Drake & 21 Savage Drop Music Video For “Spin Bout U” Off “Her Loss”

by

Drake & 21 Savage just dropped the music video for their Her Loss cut, “Spin Bout U.” Moreover, it tells a pretty over-the-top but dangerously entertaining tale of excess, love, loss, and revenge. While 21 and Drizzy enjoy their time on a lavish cruise, they find a woman drowning next to them. After saving her, the 6 God tries to get cozy but she drugs and kidnaps both him and the Atlanta MC. Then, more women arrive to steal their jewelry, tattoo thing on their faces, trash their ship, and eventually burn the whole thing down. A bit before the video ends, they even steal Drake’s engagement ring necklace and execute him, while 21 jumps off the ship to try and escape.

Overall, it’s a pretty ridiculous but also tongue-in-cheek portrayal of toxic love, much like the collaborative album it lands on. Also, this track was an interesting choice for an MV with this theme because of the Canadian superstar’s infamous lines. While they’re peppered all over the tracklist, “Spin Bout U” has some interesting bars about women and relationships. One of them is “Damn, just turned on the news and seen that men who never got p***y in school are makin’ laws about what women can do.” Also there’s “Four words when I think about them is crusty, musty, dusty, rusty / Eight words when I think about us is f**k me, f**k me, f**k me, f**k me.”

Drake & 21 Savage’s “Spin Bout U” Music Video

Meanwhile, the Slaughter Gang head honcho drops some more simple, but still lovey-dovey lines, at least for their standards. “F**k your main page, what’s your Finsta? I wanna know the real you,” he raps alongside typical bars about body counts, material gifts, and, uh, intimacy. Regardless, “Spin Bout U” is a really entertaining video that feeds into criticisms of their perspectives while having fun with its extravagance. In fact, it makes one wonder why there aren’t more music videos from this album, but I guess the rollout’s not over yet.

Speaking of rollout, 21 and Drake recently settled their lawsuit from Condé Nast for their fake Vogue cover promotion for the album. While the company sought at least $4 million in damages, no specific settlement amount was revealed. Still, at least it’s another headache they don’t have to deal with as they continue celebrating their collaboration’s success. With all that in mind, here’s hoping that we get a sequel to this wild and campy narrative from this new visual. Check out the music video for “Spin Bout U” above and return to HNHH for the latest on 21 Savage and Drake.

Lil Yachty Reveals Origins Of Drake Friendship

by

Earlier this week, Lil Yachty caught up with journalists Brian “B.Dot” Miller and Elliot Wilson for Rap Radar’s latest episode. The Atlanta rapper and producer is fresh off the release of his January LP, Let’s Start Here, which friend Drake calls a certified “masterpiece.” He was even praised by Questlove for the experimental project. The Roots frontman was shocked by what he says is the “most surprising transition of any music career.” It seems Yachty’s efforts to be taken more seriously are paying off by the droves.

During the sit-down, the podcast was curious as to how Lil Boat and Drake came to grow so close. Yachty plays a huge hand on Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss, with production credits on four major tracks. When asked about the opportunity, the wock-star says even a studio session would’ve sufficed at the time. ”Man, I for a very long time wanted to just do anything involving music with him,” he tells Brian and Elliot. He remembers relaying this to the 6 lyricist: “I just want to soak it up and just see how you do it. I want to see you rap…”

Lil Yachty Details His Relationship With The 6 God

After proclaiming Drake the ”greatest rapper ever,” Lil Yachty detailed his cohort’s admiration for him from the start. “He always loved my beat selection[s],” he says. Yachty goes on to discuss how Drizzy would make it a standout point whenever he dropped new music. “And that’s crazy to hear from him, you know? Especially during a time when nobody was really f**king with me.”

In spite of him not having many connections when he first began, things have certainly panned out for the rapper over the years. Yachty’s developed sound is apparent on Her Loss-produced tracks such as “BackOutsideBoyz“ and “P*ssy & Millions.” He also had the opportunity to co-produce “Privileged Rappers” and “Jumbotron Sh*t Poppin” with OVO’s Noah “40” Shebib. If it wasn’t realized by the owl tattoo on his wrist, it’s safe to say the “Poland” rhymer has been officially stamped by the crew. Earlier today, Yachty and Drake were spotted together yet again, this time on a beach as they shared a snippet of their upcoming interview, out tomorrow.

Kodak Black Won’t Collab With Drake Because Released “Her Loss” With 21 Savage

by

They have collaborated in the past and regularly praise one another’s efforts, but Kodak Black has a bone to pick with Drake. The Florida rapper isn’t afraid of sharing his thoughts on social media, which was the case during a recent Livestream. In a clip, Kodak shares a screen with someone who tells him that they’re waiting on a new collaboration with Drake. It isn’t something that will materialize soon, suggests Kodak, because of a joint project that has yet to materialize.

“I had told Drake I don’t wanna do no collab,” said Kodak. “No songs or no album. ‘Cause we supposed to done did a whole album before him a lil’ buddy.” This was seemingly a reference to Drake and 21 Savage’s hit album, Her Loss. “Before him and lil’ buddy did that sh*t. I had told him I wanted to wait [until] like, 2023. Like, after February.”

A joint project isn’t that far-fetched, considering Kodak suggested an album was on the horizon last summer. “Me and Drake, we got some more music,” he said at the time. “It’s really on like whenever bruh might feel like he ready and stuff. They be like, ‘Is we gon’ drop the album? We gon’ do this?’ It’s really on him. We got a lot of songs, though.”

In 2020, Kodak even commented under one of Drake’s social media posts about partnering on a record. “I Am Your Biggest Fan Sir. … If We Can’t Do A Whole Album Together, I Never Want To Do A Song With You Sir.” Drake, in turn, further teased the collaboration after “Haitian Boy Kodak” arrived. “Man you always give me that inspiration…Real POET…Oracle. … Man let’s do some music for sure. But for real you really on another level.”

Drake Showers Kodak With Praise

Fans aren’t so sure that Kodak and Drizzy won’t collide in the studio once again. As formerly mentioned, they’ve publicly praised one another’s work and found success in previous collaborations. When Kodak went on Livestream in January 2022, fans quickly noted “Champagne Papi” was in the comment section. “You really all that for this generation and the next one if we being honest,” he wrote.

Drake & 21 Savage Settle With Vogue Over Fake Magazine Lawsuit

21 Savage Backs Drake's 'Her Loss' Lyrics: 'I'm Behind Him'

During Drake and 21 Savage’s rollout for their 2022 album Her Loss, the two decided to print out fake Vogue magazines with themselves on the cover and throughout the entire book. They even decided to sell the magazine, with many people even believing that the two actually graced the cover of Vogue. While this marketing strategy was warmly received by the two’s fans, people at Vogue thought otherwise and decided to sue the duo.

Vogue had initially asked Drake and 21 to pay $4 million to use the fake cover, and in a recent update, the duo and the highly coveted magazine company have settled the lawsuit.

According to TMZ, the lawyers for Drake and 21 met with Vogue’s parent company Condé Nast and were able to settle out of court for an undisclosed amount. As a part of the settlement, the parent company also received an injunction to prevent the commercial use of Vogue’s trademarks.

The parent company’s attorney said that the payment from Drake and 21 will “bolster our ongoing creative output, including Vogue editorial.”

Vogue was the only company to come after Drake and 21, who also made a fake Howard Stern interview and fake Saturday Night Live performance, with Michael B. Jordan introducing them, as marketing for their album.

Drake And 21 Savage Have Reportedly Settled Their Lawsuit With ‘Vogue’ Following Their Controversial Album Campaign

Drake and 21 Savage‘s promotional campaign for their 2022 collaborative album Her Loss was effective in making it one of the most talked-about albums of last year. Though, not everyone was a fan. Back in November, shortly after the release of Her Loss, Vogue sued the duo for using fake covers of the magazine to promote the album.

Today (February 16), Semafor is reporting that the rappers and the magazine have settled the lawsuit.

Drake and 21 Savage have reportedly agreed to pay magazine publisher Condé Nast as part of the settlement.

Despite the controversies attached to the album, 21 only speaks fondly of the creative process and the reception. In an interview with Complex, he revealed that he felt Her Loss helped satisfy his current fan base, while also helping him gain more fans.

“I think it put me on a broader scale,” 21 said. “It leveled me up for sure, it made me hotter for sure. But I also think that comes from me not having any music out. It’s just been straight features for two years before that sh*t happened. I think [my fans] wanted me to drop, so whatever I dropped was going to do that. People were ready to hear me rap, so I think that’s what I got from it too, it fed my fans.”
