Bobbi Althoff & Saweetie Seemingly Tease An Interview Together

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Thanks to a recent social media tease in which Saweetie and Bobbi Althoff put together some awkward dance moves in front of a pool to the former’s new anticipated single, a lot of folks think that they could have an interview on the way. Moreover, it would follow a lot of the usual hype-up for an Althoff sit-down, and the link-up seems a little too out of the blue to not involve something grander. Still, maybe they are just really getting along and wanted to show themselves having some fun online, and that wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. We’ll see if there are similar talking points or contentious moments that result of this hypothetical conversation like the ones that have came up in the past.

Furthermore, Bobbi Althoff’s interviews lean towards slight awkwardness in the public eye given her comedic style, and as of late, they inspired a lot more debate such as her viral “I’m not a musician” moment with Sukihana. Perhaps a convo with Saweetie will hold another miscommunication instance like this, although we’re sure that it would still be an entertaining one to witness even if it’s a completely normal and chilled-out sit-down. But for all our theorizing, there’s no official announcement. So we’ll see what pans out in the near future.

Saweetie & Bobbi Althoff Might Be Hinting At Interview Together

In fact, for Saweetie in particular, she has a lot that she could talk about and address. For one, there’s the aforementioned teased track that’s apparently titled “Nani” that should be coming out very soon. But on a more tantalizing and scandalous note, the Los Angeles MC also came up in the beef between her ex Quavo and Chris Brown, who claimed that he slept with her while they were still together. It seems like she’s had more to chastise the former Migo for than Breezy, but we’ll see if this stays the same or if she has some extra bars on her next song.

Meanwhile, do you think this interview is actually happening or is this just a random social media post? Do you think the Althoff or the Icy Girl are going to talk about the rumors and statements other people made on their behalf these days? Whatever your theories are, let us know how you think they’ll respond to it down in the comments section below.

Julia Fox Reveals Why Kanye West Fling Left A “Sour” Taste In Her Mouth

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Julia Fox is known for her breakout role in Uncut Gems, being a fashion icon, and authoring a New York Times best-selling memoir. She even recently unveiled her debut single “Down The Drain,” trying her hand at yet another endeavor. Oftentimes, however, the Renaissance woman’s short-lived fling with Kanye West overshadows it all.

During a recent interview with InStyle, Fox reflected on the whirlwind romance, revealing that it’s put her off from dating anybody else in the industry. “I mean, I think we all know what it is,” she said when asked what public opinion about herself she just can’t shake. “Dating that man for a month—one month. And that’s why I have such a sour taste in my mouth about dating anyone in this sphere. Because I don’t ever want to just be known as someone’s girlfriend. I know I’m so much more than that.”

Julia Fox Wants To Break The Mold

“And I feel like that happens so much to women in this industry,” Fox continued. “They’re only as good as their partner or they can make a whole career off being some guy’s partner. But regardless, either way, it becomes their identity. And I feel like I have to transcend that, and I want to break that mold, and I want to just stand on my own two feet and not need a man to back me. I did that for years. I’m good. I have established myself, and I want to keep establishing myself. And maybe one day I’ll even be taken seriously.”

What do you think of Julia Fox claiming that her short-lived relationship with Kanye West left a “sour” taste in her mouth? What about her claim that women in the industry’s relationships often inadvertently become their identities? Do you agree with her?

Kanye West Likens Himself To God, Amazes Justin LaBoy In The Process

April 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has made some interesting comments in the past. Overall, being provocative has always kind of been his thing. Although some find it to be a bit annoying and concerning, he continues to do his own thing. From anti-semitism to delusions of grandeur, Ye has done and said it all. However, there are some statements that fans simply cannot help but roll their eyes at. During a recent interview with Justin LaBoy, Ye ended up giving us plenty of those moments.

This interview made waves for a few reasons. Of course, there were plenty of disses sent towards J. Cole and Drake. Moreover, Ye spoke about the recent sexual assault that involved his wife, Bianca Censori. That said, there is one instance in the interview where Kanye made some bizarre comments about being like God. In fact, Ye stated that he is God and that he is the head of the Kingdom. This got a laugh and a hearty “wow” from Justin LaBoy who pretty well sat back and agreed with every single thing Ye had to say. Fans even commented on how the media personality is coming across like a “yes man.”

Justin LaBoy Agrees With Everything Kanye West Says

On Akademiks’ Twitter page, some were upset with Ye and his new way of thinking about things. “As a day 1 Kanye fan, I’m very disappointed. This is the result of being surrounded by Yes men like JustinLaBoy,” one fan wrote. “This the same man who was having a mental breakdown because he got some purple emojis sent his way,” said another. Needless to say, calling yourself God is not a good way to get into the good graces of your fans.

Let us know what you think of these comments from Kanye West, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that he is doing too much by making these kinds of proclamations? What do you think of Justin LaBoy and his interview style? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Kanye West Explains Why Lil Durk “Broke His Heart” & Fell Out With Him

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s new interview on Justin LaBoy’s The Download podcast contained a whole lot of scandalous, bizarre, or interesting revelations. We could talk about the “Like That” remix he premiered, his lewd obsession with Michelle Obama, the alleged assault investigation against him after Bianca Censori was allegedly sexually assaulted… it’s a doozy. However, something that folks probably didn’t expect to hear about was that Ye and Lil Durk fell out of favor with each other, or at least, that’s how the Yeezy mogul sees things. They previously collaborated on various cuts, and as two Chicago rappers, some hometown fans likely feel very disappointed by this rift.

“Durk sent in a verse and he said, ‘Take my Yeezy shirt off and make it a doormat,’” Kanye West claimed of Lil Durk. “He said it four times. I hit him up and said, ‘You’re breaking my heart. Who told you to do this?’ I’m like, ‘Man, this is bad for the city. Who told you to do this?’ It’s like when J. Cole did the diss track or whatever. You got Drake, he’s really paid to come at my neck. But it’s another thing for somebody like that to come around you. It’s the whole friends [and] enemies talk.

Kanye West Speaks On Lil Durk: Watch

“He must have never really liked me,” Kanye West went on concerning Lil Durk. I don’t know exactly what it is. I spoke to this man a few times about the line and then he changed the line to: ‘I take my Yeezy hat off and give my lil’ h*e that.’ And I’m just like, ‘Why y’all think y’all can play with me?’” It seems like he might be referring to a leaked track off an upcoming VULTURES volume, “Field Trip,” which also reportedly features Playboi Carti and Kodak Black.

Meanwhile, the “PROBLEMATIC” creative also expressed that these lyrics hurt him more than Drake taking Smurk on tour during the VULTURES 1 rollout. “And it’s f**k Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role [sic] out I’ll come back to yall if I think of more f**k you’s,” he had ranted on Instagram. These issues between these former partners could extend to them removing each other’s contributions off of their respective most recent albums, or perhaps some disagreements over label contracts. All of that, though, is purely speculative. Nevertheless, for more news and the latest updates on Kanye West and Lil Durk, keep checking in with HNHH.

Latto Opens Up On Which Of Her Hits Was The Easiest To Write

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. Her list wasn’t all that controversial including Lil Kim and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez but it was the third entry that got people’s attention. She refused to say the final rapper on her list by name, leading many to believe that she was talking about Nicki Minaj.

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.

Vince Staples Hints At New Album Before Tour This Summer

April 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vince Staples may be hot off the heels of his new acclaimed Netflix show, but it looks like he’s also transferring that run in the studio. Moreover, during a recent interview with Big Boy, he spoke on his plans to put out another body of work before his upcoming European summer tour. “I’m working, I’m close,” the rapper and entertainer remarked when asked about new music plans. “I’m trying to put something out. I got Europe in June, so I’m going to try to put something out before I go out there.” “Yeah, for sure,” he answered when the iconic radio host asked whether he’d drop this new material before he goes on his trek across the Atlantic.

However, if you’re on the Long Beach native’s side of the Atlantic and can’t make these shows, don’t fret. He’s got a couple of American performances on the schedule, such as Lollapalooza in Chicago in August and Jack Harlow’s Gazebo Music Festival in Kentucky this May. For this European trek, titled the Black In Europa tour and marking his first headlining tour in five years, Vince Staples will hit up cities from June 4 to June 15. Specifically, in chronological order, he’s set to perform at Cologne and Berlin in Germany, Paris, London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Barcelona.

Vince Staples’ Newest Big Boy Interview: Watch

Their conversation concerning new music starts at around the 18:25-minute mark of the video above.

In addition, this follows the “ARE YOU WITH THAT?” multi-hyphenate’s efforts to promote some other highly anticipated new music from his fellow Los Angeles spitter. He previewed and praised ScHoolboy Q’s new album BLUE LIPS before it dropped earlier this year, and while they unfortunately didn’t collaborate, it’s great to see this bond between artists working in the same field. Surely Q will return the favor when Vince Staples rolls out his next full-length effort. Either way, we don’t need anyone to tell us that he’s likely coming through with some serious heat.

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old might take up another title to add to his resume: NBA Commissioner for a day. He had some hilarious suggestions for the league during his recent appearance on Paul George’s podcast. It just goes to show that Vince Staples is always thinking about how to make things better and of deserved quality for fans, a commitment that his music will surely continue to champion. For more news and the latest updates on him, stick around on HNHH.

Who Is Sexyy Red’s Baby Daddy? She’ll Never Tell For This Very Simple Reason

March 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red’s baby daddy’s identity has been a pretty hot topic of debate and speculation, especially given her references to it in her music and career. For example, many of her recent music videos and lyrical references in new and past material point to this interest. However, there’s a very simple reason as to why the St. Louis rapper won’t say who it is, and she told Billboard why after her Rolling Loud L.A. set. “‘Cause I don’t need anyone in my business,” she answered a question about why she doesn’t want to reveal who her baby daddy is. “Like, why you want to be so nosy? Mind your f***ing business.”

Moreover, the 25-year-old welcomed her second child into the world not too long ago, and maternity photos as a couple would’ve spoiled the baby daddy’s identity if it wasn’t for some blurring effects. Also, she spoke on what it was like to hide her pregnancy during her time touring with Drake. “When nobody knew I was pregnant, I’d be in the back room, like, trying to suck my stomach in,” Sexyy Red shared recently. “Or wear clothes to show that I wasn’t pregnant.

“And I had to practice my breathing,” Sexyy Red continued. “Like, before I’d go on stage, I had to hold my stomach in and look at myself and be like, ‘Can they tell?’ Once I just was like, ‘Okay I can’t keep hiding it ’cause it hurt to just be on stage all day holding your stomach in.’ So I’m like, ‘Just forget about it.’ I was pregnant on the Drake tour and the Moneybagg tour but nobody knew. People started suspecting it on the Drake tour because there was videos and pictures of me coming out. That’s the only reason I was hiding it because I just wanted me and my family and friends to know.”

Meanwhile, there are also other, more scandalous, and less compelling reasons to be interested in the “SkeeYee” hitmaker’s romantic life. After all, popular streamer Adin Ross recently claimed that they slept together. Her response was pretty hilarious while also being a staunch denial, and we’ll probably keep getting that energy from her throughout 2024. For more news and the latest updates on Sexyy Red, keep checking in with HNHH.

March 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dr. Dre’s recent appearance on James Corden’s This Life of Mine… show on SiriusXM held a lot of curious and compelling bits of info, takes, and confessions. For one, it reignited the ever-enduring and always annoying debate of whether Eminem can be considered the best rapper of all time. TL;DR: yes, and if you disagree, that’s equally valid. Move on. Anyways, the N.W.A. producer also revealed a very interesting and quite surprising aspect of his relationship with one of his closes industry peers: Snoop Dogg. The two go way back, yet when it comes to the Long Beach MC’s many business ventures, the mogul Dre steps in to question him.

“I personally think he does too much s**t and we’ve been battling and bumping heads about [it],” Dr. Dre explained to Corden. “Hell yeah I tell him that. I’m always in my big brother mode. I always tell him like, ‘Why the f**k are you doing this and that? Come on.’ He’s like, ‘Let me live, Dr. Dre, cuz. Let me do my thing, man. Do I bother you about the s**t you doing, cuz?’ So we have our -– I call it sibling rivalries and s**t like that -– but I would love it if he’d just focus on this thing and make sure this thing right here that we’re working on is the best that it can be.“

Elsewhere in the interview, Dr. Dre also spoke on having a brain aneurysm back in 2021. “It definitely makes you appreciate being alive, that’s for sure,” he recalled. “It’s something you can’t control, it just happens. During those two weeks, I had three strokes. I got up and went about my day, and I thought I could lay down and take a nap. My son and a female friend were like, ‘No, we need to take you to the hospital.’ Next thing you know, I’m blacking out, I’m in and out of consciousness and I end up in the ICU.

“I was there for two weeks,” the Aftermath boss went on. “I’m hearing doctors come in [and saying] ‘You don’t know how lucky you are.’ I asked questions about what I could’ve done to prevent this. No one could give me an answer.” Fortunately, Dr. Dre overcame this moment of his life, and now he and Snoop Dogg can go on to do more great things. For more news and the latest updates on the duo, check back in with HNHH.

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Coi Leray has certainly come a long way since her rise to fame, and according to her, it’s all been intentional. During a recent interview with Forbes, the hitmaker chatted about how she keeps herself grounded amid her success and constantly strives to become a better version of herself. She revealed that aside from keeping people around who hold her accountable, she always pushes herself to improve.

“I have great intentions,” she began. “And I know that at the end of the day, if I just pushed myself to focus on becoming a better me whether it’s in my tone, my delivery, my attitude, my routine of waking up in the morning, waking up earlier, going to church every Sunday, writing in my journal, that’s how I got to this place now.“

“I’m blessed to also have such amazing people in my life to keep me levelheaded,” she also added. “So I’ll call them and be like ‘yo’ and if I’m in a place where I say something or do something, they’ll check me. They’ll check me in a way where they’ll be ‘you should have approached it in this way, you could have handled it like this’ and you know what, you’re right.” Fortunately, this approach also allows Coi to remain cool, calm, and collected even in the face of adversity. Last week, for example, she weighed in on the newly passed TikTok ban bill and didn’t seem concerned at all.

“TikTok is not a streaming platform,” she told Twitter/X followers. “And I never looked at it as one. I’m not worried. As long as you don’t take away Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud, Tidal, [Audiomack], YouTube Music, Amazon Music, I’m good. Music and the love I have for it, is forever.” What do you think of Coi Leray sharing how she’s working on becoming a better version of herself? Are you inspired?

Cardi B Speaks On Her Real Net Worth & Her Issues With Making Music Today

March 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B’s on quite the press run recently, as it looks like she will finally drop her long-awaited sophomore studio album sometime soon. After all, she’s dropped a couple of singles, high-profile features, and remixes in the last few months, most recently of which was the track “Enough (Miami).” But the Bronx superstar also has a lot to look back on when it comes to her career, and a lot of explaining to do when it comes to her relationship with music. Moreover, during a recent interview on 360 With Speedy, she reflected on her financial success and what her issues are with music today. “Uh… Jesus Christ,” the 31-year-old answered when asked about whether her reported $80 million net worth is accurate. “I made a lot of money, I made a lot of money.

“I feel like I’ve actually passed almost doing $80 million,” Cardi B went on. “Like, I make a lot of money, I make a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of money. But I also got a lot, a lot of bills. Like you said, your family, right? I take care of all these -– I’m helping a lot, I’m not gonna say I take care. I help a lot of my friends and I help a lot of my family and everything. I have no choice [but to help]. How can I say no and I’m buying Birkins? I don’t like [helping] when I feel like they’re playing with me. Because it’s like, ‘Alright, if you’re so broke, if you’re really going through some s**t, I just seen you outside.’ I remember when I was broke, I was never outside.

“Like, I just seen you buy some designers,” Cardi B continued. “Even when I was a stripper and I had times that I struggled, I was not buying none of that s**t. So it’s just like, when I feel like I’m being played with, it’s like, ‘Alright… Don’t play with it.’ No, [I don’t say no]. Barely. Sometimes, it’s like… that s**t don’t make no sense.” “I have a couple of problems with music,” she added later in the conversation. “I feel like I don’t like nothing. That’s one of my things. Because I record a song, I love it, two days later, I’m over it. To be honest with you, I don’t really like anything that’s out right now. I listen to music that came out 8, 10, 20, 30 years ago.

“Maybe I’m just so into breaking things down now,” Bardi shared. “You know, where you overanalyze everything, your music and other people’s music, that I don’t know what I like anymore. Also, it’s just not as fun anymore. Like, when you go to the booth, or when you record, you’re just having fun, you creating. Now, it just be feeling like it’s a pressure. When I did… I call it ‘C**ty,’ because we named it ‘C**ty’ originally. I was having fun, I had fun recording it, I had fun doing the video. When it came out, Jesus Christ, I was like, ‘Damn! Hold up, I just came back, y’alls going too rough on me!’ I gotta get that off my mind because that’s what f**ks s**t up.” For more on Cardi B, stay up to date on HNHH.
