Kendrick Lamar’s Leaked Verse For Frank Ocean’s “Nights” Has Fans Split

by

Kendrick Lamar has been making plenty of headlines in recent months for his viral lyrical battle with Drake. He went viral for a far more surprising reason today, however, as one of his scrapped verses recently surfaced. The verse in question was for Frank Ocean’s “Nights,” and is now making its rounds online.

As expected, the verse is pretty raw and seems to showcase Kendrick experimenting to find a direction before recording a final cut. It’s earned mixed reactions from social media users so far, who are sounding off on X. While some think Kendrick really cooked with this one, and are disappointed that it was left off the record, others are relieved it was.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Nights” Verse Surfaces Online

“I fw Kendrick but sometimes this n***a does bullsh*t on instrumentals and make weird a** voices and people swear it’s experimental,” one user writes, “Sh*t sounds horrible.” Another simply says, “No way people are calling this bad.” Obviously, whether or not Kendrick’s verse would have been a good addition to the iconic track is still up for debate.

It remains unclear exactly why the version of “Nights” featuring Kendrick was never formally released. Of course, it’s possible that Ocean simply felt like he had a hit without it, or that the verse didn’t fit in with the rest of Blonde. Either way, supporters are glad to finally get to hear it, if only to know what could have been.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Take Fans By Surprise With “Vultures 2” Release

by

After plenty of delays, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have finally unleashed their joint album, Vultures 2. The project was originally slated for release earlier this year, pushed back, then put on hold indefinitely. This week, a message on the official YZY website promised it would arrive on August 2, which came and went with no drop in sight. As expected, fans were disappointed, though the duo made it up to them early this morning.

Vultures 2 boasts various high-profile features from the likes of Lil Wayne, Future, Young Thug, and more. Of course, Ye and Ty also enlist the help of Don Toliver, Kodak Black, and Playboi Carti on “FIELD TRIP,” which has quickly become a fan favorite. So far, the release has social media users split.

While most are impressed with Vultures 2, many are disappointed. Some are even arguing that it doesn’t live up to Vultures 1, though this is a pretty controversial take. Others are simply glad to have gotten something, as repeated delays had supporters feeling less hopeful than ever that the project would ever see the light of day.

Vultures 2 follows Ye and Ty Dolla Sign’s first joint album, Vultures 1, which dropped in February of this year. Previously, it was announced that the LP would be followed by a third installment, Vultures 3. At the time of writing, a release date for that has yet to be announced.

Cardi B’s Fans Shower Her With Love Amid Pregnancy News & Offset Divorce

by

Today, Cardi B took to Instagram to announce that she’s expecting her third child. The news arrived amid rampant pregnancy rumors, and shortly after the femcee was spotted flaunting a baby bump. It also came just hours after it was revealed that Cardi filed for divorce from her husband of seven years, Offset.

Offset was spotted at a casino with his ex Pretty Redz earlier this week, though he denies cheating on the “Enough” performer. According to a source who chatted with Page Six, this also has nothing to do with Cardi’s decision to file. “They’ve grown apart,” they explained. “That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else.” Reportedly, Cardi is seeking primary custody of their children.

As expected, social media users are having a field day with the exciting news, though not everyone is on the same page. While some are simply showering the Bronx artist with love and support, others are questioning what exactly this means for her upcoming album. Many also point out that she looks to be pretty far along, and are curious when the little one is due to arrive.

Obviously, there are a lot of major changes happening in Cardi B’s life at the moment. Fortunately, it looks like she’s approaching everything with a positive mindset, and can’t wait to meet her third child. “With every ending comes a new beginning!” she wrote alongside her announcement. “I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!”

Cardi B & Offset Divorce Reports Leave Social Media Users Split

by

Earlier this week, Offset was spotted alongside his ex Pretty Redz at a casino, prompting cheating rumors to run rampant. He quickly took to social media to address the debacle, suggesting that he was faithful to his wife of seven years, Cardi B. “Shorty ain’t my shorty,” he said simply, though his statement did little to quell fans’ suspicions.

Now, Page Six reports that Cardi B has filed for divorce from the former Migos member. A source who spoke with the outlet claims that these latest cheating rumors are unrelated to her decision. “They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else,” they explained. “This is something she wants to do.” Reportedly, she is seeking primary custody of their two children, Kulture and Wave.

The news also arrived shortly after photos of Cardi B sporting what appears to be a baby bump surfaced online. The rapper has been at the center of pregnancy rumors for months now, though this might be the most convincing hint yet. Despite ongoing speculation, Cardi has yet to address the photos, making theories that she’s expecting unconfirmed for the time being.

Amid all of these major developments, social media users have been sounding off on X, weighing in on the current situation of the high-profile (former) pair. While many are happy for Cardi B for doing what she thinks is best, others can’t help but feel sorry for everyone involved, particularly considering rumors that she may have a baby on the way. Some also point out that this is the second time she’s reportedly filed for divorce, so things have the potential to change.

King Combs Gets Ripped To Shreds For Upcoming LL Cool J Remake

by

Despite Diddy’s ongoing legal issues, his son King Combs has been hard at work on new music. Unfortunately, however, not all of it has been well received. Earlier this week, the 26-year-old took to Instagram to preview a song he has on the way with Cash Cobain, which samples LL Cool J’s 2002 hit “Luv U Better.” The 90s-inspired teaser shows a party scene featuring Combs’ girlfriend Raven Tracy, and several others taking shots. He took a more explicit approach to the reimagined track, switching the lyrics “I’m gone love you better” to “I’m gone f*ck you better.”

Combs also used some bars from Fabolous’ 2009 “Throw It In The Bag (Remix)” featuring Drake, though he made some small changes to his verse. “If my lady like to eat Imma buy her restaurants/ And she such a boss b*tch she can hire who she want/ She can help me blow this za — she the fire to my blunt,” he raps, for example. He used the term “za” in the remake while Fabolous used “green” in the original.

Social media users were quick to call Combs out, accusing him of being unoriginal and insisting that the iconic track should have been left alone. “All he does is sample songs horribly,” one Instagram user writes in The Shade Room‘s comments section. “If I was already rich I wouldn’t even try to rap and embarrass myself like this lol smh,” another adds. “We already lived through this era, create your own,” someone else says.

Beyonce’s New Wax Figure Leaves Fans Confused: “That’s Becky”

by

It goes without saying that replicating Beyonce with wax would be a pretty tough feat. Recently, however, the Grévin Museum in Paris has earned a great deal of backlash for what fans think is a wildly off-base depiction of the icon. They unveiled the new wax figure earlier today. Social media users were quick to call them out, accusing them of whitewashing the multi-hyphenate.

“Baby that’s Addison Rae,” one Instagram user writes in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “That’s Becky not Beyonce,” someone else jokes. Others are questioning why the figure’s skin tone was made lighter than the actual Bey’s, and have been reminded of similar instances involving other celebrities. Last year, for example, the same museum unveiled a wax figure of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which some thought more closely resembled Mr. Clean.

Grévin Museum Unveils New Beyonce Wax Figure

The Rock himself responded to the uproar, revealing that he and his team planned to reach out to the museum to ask them to change some “important details,” including his skin color. The museum ended up fixing the wax figure, and acknowledging that it was “indeed whiter than it should have been.” According to them, the mistake was made due to the reference photo they chose to use, and how “tricky” lighting can be sometimes. It’s unclear whether or not Beyonce plans to do something similar. She’s yet to address the debacle at the time of writing.

Back in 2017, Madame Tussauds also displayed a Beyonce wax figure that led to a tremendous amount of criticism. Again, fans demanded a “re-do,” insisting that both her features and skin tone were not being accurately portrayed. The museum later announced that the figure’s styling and lighting would be “adjusted.” What do you think of the Grévin Museum’s new Beyonce wax figure? What about social media users’ reactions to it?

Drake’s New Wax Figure Unveiled At Madame Tussauds New York

by

It’s no secret that Drake’s been making headlines a lot these days for various different reasons. The hitmaker was wrapped up in a heated lyrical battle with Kendrick Lamar in recent months, for one, which nearly everyone had an opinion on. This included Rick Ross, who was just beaten down by a few alleged Drake fans in Vancouver over the weekend. Drizzy has yet to officially address the debacle, though he did look relatively unbothered last night celebrating Canada Day alongside Kevin Durant.

Of course, his current virality makes him a perfect candidate for Madame Tussauds, recently prompting the NYC museum to unveil a brand-new Drake wax figure. Reportedly, they also just revamped the museum portion of the museum, which the unveiling was part of. He’s depicted wearing a khaki jacket and jeans, positioned alongside the likes of Beyonce, Harry Styles, and more.

Drake Wax Figure Sparks Debate

As expected, the new wax figure has prompted mixed reactions among social media users, who are weighing in under a post by Baller Alert. While some think the artist behind the portrayal nailed it, others think it could use some work. Many even argue that it more closely resembles other artists, like French Montana or Bad Bunny. “Aubrey Montana,” one fan jokes. “Close enough,” someone else says.

This is far from the first time one of Madame Tussauds’ figures sparked a debate among social media users, however. Earlier this month, they unveiled a wax figure of Rihanna, which left fans similarly split. Some insist that it’s a spitting image of the Fenty icon, while others think that something went terribly wrong. What do you think of Madame Tussauds New York unveiling a new Drake wax figure? How does it look? Did they nail it or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Drake Gets Ripped To Shreds For Posing With Hookah Hose In His Mouth

by

It goes without saying that it’s been an incredibly rough couple of months for Drake. The Toronto hitmaker was involved in one of the most viral rap feuds of the year, after all, and went up against Kendrick Lamar and several others. Most agree that Kendrick came out on top, and shortly after the fallout of the lyrical battle settled, he reignited things with a show in LA. Kendrick performed his Drake diss tracks for the first time live, surrounded by countless fans and peers. He’s even gearing up to drop a music video for one of the most explosive tracks of the entire beef, “Not Like Us,” which he filmed in Compton over the weekend.

Amid all of this, Drizzy has kept a fairly low profile. He appears to be laying low intentionally, aside from a few sightings here and there, and fans can’t blame him. The hitmaker has been fairly active on social media, however, which has given Kendrick supporters plenty of ammo.

Drake Drops Off New Photo On His Instagram Story

Earlier today, for example, he took to his Instagram Story to share a photo of himself with what appears to be a bright blue hookah hose in his mouth. It’s unclear exactly why he decided to post this, though most think it was far from a good move. He’s now being clowned for the photo in XXL‘s comments section, and X users aren’t holding back in the slightest. “Bro I can’t keep defending this,” one writes. “What’s with this pose bro??” someone else wonders.

Of course, plenty of others are also claiming that he’s “never beatin the allegations,” particularly if he keeps posting things like this. What do you think of Drake’s new Instagram post? Do you think he deserves the roast he’s getting online, or are social media users simply overreacting?
