RXKNephew and RXKZeroTheGod teamed up for a new song titled, “Dear Gucci,” addressed to the iconic rapper, Gucci Mane. The move comes after authorities arrested Pooh Shiesty for allegedly kidnapping Gucci at gunpoint and forcing him to sign papers releasing him from his contract with 1017 Records. 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.

Release Date: April 5, 2026

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics From “Dear Gucci”

Young Dolph would’ve never told

21 Savage Sparks Debate For Bumping Pooh Shiesty Amid Gucci Mane News https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/987630-21-savage-debate-playing-pooh-shiesty Mon, 06 Apr 2026 15:33:58 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=987630 21 Savage's "f*ck the streets" movement is coming back to bite him in the eyes of some people after bumping Pooh Shiesty amid his news.

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.

PayPal Pulls Out Of Wireless Festival Over Kanye West Booking https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/987611-paypal-wireless-festival-kanye-west Mon, 06 Apr 2026 14:52:49 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=987611 Kanye West is set to headline all three days of London's Wireless Festival this July, and some sponsors aren't happy about it.

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.

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.

First in-hand images of the Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” are here. The shoe is dropping in about a month as a women’s exclusive and it looks as good in person as the official looks suggested.

House of Heat reports that the Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” is dropping on May 9th, 2026.

The “Mother’s Day” Jordan 11 Low is not the first time the day has inspired a Jordan release. However, this execution stands out from previous years. The white and gold combination on the Jordan 11 Low silhouette is a natural pairing. It is elegant without trying too hard.

The standout detail is the gold heart pendant hanging from the laces. It reads “My Heart” in script on the face of the charm. That kind of personal, jewelry-inspired accessory on a sneaker is a detail that elevates the entire release.

Jordan Brand has done well with women’s exclusive colorways in recent seasons. The “Mother’s Day” release continues that trend with a shoe that feels considered rather than obligatory. A white leather upper with a gold patent leather mudguard is a combination that works.

In-hand images always tell a more complete story than renders. This pair looks exactly as premium as it should. One month out, anticipation is already building. This is the kind of release that sells through quickly.

Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” Retail Price

The Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” runs in a clean white leather upper with a rich gold patent leather mudguard wrapping the full perimeter. The glossy gold patent catches the light, creating a premium contrast against the bright white mesh and leather above.

White laces thread through the eyelets cleanly. The signature gold heart pendant hangs from the lace toggle, engraved with “My Heart” in elegant script. An icy translucent outsole finishes the shoe underneath, keeping the bottom clean and consistent with the Jordan 11 Low’s classic look.

As a women’s exclusive, this is a refined, occasion-worthy release built for the season. Also the retail price of the Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” is $195.

Kanye West Reportedly Sets New Record With $18 Million SoFi Show https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/987590-kanye-west-record-breaking-sofi-stadium-show Mon, 06 Apr 2026 13:59:24 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=987590 Kanye West believes he shut up a lot of his critics and doubters with these two sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium and he may have a point.

The post Kanye West Reportedly Sets New Record With $18 Million SoFi Show appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Kanye West’s return to the spotlight has been a controversial one given his still fairly recent faults. Whether or not he can sustain this level of trust and attention remains to be seen. But his back-to-back sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium last week are certainly great signs that he’s at least trending in the right direction.

According to Bloomberg, his two performances at the Los Angeles area stadium earned him a whopping $33 million. His show on Friday, April 3, out grossed the first concert by roughly $3 million, grossing over $18 million.

That figure, according to the media company, gives Kanye West one of the highest-grossing single shows in live music history. Other sources like Hip Hop N More are reporting that it’s the best-selling one-off rap concert ever. Additionally, Kurrco reveals that Ye broke some records exclusive to SoFi Stadium on April 3. They include most tickets sold and the highest-grossing show at the venue.

We will have to see just how accurate these statistics are though. The sources Bloomberg heard this from had to decline being identified as the data has yet to be cleared for public release.

But even if the numbers wind up being slightly incorrect down the road, this is still a wild feat. Kanye West said it himself after 80,000 people sang “Heartless” for him on night two: “…They said I’d never be back in the states. Two sold-out concerts.”

Kanye West Bully First Week Sales

Going along with shutting up his doubters, Ye’s Bully is going to debut at number two on the Hot 200. After some minor updates to his first-week numbers, the project’s final tallies are 152,000 total sales, with 56,000 coming from physical copies.

While it was reported earlier that 250K-275K was the expectation, this outcome is still stronger than those for VULTURES 1 and VULTURES 2. The former went number one with 148K units whereas the latter debuted at two with 107K units.

Ye’s Bully is missing out on that top spot too thanks to BTS’s ARIRANG moving around 183,000 copies. But with a deluxe edition supposedly on the way, there’s a chance Bully hangs around near the top of the Hot 200 in the ensuing weeks.

Jay Electronica’s latest concert in Los Angeles became a contentious scene over the weekend, as he traded shots with fans booing from the crowd. According to users on social media, the drama began when Electronica performed his song, “Exhibit C,” but didn’t include Just Blaze’s production.

“The lyrics is what matter,” he says in one video as fans begin to boo. “If you love my sh*t, shut up and listen to the words. Sometimes, n****s will think that they f*ck with me and they don’t. If you f*ck with me, shut the f*ck up and listen to the bars.”

After continuing to try to perform through the boos, he adds: “Whoever boos, we know you’re the enemy, and you’re a coward. If you boo, you’re a coward because you won’t boo in my face.”

At some point later, Electronica appeared to test that belief by going directly into the crowd to confront the disgruntled fans. “I wanna see these booers,” he says in one video while walking out into the sea of fans. “I bet you they won’t stand on business in person. Where these booers at? Boo so I can come to where you’re at. See how they shut the f*ck up? They’re pussy.”

In another clip, he gets right in a fan’s face. “My ancestors came to this land on slaveships,” he began, performing his song, “Abracadabra.” “… So, know Jay Electronica ain’t to be played with. I ain’t letting it slide.” From there, the mic gets cut, and he remarks, “If my mic goes out, you’re next.” After asking the fan to clarify that he came here to see him perform, Electronica remarks that it’s “all love.”

Jay Electronica Tour Dates

Following the appearance in L.A., Electronica has several more shows lined up in the coming months. His next concert is at the Tower Theatre in Oklahoma City on April 20. After that, he’ll travel to Madison, Virginia Beach, Atlanta, and more cities. The performances come after Electronica released several EPs in his A Written Testimony series, last year.

The post 6ix9ine Alleges Keyshia Ka’oir Cheated On Gucci Mane With Yo Gotti appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
It’s been only a few days since 6ix9ine was released from prison, but he’s already back to doing what he does best. Over the weekend, the “GUMMO” performer teamed up with Adin Ross and N3on for a livestream. During the stream, he stirred the pot by making some bold claims about a couple of his industry peers.

“While Gucci Mane was locked up, his wife was being unfaithful to him,” he alleged, as seen in a clip shared by Akademiks TV. “She was f*cking Yo Gotti.”

Rumors that Keyshia Ka’oir cheated on Gucci Mane while he was in prison have been floating around for a while now. Tia Kemp even fueled them on Instagram Live back in 2024. At the time, she was beefing publicly with her ex, Rick Ross, and alleged that she once saw Ka’Oir leave his studio in a white Rolls-Royce.

Did Keyshia Ka’oir Cheat On Gucci Mane?


“Gucci Mane, he f*cked Keyshia Ka’oir while you was in prison,” Kemp alleged. “I seen her pulling out from his studio house in that Rolls-Royce she was driving. It was a white one. This the truth though, allegedly, and it’s the truth. I ain’t gotta lie. Lie detectives pay me. It’s going to be in the book. I don’t give a f*ck. They can’t sue me. I ain’t lying. That girl better go prove to her husband and Rozay that I’m telling the truth. ‘Cause he told me he done f*cked all these n****s h*es.”

Ka’oir was quick to set the record straight, making it clear as day that there’s absolutely zero truth to Kemp’s accusations.

“Ain’t neva had no dealings with Rick Ross PERIOD!” she clarified on her Instagram Story, also taking a quick shot at Kemp. “Keep my name out y’all mix up! Ross & my husband are friends! WTF!!! How dare y’all!… Medication needed.”

For now, Ka’oir, Yo Gotti, and Gucci Mane have not publicly addressed 6ix9ine’s allegations.
