Ja Morant Unfollows Childhood Friend Who Filmed Gun Video

by

Ja Morant went viral for pulling a gun out on Instagram Live on May 13. A day later, he had been suspended from all team activities by the Memphis Grizzlies. Morant had already served an eight-game suspension for pulling a gun out while streaming at a strip club in March. Despite Morant appearing truly repentant after the March incident, it didn’t appear to stop Morant from doing it again just two months later.

Despite an apology from Morant, the league’s punishment is expected to be harsh. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he was “shocked” by the footage. However, Silver revealed that he would not be announcing Silver’s punishment until the conclusion of the NBA Finals. However, Morant is expected to be suspended for double-digit games, maybe even as much as a full season suspension. Morant is set to start a five-year, $194 million contract next season. Away from the court, a large amount of concern for Morant has been raised. A cryptic Instagram post resulted in a police welfare check at Morant’s Tennessee residence. Furthermore, a recent statement from Stephen A. Smith voiced concern that Morant “wouldn’t be alive in 5 years.”

Ja Morant has been relatively quiet in recent weeks. Beyond his apology and cryptic Instagram post, the guard has been on radio silence. When speaking with police during the welfare check, Morant said he was simply taking a break from social media. However, he does appear to be making some moves on his socials, even if he isn’t posting.

Reportedly, Morant has unfollowed his childhood friend, Davonte Pack. Pack is the individual who was driving and filming Morant during the second gun-flashing incident. To Pack’s credit, he did attempt to turn the camera away from Morant when his gun became visible. However, if the unfollow is true, it appears that Morant is leveling some of the blame for the incident with Pack.

Cardi B Twerks While Eating Popeyes On IG Live, Rants About Wanting To Expose DMs

by

Since delivering a Grammy Award-winning debut project in 2017, Cardi B has been primarily focused on raising her two children and pursuing other endeavours outside of music. Just a few weeks ago, the former stripper promised that her sophomore effort will arrive later this year. Leading up to that, she’s given us one of her most impressive verses in a minute. This New Music Friday (June 2), Bardi teamed up with Latto for “Put It On The Floor Again,” a remix of the Atlanta-based baddie’s most recent single.

The accompanying visual boasts plenty of twerking from both artists and the black-haired beauty has been retweeting fans quoting the catchy lyrics on Twitter throughout the weekend so far. Elsewhere on social media, Cardi hopped on Instagram Live to throw it back while blasting the song. Rather than in her usual glam, the Hustlers actress was wearing a bonnet and casual clothing, eating some Popeyes chicken while entertaining nearly 50K fans.

Many were satisfied with her dancing antics, but far fewer were happy with Cardi’s now-deleted Twitter rant about the fake love she often receives. “These b*tches be wild p*ssy and insane… Act different on the timeline and play a role but suckin’ d*ck in the DM… I KNOW THE REAL Y’ALL,” she ranted. “Then be throwing light shade so if I press they be like… What you talking about?” her next post began.

“Cardi you crazy! No b*tch throw the tree so I can smoke your leaves 🍃. PUT THAT SH*T ON THE FLOOR,” the 30-year-old continued. “I really wanna expose these b*tches DMs ONE BY ONE!!!!!!” she finished off, though several expressed distaste in her decision to not reveal who she was talking about.

Fat Joe Provides Advice To Aspiring Rappers: “You Gotta Get A Job!”

by

Fat Joe gave some advice to aspiring rappers during a video posted to social media over the weekend. He says that artists who aren’t signed to a record contract, nor are financially stable yet, should be getting a regular job to supplement their income.

“If your man said he raps and he don’t have a deal. There’s a problem with that,” he told his audience on Instagram Live. “It’s called plan A, get a job. Plan B, hope you make it. This has never changed. Some guys be like, ‘I gotta get a regular job?’ Bro, you gotta get a job! If you got kids and you got this girl that got an apartment and y’all sexin’ it up every day, you got to pay some bills.” From there, he quoted Nas’ hit song, “Life’s A Bitch.” He remarked, “And that dollar and a dream — ‘That buck that bought the bottle could’ve struck the lotto.’ Nah!”

Fans weren’t entirely happy with the message Joe put forth. When the clip was posted to the Hip-Hop Wolf  Instagram account, one commented, “It’s too many people out here telling people how to live their lives.” Another wrote: “I bet Joe would have hated for someone to tell him that and crush his dreams when he was coming up. Smh! Then he brings the women into it to make matters worse Smh!”

Fat Joe’s Advice To Aspiring Rappers

Despite the advice from Joe, the legendary rapper previously called the major label system a “Ponzi scheme.” “I don’t believe in these people,” he said during an interview with Wall Street Journal, earlier this month. He added that major labels “do funny math.”

Kai Cenat And GloRilla Flirt On Live

by

Kai Cenat went live with GloRilla and was flirting pretty shamelessly. Kai is no stranger to chatting up rap superstars, though. Recently, the streamer returned from his brief Twitch ban. Interestingly enough, one of his biggest supporters during the ban was Nicki Minaj. After he was able to return, he publicly thanked Nicki for her support. “Auntie Nicki, I see what you said,” Kai said on a stream. “Nicki Minaj said, ‘Why would y’all do that to that boy? Why would y’all ban him?’ She said she gotta get all nice and cute to come on a stream, but Twitch, hold on! This is chess, not checkers. Should I give y’all a big stream like that?” Kai rightfully points out that bringing someone like Nicki onto a Twitch stream would be a huge deal. But, if they are going to ban him, is that something he should be offering to the platform?

Luckily Kai got to stream with Nicki eventually, although not on Twitch. A few weeks ago, the two went live together on Instagram. It made for a pretty interesting interaction, with Nicki asking the streamer to show off his bedroom moves. During the stream, Nicki asked the all-important question: “So how you be whinin’ in it?” Kai responded by moving his camera backward so the audience can see his whole body as he gyrated. It was all in good fun, though, as Nicki is married with a baby. his interaction with GloRilla, however, was a little more serious.

Kai Cenat Made GloRilla Blush

Kai Cenat may be the king of Twitch, but that doesn’t mean he’s above shooting his shot on live. The streamer went live with GloRilla recently, and the two seemed to have hit it off. In the clip posted by the No Jumper Instagram account above, the streamer asks the GloRilla if she has a man. She giggles and says that she doesn’t. Kai seems to express surprise at this, and she tells him that he made her blush. It’s an interesting interaction given GloRilla’s forward, tough rap persona. No word on whether or not she and Kai exchanged numbers.

Kai Cenat continues to have huge celebrities on his stream, whether in person or over video call. Given the frequency with which they tend to appear, it seems that it’s only a matter of time before Cenat has an official show of his own, a la Queen Radio. What do you think of Kai shooting his shot with GloRilla? Sound off in the comments below! Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news.

NYC rapper Scar Lip recently took to Instagram to respond to haters who wouldn’t stop asking about her scar. When asked during a Live, “What actually happened to your lip?” she responded, “What actually happened to that little tiny wee-wee of yours?” She continued, saying, “That’s nothing but a tiny wee-wee of yours. It’s like the n**gas with the tiny wee-wee’s you fall in love with them, right? or Nah, not really.”

Scar Lip shared the origin of her lip scar with XXL, revealing that it’s a result of being attacked by her brother. She began, saying, “It was a situation where I was going to a football game and my aunt was like you gotta come back at a certain time and I was like ‘alright whatever…’” “I came back before I was supposed to be in the house, and then my family is acting like they’re not home,” Scar Lip explained. “They cut off all the lights to make it seem like they wasn’t home. So I’m knocking on their door because mind you, I’m 16, I live with them I don’t got nowhere else to stay. So I’m knocking on the door waiting for them to open the door and that’s when my little sister came downstairs and she said, ‘Oh you can’t come in,’” she continued.

She revealed, “he started going crazy or whatever and then he punches me.” “I wake up and there’s like blood pouring all out of my mouth and stuff,” she recounted. She said she remembers, “just screaming, ‘Can somebody help me?’”

Employees Ask Boosie Badazz For ID: “I Cursed The Whole Store Out”

by

Boosie Badazz recently went off on Instagram Live because after visiting a store to buy cigars, employees insisted he show them an ID. He revealed that after the request he proceeded to curse out everyone in the store, including the janitor. After explaining that he went into the store without jewelry on, in just a “regular T-shirt, Boosie said that the employees carded him. “I cursed everybody out,” he said. “I cursed the lady behind the thing out, the man who was working at the store, and the janitor.” He went on say he asked an employee, “Bitch you don’t know who the f**k I am?” When she told him that she doesn’t know who is is, he went on to ask her, “Do you see what I’m driving?” Boosie then shared that he drove off in a huff, leaving “Smoke everywhere.”

Boosie Badazz went on another tangent on Instagram Live recently. Earlier this week, Boosie pulled through a McDonald’s drive-through during a Live, and went off about not receiving enough jelly packets. After claiming he was shorted on the jelly, he said he “[hates] when they act like that with the f***in jelly.” Much to his viewers’ amusement, he continued, telling them he “should go back.”

Boosie also recently shared some words of wisdom with his followers. He told fans on his Instagram, “Don’t ever become no gangster, bro. Always gotta have n***as with you, always gotta be trying to protect yourself, looking over your shoulder. S**t don’t even be worth it, bro. You get older you be like, ‘Damn, man.’ Lotta s**t come with this s**t.” He continued, reminding them, “It’s the only thing that matter, bruh, staying alive. This ain’t the life you want, though, dog. All y’all young n***as out there, this ain’t the life you want.”

Earlier this week, a clip of Boosie’s progress in building a neighborhood for friends and family in his backyard began to circulate the internet. The new neighborhood will reportedly have luxury apartments, a pool, a movie theater, a tennis court, and more.

Jalen Green Trolls Ja Morant On Instagram Live

by

Ja Morant has been the focal point of off-court NBA news in recent weeks. On May 14, Morant was suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies pending an NBA investigation. The day before, a video of Morant flashing a gun on Instagram Live had gone viral. It was the second time in 2023 that Morant had pulled such a stunt. In March, he had been suspended for eight games after flashing a gun on Instagram Live while at a Denver strip club.

Morant issued an apology that rang hollow with many fans. Furthermore, his apology was only released after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver publicly spoke about the video. On May 24, a cryptic post on Instagram from Morant prompted a police welfare check. The NBA is yet to announce a punishment for Morant. However, league insiders expect it to be lengthy.

Jalen Green took to Instagram Live on Wednesday, engaging with followers while driving and listening to NBA YoungBoy. The similarities to Morant’s infamous video were already apparent, but the YoungBoy, intentional or not, sold it for many fans. Morant is a massive YoungBoy fan, and has adopted the lyric “It’s a parade inside my city” as his unofficial motto. “Don’t flash no gun,” one follower said as another added, “Don’t pull a Ja and pull the gun out.”

“Everybody’s commenting, ‘Don’t pull no pistol out,’” Green told another person in the car. “They wildin’, my n***a, man. I don’t got no gun.” Green is one of the young stars on a slowly rebuilding Houston Rockets team. Skipping college for the G League, Green was drafted second overall in 2021. The Rockets currently hold the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft as they continue to try and return to contention in the NBA. However, the incident clearly shows that Green knows how to have a little bit of fun. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.

Boosie Badazz Triggered At McDonald’s Drive-Through: “Damn You Stingy With The Jelly!”

by

A recent clip of Boosie Badazz in the McDonald’s drive-through has been receiving some attention from fans. The funny clip begins with Boosie asking the employee if he had gotten jelly with his order. The McDonald’s employee responds, telling Boosie, “Yeah, it’s in the bag.” He then suspiciously rifles through the bag, sees the jelly, and eyeballs the employee through the window. Pulling away, he says, “Damn you stingy with the jelly!” Adding, “I hate when they act like that with the f***in jelly.” Boosie appears to get gradually more upset, claiming employees are, “Not getting no f***ckin raise to get no f***in jelly.”

Boosie looks down into his bag again, shouting, “two packs… I should go back!” He then angrily pulls out his sandwich, claiming he “told her four jelly.” Then Boosie goes on to express how he doesn’t understand why the employees “act like that with fu***in jelly,” when it’s not even their “f***in jelly.” As he begins to eat, the rapper continues to express his discontentment, saying, “f***in jelly, they got so much of that sh*t in there.”

Boosie Badazz Doesn’t Play About Jelly

Boosie’s tangent was met with the amusement of viewers, who commented along while the rapper went off about his jelly. One user commented, “They better stop playing wit Boosie.” As the comments erupted with laughing emojis, another user wrote that he, “shoulda went back.”

Last week, Boosie also shared his thoughts surrounding Tory Lanez’ charges in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case. He revealed that if he were Lanez, he would have taken a plea deal in exchange for less prison time. In his interview with VladTV, he said, “If he would have went in there and said he wanted to make a deal, [with] them lawyers he got, he could have been doing time in a facility with damn-near nobody around him.” He then shared his personal experience, saying, “I know a lot of people like that. They was offered 10 years and they didn’t take it. And they end up getting 30.” Boosie added, “I seen it all the time. When I was in [prison] they come in there like, ‘I ain’t doing no 15, mane.’ They end up getting big time. I would have tried to get five years.”

BlocBoy JB Defends Ja Morant

by

While a lot of people are commenting on Ja Morant’s most recent suspension after anything gun-flashing incident, few people are absolving him of any blame. However, BlocBoy JB broke that tendency and took to his Instagram Story to defend the Grizzlies player. According to the Memphis rapper, Morant should be free to enjoy his time away from the court however he pleases. In addition, he also brought up that guns themselves are not illegal and therefore shouldn’t be scrutinized as much as they have been in these cases. Whether you agree with JB or not, it’s becoming more clear by the day that he stands almost alone in his assessment.

“Guns are not illegal,” BlocBoy penned on the social media platform. “If he turnt in his car with his gun dats in his name in his yard and somebody recorded him dat ain’t on him. Free Ja.” Others in the NBA world and beyond, like Juan Toscano-Anderson, also pinned at least partial blame on Ja Morant’s inner circle. Of course, the “MURSIC” MC is far from the only figure in hip-hop to comment on this case.

BlocBoy JB Wants Ja Morant Freed

“That man is trying hard to go play [in] Turkey or China or Serbia-Montenegro,” Fat Joe chimed in. “He’s trying hard to get kicked out the NBA. And those guys that’s with you? They not your peoples, Ja. They don’t care. This is a problem we have with our community becoming famous because the people around you, they like the girls that’s watching, they love the lifestyle- but they’re not you. They didn’t dribble the basketball in the snow on Christmas trying to figure out the Kobe moves or the Jordan moves. They didn’t put in the work like you.”

While Snoop Dogg shared a lot of memes on the matter, others in the game took the issue more seriously on initial impact. Meanwhile, GloRilla recently responded to a meme of an old picture of her holding a gun that a user compared Ja Morant to. No matter how many more funny pictures or scolding takes emerge from this, his future remains unclear. Regardless, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on BlocBoy JB and Ja Morant.

Swizz Beatz Says Rick Ross Wants To Battle T.I. On “Verzuz”

by

Swizz Beatz says that Rick Ross is open to battling T.I. on an episode of Verzuz. The iconic producer revealed the potential matchup during a live stream on Instagram with Timbaland. He says that the battle would decide who is the “king of the south.”

“Rick Ross said he wanted T.I.,” Swizz Beatz began. “Rick Ross and Tip. Battle of the south. Crown of the south. King of the south.” He concluded: “T.I., talk to me. Ross you can fly your plane to the party.”

It isn’t the first time that the idea of pitting Rick Ross and T.I. against each other has been brought up. It’s an idea that Joe Budden previously suggested for the series. “I’m down for the person that we’ve seen already, that won… alright, next battle. Rick Ross versus T.I.,” Budden said last year. “And Ross [has] got more than 40 records that he could play with, so now [he’s] back with a different 20. Or ‘John’ in front of T.I. looks different than ‘John’ in front of 2 Chainz. Like, I don’t think Ross will have time for the strippers to come out against T.I. It won’t be time for massages, speeches… that’s T.I.”

Facing off against T.I. wouldn’t be Rick Ross’ first time appearing on Verzuz. Back in 2020, he battled 2 Chainz, running through his hits including “Diced Pineapples,” “Aston Martin Music,” and more.

Elsewhere in the live stream, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland confirmed that they still own Verzuz, despite the previous sale to Triller. “Verzuz is still 100 percent Black-owned,” Swizz said on the broadcast. “50 percent on the top of your screen, and 50 percent on the bottom of your screen. In case you ain’t know. Word to Allah. Okay? It was built for the people, and it will stay with the people. And we love everybody.”
