During the premiere for Street Fighter, 50 Cent revealed that Eminem was, in fact, supposed to be on the soundtrack. However, the legendary rapper had other plans.

Fif let it slip that Eminem abandoned the collaborations because he wanted to focus on his upcoming album. This information was known to the public, and 50 Cent gave a little smirk when he let it slip. Clearly, he knew that this was privileged information that he was unveiling.

When is Eminem Dropping His Next Album?

At this time, a release date for the new Eminem album has not been revealed. It has been two years since the release of The Death of Slim Shady. Em himself has yet to confirm or deny 50 Cent’s revelation. We imagine he will do so when he is ready.

It is an announcement that comes at an interesting time for Em. He has been catching major heat as of late for his upcoming collaboration with Kid Rock. The MAGA artist and Em don’t see eye-to-eye politically, but Em is giving him a verse anyway. Some feel betrayed by this, especially in the midst of a polarizing political environment.

Whatever the case may be, a new Eminem album is an exciting prospect. Let us know if you are excited in the comments below.

Per All Hip Hop, Mathis explained how he believes race played a role in Diddy’s punishment for alleged perks behind bars during an interview with The Art Of Dialogue. While initially joking about how Diddy made a “mafia play” from behind bars, alluding to the famous scene from Goodfellas, he said Diddy essentially paid people to be his staff behind bars, which isn’t a new concept.

Mathis explained that a lot of inmates pay upwards of $2,000 to have a guard sell them a cell phone in prison. “In that sense, he’s doing what they do. Those who can do, do. But what we got to understand: we can’t do what white folks do. That’s the mistake we make,” he said. “We think we’re gonna be treated just like they are.”

Judge Mathis Speaks On Diddy

He pointed to Harvey Weinstein and Martha Stewart as examples who’ve also had access to certain perks in prison without punitive measures. However, Mathis also explained how celebrities in the feds are treated better than those in certain state prisons where the wealthy are essentially extorted. 

“[Diddy] is just doing what the white folks do but he’s not white,” Mathis added. “When he sued the record label and the liquor company, and made it a racial issue, I believe that was part of the attack against him. Or a lot of the power there because some of those incidents, with Cassie and others… they had been years earlier. But coincidentally, when he sued those cats, boom. But we can’t do what they do.” 

Mathis pointed out how someone like Trump can speak freely as the president, whereas a Black person holding the same position would be held to an entirely different standard. Check the video above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics from What U Like

Shianne Brown will be the director of the documentary. Meanwhile, Passion Docs will produce alongside executive producers Kari Lia and Hamish Fergusson.

This new documentary is set to showcase the dysfunction of the trial and the miscarriage of justice at certain points. It promises to be the most comprehensive documentation of exactly what was going on behind the scenes.

“Major feature documentary covering the extraordinary rise and trial of Jeffery Williams, aka Young Thug, and his band of brothers from the streets of Atlanta,” the description reads. “Prosecutors set out to prove that he and his music label were actually a criminal street gang. High drama meets farce in this incredible story where a city and even rap itself are on trial.”

When is “Young Thug On Trial” Dropping

There is currently no official release date for the documentary. However, it was revealed that the documentary will be coming at some point in 2027. Needless to say, you won’t have to wait too long to watch it.

Netflix has never shied away from hip-hop documentaries. Back in 2022, they dropped off the Kanye West three-part series. Meanwhile, we also got 50 Cent’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning documentary.

Will you be watching Young Thug On Trial? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

During a recent interview with Power 106, Quavo announced that he has another solo project in the works, along with the other previously announced Migos-related projects.

“This album is just the beginning. This album just opening up the vault. We not finished. I got another album coming right after. I got the guys coming. Of course, we going to cook up the Migos project. And we working on Take project too,” he said.

Quavo Discusses Upcoming Releases

Quavo previously mentioned that he’s working on another Unc & Phew project that should be slated to drop at some point in 2027.

QHRÖMELIFE marked Quavo’s first solo project in three years following the release of Rocket Power in 2023. The album failed to make a splash in its first week, moving 13,000 album-equivalent units and debuting at 103 on the Billboard 200. In response to the backlash, he posted on X, “Yall got me fkd up watch dis!”

The album also marked the first time he and Offset were together on wax since Kanye West released “We Did It Kid” in 2022. Of course, the rift between Set and Quavo marked the decline of the Migos post-Culture III.

Quavo also announced that he and Offset were working together diligently for this upcoming Migos album. He said the project should be completed by the end of the year, with plans for a reunion tour afterward. 

We’ll keep you posted on any further updates on that. Check out the clip above and let us know how you feel about QHRÖMELIFE in the comments below.

Kill streaks like UAVs are replaced with snitches who spot enemies on the map. Meanwhile, air bombers are replaced with drive-by shootings. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come to the conclusion that this is being done in poor taste. The game is profiting off of real-life violence in Chicago, and is making a mockery of those who have died.

Even the vocal lines and gun names are played off as one big stereotype. It’s played off as one big joke, and while the game has gone viral, its popularity is for all the wrong reasons.

Hood Warfare 2 Is Just Racist

On social media, commenters immediately noted just how evil all of this is. The vocal lines received the most criticism, although there is no doubt that many take issue with the game’s premise.

Below, you can find a plethora of social media posts criticizing the game. Many noted that Trapstar Games isn’t even a black-led company. Instead, it is another example of white people mocking others for financial gain.

Social Media Reacts

There have been debates about games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto, and whether or not those games deserve the same criticism. For some, there is no difference between Hood Warfare 2 and GTA: San Andreas.

However, the tone of these two games is much different. San Andreas tells a complex story with complex characters. Rockstar Games hired voice actors from Los Angeles who could add real-world context to the story that was being told. Hood Warfare 2, on the other hand, doesn’t provide that same level of nuance. San Andreas was art. This new game is just mockery for mockery’s sake.

Let us know how you feel about all this in the comments below.

That said, there are still plenty of doubters and detractors out there. Some have accused her of being an industry plant. Others believe her rise was thanks to bots and label intervention. However, Doechii has remained steadfast in working on her craft and creating memorable art.

With the Swamp Sessions officially making a comeback, Doechii penned a letter to her fans on Monday, in which she revealed where she’s been ahead of her debut project. As she explains, she has become a student of the game and is looking to evolve hip-hop’s sound and history.

“I spent the last few years relearning Hip-Hop as a student,” Doechii revealed. “Studying it’s language, history & roots. Now I feel inspired to contribute to evolve it.”

Doechii Relearns Hip-Hop

Doechii went on to say that she is excited to showcase black womanhood in her art, and put it back at the forefront of hip-hop and pop. She is clearly very passionate about her next chapter, and that passion is contagious.

“A mission is brewing inside of me (a responsibility really) to see black womanhood exist at the center of Hip-Hop AND Pop,” Doechii continued.

As part of her first Swamp Sessions release, the artist dropped the song “Bombs,” which has received praise from her fanbase. Given her past releases, there is no doubt that Doechii has a track record of quality.

Her debut album is highly anticipated, and there is no reason to believe we will be disappointed.

“It got personal, but it wasn’t really personal. It was just like more of competition,” JÄY explained. “From my lens, I came out with Reasonable Doubt and [Steve Stoute] was in both of our ears.”

JÄY explained that Steve Stoute, whom he described as a “competitive chap,” was a mutual friend to him and Nas, who was supposed to feature on Reasonable Doubt. “He just never showed up to the studio,” Hov explained, adding that he didn’t take it personally but realized that he couldn’t rely on Nas. 

“We don’t have a problem. We’re never asking him for anything again. That’s the end of it. And then on his second album, he came out, and one of his lyrics was like–everyone knows I had the Lexus with the TV sets–and he goes, ‘Lex with TV sets the minimum, ill sex adrenaline,’” Hov recalled. “He was taking what I perceived to be shots. So that began, like, a cold war.”

JÄY-Z Reflects On Nas Beef

JÄY explained that it just escalated to a full-blown battle, emphasizing that no violence was ever involved. 

Without getting into further specifics of the subliminals and diss tracks they fired at each other afterward, Hov said they eventually “moved on” and are now “really good friends.”

“To his credit, he really rose to the occasion, I’ll say that. I don’t know how interested he was at being a recording artist at that time. Like, he would make an album or something, but he was just gone, would just disappear. And then after that, he was making music on a regular basis,” Hov continued.

He stopped short of giving himself credit for Nas’ run, but he felt as though their feud lit a fire in the Queensbridge artist. In the same breath, JÄY-Z gave Nas credit for sharpening his pen when he was at the height of his commercial career.

However, the social media star went viral thanks to her cameo on a Kick stream. SJC, otherwise known as Scuffed Jim Carrey, began taunting Bhad Bhabie on camera. Eventually, he said “Crash Me Outside,” which immediately went viral. However, Bhad Bhabie’s reaction made the clip what it is.

When she asked what SJC’s job was, he clapped back, saying he was Jim Carrey’s son. Bhad Bhabie was completely taken aback by this, as she couldn’t believe the son of a famous actor would stoop to these levels.

Later, Bhad Bhabie hopped on X, where she claimed that Le Vaughn was only arrested because he was woozy after hitting his head. She also made it clear that she was not in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

“My fiancé was in a car accident and ended up getting arrested because he hit his head and was slurring his speech and they thought that he was under the influence,” Bhad Bhabie wrote. “I was not in the car during the accident I pulled up to the scene after it happened then streamers came to stream the accident, not knowing that a celebrity was involved and once they realize it was me when I got out of the car to go up to my fiancé, they started rage beating me, and I gave them the show they were looking for I was not in the car and I’m not gonna keep repeating that I was not involved at all whatsoever in what my fiancé had going on with the car accident all I did was get woken up at 5:30 in the morning by my godmother telling me come on we gotta go LV was in a bad car accident. THATS ALL THATS IT!”

Needless to say, this has all been a stressful event for her and her family.

Is SJC Jim Carrey’s Son?

As for SJC…no, he is not Jim Carrey’s son. That is a complete lie that is used to gain clout on Kick. Jim Carrey has only one child, and she is his daughter.

This SJC character is yet another Kick grifter, doing whatever he can for a little bit of clout.

Weeks later, Cannon popped back up on Lil Wayne’s Instagram page. It was here that the legendary artist revealed that they were, in fact, engaged. This led to a lot of questions. After all, Cannon is considerably younger and does not have an established career like Wayne.

Regardless, the two appeared to be quite happy, and for fans, that’s what matters. Cannon had mostly remained quiet on social media in the aftermath of the announcement. That changed over the weekend, however, as Cannon actually revealed her engagement ring from Wayne.

Madi Cannon Reveals Ring From Lil Wayne

As you can probably imagine, the ring is massive, with a large yellow stone in the middle. At this time, it is unknown how much the ring cost. Although we’re sure Wayne could afford the three-month salary rule.

Lil Wayne has been engaged six times and was married once to Toya Johnson. The other engagements include Nivea, Trina, Dhea Sodano, La’Tecia Thomsa, and now, Madi Cannon.

Wayne’s relationship with Cannon has led to discourse and debate on social media. These debates mostly center around the age gap as well as Wayne’s recent dating history.

That said, Wayne and Cannon appear to be happy right now. As it stands, neither party has revealed a potential wedding date or whether plans are underway.
