“Like That” Remix By Kanye West Taken Off YouTube By Sony

by

Kanye West recently entered the “elimination of Drake” with his remix of “Like That.” Metro Boomin made a darker and more anthemic beat and Future even recorded a new verse. It was officially premiered on Justin Laboy’s podcast The Download this past weekend after Adam22 leaked it on April 20. The track went viral for bars like, “Y’all so out of sight, out of mind / I can’t even think of a Drake line / Play J. Cole, get the p***y dry.” Ye released the track on his YouTube page, as well as his website yeezy.com. However, Sony is not having it any of it, as the “Like That” remix is now off of YouTube.

RapTV was one of the first to report the news on their Instagram account by sharing a screenshot of the unplayable track. As of now, only the audio from Kanye West’s account on the video platform is down. When you click on the video, it reads, “This video contains content from SME, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.” This may not be too much of a surprise to some as Sony and UMG had Ye under contract and then removed him from the payroll after voicing their distaste for his antisemitic statements.

Kanye has been sharing his disdain for major labels and it has been part of the reason why he recently began another beef installment with Drake. During the Laboy interview he stated, “Drake has a rich baby daddy, named Lucian [Grainge] and Universal. “He’s like, ‘My daddy got it. My daddy control the spins. My daddy got the DSPs.’ Drake has a rich baby daddy named Lucian.”

What are your thoughts on the “Like That” remix by Kanye best being taken down by Sony? Do you think this removal stems from them speaking against Ye’s antisemitic statements, why or why not? How do you see the controversial rapper handling this down the road? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

GloRilla Clarifies Why She Blocked Kai Cenat: “People Don’t Understand I Play Too Much”

by

Remember when Kai Cenat blasted “Cha Cha Cha” by GloRilla and Fivio Foreign on live stream? Apparently that was all a ruse! The Memphis rapper recently cleared the air surrounding that viral moment a few months ago in a new interview with Shannon Sharpe. It was conducted on the former NFL star’s hit podcast Club Shay Shay. The chat was a good get for the sports analyst, as GloRilla has a lot of exciting things happening in her career at the moment. But diving back into the Kai Cenat blocking situation, she explained the true intent behind it, according to AllHipHop.

When GloRilla spoke about it being all for show, she was not letting anyone’s imaginations run wild while giving her response. She really seems to be telling the honest truth. “That was a whole joke. That wasn’t serious,” she said. “People don’t understand I play too much, and I don’t understand that people don’t know me and don’t know I play too much.”

GloRilla Says Blocking Kai “Was A Whole Joke”

Her close friends were well aware that blocking Kai Cenat was nothing to take seriously. However, Glo did not realize at the time that everyone else was going to be confused by it. Another viral moment from this episode was when Glo went into full fangirl mode over seeing LeBron James support “Yeah Glo!” “LeBron knew the words. I watch LeBron rap songs and not know the words for real. He knew ‘Yeah Glo!’”

What are your thoughts on GloRilla saying that blocking Kai Cenat was a joke? Are you buying that they are cool with each other, why or why not? Do you think Glo has a healthy mindset when it comes to her wanting to prove people wrong? Are you excited for her upcoming mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhtang? What song are you most excited for?

Meek Mill Finally Expels DJ Akademiks From His Social Media Amid Bitter Feud

by

In the tangled web of social media, feuds between celebrities are not uncommon. However, the recent spat between rapper Meek Mill and media personality DJ Akademiks has grabbed headlines over the last few days in particular. However, the saga reached a new height recently as Meek Mill finally decided to block DJ Akademiks on X. Marking what could be the end of this bitter feud. The feud began innocuously enough, with Akademiks linking Meek Mill to a lawsuit involving Diddy, which understandably irked the Philly rapper. This connection spiraled into a series of online arguments and exchanges that played out publicly on Twitter. Meek Mill found himself repeatedly addressing his connection to the lawsuit, something that clearly frustrated him.

Moreover, the tension escalated over the weekend as the two exchanged heated words on Twitter, with threats of physical confrontation and offers for collaboration turning into personal attacks. Akademiks, known for his provocative commentary, did not hold back, continuing to bring up Meek Mill’s involvement in the lawsuit, particularly the allegations regarding his connection to Diddy. Moreover, the situation reached a boiling point when Meek Mill issued what appeared to be a threat towards Akademiks, expressing his intention to go live and implying consequences if anything were to happen to him. In response, Akademiks called upon his followers to write letters to the Pennsylvania governor, criticizing Meek Mill’s character and actions.

This call to action, while reflective of Akademiks’ trolling nature, highlights the toxicity of online feuds. And the potential real-world consequences they can have. It also highlights the power dynamics at play in social media interactions. As of now, the outcome of Akademiks’ campaign to discredit Meek Mill remains unclear. However, what is evident is that this feud has exposed the darker side of social media. Personal vendettas can spill over into real life with potentially serious ramifications.

Furthermore, regardless of the outcome, Meek’s decision to block DJ Akademiks signifies a possible end to this bitter chapter. While online conflicts may come and go, Meek clearly isn’t feeding into it anymore. As celebrities and influencers continue to navigate the complexities of social media, it is essential to remember the human cost of online Twitter fingers. What do you think about Meek blocking Akademiks? Do you think the feud is really over?

Shannon Sharpe Takes Action Against Antonio Brown After Week-Long Meme Campaign

by

Shannon Sharpe is someone who has truly ascended as it pertains to the media world. Overall, he had great chemistry with Skip Bayless on Undisputed, and always seemed to come through with some viral moments. However, that relationship soured and he has since moved on to ESPN where he works with Stephen A. Smith. This has proven to be a fantastic partnership, and Shannon continues to thrive. Additionally, he has Club Shay Shay which has delivered some incredibly entertaining interviews.

In recent weeks, Sharpe has been hit with a wave of jealousy. Folks are mad that he is successful and it has led to some bizarre rumors. Numerous comedians have tried to say that Shannon is gay. Although there is no evidence to back this up, they continue to make the assertion. One person who has parroted this, is none other than Antonio Brown. The former NFL wide receiver keeps posting memes about Shannon, and it appears to have reached a boiling point. As AB revealed, Sharpe blocked him on Twitter.

Shannon Sharpe Has Had Enough

Brown has been going off on Twitter as of late. He is trying to promote his “CTESPN” enterprise and this has led to numerous memes directed at some prominent figures in sports. Clearly, it has gotten on the nerves of some people, Shannon Sharpe included. After all, many of the jokes AB was making were inappropriate and could be construed as harassment. In Brown’s mind, it’s no loss. Sharpe has been critical of AB and his career in the past. With Brown looking to make his own way in the media space, Sharpe is simply competition that he wants to take out.

Young Thug & YSL Trial: State Motions To Block RICO Case’s Live Stream

by

The RICO trial for Young Thug and the rest of YSL might change in a big way soon, at least for us spectators. Moreover, the state just filed a motion to block the livestream of court proceedings, and their reasoning is quite interesting. Specifically, they name “limitations on the media’s ability to video record testifying witnesses during the pendency of the trial of this case.” In addition, they reference a December 5, 2023 incident in which “live video footage of the trial testimony of a forensic analyst for the State was broadcast by the media. As this witness testified, menacing commentary appeared in the live chat for the broadcast: ‘we will see u later [witness’ name] YSL gunna pop by later.’”

Furthermore, prosecutors in the Young Thug and YSL RICO trial want to consider “a substantial likelihood of harm arising from one or more of the identified factors; whether that harm outweighs the benefit of recording to the public, and whether the Court has considered more narrow restrictions on recording than a complete denial of the media’s requests.” However, they also had specific requests. These include that the courtroom should only allow audio devices for the media’s recording and no visual recording of the witnesses at all. Also, they want to court to ban the media from identifying victim and witness testifiers’ full names until they complete said testimony.

State Motions To Block Young Thug & YSL RICO Trial’s Livestream

While folks may see this move as highly prohibitive, the State does not agree. “To be clear, the State is not requesting an outright denial of recording in this trial,” they expressed. “Instead, each of the State’s requests is explicitly referenced in Rule 22(G)(2) as an example of a ‘least restrictive possible limitation’ on recording short of denial.” We’ve already seen how testimonies spread like wildfire online, contributing to our public perception of it.

But many might ask what’s more important: public knowledge of the trial or safety-oriented secrecy around it? The answer is complex, but prosecutors and defense attorneys alike want this case to proceed as smoothly and fairly as possible. Hackers already interrupted the trial in the past, so perhaps this move will increase its efficiency. On the other hand, it could leave the public in the dark as they already debate whether these proceedings upheld fair practices. Regardless, with all this in mind, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Young Thug and the YSL RICO case.

Diddy Following Gina Huynh’s Instagram Again After She Previously Blocked Him: Report

by

For the past few decades, Sean Combs has been widely recognized in the world of entertainment for his various achievements and vast network. Besides his creative pursuits, the Get Him to the Greek actor is also a huge family man, even making a point to celebrate his late co-parent, Kim Porter, on what would’ve been her birthday earlier this month. Seeing as there are numerous unflattering lawsuits against him, it’s surprising to see Diddy resurfacing on social media. Interestingly, his shoutout to his children’s mother isn’t the only Instagram activity blogs are taking note of.

A report from The Jasmine Brand reveals that, while on the app, the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist appears to have been creeping on one of his exes, Gina Huynh. The Bad Boy mogul is markedly following her on IG again after she reportedly previously blocked him. In May, the model was cutting Diddy off from her life, though that’s obviously no longer true.

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

This time last year, she and Yung Miami were in a nasty catfight over Combs, after Huynh taunted the City Girl with a loved-up photo of them on her Story. “Gina you been down bad ever since I came into the picture h*e!” the Caresha Please host dissed Diddy’s ex on Twitter in December 2022. “You been crying for a baby for 10 yrs h*e you been around as a b*tch that eat p*ssy and d*ck when he feel like it YOU A EATER!! you the same b*tch that was crying on Tasha cause you wanted a baby poor sushi!!!!”

At this time, Gina Huynh hasn’t returned Diddy’s social media follow, and we’re curious to see if she ever will. Amid Cassie’s harrowing allegations against the music mogul, a throwback video of the socialite detailing abuse she allegedly endured at the hands of her ex surfaced online. Revisit that footage at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

GloRilla Breaks Silence On Blocking Kai Cenat

by

GloRilla is an artist who had an incredibly fast rise to fame. However, over the past few months, there has been this turnaround from fans. Overall, it seems like her critics are louder than ever. Moreover, when she drops a song that features questionable choices, fans are extremely quick to pile on. This is exactly what happened with the track “Cha Cha Cha.” It became viral on social media, and not for the best reasons. Even Kai Cenat weighed in, albeit in a manner that was pretty harsh.

As it turns out, Glo was actually kind of offended by Kai’s commentary. She ended up blocking the streamer, and the entire incident played out live. Kai was on Twitch streaming to his viewers when he mentioned how he is always real with how he feels. That’s when he made the claim that artists like GloRilla know it is all love. However, when he went to her Instagram page, he quickly realized he was blocked. Now, it seems like the rapper is speaking out on her decision.

GloRilla Speaks Out

“Don’t come on my Live asking me about nobody I done blocked,” she said. “They blocked and they gonna stay there. You made your bed you gotta lay there.” Simply put, she doesn’t like it when people talk badly about her music. It landed Cenat in the dog house, and he will likely never get out. Even if he apologizes, it is not a certainty that she will give his follow-up. Either way, this all just goes to show that many artists are hypersensitive about their craft. They are always watching, and they will remember what you say.

With that being said, let us know what you think of the way GloRilla handled this, in the comments section below. Was she in the wrong for blocking Cenat? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on your favorite artists.

Lil Yachty Begs Nicki Minaj To Unblock Him: “I’m Actually A Huge Fan”

by

Lil Yachty loves Nicki Minaj’s work and artistry- and he’d love to talk to her about it if she would actually listen. During a recent episode of his podcast with Mitch, A Safe Place (with special guest Arrogant Tae), he revealed that she still has him blocked on social media. Moreover, the Atlanta artist made another public plea to the Queen to let bygones be bygones. For those unaware, this stems from his loyalty to Cardi B in the two femcees’ feud, or at least that’s what’s likely the case, as she’s never outright confirmed this. As the Let’s Start Here. creative made his case, he made it clear that his loyalty doesn’t indicate that those who don’t receive it are his enemies.

“You know Nicki got me blocked?” Lil Yachty remarked to Tae, who spoke on his admiration of Minaj. “You know what’s cr*zy? I’m actually a huge Nicki Minaj fan. I think she’s great. And I’ma take a second in time, to- again, for maybe the third time- address Nicki. I would love for you to unblock me because I am a genuine fan.” Also, he apologized to the Trinidadian MC and said he didn’t mean to “ruffle her feathers,” and Tae said he’d text Nicki with his cosign of the idea- that is, if Yachty didn’t “do anything cr*zy.”

Lil Yachty Addresses Nicki Minaj Tension On A Safe Place: Watch

Back in 2018, the 26-year-old told TMZ that he’d love to work with the “Super Freaky Girl.” However, he said that he had to be loyal to his then-Quality Control label mate Cardi B and would have to turn the collab down, since this was at the height of their beef following an alleged brawl at the 2018 Met Gala. “The thing about that was, I think, I’m just big on loyalty,” Lil Yachty told TMZ in 2021. “I got a lot of love for Cardi B and she’s a damn-near family members so I’ll do whatever. I’m gonna ride. But I never- I’ve loved Nicki Minaj since I was a child.

“Yesterday I went on Twitter to retweet my tweets from middle school of me praising Nicki,” he continued. “And then I went on Instagram Live to let the world know Nicki Minaj has me blocked. I even hit Drake, I’m like, ‘Yo Drake, tell Nicki I love her. I love her to death.’ I checked this morning, I’m still blocked.” For more news and updates on Nicki Minaj and Lil Yachty, stick around on HNHH.

by

No matter how many times she’s been knocked down throughout he career, Doja Cat has always managed to pick herself back up again. The California-born beauty has often ranted about wanting to walk away from the industry due to the constant pressure that comes with fame. Nevertheless, she’s gearing up to give us the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s Planet Her album, most recently dropping off her “Attention” single. Reception to her latest release has been relatively good, however, Doja’s supporters are dropping like flies now that they’re aware of her new relationship.

Earlier in the summer, the “Say So” hitmaker was spotted on a yacht with J. Cyrus – a lesser-known creative with some harrowing allegations coming out against him. As social media users have been expressing their concern and sharing stories with Doja about their own negative experiences with her man, she’s reportedly been blocking them, likely to preserve her peace of mind.

Doja Cat Protecting Her Peace Online

“Sorry Doja Cat for letting [you] know [your] ma had abused and taken advantage of so many women,” a distraught Twitter user wrote along with a screenshot showing that they’re unable to see the 27-year-old’s profile. “Let’s not say how he was in mine and other minors at the time DMs’, but [thank you] for listening <3. It’s not like I was also a huge fan of yours.”

Besides that tweet, there are thousands of others pouring out, causing Doja to trend. “Doja Cat is crashing out over a man… A man who happens to be [a] sexual predator? Ladies… What y’all got going????” one bewildered person asked. “There ain’t no music good enough for an artist to act the way Doja Cat acts lol,” another chimed in, clearly growing tired of the constant drama.

SZA Has Jay Electronica Blocked

by

A strange “beef” of sorts recently popped up, and many believe it’s because of differing astrological beliefs, believe it or not. Moreover, Jay Electronica recently revealed that SZA apparently has him blocked on social media, although he didn’t elaborate much as to why. Regardless, he made the revelation on a bar from his most recent guest verse on one of the most anticipated short releases in hip-hop this year. This week, Swizz Beatz released his Hip Hop 50: Vol. 2 EP on Friday (April 21), which also includes Lil Wayne, Benny The Butcher, Lil Durk, Nas, and more. Specifically, Jay appears on the track “Khalas,” where the MC also addresses the reception to his Jay-Z collab project A Written Testimony.

“I did an album with Hov, lames let all their hate vent,” Jay Electronica raps on the track. “So I fell back three years like, ‘Go ahead, be great then’ / I popped out with Flygod, I popped out on ‘Donda’ / I popped out with Russ, then Vic Mensa and then Ambré / I popped up at Spades and I popped up at Vandals / And my sister keep asking why I got blocked by Solana [SZA].”

Jay Electronica Reveals SZA Blocked Him On “Khalas”

Of course, SZA and Jay Electronica haven’t had any public exchanges or interactions, especially on social media. As such, fans looked to the only time that their two names popped up simultaneously from one party or the other. That came from one of the New Orleans rapper’s Twitter rants, where he asked many in the music industry whether they believe in God. While SZA, Earl Sweatshirt, Questlove, and many others received a mention and question from Jay Electron’, Diddy was the only one to answer.

Also, some fans and outlets theorized that Jay Electronica’s criticism of astrology might have rubbed SZA- an avid believer from what her social media presence indicates- the wrong way. “Motherf***ers will tell you mercury is in retrograde and don’t even have a telescope,” he wrote in his tweet barrage. “Naw, I’m good. Salaam Alaikum.” However, this is all speculation at the end of the day. Maybe other behind the scenes factors hidden from the public contributed to this blocking. After all, it could just be a very innocent or inconsequential reason, as well. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on SZA and Jay Electronica.
