DJ Vlad Squashes Marlon Wayans Beef During DJ Akademiks Interview

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Vlad and Marlon Wayans do not like each other. They may seem like they exist in two different worlds, but they can’t seem to stop arguing. At least, until now. Hell froze over for DJ Vlad on August 26. The hip hop personality decided to step back and reassess his comments about Marlon Wayans. He decided to apologize to the comedian during a recent interview with DJ Akademiks. He went as far as to say that he respected Wayans as an entertainer, and explained how their beef came to be in the first place.

First, context. During an interview with Aries Spears, DJ Vlad claimed that Marlon Wayans had been difficult to work with. He alleged that Wayans asked for $40K to appear on the Vlad TV channel, as well as 30% of future revenue from his episode. DJ Vlad considered both requests to be absurd. DJ Vlad and Wayans proceeded to exchange insults via social media when the latter caught wind of the trash talk. “You unprofessional my guy,” the comedian tweeted. “If you don’t like the number keep it moving. You look BAD. You should fall back. Mad at a black man stating his number? And now you go public and use your platform to try to drag me. I never in my life dealt with this silly negotiating tactic.”

DJ Vlad Admits He Acted Unprofessionally

Vlad admitted he acted unprofessionally during his new interview. “Honestly, at the end of the day, it was just a business negotiation,” he stated. “I could’ve kept it to myself. I overdid it.” Vlad then said that he would be open to working something out with Wayans in the future. “I do actually respect [him],” the DJ added. “That was the reason I approached [him] in the first place.” DJ Vlad also provided some of the reasoning behind his initial frustration. He felt as though Marlon Wayans failed to realize how big Vlad TV is, and didn’t take the negotiations seriously as a result.

DJ Vlad cited other hip hop personalities like Big Boy and Charlamagne Tha God as people that Wayans seemingly had more respect for at the time. That said, he has moved on from his initial resentments, and is eager to bury the hatchet. “My bad Marlon, I apologize,” DJ Vlad concluded. “It’s all good. I think most people just want to respect each other and I think it could have been handled a little differently.” Maybe we will get to see Wayans on Vlad TV one of these days.

Troy Ave Gifted New Lamborghini After Being Released From Prison: Watch

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Troy Ave is home. The rapper was released from Riker’s Island on August 26. And his team made sure there was plenty to celebrate. The rapper was handed $2 million and a brand new Lamborghini. The whole exchange was recorded and posted on social media. Troy Ave was thrilled. His face may be covered in the videos, but his body language was loud and clear. The first post sees Troy Ave holding a clear bag filled with bills.

The second post, however, sees the rapper posing for a photo with his bag and his new car. One of the photos that were taken made its way to Troy Ave’s Instagram. He posted the celebratory image with the caption: “Ya boi home!”. The rapper has good reason to be grateful. He was originally given a year long sentence. Troy Ave’s attorney, John B. Stella, however, was able to appeal the sentence. Stella argued that Ave should have months taken off the sentence due to the fact that he served time while awaiting trial. “Under the law he must serve 8 months to satisfy that sentence,” the attorney wrote. “Since he previously spent almost 2 months in jail before he made bail, the remaining balance of time he must serve is a little over 6 months.”

Ave was sentenced to prison due to the role he played in a 2016 shooting. The 2016 incident took place at Irving Plaza in New York City, and claimed the life of Ave’s bodyguard, Ronald ‘Banga’ McPhatter. The other man involved in the shooting, podcaster Taxstone, was also locked up. He was not as fortunate however. Taxstone was found guilty of manslaughter. He was also charged with possession of a firearm as a felon. He was subsequently sentenced to 35 years. Troy Ave talked about the incident on Instagram prior to his sentencing.

“All them people that was in the car with me, I end up taking the guns,” the rapper explained. “Somebody shot at me. Instead of laying down and dying, I’d have been a hero. A martyr, I took the gun and bust back.” Troy Ave doesn’t regret reacting the way he did. “Here go the consequences,” he noted. “But we don’t cry over spilt milk. We take the lemons and make lemonade. God is great, and the paper’s straight. Y’all keeps it cool. Y’all keep running it up.”

Meek Mill Freestyles Over Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” Diss: Watch

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill is always up to something. The Philadelphia rapper can always be counted on to say or do something that makes fans scratch their heads. Meek Mill decided he want to showcase his freestyle skills on August 26 by spitting a verse over “Family Matters.” Then, a few hours later, Meek Mill came back with another freestyle. Instead of being over a Drake diss, however, the rapper decided to flip the script. He spit over the beat to Kendrick Lamar’s diss, “Euphoria,” instead.

Meek Mill played the “Family Matters” freestyle in a car, which made sense. The rapper decided to get a little more adventurous when it came to “Euphoria,” though. Meek decided to walk through a department store and rap along to his recorded freestyle in public. He documented the whole thing on his Instagram Live. He also provided some context in the form of a written caption. “I did Kendrick and Drake beats for practice,” he explained. Meek Mill is no stranger to rap beef. Especially when it comes to the 6 God. He has weighed in on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle via social media, but his overall sentiment was a little confusing.

Meek Mill Praised Both Drake And Dot During The Battle

Meek Mill avoided choosing sides, then proceeded to big up his own battle skills in the process. He also shed light on his PR situation, for some reason. “My PR has been off for a year,” he tweeted back in May. “When I’m gone they will give it up! Ima just keep grinding! [The] boy and Kendrick have their own lanes and qualities they great at also!” To be fair to Meek, he may be ahead of the game, rather than behind it. While “Family Matters” and “Euphoria” are months old, Drake has been hinting at a second round of the battle.

The Toronto rapper posted an Instagram Story of Rasheed Wallace proclaiming: “We will win Game 2.” Fans didn’t have to do too much deep diving to know that he was alluding the Kendrick Lamar battle. Drake took the Instagram Story down shortly after, though, which confounded just about everybody. Meek Mill may have more diss songs to freestyle over, if the 6 God makes good on his quasi-cryptic post.

Big Sean Reveals COVID Diagnosis During Emotional IG Live: Watch

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean has been through a lot since he dropped his last album. He became a father, he quit drinking, and apparently, he suffered from COVID. The rapper hopped on Instagram Live ahead of his new album release and dropped the bombshell news about his diagnosis. Big Sean talked about the various ways in which he feels he’s been tested since 2020. He also relayed the importance of these tests, and the role they play in the lyrical content of Better Me Than You.

Big Sean doesn’t take long to get emotional. Upon reflecting on the last four years, the rapper starts to tear up. He turns away from the camera, and even cuts at one point before walking back into the frame. “When you make art, you put your heart into this sh*t,” he explains. Big Sean then reveals that he is in the midst of recovering from COVID. “When I had COVID last week,” he reveals. “I was down and I was still working on the album.” The rapper then pointed out the irony of his diagnosis, given that his last album, Detroit 2, dropped during the pandemic. “When I last dropped an album, it was COVID,” he noted. “I was excited to plan my release party, I was excited to do all of that.”

Big Sean Is Already Working On His Next Album

A post shared by Baller Alert (@balleralert)

Big Sean credits his family with helping him get through such a difficult time. He recalls a phone call from his mother that helped to put everything in perspective. Especially with regards to the release date of the album. “She was giving me them words,” he explained. “And I was just like, look, I can keep working on some sh*t and make it exactly how I wanted. But I’d be pushing it back forever.” He ultimately decided to have faith in the music he had, and put it out August 30. “That’s what I’mma do,” he told viewers. “The album is dropping this week.”

Big Sean also revealed that he’s begun work on his next album. He explained that he kept working while he was sick, and actually has dozens of songs that didn’t make the Better Me Than You tracklist. One of them, evidently, features Fantasia. Big Sean dubbed their collab “soulful,” and hinted at its inclusion on whatever he drops next. The uncertainty over which songs to include makes sense, given that Sean had to deal with Better Me Than You leaking in its entirety. We’re excited to hear the final version.

Lil Uzi Vert Seemingly Uses Nitrous During Studio Session: Watch

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Uzi Vert has fans worried. The rapper was spotting using a substance that looks like nitrous oxide during a studio session. The other people in the video fail to comment on Lil Uzi Vert’s actions, despite the rapper very clearly inhaling a substance from a balloon. Fans have flocked to social media to voice their concern. Especially given Lil Uzi Vert’s past struggles with substance abuse and addiction. The use of nitrous has also led parallels to be drawn between Uzi Vert and Kanye West. The latter was recently accused of being addicted to the gas.

Uzi Vert has been open about their addictive tendencies. The rapper revealed that they spent seven months in a rehab during a 2023 interview with the magazine 032c. Lil Uzi Vert admitted they didn’t want to go to rehab. They were eventually urged to do so by their Roc Nation boss, JAY-Z. “I didn’t want to do it, but I had to and I can say now that it was a great thing to do,” they explained. “The first month and a half were hard. But after that, it was easy, because the people there became my family.” Uzi Vert also admitted their skepticism over the effectiveness of rehab. “I was so sure that it wasn’t going to work,” they explained. “But surprisingly it’s pretty effective.”

Nitrous has become a major talking in the hip hop sphere due to Kanye West. His former employee, Milo Yiannopoulos, claimed that the rapper was completely dependent on the gas. He even the man who he blames for nurturing West’s addiction, Dr. Thomas P. Connelly. West’s representatives have denied the claims. Interestingly enough, Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert are longtime supporters of each other’s music. Uzi claims 808s & Heartbreak changed his life, and the album went on to inspire the rapper’s aesthetic. Kanye West, on the other hand, called Uzi Vert the “future” of hip hop during an April interview.

Uzi Vert told 032c that being sober actually improved his creative process. “I could think more clear,” they realized. “And could actually like, instead of my words slurring, even though that’s kinda cool, everything made sense. I didn’t just make random music.” The rapper also urged fans struggling with addiction to stay clean. “It’s the best thing to do,” they concluded. “It’ll change your life. And you’ll look better.” Hopefully Uzi Vert doesn’t regress.

Drake Follows Kanye West On Instagram After Unexpected Concert Tribute

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Kanye West continue to baffle fans. They are two of the biggest rappers of all time. They have openly talked about the impact that they have had on each other’s careers. And they can’t seem to figure out if they’re friends or enemies. It seemed like there was no chance that Drake and Kanye West would patch things up in 2024. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Drake started following the Chicago rapper on Instagram. No hoopla or fanfare, but the gestures was so notable thats fans quickly took notice.

There were signs that something was going on. Kanye West performed a staggering, seventy plus song set in South Korea last week. The rapper ran through all of his classic hits, including “I Wonder.” Before he performed “I Wonder,” however, West decided to dedicate the song to his former enemy. “This one for Drake,” he told an understandably confused crowd. Drake didn’t comment on the shout out, but he did include Kanye West in his ongoing “100 Gigs” project two days later. The 6 God posted unreleased footage of himself talking about Kanye West after they performed at 2013 OVO Fest.

Drake Recently Released Footage Praising Ye

In what felt like a very pointed inclusion, Drake gush about Kanye West to his team. “Yo, that was crazy! That’s real rap sh*t,” the Toronto rapper explained. “We don’t communicate with each other enough and sometimes when we get on that stage, it’s an outpouring of emotion.” Drake admitted to feeling a sense of competition with Kanye West, but he also conceded that he’s an enormous fan. “I’m the biggest Ye fan. Period,” he asserted. “Sometimes I feel like I can’t like it because I gotta go against it. But that sh*t tonight was almost therapeutic.” It does really seem like both men are reconsidering their relationship at the moment.

The concert shout out, the footage, and the Instagram follow are a far cry from where Drake and West were at just a few months ago. It’s worth noting that Kanye West was so anti-Drake that he decided to elbow his way into the Kendrick Lamar battle. He dropped a remix to “Like That” in which he attacked Drizzy and his business dealings. He went voiced excitement for the “elimination of Drake” during an accompanying interview. Again: all that happened in April. Maybe we will get Drake and Kanye West music after all.

Sean Kingston & His Mom Hilariously Run From Reporters After Fraud Case Court Hearing

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sean Kingston and his mother made it clear they had no interest in speaking with reporters following their court hearing last week, as they ran from the cameras.
