Boosie Badazz Admits He Doesn’t Want Yung Bleu Feud To Be Part Of His Legacy

December 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz and Yung Bleu have been wrapped up in a legal dispute for some time now. Unfortunately, according to the Louisiana rapper, it may not be coming to an end any time soon. During a recent interview with VladTV, Boosie opened up about the current state of things, admitting that the battle has been exhausting. “I know he tired, I know I’m tired,” he began. “I just want Bleu to tell the motherf*ckin’ man ‘Let’s get past this sh*t, man, give this motherf*cker some money. Give Boosie a** some money, man.’”

Boosie continued, revealing that while he’s ready to finally see their dispute come to a close, he’s unwilling to let Bleu’s alleged actions slide. Boosie accuses him of forging his name on a contract worth millions of dollars. He plans to continue fighting for what he believes he’s owed but says he’s not allowing the situation to consume him. “I have a legacy I’m trying to withhold and gonna withhold it,” he explained. “I don’t want that to be part of my legacy, fighting my artist Yung Bleu and my brother for money.”

Boosie Badazz On Not Letting Yung Bleu Feud Overcome Him

“And I hope they should feel the same way,” he continued. “I wouldn’t want that part of my legacy neither. But when you know the situation and how it was done and me not know, it shouldn’t be that hard as men for… And we’re dealing with people with multi-millions. You’ve got Empire on this suit, we’ve got all these people… It’s nothing to say ‘Aye man, give Boosie that money man I’ll give you ten songs.’”

This isn’t the first time Boosie has expressed how much he wants to end his legal battle with Yung Bleu, however. Back in April, he took to X to encourage Yung Bleu to finish things once and for all. “Can you holla at @empire n yall get together n pay me my money n get this over with,” he wrote. “They want us to keep having to go to court my n***a. They putting u deeper n the whole by paying for your attorney fees.”

Lil Woody Has One Question For Young Thug

December 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Woody says he’d have one question for Young Thug if he were to walk into the room during his recent interview with VladTV. The topic arose while Woody was discussing some of the life lessons he’s learned on the realities of gang life. At one point, Vlad poses the question as to what he’d say if Thug walked in at that very moment.

“I would ask him, ‘Did he build a relationship with God?’ When I heard him speak, I was like, Yeah.’ But, who knows? That’s his first time sitting in jail that long,” Woody said. When asked about whether Thug will violate the terms of his probation, Woody added: “He has a lot going for himself. But now, you’ve got the fans out here. You gotta please them to be able to sell.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Woody discussed his reaction to Thug’s plea deal. “I thanked God. I thanked God so much that day. Sh*t, I’ve been at peace ever since,” Woody said, adding that it was one of the best days of his life. “You gotta understand, after they let me off that stand, man, I had to block everything… I don’t care what people say or how they feel, but my conscious, I have one now. My conscious eats at me. When I heard what the D.A. was offering, 45 years do 25, I was like, ‘Wow.’ And then the plea that he took, it had me sweating like, ‘What in the world type of plea was that?’” He concluded: “I didn’t wanna see nothing bad happened to him.” He went on to describe Thug as a “pretty great guy.”

Thug accepted his plea deal in the case back in October, immediately getting out of jail with time served. However, he will be spending the next 15 years on probation. Check out Lil Woody’s full comments on VladTV below.

Lil Woody Explains Admitting To Lies About Young Thug As A Hostile Witness In The YSL RICO Trial

December 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Woody has reflected on his role in the YSL RICO trial, speaking about the case with VladTV for an interview published over the weekend. The conversation began with Vlad bringing up the recusals of Judge Ural Glanville and Judge Sakura Ingram, noting that he feels the verdict may be different if either of them stayed on. Woody declined to comment on that aspect of the trial. “If the first judge stayed on that case– I’ma shut up,” he remarked.

From there, the two discussed Woody becoming a hostile witness during the trial, with Vlad mentioning that he snitched on fake people. Woody replied: “When you use the word snitch, a snitch would be like, ‘Hey, Vlad flew me to New York to commit this act. And this is what actually took place,’ with all the details and the facts. But, when you sitting right here protecting yourself from whatever things they’re trying to put on you– if you go look at my past, every time I went to jail, I went to jail for them throwing charges on me. So, when they question me, I know they’re trying to get me. So what am I gonna do? I’m gonna protect me. I’m not expecting these people to actually take my word because even when they asked my name, I ain’t commit no crime, I’m driving a car, ‘What’s your name?’ I give ’em somebody else’s name. Y’all know I’m a liar.”

Woody appeared on the stand as a witness during several hearings in the YSL RICO trial. At one point, he made headlines for admitting to having lied about Young Thug to authorities in the past. “The police kept locking me up for whatever they could,” he said at the time. “Every time I counted the door, the police was on me, and they keep bringing up Thug’s name. So what I did was to get ’em out off me, I said, ‘Thug did this. Thug did that. Thug,’ because I knew they were—I knew he didn’t do it.”

Lil Woody Reflects On YSL RICO Trial

Thug ended up taking a plea deal in the case back in October. He’ll spend the next 15 years on probation, but successfully avoided further prison time. Check out Lil Woody’s full comments on Young Thug with VladTV below.

Lil Woody Reveals Why He Thinks YFN Lucci’s Jail Stabbing Was “Lame”

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In March of 2022, YFN Lucci was reportedly stabbed at Fulton County Jail by an alleged YSL member, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Footage from the stabbing was played during the YSL RICO trial, more specifically during the testimony of Fulton County Jail’s former head of security, Aaron Wolford. Prosecutors used this footage to try to prove that YSL members allegedly carried out criminal acts on the collective’s behalf, per legal reporter Meghann Cuniff.

During a recent interview with VladTV, Lil Woody shared his take on the debacle and reflected on his own experience getting attacked behind bars. “It was lame,” he said of Lucci’s stabbing. “People be putting themself in sh*t that don’t have nothing to do with them … I have got stabbed, in state prison.” Woody continued, describing why he believes he was targeted by another inmate. “I got stabbed because n****s, they was used to seeing a quiet, humble side of me so they thought I was scared. You know, they tried to trick me, man. For real for real, that’s what opened my eyes,” he said.

He went on to detail the frightening ordeal, revealing that he was confronted by two inmates, one wielding a knife. Woody tried to defend himself, and ultimately, sustained one stab wound on his arm before fleeing. He then spent the rest of his sentence in solitary confinement. Woody’s latest claims come just a few weeks after Young Thug was released from prison after over two years. Following the long-awaited release, Woody appeared on The Danza Project podcast to share how he was feeling.

“I don’t have no fear. They not a threat to me, and I’m not a threat to them,” he said at the time. “I don’t wanna see nobody in jail. Like I said… I went through a dark phase in my life where I let the demons get the best of me.”

Wack 100 Alleges Drake Kissing Teenage Fan Led To Kendrick Lamar’s Predator Accusations

December 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in November, Drake decided to take legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify over Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track, “Not Like Us.” In a pre-action petition, he accused the two companies of artificially boosting the song using bots and payola. He also alleged that UMG could have prevented its release. Unsurprisingly, this earned mixed reactions among fans and peers. Some think there’s a chance he could expose alleged corruption in the music industry. Others think it simply makes him look jealous of the Compton rapper’s success.

During a recent interview with VladTV, Wack 100 shared his take on the debacle, making it clear that he’s not siding with Drake. “The slander thing I don’t understand, because like the things you said about Kendrick was a direct shot at his wife, a direct shot at his child, and you had no physical video or audio proof of anything you were saying,” he claimed. “And a direct shot at his manager who is also his best friend.”

Wack 100 Discusses Drake’s UMG Petition

“So you’re lying on a man, you’re disrespecting a woman, and you’re attacking a child,” he continued. “Now, from what Kendrick said, respectfully, he has audio and video. Was pedophilia happening onstage, no. But you can see and hear what’s being said and the questions that’s being asked. You can hear the young lady state her age.” Wack is referring to footage of Drake kissing a 17-year-old fan onstage during a 2010 performance. The footage resurfaced shortly after Kendrick dropped “Not Like Us.”

In the footage, Drake is heard asking the fan her age and making suggestive comments about her body before kissing her. For obvious reasons, this behavior has since been called into question, sparking a debate about whether or not it was appropriate. The performance took place in Denver, Colorado, where the legal age of consent is 17.

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.”

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? Are you surprised by this or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

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.
