Despite the setbacks, Jackboy’s resolve to overcome his past and forge ahead shines through in his post-release optimism.

Lil Dicky Was Humiliated By Chris Brown, John Wall, And Deontay Wilder At A Celebrity Basketball Game, And The Story Is Hilarious

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Dicky joined Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce for this week’s episode of New Heights, and the episode was packed with Lil Dicky’s signature self-deprecating charm. Around the 40-minute mark, Jason asked Lil Dicky whether he’d had a “welcome to the industry” moment.

“Another story I’ve never told that just came into my head that’s perfect for this moment,” Lil Dicky said. The Dave mastermind then took the audience back to the 2015 BET Experience Sprite Celebrity Basketball Game. Back then, Lil Dicky still had imposter syndrome and did not feel like he belonged on the same roster as Floyd Mayweather, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, and John Wall.

“I don’t know how I got in the game to the point where I actually put a lot of stock and import in this game,” he explained. “I got there an hour early to warm up because I literally thought a way that I could get ahead in this industry faster will be, like, scoring 30 points in this game.”

Instead, Lil Dicky was on the bench, and while Chris Brown called Lil Dicky “a dope rapper” pre-game, he also rained on Lil Dicky’s parade. John Wall was the team’s coach and eventually told Dicky he could go in as a substitute for Brown.

“I walk up to Chris, and I’m like, ‘Yo, I’m in for you,’” Lil Dicky said. “And he goes, ‘I’m not coming out.’ Then, there’s 11 guys on the court. Everyone is matched up. I’m clearly the odd man. I look to John Wall, like, ‘Coach!’ And John Wall brings me back over. [The] first thing I say is, like, ‘John, get a grip and have some authority on your team.’ It’s humiliating to send me out there and then pull me back in. It’s so emasculating.”

Once Lil Dicky finally got in the game, he was rewarded by getting “fouled so hard by Deontay Wilder — at the time, heavyweight champion of the world.” He concluded, “I get up. I missed two free throws, and then I played one more meaningless minute. I moved to the end of the bench and just chose not to even make myself available for the rest of the game.”

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the world of celebrity relationships, the highs and lows are often played out in the public eye. Furthermore, the recent news between Ray J and Princess Love are no exception. Following Love’s divorce filing, Ray J has reportedly responded with his own court request. He is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two children, Melody and Epik.

Ray J is taking steps to ensure a fair custody arrangement for their children. He is requesting joint legal and physical custody, and claims he is aiming to maintain an active role in their lives. This is despite the challenges of co-parenting after divorce. According to PEOPLE, the “Sexy Can I” singer responded on Thursday, April 4th. In addition to addressing custody matters, Ray J is also seeking clarity on financial aspects, including spousal support and division of assets. Furthermore, his request to divide assets, specifically “miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects” reflects a pragmatic approach to managing their shared financial interests.

However, the division of assets is not without its complexities. The exact date of separation remains a point of determination. For a few years now, the pair’s relationship has had its ups and downs. However, over the course of their relationship, the couple has announced their plan to divorce at least 4 times now. The most recent announcement came on February 26, 2024. Princess Love shared a statement on her Instagram account writing, “It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our decision to divorce. After much reflection, discussion, and counseling, we have come to the difficult realization that our paths have diverged, and it is in the best interest of both of us to part ways,” she wrote.

In conclusion, the ongoing legal proceedings between Ray J and Princess Love highlight complexities of divorce, particularly in the realm of celebrity relationships. As they work towards a solution that balances custody arrangements and asset division, the world waits to see what happens next. However, whether the two are really done this time, remains to be seen.

What Did Ari Lennox Say About Joe Budden?

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast began with a discussion around J. Cole’s Might Delete Later. Co-host Lamar “Ice” Burney was reviewing “Pricey” and noted the song features Gucci Mane and Young Dro. Budden interjected, “And Ari Lennox. Don’t do that to Ari. Ari Lennox is on track one as well. Shout-out to her.” It seemed like a well-intentioned shoutout for a split second before Budden added, “Don’t need her to go grab a football helmet again.”

What Did Ari Lennox Say About Joe Budden?

It would appear Lennox did not take kindly to her name coming out of Budden’s mouth. On her Instagram Story, Lennox posted a video of Consequence punching Budden backstage at a Love And Hip-Hop: New York reunion taping in 2013. After 24 Instagram Story posts of the same video, Lennox wrote, “Knocked your little glasses off and everything. Keep my precious name out of your psychotic, animal-abusing, women-terrorizing, demonic trolling, nicotine-encased mouth. All this meth smoke for a woman but not for any man beating your ass in real life. Bald b*tch!”

Of course, this is not just about one comment made this week. During the January 11 episode of Budden’s podcast, Budden criticized Lennox for expressing that she “was never comfortable” while opening on Rod Wave’s Nostalgia Tour last year.

Budden dismissed Lennox’s feelings — emphasizing that “it’s a blessing” to be able to tour as a musician and suggesting that Lennox should have told her team that she didn’t want to open for Rod Wave. For reference, Budden’s “football helmet” comment this week was a callback to mocking Lennox’s response to having a bottle thrown at her during one of her Nostalgia Tour sets.

“She went out there the next day with a football helmet on,” Budden said in January. “It’s only funny if it’s funny. […] I got a problem with this ‘woe is me’ era. I do. From guys, from girls.”

Lennox also clapped back in January. “Y’all, I don’t know what Joe Budden’s obsession is with me, but what I will say is that somebody needs to tell him to stop touching them dogs,” she said on an Instagram Live, as captured here. “I don’t understand why he’s so obsessed. Like, why are you so obsessed?” Budden apologized (sort of).

Beyonce’s Daughter Rumi Carter Breaks Blue Ivy’s Hot 100 Record

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in 2019, Blue Ivy Carter broke an impressive chart record. She became the youngest person to ever be credited for a song on the Hot 100. She appeared alongside her mother, SAINt JHN, and Wizkid on the track “BROWN SKIN GIRL” from Bey’s The Lion King soundtrack. The song spent one week at number 76 on the charts but it was enough for Blue Ivy to secure the record. But now as the tracklist of COWBOY CARTER has hit the chart, she no longer holds the record.

Within COWBOY CARTER is the track “PROTECTOR.” The song sees Bey leaning into some of her maternal instincts and ambitions, which is why it’s so perfect that it includes her daughter Rumi Carter. The 6-year-old’s song debuted at number 42 on the Hot 100 this week. Every single eligible song from the project hit the Hot 100 this week. That included “TEXAS HOLD EM,” “II MOST WANTED,” and “JOLENE” in the top 10. With her placement on the chart she officially surpassed Blue Ivy as the youngest credited artist to ever appear on the Hot 100.

Beyonce made history of her own when the album hit the Hot Country Albums chart. She officially became the first black woman to ever top the chart in its entire 60 year history. Last month, she received a special Innovator Award during his year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards. Artists like Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars have taken the award home in the past.

The praise for COWBOY CARTER has been overwhelming. Fans and critics alike have spoken positively of the album since it dropped. That’s why it’s no surprise that its first week featured the biggest sales total for any album of 2024 so far. What do you think of Rumi Carter breaking Blue Ivy’s record for being the youngest credited artist to ever appear on the Hot 100? Do you think Rumi’s record will ever be broken?

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Latto has become a certified hitmaker in the past few years. While “Big Energy” served as her breakthrough and her biggest hit yet, she’s become a pretty reliable staple of popular music. Last year she teamed up with Cardi B for a hit remix of her song “Put It On Da Floor.” She also joined K-pop star Jung Kook for his massive hit song “Seven.” During a recent interview with Hot 107.9 she spoke on the writing process of some of her biggest songs, in particular, which one was the easiest.

When asked what track was the simplest to assemble she answered with one of her first singles ever. “‘Bitch from da Souf’ was like, I was pullin’ up a beat pack from Bankroll Got It, and I heard the ‘Bitch from da Souf’ beat, and I really just started writing it in my Notes. Went to the studio that night, or the next day, and cut it,” she explains. She goes on to explain that now she feels a lot more pressure during the songwriting process than she used to. ““Now, I be trying to recreate that process, because now I be overthinking everything. I wish I could get back in that mindset where it’s like, no pressure,” she concludes. Check out the clip from her new interview below.

Earlier this week, Latto was asked about her top three favorite female rappers of all time.

She may not have wanted to say the rapper’s name following beef they’ve had in the past. What do you think of Latto’s claims that one of her earliest songs was one of the easiest to write? Are you looking forward to hearing the next hit from her? Let us know in the comment section below.

Which Rappers Have Apologized To Kendrick Lamar?

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During the headlining performance at his Dreamville Festival, J. Cole rescinded the shots he took at Kendrick Lamar on “7 Minute Drill.” The outro from his latest surprise album responded to Lamar’s verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” which dissed both Cole and Drake. On “7 Minute Drill,” J. Cole aimed at Kendrick’s discography and minimal output while also expressing hesitation to diss him out of love. His decision to backtrack the bars on his Might Delete Later outro has garnered polarizing reactions from the hip hop community. Social media may be in a frenzy over his public apology, but J. Cole is far from the first rapper to walk back their remarks against Kendrick Lamar. Today, we are revisiting five instances in which rappers have offered an apology to Kendrick Lamar. Take a look at the list below.

Macklemore

My text to Kendrick after the show. He deserved best rap album… I’m honored and completely blown… http://t.co/TOnjGU6aGi

— Macklemore (@macklemore) January 27, 2014

After taking home the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 2014 for The Heist, Macklemore took to Instagram to reveal a text message he sent to Kendrick Lamar. “You got robbed,” he wrote. “I wanted you to win. You should have. It’s weird and sucks that I robbed you. I was gonna say that during the speech. Then the music started playing during the speech and I froze.” Many saw Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s win over Kendrick Lamar, Drake, JAY-Z, and Kanye West as a major upset for the hip hop community, despite their astronomical success as independent artists. The aftermath of The Heist’s Grammy win resulted in Macklemore’s apology to Kendrick Lamar, advocating that Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City should have won instead.

Jay Electronica

A few years after appearing on Big Sean’s “Control” alongside Kendrick Lamar, Jay Electronica dissed Lamar during a 2016 livestream. “Kendrick is my son, Kendrick is my baby, Kendrick wishes he could be me,” he said. Soon after, Jay Electronica released “#TBE The Curse of Mayweather,” in which he referenced Kendrick Lamar’s 11 Grammy nominations. “He’s got eleven Grammy nominations, y’all not equal / Maaaan f*ck these white people!” he raps. Ab-Soul defended his fellow Black Hippy member, dissing Jay on “RAW (Backwards).” Jay Electronica later issued a public apology to Kendrick Lamar, asking him and Top Dawg to “forgive [his] past transgressions.”

Lupe Fiasco

Lupe Fiasco Denies Ever Apologizing To Kendrick Lamar https://t.co/nYr46fOuMk

— HotNewHipHop (@HotNewHipHop) April 10, 2024

Lupe Fiasco has expressed his gripes with Kendrick Lamar on several occasions. He once said he does not regard Lamar as a top-tier lyricist, favoring rappers like King Los and Logic. “[Kendrick’s] overall lyrics are good, his stories phenomenal, but punchline entendre lyrically I don’t see it,” he said. In 2018, Lupe took to Twitter to voice his suspicions about Kendrick potentially copying his album cover. “Even I admit this is a little too close for comfort,” he captioned a side-by-side image of Kendrick and SZA’s “All the Stars” and the initial artwork for DROGAS WAVE. Lupe continued, “No matter how far you go… you will reflect me,” pointing out similarities between their album covers, reversed tracklists, and ninja-themed aesthetics.

Fiasco later backtracked his views, writing, “I apologize for even engaging and talking about n****s’ careers. I’ll never do that sh*t again.” This 2018 statement recently made headlines in light of J. Cole’s apology to Kendrick Lamar. Earlier this week, Lupe Fiasco clarified his remarks on Twitter, writing, “I wasn’t apologizing to him lol…I was sorry about the entire shindig because it was such a waste of time and energy in something that actually had nothing to do with me.” Despite his sentiment, Lupe also voiced that he “fears no rapper of any kind or on any time,” indicating that he is not ducking any smoke from any artist.

French Montana

In 2020, French Montana started a Twitter debate that he has more hits than Kendrick Lamar. He wrote, “If we just talking about anthems, me vs Kendrick hit for hit ! I believe I can go neck to neck!!” Doubling down on his declaration, he continued, “I love Kendrick! that’s not just for Kendrick that’s to anybody they put in front of me.” Young Thug even got involved in the conversation, sparking a Twitter debate. French Montana later retracted his statement, apologizing to Kendrick Lamar on Instagram Live. He said, “I want to do the positive thing here and stay out the way of trouble ‘cause at the end of the day, me, Thug and Kendrick [are] three different artists.”

Big Sean

Even after appearing together on songs like “Control” and “Holy Key,” Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar began their long history of subliminal exchanges. Sean allegedly dissed Kendrick on “No More Interviews,” leading many to believe that Lamar’s alleged shots on “The Heart Part IV” were targeted at Sean. In 2020, however, Big Sean revealed in his song “Deep Reverence” that he and Kendrick buried the hatchet. He raps, “I reached out to Kendrick, it wasn’t even no real issues there to begin with / Lack of communication and wrong information from people fueled by their ego, it’s like mixin’ flames with diesel.” The two reportedly remain friendly, though Kendrick Lamar’s outshining of Big Sean’s latest releases prompted more supposed shots.

For the project he recruited guests like Rico Nasty, Freddie Gibbs, Ab-Soul and more. But with a recent tweet he hyped up yet another highly anticipated comeback from a former collaborator of his. Q teamed up with Vince Staples for the track “Ride Out” from 2016 album Blank Face LP.
