At South By Southwest on Monday, March 11, Drake’s team hosted an after-party (but Drake himself wasn’t there) following the premiere of the new docuseries Magic City: An American Fantasy, which was co-executive produced by Drake’s DreamCrew Entertainment. The event went down at Austin’s Mayfair nightclub, where Bobbi Althoff reportedly showed up before getting kicked out.

Why Was Bobbi Althoff Reportedly Kicked Out Of Drake’s SXSW Party?

“A source inside the party” reportedly told the Daily Mail, “I have no idea how she got in because she was not invited by organizers or hosts of the event. If you look up the past history between her and Drake, it’s easy to see why she wasn’t invited — and why she was removed as soon as possible.”

So, the reason seems to be that Althoff wasn’t invited due to her and Drake’s past.

Last summer, Drake appeared on Althoff’s The Really Good podcast. Shortly after their awkward-by-design interview, Drake unfollowed Althoff on social media, which sparked rumors of beef between the two. In January, though, Althoff said, “He’s a very nice person. Him and Funny Marco. Both of them definitely changed my whole entire life.” She also noted that she and Drake spoke regularly, and at the time, she had last talked to him “a couple weeks, maybe a month ago.”

Gunna And Offset’s ‘Prada Dem’ Video Is An Exquisite Look At The Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous

by

According to Gunna’s acclaimed album, A Gift And A Curse, notoriety isn’t all it is cracked up to be. However, on his latest single, “Prada Dem,” featuring Offset, he doesn’t mind showing off the perks of popularity.

Gunna has much to prove as the official follow-up to “Bittersweet” and his first significant collaboration since the YSL RICO Trial. Fortunately for him, he’s no stranger to pressure. The pair lean heavily into the signature trap sound made famous in their Atlanta stomping grounds. For the official video, Gunna, Offset, and director Leff grace viewers with an exquisite look at an elegant lifestyle.

To complement the track’s luxury lyrics, the duo embark on an extravagant shopping spree. “I set the trend, I’m a trendsetter / I’m not a rat, still gettin’ cheddar / Audemars wrist, timeless / Certified factory diamonds / I’m the young n**** goin’ diamond / Prince, they call me Your Highness,” raps Gunna.

Never one to be shown up, Offset flexes his expansive fashion knowledge on his guest verse. “Turning up your b*tch, Cinderella / 2024 Margiela / Money in the wall, cartelin’ / Mansion in the hills, mall in it / Cold in a Saint Laurent chinchilla / Million when I walk, I can spend bigger,” raps Offset.

To take a page out of the Migos’ book, sometimes it’s OK to flex for a second when you are handsome and wealthy. With Offset on the road for his first solo headlining tour and Gunna slated to head back out soon, their grand isn’t in vain, as seen by the price tags they frequently pop.

Charlamagne Tha God Blasts Donald Trump Supporters As White Supremacists

by

Charlamagne Tha God has not held back while sharing his thoughts about the voter base of Donald Trump. “They’ve accepted fascism and those are the people who I feel like they want their rights to be racist back. They want white supremacy to reign supreme over this nation,” Charlamagne told Stephen A. Smith. Charlamagne has been previously critical of Joe Biden. However, it remains to be seen if Charlamagne will back Biden to avoid a second Trump term.

Furthermore, Smith – a long-time Democrat – agreed that he would not be backing Trump in November. “I’m not voting for him, I can tell you that much right now. I’m not voting for him but it’s not because of his politics. It’s because of his behavior, the kind of person I think he is and I believe that he could potentially cause civil war in this country,” Smith noted. Smith has not yet publicly declared if he will back Biden in November.

Money Man Endorses Donald Trump

Elsewhere, Money Man has become the latest rapper to endorse Trump in the 2024 election. “I f-ck with Trump. I’m f-cking with Trump. I would go Trump. This my thing, I don’t think the Democrats done did sh-t for us. Man, I don’t see n-ggas getting rich out this b-tch man. Trump just, at least the other side they gone tell you how they feel. You know what I’m saying? Shoutout to Trump man,” Money Man said this week.

However, as mentioned, Money Man is not the only rapper backing Trump. Last year, Benny the Butcher announced that he was voting for Trump. Despite this, there are doubts that Benny can vote. Having been convicted of three felonies in the past, Benny could be ineligible to vote, depending on where he is registered. 24 states have laws governing if and how those convicted of felonies can vote. A further 23 states do not allow the currently incarcerated to vote. Only Maine and Vermont have no voting restrictions when it comes to criminal history.

Bktherula Levels Up On “LVL5 P2”

by

Atlanta, Georgia rapper and singer Bktherula is one of the most fun and intriguing voices in the trap scene period. In a landscape where predictability is more and more common nowadays, she definitely goes against the grain. It is great to see that, especially for the short amount of time she has been in the game. 2019 was the year she released her first single and from there, she continues to show steady growth. Bktherula’s off-kilter style and flows may not be everyone’s taste, but at least she is bringing some fresh ideas to the table on LVL5 P2.

If that title looks familiar to you, that is because this new album is a sequel to LVL5 P1, which saw its release in 2023. The P1 and P2, according to the press release, stand for player one and player two. Bktherula is big gaming fan and we can certainly see it. Some of the beats she chooses sound like they would fit right at home in a space exploration video game.

Bktherula is showing on LVL5 P2 that she is a voice that you need to continue to keep your ears on.

Death Of Adult Actress Sophia Leone Labeled “Suspicious”

by

The recent death of porn star Sophia Leone is being considered “unique” and “suspicious” by Albuquerque police. Leone was found dead at her home on March 1, with no signs of physical trauma. However, the death is being treated as suspicious, according to a TMZ report. Furthermore, police refuted a report from Leone’s modeling agency that her death was the result of a “robbery and homicide”. “We do not know at this time if she is a victim of a crime so this is a unique situation,” a police spokesperson said.

Furthermore, Leone’s family has set up a GoFundMe to cover the costs of her funeral. “As her Stepfather, I want to personally thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time. Sophia will be deeply missed but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her. May she rest in eternal peace,” her stepfather Mike wrote on the campaign.

Adult Film Star Emily Willis In A Coma: Report

However, Leone’s death is not the only shock the adult entertainment industry has gone through recently. The family of porn star Emily Willis has revealed that the 25-year-old is in a coma and unable to breathe without a ventilator. Willis was hospitalized last month after an apparent overdose, despite a toxicology report coming back negative. However, Willis is yet to regain consciousness after suffering cardiac arrest while in rehab. Additionally, Willis’ stepfather Michael told TMZ that Willis has “stabilized somewhat” but is still unable to breathe without a ventiliator. The family set-up a GoFundMe page to cover the mounting medical expenses as they do have access to Willis’ financial accounts.

“Emily remains in a vegetative coma and is fighting for her life. We have been by her side as she slowly tries to recover, but it will be a challenging journey ahead. Regarding the reports of an overdose, we want to clarify that they are not accurate as far as the doctors and my family know. Emily was receiving the treatment and help she needed at the time of the incident to overcome her struggles,” he brother wrote in an update to the GoFundMe.

Kanye West Claims He Created All Popular Music From The Last 20 Years

by

For better or worse, it’s impossible to tell the story of hip-hop, or that of popular music in the 21st century, without mentioning Ye. Although he’s still in a heap of controversy due to his antisemitic remarks and his interpersonal relationships, his impact on music and pop culture is among the most undeniable and enduring of the past few decades at this point. While the Chicago artist has not always used this influence and power responsibly, he’s very cognizant of it. Moreover, he recently sat down with Big Boy for a rare new interview, lining up with a backlash-inducing Rolling Loud L.A. performance with Ty Dolla $ign, who also joined them.

“And of this music game, I am, but not under Lucian,” Ye remarked, likely referencing UMG CEO Lucian Grainge. “You know what I’m saying, I invented every style of music of the past 20 years. I created the genre. I created The Weeknd genre, Trav, Drake… Everybody. I’m gonna go ahead and say, with all love, Future and Thug also. Because the autotune album. 808s, if you think about it. Everybody think about Trav, Weeknd, and Drake, but no one thinks about Future and Thug also. Autotune album. Now everyone, they added what it was to it. But here’s a new genre. It’s called the ‘making your own money‘ genre.”

Ye Speaks On His Influence With Big Boy: Watch Clip

Of course, this is pretty undeniable, as Ye changed a lot for hip-hop in the 2000s as far as sound, image, and ethos. That transformation continued throughout the 2010s, and there’s no other artist in hip-hop who’s remained as magnanimous and relevant for three decades… again, for better or worse. As fans still await VULTURES 2, there’s been a lot of debate over whether the 46-year-old still has what it takes musically. Even though there are more important moral and ethical questions to answer concerning his career right now, it’s undeniable that his ability to resonate and create new moments remains untouched.

Meanwhile, do you agree with the “HOODRAT” artist’s assessment of his career? Will the “making your own money” genre make a comeback amid adidas’ losses? However you may feel, drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, for more news and the latest updates on Ye, check back in with HNHH.

Method Man Says Anthony Mackie Should Have Turned Down 2Pac Role

by

Speaking on 7am in Brooklyn, Method Man has shared his thoughts about Anthony Mackie playing 2Pac in 2009’s Notorious. “Anthony Mackie, brilliant f-cking actor. I love him and he deserves all the accolades that he gets. Except for that 2Pac role. I ain’t like that shit. You shouldn’t have took that one, bro. Your agent, I hope you got rid of that n-gga,” Method Man said.

However, Method Man revealed that most actors who try to portray 2Pac don’t hit the mark. “For somebody to really embody 2Pac, nothing against my boy [Demetrius] Shipp, the brother didn’t really have a lot to work with. I heard they didn’t get a blessing from 2Pac’s mom as well. He had a lot of obstacles in his way so we cannot blame him for that performance. You have to really embody, not just the rap part or the thug part, but his whole mentality, his aura. Everything about him was just different from anything we’d seen before,” Method Man continued.

BMF Fans Roast Show’s Weak 2Pac Casting

Elsewhere, BMF fans have voiced their frustration over the show’s weak casting and portrayal of 2Pac. Actor Mason Douglas only bears a passing resemblance to Pac, while the costuming debate chose to give him what can only be described as a Spirit Halloween 2Pac costume. Online, many fans commented “WhoPac” on clips from the show’s latest episode. 2Pac does not play much of a role in the story of BMF. However, his association with the powerful crime outfit is enough to warrant a brief cameo appearance as the show’s story unfolds.

As mentioned, the casting of the rapper has always been a daunting one. Mackie has famously recalled the dread he felt announcing that he would be playing 2Pac. Overall, most depictions of the beloved rapper have not gone over well with fans. This has been made all the more clear by the comments of Method Man, who actually collaborated with Pac himself.

Speaker Knockerz Fans Livid After “Disrespectful” And Downright Horrid Instrumental Album Hits Streaming Services

by

Speaker Knockerz is an artist who made the most of his time on this earth. Overall, in just a short period of time, he became extremely influential for the next generation of artists. Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of 19. This happened back in 2014, and over 10 years later, his legacy is still fondly remembered. However, his fans were reactivated this week when it was revealed that he was dropping a posthumous album called The Goat. Considering it has been 10 years since his death, this all seemed fairly bizarre.

Well, bizarre is certainly a good word to use when it comes to what this album actually is. If you go to Spotify or Apple Music right now, you will notice that this is actually an instrumental project. If you go scrolling through the project, you will not hear Speaker Knockerz’s voice. Overall, this came as a bit of a shock to fans. Moreover, the beats themselves are…well, to put it lightly, they’re not good. They sound dated and even at that, these would have been clowned back in the early 2010s regardless.

New Speaker Knockerz Has Fans Scratching Their Heads

In the tweets below, you can see just how livid fans were about this project. Many claimed that his management deserved to go to jail for this. Others simply said that Speaker Knockerz deserves a lot better than the album that was presented. For those who are only getting into Speaker Knockerz now, it is important to note that this is not an accurate representation of his work. Unfortunately, some may listen to these beats and never revisit him again. Hopefully, that won’t be the case.

Twitter Up In Arms

Pusha T Bobblehead Giveaway Announced By The Washington Wizards

by

The Washington Wizards will give away 10,000 Pusha T bobbleheads ahead of their game against Boston this weekend. “I have to be honest, I have never had a bobblehead made of me in my likeness, ever. You know, when I first heard the opportunity, I thought it was an honor. I looked it as an honor, honestly,” Pusha said.

Furthermore, the Wizards highlighted Pusha’s ties to the team. “Growing up in Virginia Beach, he was drawn towards the Wizards (then known as the Bullets) given their proximity.  “Where I’m from in Virginia, the closest team that we had to us was the Wizards. So, we naturally gravitated in fanfare to the Wizards. It’s always been like that since they were the Bullets. I just have such a strong history, it’s always been very supportive, D.C. has always been supportive of my music career,” he said. But his affinity for the DMV has continued into adulthood, as he moved to Bethesda in the mid-2010s, where his relationship with the Wizards grew deeper,” a press release read.

Pusha T Needle Drop Hypes Modern Warfare III Trailer

However, NBA bobbleheads aren’t the only pop culture thing Pusha has been involved in recently. A teaser for Modern Warfare III teaser followed main antagonist Makarov being escorted through prison to receive a new tattoo. Meanwhile, Soap gives one of his usual sonorous monologues about stopping evil. This is overlaid with footage of some of the game’s more iconic moments – a terror attack in London, Makarov bringing down a plane carrying the President of Russia. All in all, it was a hyped trailer ahead of the game’s main reveal last August.

A majority of the trailer is scored to Colonel Bagshot’s 1971 single “Six Day War”. However, right at the end, as Makarov looks at the camera, there is an amazing Pusha needle drop. Pusha sampled “Six Day War” on “Just So You Remember” last year and it’s that intense line (My Joker smile, you know who the villain is/Just so you remember who you dealin’ with…) that hear right at the end of the video. Furthermore, Pusha shared the video to his Instagram with the lyrics in the caption.

50 Cent & Young Buck Go Back & Forth Over Sexuality Claims

by

50 Cent is a merciless trolling opponent, and even past members of his G-Unit crew aren’t safe from his wrath. Moreover, you may know that he has an active beef with Young Buck, one that began in the late 2000s by falling out over Buck’s financial struggles. Specifically, he claimed that his label boss has a grudge against him after forcibly selling the rights to his music due to bankruptcy. No matter where their spat stands now, they’ve brought in other jabs and accusations in the mix. For example, the business mogul posted a picture insinuating that Buck has been in same-sex relationships.

“Didn’t make sense when we was taking the pic, but it makes whole lot of sense now. [laughing emojis] That boy like them boys!” 50 Cent captioned a post on Thursday (March 14) with a picture whose on-screen caption read “That time Young Buck refused a pic with Caitlyn Jenner” with a picture of the two G-Unit members with a transgender woman. “Dam bro @50cent… if ya miss me just say dat…” Buck replied via his Instagram Story, reminding folks that he turns 43 today (Friday, March 15). “Tell a n***a happy birthday if you gone mention me.”

PS. Don’t flag this post this time. Ya’ll know dude keep flagging my post… He miss his bro… Just wanna say HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Ya’ll @ him for me… He still got me blocked.“

“It’s just like, you rich, my man,” Buck said of the Fif beef on Steve-O’s podcast earlier this year. “You still doing your thing. I love your TV show Power, you know what I mean? Why are you doing this to me?! Bruh, we was once brothers. I’ve always looked at you as big brother. Yes, I’ve made mistakes too but I’ve never done anything to try to take food out of your mouth or stop you from eating. To see how aggressive he is towards me makes me feel like, ‘Damn, are you trying to Ja Rule me, too?!” For more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent and Young Buck, stick around on HNHH.
