AI Companies Tied To Creation Of “BBL Drizzy” Are Being Sued By The RIAA

The RIAA is taking a stand against the highly controversial use of AI in music. According to AllHipHop and CNN, The Recording Industry Association of America is filing two lawsuits against a pair of companies in the space for their contributions to the creation of “BBL Drizzy”. The latter quickly went viral during its use in the Drake versus Kendrick Lamar beef, mainly due to Metro Boomin. The superstar producer initiated a challenge to other rappers to give their best stuff over the instrumental. Whoever won the contest would receive $10,000 reward and a free beat. However, the original “BBL Drizzy” sample can be credited to internet comedian, King Willonius.

The latter used the AI platform, Udio, which is itself developed by Uncharted Labs. The RIAA is targeting the latter, as well as Suno. The organization feels it is entirely necessary to approach it in this way because they feel that both are performing “blatant infringement”. Neither Uncharted Labs nor Suno have commented on the impending legal action, according to CNN.

The RIAA Is Fighting Against AI & “BBL Drizzy”

In the paperwork from the RIAA, their overarching argument is this, “If developed with the permission and participation of copyright owners, generative AI tools will be able to assist humans in creating and producing new and innovative music. [But] without regard for fundamental copyright protections”, there could be “irreparable harm”, as well as a “[reduction] the quality of new music”. Furthermore, the RIAA adds, “These digital music files have been released to the public—some already finding their way onto the major streaming services—and compete with the copyrighted sound recordings that enabled their creation; yet Suno sought no permission from and gives no credit or compensation to the human artists or other rightsholders whose works fueled their creation”.

What are your thoughts on the RIAA suing two AI companies for their contributions to the “BBL Drizzy” sample? How do you see this lawsuit playing out and why? Do you think if these entities are sued, it could deter further developments? Was this “BBL Drizzy” challenge a top five moment in the Drake versus Kendrick battle?

Shaquille O’Neal Confuses Fans By Trolling Drake With Strange “BBL Drizzy” Picture

Shaquille O’Neal has fans on social media at a loss after posting an edited photo of Drake’s face over a woman wearing a bikini that the NBA legend was embracing. He soundtracked the post with Metro Booomin’s “BBL Drizzy.” The original picture stems from a trip Shaq took to Spain in 2019, but there are conflicting reports about the identity of the woman. Some outlets have claimed her to be model Danielle Dilworth.

Plenty of Drake fans criticized the NBA legend when DJ Akademiks shared the post on Instagram. “This makes Shaq look way crazier than Drake. Drake is photo shopped. Shaq actually in this pic [laughing emoji]. Look like a pic he get off on,” one user wrote. Another added: “Imagine if Drake did something like this. Just imagine the outrage reaction Drake will get if he did this.”

Shaq isn’t the first NBA star to weigh in on the drama surrounding Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, and more artists. Lamar’s recent concert in Los Angeles, The Pop Out – Ken & Friends, featured several professional basketball players. LeBron James, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and DeMar DeRozan were all in attendance. At the show, Lamar performed several of his Drake diss tracks including the hit song, “Not Like Us.” He finished the concert by running through that single an emphatic five times over.

Drake Seemingly Trolls Fans By Posting “Wah Gwan Delilah” With Laughing Emoji

Drake really made fans question what was up on June 3. The rapper, still reeling from the Kendrick Lamar beef, decided to post a Toronto-slanged version of “Hey There Delilah.” The title? “Wah Gwan Delilah,” of course. We already covered how bizarre Drake’s decision was, and how social media reacted (not well at all), but the rapper’s social media has us questioning whether it was all a troll. Drizzy knows how to utilize narratives to his advantage, and the way he promoted the song on Instagram made it seem like he knew how bad it was…

Drake posted a screenshot of the song on his Instagram Story with the caption: “Wake up the city.” The city being Toronto, of course, which is where the other artist on the song, Snowd4y, also hails from. The rapper then added a laughing emoji and the emoji blowing smoke. The first a seeming acknowledgment of how bad “Wah Gwan Delilah” is, and the second a troll of how little heat it’s going to generate among fans. The song wasn’t added to streaming platforms, and is only available on YouTube or Soundcloud. It could very well be a troll on the rapper’s part, like his last Soundcloud release, “Taylor Made Freestyle.” The latter, however, had clear intentions.

A post shared by RapTV (@rap)

By using AI to recreate the voices of Tupac and Snoop Dogg, Drake was using Kendrick Lamar’s heroes to tear him down (or at least, that was the idea). “Wah Gwan Delilah” has actually sparked a similar level of confusion among fans, with some initially thinking it was AI-generated. Drake could very well be on a next level troll here, but the intention of this cover is extremely unclear. It’s hard to envision how a truly, truly bad cover would bolster the rapper’s reputation at this particular moment in time.

Drake has been in troll mode since the atom bomb that was “Not Like Us” dropped. He hopped on the Sexyy Red single “U My Everything” and even rapped over the “BBL Drizzy” beat as a means of taking the sting out of the Metro Boomin challenge. It didn’t really go over, though. Fans pointed out that Drake was falling into the same pattern that Lamar predicted on his disses. The rapper has a few features lined up for the upcoming Camila Cabello album. Regardless of how they fare, though, Drake needs a hit. The trolling (if it is trolling) is cool, but fans desperately want to see him return to form. “Wah Gwan Delilah” will hopefully represent a speed bump for the 6 God, and not the beginning of the end.

Yung Miami Is Not Convinced Drake Got A BBL: “That’s A Lot Of A**”

Amid Drake’s infamous “20 v. 1” feud, Rick Ross accused him of undergoing plastic surgery, giving him the nickname “BBL Drizzy.” As the battle progressed, Metro Boomin invited artists from around the world to jump in over his beat of the same name, offering a huge cash prize to whoever’s finished product he liked the most. Drake himself even recently decided to hop on the viral beat alongside Sexyy Red, on a track from her new EP “U My Everything.” He flipped the phrase in his favor, claiming that while he doesn’t have a BBL, lucky ladies looking to tweak their appearances go to him for funding.

Of course, most don’t believe that Drake actually underwent the procedure, and instead use the humorous nickname just to mock the Toronto-born performer and suggest he’s fake. Either way, Yung Miami gave her analysis of the rumors during a recent interview with Complex. According to her, there’s no way he got a BBL, as it would be strikingly obvious if he did.

Yung Miami Prefers Men With No A**

“Do you know what a BBL is?” she asked interviewer Yedoye Travis. “That’s a lot of a**. A BBL is a big a**.” The City Girl went on to share her take on men in general getting the procedure, revealing that she’s personally not a fan. “I don’t want no man with no a**,” she explained. “No, it can’t be like an a** a**.”

While Yung Miami herself prefers her men with little to no junk in the trunk, she encourages people to do whatever they choose with their own appearances, reminding them that “we’ve all gotta die one day.” What do you think of Yung Miami shutting down rumors that Drake has a BBL? Do you agree with her or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

What Does ‘BBL Drizzy’ Mean? The Diss Inspired By Metro Boomin, Explained

What exactly does “BBL Drizzy” mean, and why is this song everywhere?

“BBL Drizzy” is the name of an instrumental beat created by St. Louis producer, Metro Boomin, as a response to Drake exhorting the beatmaker to “shut up and make some drums” on his Kendrick Lamar diss track, “Push Ups.”

That’s exactly what Metro did, crafting a beat from an interpolation of an AI-generated song. But you knew all that; what you really want to know is WHY. So, strap in, folks. We’re going for a RIDE.

First of all, we have to explain: What, or who, is “Drizzy?” I’m starting here because it’s the easiest part to explain. Drizzy is a nickname for Drake. If you don’t know who Drake is… I mean, come on. You know who Drake is.

Secondly, we have to contend with just what the heck “BBL” means. I’m sorry to be the one to inform you, but “BBL” stands for “Brazilian Butt Lift,” a cosmetic surgical procedure also known as lipoinjection or autologous fat transfer (fun fact, it was actually invented by a Venezuelan guy! Those dang Americans and their poor geography skills!). Basically, the surgeon sucks the fat from somewhere else on the body, e.g., the stomach, and injects it into the buttocks. It’s a popular procedure among so-called “IG baddies,” who would be “video vixens” in millennial-speak.

Okay, so, we now know what a BBL is, and who Drizzy is, but why “BBL Drizzy?” Well, because of long-circulating, unconfirmed rumors that Drake got liposuction done to give himself an enviable six-pack of abs. The reason that surgery is being turned into a completely different one is because, well, it’s funnier that way, and the whole point of the song is to make fun of Drake.

The original song was prompted by a comedian named King Willonius, who was inspired by a Rick Ross tweet in which the Miami rapper accused Drake of getting a BBL done. Udio, the app used to make the song, produced a vintage-sounding song that Metro then interpolated to make a beat, which he then offered up on social media for anyone to use for any purpose, which pretty much ensured its spread.

Meanwhile, Drake, in an effort to take back control of the narrative, has co-opted it by attaching it to the end of Sexyy Red’s Tay Keith-produced new single, “U My Everything.” You can see the thinking behind it; he’s proved adept at flipping the internet’s jokes in the past, but this time, he may be in over his head.

Sexyy Red Originally Previewed Drake’s “BBL Drizzy” Verse To Gillie Da Kid & Wallo: Watch

Sexyy Red and Drake surprised fans last night with a brand-new collaboration. Overall, they combined their talents on the song “U MY EVERYTHING” which can be found on Sexyy’s new project In Sexyy We Trust. What makes this particular track from the two stand out is the fact that it samples “BBL Drizzy.” For those who are out of the loop, “BBL Drizzy” is a beat that Metro Boomin made as a way to poke fun of Drake and kick him while he was already down in the Kendrick Lamar beef.

So far, the reactions to Drake’s new verse have been polarizing. Some appreciate the fact that he would go out of his way to troll, while others think he is just proving Kendrick to be correct in his character assessments. Either way, it has been a pretty wild turn of events, and fans are still reeling. Now, footage is coming out of Sexyy Red previewing the track to Gillie Da Kid and Wallo. In the clip below, you can see them absorbing Drake’s verse, although Wallo seems more confused than impressed.

Sexyy Red Explains How Chief Keef Was Supposed To Be On The Track

During this clip, Sexyy Red also explains how the song was originally made for Chief Keef. The two have great musical chemistry, and he reportedly wanted her to make an R&B track with him. However, with the “BBL Drizzy” stuff going on, it just made more sense for Drake to hop on this song. Now, it will be up to fans to determine whether or not this is truly a hit.

Let us know what you thought of the new collaboration between Drake and Sexyy Red, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Drake has effectively turned the tide of the beef by rapping over “BBL Drizzy?” Or was this a corny move that fans are going to continue hating on?

Drake Gets Petty, Raps Over “BBL DRIZZY” Beat On New Sexyy Red Collab “U My Everything”

Drake and Sexyy Red are back at it again. The controversial “two bad b****es” are furthering their chemistry and relationship on a new cut from In Sexyy We Trust. This a follow-up mixtape to the St. Louis native’s 2023 breakthrough, Hood Hottest Princess. It comes at an awkward time for each artist, as she has been tied into some disses from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. But Red has not let those distractions get to her, as she is arguably at the peak of her powers.

“Get It Sexyy” has quickly become an anthem for this year and the number of features she has provided, especially for Chief Keef, have been a big deal. Now, she can “U My Everything” to that growing list of accomplishments. She managed to get Drake first before anyone else could since the beef, as he seems to be ready to work on new endeavors. These two have created some interesting tracks together, to say the say the least. But this one may take the cake.

Listen To “U My Everything” By Sexyy Red & Drake

Both play into the absurdity of the record, with Sexyy Red purposefully singing poorly at the start. It is quite hilarious, and it makes a callback to the Rolling Loud performance from this year. Then, there’s Drake who plays into the “BBL DRIZZY” accusations halfway through his verse. “Me and the surgeon got history I changed a lot of girls’ lives for real / They need a new body, they hittin’ me, ayy / BBL Drizzy, they want a new body, they ask me for it.” The wild part about this is when these bars drop, the Tay Keith beat switches up to the Metro Boomin diss instrumental “BBL DRIZZY BPM 150.mp3.” It certainly a petty thing for him to do, but it is Drizzy’s MO.

What are your thoughts on “U My Everything” by Drake and Sexyy Red? Is this the best track from In Sexyy We Trust, why or why not? Do you think this was a chess move for Drake to rap over “BBL DRIZZY?” Do you see Metro Boomin responding to this at all? Who had the stronger performance?

Or maybe you go to Saint Martin with me if these n****s take break and quit startin’ with me
Maybe we go to Saint Kitts

Sexyy Red Masterfully Trolls Fan Who Asked Her If She Slept With Drake For A Feature

Sexyy Red and Drake have become a dynamic duo as of late. In fact, they just teamed up yet again for a new song off of the former’s new EP In Sexyy We Trust. The song is called “U MY EVERYTHING” and as it turns out, the song samples “BBL Drizzy.” Overall, this was an interesting move from Drake. After all, “BBL Drizzy” was meant to make fun of him. However, now, the beat and the song itself belong to Drizzy and Sexyy Red. It’s a nightmare for Metro Boomin, although Drake’s latest chess move is still being debated.

As we reported, fans actually aren’t all that impressed with the move. Some have been stating this was an incredibly weak move by Drake that just proves everything Kendrick said to be true. However, there are plenty of fans out there who are happy with the performance. Sexyy Red and Drake have a history of making good songs together and “U MY EVERYTHING” is proving to be yet another example of this. However, some fans are curious as to how Sexyy keeps getting Drake features. In fact, on IG, one person asked Sexyy if she slept with Drake for the feature.

Sexyy masterfully trolled the fan by simply responding “yes.” Whether or not this was sarcastic doesn’t actually matter. What matters is the fact that now the public is going to be second guessing everything about this duo. Sexyy and Drake have proven over the years to be quite shameless, which makes it all that much funnier. Whether or not the internet takes any of this serious, still remains to be seen.

Drake Unleashes The Fury Of The Internet With His “BBL Drizzy” Antics On Sexyy Red’s “U MY EVERYTHING”

Drake has had it rough over the last few weeks. Overall, this is due to his beef with Kendrick Lamar, which saw him take a massive loss. In fact, one could say this was a worse loss than what happened with Pusha T. However, this is Drake we are talking about here. He is one of the biggest artists in the entire world, and people are always going to tune in, regardless of what is going on in his personal life. In fact, fans have been eager to see what his next move would be given everything that has happened.

Well, on Thursday night, fans got a glimpse at his newest chess move. As you can see down below, Drizzy gave Sexyy Red a feature on the track “U MY EVERYTHING” which comes off of her new EP In Sexyy We Trust. Interestingly enough, the song samples Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy.” Of course, Drake is using the beat as a way to get back at Metro while also reclaiming the production for himself. On the surface, it is a great strategic play, however, other fans are much more cynical.

Drake Raps Over “BBL Drizzy”

Online, there are plenty of people who like the verse. However, the detractors are a lot louder right now. “Drake rapping over BBL drizzy 3 weeks later with sexy red just proving he’s consistently corny and not as quick a thinking as his bars led yall to believe,” one person on Twitter wrote. “Kendrick got Drake so bothered bruh, then on a sexy redd song..his team is full of yes men. Because why would you even touch bbl drizzy. Nobody tells that man no,” said another. There were various other takes with similar sentiments. It seems for now, it is going to be difficult for Drake to impress the general public, at least for right now.

Fans React

Let us know what you think of the new Drake verse, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this was a smart move for the artist to rap over the “BBL Drizzy” beat. Or do you think this was a huge misstep that puts him yet another deep hole? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.
