For instance, Ebro, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez were all in attendance. Since going independent from Hot97, the trio has been steadily building the Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show. As it turns out, the trio has been eliciting a ton of positive attention. As Ebro explains at the 20-minute mark of today’s episode, there fan reception has been sensational.

“Guys, I gotta say bro, we’re kinda poppin’ outside,” Ebro said. “Walking around, the amount of people who watch this I was pretty floored by.”

LeBron James Gives Ebro His Flowers

 Even LeBron James is taking notice of what is going on. When he saw Ebro, he went over and told them that he enjoys the show. “Yo! LeBron James…Bron James…Bron was like, ‘I see what y’all doing. Nice move,'” Ebro revealed.

LeBron James loves hip-hop, so it should not come as much of a surprise that he consumes as many shows about it as possible. However, this does serve as a point against all of the haters who said that The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show wouldn’t work. Even without Hot97, they are maintaining solid numbers and growing at a reasonable pace. With Jay-Z poised to continue his huge 2026, you can imagine that shows like Ebro’s will continue to thrive.

Meanwhile, LeBron remains in the midst of an important decision. He is a free agent, and has yet to decide where he will be spending the final season(s) of his career.

The arrest took place during the quarter-final matchup between England and Norway. Five others were arrested, and 19 others were simply ushered out of the Hard Rock Stadium. Of course, during the World Cup, it goes by the name Miami Stadium, as title sponsors are prohibited from the tournament.

Per CBS’s report, the six arrests stemmed from cases of trespassing to theft to battery on a police officer. None of these arrests were connected with one another, and it is currently unknown why Tommie Lee, specifically, was hit with an arrest.

Tommie Lee Arrested

Regardless, this is an unfortunate development for the reality TV star. Back in the Summer of 2024, Tommie Lee was arrested for battery at a nightclub in Miami. Tommie Lee, real name Atasha Jefferson, also faced child cruelty, aggravated assault, battery, and aggravated stalking charges in 2019.

These legal troubles are quite unfortunate, and at this time, Tommie Lee’s potential punishment for her latest arrest remains unknown. What we do know, however, is that her arrest did not affect the World Cup match.

There are only four more games left in the tournament. The semi-final match between Spain and France goes down on Tuesday, while England and Argentina play on Wednesday. The losers will play Saturday in the third-place game, with the winners playing for the World Cup championship on Sunday.

One line in particular that caught people off guard surrounded the controversy with Colin Kaepernick. “They digging deep for narratives, it’s embarrassing/They running outta characters, had to bring back up Kaep again,” he rapped. “Buddy took a check, I ain’t even mad at him/ but with that check he had to sign a non-disparagement.”

Colin Kaepernick Sources Respond

Well, according to TMZ, that’s false, and sources close to Kaepernick accused JAY of being in the wrong here. The report says that Colin Kaepernick never signed a non-disparagement agreement with the NFL after he sued them for allegedly colluding against him.

Apparently, no clause actually existed in the deal that Colin signed in 2019. Sources close to him point to the fact that he’s continued to make remarks about the league as proof that he never signed a non-disparagement deal. “Colin couldn’t post about how many days it’s been since a team hired him” if the non-disparagement deal was in place, a source told them. The deal between Kaep and the NFL was ultimately private, and neither of them has been able to detail their agreement. 

TMZ suggested that Jay’s recent comments are because of the news that Colin and Tyler Perry are paying for a private autopsy and the funeral service for Nolan Wells. However, the real reason was ultimately contextualized in the freestyle where JAY went after “Twitter activists.” Fans openly criticized his decision to work with Target for an exclusive vinyl at a time when people are boycotting them for their anti-DEI stance.

This subsequently led to a diss track, as well as various videos, which were posted throughout the weekend. Overall, fans were a bit taken aback by all of this. After all, it is a one-sided feud that completely came out of nowhere. The artist then went after Atlanta as a whole, which led to even more confusion.

Now, it appears as though YoungBoy is taking aim at none other than Lil Baby. We say this because the artist liked a recent video from DJ Akademiks, in which he says Baby is struggling, while Gunna is thriving.

Overall, this is just a continuation of their feud. YoungBoy has diss tracks against the likes of Lil Durk and even Lil Baby. With this Instagram like, he is simply doing what he has done in the past. Hating from up close, while also hating from afar.

The timing of all of this is certainly bizarre. Lil Baby has not dropped new music in some time. Meanwhile, Future and YoungBoy have never had tension in the past. This has all popped up out of nowhere, and YoungBoy’s fans are a bit concerned about what’s really going on here.

Whatever the case may be, it remains clear that YoungBoy is out for war right now. Whether or not another diss track is on the horizon remains to be seen.

Back in September, Boosie was seeking clemency for his Federal gun charges. The best way to achieve this was through a pardon from President Trump. However, that requires access to the President himself. Access that Boosie didn’t have. This is why he ultimately sought the services of Wohl and Burkman, who sold him on the dream of getting his pardon.

“They were real aggressive, they were talking like they had Trump on speed dial,” Boosie said, according to an investigative piece from NOTUS.

In the contract, it was stipulated that JM Burkman & Associates had until January 31, 2026, to get Boosie pardoned. That day came and went without any results. Now, Boosie wants a partial refund, as outlined by the contract.

Boosie Badazz Wants His Money Back

According to NOTUS, Wohl and Burkman are refusing to honor the refund, which could be worth upwards of $300K. They say there was never any such refund stipulation in the agreement. However, NOTUS’ review of the documents confirms that there is, indeed, a section about partial refunds, should a pardon not be secured before January 31, 2026.

JM Burkman & Associates are also claiming that they are bankrupt and simply cannot pay Boosie, even if they wanted to. Needless to say, the artist is out $600,000 and has to continue to fight for his freedom.

In the past, pardons used to be reviewed by the Department of Justice. However, in the Trump regime, these things have become a multi-million dollar industry. Lobbyists are claiming to have access to the President, and in Boosie’s case, it has led to a loss of funds and an unfathomable amount of frustration.

Boosie’s battle against Wohl and Burkman remains ongoing.

Only JAŸ-Z seems to have the type of influence to bring Rihanna out of hiatus for a minute. During night three, Rihanna came out on stage to perform “Run This Town” before jumping into her song, “B*tch Better Have My Money.” However, even Rih acknowledged that her time away from the stage has impacted her ability to perform. 

“Y’all know I’m rusty, right? It’s been a while. Y’all with me right now?” she said on stage.

It was a dope reunion to see both of them on stage together, especially a few years removed from her iconic Super Bowl Halftime Show performance. However, it has been years since the two performed together on the same stage. That alone felt monumental, especially when she joined a long-list of artists who’ve helped form Jay’s legacy in one way or another.

JAŸ-Z Brings Out Beyoncé

Outside of Rihanna, the other major guest that Hov brought out during the Yankee Stadium residency is his wife, Beyoncé. She helped kick things off on Friday night for his Reasonable Doubt celebration by handling the hook duties on “Can’t Knock The Hustle,” and returned again on Sunday night for a performance of “Drunk In Love.” Friday also saw their daughter, Blue Ivy, perform the piano riff for “Feelin’ It” live. 

As much as these shows celebrated his legacy, it also seems like it could be ushering in a rollout for a new album. Do you think Hov is dropping an album before the year ends? Let us know in the comments.

As you will see below, A$AP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator were in the VIP section near the stage. They were having a phenomenal time, as was the rest of the crowd.

The post A$AP Rocky & Tyler, The Creator Turn Up At JAŸ-Z’s Yankee Stadium Show appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Unfortunately, the evening went down without the presence of another New York legend, DMX, who passed away in 2021. In honor of his memory, JAŸ brought out Swizz Beatz, and the two came through with a tribute to the Yonkers legend. The two played “Ruff Ryders Anthem” to a crowd singing along word for word. 

Of course, Hov and X’s relationship had its ups and downs. While JAŸ helped clear X’s debt with Def Jam, the “Where The Hood At” MC once claimed that Hov tried to hold him back while he was the president of the label. X users quickly referred to an interview with The Breakfast Club where DMX went into detail about their relationship.

JAŸ-Z & Swizz Beatz Celebrate Storied Relationship

During Swizz Beatz’s appearance on stage, the two went through some of their biggest collaborations to date. After “Ruff Ryders Anthem,” they slid through “Welcome To The Jungle,” “So Appallaed,” “Jigga My N***a,” and “On To The Next One.” The medley alone certainly reminded us of all the hits the two have together. 

In addition to Swizz Beatz, night three saw JAŸ bring out Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Jeezy, Usher, and more. It was undoubtedly a weekend that lived up to that anticipation that had been building for the past few months. Check out the clip of JAŸ and Swizz Beatz’s tribute above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Dozens of songs were performed, and there were appearances from Jeezy, Pharrell, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and a whole lot more. In fact, while Pharrell was on the stage, Clipse came out to perform “Grindin.'”

Of course, Pusha T and No Malice have had a huge year following the success of Let God Sort Em Out. It only made sense for Hov to bring out the legends and give the crowd something they would never forget.

The post Clipse Bring The House Down During JAŸ-Z’s “Extra Innings” Show appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

During JAŸ-Z’s star-studded Extra Innings performance on Sunday, Pharrell joined him on stage, again, and seemingly revealed that Hov would be releasing some sort of new music. More specifically, he suggested that Hov could be targeting an unnamed individual.

“They poked the bear and then the bear cut his hair and now he got on his helmet,” he said. “And he getting ready to go to work. I hope you kill all them n*****, y’all know what I’m talking about.”

One could only imagine that it could be a slight toward Drake, who dissed both JAŸ and Pharrell in recent times. P has been rather indifferent to Drake’s shots. However, Kendrick certainly wasn’t. And considering that Hov recently took shots at Drizzy during his Roots Picnic freestyle, it seems highly possible that new music could contain more disses toward him.

JAŸ-Z Brings Out Beyoncé, Rihanna, & More

The three-night performance at Yankee Stadium kicked off with the 30-year celebration of Reasonable Doubt, including performances from Beyoncé, Jaz-O, and Nas. Night two saw JAŸ celebrate the 25-year anniversary of The Blueprint with Pharrell, Eminem, and Slick Rick. Then, on night 3, he brought out Clipse, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jeezy, Fat Joe, Pusha T, Pharrell, Usher, and Jadakiss.

Although last night’s show concluded the trifecta of performances in his hometown, JAY announced shows in Los Angeles, Paris, and London that will take place later this year.
