Hitkidd & Lil Gotit Would Rather Be “Secluded” On New Single: Stream

Hitkidd recently boosted up his production repertoire again on his prolific streak, teaming up with Lil Gotit for this new single, “Secluded.” Moreover, it’s a woozy cut with bright keys, stark but hard-hitting trap percussion, and a lot of dreamy atmosphere to really put you in a trance. Lyrically, the Atlanta spitter is boasting about the usual flexes with some simple but sharp bars, particularly placing an emphasis on how they’re moving silently and “posted somewhere you can’t be at.” While the “How I’m Pose To Live” MC keeps more or less the same few flows throughout, his energetic vocal delivery does more than enough to keep his lyrics fresh and engaging.

Furthermore, this marks a bit of a departure from what the Memphis producer has been doing recently. He’s done a lot to put on for his city’s classic sounds, recently teaming up with a host of fiery femcees for the Renegade project. However, across Hitkidd’s other production credits, including Bladee and Lil Uzi Vert, there’s clearly a lot of versatility and fundamental skills within his skillset. It also helps that Lil Gotit knows how to approach a track like “Secluded” with a healthy balance of force and calm patience in his performance, highlighting the instrumental’s intoxicating qualities. It’s exactly what he crafted on previous singles like “Dr. Marten,” so while this isn’t an exciting reinvention, it at least keeps the quality standard up to snuff.

Lil Baby & DJ Akademiks Feud Over Allegedly Painted Nails

It appears as though Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks are at it again, this time over some allegedly painted nails. Yesterday, Ak took to social media to call the rapper out for a clip from his new music video. In the clip, Lil Baby is seen flipping the bird, and his middle finger looks suspiciously shiny. Ak was quick to make note of this and to accuse the “Greedy” performer of wearing nail polish.

“Dis n***a ain’t been the same since then Michael Rubin parties,” he replied to the clip. “I kno his nails not painted .. man wats going on in rap.” He didn’t stop there, however. He went on to share a photo of Lil Baby alongside some male friends at Rubin’s iconic Independence Day white party last year. “The day we lost Lil Baby,” he captioned the post.

Lil Baby Denies Having Painted Nails

Lil Baby didn’t hesitate to fire back. Shortly after DJ Akademiks posted the accusations, he hopped online to respond. He took to his Instagram Story with a photo of his hand, highlighting his unpainted nails. “Y’all blogs gotta stop just posting anything,” he wrote. “I ain’t painting my MF nails. At this point y’all gotta see n***as like Akademiks got an agenda. Miss me with that weird sh*t (No lol).” While he insists his own nails weren’t painted, he wouldn’t be the first rapper to rock the look.

Drake, for example, frequently flexes his polished nails proudly. According to him, he keeps them polished to prevent himself from biting them. He’s previously called out those hating on him for it, calling the backlash homophobic. What do you think of Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks beefing again? What about the rapper denying having his nails painted? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks Are Beefing Again

Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks are back beefing after Ak called the Atlanta rapper out for appearing to wear nail polish in a new music video.

DJ Akademiks Calls Out Lil Baby

On Thursday night (March 28), Akademiks reposted a clip of a new Lil Baby music video on X, formerly known as Twitter. In the clip, which can be seen below, the Quality Control rapper appears to have on nail polish in some scenes where he is flipping the bird to the camera.

“Dis n***a ain’t been the same since then Michael Rubin parties… I kno his nails not painted .. man wats going on in rap,” Ak captioned the clip.

In a follow-up post, he shared a photo of Lil Baby at billionaire entrepreneur Michael Rubin’s 2023 July 4th party along with the caption, “The day we lost Lil Baby.”

Lil Baby Responds

Lil Baby responded a few hours later to Ak calling him out.

“Y’all blogs gotta stop just posting anything,” Baby wrote on his Instagram Story, along with a selfie showing himself from the waist down. “I ain’t painting my MF nails. At this point y’all gotta see n***as like Akademiks got an agenda. Miss me with that weird s**t (No lol).”

This is not the first time Baby and Ak have had an issue. Lil Baby dissed Ak on his 2022 album It’s Only Me for taking shots at Baby. In response, Ak said he would testify against Lil Baby in court.

Rick Ross Trolls Drake Over Millie Bobby Brown Sexual Grooming Accusations

Many Hip-Hop fans wondered what angles Drake’s opponents would take as part of the ongoing battles playing out. Rick Ross decided to reference the sexual misconduct rumors against the Canadian rapper as an attack.

Drake and Rick Ross have been going back and forth on songs and social media for over a week. On Thursday (April 18), Ross used his Instagram Stories to take a shot at Drizzy by touching on grooming accusations.

“That right there. I know Drake would’ve loved that like Millie Bobby Brown. He would have been all in them DMs,” Ross stated while promoting his upcoming car show on June 1.

In 2018, then-14-year-old Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown disclosed she and Drake would send “I miss you” texts to each other. That admission led to backlash over a 31-year-old man regularly conversing with a teenage girl.

Drake’s text conversations with then-17-year-old singer Billie Eilish also raised concerns for some people. The OVO Sound co-founder addressed the Millie Bobby Brown grooming accusations on his “Another Late Night” song.

“Weirdos in my comments talking ‘bout some Millie Bobby, look. Bring them jokes up to the gang, we get to really flockin’,” Drake rapped on the For All The Dogs track featuring Lil Yachty.

Chance The Rapper Uses Birthday Wish As Call-To-Action To Free Young Thug

Chance The Rapper is celebrating his birthday in an unconventional way by using his grand solar return and social media channels as a platform to petition for Young Thug’s prison release.

On Tuesday (April 16), Chance shared a post on Instagram featuring presumably a throwback video of he and Thug calmly chopping it up stamped with the text “Top 2 DOA [Dead or Alive].” In the caption of the post the “No Problems” rapper revealed that his sole wish for his birthday was for Thug to be able to be with his family as the ongoing YSL RICO trial continues.

“For my birthday I just wish my brother was home with his family,” Chance wrote in part.

As Chance continued, he appeared to criticize the trial, which has been plagued by a number of stoppages and misconduct and subsequently added to Thug’s time behind bars.

“This circus of a trial has had him in custody for over a year and with all the legal errors, jury misconduct and conflicts of interest by the state he deserves to at the very least fight this from home,” he wrote.

A post shared by Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper)

Over the years, Chance The Rapper and Young Thug have built out a stealthy yet healthy collaborative footprint. Likely the duo’s most notable collaboration arrived on Chance The Rapper’s fan-favorite mixtape, Acid Rap, in the form of the track “Mixtape” featuring Lil Yachty. In 2021, Young Thug added a guest verse on for the Chicago native’s Instagram EP track “Instagram Song 8” and prior to that, they joined forces for the 2017 track “Big B’s.” Thug also notably made a cameo in the official music video for Chance The Rapper’s Grammy-Award winning hit, “No Problem featuring Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz, which included cameos from DJ Khaled and Boosie Badazz, among others.

Chance The Rapper’s appeal for Young Thug’s freedom arrives amid a tumultuous shift in the YSL RICO trial after the full list of 200-plus witnesses was released and it was confirmed Gunna would not be taking the stand against his rap mentor.

Additionally, along with the judge presiding over the trial threatening to schedule court dates on the weekend, a witness, whose identity remains confidential for their safety, accused an investigator identified by his last name of Hamilton of engaging in sexual harassment.

Rick Ross Demands Drake Apologize & Confess To Having  BBL, Drizzy Responds

Drake and Rick Ross are still going at it! 

The MMG honcho and the OVO boss have taken the beef to social media and are exchanging shots via Instagram Stories. Rozay doubled down on accusing Lil Yachty of being Drizzy’s ghostwriter before addressing Drake directly. 

“I’m the bigger person, I’m a boss. Drake, I’m gonna give you the opportunity to apologize,” Ross said in a video. “First and foremost you gotta admit, confess you got your nose, your nose reduction. And confess you got a BBL. And I understand, I know what it’s like having those f#### on your stomach and that sweat being under there, you ain’t wanna do that, you wanted to just [say] f### a gym, n####. … You could go get it done, and you did it. Just confess.”  

Ross also urged Drake to upgrade his private jet, suggesting it was made in 1978, and told him to help out Birdman. Ross mocked Birdman over the weekend over his “Stunna Island” mansion.  

“White boy, white boy, BBL Drizzy, I got a question,” he said. “I saw you posted you got more money than Ricky Rozay, and let’s assume you did. Well your best friend Birdman, his house went into foreclosure five years ago. You done watched that man struggle them five years and ain’t get that man a mansion? ‘Cause if you got more money than Rozay, what’s another 50 million, white boy?” 

Rick Ross then gave Drake a 48-hour deadline to buy Birdman another mansion. “The countdown has begun,” he declared. “N#### your nose fake, your stomach fake, you don’t write raps, your biggest homie’s in foreclosure.” 

Drake eventually fired back at Ross, responding to a post about selling his last home in the United States for $88 million. 

“Look how I talk to this turkey,” Drake wrote, sharing his DM to Ross. “You shoulda just asked for another feature.” 

He teased Ross saying, “Imagine you having 88 million to spend on a crib,” before mocking his home.  

“Your lot 40000 square feet my crib 40000 square feet Leonard. And you put a wrap on your timeshare jet that s### coming off when it’s the other people turn to fly,” he added.  

Instagram/Drake

Drake then posted an aerial view of Ross’ Star Island mansion in Miami. “Rick you sandwiched in (which is on brand) cause the vacant land not yours,” he wrote. “This s### the Miami starter pack you living in a content creator crib.” 

Rick Ross clapped back at Drake for sending him paragraphs to read and continuing the ghostwriter accusations.  

“Ain’t nothing wrong with talking s###, but Drake, you gotta keep it at one line,” Ross replied. That s### you doing gotta take 20 minutes. One line or don’t DM me no more. … I know why Drake don’t do what I do when I talk and he don’t talk, he’ll take a picture and post ’cause he got ghostwriters for his f###### captions.”
