Jay Electronica Claims Kanye West’s “Bound 2” Was Inspired By Him

February 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jay Electronica is a staunch supporter of Kanye West, whether it’s during his highest highs or his lowest lows. In fact, the two have kept up a pretty close relationship over the years, so it’s no surprise that the two would inspire and contribute to each other’s work. Ye shouted him out on “Saint Pablo” off 2016’s… you guessed it, The Life Of Pablo, and Electron’ was a feature on his 2021 album Donda, specifically the cut “Jesus Lord.” However, it seems like this bond might go deeper and even further back, as given a new tweet from the New Orleans MC around Friday (February 8), he might be responsible for one of Yeezy’s biggest hits.

“#truestories,” Jay Electronica began his message on the social media platform concerning the point of inspiration he offered Kanye West. “So when I was living in London, Ye and Virgil came to my house and stayed for a few days and I played them ‘FatbellyBella’ aka ‘Life on Mars’ and they eventually used that same melody line and sample for ‘Bound 2.’ Go listen.” Both songs sample the 1977 record “Aeroplane (Reprise)” by Wee. Unfortunately, Jay never hopped on the remix, something that Kanye invited him to do for his collab with The Game, “Eazy.”

Actually, there are a lot of instances in which these two MCs could’ve collaborated, but it just didn’t end up panning out. A relatively recent example is from back in 2020, when Jay Electronica geared up to release his studio debut, ct II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn). Kanye West was supposed to make the tracklist as a feature, but given what Jay said during this process, they couldn’t get permission cleared in time for the release. At least “Jesus Lord” came the very next year, so folks praying on a link-up could get their reward.

Meanwhile, both look forward to projects, apparently. You all probably know about Vultures, but Jay has another album on the way, reportedly titled Bismillah Boys, that he’s been teasing for a long time. Given both their incredible skill, plus their fair share of controversies and backlash for antisemitic remarks, either release will surely be a pretty dense dive. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West and Jay Electronica.

Chrisean Rock Claims Snapchat Earns Her Close To $1 Million Every Week

January 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock is back online, folks, and she made many online users do a double take when they saw she accompanied her on-and-off-again flame Blueface to turn himself in, apparently for probation violations. What’s more is that she even took their son Chrisean Jr. with them. Amid this apparent reconciliation which fans are worried about, the former Baddies star is making more wild claims about her life, success, and day-to-day. During her recent Instagram livestream over this past weekend, she claimed that she makes almost a million dollars a week off her Snapchat page alone, which her team also helps to manage.

“I make like roughly $22,000/$23,000 every four, five hours on Snapchat,” Chrisean Rock posited. “That’s why you see all the celebrities back on Snapchat because they been paying us to get back on there. I guess Snapchat trying to not go out of business.” Furthermore, the math suggests that she could make between anywhere between $735,000 and $966,000 every week, almost $4 million a month, and roughly $40 million a year. Of course, a lot of fans called cap on this, especially given the Baltimore native’s questionable financial claims in the past.

However, despite all this, she still took some time to comment on what she believes is unfair pay for Black female reality stars. “I’ve already made it clear, I’m not going back to Baddies,” Chrisean Rock shared, seemingly during the very same IG Live session. “I was going to, but I’m starting to stick to if somebody not paying me my value or if you don’t want to pay the fee for me to pull up, that’s cool, I’m not pulling up. I hate that for us young Black women. We not really getting valued in this industry.”

Meanwhile, perhaps Chrisean will find more wild success within the music industry and find another huge source of revenue. After all, she already released tracks, and recently remixed Sexyy Red’s “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad).” We wonder what could’ve compelled Rock to write that verse… Jokes aside, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chrisean Rock.

Keefe D Claims Diddy Put Hit On Tupac For $1M In New Audio Used In Court

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Keefe D’s court case for the murder of Tupac Shakur has plenty of other suspects in its sights, especially from the defense’s side. Moreover, on Thursday (January 11), his lawyers submitted a tape of him claiming that Diddy offered him a million dollars to murder the West Coast legend, according to The U.S. Sun. However, the clip reportedly doesn’t feature the Bad Boy mogul at all, but rather Keefe (real name Duane Davis) laughing about his alleged involvement with Vegas police. Apparently, Sean Combs wanted ‘Pac and Suge Knight taken care of because tensions between the East Coast and West Coast had reached an all-time high.

Furthermore, this follows other accusations that Diddy had something to do with this whole debacle. For example, L.A.P.D. Detective Greg Kading did so back in 2011, also alleging that Suge put out the hit on Biggie Smalls. “We got Keffe D’s back up against the wall,” he recalled to HipHopDX around this time, explaining how they began to put the pieces of the story together. While this is purely speculative, it’s also to show for just how long rumors like these have dominated hip-hop conversations and gossip mills.

“He explained to us that him and his nephew, [Orlando Anderson], and the rest of that little Crip entourage, committed the murder of Tupac out in Las Vegas,” Kading continued of Keefe D and Diddy’s involvement. “Then he explains that the conspiracy to commit the murder of Tupac had developed in Los Angeles during his conversations with Puffy Combs. We realized now that we had some legitimate ownership of [Tupac’s case, too]. Even though the murder took place in Las Vegas, and technically it was their investigation, since the conspiracy to murder happened in our jurisdiction, it gave us a legitimate cause to investigate it.

“Since now we had the star witness, [Keefe D], and now we needed to protect him in order to further the investigation to take it up to where it’s tied to the other conspirators, we needed to really protect that aspect of the case,” he went on. “Because if it got out, ‘Hey, Keefe D’s cooperating,’ or anything like that, well, you can imagine that would’ve interfered with the ongoing investigation.” For what it’s worth, Puff Daddy’s denied any and all accusations when it comes to this. For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, Keefe D, and Tupac Shakur, stick around on HNHH.

Lil Baby Returns To The Studio While Lil D Claims He Watches His Videos

December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby is hard at work on his new album, although he might have to account for some new listeners now that he’s been allegedly exposed. Moreover, adult content creator Lil D recently claimed to Adam22 of No Jumper that he found out that the rapper actually watches his videos. Apparently, a common associate of both men knows that Baby watched some of her videos with D before getting together, something that she later told the latter. It’s quite the bizarre flex to make, but nevertheless, it’s a way to market oneself and whatever one does through a big celebrity co-sign. It’s just not exactly the type of thing that the Atlanta native would probably be a proud fan of.

Furthermore, Lil Baby would have to try really hard to avoid Lil D, considering that he’s now roped into Adam22 and Lena The Plug’s relationship dynamic. They made adult content together and now seem quite close, so it definitely hasn’t been as beef-heavy as the Jason Luv situation. Still, this causes a lot of debate among social media users, commentators, and the like. That’s something that unfortunately is not likely to go away anytime soon.

In other news, Lil Baby recently caught some heat for continuing to allegedly (and borderline subliminally) diss Gunna on his new music drops, something that Young Thug’s father doesn’t appreciate. “He need to shut the f**k up,” Jeffery Williams Sr. expressed during a new YouTube interview with Infamous Sylvia. “Because he don’t know what’s going on. You know he’s going off what he heard. Ask Lil Baby have he ever came to a court date. That’s what I want y’all to ask these goddamn rappers and these bloggers with this whole snitch s**t.” Baby replied in comments of coverage of this with “IYKYK,” implying that his answer to that question might be more knowledgeable than Williams Sr. assumes.

Meanwhile, it’s the holiday season, so the 29-year-old probably just wants to be with family and have a wholesome time. Maybe this bit of wild claims and connections can wait until the new year. If not, then we’ll see if he ever responds to allegedly being a big Lil D fan. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news and updates on Lil Baby.

Suge Knight Hacked On Social Media Accounts, He Claims

December 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight recently spoke to TMZ about his wild social media activity as of late, and came through with an explanation. While he claimed to have control of his Instagram account during his 28-year prison sentence, he said that someone hacked his Facebook and Twitter accounts. Moreover, the Death Row boss believes that this impostor “is out to destroy his reputation by hacking into his Twitter and FB accounts.” Overall, he can’t really identify why as of yet– if this is to be believed– but one could imagine that someone just wants to see him involved in a lot more drama than he is right now.

Furthermore, these social media posts on other accounts have started to take shots at other artists on the Row and other rap rivals. For example, one Twitter post included a picture of Suge Knight allegedly playing with Diddy’s son Justin Combs at the height of the East Coast and West Coast beef. Another is a snapshot of Snoop Dogg in a neck brace with the caption “@SnoopDogg if I didn’t have security on him in 1995.” According to the outlet, he wants to lock or fully delete these accounts altogether, for which he and his team are fighting to secure access.

Meanwhile, we know that Suge Knight’s never been shy about speaking his mind, so for him to say that his statements were hacked is a big thing to clarify. Via the Collect Call podcast, there have been so many instances of absurd tales, hefty accusations, and a lot of double take moments. One of his most recent claims had to do with Jimmy Iovine, the head on Interscope Records, and Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur. Apparently, they fought over the rest of ‘Pac’s music, and then Interscope tried to turn her against the California executive over her son’s death.

With that in mind, what do you think about these recent claims concerning these social media accounts? Did these posts seem fishy to you from the get-go or is Suge just trying to cover up his usual antics? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Suge Knight.

Jadakiss Blasts Casino For Alleged Racial Profiling After They Kick Him Out

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jadakiss is one of the most enduring and consistently great rappers in the culture, and a staple of lyricism and work ethic. Still, not everyone is caught up to this reality, and a casino staff recently got his staunch ire for treating him with alleged disdain. Moreover, the New York MC called out The Nomad in Las Vegas after they kicked him out as he gambled for unknown reasons. While he was spending and losing) a lot of money, the venue workers still asked him to leave, which was a bizarre interaction. The LOX legend remarked on his absurd wealth when commenting on his desire to never return, and even alluded to racism being the driving force behind this act.

“That was nasty,” the person behind the camera said in the video below. “Don’t worry about it, we at 5 million, don’t worry. We good, go.” “Don’t ever gamble at The Nomad ever again!” Jadakiss stated in the clip. “Last Usher show is tomorrow, I don’t know what happened. I’ve been gambling in here since Wednesday, I’m a tax-paying citizen. I’ve been losing my shirt, socks, everything! They coming to me at the end of the night talking about, ‘I need your…’ I didn’t lose that much, and I didn’t win nothing! Is this racial profiling? I’m out of here, I’m never coming back. And I’m a millionaire.“

Jadakiss Left Furious After Casino Kicks Him Out: Watch

Even though Jada has an incredible career, he also has plenty of moments like these that are more frustrating– just like anyone else has them. In fact, he recently recalled his worst show ever to Dave East, which was more embarrassing than angering in comparison to this moment. “It was probably our first European tour, late ’90s in London and I ran out of underwear,” the 48-year-old recalled. “One of my homies from my block here lived in London too. So I’m like, ‘Yo Nerf, I need some boxers for the show. He’s like, ‘Don’t worry I got you.’ We looking and there’s nothing, though. I had a pair of Speedos. I had the worst s**ts ever. It was my worst show ever in life. I felt horrible.”

Meanwhile, at least he’s enjoying a lot of shows today. The D-Block affiliate recently gave 50 Cent his flowers and praised his The Final Lap Tour. Let’s just hope that he doesn’t forget this incident the next time they invite him to gamble after a concert. For more news and the latest updates on Jadakiss, come back to HNHH.

Diddy Broke Kim Porter’s Nose, Ex-Bad Boy Member Mark Curry Alleges

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s legal battles and accusations of worrisome behavior continue, whether from unrelated artists or people close in the Bad Boy circle. This latest claim comes from the latter camp, specifically former label artist Mark Curry, who alleged that the record mogul broke Kim Porter’s nose once while they were together. Not only that, but these were claims that previously emerged in Sean Combs’ former bodyguard Gene Deal’s interview with The Art Of Dialogue, who asked Curry about it in the first place. In addition, his former signee claimed that he also wiretapped Porter’s phone, which was another bad sign of controlling behavior and rampant jealousy.

“Busted her nose, man,” Mark Curry said of Diddy and Kim Porter. “It was all insecurities. Anytime a man would go out of his way to wiretap someone’s phone or put taps in their home just to monitor their conversations, that’s a sign of insanity. So, when you see someone doing that, you can imagine everything else they do. What do you think he’s gon’ do if he found her on the phone talking to someone or feels that she’s cheating on him with somebody sleeping with his girl? What you think he’s gon’ say? ‘I caught you. I heard this.’ Nah, he gonna come in– it’s gonna be a fight.

Mark Curry Claims Kim Porter Got A Broken Nose From Diddy: Watch

“I think he’s very capable of doing it,” Mark Curry added regarding the multiple lawsuits against Diddy. “It’s in his character, that’s who he is. That’s what comes with power, that’s what comes with arrogance. That’s what comes with what makes him, that’s the selfishness that makes you be like that. He’s being humbled right now. It took a long time. It takes a long time to humble an arrogant person.”

Meanwhile, other figures in Puff Daddy’s life who spoke out against him during this time either left social media altogether or haven’t found the audience and reach they probably wanted. Of course, it’s impossible to tell what’s going to captivate people and what people are going to ignore. In this case, we can only hope that this doesn’t all get swept under the rug without fair scrutiny. For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, come back to HNHH.

Latto Believes She Is The Top Female Rapper From Atlanta

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

We continuously mention how dense the population is in the female rap scene. It is especially so, because of the rise of TikTok and viral hits. One of the artists to really come up in that time frame was Latto. However, she is steadily separating herself from the pack of one-hit wonders. Her popularity is rising because of the amount of quality tracks she has out. The Ohio native has a lot of talent to compete with some of the veterans in the game like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and others. Latto herself is starting to recognize that now it seems as the days go on.

One thing she can have that no one else can say they possess is the fastest song to a billion streams on Spotify. While she did not accomplish this feat on her own, Latto deserves just as much credit for it. The Atlanta-raised artist teamed up with BTS superstar, Jung Kook, for “Seven.” It took the crossover duo only three and a half months. Latto was extremely thankful for the opportunity for a lot of reasons.

Latto Is Oozing Confidence

A post shared by XXL (@xxl)

After all of this success, at such a young age as well, she has every right to feel confident in her abilities. That is what she expressed in a recent feature interview with XXL. “Am I the First Lady of Atlanta? I do feel like I’m the frontrunner for female rap in Atlanta. I will say that. I agree with it. Yeah, I think I am.” However, she still remained humble. “I think there’s a lot more work to be done for it to be cemented. There’s definitely a lot more work.” Congratulations to Latto on all of her success, she is going to be around for a long time.

What are your initial thoughts on Latto stating that she is the best female rapper from Atlanta? Is she the best female rapper going right now? What songs do you like the most by here? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Adele Claims To Be Married To Rich Paul Again During A Recent Comedy Show

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the biggest and most beloved pop and soul stars of this generation, Adele is always someone who loves to tease her fans. It is an endearing part of her personality and a lot of people have supported her throughout her career. She is also an inspiring figure, especially after her incredible weight loss journey. Adele is a role model for many young women. It makes sense why she is currently coupled up with maybe the top sports agent in the world, Rich Paul. A Cleveland, Ohio native through and through, he adopted the blue-collar mentality as a young man and now runs one of the most successful sports agencies, that being Klutch Sports.

These two successful stars have been together for about two years and have constantly hinted at engagement and marriage. Rich Paul left it up to everyone’s imagination after an interview back in September with CBS Mornings. Adele also did it at a recent show of hers. Now, we have another nugget that this could happen any day now.

Did Adele Tie The Knot!?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

According to Economic Times and Jasmine Brand, she was in attendance at one of her close friend’s comedy shows in Los Angeles. Alan Carr is his name, and he also hails from the UK. What got people buzzing at the show was this question posed. Carr asked if anyone had said “I do” lately, and Adele shouted out that she had done just that. Deuxmoi shared some submissions of people who were also at the event and they detailed that part of the show. On face value, this seems fishy. Especially because Adele was at the relatively private show of a dear friend. There is certainly a chance that these two planned this portion of the show ahead of time to get people riled up about her relationship with Paul. This is all speculation of course, but it could be something to keep in mind.

What are your initial thoughts on Adele claiming she and Rich Paul said their “I do’s?” Do you think is just something to get people talking or do you buy it? Do you agree with us that this could have been planned in advance? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Metro Boomin Claims That Andre 3000 Played The Flute On “Mask Off”

November 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Andre 3000’s new jazz, new age, ambient, and flute-heavy behemoth New Blue Sun is here- his first solo album ever. What’s more is that, even though this isn’t a hip-hop album, his press run for it with NPR and GQ actually yielded some pretty interesting discussions and reflections from him on the genre. Even though 3 Stacks isn’t putting out rap music of his own, he’s definitely still tapped into what’s going on right now. In fact, he’s much more in the know than you might think, so much so that he might’ve contributed to one of the biggest rap hits of the 2010s decade.

Moreover, during what seems to be Future’s birthday celebration, Metro Boomin played their collab “Mask Off.” Before letting it drop, though, he had the following bombshell claim- or, most likely, a very timely and funny joke- to say to the crowd. “Yo, I’m letting you know Andre 3000 played the flute on this motherf***er!” the producer said with a smile. Though the chances of this being true are very slim, and it seems like a light-hearted and respectful jest, the Outkast member did say he has secret performance credits on other artist’s songs. So, who knows; Metro might just be flexing on us.

Metro Boomin Plays With Fan Expectations & Invokes Andre 3000 Flute Card: Watch

“I’ve actually played some wind things that I’ve put out in the world,” Andre 3000 told GQ. “I called myself another name under different artists that are out there that, you know, I was just kinda testing it out in a way. From known artists, and they’ve been cool about keeping it secret.” Perhaps Metro Boomin finally broke that rule, but don’t get your hopes up: he knows exactly how people will hear a flute nowadays and think of the legendary MC.

Meanwhile, the St. Louis native still has his collaborative album with Future in the cards, which he’s been very excited about teasing. Maybe this is where Andre Benjamin will reconnect with his Dungeon Family colleague, and actually contribute a flute to a Metro beat. Jokes aside, it’s good to know that the HEROES & VILLAINS mastermind is up to date with the memes. For more news and the latest updates on Andre 3000 and Metro Boomin, stay up to date on HNHH.
