50 Cent has numerous hits in his catalog. In fact, he almost has too many hits to even count. However, one of his most massive songs, “Many Men,” is currently seeing new life. Overall, from a pop culture perspective, this track has always been prominent. Although certain real-life situations will arise that help bolster the track’s popularity. That has ultimately been the case with the thwarted assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
During a rally on Saturday, Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to take the life of the former President. While a bullet did hit Trump’s ear, the Presidential candidate was not seriously injured. Crooks on the other hand, was immediately killed by Secret Service agents. Since that time, “Many Men” has been used in various Trump edits and memes. Simply put, people believe the song can be used in the context of what happened to Trump. There is even speculation that Trump could use the song at a rally.
In a new report, it was revealed that streams for “Many Men” have gone up by 250 percent in the last few days or so. We also reported on how the song was climbing up some Spotify and Apple Music charts. It just goes to show that Fif has some timeless music in his catalog. Not to mention, he stands to make a whole lot of money from a situation that doesn’t even involve him.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake recently engaged in one of the most legendary rap feuds of all time. Overall, it was a beef that no one saw coming heading into 2024. However, with the “Like That” verse, Kendrick showed the world that he meant serious business. He was no longer going to settle for being part of the Big Three. Instead, he wanted the crown to himself, and the only one willing to challenge him for it was none other than Drake. Well, after May 4th, it became clear that Kendrick was the true heir to the crown as he put up a truly monumental performance.
On April 30th, Kendrick Lamar dropped off his first true diss track against Drake. “Euphoria” came out in the morning and it shocked the world. It was filled with scathing bars directed at Drake, and although it didn’t contain a hook, it made a massive impression. Numerous lines stayed stuck in people’s minds and even today, fans cannot help but blurt out lines at inopportune times. In fact, the song proved to be such a success for Kendrick that it is now platinum.
So far, Kendrick has three platinum songs in 2024. All of these songs are the quickest rap songs to go platinum this year. Those three tracks would be “Euphoria,” “Like That,” and “Not Like Us.” This has been an incredibly successful year for the legend, and now there is chatter that he is dropping an album. If he were to do so, it would definitely be one of the biggest releases of the entire year. Hopefully, those rumors turn into reality.
Let us know what you think of “Euphoria,” in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this was the best diss track in the entire saga? If not, where would you rank it amongst some of the other songs we got out of the Drake and Kendrick feud? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us” continues to see major success, quickly becoming a fan favorite after dropping earlier this month. Arguably the most successful track of their entire lyrical battle, “Not Like Us” sees Kendrick accuse Drake of being a pedophile, coin his iconic “A minor” bar, and much more. Its significance in the viral beef has translated into streams and sales too. It broke multiple records in the weeks following its release.
“Not Like Us” debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in just five days of tracking. It also moved a million units in only 12 days. It was the fastest song to do so this year, coming in ahead of hits from the likes of megastars like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and more. Of course, this has left fans curious just how much cash Kendrick has been able to earn with the song.
Reportedly, it generated roughly $280K in its first week and broke Drake’s record for most streams in 24 hours. The song continues to excel commercially, raking in $317K from streams alone this week, according to a new Tweet from DJ Akademiks. It’s now the second-highest-grossing song of the week. Aside from providing K-Dot with a sizable chunk of change, “Not Like Us” has also become synonymous with his explosive feud with Drake, something fans will associate with both of them for years to come.
The song has been co-signed by several of Kendrick’s high-profile peers too, including Billie Eilish, Isaiah Rashad, and more. It even inspired DaBaby to show off some of his own writing skills this week, as he delivered a praise-worthy freestyle over the track. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us” continuing to rake in earnings? What about it being the second-highest-grossing song this week? Are you surprised, or not?

Gunna is an artist who can be described as “consistent.” Overall, he typically drops at least one project every year. Those projects seem to be massive successes, as we saw with a gift & a curse. Some outlets even said that it was the best hip-hop project of that year. Although we respectfully disagree, it still made out year-end list, and for obvious reasons. Just a couple of weeks ago, Gunna came through with his latest project, One Of Wun. The album already has some viral singles, and fans are loving it.
Throughout the last week, HitsDailyDouble has come through with numerous sales projections for the album’s first week. Interestingly enough, the album wasn’t projected to do great at first. The OG projection was 65K which is 20K less than what a gift & a curse did. However, throughout the week, that number increased steadily but surely. The most recent update had the first week sales at 83K. Well, the final numbers are in, and once again, Gunna outperformed what was expected.
One of Wun has officially sold 91K units in its first week. Typically, that would be enough to be the number-one album. Unfortunately, Taylor Swift has taken over thanks to her numerous digital versions of The Tortured Poets Department. Having said that, Gunna will debut at number two, which is nothing to turn your head at. It is clear that fans are feeling Gunna’s music right now, and it’s reflecting in the sales.
Let us know what you thought of One of Wun, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is one of Gunna’s best projects to date? Do you think that this is likely going to go down as one of the best projects of the entire year? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Kendrick Lamar is easily one of the biggest artists in the world, and the last couple of weeks have certainly proved that. Overall, it can be easy to forget Lamar’s chart dominance as he takes a decent amount of time between projects. However, throughout his beef with Drake, he has been dropping a plethora of songs that are doing extremely well on the charts. For instance, “Not Like Us” is the biggest song in the world. Furthermore, “Euphoria” is currently third on the charts, with “Meet The Grahams” coming at number 12.
Throughout the past week, “Not Like Us” has broken a plethora of Spotify streaming records. It broke some of Drake’s longstanding records, and it was also the fastest track to hit over 100 million streams. Despite this being a diss record, it has a ton of replayability, with Lamar beating Drizzy at his very own game. According to DJ Akademiks, this song has certainly led to a lot of financial success for Kendrick. In fact, in the first week of its release, “Not Like Us” has brought in a total of $280K. Of course, this is an estimation based on sales numbers and the fact that the song is already eligible for Gold certification.
By now, everyone has probably already heard this song. However, with the summer on the horizon, fans will be hearing it a whole lot more. This is going to be one of those anthems that will be impossible to escape. That is especially true for Drake, whose music has always been club-friendly. Now, fans await a new album from Kendrick which may or may not be dropping later this year.
Let us know what you think of Kendrick Lamar and his newest anthem, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is one of the best songs of the year? How much have you been playing this song since it was released back on May 4th? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

With his last six album releases, J Cole has confidently held onto the Billboard 200 album chart’s No. 1 spot. When it came time to drop his Might Delete Later project earlier this month, however, he had some serious competition from Beyonce, whose dive into country is continuing to do numbers even after its first week out. Upon arriving on DSPs, COWBOY CARTER became the best-selling record of 2024 so far, moving upwards of 400K units.
Though it was initially expected to come in at No. 2, it looks like Queen B has nabbed the top spot on the chart again this week, bumping Cole’s work down to second. As HipHopDX notes, the surprise mixtape brought in 115K album equivalent units over the past few days, which is still impressive, even if it ends his over 10-year streak. 2011’s Cole World: The Sideline Story was the first of the MC’s LP’s to go No. 1, and 2021’s The Off-Season marks the last time he achieved the accolade. Besides his solo efforts, the Dreamville compilation tape, Revenge of the Dreamers III became a chart-topper in 2019, making it the label head’s seventh overall.
J Cole Was Heading for Billboard’s No. 1, but Bey Ultimately Beat Him

The loss is likely tough for the father of two, but he and Bey have previously collaborated so we’re hoping there’s no bad blood. In 2011, Cole joined the Houston native to remix “Party,” which he revealed he was initially supposed to be on the original version of. “Just the fact to even be on the song with her and shoot the video with her and just be in her presence. She’s such a hard-working, incredible artist,” he said on the Rise & Grind Morning Show last year.
The men of hip-hop have been feuding non-stop in recent weeks, and though he’s usually a peaceful person, even J Cole found himself in the middle of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s drama. However, after coming for K-Dot on “7 Minute Drill,” the North Carolina native ultimately left the diss track off his Might Delete Later project, though it still landed on the Billboard Hot 100. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.
Beyonce is one of the biggest stars in the music world. Overall, one could make the argument that she is the biggest popstar of all time. At this point, she has made a foray into various different genres. All of these efforts have proven to be massively successful, and she is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. At least not anytime soon. For instance, she recently came through with a pair of tracks called “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.” Both of these releases are country songs, and it is clear that this will be the direction of Bey’s new album.
Although not everyone is sold on this new venture into country, it appears as though there are plenty of fans who are excited by this. Throughout the past week or so, both songs have topped Spotify and Apple Music charts. According to the new Billboard chart updates, Bey has just hit a massive and historic new milestone. She is now the first black woman to top the country music songs chart. “Texas Hold ‘Em” is the song that did it, as “16 Carriages” found itself in 9th. In fact, “Texas Hold ‘Em” is the second biggest song in the world, slotting in behind Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me.”
The country music establishment has not been extremely receptive to Beyonce’s recent efforts. Some artists have told her to go back to pop, while others have been a bit more coded in their language. Ultimately, it seems like some of these artists feel threatened. Beyonce is the biggest artist in the world and when she drops her country album, it will become the largest country release of the entire year. Hopefully, we get to hear more new music from Beyonce, very soon.

Jay-Z is easily one of the biggest rappers of all-time. Furthermore, he is the greatest hip-hop artist ever, in the minds of many. He has quite a few classic projects at this point. His last album, 4:44, was a modern classic that a lot of people feel very strongly about. At this point, Jay continues to grow as an artist, and it has been pretty amazing to watch. Consequently, fans are hoping for a new album, sometime soon. However, that has yet to happen and we continue to wait patiently.
On Monday, the legend celebrated his 54th birthday. Now that he is in his mid-50s, it is clear that his priorities have changed. What once used to matter to him doesn’t seem so significant anymore. One of those lesser priorities for him is likely to be the numbers game. Album sales can be a young person’s game a lot of the time. For older artists, there are other barometers of success. However, Jay continues to sell millions of records, regardless. As Roc Nation revealed, Jay picked up 19 new RIAA certifications on his birthday.
These certifications include platinum and gold plaques for some of Jay’s most iconic tracks. In the platinum category, songs like “’03 Bonnie & Clyde,” “Big Pimpin’,” “On To The Next One,” and even “Holy Grail” made the list. As for gold songs, you have tracks such as “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Lucifer,” and even “Heart Of The City.” Needless to say, the man is still wildly successful and that will never change. His music is timeless, and we cannot wait to see what he may do in the near future.
Hopefully, we find out about a new album soon. He has seemingly been dropping some hints, but no one really knows for sure what his intentions are. Let us know your favorite song of his to get a new certification, in the comments section below. Additionally,s tay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

In one of the most eye-popping headlines you will see today, rapper, social media starlet, and OnlyFans model, Bhad Bhabie recently unveiled her earnings. She joined the powerhouse platform in April 2021 and let us just say she did well for herself. A lot of people were apparently eager to see the other side of the now 20-year-old, and she made out big time. Bhabie shared a graphic of how much she made from then, up until November 2021. The Floridian’s biggest month was her debut, bringing in a whopping $18 million.
Over time, she saw a gradual dip in membership purchases. However, at the end of the day for Bhabie, she made more than enough to lift herself out of being broke. In an interview with Emily Ratajkowski on her High Low podcast, she revealed that things were rough for her financially. “I wasn’t really thinking much of it at the time. But I was actually broke as f*** before I started OnlyFans. Like, I was actually broke as f***. I barely had s***.” She continued, “My mom was in control of my money, so she was doing whatever she wanted to do, and I had a $500 limit on my card.”
She made the switch to OF because she was not seeing any money from her music. Now, she is living lavishly once again, and someone cannot fathom how much she made. 42 Dugg caught wind of the news and gave his brief but hilarious reaction to it. No Jumper shared the numbers on their Instagram page and Dugg commented, “Ouu cuz hit ah f*****g lick.” For those who do not know that means she made off with tons of money either by stealing or some other illegal action. Fans in the comments also had a lot to say. One goes, “Bro 18m in one month from OF is why I think the world is coming to an end ”
What are your initial thoughts on 42 Dugg’s reaction to Bhad Bhabie’s OnlyFans earnings? Did you have the same reaction as he did? Is OnlyFans a problem in our society?

The discography of ASAP Rocky albums is small but the numbers in it are anything but. Rocky is one of the most popular rappers today and his status as a celebrity skyrocketed even more when he began his relationship with Rihanna. The sound that he helped introduce was unfamiliar to some — a strong Houston influence that was packaged with New York sensibilities. That sound is all over his best-selling album, LONG. LIVE. ASAP. Rocky’s music has only gotten more daring since, often resulting in mixed reactions. However, LONG. LIVE. ASAP displayed a variety of unique sounds from him and his effortless delivery across it ensured its success.
ASAP Rocky’s Album Was Destined For Success
Released in 2013, LONG. LIVE. A$AP spent one week at #1 on the Billboard charts after debuting with 139,000 units sold in the first week, despite the album leaking a month ahead of time. It has since been certified double platinum by the RIAA, with over two million units sold. Compared to other projects, his 2015 opus, AT. LONG. LAST. A$AP has over 1.2 million units sold to date. His most recent release, 2018’s TESTING was certified Gold by the RIAA in 2019 after moving 500,000 units.
The success of LONG. LIVE. A$AP can certainly be attributed to the album’s singles. For example, “Goldie” became a launching pad for Rocky’s mainstream success, introducing listeners to his groundbreaking sound through its pitched-down vocals and unique melody. Meanwhile, “F**kin Problems” expertly brought Rocky together with 2 Chainz, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar for an undeniable banger. Then, “Wild For The Night”, boasting production from EDM icon Skrillex, brought the dubstep craze of the year to the rap world.
Features & Production: Heavyweights & Emerging Stars
For many people, this stands out among the three albums ASAP Rocky released in his career. Rocky’s production choices were both dreamy and trippy with a specific energy that oozed through each track. Not only did Rocky have production credits himself but Hit-Boy, T-Minus, Danger Mouse and more also contributed to the tracklist. Rocky’s go-to producer, Clams Casino, was behind album standout “LVL,” further cementing their on-wax chemistry together.
“1Train” quickly became a favorite amongst underground rap fans. The posse cut featured Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Danny Brown, Big K.R.I.T, Action Bronson, and Yelawolf. Debates about who had the best verse are still had amongst fans today. Rocky brought something new while still being sure to include elements that were universally loved amongst rap fans.
ASAP Rocky’s Lyrical Aptitude
Like most ASAP Rocky albums, Rocky’s lyricism remained a focal point. His rapid-fire flows — reminiscent of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony — and impressive wordplay kept each track exciting. Meanwhile, Rocky also began further exploring his vocal range which complemented the atmospheric production. Pitched-down vocal effects were already commonplace in his music and this album ensured listeners quickly learned it was one of his trademark techniques.
Beyond his technical prowess and stylistic choices, Rocky’s personality shined across the project, specifically as it pertained to his fashion sensibilities. However, he put the materialistic bars to rest to share moments of his past and other vulnerabilities which gave listeners a glimpse into how he was beyond the music.
This ASAP Rocky album is the second entry in a trilogy of sorts. Its predecessor, the mixtape LIVE. LOVE. A$AP and successor, AT. LONG. LAST. A$AP shares a similarity in title stylization and color choices for the cover. Still, this entry remains the definitive moment in Rocky’s career that took him to the next level of mainstream success. With features from titans in the rap game, a refreshing sound, and an immense amount of confidence, Rocky made sure that he made a statement on his debut. With the album having been released 10 years ago, many listeners have called it a classic. People still have tracks from it in their rotation and some even prefer it over Rocky’s recent music. The album remains as an iconic moment for his listeners and the rap game overall.
