Azealia Banks Endorses “Stupid And Incoherent” Kamala Harris For President

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Is there a more outspoken celebrity than Azealia Banks? She can make people like Kanye West seem well behaved. The rapper has proven to be a consistent source of scorn and praise for her bold social media statements. She will take anyone to task, no matter who they are or how protective their fanbase can be. Kamala Harris is no exception. Despite receiving endorsements from the likes of Beyonce, Eminem, and Rihanna, Harris has repeatedly fallen victim to the Azealia Banks buzzsaw. Which is why it was such an unexpected twist when the rapper announced she would be team Kamala.

Azealia Banks made her decision known on November 4. The rapper confirmed that she was voting against Donald Trump, but not because she was a fan of Harris. In fact, Banks saw fit to insult Harris a few times while explaining her reasoning. “For as stupid and incoherent Kamala Harris is,” she wrote on Twitter. “And as trash as [Tim] Walz is, and despite the fact that Kamala Harris is the only Democratic Nominee to not have actively campaigned in a Primary…” Not a ringing endorsement by any standard, and yet, Azealia Banks (kinda) landed the plane.

Azealia Banks Wants To Keep Elon Musk From Power

The rapper’s reason for voting Harris/Walz is that she cannot stand Elon Musk. The Tesla founder and Twitter owner has become a key player in Trump’s campaign. Trump even claimed that he would make Musk the head of a government efficiency commission if elected. This is something Azealia Banks can’t abide by. “I really think keeping Elon Musk away from any type of political power… is tantamount to any issue on the table here,” she wrote. “You have to be a complete idiot to think that dirtbag cares about anyone or anything other than himself.”

Azealia Banks proceeded to list off all the other issues she had with the Trump campaign. It’s obvious that she has more negative things to say about him than she does positive things about Harris, but it still amounted to an endorsement. The irony is that Banks’ announcement comes a few days after she went in on Cardi B for endorsing Kamala Harris. Banks mocked Cardi’s appearance at a recent campaign rally and accused her of leaning on a “stupid Latina shtick.” Now, it appears, both rappers have wound up in the same place.

Meek Mill Inspires Listeners With “WHO YOU VOTING FOR?”

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill is at an impasse in 2024. He doesn’t have the cultural cache he did a decade ago. If anything, the rapper’s antics and affiliations with people like Diddy have turned him into a punchline. When Meek gets in his bag, though, he can still rap. He proves it on his new single “WHO YOU VOTING FOR?” As the title and timing of the song’s release suggest, Meek Mill is delving into the controversy surrounding the 2024 presidential election. It’s a focal point, but the rapper also uses the election as a launching pad to touch on more personal topics.

Meek Mill kicks off the song with a reference to a friend who said he was voting for Donald Trump. The rapper doesn’t condemn this friend, but he does express doubt over the former president’s character. “He said he want that stimulus,” Meek raps. “I want it too, but the way he moving venomous.” He then delves into the legal troubles of his past, and gives unexpected shout outs to both Lil Durk and Young Thug. The recency of Durk’s arrest and Thug’s release certainly gives the song an urgency it wouldn’t have otherwise. Meek Mill’s flow is impassioned, and the production really sells the earnest approach here. “WHO YOU VOTING FOR?” is not going to be a smash streaming hit, but it’s a solid showcase for Meek and it proves that he can still deliver the goods.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. 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.

Meek Mill Capitalizes On Election Anxieties

Quotable Lyrics:

I did time for some coke I ain’t sell
Eight n**gas on my case they had to hope I ain’t tell
Dead broke, hell no I ain’t bail
Had to lock me up four times on probation had to hope I ain’t fail

Rihanna Jokingly Wants To ‘Sneak Into The Polls’ To Cast Her Vote, But For One Major Reason That Isn’t Possible

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna is letting her inner political bad gyal show. The “Lift Me Up” singer’s billionaire status and wide-spanning business empire afford her endless luxuries. Still, some things are out of Rihanna’s reach, such as voting in US elections due to her non-resident status.

With the dozens of celebrity endorsements in the 2024 presidential campaign cycle, Rihanna appears to have shared her own. Today (November 4), Rihanna took to Instagram with a joke about the lengths she is willing to go to in order to cast her vote seemingly for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“When protecting pussies and firing pussies can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason,” read the post’s caption.

But the subtext placed over the video has followers literally laughing out loud. “POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #votecauseicant,” wrote Rihanna.

In all seriousness, voter fraud isn’t a laughing matter. However, the nature of Rihanna’s lighthearted line and humor personality users online could help but chuckle.

To avoid Rihanna’s upload being viewed as a potential legal matter, some fans have sent messages to Rihanna’s partner and fellow musician Asap Rocky, whom she shares two sons to keep a close eye on her.

No one wants to see Rihanna fighting a deportation case before her long-awaited album is released.

Rihanna Claps Back At Fan Who Questions Her U.S. Residency

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna is not a citizen of the United States. The pop superstar is one of the most famous Barbadians in modern history, and she’s celebrated this aspect of her culture in her music. She is, however, living in the United States, and a mother to two sons who are citizens. Rihanna decided to joke about her lack of U.S. citizenship during a recent Instagram post. Rihanna took a video of herself in the car and described it as an example of her trying to sneak into the polls to vote with her eldest son’s passport. She then dropped the hashtag “#votecauseicant.”

The post was well-received by fans, with many praising the singer’s decision to encourage her U.S. fans to vote. One Instagram user, however, took things in a different direction. The user kristopher_jordan hit up the pop star and questioned why she’s allowed to live in the United States. “How TF can you live here and been living here,” he asked. “If you aren’t a U.S. citizen?” Rihanna, without missing a beat, fired back at the user and wrote: “taxes dummy.” She also included a shrugging emoji, mocking the one that Jordan used in his initial message.

Rihanna Has Supported Kamala Harris For Years

Rihanna is famous for her social media clap backs. She has gotten into heated exchanges with fans and other celebrities alike, and usually comes out on top due to her blunt responses. The pop superstar has also made it known she would vote for Kamala Harris if she could. In the same IG post in which she joked about using her son’s passport, Rihanna included the hashtag “#tansuitseason.” This is a subtle nod to the suit color choices of Barack Obama, as well as Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign.

Furthermore, Rihanna’s Instagram caption made it clear that she was in favor of women’s rights. She voiced her support for Harris’ promise to restore reproductive rights after Donald Trump announced his plan to overturn Roe vs. Wade. “When protecting p**sies and firing p**sies can happen all in one vote,” she wrote. This is not the first time Rihanna has shown her support for Kamala Harris. When Joe Biden won the presidency, and Harris won the vice presidency, in 2020, the singer celebrated via Twitter. “The faces of history makers, boundary breakers and winners,” she asserted.

NASCAR Icon Danica Patrick Claims She Never Attended Diddy Parties

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Danica Patrick has been a vocal Donald Trump supporter throughout the 2024 election. The former NASCAR star has used her celebrity to endorse Trump, and criticize those who have put their weight behind Kamala Harris instead. This propensity to criticize the other side was made abundantly clear during a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday. Danica Patrick took the stage, and implied that she doesn’t have the skeletons in her closet that Harris’ celebrity supporters do.

The public denouncement of Diddy has become a trend among celebrities. The Bad Boy mogul had connections to seemingly everyone of note over the last three decades. Danica Patrick decided to make a Diddy denouncement a political act, however. The retired driver drew a parallel between entertainers who endorse Harris and those who were close with Diddy. “I never went to a Diddy party,” she asserted. “I’m doing this because I love this country. There’s nobody that’s been tested more than Donald Trump on showing his love for this country.” Danica Patrick then proceeded to call out one of Harris’ biggest celebrity supporters: Cardi B.

Danica Patrick Implies Harris Supporters Were Paid Off

Cardi B spoke at Kamala Harris’ rally on November 1. The rapper took to the stage to call Donald Trump a “hustler” and praise Harris as an underdog. Fans praised her words, while critics noted that she read her statement while reading from a phone. This is the point Danica Patrick decided to hone in on during her rally speech. She also suggested that people like Cardi and Beyonce had to be paid to show up and give their support to Harris. “Now I’m speaking. I’m not paid to be here,” the ex-driver asserted. “I don’t have a teleprompter. I’m winging this right now, everybody. I don’t need a telephone.”

Danica Patrick is not the first Trump supporter to align Harris supporters with Diddy affiliates. Elon Musk was particularly incensed when Eminem introduced Barack Obama at a Harris rally in Detroit. The 8 Mile icon made it clear that he was voting Harris, and Musk responded by making a Diddy joke at the rapper’s expense. He claimed Eminem was “yet another Diddy party participant.” This, of course, led many users to note that Musk and Diddy were reportedly close friends, and that Diddy allegedly invested $10 million in Musk’s Twitter acquisition.

GloRilla Defends Her Kamala Harris Rally Performance Amid So-So Crowd Claims

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla is one of many hip-hop artists who endorsed Kamala Harris in her campaign for president of the United States, which citizens will vote on tomorrow (Tuesday, November 5). In fact, she even popped out to perform at Harris’ rally in Milwaukee on Friday (November 1), offering a medley of her smash hits “TGIF,” “Yeah Glo!,” “HOLLON,” and more. But not everyone seems impressed with the live show, as some critics online posited that the crowd wasn’t really feeling it. Well, the Memphis femcee recently took to Twitter to directly combat this narrative, responding to a user who lamented the censorship of much of her lyrical material.

“GloRilla performing at Kamala Harris rally in Milwaukee. She had mute every other word to make it somewhat appropriate. The crowd is CLEARLY disappointed,” a Twitter user wrote. “Da crowd was lit you trippingggggg,” she quote-tweeted in response. While it’s certainly true that we’d rather head the GLORIOUS spitter uncensored, it’s a Kamala Harris rally; what did people expect? Either way, the amount of support and acclaim she garnered online shows that these moments transcend their physical boundaries and are about something greater, much like politics themselves.

GloRilla Responds To Kamala Harris Rally Critic

Other GloRilla fans are instead excited about her possible next career moves, including a teased collab project with Megan Thee Stallion. Whether or not this actually comes out is anyone’s guess, but there’s a lot of hope for it within their fanbases given their chemistry. It’s been a big year for Glo outside of electoral politics, dropping her debut album and a mixtape plus plenty of hot collaborations and singles. Hopefully this momentum persists into 2025, as hip-hop listeners have been bumping her hits all year.

Meanwhile, there are some Internet sleuths out there raising their eyebrows, but it’s not because of this Kamala Harris rally performance. It’s because of pregnancy rumors that GloRilla sparked during the GLORIOUS rollout, both through lyrical content and through baby bump pictures. Presumably, this could just be promo for a music video or something like that, as she sent various mixed signals on the subject. We’re sure that the near future will hold an answer.

Azealia Banks Goes Off On Cardi B’s “Eye-Gougingly Cringe” Kamala Harris Endorsement

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Azealia Banks went off on Cardi B for her “eye gougingly cringe” endorsement of Kamala Harris in Wisconsin, last week. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), over the weekend, Banks criticized the Invasion of Privacy rapper while also sending some stray shots at Nicki Minaj.

“Cardi HAS to stop doing that stupid latina shtick she does cause it’s forced and not real,” Banks wrote. “Sis is from 158th n Broadway. She’s a Washington heights Mami at the core. Dominican women intelligent as hell, the shtick is a WILD misrepresentation. She’s not even a true throrough bred Bronx rat like she acts like. She moved there at 14. One thing her and Nicki share is secret super intelligence masked by ridiculous chickenhead antics. They are both SUPER smart and well spoken but act r*tarded to seem relatable. They deserve each other’s friendship tbh. Just pull a ladies night 2025 alreadyyyy.”

From there, Banks took more shots at Nicki Minaj as well: “Because they both really act like these dirtbag women they f*cking aren’t. I’d bet $1,000 cardi b’s story about drugging and stealing from men was a lie. Just like nicki’s story about selling Crack was a f*cking lie lmaoo. Nicki went to F. H. LaGuardia. Us LaGuardia girls literally are compleeeeeeeeete f*cking NERDS. We’re way too uppity and dedicated to art to sell Crack lmaoooo. Like get f*cking real.”

Keel Kalmala: VP Harris Joins Maya Rudolph for ‘SNL’ Before Election Day

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared surprisedly on Saturday Night Live this weekend as a “mirror image” alongside her impersonator, Maya Rudolph, in the show’s final pre-election episode. The skit, which aimed at recent political headlines, opened with Rudolph’s Harris contemplating the unique challenges of being a Black, South Asian woman running for president, wishing she could talk to someone who understood. Harris then appeared, drawing cheers as she sat across from Rudolph, responding, “You and me both, sister.”

The two exchanged witty banter, with Harris poking fun at recent events, including Donald Trump’s rally appearance in a sanitation vest. Harris encouraged Rudolph’s character, saying, “You got this,” and quipped that she had the unique ability to “open doors”—a nod to recent gaffes and Trump’s symbolic struggle with the garbage truck door.

“You can do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors.”

The segment ended with playful rhymes on “Kamala,” including lines like “Kamala, take my palm-ala,” and “stop the chaos and end the drama-la.” Their humorous back-and-forth culminated in the iconic line, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”

Cardi B Clapped Back At Elon Musk’s Kamala Harris Campaign ‘Puppet’ Comment After The Rapper Delivered A Viral Endorsement Speech

November 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B is facing backlash after vowing not to vote in the 2024 presidential election then later publicly endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Although the “Bongos” rapper outlined her shift to supporters, Elon Musk isn’t quite sold.

Yesterday (November 2), Musk took to her personal X (formerly Twitter) page to call out Cardi B. In his post, he accused Cardi B of being a “puppet” for Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign. Never one to back down from a war of words, Cardi B clapped by at Musk’s remarks.

“I’m not a puppet Elon,” she wrote. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty, and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you.”

But Cardi B didn’t stop. She went on to turn the pages on Musk, writing: “But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle.”

Cardi closed with “PS fix my algorithm,” a dig at the controversial way Musk has been running the platform since acquiring Twitter back in October 2022.

While Cardi has faced much harsher remarks in the past, Musk should be weary of his words considering he is already facing a cyberbullying lawsuit filed by boxer Imane Khelif.

Cardi B Continues To Blast Haters After Kamala Harris Rally Speech: “I Worked So Hard”

November 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This Friday (November 1), Cardi B delivered a powerful speech at Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee. She touched on some key issues like healthcare, women’s rights, and the economy. Unfortunately, however, not everyone was a fan. Within no time she was receiving backlash online, which she wasted no time responding to.

Yesterday, the “Enough” rapper responded to one X user who accused her of accepting “a huge, undisclosed amount” of money for the speech. She quickly shut this rumor down and reminded social media users that she’s been discussing politics for free for years. Now, she’s hopped online to fire back at those who called her out for reading her speech from a phone due to technical difficulties involving the teleprompter.

According to Cardi, having three children and a hectic life like hers means that her memory isn’t always at 100%. “I worked so hard, bro. I worked so hard on my speech… And a lot of y’all talking about ‘Oh, why are you reading it from a phone?’ B*tch, I had to write that sh*t down… B*tch, I’m 32 years old b*tch, and I have three kids. My mind be f*cking racing all goddamn day, b*tch.” She continued, noting how she’ll even forget confrontations she’s rehearsed in her head. This is far from the first time Cardi’s had to come to her own defense, as last night, Elon Musk also hopped online with some harsh words.

He accused her of being a “puppet,” which she denied in no time. “I’m not a puppet Elon,” she began, “I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their a** off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm.” What do you think of Cardi B continuing to shut down critics following her speech at Kamala Harris’ rally?
