Wack 100 Further Flares Up J Prince Feud By Popping Off On Willie D

by

Wack 100 usually finds himself in the middle of beefs everywhere he goes, and his fellow music executives are no exception. For those unaware, J Prince seemed to diss him during an Instagram Live talking about “social media gangsters.” “Ain’t a body out here with me other than me, you know what I mean? Because it’s love, respect and fear,” the Rap-A-Lot Records founder expressed. “[…] I don’t receive [fake personas], I don’t condone it, and I don’t even like the n***as that that support it. Because I over understand what’s going to come with that.” Wack took this personally.

“THIS BOZO @jprincerespect GOT MY NAME IN HIS MOUTH BUT BLOCKS ME FROM COMMENTING,” Wack 100 shared on social media regarding J Prince. “EVERYBODY ELSE CAN COMMENT BUT HE TOOK THE TIME TO BLOCK #WACK[100] FROM COMMENTS AND SAID MY NAME SO MANY TIMES THE CHAT IS ASKING HIM WHY HES SCREAMING MY NAME. I HAVE REAL ESTATE IN HIS MIND. ASK HIM WHY @jprincejr HAS A SEAL FILE ASK EM TO ADDRESS THAT N DA HOOD. WE BOTH KNOW YOU WERE NICE ASF WHEN I CAUGHT U 1 On 1.”

Wack 100 Blasts J Prince & Willie D

Now, Wack 100 took things even further by popping off on J Prince and on Geto Boys member Willie D during a recent live conversation on social media. He brought up his alleged scuffle with the former again and talked about their disagreements and differing movements. This is certainly far from Wack’s only fiery social media feud as of late, as we have another example from the hip-hop-adjacent world to talk about. He and YSL Woody are battling it out online, and it doesn’t look like things are going to get any cleaner for the two.

As for J Prince, he also has his own issues with Lil Woody, but it seems like Wack 100 is not down to find common ground with him. Hopefully, they can hash out their beef in private and not escalate things to an exaggerated degree. We all know how dangerous these feuds can be, especially when they have nothing to do with the craft that these individuals partake in.

24 geto boys we cant be stopped 1991 controversial rap album covers

On this date in Hip-Hop history, Houston legends the Geto Boys released their most popular album to date, We Can’t Be Stopped, on J. Prince’s Rap A Lot Records.

With Bushwick Bill’s self-inflicted gunshot wound to the eye on the album cover and their uber-popular “Mind Playin’ Tricks On Me” dominating airwaves, Bill, Willie D, and Face’s most revered album helped re-define the term “hotter than July”.

The 14 track classic was certified platinum less than a year after its release, making Geto Boys a household name and making room for Brad Jordan to drop his debut album, Mr. Scarface Is Back.

Rest In Peace to Bushwick Bill and NJ-born DJ Ready Red, who was an original member of the Geto Boys, who left the group during the reocrding of this album. Salute to Uncle Face and Willie D for giving us such a timeless piece of Hip Hop history!

How Has Hip-Hop Reacted To Diddy Assault Footage?

by

The Diddy-Cassie Ventura assault allegations took a new twist on Friday, May 17, 2024, after CNN released footage showing the rapper purportedly attacking his ex in a Los Angeles hotel. The video was from 2016 and was really disturbing as Diddy was seen in the footage punching and kicking Cassie. The video showed a raged Diddy while Cassie ran for safety. In November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of sexually and physically abusing her for years. One of the incidents she recounted in the lawsuit occurred at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016. In the suit, Cassie, who dated Diddy from 2007 to 2018, claimed he gave her a black eye after becoming drunk during one of his alleged wild sex parties.

Cassie further claimed that she tried to leave after Diddy was asleep, but he pursued her to the hotel’s hallway, where he punched and kicked her. The singer further claimed that Diddy paid the hotel $50,000 for the security video. Diddy and Cassie would later settle the lawsuit amicably. After the resolution, Diddy’s lawyer said the settlement didn’t mean an “admission of wrongdoing.” However, despite the earlier denial, the newly released footage seems to prove Cassie’s allegations. Since the video’s release, the hip-hop community has reacted angrily to Diddy’s actions. The rap mogul has also issued an apology. Get inside all the hip-hop community’s reactions to the disturbing video below.

50 Cent’s Reaction To The Diddy-Cassie Assault Footage

After the video of Diddy pummelling Cassie went viral, Diddy’s archnemesis, 50 Cent, reposted the video on Instagram. In the post’s caption, 50 Cent sarcastically wrote, “👀Now I’m sure puffy didn’t do it, he is innocent this proves nothing ! This is what his lawyers are gonna say, God help us all 🙏🏿.”

The G-Unit boss also appeared on X, quoting Diddy’s initial post about the allegations against him. In the post, Diddy claimed he didn’t do any of the awful things he was accused of and vowed to fight for his name, family, and the truth. However, after the footage was released, 50 Cent quoted Diddy’s post and wrote, “The lie detector test has determined this was a lie…. Maury vibes.”

Wack 100’s Reaction

Music executive Wack 100 aired his thoughts on the video of Diddy assaulting Cassie via an Instagram Live video. In the video, Wack 100 prayed for Diddy to get assaulted if he ever landed in jail. He said, “Diddy, I just seen that video. You’s a b***ch a*s n***a. And I hope, if whatever happens to you happens to you, I hope Big Freddy and Deebo Eddie strap your a*s down. And I hope nobody come help your a*s.” Wack 100 concluded, “It’s going down. You did this.”

Rah Digga Calls Diddy-Cassie Assault Video “Disturbing”

Like everyone else, rapper and actress Rah Digga found the Diddy and Cassie assault video upsetting. She took to X to express her displeasure, writing, “That Diddy footage is too disturbing.” Rah added, “Interesting that this is from 2016 and just coming out now. Did someone at the hotel JUST grow a conscience [sic]? Did the NDA expire? Was he late on the evidence suppression payment? So many questions…AND some of yall owe Cassie an apology.”

Safaree Recalls Past Trauma

Rapper Safaree reacted to the Diddy-Cassie assault video via X. In his first reactionary post, he wrote, “Speechless.” In another deleted post, Safaree said the assault video triggered a thought of a past experience. He wrote, “Damn I can’t unsee that video..definitely brings back childhood memories.” Although Safaree didn’t give details of the memories the video triggered, his fans will hope he speaks about them soon.

Plies Shares His Thoughts

Rapper Plies posted his thoughts about the incident on X. He queried men for trying to control young women with luxury and physical relationships and then abusing them. Plies wrote, “These N*ggaz Have All This Money Get These Young Chicks So They Can Control Them!! Then When The Money & Sex Ain’t Enough To Control Them. Then They Wanna Beat’em!!!!!”

Willie D Believes The Police Will Reopen Investigation Into Kim Porter’s Death

After the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie went viral, many people called for an investigation into the death of Diddy’s ex-partner Kim Porter. In a YouTube video, rapper and songwriter Willie D said Diddy’s behavior was unacceptable. Willie D also called out celebrities who were silent about the issue until the video emerged. He also said Diddy’s swiftness in settling the lawsuit with Cassie made him believe she had something huge against him. Concluding, he added, “I wouldn’t be surprised if they reopened the investigation into her (Kim Porter’s) death.”

Bobby Shmurda Criticizes Diddy

Rapper Bobby Shmurda went on Instagram and condemned Diddy for not controlling his emotions. The angered rapper said Diddy should have shown more restraint and avoided hitting Cassie no matter what led to the incident. In his post’s caption, Bobby wrote, “😂😂 nah yall Niccas is moving dusty this sh*t gotta stop ain’t no female worth yah freedom and ladies it should be no amount of money worth your respect 🫡 I seen one of my fav celebrities do some straight dayroom sh*t smh ( Prevention Before Cure ) #PBC young bulls These been day room a real one won’t ever you don’t see us in those positions smh leave the 🐱before you beat the 🐱#shmurdaphilosophy.”

Emanny Says Diddy Is A Disgusting Person

“Just A Phase” singer Emanny shared a post on X after the Diddy-Cassie assault video was released. In his post, he said there was enough evidence to show that Diddy did wrong and shouldn’t be defended. Emanny wrote, “We have video proof so ain’t nothing else to question. Sean ‘Puffy, P. Diddy, Puff, Diddy & Love’ Combs is a disgusting person and anyone willing to defend his actions should seek therapy right along with him.”

Slim Thug Takes The “L”

Before the Diddy-Cassie assault video’s release, Slim Thug was one of those who defended Diddy after Cassie made her allegations. However, after the video emerged, he apologized on social media. The rapper shared a screenshot of a news headline about the assault video and captioned it, “Damn Diddy 🤦🏾‍♂️ I tried to ride with the Blk man who had no charges yet but I can’t stand behind this 🤐 I’ll take this L. But I still will ride with my ppl until I see some sort of proof I don’t believe in blogs or civil suits. Apologies to Cassie and whoever else was on the right side this time 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.”

Diddy Apologizes After Assault Video’s Release

Following the assault video’s release on Friday, Diddy apologized for his wrongdoing. In a video he shared on Instagram, the 54-year-old said, “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that. I was f*****d up. I mean, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses.” Diddy also said he had no excuse for how he acted on the video. He took full responsibility for his actions and added, “I’m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now.”

Diddy concluded by profusely apologizing. He expressed his commitment to being a better man daily and said, “I’m not asking for forgiveness; I am truly sorry.” Following Diddy’s apology, Cassie’s lawyer, Meredith Firetog, responded via a statement. She added, “Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt. When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday.” Meredith concluded, “That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”

50 Cent Labels Diddy’s Apology A Bad Move

Like Cassie’s lawyer, Diddy’s long-term troll, 50 Cent, didn’t buy Diddy’s apology. 50 Cent reposted Diddy’s apology on his Instagram page and captioned the post, “👀This is not going to work, who is advising him right now? SMH bad move.” Afterward, 50 shared a screenshot of Cassie’s lawyer’s statement and added, “I understand how she feels seeing him apologize not addressing her after this video gets out. It makes it feel like he wasn’t thinking of how she felt having to see it. SMH where is his crisis management PR team? That was a bad move 😳.”

50 Cent isn’t the only person reacting negatively to Diddy’s apology. Many angered people took to social media to vent their anger and frustration toward the Bad Boy mogul. Most people said they didn’t accept the apology, causing the phrase “No Diddy” to trend on X. He is walking a tightrope at the moment, and it would take more than just an apology for him to undo his alleged past transgressions that continue to catch up with him.

Keith Murray Stands By Alleged Sexual Encounters With Foxy Brown & Shawnna

by

Back in January of 2023, Keith Murray chatted with The Art Of Dialogue about his past alleged sexual encounters with the likes of Foxy Brown and Shawnna. He went into graphic detail about the alleged encounters, which neither of the women appreciated. Foxy hopped on Instagram to accuse him of being on drugs, not holding back in the slightest. “Boy f*cked up adding my name to that fairytale [crying laughing emojis],” she wrote. “F*ck a dog first p*ssy [crying emojis].”

“Tha guy hat alone should’ve told yall that sh*t was no bueno,” she added in a subsequent post. “Now somebody yell dope fiend a** Keith Murray we wanna book him for a walk thru [laughing emojis]. (1500 and a bg of Jums).” Instead of backing off, however, Keith Murray recently doubled down. He sat down for an interview with Willie D earlier this week, insisting that everything he said was true. Moreover, he offered Foxy Brown a half-apology, claiming that while he’s sorry for offending her, but not sorry for what allegedly happened.

I know her like the back of my hand. She got nice ankles and nice feet and the p***y—I ate the p***y, yes. And Foxy Brown, she gave me—she’s the whip whop queen.”

Today in Hip-Hop History: Geto Boys Dropped Their Debut LP ‘Making Trouble’ 35 Years Ago

by
Screen Shot 2023 02 16 at 8.03.30 AM

On this day in Hip-Hop History, Texas OGs The Geto Boys released their debut LP Making Trouble 31 years ago. Although the start of the career of one of the most prolific southern rap groups to ever grace the mic, this project may have been their least heard and most unknown album.

Coming at a time in the group’s history where they were referred to as the more conventionally spelled “Ghetto Boys,” this album showcased the lyrical ability of a then four-member underground group. The group was composed of DJ Reddy Red of Trenton, NJ(RIP), Prince Johnny C, and the Slim Jukebox, with Bushwick Bill on the roster as a hypeman and a dancer. It wasn’t until after the release of this project that Rap-A-Lot Records dropped Reddy Red, Johnny C, and Slim Jukebox to add Scarface and Willie D.

On this project, the group used a style of rap and aesthetics that resembled the legends Run-DMC. The mimicry of the New York rap trio was deep. The group wore all black with top hats and thick gold chains, their music featured heavy rock influence with guitar riffs and high energy drum patterns, and their group dynamic of two emcees and a DJ is exactly what Run-DMC sported.

This album was not the most popular album from the Geto Boys camp, but it is an exciting piece of the group’s history. This project shows the growth and development it took for the group to become the legends that they are respected today.

Willie D Calls Scarface A “Selfish A** N***a” For Not Telling Him About Geto Boys Invite To Perform At Grammys

Screen Shot 2023 02 14 at 10.01.36 PM

Willie D created the “Geto Boys” podcast to include the group after gaining notoriety with his own, renowned “Willie D Live” podcast, which garnered hundreds of thousands of views since its launch in 2015. On the most recent episode of the Geto Boys podcast, Willie D confronted the group’s front man, Scarface, for not including him in the performance of “Mind Playing Tricks On Me” during the Grammys’ commemoration of Hi[ Hop’s 50th anniversary.

Willie D stated, “Slighted? I feel beyond slighted. Like what I’m tryna figure out is … First of all, I ask you Wednesday when we left here, I said, ‘What you got for the weekend?’ You said, ‘I’m finna go fuck with this Grammys thing.’ I said, ‘Alright man, safe travels.’ Because, you know, that’s how we do it. Saturday come, I’m online and an article comes across about the Grammys. And I see ‘Geto Boys and Scarface’ in the lineup.” 

Scarface replied Willie D, “I can stand on my own two feet with no Geto Boys,” and Willie agreed. Willie then stated, “Remember I’m the one who said, ‘Hey man, you oughta call yourself Scarface.’ So I ain’t gon’ never hate on you. Never. When I see you win, I see Geto Boys win because we are a group.”

Willie D Confronts Scarface About Being Excluded From Grammys Performance

by

Though the Grammys have a history of neglecting hip-hop, the culture received great representation on the stage this year. Questlove curated an exceptional performance that brought together the pioneers of hip-hop with the younger generation. Artists like Grandmaster Flash and Public Enemy were joined by acts such as Lil Baby and Lil Uzi Vert on stage for a 14-minute set the celebrated the history and evolution of hip-hop.

Scarface performed “Mind Playing Tricks On Me” but Willie D felt some way about it. He revealed that Questlove nor the Grammy invited him to perform. He also stated it was another attempt to minimize Geto Boys. “A reminder to the Grammys and all the rest of y’all out there trying to hustle the Geto Boys brand by only including Scarface, who had a stellar solo career,” he said. “If you forgot, the group includes Scarface and Willie D,” he added.

Willie D Confronts Scarface Over Geto Boys Grammys Performance  

Willie D explained to Scarface on The Geto Boys Reloaded podcast that he felt more than slighted by the Grammys this year. He said that he woke up that described the performance as Geto Boys and Scarface. Scarface stated that he doesn’t “need Geto Boys to be Scarface.” But, in regards to the billing, Scarface said that it’s the Grammys fault. “… I can stand on my own two feet with no Geto Boys,” he said.

Afterward, Willie D said that he agreed with Scarface’s take and even praised his solo career. “When I see you win, I see Geto Boys win because we are a group,” he explained. “A Scarface song is a Scarface song. That’s on Scarface’s catalog, not Geto Boys’ catalog.” However, Scarface took issue with Willie D attempting to put the blame on him rather than the Grammys. “And I think the reversal of trying to put that shit on me because you didn’t go there to the Grammys is fucked up,” he said. Scarface added that he wouldn’t feel any way if Willie D performed the song without him. By the end of the conversation, they both agreed that they’ve delivered live renditions of the song on their own in the past. Check the episode above.

Willie D and Scarface

Things got heated on the Geto Boys Reloaded podcast over Scarface hitting the Grammys stage and performing their famous 1991 hit without inviting Willie D. At this year’s Grammys there was a 50th celebration of hip-hop. Willie Calls Scarface “Selfish” Recently, Scarface and Willie D were in a heated argument. The disagreement was sparked when […]

Willie D Blasts Grammys For Including Scarface, But Not Geto Boys, In Hip-Hop Tribute

by

While it’s impossible to fit every hip-hop icon into one performance for its 50th anniversary, some omissions feel easily avoidable. Willie D just called out the Grammys for inviting Scarface to perform, but not the rest of the Geto Boys. Moreover, Scarface delivered his verse on the 1991 classic “Mind Playing Tricks On Me.” The fantastic homage at the 65th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday (February 5). Also, the near-14-minute show included many legends, from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five to Nelly and even Lil Baby. However, when Scarface delivered the medley’s first Southern staple, his fellow Geto Boy Willie D was nowhere to be seen.

Afterwards, Willie took to Instagram to express his frustrations. Moreover, he’s the only other living member of the Houston group, as Bushwick Bill passed away in June of 2019. “A reminder to the Grammys and all the rest of y’all out there trying to hustle the Geto Boys brand by only including Scarface, who had a stellar solo career: How in the hell are you gonna have a 50-year tribute to Hip Hop and not include Geto Boys the group?” Willie asked. “If you forgot, the group includes Scarface and Willie D. How you gonna use a performance that includes a song that I co-wrote but not even have the decency, the respect to reach out to me and ask me if I wanted to participate? Y’all are some clowns for that. All the way out of pocket. Whoever made the call, y’all some clowns… No more talking.”

Also, he captioned his post with ““Disrespectful Mofos!!! No mo’ talk.” In fact, some people even questioned why Scarface himself didn’t give him a call or decline performing without him. Still, Questlove clearly curated this spectacle with a lot of heart and passion. With that in mind, we don’t know who was directly responsible for this specific decision. Regardless, the Roots drummer partnered with Nas’s Mass Appeal to bring hip-hop’s fifty years to life. “Hip Hop has been a driving force in the music and the culture,” he expressed. “It’s had an immeasurable impact on our culture and our world and I’ve had the great privilege of co-curating this thing with the Roots and many others that are gonna join us that night.”

Meanwhile, LL Cool J finished the performance with a hopeful gaze towards the future, and by acknowledging the long journey. “From The Bronx to the five boroughs, to the West Coast to the Heartland; overseas to Europe, to Africa, to Asia; TikTok, whatever’s next,” he said. “Because thanks to the 33 Hip Hop artists on stage and the countless more we love, Hip Hop is a global platform today. We’re celebrating. Happy 50th anniversary to Hip Hop, baby!” Come back to HNHH for the latest news on the Grammys, hip-hop history, and underrepresented legends.
