Kendrick Lamar On Pace For The Biggest Streaming Year Of His Career

June 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar is on pace for the most successful streaming year of his career according to a new report from RapTV. Following his viral feud with Drake, which sparked the release of several popular diss songs including “Not Like Us” and “Euphoria,” Lamar could pass over 4 billion streams for the year.

When RapTV shared the news on Instagram, plenty of Drake’s fans took to the comments section with explanations. “I hate the people who started listening him after disses and act like they’ve been listening for years,” one fan wrote. Another added: “Drake single handedly revived this man’s career, as the biggest kendrick fan I love Drake for reviving his career and giving him his first #1 hit.” One more argued: “‘Where the drake fans at’ Drake literally gave him this boost. If the beef never happened we wouldn’t be discussing Kendrick until he dropped another album.”

Lamar’s beef with Drake began when he teamed up with Future and Metro Boomin for the song, “Like That,” back in March. A few weeks later, Drake responded with “Push Ups” and the two went song for song over the next month. While there was never an official end, Drake dropped the last diss track, “The Heart Part 6” back in May. He’s since scrubbed all of the songs from his social media pages.

Cardi B Promises To “Never Change The Way I Talk” Amid Criticism Of Her Accent

June 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B says she’ll never change the way she talks after a fan on X (formerly Twitter) asked whether criticism of her accent is racist. The comments come after BIA joked that Cardi speaks like she’s in the “second grade” during her new song, “Sue Meee?”

The conversation on X began when one user wrote: “At what point does making fun of Cardi B’s speech patterns become racist?” Cardi retweeted the post while adding: “Awwwww thanks for defending me [pleading face emoji]. FCK THEM. I will never change the way I talk. I became famous from that, just being myself! Then I started making music and became a millionaire out of it. THIS IS A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR ACCENT BABBYY OKKKKRRR.”

As for BIA’s remarks, they came amid her ongoing feud with Cardi. While the two have been at odds for at least a year, Cardi added fuel to the fire by dissing BIA on the new remix of Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla’s “Wanna Be.” After the two then traded shots on social media, BIA responded with “Sue Meee?” as a full diss track aimed at Cardi. “You should be home with your kids ’cause b*tch, you speak like second grade,” BIA raps. Cardi confirmed she was working on a response to the song when fans called on her to get active on X. “I’m hopping in the booth after I go to the gym, do this Zoom and get my pedi… GET OFF YOUR BREAK AND MAKE ME A CHEESEBURGER,” she replied to one user.

June 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B has revealed that she called up BIA to discuss their ongoing feud and the conversation immediately turned “very nasty.” In turn, she started recording the phone call because “you just never know with these hoes.” Cardi detailed the incident during a live stream on Instagram, on Saturday night, as caught by DJ Akademiks.

She began by revealing that she spoke with BIA and the conversation started “very nasty” and “very aggressive.” “I was coming at her and she was coming at me,” Cardi said, before showing that she recorded the conversation. “Then I called her back because I’m so appalled at the fact that she thinks that I’m copying her or that I’m stealing from her because there’s nothing that she do that I like. I don’t like her music. I don’t like her style. I don’t like how she look. I don’t like nothing about her. I don’t even see the b*tch.”

Cardi and BIA have been at odds since at least last year; however, things heated up when Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla released the remix to their song, “Wanna Be,” earlier this week. In an apparent diss for BIA, on the track, Cardi raps: “Though she was on the shelf, IKEA/ Hope she talk like that when I see her/ B*tch please, don’t nobody wanna be ya.” Shortly afterward, BIA wrote on Twitter: “B*TCHS IS WACK. B*TCHS IS TRASH. I SHOULD HANG B*TCHS RIGHT OVER MY KNEE, THE WAY I BE PUTTIN MY BELT TO THEY ASSSSSSSS.”

“We can’t let Soulja Boy come to the U.K.,” K-Trap said during an interview with Billy the Goat as caught by AllHipHop. He added: “That was disrespectful. Any [American rappers] that’s come and locked in with real street n****s know it’s serious.” K-Trap also mentioned rappers from the United States always staying in luxury hotels when they visit London.

You lame as f*ck, n***a,” he said on Instagram Live. “Take your p*ssy ass back to Britain, b*tch.” 21 fired back “I been in Atlanta since 1st grade lost my virginity there got shot there in and out of juvenile there. I went from the hospital in London straight to the projects yall think London is rodeo dr lol.” Soulja even continued to go after 21 despite eventually apologizing to Metro Boomin.

Travis Scott & Tyga’s Alleged Cannes Fight: What Happened?

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The glamorous backdrop of the Cannes Film Festival took an unexpected turn when an altercation involving some big-name celebrities erupted. According to initial reports, Travis Scott and Tyga had allegedly gotten into a public fight. Naturally, this sparked significant buzz and speculation. This was especially true due to their shared history with reality TV star Kylie Jenner. However, new information has revealed that it wasn’t actually Tyga that Travis had gotten into a scuffle with. So, what really happened?

The Incident At Cannes

According to a source who spoke to E! News, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards fought with Travis at a party. On May 23, 2024, Travis Scott and Tyga were at “The After” party hosted by Richie Akiva, following the 2024 amFar Gala. Travis, Tyga, and A.E. were all on stage being introduced by the event’s host. The clash reportedly began when Travis allegedly snatched the mic out of Richie’s hand and threw it to the floor. A.E then tried to de-escalate the situation but Travis walked off stage, only to return with rapper and record producer, Southside. According to the source, Southside became aggressive with A.E., which led to him getting punched by A.E. The source stated: “Southside began to become aggressive with people on stage and pushed A.E… Things escalated when Southside decided to not calm down, so A.E. eventually punched Southside.

You may be wondering what all this had to do with Travis Scott. Well, the rapper became part of the incident when he allegedly tried to push A.E. off the stage. On the other hand, Tyga was spotted standing behind the DJ booth, seemingly unfazed by everything going on. Security eventually intervened and managed to break up the fight without any serious injuries. After the incident, Travis Scott and Southside promptly left while A.E. and Tyga chose to stay and enjoy the party until the early morning, according to the source.

Is Kylie Jenner To Blame?

Videos of the scuffle soon circulated online, showing the chaotic scene and drawing widespread attention. Fans quickly speculated that the brawl began because of Tyga and Travis’s past connection to Kylie Jenner. Tyga and Kylie Jenner dated publicly from 2014 to 2017, during which time their relationship was often in the media spotlight. After their breakup, Kylie began dating Travis in 2017. The couple have two children together and finally split in 2023.

This shared romantic history has occasionally fueled rumors of rivalry between the two rappers. However, there has been no evidence to prove that the scuffle was because of the model. After all, Travis Scott and Tyga have had a few interactions over the years that have not led to fights. Both have also maintained successful music careers and have crossed paths at various industry events. For example, in 2022, Tyga supported Travis by attending Travis’s first performance since his 2021 Astroworld Festival. Altogether, the two rappers are evidently amicable and cordial with each other, at least in public. In the wake of the Cannes incident, neither Travis Scott, Tyga, A.E., Southside, nor Richie have made a public statement.

NLE Choppa Reveals Who Won Drake & Kendrick Lamar Battle

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical feud continues to make headlines as it dies down. Countless social media users and peers have shared their take on the viral debacle, and who they believe came out on top. The consensus is that it was Kendrick, who unleashed “Meet The Grahams” on Drake less than an hour after “Family Matters” dropped. The cherry on top was “Not Like Us,” which has arguably become the most successful track to come out of the beef.

In a sneak peek of an upcoming interview with Billboard, NLE Choppa weighed in on who he believes won, but his answer may not be what one would expect. According to him, it all comes down to how each of the artists feels at the end of the day. Moreover, he thinks the real win would be if they teamed up to do a song together, which would undoubtedly leave fans in shambles.

NLE Choppa Says “The Real Win” Would Be Drake & Kendrick Coming Together To Do A Song

“I think the win is like, you know, how Kendrick go home and feel about it, and how Drizzy will go home and feel about it. I think the win would be like both of them coming together and doing a song together, I think that’s one of the most beautiful wins,” he explained. Kendrick and Drake’s beef isn’t all he discussed in the interview, however. He also opened up about his own issues with Blueface.

“I can kill you on the beat and then I call you and be like ‘Hey bro, I’m done f*cking with you,’” he explained. What do you think of NLE Choppa’s take on Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef? Do you agree that the real win would be them coming together to make a song, or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A clip of Pharrell praising a young Kendrick Lamar in the studio is resurfacing on social media amid the two rapper’s beef with Drake. Fans believe Pharrell was unhappy with Drake dissing him on the track, “Meltdown,” which prompted Lamar to call out Drake for doing so on his song, “Euphoria.” In the old video, Pharrell shares some advice for Lamar.

“All that jazz sh*t that you have in your music, that’s the sh*t man. Do not lose the producers,” Pharrell advises Lamar. “It’s interesting to me that you guys did harder music but with like the chords.” When Akademiks shared the clip on Instagram, fans had mixed responses. “Idc who you are, beefing with Pharrell is top tier cornball sh*t,” one user wrote. Another added: “Pharrell don’t give a f*ck about those chains lmfao. Drake acts like he stole it off his neck lmfao goofy.”

Following the release of Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, Pharrell labeled him one of the greatest songwriters of his generation during an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1. “Kendrick is one of the greatest writers of our times, and he is a great writer because he knows how to be very disciplined with a subject matter,” Pharrell explained. “He knows that stickiness is important, and he knows that it has to feel great. So when we were making Mr. Morale, I watched the rhythms hit him and I watched it just bubble to the surface, whatever the song was making him feel, and I watched him commit to that, and I watched him stay disciplined. He’s different.”

Millyz previously dissed Machine Gun Kelly during an appearance on DJ Cosmic Kev’s The Come Up Show Live, back in November. While rapping over the beat for N.O.R.E.’s “Blood Money Pt. 3,” he labeled MGK “goofy” and defended Jack Harlow after Kelly dissed him. Before that, Millyz took aim at the Cleveland native during an interview with VladTV in 2022. “MGK is garbage,” he said at the time. “He can’t rap, but he got a good rockstar image, but like I’m a real rapper. I really break down bars, syllables and words, so I look past image and flow. A lot of white rappers just came through and did that fast flow and said nothing, so he came in with a rockstar image and all of that, but you’re not nice though.”

DJ Akademiks Isn’t Happy With Lil Yachty’s Stance On Drake & Kendrick Lamar, Says Drake Needs A “Delusional” Friend

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks doesn’t think Lil Yachty is the type of friend Drake needs right now and instead wishes the Toronto rapper had a “delusional” friend who would back him up no matter what the context. He made the comments in response to Yachty discussing the feud on his A Safe Space podcast and admitting he has respect for both Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

“Yachty, and I f*ck with you, but I gotta agree with this fan,” he began, referencing a user critiquing Yachty for not sticking up more for Drake. “If I’m Drake, I need a delusional friend with me. I need the friend that I’m mad drunk in the club with and I’m stumbling all over the place and I stepped on somebody’s foot by mistake but then that person shoves me and rather than tryna figure it out like, ‘Oh, actually you stepped on his foot first,’ my delusional friend just comes over my shoulder with a punch. ‘Why the f*ck you touching Ak?!’ We can talk about the other sh*t later my n***a. I need my delusional friends right now. That’s what we need. I’ma keep it a bean, Drake needs one of those.” From there, Akademiks argued Drake needs to start making some new friends.

Lamar actually name-drops Yachty on his diss track, “Euphoria,” accusing him of ghostwriting for Drake. He admitted on his podcast that he wasn’t happy with the mention. “So many people kept calling and texting me with excitement of my name being used and for me it kinda just felt like… I really didn’t want anything to do with it,” Yachty confessed. “I got a ton of respect for both of these guys. Honestly, it was a cool thing to watch. I learned so much. It was an honor and blessing to be able to experience it firsthand.”

Baka Not Nice Seemingly Addresses Kendrick Lamar’s “Weird Case” Diss In Cryptic Statement

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Baka Not Nice has seemingly addressed Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss, in which the Compton rapper accuses the longtime OVO member of having a “weird case.” In 2015, he pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman and was sentenced to six months in jail. Additionally, he was charged with forcing the woman into prostitution, but that case was dropped when she refused to testify.

On Sunday, he shared a picture of himself on his Instagram Story with a caption that seemingly addressed the situation. “I STAY WITH INTELLIGENT PPL I’M NOT A FOLLOWER YOU CAN’T LEAD ME TO NO SLAUGHTER MEN LIE WOMAN LIE BUT PAPERWORK CAN’T,” he wrote.

Baka isn’t the only member of OVO that Lamar brings up on the song. He raps: “They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs / And Party at the party playin’ with his nose now / And Baka got a weird case, why is he around? / Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles.” Drake fired back in response to the remarks with the song, “The Heart Part 6,” which he dropped a day after Lamar’s track. He raps: “Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected / If I was f*cking young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested / I’m way too famous for this sh*t you just suggested.” In the weeks since the chaotic weekend during which both artists dropped several diss tracks, the two have been silent.
