The Joe Budden Podcast Empathizes With Cardi B’s Alleged Infidelity To Offset While Pregnant

by

Cardi B and Offset have had a very rocky relationship, and it seems like things have never been as contentious between them as they are now. Moreover, they both accused each other of cheating, with the former Migo claiming that the Bronx femcee cheated while she was pregnant. Of course, this resulted in a lot of media reactions not just from fans, but from other publications and outlets in the hip-hop world. One of these was The Joe Budden Podcast. On their latest episode, the team debated the veracity of their claims against each other and the morality of the situation given previous scandals.

“[The] allegation that she let somebody hit while pregnant,” Joe Budden began. “And I do want to hear from Mel on some of this stuff, I do.” “Honestly, I don’t believe it,” Melyssa Ford posited. “I don’t believe it. Do I believe that there’s a possibility that there might have been some text exchanges that might be a little too colorful, and he’s made a huge assumption based on the texts? It’s quite possible, yes. But do I believe that she actually had sex with another man while she was pregnant? No, I don’t believe that for a single, solitary second. And also, I do believe that there is the potential that she allowed him to see those f***ing texts to let him think something as payback for all the bulls**t.”

The Joe Budden Podcast Speaks On Cardi B & Offset

“If she did [f**k while pregnant, would she be wrong?” Joe Budden asked her. Melyssa Ford said no. “How much public humiliation has she gone through during the entire course of their – not only relationship – their marriage?” she asked. “How much? Like, I know you guys don’t like this s**t. I know you guys think that you can get away – uh-uh! I know you guys think that you can get away with your behavior of cheating and cheating. And also, it’s like, ‘Oh, baby, please, let me come back,’ et cetera. And a woman is just supposed to allow that to happen.

“But the second that she steps out, and she’s just like, ‘Well, you’ve cheated on me with 50 b***hes, and I have a moment where I slipped,’ now it’s hell to f***ing pay,” Melyssa Ford argued. “‘Oh my God, you wh*re, you b***h, you this, you that.’ You guys cannot handle what the f**k you dish out. So if she, in fact, did do it… Oh f***ing well. Oh f***ing well. It’s all because of the groundwork you laid, motherf***er.” The Joe Budden Podcast mostly agreed with Melyssa Ford, positing that Offset also put himself through a lot of this humiliation by airing their issues out.

Al B Sure Sends Cease And Desist Over Allegedly Fake Kim Porter Memoir

by

It’s no secret that Al B Sure has issues with the memoir allegedly written by Kim Porter before her death. The book has been blowing up since its Amazon release this month, but he alleges that it’s “calculated fiction.” Earlier this week, he took to Instagram to share his take on Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice. Clearly, he’s not a fan.

“I am writing this post to formally request an investigation into an entire group of individuals who worked at or around the residence of Ms. Kimberly Porter including the publicists who assisted drafting this,” he wrote at the time. “It has come to my attention that these persons were also instructed to steal her computer and mobile devices, which contained her ‘original book notes.’ Original notes are distinct from the fabricated bullsh*t and offensive pages circulated via Amazon which depict graphic sexual acts involving me that NEVER took place and were edited and added after Ms. Porter’s tragic murder.”

Now, according to journalist Cheyenne Roundtree, he’s taken legal action. Reportedly, he’s sent cease and desist letters to both the author of the memoir and Amazon. Allegedly, he’s demanding that they stop the book’s sales. This latest development comes after Diddy’s children King Combs, Quincy Brown, Jessie James, and D’Lila Star shared a statement alleging that Porter did not write the book.

“Claims that our mother wrote a book are simply untrue,” the statement, shared earlier this week reads in part. “She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.” What do you think of Al B Sure sending a cease and desist to Amazon and the author of an allegedly fake Kim Porter memoir? Can you blame him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

The Kid LAROI Adds Gunna To Remix Of “BABY I’M BACK”

by

The Kid LAROI had fans waiting for his debut album, THE FIRST TIME, for quite a while. He acknowledged this fact with his fans on Instagram ahead of its release, thanking them for their unwavering support. “Thank you for sticking around this long and im sorry that sometimes it’s hard being a supporter of mine. I’ve had a lot of different experiences these past couple of years and life has been nothing short of insane… Extremely grateful that I get to share this stuff with you all. I wouldn’t be anything without y’all so thank you again. I love you all beyond words”. After getting this project, it’s safe to say that the Australian multi-talent is making up for lost time. He just dropped off the deluxe last month, and now, The Kid LAROI is back with another release with Gunna.

They are combining their crossover abilities to deliver a remix of “BABY I’M BACK”, an alternate version of one of the deluxe cuts. Not much changes structurally or instrumentally, outside of Gunna’s verse now being the second, with LAROI’s now being the third. If you haven’t heard the first “BABY I’M BACK”, the track samples Player’s classic soft rock track, “Baby Come Back”. Check out the rendition below.

“BABY I’M BACK (Remix)” – The Kid LAROI & Gunna

Quotable Lyrics:

You can gon’ and get used to my voice ’cause, baby, I’m back
Young Gunna Wunna, the people’s choice just accept the facts
We bump and grind ’cause shawty mine and she feel attached
I like it, I hope we don’t have a fatal attraction
Keep the camera holdin’ still, I’m backin’ in that action
Every day I wake up just to kill it, that ain’t no cappin’

KILLY Goes Back To The Basics With “LIFE I CHOSE”

by

We feel that KILLY operates at his highest level when he’s tackling dark and grand instrumentals. It feels like every time we discuss a new release, we bring up his K3 EP from last year. But we feel it’s necessary because it contains some of his most potent cuts. He was rapping over some truly haunting, almost gothic and alien-like trap beats with “Same Energy” and “Cut Em Off” being some prime examples. However, after that mini project, we felt that KILLY was sort of losing some steam. “LIFE I CHOSE” with Dom Corleo and “POP 2” with Fourfive came across as some of his more generic releases. Those cuts, along with “FR33ZING” and “REAPER”, land on the latest effort from KILLY, LIFE I CHOSE.

The latter duo we just mentioned were slight improvements, but nothing compared to some of the others on this 15-song tracklist. KILLY’s seventh project has a pretty strong start with “POISON”, which sounds like you are about to enter a war alongside him thanks to the epic horns laced into the beat. “AGILITY” keeps the momentum going with a glitchy melodic rap instrumental, which then transitions into a guitar riffing outro. Their may be some HARDSTONE PSYCHO inspiration on it, but it works still. As for the rest of LIFE I CHOSE, there are plenty more enjoyable moments like “HUH HUH”, “BLACK OPS”, and “GRAVITY”. It may not be consistent in terms of quality, but KILLY does sound confident overall, as we feel he’s back in the realm of rap where he can dominate at times.

Diddy’s Attorney Reveals Whether Or Not He’ll Take A Plea Deal

by

Now that federal officials have arrested Diddy – and after the court denied his bond twice – many wonder how the actual trial will develop. Some, like Katt Williams, think that he will snitch on many of his colleagues to catch a break, but there isn’t anything indicating that. Others are more inclined to believe that Sean Combs and his legal team will fight tooth and nail in court to advocate for his innocence, especially given their statements as of late. Well, thanks to the new TMZ documentary on Tubi, The Downfall Of Diddy: The Indictment, we have an idea of what his legal strategy is when it comes to cooperation.

During the documentary, TMZ Studios spoke to Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo. He said that the Bad Boy mogul will not take a plea deal in his case on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Agnifilo also remarked that he will fight this case in court not just for his individual situation, but for others who face similar obstacles. As for why the legal team will not accept a plea deal even if prosecutors offer it, he cited his client’s supposed innocence as the reason why they see no need for it.

In addition, Marc Agnifilo said that Diddy wants to inspire other people that federal officials are prosecuting and lead them to fight back against their perceived persecution. He also posited that the New York businessman is thinking of his family a lot, and wants to prove his alleged innocence and his sense of self to them. He wants to prove he’s still the same man they love deep down. These comments come after Agnifilo characterized the federal indictment against his client as a racially motivated attack against a successful Black man.

Meanwhile, an alleged sex worker’s supposed testimony in front of a federal grand jury could result in new charges and problems for Diddy. However, we still have yet to see what this could result in. Many open questions remain ahead of the trial, which doesn’t have a set timeline at press time. But a plea deal doesn’t look like a likely possibility.

Playboi Carti Laughs At Adin Ross After Streamer Gets Mocked By Hitta J3

by

Playboi Carti is really keeping fans on their toes. The rapper spent years in silence. He rarely posted on social media, and never, ever released music. All that has changed in the last month. Playboi Carti has dropped two (!) singles, including a collab with The Weeknd. He’s regularly promoting his album on IG and Twitter. And he’s even taking time out of his day to make fun of Kick streamer Adin Ross. Ross has been making headlines as of late for beefing with L.A. artists, and Carti decided to get in on the fun.

The Adin Ross vs. L.A. saga started on September 26. The streamer called out a Kendrick Lamar affiliate for claiming he wasn’t welcome on the West Coast due to his friendship with Drake. Ross proceeded to deny these claims, and threatened to sue the alleged affiliate. Ross also posted a video in which he said he would have security physically assault him. The tension boiled over the following day. Hitta J3, an L.A. rapper who claims to be a Kendrick Lamar affiliate, mocked Adin Ross via Instagram Stories. He brought up the incident in which Playboi Carti went on Ross’ stream, then left after six minutes and proceeded to dip with $2 million of the streamer’s money.

Playboi Carti Had An Infamous Appearance On A Ross Stream

“No wonder Carti didn’t take your podcast serious,” Hitta J3 wrote. “You n**gas be kids with some fame & let it get to yall head Adin.” It was a pretty devastating diss. Playboi Carti’s involvement only made it hit harder. The rapper decided to repost Hitta’s post on his own IG timeline and included a laughing emoji. It clearly struck him as funny that Ross is still getting made fun for an incident that happened in February. It is pretty obvious that Playboi Carti doesn’t have a lot of respect for Ross as a tastemaker.

The rapper has mostly stayed out of the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle, and while he didn’t tip his hand either way, this dig against Ross is the closest we’ve seen to him picking a side. Playboi Carti wasn’t the only artist who dissed Adin Ross on Friday. Smac TDE went online and claimed that he was annoyed by Ross’ tough talk. He claimed to have been a fan of the streamer in the past, but vowed to mace and attack Adin Ross’ security if he ever saw him in L.A.

NLE Choppa Drops A Moody Party Anthem With New Single “Gang Baby”

by

NLE Choppa is not a subtle emcee. He’s crass, aggressive and sexual in nearly all of his lyrics. It’s telling that his biggest single to date is called “SLUT ME OUT.” He knows what he wants, and he knows that his fans like hearing it. The rapper does offer some sonic switch ups, though, on his new album SLUT SZN. The subject matter is repetitive, sure, but the opening track, “Gang Baby,” is deceptively one of the most laid back and catchy songs NLE Choppa has put out in recent memory.

“Gang Baby” has an absolutely killer beat courtesy of producers BandPlay and Trgc. They provide NLE Choppa with something moodier and more ominous that he’s used to, but it works well. “Gang Baby” is slathered in push-and-pull synth lines that force the rapper to adjust his usual flow. He sounds a bit more slurred on the song, and his flow finds a catchy pocket within the beat. It helps, however, that the chorus is one of the catchiest on the entire album. “B-a-n-g baby, let me b-a-n-g baby,” NLE sings. “Let me f**k some. B-a-n-g baby, let me b-a-n-g baby. I’m in heat, come on.” “Gang Baby” really benefits from being the lead in song to “SLUT ME OUT 2” on the SLUT SZN album. It’s sonic whiplash, but both work for very different reasons.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
