Rihanna Shouts Out RXKNephew In New TikTok

by

If you haven’t heard of RXKNephew yet, we implore you to go put on a song from one of his four (four!) projects he’s dropped in 2023 while you read this article. Of course, he’s an incredibly prolific artist, but the 29-year-old Rochester native boasts much more than a seemingly endless body of work. Neph is a bizarre storyteller, a hilarious presence lyrically and delivery-wise, master of off-beat and ramble flows, and is able to broach harsh topics of paranoia, violence, hardship, and identity through some of the nuttiest, most vivid, and most tough-as-nails verses and beats you’ll hear. All that said, that fact that Rihanna might have introduced you to him is an insane possibility, yet that’s exactly what she did with her latest TikTok.

Moreover, RiRi’s latest contribution on the social media platform is a simple POV clip of her walking. But there’s one big factor that steals the show- well, two, if you count the huge diamond ring on one of her toes. Still, diamond flexes are nothing new for the “Diamonds” singer. The TikTok’s audio is RXKNephew’s track “I Love My Girlfriend.” On that track, he takes joy in the fact that his girlfriend is apparently just as wild as he is. “My girlfriend like robbin’ n***as,” he raps in various voices over a jittery trap beat.

Rihanna Cosigns RXKNephew With Latest TikTok

With Rihanna’s new album still nowhere to be seen, a collab with RXKNephew (however unlikely) would be an absolute ankle breaker, and we won’t give up on the possibility until it lands. In addition, this opens up a whole lot of questions on whether they’ve met, how she came across the song, or how she found his work in general. After all, A$AP Rocky is from New York, as well, and he’s surely still in tune with much of the underground scene. In any case, if the work of Neph and similar artists like Zelooperz, frequent collaborator Rx Papi, and other is unknown to you, let this TikTok be a sign that there’s some homework on your desk.

Meanwhile, the Barbadian singer also showed love to the New York hip-hop of the past as of late. Well, the Wu-Tang Clan is so influential and beloved that it’s pretty much always hip-hop of the present. The couple named their son RZA after the legendary producer and continued a tradition in Rocky’s family of honoring rap pioneers.

Saucy Santana Tells NLE Choppa To Take Thirst Traps “To OF”

by

We’ve heard a lot from NLE Choppa in recent weeks. Despite his ex being over five months pregnant and accusing him of negligence, Choppa has been chasing plenty of women. He has had run-ins with Ice Spice and Meagan Good before seemingly linking up with Jela. He also made a fan pass out while serenading them.

Well, now NLE Choppa is posting Instagram thirst traps. The young rapper appeared in nothing but a towel and a hair cap in a recent set of photos on Instagram. While there was definitely some thirsting in the comments, many people expressed shock, outrage, and even disgust. “WE ARE A MANLY FANBASE BRO,” wrote one commentator, with the comments receiving over 8000 likes. And a particularly notable response came from fellow rapper, Saucy Santana.

Saucy Santana Responds To Latest NLE Choppa Thirst Traps

After NLE Choppa dropped some towel pictures on Instagram, Saucy Santana was quick to respond. “NLE PLZ!!! OK!” Santana wrote in one comment before following up with “Take it to OF! I’m aggravated.” However, the internet appears to have taken these comments completely the wrong way. Numerous gossip outlets have reposted the images stating that the comments are evidence of Santana thirsting for Choppa. Instead, it’s quite the opposite. Furthermore, the whole speculation appears to be based entirely on a lack of reading comprehension and the fact that Santana is openly gay.

“Take it to OF” is not a call for Choppa to take off the towel, as many are interpreting it as. Instead, Santana is telling Choppa to take these kinds of photos to OnlyFans. Furthermore, “aggravated” is not a synonym for horny or aroused. According to Merriam-Webster. “aggravated” is defined as being “angry or displeased especially because of small problems or annoyances.” In fact, you could argue that aggravated is antonym-adjacent to aroused. So no, Sauacy Santana is not aroused by Choppa’s thirst traps. In fact, Santana would rather not see them at all. Do you think Choppa needs to lay off the public thirst traps? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest music and viral news here at HotNewHipHop.

TikTok Pickup Artist Posts Video Featuring Bianca Censori

by

Google lists the profession of “Gratefulboy Nue”, aka Nueskii, as “musical artist”. While it’s true that Nueskii does have a few songs out, that’s not what he’s primarily known for. A quick search leads you to a TikTok with 203,000 followers created in August 2022. Here, Nueskii posts videos of him attempting to pick up women. The account also links to a YouTube channel with 10,000 subscribers that also includes prank videos alongside the pickup artist content.

The pickup artist content creator is a relic of the 2010s, when men posting this genre of content were a dime a dozen. However, the trend found new life on TikTok. While Nueskii’s content is generic for the genre, albeit successful for the creator, one of his latest videos has gone viral due to the woman featured.

Bianca Censori Appears In Neuskii Video

@gratefulboynuee

Yea Married To Kanye 🤨 #fyp #omg #beauty #ye #foryou #rizz #famous #trending

♬ original sound – Nueskii

On May 19, Nueskii posted a video with the caption “Yea Married To Kanye 🤨.” The 26-second video, seemingly filmed in a mall, appears to feature Bianca Censori, the current wife of Ye. The video is fairly bland, with Neuskii opening with the killer pickup line, “Yeah you’re sexy yo” (men, take notes). The two talk about where they are from. Bianca says she’s from LA and Nueskii replies that he’s from Chicago. Bianca asks what Nueskii is doing, saying there is a “pair of shorts” she wants to look at. Nueskii replies “Yeah” disinterestedly as Bianca’s phone goes off before abruptly asking “Can I get your number?.” Bianca laughs politely and replies “I’m marrieeeed” just before the video ends.

As mentioned, the video is only notable because of who Nueskii has run into. However, people in the comments of the video are convinced that there is more to the video. They base this conclusion on how “friendly” Bianca comes across in the video. Firstly, some people are just naturally very friendly. Furthermore, the burden of personal public safety for women is incredibly high. Acting in a calm and friendly manner when a male stranger shoves a phone in your face and starts hitting on you is often a way in which women behave to ensure that the individual in question does not escalate the situation. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and sometimes a pickup artist harassing a famous person is just a pickup artist harassing a famous person.

Ukraine Used Busta Rhymes Lyrics To Troll Russia On Twitter Because This Is What War Looks Like Now

by

In a truly wild twist this week, it turns out that Ukraine’s social media manager for their Defense account is a huge Busta Rhymes fan. The new update gave people a breakdown of how they’re handling the Russians in their ongoing war — taking down three new tanks, twelve armored combat vehicles, thirteen artillery, and 520 more “eliminated personnel.”

“‘Woo-hah, got you all in check!’ -Busta Rhymes,” the post read. “Total combat losses of the enemy from February 24, 2022, to May 16, 2023.”

While the majority of those in the replies were others from Ukraine following the updates, some scattered fans tagged Busta to get his attention for the reference to his 1996 song, also called “Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check.” It was also the rapper’s debut solo single, which could possibly add to why the country chose that reference… Like, there’s more defense to come, or something?

Others pointed out that it was also interestingly timed. “Should have waited a few more days for @BustaRhymes birthday,” another user wrote.

Upon a deeper dive, the account usually accompanies their updates with some sort of pop culture quote. They’ve recently included everything from How I Met Your Mother‘s “Legendary” line to Babe Ruth. There’s even one of “Now I have a machine gun ho-ho-ho” from Die Hard.

Check out Ukraine’s Busta-themed post above.

Trump Is Feuding With The Village People Over A Tribute Band, As If He Doesn’t Have Enough Going On

As far as anyone can tell, Donald Trump listens to the same 20 songs over and over again, 10 of which are Broadway standards. Two of his favorite non-showtunes are “YMCA” and “Macho Man” by the Village People. It’s a one-sided relationship, as the kitschy group celebrated when he lost the 2020 election (“Thankfully he’s now out of office, so it would seem his abusive use of our music has finally ended”). But that didn’t stop Trump from hiring a Village Record tribute band to perform at Mar-a-Lago.

The best thing Trump ever did was make other tall gargoyles (like myself) look like smooth dancers by comparison. Anyway, the video went viral and caught the attention of the actual Village People, not the Florida imposters.

And according to TMZ, they’re not happy.

The wife of Victor Willis — lead singer of the Village People — fired off a legal warning to Trump, telling him to stop confusing people into believing they endorse him for president, which they claim Trump’s doing with his entertainment choices… The band says it’s not them in the video, but rather a bunch of impersonators dressed like them and they say they never gave Trump permission to use the group’s image and likeness at Mar-a-Lago.

In response, Trump’s more-like-macho-bland attorney, Joe Tacopina, told TMZ, “I will only deal with the attorney of the Village People, if they have one, not the wife of one of the members. But they should be thankful that President Trump allowed them to get their name back in the press. I haven’t heard their name in decades. Glad to hear they are still around.”

I, for one, would not enjoy if one of my favorite bands threatened legal action to prevent me from playing their music, but Trump’s different, I guess.

A Photo Of Bad Bunny Talking In Kendall Jenner’s Ear Has People Hilariously Resurrecting A Classic Meme

Kendall Jenner Bad Bunny Lakers 2023

The NBA Playoffs are going on right now, and since the Los Angeles Lakers are in the mix this year, celebrities have been flocking to Crypto.com Arena to watch LeBron James and company play. Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner turned up to their May 12 contest against the Golden State Warriors, and while there, they pair inadvertently became a meme.

An image of the two has been making the rounds since then, a TV screenshot that shows Bad Bunny talking into Jenner’s ear while she sports an expression of confusion or disinterest. People immediately picked up on the fact that the image bears a strong resemblance to the 2011 “Bro Explaining” meme and its derivatives, like the Milk Edinburgh club photo, “John Silver Explaining to Anna Jay,” and “Girl Explaining.” In all of them, the idea is that it’s a photo of two people, one seemingly giving a passionate explanation about something while the other appears uninterested.

So yes, memes were made.

Merriam-Webster (the folks behind the dictionary) had a good showing here, coming through with, “‘IRREGARDLESS’ HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1795. ITS INCLUSION IN THE DICTIONARY IS NOT A SIGN OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE FALLING TO PIECES, OR PROOF OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FAILING, NOR IS IT THE WORK OF CURSED MILLENNIALS. IT JUST MEANS A LOT OF PEOPLE USE IT TO MEAN ‘REGARDLESS.’

Check out some more examples below.

Lil Tecca Roasted Over Brandy & Monica Sample Use

by

Using a sample for your single is a risky move, as people will listen to that track and compare it to the original that it used as a reference. Even though many fans liked Lil Tecca’s latest single, “Need Me,” a lot of people blasted the sample used. Moreover, the Queens MC used a sample of Brandy and Monica’s iconic cut “The Boy Is Mine” for his single’s instrumental. Overall, the sample contributes to a pretty woozy and low-key cut with minimal drum patterns that are mostly carried by Tecca’s vocal delivery. Unfortunately for him, fans are tired of sample songs being so prevalent and “mid” in today’s hip-hop landscape.

Of course, sampling is nothing new in the genre, as much as people like to complain about their prolificacy. In fact, sampling is considered a foundation of hip-hop by most leading figures, fans, and other community members. However, there have been a lot of hit rap songs that use sampling as a way to boost their track’s profile or entice more listeners into tuning in. With all that being said, maybe fans didn’t need to harp on this song; it’s just be a “mid” track in your opinion at the end of the day, not a sign of disrespect to the sample.

Lil Tecca’s Brandy & Monica Sample Flip On “Need Me”

Regardless, the “Blessing” artist caught some criticism online for “Need Me” and particularly its sample flip. “They need to leave that sample Alone,” one impassioned fan wrote on Twitter. “Rodney Jerkins did something special with those sounds. With the violins and s**t no one has done it Justice since.” Others asked rappers to leave Brandy and Monica alone and brought up that people are reusing samples too much. “Didn’t Chinese Kitty just do this?? These samples getting out of hand,” another user tweeted.

At the end of the day, you’re entitled to whatever you think of “Need Me” and sampling these days. Still, it seems slightly odd to only dog on a song for its sample use. Other elements of the track might make you feel lukewarm on it, too. After all, a sample is only as good as its flip, and it needs a good song to justify it. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Tecca, come back to HNHH.

Chief Keef Fan Dumpster Dives To Sell His Used Double Cups On eBay

by

When it comes to hip-hop fanbases, few groups are as die-hard as Chief Keef’s. The Chicago rap pioneer’s influence is still omnipresent, and fans are always waiting for his next musical moves. However, others are more opportunistic and see dollar signs where the MC himself just sees some dirty cups. Moreover, a fan gathered a few of his used double styrofoam cups and put them up for sale on eBay. They must really “Love Sosa,” as many have joked, but the price is no laughing matter. The bid started at $425, and rose all the way to over $10K.

What’s more is that even a video was captured of the snatch, with the seller literally dumpster diving for TikTok (fortunately, there wasn’t a lot of trash in there). Interestingly, this is actually their second attempt at selling the cups on the platform, as eBay took the original listing down, which reached $15K bids. Presumably, the website did not appreciate the drug-related items appearing on their storefront. Still, the new listing states that they’re not related to substances at all. For those who saw the video of Chief Keef pulling up to a dumpster in his Scooby-Doo-themed Lamborghini, they can identify the cap.

Chief Keef Fan Goes The Extra Mile For His Double Cups

Regardless, this is just one of many examples of Sosa fans going hard for him in wild and bizarre contexts. For example, a recent video of a man getting arrested had a pretty funny Easter egg in there for Chief Keef fanatics. As policemen handcuffed him, he boasted about the fact that he had just gotten out of jail on bond, and will happily do it again. “‘But I’m bonding right out, I ain’t broke,’” he rapped during the incident, which are lyrics from his classic hit “Earned It.” “‘N***as ain’t getting no money, it ain’t a joke.’” On the other hand, even stars like Gervonta Davis give the “Racks Stuffed Inna Couch” MC his flowers.

Meanwhile, other more famous fans of the 27-year-old sometimes reach him, and other times fail to do so. Adin Ross recently tried to get him to play Minecraft with him to no avail. He’s more elusive than you’d think, hence why fans would dumpster dive for his belongings. For the latest news and updates on Chief Keef, come back to HNHH.
