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

March 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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 .”

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”

January 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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.

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

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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

October 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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

September 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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.

Latto Claps Back At Haters On Twitter

September 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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.

Kid Cudi Speaks On Song That He Scrapped Because Fans Didn’t Like The Snippet At All

September 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When you’re an artist as big, creative, and adventurous as Kid Cudi, not all your songs and albums will hit for your entire audience. In fact, he has more than a few in his discography that fans straight up flamed, although some eventually realized their worth that they didn’t understand at the time. Still, sometimes you just swing and miss, but the Cleveland native isn’t ashamed of those misses at all. Moreover, he recently responded to a fan that asked whether people recall when he uploaded a song snippet on TikTok that got so clowned on that he took it down.

“Yes I do!!” Kid Cudi responded to the Twitter user’s question with a laughing emoji. “Im not ashamed of this, I still like the song actually, just wasnt what the people were lookin for. Its all good, when INSANO drops, we’ll see whats what.” Actually, it’s a bit unclear whether the Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven artist left the song in the dust or if he just deleted the snippet and still plans to release the song. Either way, it’s a calm, fair, and understanding way of responding to negative fan feedback.

Kid Cudi Reflects On Deleted Song Snippet

After all, this is the kind of positivity and playful attitude that Kid Cudi always embodies. For example, when he hopped on the McDonald’s Grimace shake trend and fans thought he was too old to tweet that it gave him “poopy pants,” his response was unfazed. “Soooo im suppose to like, lose my childlike spirit becuz im almost 40??” the 39-year-old tweeted. “Maybe thatll be ur sad fate my friend, but ima be a happy silly dude til im old and grey.

“I see people dont get my humor and thats ok but dont be an a**hole on here cuz im being myself,” he continued. “I dont care what anyone thinks, ima always be myself. My silly goofy self. And my friends and family love me for it. As u get older life sucks ur soul from u bit by bit and u lose that light u had inside when u were a kid. Ive always fought to preserve this spirit becuz I knew I didnt want to lose it.” On that note, stick around for more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi.

Young Thug’s Sister Believes Everyone In Atlanta Hates Him

June 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug has been a hot name in the rap game for pretty much a whole decade, although recent context is quite different. Between reception to his latest album BUSINESS IS BUSINESS and his ongoing RICO case connected to YSL, a lot of people are dishing out their hot takes on the rapper. Moreover, it seems like even his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia is turning on him- or at least, that’s what his sister Dolly White believes. Furthermore, she took to Twitter recently to express her assessment that everyone in the city “hates” him, which seems pretty obviously hyperbolic. After all, she threw in some crying-laughing and facepalm emojis, and there’s been no shortage of support for the trap innovator.

“I’m convinced every n***a in Atlanta HATE MY BROTHER,” White wrote on Twitter for unknown reasons. No matter what you thought of his new project, it’s hard to deny the monumental impact that Young Thug had on the Atlanta rap scene. Whether for his classic catalog (Barter 6, Slime Season 3, JEFFERY, and so on) or his eccentric vocalizations, lyrics, and style, he clearly made his dent in the game. That being said, the controversy around his legal case and his new album full of leaks and tracks in the vault is certainly divisive.

Dolly White Thinks Atlanta Isn’t Rocking With Young Thug

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

For example, many immediately compared BUSINESS IS BUSINESS to Gunna’s new album a Gift & a Curse, which came out just a week before. Of course, a lot of that conversation owed itself to their speculated beef, making it even more of an interesting debate. While some fans want to stay “loyal” to Thugger and not listen to the “snitch,” others doubt that narrative. Most importantly, fan consensus online seems to be that Thug’s protégé actually put out the better body of work in that week-long timespan.

Regardless, Dolly White has other things to worry about when it comes to her brother. Recently, she voiced frustration over Quando Rondo getting bond before him. “So quando got a bond on Rico charges but they won’t give Jeff one,” he tweeted. “Let alone found not one juror to start the process. The system failing us when they won’t Free Jeff already damn.” Sure, things may seem bleak, but whether for his music or in support of his freedom, a lot of people in Atlanta are still riding for Thugger. For more news and the latest updates on Young Thug, stay up to date on HNHH.

The Weeknd Keeps Responding To “The Idol” Hate On Twitter

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you haven’t heard it by now, The Weeknd’s HBO series “The Idol” proved to be a popular but divisive affair. While some fans just can’t stomach the subject matter and its depiction, others took shots at the acting and script quality in particular. The one who’s gotten the brunt of that criticism is Abel Tesfaye himself, particularly on social media sites like Twitter. However, he clearly wants to have a little fun as he lashes back at hate towards the show, whose fourth episode premieres this Sunday (June 25). Moreover, he kept responding to some online discussion of the show, and mockingly replied to one user in particular on Friday (June 23).

“Who has the thread or article on why the idol is bad pls i need it,” the user posted on Twitter. What’s more is that The Weeknd had to dig pretty deep to find this tweet in the first place, which only made people laugh at the idea of him searching “Idol bad” online even more. Nevertheless, the Canadian superstar took issue with people wanting to search popular opinions before coming to their own conclusions. “‘Someone hurry please tell me why I hate something everyone is telling me to hate… hurry before I come up with my own opinion,’” he responded.

In addition, he also retweeted some support of the show, highlighting as much negativity and positivity with his Internet presence. “The Idol ep. 3 reminds me of echoes of silence,” one fan wrote. “i feel like if you took that song and turned it into an episode that would be it. they do such an incredible job at the depiction of someone who’s been through trauma and wants a ‘thrill.’ 10/10 it’s incredible.” Another wrote, “Fr I saw on TikTok a girl that was like I am gonna watch the idol every week and keep y’all updated, girl just say you like it keep it moving.”

Meanwhile, another retweeted fan took note of how much attention the show is getting in the first place, indicating that people are more interested than they’d like to admit. “All these “i watched the idol so you don’t have to: review” videos like hmm sounds like u just wanted to watch the idol,” they expressed. Regardless, let us know what you think of “The Idol” so far and Abel’s responses down below. Also, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news surrounding The Weeknd and his many endeavors.

Blueface Reveals He “Hated” Chrisean Rock

April 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sometimes, couples go through a lot before finally deciding to get together. In fact, sometimes they don’t even like each other at first. Moreover, during a RapTV interview, Blueface revealed that he hated his girlfriend Chrisean Rock when he first signed her. The interview, which was published on Wednesday (April 19), actually gave some interesting insight into their relationship dynamics as well, with the California rapper saying that every man cheats. Despite that take, he actually went into quite the detail when explaining the origin story of his relationship.

“To be very honest with you, at very first, I hated her,” Blueface recalled about when he first met Chrisean Rock. “Not hated her, but I thought she was too raunchy, too weird. And then the raunchy weird stuff started being good for the camera, I guess, so it started to stick. And she had a great impact on The Blue Girls Club.” Of course, since then, the “Thotiana” MC saw the full extent of that raunchy weirdness, but also another side entirely. Even with all their ups and downs, they still enjoy each other’s company. Blueface has actually come around on soon becoming a parent with her.

Blueface Speaks To RapTV, Recalls Hating Chrisean Rock At First

“What it really was she had lost her tooth on the show and I just felt like super guilty about it,” Blueface continued. “I’m like, ‘Damn, I gotta change her life now because I felt like it was my fault.’ Ya know? I felt guilty. Before then, I had no intentions of managing anybody or signing any artists. Not relationship-wise but her being a star going bigger than big, I knew that was going to happen.” Also, he added that he didn’t think that him and Chrisean Rock would end up dating down the line.

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old is looking forward to his upcoming boxing match with TikTok star Ed Matthews. Interestingly enough, not much is known when it comes to how it came about, but a professional tussle is at least always fun to see. They had quite the heated back-and-forth online, and they let fans know of their preparedness to fight this Saturday (April 22). Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chrisean Rock and Blueface.
