Just yesterday, January 7,DDG and Halle Bailey could officially call themselves parents. The couple has had to deal with some road bumps, but that goes for all serious relationships. They have overcome a lot together to get to the point they did yesterday. After tons of speculation on whether or not Halle was pregnant, it turned about to be true.
She gave birth to a baby boy. His name is Halo and Bailey has already called him her biggest blessing. On her Instagram, she posted baby Halo’s hand in hers with the caption, “Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo the world is desperate to know you ” Plenty of celebrities have showered the couple with support, including Sexyy Red.
She did so by digging up an old tweet from DDG from April Fools’ Day (April 1) last year. The rapper shared a sonogram of his eventual son with the caption, “Can’t wait to be your dad.” Many people did not originally believe him due to the timing of it. Some supporters of Halle were even bashing DDG saying things like, “She’d never let a boy like you ruin her million dollar career.” The singer’s fan base has always been skeptical of the former YouTuber, but he is now a proud father. Sexyy Red had to give DDG his flowers for the clever nature of the announcement. She quote tweeted it, saying, “Dis was smart asf [crying laughing emoji].”
What are your initial thoughts on Sexyy Red’s tweet congratulating DDG and Halle Bailey on welcoming their child, Halo? Why do you think Red brought this tweet back up out of all of them? Do you believe DDG and Halle are destined to be with each other for a long time, why or why not? Why do you think fans of Halle are so skeptical of DDG?

Dee-1, known for his song “Taking a Chance on Me,” has voiced his concern over a viral video featuring a group of young girls dancing to Drake & Sexyy Red’s song “Rich Baby Daddy.” In a video shared on X/Twitter on Tuesday (January 2), the rapper reposts the controversial performance before addressing the public with his thoughts. Dee-1 wastes no time in expressing his disapproval, stating, “This ain’t cool, man, and this ain’t cute.” The video has garnered a mix of praise and criticism. It has sparked a larger conversation about the influence of music and the responsibility of both artists and fans. However, he’s addressing the problem of young children listening to and dancing to vulgar and sexually explicit music.
Moreover, Sexyy Redd’s verse on the track notoriously sings, “Bend that **s over, let that c**chie breathe. Shake that **s, b**ch, hands on your knees. Shake that **s for Drake (yup), now, shake that **s for me.” In his message, Dee-1 raises a crucial question: “What are we going to do about it?” He emphasizes the collective responsibility of artists, fans, and adults in shaping the cultural landscape. “It takes artists to make the music, it takes fans to support the music, and it takes adults to figure out what they’re going to expose their kids to. Right?” Calling on fans to take a stand, Dee-1 urges them to refrain from supporting and promoting such content.
Moreover, he calls on people to be more vocal. “Matter of fact, you really need to be vocal that you’re opposed to this if you really have a problem with it,” he asserts. Highlighting the power of collective voices in effecting change. Addressing fellow artists, Dee-1 emphasizes the need to resist manipulation and to be conscious of the impact their work may have on society. “As artists, we just gotta decide when we wanna stop being manipulated, man, and letting them use us as pawns,” he concludes. “I don’t understand. How MARKETING this makes you any better than the poor unfortunates who are also seeking attention at the expense of these children?” one person expressed on X. “There’s a lot of money in degeneracy and that’s the problem,” someone else said.
Furthermore, others were holding parents accountable. “No, the parents are responsible here because they allow it in their household,” another shared. The rapper’s message carries a strong call to action as he declares, “This is the year of the shift. Happy 2024. Fans AND Artists. Our time is NOW to take the power back. Time to take action.” Dee-1’s words resonate as a cry for a reevaluation of the content produced and consumed in the hip-hop community. He thinks society should bring in a new era of responsibility and accountability. What are your thoughts? Do you agree with Dee-1 on this subject matter? Let us know on HNHH!
We are only two full days into the new year and Chrisean Rock and Blueface continue to go at each other. Recently, we shared that the latter sent some disses toward Offset, Cardi B, Soulja Boy, and his former baby mama in a remix of “Barbie.” “Offset upset Cardi got the update / Soulja Boy mad he found out his b**** f****d late.” This could be a coincidence, but now Chrisean is clapping right back.
Sexyy Red’s “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)” continues to grow more and more popular. Ever since she previewed it online fans were dying to her the full version. They got to the on the deluxe of her mega-successful album Hood Hottest Princess. However, the hype train did not slow down. The St. Louis native released a remix with Chief Keef called “F My Baby Mama” a few days ago. Now, it seems that a Chrisean Rock remix is in the works and could be out very soon.
Chrisean has some choice words for Blueface. She raps, “I’ll show you how you turn your baby daddy to a side b**** / You cover up his tattoo, you block his number and then you pop s***.” She goes further, “F*** that child support / I ain’t going to court check my net worth / Baby daddy sick I’m throwing a** I know his chest hurt / Like, bow bow bow bow.” Hearing her on this type of song, she fits quite perfectly. There is a good chance this could become the most popular version of this hit.
What are your initial thoughts on Chrisean Rock’s verse on the upcoming remix of “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)” by Sexyy Red? Will this version be better than the original, the Chief Keef edition, or neither? After hearing her full verse does she fit the vibe of the track, why or why not? Do you think she is doing this to respond to Blueface’s latest verse on the “Barbie Remix?” We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Sexyy Red dropped off one more record before the clock hit midnight and ushered in 2024. The STL native grabs Chicago legend Chief Keef for the remix to “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad),” which is on the deluxe edition of Hood Hottest Princess. You can hear the single below.
Well, folks, we’ve finally made it: the final Fire Emoji playlist update of 2023 is a very short but very sweet one. As the year comes to a close this weekend, it’s a pretty slow week for new releases as folks celebrate and gear up for 2024. Still, there were four particularly great tracks to highlight this week that will surely help you end the year off with a bang. First up is Lil Uzi Vert’s “Red Moon,” which was once a YouTube exclusive for Christmas Day that eventually made its way to streaming services. It’s not as energetic or vibrant as we’re used to hearing from them these days, but it represents the Philly superstar’s other half: a moodier, more tender, emotive, and vulnerable melodic approach with some great drum-and-bass percussion.
Furthermore, another Fire Emoji highlight comes from none other than Sexyy Red, who is absolutely one of the year’s most dominant and important artists. Say what you will about the new Chief Keef-assisted remix of “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Daddy)” [or “F My Baby Mama” in this case], but you can’t deny the sheer impact that hits like this had in 2023. The Chicago legend comes through with a pretty charismatic performance, proving that he can still play with the younger crowd as one of its biggest influences. The song remains as good if not better than its original, and it will lead us into hopefully another great year for the St. Louis MC.
In addition, we had to shout out the title track on Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, and The Alchemist’s collaborative project, Hall & Nash 2. Whether it’s the sharp and boisterous lyricism or the vintage and engrossing production, any song on this tape would’ve fit like a glove on Fire Emoji. What sets “Hall & Nash” apart on the tracklist is its deliberately patient, menacing, and almost Western-like beat, sampling some rattling, a guitar twang, and ghostly keys. Ahead of a revamped version of the same record apparently coming in 2024, we can’t recommend this Griselda and Uncle Al team-up enough.
Finally, one of the greatest lyricists writing and rapping today had to drop one more gem for us this year before closing it out. Boldy James came through with production help from Your Boy Posca on the single “They Vouching,” which is as lyrically grimy as it is sonically soothing thanks to wondrous flute melodies and ambient, persistent synth pads. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week– and what else we missed, too. Check out the playlist above and come back to HNHH for every great rap release to come in 2024: we’ll have it on lock.
Sexyy Red is dropping off one more record before the clock strikes midnight and ushers in 2024. The STL native grabs Chicago legend Chief Keef for the remix to “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad),” which is on the deluxe edition of Hood Hottest Princess. You can hear the single below.
SZA has a couple of features on Drake’sFor All The Dogs, on “Slime You Out” and “Rich Baby Daddy” (the latter of which also features Sexyy Red). “Rich Baby Daddy,” though, has apparently caused some confusion, which SZA has now addressed.
In an Instagram Story shared yesterday (December 27), SZA explained the story behind recording her contribution to the song, saying, “Y’all lmao I was sick w a fever n couldnt breathe when I recorded this and told @champagnepapi no one would understand me n I sound crazy. He said noooo ur fine anyways here’s the lyrics to RBD once n for all.”
She then clarified the lyric, writing, “‘You been so good and you deserve to end your suffering, I need good dick n conversation can you comfort me. I got a feeling this is more than what we both say I got a feeling this is more than feelings. I can’t let you get away .. feels good but it can’t be love . Ain’t a damn thing that I’d do ! Ain’t a damn thing oooooo’ just in case lmao love y’all.”
@sza/Instagram
Meanwhile, SZA explained her musical origins in a recent interview, saying, “Some people choose music as a career, and they feel very certain about what they’re doing and why they’re doing it, but I was never quite certain, and I really only did music to prove a point. […] When I started making music, it was to my ex-fiancé because he was paying for everything. My food, my clothes, where I lived, and he was eight years my senior, so I was so co-dependent.”
With each passing day, Sexyy Red moves closer to becoming a mother of two, but that’s not stopping her from maintaining her post at the top of the rap game. The “SkeeYee” hitmaker graced the top half of many “Best Hip-Hop” lists from various publications throughout December, and after the success of her Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe) tape, we’re happy to hear she has more fire in her belly to share with the world.
One of the most popular titles to come from the updated album is “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad),” which had Cardi B feeling herself in the club this past weekend. Meanwhile, Chief Keef (who appears on the project’s next time, “Ghetto Princess”) was feeling the catchy anthem so much that he put his own spin on it. This led to a seriously salty response from his co-parent, who put the “Love Sosa” artist on blast by posting his alleged child support papers for the world to see.
Rather than let her collaborator get dogged, Red invited Keef to join her on an official remix of “Bow Bow Bow,” which is being teased online this week. “F**k my baby mama / F**k my baby mama / She a dusty a** b**ch left me broke all summer,” the rap diva mouths along in the clip above, hyping up the Chicago native’s explicit addition to her hit song.
2023 was the biggest year Sexyy Red has had in her career, but that doesn’t mean she’ll be slowing down in 2024. When she gives birth to her second child, the femcee will obviously take time off to recover and care for her newborn, but once she’s ready, we’re fully expecting the St. Louis native to continue her epic feature run. Check out our ranking of her best so far at the link below, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
After a new video of Cardi B surfaced of her twerking to Sexyy Red’s “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)” song, it seems the two might be working on something together.
“Yall kno wats next right?” Sexyy Red asked on Twitter, complete with a shushing emoji.
The responses from the internet are pretty torn, as Nicki Minaj fans disagree, and others want to hear what the remix will sound like. However, the video of Cardi B is getting just as much attention.
“Nah cardi b back outside talkin bout ‘F my baby daddy,’” one person captioned on a viral post.
— Shannonnn sharpes Burner (PARODY Account) (@shannonsharpeee) December 24, 2023
For those who might have missed it, she recently confirmed her split with Offset, as the couple have been off-and-on throughout the past few years. They also share two children: Wave and Kulture.
Days after the twerking video surfaced, Cardi B also still gave the kids an adorable Christmas, as each child had their own themed tree — one Hello Kitty and the other Baby Shark.
It goes without saying that 2023 has been a great year for Sexyy Red, both as a lead artist and with her features. Throughout the year, the rapper dominated airwaves and made multiple appearances on charts across the globe. In addition, she is also widely regarded as one of the biggest breakout stars of the year. Rolling Stone even crowned her hit song “SkeeYee” as the best rap song of 2023. Likewise, fans of her music will refer to 2023 for years to come, because her work rate was truly astounding. Besides releasing several singles and an album, Sexyy Red had a laudable amount of features in 2023. Ranked from worst to best, here they all are.
21. “Sexyy & Conceited” – Pardison Fontaine ft. Sexyy Red
This track was released as a part of Pardison Fontaine’s recent album SEXT8PE. Sexyy Red’s verse contains her signature confidence and braggadocio. Additionally, while she and Fontaine may not have phenomenal chemistry, they are not a bad pairing. However, this might just be arguably her most forgettable feature of 2023.
20. “Perc & Sex” – YN Jay ft. Sexyy Red & G Herbo
YN Jay originally released “Perc & Sex” as a track without features on his 2022 album Coochie Goat. Following its considerable success, he released a remix featuring Sexyy Red and G Herbo in August 2023. While the original song remains one of his biggest tracks right now, the remix has not been as successful. Sexyy Red tried to pull her weight on the track, but the song didn’t hit quite like it should.
19. “I Love Freaks (Sexyy’s Version)” – Lijay ft. Sexyy Red
In this song, Lijay and Sexyy Red let listeners know just how much they love freaks. This is very familiar territory for Sexyy Red. As a result, although Lijay is the lead artist, she all but eats him up on the track. “I Love Freaks” may not be among the most impressive features Sexyy Red has appeared on in 2023. However, that doesn’t make it any less of a bop.
18. “Big Dawg” – Moneybagg Yo ft. Sexyy Red
Running neither hot nor cold, “Big Dawg” is an okay song featuring okay verses from both rappers. While it’s not a bad song, it could certainly be a lot better than it is. Without a doubt, Moneybagg Yo and Sexyy Red can make a harder song, given the opportunity. Hopefully, they’ll collaborate again and create another fire track.
17. “Hoe Sh*t” – Genesisthegawd ft. Sexyy Red
Genesisthegawd enlisted the help of Sexyy Red on the remix of “Hoe Sh*t,” which was released on October 20, 2023. On the track, the two femcees trade bars on their respective verses. They rap about being on their “hoe sh*t,” and we kind of would like to be on ours as well. While it may not be among her absolute best features of 2023, Sexyy Red shines on this track.
16. “All She Do Is Shake” – J Traxx ft. Sexyy Red
Despite being arguably the least popular song on this list, “All She Do Is Shake” is a good song. It runs for less than two minutes, and features a very short verse from Sexyy Red. However, it manages to be memorable, regardless. Sexyy Red and J Traxx should definitely consider more collaborations in the future.
15. “Shiesty” – Finesse2Tymes ft. Kaliii & Sexyy Red
Another successful collaboration, all three rappers brought their A-game on “Shiesty.” Released on June 23, 2023, the song is a treat for fans of dirty rap. Despite not appearing on the charts, “Shiesty” is considerably popular. Subsequently, it would get much bigger as it has what it takes to be a huge club banger.
14. “Bent (Remix)” – 41, Kyle Richh, Jenn Carter, TaTa ft. Sexyy Red
Hip Hop trio 41 released their project 41 World: Not The Album on November 17, 2023. The 11-track body of work contains their hit song “Bent,” as well as the remix with Sexyy Red. Admittedly, Red has had much bigger features in 2023. However, her chemistry with the members of 41 on this track is undeniable. All four performers effortlessly glide through the song.
13. “No Panties” – Raedio ft. Sexyy Red
“No Panties” is a soundtrack from the second season of Max’s Rap Sh!t. It appears on RAP SHIT: The Mixtape (From the Max Original Series, S2), which was released on November 3, 2023. As usual, Sexyy Red was in her dirty rap bag on this track. Like she does on “Rich Baby Daddy,” she spits bars about letting her “coochie breathe.” We can’t complain because it goes so hard.
12. “Check” – Gloss Up ft. Sexyy Red
Shades of Gloss, an album by Gloss, was released on August 11, 2023. The project contains 13 tracks, and one of its standout songs is “Check.” On the track, Gloss Up brought the heat, and so did Sexyy Red. The verses are notable, and the hook is quite catchy as well.
11. “Peaches & Eggplants (Remix)” – Young Nudy ft. Latto & Sexyy Red
Young Nudy’s “Peaches & Eggplants” remix was released on September 8, 2023. As the title suggests, the song is quite explicit, making Sexyy Red a great fit. While it’s not as successful as the original, this remix is also pretty good. Overall, Sexyy Red and Latto both delivered, as expected.
This track was released on April 7, 2023, accompanied by a music video. While the original song charted on the Billboard Hot 100, this remix did not. However, it is a favorite for fans of Sexyy Red and is one of her most popular features in 2023. NLE Choppa and the fiery femcee are a delightable, dirty duo on the track, making for an epic club staple.
9. “Yonce Freestyle” – Kevin Gates ft. Sexyy Red & BG
Released as a non-album single, “Yonce Freestyle” is shaping up to become a sleeper hit. It features a memorable hook from Gates and notable verses from Red and BG. Evidently, the attention it has received is well-earned, and it may very well get more popular. All three rappers are in their element on the track, and that’s what makes it work so well.
8. “Daddy” – Tokischa ft. Sexyy Red
On this reggaeton track, Tokischa teams up with Sexyy Red to deliver a provocative and danceable rap number. The Dominican rapper sets the tone, bringing the heat with her verse. Likewise, Sexyy Red, exhibiting her versatility, eats the beat up as well. “Daddy” is a certified party starter and one of the more unique features Sexyy Red appeared on in 2023.
7. “BING BONG (Remix)” – BlakeIANA ft. Sexyy Red
Although her verse on the track is short, Sexyy Red completely ate it up. Both rappers effortlessly glided on the beat throughout the song. They did it so well that by the time the song ends, you can barely tell that much time has passed. Sexyy Red’s collaborations with other women in rap are always a good idea, and the remix of “BING BONG” is no different.
6. “Area Codes (314 Remix)” – Kaliii ft. Sexyy Red
Representing St. Louis, Missouri, Sexyy Red appears on the 314 remix of “Area Codes.” The track was released on May 11, 2023. It sees Sexyy Red serving up a red hot verse rivaling that of Kaliii’s. The entire song is just a little over two minutes and has a high replay value. As far as Sexyy’s best verses this year, this one’s right up there.
Released on July 7, 2023, DaBaby teams up with Sexyy Red on this remix. If we’re being honest, “Shake Sumn (Remix)” might as well be Sexyy Red’s song. DaBaby gives her so much space to shine, and she does just that. While his own contributions are minimal, somehow, it works pretty well for the track. Apparently, it’s one of the best features Sexyy Red was attached to in 2023.
4. “Face Down” – MCVERRT ft. Sexyy Red & FERG
It’s easy to like a song with an energetic beat like the one featured on “Face Down.” Besides the production, however, the rappers’ performances make the track what it is. Sexyy Red kept up with the two other artists, and they all demolished their verses. With raunchy lyrics that’ll make anyone clutch their pearls, the song was a surefire hit.
3. “One Margarita (Margarita Song) [Ladies Remix]” – That Chick Angel ft. Sexyy Red, FendiDa Rappa & Flo Milli
At this point, the whole world must have heard “One Margarita” already. The original version of the song was released on May 31. Subsequently, it went viral and has spawned several remixes. The “Ladies Remix” was released in August, and is just as much a bop as the original. Sexyy Red features in 2023 are indeed abundant, but there’s something so effortlessly natural about her contributions to the already viral track.
2. “MMM HMM” – Lancey Foux ft. Sexyy Red
Right off the bat, listeners can tell this is a hard song worth jamming to. Firstly, the beat goes wild. Secondly, Lancey Foux delivers exactly as expected. Likewise, Sexyy Red leaves nothing on the plate after her verse is done. It’s a wonder that the song did not appear on the charts, but it certainly deserved to. With a chorus worth replaying over and over again, “MMM HMM” still has enough time to weave itself back into listeners’ consciousness. Perhaps a viral moment on TikTok is just what it needs.
At the moment, this is the biggest song in Sexxy Red’s discography. It was only just released in October as a part of Drake’s eighth studio album, For All the Dogs. However, it has already surpassed every other song in Red’s catalog in terms of streams. It comes as no surprise, considering that it’s a Drake song featuring SZA. Nevertheless, “Rich Baby Daddy” is a great track despite the musical giants that appear on it. Sexxy Red delivers a hook that is quintessential to the song, securing it as one of her best features of all time, and the best in 2023.
the world is desperate to know you
