Safaree Thoroughly Enjoys Himself At Nicki Minaj’s Concert

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Safaree and Nicki Minaj spent a lot of time together. In fact, it was a 12-year relationship that saw a lots of ups and downs, especially toward the end. There were some moments of reconciliation and there were others that displayed utter nastiness. Sometimes it got straight up concerning, as it was reported by TMZ 2014 that Safaree was experiencing su*cidal thoughts following the breakup. The drama and turmoil didn’t stop there though for the rapper and TV star as his partnership with Erica Mena has seen its own fair share of issues. They aren’t together anymore, and they have constantly gone back and forth since splitting 2021.

Mena has been extremely critical, putting him on blast for not showing enough love and support for their kids. But despite all of these shortcomings and dilemmas, Safaree is trying his best to make up for it. In fact, he recently said that he’s living with a new purpose. “I want to start giving back more, and uh, I don’t why lately. [Maybe] this trip is just making me see things different [but] I have to do it. So if you’re somebody who know me, link me up if you want to help in any way.” However, –at least in this case– this has nothing to do with Mena.

Instead, Safaree is “giving back” to Nicki Minaj by popping out at her Miami stop for the Gag City Reloaded leg of her ongoing Pink Friday 2 tour. However, he didn’t just stand in the crowd, he was having an absolute ball. As you can see in the video from The Neighborhood Talk above, he’s dancing and just enjoying himself thoroughly. On top of this, Safaree tweeted out in response to the clip making the rounds online. “I’m proud no cap… a lot of yalll will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud.” This has led to some mixed reactions from the internet, with the Barbz especially showing no remorse for their queen’s ex. However, some were just simply happy to see him happy.

What are your thoughts on Safaree enjoying himself and showing support to Nicki Minaj? Do you think Erica Mena will have something to say about this? Is this a good or bad look for Minaj’s ex?

Latto Champions Cardi B But Shades Ice Spice During Funny Marco Show

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The animosity that Latto has for Ice Spice needs to be studied at this point. She has had a bone to pick with the New York drill artist for about a year now, but no one is really sure why. In fact, the “Think U The S*** (Fart)” rapper doesn’t even know why the self-proclaimed Queen of Da Souf has such disdain for her. “I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her ‘What’s the issue?’ it’d be like a blank stare. It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me”, Ice told Rolling Stone just this July.

She may not have an issue, but with the Y2K! creator sending shots right back, Latto is not going to let up herself. It’s why she’s throwing shade once again, this time during a collaboration with internet comedian, Funny Marco. According to AllHipHop, both were acting as talent scouts for “the next BIG THING” during Marco’s “Open Thoughts Auditions”. A young girl stepped onto the stage to show off her rap skills (pretty poorly we may add) and that’s when Latto thought of the “perfect” comparison.

Is It Obvious How Latto Views Cardi B In Comparison To Ice Spice?

“It gives me like… Ice Spice probably. It was like, ‘I’m so cute, grah’”, Latto said while doing her best Ice Spice impersonation. Hilariously, Marco was in agreement. However, her energy was much different in comparison when it came to Cardi B. In the second clip, another contestant repeatedly claims that the “Bodak Yellow” songwriter has been copying his dance moves and lingo. But with Latto having such good rapport with her femcee contemporary she was not having it with this guy. “I’m not endorsing no Cardi B diss. They can go”, she told Marco.

What are your thoughts on Latto’s support of Cardi B in comparison to Ice Spice? Do you think the hate toward the latter is getting out of control, why or why not? Should they just go ahead and settle the score once and for all? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

USHER Gives Big Sean His Blessing To Sample His Work In Wholesome Resurfaced Clip

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Did you expect Big Sean to be sampling an USHER song at any point? To be honest, we didn’t. But he did just that on his new album, Better Me Than You. It occurs on the album’s attempt at a catchy hit with “Who You Are (Superstar)”, which is track five. It’s not such an obvious sample, but when you play the songs back-to-back, you can hear it a little more clearly. That USHER track we are referring to is “Superstar” off of one of the singer’s most successful records to date, Confessions.

However, instead of just getting clearance through other means, Sean decided to go right to the source to get his blessing. The Neighborhood Watch reshared the clip of USHER and the Detroit MC vibing to the demo from the latter’s IG account that centers around his website. With there currently being a lot of bitterness between artists in the industry, it’s nice to see two respective stars giving each other love like this. USHER was all in for Sean’s sample flip, as you can see in the video below.

Big Sean & USHER Need To Link Up Now

Sean gave some extra context to the post, revealing that “Who You Are (Superstar)” had been in the works for a little bit. “This was like a year ago when the song was just the demo. I had to make sure it was appropriate to sample such a classic ”, he said. Hopefully with this now out there, maybe we could get a collaboration between them?

What are your thoughts on USHER giving Big Sean approval to sample his work for the latter’s Better Me Than You? Were you aware that Sean utilized a song from the R&B legend? Is it crazy to think that USHER is that far into his career where others are sampling his music? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Big Sean and USHER. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Drake Shows Tremendous Love For Lil Wayne With Young Money Throwback Repost

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There’s no doubt that two of the biggest hip-hop artists of this generation and Drake and Lil Wayne. They are powerful forces on their own, but when they come together, it’s always going to be an even more special moment. Unfortunately, at least on the outside looking in, both legends aren’t up to much as a duo. The last time we heard them on a record(s) was back in 2021 on a reissue of Nicki Minaj’s “Seeing Green” and then on Certified Lover Boy. However, with Drizzy fending off tons of outside noise from his contemporaries, it sort of makes sense why things haven’t been the same ol’ same ol’.

But with them developing a partnership/friendship since the late 2000s, true close buds will always find a way to support each other. That’s the case here, as Drake is doing so from afar, according to HipHopDX. A Lil Wayne fan account on social media who goes by liltunechi_classics reposted a clip from 2009 during the heat of the Young Money days. It’s a wholesome video, as Weezy is “introducing” two of his newest signees to an “excited crowd”. The Louisiana native mimicked an audience screaming while Drake was holding the mic.

After listing off his laundry list of nicknames, he then gave the mic to Nicki. All three of them had a hard time keeping a straight face, as Drake was making suggestive and childish noises during her self-introduction. The For All The Dogs creator came across the post and shared it on his IG Story while speaking highly of Lil Wayne. “We were so lucky to have the most supportive boss in the game always gassed us up”. You can be skeptical of where they stand with each other right now, but you cannot deny that they at least have incredible amounts of mutual respect for one another.

What are your thoughts on the love from Drake to Lil Wayne in this throwback repost? Do you think we will eventually see a reuniting of sorts down the line? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lil Wayne and Drake.
