KSI Thanks Drake For Cosigning His Virally Clowned Trippie Redd Collab

KSI and Trippie Redd recently spoke to Official Charts for an interview about their new song “Thick Of It,” which is going viral for a few different reasons. One of them is the barrage of hate that the record received, which the artists briefly touched on but overall dismissed in the face of the track’s wider success. Another is how Drake responded to it, reposting it on an Instagram Reel and asking Adin Ross to play it on his stream. While we and many others assumed that the 6ix God did this in a mocking manner, it turns out that he actually has a lot of love for the collab.

The Drake thing was crazy, man,” KSI expressed. “For him to even put the song on his Reel, that’s huge. I just couldn’t believe it, I was like, ‘What the hell?’ To be honest, I didn’t actually know. I had several people message me. Like, ‘Bro, Drake’s used your song!’ I’d just woken up like, ‘Yo, what?’ Then I saw it, and I was like ‘Mad!’ I messaged him saying ‘Big up, thank you for using it,’ and he was like, ‘Yo, I had to, it gets the people going!’ That’s sick, he’s legit. I appreciate it.”

KSI Speaks On Drake Cosign

Of course, Drake and Trippie Redd also have a pretty strong relationship, so this love is no surprise. Whether through past collaborations or previous link-ups, it seems like they’re still connected and supporting each other’s art. Whether or not the Internet agrees with the praise is another story. But as KSI and Trippie noted to Official Charts, they have plenty of responses on both ends to balance this. It made them appreciative of the overall reception and performance of the cut.

“I was held hostage to do this,” Trippie Redd joked on social media about his new KSI collab. “If this doesn’t hit 20 million the first month, KSI won’t let me go. Please free me.” We’ll see what’s the next viral hit to receive a Drake cosign, and how the relationship between these three artists continues to develop in the future.

Sidem Ozturk Reveals Why She Moved To Jamaica Before Vybz Kartel Was Released

Sidem Ozturk may have chastised her fiancée when he flirted with fans online, but she’s still very dedicated to Vybz Kartel. Moreover, she recently joined Gucci Mane’s wife Keyshia Ka’oir for a new interview, during which Ka’oir asked Ozturk why she moved to Jamaica even before Kartel was released from prison. As you can see from the clip below, Gucci’s girl was pretty shocked and even perhaps impressed at this show of loyalty.

“I didn’t think about [if Vybz Kartel wouldn’t be released],” Sidem Ozturk revealed. “That was not an option. […] Honestly, [my family] didn’t know at first. *laughs* They didn’t know at first. It was just, like, he asked me to come. And then from there, it was just, how can I say no? And then my family, I’ve never lived apart from my family. So it was a bit – they didn’t really know how deep it was. I didn’t really tell anyone except for my friends how deep it really was. And then, I just, I couldn’t say no. And I just flew out, and my mom later found out that I flew out for him.

“So you’re persistent,” Keyshia Ka’oir told Sidem Ozturk when she began telling her Vybz Kartel story. “This is what you call faith, guys. Like, you are filled with faith. Like, ‘I’m moving to Jamaica. This is going to be my man, and he’s coming out of prison, and can’t nobody stop me.’” Of course, fans most likely know at this point how much Ozturk and Kartel have professed their love for one another on social media. It’s been quite wholesome to witness, especially when paired up with his return to live performances and releasing more music.

Meanwhile, Vybz Kartel recently gave fans another health update. For those unaware, he suffers from an auto-immune disorder known as Graves’ disease, which has affected his heart condition. The dancehall singer said he’s feeling better and talking to some of the best doctors in Cuba, Jamaica, and St. Vincent. Also, he’s in the process of getting a visa in order to receive more treatment in the United States.

DaBaby Recounts When He Shot An Alleged Trespasser In The Leg

DaBaby recently joined The Breakfast Club for a wide-ranging conversation, where he once again showed off his storytelling skills. Even thought the tale this time around isn’t a particularly fun one to hear, he engagingly recounted a 2022 incident in which he shot an alleged trespasser in the leg at his North Carolina home. The NC MC did not face any charges for this situation due to authorities determining that this was a case of justifiable self-defense. Even though we are plenty of months removed from the situation at this point, it seems like he still remembers a lot of details from that day, and understandably so.

“I chose not to take a n****a life the other day & it felt great. Buddy ain’t deserve to go, I step righteously. Heal up & live my boy! Just don’t bring ya a** back,” DaBaby had expressed about the incident back in April of 2022. As you can see and hear in the clip below, there were a lot of moving parts in this situation, and a lot of different ways in which it could’ve gone differently.

DaBaby Recalls 2022 Alleged Trespassing Incident

Elsewhere, DaBaby is also cleaning up some other violent situations that he’s been in over the past couple of years, although this one isn’t nearly as scary as a shooting. He finally reached a settlement in a battery lawsuit against him from a man who claimed the rapper physically assaulted him while shooting a music video at his home. This debacle began all the way back in 2020, so to hear it’s finally over is actually a bizarre occurrence for die-hard fans. After all, plenty of folks thought that the case stretched out way too far, although that might be why a settlement was the move.

Meanwhile, DaBaby recently released his new mixtape, aptly titled HOW TF IS THIS A MIXTAPE? It’s his first project in two years, and it’s not hard to hear why this classification is appropriate. It’s just an expected albeit solid collection of bangers and jams to feed fans after a while. Hopefully Baby sees more mixtapes in the future and not trespassers.

50 Cent Gets Brutally Honest About Why He Rarely Drops New Music

50 Cent has certainly managed to make a name for himself in the world of hip-hop, but nowadays, the mogul tends to focus on his other endeavors more than he does music. During a recent interview with Earn Your Leisure at Invest Fest, he explained exactly why that is. According to him, he’d have to channel his inner “st*pidity” to write music that fits in with the rest of what’s coming out these days.

Since he believes this is the case, he’s opted to spend more of his time on film production, which he thinks he could make a greater difference with. “If you listen to the music that’s out right now, I have to tap into my st*pid,” he began. “I have to tap into the st*pid side of me to write the right thing when it comes time to write the music.”

50 Cent Claims He’d Have To “Tap Into [His] St*pid” To Fit In With Current Rappers

“This why I haven’t created as much content as I was creating in the past and I started going towards the film production and development of these projects,” 50 Cent continued. “Because I can impact things in a bigger way through that.” While music may not be Fif’s main focus these days, he did tease a musical comeback late last year. He told Evropa 2 in November that he planned to drop a new album after wrapping up his “Final Lap” tour.

At the time, he even compared his life after the tour to Eminem’s. “When I’m not moving around and I’m not touring and doing things, it’s going to permit me to focus on creating music,” he said. “You’ll get a little more of what you get from Dr. Dre and Eminem from me at that point.” What do you think of 50 Cent’s explanation for shifting his focus from music to other endeavors in recent years? Can you blame him or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Chrisean Rock Reveals How Her First Night In Jail Went

Chrisean Rock has seen her fair share of ups and downs in recent months. Over the summer, the new mother was arrested at a hearing for her son’s father, Blueface. She was later transferred to a state prison, and roughly a month later, got to reunite with the one-year-old. Now, she’s sat down with Pastor Jamal Bryant for one of her first interviews since her release.

During their conversation, she opened up about how she felt throughout her first night behind bars, where she sees herself in the future, and more. According to her, she’s on a much better path these days. She says that moving forward, she doesn’t plan on taking part in any self-destructive behavior.

Chrisean Rock Says She Was “At Peace” During First Night In Jail

“I was calm and I was at peace. I didn’t cry, I knew I had to take care of my responsibilities and obligations with my legal and I just asked God for that place to be a spiritual hospital because I felt like I was dragging the Holy Spirit everywhere I went,” she said of her first night in jail. “Doing the most, and the Holy Spirit was grieving and I didn’t have the strength to pull away from things, people, places and things.”

When Chrisean was first released from prison, she told her followers on Instagram Live that she was focused on caring for her son and staying true to her faith. This lines up with what she told Bryant. When asked where she sees herself in five years, she told him “Just walking straight in my purity.” What do you think of Chrisean Rock opening up about her first night in jail during a recent interview with Pastor Jamal Bryant?

Janet Jackson Sparks Outrage Online For Her Controversial Kamala Harris Take

A lot of celebrities these days are endorsing either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump for U.S. President, whether their takes are based in actual policy agreements or not. Moreover, it’s been a controversial ride to see what discussions, debates, and combative back-and-forths occur as a result, especially in the hip-hop world. However, outside of that conversation, Janet Jackson recently ruffled a lot of feathers online during her recent interview with The Guardian. In it, the interviewer asked her about the prospect of potentially getting the first female president – and the first Black female president – in United States history.

“Well, you know what they supposedly said?” Janet Jackson asked the interviewer, who had asked the singer this Kamala Harris question due to her own references to social justice and racial equity. “She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.” “Well, she’s both,” the interviewer replied, referencing Harris’ Jamaican father and Kamala’s mother’s view of her as a Black daughter. “Her father’s white,” Janet responded. “That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

Janet Jackson’s Thoughts On Kamala Harris

Then, the interviewer asked Janet Jackson whether she thinks that the United States is “ready for [Kamala Harris]” as, if not a Black woman, then as a woman of color. “I don’t know,” she posited. “Honestly, I don’t want to answer that because I really, truthfully, don’t know. I think either way it goes is going to be mayhem.” Of course, this led to a whole variety of reactions from fans who came across this, as they either agree with the Las Vegas concert resident or condemned her assessment of Harris’ racial identity. You can see some of these takes down below.

Elsewhere, Janet Jackson shocked fans recently for much less serious reasons: her relation to a whole lot of celebrities. “[Stevie Wonder is] our cousin. Not a lot of people know that,” she said on BBC Radio 2. “He’s our cousin on my mother’s side. So is Tracy Chapman.” So is Samuel L. Jackson, apparently. Talent runs in the family…

Young Thug Seemingly Calls Mariah The Scientist Mid-Interview, But Fans Are Skeptical

Mariah The Scientist and Latto spilled some relationship tea on both ends during their appearance-slash-interview on Angel Reese’s podcast. However, one of the most notable moments of the whole thing was when they seemingly manifested the guest appearance of one of the boos in question. Moreover, Young Thug apparently called Mariah from prison mid-conversation. While it was a wholesome moment – albeit a “ghetto” one according to the singer – some fans in the comments section of the post below (and online in general) expressed skepticism over their relationship and what their bond is actually like. Also, they took the opportunity to offer their unprompted views of their bond.

Nevertheless here’s what Mariah The Scientist had to say about Young Thug during this podcast appearance. “So, I be going to court…” she remarked when asked if she finds it hard to connect with him amid his RICO case, acknowledging that it can feel like a long-distance relationship. “Sometimes I fall asleep in there. But I just go to [breathe] his air. […] He’s been locked up now for longer than we was in a relationship before he got locked up.”

Mariah The Scientist Gets A Call From Young Thug

“FYI, I see what y’all be saying…” Mariah The Scientist elaborated in a Shade Room comments section when their post about her comments had folks criticizing their relationship. “Nobody wakes up and hopes to have to see somebody they love in court or at a jail every day. Just chill on the judgement. Maybe u would understand if u were in my shoes but I won’t wish that on you. In fact, I’m very optimistic for my own situation.” However, a lot of fans raised their eyebrows recently when a random woman posted a very loving tribute to Thugger online, which led them to believe that he’s got a side chick.

Still, Young Thug did post Mariah The Scientist on Instagram in a pretty lustful way shortly after this speculation broke, so it seems like he wanted to make his commitment clear. As for their relationship dynamics, who are we to judge? All we can hope for is that his legal situation clears up and continues to develop in a fair and speedy manner.

Yung Miami Wants To Know About Rick Ross’ Sex Life On “Caresha Please”

On Yung Miami’s latest episode of her Caresha Please podcast, she got into a whole lot of topics with Rick Ross. They discussed his Drake beef, his Vancouver fight with OVO fans, plastic surgery, career moves, and much more. But one of the more unexpected and salacious topics emerged when the former City Girl asked the Maybach Music Group mogul about his sex life. However, it wasn’t all lewd, as they also talked about what dates he typically likes to go on. But things quickly turned more explicit when Miami asked about Ross’ endurance in the bedroom.

“I’m extremely hyperactive,” Rick Ross stated. “So if it’s one of those nights and she one of those people that really inspire me – she’s extremely sexy, beautiful and not only that, we connect on that level? That’s too easy. We could do that all night. [Rounds?] Why not? [It could be back to back] but we got the joint, we drinking, we vibing. Let’s change the channel, let’s put on another show but right now, we still in the mix of the vibe.”

Rick Ross On Caresha Please

The bedroom and dating conversation begins at around the 28:40-minute mark.

“Nah, I’m not going to say it’s business,” Rick Ross replied when Yung Miami asked if the possibly reconcilable Drake beef was about money or if it was personal. “He mentioned my name and that’s a no-no. Don’t do that. Especially when it ain’t about no real s**t. […] I enjoy that I can wake up every day and say BBL Drizzy or some more s**t while I’m smoking a joint, listening to the waterfalls and all that s**t, looking at the birds fly off. That s**t easy for me, but is everybody built for this? It most definitely could be a real thing.”

“We got our paper, we got to the jet and, as a matter of fact, we went and had some Wingstop, so that was light work,” Rick Ross said of the aftermath of the Vancouver fight. “I ain’t even tripping ’cause like, I told them, ‘Y’all n***as did that like a G. Everybody got to the crib. That’s what it’s about.’ […] We had a conversation. ‘Let’s get back to the money.’ All my homies that usually travel with me, them the n***as that was upset. They was more upset than us.”

Doechii Reveals Why She’s Not Ready To Collaborate With Kendrick Lamar

Doechii recently unleashed her new project Alligator Bites Never Heal, which has earned her a great deal of praise from fans and peers alike. TDE’s Top Dawg was even quick to compare her to Kendrick Lamar, claiming that the mixtape evokes similar feelings in him that he did in his early days. “@doechii Alligator Bites Never Heal out now !! What are your thoughts & standouts so far ? I have the same feeling I had when KDOT dropped Section 80,” he wrote on Instagram. “She’s 1 of those ones 4sho !!!! #TDE20 #TimelessClassicMusic.”

Of course, this prompted supporters to demand a collab. During her recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, Doechii confirmed that she’s more than open to one. According to her, however, she’s not quite ready yet.

Doechii Says She Doesn’t Have The Right Record Yet

“I’ma say this. I don’t assume anything and I also don’t feel entitled to a Kendrick feature,” she said when asked whether or not she “expected” a verse from Kendrick. “But I would absolutely love that. That’s the goal. I’m sure that like, for my debut project, eventually I’m gonna ask Top if he could ask Kendrick, or ask Kendrick myself and see what comes from that.” Doechii continued, revealing that she doesn’t feel like she has the right record yet. She says she wants to approach the collab a certain way, which she’s not prepared for at this point.

“I’ma be real. I don’t think I have the record right now for that opportunity. I think I would have to come a certain way and I don’t think I’m ready for that,” she explained. Fortunately, it appears as though fans won’t have to wait too much longer to hear them on the same track.

In the teaser, Yung Miami asks Ross about getting jumped by Drake fans in Vancouver, rumors that he’s on Ozempic, accusing Drake of getting a BBL, and more. She even asks him whether or not he’s still sleeping with the mother of one of his kids, Tia Kemp. For obvious reasons, fans can’t wait to hear what Rozay has to say. It’s not the only exciting episode she has on the way, however. At the end of last month, she hopped online to propose an interview with DJ Akademiks, who she’s been at odds with for months.

She’s also gearing up to drop another interview with Boosie Badazz, which is sure to be full of interesting moments.
