Childish Gambino & His Politically Charged “This Is America” Video Receive Harsh Retrospective Reviews On Its Sixth Anniversary

by

Childish Gambino is an artist who has certainly been polarizing for hip-hop fans. Overall, there are some fans who believe that he is one of the best artists out. Meanwhile, there are others who call him “corny” and have always thought that to be the case. His early output is certainly questionable, but over the years, he has delivered some big hits, and that is undeniable. One of those big hits is “This Is America.” The track dropped back in 2018 alongside a powerful music video that became the talk of the music world for months following its release.

On Saturday, the song celebrated its sixth anniversary. This was highlighted on Twitter, although, the reactions were anything but positive. At the time of the song’s release, Donald Trump was in office, and there was a strong artistic reaction against that, understandably so. However, even progressives and liberals feel as though the criticism levied in this song are a product of its time, and don’t hold up to scrutiny. This sentiment was made abundantly clear in the quote tweets of the post below. Although beware, you will see plenty of Conservatives voicing their disdain for hip-hop as a whole. A disdain that would still be there regardless of this song’s existence.

Childish Gambino “This Is America”

There was certainly some pushback to the retrospective analysis of this song. Many questioned where the hate was coming from. Others simply noted that Twitter loves to pretend it didn’t like something that was popular a few years ago. This is certainly true, and if you’ve ever been on Twitter, you know that most people are incredibly cynical over there. Regardless, “This Is America” has already made a significant impact on popular culture, and nothing can take that away from it.

Some Believe The Song Was Simply A Product Of Its Time

Let us know what you think about the retrospective analysis of this song, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that people are being way too harsh on this song? What do you think of “This Is America” all of these years later? Does it hold up? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Summer Walker’s Boyfriend Coop Cashington Gets Alleged Real Face Tattoo Of Her Name, Fans Still Skeptical About Them

by

Singer and songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia Summer Walker is back in love once again. After splitting up from Lil Meech, she has found a new boo. He goes by Coop Cashington and their relationship was officially confirmed right after the R&B songstress’s birthday on April 11. Since they announced that they were a couple, the internet has not had favorable reactions to the news. Summer Walker’s fans have been warning her of his alleged troubled past, with even some of Coop’s supposed exes detailing how toxic he was. The vast claims were quite serious, with some saying he was controlling, showed signs of harassment, and even posted revenge p*rn videos online.

However, all of these allegedly true stories and red flags have not deterred Summer from cutting ties early with Coop Cashington. In fact, they recently took a romantic trip to Mexico days after the singer turned 28. All of this bonding has these two really believing that they have a healthy future ahead of them. According to The Shade Room, Coop has gotten a “real” tattoo of his superstar girlfriend’s name on his face.

Summer Walker Fans Still Don’t Like Coop Cashington

People are assuming it is not a fake based on Coop’s caption and post on X. “Tatted ya name on my face cause this 4L ++.” This ink has got her fans all sorts of riled up. One person writes, “SUMMER! Plzzzz don’t give him no baby! 😭” Another adds, “I guess you don’t care about what all the other females said about his repertoire.” Even though there is a large crowd against these two, we hope it will work out and both partners can make each other better.

What are your thoughts on Summer Walker’s man Coop Cashington getting a face tattoo of her name? Do you think he is in over his head, why or why not? Do you buy the old allegations of his supposed former partners? How long do you see them lasting? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Young Thug appeared to be jamming to some music during his latest appearance in court for the YSL RICO trial and fans want to know what he had playing in his headphones. A viral video of the moment is circulating on social media, showing Thug bobbing his head back and forth with earbuds in while he awaits the case to resume.

One fan suggested it was a Young Nudy track. “I want to know what @youngthug was listening to in court today but I think it was peaches & eggplants,” they wrote. Another theorized the new Metro Boomin and Future collaborative album, We Still Don’t Trust You. “Young Thug listening to that new Future and Metro album while waiting for the jurors to arrive,” one said. Others picked tracks by NBA YoungBoy, Ken Carson, and more.

The latest clip of Thug comes after the state released an updated witness list with several high-profile names missing. Both Lil Wayne and Gunna are absent and will not be testifying, although Birdman, Rich Homie Quan, and YFN Lucci’s names all appear among the approximately 200 that could be called into court. The removal of Gunna comes after he took a plea deal back in 2022, a decision that garnered plenty of backlash. Check out the latest clip of Thug from the trial below.

Young Thug Bumps Music In Court

Thug was first arrested on gang-related charges back in May 2022 but was later charged with seven additional felonies. The trial didn’t start until November, but even then, there was a multi-week pause in December due to one of the rapper’s co-defendants, Shannon Stillwell, getting stabbed in jail. Be on the lookout for further updates on Young Thug’s trial on HotNewHipHop.

Chance The Rapper & Kirsten Corley Announce Divorce

As expected, the news has elicited big responses from fans and critics alike, who are sounding off on Twitter/X. While some wonder who the Chicago MC will rap about now, others think the split could have a positive impact on his future releases. Some are even already demanding a breakup album from Chance, speculating that it could be some of his best work yet.

Of course, social media is also flooded with rumors and theories as to why the pair decided to go their separate ways. Many are looking back on a viral video of Chance getting twerked on by an unnamed woman at Carnival in 2023, while others think the rapper liking explicit content involving a transgender person on Twitter/X is to blame. For now, however, it doesn’t look like the exes seem interested in sharing the details.

Kendrick Lamar’s Last-Minute Tecate Pa’l Norte Cancellation Leaves Fans Disappointed

by

Kendrick Lamar was previously scheduled to headline Tecate Pa’l Norte on Friday (March 29), but ended up canceling the show last minute. The announcement arrived only hours before he was expected to hit the stage. The music festival takes place annually at the Parque Fundidora in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Organizers shared the unfortunate news in an official statement.

“For unforeseen circumstances due to logistical issues out of Tecate Pal Norte’s organization — we’re sorry to announce that Kendrick Lamar won’t be able to perform tonight at the festival,” the statement reads. Kendrick was scheduled to perform after Peso Pluma, who extended his show in an attempt to make up for the rapper’s absence. “We appreciate Peso Pluma for extending his showtime. Deorro will be closing Tecate Light Stage. The programmed shows of the Festival will run as planned,” the festival also told attendees.

Tecate Pa’l Norte Announces Kendrick Lamar’s Cancellation

As expected, festivalgoers were pretty disappointed that Kendrick didn’t perform. The comments section of a Reddit post about the cancelation is flooded with fans demanding an explanation, which he’s yet to provide aside from a repost of the festival’s announcement on his Instagram Story. “Explain yourself kdot,” one user urges, with another saying they “hate when this happens.” Several commenters are also speculating about what could have caused the last-minute cancelation. While some think pay might have been the problem, others joke that his recent Drake diss on “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin left him afraid to show his face.

Either way, supporters want answers, and it remains to be seen whether or not they’ll get them. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar canceling his Tecate Pa’l Norte set at the last minute?

Offset & Chloe Bailey Get Up Close And Personal Onstage, Sparking Debate

by

Earlier this week, Offset brought out various special guests at his performance in Los Angeles. Gunna joined the hitmaker onstage for “Prada Dem,” for one, which fans mostly seemed to enjoy. He also brought out Chloe Bailey for a performance of their Set It Off collaboration, “Princess Cut.” Unfortunately, this is where the controversy begins.

In a clip from the show making its rounds online, Chloe is seen approaching Offset, who’s sitting on a nearby staircase. She then grabs a hold of his shoulder before showing off some seductive dance moves, eventually sitting down and leaning back onto him. Offset kept his hands to himself throughout the clip, but either way, it has fans up in arms.

Chloe Bailey & Offset Perform In LA

Some users think the duo got a bit too close for comfort, and are sounding off in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “Cardi somewhere cursing in Spanish,” one user writes. “Somebody tag me when cardi go live in case i fall asleep,” someone else jokes. Others are coming to their defense, noting that Chloe was simply doing her job. “Chloe was respectful. She’s at work and respected boundaries,” a fan writes. “It’s called professionalism,” another argues.

Of course, most of the criticism is coming from those rooting for Offset’s relationship with Cardi B, which ended months ago. Several note, however, that Cardi hasn’t been holding back during her own shows. “Cardi B was literally humping on Megan Thee Stallion during their performance, because they are entertaining, it’s no different than acting,” one fan insists. What do you think of Offset bringing Chloe Bailey out during his recent performance in LA? Do you think they got too close for comfort, or are social media users reaching? Do you think Cardi B will react? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Playboi Carti Responds After Fans Couldn’t Stop Roasting His New Hair

by

Playboi Carti is an artist who fans on the internet love to give a hard time to. Overall, a lot of this is because he tries to remain mysterious, all while being ambiguous with when he plans to drop new music. Although he still has a huge fanbase, there are plenty of fans out there who are sick of his schtick. After all, he has all but canceled his most recent tour. Not to mention, he has dropped six singles over the past few months and hasn’t even announced his album. This rollout has been a huge mess, and fans are ready to go on the attack, regardless of what Carti does.

A pretty solid example of this took place at the end of last week. As we reported, Playboi Carti popped out with a brand-new look. Overall, he was rocking some braided pigtails, and he seemed to be content with this look. Unfortunately, fans immediately pounced all over him, and made fun of the look. It all felt very mean and cruel, especially since he wasn’t doing anything particularly controversial. As it turns out, Carti saw the hate, and over the weekend, he opted to respond.

No one ever shows mercy, not even to their favorite artists. It’s sad, but very much true.

Rick Ross Freaks Out Fans With Realistic Mask Of His Own Face

by

It’s been a busy month for Rick Ross, but luckily, it looks like the hitmaker has still found the time to have some fun. Earlier this week, for example, he hopped online to show off a new mask of his own face. In a spooky clip, he stares eerily at the camera in complete silence, tilting his head from side to side. For obvious reasons, viewers are pretty freaked out by the clip, and sounded off in Akademiks’ comments section.

“Horrifying,” one user writes. “Is bro okay?” another wonders. While some users think the mask bears a striking resemblance to the real Rick Ross, others aren’t so convinced. Various commenters argue that it more closely resembles DJ Khaled, Jim Jones, or even Benzino.

Rick Ross Shares Creepy New Clip

Several other fans speculate that Rick Ross has a bit too much free time on his hands, which could explain the creepy video. After all, he is newly single following his recent split from Cristina Mackey. This is far from the first of Rick Ross’ posts that left fans disturbed, however. At the beginning of this month, for example, he dropped a strange photo of himself rocking a fur jacket with no shirt on underneath. The questionable fit certainly made a splash, and left countless users confused.

Aside from his bizarre social media antics, Ross has also been hard at work on new music lately. Today, his song with Future and Metro Boomin on their new collaborative album We Don’t Trust You, “Everyday Hustle,” dropped. So far, fans are enjoying the fun track, though his “baby mama” Tia Kemp didn’t exactly appreciate the shoutout. What do you think of Rick Ross’ new mask of his own face? Is it disturbing? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Playboi Carti Compared To The Wendy’s Logo After Debuting New Hairstyle

by

Playboi Carti is easily one of the most mysterious artists in the rap game. By now, fans know that it can be hard to track him down at times. Overall, he likes to remain this mysterious aura as it generates hype for his music. Unfortunately, Carti hasn’t given us an album since Whole Lotta Red in 2020. Over the past few months, he has blessed us with six singles. However, none of this has actually resulted in a new album, and fans are starting to get very antsy.

A huge part of Carti and his “aura” is his look. At times, some have roasted Carti for looking like a “bisexual vampire.” There have been other times when he perturbed fans with his juggalo makeup. Now, however, he is showing off a new hairstyle that has fans fairly surprised. As you can see below, Carti is rocking some braided pig tails. This look immediately went viral on social media, and fans were quick to weigh in on what they were seeing.

Playboi Carti Has A New Look

If one thing is for certain, it is that the internet is very creative with its insults. In the comments section on DJ Akademiks’ page, many compared Carti to the Wendy’s logo. “Bro look like the Wendy’s Logo,” one person wrote. “I won’t be defending him on this one,” said another. The hate train kept on piling on for the look, with one hater saying “What they done did to my boy? He went from playboi carti to cardi B.” For now, it seems like fans won’t let off the gas when it comes to Carti. The only thing he can do to change that, is drop an album.

Let us know how you feel about this new look from Playboi Carti, in the comments section down below. Do you like this new style from the artist? Are you excited for his next project? What are your expectations for it? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Akbar V Claims Drake Sent Her $350K But The Internet Doesn’t Believe Her

by

Akbar V is someone who is very active on social media. Overall, she is someone who has ridden heavily for Nicki Minaj over the years. Ultimately, this has led to a bit of controversy. Some fans don’t like the fact that she is defending the artist all the time. Meanwhile, the Barbz love it. Akbar is someone who is in their corner, through thick and thin. Sometimes, this is good to have, especially when you consider Akbar’s talent as an MC. That said, it seems as though the artist has been struggling to break a record, and is in need of some cash.

With cash on her mind, Akbar V took to Twitter and shouted out Drake. She noted that he has been giving out a lot of money lately and that she wants a piece. In fact, she asked for a whopping $350,000. That is not chump change, and it is a bold ask. At his shows, Drake is typically giving out $25K and $10K per person. $350K is a bit absurd, but as Akbar V explained, he came through for her. In the tweets below, she noted that she would do anything for him. However, some fans aren’t so sure that this actually happened.

Others opted to mock the rapper, with one person saying “To be worried about Cardi but you can’t afford to break your album is crazy.” Needless to say, there is plenty of skepticism to go around right now.

Let us know what you think about this revelation from Akbar V, in the comments section down below. Do you believe she is telling the truth? Or is this not accurate? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
