LUCKI & KanKan Respond Harshly To Destroy Lonely’s Latest Diss Track

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Destroy Lonely is an artist who has been making strong waves on Playboi Carti’s OPIUM label. Overall, he has dropped some massive projects, and his fans adore him. However, over the past year, he has been wrapped up in controversies that have certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of fans. For instance, Lone recently came out and dissed LUCKI in a new snippet that was posted online. “Got my old b*tch so mad that I won’t f*ck her / I done surpassed my favorite rappers, guess I’m lucky,” he rapped.

There was also a shot at KanKan in there, which led to responses from both KanKan and LUCKI. Below, you can see that the two had similar insults, although they took different approaches to calling out the artist. “Y’all paint your nails and wear dresses sometimes. How you wanna be a street guy now?” LUCKI said while on Instagram Live. Meanwhile, KanKan went on an extended Twitter rant where he called Destroy Lonely a “cross-dresser.”

KanKan & Lucki Vs. Destroy Lonely

One has to wonder how Playboi Carti feels about all of this. After all, Destroy Lonely is his artist, and the man represents the OPIUM brand. Meanwhile, Carti is attempting to work on his album which was supposed to drop at some point this year. While there was a ton of hype for a release at the top of the year, we are now left waiting. Only time will tell whether or not the project gets scrapped or ends up shocking people at the last moment of the year.

Travis Scott Officially Releases Five Fan-Favorite Tracks For The “DAYS BEFORE RODEO” Deluxe

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

LET’S RAGE! Travis Scott fans can now finally listen to his 2014 mixtape, DAYS BEFORE RODEO. La Flame, at various points throughout the time in between now and the original release, had pondered doing this. However, at Fanatics Fest a few days ago, Scott went full send days after its 10-year anniversary. To pay homage to this point in his career, he even hosted a one-time show in Atlanta at The Masquerade with a strict 1,500 capacity to celebrate the rerelease. Fans who weren’t aware or around for this era of his are certainly in for a treat this weekend. However, we would argue that longtime supporters are eating even more so thanks to the DAYS BEFORE RODEO – DIGITAL DELUXE ALBUM.

Yes, in addition to getting the original 12-track set, Scott promised to polish up a “COUPLE DBR SONGS FROM THAT ERA FROM THE VAULT.” Well, he did that and then some, as there are actually five in total. They include “Mo City Flexologist”, “Too Many Chances”, “Yeah Yeah” (with Young Thug), “Serenade”, and “Whole Lots Changed”. As we said, die-hards are going to recognize these titles as they have been floating on Soundcloud, YouTube, and torrenting websites.

Unfortunately, some people were misled/confused because they are nowhere to be found on DSPs. To hear these songs, you have to head to travisscott.com and buy the DIGITAL DELUXE for $4.99. It is still available as we speak, so click the link here. You may also be able to hear them on the deluxe vinyl if you were a buyer of that as well. Overall, this is one heck of a time to be a Travis Scott fan, new or old.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott including these specific tracks on the DAYS BEFORE RODEO – DIGITAL DELUXE ALBUM? Are you going to purchase it now that you know it’s only available on his website? Do you think La Flame should have included other past recordings, or are these valid enough? 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 Travis Scott.

TMZ Apologizes After Beyonce Debunks DNC Performance Reports

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, there were tons of Beyonce DNC rumors floating around. Overall, it all started when someone at the event noted that there was going to be a very special guest. This subsequently led to speculation that it would either be Taylor Swift or Beyonce. Later in the day, TMZ came out and claimed that it was Beyonce who was set to perform. In fact, she would be performing the song “Freedom” which has become a rallying cry for the Kamala Harris campaign.

Unfortunately, for DNC-goers, the reports were simply untrue. Eventually, Beyonce’s team came out and said that she would not be performing and never had plans to. This was a disappointing update and proved to be one of the rare times in which TMZ was completely wrong about something. They had no choice but to apologize, and on Twitter, they decided to do so by referencing Beyonce herself. “To quote the great Beyonce: We gotta lay our cards down, down, down … we got this one wrong.” they wrote.

Beyonce DNC Report Gets Hit With Brutal Update

To quote the great Beyonce: We gotta lay our cards down, down, down … we got this one wrong.

— TMZ (@TMZ) August 23, 2024

It is hard to believe that a Beyonce performance would have swayed voters anyway. In a divided America, lines have mostly already been drawn between those who are Democrats and Republicans. However, it would have certainly turned the DNC into more of a celebration. Overall, Harris had a huge week with numerous endorsements and a speech that will definitely inspire her constituents. Only time will tell whether or not this helps her win the election.

Let us know how you feel about all of this, in the comments section down below. Did you expect Beyonce top be at the DNC? Were you disappointed that she didn’t attend? Did you catch Kamala Harris’ speech and if so, what did you think? 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.
