Let’s get ready to rumble! Joe Budden and Gillie Da King agreed to a celebrity boxing match. Budden visited Gillie and Wallo267 on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, where the two agreed to throw hands in the boxing ring.
“Let’s do a celebrity boxing match, me and you,” Gillie suggested.
Later Gillie stated the two could grab a co-headlining spot on the next Jake Paul card and tossed around various ways the fight could make money. Gillie Da King is very confident in getting the win.
“I’m gonna train, I’m gonna spar for months and I’m going to beat the f–cking leather off of you.”
Joe Budden and Gillie Da Kid are two of the most respected and well-known hip-hop media figures, and are both great rappers in their own right. However, for quite some time now, beef and bickering got in between them. For hip-hop’s 50th anniversary, though, it looks like the two and Gillie’s Million Dollaz Worth Of Game co-host Wallo267 are setting all that aside. In a new clip, they all teased an upcoming podcast episode where they will all sit down and talk about the game, their history, and probably a lot more. All in all, it’s quite exciting news not just for fans of this kind of content, but for people who want to see more beefs get squashed in rap music.
After all, it’s a phenomenon that social media has taken full advantage of through clout-chasing and how it boosts sales. In fact, it’s been a common trend for feuds to raise album sales and interest in artists for generations, so it’s not new by any means. For those unaware, Joe Budden and Gillie got into it over fame and wealth, Budden’s past, and their podcasts’ success and controversies. While there’s still a lot to discuss and correct there, it’s heartening to see that it’ll be a dialogue, not an argument.
Furthermore, Wallo spoke in the clip of the importance and weight behind this particular team-up. “This is what you look like when you’re two rappers and it’s over,” he remarked, still keeping up with their cheeky banter when Joe Budden pulled up to Gillie’s home. “We celebrating the 50th year of hip-hop, these is two ancient dinosaurs of hip-hop. This n***a made $3,700 his whole rap career. Joe probably made about $77,000.”
Meanwhile, given how outspoken Budden in particular has been about hip-hop’s 50th, we’re sure that’ll be an important part of the conversation. Media like this aims to analyze, assess, and contribute a compelling and entertaining view of the art form we love. Considering the sheer talent between the three of them, it’s amazing that their three heads will come together to make something special.

Over the weekend, Gillie Da King and Wallo267 hosted Gillie Fest for their Million Dollaz Worth of Game brand. The event follows the untimely passing of Gillie’s son, Cheese, who was killed in a shooting in Philadelphia.
During Gillie’s time on stage, Gillie shared a message to the fans and loved ones in attendance.
Gillie thanks everyone for all the love and condolences he’s received since the loss of his oldest son #GillieFest
Philadelphia’s rap royalty united to support Gillie Da King as he mourned the loss of his son. Wallo shared an image where Freeway, Meek Mill, and more pulled up on Gillie to offer their support in a trying time.
“Thank you everyone who came through these few days to show big cuzz love,” Wallo wrote. “The hugs, laughs, support means everything!”
According to ABC6-Philadelphia, area police are still investigating the death of Gillie’s son, 25-year-old Devin Spady, known as YNG Cheese. Spady was killed in a triple shooting. Spady was shot in the back in the 5800 block of Mascher Street in the Olney neighborhood. His funeral and viewing service as been set for The Met in Philadelphia.
The hip-hop world recently experienced a tragedy when Gillie Da Kid’s son YNG Cheese was tragically and fatally shot in Philadelphia. Not only that, but he was apparently the sole death in a triple shooting incident that occurred on Thursday, July 20. Moreover, there were no shortage of condolent messages and words of support from fans, friends, family, and industry figures alike. While these messages rang through the community and tried to reckon with this heartbreaking loss, Gillie had stayed silent on it until very recently. Via Instagram, he shared a pained, heartfelt, but thankful message to his loved ones honoring the memory of his son.
“I Miss u like $hit Dev,” Gillie Da Kid’s message began, captioning a picture of YNG Cheese. “My heart will forever have a Black hole in it but u know ur father gotta be strong to hold the family up. Thanks 4 all the support from family, friends, and all of my followers. Y’all really helping me get thru these ruff times. Me and my family appreciate and love y’all. Rest Well dev and watch over us u know I got chase. Love u Cheese.”
Furthermore, Gillie’s cohost Wallo267 also shared multiple tributes to YNG Cheese. “Lil cuz usually when I talk to you, I got a lot to tell you,” he wrote when the news broke. “Tonight the pain in my heart & tears spoke to you. I love you beyond life cheese. I got your father, rest well.” In addition, Charlamagne Tha God was one of many rap figures to mourn Gillie’s son’s loss. Others who shared messages of grief and support were Swizz Beatz, Maino, local rapper Mike Knox, Meek Mill, and more.
“What hurts so much about this situation is [what] Wallo and Gillie do for the community of Philadelphia,” Charlamagne remarked. “As much as they pour into these young brothers and try to stray them away from… killing each other and gang violence. To have his son be a victim of gun violence is tragic and a reminder that life is indeed not fair, in no way shape or form.” For more news and the latest updates on Gillie Da King, check back in with HNHH. Rest In Peace YNG Cheese.

If there’s one thing DJ Akademiks is always going to do, it’s speak his mind with confidence, regardless of how the world perceives it. Back in the spring, he took a lot of heat for publicly slandering Yung Miami, but as we move into summer, the media personality has some new targets who are feeling his wrath. During a recent live stream, Ak specifically called out Charlamagne, Gillie Da Kid, and Wallo for failing to reciprocate a guest appearance on his Off The Record podcast.
“This liquor gon’ get me talking some s**t I’ve never talked,” the embattled blogger told viewers after admitting he broke open a bottle of Casamigos shortly after 7 AM. “Wack 100 connected me with Gillie and Wallo,” he began, sharing that the duo expressed interest in recording an episode with him. Akademiks agreed and made an appearance on their show. However, seven months later, he’s still struggling to get them on his. Afterward, he moved on to slander Charlamagne’s similar behaviour before praising Joe Budden as someone he has a relationship full of mutual respect with.
According to the podcaster, the circle of those he trusts within the industry is small. Apart from Budden, others he considers as solid collaborators include DJ Vlad and Adam22. Elsewhere in the stream, Akademiks addressed Drake’s failure to reply to his request for free It’s All A Blur concert tickets, revealing that he spent an astounding $30K on tickets to see the Canadian lyricist later this summer.
While DJ Akademiks stays busy seemingly trying to ignite some drama with Charlamagne, The Breakfast Club host is pusy concerning himself with another ongoing feud. He recently shared his thoughts on the beef unfolding between Pusha T and Jim Jones, which became even more intense with the arrival of the latter’s diss track this past weekend. Read what Charlamagne had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
The sounds of New Orleans have permeated speakers across the world for decades. However, the rapper that’s carrying the torch for the city right now is Rob49. The NOLA-born rapper has been a frontrunner for the city over the past year but it was the release of 2022’s Vulture Island that built the anticipation for his trajectory. Co-signs from Birdman and features from Kevin Gates and Lil Baby helped put a spotlight on the budding star. With the release of 4GODII, he came to make a mark on the rap game and put on for his city.
As he comes off of the album’s release, he’s now gearing up for his upcoming Vulture Island weekend in New Orleans. The two-day festival begins today (Friday, June 16) and includes a concert and a celebrity basketball game. “I just wanted to give my fans a chance to see me, you know what I mean? They ain’t seen me perform in a while. So I just wanted to give them the chance to see me, you know, have a good time. I ain’t trying to break their pockets or nothing like that. I’m charging the least I can for tickets. I just want them to come f*ck with me,” he told HotNewHipHop.
Although there are a small fraction of rappers who have the potential to go pro, basketball remains one of hip-hop’s greatest past time. In recent years, NBA All-Star celebrity games have included artists like Quavo showing out on the court. For Rob49’s Vulture Island Weekend, he’s drafted a handful of his close friends and collaborators to join him. Rowdy Rebel, Anti Da Menace, Doodie Lo, and FCG Heem will play alongside Rob49 as part of the New Orleans Vultures. Meanwhile, G Herbo leads the opposing team, Choppa City, which includes Gillie Da King and Fredo Bang.
“They suck, man,” he said with a laugh ahead of the game. “We gon’ win though, for sure.” For Fredo Bang, this presents an excellent opportunity for him to get his lick back on the court. A video went viral several months back of Rob49 collecting a rumored $10,000 from the Baton Rouge native after a pickup game. “We beat him. Not out of $10,000, though but we beat him by a lot of money,” Rob49 said, although he did acknowledge that Fredo might return with a chip on his shoulder.

Despite the doubts he has for the opposing team, he feels as though Gillie Da King aka Damian Gillard has the potential to lead the game in a major way. Besides himself, he said that Gillie could very well leave the game as the MVP of this year’s Vulture Island weekend. “Yeah, I’m a fan of his game. He’s real good. Him and Ceedy Deuce got a chance [at MVP],” he said.
HNHH will keep you posted on the results of Vulture Island weekend. For the timebeing, check out Rob49’s latest album, 4GOD II.
On a recent episode of Gillie Da King and Wallo267’s Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast, the co-hosts interviewed 03 Greedo, who stated that he knew someone who started their grind in the rap game at the ripe old age of 42. Gillie was not apologetic in his belief that after a certain age, you passed your prime in this game.
Gillie said, “F***ing right there’s an age limit to rap. If you ain’t poppin’ by a certain age, let that s**t go.” Gillie even holds himself to this standard, as he stated, “Motherf***ers be like all the time, ‘Yo Gil, your platform crazy, this the perfect time drop something now.’ Shut the f**k up, man. F**k is you talking about? Do I look like a n***a that’s holding onto yesterday, n***a? Or do I look like a n***a that’s elevating? And escalating, n***a. And glowing and growing. What the f**k is wrong with you?”

The Philly native said, “I’m not no n***a that’s trying to live no throwback Thursday, man. If you ain’t got no traction at all by a certain age and you still doing this s**t… loser.”
On the latest episode of the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast, Gillie and Wallo hosted 03 Greedo. Moreover, the Watts rapper recently released his first project after his release from prison, titled Halfway There. However, their conversation sparked debate within the hip-hop community for other reasons, brought about by Greedo chastising an unknown person for wanting to start rapping at age 42. Furthermore, Gillie explained why there is an age limit in rap when it comes to how old you can be on the mic. According to Da King, there’s a certain point where you just have to give it up in a young man’s game.
“F***ing right there’s an age limit to rap,” Gillie began his argument. “If you ain’t poppin’ by a certain age, let that s**t go. Motherf***ers be like all the time, ‘Yo Gil, your platform crazy, this the perfect time drop something now.’ Shut the f**k up, man. F**k is you talking about? Do I look like a n***a that’s holding onto yesterday, n***a? Or do I look like a n***a that’s elevating? And escalating, n***a. And glowing and growing. What the f**k is wrong with you?
“‘Let me drop another debut album at 46,’” Gillie continued as 03 Greedo and Wallo listened. “Get the f**k out of here. That is not me. That is for n***as that can only rap. F**k all that. I got bigger and better s**t that I’m gon’ climb and try to climb and get to. I’m not no n***a that’s trying to live no throwback Thursday, man. If you ain’t got no traction at all by a certain age and you still doing this s**t… loser.”
Regardless of how you might feel about that debate, it’s always something tough to navigate. Furthermore, the divide between old heads and the new generation can often feel quite hostile. In addition, the rap game seems to be getting younger with each generation, although having teenage or even pre-teen rappers is nothing new. Still, it wasn’t the most contentious battle Gillie found himself in as of late, and though Wallo seemed to have something else to say, he listened patiently. Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on 03 Greedo and the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game hosts, as well as more debates in the hip-hop world.
Podcasting is becoming more of a force within the media industry than ever, and it seems like two renowned hosts are leading the charge. Moreover, Gillie and Wallo recently had Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy of The Breakfast Club on their podcast, Million Dollaz Worth Of Game. At one point in their conversation, the podcasters show the duo a supposed deal that they walked away from. After seeing the details, Charlamagne remarked how Gillie and Wallo are the highest-paid Black podcasters in the game right now. Given their wide outreach, vast knowledge, and that the duo are great conversationalists, it’s not hard to see why.
Furthermore, Gillie and Wallo often spark huge discussion in the hip-hop world with their profound, but sometimes criticized content. After all, the industry rewards ruffling feathers now more than ever. For example, the pair caught flack for letting J. Prince slam Offset during their interview with him. That feud saw a lot of attention online and, despite people’s qualms, they brought it to light in an impactful way through letting Prince speak his mind. Whether that was a beneficial choice in the long run of the culture remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, having Charlamange Tha God salute them on the achievement is an achievement in and of itself. Him and The Breakfast Club at large have been key leaders in the media for a long time, and he’s also one to innovate and adapt to the times his work brings about. In fact, the radio host just successfully launched The Black Effect Podcast Festival, which took place last Saturday (April 22). Throughout his vast career and experience, he recognized that such a medium champions conversation, much like radio does as well.
In a statement released by The Black Effect Podcast Network, they stated their mission of bringing “together the most talented and trusted voices in Black culture for critical conversations on social justice, pop culture, and more. In 2023, Black creators are at the forefront of a movement reverberating across today’s cultural landscape, and we’re excited to bring this to life for the community at The Black Effect Podcast Festival in Atlanta this spring. With this festival we want to inspire and uplift new and aspiring podcasters while also showcasing the incredible voices on The Black Effect Podcast Network.” For the latest news on Charlamagne Tha God and Gillie and Wallo, come back to HNHH.
