Drake Seemingly Agrees With DJ Akademiks That Metro Boomin, Kendrick Lamar, And Future Used His Name For Clout
Drake is currently at war with what feels like the entire rap world. Overall, it started when Kendrick Lamar dissed Drake on the song “Like That.” This track appears on the new Future and Metro Boomin album, We Don’t Trust You. Throughout that album, there are also some disses from Future himself. Not to mention, Rick Ross is on the project and he quickly unfollowed Drizzy once the album was released. At this point, the man has very few friends left in the industry. Thankfully, there truly is a Drake song for every situation (see Certified Lover Boy).
Recently, it was revealed that We Don’t Trust You topped the charts. Furthermore, Metro Boomin and Future had numerous songs appear in the Billboard Top 10. This subsequently led to a subtle shot from DJ Akademiks. On his Instagram page, Akademiks made the claim that the artists used Drake’s name for clout, and that he deserves an assist for the streaming numbers. “Congrats to Metro Future Kendrick and the reason for the song Drake. On a #1 song. Here’s the billboard top 10 this week,” Akademiks wrote.

Drake With A Slick Like
In a showing of solidarity for the take, Drake ended up liking Ak’s post. Clearly, he enjoyed the caption and felt there was some sort of truth in it. Of course, the fact that he was dissed on the song certainly helped its position on the charts. However, it is a damn good song and even if Kendrick had delivered a normal verse, it probably would have been a success. After all, Metro and Future know how to crank out the hits. Either way, a like might not seem like a lot, but it shows where Drizzy stands in all of this.
Let us know what you think of the feud between Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, and Future, in the comments section down below. Who do you think is going to end up coming out on top here? Are you expecting Drake to drop a track? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Pusha T Labels Pharrell & Chad Hugo’s Neptunes Dispute “Stupidity”
Pusha T has spoken out on the legal dispute between Neptunes members Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo. Taking to his Instagram Story on Monday, he claimed that Hugo’s lawyer is just looking for a paycheck and labeled the situation “stupidity.” Hugo’s lawyer previously complained about Pharrell “fraudulently” filing to trademark the Neptunes’ name.
“There’s not a dollar involved in this stupidity. Just a lawyer looking to drain Chad’s pockets. Unreal,” he wrote. When a fan brought up Ralph Tresvant buying the trademark to New Edition, Pusha responded: “Smh… nothing more, nothing less.”

Hugo’s attorney, Kenneth D. Freundlich, wrote in a legal filing: “Throughout their over thirty year history, [Hugo] and Williams agreed to, and in fact, have divided all assets. By ignoring and excluding [Hugo] from the any and all applications filed by applicant for the mark ‘The Neptunes,’ applicant has committed fraud in securing the trademarks and acted in bad faith.” Check out Pusha’s response to the drama below.
Pusha T Speaks Out On Neptunes’ Legal Feud
A representative for Pharrell also responded to the situation in a statement to Billboard on Monday. They argued he only filed a trademark for the name to protect them from third parties. “Pharrell is surprised by this,” they wrote. “We have reached out on multiple occasions to share in the ownership and administration of the trademark and will continue to make that offer. The goal here was to make sure a third party doesn’t get a hold of the trademark and to guarantee Chad and Pharrell share in ownership and administration.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Pusha T as well as Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo on HotNewHipHop.

Angel Reese In Tears While Describing Death Threats & Sexualization Since Winning National Title
Angel Reese is easily one of the most notable players in the NCAA right now. Overall, she is a fantastic player who saw lots of success with LSU last season. In the end, she helped defeat Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the championship game. However, in 2024, her season has been much more difficult. The media has been on her case, and some fans have been especially cruel towards her. On Monday, she played a rematch against Caitlin Clark and Iowa, however, this time around, it was the Hawkeyes who were victorious.
It was a massive game for Clark as she was able to score 41 points in the win. As for Reese, she has 17 points and 20 rebounds. Unfortunately, the defense just wasn’t there as Clark hit three after three. Following the game, Angel Reese spoke to the media about the loss and what is next for her. As you can see below, she was visibly upset following the game. Reese has gone through hell, and as she explained, people have sent her death threats. Not to mention, they have also been sexualizing her.

Angel Reese Speaks
“I just try to stay strong,” Reese said. “I’ve been attacked so many times. Death threats, I’ve been sexualized, I’ve been threatened… All this has happened since I won the national championship & I haven’t been happy since then.” Now, Reese has 48 hours to decide whether or not she will declare for the WNBA draft. If she does, she will likely be a lottery pick. However, it seems clear that Caitlin Clark is going to be going number one.
Let us know what you think Angel Reese should do, in the comments section below. Should she declare for the WNBA? Or should she give it another year at LSU?

Cuba Gooding Jr. Spotted In Miami Amid Lil Rod’s Diddy Lawsuit
Paparazzi spotted Cuba Gooding Jr. in South Beach, Miami, on Easter Sunday. In a photo published by TMZ, he appears to be checking his phone on the back of a golf cart. Two unknown people are sitting up front. The picture comes after Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ named him as a co-defendant in his sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy. Additionally, police raided Diddy’s nearby Miami property just days beforehand.
In Jones’ lawsuit, his lawyers allege Gooding Jr. “began touching, groping, and fondling Mr. Jones’ legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks, and his shoulders.” It also says Jones “was extremely uncomfortable and proceeded to lean away from Mr. Gooding Jr… He rejected his advances and Mr. Gooding Jr. did not stop until Mr. Jones forcibly pushed him away.”

Cuba Gooding Jr. Appears In New York Court
Gooding Jr. hasn’t broken his silence on Jones’ lawsuit but hasn’t been seen with Diddy at all as of late. Diddy, for his part, has denied the allegations stemming from the lawsuit. “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines,” a statement from his lawyers reads. It further argues: “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
