Quotable Lyrics from STFU

Is there heaven for a pig?

Screamin’, “Catch me if you can”

The post STFU – Song by A$AP Rocky appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

The narrator says, “Everything is supposed to go away eventually. You see this especially in show business with famous actors or musicians, and it’s like, ‘Oh, this guy used to be famous and then he fell off. What happened?’ They wanna point to, ‘They did this and this, and they made some sort of mistake’ instead of thinking, look, it’s kind of crazy they got famous in the first place.”

They continue, “So few people reach that level that, yes, of course it’s not gonna last forever. Because somebody else has to take that spot. That’s how show business has been since forever. But no, they always say, ‘Oh, that guy fell off.’ They wanna look down on him for just going through the natural cycle of rising and falling.”

Since the trailer dropped, fans have been wondering who the voice behind that expertly crafted message is. Well, lucky for everyone asking, they have stepped forward. It’s YouTuber and comedian Dan Harumi per Kurrco, and he explained the very cool backstory as to how this collaboration materialized.

A post shared by Cole World (@realcoleworld)

As he explains in the clip above, he shared a video to his channel back in March titled “How Long Is America Supposed To Last?” about the ever-changing statuses of celebrities, businesses, and the U.S.

Harumi says that someone from Dreamville had been following him on Instagram and caught wind of the upload. The rep then shared it with J. Cole and the rest is history.

Before signing off, Harumi left some inspirational advice for anyone watching. “Let this be a lesson. To anybody out there, if you do this kind of thing, if you make content… Just post the video. You never know who’s watching. I put that video out on YouTube and at the time it had like 300 views and one of those 300 views was J. Cole, so you never know.”

Now, Harumi’s voice will forever be associated with what could be a monumental hip-hop album. The Fall-Off has long been speculated to be Cole’s retirement project, so we will see if that’s the case. It drops on February 6 and has a lead single out now, “Disc 2 Track 2″ as of Jan. 14.

The post Narrator Behind J. Cole’s “The Fall-Off” Trailer Reveals Identity & Story Behind Their Collab appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

XXL shared a Jada freestyle over Drizzy’s “You Only Live Twice” instrumental on Twitter. If you don’t recall, this Lil Wayne and Rick Ross collab (that aged well, didn’t it…) landed on the Toronto superstar’s 2021 album Certified Lover Boy.

The LOX spitter goes hard over the beat, rapping about his luxuries and successes, his corporate dominance, and treating a 401K like petty cash. It’s not a long freestyle nor is it a particularly refreshing one, but the rhyme schemes and his iconic voice carry energy all the same.

We’ll see if we get more new music from ‘Kiss sooner rather than later, whether it’s freestyles like these or more official releases. For such a mainstay in fundamentalist hip-hop, every new verse we get is a treat for hardcore fans who still remember the glory days.

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

Jadakiss has also shown love to Drake as of late, including a recent discussion with Fat Joe about the 6ix God’s commercial dominance. They both agreed that his upcoming album ICEMAN will probably be similarly massive on metrics like the Billboard charts, let alone among community reception. While the project still doesn’t have a release date, many folks expect that it will drop very soon.

Regardless of that lack of clarity, Jadakiss has been liking Drake’s rollout so far. He had some interesting thoughts on his “What Did I Miss?” single, which talks a lot about the Kendrick Lamar battle’s fallout.

“He got a taste of the rap industry, man,” he expressed. “They flip on you emphatically. […] They flip. […] Rappers, the game, executives, everybody you could think of, store owners. Yeah, they f***ing flip. That’s part of this. That’s the game we in.”

We’ll see if these two lyricists have another crossover in the future for their fans.

Per the publication, the Philippines’ Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) confirmed the upcoming deportation on Thursday (January 15). “Let this be a reminder to all our visitors here in the Philippines that while we welcome tourists and treat them with respect, we also expect them to follow our laws, just as we do when we travel abroad,” Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla reportedly stated.

“We have no ill feelings against Vitaly,” he continued. “He has served his time, shown remorse, and is now a free man when he returns to Russia.” Some folks aware of Vitaly’s United States green card and residence might question why he’s going back to Russia. Authorities clarified that standard immigration procedures over his original passport and his original citizenship indicate that this is the process to follow.

Zdorovetskiy will reportedly leave the Philippines within a week following an order from the Bureau of Immigration that still needs a final clearance from the courts and from the National Bureau of Investigation. FearBuck on Twitter caught pictures of Vitaly at the press conference announcing the deportation.

Why Did Vitaly Go To Prison?

For those unaware, authorities in the Philippines arrested him last year for disturbing the peace and harassing public officials and citizens during a livestream. Vitaly’s controversial livestreams had caused ruckuses before, but nothing like this.

Before this halted his streaming career, Vitaly even crossed over with rappers sometimes, although not always to two-way positive results. He claimed that Quavo scammed him out of thousands of dollars, whereas some rappers like YG and Ty Dolla $ign have joined his livestreams supposedly catching alleged predators.

We will see if Vitaly makes a return to the public eye or if this situation will keep him out of the Internet for a while. Either way, fans are curious as to what his next era could look like.

Per Kurrco, YB is now the most RIAA-certified MC of all time outdoing superstars like Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye West and others. But that might not even be the best way to phrase it. To put it bluntly, he’s absolutely obliterating his competition.

As of today, the Make America Slime Again creator is in possession of 126 plaques(!) To put that into perspective, per The Hype Magazine, Drake likely had anywhere from 45-60 certifications at YB’s age. Even crazier, the queen of modern-day pop, Taylor Swift, was probably sitting on 60–80.

What propelled NBA YoungBoy to this level is the near endless list of plaques he received today. He acquired 36(!) and what’s wild is that most of them aren’t duplicates and are completely solo singles.

Overall, that just speaks to how he doesn’t need features to help his music sell.

NBA YoungBoy Releases Slime Cry

It’s an incredible feat, to put it simply, and at the level he operates at, he may drive up the total so high that no rapper will eclipse it. The Beatles have the most awards from the RIAA of anyone, but they may have to watch their backs for the star that is YB.

He could add to that total in the coming months as he just dropped his first album of 2026, Slime Cry, today. It features a whopping 30 tracks and includes rare collaborations. There are two of them, to be exact, one with Jelly Roll and another co-starring Burna Boy.

The project was supposed to drop in November 2025, which would have been YB’s fourth of that year. Then, he dropped More Leaks, MASA, and DESHAWN.

As caught by Livebitez and DJ Akademiks on Instagram, he took to social media with a few videos clowning the space for allegedly not having electricity at one point. More specifically, the G-Unit mogul posted an alleged clip of the Let’s Rap About It space with the lights off, and folks discussing together with flashlights.

“LOL @mr_camron [Cam’ron] turned the lights off, them bum a** [ninja emoji] in there with flash lights,” he captioned the post. Another post saw 50 share a video of cartoon eyes on a black background, whereas another was more of a skit in which he was recording a Super Bowl LX promo when the lights suddenly cut out.

Fif’s post also reference Cam’ron’s own beef with Jim Jones, which continues to develop as a post-Dipset fallout story. But for what it’s worth, Jim Jones thanked 50 Cent and Cam’ron for “free promo,” so maybe everyone’s eating all the same here.

What’s 50 Cent’s Beef With Jim Jones?

For those unaware, 50 Cent and Jim Jones’ beef dates back to G-Unit and The Diplomats feuding in the 2000s, and most recently flared up due to that Diddy doc criticism. From there, both of them are clowning each other for their financial woes, clout-chasing, connections with other MCs… the list goes on.

Ironically, this isn’t the first time that 50 Cent clowned Jim Jones’ media space specifically. He leaked audio of Jones’ landlord allegedly claiming that he owes thousands in back rent.

For the most part, Capo and company have allowed all this to roll off their shoulders. However, 50’s doing the same, not responding at all to a freestyle against him. They both have other beefs and conflicts to handle. Nevertheless, it seems like they will always cash in on an opportunity to roast each other.

For those unaware, the Hot Boy and Dope Shows Inc. have lawsuits against each other over the former’s exit from Cash Money’s 30th anniversary tour. Per the outlet, the court scheduled a settlement conference for Tuesday, February 17 of this year. Federal judges often schedule these conferences as a mandatory process before determining if their cases will fully go to court.

As such, despite a lot of animosity in recent months, there might be a chance for both parties to walk away with a satisfactory settlement on both ends. Still, since their claims against one another means that this could be a zero-sum game. We will have to wait and see what the next update from legal proceedings indicates.

Why Is Turk Suing Cash Money’s Tour Promoters?

Mannie Fresh, Juvenile & B.G. (Cash Money)" class="wp-image-971444" srcset="https://wp.hnhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Turk-Cash-Money-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://wp.hnhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Turk-Cash-Money-300x200.jpg 300w, https://wp.hnhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Turk-Cash-Money-768x512.jpg 768w, https://wp.hnhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Turk-Cash-Money-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://wp.hnhh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Turk-Cash-Money-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" />

For those unaware, Turk’s dispute with the Cash Money tour promoters concerns his controversial and sudden exit from the trek, which he claims happened due to promoters rather than his own will. Dope Shows Inc. sued him for $12 million in federal court, claiming he used threats and defamation to sabotage the tour and cause security risks. The New Orleans rapper sued them for $340,000 in Florida, claiming that they still owe him that money and used the aforementioned security concerns as an excuse to not pay him what they promised.

On the other hand, Dope Shows claims that the instigation of Turk’s beef with B.G. on behalf of the former could have caused B.G.’s probation officer to pull him from the tour. They also claim B.G. rakes in much more interest and revenue than his Hot Boys colleague. Alleged leaks of the tour’s confidential financial happenings also reportedly contributed to this dispute.

Turk claims that promoters used that drama to drive more ticket sales and that he refused a pay cut for more shows, which led to this legal battle. We will see if they reach an agreement or head to court.

However, The Boy also wanted to spread some holiday cheer Ben’s way, and he went all out in the process. On top of gifting himself one, Drizzy purchased the Tennessee rapper a Rolls-Royce Spectre Mansory. The latter’s was completely blacked-out and he was left utterly speechless.

It was such a shock that Ben was nearly brought to tears for the gesture. But Drake affirmed that it was for him and wanted to get it as a way to motivate Ben for 2026 and beyond.

However, trolls and haters alike have been spreading the rumor that Ben’s friend did it for the cameras and took it back.

Well, he expertly responded during a recent livestream, shutting that falsehood down by showing the electric whip in the flesh. While showing off his fleet, Ben says the Spectre isn’t and hasn’t gone anywhere.

“A lot of folks talking ’bout I ain’t seen Ben post the Rolls-Royce Drake gave him.” Ben adds while pointing at the car, “What that is then?”

Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN Soon?

Speaking of dispelling rumors, though, Drake has yet to do that in a way. We are still waiting to hear when he’s going to release ICEMAN. At this point, we have mostly been relying on sources not named Aubrey Graham. All of them such as DJ Akademiks, for example, continue to reaffirm that it’s coming real soon.

The hip-hop reporter’s most recent intel surfaced this past weekend. He essentially rehashed what he’s been saying over the last couple of weeks, so it’s not much to explain.

But for what it’s worth, the updates have been really frequent so maybe we are on the cusp. Maybe next week we will hear more. Drake told Complex recently that a finale of the ICEMAN YouTube streams is on deck, and one can only assume that will be the day the release date is shared.

As caught by Victor Baez on Twitter, the Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos duo recently stopped by The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy asked French if he was still cool with the 6ix God, which he affirmed. “That’s my guy,” he remarked. “I would love to hear Drake with you on the record,” Envy responded, seemingly referring to an unreleased track that he already listened to. “Y’all two and Drake.”

“I would love to hear me and Drake too on a record,” Max chimed in. “Shout out to Papi.” Charlamagne Tha God was confused at the notion of the “Splash Brothers” and the “Sniper Gang” having beef, with French adding, “I never went back and forth.”

“Can I have that record, then? Him and Drake got a dope record,” DJ Envy continued. “You got to ask him for that record,” French Montana responded. “Maybe I’ll tell Drake, ‘Let’s give that to Max.’ ‘Cause it is a New York record.”

Will we see The Silver Surfer and the ICEMAN on the same track together, maybe with Montana in there as well? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Did French Montana Have Beef With Drake?

For those unaware, this isn’t the first time that French Montana denied any Drake beef. He rapped on a Lil Durk collab about not wanting folks to ask him about the Toronto superstar and Rick Ross, and he even walked out of an interview once when asked about it.

All in all, it seems like that cease and desist over a feature verse may have been true, as other alleged sources like Gamma CEO Larry Jackson confirmed it. Then again, though, Jackson characterized it as more of a joke. So it clearly didn’t cause a rift between them.

The report indicates that prosecutors and defense attorneys for Kewon White, the alleged gunman, said they can’t get through all the evidence in court before their original February 2 start date. White’s lawyer Bree West argued against gang-related evidence in their hearing, stating that they should first hear all claims of gang affiliation when the jury isn’t there.

On the other hand, prosecutors reportedly got permission to take pictures of White’s tattoos before the trial, as their claim that certain face and arm tattoos prove gang connections is a big part of their case. They will reportedly meet with the defense team next week to set a new trial date, asking for more time to review evidence.

Kewon White faces a near-nine-year prison sentence for a gun charge. It will run concurrently to the state murder case if convicted.

When Is Yella Beezy’s Trial?

As for Yella Beezy’s case, his lawyers recently argued that the state’s mountain of evidence in the trial is making it impossible for them to properly prepare for it. This reportedly includes surveillance footage from 18-wheelers that captured the Dallas highway chase that ended up taking Mo3’s life in 2020. Phone records allegedly support prosecutors’ claims that Yella Beezy hired Kewon White to murder Mo3, but we will see what a jury concludes.

While many fans believe both rappers had heavy beef leading up to the tragedy, they had previously downplayed those rumors in interviews. Beezy is currently out on a $750,000 bond following a March arrest last year on capital murder charges.

Yella Beezy’s trial has a hearing date set today (Friday, January 16), whereas the actual start date will be in February of this year, if everything goes according to schedule. His defense team’s argument that prosecutors buried them under a lot of unnecessary evidence could change this, though. As for Kewon White, we will soon learn when his trail will begin.
