Dillon Danis had a lot of beef with Logan Paul and Nina Agdal. However, that feud was months ago at this point. Overall, it started in the lead-up to Danis’ fight against Paul. The entire time, Danis just kept slut-shaming Agdal, in an attempt to rattle Logan. In the end, it didn’t work for Danis as he got destroyed in the fight. It was a pathetic showing that made fans turn on him. Since that time, he has remained fairly quiet as it pertains to the couple. After all, people don’t exactly want him to talk in such a rude way about someone who crushed him in the ring.
Well, today, Logan and Nina delivered some massive news to their fans. They revealed that they have a child on the way. Overall, this is great news for the couple, and they seem incredibly excited about all of this. However, Danis couldn’t let this news break without interjecting himself into all of it and making a joke at Logan’s expense. In a photoshopped image of himself and Agdal, Danis wrote “that might be my kid.”
Unfortunately, for Danis, what he is selling ain’t being bought anymore. Fans in the comments section over on DJ Akademiks’ page were not amused. And why would they be? Danis got destroyed by Logan Paul and if they got back in the ring, the same thing would occur. At this point, Danis is better off just sitting this one out, for all of eternity. It would save him a whole lot of embarrassment.
Let us know what you think of what Dillon Danis had to say, in the comments section down below. Should Dillon leave them alone at this point? Did his loss to Logan make these kinds of comments hit way less hard? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

With both WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOUand WE DON’T TRUST YOU out now, fans are going to compare which record is better. Some may even go song for song and debate which is better. One matchup that will be tough for many to choose a winner for are the self-titled openers. They are very different instrumentally, but both do set the tone tremendously for their respective tracklists.
At the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference, but Metro Boomin, Future, and The Weeknd certainly did their thing. “We Still Don’t Trust You” sees the St. Louis producer go into a lane he has not dabbled in since 2020. There is heavy synth pop inspiration, and it sounds like something he helped craft for The Weeknd on After Hours. The consistent criticism from the community about this track so far has been the lack of substance from Future and The Weeknd.
Listen To “We Still Don’t Trust You” By Metro Boomin, Future, & The Weeknd
For us though, the intro on this album is looking to be more cinematic and otherworldly and the minimal contributions from the superstars works in this case. MIKE DEAN is also back in the booth with Metro and we can definitely hear his transcendent synths across the instrumental. We are also enjoying this because Metro is exploring different sounds and building on something he got a bit of start on four years ago. After hearing what he can do across an entire album, we would love to see Metro continue to experiment with it.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new song “We Still Don’t Trust You” by Future, Metro Boomin, and The Weeknd? Is this the best track from either WE DON’T TRUST YOU or WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, why or why not? Out of all of The Weeknd’s guest appearances is this his strongest one, why or why not? Is this their best collaboration after hearing this? Which album are bumping more right now? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Future, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU.

Quotable Lyrics:
And the Paris girls, they sing my song with love In the stadium is where I feel at home I forgot the feeling of arena shows And she love the stage, it got her sexual Electricity, transparency, higher than we will ever be I am loving our chemistry
Over the weekend, a Drake song leaked online that had rap fans buzzing. He was under fire from seemingly all directions after Future and Metro Boomin dropped two collaborative albums. Across the two records Drizzy was hit with multiple disses from a number of former collaborators. So when an alleged response track hit the internet fans broke down every single line. That also included a massive debate online as to whether or not the track was even real. Many pointed out that with the increased proficiency of artificial intelligence it would be easy to fake a song.
But most people now agree that the leak is legitimate and cite some of the specifically impressive bars from the song as evidence. In a recent Instagram post, DJ Akademiks unpacked one particular lyric that may have gone over some fans heads. He explained that the bar “Drizzy Chip n’ Dale, probably got your bitch Chanel” is referencing the fact that Chip & Dale constantly outsmart Pluto on their TV show. In the comments, fans are blown away by Drake’s writing. “this n*gga is incredible” one comment reads. “That’s a fire bar ngl” another agrees. Check out all the fan reactions to the bar below.
While fans have been pretty impressed with Drake’s response, DJ Akademiks did offer one piece of advice. He pointed out a specific reference to Kendrick Lamar’s wife Whitney Alford that appears in the leaked song. Akademiks pointed out that mentioning Pusha T’s wife during their beef was exactly what caused Push to drop the legendary “Story Of Adidon” diss track.
Additionally the leaked Drake responses caused many to realize how relevant AI will be going forward. The rapper himself officially confirmed that another song making the rounds online was actually created by AI and not him. What do you think about Drake’s Chip N’ Dale bar referencing Pluto to take shots at Future? Do you think he managed to come out on top over his various adversaries with his response track? Let us know in the comment section below.
50 Cent was loving Kesha’s decision to diss Diddy at Coachella. He shared a clip of her performance on Instagram, Sunday, and joked that Diddy will theorize he told her to do so. While performing her iconic track, “TiK ToK,” with Reneé Rapp, she changed up the lyric: “Wake up in the mornin’ feelin’ like P Diddy.” Instead, she replaced the final words with, “f*ck P Diddy.”
“LOL she said [middle finger emoji] Fvck P DIDDY, HAHAAHAHA [eyeball emoji] PUFFY LIKE 50 TOLD HER TO SAY THAT!” 50 wrote on Instagram. Fans shared plenty of laughs in the comments section. “The devil works hard, but 50 works even harder,” one user wrote. Another commented: “Bc nobody wants to wake up in the morning feelin’ like P Diddy right now.”

It wasn’t the first time Kesha had changed the lyrics either. Following Cassie’s lawsuit back in November, which served as the tipping point for countless more suits in the time since, Kesha sang, “Wake up in the morning feeling just like me!” while performing on her Only Love Tour in Oakland. In addition to the lawsuits, Homeland Security agents raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation, last month. Diddy has denied all of the claims against him and has yet to face any charges. His lawyer, Aaron Dyers, labeled the raids on his properties a “gross overuse of military-level force” in a statement at the time.
Throughout the drama, 50 has been relentless in his trolling of Diddy over the situation. He’s even working on a documentary to detail all of the allegations against the Bad Boy mogul. Be on the lookout for further updates on 50 Cent and the allegations against Diddy on HotNewHipHop.
Summrs is a 24-year-old MC who hails from Lafayette, Louisiana. As a member of the SoundCloud era, Summrs has been steadily releasing music since 2016, with a prolific output that has sometimes resulted in the rapper dropping multiple projects per month. His latest effort, B4DaRaven, serves as a prequel mixtape for his upcoming album Tale Of Da Raven. Summrs will release Tale Of Da Raven sometime in May. The project, which was released on April 12, runs seven tracks over the course of 18 minutes. Let’s dive into the brief tracklist of B4DaRaven and examine the material therein.
The Project Starts Strong
B4DaRaven has a strong opener with “Curbside at The Ritz,” a trap banger with pulsing 808 patterns and stabby string instruments. On the song, Summers spits a few bars, updating the public on his recent misadventures, including beating cases, cutting off fake friends, and partying with fast women. The song is a pretty standard trap outing, all things considered, but it sets the tone for B4DaRaven well enough and serves as a highlight overall.
“Made Man” continues the hot streak as the young rapper describes themes of crime and extravagance in his rhymes. On this track, Summrs’s voice is characteristically drowning in autotune, though the mixing of the track lends itself to the robotic vocal effects, making it aesthetically pleasing. The upbeat cowbell-heavy drums provide a light and airy sense of weightlessness to the track, making Summrs’s confessions sound chill and laid-back.
“B4DaRaven” Hits A Lul Fast
“Situationships” is kind of a painful listen. Summrs gives his take on a number of women, referenced by first name, and why he couldn’t make a full-time relationship work with them. This song sounds like a cheap imitation of tracks like “Mambo No. 5” or Anderson Paak’s 2018 track “Sweet Chick.” Unfortunately, this song is the first major dud on the album, but not the last.
The two-hander “Sneaky Link/Love that 4 us” is clearly designed to be a focal point of B4DaRaven, with a wailing guitar solo that separates the first leg of the track from the second in an obvious attempt at replicating the success of Kanye West’s “Devil In A New Dress.” Unfortunately, the vocal performance on this one is repetitive and redundant, and mixed like you’re hearing it through a Bluetooth speaker in a plastic bag from the inside of a high school’s stairwell. Additionally, Summrs bites Lil Uzi’s vocal style so hard on this song that Uzi could probably legally demand royalties.
The Back Half Of The Tape Loses It’s Momentum
After the one-two punch of “Situationships” and “Sneaky Link/Love that 4 us,” Summrs never truly regains his footing on the project. “Drank n Sex” is as predictable as the title would suggest while offering drowned-out autotune mixing that pales in comparison to earlier songs such as “Made Man.” “In our favor” is a rare gem that offers Summr’s insight into poverty, struggle, and the American dream. Still, the track is criminally short, and offers very little time to marinate on the ideas presented in the lyrics. The final track on the tape, “Brioni shawl collar/Catfish,” sees Summrs rapping about fashion and luxury brands in a two-hander that is much better than “Sneaky Link/Love that 4 us,” but is still too little too late to save the project at this point.
B4DaRaven certainly won’t be nominated for any Grammy Awards and likely won’t appear on many “best of 2024” lists. Still, at the end of the day, this project exists mostly to build hype for Summrs’s upcoming album. While the showings on B4DaRaven offer very little on their own, they serve as passable scraps pulled from the cutting room floor to promote the rapper’s new material.
Cardi B officially announced her split with Migos rapper Offset back in December. Even though they ended their marriage, they continue co-parenting a pair of young children, born in 2018 and 2021 respectively. While the children aren’t exactly old enough to be making their own waves in the world of pop culture, the former Hollywood power couple have not shied away from sharing their kids with the world. Both Cardi B and Offset’s shared kids have even appeared in the 2023 music video for Cardi’s song “Jealousy,” which also prominently featured Offset’s three elder children from previous relationships. Let’s dive into the identities of Cardi B’s two kids and see what the public knows about them.
Kulture is Cardi B’s very first child. She was born in Atlanta in July of 2018 and has been a mainstay on both Cardi and Offset’s Instagram pages ever since. Kulture’s first name is a play on the famous Culture album trilogy by the Migos, as well as Cardi B and Offset’s continued inclusion in the culture of hip hop. Her middle name, Kiari, is the first name of Cardi B’s father, proving that the “I Like It” femcee has a penchant for being sentimental with her kids.
As a member of Cardi B’s famous family, Kulture has appeared at numerous red-carpet events and Hollywood premieres, including the May 2023 opening of The Little Mermaid. She also graces the cover of Offset’s aptly titled solo album Father of 4. As of Summer 2023, Kulture is a pre-kindergarten graduate and has stated that she intends to be a doctor when she grows up. Of course, her career path will be subject to change dozens of times before she reaches adulthood.
Continuing the sentimental naming tradition, Cardi B named her second child Wave Set Cephus. The middle name is a clear reference to his father, Offset. At the same time, “Wave” is a common hip-hop term signifying a prolific moment in time, good fortune, and success or a trend that revolutionizes everything. Wave was born in September of 2021 and is Cardi B’s only biological son as of this writing. Cardi B and Offset first announced their second pregnancy during the 2021 BET Awards, though they didn’t publicize their son’s image until he was at least seven months of age.
Obviously, not much is known about the young boy at this time, as he is only two and a half years old. If we were to guess, we’d say he’s currently really into sugary treats, stumbling his way through the room to a chorus of “aww’s” and mischievously opening and shutting cabinets.
Despite Cardi B and Offset’s breakup, Cardi has a loving and long-lasting relationship with his three kids from previous relationships. Jordan was born in 2009 to Offset’s ex, Justine Watson, while Kody and Kalea were both born in 2015 to Oriel Jamie and Shya L’amour, respectively. Offset has rapped about each of his kids and his journey of fatherhood many times, even referencing Kalea by name on the track “Father of 4.”
Stephen A. Smith has revealed who he is rocking with for NBA MVP. As the NBA playoffs are starting up, Stephen A. picked his MVP this morning on First Take. The MVP race is a three-way battle between Denver’s Nikola Jokic, Dallas’s Luka Doncic, and Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. All three have had incredible seasons leading their teams, but one guy is hands down the MVP, Stephen A.
Jokic is a two-time MVP and defending NBA champ with the number two team in the West. Luka has put up ridiculous numbers in Dallas this season, leading the Mavericks to the 5th seed. SGA has led the unlikely OKC Thunder to the 1-seed in the West, putting up ridiculous numbers in the process. It’s a tough call between the three, but votes for awards are coming in, and Stephen A. is confident in his pick. Stephen A.
Stephen A. Smith has chosen Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as his NBA MVP. Stephen A. made the case to Shannon Sharpe and Molly Qerim, citing Gilgeous-Alexander’s historic season, which was full of accomplishments. Picking over the consensus pick Jokic is befitting of Stephen A., who is known for his strong takes. Stephen A. may be proven right, depending on how things unfold in the postseason. Shai led the second-youngest roster in the league to the top spot in the tough Western Conference. Furthermore, Shai put up incredible numbers on offense, possessing one of the smoothest playstyles in the league. No one expected this so soon for OKC, and their success might mean hardware for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
The NBA MVP award has a lot of different factors tied to it. Factors include Team success and individual stats, as well as the overall narrative of the season. Shai has a great narrative, leading OKC out of nowhere into the top team in the West. Luka Doncic and, more so, Jokic are equally deserving, but Jokic already has two MVPs, and Luka’s team isn’t as good as Gilgeous Alexander. Voters might be looking for new blood to award. In any case, Stephen A.’s pick is a smart one. Only time can tell who the real MVP of a season was anyway. We will hopefully get these MVP candidates playing head-to-head in the playoffs to prove whose award it really is.
