Joe Budden believes that the hype surrounding women in Hip Hop is over because he doesn’t see the results in record sales anymore.

Meek Mill Was Reportedly Involved In A Car Accident And Claims It Was Supposedly Due To A Manufacturing Issue
Over the past few months, Meek Mill has tried to keep his head down. When the “Too Good To Be True” rapper made a public appearance, it was to raise awareness for probation reform through his nonprofit organization (Reform Alliance) or to tease a reunion with his former Maybach Music Group labelmate, Wale.
But as he prepared to reenter the spotlight, Meek faced a few unfortunate circumstances. Yesterday (March 1), Meek was reportedly involved in a bad car accident, which he claims was due to a manufacturing issue.
In a post on his Instagram Stories, Meek uploaded a photo of the frightening crash. “God telling [me] don’t crash out for the busta,” he wrote. “Imma listen, sh*t knocked me out, LOL. GMC. The whole brake pedal slipped off my first time driving SMH.”
While Meek should be celebrating the release of his latest EP, Heathenism, he has to tend to both his physical health and mental well-being. Meek’s reference to crashing out is seemingly in response to his string of posts on X (formerly Twitter) to shut down claims made in a new lawsuit that he was involved in a sexual relationship with Diddy.
Meek Mill has denied the remarks made in the filing.
Stop asking me if I’m straight I’m just gonna play it raw how the world is … I’m blessed I’m okay but I ain’t hearing nothing good looking!
— MeekMill (@MeekMill) March 2, 2024
Heathenism EP is out now via DreamChasers. Find more information here.
Meek Mill is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Saweetie Claims Music Execs Told Her Twerk More Because Her Voice Was “Boring”
Saweetie has claimed that during the early years of her career, music execs told her to twerk more because her voice was flat. “I was told I should twerk more on my Instagram. I was told that my voice was very boring – I was told that I rapped too monotone and needed more energy. And I was told that I needed to share more of my life on the internet. I’m going to twerk when I want to. That’s not going to be my marketing. And if that’s what you truly love to do, then empower yourself through that,” Saweetie told Allure magazine.
Elsewhere in the interview, the rapper also explained the delay in the release of her debut album. “I just feel like nobody was caring about my music. To me, music is sacred. It’s coming from your spirit. You can’t just go finish an album in a week. That’s why it’s taking me so long. That’s why I haven’t dropped an album yet. I don’t mean to dampen the mood,” she told the outlet. “But this is, realistically, how my career has been. We were constantly criticized for every drop. I was just very insecure. I’m a confident woman, but I was a very insecure artist,” Saweetie further stated.

Meanwhile, Saweetie has no time for those hating on her new track “Richtivities”. “yall support a lot of mid music maybe I’ll fit in 
,” the rapper wrote in response to someone calling “good looking” but having “mid” music. Furthermore, she took issue with people calling her out for never having “struggled” as she said “Richtivities” was inspired by music that made her “hustle harder”. “praying u have more discernment since u believe everything u see 
,” she replied to one critic. “Part time receptionist, part time jordan ambassador, part time coder, part time waitress, created my clothing line MMM & successfully ran it by myself. What’s this called then?” she shot back at another.
“Richtivities” dropped after being teased by the rapper last month. Saweetie posted up poolside to preview her new track. The hook (“I’m doing rich sh-t”) played on repeat as the rapper vibed in pleated corset top and dark pants. From what is heard, the track has Saweetie’s classic pointed vocals and hard, hype-style beat. Fans online seemed pretty pumped for the track. “I kinda like it her music b gettin me hyped when i b doin my makeup & she talkin dat pretty b shi shes not the most lyrical obviously but it b a cool lil vibe,” one person said. However, not everyone was digging the track. “I want Saweetie to go back to her style during 2019. That icy girl/boujee girl flow was EVERYTHING,” another commenter countered.

Cardi B Gets Love From Missy Elliott & Timbaland For “Like What (Freestyle)”
Cardi B’s new single “Like What (Freestyle)” is still making big waves this weekend as one of its biggest releases. It’s a fiery track that samples Missy Elliott and Timbaland’s classic beat off the 1999 single “She’s a B***h,” which appeared on the former’s sophomore Da Real World and was produced by the latter. Moreover, the duo shared excited co-signs on their Instagram Stories when the song dropped, with Timbo writing “Da [crown emoji]” and Missy sharing a post of the song’s cover art with some dancing emojis. Regardless of what fans think of the record, this is the highest praise that a sample-using artists can get.
Of course, Cardi B is far from the first person to use this beat after Missy Elliott and Timbaland. BIA sampled the instrumental for a banger recently, so did Flo Milli with some similarly great verses over it, and it was most famously used by Ski Mask the Slump God for his 2017 cut, “Catch Me Outside.” This song defined the SoundCloud rap generation in our eyes, and its creator took to Twitter to comment on the similarities between “Like What (Freestyle)” and his own work. When fans assumed he said this in a negative or shady way, he quickly clarified that he actually likes the Bronx rapper’s take.

Missy Elliott & Timbaland Reportedly Salute Cardi B
Overall, this excitement and endorsement simply builds up even more hype for Cardi B’s next album. With recent confirmation that a Shakira collab will also show up on it, die-hards are really looking forward to this new direction. It’s been six years since Invasion of Privacy, and although there’s been no shortage of singles and big moments to keep her in the news cycle, there’s a lot more competition these days in the femcee world. As such, it’s do or die time.
Meanwhile, what do you think about “Like What (Freestyle)”? Do you agree with fans’ praise of it or is this legendary duo overrating this release? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Cardi B, Missy Elliott, and Timbaland.

North West Tried To Set Up La La Anthony With Michael B. Jordan, She Reveals
North West and La La Anthony are quite the wholesome best friend duo, bonded thanks to the former’s mother and the latter’s good friend Kim Kardashian. As such, it’s always interesting to see how they show their fun times on social media, because things aren’t as innocent as makeup and paintings anymore. Moreover, the two engaged in (presumably) a TikTok trend about best friends in which they say all the things that make each other a number one companion. During one of Ye’s daughter’s remarks, she said the following: “We’re best friends! Of course I was trying to hook her up with Michael B. Jordan!”
It was a pretty funny moment that had them both laughing, although they didn’t really elaborate on the story behind this claim. They closed out the video by singing along to North West’s verse on her dad’s song “TALKING” off of the Ty Dolla $ign collab album VULTURES 1. This actually made her one of the youngest artists ever to chart on Billboard, which Kim Kardashian was incredibly proud of. In fact, it was particularly heartening to see considering the strained relationship that the ten-year-old’s parents have.

North West & La La Anthony Reveal Curious Claim About Michael B. Jordan
“KIM TAKE MY KIDS OUT OF SIERRA CANYON NOW,” Ye shared on Instagram recently concerning North West and his and Kim’s three other children. “IT’S A FAKE SCHOOL FOR CELEBRITIES THAT ARE USED BY ‘THE SYSTEM.’ At this point everybody knows what ‘the system’ is code word for. I was removed from my dad by the system and the system removed me from my children. When the system drafts athletes they avoid working with those who have their father in their life because they are harder to manipulate. My two oldest know [who] they daddy is.”
Meanwhile, we’re sure that Miss Westie and La La will continue to fool around and have fun on TikTok. Regardless of the darker context behind the former’s family life, it’s amazing to see that she can still enjoy herself, be free, and make connections with folks in any age range. Maybe they’ll do another updated installment of this down the road. For more news and the latest updates on North West and La La Anthony, stay up to date on HNHH.

“Baddies Caribbean” Auditions Result In Chaos & Ambulance Assistance
The Baddies Caribbean auditions went about as well as one would expect from a wild and high-octane Zeus Network reality television show. Moreover, a new promo clip emerged online of how fans and hopeful case members reacted to the arrival of the auditions’ three judges: Natalie Nunn, Shenseea, and Spice. For folks looking to get into this reality series now with this new spinoff, maybe they can check out the recent Baddies East reunion for a sneak peek. But this new program indicates plenty of signs, like Nunn pouring a bottle of liquor down someone in line’s throat, that these ladies love to have fun.
However, things were just as hectic, chaotic, and combative as the Baddies shows tend to be by default. For example, a fight broke out among those waiting for their audition in line, and it roped in a lot of other passerby before security stepped in to cool things down. In addition, someone called an ambulance for a woman who apparently passed out after intoxication, although this is unconfirmed at press time. As for the auditions themselves, social media reacted pretty fervently to all the antics that ensued during them.

Baddies Caribbean Auditions Were As Wild As You’d Think: Watch
Unfortunately for everyone involved in the Baddies crew, there’s a bit more bad press going on around the show than usual. Still, this isn’t exactly because of one of the cast members, but because of a debated controversy that she is a part of. Tee Kissen of Baddies East accused Los Angeles Lakers player Christian Wood of abusive threats and behavior in his relationship with her friend, the mother of his child. It’s still unclear exactly what happened here, and it remains a hot topic on social media.
Meanwhile, Natalie Nunn is also dealing with some drama after Fivio Foreign claimed that she’s cheating. No matter where you look, there’s always something of note going on with this franchise, for better or worse. Let’s see how this new spinoff will add to the canon. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Baddies.
