Drake Supports French Montana’s Documentary Despite Rick Ross’ Cease And Desist Accusations

October 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in April of this year, Rick Ross went after Drake in his scathing diss track, “Champagne Moments.” It was in response to shade thrown on Drake’s track “Push Ups,” which features a bar about Ross’ age and his biggest hits being with Drake. On it, he accuses the Toronto hitmaker of having cosmetic surgery, using ghostwriters, and more.

Ross also accuses Drake of hitting French Montana with a cease and desist over his “Splash Brothers” verse on the fiery track. “I unfollowed you, n***a ’cause you sent/ The motherf*ckin’ cease-and-desist to French Montana, n***a/ You sent the police, n***a, hatin’ on my dawg project,” he raps. Ultimately, the song was released with Lil Wayne replacing Drake. Gamma CEO Larry Jackson later confirmed this was true during an appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast.

“The cease-and-desist letter was a real thing. I thought that was really funny…but other than that, I got nothing,” he explained. “We all have different senses of humor. I thought it was funny, I didn’t think anybody was really trying to be nefarious. I just thought it was a joke.” Now, however, it at least appears that Drake and French Montana could be back on good terms. Recently, social media sleuths noticed that Drizzy liked one of French Montana’s Instagram posts about his upcoming documentary, The French Montana Story: For Khadija.

It’s worth noting that Drake is billed as an executive producer and a cast member of the film on IMDb. It’s unclear exactly when it was filmed, but it first premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival. What do you think of Drake liking French Montana’s Instagram post despite Rick Ross previously accusing him of sending French Montana a cease and desist?

Rick Ross Discusses Possible Drake Reconciliation

September 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yung Miami recently hosted Rick Ross on her Caresha Please podcast, getting into a slew of topics around their lives and careers. Unsurprisingly, a big part of this discussion concerned his ongoing beef with former close collaborator Drake, which formed part of 2024’s Kendrick Lamar battle. At one point in the conversation, the Maybach Music Group mogul reflected on why their relationship soured, how he would characterize this development, and whether or not he sees them burying the hatchet one day. Considering how much great material they have together over more than a decade, we knew this question would come up eventually.

“Nah, I’m not going to say it’s business,” Rick Ross answered when Yung Miami asked if the Drake beef was personal or money-oriented. “He mentioned my name and that’s a no-no. Don’t do that. Especially when it ain’t about no real s**t. […] I enjoy that I can wake up every day and say BBL Drizzy or some more s**t while I’m smoking a joint, listening to the waterfalls and all that s**t, looking at the birds fly off. That s**t easy for me, but is everybody built for this? It most definitely could be a real thing.”

Rick Ross Addresses Drake’s Alleged Plastic Surgery On Caresha Please

Then, Yung Miami asked if Rick Ross would ever be down to have a phone call with Drake to settle their differences. After all, she brought up that Rozay mediated the Toronto superstar’s feud with Meek Mill. “I don’t know, it depend on how I feel,” he answered before doubling down on his plastic surgery claims against The Boy. “Me being boss, everybody don’t understand the opportunities they have,” Ross said of how he feels about their falling out. “Some n***as take s**t for granted. I don’t know what it is. Everybody that’s been loyal to me or been down with me, you know that’s something that I extend for the longevity of time.

“I just think when you not really from the streets, and really understand the way certain things work sometimes, you could take s**t for granted,” Rick Ross went on. “Then two months later s**t be looking crazy for you when you really could have just… This s**t just really be a phone call. A lot of this s**t be a misunderstanding. But when you jump out there, I don’t know homie.” They also talked about his fight with Drake fans in Vancouver, with him explaining why he lost and how things could’ve turned out worse for OVO die-hards if he had proper backup.

Rick Ross Reflects On Fight With Drake Fans And Explains Why He Lost

September 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross was Yung Miami’s latest guest on the Caresha Please podcast, and they had a whole lot of stuff to discuss. Of course, they couldn’t go long without referencing the massive Drake beef that took place this year, as well as The Biggest Boss’ run-in with OVO die-hards in Canada. For those unaware, a group of Drizzy fans confronted Ross at a Vancouver festival after he played Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” resulting in a mini-brawl between the two entourages. The former City Girl asked Rozay about his claim that no one punched him despite footage showing otherwise, and he explained how the altercation could’ve been much worse for his opponents.

“You saw a video of what?” Rick Ross responded to Yung Miami’s question about the alleged sucker punch. “Like I said, Rozay felt like a drink was [thrown]. ‘Cause once I – ‘Get back, p***y n***as!’ That whole s**t cleared up.” He ran away after the punch during this incident in which various of his colleagues got a nasty beating. But the Maybach Music Group mogul elaborated on why this would’ve turned out much differently if he had some more of his usual backup.

The discussion around the Vancouver fight begins at around the 39:40-minute mark.

“All my homies that traveled with me, them n***as couldn’t come in ’cause of their felonies,” Rick Ross stated. “If I would’ve just had two or three more of my homies with me, we would’ve stripped them n***as out their drawers and socks.” He clarified that his assistant and his DJ (whom he called his “little homies”) were the only ones there to accompany and assist him, as well as one security guard.

“We got our paper, we got to the jet and, as a matter of fact, we went and had some Wingstop, so that was light work,” Rick Ross continued. “I ain’t even tripping ’cause like, I told them, ‘Y’all n***as did that like a G. Everybody got to the crib. That’s what it’s about.’ […] We had a conversation. ‘Let’s get back to the money.’ All my homies that usually travel with me, them the n***as that was upset. They was more upset than us.”

Fivio Foreign Explains His Controversial Rick Ross Mention On New Song “Blacc Out”

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fivio Foreign and Rick Ross have a tight rap relationship, which is why so many folks expressed confusion at the former’s new song, “Blacc Out.” Moreover, the track contains the following bar: “When I go overseas, I’m a big dog / N***as never gon’ treat me like Rick Ross.” A lot of fans thought that this was actually a shot at the Maybach Music Group mogul, but the New York drill artist quickly took to Twitter on Thursday (August 29) to clear the air. “And that was deff not a shot at Ricc Ross. Smh Yall take everything outta context,” he expressed.

Furthermore, the specific bar refers to an incident that Rick Ross faced in Vancouver, where a group of Drake fans fought him and his crew for playing “Not Like Us.” This was a big enough moment that no one really doubted what Fivio Foreign was referring to, even if the intent behind it came under fire. After all, why would you make light of how folks treated one of your colleagues, especially in a way that makes a distinction between how he reacted and how you would? Even if this wasn’t meant as a diss, it doesn’t paint Rozay in the best light, either.

Fivio Foreign Denies Dissing Rick Ross

Speaking of Rick Ross’ rap beef, he recently explained why he launched a diss track this year against Drake, but not against The Game. “”On some rap s**t, it was no conspiracies,” he told Shannon Sharpe during his Nightcap Summer Sessions in Houston. “Rozay name was said, Rozay, I’ma jump off the porch. That’s what I do… I’ma jump off the porch and I’ma have some fun, and that’s what I did, I had some fun.” “Not responding is a response when you a boss,” The Biggest Boss said of the Los Angeles MC.

Meanwhile, Fivio Foreign faces much more harsh criticism for other matters. One of these is his vocal support of Donald Trump, which rubs many fans the wrong way. Another concerns a video on Fivio’s social media page that shows a drug user shooting up. Many found this insensitive, so they might have stuck to their preconceived notions and made up a Rick Ross diss in their heads.

Rick Ross Reveals Why He Responded To Drake And Not The Game

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Amid the viral 20 V. 1 Drake beef of the summer, Rick Ross jumped in, taking various shots at the Toronto hitmaker on “Champagne Moments.” Of course, his taunting appeared to backfire soon after, when he was attacked in Vancouver for playing Kendrick’s Drake diss “Not Like Us” at a festival. He opened up about the feud with Shannon Sharpe for Nightcap Summer Sessions from Houston this week, making it clear why he decided to respond in the first place.

“On some rap sh*t it was no conspiracies,” he began. “Rozay name was said, Rozay, I’mma jump off the porch. That’s what I do… I’mma jump off the porch and I’mma have some fun, and that’s what I did, I had some fun.” From there, Ross also explained how he decides whether or not to respond, an apparent nod to The Game.

Rozay Says Not Responding Is A Response

The Game unleashed a scathing diss track directed at Ross in May, “Freeway’s Revenge,” blasting him for his past as a correctional officer, lifestyle choices, and much more. Ross never responded aside from some shady Instagram Stories, but according to him, this was a response in itself. During the interview, Ross explained that his choice to respond or not respond is determined by whether or not he has something to gain from it. “Not responding is a response when you a boss,” he added.

The Game isn’t the only person Rick Ross has yet to respond to, however. The Drake fan who attacked him in Vancouver, Icarus, mocked him for the brawl on a diss track called “White Boy” earlier this month. What do you think of Rick Ross opening up about his beef with Drake during a recent interview with Shannon Sharpe? What about his explanation for responding to Drake and not The Game? Do you agree that not responding was a response in itself? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

DJ Premier Announces Lil Wayne And Rick Ross Collab Amidst Drake Beef

July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Premier can still bring out the A-list. The legendary producer confirmed that he’ll be dropping a brand new single on Friday, July 26. Big Sean, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne will contribute bars to the song, which is titled “Ya Don’t Stop.” We can practically hear the DJ scratch chorus already. It’s a stellar roster of talent, but the thing that caught most people’s eye has nothing to do with the song itself. Rozay has spent all of 2024 dissing one Aubrey Drake Graham. Lil Wayne, on the other hand, has been one of the few who has stayed in the 6 God’s corner. Is this not a conflict of interests?

Rick Ross and Lil Wayne have a working relationship outside of Drake, of course. The two rappers have been collaborating for nearly two decades. The thing is, Drake has served as the glue on their biggest hits. “I’m on One,” “No New Friends” and “Pop That” are anchored by Drizzy bars, and in some cases, Drizzy hooks. Ross has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with the Toronto rapper, dropping a diss record and making numerous jokes over social media. Ross has been blasting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” all summer. Lil Wayne, on the other hand, has tried to rework the lyrics of “Not Like Us” and was booed for it.

DJ Premier’s Star-Studded Single Drops On July 26

DJ Premier is a name that commands respect, so one can assume that Ross and Wayne are going to set their differences aside. Ironically, the only rapper of the bunch who’s landed a DJ Premier beat on their album is Drake. The Toronto rapper enlisted Preemo for 2018’s “Sandra’s Rose.” To be fair to Ross and Wayne, the rappers have been in similarly tense circumstances in the past. Both men have had issues with Cash Money founder Birdman, and even taken out their frustrations on record. There was also the “Splash Brothers” drama in April.

French Montana planned to release the posse cut “Splash Brothers” with Drake, Ross, and Wayne. Then, at the last minute, French removed Drake from the final version. There was speculation that Drake was to blame for the change, but there’s been no proof either way. It seems like Ross and Wayne have been able to maintain their friendship in light of recent beef. We’re eager to hear them over DJ Premier production, especially with Big Sean thrown in for good measure. We’ll also be listening for any subliminals on Ross’ part.

Bobby Shmurda Puts Rick Ross On Blast For Kicking Him Off Show Over Jumping Jokes

July 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, Rick Ross and his crew found themselves in some trouble at a festival in Vancouver, and the incident quickly went viral. In footage that made its rounds online, Ross could be seen getting attacked as Kendrick Lamar’s track “Not Like Us” played in the background, allegedly thanks to him. Fortunately, he didn’t appear to be too badly injured, though unsurprisingly, it earned him a great deal of clowning online.

According to Bobby Shmurda, however, Rick Ross isn’t willing to let any jokes about the wild incident slide. The rapper recently took to social media to put Rozay on blast, accusing him of kicking him off of a show for joking about the attack. He seemed frustrated by the situation, insisting that he doesn’t have any beef with Ross, and questioning why he didn’t get the news from him personally.

Bobby Shmurda Would Have Preferred A Personal Phone Call

In the video, Bobby explains that he respects Ross when it comes to business. For this reason, he doesn’t understand why he couldn’t simply give him a call. Instead, he claims he found out he was kicked off the show by someone else. “I don’t no want beef with none of y’all n****s,” he said. “You could have called me big homie.”

He went on, explaining that he was actually defending Ross in the video he made in response to the jumping incident. This is true, however, at the time he also seemingly criticized Ross for the way he handled the incident. According to him, if he were in that situation, he would have “went out like C-Murda.” What do you think of Bobby Shmurda accusing Rick Ross of kicking him off a show for joking about his jumping incident in Vancouver?

Drake Gets Trolled By Rick Ross After His Toronto Mansion Flooded

July 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Rick Ross have given fans so many good songs. Then, 2024 happened. The two rappers decided to become enemies and endlessly diss each other. There were disses in the form of songs, which both Drake and Ross participated in, and disses via social media. The latter has largely been abandoned by the 6 God, but Rick Ross has not let up. The MMG honcho decided to poke fun at his former friend after his Toronto mansion was flooded.

Drake posted an Instagram video of his flooded mansion on July 16. The damage was severe, as water was seen filling up one of the rooms on the property. Drake tried to make light of the situation with a silly caption: “This better be espresso martini.” Ross, being the professional troll that he is, couldn’t resist a joke of his own. He posted a comment on the post and wrote back: “minor issues,” with a smirking emoji. Ross has developed a habit for kicking other rappers when they’re down. Especially if he’s already had beef with them.

Drake Has Repeatedly Been Targeted By Rozay On IG

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Rick Ross targeted one of Drake’s so-called friends, The Game, on July 10. He saw a headline pertaining to The Game’s legal troubles, DM’d him the link, and proceeded to post the exchange on Instagram. The Game made fun of Rozay’s weight, but the latter clapped back with a ruthless jab. “Since we @’n n**gas, here you go b*tch,” he wrote. A few weeks prior, Ross went at Drake for having a flirty exchange with his baby mama, Tia Kemp. Kemp praised Drake for being a “GOAT,” and Ross clapped back in the comment section by typing: “pedo vs. granny.”

Drake, meanwhile, has taken a step back from beefing. He tried to take on half the rap industry earlier in the year. He did a pretty good job, even if he ultimately fell victim to the force of nature that is Kendrick Lamar. The rapper was recently pictured wearing a “rap is a joke” shirt on Instagram with the caption: “The pressure from being on top does more than just make your ears pop.” The shirt has led to lots of controversy, but the caption has mostly gone undiscussed. It’s clear Drake wants to move on and go about the business of making good music again.

Rick Ross Ironically Vibes Out To Drake Collab After His Vancouver Fight With OVO Fans

July 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Rick Ross’ persistent beef is one of the most surprising and also tragic things to emerge out of the whole Kendrick Lamar battle. After all, the two were once iconic and very frequent collaborators, but their rift has made live performances and concert setlists much tougher to navigate… well, for Rozay, anyway. Drizzy has a whole cavalcade of hits he can play without his rivals, but many highlights in Ross’ discography are with The Boy. So when he played their Wale collab “Diced Pineapples” at a recent festival, fans found this to be pretty ironic and not really something that you could flip into a satirical or ironic attack against the 6ix God.

Furthermore, this follows another recent festival incident for which Drake must have felt quite vindicated in his beef with Rick Ross. When the latter tried to play “Not Like Us” at a Vancouver festival, and was allegedly rude to people chastising him for it, a group of OVO fans attacked the rapper and they got into a scuffle with his crew. It was a viral incident that The Biggest Boss laughed off, but Aubrey surely had much more laughs. Ross continues to take this risk of playing with his name at live performances, but he’s a massive troll, so who’s really shocked?

Rick Ross Is Still Playing Drake Out In Festivals

In fact, this Vancouver incident provided more ammo for Rick Ross’ other opponents like 50 Cent, so he probably regrets the whole thing. Fif clowned Ross onstage during a performance in Canada, asking the crowd why they attacked him and even asking individual concert-goers if they were the ones to lay the smack down. If anyone had responded yes, we’re sure the Queens MC would’ve made a big deal out of it. If the Maybach Music Group mogul is a troll, then his G-Unit enemy is the biggest troll.

Meanwhile, others like Uncle Luke want to see this wrap up already. “This whole fighting with my boy Rick Ross and his guys in Canada, that’s unacceptable,” he remarked. “That [isn’t] supposed to happen. And what’s more unacceptable is when Mr. Drake liked the post. I expect more out of Mr. Drake. When there is violence, you don’t condone it. Drake, you should be bigger than that. You don’t like no posts because here’s what happens: there’s always a backlash to it all.”

Druski Claims He Warned People Not To “Sleep On Canadians” Before Rick Ross Fight

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Druski said he warned everyone about Canadians. After reports of a violent altercation between Rick Ross and his crew and purported Drake associates over the weekend, everyone raised their eyebrows. The occurrence happened at the Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver, and the news spread like wildfire. Fueled by viral video footage capturing the intense brawl. As tensions increased, multiple video clips emerged which showed a heated exchange that escalated into a physical altercation between Ross’s entourage and the alleged Drake affiliates. The chaotic scene unfolded abruptly, capturing moments of confrontation and physical altercation, showcasing the raw intensity of the incident.

The belief is that the DJ at the event played Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us,” which caused tensions to rise. It’s been a couple days now and things seemed to have cooled down. However, amidst the aftermath, TMZ seized the opportunity to inquire about the incident while running into Druski and DJ Drama at the airport. Druski made a quick and candid comment when asked about the incident.

DJ Drama And Druski In The Airport

“I told y’all don’t sleep on those Canadians, I told ya’ll,” Druski said in response to TMZ‘s question about the incident. His remark suggested that Canadians mean business when it comes to defending their own. As HNHH previously reported, a news account on social media by the name of 6ixaktv reposted the video on IG, and Drake liked the post. The caption read, “@richforever met the BC demons at his show tonight…He shouldn’t have played @kendricklamar hit record.” Moreover, the feud continues.

In addition to drama over the weekend, the BET awards ignited some mixed opinions on the topic of who should have won best new artist. During the same brief exchange at LAX, TMZ asked if they believed Sexyy Red was unfairly snubbed. DJ Drama candidly expressed his opinion, stating, “Yeah, I think she should have won.” However, the conversation quickly pivoted to acknowledge Tyla’s undeniable appeal and talent. DJ Drama was quick to highlight Tyla’s strengths, noting, “Tyla’s dope too, and she’s beautiful.”
