Young Thug Debunks Saweetie Diss On New Album “BUSINESS IS BUSINESS”

by

Even though this wasn’t a diss as people thought, it does answer some interesting questions people had about BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. Moreover, Young Thug recently stated via Twitter that a line that many thought was directed at Saweetie on his new album actually didn’t take aim at her at all. “My n***a ain’t even tryna hit sweetie,” Thug raps on the track “Want Me Dead.” Furthermore, it seems like a lot of people thought that he actually mentioned the California rapper. It was just a case of mishearing the line thanks to there not being a word like “a,” “the,” “my,” and so on before “sweetie.” “Her name is Saweetie,” Thugger tweeted. “I said sweetie. #BusinessIsBusiness.”

Given the Atlanta trap pioneer’s expressive inflections and unique tone, it’s easy to confuse lines from him. However, his clarification points to a few other rumors surrounding BUSINESS IS BUSINESS‘s release. For starters, many wondered how much of these new tracks were freshly recorded during his incarceration. He now confirmed that probably many of these have a couple of years on the shelf. More importantly, though, fans wonder whether Young Thug will clarify whether he meant to diss Gunna on tracks like “Jonesboro,” where he talks about snitching. Since he’s in jail, it’s unlikely that he recorded a specific verse for it. Still, now that he cleared one alleged diss up, why not another? And what does it mean if he doesn’t?

Well, the reason why is likely because of his YSL partner’s plea deal. Its legal ramifications likely bar significant contact between the two, as some pointed out. On the other hand of that argument, Wunna’s done plenty to shout out Young Thug and reach him indirectly. Also, Thugger once linked Gunna’s music on his IG bio and then deleted it. At the moment, it seems like the relationship between the two is assumed to be at least amicably at arm’s length as fans continue to speculate. For example, an alleged leak voice call from the 31-year-old to Lil Baby and Lil Durk asking for them to respond to Gunna’s alleged disses was called fake by Thug’s sister.

Meanwhile, even that hasn’t convinced people that there’s bad blood brewing. That’s certainly true for Gunna’s relationship with other artists, but not necessarily with Thugger himself. While many hope we’ll get true answers soon, those won’t likely be coming anytime soon. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news on Young Thug and Saweetie.

Rick Ross Reacts To Officials Denying Car & Bike Show Event Permit: “It Must Go On”

by

Rick Ross won’t take no for an answer. As the Biggest Boss has been busy preparing for his upcoming annual car and bike show, his plans have been hit with a major roadblock. Documents obtained by XXL on Tuesday (May 16) reveal that his permit has been denied by Fayette County, who are prohibiting him from hosting the event at his Georgia mansion on June 3. The specific reason for the denial is that the permit “is not in compliance with Fayette County Zoning Ordinance.”

“Any decision to allow the 2022 event to move forward as a conditional use in the A-R Zoning District was made outside of the scope of authority of the then acting Director of Planning & Zoning/ Zoning Administrator,” the document further states. Ross has been talking about the event non-stop (particularly during his recent Drink Champs interview) and clearly isn’t letting the bureaucratic rain ruin his parade. He took to his Instagram Story this afternoon, letting fans know he has no plans of cancelling.

Rick Ross Responds to Denied Event Permit

“Breaking news, the Rick Ross Car Show June 3 goes on,” the Richer Than I Ever Been artist declared hours ago. “It’s a private event on private property with VIPs and you’re invited. Tickets are still available online. It’s going to be a beautiful event. Shoutout to the beautiful city of Fayetteville.” Rather than letting the denial get him down, the Mississippi-born lyricist is embracing the challenges coming his way as he moves forward.

“This when I become great during the challenges. That’s what I like. That’s why I was always one to initiate certain things because I love the challenge. I don’t have a problem going against the challenges because Ricky Rozay ready. Is it really a challenge?” he asked followers tuning in. Do you think that Rick Ross’ annual car and bike show will be shut down by police if he fails to get a permit by next month?

Tory Lanez’s New Trial Motion Denied, Rapper’s Attorneys Seeks To Have Judge Dismissed

by

Despite his attempts to plead with Judge David Herriford to not “ruin his life” ahead of today’s ruling, it’s been decided that Tory Lanez will not receive a retrial in his case with Megan Thee Stallion. The embattled R&B star has been behind bars since late last yea. At the time, he was found guilty of shooting the Houston-born rap diva back in 2020. He’s obviously been maintaining his innocence. Elsewhere, Megan has finally been speaking out about her thoughts on the situation. She recently wrote a lengthy essay for Elle in which she declared her intentions to no longer publicly speak about her trauma.

Word of Lanez’s denial came on Tuesday (May 9), from reporter Meghann Cuniff who previously covered the original proceedings. According to her daily Twitter thread, things were off to a bumpy start at the LA Superior Court. Everyone in attendance was faced with delays, setting an undeniably sour tone. “It’s now 11 and there’s no word at all about when we might get to go into the courtroom for this 10:30 hearing Judge Herriford set yesterday after hearing *five hours* of argument on the motion,” she vented earlier this afternoon.

Tory Lanez Denied Second Trial

Shortly after, Cuniff returned with confirmation of the denied motions, along with some other news. “In a jaw-dropping move, Lanez’s lawyers filed a motion to disqualify Judge Herriford from [the recording artist’s] case,” the reporter dished in a tweet. “Then told the judge they didn’t think he could issue his ruling until the motion was resolved. Herriford disagreed,” her message ended.

Although the news is certainly good for Thee Stallion, who’s looking to put the past behind her, it seems as though the father of one isn’t planning on going down without a fight. His attorneys challenged each one of the seven arguments addressed by Herriford in court and will return later this afternoon to give their final comments. Are you surprised that Tory Lanez’s motion for a retrial has been denied? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Freddie Gibbs Denies The Fit Mami’s Claims About Paying For His Cell: “I Ain’t Got No Phone”

by

Rather than playing into the drama currently being created by his ex-girlfriend (and future baby mama) on social media, Freddie Gibbs is keeping his cool. If you’ve been on Twitter today, you may have seen the star’s unfortunate new nickname, “Spreadie Gibbs” trending. The moniker was bestowed upon him after Destini, the woman he formerly dated who’s now pregnant with his child, told her followers that she allegedly has NSFW images of Gibbs showing off his behind in her camera roll.

It seems the Indiana native opted to cut her out of his life completely after she turned to social media to vent about their situation earlier this week. During their time together, the adult entertainer says she and Gibbs both expressed interest in starting a family and that she was even paying for his phone bill. When a wild night of lovemaking actually led to conception, however, the 40-year-old changed his mind, making it clear that he’s not ready to be a father at this time. After getting wind of Destini – also known as The Fit Mami – and her Twitter exposé, Freddie apparently blocked her, choosing to address the situation with a brief tweet on Friday (May 5).

Freddie Gibbs Responds to His Ex

“I ain’t got no phone,” the father of one wrote in an attempt to refute his former partner’s allegations. Of course, it wasn’t long before trolls began pouring into the replies with their thoughts. “Yeah, we know bro,” one of them quipped. “She stopped paying 💀.” Others couldn’t resist but bring up “Spreadie Gibbs,” further taunting the embattled lyricist over the rumours.

One fan asked him, “Gangsta Gibbs they said you was spreadin’ eagle. Tell me it ain’t true,” though the “Crime Pays” hitmaker neither confirmed nor denied that gossip specifically. “Man the next album about to be extraordinary,” someone else speculated. Clearly, the world is looking forward to the follow-up to 2022’s $oul $old $eparately. Keep scrolling to see Twitter’s reaction to Freddie Gibbs’ short and simple response to his ex’s allegations. If you’re not already caught up on the tea, you can read TheFitMami’s lengthy rants about their relationship here and here.

Juelz Santana Denies Cheating On Kimbella, Admits To Infidelity In The Past

by

Juelz Santana has previously admitted to cheating on his wife, Kimbella, before they were married. Now that he’s got a ring on his finger, the New Yorker prides himself in being an honest man. It appears he’s facing infidelity accusations again. The rapper certainly didn’t hesitate to address during a rant on his Instagram Story on Thursday (April 27) afternoon. “I pride myself on being faithful ‘cuz there was a time I wasn’t,” he began, earning plenty of laughs from social media users over the sheer honesty of his confession. “I don’t/won’t cheat on my wife,” Santana further declared.

“[That’s] how I knew I was ready to get married, ‘cuz I knew I was ready to fully commit to my wife,” the rap legend added. As Complex notes, Santana and Kimbella have been together, on and off, since 2009. They have three children together but didn’t get married until 2019. This is apparently when the Dipset member was ready to cut ties with his side tings and settle down. “No matter [where] we stand at the moment, as long as we married, I would/will never break my vows,” Santana went on to say.

Juelz Santana Addresses Cheating Rumours

The 41-year-old made it abundantly clear that he’s essentially Kimbella’s property. In addition, he said, “No b*tch will ever get to hold that over her,” before “signing” his name in IG’s cursive font. At the bottom of his post, Santana dedicated the message to “[anyone] WONDERING or trying to be slick 🤷🏽‍♂️💯.” It remains unclear exactly who’s been causing trouble within the couple’s crumbling marriage. Still, the “Oh Yes” rapper is obviously doing his part to stay on top of the situation.

Elsewhere, the East Coast artist has been drumming up plenty of excitement for his upcoming project, We In Motion. A tracklist was unveiled earlier this week, and back in March, we heard JS tease a fire collaboration with 21 Savage that fans can’t wait to download on streaming platforms. What are your thoughts on Juelz Santana and Kimbella’s relationship? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Latto Denies Coachella Crowd Photoshop Allegations

by

Latto gave what’s been labelled as undoubtedly one of the most exciting performances at Coachella weekend one on Sunday (April 16). Still, that hasn’t stopped haters from trying to find any possible flaws. On Monday, the reality star celebrated her major W with a photo dump shared on Twitter. It consists of selfies, snapshots of her outfit, and finally, an enormous crowd watching on as she stood in front of them. Not long after her post went up, Latto was hit with zoomed in screenshots of the bottom right image. Upon inspection, some are accusing her of photoshopping it to make the audience at her show look bigger.

“That crowd tho! Wow. Goals 🙏,” one person wrote along with receipts that show them same face in the crowd twice. This hate train isn’t as massive as others Latto has conquered as of late. However, it’s likely exhausting for her to take on such constant criticism nonetheless. Thankfully, the 24-year-old is an undeniably resiliant spirit, and often addresses the gossip circulating about her online with a tough attitude. After seeing the negative response to her “LATTOCHELLA” post, she took thinks over to Instagram to speak her mind with a Story.

Latto Shares Photos from Coachella

“Never photoshopped a crowd lmao, I expanded it so it would fit in my Instagram swipe without getting cut off,” the Atlanta-based artist wrote earlier this afternoon. “It was clearly f*cked up so I didn’t end up using it and just posted the wrong version by accident on Twitter babes 🥰. Next,” Latto’s message ended. Since she’s spoken out, it seems as though many are taking the “Lottery” hitmaker’s side in the spat, calling the behaviour of those accusing her of editing “weird.”

“This is just weird in general… Everyone knows how packed Coachella is,” one IG user wrote in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments. “I saw videos from a fan in the crowd from her set. Idk how she can do it, y’all be hating on these female rappers like crazy! They can’t make a mistake, gotta be perfect etc. I’d be tired if I was her.” Read more about what went down during Latto’s performance here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Moneybagg Yo Denies Having Sex With Woman In Viral Picture

by

Moneybagg Yo denied that he was the one having sex in a viral picture on social media. Moreover, a picture of a man and a woman in the act started to spread around the Internet in various contexts. In fact, many made a big deal out of the fact that the man looks eerily similar to the Memphis rapper. After all, even the least bit of resemblance, once pointed out, will get people talking- and make a tweet go viral. However, the “On Wat U On” MC was having none of it and shut down rumors that it was him on Twitter. Furthermore, he pointed out that real fans should’ve noticed that the pictured male doesn’t have any tattoos on his body like Bagg does.

“Mane stop mentioning me in this picture of somebody getting f***ed,” he wrote indignantly via Twitter. “Y’all ppl WEIRD bra my whole body tatted s**t not me!” In a subsequent series of tweets, he made light of the situation with some cheekier and more humorous comments. “People be Slow internet dry y’all need some attention,” the 31-year-old continued. “U lame a** n***as be ready for me to f**k up,” he concluded with some crying-laughing emojis.

Moneybagg Yo Isn’t Having Sex In Viral Picture

While not everyone’s convinced in the comments, is that really the hill you want to die on? Regardless, the Bread Gang Entertainment boss has bigger things to worry about and more important people to consider. For example, he recently took the time to honor rising (and practically established) star GloRilla on her incredible career trajectory thus far. The fellow Memphis MC blew up last year off of her raw energy, and he gifted her a Bread Gang chain at assumedly one of her tour shows.

Meanwhile, Moneybagg usually takes to social media to flex his extensive jewelry collection, which he showed off recently as well. “Ain’t even half,” he wrote on the Story post’s caption, which featured various chains, watches, and pendants. As such, it’s no wonder he has some ice laying around to gift to up-and-comers as a sign of respect. However you feel about that picture, check back in with HNHH for the latest updates on Moneybagg Yo.
