Tyler The Creator Has Been Accused Of Making ‘Racist Sh*t’ Following The Release Of His Latest Single ‘Thought I Was Dead’

by

Tyler The Creator has been called many things throughout his career. But, a new accusation thrown onto the “St. Chroma” rapper’s jacket has fans hip-hop fans furious.

A line in Tyler The Creator’s latest Chromakopia single, “Thought I Was Dead,” didn’t sit well with famed producer Mike Dean. “White boys mockin’ this sh*t and y’all mad at me? Y’all can suck my d*ck / Pull up old tweets, pull up old t-shirts, all that, I moonwalk over that b*tch,” raps Tyler in the track’s opening verse.

Shortly after learning about the line, in an Instagram comment (viewable here) Mike Dean accused Tyler’s bars of being racist. “Racist sh*t,” he wrote.

Tyler hasn’t responded to Mike Dean’s call-out. However, users online have turned to script on Mike Dean. “Mike Dean is much of a troll as Tyler don’t take this serious,” penned one user.

Others stood in full support of Tyler’s bar, alleging that it was a necessary did at Lil Yachty’s artist Ian.

“Racist for stating FACTS? This gaslighting ass sh*t outta here,” chimed another.

“Tyler’s comments were thought-provoking and deserve thoughtful discussion. As an artist, he often uses provocative language to challenge perspectives,” added another.

This isn’t the first time Tyler has supposedly addressed Ian’s entry into the culture. Back in August, during an appearance on SpringHill’s Mavericks With Mav Carter podcast seemingly called out those propping Ian up, saying: “[There’s] this white kid, regular Caucasian man, and he’s like mocking Future and Gucci Mane… like rap music. People are like, ‘this sh*t hard.’ It’s not even like satire… I hold rap music so close to my heart. This sh*t changed my life and everyone’s life around me.”

Mariah The Scientist Admits To Dating Lil Yachty After He Denied The Rumors

by

Mariah the Scientist and Lil Yachty have had a bizarre relationship over the years. The R&B singer and rapper have been hounded by dating rumors dating back to 2022. Mariah the Scientist has been quiet about her feelings toward Yachty, but the latter has claimed that there was never romance between the two of them. Mariah the Scientist broke her silence on the topic of Boat during her recent appearance on Caresha Please. The singer stated, without a doubt, that she dated Lil Yachty.

The podcast host asked whether Mariah the Scientist had ever written songs about Lil Yachty, given how long they have known each other. The singer was reluctant to answer at first. After a long pause, though, she let the cat out of the bag. “We dated,” she said. “I [actually] met him in high school, but by the time I got to college we started dating a little bit.” Mariah the Scientist attributed their break up to the fact that Lil Yachty’s career exploded. “I was just a broke college student,” she noted. Shortly before they parted ways, however, Mariah wrote the rapper two songs.

Mariah The Scientist Claims She Dated Boat In College

Mariah the Scientist claimed she gifted Lil Yachty the songs on an iPod, but that he refused to listen to them. “He said, ‘I don’t wanna Joan you,’” the singer recalled. “‘So I’m not listening to this sh*t.’” This is a far cry from what Lil Yachty said about their relationship on Twitter in 2023. The rapper voiced frustration over fans questioning him, and insisted there was nothing between him and Mariah. “Why do y’all keep trying me over this woman,” he tweeted. “I been [quiet] for so long but please stop making up this weird a*s false narrative.” Boat also criticized the singer for not speaking out against the rumors. “And the fact Mariah just let all these lies go is weird on me,” he added.

Lil Yachty was even accused of getting a friend of Mariah’s pregnant. He promptly denied this, and took fans to task for getting caught up in fake drama. “This is also just not true,” he noted. “Lmao they were never friends…. EVER never met. Rarely ever had a full conversation. [They] just followed each other… U R WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!” Lil Yachty has not responded to Mariah the Scientist’s latest claims. He’s busy going back and forth with another female artist, Karrahbooo. The former Concrete Boys rapper claimed Boat had help writing his last solo album, and denied these allegations via Twitter.

Lil Yachty Has Been Accused Of Stealing His ‘We Ball Forever’ Video Concept From Another Rapper

It seems like Lil Yachty just can’t catch a break. Over the past several months, the “Sorry Not Sorry” rapper has been at the center of multiple controversial moments.

Those online frenzies included a public spat with former Concrete Boys rapper Karrahbooo, backlash from his thoughts on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, the seeming end of his podcast, and leaking a song with an uncleared sample. Now, Lil Yachty had been accused of stealing the creative direction of another rapper.

Yesterday (October 20), Curtis Williams (formerly of the ATL rap crew Two-9) took to his official Instagram page he slammed Lil Yachty’s “We Ball Forever” music video.

In a post shared to Williams’ Instagram stories, the rapper suggested that Lil Yachty stole the video treatment for “We Ball Forever” from him. With a side-by-side image, Williams compared the teaser visual for his unreleased song to Lil Yachty’s latest music video.

“LMAO COME ON NOW,” wrote Williams.

Although Williams didn’t specify what areas he felt slighted by, but the screenshot of each project, followers assumed that it was the fish eye lens effect. Others suggested that the two rapper’s flows and song production also shared similarities.

While, Lil Yacthy hasn’t issued a response, his following jumped in to shut down Curtis Williams’ claim.

Lil Yachty Releases Three New Songs In One Day: ‘All Around The World,’ ‘Cry Me A River,’ And ‘We Ball Forever’

by

As prolific and combative as rap has been this year, the one rapper who could be said to have been more productive than almost any other (while staying stubbornly uninvolved in any of the various beef that’s been going on) is Lil Yachty. He’s worked with everyone from BIA to Pharrell (twice) and dropped a slew of tracks ranging from grungy rock to boisterous battle rap.

And, apparently, he’s just getting warmed up. On Sunday (October 20), he released videos for three new songs: “All Around The World,” “Cry Me A River,” and “we Ball Forever.” Each of the three songs displays a different side of the Atlanta rapper, who tries out wildly different flows and vibes, from singsong boasts on “All Around The World” to heady, intricate rhyme schemes on “Cry Me A River.” Meanwhile, on “We Ball Forever,” Yachty contemplates all the beef going on hip-hop at the moment and dismisses it, deciding that getting paid for self-expression is much more desirable.

Even so, he hasn’t quite been able to completely avoid controversy this summer. In July, he confirmed that the rapper Karrahbooo had parted ways with his Concrete Boys collective, but the split became acrimonious in August, with Karrahbooo accusing the group of bullying her and Yachty airing her out for haughty treatment of his staff.

Still, Yachty has done what many of his peers and contemporaries have been unable to: Keep the focus on their musical output rather than controversy.

You can watch all three of Yachty’s new videos above.

Rod Wave Claims That Drake “Loves The Game” And Will Never Retire

by

Drake’s legacy has been a major talking point in 2024. He lost the rap battle against Kendrick Lamar, and has struggled to drop hits with the same frequency that he has for the last 15 years. Some people feel he should hang it up. Rod Wave is here to assure OVO fans that Drake isn’t going anywhere. The rapper had a lengthy conversation about the 6 God ahead of the release of his new album. He shed light on the Drake song that he almost featured on, but most notably, he set the record straight as to whether Drizzy will ever retire.

The answer is no. Rod Wave made it abundantly clear that Drake lives to make music, and has no plans to step back from the limelight. The rapper even likened the 6 God to former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. “He just love doing this sh*t,” Wave asserted. “He love the game. Like Brady… He at home like ‘what the f*ck I’m finna do without this sh*t.’” Drake has talked about retirement in the past, like any big rapper has. He announced his plan to retire at age 35 on the 2016 song “Weston Road Flows.” That did not take. He talked about it again during a 2023 appearance on Lil Yachty’s A Moody Conversation.

Rod Wave Considers Himself A ‘Die Hard’ Drake Fan

Drake wants a graceful exit. “I guess that’s the one thing that I want for myself really badly,” he told Lil Boat. “I’m not ready now, but to gracefully continue making projects that are extremely, like, interesting and hopefully cherished by people.” Since then, though, the rapper has proven Rod Wave correct. He has dropped tons of music, and teased collab albums with the likes of PARTYNEXTDOOR and Conductor Williams. The most interesting aspect of the Drake and Wave dynamic, though, is that they’ve yet to officially work together.

Rod Wave was supposed to appear on the 2021 song “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.” Drake asked him to put a verse down, but the artist admitted that he got cold feet and was intimidated. “I’m a diehard Drake fan, I just got cold feet,” he explained. Drake was rumored to feature on Rod Wave’s new album, but the song he laid down a feature has since been altered. The album version will not include the 6 God.

Pharrell, Lil Yachty, And Swae Lee Enter The ‘Doodleverse’ With Their Futuristic New Single

by

Pharrell Williams’ plate is always filled with a new creativity venture. Although this year’s installment of his Something In The Water Festival has been postponed until 2025, the “Airplane Tickets” musician has kept busy with others things. Most recently, his Lego Movie about his life, Piece By Piece, is heading to theaters soon.

But his exploration into animated worlds is far from over. Today (October 4), Pharrell teamed up with Lil Yachty, and Swae Lee for the futuristic new single, “Doodleverse.” On the track, each entertainer lets their imagination run wild while bringing in listeners to an already established animated universe.

“On the other side when you realize that nothin’ is unobtainable / On the other side when you realize that nothin’ is unachievable / On the other side when you realize that dreams are reality / And all the Doodles live happily / And colors blend together magically,” sings the trio.

Pharrell and Lil Yachty expand on that positive momentum on the song’s bridge, singing: “So many things get lost in grey / Like details and things that we’re tryin’ to say / All colors come from black and space / And then make white when they pixelate.”

Listen to Pharrell’s new song “Doodleverse” featuring Lil Yachty and Swae Lee above.

Lil Yachty, Swae Lee And Pharrell Get Surreal On “Doodleverse” Single

by

When you click on this song, via YouTube or streaming, you’ll see the name Doodles. Don’t get confused. Doodles is the name of the new duo formed by Lil Yachty and Swae Lee. It’s an odd name, but it actually sums up the bouncy, happy-go-lucky tone of their music together. “Doodleverse” is the first Doodles single. And it features a guest appearance/production from Pharrell Williams. That is a lot of star power to have on one song. That’s decades of hits in various styles, so it was hard to predict what this would sound like.

“Doodleverse” sounds like a hallucinatory dream in an Adult Swim show. It sounds both surreal and silly, especially with Lil Yachty taking center stage on the chorus. Getting him to sing about “Doodleverse,” where all the Doodles live magically, is going to be a non-starter for some. We get it. If you’re able to get over the Lil Yachty hurdle, though, you’ll find that “Doodleverse” is a pretty fun song. Pharrell’s production is bouncy and perfectly suited to the title. He probably comes in third in terms of vocal contributions, but that’s only because Swae Lee steals the show. The former Rae Sremmurd rapper is able to float effortlessly over the beat, giving the song some much needed shape.

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.

Joe Budden Celebrates The Rumored Cancelation Of Lil Yachty’s Podcast

by

Lil Yachty has seemingly gone from one drama to the next in 2024. The rapper formerly known for his fun-loving attitude and friendship with Drake has become a headline grabber. First, there was the whole situation in which he announced he won’t be doing interviews anymore because of the way the internet reacted to his comments. Then, there was the Karrahbooo situation (read more about it here). Now, it’s Lil Yachty’s podcast, A Safe Place. And Joe Budden is loving all of it.

Lil Yachty has been co-hosting A Safe Place Podcast since June 2023. There have been several notable rappers who have appeared, but it appears as though the pod’s days are numbered. Yachty’s consistent co-host, MitchGoneMad, tweeted out that he’s going to be needing a new job. “Currently practicing my putting the fries in the bag technique will update you soon,” he wrote. When asked when a new episode is coming out, he responded: “Ngl i think bro rolling up that podcast in a backwood as we speak.” Joe Budden has been watching all of this unfold, and he decided to celebrate the news on his podcast.

Joe Budden Played ‘Another One Bites The Dust’ On His Pod

Budden and the rest of his team read Mitch’s tweets, then decided to flex their podcasting muscle. They threw on the Queen song “Another One Bites the Dust,” as a means of celebrating the end of the Lil Yachty podcast experiment. “I know what he said,” Joe Budden noted in regard to Mitch’s tweets. “Hell is about to break loose!” Anybody who has a working knowledge of Budden and Lil Yachty know that there is no love lost between them. If anything, they have disliking each other from afar for nearly a decade.

Joe Budden went nuclear on Lil Yachty during a 2017 episode of Everyday Struggle. He got seethingly angry over the notion that Boat was young and just wanted to have fun. Memes ensued, and it remains one of the most iconic pieces of hip hop media in the 2010s. The tension hasn’t died down, though. Lil Yachty claimed that he would “smoke” Budden if they were to rap on a song together during Budden’s appearance on, you guessed it, A Safe Place Podcast. “If you give me one of them Metroid beats,” the podcaster joked. “Then you will have the better verse.” Well, guess Joe got the last laugh.

Kai Cenat Announces Streaming Return And Vows To Break Twitch Record

by

Kai Cenat is one of the biggest streamers in the world. He’s especially big in the world of hip hop. Before he announced his plans to retire in September, he was regularly debuting singles from megastars on his streams. He was even mentioned by Drake on the song “Push Ups.” Cenat claimed that he was giving it all up, though, to pursue a basketball career. The streamer stated that he wanted to be a legit prospect, and tweeted his plans to dedicate himself to the sport. Then, on October 2, he changed his mind.

Kai Cenat announced his retirement from the Little Ballers League he helped start on Wednesday. In the same breath, he revealed his plans to become a streamer again. “I think I’m gonna have to go back to streaming when I retire,” he said to uproarious applause. “I’m going back to streaming. I got a new goal I gotta get.” When the sideline reporter asked Cenat about this goal, he made it clear that he’s shooting for the top. He plans to get back to work in an attempt break the all time subscriber count on Twitch.

Kai Cenat Wants To Reclaim The Top Spot On Twitch

Kai Cenat’s decision is probably a smart one. Lil Yachty attended one of the games the streamer put on for his Little Ballers League, and basically said as much. “That took a lot of courage,” Boat said. “[But] he should come out of retirement… cuse this ain’t a promising career.” The rapper went on to clown Cenat’s playing ability and praise his knack for coming up with entertaining content. “I think he is so innovative,” Lil Yachty explained. “As far as like content creating. You can say what you want.” Kai Cenat’s profile has continued to rise in the past couple years, to the extent that he’s being featured on albums by platinum selling artists. He’s slated to appear, alongside Speed, on the upcoming Lil Durk song “War Scars.”

As far Kai Cenat’s goal, he isn’t far off from achieving it. The streamer has the fourth-most subs on the entire Twitch platform. He had the most at one point, but he was subsequently usurped. He talked about the pressure, and the challenge, of maintaining the number one spot during a 2023 profile with Complex. “It feels good, but I feel like I still have a lot of work to get done,” Cenat stated. “I can’t get comfortable.” At the end of the day, of course, the streamer’s ability to entertain people (and his celebrity friends) are going to be what get him to the finish line. “As long as I’m able to entertain people and make them happy, that’s the best thing ever,” he asserted.
