Lauryn Hill’s Surprise Show At High School Reunion Grinds The Gears Of Fans

by

There seems to be a little bit of a divide in the Fugees camp and most of the blame is falling on Lauryn Hill. That’s at least what the iconic rapper and singer feels is the case, according to past quotes from her Instagram. “Some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales for the North American portion of the tour”. That’s what she feels led to her ultimately having to cancel the reunion tour in the states. Her making last minute changes to performances is nothing new, although past injuries have been a consistent sidelining factor. Still, it’s been a constant theme and fellow band mate Pras has taken notice of it as well.

In fact, he was even dissing Lauryn Hill on an unreleased song not too long ago. However, he claims it had nothing to do with her, the timing of it certainly would suggest otherwise. Pras also has been feeling the Fugees fans’ sadness and disappointment. “They are paying their hard-earned money to see you. We’re going on almost three decades of our existence, individually and as a group. To have people still interested in wanting to come see you, man, you have to be grateful”.

Lauryn Hill Gives Her Old High School A Night To Remember

If Pras wasn’t dissing Lauryn Hill on “Bar Mitzva”, he might be speaking out soon against her for real once he sees this video. According to a tweet from The Art Of Dialogue and an article from HipHopDX, Hill was recorded giving an impromptu show at her high school’s reunion. Specifically, the free medley show took place at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey. She performed hits from her solo catalog and Fugees classics like “Ready or Not”, even altering the lyrics to show love to her alma mater. “CHS taking over / Buffalo soldier / Dreadlock Rasta“. Fans were quite upset about seeing this footage, as they are calling her out for performing at the wrong reunion. “She showed up a year late and sang to the wrong reunion”, one X user half jokes.

What are your thoughts on Lauryn Hill performing at her old high school for a surprise performance? Do you think Pras will have something to say about this impromptu show? Is this a bad look for Lauryn, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Popcaan Demands Kendrick Lamar’s Music Gets Shut Off In Viral Clip

by

Popcaan refused to listen to Kendrick Lamar when the rapper’s music came on during a recent interview with Link Up TV. In a clip of the moment circulating on social media, he appears to be in disbelief before demanding to know where the music is coming from. He eventually requests the song be turned off and reaffirms his allegiance to OVO.

In response to one of Drake’s fan pages posting the clip on X (formerly Twitter), fans had mixed responses. Many praised the Jamaican artist for sticking up for his OVO collaborator while others were more critical. One user wrote: “Drake stans don’t even know Popcaan is OVO, they’re on here saying things like ‘wow respect’ and ‘wow Drake has the streets’ because Drake completely erased him after taking his flow.” Another added: “N****s in the comments wanna act like they listen to Popcaan cause he signed to Drake.”

Jalen Green Has Fans Convinced He Got Draya Michele’s Face Tattooed On His Back

by

Jalen Green and Draya Michele are a couple that has certainly riled up fans. Overall, a lot of this has to do with the fact that Green is much younger than Michele. Moreover, he is an NBA star who is making tens of millions of dollars. As a result, there are some out there who are very productive of the star. Not to mention, the couple now has a kid, which has led to more theories about exploitation. However, the couple has denied it all, and they seem pretty happy.

Through all of this, they are still very much together. They have been spotted at some events with one another, and they are always posting each other on social media. Meanwhile, fans recently spotted a tattoo on Green that may or may not showcase just how much he loves his woman. Below, you can see that his back has a tattoo on it that portrays the face of a woman. Half of the tattoo was sticking out so it is hard to tell what the true subject is. However, many believe it is a depiction of Draya Michele.

Gordo Labels DJ Mustard A “Strange Guy” With Backhanded Compliment

by

Gordo, who has collaborated with Drake several times over the years, trolled “Not Like Us” producer DJ Mustard on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend. In doing so, he channeled similar comments Mustard made about Drake by labeling him a “strange guy.” Despite the remark, he began the post with some powerful praise for the 34-year-old.

“I will not tolerate any dj mustard slander…. That guy is a f*cking legend… made multiple classics.. and had one the most iconic runs ever as a producer… he’s just a strange guy,” Cordo wrote in his post. Mustard made the same remark of Drake while speaking with the Los Angeles Times, last week. “I don’t think I want to make a song with that dude,” he said at the time. “He’s a strange guy.”

Despite the remark, Gordo recently argued that Drake hasn’t been phased by the result of this beef with Kendrick Lamar. Speaking with People back in July, the “Rich Baby Daddy” producer claimed that Drake was “happy as sh*t.” “Ever since all this has happened … I’ve seen him happier. It’s really weird. He’s pretty jolly,” Gordo said. “The internet makes it seem like, ‘Oh, that photo, he’s all sad and sh*t.’ That’s just a bad photo from a bad camera. But because it’s him, it’s put under a magnifying glass like, ‘Oh, look at his eyes. He’s looking a little droopy. He hasn’t slept.’ But the guy’s been happy as sh*t, to be honest. He’s chilling.”

Drake’s Latest Joe Budden Trolling Tactic Is His Pettiest Move Yet

by

It seems that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to Drake’s music release schedule. According to a repost on X from Toronto hip-hop outlet keep6ixsolid, DJ Akademiks was on yet another live stream as he usually is. He appears to be talking fans or even some friends and their conversation is centering around Drizzy’s most recent trio of tracks from his IG burner account and his 100gigs.org site. He dropped “No Face” featuring Playboi Carti, “Circadian Rhythm”, and “Supersoak (SOD)” minus Lil Yachty last Friday, August 23. Obviously, the final day of the work week is when artists release new music. However, given that Drake put out these songs in the middle of the afternoon, Akademiks feels this has something to do with Joe Budden.

Almost every follower of hip-hop knows that The Boy and the podcast host have quite a bit of disdain for one another. That was especially true on the part of Joe Budden because he dragged Drake multiple times during the Kendrick Lamar beef whenever he dropped a new diss track in time for him to rip it apart. Because of this, Drake’s number one fan/reporter firmly believes that it could be a real possibility that he would do this so The Joe Budden Podcast couldn’t discuss the new Drizzy records that same day. Akademiks admits he doesn’t want to come to grips with it. But after talking with his fellow controversial contemporary during the Drake and Kendrick beef about this idea, he’s entertaining it.

DJ Akademiks Is Entertaining This Drake/Joe Budden Theory

Ak even noticed how he was the only major show/podcast talking about the new Drake drops because others were gone for the weekend. He reveals that Joe records his first episode on Friday around 3 p.m. local time for them to be put up on Saturdays. Then, Ak shares that we don’t a second recording until Wednesday. So, with all of that in mind, it’s going to be quite interesting to see if Budden talks about Drake and his alleged scheme in the next podcast.

What are your thoughts on DJ Akademiks believing that Drake is dropping after Joe Budden records his podcast episode? Do you think he would actually do this, why or why not? Will Budden address this topic on the next episode? 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, Joe Budden, and DJ Akademiks. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
