Fans aren’t the only ones who have complained about Drake and Sexyy’s friendship. Joe Budden recently accused Drake of taking advantage of her fame as well. “You think he just likes being around Sexyy Red that much? I could name some more people. And this is what I don’t understand about you f*cking Drake stans,” he said on his podcast. Sexyy responded to that criticism on Twitter by sharing a video of herself dancing on Drake with the caption: “Tell @JoeBudden dis what drake like.” Check out her and Drake’s latest interaction on social media below.

GloRilla Ecstatic About LeBron’s Co-sign Of “Yeah Glo!” & Jokes About How He Only Knows Her Song’s Lyrics

by

GloRilla continues to thrive in 2024 for a number of reasons. The Memphis rapper started off the year with a bang due to her single “Yeah Glo!” Its messages of self-affirmation are something that everyone can get down with. It has also proven to be quite the workout track. LeBron James was bumping it loud and proud during one of his famous and rigorous training sessions. The King is known for supporting rappers across the genre, regardless of how bad he is at remembering lyrics. Glo eventually caught wind of the Lakers superstar messing with the song and they would wind up meeting in person. LeBron and his support for GloRilla and “Yeah Glo!” was a topic brought up in conversation with Shannon Sharpe.

She was the most recent guest on his hit podcast Club Shay Shay and a clip from it is gaining some attention. GloRilla is also hip to the fact that James has a foggy memory when it comes lyrics, and she made quite a funny joke about it. “LeBron knew the words. I watch LeBron rap songs and not know the words for real. He knew ‘Yeah Glo!’”

Fivio Foreign Recalls Mistaking Nicki Minaj Song For A Shoutout

by

Fivio Foreign recently discussed his viral video from last year in which he mistakenly thought the hook of Nicki Minaj’s song, “Everybody,” was a shoutout to him. He reflected on the mishap during an interview with The Breakfast Club on Thursday. Fivio and Minaj previously collaborated on the track, “We Go Up,” in 2022.

“It sound like she said ‘Fivi’ right?” he laughed, referencing a point in the song where Minaj says “body.”. “Nah, somebody told me that. [They were like], ‘Look, she says Fivi!’ But you know what it is? I ain’t really listen to the whole song. I was just hearing that part. They was like, ‘The sample is going viral on TikTok.’ I’m like, oh sh*t. [But then] I listened to the song and I saw the title and I’m like, ‘Oh sh*t. Aight.’ But I knew it before I posted it, but I was like, I’m still gonna post it.”

She revealed at the time that she intended it to be for Call of Duty. “This is mad funny b/c that was the song I wrote in 5 mins one day for ‘Call Of Duty,’” she said. “Once I kept it for my album, I still didn’t even rlly know if it made sense on PF2. I didn’t wanna send it to Uzi b/c I thought he’d be over it. Instead he was like this hard af! Uzicito.”

It goes without saying that Travis Scott has kept himself busy in recent months. He’s currently gearing up to perform at the Grammys, appear in a new Harmony Korine film Aggro Dr1ft, and more. After unveiling his eagerly-anticipated fourth studio album UTOPIA in July, the hitmaker also announced his supporting Circus Maximus tour, which has seen him make various sold-out stops in cities around the U.S. and Canada.

Despite his undoubtedly hectic schedule, the Houston native still makes time to show love to his fans.

Young Concertgoer Beams As Travis Scott Points Her Out

As if she wasn’t already having the time of her life, Travis pointed her out in the crowd, much to her excitement. “Now I just want y’all to know something, man,” he began. “At seven years old she told her parents, ‘Ain’t no way y’all are not bringing me to the Trav show.’” He then raised his hands in the air with a big smile before rolling right into “FE!N.” Clearly, the sweet moment made the young fan’s night, and social media users can’t blame her.

Of course, there are also plenty of users complaining that a parent brought their child to a concert. Fortunately, she appeared to be surrounded by family, and looks to have had a blast.

Doja Cat & Nicki Minaj Beef Rumours Appear False As Former Shouts Out Queen Of Rap: Video

by

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 includes some of her most introspective work to date, but that doesn’t mean the album rollout took place without any drama. In fact, after the new project landed on streamers this past weekend, the Trinidadian revealed to her Barbz that it was supposed to include a feature from another femcee who she previously made a record-breaking hit with. However, the unnamed collaborator allegedly refused because she was under the impression Minaj doesn’t like her – something the mother of one could only laugh at. While she didn’t drop names, many quickly assumed she was speaking about Doja Cat, who recruited Nicki to join her on the “Say So (Remix).”

“They said that it was a lot of different things, but you know, I didn’t realize, they said that they don’t think I like them,” Papa Bear’s mom recalled her conversation with the other performer’s team. “She passed on it,” Minaj additionally revealed in the comment section.” The internet has been eagerly waiting for a response from Doja, who surprised us by keeping things positive and even shouting out the “Did It On ‘Em” hitmaker during her recent show.

Doja Cat Has Big Love for Nicki Minaj

While performing her Planet Her hit, “Get Into It (Yuh),” the California-born creative said, “Thank you, Nicki! I love you… That’s right!” seemingly squashing any rumours of beef between them. As some are pointing out, this is actually part of the original outro of the song on her LP, so it’s not a huge surprise for her to include. At the same time, others are suggesting that Minaj was talking about someone else entirely.

As Doja Cat continues on her Scarlet Tour with special guests Doechii and Ice Spice, the Queen of Rap is tapping new friends to join her on the Pink Friday 2 tracklist. After sharing her highly anticipated LP this past weekend, she returned with a new 50 Cent collaboration that’s now officially streaming on DSPs. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Playboi Carti Wants Frank Ocean To Drop Snippet, Shouts Out Young Dabo On IG

by

Considering the type of music that each of them makes, Playboi Carti and Frank Ocean have far more in common than they probably should. They’re both guests on the song “RAF” with A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, and more, and they’re also two notoriously silent, mysterious, and very, very sought after artists with ardent fanbases. Now that the rollout for I AM MUSIC is underway, it seems like the Whole Lotta Red MC is challenging his closed-off counterpart to follow suit. Moreover, Carti recently shared an Instagram DM that he sent to the Odd Future singer that connects the arduous desire that both fanbases have for new music from them.

At 3:26AM local time, Playboi Carti wrote the following to Frank Ocean: “twin, Post a snippet or some if it’s up den it’s up ? Wat? U scared ?” It’s quite the comical exchange, especially considering that he did drop a snippet of his own around the same time that Carti was unveiling his rollout and posting more and more stuff. Do they want to keep competing for who can wait the longest without feeding their die-hards? Honestly, we don’t blame them; it’s kind of funny how the fanbases found kindred spirits in each other.

More importantly, though, Playboi Carti also shouted out other people for promoting this rollout. One of them– the most wholesome of these to see– was to YouTuber and Streamer Young Dabo, whose reaction videos to popular albums within the hip-hop realm and beyond have garnered him a lot of online love. In particular, the Atlanta native shared the social media star’s reaction to his newest song and music video, which is only available online as of writing this article. In a video posted to his IG Story, Dabo tearfully expressed his gratitude and happiness at finding out that one of his idols gave him a cosign.

Playboi Carti Shouts Out The Weeknd For Promoting His Rollout: “U Got Family”

by

Playboi Carti’s album rollout is fully underway, and that means he’s more online, grateful, and excited than ever. Moreover, he’s shared a lot of people shouting him out on social media, whether it be fellow artists, fans, industry folks, and the like. The latest to promote the “Pull Up” rapper’s new material is The Weeknd, who shared Carti’s new song and music video on his Instagram Story. Whatever I AM MUSIC ends up being (most likely an album), the culture is incredibly excited for it. He also shared reactions and promotions from Travis Scott, Ken Carson, NAV, and more, and even shared an unanswered DM to Frank Ocean about when he’s going to drop.

“You don’t need promotion when u got family 00X0,” Playboi Carti wrote when reposting Abel Tesfaye’s shout-out of this new song. Furthermore, this is a new snippet entirely, and is not the one that he shared just hours before that is a bit more aggressive. Rather, this track is a more woozy and dark offering from the Atlanta rage pioneer, with a delivery more akin to his more measured moments on Whole Lotta Red, which is most of what defined Die Lit. As such, we already have various things pointing us in the direction of various past aesthetics of his that he will probably develop even further.

Playboi Carti & The Weeknd Shout Each Other Out As “Family”

With this frenetic and unexpectedly consistent online activity in mind, we’re sure that Playboi Carti will have more for us as the wait for his next album draws on. So far, it’s proved to be a successful experiment, especially paired with other unbelievable musical miracles like a Frank Ocean snippet that came out around the same time. Is it possible that these two notoriously offline, mystique-shrouded, and tease-heavy artists coordinated to address their absence at the same time? It’s possible, but that also might just be the head-canon talking, even though that picture of their DMs surely made many people’s hearts skip a beat.

Regardless, what do you think of this new song and how fellow music superstars have promoted it? Are you looking forward to this new January release or was the wait too long for you to keep any hype? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Playboi Carti and The Weeknd.

Stephen Curry Reacts To Shoutout On Sexyy Red’s “SkeeYee”

by

Stephen Curry says he enjoyed hearing his shoutout on Sexyy Red’s Hood Hottest Princess single, “SkeeYee.” On the song, Sexyy raps: “My sister in the backseat with a .30/ N****s tryna shoot they shot, Stephen Curry.” The Golden State Warriors star discussed the track during an upcoming interview with VIBE.

“When Sexxy Red did it, I just started laughing,” he admitted to the outlet. “I don’t know. I had never seen her at a basketball game.” He continued: “One of my teammates were asking me the question, ‘How many times do you think your name’s been mentioned in the song?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure there’s probably a website or something that could probably count it for you.’ So he went and looked it up and it was like 106 I think at the time, which was wild to me.”

“Then I started thinking about all the ones that I could remember and it’s either a nickname, like Drake did with ‘Chef Curry with the Pot,’ or I think Future dropped one in the song ‘Mad Max.’ And it’s funny to see how they rhyme it because either they do a nickname, the short name, they use number 30 or they just go with the whole full name and just try to write something,” Curry added. “Future did the whole full name Stephen Curry, which is hilarious because he is trying to rhyme it and flow with it. I don’t know, unfortunately, ‘somebody’s shooting something or sharp shooting‘ or whatever the case is… I almost kind of expect it now. They’re going to reference me at some point.”

Sexyy Red References Steph Curry On “SkeeYee”

“SkeeYee” has been one of the biggest hits of Sexyy Red’s career. Back in September, it became the first song to ever top the Billboard TikTok Top 50 chart. Be on the lookout for further updates on Sexyy Red on HotNewHipHop.

by

Blueface is bringing his MILF Music signee- and mother of his child- Jaidyn Alexis to all the heights that he can. Of course, given all their antics and the scandals they created or were in, focusing on just the music is difficult. That being said, the California rapper recently thanked a fellow MC for showing Alexis some support, and putting people onto a banger without regarding the headlines. Moreover, Saucy Santana recently posted an Instagram Story that showed him turning up to her new song “Barbie” (which released on October 2) during his concert in the video clip. Via Twitter, the “BDD” MC shouted Santana out for making the track connect with a lot of new listeners and fans.

“Fastest growing artist I’ve ever seen,” Blueface began a series of tweets on Sunday (October 15) about Jaidyn Alexis and her brand new single. “I’m impressed my dam self 4 months 4 songs. [medal emoji] [star emoji] [record disk emoji]. My b***h doing better then yo b***h [crying-laughing emoji]. My b***h song playing in every club rn.

Last week, Blueface responded to claims that he wrote “Barbie” for Jaidyn Alexis on social media. “Come one, cuh. Y’all really think I wrote that?” he expressed. “I’m a whole [displaying gang sings] out here, cuh. You really think I wrote that? Dead homies? That’s disrespectful, cuh. So, y’all calling a n***a zesty, cuh That’s what y’all saying? Dead homies? School Yard Crip? That n***a that just [fakes pulling out gun, shooting gun, and punching]? The n***a that do all the issues? Y’all calling me zesty, cuh? So, if I wrote them lyrics, that mean I’m zesty?”

Meanwhile, we’ll see whether there are any other big singles to come from any of these artists before 2023 wraps up. It’s wild to look back on everything that these individuals were involved in drama-wise over the past twelve months. Come December, it might be an even wilder retrospective. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Blueface, Jaidyn Alexis, and Saucy Santana.
