The feuds involving Drake picked up steam when Kendrick Lamar dissed him on Metro Boomin and Future’s song, “Like That,” last month. After three weeks of waiting, he finally fired back with “Push Ups.” On the song, he targeted several other artists who dissed him before he could drop the song, including The Weeknd, Rick Ross, and more.

Ja Rule Speaks On Rappers Targeting Drake

In other Ja Rule news, he recently had to cancel his performances in the United Kingdom after being denied entry. In a post on social media from February, he explained: “I’m so devastated I can’t believe the UK won’t let me in I’ve spent a half million dollars in production of my own money to put this tour together only to be denied entry DAYS before my shows this is not fair to me or my fans these venues are 85% sold and now I can’t come… The UK is one of the few European countries that restricts entry to people with criminal records. In general, you will likely be denied entry if you have been convicted of a crime punishable by 23 months or more under British law or served more than 12 months in prison.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Ja Rule on HotNewHipHop.

After weeks of teasing, the record leaked a few days in advance of its release but she had a pretty great response. Just two hours after dropping the album, she revealed that it was actually a double album and unleashed an entire second half of the project with 15 more songs. Amid a sea of Taylor discussion, Mary J Blige reacted to being compared to the biggest star in music.

The comparison came from Flavor Flav, who revealed himself to be one of the most surprising Swifties out there. He stopped by a show on her eras tour last year and then spoke about the pop star during a radio interview earlier this year. Now Blige is reacting to the comparison during a recent interview with People. “I mean, I love Taylor Swift. She sings about what’s going on in her life. It’s kind of similar because she definitely gives you a piece of a relationship in a minute and whatever she may be dealing with. And that’s just her therapy. That’s just her way of expressing herself through her song, and people relate, Blige said. Check out her full interview discussion Swift, her next album, and more below.

Last year, Mary J Blige shut down rumors that she was going to do a “Verzuz” in hilarious fashion. “I could put the What’s The 411 album on and just walk away,” she said when asked about it.

But now, those are the things which, I guess as a mom and an evolved young lady — emphasis on ‘young’ — there are things I feel like I would never do. Like, ‘Oh my God, I really did that? Nips out?’” she says in the interview. In other portions of the interview she discussed other notable fashion moments, like her famous Guo Peng dress from the 2015 Met Gala.

Joe Budden Claims J. Cole’s Apology Will Hurt His Legacy But Help Hip-Hop

by

As one of the most prominent members of the hip-hop media space, Joe Budden is very interested in the biggest rap story of the year so far. Throughout the beef sparked by Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Future & Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” Budden has followed the resulting beef very closely. He even called together an emergency podcast to react to Drake’s response song when it dropped over the weekend. That podcast proved pretty insightful to both the potential future of the beef and how others in the rap world are reacting to it.

During a new podcast episode, Budden and company discuss J. Cole. He was the first to fire back at Kendrick when he dropped his surprise mixtape Might Delete Later. The project contained a song called “7 Minute Drill” where he called out Kendrick’s discography in an attempt to rock his foundation as one of the genre’s most acclaimed figures. Clearly, he regret the diss track because he apologized for it only a few days later during his Dreamville festival headlining slot. He doubled down a week later when he removed the song from streaming services entirely. Check out what Joe Budden had to say about his actions below.

Joe Budden Comments On J. Cole’s Apology Kendrick Lamar

Budden and his co-hosts have an interesting take on the situation. He says directly that he believes Cole’s legacy will be negatively affected by his apology. But after a discussion of the way the rap community is reacting, he makes another observation. Claiming that younger and less competitive rappers aren’t thinking nearly as much about the apology as older generations, he sees the move as an over all positive one for the genre.

What do you think of Joe Budden’s claims that J. Cole’s apology to Kendrick Lamar is bad for his legacy but good for hip-hop overall? Do you think it was the right move for Cole to walk back on his diss track so soon after dropping it? Let us know in the comments section below.
