What Did ASAP Rocky Say About Drake On Future And Metro Boomin’s New Album?

April 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the past few weeks, Drake has essentially become hip-hop’s punching bag. It started when Kendrick Lamar dissed him on “Like That,” from Future and Metro Boomin’s album We Don’t Trust You. Future and Metro have another new album, We Still Don’t Trust You, and it looks he’s taking more shots there, too. The Weeknd seemingly dissed him on the album, and it appears ASAP Rocky did the same.

On “Show Of Hands,” Rocky says (via Genius):

“N****s swear they b*tch the baddest, I just bagged the worst one
N****s in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’?
I smash before you birthed, son, Flacko hit it first, son
Still don’ trust you, it’s always us, never them
Heard you dropped your latest sh*t
Funny how it just came and went (Ha-ha-ha).”

The verse appears to reference Rocky having a sexual encounter with Sophie Brussaux, the mother of Drake’s son Adonis. The last two lines also seem to be taking a dig at Drake’s album For All The Dogs.

Drake has so far not explicitly responded to any of the recent disses he’s faced, except perhaps via cryptic messages.

Listen to “Show Of Hands” above.

ASAP Rocky Disses Drake on Future’s “Show of Hands”

April 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Another Future album has dropped, and more shots are headed to Drake. This time, ASAP Rocky is behind the bars.

Appearing on “Show of Hands,” from the second disc of the album, Rocky alludes to having a sexual relationship with Sophie Brussaux, the mother of Drake’s son, before she became pregnant with Adonis, and claims the For All the Dogs album “came and went.”

Verse one
Call up Pluto, Metro, should’ve put me on the first one
Niggas swear they bitch the baddest, I just bagged the worst one
Niggas in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’?
I smash before you birthed son, Flacko hit it first, son
Still don’ trust you, it’s always us, never them
Heard you dropped your latest shit
Funny how it just came and went

On For All The Dogs, Drake shaded both Rihanna and ASAP Rocky on the “Fear of Heights” single:

Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you?
That could never be
Gyal can’t run me
Better him than me
Better it’s not me
I’m anti, I’m anti
Yeah, and the sex was average with you
Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you
Okay, I’m auntie like your daddy’s sister
Auntie like a family picture
And I had way badder bitches than you, TBH

Drake would also shade Rocky on “Another Late Night” from the same album: “I ain’t Pretty Flacko, bitch, this shit get really Rocky.”

Rihanna Claims ASAP Rocky’s Fashion Choices Make Her Feel “Bummy”

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna is one of the most revered and glamorous women on the planet. Full stop. The pop culture icon has been praised for her bold fashion choices for two decades, whether it be through her makeup line or her music. This sky high reputation is what makes her comments regarding A$AP Rocky so surprising. In a recent profile for Interview Magazine, Rihanna claimed her rapper husband easily outshines her when it comes to style. She went as far as to say that she often looks like Rocky’s “assistant” when they go out.

The A$AP Rocky praise was prompted by a pair of earrings he gifted to Rihanna. She claimed that he was the absolute “best” when it came to identifying fashionable pieces and looking sharp regardless of the occasion. “I be feeling bummy as s**t next to this man,” she admitted. “I feel like, g*****n, I look like his assistant. I’m getting on a plane. We should be in sweats. He wants to be in a full Bottega suit. I’m like, “Why you got to do that to me.” Rihanna also credited A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Meyers, with creating the lipgloss she wore during the magazine’s photoshoot.

Rihanna Dresses Her Sons Like ASAP Rocky

The “Praise Da Lord” rapper not only serves as an inspiration for Rihanna herself, but for the way she dresses their sons, RZA and Riot Rose. During the Interview profile, Rihanna revealed that she’s the one who picks out the clothing for their sons over Rocky. “Riot is actually in all of RZA’s one-year-old clothes already,” she added. “He’s only six months. Everybody thinks Rocky dresses them because I dress them in Rocky outfits.” Rihanna also noted that motherhood has affected the way she dresses on a regular basis. “Moms are lazy dressers in real life,” she admitted.

Rihanna’s praise may be sweet, but it’s not altogether surprising. A$AP Rocky was praised as a fashion icon since he arrived on the scene in the early 2010s. He released a collaboration with Guess inspired by his love of 90s fashion in 2016, as well as Gucci, Puma and Bottega Veneta on a 2023 campaign inspired by paparazzi photos. When asked to describe his style, Rocky told Complex that it was an “individual thing” that’s constantly evolving. “Everybody has their individuality, so you just gotta make it work for you,” he advised. “I no longer concern myself with what everybody’s doing and how they do it. I don’t even care anymore.” Obviously, his approach has worked.

ASAP Rocky Is So Stylish That He Makes Even Rihanna Feel ‘Bummy As Sh*t’

If you were making a list of the most stylish celebrity couples, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky would absolutely be on it. They may even be No. 1, but either way, they’re undoubtedly in the conversation. If you ask Rihanna, though, it’s Rocky who’s pulling most of the weight there, as she reckons his style game is far above her own, as she said in a new Interview conversation with her stylist (and Interview editor in chief) Mel Ottenberg.

Ottenberg made note of Rihanna’s earring and she revealed it was a gift from Rocky. Ottenberg then complimented Rocky’s taste and Rihanna responded, “Isn’t he the best? I be feeling bummy as sh*t next to this man. I feel like, g*ddamn, I look like his assistant. I’m getting on a plane. We should be in sweats. He wants to be in a full Bottega suit. I’m like, ‘Why you got to do that to me?’”

Ottenberg then wondered if there’s “a little competition for the looks” between the two and Rihanna replied, “No. It’s more like I spend my time getting the kids dressed to death, and then I’m like, ‘What’s the most comfortable outfit to wear around them? What’s not going to feel uncomfortable on their face or on their body or make me feel like I can’t hold them properly?’ Moms are lazy dressers in real life.”

ScHoolboy Q Explains Why ASAP Rocky Collab Album Fell Through

March 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ScHoolboy Q and A$AP Rocky are one of the most beloved unofficial rap duos of the 2010s. As incredibly skilled MCs in both their camps, and with a lot of woozy crossover when it comes to their appeal, they have absolute classics in the vault like “Brand New Guy,” “Electric Body,” and “PMW (All I Really Need).” As such, this is one of the many match-ups that fans have dreamed about over the years when it comes to a collaborative album. But with the TDE MC’s recent appearance on Drink Champs, we not only got confirmation that they wanted this team-up too, but that they just couldn’t make it work at the time.

“You and ASAP Rocky was gonna do an album together?” N.O.R.E. asked ScHoolboy Q on the program. “Yeah, we talked about it,” the BLUE LIPS spitter answered. “But… I mean, we both… like I said, me and him just ghost each other so much, bro. Yeah, yeah, like, you know what I mean? I’ll be looking for him, I can’t find him, he’ll be looking for me. Yeah, he’ll call, I’ll see it, I’ll be like, ‘Bruh, I’ll call you tomorrow.’

ScHoolboy Q Speaks On ASAP Rocky & Their Once-Ideated Collab Album: Watch

“Then it just… He got Rihanna, bruh, so sometime, I gotta get him back,” ScHoolboy Q continued. “‘Alright, you ghosted me for a week, I’m gonna have to ghost you for a week.’ You gotta wait a week now to -– Nah, nah, but nah, that’s my boy. I was just at his house looking at the new art he’s making and coming up with. He cold, he cold, he cold.

“You know, he’s always doing clothes, videos, and you know, music,” he concluded. “So he was just letting me see all the art he was working on, pretty much.” “That’s an L couple, creatively,” DJ EFN joked. “Yeah, that’s different, that’s different,” Q laughed.

Travis Scott Riding Around In A Tank Has Fans Calling Him An ASAP Rocky Copycat Again

March 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott and ASAP Rocky are two of the most influential rappers in the modern era. Both of their respective sounds have forged legendary careers for the both of them. However, fans love to make comparisons and these two have been subjected to that since the start. While they do physically look very similar, that is not the only way they get pitted against one another. A good portion of the hip-hop community feels that Scott has been biting Rocky’s style and creative direction. That debate was recently reignited after a video surfaced of the Houston rapper having a blast on a tank.

According to HipHopDX, fans are predicting that this is all for the music video for UTOPIA‘s hit song “FE!N.” If that rings true, Rocky fans and Scott haters are going to have a field day with it. Especially because, the ASAP member featured that iconic armored vehicle in his visuals for “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n).” Fans made sure to call that out in the comments, “@asaprocky trav on some riot shi.”

The Travis & Rocky Comparisons Will Never End

While people love to fabricate beef about celebrities, Rocky has been feeding into it throughout his career. In a popular sit-down with Hot 97 back in 2016, he saw the vision in the comparison and encouraged others to decide what they believe. “Let the people decide if he a biter or if he authentic.” However, there are times when he is tired of the beef rumors. In a social media post in 2019 he said, ““THAT ME N TRAVIS BEEF SHIT SO PLAYED OUT, LET IT GO.” It will forever be debated on who bit off who until they make music together it seems.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott riding around in a tank? Do you agree with fans that he is biting ASAP Rocky’s creative flare? Is this rivalry actually real, or is it fan-made? Will this wind up in the music video for “FE!N?” We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Travis Scott and ASAP Rocky. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of music.

ASAP Rocky Skips Status Hearing In His Assault Case With No Trial In Sight

March 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky chose to skip out on his status hearing on Wednesday (March 6), for whatever reason, and there is still no trial on the horizon for this assault case. Moreover, for those unaware, group colleague ASAP Relli accused him of shooting at him multiple times, and hitting him once, during a November 2021 confrontation in Hollywood. Now, though, it seems like this case is very much in limbo, and according to reporter Meghann Cuniff, no trial date was set during this hearing. However, the court did schedule a pre-trial hearing for May 26, so we’ll have to wait and see if someone budges before trial.

Furthermore, the last update we got on this case was ASAP Rocky’s not guilty plea and his lawyer Joe Tacopina’s assurance that they will prove his innocence. “We’re going to try the case in the courtroom,” he told reporters back in January of this year. “And when we do, facts will come out that show that he’s truly innocent. And that he’s a victim in this case.” L.A. County attorneys on the prosecution’s side had expressed to Judge Karla Kerlin that they weren’t anticipating a plea deal to sidestep a full trial.

In addition, ASAP Rocky also has a highly anticipated album to make, but his family and this legal case have definitely become a lot to handle. Authorities arrested him over this incident in 2022 with two assault charges with a semi-automatic firearm. “Discharging a gun in a public place is a serious offense that could have ended with tragic consequences not only for the person targeted but also for innocent bystanders visiting Hollywood,” L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón remarked around this time. “My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case. We determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.”

Meanwhile, after a $550,000 bond, the “Gangsta” rapper and his team hope that September will be the start of the end. “We hope to be on trial by September in this case,” his lawyer shared. “I want to get this done and over with so he can start enjoying his family and move on.” If convicted, Rakim Mayers could face up to nine years behind bars.

Rihanna Shuts Down New Album Questions On Instagram Live

March 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna is making it clear she’s not here for the questions. During a recent Instagram Live session, she showcased her fiery spirit when it comes to dealing with fans’ incessant demands for her upcoming album. In a classic RiRi fashion, she shut down the noise with a message that was both cool and candid. During the live session following her fiery performance in India, Rih, alongside a friend, took a moment to address the relentless clamor from fans eagerly awaiting her next musical masterpiece. With a mix of exasperation and humor, she urged her followers to take a chill pill, emphasizing, “Guys just relax, just be cool.”

Rihanna’s unapologetic demeanor serves as a reminder that artists are more than their creative output. They’re human beings with lives, passions, and priorities beyond the studio. So while the world eagerly awaits Rihanna’s next musical offering, let’s heed her advice and chill out in the meantime. However, recently, Rocky was overheard reassuring a fan who was eager to know when Rihanna would be releasing new music, stating, “She’s working on it.” Speculation and hearsay regarding Rihanna’s comeback to the music scene have been circulating for quite some time. Moreover, the timing of Rihanna’s appearance in India wasn’t merely coincidental. She graced the celebration of Anant Ambani, the son of one of India’s wealthiest tycoons, alongside his betrothed Radhika Merchant.

Rihanna Is Over The New Music Questions

Rihanna’s presence added an extra layer of grandeur to the already lavish affair. Reports suggest that Rihanna’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, featuring a medley of her chart-topping hits. However, such excellence comes at a price, and in Rihanna’s case, it’s a hefty one. According to the Daily Mail, the Barbadian songstress commanded a staggering $5 million for her stage time. While some might balk at the astronomical figure, it’s important to put it into perspective. The entire wedding extravaganza reportedly rang up a jaw-dropping bill of $120 million, making Rihanna’s fee seem like a mere drop in the bucket.

Furthermore, RiRi’s willingness to perform at such high-profile events highlights her status not just as a musical icon but also as a symbol of prestige and luxury. Her involvement in the Ambani wedding underscores the global appeal and influence she commands, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. However, amidst the glitz and glamour, Rihanna’s message to her fans resonates strongly. Despite her undeniable star power and the anticipation surrounding her next album, she remains grounded, urging fans to exercise patience and cool their jets.
