Lil Wayne Divulges On Drake Being With His Girl While In Jail In Pre-Kendrick Lamar Diss Interview

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Lil Wayne caught a wild, albeit already divulged stray in “Not Like Us,” Kendrick Lamar‘s latest diss track against Drake. In it, he claims that Drizzy slept with Wayne’s girl while he was in prison, and that he got a tattoo of his face to apologize. Well, it turns out that this is not a new revelation, but it doesn’t erase the moral questioning that fans are doing right now when it comes to Young Money‘s father and son. What’s more is that, in an old 2016 HipHollywood interview, Tunechi spoke on this matter and reportedly suggested that, while this didn’t happen exactly as Kendrick is presenting it, it still hurt.

“Oh! I wasn’t worried about that, that’s just how life goes when you locked up,” Lil Wayne remarked. “Now I remember, though. Yeah he wapped… I know who he wapped though. When you in jail though, even your side side side side is your main.” As for Kendrick Lamar’s specific diss, Wayne’s “Gone Til November” memoir reportedly indicates that Drake’s sexual encounter happened the day before his mentor met this girl, and not while he was in jail. “Yeah, it’s true. Don’t f**k with her like that ’cause I did f**k her,” The Boy reportedly told the New Orleans MC during a jail visitation, according to the book’s alleged content.

Lil Wayne Speaks On Drake In Interview Resurfacing Due To Kendrick Lamar Beef

“This is the type of s**t that a man never wants to find out when he’s locked up,” Lil Wayne reportedly wrote in his book, with TMZ adding a claim that he didn’t leave his cell for days. “Or, maybe so, cause only God knows what I would have done if I wasn’t locked up right now. Finding out that she f***ed Drake was the absolute worst thing I could’ve ever found out… As a man, honestly, that s**t hurt… and not because it was Drake, it could have been any man. It would’ve hurt the same.”

Meanwhile, there are other claims on these diss tracks that both Kendrick Lamar and Drake have to answer for with proof. As for this Lil Wayne situation, it clearly goes deeper than just a claim. With these feelings in mind, there is still a lot of judgement on Aubrey’s moral character, although it doesn’t seem like this was really his fault. We’ll see if there’s anything more to the tale.

Lil Wayne Dragged Into Young Thug Trial Over Potential Need For Testimony

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Fulton County prosecutors unsuccessfully attempted to introduce videos of Lil Wayne talking about Young Thug as evidence in the YSL RICO trial on Wednesday (May 1). Judge Ural Glanville refused to let the prosecution introduce the videos unless Lil Wayne testified.


Chief Deputy District Attorney Adriane Love repeatedly argued for the videos on a day when Judge Glanville heard motions outside of the jury’s presence. Love failed to convince the judge why the videos should be introduced if Lil Wayne did not testify.

“It seems like you all are trying really hard not to call [Lil Wayne] and that’s your choice,” Glanville told Love, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Jozsef Papp. “If you don’t call him, my ruling will stand on these particular exhibits that you are trying to introduce.”

The possibility of Lil Wayne testifying was related to a 2015 shooting involving his tour bus. Young Thug affiliate PeeWee Roscoe was accused of shooting Lil Wayne’s tour bus in Georgia.

PeeWee Roscoe, whose real name is Jimmy Winfrey, pleaded guilty to six of the 27 charges he faced for the shooting in 2015. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years of probation. His conviction was overturned in 2018.

Winfrey entered an Alford plea for two of the charges in 2020. An Alford plea treats the defendant like they pleaded guilty but allows the person to maintain their innocence.

Lil Wayne will not testify in the Young Thug trial, but the Young Money founder’s tour bus driver Alvin Lewis is expected to take the stand on Monday (May 6). Lewis sued Young Thug, Birdman and Winfrey over the shooting in 2016.

Young Thug’s trial began in November 2023. It is already the longest trial in Georgia history. Young Thug has remained in jail since his 2022 arrest.

Chance The Rapper Posts New Snippet & Video With Lil Wayne, T-Pain & More

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

With so much hip-hop happening in 2024 so far, it’s ironic how the growth of competition only seems to yield more and more MCs chiming in for a huge year. Among the most anticipated comebacks for the next eight months or so is that of Chance The Rapper, who’s been teasing a lot of new music for his upcoming Star Line Gallery album. Moreover, he just shared a new clip on social media on Sunday (April 21), in which he’s taped in the studio with Lil Wayne, T-Pain, JD, Jazze Pha, Jermaine Dupri, and many others while he sings a tender unreleased track amid a lot of other footage. Overall, the Chicago rapper seems to be gearing up for something truly special soon.

Furthermore, this follows a lot of other short teases on platforms like Instagram and Twitter, one recent example of which actually calls for a revolution as opposed to the typical democratic process. He’s never been shy about his sociopolitical views, but it seems like there’s another kind of fire that’s building within him as opposed to what we’ve seen earlier in his discography. Either way, it looks like Chance The Rapper will still be able to emote in various ways and bring his powerful versatility to the table. No matter what this next era or project shows up as, it’s been long enough since 2019’s The Big Day to where there’s always the element of surprise to consider now.

Chance The Rapper’s Latest Snippet & Short Vlog: Watch

For example, he dedicated his latest song “I Will Be Your” to the Black Star Line Festival that he hosted in Ghana alongside Vic Mensa. The only things to be expected about that song were the beat and performance themselves, but the subject matter ranged all over the place. Also, with that event touching down on a lot of plights and hot topics relating to the Black experience, Star Line Gallery might be a deeper exploration of what Chance The Rapper’s learned over the years. These are all just theories, but we’ll likely see if they manifest soon.

Meanwhile, the “Paranoia” spitter also recently expressed his support for Young Thug during his and YSL’s RICO trial. It’s been a very hard and arduous process that has raised many more eyebrows since the initial arrest almost two years ago. It’s yet another factor that makes us think he’s teaming up with all these artists to make something grand, compelling, and meaningful. For more news and the latest updates on Chance The Rapper, stay posted on HNHH.

Chris Brown Disses Quavo On Track Featuring Lil Wayne, Joyner Lucas & Tee Grizzley

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Chris Brown threw a lyrical jab at Quavo on a new song titled “Freak,” which dropped on Thursday (April 11). The track appeared on the deluxe edition of Brown’s 11:11 album.

“Okay, now f###### my old b###### ain’t gon’ make us equal/Sipping that 1942 ‘cause I don’t do no Cuervo [Quavo]/Freak b####, she like Casamigos, not the Migos,” Brown rapped.

Brown enlisted Lil Wayne, Joyner Lucas and Tee Grizzley as guests on the track. The song added a new layer to the longstanding issues between Brown and Quavo stemming from their respective history with Karrueche Tran.

Earlier this year, Brown and Quavo awkwardly sat next to each other at Paris Fashion Week. Brown made it clear he didn’t sit by Quavo willingly.

“Can’t pick who u sit by,” he wrote on social media. “F### all that growth s###. N#### not finna fumble my bag for little n#####.”

Brown and Karrueche began dating in 2011. Their tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship lasted a few years. Karrueche obtained a five-year restraining order against Brown in 2017. She accused him of abuse and harassment, saying he threatened to kill her. The alleged incidents occurred while he was on probation for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

Quavo was romantically linked to Karrueche in 2017. Their relationship allegedly led to a heated confrontation involving Brown and Quavo at the 2017 BET Awards. Quavo and Karrueche dating rumors resurfaced in 2022. She downplayed their relationship.

“We’re friends,” she said in 2022. “I’m single. I’m having fun and enjoying life. Nothing is too serious… We have fun, we’re friends.”

Brown released his 11:11 album in November 2023. The original version featured 22 songs. He added 13 tracks to the project for the deluxe edition. The new songs included collaborations with Bryson Tiller and Mario.

Lil Wayne Unveils Highly Anticipated Track “Bless” Featuring Young Thug

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Lil Wayne just dropped a highly anticipated collaboration for all the hip-hop heads out there! After a long-standing feud and much excitement, Weezy took to Twitter the other day, to announce a major collaboration titled “Bless,” featuring none other than Young Thug. Now the wait is over, and “Bless” has hit the airwaves. The significance of this feature can’t be overstated, especially considering the history between Lil Wayne and Young Thug. Back in the day, Thugger raised eyebrows by hinting at naming his album Carter 6 as a tribute to Lil Wayne, his idol. This move didn’t sit well with Weezy fans, who felt it was a bit too close to home, especially since Thugger aimed to drop his album before Wayne could release his long-awaited Tha Carter V.

Moreover, things got even more heated when Lil Wayne addressed the situation at a Mississippi concert, calling out artists who posed naked on album covers. While Thug denied trolling, the tension lingered, especially amidst Wayne’s legal battle with Birdman and Cash Money over the release of “Tha Carter V.” Furthermore, adding more drama to the mix, Young Thug and Birdman found themselves entangled in a legal mess after Lil Wayne’s tour bus was shot up in Atlanta back in 2015. Although neither was convicted, the incident became part of a larger legal saga involving Young Thug and his label, YSL.

Lil Wayne, Post Malone Allegedly Lied to Feds to Get $8 Million

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Lil Wayne and Post Malone are being accused of lying to federal authorities in order to obtain over $8 million in pandemic loans.

Lil Wayne and Post Malone Allegedly Lie About Drug-Use to Get Pandemic Aid

On Friday (March 15), Business Insider reported that they had filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Small Business Administration to investigate celebrities who had received millions in pandemic loans back in 2021. Among those celebs were Post Malone and Lil Wayne. The publication claims both artists had told the feds their touring companies were a “drug-free workplace,” a necessary step to receive pandemic-related grants.

Business Insider then criticized Wayne’s open use of marijuana, as well as Posty’s admittance to using shrooms. The publication claims this meant the rappers boldly lied to the SBA in order to get grants for $8.9 million and $10 million, respectively.

When reached for comment, the SBA wrote back to the outlet and said “personal actions” did not necessarily disqualify aid, but confirmed they were looking into certain loans they paid out.

“The SBA’s process of monitoring and auditing of grant recipients is actively ongoing,” a statement read. “To date, about $40 million has been returned from SVOG grantees and additional files have been referred for ongoing criminal investigation or civil recovery. To date, none of the recoveries relate to the drug-free certification.”

XXL has reached out to Lil Wayne and Post Malone’s team for further comment.

Lil Wayne Settles Lawsuit With Personal Chef

The allegations come after Lil Wayne settled a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by his former personal chef. According to documents obtained by XXL, Lil Wayne’s former personal chef, Morghan Medlock, filed paperwork at Los Angeles County Superior Court on March 8. The paperwork told the court that she and Weezy had settled her wrongful termination lawsuit, though explicit terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Lil Wayne Got $9 Million In COVID Aid For Having A Drug-Free Tour Workplace

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

According to Business Insider, Lil Wayne is one of many artists who got a sizable check from the U.S. government for their touring practices. Moreover, he reportedly claimed that his touring company was a “drug-free” workplace so that authorities would give him $9 million in federal pandemic aid through the Small Business Administration (SBA). Specifically, the former Hot Boy apparently gave stern warnings to his co-workers about the “dangers” of drugs on tour, and threatened punishment or rehab to anyone caught using substances. Then, when he and his team requested aid from the SBA, they approved his request and cut him an $8.9 million check to Young Money Touring, Inc.

Not only that, but apparently Post Malone is another artist who used this justification for his touring company to get more funds. While neither he nor Lil Wayne have shied away from their drug use, it seems like the SBA doesn’t take into account past activity. In addition, the agency’s inspector general had admitted last year that its employees only had about four hours to review and respond to applications. As such, some fans and publications believe that this is the result of a rushed process not having the time or resources to make a thorough revision. But that’s only if there’s a lie here, which we have no concrete reason to believe… nor, admittedly, deny.

Lil Wayne Performing At The iHeartRadio Music Festival 2023

Via a statement, the SBA clarified that they did not consider “personal actions” from folks like Lil Wayne or drug use from March 2020 to June of 2022, which is presumably the period of eligibility for this compensation. “When you have social status, your substance use is treated in a different way,” public health expert Harold Pollack of the University of Chicago remarked. “They don’t brutalize a lot of celebrities for behaviors that we would very harshly treat in people with less prestige.” These touring companies received aid under the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, intended to uplift music venues amid bankruptcy and, as a federal program, required certified compliance with federal laws.

“The fact that touring artists have a different lifestyle doesn’t mean that they weren’t impacted in a substantial way by the pandemic,” Josh Schiller stated. He’s a lawyer with past entertainment industry clients who sued for marijuana’s legalization. “Was there a better use of those grants? I think that’s really a good question.” If the SBA finds that Weezy lied about this tour environment, the team could face a lawsuit or heavier prosecution. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Wayne, stay up to date on HNHH.
