Benny The Butcher Addresses J Cole Diss Rumors On New Album

by

Corny rap fans only have two ways of looking at a relationship between two MCs: they should either be best friends dropping a joint album or dissing each other on wax for sport. It’s a pretty reductive way of looking at artistry and collaboration, especially in today’s hip-hop climate that has some really salient examples of both extreme outcomes, but is mostly filled with friendly or distant competition on smaller scales. But a lot of times, these corny rap fans are right on the money with their thirst for beef… Did they get it right this time around? Well, Benny The Butcher himself finally has an answer on his new album, Summertime Butch.

For those unaware, there’s been some fan rumblings for some time now that J. Cole sneak dissed Benny on their “Johnny P’s Caddy” collab off the Black Soprano Family boss’ 2022 album, Tana Talk 4. Even some media figures like Math Hoffa speculated on this idea, taking incredibly competitive and flag-planting verses from each lyricist to their logical extremes. It’s similar to the conversation that once dominated Kendrick Lamar’s feature on Big Sean’s “Control,” as less knowledgeable fans (and rappers…) misrepresented K.Dot’s competitive invitation as outright disrespect. On the track “The Blue Building,” Benny The Butcher finally spoke on these rumors.

Benny The Butcher’s “The Blue Building”: Listen

“Trolls tell me I got dissed by Cole on my record,” Benny The Butcher raps on the cut. “I’m like, ‘Is y’all slow?’ That’s my n***a / We having hour-long conversations from home / I’m picking his brain on my way to the throne, I ain’t no dumb n***a / I ain’t get here focusing on figures alone, I played more of the distributor role / He told me, ‘Butch, if you see yourself winning, you got a vision to throw.’”

So there you have it, fans: you don’t have to worry about Benny The Butcher and J. Cole trading bars anytime soon. In other Butch news, he recently gave due flowers to another killer spitter: Lloyd Banks. “Lloyd Banks, one of the top n***as ever,” the Buffalo native shared on Instagram. “That’s one rap n***a that n***as don’t wanna play with, He got a million lines. You be like, ‘How the f**k I didn’t think of that?’”

by

Cardi B is happy to show off her pregnancy journey now that she doesn’t have to tease it and hide it from fans anymore. Moreover, she recently shared some new pictures of her baby bump with fans online, rocking baggy jeans, a white top, a leather jacket, and some shades to boot. The Bronx femcee also included the caption “Time will tell” for this post, which obviously points to how far along she is, but it also made fans wonder whether this was a response to something else. Her divorce from Offset still has many fans scratching their heads as to what exactly happened, especially after the former Migo’s social media rant on the matter.

“A n***a will live with you Eat off you Help his family And still b hating inside cuz they ain’t pop on they own,” Offset wrote on Instagram, which had many fans thinking that he was talking about himself and his relationship with Cardi B. “Be the n***a blaming the world for his f ups….. Sucka!” Regardless of whether that interpretation is true, ‘Set previously denied that any cheating scandals contributed to their split. “People really need to do the research. I’m at a public place gambling at a casino with a married 8-month pregnant woman wtf I look like being outside publicly cheating SMD!!!” he shared.

Elsewhere, Cardi B also revealed that she nearly had a miscarriage due to a “f***ing freak accident.” “I don’t know how something — well, it wasn’t little, it actually hurt…” she expressed. “It doesn’t really happen often, but it [had] become so big to the point I was literally paralyzed. And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come. But it didn’t. Yesterday I was feeling good. I came home, but I came home high as a kite.

“Today, I woke up sober, honey. I’m dying. If I don’t feel good in four hours, I’m going to the hospital and I don’t give a f**k. I’ma exaggerate this s**t so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don’t give a damn,” Cardi B concluded with a laugh. We’ll see what else emerges in her saga with Offset and their family.

LeBron James Bumps Drake To Celebrate Team USA Basketball’s Gold Medal Amid Beef Rumors

by

LeBron James and the rest of Team USA have much to celebrate these days thanks to their fifth-straight gold medal in men’s basketball at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. There have been a lot of clips of the players reacting to their win, celebrating together as a collective, and overall having a great time in the city. The latest clip that has people talking, though, is of all of them sitting out with champagne bottles, which LeBron was happy to shake and pop. However, the most curious detail out of the clip below for many fans, especially hip-hop listeners, was that they were playing Drake and Rick Ross’ track “Lord Knows” in the background.

Not only is this a sad reminder that Drizzy and Rozay aren’t cool anymore, but it also contributes to the ongoing saga of LeBron James’ alleged beef with the 6ix God, or perhaps vice versa. For those unaware, a lot of folks are interpreting Drake’s social media activity, as well as that of other OVO members like Chubbs, as sending shade LeBron’s way. The Canadian duo congratulated Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Jayson Tatum collectively with no mention of the current Laker.

However, LeBron James did seem to dispel these rumors recently on social media by posting Drake’s sneaker online with an infinity emoji. Of course, that’s just on his behalf, as we didn’t really get any sort of affirmation from the Toronto superstar at press time: only mixed signals, interesting omissions, or possible shady responses. But folks might be wondering as to why this is even happening. Well, the most reasonable fan theory is that LeBron’s attendance at Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” concert, as well as his overall support of both K.Dot and The Boy during their rap battle and clips of him dancing to “Not Like Us” and rapping along to Kendrick’s diss tracks, rubbed Aubrey Graham the wrong way.

Regardless of whether LeBron James and Drake are actually beefing, people obsessively connected this to the Kendrick Lamar situation and set up the damage already. Whether or not you think there’s something going on or not, it’s clear that everyone involved is in a pretty tight spot when it comes to optics. Well, expect Kendrick, because he doesn’t care as much about that stuff. But at least the “It’s Up” MC has the support of folks like Steph through and through, as overblown and exaggerated as this Bron beef likely is.
