Lizzy Bounces Her Bare Booty On IG Amid Weight Loss Praise

February 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Lizzo has found herself at the center of quite a bit of criticism in recent months. After being accused of sexual harassment by various former backup dancers, the performer took a mini hiatus before returning to social media in full force. She was even a presenter at the Grammys earlier this month, which prompted mixed reactions from viewers.

Aside from that debacle, Lizzo’s been a target for internet trolls since her initial rise to fame. Critics consistently bash the “Juice” performer for taking pride in her curves. Luckily for her, as well as her thirsty social media followers, she never lets that stop her from flaunting her figure online. Today, for example, she took to Instagram to model some skimpy new lingerie from her shapewear brand, Yitty.

She bared it all for the sultry selfie session, even turning around to give fans an up-close look at her bouncing backside. “Y’all better not sleep on this lace lingerie from @yitty ,” she captioned the carousel. Countless commenters are glad to see Lizzo flexing her confidence, her recent weight loss, and her new Yitty pieces. Of course, haters have also found their way into the songstress’s comments. Regardless, she later followed up with another round of photos, this time reminding users that her face card never declines.

Lizzo’s booty isn’t the only thing she’s shown off as of late. Last month, she took to Instagram to boast about her impressive tour stats, despite the aforementioned lawsuit controversy. “2024: $85,000,000 tour gross, 883,500 tickets sold, 68 dates, 14 countries, 3 continents. IM REALLY THAT GWORL,” she wrote. As expected, social media users are split on whether Lizzo should be celebrating in light of the lawsuit, but she continues to either way. What do you think of Lizzo flaunting her figure on the Gram? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Logic Recruits Drag Queen To Star In New “Fear” Music Video, Viewers Commend Him

February 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

At the end of January, Logic dropped a new trailer for his eagerly anticipated upcoming album, Ultra 85. While an exact timeline for the project’s release remains unclear, it’s safe to say that listeners can’t wait. Fans have been hoping for Ultra 85 for some time now, and finally expect it to arrive sometime in the next couple of months.

Alongside the trailer, Logic unveiled the release date of the project’s lead single, “Fear.” The track and accompanying music video arrived today, and so far, fans haven’t been disappointed. The track touches on themes of identity and encourages listeners to be themselves unapologetically, despite what critics have to say about it.

Logic Unveils Ultra 85 Lead Single

To help him send his message, Logic recruited none other than Portland-based drag queen and makeup artist Tajh “Flawless Shade” Jordan to star in the video. Both Logic and Flawless Jade are receiving a tremendous amount of praise for the powerful visual, which embodies the song’s themes of freedom and creativity. “Absolutely love this and the video! Thank you Logic for being you and continuing to spread your message of Peace, Love and Positivity!” one fan writes. “Your growth and authenticity over the years have really solidified you,” another says. “Rather than playing safe, you challenge yourself and you speak a REAL message.”

Of course, there are also plenty of critics who aren’t feeling the music video. “Why this gotta be the vid dawg come on,” one wonders. “No problem with the song. The music video though is another story. Wth logic,” another says. Either way, the song and video have managed to get most fans excited for what else is to come on Ultra 85. What do you think of Logic featuring Tajh “Flawless Shade” Jordan in his new “Fear” music video? What do you think of the new track? Are you looking forward to hearing the rest of Ultra 85?

Snoop Dogg Says Donald Trump Has His “Love & Respect” For Pardon

January 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg recently doubled down on his goodwill for Donald Trump during a recent interview with The Times, and if you weren’t already aware, this isn’t his first rodeo when it comes to this support. “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me,” he shared. “He has done only great things for me.” Specifically, Tha Doggfather referred to the disgraced former president’s pardon of Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, one of his last acts before he left office in January of 2021. “So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” he concluded.

Furthermore, this is what the Long Beach legend had to say a couple of years ago when news of this pardon broke. “That’s great work for the president and his team on the way out,” Snoop Dogg expressed. “They did some great work while they was in there and they did some great work on their way out. Let them know that I love what they did. It is amazing what the work of God can actually bring to life to make people understand that there is a God.”

However, Snoop Dogg wasn’t always a fan of Donald Trump. “So, me and my homeboys sittin’ up here talkin’ about all the people that President Trump disrespected,” he recalled in September of 2020. “Women, gays, transgender people, Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, and now veterans. Hm. Seems like he’s disrespecting every color in the world and everything that ain’t what he is, which is a racist. With that being said, the people that voted for him got exactly what they wanted. They gave them what he said he was gon’ do. So, the next motherf***er, you better tell us what we gon’ get for your vote. You better show up and deliver, period. We just want some peace, love, equality, and tranquility for everybody. All lives. Just basic conversation. Now carry on.”

If you didn’t already know that Snoop changed his mind because of Trump’s pardon -– which doesn’t excuse his politics -– then you might see this as part of a recent wave of endorsements for him. Benny The Butcher recently caught flack for his support, which he explained in an interview with The Breakfast Club. Whether you agree with this forgiveness or not, it’s clear that the West Coast MC is speaking from a wholly personal perspective, and not that which he employed in the past to speak on the criminal. For more news on Donald Trump and the latest updates on Snoop Dogg, stick around on HNHH.

Kanye West Co-Signs JPEGMAFIA’s Praise Amid “Vultures” Collab Rumors

January 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Kanye West is a pretty controversial character these days, but that hasn’t stopped him from being JPEGMAFIA’s favorite artist. In recent days, JPEG has been praising Ye on social media, and clapping back at critics who think the Chicago MC’s antics are simply too much to stomach. Luckily for him, Ye appears to appreciate the compliments and agree with his points. Recently, he even reposted one of his lengthy messages on his own Instagram Story.

“When i said i love an artist there’s nothing political about it,” the message begins. “Ye is my favorite artist of all time. I’ve been saying it for years. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here period. And I love him period. It’s offensive to me that some people on here took a moment i had been waiting on my whole life and twisted into some weird a** oppression olympics.”

Kanye West Reposts JPEGMafia’s Message

His post continues, “You can’t play oppression olympics with a grown black man whose dealt with racism in real time. So please shut the actual f*ck up and keep bumping the artist yall like that beat b*tches up and rape girls in real life. Because that’s your reality not mine. don’t round me up to be a nazi because your sheltered and st*pid and have no respect or context [for] anything black or for my experiences as [a] black man in this country.” JPEG went on, insisting that he’ll never have anything in common with critics, as he makes “goals” while they make “mean Reddit threads.”

Ye’s repost comes after he linked up with JPEGMAFIA this month following his viral Twitter rant. In the rant, JPEG admitted to “[feeling] a way” about Ye acknowledging other artists who have “less to offer” than him. This prompted rumors that JPEG will appear on Ye’s upcoming album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures. What do you think of JPEGMAFIA praising Kanye West? Are you surprised that he’s his favorite artist of all time? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Common Praises Andre 3000 & Nas’ Lyrics: “Those Words Will Last”

January 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Common’s got some serious writing skills, but that doesn’t stop him from occasionally looking at other artists with envy. During a recent interview on Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning, the Chicago MC discussed Andre 3000’s new instrumental album, New Blue Sun. He says that while he obviously appreciates the Outkast icon’s bars, he’s just happy to see him putting out music of any kind, despite it being somewhat controversial.

“First of all, it’s just great to hear something from André,” he began. “Of course I wanna hear his raps, but that dude has been such a creator… When I put on that flute album I was like, ‘Yo, this joint is dope to me.’” According to Common, some producers have even reached out to him offering to loop instrumentals from the project for him to rap over.

Common Wishes He Wrote Some Of Andre 3000 & Nas’ Lyrics

Despite being a fan of New Blue Sun, Common might have found himself missing Andre 3000’s signature storytelling skills. After all, he says that he’s still jaw-dropped by what the artist has been able to come up with over the years. “Him [André 3000] and Nas, for me, are the two that I’ll be like, ‘Damn, I wish I wrote that,’” he said. Elsewhere in the interview, he showed love to Nas for the lyricism in his 1994 Illmatic track “N.Y. State of Mind.”

“I was playing ‘New York State of Mind’ and one of the greatest lines ever written is, ‘Beyond the walls of intelligence life is defined/ I think of crime when I’m in a New York state of mind,’” he described. “That’s like poetry. That’s like American literature,” Common continued. “When they put that next to James Baldwin and Nikki Giovanni, those words will last.” What do you think of Common praising Nas and Andre 3000 for their writing skills? Do you agree with him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

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.”

Later in the interview, Mase also thanked Dupri for being “the first guy to ever pay me what I was really worth talent-wise.” He said: “I want to tell you thank you from my heart… I’m forever indebted to you for allowing me to be rich. You gave me my first million dollars.” Check out Dupri’s full appearance on the show below.

Cam’ron & Mase Speak With Jermaine Dupri

As for the rest of the episode, Nelly was also featured to discuss all things sports. Earlier this month, Dupri teased having a song featuring Nelly, Ashanti, and Juicy J set for his upcoming EP. Be on the lookout for further updates on Cam’ron and Mase as well as Jermaine Dupri on HotNewHipHop.

Jay-Z Gives Doja Cat Her Flowers, Details “God Did” Writing Process

January 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Doja Cat’s undergone something of a transformation in recent months, impressing fans with her latest album Scarlet, and earning the praise of plenty of her high-profile peers. She recently teamed up with Jeymes Samuel, Kodak Black, and Adekunle Gold on the track “Jeezu” for the soundtrack of The Book Of Clarence. Aside from the aforementioned artists, other performers like Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi, Jorja Smith, and more also make appearances on the star-studded soundtrack. Jay-Z even hopped on a 9-minute-long song with Jeymes Samuel and D’Angelo, “I Want You Forever.”

During a recent Twitter Spaces chat Jay-Z gave Doja Cat a shoutout for her contribution. “Even with Doja [Cat] on [the soundtrack],” he began. “Her performance on [‘Jeezu’] was unlike anything that I’ve heard from her. The way she attacks that music it’s like, ‘Wow, this is a different Doja.’ And it may not be different for her. I don’t know. That’s a question for her. It may not have felt different for her, but as a listener, as someone who has consumed her music and loves what she does, I was like, ‘Man, this feels new for her.’ This feels like a new space.”

Jay-Z Recalls Writing His Lengthy “God Did” Verse

A post shared by THE HIP-HOP WOLF® (@thehiphopwolf)

Clearly, receiving praise from the Roc Nation founder is no small feat. He’s had his own fair share of successes throughout his career, to say the least. One that doesn’t go unnoticed is his four-minute verse on “God Did.” During the same conversation, he reflected on his writing process, revealing that he didn’t expect the verse to be so long.

“You’ve just got to obey your cr*zy,” he said earlier this week. “It’s really the song dictates the vibe of what’s going on. I didn’t start out to do ‘God Did’ as a four-minute verse, that’s not how it happened…It just kept going and kept unfolding.” What do you think of Jay-Z praising Doja Cat for her verse on “Jeezu” from the Book Of Clarence soundtrack?

January 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dee-1 recently praised Meek Mill for a recent tweet that he put out concerning what being a “gangsta” really is. “Being gangsta will get you hurt put in jail or killed ……” the Philly rapper posted on the social media platform on Tuesday (January 2). “Being smart will get you out of poverty and your family and friends living better. It’s no comparison, being smart is the only solid way out the trenches… everything else is wide range life risk just to survive!” Moreover, the Christian MC posted an Instagram video reacting to this on his page. “Big Salute to @meekmill,” he captioned. “Some haters and some blogs don’t wanna see love and support, but that’s exactly what this is. Stating Big Facts that will have a domino effect. Let’s be smart and we can all win! Ya digggg. A Shift Is Happening!!! #Dee1 #MeekMill #HipHopCulture #Support #MissionVision.”

“Yeah, salute to Meek Mill for spitting these facts!” Dee-1 said in the clip in question. “And this gon’ have a domino effect in a good way, you heard me?

“That’s important for people to just know it’s that simple,” Dee-1 continued. “‘It’s no comparison. Being smart is the only solid way out the trenches. Everything else is wide range life risk just to survive.’ Come on, man, that’s facts, and this shift is happening right now, man. I love this, I support this, Meek. Big love, and everybody just need to know this, man. It might be common sense to one person to see this. But there’s a lot of people that’s at that crossroads each and every day. Man, be smart. Let’s be smart, and let’s win.”

For those unaware, the New Orleans native previously called Meek and other MCs out for their glorification of violence and street life in their lyrics. Other rappers chimed in with their takes in addition to a clap-back of his own, and it prompted a lot of debate. Maybe Dee’s just compensating for this rift, but it’s still heartening to see them come together on these issues.

December 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, a snippet from Trina’s interview with HipHopDX started to make its rounds, sparking quite a bit of controversy. In the clip, she gives Beyonce a shoutout for her contributions to female rap. Her claims certainly managed to raise some eyebrows, but regardless, she stands by what she said.

“Yeah,Beyoncé cuz she’s like the number one female rapper when she does rap,” Trina told the outlet. “It’s just one of those things like of course this is the Queen’s Beyoncé but when you hear her do a song and it’s rapping involved, it’s like, ‘Oh my God,’ like it just, it’s more inspiration and, um, I don’t know it’s just a good thing man.” Now, after receiving plenty of backlash for her comments, Trina has taken to Instagram to respond.

Andrew Tate Praises Dr. Umar For Being “Ride Or Die” For The Black Community

December 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Andrew Tate has offered praise to fellow controversial content creator Dr. Umar. “I dont care if you agree with him or not Dr Umar is ride or die for his people and I respect that,” Tate wrote on X. His statement came after Umar went viral for a scathing attack on Vanessa Bryant, the widow of Kobe Bryant. Umar accused Bryant of “not doing sh-t” to “uplift the Black community”. This was specifically in regard to the ways that she has spent her late husband’s money in recent years. Umar pointed to a “sports initiative” that Bryant recently started with “six predominantly white colleges”. Umar’s anger came as a result of Bryant not “choosing a single HBCU”. Umar was referring to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. In September, the foundation announced partnerships with UConn, USC, Kentucky, Oregon, Duke, and LSU.

However, Umar was largely shouted down by the Joe Budden crew. One contributor argued that “there are plenty of angry Black wives who got a Black man’s money and didn’t do sh-t for the Black community”. As with many of Umar’s moments, it felt more like he was talking to be heard than actually having something to say.

Andrew Tate Says He “Misses America”

Meanwhile, Tate recently said he “misses America”, according to an early December tweet from the influencer. Tate hasn’t lived in the States since 2017, when he and his brother relocated to Romania. Tate has long stated that he made the move due to the much more lenient enforcement of laws in the Eastern European nation. However, that did not stop Romanian officials from throwing the book at the Tate brothers over alleged rape and human trafficking.

However, it’s not the first blunt, four-word tweet that Tate has spontaneously made recently. Tate simply wrote “I am a Billionaire” on X on November 23. It’s a bold claim from a man who was recently valued at a net worth of around £10 million. That figure came from the Romanian officials as part of an evaluation of Tate’s assets. This was conducted as part of his ongoing trial for rape, human trafficking, and organized crime. The lavish lifestyle portrayed by Tate over the years appears to be almost entirely fabricated. Even Tate’s own lawyers admitted that the former kickboxing world champion “plays a character online”.
