Wack 100 Reacts To Lawsuit Rumors After Leaking Irv Gotti Stroke News
Late last month, Wack 100 revealed that Irv Gotti suffered a stroke earlier this year on his podcast. He went on to share a photo of him walking with a cane. This prompted a great deal of backlash from social media users at the time, as he faced accusations of being insensitive. Regardless, Gotti’s team confirmed the news in a statement, also stating that he’s since made a full recovery.
“Irv has been struggling with diabetes for years, which caused him to have a minor stroke over six months ago,” a rep for Gotti told TMZ. “He has since changed his diet to eating more healthy. He’s been successful in making a full recovery. Irv is not in a rehab facility. He is at home with his family, enjoying life.”

Wack 100 Hopes Lawsuit Rumors Are Nothing But Clickbait
(@nojumper)Now, however, rumors have been floating around online that Wack 100 could face legal repercussions for sharing Gotti’s medical information without his or his family’s permission. For now, it’s unclear whether or not this is truly a possibility, and whether or not Gotti would even be interested in pursuing this. Either way, Wack 100 took to Instagram earlier this week to react to the rumors, making it clear that he’s not looking for any of that smoke.
“This has to be click bait 
Please don’t get me started … Ima act like this is [cap emoji],” he wrote simply. It looks like fans will just have to wait and see whether or not there’s any truth to these rumors.

Destroy Lonely & Ken Carson Flex Their Chemistry On “THRILL”
Massive albums are a byproduct of the streaming era for sure. 18-19/20-21 song projects are more common than ever before and it’s a person-by-person case if that’s a good thing or not. For us, we prefer shorter listens, as we feel it creates a higher chance of the project sounding tighter in all aspects. In that same breath, we can see why other artists are loading up the tracklists. For example, Destroy Lonely is one who is still forging his own path in a world crowded with rage/trap copycats. Longer listens allow for rising names to mess around with more sounds, melodies, and structuring to see what could be worth revisiting down the road.
We feel that Destroy Lonely is doing that to some extent on LOVE LASTS FOREVER, with “THRILL” being one of those instances. Like quite a few tracks, there are some things to like about it. The track kicks off with this amusement park-like intro before smoothly transitions into the head-nodding and atmospheric trap beat. Also helping “THRILL” is the inclusion of Opium teammate Ken Carson. They trade verses and adlib for each other at certain points, keeping things interesting. Furthermore, the guest’s chorus is pretty catchy too, making it a more a memorable listen. Overall, it’s a solid track, and one that could be made better in the future with slightly improved mixing and writing.

“THRILL” – Destroy Lonely & Ken Carson
Quotable Lyrics:
N****s be talking that— huh, n****s ain’t talkin’ ’bout nothin’, huh, huh

I’m all in her jaw, just like bubble gum, yeah, woah

Joe Budden Defends Ice Spice Amid Cleotrapa Drama And Says Fans Are Clueless On How Touring Works
Joe Budden says the accusations Cleotrapa made against Ice Spice are fairly common in the music industry and the internet doesn’t know how touring works. Cleo claimed Ice Spice and her team mistreated her on the Y2K! World Tour. She shared stories of having to use bathrooms as dressing rooms, not being afforded food, and more.
Budden began by arguing that Ice Spice isn’t calling any of the shots on her tour. “She don’t have no say over nothing,” he said. “She has not sold enough records to be in this position and on tour, every single dollar is accounted for months before we went on tour. I know exactly how much each of these rooms are gonna cost. I know exactly how much the gas is gonna cost. We can’t afford another bus but we got another bus. Okay let’s bring some other people, but those people are for free. There’s no budget. Every single dollar is accounted for.”
Cleotrapa Performs During Ice Spice’s “Y2K! World Tour”
Budden’s comments echoed those of Spice’s manager, James Rosemond Jr., who argued that Cleo’s team should’ve set more realistic expectations for what the tour would be like. “If another bigger artist hit my client & say come on tour w/ her or him w/one day to prepared. As the manager I would advise my client this is risky, I would then connect w/ the other artist’s mgmt & agent immediately to advance logistics to see if it makes sense. To avoid hiccups,” he wrote in one of many posts on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.

Budden isn’t the only celebrity to comment on the situation. Azealia Banks, Cardi B, and more artists have also spoken out in the days since Cleo came forward with her claims.

Lil Wayne Jokes About The Wait For “Tha Carter VI” In Uplifting Midweek Message
Lil Wayne fans have been hoping for Tha Carter VI for several years now, something the rapper is well aware of. Recently, for example, he took to Instagram to joke about the long-awaited album with a playful clip. In it, he nods to the notion that he’s constantly in the studio but has still yet to deliver his most anticipated project.
“I’m in the studio as usual,” he began. “Just finished working on a couple features. I would tell y’all who it is, but you know I wouldn’t do that. It’d f*ck it up. So shoutout to those artists.” Weezy continued, joking that he’s gotten through quite a bit of material. “I’m working on [Tha] Carter VI, I just want you to know that,” he said. “I just haven’t finished… I’m lying — I’m working on Carter 26. I think you already know that.”

Big Sean Lays Down Some Of His Best Bars On Introspective Posse Cut “Million Pieces”
With more and more listens, Big Sean’s sixth album Better Me Than You is a little inconsistent. There are some very high highs and extremely low lows. It’s a shame, because we would even argue that there are some all-time great performances from the Michigan MC. One of those is Big Sean’s track with Teyana Taylor, Larry June, and DJ Premier, “Million Pieces”. Hit-Boy and Milan Beker are also in the mix on the production side, so this is truly a stacked track in both aspects.
However, there are tons of cases where an all-star cast of talent doesn’t mean a successful collaboration. In fact, there are some on this album that prove that. But “Million Pieces” strives in a lot of ways and one of which is Big Sean’s performance. Larry’s verse is solid, but as it should be, the lead artist has the much stronger writing. Throughout his section, he utilizes the “million pieces” phrasing in multiple and cool ways. For instance, Sean talks about his father’s dreams of becoming an actor. It never came to fruition, so any time that his pops brings it up, it shatters Sean into a “million pieces”. This just one example, so you’ll have to check out the track to hear the rest for yourself.

Quotable Lyrics:
My life is just one big puzzle that’s broken into a million pieces
I’ve been tryin’ to sequence, it gets hard as
Losin’ the one you love, done shared a million things with
When I’m done, they’ll probably put my bones in museums
Like that’s one of the last from n****s, ever
‘Cause at this rate, we’ll all be extinct then

NBA Star Kevin Durant Invests in French Soccer Club PSG
Fresh from his successful quest to pick up a fourth Olympic gold medal, veteran NBA star Kevin Durant has become a minority shareholder at big-spending Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain. Clearly, the Phoenix Suns star has enjoyed his time in the French capital, and his move to invest in the soccer club came as part of his involvement with Arctos Sports Partners, who have a 12.5% stake in PSG.
35-year-old Durant is known to be a big soccer fan, and though PSG no longer has two of their most bankable assets, with Kylian Mbappe moving to Real Madrid over the summer and Lionel Messi having moved to Inter Miami a year earlier, the Parc des Princes side are still among Europe’s elite and have successful manager Luis Enrique at the helm.
Durant showed glimpses of his best during his first full season at Phoenix in 2023/24, and Suns fans who feel that the legendary star could help the Arizona-based franchise to their first-ever NBA title would do well to take a good look at the key insights and info relating to the best sportsbooks here, thereby assisting efforts to make the biggest bang for their buck.
By all accounts, Durant is a good friend of PSG president Nasse al Khelaifi and he is part-owner of MLS side Philadelphia Union. It does seem very fashionable for big US stars to get financially involved in soccer right now.
Clearly what Ryan Reynold and Rob McElhenney have done at Wrexham may well have aided this phenomenon, the co-owners helping the Welsh side rise from the fifth-tier of English football to League One. In addition to this, actor Michael B. Jordan has invested in Premier League side AFC Bournemouth, with the Black Panther star putting his money where his mouth is in terms of the South Coast club.
Then there’s LeBron James, who has been involved with Premier League giants Liverpool for a number of years now. PSG are, by some distance, the biggest club in French football, hence their run of 10 domestic titles over the past 12 years, with the only sides to break that dominance being AS Monaco in 2016/17 and Lille in 2020/21.
It’s worth noting that prior to major investment from Qatar, PSG had won just two Ligue 1 titles in forty years, which goes some way to illustrate just how far the club have come in the past decade or so.
They are still hot in pursuit of their first-ever UEFA Champions League title, having reached the final in 2019/20, only to lose to Bayern Munich by a solitary goal from former player Kingsley Coman.
In 2024/25, Durant will hope to steer the Suns deep into the postseason and will hope to impress new head coach Mike Budenholzer, who came in to replace Frank Vogel, who lasted just one season at the Footprint Center.
He signed a five-year deal in May, worth a reported $50 million, making him the fifth-highest-paid coach in the NBA.
Prior to his appointment as Suns head coach, he spent five years at the Milwaukee Bucks, having also spent five years at the Atlanta Hawks prior to that. He led the Bucks to the 2021 NBA title but was then fired in May 2023 after they lost to the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs in five games.

Raygun Argues She’s Still The Best Breakdancer In Australia
Raygun says that she’s the best breakdancer in Australia and the controversy surrounding her performance at the Paris Olympics boils down to most viewers not understanding “the diversity of approaches in breaking.” Raygun discussed the event, becoming a viral sensation, and the accusations she’s faced in the time since during an interview with The Project.
“I think my record speaks to that,” she said of being worthy to compete at the Olympics. “I was the top-ranked Australian b-girl in 2020 and 2022 and 2023 … The record is there. But anything can happen in a battle.” She went on to admit her chances of actually winning were low. “I knew my chances were slim,” she said. “As soon as I qualified, I was like, ‘Oh my god, what have I done?’ Because I knew that I was gonna get beaten and I knew people were not gonna understand my style and what I was gonna do.” Regardless, she’s “very sorry for the backlash that the community has experienced.”

After the Olympics, rumors began to spread that Raygun had conspired to even qualify in the first place. “The conspiracy theories were just awful,” she said. “That was really—that was upsetting because it wasn’t just people that didn’t understand breaking and were just angry about my performance. It was people now attacking our reputation and integrity. None of them were grounded in any kind of facts. And obviously they’re still circulating. People still don’t believe the truth, but we do live in a different world now.”
Raygun Discusses Her Viral Performance In Paris
Raygun ended up not securing a single point for breakdancing and the sport will not be featured in Los Angeles at the 2028 Olympic games. Check out her full comments from the interview with The Project below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Raygun on HotNewHipHop.

Dr. Dre Links Up With Mustard In Studio Amid Snoop Dogg Album Hype
Hip-hop in general has had an importantly resurgent year thus far in 2024. You can certainly point to a lot of MCs for that. However, producers, like usual, are contributing their fair share as well. One of them has been Mustard (DJ Mustard). After remaining quite silent for a little while, these first nine months have been opposite. You’ve heard his producer tag all throughout the summer thanks to his production on Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”. Additionally, though, you can point to his latest solo album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed. He was able to grab tons of impressive guests, including Travis Scott, Young Thug, ScHoolboy Q, Quavo, Roddy Ricch, and more.
Hopefully, very soon, we can add Dr. Dre to this conversation. Over the last couple of months or so, we have been receiving some encouraging updates surrounding Missionary. It’s being billed as the sequel project to Doggystyle, which of course is Snoop Dogg’s iconic debut. Dr. Dre is handling all of its production and there’s some belief that November will be the month it arrives. It would make sense, as the 23rd of that month will mark the 31st anniversary of Doggystyle. But while that’s in the works, Dr. Dre is taking some time away to meet up with Mustard.

Could Mustard Be Helping Dr. Dre With Snoop’s Album?
View this post on Instagram
According to HipHopDX, the Perfect Ten creator shared the photo of them in the studio together with the caption, “Back in the lab with my pen and my pad.” This could mean a lot of things. One, Mustard could be receiving some knowledge from one of the West Coast pioneers. He could just be referencing some of Dre’s iconic lyrics. Or they could be cooking up some beats for Missionary. Hopefully, it’s the last one and will be running to the credits for Missionary when it drops to see if Mustard was granted a great opportunity.
What are your thoughts on Dr. Dre and Mustard flicking up in the studio together? Do you think this could mean anything for Snoop Dogg’s Missionary? Or do you see it being just them bouncing ideas off each other? 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 Mustard and Dr. Dre. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
