50 Cent Surprisingly Expresses Regret Over Cam’ron & Fat Joe Beef

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mincing words and feeling regret aren’t common strategies employed by 50 Cent’s public persona, but there are always at least some reflections to make on what he could’ve done differently. Surprisingly, he applied this to some of his old rap beefs during an expansive and multi-faceted recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Moreover, Fif spoke on his feuds with Cam’ron, Fat Joe, and others during the 2000s, particularly within New York’s competitive mainstream scene. While some of these battles saw some prompt and proper resolutions, others became more contentious. Looking back, he seems to regret taking these issues so seriously and for so long.

“Look, I think we wasted too much time arguing,” 50 Cent answered when asked whether or not he regrets anything in his career. “Me and Fat Joe, me and Cam’ron. There’s other guys like Jada [Jadakiss], we cleared it up easier. But we wasted time because it was just the competitive nature. It wasn’t like we crossed paths and had real heat for each other. It went on more with Joe because he’s more like me, he’s closer in character to me. When we’re at odds, we are at odds, and we did that for a long time.

“And because of his loyalty to Irv [Gotti] and Ja [Rule], because he worked with them, I was seeing him not be happy from the things that were making me happy,” 50 Cent went on. “It’s easy for me to say, ‘F**k you’ if what makes me happy makes you unhappy. Then, we’re not on the same page and it turns into some s**t, and I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly happened.

“When you look back at it, you go, ‘Wait, what happened?’” 50 Cent concluded. “Because we didn’t even have no altercation or no specific thing that created it. Now he’s like my friend. I don’t care that he has relationships with people that I don’t. Because he’s always had those relationships.” Elsewhere during this interview, the G-Unit mogul also spoke on his distaste for Diddy, Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar, and many more revelations from his wide-ranging and versatile career.

6ix9ine Scam Almost Went Down, Donz Stacks Says, But He Chose Not To Do It

December 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Even years after his initial rise and fall in the rap game, 6ix9ine is still a hot topic of conversation around the community. Moreover, New York drill rapper Donz Stacks recently appeared on No Jumper with Adam22 and Skinnyfromthe9 to talk about the rainbow-haired MC, among many other topics. One of the things they discussed was an opportunity that Stacks had to scam him out of some cash, which he said his entourage was a big fan of. However, he didn’t end up doing so, and also spoke on the implications of him working with a “snitch.” Donz stood by his clean record in that regard, and said that people just have to get their bag in more ways than one.

Another 6ix9ine topic that they discussed was his controversial collaboration with Kodak Black. Well, that was controversial for Yak and less so for Tekashi, but still, it’s something that even caused beef to ensue between various rap figures involved. In fact, the No Jumper conversation even points to 6ix9ine’s manager, Wack 100, wanting to sign Donz Stacks. However, despite this initial wish, because of how his client’s relationship with Donz soured, Stacks thinks that he wouldn’t be able to be as warm and welcoming now.

Donz Stacks On 6ix9ine: Watch

Meanwhile, this is all the least of the “GOOBA” artist’s worries right now, as he’s dealing will legal trouble both in the States and overseas. For example, a court recently ordered him to pay $10 million to an alleged assault victim because he failed to show up in court. Not only that, but the alleged victim claims that 6ix9ine tried to hide all his assets and deliberately block her attempts to get compensation for her troubles. Whether he eventually coughs it up is a question for another time.

As Tekashi waits in the Dominican Republic, where he’s supposed to stay for six months because of other legal trouble, it seems like he’s building up a lot to answer for. While his hype as an artist died down, we’re sure that he will always have an antic up his sleeve or some big case that will draw a lot of interest. We’ll see if the New York provocateur ends up switching this formula up. For more news and the latest updates on 6ix9ine, log back into HNHH.

T.I. Regrets Gucci Mane Reconciliation Not Happening Sooner

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For fans of the Atlanta trap scene- or rap in general, at this point- the feud between T.I. and Gucci Mane should come as no surprise. For those unaware, though, a brief history: back in 2012, Gucci and Jeezy were also at odds, with Tip siding firmly with the latter. Then, Guwop took shots at his Atlanta trap predecessor, which he dodged by deeming him as unimportant, and later claimed that he invented trap music, which T.I. was obviously quick to correct. Furthermore, a couple more shots were fired, there were some more claims and side-taking, but things died down a little bit in the coming years.

As such, it was a welcome and heartening surprise when the two rappers patched things up at Gucci Mane’s Breath Of Fresh Air album release party in October of this year in their home city. However, T.I. thinks that they should’ve landed on this bread-breaking way sooner. Moreover, he reflected on this with DJ Whoo Kid on his podcast Whoo’s House last week (at press time). While the Trap Muzik icon doesn’t necessarily see it as a thing to “make up” over, he did acknowledge that they let things go too far in their beef.

T.I. Reflects On Patching Things Up With Gucci Mane: Watch

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘made up;’ you make up with a girlfriend,” T.I. told the host, which could’ve been a joke or a serious issue with how the story is framed. Regardless, he went on to speak briefly but earnestly about his mended relationship with Gucci Mane. “We both enjoyed ourselves, I think, you know what I’m saying? Something that we probably should’ve did a while ago.” Check out Tip’s remarks on the matter at the 5:30 mark of the video above.

Meanwhile, he was one of many people who praised the reconciliation between Gucci and Jeezy back in 2020. With that and other examples, we know that the 43-year-old always puts the past behind him, as long as folks deserve it. Hopefully we hear more stories like these instead of further instances of rappers turning against each other. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on T.I. and Gucci Mane.

Tyrese’s Ex-Wife Regrets Divorce, Says Bad Influences Got The Best Of Her

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyrese’s ex-wife, Samantha Lee, recently added a wildly different but compelling side to their nasty divorce story. For those unaware, the two are currently feuding quite heavily over the circumstances and post-breakup divisions in their relationship, whether on personal terms or in court. However, it seems like this bad blood hasn’t blinded her to what she sees as a mistake. Moreover, Lee recently appeared on the Hardly Initiated podcast with co-hosts Ryan Catchings and Tysean Jackson. During her appearance, she recalled how over three years of marriage went down the drain because of bad influences.

“It’s very important to seek wise counsel,” Samantha Lee remarked of the Tyrese situation. “You have to really decide and make a very calculated decision based on your belief systems. “I think we do take divorce very casually. I would never tell a woman to walk through that. [Not] in the same frame as I was when I did it. I was very, very, hurt, I was very angry. I remember when I made the decision. [When] I was hysterically crying on the phone with my attorney, I was not in any position to make that decision, I was extremely emotionally intoxicated. I would never tell somebody to make that decision when they’re that emotional but of course, I wasn’t talking to someone that genuinely would be for marriage or for reconciliation.

“That’s no slight to my attorney,” Samantha Lee continued about her split from Tyrese. “At the time when I was on the phone and I made that decision, I was livid. I was emotional. If I’m that emotional and I’m that hurt and I’m on that level, if it’s misguided and misdirected it could go in a bad direction. The people I had in my ear at the time were not for that. The truth about the matter is that if I had different people in my ear at that time I would not have made that decision. I’m an extremely emotional person. There will be moments where, like, ’I’m ready to be done, I can’t stand this! He don’t do this!’ We’re just focusing on these things. You don’t have a certain person in your life to check you and say ‘Sis, what about this, what about these strengths?’

“You may not be thinking about when you’re upset,” she concluded. “You’re only thinking about what you’re mad about, you’re not thinking about all the other positive aspects of this person. So in those moments, you need somebody to be that person for that person in those moments. You don’t win when a family is broken apart. There was a marital therapist that was speaking to both me and him. He said when you get lawyers involved, it gets ugly. I didn’t even realize how ugly it would get. Like, if I could walk back in time… Sometimes I battle with myself about that. But at the time, I thought I was doing the right thing or the best thing. I didn’t know how ugly it could get.” For more news and the latest updates on Tyrese, stick around on HNHH.

Tinashe Continues Chris Brown Beef By Liking Tweet Suggesting He’s “Butthurt”

September 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tinashe and Chris Brown’s mounting beef just got a subtle, harmless, but nonetheless spicy escalation. For those unaware, the two sparked conflict when the former expressed regret over their collaboration, explaining that her label made them link. Then, Breezy clapped back by asking fans to name five songs from the BB/ANG3L artist, which prompted a lot of debate online. Regardless, thanks to a new tweet that Tinashe liked, it seems like things aren’t over just yet, even if it’s through a innocuous and low-key action. Moreover, she recently liked a tweet that insinuates that the Virginia native is “butthurt” over a rejection.

“You already know we riding with you!” the tweet that Tinashe liked began. “I got a good feeling you rejected Chris and he’s still butthurt over it! That would explain his hostility and weird obsession with you lol.” Furthermore, it’s unclear if the tweeter is insinuating a romantic advance or if Chris Brown knew that she didn’t want to do their song together beforehand. Either way, it implies that the 30-year-old believes there’s something deeper behind Brown’s anger.

Even Tinashe’s Liked Tweets Are Making People Continue The Chris Brown Beef

However, from what Tinashe said during her reflection, it’s unclear whether she didn’t want to work with Chris Brown because of his abusive and controversial image or if she just didn’t think he would fit the track. Of course, many assume that the former is the case, and rightfully so. After all, before talking about their track “Player,” the Kentucky singer said that she regrets working with R. Kelly due to label demands. With both artists having a troubled past of abhorrent behavior (albeit to different degrees), it’s not hard to draw that line.

Meanwhile, the “Run It” superstar wants to move on from all that, and posits that people can change for the better. “I think people think I have a careless outlook on it,” he told Shannon Sharpe during a recent interview. “It’s not that I have a careless outlook. It’s that I don’t care to make you believe that I’m a great person or a good person. I try to stay in my lane, get outta the way, don’t bother nobody. But I’m not gonna take no nonsense.” On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and updates on Chris Brown and Tinashe.

Busta Rhymes Chose A Show With Chris Brown Over His Son’s Graduation

August 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview, Busta Rhymes reflected on his achievements. He also opened up about some of the guilt that he deals with due to his “shortcomings” along the way. The artist reveals that missing out of some major milestones in his kids’ lives has made an impact on him. “Living with that for a long time is hard,” he explains. “Because it’s like when and how can I fix it? And you never get an answer to that.“

“When me and Chris Brown performed ‘Look At Me Now’ at BET when Lil Wayne did not do it with us, I missed my son’s high school graduation, my oldest son’s,” he began. “I came home from that and he was upset, and Greenhouse was still open. I threw a party for him at Greenhouse and I had Jim Jones perform, and Ace Hood perform, and I performed. He was happy about the party but he still wasn’t happy about me missing his high school graduation.”

Busta Rhymes Has Lived To Regret It

“I lived with that sh*t for a long time,” Busta Rhymes then shares. “It didn’t matter how much I wanted to say sorry, I knew that it wouldn’t be enough.” He continues, revealing that he hopes his children can forgive him for ways he hasn’t lived up to their expectations. “You hope that one day they understand that the sacrifice that was made was the lesser of the two evils,” he says.

He later went on to weigh the pros and cons of his career, or falling back to be with family. “You’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t,” he explains. He claims that though it’s difficult to grapple with the guilt of missing moments in his family’s life, he’s got to do what he’s got to do. Busta Rhymes says that he does what he can to make sure they’re taken care of, and all he can do is just hope that one day they get it.

Travis Scott & Kylie Jenner Legally Change Son’s Name, Regret Initial Choice

March 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Even though your birth name sounds like a big deal, what you’re given on your first days of life is not set in stone. Travis Scott & Kylie Jenner decided to legally change their son Wolf’s name to Aire. Moreover, court documents obtained by TMZ indicate that the couple filed to change their child’s name in legal paperwork. Also, they clarified that both parents are in agreement with the switch, and that both signed off on documents now up for court examination. While authorities have yet to sign off, it’s hard to think of a reason not to allow such a process.

Furthermore, the docs read that Travis and Kylie “regret the initial name choice of Wolf Jacques Webster. Now that Petitioners have had the chance to spend time with their baby, they believe the name Aire Webster is a better fit.” Of course, readers may remember this decision’s reveal as early as March of 2022. Even though Aire was just a few weeks old, they felt the name “Wolf” didn’t suit him and had a change of heart.

Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Legally Change Son’s Name From Wolf To Aire

In January of 2023, the social media and lifestyle mogul revealed his new name to the world. In fact, it was just a few weeks before Aire celebrated his very first birthday, not without some controversy. Moreover, the name is of Hebrew origin and reportedly means “Lion of God.” Not only that, but the change actually fits the “aesthetic” of the family, if that’s even a valid consideration. After all, his sister’s name is Stormi, and his father’s Nike collaborations also kind of inform this more fitting name.

Unfortunately, it looks like this process won’t change the couple’s currently split status. For example, an OK! report cited sources allegedly close to the two. “[Kylie] has no idea what the future holds,” the insider reportedly stated. “But right now she doesn’t see any type of a reconciliation. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters to Kylie is what’s best for her kids, period. She knows Travis is an amazing father and that’s the only thing that she cares about.” Regardless of your take on all that, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner.

Drake Regrets Calling Out Ex-Girlfriends In His Music

February 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It seems the Certified Lover Boy wishes he spoke on his losses romantically in a different light. Drake recently opened up about regretting how he aired out ex-girlfriends in his music in his recent interview with Lil Yachty. Moreover, he specifically mentioned that one former partner in particular made him rethink how his lyrics could affect their lives. Of course, this was also the same interview where the 6 God pondered a “graceful exit” from the rap game (don’t worry, it’s not happening yet). With that in mind, maybe the Canadian superstar is considering the different ways in which his legacy will endure- and what he could do now to solidify it the way he wants to.

“I hate hearing that s**t,” he said of his track “Weston Road Flows, particularly a line in which he said he’d retire at 35. Furthermore, now he views the proclamation as pretty ageist. “I heard it the other night. I think that and some times when I’ve said girls’ names in songs, maybe those are the two things that I look back on and I’m like, ‘Maybe I coulda done without, like, s***ting on people for age or disrupting somebody’s life.’ The lyrics are never with ill intent, but I had somebody tell me one time, ‘You know, it’s not necessarily what you’re saying about me, it’s the fact that you said it.’”

Drake Discusses Ex-Girlfriends With Lil Yachty

Moreover, he elaborated on why that conversation with his ex led him to reflect on what other effect his bars potentially have. “Just in the sense like, ‘You don’t know what it does to me. You don’t know who my boyfriend is at the time or you don’t know what my family knows or doesn’t know. And if you express any form of discontent for me and call me by name in a song, then all of a sudden I’m left to pick up the pieces of my own life that I’ve tried to build up for myself.’ So I’ve tried my best to stop doing that. But I like to be honest in music too, so that one’s a push and pull.”

Meanwhile, the topic of retirement is one Drizzy’s often visited, although these relationship regrets are brand-new (at least publicly). Speaking to Nicki Minaj on her Queen Radio show in August 2022, he said that releasing music is still the most exciting thing in the world. “I’m not at that point where I even consider that being an option,” he shared to Onika. “One of the best feelings I have in my life is completing a song or project. And by the way, those things are painful as well. A lot of nerves, a lot of confidence wavering. But I feel like I’m reaching a new level of fun.” Let us know what you think of his reflections down below and return to HNHH for the latest on Drake.
