In celebrating his new No. 1 single, Kanye West has a run of “fuck you” for his various enemies. Of those are Drake and Adidas.

In the lengthy Instagram caption, Ye wrote: “Rich Ty Carti and the supporters that stood by us through everything This number #1 is for you. It’s for the people who won’t be manipulated by the system and fuck adidas and everybody who works there or with them. Anyone who goes to school with anyone who’s parents work at adidas.”

Later on, he shot at Drake for bringing Lil Durk on tour: “And it’s fuck Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out.”

In response, Drake hit Instagram to fire off a response, letting a 50 Cent meme speak for him.

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Their collaborative, stadium-sounding anthem, “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, is the new No. 1 single.

“Carnival” now makes Ye the first rap artist to have a No. 1 in three decades (the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).

According to Luminate, “Carnival” secures the 1,165th No. 1 spot in the 65-year history of the Hot 100. It amassed 33.7 million streams (up 4%), garnered 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 85%), and sold 3,000 downloads (up 15%) during the tracking week of March 1-7.

With “Carnival,” Ye claims his fifth Hot 100 chart-topper, following hits like Katy Perry’s “E.T.” (featuring Ye), which spent five weeks at No. 1 starting in April 2011, among others. Ty Dolla $ign previously led the Hot 100 for a week in June 2018 as featured on Post Malone’s “Psycho.”

It is the first No. 1 record for Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Additionally, “Carnival” maintains its reign for a second week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, utilizing a similar multimetric methodology as the Hot 100.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” slips to No. 5 after two weeks at the Hot 100’s summit, although it continues its dominance atop the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a fourth consecutive week.

Jonathan Owens, NFL defensive back and husband of Simone Biles, is headed to the Chicago Bears.

Owens’s new deal is for two years and $4.5 million, following a season where he was ranked 73 out of 95 NFL safeties on Pro Football Focus.

Hitting Twitter, Biles celebrated the change.

“just wanted to say thank you packer nation for embracing my husband & I,” Biles wrote. “green bay will always hold a special place in our hearts!”

She returned with, “CHICAGO HERE HE COMES” and “also I just love the city of Chicago.”

Experience demonstrates that a team’s popularity often manifests in increased activity on its social media platforms. The analytical team at CasinoSpotfr observed a modest yet steady surge in interest towards the Chicago Bears among Instagram users. For instance, a month ago, the follower count on the account stood at 1,611,121, while today it has escalated to 1,618,871 followers. This marks an addition of nearly 8,000 new fans to the team, a commendable achievement within a month.

Mike Epps is known for his hilarious stand-up routines, but at one of his shows, the laughter was muffled by a disturbance in the crowd when a young woman had to be escorted out by security but not before she took a good ribbing from Epps.

Cell phone footage of the show reveals the woman yelling at Epps, “I’m not going nowhere.” When security approached the woman, she told them, “You got my $300? You got my $300? Well, get the f*** on with your gay a**.” 

Epps added a little laughter to the situation, telling the crowd, “She like Raven Symone; her little a** is feisty…I know you not about to f*ck my show up right here with your little ghetto a**.” 

When a man with her tried to step in, the comedian replied, “So what’s up n***a? Do something then. That n***a ain’t gone do s*** either. We’ll whoop the s*** out of that n***a right there. That’s the n***a you with? We’ll f*** him up.”

Earlier this week, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s “Carnival” rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Ye’s first chart-topper in over a decade. West decided to celebrate by dishing out a bunch of “f*ck you’s” in a social media post, with his most notable targets being Hailey Bieber, Adidas, and Drake. Regarding Drake, West wrote, “And it’s f*ck Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out.”

It appears this situation has left Drake confused, as what appears to be his response indicates. On his Instagram Story hours ago, Drake shared a classic video of 50 Cent, in which the “In Da Club” rapper says, “…said, ‘F*ck T.I., f*ck Nelly, and f*ck 50.’ I’m like, ‘What he say f*ck me for?’”

As HipHopDX notes, the original 50 video was posted in 2014 as his response to Floyd Mayweather dissing him, T.I., and Nelly. In the full clip, 50 says, “I woke up and I look at the computer and the computer said Floyd said, ‘F*ck T.I., f*ck Nelly, and f*ck 50.’ I’m like, ‘What he say f*ck me for?’ Nelly f*cked your first baby mama Melissa then took your f*ckin’ fiancé. Say f*ck that n****.”

Drake Looking To Get His Name Off Astroworld Lawsuit, Arguing He “Wasn’t Involved In Any Planning”

by

The hip-hop world suffered huge losses back in November of 2021. Of course, we are referring to when at least eight concertgoers lost their lives at the Astroworld Festival. It is crazy to think that it was nearly three years ago, and that night will never be truly forgotten. There is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding it, with families still looking for some answers. However, while Drake was certainly heartbroken, he also feels that his name should be removed from the Astroworld lawsuits.

AllHipHop reports that Drake’s legal team is arguing that his lack in planning makes him not liable. Their motion reads, “Mr. Graham did not receive any security briefings, was not informed of any crowd control issues, injuries or deaths in the crowd, or any stop show orders at any time either before or during his 14-minute performance.” Furthermore, they are saying that since he was “under oath” to not having any input on planning the event, there is no reason for Drake’s name to be tied up.

Drake and his team certainly have a compelling argument. All around this was a very poorly planned event, with security measures taking a backseat. It makes sense why Travis Scott, Live Nation, Scoremore, and Apple, are receiving the bulk of the lawsuits. Unfortunately, it may be a little while longer before anything truly happens. We continue to send our thoughts and condolences to the families who lost their kids that night.

What are your thoughts on Drake asking to be removed from the Astroworld lawsuit? Do you think he will get his wish, why or why not? Do you think he is the most innocent one that was a part of the tragedy? Will there be any justice for the families who lost the children? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake, Travis Scott. and the Astroworld tragedy. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of music.

Sexyy Red Wants A Cameo On This Popular TV Show

by

Sexyy Red has revealed her desire to make a TV cameo, recently tweeting out “How I get on Abbott Elementary?” The show, created by and starring Quinta Brunson, centers around a fictional underfunded Philadelphia elementary school. However, the show’s third season included an unexpected time jump after Brunson’s character left Abbott to accept an administrative role with the school district. It wouldn’t be the show’s first musical cameo. Season 3 also included a multi-episode arc centered on Vince Staples.

Furthermore, Red’s desire to land TV spots is in line with a career plan she shared with Billboard last year. “I’m going to just be getting richer, bigger, more trendier. I’m going to be everywhere. I’m going to be in it for the long haul, [but] not even on purpose, though. Even if I try to stop rapping, they’re going to take some sh-t, turn it into something, put me on the blogs, make it something it doesn’t even have to be, so Imma be here for a minute,” Red declared.

Sexyy Red Starts A Twitter Twerk Train, Teases New Music

Meanwhile, Red has also been utilizing her social media presence in other ways recently. In a series of posts in early March, she riled up her fans in a number of ways. First, Red began a “twerk thread”, encouraging fans to post their own twerking videos below hers. People responded ecstatically, quickly filling the replies with bouncing booty. However, Red also teased that she had new music on the way to get her musical 2024 underway.

Of course, Red twerking is nothing new. Last year, she joined the Penn State whiteout at Beaver Stadium. In a brief clip shared by Daily Loud, Red shakes her ass as the announcer hypes up the sold-out stadium. Adhering to the tradition of a whiteout game, Red had donned a white jacket and pants along with a blonde wig. While Red might be from St. Louis, it’s clear that she couldn’t resist hitting up the Nittany Lions for their annual event. With Red in attendance, Penn State shut out a hapless Iowa side 31-0.

Diddy’s Rape Accuser Was 16 At The Time Of Alleged Assault

by

Diddy is facing a sexual assault allegation from a woman who claims she was just 16 at the time. Liza Gardner, who originally accused the Bad Boy mogul and singer Aaron Hall of rape back in November as Jane Doe, has submitted an amendment complaint with further details including her age at the time.

In the lawsuit, she recalled Diddy and Hall being “very flirtatious and handsy” with her and a friend and offering them drinks at an event MCA Records was hosting. Afterward, they went to Hall’s apartment for an after-party. “While at Hall’s apartment, Liza Gardner was offered more drinks and was coerced into having sex with Combs,” the lawsuit says. “After Combs finished doing his business, Liza Gardner laid in bed, shocked and traumatized.” Eventually, she was trying to get dressed, and Hall allegedly “barged into the room, pinned her down, and forced Liza Gardner to have sex with him.” She says they also assaulted her friend.

Diddy Attends Pre-Grammy Gala With JAY-Z

Diddy’s spokesperson responded to the lawsuit at the time of the initial filing in a statement to NBC News: “The claims involving alleged misconduct against Mr. Combs from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute are all completely denied and rejected by him. He recognizes this as a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for accusers who will falsify the truth, without conscience or consequence, for financial benefit. The New York Legislature surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited for improper purposes. The public should be skeptical and not rush to accept these unsubstantiated allegations.”

Gardner’s lawsuit is just one of many Diddy is facing for various incidents of alleged sexual misconduct. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy and the legal cases he’s facing on HotNewHipHop.

Vice President Aaron Rodgers? One 2024 Candidate Might Make It A Reality

by

Robert F. Kennedy Jr has revealed that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on his shortlist of Vice President nominees. The controversial Democrat, and nephew of JFK, has launched an independent presidential bid after failing to mount a challenge against Joe Biden. Rodgers’ name is near the top of a list that also includes former Minnesota Governor, and WWE legend, Jesse Ventura. RFK Jr and Rodgers reportedly “speak frequently” and hold very similar anti-vaccine beliefs.

Of course, being nominated as a vice-presidential candidate could deal Rodgers’ return to the NFL. While Kennedy is a long-shot candidate, it would be expected that Rodgers would appear on the campaign trail. That might put him at odds with the Jets, who are expecting him to be QB1 come the fall. Rodgers has never spoken publicly about running for office. Jets owner Woody Johnson is a major donor for Donald Trump and previously served as Trump’s ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Aaron Rodgers Quietly Removed From The Pat McAfee Show

However, Rodgers has already cemented himself as something of a controversial character. Earlier this year, Rodgers was quietly removed from his weekly spot on The Pat McAfee Show. The news came after Rodgers pointedly refused to apologize to Jimmy Kimmel. Rodgers, who had implied that Kimmel did not want the list of people who had traveled to Jeffrey Epstein’s island to be made public, argued that he never actually made any specific assertions about Kimmel. Per The Athletic, the decision to remove Rodgers was made by McAfee and not mandated by ESPN.

After Rodgers’ initial comments, McAfee tried to clear the air between the long-time rivals. While discussing Rodgers’ claims about Jimmy Kimmel, McAfee said that Rodgers’ comments were “certainly probably just a sh-t talk joke” and that everyone involved should just move on. However, McAfee did note that he understood why Kimmel had reacted so heatedly. Kimmel took further aim at Rodgers this week, dedicating his January 8 monologue to roasting the sidelined quarterback.
