Cardi B Declares She’s Single, Responds To Offset & Chrisean Rock Rumors

Cardi B is easily one of the biggest artists in rap right now, and her husband Offset is too. However, there has been some trouble in paradise as of late for the two. Last week, it was reported that the two had unfollowed each other on social media. Furthermore, over the weekend, Blueface came out and said that Offset had sex with Chrisean Rock recently. Overall, this was a pretty wild rumor to find out about. Fans could not believe it, and it led to a whole lot of chatter throughout social media.

Offset and Chrisean Rock were quick to deny the rumors. However, a lot of fans wanted to hear from Cardi B. After all, she is the one who would be getting cheated on here. Well, this morning, the artist went on Instagram Live where she addressed her fans, and the rumors themselves. As you can see in the video below, she makes a pretty large revelation here. She is now single. Yes, that is right. Cardi B and Offset have broken up, and Cardi now sees herself as a single woman.

Cardi B And Offset Are No More

As for the rumors themselves, Cardi said that she does not believe it is true. However, she doesn’t really care whether or not it is true, and that is because she is single. Furthermore, she said that she never made an announcement pertaining to all of this because she doesn’t really know how to approach it at the moment. That said, with Blueface blowing things wide open, she figured now would be as good of a time as ever to just come clean with what is going on. In the The Neighborhood Talk post above, you can also see that Offset himself liked the original report of Cardi being single. Needless to say, he is confirming the news as well.

This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed. Furthermore, let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments section.

It’s been slightly over a year since SZA released her latest album, SOS, on December 9, 2022. For the past few months, SZA has been teasing a deluxe edition of the album, dubbed Lana (SZA’s full legal name is Solána Imani Rowe). There’s been no release date officially revealed yet, but now fans think SZA has covertly let the cat out of the bag.

In a series of social media posts, SZA shared what appears to be different cover art options for Lana, based on the fact that they’re all in a square aspect ratio, that they all have the parental advisory label on them, and that SZA captioned all the posts, “LANA.” Furthermore, a few of the photos feature SZA wearing a generic sports jersey with the number 15 on it, which has fans thinking the project will be released this Friday, December 15. SZA herself has yet to confirm the speculated release date.

A couple hours before those posts, SZA shared another one reflecting on SOS a year after its release. She wrote:

“a day late but Happy 1 year anniversary to an album that is ACTIVELY CHANGING MY LIFE .. like rn currently changing my life . I haven’t processed this year AT ALL cause it’s still happening .. this is beyond my wildest dreams . I never imagined we’d accomplish a fraction of the accolades that came from this .. it often doesn’t feel real and it’s funny cause I swore I’d know what to do if it ever happened [crying laughing emoji] turns out I I froze .. I know the perils of drinking the koolaid so I won’t dabble in that .. but I have to express the immense GRATITUDE I have for every person that made this possible . Every person that’s been apart of this journey. Thank you to GOD and to my incredible TEAM and My FAMILY . My ancestors . Thank you to every person that streamed this album ,came to a show , blasted it in traffic and connected w ANY part of me . To everyone that continues to believe in me and be patient w me as I figure it all out . your my driving force . I love you [heart hands emoji] [hearts emoji] #campforever #SOSFOREVER.”

Kanye West Reveals Release Date For Ty Dolla $ign Collab Album, “Vultures”

Kanye West is someone who has elicited a ton of controversy over the years. However, he remains someone that people want to hear from, no matter what. Despite his anti-Semitic ramblings, he still has fans, and they want new music, Over the last little while, Ye has been constructing some of that music. While in Italy and Saudi Arabia, the legendary MC and producer has been working with none other than Ty Dolla $ign. They have a new collaborative album called Vultures on the way, and we have already heard the lead single.

While out at Art Basel in Miami, Ye seemingly revealed the tracklist. There are some huge features here, and we may even get the song “New Body.” This information definitely has fans excited and for good reason. Well, last night, Ye decided to give some fans even more good news. In the video below, you can see that it was made clear that the new album is actually going to be dropping this Friday, December 15th. This is massive, and it will easily be the biggest release before the end of the year.

Kanye West Is Almost Here

However, fans should probably temper their expectations here, at least just a little bit. Ye is notorious for not making good on his promises as it pertains to dropping albums. He is always delaying things and taking a few weeks off to finish up some stuff. Furthermore, some fans noted that the songs he was previewing didn’t sound finished. Not to mention, Mike Dean will not be working with Ye on this, which means he won’t have that expert sound design to help move the process along. At this point, it is unclear if he can deliver on his promise.

Let us know your thoughts on this upcoming project, in the comments section below. Which artists would you like to see featured? 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.

Busta Rhymes Struggles To Decide Between Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole For Greatest Ever List

Busta Rhymes was torn between Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole while rounding out his picks for the greatest rappers of all time. During an appearance on Amazon Music’s +44 Podcast, Busta explained that Cole releasing more music than Kendrick keeps him in the race. Other names he listed include himself, Rakim, Nas, and Eminem.

“Greatest rapper ever? I don’t think I have one,” Busta said. “I could say five. Rakim. Some might disagree with me but Nas. I would say Eminem. I’m starting to feel like there some new guys that are starting to go into that list to me. I’m almost there with J. Cole but I’m still torn between him and Kendrick. I’m talking about only bars! If Kendrick was to get active in the same way that Cole is being active, it would be a way different conversation but again, I’m torn between Cole and Kendrick, but it would be one of them two.”

From there, Busta continued: “I still didn’t put none of them two in the fourth place. I was just saying that it was gonna be a new guy cause they are really starting to really earn their right to passage and to be in the top 5 greatest of all time to me. I would definitely say Jay-Z. I’m Biggie-biased. I’m Biggie biased because I think what he has done between two albums everybody obviously had an opportunity to work way longer than him and they still can’t top what he has done in two albums. I think that’s my list.” Check out his full comments on the topic below.

Joe Budden Apologizes To Lupe Fiasco For “Clout Chaser” Accusation

Joe Budden has apologized to Lupe Fiasco for recently calling him a “clout chaser” on his podcast. Budden was reacting to the rapper’s remix of Andre 3000’s instrumental track, “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time,” from New Blue Sun.

“I gotta apologize to Lupe because I called him a ‘clout chaser,’” Budden began. “He tweeted his Grammys and I tweeted some sh*t and then he called me. I answered the phone and said ‘Yo, man, why you tweeting your Grammys at me? What’s going on man?’ He said ‘I didn’t like that clout chaser sh*t. Say what you want about the music. I don’t give a f*ck what you think about music. But, you know I’m not a clout chaser. Come on. I ain’t never done clout chasing.’ I said, ‘I don’t even remember saying that n***a. Who said that about you?’ Freudian slips. I didn’t mean that about Lupe. All I meant to say was that sh*t was ass.”

Lupe Fiasco Performs At Hip-Hop 50 Live Concert

US rapper Lupe Fiasco performs during the Hip Hop 50 Live concert, marking the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip hop, at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx borough of New York City on August 11, 2023. A genre, a culture and a lifestyle all at once: hip hop has traveled from the block party to the billionaire’s club, soundtracked protest and celebration, and asserted seismic influence over the course of pop. The reigning music style evolved in rapid, anarchic ways, rocking the industry establishment that long resisted its power, and fully embodying the culture of youth even as it grew. This year hip hop turns 50, an anniversary that’s offered its elders, its fans and the city that birthed it a milepost to reflect on its cultural weight.

As for Budden’s original criticism, he said: “Hey Lupe, man, stop. Stop it. He rapping over them damn flutes. I cut that shit right off. Oh Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Yo dawg, it’s women listening…with vaginas. Please. Why would he do that to them? I can’t say nothing ’cause he gonna diss me. … That was some bullshit. That was some clout chasing.” Lupe eventually fired back on social media by comparing his streaming number with Budden’s “We don’t chase whats already been achieved,” he wrote. “Victory laps sometimes look like qualifiers especially from the stands.”

Over the weekend, Yung Miami took to Instagram to drop off a new photo dump, posing in what appears to be a Resha Roulette warehouse. The City Girl sits atop some boxes, posing in a simple white crop top and some fun patterned jeans. She seemingly channeled Nicki Minaj for her caption, quoting her new Pink Friday 2 track with Lil Uzi Vert, “Everybody.”

“These b*tches all on my boddyyyyy!!!!” she captioned the carousel. Countless fans are flooding her comments section with compliments, glad that she’s showing love to Nicki following her big release. The other half of City Girls, JT, even chimed in, calling her the “HBIC.” Though most fans are showing her love, some continue to express concern for the Caresha Please host amid the recent allegations against Diddy.

Yung Miami Quotes Nicki Minaj In New IG Caption

Last month, Diddy’s ex Cassie filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault, physical and emotional abuse, and more.

Some of Yung Miami’s fans have been urging her to speak up amid the chatter surrounding the Bad Boy Records founder, but it appears as though she’s uninterested.

She even recently spent some time in the recording studio, revealing that amid the drama, she’s back to feeling like herself again.

It’s what really cemented the fact for me that I had to get my breast reduction.” Minaj recalled: “I said, ‘You guys, listen, look, these boobs are gonna be spilling out.’ And by the time we were ready to go, I looked in the mirror, I said, ‘Guys, my boobs are still spilling out.’” She joked that she “knew before we even left the room that the boobs were about to have a night of their own.”

The Game Recalls Importance Of 50 Cent Collaboration, “Hate It Or Love It”

The Game says that “Hate It or Love It” was “the record that literally put me where I needed to be.” Reflecting on the making of the 50 Cent-assisted song during an interview with VladTV, The Game recalled the moment he knew it was a hit.

“When I did ‘Hate It or Love It,’ I did it in Connecticut at Tyson’s old mansion that 50 had bought from him and occupied at that point,” Game began. “When I first heard the beat from ‘Hate It or Love It,” Cool & Dre did the beat, and as soon as I heard the beat, my friendship, my brotherhood with Cool & Dre was forged for life because I knew as soon as I heard that beat where I was going after that. I already had success with ‘Westside Story’ as my street single. ‘How We Do’ was already climbing the Billboard charts, the album was already number one, so I knew for a fact. You know how people put out their first album and then they’re scared of the sophomore jinx? Once ‘Hate It or Love It’ dropped, I knew that I was cemented and I wasn’t going nowhere.”

Game also discussed his relationship with 50 Cent and how the rift between them came to be. He explained that, after reaching the top of the Billboard 200 chart, the level of success got to his head. In turn, he got a little too “cocky” at that point in his career.

The Game Reflects On “Hate It Or Love It”

Elsewhere in the interview, The Game discussed working with Eminem on his debut album, The Documentary, for the song, “We Ain’t,”, the album reaching the top of the Billboard 200 chart, and more. He described his Eminem collaboration as a “highlight of his career.” Be on the lookout for further updates on The Game on HotNewHipHop.
