MC Lan Announces Release Date For New Playboi Carti Collab

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 05:38 GMT

Playboi Carti is one of the most enigmatic artists in hip-hop. It's impossible to tell what he's going to do next, and even tougher to gauge when he plans to drop new music. Most of the insight fans get is from Carti's collaborators. This scarcity of information is what makes MC Lan's recent interview so interesting. The Brazilian artist revealed that he's been working closely with Playboi Carti over the last few months, and the two of them plan on releasing a joint single to coincide with the release of both of their albums. MC Lan went on the FLOW Podcast on April 23, and covered a wide away of topics over four hours. The name drop that nobody mentioned, though, was Carti. MC Lan claimed that he's been working with lots of U.S. talent, and the "Magnolia" rapper was at the top of his list. He went as far as to say that he's done production work on Carti's upcoming album. "There are many American artists out there," he said. "Like the upcoming album from Playboi Carti. I can't spill much but most of the albums, the ones I'm in touch with... I have a hand in it, I have a finger in it."

He also said they have a collab dropping on May 23rd - for his own album

pic.twitter.com/jlrI49PxH4 — NFR Podcast (@nfr_podcast) April 24, 2024 MC Lan then stated that Carti will be appearing on his upcoming album in return. There was no word about a title or release date for the album, but he announced that their joint single will be dropping on May 23. Carti hasn't commented on Lan's claims, but then again, he usually has very little to say about release dates and concrete rollouts. He has, however, been teasing his upcoming album, titled MUSIC, since 2022. The premise behind the title, according to Carti's interview with XXL Magazine, is to push beyond genre conventions and mix in different styles. He doesn't want to make hip-hop or rage music, he just wants to make music. "[I'll] name my album MUSIC because that's where I'm at," he reasoned. "Because that's all it is at this point." Carti's willingness to work with MC Lan, a pioneer in Brazilian funk music, displays this desire to experiment. Fans will find out soon enough whether Lan's claims are legit.

Common Hypes Up New Album With Pete Rock: "It's In My Top"

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 04:52 GMT

Common has classics. The Chicago emcee has managed the rare feat of staying relevant across multiple decades, and part of why he's been able to do so is his ear. Common picks great producers to work with, and the results usually speak for themselves (with the occasional Universal Mind Control hiccup). This is why his comments regarding his upcoming album are so exciting. Com Sense revealed that he's been in the studio with Pete Rock, and the stuff they're cooking up is evidently up there with the best music of their respective careers. Common divulged this exciting development during a MusiCares panel in Santa Monica on April 22. He appeared alongside fellow Chicago luminary Lupe Fiasco, and was asked to rank his three best albums. Common's answers were dead on as far as general consensus goes. He chose Be (2005) and Like Water for Chocolate (2000) as the top two, but he paused before picking the last one. Read More: Common Takes Drake's Side In Yasiin Bey Beef Common Is "Excited" For Fans To Hear It Common ranks his top 3 albums... 1.) Like Water For Chocolate 2.) Be 3.) Resurrection (but says his new one with Pete Rock might be his best) pic.twitter.com/l0XKlQK2lH — Andrew Barber (@fakeshoredrive) April 23, 2024 His rationale was that his upcoming album contains some of his favorite music ever. "Y'all gon' think I'm just talking," he prefaced. "But [I want to pick] this new Pete Rock joint. I'ma see y'all when I come back, whenever I'm back, and y'all can tell me if I'm bullsh*ttin' or not." Com went on to say that the untitled album has received stellar feedback from the few who have heard it. "It's in my top," he asserted. "I've had a couple people coming in saying, 'Yo, this is one of your best albums.' So I'm excited about it." Since the new one isn't out yet, Common relented and picked Resurrection (1994) as his third best album. Common and Pete Rock haven't crossed paths as often as one would assume. They collaborated on "Tha Bizness" off De La Soul's 1996 album, and "Verbal Murder 2" off Rock's 1998 joint Soul Survivor. Their most famous song together, however, is 1994's "The B*tch In Yoo." It was a diss record aimed at Ice Cube, and remains one of Common's most lyrically aggressive showcases. Common and Rock are both at different points in their career, but their track record proves they have great chemistry.

50 Cent Endorses Gucci Mane's Diddy Diss: "That's What You Get!"

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 03:32 GMT

50 Cent is not letting up. The rapper has been the propagator of the phrase "No Diddy" on social media, as a means of clowning disgraced mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. He's used it on during interviews and IG captions, but the phrase reached new levels of attention on April 24 when Gucci Mane dropped the song "TakeDat." Gucci goes at the Bad Boy founder for four minutes straight by saying "No Diddy" after every line, and 50 absolutely loved it. He was such a fan of Gucci's diss, in fact, that he reposted it on his own Instagram profile with an endorsement. "Oh sh*t," 50 wrote in the caption. "Wop took dat hit. This

Diddy POPPED." Nobody has been more openly critical of Diddy than 50, especially once the criminal allegations started to roll in. He posted pics from the raid on Diddy's house in March, and even found time to praise a woman holding a "No Diddy" sign during a ceremony in Shreveport. The "21 Questions" rapper added insult to injury by talking to Diddy directly in the caption. "That's what you get f*cking wit me," he added. Fans flocked to the comment section, suggesting that 50 hop on the "TakeDat" remix.

The track had a bar referencing the "ghost of Pookie," and 50 hopped on Instagram Live to rap along while doing his best Gucci Mane impression. 50 had previously had beef with Young Jeezy himself, so there was no love lost between rivals. 50 and Gucci, who have often been compared to one another, also collaborated on the 2013 song "Recently." The G-Unit mogul is continuing his anti-Diddy campaign behind the scenes. In December, he announced plans to release a documentary focusing on Diddy's various sexual crimes. "The Diddy documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with 50 serving as executive producer," a rep said. The proceeds from the documentary will be donated to victims of sexual assault and rape. A release date has not yet been announced.

Lil Nas X Drops Catchy Single "Trust Me" Ahead Of New Mixtape

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 02:51 GMT

Lil Nas X has really kept fans waiting. His debut album, MONTERO, was a huge breakthrough release in 2021, earning a platinum certification and three Grammy nominations. The rapper been has been quiet in subsequent years, however, despite confirming that his next release will be a sequel to his breakthrough mixtape, NASARATI. There have been leaks, teasers, and official lead singles for NASARATI 2, but 2024 seems to be the years fans will actually get to hear it. Lil Nas X's latest single, "Trust Me," only supports this theory. Lil Nas X teased "Trust Me" in March, but he finally blessed fans with the full version on April 24. The song differs drastically from the rapper's previous teaser, "Lean On My Body," which opted for a more melodic, pop-rap approach. "Trust Me," by contrast, goes for a harder, more gritty sound. This can be registered in the single artwork, which sees the often flamboyantly dressed Nas X rocking a tank top and jean shorts. The "Industry Baby" rapper focuses on his teenage years and the difficulty he had coming to terms with his sexuality. "Back in middle school, I was fiending for d*ck," he raps. "7th grade, sending my homies some pics. Daddy never knew what I did as a kid, he would've crucified me but..." Read More: Lil Nas X Net Worth 2024: Updated Wealth Of The Rapper Lil Nas X Talks About His Struggles As A Teen Watch Video on YouTube The second verse lays out Lil Nas X's struggles in the current day. He raps about health concerns, wealth goals, and his insecurities as a pop star. The transparency extends the the chorus: "Anytime I'm wrong I'll admit it, why not," he sings. "Rather tell the truth than pretend, why lie?." Nas X has always been honest with his music, and "Trust Me" is a reminder than he can do so over a simple, catchy hip-hop beat. The song is currently streaming on SoundCloud, which is where NASARATI 2 will eventually be released. What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, "Trust Me," by Lil Nas X? Does the rapper keep his hot streak going? Do you like the stripped-down approach to the production? Do you think NASARATI 2 will be Nas X's best project yet?

Usher Claims His Son Stole His Phone To DM PinkPantheress

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 02:14 GMT

Usher has a reputation for being a smooth talker. He's built an entire career on it, from his music to his effortless dance moves onstage. The R&B icon learned that he isn't the only one in the family who has game, however. He took to Instagram on April 24 to reveal that his son, Naviyd, snatched his phone so that he could slide in the DMs of his current favorite artist: PinkPantheress. The revelation would have been funny on its own, but Usher decided to document the entire incident with screenshots and quotes. Usher recounted his confusion upon realizing he had a DM interaction with someone he didn't know. "So, a week or so ago my son, Naviyd, stole my phone so he could dm his favorite artist @pinkpantheress," he wrote. "Now I just so happened to check my DMs earlier this past week and saw a message exchange from someone with a Powerpuff girl as their profile pic. So I'm like the hell is this." The R&B singer then realized what had happened when he clicked on the pic. "I open it and I'm like oh this boy done DMd this girl from my damn phone," he added. You can scroll through Naviyd's entire DM conversation below. The highlight is undoubtedly the message where Naviyd, 15, claims to have exposed his dad to Pantheress' music. "I put him onto masterpieces," he wrote with a salute emoji.

"Don't apologize," she responded. "Happy to have this interaction. I'd love to host y'all at the next show." Usher pretended that he was going to prevent his son from going to the show "because he did the MOST just to connect with her on my account," but he relented. Naviyd even got a chance to meet PinkPantheress and take photos with her backstage. The DM long shot worked out! Usher and PinkPantheress have not officially collaborated on a song, but they've been the recipient of several viral mashups on TikTok. The most popular mashup combines Usher's "Burn" with Pantheress' single "Just for Me." Usher has also praised the current generation of R&B stars. "I'm very happy that there's a new installation of R&B artists who care to be authentic to what they are creating, inspired by artists of the past," he told Billboard. "Everybody who has ever said to me that R&B is dead sounds crazy." Read More: How Many Times Has Usher Been Married?

Logic Announces "Ultra 85" Novel To Coincide With His New Album

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 00:51 GMT

Logic is a conceptual dude. His second album, The Incredible True Story, was about a group of friends flying around the universe in spaceship. His third album, Everybody, was about a man who died and was subsequently reincarnated in different bodies. The Maryland rapper has kept it simple since he came out of retirement. His latest project, however, has restored some of his ambition. Ultra 85, the upcoming Logic album, will coincide with the release of a novel of the same name. Logic confirmed the existence of the novel via Instagram on April 24. He not treated fans to what the cover art looked like, but provided some context for the novel (and presumably, the album). "In the year 2115, when the Earth is no longer inhabitable, the remainder of humanity lives in Babel, a giant space station," he wrote in the caption. "Two pilots, Quentin and Kai, must find the planet Paradise, where only the most promising citizens are allowed to live." The rapper explained that his main characters will be forced to confront the fact that "Paradise" is not all it's cracked up to be. Read More: Big Sean, Logic, & More Trend As Fans Debate Worst Bars Of All Time Logic's Novel Will Conclude A Long-Running Story View this post on Instagram A post shared by Logic (@logic) The plot details for Ultra 85 confirms that it will be a sequel to The Incredible True Story and Everybody. It will mark the completion of the titular story, nearly a decade later. Ultra 85 will also be the second time Logic pairs an album up with a companion novel. He released the novel Supermarket in 2017, which came with a titular album in which Logic explored the rock and punk genres. The latter was panned by most critics, but the novel was actually given positive notices. Ultra 85 is currently available for pre-order on Simon & Schuster. It will be released on September 17. Fans have flocked to the comment section to speculate whether the accompanying album will drop on the same day. Both the Supermarket album and novel dropped on March 26, 2019, so it stands to reason the rapper would trot out a similar rollout for Ultra 85. Logic previously claimed that Ultra 85 would be his last album, but he's since clarified his statement. He told a Reddit user during a Q&A that he will always make music, but that Ultra 85 will be his last album under the "Logic" moniker. The rapper first teased Ultra 85 back in 2018, though it has gone through several iterations since. The second single from the album, "44ever," was released April 19.

Tokyo Toni Slams Megan Thee Stallion & Cardi B In New Freestyle

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 00:00 GMT

Tokyo Toni is someone who never fails to keep her followers entertained, and her latest freestyle is certainly no exception. Earlier this week, the iconic mother of Angela White, FKA Blac Chyna, took to social media to spit some bars for her fans. As expected, she threw plenty of shade along the way, namely towards Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B. The Finding Love ASAP star is known to have issues with Cardi, as she's both a fan and friend of one of the femcee's longtime rivals, Nicki Minaj. During Nicki's infamous feud with Meg after the drop of "Hiss," she also sided with the "FTCU" performer. She's since accused Cardi B of stealing her look and sneak dissing her, and slammed any Meg supporter to cross her path.

"Nicki Minaj, shout-out," she rhymes. "Cardi B lost out. Megan thotted out." Clearly, Tokyo Toni isn't dodging any kind of smoke these days. It's to be seen whether or not either of the rappers will respond. Fortunately for them, they're in good company, as the reality star has also previously dissed Beyonce, Karlissa Saffold, and many more. She even recently went after Rick Ross in another freestyle, calling the hitmaker a "fat bald b*tch." "Maybach Music? What the f**k is that?" Tokyo also rapped. "The ni**a's a rat / He got the police friends and that." What do you think of Tokyo Toni's new freestyle? What about her dissing Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B? Are you surprised?

MGK Avoids Taylor Swift Question Because He Doesn't Want "Smoke" With Swifties

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 23:42 GMT

MGK has spent most of his career battling other artists. He's aimed confrontational bars at the likes of Jack Harlow, G-Eazy, and most famously, Eminem. He hasn't always come out on top (most fans think Eminem took his head off), but that's beside the point. The bottom line is that he's shown a willingness to get in the ring when he has an issue with someone. It may be due of this reputation that MGK clarified he has no problem with Taylor Swift. The rapper-turned-rock star stated, unequivocally, that he doesn't want to suffer the ire of "Swifties." The topic came about during a recent episode of the YouTube series First We Feast. MGK and Trippie Redd took turns giving each other difficult prompts, and the former got a doozy involving Swift. Redd dared MGK to name three negative things about the "Antihero" singer. "You offered to pay $1 million if Travis Kelce would come play for the Cleveland Browns," the rapper noted. "Burn that bridge by saying three mean things about Taylor Swift." MGK immediately rejected the prompt, despite Redd's teasing. "Jesus Christ, I just - bro, she's very nice," MGK asserted. "She's very, very nice."

Redd's teasing continued, which spurred MGK to state his reasoning. "Ladies and gentleman," he stated. You've got to be out of your muthaf**king mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase." MGK's unadulterated support continued: "Also, Taylor is a saint and she's very nice to me." MGK's fandom is not surprising, given that he was pictured partying alongside Swift and Kelce at the Super Bowl. The "Tickets to My Downfall" singer was also seen attending Swift's "Eras Tour" in August 2023. MGK and Trippie Redd recently dropped the collab EP Genre: Sadboy. The former made his name in the world of pop-punk over the last couple years, but he recently told Audacy that he's going to be returning to rap music. "I'm going to make a rap album for myself," he announced. "For no other reason, no point to prove, no chip on my shoulder... If I keep doing things to prove things to people, I'm going to, one, drive myself crazy and, two, not make a good product."

Kanye West Officially Announces "Yeezy P*rn," Adam22 Thinks Bianca Censori Shouldn't Get Involved

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 23:07 GMT

It's no secret that Kanye West is a man of many endeavors, and recently, reports surfaced claiming he'll be adding yet another to the list. According to TMZ, Ye plans to open a brand new "Yeezy porn" studio as early as this summer. He's teaming up with Stormy Daniels' ex Mike Moz for the unexpected venture. Ye shared the news officially on his YouTube channel today, alongside a brief message. While Ye appears to be on his way to breaking new ground, not all of his fans are thrilled about it. Amid the reports, he's received a great deal of backlash online. Religious supporters, and those who recall him admitting to having a porn addiction, continue to criticize him for the bold move. According to Adam22, however, he could have a positive impact on the industry as a whole. Kanye West Says Adult Content Is On The Way Watch Video on YouTube During a recent interview with TMZ, the No Jumper host weighed in on the reports of Ye's new venture. He also offered the mogul some words of advice. "The main thing that I think that Kanye could bring to the porn world, aside from just more eyeballs, would just be him sort of adding to the aesthetic component," he explained. "Cuz if you look at the brands that have come out over the years that have really kind of changed things in terms of porn, I think just like creating new imagery and like changing up the visuals. Cuz porn does tend to get kind of stale," he also added.

Drake Claims He's Been Waiting "10 Years" For Kendrick Lamar Battle

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 23:06 GMT

Drake versus Kendrick Lamar has been a long time coming. They were the defining rappers of the 2010s, and they even featured on each other's classic albums. Nothing was the same, however, after K. Dot put out the "Control" verse and referenced Drake by name in 2013. They have have been subliminally dissing each other ever since, which makes the sudden explosion of diss tracks and blatant call-outs so exciting. The gloves are finally off, and one of them could not be more eager to engage in full-on battle. DJ Akademiks has become the unofficial mouthpiece for Drake throughout the Lamar feud. The online personality has broken news on his live streams and updated fans with messages from the 6 God. He continued to do so during a recent episode of his Off the Record podcast. Akademiks clarified that he doesn't share every text exchange he has with Drake, but felt that the rapper's comments about Lamar warranted reporting. He told the other guests on the show that Drake has been waiting for "10 years" to battle Lamar, and is hopeful his opponent rises to the challenge. Read More: DJ Akademiks Thinks Drake's New Kendrick Lamar Diss (Almost) Seals The Deal DJ Akademiks Says Drake Wants A "Showdown" Now Dj Akademiks Says Drake told him "He has been waiting for this Back N Forth with Kendrick Lamar for 10 Years"

pic.twitter.com/KgnQuz5gOv — POLO WORLD (@Billionairepolo) April 24, 2024 DJ Akademiks relayed Drake's frustration with K. Dot and his pattern of dropping combative verses and then going away. "[Drake's] watched the pattern," Ak noted. "Like he specifically told me, 'I've watched this guy do the same bait and switch every time. He drops like a verse that people are hyped up about. I'm always ready to engage, always ready to defend myself, and then [Lamar] goes ghost and nothing happens." Akademiks then referenced the diss track that K. Dot has allegedly been writing for several years, and inferred that Drake's desire to engage is what has fueled his trolling via social media posts and diss tracks. "You can tell [Drake] wants the showdown to happen now," Ak added. "Not for everybody to go back to their corners and reconvene another time. He wants it now." Drake's constant trolling could not be more different in approach to Lamar, who has been silent since he dropped the "Like That" verse. Fans have debated which approach has been more effective thus far, but a decisive winner can't be decided until Lamar decides to come out of hiding and drop a response to Drake's "Push Ups."

Kanye West To Have Posthumous Takeoff Verse On "VULTURES 2" Track "LET ME CHILL OUT"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 21:25 GMT

Kanye West has been in the headlines for all sorts of things over the weekend and throughout the week. He recently dissed Drake on an official remix of Metro Boomin and Future's "Like That," that was blocked by Sony on YouTube. Additionally, the Georgia multi-hyphenate is looking to start up a Yeezy adult film production company, which has been dividing fans. The third bombshell is that he announced the release date for the long-awaited VULTURES 2. Ye said that it will be out on May 3, but if we have learned anything from him, it is that we need to take anything he says about his music with a grain of salt. Now, we have come to learn that Kanye West will be adding a posthumous verse from Takeoff. The original report comes from Rolling Stone, who confirmed the news in a written piece just hours ago. Fans have been waiting an extra two months almost for the sequel to VULTURES, after the release schedule for the trilogy originally had it dropping on March 8. Even more maddening for Ye die-hards is that the final entry was due on April 5. But nonetheless, fans should have more hope for this to come to fruition since Kanye announced this news himself.

pic.twitter.com/jUYBUzL6tV — Kurrco (@Kurrco) April 24, 2024 As for this Takeoff track, it is titled "LET ME CHILL OUT," at least for now. This is huge news on its own, since there have not been many posthumous Takeoff verses officially out there. But there are two other names in the mix for this song too. Rich The Kid will be making a return to the VULTURES scene, after scoring a huge feature on "CARNIVAL." Maybe the most shocking of them all is NBA YoungBoy. He is currently dealing with a ton of legal issues, but this song was definitely in the works prior to his recent arraignment. In a tweet from Kurrco, you can hear a 20-second snippet of the song. What are your thoughts on Kanye West tapping Rich The Kid, NBA YoungBoy, and getting a posthumous Takeoff verse for "LET ME CHILL OUT?" Do you think this could be the best song from VULTURES 2? Do you see Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign actually dropping the album on May 3? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

It's no secret that Ice Spice is killing it these days, impressing her fans with her Coachella performances this month and gearing up to drop her new album, Y2K. While the Bronx-born baddie isn't dropping new music or showing off her moves onstage, she frequently gives fans a glimpse at her life on social media.

"Ice spice having an android is so turnoff," one Twitter/X user wrote yesterday, sparking a major debate. Now, other users are weighing in on the femcee's device of choice. While some agree that she should get an iPhone, others are coming to her defense.

Interestingly enough, it appears as though she actually has an iPhone too. In several of her Instagram posts, she's seen holding it, so she may alternate between devices. Either way, a lot of commenters aren't happy, and luckily it's mostly due to the backlash she's receiving. "Ice Spice is viral all because she has an ANDROID?!?!?! You mfs really need to reevaluate life lmao that's ins*ne," one Twitter/X user writes. "Why do people actually care what kind of phones people have??" another wonders. She's yet to address the backlash surrounding her Android phone selfie. Ice Spice Fans Defend Her Amid Android Outrage What do you think of Ice Spice seemingly having an Android phone?

Billie Eilish Details Coming To Terms With Her Sexuality: "I Realized I Wanted My Face In A Vagina"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:04 GMT

Billie Eilish spoke at length about her sexuality during a new interview with Rolling Stone, admitting several details about her masturbation habits and her journey to discovering her attraction to women. The conversation arose when Eilish admitted sex is one of the primary ways she decompresses. "I basically talk about sex any time I possibly can," she explained. "That's literally my favorite topic." From there, she complained about how the expression of feminine sexuality can be a frowned-upon topic in society. Getting more candid, she added that "self-pleasure is an enormous, enormous part of my life," and revealed it has helped her overcome body image issues. "I should have a Ph.D. in masturbation," she joked.

(Christina House / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) Eilish also discussed the sensual track, "Lunch," from her upcoming album, Hit Me Hard and Soft. "That song was actually part of what helped me become who I am, to be real," Eilish said. "I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after. I've been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn't understand - until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a vagina. I was never planning on talking about my sexuality ever, in a million years. It's really frustrating to me that it came up." Billie Eilish Poses For "Rolling Stone" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rolling Stone (@rollingstone) Eilish previously revealed her attraction to women during an interview with Variety, last fall, but later admitted she didn't intend to do so. In turn, she complained about the outlet outing her in a post on Instagram afterward. These days, she regrets the post and admits she overreacted. "Who f*cking cares?" she said. "The whole world suddenly decided who I was, and I didn't get to say anything or control any of it. Nobody should be pressured into being one thing or the other, and I think that there's a lot of wanting labels all over the place. Dude, I've known people that don't know their sexuality, or feel comfortable with it, until they're in their forties, fifties, sixties. It takes a while to find yourself, and I think it's really unfair, the way that the internet bullies you into talking about who you are and what you are."

Most fans have no idea what's actually going on behind-the-scenes in the music industry. Because of that, they can often speculate occasionally quite wildly on how the strings could be secretly being pulled. Sometimes that comes in the form of new artists who rapidly gain massive popularity being labelled as industry plants. Other times fans suspect that supposed conflicts and storylines are set-up For years there's been rumors among fans that the alleged infidelity that led to Beyonce's Lemonade and Jay-Z's 4:44 was faked, though there's no evidence for it. During a recent podcast appearance though, DaBaby got fans wondering about fake rap beef all over again. 2024 has been a major year for rap beef already. Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj kicked things off earlier in the year while Kendrick Lamar and Drake have taken over as the biggest beef around right now. Though there hasn't been many allegations of faking it being thrown around, it has resulted in a major spike in popularity for all involved, including Kendrick's original diss track "Like That" spending three weeks at the top of the Hot 100. DaBaby hasn't been involved in any major rap beefs this year but during a recent podcast appearance he explained how one almost came to be. Check out the clips of his explanation below.

He claims that the rapper in question had observed the spike in popularity from Kendrick and J. Cole's beef and wanted to start a staged beef to capitalize. As one of the hosts mentions, they would be friends in private but beefing in public. What do you think of DaBaby's claims that a well known rapper tried to start a fake beef with him?

Amanda Seales Checks Shannon Sharpe For Downplaying Her Racist Bullying Experience

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 19:59 GMT

Amanda Seales is someone who never shies away from sharing her beliefs. The comedian, actress, dancer, and social justice advocate frequently weighs in on struggles the Black community faces. She's also been a vocal critic of prominent Black spaces, accusing them of leaving her out and failing to recognize her for her work. While this has earned Seales a loyal fanbase, it's also earned her a great deal of backlash. Regardless, she continues to speak her mind. It was Seales' outspokenness that made her the perfect guest to appear on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay this week, and as expected, the episode arrived with no shortage of interesting moments. At one point in the interview, for example, Seales recalled one of her first-ever encounters with racism. She detailed the troubling experience, which saw her get bullied and harassed by a group of non-Black peers as a child during a trip to Walt Disney World. Read More: Amanda Seales Reacts To Article Slamming Her For Calling Out Black Hollywood: "You Will Not Break Me" Amanda Seales On Club Shay Shay View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) As Seales reflected on being called the N-word, being told she only got the opportunity because she's Black, and more, Sharpe chimed in. "They're kids," he said, leaving Seales in a state of disbelief. "As a child, you never said anything derogatory? You were just this model citizen as a child?" She was quick to respond, making it clear that she was there to share her own experiences and how they've impacted her, and certainly not to defend her childhood bullies. "So you have no problem with the children that were cursing out Ruby Bridges?" she began. "And the Little Rock Nine?" Check out her full rebuttal above.

Drake's Rigorous Tour Schedule Has Joe Budden Suspicious, Fans Remind Him It's Been Five Years

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:42 GMT

Since July of last year, Drake has been making his way around North America on his It's All A Blur tour. He was first joined by 21 Savage, and teamed up with J. Cole for the latest leg. His run with Cole saw him perform in over 80 cities, and combined with all the rap beef he's currently involved in, undoubtedly left him exhausted. According to Joe Budden, the hitmaker's relentless tour schedule is confusing to him, and may indicate that there's something going on behind the scenes. During a recent episode of his podcast, Budden said there's no way Drake wants to tour as much as he has been, and must be doing it because he's contractually obligated to. He believes that this means his deal is either amazing, horrible, or both at the same time. "Whatever he got with Universal, I don't trust it," he explained. "I do not trust that big headline that went out about $400M, $500M a year."

"I've been saying it, and every time I say it nobody pays me any mind. That's funny and it's weird. It's wrong. Nobody at his level tours that much, you don't. Unless you have to do it, unless you're on the hook... They're working him." Budden's claims have sparked quite a reaction among social media users. They're now reminding him that Drizzy's co-headlining tour with Migos was in 2018, over five years ago, and arguing that his tour schedule seems pretty reasonable to them. "His last tour was after Scorpion in 2018," one user writes. "Bruh he ain't even toured since 2018," another says. What do you think of Joe Budden's take on Drake's tour schedule? What about him claiming that he either got an amazing deal, a horrible one, or both? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:34 GMT

Weekend 2 of Coachella wrapped up a few days ago marking the end of one of the biggest music festivals around and the beginning of festival season in the US. The event was headlined by Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat, and Tyler, The Creator. Each of them delivered massive performances on both weekends. There was talent littered throughout the lineup from top to bottom. That included a number of standout rap moments from the likes of Ice Spice, Lil Uzi Vert, Coi Leray, and more. Each weekend also features special surprise performers who were only announced at the last minute. Weekend one featured indie band Vampire Weekend who didn't disappoint. They made for one of the festival's oddest moments bringing Paris Hilton on stage with them. For weekend two, Kid Cudi was the special guest, though now he probably wishes he hadn't joined the fest last minute. At the end of a set that delighted fans, Cudi jumped off the stage. That's where the problems began as the jump actually resulted in the rapper and singer breaking his foot. He took to social media later in the day to reveal to fans what had happened.

Kanye West x The Download: 5 Takeaways From Ye's Interview With Justin LaBoy

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:27 GMT

Kanye West's quickly become a talking point in the last few days after coming for Drake on the blood-pumping "Like That Remix." The rap icon recently sat with Justin LaBoy for a pumped-up, inaugural episode of The Download. On the show, Ye, in true fashion, let out more than a couple of bombshells. Altogether, the interview was marked by a few outlandish moments and comments that only someone like Ye could be behind. For example, he tagged Kai Cenat an industry plant for criticizing the sizing of Yeezy's latest drop but that's probably the least bizarre Kanye West comment in the entire The Download episode. He also labeled Chris Brown a "God," insisted homophobic jokes have less impact today, and even declared Michelle Obama as the woman he'd have a threesome with. Overall, the entire episode was Kanye being Kanye, and the following moments are the most noteworthy. Read More: Kanye West Claims He Washed Drake And Kendrick Lamar 5. Ye Comes For J. Cole View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks) Ye and J. Cole were not necessarily feuding in the past, but it's pretty obvious that Kanye West isn't a fan. As soon as Justin LaBoy brought up Cole's polarizing apology to K. Dot, Ye swiftly interjected. "F*ck all that p*ssy shit!" he said. Considering Ye and Drake's ongoing beef, it's clear to see why the former felt that Cole going on tour with Drake was him picking sides. However, Kanye's later comments allow us to trace the hostility back to 2016. Specifically, back to Cole's track "False Prophets," which is widely believed to be about West and his mental health issues over the years. Some of Ye's digs at Cole on the episode include: "n*gga you can't run now," "you can't say UP and Cole in the same sentence," and finally, "I don't even listen to J. Cole." 4. Ye's Favorite Rappers At The Moment Kanye West also took the time out to share his love for his younger players in the rap game. When asked by Justin LaBoy who his favorite rappers are at the moment, Ye shared that the lineup keeps changing. However, he mentioned that 21 Savage and Kodak Black are doing it for him at the moment. He also mentioned the rising star Young Moose and spoke very highly of Playboi Carti and his career trajectory. 3. Kanye Vs. Drake Kanye says everybody was "energized" about the "elimination" of Drake when making 'Like That (Remix)' "Pluto called me, I went to the studio and laid that. [...] Everybody was very, very excited about the elimination of Drake. Not excited - we was energized." pic.twitter.com/qNecys2Bvy — Kurrco (@Kurrco) April 22, 2024 Scattered through the episode of The Download is Kanye West's obvious disdain for all things Drake. He spoke about feeling "energized" to eliminate Drake. However, Ye said it was much more than that. "I'm tired of this n*gga fucking with me and all that shit," he said. "It's not just about the elimination of Drake, we're gonna tear the head off whoever they got that they thought was in control." 2. Ye Debuts The "Like That Remix" One of the most important moments on Kanye West's episode of The Download was obviously the premiere of the "Like That Remix." The track's opener featured a raging Ye, who declared he was backing Kendrick Lamar up in the ongoing rap beef. "You know we had to get The Hooligans up here / We gone take this p*ssy n*gga out / Yo, Dot, I got you." As fans continue to clamor for Kendrick's response to Drake's disses, Ye is the latest fighter to step into the ring. Read More: Kanye West Drops Official "Like That" Remix, Disses Drake & J Cole 1.

Rick Ross & His New Girlfriend Party On Boat Amid Drake Feud

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:04 GMT

As of late, Rick Ross has been wrapped up in an online feud with none other than Drake. This was recently prompted by the latter's "Push Ups" diss track. For the most part, Drizzy went after the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, and more, but Ross did catch a couple of strays. On the track, the Toronto-born performer criticized him for jumping into rap beef at his age. He also suggested that all of Ross' chart-toppers were thanks to him. This has resulted in the two trading various jabs publicly, and headlines for whatever shade they throw the other's way. This week, however, Rick Ross decided to take a much-needed break to step out with his latest love interest, Paige Imani. In various fun clips and photos posted on her Instagram Story, they're seen cruising around on a boat. Despite the whole Drake debacle, they looked unbothered as can be.

Imani even showed off what appears to be a new tattoo on her neck of Ross' first name, William. Fortunately, it doesn't look like the new couple will be letting any drama get in the way of their good time, no matter which direction it's coming from. On top of Rozay's rap beef, he and Imani have been subject to quite a bit of criticism for showing off their romance. This is largely due to the fact that it was only a couple of months ago that he parted ways with Cristina Mackey. They dated for around six months before calling it quits, with Mackey confirming the news at the beginning of March. What do you think of Rick Ross stepping out with his latest love interest, Paige Imani, amid his feud with Drake? Do you think they make a good couple?

Kevin Porter Jr. Is Playing In Greece Following Domestic Violence Charges

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:02 GMT

Kevin Porter Jr. has not been in the NBA since he was arrested and charged with assault and strangulation. Porter allegedly attacked and strangled WNBA player and then-girlfriend Kysre Gondrezick in September of 2023. Gondrezick was sent to the hospital after the incident, where she was treated for a laceration to her face and neck pain from strangulation. Porter Jr. does not currently have an NBA contract and is not on any roster in the league. The Houston Rockets traded him to the Oklahoma City Thunder in October of last year. Porter was immediately cut. Porter Jr. will remain out of the league for the foreseeable future. The guard has recently been seen playing professionally in Europe. Porter has fallen a long way since signing an NBA deal worth $80 million dollars. Porter Jr. was always a player with a lot of personal baggage. There were red flags when he was in college at USC. His stint in Clevland showed promise, but he was too much of a problem in the locker room. Porter Jr. had previously been charged with illegal handling of a firearm in 2020. Now he is playing ball in Greece, and fans have some thought.

The biggest rap beef of the year continues to take dramatic twists and turns while roping in more and more of the genre's biggest stars. Tracking each development along the way has been various rap media figures like Joe Budden. After Kendrick Lamar started it by taking shots at J. Cole and Drake last month there's been a series of responses. Cole clapped back with a track called "7 Minute Drill" on a surprise mixtape called Might Delete Later. The tape lived up to its name as Cole apologized for the diss track just a few days after dropping it and eventually removed the song from streaming services entirely. Right out of the gate, Kanye West was involving himself in the beef. While fans were discussing the original song "Like That" he took to Instagram to comment on the beef. Rather than taking sides, he elevated himself above everyone in the beef claiming he washed Kendrick Lamar on their collaboration "No More Parties In LA" and washed Drake and the Larry Hoover Benefit Concert they played together.

Now after the release of West's version, Joe Budden shared his thoughts on the song and West inserting himself into the beef.

Drake Threatened With Lawsuit From Tupac's Estate Following Release Of "Taylor Made Freestyle"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 16:41 GMT

Drake recently came through with a second diss track on Kendrick Lamar called "Taylor Made Freestyle." Overall, this new track features AI vocals from Tupac and Snoop Dogg. Although Snoop seemed to approve, Tupac never had an opportunity to do so. This has led to a debate one whether or not such a thing should have been authorized. After all, Tupac was a legend whom Kendrick admired greatly. Furthermore, Tupac is a legend of hip-hop and fans felt like Drake was way out of line. Now, according to Billboard, Drake has been hit with a cease & desist from Tupac's estate. A litigator for the estate, Howard King, sent the letter to Drake, noting that he must take the song down in 24 hours. If he does not, they will "pursue all of its legal remedies" against him. This is extremely serious, and it is clear that Tupac's family is livid with Drake for his song.

(Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images) "The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac's voice and personality," King wrote in the letter. "Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac's publicity and the estate's legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use." King also went on to say: "The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupac's voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult." Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe Drake will take the song down? Moreover, will taking down this song create a good precedent against AI art? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Big Sean Is Fed Up Of Twitter And Its Newfound Horniness

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 16:25 GMT

Big Sean is an artist who understands how important social media can be when it comes to promoting one's music. Unfortunately, some social media platforms have actively gotten worse. Overall, there are also some social media platforms that appear to be under attack from the United States government. Looking at you, TikTok. However, nothing can match the downfall of Twitter, which is now known as X. Ever since Elon Musk purchased the platform, it has gone down the drain. The user experience is truly awful, and it is full of edge lords. Perhaps the worst part about Twitter right now, is the sheer abundance of ridiculous bots. These bots are pornographic in nature, as they are constantly promoting OnlyFans pages. Ultimately, the spam has gotten a bit overbearing, and user of the app have had enough. This is especially true when you consider how Musk had made it a part of his mandate to get rid of such bots. Instead, the problem has only gotten worse. Recently, Big Sean took to Twitter to lament this fact. Read More: Big Sean Is On Point With New Single "Precision" Big Sean Speaks Out Its hornier than pornhub on here, sheesh.

Funny enough, the rapper ended up restricting who could reply to the tweet. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster in the replies. It just speaks to how Twitter is failing right now, and artists as well as the average person, are taking notice.

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 16:18 GMT

Artists having creative disagreements with their labels is a tale as old as time. Almost any artist who has been in the music business long enough probably has an example of a time they had to fight back against their label. Earlier this year, Coi Leray announced that she had moved on from Republic Records after dropping two projects on the label in 2023. Since then, she's been releasing singles on Island Records which appears to be her new home going forward. In a recent video she shared to social media, Coi discussed why she parted ways with Republic. Following the underwhelming sales of her album Coi, the label didn't believe in her follow-up EP Blue Moon. She claims that they refused to put money behind an advertising budget for the project, forcing Coi to pay for it herself. She also revealed that they pushed her to make pop records like Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande. The creative disagreement eventually led to the two sides splitting up. Check out the full video of her explanation below.

Joe Biden Signs "TikTok Ban" Bill Into Law: Details

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 15:56 GMT

President Joe Biden has signed a bill into law that gives TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, 270 days to sell the platform. If they do not comply, TikTok will be effectively banned from U.S. app stores and from internet hosting services. However, if the U.S. government feels the company is making appropriate steps made toward a sale as the closing of the window approaches, Biden can extend the deadline another 90 days. The bill has support from far more politicians than just Biden. 79 Senators voted for it and 18 against it. "For years we've allowed the Chinese Communist party to control one of the most popular apps in America... that was dangerously short-sighted," Republican Senator Marco Rubio said, according to BBC. "A new law is going to require its Chinese owner to sell the app. This is a good move for America."

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 23: TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew prepares to testify before the House Energy and Commerce. Committee in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill on March 23, 2023 in Washington, DC. The hearing was a rare opportunity for lawmakers to question the leader of the short-form social media video app about the company's relationship with its Chinese owner, ByteDance, and how they handle users' sensitive personal data. Some local, state and federal government agencies have been banning use of TikTok by employees, citing concerns about national security. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) TikTok plans to counter the U.S.'s move with legal action of its own. "We believe the facts and the law are clearly on our side, and we will ultimately prevail," the company said in a statement. "The fact is, we have invested billions of dollars to keep U.S. data safe and our platform free from outside influence and manipulation. This ban would devastate seven million businesses and silence 170 million Americans." In turn, an effective ban on TikTok will likely take significantly longer to come to fruition than Biden intends. Experts have told the BBC it could take years before the case makes its way through the Supreme Court. Shou Zi Chew Speaks Out TikTok CEO Shou Chew responds to the bill that could ban the app: "Make no mistake, this is a ban, a ban of TikTok and a ban on you and your voice." "Rest assured, we aren't going anywhere." pic.twitter.com/qElI8JvY0D — philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) April 24, 2024 The deadline for the sale of TikTok is set for January 19, 2025.

Swedish rapper Bladee has been on quite a tear as of late. The prolific 10-year veteran has gotten off to a strong start in 2024.

NBA News: League Confirms Refs Made Multiple Mistakes In Game 2 Of Knicks-Sixers

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 15:56 GMT

The playoff matchup between the New York Knicks and the Philidelphia 76ers has been a rollercoaster of emotions, particularly for the Sixers fans. Game two was a nail-biter, featuring one of the most intense and dramatic endings to an NBA playoff game in recent memory. The Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson, staged a miraculous comeback, much to the dismay of the Sixers. The Sixers felt the officials played a crucial part in their defeat. The Knicks emerged victorious with a score of 104-101, setting Madison Square Garden ablaze. 76ers superstar Joel Embiid's frustration was palpable as he openly criticized the officials post-game. The 76ers looked like they were going to be able to close out the game against the Knicks easily. The sequence that has caused the Sixers to file an official grievance with the league started with a Brunson 3-pointer. Now up by 3 points, the Sixers have their inbound pass tipped, leading to a Tyrese Maxey turnover, which leads to a missed 3-pointer by Donte DiVincenzo. Divacenzo misses the three, but the Knicks get the rebound, and the Sharpshooter gets another look and drains it. The Knicks went on to win the game, but controversy surrounds the dramatic victory.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 22: Jalen Brunson #11 of the New York Knicks goes to the basket against Kelly Oubre Jr. #9 and Tyrese Maxey #0 of the Philadelphia 76ers during the second half in Game Two of the Eastern Conference First Round Playoffs at Madison Square Garden on April 22, 2024 in New York City. The Knicks won 104-101. (Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images) The NBA's Last two-minute report has validated Joel Embiid and the Sixers' complaints, shedding light on the crucial referee mistakes that influenced the game's outcome. The report confirms that officials overlooked an attempt by 76ers coach Nick Nurse to call a timeout. This oversight allowed the sequence at the end of the game to unfold, altering the course of the game. There was also a missed foul call with 27 seconds remaining. Brunson tugged tug Tyrese Maxey's jersey on the inbound, a move that led to the Knicks gaining possession and, ultimately, the lead. Maxey was also fouled three seconds later by Josh Hart, just before the Sixers guard lost the ball. There were officially missed calls at the end of the Sixer's loss, but they still had opportunities to close out the game. If the Sixers had been able to get the rebound on the first DiVacenzo three-pointer, the game would have been over. Also, before Maxey was fouled, fans pointed out that he had committed an offensive foul. Maxey pushed off of Jalen Brunson before the sequence. The Sixers had their chance. Missed calls happen, but you have to play through them. You can't expect the refs to bail you out of a jam. Just get the rebound, and the series is tied.

Megan Thee Stallion & Diddy Comparison Leads To Viral Backlash For "The Root"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 14:18 GMT

A tweet comparing the legal drama of Megan Thee Stallion and Diddy is causing viral backlash for The Root on social media. The post featured the caption: "Is Megan Thee Stallion the Female Diddy? Crazy Sexual Harassment Allegations Show We Never Know Celebs." It arrives after a former cameraman for the rapper filed a lawsuit against her on Tuesday. The Root has since taken down the post. "The two situations are NOTHING ALIKE AT ALL," one user wrote in response, as caught by AllHipHop. "To make these kinds of incorrect and unequal comparisons in a situation like this is absolutely gross and journalistic malpractice. Stop trying to be like Bossip and have some [damn] decorum." Another added: "The Root wrote an inflammatory headline about Megan Thee Stallion [because] they knew [people] would quote tweet it with disgust. They've been going downhill for a few years now. Desperation breeds depravity."

(Photo by Jerritt Clark/Getty Images for Amazon Music) Emilio Garcia filed the lawsuit against Megan in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claiming that he was stuck inside a moving vehicle with her when she began having sex with another woman. He further accuses her of treating him differently after the alleged incident. He says the "harassment was so severe or pervasive" that it created a "hostile, abusive work environment" and made "working conditions intolerable." In a statement from his attorney, Ron Zambrano, to NBC News, his legal team argued "'Inappropriate' is putting it lightly" and that "exposing this behavior to employees is definitely illegal."

Reggie Bush Is Officially Getting His 2005 Heisman Trophy Back After 14 years

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 14:10 GMT

Reggie Bush is reportedly getting his 2005 Heisman trophy back. The Heisman Trust has announced an official reinstatement for Bush today. The decision comes from a significant change in college athletics, specifically football. The penalties levied against Bush look, in retrospect, even more frivolous than they did in 2005. NIL has allowed athletes to receive money and gifts using their likeness. The new landscape of college football is a significant factor. Additionally, the amount of money being thrown around is the prime reason for the reversal on Reggie Bush's Heisman. After enduring severe NCAA punishments, including allegations of illicit payments during his Trojans career, Bush voluntarily relinquished his Heisman Trophy in 2010. Now, in a long-overdue move, Bush is set to receive his original Heisman trophy, with USC receiving a replica. This decision, beginning with the 2024 season, also grants Bush invitations to all Heisman festivities. It's a decision that underscores the injustice Bush has faced, with his collegiate achievements often overshadowed by the controversy.

The decision comes amid what the Heisman Trust calls "enormous changes in the college football landscape." https://t.co/ug2Q0rOeh7 pic.twitter.com/dwK7wd3I7b — Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) April 24, 2024 "Personally, I'm thrilled to reunite with my fellow Heisman winners and be a part of the storied legacy of the Heisman Trophy, and I'm honored to return to the Heisman family," Bush said in a statement. "I also look forward to working together with the Heisman Trust to advance the values and mission of the organization." In 2020, the NCAA-mandated break between Bush and USC officially ended, and a year later, Bush made it known he wanted his Heisman back. His team reached out to the Heisman Trust to no avail. No progress was made as the Trust had refused Bush's request outright. In August 2023, Bush made it known he was going to sue the NCAA for slander. The lawsuit would attempt to get his records restored and get him his Heisman back.Now it looks like the threat of legal action has spurred some change in attitude from the NCAA. Bush will now receive his trophy back. We don't know what this means for his ongoing lawsuit against the NCAA, but it might be resolved in the near future.

Kanye West Ripped Apart Online Following "Yeezy P*rn" Reports

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 13:57 GMT

Kanye West is someone who has been known to engage in numerous different ventures. However, not every single venture has worked out for him. One could look at something like Donda Academy to understand exactly what we mean by that. Overall, one thing that Ye likes to do is add "Yeezy" to various different copyright filings. That way, he can use the name on a myriad of trademarks and products. According to a recent report from TMZ, Ye has even been working on some sort of Yeezy Porn venture, in which he would create a studio that makes adult films. As you can imagine, this came as a bit of a shock to his fans. After all, Ye has become a reformed Christian of sorts over the last few years. Furthermore, he has been adamant about his porn addiction and how ungodly it is. With that in mind, the latest update from Kanye comes across as hypocritical. So much so that his fans were out in droves on Twitter yeserday, where they revealed just how upset they were over this new venture. Read More: Metro Boomin Appears To Be With Kanye West In Italy Kanye West New Venture Rapper Kanye West is reportedly exploring the adult film industry, considering the establishment of a "Yeezy P*rn" studio under his Yeezy brand. He has been in discussions with Mike Moz, the ex-husband of porn star Stormy Daniels and a seasoned industry professional. pic.twitter.com/tIyd8iyfiK — timovibes (@timovibes) April 24, 2024 As you can see below, the consensus amongst Ye fans is that this is absolutely horrible. In fact, it feels like more Ye fans are upset about this than they were his anti-semitic ramblings. Perhaps this has to do with the fact that his actions in 2022 ushered in a new fanbase, that doesn't even really know about Ye's past beyond The Life Of Pablo. It's a sad fact to consider given all Ye accomplished over the last few decades. Regardless, it would appear as though the Yeezy Porn venture is alienating his newer fans, which could be bad for business as Vultures 2 drops on May 3rd. Fans React Let us know what you think of this rumored new venture from Kanye West, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is actually a big deal? Are you mad at him for allegedly wanting to get involved in this kind of stuff? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Remy Ma Heated After A Troll Says She's "Giving Broke": "Shut The F*** Up Unless You Wanna Fight"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 13:54 GMT

Remy Ma is looking to get her hands dirty after proposing a fight to a troll during an Instagram live session. The legendary femcee from The Bronx, New York definitely embodies the city as people from there tend to not play around. She was wanting to see this hater in her comments section in person and see if he/she was about that action. The Neighborhood Talk shared the clip on their Instagram, and it sees Remy at a hairdresser getting her eyebrows done. As we mentioned a troll entered the live session and was really getting under the rapper's skin. The person made the bold claim that she was giving broke and that just set Remy Ma off. "How am I giving broke?" she questioned. "Girl shut up. Shut the f*** up unless you wanna fight b****." She originally was trying to screenshot the users page to perhaps message them directly, but that did not work. Instead, Remy simply blocked the hater.

In fact, she will always resort to violence it seems. "I'm never going to not want to fight. I don't give a f*** if I'm 95 years old, I'm never going to not want to fight. I'm going to always want to resort to violence. Like seriously." What are your thoughts on Remy Ma willing to fight a fan for calling her broke? Do you think she was being a little too immature, why or why not? Do you think her life is getting messy due to the cheating rumors surrounding Papoose?

Kim Kardashian is reportedly done with her and Kanye West's feud with Taylor Swift following the release of the singer's new album, The Tortured Poets Department. On the track, "thanK you aIMee," Swift seemingly throws shade at Kardashian, accusing her of bullying, and reflects on healing from their beef. The capitalized letters in the title spell out "KIM." "She's over it and thinks Taylor should move on," a source told PEOPLE. They added that Kardashian "doesn't get why [Swift] keeps harping on it. It's been literally years." On "thanK you aIMee," Swift sings: "All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin' / And I can't forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed 'F- you, Aimee' to the night sky, as the blood was gushin'/ But I can't forget the way you made me heal."

(Photo by Kevin Mazur/MTV1415/WireImage) Kardashian and Swift's feud stems from the release of Kanye West's 2016 song, "Famous," on which he raps: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b*tch famous." Swift denied giving her blessing for the lyric, which prompted Kardashian to release edited footage of the phone call between West and Swift. Taylor Swift Seemingly Disses Kim Kardashian Watch Video on YouTube During Swift's profile for TIME's 2023 Person of the Year, she reflected on the incident. "You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar," she said.

Halle Bailey Shares Her "Severe, Severe" Experience With Postpartum Depression

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 12:03 GMT

Halle Bailey recently gave birth to her first child with DDG, Halo. Overall, the baby boy seems happy and healthy, with both parents enjoying their newfound responsibility. However, in a new interview with People, Bailey spoke about some of the struggles she has faced since giving birth. In fact, she has had to deal with postpartum depression, which is one of the toughest battles someone can face. Although it has been a hard battle, Bailey is pushing through, and she has been extremely brave in detailing her story. "I have severe, severe postpartum, and I don't know if any new moms can relate, but it's to the point where it's really bad, and it's hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out," Bailey explained. "Halo is a miracle. He is perfect. He is beautiful. When I look at him, I cry because of how special he is. The only thing that's been hard for me is feeling normal in my own body. I feel like a completely different person. When I look in the mirror, I just feel like I'm in a whole new body. Like, I don't know who I am."

(Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for MRC ) Bailey admits that some time ago, she kind of dismissed the idea of postpartum depression. Now, however, she knows better, as it has become a daily battle for her. "Before I had a child and I would hear people talk about postpartum, it would kind of just go in one ear and out the other. I didn't realize how serious of a thing it actually was," she noted. "Now going through it, it almost feels like you're swimming in this ocean that's like the biggest waves you've ever felt and you're trying not to drown. And you're trying to come up for air."

SpotemGottem Subjected To Horrific Racism Thanks To Bizarre Billboard In Michigan

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 11:43 GMT

SpotemGottem is an artist who has been through a lot as of late. Overall, he is currently dealing with a weapons charge and a viral video of himself looking to evade police. All of this happened a couple of years following his mega viral hit "Beat Box." Numerous artists gave their take on this track, and it has been beloved by fans. Although he hasn't been able to come through with another hit since that time, fans are still eager to hear more from him. After all, if you have one hit in you, you can probably get another with a bit of work and dedication. Now, however, SpotemGottem is making headlines for a completely different reason, and it is an unfortunate one at that. Furthermore, one could say this is a situation that he would have never expected. Below, you can see that a billboard in Michigan popped up with SpotemGottem's face on it. Moreover, there was a message attached that simply said "Go Back To Africa!" It is a disgustingly racist message, and it is one that many are confused about.

Additionally, there are no reports as to whether or not the state has taken the billboard down. Racism has been getting extremely brazen in 2024, although mostly in online spaces such as Twitter. However, this recent billboard is incredibly disturbing, and we hope the proper action is taken against it. Let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments down below. Who do you believe was behind this billboard? Do you think that the person knows who SpotemGottem is, or did they randomly use his photo?

Kanye West Finally Reveals "Vultures 2" Release Date After Two-Month Delay

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 11:16 GMT

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign dropped off Vultures 1 all the way back in February. However, since that time, they have yet to release Vultures 2. Originally, the sequel was going to come out on March 8th, while a third album would drop on April 5th. Now, we are at the end of April, and the first sequel still hasn't arrived. Fans are obviously confused by this and have been looking for answers. Overall, they have had to piece things together through Discord groups and other leakers who claim to have some sort of in with the Yeezy camp. Recently, Kanye West was on a podcast with Justin Laboy. During this podcast, Ye spoke up about Vultures 2 and how he and Ty have been working extremely hard on it. Although he didn't give too much insight into the tracks and features on the album, he did give us a date. According to the clip below, Ye and Ty will be dropping their new album on May 3rd. That means the project is coming out in about 10 days, and it will fall on a Friday, like most releases do.

iShowSpeed Leaks Kai Cenat's Phone Number In New Diss Track

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 03:49 GMT

Everybody is airing dirty laundry this year. Rappers are making good on subliminal threats that are a decade old, in the case of Drake and Kendrick Lamar, but the aggression is going beyond the world of hip-hop. On April 23, iShowSpeed decided to take aim at fellow streaming giant Kai Cenat with a diss track of his own! The diss was recorded over the beat to Drake's "Back to Back," and sees iShowSpeed call Cenat out for being a fake. Admittedly, the words he chooses are a bit stronger. He also decides to leak Cenat's phone number. iShowSpeed doesn't bother with clever bars or double entendres. Anybody who has watched one of the streamer's videos will not be surprised. He does, however, bring a wild, intense level of aggression to the freestyle. "Kai, you can't pull Tyla/You dirty a*s n**ga," he raps while shirtless. "You do not pull b*tches. I'm sending 5K to a f*cking b*tch, I never pay for p**sy, n**ga suck my d*ck." Like we said, aggressive. iShowSpeed performs in front of a green screen, though it's unclear why the green screen wasn't used during the performance. Read More: Kai Cenat: All About The Famed Streamer & Super Influencer iShowSpeed Responded To Cenat's "In Da Club" Diss Watch Video on YouTube The bombshell comes during the second half of the track, when iShowSpeed mentions streamer Adin Ross. It's here that he decides to effectively dox Kai Cenat by revealing his phone number to viewers. "Adin leaked by number," he raps. "Here go your muthaf**kin number." Speed then holds up his phone to the screen and refocuses the camera so that fans can get a clear look at Cenat's personal number. He doesn't stop there, though. "B*tch I really don't care," he added. "Zoom in, take a good stare. Nah, I don't give a f*ck, you always on my d*ck, n**ga suck my left nut." Causual fans may be unaware, but this was actually a response to a diss Cenat dropped a month prior. Cenat dissed iShowSpeed over the instrumental to 50 Cent's "In da Club," but it's safe to say that the latter upped the ante by leaking private information online. The reasoning behind their disagreement is unclear, with many assuming the two streamers are merely cashing in on the trend of 2024 feuds. Regardless of the motive, it's safe to assume Cenat will craft an equally outlandish response.

Bas Pens Heartfelt Tribute To His Late Mother: "Rest Easy Now"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 03:21 GMT

Bas has always been a transparent artist. Part of his appeal lies in his ability to take difficult experiences and emotions and condense them down to catchy, relatable songs. It's an ability he shares with his label boss J. Cole. Those who question Bas' remarkable poise need look no further than the Instagram post he made on April 23. The rapper announced that his mother had passed away, and he expressed his love for her in a bittersweet remembrance. The loss of a parent is never easy, but Bas chose to emphasize the positives that his mother's death wrought for both him and his siblings. "I no longer fear death for when my time comes, I know I'll be reunited with you," the rapper wrote. "Thank you for the gift of my siblings and the love you and Baba displayed for us. So many people the world over have felt your warmth and can testify to the love you emit." Bas, who posted a photo of him and his mother at the Grammy Awards, promised to keep living the way she would have wanted. "We will carry that legacy," he added. "You've made us so proud." Read More: Bas Announces 2024 North American Tour Bas' Post Drew Support From Other Rappers View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bas (@bas) Bas was born to Sudanese parents, and he credits them with exposing him to different kinds of art growing up. "My parents would let me hear some Sudanese music," he told The Grio in 2014. "Pretty much anything when I was growing up." This musical influence would manifest in the rapper's 2018 breakout album, Milky Way. He also chronicled the difficulty of living in war-torn Sudan in the music video for the 2023 single "Khartoum." Bas is widely-liked within the hip-hop world, so it was no surprise to see rappers voicing their support in the comment section of his post. Cozz and Omen, two of Bas' Dreamville label mates, expressed similar sentiments regarding mourning. "May God bless you and the family with strength and guidance during this time," the latter wrote. "The form may transition but the love is forever." Smino, Denzel Curry and Saba also took the time out to pay respect to the rapper's mother. Bas' last album, the ominously titled We Only Talk About Real Sh*t When We're F*cked Up, was released in December 2023. The rapper was last heard on the track "H.Y.B." from J. Cole's mixtape Might Delete Later.

Pitbull And T-Pain Are Bringing 00s Vibes Back With "Party After Dark Tour"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 02:28 GMT

Pitbull and T-Pain dominated the 2000s. It was tough to go more than a few minutes on the radio without hearing their voices on hits like "Hotel Room Service" and "Buy U A Drank." Both artists symbolize good times in a club setting, whether they were the main artist or the feature, so it makes perfect sense that they'd join forces for the upcoming "Party After Dark Tour." The North American tour will kick off August 21 in Virginia, and culminate October 5 in New Mexico. Pitbull and T-Pain hyped up the tour on their respective social media accounts. "Get ready! I'm heading your way for the #PartyAfterDarkTour w/ special guest @TPAIN," the former wrote on Instagram. "Tix on sale Friday at 10am. Daleeee." T-Pain, meanwhile, tweeted: "HEY BABY GIRL WHATCHU DOING THIS FALL??? I'm going back on the road with my brother @pitbull." If the sight of these two aughts icons wasn't enough to delight fans, specific dates on the tour will also feature appearances from Lil Jon. These specific dates include stops in Washington and California. Read More: Pitbull Net Worth 2024: Updated Wealth Of The Megastar Pitbull And T-Pain Will Be Joined By Guest Lil Jon View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pitbull (@pitbull) Pitbull and T-Pain have a brief but impressive track record. They scored a massive hit out the gate with 2011's "Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)," which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. They followed it up with "Shake Senora," then took a decade break before reuniting for "Lit In the City" last year. Both artists have continued to tour, but Pitbull did stir up controversy during a 2021 show in which he attacked critics of the United States. "To whoever the f**k doesn't like the United States of America," he said onstage. "May God bless you, but f**k you at the same time. He later said he credited his huge success to living in the U.S. and therefore felt very passionate about the country. That was then, however. Pitbull is back to making people dance, because that's what he enjoys the most at the end of the day. He reflected on his "party rapper" status during an interview with the San Diego Tribune. "They always looking at Pitbull like, 'Oh, he's just the party guy. He's just making these club anthems'," he noted. "[I] put these records out because I knew that people would enjoy them and it could feed their wild side." This "wild side" is exactly what Pitbull and T-Pain will be feeding on tour. Tickets go on sale starting April 26 at 10 a.m. Read More: Doja Cat Album Leaks Aren't Phasing Singer, She Names Pitbull In Her Big 3 Rappers The post Pitbull And T-Pain Are Bringing 00s Vibes Back With "Party After Dark Tour" appeared first on HotNewHipHop. via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/792329-pitbull-and-t-pain-are-bringing-00s-vibes-back-with-party-after-dark-tour-hip-hop-news

Ja Rule Claims 50 Cent Had An Order Of Protection During Their Feud

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 01:19 GMT

Rappers really want beef in 2024. The first quarter of the year has been dominated by diss records and social media digs, and it's trickling down to previous generations. Drake and Kendrick Lamar's ongoing battle led Ja Rule to draw comparisons to his 2000s saga with 50 Cent. Fans clowned Ja Rule, as is the usual, but he dropped some previously unknown information that turned heads. The rapper claimed that 50 Cent filed an order of protection against him, despite his tough talk in the media. The tweet that initiated the revelatory exchange was posted April 20. Ja Rule took note of the rappers who were teaming up to diss Drake, and made light of the situation by writing: "20 v 1 I can relate." The tweet led one user to question Ja's math. "They said 50 Cent had Ja Rule seeing 20," the user posted. This is where things got interesting. On April 22, Ja responded to the tweet by dropping some major information about his feud with 50. He accused the entire G-Unit crew of filing an order of protection against him. An order of protection is similar to a restraining order. Barnes Jewish Hospital defines it as "a document issued by a court and signed by a judge to help protect you from harassment or abuse."

Gunit literally had an ORDER OF PROTECTION against murder Inc... can you imagine if one of the camps in this beef right now put an order of protection on the other...

#CWWTST

https://t.co/xh7GTs9eSB — Ja Rule (@jarule) April 22, 2024 Basically, 50 Cent and company took legal action to ensure that Ja Rule could not harm them. 50 Cent mocked Ja for being a fake gangster, but the latter allegedly prohibited Ja from ever coming near him. The latter highlighted the irony of the situation in his tweet. He also claimed Drake and Kendrick Lamar would get roasted by fans if either of them attempted to file an order of protection. "Gunit literally had an order of protection against Murder Inc," he wrote. "Can you imagine if one of the camps in this beef right now put an order of protection on the other..." Ja Rule's beef experiences came to define his legacy as a rapper. It subsequently makes sense that he's urging the current generation to set their differences aside and focus on music. "Hip hop is a family... and no one wins when the family feuds," he wrote in a separate tweet. "Don't let that go over your head... #hiphopvseverybody." It's a nice sentiment, even if Drake and Lamar decide to ignore it.

Cam'ron Fans Want A New Album After Hearing His Killer Freestyle

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 00:43 GMT

It's been a long time since Cam'ron dropped new music. The New York rapper has rebranded himself as a podcaster on the popular series It Is What It Is, but fans are still waiting for him to pick the mic back up. Fans can rejoice, because he finally did. Cam'ron decided to give fans a taste of new music on April 22, with a freestyle meant to commemorate the release of It Is What It Is season 4. Rather than get fans buzzing about new episodes, however, it fueled rumors of Cam getting back in the studio. Cam proved that he hasn't lost a step on the untitled freestyle. "Heck my shoes before I put them on, I don't trust a soul," he raps over Hitmakerz-esque production. Cam credited the beat to Goddams, who's worked with Masta Ace, Mobb Deep, and the "Purple Haze" wordsmith himself among countless others. The freestyle drew rave reviews from users, who pleaded with Cam'ron to get back in the studio and bless the world with more Dipset magic. Cam'ron has comfortably settled into his role as podcaster, but he like to tease fans every once in a while. During a February episode of It Is What It Is, Cam claimed he and co-host Mase have multiple collabs in the vault. "It's up to Mase to decide when to drop them," he added. Read More: Cam'ron Says "Pause" Too Much, He Admits In New Interview Cam'ron Teased New Music With Pod Co-Host Mase View this post on Instagram A post shared by @mr_camron Cam'ron didn't have the prodigious output of a Lil Wayne, but he was one of the most consistent rappers of the 2000s. He dropped five solo albums and a ton of Dipset mixtapes/compilations. He's slowed down his output, however, over the last decade and a half. He waited a decade to follow up Crime Pays (2009) with Purple Haze 2 (2019), which remains his last official release. Cam talked about the decision to stop recording during an interview with Complex. He claimed that he wanted to pursue different ventures like podcasting and screenwriting, and urged others to do the same. "Rappers who came out in the '90s or early 2000s, [rapping] shouldn't be the main thing you're doing," he noted. "Like when you say Jay-Z is a billionaire, it's not all for music." Cam'ron has officially come back around to rapping. He dropped the mixtape The Lost Files, Vol. 1 in 2023, and dropped a guest verse on J. Cole's "Ready '24." There's no project title or release date in sight, but it's nice to know the NYC legend has still got it.

Megan Thee Stallion's Lawyer Calls Harassment Case A "Salacious" Money Grab

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 23:22 GMT

Megan Thee Stallion's legal troubles persist. The rapper endured a multi-year case in which Tory Lanez was found guilty of shooting her, and now she finds herself the accused. Emilio Garcia, a photographer who worked for Megan between 2019 and 2023, claimed he witnessed the rapper having sex while in a moving car. Garcia was reportedly told not to "discuss" what he saw, which led to what he described as a "hostile work environment." The photographer is seeking financial compensation for his experiences, but Megan's lawyer is not concerned. Alex Spiro issued a statement to Page Six shortly after Garcia's case were announced. The lawyer, who represented Megan Thee Stallion during the Lanez case, claimed that the photographer's claims had no weight to them. Furthermore, he criticized Garcia's comments for being "salacious" attempts to slander the name of his client. "This is an employment claim for money," Spiro publicly stated. "With no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her." The lawyer then stated that Megan Thee Stallion plans to disprove these accusations "in court."

(Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Garcia is seeking several different forms of compensation. He's seeking unpaid overtime, unpaid wages plus interest, and employee benefits on top of punitive damages. The photographer cited the incident in the car as one of many in which he was made to feel "uncomfortable." He also claimed Megan and her camp would repeatedly make jokes about his weight and appearance. "I felt uncomfortable," he recalled. "I was kind of frozen, and I was shocked." Garcia was fired shortly after the car incident, which prompted him to seek legal representation. He has not, however, filed an official sexual harassment claim. Megan Thee Stallion has never been more popular. The rapper bounced back from the Tory Lanez drama to drop the number one single "Hiss" in January. The single was Megan's third to go number one, making her the first lead female rapper to debut atop the chart. A month later, Megan signed a deal with Warner Music Group that allowed her to maintain her status as an independent artist. Her net worth currently sits at $12 million. The rapper has not directly responded to Garcia's accusations.

Kim Kardashian Confirms Some Bizarre Rumors About Herself

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 22:29 GMT

Earlier this week, reality star Kim Kardashian made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's late night talk show. She was there primarily to discuss the season finale to the current American Horror Story anthology. She took on an acting role in the series and discussed some of her experiences and the upcoming finale while on the show. Additionally, the pair played a special game where Kim spoke on rumors about her that have allegedly been circulating for years. Through the game she revealed all kinds of unique eccentricities about herself. She admitted that before putting on any metal jewelry or clothes she uses a blow dryer on it to heat it up. This is apparently because she doesn't like the feeling of cold metal touching her skin. Similarly, she revealed she hates the sounds that cardboard makes dragging against other objects. Specifically, she makes her assistants remove the cardboard slip covers from her coffees to avoid having to hear the sound. She copped to even more strange things throughout the segment. Check out the full clip below.

Kim has been near silent on the beef for years but Taylor has brought it up repeatedly. She once again did so on a track from the deluxe edition of her new album The Tortured Poets Department. She used playful capitalization on a song called "thanK you aIMee" to make sure fans knew just who the song was meant to be about. What do you think of Kim Kardashian confessing to various quirky behaviors? Do you think she purposefully tried to avoid the recent diss track Taylor Swift released about her?

Kanye West Announces Plans For Yeezy Adult Entertainment Studio

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 22:29 GMT

Few pop culture events are more chaotic than a Kanye West press tour. The rapper manages to shock fans every time he sits down for an interview, and this week has been no different. West told TMZ on Tuesday that he plans to start a brand new pornography studio under his Yeezy banner. This has been a long time coming, according to the outlet. West plans to launch the porn studio as early as this summer, with the help of industry veteran Mike Moz. A representative for Kanye West claimed he's entertained the notion of getting into porn for several years. The difference maker, it seems, is the connection with the aforementioned Moz. As a former boyfriend of Stormy Daniels, Moz reportedly has the experience and the knowledge to make a porn studio successful. At least, in the rapper's estimation. TMZ reported that the Yeezy porn studio would kick off a "broader adult entertainment division" with Yeezy as the parent company. West has not yet commented on the business plan in a public capacity.

He served as the official creative director of the 2018 Pornhub Awards, and performed his single "I Love It" at the ceremony. The rapper has also claimed to have a porn addiction that threatened his relationship with his ex-wife and his children. In 2022, he got on Instagram to criticize social media for making porn more accessible than ever. "Hollywood is a giant brothel Pornography destroyed my family I deal with the addiction," he claimed. "Instagram promotes it Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago," he continued. West is singing a completely different tune in 2024, which is something fans should be well accustomed to. The rapper famously cycles through different eras and belief systems in his life and music, only to change things up shortly after. Historically, West has announced business plans that have yet to come to fruition, so time will tell if Yeezy's adult entertainment studio actually happens. Until it does, it's yet another bizarre chapter in the Kanye West saga.

Kanye West Disses Drake On "Like That Remix": A Break Down Of Lyrics

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 22:07 GMT

If you thought Drake and Kanye West had forgotten their long-standing beef, think again. Ye recently came out guns a-blazing with the release of the "Like That Remix," proving that he and Drizzy have a long way to go before they settle. From the first line of the diss track, it's evident that Ye has a bone to pick. Alongside Future, Metro Boomin', and Ty Dolla $ign, this remix borrows many elements from the original track and takes things up a notch. Altogether, 2024 has quickly become the year of the diss track, and the Drake-Kanye West beef is the latest entry in the long lineup. Drake Vs. The World View this post on Instagram A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) Kanye West and Drake's beef stretches back years, and the remix is the most recent milestone. However, while Ye is pretty used to commandeering multiple spats simultaneously, this is seemingly new territory for Drizzy. In what can only be considered a humongous feat, Drake has had words for several heavyweights in the game this year alone. Between Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, and now Ye, it's a miracle he's still standing. As Drake continues to prove he's no pushover, the industry is foaming at the mouth in anticipation of what's to come. But what's most remarkable is that two of his diss tracks, "Push Ups" and the controversial, AI-assisted "Taylor Made Freestyle," are targeted at Kendrick. This is why Ye's involvement caught us all by surprise. Kanye West debuted the "Like That Remix" during his appearance on The Download with Justin Laboy, and this has effectively added a new layer to his ongoing beef with Drake. Ye Felt "Energized" To Eliminate Drake YE PREMIERES "LIKE THAT" REMIX ON @TheDownloadShow @KanyeWest HE REALLY LIKE THAT #Respectfully pic.twitter.com/ADZLzHzU1b — Respectfully Justin (@JustinLaboy) April 20, 2024 Much to the disappointment of fans, Kendrick Lamar has yet to respond to Drake for the aforementioned diss tracks. Nonetheless, Ye seems to have taken on the task, claiming the baton off K-Dot. It's no wonder the track begins the way he does. In an aggressive manner, Ye hollers: "You know we had to get The Hooligans up here / We gon' take this p*ssy n*gga out / Yo, Dot, I got you." Right out the gate, Kanye's made his intentions clear... he's out for blood. While on The Download, he shared that he was "energized" to take down Drake. "[Future] called me and I went to the studio and laid that," he began. "We went through the creative process of adding the chords and called the Hooligans out in London to get on the joint... Everybody was very, very energized about the elimination of Drake." Multiple Stray Bullets NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 14: The Weeknd and Howie Richmond Hitmaker Award Honoree. Sir Lucian Grainge pose backstage during the Songwriters Hall of Fame 49th Annual Induction and Awards Dinner at. New York Marriott Marquis Hotel on June 14, 2018, also in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images for Songwriters Hall Of Fame) In true Ye fashion, shots were fired at not just Drake but those within his proximity. Drake famously resigned with Universal Music Group in 2022, reportedly featuring some serious money being thrown around. UMG's CEO, Lucian Grainge, was one of the names dropped on the "Like That Remix." Specifically, Ye referred to him as Drake's "master." "Where's Lucian? Serve your master, n*gga / You caught a little bag for your masters, didn't ya / Lifetime deal, I feel bad for n*ggas / Y'all so outta sight, outta mind/ I can't even think of a Drake line." However, the most memorable stray bullet fell on J. Cole, who famously bowed out of the rap feud by apologizing to Kendrick Lamar. Nonetheless, Ye had some words for him. In what has become one of the most viral lines on the track, Kanye says, "Play J. Cole, get the pu**y dry." The reason for the animosity remains unclear, but fans have long since had their theories about why Kanye West and J. Cole do not see eye to eye. For one, Ye might not have enjoyed Cole's "big three" claim. However, Kendrick's response about "big me" didn't seem to rub Kanye the wrong way. In 2016, Cole's "False Prophets" had a few lines that may have subtly pointed to Ye's mental health issues. Whatever the case may be, Ye told Justin Laboy that it was too late for Cole to back out of the feud. Evidently, the damage is already done. "It's like, n**ga, you can't run now," Ye said. Conclusion Kanye West and Drake's beef has now hit a new peak. It's anyone's guess if Ye will double down with another verse soon. Or maybe Drizzy has some words of his own in store. However, at the core of it all is Kendrick Lamar. Above all, the fans are still eager for his return.

Morgan Freeman Voiced His Love Of Elon Musk In Resurfaced Interview

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 21:36 GMT

It turns out Morgan Freeman is a big fan of Elon Musk. In a recently reposted video from 2016, Freeman is seen singing Elon Musk's praises in an interview. In the Video, the Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman endorsed the billionaire businessman. Freeman shared that he was a big supporter and was excited about all the promises Musk made. Those promises and hopes were eight years ago, but they still count. Musk was so enthralled by the clip that he reposted it on X (formally known as Twitter). A rediscovered 2016 video clip showed Freeman endorsing Musk's ideas for the future. He confessed that he enjoys taking short breaks from movie sets to check the price of Tesla's shares, showing that he genuinely follows Musk's pursuits. Musk is currently searching for any credibility he can, and this clip of Morgan Freeman from 2016 is serving its purpose. Morgan Freeman's eight-year-old endorsement might send Musk's reputation into an upswing. Read More: Morgan Freeman Reveals How He Got On 21 Savage & Metro Boomin's "Savage Mode 2" Morgan Freeman Was Obsessed With Elon Musk View this post on Instagram A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand) Freeman said in a 2016 interview, "I'm a huge fan of Elon Musk's...I think he's got the most incredibly forward thinking ideas about where we can go technologically." Additionally, Freeman said, "What he's done, nobody else has ever done. He's landed a rocket ship so it's reusable, do you know what a feat that is? Now we're taking off, we're going to be going to Mars delivering stuff to people who are going to be settling there, just like they settled the Old West, and bringing those ships back and landing them and reloading them." Freeman was truly keeping up with everything Musk. Elon Musk was so happy that the interview resurfaced he called Morgan Freeman "Awesome" on X (Formerly known as Twitter). Fans are, of course, split on the matter. Elon Musk fans are loving it and are reposting the clip on social media. Additionally, detractors are wondering if Freeman knows about Musk's problematic transgressions. Once again, the video is almost 8-years old, so take it with a grain of salt. That's two presidential terms worth of time. Overall, things have changed, but Morgan Freeman is probably still a fan of the Tech mogul.

Drake Kids: Does The Rap Megastar Have Any?

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 20:55 GMT

As one of the biggest pop superstars in the modern world, Drake has made no secret of his many sexual exploits. The "First Person Shooter" rapper has stated numerous times in his lyrics that he enjoys casual hookups with great frequency. This musical content has led many fans to wonder if Drake has numerous kids as a result of his lifestyle. As far as the public knows, Drake is the father of only one child named Adonis Graham. Adonis's existence was revealed to the public during a 2018 rap beef, which saw Drake verbally sparring with rap legend Pusha T. Since then, Drake's kid has gone on to share the spotlight with his famous dad and even release his music. Adonis Was Born In October 2017 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sophie Brussaux

(@sophieknowsbetter) Drake's one and only kid was born to former pornography star Sophie Brussaux in 2017. When first confronted with the reality of fatherhood, Drake allegedly denied paternity claims over Adonis before ultimately coming to terms with his new role as a dad. The specific details of Drake's acceptance of his son are quite murky. According to some fans and insiders, it seemed like Drake was a deadbeat dad until Pusha T revealed his son to the world. Others have argued that Drake was present in Adonis's life before the rap feud. Drake defended himself against claims that he had been absent in his kid's life on the 2018 track "Emotionless." In the song, Drake elucidates, "Look at the way we live. I wasn't hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid." Drake also claims that he planned to reveal Adonis to the world as part of a partnership with Adidas back in 2018, though Pusha T ultimately spoiled the surprise. Pusha T Name-Dropped Adonis On Wax Watch Video on YouTube In May 2018, Pusha T released the earth-shattering diss record "The Story Of Adidon." The track, which makes use of the instrumental from Jay-Z's "The Story Of OJ," is a direct response to Drake's "Duppy Freestyle," which name-dropped Pusha T's at-the-time fianc e. "The Story Of Adidon" revealed a wide array of explosive secrets, though the biggest saw Push referring to Drake as a deadbeat dad, and revealing the identity of Adonis and his mother. On the track, Pusha T raps, "A baby's involved, it's deeper than rap / We talkin' character, let me keep with the facts / You are hiding a child, let that boy come home / Deadbeat mothaf***er playin' border patrol / Adonis is your son, and he deserves more than an Adidas press run." Drake never formally responded to this track, though he has gone on to publicly acknowledge his kid's existence since "The Story Of Adidon" dropped. Adonis Has His Own Song Now Watch Video on YouTube Regardless of Drake's previous alleged experience with his son, he is now a loving father, frequently seen co-parenting in Sophie Brussaux's social media posts. Sophie has referred to Drake as an amazing father over the years. Adonis has been seen tagging along with the rap superstar at sporting events, music video shoots, and other public outings. In 2023, Adonis took a hands-on role with his father's music, drawing the cover art for Drake's For All The Dogs album. Additionally, Adonis has released his own song, titled "My Man Freestyle," which showcases the six-year-old boy rapping a stream of consciousness about sports, his dad, and accidentally breaking his iPad. The music video for "My Man Freestyle" prominently features Drake, standing by as a proud dad while his son plays youth basketball with a gang of friends.

NBA YoungBoy To Remain In Federal Custody While He Awaits Pretrial Release Hearing

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 20:31 GMT

NBA YoungBoy looks to be in a whole heap of trouble after his recent arraignment on April 16. As most know, the prolific Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper has been on house arrest in Utah for federal weapons charges and now he is facing even more charges. Those currently include "patterns of unlawful activity, procuring or attempting to procure drugs, identity fraud, forgery, possession of controlled substances, and possession of a dangerous weapon." That was all reported by social media sleuth DJ Akademiks. Now, we have another new update surrounding YB's legal situation. According to AllHipHop, the 24-year-old Kentrell Gaulden will be kept in federal custody until his pretrial release hearing on April 29. The "Cache County Sheriff's Office accused YB and his associates of illegally obtaining promethazine with codeine from pharmacies." The rapper and the rest of the people involved were allegedly posing as doctors and fake patients to trick pharmacists. The Cache County investigator on the case, Tyson Hyrum Nielsen, sniffed out that the rapper was pretending to be an elderly woman with the alias, Gwendolyn Cox. AllHipHop says that Nielsen called "Cox" and YoungBoy on separate phone calls to decipher that it was indeed one person putting on a disguise.

'Gwendolyn' sounded as though she was a much younger male from the southern states... Kentrell Gaulden continued to attempt to further the prescription fraud by talking about the prescription and saying, 'she on the hospital bed,' referring to the patient 'Gwendolyn Cox' from the previous day," Nielsen said. He even noticed small dialect errors like saying "axe" instead of "ask." What are your thoughts on NBA YoungBoy being held in jail until his pretrial hearing on April 29? How do you see this entire court case playing out for him? Do you see YB getting out of the legal issues in the future, why or why not?

Caitlin Clark Is Preparing To Sign Massive Nike Deal Valued At $28 Million

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 20:01 GMT

Caitlin Clark is set to sign a massive deal with Nike. Clark is one of the most electric scorers in NCAA history and is the No. 1 overall WNBA draft pick. There was a lot of chatter about Clark's WNBA salary when the Indiana Fever drafted her. The worries about her being underpaid will now hopefully stop. The reported deal Clark is about to sign with Nike is valued at over $28 million. The deal will give Clark the richest endorsement contract in women's sports history. We knew the deal would be big, and Clark was getting a signature show from Nike, but seeing the numbers is something. Clark became a household name in the past two women's collegiate seasons, carrying Iowa to two final fours. The Iowa Hawkeyes lost to Dawn Staley's South Carolina. Now, Clark is preparing to make her professional debut for the Indiana Fever. It seems like women's basketball is revolving around Clark at the moment. The WNBA is hoping her popularity will elevate the league. If the WNBA does its part and Clark is half as good as she was in college, then they will be in good shape.

(Photo by Thien-An Truong/ISI Photos/Getty Images) Caitlin Clark's deal is being reported as nearing completion. Those close to the negotiations have valued the deal at over $28 million. There has been no official word from Clark's camp or Nike about the deal. Under Armor and Adidas were also in the running to sign Clark to an endorsement deal. As their highest-profile athlete, NBA great Steph Curry was a part of Under Armor's pitch. Reportedly, Clark got offers of $16 million from Under Armour over four years and $6 million from Adidas over four years, both of which included a trademark shoe. Clark earned a lot of money through her NIL deal while at Iowa. She made over $3 million as she played for the Hawkeyes. Clark's team has been at work negotiating a deal since before her final season at Iowa ended. Clark has been the main factor in the women's basketball surge. The Women's NCAA tournament championship game beat out the men in the ratings for the first time, and Clark is a big reason for this. The WNBA is going to experience its highest-rated season, probably ever, starting this May.

DaBaby Gives A Surprise Performance For Charlotte High School

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 19:57 GMT

DaBaby is no stranger to repping his city. From lyrics about specific exits, to vintage Hornets jerseys, he's ride or die for the city of Charlotte. Though some of his legal troubles in the past have spawned from incidents in the city he still has a lot of love for the town. He showed that off recently when he stopped by a local high school for a surprise performance. It's unclear if he has a direct connection to the school he performed at, but students were thrilled nonetheless. Video of his surprise appearance made the rounds earlier this week. The short clip features an entire gymnasium of students erupting in applause as he enters holding a microphone while his music blasts over the speakers. He hilariously throws up one of his trademark poses for the camera while a group of kids hype him up on the bleaches behind him. The video's caption reads "DaBaby surprises students at Charlotte high school," and that seems to be exactly what happened. Check out the adorable clip of the students going crazy for the "Suge" rapper below.

Instead, he's recently started showing off his skills by freestyling over popular songs. That's continued into this month where he's dropped a few new ones that have split his fanbase. First he tried his hand at Sexyy Red's "Get It Sexyy" after the two collaborated on a remix of his song "SHAKE SUMN" last year. Then he took on the biggest rap song of the year so far, Future & Metro Boomin's "Like That." The track spent three weeks at number one after Kendrick Lamar used it to call out Drake and J. Cole. What do you think of DaBaby giving a surprise performance to a local high school in his native Charlotte? Have you been enjoying the freestyles that he's been dropping over popular songs recently?

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 19:36 GMT

JT has never been one to shy away from sensuality. As a member of City Girls both she and Yung Miami frequently discussed sex in raunchy detail. When she transitioned to solo material it was no different. Though her first solo single "No Bars" was as much about flexing her skills as her looks she's made equally confident appearances on songs like Kali Uchis' "Munekita" and Doechii's "Alter Ego" since then. She's been teasing fans with the potential for a new album this year and just announced when her next single will arrive. Last week she announced that her new single was called "OKAY" and that it was dropping soon. It turned out she meant very soon because it's officially confirmed to be arriving later this week. "Y'all was down bad about this snippet hope yall OKAY Now! ...FRIDAY 4/26" the caption of her announcement reads alongside a link to pre-save the song. She also shared the attention grabbing artwork for the song. It features a scantily clad JT in front of a cheetah print background, imagery that won't look out of place to any of her fans.

Thankfully, it didn't take long for them to make up and move on from it. One beef that she isn't moving on from any time soon is GloRilla. They've been quiet for the past few weeks but that doesn't mean things are settled by any means. What do you think of the artwork for JT's upcoming new single "OKAY?"

According to CelebrityNetWorth, this valuation reflects her enduring presence in the entertainment world, marked by iconic roles and a distinctive persona that transcends the screen. Bonet's financial standing is largely attributed to her work on television and in film, combined with her prudent investments in the arts and real estate.

Her big break came when she landed the role of Denise Huxtable on NBC's The Cosby Show in 1984, a character that became beloved for her eclectic style and free-spirited charm.

Her role in this psychological horror film was a significant departure from the wholesome image of Denise Huxtable, proving her versatility as an actress. Despite mixed reviews from critics, Bonet's performance was noted for its complexity and boldness. Alongside her film career, she returned to television with a role in A Different World, a spin-off of The Cosby Show that focused on Denise Huxtable's college life.

LeBron James' Tattoo Artist Loses Lawsuit Against NBA 2K Game Publisher

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 19:29 GMT

The tattoo artist behind LeBron James ink tried to sue NBA 2K publisher Take-Two Interactive. Jimmy Hayden filed a suit against the video game company, alleging that 2K engaged in copyright infringement because his work on Lebron James has been featured in the game for six straight titles. Hayden had amended the lawsuit in 2019. Several of his claims were dismissed from the case, but Hayden kept his lawsuit going. He ended up still suing 2k over two tattoos that appear on LeBron James in the game. Now, the lawsuit is dead. A jury sided with Take-Two Interactive on April 19th. LeBron James has been featured in "NBA 2K" since "NBA 2K4". NBA players are known to have a ton of ink on their bodies. A ruling in favor of Hayden may have opened the floodgates for hundreds of other tattoo artists to make the same claims. Take-Two argued that their right to use LeBron James's likeness also included The King's various tattoos. The jury unanimously agreed with the video game publisher. Read More: NBA Players Vote On Who Is The GOAT: LeBron James Or Michael Jordan? LeBron James Tattoo Artist Isn't Giving Up Take-Two has won its copyright lawsuit against tattoo artist Jimmy Hayden over LeBron James' tattoos in NBA 2K The artist claimed recreating his tattoos was copyright infringement pic.twitter.com/SvgThsTSaA — Dexerto (@Dexerto) April 22, 2024 Hayden isn't quite finished. He still has other cases related to his work. He has cases involving his tattoos appearing in NBA 2K21 on players Danny Green, Tristan Thompson, and LeBron James once again. The Lawsuit isn't some frivolous attempt at a cash grab. Take-Two has been in the hot seat before in their depictions of athletes' tattoos. In 2020, Take-Two won a 2016 lawsuit against tattoo studio Solid Oak Sketches, which alleged similar infringement as Hayden. A judge awarded tattoo artist Catherine Alexander $3700 in damages in 2022 after Take-Two failed to show their use of WWE star Randy Orton's ink was also fair use. Tattoos, Athletes, and video games have a long legal history. The NFL requires its players to get waivers from their tattoo artists. This policy was made to stop murky legal situations about copyright from developing. The NBA probably needs to take note of the NFL and copy its policy. In any case, Hayden's remaining lawsuits will move forward. There is a chance he will win against the giant video game publisher this time.

Tesla Recalls All Cybertrucks: What We Know

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 18:45 GMT

Despite only being on the road for a handful of months, the Tesla Cybertruck is currently experiencing a recall mandate. Tesla officially launched the trucks to the public in November 2023, teasing them as the future of the automotive industry and specifically championed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Despite Musk's overt pushing for the Cybertruck, users across the web have maligned the vehicles for their angular style, which many have likened to a low-resolution texture pulled straight from a Playstation 2 video game. Today, there are roughly 4,000 of these Tesla Cybertrucks currently on the road, and the recall impacts each and every one of them. Without any further preamble, let's examine the situation with these T-1000 robots on wheels and uncover the truth about the nature of this total recall. The Recall Centers On The Accelerator Tesla Cybertruck Recall (PSA) pic.twitter.com/EtngUbjlag — Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD) April 19, 2024 If you or someone you know is a Tesla Cybertruck driver, it's advisable to follow up on this recall as soon as possible, as it may pose a serious safety issue. News reports have revealed that the accelerator pedal can sometimes stick in place when drivers press down on it, making it difficult or impossible to come to a safe yield or full stop. Per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, this issue is caused by soap used in the pad lubricant, which inadvertently causes the gas pedal to become jammed. In an official recall order, the NHTSA wrote, "An unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal. Residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal." Tesla Is Under Fire Just a few years ago, Tesla was flying high. Now, investors are expecting a "blood bath" as the company reports earnings Tuesday. https://t.co/YaOTa9SUpT — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) April 23, 2024 Obviously, this recall is a serious issue that impacts the public safety of everyone within the vicinity of a Tesla Cybertruck. Furthermore, Tesla's recent months have seen several financial and personnel issues, with the company just announcing plans to lay off over 10 percent of its global workforce. Tesla has not yet issued an official statement regarding the situation with the Cybertruck recall, though safety regulators have directly blamed the company. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Austin assembly workers used wholly unauthorized soap in the Cybertruck pads. Tesla explained their announcement of laying off droves of employees as a reaction to dwindling sales in the electric car market. As a dominant force in this market in the past years, Tesla's low sales figures were quite surprising to many consumers. The electric car company is famously tight-lipped about their total units sold. With only 4,000 Cybertrucks on the road, this puts Tesla behind its competitors, such as Ford, who have managed to move over 7,500 F-150 Lightning electric trucks during the first quarter of the year alone. The Recall Requires Immediate Action Tesla ordered to recall almost 4,000 Cybertrucks due to fault with the accelerator pedals getting stuck. pic.twitter.com/msleozbSMt — Motor Forms

(@motorforms) April 21, 2024 Due to the nature of Tesla's tech-forward vehicles, most Tesla recalls in the past have been fixable with quick and easy techniques, including software updates through the cloud. Unfortunately, Tesla will clearly require a more hands-on approach for this accelerator recall, meaning owners of the Cybertruck must bring their shiny new vehicles to a Tesla-authorized service center for the repair. Like other safety recalls, this repair comes at no additional charge to the customer.

Saweetie Continues Teasing New Song Amid Quavo And Chris Brown Beef

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 18:35 GMT

It's been a year absolutely packed with beef and diss tracks in hip-hop and beyond. Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj got things started earlier this year with an explosive but short lived back and forth. The main event came when Kendrick Lamar took shots against J. Cole and Drake on the song "Like That" from Future & Metro Boomin's new album WE DON'T TRUST YOU. J. Cole's quickly deleted response track and Drake's consistent trolling of Kendrick over his height have seemingly dominated the rap news cycle ever since. Additionally, it's even seeped into popular music with Taylor Swift dropping a straight up Kim Kardashian diss track on the extended version of her new album. The newest beef to spark is between Chris Brown and Quavo. The pair's distaste for each other was brought back into the limelight when they were seated next to each other at a fashion show earlier this year. Now it's escalated into full on beef with diss tracks from both artists. Right in the middle of all of it is Saweetie. While she hasn't exactly come out in favor of Chris Brown, she certainly isn't siding with Quavo. Following her being mentioned in both songs she shared a DM from the former Migos rapper to Twitter that was admittedly not a great look. Now as the beef rages on, she's using the opportunity to promote her upcoming song. Read More: Saweetie's New Instagram Post Has Fans Wondering If She's Back With YG Saweetie Asks Fans If They're Ready For Her New Song View this post on Instagram A post shared by

(@saweetie) In the comments, plenty of fans bring up the ongoing beef. Most of them seem to want a Chris Brown feature on the upcoming track. "WE WANT CHRIS ON THE SONG AND IN THE MUSIC VIDEO" one of the top comments on the post reads. "WE WANT CHRIS BROWN ON THE REMIX" another agrees. What do you think of Saweetie continuing to tease her new single in the midst of the Quavo and Chris Brown beef? Do you think she is taking Brown's side in the beef or just defending herself from Quavo's allegations? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake "Taylor Made" Freestyle: Did He Cross A Line With AI Tupac & Snoop Dogg?

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 18:05 GMT

It's been a hell of a time for fans of Hip Hop. The number of diss tracks that have emerged in 2024 has been quite a lot. Not that we're complaining, though. The shake-up has led to some of the most exciting disses in a while, and we've had to grasp every single detail about a ton of rapper feuds. The crazy thing, however, is that they all seem to have broken out all at once within the industry. However, while most of these feuds have been met with praise, Drake's latest effort, "Taylor Made Freestyle," hasn't been warmly received. And this boils down to his use of AI on the track. In The Beginning... View this post on Instagram A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) The spark that ignited the rap beef was J. Cole's mention of Kendrick Lamar in "The Big Three" on the track "First Person Shooter." Kendrick subsequently dropped a surprise verse as a response on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That." J. Cole continued the diss by discrediting Lamar's discography on "7 Minute Drill." However, in a surprising feat, he eventually retracted the track from streaming platforms, but what stood out the most was that J. Cole subsequently issued an apology to Lamar. Not one to let things go, however, Drake released "Push Ups" as his own response. Although "Push Ups" was widely successful, public opinion still remains that Drake lyrically hit the ball out of the park. However, a follow-up diss track was released on April 19th-Drake's "Taylor Made Freestyle." But unlike "Push Ups," this was way more controversial. Why? Because Drake addresses Kendrick Lamar using AI vocals of Hip Hop legends Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg's Reaction View this post on Instagram A post shared by snoopdogg (@snoopdogg) Unlike Pac, who died in 1996, Snoop Dogg is very much alive to witness Drake's shenanigans. Snoop seems to have been as shocked by the stunt as everyone else. In a hilarious Instagram post, he expressed his surprise: "They did what? When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Y'all have a good night. Why is everybody calling my phone, blowing me up? What the f- what happened? What's going on? I'm going back to bed. Good night." It's safe to say that Snoop wasn't all about that mess. Is "Taylor Made" A Calculated Move From Drake? View this post on Instagram A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) "Taylor Made" is certifiably a stellar track, as far as diss tracks go. For one, it is most likely a show-off to the public allegations that "Push Ups" was an AI track. Secondly, and perhaps most interestingly, is how Drake attempts to undermine Kendrick Lamar. Overall, this is a calculated strategy to belittle status as a heavyweight in the game. His use of AI seems to be a conscious effort to draw out a response from K-Dot. Drake (as Tupac) addresses Kendrick Lamar on "Taylor Made," saying: "Kendrick we need ya, the West Coast savior / Engraving your name in some hip-hop history... Call him a b*tch for me / Talk about him liking young girls as a gift for me." While urging him to respond and engrave his name in "some Hip Hop history," Drake also attempts to poke holes in perhaps all of Kendrick's likely talking points for a diss track. These include the fact that he is Canadian and light-skinned. As most are aware, Kendrick Lamar has often been compared to Tupac Shakur. In fact, Kendrick himself has admitted to carrying on Tupac's legacy. With these (and the following lines), Drake's Tupac starts to question just how capable Kendrick is of taking on Tupac's identity, if he can't even stand the heat of facing him like Tupac did Biggie with "Hit 'em Up," one of the greatest diss tracks to ever exist. It's important to note that Kendrick's silence hasn't sat well with fans. Many have clamored for him to issue a response to Drake, not just for "Taylor Made," but also for "Push Ups." Drake Is Ready To Go To Rap War Watch Video on YouTube Following his Tupac stint, Drake switches to Snoop Dogg's vocals to speak to Lamar. He references Snoop "passing on the torch" to Kendrick Lamar at the House of Blues in 2011. Just like AI Tupac, AI Snoop also seems to also be disappointed in Kendrick's silence. The elephant in the room is why Kendrick remains quiet after being challenged by someone like Drake. "World is watching this chess game, but oh you out of moves Dot / You know that the OG never f*cking doubted you / But right now it seem like you posted up without a clue / Or what the f*ck you 'bout to do." Eventually, Drake finally switches to his own voice. However, he also makes it known that both "Taylor Made" and "Push Ups" were light work for him. He also claims he's more than capable of going a few more rounds against Kendrick. Finally, he ascribes Kendrick's silence to Taylor Swift's new album The Tortured Poets Department, which is sure to top the charts. "But now we gotta wait a f*cking week 'cause Taylor Swift is your new top (referencing Lamar's former record label Top Dawg Entertainment) / And if you 'bout to drop, she gotta approve / This girl really 'bout to make you act like you not in a feud." Is This A Misguided Effort? Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur (Photo by Kevin Mazur Archive/WireImage) For all its bravado and swagger, Drake's "Taylor Made" is not without its pitfalls. By invoking Tupac's name and legacy, Drake risks inviting comparisons that may ultimately work to Lamar's advantage. There's also the fact that AI use is still considered a major taboo in music. Drake lavishly utilizing it can easily be seen as a heavily misguided idea. After all, he is using it without the consent of the people in question. Particularly, one of the artists is dead and cannot speak for themselves. Therefore, it's quite easy to see why many consider this as Drake crossing a line. Nonetheless, on the flip side, many could argue that there are no rules regarding diss tracks. Take Chris Brown, who recently referenced the passing of Takeoff in his diss track for Quavo. Also, while it is obviously impressive to use up all the ammo that Kendrick Lamar could use on him, it still is pretty weird to describe himself as "liking younger women." This attempted 8 Mile move, unfortunately, doesn't hit quite as hard. While it's commendable to poke fun at oneself, there's obviously some things to consider. It's pretty evident that Drake isn't interested in that, though. Conclusion Altogether, there is no one way to look at Drake's "Taylor Made" diss track. It is both a divisive and creative moment in the ongoing saga of his rivalry with Kendrick Lamar. Another thing to note is that Drake seeks to be in a hurry to assert his dominance over Lamar. While this works in his favor, as he continues to earn public recognition, many have begun to sense it as a desperate move. Evidently, his campaign to reaffirm his status as king of "the big three" of Hip Hop is still very much alive. Regardless, whether or not he succeeds in this endeavor remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar shows no signs of abating, and Hip Hop is all the richer for it.

Tupac Murder Trial: End Date Set For Discovery Period

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 17:53 GMT

Last year, Duane "Keefe D" Davis was shockingly arrested for the murder of Tupac Shakur more than 25 years after the murder took place. It came after police executed a surprise raid in conjunction with a renewed investigation into the case. Keefe D has frequently appeared on various platforms online to discusses the details of the killing. In fact, his refusal to stop discussing more and more specific details of the case is the biggest reason many fans believe he was arrested. The trial has moved forward very slowly in the months since his arrest. Part of that came from Keefe D himself who had repeated issues with lawyers that delayed trial proceedings. Things were tentatively scheduled to get under way in June, but that was later delayed due to how long discovery was expected to take. During a trial update today, lawyers for both sides confirmed they're still making good time. According to All Hip Hop, the prosecution claimed they believe they'll be able to wrap up the discovery period in two months. The defense also confirmed they've begun receiving documents from the prosecution. While it's mostly a procedural development it means the trial is still on track to meet its tentative start date in November. Read More: What Is Tupac's Best-Selling Album?

Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been in a feud since Future & Metro Boomin dropped the song "Like That" last month. In his second response track "Taylor Made Freestyle" Drake deployed an AI version of the legendary "California Love" rapper's voice. One person who took issue with the AI was Tupac's brother. He reportedly compared it to using a nuclear bomb in a one-on-one. What do you think of the Tupac murder trial being schedule to start a full year after Keefe D was first arrested? Do you think he will be found guilty of the murder of the iconic rapper? Let us know in the comment section below. Read More: Tupac's Thug Life: Where Are They Now?

Rick Ross Dares To Clown Mike Tyson Over Old Picture

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 16:50 GMT

Rick Ross was among the most recent guests on the Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson podcast, and he took a risk in trying to make a joke about the host's past appearance. Moreover, when he saw a photo of a young 20-year-old Tyson, he couldn't help but make a joke about his hairline. "It's a beautiful picture...How old were you?" The Biggest Boss asked the boxing legend. "That n***a that cut your hair ain't give you no blend." This resulted in laughs from the people around them, and Mike cracked a smile and said, "I hear you." However, Ross cleared the air and said that he loves it, so it's either some backtracking or some tough love that acknowledges some missteps. Furthermore, this was a particularly special episode of Hotboxin' because it was what many fans probably hoped it wouldn't be: its last. Furthermore, it seems like Mike Tyson's convo with Rick Ross puts things at least at a pause as he prepares for his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. A lot of folks are very excited to see how this match-up pans out, whether or not they think that Tyson will be able to beat the YouTube provocateur. We'll all have to wait until July 20 to find out. Read More: Mike Tyson's 7 Most Unforgettable Moments In The Ring Mike Tyson & Rick Ross Chop It Up On Hotboxin': Watch Watch Video on YouTube The haircut joke appears at around the 44:15-minute mark of the video above. Elsewhere, Rick Ross is very much occupied with a showdown of his own, although this is more about trading bars than blows. He and Drake had a big falling out as a result of all the drama and disses that have emerged from Future and Metro Boomin's WE [STILL] DON'T TRUST YOU albums. While things probably won't reemerge on wax for a while, they are two social media trolls who will likely continue to send potshots at each other. Things are a bit more quiet right now, but we're sure that they won't stay this way forever. Meanwhile, Tyson is training hard for his Jake Paul fight, which will be a big moment for pop culture at large. Maybe if Paul launches a jab at his old haircut this time around, he won't be as forgiving as he was to Rozay. Who do you have coming out on top in either head-to-head? Let us know in the comments and stay posted on HNHH for more on Mike Tyson and Rick Ross.

Alec Baldwin Smacked Protestors Phone Out Of Her Hand After Coffee-Shop Confrontation

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 16:31 GMT

Alec Baldwin is shown slapping the phone of a pro-Palestine demonstrator who approached him in a coffee shop in New York in a new video. The video was shared on social media by an interview show that supports protests against Israel's actions in Gaza. Alec Baldwin can be seen getting increasingly irritated by the confrontation in the coffee shop. Alec Baldwin's reaction and the confrontation have sparked quite a stir on social media. Baldwin has recently pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter after a grand jury indicted him for his involvement in the accidental death on the set of Rust. The cinematographer of his film Rust was accidentally shot by a pro-gun that was loaded with live ammunition. Baldwin has been on trial for his alleged involvement in the tragic story. The allegations and charges were initially withdrawn. But earlier this year, a grand jury decided to re-indict the renowned actor. An FBI report indicating that Baldwin's gun could not have fired without the trigger being pressed is a significant piece of evidence that the motion opposes. Read More: Alec Baldwin Enters Plea In "Rust" Manslaughter Case Alec Baldwin Gets Heated In Exchange With Protestor View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) Baldwin refused the protestor's demands to say "free Palestine" and asked the coffee shop employees to call the police. Baldwin then opened and held the door for the protestors and gestured for them to leave the establishment. The protestor continued her contraction of the famous actor, and Baldwin continued to gesture for them to leave. Baldwin asked the protestor, "Can you do me one quick favor?" then smacking her phone out of her hand. The protestor repeatedly asked, "Free Palestine, Alec, just one time, and I'll leave you alone. I'll leave you alone, I swear, just say free Palestine one time." The protestor also brought up Baldwin's current legal troubles, being charged with manslaughter. Baldwin has had run-ins with pro-Palestine protestors before, which is probably why he was confronted in the coffee shop. In December, Baldwin did the confronting as he angrily went up to protesters in Manhattan, telling them to "shut the f- up." Baldwin was then escorted away by the police at the rally. As Baldwin was led away by police, the crowds started asking him about the Rust shooting, mocking the actor's involvement. Overall, Baldwin is involved in another negative situation.

DJ Akademiks Theorizes Why Rappers Are Cliquing Up Against Drake

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 16:29 GMT

DJ Akademiks is someone who is always commenting on hip-hop culture. Moreover, he is known as a bit of a cheerleader for the likes of Drake. Overall, he has always proven himself to be a massive fan of the Canadian megastar, although he does take it a bit too far sometimes. That has been especially true over these last 10 days. Drake dropped his response to Kendrick Lamar called "Push Ups." Furthermore, Drizzy delivered the "Taylor Made Freestyle" which was meant to be the ultimate showing of disrespect. Since that time, Akademiks has put Kendrick on the clock, and he is waiting for the response. Every single day, he goes to Twitter and theorizes when Lamar might drop. Recently, in light of Kanye's comments about "eliminating" Drake, Akademiks had a bit of an epiphany. In the tweet below, Akademiks revealed that he thinks he cracked the code on what rappers are going after Drake. For him, they don't actually have a valid reason. Instead, they are jealous of all of his success. Read More: DJ Akademiks' 7 Biggest Beefs DJ Akademiks Gives His Thoughts It's wild how openly other rappers with the exception of Ross aren't even spelling out their problem wit Drake they just openly saying "We tired of this nigga winning let's clique up to get rid of him" . — DJ Akademiks (@Akademiks) April 22, 2024 "It's wild how openly other rappers with the exception of Ross aren't even spelling out their problem with Drake they just openly saying 'We tired of this nigga winning let's clique up to get rid of him,'" Akademiks explained. It is certainly an interesting theory that has been made more real thanks to what Kanye had to say. As for Kendrick's reasoning, it most likely has to do with competitive spirit. However, without a proper response to "Push Ups," fans are starting to second guess what Lamar's true intent was. Let us know what you think of this take from DJ Akademiks, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that some artists are doing too much as it pertains to Drake? Do you think that the man everyone wants to hear from, Kendrick Lamar, will drop a response? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Based on the lawsuit, Garcia claims to have been working with Meg full-time from 2019 to 2023. Overall, there is one alleged incident in particular that is being highlighted by Garcia. This allegedly took place in June 2022 during a trip to Ibiza. Following a night out, Megan was with her friends in the back of a SUV. Garcia was there, and he alleges that Meg began having sex with one of the women, right in front of him. "I felt uncomfortable. I was kind of frozen, and I was shocked.

Yungeen Ace Asks 50 Cent To Make A Film Based On His Life After Weapons Arrest

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 16:03 GMT

Yungeen Ace was recently arrested on gun possession charges, adding another chapter to the many highs and lows of his turbulent life and career. At least, that's what we've seen in the headlines on occasion, and that seems to be something that he's well aware of, as well. Moreover, the Florida native recently took to Instagram with a message for one of hip-hop's most successful and well-connected moguls in the wider entertainment industry. "@50cent I'm trying to get in contact with you about a move about my life," he posited to the G-Unit boss, who hasn't responded publicly to this request at press time. Furthermore, it's very likely that Yungeen Ace knew that this was exactly the right time to strike when it comes to making this pitch. This is because 50 Cent recently opened up a massive film and television studio lot in Shreveport, Louisiana, which will surely bring a lot of other amazing projects to life. While nothing is for certain in Hollywood, at least the Queens rapper has plenty of experience with successful media up to this point, such as the Power and BMF TV shows. We wonder whether he will continue to expand his resum with other styles of narrative and thematic focuses or if he's as down as ever to dive deeper into a specific MC. Read More: 50 Cent Shares Surprising Thoughts On Drake's Newest Kendrick Lamar Diss Yungeen Ace Wants 50 Cent To Make A Movie About Him View this post on Instagram A post shared by No Jumper

(@nojumper) Of course, given some of Yungeen Ace's tribulations, antics, and beefs in the rap game, a movie on his life would be pretty eventful to say the least. But it's a good thing that there are actually less reasons for it to happen. For example, he seemingly squashed his beef with Foolio after his shooting, and this brought an end to their very public disputes, call-outs, and fighting words. After a lot of turmoil, it's nice that what was once a movie for bad reasons can settle down and aim for something greater. Meanwhile, Fif is happily commentating on pretty much any and everything in the rap game these days, such as Chris Brown's beef with Quavo. Do you think he'll respond to this request? Whatever the case may be, drop your takes in the comments section down below. Also, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and more updates on 50 Cent and Yungeen Ace.

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 14:55 GMT

For most of his life, O.J. Simpson was a very popular figure. He was an outstanding athlete, had a career in the film industry, though he's arguably also one of the most controversial figures in American history. Much has been written about his career in football, his trial for murder, and his subsequent legal entanglements. However, less attention has been paid to his family life. Behind the headlines and the courtroom drama, O.J. Simpson had significant family ties, and fathered several kids. On April 10, 2024, the legendary athlete died at the age of 76 due to prostate cancer. While the news of his passing was overshadowed by his controversial legal issues, some people sympathized with his family. Following his death, many have also wondered about the family and kids of O.J. Simpson. He is succeeded by four children. Here's what we know about them.

Simpson shares with his first wife, Marguerite Whitley. Not much is known about the 55-year-old woman as she has lived a very private life. However, throughout her father's legal troubles, she was very supportive of him. When she spoke to the parole board during a hearing in 2017 for her father, it was clear she loved him, despite everything. "My experience with him is that he's like my best friend and my rock," she said. "As a family, we recognize he's not the perfect man, but as a man and a father he has done his best to behave in a way that speaks to his overall nature and character," she continued, emotional. It's currently unknown what their relationship was like right before O.J. passed. However, Arnelle Simpson was certainly the most active and visible of O.J. Simpson's kids throughout his complicated ordeal. Jason Lamar Simpson View this post on Instagram A post shared by Justin Simpson (@jsimpsonsales) The second of O.J. and Marguerite's kids, Jason Lamar Simpson was born on April 21st, 1970. In his early years, Jason was inseparable from his father, and was seen with The Juice often. However, after things took a tragic turn in 1994, their relationship took a hit. Although he is probably the most popular of the Simpson siblings, Jason lives a very private life. According to a piece published by The LA Times in 2017, he was working as a chef at St. Cecilia, a restaurant in Atlanta.

Subsequently, the pair tied the knot on February 2, 1985. Several months after their marriage, O.J. and Nicole welcomed the first of their two kids, Sydney Brooke Simpson. She was born on October 17, 1985. Since her mother's tragic death in 1994, Sydney's relationship with her father has been strained.
