Doja Cat Tells Jack Harlow Why “Scarlet” Was An “Angry” Album
Doja Cat says that her 2023 album, Scarlet, was an “angry project.” She made the comments while speaking with Jack Harlow for Present Space. The album featured several hit singles including “Paint the Town Red” and “Agora Hills.” It peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200.
“I think the point of that album was to showcase anger and how it processes through my mind, but also it’s about coming to your own defense and love,” Doja explained to Harlow. “It’s sort of my ‘Why I oughta!’ moment of squaring up with everyone and defending myself, telling myself that I’m here for me, and not just for everybody else’s enjoyment.”

From there, Doja discussed her relationship with social media and argued that humans aren’t evolved enough to use the internet. As for how she chooses who to follow, she explained: “I know that I just shouldn’t follow people who aren’t going to be creative, because that’s more mentally stimulating to me in a positive way, to follow people who are creating something new. It’s a safe haven for me as opposed to a place where I am watching people either pretend to be happy or genuinely be happy. I don’t want to use my phone in order to witness people’s happiness which I’d rather experience in reality.”
She’s made countless headlines for her antics on social media over the years. In 2023, she faced backlash after posting a selfie wearing a t-shirt featuring alt-right comedian Sam Hyde. She’s also gone back and forth with her followers on X (formerly Twitter) on numerous occasions. Be on the lookout for further updates on Doja Cat on HotNewHipHop.

On Lamar’s version of the track, he raps: “Sometimes I wonder what Lecrae would do / F*ck these n****s up or show ’em just what prayer do?” Crae first responded to the shout-out by writing on X (formerly Twitter) by writing: “Love you Dot….Always here. [praying hands emoji].”

More realness to show why he bothers either way Jesus in the first place.” Another user writes: “Bro. Pulling out the Isaiah 64 and hitting the original Hebrew with our ‘righteousness’ is as menstruous rags. Preach the Word, @lecrae. Those are the FACTS.

Ben Affleck Embraces Matt Damon’s Wife As He & Jennifer Lopez Continue Promoting New Film
Ben Affleck was spotted embracing and kissing Matt Damon’s wife, Luciana Damon, on the head on Friday. Paparazzi photographed the wholesome moment in Los Angeles. The meet-up between longtime friends comes after Damon made headlines for speaking with Jennifer Lopez at the Toronto International Film Festival, earlier this month. Affleck and Lopez are rumored to be in the process of a divorce.
Damon was with Lopez at TIFF to promote their new film, Unstoppable, which they worked on with Affleck. “What fun, what a joy to do something with her, see her be great, go to work with your wife, go to work with your best friend,” Affleck told CBS Sunday Mornings in March 2023 about working on the film. “If you don’t like who you’re working with, and if you have difficulty or trouble at work, I think it’s one of the things that can really cause depression, anxiety and pain for people … Can’t make it look like she’s doing it as a favor to me, but actually she is.” He didn’t attend the Toronto premiere.

Ben Affleck & Matt Damon Speak During The Golden Globe Awards
Matt and Luciana have been married since 2005. During an interview on the Radio Times Podcast in August, Damon discussed the relationship rumors swirling about Affleck and Lopez. “I’ve been really lucky in that way … especially when I look at Casey’s brother, Ben. I can’t imagine living under that kind of scrutiny. And it’s been like that for 25 years and we’ve had parallel careers in a lot of ways and so I’m fortunate to have been kind of excused from that part of [it],” he said. He added that the press likely doesn’t bother scrutinizing his marriage to Luciana as it’s “boring.”
Unstoppable will be hitting theaters later this year. In addition to Lopez, it stars Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle.

Lucki Attempts To Explain Playboi Carti Misunderstanding After Leaked DMs
Playboi Carti shared a series of direct messages between himself and Lucki on Instagram on Saturday, after believing the rapper dissed him on social media. In the messages, Lucki praised Carti and expressed his excitement about his new music. The disagreement comes after Carti shared his new song, “All Red,” on Friday.
Lucki eventually responded to the move in a video on Instagram Story, saying Carti misinterpreted one of his recent posts. “Like I said from the jump, I don’t dislike you,” he began. “You think, yesterday, because I bought a chain and I said, ‘crosses up,’ that I was sneak dissing you because you made a song that said, ‘upside down cross tat’ on my neck,’ but it wasn’t that though. I just bought a chain and was saying, ‘crosses up.’ You just insecure because you don’t love Jesus like that.” Afterward, Lucki shared an old picture of Carti wearing a shirt with “I [heart] Jesus” on it.

Lucki Responds To Playboi Carti
The feud comes as Carti continues to prepare for the release of his upcoming album, Music. In addition to releasing, “All Red,” he finally made the new album available to pre-order on his website.

GloRilla Samples Boosie Badazz’s Iconic Song, “Wipe Me Down,” For New Snippet
GloRilla used Boosie Badazz’s iconic single, “Wipe Me Down,” for a new song that she teased on social media, earlier this week. In a reworking of the track, she raps about being from Memphis, shouts out CMG, and more.
The snippet has fans on social media stoked. In the comments section of a post from The Neighborhood Talk, one user wrote: “If she keeps making music like that, she will last a very long time. Glo makes club bangers for sure. She’s different & she’s herself… I’m ready to hear the album.” Others complained about the current prevalence of sampling. One user argued: “Like I really love BIG GLO but can we normalize this generation creating some new beats and material for the next generation to idolize because it seems like all everybody is doing is sampling and not being originals like thats what Made Missy, Busta, Aaliyah etc ICONIC.”

Doechii’s Superstar Potential Grows With Katy Perry Single “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE”
Doechii has been on the come up for over the last year or so. Even though the TDE roster is stacked, she’s managed to remain as one of their most intriguing prospects and this year, she’s really breaking through. Just a couple of weeks ago, she dropped off her excellent mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal. While it’s got some flaws, it showcases that she’s got the stuff to be a true superstar. She possesses a lot of charisma, creativity, solid lyricism, as well as crossover appeal thanks to her ability to sing as well. The latter quality is what’s allowing Doechii to get on the radar of modern pop hitmaker Katy Perry.
Their new collab, “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE”, was previewed at the MTV VMAs this past Wednesday with both of them being able to perform it. If this isn’t another step into becoming one of the biggest rappers in the game, we aren’t sure what is. Overall, the song may annoy you on its first couple of listens and could come across as a generic pop rap radio hit. But it is growing on us a little bit, but that’s mostly thanks to Doechii adding some extra oomph to the single. As for Perry, this represents her third offering from her upcoming seventh album, 143, which is due September 20. Apparently, she’s going to be working with more MCs, including 21 Savage and JID, which isn’t too surprising given how many of them she’s worked with in the past.

Upper echelon rollin’ up in the shade
If you try to vibe with him, might catch a fade
