Rick Ross Comments On Theory That Drake Owns His Rivals’ Publishing

by

Everyone is wondering why it seems like half the rap industry’s biggest stars are going against Drake right now in what might be the biggest hip-hop beef of the decade. It even pitted Rick Ross against his very frequent collaborator, and that’s been the most open and developed beef up until this point. As such, it’s no surprise that Rozay is commenting on a lot of things concerning this feud, including one viral fan theory as to why these tensions may exist from a financial and business standpoint. Moreover, the theory claims that the Toronto superstar actually owns a percentage of many of his opponent’s publishing rights to their music, meaning that they’re always making him money.

Basically, Twitter user @realalmightee took a cue from The Joe Budden Podcast, who theorized that Drake might own a portion of Gamma Music Company, gets splits from the camp’s signees, and might even get splits from Universal Music Group (UMG) artists. Rick Ross’ MMG is under Gamma, whereas Kendrick Lamar, NAV, The Weeknd, and Metro Boomin, are under different labels that all fall under UMG. As for other players in this civil war, A$AP Rocky is signed under the Sony umbrella, and so is Future. There are other rappers and WE DON’T (and STILL don’t) TRUST YOU collaborators to consider like Playboi Carti and Travis Scott, but they haven’t really done enough to imply that they legitimately “picked a side.”

Rick Ross Reacts To Theory About Drake’s Financial Kick-Back From His Opponents

Furthermore, the theory claims that Gamma’s owner Larry Jackson has a very strong business relationship with Drake, and wanted him to spearhead the curation and development of their talent. Some other Gamma artists, like Sexyy Red and French Montana (until recently) are big Drizzy teammates. Also, the Twitter thread above includes many of his lyrics alluding to owning part of other artists’ publishing. As for Aubrey’s $400 million plus deal with UMG, this included publishing according to Variety, and may include other aspects of artists’ catalogs, including that of Kendrick Lamar. @realalmightee finished his thread by clarifying that this is all speculation.

However, The Biggest Boss called cap on this outright. “BIG cap. Minion’s opinions,” he quote-tweeted the thread in question, and it looks like they’ll get right back to their back and forth very soon. What do you think about all this? Let us know in the comments and check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Rick Ross and Drake.

50 Cent Shares Diddy “Text Messages” With Bizarre Social Media Troll

by

50 Cent’s latest troll of Diddy amid his various sex crimes allegations is a little misleading when you see it on paper. Moreover, via Instagram on Wednesday night (April 17), he posted a video of the Bad Boy mogul seemingly texting him, inviting him to have a drink, come over, be in his next rap video… you get the idea. “Yo this is fun to me, I had to share this it made me laugh,” Fif captioned the screen recording in question, although it’s unclear if this is someone else’s video or if this is some sort of software or interface through which he fabricated this back-and-forth.

Either way, we’re sure many will find this amusing, even if 50 Cent’s relentless Diddy jokes are starting to get a little played out and stale. However, we’d much rather take those than potential misinformation, which many thought that he engaged in thanks to another recent social media post. Furthermore, the G-Unit MC shared a news report claiming that Sean Combs was in a sexual relationship with actor Reginald VelJohnson. Many folks accused the source of this rumor, Mediatakeout, of often spreading fake news, so this wasn’t as hard-hitting as he maybe thought.

50 Cent’s Latest Diddy Troll

Still, elsewhere, 50 Cent inadvertently cosigns more staunch and seriously framed attacks on Diddy that don’t just focus on the “zesty” allegations that some joke about first and foremost. For an example of this, look no further than Kesha changing her “Tik Tok” lyrics to “F**k P. Diddy” as opposed to her original “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.” “LOL she said [middle finger emoji],” 50 wrote of this decision on social media. “Fvck P DIDDY, HAHAAHAHA [eyeball emoji] PUFFY LIKE 50 TOLD HER TO SAY THAT!”

Meanwhile, one of the most recent developments in Puffy’s various lawsuits is that Universal Music Group wants out, with a motion to dismiss the case against them. It’s unclear how the rest of the industry that’s implicated in these accusations will handle them moving forward, either defending or abandoning him. Only time will tell, and with such a massive and hard to parse scandal, perhaps this will be a particularly long process. Nevertheless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Diddy and 50 Cent.

Nicki Minaj Claims Late Concert Start In Montreal Was Due To This Malicious Reason

by

As is expected for any massive trek, Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 world tour hasn’t been without its hiccups here and there. Still, she and her team have been able to work through them gracefully and effectively, leading to overall praised performances and a consistent run that’s been able to handle technical and logistical problems well. However, the Trinidadian superstar insinuated on Twitter on Wednesday night (April 17) that something more malicious was taking place to “sabotage” her concerts. For those unaware, she arrived later than expected at her Montreal show that night due to flight delays and cancellations, plus processes upon arrival that she explains in the tweet below.

“Yesterday my flight scheduled for midnight shut their plane down @ 12:58pm,” Nicki Minaj tweeted. “Never in 15 years have I heard of anything like that. A 70K G4 and thought we were going to PAY THEM for that flight as well as whatever flight I’d have to get on next. They thought wrong.

Nicki Minaj Claims She Overcame Sabotage For Her Montreal Pink Friday 2 World Tour Stop Last Night

“Today, we asked if we could leave at 1pm,” Nicki Minaj continued. “They said no, we could leave at 3pm. Then they said that won’t work, we’d need to leave at 5pm. ?!?!!!!! Yup. For a 930pm show in Canada. When we got to the plane, they then said they were ‘STILL FUELING’. At 630pm, they said they were ‘still fueling’ (for an hour & a half flight) When we did get to Canada, they did a bunch of stuff they didn’t do the last 2 times I came for the OVO FEST. They started searching through my personal purses. Usually they take me to the car with my purses & check the bigger luggage. Nope. Not this time.

More Nicki Tweets

“They know I have a show, they know we’re 20 mins away. They know we don’t have a police escort. The sabotage be real but GOD IS REALER,” she concluded. “I’ll be on stage in 15 mins. Barbz, I can’t wait to see you. We’re going to have a magical night. Love you. My apologies. I’m going to get to the bottom of this when I get off stage.” “Like I SAID. A MAGICAL F&$!NG SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!” the 41-year-old wrote on the social media platform after the show was over. “#GagCityMontreal was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From START to FINISH. HAHAHHAAAAAAAAABWAHAHAHA!!!!! YOU CAN’T STOP ME YOU WILL NEVER STOP ME ALL YOU’LL do is CURSE YOURSELF!!!!!! You ain’t know?!?!!! Well watch.” For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj, come back to HNHH.

Young Thug Was Smiling Ear To Ear After Quavo Visited Him In Court

by

Young Thug has been going through an incredibly tough time due to the YSL Rico Trial. Overall, this has been a strenuous trial that is not going as planned. Although the state believes it has a solid case, it could take years to fully present. In fact, there are some analysts who believe that this trial could go all the way until 2027. That would be extremely unfortunate, and would take up a whole lot of time. However, that seems to be the progression of things right now, and fans will just have to sit tight as this plays out.

So far, Thugger hasn’t gotten a ton of visitors in court. While his family has shown up from time to time, his artist friends have been fairly quiet. Thankfully, that trend officially came to an end on Wednesday as Quavo was in court for the trial. Quavo and Young Thug have made a ton of tracks together in the past, so it only makes sense that he would show up for his friend in need. In fact, Young Thug seemed pretty moved by the gesture, as he was all smiles once he saw the former Migo.

Hopefully, more artists will begin to show up for Thugger as time goes on. He is obviously in a tough situation, and not everyone wants to be associated with what is happening. That said, even a little bit of support can go a long way. As we have clearly seen, the whole hip-hop world is hoping for Thugger to make it out of this, and be home sooner rather than later.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe more artists should be coming out to support Thugger in court? How do you believe this trial is going to end? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the music world.

GloRilla Angers The Internet After Posing With A Bottle Of Liquor On Instagram Following DUI Arrest

by

GloRilla has been making headlines over the last 12 hours for all of the wrong reasons. Overall, it was revealed that the artist was hit with a DUI arrest in Georgia. Furthermore, there were details that a wardrobe malfunction took place during the arrest. Even Damian Lillard’s ex-wife weighed in on the whole thing, making this that much more serious. Ultimately, fans are confused as to what really went down, and of course, some are just straight up disappointed. After all, you can easily hurt someone by driving under the influence.

Unfortunately, it appears as though GloRilla doesn’t see the seriousness in what went down. According to The Neighborhood Talk, following her arrest, she took to Twitter where she posted a photo of herself with a Taylor Port bottle. Considering what she was arrested for, this came across as extremely distasteful. Although the tweet has since been deleted, fans are very much unimpressed with what they saw, and they have been making those feelings known.

GloRilla Has Fans Upset

In the comments section over on The Neighborhood Talk, fans ripped Glo apart for her actions, and her subsequent post on IG. “She could’ve killed somebody and she thinking it’s a game,” one person wrote. “Having lost someone close to me as a result of another person driving drunk…this disgusts me. SMH,” said another. Needless to say, a lot of fans are extremely upset about this, and it is understandable as to why. At this time, Glo has yet to make an official comment on the arrest. Only time will tell if she apologizes.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you think that posting this image was in poor taste? Do you think that fans are right to be upset about the situation? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Kanye West Praised For Allegedly Defending Bianca Censori Following Sexual Assault

by

Last night, we reported that Kanye West had become a suspect in an alleged assault that took place on Wednesday evening in Los Angeles. Overall, this was a huge story, although fans were not sure what to make of it. It was said that Bianca Censori had been grabbed, which subsequently led to Ye’s alleged actions. However, Yeezy Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos came out and said that the situation was much different than what was reported. As he explains, Censori was sexually assaulted as a man tried to grab under her dress, while also blowing kisses.

“A stranger grabbed Bianca’ is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted,” Milo wrote. “The assailant didn’t merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted.”
