Lupe Fiasco Trolls People Calling Him A Kendrick Lamar Hater

Lupe Fiasco continues to speak on his complicated assessment of Kendrick Lamar, which some fans see as jealousy and others see as just the legitimate truth. For those unaware, while the former has always given the latter respect, many think that he’s often been dismissive of his talents in comparison to his own. Some Drake haters, for example, can’t believe that the Chicago lyricist recently called him a better rapper than K.Dot. While responding to a particular tweet exchange on Wednesday (April 17) between two fans arguing about whether or not he was a hater, Lupe replied with a video of him and Kendrick onstage in 2012.

Basically, in the clip below, Lupe Fiasco gives Kendrick Lamar the “Next Best Thing” Award, part of a corporate partnership with other companies to give out accolades on Lupe’s behalf. It’s similar to other “passing of the torch” moments in the Compton creative’s history, such as inheriting the West Coast crown. What makes this moment particularly special is how these two MCs are such gifted lyrical talents, and how the “Next Best Thing” was clearly very inspired by the award’s deliverer. Since then, though, the Food & Liquor artist has made it very clear that while he likes Kendrick, he doesn’t think that he’s any better than him… in the lyrical sense.

Given the “Savior” spitter’s reverence in contemporary hip-hop circles, many saw Lupe Fiasco’s dismissals as just hating, but it’s the same kind of treatment that he would offer to any other rapper who thinks they stand a chance. Also, with his caption of this video, he made fun of the idea that he’s just hating on Kendrick Lamar just because, and while the jury will likely forever be out, perhaps people are interpreting competitiveness too sensitively. “I been hating on KDot since 2012…day one hater,” the 42-year-old captioned the award clip. “Big Hate…couldn’t wait till he came to Chicago so I could hate on him to his f***ing face!”

Meanwhile, he also recently denied ever apologizing for trying to diss Mr. Morale, and clarified that his apology was for speaking on his “Control” verse in the first place. This also wasn’t a diss, just a belief that it was overrated and could be better. What do you think about this approach to the competitive spirit, and do you think this holds any weight?

Iggy Azalea Hater Receives Brutal Clapback On Twitter

Iggy Azalea just dropped her single “Money Come” with an accompanying music video, and results are a bit mixed online. For the most part, her fans are happy to see her back in regular release mode, especially following a high-profile scandal due to her letter supporting Tory Lanez releasing online. However, that’s not to say that the Australian MC doesn’t have her fair share of haters online, too. Still, she’s never let them faze her, and she responded quite brutally to a particular Twitter user who hates that her newest song is seeing success. No matter what gets thrown her way, the 33-year-old will employ sass to defend herself.

“@IGGYAZALEA’s “Money Come” is now Top 50 on US Rhythmic Radio (Mediabase,” an original tweet read. That prompted Iggy Azalea to ask fans to keep requesting it on the airwaves. “Top 50? OH GIRL THE BAR IS IN HELL,” the hater in question replied. “You’d know,” the “Fancy” hitmaker clapped back. “You’ve been living down there your whole a** life. Typing away with sweaty hands and no grass to touch in sight. [shrugging emoji] [heart hands emoji].”

Iggy Azalea Claps Back At Twitter Hater

Fortunately for her, though, she’s been able to reflect on more positive experiences more than the negative ones. For example, Iggy Azalea recently recalled her concert in Brazil that, despite being subjected to heavy rainfall, was still an electric experience for her. “I look like a wet rat,” the Sydney native expressed on Twitter following her performance. “This was the most chaotic show I’ve ever done and probably my favorite. Don’t even care what I looked like or how wet we all were it was just fun and I hope I get to see you all again soon. Truly, I love you. Night.”

Meanwhile, it’ll be interesting to see whether this is the year that Iggy makes her massive comeback. While her profile in sheer artistic terms is not as high as what people criticize about her, she’s clearly on a path to set that record straight. With great performances behind the four-time Grammy nominee, she can certainly keep holding her own with compelling material and engagement.

Charleston White Spotted Getting Into Yet Another Public Altercation

Another day, another video of Charleston White beefing with some in public. While he wasn’t macing or stabbing anyone this time, the self-proclaimed Holocaust denier was still looking to start shit. The video in question appears to come from a boxing event that White was attending. “Shut your bitch ass up, n*gga,” White is seen yelling at an unknown target in the crowd. “Shut your bitch ass up,” he repeats. Someone in the arena can be heard yelling back at White, who responds, “Shut up n*gga, I don’t even fucking know you.” The video has since been removed from TikTok.

This is tame in comparison to White’s other recent public outings. However, it just goes to show that the man can’t go anywhere without starting something with someone. The reposted clip from DJ Akademiks likens White to 2Pac which, okay. Weird comparison and kind of an insult to Pac but whatever. Nothing appears to have come of the verbal altercation. However, if anything does arise, we’ll keep you updated here at HotNewHipHop.

Charleston White Goes Viral With Brittany Renner

Of course, jawing at someone at a boxing event isn’t the only reason people are talking about Charleston White. Earlier this week, footage of influencer Brittany Renner giving White a lap dance went viral on social media. The viral moment occurred during a podcast appearance on White’s show. Things came to an abrupt end when Renner poured water of the both of them and a producer had to step in to avoid the equipment getting damaged.

Things escalated when people unearthed an old clip of White discussing Renner. “We fucking like a motherfucker,” White said on a hypothetical in which Renner slid into his DMs. “Ima be doing what she doing. Ima show up with condoms with holes poked in ’em. Cause she playin’ dirty I’m playin’ dirty.” As always, White continues to be the most charming and eloquent personality who we have decided is worthy of our attention right now.

Nicki Minaj Pulls Out All The Receipts On Fan Hating On Her New Snippet

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 cannot come soon enough, and she’s probably going to be teasing it with a lot of excitement all the way until its November release. Moreover, the Queen recently teased a new snippet from an upcoming song on social media which had fans going wild. It’s a more pop-leaning cut with nice sung vocals and a smooth, easygoing beat behind them. However, it didn’t impress one fan who wrote “When rapping didn’t work they go for pop…” in response. Then, the Trinidadian MC pulled out all the receipts of her hip-hop prowess both now and across her legendary career.

“Red Ruby = highest debut for a solo female rap song in 2023,” Nicki Minaj clapped back at the fan. “Surprise drop released with no video, radio, playlisting, no SNIPPETS til night b4. SFG = still the last rap song to debut @ #1. Broke 25 year Spotify & billboard record. SFG = last rap song to GO #1. Barbie World= STILL top 10 for 4 weeks GLOBALLY (drill beat y’all laughed at). Princess Diana = charting on hot 100 for 16 weeks.

PINK FRIDAY 2 = your worst phkn nightmare. It makes me so happy to know the jealousy is oozing through your ugly bussy.”

Logic Says Joe Budden Is “Hurt, Smart” & “A F***ing Hater”

After a couple of months of silence, Logic finally responded to Joe Budden’s most recent takedown of him. Moreover, the Maryland spitter joined MSNBC‘s Ari Melber this week for an interview, during which they played a word association game. When Melber mentioned the rapper and podcaster, the “Lightsabers” MC called Budden “a hurt man, a very smart man and a f***ing hater” with a laugh. For those unaware, Joe trashed him for his smooth cover of Ice Cube’s classic track, “It Was A Good Day.” With that, he continued a tradition of hating on Logic that he’s been on for years.

“Logic, I beg of you, I’m pleading with you: please join me in retirement,” Joe Budden expressed on his podcast. “Never step near a recording device again! Throw your phone in the ocean! Be allergic to microphones! Promise your fans nothing! Don’t go to the studio ever again! You are the worst, yo! You are really, really bad! And then when we think he can’t get any worse, you have the bright idea of doing an Ice Cube flip.”

Logic Responds To Joe Budden Hating On His Ice Cube Cover

Of course, their “beef” goes way back to 2019, when Joe Budden told Logic that he should’ve retired much earlier when he announced as such. In fact, he even went back and forth with his former Slaughterhouse partner KXNG Crooked over whether he’s hating too much. Regardless, it seems like Logic isn’t really paying it too much attention. Back in 2020, he expressed that he doesn’t really have any ill will towards the Harlem-born MC. “I love Joe Budden,” he shared to Complex during an interview. “Joe Budden is my brother, he’s my older brother. And regardless if he hates me or not, we are part of the same family tree of hip-hop- the same roots of hip-hop. I’ve never met Joe Budden, I’ve never shaken Joe Budden’s hand, we’ve never had a conversation. He does not know me personally.”

“For the last few years, every time I do anything, it’s this guy telling me that I’m shit, that I’m not good enough,” he continued. “And when somebody says that all the time, you’re just like, ‘Damn. Really? What did I do to this guy?’ And then I also realized that Joe Budden was a damaged person- I’m a damaged person. I’ve gone through a lot of s**t. He’s got a lot of anger inside of him, and if I’m his punching bag, so be it. If I can help him in some way, cool. If him s***ting on me makes his day better, by all means. I wish he was nicer, I guess. But I’m not over here losing sleep. I really love this guy, and I wish him the best, and I just want him to be happy.” For more on Logic and Joe Budden, return to HNHH.

Jermaine Dupri Claps Back At Hater Calling Him Old

Jermaine Dupri just wanted to post a video with him and Usher in peace, but it seems that Instagram trolls won’t let him get away that easy. Moreover, a hater took to the comments section of his video to remark on his old age in a pretty blunt fashion. As far as what the video showed, it was a simple video of Jermaine walking along with Usher and a crew of people, presumably after one of the latter’s Las Vegas residency shows. “Jd like 65,” the troll wrote in the comments section. “He should be sleeping.”

Furthermore, the North Carolina artist replied to that comment in a similarly simple but sincere way. “65!!!” the “Money Ain’t A Thang” star retorted indignantly. “You got me f***ed up!” Not only is Dupri still active in the music game, but he just released a hotly anticipated project. His collab tape with Curren$y, For Motivational Use Only, Vol. 1, released earlier in April, boasting features from the likes of T.I. and 2 Chainz. As such, it’s understandable that JD would be pretty taken aback by people bringing up his age when he’s still on his grind. For the record, Jermaine Dupri is 50.

Jermaine Dupri Isn’t Here For The Hate

Regardless, Jermaine has bigger fish to fry when it comes to beef- or, at least, he had. Last year, he got into a heated dispute with Bow Wow over who deserves more credit in his career’s evolution. Eventually, things got pretty sour, with them going back and forth on social media and dragging each other’s name through the mud. However, Bow Wow recently explained how Nelly helped mend their feud and put the past behind them. Ultimately, it came down to both men, of different generations and priorities, coming to understand each other more as they both entered a reflective, veteran status in the game.

Meanwhile, that’s not the only piece of gossip that circled in the hip-hop world about Dupri recently. Yung Joc compared him to Diddy last March, stating that the latter is more talented when it comes to knowing what’s “hot.” Wherever you fall on that debate, a potential Verzuz battle between the two, which JD said is in development, would make for quite the matchup. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jermaine Dupri.
