Lil Yachty Claims He’s Leaving The Internet Amid Backlash For Drake & NYC Fashion Comments

by

It’s been a tough week for Lil Yachty, and it looks like the Georgia-born artist has had enough. Yesterday, for example, he got ripped apart for a few comments he made about New York City’s fashion sense on his podcast. “As far as style goes, I don’t think it’s sh*t going on when it comes to New York fashion,” he said. “Y’all like Purple Label, Amiri…and y’all wear a lot of y’all homeboy’s brands. Y’all wear all y’all’s homie’s sh*t. I know, we can tell.”

Yachty then appeared on the Flagrant podcast, where he discussed Drake’s viral lyrical battle with Kendrick Lamar, and admitted that he regrets weighing in. “I talked to him and that sh*t didn’t bother him. As it shouldn’t, he’s the f*cking guy. If I had $700 million you couldn’t talk to me either,” he added of Drizzy. “I think people just hate on Drake because he’s the guy… It’s also because he f*cked everyone’s b*tch.

Lil Yachty Has Had Enough

Of course, these remarks also earned him a great deal of backlash too. Now, he’s taken to Instagram Live to announce that he’s done with the internet for the time being. According to him, he still has obligations related to his podcast, but won’t be posting otherwise. “I’m gone off this internet sh*t… Contracted to do this podcast sh*t unfortunately but I ain’t posting no more sh*t,” he said. “I’m deleting the apps off my phone, swear to God.”

According to him, he might be done for the entire remainder of the year, though it’s to be seen whether or not he’ll stick to this. What do you think of Lil Yachty receiving backlash online for his comments about Drake and NYC fashion? Is it warranted, or are social media users just overreacting? What about him announcing that he’s leaving the internet? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Megan Thee Stallion Teases Cinematic Music Video For “MEGAN” Cut “Mamushi”

by

Megan Thee Stallion’s rollout for her new album MEGAN isn’t over yet, and with a wild tour behind her, she’s got more goods to focus on now. Moreover, she recently teased a new music video for the Yuki Chiba-assisted album cut “Mamushi,” which recently became the project’s latest single. The track has been one of the record’s biggest so far, so it’s no surprise that it’s getting a little extra love through a visual treatment. We don’t know when this new music video should be coming out or what it should include, but based on the black and white imagery, this bilingual song should be paying homage to Japanese film in one way or another.

Elsewhere, folks are ignoring Megan Thee Stallion’s killer year in the face of her Kamala Harris endorsement, including some callouts from Lil Pump. “Nicki Manaj > Megan stallion,” he shared online. “Who tf performs at a kamal Harris rally. She’s an embarrassment to the culture. This is an embarrassment to our country. Kamal Harris should’ve booked killer mike for the rally instead of Megan estallian. Kamala Harris needs Megan the stallion shaking a** to have people show up to her rally. Donald Trump needs himself to have people show up to his rally. One person is powered by the people, the other is powered by the establishment. Trump 2024 [U.S. flag emoji].”

Megan Thee Stallion Teases “Mamushi” MV

Regardless of petty politics and put-downs, Megan Thee Stallion is also facing a lot of scrutiny for reignited conspiracy theories about the Tory Lanez shooting, which her former best friend Kelsey Nicole had to address once again on Twitter. “It’s easy to get lost in the media, but let’s remember MY NAME was cleared by both parties involved. Stay tuned,” she shared online.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time that Megan Thee Stallion teased the “Mamushi” video, so you should catch up on that if you’re excited for the visuals. We wonder whether other MEGAN cuts will also get the MV treatment or if they will remain underrated fan picks from the discog. Either way, we’ll see what else 2024 holds for the Houston femcee after an already staggering seven months.

Lil Uzi Vert & Kai Cenat Team Up For New Marc Jacobs Campaign

by

In June of this year, Lil Uzi Vert made headlines for their participation in a Marc Jacobs campaign. The performer posed with the brand’s 40th-anniversary bag in collaboration with Stephen Sprouse. Unfortunately, this resulted in a great deal of clowning online. Uzi’s never been one to hide their true colors after a bit of criticism, however.

In fact, new photos circulating online show them posing for even more photos for the brand, joined by a special guest. Kai Cenat is featured in the photos, rocking a fuzzy black jacket, leather pants, and a pair of white shades. As for Uzi, they sported a sleeveless rhinestone-studded dress, a small black handbag, and dark sunglasses.

Lil Uzi Vert & Kai Cenat Strike A Pose For Marc Jacobs

As expected, the photo has elicited mixed reactions from social media users. Most are here for the unexpected collaboration, however, and can’t wait to see more. The news arrives a few weeks after Cenat teased a possible stream with Lil Uzi Vert, though it’s unclear when exactly that could happen. With that being said, they look to have been spending more time together due to the campaign, so it might be closer than ever. “Uzi on stream is going to be f***ing insane,” Cenat told fans in June.

Cenat isn’t the only person Uzi’s commitment to fashion has rubbed off on, however. During a recent interview, their partner JT also opened up about how they influenced her style. “I remember him putting me in a whole outfit and I was going the f*ck off on him like, ‘Boy, I look like Batman and all type of sh*t,’” she explained. “He’s like, ‘This is how you’re gonna be dressed every day.’ And, I’m like, ‘Boy, there’s a time and a place.’” What do you think of Lil Uzi Vert and Kai Cenat teaming up for a new Marc Jacobs campaign? How are they looking in this latest photo? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cardi B’s Tia Kemp-Inspired Offset Diss Track Exposed As AI Fabrication

by

Cardi B just dropped some major bombshells online, as news broke that she’s expecting a third child and that she filed for divorce from Offset. However, all this new info has also understandably resulted in a whole lot of misinformation, including a supposed diss track from her against the former Migo titled “Tia Kemp.” This is in reference to Rick Ross’ ex, who has a pretty nasty relationship with him online right now that continues to become even more contentious. Still, the Bardi Gang quickly figured out that this viral track is just a cheap A.I. attempt to fabricate a track centered around the divorce.

Furthermore, a lot of fans expressed surprise at the news of the divorce, but those select few probably weren’t very up to date with Cardi B and Offset. It’s been no secret that the two faced some bumps in the road as of late, especially in the public eye when it comes to cheating allegations against the Georgia rapper. But that being said, we don’t really know if these accusations were what caused the reported split, as other reports suggest that they reached an amicable agreement. Still, the Bronx femcee supposedly wants full custody of their two children, and other details about the split are unknown.

Cardi B’s Pregnancy Announcement

Elsewhere, here’s what Cardi B had to say about her pregnancy. “With every ending comes a new beginning!” she wrote in an Instagram post showing off her baby bump and presumably addressing the Offset divorce as well. “I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”

“I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!” Cardi B concluded. “It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”

Vybz Kartel Drops “First Week Out” Mixtape Following Prison Release

by

Dancehall legend Vybz Kartel is out of prison. To celebrate, he dropped a new project to celebrate. First Week Out is 12 tracks long and about 33 minutes. It also features SQUASH, a newer dancehall artist, one that some fans of the genre consider the face of the scene. The mixtape serves as a collection of loosies that have floated around since the dancehall star has been in prison. Vybz, long considered a polarizing force in the dancehall space, has done work with some of the biggest names in music. Eminem, Jay-Z, and Rihanna, to name a few. Of course, Vybz Kartel’s release from prison is a big deal to those who are fans of the space in which he operates.

After 13 years, Vybz Kartel and three co-defendants gained their release from Jamaican prison on Wednesday. Back in 2014, the court sentenced the artist to life in prison for the 2011 murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. Vybz’s trial was the longest in the island’s history, lasting 65 days. Toward the end of the process, the jury suspected that a juror was offering bribes to the other jurors. That contributed to Vybz receiving a guilty verdict, though he always maintained his innocence. In March, a London appeals court threw out their convictions. They stated that allowing the juror accused of bribery to continue serving led to a “miscarriage of justice.” The Jamaican Court of Appeal then decided a retrial wasn’t worth the effort and set the four men free, also citing Vybz’s poor health in their explanation. Stream the first release from the dancehall star since coming out of prison below.

Simone Biles Wins Historic Sixth Olympic Gold Medal In Women’s All-Around Final

by

Today, Simone Biles made history, winning her sixth Olympic gold medal in the gymnastics all-around final. She’s now the first American gymnast to do so. She narrowly defeated Rebeca Andrade of Brazil, who finished silver, and her teammate Suni Lee who finished bronze. The 27-year-old is now the oldest Olympics all-around champion since Maria Gorokhovskaya, who secured the title in 1952. Biles is also the third woman in history to win multiple gold medals in the all-around.

Following a mistake on uneven bars, she put on impressive balance beam and floor performances. While this put her above both Lee and Andrade, Biles admits that the mishap shook her confidence. According to her, she was “praying to every single God out there trying to refocus and recenter myself because that’s not the bars that I had been training.”

Simone Biles Celebrates Her Win

“I’m not the best bar swinger like Suni or Kaylia, but I can still swing some bars,” Biles also added. “I don’t want to compete with Rebeca no more. I’m tired. Like, she’s way too close. I’ve never had an athlete that close.” She celebrated the exciting win by debuting a silver goat necklace, symbolizing her undeniable GOAT status.

“My GOAT necklace is just kind of an ode, because the people love it and some people hate it,” she explained. “So, it’s like the best of both worlds. I was like, ‘OK, if it goes well, we’ll wear the GOAT necklace.’ I know people will go crazy over it but at the end of the day it is crazy that I am in the conversation of ‘Greatest of all athletes’ because I just still think, ‘I’m Simone Biles from Spring, Texas who loves to flip.’” What do you think of Simone Biles making history with her latest win?

50 Cent Announces New TV Network With Lionsgate

by

50 Cent has one of the most expansive and rapidly growing media empires in hip-hop, and it seems like it got a big boost today. Moreover, the G-Unit mogul announced the launch of a new television network in partnership with Lionsgate, which should be a very exciting endeavor for him. “Excited to officially announce my brand new Live TV FAST Channel created in partnership with Lionsgate, 50 CENT ACTION,” he captioned a recent Instagram post. “Get ready for non-stop action, exclusive content, and your favorite movies and shows all for FREE! Sign up now to stay in the loop and get the latest updates. You won’t wanna miss this! Tap the link in bio for more info. Let’s get it! #50Cent #50Action #FreeTV 50CentAction.com.”

However, this comes amid a difficult and sad time for 50 Cent, as his grandfather Curtis Jackson Sr. recently passed away at 91. “You do know none of this s**t really matters, [winking emoji] we can’t take it with us,” he wrote of the loss. “I lost my Grandfather last night, now he can go everywhere with me. My old man is tuff act to follow, he sacrificed for all of us. He made me smile every time I saw him. The Last time he went to the hospital he was dehydrated so the nurse couldn’t find a vein. I came in, I said pop you alright? He said no, she stick me again and I’m a start shooting. LOL I almost fell out! South Side we out side WTF!”

50 Cent To Launch New TV Network

Elsewhere, though, 50 Cent has also reflected on his storied career recently, remarking on how he regrets certain rap beefs going too far for too long. “Look, I think we wasted too much time arguing,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “Me and Fat Joe, me and Cam’ron. There’s other guys like Jada [Jadakiss], we cleared it up easier. But we wasted time because it was just the competitive nature. It wasn’t like we crossed paths and had real heat for each other. It went on more with Joe because he’s more like me, he’s closer in character to me. When we’re at odds, we are at odds, and we did that for a long time. And because of his loyalty to Irv [Gotti] and Ja [Rule], because he worked with them, I was seeing him not be happy from the things that were making me happy.

“It’s easy for me to say, ‘F**k you’ if what makes me happy makes you unhappy,” 50 Cent concluded. “Then, we’re not on the same page and it turns into some s**t, and I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly happened. When you look back at it, you go, ‘Wait, what happened?’” 50 Cent concluded. “Because we didn’t even have no altercation or no specific thing that created it. Now he’s like my friend. I don’t care that he has relationships with people that I don’t. Because he’s always had those relationships.” Hopefully he doesn’t regret this new TV network.

Gunna Drops Official Music Video for New Track "back in the a"

Four-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated and multi-platinum Atlanta rap superstar Gunna dropped the official music video today for his title track “One of Wun.” Directed by Spike Jordan and filmed at the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, GA, this visual masterpiece brings a fresh narrative to Gunna’s latest hit.

In the video, Gunna takes on dual roles as two contrasting coaches competing against each other. One coach, calm and methodical, strategizes in the locker room, treating the game like a chess match. The other, energetic and commanding, drives the action from the sidelines. The tension rises with a championship on the line, but coach Gunna’s poise remains unshaken.

The video features a cameo from Atlanta’s own DJ Greg Street of V-103 and showcases a stellar cast including Tyran Stokes (#1 ranked player, class of 2026, Notre Dame High School, CA), Brandon McCoy Jr. (#2 ranked player, class of 2026, St. John Bosco, CA), Grant Nelson (Alabama University Men’s Basketball), Isaiah Elohim (University of Southern California Men’s Basketball), comedian and former pro football player Lou Young, and comedian Navv Greene. OTE players Parker Robinson (Rising Junior), Jayden Wilkins (Rising Sophomore), and Romelo Hill (Rising Junior) also make appearances.

The “One of Wun” video premiered on MTV Live, MTVU, Yo! MTV, and on the Paramount Times Square billboards. The song itself serves as a perfect soundtrack to success, echoing the determination and focus displayed in the visual narrative.

Gunna recently wrapped up the international leg of his acclaimed “Bittersweet” Tour, performing at major European festivals across Poland, Norway, France, England, and more. He also electrified the stage at Wireless Festival in London, UK, and delivered a standout performance at Broccoli City Festival in Washington, D.C.

“One of Wun” is the leading single from Gunna’s fifth studio album, marking his first full-length release since the 2023 chart-topping album “A Gift & a Curse.” The 20-track album features superstar collaborations with Offset, Normani, Leon Bridges, and Roddy Ricch.

Catch the “One of Wun” video on all major platforms and dive into Gunna’s latest project, which promises to be a landmark in his already stellar career. With the SODMG tour kicking off on September 7th, 2024, fans are in for an unforgettable experience as Gunna continues to dominate the rap scene.

Tinashe’s ‘Nasty’ Summer Is Just Getting Started As She Reveals Her ‘Quantum Baby’ Tracklist

Tinashe’s “Nasty” became an Uproxx “Song Of The Summer” candidate, and now, she’s coming for Album Of The Summer.

Quantum Baby is due out on August 16. When Tinashe dropped “Getting No Sleep” in late June, she described the album as “exploring who I am as a person and who I am as an artist. I’ve never been one to be put into a box, so the name Quantum Baby encompasses all the different parts that make up who I am as a creative.”

On Thursday, August 1, Tinashe revealed the album’s tracklist, as seen below.

1. “Tina.Sh3 / No Simulation”
2. “Getting No Sleep”
3. “Thirsty”
4. “Red Flags”
5. “Cross That Line”
6. “When I Get You Alone”
7. “No Broke Boys”
8. “Nasty”

Quantum Baby will arrive just short of a year since Tinashe released BB/ANG3L, her sixth studio album. This spring, Tinashe told Paper that “BB/ANG3L was always intended to be a trilogy, with Quantum Baby serving as the part two.

“I wanted to release it in three parts just to give people a real sense of what every section meant and really allow them all to marinate,” she told the publication. “Sometimes, you create music, and it just gets consumed so quickly. You spend years working on this art. And so, I wanted to pace myself in how I was releasing and drop it in three parts. I think, initially, people were kind of confused as to why the first part of the project was seven songs and didn’t understand that there was more coming. So I’m excited to release part two coming up.”

Quantum Baby is out 8/16 via Nice Life. Find more information here.
