Monday was an interesting one in the underground rap world as a result of the alleged ilykimchi leaks. Photos were going around of the artist in a compromising sexual position with YSL rapper Tezzus. At the time of these leaks, fans thought that ilykimchi was still dating producer Oogie Mane, which ultimately led to the strong reactions.

ilykimchi eventually responded to the leaks on social media, although she ended up deleting her statement. According to various blogs on X, Tezzus decided to follow up the controversy with a song preview during an Instagram live stream.

As you will hear below, this song sounds like a diss track aimed at Oogie Mane. One could say that this is salt in the wound when you consider everything that has allegedly happened over the past couple of days.

Tezzus Appears To Diss Oogie Mane

However, yesterday evening, Oogie Mane addressed the controversy on X. “Me and her aren’t together anymore, I’m good stop hitting me up please,” Oogie Mane wrote. In his words, this is not a cheating scandal like everyone thought it was. Instead, the two have simply been apart for some time, and this has nothing to do with him.

Ultimately, this story has been going viral on X for 48 hours, and fans are still weighing in. Regardless of how you swing it, this is all extremely unfortunate.

Someone had sensitive photos leaked, which is an egregious invasion of privacy. At the end of the day, ilykimchi is a victim in all of this. Even if some fans on social media want to paint her as a villain.

This is a developing story.

Dame Dash Is Sick Of JAŸ-Z Flexing Beyoncé, Calls Nas Reconciliation “Cringe” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002089-dame-dash-hates-jay-z-beyonce-nas Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:05:33 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002089 Dame Dash is back on "The Art Of Dialogue," where he decided to hate on Jay-Z and Beyonce for their Yankee Stadium performance.

The post Dame Dash Is Sick Of JAŸ-Z Flexing Beyoncé, Calls Nas Reconciliation “Cringe” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Dame Dash has had a lot to say about JAŸ-Z over the past few years. Whenever he is in front of a camera, you can be sure that he is going to say something negative about his former business partner.

With Hov performing at Yankee Stadium this weekend, some fans were looking forward to seeing how Dame Dash would respond. While the hip-hop world is in love with what JAŸ-Z accomplished, it was obvious that Dame would find a way to hate. On Tuesday, that is exactly what he did.

In a new interview with The Art Of Dialogue, Dame Dash directed his hate in some interesting directions. Quite frankly, he put on a masterclass. He started off his criticisms by calling the Nas cameo “cringe.” Dame noted that when he was around Jay, the two were beefing. In his mind, the reconciliation between these two legends is simply unnatural.

Dame Dash Truly Hates JAŸ-Z

From there, Dame Dash went off on JAŸ-Z for flexing Beyoncé. Once again, he thought the video of Beyoncé cutting Hov’s hair was cringe. He also said that he’s had enough of JAŸ-Z showing off his wife. He doesn’t believe their relationship is authentic. Instead, he sees it as completely transactional.

Beyoncé and Nas’ cameos were some of the most well-received moments of the entire weekend. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that Dame Dash would want to be a contrarian and hate from afar.

Some feel as though Dame’s hate is coming from a place of hurt. That if Hov were to invoke a reconciliation, Dame would accept in a heartbeat. For now, however, Dame is going to be Dame.

Future On Track For Impressive First Week Sales With “The Real Me” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002086-future-the-real-me-first-week-sales Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:43:58 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002086 Future just dropped off his new album, "The Real Me," and fans are certainly showing their support, as reflected by projected sales.

The post Future On Track For Impressive First Week Sales With “The Real Me” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Future released his latest album, The Real Me, on Friday. So far, the 22-track album has proven to be polarizing. There are no features on this project, and some feel like this might be the legendary rapper’s worst album. Meanwhile, there are others who believe it could be one of his strongest.

Songs like “2018” and “Alice” contain beats and flows that have left a lasting impression, for better or for worse. Regardless, fans are still tuning in. Future has over a decade of slaps under his belt, and this has created a sense of trust between himself and the listener.

That said, it should come as no surprise that The Real Me is projected to debut at number one on the Billboard 200, despite the criticism. In fact, according to Kurrco, the artist is likely to sell 135K units.

Future Dominates The Charts

These numbers are simply sensational. For an artist who has been in the game as long as Future, this kind of sustained success is a blessing. We live in a microwave society. Artists are chewed up and spat out. Only a few have the luxury of maintaining their success for years at a time. Future is one of those artists, and it is beautiful to see.

Achieving a number one album is no easy task, although it is one that Future has accomplished before. Now, with The Real Me, he is on pace to experience this thrill all over again.

If you are someone who didn’t love the album on first listen, perhaps it is time to give it another chance. After all, these numbers suggest that fans are, indeed, resonating with The Real Me.

Drake Takes Subtle Shot At Kendrick Lamar For Being “Jay-Z’s Pawn” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002083-drake-kendrick-lamar-shot-jay-z-pawn Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:25:12 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002083 While the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef is two years old, Drizzy still seems to have some negative feelings towards K-Dot.

For two years now, Drake and Kendrick Lamar have dominated hip-hop discourse. While Kendrick appears done with the beef, Drizzy still feels some type of way. After all, he was hit with some serious allegations during the beef, and the knock to his reputation is still felt to this day.

While Drake has certainly made a significant comeback with ICEMAN, he is still upset with how things played out. Throughout his new album, he takes numerous subliminal shots at Kendrick Lamar. Meanwhile, there have been a few instances on social media where he has let his feelings be known, albeit in subtle ways.

For instance, We Love Hip Hop Network recently had a discussion about whether or not we are truly living in the “Dot Era.” The co-hosts made the claim that Lamar’s time in the spotlight is over and that no one cares about him anymore. Furthermore, they alleged that Kendrick was simply a pawn for Jay-Z. As you will see below, Drake liked this discussion on Instagram. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out what that means.

Drake Continues To Take Subtle Digs

One could make the argument that Drake is simply showing some support for a Toronto-based podcast. While that is certainly the case, the conversation in this specific post is a bit too on the nose. Drake knows exactly what he is doing here.

Now that Drake has released his album, there are some folks who believe a Kendrick Lamar album could be on the way for the end of the year. However, there is no confirmation that this will be the case. Instead, everyone will need to take a wait-and-see approach.

If he does drop, there is no doubt that the discourse will be unrelenting. Kendrick haters will call it a flop, even if it goes number one on the charts. As for Drake, we imagine he will continue to hate from afar.

Rick Ross has been going viral on social media in the lead-up to his album, Set In Stone. It all started with the artist being spotted at the airport flying commercial. To some, this is completely innocuous. To others, this was an indictment of his “boss” persona.

Subsequently, the artist revealed that he had already been paid for his new album. This led to a debate about whether or not he is trying to make excuses, just in case his album flops.

On Tuesday evening, Ross gave fans the tracklist and feature list for his new project. As you will see, almost every single song has a feature on it. There are 19 tracks, and it appears as though Rick Ross is coming straight for the algorithm.

Surviving the crash was only the beginning for Gloss Up. From her hospital bed, the Memphis rapper is now sharing what she remembers about the accident that left her with a severe foot injury, including the terrifying ambulance ride where she repeatedly questioned whether part of her leg was gone.

Gloss said she was driving on the expressway around 3 a.m. when she saw a black car spin out before she struck another vehicle that wasn’t moving. She maintained that she wasn’t speeding, but the impact left her foot nearly torn off. Once inside the ambulance, fear set in as she tried to understand the extent of her injuries. Gloss recalled repeatedly asking paramedics if her leg was gone. She also said she paid close attention to their worried expressions as she waited to learn whether doctors could save her foot.

Gloss Up Explains Saying Her Foot Was Amputated

The severity of the injury initially created confusion online. Gloss first told followers that her foot had been amputated while posting from the hospital.

Her team later confirmed that the surgery was successful and shared graphic photos to show the severity of her injuries, explaining that amputation had been a very real possibility.

Recovery will take time, but Gloss is already thinking about life beyond her hospital room. She said her focus remains on healing and being there for her family after an accident that could have ended very differently. Gloss even said she still intends to complete her upcoming birthday photoshoot, joking that she may have to make it happen from the hospital.

Nike Atelier Unveils New Collection With Victor Wembanyama https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002068-nike-atelier-victor-wembanyama-streetwear-news Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:39:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002068 The Nike Atelier Total 90, made for Victor Wembanyama, mixes soccer heritage with French team detailing ahead of its July 20th preorder.

The post Nike Atelier Unveils New Collection With Victor Wembanyama appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Nike Atelier has released its second collection built around a French athlete this year. This time, the brand teamed up with NBA star Victor Wembanyama. The collection includes a jacket, a rugby-style shirt, and an extra-long pair of pants.

Each piece draws on French National Team imagery, tying into World Cup anticipation. Wembanyama, who plays for the San Antonio Spurs, stands at staggering 7 feet 4 inches tall. He needs custom-tailored clothing because standard sizing rarely fits him.

The signature piece in this collection is a soccer boot called the Total 90. Nike based the design on the original Total 90 Laser III from the 2000s. That earlier boot was worn by players like Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres.

Wembanyama’s version comes in off-white leather with a folded tongue and clean detailing. A Nike Atelier logo replaces the usual soccer boot branding. Pre-orders for the Total 90 open on July 20th. Nike has not confirmed whether the shoe works as a lifestyle sneaker or a true soccer boot.

Wembanyama said his lifestyle shapes his approach to clothing. He also said comfort matters most to him. The collection reflects Nike’s growing use of the Atelier platform for individual athletes. It also shows how Wembanyama’s global profile continues to expand off the basketball court.

Nike Atelier x Victor Wembanyama

Nike Atelier built this project around Wembanyama’s unusual proportions and international profile. The French national team imagery appears on the jacket, shirt, and boot detailing.

Nike Atelier previously worked with Desire Doué on a Mercurial-based collection using similar premium materials. Wembanyama’s Total 90 boot keeps the silhouette recognizable while simplifying the paneling found on the original.

The leather upper stays monotone, avoiding the busy colorways common in past releases. Early photos show soccer studs on the outsole, suggesting Nike may position this as functional footwear. Still, the polished finish and Atelier branding also fit a lifestyle audience. Wembanyama’s involvement continues Nike’s pattern of using individual athletes to expand smaller, high-end product lines.

New in-hand photos of the Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” are out now. The images come from sneaker account @THEREALJTSG on social media. They show the shoe up close ahead of its September release.

Black leather covers the entire upper, including the side panels. That base has stayed consistent across every version of this colorway. Chrome hardware sits on the midfoot straps for contrast.

Further, the silver detailing gives the shoe its “Chrome” name overall. The outsole carries grey and silver tones with a Jumpman print. Grey chenille branding appears on the tongue, matching past releases closely.

A “23” mark shows up stitched onto the heel area. This colorway first released back in 2003, well after the shoe’s debut. It later returned once in 2015, then disappeared for over a decade. Now it’s coming back for a third time this fall.

The Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” releases September 12th through Nike and select retailers. These new photos give fans their clearest look yet. They confirm the retro is staying close to past versions. For a shoe with this kind of history, that consistency matters most.

Air Jordan 8 “Chrome”

The Air Jordan 8 originally debuted back in 1993, during Michael Jordan’s third title run. The “Chrome” colorway wasn’t part of that original lineup though. It arrived a decade later as one of the first non-OG Air Jordan 8s. That early 2000s release helped introduce the model to new fans.

Kobe Bryant even wore the shoe during his 2003 playoff run. Its black-and-silver look set it apart from louder Jordan releases at the time. The design leans on the same crisscross straps found across the model.

Chrome buckles and midsole trim give the shoe its signature finish. After sitting dormant since 2015, the colorway is finally returning again. These new photos suggest Jordan Brand kept the formula largely unchanged.

Overall, this pair is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2026. Stay tuned for official images and more details closer to the release date.
