Travis Scott And Kendrick Lamar’s “Goosebumps” Earns Rare Milestone

by

Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar have earned diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America for their hit collaboration, “Goosebumps.” The song was included on Scott’s 2016 album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight. As one of the biggest hits from the project, it peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Congratulations to Travis Scott. I hope he still gets those Goosebumps every time,” one fan remarked. Another wrote: “Birds in the trap has so many bangers.” Other fans compared their level of success to Drake, as Lamar has been feuding with the Toronto rapper.

Scott previously recalled how the collaboration came together during an interview with Billboard at the time. “I met him at the MTV Video Music Awards one year and he came up to me and was just like, ‘Yo, man, I f*ck with your music. It’s super dope and inspirational.’ I was like, whoa, this is the best rapper in the globe – he f*cks with my music!” he said in 2016. “That’s one of the things that made me want to keep working on my music and try to keep it going ’cause I’m not the most rappity rap ass n***a. That’s not me but I really love Kendrick’s music.”

Rick Ross Reveals Why He Responded To Drake And Not The Game

by

Amid the viral 20 V. 1 Drake beef of the summer, Rick Ross jumped in, taking various shots at the Toronto hitmaker on “Champagne Moments.” Of course, his taunting appeared to backfire soon after, when he was attacked in Vancouver for playing Kendrick’s Drake diss “Not Like Us” at a festival. He opened up about the feud with Shannon Sharpe for Nightcap Summer Sessions from Houston this week, making it clear why he decided to respond in the first place.

“On some rap sh*t it was no conspiracies,” he began. “Rozay name was said, Rozay, I’mma jump off the porch. That’s what I do… I’mma jump off the porch and I’mma have some fun, and that’s what I did, I had some fun.” From there, Ross also explained how he decides whether or not to respond, an apparent nod to The Game.

Rozay Says Not Responding Is A Response

The Game unleashed a scathing diss track directed at Ross in May, “Freeway’s Revenge,” blasting him for his past as a correctional officer, lifestyle choices, and much more. Ross never responded aside from some shady Instagram Stories, but according to him, this was a response in itself. During the interview, Ross explained that his choice to respond or not respond is determined by whether or not he has something to gain from it. “Not responding is a response when you a boss,” he added.

The Game isn’t the only person Rick Ross has yet to respond to, however. The Drake fan who attacked him in Vancouver, Icarus, mocked him for the brawl on a diss track called “White Boy” earlier this month. What do you think of Rick Ross opening up about his beef with Drake during a recent interview with Shannon Sharpe? What about his explanation for responding to Drake and not The Game? Do you agree that not responding was a response in itself? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Lil Woody Claims Prosecutors Almost Got On Their Knees To Get Him To Testify

by

Lil Woody says that prosecutors were ready to get on their knees in an effort to beg him to testify. He made the comments in jail calls that were played for the jury in court on Wednesday as Woody continues to testify in the ongoing YSL RICO case. When Young Thug’s attorney Brian Steel asked who specifically he was referring to, Woody remarked, “Ms. Love.” He appeared to be referencing Assistant Chief District Attorney Adriane Love. A clip of the moment is going viral on social media.

“I just wonder who is going to play Steel in the movie,” one fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote in response. Another added: “Wait them grabbing him when he posta be in court ain’t that messing with his due process??” One more defended Woody: “This is fabulous, but I’m worried about Woody being targeted in a big way by Love at this point. You know she’s plotting.”

Opening statements are set to begin in the case against 31-year-old US rapper Young Thug and 28 others, who are facing a racketeering indictment accusing the defendants of a number of offenses that support an overarching conspiracy charge, including murder, assault, carjacking, drug dealing, and theft.

The viral moment comes after Woody recently admitted to having lied about Thug back in 2015. “The police kept locking me up for whatever they could,” he said. “Every time I counted the door, the police was on me, and they keep bringing up Thug’s name. So what I did was to get ’em out off me, I said, ‘Thug did this. Thug did that. Thug,’ because I knew they were—I knew he didn’t do it.”

Foolio Murder Suspect Bobs Head To Yungeen Ace Song During Court Hearing

by

If Gudda Zay is wanting to “be home soon”, then he is really not doing a great job with that. The rapper, real name Isaiah Chance, is a current suspect of the murder of Jacksonville, Florida rapper, Foolio. The latter was tragically killed while celebrating his 26th birthday at a Tampa Holiday Inn in late June. As it stands, Chance is one of three in custody, as it seems there is still a fifth one on the loose. According to HypeFresh, Chance’s, Sean Gathright’s, and Alicia Andrews’ next court hearing will go down in September.

However, before that point, there is some potentially revealing evidence that could be used against Chance in future court appearances. HypeFresh and No Jumper got their hands on some footage which shows the over-confident suspect vibing to some of Yungeen Ace’s music during his hearing. Ace obviously has a lot of history with Foolio, dissing him on multiple occasions. Both were/are in rival gangs, so it would appear that Chance could have some affiliation with Ace based on him bobbing his head to his music.

Or, Chance could be with another gang that is not known of yet. If that’s the case, that’s what these future trials are for. He’s currently facing a first-degree murder charge at the time of writing, which has fans really wondering why he would do such a thing. “Yea bros done 😂 they done used the goobie goober method on him”, one IG user says. “He just told without telling”, another adds.

What are your thoughts on this Foolio murder suspect bobbing his head to some Yungeen Ace in court? Do you think Isaiah Chance is bound to receive time based on this video, 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 Foolio, his murder trial, and Yungeen Ace.

Blueface’s Mom Insists He Will Marry Megan Thee Stallion

by

Blueface is currently behind bars for an alleged parole violation, where he is likely to remain for the foreseeable future. The rapper was handed a four-year sentence earlier this month, though he expects to be home by March 2025. It remains to be seen what plays out in his case, but evidently, he could have some big things to look forward to once he gets out.

During a recent Instagram Live, Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold claimed that he’ll be marrying none other than Megan Thee Stallion, whether critics like it or not. This is far from the first time she’s advocated for the relationship. Blueface has yet to share how he feels about all of this, however.

Karlissa Saffold Announces Blueface’s Unofficial Marriage Plans

He’s believed to be back with the mother of his third child Chrisean Rock, who is also currently in prison. She’s yet to be formally sentenced, but reportedly, she could receive up to eight years. They still appear to be on good terms, though they’re likely not getting a lot of time to catch up considering the circumstances. Blueface also shares two children with Jaidyn Alexis, who Saffold says is no longer interested in her son. Despite this, she’ll “always be family,” according to the Aunt-Tea Podcast host.

As for Meg, she just hard launched her relationship with Chicago Bulls’ Torrey Craig. They did a couple’s TikTok challenge earlier this week to share the news, indicating that she’s not interested in rekindling things with Blueface. While this is certainly exciting for Meg and the athlete, it likely came as a major disappointment to Saffold, who’s been rooting for Meg and her son for months. What do you think of Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold insisting that he will marry Megan Thee Stallion? Do you agree with her or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
