50 Cent Questions Jay-Z’s Whereabouts Amid Diddy Scandal & Beyonce’s Kamala Harris Endorsement

by

There’s a lot to talk about concerning Jay-Z these days, whether it’s the social media allegations in the rumor mill in relation to the Diddy scandal or his boo Beyoncé’s recent endorsement of Kamala Harris. But Hov himself hasn’t said a whole lot, something that 50 Cent is pretty curious about. “Don’t unban me, because no one’s there to get. When’s Jay coming to Summer Jam?” he asked on Hot 97. “When’s Jay-Z coming to Summer Jam? No brunch, no lunch, no dinner… It’s hot out here, man, it’s hot out here. You know what I’m saying? Nowhere.”

While Fif didn’t say anything specifically about this, he’s roped the Roc Nation boss into the Sean Combs allegations before, even if mostly in a joking and cheekily roasting way. Maybe 50 Cent is talking about something else entirely here, but a lot of people have the same question. Where is Jay-Z? The last thing we heard that directly involved his actions is how he and Beyoncé allegedly reached out to various media outlets about their coverage on the Diddy scandal and specifically Jaguar Wright’s accusations about them.

50 Cent Speaks On Jay-Z

Nevertheless, it wasn’t the only recent Jay-Z remark that 50 Cent made, as another appeared during the latter’s recent appearance on The Breakfast Club. He spoke on how he and Shawn Carter actually ghostwrote for Diddy in the past, speaking on Jay’s legendary creative process and his skillful craft in the booth. As such, you can see that it isn’t all jokes, roasts, and criticisms on the G-Unit mogul’s behalf, especially with people with whom he shares such a complicated history. But then again, that’s not exactly the image he portrays online often, so we don’t blame fans for assuming that they are completely at odds.

Also, it doesn’t help that Jay-Z and Roc Nation apparently tried to keep 50 Cent from performing during the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show. There is a lot to go through here and a lot of mysterious angles that the “Marcy Me” MC will probably not address publicly anytime soon. So take everything with a grain of salt and wait along with the rest of us for what comes next.

Remy Ma Almost Fell For A Nicki Minaj Reference On “Family Feud”

by

Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj’s beef is well-documented at this point, and while things died down a while ago, it’s still hard to ignore. Moreover, the former recently participated on Family Feud, and a particular fill-in-the-blank question led to a pretty interesting reaction. The prompt was “[Blank] Friday,” which led many eagle-eyed fans to spot the Bronx femcee’s small laugh when she heard the prompt. A lot of fans figured that she thought of Minaj’s album Pink Friday first, but she instead gave “Black Friday” as an answer. While we’ll probably never know whether or not Steve Harvey chose to be cheeky with this, fans ran with that narrative regardless.

Furthermore, the last “update” we got concerning Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj were some odd claims from Hazel-E. She claimed that Remy, the Migos, Suge Knight, and many others actually received payment to sabotage Nicki’s career. Of course, rumors like these are pretty frequent and common when it comes to the discussion around these two female rappers and many others. Even though we’ll probably never see evidence of this, some fanbases will still use it as a talking point either way.

However, despite Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj’s long and contentious history, some fans still think that they can bury the hatchet. In fact, the latter seemed to hint at a reconciliation while promoting Pink Friday 2, but that never manifested for that album’s rollout. Still, with so much beef going around in 2024, it seems as good a time as ever to either re-engage or reconsider. After all, this combative year could also result in more amicable moments of coming together rather than continued battle.

Meanwhile, Remy Ma doesn’t really want to talk about any of this beef, for the most part. For example, she avoided a question about Nicki Minaj and Latto beefing at the 2023 Grammys. Maybe Remy would rather speak on her own experiences with femcees rather than other ones. Regardless of whether or not these two eventually make up and set their issues aside, it’s impossible to not think of their spat whenever their names come up together.

The Game Dodges Kendrick Lamar “Pop Out” Questions But Weighs In On Nipple Piercings

by

Kendrick Lamar brought out countless celebrity special guests at his eagerly anticipated “Pop Out” show last night. Dr. Dre, Jay Rock, AB-Soul, Tyler, The Creator, YG, and many more made appearances. Interestingly enough, however, The Game was nowhere to be found despite his LA roots. This prompted social media users to speculate about whether or not he received an invite, and otherwise wonder why he decided not to attend.

Of course, he seemingly backed Drake amid his viral lyrical feud with Kendrick and even got into some beef of his own with Rick Ross, who backed Kendrick. Things reached a peak when The Game unleashed “Freeway’s Revenge,” a scathing Rozay diss track. Rick Ross didn’t bother to respond, and it appears as though The Game took notes. Amid fans demanding answers for his “Pop Out” absence, he’s kept totally quiet about the whole thing. He did hop online recently to share an interesting take on nipple piercings, however.

The Game Shares His Take On Nipple Piercings

“Pierced nipples taste like house keys,” he declared on his Instagram Story earlier today. That’s fair enough, but fans still want to know where he was last night. They’re currently flooding Worldstar‘s comments section with questions and theories about why he didn’t show up. “Let’s talk about why he wasn’t on stage last night,” one fan writes. “Sh*t like this is why you couldn’t pop out,” another speculates. Someone else simply claims he’s trying to “laugh his way through the pain.”

What do you think of The Game not showing up to Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” last night? Do you think he got an invite or not? What about him seemingly avoiding questions about it, yet speaking on something completely unrelated? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

“The Breakfast Club” Question On “Jeopardy!” Leaves Contestants Stumped

by

Jeopardy! is a funny way to see some pop culture crossovers that you may not have expected, especially for the hip-hop world. Moreover, a recent question had contestants scratching their heads, something they could’ve avoided if they just caught up on their New York rap radio more often. This was the prompt itself: “In 2024, Jess Hilarious joined this radio show with Charlamagne Tha God & DJ Envy.” Of course, unless you had no idea what this headline was about, we know this to be The Breakfast Club. But turns out that the legendary program might still have incentive to expand their reach and audience so that they truly become a household name.

Furthermore, those unfamiliar with The Breakfast Club that follow hip-hop casually have probably seen clips of it dozens of times without realizing. In fact, that goes for pop culture consumers in general, as there have been a lot of Twitter memes and the like that stem from Charlamagne, Envy, and now Jess Hilarious’ show. If you’re interested in checking them out more closely, you picked a very interesting time to do so. They have a lot of big stories to talk about in the rap game right now, including the Diddy scandal that is developing in ugly ways.

Jeopardy! Contestants Didn’t Know What The Breakfast Club Is

Another example is the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, which The Breakfast Club has done a great job of breaking down and analyzing from various standpoints. We’ll see what else happens this year that will warrant their undivided attention, and what other changes could occur to shift the show in another direction. After all, Angela Yee’s departure is sorely felt, and although Jess has added her own amazing dynamic to the program, fans wonder whether this is the end of the change. But we’re excited to see the current cohort continue to build rapport, get years of lore under their belt, and continue to fight negativity.

Meanwhile, The Breakfast Club will probably have a lot of other controversial or divisive moments as well. One of these was a pretty cringe-worthy Candace Owens appearance, and we have to give them grace to indulge in these more hot-button moments every once in a while. We’ll see what form those take in the future, whether it’s a wild guest or internal discussion. Who knows what could happen next to get them a Jeopardy! answer down the road?

Sexyy Red Was So Unserious While Answering The Miami Heat’s Questions Courtside

by

Sexyy Red is getting her bag by any means necessary -– and she’s not doing anything to change herself or act disingenuously for the cameras. Moreover, a recent interview with the Miami Heat’s media team contained some pretty unserious answers courtside, in the way that she became known for quite quickly. “Do you love the Miami Heat?” the interviewer asked. “Skee yee!” the 25-year-old answered. “What is your favorite thing about Miami” was the next question: “Skee yee,” her daughter answered. “Do you have a favorite player on the Miami Heat?” The only player that matters in the Hood Hottest Princess‘ universe: “Get it, Sexyy!“

As if that wasn’t enough, she also remarked that her favorite Miami Heat jersey is the Sexyy Red jersey. While maybe the NBA basketball team sought actual answers, they and their media team likely knew that this yields more in the long run. After all, whether staged or not, it’s an engagement point for hoop heads mad at the lack of answers or fans of Sexyy Red’s music who might have the exact same responses as her. Speaking of those fans, a lot of them are excited for an upcoming collab with Saucy Santana, which might arrive just in time for the summer.

In fact, the St. Louis native has a couple of collabs on the docket that are really energizing the fandom, and opening the way for an even bigger 2024 for her. For example, there’s her teased remix with Nicki Minaj that, while still not 100% confirmed, is everything that the Barbz and her fans want right now. While last year will prove steep competition as far as engagement, promotion, and visibility, Sexyy Red also has so much more at her disposal than what she had back then. As such, everyone’s still excited to see her continue to grow.

Meanwhile, what do you think about this career trajectory, linking up with huge companies like the Miami Heat? Do you agree with Joe Budden’s take that some of this hype is paid for or did you decline the Haterade this morning? Whatever the case, let us know your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Sexyy Red.

Metro Boomin Denies Drake Beef

by

To close out 2023, it looks like we finally have somewhat of a resolution to one of the year’s most rumored, subliminal, and surprising beefs. Moreover, you’ve definitely heard by now that Metro Boomin and Drake, according to many fans, threw shots at each other in recent times. This stemmed from the former complaining that the latter’s Her Loss won in rap album categories in award shows and rankings over Metro’s HEROES & VILLAINS. Then, the 6ix God seemed to respond in a Stake stream, and more cryptic social media activity had fans crafting theories and connecting presumed dots. But according to the St. Louis native, people took this way too far.

Furthermore, he recently spent some time answering fan questions on Twitter, as he’s usually very active on the platform. Specifically, Metro Boomin chose to indulge one listener’s inquiry about the supposed Drake beef and put an end to the rumors. “Are u and Drake seriously beefing or is it not that deep,” the user asked him. “Not deep at all lmao,” the 30-year-old replied. While he said it’s not deep, he technically didn’t say it was nonexistent, so fans will surely keep making assumptions despite this shutdown. Regardless, the “Metro Spider” beatsmith has bigger things on his mind right now, like officially claiming the most streamed rap album in 2023.

Metro Boomin Clarifies Drake Situation

Of course, the two have collaborated often in the past– in fact, Metro Boomin even has a beat on Her Loss. As such, maybe one more collaborative effort will squash this once and for all, or once the Grammys roll around and they have to congratulate each other or sympathize with each other’s losses to either Travis Scott, Killer Mike, or Nas. Only time will tell, but we might get an answer soon. The Boominati boss recently teased new music with Paul Wall, so he’ll probably have plenty of chances in 2024 to throw Drake on a song or to have him hop on one of his beats.

Meanwhile, we’re still waiting on his collab album with Future, which the beatmaker said he’ll finish soon. With so much potential there, we’ll be as patient as necessary. Who knows, maybe this is where the What A Time To Be Alive chemistry will quell these beef suppositions. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Metro Boomin and Drake.

NBA YoungBoy Blasts Reporter For J. Cole Collab Question During Interview

by

NBA YoungBoy is notorious for being in his fair share of rap beefs, whether they’re more serious or just from MC to MC. Moreover, one of his most recent exploits was with J. Cole, as they had a bit of a back and forth with alleged subliminal disses and straight-up callouts from his end. However, it seemed like things would quiet down a little on that front after a recent interview YB did with “Lizzie Pure,” also known as Lizabeth Korn. In it, she asked him about Cole’s line on his Drake collab “First Person Shooter” about still wanting to do a song with him.

Furthermore, YoungBoy said that if the Dreamville MC makes his way up to Gravedigger Mountain in Utah, he’s down. Now, though, it seems like there was a misunderstanding, because his Instagram account left a couple of comments (since deleted) on Lizzie’s IG post about her talk with him. In it, the Baton Rouge rapper suggests that he didn’t approve of certain clips coming out and called her a “clout chaser.” It’s a bit unclear what he’s specifically mad about and who he’s talking about in one of the comments, but that’s what we can devise from this.

“Go report this h*e page,” YoungBoy expressed in Lizzie Pure’s comments section. “this b***h unprofessional and clout chasing. You a dog a** b***h ain’t nobody approved none of this you doing. You tried that bulls**t a** clip with [J. Cole] saying he’ll be able to remove anything if he wanted it out then released it. ‘Dead b***h walking.’” Again, who the “he” is in this comment could be the 24-year-old, Cole, or someone else. Just goes to show that he can’t escape beef often.

Meanwhile, the Richest Opp hitmaker recently broke up the negativity with some holiday cheer. He recently dressed up as Santa Claus and took the kids sledding in Utah, which was odd but wholesome to see. Hopefully more moments like this prop up rather than more media feuds. For more news and the latest updates on NBA YoungBoy, come back to HNHH.

Drake Shares A Late Night Question From His Private Jet

by

Drake has a lot on his mind these days, as shown by his recent string of Instagram posts. Following each night of the It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage, Drizzy typically hits the ‘Gram with highlights from the evening, accompanied by some quotable captions. For the most part, the captions seem to be either lyrics from his upcoming album, For All The Dogs, or potential throwaways from his poetry book, Titles Ruin Everything. Either way, he elicited reactions from his fans, some who resonate deeply with the handful of quotables he unleashed on the ‘Gram.

Most recently, the Toronto-based rapper hit the ‘Gram to flex from his cozy flight on Air Drake. Posted up with a laptop and a phone case that reads, “This Is A Money Phone,” the rapper provided fans with a small glimpse into his private jet. However, he posed an interesting question for his fans that really sounds like it should’ve been in his book. “How are you thirsty AND want a meal ticket?” the caption reads.

A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi)

Since 2021, Drake’s already dished out three albums including Certified Lover Boy, Honestly, Nevermind, and Her Loss with 21 Savage. However, throughout his recent tour, the “Rich Flex” star has continued to provide fans with updates on the project. About a week and a half ago, the rapper hinted that the project would drop this week. He hasn’t provided a concrete date yet but it wouldn’t be shocking if For All The Dogs hits DSPs this Friday.

Since the beginning of the year, Drake’s provided fans with a handful of records that provide us with a bit of insight into his next artistic venture. Considering that Her Loss concluded the trilogy that he began with CLB, songs like “Search & Rescue” and the yet-to-be-released “At The Gates” ft. Lil Uzi Vert supposedly indicate his next artistic evolution. Most recently, he teamed up with Central Cee for their “On The Radar Freestyle.” It’s unclear if the two have more music in the works but Drake certainly has fans anticipating his next project.

MF DOOM’s Wife Left With Medical Questions After Rapper’s Unexpected 2020 Death

by

The three-year anniversary of British-American artist MF DOOM’s death is coming this fall. Thankfully, hip-hop refuses to let his legacy die. Stars like The Weeknd, continue to pay homage to Daniel Dumile in their own performances. Elsewhere, his widow, Jasmin, is doing what she can to seek answers for her husband’s untimely passing. According to Leeds Live, DOOM had been prescribed a new medication to treat his kidney disease and other health concerns. This ultimately led the rapper to struggle with weight gain and anxiety.

Jasmin says that after only two doses, the “Rhymes Like Dimes” artist developed breathing problems that brought him to the local A&E department. At the time, his tongue and throat began to swell. This seems to have tragically played a factor in DOOM’s death. Jasmin has concerns about the treatment her husband received at St. James Hospital, including his “buzzer” being out of reach. Due to this, Dumile was apparently unable to alert medical staff about his deteriorating condition. Instead, he had to phone Jasmin in distress as his swelling became worse.

A post shared by MF DOOM. ALL CAPS. (@mfdoom)

When speaking to the Wakefield Coroner’s Court, DOOM’s widow mentioned that his room at the hospital looked as though it may have previously been used for storage. She was unable to see him throughout most of his illness due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Jasmin still did what she could to help from home. “I was not able to see him until the 31st (of October) – that’s when the respirator was turned off that was helping him breathe,” she emotionally admitted.

Little more than a week before, Dumile had reportedly complained about an inability to breathe. He attempted to get off his bed but ultimately collapsed and suffered a respiratory arrest. In light of the prolific artist’s death, the hospital trust carried out a “serious incident investigation” to pinpoint what lessons could be learned. Since posthumous appearances from MF DOOM are understandably rare, we’ve compiled a list of other rappers with a similar vibe for you to enjoy.

Tony Yayo Blasts DJ Vlad For Question About 50 Cent & Ja Rule Beef

by

When it comes to rap beef, don’t ask Tony Yayo about Terror Squad versus G-Unit. Moreover, DJ Vlad learned that lesson the hard way during a recent interview with him, albeit one of many they’ve done together. As such, to hear the New York rapper bas Vlad so quickly is surprising yet understandable considering how they know how these things go. Furthermore, Yayo stopped the media personality after he asked about the beef between 50 Cent and Ja Rule. He was speaking on E-40’s ejection from a Kings-Warriors game and noting that 50 was also at that game and went on about his numerous deals with NBA Teams.

That’s when DJ Vlad tried to bring that discussion around to the Ja Rule beef. “If Ja Rule came forward and publicly said listen I wanna apologize to 50 Cent and G-Unit X, Y and Z, I was young, you know what I mean? We were all wild–” Vlad asked before Tony Yayo interrupted him. “Vlad, I’m just gonna take it back to the first shut the f**k up,” he clapped back. “Shut the f**k up with that s**t Vlad.”

For those unaware, Fif and Ja go way back in their beef, which exploded in the mid-2000s when the latter worked with Terror Squad. In fact, Tony Yayo called it the “realest beef” that G-Unit ever acted on. “Yo, the realest beef was with Terror Squad,” he expressed in a previously posted Instagram video. “He was a real n***a, I gotta give it up. The realest beef was with Fat Joe and them. We outside.” Said beef continues to this day, with them recently arguing over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

However, Ja Rule doesn’t really see it as a problem, as he recounted in an interview with The Shade Room. “If 50 Cent was to walk in here right now, what do you think would happen?” he asked the interviewer. After they said “Well, nothing, obviously,” the rapper replied with “Exactly! That’s what I’m saying. We don’t have an issue. We don’t have a problem. Like, c’mon dog. I’m very relevant out here. I don’t have nothing to prove to anybody. I just, you know, I just want people to understand my side. My side of it is, I really don’t give a f**k.” For the latest news and updates on this beef and Tony Yayo, stick around on HNHH.
