Nardo Wick’s Brother Reportedly Enters Insanity Plea Over Florida Burglary

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nardo Wick and his family are in a tough situation right now following his brother Hayward Biggins’ arrest for attempted burglary back in March. Moreover, Ring camera footage below is what allegedly identified Nardo’s brother as the shooter in this incident. While the rapper had nothing to do with this incident, his community still expressed outrage, as this burglary apparently took place near his home. Nevertheless, Biggins and his legal team reportedly filed for an insanity plea in this situation, which means that he seeks mental help in recovering from this incident but doesn’t think that he’s directly responsible or accountable for it given his struggles.

However, this isn’t the only contentious and dangerous situation involving one of Nardo Wick’s close associates these days. For example, some members of his entourage apparently beat up a young fan when he tried to ask for a picture, which drew a lot of controversy online. Many debated whether or not this was a proper response, and most people agreed that Nardo’s team took this way too far in this incident. Still, this is another situation that the Jacksonville MC had nothing to do with, and he quickly spoke out about this fan.

Nardo Wick’s Brother Shoots At A Door In Ring Footage

“I don’t condone what happened to my fan George after my show in any type of way,” Nardo Wick expressed on social media. “I expressed to him and his momma how sorry and concerned I am that it happened to him multiple times before anything [hit] the internet. And I sent his mama my number instantly the night it happened. And I was even gone make a post to find out who he was before his mama text me. I can’t control another grown man actions. I aint know that was gone happen and I was mad when it happened.”

At least those responsible turned themselves in for the attack, so it’s clear that they understood that something was very wrong here. Regardless, we’ll see whether a similar situation happened with this shooting case’s insanity plea and whether Nardo Wick will speak out about it again. In any case, hopefully these situations resolve themselves sooner rather than later for the sake of everyone involved.

Drake’s “Take Care” Further Solidifies Classic Status With Jaw-Dropping Milestone

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake must have put something in his 2011 album Take Care because fans can still not get enough of it. The album will turn 13 on November 15 but it feels like it’s hardly aged and this new milestone proves that. According to a repost from djakademikstv, Chart Data has discovered that the sophomore record has now spent 600 weeks on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. This makes it just the ninth LP to do so, ironically tailing just behind Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city. Some fans made the effort to point that out in the comments section. “good kid mad city is higher on billboard right now”, one IG user replied.

However, there were a lot of hip-hop fans appreciating the greatness of Drake and Take Care. One floored person writes, “Do yall realize how crazy this is….. 12 YEARS on the charts bro, that is actually insane”. “Absolute classic!!”, another simply states. There were also people reminiscing on why this project means so much to them. “This one right here can never leave #1 for me just the nostalgia alone… like the ending of “Look What You Done” still puts a tear in my eye today … it was just a different time”.

Times certainly are different now for Drizzy, as it seems the whole industry is essentially turning on him. The beef with Kendrick really has shifted things in terms of how people view him. However, just like Take Care, Drake can never truly be forgotten for good. He does have some things in the works post battle, and it will be interesting to see how he handles each step moving forward.

What are your thoughts on Drake’s Take Care spending 600 weeks on the Billboard Hot 200 chart? Is this his best project, why or why not? How often do you revisit the album and what songs do you bump the most? 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 Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Ice Cube Slammed For His Resurfaced Stance On Voting As 2024 Election Cycle Heats Up

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Cube is getting slammed on social media for his past comments on voting. The backlash appears to be in response to a resurfaced video of Cube rebuking the idea of voting for the Democratic party without demanding action in exchange for doing so. He originally posted it on social media in September 2020.

“Ice Cube is out here telling people not to vote again,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote over the weekend. “While he sits in his million dollar mansion and Black folks in the south are getting kicked off their Medicaid.” Another added: “Ice Cube is estimated to be worth $160M, he can’t comprehend why people with diabetes are living better lives under the Biden Administration or why people need their medicaid, Medicare, social security. Living in a wealthy gated community has damaged this man head from reality.”

Ice Cube Performs At ESSENCE Festival Of Culture

Cube eventually addressed one of the complaints on X. “I’m not in bed with none of these clowns,” he wrote. “So go get another booster shot and stfu…” One user fired back in the replies: “You’re a f*cking sellout. Plain and simple. F*ck you for that. All that “gangsta“ sh*t but you’re basically Trumps b*tch!”

Ice Cube Fires Back

Cube previously made headlines for rejecting a call with Kamala Harris back in 2020 while she was running to be Joe Biden’s Vice President. “We had spent a lot of people’s time putting the contract with Black America together, and I just thought that getting on a Zoom call with 12 other entertainers all shooting what they believe needs to be done, to me wasn’t going to be productive,” he told Fox Soul’s Cocktails with Queens at the time. Check out his latest political post below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Ice Cube and the 2024 Presidential Election on HotNewHipHop.

Ex-Yeezy Designer Claims Kanye West Has “Lost His Mind” And Works With “Toxic Losers”

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is still rolling VULTURES out with Ty Dolla $ign, but he’s also dealing with a media firestorm that has raged on for years now. For example, one of the many consequences of his antisemitic rants was the end of his Yeezy parternship with Adidas in 2022, one that famous sneaker designer Steven Smith helped broker all the way back in 2016. But it seems like that ship has also sailed. Moreover, new reports emerged that Ye fired Smith in early August of this year, and Smith spoke to Fast Company about this development. They described him as “a sensitive defender of Ye and, in particular, the treatment of his mental health.”

“He’s lost his mind,” Steven Smith said of Kanye West, which definitely indicates that he’s no longer as sympathetic as the publication suggested. “The whole of Yeezy is circling the drain and this is just part of it. He has surrounded himself with toxic, C-grade losers. […] I’m in a very happy place with it all. I will certainly be a priceless asset to whoever I work with next. It’s all his loss and the result of his foolishness.”

Kanye West & Steven Smith At The Fast Company Innovation Festival In 2019

Furthermore, Kanye West has apparently also blocked Steven Smith on Instagram, but Smith didn’t really elaborate on why Ye fired him, or if this is actually how things went down. After all, Fast Company claims that Smith “reached a breaking point” when the Chicago artist tried and failed to launch a porn company. But it’s difficult to identify exactly what caused the breakdown of their relationship, mostly because the heaps of controversy over the past few years leave a lot of options on the table.

Meanwhile, other Kanye West antics these days involve the arrest of a woman who claims he telepathically ordered her to steal a car. Whether it’s the zaniest of zany headlines or legitimately disturbing sexual harassment accusations, there’s a lot to unpack. Sadly, things haven’t really gotten any easier to deal with as of late. We just have to wait and see what happens next in the saga of Ye, and hope that there are brighter days to come.

Lil Durk Hints At New Music Coming Soon While Throwing Subliminals

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Durk has a couple of things to get off his chest, according to some reposts from DJ Akademiks. Let’s start off with the more recent series of statements first. The Chicago rapper and singer seems to be taking some subliminal shots at either people he knows or contemporaries and did so via an Instagram story. The Voice writes, “When brothers speak bad bout brothers I cut em off I don’t even bother to ask questions we know who real and who fake some people won’t change”.

Then, a little bit later, Lil Durk uploaded a collage to the IG feed. This time, the veteran is getting a little more direct with his words. The caption says, “Back in 2012 they counted me out I had to turn up a notch!!!!! This album for the core ”. In regard to his first thought dump, this is nothing new from the drill artist. All you have to do is peruse through his IG page to see that he does something similar every other week.

Lil Durk Has Dropped Some Singles This Year Already

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

So, we aren’t going to look to deep into that. Instead, what we are going to focus our attention on is the “album for the core” part. Durk has not been dropping a ton this year, but two of his singles seem to be for the upcoming Love Songs 4 the Streets 3. This would be his ninth studio album, and the third in this more melodic series of projects for him. “Smurk Carter”, “Old Days”, and “Went Hollywood For A Year” look to be prime candidates for LS4TS3. However, the release date and all of the other important details are currently unknown.

What are your thoughts on Lil Durk’s cryptic message and him teasing new music? Do you think the Chicago MC receives too much hate online, why or why not? Have you been enjoying his features and singles this year? 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 Lil Durk. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Mase Proves His Rapping Skills Haven’t Faded With Impressive New Freestyle

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mase and Cam’ron made their return to their It Is What It Is sports talk show recently, but don’t think that this new endeavor took away their rapping skills. Moreover, the former came through with an impressive new freestyle, and you can see how people loved it in the replies of the post below. It goes to show that these two New York lyricists still have that spark in them after all these years, even if many see them as missing their peak powers these days. We wonder if they will engage with more musical material in the near future, as it’s always a treat when they can cross things over and show off multiple skills at once.

Furthermore, they already received a lot of acclaim for their dynamism on It Is What It Is and for their vast sports knowledge. But Mase isn’t the only one who can turn things into a lyrical onslaught, as Cam’ron has also barred up on some previous episodes, too. Either way, we’re sure that they will have a lot of great content to share and a lot more talent to show off. Maybe they could even have a battle one day centered around a sports debate topic…

Mase’s New Freestyle

Wishful thinking aside, we’re sure that Cam’ron and Mase will tell many more stories on It Is What It Is. One recent recollection concerned the latter’s claims that Big L once set him up for a robbery. “Me and L start talking and the conversation goes super left, you know,” he recalled. “Next thing I know, I’m in The Tunnel [a nightclub] and the n***a Fat Joe comes up to me. A couple months later, we get into it about something. I think it was over a chick or something. I get around the corner on 140th and I walk up 140th on seventh to 141st and a Spanish n***a just run outta nowhere like, ‘Give it up. I’ma kill both of y’all n***as.’”

Meanwhile, apart from his and Mase’s tales on their show, Cam’ron also shares stories via Instagram. “Now they lock two of my n***as up, I start talking s**t,” he said of a tour situation in which police raided the Dipset bus. “‘I don’t care what the bail is, I’m bailing n***as out.’ The bail was $4.8 million. Oh my God, I was sick. But I bailed n***as out, though, and everybody was good. Peace.”

50 Cent Taunts Dame Dash While Listing His Grievances With The Roc-A-Fella Co-Founder

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent says that Dame Dash is out of money and trolled him for his alleged reaction to him signing with Eminem and Dr. Dre back in the day while speaking on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. He told Gillie Da Kid and Wallo that Dame scoffed at his $1 million offer from Interscope/Aftermath/Shady in 2002 and now is plagued by financial woes.

“The only person that pointed out that a million dollars was no money was Damon Dash, and he has no money now,” 50 said. “‘That ain’t no money. After you get a watch, a chain, you look out for the homies and you do this, that and the third… it’s nothing.’ And I was like, ‘N***a, I’m from 134th Street. A million dollars is a lot of money.’ I’m thinking I hit the lotto! How you gonna say it’s no money? I just never forgot that because of how it felt.”

Dame Dash has spoken publically about his recent financial troubles and is auctioning off his one-third ownership share in Roc-A-Fella. He needs to cover a lawsuit judgment stemming from a failed film partnership with producer Josh Webber. He also allegedly owes $197,000 in child support and nearly $9 million in taxes. The minimum bid for his Roc-A-Fella share is $1.2 million. He’s previously suggested that Kendrick Lamar pick up the stake in the iconic company.

50 Cent Speaks On Dame Dash’s Financial Woes

The sale of the Roc-A-Fella share has worsened his relationship with JAY-Z, who has attempted to block the move. Check out 50’s full comments on Dame Dash and his money below. Be on the lookout for further updates on 50 Cent and Dame Dash on HotNewHipHop.
