Drake’s Purple Painted Nails Blamed For Loss To Kendrick Lamar 

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Drake bragged about his manicure in his Kendrick Lamar diss “Push Ups,” but his latest purple nail color has fans saying he could never beat the Compton native in a battle.  


“Drizzy Chip ‘n Dale, probably got your b#### Chanel,” Drake rapped on his Lamar diss. “I just got ’em done, boy, don’t make me have to chip a nail.” 

However, although Drizzy looks set to drop a response to K. Dot’s “Euphoria” diss any day now, some fans believe he’s already lost the battle. A video of Drake sporting purple nails is being cited as the reason Drake will never beat Kendrick Lamar.  

A clip of the Toronto megastar hugging Birdman has gone viral with fans honing in on Drake’s latest nail art with many claiming he put the “purple-colored) nail in his own coffin.  

“Wait Drake got his nails painted .. alright I’m on Kendrick side now dawg,” one fan shared. 

“Purple painted nails! Kendrick was right Drake wants to be a bad bish,” another person added, referring to a lyric from Lamar’s “Euphoria.” 

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Drake told fans at Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 Tour stop in Toronto that he’s readying a response to Kendrick. “You know what time it is,” he told the crowd before departing. “You know what I gotta do.”  

It isn’t the first time Drake has come under fire for painting his nails. Last year, he questioned if the world was homophobic after being “gay,” “feminine,” and “corny” by critics of his colored manicure.





Angel Reese Refuses To Pick Sides In Drake Vs Kendrick Lamar Battle

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Angel Reese is a competitor. She knows what it takes to win, and she doesn’t have a problem getting in people’s faces to prove it. Reese is famous for speaking her mind, on and off the court, but she decided to draw the line during a recent Q&A with the Chicago Sky. The basketball team was asked whether they preferred Drake or Kendrick Lamar in the ongoing rap battle, but Reese was one of the few who dodged the question. Instead of picking a side, the WNBA stalwart decided to play it safe.

The majority of the Chicago Sky team answered the prompt, and the majority of them picked Drake. It’s fitting that the guy who made the “Best I Ever Had” music video has the support of the WNBA. Reese, on the other hand, opted for a more diplomatic approach. She made it clear that she doesn’t want to cause any additional strife between the rappers.

More importantly, though, she didn’t want the headache of having to deal with various news outlets hyping up her answer. “I’m not getting in this controversy because I’ll be on Twitter, The Shade Room, all that,” Reese explained. “Nope!”

Angel Reese Wants To Avoid The Controversy

This isn’t the first time Reese has avoided the “Drake or Kendrick” question. The athlete was asked to pick during the red carpet for the WNBA Draft, but she told Complex she didn’t want any part of it. “I don’t want to get in the mix,” she said. “I’m out the mix!”

Angel Reese has publicly spoken about Drake in the past. During a 2023 appearance on The Breakfast Club, the athlete revealed that both Future and the Toronto rapper slid into her DMs after she won the NCAA Championship “They just congratulated me,” she noted. “It’s all congratulations.” Nevertheless, Charlamagne tha God told Reese to stay away from both rappers given their reputations.”You said two that you need to stay far away from,” he advised.

It looks to be all love between Reese and Drake, however. The former appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue in 2023, and she quoted a lyric from Drake’s “Jimmy Cooks” while promoting it on Instagram. “Don’t tell me that you a model if you ain’t been in Vogue or whatever Drake said,” she wrote in the caption.

Denzel Curry Believes Lyricism Matters Again Thanks To Kendrick Lamar, Drake & J. Cole Beef

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Denzel Curry is convinced lyricism will see a resurgence in Hip-Hop thanks to Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s ongoing rap beef.


Amid the aftermath of K. Dot’s incendiary “euphoria” diss track, Curry has opted to make his opinion clear before the dust cloud settles. In part, he’s revealed to some degree that he thinks the tooth and nail battle Drake and Kendrick are engaged will end up being beneficial for the entire rap game, rather than just for the sole benefit of top dawg bragging rights.

“It took two of the biggest artist in the world to diss each other for people to appreciate lyricism,” Curry wrote in his initial retort.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

In a follow-up remark, Denzel Curry laid out both sides of the the beef, based on a summery of the vantage points Drake and Kendrick Lamar appear to be sizing up and eyeing each other from.

“One rapper claims the other rapper needs features from pop stars to be on his level,” he wrote in part before adding, “While one rapper claims the other rapper needs street artist to justify that he’s Black.

Curry didn’t stop there and went on to reveal that he’s truly indulging himself in the messiness of the battle.

“I ain’t gon lie I’m enjoying the f### outta this battle,” he wrote in a tweet.

Curry also suggested “Cole definitely knew what was gonna happen,” alluding to the idea that it’s part of the reason he removed his “7-Minute Drill” diss from streaming—even though the record debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 Chart.

What do y’all think? Is lyrical rap back on the rise or is Curry being overly optimistic?

Wack 100 Reveals The Winner Of The Kendrick Lamar & Drake Beef

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Wack 100 is known for commenting on all things hip-hop. Although there are some people who couldn’t care less about his opinion, there are others who are always intrigued by what he has to say. Overall, Wack is someone who operates out on the West Coast. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that he would be a fan of Kendrick Lamar. Moreover, he has a lot of expectations for Lamar as it pertains to being a representative for Los Angeles. This is especially true now that he is going against Canada, in Drake.

After Kendrick dropped off “Euphoria,” DJ Akademiks went live on Rumble, Twitch, and YouTube. During this stream, he called up Wack 100 who wanted to deliver his take on what went down. Interestingly enough, Wack was not all that impressed with the Kendrick record. He was hoping for something that was more “West Coast” in terms of its presentation. Additionally, he felt like a lot of the things Kendrick said had already been stated by the likes of Pusha T.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar are embroiled in a bitter feud right now, and yesterday brought forth a pretty wild escalation of things. Overall, it was Kendrick who delivered the latest blow thanks to his track “Euphoria.” Although some felt like Lamar may never respond, he did not disappoint. His new song is six minutes long, and there are some pretty scathing bars here that fans are still reeling over.

He is preparing his response, and he believes it is going to be a hit. However, there is no telling if this will be the case.

Nicki Minaj Shouts Out Drake Amid His Ongoing Beef With Kendrick Lamar

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Drake and Nicki Minaj rose to superstardom as part of the Young Money crew. As Drake engages in a lyrical battle with Kendrick Lamar, the Canadian’s “Needle” collaborator showed him love on social media.


Nicki Minaj brought out Drake during her Pink Friday 2 Tour stop in Drizzy’s hometown of Toronto. The surprise appearance made news because the OVO boss told the crowd, “You know what time it is, you know what I gotta do.”

Many Hip-Hop fans assumed that Drake delivered that message in response to Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” diss track which dropped on Tuesday (April 30). Lamar blasted his adversary on multiple fronts throughout the six-minute record.

In addition to dissing Drake on the “Euphoria” song, Kendrick Lamar also warned, “Field goal, punt y’all n#####, they punk y’all n#####, nobody never took my food. Whoever that’s f#####’ with him, f### you n#####, and f### the industry too.”

Apparently, Nicki Minaj did not take Lamar’s warnings on “Euphoria” too seriously. The Pink Friday 2 album creator still shouted out Drake on the X platform following his pop-up at her Tuesday night show in Canada.

“Looking through my DRICKI pics & they came out so cute. Awwwwwwwww. He made me so happy tonight by coming out. Them screams be REAL different when the boy touch down chi. Posting some IG content shortly,” Nicki Minaj tweeted.






DJ Akademiks Mocks Kendrick Lamar Drake Diss, Claims Kendrick Is Rapping Like Carlton From “Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air”

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

DJ Akademiks is easily one of the biggest Drake defenders on the internet. Overall, whenever Drake has found himself in a feud, you can count on Ak to be on his side. Throughout this Kendrick Lamar spat, Ak has remained a proponent of Drizzy’s greatness. In fact, every single day, Ak has put Kendrick on the clock for a response. Well, yesterday, Lamar gave us that response with a 6-minute track called “Euphoria.” Although some were expecting jazz instrumentals and something light, Lamar ended up giving fans a scathing track with three beat switches.

Throughout the song, Kendrick eviscerated Drake for the way he talks, acts, and even dresses. Furthermore, he perpetuated numerous narratives that are already out there about Drake. However, the big difference here is that Kendrick did it in a unique way. At the start of the day, Akademiks was pretty impressed by Kendrick’s response. As the day went by, Ak ended up changing his tune and continued to profess how Drake is on top. In the clip below, DJ Akademiks took it a step further and began mocking Lamar for his flow.

DJ Akademiks Left Unimpressed

Akademiks specifically went after the first part of the song where Kendrick decides to take things lightly. Furthermore, Akademiks went on to compare Kendrick to Carlton Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Of course, this is completely avoiding the next five minutes of the song where Kendrick ups the energy and escalates the bars with each verse. The bias here is clear, but that is what fans were expecting from Ak, and he delivered.

Let us know what you think of DJ Akademiks and his comments pertaining to this diss track, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that he is doing way too much to defend Drake? Do you agree that Kendrick’s response was wack? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Kendrick Lamar Sitting On 19-Minute-Long “Euphoria” Drake Diss, Says TDE’s Daylyt 

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Kendrick Lamar apparently has another 13 minutes of material that he omitted from his bombshell Drake diss “Euphoria.”  


K. Dot surprised fans on Tuesday morning (April 30), with a six-minute-long track bombing on Drizzy. Fans ate up the highly anticipated response to Drake’s “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50)” and “Taylor Made Freestyle,” with many declaring him the winner of the first round.  

However, despite debatably beating both of Drake’s first-round entries, Lamar dropped a version of “Euphoria” allegedly less than half the length of the original. 

According to his former labelmate Daylyt, who’s signed to TDE, Lamar has a version of “Euphoria” that clocks in at nearly 20 minutes long. 

Daylyt spilled the beans on X (formerly Twitter), claiming K. Dot has plenty more in the tank. “Crazy part is this not even the full song smh,” he shared. “S### I herd was like 19 mins smh.” 

X/Daylyt

If Daylyt is to be believed, Lamar might be planning to drop another diss before Drake can respond, which looks set to be soon. Drake ended his surprise set at Nicki Minaj’s Toronto tour stop with a message. “You know what time it is. You know what I got to do,” he stated before exiting the stage. 

Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that Daylyt recently suggested K. Dot wouldn’t respond unless Drake got his “weak” bars up. He even urged the OVO honcho to “go off” on K. Dot in a 10-minute Funk Flex or LA Leakers freestyle to draw him out. 

“I’m saying this to Drake,” he said in an Instagram Live chat before “Euphoria” dropped. “If y’all want that man Kendrick to reply, tell Drake to drop a song where he rapping for real. From a lyricist’s standpoint. To where people say, ‘Oh my God! This is Crazy.’ And that man will have to reply. Because then you tap into the lyrical side of it. You tap into the rapper side of it.” 

He added, “If a n#### threatening your rap position, that man ain’t got no other choice but to reply. Because now he’s got n##### saying, ‘Yo, Kendrick. Drake might be lyrically better than you.’ And that’s the last thing he wants anybody to say.” 





YNW Melly Breaks Silence On Kendrick Lamar Drake Diss Name-Drop

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

YNW Melly is an artist who has been going through an unfortunate situation. Overall, fans know that Melly has been incarcerated for almost six whole years. During this time, he has been investigated and put on trial for allegedly killing two of his friends. Although the first go-round was a mistrial, Melly is supposed to be retried. This has subsequently led to all sorts of delays, and no one really knows whether or not there is going to be closure, anytime soon.

Interestingly enough, Melly was name-dropped on Kendrick Lamar’s new Drake diss, “Euphoria.” “Yeah, Cole and Aubrey know I’m selfish, the crown is heavy/ I pray they my real friends but if not, I’m YNW Melly,” Kendrick raps on the song. It’s a great bar and it is probably one of the more memorable lines from the track. Having said that, it appears as though Melly was made aware of this name-drop. In fact, he made a statement to TMZ, which makes sense given the fact that Lamar’s line is implying a few things.
