Kendrick Lamar Fans Blame Drake For Latest Bizarre Bot Attack

by

Last summer, Pusha T fell victim to a barrage of bots on Twitter/X, which targeted him with a slew of bizarre posts. The posts included outlandish claims, strange altered images, and more. It wasn’t long before fans started to speculate about the cause of the attack, and ultimately, settled on Drake. Due to their longwinded feud, as well as various posts including Drake-related hashtags, it only made sense that the Toronto-born performer could have spearheaded the attack in some way.

Now, yet another artist has come under fire on the platform, Kendrick Lamar. Twitter/X is currently flooded with countless wild posts about the performer. “Kendrick Lamar is Oprah Winfrey’s adrenochrome plug,” one of the posts reads. “Kendrick Lamar has an iPhone 6 with the screen cracked,” another says.

Social Media Users Recall Pusha T’s Bot Attack

Obviously, none of these claims are confirmed, nor is Drake’s involvement in the debacle. Either way, fans are convinced. After all, Kendrick did just recently drag both Drake and J. Cole on a new track with Future and Metro Boomin, “Like That.” Drizzy’s yet to properly address the diss, though he’s speculated to have a response on the way. He’s set to appear on a track called “Olympic S*** Talkin” on Bfb Da Packman’s new album Forget Me Not which arrives this Friday (March 29). Of course, listeners expect to hear him take at least a few shots at Kendrick.

Kendrick also may have a Drake diss track at the ready, at least according to streamer Adin Ross. He’s yet to say anything publicly about his explosive We Don’t Trust You verse. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar fans speculating that Drake is behind this latest bot attack? Do you think they’re on to something, or is it a reach?

Pusha T Targeted By Bots, Fans Think Drake Is Behind It

by

Pusha T has fallen victim to a barrage of bots on Twitter recently, that have now made thousands of bizarre posts about the performer. The countless posts feature fake claims, and typically strange edited images of him. Most of the posts are relatively harmless, while others are pretty derogatory. “Pusha T fled to Barcelona after getting caught sneaking feet pics of minors,” one of the posts reads. Another one says, “Pusha T reveals he wishes he was a salamander.”

Though it remains unclear why exactly he was targeted, social media users have some guesses. Many suggest that Drake could be behind the strange posts, as they’re known to have beef. Many of the posts also include hashtags like #ScaredOfThe6 or the title of Drizzy’s upcoming album, #ForAllTheDogs. It’s not the first time the Canadian performer has been accused of having bots go after the rapper. Another swarm of bots targeted him just last month, and fans jokingly suggested that Drake was responsible.

Bots Make Fake Claims About Pusha T

It remains unconfirmed whether or not Drake is actually behind the slew of posts, and Pusha T has yet to address the situation publicly. Regardless, social media users appears to be getting pretty annoyed with the whole debacle. Luckily, however, it looks like the rapper doesn’t usually let hate get to him. In an interview with GQ earlier this month, he shared his perspective on those throwing negativity his way.

“You have to look at who’s the talker,” he explained. “When you look at who’s the talker and you look at what they’ve done and who they are and what they offer to you, it’s funny. I’ve been in this game for a minute, and I’ve watched the game, and I’ve watched people at their highs and at their lows. And, mind you, most people are chasing things I’ve never chased in hip-hop.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Pusha T.

Nike Responds To Claims That Bots Are Responsible For SNKRS App Ls

by

Nike is one of the biggest sportswear brands in the entire world. However, they are certainly not exempt from the pitfalls of online retail. For instance, in recent years, there has been an influx of bots that are used to scoop up inventory. This is used to buy shoes, video game consoles, and even graphics cards for computers.

The bot phenomenon has been hard to stop. Overall, bots are tricky things. Engineers are constantly working on new ones that can work around bot protection. No matter what Nike does to combat the issue, they have to continuously stay up to date with new technology in order to keep consumers protected.

Nike Speaks Out On Bots

Despite all of this hard work, Nike is still being accused of allowing bots on its platforms. For instance, SNKRS App releases tend to sell out extraordinarily fast. Consequently, this has led to various accusations that the brand is allowing bots to buy up the stock.

According to Baller Alert, Nike is now clapping back at these claims. In a new blog post, Nike revealed that they have numerous protections in place against bots. For instance, the website is capturing about 12 billion bot inputs per month. This number is insane, and it’s clear that the brand wants to make an example out of those who use these tools.

Additionally, the company said that when a bot does slip through the cracks, they immediately cancel the order and put the stock back in the system. Needless to say, the brand wants fans to get their shoes. Overall, the brand simply believes that the laws of supply and demand are contributing to the numerous SNKRS App Ls people get.

Let us know what you think of Nike’s response, in the comments below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sneaker world.
