Sada Baby’s DJ Akademiks Beef Has Nothing To Do With Him, The Rapper Explains

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of DJ Akademiks’ many rap beefs this year was with Sada Baby, which happened after he got into it with someone from the rapper’s entourage. However, it seems like things aren’t actually that personal or contentious, and those words are from Yada himself. Moreover, he recently spoke to Adam22 of No Jumper, who was under the impression that he and Ak had a run-in or inciting incident of sorts. Then, the Detroit MC went on to explain that this was completely based on one of his friends’ bombast, and that the media personality shouldn’t be mad at him for something he never did.

Furthermroe, this is quite notable because Sada Baby fortunately squashed a lot of his rap feuds over the past few years. As such, you know that when he is looking for the smoke or dismissing it, he’s speaking from a knowledgeable and more healed place. For example, the Skuba Sada artist mended his relationship with Doe Boy earlier this year, which was great for hip-hop to witness. Hopefully even more people take cues from this behavior and think about what petty situations are really worth engaging in.

Still, we can’t give the 31-year-old all the credit when it comes to this beef-squashing, because there are other important players here. One of them actually shows up in this No Jumper interview: he mentions that the person that Akademiks is beefing with was, at that moment, with Skilla Baby. For those unaware, Skilla was instrumental in Tee Grizzley and Sada Baby leaving the past behind them and coming together by solving their grievances with one another. The result is a more unified scene in Detroit that is more able to support each other and develop individually without pressures of artificial loyalty.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that the former Everyday Struggle host will continue to catch hands within hip-hop. After all, it’s something that took his platform to new heights, and is a favorite pastime when it comes to rap fans aware of him. But Sada doesn’t want people thinking that he wants anything to do with it. For more news and the latest updates on DJ Akademiks and Sada Baby, keep checking in with HNHH.

Offset Reveals Why He Hasn’t Put Out Takeoff Tribute

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Offset’s new GQ interview covers a lot: the process behind his new album Set It Off, taking inspiration from Tyler, The Creator, and so much more. However, one crucial and very revealing part of the conversation regards the tragic loss of his Migos partner, Takeoff. Moreover, the Georgia trap icon explained why he hasn’t yet released a full tribute track or any form of music or content dedicated to Take. His words ring especially true in a time in which fans want music like this to not only resonate emotionally, but perform commercially.

This pressure, plus the vibes that ‘Set went for on Set It Off, went at odds with the heart and message he wants to put into his art to cathartically and respectfully pay homage to his fallen friend. “It’s way more fun,” Offset remarked about his project. “I didn’t want to talk about tragedy. Talk about… I ain’t ready to talk about that s**t yet, first and foremost. I don’t know how to do it, but I didn’t want to just be making an album about bad s**t and dissing and putting that type of energy on the project. It was going to make my mind be in a different place.

“The world is not ready for it. Because [everyone] is so judgmental,” Offset continued. “They want you to make a song pouring your heart out that’s a hit. There is a song on there that’s kind of expressing that s**t, though, which is ‘Upside Down.’ It’s feeling confident I’m going to go up with the music, but I’m down every day. It’s the challenge of trying to be the best at your worst times.”

Meanwhile, this adds to other small tidbits and insights into the 31-year-old’s career and evolution over the years. Another shocking, interesting, and frankly disagreeable revelation was that he originally hated “Ric Flair Drip.” All we can hope for is that the effort put into a Takeoff tribute is healing and resonant, regardless of what fans may expect or what metrics they may use to judge it. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Offset.

Joe Budden Explains Why Diddy Segment Of His Podcast Was Deleted: Watch

November 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Joe Budden and company recently addressed the Diddy situation on their podcast, and they had a pretty controversial take on it. They didn’t think they needed to validate people’s disapproval with their own criticisms, which ruffled some feathers online. In fact, it prompted the team to take that segment of their discussion down from social media and other platforms on which they shared it. Now, during the most recent episode of the rapper and media personality’s show, he explained why he felt it necessary to delete their thoughts on it. Overall, it seems like he doesn’t want any legal trouble with Sean Combs, whom he claimed is a fan of their program.

“Oh, man. Well, I did it for legal reasons,” Joe Budden began his breakdown of why he deleted the Diddy segment. “I did it for a myriad of reasons. But, first and foremost, the legal portion. Y’all ain’t about to clip this set up and just attach it to whatever story and narrative you want to attach it to. I been on this here Internet a long time. Before some of y’all was born out there. I know how it goes, and I know how the blog sites work on a slow weekend. And I know what they do from experience because they mostly use me to do it. I don’t be trying to give them nothing, I be in my little hut somewhere, and they go dig something up.

“They say that you responding to something you not responding to, they take one piece and if they think you talking about it, they put some text,” Joe Budden continued. “Two, what if that n***a did all that s**t he’s accused of? Like, in the rumors. Why would I want to inherit that? What if he did some of that s**t? Like, the violent stuff. You saying that. Stop, this ain’t time for your Internet s**t that you do, this is real s**t going on. If some of that is true, then why would you want to inherit that? Sounds like a headache, don’t sound like the risk is worth the reward to me. And three, in the event that some people did not believe all the things that Cassie had to say in that civil suit, I don’t think that last week was a good time.

“[Doesn’t] seem like something a responsible podcast could do,” he concluded. “Fourth…. there’s a bunch, I could do this all day long! That n***a listens to this podcast! It means that if you have never been on the other side of accusations and stories being put out about you, and now having to hear the news cycle of people that you know and how they report on it, there’s a responsibility that comes with that. Regardless, the Internet- like I said- has the luxury of forming an opinion. I think that n***a did it, I think he didn’t do it. Whatever you think. But right this second, I’ll speak for me, I don’t have proof.” For more news and the latest updates on Joe Budden and Diddy, stick around on HNHH.

Keke Palmer’s Mom Explains “Usher Is Gay” Take From Darius Jackson Spat

November 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

What was once a simple story of jealousy, gender standards, and relationship dynamics has devolved into something much darker. For those unaware, Keke Palmer filed a restraining order against her former partner, Darius Jackson, and requested sole custody of their recently born child. Moreover, this followed a public spat in which he criticized her for wearing revealing clothing and happily getting serenaded by Usher during his Las Vegas residency. In a leaked alleged phone call, the actress’ mother supposedly went off on Jackson, accusing him of harassment and saying he has mental problems. During this, she apparently brought up the Usher incident with a wild take.

“Usher is gay!” Sharon Palmer allegedly expressed. “You and your stupid-a** family, y’all don’t even understand business. Usher’s gay, guys.” In a comment on The Neighborhood Talk‘s Instagram post covering this, Keke Palmer’s mother explained why she stated this. “The lie I told about Usher was to get Darius to stop abusing my daughter on account of his jealousy,” she clarified. “So I said he didn’t like women for her SAFETY. Everything else I meant with my chest and didn’t expect anyone to hear it because recording me is illegal. I guess he is okay with jail but I knew that when he put his hands on my daughter. He is still abusing her in all of this, trying to paint himself as a victim. Textbook behavior.”

Regardless of that Usher situation, if the allegations against Jackson are true, there’s abundant cause for Sharon to defend Keke Palmer. In her filing against her former partner, she claimed a systemic pattern of physical and emotional abuse, which sometimes allegedly occurred in front of their son. With a temporary restraining order and sole custody of their son, the 30-year-old will now have to go to court to determine whether this will be a permanent arrangement. A hearing for said decision will take place in early December, if everything goes as scheduled.

Meanwhile, Darius Jackson denied these claims and levied accusations of his own against her mom. His side of the story claims that Palmer threatened to shoot him and other considerations. Hopefully this is where the abuse stops and, for the sake of their son, things can become safe again. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and updates on Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson.
