Big Sean Says Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar Biting Accusations Are Misleading

by

Big Sean’s new album Better Me Than You was a tender and impressive album, but it also held a few controversies and debatable qualities. Chief among them for many hip-hop fans online was the track “Yes,” which many people felt bit off of the vocal style of Baby Keem. Moreover, the Detroit MC was quick to subliminally respond to this online… Or at least, that’s what many fans interpreted when they saw this tweet: “Must not be familiar with my game.” During a new cover story with XXL, the Sean Don spoke directly about these accusations and this discussion. While he has a very understanding perspective, he also knows what the truth is.

“I saw a little bit of the conversation when the ‘Yes’ video dropped,” Big Sean expressed. “About like, ‘Oh, he’s trying to sound like him,’ or, ‘He’s trying to sound like Kendrick’ or, ‘He’s trying to sound like Baby Keem,’ or, ‘He’s trying to sound like…’ who knows? And I was kind of confused personally by it, but then when I did some research, I was like, ‘Oh, I see that.’

“But also I’ve been doing that since 2014, you know what I’m saying?” Big Sean posited. “Since even on a Drake clip that he posted, [where I’m rapping], ‘H*e, shut the f**k up,’ It’s really them flows or that ‘Paradise (Extended)’ that I literally listened to when I was making that stuff for… So, I can’t really read into it too much. I saw some of it, but I can’t be all up on the internet because that s**t’ll have you f***ed up.” Elsewhere during this interview, he also confirmed previous hints that a joint project with The Alchemist is coming out in the future.

Meanwhile, Big Sean also clarified whether or not he dissed Lil Yachty on the bonus track “Wire Me.” “I wasn’t talking about [Lil Yachty],” he told Complex. “Yachty is on the album as well. On ‘Yes,’ he’s doing ad-libs with me. No, I’m not taking a jab at Yachty. It was like a whole double entendre. If I was referencing him, that would have been a whole other entendre. He was in the studio with me while I was making the album. He actually has a verse on [‘Yes’] too. I might throw it on there later.”

50 Cent Gushes About People Treating Him Like Michael Jackson While On Tour

by

50 Cent didn’t just talk about his celibacy on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert recently. Moreover, he also talked briefly about how his Final Lap touring travels in Kazakhstan in 2023 had him feeling like he was the biggest pop star to ever grace a stage. “It’s unbelievable. They don’t know I’m not Michael Jackson,” Fif told the host. “It was so cool. It was unbelievable, Stephen. They chased the car like I’m Michael Jackson and s**t. It was crazy.”

Elsewhere during their conversation, Rick Ross’ rival also explained what this newfound sexual abstinence has done for him. “When you calm down, you can focus. It’s been good, I’ve been good to me,” 50 Cent shared. “That’s when things start getting complicated. Things start getting confusing because people coming for different reasons,” he said when Colbert asked him about all his earnings and career moves despite not feeding this human urge. “If you go on a date but you have no interest in anything, I can see you now. I said, ‘Goddamn girl, you fine but you ain’t got nothing going on.’” Also, Fif explained that he’s not married, never did marry, and probably never will. “I’m safe, I’m not a happy hostage. I’m free. I’ve made some mistakes, just not that one.”

But these reflections on MJ’s fame and on other life updates usually pale in comparison to 50 Cent’s many beefs. But not all of them have to stay that way. “I didn’t f**k with people because they had already dealt with them,” he said on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game. “The entire beginning of my career I was up against the leverage of Murder Inc. So, my whole beef with Fat Joe was really his loyalty.

“Later we become the best friends, like I really f**k with him,” 50 Cent revealed. “He’s loyal to a default, because he worked with him.” Between that and some issues with Dame Dash, he’s dropped a lot of gems about his various rivalries and friendships. But the G-Unit mogul tasted the feeling of being the King of Pop, and that power is enough to make any man reconsider their lifestyle and allegiances.

YBC Dul Murder: 16-Year-Old Charged With Fatal Shooting

by

Late last month, West Philadelphia rapper YBC Dul was fatally shot in a drive-by. Now, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, an arrest has been made. The outlet reports that 16-year-old Aiden Waters was taken into custody and hit with several charges. These include murder, arson, causing catastrophe, conspiracy, and gun crimes. Authorities say they found Waters’ getaway car the night YBC Dul was shot. It had been burned, but reportedly, detectives were still able to recover evidence inside.

Aside from fatally shooting YBC Dul, Waters is accused of shooting into a car full of teenagers last month, striking two and killing one. For this, he’s been charged with five counts of attempted murder. Police also believe he was responsible for another shooting that took place hours before YBC Dul was murdered. A 43-year-old man and a 14-year-old were shot in the abdomen and leg, respectively, and both survived.

Ralo Blasts Fake Love For Rich Homie Quan

by

The death of Rich Homie Quan shocked the hip-hop world this week. There’s been no shortage of reactions from every corner of the culture, whether it’s from longtime fans, newer listeners, or people who had heard of him thanks to snitching accusations regarding the YSL RICO trial. On this particular note, Ralo is calling out people who accused the late rapper of this behavior but are now praising and showing him love following his death. Both reactions are very understandable and human, but it’s clear that this will be a complicated and tough process of reckoning with past narratives and disagreements.

“I just seen the whole world call the brother #RHQ ah rat and now look smh… FAAAAKKKKEEEE,” Ralo captioned his recent Twitter post blasting this fake love. “This that s**t I be talking about,” he says in the video itself. “Y’all n***as be so fake. The whole world was just calling this man, Rich Homie Quan, a rat. Soon as he die, ‘Oh, that was my friend. I love him.’ Boy, y’all n***as so goddamn fake ’round this motherf***er, man.”

Ralo Speaks On Fake Love For Rich Homie Quan

Meanwhile, this is what Ralo had to say for Rich Homie Quan as a tribute. “Real men have conversations that end conflicts before our lord lay us to rest,” he wrote on Instagram “I appreciate you for being a real man, father and brother in ending our beef before our meeting day with our lord. I will extend my hand to your family for any help they may need. #LLRHQ [broken heart emoji].” For those unaware, the two had a pretty nasty beef dating all the way back to 2016, but they buried the hatchet in 2021.

Days before he passed, Rich Homie Quan sought to have a conversation with Young Thug. “We do have a lot of music that hasn’t been released,” he remarked during an interview. “But who knows what the future holds? First and foremost, it’s free Thugger. It’s free anybody that’s locked up, it’s free Lucci. It’s a touchy situation, so I try not to talk about it a lot. But I don’t know what the future holds, man, you know what I’m saying? I’m willing to have a conversation, and it’ll start from there.”
RIP Rich Homie Quan.

Lil Woody Clowned By Ralo For Impromptu Speech At A Law Class

by

Lil Woody has been enjoying his freedom as a result of his role as a state’s witness in the YSL RICO trial, and this has manifested in bizarre ways. Most recently, he apparently was a guest speaker at a law class. While the clip below doesn’t show what Woody specifically talk about, we can assume that it was almost definitely about this court case. After all, they even previewed some footage from one of his testimonies on the witness stand, as you can see on one of the visible screens in the video. In the comments section of Akademiks’ post below, though, Ralo couldn’t help but mock this. “Like I said he round this bih living it up,” he wrote.

Furthermore, we can assume that Ralo isn’t a big fan of Lil Woody’s testimony, but the former is dealing with other beef at the moment. “You think you just gone go up on me while im in prison can’t fight for myself and when i get out I wasn’t gone say s**t,” he recently ranted against Boosie Badazz during their bizarre social media feud. “Ima delete everything I said off my page for the people, but that conversation is needed fam…”

Elsewhere, Lil Woody recently took a break from all his court antics to pay tribute to Rich Homie Quan amid news of his passing. “RIP,” he wrote on his Instagram Story, posting a picture of RHQ with Young Thug. “I hate this happen I pray that God protect thug and them from this country.” Considering the complicated bond that these Atlanta rap figures shared over the past decade-plus, this is a tragic end with a heartfelt sense of solidarity.

Meanwhile, we’ll see whether or not the Welcome Home rapper has anything else to say about the YSL RICO trial or Lil Woody’s role in it. It’s a very hot topic and one that elicits a lot of scrutiny, especially with all the courtroom firestorms and scandals that pop up on occasion. Maybe Ralo would rather keep quiet and wait for what happens. But we doubt that Woody will do the same, especially as more footage from this law class will surely emerge.

Eminem’s Mother Reportedly Diagnosed With Terminal Illness

by

According to a new report from In Touch Weekly, Eminem’s mother Debbie Mathers is terminally ill following a lung cancer diagnosis. This is still an early story in development with no official confirmation at press time, so take this news with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, according to an alleged source who reportedly spoke to the outlet, “[t]here are not many options [for Debbie]. She is currently staying between the cancer center and with family members. She has a very limited amount of time [left].” Furthermore, the 69-year-old’s superstar son Marshall has taken care of her financially for many years, per this report and alleged source. But they apparently haven’t contacted each other for a long time.

“People around her aren’t even sure if Eminem is even aware of what is happening to his mother,” the alleged source claimed. “He’s good to his mom. He makes sure he takes care of her, but they don’t really talk. It would be good for both of them [to communicate]. This could give them the chance to reconcile.” As you probably already know, the two have had a very complicated relationship over the years.

But this is sadly not Debbie Mathers’ first experience with cancer, as she was previously diagnosed with breast cancer. “I’m still under doctor’s care, which I probably will be for a while,” she told The Village Voice back in 2018. “Basically a lot of the stuff is hereditary, but that happens. Cancers and heart disease and all that, and all the genetic things … I worry about my boys, having high blood pressure and things.”

While the relationship between Eminem and his mother is a rocky one, they always come together at the end of the day. “Marshall, I want to say, I could not let this day go by without congratulating you on your induction into the [Rock and Roll] Hall of Fame,” she told him in 2022. “I love you very much. I knew you’d get there. It’s been a long ride. I’m very, very proud of you. And also I’m very proud of Hailie Jade, my big girl. I want to tell you Hailie, great job on your podcast and God bless you guys. I love you very much.” Our best wishes, hopes, and prayers go out to Debbie Mathers and her family during this difficult time.

Rick Ross Taunts 50 Cent’s Celibacy Remarks With Petty Joke

by

At the start of 2024, 50 Cent and Cuban Link’s relationship seemed to come to a close. The rapper and TV star shared a motivating and pretty revealing post to his Instagram that further confirmed this speculation. “My new idea is so big, I don’t have time to be distracted I’m practicing abstinence, I have been meditating and focusing on my goals. I hope this New Year helps you excel to the next level”. Furthermore, we noticed that there was a shortage of pictures of Fif and Cuban on his social media.

Lastly, we got even more information just yesterday after a clip from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert began to make the rounds. In the interview snippet, Colbert questioned him about his celibacy journey and if that was actually true. Numerous times, 50 Cent said yes, and he’s said that it’s been helping him quite a bit. “When you calm down, you can focus… “It’s been good, I’ve been good to me”.

Of course, though, you know Rick Ross couldn’t not help himself. If there is anything posted about one of his many foes, he’s going to be on top of it. In this instance, he posted in the comments of the clip above with a petty Cuban Link dig. “Cuban Link 💔”, according to AllHipHop. Not surprisingly, this isn’t the first time that Rozay has joked about Fif’s breakup wtih Cuban Link. When video footage of her and Travis Scott made the rounds on the internet, the MMG boss was right there with quick wit. “Many men, many many many many men -50 Cent”. He also added, “”No Louis Vuittons today, no no no. We wearing Travis Scotts all week”.

What are your thoughts on Rick Ross making fun of 50 Cent’s celibacy claims? Do you think he’s being disrespectful or is it funny in your opinion? Will the G-Unit boss respond? 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 Rick Ross and 50 Cent. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

NBA YoungBoy’s 12th Child Revealed As Alleged Baby Mama Speaks Out

by

NBA YoungBoy may be going through some tough legal binds right now, but he must now add some gossip to that equation. Moreover, news broke on Thursday (September 5) that he apparently welcomed his 12th child with a ninth baby mama, who is a woman named Hailey that seems to have confirmed this on social media. Reportedly, the Baton Rouge rapper’s new child is a daughter named Kiori who apparently came into this world last year.

“loud & wrong but carry on ..” YoungBoy’s alleged baby mama Hailey tweeted on Thursday. “def not looking for sympathy. that post was made last year when I was going through ppd & I wasn’t alone. I felt alone b/c of how sick I was during my pregnancy. throwing up everyday was just hard/draining tf. have a good day but stop coming for my character.” “and be f***ing fr leaking my own daughter ?” she added in another tweet. “FOR WHAT ? what would I f***ing gain from that ? if that was the case I would’ve just posted a picture of him holding her / or better yet when she was first born .. like I haven’t known this man for years that’s CRAZYY WORK !!”

NBA YoungBoy Reportedly Welcomes 12th Child: Alleged Baby Mama Speaks Out

As you can see in the posts above, it seems like Hailey is no longer involved with YoungBoy. She apparently was not the one to reveal this information. Furthermore, this whole situation is still a bit murky and without any official confirmation, so take these reports with a grain of salt. YB hasn’t addressed this 12th child at press time, and we doubt that he will considering his current legal troubles. But maybe at some point in the future, he and Hailey will meet up again and he can meet his child. That is, if all the details around this story are true.

Meanwhile, YoungBoy’s 11th child (a complete mystery apart from their mother Drew Valentina) arrived in April of last year. Despite having many children, he’s spoken in the past about how fatherhood is not really his vibe. Maybe the “Matador” MC will have a change of heart down the line, or perhaps his family will grow even more. Either way, we know that it would be a complex situation when accounting for his other endeavors.
