Lil Yachty recently discussed his friendship with Drake and how close the two are despite having very different lifestyles. He explained their relationship during an interview with Complex, last week. Yachty revealed that he enjoys staying in and making music, while Drake is more social. Despite the difference, they are still close friends.
“Me and him are kind of different when it comes to lifestyle,” Yachty said. “Like we’re really similar as people, but as far as life, we’re very different. Like, I don’t go out, he loves to go out, he loves to host people, he loves to party and I don’t like people that much.”

He continued: “And I record every day all day, where he kind of is very selective on his recording days as he has more of a life than I do. And, he is much more into actually living life as to where I am literally trying to record music every day. And I don’t know if I get that from him of like, ‘Oh, I should go live a life too,’ because I enjoy not living life, I enjoy making music. This is my fun. I hate going out. So, if anything, I just realized that you can be so similar to somebody yet so different at the same time.”
The comments come as Drake gears up for the release of his new album, For All The Dogs. While he’s kept many of the details close to his chest, he has confirmed that his longtime collaborator, Nicki Minaj, will appear on the project. He’s also revealed the cover art, featuring a design by his son Adonis. The album is set to drop on Friday, October 6. Be on the lookout for further updates on the effort on HotNewHipHop.
Virtually all that we know about Bianca Censori has come to light via insiders and sources gossiping to the tabloids. Much of it has suggested that her relationship with Kanye West is having a negative impact on the Australian. Prior to marrying the father of four earlier this year, she worked for Yeezy as an architect. Now, she apparently operates in more of a “personal assistant” capacity for her husband. This involves helping him oversee various projects and streamlining all the channels of communication coming toward him so that Ye can better understand what’s needed of him.
Sources speaking with The US Sun shared this earlier in the week. They noted that there’s fear of Censori’s “brilliant” mind being put to waste. Nevertheless, it’s hard to deny that she and her beau can’t get enough of each other. They never shy away from packing on the PDA while out with other friends. As she navigates this major transitional period in her life, the model’s former circle has tried to get in touch with her. However, they’ve reportedly been iced out by Censori.
Ye and Bianca Censori Are Hardly Apart From Each Other

“She’s shut everyone out and told one of her former friends to ‘f**k off’ when they tried to ask if she was okay. She is saying that her friends are just jealous of her stardom,” they allegedly told DailyMail on Tuesday (September 19). “Bianca knows how to grab headlines now. She loves being Kanye’s muse because it gives her what she has always wanted – fame,” they added. After months of trying, it seems Censori’s friends are “done trying because she is a thirsty lost cause.”
While Bianca Censori’s friends have been desperately attempting to get in touch with her, she’s been travelling through beautiful Europe with Kanye West. More often than not, the pair has caused a stir with their outfits, with the rapper going mostly incognito while his wife bares it all in sheer tights and heels. See photos from the pair’s recent bold London Fashion Week outing at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Cardi B is hot off the release of her new single alongside Megan Thee Stallion, “Bongos.” The duo graced the stage of the VMAs earlier this week to perform the energetic track, and fans were living for it. It’s not the first time they teamed up to drop some heat, however. Famously, they joined forces back in 2020 for their award-winning song “WAP.”
Fans are loving the new song, and glad to see the two of them working together again. Meg has been on a bit of a hot girl break as of late, and supporters were thrilled to see her onstage at the VMAs. Recently, Cardi took to social media to celebrate the Texas-born performer, and share some adorable new photos. “Thank you @theestallion for everything,” she captioned the sweet post. “You my heart.”
In one of the photos, Cardi B smiles while holding massive bouquet of red roses, presumably gifted to her by Megan Thee Stallion. In the other photo, Meg enjoys a sweet treat with Cardi’s 2-year-old son, Wave. The young boy looks overjoyed to be spending time with Meg, and to have gotten his hands on a lollipop.
Though most fans are living for their new single, not everyone has been on board. Cardi is no stranger to clapping back, and it appears as though it’s for good reason. During a recent appearance on The Sprout Podcast, she revealed that being vocal about the criticism actually helps her to work through it. “I feel like every artist should do what works for them and what’s good for they mental health,” she explained. “Bottling things inside and let people, like, front certain narratives of me, it will bother me inside. So, I’d rather just let it out.” What do you think of Cardi B’s sweet new Twitter post?

Fat Joe is someone who has been through a lot in his career. Overall, he is a legend in the game who has crafted some massive hits. Moreover, he has helped bring us some incredible talents as well. At the end of the day, you cannot discredit what he has achieved. Unfortunately, just like any other artist, there have been times when he has been left feeling like he should quit. Whether it be critical reception, writer’s block, or something else, any artist can resonate with the feeling of wanting to give up.
However, the artist has kept it going over the years. As it turns out, a big reason for that is none other than Eminem. While speaking on the Rap Radar podcast, Fat Joe revealed how he wanted to retire a few years ago. Fortunately, he was convinced not to by Em who randomly picked up the phone one day. The rapper was very surprised by the call, although it felt wonderful to receive. To this day, the rapper feels like he is indebted to Eminem in some way.
“You know, I owe Eminem so many favors. Like I have used my relationship with this guy to oblivion. […] You know he tried to talk me out of retirement!?” Joe remarked. “I was in my mother’s house, shirt off, topless. My phone rings, it’s a number I don’t know. Thank God, I picked it up. It’s Eminem. He starts trying to convince me for an hour, ‘Don’t leave.’ He was almost depressed that I was leaving our era.”
During hip-hop’s 50th anniversary, there has been a lot of talk about the genre’s pioneers and retirement. Consequently, Fat Joe’s revelation certainly fits into the current discourse. At the end of the day, we’re just glad Eminem stepped in when he did. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Drake is easily one of the biggest artists in the world. Overall, his tour is making a whole lot of money. Moreover, there have been some exceptionally famous people making their way to his shows. On Monday night, LeBron James and his oldest son Bronny showed up to the party. Bronny and LeBron got to walk Drizzy to the stage, which must have been an incredible sight to see. After all, LeBron is easily the most famous person to get to do this thus far. If you live in Los Angeles, these things are probably to be expected at this point.
LeBron and Drake have been friends for a very long time now. The NBA superstar has always supported Drizzy and his music. Additionally, the Canadian artist has always made it a point to go watch Bron play. This mutual respect has lasted over a decade. On Monday, during the concert, Drake decided to pay homage to his friend. Below, you can see a speech in which he spoke about just how supportive of a guy LeBron really is. It was a truly great speech to hear, especially when you think of the history behind it.
“In 2009, when nobody believed in anything I had going on, that same guy showed up to a release party… He came all the way to Toronto to support me… Tonight… it’s an honor to be inside his building.”
“The gentleman that walked me to stage tonight is my brother,” he said. “In 2009, when nobody believed in anything I had going on, that same guy showed up to a release party for a mixtape that was called So Far Gone. He came all the way to Toronto, Canada to support me, when I was trying to figure out how I can live my dreams.” The crowd was loving every second of the speech, and rightfully so. It must have been an incredible atmosphere and if you’re LeBron, it was probably a great feeling.

Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart have forged a friendship that has uniquely stood the test of time. The unexpected pair became one of Hollywood’s favorite duos. Despite the disparities in public perception, Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart’s friendship is a lesson in breaking stereotypes. The great friends have also worked together on many occasions, and almost fifteen years after their initial meeting, they are still inseparable.
Snoop Dogg has gained a reputation over the years for completing “side quests” in life. After having done it all, the laidback rapper has made several career ventures that have shaped his persona today. On the other hand, Martha Stewart has been widely known as a lifestyle guru. From her home-making business endeavors, including a successful cooking show, Stewart’s media persona has largely been one associated with hospitality. The pair’s first couple of appearances together were met with admiration, but a close-knit bond undoubtedly took the world by surprise. Here’s a timeline of their enduring friendship.
Snoop Dogg And Martha Stewart Meet
The unlikely duo first met in 2008 on Stewart’s cooking show Martha. Snoop Dogg was a guest star on an episode, and joined in making mashed potatoes. The episode was a hit among viewers, who adored their witty banter and hilarious remarks together. Fast forward to 2009, and Snoop returned to the show, this time to make brownies. The Christmas-themed episode featured tons of not-so-subtle marijuana innuendos and showed how easily their chemistry flowed on camera. When Snoop asked Stewart when they’d be adding “the most important part” of the recipe to the batch, she cheekily said, “later.”
In 2010, Snoop Dogg referred to Martha Stewart as “sunshine” on Twitter. He asked for “some goodies” for a party, alluding to the brownies they made a year prior. Three years later, the rapper tweeted at the homemaker once more, this time with an edited photo of the pair making brownies on her show.
In March 2014, Stewart held a Reddit AMA, where she discussed her friendship with Snoop. “I wish I were closer friends with Snoop Dogg,” Stewart replied. Eight months later, Snoop gave a shout-out to Stewart for inspiring his candle line.
Snoop Dogg And Martha Stewart Reunite On Stage
In 2015, the charming Snoop-Stewart duo finally reunited in front of the cameras for the first time since 2009. They appeared on Comedy Central’s Roast of Justin Bieber episode. Stewart would later reveal during a hilarious chat with Seth Meyers that she got high off all the secondhand smoke in the room. In spite of a long absence from the public, 2015 would mark the beginning of a string of appearances by the pair.
In 2016, Stewart and Snoop got into business together, but not before competing on $100,000 Pyramid where they both crushed it. Their cooking show, Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Partywas announced a month later. The show was met with rave reviews and featured a wide variety of guest stars. Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party was eventually nominated for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program category.
Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart continued to shower each other with love all through the rest of 2016. The rapper gushed about his friendship with Stewart in an interview with Rolling Stone. “I’ve never met anyone like Martha Stewart. When we come together, it’s a natural combination of love, peace, and harmony,” he said.
Stewart also took to Instagram to show love to Snoop. She posted a selfie with him, as well as a painting Snoop made for her as a gift. By October, they were on Ellen together, playing a game of Never Have I Ever. Both stars revealed they had gotten up to a lot of shenanigans, including using their fame to get out of trouble and their experiences on nude beaches.
The Snoop And Martha Relationship Continues To Thrive
In 2018. Snoop released his cookbook, From Crook To Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen. Stewart wrote the foreword which was packed with many wholesome moments detailing the “remarkable experience” she had working with Snoop and how he taught her many cultural references and “new lingo”.
The third season of Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart’s cooking show featured a fun twist. The show was transformed into a competition, and celebrity guests would either be a part of Team Martha or Team Snoop. The trailer for the new season featured the pair in a hilarious Titanic spoof.
Even during the mandatory lockdown of 2020, Stewart and Snoop remained tight. The pair appeared on Stewart’s HGTV show Martha Knows Best, where she guided him on how to pot a tomato plant. Later in 2020, they baked cookies together on Zoom for a Salesforce event.
Throughout 2021, Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart appeared together on multiple occasions. They were the co-hosts of the 2021 Puppy Bowl which airs annually before Super Bowl Sunday. They also judged a Halloween cooking competition, Snoop and Martha’s Very Tasty Halloween. In 2022, they returned as co-hosts for the Puppy Bowl once again. Later in the year, Stewart’s podcast The Martha Stewart Podcast featured Snoop Dogg as its first guest.
Snoop Dogg And Martha Stewart’s Legacy As A Duo
Despite being 30 years apart in age, and having starkly contrasting backgrounds, Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart’s friendship has waxed strong. Both stars have respected each other’s cultures while finding some refreshing common ground. Their shared interests, particularly in food, brought them together, but their mutual respect has kept them going.
Their bond has indirectly served to diminish racial stereotypes concerning friendships from separate worlds. While there have been eyebrow-raising moments regarding whether the pair encourage cultural appropriation, their genuine connection proves otherwise. Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart’s business endeavors have garnered a diverse crowd from all demographics. Between their back-and-forth banter and multiple business collaborations, the relationship has been a lesson in love. By embracing each other’s differences and similarities, Snoop and Martha as a duo have enjoyed great success.
Lil Tjay is someone who has been at it for a while now. Overall, he continues to be seen as one of the best artists of his class. He is part of the younger generation that puts a whole lot of stock into melodies. Moreover, he is someone who reps New York quite heavily. Of course, New York is responsible for a new drill movement, and Tjay has been part of that. Fans love this sound, and it has certainly cemented its place within hip-hop as a whole.
That said, whenever you talk about Brooklyn or New York drill, you have to mention Pop Smoke. Pop Smoke tragically passed away a few years ago during a robbery. Subsequently, the artist had a posthumous album come out and it immediately rose to the top of the charts. Since that time, many of his peers have continued to honor his legacy, anyway they can. That includes Lil Tjay, who always looked up to the artist. Recently, Tjay was even able to show off a special piece of art that displays his love for Pop Smoke.
In the image above, you can see Lil Tjay holding a painting. In the painting, you have Pop Smoke to the right. Additionally, Tjay is on the left as he holds up some money while flexing a Supreme Box logo tee. The artist was clearly excited to have this new piece of art as it was in his home. For now, however, it remains to be seen where in his home he will decide to hang it up. No matter what, it is a nice commemorative piece that will always remind Tjay of one of his best friends and inspirations.
If you were to look at the comments section of the Instagram post, you can see many people paying homage to Pop Smoke. All these years later, people still love him and what he stood for. Let us know what you think of the painting, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all things related to the music world.
Conway The Machine says that JAY-Z is one of the only people in the music industry who genuinely cares about his well-being. The former Griselda rapper explained how JAY-Z is a “real” and “genuine dude” during a Twitter Spaces talk with Elliott Wilson.
“This is probably the one guy, only guy who I felt like genuinely cared about me and my well-being. He ask about how I’m doing, and family stuff, shit like that. It’s just regular shit,” Conway said before adding, “I kind of respect that and like that a little more.”

From there, Conway explained that he doesn’t get star-struck when he hangs out with JAY-Z, which he attributes to helping their friendship. “I ain’t really trippin off the ‘Oh man, it’s JAY-Z.’ That’s probably why we ain’t did a lot of music together and stuff because I don’t hit him up about stuff like that,” he added. “We hang out. I might not even get a picture. You won’t even know that we hung out. I think he like that about me too.”
Despite not doing “a lot of music together,” JAY-Z did bring Conway in for “King Kong Riddim” off the soundtrack for the 2021 Netflix film The Harder They Fall. The comments come following the release of Conway’s latest album, Won’t He Do It.
Won’t He Do It is Conway’s first album since last year’s God Don’t Make Mistakes, and his first post-Shady Records release. The project features Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Fabolous, as well as Juicy J, and more. During an interview with Rolling Stone following the release of the project, Conway revealed that he explained that he recorded “five to six albums worth of material” after going to Denver last summer.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. No one could have anticipated the dramatic turn in store for Jonathan Majors earlier this year when the premiere of his two latest movies was quickly followed by an arrest and assault charges. The embattled actor is facing accusations of attacking a woman in a cab. Of course, his legal team has maintained his innocence since the story first broke. To support their statement, lawyers previously shared iMessages from the reported victim. However, many social media users believe they only make Majors look more guilty.
In addition to that, the 33-year-old has been dropped by his management team. He also will no longer be attending the upcoming Met Gala. In recent days, a handful of other women have come forward with allegations aimed at Majors, causing further turmoil to unravel in his life. “It’s no surprise that his phone is ringing much less these days. That is what happens in all walks of life — but especially in Hollywood. Friends turn cold,” a source has told Page Six of the latest update. “This could not have happened at a more worse time [for his career],” they added.
Jonathan Majors’ Assault Allegations Cost Him Big

Majors was undeniably riding a high earlier this year. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania arrived in February, and Creed III made its debut the month after. “You can’t deny that the man is a talented actor, but right now he has to reassess and gather a whole new team,” the outlet’s insider also noted. Just last week, it was revealed that the California-born entertainer has been cut from several upcoming projects, including Otis And Zelma, and Nadia Latif’s The Man In My Basement.
He’s also expected to appear in various Marvel projects soon, and at this time, there have been no reports of any changes there. With the latest allegations against The Harder They Fall actor, however, that may be reconsidered down the road.
