Mustard Trolled Drake By Almost Playing His Music, But Making An Appropriate Transition Instead, At Camp Flog Gnaw

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mustard had some fun with the whole Drake/Kendrick Lamar situation at Camp Flog Gnaw this weekend.

During his set (as seen in this video clip), Mustard, who is firmly on Lamar’s side, started playing “Crew Love,” but before the track reached Drake’s verse, Mustard gave a “sike!” before transitioning to Future, Metro Boomin, and Lamar’s “Like That.”

In an interview from earlier this year, Mustard said, “I don’t think I want to make a song with that dude. He’s a strange guy. [Drake fans] don’t go to sleep — all they do is tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet. That’s where ‘the Nation of drizzlam’ came from. I said it in a joking manner, but I guess on Twitter it looked like I was mad [laughs]. Drake should use that phrase. I won’t charge him for it.”

He also said of Lamar at the time, “He’s just a genius. He does the unthinkable every time. And on a human level — just as a normal person — I like his style. […] His whole mystique gives me the same vibes as Prince. Even now [after the success of ‘Not Like Us’], the guy has not posted anything. I told him, ‘I don’t know how you do that sh*t. Me, I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I’m No. 1!””

Mustard Savagely Trolls Drake At Camp Flog Gnaw With Clever Beat Switch

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The 10th Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival took place this weekend, and it seems like it was a blast. A plethora of stars popped out this year, including Denzel Curry, Andre 3000, Erykah Badu, and many more. Mustard was one of a nice handful of producers that got time on stage, and he made the most of it. He’s been having a banner year, mostly thanks to producing Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” which continues to run the genre. He made sure to give the rabid fans what they wanted, playing the mega diss record a couple of times. However, if you search “mustard camp flog gnaw” on Twitter, a different clip from his set is trending right now.

As you may remember, following the release of his K. Dot collab, Mustard had been extremely vocal about his disdain for Drake. In fact, after effectively blaming The Boy for his poor first week sales of Faith Of Mustard Seed, he doubled down that he’s got no love for him. “I don’t think I want to make a song with that dude. He’s a strange guy,” he told the Los Angeles Times. It’s pretty clear that Mustard is done with him. However, if you needed some extra convincing, the acclaimed hitmaker’s got you.

Mustard Pump Faked The Camp Flog Gnaw Crowd Good

During “Mustard & Friends” he began to play Drake and The Weeknd’s 2011 hit “Crew Love” from Take Care. But just before the former’s verse was about to get underway, he duped the entire crowd. “SIKE!” Mustard yelled before transitioning to Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick’s “Like That.” Everyone in attendance was shocked, but you could tell they were stoked.

This devious act continues to prove that Drake is just not welcome at Camp Flog Gnaw. If you remember, about five years ago, he was viciously booed off the stage. His surprise appearance had many upset, as the crowd was anticipating the reclusive Frank Ocean to be out there instead. Drake ended his set 20 minutes early, according to reports, and he hasn’t been back since.

Mustard Accuses Ex Wife Of Violating Divorce Agreement With Defamation

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Mustard and Chanel Thierry had an acrimonious divorce. The couple went through a lengthy and very public battle in which accusations were thrown both ways. It appeared as though both parties had moved on, but November 15 brought about the next legal complication. Mustard is accusing Thierry of violating their divorce agreement through various statements she has made on social media. The producer claims that Thierry defamed him and even questioned the validity of his alleged cancer scare.

Mustard leveled several complaints against Thierry in documents obtained by TMZ. The producer wrote that his ex-wife attempted to paint him as a dead beat father in an effort to increase child support pay to their three children. To make matters even worse, Mustard claimed that Chanel Thierry released medical information about him online. In October, Thierry took to Threads to post screenshots of text exchanges between her and Mustard. In said text, the producer states that he’s fears a potential cancer diagnosis in his future.

“This is hard for me and if you know me you should know the thoughts of cancer is hard for me I feel so lost and just helpless,” he texted. Chanel Thierry posted this screenshot, along with several others, with the caption: “Playing the ‘silent [role] while intentionally dragging me through hell for 2 years. I have the text messages still.” Thierry has since deleted the post, but Mustard believes the damage to his public image and reputation is done.

The producer is requesting that Thierry publicly retract the “defamatory” and “false statement.” He’s also asking a judge to admonish his ex-wife for violating their divorce agreement. Mustard believes, and fears, that Chanel Thierry’s statements will have a negative impact on his relationship with their children. Mustard has not had the easiest 2024, as it is. The producer’s solo album, FAITH OF A MUSTARD SEED, sold a paltry 18 units first week. He proceeded to go on a social media rant and blame Drake, as well as DJ Akademiks, for the album’s performance.

Travis Scott, Sexyy Red And More Celebrate Young Thug’s Freedom

October 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s Halloween for most of the world, but it’s Young Thug’s day for hip hop fans. The rapper was set free on Thursday after a lengthy trial. He was given 15 years probation, and a host of conditions upon release, but he was released, and that’s what matters. The hip hip world showed their support for Young Thug all throughout his trial. Other rappers made it clear that they were desperate to see their peer released, so he could assume his legendary career. Now that it’s happened, the celebration has begun.

Sexyy Red, a rapper who was repeatedly cited Young Thug as her “twin,” took to Twitter to voice her happiness. “They let twin out,” she exclaimed. Jay Electronica took a wordier, Jay Electronica-esque approach in his tweet. He praised Allah and reminded Thugger to make the most of his second chance. “Praise be to Allah they let this man come home,” he wrote. “Be Great Slime.” DJ Mustard also got in on the celebration by noting that Halloween has been topped. “Thug free,” he tweeted out. “What a day!” NBA athlete James Harden voiced his support more subtly. He tweeted out a snake to represent the rapper’s “slime” aesthetic.

Travis Scott Called Young Thug His “Brudda”

THEY LET TWIN OUT!!!

The most notable show of love, however, came from Travis Scott. Thug and Travis Scott rose to fame around the same time. Thugger appeared on Scott’s breakout mixtape, Days Before Rodeo. He’s stellar on the track “Mamacita,” which gained renewed interest during his trial. The mixtape was uploaded to streaming, which exposed it to a brand new generation. “Mamacita” also featured an exemplary verse from Thug’s friend Rich Homie Quan, who died on September 5. Young Thug and the Astroworld superstar have a particularly strong bond.

Unsurprisingly, Travis Scott posted a photo alongside Thugger. He posted the photo on his Instagram Story with the caption: “My brudda otw home.” The man who narrated Travis Scott’s first album, Rodeo, also stepped in with words of support. T.I. posted his own photos of Thug on Twitter. “Welcome Home lil bruddah,” he wrote. “It’s been too long… Time to get back to it!!!” T.I. had previously gone on record to state that he would make sure Thug was taken care of when he got home. Thankfully, he’s home a lot sooner than anybody anticipated. Check out additional celeb posts below.

THUG FREE WHAT A DAY !!!!!!

Mustard Retains Major Assets After Finalizing Divorce Settlement

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mustard has had lots of ups and downs over the past few years. The producer scored his first number one single with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” He also moved an underwhelming number of units for his last studio album. He announced the birth of his fourth child in July, but has been embroiled in a long and messy divorce with his ex-wife, Chanel Thierry. Fortunately, the latter was resolved on October 14th. TMZ confirmed that a divorce settlement has been reached between Mustard and Thierry, and it’s very beneficial for the former.

TMZ reported that Mustard will retain several pricey assets in the divorce. These assets include a mansion in Chatsworth and residential homes in Simi Valley and Los Angeles, respectively. The iconic producer will also get to hold on to several different vehicles. Mustard will retain ownership of a fleet of motorcycles and jet-skis. He will also get to keep a number of luxury cars, including a 2022 Maybach Benz, a 2018 Lamborghini Aventador, a 2022 Cadillac Escalade, a 2019 Lamborghini Urus and a 2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The producer is also the owner of a 1960 Chevy Impala 4. Most important of all, though, Mustard will retain the rights to his music catalog.

Mustard’s Ex Nets $24K In Monthly Child Support

Chanel Thierry will also be given quite a bit in the divorce. TMZ confirmed that she will be given a one time payment of $315,000 for spousal support. Furthermore, Mustard has decided to give his ex-wife a one time “equalization” payment of $275,000. These lump sums will be accompanied by a Tesla Model X and Sleepova. The latter is a pajama and loungewear company that Thierry founded. She’s also going to be given $24,5000 in monthly child support. Thierry has not said anything about the settlement. That said, she has made her disdain for Mustard’s actions clear via social media posts over the years.

Thierry exposed Mustard’s annual income in an attempt to acquire more child support in June 2023. She also took to Instagram in September to comment on the notion of having kids before marriage. She said she would never make the mistake of having kids before marriage, and fans believed the she was dissing Mustard in her statement. Especially since Mustard is not married to the mother of his most recent child. “At this big grown age of almost being 33,” Thierry wrote. “You will see me pop out with a ring before a baby. I wouldn’t make the same mistake I did at 19 at this big age. Learn and [grow].”

Mustard Predicts Whether Kendrick Lamar Will Bring Him Out For “Not Like Us” At Super Bowl

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Like all of us, Mustard seems to not have a clue what’s going to happen at Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show performance. However, even though he apparently hasn’t gotten the call from K.Dot to come out for “Not Like Us” – if he even performs that track – he’s still very excited for the show. The producer recently spoke with Billboard in an interview published Wednesday (October 9) about the upcoming headline event and whether or not he’ll be a part of it. Fortunately, he didn’t really spill a lot of secrets, as he was more focused on his excitement to just witness the spectacle like the rest of us.

“I definitely can’t wait to watch the Super Bowl, man,” Mustard remarked of the Kendrick Lamar extravaganza coming next year in New Orleans. “Can’t wait. This year’s going to be pretty special. I might shed a tear [if he performs ‘Not Like Us.’] I am grateful for him to perform it on stage. If he performs it on stage by himself and doesn’t call me, I wouldn’t give a s**t. Just perform it.”

Mustard Speaks On Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

“Don’t get me wrong – call me,” Mustard clarified to Kendrick Lamar via this Billboard interview, indicating that he and his team might still be putting stuff together for the Super Bowl halftime show. “If you want me, I’ll slide. But I’ll be there regardless going crazy, acting like I’m on stage. If I’m in a box, they might show me on TV from how crazy [I’ll be going]. I might stand on a chair. They might show me on the TV like, ‘He’s going berserk!’” Meanwhile, there are a lot of people who would probably react exactly like this, too. After all, it’s one of the biggest hits of the y ear for a reason.

Still, amid all the other Super Bowl halftime show theories, there’s no telling whether or not Kendrick Lamar performs the West Coast banger. If he does, then we hope that Mustard is right there with him to celebrate his latest massive hit. But no matter what’s on the horizon, we can’t wait to see the whole thing for ourselves.

Mustard Admits He Was “Nervous As S***” To Perform At Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out”

October 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mustard has been having one the best years of his career so far. 2024 has mostly been dominated by the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, and he was in the thick of it. His biggest contribution came as the mastermind behind the instrumental for “Not Like Us.” It’s viewed as the dagger of the battle, and it’s probably the biggest song of the year. There’s also a great chance it takes home a ton of awards at the 2025 GRAMMYs, as Kendrick did submit for nomination consideration.

In addition to the song itself, Mustard was also involved with its accompanying music video, appearing in a few scenes. But arguably, the California native’s most important piece of involvement came during the Pop Out. The show was truly a uniting moment for the West Coast hip-hop scene, and it may go down as one of the greatest rap shows this century. Yes, it was amplified by Kendrick playing a lot of the diss tracks but seeing all of the Cali MCs support him and one another was truly special.

Mustard Recounts His Experience At The Pop Out

That is probably something that led to Mustard feeling extremely anxious about the show. According to HipHopDX, a feature with Billboard was recently published and in the interview him and the publication talked about various topics. Some of those included Kendrick’s reaction to the “Not Like Us” beat, advice from Timbaland, and more. One of the conversations surrounded that night at the Pop Out, and he came clean and revealed his true feelings being the opener. “I was nervous as s***. It just didn’t feel real,” he expressed. We can totally see that, especially given the circumstances, but he set the tone for the remainder of the show.

What are your thoughts on Mustard saying that he was really nervous to perform at the Pop Out? How would you feel if you were in the producer’s shoes? Is the Pop Out one of the most important rap concerts ever? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Mustard. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Compton Business Owner Slams Report That Kendrick Lamar Is At Fault For Financial Blowback Over ‘Not Like Us’ Video Shoot

September 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For weeks Drake fans have been waiting for the Kendrick Lamar’s public favor to expire. Yesterday (September 14), it appeared that it finally had. In an exclusive report from the LA Times, business owners from the “6:16 In LA” rapper’s hometown expressed their frustration with Kendrick over his “Not Like Us” video shoot.

However, after the piece was published, one of the Compton, California entrepreneur came out against the story. Over on Instagram, Corina Pleasant of Alma’s Food For The Soul claimed to have been “misquoted.” Initially it was believed that Pleasant and others held Kendrick, his production company pgLang, and the city officials responsible for thousands in lost revenue during the video’s filming.

In a screenshot captured by Joey of Gotham Hip Hop, Pleasant set the record straight.

“This entire post is misquoted and pushing a narrative that we do not represent,” wrote the business’ official Instagram page. “Please, please do not believe everything you read. Words have been twisted, and it’s not right.”

The account then went to clarify their feelings, writing: “The city should have made better decisions with notification to tax paying business owners. We, in no way have any negative commentary for Kendrick. This was a city issue.”

To close, the page also slammed internet personality Akademiks for his commentary on the matter. “And Akademiks you better be careful about misquoting people and twisting words,” they wrote. “We never spoke to you, so how are you misquoting verbiage as fact.”

Despite Pleasant’s updated statement, the business appeared to still receive negative attention. So, in their Instagram Stories they tried to make the best of their new-found infamy.

Kendrick Lamar, pgLang, nor have Compton, California city official publicly addressed the statement.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Video Reportedly Cost Compton Businesses Thousands In Lost Revenue, Which They Want The Rapper To Reimburse

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar has been a long victory lap since his win in the Drake beef. The “Meet The Grahams” rapper’s eye are set on New Orleans thanks to him securing the coveted Apple Music Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show slot. However, business owners in Compton, California are urging him to handle a mess he supposedly made back home.

According to LA Times’ recent report, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” video cost several local staples, thousands in lost revenue.

Corina Pleasant of Alma’s Place a popular local establishment, told the outlet that on June 22 she noticed that business slowed down despite having an overflowing parking lot. Pleasant claims that the spectators gathered at the strip mall and nearby courthouse to watch the video being film, which took away slot for potential patrons.

Due to the pandemonium, several business owners argue that they were “forced to shut down operations.” Despite temporarily closing their doors, they were still required to pay staff for their unprofitable shifts. Now, they are requesting that Kendrick Lamar, his production company Pglang, or the city of Compton reimburse them for the day, which they say could’ve been avoided if city officials provided them with advance notice about the music video shoot.
