Asap Rocky Announces New Release Timeline For “Don’t Be Dumb” And Fans Are Tapping Out

by

Asap Rocky fans have been steadily losing hope around Don’t Be Dumb actually releasing for quite a while. It’s supposed to be the New York native’s fourth studio album and follow-up to 2018’s TESTING. Overall, there’s been some moments of true optimism. There’s been a nice number of singles that have come out, especially over the last year. “Ruby Rosary” with The Alchemist and J. Cole, “HIGHJACK” featuring Jessica Pratt, and “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)” are just a few. There’s also been plenty of details and announcements regarding collaborations and release dates as well. But all of this has been too good to be true because we are still without the record.

Sampling and clearance issues can certainly derail plans to drop music, and that’s been what Rocky is saying is keeping the tape shelved. However, it just feels like there’s a lot more going on than just that. It could be that he’s overthinking too much, or he’s just got too much going on outside of music. For example, his legal issues could definitely be playing a role. With that said, it’s just hard to believe that it’s just the things he mentioned that are holding him back from dropping.

The Hype Around Asap Rocky Is Dying Out

It’s been hard to watch this all unfold, especially since we have heard great Asap Rocky projects before. We aren’t completely done yet, but it seems like a lot of fans are tapping out. Once again, the A$AP Mob member’s team has made another disappointing announcement regarding Don’t Be Dumb and its release date. “[It’s] been rescheduled to early 2025. We will refund your order and invite you to reorder when the album is available. As a thank-you for your patience, please enjoy the attached coupon for a gift upon release,” the statement reads.

This has led to some apathetic responses from his fan base on Twitter, with one writing, “I’m convinced this album dosent actually exist.” “Not sure how it’s gonna work out for him. Hype is dead and the pot is no longer boiling. Album has to be pretty special for it to be worth it in any regard,” another adds. “So we should all give up on Rocky @ this point is what I’m hearing👌🏾bro album must be boo boo,” a fan ruthlessly types. It’s clear that frustrations are pretty much at an all-time high, and if it doesn’t drop in “early 2025,” the hype will be nonexistent we fear.

Lauryn Hill Dragged By Fans For A Tumultuous Show In Kenya

by

When it comes to a Lauryn Hill performance of any kind, you are going to have to expect the unexpected. While health issues are certainly a more than fair reason to put shows on hold, fans are still going to feel some type of way when cancelations become normal. Hill has always been extremely defensive when it comes to this topic, stating that it’s the media obsession with “sensationalism and clickbait headlines”. Additionally, she’s even told fans directly, “Y’all lucky I make it on this… stage every night”. While it certainly is a treat to be able to hear her play her songs in a live setting, the constant delays aren’t going to be able to leave supporters minds that easy.

Just take last night for example in Nairobi, Kenya. Ms. Lauryn Hill was scheduled to hit the stage at the Walker Town festival at 8 p.m. local time. But according to some tweets gathered by AllHipHop, one upset fan said, “Lauryn Hill was supposed to perform at 8 pm in Nairobi and was >4hrs late, finishing her set at 4.30/5.00 am… on a Monday?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”. To be fair, though, her and sound team were forced to deal with horrific technical issues throughout the performance.

Lauryn Hill Has Her Fanbase In Kenya Furious

On top of that, the soundcheck was not fully completed until hours later. However, it wasn’t just the concertgoers that were voicing their frustrations on Twitter. Residents close to the festivities were not too happy about the fireworks show that still went on after Lauryn’s time on stage. “Those fireworks at that hour on a Monday morning weren’t necessarily #WalkerTownNairobi. 10 whole minutes. I’m not even in #Kasa and they’ve got me spooked”, one tired person said. At this time, Hill has yet to respond to the backlash. But overall, it seems like it was just a mess of a night all around, with most of it being out of her control.

More Upset Fans

What are your thoughts on Lauryn Hill starting her show in Kenya around four hours after the initial start time? Do you think this trend will ever stop at this point? Does this stain her legacy for you at all? 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 Lauryn Hill. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Travis Scott Fans Convinced That Billboard Orchestrated A Heist To Let Sabrina Carpenter Go Number One

by

Whenever Travis Scott falls just short of winning something, it feels like his fans can be more upset than him. That seems to be the case, at least for now. If you head over to X (formerly Twitter), you are going to see a lot of angry reactions over Sabrina Carpenter narrowly defeating La Flame in the intense sales battle. Overall, that isn’t really news. However, what is interesting is the fact that fans of Travis Scott are accusing Billboard of tampering with the final results. According to an account by the name of In The Mix, they came across some apparent video evidence of this “robbery”.

In the allegedly accurate footage, a user is navigating the Music Connect platform and heads over to a “Daily Billboard 200” data base. After clicking on it, it shows the week in which the sales would be tallied, August 22-29. As you’ll be able to see, the results before the final recount show that Scott was actually ahead of Sabrina, 365,817 to 354,436. Of course, the official results were 362,000 to 361,000 in favor of the pop hitmaker. Furthermore, it shows that DAYS BEFORE RODEO was whaling on Short n’ Sweet in terms of physical sales, 333,582 to 177,382.

Travis Scott Fans Claim To Have Proof Of Billboard’s Shenanigans

Conversely, the actual numbers were 331,000 for Scott and 184,000 for Carpenter. For context, the clip was posted on X about 12 hours ago, quite a bit after the last count was announced. Overall, the fans could have valid evidence, but it’s definitely hard to be 100% sure. Billboard, among others, go back forth on whether or not include bundles, deluxe versions, and etc. into the total. In this case, if this video is true then there may be a chance that they removed some sales. Or there could have been an honest mistake and they did in fact include all of the different packages each artist offered.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott fan’s asserting that Billboard had something to do with Sabrina Carpenter beating him in sales? With the supposed evidence above, do you think they have a point? Or did the outlet make a genuine mistake with the final tally? 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 Travis Scott.

Nicki Minaj Delivers Strong Warning To Fan Who’s Suing Her For $5 Million

by

Nicki Minaj is facing a $5 million lawsuit from a fan by the name of Tameer Peak, who is seeking compensation for reputational harm, emotional distress, and financial loss. In the lawsuit he filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Peak claims he’s been a dedicated fan of the rapper for the last 15 years and even worked passionately to promote her latest album, Pink Friday 2. However, Minaj allegedly accused him of being a being “paid mole” and even invited him to her hotel room, just to hop on Instagram Live and embarrass him in front of 100,000 fans. She also accused him of being a “stalker” and more.

Minaj responded to the lawsuit in a statement provided to TMZ on Sunday. “Mr. Peak has been harassing Nicki on social media for years on end to no avail,” her attorney, Judd Burstein, told the outlet. “He has now graduated to seeking to shake her down financially with manifestly false allegations and legally frivolous claims. He will regret having gone down this disreputable road when he is forced to pay her legal fees as required by California law.”

PF2 #GagCityReloaded DELUXE ALBUM [pink bow emoji] we are now 10 DAYS away #GagCityPHILLY [pink bow emoji]. How many songs do you want added to the DELUXE ALBUM?”

Additionally, Minaj has been making headlines for rumors that she’s feuding with Ice Spice.

Jazmine Cheaves Yelling At Her Five-Month-Old Son Elicits Strong Reactions From Concerned Outsiders

by

Jazmine Cheaves, owner of a big-time salon in Atlanta, Georgia, as well the older sister to Jayda Cheaves, is not in the good graces of the internet. A clip of Jazmine Cheaves yelling at her five-month-old son, Blaze, is making the rounds right now. Moms tend to get frustrated with their kids, even at this stage of their lives. While it’s not really the right thing to do, it seems to be even more about what she said that is setting people off. In the video, you can hear her shout at him, “Blaze I told you you’re not a girl, stop screaming”. Then, just a second or two later, she talks to her followers, presumably through a TikTok or Instagram Live to explain why she did that.

“Yes, this is what he does all day, he just yells… I don’t like when he do that screaming s***, he’s not a girl”. Unsurprisingly, this has led to a lot of upset X users, which is where this clip is posted. One person replies bluntly, “She got the brain of a BBL”. Another shares that same sentiment, “These the kinda b****es that stan megan the stallion”.

Others were pointing out the basic things babies do when watching television shows, especially ones that excite them. “Uhhhh B****.. he’s excited. Tf.” Additionally, people are pointing out the current issues we face with men not being able to express themselves and how it starts when their babies. “He doesn’t have to be a girl to cry. First off he’s 5 months, thats a whole baby that can’t communicate yet. Second off that’s whats wrong with society today. Men grow up not being able to express their emotions then we complain about how they act when they are adults🤦🏽‍♀️”.

Drake Fan Who Punched Rick Ross Trolls Him With New Diss Track, “White Boy”

by

The Drake fan who punched Rick Ross at a festival in Canada in June has taunted the “Champagne Moments” rapper with a diss track of his own titled, “White Boy.” On the song, the fan, who goes by the name, Icarus, accuses Ross of running for the exits amidst the brawl and leaving his DJ behind. “Capping on the ‘Gram, you was stumbling out the gate / Searching for the exit, left your DJ like some bait / Fed him to the demons, too conceited to explain / You a bird and a bitch, I clipped your wings, stop the games,” Icarus raps.

The incident went down in Vancouver at the Ignite Music Festival after Ross played Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” while leaving the stage. He, as well as Lamar, had been feuding with the Toronto rapper for weeks at that point. He even dissed Drake on “Champagne Moments”

After the scuffle, Ross tried to downplay the severity of the situation on social media. “Aye man, I’m thinking about the event that happened over there,” he said in an Instagram video. “When the first dude stepped up to Rozay, the lil’ short fat one that looked like Bam Bam Bigelow from wrestling. When he stepped up, I squatted down and his eyes had told him what I said. Basically, ‘Boy, if I hit you, I’ma see everything you ate for the last two days.’ His balls dropped out of his ass. He never said another word, he did never did nothing. He was a straight busta.” Check out Icarus’ track, “White Boy,” below.

Cardi B Fires Back At “Dweeb” Posting About Her Robbing & Drugging Men

by

Cardi B has fired back at a user on social media who shared an X (formerly Twitter) Spaces clip, in which she appears to say she doesn’t feel any guilt for the men she previously admitted to robbing and drugging. In doing so, Cardi labeled them a “dweeb” and brought up a previous tweet they made in which they wrote: “Imagine if men had to breastfeed babies using their cocks.”

In the audio clip, Cardi remarks: “Why do y’all keep writing ‘Cardi drugged, whatever, robbed men,’ other crap. So what? I’ll do it again b*tch. I don’t give a f*ck, I don’t feel bad. I don’t feel bad for no n****s. I’ll do it the f*ck again. And y’all think y’all gagging. I talk about that sh*t on my album too. I don’t give a f*ck.”

@kirawontmiss? Scary dweeb.. if I was to rob a man you would be the first one since you dream about breast feeding babies with your cock #GetThePedosOffTwitter.” Back in 2019, a video of Cardi admitting to drugging and robbing men interested in sleeping with her during her time as a stripper surfaced online. The comments expectedly garnered tons of backlash from music fans, which prompted a statement from the Invasion of Privacy rapper. “Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive,” she wrote. “I never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world.” Check out her latest remarks on the situation below.

During the episode, Miami confirmed that she and Diddy are no longer together, but that she can’t speak on the allegations because they stem from a time before she knew him. “I can’t speak on something that wasn’t my experience and I can’t speak on something that I don’t know,” Yung Miami said of her silence. “I can’t speak on these allegations because I wasn’t around at the time.” From there, she recalled being with him at several award shows, including the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards where he won the Global Icon Award. “I met Diddy when the world was celebrating him and giving him his flowers while he was still alive,” she said. “So I was celebrating him with the world and I just feel like everybody is crucifying me for it.”

Kanye West’s Official Version Of “LIFESTYLE” Sparks Debate On Whether Or Not The Demo Is Better

by

It appears that all Kanye West is doing with VULTURES 2 is making fans angry. To be honest, it’s completely fair criticism. After waiting on the sequel to the inaugural VULTURES 1 for months, the album still sounds extremely unfinished. It especially doesn’t help that a lot of the songs were known about for years thanks to the leak community and DONDA 2. Of course, there are a few ride-or-die supporters of Ye trying to defend the project. Ultimately, though, the amount of disappointment far outweighs the love being shown to this debatably even worse LP. Some predicted this would happen, but some were still holding out hope for Kanye West because of songs like “LIFESTYLE”.

Hip-hop Twitter (now X) is having quite the field day picking VULTURES 2 to pieces. “LIFESTYLE” is one of the handful of songs that Kanye West had hype around thanks to a demo that had been floating around the internet. However, when you listen to each version side-by-side, you can see why fans are confused and upset. Instead of having Ty Dolla $ign sing the chorus –who the better singing voice — Ye instead takes the reins, and it sounds like a non-artist singing in the shower. Additionally, the instrumental is mixed much better, which is another big gripe that people have with VULTURES 2.

“LIFESTYLE” Is Just One Of Many Gripes Fans Have With Kanye & VULTURES 2

However, those few Kanye stans we mentioned earlier are trying to contest that the latest version is better. One user says, “Bruh the new one better lol”. Another even sends some shade at Drake, saying, “Demo version is giving Drake energy. Official version is more Ye”. Someone else even calls out the leaking camp for ruining the official album release. “This is prob with leaks and the reason I don’t listen to them more than once, you guys have an idea what something is SUPPOSED TO SOUND like, ruining ur personal experience when the real thing shows up, now y’all mad smh”.

What are your thoughts on the current version of “LIFESTYLE” off of VULTURES 2? Listening to the demo and official renditions back-to-back, which one sounds better? Where do you currently stand on the new album? Do you agree with the camp out there that Kanye West is tarnishing his legacy? 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 Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and VULTURES 2.
