May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DaBaby affectionately recreated Boosie Badazz’s now-iconic fishing photo on his Instagram Story, earlier this week. In the post, he posed with several fish while holding up a notebook with “7” written on it. The original picture was seemingly reference to Wilt Chamberlain’s iconic 100-point game photo. Boosie had claimed to have caught 126 fish.

DaBaby’s picture comes after he shared a video of himself fishing earlier in the week. In the comments section of that post, fans made tons of jokes about the situation. “The one thing DaBaby gonna do is enjoy his life outside of the music industry,” one user wrote. Another suggested he and Boosie go on a fishing trip with one another. “Dababy and Boosie need to go on a fishing trip together lol,” they wrote.

God told you he gon’ put hooks in they jaws!” Check out the clips of DaBaby and Boosie fishing below.

Drake Is Reportedly Now A Resident Of Texas Following The Purchase Of A $15M Estate

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Go big or go home. For Drake, these two are mutually exclusive. The “Taylor Made Freestyle” rapper has amassed an enormous fortune throughout his career.

While he doesn’t mind splurging on flashy pieces of jewelry (most notably a few from Pharrell’s collection), that isn’t the only place he has spent big bucks. According to Texas Monthly, Drake is now a resident of The Lone Star State after purchasing a $15 million estate.

Drake has publicly declared his love for several major cities in the state, including Austin, Dallas, and of course Houston. However, the musician’s latest home is reportedly located on the outskirts of Brenham. The 313-acre will afford Drake an invaluable level of privacy due to its former purpose. Prior to becoming the home of the rap superstar, the estate served as a retreat, known publicly as The Inn at Dos Brisas.

Despite the recent listing of his Beverly Hills mansion , the publication claims his seven figure purchase in Texas closed last fall. Initially, the details surrounding the estate’s sell were anonymous.

The publication listed the amenities of the property as a bar-equipped lounge area, fireside dining room, large swimming pool, spa with an expansive sundeck, five haciendas, and four casitas. It is unclear if Drake plans on living in Texas full-time, but should he choose to, this home will surely fit his needs.

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans of Nicki Minaj came out in droves to support the rapper in Manchester outside of her hotel after she was arrested in Amsterdam over the weekend. Earlier in the day, she announced the cancelation of her show at the city’s Co-Op Live due to the airport hold-up. Apologizing to her fans on social media, she revealed the location of where she was staying and asked them to stop by.

“I love you and I’m so sorry this happened tonight,” Minaj said in a video posted on social media. In another post on X (formerly Twitter), she added: “I’m going on the balcony so if you’re outside I’ll be able to see you & I may come downstairs. I’ll be out there for about an hour. Rlly (really) wanted to at least get to see you.”

Minaj made headlines for live streaming the arrest on Instagram, showing officers accusing her of carrying drugs. “They’ve been trying to stop me from coming to every show,” she wrote on X afterward. “They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now saying they’re waiting on customs. This is what it looks like when ppl are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal.” She was eventually released after a several-hour delay that caused her to cancel that night’s concert.

Diddy’s Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame Will Reportedly Not Be Removed, Despite Controversial Video

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The demise of Diddy is far from over. Following the release of a graphic video in which he is seen violently assaulting his ex-girlfriend and former Bad Boy Records singer Cassie, public support continues to plummet.

Many organizations have already cut ties with Diddy including his own company, Revolt. Now, people are demanding that he be stripped of his professional accolades. Yesterday (May 25), it was revealed that talks about removing his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame had begun. However, according to TMZ, the governing committee will not take out the physical landmark.

In the outlet’s report, despite public support for its removal, a Hollywood Chamber of Commerce spokesperson claims that “the committee is unable to make the changes.”

The source took a moment to explain the powers of the committee. “[The committee can] nominate star recipients, manufacture and install stars upon city approval and conduct the Walk of Fame installation ceremony,” they said. “[However,] it lacks the authority to remove them.”

This isn’t the only accolade of Diddy to come up in public discourse. During an appearance on PIX11, New York City’s mayor Eric Adams revealed that he is “considering” revoking Diddy’s Key To The City, which was awarded in September 2023.

DJ Akademiks Theorizes Drake’s Latest Songs Are Being Hate Botted, Points Out Like/Dislike Ratio

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks pointed out an “abnormal” like-to-dislike ratio on Drake’s latest songs on YouTube in a post on Twitter, on Sunday. He says people are either hating on Drake like never before or someone has been hate-botting his releases. He used Drake’s Kendrick Lamar diss tracks, “Family Matters,” and “The Heart Part 6,” as well as his Sexyy Red collaboration, “U My Everything,” as examples to show the disparity.

“Either n****s hating on Drake or n****s hate botting his latest releases,” Akademiks wrote in the post. “His last 2 releases has more dislikes than likes on YouTube. The Heart part 6 and his newest feature on Sexyy redd song. And family matters has over 400k dislikes on YouTube. Very abnormal.” Fans were more skeptical in the comments section of his post. “N****s can’t just not dislike a song?” one user asked. Another wrote: “Or the sh*t wasn’t good? Family Matters is good. Heart Part 6 is so bad it’s almost funny. That Sexyy Redd song is ass outside of Drake’s verse so no sh*t it has mad dislikes.”

For the Sexyy Red collaboration, Drake raps over Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy,” diss instrumental. He flips the concept of the song by rapping: “BBL Drizzy, they want a new body, they ask me for it.” As for “The Heart Part 6,” he used the track to claim he set Kendrick Lamar up with false information amid their feud and made several disses against him. The title is a reference to Lamar’s “The Heart” series of songs.

An Atlanta Investor Accuses GloRilla Of Stealing $150K In A Recently Resurfaced Lawsuit

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla is racking in big bucks as the opening act for Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour. But with money, comes increased problems. On Friday, May 24, an accusation surrounding the “Yeah Glo!” rapper’s business practices resurfaced.

During an appearance on The Morning Hustle, Aristotle Varner Jr. (publicly known as Aristotle) of Aristotle Investments, claimed to have taken a huge financial loss after GloRilla allegedly “ran off with six figures of his money.” Initially, viewers doubted his statements, until a previously filed lawsuit against the entertainer surfaced.

Spade TV shared a portion of the filing to their official Instagram page. In the court document, Varner claimed to have paid GloRilla $150,000 in 2022 to upload a collaborative post on Instagram, to attend an in-person meet-and-greet, and film a 30-minute interview on Instagram Live with his wife, Asia.

Although, GloRilla did post to her Instagram page, Varner alleges the other items have not been met. Prior to his appearance on The Morning Hustle, Varner took to his Instagram page to discuss the situation with his followers.

“Whatever Sexyy Red do, we must support,” he said. “We can not let GloRilla win ‘Queen Ratchet.’ She took my money… I paid [her] $150 racks for something to happen. All that stupid ass, ghetto ass, two hit wonder ass b*tch had to do was show up for 5 minutes on a Zoom and do a 30-minute live with my wife… This b*tch ditched up and took our money.”

Watch Varner’s broadcast below.

GloRilla doesn’t seem to have issued a public response to Varner’s accusation.

Kayla has made headlines on a number of occasions in the years since Von’s passing. In 2022, some of her old tweets resurfaced which sparked rumors about her having a crush on her half-brother. She addressed the situation on Instagram Live at the time. “Get y’all sick nasty asses on. Do I look like I’m from Down South?” Kayla asked. “Me and my brother we from Chicago. We’re not from Down South where people f*ck they brothers and sisters. All y’all that sayin’ that, I hope y’all grandma die ’cause that’s some nasty sh*t.” She also reportedly got in a fight with Cuban Doll at another point.

Cardi B Reveals Why She Came Back After Social Media Break

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that being a megastar like Cardi B comes with its fair share of perks, but unfortunately, the “Bongos” also frequently finds herself at the center of relentless scrutiny. According to her, this tends to get in the way of her ability to express herself freely through her music. As a result, she recently opted to take a short break from social media, which was a major relief.

Ultimately, however, she decided that she wouldn’t let critics keep her away from her fans. During her recent interview with Rolling Stone, she opened up about her social media break, revealing that it was ultimately her children that motivated her to give it another shot.

Cardi B Wanted To Set The Right Example For Her Children

“Being at home,” she explained. “When I was off social media and nobody knew what I was doing, I was at peace a lot.” Cardi continued, describing how she doesn’t want to set the wrong example for her little ones. “What am I going to do? Never post or never work again because that’s peace? No,” she said. “I don’t ever want my daughter or my son to ever give up on something because they can’t take the pressure of what people say about them. I got to set that example.”

“It’s like, ‘Y’all never going to break me.’ Because I got something to prove to myself. I also got to prove something to the haters. I’ve got to prove it to my own kids.” What do you think about Cardi B opening up about the peace she found while on a break from social media? What about the femcee second-guessing her decision?

Zacari & Muni Long Take Risks On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Summer is right around the corner, but you don’t need to get right into party mode: our new R&B Season playlist update is here to take you through the best tracks the R&B world had to offer this week to chill you out a little bit before June hits. Leading the pack in that regard is the smoky new single from Zacari, “Lonewolf Still,” which is about as dramatic and moody as the title suggests. Thanks to a slow and minimal trap beat, whirling synths, and a relaxed but still engaging vocal performance, this song really puts you in a zone.

Elsewhere on our R&B Season playlist update is a hot collaboration between two captivating singers in classic and contemporary soul. Moreover, Muni Long and Mariah Carey teamed up for the “Made For Me” remix, which throws it all the way back to the sultry and crisp rhythm and blues bangers from the 2000s. Their vocal performances aren’t soaring here, but their strong melodic control and harmonic chemistry definitely carries the sensual vibes here. Of course, that’s not to say they don’t eventually belt alongside wavy synth patches, but they save those fireworks for fitting moments.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Speaking of collaborations, we also wanted to shout out Offset’s reach into the R&B bag for his feature on Blxst’s latest record, “Risk Taker.” This time around, he’s playing with a dance-inspired sonic pallet that is closer to Afrobeat or reggaetón than it is to R&B, soul, or rap as the artists in charge would have you assume. It’s bright and breezy, and the former Migo comes through with a locked-in flow and luxury-themed lyrics to make this a more potent impression. While it’s not instrumentally idiosyncratic compared to similar sounds, it does showcase both of these artists’ versatility.

Finally, we have two more releases to praise, one being Liza’s new EP The Alternate Ending and the woozy guitars and crisp percussion on “Gasoline.” Our list rounds out with Dirty Danger’s bubbly and dreamy remix of Jorja Smith’s “Backwards,” complete with manipulated sample pitching and quirky electronic embellishments. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season pick was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check out the playlist above and, as always, stick around on HNHH for more great music drops around the clock.

Remy Ma Performs For Seemingly Small Crowd At DC Pride, Fans React

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Remy Ma often deals with a lot of trolls online, but when the actual narrative behind the trolling is unclear, it just makes for a messy situation overall. Moreover, a clip recently surfaced of her performing for a seemingly small crowd at DC Pride, which Barbz had a field day with. They clowned the femcee for the show’s size, her performance energy, or just chose to bring up the Nicki Minaj beef once more for good measure. However, one commenter in particular called this a misrepresentative interpretation, as they claimed this was apparently a pre-show event before her actual larger-scale performance for around 5,000 people.

Furthermore, at least this is a bit of a better look for Remy Ma compared to some other recent headlines that have raised eyebrows her way. For those unaware, she received accusations of cheating on Papoose with Eazy The Block Captain, a younger battle rapper. These allegations actually made it so deep into the battle rap space, and their particular lane within it, that Cassidy recently dissed Eazy on a new track. It wasn’t just an “I’m better than you” argument, but one that also brought up this alleged infidelity as an attack.

Not only that, but rumors that the two have split based on Remy Ma’s body language at Papoose’s birthday event haven’t really helped this narrative diminish. Either way, there’s a lot of drama going on right now in her life, which definitely has been the case for a couple of years now. It’s hard to not think about the Nicki Minaj beef as a leading cause of that, but it would be overly reductive to solely attribute this to that conflict. After all, there are plenty of ways in which careers don’t necessarily become less impactful, but can see a smaller or more measured reception.

In fact, given that Nicki Minaj had previously vaguely hinted at burying the hatchet with Remy Ma, maybe that’s not an important factor anymore. Still, we’ll see whether there are more widely spread clips of this DC Pride performance in the near future that could prove or disprove the current narrative. She’ll likely have some more releases, performances, and events to look forward to in 2024. Let’s see if they fill up more.
