New Hip Hop News

Clubhouse has attempted to crack down on people screen-recording conversations, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to get around it. For a time, social media couldn’t hear enough about the budding app, and while the buzz surrounding Clubhouse has dissipated, it’s still a popular place for celebrities and influencers to connect.

Recently, Soulja Boy reportedly made his way over to a Clubhouse room and called out an unidentified person who has gotten under the rapper’s skin. “I wanna say your name so bad p*ssy lil’ n*gga, but I can’t make you famous,” said Soulja. “I just can’t.”

“You can have the clout from the other rappers, that’s cool, but you ain’t gon’ get it from me,” he continued. “I know that’s what you want, you want me to say your name, and I’m not. But just know, I ain’t forgot about you, boy. And I’mma get you. On god. I’mma get you, boy. Speaking on me in the interviews like you know me, n*gga. You don’t know sh*t about me. On god. It can go there. Anywhere, anytime, anyplace.”

Soulja Boy added that he “has the money” to “drop a whole million” on his foe’s “head.” He told his unnamed opp, “Don’t play with me.” Soulja didn’t appreciate the person mentioning his name and he let it be known that he’s not going to let it go.

Of curse, fans have speculated about who Soulja coul be talking about. Check out his clip from Clubhouse below.

Eight years ago, the death of Whitney Houston shocked the world. It was in February 2012 when the celebrated singer made appearances ahead of the Grammy Award ceremony, including visiting with Brandy and Monica to rehearse for Clive Davis‘s coveted pre-Grammy gala. Sadly, Houston was found unresponsive in her Beverly Hilton Hotel room, submerged in the bathtub. She was reportedly pronounced dead on the scene.

Houston’s family, friends, and fans have kept her legacy alive through memories and music, and Boosie Badazz recently wanted to share a Houston-inspired moment with his social media followers.

“Taking me a bath,” said Boosie in a video shared on social media. “I’m like, four doors down from the room Whitney Houston died in, so I’m taking me a bath.” The rapper added, “This sh*t legendary. I love Whitney Houston. Four doors down from the room where she died in. So, I’m taking me a bath. Listen to Whitney. T.I.P. Whitney Houston.”

It looked as if Boosie was honoring Whitney Houston in his own way, but not everyone thought that filming himself in a bath was appropriate, especially considering that is how she died. The Louisiana rapper has repeatedly spoken about his love and admiration for Houston, so it doesn’t seem as if his intentions were disrespectful.

Years ago, the Beverly Hilton decided to “retire” the room where Houston passed away because there were too many people requesting the room in order to party there “like Whitney did.” Check out Boosie’s video below.

Nivea and Lil Wayne have a complicated history together. Their story dates back to 2002, around the time Wayne had released 500 Degreez and Nivea was at the height of her career. While the two share a child now, they were once engaged with plans to get married on two separate occasions.

During a recent interview on Kandi Burress’ On The Note, Nivea covered a plethora of topics from her time in the industry as well as how her relationship with Wayne led her to quit her career. She said that Wayne initially tried to do a song with her following the success of “Don’t Mess With My Man” but he admitted later on it was simply to get her number. 

She said that the two began dating and things got serious quickly. Eventually, Wayne pushed her towards quitting her career and told her that he would take care of her. “He said, ‘come be with me. I got you,'” Nivea recalled. She said that she eventually sent in a letter to her label revealing that she would be quitting music entirely.

“I’m just sitting there, like, being a housewife… and you know, Reginae for very young,” she said. “All of a sudden — this is kind of funny — he was like, ‘I ain’t never stay in an apartment before. Let’s get an apartment.’ So we move out the house and get an apartment but I never realized he did that to move Toya back in the house.”

Nivea said that Wayne later hosted a birthday party where both and Toya Johnson were present. She said that Wayne gave Toya a lengthy speech and later on, she revealed they had tied the knot.

Time has flown by these last few years and it seems that Megan Thee Stallion is preparing to graduate from college. The Houston Hottie’s career catapulted back in 2019, and throughout 2020, the rapper found even more success with her Beyoncé collaboration, even in the middle of a COVID-19 pandemic-induced quarantine.

Throughout it all, Megan Thee Stallion has continued with her studies and on Monday (July 12), she suggested that she may have a few fans celebrate her next milestone with her. “I really want some of my hotties to come to my graduation [louding crying face emoji],” wrote Megan.

“My college experience has been a roller coaster!” she added. “I started at PV went to some community colleges in between and I’m ending at TSU. Don’t get discouraged! You can chase your dreams and your education at the same time [clapping hands emoji].” Megan has endured much during her college career; aside from growing into an international, award-winning superstar, she signed a management deal with Roc Nation to further her career, but also mourned the loss of her mother. 

We can’t forget the July 2020 incident that has polarized Hip Hop when Megan was shot in the foot. She continues to claim that Tory Lanez is responsible while he adamantly denies the accusations. Check out Megan Thee Stallion’s tweets below.

Motherhood has been treating Nicki Minaj well. It has been nine months since the “Seeing Green” rapper gave birth to her baby boy, and as he’s grown, Nicki has been giving the world sneak peeks into what life is like at home with her little “Papa Bear.” Nicki and her husband Kenneth Petty keep their family life out of the limelight somewhat, but during Nicki’s recent Instagram Live session, she shared a bit about being a first-time mom.

The rapper’s Livestream has been the talk of Hip Hop after she appeared with BIA to announce the “Whole Lotta Money (Remix)” and even chatted with longtime friend Lil Wayne, but her Barbz paid close attention to the details Nicki shared about her Papa Bear.

Nicki said that she had doubts that Papa Bear would “love people” and was shocked that he seems to have an outgoing personality. The toddler also has a Day One, his grandma, and he even has a special way of letting grandma know that he wants to be held. “She’s built a really dope bond with him since he was born,” said Nicki. “She’ll pick him up and then he’ll be like, caressing her face, and staring at her like, oh my god, ugh, obsessed.”

As Nicki works on her forthcoming album and has continuously hit the studio to collaborate with other artists, the famed femcee admitted to feeling “guilty” for being away from her son. “To the women that have to get up and go to work every day and leave the baby or put the baby in daycare, God bless you,” she said. “Like I know that that’s not easy.”
