Tyga And Sabrina Claudio Spark Relationship Rumors With Lovey Dovey New Photos

by

Tyga is someone whose love life has been the topic of conversation at various points throughout his career. Firstly, it was his relationship with Kylie Jenner that had people intrigued and in some ways, upset. However, his most prominent relationship has been with Blac Chyna. He shared a child with Chyna and they are currently co-parenting. Since Chyna, Tyga hasn’t exactly been forthcoming about who he’s dated, except for that brief period when he was with Avril Lavigne.

Today, however, he sparked up a whole new batch of rumors. This time, concerning himself and Sabrina Claudio. Overall, the rapper and the r&b singer can be seen getting lovey-dovey in the images. The two are on the beach while enjoying what appears to be the sunset. The images were shared without a caption and it is made out to look like these two are a couple. However, as some fans in the comments section suggested, this could just be a music video shoot.

Either way, there is no doubt that these images have sparked dating rumors. Only time will tell what the truth here really is.

AJ Tracey Unveils Energetic Banger “Bubble Bath”

by

Fans haven’t heard a lot of solo work from AJ Tracey over the past year or so, but fortunately, the West London native appears to be making a comeback. Last week, he unveiled his new single “Bubble Bath” alongside a fun accompanying video. The video shows the UK-born performer vibing in a beauty salon and spitting quick boastful bars. The song itself feels energetic and carefree, incorporating elements of Afrobeats while staying grounded by Tracey’s signature, focused flow.

It’s a solid departure from the more mellow and laid-back “Joga Bonita,” which AJ Tracey unveiled back in April. Bright, bouncy production and fun rhymes make it a perfect summer anthem. It puts Tracey’s impressive versatility on full display, proving that he’s here to stay. So far, listeners are loving the track, and can’t wait to hear more. New music isn’t the only thing his supporters have to be excited about these days, however. Tracey also just recently graced the cover of Clash Magazine, expressing gratitude for his success in an interview with the outlet.

“I’m blessed to be in this position. People still rock with me,” he said. “Something a bit warmer than ‘Joga’ to complement the British summer, the sound of my youth!” he added of his new single. What do you think of AJ Tracey’s new single? Will you be adding “Bubble Bath” to your summer playlist or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Video Skyrockets As LA Library Jokes About “Retiring” Owls

by

Kendrick Lamar struck gold with his “Not Like Us” music video, which continues to rack up millions of more views after its initial massive launch. For those curious, the visuals are currently sitting at around 24 and a half million views as of writing this article, and fans are still breaking it all down. But who know that K.Dot whacking an OVO owl piñata in the video, one of his many trolls against Drake, would even get the shushing librarians involved? Moreover, the Los Angeles Public Library recently joked on its TikTok page that they might retire their owl puppet mascot as a result.

Furthermore, this puppet was one that the library used for children’s programming, which makes the “Certified PDF-file” bar on “Not Like Us” sting even more. It’s all probably just a joke, as this owl was a part of the L.A. public library long before Kendrick Lamar and Drake started trading diss tracks. But as fans continue to theorize on what potential album hints there are in the music video, it broke records and captivated so much of the culture. It broke the record for the most views for a rap video within 24 hours this year, and we’re sure it stacks up to other viral visual treatments over the past few years, as well.

In addition to this, there were plenty of other details and jabs in the “Not Like Us” music video for fans to take note of. One of the main angles is that of Dave Free co-directing this with Kendrick Lamar, as the duo stands tall against Drake’s claims that there’s friction. Specifically, on tracks like “Family Matters” and “The Heart Part 6,” Drizzy claims that the Compton lyricist’s son with his partner is actually Free’s. Speaking of which…

“Not Like Us” Music Video Is Hitting Big

Whitney Alford and her kids with Kendrick Lamar also popped out to show Drake that perhaps his accusals of Kendrick are moot. Of course, we don’t really know what’s real or what’s not behind the scenes, but that’s true for all the attacks during the battle. We’ll see what other legs the “Not Like Us” video grows in its successful and astonishing path. What we’ll also see is whether or not more entities, particularly in Los Angeles, start looking at owls a little differently.

Kendrick Lamar’s Rumored Album Release Date Could Actually Be A Subtle Drake Diss

by

Earlier this week, Kendrick Lamar unleashed his eagerly anticipated “Not Like Us” music video, and unsurprisingly, it’s been a major success. The video has already racked up more than 23 million views on YouTube, prompted countless reactions from fans, and more. Social media users have been hard at work dissecting the explosive visual, identifying any potential hints at what’s to come. A jacket Kendrick wore in the video, for example, has sparked rumors about his next album.

The jacket in question was believed to feature the date “8/8/2024,” which many thought could be the release date of an upcoming project. It was later confirmed, however, that the jacket actually says “S/S/2024.” Now, it’s speculated that this was yet another subtle jab at Drake.

Fans Look For Clues In Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Video

The jacket, as well as a scarf Kendrick sported at other points in the video, is from Jamaican-British designer Martine Rose’s Spring/Summer collection. Fans think this could have been a reference to Kendrick’s digs at Drake’s accent and use of Toronto slang. This is unconfirmed, though it wouldn’t come as a shock considering all the subtle jabs Kendrick’s taken at Drizzy in recent months.

As for the actual release date for Kendrick’s next album, it’s still up in the air, though some suspect that it’ll arrive sooner rather than later. During a recent chat with TMZ, for instance, The Alchemist shared his prediction that the project will drop sometime this year. “I think he’s gonna drop an album this year,” he told the outlet, “I don’t think he has to… I think he will, just cuz he can.” What do you think of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” music video? What about rumors that his jacket featured the release date of his next album? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Eminem Returns To “The Marshall Mathers LP” House In “Tobey” Music Video Teaser

by

Eminem has fans feeling very happy these days with his new single “Tobey” featuring Big Sean and BabyTron, building up hype for the release of his new album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) next week (Friday, July 12). However, they are not quite as happy as they could be, as it looks like the Lyrical Lemonade-partnered music video for the track, directed by Cole Bennett, is not quite ready for release yet. But don’t fret, Marshall Mathers fans. He recently took to social media to apologize for the delay in the visuals’ release, but did include a short clip from the upcoming video to hold fans over.

“The Tobey video is not completed- new date Monday 7/8,” Eminem captioned the clip on Twitter. “Here’s a peek in the meantime!!! Sorry 4 the delay.” In the snippet, you can see BabyTron walk past Eminem, who’s sitting on the steps of his iconic house featured in the cover art for The Marshall Mathers LP and its 2013 direct sequel. It’s a bit of a full-circle moment for the Detroit legend, as well as for the city’s own Big Sean. “Not gon hold you, Slim Shady LP was the first CD i bought wit my own money at Costco,” he recently tweeted. “Me n Em bout 4 songs in now (DVE, No Favors, Detroit 2 cypher) but being on The Death Of Slim Shady is full circle. I aint know when i bought that, that id be one of the next 1’s out da city…”

Eminem Teases “Tobey” Music Video

Meanwhile, “Tobey” drew some interesting reactions online for wholly different reasons relating to a lot of prominent rap beef in 2024. With Kendrick Lamar and Drake going at it, maybe folks became too battle-pilled to treat Eminem’s competitive bars on the song as anything other than direct shots. Specifically, they thought that he dissed Jay-Z. But Royce Da 5’9″ quickly hopped online to debunk this rumor.

Despite all the hype behind Eminem, “Tobey,” and The Death Of Slim Shady right now, not everyone is all the way on board. “Numbers wise, Eminem is the best Detroit rapper but the gag is nobody would say that in Detroit,” the 313’s Skilla Baby recently posited. “Numbers wise, it’s Eminem but nobody in Detroit is playing Eminem right now and I was an Eminem fan as a kid. I’m a fan of Eminem but do we consider him our best rapper? I don’t think Detroit does.”

Kendrick Lamar & Drake Fans React To Dave Free Co-Directing “Not Like Us” Music Video

by

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” music video is taking the world by storm right now, and there are a lot of details for fans to gush and complain about. Moreover, one of the key aspects of the video relating to Drake’s disses against K.Dot is the co-direction from Dave Free. You probably remember all of the allegations that Drizzy made about Free, Kendrick’s creative collaborator, and the Compton lyricist’s partner Whitney Alford, their kids, the abuse allegations, all of that. Well, a lot of fans think that this narrative is all but moot now, as Free’s been happy to support his friend throughout all this and even appeared in the visuals.

In addition, Whitney herself popped out during the “Not Like Us” music video alongside her two kids with Kendrick Lamar. This has all led to a lot of Drake-bashing online, and whether warranted or not, it’s combating the claims that he had in cuts like “Family Matters” and “The Heart Part 6.” Of course, this is all just optics, and we have no way to really verify whether either battling MC’s claims against the other is true at all. But there’s an Internet and culture game to play here, and fans are using these visuals’ ammo to decide on a winner.

Fans Are Loving Kendrick Lamar & Dave Free’s Direction For Drake Diss Video

However, even with all the hype behind Kendrick Lamar’s music video, we can’t imagine that “Not Like Us” made Drake break much of a sweat. After all, he was partying with Michael Rubin and a whole slew of celebrities at his White Party on Fourth of July, the day that the visuals dropped. As such, we predict that the 6ix God will probably make some cheeky post trolling Kendrick or downplaying the new release. Still, it’s got to sting to see folks revel in your downfall, as you can see some folks doing in the reactions down below.

More Fans React To Dave Free’s Co-Directing Credit On “Not Like Us”

Meanwhile, this new “Not Like Us” music video also built up even more hype for more new Kendrick Lamar music on the way. The teased West Coast banger at the start of it has fans foaming at the mouth, so we’ll see whether it actually manifests into something. Perhaps this will be the final chapter in this installment of the greatest rap beef since Jay-Z and Nas. It’s changing the context of previous disses, dismantling narratives, and suggesting what could be next in the future.

Drake Pops Out At Michael Rubin’s White Party As Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Music Video Drops

by

Drake had a much better Fourth of July than most of us, popping out for Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin’s White Party this week for a great time. Moreover, new footage of a “Sticky” and “Wants And Needs” performance with Lil Baby emerged online, plus a picture of him with Rubin. However, it’s still a bit unclear whether or not these new snaps are from this year or previous ones, as the 6ix God is a frequent guest at these parties, but most folks online seem to agree that these are all from 2024. Also, we do know that he got an official invite to the celebrations this year, so it all lines up.

Of course, there might have been something pretty big on Drake’s mind around 7PM Eastern time, when Kendrick Lamar dropped the “Not Like Us” music video. In it, Kendrick features his family and co-director Dave Free to clap back at Drizzy’s disses, locks up an owl in a cage, and parodies the “Family Matters” video at one point. It’s a massive moment that is garnering a lot of hype right now for its clean visuals and victory lap attitude. As such, fans are speculating wildly on how the Toronto superstar must feel about all this, but he was clearly distracted by a great party, so who knows?

Drake At Michael Rubin’s White Party

Elsewhere in this beef’s post-conclusion run, Drake has been consistently trolling Kendrick Lamar and downplaying his disses and success, which we can’t say we blame him for. After all, he might feel pretty vindicated these days after some OVO fans attacked Rick Ross in Vancouver, Canada recently due to a scuffle with them. That whole situation is still unclear, but folks have their theories that Rozay was actually the instigator. Either way, it’s clear that not every battlefield will be a winning one for Kendrick.

But alas, hip-hop has spoken, and folks like LL Cool J think that Kendrick Lamar decidedly got the win over Drake here. “Kendrick won the battle. I mean, come on,” he recently expressed. “That’s obvious. That’s a no-brainer. And listen, I like Drake. I love his music, he’s a cool dude. We don’t know each other but I like his music. I’m happy for him and everything. Kendrick… that might have been a bad choice. I like him but Kendrick did his thing.”

Kendrick Lamar Hits 3 Million Views On “Not Like Us” Music Video In Just 2 Hours

by

Get ready for a whole lot more debate, discourse, and clap-backs, because the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef is not quite over yet. Moreover, K.Dot just dropped the highly anticipated “Not Like Us” music video, and to absolutely no one’s surprise, it blew up like a fake room full of fireworks on Fourth of July. In fact, it surpassed 3 million views in just about two hours, and 14 hours after its release, it’s currently sitting at 13 million views as of writing this article. Of course, the numbers aren’t everything, but the positive responses to this visual across the board indicates that it’s a pretty big hit with fans.

On the other hand, this is notable because of the many claims of stream botting and fake engagement that Kendrick Lamar fans and Drake fans have hit each other with over the course of this battle. However, a lot of the big conversations have been accusations from OVO to TDE. As such, the wild success of this “Not Like Us” music video comes with a potential asterisk next to it, although the proof behind these claims is questionable. Still, even without bots, it’s hard to imagine a world in which this wouldn’t cause a major splash, so what are we really fighting over here?

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Music Video Skyrockets On Impact

Instead, most fans decided to point out some of their favorite moments and most relevant “attacks” in the “Not Like Us” music video. Chief among these discussion topics is easily the inclusion of Kendrick Lamar’s family, with his partner Whitney Alford and their two kids dancing together in an equal showing of wholesomeness and hateful trolling. Fans reacted quite excitedly to this due to Drake’s disses about the Compton lyricist’s family on tracks like “Family Matters.” Seems like a picture said more than a thousand words when it came to responding to these allegations.

Regardless, with a new song preview at the beginning, the big thing that the “Not Like Us” music video also achieved was a little bit more hope that we’ll get a Kendrick Lamar project this year. Many became delusional and thought it would drop last night, but alas, the world is not so perfect. So folks are waiting patiently on that, and to see what Drake has to say about all this. But there are so many cool moments with this visual treatment that will probably have fans rewinding for a while.

The wait is over. Kendrick Lamar is poppin’ out today with the “Not Like Us” music video. Social media and Kendrick fans alike couldn’t be more excited that it’s finally here. After weeks of teasing and speculation, the video is here and it quite literally features the whole city. The buzz around the “Not Like Us” music began last month when news broke that Kendrick Lamar was filming the video in his hometown of Compton. Reports of him being surrounded by a large crowd of fans and fellow artists heightened expectations for what was to come. Kendrick’s connection to Compton has always been a significant part of his identity as an artist, and fans couldn’t wait to see how this would be portrayed in the visuals.

True to Kendrick’s style, the “Not Like Us” video delivers a compelling narrative through a series of vivid scenes and symbolic imagery. One striking moment towards the end captures Kendrick looking at an owl trapped in a bird cage. Moreover, this is a a scene that definitely carries deeper layers of meaning, and is a direct shot at rival Drake’s OVO imagery. In addition, there’s of course other imagery embedded within the video. But you’ll have to see for yourself.
