Saweetie & YG Are Boo’d Up On Night Out Amid Chris Brown & Quavo Drama

April 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Despite Chris Brown and Quavo dragging her name through the mud in their response diss tracks to each other, Saweetie and her partner YG are seemingly partying through it all. Moreover, they recently went on a club outing for one of Power 106‘s anniversary parties on Thursday night (April 25). While it’s obviously impossible to assume their attitudes, mental spaces, and moods with just one clip, it seems like they were at least relaxed and just happy to be there. Whether or not they’re actually worrying about this situation or whether it’s caused a bump on their journey, they’re certainly not letting the cameras find out.

Furthermore, for those unaware, Saweetie actually responded to Quavo mentioning that he can turn any model into her by posting a screenshot of an alleged DM that the former Migo sent her back in January, which she still hadn’t opened. He hasn’t responded to this move publicly at press time, and we wonder whether or not he thought that his bars would come across as more defensive than mocking. Regardless, she hasn’t really said much about Chris Brown and about how he claimed to have slept with her while she was with Quavo in the first place, opening up this whole can of worms. This is all mostly speculative, but you can start to see where the tea really gets interesting in this whole debacle.

Of course, there’s a good chance that the Icy Girl will respond to some of this on her upcoming single, which she has teased quite heavily and much to fan excitement. After all, she recently suggested that she might rewrite some bars for it while this whole beef between Quavo and Chris Brown was heating up with diss tracks and responses. No matter how Saweetie chooses to handle this moving forward, YG’s seemingly got her back. But we know that things can change quickly, especially behind closed doors that we can’t peep behind just yet.

For example, this couple were recently the subject of breakup rumors themselves, so we can only wish them the best moving forward. Still, what do you think about this whole situation? However you may feel, let us know your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, check back in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Saweetie, YG, Chris Brown, and Quavo.

SZA Has A Big Problem With Online Haters For This Reason

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As one of the biggest superstars in music right now, it’s fair to say that SZA’s dealt with an unfair amount of hate online for a sadly large variety of reasons. People aren’t just content with hating on one’s art anymore: they have to speak on their looks, their words, their moves, their friends… it’s a lot to handle, but surely something that stardom, passion, and moolah can alleviate. Still, the St. Louis singer -– who’s yet to drop LANA thanks to leaks -– thinks that some folks aren’t genuine in their negativity, or at least, that they hate for the wrong reasons.

“Pretending someone is wack Or untalented cause you don’t like them personally is so lame to me lmao,” SZA wrote on Twitter on Wednesday night (April 24). “U gotta Get that hater s**t up out cha spirit.” Funnily enough, this also kind of relates to a recent instance in which her manager, TDE’s Punch, had to defend her amid some hate she received from Brian “B.Dot” Miller. He called a Spotify billboard proclaiming “Snooze” as the best R&B song of the streaming era “propaganda,” causing Punch to clap back and say that he can’t be a hater for his whole career. At least this seemed in good spirits and merely a disagreement over a single song, but maybe they just had to play it off for social media.

SZA’s Words Of Wisdom On Haters

Elsewhere, SZA is also not afraid to speak up on issues much larger than music that will definitely earn her a lot of hate due to the difficult and divisive nature of them. For example, she recently said “Free Palestine” at a New Zealand concert, referring to the current abhorrent conflict between Israel and Palestine that, despite its roots tracing back centuries, particularly escalated recently in a way that is causing a lot of death and destruction. While it is a firm stance, perhaps the most important takeaway from artists doing things like this is how it brings attention to the issue and encourages folks to do their research and understand the issue for themselves. It shouldn’t merely result in blind following for either cause.

Meanwhile, this year’s Hal David Starlight Award recipient, an honor from the Songwriters Hall of Fame, is poised to continue her massive success and streak of astonishments all throughout 2024. Hopefully less haters flood her social media on this journey, but we know she can handle them. Regardless, and speaking of which, what do you think about this advice? Let us know in the comments section down below, and keep checking in with HNHH for the latest updates on SZA.

Joyner Lucas Denies Asking DaBaby To Start Fake Rap Beef

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DaBaby recently sparked a lot of debate, theories, and amused speculation among the rap community online thanks to some recent and curious claims. Moreover, he was Shaquille O’Neal’s most recent guest on his show, The Big Podcast, whose newest episode aired on Wednesday (April 24). During their conversation, the North Carolina rapper claimed that a famous rapper, a particularly lyrically-minded one, recently reached out to him to fabricate a rap beef. While he denied his request, a lot of folks theorized as to who this mystery instigator could be. For some reason, the Internet arrived at the conclusion that Joyner Lucas was a likely candidate, assumptions to which he responded bluntly.

“Man why tf everyone in comments saying it’s me? Lol smh Jesus Christ,” Joyner Lucas commented under DJ Akademiks’ post covering DaBaby’s confession. While he’s beefed with Logic in the past (something they patched up), it’s not like he’s been involved in a lot of feuds before, and neither has the “BOP” MC. As such, maybe this is what led fans to this conclusion, or they just wanted an excuse to shade the Not Now, I’m Busy creative or clown him as a clout-chaser. It’s a pretty sad conclusion to reach and a poor excuse to dog on either artist, but at the very least, it’s funny to think about the potential match-ups.

Joyner Lucas Denies Wanting Fake Smoke With DaBaby

For those unaware, DaBaby’s comments on a fake rap beef that many think Joyner Lucas was the one to offer him resulted from a conversation on all the feuding going on right now concerning the current big players in mainstream rap right now. “Two days after [the J. Cole apology] took place, I got a call,” he told Shaq. “I won’t say from who. I got a call from a certain rapper. It’s like a lyricist, I’m sure y’all know him if I said his name. 1,000 percent y’all know him. He shot me a text, he was like, ‘Hit me, you gon’ like this.’ I called him and was like, ‘What up?’… He like, ‘You wanna go up? How you feeling?’ I’m like, ‘What’s up? Talk to me.’

“He said, ‘All the back and forth between J. Cole and Kendrick got me fired up!’” he continued. “‘Bruh, I feel like we should diss each other. We cool behind closed doors, [but] we should diss each other. I feel like it would just go crazy.’ I know for a fact what that would do. But at the same time, it’s a little more personal with me. I’m not about to say certain things about you if I don’t really feel a certain way about you. I told him, ‘And that’s out of respect for you.’ ‘Cause it can go either which way with me.” For more news on DaBaby and Joyner Lucas, who crossed over with the latter’s “Suge” remix, stay up to date on HNHH.

Jeezy Denies Jeannie Mai’s Allegations That He Physically Assaulted Her

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jeezy has reportedly responded to domestic violence and child neglect accusations against him from Jeannie Mai, his former partner who he currently faces in court due to their ongoing divorce process. Moreover, according to court documents, Mai pointed to three alleged incidents in particular in which he physically assaulted her and claimed that he drinks too much alcohol and has explosive outbursts, among other concerns. As for the alleged child neglect, she also claimed that she supposedly found an AK-47 rifle in a Louis Vuitton bag that she found with their then-one-year-old child. Now, according to The Jasmine Brand, the rapper has vehemently denied these accusations.

Furthermore, Jeannie Mai had provided pictures of the alleged injuries that she supposedly sustained as a result of Jeezy’s as-of-yet unsubstantiated abusive actions. One of the specific incidents referred to was him allegedly pushing her down a flight of stairs, but he reportedly responded to the court that this specific event never happened and is a complete fabrication. According to court documents, the Atlanta MC is claiming that the injuries that Mai provided alleged photos of in the lawsuit are actually from a golf course incident. Not only that, but he apparently provided photographic and text message evidence of the timeline of the accident, as well as providing an alleged picture of his own injuries as a result of the accident.

As for what these alleged texts and photos mean for Jeezy, it aims to counter Jeannie Mai’s claim that his alleged abuse of her reportedly occurred in April, referring to the specific and alleged stairs incident. These new supposed texts and pictures are from June, which would mean the injuries happened months afterwards if this is actually to be believed. Overall, the only confirmed thing about all of this is that it made the divorce between them all the nastier. There are a lot of unconfirmed and speculative allegations flying around, including how they’ve allegedly limited each other’s time with their child.

Meanwhile, both parties, especially the trap pioneer, have done their part to request privacy amid this contentious back-and-forth. With these new allegations in mind, we can only expect things to get muddier and more combative in the near future. But hopefully we are wrong on that. For more news and the latest updates on Jeezy and Jeannie Mai, stay posted on HNHH.

Ray J Admits His Sister Brandy Had This To Say About His Face Tattoos

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J has opened up a little bit more about the response to his bizarre new face tattoos, which have inspired some conversation online for their eccentric nature. Two of them are at least understandable: the names of his children Melody and Epik, but the one of his new TV network Tronix is the one that’s really raising eyebrows. Still, it seems like the singer and actor doesn’t really mind the backlash… unless it’s coming from a place where he knows it’s all love and genuine care. Moreover, he recently revealed during an Instagram livestream on Wednesday (April 24) that his sister, fellow celebrity Brandy, reached out to him after he posted a video showing the tats off with some worried thoughts.

“My sister hit me and said, ‘Yo, that post that you posted, take that s**t down,’” Ray J admitted. “She said I didn’t look clean, I looked dirty. My mouth was chapped, I got white s**t coming all out my mouth. My sister is mad at me because she doesn’t want my face tattoos. She doesn’t want me to come online irresponsibly. And that’s why I love her.”

Ray J Shows Off Face Tats In Video That Brandy Wanted Him To Take Down: Watch

Furthermore, the video already ran its course by the time that he took it down, but it’s unclear whether he was more critical of his appearance in the recording or if he’s regretting the tattoos themselves. Either way, it seems like Ray J is doing this for very different reasons than what people might assume or expect with a headline like this. “A lot of people think I’m going through some kind of crisis,” he expressed. “I appreciate y’all support for praying, but it ain’t like that. I’m never going to audition for s**t ever again. Why would I audition for a movie when I could just shoot my movie and put it up and make money?

Meanwhile, some people think that these are fake in the first place. We’ll see what Sukihana’s rumored new boo has to say about all this moving forward. Hopefully there are more people like his sister in his corner that are trying to balance out his antics. For more news and the latest updates on Ray J and Brandy, stick around on HNHH.

Saweetie Targets Quavo, But Not Chris Brown: Fans React To Her Responses To Disses

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Saweetie is causing some significant fan debate right now around her role in the beef between Chris Brown and Quavo. For those unaware, the most recent development between those artists was the latter’s “Over H*es & B***hes” diss against the former, which got mixed reactions from fans and outright dismissal from Brown himself. However, the Los Angeles femcee heated things up in a different way by posting a screenshot of an unopened DM that the former Migo sent her. What fans found contentious and scandalous, particularly for Huncho Jack, is that she is only targeting her former partner here and not the person that dragged her into this mess in the first place.

As such, a lot of folks think that what Chris Brown said about Saweetie cheating on Quavo with him could be true, although this is obviously just gossip still. There’s also her upcoming single to consider, something that she teased rewriting the bars for to perhaps address some of this. Regardless, fans still debated whether this timeline was warranted, whether the Georgia rapper deserves some primary criticism from the Icy Girl, and what her lack of response to Breezy says about the dynamic. Some are analyzing it from the rap beef perspective, and others are simply here for the relationship and cheating drama.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Either way, this is definitely contributing to a lot of wild discussion and theorizing. One ironic part about all this is that Quavo and Chris Brown aren’t making back-and-forth claims about a single lady. Saweetie is very much in a relationship with YG at the moment, or at least, that’s what they’ve indicated in live performances and on social media following break-up rumors. As such, many wonder if he’ll have anything to say about all of this, or if he’s standing by his woman 100%.

More Fan Reactions

How does Saweetie have all the smoke for Quavo, but zero for Chris Brown telling the world he fucked her. Both of them are disrespectful as hell. I don’t get it.

— K E N N E D Y (@kennedydarlingg) April 23, 2024

That whole situation with Quavo, Saweetie & Chris Brown is all messy & should’ve just been handled in private atp cause it’s too much back & forth.

Saweetie could do something hilarious and drop a Quavo diss track with Chris Brown on the hook.

— Trey! (@treyals) April 23, 2024

Meanwhile, many folks wonder what this beef could bring next, especially since the R&B star seems uninterested in a response. Nevertheless, who do you think is “winning” right now and is the “Richtivities” artist right in taking these approaches? In any case, give us your takes down in the comments section below.

Ja Rule Continues To Reflect On 50 Cent & G-Unit Beef Amid Drake & Kendrick Lamar Feud

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you’re a rapper and you haven’t talked about the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef yet, you’re either missing out on some clicks or avoiding feeding into feud narratives that only benefit the powers that be. However, some expert voices feel like they almost have to weigh in, and one veteran in rap spats recently reflected on his biggest battle. Moreover, Ja Rule recently responded to a fan on Twitter who was referencing his rivalry with 50 Cent and the rest of G-Unit. This came up as a result of discussion around K.Dot and The Boy’s current head-to-head, and the Murder Inc. affiliate reminisced on how things were just different back then.

“They said @50cent had ja rule seeing 20,” one fan responded to Ja Rule’s expression that he can relate to Drake being in a “20v1.” “[G-Unit] literally had an ORDER OF PROTECTION against murder Inc… can you imagine if one of the camps in this beef right now put an order of protection on the other… [laughing face emojis].” Still, the New York MC also had some more nuanced and communal perspectives to share on the beef. “Hip hop is a family… and no one wins when the family feuds!!! Don’t let that go over your head… #hiphopvseverybody,” he had ironically tweeted a day before speaking on his nemesis 50 Cent.

Ja Rule Thinks His 50 Cent Feud Looked Way Different From Drake & Kendrick Lamar’s Current Spat

As for that historical spat, here’s how Steve Stoute broke down how the 50 Cent and Ja Rule war began. “I think 50 knew that Ja was not who he was portraying as an image,” he remarked on Club Shay Shay. “Ja [was a] Jehovah’s Witness… I’m not saying they not supposed to rap, but Ja was coming up with this gangster image. It was like, ‘That’s a stretch for you,’ they had some very neighborhood beef. I remember when we signed 50 there was something going on. I think he snatched Ja’s chain, or somebody snatched somebody’s… And then they had a fight in Atlanta… And it was just like, I never understood it.”

Meanwhile, Ja thinks that this is a one-sided feud, and that he actually beat 50 in a fight during all this back-and-forth. How do you think their battle compares to Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s? Whatever the case, let us know what you interpret down in the comments section below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest updates and more news on Ja Rule and 50 Cent.

Metro Boomin Denies Pusha T’s Involvement In Drake Beef

April 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s “Like That” remix has really given a whole new set of possibilities in the Drake beef (which, at this point, is actually unfair to call a civil war when it’s more like a coup d’état). A lot of folks thought that Metro Boomin and Future would then call on even more people to join the battle, but if this specific example is anything to go off of, it seems like this was more Ye’s initiative than it was an agreement to any proposal from the duo. That’s because the St. Louis producer shut down rumors that Pusha T would be added into the mix with another rendition of “Like That.”

Moreover, folks allegedly saw a tweet in Metro Boomin’s likes that had an interesting proposition (we say “allegedly” because it’s not available anymore at press time). “I hope its pusha, not for the beef but i just need some new bars from him,” a user replied to someone previewing that who’s next on the remix will be something wild. When pages began to cover this and interpret it as a tease towards Pusha T verse on “Like That,” Metro replied to one in particular with a simple message: “fake news.” It’s unclear whether the false claim in question here is the Twitter like, the proposition, or both.

Metro Boomin Denies Rumors Of A Pusha T “Like That” Remix

Pusha T Drake Beef Diss Like That Remix Metro Boomin Response Hip Hop News — Screenshot via @MetroBoomin & @nfr_podcast, tweet link here

Either way, there are a couple of different reasons as to why Pusha T probably won’t be dissing Drake anytime soon. For one, time and time again, he’s made it clear via interviews, social media posts, and other communication methods that he’s not interested in returning to that ring. The Boy didn’t even respond to “The Story Of Adidon”; why should the Clipse MC bother? While he hasn’t been above teasing his former opponent about his loss, or joking about his unscathed emergence from that whole debacle, he probably doesn’t see this as an important battle unless, for some reason, Drizzy specifically seeks that smoke out six years later.

Meanwhile, as for the idea of a “Like That” remix itself, we know that the “Runaway” duo isn’t as tight as they used to be. As such, we doubt that Ye would be the one to bring his former G.O.O.D. Music affiliate into the fold. But rap fans can dream… Is it something you’d be excited about? Drop your takes in the comments section below and stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Metro Boomin, Pusha T, and Drake.

GloRilla Taunts Damian Lillard’s Ex-Wife Kay’La With Jersey After Alleged DUI Shade

April 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, it was reported that GloRilla was arrested in Atlanta for alleged DUI, expectedly garnering reactions from countless social media users and peers. One of the first to respond was Damian Lillard’s estranged wife Kay’La, and commenters thought she was throwing shade. “Free GloLillard [laughing emoji],” she captioned a photo of the femcee’s mugshot, which she shared to her Instagram story. “#Sisterwife.”

Her post came only a couple of months after GloRilla showed interest in Damian on Twitter/X, sharing a photo of the two of them at the 2024 All-Star Game in Indianapolis. “Who n***a dis? Cause I want him #GetEmGlo,” she wondered at the time. She later went on to Tweet, “Whoever she is can’t whoop me so I really dgaf.”

GloRilla Rocks “GloLillard” Jersey

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

When asked about GloRilla shooting her shot last month, Damian simply said, “No comment, my brother.” It looks like GloRilla isn’t dodging any smoke, however, recently poking fun at the debacle with a new jersey. The bright yellow jersey in question says “GloLillard” on the back, a nod to Kay’La’s seemingly shady post. Kay’La has yet to address Glo’s apparent response to her comments.

Damian and Kay’La officially parted ways in October of last year, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their divorce. According to court docs, Kay’La moved out of Damian’s $7.7M Portland home in December of 2022 while he stayed behind. They share three young children together. As for GloRilla’s alleged DUI arrest, bodycam footage of the incident surfaced online last week, showing the “Blessed” performer taking part in various field sobriety tests. What do you think of Kay’La Lillard seemingly throwing shade at GloRilla after the rapper’s arrest for alleged DUI? What about her firing back with a “GloLillard” jersey? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jill Scott Praises Chris Brown, Responds To Fans Pointing Out His Abusive History

April 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Much of Chris Brown’s allegedly abusive history against women is just that: accusations. However, given that he pled guilty to assaulting Rihanna 15 years ago and the testimonies from his former partners and the media, he has always dealt with folks writing him off due to this past. Granted, the Virginia native has always been quite aggressive in responding to these narratives, and it’s overall a very complicated web. Moreover, a lot of this is popping back up in the trending topics because of a recent tweet from multi-hyphenate Jill Scott praising Breezy. She responded to many folks online on Sunday (April 21) who offered their criticisms, support, or other comments about the matter.

“@chrisbrown is amazing,” Jill Scott wrote of Chris Brown on the social media platform. “How does ANYBODY sing like THAT? Dance, look, Act and Rap… like THAT? Beyond gifted. It appears, exceptional people have to go through exceptional [fire emoji]. There’s nothing to debate.” “I think the women he’s abused would disagree,” one user posited. “I doubt it,” Scott replied. “My Mother’s ex husband was a mean, violent human AND he could lay foundation better than anyone in my city. What he did with cement was awe inspiring. We got away. He got a raise and praise for his ability. God dealt with the rest.”

Jill Scott’s Praise Of Chris Brown

“I love you Jill but he has so many domestic abuses cases it’s ridiculous we can’t look past that,” another fan replied. “I love you too,” Jill Scott responded. “I’m not here to fight anymore else’s battles. If/since women hear the stories, they should avoid that street. Running backwards in moving traffic makes zero sense. Therapy for every damn body.” “Yes he is, but that diss track [against Quavo] was too personal. He went too low,” one fan brought up, changing the topic real quick. “I agree,” she wrote in response.
