Drake Fan Who Punched Rick Ross Trolls Him With New Diss Track, “White Boy”

August 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Drake fan who punched Rick Ross at a festival in Canada in June has taunted the “Champagne Moments” rapper with a diss track of his own titled, “White Boy.” On the song, the fan, who goes by the name, Icarus, accuses Ross of running for the exits amidst the brawl and leaving his DJ behind. “Capping on the ‘Gram, you was stumbling out the gate / Searching for the exit, left your DJ like some bait / Fed him to the demons, too conceited to explain / You a bird and a bitch, I clipped your wings, stop the games,” Icarus raps.

The incident went down in Vancouver at the Ignite Music Festival after Ross played Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” while leaving the stage. He, as well as Lamar, had been feuding with the Toronto rapper for weeks at that point. He even dissed Drake on “Champagne Moments”

After the scuffle, Ross tried to downplay the severity of the situation on social media. “Aye man, I’m thinking about the event that happened over there,” he said in an Instagram video. “When the first dude stepped up to Rozay, the lil’ short fat one that looked like Bam Bam Bigelow from wrestling. When he stepped up, I squatted down and his eyes had told him what I said. Basically, ‘Boy, if I hit you, I’ma see everything you ate for the last two days.’ His balls dropped out of his ass. He never said another word, he did never did nothing. He was a straight busta.” Check out Icarus’ track, “White Boy,” below.

Dr. Umar Questions Kendrick Lamar’s Intention With “Not Like Us”

July 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dr. Umar discussed the meaning behind Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track, “Not Like Us,” during a recent video on social media. In doing so, he discussed the topic of Pan-Africanism and the idea that Lamar was dissing Black Canadians. He admitted that he felt Lamar was just trying to diss Drake, but asked the Compton rapper for clarification on the situation in response.

“Let me say this to the American African and the Canadian African: We are one people,” he began. “We are one family. We have one common ancestry. We have one common origin. We have one common source. We are the original people. My American Africans, don’t you alienate yourself from Canadian Africans. Canadian Africans, don’t you alienate yourself from American Africans. We are one family. We are the North American Africans.” He added that anyone suggesting otherwise is an “enemy” to himself and African people. Despite not believing Lamar to have intended to say as much, he still asked for his clarification.

When The Art of Dialogue shared the video on X (formerly Twitter), many fans argued that Umar was off base with his assessment of Lamar’s lyrics. “I don’t think he understands what Kendrick was talking about lol,” one user wrote. Another added: “He obviously missed the song Meet The Grahams where Kendrick rapped directly to Adonis calling him a Black Man. No Disrespect was sent to Black Canadians. Please listen to the whole battle and not the snippets.”

Drake Loses $300K After Betting On Canada In Copa America Game

July 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The bad breaks continue for Drake. The bumps and bruises the rapper has taken in the music world have been well documented. In the sports world, however, he hasn’t fared much better. The 6 God bet $500K on the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, and lost. He lost another $500K on the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup. The Drake curse was already working overtime in 2024, and it’s struck again. The rapper lost another staggering amount of money on July 9.

Drake made his confidence in the Canadian soccer team clear the day before. He posted a betting stub on his Instagram Story, confirming that he’d taken betting odds of 9.6-to-1 that his team would triumph over Argentina in the Copa America game. He put down $300K, with potential winnings amounting to $2.88 million. Drake also couldn’t resist poking fun at Argentina’s star, Lionel Messi. “This could get Messi,” he wrote over his ticket. One would assume he wasn’t in a joking mood after Canada lost to Argentina by a score of 2-0.

Drake Has Lost Multiple Sports Bets In 2024

Drake has been an avid supporter of Canadian soccer for years. He included footage of soccer being played in the music video for “Started from the Bottom” in 2013. More recently, the rapper hyped up the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will be held in his hometown of Toronto. “Canada as a whole, we have an incredible melting pot,” he told FIFA President Gianni Infantino. “But in Toronto, there are just so many different cultural experiences. So when the world comes, it’s going to be beautiful.” He also claimed that there was “no passion like football passion.”

The Drake curse has been difficult for the rapper to shed in recent years. The storybook run that the Toronto Raptors had in 2019 quelled some of the criticisms surrounding Drake, but the severe losses he’s taken on major sporting events in 2024 has brought the “curse” talk back with a vengeance. It doesn’t help that Kendrick Lamar accused the rapper of having gambling problems on his scathing “Meet the Grahams” diss. “You got gamblin’ problems, drinkin’ problems, pill-poppin’ and spendin’ problems,” Lamar raps. “Bad with money.”

Drake Puts $300K On Canada Amid Cinderella Copa America Run

July 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is someone who has been placing a lot of sports bets over the past few years. Overall, this has to do with the fact that he is sponsored by Stake. For those who may not be in the know, Stake is an online casino that is known for helping birth the Kick streaming platform. Furthermore, Stake has numerous online casino games, as well as sports betting. Whenever there is a big sporting event, you can be sure that Drake is going to put a few hundred thousand dollars into it.

As it stands, Drake’s home country of Canada is in the Copa America for the very first time. Interestingly enough, the country has been able to defy the odds and make it all the way to the semi-finals of the tournament. Tonight, they will get to take on Lionel Messi and Argentina. To prepare for the match, Drake has decided to place a $300K bet on Canada. Of course, Canada are huge underdogs at 9.6 to 1 odds. That means the star can turn his bet into $2.88 million if Canada pulls off the upset.

Drake Has Faith

A Canada victory on Tuesday night is very unlikely. In the group stage, Argentina defeated Canada by a score of 2-0. However, Canada did hold its own in that game so perhaps they can come through with some magic. If they do, it will most certainly be one of the biggest upsets in the entire history of soccer. We’re sure all of Canada will be watching.

Be sure to let us know what you think of this bet, down in the comments section below. Do you believe that Canada has a chance to defeat Argentina tonight? Who do you believe is going to come away with the Copa America? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Roddy Ricch Denied Access To Canada Years After Drake Helped Him Get Into The Country

July 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Roddy Ricch is an artist who is in the midst of a comeback, and fans are eager to see what he does. Overall, he has delivered two new singles as of late. Firstly, we got “Survivor’s Remorse.” Subsequently, we got “911” which was a nice West Coast banger. Now, we are awaiting The Navy Album, and there is lots of anticipation surrounding the release. Meanwhile, Roddy is attempting to play shows so he can get in front of fans and show them what he’s cooking up.

Unfortunately, over the weekend, Roddy had some real issues while trying to get into Vancouver, British Colombia. If you remember, this is the same city Rick Ross was recently attacked in. Well, in an Instagram, story, Roddy Ricch revealed that the border patrol would not let him in. He noted that every time he comes to Canada, he gets harassed. Consequently, he is officially done with the country. He is no longer interested in trying again, at least not in the foreseeable future.

This subsequently led to a rehash of a 2020 report in which it was revealed how Drake helped Roddy get into Canada. Of course, Roddy was recently at “The Pop Out” which was Kendrick Lamar’s recent West Coast concert. This has some theorizing that perhaps Drake could have had something to do with this. However, there is no concrete proof of that. Instead, the internet is doing what it does best: conjecture.

Let us know what you think about this situation, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Drake might have anything to do with this? What do you make of so many artists getting a hard time whenever they try to enter Canada? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

You don’t like no posts because here’s what happens: there’s always a backlash to it all.”

“You can’t really give your opinion because n*ggas still wanna go to Canada,” he began, “You don’t wanna say something about Drake and now you can’t go to Canada. You got wild n***as in Canada like Pressa, Bun, and Top5.” While Tony Yayo’s claims are still up for debate, he appears to be on to something, at least when it comes to Top5.

“@theweeknd you started doing coke now [you’re] from Compton?” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “Wait till my GGs see you.” The Weeknd has yet to respond to the apparent threat, though social media users have. they immediately clowned him for going after The Weeknd, who didn’t seem to want any smoke.
