Featured several times on the playlist is Chris Brown, who told people hating on modern R&B to “shut up” in a post on his Instagram Story, earlier this week.

“N****s are saying R&B is dead… Respectfully, shut up!” he wrote. “People nowadays want fast food instead of a real meal… DON’T BLAME THE REAL SINGERS OUT HERE [BECAUSE] WHAT CHANNELS DO PEOPLE HAVE TO SEE MUSIC VIDEOS?”

Diddy, who sparked the debate on Instagram Live, clarified that he meant no disrespect in a tweet on Saturday.

HotNewHipHop’s other playlist, Fire Emoji, also received an update this week, featuring additions from Offset, Hit-Boy, Key Glock, and many more.
