[WATCH] Kodak Black’s BM Claims His Daughter Is Afraid Of Him

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black has been in the news recently about his behavior on Kai Cenat’s “Mafiathon” livestream last week, but now, allegations are coming from a lot closer to home for Yak. Following the pill-popping debacle on Cenat’s show, the child of Black’s two-year-old daughter took to social media to speak about Yak’s family life, including the troubled relationship with his infant daughter.

Daijanae Ward, the mother of Black’s 2-year-old daughter Isabella who they call “Izzy”, took to social media to speak about the family dynamics between herself, Kodak and the daughter they share. After joking about her behavior, asking “where [she came] from”, Ward answered a question in her IG Live as to whether or not Yak feels the same about their daughter.

“He wouldn’t know ‘cause he don’t be around her,” Daijanae Ward said about Kodak’s relationship with Izzy. “He don’t know how the f**k my baby act, he don’t even know her.” Also, she insinuated that Isabella Kapri is afraid of the “Versatile” MC due to her actually seeing him being allegedly physically violent. “If he kept his hands to himself, she wouldn’t be so scared of him,” Ward added.

Ward claimed they started dating in 2017, whereas their daughter was born in 2022. In the Live, Ward also suggested that a paternity dispute had arisen, but insisted that the courts were arranging a DNA test.

Ray J And Amber Rose Pose In MAGA Hats After Trump Wins U.S. Election

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J and Amber Rose occupy an odd pocket in hip hop culture. Both are significant figures dating back a decade plus. That said, neither have played a direct role role in music in recent years, and they become more known for their antics than their careers. Some could argue their antics have become their careers. This definitely seemed the case on November 6. Amber Rose posted a photo alongside Ray J on her IG Story. Harmless enough? Well, the photo was made a bit more controversial by the fact that both celebs were wearing Donald Trump’s MAGA hat.

The timing of the post was not accidental. Trump won his second term as President on November 6, and Amber Rose has been a vocal supporter throughout his campaign. She was more than happy to get Ray J in on the celebration. “Look who I ran into,” she wrote over the photo. Ray sporting a MAGA hat is a bit more surprising than Rose, but not by much. The entertainer has been linked to Trump several times over the years. Usually, on his own accord. Ray J went on Hollywood Unlocked in 2020 and declared that the future U.S. President is “the homie.” He told host Jason Lee that he could get in touch with Trump in the span of a few minutes.

Ray J also met with Trump in 2022. The entertainer’s manager, David Weintraub, told People that Ray J and Trump spent the day at Mar-a-Lago golfing and talking about business ventures. “He just felt like it was a good time to talk about business and technology and Black empowerment,” Weintraub explained. “What he’s doing right now is he’s exploring options and creating relationships.” Ray J’s affiliation with Trump even led to a spat with fellow artist Kodak Black in 2023.

Ray went to the comment section on DJ Akademiks profile and claimed that Kodak acted disrespectfully when they both went to meet with Donald Trump. “I took him to Trump house and he did the most,” Ray J claimed. “They were not happy with the experience bc he had no guidance and respect. Let’s figure out how we can help this guy instead of watching him self destruct.” Wack 100 dismissed the claims that the Florida rapper misbehaved. Kodak Black himself, denied these allegations during his appearance on the Drink Champs podcast. Regardless, Ray J’s opinion of Trump is seemingly stronger than ever.

[WATCH] Kodak Black Raises Concerns About His Opioid Addiction Following His Bizarre Behavior On Kai Cenat Livestream

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black had admittedly been fighting problems with addiction since before his 2019 incarceration and declared himself sober after his presidential clemency release by President Trump in 2021, but now those concerns have been raised once again following his appearance on Kai Cenat’s livestream early this week.

Kodak joined the famed streamer’s 30-day “Mafiathon” livestream and his behavior immediately caught the attention of all who witnessed his behavior, which many observers described as “tweaking”, a description given to those who are visibly intoxicated or high.

The “Super Gremlin” rapper was sweating profusely and rambling while talking for a large portion of his appearance. At one point, Black even successfully lands a seal shot, where he threw a pill (presumably a Percocet) in the air and caught it in his mouth, which stunned Cenat, who questioned Kodak about what he’s just popped in his mouth. Kodak replied, “It was a glitch for the Twitch.”

Earlier this year, Kodak admitted on IG Live that he had a serious problem with Percocets, saying, “I remember a point in my life when I was chewing a lot of Percs. I’m proud of myself. I’ve never been this happy in my life. I don’t know where this came from, what the fuck going on.”

He added, “Before I just went to jail — I can talk about this because it’s my testimony, ain’t no shame in my shit — I was taking at least 100 Percs. My average was 40 Percocets… to the point where I look at this shit and be like, ‘What the fuck was wrong with me, bruh?’”

With an acute relapse visibly on the horizon, it’s safe to say that Kodak needs to get help before he faces the same fate of so many addicts, both unknown and famous, have faced since the beginning of the opioid crisis in this country almost a decade ago.

Kodak Black Responds To Reports Of Him Popping A Percocet On Kai Cenat’s Livestream

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black’s well-being is something that his fans have always been worried about. It’s a constant cycle that hovers over the rapper’s head and it’s something that he addresses regularly. Sometimes, there are others that tease him for his addictions, which is never a cool thing to do. But generally speaking, there is a lot of genuine concern. That was the case earlier this week following his appearance on Kai Cenat’s livestream. Part of the reason for the collaboration is because Kai recently began his Mafiathon 2 subathon event in which he streams 24/7 for the entire month. Throughout their time on camera together, Kodak looked to have been under the influence.

His behavior was all over the place, with several clips documenting some truly bizarre actions. One of the most shocking moments that really had everyone’s jaws on the floor was when Yak seemingly popped a Percocet with thousands of people watching. Lots of other outlets reported on this on top of tons of social media users reposting the video. It was only a matter of time before Kodak eventually came across the noise surrounding this livestreaming. He responded to all of the speculation, jokes, and worried folks out there and let’s just say he doesn’t want to hear any of it.

Kodak Black Dismisses Fans’ Support & Criticisms

According to AllHipHop, he says that “y’all be so f***ing butthurt,” and that, “Y’all don’t like a n**** anyway.” He dismisses everybody further claiming that everyone is upset, broke, lacking motion, or trying to take advantage of him and weasel their way into his life. Later in the video, Kodak says he just wants to vibe and life his life, essentially. “I’m just Yak, bro. Aint s*** changed, that’s how I came in this b****… I wake up like this. If anything, give me drugs. Give me drugs, and I’ll chill. When I’m not high, when I ain’t higher than a b****, I’m vibing. When I’m high, I’m in my coma bruh, I ain’t talking to nobody ‘cuz I’m getting high.” He would go on to block people talking down on him and says that this is his vice and that no one is perfect.

What are your thoughts on Kodak Black’s response to all of the reports, fans, and haters following his time on Kai Cenat’s stream? Does he make any valid points in the video? 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 Kodak Black.

Lil Tjay Blasts Kai Cenat And “Racist” Adin Ross For Exploiting Rappers

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Tjay is fed up. The rapper decided to stir the pot by calling out streamers Kai Cenat and Adin Ross for exploiting hip hop culture. Lil Tjay not only insulted the streamers on his Instagram Story, but proceeded to give fans additional context after him and Ross had a DM exchange. The rapper also decided to stick up for Kodak Black, following Kodak’s controversial appearance on a Cenat stream. Many fans believed that Kodak should not have been featured by the streamer, given his intoxicated appearance.

Lil Tjay started off with a very direct shot. He posted a screenshot of Kodak Black and Kai Cenat from their aforementioned stream. He also included a brutal message. “I fake hate this kid,” he wrote. “Him and [Adin] the biggest d riders in life.” It was only a matter of time before the streamers responded, and Lil Tjay made sure of this by sliding into Adin Ross’ DMs with more insults. He called the streamer a “d*ck sucker,” which prompted a confused response. “Me and Kai always show nothing but love to you,” Ross posited. “Gotta stop taking them percs that sh*t f*cking with ya head.”

Lil Tjay did not appreciate Ross’ response. The rapper decided to hop on Instagram Live and speaks directly to fans regarding the situation. “I told Adin he a culture vulture, he told me I’m on percs,” the rapper claimed. “I don’t take percs, don’t take drugs.” Tjay proceeded to call Ross a “racist” for his drug-related comments. “F*ckin’ racist n**ga,” he added. “I look like I take percs because I’m black, right? I know.” Lil Tjay claims that he sent Ross a voice memo detailing all the issues he has with him, then claimed that Ross refused to listen to it.

Tjay then turned the focus towards Kodak Black. “Stop looking at Yak like he a weirdo,” he asserted. “No, sometimes that’s how rappers act. In our society, that’s how we act.” He then doubled down on the claim that Adin Ross is a racist and a “culture vulture.” The bulk of Lil Tjay’s issues seem to be with Ross, given that few of his comments seem directly aimed at Kai Cenat. He also alleged that Ross uses people to get to the top, then throws them away for the next popular rapper. Ross has yet to respond to these damning remarks.

Kodak Black Leaves Fans Floored Following Worrisome Appearance On Kai Cenat’s Livestream

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kai Cenat is the midst of Mafiathon 2, which is a month-long streaming event that’s lasting for the entire month of November. He’s going to be live every minute of each day and it’s help him raise money while becoming the most subscribed Twitch streamer. So far, a few celebrities have popped out for this, including Lil Uzi Vert and Miranda Cosgrove. Kodak Black is the latest to show up for Kai Cenat, but things grew more and more concerning throughout the livestream. According to AllHipHop, multiple clips from last night have quickly gone viral of the Florida rapper appearing to be gone for most of his time on-screen.

There’s even a time during the livestream in which Kodak appears to take Percocet. While Kai monitors the chat, his guest looks to toss a white tab into the air and catch it in his mouth. The streamer stopped the music immediately and was left totally speechless. Additionally, there a few instances where Kodak was either twitching, sounding incoherent, or just sort of floating mentally. At one point, fans of Kai tuning in were typing mean things about Kodak and even asking for Uzi to come back instead.

The hitmaker noticed the comments and he was clearly hurt by it. He even asked to leave, and Kai did his best to show that some of his viewers were wanting him to stay. Overall, we feel terrible for the rapper, and we continue to wish him the best following this. Kodak has been vocal about feelings of loneliness and open about his drug addiction this year on multiple occasions.

Kodak Black Shoots His Shot At Zendaya On Bold New Song “Versatile”

November 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is going to do or say whatever he wants. It’s the attribute that has landed him in prison several times throughout his career. It’s also helped him accumulate a die-hard fanbase and a highly successful career. Pros and cons, obviously. Kodak Black decided to showcase his boldness in an unexpected way on his new album, Dieuson Octave. The album is packed with standard bars about enemies and flexing, but the song “Versatile” sees the rapper shoot his shot with superstar actress Zendaya.

It’s somewhat ironic that Kodak Black has a song highlighting his versatility. His music can be enjoyable, but few, if anyone, would describe him as versatile. We digress. The rapper dedicates a whole section of the song to Zendaya, and the crush he’s seemingly had on her for years. “Tell Zendaya I’d like to meet her,” the Florida superstar raps. “Had crush on her since she was on Shake It Up. Seen her on Disney I think she pretty and she fit me and like her name ‘cuse I’m Z’d up.” Shake It Up is the Disney show that gave Zendaya her start. Kodak Black also brags about being Z’d up, which means being drunk and high at the same time.

Kodak Black Voiced His Desire To Meet Zendaya In 2022

The rapper’s Zendaya crush checks out. He voiced a similar desire to meet the Emmy winner during a 2022 interview with HipHopDX. Kodak claimed that he wanted to audition for Shake It Up as a kid as an excuse to meet the actress. “I wanted to audition for Shake It Up so I could push up on Zendaya,” he said. The rapper also claimed that he wanted to audition for Nickelodeon, and that fans don’t realize how good of an actor he can be. “Just, just stay tuned,” he teased. “I know how to act.”

This is not the first time Kodak Black has publicized one of his celebrity crushes. The rapper actually took a lot of heat when he expressed interest in Lauren London in 2019. It wasn’t that he was interested in the singer, it’s that she had just lost her partner, Nipsey Hussle, a week before Kodak Black decided to shoot his shot. “I’ll give her a whole year,” he noted during an Instagram Live. “She might need a whole year to be crying and s*** for him… [I’ll] be the best man I can be for her.” Needless to say, London did not reciprocate.

Kodak Black Releases ‘Dieusun Octave’ Mixtape, Drops Visual For “Catch Fire”

November 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, charismatic multi-platinum rapper Kodak Black drops his brand new mixtape Dieuson Octave via Vulture Love / Capitol Records. Fans got a taste of the stacked new set on Halloween day with the release of reflective lead track “Catch Fire”

Kodak’s latest project is named after the Pompano Beach, Florida, artist himself — Dieuson Octave is his birth name, and “Catch Fire” in particular feels personal. Over a slightly somber L Beats production, Kodak sets the scene: “I made a lot of money, spent most of it making a bail / Doing whatever I feel and getting away like a pit bull tryna chase his tail.” His voice is warm as he considers his grandmother, his newborn son, and what his lifestyle means to those around him.

The “Catch Fire” cover art features a surreal photo of Kodak’s actual car in flames after the gas line started leaking on the highway — an incident that took place while the rap star was filming his first Kick livestream.

Kodak Black Is Back & Opening Up On “Dieuson Octave”

November 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is a deceptively versatile artist. On the outside, it may not seem like it and it also sounds like he wouldn’t be. His warbly and sometimes flat-out indiscernible voice doesn’t come across as something you can copy and paste outside of the trap subgenre. However, we have seen him work with the likes of Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, and Anuel AA. But outside of features, he can tap into other tones and subjects. He’s not just about debauchery, violence, and flexing. Over time we have heard Kodak get deeply personal and honest. In fact, it was just around this time last year that we heard the Florida talent painfully rapping on When I Was Dead.

After taking some time to release a posse mixtape with his Vulture Love collective, Kodak Black is back on that energy with Dieuson Octave. For those who don’t know, the title is his government name. As such, the Pompano Beach resident is giving listeners a peek into his mind and his life experiences. He ponders and speaks out loud about the things that weigh on him too. Whether it’s his past, relationships (intimate or not), or loneliness, he’s an open book. In typical fashion, there wasn’t much of a rollout for Dieuson Octave. There was just one track released ahead of the eight-song tape and that was “Catch Fire.” What’s more is that it was dropped off on Halloween, one day ahead of the project. Still, fans should be able to appreciate Kodak’s personable approach and newcomers will learn more about the man behind the rap superstar.

Yeat Reveals Stacked Features For Upcoming Album “LYFESTYLE”

October 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yeat’s buzz is bigger than ever. The rapper has been steadily building his following up, and refining his sound. LYFESTYLE, his upcoming album, is poised to be his commercial breakthrough, though. All the information we’ve heard surrounding the album has only served to increase the excitement for what’s to come. Yeat recently sat down for an interview with The Fader, and he not only spoke on the sound of the album, but released the list of artists who will feature. It’s about time.

Yeat already released the tracklist for LYFESTYLE, which sits at 21 songs, but the features were initially hidden. It was assumed that we would all have to wait until the album dropped to find out who was on the album, and who wound up on the cutting room floor. Thankfully, Yeat took mercy on us and revealed who will appear. The list did not disappoint. Yeat will have guest features from rap superstars like Kodak Black and Lil Durk. There will also be hooks from Don Toliver and acts like Summrs and Lazer Dim 700. Yeat is known for his rage style, which often blurs genre lines, but he told The Fader that he’s going full hip hop this time around.

Yeat Will Focus On Rap Collabs For His New Album

“LYFESTYLE [is] basically just my normal rap sh*t,” Yeat explained. “It’s not futuristic, it’s not like a whole different world. It’s the most polished I’ve ever came with the rap sh*t.” The features Yeat chose serve to support this narrative. Lil Durk, Kodak and Don Toliver are some of the most conventional rappers that he has worked with to date. Yeat has worked with stars like Drake before, but even then, the 6 God adapted to his rage style. It’ll be fascinating to hear how people like Durk and Kodak sounds on Yeat beats.

Those who prefer Yeat’s more experimental sound needn’t worry. The rapper told the outlet that his next album is already in the works. It will departure from LYFESTYLE in that it will sound like a refined version of 2093. “I don’t know when it’s going to come out, but it’s kind of like 2093,” he noted. “But a lot more refined. We’ve been spending a lot of time creating that sound in tandem with the LYFESTYLE sound for a couple months.” We can’t wait to hear it all.
