HonkMagazine

In a time when loyalty can shift quickly, Kanye West is making it clear that he’s sticking by his friend Diddy, no matter what happens. Throughout the years, Kanye has taken on many different roles in the music world, but in 2025, he supports Diddy, who is facing many public challenges. Despite the controversies surrounding him, Kanye has become one of the few prominent figures in hip-hop to speak up for Diddy, most recently in a heartfelt phone call that was shared publicly. On a recent Monday evening, Kanye released a video showcasing an emotional conversation between him and Diddy, revealing their strong friendship and mutual respect.

During the call, Diddy thanked Kanye for standing by him, saying, “When I see you face to face, I’m going to be able to hug and thank you and show you how much you’re appreciated.” His words reflected the gratitude of someone who has experienced dwindling support but still values those who defend him. Kanye has expressed his admiration for Diddy before, even calling him his “idol” in a post that he later deleted. In their conversation, both men praised each other, with Diddy recalling how he has always tried to stand up for others. “I always spoke up for others when I could,” he said. “And I appreciate that you’re doing the same for me.”

While some might think Kanye is trying to change the public’s perception of Diddy, it seems more about recognizing a true friend, especially in an industry where support can fade fast. Even as many in the hip-hop community choose to back away from Diddy due to his personal and legal issues, Kanye’s loyalty emphasizes the depth of their friendship. Whether seen as a courageous or risky decision, Kanye’s public support for Diddy adds another layer to his ongoing story. Regardless of what people think of him, Kanye West is not afraid to speak up for those he believes in, and for Diddy, that support is significant right now.

F1lthy Challenges DJ Akademiks to a Boxing Match After Controversial Comments on Playboi Carti’s MUSIC

HonkMagazine

The hip-hop scene is buzzing with excitement, and it’s not just about the music this time. F1lthy, a prominent producer who played a big role in Playboi Carti’s new album MUSIC, has thrown down a bold challenge that caught everyone off guard. This all started when DJ Akademiks, a well-known media personality, made some waves with his comments about the album’s launch, including some questionable claims about who was really behind its direction. Akademiks suggested that rapper Kendrick Lamar was the one creatively guiding the album, but F1lthy stepped in to set the record straight.

Instead of accepting the correction, Akademiks dismissed F1lthy, saying he didn’t even know who he was. For someone as influential as F1lthy, known for his work since Carti’s Whole Lotta Red, that comment felt personal. In response, F1lthy took to social media and issued a playful challenge, “You owe me a boxing match at Barclays Center.” Many fans are now excited about the idea of these two going head to head in the ring. Recently, it’s become trendy for celebrities to settle their disputes through boxing matches.

However, beneath this playful banter lies a more serious issue about how much respect producers deserve in the music industry. F1lthy has heavily influenced the unique sound of MUSIC, and his talent deserves recognition. While Akademiks may grab headlines with his commentary, it’s F1lthy’s beats that listeners truly enjoy. As the back and forth continues, it’s clear that their tension is far from resolved. Whether we’ll actually see a boxing match at Barclays Center is uncertain, F1lthy is ready to defend his name and fight for recognition.
