Coachella is arguably one of the biggest festival stages in music. Each year, the pressure is on for each featured headliner to put on a show worth trucking out to the desert. For 2024, Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat, and Tyler The Creator held the marquee position.

Both Doja and Tyler’s set have earned a stellar review from Uproxx‘s hip-hop editor Aaron Williams. However, Tyler might’ve declared Doja the weekend’s true MVP. Yesterday (April 20), during his final headlining set, Tyler admitted that he was a bit envious of Doja Cat’s production set up for her performance.

“I was with Doja Cat yesterday,” he said. “And I told her,’I’m jealous that you have backup dancers. N****. Just a bunch of sweaty n****s onstage with you, helping you look sweaty. F*ck. She got the wigs and sh*t. I need to do the ‘Igor’ sh*t one more time with the wig and sh*t.”

Silent House’s creative director and designer Parker Genoway, one of the creative force behind her set, spoke with Uproxx about what went into Doja’s raved about build outs.

“She was always like, ‘I want a dinosaur. I really want a dinosaur,’” he said. “And so when we started thinking about, ‘Let us work backwards. What kind of world could this be? Is this prehistoric, or is this post-apocalyptic? Has society crumbled?’… I think when I like to create a world, I want layers and I want versatility, and I want to be able to deliver a show that evolves and does not just stay the same the whole time.”

Users online went from making fun of Doja Cat’s hair to gushing over her custom hair costumes.

by

Freddy P, a former member of the MTV Making The Band 2 group, Da Band, claims Diddy once made a threat on his life during a heated exchange in the studio. He made the allegations during an appearance on The Art of Dialogue, on Friday, explaining that it caused him to leave the group.

“One day, I was waking up, and I was in a mood. I’m in the studio, I’m snapping or whatever. I didn’t even want to be f*cked with,” Freddy said. “You know when you around a bunch of goofies and you a street n***a, sometimes you don’t want to be around the nerds. So I’m in that b*tch; I’m just frustrated with a lot of sh*t going on. Anyway, we get into a situation. We in front of everybody, na like, “Man, what you think you bout it or something?’ He was like, ‘Na, I’ll buy every house on your block, shut every light off in that b*tch, and every time you come out that b*tch you’ll get popped.’ When he tell you some sh*t like that, you go to picture him purchasing every house, you going to picture every light going off, and that sh*t silenced me.”

Nicki Minaj Treated A ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’ Concertgoer To Their Own Medicine After They Tossed Something At The Rapper Onstage

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B may not see eye to eye, but they do agree on one thing — disrespectful concertgoers should be dealt with immediately.

Yesterday (April 20), during Nicki’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour stop in Detroit, Michigan, an attendee attempted to ruin the event for everyone. As Nicki rapped her crossover hit “Starships” (despite vowing never perform it anymore), a ticket holder seemingly tossed an object at the musician.

Fortunately, the item didn’t make contact with Nicki. Instead, she blocked the trinket, then she hurled it back in the direction that it was thrown from. In the clip captured by a bystander, venue security was seen working their way to the section in question. However, it is unclear if the culprit was tracked down. The show continued without any further interruption.

At another point of the concert, Nicki surprised fans with a few guest cameos. To pay homage to the Motor City, she brought out two rappers from the city. One of those musicians was none other than hometown hero Big Sean. The duo performed their 2011 “Dance (Ass)” Remix.

Fellow Detroit native, Sada Baby, made his way onto the stage for a performance of his 2020 single “Whole Lotta Choppas.” Nicki was sure to deliver her viral verse from the song’s remix for all to recite back to her.

Nicki Minaj hasn’t addressed the incident online. So, all’s well that ends well.

Eminem previously reflected on his sobriety journey during a candid op-ed for XXL back in 2022. “Drugs became a part of the way I was living my life once I got signed,” he wrote at the time. “When I first came out to L.A., me and some guys I was hanging out with used to go to Tijuana and we would buy drugs. Vicodin and that kinda sh*t. I don’t know how many times we did it, but it was so easy to go back and forth to do it. The last time we went, we’re second in line and this dude in front of us starts arguing with the guy in Customs, and they f*ckin’ throw him down on the ground and start pulling pills out his pockets and sh*t. We were scared shitless, but we got through.” He explained that, had he been arrested, he “would’ve been done right then.”

Yung Miami Gets Called Out For Supporting JT Following Feud, She Fires Back

by

Last month, the City Girls found themselves wrapped up in a social media feud, after Yung Miami accused JT of sneak dissing her “for weeks.” From there, JT suggested that her fellow femcee was “playing d*mb,” and expressed interest in hashing things out in person. “I know I come off cr*zy but never in my life did no wack sh*t to this girl,” she also added. “She literally enjoys seeing me being dragged when ppl show me love she goes cr*zy & call it a hate train! But like I said we can sit & talk about it!”

Yung Miami then accused JT of “playing victim,” and claimed that her last two solo singles, “Sideways” and “No Bars,” were written about her. “Oh wow you’re really losing it!” she fired back. Shortly after, the two of them were able to work things out, and publicly made up. Now, JT is gearing up to release yet another solo single, “Okay.” She’s been promoting the track heavily on social media, urging fans to pre-save it.

Yung Miami Shows Love To JT’s New Song “Okay”

Yung Miami decided to hop online to show the song some love, posting a few lyrics from the anthem on Twitter/X yesterday. “I’m prettier than a mf hoes be looking okay!!!!” she wrote. Unfortunately, her post left many followers confused and throwing shade in her comments section. “You knew you never wanted to switch sides p*ssy,” one critic wrote, prompting her to respond. “Shut up P*SSY n***a!!!! Go suck some d*ck & get tf out my mentions,” she said. Clearly, she didn’t appreciate the call-out, and doesn’t plan on letting strangers dictate whether or not she supports her friend.

Jorja Smith, Lucky Daye & RealestK Fill Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

by

Another week, another R&B Season playlist update to round up the best of what the genre and its adjacent sounds had to offer this week as far as new releases. While we don’t have too much to talk about this time around, we wanted to focus on three cuts that really stood out among the rest of the pack. Moreover, the first of these is Jorja Smith’s reimagined version of her falling or flying cut, “Greatest Gift.” This time around, the percussion takes a bit of a softer approach, and it definitely feels a little more acoustic as far as the mix goes. In any case, it’s a curious comparison and one that doesn’t take away anything from the original while making this reimagining its own highlight with a killer piano solo.

Next up on our R&B Season playlist update is the latest single from Lucky Daye, “HERicane.” In contrast to the last track we talked about, this is a much funkier, more colorful, more vocally dynamic, and more summery offering that previews hotter months quite well. It’s got that disco charm despite a pretty stylistically different approach to the drums in particular, but it’s able to evoke an old-school sound without sounding too campy or dated. Overall, it just sounds really crisp and rich thanks to a lot of great interplay between its many instrumental and vocal elements.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Finally, we wanted to shout out the new single from RealestK, “Let Me Go.” What starts off as a sultry piano ballad eventually introduces those slow, minimal, and woozy rap-inspired percussion that sets the mood effortlessly. Vocally, this song is incredibly hazy, which can sometimes work to its detriment when the falsettos start to hit, but there’s also plenty of added atmosphere through background singing that makes up for it a bit. For those of you that want your contemporary R&B to stick to the most current traditions, this one’s probably for you.

Meanwhile, we wanted to ask what your favorite release of these was, as well as what else we missed this week that’s worth some praise. Let us know your thoughts and recommendations down in the comments section below. Also, if you haven’t heard any of these songs or our R&B Season playlist before, make sure to check it out above. As always, come back to HNHH for more news from your favorite artists and the latest releases around the clock.

Metro Boomin Denies Pusha T’s Involvement In Drake Beef

by

Kanye West’s “Like That” remix has really given a whole new set of possibilities in the Drake beef (which, at this point, is actually unfair to call a civil war when it’s more like a coup d’état). A lot of folks thought that Metro Boomin and Future would then call on even more people to join the battle, but if this specific example is anything to go off of, it seems like this was more Ye’s initiative than it was an agreement to any proposal from the duo. That’s because the St. Louis producer shut down rumors that Pusha T would be added into the mix with another rendition of “Like That.”

Moreover, folks allegedly saw a tweet in Metro Boomin’s likes that had an interesting proposition (we say “allegedly” because it’s not available anymore at press time). “I hope its pusha, not for the beef but i just need some new bars from him,” a user replied to someone previewing that who’s next on the remix will be something wild. When pages began to cover this and interpret it as a tease towards Pusha T verse on “Like That,” Metro replied to one in particular with a simple message: “fake news.” It’s unclear whether the false claim in question here is the Twitter like, the proposition, or both.

Metro Boomin Denies Rumors Of A Pusha T “Like That” Remix

Pusha T Drake Beef Diss Like That Remix Metro Boomin Response Hip Hop News
Screenshot via @MetroBoomin & @nfr_podcast, tweet link here

Either way, there are a couple of different reasons as to why Pusha T probably won’t be dissing Drake anytime soon. For one, time and time again, he’s made it clear via interviews, social media posts, and other communication methods that he’s not interested in returning to that ring. The Boy didn’t even respond to “The Story Of Adidon”; why should the Clipse MC bother? While he hasn’t been above teasing his former opponent about his loss, or joking about his unscathed emergence from that whole debacle, he probably doesn’t see this as an important battle unless, for some reason, Drizzy specifically seeks that smoke out six years later.

Meanwhile, as for the idea of a “Like That” remix itself, we know that the “Runaway” duo isn’t as tight as they used to be. As such, we doubt that Ye would be the one to bring his former G.O.O.D. Music affiliate into the fold. But rap fans can dream… Is it something you’d be excited about? Drop your takes in the comments section below and stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Metro Boomin, Pusha T, and Drake.
