Daphne Joy has been making the rounds as of late after her sex tape with Diddy was leaked to the public. Originally, Joy put out a statement saying the tape was filmed without consent. However, she subsequently deleted that statement before going on a media tour of sorts.

She has done interviews with the likes of DJ Akademiks, and more recently, she was on the podcast, Pillow Talk. This is a show known for interviewing adult entertainers and anyone adjacent to the industry.

During this recent appearance on Pillow Talk, Daphne Joy spoke about the kinds of men she is attracted to. When the host suggested that women don’t like “simps,” Joy revealed that she is the opposite. She notes that she loves men who worship her. In fact, she doesn’t mind men who are submissive in the bedroom.

Daphne Joy Says She Loves Simps

“I love obsessive, worshipping energy,” Joy said. “It turns me on, for sure. Like kneel and like kiss my toes. Maybe be on a leash. It’s fine.”

Some are going to find these recent media appearances to be quite cynical. Given everything that has happened over the past few weeks, it’s hard not to feel that way. Although Joy is certainly free to operate however she wants.

Given the leaked tape, there are various media outlets that want to speak with her, so it only makes sense that she would explore those opportunities. At this time, it is still unknown who leaked the tape. Some believe it was the other individual in the tape, or perhaps a hacker. More cynical onlookers believe Joy did it, although there is no evidence for this.

Either way, it does seem as though Joy will continue to be on these shows as long as hosts keep inviting her.

Sauce Walka Pops Off On Ray J And Adrien Broner During Tense Live Stream https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999715-sauce-walka-ray-j-adrien-broner-stream Wed, 24 Jun 2026 19:17:10 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999715 Ray J and Adrien Broner have been streaming together as of late, although it hasn't always worked out for all parties involved.

If you have been paying attention to the streaming world as of late, then you are well aware that Adrien Broner has become a sensation, for all the wrong reasons. Most of the time, he streams with DeenTheGreat. Although lately he has been streaming with Ray J.

These streams are typically held inside a home somewhere, with friends and other girls being invited for some hijinks. Oftentimes, Broner can be seen making the women feel uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Ray J tries to keep Broner from doing something truly stupid and regrettable.

On Tuesday evening, Ray J and Broner were hosting Sauce Walka, who has indulged in some of antics of his own as of late. For instance, he recently found himself in the midst of a controversy with Drake.

That said, Sauce Walka was not impressed with some sneak dissing that was going on. Ray J and Broner were making some shady comments, and this caused Sauce Walka to unleash.

Sauce Walka Is Tired

In the clip above, you can see Sauce Walka begin to question Broner and Ray J. He also interacts with the chat, looking for answers about what has been said about him. It was a tense moment, and yet another clip that Broner has gone somewhat viral for.

As previously mentioned, Broner will need to be careful with his streaming antics. In fact, he needs to be careful in general. His behavior has oftentimes been erratic. Furthermore, the way he continuously persists when rejected by women is concerning, to say the least.

There aren’t too many people around him to tell him to stop. The need for content has become the priority, and that typically never ends well.

Sophie Brussaux’s Wedding Footage Surfaces Online And Drake Is Nowhere To Be Found https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999712-sophie-brussaux-wedding-no-drake Wed, 24 Jun 2026 18:16:09 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999712 Sophie Brussaux officially married Efe Caliskan over the weekend, while Drake was away in Houston for Father's Day.

The post Sophie Brussaux’s Wedding Footage Surfaces Online And Drake Is Nowhere To Be Found appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Drake and Sophie Brussaux famously had a child together eight years ago, Adonis Graham. Brussaux and Adonis were one of the subjects of Pusha T’s Drake diss, “Story of Adidon.” Since that time, Drake and Brussaux have co-parented their child in the public eye and have remained cordial throughout.

That said, Brussaux has since moved on romantically. Just a few weeks ago, we reported that she would be marrying Efe Caliskan. The man is 26 years old, 10 years younger than Brussaux. He is a Turkish-Canadian Muay Thai fighter, and the two were set to be married in Canada.

Well, the wedding went down on Sunday on Father’s Day, and the footage has since made its way to social media. DJ Vlad even posted some of it on his X account. As you will see, it was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding. The bride and groom looked happy, and that is really all that matters.

Sophie Brussaux Marries Efe Caliskan

Meanwhile, many remarked that Drake was not in attendance. Of course, he didn’t really need to be. After all, he and Brussaux are no longer together, and he has other things to attend to.

In fact, on Sunday, he was in Houston, celebrating Father’s Day with Dennis Graham. The following day, he was spotted in the club partying with Chubbs and even Bun B. Ultimately, he seems to have been having a good weekend, regardless.

This puts an end to one of the chapters between Drake and Brussaux. However, they will still be co-parenting Adonis, who continues to be a major part of Drake’s rollouts.

We wish Brussaux all the best with her marriage.

XXL Officially Unveils Their 2026 Freshman List https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999709-2026-xxl-freshman-list-revealed Wed, 24 Jun 2026 17:33:58 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999709 Iconic hip-hop magazine XXL has officially revealed its Freshman List for 2026, and it includes some massive up-and-comers.

The post XXL Officially Unveils Their 2026 Freshman List appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Every single year, XXL comes out with its Freshman List. Since the inception of the list, the inclusions and exclusions have always been heavily debated. Those who aren’t tapped into the underground are oftentimes left confused by the list. Furthermore, the reduction in cyphers and overall lack of lyrical rappers has led to some increased scrutiny.

That will certainly be the case again this year, as XXL has just unveiled the 2026 version of its Freshman List. If you are in the know, then the vast majority of the names here should be familiar. On the underground hyperpop side, you have artists like Slayr. Meanwhile, viral sensations like Skrilla are here as well.

Fans will also recognize names like Trim, YKNIECE, Belly Gang Kushington, Hurricane Wisdom, Chris Patrick, and Babyfxce E. A couple of artists with Kendrick Lamar and TDE co-signs, like La Reezy and Trap Dickey, were able to make the list as well. Sosocamo deservingly made the list, as did Miles Minnick, voted in 10th spot.

XXL Freshman List Announced

This year’s list:

  • YKNIECE
  • Slayr
  • Sosocamo
  • Belly Gang Kushington
  • Trim
  • Miles Minnick
  • Skrilla
  • Hurricane Wisdom
  • La Reezy
  • Trap Dickey
  • Chris Patrick
  • Babyfxce E

Over the coming days and weeks, XXL will likely release any of the freestyles and cyphers that they decide to do. Given the music some of these artists make, we imagine some of them will be skipping the freestyle process.

Regardless, there is no denying that this list is indicative of the current hip-hop landscape. There are various movements recognized here, and even if you don’t know these artists, that’s what the list is there for. To introduce fans to new music and artists who deserve your ear.

Keefe D Hits Yet Another Roadblock Ahead Of Tupac Murder Trial https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999704-keefe-d-tupac-murder-trial-roadblocl Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:57:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999704 Keefe D is set to face trial in the murder of Tupac on August 10, but his defense team is starting to get frustrated.

The post Keefe D Hits Yet Another Roadblock Ahead Of Tupac Murder Trial appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Keefe D has been having a rough go of things ever since 2023, when he was arrested and placed in jail for allegedly orchestrating the murder of Tupac. Now, the man wants to make sure some of his testimonies are kept out of evidence.

For instance, Keefe D claims he had an agreement with the LAPD that any statements made during police interviews would be exempt from the record. He also believes this extends to his book, Compton Street Legend. His defense is working hard to make sure these exhibits are kept out of trial evidence.

However, the prosecution is fighting hard to make sure that the book and police interviews can, in fact, be used. According to Fox 5, the prosecution argues that Keefe D’s book actually voided the previous LAPD agreement. If the book and interviews are used during the trial, his chances of winning become slim, and the defense knows it.

Meanwhile, Keefe D’s defense is claiming that the prosecution is actively trying to sabotage them. During Tuesday’s hearing, they accused the prosecution of filing 4000 pages worth of documents about the death of Biggie Smalls. The prosecution believes both cases are connected, but the defense says it doesn’t have time to respond to the documents.

Keefe D will be back in court on June 30, where he could find out whether or not these exhibits will be exempt from the record. If you may recall, his book was the catalyst for the initial investigation and subsequent arrest.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Takeoff’s Parents Fight Over Who Should Receive Wrongful Death Settlement Money https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999699-takeoff-parents-fight-settlement-money Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:22:09 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999699 Takeoff's mom, Titania Davenport, won a wrongful death lawsuit in Texas, and now, the rapper's father wants a piece of the pie.

The post Takeoff’s Parents Fight Over Who Should Receive Wrongful Death Settlement Money appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

An unfortunate legal battle has been ignited between Takeoff’s parents, Titania Davenport and Kenneth Ball. The legal battle stems from a wrongful death lawsuit that Davenport filed in the state of Texas following her son’s death.

Davenport won the wrongful death lawsuit, and now, Ball is claiming that he is entitled to half of the money, according to TMZ. The settlement amount is not known, although Davenport argues that Ball should not receive the same amount as her.

Ball is trying to have this dispute play out in Texas, while Davenport hopes to move the case to Georgia. At press time, the judge has yet to make a decision. What we do know, however, is that Davenport argues Ball was not in Takeoff’s life, and therefore shouldn’t receive an equal share of the settlement.

Davenport says Ball offered “negligible financial support and effectively no emotional support to his son.” Furthermore, Davenport says she was a single parent to Takeoff and was the one who supported him financially and emotionally as he pursued a music career.

Ball does not believe his absence should matter, and that half of the money should be coming to him regardless. Ultimately, it is a difficult case, and one that will have to be figured out in the months to come.

Meanwhile, Patrick Xavier Clark, the man charged with killing Takeoff, is set to go on trial later this year.

This remains a developing story.

Gunna Hilariously Ignores Clavicular During Paris Fashion Week https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999696-gunna-ignores-clavicular-paris-fashion-week Wed, 24 Jun 2026 14:48:04 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999696 Gunna was at Paris Fashion Week, and was eventually spotted by streamer Clavicular, who got ignored in hilarious fashion.

The post Gunna Hilariously Ignores Clavicular During Paris Fashion Week appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Gunna has become a mainstay at Paris Fashion Week over the years, and it is easy to see why. When the artist first burst onto the scene, he was praised for his lyrics about fashion. Although his outfits were oftentimes made fun of, he continued to rap about one of his biggest interests.

This year, Gunna was back at Paris Fashion Week, as Pharrell looked to showcase Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection. Presumably, he was also there to take in some of the other shows that were going on.

As it turns out, the rapper was caught on Clavicular’s live stream. The infamous looksmaxxer was in Paris to walk the runway. Of course, he brought a streaming crew along for the ride, and that is when they spotted Gunna with his entourage.

Despite trying to get the artist’s attention, Gunna seemingly had no interest in the streamer. This led to a tense moment in which Clavicular was trying to hold in his frustration.

Gunna Had No Interest in Clavicular

It is easy to see why Gunna might want no parts of a Clavicular live stream. As some of you already know, the streamer is incredibly controversial. From playing Ye’s “Heil Hitler” at the club to encouraging the youth to get cosmetic surgeries, Clav isn’t exactly a brand-friendly individual. Furthermore, he is yet another white influencer who has some racism allegations.

The mere fact that a streamer of his magnitude is being invited to Paris Fashion Week is reason to give us some pause. What kind of message is being sent by doing such a thing? Perhaps it is a sign of the times, and an indication that controversy is the only thing that sells these days.

Masego has become a mainstay in the world of R&B and Soul. Fans are always looking forward to new music, and recently, he delivered with his new single, “Breathe.” This is a gorgeous track that showcases Masego’s phenomenal singing ability. He engages in some interesting tropes throughout the song, and even offers an interpolation of Ne-Yo’s “Closer” on the post-chorus. It’s a catchy track bolstered by a layered instrumental that complements the singer’s voice. Hopefully, an album is on the horizon.

Release Date: June 19, 2026

Genre: R&B, Soul

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Breathe

Don’t make an ass of yourself, just be without assumptions
We can be above service, skip to the meat, ask questions
I ain’t got no book for you to read, film for you to see
Way beneath the scars, I got more heart than you beliеve

Joe Budden Shares Very Little Sympathy For Foolio’s Killers https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999686-joe-budden-no-sympathy-foolio-killers Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:45:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999686 During a conversation about Foolio's killers on "The Joe Budden Podcast," Budden showcased his true thoughts on the situation.

The post Joe Budden Shares Very Little Sympathy For Foolio’s Killers appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Joe Budden Podcast has never shied away from difficult conversations. Oftentimes, these conversations focus on a specific story or situation before ultimately becoming a discourse about society at large.

That was certainly the case this week, as the cast had an in-depth conversation about the four men who killed Foolio. As we reported earlier in the week, Sean Gathright, Isaiah Chance, Rashad Murphy, and Davion Murphy all received life sentences with no chance at parole.

Gathright had an emotional plea to the courtroom, explaining how he’s saddened by what has become of his life. He feels as though it is heartbreaking that someone who can’t even buy liquor could be locked up for life. He even told his friends back home that violence is not the answer, and to change before it’s too late.

This subsequently led Ice and Ish to discuss how some of these individuals were probably good kids before getting wrapped up with the wrong crowd. Joe Budden vehemently disagreed with this assessment.

Joe Budden Gives His Take

Budden doesn’t believe anyone who could travel from one city to another just to kill someone could ever have been classified as a good kid. This subsequently led to a discussion about King Von and whether he was ever a good kid. Budden was adamant that this was a stupid conversation to have.

Meanwhile, Ish and Ice took a more empathetic approach, saying that no one on the cast actually knows these kids or what is in their hearts. They noted that the environment can play a big role in these kinds of things and were sympathetic about the situation.

Ultimately, Budden was unmoved by what he was hearing. While castmates like Marc Lamont Hill prefer a rehabilitative approach to incarceration, Budden doesn’t seem to be fully on board.

Pharrell has been putting the work in with Louis Vuitton, and that work has certainly been paying off. With each new collection, fashion enthusiasts agree that the artist is growing into the role and flexing his creative muscles in the process.

The legendary artist was able to showcase his craft on Tuesday for Paris Fashion Week. Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection was officially shown off, and it was a dazzling success.

That said, the show is going viral for reasons that go well beyond the scope of just fashion. During these shows, Pharrell typically soundtracks them with some new music. That is exactly what he did this time around, and there were three songs, in particular, that piqued the interest of hip-hop fans.

Below, you will hear snippets from new songs that feature the likes of Lil Baby, Quavo, and even NBA YoungBoy.

Pharrell Showcases New Songs

One has to wonder if this means Pharrell is looking to drop an album anytime soon. Of course, he had a huge hand in Let God Sort Em Out, Clipse’s epic comeback record. It feels as though Pharrell still has plenty of creative juices left in the tank, which could very well lead to a new project sometime in the near future.

However, a job at Louis Vuitton is a full-time gig, and it’s expected that the artist’s time would be focused on matters outside of music, as unfortunate as that is.

Either way, these snippets will be a great way for fans to connect with Pharrell’s current musical oeuvre. Hopefully, he finds the time to drop something, as hip-hop would certainly appreciate a Pharrell album in 2026.
