50 Cent Explains Why Lil Durk Now Has A Leg Up In NBA YoungBoy Beef

by

50 Cent is one of the biggest artists to ever grace hip-hop. Furthermore, he is someone who was able to become a mogul through various business ventures. From his humble beginnings until now, Fif has seen a lot. He has been in his fair share of rap beefs, and he has also been tapped into the streets. Consequently, he has the cache to speak on a myriad of different topics. One such topic just so happens to be the feud between Lil Durk and NBA YoungBoy.

Durk and YoungBoy have not been on great terms. Although Durk is trying to turn the page on rap beef and the lifestyle that comes with it, there are certainly some people who haven’t forgotten. While appearing on Million Dollaz Worth of Game with Gillie and Wallo, Fif offered up his full-fledged opinion on the Durk and YoungBoy situation. Below, you can hear all of 50 Cent’s comments, which explain how Durk is in a better position to win.

50 Cent Weighs In

As 50 Cent argues, because YoungBoy is locked up, he won’t be able to collaborate with other artists. Meanwhile, Durk can get out there, mingle, and make records with a whole plethora of artists. Moreover, when artists are locked up for a long time, fans tend to forget about them. Sure, there will be people reminiscing for the old days, but amongst the general public, YoungBoy could ultimately fade into obscurity while Durk continues to build ground. It’s an interesting take, and only time will tell whether or not he is correct.

Let us know what you think of this analysis from 50 Cent, in the comments section down below. Do you believe he has a point about the Lil Durk and YoungBoy situation? How do you feel about the current legal issues for YoungBoy? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

6ix9ine Takes Massive L As Lil Tjay Blesses His Ex With A Chain

by

6ix9ine is by far one of the most hated rappers of all time. Overall, you have to do a lot of bad things in order to get a designation like that. However, as it pertains to Tekashi, it most certainly rings true. During his Linsanity run in 2018, Tekashi was getting involved in all sorts of disrespectful antics. Subsequently, he went to prison following a RICO case and was out in less than a year. From there, he amped up the disrespect as he made fun of the deaths of King Von and Pop Smoke.

Since that time, 6ix9ine has fallen off popularity-wise. That said, he still makes music. He was in the Dominican Republic for quite some time as he focused on making Latin ballads. Now, however, he is back in the United States and is trying to get back on the rap wave. Having said that, his return has not been well received. In fact, it seems like Lil Tjay is looking to take shots at the artist. Below, you can see that he met up with 6ix9ine’s ex. He even graced her with a new chain, which feels like a huge diss, especially to someone like Tekashi.

Not Good For 6ix9ine

When it comes to 6ix9ine, you can tell that there is a general disdain amongst his peers. Very few mainstream artists have embraced Tekashi, apart from Kodak Black. With that in mind, it will be difficult for him to gain any kind of momentum with his return to rap. Although he knows how to market himself, and that could prove to be an incredibly useful skill for him, moving forward.

Let us know what you think about all of these antics, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that artists should just leave 6ix9ine alone at this point, given the fact that he is barely relevant? Do you foresee the “GUMMO” artist responding to all of this? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

DJ Akademiks Defends Nicki Minaj’s Possible Explanation For Her Ice Spice Beef

by

Nicki Minaj recently sparked a whole lot of fan speculation with some recent moves that some Barbz interpreted as shade towards Ice Spice. For those unaware, the former unfollowed the latter on Instagram and then told fans to stop asking questions about “other people” amid this drama. As such, many put two and two together, but this equation doesn’t really confirm whether or not there are real issues at play here. Nevertheless, DJ Akademiks recently responded to this during his livestream, defending the Trinidadian MC for her choices and for the way in which she’s conducting business with these artists.

Of course, Ak’s main point of defense for Nicki Minaj’s treatment of Ice Spice was to compare her to her Young Money partner and his fav, Drake. He said that Drizzy rubs a lot of artists the wrong way for taking control of publishing and masters, but the media personality justified this through the notion of the “Drake stimulus package.” He’s already defended this model to death before, so it’s no surprise that he understands why Nicki is moving in the way she’s moving. To be clear, this approach from a massive artist to a relatively smaller one isn’t necessarily an automatic point of condemnation, as any sort of deal in the music industry can turn sour if executed irresponsibly.

DJ Akademiks Speaks On Nicki Minaj’s Label Comments Seemingly Aimed At Ice Spice

Here’s what Nicki Minaj had to say about rappers signing to white labels instead of her Heavy On It imprint, which many saw as an Ice Spice dig. “Motherf***er tell somebody they don’t want to sign with Heavy On It,” she expressed. “But then they’ll go and sign with the white peoples. And guess who the white peoples finna call? Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty. They always get the attention of the Barbz. If your name is not on [the new version of] Pink Friday 2, they’re not a Heavy On It artist.”

Meanwhile, this is what Ice Spice had to say about Nicki Minaj recently. “We don’t have the closest relationship, you know? But we’re definitely good,” she posited. “We’re mutuals. We had smash records together. I love us together. I think the world does too.”

LUCKI & KanKan Respond Harshly To Destroy Lonely’s Latest Diss Track

by

Destroy Lonely is an artist who has been making strong waves on Playboi Carti’s OPIUM label. Overall, he has dropped some massive projects, and his fans adore him. However, over the past year, he has been wrapped up in controversies that have certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of fans. For instance, Lone recently came out and dissed LUCKI in a new snippet that was posted online. “Got my old b*tch so mad that I won’t f*ck her / I done surpassed my favorite rappers, guess I’m lucky,” he rapped.

There was also a shot at KanKan in there, which led to responses from both KanKan and LUCKI. Below, you can see that the two had similar insults, although they took different approaches to calling out the artist. “Y’all paint your nails and wear dresses sometimes. How you wanna be a street guy now?” LUCKI said while on Instagram Live. Meanwhile, KanKan went on an extended Twitter rant where he called Destroy Lonely a “cross-dresser.”

KanKan & Lucki Vs. Destroy Lonely

One has to wonder how Playboi Carti feels about all of this. After all, Destroy Lonely is his artist, and the man represents the OPIUM brand. Meanwhile, Carti is attempting to work on his album which was supposed to drop at some point this year. While there was a ton of hype for a release at the top of the year, we are now left waiting. Only time will tell whether or not the project gets scrapped or ends up shocking people at the last moment of the year.

“I be jacking off, watching TV, eating Doritos and using the phone. That’s pretty much it […] They only got like 12 channels. I’ve been watchin a lot of the news, the Sherri show and The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Blueface explained. “I’m chilling, man. I’m in my environment. It’s like a little break from responsibility. I’m like 180 [pounds] right now; I’ve never been 180 before. I’m getting sized up, I’m about to bounce out looking like a dalmation.”

I’m still on that,” Blueface said. “I think NLE owes me one, too. I’ve seen him out there popping it.”

DJ Akademiks Outlines A Plan For Drake To Overcome Kendrick Lamar Loss

by

DJ Akademiks just offered his latest theory on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, and looked to the 6ix God’s past for a way out of his loss to K.Dot. “I was thinking about, coming off of that whole battle with the Pusha T thing,” Ak’s advice began. “You know why the Pusha T thing didn’t sting as much? Bro, [Drake] immediately had… He had ‘God’s Plan’ already. The n***a had… What else, what else, what else? He had ‘SICKO MODE,’ right, that came out that year. ‘Mob Ties,’ yeah, he had so many hits. Quickly, even if people said he lost to Pusha T, we didn’t feel the ramifications of the aftereffect.

“I think we’re waiting on the next Drake slap, right?” DJ Akademiks continued. “And ‘It’s Up’ is borderline that, but I don’t know if it’s undeniable. I don’t know if Drake is just dropping this because he’s like, ‘Nah, this is going to be it,’ or he’s like, ‘Yo, let me just give y’all some s**t to hold y’all over until I hit you with the real s**t.’

DJ Akademiks Strategizes For Drake’s Comeback

“Because I do believe, if I’m Drake, my best song that I have in my catalog, I don’t care who’s on it, I’ll pay the n***a to get off it,” DJ Akademiks went on. “Like, say you have a feature on it. You need to drop that now, you need to drop that s**t. It don’t have to be number one, but it has to be the s**t that we’re all playing for the next two to three months. And I don’t know the release strategy. That’s one thing me and Drake don’t talk about. I don’t think it’s fair if he talks about that with me, as well.

“The reason why I don’t think it’s fair is because somehow, through and through, I’m probably going to hint to it,” DJ Akademiks concluded. “And I don’t want to ruin or step on what he got going on. He’s the artist, he has the vision, let him rock out. Let me be the journalist, the media personality, and the fan that can do the critique, right? So I’m waiting for the slap, right? ‘Yo, this finna be at every club.’ ‘It’s Up,’ eh, it’s cool.”

Erica Banks Keeps Egging On Renni Rucci Beef By Clowning Her Baby’s Name

by

Erica Banks and Renni Rucci’s beef began back during their Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta days, and it doesn’t seem like it’s letting up any time soon if the former has anything to say about it. Moreover, during a recent conversation, Banks basically clowned the “Bend It Over” femcee amid discussions about what she should name her baby. “You can name her… I don’t give a f**k about what she names her,” Erica remarked. “I don’t even know why the f**k they asked me that. But I could honestly give less than a f**k about what they name that damn baby.”

Of course, this doesn’t really go at Renni Rucci directly, as plenty of readers could probably care less about what even their best friends name their children. But still, it’s hard not to interpret some sort of shade with Erica Banks’ strong words, or at the very least, making it very clear that the “H*e Please” rapper wants nothing to do with Rucci’s personal life or coverage. We wonder if this is even a strong enough stance to respond to, although involving kids in tense situations rarely ends well. Maybe this will be the fuel for another spat or the more likely scenario instead, which is that it won’t really amount to much.

Erica Banks Couldn’t Care Less About Renni Rucci’s Baby’s Name

Regardless, Erica Banks and Renni Rucci are doing their own thing these days and just focused on whatever it is they are the most busy with. For the former, it’s been constant critiques of her BBL, something that she’s shown off proudly and spoken about a lot in the past. For this sort of body image conversation, we know how toxic and superficial they can be on social media, so we don’t blame Banks for her staunchness.

“Don’t waste your whole life looking at comments, you know?” Erica Banks said about the negative backlash. “When I first came into this whole world, you know, it was hard for me to kind of not look at comments. ‘Cause I was new to it, you know? But over time, I was just like, ‘I’m never going to see these people.’ I can’t allow, you know, this app to upset me and hurt my feelings. So, you know, that would just be my best advice to that.”

Soulja Boy Brutally Clowns Blueface Over Four-Year Prison Sentence

by

Soulja Boy and Blueface have been embroiled in a feud for a while now. Overall, the beef was getting extremely personal, and violence was being threatened. However, once Blue found himself in jail for violating parole, things started to die down a little bit. We seldom heard from Blueface, and Soulja was simply doing his thing on social media. Now, the beef has been reignited thanks to some unfortunate circumstances concerning Blue’s legal situation.

As we reported last week, Blueface was sentenced to four years in prison due to his parole violation. However, he is already getting time served and it is likely that he will be home in less than a year, with good behavior. Having said that, it seems as though Soulja Boy is reveling in all of this. Below, you can see that he took to Twitter and shared some laughs at Blue’s expense. There are no real comments here. Just a whole bunch of laughing emojis.

Soulja Boy Gives His Take

Soulja Boy had a similar reaction to Chrisean Rock’s mugshot which was making the rounds over the past few days. Needless to say, the Blueface family will not be engaging in a positive manner with Soulja Boy, anytime soon. This may came as an unfortunate blow to some fans who wanted to see the beef get squashed. Either way, one has to wonder how Blue must feel about Soulja Boy talking like this on social media.

Let us know how you feel about this rant from Soulja, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that the artist is doing too much as it pertains to his beef with Blueface? How do you feel about Blue getting four years in prison? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Latto Shares Her Take On Kendrick Lamar & Drake’s Fierce Feud

by

It’s no secret that Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s viral beef left fans split. While many opted to pick a side in the explosive feud, others remained neutral and decided instead to weigh in on the overall impact of the lyrical battle itself. This includes Latto, who recently shared her take on it during an interview with Billboard. According to her, it was an impressive display of each artist’s skills and was positive for hip-hop as a whole.

“I ain’t going to lie: I liked it! I liked the back-and-forth, I thought it was healthy for the culture. It just felt nostalgic. I don’t think our generation has even seen a rivalry like that, I f****d with it,” she said of the battle. “I feel like it’s two n****s that’s killing this s**t and they both so talented, and they both on they high horse flexing their talent and capabilities. They both still that n****s, they both still the GOAT. That s**t fye for the culture, bruh.”

Latto’s been wrapped up in a bit of a feud herself with none other than Ice Spice, though she explained during the interview that she’s not taking it too seriously. According to her, it doesn’t seem as though the Bronx-born performer is interested in a full-fledged beef, so she’s opted to keep it light.

“If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like Imma go tit for tat with,” she claimed. “I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. It’s two different types of vibes.” What do you think of Latto’s take on Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s viral feud? Do you agree with her or not?

JT Shows No Mercy To Her Hip-Hop Opps On New Mixtape “City Cinderella”

by

JT’s new mixtape City Cinderella is a pretty explosive affair, due not just to the bombastic nature of the instrumentals, but also to her lyrical content. Moreover, many rap fans caught some possible shots at some of her perceived hip-hop rivals, and although there’s nothing direct, it’s combative enough for some understandable assumptions. For example, there’s the former City Girl’s intro, which many thought was a reference to Cardi B and her alleged NSFW treatment of a bottle onstage, which she denied was her. “Non-rapping b***h, who the f**k you talking to? / I was off in Saks, Gucci alligator bags / While you were laying on your back and stuffing bottles up your a**,” she rapped on the cut.

Furthermore, JT’s alleged Cardi B disses continued on “Lemon Pepper” with Stunna Girl, calling back to when Cardi mocked her jail stint and called her “prison pants.” “JT a convicted felon and I’m still on they a** / These Rick Owens, boo, these ain’t prison pants,” she rapped. However, Bardi isn’t the only alleged target, as GloRilla also seemed to catch some strays given their previous beef. “Now I’m hated by a b***h with a man voice,” the Florida femcee spits on “Swang.”

Glo beef aside, JT opened up about why she made City Cinderella a mixtape in her Paper cover story. “People work on their albums for a year, albums are just different. So City Cinderella is not my first album, being that I made this project so damn fast,” she elaborated. “I had to create this project throughout the tour and moving around, so I didn’t have time to really nurture and doctor it. This is just something that I’m putting out with my pure instincts.”

Meanwhile, JT will go on tour soon to celebrate and roll out the release of City Cinderella, so grab your tickets if you want in a good time. We’re sure that some other bars on this mixtape might aim at other rappers, but these are just the big suspects on initial listens. Whether they’re intentional or not, the message is pretty clear, and we don’t know if the targets will respond. Hopefully folks can stop sneak dissing each other and focus more on their own musical story… if they’re not going to go direct, that is.
