2 Chainz’s Son Halo Asks Latto About Ice Spice Beef To Hilarious Results

by

2 Chainz’s young son Halo recently “rizzed up” Latto and got her number, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe from his tough questions. Moreover, she was recently a guest on the father and son duo’s Me & Halo podcast, and the eight-year-old didn’t hold back in the interviewer’s seat. “Um, is it true you got beef with Ice Spice?” “Oh my God, here we go,” the Atlanta femcee remarked. “Halo, what in the world?!” his father asked incredulously, albeit with a smile on his face. Whether they scripted this for engagement or not, she gave a pretty diplomatic answer concerning this light rap feud.

“Let me tell you something, Halo,” Latto answered. “I don’t got a problem with nobody ’cause beef is a different thing, you feel me? That’s a whole different type of conversation. I ain’t got no beef with nobody, I don’t got a problem with nobody for real. *laughs* I ain’t got no problem with nobody for real, for real, it ain’t like that.” 2 Chainz joked about Halo being “messy” on a show about love and asked where he even got that information from. Check out the full episode and the full interaction about the alleged Ice Spice beef by clicking the “Via” link down below.

Well, it’s likely that Halo might have spotted Latto’s own words on Ice Spice. “If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like I’ma go tit for tat with,” she expressed in a recent Billboard interview when asked about the feud. “I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. It’s two different types of vibes. I don’t even think she gives me like, ‘Oh, she wants to engage in an actual rap beef.’ Everybody gon’ take their lil jabs in the music, and it’s not even that serious to me. I feel like you should do that. Continue to! But as far as actual whole diss records to each other, I don’t think she would even want to do that. Would it even make sense?”

Meanwhile, here’s what Ice Spice had to say about Latto during an interview of her own. “I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her ‘What’s the issue?’” she told Rolling Stone. “It’d be like a blank stare. It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me. I can understand a friendly competition. But I just feel like at this point it’s a joke that she’s just dragged out. And it’s just not even funny. Like, bro, ‘Think U the S**t’ is from January. You’re going to post a piece of s**t cake to announce something that’s good news for you? But it is kind of a compliment because you’re taking something that’s supposed to be a fun moment for you and you’re making it about me … again.”

Momma Dee Addresses Erica Dixon & Lil Scrappy Pregnancy Rumors

by

Fans have been spreading rumors of a potential reunion between Lil Scrappy and his ex Erica Dixon for months now. This was only compounded when Dixon announced that she was pregnant in a trailer for Love & Hip Hop Atlanta last month. Of course, this prompted speculation that the child was Scrappy’s. According to Dixon, however, she was simply joking with Momma Dee and isn’t pregnant at all. She clarified this shortly after the trailer was released, but it appears that not everyone got the memo.

During a recent Instagram Live, Momma Dee decided to clear things up once and for all. In a clip, she explains that Dixon was joking, but the trailer was simply cut to make it look like she was serious. She added that just seconds later, Dixon made it clear that it was all a prank.

Erica Dixon isn’t the only one of Scrappy’s exes sparking reunion rumors these days, however. Last month, he was spotted at a club alongside Bambi, which left social media users suspicious. It seems that they’re nothing more than co-parents at this point, though they’ve put conflicts of the past behind them. A few weeks ago, Bambi even showed her appreciation for Scrappy by sending him a bouquet and a heartfelt message.

“In my life that I’ve lived sacrificing for my family and my kids you never really hear or get gifts for being a good person, husband or father,” he captioned a clip of the flowers. “But yesterday I received these flowers on my front porch out of nowhere, and I seen a familiar name on it.” What do you think of Momma Dee shutting down rumors that Erica Dixon could be expecting a child with Lil Scrappy? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jay-Z Snags New Platinum Certifications For Some Of His Best Songs

by

Jay-Z’s plaques are as shiny as his luxury watches, and he’s got a couple more of those under his belt as of Friday (August 23). Moreover, the Recording Industry Association of America gave him some new platinum certifications for some of his biggest hits. However, only one of these Hov cuts was certified platinum for the first time in this instance, that being “I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me).” The other plaques here are additional multi-platinum certifications for some of his biggest hits ever that were already platinum, spanning from his early days all the way to his early-to-mid-2010s output.

Here’s the breakdown: “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)” went double platinum and “Holy Grail” featuring Justin Timberlake went six times platinum. “99 Problems” and “No Church In The Wild” with Kanye West and featuring Frank Ocean and The-Dream are now triple platinum, whereas “Run This Town” with Ye and Rihanna is now six times platinum as well. It’s certainly due cause for Jay-Z to celebrate these days even as his legal issues with Dame Dash’s Reasonable Doubt shares continue to develop, albeit in his favor.

Jay-Z’s New Platinum Plaques

“I don’t expect anyone, just some average person, to come buy it,” Dame Dash said of his shares in this classic Jay-Z album. “Or a third of it, my third. I don’t wanna get sued again. I know, for some reason, nobody wants me to sell it. But I’m ready to just move on, do my thing. I had a lawsuit, I had a judgement, and I’m like, ‘Yo, that’s 800 grand. Go get it from over there. They not paying me neither!’ So, they went and did the work for me [to pay] that debt and I’ll be able to sell it. It all worked out for me. I’m sure there’s a little twist they put on things. I don’t know why – I do know why, but I don’t know why. I don’t know why about one thing, but I do know why about the other.

“They had some bum-a** board meeting and all of a sudden he gets first right of refusal,” Dame Dash said of Jay-Z. “I don’t really care. It don’t slow nothing down for me. Now I don’t know how deep homie’s pockets is. I’m curious if he’s gonna match that. I put an offer on the table, lemme see if he’ll match it. But it was from other people.”

Drake And Playboi Carti Have ‘No Face’ For Their Stinging Bars, But Fans Believe The Song Is A Kendrick Lamar Diss

by

The summer is coming to a close, but Drake still has heat to deliver. Yesterday (August 23), the “Too Good” rapper seemingly woke up and chose violence.

Apparently, Drake’s 100 Gigs release was just a warm-up. When everyone least expected it, Drake dropped another previously unreleased collaboration, “No Face” featuring Playboi Carti.

Although Playboi Carti’s guest verses have proven to be a hit song’s secret sauce, he only appears across the track’s chorus. The verses are reserved for Drake, as he seemingly took aim at Kendrick Lamar once again. Back in May, Drake supposedly waved that white flag in heated battle. But, some rap beefs never die.

Drake subtly addressed his longtime foe, Metro Boomin, and possibly Mustard in the opening lines, as he rapped: “This is the sh*t that my daddy had raised me on / N****s got lit off the features I skated on / I gotta know, I gotta know / How you get lit off the n**** you hatin’ on? / Numbers untouchable, they got the data wrong.”

In the next verse, Drake turned his attention to musicians who jumped in to shade him during the height of his beef with Kendrick Lamar.

“Cause I keep on talkin’ ’bout beefin’ and business and money and women / It’s no diagnosis, they emptied the clip / Quick, swap that sh*t out, and I came back reloaded / I’m just so happy that n****s who envied and held that shit in got to finally show it / I’m over the / Moon, yeah, we’ll see you boys soon / I’m spreadin’ my wings, I hop out cocoon,” he rapped.

Listen to Drake’s song “No Face” featuring Playboi Carti above.

Kanye West Shows Off The Colossal Set List For His Show In South Korea

by

On Thursday, August 22, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign took a short trip to South Korea for one of their “Vultures Listening Experiences”. The latter announced it on his Instagram about a month prior to the release of VULTURES 2, the second it’s what’s sadly turning out to be an extremely mediocre trilogy. Even with that, West fans across the globe are going to make sure that they keep his and the record’s status afloat. As for now, this was the only chance to support them, as the Taiwan show scheduled for tomorrow was axed.

As per usual, Kanye West was causing a stir online, as he dedicated his Graduation hit “I Wonder” to Drake. Obviously, given their relationship is always in flux, and it currently being in an ugly state, fans were unsure on his motives. Some see it as a diss, as well, though. “This one’s for Drake, this one’s for Ian Connor,” Ye shouted to the crowd.

However, this wasn’t the only thing causing some sort of reaction. According to Uproxx, Kanye West posted to his recently reactivated Instagram account to share the behemoth of a set list that he put on. 54 songs were performed that night and it was basically a catalog wide affair. It featured some of his biggest hits of the past and present such as “Devil In A New Dress”, “Run This Town”, “Hurricane”, among others. Of course, there were tons of tracks from both VULTURES tapes as well. “GOD’S NOT FINISHED”, he captioned the post. With that, it sounds like he’s got more shows in the works, so stay tuned.

What are your thoughts on Kanye West nearly performing his entire catalog in South Korea? Is this the longest set list you have ever seen? How do you feel about him performing out that way? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kanye West.

The Joe Budden Podcast Credits Dipset With Putting Lil Wayne On, But Some Fans Disagree

by

As usual, The Joe Budden Podcast came through with a spicy take recently that got hip-hop fans into a strong debate. Moreover, the cohosts seemed to refer to how some Southern scenes, including Atlanta and others, only got popular due to New York co-signing them and letting them in on the fun. They brought up a couple of examples, such as Jeezy and Fabolous, but the most controversial point was that Dipset (also known as The Diplomats) were the ones who broke Lil Wayne into the rap game. However, Budden was quick to note that he has all the respect in the world for Atlanta, and seemed to acknowledge that this commentary is something that fans could easily mischaracterize.

Well, he wasn’t wrong… Or perhaps more accurately, folks still disagreed with the core of his and his cohosts’ actual argument. Debate quickly ensued in the replies, and went in all sorts of directions. But this is a sentiment that even Dipset themselves, namely its member Jim Jones, would definitely agree with. He claimed that Lil Wayne took inspiration from The Diplomats’ style after spending a summer with them.

But even though this debate around how Lil Wayne became a superstar brings regional debates into the fold, the core of his Cash Money family still rides behind him. “I been with him, that’s my dude,” Juvenile said while calling Weezy the best rapper of all time during his Breakfast Club interview alongside Mannie Fresh. “I saw the whole process of him, just seeing the whole development of Wayne and where he’s at right now.” It would be interesting to hear Tunechi’s take on all this, considering that he would definitely show love to both groups for very different reasons. Check out reactions to The Joe Budden Podcast‘s take down below.

Meanwhile, in other Lil Wayne news, he recently sought to dismiss an assault lawsuit against him from his former bodyguard. As for Dipset, their impact on the game should never meet disrespect, even if the specific details of its extent can cause debates like these. Perhaps the next episode of The Joe Budden Podcast will explain their take more clearly. But either way, Cash Money and The Diplomats have plenty of reason to admire each other.

Sean Kingston Sprints Out Of Court After Pleading Not Guilty To Fraud: Watch

by

Earlier this year, federal authorities raided Sean Kingston’s Florida home, resulting in the arrest of both him and his mother Janice Turner. In July, a Grand Jury indicted them on multiple federal charges. They each face one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five counts of wire fraud for allegedly scamming businesses out of over $1 million worth of goods.

Yesterday, they appeared in court for a federal arraignment, where they pleaded not guilty to their charges. They asked for a jury trial, and their attorney Bob Rosenblatt began the discovery process. Following the arraignment, the mother-son duo was spotted making a hasty exit. Kingston sprinted towards a black escalade while Turner flipped off ABC Local 10 reporters before getting into a separate vehicle.

Sean Kingston & His Mom Make Hasty Exit After Arraignment

Federal prosecutors allege that Kingston and Turner “unjustly enriched themselves by falsely representing that they had executed bank wire or other monetary payment transfers as payment for vehicles, jewelry, and other goods.” Reportedly, each count they’re facing could earn them a maximum sentence of 20 years. They’re facing six each, meaning potentially lengthy sentences for them both. Of course, what actually plays out in this case remains to be seen, and fans are hoping for the best.

Despite the circumstances, Sean Kingston and his attorney appear confident. “It’s great to be home!” the artist told fans following his release on a $100K bond in June. “A special thanks to God, my family, my friends and my legal team… Robert Rosenblatt, James Stark, Mark Geragos, Zeljka Bozanic, Pierre Pollas. And I cannot forget about my amazing fans, thank you for all your love and support! I love you guys!” What do you think of Sean Kingston and his mother pleading not guilty to federal fraud charges? What about the duo running out of the courthouse afterward to avoid reporters? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tony Yayo Addresses 50 Cent’s Controversial Decision To Spend 500K On Festival Security

by

50 Cent caused a stir with his Humor & Harmony Weekend Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana for various reasons. On the drama side of things, folks like Hurricane Chris criticized his decision to spend $500K on security, which Chris thinks could’ve instead benefitted a much more important or benevolent cause. But as Tony Yayo remarked on VladTV recently, this was just one of Fif’s many investments in the city to ensure a smooth-running and safe event. Ultimately, Yayo thinks that this investment was worth it, since celebrities and regular attendees alike could enjoy the shindig without worry. Also, he thought the team behind the festival executed everything seamlessly.

However, Hurricane Chris recently cleared the air around his critique of 50 Cent, explaining that his main issue is around the lack of local artists at the festival. “It’s no hate,” Chris said of his “culture vulture” take. “It’s all love, but I must voice my opinion because I been here, and I been in Shreveport.” Overall, he painted his words as “a big misunderstanding” and even expressed his will to collaborate with the G-Unit mogul one day if he’d be down.

Tony Yayo Talks About 50 Cent’s Shreveport Festival

“[Shreveport does] have artists,” Hurricane Chris remarked while thanking 50 Cent for contributing to his hometown. “A lot of artists, more artists that I can’t even name that would rock stages like that. It’s not about me. I definitely had no malice. It was just me wanting to see my community be respected… I was in one of those moods.” For what it’s worth, Fif didn’t take too kindly to Chris’ initial criticisms. “Oh no you not gonna play that one song you got,” he said mockingly on Instagram. “Bay Bay just went on stage wit Master P. Boy ya s**t is wack. Ya s**t gets no play in my ride.”

Meanwhile, Luenell also blasted 50 Cent (and he responded) over the Humor & Harmony Weekend Festival for only including male comedians. “I want to say that the game is still so misogynistic because I just heard about this Comedy Festival that my dear friend 50 is having right now… and there were several comedians on the plane, but not one female comic. Not one,” she stated in a recent interview. “How can you expect women, who buy a lot of tickets, to sit and listen to man after man after man after man after man? The assumption is that men are funnier than women… but that’s the assumption that’s been perpetrated.”
