Lil Wayne Knows The Main Reason Why Drake Is Hated And It Is A Simple One: “He Light-skinned”

January 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Wayne and Drake’s friendship is one of the most wholesome in all of hip-hop. Their love and admiration for one another runs deep, especially after Weezy discovered him all those years ago. If the Louisiana legend never brought him on to Young Money, we would not have the number of classics we have today. You can argue, that besides Drizzy’s family, no one knows him more than Wayne. It may be the reason why Richard Sherman asked him various questions about the Canadian superstar.

Sherman, a former NFL cornerback, is a part of the new panel on FS1’s Undisputed and recently began hosting a podcast. The latter is the platform that these two got to talking about the For All The Dogs creator. According to HipHopDX, Sherman first praised Wayne for his keen eye for talent. The living legend said he gets him the boss. “I get that from my upbringing, from being around Birdman.”

Lil Wayne Did Not Hesitate With His Answer

Then, the host segued that into why the hate for Drake is so large. It is a good question because he is a pretty polarizing figure. Additionally, it comes at a opportune moment, especially after the situation surrounding Yasiin Bey and his recent comments toward Drizzy. You might think that Wayne would have had answered that echoed Bey’s “pop music” take. However, it is far from it. The hitmaker feels it is simple, “He light-skinned.” He explains with a personal experience, “That’s just American history. How I know is, because I’m not light-skinned. I hated on all light-skinned dudes in school. So yeah, it’s American history, man.” The conversation starts around the 16:15 mark.

What are your thoughts on Lil Wayne saying why Drake is hated? Do you think that is a legitimate reason, or is it deeper than that? If you dislike him what are your reasons why? Is he the most hated hip-hop artist ever, why or why not? Where do you have him all-time in your rankings? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Cam’ron & Mase Thank Jermaine Dupri For His Support Early In Their Careers

January 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron and Mase took the time to show love to Jermaine Dupri during the iconic rapper and music executive’s appearance on It Is What It Is. Cam’ron began by recalling his contributions to his debut album, 1998’s Confessions of Fire. Mase, on the other hand, thanked him for helping him secure his first million dollars.

“[H]e’s on my first album with two different cuts, actually did a hook for me,” Cam’ron said. “When I was young, I was real arrogant because my man Mase just sold four million records, and I’m thinking I’m supposed to sell four million records. And I don’t think I ever gave J.D. his flowers for even doing what he did for me. It meant a lot to me that you did that for me, because you invited me to your house and you didn’t have to do that. So I just want to tell you thank you in front of everybody, because I probably never even did it privately, let alone publicly.”

You gave me my first million dollars.” Check out Dupri’s full appearance on the show below.

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Katt Williams recently reflected on his 2014 arrest with Suge Knight during an interview with Willie D for his podcast, earlier this week. Williams faced robbery charges at the time for allegedly stealing the camera of an independent photographer in Beverly Hills. Williams says that wasn’t the whole story.

“I’ll tell you the story, and then, you tell me if that changes how you frame this,” he said. “So, we have a meeting with a hologram company which is going to into a licensing deal on some holograms. This is in Beverly Hills. So now, there’s Rodeo [Drive]. And behind that, there’s an alleyway where you park your vehicles. Suge has brought his son with him, who is 5 years old at the time. And before we go into this meeting, Suge’s son runs behind the dumpster and urinates. And a lady films his penis out peeing behind the dumpster.”

Lil Mo Speaks On Battles With Opioid Addiction

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Mo, the R&B songstress, recently bared her soul on the Don’t Call Me White Girl podcast. She offered a raw and unfiltered account of her harrowing struggle with opioid addiction. A battle that was intricately woven into the fabric of an abusive relationship. In a candid conversation from early December, she delved into the depths of her addiction and the transformative journey that led her to break free in late 2019. “Addiction is real because people don’t know you’re addicted,” Lil Mo began. Peeling back the layers of a hidden struggle that often goes unnoticed. Despite her public persona, she disclosed the financial toll of her addiction, admitting to spending a staggering amount— at least a grand a week. All while ensuring everyone around her was taken care of. It was a paradoxical existence where her outward generosity masked an internal battle.

Moreover, Mo painted a vivid picture of her time in California. Where the glamour of the music scene was overshadowed by the darker reality of substance abuse. “When we touch down, everything was laid out — coke, pills, syrup… And I’ll get up there and sing, and you’d never know, and I’m literally burnt the fuck out.” Her revelation highlights the stark contrast between the polished stage presence and the private struggle that unfolded behind the scenes.

However, the singer emphasized the deceptive nature of addiction, explaining, “The only reason y’all knew I was on drugs was because I said it.” Lil Mo confronted the societal pressure to conceal vulnerabilities. She shed light on the internal conflict of compromising one’s authenticity to meet external expectations. She lamented, “That’s when it comes to the soft white underbelly where you think you have to lower who you are to meet people where they’re at. It upsets me what I allowed.”

Moreover, Lil Mo’s journey from the depths of addiction to sobriety serves as a powerful narrative of resilience and self-discovery. By bravely sharing her story, she not only unveils the hidden struggles that many face. But also challenges the stigma surrounding addiction. In doing so, she advocates for a more compassionate and understanding approach to those battling their demons. She emphasized that beneath the glamorous facade, everyone has their own battles to fight.

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans believe Gillie Da Kid was throwing shade at either NBA Youngboy or Drake with a recent rant on social media. Filming himself in a hotel bed, Gillie explained why he is unable to land certain guests on his podcast. In doing so, he referenced the unnamed artists instead speaking with “a little white girl.” Drake sat down with Bobbi Althoff for a polarizing interview, earlier this year.

“To all the people that’s in my DMs that be like, ‘Yo, get such and such on the podcast,’ a lot of them people we reach out to but they don’t come to us because they can’t control the narrative,” he said. “That’s why they’ll go to a little white girl that you’ve never heard of. Or that’s why they’ll go to a little white dude that you’ve never heard of because they can’t control the narrative over here. We not recording you. We not sending you nothing to look at. We don’t ask nut-ass questions. So, why would we have to send you something to review? We ain’t doing that sh*t.”

Gille continued: “So a lot of times when you see motherf*ckas and you’re like, ‘Get them on the podcast,’ and they can’t control the narrative. They don’t wanna come. So, we don’t want your b*tch-ass.” When Akademiks shared the video on Instagram, one user commented: “Definitely talking abt drake zesty ahh.” Another wrote: “I think he talking about YoungBoy and Drake.” Others had more directly negative responses to his comments. “Why you mad a n***a wanna view sh*t before y’all put it out, y’all could say some slick sh*t I aint catch, then why you always speaking, it’s really like wallo show cause if it was just Gillie nobody wouldn’t even watch that shit being real,” one wrote.

Bun B Says Megan Thee Stallion Reminds Him Of Pimp C

December 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bun B says that Megan Thee Stallion, Big K.R.I.T., and Killer Mike all remind him of Pimp C in different ways. He explained how during his recent appearance on Drink Champs while discussing the legacy of his late UGK partner. For Megan Thee Stallion, Bun says she’s approaching Pimp’s style from a “female perspective.”

“There is no one man I think that can replicate it, right?” he began. “You see some dudes with the personalities. [Like elements of Pimp], I see that in most people. You know, Megan Thee Stallion embodies a lot of what Pimp represented. I think that’s why it was so jarring for people to see it coming from a woman. But she’s not saying nothing Pimp wasn’t saying, it just came from a female perspective.”

From there, he brought up Big K.R.I.T. and Killer Mike. “I think, Club God – BeatKing, I think he’s talking about a lot of the crazy, nasty shit that Pimp would be talking about. I think there’s a lot of people that carry his beliefs. Like [Big] K.R.I.T. carries this passion of making southern musical production looked at at a very high level. Killer Mike has the care and concern for his community and people that Pimp had. There’s so many different things, but I don’t think no one person could encompass everything that Chad encompassed. That’s why he was so special to people. I think we all [carry the torch that is Pimp C] in a sense. I think many of us have to carry that torch because we can’t just sit by and watch fuck shit.” Check out the full interview below.

“Pink Friday 2” Sales Projections Increase, Nicki Minaj Promises To Cuss Joe Budden Out: Watch

December 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Barbz have long predicted that Nicki Minaj’s comeback would be epic, but even they weren’t fully prepared for the creativity unleashed by the Queen of Rap on Pink Friday 2. She reconnected with frequent collaborators like Drake and Lil Wayne on her tracklist, while also tackling new challenges, such as working with 50 Cent and J. Cole. The initial first week sales projections for the LP hit the internet this past weekend, with HDD speculating Minaj would move 170-190K album equivalent units over the next few days. After making a splash on Friday (December 8), those numbers have gotten a significant increase today (December 12).

This time, HDD says the mother of one is aiming to land on top of the Billboard chart and should sell 200K. “It would mark her biggest debut since The Pinkprint in 2014,” @chartdata noted when sharing the information. Minaj’s last album, 2018’s Queen debuted at No. 2 with 185K units sold, coming behind Travis Scott’s Astroworld, which arrived atop the Billboard 200 the week before. The Trinidadian wasn’t happy to lose out on her throne last time, so she’ll be happy to see that competition is minimal this time around.

She’s probably taking time to celebrate the big news, but elsewhere, Minaj is keeping busy giving one interview after another. On Tuesday, she teased another sitdown with Joe Budden coming in the future and even hinted that she might have to cuss the podcaster out again, as has seemingly become their tradition. “You know why I’m here? Because this man always deserves a good cussing out from me, ok? And that’s why I made it my business! Was I gonna cancel it? Sure! Was I gonna show up 10 hours late? Of course!” she quipped.

Did Pardison Fontaine Cheat On Megan Thee Stallion? He Addresses Rumours On “Lip Service”

December 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion had a mostly quiet year when it came to music, but the rap diva did spill some serious tea when it came time to drop her “Cobra” single earlier this fall. After quietly parting ways with longtime beau Pardison Fontaine, she revealed that infidelity is what ultimately led to their demise, even allegedly taking place in her bed. His telling response to the lyrics exposing him made it obvious that the producer wasn’t innocent, but he had some things to get off his chest about their breakup too.

On his “THEE PERSON” diss track, the “Hoop Earrings” artist laid in on his ex, accusing her of getting liposuction and messing around on him during their relationship. Rather than responding to the gossip, Megan has been staying in her lane and focusing on herself. For his part, Fontaine is now romancing a new woman, Jada Kingdom. However, he’s still not done talking about his ex quite yet. He recently joined Angela Yee on her Lip Service podcast, during which she candidly asked him about the cheating allegations, and he gave an interesting answer.

“That’s not what happened,” Pardi said when Yee and her co-hosts brought it up.

After hearing that, the “Backin’ It Up” collaborator said that he’s guilty of Thee Stallion’s accusations. Still, he denying being caught in her bed while in the middle of getting oral sex from another woman.
