Did Lil Yachty Diss Lil Uzi Vert? Alleged Uncensored Leak Says Yes

by

For the most part, Lil Yachty manages to stay out of the drama surrounding him in the music industry. Like any famous person, though, he can’t totally avoid controversy. Earlier this month, the Georgia-born lyricist was accused of throwing shade at fellow rapper Lil Uzi Vert. The rumours began after Yachty debuted a new song on Drake’s Table For One Sirius XM radio show. It included some eyebrow-raising bars that were censored to shield the target’s name from listening ears.

“No matter how bad they want the collab, I ain’t friends with U–,” the version that was played on air goes. When hip-hop heads took to Twitter to insinuate that Lil Boat could be shading the “Just Wanna Rock” hitmaker, he defensively shot back at them. “[You] guys are delusional,” Yachty told internet sleuths at the time. “[You] ni**as go around living your life acting like [you] know us,” he further ranted. “S**t is od weird, y’all be grown men too… On here tryna piece s**t together, don’t be knowin’ nothing. Get a job.”

Lil Yachty’s Alleged LUV Diss Surfaces Online

However, on Tuesday (October 17) afternoon, an alleged snippet of the same song – without the name censoring – began circulating. In the video above, Yachty clearly sings Uzi’s name before the 10-second mark (if the leak if legit, that is). “And he was fighting for his life saying he didn’t diss [them] 😂😂,” one Twitter user laughed while pointing out the irony. “This could be AI, right?” another person speculated. We don’t have clear answers just yet, but it likely won’t be long until the “Act Up” writer speaks on the situation.

The rumours of beef between Lil Yachty and LUV from earlier this month were quickly overshadowed that same weekend by gossip about a potential marriage between the Philadelphia native and City Girl JT. We still don’t know the exact status of their relationship, but a noteworthy change to her IG profile gave us an interesting hint. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Afterward, Wayne continues, “Yeah and you know it was because you were able to [sic] you would say things that I would want to say as I’m rapping. You not only made me like—You made me love it. And I became so interested in you. And what happened was I bought the album and did not know that you really was spitting like… You know what I mean. You know I spit that verse to you all the time. So, it was you and Cee-Lo Green was who I would listen to at the time a lot.” He adds that he was also “very much into Noreaga.”

Elsewhere in the discussion, Elliott asks Wayne about how the release of his iconic album, Tha Carter III, shaped his career. He answered: “I think that was probably the first time we noticed — you know what i mean for me, I started really getting that praise you know and I started really accept…Lovin’ it and embracing it. I’m seeing…just seeing people in the street or just from hearing from other artists so really the confidence was just strong.”

“I come from the days we as in artists — we as in Juvenile and B.G. we checking the Billboard magazine to see where this and that. That don’t exist now,” Lil Wayne continued. “When we dropped Tha Block Is Hot it sold like 114,000 or 95,000 the first week and that was the equivalent or the impact of selling a million and I remember I was like, ‘I can’t do nothing but thank God.’”

The interview with Lil Wayne comes after the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced that Missy Elliott is among the artists in the organization’s class of 2023. Other inductees include Kate Bush, Rage Against the Machine, Chaka Khan, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, and more.

Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III is undoubtedly one of the best hip-hop albums of the 2000s, whether for its quality or its influence.

“I come from the days we as in artists — we as in Juvenile and B.G. we checking the Billboard magazine to see where this and that. That don’t exist now,” Lil Wayne continued. “When we dropped Tha Block Is Hot it sold like 114,000 or 95,000 the first week and that was the equivalent or the impact of selling a million and I remember I was like, ‘I can’t do nothing but thank God.’” Overall, it was quite the sweet moment, especially considering how much Missy Elliott and Tunechi admire each other.

“That would be why I was making so many sounds,” he said of her talents. “Missy was into the who- brrrrr- the whole heeheeheeHA. And so when Mannie Fresh would get you in the studio, he gon’ remind you ‘hey, you need to throw that ha ha in there.’ I was like ‘man, he want me to do a sound for every damn line!’ And so the ‘Block Burner’ song was my best favorite song because my favorite artist was Missy Elliott.” On her end, the “Lobby” MC praised the Young Money boss’ impact. “You have Birthed a whole generation after you & Its easy for people to acknowledge Some1’s GREATNESS when their no longer around but I want you to know YOU ARE LEGENDARY no matter who thinks differently,” she tweeted. “YOUR BLUEPRINT is PRESENT! No debate.” For more on Missy Elliott and Lil Wayne, return to HNHH.

Marques Houston Explains Marrying Wife At 19 When He Was 38

by

He once topped the charts and toured the world with his Immature groupmates, but Marques Houston has been controversial in recent years. The singer and actor has been involved in the industry since his childhood. Houston knows the perils of public life, especially the public’s prying eyes. However, he was met with a wave of backlash after he married his wife, Miya, when she was 19. At the time, Houston was 38, and people believed their romance was inappropriate.

Reports ran wild as photos of Marques and Miya’s wedding emerged in 2020. Among the well-wishes were questions about how long the pair were together before tying the knot. Considering her age, people believed Houston dated the teen before she became a legal adult. In an interview with Uncensored, the hitmaker finally addresses the scandal.

Marques Houston Sets The Record Straight

Houston says he had no romantic feelings or interactions with Miya before she was 18. “No conversation and no, really, connection,” he said on Uncensored. “Me and my wife’s situation is a little different.” Houston stated he and Miya met through “mutual friends.” It’s rumored that one of those friends was Chris Stokes, the controversial music executive who has faced assault allegations from B2K’s Raz-B. Marques admitted that Miya was 17 when they met but said their situation was unique.

“People don’t understand it. And, of course, I got a lot of backlash for marrying someone that was 19,” said the singer. “And, you know, when we did finally start to talk, I was like, ‘This woman is like me.’” He explained what made his relationship with Miya differ than women his age. “For one, we had a spiritual connection, and I feel like that’s the most important thing.” Both Houston and Miya are Jehovah’s Witnesses.

“And being able to start being around her,” he further said, “we connected through music and her spirit, her kindness, her heart. Reminds me a lot of my mom, and we connected on so many different levels.” This has only caused the pushback to intensify from the public.
