50 Cent & J. Cole Posted Up In Los Angeles In New Pic

September 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

J. Cole and 50 Cent go way back, linking up on wax together on the track “New York Times” along with Bas on Cole’s 2013 album Born Sinner. However, with all the respect they’ve been showing each other as of late, fans hope that we get another collab soon. Moreover, the two recently posted up on social media at Los Angeles, perhaps around the time they hit up Beyoncé’s show. That’s just speculation, but the important thing here is that the skilled MCs are still tight after all these years. They clearly admire each other in different ways, and it’s always great to see two eras of the game converge.

Furthermore, 50 Cent had brought J. Cole out as a special guest during one of his “The Final Lap” shows in Brooklyn. Of course, both seemed to have a great time onstage together, as they celebrated Fif’s career and witnessed the still-in-his-prime phase of the Dreamville spitter. Sure, maybe for some fans out there, it’s hard to imagine their two fanbases converging, since they have distinctly different styles. Still, real hip-hop heads recognize real, and given both their indelible contributions to the genre, those differences become irrelevant.

In fact, it’s compelling to see just how much the G-Unit mogul had an important influence on the North Carolina native. During his appearance at the aforementioned concert, J. Cole made sure to give the Queens legend his flowers. “If y’all don’t make some noise for one of the greatest n***as to ever do this s**t, 50 motherf***ing Cent, Curtis Jackson. Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ the greatest album of all time, I don’t give a f**k what y’all talking about n***a.”

Meanwhile, a collab between them these days might sound very different to what they crafted with Bas on “New York Times.” They’ve both grown a lot since then, whether as people, rappers, entrepreneurs, or leaders within their respective communities and fanbases. All we can hope for is that this is a hip-hop friendship that doesn’t fade. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on J. Cole and 50 Cent.

Wack 100 Questions Boosie Badazz & Webbie’s Recent Pic, Calls Them Out Amid Beef

September 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Wack 100 and Boosie Badazz don’t get along, a relationship status that formed after the latter spoke out against Kodak Black and the former’s artist 6ix9ine collaborating on a song. The snitching conversation around the rainbow-haired rapper will seemingly never end, and it’s caused Wack to get caught up in the backlash from it. However, it seems like now the music executive is taking other, more petty avenues to keep going at the Baton Rouge MC. Recently, a new picture emerged of Boosie hanging out with Webbie, one of his closest frenemies in hip-hop. By insinuating some casual homophobia in his response, Wack made many raise eyebrows and think that he’s making a mountain out of a molehill.

“#BadLook S**ts getting weird these days,” Wack 100 wrote of the Boosie and Webbie pic, adding the eyes emoji. “I know y’all see what I see … But ima go on mute catch the convo on @clubhouse On The 100 Side.” Turns out pretty much nobody saw what Wack saw, as responses to this assumption ranged from uncaring to befuddled. “I dont see nothing wrong yall just be thinking suspect,” one user commented under coverage of this post.

Moreover, Boosie and Webbie actually go way back, as they started making music together over twenty years ago. As two Baton Rouge natives who closely came up in the same scene, their bond was almost destined to manifest. Still, their relationship did evolve over time, and for a while there, they actually had beef of their own. It seems like things got much better since then, but it’s nonetheless curious to see how they held each other in wildly different regards throughout their careers.

Meanwhile, this is just one of a few feuds on Wack’s plate right now, and a relatively small one at the end of the day. After all, Boosie’s ire is for the 6ix9ine and Kodak, mostly, and this is more of an association-based battle. Regardless, we’re sure there will be more to define these rap figures’ interactions and bonds in the future. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Wack 100, Boosie Badazz, and Webbie.

Gunna Keeps Hitting The Gym & Sculpting His Shape In New Picture

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Gunna was away from the game for a while, but this year, he fully returned to hip-hop in ways big and small. Sure, his reintroduction fell under scrutiny and controversy due to his plea deal, but he’s certainly seen a lot of success regardless. For example, fans mostly responded positively to his new album, a Gift & a Curse, with “fukumean” becoming one of the year’s biggest rap hits. However, the YSL affiliate also revamped his public image in the purely physical sense, and started doing so far before dropping new music. With this new picture, we now have a lot of chapters in the saga of Wunna’s physical transformation.

Moreover, a new snap shows Gunna working out in athletic gear, and it’s almost too hard to recognize him. That would be true even if the picture was from another angle, since this one just captures his side profile. Still, that consideration didn’t stop fans from expressing their impressed, shocked, and downright incredulous reactions to the College Park MC’s bulk-up. While people sometimes cruelly clowned him for being a big boy compared to other rappers in his lane, that’s definitely not a valid joke to make anymore.

Gunna Shows Off More Workout Gains

What’s more is that it seems like the 30-year-old doesn’t even have to try very hard to show up in the news. There’s already been a lot of conversation around his physical transformation, but now there’s a lot of memes tying him to Donald Trump. After all, the disgraced president hired the same lawyer that got Gunna his plea deal to help him out in one of his four criminal indictments. Even though it doesn’t help the “snitching” allegations, it’s a pretty comical and curious connection from two people we can’t imagine in the same room together.

Meanwhile, it’s hard to tell what’s next for the Drip Season artist- at least, when it comes to his career. We know he’ll probably stay on his gym grind, but more releases, collaborations, and a higher profile in the game is still up in the air. It wouldn’t be surprising, but many fans wonder whether his history behind bars will ever catch up to him, especially as the YSL trial moves forward. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Gunna.

Tony Hawk Shares Never-Before-Seen Photo Of Himself With 2Pac

August 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tony Hawk shared a never-before-seen photo of himself with 2Pac in a post on Instagram, Monday. The skateboarder explained that he had only just recently recovered the picture.

“My missing photo with Tupac,” Hawk captioned the post. “I attended the American Music Awards in 1991 because my sister was there performing with Michael Bolton. While backstage, I saw Tupac standing alone and I recognized him from Digital Underground (go listen to ‘Same Song’ for context). His first album had not dropped yet, and nobody else seemed to notice him. I took a picture of him and [Riley’s mom] Cindy, and I thought she took one of him and me.”

He continued: “This was in the era of point-and-shoot film cameras so results were unreliable. Unfortunately I never found the photo once the roll was developed. But thanks to modern technology and maestro digital artist @_vemix_ , the image has materialized. And for the record: he was effusive and gracious during our brief encounter, more so than anyone else we met or bothered for pictures that night.” Later, Hawk clarified that the picture may have been taken in 1994: “Edit: this might have been 1994 based on the AMA nominees that year. I’m so old that specific years get fuzzy. But the story remains the same.” Check out Tony Hawk’s post featuring 2Pac below.

The arrival of the resurfaced picture comes as authorities have reignited an investigation into the legendary rapper’s death. They recently searched Keefe D’s property in an attempt to solve the long-standing case. There, they found bullets but later reported that they don’t match up with the shell casings that come from the original crime scene. Be on the lookout for further updates on the case on HotNewHipHop.

Kay Flock Bumps Lil Durk In New Instagram Picture From Prison

July 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Back in February of this year, authorities hit Kay Flock and seven other individuals on RICO charges amid a murder case. Since then, the rapper’s provided a few updates here and there on his well-being, including statements, pictures from behind bars, and more. In his most recent Instagram post, though, the New York drill rapper actually prompted a crossover with one of the biggest drill-adjacent artists in the world right now. Moreover, Flock posted a picture of himself on a call from his cell, and his background music was Lil Durk and Only The Family’s “One Mo Chance.”

Furthermore, as fans anxiously await what will become of Kay Flock, he and his legal team continue giving signs of life. For example, his attorney Jeffrey Lichtman, who previously represented El Chapo, called him a “good kid” and expressed confidence in him winning his murder case. “I’m looking forward to winning his trial. When the facts come out I think people will be shocked he was even charged,” Lichtman expressed. With these new RICO charges, though, it seems like an even more difficult case to overcome.

Meanwhile, the 20-year-old recently issued a message urging people to stop the violence. “First off I want to say sorry to all my fans, my mother, my family, my team. Last but not least, my brothers that’s home and the ones I lost in the streets,” Kay Flock wrote. “They say the streets has three outcomes but I say it’s two, dead or in jail. If you know me you know that I have a good heart. But you also know I’m damaged inside and hurt from my past. While being in here I lost two of my brothers to gun violence. [I] wasn’t even able to see them for the last time.”

Meanwhile, he went on to mention how people focus on negativity and stood by his denial of gang accusations. He also championed rap as his way out of his lifestyle. Furthermore, he wants to set an example for the youth by starting a #StopTheViolence campaign. To close things off, he mentioned many other rappers who currently face similar situations like Casanova and Young Thug. For more news and the latest updates on Kay Flock, check back in with HNHH.

Master P & Luther Vandross Have Google Tweaking In Hilarious Search Confusion

July 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Google has its fair share of glitches, errors, mistakes, and a whole slew of other issues, but this one was at least quite amusing. Moreover, users realized that if you search Luther Vandross on Google, you end up getting a picture of No Limit Records mogul and rap icon Master P. Of course, it quickly went viral after it caught some steam, especially after none other than The Roots’ Questlove posted about it on his Instagram page. Amid an age of artificial intelligence and automation, the acclaimed creative reminded users that humans aren’t that easy to replace after all. “This is why humans aren’t replaceable,” Quest wrote under a screenshot of the boss of one of the most iconic labels in hip-hop history being confused for Luther Vandross by the tech giant.

In addition, his comments section flooded with jokes tying Master P and Luther Vandross together. “Here and now, I promise to Make em say ugh,” one user wrote in reference to their respective tracks, “Make Em Say Uhh!” and “Here and Now.” Another wrote, “He has No Limit to his Love Songs, with hits like ‘Make ‘Em Say Never Too Much.” Perhaps the funniest reference, though, brought Kanye West into the fray. “She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some No Limit Soldiers, a little Anita…will definitely set this party off right,” referencing “Slow Jamz.”

Questlove Blasts Google For Mixing Up Master P & Luther Vandross

However, others expressed less amusement and more indignation online, blasting Google for mistaking Master P for Luther Vandross. While the general public doesn’t know how the search engine came to this conclusion (curation, an algorithmic mistake, etc.), many thought it to be racist given that they mixed up two Black men. “@Google who is responsible for this ?” one Twitter user demanded. “This is a picture of percy miller sr. aka master p, not luther vandross. I know yall think we all look alike but i can assure you we dont.”

Meanwhile, Master P revealed that he’s working on a No Limit TV series. “No Limit TV series coming soon,” he wrote on IG in March. “We’re still looking for people to play the Ice Cream man and other characters. The real Master P story from New Orleans to the Bay Area. @deontaylor We’re about to make history. #GODisgood.” “Power was a hit, BMF was a hit, salute to @50cent,” he stated in August upon its announcement. “Now the Master P No limit Tv series coming soon. Who y’all think should play the young Ice Cream Man? It can be an actor now or someone new. From New Orleans to the Bay Area the Real Story. Drama, romance, comedy, action and the American dream. When you put God first nothing is impossible.” For more on Master P and Luther Vandross (and hopefully less on Google’s antics), log back into HNHH.

Gunna Hits The Beach In Newly Surfaced Pic

June 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ever since Gunna’s release from jail, various pictures floated around the Internet of the rapper before he finally dropped a new project. With these pictures, fans were blown away by his weight loss, and each little hint as to his current state got them excited for a new album. Then, just a couple of weeks ago, he released a Gift & a Curse to commercial success and fan acclaim, just as he started to pop out more in public at events like NBA games. Still, the hype around the College Park MC follows him wherever he goes, and fans always want to know what he’s up to. Moreover, a new picture recently surfaced online of him shirtless at the beach, looking at the waves with a peaceful expression on his face.

A lot of ink spilled over Gunna’s next moves: whether he’d drop a new album, under which label it would be, and so on. Now that we have his new album as context, it’s pretty clear that the 30-year-old is here to stay. After all, he carried 15 tracks on his back with no features, and still ended up selling quite well in his first week. That being said, his status when it comes to his peers in the rap game is still up in the air, even if fans have mostly turned around on him.

Gunna Enjoys A Beach Day In New Photo

On one hand, a lot of people really enjoyed a Gift & a Curse within the industry, with people such as Joe Budden giving it props. However, his supposed beef with rappers like Lil Durk and Lil Baby leaves his career future as far as collaborations quite uncertain. He recently unfollowed both of them on Instagram, giving further context to their subliminal disses. It’s a shame because Gunna is one of the leaders of the new generation, and his team-ups with his fellow new gen leaders made for very special tracks.

Meanwhile, all of this discussion mostly came from fans and social media users who couldn’t be farther from his plea deal. As such, time will probably paint a different picture when it comes to this issue than what we see today. Most importantly, the artist is enjoying himself amid a lot of these questions and contentions. For more news and the latest updates on Gunna, check back in with HNHH.

NBA Youngboy Makes Second Post Since Reactivating Instagram

June 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, NBA Youngboy returned to Instagram after his account had long been deactivated. He posted a photo of himself with his cat and a caption that seemed to address those who were talking about him while he was gone. “Same color of my cat eyes the last color you gone see when I Swang on yo b*tch a*s.
Ps. I wont forget who said my name,” the post’s caption said. It was accompanied by two more photos of Youngboy and his black cat on a collar and harness.

Today, NBA Youngboy returned to Instagram once again. This time the pics highlighted Youngboy himself showing off some of his drip across four photos. ” F*cked up narratives, hurt deep knowing that ain’t your character. Don’t even know me,” the caption reads. He seems to once again be addressing those that have been talking on his name while he’s been absent from Instagram. While it’s unclear what “narratives” specifically he’s talking about it appears that he’s back in place to correct some misconceptions.

NBA Youngboy Continues Posting

These posts weren’t the only appearances NBA Youngboy made on Instagram recently. Last week, he made an appearance on another reclusive star’s Instagram story, Playboi Carti. The “Magnolia” rapper posted a picture of Youngboy sporting an Opium chain. Opium is the label that Playboi Carti operates under Interscope. The post sparked rumors of a collab between Youngboy, Carti, and some of the various artists on the label’s roster like Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely.

Youngboy has had an extremely prolific 2023 already dropping three entire projects. At the beginning of the year all the way back in January, he dropped I Rest My Case. He followed that up with Don’t Try This At Home a massive 90-minute project that sported features from Nicki Minaj, Post Malone, and The Kid LAROI. His most recent album Richest Opp dropped last month with a far more scant 50-minute runtime. What do you think of NBA Youngboy’s new Instagram post? Let us know in the comment section below.

Blueface & Chrisean Rock Look Healed In New Pregnancy Picture

June 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It wouldn’t be a news week if we didn’t get at least some update on Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s wild relationship. Moreover, new pictures emerged of the couple together, which seem to portray them in a happier, or at least calmer, state. Photographer Diego Farelo uploaded a picture of them with the California rapper putting his hand on the actress’ belly. Of course, the back-and-forth fights and discussion between them, particularly concerning Chrisean’s pregnancy, are well-documented. While these pictures aren’t solid confirmation that they’re on better terms, there are a few other recent events that support this.

Sure, they could all just be for show, but it wouldn’t be surprising for this couple to keep playing this game. For example, Blueface and Chrisean Rock partied together recently despite all the bad blood that seemed to run through them in previous weeks. Not only that, but the duo performed at Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition boxing match with John Gotti to many’s surprise. Whether they did it for the bag or not, at least there are some things that could still bring them together.

Whether that’s a good thing or not is up for debate, but there’s a child in the mix now that paints these disagreements under a different light. Also, each one is going through their own trials and tribulations in their daily life. For example, Chrisean Rock partied with Blueface just days after authorities arrested him on robbery charges. After posting bond, none other than his first baby mama Jaidyn Alexis picked him up upon release. They spent a lot of time together over the past few weeks, whether it’s just to make Chrisean jealous or because the “BDD” MC wants to patch things up with her.

Meanwhile, that robbery Blue was arrested for seemed to stem from a confrontation with the “Baddies” star herself. Apparently, Chrisean punched a woman who told her she was a fan, but that she didn’t like her boo. Then, the artist took her phone and kicked her while she was down. Even though they may have their differences, hopefully they can patch things up before their child is born. After all, the kid is going to need a lot of help with their parents’s antics, and that’ll be harder to come by if they’re on bad terms with each other on top of their other hijinks. For the latest news and updates on Chrisean Rock and Blueface, stay up to date on HNHH.

Gunna Keeps Stunning Fans With Weight Loss In Newly Surfaced Picture

May 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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.
