Sexyy Red Posts Hilarious Tweet Comparing Herself To A Bug

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red is clearly well aware of the comparisons fans online make about her. When she first rose to fame she made the mistake of letting fans know she didn’t appreciate them saying she looks like Young Thug. Subsequently that caused the comparisons to emerge on essentially everything she posted to social media. Eventually, though, she seemed to come around to the similarities. In a recent post, she called Young Thug her “twin” and demanded he be freed from the ongoing YSL RICO trial.

Now, Sexyy Red has publicly revealed her second pregnancy and it’s spawned a whole new collection of comparisons. While she learned not to confirm whether or not they actually bothered her this time, she’s similarly become accustomed to the jokes. In a hilariously self-aware new tweet, she shared a picture of herself side-by-side with a bug that some fans apparently think she’s embodying. Check out the tweet itself and some of the wild fan reactions to it below.

During her breakout 2023 Sexyy Red has already had the chance to collaborate with a number of high profile artists. She’s teamed up with Drake, SZA, DaBaby, Lil Durk, Nicki Minaj, and more. Next, she’s teaming up with Kevin Gates. The pair are teaming up for a raunchy new banger that they teased in a new TikTok last week. It’s the latest in a series of singles she’s dropped following her debut album earlier this year. That list included remixes, soundtrack cuts, and new singles from Red.

Red has also had a number of guests appear on her first-ever headlining tour. She’s taking her debut album Hood Hottest Princess on tour. Along the way, artists like DaBaby, Rubi Rose, and Chingy have joined her on stage to perform a variety of material for fans in attendance. What do you think of Sexyy Red’s new tweet comparing herself to a bug? Let us know in the comment section below.

Sexyy Red Called Herself The “Modern Day Boosie”

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red has experienced a meteoric rise to fame in 2023. Earlier this year she released her debut album Hood Hottest Princess which came on the heels of her breakthrough hit “Pound Town 2.” The album went on to find even more success with songs like “SkeeYee” and “Hellcats SRTs.” That doesn’t even touch on some of the artists she’s collaborated with along the way. Nicki Minaj and DaBaby were some of her earliest team-ups and since then she’s worked with massive artists like Drake, SZA, and Lil Durk.

While Sexyy Red’s breakout year has seen her compared to many other rappers, she has one particular comparison in mind. Yesterday she tweeted “modern day boosie” making it clear that her biggest point of comparison is Boosie Badazz. As is often the case when Red does anything online, fans started hating on her quickly. “NO WAY. NO ALBUMS, NO CLASSICS, NO LYRICS, NOTHING,” and “This disrespectful to boosie,” two of the top comments read. Despite that general sentiment there are those who show up in the comments in defense of red. Check out the tweet itself and various fan reactions below.

One rapper that Sexyy Red finds herself compared to more than any other is Young Thug. But the comparisons don’t have much of anything to do with either artists music or style, it’s just that fans think they look alike. Red made the mistake of making it publicly known that she dislikes the comparison, which only led to fans making it even more. Thankfully, she seems to have gotten much more comfortable with it since then.

Sexyy Red has yet another high-profile collaboration on the way this year. Last week, Kevin Gates took to social media to tease an upcoming song he did with Red. While it doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet fans are already hyped to get their hands on the raunchy banger. What do you think of Sexyy Red declaring herself the modern day Boosie Badazz? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy Believes Yung Miami Will Be Like Oprah Winfrey

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview, Diddy gave his thoughts on what he thinks the next generation of hip-hop moguls will look like. Of course, considering his extensive business portfolio and profile in both realms, few are as qualified, experienced, and successful when it comes to their predictions. Moreover, it also comes as no surprise that the Bad Boy head honcho would compare a billionaire-to-be with one of the most adorned media figures ever. Furthermore, he compared Yung Miami to Oprah, and said that she’ll one day match her status in her own lane and become a rap billionaire. Clearly, Sean Combs has a lot of faith and support for his on-and-off-again flame.

“Nipsey Hussle, to me, was that young Puff version,” Diddy remarked of a question about which rising stars could become business titans like him one day. “But one person that I can say right now is Travis Scott. I can relate to how he’s diversifying his portfolio and really understanding how to take it to the next level.” Then, he evoked Oprah while describing the City Girl, speaking specifically on their various media outlets.

Diddy Dishes On The Rap Billionaires Of Tomorrow

“I also think Yung Miami [real name Caresha Brownlee] from the City Girls,” Diddy continued. “She reminds me of Oprah with the endless possibilities that she has as far as her clothing line, television shows, performances, live podcasts. I really respect both of their hustles and see them being able to break through.” Of course, this isn’t a bad prediction to make at all, considering the success of the Caresha Please podcast and the Florida native’s other business endeavors. In fact, this is a timely comparison to make, as she recently (and hilariously) revealed what NSFW question she would ask Oprah.

Meanwhile, the next class of rap billionaires might look very different, but that’s the exciting nature of conversations like these. It seems like there are more people than ever poised to claim a spot, as the genre continues to grow and expand its reach. Who do you think will be the next Jay-Z? Let us know in the comments and stick around on HNHH for the latest updates on Diddy, Yung Miami, and Oprah.

Twitter Compares Halle Bailey To Janet Jackson While Dissing DDG

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Halle Bailey and DDG are one of the more divisive couples online, with many fans of the singer often criticizing the YouTuber and rapper. It’s been rough for them in spaces like Twitter, but they continue to stand by each other no matter what. In fact, even when Chlöe’s sister provokes comparisons to a legend like Janet Jackson, Internet folk find ways to drag him in the mud. “She’s so Janet coded even down to the low budget baby daddy,” one user wrote on Twitter, quote-tweeting a video of the pair at a Gucci fashion show. What’s more is that this isn’t even the first time that fans compared the R&B singer to the iconic Jackson sister.

Of course, the sheer veracity of this statement was subject to some debate in the replies. For one, many thought that this user referred to Janet’s relationship with Jermaine Dupri, who is by no means low-budget. In addition, the father of her son (whom she since divorced) is apparently a wealthy businessman from Qatar. As such, maybe it’s not the best comparison point, although there are many reasons why Halle Bailey should be honored by that link.

On top of all this, Halle Bailey and DDG also have to deal with a barrage of pregnancy rumors that are floating online right now. Most of them revolve around the Little Mermaid actress’ outfit choices, which some believe cover up more belly space than usual. Considering that people already don’t like this relationship for whatever reason, this is a panic room emergency for some. Regardless of all of that, they still seem quite happy together, and always support each other’s individual career evolution.

Meanwhile, it’s also understandable that this causes some frustration for them. “The internet is not real,” Halle’s man tweeted recently. “I’m having this s**t in real life. These folks ‘play hate’ and stream my s**t in private. And all them females talkin bout my girl can ‘do better’ f**k broke n***as wit no ambition. Ya ain’t never been to chanel & can pick out whatever & how many bags ya want.” For more news and the latest updates on DDG, Halle Bailey, and Janet Jackson, come back to HNHH.

J. Cole Compared Burna Boy To Tupac When They First Met

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Afrobeats have been increasing in popularity in the United States for years now and one of the biggest reasons for that is Burna Boy. The rapper has been a torch bearer for the genre who has seen its success through to a number of new milestones. In 2020 he scored his first top 20 album with Twice As Tall, only to eclipse that in 2022 when his album Love, Damini debuted inside the top 10 of the Billboard 200. While the numbers on his newest release won’t be in until this weekend, but with the project already racking up millions of Spotify streams it’s likely to get pretty high.

Burna Boy hasn’t just been impressive for his numbers, he’s also achieved some major cosigns. His new album features appearances from RZA, GZA, Dave, 21 Savage, and J. Cole. It was that last feature that he discussed in a recent appearance on the Rap Radar podcast. He told the story of ending up in the studio with Cole and the rapper being impressed with his performance. “This n*gga’s Tupac reincarnated in Africa,” Burna claims he said. Check out this entire portion of the interview below.

The Tupac comparison isn’t the only time J. Cole has had high praise for Burna Boy. On their recent collaboration, he had even more high praise for the pair as a duo. “Cole and Burna, Shaq and Kobe/ Winnin’ a ring, then we gon’ repeat and three-peat/ Them nerds hate, they seat geeks/ They peepin’ us on the low, we like the cheat sheet,” Cole raps. Cole is no stranger to basketball comparisons either so he knows exactly what he’s saying by equating them to Shaq and Kobe.

Burna Boy has long found success recruiting artists from all over the world to join in on his music. His previous album featured Ed Sheeran, J Balvin, Popcaan, Khalid, J Hus, Kehlani, and many more. What do you think about J. Cole’s high praise for Burna Boy? Let us know in the comment section below.

Finesse2tymes Claims To Be 50 Cent, Yo Gotti & Gucci Mane Hybrid, Fans Troll Him

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Finesse2tymes is among the many Memphis stars that burst onto the scene in the 2020s so far. However, he’s still not among the most beloved, or at least, that’s what the recent response to one of his Instagram Stories suggests. As a hard-working and focused MC, though, he’s sure to beat these allegations soon, and they certainly won’t slow his hustle down. Still, many fans thought he was overshooting when he named various great rappers and credited them as influencing his hybrid style. Rather than think about whether his music sounds like theirs in concept, they went for his throat on the quality and status end.

“If you put 50 cent, Doe b, Yo Gotti, and Gucci mane all in one pot, U get Finesse2tymes,” the 90 Days artist wrote on social media. In addition, he included a fire emoji and a thinking emoji, and users definitely made their thoughts clear. “More like Bart Simpson and manny fresh mixed in da pot,” one commenter savagely wrote, with another adding “And the lie detector determined that was Cap” with laughing emojis. However, there were still many fans who came to his defense or just disagreed with him with no disrespect, just from a style angle.

“Hate is a strong Drug first yall was on his D*** now he winning to much now yall hating,” one user posited. Another wrote “I Can See The Other Ones .. He Gone Have To Show Me Some 50 Tho I Dont See It Lol.” “He more lyrical than all them tho,” a fan expressed. While plenty of the most popular responses were negative, isn’t that true of most Internet discussions these days? Regardless, his proclamation at the very least hopefully raises expectations for material on par with these artists in the future.

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old is still a controversial figure these days in hip-hop, though it’s more for his antics and legal trouble than anything sinister. With a couple more hits under his belt, he can eschew comparisons and focus on becoming his own artist. He certainly has the skill and potential to do so, so we hope this response doesn’t get to his head. For more news and the latest updates on Finesse2tymes, keep checking in with HNHH.

Sexyy Red Compared To Michael Jackson By TikToker, Rap Diva Has Epic Response

July 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Much like Ice Spice, hip-hop has seen a rapid come-up unfolding for Sexyy Red over the past few months. While she certainly hasn’t taken things to the same level the 23-year-old is at, she did match her “Princess Diana (Remix)” with Nicki Minaj by recruiting the Queen of Rap to join forces with her for “Pound Town 2.” In addition to that, NLE Choppa has been showing Sexyy plenty of love as she continues to grow, as has Travis Scott. The latter brought the salacious spitter out during his set at Wireless Festival earlier this month. They were later seen turning up at the club together, with Latto also in attendance.

Like most female rappers, the Missouri-born artist has gotten her share of hate too, mostly for the NSFW nature of her content. Regardless of what critics have to say, however, Red continues to move forward with total confidence, which is exactly what listeners admire about her. In particular, her work has caught the eye of TikTok star Aliyah, who’s also known for pushing boundaries with her bold fashion choices. Seeing as the two embody similar energy, it’s really no surprise to find out that the social media influencer is one of Sexyy’s biggest fans.

Sexyy Red Makes the Perfect Pun

HeeYee!!! https://t.co/GEF2G8YqcA

— Sexyy Red (@SexyyRed314_) July 17, 2023

“Sexyy Red is my Michael Jackson,” Aliyah tweeted just a few days ago, making it clear that the redhead is someone she looks up to. While not everyone was able to understand where the TikToker is coming from with her comparison, the 25-year-old saw it as an opportunity to crack the perfect joke. “HeeYee!!!” Red wrote back, referencing her incredibly popular “SkeeYee” single, as well as Jackson’s iconic adlib.

As Sexyy Red continues to crack the internet up with her candid commentary and perfect puns, others are using songs from her Hood Hottest Princess album to earn some attention of their own. Among them is 41-year-old La La Anthony, who faced criticism for twerking along to one of the St. Louis native’s most popular songs in a now-deleted TikTok. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Ice Spice Responds To Troll Comparing Her To Someone With Down Syndrome

July 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As one of the biggest artists in the world right now, Ice Spice is having a rollercoaster of a year so far. Unfortunately, with all that visibility and virality, you’re bound to catch a lot of haters on the way, especially as women in rap get an unjustifiably disproportionate amount of it. Moreover, a recent tweet making fun of the Bronx rapper’s appearance did so at the expense of another community. Recently, a Twitter user replied to a tweet of hers with a side-by-side picture of her and a girl with Down syndrome, which has actually been a pretty nasty joke online against her. Regardless, the “Barbie World” star responded swiftly and sharply to the jab while rightfully dismissing standards of beauty and normalcy.

“U thought u ate but my sis cute asf,” Ice Spice quote-tweeted the image in question with a heart-eyes emoji. Many expressed their support of both women in the comments of her tweet, and she even responded to a few of those. “You know you made it when you have people hating for no reason,” Twitter sensation @kirawontmiss replied. “Thx kira,” the 23-year-old replied, which made for a wild hip-hop and Twitter culture crossover.

Ice Spice Claps Back At Twitter Troll

In other Ice Spice news, she absolutely took over the Billboard Hot 100 this year, and she currently has two songs in the top ten. These are the aforementioned Nicki Minaj collaboration “Barbie World” and “Karma” featuring Taylor Swift. Before that, the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker achieved the same with both “Princess Diana” (which had Nicki on the remix) and “Boy’s a liar, Pt. 2” with PinkPanthress also being in the top ten at the same time. Ever since she made her Hot 100 debut with the Lil Tjay collab “Gangsta Boo,” she got in a comfy chair to stay in and basked in the limelight.

Before you argue that these songs were only big because they’re collabs, think of all the songs these other artists made that didn’t reach the Billboard top ten. Also, to have so many of them during such a short time speaks to her star power. What we know for sure is that, despite the haters, she’s not slowing down anytime soon, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ice Spice.

Trippie Redd Claims No Artist Is As Versatile As Him

June 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ahead of the release of his next album A Love Letter To You 5, Trippie Redd is really feeling himself on Twitter. On Tuesday evening (June 13), the Ohio rapper, singer, and songwriter made a comment on his versatility as an artist and credited it as his main claim to fame. Not only that, but he argued that he’s on a whole other level when it comes to his production and sonic tendencies on his records. Sure, you might have your preferred picks when it comes to that area and arguments against him, but there’s no denying that Trippie’s walked many different lanes as a creative. With his next single dropping this week, we’ll see if he puts his money where his mouth is and comes through with another great record.

“I’m versatile,” Trippie Redd fired off on Twitter. “I blew up off of that alone. Judge me for how I look talk smoke breath but ur fav artist probably ain’t on my level sonically. I took a break from real music to make rage music it was fun but now it’s time.” Interestingly enough, reception to his rage album MANSION MUSIK wasn’t the best, but it still did pretty good numbers and had some highlights. To not label rage as “real music” seems like an unnecessary jab, but hopefully that reflects that he wants to make something more true to himself this time around.

Meanwhile, another wish is that ALLTY5 doesn’t fall victim to the same pitfalls of leaks and hackers that his previous album fell to. During a conversation with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, Trippie Redd explained that hackers tampered with the release of MANSION MUSIK and caused him and his team to have to rush certain elements. “I ain’t really speak on it, but I’m going to speak on it,” the 23-year-old shared. “I was held for ransom on my project. They had all my records. Every single last one. All the features.” He continued to explain that he had to “rush the project out,” which affected the mixing. “That’s what Travis sent to me [on “KRAZY TRAIN”], I didn’t mix it.

“I had to run with it because if I didn’t, the whole project was going to release,” he continued. “They have been hacking and leaking s**t, at least my last two, three albums. Pegasus, it probably leaked two months before it dropped, bro, and it still did extremely well. I was like, if I don’t drop it now, then it’s going to be out there, and they’re going to hear it regardless. They’re going to hear the bad mix regardless, so I’m going to put it out unmixed and see what they think. Yeah, the album did leak, actually, two. I work through anything. God got the last laugh, you feel me? Like the devil going to throw so much at you, you can’t really let it bother you. Just take the bruises, you’ll heal eventually.” For the latest on Trippie Redd, log back into HNHH.

Nick Cannon Compares Himself To Bob Marley & Muhammad Ali

May 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nick Cannon is notorious for his large family, but he doesn’t see that as any reason for people to criticize him. In a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times, he addressed his perceived role as a deadbeat dad and recent reports that he pays $3 million a year in child support. “That’s not a lot of money,” he remarked. “When you think about my lifestyle, I have to generate at least $100 million a year… Everybody thinks Ryan Seacrest has tons of money. I do everything that he does times 10. Well, not times 10- times three. Because he does a lot. I’ve been villainized. I hear all the time: ‘You can’t be present for all those children.’ So, therefore, I get this deadbeat dad title.

“Right now, the narrative is, ‘He has a bunch of kids,’” Nick Cannon continued. “But I’m really at a place now where I don’t care what people know. I’d rather just operate. It’s more about really being a good person instead of telling people you’re a good person. I mean, Muhammad Ali had a bunch of kids, and he was the greatest fighter there ever was. Bob Marley got more kids than I got. These are great men.”

Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey With Their Twins

In another interview with Jason Lee, the “Wild ‘N Out” host spoke on why his twins with Mariah Carey, Moroccan and Monroe, aren’t on social media more often. “The few times we have let [Moroccan] go, he does it so classy,” Nick Cannon remarked. “They said something about his mom, and he said, ‘Hold up.’ He was on Twitch. He’s like, ‘First of all, I don’t discuss any of my family issues and I feel like you’re being disrespectful right now. That’s not why I’m here, so if you’re going to continue to ask me questions, I’m going to ask you to remove yourself.’

“I love it, but Mariah is more of a private person, which I understand,” he continued. “So it’s a balance, it’s alignment. I let them run. They make TikTok videos with me and do all this stuff. And they do it with Mariah too, but I let them have a little bit more freedom, especially stepping into the place of being almost teenagers.” For more updates and the latest news on Nick Cannon and his family, stick around on HNHH.
