Destroy Lonely Reveals Tracklist For New Album “Love Lasts Forever”

by

Destroy Lonely is on the cusp of dropping something big. The rapper has been teasing his second album, Love Lasts Forever, since February 2022. Destroy Lonely’s profile has risen steadily since, which means the anticipation for a new album is bigger than ever. There was even speculation that established names like Big Sean and A$AP Rocky avoided dropping on the same day as him. Regardless of the truth, the hype is real, and the tracklist for Love Lasts Forever is finally here.

The first thing that jumps out about the tracklist is the length. Love Lasts Forever is not a short album, at 21 songs, but it’s somehow shorter than Destroy Lonely’s debut. There appears to be more of a focus on conciseness. The other notable thing about the tracklist is that there are very few features. It’s generally assumed that any high profile hip hop release is going to be loaded with guests. No Lonely’s. Destroy Lonely held down his massive debut all by himself, with only a Ken Carson assist on the deluxe version. It seems like he’s going to keep it simple again on Love Lasts Forever. The only two features will be Carson and Lil Uzi Vert.

Are you looking forward to hearing Destroy Lonely’s upcoming album? What do you think of the tracklist so far? Which feature are you most excited about? How are you liking his new track? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

DJ Akademiks Reveals Why NBA YoungBoy Was Arrested By SWAT Team

by

Earlier this year, NBA YoungBoy was arrested at his Utah home for his role in an alleged prescription drug fraud scheme. He’s been behind bars ever since, and reportedly, could be looking at a lengthy prison sentence. At the time of his arrest, YB was already on house arrest, awaiting trial for a federal weapons charge.

Last week, the rapper was hit with yet another gun charge after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. “I wish to plead guilty to the offense charged, to consent to the disposition of the case in the District of Utah in which I am present and to wave trial in the [Middle District of Louisiana],” his court filing read. His next court hearing is scheduled for September 4.

During a recent livestream, DJ Akademiks discussed NBA YoungBoy’s ongoing legal issues, going back to his April arrest. According to the personality, a SWAT team was sent to arrest the 24-year-old. He claims this is because authorities thought they could be in for a fight. “Remember I told you, he got a militia up there, right?” Akademiks explained. “When they to go arrest him, they had to go with SWAT. All type of agencies because, again, not that this would happen, but technically, YB had enough firepower on that God damn mountain to do a nice ol’ standoff. Barricade or not, and probably would do decently in a shootout versus just regular police.”

Reportedly, NBA YoungBoy could face up to ten years behind bars, fines, and a period of supervised release for his alleged crimes. What do you think of DJ Akademiks claiming that a SWAT team was sent to arrest NBA YoungBoy this year? What about his explanation for why it played out this way?

DJ Akademiks Gets Obliterated By YouTuber Over Culture Vulture Claims

by

This all started over a rapper’s death. Ybc Dul aka Mr. Disrespectful was killed on August 26, and a YouTuber named Brandon Buckingham posted an interview with the rapper a day before. DJ Akademiks reacted to said interview, and did not like what he saw. He went on Twitch and accused Buckingham of exploiting Ybc Dul’s death for views. He dubbed Buckingham a “white boy voyeuristic” type, and went on to name other white YouTubers who actually “care about the culture.” Buckingham saw these comments, and proceeded to blow up on DJ Akademiks.

Brandon Buckingham posted a statement to his Twitter account. It’s not delicately worded. He proceeds to insult DJ Akademiks in the first sentence, calling him a “fat drunk p**sy.” He also defended his passion for hip hop as a culture. “Akademiks is really a fat drunk p**sy for running right to his little stream after Dul died to say I’m not for the culture,” Buckingham wrote. Buckingham them aimed criticisms back at Akademiks. “His woman beating bald head a*s sits on a computer all day and is afraid to go any hood anywhere.”

Brandon Buckingham then flipped DJ Akademiks’ point of reference. Instead of comparing himself to other white YouTubers, he compared himself favorably to Ak. With disrespect, of course. “Stay inside and keep talking sh*t from the comfort of your home,” Buckingham added. “We are both civilians and I have ten times the heart as your b*tch a*s.” The irony, of course, is that DJ Akademiks has been accused of the very same thing he accused Buckingham of. The internet personality has been criticized for using violence and the deaths of rappers to bolster his own fame.

In 2022, music video director Spike Tarantino called out DJ Akademiks for his coverage of Kay Flock’s murder. He claimed Ak did little to cover the rapper during his lifetime, but proceeded to act like he was an expect after Flock was killed. Akademiks has also been saddled with legal troubles in recent months. The DJ was sued for rape and defamation in April. Fauziya Abashe claims that was taken advantage of multiple times at Akademiks’ home. The internet personality denies the allegations.

50 Cent Clowns Irv Gotti For Having A Stroke

by

During a recent episode of his podcast, Wack 100 claimed that Irv Gotti suffered a stroke several months ago. He went on to share a photo of Gotti walking with a cane on Instagram, which quickly made its rounds online. His rep later confirmed the news in a statement to TMZ, revealing that he’s since made a full recovery, and is not back home with his loved ones.

“Irv has been struggling with diabetes for years, which caused him to have a minor stroke over six months ago,” the statement begins. “He has since changed his diet to eating more healthy. He’s been successful in making a full recovery. Irv is not in a rehab facility. He is at home with his family, enjoying life.”

Most commenters called Wack 100 out for being insensitive, but evidently, he’s not the only one. His longtime foe 50 Cent took to Instagram today to share his take on the debacle, making it clear that he doesn’t have much sympathy. “👀Damn homie, in high school you was the man homie, WTF happened to you?” he captioned the aforementioned photo of Gotti using a cane. “I want Irv to get well, 🤨so he can have to watch my next wave 🌊 LOL 🎥 @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”

This isn’t the only time Fif’s gone after Gotti on Instagram, however. Last month, he reacted to news of Gotti getting sued for alleged sexual assault, claiming that “the legal fees are gonna break his a** half, he ain’t got no money.” What do you think of 50 Cent trolling Irv Gotti in response to news of his stroke? Do you think he crossed the line or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

MGK Bashes Sean Strickland During Podcast And The UFC Star Claps Back

by

MGK likes to pick fights. He’s been a confrontational artist since day one, and the biggest moment of his career, the Eminem beef, stemmed from this quality. It should come as no surprise, then, that MGK had a lot to say about UFC star Sean Strickland. He went off during when asked about Strickland during a stint on the Impaulsive podcast. He not only claimed that Strickland was too insecure to be himself, but was a bad person behind closed doors. The UFC fighter eventually clapped back.

MGK really had knives out for Sean Strickland. Impaulsive host Logan Paul seemed genuinely surprised by how much the rapper hated the former middleweight champion. “I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread,” MGK stated. “Didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterward that he’s insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy, so I would have never wanted to shake his hand in the first place.” It got more intense from there. He proceeded to address Sean Strickland directly, and told him to “shut the f*ck up.” MGK also called him a “f*cking idiot” for good measure.

MGK And Strickland Have Been Beefing Since February

Strickland did not like what he heard (obviously). He took to Twitter a day after the MGK interview dropped, and fired back with a few insults of his own. The UFC star clowned the rapper of having an identity crisis despite being in his mid-30s. “Dawg you had a mid life crisis and tattooed your entire body,” he asserted. The language and the overall vitriol gets turned up as the tweet goes on. “The the [sic] ‘x community of intolerance’ yall,” Strickland added. “I’d hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this c**t.”

Sean Strickland ended his message by telling MGK to “go back to cutting” himself. He also threw in a “f*cking weirdo” for good measure. When someone calls you a “f*cking idiot,” a rebuttal seems pretty fair. For context, MGK and Sean Strickland first crossed paths in February. Both celebrities were at the Power Slam event, and their disdain for each was apparently on sight. An altercation between MGK and Strickland broke out. The latter took to Twitter afterwards and claimed that he “almost hit a vampire.” It doesn’t sound like these two are going to make up anytime soon.

Dame Dash’s Roc-A-Fella Auction Postponed Over Massive Child Support & Tax Debts

by

Dame Dash’s one-third stake in Roc-A-Fella Records was set to be auctioned off by the U.S. government on August 29, but now, the auction has been pushed back by nearly a month. It will now take place on September 22. The sale is intended to cover an $823K judgment Dash owes Josh Webber, who along with Muddy Water Pictures, sued him for copyright infringement and defamation in 2022.

According to Billboard, however, both New York City and the state want money from the sale too. Reportedly, he owes $197,000 in unpaid child support, as well as a whopping $8.7 million in unpaid taxes. Judge Robert W. Lehrburger explained in his ruling that the delay would allow more time to set a higher minimum bid. Webber’s attorney has a plan for how to disburse the money, which he made alongside the city and state, though Dash’s lawyer Natraj Bhushan was not involved.

“We look forward to upcoming court conference so that all interested parties can be heard and the court can decide who gets what, and in what priority from the forthcoming public auction,” Bhushan says. The delay comes shortly after Jay-Z’s team filed a notice about the rights to his 1996 album Reasonable Doubt, Roc-A-Fella’s only asset. In 2031, the rights will officially go to him, meaning that whoever wins the auction will only get one-third of the album’s revenue for about six years.

Dash responded to this with a rant on Instagram Live. “They had some bum-a** board meeting and all of a sudden he gets first right of refusal. I don’t really care. It don’t slow nothing down for me,” he explained. “Now I don’t know how deep homie’s pockets is. I’m curious if he’s gonna match that. I put an offer on the table, lemme see if he’ll match it. But it was from other people.” What do you think of the planned auction of Dame Dash’s Roc-A-Fella shares getting delayed?

Meek Mill Gets Clowned For Having No Hits But The Internet Defends Him

by

Meek Mill did not have the career a lot fans thought he would. He seem poised to be one of the biggest artists of his generation in the early 2010s. A lot of drama transpired on and off record to ensure it didn’t happen. Today, Meek Mill is a curiosity, too old to be relevant but too young to be get revisionist praise. It’s this awkward middle ground that led one podcaster to claim that the rapper had no real hits to his name. The take spread like wildfire online, and fans banded together to remind the podcaster that he does, in fact, had a solid catalog.

The podcast in question was The Need To Know show, and the host in question was Mandii B. She did concede that “Dreams and Nightmares” was an iconic song, but proceeded to rag on the rest of Meek’s catalog for being light on hits. “I don’t know anybody who could name five Meek [Mill] records,” Mandii B stated. The host also hesitated to admit that Meek was a legend in his native Philadelphia. She pointed to the fact that Hov appointed Meek Mill the “next JAY-Z,” and stated that he fell woefully short of these big expectations.

Fans Made Sure Respect Was Put On Meek Mill’s Name

The internet was not on Mandii B’s side. Meek Mill may not have dropped hit songs recently, but the general consensus was that the rapper had plenty in his past. Fans gave detailed breakdowns of how popular Meek Mill was during the first half of the 2010s. “If you was in college or the streets from 2007-2015 Meek Mill was EVERYWHERE,” one impassioned user wrote. “Meek got 4 RIAA certified albums & 40 songs either Platinum or Gold. This is ridiculous.” Another user accused Mandii B of fishing for hot takes on purpose. “She out here trying to go viral for takes,” they tweeted.

Meek also saw the Need to Know clip, and responded. Now, those who have been following the rapper on Twitter know that he’s prone to saying nonsensical things. He spun a rant about firing his PR team into a discussion of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. We’re still not sure how. But Meek Mill had a concise, solid response to Mandii B’s criticism. He posted a link to his beloved mixtape Dreamchasers 2. “How many hits on this mixtape you know,” he wrote. “Bot billboard classified hits I got those too lol but this 2011 vibes I’m kinda rap invincible …. The Mandela effect is real huh.” We have to say we agree with the Philly legend.
