Giggs Seemingly Addresses Rumors That He Set Up Diddy With Male Lovers In London

February 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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.

Giggs Responds To Diddy Rumors

No one cant ever bring no funny shit around BADMAN,lets not forget who we are dealing with here.
Lets cut da crap!!!!

— GIGGS (@officialgiggs) February 27, 2024

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.”

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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 Has “Zero Tolerance” On His New Album

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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 Brings Out The Big Guns

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?

Giggs & Diddy Address The “Mandem” On Their New Single

August 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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.

Quotable Lyrics:

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 Poses With Giggs And Hints At New Song Together

July 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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.
