Blueface’s Mom Goes Scorched Earth After Rapper Disowns Her

by

Blueface is currently going through a lot. Overall, his relationship with Chrisean Rock is always going through some form of turmoil. However, he seems to be doing a good job of navigating everything. Moreover, he has warmed up to the idea of having a child with Chrisean, which is definitely good to see. Although, his relationship with his mother, Karissa Saffold, is a different situation entirely. While speaking with RapTV, the rapper went so far as to disown his mom, claiming that she is very weird.

“Fuck that lady. I don’t have a mom,” Blueface explained. “She’s weird, she’s strange. I don’t know what her motive is, her angle. I don’t know what she’s trying to accomplish with her outreaches and whatever she does. I really don’t care for her. She’s not in my best interest so what can I do with that. [It doesn’t make me sad that she’s not involved.] Not at all. I feel much less stress, much less microscopic [without] somebody clocking me. ”

Saffold has been very vocal about Blueface in the past. Recently, she even commented on the side of his private parts, which certainly is in line with being “weird.” As for Blue’s most recent comments, Saffold was not feeling them. In a response, she went scorched earth at her son. “He said F his own son birthday and I’m strange,” Saffold wrote. “Boy I’m not even praying for you no more. Get someone else to do it. This ninja said F everyone but the people who leeching off him. You are the world’s biggest weirdo. When they done with you I pray you ask God for forgiveness.” Additionally, she claimed that Blueface doesn’t have a friend in the world and that she is officially washing her hands of him.

Overall, these are some very strong comments from a mother. Either way, it seems like Blueface is distancing himself because it is simply the healthiest option for himself. Let us know what you think of this latest drama, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

31 years ago today, Beastie Boys released their third studio album entitled Check Your Head released on Capitol Records.

This was a return to their punk rock roots after the few releases they had prior to this LP. They were back to playing their own instruments on this particular project, which gave it that organic feel they wanted. This was the album that made sure they would stick around and help them become a household name.

It was also the album that returned them Billboard’s Top 10 album chart, and most importantly it introduced them to a demographic that critics claimed was not listening to their sound anymore. “Check Your Head” only further cemented the Beastie Boys name in Hip Hop history!

Coi Leray Took Issue With Latto Rapping About Her Body On Her New Single, ‘Put It On Da Floor’

by

A few hours ago, Latto dropped a fresh single, “Put It On Da Floor.” To open the track’s second verse, she raps, “Smokin’ on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray.” Leray didn’t care for that.

After the song came out, Leray took to Twitter. She started with, “Let’s fight [grinning face with sweat emoji].” She continued, “Latto bye . [sleeping emoji] here you go taking about my body. Please do not come on here and talk about nobody BODY. Lol like seriously . Out of all things . Lmaooo ya blunt my size ? Lmaooo this sh*t is never ending.” Leray added, “These b*tches wanna be like the n****s so bad. Y’all wanna have rap beef SOOOOOO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD [crying laughing emojis] [grinning face with sweat emojis].” She continued, “Anybody that talk about my body wants MY BODY!!!!!!!!!!!! Like real badddddd.”

A couple house after the initial tweets, she added, “If you don’t like me , support me or fwm don’t mention my name. Period. Sh*t don’t make sense. I don’t know none of you b*tches in real life. Stay in y’all lane and leave me outta the bullsh*t. I be minding my business and showing real love offline.”

Latto hasn’t responded yet, but she did note, ““The content I’m about to roll out is a whole fresh new leaf. I genuinely love to see the new wave of female rap, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”

6ix9ine Displays His Singing Chops In New Snippet

by

If you know anything about 6ix9ine, it’s probably that he is hated by pretty well everyone in the hip-hop world. Overall, it is very easy to see why this would be the case. After all, he snitched on a whole bunch of people and landed them in jail for years. Moreover, upon leaving prison, he went on a nasty tirade in which he dissed people like King Von and Nipsey Hussle, after they had already passed away. Once these tactics stopped provoking people, he went away for a while and wasn’t heard from.

However, that all changed after he was jumped inside of an LA Fitness. It was an unfortunate incident for 6ix9ine, which ended up going mega-viral. Although, he seems to be making the best of it. In the last few weeks, he has dropped two new songs, including “WAPAE,” which seems to be doing huge numbers on YouTube and beyond. People love the Latin direction 6ix9ine has been going in, and soon, he will be dropping more new music. He has posted a plethora of snippets online, including the one below.

6ix9ine Is Having Fun

As you can hear up above, this track actually flexes the fact that 6ix9ine is a pretty decent singer. Whether or not there are a ton of vocal effects here, is up the engineer to divulge. Either way, it sounds like another Latin club smash that could very well become an arena song. Additionally, he will be working with Lenier again, who has a history with the rainbow-haired rapper. Furthermore, the rapper continues to tease the new contest for his music video. He is looking for a country to film in, and he is also looking for a video girl.

Whether or not this song will live up to the expectations of his fans, remains to be seen. Although the rap establishment has blacklisted him, there is no doubt that other genres are accepting his comeback for what it is. Whether or not this leads to any longevity, remains to be seen. Let us know what you think of this new direction, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Coi Leray Puts Latto On Blast For Body-Shaming Her

by

Coi Leray is steadily climbing the charts these days. Overall, she has reinvented her career thanks to working with EDM artists. For instance, David Guetta has been showing major love to Leray, and it has paid off. However, Leray seemingly still has her fair share of haters. In fact, some of this hate is even coming from her peers, at least so it seems. Last night, Latto dropped her new song “Put It On Da Floor.” Within the song, there were some bars about Coi Leray, that were certainly questionable.

“Smoking on that gas blunt big as Coi Leray/ Bitches like to run they mouth, but I’m the type to run a fade,” Latto raps on the new song. Subsequently, Coi caught wind of these bars, and immediately took to Twitter where she went in on the rapper. “Latto bye [sleeping face emoji] here you go taking about my body,” Coi Leray wrote. “Please do not come on here and talk about nobody BODY. Lol like seriously . Out of all things . Lmaooo ya blunt my size ? Lmaooo this shit is never ending. These bitches wanna be like the n-ggas so bad. Y’all wanna have rap beef SOOOOOO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD [crying face emojis] … LITTLE MISS PRESSURE.”

Coi Leray Addresses Latto

Overall, these were some very strong words from Leray. Many have commented on her figure in the past, which has always rubbed people the wrong way. Moreover, one can just imagine how Coi feels about it. Although, to have another artist do it, certainly felt persona. Leray even followed up her tweets with one more post in which she let her final thoughts on the matter be known. “If you don’t like me, support me or fwm don’t mention my name. Period,” she said. “Shit don’t make sense. I don’t know none of you bitches in real life. Stay in y’all lane and leave me outta the bullshit. I be minding my business and showing real love offline.”

Latto has yet to respond to Coi Leray and her Twitter tirade. Perhaps this is all just a complete misunderstanding. Regardless, Latto learned a valuable lesson about commenting on people and their bodies. Let us know whose side you are on in this situation, in the comments section below.
