Drake Heaps Praise On “Late Night Serenader” PartyNextDoor In Birthday Tribute

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake labeled PartyNextDoor the “late night serenader” who makes “melodies that persuade her” in a birthday tribute on his Instagram Story on Wednesday. The OVO singer turned 31 years old on July 3rd. He was famously the first artist to sign with Drake’s iconic record label. “More life to the late night serenader 6 side sound creator owl gang crusader melodies that persuade her baby making music to put her in labour none greater @partynextdoor,” Drake captioned a photo of the singer. “Stay tuned real soon.”

When Our Generation Music reposted the message on Instagram, fans made plenty of references to Drake’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. On Lamar’s track, “Not Like Us,” he disses several of Drake’s associates, at one point rapping: “Party at the party, playin’ with his nose now.”

Party made headlines, earlier this week, for feuding with Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, and Jeremih. After they all teamed up for “Wait On It,” Party posted on X (formerly Twitter): “I’m finna make these n***as cry… Bryson Chris; and Jeremih… enjoy, the nights, of your life. Doing videos, at 34, that b***h broke. I know 5 rnb singers who broke.” His ex, Desma, made an appearance in the music video for the group’s collaboration. After Party deleted the post, Brown came out and claimed that the OVO Sound singer attempted to apologize to him. “N****s speak without thinking sometimes… then call around to my people trying to retract sh*t,” he wrote on X. “NAW N***A, go on your socials and apologize or keep that same energy when you see me.” Hours later, Party posted: “To be clear, I got nothing but love n respect for those guys…. sh*t happens.”

Billboard Of Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” Concert Appears In California

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar not only took down one of the titans of the rap game in Drake, but he also unified an entire segment of the genre. The iconic Compton, California MC did so through orchestrating an incredible one-time concert called The Pop Out – Ken and Friends. It took place a few weeks ago, and it is still fresh in a lot of fans’ minds. Honestly, it will probably never be forgotten amongst the community, as it generated amazing moments galore. To help immortalize The Pop Out even more, a billboard reusing the photo of Kendrick Lamar and other West Coast greats has now appeared in Inglewood.

Complex‘s Instagram account shared the image, and it is equally awesome as the original picture. It also borrows the “Not Like Us” title in a clever and simple way with the billboard reading, “Us.” Below that, you can see that it was a collaboration with Lamar’s pgLang label, Amazon Music, among other entities. This really signifies how impactful this victory was even beyond one rapper. When Kendrick rapped on “euphoria”, “I’m what the culture feelin’“, it is incredible how accurate that statement is.

While the debate between who won between him and Drake is totally out of the question, the only thought that now remains is, “When will the “Not Like Us” video drop? There have been several headlines surrounding the alleged filming of its visuals, but nothing in terms of when it is coming. Just like The Pop Out, it figures to be another major moment in this event-packed timeline. Kendrick’s victory lap can last as long as it wants in our opinion.

What are your thoughts on this Kendrick Lamar Pop Out billboard in Inglewood, California? Is this event going to go down as one of the most iconic moments in hip-hop history, why or why not? Is this West Coast officially on top of the rap world right now? Do you think he will drop a music video for “Not Like Us” sooner than later? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kendrick Lamar. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Diddy Tries To Sell LA Mansion For $70M Amid Federal Sex Trafficking Investigation

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Diddy is wrapped up in a lot of legal drama as of late. Reportedly, however, that hasn’t stopped him from trying to offload one of his mansions. According to TMZ, the Bad Boy Records founder has been trying to sell his Los Angeles home off market for roughly $70 million. This is quite a bit more than the $40 million he initially paid for it back in 2014.

It’s unclear exactly why he’s decided to sell the massive property, though the outlet claims he’s looking to get out of LA for good, and won’t be searching for another home once it sells. This is the same mansion that Homeland Security raided earlier this year as a part of a federal human trafficking investigation, so it’s safe to say that it’s got some bad memories attached to it. Unfortunately for Diddy, the outlet’s source says the mansion is unlikely to go for as much as he’s hoping for.

These days, Diddy’s been spending a lot of his time in Miami, where he owns another mansion that was raided this year. Earlier this week, he was also spotted escaping the city to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He went on a white water rafting excursion with a group of friends and a guide. As for the mogul’s legal troubles, a grand jury is reportedly hearing evidence in his case.

It’s unclear when they plan to decide whether or not to indict him for his alleged crimes. What do you think of Diddy trying to sell his LA mansion amid his ongoing legal issues? What about him asking for far more than he paid for it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Skilla Baby Doesn’t Believe Eminem Is The Best Rapper In Detroit

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Skilla Baby shared a hot take regarding Eminem and the city of Detroit during an appearance on the Baby, This is Keke Palmer podcast. Speaking with the actress, Skilla argued that the legendary artist isn’t the best rapper out of his hometown. Instead, he says the title is constantly switching hands.

“Numbers wise, Eminem is the best Detroit rapper but the gag is nobody would say that in Detroit. Everybody had a turn being Detroit’s favorite rapper,” he said. “Sada Baby had a turn, Tee Grizzley had a turn, Babyface Ray had a turn, Veeze is one of Detroit’s best rappers, Baby Smoove. Everybody had their turn being the best in the city. What we lack is consistency. Nobody has consistently been Detroit’s favorite rapper.”

From there, Skilla added: “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.” Afterward, he listed some other artists he forgot to mention as well. “No shade to anybody names I left off Detroit is full of great rappers and I can’t forget Kash Doll, Big Sean, and Dej [Loaf] of course,” he concluded. Check out Skilla’s full interview with Keke Palmer below.

Skilla Baby Speaks With Keke Palmer

Skilla’s controversial take comes as Eminem prepares for the release of his next album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). He dropped the project’s second single “Tobey,” featuring Big Sean and Babytron, earlier this week. The full album will be hitting streaming services on July 12.

Central Cee & Ice Spice Spark Dating Rumors Online After Supposedly Riding In The UK Rapper’s Lambo: Watch

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though Central Cee and Ice Spice are from different countries, they actually share quite a bit in common. Both are major faces in the current hip-hop landscape due in part to their drill hits. Additionally, each have won similar Best New Artist awards at the BRITs and MTV show, respectively. So, why couldn’t Central Cee and Ice Spice start dating? Well, the internet is starting to believe that could be a real possibility. Several hours ago, the “Doja” hitmaker shared a short video on his Instagram Story of him cruising through what appears to be downtown London.

Cee was doing so in style as well, as he decided to take out his blue Lamborghini Urus SUV. This is not the part that is big news. Just moments later, Ice Spice posted a similar-looking blue dashboard on her Story, along with the location, London, UK. Fans were quick to make jokes surrounding this development under the repost from The Shade Room. Most of them centered around what their babies would look like. “That baby gonna be translucent”. Or, “They must be tryna have a Albino”, another user writes.

Are Central Cee & Ice Spice A Couple?!

The fact that dating rumors are flying everywhere is not all that surprising, though. Spice and Cee have been photographed on numerous occasions, especially later last year. Additionally, when the “Think U The S*** (Fart)” rapper was rising fast through the ranks, Cee was asked by Complex about what he thinks about her. He claimed he sees a lot of the same in her, personality wise in particular. “She reminds me of me a bit, she’s cool innit. Humble, down to earth, don’t really care too much about the shiny stuff; but knows how to play the game”. There is some speculation that the two could finally be releasing a song together soon after months of teasing. Either scenario is up in the air, and we are ruling them out in the slightest.

What are your thoughts on the dating rumors between Ice Spice and Central Cee? Are you buying into it, why or why not? If not, do you think this is just to promote a potential collaboration between them? Would you like to see them be the next hip-hop couple? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Ice Spice and Central Cee.

Las Vegas Aces Star A’ja Wilson Was Hilariously Eager To Name Beyoncé As The Artist She Wants To Do A Vegas Residency

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Las Vegas isn’t just where artists go to do long-term residencies when they need a break from touring. It’s also the home of several sports teams, including the WNBA’s Aces, who played the Indiana Fever on ESPN last night. Naturally, ESPN anchor Michael Eaves asked the Aces star forward A’ja Wilson after the game if there were any artists she wanted to see perform a residency in Vegas. The WNBA’s best player didn’t even let Eaves get the question out before responding with a relatable, one-word answer: Beyoncé.

“She doesn’t even have to come here for a residency,” she conceded. “She could just come to a game and just say ‘what’s up’ to us, and we’re fine, ’cause I know she got other stuff to do. Beyoncé, girl…”

https://twitter.com/brilewerke/status/180834517114418403

With the WNBA increasing in popularity lately, it doesn’t sound like a pipe dream (I, personally, am disappointed that Bey hasn’t hit up a game yet, though — maybe she was waiting for the Houston Comets to come back). The Chicago Sky’s rookie forward Angel Reese recently joined Megan Thee Stallion on stage during her tour stop in the Windy City, and the Phoenix Mercury duo of Brittney Griner and Natasha Cloud got Meg’s attention to invite her to a game when her tour reached the Valley of the Sun. Additionally, the W has been making in-roads into the world of music, tapping Kehlani to perform at last year’s All-Star Game and to narrate the launch video for the expansion team, the Golden State Valkyries. If Beyoncé does give the league a co-sign, its skyrocketing popularity would be supercharged, for sure.

Chris Brown Fan Debunks Viral Rumor He Offered $10K & Refund To Disabled Meet & Greet Attendee

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A fan of Chris Brown has clarified that the singer never offered them $10,000 or a refund of their ticket to a meet and greet. A viral post on X (formerly Twitter) shared a picture of the fan with Brown and added the caption: “This woman paid $1,111 for a ‘Meet & Greet’ with Chris Brown. When he saw her, refunded her money and also gave her an extra $10k, along with these beautiful pictures.”

Afterward, the fan took to social media to debunk the story. “What I’m not okay with is strangers on the internet using my face and exploiting my disability for likes and clicks while spreading misinformation,” she said. “That, we not gonna do. Just like everyone else, I support Chris as a brand and as an individual so if you see me at a show or meet and greet, please know that I paid for my ticket. I paid to get there.” Having been to numerous concerts before, she added that she and Brown have “built a great relationship.” In turn, Brown has offered free tickets and to upgrade her seats at certain events but it doesn’t happen often.

She went on to say that the story perpetuates a narrative “that individuals with disabilities don’t have jobs, we don’t function well in society.” She explained: “This going around takes away from everything that I personally did to get there. It takes away from the hours I work. It takes away from the things that I sacrificed to work the overtime, because I wanted to treat myself.” Check out her full comments on the situation below.

Big Sean Cites Being On Eminem’s “Tobey” As A “Full Circle” Moment

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean still is having a hard time wrapping his head around the fact that he has made it. Even after several successful records, major hits, and numerous big-time collaborations, it does not seem real somehow. The Detroit, Michigan native is still one of major players from his era, even without dropping a lot of music in the 2020s. However, his limited output is still of high quality. He dropped perhaps his best record to date with Detroit 2, a follow-up to his over decade old fan-favorite mixtape. Additionally, Sean has put out several singles, including his high-octane “Precision” which did not receive the proper praise as it dropped on the same day as “Like That”.

Now, Big Sean can add his fiery guest verse on Eminem’s recently-released “Tobey” single. He holds his own on it, going toe to toe with Slim Shady, as well as the new kid on the block, BabyTron. “I was immersed in the Murcié, I show ’em no mercy, I really was watchin’ the throne (For real) / N****s ain’t turnin’ me down, when my baby asleep only time that I’m watchin’ my tone, look (Shh)“. Sean is certainly a major reason as to why the song has been receiving so much love and because of it the hitmaker is now seeing this as a “full circle” moment.

Big Sean Looks Back At How Far He’s Come After “Tobey” Drops

Not gon hold you, Slim Shady LP was the first CD i bought wit my own money at Costco. 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…

— Sean Don (@BigSean) July 2, 2024

According to Billboard, Sean tweeted out about Em’s debut, The Slim Shady LP, being the first one he bought personally. He also cites how wild it has been to have now worked with someone he admires on four occasions and to see his growth since purchasing that classic album. “Not gon hold you, Slim Shady LP was the first CD i bought wit my own money at Costco. 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…”. The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) drops on July 12 and an accompanying music video for “Tobey” is coming Friday, July 5.

What are your thoughts on Big Sean’s tweet following his appearance on Eminem’s “Tobey”? Do they have any misses together, why or why not? Who had the strongest verse out of the two? Is Big Sean a top five Detroit rapper of all time? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Uncle Luke Calls Out Drake For Co-Signing Rick Ross Attack

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Uncle Luke slammed Drake in a video on social media, earlier this week, after the Toronto rapper seemingly liked a clip of of Rick Ross and his team getting jumped for playing Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” in Canada. Luke says it’s a dangerous move and condoning it is “unacceptable.”

“This whole fighting with my boy Rick Ross and his guys in Canada, that’s unacceptable,” he said. “That [isn’t] supposed to happen. And what’s more unacceptable is when Mr. Drake liked the post. I expect more out of Mr. Drake. When there is violence, you don’t condone it. Drake, you should be bigger than that. You don’t like no posts because here’s what happens: there’s always a backlash to it all.”

He added: “Even if you were not involved, half of the country thinks you set the man up. They book a show in Canada and you send your goons out there to agitate and start a fight with Ross. When you, Mr. Drake, liked the post, you inserted yourself into violence with Mr. Ross and his crew.” Check out Luke’s full comments on the recent altercation below.

Luke isn’t the only celebrity who voiced their displeasure with the beef after Ross’ altercation. Marlon Wayans also put out a statement calling for peace on his Instagram Story. Despite the incident, a rep. for Ross told TMZ in a statement: “Vancouver is a beautiful city and he can’t wait to go back.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Uncle Luke as well as the beef between Drake and Rick Ross on HotNewHipHop.

J Cole Supported By Trae Tha Truth Over Dropping Out Of Drake & Kendrick’s Beef

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the last couple of months, J Cole has been laying quite low after dropping out of the Kendrick Lamar beef. People have been commending the German-born MC for his decision to bow out, as most know it is not in his nature to get into beefs. However, there are still quite a few people out there who still lack respect for the “7 Minute Drill” MC. Him and Drake continue to receive criticism for essentially not doing anything of merit since taking their respective L’s. For example, countless jokes circled the internet after his questionable guest performance on Cash Cobain’s “Grippy”.

But there are hip-hop figures out there who are showing J Cole love, and that includes Trae Tha Truth. According to HipHopDX, the Houston, Texas rapper sat down with AllHipHop at the BET Awards this past weekend and showed nothing but compassion for the man. Overall, Trae feels like the media painted Cole in an egregiously negative light for removing himself from what has become an overtly violent beef at times. The smoky-voiced MC sees no issue with the apology as Trae knows that Cole does not move like that.

Trae Tha Truth Respects Cole For Bowing Out Of The Beef

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

“I watch blogs and I watch headlines make it as if he [Cole] was just trying to get away or duck any type of situation. And that wasn’t the case. What people have to realize is that’s just not the type of energy bro got. You know what I’m saying? He focused on him, he focused on his kids and just always stayed in his lane”. Trae elaborated further, “So everybody wanted to see him rumble and not knowing a lot of us came up together. We partners. So, for me, being a real brother to him, you got to respect if somebody like, ‘Man, you know what, bro? I know I’m dope. I’m not questioning myself. I just feel like that’s just not the energy that I’m on’”.

What are your thoughts on Trae Tha Truth backing J Cole’s decision to bow out of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef? Are you surprised that he feels this way, why or why not? Did it turn out to be the best case scenario after knowing what we know now? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.
