Latto Fans Vandalize Ice Spice’s Promo Billboard In Atlanta

by

Latto and Ice Spice are currently locked in a cold war that, even if it wasn’t true to begin with, they are definitely leaning into. However, we have to admit that while these two femcees are doing a great job of being competitive and calculated with their responses and subliminal jabs, their fanbases are also carrying a lot of weight in this battle. For example, apparently some 777 fans vandalized one of Spice’s billboard trucks in their fav’s home city of Atlanta, which promoted her new single “Think U The S**t (Fart).” They crossed out the emojis, wrote “777” next to them, and also wrote “Stream Sunday Service” below them.

Furthermore this follows an instance of Latto denying that something was a shot at Ice Spice… while also taking a shot at Ice Spice. She recently tweeted “Didn’t hit tho,” which many interpreted as a dig at her Bronx rival’s decision to put those trucks in Atlanta. Later, the 25-year-old wrote on the social media platform, “This was about that old pic going viral not that lil girl thanks,” and then deleted it off Twitter. Both fanbases were quick to respond and take more shots at each other, and now all that’s left is for them to directly call each other out.

Latto Fans Ruin Ice Spice’s Promo In Atlanta

Another hometown debate surrounds the rollouts for these singles that they’re fighting over. While Ice Spice filmed her “Think U The S**t (Fart)” video in Miami, Latto actually went to her opponent’s home city of the Bronx for the visuals for “Sunday Service.” Many thought that this was a downright dangerous decision for her, let alone a strong move against the 24-year-old. But they’ve kept things competitive solely on the rapping and artistic ends, which means there’s no real reason for escalation.

Meanwhile, other fans of the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker are taking sides and making their own moves to defend her. One of them is fellow New Yorker Funk Flex, who said he might not play “Sunday Service” out of solidarity with Ice Spice. Let’s see if she has any other moves up her sleeve. For more news on the Bronx MC and the latest updates on Latto, stick around on HNHH.

Ice Spice Seemingly Sends “Think U The Shit” Billboards To Atlanta, Fans Still Think Latto Won The Beef

by

Billboard trucks with an emoji version of Ice Spice’s “Think you the shit, you not even the fart” lyric have been spotted driving around Atlanta. While not confirmed to have been ordered by Ice Spice herself, it’s unclear who the target of the billboards is. However, many people believe that the move is a continuation of the rapper’s beef with Latto. “Think U The Shit (Fart)” was widely taken as a shot at Latto, who even responded to the track on her own release, “Sunday Service”.

Despite the move from Spice, fans still think that Latto won the beef. “She put a truck in Atlanta… Latto not only went to ices CITY but she filmed the video in ices exact hood.. Latto taking it,” one fan wrote. “She was too scared to go there herself? Or drop a better diss?” added another. “A truck with a sign on it ? Latto brought 20 plus black vans in ur city and filmed a whole mv,” concurred a third. “Sunday Service” is yet to debut on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, “Think U The Shit (Fart)” debuted at No. 37 and dropped to No. 52 in its second week.

Ice Spice Roasted For Super Bowl Performance

Meanwhile, Spice cannot escape the flopping allegations to save her life at the moment. “Tell The frozen spice girl to stop singing to me, I have a dashiki that’s older than her,” Michael Blackson wrote on Instagram. He also included footage of Spice rapping and twerking at the Fanatics Super Bowl Party, turning the camera to capture his concerned expression. Many fans were quick to skewer Spice in the comments too. “So she’s a stripper with a microphone. Got it,” one hater said. “Imagine your music being so trash you have to show your nakedness so we can forget that your music is trash 🗑,” concurred another.

However, Spice had a VIP seat for the game, rolling up to Travis Kelce’s suite with Taylor Swift. She also starred in an ad for Starry. In the ad, Spice is being rizzed up the soda brand’s two animated mascots when her “ex-boyfriend” shows up to try and win back the rapper. When she rejects him, the man’s head horrifyingly explodes in a fountain of soda. Titled “It’s Time To See Other Sodas”, the ad dropped on February 2. However, contrary to the belief of some gossip sites, the ad did not reveal any details of the rapper’s actual love life.

Kanye West And Ty Dolla $ign To Host Two More Listening Parties In Italy

by

Last week, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign finally dropped their new album VULTURES 1. The project was teased for months as one release date after another passed. Eventually it was announced that the project would be split into three volumes. The first chance fans had to hear the final project came during a listening party the duo threw in Chicago that fans online could also pay to tune into.

Despite the album now having already been released, they just announced some new listening parties to play it for fans in person. The two shows will bring VULTURES to Italy later this month. The first event will take place in Milan on February 22. The second will take place in Bologna a few days later on February 24. Some fans may want to attend a listening party with the future of the album’s availability on streaming services in question. The album was absent from Apple Music for multiple hours earlier this week following a dispute with the distributor for the project.

Kanye West Taking “VULTURES” To Italy

For fans who want to hear the duo perform the songs from VULTURES 1 rather than just listening to the album, they just made a big announcement. The pair will be headlining Rolling Loud California later this year. While there, the pair are likely to make the live debuts of many of the songs from the album. One of the songs on the album is currently unavailable on streaming. “GOOD (DON’T DIE)” was subject to a copyright claim made by the estate of Donna Summer.

It wasn’t the only issue taken with the album’s sampling. Ozzy Osbourne personally tweeted at West for using an uncleared sample during one of the listening parties. The sample in question was eventually replaced on the album itself. What do you think of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign hosting more listening parties for VULTURES 1 even though it’s already be released? Do you think the album will be able to stay on streaming services permanently? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jack Harlow Secures Third No. 1 Single with "Lovin on Me"

Jack Harlow and his “Lovin’ On Me” single is again back on top of the Billboard Hot 100. The song ascended to the top spot from No. 2 for a fifth nonconsecutive week.

It also accumulated 23.2 million streams, indicating a 10% decrease, and sold 6,000 downloads, showing a decline of 39% during the tracking week of Feb. 2-8.

Megan Thee Stallion & “HISS” Fail To Crack Billboard Top 10 A Week After Going Number One

by

Megan Thee Stallion’s “HISS” is one of the biggest hits of 2024 so far… but there’s only one problem with its chart longevity. It has a lot of subliminal disses and created a moment, but since much of the hype surrounding it is about these feuds, the beefs dying down in the headlines means that the song doesn’t have the same replay value. At least, that’s what Billboard reflects, as the track fell out of the Top 10 this week. Now, it’s populated by the mainstays as of late: Zach Bryan, SZA, Jack Harlow, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Luke Combs, Doja Cat, and more.

Of course, a lot of the conversation around “HISS” surrounded the true ignition of beef between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj. The latter absolutely popped off on Twitter when this record dropped, going on a social media rampage for three days before dropping her response, “Big Foot.” No matter which side you’re on in this debacle, you can’t deny that either release had a lot of potential to stay on the charts for long. There’s nothing wrong with making a moment out of a song; it just means that you won’t have the same effect as you would with a song catered to be a re-playable and long-lasting effort.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “HISS” Falls Out Of Billboard‘s Top 10

But the question still remains: did Megan Thee Stallion (or Nicki Minaj, for that matter) need to stay on the charts for the song to make its impact? The Houston MC still hasn’t responded to “Big Foot,” which is likely because of all the success she found with “HISS.” Although some folks like The Joe Budden Podcast doubt that it was an organic No. 1 smash, her fans think that she took the dub here. Barbz think otherwise, obviously, so maybe one more round is what could really settle this.

That aside, a lot of people are still talking about this beef and these disses, including femcee Saweetie, who had a great and nuanced take about female rap beef. As such, Billboard doesn’t mean a thing; “HISS” stamped itself into the history books and into public consciousness. But it means little if what follows it, such as an album, doesn’t result in a compelling, well-crafted, and intent-driven experience. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Megan Thee Stallion.

Ice Spice Lands Highest Charting Single With “Think U The Sh*t (Fart)”

by

Ice Spice’s latest single, “Think U The Sh*t (Fart),” has become her highest-charting song as a solo artist. The track reached No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the outlet’s latest update. Spice dropped off the viral track, last month, featuring the now-infamous bar, “Think you the sh*t, b*tch? You not even the fart.”

While it’s now her most successful solo venture, her biggest song overall remains “Karma,” featuring Taylor Swift. That song climbed as high as No. 2. Her “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” collaboration with PinkPantheress also reached No. 3 while “Barbie World” with Nicki Minaj cracked the top 10 as well.

Despite the new song’s popularity, not everyone is a fan. Conservative media pundit Candace Owens recently spent a segment of her show complaining about its existence. “If you’re wondering whether or not it’s a good song, what do you think? It’s called ‘Think U The S**t (Fart),’” Owens said before playing a clip from the song. “Now I think we can all admit that we’ve fallen as a society. I mean, I wouldn’t say that was Mozart or Beethoven, but I’m not all of these mainstream media publications that routinely run to defend this kind of music similar to what they did with ‘WAP’ the most disgusting and filthiest lyrics I’ve ever read. They will then sit down and write an article trying to convince you that what you just heard was magical and they did this with this Ice Spice song.”

Drake Spends His 500th Week On The Artist 100 Chart

by

Almost a decade ago Billboard introduced a new chart meant to track an artist’s success across all charts and metrics in a given week. That was called the Artist 100 and it can be loosely interpreted as the most popular artist in a given week. Unsurprisingly, the most commercially dominant artist of the last decade has achieved things on the chart nobody else can manage. Drake’s newest achievement is yet another sign of not just the volume of his commercial dominance, but the longevity.

Drake has officially spent a full 500 weeks on the Artist 100 chart, becoming the first artist to do so. He also achieved the feat as quickly as possible as this week’s Artist 100 is the 500th edition of the chart. Drizzy is the only artist who has appeared on every single Artist 100 throughout its entire existence. Only Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and Bruno Mars are within 25 weeks of Drake’s record-setting tenure. He turns up at number 4 on this week’s chart, meaning he likely isn’t fading from the Artist 100 any time soon. Check out the full scope of his achievement below.

Drake’s Record Extending Artist 100 Tenure

Many think that Drake is included among those that Megan Thee Stallion took shots at on “HISS.” That would make sense as he dropped an offensive bar about her Tory Lanez shooting incident on last year’s Her Loss. Despite the buzz of a dizz, Drizzy has been silent on the matter on social media.

He’s had plenty of public opportunities to comment as he’s popped up all over the place recently. He and Adonis were courtside for a Knicks/Heat game over the weekend. Shortly afterward he was out partying in New York with Cash Cobain and Fivio Foreign. That was just a few days after he was hanging out with Lil Yachty and hitting some different New York City clubs. What do you think of Drake appearing on every single Artist 100 chart for almost a full decade? Let us know in the comment section below.

Lil Nas X’s New Single Scores Middling Hot 100 Debut

by

For an artist of Lil Nas X’s caliber songs are expected to be massive hits right away. That wasn’t the case with his new single “J CHRIST.” The song just hit the Hot 100 this week but was far lower down the chart than many expected. The same week that Ariana Grande debuted her new song “yes, and?” at the very top spot, “J CHRIST” just landed at number 69. Some of the rapper’s previous hits like “THAT’S WHAT I WANT” started off slow before becoming smash successes. But for the long-awaited lead single for his second album, many fans are underwhelmed.

Another element hampering the debut of “J CHRIST” is the new 21 Savage album american dream. The project debuted 14 of its 15 songs on the Hot 100, 13 of which placed above “J CHRIST” on the charts. Two of those songs “redrum” and “nee-nah” landed inside the top 10. Two additional songs “all of me” and “n.h.i.e” place in the top 20. “J CHRIST” has racked up more than 11 million streams on Spotify and its music video has over 12 million views, so the song is clearly getting some attention. It remains to be seen whether the song will fade from the Hot 100 quickly or become a sleeper hit over time.

21 Savage Scores Two Top 10 Hits On The Hot 100

by

21 Savage’s new album american dream arrived amid strange circumstances. It had no pre-release singles and was attached to a 21 biopic that left many fans more confused than excited. Despite that, the album performed quite well. american dream churned out 133k copies in its first week numbers that only a handful of rap albums released in 2023 managed to achieve. The Billboard 200 went through almost half of 2023 without a rap album topping the chart until Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape did it. With his new album, Savage assured there wouldn’t be such a streak this year. american dream debuted at the number one spot on the Billboard 200.

His new album isn’t the only one to debut high though. Kali Uchis also released her new album ORQUEDIAS to commercial and critical success. The album reached Kali’s highest point ever on the Billboard 200. It debuted at number 2 after pushing 69k, her highest-ever tracking sales week. The other high-profile rap album released earlier this month was Kid Cudi’s INSANO. Despite hype behind the project and some massive features, it couldn’t score a top-10 debut. The album turned up right outside of the top 10 placing at number 13 in its first week.

Sexyy Red Shares More Maternity Pics, Slams Folks Trying To Find Baby Daddy

by

Sexyy Red just shared some more maternity pics from her shoot with her baby daddy, who people are scrambling to identify online. While we doubt that we will get an answer to that question anytime soon, we at least have these new snaps showing her one step closer to a new baby. Moreover, the rapper dons a kimono-like dress and eschews her iconic red locks for a jet black-haired look, holding up a fan of cash to cool her down. Overall, it’s been very wholesome to see this phase in her life; she may not be a new mother, but having a child under such a massive celebrity spotlight must feel like something entirely different.

Furthermore, Sexyy Red also recently clapped back at people trying to figure out who her baby daddy is. “Y’all wanna play detective on my good life so bad,” she remarked on her Instagram page. “Like, can y’all worry about them unpaid bills y’all got? That stinky c**chie y’all got, that dirty a** house I know y’all got, ’cause y’all need to go clean up. Go wash your a**, do something productive instead of worrying about me, okay? I don’t understand, like, y’all… it’s just cr*zy. I just wanna know, why y’all wanna know who I’m crackin’ so bad? Why, so y’all can go crack them after me? Is that what’s going on? ‘Cause why y’all wanna know what I got goin’ on? Don’t worry about it. I told y’all. It’s Chief Keef. I don’t wanna hear about it no more. I told y’all, it is what it is.”

Elsewhere, the St. Louis native also commented to Billboard about people assuming all her lyrics are the same. “I just rap about my daily life,” Sexyy Red remarked. “Like, girls that live like me, I just rap about what we up to. And I don’t sit here talking about “c**chie” all day. I don’t understand how that’s the first thing that catch on from everything I done said. I think they hear what they wanna hear. ‘Cause they just start comparing me to all kind of people and say, ‘That’s all she talk about.’ But I be like, ‘So, you didn’t hear me say this?’ Like, why is that the only thing you got from that message? I don’t understand.”

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old is also showing support to other new moms in the pop culture world. For example, she congratulated DDG and Halle Bailey, who recently announced they’re expecting their first child. We wish the best for all these families in the future, and hope fans can take away more from Red’s catalog than just her romantic life.
