The post 6ix9ine Wants To Hold Going-Away Party For Lil Durk After OTF Jam Mentioned Him In Trial appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Tekashi 6ix9ine and Lil Durk have been beefing for years and years now, a dynamic that is coming to light in a big way thanks to Durk’s murder-for-hire trial. For those unaware, prosecutors’ witness OTF Jam testified against Smurk and even brought up 6ix9ine during the trial, claiming the Chicago artist was frustrated with people like him spreading “slide for [King] Von” narratives.

As caught by No Jumper on Instagram, Tekashi responded to this by flaunting how multiple news sources with multiple alleged biases are referencing Jam’s controversial testminony and his name-dropping. He also mocked Durk’s Muslim faith and “promoted” a new fashion style trolling his alleged “one foot in, one foot out” behavior.

Not only that, but the New York provocateur also announced plans to host a “going-away party” for The Voice. He invited DJ Akademiks to the event during a phone call on Ak’s stream, which Akademiks TV caught on Twitter.

“When this n***a get found guilty, you coming to my party?” Tekashi asked. Akademiks did not seem super conducive to the idea, and we will see where the trolling goes from here.

Lil Durk & 6ix9ine Beef

This conflict between 6ix9ine and Lil Durk has also caused more conversations about snitching. That’s because the former painted the latter’s efforts to shift blame for the murder-for-hire on another person as ratting. But a lot of folks pushed back on this narrative, whether they are just fans, legal experts, or close associates with the case.

Meanwhile, OTF Jam and Lil Durk caught heat over this back-and-forth, with various factions and sides calling both of them snitches. It’s a difficult conversation to have, especially due to the disconnect between legal standards and street codes. But it won’t get any easier to navigate, so the court must focus on the facts of the trial above all else.

We will see if Lil Durk himself or others eventually have any responses to trolling from 6ix9ine and the rest of their opposition. It seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened. Elsewhere, further deliberations in the case will probably hold more divisive explorations of hip-hop media and discourse concerning this situation.

]]> Kendrick Lamar Keeps Promise To Meet Seven-Year-Old Fan Who Lost His Arms https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1007607-kendrick-lamar-meet-seven-year-old-fan-lost-arms Fri, 28 Aug 2026 14:00:32 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1007607 Romell Frazier Jr. lost both his arms in a dog attack, and Kendrick Lamar had given the fan a very special promise on his birthday.

The post Kendrick Lamar Keeps Promise To Meet Seven-Year-Old Fan Who Lost His Arms appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Kendrick Lamar enjoys hip-hop superstardom from a reserved perspective, popping out only on occasion for a new feature or a regular public outing. But he also takes time out of his days to connect with fans, as the story of a seven-year-old fan from Detroit continues to prove. Romell Frazier Jr. lost both his arms due to a dog attack in March, and his family was able to get a connection to K.Dot.

Kendrick Lamar called Romell Frazier Jr. on his seventh birthday earlier this summer. Romell had asked his family if Kendrick could attend his birthday party, and while they just got a call, Lamar did invite Frazier Jr. and his family to visit him in Los Angeles.

“I’m glad you reached out. I’m glad I got to talk to you,” he had told the young fan. “You continue to be great, continue to keep that smile on your face, man. You got a beautiful life to live. You’re giving us a whole lot of inspiration with how strong you are.”

The pgLang creative also spoke to Romell’s mother. “It goes to show how great of a parent you are and the household you got for him,” he expressed. “He had that smile on his face, and he’s just pushing and he’s showing that strength.”

As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, Kendrick Lamar kept his promise. Romell Frazier Jr. and his family made the trip to L.A. and connected with him. Romell’s mother said the weekend was a “core memory” for him, and a clip emerged of Kendrick and others singing him happy birthday.

Kendrick Lamar Meets Fan

Delta Airlines employee Josh Kendrick posted a message on Instagram about this, as it seems he spent time with Romell during his trip. He called the family his “special guests,” thanked Kendrick for his kindness, and had an encouraging message for Romell.

Elsewhere, Lamar just came out with his “How To Pray” feature on Black Boy (Alternative), the new album by Dahi. But there are also conversations about Kendrick Lamar’s old music and beef retrospectives that are causing commotion. Amid all the noise, though, it’s always heartening to hear stories like these.

]]> Young Thug Reveals “Slime Language 3” Will Drop Soon After A “Few Changes” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1007599-young-thug-slime-language-3-drop-soon-after-few-changes Fri, 28 Aug 2026 13:34:59 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1007599 Young Thug and his Young Stoner Life (YSL) collective just dropped a "Slime Language 3" single this week, but where's the album?

The post Young Thug Reveals “Slime Language 3” Will Drop Soon After A “Few Changes” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]> Young Thug used to drop Slime Language compilation projects with his YSL collective before the RICO case caused a lot of group tensions. In a new era alongside artists like Tezzus and diamond*, though, Young Stoner Life is making a comeback via the upcoming album Slime Language 3 following the “Consummate” single. Thugger claimed last night (Thursday, August 27) that it would be dropping today (Friday, August 28), but he took to Twitter with an update after midnight came and went without a release.

“Few changes sorry for the wait,” he wrote earlier today. It’s unclear what these “few changes” could be, whether it’s tracklist placements, featured artists, sample clearances, or a whole host of other options. In any case, it joins other delayed drops in 2026 and also follows tensions between Young Thug and certain YSL affiliates. One of the rising MCs attached to the movement was Nine Vicious, although that is far from the case at this point.

Also, Thug teased two “sides” of this Slime Language 3 drop, indicating it will be a double LP. They will presumably come out at the same time according to the Atlanta artists himself, but maybe that’s part of the changes he referenced.

When Is Young Thug Dropping?

Sadly, Young Thug did not confirm an updated release date for Slime Language 3. There’s a chance it still comes out today, but it doesn’t seem like many fans are confident in that. All in all, we will just have to wait and see if Thug comes through with more updates and information about this process. If he doesn’t, fans will have to hold out for the drop as if it will happen as soon as it’s ready.

Elsewhere, Young Thug is facing some pushback thanks to some divisive advice he gave students in Macon, Georgia during an event. He told them fame was the most important thing, which many folks questioned as a tone-deaf and unrealistic assessment.

But at least Thugger continues to connect with the community and expand his YSL collective’s reach. With all this in mind, Slime Language 3 could go beyond just being a new era label compilation.
