Drake Shows Love To J Cole After Being Referenced In New Song

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Kendrick Lamar have been the dominant rap story of 2024. For good reason. They are the two defining artists of their generation, both in terms of acclaim and success. Drake and J Cole are a similarly fascinating story, though. The duo have been working together since 2010, and they reunited on the hit single “First Person Shooter” in 2023. You know, the one that ignited the whole “Big Three” war to begin with. J Cole ducked out of the war, leaving Drake to go at Kendrick Lamar on his own. Cole said as much on his new song, “Port Antonio.” And Drake seemingly listened.

J Cole dropped “San Antonio” out of the blue on October 9. Fans were excited to get new music, but no one could have predicted the lyrical topics that Cole takes on. He addresses the “Big Three” beef head on, and even calls out Drake by name during one of his verses. He makes it clear that he doesn’t dislike the 6 God, and acknowledges how much help he’s given him in his career. “They say I’m picking sides, don’t you lie on me, my n**ga,” J Cole spits. “The start of another war, hey Drake, you’ll always be my n**ga. I ain’t ashamed to say you did a lot for me, my n**ga.” The Toronto rapper seemingly respected what Cole had to say. He liked the Instagram post that initially uploaded the song.

Drake Liked J Cole’s “Port Antonio” Post On IG

The timing of the shout out is interesting. Drake recently made headlines for less than stellar reasons. He made an appearance at a public event in Toronto, and proceeded to talk about how those he considered friends have stabbed him in the back. “My real friends are definitely in the building,” the 6 God explained to the crowd. “You’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, or people you thought were close to you, switch up.” Based on the fact that J Cole not only apologized for dissing Kendrick Lamar, but proceeded to work with several of Drake’s enemies, it’s safe to assume he is among the fake friends Drake mentioned.

J Cole spent the rest of the song explaining why he didn’t want to beef with Drake and K. Dot. In his estimation, he didn’t want to be remembered for ragging on people he considered peers. He also was opposed to digging up dirt on people he’s known well for years. “Jermaine is no king,” he raps. “If that means I gotta dig up dirt. And pay the whole team of algorithm bot n**gas just to sway the whole thing on social media, competing for ya favorable memes.” Here’s hoping J Cole’s olive branch is enough to mend things between him and Drake.

50 Cent Expects Diddy To Get Out On Bail After His Next Hearing

October 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent says that he expects Diddy to get out on bail after his next court hearing and advised his followers to keep their same energy when he’s not behind bars. He made the statement in a since-deleted post on Instagram caught by DJ Akademiks. “Diddy gonna make bail his next court date, so all this sh*t y’all been saying, keep the same energy,” 50 wrote. “Don’t you even try to take that post down!”

Authorities first arrested Diddy on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering in New York, last month. A judge denied his initial request to get out on bail shortly afterward, and in turn, he resides at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Diddy’s Attorney Speaks Outside Of His First Bailing Hearing

Marc Agnifilo (L), lawyer for rapper and music producer Sean “Diddy.” Combs, speaks outside federal court after Combs’ arraignment hearing on September 17, 2024, in New York. A US judge on Tuesday refused a bail request from Combs and ordered the superstar rapper jailed pending his trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky ordered Combs to remain in custody after the music mogul pleaded not guilty to the charges in an indictment that was unsealed on Tuesday.

The trolling from 50 Cent isn’t limited to just social media. He recently announced that Netflix is producing his docuseries about the allegations surrounding Diddy. “This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and director Alexandria Stapleton said in a statement to Variety. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”

50 Cent Trolls Diddy On Instagram

Check out 50’s since-deleted Instagram post below. Diddy has already pleaded not guilty to the charges. His next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday, October 9. Be on the lookout for further updates on 50 Cent and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

DDG Claims He’s Done With Dating Unless He Reunites With Halle Bailey

October 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG has had quite the week. The rapper/YouTuber announced that he’d broken up with Halle Bailey via Instagram. The internet had lots of opinions on the matter, and DDG has spent the last few days having to explain his stance. It’s not an ideal place to be. The rapper had to debunk a fake screenshot that had been making the rounds under his name. Then, on October 7, he shed light on his plans for the future. Namely, whether or not he wanted to get into another long term relationship anytime soon.

DDG told his fans, via live stream, that he wasn’t interesting dating. Like, in the long term. The rapper claimed that he had no interest in future relationships. “I am not dating anyone,” he asserted. “I don’t have a potential girlfriend, nor do I even think about that.” DDG clarified that he does not want to have a messy personal life moving forward, and winces at the notion of having multiple baby mamas. “I don’t plan on getting into another at all… I am not finna get a new girlfriend.” The one exception that he made was his famous ex, Halle Bailey.

DDG Is Open To Getting Back With Bailey

He conceded that he would consider getting back together with Bailey, since they already have a family together. He doubled down on his familial stance by telling his followers that he plans to go pick up his son as soon as the stream ends. While it makes sense that the rapper would not want to jump back in to a relationship so soon after one ended, his comments about Bailey did catch some fans off guard. Many were not expecting him to be open to the idea of getting back together with her. Especially given that he was the one who announced their split in the first place.

DDG definitely feels defensive when it comes to the way the public has perceived his split. Joe Budden had some harsh comments to make about the rapper on The Joe Budden Podcast, and the rapper fired back with some harsh comments of his own. He called Budden a deadbeat dad, made comments about his sexuality, and claimed that people only watched his previous show, Everyday Struggle, because it had DJ Akademiks.

Trippie Redd Jokes That He’s Being Held Hostage By KSI After Collab Single

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

KSI is not anybody’s favorite rapper. An entertaining streamer and YouTuber? Sure. A lyricist? Absolutely not. KSI has been trying to launch a music career for years. His new single, however, “Thick of It,” might be his worst release yet. He has ruthlessly clowned by fans and influencers alike for his Ed Sheeran-like bars and awkward delivery. The other common talking point among fans is theories as to how KSI got a guest verse from a real rapper like Trippie Redd. Well, Redd decided to weigh in on October 7, but it did not make KSI look any better.

Trippie Redd decided to pile on KSI and the song. He posted the song with a caption claiming that he was kidnapped and forced to spit a verse. “I was held hostage to do this,” he stated. Redd doubled down on the absurd claim by telling fans that he was still being held captive by KSI, and only they can help him get free. “If this doesn’t hit 20 million the first month,” he said. “KSI won’t let me go. Please free me.” Trippie Redd has never taken himself too seriously, though. There wasn’t many other ways to promote a song that has been universally clowned. Drake has even given his two cents on “Thick of It.”

Trippie Redd Wants The Song To Get 20 Million Views

Drake, who previously worked with Trippie Redd on the song “Betrayal,” fired shots in the comment section of an Adin Ross stream. He jokingly told Ross to stop playing whatever he had on and thrown KSI’s new single on instead. “Play KSI new banger for the max,” the 6 God wrote. Trippie Redd knows most of the hate is being directed at KSI, in particular. That said, the rapper has struggled to catch a break, in terms of positive feedback on his recent output.

Trippie Redd teamed up with Machine Gun Kelly for the collab EP Genre: Sadboy in March. Nobody seemed to like it. Many called it out for having sloppy music and so-so lyricism. Fans didn’t love Redd’s previous solo release, A Love Letter to You 5, either. Fans absolutely hated the 2023 album. Many pointing out that Trippie Redd’s music is sounding increasingly stale and made for the lowest common denominator. Hopefully the KSI debacle is a wake up call.

Tyler, The Creator Blasts Fans For Spreading False Album Rumors

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler, The Creator has been on a creative over the last decade. The rapper broke through at the tail end of the 2000s, but it’s his last three albums that have really captivated fans and critics. The desire for new Tyler music makes sense. Musically, lyrically, and thematically, he’s one of the most ambitious people in the business. That doesn’t mean Tyler, The Creator has a new album around the corner, though. He had bad news for fans on October 7, along with some critiques for presumptuous fans.

Tyler, The Creator wasn’t even part of the initial fan interaction that took place on Instagram. He noticed that Steve Lacy, a former Odd Future affiliate and frequent collaborator, was being harassed by fans for new music. Lacy vented his frustrations in an Instagram comment. “Album this album that,” he asserted. “What happened to hello?” Tyler, The Creator seemingly felt similarly, as he jumped in to endorse Lacy’s comment. “I feel you,” the rapper noted. “Sh*t is annoying especially when I never said out my mouth an album was coming.” This is true. Tyler has not announced any new music since the release of The Estate Sale, the deluxe version of his last studio album, in 2023.

Tyler, The Creator Is Focused On Acting Right Now

Furthermore, Tyler, The Creator told his fans that he has other creative ventures he wants to pursue. He wants to get into acting, most notably. “I wanna be an actress Imfao,” he wrote at the end of his post. In keeping with the rapper’s statement, he has taken massive strides towards a Hollywood career in recent years. He recently booked a supporting role in the upcoming A24 film Marty Supreme. Tyler, The Creator will be making his dramatic debut opposite an impressive cast of stars like Timothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Fran Drescher and Abel Ferrera. The irony of this casting, of course, is that Tyler referenced the star of the film in his 2017 song “OKRA.” “Tell Tim Chalamet to come get at me,” he spit. “Skin glowin’, clear of acne. Diamonds see-through, so holographic.”

Tyler, The Creator’s musical output has noticeably lessened in the last couple years. His last feature was on the recent Maxo Kream single “Cracc Era.” Tyler’s guest verse prior to that collab was in 2022, on The Weeknd song “Here We Go… Again.” It will be exciting to see how Tyler, The Creator fares in the next chapter of his entertainment career. That said, he does have a brand new song on the way. The Odd Future founder is going to appear on the remix to “Virginia Boy,” which will be on the soundtrack to Pharrell’s biopic Piece By Piece.

Megan Thee Stallion Flaunts Her Figure In New Instagram Thirst Trap

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion might have a new mixtape coming soon, but that doesn’t mean she’s ignoring her Instagram feed in the meantime. Moreover, she recently treated fans to some new hot shots in an all-black ensemble comprised of a tight button-up, leggings, and new short hair. The Houston femcee had folks like SZA, Halsey, and more thirsting for her in the comments section. With how defined her figure looks in the photos, it’s not hard to see why. Also, Tina Snow’s always been a big sharer online, so these are just the results of her many workout videos and life updates.

But elsewhere, fans are dragging Megan Thee Stallion into seemingly unrelated scenarios, such as Nicki Minaj’s recent denial that she got Megan’s former best friend Kelsey Harris to model for her shoe line amid their beef. “The fact that @TheShadeRoom posted this LIE 5 days ago & im just now finding out,” Nicki Minaj wrote on Twitter on Sunday (October 6). “chiiiiii LOL!!!!!!! I love being booked & busy. ‘Models for my collection’? She posted a photo in my sneakers. Me, nor my company knew anything about it until she posted it.

“So she did what many ppl did when they received my sneakers, they posted a photo in them,” Nicki Minaj continued about Megan Thee Stallion’s former friend. “Kelsey def went all the way out with this professional looking backdrop tho. But she is in no way professionally connected to my sneaker brand. No matter what yall pay the Shaderoom to post, plz remember that I did a sold out record breaking tour. And was then ASKED to do a 2nd leg. Too busy & too successful for the clownery. […] Btw, did Kelsey not tell them she wasn’t modeling for the line barbz? Did she just let them think that? I gotta get caught up yall.”

Meanwhile, an upcoming documentary series on Megan Thee Stallion should give fans an interesting insight into her many endeavors. Whether it will hit with fans obviously remains to be seen, but we’d bet on it being a compelling look. Let’s see what other Instagram antics Meg gets into, whether they’re sultry or not.

Usher Brings His Kids To Disney And Shares Adorable Pics From The Trip

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usher shared a series of photos of himself and his children on Instagram on Saturday after bringing his family to Dinsey’s amusement park. “Happiest place on earth with my favorite people on earth,” he wrote in the caption. The pictures show him and the kids on various rides, checking out the gift shop, posing with Mickey Mouse, and more.

When The Shade Room shared a compilation of the pictures, fans accused the singer of using his kids for a public relations opportunity. “It’s crazy that these celebrities hire photographers to walk around the park with them and their kids…” one user posted. Another wrote: “With everything that’s coming out about him sounds like the right thing to do…” Others had more wholesome responses while many of his fans came to his defense amid the allegations. One fan wrote: “People need to wait before accusing usher of anything, beiber has consistently shown love for usher, most recent being after the Super Bowl, right I don’t believe he did anything wrong.”

While Usher is in no way connected to Diddy’s recent arrest on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, fans thought he was trying to distance himself from the Bad Boy mogul, last month, after all of his social media posts were taken down. “Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! [laughing emojis]. See you tonight at Intuit Dome,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter) afterward.

50 Cent Shares Heartfelt Message For Eminem’s Daughter After Pregnancy Announcement

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that 50 Cent and Eminem go way back. For this reason, the two artists have seen each other go through various phases in their lives. They’ve even watched each other’s children grow up, adding a whole new layer to their friendship. Earlier this week, for example, Eminem announced that his daughter Hailie Jade is expecting her first child. He did so in the music video for his The Death Of Slim Shady track “Temporary,” which features footage of him learning he’s going to be a grandfather.

Of course, the touching announcement prompted a response from Fif, who took to Instagram to share his reaction to the exciting news. He shared a series of photos of various moments in Hailie’s life alongside a heartfelt caption. “Man [palm on face emoji] the baby, is not a baby anymore. @hailiejade congratulations baby. [three hand clap emojis, sly face emoji] @eminem man [eyes looking emoji] we fvcking getting old smh LOL,” he wrote.

This isn’t the first time a big moment in Hailie Jade’s life had 50 Cent feeling sentimental, however. During an interview with Haute Living last month, he recalled attending the 28-year-old’s wedding. According to him, it made him emotional and even made him want a daughter of his own.

“It was unbelievable, the wildest thing for me, period. I was like, ‘Yo, bro, this is cr*zy. We’re getting old. Your baby is grown. What the f*ck is going on?’” he said. “I was having a moment myself over there. I told Em, ‘You said it was OK to cry, because I’m crying,’ I couldn’t believe it went that fast.” What do you think of 50 Cent congratulating Eminem’s daughter Hailie on her recently announced pregnancy?

50 Cent Ruthlessly Clowns Diddy Again After Old Clip Resurfaces: Watch

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has never hid his disdain for Diddy. He was seemingly ahead of the curve by a couple of years, as everybody in the music industry has resorted to mocking the Bad Boy mogul. Given the allegations made against him, the mockery makes sense. 50 Cent is the originator, however. An interview began to circulate of Friday, October 4, and it dated back to 2018. Diddy wasn’t involved, but he was the topic of conversation. 50 Cent then reposed the clip and threw in some more digs at the mogul in the caption.

The interview took place on The Breakfast Club. 50 Cent was promoting the film Den of Thieves along with his co-stars, O’Shea Jackson, Jr. and Gerard Butler. The other two had more prominent roles in the film, but it’s obvious that 50 is leading the interview. The whole line of questioning has to do with 50’s disdain for Diddy. Charlamagne tha God then proceeds to read a comment that the rapper made with regards to Diddy. “Sorry I can no longer help you guys,” the comment stated. “Soon you will all be gay and happy. You are all now left under the leadership of Puffy Daddy. Report to the nearest rainbow.”

50 Cent Joked About Diddy’s Sexuality On Instagram

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

The comment drew laughter from everybody in the room. 50 Cent, never one to miss an opportunity to troll, doubled down on his 2018 roast in the caption. “I just want to apologize for being heterosexual,” he wrote. “I understand it’s offensive these days. I’m sorry I was born this way, I hope you can accept me in the new world.” 50 has repeatedly alluded to Diddy’s sexuality over the years, and another viral clip saw him roast the mogul for trying to take him shopping. “I thought that was the weirdest sh*t in the world,” he recalled. “Because that might be something that a man says to a woman.”

50 Cent is, of course, laughing all the way to the bank. The rapper is currently in the midst of working on a Diddy documentary for Netflix. The documentary sold for an undisclosed amount, but 50 is excited to spread the word. “This is a story with significant human impact,” the rapper told Variety. “It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.”

DDG Claims Viral IG Screenshot Explaining Why He Is Single Is Fake

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG and Halle Bailey are no more. The couple charmed fans everywhere, especially after the arrival of their son in 2023, but DDG confirmed that they were going their separate ways on October 3. He put out a lengthy statement on Instagram, detailing their decision and assuring fans that they are still going to be friends and co-parents. The internet, being the internet, reacted in unpredictable ways. Some made fun of the couple, others criticized them for not trying to stay together for the sake of their child. Then there was someone who made a fake screenshot of a DDG message.

The message made the rounds the same day as DDG’s breakup statement. It was framed, similarly, as white text against a black Instagram Story backdrop. It also posed DDG’s decision to end his romance with Halle Bailey as something that stemmed from frustration. “I’m a grown man I can make my own decisions,” the fake post explained. “We chose to split because of personal reasons, nah it’s not a skit. I’m not hurt.” The fake post also posited that DDG is happy with the state of his relationship as long as his son is taken care of. “As long as my son good I’m good,” the post concluded.

DDG Claimed He Doesn’t Use Close Friends On IG

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

While nothing said was inflammatory or especially bold, DDG didn’t say it. He took to Twitter to clarify that he doesn’t even use the “close friends” option on Instagram. This is where the screenshot was alleged to have come from. “I don’t even use close friends,” the rapper tweeted. He then directed an insult at the fans who made and circulated the fake post. “Stop being weird,” he asserted. The couple made headlines for dressing up like Janet Jackson and Tupac from the film Poetic Justice during their last Halloween, but not everything for them has been smooth sailing.

DDG made it clear that he didn’t like how cozy Bailey got with her Little Mermaid co-star during the press tour. He said as much in the song “Famous.” The title itself sparked debate, as Bailey’s Disney role made her significantly more famous than her musician boyfriend. “Filmin’ a movie now you kissing dudes / You know I love you a lot,” DDG rapped. “I don’t give a f*ck if that sh*t for promo / I don’t wanna see this sh*t no more.” Halle Bailey, who has yet to speak publicly on the split.
