Jadakiss Appears To Fire Back At 38 Spesh On Unreleased Fat Joe Collab

Aron A. — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 15:39:58 +0000

While Jadakiss has been getting in his podcaster bag with Fat Joe, that doesn’t mean he’s retired the microphone. The Joe & Jada Show has undoubtedly turned into one of the best podcasts in hip-hop right now, one that appears to be turning into a go-to for any press run. However, it’s also turning into the platform where Jadakiss and Fat Joe can address the public directly, especially when they get called out.

Most recently, the two of them debuted a new song titled “Aroma” alongside Stove God Cooks on the hook (who delivers a mean interpolation of Erykah Badu’s “On & On”), where Jadakiss seemingly addresses 38 Spesh. “I’ve been obliterating n***as for years/ Is this about a verse or is this about a career?/ Ask around, they tell you I’m the career repo,” Kiss raps on the song.

Fans quickly started to point out how this could be Jada’s way of firing back at 38 Spesh. Earlier this year, 38 Spesh revealed that he hasn’t been able to lock in a collaboration with Jadakiss since they worked together on “Sunday School” alongside Benny The Butcher.

What Did 38 Spesh Say About Jadakiss?

“Some people don’t wanna be outshined on the record. Like to be honest with you, I did a record with Benny and ‘Kiss, and I happened to have the best verse on the record. I smoked the record, and ‘Kiss never did a song with me again. And I don’t think he’ll ever do a song with me again,” he said. “You got a chance to come redeem yourself, ‘Kiss. Come on, come outside, n***a. He been duckin’ me since. Y’all gonna have to reorder your top fives.”

Evidently, Jadakiss didn’t take kindly to the callout. Shortly after that clip went viral, another clip surfaced where the Kiss Tha Game Goodbye rapper explained that he was heading back into the booth. “I’m ’bout to go in the lab, I’m ’bout to do some samurai swording,” he said. “You know what I mean? They asked for it. I tried to be a father, a businessman, but they wanna bring me outta my element.”

Lil Durk’s Attempt To Split Murder Charges Shut Down By Feds

Aron A. — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 14:42:41 +0000

Lil Durk’s legal team has been working overtime to try to beat his murder-for-hire case. But with the trial kicking off next month and the feds presenting new charges, it’s looking even more of an uphill battle. After the rapper’s team filed a request to split charges or get the case tossed, the government made it clear that he would have to go through trial.

According to All Hip Hop, Durk’s team initially asked to separate the recently filed gang murder charge from the original murder-for-hire tied to Lul Pub’s death. The argument surrounded how the new charges could force a trial delay and infringe on Durk’s right to a speedy trial. He’s already spent more than 21 months behind bars since his arrest.

However, the government opened its filing with a reminder of how Durk was booking flights when his co-defendants were arrested in Chicago and ultimately, arrested by the tarmac of a private jet. Moreover, they argue that each count that he’s charged with shares similar evidence. If they were to split the trials, then it would require witnesses to testify twice. There have already been issues regarding witness tampering, specifically with reports of threats towards witnesses and their families. Plus, the issue of photos from inside the courtroom making their way online. Ultimately, they argued that “requiring these witnesses to repeat their testimony in multiple trials strongly militates in favor of a joint trial.”

Lil Durk’s Alleged Incriminating Texts

The report also says that prosecutors cited the murder of Stephon Mack in their response to Durk’s request, specifically in how it re-entered the trial. Two men pleaded guilty in separate federal cases to the charge while admitting that they tried to collect a bounty for Mack’s death from Durk. This includes a text message revealing how they waited for Durk to return to Chicago and a recorded confession from behind bars, both of which, prosecutors say, wouldn’t have entered the case had they not secured the convictions first. Additionally, there was allegedly a text from Durk where he asked everyone to “delete thread and start new one” over concerns surrounding the police investigation.

Ultimately, prosecutors pin the long investigation on Durk, claiming that he tried to conceal evidence and even asked for the trial to be pushed back from 2024 to October 2025. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates surrounding the trial.

Rick Ross Refuses To Believe The Rumor That Floyd Mayweather Is Broke

Alexander Cole — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 14:42:40 +0000

Rick Ross is someone who has certainly been focused on money over the years. Ironically, fans are currently in the midst of doubting just how much money Ross actually has. Of course, this comes after his recent excursion at the airport, where he was seen flying commercial.

Since that so-called controversy, Ross has been looking to show people that he’s still got it like that. With his album Set In Stone dropping on July 17, Ross has made it clear that the label has already paid him for the record.

Now, Ross is defending the likes of Floyd Mayweather, who has also been through a money controversy of sorts. There are reports that the boxing legend is broke. That his hundreds of millions of dollars worth of career earnings have been squandered.

While talking to Instagram, Ross revealed that he doesn’t believe any of these reports are accurate. Instead, he is confident that Mayweather is still rich and will continue to be for the long haul.

Rick Ross Gives His Take On Floyd Mayweather

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Ross’ reasoning is simple. Mayweather is still the face of boxing. As a result, there are still various ways for him to make money, and lots of it. Whether that be through fighting or through fight promotions.

Mayweather was supposed to fight Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao this year. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though either of those fights is actually going to happen. This has certainly contributed to some of the narratives surrounding the boxing legend.

Whether or not Ross is correct about Mayweather remains to be seen. Mayweather’s wealth always seems to be a hot topic of conversation, and this time around is no different.

Marcellus Wiley Responds To Rape Allegations, Claims Wife Put “Voodoo Spell” On Him

Alexander Cole — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:55:08 +0000

Marcellus Wiley was arrested in Florida over the weekend for alleged domestic violence. The former NFL player allegedly got into an altercation with his wife, Annemarie, who subsequently filed for divorce.

In her divorce filing, Annemarie Wiley accused her husband of raping her on multiple occasions. Furthermore, she alleged that the former NFL player has hit her multiple times over the years, and even threw a Coca-Cola bottle at her head while she was pregnant.

Taking to X on Tuesday night, Marcellus Wiley offered his response to the allegations. He denies the allegations made against him. Moreover, he is accusing his wife of putting a “voodoo spell” on him and his family. He also claims to have evidence that his wife is the alleged abuser in this situation.

Marcellus Wiley Says His Piece

Divorce Response:

I love my children with everything I am. My highest priority has always been protecting them and preserving the relationship they have with both of their parents. Because of the public allegations made against me by Annemarie, I have been forced to respond with…

Per Marcellus Wiley:

“I love my children with everything I am. My highest priority has always been protecting them and preserving the relationship they have with both of their parents. Because of the public allegations made against me by Annemarie, I have been forced to respond with evidence rather than emotion. More importantly, I owe it to my children to truthfully document what they and I have endured.

To do that, I must address the lies Annemarie has told about me by telling the truth about her and our marriage. Over the years, I have compiled videos, photographs, text messages, emails, and other evidence that directly contradicts those baseless claims and provides a factual record of our family and the events leading to this unfortunate divorce. That record includes evidence of Annemarie’s repeated infidelity—including an affair with her pregnant friend’s husband—serious and damaging parenting failures, a “voodoo spell” she cursed over my family, as well as fans she claimed “hated her” from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, along with many, many other unflattering documented events. To be frank, many friends, family members, and fans have opined that after she was kicked off The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she lost her mind! Unfortunately, I must agree.

I never wanted my family’s issues and struggles to become public for any reason, including divorce leverage. But I unfortunately knew this day was inevitable. I was willing to endure anything—even hell itself—if it meant being with my children every single day. I am their hero, and now I am fighting to make sure the positive and real image they know of me is the one that endures.

I am prepared to address these allegations and related matters through the legal process and with evidence. My focus remains on my children, my integrity, and the truth. Thanks for your understanding.”

This is a developing story. Stay tuned to HNHH for updates as we will continue to bring you all of the latest information.

Kodak Black Says He, Kendrick Lamar, And Kanye West Form The “KKK”

Alexander Cole — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:37:20 +0000

Kodak Black has left fans feeling concerned over the years. In numerous videos posted to social media, Kodak has appeared incoherent. Concerns surrounding his alleged drug use continue to be a talking point amongst fans, and last night, those concerns were brought back to the forefront.

The artist was hosting a live stream, in which he was connecting with his supporters. During the live stream, Kodak appeared to be in an inebriated state. From there, he went on numerous lengthy rants, some of which implicated artists like Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar.

For instance, Kodak claims he, Kanye, and Kendrick all form a group called the “KKK.” He says all three artists are “woke” and that they share a common ideology. “We black jews, we Israelites,” Kodak said.

Kodak Black Speaks To His Fans

Kodak Black reveals that his group name with Ye and Kendrick Lamar is called “KKK” because they’re all woke and Jewish

His use of the KKK is ultimately what has captured people’s attention. Ultimately, Kanye West has been trying to distance himself from controversial ideologies. With Kodak Black stating that Ye is in a group called the “KKK,” there is now some unfortunate attention on the Bully artist.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar is being lumped into this. Of course, Lamar took quite a bit of flak back in 2022 for including Kodak on his album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Even today, there are some fans who believe this was a huge misstep for the artist.

That said, it is clear that Kodak Black is not in the right state of mind right now. It is certainly an unfortunate clip to watch, and you can only hope that Kodak is able to find some help in the near future. Live streams are not the place for the artist right now, especially with fans egging on this behavior.

Human Again – Song by Genesis Owusu

Alexander Cole — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:34:08 +0000

Genesis Owusu has been extremely consistent when it comes to delivering fantastic albums. His most recent was a major success, and one that came with some prescient political commentary. Now, he is back with a single called “Human Again,” which shows off some of his catchiest songwriting to date. From the production to the groove of the hook, this is meant to be a song you dance to. One has to wonder if Genesis Owusu is looking to dive into this sound for an entire album, or if this is simply a one-off. Either way, we’re completely locked in.

Genre: Hip-Hop, Dance Music

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Human Again

Took me by the tongue but I’m fluent again
I like the way you cut me, can you do it again
This poison got me feeling like I’m human again
You put up all the walls, I go through it again
