Sukihana Disses JT & Lil Uzi Vert On New Track “Cocaine” And Gets Accused Of Transphobia In The Process

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sukihana and JT have been going back and forth on social media as of late. Overall, it seems like Suki has some problems with JT, and it has led to some pretty wild allegations. For instance, Suki has been saying that JT is a cocaine addict. The former City Girls members subsequently said that they were no longer cool with one another. 2024 has been the year of rap beef, and it appears as though Sukihana has been inspired by the diss tracks from Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

On Wednesday morning, Sukihana dropped off a brand new track called “Cocaine.” The song is very clearly pointed at JT, and contains a plethora of disses. In fact, the song also takes a swipe at the relationship between JT and Lil Uzi Vert. However, some of the bars are already being called out for including blatant transphobia. “You ain’t lying when you say you look like a trans, your n***a only fuck wit you because you look like a man,” Sukihana raps.

In the comments over at The Neighborhood Talk, one fan noted that transphobia and homophobia isn’t going to cut it. “The pure trans and homo phobia isn’t gone slide just cause this is a ‘rAp BeEf,’” they wrote. Another fan was simply confused as to why Suki is beefing with JT in the first place. “Listen. Suki you doing too much why you starting all this shit with her?” they said. “Side note you may be better as a diss rapper than anything i can’t lie. But still like JT never did shit to you something’s wrong here.” Needless to say, this is a feud that no one expected, yet here we are.

Let us know what you think of this feud between Sukihana and JT, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that she went too far with these diss tracks? Is this going to spark a response from JT? What do you make of all the rap beef so far this year? 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.

Seth Rogen Pinpoints The Moment Drake Officially Lost The Kendrick Lamar Beef And Marvels At How Crazy The Whole Thing Is

Last night (May 7), Seth Rogen hosted Seth Smokes The Bowl, a Hilarity For Charity benefit event at the Hollywood Bowl. The event featured various performers, and at one point between acts, Rogen shared his take on the ongoing Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef.

Rogen started, “If you’re a rap fan, there’s some crazy sh*t going on right now.” He then gave a broad overview of the situation, summarizing by saying the two are feuding by writing “mean rhymes about each other.” When he got the point of Lamar’s “Not Like Us” and Drake’s “The Heart Part 6,” specifically how Lamar accused Drake of an inappropriate interest in underage women and Drake refuted it, Rogen said, “I would say as soon as you are asserting in a rap song that you should not be a registered sex offender, you’ve lost the rap battle.”

He added, “What’s crazy is these are not, like, personal correspondences: These are songs! These are hit songs! These are No. 1 and 2 on iTunes, like, right now! These are songs the Apple algorithm is telling my mother to listen to while working out.”

He then compared the song to Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know,” which is famously believed to be about Dave Coulier. After pointing out the relative mystery behind the song’s official, confirmed meaning, Rogen continued, “But now Kendrick is like, ‘F*ck you Drake, you’re a pedophile.’ And these are hit… people are dancing to these songs! Could you imagine going to a club and seeing a room full of people dancing to a song about you being a pedophile? Especially if you were one? I don’t know if he is, but if he was, I assume that’d be a very alarming moment in your life. ‘Oh no, they’re on to me.’”

Future & Gunna Subliminally Go Back & Forth On Twitter As They Are Set To Drop Projects On The Same Day

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Future and Gunna are two artists who don’t see eye to eye like they used to. Overall, this is due to the fact that Young Thug remains in jail and on trial, while Gunna is a free man. When Gunna and Young Thug were arrested together as part of the YSL Rico case, many were curious as to how things would play out. When Gunna was released from custody, many felt like it was because he must have snitched on Thugger. Although Gunna has denied this to be the case, many artists in hip-hop have effectively blackballed him.

On Friday, Gunna is set to drop off his new album One Of Wun. Fans are excited about this new album, and understandably so. However, last night, Future seemingly cut off his momentum by revealing that he would drop a mixtape on Friday. Consequently, this means these two are about to go head-to-head on the charts. Additionally, the two appeared to take subliminal shots at one another on Twitter. It all started when Future said “Fuck yo album shit ain’t slappin like my MIXTAPE.”

Subsequently, Gunna went to Twitter and wrote “fuc what these boys talking bout.” Needless to say, these two are going to be looking to one-up each other with these projects. It is definitely going to be a close one, and allegiances are already made. Fans will have their minds made up before a single song is even released. Regardless, 2024 has been the year of rap beef, and that does not seem to be changing, anytime soon.

Let us know which of these two projects will be getting your first listen on Friday, in the comments section down below. Who do you think is going to come out with the better project? Will it be a bad look for Future and Gunna’s detractors if One Of Wun proves to be the superior project? 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.

Saweetie Speaks Out After Twitter Mistakes Her For Ice Spice

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Saweetie is an artist who has been in the news quite a bit as of late. Overall, her relationship with YG has certainly been a hot topic of conversation. This is especially true given the current feud between Quavo and Chris Brown. Recently, the two started dropping diss tracks on one another. Although the back and forth is now over, fans were certainly impressed by all of it. However, it came at the expense of Saweetie’s peace as Brown made the claim that he slept with her while she was still with Quavo.

In the midst of all of this, Saweetie has been looking to drop off a brand-new track called “NANI.” This is a song that had been teased a while back, and has since been given a release date of May 17th. With this new release date in mind, Twitter’s new AI trending tab decided to let fans know about the release. However, instead of saying that the song is by Saweetie, the algorithm messed up and said Ice Spice was dropping the song. This subsequently led to a humorous response from Saweetie, who didn’t seem too offended by the mix-up.

“Yall getting the pretty girls mixed up,” Saweetie wrote with a crying emoji. Twitter has tried a ton of new things under Elon Musk’s leadership, and the new trending tab feature has proven to be a bit of a flop. This latest mistake between Saweetie and Ice Spice is proof that it needs a lot of work that. That said, Saweetie isn’t tripping about it. In fact, Ice Spice probably feels good about the rapper calling her a “pretty girl.”

Let us know what you thought of this innocent mistake, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Elon Musk has ruined what was once a fun social media platform? Do you still use Twitter, and if so, do you even bother to call it X? 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.

Future Reveals Release Date For His Next Mixtape And It’s Sooner Than You Think

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Future is easily one of the most influential artists in the history of hip-hop. Without him, we wouldn’t have many of the artists that are thriving today. Overall, he is someone with an extensive catalog. Although he will sometimes go a year without dropping, you can always count on him to unload the clip when he returns. So far in 2024, he has given us We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You. This is enough music to keep the masses entertained for an entire year. That said, it seems as though he is not satisfied with all of this.

In the tweets below, Future revealed that “mixtape Pluto” is back. Moreover, he revealed that he has something dropping on May 10th. Given some of the context clues on his Twitter account, it seems pretty obvious that an entire mixtape is going to be released on Friday. However, he could always pull a fast one and simply drop a single instead. Regardless, We Still Don’t Trust You isn’t even a month old yet, and we are already getting new music from the legend.

Future To Drop In Two Days

MIXTAPE PLUTO

— FUTURE/FREEBANDZ (@1future) May 8, 2024

If one thing is for certain, this new mixtape will not include any tracks with the likes of Drake. Future and Metro Boomin ultimately kicked off the Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud, which has gone to a pretty dark place. While Drake refuses to diss Future, there is no doubt that their relationship has been strained beyond immediate repair. Hopefully, that will someday change as they are responsible for some mega hits.

Let us know what your expectations are for this mixtape, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this new mixtape is going to be a banger? What kind of features would you like to hear on this new tape? 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.

Coi Leray Claims To Be The Female Version Of Lil Uzi Vert

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Coi Leray is a confident artist. She has every right to be. The rapper burst onto the scene with the top 40 hit “No More Parties,” and worked her way up to a top 10 smash with “Players.” She’s had a much better career than her father, Benzino, but that doesn’t mean she’s immune to bold, Benzino-esque statements. Leray got on X (formerly Twitter) on May 7 to declare that not only was she talented, she was the female version of Lil Uzi Vert.

Leray is a fan of Uzi Vert, and evidently feels they are on the same level creatively. “I feel like I’m the female Uzi out of the rap girlies,” she tweeted. That would have been enough to turn heads, but Leray had even more to say. “Top influential, versatile and can’t figure me out,” she added. The comparison baffled users, as Leray and Uzi Vert are pretty far apart in terms of the music they make. That’s even putting it mildly. Leray is all about fun and party vibes. “Players” and “No More Parties” are summer anthems. Uzi Vert, meanwhile, has radically changed his look and his sound.

Coi Leray Claimed She Was “Influential” Like Uzi Vert

A post shared by WorldStar Hip Hop / WSHH (@worldstar)

The rapper went from making Scott Pilgrim-inspired emo rap to rage music and international collabs on Pink Tape. It’s that Leray and Uzi don’t match up in 2024, it’s that they never matched up. Users weren’t shy in letting the former know this. “Why is Coi Leray disrespecting Lil Uzi Vert like that,” one user asked. Another likened Leray to Flo Rida of all people. “You have the versatility of Flo Rida when it comes to making H&M and Target music,” they wrote. “We can’t figure you out because we don’t care enough, beloved.” Brutal.

This isn’t the first time Leray and Uzi have been musically linked. Well, technically. Lil Uzi Vert teased a song snippet in July 2023 in which they mention Leray by name. “Got a skinny b***h, look just like Coi Leray,” they spit over a throwback, Luv Is Rage-type beat. Leray isn’t typically a fan of people using her name on wax, as evidenced by her beef with Latto, but she didn’t seem bothered by this one. Maybe it’s because, like she said, she finds musical kinship with the rapper.

Jay Rock Clowns Drake Fans Amidst Rap Battle: “Y’all 69 God Lost!”

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The hate is real. Kendrick Lamar put on a diss record masterclass over the last seven days, with three diss tracks and a rollout that completely stomped on his opponent’s. Drake rapped incredibly well on his responses, but the momentum is with Lamar, and his former TDE label mates are celebrating. Jay Rock got on X (formerly Twitter) on May 7 to let fans know who won the battle. He also took time out to make fun of Drake fans who were trying to dig stuff up on Lamar and his camp.

Jay Rock didn’t mince words. He not only clowned Drake fans for crying about their favorite rapper losing, but he referred to the rapper by the nickname Lamar gave him on “Not Like Us.” The 6 God has been dubbed the “69 God,” at least on the West Coast. “Don’t be mad at me y’all 69 God lost,” Rock tweeted out. The Watts emcee then turned his attention to the fans who have been going through old tweets from the TDE camp. Metro Boomin underwent a similar fan investigation on X, and wound up looking pretty bad considering the questionable nature of some of his old tweets.

Jay Rock Claimed That Drake Fans Are “Reaching”

Jay Rock knows the Drake fans are looking for similar dirt on him and the rest of Lamar’s old label. He isn’t worried, though. “Lol old a*s tweets y’all digging up and still can’t read or comprehend,” he added. “14 year ago tweets y’all reaching for the stars lol.” This is not the first time Rock has voiced support for K. Dot during the battle. He praised his Black Hippy brother on X after the release of the first Drake diss, “Euphoria.” “Now this ain’t no AI,” he assured fans. “See I know Kdot!” He also updated fans on the score of the battle after Lamar dropped “Not Like Us.” “4-0 we already know,” he added.

A quick scroll through Jay Rock’s X timeline proves that he’s been team Dot the entire time. That being said, the rapper did delete the tweet about the “69 God” hours after posting it. It’s ironic, given that the Drake fans he alluded to are looking for messages that might get deleted. Jay Rock is also recording his new album, which is tentatively titled Eastside Johnny. A proper release date hasn’t been given, but Rock has confirmed that it will drop some time in 2024.

UMG Denies Intervening In Drake And Kendrick Lamar Battle

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Never has a rap battle been saddled with so many conspiracy theories and false leads. Drake and Kendrick Lamar has not only had to contend with fake diss songs, but they’ve spread information about the other person without providing concrete evidence. The misinformation spree continued on May 7. Drake’s record label, UMG, was accused of stepping in and putting an end to the battle because the rapper was “losing.” A document surfaced online with a list of steps UMG has taken to end things.

The document in question claimed that UMG asked The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar to end their battle with Drake. It detailed Zoom meetings with the artists’ respective labels, and claims that UMG was losing money over Drake’s pedophile allegations. “Drake is losing the beef in UMG’s eyes,” the document read. “So from UMG’s perspective, the sooner than this beef ends the better.” It didn’t take long for real UMG reps to speak out and state that none of these actions have been taken.

UMG Has No Plans To Interfere With Drake And Kendrick Lamar

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

UMG, which is short for Universal Music Group, issued a denial to TMZ. The label has never considered getting involved in the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle. “Kendrick and Drake’s beef is between them and completely separate from the business side of things,” TMZ reported. “And UMG just doesn’t think it’s their place to step in either way.” It’s easy to see why UMG is staying clear. The label is reaping the benefiting from the battle with historic streaming numbers.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar will draw over 250 million streams in the United States this week. This means that the handful of releases between will make up a staggering 20% of all streams on the Billboard Hot 100. Firstly, Drake, UMG’s artist, managed to land a top 20 single with “Push Ups.” Secondly, the music video for his follow-up diss, “Family Matters,” trended number one on YouTube. It’s since racked up an impressive 17 million views. If anything, UMG would benefit from the battle continuing to unfold. Drake may have had another diss prepped to drop on May 7, but a shooting outside of his home led to a delay.

Did Drake’s Label Ask Kendrick Lamar To End Their Rap Beef?

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Could the long-brewing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar finally be coming to an end? Over the course of the past few weeks, Drake and Lamar have dropped several diss tracks aimed at each other. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse, after Drake’s bodyguard was reportedly shot near Drake’s Toronto home.

Neither Drake nor Lamar have commented directly on the matter, however, neither party has dropped a diss track since the incident. Many fans are wondering if the labels have since gotten involved, asking to end the beef.

Did Drake’s label ask Kendrick Lamar to end their rap beef?

A screenshot of a supposed blind item went viral on Twitter today (May 7), alleging that Universal Music Group had reached out to Lamar and his pgLang brand, as well as The Weeknd, asking them to end the feud, and to walk back comments calling Drake a pedophile.

https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1788005367428854154ce

The supposed blind item noted that Drake, Nike, and other parties involved were losing a lot of money, as Drake was losing the beef.

However, TMZ has said there is no truth to this blind item, and that the claims are entirely unfounded.

TMZ reported that sources close to the matter — who, evidently, are knowledgeable of how labels works — had not gotten involved, and likely, wouldn’t get involved with matters like this.

But given recent events, it seems as though continuing the feud would be in poor taste.

TV Anchor Calls Drake A “Raper” Instead Of “Rapper” On Accident

May 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is having a bad week so far. The rapper has more likes than dislikes on the YouTube video for his latest Kendrick Lamar diss, “The Heart Part 6.” He also had a shooting take place at his Toronto mansion on May 7. The rapper was not injured in the shooting, but a member of his security team was shot in the chest. Drake’s dangerous encounter was covered extensively by local Canadian news. The problem is, when it came time to reference him, the anchor reporting the story made a colossal slip up.

The report was made on Eyewitness News ABC7. The footage was uploaded to the network’s YouTube channel, and the flub can immediately be heard. The anchor attempts to set the scene of the shooting before throwing it to field reporter Darla Miles, but he stumbles when it comes time to describe what Drake does for a living. Instead of noting that Drake is a professional “rapper,” the anchor mistakenly says that he is a “raper.” “Lots of questions tonight,” he stated. “About a security guard who was shot outside the mansion of the raper… rapper, I should say, Drake.” Oof.

The NBC Anchor Immediately Corrected Himself

It’s a deafeningly awkward moment to witness. Especially when one considers the accusations that have been thrown at Drake over the last few weeks. Kendrick Lamar has built most of his diss campaign on the notion that Drake is a pedophile who traffics young women. He rapped about it on “Meet the Grahams,” and he doubled down on the accusations with “Not Like Us.” The latter is especially damning, with lines about Drake having sex offenders in his OVO camp and hitting an “a minor” cord.

To be clear, Drake has denied these accusations outright. He addressed them on his aforementioned response, “The Heart Part 6.” He said that Lamar was lying, and dismissed the Compton rapper’s claims as “false” information. “You would be a worthy competitor if I was really a predator,” he says during the outro of the song. “And you weren’t f*ckin’ lying to every blogger and editor.” Lamar has not yet provided evidence to support his claims. Regardless of the truth, the fumble by the ABC news anchor is not going to benefit Drake in the court of public opinion.
