Yungeen Ace Responds To Those Against Him On Second 2024 Tape “I Control My Destiny”

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“I put my all in this project. I know ppl praying I fail or be in a casket or cell, but I’m destined for greatness… hope yall been waiting to hear from me. Album out now I Control My destiny.” That is Yungeen Ace about his newest album, which hit streaming platforms this weekend. It’s his second of 2024, and it follows up on his March 29 release, Forgotten Star. New music has not been the only headline surrounding the Jacksonville, Florida rapper and singer, though. It’s actually been quite the controversial stretch for him, as he has been involving himself with his late Florida contemporary, Foolio.

He’s been on the receiving end of a lot of hate thanks to a pair of diss tracks toward the latter. Both “Do It” and “Game Over” came across as very distasteful and they seem to suggest that he was the one who put the hit on Foolio. It actually led to allegations against him, and a few suspects are currently in custody. Things are still not sorted out as of yet, and it looks like it will take some time before justice is served to the MC’s family and friends. Still, Ace decided to include those two direct diss records on I Control My Destiny, maybe to create some extra buzz around it. There are some solid cuts, as this tape sees him opening up more. But overall, it’s still an interesting and contentious vibe surrounding Yungeen Ace.

Foolio Murder Suspect Bobs Head To Yungeen Ace Song During Court Hearing

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If Gudda Zay is wanting to “be home soon”, then he is really not doing a great job with that. The rapper, real name Isaiah Chance, is a current suspect of the murder of Jacksonville, Florida rapper, Foolio. The latter was tragically killed while celebrating his 26th birthday at a Tampa Holiday Inn in late June. As it stands, Chance is one of three in custody, as it seems there is still a fifth one on the loose. According to HypeFresh, Chance’s, Sean Gathright’s, and Alicia Andrews’ next court hearing will go down in September.

However, before that point, there is some potentially revealing evidence that could be used against Chance in future court appearances. HypeFresh and No Jumper got their hands on some footage which shows the over-confident suspect vibing to some of Yungeen Ace’s music during his hearing. Ace obviously has a lot of history with Foolio, dissing him on multiple occasions. Both were/are in rival gangs, so it would appear that Chance could have some affiliation with Ace based on him bobbing his head to his music.

The Internet Thinks The Foolio Suspect Just Told On Himself

Or, Chance could be with another gang that is not known of yet. If that’s the case, that’s what these future trials are for. He’s currently facing a first-degree murder charge at the time of writing, which has fans really wondering why he would do such a thing. “Yea bros done they done used the goobie goober method on him”, one IG user says. “He just told without telling”, another adds.

What are your thoughts on this Foolio murder suspect bobbing his head to some Yungeen Ace in court? Do you think Isaiah Chance is bound to receive time based on this video, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Three Foolio Murder Suspects Have Been Arrested By Tampa Police, With Two More Remaining At Large

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tampa police have arrested three of five of the people suspected of involvement in the murder of Florida rapper Foolio, who was gunned down in June at the age of 26. According to TMZ, Tampa police announced they arrested Alicia Andrews, Isaiah Chance, and Sean Gathright in Jacksonville; all three have been charged with first-degree murder. The two remaining suspects are brothers, Davion and Rashad Murphy. Per the Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw, all five have connections to a gang supposedly tied to another rapper, Yungeen Ace, with whom Foolio was known to be feuding over the past few years as both gained popularity.

Foolio was killed in the early hours of June 23, as multiple gunmen surrounded and shot at his vehicle in the parking lot of a Holiday Inn, where he was celebrating his 26th birthday after getting booted from an Airbnb for violating occupancy rules. TMZ shared security video released by police that showed the shooters approaching the hotel parking lot and firing at the rapper’s car with automatic rifles. Three other victims were apparently shot and hospitalized, but there were no other reported fatalities.

Yungeen Ace’s feud with Foolio went viral as a result of Ace’s 2021 song “Who I Smoke,” which drew attention for its interpolation of Vanessa Carlton’s fan-favorite 2002 hit “A Thousand Miles.” After Foolio’s death, he released another diss track, “Do It.”

Yungeen Ace Swears To DJ Akademiks That He Won’t Diss Foolio

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like getting a solid read on Yungeen Ace’s relationship with the now late rapper Foolio will never happen. No matter what positivity he shows toward his counterpart, Chicago-born MC is always going to have some eyebrows raised. For example, just about a week ago, the now Jacksonville native hopped on an Instagram Live session with his followers in which people were asking him about Foolio. Ace pointed out sad and tragic his passing was, as well as how they were supposedly cooler with each other behind closed doors. This led fans to make numerous comparisons to how King Von was when FBG Duck was murdered. It’s worth mentioning that the alleged killer of Foolio was accusing Yungeen Ace as the one who put the hit on him.

However, he has not been charged in any capacity. But going back to the IG Live clip, DJ Akademiks reposted it to his account. Assumedly, Ace and the hip-hop sleuth had some conversations because a recent interview between them has just come out. Of course, Foolio was the main topic of discussion and during their chat. Throughout their sit-down, the “Ready To Die” MC continued to say more positive things about him.

Yungeen Ace Doesn’t Disrespect The Dead

In the clip above, Akademiks asks him if he’s going to continue to diss Foolio, to which he vowed, “No… can’t be doing that bout the dead”. Ace then went onto say how he used to listen to his music “back in the day” after Ak called him out for originally saying he didn’t. He even pointed out how Ace and Foolio used to be friends. But he shut that down, saying they weren’t really that tight, but that he did try to play some one-on-one basketball in Los Angeles. However, he claims Foolio turned down the offer. Overall, Ace was pretty all over the place, which seems to further highlight their checkered past.

What are your thoughts on Yungeen Ace telling DJ Akademiks he won’t be dissing Foolio after his passing? Do you trust him, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Yungeen Ace and Foolio.

Foolio’s Instagram Posts Promo Video Amidst Hacking Confusion

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Foolio’s memory has not seen rest yet. The rapper’s tragic death has been overshadowed by a series of disses and bizarre incidents on social media. The former has come about due to Foolio’s beef with Yungeen Ace. The latter, however, is still a mystery that’s unfolding. Foolio’s Instagram account was hacked on June 28. This lead to a series of posts and comments that had hip-hop fans scratching their head.

On Friday night, the rapper seemingly urged fans to follow his profile. He did so in a video that was posted directly to the Foolio Instagram. “Aye, this Foolio man,” the rapper says into the camera. “Go follow my people… I’mma put their app below… go follow [them] right now.” The caption under the video reads: “No fuel, no deal. Everything guaranteed.” It’s unnerving to watch, however, knowing the rapper himself is not behind the upload. The hacker had already struck earlier in the evening. Earlier, Foolio seemingly commented on Yungeen Ace’s diss song “Game Over.” The hacker left a trash emoji in the comment section, which prompted Ace to respond.

All this is going on while the search for Foolio’s killers persists. Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters issued a statement on who the police are looking to Newsweek. He was careful not to reveal too much, though. “These groups – I won’t name them, they know who they are,” he explained. “We’re not going to tolerate any retribution, any revenge… we’re going to watch. We’re going to pay attention to what’s going on.” The Jacksonville police have not announced any suspects. Consequently, no arrests have been made.

Let us know your thoughts on this situation, in the comments section down below. Do you think Foolio’s account will continue to post content? Do you think the culprit will be caught? You can learn more about the Foolio case below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Yungeen Ace Responds To Foolio’s IG Being Hacked After His Death

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Foolio may have died, but Yungeen Ace is keeping the beef alive. The latter has not taken his foot off the gas since Foolio’s passing. If anything, he’s doubled down. He dropped two disses, “Did It” and “Game Over,” and both are ruthless takedowns of a rapper who can no longer defend himself. Well, you’d think he wouldn’t be able to, at least. A bizarre incident happened on June 28. Foolio’s Instagram account was hacked, and the hacker decided to leave a comment on one of Ace’s posts.

The comment was left on the music video link for “Game Over.” The hacker, who has yet to be identified, posted a trash can emoji. A valid response, given the content of the song, but morbid given the fact that Foolio is not behind the keyboard. Yungeen Ace saw this comment and responded. Without missing so much as a beat, the rapper wrote: “You still f*cking with me dude.” He included two laughing emojis, and then added: “I love you 4eva.” The love on Ace’s side is, presumably, sarcastic, given how brutal his diss tracks against Foolio have been.

That being said, this isn’t the first time Yungeen Ace has shown love to Foolio. When the latter was involved in a 2023 shooting, Ace hopped on Instagram to wish him the best. “I’m glad you survived,” he wrote. “I love you la bra.” Foolio (the real one) wrote back: “Love you too.” This directly contradicts the celebratory tone that Ace has taken since. It does suggest, however, that peace was a possibility at one point. Yungeen Ace was asked whether he would ever squash things with Foolio during a 2021 interview with DJ Vlad.

The rapper didn’t deny the possibility, but he didn’t directly answer the question. “I really want what’s best for the city,” he explained. “I just want everybody to win, no matter what it is, what it ain’t.” Foolio also sat down with DJ Vlad to hash out the same problem. The late rapper was more direct. “It’ll prolly [end] sooner than later,” he told the host. “You never know what God got planned. I told [Ace] that a couple times. We be talking, time to time.” The interview takes on a tragic bent, knowing how Foolio passed, and how Yungeen Ace has continued to act.

Yungeen Ace Ruthlessly Disses Foolio (Again) On New Song “Game Over”

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yungeen Ace and Foolio did not like each other. They were caught up in a deadly feud that lasted years. It may have potentially played a role in Foolio’s death. Tragedy has not stopped Ace, however. The rapper has continued to diss Foolio on record. Yungeen Ace dropped a song called “Do It” right after Foolio passed, on which he alludes to putting out a hit on someone’s life. Ace doesn’t mention names, but he knew how the verse would be perceived by the public. He decided to do it again. Worse, he decided to be more disrespectful.

Yungeen Ace dropped the song “Game Over” on June 28. The title already carries with it extremely grim connotations. The bars are even worse. “Dead on the floor, dead on arrival, Mr. 6. I’m steady screamin’ out, “F*ck the long, f*ck the 6,” Ace raps. “Four in the car and one of them dead, three got hit. I told them n**gas they don’t want no war with this sh*t.” This is where plausible deniability goes out the proverbial window. Foolio was one of four passengers in a car when he was killed. Foolio’s set is 6 Block. The number is littered throughout the entire song. Yungeen Ace isn’t even trying to be subliminal. “Game Over” literally starts with the rapper saying: “Y’all know I smoke dead people, man, you know what I’m sayin’? And I smoke 6, haha.”

Yungeen Ace References Details From Foolio’s Murder

The rapper went as far as to detail Foolio’s death. “5.56 increase the murder rate, ‘nother body on the way,” he spits. “Mask on, get up close, this another closed case. Don Julio shots to the face.” Foolio used the name “Julio Fulio,” and Yungeen Ace likens his death via shooting to taking shots of Don Julio tequila. Disrespectful doesn’t do the song justice. Ace’s decision to celebrate Foolio’s death so publicly could come back to haunt him, however. Especially given how blatant he’s been with his bars.

Criminal lawyer Brian Rivers analyzed Yungeen Ace’s “Do It” on social media. He claimed that the lyrics could land the rapper in serious legal trouble. “If they can link Yungeen Ace to any kind of case,” Rivers explained. “This is coming into evidence. If you dance this close to the sun, you’re gonna get f*cking burned.” Ace’s decision to not only drop a diss, but drop a second, more detailed diss, is certainly an example of dancing close to the sun. Time will tell if his career suffers as a result. His reputation, however, has already started to chip away.

Florida Rapper Foolio Is Dead At 26, After Being Shot While Celebrating His Birthday In Tampa

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tragedy has struck the Jacksonville, Florida rap community. Rising artist Foolio has died at the age of 26. The musician, known for his viral remix to Fantasia’s song “When I See You,” was reportedly shot and killed earlier today (June 23).

According to News4JAX, Foolio (real name Charles Jones) and several friends were believe to be celebrating his birthday (June 21) over the weekend at a private Airbnb rental.

In a post shared to Jones’ official Instagram Stories, the late rapper claimed that police arrived to the location and shut down his promoted pool party. He then alleged that he was forced from the property’s grounds. Jones’ lawyer, Lewis Fusco, echoed that via his statement to the outlet.

Some time after Fusco said, Jones secured a room at the Holiday Inn in Tampa, where we would reportedly be killed in the parking lot around 4:40 a.m.

“What we have learned, and this is early in the investigation, two cars were shot at,” said Joneé Lewis, public information officer for the Tampa Police Department. “The victim in this morning’s shooting is believed to be Charles Jones. Positive identification is pending confirmation from the Medical Examiner’s Office.”

According to officials, three other gunshot victims were taken to local hospitals. But, Lewis if confident they will make a full recovery. No arrests have been made at this time.

In 2023, Jones was shot in the foot in his hometown. Jones attempted to relocate after that incident and his then ongoing tension with fellow rapper Yungeen Ace, who is known for his Vanessa Carlton-sampling song “Who I Smoke.”
