Surviving the crash was only the beginning for Gloss Up. From her hospital bed, the Memphis rapper is now sharing what she remembers about the accident that left her with a severe foot injury, including the terrifying ambulance ride where she repeatedly questioned whether part of her leg was gone.

Gloss said she was driving on the expressway around 3 a.m. when she saw a black car spin out before she struck another vehicle that wasn’t moving. She maintained that she wasn’t speeding, but the impact left her foot nearly torn off. Once inside the ambulance, fear set in as she tried to understand the extent of her injuries. Gloss recalled repeatedly asking paramedics if her leg was gone. She also said she paid close attention to their worried expressions as she waited to learn whether doctors could save her foot.

Gloss Up Explains Saying Her Foot Was Amputated

The severity of the injury initially created confusion online. Gloss first told followers that her foot had been amputated while posting from the hospital. However, her management later clarified that she was heavily medicated and mistakenly believed the procedure had already happened. At the time, doctors were still working to save her foot. Her team later confirmed that the surgery was successful and shared graphic photos to show the severity of her injuries, explaining that amputation had been a very real possibility.

Recovery will take time, but Gloss is already thinking about life beyond her hospital room. She said her focus remains on healing and being there for her family after an accident that could have ended very differently. Gloss even said she still intends to complete her upcoming birthday photoshoot, joking that she may have to make it happen from the hospital. For now, she’s taking recovery as it comes while giving fans a clearer account of the frightening hours that led to her emergency surgery.

Nike Atelier Unveils New Collection With Victor Wembanyama https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002068-nike-atelier-victor-wembanyama-streetwear-news Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:39:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002068 The Nike Atelier Total 90, made for Victor Wembanyama, mixes soccer heritage with French team detailing ahead of its July 20th preorder.

The post Nike Atelier Unveils New Collection With Victor Wembanyama appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Nike Atelier has released its second collection built around a French athlete this year. This time, the brand teamed up with NBA star Victor Wembanyama. The collection includes a jacket, a rugby-style shirt, and an extra-long pair of pants.

Each piece draws on French National Team imagery, tying into World Cup anticipation. Wembanyama, who plays for the San Antonio Spurs, stands at staggering 7 feet 4 inches tall. He needs custom-tailored clothing because standard sizing rarely fits him.

The signature piece in this collection is a soccer boot called the Total 90. Nike based the design on the original Total 90 Laser III from the 2000s. That earlier boot was worn by players like Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres.

Wembanyama’s version comes in off-white leather with a folded tongue and clean detailing. A Nike Atelier logo replaces the usual soccer boot branding. Pre-orders for the Total 90 open on July 20th. Nike has not confirmed whether the shoe works as a lifestyle sneaker or a true soccer boot.

Wembanyama said his lifestyle shapes his approach to clothing. He also said comfort matters most to him. The collection reflects Nike’s growing use of the Atelier platform for individual athletes. It also shows how Wembanyama’s global profile continues to expand off the basketball court.

Nike Atelier built this project around Wembanyama’s unusual proportions and international profile. The French national team imagery appears on the jacket, shirt, and boot detailing.

Nike Atelier previously worked with Desire Doué on a Mercurial-based collection using similar premium materials. Wembanyama’s Total 90 boot keeps the silhouette recognizable while simplifying the paneling found on the original.

The leather upper stays monotone, avoiding the busy colorways common in past releases. Early photos show soccer studs on the outsole, suggesting Nike may position this as functional footwear. Still, the polished finish and Atelier branding also fit a lifestyle audience. Wembanyama’s involvement continues Nike’s pattern of using individual athletes to expand smaller, high-end product lines.

New in-hand photos of the Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” are out now. The images come from sneaker account @THEREALJTSG on social media. They show the shoe up close ahead of its September release.

Black leather covers the entire upper, including the side panels. That base has stayed consistent across every version of this colorway. Chrome hardware sits on the midfoot straps for contrast.

Further, the silver detailing gives the shoe its “Chrome” name overall. The outsole carries grey and silver tones with a Jumpman print. Grey chenille branding appears on the tongue, matching past releases closely.

A “23” mark shows up stitched onto the heel area. This colorway first released back in 2003, well after the shoe’s debut. It later returned once in 2015, then disappeared for over a decade. Now it’s coming back for a third time this fall.

The Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” releases September 12th through Nike and select retailers. These new photos give fans their clearest look yet. They confirm the retro is staying close to past versions. For a shoe with this kind of history, that consistency matters most.

Air Jordan 8 “Chrome”

The Air Jordan 8 originally debuted back in 1993, during Michael Jordan’s third title run. The “Chrome” colorway wasn’t part of that original lineup though. It arrived a decade later as one of the first non-OG Air Jordan 8s. That early 2000s release helped introduce the model to new fans.

Kobe Bryant even wore the shoe during his 2003 playoff run. Its black-and-silver look set it apart from louder Jordan releases at the time. The design leans on the same crisscross straps found across the model.

Chrome buckles and midsole trim give the shoe its signature finish. After sitting dormant since 2015, the colorway is finally returning again. These new photos suggest Jordan Brand kept the formula largely unchanged.

Overall, this pair is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2026. Stay tuned for official images and more details closer to the release date.

Yung Miami Pulls Out Of Bossman Dlow’s Motion Party Tour https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002059-yung-miami-bossman-dlow-motion-party-tour Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:03:29 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002059 Bossman Dlow made the announcement today (July 14), promising fans that he'll have an update about rescheduled dates soon.

A summer run built around motion has hit an unexpected stop. BossMan Dlow announced that his Motion Party Tour is being put on pause following what he described as a “last-minute departure by Yung Miami,” leaving fans with questions about the remaining dates and the reasons for the sudden change.

“Due to an unexpected, last-minute departure by Yung Miami, we are postponing The Motion Party Tour,” Dlow wrote on Instagram. “We will share updates regarding rescheduled dates as soon as possible.”

The 25-city tour was scheduled to run from July 16 through Aug. 29, bringing Dlow and Yung Miami to cities across the country, with Bally Baby also attached to the trek. The pairing made sense for two Florida artists enjoying very different moments in their careers. BossMan Dlow has continued riding the momentum of his mainstream breakthrough, while Miami entered the summer with the highest-charting solo Hot 100 hit of her career.

Yung Miami Has Been Riding High On “Spend Dat” Success

“Spend Dat” has kept Yung Miami sitting pretty in recent months. The song debuted at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and quickly became a favorite, but its success has arrived alongside a steady stream of criticism. Lyrics centered on boosting and spending someone else’s money, coupled with a social media challenge built around the record, have led to debates over whether Miami is glamorizing theft. The controversy grew after Bellevue police reportedly identified a TikTok set to “Spend Dat” as a significant clue in a retail-theft case. Neither Miami nor the song was accused of involvement in the alleged crime.

The criticism has also reopened a familiar argument about what audiences expect from rappers and their lyrics. Miami’s defenders have pointed to Hip Hop’s long history of artists writing about drug dealing, robbery, violence, and other illegal activity, whether autobiographical, fictional, or exaggerated. From their perspective, the outrage surrounding “Spend Dat” applies a level of scrutiny to Miami that Rap music hasn’t always demanded from artists whose records explored similar themes. The debate hasn’t stopped the song from becoming a success, which makes her abrupt exit from the tour especially noticeable.

Moreover, BossMan Dlow has not shared additional details about Yung Miami’s departure or how long the pause will last. With some ticketing pages still listing Miami while other dates carry postponement notices, the status of the remaining Motion Party Tour shows and her continued involvement remain unclear.

The post 50 Cent Wants Judge To Throw Out Ex-Employee’s Case appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Receiving calls and messages meant for a former boss may be frustrating, but 50 Cent says that doesn’t amount to a years-long intimidation campaign. The rapper is asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by his former employee, Monique Mayers, asserting that her case relies on accusations she has failed to connect directly to him.

Mayers, who worked as 50’s assistant from 2007 until 2019, sued the rapper in April, accusing him of intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy. She claims she was fired after refusing requests that allegedly involved illegal conduct and later received more than 80 harassing or threatening calls and messages. According to her complaint, strangers repeatedly contacted her asking for “Curtis,” “50,” or “Fif.” Mayers believes it was part of an intimidation campaign connected to her former employer.

Fif’s Team Denies The Allegations

50’s attorneys dispute that theory. In his latest filing, TMZ reports the rapper argues Mayers has not alleged that he personally made a single call, sent a text, left a voicemail, or instructed anyone else to threaten or harass her. His legal team instead points to Mayers’ lengthy employment as his assistant, arguing that people had associated her phone number with 50 for years and were simply attempting to reach him through an old contact. The filing also questions why Mayers didn’t change her number and notify her contacts if she believed the calls had become a source of continued harassment.

The rapper is also challenging the timing of the lawsuit. His attorneys argue Mayers waited more than seven years after her employment ended before filing her case and contend her claims fall outside the applicable statute of limitations. They have also taken issue with references to 50’s past bankruptcy and Mayers’ allegation that he once asked her to file a false police report. It was disputed that those details are irrelevant to the legal claims before the court and were included to generate headlines and damage public opinion against him.

Calling the lawsuit a “media stunt,” 50 is asking the court to dismiss Mayers’ case in its entirety and order her to pay his attorneys’ fees. A judge has not yet ruled on his request, leaving Mayers’ allegations and 50’s efforts to end the lawsuit to play out in federal court.

Apparently, one public defense wasn’t enough for Cardi B. After speaking at length about the allegations against Stefon Diggs during a heated X Space, the Bronx rapper returned to the subject in an Instagram comment section. There, she directly responded to a user questioning her support for the father of her youngest child.

Her latest response comes after Cardi made it clear that she stands behind Diggs as his legal battle with a male sexual assault accuser, Chris Griffith, continues. This time, she didn’t need a livestream to get her point across. The exchange quickly drew attention after someone noted that Diggs’ accuser claimed he had 100 pages of text messages to support his lawsuit. Cardi immediately clapped back.

Cardi Gives Insight Into The Case

After someone brought up the texts, Cardi wrote, “You supposed to submit your entire phone STEFON TEAM ASK TO submit the messages not the other way around.. it’s called discovery.” She added, “He is not askin to get it dismissed..where are you even getting that for the whole point of suing is to go to court and prove he was lying.” She then accused Griffith of doing “3 interviews,” changing “his story 2 times and never provided NOT ONE receipt.” Cardi then told the person, “Wait till trial start.”

Meanwhile, Griffith previously took to the internet with a lengthy statement, providing details of his own.

“If I didn’t speak up, imagine how many MORE victims there may be? Look up what happened to Nigel King…,” Griffith wrote. “Look up whom attacked Nigel and cross-reference those names w/ whom attacked me…. Them same kids she referenced that are watching me, need to know their Daddy never let anybody step on me OR over me that did me wrong — simply because they were more rich. Truth gon beat a lie 8 days a week.” He added, “I responded w/ facts that have only become MORE substantiated as time has taken shape, and now EVERYBODY involved will be held accountable where it matters most — before a judge and jury.”

Well, it looks as if we’re getting new music from Tory Lanez this week. The incarcerated rapper and singer announced that a double album will arrive Friday, July 17, dividing the project between the two sounds that have defined much of his career. “MADE YOU THINK I WAS GONE…BUT 7.17,” he wrote on Instagram. “DISC 1: RAP. DISC 2: R&B. PRE SAVE NOW. LINK IN BIO.”

Prison hasn’t completely stopped Lanez from keeping his catalog active. He previously released his Prison Tapes series, which included music recorded while incarcerated. This was before correctional officers confiscated recording equipment from his cell and the series was placed on hold. He later released Peterson in 2025, another album recorded behind bars, continuing to find ways to put music in front of listeners despite serving a lengthy sentence.

Lanez’s Fans Are Excited About The Release

Moreover, Lanez’s audience hasn’t disappeared, either. The comment section under the latest announcement quickly filled with fans celebrating the news and anticipating both sides of the double album. Listeners who have followed Lanez through projects such as the Chixtape series and Alone at Prom, separating Rap and R&B into individual discs gives him room to return to the versatility that has long been central to his music. His legal troubles have remained a source of intense public debate, but a devoted section of his fan base continues to support his releases and wait for whatever he puts out next.

Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence in California. A Los Angeles jury convicted him in December 2022 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence in connection with the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Megan testified that Lanez shot at her feet following an argument, and she later underwent surgery for her injuries. Lanez has continued to maintain his innocence and challenge his conviction.

Kanye West has been through his fair share of legal battles over the past few years. One of which includes a battle against a former employee by the name of Anthony Saxon Netelkos.

The man had been suing Ye for not providing him with workers’ compensation insurance. After years of litigation, Ye finally lost the case and was ordered to pay the man $140K. However, according to TMZ, Netelkos is now looking for upwards of $1.2 million, as he believes he is entitled to lawyers’ fees.

Netelkos claims to have paid for 740 hours’ worth of lawyer labor, stating that the case lasted three years. Meanwhile, his legal team is hoping for a 1.75 multiplier to be applied by the court, as the case was complex.

Kanye West Faces More Litigation

In this new court filing, Netelkos’ legal team claims Ye was using dirty tricks during the case, which ultimately delayed the proceedings. This subsequently led to more hours and a more complex case for Netelkos to win. Now that Netelkos has won the case, they believe they have a realistic claim to the fees.

It’s a tough situation for Ye, albeit an even tougher one for Netelkos, who had to go through a grueling fight with someone with lots of money and resources. A judge has yet to rule on the latest motion, while Ye has not made any comments.

Ebro and Peter Rosenberg have worked with one another for many years now. Overall, these two helped build the morning show at Hot97 alongside Laura Stylez. More recently, they have gone independent with The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show.

This new enterprise has captured the attention of the hip-hop world positively. During this weekend’s Jay-Z concerts at Yankee Stadium, Ebro revealed he received numerous compliments on what he and his two co-hosts were doing. One of those compliments even came from LeBron James.

However, today’s episode of The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show wasn’t so positive. We say this because Ebro and Rosenberg found themselves in the midst of a yelling match. Things got out of hand during a conversation about investments and how Ebro and Rosenberg aren’t in the same rooms.

Rosenberg argues that he doesn’t have the mindset for networking and seeking investment opportunities. Ebro then said that Rosenberg doesn’t have “money to invest.” Rosenberg took that phrasing to heart and felt as though Ebro was trying to disrespect him. The two men then began calling each other bitches and hoes.

Ebro Vs. Peter Rosenberg

Laura Stylez tried to be the mediator in all of this, although both men continued to raise their voices at one another. Rosenberg maintained that he does have money; it’s just that he puts it in the bank as opposed to networking with random investors.

Ebro said his phrasing doesn’t make a difference and that Rosenberg is being sensitive. While Stylez agreed that Ebro’s phrasing was disrespectful, she felt as though both co-hosts were being “assholes.”

The clip has started to spread on social media. Although some believe this is simply a wrestling work, something that Rosenberg knows like the back of his hand. We’ll see if this situation affects their working relationship going forward.
