Lana Del Rey Responds To Lizzo Beef Rumors

by

In one of the oddest social media “beefs” of 2024, Lana Del Rey and Lizzo almost became enemies in the music space, and it was all due to a troll account. Per Complex, Twitter account Drop Pop posted alleged screenshots of the latter commenting on a TikTok video of the former on Wednesday (November 13). “I’d like to see you back on the charts,” the Special singer supposedly wrote, with the “Tough” artist replying with “I would love to see you run on a treadmill.” A lot of fans saw this and completely forgot some key details, namely that Drop Pop is a parody account. They eventually deleted the post, but they did follow it up with another fake screenshot: “I hope that alligator eats your big a**” versus “you’d know about eating biggie.”

Then, Lana Del Rey commented on an Instagram post about the fabricated Lizzo beef with some more clarifications. “I don’t think I have an official TikTok, other than the grants one sooooo,” “Or a Twitter,” and “Very random” were her responses. Of course, both are known to not really take social media criticism too seriously. The Detroit flautist recently laughed off jabs from Antonio Brown about Ozempic.

Lana Del Rey Dismisses Lizzo Beef Allegations

As for Lana Del Rey, this fake Lizzo beef might not even be the most bizarre crossover with an artist outside of her genre and aesthetics this year. Fans expressed shock when she threw it back with Sexyy Red at the Hangout Festival, which was definitely not what they expected to see on their feed. They both seemed to have a great time and be well-aware of how odd this link-up must look to people on the outside.

In any case, we’re glad that Lana Del Rey and Lizzo aren’t at odds and we just hope that people stop mixing up these parody accounts with more straightforward reporting. After all, the latter has enough smoke to deal with from South Park, although she took it in stride like she always does. Both artists also face strong fan demand to follow up on their last projects with their next moves, so we’ll see what the future holds.

Young Thug’s Merciless Tweet And Delete About Gunna Elicits A Myriad Of Reactions On Social Media

by

Young Thug and Gunna are stirring up quite the frenzy on social media (Twitter to be specific) right now. This is all thanks to a tweet and delete from the YSL leader that quickly caught many fans’ attention. “Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know u my guy,” Thugger wrote. It’s a very shocking revelation, as there was a valid belief that both Atlanta rappers were on good terms. Following his release from trial hell at the end of October, he was ordered to not have any communication with any YSL members. However, Thug’s brother and Gunna are omitted from that stipulation.

In turn, that also means that they can put out new music together. However, that seems to be out of the realm of possibility. We have some optimism here, as this situation could be the victim of hacking. Given how much noise was around this trial and all of the snitching allegations, someone could be trying to get their 15 minutes. But until Thug speaks out, the internet is going to assume otherwise. That’s what everyone is doing right now and in a variety of ways.

Did Young Thug Get Hacked Or Did He Mean To Diss Gunna?

DJ Akademiks was one of the main pundits in firm belief that Thug and Gunna were at odds, claiming that the former was spreading the news to other MCs that the latter is a rat. He doubled down following the tweet, which you can see above. Kai Cenat also caught wind of this, and his reaction is both hilarious and probably accurate for some. Others are taking the time to crack the best joke, using memes to bolster them. There are also some saying that Thug is making a mistake by choosing Lil Baby over his YSL brother and taking Gunna’s side in the process. Overall, these next 24 hours could be very telling.

Fans Joke About The Two Rappers Alleged Beef

What are your thoughts on Young Thug’s supposed tweet and delete about Gunna? What reaction do you relate to the most and why? If this is real, do you think these two will ever work together again? 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 Young Thug and Gunna.

Young Thug Fans Think He Shaded Gunna With His Recent Tweets Post-Prison Release

by

Young Thug recently broke his silence after his release from prison via a series of very interesting tweets. “Real plea deal jack!” he posted, referencing the plea deal he took in the YSL RICO case that resulted in 15 years on probation. “Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter,” Thugger added on Sunday (November 3), seemingly teasing a collab with “Wham,” better known as Lil Baby. With these two brief but highly consequential messages, many fans out there think that he sent shade Gunna’s way. The Drip Harder duo seemingly sent shots each other’s way over the past two years or so over allegations that Wunna “snitched” by taking a plea deal almost two years ago. He’s denied those accusations and continued to advocate for his mentor’s freedom.

However, this beef speculation doesn’t make a lot of sense for some fans, since Young Thug – via his lawyer Brian Steel – asked in court to keep collaborating with Gunna during his plea motion, even though the conditions of his probation bar any contact with YSL affiliates. For the record, the judge approved this. “He’s a phenomenal artist,” Steel stated of the One Of Wun MC. “[They[ are contractually obligated. And they frequently perform music together.”

Young Thug Tweets Cause Gunna Diss Speculation

As for fans’ theories, some think that Young Thug’s reference to a “real plea deal” takes shots at Gunna’s own plea deal. Elsewhere, the mention of “rats” and “peter” could also reference him, as fans thought the same of his “pushin’ Peter” lyric on the 2023 album BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, on which the track “Parade On Cleveland” with Drake features a jail call seemingly with Thug and Drake. Various other YSL sources gave other conflicting remarks on this, though. For example, Jeffery’s father has defended the “fukumean” artist on various occasions.

Fans React

Regardless, fans look forward to new music addressing all of this, theorizing how Young Thug could return to the mic considering his probation conditions. Maybe this is all just a reach and there actually aren’t any issues with Gunna, or the call to continue collaborating was a false flag. With so many possible interpretations, we have to wait for more solid confirmation. Check out fans’ reactions to these tweets down below.

Joe Budden Podcast Debates If Drake Is In A Position To Go At JAY-Z

by

Overall, 2024 is a year to forget for Drake. He was publicly embarrassed by Kendrick Lamar and some of his output is some of the worst of his career. However, it seems like he may be heading into 2025 with another titan in his sights. At the top of the week, Drake interestingly posted the infamous 2014 elevator quarrel between JAY-Z and Solange to his Instagram Story. It was a weird and inexplicable debacle that seems to not be an issue for anyone that was involved. Even with that being known, there’s some speculation going on that is suggesting that Drizzy’s trying to use it as ammunition against Hov.

Some think that this has something to do with Jay selecting Kendrick for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but it’s murky. Overall, Drake has had issues with the Roc Nation boss previously, so it’s not too surprising in that regard. However, it is in that same breath because The Boy tried to take down K. Dot and it fired back in a pretty devastating fashion. Of course, there’s also the Pusha T takedown from a few years ago as well.

The Joe Budden Podcast Debates Drake & JAY-Z

Some of these points were made on a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast while debating whether or not Drake should go at one of the G.O.A.T.s. One person on the panel thinks because he’s been so dominant in terms of sales and plays, his ego is clouding his judgement and it’s causing him to lose to the “big dogs.” They also brought up Hov’s past battles with a Nas, for example. Joe Budden thinks Drake should take the Nicki Minaj approach and go for the corporations (Roc Nation in this case) that he feels are sabotaging him. Both are pretty sound arguments, so we need to hear your answers to the following questions.

What are your thoughts on Joe Budden and the panel debating whether or not Drake should start feuding with JAY-Z? Whose argument do you agree with more and why? Do you think Drizzy was calling out Hov a few days ago? 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 Drake, JAY-Z, and Joe Budden. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Drake Likes Post About Theory That Him And J Cole Are Enemies

by

The mantra for Drake this year has to be “no friends in the industry”. Kendrick Lamar has been the big bad wolf for him, but there has been a laundry list of artists taking their own shots at Drizzy. Future, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and A$AP Rocky are just a few of them to name. But it extends even beyond the hip-hop circle too, at least in the eyes of Drizzy. LeBron James has been documented saying how much he’s enjoyed “Not Like Us”, and he even showed K. Dot support by appearing at the Pop Out.

All of that love between the California residents seemed to annoy Drake enough to unfollow LBJ on IG, as well as Lamar and Playboi Carti. Another one that could be on his bad side could be J Cole. That’s at least what Rory and MAL are theorizing and what Drake might be in agreement on. The series of clips from this discussion made their way to Instagram and The Boy dropped a like on the repost of it. It’s classic behavior from him, so it is giving us pause. But in that same breath, we aren’t ruling it out.

Even though Cole has not been wanting to get involved in the beef, he has thrown himself into some situations that would suggest otherwise. Rory and MAL point those out including the “Ruby Rosary” collab with Rocky and his work with Daylyt recently. In fact, both podcasters are pretty sold that Cole has “drawn a line in the sand” and has picked a side. MAL even goes on to allege that Cole knows Drake doesn’t mess with him or really anyone for that matter. Some fans were disagreeing, saying that Cole just likes making music with everyone so he’s going to jump on a lot of opportunities regardless of who they are. It may be a bit of stretch generally speaking, but who knows at this point.

What are your thoughts on Drake liking a debate about him and J Cole potentially beefing? Do you think Rory and MAL are up to something, why or why not?

Naomi Campbell Clarifies Rihanna Beef Rumors

by

We’ve seen this year how far celebrity beefs can go, but we forget that so many of them are just rumors that don’t have much to go off of. Ironically enough, this fuels the idea of a feud even further. This was the case for Rihanna and Naomi Campbell, two superstars in their respective (multiple) fields that have crossed paths plenty of times before in amicable ways. Still, at one point in the road, fans speculated that there was a rift, possibly starting in 2017 due to their common ex, Hassan Jameel. However, Campbell recently dispelled these beef rumors outright.

“I’m not about to let the world pit two Black women against each other. We are two women with two children, mothers,” she reportedly stated, according to The Jasmine Brand. For those unaware, this narrative recently resurfaced due to Naomi Campbell and Rihanna crossing paths at an Alaïa show during New York Fashion Week. RiRi seemed to walk past Campbell and stylist Law Roach without saying hello, and a subsequent social media interaction between the pair had fans speculating that they were shading the Barbadian superstar in response.

At least now we know that these beef rumors are just hearsay. Also, Naomi Campbell has much larger problems to handle than a speculative Rihanna beef. She received a ban from her trustee position at her charity Fashion For Relief due to alleged financial misconduct, a disqualification that reportedly lasts five years per The Guardian. “Fashion for Relief, which has been removed from the register of charities, was set up for the purpose of poverty relief and advancing health and education by making grants to charities or other organizations and by giving resources directly to those affected,” the UK’s Charity Commission stated. “The inquiry saw no evidence that trustees had reviewed the charity’s operating model to ensure fundraising methods were in the charity’s best interest and costs were reasonable relative to income generated.”

Meanwhile, Rihanna recently bonded with another celebrity mom, Nicki Minaj, over an adorable video of her son RZA. If she and Naomi Campbell ever really get into it, we know how they could find common ground.

Rihanna Catches Heat For Allegedly Ignoring Naomi Campbell At New York Fashion Week

by

Rihanna and Naomi Campbell have had beef rumors swirling around them for years now, none of which have really manifested into anything concrete. That being said, we don’t really blame folks for assuming that they don’t like each other given what little we have seen. For example, both superstars attended a New York Fashion Week event on Friday (September 6). The Dior partner went up to greet a man who was sitting right next to Campbell, and RiRi didn’t seem to acknowledge her at all. You can see this for yourself in the video down below, which many fans are treating as gospel.

Furthermore, for those unaware, Naomi Campbell denied that she and Rihanna had any sort of issues back in 2021. As for what the origin of this whole thing is, we’re not sure, although many assume that it’s just a competitive relationship in the worlds of media, fashion, and more. It’s far from Campbell’s only big-name celebrity interaction this year, though, which shouldn’t really be surprising considering her overwhelming fame. She sat front row with Kendrick Lamar (or rather, the other way around, since she’s the fashion icon here) for Chanel’s runaway earlier this year.

Rihanna & Naomi Campbell’s NYFW Interaction… Or Lack Thereof

Elsewhere, Rihanna doesn’t have to worry about people like Naomi Campbell when her husband A$AP Rocky is right there to sing her praises. “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” he told Billboard of their bond. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

However, RiRi might have to make some major moves in her fashion-related businesses soon. Her CEO for Savage X Fenty quit after a year, instead taking a position at Victoria’s Secret. It’s unclear how this will impact Rihanna’s endeavors, and we still don’t have much news as to what the next steps are. If only there was a supermodel with decades of experience and plenty of style and business acumen to ask advice from…

Big Sean Clarifies His Alleged Diss Toward Lil Yachty On “Better Me Than You”

by

On Better Me Than You, Big Sean poured out his emotions and thoughts. After such a long wait in between projects, the Detroit rapper definitely wanted to make up for lost time in that regard, but also in terms of the amount of material. Along with the standard issue of his sixth studio LP, he also delivered four alternate versions that physical exclusives. They come in vinyl form and the names of each are Feelings, Focus, Clarity, and Pressure. The last of the bunch is causing some discussion online thanks to a sit-down between Sean and Complex.

During the interview, he was asked about a couple of lines on “Wire Me”, which seems to be the only additional bonus track included on the aforementioned editions. On it, Big Sean raps, “I mean, I might have to even throw ’em a lil’ boat—pff / I’m seein’ n****s gettin’ drowned out, ’cause they can’t switch up the flow / Just give ’em a year or two, and they gettin’ exposed“. Due to the inclusion of lil’ boat, the immediate thought for many was that it was a direct shot at Lil Yachty. However, Sean Don was quick to shut down the rumors, according to HipHopDX.

“I wasn’t talking about [Lil Yachty]. Yachty is on the album as well. On ‘Yes’ he’s doing adlibs with me. No, I’m not taking a jab at Yachty. It was like a whole double entendre. If I was referencing him] that would have been a whole other entendre”, he explained. Later on, he mentioned that fans might be able to hear more of the Georgia multi-hyphenate on the project. “He was in the studio with me while I was making the album. He actually has a verse on [‘Yes’] too. I might throw it on there later”. That would certainly be an interesting thing to hear and we hope he comes through on that.

Lil Yachty Re-Follows Drake On Instagram Following Intense Fan Speculation

by

Well, that was quick. Fans of Lil Yachty and Drake’s collaborative chemistry breathed a sigh of relief when it became clear that the former is now following the latter on Instagram. Moreover, this is because social media users initially went into a frenzy due to the Atlanta creative unfollowing the Toronto superstar, which eagle-eyed followers spotted on Tuesday (August 20). Of course, a lot of the controversy behind this is that the duo has a strong personal bond. Also, they picked a very inconvenient time to spark this sort of thing, as the rest of the world has intensely tallied up Drizzy’s enemies in the rap game for a couple of months now.

But the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle isn’t the only factor that fans thought contributed to Lil Yachty’s unfollow. It’s also the fact that, based on some online teases, Drake is gearing up to officially release the track “Supersoak.” However, it seems like this cut no longer features Yachty. The Let’s Start Here. artist had initially leaked the original collaborative version of this song to Kai Cenat after they failed to clear the sample. The reason why is because the sampled artist, Mr. Hotspot, refused to do so unless they made a clean version of their link-up.

Lil Yachty Re-Follows Drake (If He Ever Really Unfollowed Him In The First Place)

As such, when Lil Yachty unfollowed Drake for a brief moment, one popular fan theory was that Mr. Hotspot allowed the latter to drop the song if he removed the former from it. After all, it was Yachty who spilled much of this tea on a recent podcast. During this same session, he also expressed regret over sharing his thoughts on the Kendrick Lamar beef. These comments really angered much of the OVO fanbase, and planted the seeds of doubt concerning their friendship that manifested today.

Meanwhile, Lil Yachty also has some other critics to deal with. Jim Jones challenged him to a “fashion battle” to settle the debate over Atlanta style and New York style that Yachty sparked earlier this year. Regardless of whether or not this Drake situation is anything legitimate, he will probably continue to share his unfiltered and outspoken perspective on the culture. Let’s see whether or not they will spend “Another Late Night” in the studio together or if this marks something more contentious.

Benny The Butcher Addresses J Cole Diss Rumors On New Album

by

Corny rap fans only have two ways of looking at a relationship between two MCs: they should either be best friends dropping a joint album or dissing each other on wax for sport. It’s a pretty reductive way of looking at artistry and collaboration, especially in today’s hip-hop climate that has some really salient examples of both extreme outcomes, but is mostly filled with friendly or distant competition on smaller scales. But a lot of times, these corny rap fans are right on the money with their thirst for beef… Did they get it right this time around? Well, Benny The Butcher himself finally has an answer on his new album, Summertime Butch.

For those unaware, there’s been some fan rumblings for some time now that J. Cole sneak dissed Benny on their “Johnny P’s Caddy” collab off the Black Soprano Family boss’ 2022 album, Tana Talk 4. Even some media figures like Math Hoffa speculated on this idea, taking incredibly competitive and flag-planting verses from each lyricist to their logical extremes. It’s similar to the conversation that once dominated Kendrick Lamar’s feature on Big Sean’s “Control,” as less knowledgeable fans (and rappers…) misrepresented K.Dot’s competitive invitation as outright disrespect. On the track “The Blue Building,” Benny The Butcher finally spoke on these rumors.

Benny The Butcher’s “The Blue Building”: Listen

“Trolls tell me I got dissed by Cole on my record,” Benny The Butcher raps on the cut. “I’m like, ‘Is y’all slow?’ That’s my n***a / We having hour-long conversations from home / I’m picking his brain on my way to the throne, I ain’t no dumb n***a / I ain’t get here focusing on figures alone, I played more of the distributor role / He told me, ‘Butch, if you see yourself winning, you got a vision to throw.’”

So there you have it, fans: you don’t have to worry about Benny The Butcher and J. Cole trading bars anytime soon. In other Butch news, he recently gave due flowers to another killer spitter: Lloyd Banks. “Lloyd Banks, one of the top n***as ever,” the Buffalo native shared on Instagram. “That’s one rap n***a that n***as don’t wanna play with, He got a million lines. You be like, ‘How the f**k I didn’t think of that?’”
