New Hip Hop News

Clubhouse is becoming known as the place for venting and confrontations. The app rose to fame during the quarantine lockdown and became a staple for celebrities to jump in rooms to converse with the fans and the media, and now it is a staple for those looking to hash out differences. Karen Civil and Joyner Lucas became a trending topic after their Clubhouse spat, and it looks as if Roddy Ricch has engaged in a back and forth with Yah-L, a reported Crip from Los Angeles.

Apparently, there have been allegations that Roddy is “false flagging,” and he confronted Yah-L about the rumors on Clubhouse. “I got phone calls, text messages, I’m seeing on the internet I’m false flagging. I wanna know what’s going on,” said Roddy.

“Who’s sayin’ I’m not from the hood? You saying I’m not from the hood?!” he added. When Yah-L stood his ground, Roddy continued to let him have it. “I’m asking you a question… You ain’t see me get put on to Blacc Macc?… Alright, champ, three n*ggas, put two of them down, that ain’t official? I know a lot of little homies that ain’t get their official, n*gga.”

Yah-L told him to watch his tone, but Roddy didn’t care and they continued to talk over one another. “You ever touched a million dollars? I’m asking you a question. You ever touched a million dollars before?” Roddy asked. “I’m asking you do you know what that feel like? ‘Cause you here talking about another n*gga for free. Laughing. You laughing and I’m asking you a question.”

Yah-L became upset and told Roddy that “real ones” didn’t help him earn that money. “You playing internet games on some sh*t—I don’t even know how to use this Clubhouse sh*t. I had to call Wack four, five times, he callin’ me. You thirty, forty years old using this app, n*gga, I’m twenty-three. I don’t even know how to use this sh*t. ‘Cause I’m over here trying to make the Forbes again this year, man.”

The typically mild-mannered rapper added that Yah-L was trying to tear him down without mentioning all that Roddy has done for his community. Roddy also listed off names of people from his neighborhood that have moved up the industry ladder with him and have gone on to form their own companies. He also refuted that he was avoiding Compton, saying he shot all his music videos there until his debut album and was there so often that his label told him he had to leave and film somewhere else.

“I done made $20 million in a year, you think I’m ’bout to be posted up with you, n*gga?!” Listen below.

He may be behind bars, but Casanova is making sure his voice is heard. It has been just over one year since Casanova was arrested on federal charges related to racketeering and drug trafficking, and while the rapper continues to maintain his innocence, he also has called out those who could help him, but won’t. His friends and supporters have rallied around him and often share words of encouragement on social media, including his wife who has been holding him down until he comes home.

Meanwhile, within the last 24 hours, Casanova has been firing off a few tweets that read like random thoughts. In the first, he addresses Roddy Ricch’s recent allegations that he’s “false flagging” because he’s worked his way out of the hood.

“NIGGAS WANT @RoddyRicch to be in the hood so he can end up like me lol Man f*ck that sh*t @RoddyRicch keep making that 20 million a year, it beats shooting the wrong video in the hood and sh*t go left [double exclamation mark emoji] I hope that don’t go over your head.” He also touched on the beef between Kodak Black and Jackboy, tweeting that he doesn’t know what happened between them but “I WISH THEY COULD SQUASH THINGS AND COME BACK TOGETHER.”

His last seems to be a note for those who continue to ask him about connecting with Jay-Z in an effort to help Casanova’s case. “Stop asking me what Jay Z is doing for me… he did enough already, he gave me a shot.” Check it out below.

When it comes to his dating life, Kodak Black has his own way of moving. Within the last two years alone, Kodak has surfaced with several women and that doesn’t count those that he shamelessly flirts with on social media. He has publicly fawned over both Zendaya and Cardi B’s sister Hennessy Carolina, but that doesn’t even include his “engagement” to Mellow Rackz and the woman he’s reportedly currently expecting a child with.

Many rappers carry on lifestyles that include dating or romancing multiple women at one time, some under the guise of polyamory and others who simply don’t want to be committed to one woman.

It looks as if Kodak was out and about again because he was spotted at a hockey game with a date. His lucky lady posted videos of her escapades sitting rinkside as Kodak was seen smiling from ear to ear, but this was a date unlike any other. Aside from the clips of them posing for the cameras, someone enjoying the game from the other side of the rink captured the woman bent over in front of Kodak during the game.

Some have tweeted about the incident with claims that the couple was having sex, however, there are other reports that she was just twerking on him. A video clearly shows that they they were just grinding, albeit awkwardly, but they were both clothed. People nearby couldn’t help but stare because this is probably the first time they have seen anything like this in hockey.

Lawsuits and court cases aren’t unfamiliar in Hip Hop and this time, it looks as if two of the genre’s icons are at the center of controversy. When it comes to collecting their monies owed, rappers don’t mess around. Unpaid royalties are often the focus of artists taking their fellow creators or labels to court, and according to Page Six, Pete Rock is preparing to sue Nas.

This suit is taking things way back to 1994 when Nas released his stellar debut studio album, Illmatic. The classic record continues to reach heights in Top 10 lists, but Rock claims someone needs to write him a check.

According to Page Six, Rock alleges Nas signed a contract “that would allow the producer a cut of the proceeds from the classic track ‘The World Is Yours,’ a total that’s now in the millions of dollars.” The famed producer has a writing credit on the record and added vocals, and Rock made claims that he has attempted to collect from Nas but nothing materialized.

Now, it doesn’t seem that Pete Rock has yet to file the lawsuit, but it’s reported that he’s preparing to make things official sometime this month. “Nas and his people have stonewalled me since 1994; My New Year’s resolution is to be compensated for my hard work on ‘Illmatic,'” Rock said in a statement.

Hip Hop fans are hoping this one can work out without the courts getting involved. We’ll keep you updated on the progress of this case. Revisit Illmatic below.

Both Brandy and Cam’ron have dabbled in various aspects of the entertainment industry, but most recently, these two have appeared together on the ABC series, Queens. Brandy portrays the character of Naomi, also known as Xplicit Lyrics, a woman who was once a part of an all-women Hip Hop group that disbanded but is looking to reunite for another chance in the spotlight.

The Dipset icon tackles the character of Naomi’s ex-boyfriend who re-enters her life, but behind the scenes, Cam’ron has been sharing bits of his interactions with the R&B star.

We’ve reported on these two cracking jokes and posting backstage skits, and during her recent interview with Essence, Brandy was questioned about whether or not she and Cam’ron would one day collaborate in the studio together. She didn’t directly answer the question, but it seems she just got sidetracked while bragging about her co-star’s talents.

“I was so thankful for him to come and be a part of the show because all those skits that we did, that’s him. That’s his mind,” said Brandy. “He’s such a comedian and editing, he edited everything. And I just went along with it. He was the director and I was the actress, and it was just great.”

“And you know, chemistry is something that, it’s just, it’s supernatural,” she continued. “You can’t force it, you can’t teach it, and we just had a great chemistry. I had a really great time working with him and I think he should do more acting. He’s so good.”
