Wack 100 Resurfaces Old Video Of Drake With 17-Year-Old On Stage, Girl From The Clip Speaks Out 14 Years Later

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake has been body bagged in many people’s eyes during him and Kendrick Lamar’s legendary battle of words. The saga has spawned eight diss tracks since Metro Boomin and Future recruited Lamar for “Like That” back in March. The dominant rappers have had animosity for years, but it is clear that there is indeed deep hatred between them. It seems the “Not Like Us” creator’s mission is to totally eviscerate Drake and get more vicious with each jab. The latest efforts from him been the most accusatory and cold-blooded, with Lamar saying Drake is essentially a sexual predator and offender.

Now, Wack 100, an insider in the hip-hop community, apparently has some evidence that would back up Kendrick’s claims. The longtime manager dug up a video from a 2010 Drake concert in Colorado with a then 17-year-old girl who joined him on stage. Drizzy, who was 23 at the time, allegedly brought up this teenager and seemed to be hitting on her. “Y’all gon’ have get me carried away again. I get in trouble doin’ s*** like this,” Drake said to the crowd. He then turned to the girl asking, “How old are you?” She replied, “17.”

Then, Drake responded, “I can’t go to jail yet man. 17, why do you look like that? You thick, look at this.” Wack did include that the age of consent in Colorado is 17. However, crossing state lines to have sexual relations is illegal unless each party is 18, federally speaking. Again, from what we know and according to Drake, he has denied all of these allegations from Lamar, and he has not been found to have committed any crimes. Additionally, the girl from the video whose IG handle is tiajayed, cleared up the rumors. The now 31-year-old said, “Drake’s entourage actually picked me out from the crowd of people… NOT DRAKE himself. It was nothing then and still nothing now. Now That I have cleared up these false narratives… I’m going back to study for my law school EXAMS wish me luck.”

What are your thoughts on Wack 100 resurfacing this video of Drake and a 17-year-old? Do you think this is any proof that Drizzy was on some predatory behavior? Who do you have winning this beef right now? Does this mean that Wack is team K-Dot, or he is just the middle man? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef, and Wack 100.

Elliott Wilson Discusses Drake’s “The Heart Part 6” With DJ Akademiks: “I’m Disappointed”

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Elliott Wilson says that he was disappointed by Drake’s newest attempt to diss Kendrick Lamar on “The Heart Part 6.” He discussed the track during a phone call with DJ Akademiks while the live streamer was broadcasting. Wilson argued that Drake’s strategy for the beef isn’t doing him any favors.

“I’m actually very disappointed in this song,” he admitted. “The problem I’m having with Drake in this whole thing is that he refuses to view Kendrick as a worthy opponent. He still keeps little bro-ing him like we’re in the Club Paradise days. I just don’t think that’s the right strategy, He needs to deliver bars and go at him. He hadn’t even made a whole record direct to Kendrick yet. He’s all about airing everyone out that’s going against him. Obviously, there’s a whole movement and Metro orchestrated a lot of it.”

From there, Wilson added: “He doesn’t get why Kendrick is so big and why people love him so much and the type of music he makes and the success he has. He doesn’t connect to it.” When Ak pointed out that Lamar has similar feelings toward Drake, Wilson argued. “I think a lot of people don’t like Drake but they all respect him. You can’t not respect the boy because of what he’s done.” Wilson also noted that both are “great” rappers. Check out the full conversation below.

Best Rap Albums & Songs Of April 2024

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Every single month, HotNewHipHop takes a look at the best rap albums and songs of the last 30 days. Overall, a lot of amazing music was released throughout April. From R&B to rap, we got a whole lot of phenomenal projects, and even some great singles as well. However, there was also a rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar that ultimately came to a head. Songs like “Push Ups” and “Euphoria” were dropped in the month of April, and it made for some entertaining fodder.

GloRilla – Ehhthang Ehhthang

One of the best rap albums of the last month was Ehhthang Ehhthang by GloRilla. Overall, this was a project that showcased Glo’s ability to slide over beats and crank out hits. In fact, it was a return to form of sorts for her. After a couple of duds, Glo came back with a vengeance and showed people just how fantastic of an artist she really is.

PartyNextDoor – P4

PartyNextDoor is an artist who has always given us some amazing R&B albums. He has a sound that helped shape the genre for an entire decade, and he is still writing at an extremely high level. His latest project P4 could very well be one of his best. Every single song is a vibe, and if you’re looking for that slow bedroom music, than this is most definitely going to be to your tastes.

RiTchie – Triple Digits [112]

Injury Reserve artist RiTchie delivered a phenomenal project this past month. Overall, Injury Reserve was known for a plethora of sounds, flows, and ideas. With this RiTchie project, we get more of that diversity, and it makes for a truly impressive listen. If you are someone who wants to listen to something a bit different, you should definitely put this on. Overall, a fantastic effort from a great artist.

Metro Boomin & Future – We Still Don’t Trust You

Metro Boomin and Future will always be in consideration when best rap albums are being talked about. Last month, they delivered a banger with We Don’t Trust You. As for We Still Don’t Trust You, this is a phenomenal hybrid of rap and r&b. There are plenty of silky smooth tracks on here, with Metro getting creative with his production. Meanwhile, Future slides and dances all over the record, just like he always does.

Kendrick Lamar – Euphoria

Kendrick Lamar was a lot more scathing on “Meet The Grahams” and “Not Like Us.” However, “Euphoria” is a masterclass in being a real hater. Telling someone you hate the way they dress, walk, and talk is truly bold. Especially so when you start mocking their accent while also seemingly taking shots at their cat. “Euphoria” was a spectacle that kicked off one of the most historic weeks in hip-hop’s history and for that, we thank it.

Drake – Push Ups

A lot has happened since the release of “Push Ups.” However, you cannot deny the energy that Drake delivered on this cut. He dissed every single person who was out to get him, and he ultimately inspired Kendrick Lamar to drop four songs in the span of one week. Moreover, he gave us memorable lines that will be yelled at parties for years to come. Our sincere apologies to Metro Boomin for that one.

Metro Boomin & Future – Drink N Dance

Future and Metro Boomin are masters of cranking out hits. “Drink N Dance” off of We Still Don’t Trust You is incredibly catchy. It makes you want to do the things laid out in the track’s title, which means it is an immediate success. Future does these records so well at this point, and Metro’s production is otherworldly. While some may find the duo too formulaic, it doesn’t really matter if the music is undeniable.

Tommy Richman – Million Dollar Baby

Tommy Richman is having a huge moment right now. The underground artist out of VA has been dominating music discourse thanks to his mega-hit “Million Dollar Baby.” The snippet for this song had fans fiening for an official release. Now, the track has arrived and it is the second-biggest song in the world. In fact, by next week, it could be the biggest. The song has fans debating what genre this is, although we really don’t care. This slaps, and that is all that matters.

JT – Okay

JT has been having a huge moment as of late thanks to her solo career. Fans have been excited by her latest stream of singles, and this is yet another example of her talent. The song is viral, and overall, it has an extremely strong and memorable hook. Not to mention, it comes complete with a memorable music video that will help carry this track’s momentum forward.

GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion – Wanna Be

GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion gave us a viral challenge with this track, which automatically qualifies it for best of the month. Overall, both artists did their thing on this track. They are the masters of this kind of production, and they know how to get their fans excited. We just hope Meg and Glo team up again, especially with Meg’s new album coming soon.

Rihanna Models New Lingerie And Claims She’s “Looking For Nudes”

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna’s fans have spent years awaiting new music, but the multi-medium star is busy in entirely new mediums. One of the most significant is her Savage x Fenty lingerie brand. She often steps in to play the role of a model for new releases. She did so earlier this year for the brand’s new Valentine’s Day launch reminding fans how great she can look. That’s the case once again with a nude teddy that coaxed an evocative caption out of the “Lift Me Up” singer.

“looking for nudes” she captioned her most recent post, which dropped over the weekend. It’s attached to a video of RiRi herself showing off a piece from the brand’s upcoming Signature Script collection. She’s also giving voice over to many of the clips and even briefly addressing the camera directly. In the comments, fellow celebs showed up to show love for the R&B darling. Most notably Khloe Kardashian popped up saying “This hair!!!! so beautiful.” Check out the full post she made and the flood of fan love that followed below.

Rihanna Once Again Flexes Her Modeling Abilities

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri)

Rihanna continues to give fans reasons to believe that her new album is still approaching. Late last month she once again teased her new album building up hopes among her die hard fans. She specifically described the album as “Amazing” before filing back through rumors in the years since she dropped Anti back in 2016.

One person who is also dealing with plenty of album speculation is A$AP Rocky. He’s been teasing a new project called DON’T BE DUMB dating all the way back to last year. Rihanna isn’t doing anything to help slow the hype train down either. She’s repeatedly talked about how he’s working on the project often and was present when he recently teased it at a pop-up. What do you think of Rihanna modeling a nude-colored teddy for the upcoming Savage x Fenty drop? Do you think she will release any new music at all in 2024? Let us know in the comment section below.

Metro Boomin Trolled Drake’s Latest Kendrick Lamar Diss With A Hilarious Chris Paul Highlight

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems far fewer people were impressed with Drake’s latest Kendrick Lamar diss than The Boy might have hoped. After he dropped “The Heart Part 6” last night, he may have seen it as a victory lap, but fans online appeared to view it as more of a white flag of surrender after Kendrick Lamar spammed Drake with nonstop diss tracks over the course of the weekend.

Metro Boomin, who pretty much started all this in the first place after inviting Kendrick onto his and Future’s joint album We Don’t Trust You, summed up his feelings with a Chris Paul highlight. Heading over to YouTube, he took a screenshot of the video title that best suited the moment: “Chris Paul hits a huge three to cut the lead down to 42.”

pic.twitter.com/HWQXwaEC4g

— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) May 6, 2024

For those who aren’t into sports, the analogy likens Drake emptying the clip on “The Heart Part 6” to a heroic, but ultimately futile effort in a competition in which his loss is inevitable. In basketball, being down 42 points isn’t quite an insurmountable lead, especially in the first half of a game, but it’s also basically a war of attrition in which there have historically been very few winners. Digging out of such hole requires not only impressive levels of skill and endurance but also borderline miraculous luck — i.e. “an act of God.”

Unfortunately for Drake, it doesn’t look like any deities are coming to his rescue anytime soon. Meanwhile, fans are comparing him to another NBA star thanks to Metro, pairing Kyle Lowry highlights with Metro’s “BBL Drizzy” beat

Snoop Dogg Is Getting His Own College Football Bowl Game, Making NCAA History

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg’s impact on football is rapidly becoming undeniable. In addition to his musical contributions to the sport, like his and Chris Stapleton’s 2023 Monday Night Football theme song and his performance alongside Dr. Dre at the 2022 Super Bowl, Snoop’s efforts in youth football in his hometown, Long Beach (as immortalized in his Amazon Prime comedy film, The Underdoggs), have sent a number of players from the ‘hood to the pros. This December, he’ll make college football history with the first-ever Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented By Gin & Juice By Dre And Snoop.

The Arizona Bowl, established in 2015 and featuring teams from the Mountain West and Mid-American Conferences, will become the first NCAA bowl game to be presented by an alcoholic beverage company. As the Doggfather points out in his press statement for the partnership, The Snoop Youth Football League has become a launching pad for college football, so the connection makes more sense than it may appear on the surface. “I’ve sent many players through my SYFL to colleges (and the NFL) so it’s only fitting that I bring the ‘juice’ back to college football,” Snoop said. “Dr. Dre and I are excited to bring our brand to the next level with this partnership, and we’re going to make the Arizona Bowl into a game day experience like never before.”

The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented By Gin & Juice By Dre And Snoop will air on December 28, 2024, at 2:30pm MST.

King Harris Demands Jacksonville Rapper Foolio “To Get In The Boxing Ring”: “I’m On Some Mike Tyson S***”

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of T.I.’s sons, King Harris, has been in the headlines over the last few months for antics only. The 18-year-old got into an infamous spat with his family at an Atlanta Falcons game. He was trying to dismiss the fact that he had been born with a silver spoon, saying on a livestream, “What’s wrong with y’all? Why y’all doing that to me? Y’all know me, you know I stand on business. Why would you let someone play with me like that?” Besides it being in public, the timing of it was also poor, as T.I. was invited to perform due to it being hip-hop’s 50th anniversary. Now, King Harris is acting like a tough guy once again, posing a challenge to Foolio.

Foolio is a young Jacksonville, Florida rapper who has been chirping at King Harris online. According to Hip-Hop Lately, he was also confused why T.I.’s offspring was trying to act bigger than he is after the aforementioned fight. Foolio said, “Ion get why jit wanna be gangsta u grew up up wit a silver spoon.” Ever since then, King has grown tired of his Twitter fingers and demanded him to put on the boxing gloves.

King Harris Is Ready To Get In The Ring With Foolio

“Julio Foolio get your b**** a** in the boxing ring, n****. Wanna speak on me? I hear a lot of these n****s got so much to say and they go viral, but when I tell them they can get in that boxing ring everybody wanna be f***ing quiet,” Harris said, puffing his chest out. “I’m not going to lie, I’m on some Mike Tyson s***. I’ve been mad lately. I’m ready ot punch somebody.” However, Foolio seems to think he is not worth the trouble. But he did warn him to tread lightly via Instagram story, “I barely post or troll nomo king find u something productive to do before u be watching Netflix in heaven wit our Lord and survivor”

What are your thoughts on King Harris calling out Foolio and asking him to get in the boxing ring? How do you think is going to play out after this threat and why?

Kendrick Lamar And Tommy Richman Neck And Neck For Top Spot On Next Week’s Hot 100

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The biggest beef in hip-hop has already proven to be quite lucrative for the artists at its core. Only two of the songs where Drake and Kendrick Lamar directly diss each other have hit the hot 100 so far. The first was “Like That” which landed on Future & Metro Boomin’s new album WE DON’T TRUST YOU back in March. The shots Kendrick threw out combined with the impressive sales of the song itself led to the track debuting at the very top spot on the Hot 100, where it stayed for multiple weeks. It was the second beef-spawning track to debut at the top spot this year following Megan Thee Stallion’s “HISS.”

Now Kendrick Lamar is aiming for yet another number one debut spawning from the beef, but he isn’t getting it without a fight. His biggest challenger is Tommy Richman, who just debuted his new song “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” at number two on this week’s Hot 100. This weeks chart leader “Fortnight” by Taylor Swift and Post Malone is expected to slip down the charts. That leaves Kendrick’s first track addressing Drake head on “euphoria” to battle with Richman’s “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” which is expected to get a boost in streaming this week. Chart projections between the pair are currently too close to call.

Kendrick Lamar And Tommy Richman Battling For Number One

— chart data (@chartdata) May 6, 2024

“Like That” has the potential to become one of Kendrick’s biggest Hot 100 hits of all time. Billboard already has the song listed as his 28th biggest Hot 100 hit after just 5 weeks. The song returned to the top 10 of the chart this week. That came after Taylor owned the entirety of the chart’s peak on last week’s edition.

What do you think of Kendrick Lamar having to battle Tommy Richman for a number one debut on next week’s Hot 100? Who do you think will ultimately take home the top spot when the Hot 100 drops next week? Let us know in the comment section below.
