Kodak Black just tried to rob me for my Richard Mille,” he posted on the site. “Is every rapper broke? The guy smokes meth, probably insane. Kodak Black is 100% on drugs.” He’s since deleted the post.

As for Kodak’s response, he said at one point during the lengthy stream: “That’s why I hate drunk sh*t. I hate drunk sh*t. People always get beside they self. That’s why I don’t drink liquor no more. Why are you being prejudiced, sir? Have you saw me do any drugs? You made a tweet to the whole world like I wasn’t finna get on the internet and say, ‘Oh, SteveWillDoIt is a b*tch‘ I told you to your face and I threw your sh*t on the floor.”

June 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B says she doesn’t “condone violence” and it’s never the answer, except for some times when you “really gotta beat a b*tch ass.” She vented about having issues with certain individuals in a rant on social media that’s circulating online. Her comments come as she’s been feuding with BIA in recent weeks.

“I don’t condone violence and I don’t ever want people thinking that violence is the answer to something, especially because I’m a grown ass b*tch,” she began in a clip posted by Hollywood Unlocked. “But sometimes, you really gotta beat a b*tch ass. You really gotta beat these b*tches ass because some b*tches, they just don’t stop. They don’t get it. Like you could having a good day, you could be having bad day, you could be inactive on social media– b*tch, you could be dead and some b*tches they just don’t stop being f*cking annoying. Some b*tches just don’t stop poking you. Some b*tches just don’t stop throwing you subs, some b*tches just don’t stop being petty. It’s just like, ‘Damn. You really gotta slap a b*tch.’”

SZA Reveals How Her Songwriters Hall Of Fame Award “Validates My Entire Career”

June 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SZA says that receiving the Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall Of Fame Award has “validated” her entire career through this point. She discussed her reaction to the honor as well as what it means to her on stage at the 2024 Induction and Awards Gala, earlier this week.

“As an artist, I’ve been a lot of different people. I’ve been 200 pounds; I’ve been 130 pounds. I’ve been someone who doesn’t dance at all on stage… to someone who is dancing and trying their best and I think, ‘Oh man, I struggle with the artist thing,’ but writing was where I felt like a person, and I had value and showed that I was smart. It was beyond ‘Am I pretty? Am I Liked?’ and that meant everything to me. It made me feel like a person that was doing something worth something. Basically, receiving this award validates my entire career… Thank you for seeing me,” she said.

A number of iconic artists have been recipients of the Hal David Starlight Award in recent years. Some of the previous winners include John Legend, Ne-Yo, Drake, Lil Nas X, and Post Malone. “This is such an exciting time for songwriters and music. Phenomenal artists like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are pushing the envelope of what success looks like but who could argue that the last two years belong to SZA,” SHOF Chairman Nile Rodgers said in the statement as caught by Revolt. “Incredible songwriting, incredible performances, incredible artistry. She so deserves to be the 2024 recipient of the Hal David Starlight Award!”

Ice Cube Explains To Shaquille O’Neal Why He Blocked His Collaboration With Dr. Dre

June 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shaquille O’Neal recently brought on Ice Cube to his show, The Big Podcast, during which the legendary rapper revealed why he blocked Shaq from releasing a collaboration with Dr. Dre. The track was titled, “That’s Gangsta,” which addresses what Cube took issue with. He explained that O’Neal was “more than just gangsta” and a star of the Los Angeles Lakers at the time.

“Cube was executive producing one of my records,” Shaq said. “And he put me in the studio with Dr. Dre. I did a song called ‘That’s Gangsta.’ Cube heard it and was like, ‘Nope. We’re not releasing this.’ Dre did the beat. I thought it was nice … And then I played it for Cube … He was like, ‘Shaq, you’re a f*cking Laker, bro. I don’t want you talking about nothing gangsta. We not doing none of that sh*t.’ And it never came out.”

From there, Cube explained: “Shaq is a dope MC, but I just felt the record was off-brand for him because, to me, he’s more than just gangsta. He’s loved by millions, loved by kids. He already established that. And why go backward when you’re already forward? You’re already a household name.” Shaq wasn’t upset with the comments, instead suggesting it taught him an important lesson. “That taught me, Cube, stay true to who you are,” O’Neal said. “‘Cause I ain’t gonna lie. You guys wanna be basketball players, I wanted to be y’all growing up.” Check out the full interview below.

50 Cent Hints That The ‘Power Universe’ Will Expand Despite Several Series Coming To An End

June 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent’s transition to mogul has been a sight to witness. The “In Da Club” rapper struck TV gold with Power, and its spin-offs.

With Power Book II: Ghost starring Michael Rainey Jr. and now Power Book IV: Force with Joseph Sikora entering its final season, viewers are ready to say goodbye for good. However, yesterday (June 14), 50 Cent made it clear that Power Universe fans should expect something special rather soon.

While sharing the Sikora’s teaser video on the set of Force, 50 Cent used the post’s caption to hint at the beloved TV series’ future. “I’m glad all the fans have been so supportive of ‘Force,’” he wrote. “We have more heat coming, my ‘Power Universe’ is still expanding… wait till you see what I have up my sleeve, you haven’t seen the last of Tommy.”

Sikora echoed the sentiments in the clip. “When Gary Lennon and the other writers and I were mapping out our third season, we saw that we were telling a complete story,” he said. “And that this was the perfect opportunity to stay true to our artistic vision and make this the final chapter in Tommy’s journey in Chicago. But don’t worry, Tommy’s journey is far from over with. We’re just getting warmed up, and I can’t wait to show you what we have planned next.”

Power Book II: Ghost is available for viewing on STARZ network and the STARZ app. Find more information here.

A Touring Production Company Is Reportedly Suing Lil Uzi Vert For Over $500K In Unpaid Bills

June 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Uzi Vert works hard and spends big. From custom six-figure handbags to lavish gifts for their partner JT, the “Endless Fashion” rapper doesn’t mind flaunting their lavish lifestyle. However, a new lawsuit alleged that Lil Uzi Vert doesn’t always clear their debts.

According to Billboard, on June 13, touring production company, M99 Studios, filed a lawsuit in Georgia, which accused Lil Uzi Vert (real name Symere Bysil Woods) of skipping out on $533,499 in unpaid bills.

Lawyers for the company claim to have worked with Uzi throughout the years to ensure their “creative ideas, production, and staffing for all tours, shows and performances” were met, including their sets at Rolling Loud Miami and Roots Picnic.

In the filing, M99 alleged that on multiple occasions Uzi fell behind on billing, which left the company to make up for the “financial shortcomings.”

“While [Uzi’s] account would work from time-to-time,” the company wrote. “[Uzi’s] credit card would frequently be declined while on tour, making it impossible for M99 to ensure the safety and well-being of the crew without covering the expenses itself. Despite its numerous requests for payment of the outstanding invoices, at no point have [Uzi] compensated M99 for the services it provided.”

M99 Studios has requested that the courts enter a judgment against Lil Uzi Vert to cover the balance owed. Lil Uzi Vert has not released a public statement regarding the lawsuit.

June 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

New Orleans native Lil Wayne has his heart set on headlining the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show to show off his hometown pride. But there’s another city he holds near and dear: Las Vegas. Based on Fox 5‘s latest report, the feeling is mutual.

According to the outlet, the “A Milli” rapper is set to make history on Las Vegas’ strip has part of the first-ever “shared residency.”

Between hot spots, Zouk Nightclub and Drai’s Beach and Nightclub, Lil Wayne fans will reportedly have the opportunity to catch the musician live in concert throughout the summer.

Although the full schedule has not yet been shared, supposedly the first show is rumored to take place at Drai’s Beach and Nightclub on Saturday, June 29. Lil Wayne’s first show at Zouk Nightclub is listed on the establishment’s website as Friday, July 12.

In a statement provided to Fox 5, the president of Drai’s Management Group, Dustin Drai, shared his excitement for the upcoming shows. “We cannot wait to continue our longstanding relationship with Lil Wayne,” he said. “[To] have him return as a resident artist at Drai’s, we could not align with a more dynamic artist to welcome this debut residency partnership.”

As anticipation builds for Lil Wayne’s long teased project, Tha Carter VI, this residency could serve as a hint for when it will be officially released to the public.

Don Toliver & NxWorries Go Wild On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

June 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Father’s Day weekend held some banger releases in the hip-hop world, and our new Fire Emoji playlist update is here to round up the best of the best. The two big blockbuster releases in most people’s eyes this week are some highly anticipated albums, including Don Toliver’s HARDSTONE PSYCHO. Moreover, it’s a thrilling addition to the discography that takes things in a new direction compared to last year’s Love Sick, and “PURPLE RAIN” with Future and Metro Boomin and “ICE AGE” with Travis Scott are standouts. Also, there’s Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge’s return as NxWorries with Why Lawd? and their stellar track “WalkOnBy” with Earl Sweatshirt and Rae Khalil.

Furthermore, speaking of Fire Emoji albums, LUCKI dropped off his GEMINI! project this week, which is just as hard as you’d expect. In particular, his collab with Lil Yachty, “BIGGAVEL,” is a bouncy and woozy jam that shows off a lot of chemistry. There’s a similar tempo and dreaminess to Lil Gotit, Young Thug, and Lil Keed’s “Twisting Our Fingers,” complete with muddy bass and infectious flows. However, if you’re looking for something on a similar tip that’s a bit more moody and minimal, Cash Cobain, Chow Lee, and Bay Swag have you covered with their latest single, “act bad twin!”

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Elsewhere on FIRE EMOJI, we also wanted to shout out the latest release from Moneybagg Yo, his album SPEAK NOW. While there’s some solid variety and versatility here, there’s nothing like the slow Memphis trap drawl paired with emphatic delivery on cuts like “TABOO MIAMI.” Shifting gears a little bit, we also wanted to highlight Headie One’s melancholy and more lyrically dense single, “I Still Know Better.” As the title suggests, it’s a pretty introspective cut reflecting on the contradictions, powers, and triumphs of his career, and the work that’s still yet to be done.

Meanwhile, LL Cool J threw things back a little with his “Saturday Night Special” single featuring Rick Ross and Fat Joe. Finally, Byron Messia tapped Lil Baby and Rvssian for the dancehall-inspired “Choppa,” which still has some grit to it in the verses. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji playlist inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest great music drops around the clock.
