Millyz “Targeted” And Detained By Police For Firearm

Massachusetts rapper Millyz found himself detained by the police in Phoenix over the weekend. The detainment happened following a routine traffic stop. The incident took an unexpected turn when the police discovered a legally owned firearm during the search. This information was confirmed by a member of Millyz’s team. A video capturing the scene quickly spread across social media. It shows approximately six police officers from the removing the rapper from the back of his vehicle.

According to Millyz’s representative, they firmly believe that the rapper and his entourage were specifically targeted. They emphasized that the video footage was not staged or part of any promotional effort. The representative explained that the police had been tailing them for around ten blocks. Then, they eventually stopped and detained them for the presence of a legal firearm. Hours later, they were released without being held overnight. Consequently, there is an absence of a mugshot on the police department’s website.

Millyz Is “Targeted” Yet Again

Millyz’s encounter with law enforcement isn’t the only issue he has faced recently. Back in March, Slim Jxmmi of Rae Sremmurd took aim at the Cambridge rapper. He criticized his rendition of Eminem’s hit song “Stan.” Slim Jxmmi asserted that Rae Sremmurd had a superior version of the track in the works. Millyz, on the other hand, acknowledged Slim Shady’s permission to use the sample on his recent song “Tonight.” The rapper also shared a preview on Instagram. Despite this, Slim Jxmmi dismissed Millyz’s version. He claimed that Rae Sremmurd’s adaptation had more impact. He made sure to note that they, too, had received clearance for the sample.

In the comments section of Akademiks’ Instagram post, Slim Jxmmi further asserted that Millyz’s inspiration for using the song came from Swae Lee’s leaked video. Swae Lee, Slim Jxmmi’s brother and fellow group member, had posted a TikTok video in August 2022. In it, he altered the lyrics of “Stan” to include references to lean and wealth. Slim Jxmmi argued that nobody had expressed interest in using the sample. That is, until Swae Lee’s video gained attention. As such, he suggested that Millyz’s decision was influenced by his brother’s adaptation.

Lil Wayne, Offset, And Swae Lee Join Forces With Metro Boomin To “Annihilate” On New “Spider-Man” Soundtrack

Metro Boomin’s last project, HEROES & VILLAINS, left the producer’s fans pleasantly surprised at the end of 2022. While many songs from that tracklist are still in rotation, he’s got even more in store for us this year. On Friday (June 2), Metro dropped off the accompanying soundtrack for the new Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse animated film. It found him linking up with some of his closest friends, as much of his best work does. Coi Leray let her confidence shine on “Self Love,” and 21 Savage joined forces with 2 Chainz and Don Toliver for “Givin’ Up (Not The One).”

Elsewhere on the 13-track effort, we hear from three lyrical legends – Swae Lee, Lil Wayne, and Offset – on the opening title, “Annihilate.” Coming in at nearly four minutes, the song finds each artist unleashing on-theme bars such as “Weezy Carter, I’m ’bout to go Peter Parker / I’m Spider-Man, if he ain’t me, he just a creepy crawler.”

Weezy Carter, I’m ’bout to go Peter Parker

Spider web necklace with the diamonds
She’ll turn to Spider-Woman if I bite her

Rae Sremmurd’s Biggest Hits

Almost every time Rae Sremmurd releases an album, multiple songs will become hits. Whether it is a single or an album cut, a hit song is practically guaranteed. Originally from Tupelo, Mississippi, brothers Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee came up under Atlanta producer Mike Will Made-It’s Ear Drummers label. Rae Sremmurd, which is “ear drummers” backward, was the first to sign to the label in 2014. That same year, the duo released their debut single, “No Flex Zone,” which became an immediate hit song. 

In 2015, Rae Sremmurd released their debut album, SremmLife, which introduced the world to their sound and ability to make catchy hit records. On their second album, 2016’s SremmLife 2, Rae Sremmurd showcased their star power and that their debut was no fluke. The pair’s third studio album, 2018’s SR3MM, was an ambitious triple-disc project consisting of solo albums from both Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi, as well as a complete duo album. This year, Rae Sremmurd released a new album called Sremm 4 Life, continuing their established sound and chemistry. This is a list of Rae Sremmurd’s biggest hits based on their Gold or Platinum status, chart performance, and cultural impact. Listed in chronological order, take a look at the list below.

“No Type” (2014)

“No Type” is one of Rae Sremmurd’s biggest and earliest hits. The song was the second single from SremmLife. The song is produced by Mike Will Made-It and Swae Lee and features a minimal yet bouncy instrumental. The song has a very catchy chorus that is instantly recognizable in any setting. “No Type” peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s US Rap Chart and went Platinum in 2015 before being certified 6x Platinum in 2018.

“Throw Sum Mo” feat. Nicki Minaj & Young Thug (2014)

“Throw Sum Mo” is one of Rae Sremmurd’s more upbeat hits than other tracks on SremmLife. The booming instrumental, combined with the simple yet incredibly catchy hook from Nicki Minaj, make for a strip club anthem. The song is about exactly what its title suggests, which is throwing money in the club.

Additionally, “Throw Sum Mo” is one of Rae Sremmurd’s most exciting songs and features one of Swae Lee’s best flows. The song also has a show-stealing appearance from Young Thug, who provides rapid flows and strange yet appealing melodies. The track initially went Platinum in 2016 but is now 3x Platinum as of April 2023, making for their most recent certification. 

“This Could Be Us” (2015)

“This Could Be Us” is a more personal and emotional song than “No Type” or “Throw Sum Mo.” The song deals with infidelity and heartbreak as Swae Lee sings in the chorus, “This could be us but you playing.” Though the song might be more vulnerable than other songs on SremmLife, “This Could Be Us” is still a major hit song, featuring a catchy hook that was made for singing along. The song has been certified Platinum multiple times, first in June 2016 and its most recent certification being 4x Platinum in April 2023.

“Come Get Her” (2015)

Off the hook alone, “Come Get Her” is one of Rae Sremmurd’s biggest hits. It is one of their many songs about having a good time in the club. The track’s hook was made for singing along. The verses on the track are energetic, while the hook is slow and melodic. “Come Get Her” was produced by Mike Will Made-It, charting at No. 11 on the US Rap Chart, and is certified 4x Platinum.

“Black Beatles” feat. Gucci Mane (2016)

“Black Beatles” took the world by storm when it came out in 2016. The third single from SremmLife 2 was the soundtrack to the viral “Mannequin Challenge” trend, where people would stand like statues, often in elaborate situations. Rae Sremmurd built their momentum after having multiple hits on their first album, and with the help of the “Mannequin Challenge,” “Black Beatles” became their biggest hit to date and remained one of their biggest singles.

The bass-heavy beat combined with the catchy chorus was the recipe for success. The song also features a verse from Gucci Mane, who had been on a victory lap of hit songs following his release from prison that same year. “Black Beatles” was Rae Sremmurd’s first No. 1 hit single, achieving 8x Platinum status.

“Swang” (2016)

Also, from SremmLife 2, “Swang” was one of the bigger songs from the album. “Swang” may not have reached the same level of success as “Black Beatles,” but it still made for a hit single. Swae Lee’s high-pitched rapping in his verse distinguishes the song, and it is the only track in this list that Mike Will Made-It didn’t produce. P-Nazty handled the instrumental and the song has since been 5x platinum recently.

“Powerglide” feat. Juicy J (2018)

Of all 27 songs on Rae Sremmurd’s SR3MM triple-disc album, “Powerglide” is easily the biggest hit. The song is noticeably more uptempo than usual, featuring a fast rhythm. Much like the song’s music video suggests, the music sounds like it was made for fast driving. “Powerglide” samples “Side 2 Side” by Three 6 Mafia, which is exactly why Juicy J sounds so comfortable over the beat. The song is Rae Sremmurd’s biggest hit in recent years.

Swae Lee Got Into A Huge Fight With Security At Coachella Moments Before Rae Sremmurd’s Set

Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee got into a serious brawl at Coachella ahead of his performance at the festival. TMZ, who obtained video of the fight, report that Lee and his crew were entering the security checkpoint before things broke out between security guards and those from Lee’s team.

All the while, one of Lee’s own guards went to protect the musician’s baby, who was also present in a car seat.

“As Swae Lee attempted to enter the festival with his newborn son and working crew, overzealous security guards confronted them. As 1/2 of Rae Sremmurd, he was due to perform on Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre stage at 5:55 PM. Security claimed not to recognize the talent and then aggressively initiated contact as they attempted to make their way to the stage,” Lee’s management shared with the publication, offering more insight into how things went south.

“The security guards, which we presume are independent contractors, are seen clearly being the aggressors and then throwing gang signs at end of the video in a celebration,” they added.

Thankfully, nobody has seemed to be injured, and Lee — along with Slim Jxmmi and the rest of the Rae Sremmurd setup crew made it into Coachella in time to take the stage.

Swae Lee Involved In Insane Brawl With Coachella Security, Son Taken To Safety: Footage

Swae Lee had one hell of a weekend at Coachella but unfortunately, not everything was rosy. Footage emerged this morning of a nasty brawl happening as Swae and his crew attempted to enter the festival grounds. Right before the rapper hit the stage, security got physical with members of his team. Not to keep anyone behind, the rapper, along with his crew, intervened. Still, security knocked Swae back into the fences. Still, his team did an exceptional job keeping him safe.

Unfortunately, the brawl went down right in front of Swae Lee’s child. The footage shows a woman carrying a baby scroller, saying, “Get your hands off the f*ckin’ baby.” Though Swae and his crew got deeper into the festival grounds, the security evidently continued to press them further. By the end of it, Swae Lee and his brother Slim Jxmmi made their way to the stage. As expected, they delivered a high-energy performance as Rae Sremmurd

Swae Lee’s Management Speaks

In a statement to TMZ, Lee’s team explained that the security failed to recognize the talent on the grounds. They explained the festival security blocked Swae as Rae Sremmurd approached their set time. “As Swae Lee attempted to enter the festival with his newborn son and working crew, overzealous security guards confronted them,” the statement reads. “As 1/2 of Rae Sremmurd, he was due to perform on Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre stage at 5:55 PM. Security claimed not to recognize the talent and then aggressively initiated contact as they attempted to make their way to the stage.”

They added, “The security guards, which we presume are independent contractors, are seen clearly being the aggressors and then throwing gang signs at end of the video in a celebration.” Swae’s team praised his security detail for doing an incredible job protecting him and his child. Fortunately, it didn’t hinder Rae Sremmurd’s set where they performed several cuts from their latest project, Sremm 4 Life, which arrived just before Coachella and features singles like “Lean Gone Cold.” Check out the footage of the scrap above and let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Blueface Squares Up With DDG While Swae Lee Moderates

Blueface is an artist who knows how to maneuver around social media. Overall, his rise to fame was largely due to Twitter and his propensity to go viral. He came onto the scene with a unique sound and a flow that was chasing the beat. Although some hated this stylistic choice, others loved it, which led to his popularity. Since that time, Blue has focused more on the entertainment side of things. He has a reality show with Chrisean Rock, and previously, he had a reality show on OnlyFans.

Subsequently, he has been getting involved in the world of professional boxing. As many of you know, boxing has proven to be lucrative for entertainers. People like Jake Paul, Lamar Odom, and Le’Veon Bell have all shown quite a bit of talent in the ring. Consequently, Blueface has joined the sport as well, where he has even clinched a win. Now, he has a new fight on the horizon, and he is willing to go up against anyone. He is fearless, and it seems like his fellow rappers are aware of this.

Blueface Vs. DDG

The latest rapper to seemingly challenge Blueface in the realm of combat is none other than DDG. However, we should note that this was simply a staged exhibition for social media. Although, the presence of Swae Lee as the referee certainly brings it all together. In the video above, you can see Blue and DDG square up on the beach. While they throw some punches, they are weak and not made to actually connect with anything. It was all for fun, but it still had fans theorizing about who would actually win.

For the most part, fans thought Blueface would be the likely victor of this fight. However, there was quite a bit of love for DDG who has also shown some skill in the boxing ring. Either way, Blueface will have to win his next fight before he even thinks about stepping in the ring again. Let us know who you believe would be victorious here, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Swae Lee Says Ex-Girlfriend Left Him For A Truck Driver Because He Made More Money

Swae Lee is opening up about the first heartbreak that made him the man he is. The father of two has had his share of women troubles hit the internet. Last year, he was feuding with the mother of his first child for allegedly keeping the baby a secret. He filed for joint custody shortly after his current girlfriend, Victoria Kristine, announced her pregnancy in August. Since then, it appears all is much calmer, but his first real girlfriend is the one who might’ve influenced his playboy ways. 

Lee made the revelation during a chat with Million Dollaz Worth of Game alongside brother Slim Jxmmi. Lee explained the breakup occurred when he was around 18 and living in his producer’s basement. During this time, his girlfriend ended things with him while he was down on his luck. Her reasoning? Lee says he left her for a guy that was a truck driver. The Grammy-nominated rapper and singer revealed the man he lost his girl to made roughly $12,000 a month. At this time, this was way more than Lee was bringing in. Still, the girl wanted to have her cake and eat it, too, allowing Lee to drive her new boyfriend’s car while he was on the road. 

Swae Lee Has An Interesting Past With His Ex

These days, money is no object. Celebrity Net Worth reports Lee’s net worth to be around $9 million, with Slim Jxmmi bringing in the same amount. Jxmmi has also had his fair share of lady drama. In 2022, he was arrested for allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend, Kee, and the mother of his 1-year-old son. Then there was more drama in February when Jxmmi was pictured with rapper Sukihana. Kee was upset that the two linked up, resulting in a word war on social media. 

Recently, the brothers reunited for a new album, “Sremm 4 Life.” The two hadn’t released new music together in several years as Swae Lee worked on his own career. Jxmmi has not amassed much solo success. He dropped a few singles, such as “Brxnks Truck” and “Fine Wine & Hennessy,” though they have not reached the same peaks as his brother. The brothers are now returning to group life without any distractions, not even from the ladies.
