Gunplay Sends Cease & Desist To DJ Envy, Internet Trolls Roast Him

Now that his inaugural car show is done and dusted, DJ Envy appears ready to move on to bigger things. Unfortunately, the massive bout of drama that came along with with his charitable function is refusing to let go. Specifically, MMG artist Gunplay continues to lash out at The Breakfast Club host following their heated phone call earlier this week. At the time, the reality star recorded himself on the phone with Envy, at which time he expressed anger toward the media personality for talking about his daughter while also threatening to “slap the sh*t out of [him]” numerous times.

Gunplay later shared footage of the call on social media. It ultimately went viral, drawing more attention to the drama. It’s been pointed out online that Envy now has grounds to sue the 43-year-old. Instead, though, it’s the former who’s filed a cease and desist against the latter, claiming that the New Yorker’s comments about Gunplay and his family have been damaging to his mental health.

Gunplay Continues to Lash Out at DJ Envy

“I married a Ph.D. in criminology Karen ass Fed good luck I’mma let her take it from here buddy!” he wrote in the caption of a since-deleted Instagram post displaying the official document. “It has come to my attention that you have been making statements about my client(s), Vonshae Taylor-Morales and Richard Morales (Gunplay), that are false and misleading. These statements were averred and disseminated by you and your associates on a national, if not international level through a public forum,” the document begins.

The cease and desist later demands that Envy discontinue making “false, slanderous, and defamatory statements” about Gunplay, or damages will accordingly be sought in court. On social media, many are clowning the Miami native for taking such extremes when he’s not exactly innocent either. Of course, there are also some still showing support for the L&HH star.

Kali Receives Backlash After Claiming She Was Unfamiliar With Ludacris’ “Area Codes”

In her recent Complex interview, 22-year-old rapper Kali revealed that she didn’t know Ludacris’ 2001 track, “Area Codes.” This took many social media users by surprise, as she’s recently landed herself a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for her song of the same name. She described coming up with the concept of “Area Codes” organically, claiming that Ludacris’ track had no influence on her song.

“I didn’t even know there was any connection,” she explained. Kali also went on to say, “Like, I never heard the Ludacris song before. So when people asked me that, I truly didn’t know what they were talking about. It was just super organic. When I hear people saying, ‘Oh, this is a Ludacris homage,’ I’m like, ‘Okay, but I really didn’t know anything about it.’ It was just like I literally felt like I got hoes in different area codes.”

After the interview came out, social media users were quick to share their opinons. “Honestly if that Kali girl didn’t realize she was basically quoting Ludacris on that area codes song, then someone else wrote that joint and just ain’t tell her,” one user claimed. “Lmaoooo,” another writes, “I love Kali but come on now, Ludacris’ ‘Area Codes’ was a hit. I refuse to believe that she never heard it in her life.”

Some fans came to the young rapper’s defense, however. One wrote, “Hoes In different area codes is a common phrase Bffr.” The fan also added, “y’all just be mad that new rappers don’t listen to ppl YALL consider to be rap legends. Why Tf would Kali be listening to any and every Georgia rapper? Some ppl just don’t listen to Ludacris that’s…a thing y’all.” Another said, “I HAVE NEVER heard Ludacris song ‘AREA CODES’ they tryna make it seem like Kali soooo wrong for not knowing that wack a*s sh*t. EVERYBODY don’t know every song df.”

Draymond Green Roasts The Boston Celtics After Game 7 Loss

After becoming just the fourth team in NBA to come back from a 0-3 deficit in the playoffs, the Boston Celtics couldn’t become the first team to win a playoff series overcoming that deficit. The Celtics were blown out at home by the Miami Heat, 103-84. Twitter was quick to roast the Celtics for their subpar performance.

However, one particular criticism that stood out came from Draymond Green. Despite his own second-round playoff exit, Green has become a pivotal voice from the sidelines. Furthermore, there was no way that Green was staying silent as the Celtics crashed out in one of the most humiliating ways possible.

Green Roasts The Celtics

“The Boston Celtics are who we thought they were… They did not look like they were ready for the moment… All of a sudden they looked like they couldn’t play basketball with their left hand again,” Green said on his podcast in the minutes after the Celtics lost on national TV. Jaylen Brown had a team-high 19 points in the Game 7 loss, while the team went 9-of-42 from three-point range. However, Green’s comments are also a common sentiment that has followed the Celtics like the plague throughout these playoffs.

Despite entering the postseason as the second seed, the Celtics have never played like a second seed. They needed six games to knock off the seven-seed Hawks. Furthermore, they needed to come back multiple times against the Sixers in the Conference Semifinals. While team stars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have had historic highs, the moments of true team cohesion have been few and far between. Meanwhile, head coach Joe Mazzulla likely saved his job by getting the Celtics from 0-3 to 3-4, but a number of big questions remain about the team. What do they need to do to actually become the team that can make the NBA Finals consistently? Furthermore, how do you feel about Green’s comments? Let us know in the comments below.

Khloe Kardashian Roasted For White Tongue

In a recent Instagram photo alongside her niece and nephew, Khloe Kardashian posed with her tongue out. Critics were quick to jump on the star, claiming that her tongue appeared “white,” and calling her oral hygiene into question. She snapped the photo while at the movies seeing The Little Mermaid with her sister Kim’s daughter North and her sister Kourtney’s son, Reign.

“Clean your tongue khloe.. it looks so dirty,” one commenter wrote, adding a sick emoji. “Khloe forgot to brush her tongue. mule take care,” another said. A different critic told her, “Your tongue should be pink not white coated.” One follower even mentioned it could indicate something more about her health. “I had a friend at school whose tongue always looked like this, so I looked it up back then. Literally a never-ending list of possibilities – many of them related to digestive tract,” they claimed.

Khloe Sees The Little Mermaid With Her Family

In a recent episode of The Kardashians, Khloe revealed feeling some guilt for electing to use a surrogate for her latest child. She claimed that when she arrived to the hospital for her son Tatum’s birth, she “definitely was in a state of shock.” She went on, revealing that she felt bad for taking Tatum from the surrogate. “I felt really guilty that this woman just had my baby and I take the baby and I go in another room and we are sort of separated,” revealed the mother. She described the process as feeling “transactional.”

Earlier this month, Khloe shot down rumors that she was reuniting with her ex, Tristan Thompson. The pair split following a cheating scandal that occurred shortly after Khloe discovered she had a baby on the way via surrogacy. The speculation started due to a heartfelt post Khloe shared on Instagram to celebrate Thompson’s birthday. “Most are stuck at believing the lies because it’s the narrative they want to fuel. Have fun…. Some things are just as simple as they seem. A family member supporting another family member,” Khloe wrote.

Kanye West Eviscerated For His Shoulder Pad Outfit

Overall, everyone knows at this point that Kanye West has a very peculiar taste when it comes to fashion. Although he is a designer, his outfits can be hard to enjoy. He is always wearing something unique, even if everyone else thinks it is dumb. For instance, he wore some shin pads the other day, which felt like an odd choice. However, he did it with confidence, and sometimes, that is all you really need. Either way, Kanye has no shame when it comes to his personal choices, and that extends to politics and music.

Recently, Kanye West and Bianca Censori were spotted again, this time on an ice cream date. If you have been following along, they are frequently out together. The couple seems to be quite happy, even despite recent comments made by Kim Kardashian. Once again, Kanye is under the microscope for his outfit on this date. As you can see in the tweet down below, Ye was wearing a black t-shirt and some black pants. All of this is normal. However, what is not normal are the shoulder pads he is wearing that make him look like a football player.

Kanye West With Some Questionable Taste

Overall, this is not a look that we have seen from Kanye West before. However, as one fan pointed out, this does look eerily close to his outfit from the infamous “I Love It” music video with Lil Pump. It is one of those fashion choices that really make you scratch your head. Perhaps a brand would be brave enough to try this out on the runway, but as an individual, it takes a lot of gumption to be seen like this in public. Although, we have certainly seen Kanye is worse states before.

Fans React

Subsequently, Kanye was heavily roasted for this new look. As you can see down below, some compared him to a character from Roblox. Meanwhile, there were some other comments that suggested how poor this outfit was. They are brutally honest comments, but that’s the internet for you. Let us know what you think of this fit, in the comments section below.

DJ Khaled Gets Roasted Over Viral Fake Twerking Video

A video of DJ Khaled has recently gone viral, featuring a fake clip of the artist twerking. The video features clips of the DJ running and jumping into a pool, followed by a clip of a similarly-shaped man twerking underwater. It’s currently unclear where the clip originates. The video has gotten the attention of several of his peers, including DJ Akademiks, Waka Flocka Flame, and more.

DJ Akademiks shared the gag to his Instagram page, and responses from fans and peers followed soon after. “WTF DID I JUST SEE. NAW MAN THE WORLD IS CHANGING. THIS ISNT WHAT WE DO … JUST ASK THE COMMUNITY,” wrote Wack 100. Rick Ross also chimed in, simply commenting, “Haaa.” Waka Flocka Flame shared his thoughts on the video, writing, “Unfollowing buddy right now,” followed by laughing emojis. Rapper Lil Tyler, who’s song is used in the video, commented, “Cuhhhh,” also followed by laughing emojis. A fan wrote, “Haha yo Khaled lowkey throwing back.”

Fake DJ Khaled Throws It Back In Viral Video

Another funny social media incident occurred earlier this month, when Future told DJ Khaled to go home after he shared a video claiming to be on his way to the rapper’s house. Future shared the video of the DJ on a jet ski, with the caption, “I’m not home turn around,” alongside some laughing emojis. Fans commented on the rapper’s response, with one writing, “Pulling up to a side mission like Dj Khaled.” Another user simply commented, “mind ya business.”

The DJ also went viral in February of this year, for a Tweet reading, “Drake is retiring, Migos broken, DJ Khaled is fat, Rap game is in shambles rn.” The Tweet was also accompanied by a meme from Peaky Blinders, featuring Cillian Murphy holding a gun to his head. When the Tweet went viral, one user wrote, “what did DJ Khaled do to u” alongside laughing emojis. Another shared the Tweet, adding, “wait.. DJ Khaled trending cos someone said he was fat? bruh, whole time he.. you know what.. nevermind.”

Lil Tecca Roasted Over Brandy & Monica Sample Use

Using a sample for your single is a risky move, as people will listen to that track and compare it to the original that it used as a reference. Even though many fans liked Lil Tecca’s latest single, “Need Me,” a lot of people blasted the sample used. Moreover, the Queens MC used a sample of Brandy and Monica’s iconic cut “The Boy Is Mine” for his single’s instrumental. Overall, the sample contributes to a pretty woozy and low-key cut with minimal drum patterns that are mostly carried by Tecca’s vocal delivery. Unfortunately for him, fans are tired of sample songs being so prevalent and “mid” in today’s hip-hop landscape.

Of course, sampling is nothing new in the genre, as much as people like to complain about their prolificacy. In fact, sampling is considered a foundation of hip-hop by most leading figures, fans, and other community members. However, there have been a lot of hit rap songs that use sampling as a way to boost their track’s profile or entice more listeners into tuning in. With all that being said, maybe fans didn’t need to harp on this song; it’s just be a “mid” track in your opinion at the end of the day, not a sign of disrespect to the sample.

Lil Tecca’s Brandy & Monica Sample Flip On “Need Me”

Regardless, the “Blessing” artist caught some criticism online for “Need Me” and particularly its sample flip. “They need to leave that sample Alone,” one impassioned fan wrote on Twitter. “Rodney Jerkins did something special with those sounds. With the violins and s**t no one has done it Justice since.” Others asked rappers to leave Brandy and Monica alone and brought up that people are reusing samples too much. “Didn’t Chinese Kitty just do this?? These samples getting out of hand,” another user tweeted.

At the end of the day, you’re entitled to whatever you think of “Need Me” and sampling these days. Still, it seems slightly odd to only dog on a song for its sample use. Other elements of the track might make you feel lukewarm on it, too. After all, a sample is only as good as its flip, and it needs a good song to justify it. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Tecca, come back to HNHH.

Jack Harlow Roasted Online For Shirtless Album Cover

Jack Harlow is one of those artists that is either loved or hated. For the most part, Harlow gets a lot of love. Although, his latest album left some people feeling as though he didn’t put his best foot forward. Overall, Harlow has a ton of talent, and he has gone through some interesting transformations. If you listened to him before he blew up, you would know that his sound was quite different. Some want him to go back to that sound, while his new fans prefer what he is doing now. No matter what, he remains a chart-topping artist.

Consequently, fans have been wanting some new music. Interestingly enough, Jack Harlow came out of nowhere today and revealed that he had a new album coming out called Jackman. He hasn’t released a lead single, so this revelation came as a surprise. However, in just two days, we will have some new music from Jack Harlow, which is a cause for celebration. As for the album cover, Harlow could be seen in an alley somewhere with trash cans in the back. Additionally, he is shirtless on the cover.

Jack Harlow Reveals His Album Cover

As you can imagine, the shirtless picture that is his album cover has become quite controversial. Already, there have been a ton of reactions to it on social media. One user wrote, “man just used a random shirtless picture as an album cover? I’m streaming anyways.” However, not everyone is being as nice about it. “The trash behind being a preview of what the album will sound like,” another person said. Meanwhile, another fan questioned, “worst album cover of all time?”

Needless to say, a lot of the reactions so far have been very harsh. However, this is par for the course when it comes to Twitter. Most people aren’t very nice when it comes to the Internet. That said, it will be interesting to see what this album will sound like. Let us know what your expectations are for this Jack Harlow project, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Pop Smoke Mural Gets Roasted Online

Years after his untimely death, Pop Smoke’s legacy continues to loom large over the hip-hop world. However, not every attempt to immortalize and celebrate his memory has gone over particularly well. On one hand, some people disrespectfully vandalized The Woo’s mural last December to many’s outrage. Still, a new mural has people feeling heated for other, albeit much less overtly disrespectful reasons. On Monday (April 17), an unknown mural made rounds on social media, for which people don’t know the location, artist, or if it was even meant to resemble Pop. However, the details certainly match up, even if many fans think it looks nothing like the rapper.

Of course, Twitter had a field day reacting to this news, either making jokes about it or expressing straight up disgust. Still, since it’s unclear where this mural is, it’s not like people can go out and ask around its location to see who could explain some more. Despite the confusion, it looks to be inside a store, so take that hint and run with it if you’re in the New York area. Also, this news comes shortly after a suspect in his murder pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and received a sentence of four years and two months in juvenile detention.

Pop Smoke Mural Gets Blasted Online

Even though this mural isn’t the best look for Pop Smoke’s legacy, given that his fans seem to hate it, the New York legend lives on in many other ways. One of those is his strong connections to other heavy-hitters in the industry who tell stories of what a pleasure he was to work with. “I f***ed with Pop Smoke and the whole Drill sound,” Polo G said on the Full Send podcast. “You know, coming from Chicago, that’s where that s**t started at. So, I really tapped into they s**t. I hit up Pop like, ‘Yo, let’s do this.’ He had been hitting me up in the past, but before I knew who he was. And then, when I seen they wave going strong, I hit him like, ‘Yo, I f**k with y’all s**t. Let’s do something.’” Polo was asked if he worked with Pop in the studio.

“The craziest thing, I worked with him right before he passed,” he continued. “I was in the studio with him. He said he was leaving to L.A. I stayed in New York an extra day to make sure Fivio [Foreign] laid his verse [for ‘Clueless’]. And Pop, a contact was telling me Pop wanted to get in the stu in L.A. the night he passed. ‘Cause I live there, he live there. We was supposed to get up.” Furthermore, he shared that Pop Smoke asked Polo for the name of a popular Chicago spot to shout out in his verse, and he did exactly that. Check out reactions to the controversial Pop Smoke mural below and return to HNHH for more on the late legend’s legacy.

Wiz Khalifa Shows Off Painted Toenails After Being Roasted

Wiz Khalifa has been clowned on a lot lately for his feet. Back in mid-March, the rapper posted a series of pictures on his Twitter. The photos depicted Wiz in his home studio getting a massage, smoking, and generally looking relaxed. Little did he know that he was about to start a social media firestorm over his feet. The comments on the tweet ranged from hilarity to disgust. Wiz wasn’t really bothered by the response, though. In fact, the rapper responded with a poem about the situation.

In a video posted to his social media, Wiz said, “I wrote a little poem, it’s called, ‘Stop Making Jokes About My Feet.’” The rapper then went on to recite an entire poem about the hate he experienced for his feet. “Stop making jokes about my feet, because that shit ain’t funny. Y’all keep making jokes about my feet, but bitch I got money,” he recited. “You ain’t gonna say it to my face, but you’ll talk about me when I’m gone. Your toes probably look like that, too, but you got nail polish on.” If nothing else, Wiz proved once again that he’s got bars.

Wiz Is Taking Every Chance To Troll

Ever the joker, Wiz has continued to troll his haters. Today, he posted a video on TikTok showing off his newly-painted toenails. The short clip simply features Wiz taking a video of himself in his underwear, taking great care to focus on his baby blue toenails. He didn’t recite a poem this time. Instead, he let the video speak for itself. The rapper definitely has a sense of humor.

Comments on the video seemed good-natured, with most either admiring the paint job or the fact that he was in his underwear. “I didn’t even notice the toes on the first watch,” said one very thirsty user. “No more ppl talking ish about his feet. He got himself a pedi. #wiz for the win,” said another. Looks like Wiz has won this round. However, it’s probably only a matter of time before the trolls find something new to comment on. What do you think of Wiz’s new TikTok? Let us know in the comments.
