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.

Dee-1’s Support Of Kendrick Lamar Leads To Barrage Of Backlash From New Orleans Community

by

This debate between Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne for who deserved Super Bowl honors is starting to get a little too serious. We say that because New Orleans, Louisiana native Dee-1 is getting a lot of hate for his support of the former. As you are all aware by now, the city has been extremely upset with their hometown hero not receiving the honors. Obviously, no one likes seeing Weezy upset as he was in his first public address since the announcement. But some people are taking their anger too far to where they want to ban and warn residents of NOLA like Dee-1 to never come back home.

That’s just some of the backlash the Christian rapper has been receiving, according to HipHopDX. Dee-1 shared a compilation accompanied by a voice-over detailing what he’s been dealing with since showing K-Dot love. “This is why you should never love your city more than you love God. So, Kendrick Lamar shouted me out in his new song and honestly, it’s been life-changing already in the past 24 hours. That’s the elevation. At the same time comes the condemnation”, he begins.

A post shared by Dee-1 (@dee1music)

“So now they got people – because they mad at my opinion at who should perform at the Super Bowl – so now they making diss tracks about me. They got people saying I’m canceled from the city. They got people saying I better not come back to the city. People I’m cool with making videos mad at what I’m standing on, when it’s the same thing I been standing on since y’all met me”. However, even though Dee-1 is being bombarded, he’s not going to let that change him. “Thankfully, I’m just gon’ keep being me, keep serving God. That’s what got me here. And Imma just be thankful for every part that comes along with this journey, no matter what it entails”.

What are your thoughts on Dee-1 getting all of this backlash for supporting Kendrick Lamar during the Super Bowl debate? Who was more valid, Dee-1 or the city of New Orleans? Do you think people are blowing this out of proportion overall? 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 Dee-1, Kendrick Lamar, and the Super Bowl.

Playboi Carti Clarifies Controversial Album Cover

by

There are far too many questions about Playboi Carti’s upcoming album I AM MUSIC right now, which we’re sure will all be answered by at least 2076. Jokes aside, even though we don’t know much about the release date, this official rollout has fans feeling quite hopeful. But it doesn’t help that Carti’s social media posts on his Instagram page have sometimes given fans the wrong idea. For example, he posted what seemed to be the cover art for the new project on IG, captioning it with all the usual promo stuff. As you will notice immediately in the post below, this artwork is an homage to Lil Wayne’s Dedication mixtape series.

However, Playboi Carti clarified via his Instagram Story this weekend that this cover art is not the official artwork for I AM MUSIC. Most fans exhaled a sigh of relief at this, as they preferred an original concept or just something that was more aesthetically pleasing. Either way, they’re happy to bump the new single “ALL RED” and eagerly await what’s to come. Still, this Lil Wayne connection arrived at an interesting time…

Playboi Carti’s Dedication Homage Isn’t The Official I AM MUSIC Cover

If you’re reading this from under a rock, Lil Wayne was at the center of controversy when Kendrick Lamar announced his Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans next year. Many feel like Weezy deserved it instead since he’s actually from the city, but he admitted that he set himself up for disappointment with the illusion of the opportunity. As such, fans feel pretty split about it, especially with K.Dot’s Drake battle in the background and the complex history between the Roc and Cash Money. Maybe Playboi Carti subtly offered his take on this whole thing, or this is just a perfectly timed coincidence.

Meanwhile, Playboi Carti recently responded to Adin Ross’ positive reaction to his new song “ALL RED.” “@adinross YOU AINT GOT TO LIKE ME BUT I RESPECT YOU KEEPING IT REAL ABOUT MY MUSIC SOME S**T JUST UNDENIABLE,” he wrote as the caption to a screenshot of Ross’ recent livestream. Let’s see if the official album cover for I AM MUSIC – whenever it drops – is also undeniable.

Lil Tjay’s Attorney Addresses Gang Indictment Rumors

by

Yesterday, rumors that Lil Tjay was named in a federal gang indictment began to spread like wildfire. It was reported that he and roughly 20 others were accused of being members of the $laughtery Gang, and allegedly responsible for 14 shootings in the Bronx. Footage of authorities raiding what was referred to as a “criminal commune” in a Bronx apartment also surfaced online. The raid resulted in eight arrests.

Of course, these rumors had fans concerned, but Lil Tjay’s legal counsel recently took to social media to shut them down. Yesterday, the performer’s attorney Dawn Florio shared a statement regarding the rumors, confirming that they’re not true. “We are aware of several news outlets that have shared false information regarding his legal matters, and we wish to address these inaccuracies,” the statement begins.

Dawn Florio Confirms That Lil Tjay Was Not Named In Gang Indictment

“We urge all media outlets to exercise caution and ensure proper due diligence before publishing speculative or unfounded claims. Reporting inaccurate information not only damages reputations but misleads the public,” it continues. “At this time, we will not be offering further comment on the situation.” While Lil Tjay’s supporters are certainly relieved now that this has been cleared up, some others may not be. Amid rumors that he was named in the indictment, 6ix9ine hopped online to share what many think was a response.

The post in question was a simple black screen on his Instagram Story, flooded with laughing emojis. Lil Tjay just gifted 6ix9ine’s ex-girlfriend a chain shortly after their breakup, which could explain the animosity. What do you think of Lil Tjay’s attorney shutting down rumors that he was named in a federal gang indictment? Are you surprised that these rumors weren’t debunked sooner than they were? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Rod Wave Previews Drake Collab: “GOAT”

by

Fans of Rod Wave are probably pretty familiar with his love of Drake, and their musical similarities are easy to identify. They both can deliver soulful vocals over melancholy atmospheres, and they’ve had some chances to link up in the past. Now, it seems like those opportunities finally manifested themselves into something concrete. Moreover, Wave recently previewed a new song with the 6ix God on his Instagram Story, captioning it with a goat emoji and a turtle emoji. The Toronto superstar flows mellowly over a drill-inspired instrumental and croons about even best friends having to end sometimes. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Before we get ahead of ourselves, though, do we really need to tie these lyrics into the great rap beef of 2024 yet again? We don’t think so. Beyond that, it’s just exciting to see these two artists work together in their new eras, as it seems like this might land on Rod Wave’s next album. As for Drake, this new tease indicates that he’s still putting in a lot of work for the rest of the year, so we’ll see what other updates emerge on that. After all, OVO die-hards apparently have a PARTYNEXTDOOR collab album to look forward to from The Boy.

Rod Wave X Drake On The Way

“I’ve been watching that boy for a long a** time,” Rod Wave expressed on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game. “Since a juvenile, that’s really the one. Everybody else, I done met them, I done worked with them. It might change over time, but Ed Sheeran and Drake, I got to f**k with Drake. I know bro super busy. That s**t would be crazy. I don’t even gotta do a song, I just want to meet bro. This music is my life and how I be feeling, my music is different.” Then, Gillie and Wallo called Aubrey’s team to have them link up again.

“Yeah, I [was] supposed to be on that [Lemon Pepper Freestyle] but I didn’t like how my verse came out. So I kind of scratched it,” Rod Wave had previously stated. “I didn’t like how my voice came out and you know with a Drake feature, you don’t want to, you know what I’m saying? It’s like my first thing, it’s a big deal, have to come with it, you know what I’m saying? All that. I kind of had got cold feet, so kind of shook me up a little bit. So I was like, don’t worry about it.”

Playboi Carti Responds To Adin Ross’ Reaction To His New Song “ALL RED”

by

Playboi Carti and Adin Ross have a pretty complicated relationship these days. This is because of their disastrous livestream from back in February that allegedly cost the streamer $2 million for just about ten minutes of very limited conversation with the Atlanta creative. Since then, Ross hasn’t been very pro-Carti. That being said, feelings change over time, and the new hype behind his I AM MUSIC album rollout could change this dynamic somewhat. Moreover, the Kick giant’s reaction to the new track “ALL RED” shows that he can separate his personal experiences with the artist from his enjoyment of the music itself.

“Nah, this s**t hard, though,” Adin Ross said at one point of his recent livestream, and Playboi Carti even responded to this via his Instagram account. “@adinross YOU AINT GOT TO LIKE ME BUT I RESPECT YOU KEEPING IT REAL ABOUT MY MUSIC SOME S**T JUST UNDENIABLE,” he captioned a post of a screenshot of Ross’ stream. Carti’s new track wasn’t as well received by everyone, though, but the social media personality’s short words on the subject actually sum up the general consensus quite well.

Playboi Carti Respects Adin Ross’ “ALL RED” Reaction

However, “ALL RED” also resulted in some legitimate confusion, albeit mostly critical comparisons. Fans couldn’t tell whether or not this was a new Playboi Carti song or a new Future track, pointing out the vocal and flow similarities between both rappers. Carti’s usually someone who pulls from his own unique arsenal of voices, but this deep-voiced experimentation might be his riskiest vocal move yet. Either way, there are plenty of other fans who love this style and how it’s evolved from early displays like “FE!N.” Actually, it’s wild to think how little time it took for this to become a trademark sound in the King Vamp catalog.

Nevertheless, if you still feel like he sounds like Future, we understand. Regardless, Adin Ross’ reaction to “ALL RED” shows that things don’t always have to stay personal, resulting in mutual respect. Elsewhere, Playboi Carti also hyped up more collaborations with Kanye West on I AM MUSIC (or just MUSIC? We’ll find out…). There’s a lot to express excitement over these days, so let’s just be patient for what’s to come.
