Global recording artist Giggs joined Nicki Minaj live last night at The O2 Arena in London during her Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
The surprise collaboration electrified the audience, adding excitement to the already highly anticipated event. Minaj’s tour, which has been breaking records and garnering widespread acclaim, continues to deliver memorable performances and special guest appearances, solidifying its status as a must-see musical extravaganza.
The lawsuit involving Diddy has captured global attention but the subsequent fallout has seen several high-profile names attached to the case, including UK rapper Giggs. Most recently, Akademiks uncovered redacted names in the suit. The suit described two superstars, a “Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj” and an R&B singer who “performed at the Super Bowl,” as two individuals who engaged in sexual intercourse with the music mogul. However, TikTok sleuths attempted to make the connection between Giggs and Diddy.
One particular social media personality revealed that Giggs helped Diddy procure straight men for sex whenever the mogul was in London. And while the two formed a tight bond over the past few years, collaborating on songs like “Mandem,” there hasn’t been any direct mention of the UK MC in the court documents, at least none that have been verified. Still, social media took the speculation and ran with it, spreading the allegations across Twitter, Instagram, and Twitter like wildfire.
As the allegations spread, and one particular influencer claimed that Giggs supplied Diddy with men overseas, the Landlord rapper took to social media to seemingly dispel the claims. In a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, he demanded that fans “cut the crap” and quit entertaining the rumors. “No one cant ever bring no funny shit around BADMAN,lets not forget who we are dealing with here,” he wrote.
After the lawsuit came to light, Diddy’s attorney issued a statement denying the claims made by Lil Rod in the lawsuit. “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 billion lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,” Shawn Holley said. “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines. We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
Giggs, a name that resonates with fans of UK hip hop and road rap, has made significant strides in the music industry since he began his professional journey in 2005. As of 2024, the rapper’s net worth is estimated to be a whopping $5.4 million, according to RappersMoney. But how did Giggs amass such wealth, and what factors contributed to his financial success? Let’s delve deeper into the life and career of this talented artist.
Born Nathaniel Thompson on the 11th of May 1983 in Peckham, London, Giggs, also known by his nickname “Hollowman,” has been a force to reckon with in the UK music scene. His unique blend of UK hip hop, road rap, and trap rap has earned him a dedicated fan base, not just in the UK but globally.

Giggs’ discography boasts of hits like “Lock Doh,” released in 2016, quickly became a fan favorite. This particular track garnered more than 19 million views on YouTube, showcasing the rapper’s immense popularity. Albums like Landlord (2016) and Wamp 2 Dem (2017) further solidified his position in the industry, contributing significantly to his net worth. Additionally, the rapper’s association with such companies as SN1 Records and Island Records has played a pivotal role in his financial ascent. These collaborations have ensured his music reaches a wider audience, increasing sales and streaming numbers.

To put Giggs’ net worth into perspective, it’s worth noting how he stacks up against his contemporaries. For instance, Krept & Konan have an estimated net worth of $3.2 million, while JME’s wealth is pegged at around $5 million. Another notable artist, Kano, reportedly has assets worth $3.5 million. These comparisons highlight Giggs’ impressive financial standing in UK hip hop.

Maino is a longtime underground rapper and personality from Brooklyn, New York. He is a pretty prolific artist at that. He has been around since the mid-2000s and has a handful of hits under his belt. While those days seem to be behind him, he is still delivering quality tracks and lyricism when he comes out with something new. Unfortunately, at least as for now, his latest single seems to only be on YouTube at the moment. Maino comes together with UK legend Giggs for the first time ever with “We Made it.”
For the Brooklyn native, this follows up his recent collaboration with recently released Cash Money rapper, B.G. He redid “For My City” titling it “New Orleans Remix.” He also has another previous single doing well for him with “Biggest Fan.” That is a team joint with M Dot Taylor and Jim Jones. For Giggs, he is coming off some solid success from his first record in three years, Zero Tolerance.
That tape got nods from 21 Savage, Dave, Diddy, Popcaan, Dave East, Jadakiss, and more. You can check out the accompanying visuals above for “We Made It.” The music video is nothing special but it definitely fits the casual but triumphant vibe of the record. Both are talking about making it to fame through all of the hardships.

Giggs’ journey from the streets of Peckham to becoming one of the UK’s most celebrated rappers is inspirational. His dedication to his craft, strategic collaborations, and a keen business sense have led to his current net worth of $5.4 million. As fans eagerly await more music from the rapper, it’s safe to say that Giggs’ financial trajectory is upward.
UK rap legend Giggs is back for his eighth studio album, Zero Tolerance. This comes off the heels of his last release almost three years ago being Now Or Never. The man has been making classics over the course of his whole career and rappers from the states are always trying to work alongside the SN1 (Spare No One) rap crew leader. Some of the biggest names in the rap genre have been blessed to hop on a track with Giggs.
For example, Drake famously nabbed two features from him on his 2017 playlist, More Life. “KMT” and “No Long Talk” were some of the heavy-hitting bangers on that tracklist even to this day. Drake did his best to respect the UK rap culture by changing the inflection in his voice to sound like a Brit, and it was met with some backlash and some love. Unfortunately, no collaborations between them made it onto this tracklist, but there is some heat here for sure.
Giggs’ 18-track album has plenty of quality, in part to some of the features. Diddy joined him for the lead single to this project on “Mandem.” Furthermore, he grabbed 21 Savage for “By Chance” which is a great combination. Giggs also uses 21 in an indirect way as well. On the opening and title track, he also samples the same song by Azoto called “Rainfall.” That song was flipped by Metro Boomin and 21 on their song “Umbrella” from HEROES & VILLAINS.
What are your thoughts on this new album, Zero Tolerance, from Giggs? Was it worth the three-year wait for you? Is Giggs a top-tier UK rapper? What is your favorite song of his or from this project? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to let us know all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, be sure to keep it locked with HNHH for all the hottest album releases and breaking news around the music world.
Since delivering a strong contender for Song of the Summer in the form of “Act Bad” with the City Girls, Diddy has been mostly focusing his efforts on promoting that. This New Music Friday (August 4), however, he has a new track to share with the world – “Mandem.” The song finds Puff connecting with UK artist and his longtime friend, Giggs, and is set to appear on the latter’s upcoming Zero Tolerance album.
As Hypebeast notes, the LP has a release date of August 18. It will also mark the 15-year anniversary of Giggs’ debut project, Walk In Da Park. Knowing this, it makes sense that the South London-based MC opted to rap over rugged, low-end production on “Mandem,” as a tribute to the earlier sounds he created for fans. “I never understand them, I hold my hands out and they disrespect my hands them / Even disrespect my mandem / And use man, they brought us ’round these f**kin’ randoms,” the 40-year-old reflects amid his fast-paced rhymes.
Giggs Prepares for His Zero Tolerance Album with Diddy Collab
Besides honing his creative craft, Giggs has also been spending plenty of time outside this summer. He was spotted supporting renowned footballer Lionel Messi at his debut game for Inter Miami, where DJ Khaled was also hanging out. His “Mandem” collaborator was in the building as well. Months prior to that link-up, we saw Sean Combs proudly showing off some slang from over the pond that his foreign rapper friend taught him.
Check out the visual for Diddy and Giggs’ “Mandem” above, or add the song to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. Are you eager to hear the latter’s Zero Tolerance album? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
I never understand them, I hold my hands out and they disrespect my hands them Even disrespect my mandem And use man, they brought us ’round these f**kin’ randoms Upheld it
Westside Gunn has been teasing the release of a new album all year. The prolific Griselda rapper released three new projects in 2022. The last of which was 10 which was supposed to serve as the finale of his Hitler Wears Hermes mixtape series. That may not actually be the case as Gunn has teased a potential next project in the series. He’s also teased a new album called And Then You Pray For Me which is supposed to come out soon. The project is reportedly a sequel to fan-favorite album Pray For Paris so Gunn’s fans have been digging for any new information about it.
Now, Westside Gunn’s new Instagram post is getting fans’ attention. The picture shows Gunn posing with UK rapper Giggs. Likely knowing that fans were going to suspect new music was coming, Gunn took to the caption. “When I’m London I’m with the Men$ that Run the End$!!!! Super Shoutout to the family GIGGS. 8. Disgusting ft GIGGS prod by @shanarason,” the caption reads. While Gunn didn’t reveal any more details about when the album may actually be released, but now fans can expect to see Giggs on it.
Westside Gunn’s label mate and frequent collaborator Conway The Machine has been busy this year. Conway has already released three different albums including his own project WON’T HE DO IT and a collaborative project with Jae Skeese. Just this week Conway dropped the new label album from his Drumwork imprint. The album featured 13 tracks, many of which are posse cuts between various Drumwork signees.
Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine linked up last month to promote both projects. Gunn shared a picture of the two together with a caption hyping up his forthcoming album. The picture was eventually deleted after the original release date of And Then You Pray For Me passed without the project releasing. What do you think of Westside Gunn and Giggs teaming up for a new song? Let us know in the comment section below.
