Kendrick Lamar Responds To Drake In Super Bowl Announcement: “No Round 2s”

by

For the umpteenth time in 2024, Kendrick Lamar has stopped the hip-hop world in its tracks. He just announced on Sunday (September 8) that he will be the headlining act at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show in New Orleans on February 9, 2025. In his announcement video, K.Dot even made a cheeky and downright dismissive reference to his victory in the Drake battle that raged on just a few months ago. “You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship. No round two’s,” he says at one point in the video linked in the post below. This, of course, electrified a lot of fans, whether they are Kendrick fans or not.

Furthermore, this “Round 2” reference is about Drake’s recent IG burner post about “winning Game 2,” which many took as a direct reference to the Kendrick Lamar battle. We don’t know what he actually meant by this, though, as a “Game 2” can mean many different things. Does the 6ix God actually plan on lyrically battling the Compton rapper again or is this more of a symbolic flex about career longevity and commercial success? After all, anyone who truly thought that the OVO mogul’s career would be over after this beef is delusional.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Announcement

With all this feud discourse in mind, you can already imagine the kind of criticisms and praises that Kendrick Lamar and Drake fans are throwing out in reaction to this. When one fan gets excited about Kendrick stomping on Drizzy for the millionth time, another fan thinks that “Not Like Us” is Mr. Syrup Sandwiches’ only big hit. Nevertheless, this adds to some other teases about the former TDE lyricist’s next moves, including a possible future collab with Playboi Carti. Don’t get your hopes up, though: that’s still purely speculative as of writing this article.

Meanwhile, we can’t wait to see what Kendrick Lamar brings to the Super Bowl halftime show next year, especially as this suggests that he might drop something to pair with it. But that wasn’t the case for Rihanna, so let’s not get our hopes up. In any case, this should definitely mitigate some of the lost momentum that some people attributed to his tardiness. Whether or not any of this actually relates back to the Drake battle remains a mystery, as this announcement suggests that The Boy will be yapping to a brick wall if he tries to re-engage.

Tia Kemp Tells Rick Ross To Check On Diddy: “You Was On His Nuts!”

by

Tia Kemp is once again trolling her ex Rick Ross online by bringing up his Diddy connections, a sadly common route of attack in 2024. We say that because of the man unresolved lawsuits against the Bad Boy mogul, as the prevalence of this scandal has made many use it casually without much respect to the alleged victims in question or to Sean Combs’ character. Nevertheless, Kemp asked Rozay to check on his friend, mocking their various parties and previous social media antics. She even roped DJ Khaled into the whole debacle, clearly using any and all links to eviscerate Ross’ close ties.

It’s not the first time that Tia Kemp has spoken about a rap figure’s possible proximity to the Diddy scandal. For example, she theorized that Joe Budden’s criticisms of him and of Yung Miami actually indicate that he’s jealous of their previous relationship. “Yeah, I think these men be mad that she had Diddy and they didn’t,” Kemp responded to the podcaster’s viral rant against the former City Girl. As for the attacks against Rick Ross, those work with the opposite narrative.

Tia Kemp Goes Off On Rick Ross

Speaking of The Biggest Boss, Tia Kemp isn’t his only opponent these days. He’s also kept up his long-standing feud with 50 Cent, who’s also taken many opportunities to clown both him and Diddy together. But Rick Ross can also be on the offensive. “Cuban Link [broken heart emoji],” he commented under a post of Fif explaining his celibacy and praising its outcomes. This refers to how 50 and Cuban Link seemingly broke up, something that Ross quickly trolled him with after she was spotted out with Travis Scott.

Meanwhile, despite Tia Kemp and Rick Ross’ issues, the former would still want to do a reality TV show with him. “Now you need to come over here and we need to do this farm ranch show,” she explained on social media. “They want to see us as a family and ride horses and cattle and all that. Me feeding horses and cows and slapping the s**t outta you with a stack of hay or shovel or something.” It might be cathartic for both…

Latto Hit With Twitter Hack That Dissed Nicki Minaj & SZA

by

Latto’s social media team must be scrambling right now, because she’s currently subjected to a Twitter hack as of last night (Saturday, September 8). Moreover, these posts on the account include some shade towards SZA and Nicki Minaj and leaked personal information. From what we can gather from a lot of these tweets (most of which don’t have anything to do with the Atlanta femcee herself), it looks like this is someone trying to get back at their ex-partner, who’s a fan of her music. It’s all a pretty complicated situation and still a very unclear one, so we’ll see if the near future holds any updates.

Furthermore, Latto indicated via her Instagram Story that she was aware of the hack, and is probably trying her best to regain access. This adds to a pretty turbulent but nonetheless successful year for the Trapper of the Year. Between a new album, some combative bar trades with Ice Spice, and a whole lot of fan discussions, there was a lot to take in for 2024. She’s handled it all pretty well so far, as evidenced by a recent and hilarious interaction.

Latto Hacked

Latto appeared on 2 Chainz and his son Halo’s podcast, where the little one asked a pretty out-of-pocket question. “Um, is it true you got beef with Ice Spice?” “Oh my God, here we go,” the 25-year-old responded. “Halo, what in the world?!” his father asked comically. “Let me tell you something, Halo,” she elaborated. “I don’t got a problem with nobody ’cause beef is a different thing, you feel me? That’s a whole different type of conversation. I ain’t got no beef with nobody, I don’t got a problem with nobody for real. *laughs* I ain’t got no problem with nobody for real, for real, it ain’t like that.”

Meanwhile, even though Sugar Honey Iced Tea‘s commercial performance wasn’t the best, it’s still getting plenty of spins from fans. It’s momentum that Latto will likely maintain as the year closes out, whether she faces another hack or not. Let’s just hope that some password, IP, and VPN solutions are in the words for her and her team. And that whatever toxic relationship in the background of all this clears up.

Lil Yachty Fan Screams “F**k KARRAHBOOO” During Moment Of Silence For Juice WRLD

by

At a recent show, Lil Yachty asked the crowd to spend a moment in silence to honor Juice WRLD’s memory. Most people in the crowd followed suit and paid their respects, although there were some rowdy folks that started to yell stuff out. Moreover, one of these exclamations even made him laugh before getting into his next song. “F**k KARRAHBOOO!” someone shouted, which made both the crowd and the Atlanta artist crack up. His reaction indicates that he’s still got some hard feelings for the former Concrete Boys affiliate… Or, alternatively, that he’s possibly laughing at this beef not being as deep as fans think behind the scenes.

But sadly, the very nasty and combative interactions between Lil Yachty and KARRAHBOOO suggest that the former option is the more likely one. For those unaware, the two started to clash about a month after news broke that she left the group. They accused each other of toxic behavior, with Yachty also claiming that he wrote the large majority of her material. As for KARRAH, she also hinted at there being some skeletons in his closet that relate to darker industry secrets. Of course, this is all mostly hearsay, so take it with a grain of salt.

Lil Yachty’s Moment Of Silence Interrupted By KARRAHBOOO Diss

They’ve kept throwing some shots back and forth at each other online, but things have mostly quieted down since a bit over a week ago. In fact, ironically enough, one of the last updates we got to this whole saga is that KARRAHBOOO sent shade Lil Yachty’s way during one of her recent concerts. She repeated the phrase “Who ain’t write it?” during one of her songs, addressing his ghostwriting allegations. Again, we doubt that these two will reconcile in the near future, although we can’t act too surprised if this was all for show.

Hopefully we’re wrong, and they realize that they can focus on their own endeavors without having to beef with each other. But with these other public interactions or statements in mind, an escalation isn’t out of the picture either. At least Lil Yachty and KARRAHBOOO don’t have much other beef beyond what’s happening with Concrete Boys. People thought Big Sean sent some shots, but that was a false alarm.

Soulja Boy Puts Blueface On Blast During Rant About “Broke” Haters

by

Soulja Boy and Blueface have a history of not getting along, and despite the latter’s ongoing legal issues, their feud doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Earlier this week, Blueface went viral after he was transferred to a different facility to serve his four-year prison sentence. A new mugshot was taken upon arrival, which quickly began to make its rounds online. Fans pointed out a pretty drastic physical transformation, which is to be expected considering the circumstances.

During a recent Instagram Live, Soulja Boy compared his haters to Blueface, arguing that he’s still successful while they all fell off. “Y’all ni**as are on a rich ni**a’s live,” he began. “Y’all broke. Go get a f**kin’ life, why y’all watching me?“

“Why you in my life right now? You ain’t got nothing better to do?” he also asked. “Go get a f**kin’ life man… Y’all ni**as gon’ end up broke and in jail just like Blueface, b**ch a*s ni**as. Y’all think life a game. Life is jokes and life is sweet.” It remains unclear exactly why Blueface was the first person to come to Soulja Boy’s mind during his rant. The “Thotiana” rapper has yet to respond.

While Blueface’s legal issues persist, the same can’t be said for the mother of his son, Chrisean Rock. She was released from prison after roughly three months behind bars earlier this week. Almost immediately, she took to social media to share a lengthy message about her return, and about reuniting with her child Chrisean Jr. According to her, she’ll be focusing on him moving forward, as well as some exciting new projects she has in the works. What do you think of Soulja Boy calling out Blueface during his recent rant on Instagram Live? Are you surprised or not? Do you think he’ll ever get a response? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Azealia Banks Goes After Beyonce Yet Again For Her “Ghetto” Whiskey Brand

by

Azealia Banks is not the biggest Beyonce fan in the world, something that you’ve seen countless times thanks to countless rants. Moreover, the last time that the former dragged the latter online was through accusations of a “smear campaign” on Bey and Jay-Z’s behalf for Banks’ criticism of her new country era. Now, the New York femcee is instead going after something a little bit more light but still very, very personal to the Texas superstar. This new subject of hate is her new whiskey brand SirDavis. It’s named after Bey’s great-grandfather Davis Hogue, who was a Southern farmer and moonshiner during the Prohibition era.

“I’m sorry Beyonce I love you down,” Azealia Banks began her Twitter rant on Thursday night (September 5). “But ‘SIRDAVIS‘ is a horrible name for a luxury spirits brand. Its so ghetto. Its giving 1980’s hood francophile ‘Latoya, Shaniqua’ teas. Change the name to ‘Renaissance.’ That’s actually a marketing slay. Renaissance whisky gives me classy successful handsome older black man with the good cologne & the good teeth/ spent $500,000 buying out some superbowl box seats / expensive legacy d**k. ‘Sir Davis’ is giving southern comfort/ e&J with some matted dreads and dry knuckles.”

All in all, not the worst or meanest rant in this saga, but certainly not the most earned or understandable, either. To be fair, maybe we’re just in the wrong for not looking into liquor branding with the same level of attention to detail. Elsewhere, Azealia Banks threw her hat into the Ice Spice/Cleotrapa drama ring by expressing solidarity with the latter. “I don’t like how everyone is trying to make cleotrapa look,” she tweeted.

“Any f***ing who @iamcleotrapa will be performing with me on Halloween Oct 31. at @Terminal5NYC,” Azealia Banks continued. “She will – be paid, have her own space to glam, whatever she wants on her rider.. because i have f***ing respect & class… Period. End Of Discussion. She can have 50 different styles of chicken salads. It’s whatever she desires.” For those unaware, Cleotrapa accused Ice Spice of treating her horribly during their ongoing tour. We’ll see what the next rant is about.

OVO Chubbs Likes IG Post Mocking ASAP Rocky’s New Drake Diss

by

OVO Chubbs has been riding with Drake for a decade. He’s appeared in videos and been spotted at parties with the Toronto superstar. He was even referenced by Kendrick Lamar on “Not Like Us.” The longtime OVO member has remained loyal to Drake, though, as evidenced by his recent social media activity. OVO Chubbs decided to like an Instagram post that poked fun at ASAP Rocky’s new single, “Ruby Rosary.” The single includes bars aimed at Drake, and like most people, Chubbs was not very impressed with what he heard.

@Keep6Solid made the initial IG post. It’s a pro-Drake account, as evidenced by the 6, and proceeded to lay into ASAP Rocky. The headline for the post made fun of both Rocky’s looks and his relationship with his more famous partner, Rihanna. The headline described the ASAP star as a “Metrosexual rapper and full-time kept man.” It also poked fun at J Cole, who was previously on Drake’s side before switching up. Cole contributed a verse to “Ruby Rosary,” confirming that he’s anti Aubrey moving forward. “J Cole is a slimeball,” the caption read. OVO Chubbs was seemingly onboard with both of these sentiments. He liked the post from his personal account.

OVO Chubbs’ IG Like Also Takes Shots At J Cole

ASAP Rocky’s bars are, admittedly, pretty weak. “Ruby Rosary” is a good song overall, and Cole skates, but Rocky stumbles when it comes to dissing Drizzy. Cut the sh*t, cut the lies, word to the wise,” he raps. “Who in your top five? Haha (F*ck your top five).” It’s clearly in reference to Drake, who has several top 5 bars under his belt. That said, nothing is really being said. It doesn’t get much better when ASAP Rocky tries to riff on Drake’s “Family Matters” and his “Buried Alive” interlude from 2011.

“I don’t get fresh step, b*tch, I’m buried alive,” Rocky raps. “I heard dawg talkin’ funny, like it’s Family Guy. Carin’ for n**gas like I’m Mary or Bob.” More nothing. It’s telling that Drake has become the loser of the 2024 rap beef when it comes to Kendrick Lamar. When it comes to ASAP Rocky, though, everyone agrees that Drizzy got the best of him each time out. OVO Chubbs didn’t go out of his way to bash his Harlem competitor, but his like made it clear that Rocky fell short.

Charlamagne Tha God Doesn’t Believe That ASAP Rocky Dissed Drake On J Cole Collab

by

We can all agree that 2024’s great rap war has made us all read a little too deeply into lyrics sometimes. We just got a key example of that thanks to ASAP Rocky and J Cole’s new collab “Ruby Rosary.” Thanks to some possibly slick lyrical references from the Harlem creative and the complex role that the Dreamville boss has played in hip-hop’s ecosystem for the past year or so, many fans think that this is a not-so-subtle diss at Drake. But Charlamagne Tha God and the rest of The Breakfast Club think that this is a bit of a reach.

“J. Cole better not be dissing nobody,” Charlamagne Tha God began when the crew proposed that there might be a shot on the new song. “Oh, okay, okay, okay.” “How is that a Drake diss?” he asked when one of TBC‘s cohosts recited the lyrics that many fans are bringing up. “Oh… I mean, it sounds like he’s dissing a whole top five if he says ‘F your top five.’ I don’t know either, I think y’all just be making up stuff. *laughs* Here’s the thing. When I say it’s ‘this generation,’ I’m not just talking about y’all. It’s just the whole cycle of people. Like, the way people’s minds work is just weird. He said, ‘F your top five.’ So your top five must be Drake, Drake, Drake, Drake, and Drake.”

The Breakfast Club Speaks On ASAP Rocky, J Cole & Potential Drake Disses

But do you know what’s really funny about Charlamagne’s dismissal? There is someone whose top five is all Drake, and if you don’t know what we’re talking about, just look up “DJ Akademiks Drake Top Five” on YouTube for a laugh. Along with some other references like bars about “push ups,” A$AP Rocky fans aren’t all too misguided in drawing these connections. But the real likely scenarios are that this was all unintentional and that, even if they are references, they don’t amount to enough of a sting for this to really be an inflammatory moment. If anything, according to OVO fans, J. Cole is the one who should really be answering questions here.

Also, we already know that A$AP Rocky and Drake have beef, so them throwing possible subliminals at each other is practically worthless. The only people getting value from it are true haters of either lyricist. But we can’t pretend that all the speculation and discussion isn’t at least entertaining. After all, that reality is what allowed the biggest rap battle in at least two decades to materialize.

Tesehki Knocks Diamond The Body’s Tooth Out At “Baddies” Reunion

by

Tesehki is certainly no stranger to throwing hands, and it looks like that’s exactly what happened at the Baddies Caribbean reunion last night. Today, the personality took to social media to announce that she got into a physical altercation with Diamond The Body. While it remains unclear exactly what led up to the altercation, Diamond has been taunting Tesehki on social media for weeks. Recently, she even urged Tesehki to fight for her sister’s son, Chrisean Jr.

Clearly, Tesehki didn’t appreciate this at all, and ultimately decided to address it at the reunion. In photos shared on Diamond’s Instagram Story earlier today, she’s seen with a bloody lip and a missing tooth. “I lost guys REAL BAD !! Sorry,” she wrote. “She really broke my face yall my lip is tore open and my tooth missin pray for me.”

Tesehki Reveals She Got Into Physical Altercation With Diamond The Body

While this is obviously very concerning, Diamond appears to be approaching the situation with a sense of humor. Today, she shared various clips and photos of her injuries from the hospital. “Now I’m looking like her sister,” she wrote alongside a laughing emoji. She also assured fans that she’s doing okay now, and only has to worry about replacing her missing tooth. “I’m good guys I promise,” she explained. “I just left the hospital got a couple stitches nothings broke but I do need a new tooth.”

Diamond even plans to perform tonight in Virginia despite her injuries. Fans hope that she has a speedy recovery, and sorts out her issues with Tesehki sooner rather than later.

Rick Ross Taunts 50 Cent’s Celibacy Remarks With Petty Joke

by

At the start of 2024, 50 Cent and Cuban Link’s relationship seemed to come to a close. The rapper and TV star shared a motivating and pretty revealing post to his Instagram that further confirmed this speculation. “My new idea is so big, I don’t have time to be distracted I’m practicing abstinence, I have been meditating and focusing on my goals. I hope this New Year helps you excel to the next level”. Furthermore, we noticed that there was a shortage of pictures of Fif and Cuban on his social media.

Lastly, we got even more information just yesterday after a clip from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert began to make the rounds. In the interview snippet, Colbert questioned him about his celibacy journey and if that was actually true. Numerous times, 50 Cent said yes, and he’s said that it’s been helping him quite a bit. “When you calm down, you can focus… “It’s been good, I’ve been good to me”.

Of course, though, you know Rick Ross couldn’t not help himself. If there is anything posted about one of his many foes, he’s going to be on top of it. In this instance, he posted in the comments of the clip above with a petty Cuban Link dig. “Cuban Link 💔”, according to AllHipHop. Not surprisingly, this isn’t the first time that Rozay has joked about Fif’s breakup wtih Cuban Link. When video footage of her and Travis Scott made the rounds on the internet, the MMG boss was right there with quick wit. “Many men, many many many many men -50 Cent”. He also added, “”No Louis Vuittons today, no no no. We wearing Travis Scotts all week”.

What are your thoughts on Rick Ross making fun of 50 Cent’s celibacy claims? Do you think he’s being disrespectful or is it funny in your opinion? Will the G-Unit boss respond? 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 Rick Ross and 50 Cent. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
