Meek Mill Freestyles Over Drake’s “Family Matters” Diss Track: Watch
Meek Mill shared a video of himself listening to a freestyle he made over the beat to Drake’s diss track, “Family Matters,” on social media over the weekend. In the clip, he plays the track in a car while rapping along. Drake released the original version of the song, earlier this year, while feuding with Kendrick Lamar.
Fans had mixed responses to the freestyle on X (formerly Twitter). ”Literally copy’s anything Drake does, soon as Drake got braids he got them (don’t care if he had them years ago) also every single beat Drake raps on he has too rap on, he a fan,” one user argued. Another added: “It’s really astonishing how this man’s image flipped to ultimate goofy. I really can’t unsee it.” Others were more excited by the snippert. “This sound like Dreams & Nightmares Meek,” one fan remarked.

Meek’s flip of Drake’s “Family Matters” comes after he discussed his relationship with the Toronto rapper, last year. “Now we got to a space where we can text each other and say anything… We got that honesty where we can leave it on the table, and we can walk away, and feel good about that. And we ain’t have that before the beef,” he said on SiriusXM’s Hip Hop Nation. The two famously feuded back in 2015 but are clearly on much better terms nowadays.

Diddy Labels Lil Rod’s Claims “Pure Fiction” In New Motion
Diddy is fighting back against Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ bombshell lawsuit, in which he accuses the Bad Boy mogul of sexually harassing, drugging, and threatening him. NBC News obtained a motion from Diddy’s legal team on Monday, in which they argue to dismiss Jones’ case. His attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, originally filed the lawsuit back in February. They’re seeking damages amounting to $30 million.
The motion claims that Jones’ lawsuit is rampant with lies. “Running to nearly 100 pages, it includes countless tall tales, shameless celebrity namedrops, and irrelevant images,” it reads. Diddy’s lawyer Erica Wolff, added in a statement: “Mr. Jones’s lawsuit is pure fiction — a shameless attempt to create media hype and extract a quick settlement. There was no RICO conspiracy and Mr. Jones was not threatened, groomed, assaulted, or trafficked. We look forward to proving — in a court of law — that all of Mr. Jones’s claims are made-up and must be dismissed.” They further accused Jones of trying to “generate media hype and exploit it to extract a settlement.”

In response, Blackburn said that he hasn’t gotten a chance to read through the motion in its entirety, but reaffirmed his support for his client. “This is clearly a billing exercise by individuals who are late to the game and are attempting to fill their pockets before their client is indicted,” he said. Blackburn is also representing April Lampros, who is suing Diddy for four alleged instances of sexual assault. Diddy has already denied those claims as well.
The string of lawsuits against Diddy began last year, when Cassie accused him of rape, sex trafficking, and physical assault in a lawsuit of her own. The two quickly settled that case. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

The Game Changing His IG Profile Pic To Karrueche Spawns All Sorts Of Reactions From Fans
Karrueche Tran continues to make a lot of fans in the hip-hop world. By fans, we mean of her looks and overall personality. There are quite a few rappers/hip-hop adjacent artists that she’s drawn in. Current rivals Chris Brown and Quavo are perhaps the biggest names attached to the 36-year-old beauty. It appears that Karrueche is single at the moment, and that’s all The Game apparently needed to hear. According to The Shade Room, the California rapper appears to be publicly shooting his shot because his Instagram profile picture is of her.
What’s even wilder is the fact that itis a screenshot of her most recent post on the Gram. She uploaded a “Morning.” post to her profile with her displaying her messy bun. If this is catching you off guard, like it it has for a lot of people, The Game fawning over openly is nothing new, actually. According to HipHopDX, The Game spit a few bars about her on his 2016 track, “All Eyez”. “You want me to say your name, huh?
Karrueche!“. This track actually sparked some beef between him and Breezy, who was linked to Karrueche back then.

However, after all sorts of reactions and questions from fans, The Game is setting the record straight. He snuck into the confused and weirded out comments section of The Shade Room‘s post, saying, “That picture dope. & K is a fire person n the homie. Gone bout yall day. Yall gone be alright.” With that now out of the way, it seems its more of just fanboy moment than anything else.
What are your thoughts on The Game changing his Instagram profile picture to Karrueche? Do you think the California rapper is capping that there’s nothing going on between them? Do you think the actress and model will respond? Is this some weird behavior, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Playboi Carti & The Weeknd’s FaceTime Sparks Excitement Amongst Fans
Overall, Playboi Carti and The Weeknd do not share a lot in common, at least musically speaking. However, they put a lot of people on to what they can do a track together last summer. The two respective superstars, and pop legend Madonna, all united for “Popular”. The 80s synth-pop/pop rap track was one of the first soundtrack cuts for Abel Tesfaye’s HBO exclusive TV show, The Idol. Sadly, the program turned out to be a major flop, but the single did not. For how cooky the track came across at its inception, it did a respectable job on the charts, peaking and debuting at 43 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In this case, it was more of a grower, as it is now certified platinum as of June 20, 2024. Furthermore, it also made its way onto the deluxe version of The Weeknd’s The Highlights compilation record. Finally, “Popular” sits at nearly 900 million streams, good enough for the fifth spot on his most popular on Spotify. Since the release of this single, it seems that The Weeknd and Playboi Carti are pretty good buddies. For example, the label head iced out the Dawn FM creator with some custom XO/Opium iced out jewelry.

Now, it seems that they are furthering that friendship after a recent FaceTime according to Kurrco. In a frankly odd but funny screenshot, Abel is holding a lit lighter with smiles for miles. Then, there’s Carti who is looking more and more like Kanye West by the second. In fact, some fans were quick to point that out. “You mean Kanye and weekend?”, one X user hilariously questions. However, this repost also led some fans to hope for more music from this new tandem in the future. “NEED A COLLAB”, another excitedly types. “Carti and weeknd the duo we never thought we needed”. Hopefully, that does turn out to be the case. Both artists have records in the works so maybe we will see them together a track when those eventually drop.
What are your thoughts on Playboi Carti and The Weeknd talking to each other on FaceTime? Do you think a new collaboration is coming soon? Is “Popular” still in your rotation? Who do you think will drop their new album first? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.
