Kendrick Lamar Appears To Diss Drake On New SZA Song “30 For 30”

by

Kendrick Lamar and SZA have been a dynamic duo over the past few months. SZA had two standout appearances on Lamar’s album, GNX. They announced plans for a Grand National co-headlining tour in 2025. Now, Lamar has returned the favor and dropped a guest verse on SZA’s LANA (SOS Deluxe). It’s the lone feature on album, and sure enough, it has some subliminal disses packed into it. Lamar appears to go at someone SZA is friendly with, and all signs point to the target being Drake (again).

Kendrick Lamar’s verse appears on the song “30 for 30.” The rapper makes fun of someone SZA is close with, asserting they are more feminine than she is. “You f*ckin’ with n**gas that’s thinkin’ they cuter than you,” Lamar spits. “Say you on your cycle but he on his period too.” Drake was romantically involved with SZA at one point. The two also worked together on two huge singles in 2023, “Slime You Out” and “Rich Baby Daddy.” Drake went as far as to claim that SZA had Kendrick Lamar “wiped down” on his scathing Lamar diss “Push Ups.” Obviously, SZA has decided to back her former TDE brother in the battle.

Kendrick Lamar And SZA Repurposed A Drake Song Title

There are other Kendrick Lamar bars littered throughout “30 for 30” that could be aimed at Drake. He claims his unnamed target is tender by rapping: “the tenderness of ’em, mistaking ’em for some waygu.” Then there’s the bar: “the tables been turnin’ so much, I was thinkin’ its foosball.” Another stray that is very easy to apply to Drake, given that many have claimed Lamar has usurped him in popularity. Then there’s the title of the song. “30 for 30” is, famously, the name of a Drake song from 2015. Granted, he added the word “freestyle” to his song, but this does not seem like a coincidence.

Kendrick Lamar’s added subliminals make sense, assuming they are aimed at Drake. The 6 God has launched a legal case against UMG and Spotify over the success of Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” Drake claims that the streaming numbers for Lamar’s biggest hit were “artificially inflated.” It doesn’t take a close look to infer who Lamar’s bars about being “cute” and tender could be aimed at.

Claressa Shields Explains Her Surprising Reasons For Wanting To Fight Remy Ma

by

It seems like the cheating scandal between Remy Ma and Papoose is a bit more complicated than we thought, although it has nothing to do with the actual relationship. For those unaware, the former accused the latter of cheating on her with boxer Claressa Shields, but Remy has some cheating allegations of her own with battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain. The big shocker is that Shields’ desire to box the New York femcee has nothing to do with these claims of infidelity. In a teaser for her upcoming interview with Jemele Hill, the world champion revealed her real problems with Remy and spoke on their Instagram spat.

Furthermore, Claressa Shields had challenged any woman to beat her in a boxing match for $100,000, and while no one’s stepped forward, she clarified that she would fight Remy Ma for far less cash. “At this point the girl leaked my number,” the boxer expressed. “So at this point, you can give me a dollar and I’ll put my hand over her.” As such, it seems like this wouldn’t be a fight over Papoose, but rather a fight to make up for a perceived invasion of privacy.

Claressa Shields Explains Her Beef With Remy Ma

“It don’t have nothing to do with whatever else,” Claressa Shields remarked while explaining that her grievances with Remy Ma are not overly personal, but rather mostly professional. “It’s just that part alone. That part there is where it’s like, I’m a businesswoman. Don’t leak my number. Why would you do that? I mean, drama sells. I’m not in that beef. My smoke with her is posting my number. So people like, ‘Oh, she wants to fight her over a dude, whatever,’ stop it. Stop it. That is so beneath me.”

Meanwhile, Papoose recently clarified Fat Joe’s comments about the Remy Ma and Claressa Shields drama. Joey Crack spoke on how he couldn’t do much to stop their fighting despite being so close to both artists, whereas Pap clarified that he was not present at a dinner that Joe spoke of that got fans speculating rapidly. So as you can see, there is still a lot of baggage to handle.

50 Cent Calls Out Louisiana Senator For Shady Interview Comments

by

50 Cent is certainly no stranger to throwing shade online, but recently, the mogul found himself on the receiving end. During an interview with Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate earlier this week, Louisiana Senator Sam Jenkin shared his thoughts on Fif taking Shreveport by storm. For those who don’t recall, he opened G-Unit Studios Film and Television Studios there in April. He also held his Humor & Harmony Festival there this summer and more.

He’s become the second-largest property owner in the area, pouring millions into Shreveport as part of a three-phase revitalization plan, per AllHipHop. He’s also looking to implement housing and youth programs. Despite this, Jenkin has some concerns, urging the city to “pump the brakes a little bit” and “see what else is out there.” Unsurprisingly, these remarks didn’t sit right with 50 Cent, who promptly took to Instagram to respond.

50 Cent Questions Senator Sam Jenkin

“Sam Jenkins must not want things to turn around in Shreveport,” he wrote. “Who would not do a deal to wait for a imaginary deal to come? Or maybe he just lacks faith in me, what you think ?” In another post, he revealed that he’d just purchased five new properties in the region, referencing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. “This is phase ll I just bought the Le hall building +4 other properties down town. It appears to be upsetting people, but I don’t understand why nothing was active. 🤔 Dr king said people from Shreveport were very peculiar! 😳” his post read.

Sam Jenkin isn’t the only person 50 Cent’s called out on Instagram as of late, however. Recently, he also shared a disturbing clip of Benzino, in which he seemingly threatens suicide. Fif alleged that this was all because his girlfriend “called the cops for him allegedly beating her.” Benzino later hopped online to clear things up. According to him, he was actually rehearsing for a Tubi movie.

Cardi B Hopes Offset Would Die In Scathing Rant After Their Surprising Club Outing

by

Even though some fans thought that Cardi B and Offset’s joint club outing the other day hinted at a more amicable place, the broken-up couple quickly dispelled any notion of reconciliation. They continued to rant against one another online, and in a surfaced clip reportedly recorded after this night out, the Bronx femcee absolutely goes off on the former Migo. She called him a “b***h” and called him out for “trying to push this narrative” that she wants him back. It’s a pretty nasty situation overall that doesn’t really have much of an end in sight, unless they refrain from airing themselves out on social media.

“Happy as f**k that I gave you attention for one day!” Cardi B ranted against Offset. “Now you’re trying to spin the narrative like I want to be with you, knowing that that’s not it. I gave you some time out of spite because another n***a pissed me the f**k off. […] B***h, I will violate right now. This is why when your n***a get you mad, don’t go entertaining s**t from the past just because somebody else get you mad. Because they can’t f***ing wait.”

Cardi B’s Offset Rant

Also, Cardi B accused Offset of trying to get her to “crash out” in order to ward off her potential suitors. “F**k you, b***h,” she ranted. “I will really violate and crash out for real. Stop. Leave me the f**k alone. I f***ing hate you, I wish you’d die. That’s how much I f***ing hate you, b***h.” As for the Georgia MC, he has also pushed back against many of Cardi’s accusations and the online narratives that she’s pushing about their relationship dynamic.

Meanwhile, even their parenting skills came into question during this back-and-forth, despite Cardi B and Offset trying to keep their children out of it. But when one makes an accusation against another about this topic, the other party feels prompted to respond in kind. Hopefully the former couple’s future clashes don’t rope the kids into it, as their situation must be difficult enough. Sadly, we can’t predict that this will get any nicer on the Internet.

Wack 100 Reveals The Origin Story Behind His Beef With J Prince

by

During his most recent sit-down interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV, Wack 100 finally explained the origin of his combative beef with J Prince. Apparently, Wack sought to protect an older woman who had exclusive Larry Hoover footage and rights to interview him in prison in 1998. He wanted to make a television series on Hoover using this footage and access, particularly around his transition to a more clean and advocacy-driven image. The executive also relayed that he was working with Kanye West a lot at the time, as this was around Ye’s concert with Drake advocating for Hoover’s freedom.

Furthermore, Wack 100 reached out to J Prince to collaborate on this footage’s distribution as a lead-up to a Larry Hoover film. What caused a rift between the two, according to Wack, was how Wack felt that the Houston rap icon gave the woman a poor deal rather than making a fair, fruitful, and inclusive partnership. Then, the Los Angeles manager took this to social media, posting evidence clapping back at Prince’s claim of no involvement, and now they are fully at odds with each other.

Wack 100 Explains J Prince Beef

However, Wack 100 did recognize the good things that J Prince has done for hip-hop, his community, and more, but still expressed his staunch support of this woman throughout this situation. These clashes between executives are nothing new within the game, but it seems like the advent of social media made them even more common and varied over the past fifteen years. Everyone’s looking for a big slice of the pie, and everyone has loyalties that don’t mesh well with business. Nowadays, it seems like a lot of their back-and-forth also involves some street developments, which hopefully don’t escalate.

Not only that, but this feud between Wack 100 and J Prince also roped in their other affiliates, so there is plenty of room for things to get even more confrontational. Again, if they can keep that to social media statements and interview explanations, then that would be ideal. Otherwise, it would just be one more sticky situation that goes far beyond what was necessary.

Lil Baby Claims He Doesn’t Work With “Snitch” Rappers Amidst Gunna Tension

by

Lil Baby and Gunna used to be a musical dynamic duo. Drip Harder was a collaborative album that did wonders to boost both of their careers in 2018. The fallout of the Young Thug trial, however, has done damage to their relationship. Lil Baby and Gunna used to be close, but they have not worked together since it was rumored that Gunna snitched on their mutual mentor. Baby discussed the idea of rappers who “snitch” during a recent podcast appearance. He didn’t mention anybody by name, but made it clear he didn’t support them.

Lil Baby’s revelation came about on the A Safe Place Podcast. He told Lil Yachty that he makes a point to not work with rappers who have been deemed “snitches” by the industry. His reasoning? Lil Baby claims he has nothing in common with people who would sell out their own. “Those kinds of morals [are] never going to leave,” he asserted. “I’m always gonna look at certain stuff a certain way.” When asked to give additional context, Lil Baby boiled it down to subject matter. “It boils down to what we rapping about… We can’t rap about that if you did that,” he stated. “If I was making Christmas music, then I don’t give a damn what you did.”

Lil Baby Prides Himself On Authenticity In His Music

Lil Baby was steadfast in his convictions. He did, however, note that he would never out an artist for being a snitch. “I don’t even speak on n**gas,” he explained. “Even if it was in the streets, you wouldn’t put up posters saying he’s a snitch.” The rapper went on to make broader observations about hip hop and the ways in which lyrics have gotten certain artists in trouble. Lil Baby believes that rappers who brag about the crimes they’ve committed in song are ruining the genre as a whole.

“Rapping in these songs,” the rapper noted. “Talking about murders, and who you killed. That sh*t f*cking up the whole program.” Lil Baby believes this trend is not only impacting the business side of things but the personal as well. Artists are unable to promote and capitalize on their music if they’re locked up, and younger generations are emulating what they see. Lil Baby has not publicly called out Gunna, but the falling out between the two men suggests the former believes the rumor that Gunna snitched.

Snoop Dogg Admits He Loves Listening To Eazy E’s “Real Muthaphuckkin G’s” Diss Track

by

Snoop Dogg says he still listens to Eazy E’s “Real Muthaphuckkin G’s” diss track, on which the late rapper calls him out. He discussed the idea of enjoying diss tracks made against him during a recent interview with Bootleg Kev. “I got a station called ‘Cadillacc Music.’ Everyday at about 1:30. I walk down the hall. Eazy E, Dresta, and B.G. Knocc Out, be playing. And that sh*t be knocking. You hear me singing it,” Snoop said, before singing a portion of the song. “That n***a Eazy E was on my head. That sh*t’s so hard.”

As for whether he initially liked the song back in 1993, Snoop remarked: “F*ck no. F*ck them n****s. You don’t wanna give a n***a no credit when a n***a dissing you. We was on them n****s’ head. We had ‘What Would You Do.” We had ‘Dre Day.’ We had all kinda sh*t. We was busting them upside the head. But when they dropped that motherf*cker, we felt that one.” From there, Snoop explained that Eazy’s performance was so good that he was reconsidering his entire relationship with him.

by

Daylyt says Kendrick Lamar called him up on Ab-Soul’s phone after Drake dropped one of his diss tracks amid their ongoing feud. He recalled the hilarious moment and Lamar’s reaction to the song during a recent appearance on The Apollo podcast.

“It’s a FaceTime call, so I ignore the first one,” Daylyt joked. “He call again. I’m like, ‘Oh, it must be important.’ So, I’m thinking like it’s an emergency because Ab-Soul don’t really FaceTime me, especially not that early. I pick up, it was Dot bro. N**** was just lookin’ at the camera and hung up.” As the room burst out into laughter, Daylyt added: “The smirk that the n***a had on his face.

Cardi B Goes Off On Hater At Miami Strip Club: Watch

by

Cardi B has a lot on her plate these days. Aside from navigating a divorce from her ex Offset, she just welcomed her third child a few months ago and is working on her upcoming sophomore album. Despite all of this, she’s typically eager to chat and take photos with her fans, ensuring that each one of them has a positive and memorable experience. Unfortunately, one of these heartwarming fan encounters recently took a turn for the worse, as evidenced by new footage obtained by TMZ.

In the footage, Cardi can be seen posing for a photo in her car with a smiling supporter, when someone off-camera makes a shady remark. “Imma show you how much I hate you,” they said. Immediately, Cardi called them out, urging them to clarify. Eventually, she jumped out of the car and headed for the hater to confront them up close. Security intervened before the situation could escalate any further, but it’s safe to say they learned their lesson.

Cardi B Checks Man In Miami After Shady Remark

Fans can’t blame Cardi for being fed up, particularly amid all she’s been going through. It’s not the only drama she’s gotten wrapped up in as of late, however. Earlier this month, she took to Instagram Live to accuse Child Protective Services of harassing her. She even threatened to leak an employee’s personal info, though she never went through with it. This week, Offset seemingly dissed her parenting skills too with an interesting Instagram Story. “I couldn’t play how you do. Pray for them kids,” he wrote simply, leaving his followers to speculate.

Cardi also leaked some NSFW text messages from the former Migos member last week, shortly after a hacker exposed one of their explosive arguments. “And yes I did post that f*cking text message myself because it’s like I don’t like when n****s try to play me,” she explained at the time. “I really don’t like when n****s try to play me like I’m not the baddest b*tch.”

Lil Yachty Shoots Down Claim That Young Thug Supported Karrahbooo

by

Lil Yachty and Karrahbooo comprise one of 2024’s many hip hop feuds. The rappers had a falling out after Karrahbooo decided to leave Yachty’s Concrete Boys collective. She proceeded to make passive aggressive comments about the way Yachty treated (or mistreated) her. In response, Yachty has called Karrahbooo a liar and a victim. Things seemingly cooled off for a couple of months, but a Tuesday post from Karrahbooo kickstarted another heated exchange between the former peers.

Karrahbooo hopped on Instagram Live to detail her relationship with Young Thug. She claimed that Thug’s YSL label showed interest in her before she signed with Yachty. Even after Karrahbooo signed, and Young Thug was locked up, the rapper claimed that Thug showed her love. “Young Thug was in jail checking for me,” Karrahbooo recalled. “I told Boat, I was excited.” It was the rapper’s next statement that sparked controversy. She claimed Lil Yachty was nonplussed by Thug’s co-sign, since Thug was locked up. “He was like ‘What the f*ck can that n**ga do for you from jail?’,” Karrahbooo alleged. She proceeded to call Yachty a hater and criticized him for not publicly endorsing her sooner.

Lil Yachty Claimed Karrahbooo Is “Lying For Attention”

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Lil Yachty had thoughts. He took to Instagram shortly after the rapper made her comments, and refuted all of them. “Lying for attention,” Boat wrote. “I wish u well.” This is far from the first time Lil Yachty has accused his former artist of lying. In August, Lil Yachty blasted Karrahbooo for not being appreciative of the opportunity he gave her. He also claimed that she owed him a massive amount of money. “Tell people how you verbally abuse people,” he demanded. “Tell people how you talk to people… You $900,000 in the hole and I got every f*cing receipt.”

This isn’t the first time a female artist has linked Lil Yachty and Young Thug, either. Mariah the Scientist, who is currently dating Thug, claimed that she was romantically involved with Yachty when she attended college. Her revelation came during an October appearance on Caresha Please. Lil Yachty previously denied being involved with Mariah the Scientist. He even criticized the singer for not shooting down the rumors on social media.
