NBA YoungBoy’s Friend Seemingly Disses Gillie & Wallo, Claims Only Bootleg Kev Interview Was “Approved”

December 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Bootleg Kev dropped his interview with NBA YoungBoy, which saw the 24-year-old rapper dissect his public image atop “Gravedigger Mountain.” YB shared the interview on YouTube alongside a message thanking Kev, writing, “I don’t want to be seen high and messed up.” This prompted some speculation among fans, who thought he could have been suggesting he was under the influence in other recent interviews, and didn’t want them to come out.

Now, a post from one of YB’s associates has only compounded this speculation. Herm Tha BlackSheep took to his Instagram Story yesterday to comment on the Bootleg Kev interview, claiming that it was the “only interview” YB “approved to drop.” Many commenters perceived this as shade towards Gillie Da Kid and Wallo267, who just chatted with the Baton Rouge native on their Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast.

“A lot of people like to have gangster energy with him,” Herm Tha BlackSheep wrote. “Instead of the people who actually killed they seed sh*t cr*azy. But ok.” Countless fans are chiming in, with many claiming that if YB didn’t want his Million Dollaz Worth Of Game interview to be released, he shouldn’t have done it in the first place. While it’s possible that YB didn’t want the interview to drop, it did have some standout moments. For one, YB told Gillie and Wallo that he feels as though he hasn’t been given a “fair shot.” According to him, he hasn’t ever been viewed as anything other than “uncivilized.”

He also hit the two hosts with a deep question of his own. He asked them what makes them happy, prompting some compelling responses. What do you think of Herm Tha BlackSheep’s comments on NBA YoungBoy’s recent interviews? Do you think his post was a jab at Gillie and Wallo?

Earlier this year Lil Uzi Vert released their new album Pink Tape. Though it performed well commercially, the album was met with some criticism from fans and wasn’t received well by critics. Since the album dropped Uzi has continually promised a quick follow up announcing two albums, Barter 16 and LUV Is Rage 3, though neither has materialized yet.

That doesn’t mean that Uzi has been entirely quiet in the months following Pink Tape. In fact, the rapper just shared a new song and music video earlier this week. The track is called “Red Moon” though it’s unclear if it’s intended to eventually end up on one of the two albums they’ve announced this year. The song has already racked up a couple hundred thousand Spotify streams in just a few days. What do you think of Lil Uzi Vert deciding they want to get all of their tattoos removed? Do you think the rapper will actually start to go through with it? Let us know in the comment section below.

Across the past few months 50 Cent has been re-igniting beef he has with Diddy. It started in the wake of a lawsuit filed against the legendary rap mogul by Cassie making some intense accusations of assault. That was followed by even more lawsuits dating back decades with a whole variety of nasty claims against Diddy. 50 has taken pretty much every opportunity since then to take shots at him un any way he can think of.

50 has taken from stand-up comedy skits, repurposed old photos and even shared AI generated content all in an attempt to troll Diddy. But he’s also taking the allegations made against Diddy seriously. 50 claimed he wanted to make a detailed documentary dissecting everything Diddy has been accused of with all the proceeds going to his alleged victims.

Cassie’s Friend Recalls Diddy’s Alleged Abuse In New Interview

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Diddy’s ex Cassie filed a bombshell lawsuit against the Bad Boy Records founder, accusing him of rape, physical abuse, and more. The two of them settled shortly after she filed, but her allegations still managed to spark a great deal of discourse, particularly as more alleged victims come forward. Since Cassie filed, Diddy has been hit with four additional lawsuits from women who accuse him of sexual assault.

Amid all of this, Cassie’s friend and collaborator Tiffany Red has come forward, sharing her account of witnessing Diddy’s alleged abuse in an interview with NBC News. According to her, she saw Diddy corner Cassie at her 29th birthday party, where he proceeded to “[cuss] her out with his hand in her face.” She says that things escalated later that night when she was staying the night at Cassie’s home.

Tiffany Red Speaks Out Against Diddy

Tiffany Red recalls waking up to the sound of Cassie screaming and heading downstairs to see what the commotion was. She claims that she walked into the living room to find Cassie “sedated,” and Diddy proceeded to make some disturbing remarks. “Tell your girl she wants some birthday d*ck,” she says Diddy told her, upset that Cassie wasn’t interested in sleeping with him. She remembers advocating for her friend, reminding him that she didn’t have to do anything she didn’t want to.

The songwriter explained that a few months ago, Cassie revealed what was actually taking place that night, which shocked her. According to her, Diddy wanted Cassie to participate in a “freak off,” which allegedly included him hiring sex workers to sleep with her while he watched. “She told me the only time he was willing to work on her music or go through any plans, any of that, was when she had a freak off,” Tiffany Red says. “To find out that like, I spent all these years writing these songs for him to rape my friend to? It’s just disgusting.” What do you think of Cassie’s friend Tiffany Red speaking out against Diddy? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

NBA YoungBoy Blasts Reporter For J. Cole Collab Question During Interview

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy is notorious for being in his fair share of rap beefs, whether they’re more serious or just from MC to MC. Moreover, one of his most recent exploits was with J. Cole, as they had a bit of a back and forth with alleged subliminal disses and straight-up callouts from his end. However, it seemed like things would quiet down a little on that front after a recent interview YB did with “Lizzie Pure,” also known as Lizabeth Korn. In it, she asked him about Cole’s line on his Drake collab “First Person Shooter” about still wanting to do a song with him.

Furthermore, YoungBoy said that if the Dreamville MC makes his way up to Gravedigger Mountain in Utah, he’s down. Now, though, it seems like there was a misunderstanding, because his Instagram account left a couple of comments (since deleted) on Lizzie’s IG post about her talk with him. In it, the Baton Rouge rapper suggests that he didn’t approve of certain clips coming out and called her a “clout chaser.” It’s a bit unclear what he’s specifically mad about and who he’s talking about in one of the comments, but that’s what we can devise from this.

“Go report this h*e page,” YoungBoy expressed in Lizzie Pure’s comments section. “this b***h unprofessional and clout chasing. You a dog a** b***h ain’t nobody approved none of this you doing. You tried that bulls**t a** clip with [J. Cole] saying he’ll be able to remove anything if he wanted it out then released it. ‘Dead b***h walking.’” Again, who the “he” is in this comment could be the 24-year-old, Cole, or someone else. Just goes to show that he can’t escape beef often.

Meanwhile, the Richest Opp hitmaker recently broke up the negativity with some holiday cheer. He recently dressed up as Santa Claus and took the kids sledding in Utah, which was odd but wholesome to see. Hopefully more moments like this prop up rather than more media feuds. For more news and the latest updates on NBA YoungBoy, come back to HNHH.

Ice Spice Might Drop Debut Album In 2024, Her Producer RiotUSA States

December 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice and her producer RiotUSA had an absolutely killer 2023, with the rapper arguably being the genre’s biggest breakout star of the year. Moreover, it’s only natural for us to expect that next year will only bring us better things when it comes to this duo. With plenty of hits already under their belts, there’s a lot of pressure for them to perform, bring some real heat, and impress in a big way in 2024. During a recent interview with Billboard, Riot detailed some parts of their process together as collaborators and also hinted at what they’re working hard on for the next step in their careers.

“It’s a fun time because she really be saying how she feels in that moment,” he remarked of Ice Spice, who’s been making music with him since 2021 after they met at SUNY Purchase. “From picking out vibes or punching in lyrics on the spot. Fans should know I produce and record too, so look out for my music. Also look out for new classics with Ice in 2024. We’re working on her debut album as we speak.”

Ice Spice Performing At iHeart Powerhouse 105.1

Furthermore, this is pretty much all we know about the Bronx MC’s full-length debut, but it’s just enough to get our hopes up. We never really expected her not to capitalize on her incredible fame and success, but gap years come in very surprising ways, so you never know when someone wants to take a break and really sit on their next move. This is also quite exciting because Ice Spice recently switched labels, and hopefully that ends up being a big win for her in retrospect. With that in mind, all we can hope for is that they come through with another update sooner rather than later.

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old knows exactly how good she is– and she’s not shy about gassing herself up. One of her funniest recent social media posts was revealing that she was her most listened-to artist of 2023 on Spotify. Hopefully that means the “Deli” hitmaker is listening to her own material a lot to think about what she’ll improve on her debut album. For more news and the latest updates on Ice Spice and RiotUSA, stay posted on HNHH.

AZ Joins “Drink Champs” To Discuss Collabs, The Industry & How He Stays Grounded

December 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When you look at many lists of the most underrated rappers of all time, one name that pops up more often than most is AZ. Moreover, you probably know him best as Nas’ good friend who has stellar features on his 1994 classic Illmatic. However, the New York MC has a whole host of amazing solo material, cutting verses, intricate wordplay and technical ability, a lot of charisma, impeccable storytelling, and a true dedication to the art and craft of hip-hop. It’s a quality that made him reflect on how the industry moves, and how the effects of fame and money is something that he either took advantage of or strayed away from. Now, the 51-year-old joined Drink Champs recently to break it all down.

Furthermore, AZ spoke to N.O.R.E., DJ EFN, and company about his most well-known work, that being his Nas collabs. He went over some stories with his comrade, and also brought up how this was what truly introduced him to the world of rap for profit. In addition, the “Respect Mines” lyricist also explained how this early phase led to the formation of the group The Firm with Esco, Foxy Brown, Cormega, and Nature. Overall, he has a lot to look back to when it comes to the genre’s prime, and it’s from a uniquely humble perspective.

AZ On Drink Champs: Watch

But how did AZ stay firm through it all, whether during his ’90s run or his contributions to the industry today? Well, he explains that competition, the search for money, and one’s ego are things to trust with skepticism. To elaborate, these are all things that drive artists to be better, to act smarter, to work harder, and to help each other reach their peak levels of potential. But it’s also a dangerously slippery slope that can lead to a lot of evil, too, and it’s something that the Doe Or Die II wordsmith is well aware of.

Meanwhile, if you want to listen the Bed-Stuy native these days, check out his latest tape, Truth Be Told. What did you think of his Drink Champs guest spot? Let us know in the comments section below. For more news and the latest updates on AZ and the popular interview show, stay logged into HNHH.

Doja Cat Speaks On Sam Hyde Drama & Relationship With Her Fans

December 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat recently sat down with Ebro Darden on Apple Music (which you can watch here), and they had a whole lot of topics to talk about. She released her album Scarlet earlier this year, has had a lot of other success and evolutionary moments in her career, and also faced satanist accusations that she called “tacky.” However, one of the most interesting parts of this conversation have to do with the “Paint The Town Red” hitmaker’s more scandalous controversies as of late. One of these stems from her use of a shirt featuring Sam Hyde, a controversial comedian who is infamous for his political views and social leanings. The other relates to Doja’s relationship with her fans, whom she refuses to tell that she loves them because they don’t really know each other.

Furthermore, let’s start on that first point. She claimed ignorance when it comes to Hyde’s controversies, and said that she never intended to cosign, promote, or acknowledge any line of thought in particular, especially ideologies that are more destructive. However, Doja Cat also believes that people took this too far, and that her fame numbed her to negative opinion. “It didn’t affect the world in a way where we have to look behind our backs,” she told Ebro.

On the other hand, we have her connection to her fanbase, which has gotten a lot better in recent weeks. Still, many fans think that the Los Angeles native is not as appreciative, thankful, or considerate when it comes to her die-hards as she should be. Regardless of the responses to her comments, she maintained in this new interview that she never presents any negativity; just an acknowledgement of reality. “One thing that I do want to set straight is that you’ll never see a direct quote of me saying, ‘I hate my fans,’” Doja Cat shared. “ Not once. But it’s a really big misquoted thing where everybody is saying, ‘She hates her fans.’”

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old recently praised Nicki Minaj, so fans hope that a collab is on the way. With this and these new interview comments in mind, it’s heartening to see her move past a lot of what’s dogged her this year. Hopefully that upward trend continues.
