October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bricc Baby says he was “sick” when he found out it was his “little bro,” Eric Holder, who killed Nipsey Hussle back in 2019. He detailed his initial reaction to the news that the legendary West Coast rapper had been killed during a recent sit-down with VladTV.

As Vlad described the murder of Nipsey, Bricc described it as “overkill.” As for his initial reaction, Bricc explained that he was in jail at the time and didn’t believe what he was hearing. Once he realized the story seemed to be true, he says he ran to the phone for confirmation. His friend on the other line hinted that it was somebody Bricc knew, but needed to find a way to tell him over the jail phone. Once he learned it was Holder, his mourning turned to stress. “I’m catching on, but my tears freeze up, they immediately stop because now I’m like this is bigger. I can’t even mourn this situation,” he said. “My head just went automatically to politics.”

He’s currently serving a 60-year prison sentence.

Tony Yayo Tells DJ Vlad Why 50 Cent Hates Him

September 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that 50 Cent has his fair share of foes in the entertainment industry. According to Tony Yayo, DJ Vlad is one of them. During a recent interview, Yayo shut the internet personality down after he asked a question about 50 Cent’s shooting. He also took the opportunity to reveal that questions like that are the reason Fif hates him.

“This is why 50 hates your a**,” Yayo said, leaving DJ Vlad in a state of disbelief. “Yeah, you talk about him too much.” The G-Unit rapper went on to clarify, explaining that he doesn’t want all of his interview questions to revolve around 50 Cent. While he emphasized the fact that they’re close friends, he also stressed that he has plenty of his own accomplishments to discuss.

Tony Yayo Says DJ Vlad Talks About 50 Cent Too Much

“I don’t want to talk about Fif cuz I don’t want to make it seem like all my views is about Fif. Fif is my man, so sometimes when a n***a do so much favors for you, you always remember the time when he said yes never when he said no,” he described. “He don’t hate you, but I know sometimes he just don’t want to be brought up.”

Yayo also added that 50 Cent doesn’t hesitate to respond to those who talk about him online. This is accurate, as evidenced by his recent spat with Hurricane Chris. The Shreveport performer called Fif out for spending $500K on security for Humor & Harmony Weekend. He also took issue with the lineup, which he thought could have featured more local acts. Fif shadily fired back with a clip of Hurricane Chris pointing out that Louisiana has the “fourth worst edunacational system in America.” What do you think of Tony Yayo telling DJ Vlad that 50 Cent hates him?

DJ Akademiks Says He’s “100% Sure” Young Thug Will Be Found Guilty

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, republican Fulton County D.A. candidate Courtney Kramer took to Twitter/X to announce that she’d free Young Thug if she got elected. The rapper has been locked up for over two years on RICO charges and is currently in the middle of a high-profile trial. While her promise certainly got a lot of attention online, many don’t believe she stands a chance against current D.A. Fani Willis.

This includes DJ Akademiks, who weighed in during a recent interview with VladTV. According to him, most voters think that Willis is doing a good job of reducing local crime rates, and want to see her reelected. Moreover, he believes that Young Thug will ultimately be found guilty.

DJ Akademiks Discusses Young Thug’s Ongoing RICO Trial

“As far as the trial, sh*t show,” he explained. “What’s most likely gonna happen, I 100% do believe that he’s gonna be found guilty. They’re throwing everything and the kitchen sink… So much taxpayer money has gone into it, they don’t want to do a mistrial at this point. I think it’s gonna be guilty but I think it’s gonna be overturned on appeal, and I think once it’s overturned on appeal, absolutely not they will not try it again.”

While it remains to be seen whether or not Ak is correct, most can agree with his “sh*t show” remark. Now that Lil Woody is off the stand, the trial has been making fewer headlines than usual, but some moments have stood out. Recently, for example, Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel said in court that he sees himself as a civil rights leader. What do you think of DJ Akademiks theorizing that Young Thug will be found guilty in his RICO case? Do you agree with him or not? What about his comments about Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis?

Yungeen Ace Is “Elated” Over Foolio’s Death, DJ Akademiks Theorizes

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In June of this year, Jacksonville rapper Foolio passed away at the age of 26. Reportedly, he was shot multiple times in the parking lot of a Tampa hotel where he was celebrating his birthday. The tragic loss continues to have the hip-hop community in mourning, but according to DJ Akademiks, not everyone is upset by it.

During a recent interview with VladTV, Ak explained why he believes Foolio’s longtime enemy Yungeen Ace is actually happy about his death. “I think he kept a poker face on when I asked him how’s he feel about the passing of Foolio, he’s like ‘Nah, it’s f*cked up.’ But is that really his demeanor? He’s probably elated,” he said.

DJ Akademiks On Foolio’s Murder

“Think about it,” Ak continued. “He passed away in a car like he heard his brother take his last breath… Foolio made that into a hit song laughing about it.” DJ Akademiks is far from the only one with this theory, however. Just hours after Foolio’s death was confirmed, Yungeen Ace dropped what many believe to be a diss track called “Do It.” Shortly after this, an anonymous man went viral on social media for claiming to have pulled the trigger. In a clip that made its rounds online, he alleged that he shot Foolio because Yungeen Ace put $10K on his head.

“I be in Jacksonville heavy,” the man said. “If you know, you know. I handled that because Ace had that money on his head, Ace had them put that $10K up. Told me to slide, told me to smack Foolio because he got tired of that n***a running his mouth, playing all the time, you feel me?” What do you think of DJ Akademiks speculating that Yungeen Ace is happy about the murder of Foolio? Do you agree with him or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tony Yayo Thanks Drake For Landing Him Spencer’s T-Shirt Deal

September 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, Drake hopped on Instagram to share a photo of himself rocking a “Free Yayo” t-shirt. The shirt was first worn by Eminem at the 2003 Grammys when Yayo was behind bars for bail jumping. It appears that Drake wore the shirt as a nod to Yayo’s comments about his viral feud with Kendrick Lamar on VladTV. At the time, Yayo claimed that he didn’t think the battle was over.

“I think the battle is not over,” he told DJ Vlad. “Drake is Drake, Kendrick is Kendrick. They’re both two of the biggest artists in the world. … We can say what we wanna say, all Drake gotta do is… Every time we count Drake out he comes back with a f*cking hit, that’s all I’m saying. All he gotta do is come back with No. 1 record. The kids are gonna be dancing just like they are to ‘Not Like Us.’“

Now, during another VladTV interview, Yayo has revealed that Drake’s decision to wear the t-shirt paid off for him.

Yayo went on, also noting how this is one of the perks of refusing to pick a side amid Drake and Kendrick’s beef.

Fortunately for both of us, I’m heterosexual,” he wrote, also urging him to “come out of the closet” and participate in gay porn.

Wayans replied, telling Vlad to leave him alone and sharing a link to a YouTube video called “Why Black Celebrities Will Never RESPECT Vlad TV.” He also Tweeted that Vlad is “waaaaaay too HATED by the URBAN COMMUNITY to F* with” him, and claimed that he’s “loved” while Vlad isn’t.

Suge Knight Could Have Prevented 2Pac’s Death, Wack 100 Theorizes

August 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

2Pac’s death continues to be one of the most tragic and talked about moments in hip-hop history. The icon passed away in 1996, a few days after falling victim to a drive-by shooting in Vegas. Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man accused of orchestrating the attack, was taken into police custody last year. He’s been behind bars ever since, awaiting a murder trial.

Amid all of this, one person who’s been particularly vocal about the case is Wack 100. The personality tried to bail Keefe D out last month and was not successful, and has even teased the idea of making a documentary about the alleged perpetrator. Now, Wack has shared his theory on 2Pac’s death, speculating that Suge Knight might have been partially responsible.

Wack 100 Thinks Suge Knight Was “Worried About The Wrong Thing”

During a recent interview with VladTV, Wack 100 claimed that Knight failed to protect 2Pac, despite knowing that he was at risk. He says that the artist’s passing could have been prevented had Knight taken proper security measures. Wack also added that if one of his own artists like Blueface were in a similar situation, he would have made their safety his top priority. “As the one that was supposed to have been leading that, he should have made the right decision,” he explained. “Instead, everybody’s partying and bullsh*tting, and it happened the way it happened […] Suge was too worried about the wrong thing.”

Wack went on, detailing some questionable situations he’s found himself in previously. He also recalled having to make quick choices to ensure the safety of the people he was around. What do you think of Wack 100’s theory about 2Pac’s tragic death? Do you agree that if Suge Knight had made different decisions, it could have been avoided?

Boosie Badazz Declares Kendrick Lamar The Winner Of Drake Beef

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz says that Kendrick Lamar is the definitive winner of the feud with Drake thus far, but isn’t counting the Toronto rapper out going forward. Speaking with VladTV, Boosie began by describing the music video for “Not Like Us” as “hard.” When Vlad asked whether any debate can be made that Drake has won thus far, Boosie remarked that there’s “no doubt” Lamar is ahead.

“There ain’t no doubt. They still running,” Boosie began. “When you run a race and one just stop, one still running. You still running. You stretching it to win the race. When you stop going, that’s with anything, what you gonna do? You gonna lose the race.” Despite thinking Kendrick is the clear winner thus far, Boosie doesn’t think Drake is fully out of the race. “Not even close,” he remarked.

Another argued: “Drake lost cuz he was out rapped & defeated, not cuz he stopped making songs.” Check out Boosie’s full comments on the feud with Vlad below.

Boosie Badazz Demands Yung Bleu To Pay Up Amid Contract Dispute

July 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz and Yung Bleu have been going back and forth over a financial dispute for quite a while now, and evidently, Boosie has no plans of letting up. During a recent interview with VladTV, the Louisiana-born rapper called out Yung Bleu for the performance of his new album Jeremy, mocking him for seemingly taking a financial loss. Despite his jokes, however, Boosie says he’s not actually hoping Yung Bleu fails.

Instead, Boosie claims he’s simply looking to receive the money he feels he’s due. He thinks Yung Bleu’s fans feel the same way he does too, and that the performer’s album sales reflect that. “I just think a lot of Yung Bleu fans want him to just do the right thing and pay up,” he explained. “The facts are on the table, bro.”

Boosie Badazz Wants His Money

He continued, putting Yung Bleu on blast for allegedly forging his signature and then claiming they couldn’t find him. “I don’t get off on his project not doing well because the better he do, the better I do… I ain’t praying on his downfall.” Boosie also added that his fans would be likely to support Yung Bleu if he were to make things right, which would surely give him a boost. Unfortunately, however, Boosie’s dispute with Yung Bleu is far from his only concern at the moment.

Yesterday, he took to X to reveal that he’s been indicted once again on a gun charge that a judge previously dismissed. He also claimed that he’s been hit with a new drug-related charge. Boosie accused the federal prosecutor of racism, claiming that if he weren’t a popular rapper he wouldn’t be in this position. What do you think of Boosie Badazz continuing to demand the money he thinks Yung Bleu owes him? What about him claiming he doesn’t actually want to see the performer fail?

Boosie Badazz Apologizes For Dragging Yung Bleu’s Mentally Disabled Son

July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz and Yung Bleu have been wrapped up in a heated feud for years now, and unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to show any signs of slowing down. During an interview with VladTV last month, for example, the Louisiana-born rapper clowned Yung Bleu for how his album Jeremy performed. He joked that Yung Bleu only made a couple hundred bucks off his Boosie and DJ Vlad diss track “Reading The Room,” despite seemingly investing a lot more into the accompanying music video.

This prompted a response from Yung Bleu, who claimed that he earns more than Boosie, made fun of the apartments on his property, and more. Boosie was quick to fire back, though his comments certainly managed to raise eyebrows. Aside from continuing to accuse Yung Bleu of stealing his money, and dragging his music, he also went after the rapper’s mentally disabled son.

Boosie Badazz Claims Yung Bleu Dissed His Kids First

“Maybe my kids can come over n help yo r**arded a*s son count to five,” Boosie wrote. “Go wipe all that damn slob up off your floor before y’all fall down n hurt yourself.” In another recent chat with Vlad, Boosie revealed that he received a great deal of backlash for this from his fans, who found his remarks insensitive. He apologized to everyone he offended, arguing that he only dissed Yung Bleu’s child because he dissed his kids first.

“When a motherf*cker talk [about] my kids, everything’s off limits,” he explained. “If you talk about my kids i’mma talk about your kids.” Despite this, he says he understands how his comments were hurtful, and regrets offending fans. What do you think of Boosie Badazz apologizing for dissing Yung Bleu’s mentally disabled son? Do you agree that this was the right thing to do? What about him claiming he only did it because Yung Bleu dissed his kids first? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
