Ja Rule recently had one of the most dramatic and over-the-top entrances to a show that the rap world had seen in a long time. Moreover, to kick off his performance at Nelly’s Hot In Herre Festival, a medical examiner brought the rapper out in a stretcher. After they “resuscitated” him, he began performing through his catalog after declaring he was one of the greatest. Of course, people clowning him online caught the attention of his longtime rival 50 Cent, who wasted no time in making fun of the theatrics. “LOL WTF,” he posted. “I ain’t gotta say s**t st*pid [ninja emoji]’s SMH.”

Furthermore, it seems like the “Blow” MC didn’t appreciate that at all, deciding to focus his response against 50 in particular. On Twitter, he called him out for always looking for chances to instigate their feud, and questioned why he’s always so quick to bash him online. “@50cent You’re like an obsessed side b***h… [laughing emoji],” Ja Rule wrote on the social media platform. “Do me a favor and TAKE MY D**K OUT YOUR MOUTH!!! Pause.” Some things never change, and this feud certainly won’t anytime soon.

Ja Rule Thinks 50 Cent Is Obsessed With Him

That being said, Ja Rule has actually previously expressed that his relationship with 50 Cent isn’t actually as contentious as they make it seem. For one, during an interview with The Shade Room, the 47-year-old posited that, if Fif were to walk in the room, nothing would really happen between the two. Considering that their feud started under much more violent and confrontational circumstances, it seems like social media and performances are their only true arena these days. With that in mind, maybe all that the G-Unit mogul wants to do is poke fun at the idea and keep up some playful sparring with his historic nemesis.

Meanwhile, the Murder Inc. MC recently formed part of a great celebration of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary at the 2023 BET Awards. Alongside a slew of other iconic rappers like Chief Keef, Fat Joe, EPMD, and many more, they represented various rap eras. Ja continues to be a force in the game, even if his veteran status and social media antics are the reason for that these days. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ja Rule and 50 Cent.

Cardi B’s debut album, Invasion of Privacy, won’t be easy for her to top. The New York native took home a Grammy for her work on the LP. Additionally, she connected with an incredible roster of collaborators, including SZA, Kehlani, Migos, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin. It’s been over five years since that project landed. After much delay, Cardi has promised that her sophomore effort is due to arrive in 2023. However, an official release date hasn’t been shared quite yet.

The only release we’ve heard from her this year was on Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again” this month. It’s already become a strong contender for the song of the summer. Other rap divas like Yung Miami, GloRilla, and Omeretta are already either teasing or releasing remixes to the track. As fans continue to eat that up, it seems Cardi has been hard at work on another joint effort that’s sure to be stuck in our heads this summer.

Cardi B Jumps on Yet Another Remix

In a 42-second video circulating on Twitter, the “WAP” artist is on set of a music video. She appears with Fendi Da Rapper and a crew of others hyping them up. It seems Cardi has added a verse to Fendi’s “Point Me To The Sl**s,” which hit streamers back in December 2022 and has amassed nearly three million Spotify streams since. She looks confident while dancing in front of the camera, dropping it low like only she can in a tight blue outfit.

Just a few weeks ago, Cardi B didn’t hold back while ranting on IG Live about her plans for future collaborations. The mother of two shared at the time that she feels confident enough to pursue unexpected joint efforts instead of just jumping on things that are trending and sure to naturally gain traction. Read what Cardi had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

There are many rappers out there who have experienced fans trying to get a little too close while they’re performing. According to XXL, Ken Carson recently became the newest on that list when a fan ran on stage during a show. Carson does exactly what you’d expect him to, back away and let security handle it. That’s right about when a huge security guard comes on stage and tackled the man rugby style. The whole time he’s being carried off stage Carson continues performing without a hitch. You can watch the entire video below.

Ken Carson has kept pretty busy in recent years. The Opium rapper has only dropped one new single so far this year. His newest song “i need u” came out back in February. That followed his album “X” which dropped in 2022. The 20-track project received quite a bit of attention but also quite a bit of backlash. His style was compared unfavorably to that of his own label head Playboi Carti. Much like fellow Opium rapper Destroy Lonely many have labeled Carson as merely a Playboi Carti rip-off.

Ken Carson Security Tackles A Fan

Ken Carson’s debut mixtape Project X dropped back in 2021. It followed a pair of EPs that included his breakout hit song “yale.” While Project X had no features in its tracklist it did end up with a hit song of its own. “Rock N Roll” is Ken Carson’s second biggest song to date. He’s also been a part of some meaningful collaborations in the past. In 2022 he teamed up with SoFaygo and the pair delivered yet another hit on the song “Hell Yeah.”

Carson made a memorable appearance on the Yeat album 2 Lyfe last year. He also shows up on “money & sex” the bonus track from Destroy Lonely’s new album this year. The song has become a hit on TikTok since it was first dropped. What do you think of Ken Carson’s security tackling a fan who tried to run on stage? Let us know in the comment section below.

Recently, Lil Wayne and Skip Bayless once again reminded fans of their friendship when the latter visited the former’s home. “Ernestine [his wife] and I just got back from spending a sun-blessed LA Saturday afternoon at Lil Wayne’s,” the sports commentator captioned an Instagram picture. “4 hours of the best conversation 3 humans could hope to have- on music, sports and life. Deep thoughts punctuated by big laughs. Love you, man.” However, it seems like that event actually put larger things in motion. Moreover, Bayless recounted the meet-up during the latest episode of The Skip Bayless Show with some interesting hints on Thursday (June 29).

“Wayne will be involved more than ever in Undisputed going forward,” Skip Bayless expressed on air. “So will Young Money. I love you, man. And I thank you for yet another very memorable Saturday. The connection here is my wife, Ernestine, and I are endlessly fascinated by [Lil] Wayne’s gift for recording and performing. Just as I believe he is unquenchably intrigued by behind-the-scenes at Undisputed. Other than Ernestine, I don’t know anybody, any human, that watches more Undisputed, for that matter, more FS1 than Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. does. I’m pretty sure he never misses an Undisputed.”

Of course, this is promising because Skip Bayless is still looking for an Undisputed cohost following Shannon Sharpe’s departure. After all, Lil Wayne actually filled in as a special guest-slash-substitute host to talk with Skip. Still, it seems relatively unlikely given how much time Tunechi dedicates to his music craft and how busy he could be with festivals, interviews, and more. That being said, it would definitely give rap fans who don’t watch Undisputed a reason to tune in, and would most likely raise the show’s already high profile.

Meanwhile, Weezy continues to be one of the most acclaimed, awarded, and sought-after artists in the game. Recently, reports surfaced indicating that BMI will grace him with the Icon Award in celebration of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary. The BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards will take place on September 6, and we’ll see if this is the only honor he wins for the rest of the year. Many might not agree, but a larger seat on Undisputed would certainly be an honor in his eyes. Regardless, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Skip Bayless and Lil Wayne.

At this point in her career, Omeretta The Great has become known for stirring up controversy with her lyrics – she doesn’t seem to mind, though. On Friday (June 30), the Atlanta-based artist closed the month with her “Put It on Da Floor (RettaMix)” which finds her name-dropping several key players close to the YSL RICO trial. Omeretta appears to defend Gunna, who was released earlier this year on a plea deal, with her bars, while name-dropping several male rappers who have been throwing shade his way recently.

“They talking bout Baby making disses, I guess he picking a side / But this Atlanta business, someone tell Boosie be quiet,” the 27-year-old spits. “I heard that Durk all on the ‘gram tryna boost up his pride / He sending disses at lil Gunna when Lil Y be outside,” she continues. In the hours since the track has dropped, the recently incarcerated entertainer has shared his thoughts on Twitter.

Boosie Badazz Responds to Omeretta’s “Put It On Da Floor (RettaMix)”

“[Omeretta], get mat at what [your] city doing ,” his indirect message to The Great began. “Don’t get mad at me lol. I see the play . Who you trying to get a feature with?” Boosie asked, assuming that the black-haired beauty is attempting to further her career by using his name. “SMH. #CloutChasin, just keep rapping . Hopefully your time coming,” he concluded, throwing shade at Omeretta’s distance from the spotlight in proximity to names like Ice Spice, Latto, and Coi Lerray, for example.

Despite his own legal woes, Boosie Badazz has been one of the most vocal rappers in terms of expressing disdain for Gunna’s alleged snitching. While at the BET Awards earlier this month, he spoke with the press on the red carpet about exactly why he has so much hatred for informants. Read everything the Louisana native had to say at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

A new clip shows 79-year-old R&B singer Patti LaBelle having the time of her life at a recent Usher concert. The video was taken at his “My Way” residency at the MGM in Las Vegas. Fans are seen cheering on the icon while she dances to Ginuwine’s 1996 hit, “Pony.” Fans in the comments sections are loving her enthusiasm.

LaBelle took to social media later to share her thoughts on the show. “I’m so glad I was able to catch Usher’s show in Vegas before my concert in Primm, NV tomorrow night because it was AWESOME!,” she wrote on Twitter. The songstress continued, “Thank you @Usher and your whole team for treating me like a queen! And if you haven’t seen his show yet, this is one you do not want to miss!”

Last weekend, LaBelle was scheduled to pay tribute to the legendary Tina Turner during a performance at the 2023 BET Awards. Turner passed away due to natural causes at her home in Switzerland last month. “It was an extraordinary privilege to celebrate the life and legacy of Ms. Tina Turner at BET Awards 2023. Having the incomparable Ms. Patti LaBelle on our stage honoring one of her contemporaries was an equal privilege,” a representative for BET said. The performance was, of course, going to be major, honoring Turner’s life and legacy.

Unfortunately, LaBelle’s tribute to the late icon made headlines for other reasons. She performed hits like Turner’s 1989 Foreign Affair track “The Best,” but she had a couple of snags along the way. She fumbled a few of the song’s lyrics, admitting that she couldn’t read them on the teleprompter. “I can’t see the words and I don’t know,” she sung onstage, “I’m trying y’all.” BET later shared a statement on the mishap. “Due to the crowd’s enthusiasm, the teleprompter was obstructed, obscuring Ms. LaBelle’s view of the lyrics,” they explained. “Nonetheless, we couldn’t be more grateful to Ms. LaBelle for lending her incredible talent to this moment.“

The YNW Melly double murder trial has been one of the biggest hip-hop stories of the year so far. In addition to all the regular case developments, the court mentioned plenty of rappers in their proceedings so far, whether for their involvement or in reference. One that is allegedly involved in the murders Melly stands accused of committing is Fredo Bang. Prosecutors argued that the Baton Rogue rapper picked the Florida MC up after he allegedly fatally shot YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser. Now, he came through with a track in support of Melly, aptly titled “Free Melly” as many fans online are clamoring.

However, at first glance, the lyrics here don’t reference or talk about YNW Melly’s case at length; he most notably denied giving information in the case. Rather, the 27-year-old got into his storytelling and narrative bag, providing a lot of detailed descriptions of his rough street life and taking down his opposition. Sure, there is one sole mention of Melly, talking about how they’ve been close for a long time and his refusal to talk to the police or court. Other than that, “Free Melly” is a portrait of Fredo Bang’s day-to-day, or instead some of his darkest and most contentious moments. There are some sharp lines here that are meant to hit you in your core rather than make you evaluate the wordplay, and he switches from more easy-going flows to rapid-fire bars.

Fredo Bang’s “Free Melly” Music Video

Meanwhile, the production her is reminiscent of something that NBA YoungBoy would ride with pride (after all, they’re both from Louisiana). Breezy guitars and piano mesh with a mid-tempo trap beat to create a surprisingly bright sonic pallet for the MC to float over. We’ll see how the rest of the trial progresses, and whether or not this song turns into an anthem for it. If you haven’t heard it yet, find “Free Melly” on your preferred streaming service and peep standout bars below. As always, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Fredo Bang and YNW Melly.

Quotable Lyrics
Where your block? I f**k around and come and spin it
Don’t want to talk to feds, probably got my digits
Free Melly it been love since the beginning
Talking ’bout subpoena, tell that lady I ain’t get it
