LeBron James has barely started his first season in Philadelphia, and Nike is already giving him Sixers colors. Two new LeBron 24 colorways surfaced at Nike Basketball’s Chosen 2ONE3 pop-up.

The pop-up is in Philadelphia’s Fashion District. It celebrates LeBron’s career, with a focus on the years he wore No. 23 and No. 6.

Among the displays were two LeBron 24 pairs. One is all red, and the other is all blue. Both look flooded in a single color, which matches the Sixers’ uniforms.

Overall, the idea is simple but effective. A one-color shoe is easy to match with a uniform, and it makes the details stand out. Nike has not shared any release information.

The shoe itself is the LeBron 24, which Nike has been pushing as LeBron’s lightest signature model so far. It uses a new KingKnit upper meant to give a locked-in feel without much weight.

LeBron joined the Sixers this offseason and is playing alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown. It is a stacked roster, so all eyes are on what he wears. Overall for now, these two pairs have only been seen at the pop-up. That said, fans are already hoping they get a wider release.

Nike LeBron 24

Another Sixers-friendly pair is already confirmed. The Nike LeBron 24 “Stars” has a full blue upper, black interiors, and icy soles. S LeBron wore a different “Opening Night” PE in his Sixers debut. Philadelphia opened the season with a win, so the start was a good one.

We also covered his Nike LeBron 24 “Greater China” earlier this month, which debuted at the open scrimmage.

Taken together, Nike is clearly setting up a big first year in Philadelphia. The LeBron 24 is getting a mix of regional pairs, team colors, and PEs. There’s no question that LeBron’s years playing are coming to a close, so we could see some of the greatest colorways ever soon.

Pi’erre Bourne is one of the best producers of his generation. He has delivered a plethora of hits over the years, and there is no denying that his talent is immense. While he is mostly known for his production, he has a successful solo career, especially as he has helped perfect the sound of PluggnB. His Made In Paris Deluxe added six new songs, including “French Kiss,” which has become an early standout. This is all thanks to the melodic, warm tones of the track. Meanwhile, Pi’erre Bourne does his thing with the vocals.

Release Date: October 16, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Made In Paris Deluxe

Quotable Lyrics from French Kiss

Ayy, I grab her hair like I’m makin’ a bun (Makin’ a bun)
French kiss, she like to play with her tongue (Play with her tongue)
Diamonds shine, they bathe in the sun (Bathe in the sun)

Travis Scott Just Dropped Big Money On Four Classic Cars https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013955-travis-scotts-four-new-vintage-cars-music-news Wed, 21 Oct 2026 18:38:42 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013955 Travis Scott reportedly flew to a car museum in Illinois and bought four classic cars, including a rare Lamborghini and a 1957 Ford.

Travis Scott just went shopping at a car museum, and he did not leave empty-handed. The rapper reportedly bought four classic cars during a visit to the Volo Museum in Illinois.

The museum shared the news on Tuesday, October 20th, with a photo of Travis. It said he flew in on a private jet, toured the building, and picked out the cars. The post was deleted later.

The museum also praised him for being humble and kind to the staff. It said he hopes to bring his family back for another visit.

Local reports list the four purchases. They are a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary, a 1955 Chevrolet 150 Sedan Delivery, a 1957 Ford Fairlane, and a 1954 Chevrolet 3100.

Overall, it is a very interesting mix. One car is a rare supercar, and the other three are classic American models from the 1950s.

The price was not shared. Volo did not say how much Travis spent, we can only imagine the price tag of 4 vintage cars like these was extraordinarily high.

Volo is not a normal car dealer. The Illinois museum has been run by the Grams family since 1960, and many of its cars are for sale. That makes it a perfect stop for a collector like Travis.

Travis Scott’s 4 Vintage Car Purchases

Travis has never hidden his love for cars. His collection has included a Bugatti Chiron, a Ferrari LaFerrari, and several Lamborghinis. These new purchases take him in a different direction. Instead of modern hypercars, he picked pieces of automotive history.

The Lamborghini Countach is the clear standout. The 25th Anniversary edition was a special model made near the end of the car’s long run. The Chevrolet and Ford models are also interesting. Cars from the 1950s have a very different style from the supercars he usually posts.

Overall, Travis is flexing on everyone else. 4 cars in one trip is definitely extravagant. It will be interesting to see what he does with them, and maybe they will show up in a music video.

Jimmy Fallon Takes Aim At JÄY-Z’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Decision During Opening Monologue https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013951-jimmy-fallon-jay-z-super-bowl-halftime-show Wed, 21 Oct 2026 18:32:18 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013951 With JÄY-Z set to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, late night hosts like Jimmy Fallon are getting their licks in.

]]>
JÄY-Z’s decision to appoint himself as the Super Bowl Halftime Show performer for next year has certainly caused a stir online. While the NFL has yet to confirm this decision, sources close to the situation are claiming that it is, indeed, true.

The reactions have been strong, and there are many out there who feel like this is all self-serving. There are plenty of others who actually like the move. After all, JÄY-Z is a legend, and he has plenty of hits to go around. Furthermore, he has some blockbuster collaborators who could help him during the set.

Unfortunately, Jimmy Fallon’s latest monologue may have just clued us all in to how the general public feels. Those who watch late-night television are also the same people who watch the Super Bowl en masse. When Fallon mentioned JÄY-Z’s decision during his opening monologue on The Tonight Show, there were laughs and groans in the crowd.

Fallon then went on to make JÄY-Z the butt of the joke, stating that he probably had a short conversation with himself.

JÄY-Z Roasted On The Tonight Show

This is perhaps the most damning reaction to the JÄY-Z news. While there are plenty of haters on X who make their voices heard, oftentimes, those folks don’t matter. They are simply hating just for the sake of getting likes on social media.

However, when the late-night audience is laughing at you, then there is certainly something wrong. One could make the argument that this isn’t a hip-hop audience and therefore, they don’t know any better. While this is certainly true, the Super Bowl Halftime Show is supposed to appeal to as many people as possible.

If the people at home watching don’t know the songs, and are already going in with a closed mind, then the NFL could be in trouble.

TT Torrez Accuses Funk Flex Of Shoving Her During Madison Square Garden Fight https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013947-funk-flex-tt-torrez-madison-square-garden Wed, 21 Oct 2026 18:03:34 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013947 TT Torrez is making serious allegations against Funk Flex as she claims she was shoved violently by her former Hot 97 co-worker.

The post TT Torrez Accuses Funk Flex Of Shoving Her During Madison Square Garden Fight appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Earlier this morning, we reported on Funk Flex’s recent fight at Madison Square Garden. He was at MSG to watch the Knicks take on the Philadelphia 76ers in their first game of the season.

However, things devolved into a brawl involving music executive Shadow Stokes. Funk Flex took to social media with numerous clips from the fight and alleged that Stokes was trying to get a payout.

Now, former Hot 97 host TT Torrez is getting involved. Her reps told TMZ that she and her husband were the alleged victims of Funk Flex’s aggression. She also claims that she was violently shoved by the Hot 97 mainstay.

“What was meant to be an enjoyable evening out for Mrs. Torrez and her husband became a deeply disturbing and traumatic experience. A verbal exchange between her husband and Funkmaster Flex escalated into a physical confrontation in which Funkmaster Flex shoved her violently,” Torrez’s representative said.

Her reps also went on to say that her husband was simply defending Torrez, and that is why the altercation went down.

 “The brief video circulating online does not tell the full story. What the public saw was a husband defending his wife,” the reps added. They also went on to say that Torrez has “endured years of ongoing harassment, intimidation, and bullying by her former colleague.”

For many, this is the first time they are hearing of issues between Funk Flex and TT Torrez. However, as her legal reps explained, they “instead addressed these matters professionally and through the appropriate legal channels. That process ultimately resulted in a settlement with Mediaco Hot97 and a non-disparagement agreement, which Funkmaster Flex has continued to violate.”

This remains a developing story. Funk Flex has yet to respond.

Chris Brown’s Producer Sues Sony In $1.25M Royalty Dispute Over “Party” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013944-chris-brown-party-producer-lawsuit Wed, 21 Oct 2026 17:24:03 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013944 Chris Brown is not being sued.

Chris Brown’s been in the news a lot lately, and it hasn’t been for good reason, between issues surrounding custody and the continued legal battle with his ex-housekeeper. Now, one of his hit singles is at the center of a new lawsuit but he has nothing to actually do it with it.

Sony is facing a new lawsuit over Chris Brown’s hit song, “Party,” because the song’s producer claims that they only paid him half the rate he was owed.

On October 16th, ISM, real name Ishmael Sadiq Montague, filed the lawsuit against Sony in New York federal court. He claims that he struck a deal with Chris Brown Entertainment that would give him 1.5% royalty on the song, which also features Gucci Mane and Usher. He said that the agreed percentage is after his split with A1, but Sony hasn’t honored the agreement. Instead, he claims that Sony paid him out at a rate of .75%.

Unfortunately, the discrepancy barely scratches the surface of Sony’s alleged misconduct. He said his records were reviewed in July, then he brought the issue to Sony in August, which noted that he only received half the pay he was supposed to receive. Moreover, he said he struck a deal with Xposure Music Holdings in June to sell his royalty interests, and that deal required Sony to send those payments to Xposure after September 1st. Still, he alleged Sony didn’t honor the change in payees for six weeks.

Chris Brown’s “Party” Lawsuit

The allegations also focus on certain parts of the terms of their agreement, including that Sony requested that he sign a form claiming that the payee didn’t have a right to audit Sony, describing it as fixed rules, though ISM alleges that Sony already had a form that didn’t include that particular term.

ISM also alleges that Sony initially told him that there was no account of his share, only to confirm that they were accounting for “Party.” He also pointed to statements from Sony over the years that indicated that there was a paper trail the whole time.

“On August 29, 2026, plaintiff executed the form Sony produced. The executed instrument contains no release, no waiver, and no acknowledgment of any account,” the complaint stated.

ISM is seeking $1,247,500 and punitive damages, along with any unpaid funds that haven’t been accounted for yet.

Wiz Khalifa Gets Another Chance At Battling Romanian Prison Sentence https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013941-wiz-khalifa-romania-prison-sentence-appeal Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:39:31 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013941 Wiz Khalifa is challenging his nine month prison sentence for weed possession in Romania.

Wiz Khalifa’s legal problems overseas might see a resolution in the near future. According to All Hip Hop, he now has a new hearing set for October 29th for his weed conviction. However, only one part of his bid was accepted by the Romanian court.

The main part that Wiz’s team argued was that the court failed to follow the proper protocol surrounding the guilty verdict for smoking weed on stage in the country. 

Per the case record, which uses T.C.J to refer to Wiz’s real name, “Pursuant to Article 431 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, in conjunction with Article 426(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, [the court] admits, in principle, the annulment challenge filed by T.C.J. against criminal decision No. 1222/P of December 18, 2025, issued by the Constanta Court of Appeal in case No. 7777/118/2024.”

Wiz Khalifa’s Romania Case

What this means is that the court accepted Wiz’s claims that he wasn’t told of the court date properly. That allows him to bring this claim, even if he wasn’t there or could provide an explanation why. It should be noted that the court hasn’t agreed that this occurred, but it does allow Wiz’s attorney to present their argument in court. “Pursuant to Article 432(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, [the court] sets a hearing for the annulment challenge on October 29, 2026, at 1 P.M., for which the defendant’s chosen lawyer shall be notified,” the notice adds. 

While Wiz initially received a 3,600 lei fine, the state wanted him to be behind bars, and he was eventually sentenced to nine months in prison after being found guilty of possessing weed for personal use.

We will keep you posted on any further updates.

DJ Akademiks Taunts Meek Mill & Tylil After Going To Knicks Game Without Security https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013933-dj-akademiks-meek-mill-tylil-knicks Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:02:49 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013933 DJ Akademiks found himself at the New York Knicks' home opener, and he used this as an opportunity to go at his biggest rivals.

DJ Akademiks has angered quite a few people during his time as one of rap’s biggest commentators. For instance, he has ongoing feuds with the likes of Meek Mill and even Tylil.

His beef with Meek has been ongoing for a decade. Meanwhile, his Tylil feud allegedly started last year when he claims the streamer tried to have him jumped by his security while out clubbing in New York.

On Tuesday night, Akademiks found himself antagonizing Meek and Tylil. In multiple videos posted to social media, Ak bragged about going to the New York Knicks’ season opener at Madison Square Garden without security. He says no one came up to him, and that he was left alone all evening.

He then went on to say that the seats behind him were going for upwards of $30,000. Therefore, he believes this is just proof that Meek Mill and Tylil are broke.

DJ Akademiks Uses The 6ix9ine Method Of Trolling

One has to wonder whether or not Meek would have gone to this game anyway. Of course, his Philadelphia 76ers were playing. Although we imagine he will be attending the games in Philadelphia. He typically sits courtside, and usually alongside Michael Rubin.

As for Tylil, well, he has not responded to Akademiks. Ultimately, their feud seems like something that could be resolved with a phone call. However, Akademiks is much more eager to taunt on social media and flex his position as one of rap journalism’s most wealthy creators.

Whatever the case may be, Akademiks is well aware of how to get a reaction out of people, by any means necessary.

Houshmandzadeh was on Speakeasy where he offered up his take on the Jay-Z Super Bowl news.

]]>
With reports of JÄY-Z performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show circulating this week, there have been plenty of strong reactions. Some fans are excited that the artist will finally get to be on the biggest stage. Meanwhile, detractors aren’t so sure that Hov is the right artist for this kind of look.

One of those people is former NFL wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who made a name for himself with the Cincinnati Bengals. During a recent episode of Speakeasy, Houshmandzadeh went off on JÄY-Z, claiming that no one wants to see this.

He said that while he enjoys Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint, he has absolutely no interest in watching Hov perform a full 20-minute set at the Super Bowl. He also pointed out that the Super Bowl will be in Los Angeles, and that JÄY-Z should have figured out a way to bring in someone closer to the community.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh Doesn’t Want To See JÄY-Z

Houshmandzadeh also believes a set involving a plethora of international artists could have been the perfect move as well. While he will bop his head to some of Hov’s most iconic hits, he won’t be excited for the rest of it.

It is expected that JÄY-Z brings out the likes of Alicia Keys and Beyoncé. However, this may not be enough to sway public opinion. Ultimately, they’ve already performed at the Super Bowl, and there is a large contingent of NFL fans who simply want something new.

At this time, JÄY-Z and the NFL have yet to confirm the reports from this week. It remains to be seen whether or not the backlash will spark a last-minute internal change.

The post Pooh Shiesty Accused Of Ingesting Fentanyl As Feds Challenge Jail Conditions Claims appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Federal prosecutors are clamping down on Pooh Shiesty after his attorneys made a request for better jail conditions. The rapper recently claimed that he’s being held for 23 hours in his cell alone with only two hours of visits every month at Rolling Plains Regional Jail in Haskell, Texas. 

According to Complex, prosecutors want the judge to deny his request for better conditions behind bars on grounds that they believe it’s necessary to keep Pooh protected and to ensure order at the facility. They specifically claimed that he’s already created safety concerns in the past, such as corrupting monitors at a halfway house. Prosecutors also allege that three inmates tried to break into his location for autographs and that the All Eyes On Shiest artist admitted that he recently took fentanyl during a court hearing.

As far as the inhumane conditions, prosecutors said that he’s had significant access to the outside world because he has a tablet that he uses to stream content, make video calls, play games, and send emails. The filing alleges that he’s made more than 45 hours’ worth of communication over the course of 231 video calls. Moreover, they claim he has access to thousands of emails.

Pooh Shiesty’s Attorney Response To Prosecutors

More directly, they also brought up other rulings in court that allow prison officials the authority to manage their facilities, one of which states, “prison officials have broad administrative and discretionary authority over the institutions they manage.” It also points to another ruling that states, “administrative segregation is the sort of confinement that inmates should reasonably anticipate receiving at some point in their incarceration.”

Pooh Shiesty’s attorney said that the conditions are too harsh, especially since Pooh Shiesty hasn’t been convicted. “He is locked down 23 hours per day and has no contact with anyone other than staff,” Schaffer told Complex. “If by some stretch of the imagination it’s true, then they need to take a close look at their staff and their ability to run a jail.”

We will keep you posted on any further updates.
