Just a couple of weeks ago, Lil Durk was found not guilty on all charges in his murder for hire case. He was facing five charges, two of which were related to murder-for-hire, three of which were for stalking. Now, he faces a separate VICAR trial which will determine whether or not he gets to come home.

While Durk was fully acquitted, his co-defendants, OTF Dede and David Lindsey, were found guilty on the three stalking counts. These convictions come with lengthy sentences, and their legal team is doing everything it can to get the decision overturned.

According to reporter Michael Blackshire, attorneys have filed Rule 33 and 29 motions to get a new trial and an acquittal. At this time, a judge has yet to decide on the new motions.

Lil Durk Associates File New Motions

“Defendants Lindsey and Wilson moved for judgment of acquittal underFederal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29 at the close of the government’s case on September 3, 2026; the Court reserved decision under Rule 29(b), and the motions were renewed at the close of all the evidence,” the motion reads.

Lil Durk’s legal situation continues to be one of the biggest stories in hip-hop, especially when you consider how he was able to beat his initial case. However, the work does not end here for him. With Dede and Lindsey filing new motions, Durk also has to continue fighting his VICAR case.

As it stands, Durk is expected to appear in court on November 4 for a bond hearing. The VICAR trial was also supposed to take place in a few weeks from now, although it is likely to be delayed.

This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

Oregon’s “Mummy Duck” Foamposite Pro Finally Hits Retail https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010575-nike-air-foamposite-pro-mummy-ducks-sneaker-news Tue, 22 Sep 2026 11:50:05 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010575 The Nike Air Foamposite Pro "Mummy Duck" releases November 3rd for $240, bringing Oregon's spooky PE to retail.

Oregon’s spooky Foamposite Pro PE is finally getting a public release. The “Mummy Duck” colorway drops November 3rd for $240, carrying the style code IZ7806-001.

Black covers the molded classic shell from top to bottom, with some subtle striping that runs throughout the upper. An oversized jewel Swoosh anchors the design, wrapped in textured bandage-style material to lean fully into the Halloween theme.

A muted volt green hits show up in glow-in-the-dark form across the outsole and other scattered spots on the shoe. That detail lets the pair light up in low-light settings, adding some extra flair beyond the daytime look.

Oregon branding stays intact throughout, including the Ducks mascot stitched onto the heel and the school’s signature “O” logo placed on the tongue. It’s a design built specifically around the university, even as it heads to a wider retail audience.

Given how much attention the original PE got last year, this retail version should move fast once release day hits. Nike and Oregon have had a relationship that goes back to Nike’s founding, so this pair is special.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Mummy Ducks”

This design first debuted back in September 2025, when Oregon players wore the “Mummy Duck” Foamposite Pro and matching cleats ahead of a primetime matchup against Penn State. That original version stayed exclusive to the program and never made it to retail.

Oregon has built one of the strongest relationships with Nike of any college program, regularly receiving standout PEs across football and basketball alike. Foamposites specifically go back over a decade with the school, dating to an “Oregon” colorway that released back in 2013.

That history makes this “Mummy Duck” release feel like a natural next step rather than a one-off idea. Nike has clearly leaned into giving Oregon’s most memorable PEs a shot at wider release once the moment feels right.

With Halloween timing built right into the design, this drop should land as one of the more fitting seasonal releases of the fall.

Bun B Proves Dreams Come True With Sneaker Raffle Win https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010570-bun-b-victor-victor-air-force-1-sneaker-news Tue, 22 Sep 2026 01:31:07 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010570 Bun B won a pair of the Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1 through a public raffle, no inside connections needed.

The post Bun B Proves Dreams Come True With Sneaker Raffle Win appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Bun B is celebrating a big sneaker win. The Houston legend landed a pair of the red Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1 ’01 through an open raffle, with no industry connections involved.

“No seeding. No private link. Entered the raffle and hit,” Bun B said. “Never stop dreaming. They do come true. Waiting on the next color to shoot my shot.”

That quote hits different coming from someone as plugged into sneaker and hip-hop culture as Bun B. Even with decades of industry relationships, he still went through the same public raffle as everyone else. Bun B could likely make a few calls and secure pairs without much effort at all.

Choosing not to says something about how much he actually respects the process. The pair itself features a bold red leather upper, paired with white Swooshes and a black outsole. Victor Victor’s signature dog logo shows up on both the insole and the lateral heel, tying the design back to Steven Victor’s imprint.

Seeing someone with Bun B’s standing celebrate a raffle win says a lot about how exciting this release has been across the sneaker community.

Bun B’s Victor Victor Air Force 1 Win

The Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1 line has picked up serious momentum since its debut. Spurs star Victor Wembanyama helped kick off that buzz, wearing early colorways during the NBA Finals before any official release existed.

Red now marks the third colorway revealed in the lineup, following earlier black and yellow pairs. Each version has stuck to that same clean color-blocking approach, keeping the ’01 shape’s chunkier, early-2000s build.

Limited raffles have become part of what makes this release feel special. Stories like Bun B’s show that even well-connected figures in the culture still have to compete for a pair like everyone else. That’s really what sneaker culture is supposed to be about at its core.

Losing a raffle a few times only makes an eventual win feel that much sweeter. That’s a feeling every real sneakerhead understands and respects, no matter how big a name someone already has. For a collaboration already generating this much excitement, moments like Bun B’s win only add to its growing reputation.

The post In-Hand Images Unveil The Upcoming Air Jordan 4 “Bred” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” is officially coming back, and this time it’s built the right way. The retro drops November 27th, Black Friday, for $230, carrying the style code FV5029-001.

This marks the shoe’s seventh release since its original 1989 debut. Black covers the upper, paired with classic grey accents and Fire Red hits running through the midsole and outsole. “Nike Air” branding returns to the heel, keeping things true to the model’s earliest form.

Unlike the last couple releases, this version leans fully into its OG proportions. That means a slimmer toe box, cleaner panel lines, and the original silhouette shape fans have wanted back for years. It’s a clear step away from the tumbled leather build used on the 2024 “Reimagined” pair. Even small details like the eyelet spacing and wing details are said to match the ’89 blueprint closely.

Given this shoe’s history, retailers should expect heavy demand once release day actually arrives. The “Bred” colorway has sold out almost immediately every time it’s come back. Black Friday timing only adds more pressure to an already stacked shopping day for sneaker fans.

Air Jordan 4 “Bred”

The “Bred” 4 is the exact colorway Michael Jordan wore during “The Shot,” his iconic buzzer-beater against Cleveland in the 1989 playoffs.

Tinker Hatfield designed the original Jordan 4 that same year, and “Bred” remains one of the clearest examples of his early vision for the line. That connection alone has kept the colorway near the top of most grail lists for over three decades.

Its retro history reflects that status too. Versions have dropped in 1999, 2008, 2012, and 2019, with each one drawing serious attention from both longtime collectors and newer fans discovering the shoe for the first time. The 2019 version alone is still considered one of the strongest retro releases Jordan Brand has ever dropped.

Bringing back the true OG shape after years of tweaked builds should make this one of the most anticipated Jordan 4 releases in recent memory. For fans, this finally feels like the definitive version they’ve been waiting on.

The post Jhené Aiko Scores First Billboard 200 No. 1 With Westside Whimsy appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Nearly 13 years after first reaching the Billboard 200, Jhené Aiko has finally claimed its top spot. Westside Whimsy debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated Sept. 26, giving the Los Angeles singer the first Billboard 200 chart-topper of her career. According to Billboard, the album earned 74,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the tracking week ending Sept. 17. The accomplishment also makes Westside Whimsy the first R&B album by a woman to lead the Billboard 200 in 2026.

The milestone comes after several close runs at the summit. Aiko made her Billboard 200 debut with Sail Out, which peaked at No. 8 in 2013. Souled Out reached No. 3 the following year, while Trip landed at No. 5 in 2017. Her previous career high belonged to 2020’s Chilombo, which debuted at No. 2 and later earned an Album of the Year nomination at the Grammys. Westside Whimsy is now her sixth Top 10 project.

Streaming Powered Aiko’s No. 1 Debut

Most of the album’s opening week came from streaming. Billboard reports that 70,000 of its 74,000 units were streaming-equivalent albums, representing 71.33 million official on-demand streams. Traditional album sales contributed another 3,500 units, while track-equivalent activity accounted for the remaining 500. The project also debuted at the top of Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart.

Westside Whimsy arrived Sept. 11 with little runway, having only been formally announced three days earlier. The 20-track album features Kendrick Lamar on “So Good,” Ab-Soul on “Love Bomb,” Tyga on “Like, Whatever,” Larry June on “Neighbors,” and OHMA on the closing track “Golden Coast.”

The album is also Aiko’s first full-length studio release since Chilombo six years ago. She celebrated the new chart peak on Instagram by thanking listeners and later telling fans, “What’s mine is ours.” Check out the album above.

The post Ari Fletcher Denies Falling Out With Yung Miami Over Stefon Diggs appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

A fresh round of relationship gossip has pulled Stefon Diggs into Ari Fletcher’s ongoing tension with Arrogant Tae’s mother. After allegations surfaced that Fletcher had previously been involved with the NFL star, she denied knowing him and challenged anyone spreading the story to produce evidence.

The claim came from Tae’s mother, who alleged online that Fletcher and Yung Miami had once fallen out over Diggs. She did not publicly provide proof of a relationship between Fletcher and Diggs, and Fletcher wasted little time rejecting the accusation.

“The internet is a sick ass place,” Fletcher wrote on X. “I’m so tired of the drama, lies and negativity. I know it’s easier to hate than love but it really gets to a f*cking point.” She continued, “On my brother yall done said so many lies about me this year it’s scary. But yall really going too far with these n*ggas I do not know. If y’all got proof POST IT! Stop f*cking lying on me especially about these n*ggas.”

Yung Miami Was Previously Linked To Diggs

Part of the allegation appears to pull from older speculation surrounding Diggs and Yung Miami. In December 2024, we reported that the two sparked dating rumors after they were spotted at the same Miami restaurant around his birthday. Yung Miami pushed back on that chatter shortly afterward. She declared herself “Young, Rich, outside, & single!!!!!” rather than confirming any romance with Diggs.

No public evidence has surfaced establishing that Fletcher dated Diggs or that a dispute with Yung Miami developed because of him. Diggs later entered a highly publicized relationship with Cardi B, with whom he shares a child. TMZ has referred to the NFL player as Cardi’s “baby daddy” while covering their relationship.

Fletcher’s response didn’t try to unpack every accusation circulating about her. Instead, she drew a simple line around the latest one. If someone is going to claim she was involved with Diggs, she wants receipts. Meanwhile, she’s been enjoying a blissful life with her longtime beau, Moneybagg Yo.

The post Stefon Diggs Debuts New Air Jordan 6 Low Cleats appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Stefon Diggs is at it again with another standout custom cleat. This time, it’s an Air Jordan 6 Low built in a white and maroon colorway, matching his Commanders colors.

White leather covers most of the upper, keeping the base clean and simple. A glossy maroon shell wraps the toe and heel, giving the cleat some real contrast against that white. That combination ties directly into Washington’s burgundy and gold color scheme, making it an easy fit for gameday.

The Jordan 6’s classic shape translates surprisingly well into cleat form. Its rounded toe and mid-panel detailing stay largely intact, even with the thinner, performance-ready build underneath.

This follows a recent pair of Air Jordan 17 Low cleats Diggs debuted, continuing a steady run of custom Jordan silhouettes since signing with Washington. Diggs has quickly established himself as one of the league’s go-to names for standout cleat customs. Further, this pair only adds to that reputation early into his time with the team.

Since these are player-exclusive builds, there’s no retail release or price attached. They’re made specifically for Diggs to wear on the field, not for public purchase.

Stefon Diggs’ Air Jordan 6 Low “Maroon” Cleats

Diggs signed with Washington back in August, joining Jayden Daniels and the Commanders after his release from New England. Custom cleats have become one of his early signature moves with a new franchise, something he’s done at nearly every stop in his career.

Diggs has worn Jordan Brand cleats consistently since signing with the label. He works with custom artists to remix classic silhouettes into football-ready builds. The Jordan 6, 7, and 17 have all made appearances in his rotation at different points, giving him one of the deeper cleat catalogs in the league.

Function has always mattered just as much as style for Diggs specifically. Most of his customs still use a lightweight base underneath all that Jordan-inspired detailing, keeping performance intact despite the flashy look. That balance is part of what’s made his cleat game so consistent over the years, rather than just a one-off gimmick.

With a new team and a fresh set of colors to work with, expect plenty more Jordan-inspired cleats from Diggs as the season rolls on.

The post Tay Keith’s Estate Faces Credit Card & Car Payment Claims appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Nearly $200,000 in creditor claims have been filed against the estate of late producer Tay Keith, with American Express and Bank of America seeking payment tied to credit cards and a luxury vehicle. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, American Express National Bank filed two claims this month. One seeks roughly $60,000 connected to a Business Platinum account, while a second seeks approximately $27,000 from a separate Platinum account.

Bank of America also filed a claim involving Keith’s 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS. The financial institution says the estate owes about $115,000 on the vehicle. Together, the claims exceed $198,000. The filings are creditor claims against the estate, meaning the amounts are being presented for payment through the probate process. They do not, by themselves, establish that every amount will ultimately be approved or paid as submitted.

Keith Left Behind A Significant Estate

The claims arrive after creditors were formally notified to come forward during probate. In July, TMZ reported that a family member had been appointed administrator of Keith’s estate and disclosed substantial assets, including bank and money market accounts, a Mercedes-Maybach, a Lamborghini, and a 50 percent interest in a Memphis home.

His estate also includes business and music-related holdings. The filing cited interests in Shadow Tequila and an engineering studio, along with Keith’s publishing rights, music catalog, trademarks, and royalties. According to the probate documents, Keith was unmarried, had no children, and left no will.

Keith, whose legal name was Brytavious Lakeith Chambers, died June 18 at age 29. The Nashville Medical Examiner later determined that he died from the toxic effects of ketamine and mitragynine, a compound found in kratom, TMZ reported.

The post Quando Rondo Shuts Down Rumors He’s Back In Jail appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Rumors that Quando Rondo had been taken back into custody began circulating online over the weekend, but the rapper says there is no truth to them. He addressed the speculation directly on his Instagram Story with a brief warning to fans. “Don’t listen to that fake news,” Quando wrote.

No credible report or official record has surfaced indicating that Quando was arrested again or returned to federal prison. The confusion likely stems from his current legal status, which is more complicated than simply being “free.”

Quando, whose legal name is Tyquian Bowman, was transferred out of federal prison and into community confinement earlier this year. Complex reported in June that Federal Bureau of Prisons records listed him under RRM Atlanta after he left FCI Edgefield in South Carolina. A BOP representative told the outlet that community confinement can include either a residential reentry center, commonly known as a halfway house, or home confinement.

Quando Is Still Completing His Federal Sentence

The move came after Quando served roughly 15 months behind bars on a federal drug conviction. He pleaded guilty in 2024 to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribute marijuana and was sentenced to 33 months. XXL reported that his sentence was later reduced by five months, clearing the way for his transfer into community confinement. His projected full release date remains Nov. 11.

That means Quando is still serving the final portion of his federal sentence under BOP supervision, but available records do not support the social media claims that he has been sent back to jail or prison.
