Kendrick Lamar Has Fans Amazed With Possible Underlying Drake Diss In “Not Like Us” Video

by

Kendrick Lamar made it his mission to leave Drake’s entrails on the floor during their battle. While the latter will never truly be down and out, K-Dot made it clear who the winner was. The “Not Like Us” music video will go down as one of the most iconic set of visuals for the genre, as it was highly anticipated for weeks and turned out to be one heck of a victory lap moment. It is littered with references to previous Drake jabs, showing how much care went into putting this all together. What is wild is that new connections are still being made all this time later.

According to HipHopDX, a Twitter thread from the acclaimed Dissect Podcast is going viral for discovering a deep tie to actress and former model, Milla Jovovich. You’re probably at a total loss just like we were when we first saw this but check this out. Fair warning though, this is currently speculation and is not yet confirmed. But the shot where Kendrick is sitting on the prison bed is a supposed recreation of a 1997 photo with Milla Jovovich. However, it goes much further than that. When the Resident Evil movie star was younger, she was entangled in some underage debacles.

Kendrick Is Wild If This “Not Like Us” Video Connection Is True

In the mid 1980s’, when Milla was just about 11, she was “discovered” by a French model agency manager by the name of Jean-Luc Brunel. This led her to a very early modeling career. Where things get even creepier is that he was accused of raping a child and supplying young girls to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein. It appears all of those allegations were true because before Brunel’s trial, he decided to hang himself. Dissect also mentioned how Milla was seen nude in a film at 15, was briefly married to 21-year-old at 16, and married a director who was dating a 15-year-old girl prior when he was 32. If you remember, Kendrick raps about cell block one in that scene in the video, making this connection all the more believable.

What are your thoughts on this possible “Not Like Us” music video connection from Kendrick Lamar? Is this too far of a reach, or can you see this being true? Can you see this angering the Drake fans even more? Is this your favorite reference from the video now? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Pop Smoke’s Murder Reportedly Connected To Rapper Found Dead In Barrel

by

Even though it’s been three years since, Pop Smoke’s tragic passing hasn’t gotten any easier to reckon with. In addition, it also remains a point of mystery and contention from a case perspective, with those accused of robbing him and taking his life either confessing or still in court. However, the case just got even murkier in relation to another saddening and grim murder. Moreover, local Los Angeles rapper Sirtanky was found dead inside of a barrel on the shores of Malibu earlier this week. Sirtanky, real name Javonnta Murphy, apparently has a link to the drill rapper’s case that caused police to investigate further.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told TMZ that the following connection is just one of many possible theories and motives for Murphy’s death. Furthermore, the publication learned that Sirtanky’s brother, Jaquan Murphy, is one of the men who authorities arrested for Pop Smoke’s murder back in 2020. He was cleared of this crime, though, and is not one of the men still facing justice for their crimes. Still, Jaquan Murphy is awaiting trial as of writing this article for an unrelated homicide charge in the area.

As such, police are reportedly investigating this as a potentially retaliatory attack. With the case details still being quite vague, it will be hard to identify a motive without further information. Regardless, law enforcement isn’t ruling any possibilities out when it comes to this grisly cases. When they initially found out about Sirtanky’s body, they suspected “foul play” due to his body being naked. “At about 8 p.m., there’s a high tide here,” Lt. Hugo Renaya told The Los Angeles Times. “There’s a possibility that the container could have come in from the ocean and then got stuck in the lagoon. But we don’t know.”

Meanwhile, one of the men accused of the New York MC’s murder, an 18-year-old, recently confessed to the crime. Others either pleaded guilty or are still awaiting trial and judgement for their involvement in the house raid. Even though this could be connected to Sirtanky’s death after all, it’s unclear how it would impact Pop’s case, if at all. With that in mind, for more news and the latest updates on these stories, stick around on HNHH.
Rest In Peace Sirtanky & Pop Smoke.
