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.

Tiffany Haddish’s African Grocery Store Visit Sparks Debate, Is She a Trailblazer or Out of Touch?
Tiffany Haddish is at the center of controversy after a video of her visit to a grocery store in Zimbabwe went viral. In the clip, Haddish marvels at the store’s size and the availability of items like sugar cane and organic strawberries, which she seemed to find surprising.
The reaction from viewers has been mixed. Some applauded her for challenging stereotypes about Africa, while others mocked her for acting as if the continent lacked modern amenities. One user on X quipped, “Tiffany Haddish, the first woman to discover a grocery store in Africa,” while another expressed confusion over her reaction, questioning why she seemed surprised by the store’s offerings.
In response to the backlash, Haddish took to X to clarify her intentions. She emphasized that her goal was to “demystify” Africa and encourage more Black Americans to visit.
This incident follows another controversial trip earlier this year, when Haddish visited Israel amid ongoing conflicts, a move that drew criticism for its insensitivity. Despite the recent backlash, Haddish remains active, with her latest project being the memoir I Curse You With Joy, which has garnered positive reviews for its candidness.
In an era where public figures must tread carefully, it seems Haddish’s words continue to spark debate, whether she’s on a global adventure or sharing her personal experiences.
