Drake Praised Joe Budden In Resurfaced Footage: Watch

Drake engaged in a bitter feud with Joe Budden over the weekend. Overall, this all stems from Joe’s initial reactions to For All The Dogs. Budden felt like the album was weak and that it showcased an unwillingness for Drizzy to grow. Instead, Budden felt like the whole album was made for the kids, which doesn’t make sense considering his age.

“[Drake is] rapping for the children,” Budden said. “I had to look up how old this n***a was when I finished listening to the album … You gonna be 37 years old. Get the fuck away from some of these younger n****s, and stop fucking these 25-year-olds. … Why are you still fucking the 25-year-olds? You’re a 37-year-old billionaire.” Drake did not find this criticism particularly amusing, and he launched a scathing attack as a result. He isn’t letting his foot off the gas, however, some feel like the hate is misguided. This is especially true as footage has surfaced of Drizzy praising Joe Budden at a show back in 2009.

“I’m happy, I’m honored — I’m honored to be around you, man,” Drake said to Budden. “So, I can’t be honest on your network, here? I can’t be honest to your fans and say I’m honored to be around you?” If you are aware of the lore, you know that Drake was heavily influenced by Joe Budden. Budden was a pioneer when it came to being vulnerable in hip-hop and the megastar took note. This old footage just speaks to Joe’s influence and how Drake was probably deeply hurt by Budden’s review. Needless to say, it is easy to see how that IG onslaught came about.

Furthermore, a lot of fans are using this footage as a “this you” of sorts. With Drake calling Joe Budden a “bum,” to put it mildly, fans are seeing some hypocrisy here. In the internet’s eyes, it is a sign of weakness as well as a sign that Budden’s critiques hit too close to home. Let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world.

Chrisean Rock And JackBoy Feud After Rapper Compares His Domestic Violence Allegations To Her And Blueface

Chrisean Rock is feuding with former Kodak Black affiliate JackBoy. “Jack boy shut yo ugly ass up what I got to [do] with you beating ya bitch up if I was her both of us would have black eyes not just her with ya small ass n ya dreads would be pulled out … and dats ain’t how u say my name either tf,” Rock wrote on X. The situation appears to stem from comments Jackboy made on a recent livestream. After being accused of domestic violence by his girlfriend, Jackboy said the situation was “not like Chrisean and Blueface”.

JackBoy is the subject of some pretty horrific abuse allegations from Lexxstasy, a rapper affiliated with his 1804 Records label. “He would beat the shit out of me, spit on me, made me sit in the shower butt-ass naked with a fan on, in a sixty-degree house. [He] would make me suck dick or fuck him after he beat my ass bloody, bruised, eyes damn near shut,” Lexxstay claimed on Instagram Live. She also alleged that JackBoy had once choked and pistol-whipped her until he “almost killed” her.

Chrisean Rock Called Out By Brother

However, Jackboy isn’t the only person coming after Rock in recent days. Her brother Mookie called Rock out after she blurred their sister out of her newest music video and also reportedly did not give him any sort of production credit. “Nothing about this song was selfish. It hurt me that I didn’t get a tag, a like, a comment when I posted the song months ago. Than to take Tifa out the song is spiteful. I could have atleas got tagged in my own song. We family, I put this song together for my family, and then you changed the name of the song,” Mookie wrote on Instagram. Furthermore, he went as far as to call Rock “spiteful and evil”.

It’s unclear why Rock blurred out her sister in the video for “Prayer For Chrisean Jr”. However, fans believe it stems from a post that Blueface made that was clearly intended to upset Rock. Rock has subsequently made molestation and cousin-fucking allegations against her sister. This comes as the two appear on Baddies East together and following the revelation that Rock once had her sister jumped.

In the time since the clip, Kanye produced half of Pusha’s It’s Almost Dry so it appears the two made amends afterward. Following West’s infamous antisemitism scandal in 2022, Pusha revealed that the two of them weren’t on speaking terms anymore.

“It’s beyond that and it’s nothing to tap dance around,” he told XXL at the time. “It’s wrong. Period. But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again. ’Cause we done had this for years… He’s not speaking to me now. If you ain’t with it, you ain’t down. And I ain’t with it. I’m not budging on that. I’m not with it. I heard about this new stuff (on InfoWars). I don’t know. It’s something that just sort of tells me he’s not well, at the same time. I will say that. It’s going to places where it’s no way to move around it.“ Check out West’s resurfaced clip above.

The tension between Bow Wow and Romeo picked up back in 2021 during Romeo’s appearance on Fox Soul’s The Mix.

Things escalated from there, with Romeo writing on his Instagram Story: “Regarding this Verzuz talk, I’ve gave this man Bow @shadmoss his roses since we was kids and even reached out myself (multiple times) to celebrate him and our era together in a creative way. I could put my pride to the side if it means doing something positive and bringing back nostalgia for a dope ass generation.” He continued: “Now if you think this is smoke my brother, we could hit up @loganpaul and get on one of those boxing tickets. You know me in real life bro, we aren’t kids anymore; leave that for the fans.

Malik Yusef Theorizes Kanye’s Antisemitism Was Aimed At Drake

Malik Yusef says he believes Kanye West’s antisemitic remarks were aimed at Drake. Appearing on the Rap Today With Francis podcast, he also claimed that West has forbidden him from working with the Toronto rapper and attempted to stop Travis Scott from doing the same.

“I think they were for Drake,” he said. “That’s what I think. I don’t know who else you would say that was. I have never directly worked with Drake ’cause Kanye asked me not to. He said, ‘Please don’t go work directly with Drake.’ I said, ‘Okay.’ ‘Cause Kanye’s brother, but I love Drake too, though. He asked Travis [Scott] the same thing, but Travis said no.”

Yusef also theorized that Kanye’s antisemitism might not be legitimate and instead all an act. He explained: “He’s saying he’s attacked by the Jews — I don’t fucking know. I see him with Jewish people all the time. One night, when he was going through that rant, he was in a car with a Jewish dude, so I don’t know, man. I think it’s all entertainment. He’s an entertainer, he’s born to be an entertainer, and I think that’s what this shit is.” Check out Yusef’s full comments below.

Further speaking on Drake and Kanye’s feud, Yusef also argued that Ye has no right to be upset with Drake. “I think that Drake loves Kanye, and that Kanye hates that Drake loves him,” Yusef said. “I don’t feel like him being angry with Drake has any credence, because Drake has been nothing but kind and good and a good student of Kanye, so I don’t know where the anger comes from. ’He took my style!’ Okay, cool. Drake takes everybody’s style. To me, Drake has his own unique style — it’s a hodgepodge of several different styles.” Drake and Kanye famously feuded during the rollout of their albums Donda and Certified Lover Boy in 2021.

Tinashe Responds To Chris Brown Drama, Claims She Is Open To Reconciliation

Tinashe and Chris Brown have found themselves at odds as of late. Overall, this stems from some comments the former made on the Zach Sang Show. Essentially, the songstress feels like her label forced her to collaborate with R. Kelly and Chris Brown. She noted that she was embarrassed by some of those collaborations, especially the ones with Kelly. As for CB, she felt like the label was putting him on her songs because they were trying to do anything that could make her top the charts.

“We all wanted [‘Player’] to be this big moment, this big single. So I feel like in [RCA’s] mind, they were like ‘You need the support.’ And [Brown] was like their biggest artist that they had on rhythmic radio at the time,” Tinashe said. “I was like, ‘Well, this is a pop song, so I really don’t feel like we should put Chris on it like that. I don’t like that. That doesn’t compute to me.’” Subsequently, Brown clapped back and said no one can name five Tinashe songs off the top of their head.

Tinashe Speaks

Recently, TMZ was able to catch up with the singer, where they asked her about the whole situation. Overall, she feels like the whole thing has been blown out of proportion. She claims that if Chris Brown watched the interview, he wouldn’t feel anywhere near as badly. However, she understands why he might be upset. From there, she noted that she is open to reconciling with him and having a conversation. That said, she doesn’t expect that to happen anytime soon.

Needless to say, this saga has been a bit of a wild ride. No one probably could have predicted that Tinashe and Chris Brown would be at war in 2023. Let us know who you believe is in the right, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Blueface & Lil Baby Seemingly Send Subliminal Shots On Twitter

Blueface is someone who has been making millions of headlines as of late. Overall, this is due to the fact that Chrisean Rock just gave birth to their son. Moreover, he and Jaidyn Alexis have been getting into a ton of drama. This is mostly because Blue has been spending time with Chrisean and his new child. Ultimately, this is all very messy, and there are a lot of people involved in this weird love web. One such person is Lil Baby, who Blueface claims Chrisean was sleeping with, or at least tried to sleep with.

On a new song called “Baby Momma Drama,” Blueface decided to offer a shot at the Atlanta artist. “Lil Baby thought he knew me,” Blueface raps. “How you let another grown man feel up on your booty.” These bars are a clear declaration of war. Any rapper be incensed at this kind of disrespect, and as it turns out, Lil Baby is no different. Last night, he offered a tweet where he simply said, “Whooo? Y’all stop playing.” Subsequently, Blue responded by saying, “You know who.” However, it was a subtweet as he did not quote or reply to Baby’s tweet.

Lil Baby & Blueface Go At It

At this point, it is clear that the two do not like each other. Although, one has to wonder what Baby thinks about being wrapped up in all of this. He has steered clear of such feuds in the past, but now, he is being dragged into something that has been going on for months. Overall, fans are hoping for some diss tracks between the two. After all, Lil Baby has dealt with claims that he fell off. A solid diss track would likely put a stop to that.

For Blueface, the next few weeks will likely be filled with dad duties. Moreover, he will have to navigate the complexity of his relationship with both Chrisean and Jaidyn Alexis. Once again, there is truly never a dull moment in this man’s life. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below.

Envy accused him of being “disrespectful” to his wife, which Tyrese denied having any recollection of. Eventually, Envy brought his wife, Gia, on the show, where she detailed their relationship. “He and I became friends and we were very, very cool and we spoke often. But, for me, it got to a point where it became inappropriate,” she said. “Like, he was extremely demanding of my time and my attention, where, if I didn’t give him my time or my attention, he would get very angry.” She then elaborated: “There was flirting and inappropriate compliments.”

“I deeply regret my insensitive comment and want to humbly apologize to anybody I hurt or offended by my thoughtlessness,” she said. “My choice of words was wrong, and I take full responsibility for what I said.

Grimes is attempting to de-escalate the feud between herself and Shivon Zilis after remarking that she has never been “allowed” to see photos of Zilis and Elon Musk’s twins. Taking to Twitter on Monday, the singer explained that she and Zilis have finally discussed the situation and made amends.

“I spoke with Shivon at length finally, which was long overdue,” she explained. “This wasn’t her fault, plz don’t be angry at her! We respect each other a lot and we’re excited to become friends and have the kids grow up together.” She also apologized to biographer Walter Isaacson who originally shared photos of the twins. “As u can imagine, that was a very gut level reaction to a thing that has been very hard for me. Communication about the twins wasn’t handled super well in the past, but I now totally understand what happened and totally forgive the situation,” she said. “Women are so often pitted against each other. Speaking with Shivon, it’s very evident she’s an amazing human and we both just want what’s best for our kids.”
