Hit-Boy Reveals Jay-Z’s Contribution To Benny’s “Burden Of Proof”

Today marks the arrival of Benny The Butcher’s proper debut album Burden Of Proof, produced in its glorious entirety by Hit-Boy. Currently in the midst of an epic run, Hit-Boy has made a solid case for locking down the coveted MVP position, thanks in large part to work done here, on Nas’ King’s Disease, and on Big Sean’s Detroit 2.

Alongside Benny, however, Hit-Boy managed to capture a particularly distinguished vibe, at once nostalgic and refreshingly modern. And today, Hit-Boy took a moment to reflect on his latest body of work, revealing an interesting anecdote about Jay-Z’s contribution to the project. As it happens, Hit-Boy actually sought out the advice of the legendary rapper for “One Way Flight,” a collaboration between The Butcher and Freddie Gibbs — who has now contributed to each of the Griselda trifecta’s solo albums this year.
“I ain’t gon bull shit you I emailed jay z and he helped me arrange “one-way flight” featuring @FreddieGibbs,” confirms Hit-Boy, sharing the tidbit on Twitter. “Veteran level shit. That spacing is the shit !!!” While he doesn’t exactly elaborate on Hov’s specific advice, it’s still cool to see Jay-Z taking the time to provide some key feedback to the lyrically-stellar duet. It’s not exactly surprising, either — there’s something notably Hov-esque about the album’s tone, evocative of both The Blueprint and The Black Album in a few key ways.
If only Jay-Z took it upon himself to add a verse, but there’s always room for a remix. Be sure to show some love to Benny The Butcher’s Burden Of Proof right here.

Rubi Rose Comes Clean About Druski Romance and Why She Lied

After months of rumors and mixed messages, Rubi Rose has finally cleared up the confusion about her relationship with comedian Druski. During a live stream with Adin Ross, Rubi admitted that her romance with Druski was real, despite her earlier claims that it was just a publicity stunt. Her reason for saying that? She was heartbroken. In her candid moment on the stream, Rubi said, “Okay, something embarrassing that I’ve never told anybody. Me and Dru were really in a relationship, and I said it was PR because he pissed me the f**k off and hurt my feelings.” This surprising admission showed that her initial denial was more about protecting her heart than trying to generate buzz.
For fans who had been following their relationship, this news ends the back-and-forth. Rubi and Druski started sparking dating rumors in April 2024, their fun chemistry getting everyone talking. But by July, they had officially broken up, with Rubi claiming their relationship was just for the media’s attention. Druski, however, had always insisted that their connection was real, a point Rubi now agrees with. Looking back, Rubi reflected on her previous actions, admitting, “That was really lame of me and embarrassing. I shouldn’t have said that. But it was, like, I had to stand on it.” This moment of honesty gives fans a glimpse into celebrities’ pressures regarding love and public perception.

Even though they’ve parted ways, Rubi reassured fans that there’s no hard feelings between her and Druski. “It’s in the past now. And we’re friends and we’re cool still,” she shared, mentioning that they’ve known each other since high school. While the ups and downs of their relationship made for interesting headlines, Rubi’s honesty provides a refreshing look at the challenges of being in the spotlight. Whether it was love or just a lesson learned, it’s clear that Rubi Rose is embracing her reality and moving forward, regardless of what others say.

Lil Scrappy Fires Back at Bambi’s “Eleven” Diss with Laughter and Shade

If anyone thought that Lil Scrappy and Bambi were going to resolve their issues quietly after their messy breakup, they were in for a surprise. The former couple has been going back and forth publicly for months, and Bambi has taken it to the next level with her new diss track called “Eleven.” In the song, she doesn’t hold back, taking jabs at Scrappy’s money problems, his children from different relationships, and even throwing shade at her rivals from the show Love & Hip Hop. However, Scrappy seems unfazed by it all, laughing off her claims.
Scrappy took to social media to respond, smirking as he called out Bambi for allegedly lying about her age and exaggerating her statements in “Eleven.” He pointed out that if he was as broke as she claims, he wouldn’t be able to keep up with his child support payments. It’s a classic comeback of “If I’m struggling, how am I still paying you?” With that, Scrappy managed to throw some shade right back at her. Their conflict isn’t only about the song; it also affects their personal lives and even Scrappy’s other relationships.
Recently, his ex-girlfriend, Erica Dixon, called out his mother, Momma Dee, for showing up to a baby shower without a paternity test for the baby involved. That baby, born to hairstylist Shakira Hardy, adds another layer to the already complicated situation in Scrappy’s life. Through all this chaos, Scrappy appears calm, or at least that’s how he’s presenting himself to the public. His response to “Eleven” was less about what Bambi said and more about poking fun at her claims. Whether he’s just trying to cope with the situation or genuinely moving on, this drama isn’t coming to an end anytime soon.
