Wu-Tang Clan Hints At New Album Potentially Dropping In 2025

by

The Wu-Tang Clan is set to bring their Las Vegas residency back this weekend with two shows at the Theater at Virgin Hotels. During a recent chat with TMZ, Cappadonna, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck revealed which song is their favorite to perform together. They all agreed on “Triumph,” though Ghostface Killah noted that they all serve their own purposes.

They were then asked about their plans for next year, prompting them to tease a potential new album. According to Ghostface Killah, they intend on dropping something together “soon.” He says that fans need to be patient, however, as they all have busy schedules they’ll need to work around in order to get it done.

Wu-Tang Clan Discusses What’s To Come

“It’s gonna be easy, ’cause this is what we do,” he explained. “The music, the soul, everything… Hip hop never left us.” These hints arrive after the drama surrounding the group’s one-of-one album, Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. It was previously sold to Martin Shkreli, who was its sole owner until 2021 when he was arrested for alleged security fraud. The U.S. government confiscated it, and eventually, digital art company PleasrDAO bought it. It was later released in fragments as NFTs, a decision controversial among both fans and group members.

During an interview with Vanity Fair in July, for example, Method Man opened up about some of the issues he had with the project. According to him, most of the Wu-Tang Clan was not let in on the rollout plans. “I thought it was some circus spectacle,” he told the outlet at the time. “I never really spoke to RZA about it. It’s an uncomfortable subject to most of the guys, so we don’t really discuss it too much.” What do you think of Wu-Tang teasing the idea of dropping an album in 2025? Are you looking forward to it? What about their Las Vegas residency? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

DJ Akademiks Reacts To Drake’s Tour Numbers Beating Kendrick Lamar’s

by

Recently, a list of the top ten highest-grossing rap tours surfaced on Reddit. According to the list, Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour comes out on top with $320.5 million. Kendrick Lamar’s “Big Steppers” tour is next on the list at $110.9 million. They’re followed by 50 Cent’s “Final Lap” tour, the “Aubrey & the Three Migos” tour, Travis Scott’s “Circus Maximus” tour, and more.

DJ Akademiks decided to react to the list on stream recently, predicting that Travis Scott’s tour will eventually take over Kendrick’s position on the list. According to him, Drake’s higher ticket prices also explain the large difference in his and Kendrick’s gross earnings. “That’s all this means, Drake’s just charging an exorbitant amount of money,” he said.

Ak also suggested that more current tours made the list due to inflation, and the fact that people are paying more and more to see live music. While these numbers don’t necessarily come as a surprise, they serve as a reminder of Drake’s massive commercial success. They also bring up some ongoing rumors that Live Nation has forced a rigorous touring schedule on Drake. Alleged text messages between him and his ex Jhonni Blaze leaked online earlier this week amid a spat with her former friend Ghetto Barbie. “Right now my life is on slave to live nation mode,” he allegedly wrote in one of the texts. This was seemingly followed by a laughing emoji, indicating that it could have been nothing more than a joke. It appears to support the rumors either way, however, and might potentially explain his impressive tour earnings.

What do you think of this new list of the highest-grossing rap tours? Are you surprised that Drake surpassed Kendrick Lamar or not? What do you think about DJ Akademiks’ reaction to the list? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Reginald VelJohnson Shuts Down Rumor He Slept With Diddy: “Get A Life”

by

Earlier this year, comedian Luce Cannon alleged that he once walked in on Diddy having sex with none other than Family Matters star Reginald VelJohnson. Of course, the unfounded rumor spread like wildfire. It even prompted big reactions from the likes of 50 Cent, Charlamagne Tha God, Andrew Shulz, and more. According to VelJohnson, however, there’s absolutely zero truth to the story.

Recently, TMZ Hip Hop spotted him leaving Dancing with the Stars rehearsals in LA. They took the opportunity to ask him to weigh in on the rumor. He didn’t mince words, making it clear that he’s not a fan of the salacious headlines featuring his name. “That’s all bullsh*t,” he explained. “I don’t know that man, never met him before. I wish him well though.” As for what he had to say to those spreading the rumors, he told them all to “get a life.”

Reginald VelJohnson Confirms That Wild Diddy Rumors Are Total “Bullsh*t”

Of course, VelJohnson’s response comes shortly after Diddy was arrested in New York City following months of lawsuits and shocking allegations. He’s facing sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and recently, his attorney Marc Agnifilo confirmed that he plans to take the stand when the case goes to trial. “I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,” Agnifilo says in the upcoming TMZ Studios documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment. “I think he is very eager to tell his story and I think he will tell every part of his story, including what you see on the video. So I expect it’s going to be explained by the both of us.” 

Currently, the Bad Boy Records founder is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. What do you think of Reginald VelJohnson’s response to rumors that he slept with Diddy? Are you surprised that he seemed offended by them? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Luckily, it appears as though nobody was seriously injured, and Miami police told TMZ there were no arrests made.

Wack 100’s Girlfriend Gets His Face Tattooed On Her Back

by

It goes without saying that some will take any opportunity to show off their significant other. Recently, however, Wack 100’s girlfriend Rekeita Bradford Jones took things to the next level. In various clips and photos making their rounds on social media, she’s seen getting a large tattoo of Wack on her back. He recently hopped online to weigh in on the piece, revealing how impressed he is by it.

In a clip, he explains that he knew nothing about her tattoo plans until he dropped her off to get it done. When he walked inside, he couldn’t believe it. “This tattoo she did on her back, this sh*t’s amazing,” he explained. “I’m at awe, I’m lost for words… I tried to try and couldn’t, I’m just happy on the inside.”

Wack 100’s Girlfriend Shows Off New Tattoo

While Wack and Jones appear to be more than pleased with the tattoo, the same can’t be said for fans in The Shade Room‘s comments section. “She lost her whole mind,” one Instagram user claims. “Goofy,” someone else writes. Of course, others are coming to their defense, arguing that it’s their right to flaunt their affection in whatever ways they choose.

Jones is far from the only person to debut a shocking tattoo recently, however. Amid Blueface’s incarceration earlier this year, Chrisean Rock also unveiled a large tattoo of his face on her cheek. Bhad Bhabie and the father of her child Le Vaughn additionally got tattoos of each other’s faces late last month, though she later admitted she wasn’t happy with the result.

Cam took issue with this, and claimed that Sharpe was only willing the listen to the “white man” and was trying to convey that “everybody black is beneath him.” What do you think of Cam’ron dropping a teaser for his new show, Talk With Flee?

Ice Spice Joins Sexyy Red Onstage In New York: Watch

by

It’s been a huge year for both Ice Spice and Sexyy Red. Ice Spice unleashed her debut studio album Y2K, took part in various high-profile collabs, and more. Sexyy Red dropped her third mixtape, In Sexyy We Trust, and has been making her way across the U.S. on her “Sexyy Red 4 President” tour. Recently, the two artists even decided to link up to give their supporters the best of both worlds.

During Sexyy Red’s recent stop in Ice Spice’s hometown, she brought out the Bronx-born rapper for a performance of “Deli.” Of course, the NYC crowd went wild. She shared a fun clip of the moment on Instagram earlier this week, showing herself sporting her signature hairstyle.

Ice Spice Performs “Deli” At Sexyy Red’s Show

While fans were certainly glad to see Sexyy Red team up with Ice Spice, she’s far from the only special guest to join her on tour so far. Earlier this month, she performed in her own hometown of St. Louis and brought out Lil Durk. Kodak Black has also hopped on the tour, resulting in plenty of onstage antics involving him and the “Pound Town” performer. Unfortunately, however, not all of the headlines surrounding Sexyy’s tour have been positive.

In August, it was reported that she canceled multiple tour stops due to low ticket sales. She later denied this, making it clear that she felt like the false reports were an attempt to sabotage her. “Dis how Dey try to do u wen u go wit an independent promoter n the bigger companies try to sabotage u we not cancelling sht,” she explained at the time.

Young Thug Trial: State Witness Could Die On The Stand Due To Health Issues, Lawyer Claims

by

The YSL RICO trial continues, and unfortunately, it still shows no signs of coming to an end. Young Thug has been behind bars for over two years now. At this point, fans are split when it comes to what outcome they expect. Some believe there’s a strong chance the rapper could end up serving much more time. Others remain hopeful that things will work out in his favor.

Young Thug is far from the only person who’s been put through the wringer lately, however. State witness Quindarrius “Lil Dee” Zachary is also locked up on a material witness warrant despite currently dealing with serious medical issues. These issues are so serious, in fact, that his lawyer Dennis Schieb recently told Judge Paige Reese Whitaker that he could die on the stand.

Quindarrius “Lil Dee” Zachary’s Health Issues Take Center Stage In Young Thug Trial

In a clip from the courtroom, Schieb explains that his client is extremely sick with pneumonia and that the medication he’s taking allegedly creates cognitive impairment. Moreover, he claims that Lil Dee’s grandmother passed away a few days ago and that he’d like to attend the funeral. He asked that his client be released, promising that he wouldn’t go anywhere if he was. The clip arrives shortly after Schieb told the judge that his Lil Dee “will not survive” in Fulton County Jail.

“[Prosecutors] want him to testify, and something that he supposedly said years ago, I don’t know if he even remembers it,” he told Atlanta News First earlier this week. “I’ve talked to him. He’s been through so much. He’s been drained physically; he’s been drained mentally. They want him to testify. It’s not worth his life to get up there.” What do you think of Quindarrius “Lil Dee” Zachary’s lawyer claiming that he could die if he must take the stand? What about the prosecutor’s response?

Mase Reacts To Diddy’s Arrest With Unconventional Accessory

by

Ever since Cassie sued him last year, Diddy has been making countless headlines for the long list of shocking allegations made against him by former partners, collaborators, and more. Earlier this week, the Bad Boy Records founder was formally indicted, marking a dramatic and long-awaited turn in his legal saga. He’s been charged with “racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution,” according to TMZ.

Of course, this latest development has evoked big reactions from countless social media users and peers. Some have been incredibly outspoken with their thoughts on the case. Others have been more subtle in their approach to weighing in. Recently, for example, Mase rocked an orange tie to symbolize Diddy’s arrest on It Is What It Is.

Mase Rocks Orange Tie On It Is What It Is

In a clip from the show, Mase cheers to celebrate the highly anticipated arrest. He hesitates to state directly that his tie is a symbol of Diddy’s arrest, however. “It’s just your tie is supposed to say something,” he explained. “It’s saying something? […] It might be code orange, there’s a lot going on these days.” It’s no secret that Mase has his fair share of issues with Diddy, so it’s safe to say he’s glad to see the mogul behind bars.

Currently, he’s being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, which previously housed the likes of R. Kelly, Fetty Wap, Michael Cohen, and even Ghislaine Maxwell. Diddy is seeking release on bail and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. “He’s going to clear his name and we’re going to stand by his side as he does,” his lawyer Marc Agnifilo told reporters outside of the courtroom earlier today per CNN. “We believe in him wholeheartedly.” What do you think of Mase rocking an orange tie on It Is What It Is to represent Diddy’s recent arrest?
