Over the years, Adam22 has found himself at odds with numerous current and former No Jumper hosts. Some feel as though the disrespect for his talent has simply gotten out of hand. The 4xtra situation is a prime example of this.

4xtra was a former host on No Jumper, who lost numerous fingers in a fireworks accident. It was a tragic situation, although Adam22 made light of it on his podcast. To add insult to injury, Adam laughed about it alongside 4xta’s enemies. This subsequently led to a very public falling out, in which 4xtra and Adam22 made diss tracks about one another. Adam’s was infamously called “Fireworks Safety Tips.”

Recently, 4xtra was back on No Jumper, where he got to hash things out with Adam. It was here that he outlined his feelings and why Adam’s mockery hurt him so much.

4xtra And Adam22 Hash Out Their Beef

4xtra notes that Adam’s diss track really set him over the edge. He even admitted that there were times when he wanted to kill Adam. Despite these admissions, Adam didn’t really acknowledge the hurt feelings. Instead, he continued to make fun of the situation, asking 4xtra if he thought the diss track was hard.

It’s yet another example of Adam22 using friends and former friends for content, instead of being apologetic. 4xtra was vulnerable in that moment, and in the end, the whole thing was played off as one big joke.

At this time, it remains to be seen whether or not 4xtra will stick around the No Jumper orbit. No matter what, you can’t help but empathize with someone who lost their fingers in a tragic accident.

Kanye West & Travis Scott Perform “Father” At Don Toliver’s Show: Watch https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000444-kanye-west-travis-scott-don-toliver-octane-tour Tue, 30 Jun 2026 12:41:33 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000444 Don Toliver was performing in Los Angeles last night, where he brought out Kanye West and Travis Scott, much to everyone's shock.

Kanye West and Travis Scott have delivered some incredible collaborations over the years. In fact, Scott and Ye began working together over a decade ago on YEEZUS. This was Scott’s foray into mainstream hip-hop success, and the two have maintained a relationship ever since.

However, it hasn’t always been good times between these two. During Ye’s media tour a few years ago, he called Travis a clone. Meanwhile, amid Ye’s anti-semitic streak, Scott distanced himself, just as many others did.

These days, the two are back on good terms. Scott was even featured on Ye’s song “FATHER,” which was featured on the new album, BULLY. Last night in Los Angeles, the two got to perform the song together at Crypto.com Arena.

This was all thanks to Don Toliver, who was in Los Angeles for the second night in a row as part of his OCTANE tour.

Ye came out first, and as you can imagine, he received a massive ovation from the crowd. No one was expecting this to happen, and the reactions proved that. Ye began performing a few songs, and once he got to “FATHER,” there was some anticipation that Travis might come out.

Just before his verse, Scott could be seen making his way to the stage, which led to another massive ovation. It was a pretty cool moment, and one that these fans will not soon forget.

Toliver has worked with Ye before. Meanwhile, Toliver is still signed to Scott’s Cactus Jack label. Given this information, seeing the three on stage together shouldn’t be that shocking. However, it was still an unexpected moment, and for these fans, were sure the cameos alone were worth the price of admission.

Lil Wayne Poses Next To His Fiancée During Visit With Skip Bayless https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000441-lil-wayne-maddie-cannon-skip-bayless-meeting Tue, 30 Jun 2026 12:17:21 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000441 Lil Wayne had one of his friendly link-ups with Skip Bayless over the weekend, and his fiancée, Madi Cannon, was there as well.

The post Lil Wayne Poses Next To His Fiancée During Visit With Skip Bayless appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Lil Wayne is currently engaged to Madi Cannon, a 23-year-old social media influencer from Kokomo, Indiana. At the time of writing this, not too much is known about Cannon, except for the fact that she also goes by Madi K.

It is unclear where Wayne and Cannon met, although now they are set to get married, which is a cause for celebration. For the most part, the two have been keeping their relationship low-key. If it weren’t for TMZ, we probably wouldn’t even know about this engagement.

That said, the two made a rare appearance on social media together this weekend. This was all thanks to legendary sports television host Skip Bayless, who visited Wayne before his tour. The two are very good friends and hang out quite often. Typically, the visits consist of Wayne, Skip, and Skip’s wife, Ernestine. However, this time around, Madi K was there, as evidenced by the photo Bayless posted on Instagram.

All four looked to be having a good time with one another. Although for many, this was their first time seeing Wayne next to his new fiancée. After weeks of keeping things under wraps, it almost feels fitting that it was Skip Bayless, of all people, to deliver this latest photo.

At this time, wedding plans are still unknown. Wayne has been engaged two times before. These engagements were to Nivea and La’Tecia Thomas, although he has never been officially married.

As for his engagement to Cannon, only time will tell whether or not he begins to open up about the relationship.

YourRAGE Exposes Best Friend Of 25 Years On Camera For Allegedly Stealing Over $100K https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000438-yourrage-exposes-best-friend-stealing Tue, 30 Jun 2026 11:48:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000438 YourRAGE is going viral this morning after a video in which he exposed his former best friend of stealing money from him.

YourRAGE is one of the biggest streamers in the world. Overall, the AMP member has amassed tens of thousands of subscribers on Twitch, while also earning millions of followers.

Unfortunately, the pitfalls of fame and fortune have seemingly got the best of him. On Monday night, the streamer went viral for a video he posted on his social media. YourRAGE was in distress as he filmed himself crying about a situation he never thought he’d encounter.

As he explains in the video, his best friend of 25 years had allegedly been stealing from him. The friend had allegedly gotten away with it for months, racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen money. However, YourRAGE finally caught on to what was happening, and decided to expose his friend, once and for all.

YourRAGE’s Accusations Go Viral

The video is quite harrowing, as YourRAGE turns the camera on his friend, who appears to be crying as well. The two are in Rage’s backyard, with the streamer telling his friend that he doesn’t want to see him again.

It was an emotional moment for both men, although in the case of the friend, it seems as though he was sadder about being caught red-handed. YourRAGE told his friend that he was there for him through hard times. He even offered him a house to stay in while attempting to get back on his feet.

The streamer clearly feels betrayed, and it is easy to see why. Additionally, it is easy to see why this story would go viral on social media. Many can relate to these kinds of stories, even if there aren’t always hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. Betrayal from a friend stings the hardest, and you can’t help but empathize.

The post Organic Motion – Song by Larry June appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Larry June has just delivered his new song, “Organic Motion,” a track that feels like a Mac Dre and Rick James tribute all rolled into one. The Rick James sample is one that you have likely heard before, although there is no doubt Larry June brings a level of freshness to it. There is a real late 80s-early 90s West Coast throughline here, with June dropping solid bars, utilizing his signature flow to his advantage. It’s a bouncy song, and one that should be blasting through your car speakers as the weather gets warmer.

Release Date: June 30, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Organic Motion

I might go mansion, I keep on havin’ (Havin’ it)
I’m good on gas, I’m slidin’ to Sac (Slidin’)
I’m havin’ a bag, I’m bringin’ it back (Good job)

Skechers OG Anunoby Wore In The Finals Are Available For Pre-Order https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000430-og-anunoby-x-skechers-skx-nexus-sneaker-news Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000430 Pre-orders for OG Anunoby's Skechers SKX Nexus "NYC Blue" give fans a chance to own the shoe from his iconic NBA Finals tip-in.

The post Skechers OG Anunoby Wore In The Finals Are Available For Pre-Order appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Skechers is giving fans a chance to own the shoe OG Anunoby wore during one of the more memorable moments of this year’s NBA Finals. Pre-orders for the Skechers SKX Nexus “NYC Blue” PE open July 1st at 10 AM EST. The shoe ships in October, giving buyers plenty of time to lock in ahead of next season.

Anunoby wore this exact colorway during Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. The Knicks trailed by 29 points before completing the biggest comeback in Finals history.

Anunoby tipped in a missed three-pointer from Jalen Brunson with 1.2 seconds left, sealing a 107-106 win. He also wore the pair during the championship-clinching Game 5.

The shoe features an all-blue upper with orange laces, branding, and outsole details. Those colors line up with the Knicks’ alternate jersey look. Anunoby’s personal “OG” logo sits on the tongue in orange. His signature also appears on the insole, preserving the player exclusive feel.

Skechers confirmed that a full signature shoe for Anunoby is also in development. This release marks the first time fans can buy his PE directly.

It also makes Skechers Basketball a championship-winning brand after just three years in the performance space. The pre-order window is expected to be limited before it closes.

OG Anunoby x Skechers SKX Nexus

OG Anunoby signed with Skechers Basketball earlier this season, joining a growing roster of NBA players on the brand. He rotated between the SKX Reign and SKX Nexus throughout the postseason. The “NYC Blue” pair became the most visible of the two after Game 4. That moment tied the shoe directly to one of the biggest wins in Knicks history.

The SKX Nexus itself is a low-top performance basketball shoe. It uses a breathable mesh upper and a torsion plate for added stability on court. Goodyear Rubber on the outsole handles traction during quick directional changes.

Skechers Basketball is still relatively new compared to Nike and Adidas. The brand launched its performance hoops line less than three years ago. Winning an NBA title in only its third season gives the line a strong early story. Adding a signature shoe for Anunoby keeps that momentum building going forward.

Rather than stopping by for a quick cameo, Megan became part of the action. After making a dramatic entrance, she hosted the Hot Girl Bakery challenge before introducing two new bombshells, Amora Cachee Robinson and Carl Schmidt, whose arrival immediately shook up the villa. She also couldn’t resist weighing in on some of the season’s biggest storylines, calling out contestant KC over his behavior following Casa Amor. She also put Corbin in his place when he tried to act like Megan was checking him out.

The appearance marks Megan’s second visit to Love Island USA. She first entered the villa during the previous season, where she introduced new contestants, hosted a challenge, and showcased pieces from her Hot Girl Summer swimwear collection. Her reaction on this most recent appearance has fans talking about her recent breakup with NBA star Klay Thompson. Some believe that she went in on the guys for being deceitful because Megan publicly declared that Thompson cheated on her.

The post Angela Simmons Says Pastry Once Outsold Jordan Brand appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Angela Simmons recently claimed that her sneaker brand Pastry once outsold Jordan Brand at Foot Locker. She made the comments during a sit-down with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay.

Simmons co-founded Pastry alongside her sister Vanessa in 2007, while both were still teenagers. The brand grew out of their time on the reality show Daddy’s Girls.

According to Simmons, Pastry scaled from around $15 million in annual sales to $75 million during the show’s run. She recalled getting the news that Pastry was outselling Jordan and not believing it at first.

Lines of over 3,000 people showed up at store appearances to buy shoes and get autographs. For a brand that launched with no outside backing, that kind of response was unexpected.

Simmons credited the brand’s success partly to a gap in the market. She said there were very few women’s sneakers actually designed by women at the time. Pastry filled that space with playful, dessert-themed colorways and packaging. Names like Red Velvet and Strawberry Shortcake helped the shoes stand out on shelves.

The brand eventually expanded into apparel and accessories before shifting toward performance dance footwear. Vanessa Simmons returned as creative director to lead that transition. Looking back, Angela described the whole run as a serious business education.

Angela Simmons Says Sneaker Brand Outsold Jordans

Pastry launched in 2007 at a time when women’s sneaker options were limited. Most brands treated women’s shoes as afterthoughts, often just smaller versions of men’s styles. Pastry took a different approach by designing specifically for a female audience from the start.

The brand leaned into its dessert theme across everything from colorways to packaging. Early releases came in cake box-style boxes, and some versions included light scents. Colorways carried names like Chocolate Moose and Strawberry Shortcake, which matched the playful tone.

Reality television gave Pastry its first major boost in visibility. Daddy’s Girls brought both sisters and the brand directly into people’s homes. That exposure translated into real foot traffic at stores and strong early sales. Over time, Pastry shifted away from lifestyle footwear and toward a performance dance market instead.

Lions Release Terrion Arnold Following Kidnapping & Robbery Charges https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000418-terrion-arnold-detroit-lions-released-robbery-kidnapping Tue, 30 Jun 2026 01:05:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000418 A judge set Terrion Arnold's bond at $1 million as the former first-round pick faces charges that could send him to prison for life.

Most NFL teams often wait for the legal process to unfold before making major roster decisions. The Detroit Lions chose a different path Monday (June 29). They cut ties with cornerback Terrion Arnold just hours after a Florida judge set his bond in a criminal case that now threatens both his freedom and his football career.

Arnold was released by the organization less than a week after surrendering to authorities in Hillsborough County. He is facing multiple felony charges, including four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery. During Monday’s hearing, a judge set his bond at $1 million while ordering the former first-round draft pick to surrender his passport and avoid contact with the six other defendants named in the case. According to CBS Sports, prosecutors had asked the court to hold Arnold without bond pending trial, but that request was denied.

The allegations stem from a February incident that investigators say began after more than $250,000 worth of cash and valuables disappeared from an Airbnb Arnold had rented with friends in Florida. Rather than waiting for the investigation to run its course, authorities allege Arnold helped orchestrate a plan to lure three men to an apartment where they were assaulted. The men were said to have been held against their will at gunpoint, pistol-whipped, and robbed after being suspected of the original burglary. Prosecutors contend Arnold coordinated the operation remotely while communicating with the others through a group chat and live video feed. These allegations in his case will ultimately have to be addressed in court.

Arnold turned himself in on June 24 following a months-long investigation that resulted in the arrests of six additional suspects before charges were filed against him. If convicted, the charges he faces carry the possibility of life in prison. This placs both his future in football and the criminal case itself under intense scrutiny.

Moreover, Arnold’s legal team released this statement to the Detroit Free Press: “Terrion Arnold categorically denies any involvement in the matters underlying the allegations made against him and maintains his innocence. There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations. Instead, the government appears to be relying on testimony from multiple convicted felons who have admitted their own involvement and may have substantial incentives to shift blame in an effort to lessen their sentences. Mr. Arnold looks forward to his day in court and is confident that the judicial process will lead to his ultimate vindication.”

Social media has become one of law enforcement’s most useful investigative tools. Prosecutors say it played a key role in the latest case involving a woman accused of carrying out a string of organized retail thefts across Washington. Investigators allege videos and photos posted online helped connect Janeice Downs to the theft of luxury handbags just days after the crime was reported, with one clip featuring Yung Miami’s viral “Spend Dat” challenge drawing particular attention.

According to Fox 13 News, Downs was arrested June 12 after Bellevue, Washington, detectives linked her to the alleged theft of two Louis Vuitton handbags worth more than $7,000 from a Nordstrom store in downtown Seattle. Authorities say surveillance footage captured two women working together to distract a sales associate before leaving with the merchandise.

Detectives also allege Downs later shared images of the handbags on Instagram, while a TikTok video posted the following day showed her mother, Janeice Wiley, holding purses investigators believe were stolen as Yung Miami’s “Spend Dat” played in the background.

The allegations come only months after Downs was released from prison following a previous conviction connected to an organized retail theft ring that targeted Lululemon stores. Prosecutors say she and Wiley were previously accused of stealing more than $500,000 worth of merchandise before Downs pleaded guilty to multiple organized retail theft charges. Investigators now allege that the latest case reflects a pattern, with Downs once again facing organized retail theft charges as the prosecution proceeds.
