Lil Mabu Left Frightened By Gun Shot While Filming Music Video With Lil RT

Lil Mabu is an artist who has brought forth a ton of controversy since bursting onto the scene. Overall, there is a very good reason for this. He is a kid who has co-opted the Brooklyn Drill sound. Moreover, it has been revealed that he went to a prep school in New York and that his dad has a lot of money. Essentially, he is making music because his family has the funds to bankroll him. Additionally, he gets into a lot of viral antics, so it only makes his racket that much bigger. One could just look at his Fivio Foreign music video to understand what we mean.

Another controversial person is Lil RT. He is a young kid who has been linking up with some famous artists. Although his parents seem to be okay with what he is doing, many have criticized his involvement with people who are much older than him. Not to mention, he has been speaking about topics that a child should simply not be engaging in. His childhood is being taken from him, and most don’t approve. However, that has not stopped Lil Mabu from linking up with Lil RT, as you can see below.

Lil Mabu x Lil RT

In fact, the video below depicts Lil Mabu and Lil RT in Atlanta as they film the music video for “BIG DOG SH*T.” However, Mabu got spooked as he heard a gun shot in the distance. A security guard who was with him told him to relax, and he did so in the calmest way possible. The shot sounded as though it was far away, but that doesn’t make it any less scary. Whether or not it was staged to make Mabu go viral, remains to be seen.

Let us know what you thought about this video, in the comments section below. What do you make of Lil Mabu? What about Lil RT? Do you think it’s bad for a kid to be engaged in the music industry like this? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Quavo Honors Takeoff With Gun Violence Reduction Initiative In Atlanta

Quavo will always do right by his nephew Takeoff’s memory, and his most recent move is a direct call to avoid tragedies like what took his life in late 2022. Moreover, Billboard reported on Wednesday (March 20) that he launched the Sparks Grants initiative for organizations combating gun violence in Atlanta. The move aims to grant $10,000 to each group focusing on firearm regulation and other initiatives to improve the community’s safety and security, make a legislative impact, and do right by lives lost to senseless loss. The deadline to apply for the grant is April 21 via The Rocket Foundation’s website, which you can find here.

“I am honored to launch this grant program to honor Take and the countless families that have been affected by gun violence,” Quavo shared about this effort via a statement. “The Rocket Foundation will be giving out $100,000 in Spark grants to local organizations dedicated to reducing community violence in Atlanta. There is a lot of important work going on in ATL right now, and part of our mission is to uplift these organizations and support them to help save more lives.”

Elsewhere, Offset recently spoke on his relationship with Quavo, both former members of the Migos. Tensions between them before and after member Takeoff’s death were a big conversation, one that Take’s loss seemed to re-contextualize and heal. “I don’t feel like I owe it to people to show how much me and bro love each other,” he remarked. “We went through something, we don’t have to show you smiles on faces… so stop doing that.

“We ain’t on no sucker s**t with each other,” ‘Set went on, “We both came in this s**t together and we both knew that, we understood that, and we lost our brother. I still go through s**t, I know bro go through s**t. N***as love each other though at the end of the day. We men, we real brothers, and we cool with it, so be cool with it. Don’t ever try and turn us against each other. I hate that s**t. At the end of the day, it ain’t your business.” Furthermore, for more news and the latest updates on Quavo, check back in with HNHH.

Killer Mike Lovingly Interrupts Scarface’s Atlanta Concert

Killer Mike is still enjoying the afterglow of his big night at the Grammys last month. He took home three awards, nearly sweeping the rap category. In fact, he was so excited by the awards that even being arrested for a reported backstage assault couldn’t sour his mood. He continued celebrating even while discussing the arrest in the weeks following the show. Since then he’s been on a full on victory lap of sorts popping up all over the place on various shows, podcast, radio shows and more.

Most recently, he popped up at another rapper’s concert. Texas legend Scarface was performing in Atlanta at the Variety Playhouse earlier this week. He already pulled out some big guests headlined by 2 Chainz appearing for the hyped crowd. Shortly after he played a mash-up version of Killer Mike’s song “Motherless” Mike himself walked out on stage with him. He even made some jokes about the rapper’s big night at the Grammys. ““Killer Mike took all the Grammys. Swept they ass. Wow! I told y’all, I got nothing but friends in Atlanta, man. Mike just fucked me up, man,” he told the crowd. Check out a video of the adorable moment below.

Killer Mike Pops Up During Scarface’s Atlanta Show

Earlier this week Killer Mike was advocating for another rapper’s venture. He spoke positively of Vince Staples recent venture into the world of television with The Vince Staples Show. The Netflix product received mostly positive reviews from both fans and critics but hasn’t yet been approved for a second season. Mike felt the need to publicly push for the show to get another chance with a second season.

Mike has appeared on screen numerous times before. He’s about to once again soon as he contributed to an upcoming documentary advocating against rap lyrics being used in court. What do you think of Killer Mike popping up and surprising Scarface at a show 2 Chainz also attended? Do you think Mike deserved the three different awards the Grammys gave him?

Burna Boy Brings Out Toni Braxton In Atlanta

Burna Boy surprised fans at his concert in Atlanta with a guest appearance from music legend Toni Braxton. Burna and Braxton proceeded to perform the former’s hit “Last Last” together as the crowd went wild. Furthermore, fans noted that Braxton was seemingly very eager to grind up on Burna. “Guess it’s been on her bucket list for years,” one fan joked.

Of course, “Last Last” samples Braxton’s 2000 hit “He Wasn’t Man Enough”. “Last Last” peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 but topped several genre charts. “He Wasn’t Man Enough” peaked at No. 2 and landed at No. 10 on the Year-End chart for 2000. Burna has never been afraid to sample classic R&B. He included a Brandy sample on his track “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” last year.

Burna Boy Gifts Jada Kingdom A Birkin Bag

Furthermore, it’s clear that Burna has got that rizz. Last year, While remixing “Talibans” with Byron Messia in a video shared online, Burna hijacked a verse that references Kingdom. The original lyric is “Member me born Kingston/ They love party, forget love drink rum/ AK shake like a Jada Kingdom.” Instead, Burna sang “The best pum pum deh a Kingston, so mi buy a Birkin fi Jada Kingdom.” Now of course, this isn’t any throwaway gift – a Birkin can cost anywhere between $10,000 and $40,000.

Furthermore, Kingdom appeared to confirm the gift on TikTok account. However, she has yet to openly confirm whether she and Burna are in fact an item. Despite this, Kingdom has been spotted wearing Burna’s Damini chain as well as touring with him in Europe. Many fans believe that Burna was partying in Jamaica explicitly because of Kingdom. Of course, Burna often makes the headlines for his relationships. Whether it’s his situation with Kingdom or te fallout of his breakup with Stefflon Don, Burna’s music is often secondary to the drama.

Latto Fans Vandalize Ice Spice’s Promo Billboard In Atlanta

Latto and Ice Spice are currently locked in a cold war that, even if it wasn’t true to begin with, they are definitely leaning into. However, we have to admit that while these two femcees are doing a great job of being competitive and calculated with their responses and subliminal jabs, their fanbases are also carrying a lot of weight in this battle. For example, apparently some 777 fans vandalized one of Spice’s billboard trucks in their fav’s home city of Atlanta, which promoted her new single “Think U The S**t (Fart).” They crossed out the emojis, wrote “777” next to them, and also wrote “Stream Sunday Service” below them.

Furthermore this follows an instance of Latto denying that something was a shot at Ice Spice… while also taking a shot at Ice Spice. She recently tweeted “Didn’t hit tho,” which many interpreted as a dig at her Bronx rival’s decision to put those trucks in Atlanta. Later, the 25-year-old wrote on the social media platform, “This was about that old pic going viral not that lil girl thanks,” and then deleted it off Twitter. Both fanbases were quick to respond and take more shots at each other, and now all that’s left is for them to directly call each other out.

Latto Fans Ruin Ice Spice’s Promo In Atlanta

Another hometown debate surrounds the rollouts for these singles that they’re fighting over. While Ice Spice filmed her “Think U The S**t (Fart)” video in Miami, Latto actually went to her opponent’s home city of the Bronx for the visuals for “Sunday Service.” Many thought that this was a downright dangerous decision for her, let alone a strong move against the 24-year-old. But they’ve kept things competitive solely on the rapping and artistic ends, which means there’s no real reason for escalation.

Meanwhile, other fans of the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker are taking sides and making their own moves to defend her. One of them is fellow New Yorker Funk Flex, who said he might not play “Sunday Service” out of solidarity with Ice Spice. Let’s see if she has any other moves up her sleeve. For more news on the Bronx MC and the latest updates on Latto, stick around on HNHH.

Latto Shades Ice Spice While Denying Reports Of Previous Rumored Diss

Latto has taken shots at Ice Spice while denying reports that she had taken shots at Ice Spice. After The Neighborhood Talk speculated that Latto tweeting “Didn’t hit tho” was a shot at Spice over the “Think U The Sh-t” billboards the latter sent to Atlanta, The Columbus rapper responded by actually taking shots at Spice. “This was about that old pic going viral not that lil girl thanks,” Latto wrote in the comments of the original post.

Of course, the “lil girl” jab sent Spice’s fans into a frenzy. “Latto calling Ice Spice “lil girl” is such a kii 🥴. Cause mind you, that “lil girl” is more awarded, outsold her entire discography in a year, & collaborated with her idol twice… not to mention MOST IMPORTANTLY that “lil girl” negotiated to keep her MASTERS, unlike Klayco Karen,” one fan argued. “She’s jealous of ice that’s why she said “little girl” cause she can’t stand the fact ICE gets the love/attention that SHE wants. 😂 it’s giving bothered lmao,” added another. The next shots in the ongoing feud will likely come when Latto’s “Sunday Service” debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

Latto & Cardi B Go Platinum With “Put It On Da Floor Again”

Meanwhile, Latto and Cardi B‘s 2023 summer banger “Put It On Da Floor Again” has gone platinum, according to Complex. Released in June 2023, the track was a Cardi-infused remix of Latto’s April hit. While the original track only peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard Bubbling Under chart, the addition of Cardi saw the remix peak at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Furthermore, the remix was widely praised by critics. “Cardi matches and then exceeds Latto’s energy. Once again, Cardi is endlessly quotable,” Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote.

Furthermore, the high-energy video was full of brief cameos as Cardi and Latto twerked and flexed across a variety of retail outlets. Offset and BabyDrill both made an appearance, as did LSU’s Angel Reese. Additionally, Cardi name-dropping the 2023 NCAA National Champions led the school to invite her to campus.

Ice Spice Seemingly Sends “Think U The Shit” Billboards To Atlanta, Fans Still Think Latto Won The Beef

Billboard trucks with an emoji version of Ice Spice’s “Think you the shit, you not even the fart” lyric have been spotted driving around Atlanta. While not confirmed to have been ordered by Ice Spice herself, it’s unclear who the target of the billboards is. However, many people believe that the move is a continuation of the rapper’s beef with Latto. “Think U The Shit (Fart)” was widely taken as a shot at Latto, who even responded to the track on her own release, “Sunday Service”.

Despite the move from Spice, fans still think that Latto won the beef. “She put a truck in Atlanta… Latto not only went to ices CITY but she filmed the video in ices exact hood.. Latto taking it,” one fan wrote. “She was too scared to go there herself? Or drop a better diss?” added another. “A truck with a sign on it ? Latto brought 20 plus black vans in ur city and filmed a whole mv,” concurred a third. “Sunday Service” is yet to debut on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, “Think U The Shit (Fart)” debuted at No. 37 and dropped to No. 52 in its second week.

Ice Spice Roasted For Super Bowl Performance

Meanwhile, Spice cannot escape the flopping allegations to save her life at the moment. “Tell The frozen spice girl to stop singing to me, I have a dashiki that’s older than her,” Michael Blackson wrote on Instagram. He also included footage of Spice rapping and twerking at the Fanatics Super Bowl Party, turning the camera to capture his concerned expression. Many fans were quick to skewer Spice in the comments too. “So she’s a stripper with a microphone. Got it,” one hater said. “Imagine your music being so trash you have to show your nakedness so we can forget that your music is trash 🗑,” concurred another.

However, Spice had a VIP seat for the game, rolling up to Travis Kelce’s suite with Taylor Swift. She also starred in an ad for Starry. In the ad, Spice is being rizzed up the soda brand’s two animated mascots when her “ex-boyfriend” shows up to try and win back the rapper. When she rejects him, the man’s head horrifyingly explodes in a fountain of soda. Titled “It’s Time To See Other Sodas”, the ad dropped on February 2. However, contrary to the belief of some gossip sites, the ad did not reveal any details of the rapper’s actual love life.

Donald Glover Had A Definitive Answer When He Was Asked If He’s More Talented Than Lil Dicky

Oh boy. When Donald Glover appeared on Vanity Fair‘s ever popular lie detector segment with Mr. And Mrs. Smith co-star Maya Erskine to promote their new show, Erskine used the opportunity to bombard him with questions about another of his shows — and possibly start a new beef in the process.

Erskine asked Glover — who has also rapped under the stage name Childish Gambino — whether he thinks he’s “more talented” than another rapper-turned-comedy-television-auteur, Lil Dicky, whose show Dave received critical comparisons to Glover’s show Atlanta. Donald’s answer? An unequivocal “yeah.” The interview went live a while ago, but has resurfaced on Twitter and is generating some buzz.

He even acknowledged that “this is gonna start beef,” but stuck to his guns, saying, “I actually like him. I think he’s a really nice guy. I’m just conceited.” Erskine wouldn’t let him off the hook, though, asking, “Were you insulted when critics compared Dave to Atlanta?”

This is something he’s addressed in the past — and I was definitely one of those critics, albeit in less of a “these things are similar” kind of way — but he didn’t shy away from giving another affirmative answer. He explained, “Not because I think that Dave is bad. I actually think that Dave is a good show. I just don’t think they have a lot in common.”

They didn’t… but they kinda did. Both dealt with aspiring rappers getting roped into some truly surreal situations with dark humor, moments of tenderness contrasted with sharp social insights, and surprisingly accurate depictions of the recording industry day-to-day. Both were made by extremely successful rappers known for the comedic nature of their rhymes. And it certainly didn’t help that they were even aired on the same network, FX.

But okay, yeah, there were a lot of differences too. Dave‘s Lil Dicky is a neurotic egomaniac who alternately champions and torpedoes his unlikely career despite or with the support of his colorful cast of friends. However, in Atlanta, Glover played the manager for Brian Tyree Henry’s Paper Boi, who seemed to view rap as more of a means to an end — getting out of the hood.

The only way to resolve this? A rap comedy roast. Have it on FX. Let Erskine, Chloe Bennet, and Vince Staples judge. It’ll be great.

Donald Glover’s been embracing his spicy side lately, admitting recently that his 2018 hit “This Is America” was a low-key Drake diss and sparking a mini-beef between the two actors-turned-rappers. But it sounds like he was just getting started.

Dr. Umar Reacts To Heckler Claiming They Slept Together The Night Before Event

Dr. Umar Johnson is not nearly as know for his recent hot takes on Eminem as he is for his studies and expression on Pan-Africanism, relationship dynamics, sexuality, and so much more. He touches on a lot of spicy and often contentious topics, especially within the Black community, so it’s no surprise that folks can have pretty strong reactions. However, none of those justifiably end in violence, and a woman at the media personality’s recent appearance in Atlanta almost took things a little too far. She approached him onstage and threw something at him before security at the venue appeared.

“Who’s that queen?” Dr. Umar Johnson asked plainly when the woman approached him, and she seemed to claim that they had slept together the night before. He claimed that he had never seen her in his life, and security promptly escorted her out as he continued his speech and riled the crowd up to quickly move past that interruption. Fortunately, the 49-year-old avoided any serious or harmful situation, and could go back to delivering his unfiltered and steamy takes on pop culture. Another recent topic of debate was his accusations against Cassie and Christian Keyes for “financial exploitation” amid their claims of sexual abuse against powerful individuals.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

If that sounds confusing, it’s because Dr. Umar has spent a lot of time calling out people who call others out, making it a pretty cyclical interaction sometimes. Say what you will about his views, but it’s clear that his thoughts and how he carries himself as a personality has garnered a lot of sympathizers. Some are very questionable, such as Andrew Tate, but who’s to say there can’t be common ground? Hopefully people just look at these topics at face value and don’t let other perspectives or biases cloud them.

Meanwhile, other supporters appreciated the Philly native’s criticism of Vanessa Bryant for how she handled her money after Kobe’s tragic loss. Whether that’s wrong or not is up to you to decide, but it’s clear that his views can often come across as very harmful to their intended targets. Maybe Dr. Umar’s next responses and events will see him turn a new leaf and be more empathetic and understanding rather than demonizing. With that in mind, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Umar Johnson.
