Jay-Z Is Rumored To Have A Diss Track On The Way

November 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hip-hop fans have heard plenty of memorable diss tracks in recent months. According to rumors circulating online, one more might even be on the way. In a new post shared by Akademiks TV last night, someone claiming to have attended a New York rapper’s private event alleged that Jay-Z has a new album on the way. Moreover, they alleged that it contains a diss track, based on what they heard at the event.

“I’m at a NY rapper only private Roc Nation karaoke event. Word on the street Hov got a new album coming up including a diss song,” the anonymous message reads. At the time of writing, it remains unclear whether or not there’s any truth to this individual’s claims. It also remains unclear who the alleged diss track could be about. With that being said, these are not the first rumors of a new Jay-Z album fans have heard this year.

Back in January, director Hidji World took to Instagram to share various Story posts suggesting he was on set with Jay-Z. In one, he claimed he was “shooting today.” In another, he shared a photo of a first-take film slate. “JAY Z -2024 ALBUM,” it was labeled. Hidji was listed as the director, along with Leroy Farrell as director of photography. For obvious reasons, this got fans’ hopes up, though they were quickly shot down once Roc Nation caught wind of the post. The company commented on a post on X, which had reported that “A NEW JAY-Z ALBUM IS BEING TEASED FOR 2024.”

“That’s news to us,” the official Roc Nation X account wrote at the time. That was almost a year ago now, so it’s certainly possible that things have changed. With that being said, however, any talk of a new Jay-Z album or diss track is still rumored for the time being.

Dionne Warwick Reveals Why She Didn’t Enjoy Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dionne Warwick was seemingly tired of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” while listening to the Drake diss for an interview with NPR for a segment titled “Nobody Asked for This (But I’m Gonna Tell You Anyhow),” in which she reviewed modern music. When the interview played the hit song, Warwick asked why the two rappers took their feud public in the first place. “This is the look of ‘why’?” she said. “I don’t think that this should be a public thing. So as far as I’m concerned, I’m not going to rate this one.”

It’s not the first time she’s abstained from commenting on the viral beef. Back in April, a fan on X (formerly Twitter) asked her about J. Cole’s involvement and for her to address the situation. “No. I will continue to mind my business,” she said in response.

Elsewhere in the interview, Warwick discussed Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, and Sabrina Carpenter. For Roan, she praised the singer’s hit song, “Good Luck, Babe!” saying, “She’s got her own thing going on. That’s a wonderful thing.” For Charli, she admitted to not knowing about her album, Brat, but enjoyed the song, “Guess.” As for Carpenter, she discussed “Please, Please, Please, ” which she gave a four-and-a-half out of five.

DJ Akademiks Questions The Strength Of Kendrick Lamar’s Diss Against Him While Debating Joe Budden

September 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks reacted to Kendrick Lamar mentioning him on his Drake diss track, “6:16 in LA,” during a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast. As the group listened to the song, Lamar rapped: “Yeah, somebody’s lyin’, I can see the vibes on Ak’ / Even he lookin’ compromised, let’s peel the layers back.” It resulted in everybody turning their heads to the livestreamer.

“Don’t look at me when that sh*t comes on,” DJ Akademiks joked. “Right before that line, I felt like the first half– because even when I was playing it off his Instagram, I played it like two minutes after he uploaded it, I was like, ‘This isn’t getting at Drake.’ It felt like it was something older that was already cooked up and right at that line, when he says something about the carcass and industry, even the vocal tone changes, and it feels like, ‘Now, I’m getting to the sh*t I wanna get to.’”

Earlier in the show, they discussed Lamar’s lyrical prowess, at which time Akademiks praised him. “I don’t want to be rap beefing with no n**a who talking about sh*t like that,” he joked. The group then debated the importance of understanding what an artist is saying in their lyrics. In response to the clip, users on X (formerly Twitter) had mixed opinions. “The fact you have to look it up makes it MORE fire. Bc it does what hip hop has ALWAYS done throughout history. Teach inform and acknowledge,” one user wrote. Another countered: “Kendrick got idiots thinking they’re intellectuals listening to him.”

Check out Akademiks’ latest remarks on the viral feud below. They don’t mark the first time Ak’s made headlines for discussing the two artists this week. He also went viral after theorizing that Lamar is using the same public relations team as Cardi B. Be on the lookout for further updates on DJ Akademiks, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake on HotNewHipHop.

Pusha T Seemingly Shades Drake With Response To Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Announcement

September 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pusha T showed love to Kendrick Lamar on his Instagram Story on Sunday after the NFL announced that the rapper will be performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. In doing so, he shared a quote from Lamar’s announcement in which he seemingly dissed Drake. “You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship — no round twos,” Lamar said. Drake recently teased being ready for a “Game 2” on his Instagram page.

While sharing Lamar’s remark, Pusha wrote: “This is true…” with a shrugging emoji. Pusha notably feuded with Drake as well back in 2018 with the release of “The Story of Adidon.” Lamar actually referenced that feud in his diss track, “Euphoria.” He rapped: “I don’t like you poppin’ s**t at Pharrell, for him, I inherit the beef/ Yeah, f**k all that pushin’ P, let me see you push a T/ You better off spinnin’ again on him, you think about pushin’ me?/ He’s Terrence Thornton, I’m Terence Crawford, yeah, I’m whoopin’ feet.”

It’s unclear whether Lamar will bring anyone else out for his performance, although Master P recently suggested that New Orleans legend Lil Wayne should make an appearance. Following his set at The Pop Out – Ken & Friends show in Los Angeles, Lamar already performed several of his Drake diss tracks live, including “Not Like Us,” “Euphoria,” and more. He’s also rumored to be working on a new album.

50 Cent Takes Heat From Desiigner In New Diss Track

September 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During his recent appearance on Million Dollaz Worth of Game with Gillie Da Kid and Wallo, 50 Cent opened up about his decision not to sign Desiigner to G-Unit. He recalled meeting with the “Panda” rapper amid the success of his breakout hit. Sadly, he was disappointed after asking about what else he had in the vault. “The n***a came to me, what’s the n***a’s name? He sounded like Future. Panda, panda, panda,” he explained. “I met with him before he did the deal with Kanye and them.”

“I had him at the office, I was like, ‘Yo, let me hear the other records you got.’ And he’s like… ‘That’s it,’” 50 Cent also added. “And the sh*t was so hot that he had, I was struggling. But I was like, ‘Nah, I can’t give that n***a that money. Let them give him whatever the f*ck they gonna give him.’”

Desiigner Claims 50 Cent “Was Never Worth A Deal”

A post shared by Desiigner (@lifeofdesiigner)

Desiigner caught wind of Fif’s comments and decided to fire back with a diss track, which he recorded from his car and posted on Instagram. “Response back to 50 Cent,” he wrote alongside the clip. “POV: Another HIT.” On the track, Desiigner brags about getting signed by Kanye West, claiming that’s what he would have preferred. “N****s talking that 50 Cent, I be talking 50 mil,” he spits. “I got signed to Kanye, lil n***a, you was never worth a deal.”

Obviously, Desiigner didn’t appreciate 50 Cent’s shady remarks. Fif has yet to respond to the diss for now, but social media predict that he’ll have plenty to say about it. What do you think of 50 Cent claiming he didn’t sign Desiigner because he didn’t have more than one hit? What about Desiigner firing back with a new diss track?

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill shared a video of himself listening to a freestyle he made over the beat to Drake’s diss track, “Family Matters,” on social media over the weekend. In the clip, he plays the track in a car while rapping along. Drake released the original version of the song, earlier this year, while feuding with Kendrick Lamar.

Fans had mixed responses to the freestyle on X (formerly Twitter). ”Literally copy’s anything Drake does, soon as Drake got braids he got them (don’t care if he had them years ago) also every single beat Drake raps on he has too rap on, he a fan,” one user argued. Another added: “It’s really astonishing how this man’s image flipped to ultimate goofy. I really can’t unsee it.” Others were more excited by the snippert. “This sound like Dreams & Nightmares Meek,” one fan remarked.

Meek’s flip of Drake’s “Family Matters” comes after he discussed his relationship with the Toronto rapper, last year. “Now we got to a space where we can text each other and say anything… We got that honesty where we can leave it on the table, and we can walk away, and feel good about that. And we ain’t have that before the beef,” he said on SiriusXM’s Hip Hop Nation. The two famously feuded back in 2015 but are clearly on much better terms nowadays.

Yungeen Ace seemingly dissed both Foolio and his mother while rapping over Cash Cobain’s hit song, “Problem,” for a new snippet. He debuted the track on Triller and immediately began catching attention on social media for lyrics that appear to address his late rival.

Despite the apparent diss, Ace recently shot down rumors about harboring ill feelings toward the late rapper. Speaking on Instagram Live in July, he expressed his condolences and said: “It’s so funny because me and bruh, we cool. Me and him, we cool and sh*t. So funny, I was just talking to him, I said, ‘Bruh, you gotta stay out the way. You know a ni**a love you out here, real sh*t. You know I f**k with you, real sh*t.’ Stay out the way. So, I’m saying to all the kids, stay out the streets.”

Foolio was shot and killed at a hotel parking lot in Tampa, Florida in June. He had been celebrating his 26th birthday at an Airbnb but was asked to leave due to exceeding occupancy limits. After moving to a nearby Holiday Inn, several gunmen ambushed him. Check out Yungeen Ace’s remix of “Problem” below.

LUCKI & KanKan Respond Harshly To Destroy Lonely’s Latest Diss Track

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Destroy Lonely is an artist who has been making strong waves on Playboi Carti’s OPIUM label. Overall, he has dropped some massive projects, and his fans adore him. However, over the past year, he has been wrapped up in controversies that have certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of fans. For instance, Lone recently came out and dissed LUCKI in a new snippet that was posted online. “Got my old b*tch so mad that I won’t f*ck her / I done surpassed my favorite rappers, guess I’m lucky,” he rapped.

There was also a shot at KanKan in there, which led to responses from both KanKan and LUCKI. Below, you can see that the two had similar insults, although they took different approaches to calling out the artist. “Y’all paint your nails and wear dresses sometimes. How you wanna be a street guy now?” LUCKI said while on Instagram Live. Meanwhile, KanKan went on an extended Twitter rant where he called Destroy Lonely a “cross-dresser.”

KanKan & Lucki Vs. Destroy Lonely

One has to wonder how Playboi Carti feels about all of this. After all, Destroy Lonely is his artist, and the man represents the OPIUM brand. Meanwhile, Carti is attempting to work on his album which was supposed to drop at some point this year. While there was a ton of hype for a release at the top of the year, we are now left waiting. Only time will tell whether or not the project gets scrapped or ends up shocking people at the last moment of the year.

Be sure to let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Whose side are you on in this ongoing feud? Do you believe that these three can piece it up, or this a beef that is destined to continue? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Pras Admits He’s Frustrated For Fugees Fans After Last-Minute Tour Cancelation

August 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, Lauryn Hill canceled the North American leg of her Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill anniversary tour with the Fugees, just days before it was scheduled to begin. Of course, supporters were disappointed, prompting Hill to deliver an explanation on Instagram. She told followers that “some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales.”

This sparked even more backlash, as fans questioned why she wasn’t taking accountability for her reputation of frequent tardiness and cancelations. Fellow Fugees artist Pras agreed with those calling Hill out, telling TMZ at the time that he too has grown frustrated by her offstage antics. Now, he’s weighed in on the debacle yet again, this time in a recent chat with Vulture. To start, he addressed his new song “Bar Mitzva,” which many believed was a diss track.

Pras Denies Dissing Lauryn Hill

He denies this, insisting that he was simply expressing himself. “You’re family, you have internal disagreements, but it’s not going to be on a level where I’m dissing her — that doesn’t make any sense,” he told the outlet. “Artistically speaking, sometimes we say things because that’s how we express ourselves. […] This track is me speaking my truth. When I was writing the record, those lines just came out.”

He added that “everyone’s frustration has been building up” about the tour cancelation, as “this is not something that just happened overnight.” Pras also feels for supporters who were looking forward to seeing them live, only to have the opportunity taken away unexpectedly. “They are paying their hard-earned money to see you,” he explained. “We’re going on almost three decades of our existence, individually and as a group. To have people still interested in wanting to come see you, man, you have to be grateful.” What do you think of Pras’ take on Lauryn Hill’s last-minute Fugees tour cancelation? Do you agree with him or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Nicki Minaj Enlists Cardi B’s Rival Bia For “Gag City Reloaded” Tour

August 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have a long history of not getting along, and fans suspect that the former’s latest announcement arrived alongside some subtle shade. Yesterday, Nicki took to X to unveil dates for the second leg of her Pink Friday 2 tour, which she’s dubbed “Gag City Reloaded.” It begins in September and will run into November, and the Barbz can’t wait. She also revealed who will be joining her on the tour, Skillibeng, Tyga, and Bia.

“#GagCityReloaded will be a beautiful, magical dream come true,” she wrote. “Better than the 1st half & that wasn’t easy to do. New looks, set list changes, other secrets, ummmm new music? Lemme think about it. Thank you to the team doing this with me again. They’re simply the best. To the guest artists who will come out in their cities, thank you in advance; and to these 3 TALENTS (who I have so much love & respect for) for taking the G6 to #GAGCITY just for the Barbz & me. @tyga @bia @skillibeng. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!”

Nicki Minaj Prepares For “Gag City Reloaded” Tour

Of course, Bia has her own history of feuding with Cardi, which reached a peak earlier this year. Bia put Cardi on blast for threatening to sue her over cheating accusations and later dropped a diss track about the “Enough” rapper. On it, she continued to accuse Cardi of infidelity, tore apart her overall persona, and even name-dropped her kids. As far as fans know, a lawsuit was never filed, though Cardi later teased what might have been a response which has yet to be released.

What do you think of Nicki Minaj gearing up for the second leg of her tour? What about Bia joining her for “Gag City Reloaded” after beefing with Cardi B? Are you surprised or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
