Lil Yachty Clarifies Comments On The State Of Hip-Hop

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty caught a lot of flack recently when he came out and said that hip-hop was in a terrible place. Overall, these were comments that got a lot of people upset and understandably so. Yachty has been critical of the genre before, and a lot of people don’t appreciate the things he has said. Furthermore, some have noticed that in certain areas, he has abandoned the genre for psychedelic rock. Of course, this would be a bit of a misinterpretation of things as Yachty still puts out hip-hop tracks in abundance.

That said, with all of the heat on the artist right now, he has decided to come out and explain himself a little bit. He did so on his new podcast called A Safe Place. Overall, this has proven to be a very successful podcast that has allowed fans to get a sense of Yachty’s thoughts on a number of subjects. As it pertains to his recent comments about hip-hop, he decided to look at things from a numbers perspective. Below, you can see him explain how numbers are why hip-hop is where it is right now.

Essentially, Yachty is looking at the fact that hip-hop is no longer the number-one genre in the world. Instead, country and Latin music have surpassed it in terms of sales. This comes after a decade of chart dominance for the genre. Yachty even referenced the time Ebro came out and said that record execs were giving hip-hop artists less money. Essentially, Yachty is looking at this purely from a budget and numbers perspective. As for the art itself, Yachty does believe some have gotten too comfortable with their sound which has led to fatigue from listeners.

Let us know what you think of Yachty’s take, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

D.L. Hughley Says King Harris’ Outburst Was “Insulting”

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This past holiday weekend was maybe a bit up and down for T.I. and his family. He brought his loved ones out to the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons game. It turned out to be a good one, with both vying for possession of first place in the NFC South. The Falcons would emerge victorious, certainly making T.I. a happy camper. However, a family feud went down during the game and it has gone quite viral since it happened on Sunday, November 26. It was recorded on Instagram Live so a ton of eyeballs saw it, including comedian D.L. Hughley.

Another celebrity who caught wind of it was Charleston White. He shared his thoughts on it like he always does with everything that is trending. “God damn it, I told T.I. he should kicked that boy’s a** last year. If T.I. woulda kicked that boy’s a** last year, that boy wouldn’t have had to jack him up today. You had that boy showing out at the Falcon game and embarrassing the family.”

Now, D.L. Hughley has some words about it. He caught up with TMZ Hip Hop at the LAX airport as he called King Harris’ actions “insulting.” He also addressed what T.I.’s son said about growing up in the trap and having roaches crawl over him. In a quite hilarious statement, Hughley says that the only roaches around him were paid actors as he was living a much easier life than he made it seem to be. Seeing as how Hughley has children, he knows that his own would not act like that.

What are your initial thoughts on D.L. Hughley’s comments about King Harris’ freak out at the Atlanta Falcons game this past weekend? Do you think that T.I. and Tiny deserve more blame than King? What can Harris do to correct his own behavior? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Charleston White Chimes In On T.I. And King Harris’ Recent Argument At Falcons Game: Watch

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the veterans in the online world is Charleston White without a doubt. For years he has been dishing out his unfiltered and unashamed opinions. One of the wildest moments looking back at 2023 definitely includes his uncomfortable encounter with Brittany Renner on The Danza Project. It all went down this past August, as the social media starlet and model lashed out at everyone on the set, including White. The clip went absolutely viral all over the internet. Why Renner was so upset had to do with the fact that White said she was playing dirty with the men she was getting with.

Now, Charleston is giving another opinion on a hot topic. This time, it is about T.I. and King Harris’ fight at the Atlanta Falcons game. The reason both of them and the rest of the family were in attendance was because the legendary rapper was going to be performing. But, it was not just for any show, it was for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. Before his show, Harris and his father were going at it on Instagram Live. T.I. said he was embarrassing the family after causing a scene in the stands.

Charleston White Has Something To Say

Of course, White saw this and he had some words for Harris. XXL found the video in which he goes after the son and also comments on T.I.’s parenting. “God damn it, I told T.I. he should kicked that boy’s a** last year. If T.I. woulda kicked that boy’s a** last year, that boy wouldn’t have had to jack him up today. You had that boy showing out at the Falcon game and embarrassing the family.” The video goes on for about four minutes. T.I. has yet to comment on any parts of the situation.

What are your initial thoughts on Charleston White’s comments about the recent argument between T.I., King Harris, and the rest of the family? Do you think his remarks were fair or foul? How would you handle the situation if you were in T.I.’s shoes? 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.

Doja Cat Limits Her Instagram Comments Shares New Photo Dump

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat has long had a turbulent relationship with her fans and haters. Earlier this year she controversially picked a fight with some of her most die-hard fans. She took issue with the fact that they call themselves kittenz, which might have backfired. As a result she lost more than 200k Instagram followers and many of the most popular Doja fan pages deleted or changed their accounts in protest.

That wasn’t even part of the controversy she generated in the months following. During the lead-up to her new album Scarlet she increasingly embraced hellish and demonic imagery. That culminated in her single “Demons” which saw her literally taking on a demonic character. Unsurprisingly, that resulted in a lot of controversy for her. Doja handled it in various different ways, but mainly by doubling down on her actions pretty much every single time they were called into question.

Doja Cat Finally Restricts Comments

Now, Doja has finally taken some action to rid herself of the haters. “everyone lost their privileges for commenting except for people i follow. also atlanta is my fav,” she captioned a new series of photos. The pictures themselves show some highlights from a recent tour stop in Atlanta. But the highlight of the post is Doja’s decision to let only people she follows comment on it. The move is common among stars dealing with some controversy. Just a few weeks ago Justin Timberlake was forced to turn his Instagram comments off entirely while dealing with backlash from Britney Spear’s new memoir.

In the comments, particular fans and friends of the rapper celebrate being included. “me won,” one of the top comments on the post reads. “An achievement my grandparents wouldn’t understand” and “Won the hunger games basically” two other comments read. With the move to limit her comments, she went ahead and limited them for all of her posts meaning fans can’t even return to commenting on old content she’s shared. What do you think of Doja Cat restricting comments on her Instagram? Let us know in the comment section below.

Slim Thug Semi-Apologizes For Comments On Cassie And Diddy, Fans Dig Up Craigslist Sex Ad He Posted

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When there is a big headline a lot of people will feel inclined to chime in and give their two cents. Especially, when there are a vast amount of ways to dissect and analyze it. One of the hottest topics, albeit more serious than what is trending, is the downfall of Diddy and Cassie’s relationship. If you have not been keeping up with it, some rumblings began around late September. Cassie’s new man, Alex Fine, who is a personal trainer, took some shots at the rap mogul’s sexuality.

While it was nothing too ground-shaking, it was still something to keep a bookmark on. Then, on November 16, the true bombshell dropped. Cassie filed a lawsuit against her ex for sexual assault and physical abuse. Over the past few weeks, things have continued to snowball as the situation gets messier and messier by the day. A lot of celebrities, especially 50 Cent have taken aim at the billionaire. However, Texas rapper Slim Thug seems to be blaming Cassie for not taking action when things first started to turn sour. He believes that she was never truly in peril and is looking for money. That elicited fans to clap back and say it is not easy to just speak up and get the authorities involved.

Slim Thug Does Not Look Too Good Right Now

They certainly have a valid argument. Thug has had this thought process before and Cassie’s supporters are fed up with it. The rapper sort of walked back his comments saying he has no hate toward Cassie, he was merely giving his opinion. He says he is not running from anybody and is willing to listen to other people’s takes on the matter. However, a lot of people are not buying it. So, fans have recently dug up an old Craigslist ad from Thug. According to HipHopDX, it was for any woman interested in having a good time with him. It was posted in 2011 after a breakup. The post read, “I’m a 6’6, handsome, rich, black male looking for sex with no strings attached. I just got out of a relationship and looking to get my rocks off.” Thug has not yet replied to this at the time of writing.

What are your initial thoughts on Slim Thug’s commentary on Cassie and Diddy’s relationship? Do you think he crossed a line, or was he fair? Is his apology enough to win people back? Do you remember seeing Thug’s ad on Craigslist back then? 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.

Timbaland Walks Back “Muzzle” Statement About Britney Spears

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A few months ago, producing extraordinaire, Timbaland made some controversial comments during a recent interview. The misogynistic-like statement was given during a live interview with 9th Wonder at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. It took place right before the end of October. What led to putting himself into hot water was that someone asked about the revived buzz around “Cry Me a River.” This is according to Billboard.

This popular song, of course, was produced by Timbaland and landed on Justin Timberlake’s 2002 album, Justified. The renewed talk is due in part because of Britney Spears’ memoir, The Woman in Me. It came out before the interview happened. Timberlake’s album is widely viewed as a response to his splitting with the pop star after dating from 1999-2002. That is when Timbaland made the comment, “She going crazy, right? I wanted to call and say, ‘JT, you gotta put a muzzle on that girl.’” It went viral on social media and after all the backlash, Timbaland decided to issue an apology.

Timbaland Takes It Back

According to Fader, this was his apology. He says, “I’m sorry to all the Britney fans, even to her. I’m sorry because muzzle was—no, you have a voice. You speak what you want to speak. Who am I to tell you what not to speak?” Timbaland continues, “And I was wrong for saying that. I was looking at it from a different lens and what I am is a reconcile person. I’m not a person who takes sides… I apologize to the Britney fans and her.” The reason for him using “muzzle” is because of some serious and personal issues that Britney wanted to reveal to the readers. That includes going through an abortion and more.

What are your initial thoughts on Timbaland apologizing for his comments about Britney Spears? Do you think it will be a situation where he moves on fairly unscathed? Will Britney Spears respond to the producer’s comment, or move on from it? 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 thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Drake Reacts To HNHH Comments On Original “Take Care” Review

October 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake shared a series of comments on HotNewHipHop’s original review of his now-classic album, Take Care, on Instagram, Sunday. The post comes after the release of his newest album, For All The Dogs.

“Reading these comments from when Take Care dropped,” Drake captioned the screenshot with a laughing emoji. One user argued that Thank Me Later was better than Take Care. “Features went harder on TML, classic verses from all of them,” they wrote. “The rapping was better and no track had to be skipped. Take Care has a few I don’t really like… good album but not great.” Others labeled it “weak” and noted they “lost respect” for Drake.

Drake dropped Take Care back in November 2021, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and selling 631,000 copies in its first week. He brought a star-studded list of collaborators to appear on the project including The Weeknd, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and André 3000. It went on to win Best Rap Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Check out the comments from HotNewHipHop on the project that Drake shared below.

Drake Reacts To HNHH’s Comments

Reading criticism of his work is nothing new for Drake. After the release of For All The Dogs, he feuded with Joe Budden, who responded negatively to the project. In a lengthy post on social media, Drake wrote: “@joebudden you have failed at music. You left it behind to do what you are doing in this clip cause this is what actually pays your bills. For any artist watching this just remember you are watching a failure give their opinion on his idea of a recipe for success… a quitter give their opinion on how to achieve longevity…”

Billie Eilish Thirsts After Megan Thee Stallion’s Latest Twerk Video

September 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Billie Eilish and Megan Thee Stallion make music that is about as different as you can imagine for two mainstream superstars. Despite that, they’ve always been pretty big fans of each other. As early as two full years ago a clip of Billie dancing to Megan’s viral hit “Body” was proving that the two had a lot of mutual admiration. Clearly in the years since that respect hasn’t gone anywhere as the pair are once again hyping each other up online.

This time it came in the form of another dancing video, though this time it’s Megan doing the dancing. She shared a TikTok showing off both her dance moves and twerking ability in a pair of clips taken as she appears to be getting ready to go work out. “Before the gym She toned but it still move dont panic” the caption of the TikTok clip reads. But fans in the comments were less focused on the video itself and more focused on who popped up in the comments. “Megan I’m literally free whenever,” Billie Eilish commented, leading hundreds of fans to swarm to the post looking for her comment. Check out the full TikTok video below.

Billie Eilish Loves Megan Thee Stallion’s Dance Moves

Megan Thee Stallion isn’t the only rapper that Billie is a big fan of. Last month during a TikTok live, Nicki Minaj was sharing some news about her upcoming new album and a potential Drake collab. During the video, she also shows fans her newest Air Alpha Forces shoes, Eilish’s collaboration with Nike. Minaj also shows a message that came with them “excited to share my newest shoe, the air alpha force, with you. love, Billie.”

In an Instagram story posted of the shoes, Minaj proved that the admiration goes two ways. “When one of your dream girls sends you a pair of her kicks,” she said in the post. What do you think of Billie Eilish’s comment on Megan Thee Stallion’s new twerking TikTok? Let us know in the comment section below.

Tyrese Blasts DJ Envy For Lying About Disrespecting His Wife

September 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Just when we thought that the dispute between DJ Envy and Tyrese ended, it seems like there’s more to uncover and call out. Moreover, the singer and actor alleged that the radio hosts claims that he disrespected his wife are completely untrue. He said as much during a very lengthy Instagram video, which he put out there because Envy embarrassed him on a public platform. Overall, the message contains a lot of additional allegations, assumptions, and attacks against the media personality’s side of the story. It’s a complicated web to weave, but he broke things down in a few areas.

First off, Tyrese pulled up text messages between all three individuals that they received over the last year or so. This disproves DJ Envy’s claim that they blocked the Fast & Furious alum up until about a month ago, according to the screen star. In terms of their dynamic, he also claimed that Envy and his wife weren’t there for him during hard times, whereas he had done a lot to help them in their relationship. While the Los Angeles native didn’t go into too many specifics, he did hilariously share that he sent Envy’s wife pictures of his new Rolls Royce car.

DJ Envy Is Lying, Tyrese Claims

In addition, Tyrese explained that the timeline of events that DJ Envy used regarding his psych med behavior doesn’t actually line up with any alleged disrespect that he showed his wife. The 44-year-old also defended his character, saying that he’d never do anything to disrespect a known colleague’s partner. In the most basic of terms, he said that Envy lied about the whole thing and is actually just covering up his own reluctance to stay close to him. With this, the R&B crooner will likely provoke some more back-and-forths.

Meanwhile, this Instagram video actually contrasts what Gibson had said in an earlier video, which was much more emotional. Apparently he decided to speak on the issue further after all. The resulting fallout might come soon, it might come late, but one thing’s for sure: during his Breakfast Club interview, he acted much more calmly than how he actually feels about these claims. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Tyrese and DJ Envy.

Lil Xan Looks Back On His Controversial Tupac Comments, Clarifies Them

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Xan emerged during a time in hip-hop where disrespecting and undervaluing the old guard was the norm. Moreover, he called Tupac Shakur “boring” during a 2018 interview, which made old heads and younger fans alike immediately discredit him. Other examples of this included Lil Yachty calling Biggie Smalls “overrated,” but Xan’s comments rang especially blasphemous to many. However, the California MC’s grown a lot since then, and believes he finds himself in a much better space these days. While speaking to AllHipHop for an interview, he explained the circumstances behind it, but interestingly enough, maintained that he wouldn’t change it if he had the chance today.

“That interview should’ve never even been aired ‘cause I wasn’t in a good place during the interview,” Lil Xan stated. “I was angry at that time. And all that came down to was a result of me just trying to get the interview done quicker. I was like, ‘Next question. Next question.’ And then they just give me questions and I’m messing around.

Lil Xan’s Interview With AllHipHop Explains Tupac Comments

“I think Tupac is a legend,” Lil Xan continued. “I don’t have to explain myself to anybody, but I grew up on a lot of old school West Coast, a lot of old school East Coast. But after that, that was just a little mishap. It was the result of me not being as mature as I am today. Inexperienced with interviews a lot, too. If you would ask me if I could go back and rewrite that, I wouldn’t though. Because it started an interesting conversation in hip-hop. I did get a lot of backlash, of course, but as the years have gone by since that moment, it started what I think is a very good conversation in hip-hop.

“Why do these new cats in hip-hop that weren’t even born when someone like Tupac was around, why do they have to idolize them like the older people?” the 26-year-old posited. “They can appreciate the craft and the music. It’s good. It’s amazing. It’s better than good. But if you think about it like that, that’s some hating stuff right there.” For more news and the latest updates on Lil Xan, stay posted on HNHH.
