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

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.”

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

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.

50 Cent Takes Heat From Desiigner In New Diss Track

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”

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?

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.

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.

So, I’m saying to all the kids, stay out the streets.”

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

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 

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.

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 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.

Lil Pump Teases Pro-Donald Trump Track After Ditching Kamala Harris Diss

It’s no secret that Lil Pump is a huge supporter of Donald Trump, and recently, he even promised to go after his rival Kamala Harris with a scathing diss track. He teased the diss on X last week, announcing plans to perform it at an upcoming Trump rally. While many thought this was a step too far, others were looking forward to hearing what he had cooked up. It doesn’t look like that’ll happen anytime soon, however, as the rapper recently announced that he’s opted to drop a pro-Trump anthem instead.

In a post shared on X last night, Lil Pump revealed his new plans, also sharing that he’s being backed by Trump’s team. “Not dropping a diss song,” he began. “I know some ppl wanted it but it would hurt what we are fighting for which is to get President Trump in office. Can’t stoop down to the liberals level IM DROPPING A PRO TRUMP SONG WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE TRUMP TEAM!! YES THIS IS BIG!!”

Lil Pump Announces Pro-Trump Song

Lil Pump’s latest announcement certainly doesn’t mean he’s changed his stance on Harris. In fact, earlier this month, he said that he’ll be leaving the country if she becomes president. This seems extreme, although it doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise. In the past, Lil Pump has already shown his support for Donald Trump with wild hairstyles, rants, and even a tattoo. With that being said, his declaration left social media users split. While some couldn’t bear to watch him go, others think they’d get over it pretty quickly.

What do you think of Lil Pump announcing that he’s ditched his previously announced Kamala Harris diss track? What about him revealing that he plans to drop a pro-Donald Trump song backed by his team instead? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Pras Disses Lauryn Hill On New Song Amid Tour Cancelation Drama

Pras has reportedly dissed his longtime Fugees collaborator, Lauryn Hill, on an unreleased song obtained by AllHipHop titled, “Bar Mitzfa.” The move comes after Hill canceled the group’s Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Anniversary Tour. On the unreleased song, Pras raps: “Don’t blame me, blame her/She made the mess/Not another f*ckin’ penny, what I told ‘Clef.”

Hill’s move came just before the 18-date trek across the United States was set to kick off in Tampa, Florida. The legendary group was set to perform in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, and several more cities.

In announcing the cancelation, Hill blamed the media for playing into a “narrative” about her attendance record at concerts. “The trust and faith I have in my intentions and my commitment to my art seem to have been overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal,” Hill wrote. “The audiences in the UK and Europe not only haven’t seen the Miseducation Anniversary performances yet, they also haven’t seen the Fugees perform together in over 25 years! Performing for my fans is a profound exchange of energy and emotion that excites me every time. Every show is a piece of my expression and testament to our connection and shared love for music. I can assure you that no one is more disappointed about not being able to perform than I am.”

Pras initially reacted to news of the cancelation while speaking with TMZ Hip Hop. “I saved her reputation for 20 years by not telling my side of the story,” he told the outlet. “But oops … cat’s out the bag.” As of now, dates in the UK and Europe are still scheduled to continue. Be on the lookout for further updates on Pras and Lauryn Hill on HotNewHipHop.
