Punch TDE Hilariously Responds To A Supposed Drake Fan’s Claims That His Label Is Full Of “Thugs”

by

Regardless of how so many people feel that Kendrick Lamar is the winner of the Drake battle, there are still going to be others that disagree. The amount of time that has passed since its end also has no effect on it whatsoever neither. One supposed fan of The Boy who goes by aubreysattorney on Twitter (X) sounds like someone who will defend him to the death. Well, that is certainly true because this Drake supporter is making assertions that the entire TDE label is full of “thugs”. In the tweet below, they list of numerous events/subplots from the beef and how the imprint has “threaten[ed]” foes of Kendrick in some way.

“J Cole responds to Kendrick dissing him: TDE thug Schoolboy Q threatens him. Big Sean puts out a song: TDE thug DJ Hed threatens him. Lupe Fiasco says Drake should buy Reasonable Doubt: TDE thug Ab-soul threatens him. B Dot says Drake is good: TDE thug Punch threatens him”.

Punch TDE Spells Out What “THUG” Means To Drake Stan

The Twitter user has since sparked a heated debate with these claims amongst the community with some calling him a “racial agitator”, for example. This semi-viral message popped up on the TDE CEO’s (Punch) feed, and it led him to respond in the perfect way. Punch decided to clarify for the viewers what this Drake fan means by “thug”, and it apparently is an acronym. It stands for “Truly Humble United Gathering Souls”, which is such a hilarious polar opposite. Overall, all Punch could do was laugh it off.

What are your thoughts on this Drake fan on Twitter calling TDE a bunch of thugs? How do you feel about Punch TDE’s response to these claims? Does this say anything about the Canadian rapper’s fan base as a whole? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Clown Drake With Kendrick Lamar Meme After Their Toronto Shows

by

We’re never, ever, ever going to hear the end of the whole Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef, are we? Moreover, even some massive rock bands are hopping on the fun, so this could very much be a pop culture mainstay for the foreseeable future. The Red Hot Chili Peppers recently celebrated their run of Toronto shows and thanked their fans in the city for a great time. Sounds innocent enough, right? Well, they chose to do so by putting a picture of K.Dot waving goodbye in the “Not Like Us” music video on their Instagram Story, so they couldn’t resist showing the 6ix love by teasing them at least a little bit as proud Los Angeles band mates.

Furthermore, this comes amid rumors that Drake will reignite the Kendrick Lamar feud through some subliminal shots on a future release. Given just how much the 6ix God sends sneak disses out, was this really a surprising speculative theory to anyone who came across DJ Akademiks’ recent remarks on it? Nevertheless, it will definitely be interesting to see how both MCs reference their battle, if at all, in future material. Either way, fans will definitely comb each and every syllable looking for possible escalations.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Plant Their Flag In The Kendrick Lamar & Drake Beef

What’s more is that some recent developments might suggest that the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef is affecting other artists directly. For example, you’ve probably heard all the conspiracies around ScHoolboy Q’s canceled Toronto show and how Drizzy might’ve played a role in shutting it down. This is all just speculative, so take it with a grain of salt, but there’s actually some relatively indicative information that there could be some shady stuff at play. The biggest indicator of this, ironically enough, is the Toronto superstar’s IG Story after news of this broke.

Meanwhile, other corners of pop culture have more interesting reactions and assessments of the whole beef. Steph Curry is one celebrity who’s already tired of “Not Like Us,” whereas others like LeBron James are still loving it. We’ll see whether or not Drake has anything else to directly add to this situation, or if he has smoke for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Will Anthony Kiedis have some bars for Aubrey?

Wack 100 Reveals Why He Didn’t Attend Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out”

by

After talking a whole lot about Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” concert in Los Angeles on Juneteenth, Wack 100 finally revealed why he didn’t attend during a recent interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV. Moreover, he first clarified that he’s got a close relationship with K.Dot and TDE, and that his absence wasn’t because of any beef. Apparently, previous scheduling and commitments, such as rebuilding a podcast studio and tech issues the day of the show, prevented the music executive from showing up. In fact, he said that he only remembered the concert was going down once a friend texted him after it ended. Finally, Wack said that he doesn’t feel the need to attend every one of Kendrick’s events due to their strong connections and his respect and appreciation for the Compton native’s music.

Previously, Wack 100 explained why his client The Game wasn’t at Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” either. “If Kendrick or anybody from that camp needed Game, he would’ve been there,” he remarked, adding that his appearance would’ve taken away from the spotlight on more current and young acts. Of course, a lot of fans instead presumed that there were issues between Game and Kendrick’s camp given some previous alleged rifts and the former’s relationship with Drake. But it seems like things are still not as clear.

Wack 100 Explains Why He Didn’t “Pop Out” At Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth L.A. Show

“I don’t think Kendrick set out to unite the Crips and Bloods,” Wack 100 said of Kendrick Lamar’s “monumental” Juneteenth performance. “That wasn’t his angle. I think Kendrick set out to pull up those up-and-coming, underground artists of greater L.A. I don’t think Kendrick’s whole thing was to unite the Crips and Bloods. His whole thing was to show unity amongst all. And, guess what? If you one of those that’s been hustling and been getting it, and you just so happen to be a Crip, or Blood, or whatever you may be, it’s, ‘Come on. We welcoming all with open arms.’”

Meanwhile, Wack 100 probably has bigger fish to fry right now. A judge blocked his attempt to bail Keefe D out of prison, and it’s unclear how that Tupac murder case will progress. Still, we’re sure we will get some sort of update sooner rather than later. Let’s see what future statements will shed more light on that debacle or on the West Coast dynamics of “The Pop Out.”

Drake’s Toronto Mansion Suffers From Torrential Flood And All Kendrick Lamar Fans Can Do Is Troll Him

by

According to the Toronto Star, a severe rainfall advisory issued on Sunday (July 14) wrapped up late Monday and into Tuesday. It affected Toronto as well as the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and it was a near record-breaking amount of rain. Almost four inches marks the fifth wettest day and it led to road and highway closures and many power outages. In fact, around 167,000 customers of a local Toronto electrical company were without basic amenities, according to CNN. About three TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) subway stations were also dealing with floods, and it seems they were a key culprit in transferring a lot of water nearby. Even Drake’s Toronto palace, aka “The Embassy”, was not safe either from the torrential downpour.

The Boy posted a short video to his Instagram story yesterday of frankly nasty looking yellow water rushing into his home. Other images show that the flood was affecting his basement, which is where he has his hall of jerseys. Even though this clearly a stressful situation, Drake was trying to make light of it. “This better be espresso martini”, the Canadian rapper wrote on his Story.

Kendrick Fans Cannot Resist Teasing Drake Amid The Flood

Other people “brightening the mood” were Kendrick Lamar fans, as they continue to torment Drake at every turn. Even with something so unrelated as a flood is not enough to stop his opposing fanbase from raining down the jokes. According to AllHipHop there are slew of trollers taunting the “Push Ups” artist on X and here are some of the funniest tweets. “Kendrick Lamar not recycling so global warming floods Drake’s mansion… He might really be the GOAT”, one user writes. “Kendrick brought the biblical flood to Drake”, says another.

What are your thoughts on the massive flood taking over Drake’s Toronto mansion? What has been the funniest joke you have seen made about this from Kendrick Lamar fans? How much damage do you think this flood could wind up doing? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Kendrick Lamar Eclipses Drake In Monthly Spotify Listeners Following Success Of “Not Like Us”

by

Kendrick Lamar can notch another one in win column against Drake as he now has more monthly Spotify listeners. The NFR Podcast shared a side-by-side comparison of their accounts on the DSP giant and the proof is all there. While Kendrick is now in front of his Canadian foe, it is not by an astonishing amount. As you can see, the Compton kid is only ahead by 29,032. But at the end of the day, it is a higher number, and it is still an incredible feat. Especially because Drake is almost always at the top when it comes to rappers with the most monthlies.

However, with Kendrick surpassing him, this now makes him the second-highest MC in this category. The only other artist ahead of Kung Fu Kenny is Eminem. Overall, it makes sense because the Detroit spitter just put out The Death of Slim Shady over the weekend. The album is projected to sell around 300,000 units and should be a chart topper. Sure, Kendrick is coming off the rousing music video for his nail-in-the-coffin diss track, “Not Like Us”.

But with Slim Shady already having a sizeable advantage in monthly listeners prior to that, it is clear that Lamar might have to drop something else to take the crown. There is a rumor that he may release a new album in the fall, but we will have to wait and see. Currently, Em is at a whopping 84.2 million, which is good enough for eighth in the entire world. Lamar is at 13, while Drake is not too far back at 14.

What are your thoughts on Kendrick Lamar sneaking past Drake in monthly Spotify listeners? Are you surprised it took this long for him to do so, why or why not? Could Lamar surpass Eminem if he drops his rumored album this year? What songs from the Compton rapper have you been bumping lately? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Returns To No. 1 Following Music Video Hype

by

Kendrick Lamar is back on top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts, as “Not Like Us” returned to the No. 1 spot this week after the release of its music video. Moreover, it becomes his longest-running chart-topper with two weeks, and it follows shifts within the top ten of the charts since the song’s initial release. Specifically, it was at number three last week, and shuffled between spots two and six in the eight weeks between its two chart-topping weeks. All in all, this goes to show that there is still a lot of interest in bumping this song over and over, and we’ll see how long the hype lasts.

Furthermore, whether or not you think that Kendrick Lamar and company are “milking” this Drake beef and “Not Like Us,” it seems like most people are just content with enjoying the moment and the song instead of roping in Drizzy into everything. For example, Kendrick supporter and fellow West Coaster Wack 100 chose to recently talked about the music video itself, arguing that there’s still a lot of gang unity needed in Los Angeles that this video couldn’t achieve. As such, everyone’s got this moment in the rearview mirror still: we’re not fully demanding more, but we’re not wholly forgetting about it anytime soon, either.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Goes No. 1 Again

Also, this comes as “Not Like Us” is possibly gaining life as an anti-Kendrick Lamar sentiment, at least according to fans. Die-hards were quick to comment on Lil Wayne singing the hook of the song during a recent performance of the Drake collab “The Motto,” and he sang “They not like us” while seemingly holding his OVO pendant. Did Weezy say that to troll K.Dot and use his words against him or is he just singing the hook for fun and making light of the battle? Either way, conspiracy theories and hypothetical rap battle matchups are rampant.

Meanwhile, we’ll see whether or not Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” will have more chart-topping weeks, or if this is its last breath as a No. 1 hit. We’re sure people will still play the track regardless, so we’ll see how far they can take it. As folks learn of his and Dave Free’s creative process for pgLang, there’s a lot of excitement over what could come next. So let’s strap in, keep enjoying this West Coast banger if we want to, and wait patiently for the next astonishment.

Drake Seemingly Harassed By Man Reciting Kendrick Lamar’s Lyrics, But Fans Don’t Buy It

by

While Drake hasn’t made many public appearances amid his Kendrick Lamar battle, we can only imagine the attacks that many people would throw his way if he faced a crowd. But a recent clip going viral online indicates that this may have already started. Moreover, in the video below, you can seemingly hear someone say that Drizzy “likes them young” and is probably talking to “a minor” in reference to those “Not Like Us” lyrics. However, according to various commenters, this is an old clip that someone has simply voiced over, so this didn’t actually happen to The Boy in this particular instance. It’s the sort of thing that probably convinces his defeatist argument that rap is a joke.

Furthermore, even Sexyy Red chimed into the comments section of the post below to call out how corny this harassment was, whether the clip is actually true or if the harassment is instead in the form of spreading a doctored video around to make the 6ix God look bad or like a victim. Still, it speaks to the idea that people want to see Drake confront these accusations more directly. Even Charlamagne Tha God thinks that rappers are still baiting him out for more bars and more disses. While that theory is pretty unsubstantiated and seems to misinterpret regular old discourse, it’s clear that “The Heart Part 6” wasn’t enough for some fans while that others think it should remain the last musical move in this saga.

The Allegedly Fake Clip Of A Kendrick Lamar Fan Harassing Drake

As for the people who would say something like this to Drake in person and want to play games… They’ve got bigger issues within themselves to handle, if an OVO security guard doesn’t get to them first. Sadly, we’re sure that both him and Kendrick Lamar will face this sort of thing in the future from their rivals’ supporters. Maybe the superstars should take LL Cool J’s advice, which was specifically for the Toronto MC. “You’ll be fine, bro,” he told Aubrey via a recent interview with Charlamagne Tha God. “You just don’t take it personal… You can’t be overly sensitive. I get it. I been there, I know it. It can be upsetting… But you gotta control that.”

Meanwhile, at least there are more Drake stories popping up these days that don’t have anything to do with this beef or its accusations against both artists. For example, Toccara Jones recently reflected on how she and Melyssa Ford found out that they were both dating him at the same time. It’s certainly just gossip that is as relevant as the other salacious asides during the battle. But at least we don’t have to open up the entire can of worms this time around.

DJ Akademiks Thinks Kendrick Lamar’s Camp Is Too Obsessed With The Drake Beef

by

DJ Akademiks has been arguably the fieriest commentator amid the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, and his OVO repping keeps getting more and more heated. Moreover, he recently responded to shady Ab-Soul tweets and the general reception to the “Not Like Us” video, as well as rumors that either K.Dot or Drizzy are looking for a round two. Well, Ak has a pretty different perspective, accusing Kendrick’s camp of milking this beef and trying to bait The Boy into another response. This rant seemingly occurred during the same livestream in which he trolled artists for not having or getting Kendrick features despite their participation in The Pop Out show or the aforementioned music video.

“So my last thoughts on this is a pathetic attempt, I believe, by pgLang and TDE to try to bait Drake out,” DJ Akademiks remarked. “Talking about ‘redemption is not off the table.’ N***a, listen, call me the spokesperson for Drake or OVO, but I can tell you, n***a. Drake is gonna drop amazing music, it’s gonna be good. If you think he gon’ keep going back and forth with that n***a calling him a pedophile and lying, he’s not. So move on, hurry along, and y’all go drop y’all music. See you n***as on the f***ing charts. That’s it, okay? That’s it. There’s no more conversation, that’s it.”

DJ Akademiks Wants Kendrick Lamar To Stop “Milking” The Drake Beef

Of course, there are a lot of rumors around what Drake will drop next, with some like DJ Akademiks claiming that it won’t have anything to do with Kendrick Lamar and others anticipating more shots. We won’t really know until more new music comes out, but we doubt that the Toronto superstar wouldn’t have a subliminal bar or two over this situation in the future. As for his Compton rival, perhaps his supposed new album will focus more on the West Coast or on other topics that aren’t “Other Vaginal Option”-related. What are you betting on?

Meanwhile, even Siri is glitching out over this battle, and to see its crossovers into pop culture is a pretty comical and curious affair. DJ Akademiks doesn’t want this to keep progressing, but there are a whole lot of fans who say otherwise. We’ll see what sides of their duality these MCs choose to feed into. But what’s true is that on both sides, there are plenty of people who want to speak on behalf of these artists and dig the hole deeper down a combative path.

DJ Akademiks Clowns YG & Roddy Ricch For Not Getting Kendrick Lamar Features

by

DJ Akademiks has a question for all the West Coast artists that supported Kendrick Lamar publicly for The Pop Out, the “Not Like Us” music video, and his beef with Drake in general. Moreover, he seems to think that these artists should be demanding features from K.Dot, and insinuated that they aren’t happy with him just having them dance in his content instead of supporting their careers as well. While Ak didn’t name any artists in particular, it’s clear that he spoke generally of artists like YG, Roddy Ricch, Tyler, The Creator, and others. Regardless of whether you agree with this metric, folks got a heavy streaming boost from The Pop Out, so what’s the real issue here?

“If anything, let’s talk about this,” DJ Akademiks began his latest rant. “For everybody that was at The Pop Out or at the cookout or at the f***ing ‘Not Like Us’ video, when are y’all n***as gon’ get y’all goddamn Kendrick features? Don’t tell me y’all n***as is just extras in the music video or just on stage to be on stage. When are y’all getting y’all Kendrick features? That’s what we should talk about. When?

“Drake gon’ be good,” DJ Akademiks continued. “When are y’all getting y’all features? Because it’s only so long y’all can hold the pom-poms for Kendrick without realizing you’re an artist, too! He brought you up there to dance, n***a, this s**t ain’t gon’ get your bank account filled. All this… When are you getting your features? Oh, you not getting your features. Oh, it’s not happening. He gave you the look in the music video. That’s it? Oh! Oh, he’s back in New York? Oh!

“When are y’all gon’ get y’all cash out for showing up on stage and dancing like a bunch of motherf***ing clowns up there, doing all this s**t?” DJ Akademiks concluded. “When are y’all gon’ get the features that gon’ help y’all s**t? I just want to know!” With all the new music rumors going around about both Kendrick Lamar and Drake, it’s very possible that this issue Ak is presenting will not age very well.
