Dame Dash Claims Drake Offered To Buy His “Reasonable Doubt” Share

Like many other of his hip-hop relationships, Drake shares a pretty rocky history with Jay-Z. They’ve sent supposed subliminals at each other, collaborated, and gone back and forth on this dynamic at least twice now. Moreover, many folks think that Kendrick Lamar performing at the Super Bowl halftime show over Lil Wayne is Hov’s way of slighting Young Money (and by extension, the 6ix God) through his NFL partnership. Some folks think that Jay offered it to Drizzy in the past to no avail. But Dame Dash recently threw another wrench into this history, as he claimed that The Boy reached out to him to respond to Dame’s sale offers for his one-third share of Reasonable Doubt.

“As for battle rap, there’s never been a battle rap where, you know, the record becomes a hit, puts another artist in a very uncomfortable position – pause – and then they get to perform it at the Super Bowl,” Dame Dash said of the Toronto superstar’s Kendrick battle and the Super Bowl debate. “I’m thinking, like, what I would do if I was Drake. I’d be like, ‘Well, a big W would be to come to the Super Bowl with one of these Roc-A-Fella chains.’ Drake hollered at me through a DM and made and offer. I’m not quite sure what happened. But I thought that he had got with Jay on something, but I don’t know.

“But it would be a good time to close if you got it,” Dame Dash continued. “You know, I wouldn’t do it if you don’t got it. If you want to own Reasonable Doubt, if you want to own a third of it, have a say at the board meeting for at least the next seven years and make money off of it, I would get these chains. Or one, you get one. And I’ma make it even better. I spoke to Alligator Jesus and I was like, ‘Yo, if somebody does buy it for this price, now I got to give some Roc-A-Fella grills.’ So I guess I’ll put up some Roc-A-Fella grills as well if you have the bread.”

Meanwhile, one of the producers for the Super Bowl halftime show, Jesse Collins, recently claimed to Variety that Jay-Z is the one who picks its artists. “It’s a decision that Jay makes,” he remarked regarding the decision-making that goes on behind the scenes. “Since we’ve been on board with that show, he’s made it every year, and it’s been amazing. He’s always picked right!

The feud with Desiigner began after 50’s appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, earlier this month. On the show, he revealed that he considered signing the up-and-coming rapper back in the day, before he partnered with Kanye West. “I had him at the office. I was like, ‘Yo, let me hear the other records you got.’ And he’s like… ‘That’s it,’” he recalled. “And the sh*t was so hot that he had, I was struggling. But I was like, ‘Nah, I can’t give that n***a that money. Let them give him whatever the f*ck they gonna give him.’”

Trump Introduces Latin Music Star Nicky Jam At Rally But Says “She’s Hot” In Weird Gaffe

image

Before the chaos in Florida, you might have caught what happened at a recent Las Vegas rally, where Donald Trump misgendered reggaeton star Nicky Jam while introducing him.

Look, let’s call it what it is. Trump probably had no clue who Nicky Jam was and calling him a woman and proceeding to call him (thinking he was a she) hot, is just his typical misogyny towards women in plain sight.

Specifically, Trump said, “Latin music superstar Nicky Jam. Do you know Nicky? She’s hot.” The incident occurred during a Friday event at The Expo at World Market Center.

Trump weirdly and quickly corrected himself once Nicky Jam, whose real name is Nick Rivera Caminero, approached the stage. “Oh, look, I’m glad he came up,” Trump remarked. Wearing a red “Make America Great Again” cap, Nicky Jam expressed his gratitude, telling Trump, “People that come from where I come from, they don’t meet the president. So, I’m lucky. We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.”

Weird. Just plain, weird.

Nicky Jam, originally from Massachusetts and raised in Puerto Rico, is one of several reggaeton stars, including Anuel AA and Justin Quiles, who have shown support for Trump’s presidential candidacy. Despite the misgendering, Nicky Jam seemed to brush off the incident, posting a photo with Trump on Instagram with the caption, “Nicky jam la potra la bichota,” along with laughing emojis. The phrase translates loosely to “the filly, the big shot,” a Latin slang term popularized by Colombian singer Karol G in her 2020 song, “Bichota.”

Anyways not everyone was happy about Jam’s endorsement and he’s receiving plenty of fallout over the appearance at the rally.

Former Laker Coach Byron Scott Changes His Tune On JJ Redick Head Coach Hiring

image

Great thing about opinions, you can change them. Apparently, that’s the case with Byron Scott, former Lakers player and coach, who just revised his opinion on the Los Angeles Lakers’ decision to hire JJ Redick as their new head coach.

ICYMI, initially, Scott was critical of the move, expressing doubts about Redick’s lack of professional coaching experience.

While speaking with our friends at TMZ Sports, Scott said, “I got a lot of respect for him because of what he’s done in the league, but when it comes to coaching, people wanted an experienced coach.” His perspective changed after learning about the seasoned coaching staff Redick assembled, including veteran coaches Nate McMillan and Scott Brooks. McMillan has coached teams like the Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks, while Brooks led the Oklahoma City Thunder to the NBA Finals.

Get this, Scott acknowledged the impact of these additions, saying, “You got some guys who have head coaching experience, who’ve been on that bench before, who’ve won championships on that bench.” With this experienced support, Scott now feels more confident in Redick’s potential to succeed with the Lakers.

“I’m excited. I think JJ’s going to do well with the staff that he has and the players that he has,” Scott went on to add. He also emphasized the importance of LeBron James and Anthony Davis staying healthy for the team’s success under Redick’s leadership. According to Scott, the Lakers’ ability to thrive this season will largely depend on keeping their star players available.

Check this, although initially skeptical, Scott has grown optimistic about Redick’s prospects as head coach. He also hinted at future coaching plans of his own, suggesting something significant might be on the horizon for his career. For now, Scott is focused on watching how Redick and his new coaching staff navigate the upcoming NBA season.

At the end of the day, he can watch all day long but JJ Redick is the coach. Period.

Sexyy Red Viciously Twerks On Kodak Black Onstage And Brings Out Lil Durk In St. Louis

You can say what you want about Sexyy Red, but you cannot deny that she’s always looking to show love. If you remember, Kodak Black was going through it not too long ago. He shared a pretty disheartening and concerning message on his Instagram Story, saying, “Now I understand nobody give af about me if I ain’t paying💔 Lonely af out here bro😣”. After seeing that, the St. Louis, Missouri rapper wanted to help out and sent a heartwarming reply to her Florida contemporary. “I seen your post. Motherf***ers don’t love you if ain’t got no money for them. I said I feel you Yak. It’s okay. We fixing to go on tour“.

She continued, “You going to thug with me okay? We both got some money. We gone thug… and have fun. F*** them broke a** h**s. Imma turn you up”. Well, ever since she’s recruited him to join her for her Sexyy Red 4 President trek, they have been doing just that. During her second stop in Texas, Red was throwing it back on Black which seemed to boost his spirits.

More of the same happened, perhaps even more intensely than last time over the weekend. He joined her once again and as you can see; they were going at it onstage. At point, Kodak even grabs Sexyy by the waist, upping the ante even more so. However, that wasn’t the only fun she had over these last few concerts. Lil Durk also made an appearance, but what appears to be in a different location. She brought him out for her return back to her hometown, and the “Hellcats SRTs 2” collaborators embraced onstage in front of thousands. Again, say what you want, but the hitmaker is becoming more of a force and ally to a lot of rappers by the second.

What are your thoughts on Sexyy Red throwing it back on Kodak Black, and popping out in St. Louis with Lil Durk? Do you think adding these big-time guests saved her tour, why or why not? Is she the wildest performer in the genre right now? 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 Sexyy Red, Lil Durk, and Kodak Black. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Super Bowl Halftime Show Producer Claims Jay-Z Chooses The Artists Amid Kendrick Lamar & Lil Wayne Debacle

The Super Bowl LIX halftime show in New Orleans next year on February 9 quickly became one of the hottest hip-hop debates of the year. Moreover, we’re sure you already have your take on Kendrick Lamar getting the headlining slot, and on Lil Wayne missing out on it despite NOLA being his home city. What none of us really know is what the actual process for this looked like. Some fans believe that Jay-Z, who works with the NFL for entertainment endeavors, made the final decision, whereas other reports indicate that it’s not so simple. But as if we needed more contradicting narratives and claims, we now have a new one to unpack.

Jesse Collins, an executive producer for the Super Bowl halftime show since 2021, recently dropped a bombshell claim in his recent Variety interview. “It’s a decision that Jay makes,” he said of the selection process. “Since we’ve been on board with that show, he’s made it every year, and it’s been amazing. He’s always picked right!” While this is a pretty literal statement, it’s impossible to know for sure whether Collins is really talking about a one-sided decision. After all, it could just be a general answer.

Elsewhere during the interview, Jesse Collins said more about next year’s Super Bowl halftime show, specifically the Lil Wayne controversy. “We love Wayne,” he remarked. “There’s always Vegas odds on who’s going to get to perform it. But I think we’re going to do an amazing show with Kendrick, and I think everybody’s going to love the halftime show. I know Kendrick is going to work exceptionally hard to deliver an amazing show.” Collins also had high praise for K.Dot and Beyoncé’s performance of “Freedom” at the 2016 BET Awards, a spectacle he also helped produce.

Meanwhile, another Jay-Z debate concerning the Super Bowl halftime show is whether or not he offered it to Drake in the past. Some folks think so, others don’t believe it. Nevertheless, this opened up another avenue for criticism and scrutiny when it comes to this halftime show decision. As you’ve probably already experienced, all these moving parts just look like a whole bunch of contradictions and vague obfuscations. We will probably never know for sure…
