Fivio Foreign Sends Kanye West New Verse, Hints At “Vultures” Appearance
Fivio Foreign and Kanye West have quite the collaborative history together, so to see it move forward is really no surprise. Still, fans are nonetheless excited because the former tweeted on Friday night (December 29) that he just turned his verse in to the latter. As such, there’s plenty of reason to believe that these two rappers will be coming through with some more heat together in the near future. But this is Ye we’re talking about; entire institutions could dedicate millions of dollars to researching every time this man has promised music that never saw the light of day. But we’re close to the New Year; can’t we be optimistic one more time before 2024 rolls around?
Jokes aside, this is most likely going to show up on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s collaborative album Vultures– well, if it ever ends up dropping, that is. There’s also the change that Fivio Foreign’s verse just doesn’t fit into the final cut, which is another common trait of Yeezy album cycles and rollouts. Regardless, it’s become curious to see how the New York drill exponent became one of the Chicago artist’s closest musical companions in recent years. There’s a certain chemistry when they link even when the end result isn’t perfect, so there’s always potential there.

Fivio Foreign Sent His Verse In, Fans Expect Appearance On Kanye West’s Vultures
What’s more is that this new collaboration might replace a recent and controversial one as Fivio Foreign’s current hot topic. For those unaware, he featured on Lil Mabu’s “TEACH ME HOW TO DRILL,” a pretty self-aware song about a hardened drill MC teaching a preppy white counterpart about the genre and lifestyle. It’s at least much more palatable than some of Mabu’s past work, which didn’t take this tongue-in-cheek approach that’s cognizant of its troll appeal. We’re not saying that’s a good thing, but you have to know what you are and what you’re up against if you want to be successful.
Meanwhile, with Kanye dropping shoes instead of songs these days, we’ll see whether this Fivio verse ever comes out. Where do you think he might fit in on Vultures? Let us know your predictions on these topics down in the comments section below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Fivio Foreign and Kanye West.

Drake’s XXXTENTACION Beef Was Passed Down To 600Breezy, Chicago Rapper Reveals
During a recent interview with No Jumper, 600Breezy revealed some of the pitfalls of hanging around Drake, which include getting involved in his beef. He recalled the Toronto hitmaker beefing with XXXTentacion ahead of his passing, claiming that he truly crossed the line once he disrespected Drake’s mother, Sandi Graham. According to him, when he brought her into things, he knew XXX was “tripping.”
“It was gonna happen, bro” he began. “I ain’t gonna lie. Rest in peace though to him, you feel me but… Drake’s my homie though.” Adam22 then interjected, noting how up until XXXTentacion, nobody had really come after Drake in that way. “I got to meet his mom multiple times,” 600Breezy explained. “That’s a sweet, precious lady, bro. Softspoken, like when she comes in the room her aura is amazing. So why is you playing with her, you don’t know her.”

600Breezy On XXXTENTACION Beef
(@nojumper)He continued, revealing at that point he knew it was time to “f*ck [him] up.” XXXTentacion isn’t the only fellow rapper 600Breezy has had beef with, however. Most recently, he took shots at King Yella, threatening to physically harm the Chicago MC after 1090 Jake leaked his paperwork. The transcripts unveiled various conversations King Yella had with law enforcement officials about other artists. 600Breezy perceived the conversations as alleged “snitching,” and clearly didn’t take kindly to it whatsoever.
“When I catch you, I’ma beat TF out of you,” he warned in a video shared with social media followers. “You suppose to spin the police, you a goofy. And i’ll pull up to Vegas, however you wanna do it. Yous a goofy.” What do you think of 600Breezy’s account of his beef with XXXTentacion? Are you surprised that the rapper disrespecting Drake’s mom was the catalyst? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Lil Uzi Vert & Sexyy Red Close Out 2023’s “Fire Emoji” Playlist With A Bang In New Update: Stream
Well, folks, we’ve finally made it: the final Fire Emoji playlist update of 2023 is a very short but very sweet one. As the year comes to a close this weekend, it’s a pretty slow week for new releases as folks celebrate and gear up for 2024. Still, there were four particularly great tracks to highlight this week that will surely help you end the year off with a bang. First up is Lil Uzi Vert’s “Red Moon,” which was once a YouTube exclusive for Christmas Day that eventually made its way to streaming services. It’s not as energetic or vibrant as we’re used to hearing from them these days, but it represents the Philly superstar’s other half: a moodier, more tender, emotive, and vulnerable melodic approach with some great drum-and-bass percussion.
Furthermore, another Fire Emoji highlight comes from none other than Sexyy Red, who is absolutely one of the year’s most dominant and important artists. Say what you will about the new Chief Keef-assisted remix of “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Daddy)” [or “F My Baby Mama” in this case], but you can’t deny the sheer impact that hits like this had in 2023. The Chicago legend comes through with a pretty charismatic performance, proving that he can still play with the younger crowd as one of its biggest influences. The song remains as good if not better than its original, and it will lead us into hopefully another great year for the St. Louis MC.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream
In addition, we had to shout out the title track on Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, and The Alchemist’s collaborative project, Hall & Nash 2. Whether it’s the sharp and boisterous lyricism or the vintage and engrossing production, any song on this tape would’ve fit like a glove on Fire Emoji. What sets “Hall & Nash” apart on the tracklist is its deliberately patient, menacing, and almost Western-like beat, sampling some rattling, a guitar twang, and ghostly keys. Ahead of a revamped version of the same record apparently coming in 2024, we can’t recommend this Griselda and Uncle Al team-up enough.
Finally, one of the greatest lyricists writing and rapping today had to drop one more gem for us this year before closing it out. Boldy James came through with production help from Your Boy Posca on the single “They Vouching,” which is as lyrically grimy as it is sonically soothing thanks to wondrous flute melodies and ambient, persistent synth pads. Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji inclusion was this week– and what else we missed, too. Check out the playlist above and come back to HNHH for every great rap release to come in 2024: we’ll have it on lock.

The Game’s Sexual Assault Accuser Wins Second Lawsuit Against Him
The Game just lost a second lawsuit against him from Priscilla Rainey, a former contestant on his 2015 She’s Got Game reality TV show. Moreover, she sued him for sexual assault in 2016 after he allegedly touched her without consent on a date. The rapper lost this case due to his failure to attend court for scheduled hearings, resulting in a default judgement of $7.1 million owed to Rainey. But in 2021, she opened another lawsuit and claimed he opened various shell companies to avoid complying with this ruling and hide assets. Now, the court reportedly sided with her, and the 44-year-old must fully account for this missing payment.
Furthermore, Rainey alleged that he gave up his role as manager at the company JTT Holdings and instead passed the torch to his manager, Wack 100. Another way in which The Game allegedly gamed the system to not look like he had that many assets was, according to the former reality TV contestant, giving up ownership of his Los Angeles property. Her victorious second lawsuit claimed that she only received $500K of the amount established by the default judgement. As such, Rainey seeks to seize this eventually and asked the court to delegitimize these shell companies so she could access her owed funds.

The Game Loses Second Lawsuit Concerning Sexual Assault Case
According to reports, the court held a hearing on December 13 to discuss this, and both the plaintiff and The Game’s manager Wack testified. The music executive and provocateur told authorities that his client gave him his Los Angeles house due to a personal debt between them, and nothing more. According to Radar Online the court ended up siding with Rainey and established the California MC’s inability to avoid payments, unless he wants more consequences down the line. For example, Rainey would now be able to file a lien against his L.A. home or sell it, now that it’s reportedly back under his legal ownership and part of his seizable assets.
Meanwhile, what do you think about this whole debacle? Is Evelyn Lozada’s daughter’s possible flame going to get out of this or is this the final straw in Rainey’s journey? However you may feel, let us know in the comments section down below. For more news and the latest updates on The Game, stay up to date on HNHH.

Funny Marco On DaBaby’s “Open Thoughts” Episode: “It Was Dangerous”
During a recent conversation on Complex‘s 360 With Speedy, Funny Marco reflected on his first-ever episode of Open Thoughts, which saw him interview DaBaby. According to him, he learned a few lessons from the experience, including not to ask guests shady questions. He recalled questioning why DaBaby sounds the same on all of his songs, which looking back, he would have second guessed.
“It was dangerous,” he explained jokingly. “When I asked DaBaby why he rapped the same, I was trying to ask for the people. That was something I shouldn’t have did but I did it. But it was great. We ended up making a great episode, got a great relationship. But sometimes I’m like, don’t ask what the people want to know – just ask what you need to know. So that was something that I learned from that.”

Funny Marco Says He’s Learned His Lesson
While Funny Marco’s interview with DaBaby certainly had its fair share of awkward moments, it’s far from the only Open Thoughts episode to make headlines. He sat down with G Herbo and Southside in October, which resulted in a fairly controversial interview. As they filmed the episode, the two artists broke Marco’s $30K watch, called him names, and overall, appeared to be bad guests. Luckily, he was also able to use that situation as a learning experience and move on relatively unscathed.
“I was upset while it was going on,” he told social media followers shortly after the interview dropped. “But I understand I got a job to do & one thing about me, I respect people on my show. I didn’t want to match they Energy. It’s so many L’s I took on my Journey I wish I could show I don’t hide anything. So I feel it was only right to put the episode out myself. And just learn from that episode & move on. Thank who support me it’s a mindset thing.” What do you think of Funny Marco’s take on his first-ever Open Thoughts interview with DaBaby? What about him claiming that it was “dangerous” in retrospect? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Chaka Khan & Kanye West’s Seemingly One-Sided Grudge Is Over, According To The Singer Because: ‘It Was Silly’
From Drake and Nicki Minaj to Taylor Swift and Cardi B, Kanye West (formerly Ye) has a long and well-documented list of people with whom he’s had beef. But according to a recent Rolling Stone interview, one iconic musician has rethought getting into it with the “New Body” rapper.
On December 28, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Chaka Khan said that her apparently one-sided grudge with West was over. Back in 2019, on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Khan confessed that she was “insulted” by how her 1984 single “Through The Fire” was sampled on West’s 2003 track “Through The Wire.” But upon reflection, she’s changed her mind.
“You know, that was my fault, too, for feeling salty about that in any way. Because if I understood the rap game more completely, like I do now, then that wouldn’t have been a big deal to me,” said Khan. “I’m done. Please. I’m not hanging on to any silly grudges.”
Based on a video floating around online, Khan isn’t the only artist that recently buried that hatchet with West. It appears that Kid Cudi and him have also put aside their issues after reconnecting at his Vultures listening party on December 14.
