Tom Hardy’s First Time Meeting Eminem Made The Actor ‘Feel Like A Real D*ck’

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When the average person meets their favorite celebrity losing cool points doesn’t matter. However, the same grace isn’t always extended to other celebrities. Venom: The Last Dance star Tom Hardy experienced this first hand when he met Eminem.

During his appearance on DJ Whoo Kid’s Whoo’s House Podcast, Hardy recounted his embarrassing first encounter with the “Somebody Save Me” rapper.

“I went to his concert and I felt sorry for him,” he said. “Because I got ushered to his dressing room backstage to say hello. and he had to take a photo with me and I felt like a real d–k. He’s nice, but he had to go on stage. So it’s like he’s prepping to do his job and then some idiot like me comes in and was like, ‘Hey!’ He just deadpanned me. I was like, ‘OK. Now is not the time, we’ll save this for another time.’”

Eminem fans online found Hardy’s confession hilarious considering his notoriously reclusive personality paired with the now viral photo (viewable here).

“This is the most Eminem thing ever ,” wrote one fan.

“Eminem just being Eminem around Tom Hardy will never not be funny,” chimed another.

DJ Whoo Kid Teases Another Diss From Drake: “More Coming Soon”

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Whoo Kid was the first voice fans heard on Drake’s “Push Ups.” It was a surprising inclusion, but it made perfect sense given Whoo Kid’s affiliation with 50 Cent and the classic rap feuds of the 2000s. He knows how to play the game from the hype man perspective, and that’s exactly what he did for Drake on Instagram. A day after “Push Ups” leaked online, Whoo Kid hopped on the platform to tease more disses from the Canadian superstar.

Whoo Kid didn’t provide fans with any specifics regarding the diss tracks, but he did tell them to get ready. “More coming soon,” he wrote over a screenshot from the comedy film Major Payne. Whoo Kid’s involvement in “Push Ups” makes him a legitimate source of information regarding Drake disses, and the Reddit thread r/Drizzy pointed out that Whoo Kid’s vocals resemble his introductions on the old G-Unit mixtapes. The same mixtapes that established Whoo Kid’s brand and allowed 50 to take shots at dozens of other rappers. As a result, some theorize that Drake will drop a G-Unit style mixtape hosted by Whoo Kid. The operative word here being “theorize.”

Drake certainly has enough enemies to fill up an entire mixtape. He’s currently beefing with Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, The Weeknd, Future and Metro Boomin. He took shots at all of them on “Push Ups,” but made it clear that he had more to say. “This ain’t even everything I know, don’t wake the demon up,” he rapped in the second verse. Whoo Kid’s relationship with Drake dates back a decade, but the DJ claims that he never gets personally invested in beefs.

During a 2016 interview with BBC Radio, DJ Whoo Kid said he always made a point of keeping things professional. “Never choose sides,” he asserted. “I been with 50 for a million years [but] I never choose sides. I know the levels of how deep the beef is, so depending on how deep the beef is, it puts a plug on whether I play the [diss] song or not on my show.” It doesn’t sound like there’s a plug on the tracks Whoo Kid and Drake have been cooking up, however. Hopefully the DJ’s claims of “soon” come to fruition.

It’s 2024 And Eminem Is Still Using A BlackBerry Phone, Which They Don’t Even Make Anymore

February 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem has taken living in the past to a whole new level. Apparently, the “Stan” rapper’s key to cutting out the noise online is to downgrade his tech. Yesterday (February 22), DJ Whoo Kid revealed to his million Instagram followers that his longtime friend and collaborator still uses a BlackBerry phone. (BlackBerry, by the way, hasn’t made a new phone in years.)

He wrote, “#Eminem was trying to figure out who ate his last mom’s spaghetti box in the dressing room. I was like @momsspaghettidetroit I told him it was @iamdenaun and by the way yes. He still has a blackberry phone.”

While most followers focused on DJ Whoo Kid’s photo of homemade spaghetti, others couldn’t help but point out the technological relic.

“[Is] that a blackberry,” asked rapper Gashi, leading others to dogpile on.

DJ Whoo Kid, seemingly experiencing secondhand embarrassment, replied, “Yes. He still has it.”

Another user called out their friend and Eminem for being “the only people left in this world communicating w BlackBerry.”

“LMAOOOO the blackberry phone,” wrote one user.

“Does using a Blackberry keep you from aging or what Slim,” jokingly asked one user.

Maybe vintage tech is the foundation of youth everyone’s so desperately been after. Or it could just be Eminem being his typical introverted self. There is no way you can get into an X (formerly Twitter) spat if your phone can’t even access the app in the first place. Kendrick Lamar’s Pgland company might’ve found its ideal customer for their anti-distraction device, LightPhone.

Eminem Responds To Rumors That He And 50 Cent Are Secretly Working On A Joint Album

January 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When Eminem isn’t unabashedly throwing his support behind the Detroit Lions, the “Doomsday Pt. 2” rapper is shaking things up in the booth.

In the past few months, Eminem has done things like show off his award-winning lyrical skills on a posthumous Juice WRLD track. But fans are craving more. A viral rumor suggests that one could be in the works. Alas, during a phone call with DJ Whoo Kid on January 28, Eminem responded to rumors that he and 50 Cent are secretly working on a joint album.

“Where’d that come from?” he said. “I don’t know whose idea that was, but that’s crazy.”

Although Eminem shut down the whispers of a collaborative project, he went on to add that he’s open to it. “Whatever he needs from me, I’m here,” he said. “That sh*t would be crazy. An album with me and him.”

Last year, Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz dropped CollegeGrove 2. Meek Mill and Rick Ross came together for Too Good To Be True. So, there’s a lane wide open and eager to hear Eminem and 50 Cent exchange bars.

We need another 50 album like really bad. 50’s on a roll right now. He’s been on a roll since the tour. I told him whatever the fuck he needs from me, I’m here.

July 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Will.i.am says that 2Pac once stole the girlfriend of Black Eyed Peas member Apl.de.Ap. He recalled the story during an interview with DJ Whoo Kid for the Whoo’s House podcast. While he explained that he never met the legendary rapper, Will.i.am told the story of Apl.de.Ap’s girl leaving him at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles after seeing 2Pac.

“I never met Biggie,” Will.i.am said, “I never had an interaction with 2Pac, but Apl.de.Ap in the Black Eyed Peas, he had this girlfriend. I don’t wanna name her name or put her on blast, and they were eating at freaking Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles.”

Will.i.am continued: “She was hot, bro. She was a beautiful Puerto Rican young girl, when we were kids. 2Pac did like this [beckoning gesture] and then she was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ll be right back.’ 30 minutes later, [Apl’s] chicken waffles got all cold, freaking syrup got all freaking stiff, butter got freaking liquidy. And he was like, ‘She ain’t coming back…’ That’s his classic 2Pac [story].” Check out the full conversation below.

It’s not the first time Will.i.am has made headlines for discussing 2Pac. Just last year, he admitted that he wasn’t a fan of the legendary rapper’s music during an interview with The Art of Dialogue. When asked to choose between The Notorious B.I.G. or 2Pac, he went with KRS-One.

Will.i.am Discusses 2Pac With DJ Whoo Kid

“I’m such a Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul head that I don’t like 2Pac and Biggie,” he said at the time. “That kind of music doesn’t speak to my spirit. I like Boogie Down Productions, KRS-One … if it’s like 2Pac or Biggie? It’s KRS-One. Why those two? If it’s 2Pac and Biggie, I don’t hold them up like that. I hold Eric B. and Rakim like that. 2Pac’s dope, don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I don’t think he’s dope.”

February 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Eminem has helped inspire a generation of rappers looking to get an inch of his success, and Logic hasn’t minced words when praising the Detroit. There aren’t many artists who can boast about landing Eminem bars on a track. However, Logic did just that when he partnered with Marshall Mathers on “Homicide.” It was a collaboration that found much success, and Logic is sharing how it happened.

“I got called that he likes the song. He’s gonna do the song,” Logic told DJ Whoo Kid for his Whoo’s House podcast. “And a week later, I get a call that’s like, ‘Yo, Em wants you to go open up for him in Hawaii at a stadium. Oh, sh*t! So hyped! You don’t understand, bro. I used to put, ‘Forgot About Dre,’ I used to have my sister put that sh*t from a radio on a cassette. She would put it back and forth, so it would be all the way on Side A and all the way on Side B.”
