GloRilla & Her Team Under Fire For Alleged Shady Business Deals

by

GloRilla was undeniably one of the hottest breakthrough stars of the year in 2022. This is thanks to a couple of viral hits, including “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” and “Tomorrow 2” with Cardi B.

These songs, along with her charisma and commanding presence on the mic, have helped to turn her into one of the most promising acts in the game.

However, some business owners are calling out the Memphis native and members of her team for allegedly scamming their brands. A video report about the allegations is now on The Shade Room‘s Instagram account.

Specifically, the owner of a small hair and body care business, Kimberley Renfroe, says she paid $1,000 to a man claiming to be GloRilla’s manager. The payment was supposed to be for an endorsement deal in which the 23-year-old rapper would promote some of her business’ products. Once the man received the payment, he subsequently asked for more cash and then ultimately ghosted Renfroe.

A choreographer claims she had a similar experience. She says the Memphis native and her team are responsible for reaching out to her for a five-hour dance lesson for $1,500. Once the class allegedly happened, she says she never got her money.

However, the “Blessed” rapper claims that these are cases of scammers pretending to be members of her team.

“I was made aware that an individual has been impersonating members of my team and deceiving people for money as part of a scam. I’m looking into the issue, but I’d like to encourage all my fans and supporters to be very careful with how they communicate with online strangers. It’s important to do research and take the appropriate steps to prevent yourselves from being victimized by cybercriminals posing as celebrity teams,” she says in a statement to FOX13 Memphis.

Of course, this story arrives shortly after the Memphis native made headlines for seeking a personal assistant. She was offering $550 per week for the position.

In other news surrounding the 23-year-old, an old video of her recently began surfacing online. In the footage before the fame, she confesses her love for Chief Keef. A picture of the “Love Sosa” rapper appears in the background while the Memphis native lip-syncs to pre-recorded audio.

“This is your man? the audio asks. “Yeah,” she promptly pretends to reply. After the audio states to “look at the screen,” she does so with admiration and says, “That’s mine.”

Quentin Miller Suggests Nicki Minaj Gassed Up Meek Mill To Attack Him

by

Quentin Miller’s sharing some revealing details about an infamous era of his career. Yesterday, we reported on the rapper/songwriting detailing his publishing deal and why he didn’t get publishing payments for his work with Drake. However, he went even more in-depth about the feud with Meek Mill in a new portion of the interview. This time, he discussed rumors of Nicki Minaj’s role in his attack.

During the interview, Quentin Miller began by explaining that he felt like he was the Beanie Sigel to OVO. “I wasn’t riding like Beanie Sigel, obviously, but I definitely — I was OVO first,” he explained. “Like, in any situation, I was riding. Even down to me putting the letter out there.”

QM said that he tried to downplay his involvement in the ghostwriting scandal to protect Drake, only to have the label’s true intentions surface. “The whole time was, ‘Okay, get him to clean it up and then, fuck that guy,’” he said. “That seemed like how it felt.”

From there, Quentin detailed how his altercation with Meek Mill panned out. While rumors have swirled around regarding Nicki Minaj’s alleged involvement, Quentin Miller believes that there’s some truth behind it.

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, man,” he told DJ Vlad, who inquired about Nicki Minaj “escalating” the situation.

Nicki’s accused of gassing up Meek Mill following the Nike store confrontation. Vlad said that she’s rumored to have told Meek Mill to go fight Quentin Miller after the Philly rapper returned to the car.

“There’s no way you could be hearing shit, I’m hearing shit, Drama’s alluding to shit… And again, this is coming from a Nicki Minaj fan,” he said.

“If that’s true, ’cause it’s still alleged and I can’t put that jacket on there, you know? But, if it is true, damn, man. That’s all I could say,” he said.

Bobby Shmurda Reacts To Being Mentioned In Uncle Murda’s “Rap Up 2022”

by

2022 came to a close rather quickly. We’re already four days into 2023 and are patiently awaiting some highly-anticipated music releases this year.

However, 2022 didn’t end without a bombshell from Uncle Murda. Sticking to tradition, the New York rapper dropped off his annual “Rap Up” song on New Year’s Eve.

Sprawling across the track’s 15-minute runtime, the 42-year-old doesn’t hold back when addressing the various events that transpired over the course of the past 12 months in both hip-hop and pop culture.

One of the many artists he mentions is Bobby Shmurda. Namely, he addresses the beef between the “Hot N*gga” rapper and NBA YoungBoy earlier last year.

“NBA Youngboy had Rich The Kid shook / Over a little picture with Lil Durk that he took / Hope he know Bobby Shmurda and Rich The Kid different / Bobby will really boom you, n*gga, watch who you mention,” he raps within the first verse.

The Past Beef

It all began in November when Rowdy Rebel decided to speak out against the tragic murder of King Von. Specifically, he shares his thoughts on Lul Tum, the alleged killer and affiliate of both Quando Rondo and YoungBoy. “When King Von died, that Lul Tim n*gga, he didn’t have to get out of the car and start squeezing right away. You already got yours drawn,” says the “Computers” rapper.

“His mind off the rip went to kill. How you went to kill? How much hate you have already to kill this man?” he questions afterwards.

The Baton Rouge native subsequently replied in an Instagram Story. “I see why n*ggas irrelevant today “Be trying to make all the sense thinking what they saying real but sounding stupid asf[.]” Just mind yo businesses And stop the violence,” he says, before signing off as “Quando[‘s] big brother.”

The “Hot N*gga” rapper later shared his own two cents, seemingly dissing YoungBoy and Rondo in the process.

“Stop telling me about your brother’s shooters and your brother’s this – what the f*ck do you do? Huh? When are you finally gonna do something?” he questions.

Shmurda’s Reaction

Regardless of the past beef, Shmurda has since shared his thoughts on being mentioned in Murda’s year-end song. Evidently, he finds it humorous and simultaneously insists he’s a changed man. In an Instagram Live video, he reacts to hearing Murda dropping his name in the track for the first time. “Murda, I’m a changed man. I’m a changed man. I’m different, man. I’m tryna change, Murda. I ain’t tryna boom nobody no more,’ he pleads during the video.

Report: Tasha K Demands A New Trial In Cardi B’s Defamation Lawsuit

by

Cardi B is supposed to be receiving a large payment from Tasha K. In October, a judge ordered the blogger to fork out a payment of $3.8 million to the “Hot Sh*t” rapper. This came as a result of Cardi’s defamation lawsuit that she filed against the YouTuber.

A few years ago, Tasha made comments about the 30-year-old’s sexual health on her YouTube show, Unwine With Tasha K. Her statements include stating that the Washington Heights native had an STD, previously used hard drugs and worked as an escort.

When the mother of two decided to take her to court for defamation, she also denied these allegations. She claims that the alleged lies are responsible for causing her emotional struggles.

However, new reports indicate that Tasha K is now seeking a new trial. She cites the judge allegedly banning talk surrounding Cardi’s past gang ties as the reason for the new demand.

According to RadarOnline, the blogger says the judge should have allowed evidence of the “WAP” rapper’s reported gang ties to be a part of the trial. Tasha and her legal team argue that, in doing so, the judge is allowing the exclusion of character evidence into the trial. As a result, she says the trial was improper.

In other recent news surrounding Cardi B, she recently spoke out to defend some lyrics from her verse on GloRilla‘s “Tomorrow 2.” In the final two bars of her red-hot verse, she raps, “All y’all b*tches sweet and I always get my lick, boo / I fight for my bitches and I’m fightin’ over d*ck too.”

“Y’all talkin bout y’all won’t fight over dick but y’all be fighting over celebs online all the time ….somebody lying,” she claps back at her haters in a tweet.

What are your thoughts on the situation? Do you think Tasha K should be granted a new trial? Sound off in the comments below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for any updates.

Skip Bayless’ Damar Hamlin Tweet Causes Reactions From Stephen Jackson & Kyle Kuzma

by

Last night, Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin suffered one of the worst injuries the sports world has ever seen.

During the first quarter of the Bills game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday (December 2), Hamlin collapsed on the field after making a tackle.

The world was immediately sent into shock when the 24-year-old had to receive CPR for nearly 10 minutes following the incident. Reports indicate that he went into cardiac arrest.

Both Bengals and Bills players began surrounding Hamlin as this was going on. He subsequently left the stadium in an ambulance to take him to the University of Cincinnati Medial Center. He remains there, reportedly in critical condition.

As the world was awaiting an update on the 24-year-old’s status, Skip Bayless took to his Twitter account to share his thoughts on the league’s looming decision on the rest of the game. Evidently, everyone was seemingly in agreement that the game should be postponed.

“No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant,” the sports columnist writes in his controversial tweet.

Stephen Jackson subsequently took to his Instagram Stories to share his thoughts on the 71-year-old’s tweet. “You know what’s crazy? If it was Tom Brady, I guarantee you would’ve chose your words wisely. Somebody that’s been in journalism for over 40 years knows exactly what to say and how to say it,” says the former NBA player.

“We ain’t talking about an athlete that went into journalism, we talking about somebody that’s been in journalism their whole life. He never was an athlete. Not once was he an athlete. So journalism is his thing, just like basketball is my thing. He knows what he’s saying and when he’s saying it. He not getting no pass for this. But now everybody on his ass, now he wanna come with a lame ass apology. And don’t come on TV and say, ‘we can’t be insensitive to this situation.’ You wrote that tweet, nobody else,” he continues afterwards.

Additionally, Kyle Kuzma also has some choice words for the Undisputed co-host. “How come there is no repercussions for any of Skip Bayless’s insensitive things that he has said over the years?? Hmmmm….” says the Wizards Power Forward.

In 2020, Bayless publicly criticized Dak Prescott and implied that he was a bad leader for the Cowboys. This came after the Quarterback revealed that he had been dealing with depression due to the pandemic and his brother’s suicide. “I don’t have sympathy for him going public with, ‘I got depressed. I suffered depression early in Covid, to the point that I couldn’t even go work out.’ Look, he’s the Quarterback of America’s team,” he says in the clip.

Regardless, the 71-year-old has since apologized for his seemingly insensitive tweet. “Nothing is more important than that young man’s health. That was the point of my last tweet. I’m sorry if that was misunderstood but his health is all that matters. Again, everything else is irrelevant. I prayed for him & will continue to,” he clarifies.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with Damar Hamlin and his family. Stay tuned to HNHH for any further updates.

Westside Gunn & Benny The Butcher Throw Shots At B.Dot After Exclusion From Best Rappers Of 2022 List

by

Now that 2022 has officially come to a close, many have finalized their lists containing their favorite things of the year. Most popularly in the music industry, fans and media figures alike tend to share their lists of their favorite songs, albums and artists over the past 365 days.

Of course, hip-hop is one of, if not the most competitive genre. Everyone’s year-end lists surrounding rappers and hip-hop albums usually stir up some heated discussion online.

2022 is no different. One media figure who has become notorious for sharing his year-end lists is hip-hop journalist, B.Dot Miller. On December 23, the Rap Radar co-host took to his Twitter account to share his list of the best rappers of the year.

As per usual, he bases his list on skill, performance and presence. For 2022, he has Pusha T, Gucci Mane and J. Cole as the top three, in that order. Kendrick follows in the fourth spot, JID is fifth, then 21 Savage at sixth. The seventh to tenth spots belong to Kodak Black, Drake, Ransom and Lil Wayne, in that order.

The Griselda camp had an incredibly busy year yet again, collectively dropping several projects. Regardless, none of them are present on B.Dot’s list. Westside Gunn evidently isn’t happy about it.

He and some of the other Griselda crew members, including Stove God Cooks and Rome Streetz, recently sat down for an interview with B.Dot and Elliott Wilson for an episode of their Rap Radar podcast. However, this was clearly before Miller released his list.

“This was a great interview but that was some weeks ago, now it’s F*CK @bdotTM bc he just don’t get it & I wasted 2hrs of my time[.] its @GriseldaRecords ALL YEAR[.] S/O to my guy @ElliottWilson he still good he rode thru the hood w/me in the Bach,” writes the “327” rapper.

“This THURSDAY let’s start my Finale yr with a @RapRadar interview with @ElliottWilson and a few good men @BoldyJames @Stovegodcooks & @Rome_Streetz the ALMIGHTY GXFR @GriseldaRecords,” the Buffalo native writes in another tweet afterwards. In the promo picture of the group, Gunn scratches out B.Dot’s face and writes “Chump” above him.

Furthermore, Benny The Butcher is also taking exception to being left off the list. A fan replied to the Rap Radar co-host’s list asking Benny if they were left off because of a bar from Conway the Machine that mentioned B.Dot. “If so, that’s mad corny. I thought it was harmless,” the fan writes.

The bar in question is seemingly from Benny and Conway’s collaborative track from earlier this year, “Tyson vs. Ali.” The 40-year-old raps, “Tell B.Dot I said, f his list.”

The “Johnny P’s Caddy” rapper replies, insisting that this is the case. “Def tht and I had a brush in with 2 of his rap friends lol,” he says.

Additionally, Benny replied to another comment about the group’s absence when the list was originally posted in December. “F*ck smokin crack he gotta be Eatin it,” he says.

The full Griselda interview with Rap Radar is set to release this Thursday (January 5).

What are your thoughts on B.Dot’s list? Should at least a few of the Griselda members have been on the list? Comment your thoughts below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

Blueface’s Baltimore Blowout Leaves Man Unconscious On NYE: Video

by

For the most part, headlines regarding Blueface and Chrisean Rock have been regarding their Crazy In Love reality series as of late. However, it seems as though things once again got out of hand for the couple in real time on New Year’s Eve. As they were attending an event at a Baltimore club, the “Thotiana” rapper surprisingly got into a physical altercation with some other men in the streets.

Video footage of the incident has concurrently been making rounds online. Though some first thought that it was the California native being taken down, it was actually him who did the knocking out.

As AllHipHop notes, the fight took place across several city blocks. Two armed officers were unable to stop the chaos due to the crowd size. It specifically included dozens of men and women, including one apparently in her underwear.

When things wrapped up, an unknown male in a yellow shirt was knocked out cold on the ground. Blueface later posted a screenshot of the aftermath on his Instagram Story, writing, “He was sleepy [yawning emoji].”

At this time, the reason for the altercation remains unknown. However, some social media users have been speculating that it had to do with Chrisean’s family.

“Blueface got into an altercation last night outside a local club in Baltimore,” one Twitter user reports. “He and Chrisean Rock [were there] for New Year’s Eve. The fight apparently broke out when Blue ran into some men who are associated with Chrisean’s father, who he fought in September of last year.”

As you may recall, the fight between the 25-year-old and his partner’s dad was previously captured on camera for their reality show. Across the first two episodes, we saw Blue get hit, and later, get his lick back on the older man.

Additionally, others pointed out that fighting so publicly isn’t a great idea in the midst of his attempted murder allegations from late last year.

Check out more Twitter reactions to Blueface’s Baltimore fight below. Afterward, tell us your thoughts on all the drama in the comments.

Freddie Gibbs Responds To Uncle Murda’s “Rap-Up 2022”

by

Freddie Gibbs offered a response to Uncle Murda’s “Rap Up 2022,” which mentioned the Gary, IN rapper’s altercation in Buffalo.

On New Year’s Day, Uncle Murda kept the annual tradition alive with “Rap-Up 2022.” The G-Unit rapper basically recaps the biggest headlines of the year with his own commentary. Uncle Murda name-dropped Will Smith, Kanye West, Megan Thee Stallion, Tory Lanez, and more. While most people didn’t respond to Uncle Murda’s diss, Freddie Gibbs fired back on Twitter.

In the song, Murda summarizes Freddie Gibbs’ altercation in Buffalo. “Let’s talk about Freddie Gibbs, like really, wassup with him?/ N***as robbed him in Buffalo and he got beat up again,” Murda raps. “He be out here lookin’ like a cold-blooded sucka.”

Following the song’s release, Gibbs said that Murda has always been cordial in their interactions. “Uncle Murda be friendly as a box of puppies every time I see him,” he wrote on Twitter. Then, Gibbs took aim at Murda’s career of being a hypeman for 50 Cent.

“I could never be a hype man for a n***a,” he wrote. “Fuck these wee wee holding ass n***as. RIP Gangsta Boo.”

This certainly isn’t the first time Murda mentioned Gibbs. On “Rap-Up 2021,” Murda ripped Freddie Gibbs over his altercation with Jim Jones and Akademiks’ claims that his family is a district attorney. Murda also dissed Gibbs over his Grammy nomination, claiming the rapper didn’t deserve the honor.

In response, Gibbs said that New York City “should be ashamed of y’all non-rapping n***az” before stating that he’d return to the Big Apple for the Space Rabbit tour. Though his shows in New York went down without issues, he ended up getting ran down on in Buffalo a day later.

Besides his recent spat with Uncle Murda, Freddie Gibbs is riding high off of the release of $oul $old Seprartately.
