Lil Wayne & Drake Put On Blast For Not Defending Nicki Minaj Amid Grammy Snub

November 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The 2025 Grammy Awards nominations arrived last week, and have since earned mixed reactions from social media users. While some are celebrating the impressive number of nominations for artists like Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar, others are calling attention to the lack of recognition for other favorites like Nicki Minaj. The “FTCU” rapper didn’t receive a single nomination despite the success of her album Pink Friday 2, which has the Barbz up in arms.

While this is nothing new for Nicki, countless supporters are coming to her defense online, and arguing that she deserved better. Some are even calling out her celebrity peers for not bringing more attention to the issue. After the nominations were announced, for example, Capella Grey took to X to seemingly call out Lil Wayne and Drake.

“Drake and Wayne cant act so clueless when it come to loyalty all the time. now i pree y shorty b so tight ngl. she risking her whole reputation on rants to defend em, & theyre response really be ‘lol im neutral chill’ when its on the [reverse]. Mayb NY’ers just move diff? .. yea idk,” the performer wrote. Unsurprisingly, Grey’s post has sparked a major debate. Several fans in his replies are accusing Nicki herself of being disloyal, and arguing that Lil Wayne and Drake have no obligation to defend her.

This prompted Grey to walk back his comments. “Ma fault. I aint know the disloyalty was so both ways,” he wrote in a follow-up tweet. “Lemme just stay outta ppl business on twitter.” What do you think of Capella Grey calling out Lil Wayne and Drake for not defending Nicki Minaj after she wasn’t nominated for a Grammy? What about him changing his stance later? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Beyonce Leaves People’s Choice Country Awards Empty-Handed Despite 17 Nominations

September 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Despite the tremendous success of her latest album Cowboy Carter, Beyonce has walked away from yet another country music awards ceremony empty-handed. The “Texas Hold ‘Em” performer was nominated for an impressive 17 People’s Choice Country Awards this year. Sadly, she lost in all categories, including People’s Artist, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Female Artist, and more.

Of course, Bey’s fanbase believes she’s been snubbed, as she was only recognized briefly thanks to Shaboozey. He won Best New Artist and gave her a quick shoutout at the end of his acceptance speech. “Thank you Beyonce, you’re amazing,” he concluded before making his exit.

Shaboozey Gives Beyonce A Shoutout At People’s Choice Country Awards

This isn’t the only time the hive has been outraged about their queen’s country album getting overlooked, however. She wasn’t nominated for a single Country Music Award either, which sparked a great deal of backlash. Dolly Parton even chimes in on the snub during her interview with Variety this month, providing her best guess as to why Beyonce wasn’t given the recognition her supporters believe she deserves.

“There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that,” she told the outlet before praising both Beyonce and her album Cowboy Carter. “I don’t think it was a matter of shutting out, like doing that on purpose. I think it was just more of what the country charts and the country artists were doing, that do that all the time, not just a specialty album.” What do you think of Beyonce leaving yet another country music awards show without an award? Are you surprised? Do you think she was snubbed or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Joe Budden Reacts To Lil Wayne’s Super Bowl Snub Response

September 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last weekend, Kendrick Lamar announced that he’ll be headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February of next year, sparking a major debate. While many are looking forward to the exciting performance, others think the opportunity should have gone to Lil Wayne. After all, the event is being held in his hometown of New Orleans, and he’s more than cemented his role as one of hip hop’s GOATs.

Amid the outrage, Lil Wayne took to Instagram to respond to the debacle. He admitted that he was incredibly hurt and was in the process of “trying to put [himself] back together.” Of course, this left a lot of fans more outraged than before. Some, on the other hand, found it difficult to feel bad for him.

Joe Budden Thinks “Silence” Would Have Been A Better Option For Lil Wayne

During a recent episode of his podcast, for example, Joe Budden shared why he wasn’t a fan of Weezy’s response. “I like silence from the megastars,” he began. “Once you transcend the genre, which I think Wayne is a part of… It’s silent time.” Budden continued, explaining that the video seemed like an odd choice because it’s not something Lil Wayne would usually do. He also questioned the rapper’s claim that he’s “broken” by the snub, noting some of the other obstacles he’s overcome throughout his career.

“Broken? They shot at his tour bus before. You know how much sh*t Lil Wayne’s been through since ’94? You’re broken by this?” he asked. What do you think of Joe Budden’s take on Lil Wayne’s video about not being picked to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show next year? Do you agree that Lil Wayne went overboard with his response or not? Should he have been chosen to perform over Kendrick Lamar?

Juvenile Goes Ballistic On The NFL For Lil Wayne Super Bowl Snub

September 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s safe to say that the internet is pretty split on the decision to invite Kendrick Lamar to perform at Super Bowl 59. Drake fans are definitely seething right about now, especially with the potential for him to be dissed on one of the biggest national stages in the world. However, it seems that the majority of the people who disagree with this choice are Lil Wayne fans. With the NFL championship in New Orleans for the third time this century, supporters of his don’t understand the snub.

In just the five days since the reveal, we have seen multiple friends of his speak out against it. Birdman, Weezy’s daughter Reginae Carter, Master P, and and Cam’ron are just a few. Now, you can add fellow Hot Boys member Juvenile to that growing list. According to a repost from The Shade Room, the “Back That Azz Up” songwriter took to social media to share his passionate thoughts.

Juvenile Wants Roger Goodell To Step Up For Lil Wayne

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Instead of calling out JAY-Z and Roc Nation, Juvenile takes aim at the NFL and its controversial commissioner, Roger Goodell. “My hatred is toward the NFL”, he begins. “I feel like y’all should step in. Y’all have yet to put a hip-hop artist from New Orleans on the damn Super Bowl. I feel like every time y’all come here y’all should have someone from our city on it”. He continues, “But this time it hard when you don’t have Lil Wayne… I don’t see how the f*** y’all don’t have Lil Wayne doin’ the Halftime Show. Somebody that has a whole bunch of f***ing hits, and somebody that really deserves it, and somebody that can bring out multiple artists of all genres”. Juvenile signs off with a warning, saying, “So this goes out to you Roger Goodell. You comin’ into our city, suckin’ up our culture, and makin’ up all of this money… and leavin’ us dry… Gotta stop”.

What are your thoughts on Juvenile’s rant on the NFL being the one to blame for Lil Wayne’s Super Bowl snub? Do you think the commissioner will do anything about this? Are people’s frustrations about this decision to have Kendrick Lamar as the performer valid, why or why not? 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 Juvenile, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, and the NFL.

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red shared a message for Trick Daddy on social media, last week, as caught by AllHipHop. The legendary rapper had gone on a lengthy rant during a recent episode of his B*tch I Got My Pots podcast, in which he argued that Sexyy has been getting snubbed for awards in 2024. “Just saw this right on OG. preciate dat fr,” she wrote in response.

As for Trick Daddy’s take, he labeled Sexxy “one of the most hottest female rappers in decades.” He continued: “Sexyy Red…You got snubbed. Yeah, I said, and you got snubbed. You got snubbed. Sexyy Red was up for the rapper, entertainer, performer. One of ’em other year. I remember last year, they was hating on her since she wasn’t making, now I can’t go in a club. I can’t step in a club without hearing some Sexyy Reds.”

He also compared the rise of both of their careers and feeling unappreciated. “I remember when I was heavy in the music, I was in my prime,” he added. “And every year I would have different excuses from the producers and executives of all the rap and Hip-Hop award shows. ‘Oh, it’s about timing. When you came out and you didn’t come out in time and you didn’t do this in time.’ Y’all snubbed her and y’all gave her award to somebody else. So somebody told me, ‘Well, the other girl is international,’ but God damnit, international. This is not no international award show. She’s international sh*t. I don’t like sh*t like that.”

It’s no secret that it’s been a major year for Sexyy Red. Aside from joining Drake on tour and taking part in several high-profile collabs, the St. Louis-born rapper unleashed her third mixtape In Sexyy We Trust just last month. As expected, it arrived jam-packed with hits. Many fans thought would make her a shoo-in at the BET Awards last night (June 30).

She was nominated for a few different awards, including Best Collaboration, Best Female Artist, and Best New Artist. The latter is what now has her supporters feeling snubbed, however, and they’re making their opinions known.

Travis Scott Gets Candid Discussing His Grammys Snubs

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott is one of the biggest stars in not just rap music, but music period. He’s fresh off the release of his album UTOPIA last year, his first since 2018’s Astroworld. Astroworld received one nomination with its hit single “Sicko Mode” locking up two more. UTOPIA also scored a nomination for Best Rap Album. Ultimately, Scott lost the category to Killer Mike’s Michael as part of a sweep of the rap category that resulted in three wins for the Run The Jewels rapper.

Adding in his work with other artists like Kanye West and SZA, Travis Scott has 10 total Grammy nominations and 0 wins. While you would think that would affect his opinion of the institution, he still sees the award as an admirable goal. During a recent interview he discussed the respect he still has for the Grammys. “A lot of my peers, everyone is like, ‘f*ck that award.’ I actually f*ck with it,” his statement begins. He discusses a time when the Grammys used to be more respected and sought after, then confesses that he still views the awards with that idyllic image. He even goes as far as comparing making music to win Grammys to basketball and football teams trying to win championships. Check out the clips where he discusses the award show below.

January 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent, the acclaimed rapper, actor, and producer, has expressed his disappointment over the recent snub of Power Book III: Raising Kanan at the NAACP Image Awards. The outspoken artist took to social media to share his thoughts on what he perceives as an oversight in recognizing the series. In a candid statement, 50 Cent questioned the decision, emphasizing the show’s undeniable impact on African American and Latino audiences. He stated, “Like, at this point, you should know that this is the place that you would have to have—how long has Power been the No. 1 show in African American and Latino homes?”

The frustration in 50 Cent’s words echoes the sentiment of many fans and industry insiders who view ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ as a cultural phenomenon, resonating particularly with African American and Latino viewers. The series, a part of the broader ‘Power’ franchise, has garnered widespread acclaim for its storytelling, characters, and portrayal of diverse communities. The NAACP Image Awards, traditionally recognizing outstanding achievements by people of color in various entertainment categories, have not included Power Book III: Raising Kanan in their nominations, sparking controversy and disappointment within the fan base.

The artist’s frustration reflects a broader concern within the industry about the recognition of content that authentically portrays and connects with underrepresented communities.

The Alchemist Reacts To Billboard’s “Best Hip-Hop Producers” List Snub

December 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Alchemist keeps proving himself as one of the game’s best producers year after year, but it seems like not everyone’s caught up. Moreover, Billboard recently put out their list of the 25 best hip-hop producers of all time, including Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, J Dilla, and many more. However, Uncle Al didn’t make the list, something that many hip-hop fans lamented online despite the incredibly steep competition across the culture’s 50 years. Via Twitter on Thursday (December 28), he suggested that he was pretty unbothered by the lack of mention while maintaining that the important thing is to focus on proving yourself right every single time.

“but my mommy said i’m the best!!! lol,” The Alchemist joked along with a praying hands emoji in response to Billboard‘s ranking. “Just keep going cr*zy,” he added about an hour later on the social media platform, seemingly continuing his train of thought. “Ignore the scoreboard. By the time they do the math you’ll be so up that it won’t even matter.” Given the California native’s incredible and prolific run of projects and credits in the 2020s decade alone, it’s clear that he’s not slowing down at all in this regard.

The Alchemist Responds To Billboard Omitting Him From Best Rap Producers List

Just keep going crazy. Ignore the scoreboard .
By the time they do the math you’ll be so up that it won’t even matter .

— Alchemist Type Beat (@Alchemist) December 29, 2023

Most recently– in fact, just yesterday at press time– The Alchemist released Hall & Nash 2, a collaborative tape with Conway The Machine and Westside Gunn. This was originally meant to be a sequel mixtape to the original Hall & Nash by the Griselda duo over half a decade ago. Alas, they used some of these tracks like “Ray Mysterio” for other projects, but they now released the original version of the record for fans to enjoy. Not only that, but apparently they’re coming through with an revamped version later in 2024, which should be very exciting.

Meanwhile, the 46-year-old also has some new music with Yasiin Bey coming soon, of which he previewed some at a recent show. As his collaborations expand and his status further cements itself in the contemporary game, he becomes much more than just a legend. LeBron’s still putting up spectacular numbers… why can’t beatmakers do the same? For more news and the latest updates on The Alchemist, log back into HNHH.

Florida State “Disgusted” By CFP Snub Despite Undefeated Season

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Florida State head coach Mike Norvell said he was “disgusted” after the undefeated Seminoles finished fifth in the College Football Playoff rankings. “I am disgusted and infuriated with the committee’s decision today to have what was earned on the field taken away because a small group of people decided they knew better than the results of the games,” Norvell said in a statement. “What is the point of playing games? Do you tell players it is OK to quit if someone goes down? Do you not play a senior on Senior Day for fear of injury? Where is the motivation to schedule challenging nonconference games?” Norvell said. It’s the first time in the history of the CFP that an undefeated conference champion didn’t make the playoffs.

Furthermore, the committee’s decision meant that the 13-0 Seminoles were left out of the four-team playoff in favor of two one-loss teams. Texas (No. 3) and Alabama (No. 4) both made the cut as one-loss conference champions. It is was ta spate of late-season injuries at quarterback that cost Florida State their place in the last four-team playoff. Instead, the Seminoles will play Georgia in the Orange Bowl on Christmas Eve. Georgia lost the SEC Championship to Alabama.

Michigan Headlines CFP Bracket

Just four teams remain in contention for the college football National Championship. They are headlined by Michigan, the Big 10’s undefeated powerhouse. Sign-stealing allegations aside, Michigan has been a monster this season and boasts the best defense in the nation. They face Alabama, who leapt into the top-four after knocking off Georgia. The Crimson Tide looked dead in the water after their Week Two loss to Texas. However, they bounced back to rattle off eleven consecutive wins and now appear in their eighth CFP bracket.

Meanwhile, Washington completed an undefeated season to become the first Pac-12 team since 2016 to reach the CFP bracket. Ironically, they achieved it in the final season of the Pac-12 as we know it. While Washington’s defense has been shaky at times, they are led by Heisman contender Michael Penix Jr at quarterback. They face Texas, who routed Oklahoma State in the Longhorns‘ final Big 12 game. Texas enter as a one-loss champion, having fallen to Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry earlier in the season. Despite the hype around Arch Manning, it has been returning QB Quinn Ewers who has helped steer Texas to their first CFP appearance.
