Lil Baby Doesn’t Want His Kids To Be Online Despite Their Mothers’ Wishes

by

Lil Baby recently stopped by Lil Yachty’s podcast, A Safe Place, to talk about a whole lot of topics, including his upcoming albums for 2025. However, one of the more revealing and curious parts of the interview came when they discussed parenthood on social media, particularly the question of showing your kids off online. Baby isn’t really a big fan of this practice, despite his children’s mothers posting some of their kids online. However, he also made it clear that he talks with his sons about these topics to make sure that the online narratives don’t intrude on their well-being.

“I feel like the Internet is a crazy place,” Lil Baby remarked when asked about narratives around his parenting and his children on the Internet. “And if it was up to me, I wouldn’t put my children on the Internet for real, you know what I’m saying? But it is what it is. What I will say is, like, I’m from a different cloth. So certain s**t I don’t even play about. Nobody gon’ make a comment that they make on the Internet around me, never. It’s, like, I can’t really beat the Internet. So once I learned that, a lot of s**t bothered me when I see certain s**t, but it’s to the point where I’m so numb and void, I just tune it out.

Lil Baby Speaks On His Children & The Internet

“I had them personal talks with my kids,” Lil Baby continued. “Like, I explained some s**t to my sons, both of them. I could be recording them all day and putting them on the Internet. If it was up to me, I would go without having my children on the Internet, period. [The lack of control over that] don’t really bother me, it’s just, like, what I got to deal with. […] ‘Cause I’m just raw and uncut with them. But I’m saying, that’s the stuff we talk about. That’s what I talk to my sons about: when y’all in school, how to carry yourself, when y’all out, when people say certain stuff, when people do certain stuff. I have those real conversations, like, no edit.

“‘Cause it ain’t even no age,” Lil Baby concluded. “Jason nine, he damn near know everything I know. And Loyal, too. They got the Internet. I can’t even beat around the bush. Jason asking me the wildest s**t in the world. Loyal asking me the wildest s**t in the world. I got to tell them how it go. Especially seeing me too, because I’m not really too tough trying to hide.”

Multiple Songs From Lil Uzi Vert’s “Barter 16” Leak Online

by

As if Pink Tape‘s long-awaited release this year wasn’t enough, Lil Uzi Vert is keeping their hype train going. Moreover, fans are incredibly excited for the release of their new mixtape Barter 16, not just for the Young Thug homage, but for well-received snippets from it amid Pink Tape‘s pretty positive reception. It was unclear when exactly we would get this drop, but Uzi said it would be quite soon. However, a new development online puts the entire project’s release altogether in jeopardy, and fans expressed fear that there would be another tragedy on their hands. Once again, leak culture is threatening official releases.

Furthermore, Twitter went ablaze recently when multiple songs from Barter 16 apparently leaked online. Some of them have low audio quality, whereas others you might find around (not here, though) are crisp and clear. There’s even one particular track floating around that has a Thugger feature, and fans can’t wait to see Lil Uzi Vert show off some great chemistry with him. Still, with these leaks in mind, that might not even be a reality, or at least, it might be a very delayed one. In fact, one account in particular claimed the whole album will leak tonight (August 19).

Lil Uzi Vert’s Barter 16 Leaks Send Fans Into Frenzy

Of course, leaks are nothing new in hip-hop, affecting everyone from its biggest superstars to its underground but still buzzed-about talent. Many artists in the past have spoken out against leak culture, or at least addressed it as an obstacle to overcome. Through those testimonies, we can see that leaks can actually affect the industry and release schedules in a very significant way. In addition, there’s also the question of how it delays projects for a long time, as albums like Whole Lotta Red exemplify. Playboi Carti has one of the most extensive leaked discographies, and Lil Uzi Vert isn’t far behind.

Meanwhile, given that the Philly star recently shared Barter 16‘s cover art, we seem so close to its release. Considering that, hopefully the project can still release with a lot of excitement and with a huge impact. It would be a shame if Uzi’s second album of 2023 gets squandered by impatient Internet sleuths. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Uzi Vert, check back in with HNHH.

Gunna Keeps Stunning Fans With Weight Loss In Newly Surfaced Picture

by

Yet another recent picture of Gunna surfaced online, and people are still blown away by his weight loss journey. Perhaps that’s reading too deeply into it, as we don’t know if he’s exactly proud of it or if it came as a result of more negative circumstances. Regardless, fans are excited about these new sightings, mostly because they want him to drop new music already. Considering his stint in prison and subsequent controversial plea deal, it wouldn’t be surprising if he waits even more. However, given recent hints straight from the College Park MC himself, maybe that won’t be the case.

Moreover, the Drip Season artist recently replied to a fan’s post on Instagram that asked what many fans are also wondering. “Gunna where tf are you?” the picture’s text read. “I’m OTW [blue “P” emoji],” he replied in the comments section. As such, maybe that was the unofficial start of a soon-to-come rollout for a new single, project, or something else entirely. What’s more is that other reports indicate that he’ll be switching things up quite drastically.

New Picture Of Gunna Surfaces Online

For example, DJ Akademiks claimed that Gunna wants out of his deal with YSL and has a whole new album ready to drop. According to the media personality, the 29-year-old wants to drop already but doesn’t have anyone in his corner to help him do so. As a result, he’s apparently looking to bring his efforts elsewhere and might be patiently waiting on how Young Thug and YSL’s RICO case develops. Whatever the case, it’s certainly a sticky situation for him, as others in the industry have already cut their ties with him in one way or another.

Still, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a rabid fanbase that is ready to hear him whenever he does release new music. While his relationship with YSL is unclear, it seems like a lot of his hardcore fans want to hear him regardless. After all, the legal battle he escaped, however wrongfully, is something that fans don’t want to hear pop up in their playlists. If they do, it’s purely to gaggle at the spectacle. Hopefully that’s not the route he goes down (if any), and doesn’t make money at the expense of his former crew. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Gunna.

Unreleased Kanye West Song From “808s & Heartbreak” Sessions Surfaces Online

by

An unreleased Kanye West song, supposedly from the 808s & Heartbreak sessions, just surfaced online. Of course, it’s impossible to confirm for sure that it came from those sessions, but there are some strong hints. Any superfans of the cult classic album know that the autotune and cold, minimal beat on here is classic 808s. Moreover, the track is titled “I’ll Be Alright” on SoundCloud, and you can tell Kanye laid down some reference mumbled vocals to work on later. After all, he’s prone to release reference tracks as verses or full songs of his own, and he might have the most revered leaked discography in the game.

For example, his album Yandhi preceded the fan disappointment Jesus Is King, and those tracks never saw the light of day. Well, most of them at least, as “Use This Gospel” and “Selah” landed on the aforementioned album, whereas “Hurricane” landed on Donda. As such, it’s never out of the question to think a Ye leak could eventually manifest into something larger. While a lot of people criticized the Chicago rapper mumbling over his tracks for years, it’s no secret that the production carries that expressive delivery on its shoulders.

Kanye West’s Unreleased “808s” Era Song Sees Light Of Day

Still, it’s a bit hard to enjoy a track from the Yeezy mogul these days given his bigoted and hostile rhetoric. Following multiple instances of antisemitic comments, exclusionary statements, and media meltdowns, public favor of West dwindled to an all-time low. However, many of those who feel the strongest about his deplorable behavior are some of his biggest fans. As such, it’s become interesting to look at Kanye’s music almost as a point against him, or a comparison to himself that makes his past and current values contradict.

Meanwhile, the 45-year-old’s been relatively off of that media cycle for the past few months. Conversation around him hasn’t dwindled, but much of it surrounds his marriage and outings with Bianca Censori. They had a few notable paparazzi run-ins recently, some more hostile than others. Overall, hopefully less photographers and media following him will allow for the internal reflection and healing that many think will suit him best. Regardless, check out “I’ll Be Alright” above and return to HNHH for the latest news and updates from afar on Kanye West.
