Drake Playfully Cites Joe Budden And Duke Dennis As His Selfie “Influences”

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s selfie face has become a renewable source of comedy for fans and haters alike. Everybody has seen a Drake photo and thought, “he’s doing too much.” The rapper knows this, and he decided to have some fun with his selfie reputation on Wednesday night. Drizzy hopped on his main Instagram profile for the first time in over a week to post some new selfies. What looked like a typical photo drop, though, was actually a means of poking fun at the men who “influenced” his style.

The first photo sees Drake doing another dramatic selfie face in a mirror. The second, though, is of Duke Dennis. Yes, the gaming YouTuber. The third photo is of Joe Budden. Yes, the rapper-turned-podcaster who has been beefing with Drake for the better part of a decade and a half. Drizzy made sure to choose photos in which Dennis and Budden are giving the camera their most “seductive” face. The photos are made all the more hilarious by the fact that Drake follows them up with two photos of himself looking, well, ridiculous with similar facial expression.

Drake Made Fun Of His Own Mirror Selfies

The caption that the 6 God attaches to these photos says it all. “I’m not aware of my picture or mirror face,” he writes. “It’s a curse from birth and I’m influenced by what I see.” It’s safe to say that nobody was expecting Drake to post photos of Duke Dennis and Joe Budden of all people. Not really the guys who come to mind when thinking of the rapper’s influences (Budden musically, but still). Duke Dennis has reacted to a lot of Drake songs, like most YouTubers, but the two have never publicly interacted. It just goes to show that the 6 God really likes to spend time online when he’s not recording or dropping 100 Gigs on our headtops.

Drake’s decision to post Joe Budden is intriguing, given the podcaster’s recent comments. The two men have never seen eye to eye, but Budden praised Drake during a recent pod. He felt like Drake was doing a good job of recovering after losing the Kendrick Lamar battle. He went as far as to say that he liked the last batch of songs Drizzy dropped on his 100 Gigs site. Drake has been charitable with another former enemy, Kanye West, by giving him a recent Instagram follow. Maybe the same thing is happening with Budden. It’s probably just a troll, though.

50 Cent Clowns Irv Gotti For Having A Stroke

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During a recent episode of his podcast, Wack 100 claimed that Irv Gotti suffered a stroke several months ago. He went on to share a photo of Gotti walking with a cane on Instagram, which quickly made its rounds online. His rep later confirmed the news in a statement to TMZ, revealing that he’s since made a full recovery, and is not back home with his loved ones.

“Irv has been struggling with diabetes for years, which caused him to have a minor stroke over six months ago,” the statement begins. “He has since changed his diet to eating more healthy. He’s been successful in making a full recovery. Irv is not in a rehab facility. He is at home with his family, enjoying life.”

Most commenters called Wack 100 out for being insensitive, but evidently, he’s not the only one. His longtime foe 50 Cent took to Instagram today to share his take on the debacle, making it clear that he doesn’t have much sympathy. “Damn homie, in high school you was the man homie, WTF happened to you?” he captioned the aforementioned photo of Gotti using a cane. “I want Irv to get well, so he can have to watch my next wave LOL @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”

This isn’t the only time Fif’s gone after Gotti on Instagram, however. Last month, he reacted to news of Gotti getting sued for alleged sexual assault, claiming that “the legal fees are gonna break his a** half, he ain’t got no money.” What do you think of 50 Cent trolling Irv Gotti in response to news of his stroke? Do you think he crossed the line or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jaden Smith’s Ex-Girlfriend Links Up With Diablo After Cheating Scandal

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jaden Smith made headlines for all the wrong reasons on August 14. The rapper and Will Smith progeny was caught kissing influencer and model Khleopatre. The issue is, he was dating social media influencer Sab Zada at the time. To make matters even worse, Sab Zada was with Smith on the same Ibiza trip in which he was seen cheating. The internet’s judgement was swift, and the relationship between Jaden Smith and Zada remains unclear. It does, however, appear as though Zada is getting back at Smith.

On August 27, Sab Zada posed for photos with rapper Diablo. The two flashed a middle finger to the camera and subsequently posted it to Diablo’s Instagram Story. No caption or additional context, but it doesn’t take a detective to figure out who the fingers were intended for. Jaden Smith’s actions seemed to have a pretty major impact on Sab Zada, and understandably so. The social media influence took to Twitter after cheating rumors surfaced, and voiced her disappointment. “Maybe it’s funny for a moment but after a while, it’s just a reminder of heartache for everyone,” she wrote.

Jaden Smith And Sab Zada Have Dated Since 2020

Jaden Smith and Sab Zada’s relationship dates back several years. The two celebrities were first spotted together in 2020, even though they officially confirmed their romance in February 2024. Zada even went with Jaden Smith to the premiere of his father’s film, Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Jaden Smith’s dating history has been widely speculated since he entered the public eye. He famously turned heads in 2018 when he claimed that he was in a relationship with fellow rapper Tyler, The Creator. “Tyler doesn’t want to say but Tyler’s my motherf*cking boyfriend,” he told a concert audience. “And he’s been my my motherf*cking boyfriend my whole f**king life.”

Jaden Smith’s relationship with Sab Zada seemed more substantial. The former would repeatedly post photos of Zada on his Instagram. He also playfully blamed Zada for the delay of his upcoming album. He informed fans that new music was coming, but that he was “distracted” by his girlfriend. “Album soon I been distracted,” he wrote back in February. We will see what the future holds for these two.

J Prince Goes After Lil Woody & YSL Prosecutor In Scathing IG Post

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

J Prince called out Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Simone Hylton as well as Lil Woody while sharing a clip from the YSL RICO trial on Instagram on Monday night. In the video, Hylton asked Woody whether he recalled comparing Young Thug to J Prince. The witness claimed he didn’t know who that actually was and brought up his previous admission about lying to police about the rapper back in 2015. “I told you for the 10th time,” he stated, as caught by AllHipHop. “I’m gonna tell the police anything, and that’s what I did.”

“Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to fake-ass people putting my name in their mouth,” Prince captioned his post. “But I still find it very interesting how some prosecutors will go above and beyond the call of duty to try and destroy a man’s life for being inspired by a successful Black entrepreneur like myself. Btw, Black-on-Black racism feels the worst.” He concluded with the hashtag, “#FreeYoungThug.”

Opening statements are set to begin in the case against 31 year old US rapper Young Thug and 28 others, who are facing a racketeering indictment accusing the defendants of a number of offenses that support an overarching conspiracy charge, including murder, assault, carjacking, drug dealing, and theft.

As for Woody’s remarks about lying, he made the admission previously during another day on the stand. “The police kept locking me up for whatever they could,” he said. “Every time I counted the door, the police was on me, and they keep bringing up Thug’s name. So what I did was to get ’em out off me, I said, ‘Thug did this. Thug did that. Thug,’ because I knew they were—I knew he didn’t do it.”

J Prince Speaks On The YSL Trial

Prince is far from the first celebrity to speak out in support of Young Thug. In addition to several other hip-hop artists, former President Donald Trump even described his treatment as unfair while speaking with Adin Ross. Be on the lookout for further updates on J Prince on HotNewHipHop.

Meek Mill Freestyles Over Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” Diss: Watch

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill is always up to something. The Philadelphia rapper can always be counted on to say or do something that makes fans scratch their heads. Meek Mill decided he want to showcase his freestyle skills on August 26 by spitting a verse over “Family Matters.” Then, a few hours later, Meek Mill came back with another freestyle. Instead of being over a Drake diss, however, the rapper decided to flip the script. He spit over the beat to Kendrick Lamar’s diss, “Euphoria,” instead.

Meek Mill played the “Family Matters” freestyle in a car, which made sense. The rapper decided to get a little more adventurous when it came to “Euphoria,” though. Meek decided to walk through a department store and rap along to his recorded freestyle in public. He documented the whole thing on his Instagram Live. He also provided some context in the form of a written caption. “I did Kendrick and Drake beats for practice,” he explained. Meek Mill is no stranger to rap beef. Especially when it comes to the 6 God. He has weighed in on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle via social media, but his overall sentiment was a little confusing.

Meek Mill Praised Both Drake And Dot During The Battle

Meek Mill avoided choosing sides, then proceeded to big up his own battle skills in the process. He also shed light on his PR situation, for some reason. “My PR has been off for a year,” he tweeted back in May. “When I’m gone they will give it up! Ima just keep grinding! [The] boy and Kendrick have their own lanes and qualities they great at also!” To be fair to Meek, he may be ahead of the game, rather than behind it. While “Family Matters” and “Euphoria” are months old, Drake has been hinting at a second round of the battle.

The Toronto rapper posted an Instagram Story of Rasheed Wallace proclaiming: “We will win Game 2.” Fans didn’t have to do too much deep diving to know that he was alluding the Kendrick Lamar battle. Drake took the Instagram Story down shortly after, though, which confounded just about everybody. Meek Mill may have more diss songs to freestyle over, if the 6 God makes good on his quasi-cryptic post.

Big Sean Reveals COVID Diagnosis During Emotional IG Live: Watch

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean has been through a lot since he dropped his last album. He became a father, he quit drinking, and apparently, he suffered from COVID. The rapper hopped on Instagram Live ahead of his new album release and dropped the bombshell news about his diagnosis. Big Sean talked about the various ways in which he feels he’s been tested since 2020. He also relayed the importance of these tests, and the role they play in the lyrical content of Better Me Than You.

Big Sean doesn’t take long to get emotional. Upon reflecting on the last four years, the rapper starts to tear up. He turns away from the camera, and even cuts at one point before walking back into the frame. “When you make art, you put your heart into this sh*t,” he explains. Big Sean then reveals that he is in the midst of recovering from COVID. “When I had COVID last week,” he reveals. “I was down and I was still working on the album.” The rapper then pointed out the irony of his diagnosis, given that his last album, Detroit 2, dropped during the pandemic. “When I last dropped an album, it was COVID,” he noted. “I was excited to plan my release party, I was excited to do all of that.”

Big Sean Is Already Working On His Next Album

A post shared by Baller Alert (@balleralert)

Big Sean credits his family with helping him get through such a difficult time. He recalls a phone call from his mother that helped to put everything in perspective. Especially with regards to the release date of the album. “She was giving me them words,” he explained. “And I was just like, look, I can keep working on some sh*t and make it exactly how I wanted. But I’d be pushing it back forever.” He ultimately decided to have faith in the music he had, and put it out August 30. “That’s what I’mma do,” he told viewers. “The album is dropping this week.”

Big Sean also revealed that he’s begun work on his next album. He explained that he kept working while he was sick, and actually has dozens of songs that didn’t make the Better Me Than You tracklist. One of them, evidently, features Fantasia. Big Sean dubbed their collab “soulful,” and hinted at its inclusion on whatever he drops next. The uncertainty over which songs to include makes sense, given that Sean had to deal with Better Me Than You leaking in its entirety. We’re excited to hear the final version.
