Fans Troll Rick Ross With Old Lyrics After Getting Stomped In Fight With Drake’s “Crew”

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

People across the internet are letting Rick Ross hear it after a vicious fight with alleged Drake fans. It is quite the bad look, as him and his crew were getting taken out left and right. One member of his entourage was repeatedly kicked and punched into the ground. Another got knocked out cold, and Ross even ate a nasty jab to the face during all of it as well. Drake seemingly appreciated what his fellow Canadians did for him, as he liked a post recapping the night’s event. 50 Cent piled on as well, writing on Instagram, “LMAO THE GREAT ESCAPE! MEEKA CALL THE CHASERS, THEY ARE CHASING ME. LOL”.

Even his ex Tia Kemp was having lots of fun with it, showing absolutely no remorse. “They f***in’ his fat a** up. I’m glad they smacked the s*** out yo big a**”. However, Rick Ross is doing his best to downplay all of this. “I thought they were bottle service boys ha! Vancouver was fun, til next time”, the MMG label head said via an IG Story. However, his attempt to look tough after the fight is not working because fans are now getting in on the action.

Rick Ross Was The One Not Ready Fight It Seems

Rick Ross made a feeble attempt to write a substantial diss track while Drake was trading records with Kendrick Lamar. The Mississippi native put out “Champagne Moments” earlier on in the feud and it did not perform well. Additionally, the lyrics and jabs taken were also not that strong and now the track and Ross are getting clowned again. After not doing much during the fight in Vancouver (besides getting socked), fans are trolling him with this bar, “Like his moves, but he never had a fight in school / Always ran“. Even though Ross has done his best to embarrass Drake at every turn, it seems he is the one with egg on his face.

What are your thoughts on fans digging up this lyric from “Champagne Moments” by Rick Ross after the fight? Does this make him look even worse afterwards, why or why not? Does this confirm Drake’s first win in the entire beef? Will Rick Ross recover from this quickly? 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 Rick Ross and Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Cardi B Clarifies She’ll “Never Turn Republican” Despite Not Supporting Joe Biden

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B has told fans not to worry over her political affiliation and that despite not supporting President Joe Biden, she’ll never vote for a Republican. The topic arose on social media when one fan online wrote of Cardi: “She may have betrayed our country and turned Republican but at least she found a nice tune.” She fired back in the replies: “I will never turn Republican lol.”

Cardi began distancing herself from Biden before his recent disappointing performance against Donald Trump in the first presidential debate. Speaking with Rolling Stone back in May, she explained that she doesn’t like either of the main candidates in this year’s election.

“It’s just like, damn, y’all not caring about nobody. Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any f*cking thing,” she said. “[America] don’t pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through sh*t for a very long time. There’s countries [where] kids are getting killed every single day, but because the [US] won’t benefit from that country, they won’t help. I don’t like that America has this superhero cape on. We never did things to be superheroes. We did things for our own convenience.” Check out her latest comments on politics below.

Cardi made the recent clarification after sharing a snippet of new music on social media. She’s still working on her highly anticipated sophomore album, which is expected to drop at some point this year. It will follow her iconic 2018 album, Invasion of Privacy. Be on the lookout for further updates on Cardi B on HotNewHipHop.

Cardi B Declares She ‘Will Never Turn Republican’ Despite Not Supporting Joe Biden In The 2024 Election

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you’re not clear where Cardi B stands politically, let her be the first to tell you that she will “never” become a Republican.

In response to a clip of Cardi previewing a new song, an X (formerly Twitter) user wrote yesterday (July 1), “she may have betrayed our country and turned Republican but at least she found a nice tune.” Cardi replied, “I will never turn republican lol.”

I will never turn republican lol

— Cardi B (@iamcardib) July 2, 2024

The user’s comment was presumably referencing Cardi recently distancing herself from Joe Biden. In a Rolling Stone feature shared in May, Cardi confirmed she doesn’t intend to vote in the upcoming election, saying of Biden and Donald Trump, “I don’t f*ck with both of y’all n****s.”

Cardi also said, “It’s just like, damn, y’all not caring about nobody. Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any f*cking thing.” She added later, “[America] don’t pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through sh*t for a very long time. There’s countries [where] kids are getting killed every single day, but because the [US] won’t benefit from that country, they won’t help. I don’t like that America has this superhero cape on.

Drake Celebrates Canada Day By Smoking Hookah With Kevin Durant

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s approval rating is not high at the moment. The rapper lost to Kendrick Lamar, and several other rappers have taken Lamar’s side. Drake has also seemingly lost the support of several athletes that he was believed to be cool with. That being said, one athlete who the 6 God has seemingly maintained a relationship with is Kevin Durant. The two celebrities go way back, and they kicked back at Drake’s Toronto mansion on July 1 to celebrate Canada Day.

Drake was pretty active on social media throughout the holiday. He posted a video message, as well as several photos of him smoking hookah. It wasn’t until later in the day, however, that he posted a photo of him and Kevin Durant on his Instagram Story. The two appear to be sitting in Drake’s backyard. Durant has a drink in front of him, and Drizzy has his beloved hookah. It may seem odd that Durant has Drake’s back in light of the recent, “Not Like Us”-sized L he took. But the Phoenix Suns star has always been on the rapper’s side. In the midst of the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle, Durant seemingly chose the 6 God side. He posted a screenshot of the rapper’s 2021 song “No Friends In the Industry” on his IG Story.

Drake And Kevin Durant Have Been Friends For A Decade

Their bond goes back a decade, however. Drake referenced Durant on his verse for the 2012 single “Pop That.” “OVO that’s major sh*t, Toronto with me that’s mayor sh*t,” he rapped. “Gettin cheddar packs like K.D., OKC that’s player sh*t.” He referenced him again on 2016’s “Weston Road Flows.” Durant was very humbled by the shout-outs, and gave Drake his flowers in return during a Sneaker Reporter interview. He went as far as to call the Toronto icon his favorite rapper. “When your favorite rapper puts your name in a song,” he explained. “It makes you feel like you’ve made it, no matter what you’ve done.”

Durant then went from reference point to musical role player on 2023’s For All the Dogs. The athlete was credited as an official A&R on the album. When asked what he did specifically in the studio, Durant told NBA reporters that he merely facilitated conversation. “I’m just there for him whenever Drake wants to talk about life,” he said. “And he just gave me that title.” Perhaps Durant is providing conversation and inspiration for whatever Drake will release next.

Similar to professional sports, music is a competitive arena. The 2024 Paris Olympics has only heightened the tension in the air. But the lighthearted mashups of competitors in the games and music’s biggest stars has shown just how interwoven things are.

Last month, Snoop Dogg vowed to give up smoke (but for real this time) to cover the showdowns. Yesterday (July 1), SZA relived her inner gymnast dreams with Simone Biles.

In the pair’s sit down, SZA showed off her freakishly flexible skills in a friendly handstand battle. When asked about her abilities, the “Saturn” singer revealed to Biles that before pursuing a career in music, she trained to be a gymnast. Biles then asked what made her leave the life of an athlete behind.

“When it was clear to me that I wasn’t going to be a national gymnast,” she said. “I was like, ‘Ok, let me see what I can do. See what else I could do.”

SZA took to Instagram to share the episode and praise Biles. “I was SO honored to hang out with you, Simone Biles ,” she wrote. “THIS FELT LIKE A FEVER DREAM. Good luck at your THIRD Olympic Games ! #ParisOlympics.”

Watch the full conversation behind SZA and Simone Biles below.

Shyne Criticized For Not Paying Off Settlement To 1999 Shooting Victim

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shyne’s career was permanently disrupted in 1999. The rapper and heir apparent to Biggie was arrested and sentenced to a decade in prison for shooting a woman named Natania Reuben. Shyne has continued to release music, but his legacy is defined by this incident. Calling it a complicated legacy, however, is an understatement. Reuben claims that Shyne did not actually shoot her, but won a settlement against the rapper for his involvement in the incident. A settlement that he’s apparently yet to pay.

Natania Reuben blasted Shyne during an interview on The Art of Dialogue. She not only called the rapper names, but declared that he still owed her money. “Shyne did not shoot me because he didn’t, but Shyne is a con artist,” she claimed. “Everybody’s like, ‘Oh, we know Shyne was innocent.’ No, you don’t know… Because he’s far from innocent.” The concept that Shyne is “innocent” is something the rapper has been quick to put forth after his release. He told Chanel 5 Belize that he took the fall for artists who were more powerful than him. Reuben dismissed this narrative as being the rapper’s attempt at political power in his native country.

Shyne Has Maintained His Innocence In The Shooting

“He’s going to jockey off of me,” the shooting victim asserted. “Saying Shyne didn’t shoot me to try to leverage himself to get that prime minister seat. You ain’t nothing but a penny Annie Shyer, a shady car salesman, a dressed-up fraud, a liar.” Worse, still, according to Reuben, the rapper has yet to make good on his financial responsibilities. The victim claimed that the rapper is driving a Maybach around Belize, yet has not paid her what she is owed. “You still owe me money,” Reuben added. “In the settlement, Shyne was responsible… He didn’t have the money to pay [then].”

Natania Reuben was paid $1.8M by Diddy, however, after the incident. It was a sizable amount, but it also prompted decades of alleged harassment against Reuben at the mogul’s behest. The victim claimed that Diddy flattened the tires on her vehicle on several occasions. “Not only did he pew pew me in the face,” she stated. “He also set off a course of harassment against me for the past 24 years.” Diddy has repeatedly denied these claims.

Megan Thee Stallion Has Fellow H-Town Hottie Beyoncé To Thank For Her New Tequila Brand

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Viewers of the 2024 BET Awards are still intoxicated by last night’s (June 30) ceremony. From Usher’s hotly debate Lifetime Achievement Award tribute to the flurry of individual performances, watchers have found a way to extend the televised celebration. One of the night’s entertainers, Megan Thee Stallion’s latest business venture, has something to keep the party going.

On May 19, the “Down Stairs DJ” rapper teased that she was gearing up to launch a tequila brand. Today (July 1) during her appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Megan revealed that she has fellow Houston hottie Beyoncé to thank for the business’ formation.

When host Shannon Sharpe asked Megan about her next chapter as an independent artist, she revealed that it has leveled her up in all ways with the guidance of Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

“When I was in the situation with [1501] and I wanted to get out of it, they told me you need to do this on your own,” she said. “Like, ‘You already know what it is. You already have all the tools. All the legal sh*t you are going through, I know you are learning something. So you should figure out how to get out here and be your own boss.’”

Megan then opened up about the suggestion Beyoncé made. “Beyoncé is actually the person that inspired me to get my own tequila,” she said. “Because I used to be the cognac queen. I still am the cognac queen. But as much as I used to enjoy cognac, and I’ve promoted a lot of people’s liquor brands, she was like, ‘the next time I see you, you better have your own. You need to have your own alcohol.’”

Lil Mama Calls Nicki Minaj A Musical Prostitute After BET Awards Win

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Mama is no stranger to controversy. The rapper infamously crashed a performance by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, and her career never recovered. This did not stop her, however, from giving her thoughts on Nicki Minaj. The Young Money superstar won Best Female Hip-Hop Artist at the BET Awards, and instead of congratulating her, Lil Mama decided to tear down her entire career. Lil Mama not only criticized Minaj for her sexualized persona, but claimed that she’s had a negative impact on the genre.

The rant came about via social media on July 1. Lil Mama decided to get into it with Minaj’s infamous fan base, and she did not hold back. She labeled Minaj a “musical prostitute” and proceeded to get meaner from there. “What major musical prostitutes from the last do you remember from the last 15 years,” she wrote. “Who do you think they watched corporate give a platform and flowers for sitting out. Be forreal.” Lil Mama then pointed to Minaj’s influence on the current wave of female rappers. Not in a positive light, either. “They are laughing at us, and the award was a ‘thanks to you, now we have 7, 8, 9 of ’em.’”

Lil Mama Previously Took Credit For Nicki Minaj’s Style

Several users came to Nicki Minaj’s defense. Some claimed that Lil Mama would have been on the BET stage if she were invited. She responded to this by drawing a line in the sand between her and Minaj. “Are you saying that I would have been performing be selling p**sy too or just performing,” she asked. The “Lil Gloss” rapper then tried to tweak her message to assume a more positive perspective. “It’s all love,” she wrote. “God is the greatest and these women are gonna wake up and realize that they are worth more than any price tag.”

This is not the first time Lil Mama has had critiques for Nicki Minaj. Ironically, the first time she did was to accuse Minaj of copying her style. “My cut is blunt and futuristic and Nicki Minaj started wearing that bob on her head after she came to my show,” the rapper told MTV in 2011. “At the end of the day I know what I do. And I know what I possess and I know who I am. I’m a trendsetter.” Things have obviously changed over the last decade, and now Lil Mama sees herself as an antidote to, rather than an inspiration for, the biggest female rapper of all time.

Wack 100 Claims Drake Is Still Safe In California Despite Kendrick Battle

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake has been living in a “Not Like Us” world. The rapper has been drowned up by Kendrick Lamar’s number one diss record. Especially in California. Lamar’s “Pop Out” show solidified him as the king of the West Coast, and even alluded to Drake’s “California love” running out on the aforementioned song. “You think the Bay gon’ let you disrespect ‘Pac, n**ga” he spit. “That Oakland show might be your last stop, n**ga.” According to Wack 100, however, the truth is less severe.

The music executive recently went on DJ Akademiks’ live stream to discuss Drake’s California status. He told Ak that there’s a man named Wacko in Compton called for a ceasefire during the rap beef. “[He’s] a very influential dude,” Wack 100 claimed. “Impeccable track record. He’s the one that called the dog, to where [there was] no more diss records.” The executive also made note of the fact that Wacko was in the now iconic photo that Lamar took onstage during the “Pop Out” show. Wack 100 went on to explain that Wacko’s reputation allowed him to exert control over Lamar’s camp, and ensure that things go too far in the Drake conflict.

Wack 100 then clarified what was on Ak’s and everybody’s mind. Yes, apparently Drake is fine to move around on the West Coast. “If they respect Wacko enough to communicate with him, and Kendrick and them respect Wacko,” the executive noted. “Of course Drake can come to California and L.A. and still move around. Ain’t nobody looking to do anything to Drake.” It’s worth noting that Wack 100 has been pro-Drake, and anti-Kendrick Lamar, in the past. The executive claimed that Drake was beating Lamar after the Compton emcee dropped “Euphoria.” Wack 100 felt that Lamar’s diss lacked energy, and was repetitive given what Pusha T had said about Drake in years prior.

That being said, Wack 100 changed his tune. Lamar’s subsequent releases, coupled with the “Pop Out,” made him a believer. Wack also pointed to Lamar’s co-signs as a big reason as to why Drake’s own diss, “Family Matters,” has aged poorly. “A huge L for Drake,” he admitted. The worst part about that was YG. [Drake] name-drops him. Drake can never perform that song and mention YG’s name.” Drizzy may be spiraling, but at least he’s safe.

Why Did PartyNextDoor Diss Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, And Jeremih?

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the immortal words of Erykah Badu, artists are sensitive about their sh*t. But, time and time again, the public has learned there are also easily irritated but others’ works.

Just when music fans thought the tumultuous trend of beef soundtracked by song (Kendrick Lamar versus Drake, Megan Thee Stallion versus Nicki Minaj, Latto versus Ice Spice, Chris Brown versus Quavo) was over, PartyNextDoor seems to be throwing his hat in the ring. Yesterday (June 30), all eyes were on the 2024 BET Awards. But the “For Certain” singer was focused on airing out fellow musicians Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, and Jeremih. So, why did PartyNextDoor send shots their way?

Continue below for more details.

Why Did PartyNextDoor Diss Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, And Jeremih?

On June 30, PartyNextDoor supposedly pulled a tweet-and-delete. In a screenshot captured by users online, PartyNextDoor dissed Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, and Jeremih after learning that his ex-girlfriend, Desma Triplett (Tripp), previously known as Desma Dooney, was featured in the trio’s latest video for single, “Wait On It.”

“I’m finna make these n****s cry,” he wrote. “Bryson, Chris, and Jeremih… enjoy the nights of your life.”

PartyNextDoor then penned a message to his former love: “Doing videos at 34, that b*tch broke.” Users online slammed his attempt to age shame Desma, considering she made appearances in other visuals, including Cardi B’s “Up” (according to Capital Xtra).
