Drake Astoundingly Receives Praise From Joe Budden In Shocking Turn Of Events

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, there was a potential theory that DJ Akademiks was entertaining in regard to Drake dropping music at a certain time. The hip-hop pundit recalled past conversations with Joe Budden about how the latter felt that Drake was purposely dropping tracks after the podcaster would record his episodes, that way he would react to them late. Budden recognized this pattern during the heat of the Kendrick Lamar beef, and at first, Akademiks was quick to dismiss it. However, after letting it marinate and noticing when Drake put out his most recent 100gigs.org three-pack, he’s now fully of that same belief.

In our report, we noted that we were curious to see what Joe Budden would have to say, given what we just outlined. Would he address this trend he feels is real? Was he going to rip the songs to shreds even more so because of that? Well, with the second weekly episode of The Joe Budden Podcast now up today, according to a tweet from joebuddenclips, we have our answer.

Joe Budden Says This Is His Favorite Three-Pack From Drake

Joe budden says he likes the new
drake songs, he says the production is much better on these records. He also talks about him hinting that he’s reading to Battle Kendrick Lamar a second time
(we will win game two.)

In a major plot twist, the controversial host actually had the complete opposite reaction to “Supersoak (SOD)”, “No Face”, and “Circadian Rhythm”. While reacting to the former of the trio, Budden was visibly enjoying the track and saying that this three-pack is his favorite out of the two. Later into the panel’s conversation, he says that he also thinks that “he’s doing a decent job now in post battle recovery”. However, in that same breath, Budden just wants Drake to be with his team and his team only and just go to work on slowly returning to form. Additionally, he’s not really hoping that Drake and Kendrick start “game 2”, but he’s going to have a “front-row seat” if it does go down to no one’s surprise.

What are your thoughts on Joe Budden giving Drake praise for his newest trio of tracks? Do you think he’s trying get in Drizzy’s good graces, why or why not? What do foresee happening next between The Boy and Kendrick Lamar? 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 and Joe Budden. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Irv Gotti Confirms He Suffered A Stroke After Wack 100 Leaks Photo Of Him Using A Cane

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A representative for Irv Gotti has confirmed that the music industry veteran suffered a “minor stroke” earlier this year. The news comes after Wack 100 leaked the information in the latest episode of his podcast, as caught by TMZ. “Irv has been struggling with diabetes for years, which caused him to have a minor stroke over six months ago,” his rep. told the outlet. “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.”

During the podcast, Wack claimed to have pictures of Gotti in the aftermath of the stroke and knew someone at a recovery center where Gotti allegedly received treatment. He ended up sharing a photo of Gotti walking with the help of a cane on his Instagram page. In the comments section of the upload, fans scolded him for being insensitive about the situation.

Health problems aren’t the only issues plaguing Gotti in recent months. He’s also facing a lawsuit with accusations of sexual assault, battery, and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. A Jane Doe filed the complaint in Miami-Dade County, Florida, back in July, claiming his actions caused her “severe emotional and psychological harm.” Gotti denied the claims in a statement, labeling them an “affront to women who have truly suffered abuse.”

LeBron James Reveals What Bronny Can’t Call Him On The Court

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The 2024-2025 NBA season is going to have several interesting storylines come and go as every new campaign does. However, one that will constantly be in rotation one way or another is the on-court chemistry between LeBron James and Bronny James. They are the newest father/son duo in the league and arguably the most substantial one in quite some time. The Los Angeles Lakers selected the USC guard with the 55th pick in the 2024 draft, so it will be interesting to see how much playing time he gets in the NBA. Bronny did sign a four-year, $7.9 million deal with a team option on the final year of his contract.

Part of those chemistry questions are less serious than others, like what Bronny will be calling LeBron on the court. But nonetheless, we have the answer to that question thanks to Bossip. According to them, the future Hall-of-Famer revealed this information in a preview of the upcoming episode of The Shop. Overall, LeBron wants to keep things as professional as possible, which means that Bronny will not be calling him dad. “[He] cannot call me dad in the workplace. Once we leave out the private facility and the gates close, I could be dad again [and], in the car, if we ride together, at home I could be dad”, the Lakers forward said.

LeBron James Wants Things To Be Professional Between Him & Bronny

A post shared by SportsCenter (@sportscenter)

“We cannot be running down the court, and he’d be like, ‘Dad, push the ball up! Dad, I’m open! Dad, come on!’”. So, what can Bronny call his dad while they are at work? In typical Bron fashion, he’s got some hilariously corny answers. “He got to call me like ‘2-3’ or ‘Bron’ or, you know, ‘GOAT’ if he want to. It’s up to him”. With a topic as big as this, you know fans are going to be all over it, and boy have they been. A lot of them came prepared jokes and here are a couple that we had to point out. “”LeDad im open””. ““Aye, Dad swing the rock” would be COMEDY ”.

What are your thoughts on LeBron James wanting to keep things professional between him and Bronny while at work? Is this a reasonable thing of him to request, why or why not? How do you think his son will do in his first NBA campaign? 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 LeBron James and Bronny James. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the sports world.

Keefe D’s Bail Payment Rejected Again After Financial Documents Lead To More Questions Than Answers

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Clark District Court Judge Carli Kierny says she has more questions than answers after Duane “Keefe D” Davis attempted to provide additional financial records regarding his attempt to pay off his $750,000 bail. “I have a sense that things are trying to be covered up,” she said at a hearing in the case regarding the murder of Tupac Shakur on Tuesday.

Kierny says she recieved two identical letters from an entertainment company that supposedly supplied Wack 100 with the money. She noted that one of the signed names doesn’t match anyone with ties to the company. Additionally, the second one had a misspelled name and return address for a doctor’s office.

The latest drama surrounding Keefe’s attempt at getting out on bail comes after Kierny previously rejected his attempt to get help from Wack 100. She felt Wack was only trying to get an interview out of Keefe. “I don’t really see where the actual $112,500 came from with what’s been provided,” she said back in June. “I also don’t find the defense has met the burden … to show that the bail is not connected to Mr. Davis ultimately talking about Mr. Shakur’s murder and any evidence to the contrary is not credible.”

Davis has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the case. His trial will begin on March 17. Be on the lookout for further updates on Duane “Keefe D” Davis and the trial for the killing of 2Pac on HotNewHipHop.
