Wack 100 Trolls Meek Mill With Clip Of Diddy Calling Him “Daddy”

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this weekend, Meek Mill took to X to call out Wack 100, accusing him of not being who he says he is. The rapper shared a clip of a man insisting that Wack isn’t a “real Piru” despite his claims. “Never been to a support the hood day… Nobody can verify where you came from … Talking a lot on clubhouse.. yeah he in a program forsure for sure!” Meek wrote. “Online with with fake extortion stories speaking on killing a famous person lol.”

From there, Meek shared a clip of Wack 100 and Luce Cannon on No Jumper, suggesting that they weren’t telling the truth. While it remains unclear exactly why Meek Mill decided to call Wack out like this, he wasted no time firing back.

Today, Wack took to Instagram to share a clip of Diddy approaching Meek Mill in a pool and calling him “Daddy.” His post also featured shocking audio rumored to feature both of them, though this is unconfirmed. “@meekmill please explain Guess this was ya hood day #Diddy get ya mans,” he captioned the post. Of course, Wack has been trolling Meek since fans began to speculate that he’s named in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy. In the suit, Lil Rod alleges that Diddy had a sexual relationship with a “Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj.”

Meek Mill denies this, and got into it with DJ Akademiks back in February for perpetuating these rumors. Wack sided with Ak, and went off on Meek for claiming the governor convinced him to delete some of his posts about the personality. “Man look kill the selective politics . @meekmill just say your a reformed civilian and keep all the STREET GANGSTA TOUGH SH!T OUT YA MOUTH,” he wrote at the time. What do you think of Meek Mill calling out Wack 100? What about Wack’s response? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

DJ Hed Praises Drake And Shocks Kendrick Lamar Fans & Haters In The Process

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Hed might’ve played at “The Pop Out,” thus picking a firm side in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, but he doesn’t only have negative things to say about the Toronto superstar. Moreover, he recently gave him some due flowers on HipHopDX‘s The Bigger Picture podcast with Elliott Wilson. As you can see in the clip below, the @djakademikstv caption for this clip is a pretty pro-Drizzy and anti-K.Dot one, which makes sense given Akademiks’ current beef with Hed. Nevertheless, the California native thinks that The Boy does deserve a lot of credit for his hip-hop contributions, despite the picture that Kendrick painted in his diss tracks.

“You know what?” DJ Hed’s remarks began on The Bigger Picture. “Thank you. Thank you, Drake, [for] what you’ve done to the ecosystem. We appreciate you. No, I’m not even throwing shade. Drake has done more for hip-hop than a lot of people give him credit for. ‘Cause he’s actively participated in the culture the whole time. There’s credit to be owed for that, you know what I’m saying? He also used his platform to benefit others outside of himself,” he concluded, with Jeremy Hecht asserting that “he has a family tree.”

This seems to be what Drake himself is trying to prove through his “100 GIGS” content drops, showing off his connection to the rap game over the past decade-plus. His combative new material hints at him wanting a “Game 2” with Kendrick Lamar, although we don’t know exactly what this “game” will look like. Will they have a sales battle for their next albums, or will it be another lyrical back-and-forth? Will they actually go at each other again or does Aubrey want to focus on winning “the long game” by staying as the top dog in the industry?

These are all big questions, and ones that DJ Hed himself doesn’t want to answer just yet. Furthermore, the whole reason why he clashed with DJ Akademiks is because he shut down Ak’s report that Kendrick Lamar will drop again soon. No matter what he or Drake choose to do next, it’s clear that this conversation is much less black-and-white than what many fans assume.

Kendrick Lamar Scores Yet Another “Not Like Us” Milestone As Drake Tries To “Win Game 2”

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” continues to keep up some momentum, even if many Drake fans and some haters alike are already tired of it. Moreover, it’s now officially eligible for five-times Platinum certification, as it has now sold over 5 million units in the United States alone. This is very impressive considering that the song has only been out for almost four months, but not surprising at all when you consider the massive impact of the Drake battle. Pretty much everyone agrees that, for better or worse, it was the song of the summer. And it will probably continue to shine throughout the rest of 2024.

Furthermore, this is partly due to the fact that Drake wants to “win Game 2,” as he stated on his IG burner account. We still don’t know if this actually means a full second battle with Kendrick Lamar, as his lyrical material as of late definitely references his various beefs this year. The more likely scenario is that the 6ix God will target his other opponents and try to win “the long game” with continued commercial and critical success.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Sells Over 5 Million Units

Nevertheless, we doubt that Kendrick Lamar will stay quiet for long, despite DJ Hed pushing back on new album speculation. Maybe it’s not a full-on project, but we can’t imagine that he won’t follow up this material with something big either this year or the next. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking, but considering the success of “Not Like Us,” it sounds like more of just a no-brainer business move. Yet K.Dot’s never been one to overtly succumb to commercial pressures, or to release music just for the sake of it.

As such, we have to be patient and see what he planned for his next move, as well as whether or not he will revisit Drake. Elsewhere, Kendrick Lamar also got some unrelated commercial achievements under his belt this year, such as the Diamond certification of “goosebumps” with Travis Scott. But no matter what goes down with this beef in the near future, the status of “Not Like Us” is one that fans can’t deny.

Azealia Banks Randomly Eviscerates JT Over Her Music & Fashion

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you’re a big enough celebrity, then it’s almost guaranteed that Azealia Banks will either praise you or – as happens most often – drag you online. Moreover, she often goes on unprovoked rants about many superstars, which is completely fair and understandable when it’s just her unfiltered opinion. But the rapper can also puzzle her fans with her targets, and all this animosity for no reason hasn’t nurtured the healthiest online presence. Nevertheless, her latest target is JT, who faced a scathing rant from Banks on Twitter this week after she came across the Florida native’s remarks on Foxy Brown and her presence in fashion.

“[A TikTok about me] said, ‘We haven’t had a dark-skinned girl killing it in fashion since Foxy Brown,’” JT recalled during a recent interview with Essence. “It gave me the chills. It makes so much sense. It’s no shade to nobody else.” “JT… sis, you’re absolutely not killing it in fashion or music nor was foxy ever killing it in fashion,” Azealia Banks reacted. “Lil Kim is the alpha and the omega. And This boob job is the most unfashionable thing ever. Its f***ing horrible please undo it.

Azealia Banks’ Rant Against JT

“Plus quit with the dark skin s**t,” Azealia Banks went on concerning the former City Girl. “Like what the hell does that even mean anymore. Just because some gays are taking ur money to put you in neon green lipstick and blonde wigs doesn’t mean youre fashionable sis. the real fashion girls actually don’t see it for you, like at all. They think you look ‘heavy.’ Lol.” Perhaps we will never know if something else provoked this rant behind the scenes, but the most likely scenario is that she just woke up on the combative side of the bed and JT happened to be the target this time around.

Meanwhile, Azealia Banks doesn’t always just bash other celebrities. She also gives out her own stamp of approval, as she recently did by making her own remix of Tinashe’s “Nasty.” Sometimes this homage can come across as backhanded, but we can’t always assume that someone is hating. Hopefully we get more examples of admirable tributes instead of unprompted attacks.

Nicki Minaj Reignites Travis Scott Feud By Promoting Sabrina Carpenter’s Album

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott is a master at the album bundle. It propelled his 2018 album Astroworld to the top of the Billboard 200. He’s on pace to do it again with the streaming release of his 2014 mixtape Days Before Rodeo. The Houston rapper is pulling out all the stops when it comes to different album packages. He has different versions with different bonus tracks. He has a live version titled Live from Atlanta, and a chopped and screwed version. Nicki Minaj was the artist who got beat out by Astroworld in 2018, and she’s doing her best to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Sabrina Carpenter dropped her album Short N Sweet the same day as Days Before Rodeo. She is the main competition for Scott when it comes to topping the Billboard 200. Carpenter saw the parallels with her situation and Minaj’s in 2018, and decided to highlight it. “This is for Nicki,” she tweeted on August 29. The gesture did not go unnoticed by the the rapper, who returned the love during an Instagram Live. Nicki Minaj shouted Sabrina Carpenter out, and urged fans to go and buy her album. “Shout out Sabrina Carpenter, shout out all the Sabrina Carpenter fans,” Minaj stated. It’s a much more measured response than the one she gave in 2018.

Nicki Minaj infamously popped off during an episode of her Queen Radio show. She insulted Travis Scott for using bundles to boost his sales, and felt that her album should have been number one. “What we’re not gonna do is have that Auto-Tune man selling f*cking sweaters,” she said. “Telling you he sold half a million albums, because he f*cking didn’t.” Minaj also called out Spotify and the mother of Scott’s child, Kylie Jenner, for using their platforms to inflate Astroworld sales even further.

The plot thickened after Nicki Minaj showed love to the “Espresso” singer, though. Kanye West decided to enter the chat. West, who has been on bad terms with Minaj as of late, decided to repost a version of Scott’s album on his Instagram Story. Kanye West has a propensity for joining conflicts he has nothing to do with (just ask Kendrick Lamar), and he appears to have struck again. It’ll be fascinating to see if more artists pick sides in the unfolding Travis Scott vs. Sabrina Carpenter sales competition.

The Game Shuts Down Rumors That He’s Beefing With YG And Mustard

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Game loves him a good beef. Hell, he’ll take a bad beef. He spent a couple weeks trying to bait Rick Ross with a diss track, but both parties eventually admitted there was no smoke to the fire. Compton’s own has had bigger fish to fry, anyway. While the West Coast rallied around Kendrick Lamar during the Drake battle, The Game took a more diplomatic stance. Fans accused him of caping for Drake, and he was nowhere to be found when Lamar, YG and Mustard were dancing around at the Pop Out concert. That said, The Game has cleared the air regarding his relationship with his West Coast brothers.

To be fair to YG and Mustard, The Game inadvertently started the beef rumors. He got on Instagram on August 28 and started making cryptic statements about artists he didn’t like. “Rooting for somebody & finding out they secretly hate u is so crazy,” he wrote on his Stories. “Secret haters are clutch.. yall make ballin in yo face worth it.” In the post before, The Game called out YG and Mustard by their birth names, and claimed to be looking for them. “Aye Keenon & Dijon… Jayceon looking for y’all,” he added. “Ghetto name havin n**gas.” It wasn’t a stretch to assume Game was calling the rapper and producer his “secret haters.”

It’s hard to imagine The Game misreading the situation, but he did clarify that everything was cool. He sent a follow up message after the comment section started buzzing about beef. He even used official artist names this time. “@yg & @mustard My n**gas 5L,” he wrote. “Go twist a backwood before you twist that #Bompton.” There’s evidence to suggest that everything between The Game and the other artists are cool. The Game did recently participate in YG’s peace walk earlier this month. The two also have tons of songs together, with the most recent being 2022’s “Outside.”

Game’s relationship with Mustard is less defined. They have definitely taken different approaches when it comes to Kendrick Lamar’s battle with Drake. Mustard has cut off all ties with the Toronto superstar. He said he would never work with him again. The Game, meanwhile, went on IG Live and dubbed Drake one of the best to ever pick up a microphone. Game drama shouldn’t be high on the importance list for either YG or Mustard, though. Both artists have struggled mightily with their recent albums. Some have even blamed Kendrick Lamar for their inability to move units. Learn more below.

DJ Akademiks Explains Why Drake Will “Win Game 2” Against Kendrick Lamar & Company

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As if folks didn’t get enough this year, hip-hop culture entertains a very interesting possibility these days: will Drake “win Game 2” as he proclaimed in an Instagram Story? Many folks feel like the series against Kendrick Lamar and company already ended, especially as the Compton lyricist and his camp reportedly have no interest in revisiting their victory. But OVO fans staunchly maintain that their fav will emerge victorious in the end, whether by literally changing the outcome of the battle or flaunting his success in spite of his loss. It’s unclear what possibility DJ Akademiks believes in, but as he showed during his recent livestream, he’s still ten toes down for The Boy.

“But Game 2, we will win,” DJ Akademiks expressed. “Game 2, we will win. That’s a fact. If you think Drake finna abandon and forsake all them fans, you got to realize, this for the fans right here. You think he gon’ let some p***y a** n***as have something over him, his legacy, and his fans? No! Aye, chat, f**k that. This the new thing: Drake in five. Drake in five, people, Drake in five. Remember I told you that.

DJ Akademiks Thinks Drake Will Win In The End

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

“Drake. In five,” DJ Akademiks emphasized. “Drake in five. No, no, no, no, we ain’t doing six. Five. What’s understood don’t need to be explained. Y’all are going to watch it. Listen, listen, we got to see where the game starts. We got to see, bro. Just watch Game 2, bro. Just watch Game 2. We ain’t got to tell you the game plan. This ain’t Steve Kerr, n***a. F**k you think, we Gregg Popovich?” Again, what little rumblings we’ve heard on Kendrick Lamar’s end point to this being a one-sided effort.

Meanwhile, all this speculation from DJ Akademiks and others is irrelevant until we really know what “Game 2” means. Is it literally a second round of the Kendrick Lamar battle, will Drake focus on his other opponents, or does “winning Game 2” instead mean just being the biggest rapper of them all? No one really believed that he would lose that status immediately, right? Regardless, we’ll have to patiently wait until we actually have a concrete idea of this epilogue.

Drake Playfully Cites Joe Budden And Duke Dennis As His Selfie “Influences”

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s selfie face has become a renewable source of comedy for fans and haters alike. Everybody has seen a Drake photo and thought, “he’s doing too much.” The rapper knows this, and he decided to have some fun with his selfie reputation on Wednesday night. Drizzy hopped on his main Instagram profile for the first time in over a week to post some new selfies. What looked like a typical photo drop, though, was actually a means of poking fun at the men who “influenced” his style.

The first photo sees Drake doing another dramatic selfie face in a mirror. The second, though, is of Duke Dennis. Yes, the gaming YouTuber. The third photo is of Joe Budden. Yes, the rapper-turned-podcaster who has been beefing with Drake for the better part of a decade and a half. Drizzy made sure to choose photos in which Dennis and Budden are giving the camera their most “seductive” face. The photos are made all the more hilarious by the fact that Drake follows them up with two photos of himself looking, well, ridiculous with similar facial expression.

Drake Made Fun Of His Own Mirror Selfies

The caption that the 6 God attaches to these photos says it all. “I’m not aware of my picture or mirror face,” he writes. “It’s a curse from birth and I’m influenced by what I see.” It’s safe to say that nobody was expecting Drake to post photos of Duke Dennis and Joe Budden of all people. Not really the guys who come to mind when thinking of the rapper’s influences (Budden musically, but still). Duke Dennis has reacted to a lot of Drake songs, like most YouTubers, but the two have never publicly interacted. It just goes to show that the 6 God really likes to spend time online when he’s not recording or dropping 100 Gigs on our headtops.

Drake’s decision to post Joe Budden is intriguing, given the podcaster’s recent comments. The two men have never seen eye to eye, but Budden praised Drake during a recent pod. He felt like Drake was doing a good job of recovering after losing the Kendrick Lamar battle. He went as far as to say that he liked the last batch of songs Drizzy dropped on his 100 Gigs site. Drake has been charitable with another former enemy, Kanye West, by giving him a recent Instagram follow. Maybe the same thing is happening with Budden. It’s probably just a troll, though.

DJ Akademiks Gets Obliterated By YouTuber Over Culture Vulture Claims

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This all started over a rapper’s death. Ybc Dul aka Mr. Disrespectful was killed on August 26, and a YouTuber named Brandon Buckingham posted an interview with the rapper a day before. DJ Akademiks reacted to said interview, and did not like what he saw. He went on Twitch and accused Buckingham of exploiting Ybc Dul’s death for views. He dubbed Buckingham a “white boy voyeuristic” type, and went on to name other white YouTubers who actually “care about the culture.” Buckingham saw these comments, and proceeded to blow up on DJ Akademiks.

Brandon Buckingham posted a statement to his Twitter account. It’s not delicately worded. He proceeds to insult DJ Akademiks in the first sentence, calling him a “fat drunk p**sy.” He also defended his passion for hip hop as a culture. “Akademiks is really a fat drunk p**sy for running right to his little stream after Dul died to say I’m not for the culture,” Buckingham wrote. Buckingham them aimed criticisms back at Akademiks. “His woman beating bald head a*s sits on a computer all day and is afraid to go any hood anywhere.”

Brandon Buckingham Crashes Out On DJ Akademiks

Brandon Buckingham then flipped DJ Akademiks’ point of reference. Instead of comparing himself to other white YouTubers, he compared himself favorably to Ak. With disrespect, of course. “Stay inside and keep talking sh*t from the comfort of your home,” Buckingham added. “We are both civilians and I have ten times the heart as your b*tch a*s.” The irony, of course, is that DJ Akademiks has been accused of the very same thing he accused Buckingham of. The internet personality has been criticized for using violence and the deaths of rappers to bolster his own fame.

In 2022, music video director Spike Tarantino called out DJ Akademiks for his coverage of Kay Flock’s murder. He claimed Ak did little to cover the rapper during his lifetime, but proceeded to act like he was an expect after Flock was killed. Akademiks has also been saddled with legal troubles in recent months. The DJ was sued for rape and defamation in April. Fauziya Abashe claims that was taken advantage of multiple times at Akademiks’ home. The internet personality denies the allegations.

MGK Bashes Sean Strickland During Podcast And The UFC Star Claps Back

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

MGK likes to pick fights. He’s been a confrontational artist since day one, and the biggest moment of his career, the Eminem beef, stemmed from this quality. It should come as no surprise, then, that MGK had a lot to say about UFC star Sean Strickland. He went off during when asked about Strickland during a stint on the Impaulsive podcast. He not only claimed that Strickland was too insecure to be himself, but was a bad person behind closed doors. The UFC fighter eventually clapped back.

MGK really had knives out for Sean Strickland. Impaulsive host Logan Paul seemed genuinely surprised by how much the rapper hated the former middleweight champion. “I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread,” MGK stated. “Didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterward that he’s insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy, so I would have never wanted to shake his hand in the first place.” It got more intense from there. He proceeded to address Sean Strickland directly, and told him to “shut the f*ck up.” MGK also called him a “f*cking idiot” for good measure.

MGK And Strickland Have Been Beefing Since February

Getting lectured by a guy who drinks blood and wears a purse.. Dawg you had a mid life crisis and tattooed your entire body. The “the x community of intolerance” yall I’d hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this cunt… Go back to cutting yourself you fucking weirdo https://t.co/4CY2L7gypT

— Sean Strickland (@SStricklandMMA) August 27, 2024

Strickland did not like what he heard (obviously). He took to Twitter a day after the MGK interview dropped, and fired back with a few insults of his own. The UFC star clowned the rapper of having an identity crisis despite being in his mid-30s. “Dawg you had a mid life crisis and tattooed your entire body,” he asserted. The language and the overall vitriol gets turned up as the tweet goes on. “The the [sic] ‘x community of intolerance’ yall,” Strickland added. “I’d hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this c**t.”

Sean Strickland ended his message by telling MGK to “go back to cutting” himself. He also threw in a “f*cking weirdo” for good measure. When someone calls you a “f*cking idiot,” a rebuttal seems pretty fair. For context, MGK and Sean Strickland first crossed paths in February. Both celebrities were at the Power Slam event, and their disdain for each was apparently on sight. An altercation between MGK and Strickland broke out. The latter took to Twitter afterwards and claimed that he “almost hit a vampire.” It doesn’t sound like these two are going to make up anytime soon.
