6ixine recently linked up with Adin Ross and N3on for a livestream, and unsurprisingly, he was very vocal about Pooh Shiesty’s latest legal woes. The Memphis rapper was arrested at his family home in Dallas last week. Reportedly, he’s facing various charges for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane and others. Authorities even accuse him of holding one victim at gunpoint and forcing them to sign a release from his 1017 contract.

6ix9ine played Pooh Shiesty’s music during the stream, also claiming it wasn’t his idea to do so. “By the way, his label just paid us to do this sh*t,” he said with a laugh, as seen in a clip shared by Akademiks TV. “Like, basically trying to pay for his lawyer fees.”

This isn’t all he had to say about Pooh Shiesty’s case, either. He went on to discuss Gucci Mane’s alleged snitching, arguing that it was likely his best option. He accused Keyshia Ka’oir, Gucci’s wife, of cheating on him with Yo Gotti when he was behind bars.

“While Gucci Mane was locked up, his wife was being unfaithful to him,” he alleged. “She was f*cking Yo Gotti. […] Yeah, you tell, now you’re a f*cking victim.”

6ix9ine Adin Ross Livestream

During the livestream, 6ix9ine also poked fun at artists like Playboi Carti and Young Thug for their own livestream appearances. He called them out for trying to act mysterious instead of actually promoting their work.

“Them n****s be over here acting like Rey Mysterio and sh*t,” he explained. “That n***a was tryna promote the n***** song, came out with the baby oil trying to act viral and sh*t. They called him a rat, and he literally froze. He literally froze. […] I walk sh*t down, n***a, f*ck is you talking about.”

He threw a jab at Lil Durk, too, who labeled him a “rat” in the past. “Who is laughing now and crying later?” he asked. “You see how the same thing they threw at me?”

Chicago Sky Trade Angel Reese To Atlanta Dream After Two Seasons https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/987682-angel-reese-traded-atlanta-dream Mon, 06 Apr 2026 17:02:31 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=987682 Angel Reese previously aired out her frustrations with the Chicago Sky last September and that essentially marked the end of her tenure.

The post Chicago Sky Trade Angel Reese To Atlanta Dream After Two Seasons appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Chicago Sky are moving on from Angel Reese after just two seasons. The 2024 number seven draft pick is heading to the Atlanta Dream in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and 2028 first-round pick. Additionally, the Dream are receiving 2028 second-round swap rights.

The LSU alumna, still just 23, is bringing more youth and a consistent double-double threat to the Dream. Last season, Angel Reese actually upped her rebounding average to 12.6, after a 12.0 average during her first run in the league. Both were league-best marks over those two years.

She was everything to the Chicago Sky, despite another abysmal season (10-34) last year. The forward led the WNBA in double-doubles with 23 and tallied 14.7 points and 3.7 assists per contest.

Reese sounds eager to join a roster that went 30-14, the third-best record in the league. The Dream made the playoffs as a result, but unfortunately lost in the first round to the Indiana Fever. They also have tremendous guard play with Allisha Gray (fourth in MVP voting in 2025) and Rhyne Howard. 

In a statement she said, “I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to join the Atlanta Dream organization. I’m focused on continuing to grow my game, competing at the highest level, connecting with the fans, and giving everything I’ve got to the Dream.”

Angel Reese Suggested She Wanted Out From The Chicago Sky

But while it’s an exciting time for the two-time All-Star, she may need to rebuild her reputation a bit. That’s because of some divisive comments she made about the Chicago Sky’s direction and her teammates.

After failing to reach the postseason for the second consecutive year, Reese expressed her frustrations about their guard situation and what she saw as an overall lack of talent per ESPN. “I’m not settling for the same sh*t we did this year,” Reese told the Chicago Tribune in September. “We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a nonnegotiable for me. I’m willing and wanting to play with the best.”

She added in part, “I’d like to be here for my career, but if things don’t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me. But while I am here, I’m going to try to stay open-minded about what I have here and maximize that as much as I can.”

The Chicago Sky felt her statements were “detrimental to the team” and led to her effectively being shut down for the last handful of games. Reese did apologize but this effectively ended her relationship with the organization. Still, they “wish Angel all the best in her next chapter.”

6ix9ine called out Lil Durk while livestreaming with N3on and Adin Ross following his release from prison, last week. In doing so, he brought up Durk’s own legal trouble and referenced Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” to point out how the tables have turned in recent years.

“I’ve learned that everybody who has talked sh*t about me has an opinion until they’re in your situation,” 6ix9ine says. “Pooh Shiesty is now in a situation, Gucci Mane is now in a situation, Lil Durk is now in a situation.”

From there, he brings up Durk’s contribution to Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later.” “Who is laughing now and crying later?” he asks. “You see how the same thing they threw at me?” On the song, Durk raps: “Can you not play that lil’ boy in the club? ‘Cause we do not listen to rats.”

Lil Durk’s Murder-For-Hire Case

Lil Durk has been behind bars since his arrest in 2024, when authorities charged him with murder-for-hire. They alleged that he orchestrated the attempted murder of Quando Rondo two years prior. He has pleaded not guilty.

Earlier this month, Durk discussed how being in jail has impacted his mental health in a post on social media. “I just wanna give y’all an update on my mental, my mind state. I’ve just been reading and getting into these books, just working on my patience,” he said. He further cited Elaine Brown, Fred Hampton, and the works of other “revolutionaries who been through something and stand for something that a lot of people don’t know of or forgot about.”

He continued: “It’s just been sitting on my heart lately to just save this generation, save these kids. They don’t deserve it. I’m just tired of being a pawn for the culture. Just entertaining it and being ignorant. I wanna change the world around to being positive… For these kids, we gotta be their heroes. They gotta look up to us in a positive way. A lot of people ain’t gonna like it. If you can’t make money off of it, they ain’t gonna like it.”

6ix9ine is one rapper who never hesitates to speak his mind, no matter who might be listening. During a recent livestream with Adin Ross and N3on, for example, he shared his unfiltered take on artists who try to act mysterious during streams instead of actually promoting their music. According to him, this includes Playboi Carti and Young Thug.

“Them n****s be over here acting like Rey Mysterio and sh*t,” he claimed, as seen in a clip shared by Akademiks TV. “That n***a was tryna promote the n***** song, came out with the baby oil trying to act viral and sh*t. They called him a rat, and he literally froze. He literally froze. […] I walk sh*t down, n***a, f*ck is you talking about.”

This is far from all 6ix9ine had to say during the stream, however. He also weighed in on Gucci Mane allegedly snitching on Pooh Shiesty ahead of his arrest. He argued that the rapper had no choice but to talk, accusing his wife Keyshia Ka’oir of being unfaithful the last time he was behind bars.

“While Gucci Mane was locked up, his wife was being unfaithful to him,” he alleged. “She was f*cking Yo Gotti.”

Why Was 6ix9ine In Prison?

6ix9ine has also been wrapped up in his own fair share of legal issues lately. Just last week, he was released from federal prison following a three-month stay. Footage of him walking out of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn later surfaced online. In it, he flaunted a SpongeBob SquarePants figurine that Nicolás Maduro allegedly signed.

“That s**t is hard,” he declared at the time. “This s**t is gas, I ain’t gon’ lie. Y’all had 90 days ’til I’m back, y’all got all the time ’til that day.”

6ix9ine was behind bars for violating the terms of his supervised release. It was the second time he went to prison for this. He previously served over a month in prison after pleading guilty to five violations in 2024. Some of these violations included traveling to Las Vegas and Sarasota without permission, testing positive for drugs, and more.

Throughout the song, the two artists reflect on their love for Gucci Mane and disappointment that he’d allegedly snitch on Shiesty. “F*ck you tell on Pooh Shiesty like that? … I’m very disappointed in you,” Nephew raps. “Never thought I’d have to diss Gucci smh,” RXKZeroTheGod wrote in the comments section of the track on YouTube.

The post 21 Savage Sparks Debate For Bumping Pooh Shiesty Amid Gucci Mane News appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Pooh Shiesty shook the foundation of the hip-hop world last week due to his arrest in Dallas. A huge reason why is because of the allegations tied to his handcuffing. If you didn’t hear, government officials allege that Shiesty and eight other individuals orchestrated a robbery and kidnapping on Gucci Mane.

They also allege that it was all to get the Memphis native out of his deal with Gucci’s label, 1017 Global Music. These bits to the arrest remain allegations for now, but folks in hip-hop and those nearby have expressed disappointment in Shiesty.

However, that feeling doesn’t seem like it could be applied to 21 Savage. The UK-born MC recorded himself listening and rapping along to his former collaborator’s comeback single “FDO.”

The clips, caught by Live Bitez, have been making the rounds on social media and it’s stirring up some debate. If you remember, during the rollout of Savage’s WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS? project, the Atlanta-based talent started a campaign denouncing the streets.

It was a divisive stance at the time, with fellow rappers like Blueface, Fivio Foreign, and 6ix9ine pushing back. 21 Savage explained what he meant by “f*ck the streets” amid the hate. “When I say f the streets I’m talking about the part that gave me trauma and made me can’t sleep at night. If you ain’t tired of that part you ain’t been through it!”

What’s The Latest On Pooh Shiesty’s Arrest?

It’s worth noting that Pooh Shiesty was onboard with 21’s message, going as far as to say the streets “traumatized” him. But with the allegations being what they are against the “Back in Blood” songwriter, some folks feel 21 Savage is picking and choosing when to stand by his word.

“I guess it’s only F the streets when your album don’t move [laughing emoji],” one Instagram user replies. “I thought it was f the streets,” another echoes.

A third adds, “YN’s these rappers will have you in prison or the grave [face palming emoji] F the streets listening to street music corny.”

Others are coming to Savage’s defense, stating that there’s nothing wrong with him enjoying a song most hip-hop fans have gravitated towards.

It’s certainly an interesting debate and one we could see continuing if certain people come across these clips.

As for the latest on Pooh Shiesty and his arrest, the feds claim the victims overheard him discussing “rec time” with his parole officer. This allegedly occurred shortly before the “armed takeover” ensued. Shiesty had been on house arrest after his release from prison last October.

Moreover, an FBI agent said that there is no hard evidence like surveillance footage that proves Shiesty nor Big30 carried a gun or threatened Gucci Mane. But even with this uncertainty a judge found probable cause to move the case forward.

UK Government Faces Increased Pressure To Block Kanye West From Wireless Festival https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/987619-uk-government-pressure-block-kanye-west-wireless-festival Mon, 06 Apr 2026 15:06:29 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=987619 Following the release of "Bully," Kanye West is scheduled to headline London's iconic Wireless Festival in July.

The government in the United Kingdom is facing mounting pressure to prevent Kanye West from performing at Wireless Festival in July, when he’s scheduled to headline the three-day event. After Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticized the music festival’s decision to platform West on Sunday, several other prominent voices have spoken out on the issue.

Sajid Javid labeled the situation “disgraceful” in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “Yes, he has spoken about mental health challenges,” he admitted. “That should be met with sympathy. But declaring yourself a Nazi and promoting a song called Heil Hitler should have consequences – and those consequences don’t include being given a stage to spread your hate to thousands of young Londoners.”

He added: “The organisers have a small window to still do the right thing and disinvite him. If they don’t, just like I did with hate preachers, I’m certain the Home Secretary will want to use her powers and block Kanye West from the UK.”

Piers Morgan also weighed in on the site, posting: “Shouldn’t even be a debate. Kanye’s Hitler-loving, Nazi-slathering, Jew-hating bullsh*t should be disqualifying for appearances at any music festival.”

The calls to drop Kanye West from Wireless Festival come after several sponsors have already pulled out from the event. “Pepsi has decided to withdraw its sponsorship of Wireless Festival,” the company said in a statement on Sunday.

Kanye West’s Apology

Kanye West published a full-page apology in the Wall Street Journal, earlier this year. In doing so, he took accountability for his years of antisemitic actions. “I lost touch with reality. Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret,” he wrote in the piece. “In that fractured state, I gravitated toward the most destructive symbol I could find, the swastika, and even sold T-shirts bearing it.”

Last week, West performed at SoFi Stadium, marking his first live show in Los Angeles since 2021. There were calls to cancel that show as well.

Kanye West has gotten wrapped up in his fair share of controversy over the years. These days, however, that’s not preventing him from booking shows. Last month, it was announced that the Grammy winner will headline all three days of London’s Wireless Festival this July.

This news earned mixed reactions from the public. The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, even recently shared his thoughts on it. He made it clear that he can’t get behind Ye headlining the fest, considering all of his past bigotries.

“It is deeply concerning Kanye West has been booked to perform at Wireless despite his previous antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism,” Starmer told The Sun. “Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted firmly wherever it appears. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe.”

Brands also decided to distance themselves from Wireless Festival shortly after Ye’s headlining role was announced. This includes Pepsi and Rockstar Energy, which withdrew sponsorships, and Diageo. Now, yet another brand has opted to cut ties with the festival due to Ye’s involvement. According to ITV News, PayPal will no longer be featured on any promotional branding for the event.

News of all the backlash over Ye headlining Wireless Festival comes shortly after the release of his new album, BULLY. The project reportedly moved 152K album-equivalent units in its first week and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Ye also performed at SoFi Stadium two nights in a row last week. Reportedly, he earned a staggering $33 million for the performances. It broke some records, too, including most tickets sold and the highest-grossing show at the Los Angeles area venue.

Luckily, Trim possesses plenty of confidence to give this title some real weight. You can find plenty of it on “CHRÖME” featuring slayr where she pats herself on the back for all the hard work she’s done to get to the point she’s at already. Spin the braggadocious cut below.
