The post Adin Ross Clarifies That Judges In The Gypsy Crusader Fight Were Not White appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Adin Ross says that the three judges who declared Gypsy Crusader the winner over Supah Hot Fire in their boxing match over the weekend were all Hispanic. He issued the clarification during a livestream after the event, shutting down rumors that the judges intentionally sided with the white supremacist.

“By the way, to be very clear guys, everyone was like, ‘Check the judges. They’re white.’ All the judges were literally Hispanic. The judges were all Hispanic, by the way,” Ross said while reacting to the end of the match.

As for how the judges awarded the victory, Mario Perez Jr. gave rounds one and three to Supah Hot Fire, with round two going to Crusader. On the other hand, Manuel Marquez Jr. and Eliseo Rodriguez went with Crusader in the first two rounds and Supah Hot Fire in the third.

Fans on social media have been debating the result since the fight ended. “Gypsy crusader clearly won, not sure why adin Ross is acting like it was a robbery decision. Dude is tweaking out,” one user replied to Brand Risk sharing the official scorecard on X (formerly Twitter). “Gypsy pushed forward the whole fight, landed jabs, applied more pressure, and landed nice body shots. Supa legit only threw haymakers. They BOTH gassed out.” Another fan countered: “It was close but the reason why Gypsy loses is because he should have had a point deduction for the illegal pushdowns 3 times.”

Who Is Gypsy Crusader?

Gypsy Crusader is a former Muay Thai fighter who has become known as a livestreamer for his support of white supremacy and other far-right ideologies. He has gone viral for several highly controversial antics over the years.

Ross hosted the boxing match through his company, Brand Risk Promotions, which he launched back in 2024. “Unlike traditional fighting promotions, Brand Risk Promotionsā„¢ thrives on internet culture, memes, and the chaotic energy that made streaming platforms household names,” the company’s website reads. “Our events combine professional production value with the unpredictable nature of internet personalities, creating an experience unlike anything else in combat sports.”

DJ Akademiks Goes Off On Ebro And Tells Him The Real Reason He Was Fired https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/983463-dj-akademiks-tells-ebro-why-he-was-fired Mon, 16 Mar 2026 17:27:51 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=983463 DJ Akademiks has been jawing with Ebro since the latter's firing from Hot 97 and once again, he's pointing out his failure.

The post DJ Akademiks Goes Off On Ebro And Tells Him The Real Reason He Was Fired appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
DJ Akademiks has been juggling a lot of feuds as of late and today, he’s booting up his saved file with Ebro. These two have been going back and forth since the latter’s firing from Hot 97 in December and their feud has remained strong this year.

Proof of that is a Twitter exchange from this morning with Ebro laughing off Akademiks’ pushback on smear campaign claims against Drake. The livestream clip, caught by Cousin Tino, hears the hip-hop insider discredit Charlamagne Tha God and Pusha T’s theories that Drake uses PR teams to control narratives about him while slamming others in the process.

Ebro found Ak’s request for evidence of this being true hilarious, particularly because the latter is almost always defending The Boy. “[Laughing emojis]…. Evidence?!?!? This guy is asking for evidence?”

Akademiks didn’t waste much time firing right back while trying to humble him in the process. “Respectfully Ebro… u never got smeared by nobody,” he begins. “U got fired cuz u suck at ur job of entertaining and laughed at because you acted like u were bigger than the program then had to fire up a broadcast in ur car. Sorry to tell u crodie…”

Do DJ Akademiks & Ebro Have Beef?

But the content creator didn’t stop there. “U got Ebro tryna act like maybe Drake got him fired. Na n**** u got fired cuz yall ran a ghetto morning show that got 723 views per episode. Yes ur employer doesn’t want dead weight on the payroll. Ya FIRED.”

For good measure, Akademiks hammered his point home about media members like Ebro “hating on Drake during the battle” and that being the only way they could draw an audience. “The simple truth is media guys now tryna blame Drake for their demise without acknowledging most ppl saw their peak as hating on Drake during the battle.” Ak concludes, “Once the battle faded .. it’s been 2 years btw.. yall became irrelevant and a 1 trick pony… Sorry.”

While the Hot 97 angle has been the center of their beef, Akademiks has been calling out Ebro for other things. Most recently, he put him on blast for his stubborn take on Lil Uzi Vert’s career. Ebro claimed he still hasn’t reached a high enough level, causing Ak to call him out for moving the goal post.

“I learned from watching these guys [referring to Ebro] what not to be… You can be like Ebro and think you’re bigger than the program. Or realize when you’re wrong… That’s what these n****s never did. They still have that gatekeeping mentality… You can’t divorce the idea of music and culture will always move on, and there’s always a new generation coming on. Always.”

Deen The Great Attempts To Check Adam22 Over $5,000 Debt https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/983454-deen-the-great-adam22-debt Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:43:48 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=983454 Deen The Great got into it with Adam22 on "No Jumper" last month and it seems the tension between them hasn't died down.

The post Deen The Great Attempts To Check Adam22 Over $5,000 Debt appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Professional boxer and content creator Deen The Great is tired of Adam22 ducking him. So much so that he confronted him at Adin Ross’ Brand Risk boxing event over the weekend. According to the 24-year-old, the No Jumper founder owes him quite a chunk of change—$5,000 to be specific.

In a clip from Deen’s Kick stream at the event caught by Akademiks TV, the fiery youngster gets up in Adam asking where his “five Gs” are. However, his attempt at intimidation isn’t effective as the podcast host sons him by wrapping his arm Deen’s neck.

“I’m mogging him on his stream,” Adam says to the camera. “That’s my little homie.” On top of that, the Plug Talk co-host claims to not have the bread on him, making things even more awkward for Deen.

While it seems the vibe was fairly playful here, deep down the boxer’s demands are legit. After an appearance on No Jumper, Deen went on stream and claimed that Adam didn’t pay him their agreed upon $5,000 fee for showing up.

However, there’s more context than Adam simply not paying up.

Why Do Deen The Great & Adam22 Have Beef?

There’s a reason for that because Deen made some pretty disrespectful comments about Adam’s relationship with his wife, adult film star Lena The Plug. After getting made fun of for getting beat up, Deen fired back by calling him out for letting his partner have sex with other men.

It’s been low-hanging fruit for a long time, but Deen’s roast in particular didn’t sit well with Adam. As a result, he booted the boxer out mid-interview. Deen didn’t waste any time leaving, dragging the host on the way out. “F*ck this podcast,” he said.

Advancing to this moment at Adin’s boxing event, it’s clear that the tension between these two has yet to officially die out. It’ll be interesting to see if Deen continues to press Adam for the $5,000 and if the latter refuses to comply.

The post OMB Bloodbath Arraigned Again As Prosecutors Prepare For Retrial In Gang Murder Case appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
OMB Bloodbath is officially facing another federal trial for the 2017 killing of 53-year-old Samuel Johnson, after a jury failed to reach a verdict in her original case. According to the Houston Chronicle, she appeared in a courtroom for her arraignment, earlier this month.

Prosecutors originally alleged that she and Shaquile O’Neal Richards incited an exchange of gunfire that resulted in Johnson’s death. They claimed the two are leaders of the gang, 100% Third Ward. With the new arraignment, authorities have added a murder charge, accusing them of ā€œknowingly and intentionallyā€ murdering Johnson. Bloodbath is facing charges of murder in aid of racketeering and use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence resulting in death.

OMB Bloodbath’s First Trial Verdict

Bloodbath’s first trial began in January. At the time, the jury deliberated for two full days before deciding they couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict. Prosecutors alleged that four members or associates of 100% Third Ward opened fire on a member of their rival gang, Young Scott Block, on October 16, 2017. Johnson was killed as an innocent bystander caught in the line of fire. Years later, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office accused Nicks and Richards of allegedly instructing their gang to hunt down YSB members in retaliation as part of an ongoing war.

Bloodbath was arrested in the case back in 2023, alongside five other alleged members of the 100% Third Ward gang. At the time, U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani for the Southern District of Texas said in a press release: ā€œTo gang members and others infecting our streets with this type of crime – the power of the federal government is here. We will not stop. We will find you. No matter how long it takes, we will prosecute and ensure you pay the price for your actions. A priority of this office, every day, is for the Third Ward’s children to feel safe in their homes and on the streets from the terror of local gangs, and we will work with all partners and use all tools to make that priority a reality.ā€

DJ Akademiks Hits Lil Baby With One Of The More Creative Disses You’ll Ever Hear https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/983433-dj-akademiks-wild-lil-baby-diss Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:49:43 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=983433 DJ Akademiks has been relentless in his pursuit to tarnish Lil Baby's reputation and his latest diss is pretty wild.

The post DJ Akademiks Hits Lil Baby With One Of The More Creative Disses You’ll Ever Hear appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
DJ Akademiks has not let Lil Baby breathe over these last couple of months. Every other day it feels like the streamer and hip-hop insider has something negative to say about the Atlanta MC. Sometimes his roasts go a little too below the belt. His latest diss doesn’t, but at the same time, it’s pretty crippling.

While reacting to Lil Baby’s music video for “Mrs. Trendsetter,” he pauses the visual when a woman is doing her makeup on a livestream. Her setup, which includes a ring light and her iPhone, mimics a particular sector of short-form content creation.

The “get ready with me” or “GRWM” videos are very popular and usually show women preparing for the day. Usually, they show themselves doing their skincare routine, making their go-to breakfast, and etc.

This triggered Akademiks to make the joke that Lil Baby succeeds the most when he makes “GRWM” music.

“All the songs working for him right now are the songs [like that]… That’s where we’ve sent him. Over to H&M and Zara. That’s where it belongs,” he jokes.

While he believes that he’s fallen off, he does half-jokingly give him credit for making this kind of music well. “At least he’s understanding and realizing the time, man.”

DJ Akademiks & Lil Baby’s Beef

The clip ends with the independent hip-hop reporter telling “Lil Bebe” to leave the “gangster sh*t to Gunna.” Of course, given Baby’s unwavering ties to Young Thug despite him and Gunna’s rich history of their own, that hits a lot harder.

Ak has also been Team Wunna as well for some time, making that point crystal clear recently. While reacting to a video of Baby and Thug riding around in a car together, he made it a point to let the “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber” collaborators know that they don’t have the juice like their rival.

“Am I expecting some heat from these two? I’mma be honest with y’all, no. I know some of y’all think I’m just gonna be hating. No, I’m gonna call a spade a spade,” Akademiks said responding to collaboration rumors swirling these two MCs.Ā “This is two ice cubes linking up together, man. They might as well be in the freezer together. That’s a fact.”

He continued, “They better be driving toĀ Gunna’s crib. They better put in the GPS, ‘Gunna Wunna’s crib.’ Straight up. […] This is damn near the ice bucket challenge. Y’all might as well just go to Gunna’s crib. Gunna got the sauce, I’m sorry.”

The post DJ Akademiks Urges Maino To Quit Rapping Following Diss Track appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Earlier this morning, Maino dropped off a new diss track called “The Algorithm,” and it takes aim at the key figures in hip-hop media. DJ Akademiks, 1090 Jake, Adam22, and Wack 100 are just some of the people who catch strays on this song.

If you have been following along as of late, you would know that DJ Akademiks and Maino have been going back and forth. Akademiks has made some pointed comments on his streams. Meanwhile, Maino has been on his podcast, clapping back at anyone who has something to say.

Last night, DJ Akademiks was on his live stream, where he was catching up on the news. He also caught up on some of the feuds he is involved in. Of course, this led to his discovery that Maino had dissed him on a new track. At the time, “The Algorithm” was just a snippet, so Ak played it for his audience. In the end, he was left unimpressed.

DJ Akademiks Responds To Maino

While Ak acknowledges that Maino can talk a lot of smack, he also claims that the artist just needs to quit rapping altogether. It was a flippant comment, and one that is certainly going to come across as disrespectful to a lot of people. Of course, Maino will be the one taking the most offense to all of this.

Quite frankly, Maino’s diss track against 50 Cent from last week hasn’t packed all that much of a punch. It appears as though the fans just really don’t care all that much. Perhaps there is some fatigue, as it feels like 50 is beefing with everyone. Even Papoose’s 50 Cent diss track didn’t have the impact some assumed.

Whether or not Maino will continue to deliver diss tracks against Akademiks and others, is something will be answered in due time. However, given how these tracks have largely flopped, one could assume that it is time to just throw in the towel.

Stunna Girl called out Ahna Mac in a recent video on social media, accusing her and her boyfriend of jumping Zeus Network CEO Lemuel Plummer. In doing so, she implied that Mac recently labeled her “disrespectful.”

“Every time y’all get mad you bust the n***a out of hold something over his head. Y’all all do the same sh*t… Every time a b*tch gets mad, they literally are busting out everything,” she began. “I’m confused, that’s the same b*tch that’s been saying she was gonna bust out Lemmy for like three years now. That weak ass tea that she just put out, I’m just confused. You’ve been saying you’re gonna bust out Lemmy for three years. Now, b*tch, we’re waiting. You’ve been holding it over the man’s head to get a bigger check, we’re waiting. Girl, you are not no saint. Every time you get mad, you hold the sh*t over his head, so come out with it.”

When Live Bitez shared Stunna’s rant on Instagram, fans in the comments section labeled her hypocritical. “Mind you SHE DO THE SAAAME SH*T to EVERYBODY. Pls go to hell,” one user wrote.

The post Jack Harlow’s “Got Blacker” Comment Sparks Wild List Of Nicknames appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Jack Harlow’s return after a three-year hiatus may not be going how he envisioned. If you didn’t know, the Louisville, Kentucky rapper completely ditched his pop rap aesthetic and went headfirst into its neighboring genre that is R&B. Monica is wholly a neo-soul/R&B project, and it’s upset some of his fan base.

But that’s not the only thing that’s gone wrong over the last 72 hours or so. Prior to the album’s release, Harlow appeared on the New York Times‘ podcast, Popcast. During his sit-down with Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, he discussed how he didn’t fall intoĀ “that safer landing spot that a lot of my white contemporaries have found.”

While he didn’t mention anyone by name, it was implied that the comments were about artists like mgk and Post Malone. Both of them veered off into more “traditionally white” genres like punk rock and country.

As a result of not being another rapper of his skin color to do so, he feels he “got Blacker” instead. “I think I love Black music. I love the sound of Black music… Of course, it appealed to me to do something that I felt like, at a time when there’s plenty of people expecting me to take some of the routes that y’all are taking, to take the route that not only might not be expected but is also the one I genuinely want to take. So, all the stars aligned in that way for me, to be honest.”

Overall, the wording of his explanation is not landing, and it’s led to some ridicule but some jokes as well.

When Did Jack Harlow Drop Monica?

More specifically, users on X have been coming up with some wild nicknames for Harlow, per Bossip. As you can see above, they are pretty creative as they take popular Black artists and put a “whiter” spin on them. Charlie Kirk Franklin, is a twist on the iconic gospel singer. Brian McWhite is a play on 90s R&B crooner Brian McKnight. Then there’s others like Stevie Wonderbread, J’Nilla, Arnold Kelly, and Mos Definitely Not Yakub Kweli.

As of yet, Harlow hasn’t caught wind of this just yet, or at the very least said anything. But he’s a pretty chill and comedic guy himself so it’ll be interesting to see if just lets this roll off of his shoulders.

The 28-year-old hitmaker dropped off Monica last Friday, March 13, which just so happens to be his birthday. It’s nine tracks long and has zero features.

The post 2Slimey Goes Viral For All The Wrong Reasons During PlaqueBoyMax’s “Song Wars” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
2Slimey is an underground rapper who has gone mega viral over the last year or so. Unfortunately, this virality hasn’t always been for making good music. If you have been paying attention, you know that the artist makes music with lots of distortion, lots of autotune, and lyrics that are hardly decipherable.

He is the latest in a new lineup of underground artists who prioritize shock value over the music itself. When you listen to a 2Slimey song, you are met with a barrage of sounds, and at a certain point, it all sounds a little bit ridiculous. While some young rap listeners love this new sound, others find it absolutely repulsive.

2 Slimey found that out the hard way over the weekend as he was a contestant on PlaqueBoyMax’s “Song Wars” series. 1300Saint, Slayr, and many others participated in this weekend’s edition of the contest. For those unaware, “Song Wars” features artists playing a new song for an ensemble of judges. Whoever has the best song wins the weekend.

Southside, DJ Akademiks, BruceDropEmOff, and ImDontai were just some of the judges this week, and it was here where they were introduced to 2Slimey’s sound. As you will see in the clip below, they were not feeling it at all.

Read More: Domani Has Always Been An Underrated Force In Hip Hop

2Slimey Is Not For Everyone

In fact, the vast majority of the judges gave the song a 0/10. Akademiks was the only person willing to show a little bit of grace here. He gave the artist a 5/10. It isn’t a passing grade, but it’s still significantly better than a zero.

Meanwhile, 2Slimey was so upset with the situation that he decided to completely abandon the call altogether. At one point, he gave up, and PlaqueBoyMax was taken aback by the fact that the artist had left the call.

When you make music like 2Slimey, you have to realize that at some point, not everyone is going to love you. Perhaps this will be a life lesson going forward.
