Lil Mama Calls Nicki Minaj A Musical Prostitute After BET Awards Win

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Mama is no stranger to controversy. The rapper infamously crashed a performance by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, and her career never recovered. This did not stop her, however, from giving her thoughts on Nicki Minaj. The Young Money superstar won Best Female Hip-Hop Artist at the BET Awards, and instead of congratulating her, Lil Mama decided to tear down her entire career. Lil Mama not only criticized Minaj for her sexualized persona, but claimed that she’s had a negative impact on the genre.

The rant came about via social media on July 1. Lil Mama decided to get into it with Minaj’s infamous fan base, and she did not hold back. She labeled Minaj a “musical prostitute” and proceeded to get meaner from there. “What major musical prostitutes from the last do you remember from the last 15 years,” she wrote. “Who do you think they watched corporate give a platform and flowers for sitting out. Be forreal.” Lil Mama then pointed to Minaj’s influence on the current wave of female rappers. Not in a positive light, either. “They are laughing at us, and the award was a ‘thanks to you, now we have 7, 8, 9 of ’em.’”

Lil Mama Previously Took Credit For Nicki Minaj’s Style

Several users came to Nicki Minaj’s defense. Some claimed that Lil Mama would have been on the BET stage if she were invited. She responded to this by drawing a line in the sand between her and Minaj. “Are you saying that I would have been performing be selling p**sy too or just performing,” she asked. The “Lil Gloss” rapper then tried to tweak her message to assume a more positive perspective. “It’s all love,” she wrote. “God is the greatest and these women are gonna wake up and realize that they are worth more than any price tag.”

This is not the first time Lil Mama has had critiques for Nicki Minaj. Ironically, the first time she did was to accuse Minaj of copying her style. “My cut is blunt and futuristic and Nicki Minaj started wearing that bob on her head after she came to my show,” the rapper told MTV in 2011. “At the end of the day I know what I do. And I know what I possess and I know who I am. I’m a trendsetter.” Things have obviously changed over the last decade, and now Lil Mama sees herself as an antidote to, rather than an inspiration for, the biggest female rapper of all time.

Rick Ross Drags His Baby Mama For Flirting With Drake On Instagram

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross has not let his foot off the gas. He has continued to diss Drake on social media and on record, despite the larger beef seemingly being over. It’s gone on for so long, in fact, that Ross’ baby mama, Tia Kemp, has hopped in the ring. Kemp dropped a diss track against Ross over the instrumental to his own song, “Hustlin.” She also clowned the rapper when he was seemingly attacked for playing “Not Like Us” at a show in Canada. It was Tia Kemp’s Instagram comment on July 1, however, that really set Ross off.

Drake posted a photo on IG, and Kemp wasted no time lavishing praise on the rapper. She posted two starry-eyed emojis in the comment section. Drake, never one to miss a passive aggressive opportunity, responded to Kemp by calling her “my goat.” It was this exchange that prompted Rick Ross to respond to both parties with a ruthless dig. He tagged Drake and wrote back: “pedo vs. granny.” Nothing clever, just a blunt insult for Drake and Tia Kemp. This is not the first time Ross and Kemp have had squabbles via social media. In June, the two got into a heated exchange regarding child support payments.

Ross celebrated Father’s Day by claiming that he no longer had to pay child support for the son he has with Kemp. Kemp did not waste any time clapping back at the rapper and threatening him with additional legal action. “You stupid, silly muthaf*cka,” she wrote. “I don’t give a f*ck about your support payments. And if I want some more, I’ll take my a*s over to family court and get some while he is going to college.” Kemp then went on to bash Rozay’s physical appearance. She also made reference to the rumor that he’s taking Ozempic for weight loss. “You ain’t worthy for me sitting in the system and going back and forth to court to drag your big, fat, funky Ozempic-taking a*s down.”

Coincidently, Drake also made reference to Rick Ross’ alleged Ozempic use. He claimed that Ross’ obsession with Drake could be a potential side effect of the drug on “Family Matters.” “What the f*ck I heard Rick drop, n**ga,” he rapped. Talkin’ somethin’ ’bout a nose job, n**ga. Ozempic got a side effect of jealousy and doctor never told y’all n**gas.” It’s safe to assume that Ross does not have plans to make up with either Drake or Kemp in the near future.

Foolio’s IG Account Baffles Fans By Claiming He’ll “Never Die”

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Julio Foolio passed away from gunshot wounds after a shooting at his 26th birthday party. Reportedly, the Jacksonville rapper had been celebrating with friends at a Tampa Airbnb when police arrived and kicked them out. They then moved to a local hotel, where the shooting took place. As fans and peers continue to mourn the tragic and unexpected loss, some have become confused, as his Instagram profile has been active in recent days.

Last week, for example, the account left a comment under his longtime rival Yungeen Ace’s diss track, “Game Over.” It later posted a promotional video for a weed company that featured Foolio himself. Now, the account has shared an interesting message, again baffling fans. “I’ll Never Die I’m a DemiGod,” they captioned a clip from Foolio’s No Jumper interview.

Commenters are now questioning who was behind the strange post, and whether or not he was hacked. Some are even sharing conspiracy theories about the rapper’s passing, which are all completely unconfirmed. Others are simply arguing that the posts are in poor taste, and urging whoever’s behind them to stop. Foolio’s loved ones have yet to comment on the account’s latest activity, though his girlfriend Mani B shared a heartbreaking Tweet in the days after his death, revealing the detrimental impact it’s had on her.

“This s*** so unreal I just woke up and smiled and tried to wrap my arm around my boyfriend and realized his a** not even alive OR next to me,” she wrote last week. What do you think of Foolio’s Instagram account continuing to be active despite the rapper’s recent death? What about the account posting a remark about him never dying?

Nelly and Ashanti originally began dating in the early 2000s but split up in 2014. Nearly a decade later, they reconciled and are getting married. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, last month, Ashanti revealed that Nelly proposed while they were in bed watching TV together. “I cried, I gave him the biggest hug and kiss ever,” she recalled, “I FaceTimed everyone I know… I was overjoyed and shocked and surprised and happy kind of like all in one.” She also explained how things are different this time around. “I think just we both are so passionate about working and about building family,” she said. “We are so, so aligned.”

Offset Accused Of “Disrespecting” Cardi B On IG Amid Pregnancy Rumors

June 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As of late, fans have started to speculate that Cardi B could be expecting, adding yet another layer of confusion to her already murky relationship status. Late last year, she announced that she and her longtime partner Offset had gone their separate ways. Since then, however, they appear to be back on good terms. It’s unclear at the time of writing whether or not they’re in a relationship again, though it seems like they’re at least keeping things cordial for their little ones.

The femcee stepped out last week for a BET Experience performance in an oversized sequined jersey dress, which left some suspecting that she was trying to hide a growing bump. Considering the fact that she and Offset just recently overcame some serious issues, this had fans concerned. Matters were only made worse today when the former Migos member took to Instagram to promote some new merch.

The photos feature various scantily clad women rocking “rare” t-shirts and panties, an apparent nod to his recent Gunna collab. “She do what I say she gone fetch,” he captioned the post, quoting the song. Commenters are now accusing him of disrespecting Cardi, and they’re not holding back in the slightest. “If my husband posted this, I would be pissed! This is very disrespectful,” one user writes. “Who gone fetch?” another wonders. “You should’ve known better than to post this mess.”

Others are coming to his defense, arguing that he was just promoting his music and merch, which likely won’t impact his relationship with the “Enough” performer. What do you think of rumors that Cardi B could be expecting? What about Offset’s latest Instagram post? Do you think he deserves the backlash he’s receiving online, or are social media users simply overreacting?

Will Smith Reveals How Music Has Gotten Him Through His “Darkest Moments” In Candid Post

June 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Will Smith reflected on going through some of the “darkest moments” of his life and explained that music always helped him make it out in a candid post on Instagram, earlier this week. While doing so, he shared a video of himself playing the piano, which left fans in the comments stunned at the musical talent they didn’t realize he processes. “Through some of my darkest moments, music has always been there for me – to lift me and help me grow,” he wrote. “It’s my humble wish that it can do the same for you and bring you all the joy and light you deserve. ‘You Can Make It’ drops at midnight. Excited to perform it live Sunday at the #betawards.”

In the comments section, one top reply reads: “Did not know he played piano. Not surprised. But never ceases to amaze.” Another fan joked: “Why you gotta be able to do everything bro? save some for us bruh.” Others celebrated his return to making music. He dropped his new single, “You Can Make It,” with Vory and the Sunday Service Choir on Friday.

Shaq Apologizes To Drake & Explains His Recent “BBL Drizzy” Post

June 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There’s not a corner of pop culture or entertainment that the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef hasn’t hit on yet, and its presence in sports is quite a curious one. Many NBA teams, for example, used these disses to warm up for playoff games, and the competitive nature of the feud inspired a lot of takes from sports commentators. In fact, we even saw Shaq have a little bit of fun by parodying the “BBL Drizzy” beat on Inside The NBA alongside Chuck, Kenny, and Ernie. But Shaquille O’Neal recently had to explain a bizarre edited picture that he posted of him chilling on a boat with presumably his girl or a female friend… with the 6ix God’s face placed over hers and “BBL Drizzy” playing in the background.

“Let me apologize right quick,” Shaq’s explanation of the whole thing began during his latest episode of The Big Podcast. “I sent out a picture the other day. The mistake I made was that I should’ve said, ‘Who did this?’ Because I want Drake to know… Listen, Drake has a great sense of humor, so I thought it was funny that they did it. I don’t want him to think -– like, I saw ‘Shaq’s trolling.’ No, I’m not trolling.

“No, I didn’t Photoshop it,” Shaq continued. “Somebody Photoshopped it and I actually saw it and I took the picture. So, Drake, I apologize. I should have put ‘Who was this?’ on there, because I don’t want you to think I did that. Somebody sent it to me, I thought it was funny and hopefully you thought it was funny, too. But once it went viral, I definitely took it down. But, so, my bad, big Drake.”

Meanwhile, Drake is already moving onto bigger fish to fry, and has some song of the summer contenders with his new collabs with Camila Cabello. But folks are still spreading a lot of memes and hilarious content about the Kendrick Lamar battle, and we’re sure that Shaq has many other takes on it. We’ll see whether more celebrities join in on the fun, although they’re pretty late if they’re just getting started. Nevertheless, don’t let Stan Twitter fool you: not everyone’s diving in Reddit rabbit holes to have fun with this rap-off.

Foolio’s Instagram Posts Promo Video Amidst Hacking Confusion

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Foolio’s memory has not seen rest yet. The rapper’s tragic death has been overshadowed by a series of disses and bizarre incidents on social media. The former has come about due to Foolio’s beef with Yungeen Ace. The latter, however, is still a mystery that’s unfolding. Foolio’s Instagram account was hacked on June 28. This lead to a series of posts and comments that had hip-hop fans scratching their head.

On Friday night, the rapper seemingly urged fans to follow his profile. He did so in a video that was posted directly to the Foolio Instagram. “Aye, this Foolio man,” the rapper says into the camera. “Go follow my people… I’mma put their app below… go follow [them] right now.” The caption under the video reads: “No fuel, no deal. Everything guaranteed.” It’s unnerving to watch, however, knowing the rapper himself is not behind the upload. The hacker had already struck earlier in the evening. Earlier, Foolio seemingly commented on Yungeen Ace’s diss song “Game Over.” The hacker left a trash emoji in the comment section, which prompted Ace to respond.

All this is going on while the search for Foolio’s killers persists. Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters issued a statement on who the police are looking to Newsweek. He was careful not to reveal too much, though. “These groups – I won’t name them, they know who they are,” he explained. “We’re not going to tolerate any retribution, any revenge… we’re going to watch. We’re going to pay attention to what’s going on.” The Jacksonville police have not announced any suspects. Consequently, no arrests have been made.

Let us know your thoughts on this situation, in the comments section down below. Do you think Foolio’s account will continue to post content? Do you think the culprit will be caught? You can learn more about the Foolio case below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Yungeen Ace Responds To Foolio’s IG Being Hacked After His Death

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Foolio may have died, but Yungeen Ace is keeping the beef alive. The latter has not taken his foot off the gas since Foolio’s passing. If anything, he’s doubled down. He dropped two disses, “Did It” and “Game Over,” and both are ruthless takedowns of a rapper who can no longer defend himself. Well, you’d think he wouldn’t be able to, at least. A bizarre incident happened on June 28. Foolio’s Instagram account was hacked, and the hacker decided to leave a comment on one of Ace’s posts.

The comment was left on the music video link for “Game Over.” The hacker, who has yet to be identified, posted a trash can emoji. A valid response, given the content of the song, but morbid given the fact that Foolio is not behind the keyboard. Yungeen Ace saw this comment and responded. Without missing so much as a beat, the rapper wrote: “You still f*cking with me dude.” He included two laughing emojis, and then added: “I love you 4eva.” The love on Ace’s side is, presumably, sarcastic, given how brutal his diss tracks against Foolio have been.

That being said, this isn’t the first time Yungeen Ace has shown love to Foolio. When the latter was involved in a 2023 shooting, Ace hopped on Instagram to wish him the best. “I’m glad you survived,” he wrote. “I love you la bra.” Foolio (the real one) wrote back: “Love you too.” This directly contradicts the celebratory tone that Ace has taken since. It does suggest, however, that peace was a possibility at one point. Yungeen Ace was asked whether he would ever squash things with Foolio during a 2021 interview with DJ Vlad.

The rapper didn’t deny the possibility, but he didn’t directly answer the question. “I really want what’s best for the city,” he explained. “I just want everybody to win, no matter what it is, what it ain’t.” Foolio also sat down with DJ Vlad to hash out the same problem. The late rapper was more direct. “It’ll prolly [end] sooner than later,” he told the host. “You never know what God got planned. I told [Ace] that a couple times. We be talking, time to time.” The interview takes on a tragic bent, knowing how Foolio passed, and how Yungeen Ace has continued to act.

Drake Sends Thank You Message To Camilla Cabello After Their Collab

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake has great chemistry with female artists on record. He’s near the top of the list when it comes to rappers with classic duets. It should come as no surprise, then that his new songs with Camila Cabello, “Hot Uptown” and “UUUGLY,” are being praised. The pair sound great together, especially on the former. Cabello has sung the praises of Drake in the lead-up to the song’s release. She praised his artistry, and his kind presence in the studio. Evidently, the 6 God thought it was time to return the favor. He gave Cabello his flowers via Instagram on June 28.

Drake posted photos of him and Cabello during their “vacation.” A vacation, Cabello, revealed, during which they laid down the vocals for “Hot Uptown.” The first photo sees Drake and Cabello sitting at a table, and second sees them riding on jet skis. “Thanks for the link up @camila_cabello,” the rapper wrote in the caption. “Congrats.” Drake has a good cause to give Camila Cabello her flowers. He has struggled to get his musical footing back after losing the Kendrick Lamar battle, and their two collabs have been the best-received songs he’s dropped in months.

Camila Cabello addressed the Drake vs. Kendrick battle during a recent interview with The Times. She was with the rapper in the aftermath of “Not Like Us,” and was saddened by the impact it had on the 6 God. “Drake is such a delight,” she told the outlet. “It’s so frustrating to see people talk about someone you know in a negative way.” Cabello went a step further, and voiced her desire to see the battle come to a peaceful end. “You’re like, ‘Dang, if only you guys could just have dinner or something,’” she explained.

Cabello was also eager to work with Drake because of her adoration of hip-hop. While she’d worked with rappers before, she wanted to explore that side of her music more on her new album. “I listened to rap that I grew up with in Miami and what was popular at the time,” she told Complex Magazine. “But I didn’t listen to Illmatic and I didn’t listen to Dr. Dre and a lot of the classic hip-hop albums from before.” Well, the collaborations proved beneficial on both ends. Maybe Drake and Cabello have more hits together down the line.
