Lil Tay Undergoes Open-Heart Surgery For “Life-Threatening” Tumor

by

Earlier this week, Lil Tay’s fans grew concerned when her Twitter/X account shared various worrisome messages. The person running the account shared that she was in the ICU for a “life-threatening” health issue, which they later revealed to be a heart tumor. Unfortunately, some social media users were hesitant to believe the account’s claims. This is largely due to her death hoax last year, which was allegedly orchestrated by her father.

Now, however, it’s been revealed that she recently had open heart surgery. “We are overjoyed to share that Tay’s open-heart surgery was a great success! We are deeply thankful to her surgeon, cardiologist and the team who are the best in the world! Thank you for the love, prayers, and positive energy you have all sent her way,” they captioned a clip of Lil Tay lying in a hospital bed today. “Thank you for your continued support. We are off to a great start on the road to recovery.”

Lil Tay’s Team Delivers Update After Her Heart Surgery

The account went on to address the aforementioned death hoax, clarifying that Lil Tay and her mother were not behind it. Instead, they alleged that her father “was the person who hacked into her Instagram account and faked her death as a last attempt to ruin her reputation after losing the court battle over her career and custody.” They added that Lil Tay and her mother “have nothing to do” with her father at this point.

Fans are flooding the internet personality with supportive messages as she continues to recover from the major surgery. What do you think of Lil Tay undergoing heart surgery? What about some fans refusing to believe she was actually going through a health emergency due to her past death hoax?

GloRilla Announces Debut Album And It’s Coming Very Soon

by

GloRilla has being seeing a lot of success in 2024, but she’s about to see even more when she releases her debut album. According to HipHopDX, the Memphis rapper revealed this bombshell while on the red carpet of the MTV VMAs this past Wednesday. She spoke with Extra TV and spilled the beans pretty much immediately. “I’m dropping an album next month, in October”, she began. In fact, she’s so excited and confident about this next project that she’s already declaring it’s going to be a chart topper. “I’m so excited about that. We gon’ go number one!”.

Furthermore, Big Glo gave the interviewer a small hint about the direction in terms of the title. “It start with a G”, she said. For now, that’s about all we know about the “Yeah Glo!” hitmaker’s debut. However, there’s always some things we can speculate on. For starters, we can probably assume that “TGIF”, her most recent release, will go on to serve as the lead single.

GloRilla Says Her Debut Will Be Out In October

Furthermore, we can probably bet that she will drop at least one or two more tracks ahead of its release. One of them could be the song she previewed on her social media that led to some heavy backlash based on its original use of the R-word. If you remember, she did wind up changing the lyrics and a potential title for it is “Hol’ On”. For now though, we are excited that the debut is on the way soon and we cannot wait to see what’s in store.

What are your thoughts on GloRilla announcing her debut album? Do you think this will be her strongest project yet? Is Ehhthang Ehhthang still in your rotation? Out of all of the female rappers, is she having the best year of them all? 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 GloRilla. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Eminem Fans Let Down By Lack Of Alchemist Beats On “The Death Of Slim Shady” Deluxe

by

Yesterday, Eminem unveiled The Death Of Slim Shady: Expanded Mourner’s Edition. The project boasts two brand-new tracks and a new skit. It even features a remix of “Fuel,” which includes several new and scathing Diddy disses. For the most part, fans are feeling the deluxe edition of Em’s latest album. They’ve been quick to point out, however, that none of the new tracks were produced by The Alchemist.

The Alchemist appeared in the trailer for the Expanded Mourner’s Edition of the LP, which Eminem dropped earlier this week. Of course, this led to speculation that he’d be a contributor, although this was never confirmed. Regardless, some fans are disappointed that the project arrives with no beats by the legendary producer, and questioning why he appeared in the trailer at all.

“Be Eminem’s promotion team: Film a whole trailer with The Alchemist in it, teasing songs produced by him. Proceed to drop one remix of a song that already dropped and two songs that were exclusive [face palm emoji],” one social media user writes. “Bro where is Alchemist production? You keep playing with my emotions,” another says. “@Eminem @rosenberg Why trailer with Alchemist and all that promo for 1 remix ? I don’t understand,” someone else claims.

New music isn’t the only thing Eminem is making headlines for these days, however. Earlier this week, he performed at the VMAs, throwing it back with a recreation of his iconic “The Real Slim Shady” performance from the 2000 awards show. What do you think of The Death Of Slim Shady: Expanded Mourner’s Edition? What about the new additions not featuring production by The Alchemist, despite him appearing in the trailer? Are you disappointed by this or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

NLE Choppa Is Livid Over Complex’s Best Rappers In Their 20s List

by

Complex recently put out yet another hotly debated list of the 20 best rappers in their 20s right now, and the hot takes and backlash flowed like boiling water. However, for all the outraged fan reactions and discussions, it seems like no one took this list more personally and seriously than NLE Choppa. He recently took to social media to vent about his exclusion from the list, although he made it clear that he did not mean to disrespect anyone on it or discredit their deservedness. The Memphis native flaunted about his success at a very, very young age, and posited that there are very few people in his space that are reaching the highs that he is.

Of course, whether or not you agree is up to you, but NLE Choppa feels like the publication should’ve made a 21 best rappers list as to not boot him off, since he feels as deserving of praise as his peers. Still, we doubt that this will slow him down in any way. The 21-year-old has done a great job of battling bigots who are mad at his support of the LGBTQIA+ community. Some queer-baiting accusations followed, but that’s just part of the industry promo machine.

NLE Choppa Rants Against Complex‘s Best Rappers In Their 20s List

Elsewhere during the clip above, NLE Choppa also hinted at big things coming from him in October once he wraps up this current era. For those unaware, his latest contribution to it is “SLUT ME OUT 3” with Carey Washington. Not only does the track provide a sonic switch-up from previous installments, but it’s also somehow dirtier than ever. We’ll see whether or not these next releases follow these footsteps, go back to tried and true formulas, or bring something else entirely to the table as a new approach.

We’re sure that many rappers in their 20s probably feel like NLE Choppa to a certain degree. But he has a unique penchant for boldly standing tall against criticism. For example, Choppa recently turned heads with some curious style choices at New York Fashion Week, but he had a great time all the same. Let us know whether you’d put him in your top 20 rappers in their 20s list down in the comments section below.

DJ Hed Has A Hot Take About Kendrick Lamar & Lil Wayne Super Bowl Controversy

by

During an interview with The Shade Room, DJ Hed gave his definitive take on the Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne Super Bowl debacle. “I mean, I don’t like the comparisons,” he began. “I don’t like the negativity around it, I don’t think it’s needed. For people who are completely self-absorbed and people who are selfish in a certain way – ‘Cause it’s The Shade Room: I’m not talking about Nicki, Drake, Stunna or nobody like that. I’m just saying that the Internet and the fans and people cause these types of disruptions. I think it’s unfair taking away from people’s moments.

“When you look at Lil Wayne, Lil Wayne is one of them ones in a real way,” DJ Hed continued. “This is not to diminish his legacy or take away from anything that he’s done culturally or musically. He’s a legend. All of these dudes is his sons. That’s a fact, right? So because all of these dudes is his sons, I think he’s owed that respect. However, the Super Bowl performance has never been indicative of geography. That just recently became a thing because of cultural awareness.

DJ Hed Speaks On Kendrick Lamar & Lil Wayne Debate

“We’ve all been in rooms where we’re the only person who looked like us in those rooms,” DJ Hed went on. “So whenever you’re in these situations, I think you have an opportunity to speak culturally. When you look at what’s happening recently with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg at the Super Bowl, that was more or less curation. Being culturally aware. ‘Hey, this might be a good idea. Rappers have never been at the forefront, or hip-hop has never been at the forefront on a stage like this.’

“I don’t think it’s about geography,” DJ Hed concluded. “Just ’cause it’s in Atlanta doesn’t mean Future is the one that needs to perform. Just because it’s in Detroit doesn’t mean that Eminem needs to perform. The teams who are playing, who earned the right to compete in the Super Bowl with no round twos, those teams are not even from the city that they are playing in. So I don’t like that mixed messaging that people are conflating the two. Also, if you want to keep it real, who’s had a better year than Dot at this point?“

Megan Thee Stallion Drops Mystical Trailer For “Megan: Act 2”

by

It’s been a busy week for Megan Thee Stallion, and recently, she decided to end it with an exciting announcement. Yesterday, the “Hiss” performer took to Instagram to announce the second installment of Megan. In the mystical teaser, Meg takes on the form of a butterfly. “Stay tuned hotties,” she captioned the post.

Obviously, the Hotties are very much tuned in, and can’t wait to see what else Meg has up her sleeve. For now, it remains unclear exactly when they can expect to hear Megan: Act 2, though they’re hopeful it’ll be sooner rather than later. The first installment of the album was unleashed in June of this year, shortly after she embarked on her “Hot Girl Summer” tour.

Megan Thee Stallion Prepares To Unleash Second Installment Of Megan

The news arrived just after Meg hosted the VMAs this week, paying homage to both Beyonce and Britney Spears with two of her looks, as well as a yellow python. It also follows the release of her new track with RM of BTS, “Neva Play.” She also teamed up with Travis Kelce and other NFL players for a Pepsi ad earlier this month, which featured her remix of Queen’s 1977 hit “We Will Rock You.” Aside from all of these major developments in her career, Meg has also been making headlines for her relationship with the Chicago Bulls’ Torrey Craig.

She seemingly hard-launched her relationship with the NBA star late last month with a fun and since-deleted TikTok video. They were also spotted together in New York City last weekend, further fueling the rumors that they’re an item. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion teasing the second act of her third album, Megan? Are you looking forward to it?

Woman’s Young Thug Tribute Sparks Relationship Rumors As Fans Tag Mariah The Scientist

by

Since Young Thug is unfortunately still behind bars, we can’t really get many life updates from him that fall outside of his RICO case alongside YSL. As such, whenever they do allegedly pop up, they always have to come accompanied by a huge grain of salt. The latest example of this is an Instagram tribute to Thugger from a woman named Daisy, writing “Free Jeffery” and a rendition of a snake in a pool full of flowers. Of course, this prompted a whole lot of relationship rumors and speculation that he had another woman in his life that wasn’t his girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist.

As such, fans tagged Mariah in this post incessantly, but this is all too unclear and vague to really call either way. We know that Young Thug has had many partners in the past, and it’s impossible to know who he’s still in contact with. The last development that we got concerning his RICO case is DJ Akademiks’ belief that he will be found guilty. Other than that and other social media discussions, not much has happened over the past week or so.

Young Thug Tribute Has Fans Asking Mariah The Scientist To Explain

However, no matter how much or how little happens in court, we know that Mariah The Scientist has always been there to support Young Thug through it all. In fact, she even formed part of a big development in this story when a jail call between the couple leaked online. They were very flirtatious during it, leading to a lot of memes on social media. Still, both took it in stride, and we haven’t gotten a whole lot of new information on their bond since then beyond Mariah’s recent court appearance to support her boo.

We’ll see what happens with Daisy and whether or not there’s some spicy tea to uncover. The most likely scenario is that we’re just exaggerating and reading too deeply into this… But you never know. Meanwhile, Young Thug also made sure to express his support to other Black men who faced controversial run-ins with the law. He recently tweeted out his support for Tyreek Hill after his viral detainment right before a Miami Dolphins game.
