Drake Shares Vybz Kartel Shirt In The Studio, Fans Think He’s Teasing A Diss Track

Drake’s latest post on Instagram has fans thinking he’s at work on a diss track aimed, not just at Kendrick Lamar, but a whole heap of artists he feels have slighted him. After the Toronto rapper shared a cryptic picture of a Vybz Kartel shirt in the studio, his fans got to theorizing what he could mean.

“Just some context on the Drake studio picture,” one user on Twitter wrote. “Vybz Kartel made a song called ‘A Wah Do Dem’ which was an Alliance diss. He basically went against the entire field. So what I’m getting from the Drake picture is that his response will be against the whole field.”

As for Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar, it stems from the Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers rapper dissing him on Future and Metro Boomin’s song, “Like That.” “Yeah, get up with me, f–k sneak dissing / ‘First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches,” Lamar raps in a portion of his verse. “Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD / Motherf–k the Big 3, n—a, it’s just big me / ‘Fore all your dogs gettin’ buried, that’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.” That track dropped almost two weeks ago and in turn, fans are itching for a response from Drake. Check out his latest post on Instagram below.

O.T. Genasis Apologizes To Keyshia Cole On Stage Following Feud: “She’s Really Sent From God”

O.T. Genasis took the time to apologize to Keyshia Cole during the latest stop on The Love Hard Tour, following their recent feud. In doing so, he admitted he was in the wrong and described her as one of “the sweetest” and “greatest personalities.” The disagreement between the two stemmed from Genasis covering her 2005 song, “Love,” without permission.

“We was kinda going at it at one point, and listen, it was me,” Genasis began. “I just want to sit here today, I want to tell you I apologize to you…” From there, Cole joked: “I did call you a Ninja Turtle.” Genasis continued: “I want to tell you I’m sorry. And when I met this woman, she is the sweetest, one of the greatest personalities, the greatest sense of humor, she’s really sent from God. She got a very, very, very good soul.”

Lil Baby & DJ Akademiks Feud Over Allegedly Painted Nails

It appears as though Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks are at it again, this time over some allegedly painted nails. Yesterday, Ak took to social media to call the rapper out for a clip from his new music video. In the clip, Lil Baby is seen flipping the bird, and his middle finger looks suspiciously shiny. Ak was quick to make note of this and to accuse the “Greedy” performer of wearing nail polish.

“Dis n***a ain’t been the same since then Michael Rubin parties,” he replied to the clip. “I kno his nails not painted .. man wats going on in rap.” He didn’t stop there, however. He went on to share a photo of Lil Baby alongside some male friends at Rubin’s iconic Independence Day white party last year. “The day we lost Lil Baby,” he captioned the post.

Lil Baby Denies Having Painted Nails

Lil Baby didn’t hesitate to fire back. Shortly after DJ Akademiks posted the accusations, he hopped online to respond. He took to his Instagram Story with a photo of his hand, highlighting his unpainted nails. “Y’all blogs gotta stop just posting anything,” he wrote. “I ain’t painting my MF nails. At this point y’all gotta see n***as like Akademiks got an agenda. Miss me with that weird sh*t (No lol).” While he insists his own nails weren’t painted, he wouldn’t be the first rapper to rock the look.

Drake, for example, frequently flexes his polished nails proudly. According to him, he keeps them polished to prevent himself from biting them. He’s previously called out those hating on him for it, calling the backlash homophobic. What do you think of Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks beefing again? What about the rapper denying having his nails painted? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cardi B Is Done Dissing Female Rappers: “Y’all Need To Leave Me Alone”

Cardi B doesn’t want to go back and forth with any more female rappers. Venting about the drama she’s dealt with over the years on X Spaces, Cardi said she’d rather fight it out in person or not have beef at all. She explained that, no matter the context, she feels she always comes out looking like the villain.

“I’m so done with it,” Cardi told her fans. “I’m done with b****es, I’m done with the arguing. If anybody want to see me, they can fight me. I got short nails now. So, if anybody got an issue with me, they can link up and fight me. But I’m not going back-and-forth no more on Instagram on social media on records or nothing. That s**t been six years already. Guess what? No matter if I’m right or wrong, I look like the villain. But y’all need to leave me alone.”

The comments come after she previously detailed an incident with the LAPD, which she attributed to one of her “opps.” In Los Angeles, police allegedly made her get “butt-naked” during a search of her vehicle while accusing her of trafficking drugs. “They didn’t believe me,” she said, after explaining that she told the officers she was a celebrity. “It was some white cops and they ain’t know who I was. They was really tough on me and everything. They said somebody gave them a clue. I really feel like it was one of my opps and sh*t, like they really trying to ruin my life. Like y’all don’t even f*cking know. I been going through a lot lately.”

Azealia Banks Continues To Taunt Beyonce Amid “Cowboy Carter” Controversy

Azealia Banks is someone who has always spoken her mind on a wide variety of topics in the hip-hop and music world. Overall, one of her biggest targets over the years has been Beyonce. Whenever Bey drops a new song or enters a new era, Banks has something to say about it. This was especially true a couple of years ago when Beyonce gave us Renaissance. The album had house music influences, and Banks felt like the superstar didn’t do it the right way. These criticisms were relentless, and Banks felt like Beyonce was copying her in a sense. Now, Banks has gotten even more critical of Bey thanks to the Cowboy Carter rollout.

In a scathing rant posted to her Instagram account recently, Banks went off on Beyonce and Jay-Z for her new album. Of course, Cowboy Carter is set to drop on March 29th, and fans are excited about this new era of Bey. But as Banks explained, it all just feels like a huge eye roll. “Ugh, I’m so saddened by Jay-Z and his over strategizing everything [Bey does] to the point where it’s clearly his influence and not the real Bianca Bardot… Someone tell Jay-Z his strategies are corny and Beyonce has better ideas… We would like to see her outside without him and his pound puppy dreadlocks breathing all over herrrrrrr,” Banks said.

Azealia Banks Speaks

Yesterday, Banks continued to taunt Beyonce, this time with an image of Banks in cowboy gear from an old music video. In the caption of her post, she simply wrote “The OG.” It was yet another example of how Banks feels as though Beyonce has been watching her and copying her aesthetic. For now, Beyonce continues to ignore these criticisms, and it is doubtful that she will respond. Regardless, fans continue to look forward to Banks’ commentary.

Let us know what you think of the feud between Azealia Banks and Beyonce, in the comments section down below. Do you think Banks makes a good point? Do you think that Beyonce will ever respond?

Dee-1 says he wants to put an end to his feud with Joe Budden after the podcast host labeled him a “clout chaser” last year. Appearing on Big Loon’s It’s Up There podcast, the Christian rapper explained why he doesn’t want to have beef with Budden and detailed how they could mend their relationship.

I wrote this for kids! This is a children’s book, bro, that’s teaching them how to interact with one another even though they may have differences. Me and this dude on the cover who used to bully me, all these years later we best friends, bro … So, that’s why I’m looking forward to—dawg, I can’t wait to hug Joe Budden, bro.

“If I’m asking for forgiveness from God constantly, then who am I to tell somebody that I can’t forgive them?” he continued. “So, when I see things in the culture that’s contrary to the kingdom culture, I’m just like which one I’m choosing: kingdom culture or rap culture? Man, I love rap culture, but I gotta roll with [kingdom culture] … I have seen myself as a symbol for how other people can handle stuff in a way where it’s like you not gonna bully me, I’m not finna back down. But I’m gonna show you all how we can come full circle to where I do wanna dap Joe Budden off and sit down [with him]. At one time, he thought this is all a ploy so dude could get on my show or whatever. Man, I ain’t gotta come on your show.”
