As caught by Rap on Instagram, the distributor took to its Instagram page earlier today (Sunday, March 29) to post a Story responding to these streaming reports. Ye’s album reportedly amassed 33.2 million streams on Spotify in its first day on the platform. But Gamma claims that this number is higher, specifically responding to chart data‘s post on the matter on Twitter.

“Since they are giving a partial view, we’ll share a more accurate one,” the distributor’s post read. “BULLY did close to 50M in its first full day at Spotify. That would make it one of the biggest first weeks of the year on Spotify alongside BTS and Harry Styles, and the biggest hip-hop release of the year on Spotify far exceeding J. Cole. “Father” did 4.1M streams on Spotify in its first full day globally.”

They also shared a screenshot of an alleged report that claimed almost 112 million streams for Bully in total, as of when they posted it. But it’s unclear if this is just for Spotify or across other streaming services.

Either way, they want to set the record straight and refute these reports. For comparison, J. Cole’s The Fall-Off reportedly earned around 35 million Spotify streams in its first day on the platform back in February of this year.

Kanye West’s J. Cole Disses

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by RapTV (@rap)

For those unaware, Kanye West is not a big J. Cole fan. Ye spent a lot of time dissing him over the past few years. Most recently, he said Cole makes music for virgins in April of last year and expressed how much he despises his music. Maybe that “False Prophets” diss from the Fayetteville MC all those years ago is still a sore spot…

As such, some fans may not help but feel like this “far exceeding” comment is a dig at the Dreamville artist. Still, it’s probably just a coincidence, as Cole’s new album was very successful. But if Gamma really wanted to put Ye at the top, they would’ve referenced A$AP Rocky and his Don’t Be Dumb album, which got marginally more Spotify streams than The Fall-Off in its first day on the platform.

Then again, the North Carolina lyricist still has love for the Yeezy mogul despite his attacks. So maybe this is just friendly competition…

The post Kanye West’s “Bully” Distributor Mocks J. Cole While Refuting First Day Streams appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

He had accused Thug of threatening his life in an altercation at Druski’s “Coulda Been Love” reunion last night (Saturday, March 29) in Miami. White threatened to press charges and file for a restraining order, warning that Thugger could go back to jail over this if he’s successful. The ATL MC hasn’t publicly addressed this at press time, so we’ll see how the story continues to develop. This threat also included White’s claims that he wants to get Thug in probation trouble.

Regardless of that outcome, Charleston is adding fuel to the fire on Instagram. He shared a court document from Thug’s YSL RICO trial in which his legal team fought against a detective’s claims that he gave information about a murder case in the back of a police car.

Charleston White claims he has paperwork proving these snitching allegations, although the document he shared shows Thug’s legal team denying them. He also accused Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel of suppressing this alleged evidence in court.

This debacle did not play into the YSL RICO trial. However, it did lead to rampant snitching allegations against the YSL artist last year due to leaked alleged interrogation footage. In another Instagram video, White continued berating Thugger for his alleged threats.

Charleston White’s Beef With Young Thug

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Charleston J White (@charlestonwhite46)

Charleston White’s been very critical of Young Thug in the past, even before these alleged threats happened. Previously, he blasted Thug’s “f**k the streets” proclamations in support of 21 Savage.

“Stand on that s**t, n***a,” White ranted on social media late last year. “You n***as talked all that s**t, killed people, white boy thumped you n***as upside the head, you n***as got probation… And now you n***as hollering, ‘F**k the streets’? No. F**k you n***as. 21 Savage, we are not letting you n***as off the hook that easy ’cause your partners told… You n***as broke the code.”

But Charleston White’s snitching comments related to Young Thug don’t always place Jeffery as the culprit. He also blasted Lil Woody back in 2024 for snitching on Thug, although he probably feels very different about that nowadays.

According to Kurrco on Instagram, the new project amassed 33.2 million streams in total across all its tracks on Spotify in the first 24 hours of its release. This tops the number set by Vultures 2 a few years ago. The Ty Dolla $ign collab record sequel amassed 24.7 million Spotify streams in the same timeframe.

Of course, that technically wasn’t Kanye’s last streaming release. He rereleased Donda 2 on there years after its exclusive Stem Player drop, but the numbers there are less clear. Even with this promising improvement from Vultures 2, though, Bully doesn’t match the massive attention that previous records like the first Vultures and the first Donda got earlier in the 2020s.

Nevertheless, these first day Bully streams show that the Chicago artist still commands attention on impact. What remains on the table is whether or not this early performance will translate into impressive first week sales numbers.

Where Did Kanye West Release Bully?

The release of Kanye West’s Bully was unsurprisingly rocky, as the album was only available via a YouTube livestream on the day it was supposed to come out (Friday, March 27). Then, the next day (Saturday, March 28), Ye dropped the whole thing on Spotify. But it took a couple of hours more to hit Apple Music, where it eventually landed at number one on their United States album charts across all genres.

Also, fans are breaking down the meaning behind Kanye West’s Bully. In an alleged text from 2024, Ye explained the title and his intent.

“The next album is called BULLY,” he allegedly wrote. “Sometime you the BULLY. Sometimes your partner is the BULLY. Your boss. Your kids. Society. The devil. Even God can be your BULLY. God Why you beating me down like this … So nothing directly about me. Something a high school [kid] can relate to.”

In a video posted to the Internet, Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff’s son called Jimmy amid his jail stay to speak on this speculation. This was 50’s alleged caption of a seemingly since-deleted IG post: “LMAO JIMMY THE RAT GOT POKED UP IN THE JOINT. It’s hard to be tuff around tuff [ninja emoji]. LOL.”

“Liars will always be liars,” Jimmy Henchman responded to 50 Cent. “People who always listen to rappers, that’s what they’re going to get. They’re going to get a bunch of lies. Especially lying-a** rappers. At the end of the day, I’m well and fine, brother. False rumor all the way. I’ve been down 15 years and nothing has happened to me, man… I ain’t never been to no PC, ran up, ain’t nothing happened to me. I ain’t never even had arguments since I been down. This is the second time this liar done put a rumor out there that I got stabbed up… Only concern is coming home to my family.”

From there, Henchman claimed 50 Cent and his crew already tricked him once and got him in prison, and that it won’t happen again. He called Fif a fake trap for the police, which he won’t bite.

50 Cent & Jimmy Henchman’s Beef

For those unaware, 50 Cent’s beef with Jimmy Henchman stems from the latter’s business associations with The Game, whom 50 has a heavy feud with. Authorities locked Henchman up and convicted him over accusations that he organized the murder of G-Unit affiliate Lodi Mack.

We will see if the G-Unit mogul has anything to say about this response or if he lets it roll off his shoulder. Either way, we doubt 50 Cent and Jimmy Henchman’s historic tensions will die down anytime soon. At least, by Jimmy’s own account, nothing dangerous happened to him.

Quotable Lyrics from Child Boy (FREESTYLE)

The Hermès box orange like a Hi-C,
F**k these n***as, I sit at the high seat,
She so thick, in a while, she’ll have knock knees,
I went diamond without eating broccoli

The post Child Boy – Song by Lil Yachty appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

As caught by Livebitez on Instagram, about a week ago, Zay shared an edited image of him caressing the Atlanta femcee’s belly, as visible in her pregnancy announcement post. “I guess the cats out the bag now, I can’t believe it,” he captioned the post. “I’m loss for words this moment means everything to me. The fact that we’re bringing our family together this is all I could ever ask for makes me one of the most happiest men on this earth. congratulations to us.”

In the week since, Zay apparently shared the post on his IG Story, and may have tagged 21. That’s because 21 allegedly saw this Story post about the pregnancy and fatherhood joke. Lil Zay also responded to coverage of this on some Instagram Story posts of his own.

The posts remarked on his trolling and how he got the Atlanta MC’s attention. Zay also responded to “sensitive” backlash from “annoying asf” fans who “can’t take no jokes,” pointing to many other folks making similar jokes who aren’t getting as much pushback.

Many fans presumed that 21 might find this funny, and Lil Zay was reportedly happy to share his catching of the post online. But we won’t know until Savage speaks up.

Is 21 Savage Still Married?

In fact, 21 Savage recently addressed Latto’s pregnancy announcement after keeping quiet for a few days. “Big Mama Not The Little 1,” he captioned a repost on his Instagram Story of his purported partner’s PAPER Magazine cover.

However, this presumed parenthood announcement for both MCs fell under scrutiny due to 21 Savage’s marriage amid his purported Latto relationship. He reportedly married Keyanna Joseph in 2020 after his visa case, but she reportedly liked the femcee’s pregnancy announcement on Instagram. It’s unclear exactly where they all stand at press time, but it looks amicable right now.

As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, White took to Instagram to share a video of the alleged altercation. In it, he yells at Thugger and his entourage from a distance. Also, in the video’s caption, Charleston accused the Atlanta MC and his entourage of threatening his life and trying to attack him. He claimed that Thug said “You’re going to lose your life right here” while on Federal Aviation Administration property in Miami, threatening to press charges for alleged “terroristic threats.”

In another Instagram video, Charleston White blasted Young Thug, speaking on his probation and alleging more details about the alleged altercation. He also doubled down on claims that one of Thug’s colleagues toted a gun during their alleged threats. White said he plans to press charges tomorrow (Monday, March 30) and fears for his life, hoping to file a restraining order against Thugger and contact federal authorities.

When Did Young Thug Get Out Of Jail?

These threats from Charleston White to Young Thug circle around Thug’s past legal trouble, specifically the YSL RICO case. He finally left jail after two years on October 31 of 2024 after his mixed no contest plea.

Charleston White’s criticisms of Young Thug also extend to the Atlanta snitching scandal that went down last year. There are still some leftover narratives from that, but it’s clear these two hold little love for each other at this point.

Still, that doesn’t mean these allegations from White have been confirmed, so we’ll have to wait for more developments. In any case, this could be a massive problem for both depending on how far things go in other areas.

The post Young Thug Allegedly Pressed Charleston White At Druski’s “Coulda Been Love” Reunion appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

As caught by Livebitez on Instagram, a fan allegedly sent the boxer footage of Remy attending a Cardi B concert recently, which her ex also posted about online. However, it’s unclear if he actually attended. The fan then trolled Shields and claimed that the former couple actually linked up at the show, which she denied outright.

In fact, she had a lewd response to the allegations, saying that her partner stayed home with her and was being intimate with her on the night of the concert. Claressa denied everything outright, questioning the scrutiny behind Pap’s Cardi post.

But again, this is an alleged exchange. She hasn’t confirmed or denied it on her social media pages at press time, although she did recently retweet a post about dismissing gossip. Nobody else involved has seemingly responded at press time either.

Remy Ma & Papoose’s Relationship Timeline

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

For those unaware, Papoose and Remy Ma’s broken-down relationship began sometime in 2004, when they reportedly met through DJ Kay Slay. They tied the knot over the phone while Remy was in prison in 2008, holding a formal wedding ceremony eight years later.

But cheating allegations surrounding both of them built up to their separation in 2024, with Eazy The Block Captain in Remy’s case and Claressa Shields in Pap’s. Both of them continue to deny cheating rumors. Since then, though, things have been very contentious between the two.

What’s more is that this isn’t the first alleged time that Claressa Shields responded to Remy Ma and Papoose rumors. She previously clapped back at claims that the former couple spent Christmas together.

With all this in mind, we will see if we get confirmation on this alleged exchange from any celebrity featured in these reunion rumors. But considering the precedent, they will all most likely continue to ward off any gossip about them without their cosign.

“The next album is called BULLY,” he allegedly wrote, as caught by Bars on Instagram. “Sometime you the BULLY. Sometimes your partner is the BULLY. Your boss. Your kids. Society. The devil. Even God can be your BULLY. God Why you beating me down like this … So nothing directly about me. Something a high school [kid] can relate to.”

Given that Kanye West’s lyrical content on Bully touches on backlash, redemption, perseverance, and strength, this explanation makes sense. It’s only been a few days since the LP came out, though, so listeners are still assessing the themes.

Also, considering Ye’s controversies this decade, this thematic approach is unsurprising. In recent months, he has tried to take accountability for bigotries like antisemitism, although some fans remain skeptical.

Is There AI On Bully?

A post shared by Bars (@bars)

Nevertheless, that conversation is in the background these days. Rather, fans are mostly focusing on the music and scrutinizing the tracklist. More specifically, there has been a big shift on this new Ye album regarding his use of artificial intelligence technology, as he promoted the use of AI on Bully months before the record actually came out.

However, in the immediate lead-up to this new album, Kanye West denied the presence of AI on Bully. Some listeners continue to express skepticism over this and pore over alleged examples, but it’s tough to call at press time. If anything, the lack of AI after teasing it for so long grounds the album in its title’s themes.

Elsewhere, other fan reactions to Kanye West’s Bully album are divided between loving the atmosphere and finding it barebones. At least many fans agree it’s better than most of Ye’s 2020s output so far. With his alleged context for its themes, die-hards can understand it a little deeper.
