Wack 100 Addresses Judge’s Refusal To Let Him Bail Keefe D Out Of Prison

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wack 100 sadly failed in his attempts to bail Keefe D out of prison, and returned to the very source of this failure to address it. Moreover, he hopped back to DJ Vlad’s studio for another VladTV interview, during which he talked about the judge blocking his bail attempts for the Tupac Shakur murder suspect due to questioning his motives. For those unaware, the court found that the music executive’s intentions in bailing Keefe out were questionable, as he posited making a media series out of his story and could not prove that he didn’t have a business incentive in his release.

Still, Wack 100 maintains that Keefe D is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and that said business dealings are lawful as a result. He remains committed to make some money with Keefe, real name Duane Davis, but it’s clear that his legal situation will impact their ability to collaborate and make something out of his story. Perhaps Wack’s course of action now is to stay out of the case until it wraps up, and then he can determine whether or not these business partnerships are viable.

Wack 100 Speaks On Keefe D’s Bail Situation

Elsewhere, Wack 100 has other hot takes and assessments to dish out, including his latest comments on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. “Of course Drake can come to California and L.A. and still move around. Ain’t nobody looking to do anything to Drake,” he recently shared on DJ Akademiks’ livestream. “A huge L for Drake,” Wack said of folks cosigning K.Dot. “The worst part about that was YG. [Drake] name-drops him. Drake can never perform that song and mention YG’s name.”

Meanwhile, it seems like Keefe D and his legal team are still confident that they could secure bond in the murder trial and eventually get him out of there. It’s overall been a pretty complicated and unclear legal process, especially since it deals in a decades-old crime and a whole lot of conflicting reports. And it’s not just Wack 100: we’re sure a lot of people would drop everything at the sign of making content about Keefe. So we’ll see how that develops, and whether there will be any legal repercussions for it.

Kendrick Lamar & Drake Beef Even Has Siri Glitching Out & Picking Sides

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While not everyone needs to take a side in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, it took over too many corners of pop culture for folks not to ask everyone they could about it. Apparently, the battle even captivated automated A.I. tech, because even Siri took somewhat of a stance on the showdown between these two MCs. Moreover, various clips have gone viral as of late of people asking Siri to play Drizzy’s Certified Lover Boy on Spotify, and instead playing K.Dot’s “Not Like Us” due to its… Well, you know the line it’s referencing. Still, this writer tested it out and it went right to CLB‘s opener “Champagne Poetry,” so either it’s an inconsistent response or someone fixed this glitch ASAP to not implicate Apple in the rap battle.

Jokes aside, it’s curious to see all the creative ways in which the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef has been referenced by other media and communities. For example, following Canada’s loss to Argentina, the Latin American fútbol team posted some social media content referencing “Not Like Us.” Speaking of sports, USA Basketball also played the West Coast banger after they beat Canada, so it looks like the country’s in for a surefire clap-back whenever they lose anything. It’ll make their victories all the more sweet, but it’s admittedly wild that this song will join the athletics canon.

Siri Mixes Up Kendrick Lamar & Drake In Viral Glitch

Also, Kendrick Lamar and Drake are trading blows in plenty of other areas. While “Not Like Us” and other Kendrick material is performing incredibly well commercially and even besting The Boy in some areas, he still has the most streamed rapper title over the Compton lyricist. Numbers aren’t everything, but in this war of attrition, they need all the points on their board they can get. We wonder if they tried this Siri thing, too…

Meanwhile, fans are going wild with theories that Drake will drop something against Kendrick Lamar soon, or that Kendrick is releasing a whole new album. Sadly, these rumors are just rumors at press time, although folks are ready for some more content to go wild over. Either of these releases would certainly provoke that reaction, so hopefully this isn’t the last we’ve heard from these MCs in 2024. We would prefer if they didn’t go for a Round Two, and instead just hope they’re energized to put this effort into their music rather than sending Siri an angry letter.

Drake Haunted By “Not Like Us” As USA Basketball Uses Kendrick Lamar’s Diss To Celebrate Win Over Canada

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The last few months have not been particularly kind to Drake. Overall, you can probably guess why we would say that. His beef against Kendrick Lamar started off on even footing. However, once “Meet The Grahams” and “Not Like Us” dropped, it became spooky for the Canadian. Since that time, “Not Like Us” has proven to be one of the biggest songs in the world. It continues to get millions of streams every day, and even the music video proved to be a success.

Last night, the song continued to haunt Drake on a National level. Team USA Basketball was facing off against Team Canada in a Pre-Olympics exhibition game. Overall, it was dominated by the United States which makes sense when you consider their roster. After the game, “Not Like Us” could be heard being blasted over the PA system. USA Basketball members celebrated and danced along to the track, rubbing it in Team Canada’s face even more.

Drake Cannot Escape The Song

This is not the first time that a Canadian athletics defeat led to “Not Like Us” chants. Following Argentina’s game against Canada on Tuesday, the Argentina soccer team’s Twitter account tweeted out a graphic that said “Not Like Us.” Needless to say, this song is not going anywhere, any time soon. While Drizzy is planning some summer music, it might be difficult for him to match the success of Kendrick’s latest smash.

Let us know what you think of Team USA Basketball using this song as a celebration, in the comments section down below. How do you feel about “Not Like Us” becoming such a huge phenomenon? Do you believe that it is deserved? 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 and their upcoming projects.

Ice Spice & Central Cee Are Going Strong In Touchy-Feely New TikTok

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice has a big month ahead. Overall, she is going to be dropping her debut album on July 26th. Y2K is one of the most anticipated releases of the entire year, and for good reason. However, fans are curious to see if it will end up living up to the hype. After a few hits in 2023, Spice’s 2024 output hasn’t been hitting the same, in the eyes of fans. That said, a few good songs on this project could certainly change how people look at her career.

In the midst of all of this, Ice Spice has found herself in the midst of some dating rumors. Over the last few days, the artist has been spotted out and about with Central Cee. The UK artist has name-dropped women artists in the past, and now he finds himself cozying up with Ice Spice. Last night, the two posted a TikTok together, and it is clear they are getting quite close. Below, you can see Central Cee spinning the New York rapper in a rolling chair while getting touchy-feely.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Interestingly enough, some fans over on The Shade Room aren’t so convinced of this new relationship. “This relationship is just as real as Rubi Rose & Druski’s 30-Day Trial Relationship,” one person wrote. “It’s giving publicity. It’s giving engagement. It’s giving marketing team. Yall let these celebs play yall like a fiddle,” said another. Overall, it’s clear that fans are feeling skeptical. Although given the history of fake celebrity relationships, it is easy to understand why.

Let us know what you think about these two, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Ice Spice and Central Cee are really together? Or do you believe that this is a fake relationship for social media and promotion? 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 and their upcoming projects.

Young Thug’s Kids Threaten To Wack Gunna In Scathing New Diss Song

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug and Gunna are not the friends they once were. It’s hard to imagine they ever will be. The former is still in the midst of a RICO charge, and the latter has walked. It’s widely assumed that Gunna snitched on Young Thug to avoid prison time. That said, the rapper has repeatedly stated that the “rat” claims are false. It hasn’t helped much. Kendrick Lamar cast Gunna in an unflattering light when he named him on “Euphoria.” Now, Young Thug’s kids are getting in the act. Admittedly, their reference to Gunna is a lot more aggressive.

Young Thug’s sons posted a snippet of an untitled diss song on Instagram. The duo can be seen dancing and showing off money stacks. It’s the bars, however, that definitely draw the most attention. The duo makes reference to multiple targets, but Gunna gets it the worst. “And Bentley a rat he keep leaving states,” one of the kids raps. “And Gunna get whacked if he don’t leave L.A.” It’s not clear whether Young Thug gave the thumbs up to these bars, but it shocked viewers enough to question his parenting in the comments. Some users claimed that Thugger will be disappointed by the diss. Others considered the legal ramifications. They worried the diss could be used against the rapper during the YSL trial.

Young Thug’s Kids Urged Gunna To Leave Los Angeles

Young Thug has had some controversial takes on parenting in the past. He lobbied to have full custody of his 12 kids during a Twitter rant in 2015. He felt that he had the means to provide for all of them, unlike the women he had the kids with. “I got a mansion with 12 empty bedrooms waiting for them,” he wrote. “I refuse to come on Cleveland Ave. That’s called backtracking. Just wanna no [why] should a peasant with no job, or future, or apartment/house/condo have custody of a rich mans child.”

Young Thug doubled down on this line of thinking during a 2022 Instagram Live. He went as far as to claim that people who are broke shouldn’t procreate. “We need new rules. We need a new oath,” the rapper asserted. “If you dead broke, if you a broke-a*s n**ga, you should not be able to n*t. You’re bringing poor kids into this world, f*ck n**ga. You’re making n**gas rob, and kill and steal because you’re running around with no type of career, no nothing.”

NLE Choppa Is Scared To Shoot His Shot At New Crush Billie Eilish

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NLE Choppa is honest with his fans. It’s one of the reasons his music resonates. It’s also why he used one of his own songs, “Slut Me Out 2,” to tell the world that he has a crush on Billie Eilish. The rapper hopped on TikTok on July 10 and danced to his song while a message on the screen read: “I got a crush on Billie Elish [sic].” Spelling error aside, the TikTok caught the attention of viewers, if for nothing else the sheer randomness of the selection. NLE Choppa had more to say on the matter, though.

The rapper posted a second TikTok in which he lamented being “bored.” Then a third in which he tries to stretch his legs and flailing them around in frustration. The latter also came with a message that put the bizarre outburst into (some) context. “If I shoot my shot at Billie and it don’t work out,” he wrote. Strange as this whole string of TikToks may seem, this is actually something that NLE Choppa has done before. The rapper is only a few months removed from shooting his shoot with another artist, GloRilla.

NLE Choppa Previously Crushed On GloRilla

NLE was a big fan of GloRilla’s IG thirst traps, and voiced his interest during an interview with AllHipHop. “She’s getting a little thicker. We see you,” he announced. “That a** getting fat now, Glo… She must’ve been on her oats. She ‘bout one more picture away before I’m just there with it.” NLE and GloRilla never linked up, as far as the public knows. Unfortunately, the same is going to be true for the rapper and Billie Eilish, based on the latter’s recent comments about dating.

Billie Eilish was asked about her love life during a March interview with People Magazine. She asserted that she’s “never dating again,” but walked the comment back with a more fleshed-out response. “That’s not true, obviously,” she conceded. “But no, I don’t see myself being serious with anyone until I find someone that really feels right to me, and that is not interesting to me right now.” Billie Eilish’s last serious relationship, with Jesse Rutherford, came to an end in May 2023.

NLE Choppa Admitted He Has A Crush On Billie Eilish, And He’s Scrambling To Figure Out His Next Move

July 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NLE Choppa released “Sl*t Me Out 2” in April, but the Memphis rapper is still promoting the aggressively, explicitly confident single on TikTok.

On Wednesday, July 10, NLE Choppa used the song to soundtrack a TikTok showing him dancing alongside the written message, “I got a crush on Billie Elish [sic].” NLE posted another TikTok in which he’s dancing to “Sl*t Me Out 2” because he’s so “boredddd” before posting one showing him awkwardly attempting to stretch his leg out and flailing like a disappointed child when he lacked any flexibility whatsoever and failed. “If I shoot my shot at Billie and it don’t work out,” the TikTok reads.

Tip No. 1 would be to spell Billie Eilish’s name correctly, but NLE Choppa’s chances don’t seem promising. Regardless, nobody can blame NLE for crushing on Eilish. Even Finneas admitted to Billie on Hot One Versus, “You look good in the dumbest f*cking clothing.”

NLE Choppa also addressed on commenter asking, “What happened to Sophie Rain?” That TikTok displayed the message “Locked in with Sophie til I rest in peace” while soundtracked by NLE’s “Stickin And Movin.”

In late June, NLE Choppa and influencer Sophie Rain posted two TikToks lip-syncing to “Sl*t Me Out 2,” which have since been viewed a collective 27.2 million times. (This is officially the most 2024 post ever.)

Watch all of NLE Choppa’s TikToks below.

The Game Gets Torched By Rick Ross After Losing Two Massive Lawsuits

July 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross is a professional troll. Of all the rappers involved in the Drake battle, Rozay was the one who seemed like he was having the most fun. The Game tried to capitalize on Ross’ propensity for beef by dropping a diss song, but the MMG honcho laughed it off. He refused to engage The Game on record, forcing the beef to come to an end before it even started. Or so we thought. The Game ran into some severe legal troubles on July 10, and Ross couldn’t resist but throw a few digs his opponent’s way.

The Game was sued for sexual battery by Priscilla Rainey in 2016. The rapper refused to show up in court, however, which led to him losing said lawsuit. Rainey then filed a second lawsuit against Game, claiming he’d been using shell companies to avoid making payments. She won that one too. The losses have been so significant that Rainey plans to seize The Game’s house as part of judgment she’s owed. AllHipHop broke the news, and Rick Ross posted the article on his Instagram Story. He then posted a screenshot in which he dropped the article in The Game’s DMs.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Needless to say, The Game didn’t appreciate the roasting. He responded to Ross by going after the rapper’s weight. “Even if I lost my house, which I’m not,” The Game wrote. “You still gonna be a fat b*tch n**ga! That Ozempic gone kill you before the twinkies do h*e a*s n**ga.” In typical Rick Ross fashion, he laughed the response off. He posted the interaction on his IG stories with the caption: “Since we @ n**gas, here you go b*tch!”

This is the first time that Rick Ross has been the aggressor in The Game situation. The MMG stalwart didn’t bat an eye when The Game dropped “Freeway’s Revenge,” or when The Game posted an AI photo of Ross in a CO uniform. Unfortunately, the interaction continues a tough streak for the Compton rapper. His relationship with Kendrick Lamar has been questioned amidst the Drake battle, and his absence from the “Pop Out” show led to him getting on IG Live and defending his stance. He claimed things were good between him and Lamar, but fans remain dubious.

Gordo Seemingly Teases New Drake Music By Posting Cryptic Release Date

July 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gordo has really come up in the 2020s. He’s been a DJ for nearly twenty years, but his collabs with Drake have introduced him to a whole new audience. Unsurprisingly, Gordo and Drake have stayed in touch, and continued to collaborate. The former went as far as to suggest that a new collab is going to drop by the end of the week. He posted a video and a photo with the text: “July 12” written over them. The content in both posts is either a supreme case of trolling or a true tease of new Drake.

The video that Gordo posted on his Instagram was taken from the Flagrant podcast. The producer does not appear in the video, but Andrew Schulz and the rest of the panel make reference to him working with Drizzy. “[Drake] does something like that,” the panelist explained. “He did it with Gordo. He saw that this is what people are f**cking with and did it.” The aforementioned photo is even more blatantly meant to evoke the 6 God. It’s a photo of Drake’s Toronto mansion, taken from the inside of a vehicle. July 12 is written across the top of both posts, which aligns with standard Friday rollout for new music.

Gordo Has Been Hinting At New Drake Music Since May

It’s worth noting that Gordo has cried wolf before. In May, the producer posted a photo alongside Drake with the caption: “You guys reader for summer 2024…” It stirred up so much hype that the IG photo was reposted by DJ Akademiks. As we all know, there was no new Gardo and Drake that followed. A generous reading would be that the release was delayed, and that the song Gardo was referencing is actually the one he’s teasing for July 12. If this Friday comes and goes with nothing from either artist, however, then Gordo credibility as a source will start to wane.

Gordo isn’t the only one claiming new Drake music is on the way. DJ Akademiks claimed that fans should get ready during a Twitch stream on July 8. In contrast to Gordo, Akademiks’ claim was plain and simple. “Drake new music otw,” he told his viewers. “And it’s fye… trust me.” The internet personality has been so adamant about the impending release that he’s actually shot down rumors from other outlets. When fans theorized that Drake would be sampling Michael Jackson’s “Man In the Mirror,” Ak stomped on the story. “Not true,” he tweeted. The good news is, fans won’t have to wait much longer.
