label taking down a song from G-Baby which uses the same beat from Carti and Pi’erre Bourne’s “Right Now.” However, G-Baby actually released his song “Oi!” before “Right Now” and did so with a legal license to use this same beat. The judge in this matter ruled that the “FIELD TRIP” creative and UMG didn’t violate the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) when they mistakenly took “Oi!” down since they didn’t intend to do so.

Furthermore, this ruling emerged on Tuesday (August 27) amid an update in last year’s lawsuit from G-Baby against Playboi Carti and UMG. The suit claimed that this takedown violated the DMCA’s stipulations protecting creators from improper takedowns. However, the judge in this ruling cited that previous decisions indicate how these safeguards only apply to intentionally irresponsible uses of the legal framework to shut other products down. As such, it seems like the “No Face” MC (which might appear on streaming services soon) will be in the clear.

“Because the DMCA requires only a good faith belief that material is infringing, a copyright holder is not liable for misrepresentation under the DMCA if they subjectively believe the identified material infringes their copyright, even if that belief is ultimately mistaken,” Judge Analisa Torres expressed. She also explained how G-Baby admitted that the UMG employee who took “Oi!” down didn’t know that he licensed the beat that Playboi Carti also used. “This admission alone dooms [G-Baby’s] claim against UMG,” Torres posited. Hopefully Carti and The Weeknd don’t face these issues on their supposed next collab.

Back to the story at hand: “[G-Baby] cites no caselaw for the proposition that one employee’s knowledge that a use may be non-infringing should be imputed to another employee who independently issues a takedown notice on behalf of the company,” the judge ruled. “Although [Playboi Carti] may well have been aware of (and displeased with) [G-Baby’s] license to use the beat, [G-Baby] has failed to establish that [Carti] had any part in the takedown notices.” We’ll see what happens next for one of Complex‘s best Atlanta rappers of all time.

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last weekend, TLC announced that they had to cancel a slew of upcoming shows due to T-Boz’s recent hospitalization. They shared the disappointing news in a statement on their Instagram Story, revealing that T-Boz had been diagnosed with a severe abdominal blockage. According to her, however, she would have preferred if the statement had been less detailed. In a clip shared on Instagram today, she addresses the various rumors that have been circulating since the announcement, making it clear that her condition has nothing to do with Ozempic or Sickle Cell.

“People have died from what I went through,” she said. “It had nothing to do with Sickle Cell… It had nothing to with constipation. No, I’m not on Ozempic. Everybody and every celeb ain’t on Ozempic. The ignorance is disheartening to me. I would just pray for people or if I had nothing to say I would shut the hell up and say nothing at all, but y’all don’t know how to f*****g do that. It amazes me how negative the world is.”

But let me help educate some since there’s so many new doctors out here and y’all seem to know so much about everything but nothing…. Stay Happy and Healthy …. I’ll See Yall Soon At The Rescheduled Shows… I’m Doing Great And Blessed!!!” she wrote.

Cardi B Explains Her Controversial Joke About Atlantic Records Being A Prison

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B ruffled a few feathers with her latest Instagram Story post for a couple of reasons. For those unaware, she posted a picture of her in the studio on Wednesday (August 28) that referred to it as the “Atlantic Records correctional facilities.” While a lot of people didn’t like how the Bronx femcee was seemingly unenthused about working on her long-awaited sophomore album, others took more direct issue with comparing this kind of career with a prison. Regardless of what side of these criticism she took the most issue with, she blasted the critics all the same in a new tweet on Thursday (August 29).

“The fact that I made a little joke about the studio because I been mixing and mastering about 40-50 songs and y’all turned that into I hate creating is crazy,” Cardi B shared with her followers. “This why artists don’t interact anymore cuz y’all will take one little joke and stretch it wider than y’all a**holes. God forbid I make a little sarcastic jokey jokey about motherhood y’all gonna claim I hate my kids and call cps…dweebs.” “HITS AND BEAUTIFUL A** KIDS,” she clapped back at a fan asking what she does create.

Cardi B Claps Back At Critics Of Her Atlantic Records Joke

— Cardi B (@iamcardib) August 29, 2024

In other news, amid Cardi B’s third pregnancy and Offset divorce, she revealed that she didn’t like the short time that she spent living in Atlanta. “I don’t live in Atlanta, I have a house in Atlanta,” she told social media. “I only go to Atlanta like three or four times a year. And probably I go for a week, maybe less. I tried to move to Atlanta in 2018 and I lived there for like six months. And I hated it. I don’t have not one friend in Atlanta, and I don’t have not even one family member in Atlanta. So I just don’t like Atlanta.”

Meanwhile, it seems like Cardi B might have a new hip-hop suitor in the form of Pooh Shiesty, although Offset might have taken issue with that. Regardless, it’s going to be exciting to see what she has in store for the rest of the year. Some conflicting reports emerged over the past months as to whether or not this sophomore project will come out in 2024 or later. Hopefully, the Bardi Gang will have more reason to celebrate before we ring in the New Year.
