Drake Fans Dub Him A Genius After Linking Kendrick Lamar Diss To The Plot Of An Infamous Paul Simon Movie

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s latest Instagram post shading Kendrick Lamar has his fans praising his fit and his wit, whereas his detractors are mocking him for taking the L. Moreover, both sides have plenty of reason to engage in the way they see fit: OVO die-hards have all the power in the world to brush off the opposition, and calling K.Dot a “one-trick pony” is frankly ridiculous. But some cinephiles within The Boy’s fanbase took note of how this IG caption could be a double entendre. Specifically, they pointed to the plot of the Paul Simon movie One-Trick Pony, a 1980 film with some interesting possible parallels to the Compton lyricist.

“Jonah is an aging rock star trying to put together a new album in the face of an indifferent record label and a talentless producer,” the Google search result for One-Trick Pony‘s plot synopsis reads. “At the same time, he’s struggling to save his failing marriage.” Of course, this lines up with the new album rumors, Metro Boomin beef, Top Dawg situation, and Whitney Alford claims that Drake engaged with during his Kendrick Lamar battle. But in a lot of ways, as much as his fans will use this against Kendrick, he did do him a favor by being at the center of what might be his biggest streaming year ever.

Drake Fans Have A Theory About “One-Trick Pony” Message’s Meaning

Regardless, it’s clear that there is a lot of bad blood between Drake and Kendrick Lamar that, at this point, really has no resolution in sight. In fact, Elliot Wilson claims that this is affecting the former’s relationship with media figures, including his own. Apparently, Aubrey Graham thinks that Wilson gave Kendrick information on him, as he allegedly sent the journalist a rat emoji when he inquired about his then-unreleased diss track, “Family Matters.” Was this a troll or an accusation?

Perhaps we’ll never really know. Regardless, both Kendrick Lamar and Drake are popping out these days, whether it’s at Adonis’ soccer game in this IG post’s case or at the Compton College class of 2024’s commencement ceremony. We’ll see what happens as they continue to navigate the aftermath of the battle and reflect on what happened. Will Drizzy ever let up on the subliminals or on his perceived victory, one that most fans seem to disagree with? At least he’s still a fan of his film references and wordplay.

Ice Spice Drives Fans Wild On NYC Streets By Twerking From Her Car

June 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice is going to great lengths to promote her upcoming debut album Y2K, and making sure that she witnesses the hype around her first-hand. Moreover, she recently drove some male fans on New York City streets wild by popping out from the sunroof of a black SUV and twerking for them for a little bit. The Bronx femcee turned around, laughed, and put on a big smile for the excited onlookers as she made her way through Broadway on whatever business she was on. It’s pretty curious to see these antics and moves considering that her previous creative promo moves didn’t really see her pop out herself.

Furthermore, we hope that Ice Spice felt inspired (whether or not it’s through dancing) to connect with fans more on an in-person level and stick around for the public. After all, she is an absolute superstar right now that probably has as many reasons to both entice and avoid the spotlight before her new LP. Fame is a fickle friend, and one that could really badger the 24-year-old at every turn in ways she can’t control or mitigate. Even a bowling alley shindig with Quavo inspires way more conversations and speculation than it probably should.

Regardless, Ice Spice definitely engages with her admirers online, including a defense of Y2K‘s album cover and its creator David LaChapelle. “David LaChapelle [did] #Y2K!” she shared to social media after people criticized the artwork. “Soooo sweet + legendary he didn’t even charge me cus he f**ks wit a real b***h [lipstick mark emoji]. thank U for all the incredible art you put out through the years this cover means everything to me [red heart emoji]. & yes Y2K was placed on the trash can on purpose can u guess why?”

After that, fans guessed, and perhaps we’ll never know the true answer to that question even after Y2K comes out. With a world tour set for this year as well, Ice Spice might just get the biggest year of her career so far. All we can hope for is that her drive to make each and every era the best yet is a trait that persists for years to come. Or, at the very least, that Spice keeps the streets tapped in.

Draya Michele Blasts Trolls Making Fun Of Her Matching Outfits With Jalen Green

June 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Draya Michele and Jalen Green recently hit up the “P By Gunna” clothing line launch on Thursday (June 6), and chose to don matching outfits for the occasion. Specifically, it’s a gray shirt that reads “Sex Ed,” which surely set off some online users and spectators who take issue with their age gap (Michele is 39, Green is 22, and they started dating when he was 21). Needless to say, their relationship became the subject of a lot of debate and discussion online, something that the actress and designer seems particularly annoyed with or confused by. Moreover, she took to her Instagram Story with a message for all the folks acting pressed over pictures of the two, be it for their fits or their gap.

“There is no picture or video on this app that could set me off in comments the way pics and videos of me do to people,” Draya Michele expressed. “It’s strange. I be wanting to know does your man, bestie, mom, employer know you just be serial typing negative s**t on here? Self evaluation–- what did that comment do for me? Anyway. I simply don’t look at things that upset me or could trigger me to spiral in a frenzy of negative thoughts. Try that.”

Draya Michele’s Message For The Haters

Elsewhere, Draya Michele announced the birth of her daughter with Jalen Green and paid tribute to her late father at the same time. “In 2021 on Mother’s Day, my dad passed away,” she expressed in an Instagram post. “Since then, it’s been extremely hard to celebrate that day without remembering the earth shattering phone call I received that morning. Well, this Mother’s Day was different. My daughter was safely brought into this world and I’m forever grateful for the new memories we all get to experience moving forward. Love + Light everyone.”

Meanwhile, Draya Michele’s post-pregnancy body also caught fans’ eyes as of late, adding to gossip and conversation around the couple. We can’t really guess how this will evolve in the future, but we’d say it’s more likely than not that people will keep commenting on anything they do. For the couple’s sake, hopefully they learn to block out the haters, take their criticism into serious account, or find a way to balance everything. Keeping up with critique can be exhausting, but let’s not pretend it should be difficult for celebrities.

Yung Miami Praises Rihanna As Her Role Model, Fans Question The Comparison

June 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yung Miami caught some undue flack from the Internet recently, all for her aspirational goals to one day become one of the music industry’s billionaires. Moreover, she recently reacted to the launch of Rihanna’s new haircare line and remarked how this represents what she wants to do with her own career as far as scale and reach. “Who I aspire to be!!!! That bag & status different!!” the former City Girl shared on her Instagram Story, and in the comments section of the Instagram post covering this down below, you’ll see some skeptical and defensive reactions alike. “How can yall have anything negative to say about this?! Shes inspired!” one fan wrote, with another adding “Whew Chile…we got a ton of work to do! [crying-laughing emoji].”

Furthermore, most people who made fun of Yung Miami’s aspirations referred more heavily to her alleged involvement in the Diddy scandal. For those unaware, a lawsuit named her as someone allegedly hired as a “sex worker” by Sean Combs, and also included claims of drug trafficking, assault, abuse, and more. Of course, most of these claims are still unverified and unclear under a court of law, especially those relating to the Florida MC. Still, it’s definitely not a good look for someone who wants to be a mogul one day.

Regardless, Yung Miami is looking forward to what the rest of her career, brand partnerships, and business ventures bring, especially in this new, exciting chapter of her life. “I had to really get back in my bag,” she told Complex of the City Girls split with JT. “People had just been talking to me crazy… So just going through s**t really motivated me to get in the studio and make music. I think when the City Girls album [RAW] just dropped, and it didn’t do too well, and we was just trying to do our press run. The whole rollout of the album was just so bad because we was just in two different spaces.

“We older now, and she [JT] was doing her own thing,” Yung Miami continued. “She on the West Coast, I’m in Miami. I’m doing my own thing. And I felt like naturally, when she doing her own thing, it just worked for her. And when I’m doing my own thing, it worked for me. But when we get together as a group, it just wasn’t connecting. It just wasn’t working no more.”

4batz Leaves Fans Puzzled After Announcing Solo Tour “Thank U, Jada”

June 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A lot of music fans are still not rocking with how quickly 4batz burst onto the scene. The Dallas, Texas native with the high-pitched, nasally singing voice is now one of the hottest names in the industry due to one song. One of the promotional singles for his debut EP, “act ii: date @ 8”, churned stomachs and turned a lot of heads as well. His sticky melody and the dreamy production caught the ears of big fish in hip-hop, namely Drake. He would — in Drizzy fashion — hop on another rising star’s track, tacking on some vocals for the song’s remix. Now, because of this rapid growth, 4batz in now going to head off solo on his first tour.

According to Uproxx, the 20-year-old phenom will kick off the Thank U, Jada extravaganza on July 29 in Chicago, Illinois. He will also hit major cities such as Brooklyn, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Los Angeles, as well his hometown of Dallas, and Austin as well. Touring will wrap up on August 10 in Oakland. Tickets will go on sale June 7 (this Friday), along with a presale beginning the day before at 10 a.m. local time. If you were not aware, u made me a st4r was partially created due to 4batz’ breakup with Jada, his now ex-girlfriend.

4batz Is Testing The Touring Waters Very Soon

Hilariously, he is giving her even more publicity by naming the headlining tour after her. One fan acknowledged this, even saying that he was going too far by giving her clout. “Umm u giving Jada too much recognition”. Speaking of reactions, some were scratching their heads as to why 4batz is even doing this to begin with. Of course, most of the arguments against doing it this early deal with his low number of songs, alluding to his “industry plant” label. “Tour for 5 songs?,” one user comments. “I fw batz but bro only got like 8 songs out ”, another adds. Regardless, this is another huge accomplishment, and we congratulate him and urge him to continue growing his brand.

What are your thoughts on 4batz going on a headlining tour? Do you think it is a little too early for him to be doing this, why or why not? What songs are you going back to from his debut project u made me a st4r? Do you still think he is an industry plant? What aspect of the song did you enjoy the most? Is he the best new rapper out of Milwaukee? Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding 4batz.

Kanye West Fans Left Stunned After Multiple Tracks Release To His YouTube Account Inexplicably

June 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is always dealing with some sort of issue, regardless of if it was caused by him or someone else. Currently, his accuser and former Yeezy employee, Lauren Pisciotta, is looking to sue the controversial mogul for sexual assault/harassment. Currently, no one really knows who is at fault here, as Ye has recently announced that he is suing Lauren back.

So much is still to come of that situation, so be sure to stay locked in with us. Right now, though, Kanye West has to deal with a potential hacker unloading multiple songs on his YouTube.

This all went down just moments ago, as it appears that 13 total tracks were leaked on to the official page of Mr. West. The capsule includes what could be unfinished demos and older sounding tracks. Additionally, they could be Donda leftovers, due to the all-black cover art on each song. Each one was released separately and not as a project. Or, since we are in the middle of the VULTURES era, these could be throwaways, too.

Chance The Rapper Releases Snippet Of Possible “Star Line” Single & Fans Are Head Over Heels For It

June 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chance the Rapper certainly dug himself into a deep hole when he dropped his debut studio album The Big Day. The 2019 project did boast quite an impressive feature list of Smino, Nicki Minaj, Lil Durk, Gucci Mane to even Shawn Mendes. However, after a successful run of mixtapes — Coloring Book (2016), Acid Rap (2013), and 10 Day (2012) — fans were expecting greatness. But nearly everyone was left lost and extremely disappointed. After that, the once beloved figure from Chicago was viewed as washed up. The mood does seem to be changing around Chance the Rapper, though, especially with these new singles and snippets.

After a long run of features for about three years, 2022 saw him drop some new solo material. From songs like “Child of God” to the most recent “Together”, these singles are possible cuts for Star Line. Sometimes called Star Line Gallery, it has been getting a lot of hype thanks to Chance’s improved performances. Even his “Writing Exercise” loosies have people excited again and rightfully so.

Chance Receives Nothing But Love For His Snippet

The hip-hop world is still awaiting a release date for Star Line. But there is no reason not to believe that it could drop in 2024. Even though we greedily want a concrete answer, Chance is keeping us full with these sporadic releases, including this most recent snippet above. It has been making the rounds online and it sees the veteran bring some dizzying flows and a little comedy to a drum-heavy beat. If this is the type of music we will receive, then Chance will have no problem reingratiating himself.

What are your thoughts on this new snippet from Chance the Rapper? Do you think that this upcoming project will be his best body of work, why or why not? Is this the best snippet/song you have heard for Star Line? If this album is great, will it put him back near the top of the list for best rappers out right now? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Cardi B Threatens To Sue BIA Over Diss Track: Fans React To “SUE MEEE?”

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rap beef feels like a hydra in 2024: one gets cut off, and about three more emerge to take its place in the conversation. Moreover, Cardi B and BIA officially entered the “on wax” portion of their once-rumored and now-apparent beef, as the latter launched the “SUE MEEE?” diss track against the former. The online consensus seems quite positive, as many had praise for the Massachusetts MC’s wordplay and flows, but others were too busy clowning or defending Bardi or expressing that the cut could’ve gone harder. Either way, the “Like That”-reminiscent beat and personal shots definitely set this diss in the pantheon of this year’s feuds.

Furthermore, this all came up because of fans thinking that Cardi B started to bite BIA’s style, a sentiment that the latter seemed in full agreement with. Of course, when it comes to influence and inspiration, not every single artist gets the proper credit that they deserve. But it’s also true that references don’t always indicate full biting, and that this is a pretty vague and up-to-interpretation debacle. No matter which side you fall on there, fans have a lot to say on the matter that could sway you to the other side.

BIA’s “SUE MEEE?” Diss Track Against Cardi B: Listen

Then, things got particularly heated when Cardi B seemed to diss BIA on the “Wanna Be” remix, a cut originally by GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion. The REALLY HER spitter seemed to mock Cardi in response online, and now it’s more clear than ever that she really took this as a big dig. It’s always a tough call with subliminals, especially when the previous “evidence” of beef was just some social media speculation. Sadly, this happens to femcees far too often, but this time around, there was a lot of truth behind it. Check out some reactions to “SUE MEEE?” down below.

Fans React To The Diss

Right now, in the aftermath of this diss track, Cardi B and BIA apparently had a “very nasty” phone call about their differences. Cardi threatened to sue her for spreading rumors that the Bronx rapper cheated on her partner Offset, which some fans thought was a step too far in rap beef. Only time will tell whether Bardi will respond with a track of her own. So move over, Kendrick Lamar and Drake: it’s time for the ladies to compete for a title.

Remy Ma Performs For Seemingly Small Crowd At DC Pride, Fans React

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Remy Ma often deals with a lot of trolls online, but when the actual narrative behind the trolling is unclear, it just makes for a messy situation overall. Moreover, a clip recently surfaced of her performing for a seemingly small crowd at DC Pride, which Barbz had a field day with. They clowned the femcee for the show’s size, her performance energy, or just chose to bring up the Nicki Minaj beef once more for good measure. However, one commenter in particular called this a misrepresentative interpretation, as they claimed this was apparently a pre-show event before her actual larger-scale performance for around 5,000 people.

Furthermore, at least this is a bit of a better look for Remy Ma compared to some other recent headlines that have raised eyebrows her way. For those unaware, she received accusations of cheating on Papoose with Eazy The Block Captain, a younger battle rapper. These allegations actually made it so deep into the battle rap space, and their particular lane within it, that Cassidy recently dissed Eazy on a new track. It wasn’t just an “I’m better than you” argument, but one that also brought up this alleged infidelity as an attack.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Not only that, but rumors that the two have split based on Remy Ma’s body language at Papoose’s birthday event haven’t really helped this narrative diminish. Either way, there’s a lot of drama going on right now in her life, which definitely has been the case for a couple of years now. It’s hard to not think about the Nicki Minaj beef as a leading cause of that, but it would be overly reductive to solely attribute this to that conflict. After all, there are plenty of ways in which careers don’t necessarily become less impactful, but can see a smaller or more measured reception.

In fact, given that Nicki Minaj had previously vaguely hinted at burying the hatchet with Remy Ma, maybe that’s not an important factor anymore. Still, we’ll see whether there are more widely spread clips of this DC Pride performance in the near future that could prove or disprove the current narrative. She’ll likely have some more releases, performances, and events to look forward to in 2024. Let’s see if they fill up more.

21 Savage’s Wife Shares Picture Of Him & Their Son, Fans React

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

21 Savage has been rumored to be in a relationship with Latto for a while now, so much so that it’s made fans suggest that he was already a married man. Moreover, his wife recently posted a picture of him and their son with the caption “Middle school here he come [graduate emoji]” on her Instagram Story. Many fans took to the comments section of the post below to messily bring up the alleged Latto fling, chastise fans for not knowing about the Atlanta rapper’s partner Keyanna Joseph, or to joke about this shock. Either way, their actual relationship status is unclear at press time, but at the very least, things seem quite amicable for the two, which is the most important thing.

Elsewhere, 21 Savage is keeping things pretty chill during his current tour… or at least, he’s trying to stay at a regular temperature. Recently, Soulja Boy decided to pick a fight with Metro Boomin, and 21 stepped in to defend his Savage Mode collaborator. While Soulja apologized to Metro, it seems like he’s still got smoke for the “redrum” MC, and there’s no telling whether either will double down on this in a significant way. Maybe it just ends up being one of the less notable, yet nevertheless numerous, rap beefs of the year.

Of course, there’s another universe in which this develops further, but things seem pretty mellowed-out by now, so who’s to say? In terms of 21 Savage’s other appearances in the rap world as of late, another iconic team-up of his got praise rather than scrutiny. Kanye West compared his artistic collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign to that of the Slaughter Gang CEO and Drake, an ironic comparison considering Ye and Drizzy’s tension. Regardless, tracks like “Broke Boys” and “Privileged Rappers” definitely warrant acclaim.

Meanwhile, 21 Savage recently reflected on how he balanced both sides of his history. He spoke on why he kept his London origins a secret in a bluntly comical way, considering that the answer is quite obvious. This duality is something that took center stage in the content and rollout of american dream. Clearly, there are other dualities to speak on when it comes to the 31-year-old in the rumor mill, as gossipy as they may be.
