]]> ICEMAN isn’t the only album Drake dropped on Friday. Of course, he also came through with albums like HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR. Overall, ICEMAN is the album where Drizzy does most of the rapping. It’s a solid offering, and one of the tracks, “B’s On The Table,” features one of Drake’s favorite collaborators, 21 Savage. This song contains some solid rapping from both, though some might feel the 21 feature misses the mark. After all, we have heard these two do better in the past. Either way, 21 and Drake have once again lended themselves to the discourse cycle.

Release Date: May 15, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: ICEMAN

Quotable Lyrics from B’s On The Table

Go to the hotel right after your game
Or come to your show and get back on the plane
This contract talk is fryin’ my brain
The number they talkin’ is actually insane

]]> Drake and Popcaan have collaborated in the past, so it should come as no surprise that they would do so again. Of Drake’s three new albums, MAID OF HONOUR is the one with all of the club tracks. There is unique production throughout this project, and “Amazing Shape” is no different. On this song, it is Popcaan who truly shines. After all, as a dancehall artist, he is accustomed to these beats and rhythms. He and Drake maintain their chemistry, and overall, this is a song that you can’t really be mad at. If you want Drake to rap, you’ll have to check out ICEMAN for that.

Quotable Lyrics from Amazing Shape

Love when you wine for me, fulfill your fantasy

The post Fortworth – Song by Drake featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Drake dropped 43 new songs on Friday, spread out over the course of three albums. It was an extremely ambitious idea, yet somehow, he was able to make it work. It was the kind of surprise that fans were not expecting, but were certainly happy about. One of the albums is HABIBTI, and on that record is a gorgeous R&B cut featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR called “Fortworth.” It doesn’t sound outside of the realm of what these two have done before. Regardless, it is a nice track and one that sees both artists in their comfort zone.

Release Date: May 15, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: HABIBTI

Quotable Lyrics from FORTWORTH

I’m getting booked in Little Rock, Arkansas
New Haven, Connecticut, and places where they probably still fly the Confederate
I’m all alone in the United States of America
And who’s, who’s back at home takin’ care of ya?

]]> 6ix9ine Explains Why He Called Fat Joe A “B*tch”: “I Stand On That” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995231-6ix9ine-fat-joe-beef Sat, 16 May 2026 00:30:34 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995231 The beef between 6ix9ine and Fat Joe continues, as Tekashi doubles down on his criticism of Joey Crack, calling his stories "cap."

The post 6ix9ine Explains Why He Called Fat Joe A “B*tch”: “I Stand On That” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> In Hip Hop, it’s common for artists not to get along, but it seems Tekashi 6ix9ine continues to face off against his longtime foe for sport once again. Over the years, we’ve witnessed the controversial New York rapper take aim at several of his peers. At this point, it’s not surprising when he makes scathing comments about fellow rappers, and this time, Fat Joe is in his crosshairs after years of back and forths.

Despite his prison stints and incendiary remarks, 6ix9ine continues to make waves among his fans and supporters. He recently sat down with DJ Vlad to answer a few questions, and the famed interviewers wanted to know Tekashi’s thoughts behind saying this about Joe: “He’s a b*tch, he’s been leaning back for 20 years.” The rapper replied, “Yeah, I said that. I stand on that sh*t.”

6ix9ine Elaborates On His Issue With Fat Joe

Vlad asked 6ix9ine why he made the comment in the first place.

“I think somebody asked me something, and I just said, ‘He’s just a b*tch.’ I think Fate Joe is just a gimmick. I was with him…I never f*ckin’ felt no—like, Fat Joe, it’s not like this…I don’t know how to explain it. He’s just not what people think he is.” Which is? “He’s a b*tch!”

The “FEFE” hitmaker then accused Joey Crack of lying about robbing “50 people in the gym,” saying it was “cap.” 6ix9ine also alleged that Jadakiss, who co-hosts the Joe & Jada podcast with Fat Joe, consistently calls out Joe for making up stories. “I just don’t…I don’t know. I look at him as a hater.”

The conversation continued, with Vlad suggesting that Fat Joe often trolls. “I thought gangstas don’t troll?” questioned 6ix9ine. Then the rapper questioned whether he was allowed to troll and transition the same way his critics were. Check out the clip above.

]]> If you’ve been living under a rock for the last week, we’re in the thick of Drake season. His rollout for his anticipated ICEMAN album shifted at the top of the morning today (May 15) after he surprised fans with not one but three new records. As people have been dissecting all things related to his latest bars and disses, Toronto continues to praise their hometown hero, including the city’s mayor, whose office was even featured in one of Drizzy’s ICEMAN episodes.

In a sit-down with CityNews, Mayor Olivia Chow beamed as she spoke about the 6 God. She was questioned about the rapper being allowed in chambers while handling certain items. “It’s okay, Drake has done so much for the city,” said Chow.

Toronto Mayor Is Proud Of Drake

She continued, “The world was watching, and he’s making us proud. So, yes, he borrowed it one evening, and we had an arrangement, and they put it back in, and so all’s good. But think about how many people, outside Toronto, are watching that. It’s a promotion for the city and his music. It’s not just Canadians, it’s worldwide. So, that was quite incredible fireworks. I watched it on YouTube, I thought, ‘Whoa, spectacular.'”

Additionally, a note reportedly from Drake to Mayor Chow was shared online. It showed a notepad that stated, “Thank you my crodi Crolivia Chow! ICEMAN 2026.” Check out the clip of the mayor on the news above and Drake’s note to Chow below.

The post Chris Rock Claims He Dated The Same Women As Tupac appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Decades after his death, people are still talking about Tupac Shakur, and this time, it’s Chris Rock with the mention. In recent years, conversations surrounding the comedian have been laced with gossip about his infamous slap by Will Smith at the Academy Awards. As people continue to speculate about what really happened that evening, Rock recently switched up the chatter by saying he almost got into a fight with Pac, a longtime friend of Jada Pinkett-Smith, after learning they were involved with the same women.

During his appearance on the Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade podcast, Rock admitted that Shakur “didn’t like” him, adding that their relationship was “weird.” He said, “It’s always the same sh*t, [we were] f*cking the same girls. He always won that battle.”

A Rapper Lost Too Soon

Sadly, Tupac was shot on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas after attending a Mike Tyson fight alongside Suge Knight. A white Cadillac reportedly pulled alongside the car Tupac was riding in and opened fire. He was struck multiple times and died from his injuries six days later at just 25 years old.

For years, the case became one of music’s most infamous unsolved murders. His feud with The Notorious B.I.G. became central to how many people interpreted the killing, even as definitive answers remained elusive for decades.

Then, in 2023, Las Vegas authorities arrested Duane “Keefe D” Davis in connection with Tupac’s murder after years of public speculation surrounding his alleged involvement. Prosecutors accused Davis of orchestrating the shooting, reopening public attention around the case nearly 30 years after Tupac’s death.

]]> “ICEMAN” Episode 4 Is Drake’s Greatest Homage To Toronto Since “Views” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995219-drake-iceman-episode-4-livestream-toronto Fri, 15 May 2026 23:06:08 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995219 Drake turned Toronto into living mythology in the "ICEMAN" finale. From the CN Tower to City Hall to Toronto’s oldest strip club, he reinforced the reach of his influence across the city’s landmarks and identity.

The post “ICEMAN” Episode 4 Is Drake’s Greatest Homage To Toronto Since “Views” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> 10 years ago, people debated whether Drake actually sat atop the CN Tower for the Views cover. It was Photoshopped, but it didn’t matter. The image still worked. Views was a moment for Toronto. Drake became hip-hop’s de facto Top Boy, having defeated Meek Mill in their feud (rather easily), earning a Grammy nod for a diss song, and then doubling back with “Summer Sixteen.” Views didn’t carry the tension of the Meek Mill feud. That arrived on “Summer Sixteen.” The album itself felt more like a coronation: Drake turning Toronto into mythology at the exact moment he became unavoidable as a pop star.

Ten years later, Drake no longer needs to photoshop himself onto Toronto landmarks. Now, the city itself participates in the mythology. The circumstances today are different from those of a decade ago. It was only last year that Kendrick Lamar returned to Canada for the first time since their battle, selling out two nights at the Rogers Centre to 72,000 people chanting for an encore of “Not Like Us.”

But for as much of a W as it may have been for Kendrick Lamar after already defeating Drake, two nights can’t undo a career of paying homage to a city and uplifting it into a global hub that’s worth paying attention to. If Views captured Drake at the moment he conquered rap’s center, ICEMAN arrives after the center briefly turned against him. Toronto, however, never really did.

The ICEMAN livestream finale treated Toronto less like scenery than infrastructure in its visuals. The city’s landmarks became active participants in Drake’s mythology, beyond serving as a backdrop. In “Make Them Remember,” Drake records inside Mayor Olivia Chow’s office wearing the city’s ceremonial chain. In another scene from the livestream, he sits in City Hall with Chromazz on his lap. Few rappers possess enough civic cachet to turn City Hall into set design.

The CN Tower becomes its own character again. Reports suggested 75 projectors lit it in blue for ICEMAN, and he filmed parts of “2 Hard 4 The Radio” inside the tower’s radome—a space most Torontonians have never seen.

ICEMAN works because it revisits the city that produced him. Aerial shots of the Rogers Centre might be interpreted as some sort of shot at Kendrick, but it’s also a place that builds from his past and explores a pivotal moment in his personal and professional life. The return to Guild Park and the Rogers Centre recalls the “Headlines” video, one of the first moments Drake fully framed himself as Toronto’s defining rap figure.

Places like Sotto Sotto no longer function as simple restaurant references in Drake’s music. They’ve become part of the architecture of his career. Filming “Burning Bridges” inside the restaurant, surrounded by old friends and family, turns it into another node in his personal mythology.

Earlier in his career, Drake often filmed Toronto like an underdog city—somewhere cold, local, and slightly overlooked. The If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late short film, Jungle, turned the streets into cinematic landmarks. That approach becomes harder to replicate once both the artist and the city become global commodities. But ICEMAN still finds pockets of lived-in Toronto: Adonis joyriding in a police cruiser on Lake Shore Boulevard with Shane Gillis, the University of Toronto Scarborough campus reframed in “National Treasures,” and Brass Rail appearing as part of the city’s internal mythology rather than tourist spectacle.

Even the rollout’s scavenger-hunt theatrics reflected that dynamic. The ice-block scavenger hunt near Dundas and Church became a temporary civic event—fans breaking into sculpture to find the release date. When Kishka eventually uncovered it, the moment read like a low-level ritual of participation in Drake’s orbit.

The thing is, ICEMAN can’t be considered a homecoming—he never left in the first place. But the livestream for episode 4 and the music videos that accompanied this album illuminated the city in a way that he hasn’t done since Views. Views sold Toronto as an atmosphere. ICEMAN documents Drake’s ownership over its memories, institutions, and mythology. At a moment when his cultural dominance feels less secure than it once did, ICEMAN uses Toronto to remind the world that his roots there remain immovable.

]]> Young Dolph’s Killer Sentenced Following Plea Deal https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/995218-young-dolph-cornelius-smith-killer-sentenced Fri, 15 May 2026 23:04:29 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=995218 After cooperating with authorities, one of Young Dolph's killers, who admitted to the crime, learns his fate.

The post Young Dolph’s Killer Sentenced Following Plea Deal appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Four and a half years after Young Dolph was gunned down in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, one of his accused killers has been sentenced. It was in November 2021 that Dolph visited Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies, an eatery he was known to frequent. While there, two men were seen in a white vehicle approaching the store before firing off several rounds at the rapper. It was later stated by officials that Dolph had 22 gunshot wounds, including to his forehead and body.

Cornelius Smith, Justin Johnson, and Hernandez Govan were arrested in connection with the crime, and now there is an update on one of the purported perpetrators. According to Fox 13 News, Smith, who was initially charged with first-degree murder, has agreed to a plea deal. He has reportedly accepted “a lesser charge of second-degree murder after he had confessed” to gunning down Dolph. Moreover, Smith cooperated with authorities to help convict Johnson.

Reports further say that Smith told police he and others executed Dolph, real name Adolph Thornton Jr., following a hit put out by Yo Gotti’s late brother, Big Jook. Johnson has already been tried and convicted, earning a life sentence. Govan also faced a lengthy sentence of his own after being alleged to be involved in the crime, but he was later acquitted.

As part of his deal, Smith agreed to a 20-year prison sentence. Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy said in a statement: “Young Dolph was a beloved member of this community, his death a tragedy, his murder an outrage. We’re glad to finally have this last part of the case resolved. The sentence properly reflects the gravity of the offense while giving due consideration to the cooperation this defendant provided. We hope this resolution can give Dolph’s family some sense of closure.”

The post Kanye West’s New Delhi Concert Canceled appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> It looks as if Kanye West continues to take hits regarding his live shows. In recent months, Ye has made several announcements regarding potential concerts in various countries, only for them to be canceled due to his ongoing controversies. West is considered one of the world’s leading music artists, with a career that spans decades. Despite his successes and famous connections, Ye’s scandals involving scathing remarks about aligning himself with Nazism and far-right, conservative movements have given people pause.

According to TMZ, West was all set to perform in New Delhi, India, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium next week on May 23. However, the outlet noted that the Indian government had concerns about potential threats due to “rising socio-political tensions.”

Ye Has Endured Several Concert Cancelations Recently

Moreover, White Fox released a statement via Instagram about Ye’s most recent cancellation.

“We are deeply disheartened to announce that Ye live in India, scheduled for May 2026 in New Delhi, has been officially canceled following security advisories and directives issued by the concerned government and law enforcement authorities amid the current high-alert situation in the capital.”

This show is one of a few European dates that have been axed in recent months. West was all set to perform in both Switzerland and Poland, but both countries decided against hosting him following protests. Some promoters and organizations cited Ye’s wild remarks in recent years, with others fearing violence or backlash if he’s allowed to appear.

Meanwhile, West has been on a redemption tour of sorts, apologizing for his previous behaviors and meeting with religious leaders. Fans who purchased tickets to the New Delhi concert are said to receive full refunds.

The post Charlamagne Tha God Trolls DJ Khaled After Drake’s “ICEMAN” Diss appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> The Breakfast Club reacted to Drizzy’s new trilogy this morning (Friday, May 15), as Drake finally dropped ICEMAN along with HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR. Charlamagne Tha God was overall pretty mild on the whole thing, but he did take some time to react to the 6ix God dissing DJ Khaled on the icy LP.

The specific diss appears on the track “Make Them Pay,” and sees Drake rightfully calling out Khaled for not supporting his native Palestine. “Yeah, Khaled ain’t gon’ like this,” Charlamagne remarked after the project’s release. His thoughts appear at around the 3:35-minute mark of the YouTube video below.

“I told y’all,” Tha God continued, as he had announced Drake’s DJ Khaled diss earlier this week. “Khaled, I tried to warn you three days ago that you was getting a big shot. How can he [respond]? Like, ad-libbing? What is he supposed to do? Does Khaled even got rappers to respond? He’s either going to make Khaled lose more weight or gain more weight from stress-eating. One of the two.”

After the We The Best Music celebrity’s silence on Palestine, many fans are applauding this call-out. We will see if he responds more directly.

DJ Khaled Responds To Drake

But DJ Khaled may have already responded to Drake via an Instagram caption from a post he put up today. “LET GOD RISE AND ALL HIS ENEMIES SCATTER,” he wrote. “No man nuh badda than JAH and a wi a run JAH crew. Unoo come in a unoo thousands and two. They stand against you and hating me. Dem just caant go through dem heart nuh clean nor free. I remind dem so much of who they are supposed to be. I am of royalty dem lost dem identity.”

For those unaware, Drake and DJ Khaled previously had tension for unclear reasons, although one could assume it was because Khaled stayed pretty silent, neutral, and amicable with some of Drizzy’s enemies. He claimed The Boy was going to be on his next album, but the Toronto superstar shut that down quick.

We’ll see if any other ICEMAN targets respond. For now, everyone from hardcore fans to media titans is weighing in.
