Hit-Boy Says The Beat For Benny The Butcher’s New Single Was Originally For Jay-Z and Kanye

Producer of the year might go to Hit-Boy. He has definitely been on a roll in 2020, producing an entire Nas project and multiple tracks on Big Sean’s Detroit 2. Hit-Boy gave some insight into Benny the Butcher’s new single, “TIMELESS,” which he produced and said that the beat was originally for Jay-Z and Kanye, but they both passed on it.
“The beat for This new @getbenny single ft @liltunechi and @bigsean dropping tomorrow was made in 2011 at the Mercer hotel for jay z and Kanye west #watchthethrone it wasn’t picked,” he wrote to Instagram on Wednesday. “I was actually hot I made a beat this good and they picked something like n*ggas in Paris which was one of my more simple beats. That was a blessing in disguise.”
The beat sat for almost a decade before Benny the Butcher decided to use it. He felt as if this beat better showcased his producer abilities rather than a “Niggas In Paris” type beat that was simple. He used this post to inspire other producers to “never give up on any of your ideas” as he wrote in his Instagram caption.

Mo’Nique’s Dating Advice Echoes Loud After Rape Allegations Surface

You can always count on Mo’Nique to keep it real, funny, fierce, and flat-out real with no chaser, and this time around, she’s taking the mic and training it on Shannon Sharpe with a little retroactive guidance. Mo’Nique made a nightclub a laughing matter out of the Sharpe situation at a recent stand-up set, which is under a lawsuit for alleged rape with Gabriella Zuniga. Mo’Nique’s warning to Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay podcast in February 2024 has a different sting now. The viral clip making the rounds again features a woman who most definitely saw the warning signs and tried to steer him away from them.
“Shannon need him an old fat gal,” she quipped in a moment that was both hilarious and devastating cultural commentary. “One that can bake, rub feet, sip cognac and bring peace, not problems.” Mo’Nique’s comments were infused with genuine unease about the way that older men treat much younger women in the complicated dating world of today. Mo’Nique assumed the role of the no-nonsense auntie Sharpe, so obviously needed. Her delivery was typically hilarious, but the sentiment was pure wisdom. This week’s developments have put that lighthearted podcast moment in a new context. Mo’Nique’s remarks were about emotional and social maturity, especially on the part of men who held power.

And today, with public opinion in an uproar over Sharpe and his behavior, Mo’Nique’s words are like a warning bell that went ignored. And she knows it. That stand-up set was anger disguised as a joke. It was a woman with a mirror saying, “I tried to tell you.” At a time when cancellations are swift and forgiveness even swifter to wash over and cover up, Mo’Nique’s mix of comedy and caution feels like a powerful, if not novel, force. Whether Sharpe will take her advice or not, however, remains to be seen, but Mo’Nique did tell him so.

G Herbo Opens Up About Ari Fletcher’s “Terrible Dad” Remark

In his deep thoughts on a recent episode of BET’s For The Fellas, G Herbo reflects on an emotional scene from the reality series The Impact ATL in this heartwarming talk. The rapper was responding to an inflammatory comment from his ex, Ari Fletcher, who accused Famous Dex of being a “terrible dad” during a heated exchange on the show. The comment came after Fletcher vented about Herbo leaving their son Yosohn’s birthday party early and being absent at the boy’s graduation. While the words cut deep, G Herbo hasn’t shied away from expressing his feelings about the situation. He was open in his admission of his faults and that he wasn’t perfect.
He added that Fletcher’s words also included emotional reactions and stupidity at the moment, which is common to feel in the heat of the moment. In a recent clip from The Impact ATL, Ari Fletcher slowed things down while talking about how she and the rapper work together as coparents. She added that despite their disagreements, she does not actually think that Herbo is a bad parent. Acknowledging his consistent commitment and love for their child, Fletcher apologized for letting her emotions cloud her words and said her “terrible dad” remark had been in the heat of the moment rather than a mean dig at his fathering. G Herbo also shared these same thoughts during his turn on For The Fellas, noting that while he didn’t take the “bad dad” line to heart, he knew where Ari was coming from.

He said he knew that co-parenting is not always easy, particularly between two high-strung people. Despite their ups and downs, Herbo, 24, stressed that there will always be love between the pair, especially when it comes to their joint commitment to Yosohn’s well-being. This heart to heart between the former lovers is a sign of their maturing coparenting relationship. Their history with each other might be rocky, but there is a mutual respect and understanding between G Herbo and Ari Fletcher now. More complex though their journey has been, that their love for their son is stronger than any misunderstanding is a positive when so much of the world is confusing.
