Kendrick Lamar Fans Blame Drake For Latest Bizarre Bot Attack

by

Last summer, Pusha T fell victim to a barrage of bots on Twitter/X, which targeted him with a slew of bizarre posts. The posts included outlandish claims, strange altered images, and more. It wasn’t long before fans started to speculate about the cause of the attack, and ultimately, settled on Drake. Due to their longwinded feud, as well as various posts including Drake-related hashtags, it only made sense that the Toronto-born performer could have spearheaded the attack in some way.

Now, yet another artist has come under fire on the platform, Kendrick Lamar. Twitter/X is currently flooded with countless wild posts about the performer. “Kendrick Lamar is Oprah Winfrey’s adrenochrome plug,” one of the posts reads. “Kendrick Lamar has an iPhone 6 with the screen cracked,” another says.

Social Media Users Recall Pusha T’s Bot Attack

Obviously, none of these claims are confirmed, nor is Drake’s involvement in the debacle. Either way, fans are convinced. After all, Kendrick did just recently drag both Drake and J. Cole on a new track with Future and Metro Boomin, “Like That.” Drizzy’s yet to properly address the diss, though he’s speculated to have a response on the way. He’s set to appear on a track called “Olympic S*** Talkin” on Bfb Da Packman’s new album Forget Me Not which arrives this Friday (March 29). Of course, listeners expect to hear him take at least a few shots at Kendrick.

Kendrick also may have a Drake diss track at the ready, at least according to streamer Adin Ross. He’s yet to say anything publicly about his explosive We Don’t Trust You verse. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar fans speculating that Drake is behind this latest bot attack? Do you think they’re on to something, or is it a reach?

Ashanti’s Alleged Baby Bump Doesn’t Stop Her From Getting Down Onstage: Watch

by

For months now, fans have suspected that Ashanti and Nelly are expecting their first child together. Rumors first started when the reunited lovebirds each put a hand on her stomach during a performance, giggling after the fact. Ever since, supporters have been watching the songstress like a hawk, searching for any sign of a growing bump. She hasn’t made it easy, however, opting to rock loosely fitting clothing during all of her recent appearances.

Ashanti’s mother Tina Douglas, on the other hand, made an interesting comment during an interview earlier this month that led fans to believe the pregnancy was confirmed. Upon being congratulated for her daughter’s rumored pregnancy, she corrected the host, who then apologized and said she had believed it was public. “It is public, don’t get it twisted,” Douglas responded. “But it hasn’t been officially announced.”

Ashanti Gives Performance Her All Amid Pregnancy Rumors

Either way, all of this talk about growing her family hasn’t slowed Ashanti down in the slightest. She continues to give her all onstage, flexing her vocal prowess and her dancing skills. During a recent show, she even dropped it low while singing her 2002 hit, “Foolish.” Some viewers can’t help but notice what appears to be a baby bump underneath Ashanti’s oversized jersey, however, and are sounding off in the Hollywood Unlocked Instagram comments section.

“The belly is bellyingggg,” one fan writes alongside a series of heart-eyed emojis. “Aweeee that Baby Bumpppp,” another says. “I feel like the baby my cousin after growing up being a fan of Ashanti.” Others are simply praising Ashanti for putting on an impressive show, whether or not she’s actually expecting. What do you think of Ashanti’s recent performance? What about rumors that she’s expecting her first child with Nelly?

Future Fans Think He Dissed Drake On “We Don’t Trust You”

by

Future and Metro Boomin’s eagerly awaited collaborative album We Don’t Trust You has finally arrived, and fans are already hard at work dissecting each verse. On the second verse of the project’s title track, for example, Future goes in on an unnamed opp, leaving listeners to speculate. “You a n***a number one fan, dog/ Sneak dissin’, I don’t understand, dog/ Pillowtalkin’, actin’ like a fed, dog/ I don’t need another fake friend, dog/ Can’t be ’bout a ho, ’cause we sharin’, dog/ In you feelings, n***a, why you playin’, dog?” he rhymes.

Some Instagram users in Akademiks’ comments section suspect that the lyrics are aimed at Drake, as it’s rumored that the two MCs have had beef brewing for years. Many believe the repetition of “Dog” in Future’s verse is a reference to Drake’s For All The Dogs, and are digging up reasons why the former collaborators could be at war.

Future & Metro Boomin Drop New Collaborative Album

For one, fans think Drake delaying the release of What a Time to Be Alive 2 in favor of Her Loss with 21 Savage could have sparked some animosity. There’s also talk that Drake could have slept with Future’s girl at some point. Commenters even note that Future seemingly sided with Metro Boomin amid his rumored feud with Drake last year, indicating that there could be tension behind the scenes.

Future isn’t the only one believed to have gone after Drake on We Don’t Trust You, however. Kendrick Lamar appears on a track called “Like That,” and threw some pretty direct jabs at the Canadian hitmaker as well as J. Cole. “F**k sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” he raps. “I still got PTSD, motherf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me!” What do you think of Future and Metro Boomin’s new collaborative album? Who do you think Future dissed on “We Don’t Trust You”? What about the speculation it was Drake? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ashanti’s Mother Seemingly Confirms Pregnancy Rumors, Claims It’s “Public” But Not “Announced”

by

Rumors that Ashanti and Nelly are expecting their first child together have been floating around for months now, but the pair has yet to confirm the big news. While some fans have treated the alleged pregnancy as common knowledge, others have pointed out that Ashanti appears to be doing her best to keep it under wraps. Despite her rocking oversized fits at her latest performances, supporters speculate that the songstress is sporting a growing bump these days, which they think she’s trying to conceal.

During a recent interview with Antoine Edwards, Ashanti’s mother Tina Douglas tried to clear up the ongoing confusion. When congratulated for her daughter’s rumored pregnancy, Douglas clarified that it hasn’t been officially announced. The host then apologized, noting that she had believed the news was public. “It is public, don’t get it twisted,” Douglas said. “But it hasn’t been officially announced.”

Tina Douglas Tries To Clear Up The Confusion

It looks like Ashanti’s mother is waiting for her daughter, or her boyfriend Nelly, to confirm the news themselves. Regardless, fans think her response indicates that it’s pretty likely the performer has a baby on the way. Most social media users are happy for the couple, who appear to be doing better than ever as of late. The duo has been seen spoiling one another with lavish parties, extravagant gifts, and more. Some, on the other hand, have been critical. A few commenters have even compared the rumored mother-to-be to Halle Bailey, who hid her pregnancy for months amid rampant rumors. At the beginning of the year, she and her partner DDG officially announced the arrival of their son, Halo.

Plenty of users are coming to Ashanti’s defense, noting that it’s her right to keep her pregnancy to herself, despite any potential backlash.

Dame Dash Has Two “Prominent” NYC Rappers Interested In His Roc-A-Fella Shares

by

Earlier today, attorney Christopher Brown shared a statement regarding the sale of Dame Dash’s Roc-A-Fella Records shares. He clarified that the music executive himself has no control over the sale, also telling those trying to purchase them directly through Dame that they’re “barking up the wrong tree.” The lawyer then revealed that there are currently various interested buyers, though he didn’t name names.

“Mr. Dash did not create this auction and is simply a judgment debtor along for the ride,” his statement reads. “I was recently informed that the Office of Child Support Services (New York City) has added a lien to the auction in the amount of $123,562.37 for unpaid child support and Mr. Dash has a judgment against him in the case of Bunn v. Dash, 20-07389 for $30,000.00 pending in California. This too will be added.”

Attorney Claims Dame Dash Has No Control Over The Sale

“Buyer Beware when it comes to Damon Dash. My office and the United States Marshal are in control of this process. With that being said, I am negotiating with various entities to sell the judgments that are the focal point of the auction. The parties seeking to purchase the judgments fully intend to complete the auction process,” he also adds. “My team/clients has heard from two prominent New York rappers, however, the present leading candidates to purchase the judgments are World One TV and another network, and both networks are willing to pay an amount in excess of the judgments, understanding the value of this once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Fans suspect that the rappers interested in Dame’s shares could be Cam’ron and Mase, as sources have claimed since February.

Charleston White Discusses Meek Mill & Diddy’s Rumored Romance On Adin Ross’ Stream

by

Last week, Diddy’s legal got even more complicated when a producer hit him with yet another lawsuit. Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones accuses him of sexual misconduct, alleging that he groped him, showed him explicit videos, and more. In his suit, he additionally says that Diddy revealed two fellow artists he claims to have slept with, whose names were redacted.

Their descriptions sparked plenty of speculation, however. One of the individuals is described as “a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj.” The other, “performed at the Super Bowl and had a successful Vegas Residency.” Now, rumors that it was Meek Mill and Usher are running rampant. Usher has stayed silent on the issue so far. Meek Mill, on the other hand, has been extremely vocal on Twitter/X. He denies ever having a sexual relationship with Diddy and insists DJ Akademiks, who was among the first to make the assumption, is simply out to get him.

Ashanti’s Alleged Secret Pregnancy Sparks Halle Bailey Comparisons

by

Ashanti has had fans speculating that she’s expecting for some time now, and the rumors don’t show any signs of slowing down. While this has yet to be confirmed by her or Nelly, who she rekindled her romance with last year, they’ve previously gotten close to letting the alleged cat out of the bag. Late last year, they were onstage during a performance when Ashanti put her hand over her stomach, and Nelly followed suit. The two of them then broke out into laughter, seemingly indicating they knew something the public didn’t.

Since then, supporters have been dissecting Ashanti’s every move, searching for signs she’s pregnant. Recently, the songstress graced the stage in yet another loosely-fitting look, causing commenters to suspect she’s hiding a growing bump. While some are showing support for Ashanti’s decision to keep her alleged little one a secret, others are growing frustrated, and even comparing her to Halle Bailey.

Ashanti Delivers Impressive Vocal Performance

The Little Mermaid star similarly had pregnancy rumors running rampant last year, which she and her boyfriend DDG denied.

While Ashanti has opted to keep her signature snatched frame under wraps these days, she certainly hasn’t kept her talent hidden. In the clip, she’s seen going in on “The Woman You Love,” effortlessly belting out high notes. Clearly, pregnant or not, Ashanti never fails to put on a great show.

It goes without saying that Lil Meech has had a rocky few months when it comes to relationships, but according to him, that hasn’t left him with any hard feelings towards his exes. During a recent appearance on The Morning Hustle, the BMF actor opened up about his infamous split from Summer Walker and revealed where they stand now.

His relationship with Summer Walker isn’t the only thing Lil Meech addressed during the interview, however. The Detroit-born performer also touched on rumors that a lucky lady in his life is expecting, which he sparked himself late last year. In December, a clip of Meech chatting with friends in the studio started making its rounds online, which shows his response to the question of whether or not he has any children. “I’ve got one on the way right now,” he said. “My girl is pregnant.”

While this certainly managed to get fans talking, and even theorizing that the mother-to-be was Summer, Meech says he was simply joking. “I don’t know where they got that from,” he explained before being reminded of the clip. “Oh, I think I know what you’re talking about,” Meech continued. “Yeah, I was playing in that video. They took a video of me playing around and probably made it into something.” What do you think of Lil Meech shutting down rumors that his lady is pregnant?

Kanye West Shuts Down Solo Album Rumors After Erick Sermon Teases “Y3”

by

Earlier this month, Erick Sermon chatted with HipHopDX about a new solo project Kanye West has on the way. According to Ye, however, it’s nothing but “fake news.” At the time, Sermon claimed that he had worked alongside the Chicago MC in Florence, Italy in 2023, on material that wasn’t for his joint project with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures. He even shared details of the rumored release, stating that fans would see a return of the “old Ye.”

“The record I was working on wasn’t what him and Ty Dolla Sign was doing at the time,” he explained. “I was working on Y3, Ye’s solo album […] Hopefully, we can finish what we started, y’know, ’cause I had him on Hip Hop. I was like, ‘You got to rhyme and we have to do the stuff that you used to do ’cause you ill at that,’ y’know? And he listened […] I had [the old Kanye] back.” Now, Ye has responded to a fan account asking about the project, making it clear that it doesn’t actually exist.

Diddy & Meek Mill Wear Matching Outfits In Resurfaced Photo Amid Rumors They Slept Together

by

Diddy was recently hit with yet another lawsuit from someone accusing him of sexual misconduct, this time Lil Rod, a male producer. In his suit, Lil Rod alleges that Diddy groped his genitals, made him watch explicit videos, and engaged in other illegal activity. The filing also alleges that Diddy told Lil Rod he had slept with two other celebrities, though their names had been redacted. One of them is described as “a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj,” while the other is said to have “performed at the Super Bowl and had a successful Vegas Residency.” Almost immediately, social media users started to speculate that the individuals Diddy slept with were Meek Mill and Usher, respectively.

Meek Mill has since taken to Twitter/X to deny these allegations. Fans continue to dig up clues that appear to support Lil Rod’s claims, however. An old photo recently resurfaced, for example, that shows Diddy and Meek Mill posing side by side. Notably, the two artists are wearing matching outfits, though it hasn’t been confirmed whether or not this was intentional.
