Kehlani & Lucky Daye Team Up For Sleazy Ballad “When He’s Not There”

by

Kehlani and Lucky Daye are looking to weasel their way into some relationships hanging in the balance on “When He’s Not There”. This a brand-new single from the Oakland, California R&B/pop act and it’s here in rapid succession. It’s following up on their fourth studio album CRASH, perhaps the artist’s most ambitious and diverse tracklist to date. The project had soundscapes from the likes of R&B, pop, alternative, country, Afropop, and more. However, it seems that Kehlani is not done dropping albums, because “When He’s Not There” is kicking off roll out number two.

It’s leading the way for a sequel to her 2019, nine-song mixtape, While We Wait. If you need help remembering, it features the hit song with Ty Dolla $ign, “Nights Like This”. While We Wait 2 was essentially announced today and we already have a lot of details on it. It will feature a beefier set of songs with 14 and it will be out on Wednesday, August 28. Mid-week releases aren’t very common, but we can make an excuse for Kehlani. As we mentioned at the top, “When He’s Not There” is a pretty sly track, as both powerful singers try to play homewrecker when they can. This is now the second time them and Lucky Daye have collaborated.

Quotable Lyrics:

Does he sleep on your side of the bed while our memories play in your head?

I’m dive in half purgin’ when I’m ridin’ into your ocean

by

Meek Mill shared a video of himself listening to a freestyle he made over the beat to Drake’s diss track, “Family Matters,” on social media over the weekend. In the clip, he plays the track in a car while rapping along. Drake released the original version of the song, earlier this year, while feuding with Kendrick Lamar.

Fans had mixed responses to the freestyle on X (formerly Twitter). ”Literally copy’s anything Drake does, soon as Drake got braids he got them (don’t care if he had them years ago) also every single beat Drake raps on he has too rap on, he a fan,” one user argued. Another added: “It’s really astonishing how this man’s image flipped to ultimate goofy. I really can’t unsee it.” Others were more excited by the snippert. “This sound like Dreams & Nightmares Meek,” one fan remarked.

Meek’s flip of Drake’s “Family Matters” comes after he discussed his relationship with the Toronto rapper, last year. “Now we got to a space where we can text each other and say anything… We got that honesty where we can leave it on the table, and we can walk away, and feel good about that. And we ain’t have that before the beef,” he said on SiriusXM’s Hip Hop Nation. The two famously feuded back in 2015 but are clearly on much better terms nowadays.

Diddy Labels Lil Rod’s Claims “Pure Fiction” In New Motion

by

Diddy is fighting back against Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ bombshell lawsuit, in which he accuses the Bad Boy mogul of sexually harassing, drugging, and threatening him. NBC News obtained a motion from Diddy’s legal team on Monday, in which they argue to dismiss Jones’ case. His attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, originally filed the lawsuit back in February. They’re seeking damages amounting to $30 million.

The motion claims that Jones’ lawsuit is rampant with lies. “Running to nearly 100 pages, it includes countless tall tales, shameless celebrity namedrops, and irrelevant images,” it reads. Diddy’s lawyer Erica Wolff, added in a statement: “Mr. Jones’s lawsuit is pure fiction — a shameless attempt to create media hype and extract a quick settlement. There was no RICO conspiracy and Mr. Jones was not threatened, groomed, assaulted, or trafficked. We look forward to proving — in a court of law — that all of Mr. Jones’s claims are made-up and must be dismissed.” They further accused Jones of trying to “generate media hype and exploit it to extract a settlement.”

In response, Blackburn said that he hasn’t gotten a chance to read through the motion in its entirety, but reaffirmed his support for his client. “This is clearly a billing exercise by individuals who are late to the game and are attempting to fill their pockets before their client is indicted,” he said. Blackburn is also representing April Lampros, who is suing Diddy for four alleged instances of sexual assault. Diddy has already denied those claims as well.

The string of lawsuits against Diddy began last year, when Cassie accused him of rape, sex trafficking, and physical assault in a lawsuit of her own. The two quickly settled that case. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

The Game Changing His IG Profile Pic To Karrueche Spawns All Sorts Of Reactions From Fans

by

Karrueche Tran continues to make a lot of fans in the hip-hop world. By fans, we mean of her looks and overall personality. There are quite a few rappers/hip-hop adjacent artists that she’s drawn in. Current rivals Chris Brown and Quavo are perhaps the biggest names attached to the 36-year-old beauty. It appears that Karrueche is single at the moment, and that’s all The Game apparently needed to hear. According to The Shade Room, the California rapper appears to be publicly shooting his shot because his Instagram profile picture is of her.

What’s even wilder is the fact that itis a screenshot of her most recent post on the Gram. She uploaded a “Morning.” post to her profile with her displaying her messy bun. If this is catching you off guard, like it it has for a lot of people, The Game fawning over openly is nothing new, actually. According to HipHopDX, The Game spit a few bars about her on his 2016 track, “All Eyez”. “You want me to say your name, huh?
Karrueche!“. This track actually sparked some beef between him and Breezy, who was linked to Karrueche back then.

However, after all sorts of reactions and questions from fans, The Game is setting the record straight. He snuck into the confused and weirded out comments section of The Shade Room‘s post, saying, “That picture dope. & K is a fire person n the homie. Gone bout yall day. Yall gone be alright.” With that now out of the way, it seems its more of just fanboy moment than anything else.

What are your thoughts on The Game changing his Instagram profile picture to Karrueche? Do you think the California rapper is capping that there’s nothing going on between them? Do you think the actress and model will respond? Is this some weird behavior, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

T-Boz Shares A Health Update After Her Hospitalization Forced TLC To Cancel Shows At The Last Minute

TLC was supposed to perform at the New York State Fair in Syracuse on August 23. But, the duo didn’t end up making it, as T-Boz (real name Tionne Watkins) had been hospitalized for a health issue that turned out to be a severe abdominal blockage. A performance at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut set for that night was also canceled.

Now, T-Boz herself has spoken out.

In an Instagram post shared over the weekend, T-Boz wrote, “I’m on The Mend!!! This Was Just One Of Those Unexpected Things That I Had No Control Over! I Look Forward To Making It Up 2 You All… And Hopefully I’ll Get Out Of The Hospital Soon!!! As Soon As Tomorrow If All Goes Well!!! Thank You For Understanding… Blessings Always T [heart emoji].”

TLC’s original post announcing the cancellations explained the situation, saying in part, “After delivering an electrifying performance in Toledo, Ohio on Thursday, TLC was eagerly anticipating their next stop at the New York State Fair in Syracuse. However, shortly after arriving in Syracuse, Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins experienced sudden and severe nausea, vomiting, and intense abdominal cramps. She was immediately seen by a doctor and subsequently taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Last evening, Tionne was diagnosed with a severe abdominal blockage, necessitating the cancellation of both the Syracuse and Foxwoods performances. She remains in the hospital under medical supervision but is expected to be released tomorrow. The doctor verified that this was not food poisoning, but an abdominal blockage.”
