Lil Yachty Catches Flack For Disrespecting His Friend Mitch During Key Glock Podcast

by

Lil Yachty is in some hot water these days, spurred by his regional fashion comments and some other big headlines as of late. But this new instance of backlash rings a bit differently, as it has to do with his personal treatment of his podcast cohost, Mitch. They had a bit of a mini argument during their Key Glock episode, who didn’t really speak on much about this debacle. The awkward moment centered around the Atlanta creative taking responsibility for turning Mitch’s life around, as he questioned what his friend would even be doing today if it wasn’t for him. Mitch conceded that he didn’t want a job back then, but also spoke on his personal growth and how he’s learned a lot about himself.

Furthermore, it seems like they were both making essentially the same point. The difference is that Lil Yachty emphasized his role in Mitch’s growth and seemed to dismiss the notion that he could’ve made a life for himself without him. As such, many fans in the replies of the post below called him out for disrespecting his friend in this way, especially in front of a guest and on a public platform. But the “Sorry Not Sorry” artist has an even bigger relationship in the balance right now… At least, according to some gossip train-riding fans.

Lil Yachty’s Controversial Conversation With Mitch

You may have already heard that the OVO fanbase turned on Lil Yachty when he seemingly unfollowed his friend and frequent collaborator Drake on Instagram. While he seemed to quickly re-follow him within minutes, many still thought that this indicated a rift in their bond. For some fans, the main theory revolves around how Drizzy took Yachty off of their leaked collab “Supersoak,” and the latter was the one who sent the unreleased cut to Kai Cenat in the first place.

Nevertheless, it seems like this is all too murky and speculative for us to conclude that Drake and Lil Yachty are at odds. As such, we can assume that they’re still cool. Most likely, so are Yachty and Mitch, for that matter. But still, fans think that he made a mistake by airing out this dirty laundry on their friendship in this way. We’ll see whether the “Die For Me” creative addresses any of this in the near future.

2 Chainz’s Son Claims “W Rizz” After Getting Latto’s Number

by

It seems like 2 Chainz’s son is building more and more connections in the rap game, and we’d guess that his father is quite proud. Moreover, a recent video went viral online that shows Latto giving her fellow Atlanta rapper’s son her number, telling him to text her so she can “lock him in” and so she doesn’t lose his number amid a lot of random messages. The funniest part of the clip, though, was when the artist formerly known as Tity Boi’s son told his dad about it excitedly as he watched from the sidelines. “I got the W rizz, I got the dub rizz,” he said of getting the Sugar Honey Iced Tea femcee’s number while dapping his dad up.

“Daddy, let me give the rizz power to you,” 2 Chainz’s son told him while putting his hand up against his chest and back to his own. Then, after verbalizing his special attack, he transferred “the rizz” back to his dad through a Kamehameha-like move, which is one of the most playfully sweet moments you’ll witness this week. Sure, people immediately jumped to the worst conclusions possible about this interaction, but it’s clear that it’s all for the laughs, as Latto herself was joking about the “W rizz.” More likely than not, she and Chainz just linked up with the latter’s son there and they thought it would be cool for them to communicate. Also, it adds to the wholesome and comical canon of the Chainz family dynamic.

Latto Gives 2 Chainz’s Son Her Number

Elsewhere, though, Latto has other family matters to attend to. For example, she recently accused her father of stealing from her and claiming she’s in the Illuminati. It’s unclear the extent to which this is true or just another joke. But if it is, then it speaks to a concerning power dynamic and a lack of support.

Meanwhile, 2 Chainz’s worries these days consist of handling an alleged $1.5 million scam concerning a cannabis dispensary. Other than that, he’s probably having a ball with his family and friends, as well as making more music. We’ll see whether or not anything else comes from this Latto interaction. In the meantime, humor us in the comments section below by answering this painfully Zoomer question: did you get your rizz from your parents or was it the other way around?

Macklemore Fan Arrested Onstage After Duet

by

Macklemore isn’t one to engage in onstage antics, but a twist of fate lent some very odd context to a recent performance of his. Moreover, he (along with many other artists) took the stage at the Lovestream Festival in Slovakia, and at one point, he invited a Slovenian fan onstage to perform a duet with him. After the woman boasted about it on social media, someone recognized her from an open police report (as a wanted woman) and informed authorities at the “Hind’s Hall” MC’s performance. Cops let her wrap her performance up and then arrested her for avoiding a fine from an alleged streaking incident.

Elsewhere, Macklemore instead usually draws up controversy for his music, whether for the right and wrong reasons. Most recently, his release of a pro-Palestine track stirred up a storm on social media, including a response diss from Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Remedy. Overall, this is a very complex situation and one that political and social polarization can obfuscate when it comes to the actual humanitarian issues at hand. Nevertheless, the “Thrift Shop” rapper’s powerful single speaks volumes to the need to engage in these difficult conversations and definitely achieved at least part of its intended effect.

“I didn’t expect to be on a microphone,” Macklemore expressed during a pro-Palestine rally in Washington, DC. “There are thousands of people here more qualified to speak on the issue of a free Palestine than myself. But I will say this: They told me to be quiet. They told me to do my research, to go back, that it’s too complex to say something, right? To be silent in this moment. In the last three weeks, I’ve gone back and I’ve done some research … I’m teachable. I don’t know enough. But I know enough that this is a genocide.”

“I have so many close lifelong Jewish and Muslim friends and I don’t want to cause any additional harm to any of them,” Macklemore shared on Instagram. “But I trust in our friendships that even if we disagree we can be rooted in love and acceptance in whatever dialogue transpires. I trust that these potential challenging and emotional conversations will not divide us in the end but lead to more compassion. Killing the innocent is never the answer. Revenge only breeds more hatred. Thinking of ourselves as separate from one another is a lie.”

Yung Miami Laughs At Joe Budden’s “Pump It Up” Plaque And Prompts A Shady Response

by

Joe Budden recently received his official Gold plaque from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for “Pump It Up.” His biggest commercial hit came out 21 years ago, and though it’s a late arrival, it’s a celebratory one nonetheless. However, this became an easy target for the Slaughterhouse MC’s haters, as many folks online made fun of this development. In fact, even Yung Miami (formerly of the City Girls) tweeted out some crying-laughing emojis in response to this. While it’s unclear whether she meant to disrespect him with this post, he certainly took it as such.

“It would be too easy…..” Joe Budden tweeted in response to Yung Miami’s laughter. “Maybe tmw lol…” he added in another tweet responding to a fan who asked him to let loose on her. For those unaware, Budden has been previously critical of Caresha in the public eye, such as commenting on her recent expressions concerning the Diddy scandal. Specifically, he thinks that he threw her City Girls partner JT under the bus with her comments and instead had sympathy for the disgraced hip-hop mogul despite his confirmed and alleged crimes.

Joe Budden’s Responses To Yung Miami

Of course, what Joe Budden is referring to with these tweets is that Yung Miami is no commercial juggernaut either, as evidenced by his thoughts on the City Girls’ very poor album sales last year. “I need to have that number confirmed,” he said on his podcast about their alleged 6K first week debut for RAW, which was actually 10K. Budden questioned this discrepancy, and wasn’t critical of the duo at all but rather of their label, the system that quantified these numbers, and their behind-the-scenes struggles. “It still sounds unbelievable to me. I’m with you as far as how they counted that. Maybe it’s the pure album sales. Somebody was trying to hurt them during their release.”

Meanwhile, speaking of record label and music business nonsense, Joe Budden also recently spoke on Drake’s licensing deal. He thinks that far too many people falsely believe that Drizzy has a lot of freedom in this UMG partnership. While those details and considerations are well beyond the scope of accessible information for most music listeners, that murky water is exactly what should inspire this skepticism. We’ll see if Joe has any more thoughts on his Gold plaque and on these conversations.

Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed Shower Together After Two-Day Minecraft Stream

by

Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed are up to even more antics as they were seen taking a shower together on livestream. According to Metro, the two massively popular multimedia figures did so after playing Minecraft for two days straight. For those who are not familiar with the sandbox game there are multiple modes to play the game on. You have “Creative”, which allows the player to not die and build anything they want with unlimited materials. Then, there’s “Survival”. In that mode you have to collect everything yourself and you can die. There is a variant called “Hardcore” and when you die you lose all of your progress, and you’ll have to start from scratch.

As you know, Kai and Speed love to try anything so they attempted to beat Minecraft and its final mob boss, the Ender Dragon, on “Hardcore”. However, after getting to that point after their reported 14th attempt (25 hours of gameplay), Cenat died. A therapist was even brought in to try and calm these two balls of energy down, but to no avail. The livestream started on August 17, and they apparently aren’t stopping until they beat Minecraft.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

In apparent attempt to try and find some method of relaxation and stress relief, Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed decided to shower together, two days into the marathon. However, during the recording, Speed was getting too close for Cenat’s liking. “Your [shower] is over there!”, Cenat said. “I’m just washing my body bro”, Speed replied. “In front of me?!”, Cenat questioned. “Stop being weird, we’re bros, this is what bros do. You ain’t never taken a shower with your homeboy?”, Speed asked. “No… that’s a**”. Some fans were weirded out as well. “Remember, kids see and follow everything .. be mindful of the examples you set.. everything isn’t funny or worth posting.” However, there were some who pointed out locker room layouts. “I mean men shower in locker rooms together”.

What are your thoughts on Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed showering together on stream? Is this one of the weirder things you have seen these two do? Do you agree with some of the comments about not needing to post everything? How much longer will it take for them to beat Minecraft? 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 Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed.

Remy Ma Almost Fell For A Nicki Minaj Reference On “Family Feud”

by

Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj’s beef is well-documented at this point, and while things died down a while ago, it’s still hard to ignore. Moreover, the former recently participated on Family Feud, and a particular fill-in-the-blank question led to a pretty interesting reaction. The prompt was “[Blank] Friday,” which led many eagle-eyed fans to spot the Bronx femcee’s small laugh when she heard the prompt. A lot of fans figured that she thought of Minaj’s album Pink Friday first, but she instead gave “Black Friday” as an answer. While we’ll probably never know whether or not Steve Harvey chose to be cheeky with this, fans ran with that narrative regardless.

Furthermore, the last “update” we got concerning Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj were some odd claims from Hazel-E. She claimed that Remy, the Migos, Suge Knight, and many others actually received payment to sabotage Nicki’s career. Of course, rumors like these are pretty frequent and common when it comes to the discussion around these two female rappers and many others. Even though we’ll probably never see evidence of this, some fanbases will still use it as a talking point either way.

Remy Ma Dodges A Nicki Minaj Reference On Family Feud

However, despite Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj’s long and contentious history, some fans still think that they can bury the hatchet. In fact, the latter seemed to hint at a reconciliation while promoting Pink Friday 2, but that never manifested for that album’s rollout. Still, with so much beef going around in 2024, it seems as good a time as ever to either re-engage or reconsider. After all, this combative year could also result in more amicable moments of coming together rather than continued battle.

Meanwhile, Remy Ma doesn’t really want to talk about any of this beef, for the most part. For example, she avoided a question about Nicki Minaj and Latto beefing at the 2023 Grammys. Maybe Remy would rather speak on her own experiences with femcees rather than other ones. Regardless of whether or not these two eventually make up and set their issues aside, it’s impossible to not think of their spat whenever their names come up together.

Drake Trolls Chingy On Instagram Over His Old Lyrics

by

Drake and Chingy might be from pretty different hip-hop eras, but they also have a lot in common. They are both big fans of Sexyy Red, and they apparently feel the same way about playing basketball in front of girls. Moreover, the 6ix God randomly took to his Instagram Story on Sunday night (August 18) to troll the St. Louis native over his “One Call Away” lyrics from 2003. “The next day I’m with the fellas at the case playing ball / Here she come with her friends, they posted up on the wall / Now I’m showing off, trying to dunk, trying to dribble / Break fast threw the middle just to see her smile and giggle,” he rapped on the cut.

“Nah chingy I felt this,” Drake wrote to Chingy on his IG Story, paving the way for a back-handed compliment. “Like why do I play ball better when the tings aren’t watching? You really struck a chord with this one goated lyric. Also the fact you said tryna dribble like off that bar we know you were a** at ball. But your ting showed up and you started doing too much like this real af you are a guy for that bar.”

Drake’s (Back-Handed) Praise Of Chingy

In other Drake Instagram news, a lot of folks are reading quite deeply into his Story posts and other activity as of late. Some recent snapshots, for example, made die-hards theorize as to what his next collaboration could be. Of course, the Toronto superstar knows exactly what he’s doing with these posts, and even if he’ll lay low for a while, he will still use social media to fuel excitement for his next move. It’s just the OVO way, although we doubt that he’s done for the year.

Meanwhile, a recent claim from DJ Akademiks made fans wonder what Drake will do concerning the press in the future. He apparently scrapped an idea for a press conference some time ago, and we all know of his contentious relationship with some media figures like Joe Budden and Elliott Wilson. Who knows whether we’ll see another OVO interview? All we know is that, with the ‘Gram, he can pretty much speak for himself whenever he wants.

Tina Knowles Hilariously Realizes What Beyonce’s Song “Ego” Is Actually About

by

Tina Knowles has spent so much time with Beyonce’s catalog that one would probably expect her to know it as well as the back of her hand. But it turns out that there are still surprises in Queen Bey’s catalog that her mother is catching onto all these years later. Moreover, the recently divorced Knowles left an Instagram comment under a video of a podcast group listening to her daughter’s track “Ego,” which has lyrics such as “It’s too big, it’s too wide, it won’t fit.” As such, it seems like she never caught on to the song’s sexual innuendo, and expressed genuine shock and surprise at realizing the hidden meaning years after its release.

“Wow, !!!!!!!!” Tina Knowles’ message about Beyoncé’s cut “Ego” began. “I just realized that she wasn’t talking about that ego!!!!!!!! Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy!!!!!!! [three crying-laughing emojis]. I’m serious I really didn’t Know til now!!!!!! That’s crazy! Nooo! Really? Maybe not ! I don’t know! What y’all think?” At least Knowles has other Bey songs to latch onto, such as when the Kamala Harris campaign used “Freedom” after Tina endorsed her for president of the United States.

Tina Knowles Admits That She Just Found Out What Beyoncé’s “Ego” Is Really About

As far as other retrospective perspectives from Tina Knowles about Beyoncé’s life and career, she recently expanded on how her daughter handled bullying in her childhood. She told Vogue that the Houston superstar actually didn’t defend herself at first, but started doing so after she stuck up for another person whom childhood bullies attacked. Of course, this idea sounds bizarre today: why in the world would Sasha Fierce have bullies? But we all have to start somewhere, and these old tales remind us of where and what we came from on our path to where we are now.

Also, Tina Knowles divulged on what advice Beyoncé gave her daughter Blue Ivy when it comes to dealing with haters, not bullies. “One of her friends came back and showed her some negative comments and it was a great life lesson,” she told Vogue‘s The Run Through podcast. “Because her mom basically said, ‘Listen, if you let this get you down, then they won. So you should go and work harder. And, you know, just work harder and get your skills together and go out there and blast it.’ So it actually worked in Blue’s favor because she was only supposed to do it one time. But now her mom was, that mama bear was on to it. It was like, she was like, ‘You go out there and kill it,’ and she did. She just grew so much from that experience.”

Cardi B Blasts People Making Fun Of Vybz Kartel’s Appearance

by

Cardi B is known to have some pretty strong stances on a whole lot of different matters online, and she’s not afraid to make that very clear. Moreover, she recently went on a mini Twitter Spaces rant seemingly talking about how people are making fun of Vybz Kartel’s lighter skin following his release from prison. Although Bardi didn’t explicitly make note of this specific issue in the clip below, it’s not hard to connect the dots when you look at much of the discussion surrounding the dancehall icon on the Internet. Either way, she took issue with how people are talking about him these days and will not tolerate any slander in her vicinity.

“I do not play about f***ing Vybz Kartel,” Cardi B’s rant about the haters began. “When I see y’all f***ing Americans… No offense, no offense. I mean, I’m American, but when I see y’all talking about f***ing Vybz Kartel, I be getting upset ’cause, like, not too much. Not too f***ing much. Mind your f***ing business. I do not play about f***ing Vybz Kartel, b***h. At all. At all. I do not, I do not, I do not.”

Elsewhere, Cardi B also relayed some pretty exciting updates about her new album. Even though we still don’t know anything about the project, it seems like she will soon be ready to share some new details with the world. The Bronx femcee recently revealed that she took all of the pictures necessary for her album covers, and that they’re ready to go. Now, all she has to do is pick between them and decide on a final candidate, although we’re sure that some alternate covers will also emerge.

Meanwhile, as Cardi B implied with her Twitter Spaces rant, Vybz Kartel is focusing on a whole lot more in his life apart from petty Twitter conversations. He’s recovering from Graves’ disease and sharing this health-focused process with fans, which has been very heartening for them to witness. Hopefully this positive focus continues whether or not it’s something that we can see for ourselves online. Regardless, we know at least one rap superstar who will stick up for him.

Kanye West Greets A Big Group Of Trump Supporters Cheering Him On In Beverly Hills

by

Kanye West and Bianca Censori were strolling around Beverly Hills on Saturday (August 17) in a Cybertruck when they ran into a very curious sight. However, it was actually this curious sight that reacted excitedly when they spotted the couple, as a group of Trump supporters quickly swarmed the vehicle when they realized who was inside. It’s unclear if this group was at a rally of some sort, a casual gathering, a protest, or some other form of organized activity. Nevertheless, they started chanting Ye’s name, and he drove off when it became more about him than about old Donald. We know that he seemed to continue to support the convicted former president this year, so maybe they’re still buddy-buddy.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, recently made a blunt statement about Kanye West on Adin Ross’ stream. “He’s very complicated,” he said of the Chicago artist during his sit-down with Ross. “He’s a really nice guy. But he can get himself into trouble and get some other people, but you know. He’s got a good heart, he does. But he’s complicated.”

Elsewhere, Kanye West fans are witnessing yet another album cycle update itself in real time thanks to some new VULTURES 2 changes. Sadly for him and Ty Dolla $ign, these tweaks and fixes haven’t really turned people around when it comes to their assessment of the project’s quality. Many fans think that this is one of the more disappointing releases in the Ye catalog, and certainly one of the most unkempt. We’ll see if the third installment ever comes, but after these divisive drops, we know that many fans would rather just have him and Ty leave that in the vault.

Meanwhile, some other musical tweaks on Taylor Swift’s behalf suggest that she sent some shade Kanye West’s way on her new updated album. Particularly, it’s seemingly a reference to Kim Kardashian. But that’s mostly speculative despite their long history of beef, a history that makes it pretty hard to see this song title change as anything but a subliminal. Regardless, this Trump-related interaction shows that Ye still has some pull within that crowd for better or worse, and hopefully this doesn’t energize him to fire back in the same way he has for the past two years or so.
