Off the Record

Young Nudy Had No Interest In Answering DJ Akademiks’ Question: Watch

by

Young Nudy is an artist of few words. Although he has a huge presence in his songs, in interviews, he takes a more quiet approach. This is certainly fair and not a rare quality amongst artists across all genres. While someone can be famous, they can still be quite camera-shy. Moreover, there are lots of people out there who just hate talking about themselves. Overall, this can be hard to overcome, regardless of how many interviews you do. That said, sometimes it can be hard for the interviewer to find some common ground.

DJ Akademiks found that out the hard way recently as he had Young Nudy and Baby Drill on the latest episode of Off The Record. The interview is starting to make its way to Instagram and other social media platforms. In a post from Akademiks on IG, you can see one clip that he felt was particularly interesting. Below, you will see how Ak asks Nudy and Baby Drill who their favorite artists are, other than themselves. Both artists barely answer, although Nudy lets out that he likes Baby Drill and 21 Savage.

Young Nudy x DJ Akademiks

From there, DJ Akademiks tries to be funny by bringing his shades down and asking if Young Nudy raps about real situations. Of course, this is one of those questions that can be interpreted as some sort of trap. Nudy senses this immediately and refuses to answer. He just shakes his head and lets out a bit of a smirk. In Ak’s Instagram captioned, he made light of this non-answer, saying “Mans dem was acting like we were in the interrogation room hollyyy.”

Some fans have been commenting on Ak’s page, saying that they shouldn’t have been interviewed to begin with. However, in this day and age, content is content. Even though they didn’t answer the question, Ak still was able to salvage something. Let us know what you thought of the interview, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the music world.

Elliott Wilson Reveals Why He Apologized To Drake

by

Elliott Wilson is a legend when it comes to the hip-hop media world. He used to be the editor-in-chief over at XXL, and these days, he hosts the Rap Radar Podcast. Overall, Rap Radar is an incredible outlet that has delivered interviews with some of the biggest artists ever. Wilson has interviewed the biggest legends, including the likes of Jay-Z and Drake. However, Wilson found himself at odds with Drizzy following his interview with Bobbi Althoff.

If you remember, Wilson questioned why Drake was seeking interviews with white interviewers who are outside of the culture. Subsequently, Drizzy responded with some remarks about Wilson’s work at Rolling Loud and how he looked like Yes Julz. Eventually, Wilson decided to apologize to Drake which sparked a bit of criticism. Recently, Wilson went on DJ Akademiks’ Off The Record podcast, where he revealed why he opted to apologize. Ultimately, it all has to do with the relationship he cultivated with the artist.

Elliott Wilson Speaks

“People clown people in Hip Hop if they apologize,” Wilson explained. “I apologized to Drake because we have a great rapport. He’s been respectful. He’s given me more interviews than anybody. I’ve had six interviews with him. […] Drake and I built something to the point where I should’ve at least let him know my feelings before I aired it out to the public. I should’ve owed him that respect. I would’ve did it with [Jay-Z], and I owe him that. That’s why I was wrong.”

This is all very interesting when you consider how Althoff is now no longer on good terms with Drake. The two have unfollowed each other and even the interview was taken down. Hopefully, Drizzy has a change of heart soon and decides to do a sitdown with someone like Wilson. There are a lot of things that people want to know from the music side. At this stage in Drake’s career, it would be fascinating to learn more. Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section below.
