Boosie Badazz & Redman Discuss Pusha T & Jim Jones’ Feud

by

Boosie Badazz, Redman, and Erick Sermon all weighed in on the ongoing feud between Pusha T and Jim Jones on the red carpet at the 2023 BET Awards. Speaking with HipHopDX, the two gave their reactions to the recent battle between both rappers.

When Boosie was asked about Jones’ diss track, he replied: “No, I didn’t hear it, but I heard he didn’t like the verse right?… I don’t know [who would win]. That [battle] would be a good one though.” Redman added: “I heard some of Pusha T’s joint, but I ain’t hear Jim yet – but I know when Jim puts his mind to it, he goes in.”

“It wasn’t bad,” Sermon said of Jim’s diss record. “I was shocked though too because again, Jim came up late. As far as the lyrics and him spitting the rhyme, it was dope. [But] Pusha T is a real lyricist, for real.”

The battle between Jim Jones and Pusha T began back in April when Jones argued that Billboard shouldn’t have included Pusha on its “Top 50 Greatest Rappers” list. The comment stuck with Pusha, who responded by dissing Jones in a new Clipse track debuted at Pharrell’s first Louis Vuitton show, last week. Jones eventually dropped a diss track aimed at Pusha in response.

Boosie Discusses Pusha T Vs. Jim Jones

Boosie and Redman aren’t the only ones to weigh in on the Pusha T-Jim Jones battle. Charlamagne recently said that Jones’ diss wasn’t enough to beat Pusha T. “I don’t think that’s enough,” he said. “I think if you shoot at Pusha, you just gotta go ahead and drop the nuke. You can’t just shoot. You just gotta go ahead and drop the nuke now. That’s what Pusha’s gonna do, if Pusha replies. If we’re looking at the way Pusha has replied before, Pusha gonna drop a nuke off top.”

by

Over the weekend the BET Awards happened, presenting many of rap music’s biggest stars the chance to interact.

N.O.R.E. And Chief Keef Cross Paths

When N.O.R.E. is in the news these days it often has to do with other rappers he’s run into. A few weeks ago he linked up backstage with Wu-Tang Clan after a show While chatting with the group he invited them to appear on his show Drink Champs. Just a few weeks before that at a different show, he ran into a different NY legend backstage, Nas. He had just recently interviewed Nas and afterward described the entire experience as “surreal.” The pair have been seen together after a handful of shows on Nas and Wu-Tang’s current tour.

Quavo and Offset Reunite to Tribute Takeoff at the 2023 BET Awards

Offset and Quavo are cool but that will not result in the immediate return to making music as Migos. According to TMZ, the duo have been cool for some time, mending their relationship behind the scene.

Sources reveal the two are currently not planning to record new music as a unit. The BET Awards moment was solely for honoring Takeoff and the Migos name may never be used again.

The unannounced tribute aired as the show returned from commercial, positioning Quavo and Takeoff on opposite sides of a heavenly spotlight, which took the place of Takeoff. The two supported Takeoff’s verse on “Hotel Lobby” before performing their classic anthem “Bad and Boujee.”

The moment was both important to the legacy of Takeoff but assuming to place a nail in a standing beef between the two Migos members.

BET released footage from backstage as T.I. celebrates the two and echoes a statement that all of Hip-Hop had: “Love to see it.”

You can see that moment and the full performance below.

Lil Uzi Vert And JT’s BET Awards Fight Was Apparently Not Over Ice Spice After All, As Some Had Claimed

During the BET Awards over the weekend, Lil Uzi Vert and his girlfriend, JT of City Girls, got into a fight. However, although it had originally been speculated that their argument started over Ice Spice, TMZ and members of JT’s team are denying that she played a role.

Fans and viewers had first believed it, given Uzi rapped “I got a nice wife, wig came off twice / She got a little afro, she looks like Ice Spice” during his performance at the awards show.

One Twitter user also made a thread about JT and Uzi at the show, claiming she got mad after he was talking to Ice. “I overheard him cussing at her too so they both be just saying outlandish sh*t it seems like but after about 20 min. She just starts ignoring his pleading and gets up and acts like she paying attention to the performances… he tried to touch her and she almost clocked him!” they wrote.

JT had also thrown her phone at him during the event, as other attendees shot videos of the tension.

In reality, there is reportedly no drama between JT and Ice — or even JT and Lil Uzi Vert. She simply had gotten upset over losing her seat during the audience moving around, according to her team, and the couple left together as normal.

Lil Uzi Vert is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Quavo & Offset Reportedly Have No Plans For New Music

by

Quavo & Offset certainly had fans going wild from the comfort of their homes on Sunday night. Overall, this is due to their incredible performance at the BET Awards. Many people thought they would never see this take place. Although they had been beefing for over a year, they came back together to honor Takeoff. It was a massive performance that felt cathartic for so many reasons. Moreover, it has led to lots of speculation about what the future may be for these two legendary artists.

According to TMZ, there are a few things to consider about the Quavo & Offset reunion. First and foremost, they have actually been cool for a few months at this point. However, they only went public with their rekindled camaraderie over the weekend. This is obviously a good sign as some were fearful that Sunday was some sort of one-off event. That said, fans should be wary of getting their hopes up in regard to new Migos music. For now, both men are going to hold off on a collab.

Quavo & Offset Are Cool

As the outlet reports, neither has an interest in dropping a collaborative song or album right now. Additionally, it is very much unknown whether or not they would call themselves Migos. What is known at this point, however, is that no one will replace Takeoff. Instead, it would simply remain a duo. This will come as good news to fans who want the group to keep its sanctity. After all, Takeoff is truly irreplaceable and it would be jarring to see someone else in the group.

Hopefully, Quavo & Offset drop something in the future. However, it is understandable that they are taking a bit of a break for now. They just started becoming cool again, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to make music together again. Let us know what you think about their recent decision, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the music world.

Sexyy Red Calls Out Woman Who Farted Near Her At The 2023 BET Awards

by

Everyone seemed to have a great time at the 2023 BET Awards, and though Sexyy Red might agree, it wasn’t all peaches and cream. Sure, she enjoyed herself a lot alongside Chrisean Rock, twerking barefoot in the seating aisles. However, one particular unnamed woman set her off when she walked past the St. Louis native and allegedly let a fart out. Soon after, Red shared a hilarious video calling out the mystery tooter and reacting to the stinky smell. Even when you’re in a star-studded arena at a grandiose event, those real-world everyday issues still seep through the cracks.

“So, I’m pissed off right now,” Sexyy Red expressed in the clip from the comfort of her BET Awards seat. “Some stanky booty-a** b***h just walked past me and farted, and it smell like a**. You nasty as f**k, b***h. Don’t ever disrespect a queen by going to walk past me and fart. B***h, f**k you!” she concluded with a laugh. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old is facing much stronger (but fortunately less smelly) hate coming her way. This time, though, it’s a direct attack and not just an isolated incident at an awards show.

Sexyy Red’s Hilarious Response To Stink BET Awards Experience

Furthermore, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro blasted Sexyy Red’s latest track with Nicki Minaj, “Pound Town 2.” Moreover, he hilariously tried to read some of the more vulgar lyrics in the song with a straight face before going in on the song’s themes, as any offended hater would. Not only that, but this even elicited a direct response from Minaj on Twitter, who quote-tweeted a clip of the critique with a special message. “Roman said leave his a** out of it sir! No pun intended,” she expressed on the social media platform.

Meanwhile, the “Female Gucci Mane” is celebrating the recent release of her latest full-length project, Hood Hottest Princess. With that aforementioned hit plus other bangers like “Born By The River” and “Strictly For The Strippers,” she gave fans a nice and concise set of summer jams. Hopefully we see her career go to even further heights in the future, as she’s well on her way to an upper echelon. For more news and the latest updates on Sexyy Redd, come back to HNHH.

Boosie Badazz Asks Sukihana About Her “Booty Hole,” Rap Diva Lets Fan Lick Her Butt During Concert

by

The BET Awards are over and done for another year, but we’re still reflecting on some of the biggest moments from the annual show. Boosie Badazz was definitely a part of several of them, from him literally dropping to the ground during Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor” performance to his link-up with Sukihana, during which the 40-year-old couldn’t help but ask her an extremely personal question. “Is your booty hold brown?” Boosie pressed the entertainer while wrapping his arm around her as cameras recorded them.

The Louisana native is obviously under the influence by the way he’s carrying himself (not to mention the nearly empty drink in his hand), but Suki doesn’t appear to be uncomfortable in the situation. She doesn’t seem to answer Boosie’s burning question, but it’s evident by her upbeat energy that she’s moving past her feud with YK Osiris earlier this month. As you may recall, the R&B singer planted a kiss on the Delaware native without her consent, resulting in some serious uproar online.

Interestingly, Sukihana now happens to be going viral for another wild moment – this one during a concert in Detroit. She posted a video to Twitter over the weekend revealing that two fans took turns running their tongues up and down the back section of her tights in the midst of her performance. Afterward, one of them looked elated with joy, even taking a moment to thank God for the opportunity she was given. Of course, many are questioning why the 31-year-old is going so hard with her antics after facing something so traumatic with Osiris.

The video from Sukihana’s Detroit show is too salacious to include in our post, but you can find it on the rap diva’s Twitter page here. Aside from her concert antics, the reality starlet is also facing criticism for sharing NSFW photos on her IG profile after calling out YK Osiris for coming on too strong. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Sexyy Red Wasn’t Booked For The BET Awards, So She Put On Her Own Impromptu Performance In The Audience

The 2023 BET Awards highlighted a number of rap’s new it-girls, from Doechii and GloRilla to Ice Spice and Latto, but there was one who missed the cutoff to receive recognition. That didn’t stop her from creating her own opportunity, though.

Sexyy Red, who blew up late last year with her raunchy singles “Born By The River” and “Pound Town,” wasn’t booked to perform at the BET Awards, so she gave her own impromptu performance of the latter in the crowd when it played over the PA. The fans in her section seemed pretty amped up to see her stand up and begin rapping along, encouraging her with calls of “Aye!” One woman even stood up with Red and started twerking on her. Check it out below.

The BET Awards were plenty eventful outside of the performances as well. While the focus of the evening was rightly on the celebration of 50 years of hip-hop and a lifetime achievement award for Busta Rhymes, there were enough extracurriculars to keep fans buzzing even after the show ended. JT and Lil Uzi Vert got into some kind of altercation, leading to JT throwing her phone at Uzi. Meanwhile, Latto was so psyched at winning Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, she ran onto the stage missing a shoe.

The 2023 BET Awards went down this weekend, and there was plenty to love on stage. There was a star-studded performance in honor of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary, Latto went ahead and “Put It On Da Floor,” Offset and Quavo teamed up to honor Takeoff, and Busta Rhymes had an emotional moment. What might be the biggest drama of the night, though, happened off stage.

As Lil Uzi Vert and JT sat in the audience together, JT appeared quite upset and said to Uzi, “F*cking groupie, I’m done with you,” videos show. She then threw her phone at at him and called him a “b*tch.” She then headed towards the exit and Uzi followed her out.

So that’s what happened, but why did it happen?

Neither rapper has publicly spoken about what happened, so at the moment, all we have are rumors. What we do know for sure, though, is that the interaction happened after Uzi shouted out Ice Spice on an unreleased song he performed, in which he says, “I got a nice wife. […] Wig came off twice. She got a little afro, she looks like Ice Spice.” As for the rumors, some are speculating the blow-up was caused by a mix of that and Uzi supposedly flirting (or at least talking) with Ice Spice.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Offset Posts Behind The Scenes Video Of Surprise BET Performance

by

Many of rap music’s biggest superstars showed out for last night’s BET awards. Performances brought together legends of old with the hottest stars of today to celebrate rap’s 50th anniversary. In one of the biggest performances of the night, Migos rappers Offset and Quavo re-united to pay tribute to the group’s third member Takeoff. Takeoff was shot and killed in November of last year and since then stars from all across the industry have paid tribute to his personality and talent.

The latest tribute was a major highlight of last night’s BET awards. This morning, Offset took fans behind the scenes of the day leading up to the surprise show. A video on his Instagram tracks what he was doing in the day leading up to the award show. The video shows Offset and Quavo rehearsing their choreography before the show. They rehearse on an empty stage pointing at the picture of Takeoff projected onto the wall behind them.

Offset Takes Us Behind The Scenes

While Offset and Quavo’s performance was one of the highlights of the night, it also had plenty of drama. City Girls’ rapper JT and her partner Lil Uzi Vert had a very publicized fight during the show. Many initially suspected that it had something to do with Uzi shouting out Ice Spice during his performance. JT was quick to come out and clarify the situation afterward saying she is totally cool with Ice Spice.

Offset has been busy recently popping up in a few places during Paris Fashion Week. First, he linked up with Jay-Z and Pharrell during the latter’s debut show as Louis Vuitton’s Head of Menswear. He also performed his hit song “Ric Flair Drip” during sportswear brand Li-Nang’s show. Finally, he showed up at the Dior show a few days later sporting a fit nobody could ignore. He quickly turned around from those appearances to make his surprise return to the BET Awards stage. What do you think of Offset’s behind-the-scenes video of his BET performance? Let us know in the comment section below.
