Playboi Carti Responds To Adin Ross’ Reaction To His New Song “ALL RED”

by

Playboi Carti and Adin Ross have a pretty complicated relationship these days. This is because of their disastrous livestream from back in February that allegedly cost the streamer $2 million for just about ten minutes of very limited conversation with the Atlanta creative. Since then, Ross hasn’t been very pro-Carti. That being said, feelings change over time, and the new hype behind his I AM MUSIC album rollout could change this dynamic somewhat. Moreover, the Kick giant’s reaction to the new track “ALL RED” shows that he can separate his personal experiences with the artist from his enjoyment of the music itself.

“Nah, this s**t hard, though,” Adin Ross said at one point of his recent livestream, and Playboi Carti even responded to this via his Instagram account. “@adinross YOU AINT GOT TO LIKE ME BUT I RESPECT YOU KEEPING IT REAL ABOUT MY MUSIC SOME S**T JUST UNDENIABLE,” he captioned a post of a screenshot of Ross’ stream. Carti’s new track wasn’t as well received by everyone, though, but the social media personality’s short words on the subject actually sum up the general consensus quite well.

Playboi Carti Respects Adin Ross’ “ALL RED” Reaction

However, “ALL RED” also resulted in some legitimate confusion, albeit mostly critical comparisons. Fans couldn’t tell whether or not this was a new Playboi Carti song or a new Future track, pointing out the vocal and flow similarities between both rappers. Carti’s usually someone who pulls from his own unique arsenal of voices, but this deep-voiced experimentation might be his riskiest vocal move yet. Either way, there are plenty of other fans who love this style and how it’s evolved from early displays like “FE!N.” Actually, it’s wild to think how little time it took for this to become a trademark sound in the King Vamp catalog.

Nevertheless, if you still feel like he sounds like Future, we understand. Regardless, Adin Ross’ reaction to “ALL RED” shows that things don’t always have to stay personal, resulting in mutual respect. Elsewhere, Playboi Carti also hyped up more collaborations with Kanye West on I AM MUSIC (or just MUSIC? We’ll find out…). There’s a lot to express excitement over these days, so let’s just be patient for what’s to come.

Nicki Minaj Reacts To Lil Wayne’s Vulnerable Super Bowl Snub Response

by

Last weekend, Kendrick Lamar announced that he’ll be headlining the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans. The news prompted mixed reactions from social media users. While some can’t wait to see Kendrick take the stage in February, others think the opportunity should have gone to Lil Wayne. Weezy took to Instagram yesterday to issue a response to the outrage, revealing that he was incredibly hurt by the decision.

“That hurt,” he said in part. “I thought that there was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city. So it hurt, it hurt a whole lot.” The heartfelt video has since earned sympathy from his supporters and peers, including Nicki Minaj. She was among the first to call out Jay-Z and Roc Nation for the apparent snub. Now, she’s taken to Lil Wayne’s comments section to show her support, and to offer him some words of encouragement.

Nicki Minaj Leaves Lil Wayne Some Words Of Encouragement

“This too, shall pass,” her message begins. “But what you have done for the hip-hop culture will remain. It will stand the TEST of time. Many times our greatest & most dehumanizing test is just a way for God to get the glory. You were simply used in a war of egos. To ppl who are empty inside, all they have is their temporary power.”

While some Instagram users in DJ Akademiks’ comments section can’t blame Nicki for being upset, others think the paragraph was a bit much. After all, there’s no saying whether or not Lil Wayne would have had a guaranteed spot as a headliner if it weren’t for Kendrick. What do you think of Nicki Minaj responding to Lil Wayne’s video about not headlining the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show earlier today? Do they have a right to be this upset, or is this too much? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

6ix9ine Appears To React To Lil Tjay’s Alleged Gang Indictment

by

6ix9ine has many, many detractors within the rap game, and one of his biggest rivals as of late is allegedly in a sticky situation. Moreover, Lil Tjay’s name allegedly appears in a 21-person gang indictment against various individuals accused of carrying out 14 different shootings in the Bronx as part of the $laughtery or $lattery Gang. That’s still a very early story in development, so keep your eyes peeled for a more official or conclusive update. Nevertheless, Tekashi seemed to react to this on his Instagram Story on Friday (September 13), typing a whole lot of crying-laughing emojis in his post.

However, anyone familiar with 6ix9ine’s legal issues should know that he doesn’t have much to laugh about at the end of the day. After all, there’s reportedly an international warrant out for his arrest from the Dominican Republic, per local outlet El Diario. If you didn’t hear, this stems from an October 2023 arrest over alleged assault of two producers in the country, which the New York MC is supposedly “in rebellion” against. We haven’t gotten any updates on that at press time, so we’ll see how much of a headache it will be.

As for 6ix9ine’s rivalry with Lil Tjay, this indictment news (if true) puts the former at an advantage. But it’s only a technicality, because the latter took a pretty big step to outwardly disrespect Tekashi and keep things personal and specifically directed at each other. Tjay gave the “GUMMO” artist’s ex-girlfriend a chain amid their pretty contentious break-up and public falling out. Even though it’s easy to laugh at legal trouble from beyond the screen, the one-on-one aspect remains in question.

Elsewhere, 6ix9ine definitely channeled these feelings into his new diss song against his ex, Yailín La Más Viral. We know that he switches up his sound and approach in the limelight every once in a while, so we wonder how much this phase will last. Either way, it seems like Tekashi is still happy to be a troll and seek out more arguments with the hip-hop game. These games of back-and-forth karma trades continue…

Earlier this week, Taylor Swift took to Instagram to endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States. She penned a lengthy message about Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, explaining how she feels as though their values align with hers. “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” she wrote. “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”

Charlamagne Tha God Has A Meesage For Kendrick Lamar

by

The hip-hop world is ablaze today thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s new song, with every corner of the culture chiming in either with a dismissive “No thanks” or enthusiastic breakdowns. Many folks wonder whether this is a Drake diss, an album rollout kickoff, or something else entirely. But the main point of discussion for many in the rap game is all the criticism that K.Dot has for the culture: the media industries, the consumers, the influencers, etc. Well, The Breakfast Club discussed this new untitled track, which is going by many names in the discourse right now. Charlamagne Tha God’s take was particularly interesting because of its assessment of Kendrick’s goals.

“It’s very dope,” Charlamagne Tha God said of Kendrick Lamar’s new song. “Like you said, Lauren, I don’t believe the record is just about Drake. I think he’s talking about just the culture. People in the world, society, the industry, media. And I’ma tell you something, Kendrick: you gon’ drive yourself crazy, okay? The only thing you can do is continue to be the change you want to see in the world. ‘Cause this ain’t stopping no time soon. It’s just not. You know what I mean? *laughs* We’re too far gone. Like, God himself would have to come back, and even then, they would not believe it! *laughs* Even then, man, Wu-Tang’s ‘Triumph’ could start playing and a big toe could come from the sky and Jesus himself could come down, and they would make him have to prove himself. ‘That ain’t walking on water, that’s A.I.’”

Of course, this is a pretty common sentiment online, at least for those that agree with Kendrick Lamar’s thoughts on the culture. Many see the fight for hip-hop’s “soul” as a losing battle, much like what Charlamagne Tha God expressed. But there are hundreds of turns of phrases we could use here to symbolize that change doesn’t happen overnight. It’s clear that there’s still a lot more left in this saga that will inform this move.

Meanwhile, a lot of folks wonder what Kendrick Lamar’s next move will be. While this seems like a pretty surefire album rollout, we also can’t really predict anything when it comes to him. With that in mind, we’ll just have to be patient and stay on our toes.

Lecrae & Dee-1 React To Kendrick Lamar’s Surprise Release Shoutouts

by

Last night, Kendrick Lamar took the internet by storm by surprise releasing a new track on Instagram. The song, which fans have dubbed “Watch the Party Die,” sees him pick apart the music industry and modern culture. At different points, he even namedrops Christian rappers Lecrae and Dee-1, applauding them for their character.

“Sometimes I wonder what Lecrae would do / F*ck these n***as up or show ’em just what prayer do?” he rhymes towards the end of the song. “I want to be empathetic, my heart like Dee-1 / But I would—,” he spits at another point, omitting an apparent threat. Of course, Dee-1 and Lecrae wasted no time and quickly took to Twitter/X to share their reactions to the shoutout.

“Love you Dot…. Always here,” Lecrae wrote simply alongside a prayer emoji. Dee-1 shared an old photo of him and Kendrick, thanking him for mentioning him and delivering a hopeful remark about the future. “I appreciate the shoutout brother. @kendricklamar [heart emoji] More than you’ll ever know. A shift is happening. The time is now! [prayer emoji].” As expected, Dee-1 and Lecrae are far from the only ones to share their reactions to Kendrick’s new song recently.

Shortly after it dropped, for example, DJ Akademiks took to his comments section with a brief but telling message. “No no noooo,” he wrote. Some listeners believe that Kendrick took aim at him subliminally on his latest drop, suggesting that he’s been too loyal to Drake over the past few months. “Influencers talk down ’cause I’m not with the basic sh*t,” Lamar raps. “But they don’t hate me, they hate the man that I represent / The type of man that never d*ck ride ’cause I want a favor.” What do you think of Kendrick Lamar’s new track? What about him name-dropping Lecrae and Dee-1? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Drake Allegedly Couldn’t Help But Laugh About Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Announcement

by

With Kendrick Lamar being the official Halftime Show performer at this year’s Super Bowl, there are a lot of angles to this headline. Obviously, the most glaring thing to dissect is that Lil Wayne was not chosen yet again to grace one of the biggest stages in music. People are especially upset given the fact that the championship game is once again in New Orleans (third time in the last 22 years). However, the other way to look at this is, “How will this affect The Boy”? The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has been a major talking point all year for a lot of reasons.

Pretty recently, the Canadian rapper was indirectly offering up a round two to K-Dot. However, the latter seems to be pretty uninterested based on his pretty obvious response in the announcement video. “You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship. No round two’s“. Since that earth-shattering move, Drizzy has been silent on the matter. But according to MAL of New Rory & MAL podcast, he’s got some tea to spill direct from the source.

Drake Appears To Not Be Bothered About Kendrick Lamar Performing At The Super Bowl

MAL revealed he allegedly spoke with Drake casually, but the Super Bowl announcement came up as well. Rory asked his co-host if he could reveal any of what was said between them; however, MAL went against providing any details. However, what he did say was “A lot of it was just laughing, man. It’s just like ‘word this is what y’all want to see? Like okay’”. Based on what MAL had to say, it seems he’s against the choice and is team Drizzy all the way. His co-hosts argued against MAL’s claims that no one wants to see Lamar, using Nicki Minaj as the example of being the entire internet. Fans in the comment section were quick to roast him for that. “I guess Nicki Minaj is “the whole internet”, one X user replies to the clip.

What are your thoughts on Drake supposedly laughing off Kendrick Lamar being picked to perform at the Super Bowl? Are you buying into the theory that Charlamagne tha God had yesterday even more so now? Are you upset that Lamar is doing the Halftime Show, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

DJ Akademiks Speaks On Rappers’ Reactions To Rich Homie Quan’s Death

by

Rich Homie Quan spent over a decade crafting his artistry in the game before his untimely loss, even if the peaks of his powers came and went some years ago in many fans’ eyes. But hardcore listeners know that he kept releasing music all throughout, and that he still had a lot of compelling ideas and creative decisions in his art. Moreover, many hip-hop figures have commented on how the Atlanta artist’s legacy will change and evolve now that he’s no longer with us, with some thinking that this reappraisal is coming off as fake from a few select MCs and producers out there. DJ Akademiks expressed a similar sentiment on his livestream. Specifically, he compared this situation to another recent rap tragedy. “There’s so many Atlanta rappers who I’ve seen chime in, as well,” Ak began. “I haven’t posted all of them, honestly.

“The reason why I didn’t post all of them is ’cause I got the feeling that I felt when I was talking to PnB Rock,” DJ Akademiks continued. “I can tell you how the PnB Rock interview happened. PnB Rock and me weren’t best friends. PnB Rock did an interview, his last interview on my platform because none of these industry n***as f***ed with him. We talked for two hours. Before we started the interview, he told me how every single artist – The artist that was crying the most when he died? ‘Yeah, I’m waiting on this n***a to give me a verse. But that n***a playing around. Like, n***a switched up on me.’ Obviously, I will not say names, because he never said this on camera. He said it to me personally. I was so shocked and disappointed. All the n***as he was complaining about who didn’t f**k with him no more, they were the n***as that acted like they were the most hurt.

“They were devastated,” DJ Akademiks went on. “‘Oh, that was my brother!’ This industry is a very fake place. Go watch the interview back I did with PnB Rock. A lot of it is him talking about how things have changed over the years. When he came in the game and when he got hot, cool. But he made a couple of mistakes as a young [man], and a lot of things changed. Rich Homie Quan, the same thing. And I always tell y’all. With these artists, I get the real interview before. Whatever y’all see on camera, that’s not the real interview. They gon’ tell me the truth about all these f**k n***as off camera, when they know I’m not recording. Same with Rich Homie Quan.

“‘All these Atlanta n***as, oh, they just now started feeling it’s cool to f**k with me. I don’t got no problem with bro, but it’s ’cause bro locked up now. These n***as d**k-riders,’” DJ Akademiks quoted. “This is what Quan is telling me! Quan dies? The whole Atlanta, ‘Oh my God, we love you, Quan!‘ Some of the n***as he even said wouldn’t f**k with him. He couldn’t get a beat from, couldn’t get a verse from… I look on the ‘Gram, ‘I know it ain’t you!’ But it ain’t my place once again. It ain’t on me to be like, ‘You know Quan told me you was a f**k n***a who stopped f***ing with him at this time because of this issue?’ But you want to – I won’t even say nothing. It’s cool. But I only say that to contextualize it to let you know that a lot of these n***as… They’re only a funeral delivery service for your flowers. They ain’t gon’ show up when you alive.”

Rich Homie Quan’s Father Breaks His Silence On Rapper’s Death

by

Yesterday, Rich Homie Quan’s family confirmed that the rapper has passed away at the age of 34. At the time of writing, his cause of death has yet to be confirmed. Audio from a 911 call obtained by TMZ, however, revealed that his girlfriend Amber Williams called the police shortly after finding him unresponsive on their couch. Of course, the tragic news has prompted countless fans, peers, and loved ones to post tributes to the late artist on social media.

Most recently, Rich Homie Quan’s father Corey Lamar took to his Instagram Story to share a message with his followers. “Unbearable pain,” the message began. “Lord please please please help me to understand this. To lose my son… my 1st born, my best friend. Lord let this be a dream…. Yall pray for me and my family. I feel like I’m crushed into a million pieces.”

Earlier, for example, Ralo also hopped online to call out those who previously accused Quan of snitching.

“Y’all n***as be so fake. The whole world was just calling this man, Rich Homie Quan, a rat. Soon as he die, ‘Oh, that was my friend. I love him.’ Boy, y’all n***as so goddamn fake ’round this motherf***er, man,” he said. What do you think of Rich Homie Quan’s father Corey Lamar’s recent statement on his son’s passing?

DDG & Halle Bailey React To Halo Becoming A Hilarious Meme

by

At the end of last year, Halle Bailey and DDG welcomed their first child, a son named Halo. The baby arrived amid rampant pregnancy rumors, which both of them continuously denied. Since Halo’s birth, they’ve been providing fans with countless fun updates on their journey as parents. Recently, for example, one of them shared an adorable clip of him on what appears to be a train ride at the mall for kids.

He looked incredibly unsure of the situation, which social media users quickly took and ran with. It’s now a meme going viral on TikTok, as users add their own captions to the clip for hilarious results. “Me lookin at the [ninja emoji] who decided to sit by me when it’s 100 empty seats,” one of them reads. “Me looking at my bank account after a spending spree,” another says.

Of course, it didn’t take very long for Halo’s parents to catch on, and DDG didn’t waste any time before taking to Twitter/X to weigh in. “Who made my son into a meme,” he asked alongside a series of laughing emojis before posting one of them on his page. “My son more lit than me, i love it,” he added. As for Bailey, she simply shared one of them on X with a crying laughing emoji.

This isn’t the first time Halo’s made headlines as of late, however. Back in July, he got his first lineup at just six months old. Social media users were quick to call DDG out for allowing this, arguing that it could impact his hairline. He made it clear he was unfazed by the criticism, however, urging haters to “worry ’bout your own kids.” What do you think of Halle Bailey and DDG’s son Halo becoming a viral meme?
