NBA YoungBoy has been teasing fans with his new album Slime Cry, which appears to have generated some confusion over the release date. Earlier this week, the artist said Friday, January 16th. However, he ultimately deleted his post, which has put the album in question. Today, YoungBoy got one step closer to his album with the new song “Creep Up On Ya.” This song comes complete with one of the most aggressive YoungBoy flows we’ve heard in quite some time. In fact, his voice is out of control at times, which matches the energy of the production. This is perhaps one of the most off-the-wall tracks we have gotten from YoungBoy in quite some time. Whether or not it resonates remains to be seen.

Release Date: January 14, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Slime Cry

Quotable Lyrics from Creep Up On Ya

F*ck it, you know that I’m thuggin’
I bought a brand new XD for you
Shavin’ the back of the cutter, shavin’ the barrel on the shotty
Lil’ kid, we done caught him in public
He done put his lil life on the line, pluck him

The iconic Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” is making its triumphant return at the end of 2026. This release celebrates the 30th anniversary of the legendary Space Jam movie featuring Michael Jordan.

@zsneakerheadz reports that the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” will be released on December 12th, 2026.

It’s shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest and most anticipated sneaker drops. The “Space Jam” Jordan 11 holds a special place in sneaker and pop culture history. Michael Jordan wore these during the 1995 NBA Playoffs before they appeared in the movie.

The film cemented these kicks as more than just basketball shoes but cultural icons. This marks another return for the beloved black and royal blue colorway over the years.

The 30th anniversary timing makes this drop even more significant for collectors and fans. Black patent leather mudguard wraps around the shoe creating that signature glossy Jordan 11 look.

Royal blue accents hit the Jumpman logo and translucent outsole completing the classic palette. Younger sneakerheads who missed previous releases finally get their chance to own these legendary shoes.

The high-top silhouette sits right at the ankle with that padded collar we know from Jordan 11s. The whole shoe just screams classic Jordan design with that perfect balance of performance basketball heritage and lifestyle wearability that made these so legendary.

Security footage captured a shocking robbery at Syndicate Los Angeles sneaker resale shop. A vehicle deliberately crashed through the storefront during what appears to be a coordinated theft.

The incident has left the popular sneaker boutique with significant damage and empty shelves. Surveillance cameras showed the car ramming into the building during overnight hours recently.

Multiple suspects can be seen entering the store after the vehicle created an entrance. The thieves moved quickly grabbing merchandise before fleeing the scene within minutes.

Syndicate Los Angeles posted images showing completely empty display cases and shelving units afterward. The store’s Instagram showed the devastating aftermath with barren walls where sneakers once sat. They assured customers they will rebuild and come back stronger from this setback.

The sneaker community has rallied around Syndicate with supportive comments and messages flooding their posts. Fellow resellers and customers expressed outrage over the brazen criminal act targeting the business.

Syndicate has been an important part of LA’s sneaker culture for years now. The store provides a physical space for collectors to buy, sell, and trade kicks. Losing inventory and dealing with property damage creates huge financial strain on any small business.

Syndicate Los Angeles Robbed

The security camera footage shows this absolutely wild scene of a car literally crashing straight through Syndicate’s storefront during what looks like a planned robbery. You can see the vehicle busting through the entrance in grainy black and white surveillance video with debris flying everywhere.

Multiple people wearing hoodies rushed into the shop immediately after the car made that opening grabbing sneakers off displays. The aftermath photos show completely stripped shelves with all those black display racks sitting totally empty where rare kicks used to be.

Another shot shows the store’s wall displays picked clean with just the metal shelving brackets remaining on the white walls. The whole thing happened very fast based on the timestamp on the security footage showing it all went down around 3am in the morning.

Syndicate posted these images telling their followers they’ll be back and thanking everyone for the support during this tough situation.

The Air Jordan 7 colorway mystery has finally been solved for the 2026 releases. Jordan Brand confirmed the two upcoming drops will be the “White” and “Phantom” colorways. These names give us major hints about what to expect from each release this year. The Air Jordan 7 Retro “White” is set to drop on June 27th for $225.

This summer release will likely feature a predominantly white upper with accent colors throughout. White-based Jordan 7s have historically been some of the cleanest and most versatile options available.

The Air Jordan 7 Retro “Phantom” follows on September 9th with a $215 price tag. Phantom colorways typically feature grey tones as the primary color blocking across the upper. This fall release should offer a more neutral everyday option compared to the bright summer white.

The “White” name suggests this could be a clean OG-inspired colorway or something completely new. White Jordan 7s work perfectly for summer fits and warm weather styling situations effortlessly. The higher price point hints at premium materials or special detailing throughout the shoe.

“Phantom” indicates a more subdued grey-based palette perfect for fall and winter rotations entirely. Grey Jordan 7s have been popular in the past for their versatility with various outfits.

Air Jordan 7

The Air Jordan 7 is one of those iconic silhouettes that really stands out with its unique design language from the early 90s basketball era. The shoe features that distinctive triangular pattern on the midsole that’s instantly recognizable from any angle you look at it.

Huarache-inspired construction wraps your foot for a snug secure fit that was revolutionary back when it first dropped. The Jordan 7 has this really cool geometric aesthetic with angular lines and bold paneling throughout the upper creating visual interest.

The signature pull tab at the heel making it super easy to slip these on and off quickly. The collar area sits higher on the ankle compared to other Jordan models giving it that authentic basketball-ready look.

Air cushioning in the heel provides comfort while maintaining that performance basketball heritage we all love about Jordans. The overall shape is sleek with a presence that works great both on court and as a lifestyle sneaker.

Charleston White Responds As Viral Report Suggests A Shooting Has Left Him In Critical Condition https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/970606-charleston-white-debunks-death-report Tue, 13 Jan 2026 23:38:32 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=970606 Charleston White is an extremely polarizing internet personality, and right now, he is being subjected to some pretty severe rumors.

Charleston White is by far one of the most polarizing internet personalities out there. However, there is no doubt that he hasn’t been as active as we are used to. It’s been a long while since he has been embroiled in controversy.

Overall, he is looking to keep a low profile these days, and for the most part, he has been able to do just that. However, today was much different, thanks to one particular troll on social media.

There is a new account that has popped up on X, which exists purely to spread misinformation. Some people have even been duped by the account. Today, the user was able to get some people, as they came out and reported that Charleston White had been shot in Fort Worth, Texas, and was in critical condition. In fact, they claimed that White had been shot three times.

White got wind of all this and decided to take to social media, where he offered up a response to the rumors and the reactions to those rumors.

Charleston White Debunks Bizarre Report

White’s statement is proof in and of itself that the rumor was bogus. Having said that, he still felt the need to let people know that he is still alive and well. He also noted that he isn’t even from Fort Worth, and he doesn’t really understand where the rumor came from in the first place.

Clearly, this random X account is looking to create all sorts of confusion. They certainly achieved that goal when you consider how some people actually believed what was being said. It’s unfortunate that this is what social media has come to.

There is a lot of misinformation out there, and it can be difficult to figure out what’s real and what isn’t. Having a veneer of skepticism at these kinds of things is important. If only one person is saying something, then there is a pretty good chance that it just isn’t real. It’s the only way to not get got.

Cash Out has taken no shortage of legal losses in recent years, and now, he’s taken one more. Complex reports that the 35-year-old rapper has been ordered to pay $40 million to one of his alleged sex trafficking victims. The victim in question, J.M., was awarded $10,000,000 in compensatory damages and $30,000,000 in punitive damages earlier this month.

J.M. hit Cash Out with a lawsuit back in 2022, alleging that he violated the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. He allegedly forced her to work as a prostitute, threatening or physically harming her if she did not comply. Cash Out also allegedly forced J.M. to use drugs.

“The court’s ruling underscores that sex trafficking carries serious legal consequences,” J.M.’s attorney, Matthew Stoddard, said of the ruling. “It sends an important signal that exploiting vulnerable individuals is not only morally reprehensible but will be met with substantial accountability under the law.”

Cash Out Sentence

“This judgment reflects a careful judicial recognition of the severity and long-term impact of sex trafficking,” he continued. “It demonstrates that presentation of evidence showcasing the harm and exploitation associated with sex trafficking will compel significant financial consequences regardless of whether a judge or jury is the decision maker.”

“Our firm’s fight will continue as we will now seek to collect substantial sums sitting in the Court’s registry as part of forfeiture proceedings associated with the criminal RICO prosecution of Mr. Gibson,” Stoddard concluded. “We are also exploring the assignment of residual income streams from Mr. Gibson’s rap catalogue.”

Cash Out was convicted of rape, sex trafficking, and RICO charges in July of 2025. Shortly after, he was sentenced to life in prison plus 70 years. His co-defendant, Tyrone Taylor, received the same sentence. His mother, Linda Smith, was also convicted and sentenced to 30 years behind bars.

Ludacris & Nelly To Headline Country Music Festival Featuring Kid Rock https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/970582-ludacris-nelly-headline-country-music-festival-kid-rock-hip-hop-news Tue, 13 Jan 2026 22:51:07 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=970582 Fans aren't happy to see Ludacris and Nelly performing at a festival celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.

Ludacris and Nelly will be joining Kid Rock, Creed, and many more acts in performing at this year’s Rock the Country festival in eight cities across the United States. The event will celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with mostly country and rock music. It will run between May and September with stops in Texas, Florida, New York, and more states.

“It’s this simple. Rock The Country isn’t just a music festival; it’s a movement,” Kid Rock said of the announcement, according to Loud Wire. “In 2026, as America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this is a place for hard-working, God-fearing patriots to gather as one and celebrate freedom, music and the party of the year.”

When The Neighborhood Talk revealed that Ludacris and Nelly would be taking part on Instagram on Tuesday, fans in the comments section were not happy. “Y’all should’ve known Nelly was a Trump supporter when he performed at the inauguration months ago,” one user wrote. Another added: “Not Luda! We’re already know what time Nelly is on.”

Nelly’s Support Of Donald Trump

Nelly previously came under fire for performing at the Liberty Ball following the inauguration of Donald Trump in 2025. Afterward, he appeared on Willie D Live and defended the decision, explaining that he has respect for the office of the President, regardless of who holds it.

“I thought you were riding for me because I put on on for my city, I didn’t know that I had to agree with your political choices,” Nelly said at the time. “I thought it was the things you do (that count). Not the things you say should be done. If you follow what I do, this shouldn’t even be an argument. He’s the president. He won.”

Following Trump’s first 100 days in office, Nelly reaffirmed his confidence in the President during an interview with Fox News Digital. “I’m all for everybody staying positive about any and everything,” he said. “I’m a glass half-full type of guy, I’m more empowered by bringing people together and making sure that we all get what we need, when we need it and why we need it.”

2026 is off to a difficult start for the loved ones of John Forté. The Martha’s Vineyard Times reports that the beloved musician has passed away at the age of 50 years old. At the time of writing, his family has yet to release an official statement on his passing.

According to Chilmark Police Chief Sean Slavin, Forté was found unresponsive on his kitchen floor by a neighbor yesterday (January 12). The neighbor notified authorities, but despite their best efforts, Forté was pronounced dead at the scene. No foul play is suspected.

Reportedly, Forté was taking medication to control seizures after a health scare put him in the hospital roughly a year ago. He is survived by his wife, Lara Fuller, and their two kids.

Forte’s cause of death has yet to be revealed. Fans and friends of the former Fugees collaborator are out in full force, sharing heartfelt messages about the unexpected loss on social media.

“So sad to hear about the Good Brother John Forte,” media personality Premium Pete wrote on Twitter/X. “Always beautiful energy, a chameleon gone too soon. Sending Love and Light to his kids and family! Long Live Combat Jack.” Someone else says, “Rest in peace and power to the incredible John Forte.”

In a 2022 interview with GQ, Forte discussed his last full-length solo album, Vessels, Angels & Ancestors. He called the project “a testament of mindful, loving awareness” about “how you can see the atrocity and still believe that we are stardust, that we are divine.”

“I believe in my heart of hearts that there’s wellness along the way,” he added. “And for that wellness, there’s also gratitude. That’s what I’m wrapping up in my art right now. I’m trying to do that in the most loving, collaborative, open way possible, because it feels better.”

A$AP Rocky’s upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb, is nearing one million pre-saves on Spotify. The update comes ahead of its release later this week, nearly eight years after he shared his previous project, Testing.

Fans on social media can’t wait to hear what Rocky has in store for the highly anticipated release. “And it’s the number one pre-added album on Apple Music. This Friday feels like a big event with this one and I’m there for it,” one user responded to the pre-save news on X (formerly Twitter). Another added: “What are all those Drake h*es gonna say now.”

Rocky shared his first single from the project, “Punk Rocky,” earlier this month with a music video starring Winona Ryder. That song got off to a hot start on Spotify, racking up 1.6 million streams in its first day on the platform.

Following that single, Rocky put out “Helicopter” on Monday, once again sharing a creative music video along with it. While both songs are expected to make the album, Rocky still hasn’t confirmed an official tracklist.
