When the story was reposted by DJ Akademiks on Instagram, fans almost universally disagreed with BlocBoy. “I’ve never seen clout chasing like this before bro is really going out sad = HE BROKE,” one wrote. Another commented: “I know a n***a from down the st with more bars then this n***a.” Others in disagreement still defended BlocBoy from criticism: “I ain’t even mad at bro.. That’s how you’re suppose to feel about your music.”

Despite his own inclusion in the list, J. Cole, Eminem, and Drake are popular picks for the title of the best rapper in the world. Earlier this year, Billboard selected all three of them for its “50 Greatest Rappers of All Time” list. Cole landed at number 15, while Drake went number eight and Eminem ranked at number five.

BlocBoy JB On His Place In Hip-Hop

Outside of music, BlocBoy JB recently made headlines for coming to the defense of Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant. In a post on Instagram, he sided with Morant after the NBA star brandished a firearm on social media. “Guns are not illegal,” he wrote at the time. “If he turnt in his car with his gun dats in his name in his yard and somebody recorded him dat ain’t on him. Free Ja.” Adam Silver has said the NBA will make a decision on his suspension after the Finals.

Taking to the comments section, one user wrote: “There lots of people who literally says that Nicki is a kind woman but yall keep pushing the narrative that Nicki is a bad person, like where?” Another commented: “Nicki is a fighter and she has refused to back down to haters. They tried to bury her, they tried not to give her her flowers, Grammy did her dirty but yet she’s still standing. She’s consistently working and the other girls are startled. Funny how they’re so obsessed with her.”

Tokyo Toni wasn’t the only celebrity to post about Nicki Minaj on social media this week.

She does talk too much though,” the post read. She later clarified: “Dem b*tches can’t keep a real b*tch hacked for too long !!!! Im back b*tches [tongue emojis] go stream lick or sum.”

Lil Durk Inspires Fan To Convert To Islam

by

Lil Durk has had a profound impact on one of his devoted fans from Africa. Apparently, the fan recently converted to Islam after being inspired by the rapper’s music. He shared the viral video on Instagram. It showed the fan dressed in an all-white thobe. In the clip, he performed a symbolic act of cleansing himself. The video also features an OTF (Only The Family) wall decal, representing Lil Durk’s rap group. The fan’s video includes the track “Pelle Coat” from Lil Durk’s latest album, Almost Healed.

In the song, Durk sings about his faith. The rapper asks for forgiveness and expresses his desire to be closer to his children and protect his friends. When Lil Durk learned of the fan’s conversion, he expressed his appreciation on his Instagram stories. There, he stated that such moments make him feel good and believe that everything happens for a reason. Lil Durk has previously touched on his Muslim faith through his music. He has even been seen wearing Islamic attire in some of his music videos. You can see the video of Lil Durk’s fan that was inspired to join Islam below.

Durk Advises Fans Not To Trust Just Anyone

Lil Durk recently took to Instagram to remind people of the importance of being cautious and selective when it comes to trusting others. In a story posted a few days ago, the rapper emphasized that the dynamics of the streets have changed. Futhermore, he says not everyone can be considered a reliable friend or family. The exact reason behind Durk’s message remains unclear, but it resonated with many commenters who expressed agreement. Interestingly, Durk has formed a newfound friendship with collaborator Morgan Wallen. The two joined forces on a track for Durk’s album and even enjoyed a fishing trip together. Despite any trust issues Durk may be grappling with, his fans remain devoted to him, willing to demonstrate their unwavering support.

The album Almost Healed has received an incredibly strong reception. It has some fans turning to new religions. Others have taken the extraordinary step of permanently immortalizing it through tattoos of the album’s cover art. Many may may view this decision as extreme. Still, others may interpret it as a profound gesture of significance. At the very least, the level of craftsmanship and artistic talent displayed in the tattoos is remarkable. Many of them seem to be able to flawlessly capturing the intricate details of the album’s cover art with astonishing realism. Opting for a tattoo is a bold choice, to be sure. However, the exceptional execution of the artwork likely justifies the decision for these particular fans. What do you think of Lil Durk’s influence on his fans? Sound off in the comments!

by

Fat Joe gave some advice to aspiring rappers during a video posted to social media over the weekend. He says that artists who aren’t signed to a record contract, nor are financially stable yet, should be getting a regular job to supplement their income.

“If your man said he raps and he don’t have a deal. There’s a problem with that,” he told his audience on Instagram Live. “It’s called plan A, get a job. Plan B, hope you make it. This has never changed. Some guys be like, ‘I gotta get a regular job?’ Bro, you gotta get a job! If you got kids and you got this girl that got an apartment and y’all sexin’ it up every day, you got to pay some bills.” From there, he quoted Nas’ hit song, “Life’s A Bitch.” He remarked, “And that dollar and a dream — ‘That buck that bought the bottle could’ve struck the lotto.’ Nah!”

Fans weren’t entirely happy with the message Joe put forth. When the clip was posted to the Hip-Hop Wolf  Instagram account, one commented, “It’s too many people out here telling people how to live their lives.” Another wrote: “I bet Joe would have hated for someone to tell him that and crush his dreams when he was coming up. Smh! Then he brings the women into it to make matters worse Smh!”

Fat Joe’s Advice To Aspiring Rappers

Despite the advice from Joe, the legendary rapper previously called the major label system a “Ponzi scheme.” “I don’t believe in these people,” he said during an interview with Wall Street Journal, earlier this month. He added that major labels “do funny math.”

Diddy Gifts Traffic-Stopping Fans With Bottle Of Deleon: Watch

by

Diddy, a prominent music mogul, has had a significant impact on the industry with numerous massive hits under his belt. His extensive network and influence allow him to make things happen in the music world whenever he desires. Recently, rumors have been circulating about his alleged relationship with Yung Miami from the City Girls, which further solidifies his connections with prominent artists. It was only a matter of time before the City Girls and Diddy collaborated on a song or project.

Recently, the artists had teased a new track titled “Act Bad.” This references Yung Miami’s oft-used catchphrase. Surprisingly, it was also revealed that Fabolous would be featured on the song. While this may have been an unexpected addition, it certainly added an exciting element to the song. Since the announcement, fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the track and speculating about its sound. Now that it’s been released, it’s clear that the track embodies the essence of a summer club anthem. Diddy is also going to unexpected lengths to promote the track and show appreciation to fans.

Diddy Gives Special Attention To Two Fans

In the new video above, posted by The Jasmine Brand on Instagram, two fans can be seen talking to Diddy from their car. The rapper leans on the window while the two women gush over him. Hilariously, they ask where Yung Miami is at one point. After a moment of interacting with them, Diddy walks away and gets something from his car. When he returns, he gifts the two superfans with a bottle of Deleón, his tequila brand. Diddy is all smiles as the fan in the driver’s seat taks a video of him next to the bottle. As he thanked them and walked away, the fan filming turns the camera towards herself and says “Rich b*tch sh*t.”

Many took to the comment section on the post to let their thoughts be known. “She got the camera all in his face smh,” one comment said. Others pointed out that the girls missed an opportunity because they were starstruck. “Oh baby they played that all wrong,” the user wrote. “They was star struck and missed the opportunity.” It’s not clear what opportunity the fan was talking about, but Diddy seemed pretty pleased to be talking to the fans in the video. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Diddy and all things hip-hop. As always, let us know what you think in the comments!

Celtics Fans Storm Boston Streets After Insane Game 6 Win Over Miami Heat

by

When the Denver Nuggets swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, the Miami Heat were winning its Eastern equivalent against the Boston Celtics 3 to 0. As such, many NBA fans thought that another sweep was inevitable, but the Massachusetts team held on. After two victorious games, Game 6 tied the series thanks to an unbelievable play from Derrick White, clinching the win with just 0.1 seconds remaining. Sure, the shot was met with typical “the league is rigged” takes thanks to a clock controversy. Regardless, the Celtics are going back home for Game 7, a city that went absolutely ballistic with the Game 6 win.

Moreover, videos ran rampant online of Boston fans taking to the streets to celebrate. One clip in particular sees an athletic supporter climbing a street post and hyping up the massive crowd below him. From behind phone screens, one can’t even begin to imagine how electric the city must’ve been. “I’ve never been so excited to go back to Boston in my life,” Celtics star Jayson Tatum told press. Of course, the same applies to Miami, whose victory would’ve solidified the eighth-seed team’s absolute tear through the East- and lit their fans on fire. Still, given that both teams had their incredible moments and straight-up flops and fumbles in Game 6, anything could happen in the final game of the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals.

Boston Goes Crazy Over The Celtics Win

For example, Boston might have taken the dub on Saturday night (May 27), but it was their worst three-point performance of the whole season. On the other hand, Miami secured some truly remarkable clutch shots from the three-point line, but lost many chances to take the lead. On top of each team’s performance, the aforementioned clock controversy is a hot topic of debate in the NBA world right now. To sum it up, the Celtics were given an additional 0.9 seconds following their foul on Jimmy Butler (called with 2.1 seconds remaining) and his free throws, most likely due to refs maintaining that the foul took place at the 3.0 mark.

Derrick White Took The Celtics One Step Closer To The NBA Finals

However, other fans argued that refs missed Butler’s double dribble in the first place. These are two incredibly determined and passionate teams, and their fanbases are no different. With Game 7 taking place on Monday night (May 29), we can assume that there will be much tougher calls to make, much crazier plays to praise, and a whole lot of angry people on Twitter on both sides. If the Celtics win, it would make them the first team in league history to reverse a 3-0 trail in a playoff series. For the latest updates and news on the Celtics-Heat saga and the NBA post-season, come back to HNHH.

Tee Grizzley Speaks On Nipsey Hussle’s Praise For Him

by

Tee Grizzley is an artist who has gotten attention from a lot of high-profile figures in the hip-hop world. Although he may not be the most mainstream artist out there, his peers have a ton of respect for him. Much of this has to do with his sound as well as his recognizable flow. Moreover, he has been steadily growing as an artist, and it has been clear as day. We got to see some of this growth on his latest project with Skilla Baby called Controversy. The 12-track album was a hit with fans and it brought him back to his Detroit roots.

Having said that, there is one artist who Tee Grizzley never got the chance to work with. That artist is none other than the late and great Nipsey Hussle. Although some may say the two have nothing in common, this is not actually the case. As it turns out, there were quite a few Detroit artists who Nip was interested in. Big Sean and Payroll Giovanni were two of them. Additionally, Tee Grizzley was one of the names mentioned. While speaking to HipHopDX, Grizzley explained what it meant to get such a legendary co-sign.

Nipsey Hussle Was A Fan Of Tee Grizzley

“It’s crazy ’cause I ain’t know Nipsey fucked with me until after he passed,” Tee Grizzley explained. “Then I seen that interview I’m like damn, I ain’t even know bro fucked with me like that for real.” Overall, it is hard to know what kind of collaboration this would have been. It could have gone in a few different directions. Either Tee Grizzley would have gone with Nipsey’s style of rap, or Hussle would have gone with the Detroit flow. Now that would have been a whole lot of fun to hear.

No matter what, it is cool to see how Nipsey Hussle had respect for the new generation, especially when it came to the new styles that have emerged. His presence is still very much missed in the music industry, and his peers would certainly agree. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Nicki Is Not Having It

Earlier this month, Minaj shared her gratitude for her family on Instagram for Mother’s Day. “All I can think about is how sleep deprived my husband & I were,” she writes about her son, Papa Bear. “And how I wouldn’t trade even one minute of the journey to becoming your mom.” Minaj continued the post, saying her son is lucky to have “3 diff moms in this slide.” She tells him, “Papa, one day I hope you’ll know how lucky you are to have them.” Minaj also thanks her own mother, saying, “Happy Mother’s Day Mommy. Thank you for bringing me to church with you when I was a kid.” She continues, thanking her mother-in-law, “Happy Mother’s Day to my husband’s mother who helped us soooo much in the first year so we could get a few hours of sleep sometimes.”

The artist also shared new details of her upcoming album and teased a tour earlier this month on Twitter. Minaj wrote, “Oh yes fractions warned, SFG did what fractions warned. Red Ruby Da Sleeze MOTHERED so hard & is now the standard.” “NM5 is the best thing that will come out of 2023 & will raise the bar to new & unreachable heights. NM5 tour will be hailed as ‘genius.’ That’s it & that’s all,” she said.

Ice Spice Allegedly Roasts Fan In The DMs

by

Ice Spice has launched into superstardom over these past few months. It feels like it hasn’t even been a whole calendar year since “Munch” become a massive viral hit. Overall, Spice has done a fantastic job of managing her success. Although she could have easily fallen off immediately, she has maintained her stardom. For instance, she has gone to the Met Gala, has gotten features from massive artists, and she also largely dominates social media discourse. When you put these factors all together, it becomes clear that she is here to stay.

Additionally, Ice Spice is seen as a very attractive person that a lot of men would be interested in dating. However, the artist has largely kept her dating life under wraps. That said, one can imagine the sheer amount of thirsty DMs she gets on a daily basis. In a recent Instagram post from Our Generation Music, one of those messages was on full display. Although, for the person who sent the DM, things did not go according to plan. As it turns out, Spice stays ready when it comes to her social media.

Ice Spice Was Ready

As you can see in the post above, the DM’er started the conversation with “hey mamas.” However, that was immediately shot down as Ice Spice replied, “small ass dreads and no Nike tech.” Furthermore, the person who sent the DM was getting roasted by his friend group. He even shows that the verified Ice Spice account had sent the message. Although, you can never be so sure if this is actually real when you take today’s digital age into account. Luckily, Instagram actually has a good verification system, unlike Elon Musk’s Twitter.

In terms of this fan, he will likely recover from this. However, it probably stings to get roasted like that. Regardless, he did get a reply, which is a win in a lot of people’s books. Meanwhile, Ice Spice probably forgot that the interaction even took place. Let us know what you think about this news, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the music world.
