DJ Akademiks Clowned Online For Clip Of His Boxing Practice

by

DJ Akademiks is notorious for his many feuds and spats in the rap game, whether that’s with artists, other commentators, or anyone caught in the crossfire. As such, there have been plenty of challenges for him to face off in a boxing match, and it looks like he wants to keep those skills sharp… or at least try. Moreover, a clip recently emerged of the media personality sparring with a colleague, and the comments section under the video below is not very forgiving. “No wonder he only beefs with females,” one user commented, while another added, “All that mouth and that’s all he got to offer.”

Furthermore, a lot of people remarked that DJ Akademiks should stick to what he’s known for rather than try to pick a fight or go all out. It’s a fair point, and not necessarily a negative one: I’m happy to keep my 127 pounds glued to the keyboard rather than look for problems. But it’s ironic considering his dismissal of J. Cole’s apology to Kendrick Lamar for his diss, which he absolutely blasted as a cop-out and as a betrayal of hip-hop. While that’s another fair point, it also lacks the nuance of understanding that it’s much more brave to admit a lack of malice than to fabricate a lack of mercy.

DJ Akademiks Sharpens His Boxing Skills: See Comments For Reactions

Elsewhere, we’re sure that the former Everyday Struggle host will continue to battle his many opps. Some of them are too big to face, others he’s cautiously avoidant of, and some like Yung Miami are ones that he never intends to fight in the first place. It’s curious to see when DJ Akademiks decides to invoke a physical confrontation and when he goes truly merciless with his words. There are a lot of examples to support these interpretations, so we’ll see if he ever proves himself wrong at some point.

Meanwhile, even painted nails were enough to continue a long-running feud with Lil Baby. Maybe sometimes, any little thing could inspire a lengthy Twitter rant or explosive livestream moment. Let’s see if anything happens if folks start circulating this boxing clip more widely. For more news and the latest updates on DJ Akademiks, log back into HNHH.

J. Cole Being On “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU” Is Viewed As Him Double-Crossing Drake By Fans

by

Once again, Metro Boomin and Future have stirred the pot. They have been the ones who helped kick off piling on Drake and now they are adding more fuel to the fire. Kendrick Lamar sent some serious warning shots on “Like That,” but that was all the hating on Drizzy from WE DON’T TRUST YOU. The project’s sequel on the other hand, has turned things up notch. The Weeknd and A$AP Rocky took the time to get some things off their chest on “All to Myself” and “Show of Hands.” But some fans feel that J. Cole is also hopping on the Drake hate train with his out-of-nowhere feature on WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU.

He appears on the the last track from the first disc called “Red Leather.” On it, Cole further addresses the creation of “7 Minute Drill,” as well as his apology. “My energy was never on some toughest n**** s*** / I was just a conscious rapper that would f*** a n**** b****.” So, there were no shots fired at Drake on this cut. But the mere fact that he would go onto Drake supposed enemies’ record is why the community sees this as a form of betrayal rather than an exciting opportunity for Cole.

Fans’ Hilarious Memes For J. Cole Appearing On WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU

Twitter users have become comedians since this all animosity toward Drizzy started about three weeks ago and today has been no different. HipHopDX found some incredibly funny memes and tweets surrounding Cole changing up on The Boy. Things have also seemingly been awkward for the “First Person Shooter” collaborators ever since the apology. There were some rumblings that Drake was going to perform at Dreamville Fest earlier this month. But according to a recent episode of Rory & Mal, the latter of the co-hosts asked Drake if he would be going, and the response was anything but confident. “‘I don’t know, should I? ‘Cause it’s weird right now. Are we performing the record? Can we ever perform ‘First Person Shooter’?’”

What are your thoughts on J. Cole “switching up on Drake” for being a feature on Metro Boomin and Future’s WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU? Do you think Drake will respond negatively or indifferently to this, why or why not? Outside of the “controversy” are you enjoying “Red Leather?” We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

The Weeknd Appears To Be Dissing Drake On “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU”

by

If you have been paying the slightest attention to news in hip-hop, you know that everyone seems to be on the “screw Drake” energy. Artists have been sending shots at The Boy for years. However, the animosity has been at an all-time high in 2024. It ramped up immediately after Kendrick Lamar’s direct attack on “Like That” from Metro Boomin and Future’s WE DON’T TRUST YOU. Now, three weeks later, the list of names has expanded on the sequel project WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. The Weeknd is one of the next people to be dissing Drake and we are here to breakdown the lyrics.

The bars up for discussion appear on one The Weeknd’s many features on the album, “All to Myself.” It goes on the second verse where Abel is actually singing his diss. “They could never diss my brothers, baby (Future) / When they got leaks in they operation / I thank God that I never signed my life away… They shooters makin’ TikToks / Got us laughin’ in the Lambo (Yeah).” It seems what The Weeknd is focusing on with Drake are the subtle attacks toward Future and Metro, as well as OVO versus XO.

Fans React To The Weeknd Dissing Drake

Drake and Tesfaye were close early on in their careers, especially during the years of Take Care and Kiss Land. Drizzy was looking to sign the fellow Canadian to his OVO label, but he declined it. There was also speculation that Drake was taking too much credit for The Weeknd’s career, while simultaneously not giving the R&B icon enough kudos for the work he did on Take Care. They have not worked together since the Kiss Land cut “Live For” back in 2013. With everyone coming for his neck, The Weeknd decided this was the right time to fire away.

What are your thoughts on The Weeknd supposedly dissing Drake on “All to Myself” off WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU? Is this beef fabricated for the sake of the record and everyone else dissing? Or, is The Weeknd been waiting to send shots? How do you think Drake will respond? Outside of the content, are you enjoying the song? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Kevin Gates Sparks Debate With Cuban Link Headband

by

Kevin Gates is known for his eclectic and often clowned fashion choices, so this use of a Cuban link as a headband is no surprise. Moreover, fans had plenty to say about this new style, whether it was remarking on folks who have done this before or on how ridiculous or cool some people think it looks. “Why would anyone want to wear that many chains,” one fan wrote under a Twitter post covering the look, whereas another added, “Can’t front, it’s kinda dope.” “Nah that ain’t it,” another posited with crying-laughing emojis, and other comments took a more practical stance. “Gonna be easier to get that s**t snatched that’s forsure,” a user theorized.

Furthermore, we’re sure that the Baton Rouge rapper will be quick to speak on this reception if it bothers or entices him at all. He’s never been shy about explaining or defending his controversial or notable choices, such as his practice of semen retention. “You gon’ release every now and then,” Kevin Gates remarked on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast with Gillie and Wallo. “You gon’ have a wet dream here and there. I don’t beat [myself] up about it, because anything in your body that need to come out gon’ naturally come out. Even when I’m with a woman, once she get off, I’m done.”

Elsewhere, The Ceremony MC will likely continue to forge his own path in the game, whether for his music or his takes. That album dropped with barely any features, and it’s clear that he won’t let his headline antics get in the way of his art. After all, Kevin Gates has always achieved this balance as a comical and often scandalous celebrity with a dedicated fanbase and unwavering artistry. All we can ask for is that he takes some more fashion advice every once in a while.

But maybe that self-consciousness would get in the way of his fashion “innovations,” and we’re not sure what the 38-year-old would rather give up. Is this Cuban link headband a look or are you never using him as a styling reference? Whatever the case, drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Kevin Gates.

Meek Mill Clowned For How He Yelled At The Rock During Wrestlemania

by

Meek Mill and a whole host of other celebrities had a blast at Wrestlemania over the weekend, but folks are still to caught up with allegations of his involvement in the Diddy scandal to notice. What’s most sad and silly of all is that the only thing these folks are focusing on is the accusation that he’s homosexual and not the actual crimes allegedly committed by or against him, which has them clowning him for pretty much any and everything he does. “Get up!” the Philly MC tells Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a clip from the event, and many fans thought that his tone was not up to their standard of traditional masculinity. Under the IG post below, you’ll unfortunately find plenty of comments like this: “Meek dat “get up” was freaky ash.”

Furthermore, Meek Mill is still making significant strides in the music world and taking his career in new areas. For example, there’s his recent Millyz collab “Soul Survivors” and his plans to start a new record label and enter even more of a boss position than what he has with Dream Chasers. Hopefully the 36-year-old continues to have fun and enjoy himself, and takes time offline to focus on his craft and his community efforts. After all, this whole scandal proved quite distracting for the headlines with no legal charges or resolution in sight.

Sadly, Meek Mill also had to deal with some in-house conflicts. “Imagine building an engineer up teaching them presets working for years,” he tweeted about an engineer who expressed regret over working with him instead of Jay-Z. “to hear them say they woulda went to Paris instead of worked on what we building sound like jay groupies. Jay my family … yall be selling yall self short and may never even make it to him.

“When I met Cruz he was the store runner I needed an engineer and started using him everyday,” the anti-gun violence advocate concluded. Whatever the future holds for him, we’re sure it won’t be asy to navigate. But a head held high and a healthy amount of silence go a long way.

Yung Miami Still Silent During JT & GloRilla Feud, Fans Question Her Absence

by

Did someone slip some Haterade into every rapper under the sun’s morning cups of coffee or are they all just hunting for necks in 2024? As if Meg versus Nicki and the Big Three battle wasn’t enough, now there’s another apparent beef ramping up in the hip-hop world, and it’s ironically over accusations of subliminal dissing. This time around, it’s between JT and GloRilla, who had a fiery back-and-forth on Twitter recently and dismissed each other’s careers, looks, clout, and more. However, folks online are also pointing to a curious omission over the past 24 hours or so: a lack of a defense from the other half of the City Girls.

Moreover, a lot of people called Yung Miami out for her silence on JT, although this is curiously contradictory. If you’re reading this from the comfort of the rock you live under, Miami has serious allegations tied to her when it comes to the Diddy situation, and both City Girls have stayed pretty mute on the matter. As such, a lot of people expressed that there really isn’t an open debt here when it comes to the duo sticking up for each other. In addition, there’s also the important point of people not needing others to defend them, as they can handle that on their own.

Still, a lot of folks wonder whether these instances are just unfortunately timed events or if they represent a pattern of the City Girls drifting apart. After all, a lot of their recent movement comprised of solo work, and while that’s never a bad thing, it’s also uncommon to have a duo pivot so hard without an acknowledgement of it. But for the most part, it seems like these rumors don’t really apply to Yung Miami and JT. For example, they just dropped their latest album last year, so it’s more likely than not that they just want to spread their wings a little bit.

Meanwhile, these individual runs resulted in plenty of great opportunities and moments for both femcees, such as JT’s Doechii collab “Alter Ego” and Yung Miami’s time with fellow female artists. With this in mind, we’re sure that they’re just keeping things close to the chest and not feeling pressured to always move in unison. We’ll see whether there are any other ways in which this beef could develop. For more news and the latest updates on GloRilla and the City Girls, stick around on HNHH.

Kodak Black Bewilders Fans After Shutting Down Diddy Comparison: “I Even Might K*ll Me A Kid But I Ain’t R*ping”

by

Diddy’s legal issues are all anyone can talk about right now and it makes sense as to why. Every allegation and lawsuit sent his way have been for serious matters. Sexual harassment, sex trafficking, r*pe, are just a handful of things that the music mogul has been accused of. It eventually led to Homeland Security Investigations to raid both of his properties in Miami and Los Angeles. A few rappers have been linked to the businessman, including Meek Mill, who has been on the wrong side of a lot of jokes. Now, some are throwing in Kodak Black as fans were making the comparison to Diddy over his new look.

According to AllHipHop, Kodak recently went on a live stream with one the biggest names in the space, Adin Ross. During their link up, the Florida rapper read a remark from a viewer that read, “Kodak look like Florida Diddy lmao.” The comparison kind of makes sense, as the hitmaker is now rocking a mustache and goatee, as well as a shorter hairstyle. However, Kodak did not find the comment to be that hilarious and his response back was eye raising.

“B**** you got me f***ed up. No Diddy. Take that Take it. I’ll smack me a elderly b****, I even might k*ll me a kid but I aint r*ping. I mean kill him as a baby, but I ain’t raping. I ain’t doing that,” Black said with a slurred delivery. It seems he was a bit under the influence during that rant, but it did not stop fans from pointing out the obvious red flag. “Am I the only one who caught him saying might even ki.. me a kid!? I’m not tripping,” one fan replied. Kodak has had his fair share of legal problems as well, but this is very alarming to hear, nonetheless.

What are your thoughts on Kodak Black denying Diddy comparisons in this manner? Regardless if he was under the influence or not, why do you think he said this? Does his new look make him look like Diddy to you? How do you see this playing out down the line? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

In addition to his stellar play on the field, Davis made headlines for retiring in the middle of a game between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers. In a statement afterward, he explained that he was tired of the game and unsure whether he wanted to continue playing. “And truthfully, I do not because the season is long, and it’s more important for me and my family to walk away healthy than to willfully embrace the warrior mentality and limp away too late,” he said.

NFL World Reacts To Vontae Davis’ Passing

Reggie Wayne wrote on Twitter: “Sad Day. We used to battle everyday in practice. Sometimes it ended in a bunch of bickering and almost fights. We got each other better. It was a pleasure wearing the horseshoe with you homie. Rest easy “Champ.” Praying for your family and love ones. [prayer hands emoji] R.I.P.” His other Colts teammate, T.Y.

NBA YoungBoy Family Easter Pictures Have Fans Wondering If They Are His Actual Relatives

by

NBA YoungBoy has been a hardworking man this year. That should come as no surprise to anyone who listens to hip-hop as he has one of the most robust catalogs. Now, the quality of most of his records is up for debate, but there is no denying his work ethic. So far, YB has put out a plethora of singles, especially on YouTube. Shockingly, none of them were for his most recent project, Compliments of Grave Digger Mountain. On top of that, this offering was actually a surprise to his fans. Many were assuming that his first release of 2024 would be I Just Got A Lot On My Shoulders instead. But, before he puts out another project, NBA YoungBoy wanted to spend some time with his family for Easter as evidenced by the pictures on his IG.

The Louisiana rapper doubled up on the photos, sharing separate ones with his boo and their two children. YB, his nuclear clan, as well as the extended relatives were dressed up in black and white attire. All of the photos were extremely wholesome, and it is nice to see YB looking happy to be with those he loves the most. However, people still had a lot to say about who he was celebrating the holiday with.

Fans could not fathom the fact that the rapper has mostly white family members. The comments were flooded with assumptions and jokes that NBA YoungBoy bought a family for Easter pictures. One person wrote, “I’m dying cus what if he rented these ppl for the pictures 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭” Another adds, When I get rich ima buy me a family too 💯” However, some were just happy to see YB enjoy the company of his loved ones. “N****s see a family at peace and get spooked,” one wrote. “These people probably treat him better than his own… he probably gave up on his side of the family…” Whatever his situation is, we are also loving the pictures and the connectedness.

What are your thoughts on NBA YoungBoy and his family posting pictures from Easter? Do you think YB actually “rented” a family to take these with? Why are people making these jokes and assumptions?

Megan Thee Stallion Claims She Has The Best T*ts & A** On Instagram In Latest Thirst Trap

by

Megan Thee Stallion has been having one heck of a year in 2024. For those keeping their finger on the pulse, the Texas rapper has put out one of the biggest singles in rap. “HISS” was the talk of the town for about a month or so. She went for the jugular, sending ruthless shots at Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tory Lanez, and more. Many sided with her track against Nicki’s “Big Foot,” so she is already up on that front. Of course, Megan Thee Stallion is always winning on Instagram too, and that rings true again with her latest thirst trap.

It seems every week the “Cobra” rapper is serving her body for all those willing to see. For example, she was pleasing her fans on the platform every day for about a week with anime cosplays during her Japan trip. Additionally, people were hyperventilating over her Hot Girl Summer Tour posters and promos. Now, Megan Thee Stallion has done it once more on Instagram with thirst traps that make a serious claim.

In the new photo dump, Meg is sporting a matching lounge-like set with a short sleeve white tee and shorts. The shirt makes the claim that she has the best t*ts on Instagram. As for the skin-tight shorts, they declare the same, instead it is for her rear end. Megan did two posts with the first asking her fans what they will be wearing to her shows. The first outfit is the one we described. Another option is a matching set as well, although this one is a denim look. Additionally, the femcee shows off her curves in a black and pink dress. Finally, Megan opts for a Western look with a fake denim shirt and skirt, along with a white cowboy hat.

What are your thoughts on these latest photos from Megan Thee Stallion on Instagram? Is Megan back at the top of the female rap game right now, why or why not? How soon do you think it will be before she drops her next album? Are “Cobra” and “HISS” still in your rotation? Which one do you like more out of the two?
