The Game Says 50 Cent Is “Not A Happy Guy” While Discussing Lloyd Banks

December 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Game has responded to rumors that 50 Cent’s rift with Lloyd Banks was the result of him taking a photograph with Game back in 2016. Speaking with VladTV, Game remarked that 50 can’t be a “happy guy” at this point.

“I think we getting to a point where you’re going to have to assume 50’s not a happy guy,” he told Vlad. “I don’t think [Banks] meant to shit on 50 by taking a picture; I think he just saw a n***a that he came up with and created music with and created a bond with, and it was nothing but a snap of a picture.” He added: “We took a picture, I mean, y’know, he got his panties in a bunch about it, but again, 50 gon’ be mad about something anyway, so I didn’t give a fuck and I doubt that Banks did.”

Game was famously linked to G-Unit early in his career but had a falling out of his own with 50. Despite their longstanding beef, he looks back fondly on the time this many years later. He told Vlad: “And G-Unit was dope and 50 was dope and that experience was dope but I just don’t feel like I ever really fit or that it was just me because I’m not the solider type. I felt like I was my own boss and I’m a king in my own right, and so I needed to stand on my own two.”

December 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Game recently reflected on his six-month stint in prison in 2007 for allegedly threatening a man with a gun. He detailed his time behind bars during an interview with VladTV. He says he spent most of his time “reading and reflecting” but didn’t learn his lesson.

As for how his level of fame impacted the experience, he explained: “10 times worse because by default, you go into solitary confinement because they don’t want any lawsuits from your family members if something happens to you and that’s what made it the longest time on earth.”

He continued: “I was in a cell basically 24 hours a day except the hour that you get out for either a phone call or shower. You have to choose. You don’t get both. So, you either taking a shower or making a phone call. Me, my cleanliness is next to godliness, so it wasn’t a lot of phone calls. I spent a lot of time reading and just reflecting on sh*t. It’s always funny because when you in jail, you always reflecting and reading and becoming more knowledgeable. Then when you get out, sh*t, you just go back to whatever the f*ck you was doing like you weren’t ever in jail.” He concluded by noting that, when he got out, he “still didn’t learn [his] lesson.” Check out his full comments with DJ Vlad below.

Boosie Badazz Shares Hot Take On Cassie’s Diddy Lawsuit

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz weighed in on Cassie’s recent sexual abuse lawsuit against Diddy during an interview with VladTV. In doing so, he explained that he feels the singer was either “traumatized” or “loved every minute of it.”

“Either she was traumatized by what she been through. Either she was traumatized and she was sick and hurt, or she loved every minute of it,” he said. “It’s either, or. No, it ain’t both. It’s either, or because if you said he done what all he allegedly did, then you traumatized in one way. But it also can be a way– I know women who– I had a woman tell me, ‘I want you to come look for me and grab me out the club.’ I’m saying that to say she could’ve loved every minute of it.”

Cassie filed her lawsuit against Diddy back in November, accusing him of various allegations including rape. The two reached a settlement just a day later. However, in the following weeks, several more alleged victims came forward with stories of abuse from Diddy. The Bad Boy mogul finally spoke out, earlier this month. “Enough is enough,” Diddy wrote on Instagram. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”

The Game Recalls Importance Of 50 Cent Collaboration, “Hate It Or Love It”

December 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Game says that “Hate It or Love It” was “the record that literally put me where I needed to be.” Reflecting on the making of the 50 Cent-assisted song during an interview with VladTV, The Game recalled the moment he knew it was a hit.

“When I did ‘Hate It or Love It,’ I did it in Connecticut at Tyson’s old mansion that 50 had bought from him and occupied at that point,” Game began. “When I first heard the beat from ‘Hate It or Love It,” Cool & Dre did the beat, and as soon as I heard the beat, my friendship, my brotherhood with Cool & Dre was forged for life because I knew as soon as I heard that beat where I was going after that. I already had success with ‘Westside Story’ as my street single. ‘How We Do’ was already climbing the Billboard charts, the album was already number one, so I knew for a fact. You know how people put out their first album and then they’re scared of the sophomore jinx? Once ‘Hate It or Love It’ dropped, I knew that I was cemented and I wasn’t going nowhere.”

Game also discussed his relationship with 50 Cent and how the rift between them came to be. He explained that, after reaching the top of the Billboard 200 chart, the level of success got to his head. In turn, he got a little too “cocky” at that point in his career.

December 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Vanilla Ice says 2Pac once labeled him “one of the great ones” and that he knows “too much” about his killing. Speaking with VladTV for a new interview, the “Ice Ice Baby” rapper reflected on his friendship with 2Pac.

“He goes, ‘I want you to know, you’re one of the great ones, you’re dope, you’re going to leave your mark, your legacy,’ and this is before it happened,” Ice said. “He knew it, this guy had a crystal ball he saw things bro, and it makes me get goosebumps.”

From there, Ice discussed other shootings that 2Pac was involved in prior to the fatal Las Vegas drive-by in 1996. “How can a guy have all these bullets flying at him and still, you know what I’m saying? It’s a cr*zy story, and I got to really watch what I say on all this because I do know too much,” Ice said. “I’m not going to elaborate fair enough, so I let that unfold, and I’m glad it’s unfolding, and I’m glad that some justice may be getting done, but it ain’t going to bring him back, bro, and we lost a great person because of greed, money, power. We lost a great poet.” Check out Vanilla Ice’s full comments on 2Pac below.

The Game Reveals Why He Didn’t Sign To Death Row, Recalls Time With Suge Knight

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview with VladTV, The Game opened up about the time he spent with Suge Knight. He says he hung around him and other artists like Eastwood and Crooked I for a couple of months, but ultimately decided not to sign to Death Row. According to him, he simply concluded that the label just wasn’t the right fit.

He cited the competitive nature of West Coast hip hop, adding that he felt as though he “belonged on records.” Eventually, he got connected with Diddy who “pushed him over” to Dr. Dre. The Game also agreed that at that point, the label was only a “shell” of what it once was. 2Pac had already passed away and Snoop Dogg and other notable artists had moved on.

Diddy Speaks On Suge Knight, Death Row Records

He later spoke about meeting people like Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes. According to him, it was like being a “kid in an amusement park.” The Game also reflected on meeting Dr. Dre, calling it nothing short of “life-changing.” He went on to give Dr. Dre his flowers for the impact he’s had on West Coast hip-hop and his career. He wasn’t always so appreciative of Dr. Dre, however. During a precious appearance on Drink Champs, he claimed that Kanye West did more for him in two weeks than Dr. Dre ever did, though he later backpedaled.

“Having Dre do anything for your project, anything in your career, touch any part of anything you’re doing in life is such a blessing that I shall not ever s**t on that again,” he explained. “I should have actually gave him more grace for what he did do and that was actually mentoring me and doing things that nobody could have done for me in my career.” What do you think of The Game’s explanation for deciding not to sign to Death Row?

Vanilla Ice Claims Pablo Escobar Was “Great,” Recalls Hanging Out “Constantly”

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview with VladTV, Vanilla Ice reflected on the time he spent with Pablo Escobar. Surprisingly, he wasn’t aware of what the Colombian drug lord did for a living, assuming that he was simply a businessman. According to Vanilla Ice, he had some good times with Escobar and his crew, calling him nothing short of a “great” guy in person.

“I hung out with Pablo Escobar many, many times,” he began. “And Juan Almeida, Pepe Nunez, Ralph [‘Cabeza’ Linero] and everybody from Cocaine Cowboys. We were all friends.” He went on, describing how Escobar and his friends would make frequent visits to his home. “They would land helicopters in my house constantly on Star Island, come into my house, I had food just for them in the refrigerators,” he explained.

Vanilla Ice & Pablo Escobar Were Friends

“They would take me in the helicopter and we would go to all these great events, race boats and look at all the cool stuff that they were making,” he continued. “I never [asked] questions, we didn’t have Google, I don’t know who these people are. I thought they were businessmen. They liked to race boats like I did.” Vanilla Ice says that overall, Escobar was a joy to be around, despite what one might expect. “Pablo was a great person in person,” he explained. “This sounds ridiculous! First of all, I had no Google. You don’t go up to people and go, ‘What do you do for a living?’”

“I have no idea, bro. The guy’s loaded, he has a [Ferrari] Testarossa, I had a Porsche that’s smoking. We raced. I raced Pablo Escobar. I smoked him. We would go out and race boats. We were always on boats. They was always a bunch of bikinis floating around everywhere,” he added. What do you think of Vanilla Ice’s account of hanging out with Pablo Escobar? Are your surprised that they were friends? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Boosie Badazz Calls Daughter Tori’s Mom “Evil” Amid Harassment Charges

November 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview with VladTV, Boosie Badazz opened up about his ongoing drama with the mother of his daughter Tori. He and Tori had a heated and public dispute over the summer after she accused him of taking back the car he had gifted her after she reportedly drove it to Atlanta to care for her mom. Boosie went on to drop a diss track, firing off shots at both Tori and her mother, which followed her referring to him as a “deadbeat.”

He didn’t hold back on the track, calling his daughter “ungrateful,” calling Tori’s mom an “Ol’ dirty-a** b*tch,” and more. Tori later took to social media to respond, claiming that her father has never been there for her “mentally.” He then clapped back, claiming to have raised her right, while admitting to having threatened to give her a black eye “3 or 4 times.”

Boosie On His Harassment Charges

Unfortunately, things only escalated from there, when Tori’s mother allegedly leaked his phone number online and threatened to leak his address. His response was passionate, prompting her to send it to the police. She filed harassment charges against the Louisiana native, resulting in him getting a warning from the Houston PD. If he contacts Tori’s mother again, he could face additional charges, effectively shutting down any chance he has to talk to his daughter.

Boosie told DJ Vlad that they’ve yet to make amends and that things remain as they were in terms of their beef. He explained that in response to her threats to leak his address, he threatened to leak hers, as well as the addresses of her family members and kids’ schools. He said that while he still claims Tori as his daughter, he’s living without her in his life in any way. “She evil, bro,” he added of Tori’s mother. What do you think of Boosie Badazz’s take on the mother of his kids? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Boosie Badazz Explains Why He Passed On $250k Payday To Perform At LGBTQ Event

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz is no stranger to discussing money. During a recent appearance on an episode of The Breakfast Club, it came up multiple times. Most notably, he revealed that he gets paid $500k a year for his repeated appearances on VladTV. That surprised even the hosts of the show who gave him the chance to clarify if that number was accurate and he doubled down.

He’s also recently made headlines for attempts to get artists interpolating his music to pay up. In the past few days, he’s taken to social media to call out Rod Wave, Kodak Black, and YG directly for sampling or interpolating his songs without asking permission. Boosie insists that it’s all business but his callouts have sparked some beef. In particular, it rubbed Rod Wave the wrong way. He took to Twitter to flex his commercial success and tell Boosie to stay in his lane. Now Boosie is making yet another revelation about his money, clarifying a rumor about a reported payday that he turned down.

Boosie Badazz Talks Turning Down $250k

Fittingly, in a new episode of his VladTV interview series, Boosie told the story of turning down a $250k payday. He explained that he normally only asks for $90-100k for performances but an LGBTQ event reached out to him with more than double that. But he saw the offer as a joke at his expense. In the clip, he explains that he didn’t want to be the butt of the joke and he wasn’t willing to “sell his soul” for money.

But it hasn’t been all beef for Boosie recently. He got a shoutout of sorts online when one of the breakout rap stars of 2023, Sexyy Red, called herself the modern-day Boosie. Some fans took issue with the comparison. But Boosie himself appreciated the gesture and felt like Red was giving him his flowers. What do you think of Boosie Badazz turning down more than double his usual payday to perform at an LGBTQ event? Let us know in the comment section below.
