Meek Mill Theorizes That The Solar Eclipse Is Responsible For The Hate He’s Receiving Online

Meek Mill says that the hate he’s been receiving online might be the result of the recent solar eclipse that took place on April 8. While he couldn’t explain how the two are related, he noted that the backlash he’s been dealing with on the internet began ticking upwards shortly afterward. “The eclipse opened up the portal to everybody that was hating on you to be exposed!” he wrote on Twitter, over the weekend. “Black hatred level went up a few notches in 2024!”

In response, fans brought up the allegations made in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr.’s lawsuit against Diddy. A claim in the filing about Diddy allegedly having sexual relations with a rapper from Philadelphia prompted the rumors. “Nah bruh they not hating they just sayin u was smashin diddy,” one user replied. Another wrote: “Meek going to extreme levels to cope with the whole Diddy situation lol.”

In more posts the following day, Meek argued that the city of Philadelphia still has his back. He also complained about YouTube’s algorithm allegedly promoting hate against him. He wrote in a pair of tweets: “My city is fully behind me I prolly got a 1000 haters of 1.6 million people! Ima start my next tour Philly gone be in the first dates to display reality logic over internet influence I been doing it for years! They just come up with new bot tactics. If you type my name in on @YouTube  you only seeing spam of some fake stories or rumors they found away to hack people actually typing my name in easily… @youtubemusic can we get the stuff out the way of my music???”

TDE’s Punch Calls Out B.Dot For His “Hater” Take On SZA

It’s no secret that SZA is one of the most successful artists of the past few years, even recently securing multiple Grammy awards for her 2022 LP SOS. According to Brian “B.Dot” Miller, however, she’s not all that she’s cracked up to be. Earlier this week, the personality took to Twitter/X to weigh in on one of Spotify’s new billboards in NYC, which gives the St. Louis-born performer her flowers for her hit track “Snooze.”

“SZA’s ‘Snooze’ is the greatest R&B song of the streaming era,” the billboard reads. B.Dot’s not buying it, chiming in with one simple word. “Propaganda,” he wrote. Of course, the remark sparked a major debate in his own replies. While some users agreed and responded with their own favorite R&B tracks, others were quick to call him out for the apparent shade. Top Dawg Entertainment executive punch even decided to weigh in, making it clear that he disagrees and suggesting that B.Dot’s stance stems from a more personal issue.

B.Dot Calls SZA’s Success “Propaganda”

“You can’t be a hater your whole life champ,” he told the journalist. “You should rebrand. lol.” B.Dot didn’t waste any time clapping back. “Wait… Are you trying to get a rise out of me punch?” he asked, prompting Punch to reply with a series of laughing emojis. It’s fair to say that Punch could be a bit biased when it comes to SZA. After all, he is the songstress’s manager. With that being said, “Snooze” is pretty iconic, and was crowned the No. 1 R&B song of the streaming era by Spotify earlier this month. The platform put Frank Ocean’s “Pink + White” just behind the record-breaking single, praising SZA for her creativity and vocal abilities.

What do you think of Brian “B.Dot” Miller’s take on SZA’s success? Do you agree that it’s all “propaganda”? What about Punch’s reaction? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tyler The Creator Admits He Used To Hate Childish Gambino

Tyler The Creator was easily one of the standout sets at Coachella’s Weekend One this year, continuing to cement his status as one of the best live performers working today. Not only did he have an amazing stage set-up and theatrics, plus a really well-rounded setlist and consistently quality performances, but he invited a couple of his famous friends to help him out. Charlie Wilson sang as the Hawthorne native played piano, Kali Uchis came out to give a gorgeous rendition of their hit “See You Again,” and A$AP Rocky turned the crowd up with ease. However, the most surprising guest of the night was Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino. He came out to perform T’s IGOR gem “RUNNING OUT OF TIME” alongside him, and they seemed to have an absolute blast together.

The reason why this was so surprising is because they have relatively few link-ups in the past, and the former Odd Future creative explained that he wasn’t always a fan of Mr. Glover. “I used to hate that n***a,” Tyler, The Creator told the crowd after Childish Gambino left the stage. “Seriously. I don’t know why. I gotta go to therapy to figure it out. Then this n***a put this song called ‘Urn’ out. It was so undeniable, n***a. I was at conflict with myself, ’cause I’m like, ‘F**k! How could a n***a that I hate so much be so good?’ And now, the tables have turned and this n***a barely returns my calls.

“Donald, I f**k with you,” Tyler, The Creator continued for Donald Glover. “Thank you for putting out s**t that exceeds expectations or the perception that n***as like us should make. I love you. Thank you for existing and thank you for coming out. Please give him another round of applause.” For those unaware, their relationship has become more public and amicable over the past few years. Their Regular Show rap battle during the Cartoon Network program’s third season, though, premiered in 2011, which is before “Urn” dropped and thus before Tyler’s epiphany.

Nevertheless, the cover image above is from a 2019 LACMA gala, Glover seemed to mention the “SORRY NOT SORRY” MC during a recent Complex interview, and he also attended the Louis Vuitton designer’s event launching his collection this year. Obviously, a lot of fans are begging for music from them, and with a Gambino rollout commencing, we’ll see whether it manifests. For more news and the latest updates on Tyler, The Creator and Childish Gambino, keep checking in with HNHH.

DJ Akademiks Encourages Followers To Write Hateful Messages About Meek Mill To PA Governor

DJ Akademiks and Meek Mill have been constantly going at each other’s throats. Of course, the hate for one another was rekindled after the slew of Diddy lawsuits. Namely, the one where the Philadelphia rapper was a potential sexual partner with Diddy. Everyone has been roasting him for it, and AK has been a big proprietor of it all. Recently, the two have been verbally sparring on X as the MC sent some life-threatening messages at the media pundit.

Meek tweeted out, “Next time ima go live! But if something happen to me we hunting you til death!” This was a response to an Akademiks message where he called out his Philly roots. This recent exchange has led to a movement that AK is looking to get a massive following for. The troller asked his followers to write letters to the Pennsylvania governor to call out Meek Mill for being two-faced.

DJ Akademiks Is Doing Whatever He Can To Win This Meek Mill Beef

He attached a Rumble link where he streams, with a request to convince the governor of the Midwestern state of how “disgusting” Meek is. “Tonight my livestream will be all writing letters to the governor of Pennsylvania asking why he’s next to a disgusting lowlife thug like @meekmill while he threaten to kill civilians but proclaim he’s bout prison reform and ending violence.” This effort of vindication went down last night and as of now there is no word on how successful it went. More information on that should come, so be sure to stick around.

Usher & Russell Simmons Comments Bring Backlash For Latter’s Ex, Kimora Lee

Usher walked into 2024 feeling more confident than ever ahead of his iconic Super Bowl Halftime show, but this year hasn’t been all roses and rainbows for the R&B crooner. He did tie the knot to his long-time lover and remind us all how awesome his discography is over the past few weeks, but at the same time, Usher’s been catching strays regarding his sexuality for some time now. Discourse previously heated up amid Keke Palmer’s feud with her baby daddy, Darius Jackson, at which time the actress’ mother stated that her daughter wasn’t flirting with the “Yeah!” hitmaker as he was a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Usher himself didn’t address this gossip, but now that Kimora Lee Simmons seems to be insinuating that he and her ex-husband, Russell, might’ve been intimate, people are putting the Baby Phat creator on blast. After Rus shared a heartfelt message thanking the Texas native for supporting him during a low moment, KL was among those adding fuel to the fire in the comments. “Not ‘by my bed!!’ Lolol 😂😂,” she wrote on her story after seeing her co-parent’s post. “What is this I’m seeing in the news today?? Lol, y’all some wild boys frfr 🫣.”

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

So far, most IG users aren’t taking kindly to the model’s antics. “Slandering an unhealed person’s NAME while you keep their last name as your NAME is quite insidious,” one Instagram user chastised Kimora Lee under @theshaderoom’s post. “If I was her I’d keep real quiet when her husband Tim robbed $93,000,000 from Malaysian banks and faces 25 years in jail,” another called out the fashion icon’s new romantic partner.

Countless others have been rushing to Usher’s defense amid the drama. “This was unnecessary, and this is one of the reasons Black men don’t speak up. Regardless of their situation, he was acknowledging Usher as a friend/brother at one of his lowest points. #MentalHealthAwareness BLACK MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH IS EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT!” Keep scrolling to read more responses to KL’s shade, and check back in with HNHH later to catch up on music/pop culture news.

Lil Wayne Knows The Main Reason Why Drake Is Hated And It Is A Simple One: “He Light-skinned”

Lil Wayne and Drake’s friendship is one of the most wholesome in all of hip-hop. Their love and admiration for one another runs deep, especially after Weezy discovered him all those years ago. If the Louisiana legend never brought him on to Young Money, we would not have the number of classics we have today. You can argue, that besides Drizzy’s family, no one knows him more than Wayne. It may be the reason why Richard Sherman asked him various questions about the Canadian superstar.

Sherman, a former NFL cornerback, is a part of the new panel on FS1’s Undisputed and recently began hosting a podcast. The latter is the platform that these two got to talking about the For All The Dogs creator. According to HipHopDX, Sherman first praised Wayne for his keen eye for talent. The living legend said he gets him the boss. “I get that from my upbringing, from being around Birdman.”

Lil Wayne Did Not Hesitate With His Answer

Then, the host segued that into why the hate for Drake is so large. It is a good question because he is a pretty polarizing figure. Additionally, it comes at a opportune moment, especially after the situation surrounding Yasiin Bey and his recent comments toward Drizzy. You might think that Wayne would have had answered that echoed Bey’s “pop music” take. However, it is far from it. The hitmaker feels it is simple, “He light-skinned.” He explains with a personal experience, “That’s just American history. How I know is, because I’m not light-skinned. I hated on all light-skinned dudes in school. So yeah, it’s American history, man.” The conversation starts around the 16:15 mark.

What are your thoughts on Lil Wayne saying why Drake is hated? Do you think that is a legitimate reason, or is it deeper than that? If you dislike him what are your reasons why? Is he the most hated hip-hop artist ever, why or why not? Where do you have him all-time in your rankings? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lil Wayne and Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Joe Budden On Sexyy Red’s New Song “Free My N***a”: “I’m Off The Boat”

Even though Sexyy Red conquered 2023 with her hits, it seems like her latest one, “Free My N***a,” is even getting some fans off her side. Moreover, The Joe Budden Podcast recently discussed the release, and its titular host in particular was not a fan at all. Sure, it’s not like this crew absolutely loved her music before, but they liked it and had love for what she’s doing. However, we have to distinguish this disappointed reaction from the blind hatred that the St. Louis MC gets online no matter what she puts out there. Still, criticism is criticism, and the hosts debated on the longevity of her career and what her art centers around.

Furthermore, Joe Budden and his companions posited that it feels like someone forced Sexyy Red to make this record. To paraphrase them, say what you will about Hood Hottest Princess, but at least those songs on that album felt like they were hers. In comparison, they believe that the 25-year-old forced “Free My N***a,” and it didn’t come off as genuine or skilled as a result. Of course, this is just speculation at the end of the day, but it was a much more nuanced discussion than what sadly and typically plagues her Twitter mentions.

The Joe Budden Podcast Tears Into Sexyy Red’s “Free My N***a”: Watch

Elsewhere during their episode, The Joe Budden Podcast also discussed CyHi The Prynce’s new music video for “Mr. Put That S**t On.” In it, the rapper jokingly depicts this podcast, specifically and seemingly taking aim at Budden for their years-long beef. Before you get too quick to assume, there’s an explanation for this that CyHi offered. According to him, this was meant to show how media discussion and criticism impacts the creative process both ways, and wasn’t necessarily a dig at the Slaughterhouse affiliate.

Meanwhile, we know just how harsh Joe Budden can be when it comes to his critique of music. In fact, it was a surprise when this year’s biggest rival for the podcaster, Drake, dropped a new EP and he chose to not comment on it at all. Despite receiving disses on those tracks, it’s clear that– for the most part– the 43-year-old only speaks on things when he’s passionate about their importance. For more news on him and the latest updates on Sexyy Red, log back into HNHH.

DDG Reacts To Being Called A “Bum” Amid Halle Bailey Pregnancy Rumors

DDG is someone who is consistently being hit with a barrage of slander. Overall, a lot of it feels unwarranted. After all, he is mostly just a YouTuber turned rapper who doesn’t start beef with a lot of artists. Instead, it seems his biggest crime is being considered “corny” in the eyes of some fans. Either way, it has been a struggle at times for the rapper to get some legitimacy. His latest album was panned by critics, and a recent performance at Southern University received a tepid response.

Furthermore, DDG is currently dating Halle Bailey. Bailey just starred in The Little Mermaid and with a solo music career on the horizon, she couldn’t be more famous right now. That said, there are a lot of people out there who feel as though he is not good enough for her. Amid rumors that Bailey is pregnant, one fan went so far as to say that DDG is a “Bum.” Well, he has responded to those disses, and he is doing so in the best way possible.

DDG Gets Creative

In a series of tweets, DDG wrote “the way folks talk about me on here you’d think i killed somebody. i literally be chilling.” He then subsequently followed this up by saying “updated my bio to clear up confusion.” If you were to go to his bio right now, you would see that it simply reads “Rich Bum.” Needless to say, he is taking all of this in stride right now. Although some may see this response as “corny,” others think it is more than fair. After all, the hate train for DDG has been pretty brutal.

As for the Halle Bailey pregnancy rumors, those don’t seem to be dissipating. Only time will tell whether or not they are true. Let us know what you think of the rapper’s response, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed.

Drake Labels Himself A “Hate Survivor” In IG Post Showing Tour’s Success

As one of the biggest artists in the world, Drake is no stranger to haters in his life and career, and has surpassed all their expectations. Moreover, he briefly remarked on the amount of criticism thrown his way in his latest IG post. The Toronto MC recapped some wild snaps from his It’s All A Blur tour with 21 S*vage, including one with his recent special guest French Montana. “I am a Hate Survivor,” he declared in the post’s caption, and it’s fitting for such an opulent set of pictures. With all the success, conversation, and praise that Drizzy’s been drumming up as of late, the hate feels nonexistent.

However, anyone familiar with the OVO mogul’s career knows that the haters have always been there. From his early days fusing rap, R&B, and pop, many refused to take him seriously in the hip-hop game despite his high profile and co-signs. Further into Drake’s career, discussion often centers around his discography, which many fans believe took a big dip after 2016 or so. Either way, neither train will stop: the 36-year-old will keep dominating, and the haters will keep making their points.

Drake Is A “Hate Survivor,” He Claims

Still, a recent situation also shows how Drake often gets some backlash for his music, actions, or otherwise. For example, Halle Berry recently blasted him for not honoring her denial of his request to use a slimed-up picture of hers as promotional art for his new SZA-assisted single “Slime You Out.” Sure, the 6 God didn’t end up using that cover on streaming services, but it still spread around the media like wildfire. As such, it’s understandable that it still feels like an official cover for the actress, even if technicalities get in the way.

Meanwhile, with For All The Dogs soon to come, many fans hope that this will be a killer release that silences the doubters. It’s clear that he’s always in that zone regardless of what he’s putting out, whether from a commercial or artistic standpoint. What’s often left up to debate is whether he succeeds, and since he’s still one of the biggest artists in the world, it’s hard to deny that victory. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, log back into HNHH.

Latto Claps Back At Haters On Twitter

Recently, Latto had a response for one social media user who dissed her dance moves. The user had commented on a clip of the rapper getting down in the club to her hit, “Put It On Da Floor.” In the clip, she’s seen doing the “Slime” gesture, but unfortunately, the commenter misinterpreted it. Luckily, Latto doesn’t appear to have taken the diss to heart, instead choosing to laugh at it in her response.

“She keep doing that same lame a*s coke nose move [laughing emoji],” the commenter wrote. “Pack that sh*t up. She just starting to be corny to me . I use to to like her frfr .” Though the criticism was pretty harsh, Latto luckily found it amusing. She responded with several laughing emojis, adding “no way y’all think that means coke.

Recently, Latto also teamed up with Sexyy Red to drop a remix of Young Nudy’s track, “Peaches & Eggplants.” She and Sexyy starred in the explicit accompanying music video, and it definitely managed to get social media users talking. Many were quick to note how she appeared to diss Coi Leray’s father in her verse, with the lyrics “gimme that neck like Benzino.” She’s had her own issues in the past with Coi, and users thought it could have been meant as a jab at her.

Coi responded to the apparent diss on social media, writing “If you need to go viral, just mention my name. It works every time [kissing emojis]. enjoy !” She went on to share a text message conversation between her and her Benzino, in which he tells her Latto simply “admires” her. He added that he has the “most famous neck on earth.” Coi responded to her father’s encouragement, telling him, “I love how these lil stupid situations bring us together haha on positive note! Hope you having a good day I love you.” Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Latto.
