Latto Reveals Her Ultimate Dream Collaboration

November 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Latto has been killing it as of late. Overall, she has delivered some incredible tracks this year. Moreover, she is someone who has gotten to work with a plethora of phenomenal artists. At this point, she is getting to a place in her career where she can work with almost anyone. She recently orchestrated an all-women cypher for XXL and she even got to chat with Forbes. These are huge moves for the artist, who is doing more than just dropping hits and consistent projects.

In her interview with Forbes, Latto was asked who would be her dream collaboration. Of course, there are plenty of amazing artists that one could choose from in this scenario. However, the artist that Latto chose is someone who hasn’t released an album in quite some time. That person just so happens to be Rihanna. She is someone who inspired a generation of artists, and Latto just so happens to be one of them.

Latto Delivers Praise To Riri

“Business, RiRi. RiRi. I just feel like she touched our generation in a whole different way,” Latto said. “I feel like women like me who might have a little motion going on, she showed us that it’s possible for us to take it a whole different level. So definitely RiRi. Music and business. What’s up, RiRi? Call me girl. I did a song with Mariah Carey, I did a song with Christina Aguilera, I did a song with Lil Wayne. It’s so limitless, I feel like anything could happen.” This would be an incredible collab, and we would love to see it happen. Hopefully, Rihanna does hit Latto with that call.

Latto has been doing big things, and it is cool to see her having this massive moment. Let us know your expectations for a collab between her and Riri, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed on your favorite artists.

FBG Duck Murder Case: FBI Tells Jurors That A YouTuber Was Paid $25K To Be An Informant

November 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Some pieces are beginning to fall into place for the murder case of FBG Duck. Back in October jury duty was underway, as 150 people were whittled down to just 12. The tragic event that took place three years ago is finally starting to see some more progress toward a trial. Hopefully, the proper punishment for the six alleged gang members who have been charged with the murder will be handed down. They were reportedly members of a rival gang. Prosecutors and FBG’s mother claim that they publicly took credit for the murder afterward.

With that part in motion, we now have more information from HipHopDX. According to them, an FBI Agent has recently informed the jurors that a paid informant has been assisting with the case. The name of that person is Martell Wiley and he runs a YouTube channel called Trenches News. In addition, the Chicago Sun-Times says he will be testifying this week.

Martell Wiley Got A Lot Of Money To Help

FBI Special Agent Kevin Doyle said that Wiley got over 15 installments of nearly $25,000. Additionally, his work with authorities officially began in 2021. However, the YouTuber did contact the Chicago Police Department one day after FBG’s murder to offer his help. Doyle mentioned that “he would provide background information. He reviewed surveillance footage [and] reviewed social media postings.” Wiley is sure to be under fire for breaking the street codes of not snitching. But, he wants to help bring justice to Duck. Wiley said, “They subpoenaed me to court. I’ve gotta come here and tell them, man,” he said in a video on his channel. “It ain’t no more discrepancies. I’m here. Long live [FBG Duck, aka] Carlton.”

What are your initial thoughts on this latest development with the FBG Duck murder case? Do you think things are going to rapidly escalate in court after Martell Wiley broke the code? Will this extra information help bring justice to FBG Duck’s family? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around FBG Duck. Furthermore, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Kanye West Catches Heat From The ADL Over “Vultures” Lyrics

November 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is someone who has consistently gotten himself into a bit of trouble thanks to his personal comments. Overall, this has been a problem for a long time with him. Last year, it truly got to its worst point thanks to his rampant anti-semitism. This turned out to be a breaking point for a lot of people. After all, he was hanging out with self-proclaimed white supremacists, all while perpetuating evil stereotypes. However, he is still making music, and there are fans who want to hear it.

For instance, he just dropped a new song called “Vultures.” In this song, he delivers some bizarre lyrics about Jewish women. Overall, the lyrics feel very out of place and they were very clearly a way to garner a reaction. Fans were not super thrilled with the lyrics, and as you can imagine, a lot of anti-hate groups didn’t like it either. According to TMZ, the Anti-Defamation League has come out, saying “At a time of rising antisemitism worldwide, it’s disgusting to see Kanye once again use his platform to spew Jew hatred.”

Kanye West On “Vultures”

Moreover, the American Jewish Committee is also speaking out about Kanye. In their eyes, this is just another sad attempt in which Ye is denigrating Jewish people. “To fuel the flames of antisemitism and promote such bile to his millions of followers, especially at this fraught and dangerous time for the Jewish community, is unforgivable,” the group said. At this point, it feels like Ye just won’t stop. He knows that these kinds of comments add to the rollout, even if people are offended. Hopefully, he wises up, sooner or later.

Let us know what you think of Kanye’s antics, in the comments section down below. Do you think he is going too far? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed on your favorite artists. Not to mention, we will also bring you the biggest new releases from the biggest artists in the world.

Cardi B Isn’t Impressed By Her Own Twerking Skills In A New Video: ‘Body On 10, Twerk On 0’

November 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B has long been open and proud about her time working in the strip club, before she came to fame through her music. Those days are behind her now, though, so she’s presumably not practicing her moves as often as she used to. The way Cardi sees it, when it comes to twerking, she’s rusty and just not very good at it anymore.

In a recent social media post (as HipHopDX notes), Cardi shared a video of herself with her backside to the camera as she twerked and shook it around. She wasn’t impressed by herself, though, as her on-screen text read, “Body on 10, Twerk on 0 [crying laughing emoji].”

Meanwhile, there’s a chance Cardi will share something new before 2023 ends: A couple weeks ago, she said, “I was thinking about, you know, being really quiet, being private. But I don’t know. Maybe I should just… I don’t know, maybe I should put a lil’ something something out before the year ends. It depends, though, because… hmm, would y’all mind if I just do, like, a video? I don’t know, if I do a music video that’s just probably in my kitchen because I don’t really have nothing planned for, like, right now. I don’t know. I’ll think about it by the end of the day. I don’t know, I don’t know. I just feel like I gotta talk my sh*t a little bit. You know what I’m saying? I don’t know, I don’t know.”

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
