Bebe Rexha was the most recent guest on Angie Martinez’s IRL podcast, where she discussed her artistic path and some spicy stories about fellow celebrities. At one point, Martinez asked her what type of guys she’s sliding in the DMs of, which led her to reveal she had an unsuccessful “shoot your shot” moment with Drake.

As caught by ZADCOZZY on Twitter, the singer said this was after Drake’s “20v1” speed dating event. For those unaware, he ended up giving gifts to his favorite contestants, and Rexha wanted to make her case.

“I was like, ‘I am your dream girl,'” she expressed. “‘I’m Albanian. I got a fat a**. I got my own thing going on for me.’ And I don’t even think he saw it. Or he saw it and just ignored it… Maybe you could be like, ‘Hey, I want to set you up with my friend.’ Because to me, if he goes, ‘Nah, I’m good on her,’ I’d be like, ‘Okay, he’s good on me.'”

“Anybody who’s dated Rihanna, you can never go up from there…” Bebe continued. “I think I bumped into him at an awards show one time. But he was with his crew, and there was some drama going on at the time. I was like, ‘Hey, daddy.’ And he gave me the dirtiest look. His security came to me and was like, ‘Do not call him that.’ […] At the Grammys, I was nominated that year for Best New Artist.”

Bebe Rexha’s Drake Claims

The artist clarified the DM didn’t say “read” and that he doesn’t follow her. Angie Martinez joked that she could write a song about this and even collaborate with Drizzy, potentially sparking studio chemistry.

Also, Bebe Rexha spoke about Drake watching Rihanna have a family with his enemy, A$AP Rocky. She didn’t say anything about the beef dynamics, but it was still a curious moment.

Elsewhere, there are other Drake celebrity crossovers that have popped up as of late. For example, Keke Palmer recently reflected on interviewing him at the Degrassi set in 2005. Maybe one day, the 6ix God will reveal if he really ghosted Bebe or just didn’t notice.

Karrahbooo Cries During Fiery Argument With Lil Yachty Over Writing Credits https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009283-karrahbooo-cries-argument-lil-yachty-writing-credits Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:03:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009283 Karrahbooo later returned to Lil Yachty's podcast after their argument, which shows their friendship is still experiencing strain.

The post Karrahbooo Cries During Fiery Argument With Lil Yachty Over Writing Credits appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Karrahbooo was once part of Concrete Boys alongside Lil Yachty, but their relationship soured quickly and very publicly. They clashed over him allegedly ghostwriting for her, financial disputes involving royalties, and more. But after tensions simmered, Yachty invited Karrah on the first episode of his new A Safe Place podcast season, and there is clearly still some friction.

As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, the two got into a heated argument about the ghostwriting accusations, with Lil Boat still saying he wrote a lot of material for the femcee and leading her to cry. Mitch, Yachty’s cohost, was visibly uncomfortable throughout the fight. Yachty said he hates how Karrah is saying she did a lot of work on her own, with her saying he’s misrepresenting his claims and not taking into account the small material she had released at the time. He said she wrote three records, taking credit for her “On The Radar” blow-up, and she claimed he’s lying and pushing the narrative due to ego.

Lil Yachty emphasized the group dynamic of Concrete Boys, whereas Karrahbooo felt like he was trying to make her look bad in the public eye. Eventually, they cut the segment off.

Lil Yachty & Karrahbooo’s Beef

But later on in the episode, Karrah returned, and Yachty apologized to her for all the drama between them over the last two years. She apologized as well for her remarks on the situation. Then, they spoke on misconstrued perceptions from the Internet about their dynamic, with Lil Boat praising their deep relationship and appreciating folks who were happy about Lil Yachty and Karrahbooo’s reconciliation.

“The most important thing that I learned is that hurt people do hurt things,” Yachty expressed. He said he lied about the extent of his involvement in people’s music and fashion, expressing regret over the public disparagement.

On the other hand, Karrah appreciated her collaborator’s sincerity and walked back her claims about him hating women and not being very active in his child’s life. Hopefully they continue to mend this bond even if they don’t collaborate as often.

But they might continue to work together. After all, they recently linked up on “Patched It Up” off the femcee’s new album, NOT DA 2.

Jhené Aiko Shuts Down Rumors That She Dissed Big Sean On “Westside Whimsey” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009282-jhene-aiko-big-sean-westside-whimsey-diss Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:52:16 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009282 Jhené Aiko's new album "Westside Whimsy" has a few lines that some interpreted as shots at Big Sean.

The post Jhené Aiko Shuts Down Rumors That She Dissed Big Sean On “Westside Whimsey” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A new album from Jhené Aiko might be the strongest indication that the summer is over and cuffing season has begun. However, the release of Westside Whimsey also had people suspecting that she’s ready to address her previous relationship with Big Sean. On the song, “He Belongs,” there were a few pointed lines that some interpreted as being about her ex, specifically about what led to their split.

“Can’t turn a fling into a real thing/ Can’t turn a promise to a wedding ring/ Can’t turn a hoe into a husband,” she sings.

Fans naturally suspected that it had to do with the fallout of their high-profile relationship with Big Sean. However, that isn’t the case. She addressed the suspicions on Threads shortly after the album dropped. One page cited those lyrics, claiming that the lines were about catching Big Sean. “Song is not about him,” she wrote.

Jhene Aiko Addresses Big Sean Speculation

Elsewhere, someone asked, “Someone who has listened to the new Jhene Aiko album: did she just rip into Big Sean all the way through?” Aiko then responded, “No.”

There are other lyrics on the project that people interpreted as a shot at Big Sean that haven’t been addressed directly. However, she did provide a more blanket statement, denying that she’s trying to drag the father of her son on her latest body of work. So far, Big Sean hasn’t responded on chimed in on the controversy that’s been unfolding on X and Instagram since the album dropped this morning. 

Westside Whimsey marks Jhené Aiko’s first album in six years following 2020’s Chilombo. She announced the album earlier this week before dropping it in its entirety. Westside Whimsey includes features from Ab-Soul, Tyga, Kendrick Lamar, and Larry June, who confirmed their relationship in August on “California Dream.”

N.O.R.E.

The post N.O.R.E. Denies Carmen Bryan’s Sexual Assault Allegations appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
In the middle of a beef with fellow hip-hop media figure DJ Vlad, N.O.R.E., real name Victor Santiago, is facing a sexual assault lawsuit from Carmen Bryan. She claims he sexually assaulted her at a Manhattan nightclub in 1999 while he was intoxicated, allegations he has outright denied via a statement from his lawyer posted to his Instagram Story yesterday evening (Thursday, September 10).

“The allegations by Ms. Bryan about invented interactions with Mr. Santiago from nearly three decades ago are entirely false,” attorney Leonard F. Lesser of Simon Lesser PC stated. “We will defend Mr. Santiago from this legally groundless lawsuit and look forward to exposing Ms. Bryan’s fabrications in court as we clear Mr. Santiago’s good name.”

Lesser also claimed Carmen Bryan “has a long history of making salacious and contested claims about public figures.” He mentioned the 2006 book It’s No Secret: From Nas to Jay-Z, From Seduction to Scandal–A Hip-Hop Helen of Troy Tells All and her 2018 book Life After Child Support: When The Checks Stop Coming. Lesser claimed the complete lack of any mention of N.O.R.E. in these accounts suggest Bryan is lying about the alleged sexual assault.

N.O.R.E. Lawsuit

Carmen Bryan, an entrepreneur formerly of Rush Management who shares a child with Nas, accused the rapper and podcaster of forcing himself on her in a packed club. The 20-page civil lawsuit alleged he “physically overpowered” her “committed an act of non-consensual digital penetration.” Per the lawsuit, Bryan’s pleas for N.O.R.E. to stop only manifested when other folks in the venue pulled him off her.

Also, she claimed he apologized to her twice for this alleged assault. In the complaint, Carmen Bryan claimed “pervasive sexism, sexual objectification, and ‘misogynoir’” in hip-hop led her to stay silent. She claimed she told Jay-Z, an on-and-off partner, about the situation, but also alleged she convinced him to not confront N.O.R.E. when he allegedly “threatened to confront [him] personally.”

Elsewhere, N.O.R.E.’s media beef with DJ Vlad was at the top of his mind. But these sexual assault allegations are now taking priority. His commentary hasn’t slowed down, so we’ll see if he discusses any of this publicly on other platforms or mediums.

The post Drew Findling Proclaims “The Voice Is Innocent” Amid Lil Durk Deliberations appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Lil Durk trial, in which he faces murder-for-hire-related charges, has been captivating hip-hop and beyond for a few weeks, and it’s about to wrap up. As of writing this article (the morning of Friday, September 11), jurors still haven’t finished their deliberation process, meaning they still haven’t decided on a verdict. But The Voice’s defense lawyer Drew Findling is confident the jury will take their side.

Via Twitter, journalist Michael Blackshire caught a video of the defense attorney speaking to a crowd outside the Los Angeles courthouse after jurors wrapped up their second day of deliberations yesterday (Thursday, September 10). “The Voice is innocent,” he told the crowd before walking away.

Drew Findling has spoken out about the Lil Durk case before, sitting down for a conversation with DJ Vlad on VladTV over a year ago. These moves have led to criticism, though. Trenches News, in a conversation with DJ Akademiks, blasted Findling for speaking about the case beforehand and supposedly revealing the defense strategy to prosecutors as a result of his media appearance.

While this is a speculative interpretation, it represents the media controversies the Durk trial has brought about. Regardless of these debates, the Chicago rapper’s defense team has been steadfast in their support and arguments.

Lil Durk’s Defense

Beyond Drew Findling, Durk also has Marissa Goldberg, Christy O’Connor, and Brian Steel on his legal defense team. Hip-hop fans will likely recognize Steel for his high-profile defense of Young Thug during the YSL RICO trial. Findling has also worked with various hip-hop stars like Cardi B, the Migos, Gucci Mane, and more.

Throughout Lil Durk’s trial process, the defense has painted him as an uninvolved individual in the fatal 2022 Los Angeles shooting of Lul Pab, which was allegedly intended as a hit on Quando Rondo. Defense attorneys questioned witnesses for the prosecution who alleged Durk orchestrated the whole thing.

On the other hand, prosecutors aim to show his alleged approval and compensation regarding the hit, via witnesses and evidence. While Durk’s team is confident, only the jury stands in his way now, and all must wait for their verdict.
