Drake Quotes Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” In Response To Viral Lookalike

July 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s viral feud may have died down for the moment, but evidently, it remains at the top of fans’ minds. Luckily, despite how messy things got, it looks like Drizzy is still able to poke fun at the debacle. Earlier today, for example, the Toronto rapper took to his Instagram Story to share a viral clip of a Drake lookalike performing “Hotline Bling.”

For obvious reasons, fans got a kick out of the wild clip and were quick to take note of Drake’s caption. “Sometimes you gotta pop out,” he wrote simply. Of course, these lyrics are from Kendrick Lamar’s hit song “Not Like Us,” in which he rips Drake to shreds.

“Sometimes You Gotta Pop Out,” According To Drake

The track has been one of the most successful of the entire lyrical battle, and Kendrick later named his LA “Pop Out” show with Dr. Dre, Ty Dolla Sign, and more after it. It even got an accompanying music video earlier this month, which unsurprisingly racked up millions of views within only a few days. Famously, it features bars that accuse Drake of being a predator. Regardless, Drizzy doesn’t seem to mind giving it a shoutout.

After all, Drake seems set on moving on from this fiasco and getting back to what he was doing before. He recently teamed up with Gordo for two tracks on his debut album, “Sideways” and “Healing.” The features left supporters hopeful for the future, and feeling like Drizzy might finally be back on track. He also has a song with Lil Yachty on the way, “Super Soak,” which Kai Cenat previewed on stream last week. What do you think of Drake’s reaction to his viral lookalike’s performance? What about him quoting “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Drake Spots Doppelganger In The Crowd During “It’s All A Blur,” Show, Trolls Rappers Doing Weed Promos

April 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake called attention to a doppelganger in the crowd at a recent stop on his It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? on Instagram after the show. To do so, he reposted another fan’s clip of the attendee with the caption: “I’m everywhere…” In the video, the fan simply watches the Toronto rapper as he performs near the stage.

The incident comes as Drake has been feuding with Kendrick Lamar following the rapper’s feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s chart-topping song, “Like That.” With his verse, Lamar dissed both Drake and J. Cole. Drake has yet to release a diss track back at the iconic rapper.

Drake did appear to respond to drama in a rant during a recent concert. “A lot of people asking me how I’m feeling… listen, the way I’m feeling is the same way I want you to walk out of here feeling tonight about your f***ing self,” Drake told the crowd at one of his shows. “Because you know how I’m feeling? I got my head up high, my back straight, I’m 10 f***ing toes down… and feeling like anywhere else I go… and I know no matter what, there’s not a n**** on this Earth that can ever f*** with me in my life. And that’s how I want y’all to walk out of here tonight… But, you know, you can get yourselves gassed up, riled up and move towards the future… Sometimes you’ve got to acknowledge the mistakes you’ve made in the past… right? So that’s what I want you all to do. Everybody in here.”

Method Man Joins Viral TikTok Lookalike For Hilarious Skit

February 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Method Man is a pretty self-explanatory name: if you need something done, he knows exactly the right way to do it. While that manifested a lot when it comes to his skills as an MC, there is now another challenger who claims to have more methods, secret recipes, and unknown tips than the Wu-Tang Clan legend. Moreover, this is viral TikTok star Jordan The Stallion, a 26-year-old known for his mirror selfie videos where he gives audiences this advice on secret restaurant hacks, lost customs, and so much more. Turns out that a lot of people compared him to Mef look-wise, and they actually linked up to publish a hilarious skit.

Furthermore, it involves them trying to debunk the claim that they’re related, but they dressed the exact same for the occasion. In addition, Method Man pulls out his own secret recipe book, and teaches him how to make Little Caesar’s Cr*zy Bread. It’s overall a really funny and notable crossover, especially since folks probably didn’t expect the New York MC to be so tapped into what the kids are up to. But considering that he wants to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe one day, this curiosity for the contemporary isn’t surprising at all.

Method Man Becomes A TikTok Star In Hilarious Skit With Jordan The Stallion: Watch

Not only that, but this isn’t the only Zoomer crossover that Method Man had recently, although the other one is much less conventional. Fans online actually debated between who was the hotter hip-hop legend: him or LL Cool J, and it was hilarious to see twenty-somethings talk this way about lyricists they probably didn’t grow up with. It’s probably not the way in which old heads imagined that the new generation would celebrate and champion classic hip-hop culture. But we’re sure that they’ll take that dub.

However, this also falls under slightly darker context thanks to accusations of abuse against the 52-year-old. Those are still unconfirmed at press time, so take them with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, folks still want to see more fun clips like these, so we’ll see if that develops in a way that will hinder that. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Method Man.

Hilarious In-Flight Mix-Up, Passengers Pose With Snoop Dogg Lookalike

January 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The mix-up, filled with laughter, unfolded during a recent flight and quickly became a social media sensation. The story began when a passenger, convinced that Snoop Dogg was among them, approached the doppelgänger for a photo. “Man these people taking pics with my cousin, because they said he look like Snoop Dogg,” the person recording wrote. “Ya’ll know I was instigating the sh**t.” Little did they know that the man in question was not the Grammy-winning artist.

Snoop Dogg Mind-Blown By Joint Made To Look Like Him, He Smokes & Enjoys It

December 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg had the world in a chokehold when he announced that he would give up smoking weed… and sat back to laugh at reactions. When it became clear that it was just a ploy to market and promote a brand partnership with a stove company, folks wondered how we ever fell for it in the first place. Just in case there’s any doubt, though, he just showed off the most wild joint you’ll see in a while. You know that thing where you make a whole in various joints to put them together and smoke them at once, and how hard it can be? Well, imagine rolling up one that looks exactly like Tha Doggfather.

Moreover, he recently took to Instagram on Thursday (December 28) to show off a 3D joint that was a bust of his face. “They done smoked this n***a down to a tee, this Snoop Dogg blunt,” the West Coast icon wrote. “Whoever rolled this for me, thank you, cuh. We smoking the s**t out this motherf***er to end the new year. Wow. Head blown.” “Smoking on @snoopdogg,” the “Lay Low” MC added in the post’s caption.

Furthermore, Sesh Farms created this joint, and they spoke on it a little on their own Instagram page. “Snoop Dogg Joint v2 @snoopdogg @cbroadus,” the company captioned a post of the creation on Instagram. “Had to roll the legend himself @snoopdogg bigger and better includes over 2oz!! of flower and cr*zy custom snoop dogg tip. This will be part of a art release i will be doing that will include large detailed creative rolls for sale $$ as fully smokable art pieces.

Meanwhile, the 52-year-old is still as successful as ever, as he recently showed off his Spotify earnings while reflecting on almost going bankrupt. It’s always heartening to see how he continues his late-stage career, whether it’s with new music or his impact on the game as a leading figure for over 30 years. We’re sure there will be many more to come, and many more wild joints for him to spark up. For more news and the latest updates on Snoop Dogg, check back in with HNHH.

Will Smith Vibes With Jada Pinkett Lookalike At Art Basel Miami

December 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Will Smith recently hit up Art Basel Miami over the week with what we thought was a familiar face. Rather, it turns out that he was just hanging out with someone who looks a lot like Jada Pinkett Smith, if only for her shaved head. There weren’t any real signs of chemistry, PDA, or clear interactions between the two, so keep those rumors to yourself. You can check out pictures of the two with the “Via” link at the end of the article. Given all the drama that emerged around the Smith’s relationship over recent years (particularly months), these kinds of rumors probably won’t slow down. The irony is that Jada’s alopecia is what warrants the comparison to this woman, and is also the core of her husband’s Oscars slap that she believes saved their marriage.

“After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him,” Jada Pinkett Smith told the Daily Mail in an interview published on Saturday (December 9). “Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?” What’s more is that she called Will Smith’s actions towards Chris Rock “the holy slap.” According to the actress, “so many positive things came after it,” and though their relationship isn’t perfect, it’s definitely on an upward trend after a lot of airing out… for better or worse.

However, it’s also interesting that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett aren’t spending that much time together these days. Still, for big things like Thanksgiving and their children performing at the Camp Flog Gnaw festival recently, they present a united front. As such, we’d guess that they probably just have very busy schedules or are prioritizing some “me time” for themselves to balance out their dynamic. They also have their own projects to handle, such as the Fresh Prince’s upcoming flick with Michael B. Jordan, I Am Legend 2.

Meanwhile, at the Red Sea International Film Festival on Saturday, he reflected on his personal life. “I have made tons of mistakes. Fame is a unique monster. You can’t get too excited when people say good things about you because then when people say bad things about you, you struggle and suffer more. I have to be clear about who I am and what I am attempting to do in the world. I have to be clear about who I am and what I am attempting to do in the world, I cannot depend on others applauding me for me to stay focused on my mission. And at the same time, I am deeply human. And I am in the process of perfecting my virtue.” For more news and the latest updates on Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, stick around on HNHH.

Ice Spice’s Doppelganger Blows Up On TikTok

September 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, TikTok user @kimmymunch has been going viral online for looking like Ice Spice. Though she’s only shared a handful of TikToks, it’s been enough to get the attention of fans, who note that the resemblance is uncanny. Her TikToks mostly consist of her posing along to music, and leaning into the persona of her celebrity lookalike.

As expected, social media users are out in full force with jokes, claiming that this is the most shocking doppelganger yet. “That’s spice ice,” one commenter quips. The viral “clone” rocks copper-colored locked similar to her iconic hairstyle. Her features are also strikingly similar to the “Deli” rapper’s, which is highlighted by her signature winged eyeliner and glossy lips. Though the lookalike has managed to shock fans with how much she looks like the artist, this is far from the first “clone” of the hitmaker to pop up in recent months.

At the beginning of this year, the Bronx-born 23-year-old also recruited a slew of lookalikes to promote her own EP, Like..? A crew of dancers rocking matching outfits and Ice Spice wigs headed to Times Square, dancing along to her track “Princess Diana.” Fans loved the creativity behind the stunt, and it certainly managed to spark interest in the project.

Recently, the “Munch” performer also got the attention of Max B, who shared his love for her in an interview from behind bars. “I’m loving that Spicy Ice joint right now,” he explained during a phone call. “She looking real good. I’m loving that Icy Spicy right now. She looking real tasty with that carrot top going off. That top looking like carrot cake.

Adin Ross Interviews Kim Jong Un Lookalike

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

And just like that, Adin Ross’ latest saga is over. After promising his audience that he would be interviewing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Ross…didn’t do that. Instead, the controversial streamer went live with a fairly unconvincing impersonator who didn’t look all that much like Kim Jong Un. Somehow, Ross even convinced his idol, Andrew Tate, to call into the stream with the fake Kim Jong Un. Overall, it was just a very bizarre and surreal experience. Online, people roasted Ross and his audience for the stream. Special attention was leveled at the people who genuinely believed that Ross had secured an interview with the real Kim Jong Un.

The entire saga was born of a joke made earlier this week. Ed Craven, the CEO of Stake, had joked that he was going to send Ross to North Korea to recover $41 million that alleged North Korean hackers stole from the gambling platform. This quickly mutated into Ross claiming that he was going to interview the North Korean leader. In another stream, Ross showed off his proposed ideas for the interview. The brilliant mind of Ross planned to ask hard-hitting questions such as “Thoughts on LBGT?” and “Fake nutsack prank”. According to an Adin Ross fan account, Ross’ viewership absolutely cratered after he revealed that his guest was an impersonator and not the real Kim Jong Un.

However, the decision to stream with a lookalike is a perfect example of how Ross’ grand ideas often falter with subpar execution. This mentality was perfectly encapsulated on a recent Kai Cenat stream when Cenat executed a pitch-perfect impression of Ross.

Cenat began by attempting to suck his own toes before quickly forgetting the idea. He then replicated Ross’ frenetic style. “Okay chat, okay okay. A basketball warehouse with the Kick logo. And it’s all black and green because Kick. And it’s all black and green. It’s all black and green. It’s a basketball warehouse and then Obama rolls up. Thoughts? Thoughts, chat? Thoughts?” Cenat said, punctuating the final sentence with loud, obnoxious claps.

G Herbo Is Fed Up With His Doppelganger

September 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, G Herbo fans have found another one of the rapper’s lookalikes. A clip has been circulating showing a man that resembles the Chicago-born performer, and apparently, they won’t stop reminding him of it. He seems to be experiencing some online trolling because of clip, and it looks like he’s had enough. G Herbo took to social media to share the clip, telling social media users to quit sending it to him. “Next person send me this [I’m] blocking you,” he wrote alongside a series of laughing emojis.

Strangely enough, this isn’t the first time G Herbo’s had an unfortunate experience with one of his lookalikes. Back in 2017, photos of a man who resembles the artist performing oral sex on another man surfaced online, sparking a slew of homophobic posts aimed at the rapper. He quickly hopped on social media to clear up the speculation, however, noting that he wasn’t actually in the photos.

G Herbo Has Had Enough

In 2020, G Herbo even met up with one of his lookalikes, posing for photos alongside the man and giving his social media a major boost. “MY POPS GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO,” the artist jokingly wrote. Though he was willing to embrace his lookalike at the time, it appears as though G Herbo is over the whole doppelganger thing.

In other G Herbo news, the rapper recently surprised fans with an impromptu cypher with Meek Mill and Sauce Walka. It all went down outside of Gillie Da King’s “Gillie Fest” in Philadelphia, in honor of his son’s recent tragic passing. G Herbo also been making headlines this summer for his wire fraud case, which he took a plea deal in back in July. The performer is to pay out victims a total of around $140K as part of the deal. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on G Herbo.

Karrueche Tran Says Fans Mistook Her For Either Jhene Aiko Or Coi Leray

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Even if someone thinks you’re just as attractive as the people they’re confusing you for, it can still sting. Moreover, that’s what recently happened to actress Karrueche Tran, who recently revealed on social media that a fan asked her for a picture while remarking that they love her music. The half-Vietnamese, half-Black entertainer suspects that they could’ve either been referring to Coi Leray or Jhene Aiko given her recent hairstyle change. Apparently she just walked away from the fan while laughing, which is pretty cold-blooded but perhaps exactly what they deserved in her eyes if they didn’t have their receipts on deck. It’s a small but curious peek into a celebrity’s life that we don’t always get to peep, but always results in entertaining antics.

“Someone asked me for a picture today,” Karrueche Tran wrote on a picture of herself on her Instagram Story recently. “And then said ‘Thank you so much, I love your music!’” “I didn’t ask who they thought I was,” Chris Brown’s 35-year-old ex elaborated on Twitter. “I just laughed and kept walking. But I think it’s either Coi LeRay or Jhene Aiko (I got Jhene a couple weeks ago in the airport, which ok we’re both blasian and petite but now my hair is short?) lol.”

Karrueche Tran Meets People Who Thought She Was Coi Leray Or Jhene Aiko

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Regardless of who the fan meant to approach excitedly, it’s not hard to see why people would mix up the three. Also, there are plenty of reasons to have Coi Leray and Jhene Aiko on your news feed these days, so maybe it’s just the recency bias talking. For example, the former recently released her new EP, Blue Moon, just this week, and it already stirred up some commotion. After all, you don’t seemingly diss Trippie Redd and Latto and not cause some heads to turn.

Meanwhile, the R&B singer recently released her new single “calm & patient” to much acclaim, hinting at bigger things to come this year. It’s not like Tran disappeared throughout the year, but her doppelgängers built even more of a profile. So now you know: if you think you saw any of them at an airport, take a closer look and think before you fan out. For more news and the latest updates on Karrueche Tran, Coi Leray, and Jhene Aiko, check back in with HNHH.
