Diddy’s troubles are far from over, but it seems like he did receive some good news recently. According to reports, Diddy’s release date was pushed up from June to February 2028. Diddy was sentenced to a 50-month sentence. So, ultimately, this is a positive update for the disgraced mogul, who is currently at  Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey.

Of course, the news ultimately led to plenty of reactions from the internet, including 50 Cent, who never misses an opportunity to egg on their beef. This time, Fif referenced Diddy’s parties, writing, “Diddy coming homes soon he short now, you know he gonna have the craziest party ever! LOL who going? You going!”

Fif’s feud with Diddy has been ongoing for years, but the Power executive has been going even harder since the Bad Boy founder was charged. Last year, he released Sean Combs: The Reckoning on Netflix, a docuseries that explored the dark side of Diddy’s empire. Fif also vowed to donate proceeds from the documentary toward sexual assault victims.

Diddy Leak, Daphne Joy & 50 Cent’s Reaction

Fif’s latest comments arrive weeks after a leaked video involving Diddy and Daphne Joy, the mother of 50 Cent’s son Sire, surfaced. That connection alone likely explains part of Fif’s grievances with Puff, though he largely commented on Daphne’s involvement and the impact it might have on their child. 

“When we think of women, we go empowerment for women, but let’s not forget that there’s some hoes… [and predators],” he explained. “So there are people who are there who are looking for those things. They look for that.”

We’ll keep you posted on any further developments surrounding Diddy’s case.

50 Cent Trolls Floyd Mayweather Over Felony Fraud Charge: “The Feds Looking For You” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998799-50-cent-floyd-mayweather-felony-charges-reaction Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:31:48 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998799 Floyd Mayweather has been accused of passing bad checks.

An enemy of 50 Cent will forever be an enemy of 50 Cent, and that seems true about Floyd Mayweather, specifically. Although the two were once tight associates, their relationship collapsed, and now, Fif takes any opportunity he can to troll him.

Most recently, Mayweather was reported to be facing felony charges for allegedly issuing bad checks, the latest in his financial troubles. Per ESPN, he was accused of theft and “intent to defraud” after attempting to purchase a $200K watch in Las Vegas using bad checks. He’s now being charged with “theft, value 100,000 or greater” and “draw or pass check with intent to defraud, value $1,200 or greater.”

Of course, 50 Cent didn’t waste any time finding pleasure in Mayweather’s hardships here. In his usual mocking tone, he wrote, “Damn Champ WTF is up if you need some money just call me. We could have kept this sh*t from getting so messy. The feds looking for you, love you bro I’m not mad at you anymore call me.”

So far, we haven’t heard from Mayweather but his attorney did show up on his behalf for a court appearance on Monday. The complaint claims Mayweather issued a check when he “had insufficient money, property, or credit” in his account. What’s worse is that the theft charge alleges that he wrote the check “knowing that the check would not be paid when presented” and accused him of doing so “knowingly, feloniously, and without lawful authority.”

Mayweather’s Attorney Responds

His attorney, Adrian Lobo, said that Mayweather “had absolutely no intent to defraud” Gold & Beyond, the company that filed the complaint against the boxer. “This matter doesn’t belong in criminal courts,” Lobo said, claiming that the relationship between Mayweather and the owner of Gold & Beyond is long-standing and that it should’ve been a civil claim instead. Lobo said the next court date is September 17th.

Chris Brown’s Civil Dog-Mauling Case Declared A Mistrial, But It’s Not Over Yet https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998794-chris-brown-dog-mauling-mistrial Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:49:27 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998794 A juror's poor decisions led to a mistrial in the Chris Brown dog-mauling case, although the case is far from over.

Chris Brown is in court this week as Maria Avila’s civil lawsuit against him marches on. The lawsuit stems from a 2020 incident in which one of Brown’s dogs attacked her. Brown has taken partial responsibility for the incident, although he refutes some of Avila’s allegations.

Avila, who says she has suffered disfigurement, nerve damage, and emotional distress as a result of the attack, claims Brown did not do enough to help her. She alleges he stood over her body and meandered around before help came. The singer, on the other hand, remains steadfast in his claims that he helped secure the dogs away from the scene, while also calling for the proper aid.

According to Rolling Stone, this trial is not to determine whether Brown was at fault. Instead, it is to determine how responsible he was and how much he should pay in terms of damages.

However, the trial is already off to a rocky start. On Tuesday, a mistrial was declared by Judge Huey P. Cotton. A woman on the jury was looking up facts of the case before the trial, which is very much against the rules.

Chris Brown Trial Update

However, that is not the end of the trial. Instead, Chris Brown will be back on Thursday as a new jury is determined. A jury pool was waiting in case this happened, so all this does is delay the results of the trial by a few days.

Regardless, this is the unfortunate risk when you have a trial involving someone famous like Chris Brown. Only time will tell if the trial suffers from any other setbacks.

Drake’s Reign At #1 On Billboard 200 Could End Next Week https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998788-drake-iceman-billboard-200 Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:34:23 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998788 Drake's "ICEMAN" might slip from the top spot of the Billboard 200.

The post Drake’s Reign At #1 On Billboard 200 Could End Next Week appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A few months ago, a lot of people doubted whether Drake’s commercial prowess was still as strong as it once was. The feud with Kendrick Lamar put a stain on his reputation, but evidently, it wasn’t strong enough to completely derail him from debuting at the top of the Billboard 200. The release of ICEMAN proved that he still commands the mainstream, and its place at the top of the chart has made it undeniable.

However, after four weeks at the top, it appears that his reign might be ending sometime soon. According to Kurrco, ICEMAN’s fifth week will see its place drop by one position. The album is set to sit at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 104K units sold. It’s still an impressive feat, all things considered, especially since not many albums in general have that type of staying power, whether at #1 or even in the top 10.

Even at #2, the fact that the album has moved over 100K in its fifth week is something to marvel at during a time when sales in hip-hop specifically don’t seem as strong. With songs like “Janice STFU” and “Shabang” turning into viral hits, it seems like ICEMAN will be an inescapable project this summer.

Drake Films New Video In Turks & Caicos

Outside of his chart performance, the rapper was recently spotted in Turks & Caicos with Stunna Sandy shooting a new music video. Considering there are two other projects he released that haven’t received the same type of visual treatment as ICEMAN, it feels like there will be far more music videos attached to this era of Drake’s career than ever before.

Cardi B Secures Small Legal Victory As Drai’s Beachclub Lawsuit Heads To Discovery https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998786-cardi-b-drai-nightclub-lawsuit Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:07:10 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998786 Cardi B is currently facing a lawsuit for the mic-throwing incident at Drai's Beachclub in 2023, but this week, she got a legal win.

Cardi B is currently in a legal battle against Jane Doe, stemming from a July 29, 2023, incident at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas. As we’ve reported before, Cardi B threw a microphone at the woman’s head, which allegedly led to physical injuries as well as emotional distress.

Now, Jane Doe is taking Cardi B to court. Prior to the discovery phase, Cardi put in a contribution claim. Essentially, this means she believes her actions in the case were completely justified. Simply put, Cardi says this was self-defense.

Jane Doe previously filed a motion to have Cardi’s contribution claims dismissed. However, Judge Bita Yeager has ultimately sided in Cardi’s favor, at least for now. While the Judge is not commenting on whether Cardi’s contribution claims are valid, what she is doing is claiming that not enough information has been presented.

Once the discovery phase is over, Yeager will have a better picture of whether or not Contribution can be used as a defense here.

Cardi B Claims Contribution

During Cardi B’s 2023 performance at the Beachclub, the artist was telling fans to splash water and ice on her since it was hot. As the woman explains, she was just following Cardi’s orders. That’s when the microphone hit her square in the face.

Cardi has a different story. While she acknowledges asking the crowd for help cooling down, she also says that Jane Doe was splashing her well beyond a reasonable time frame. By the time of the incident, she no longer needed assistance. Once the ice hit her, that’s when she acted in what she claims is self-defense.

While Cardi has scored a minor legal victory here, the case is far from over. Stay tuned for updates, as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Joe Budden Goes Completely Scorched Earth On Victor Wembanyama https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998782-joe-budden-rant-victor-wembanyama Wed, 17 Jun 2026 14:20:23 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998782 Following the New York Knicks' first title in 53 years, Joe Budden leveled some harsh criticisms against Victor Wembanyama.

Joe Budden is a fan of the New York Knicks, and he was having a ton of fun watching his team win its first NBA title in 53 years on Saturday. The Knicks were able to take down the San Antonio Spurs, who came into the series as the favorites. This was mostly thanks to their 7’4″ alien, Victor Wembanyama.

Throughout the series, Wemby was not the player fans were hoping for him to be. Instead, he played dirty and got himself into foul trouble. Furthermore, he was terrible down the stretch in games, as he could not get a basket in the paint. His Spurs gave up double-digit leads in every single game, making this a winnable series for the Spurs.

The NBA wants Wemby to be the face of the league, but as Joe Budden ranted earlier this week, he’s not so sure that should be the case. In fact, Budden went completely scorched earth on Wembanyama for eight whole minutes.

Joe Budden Tells Us How He Really Feels

Throughout the rant, Budden speaks about how Wemby is a fake tough guy and that the Knicks have real big men on the team. Furthermore, he made fun of how Wembanyama is built, saying that he is easy to punk.

It was a passionate rant, although given how Wemby was moving throughout the postseason, it’s not entirely undeserved. Not to mention, Knicks fans have been through enough pain over the years; they are allowed to talk like this after so many years away from the top of the sport.

The team’s title defense starts in four months from now, and everyone will be watching intently to see if they can do it. As for Wembanyama, he needs to figure out his conditioning; otherwise, he will come up short again.

Back in 2016, DJ Shadow and Run The Jewels teamed up for the song “Nobody Speak.” Now, 10 years later, we have a sequel to the track, this time featuring the likes of Denzel Curry and TiaCorine from The Scythe. This time around, Run The Jewels are used scarcely towards the end of the track as they combine for the hook. Meanwhile, Denzel Curry and TiaCorine trade bars, and it makes for an interesting dynamic. Clearly, DJ Shadow is a fan of the “Nobody Speak” ethos, and using The Scythe is a great way to keep it going.

DJ Akademiks Calls Atlanta Gangster Rap A “Clown Show” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998770-dj-akademiks-atlanta-rap-clown-show Wed, 17 Jun 2026 13:23:37 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998770 DJ Akademiks has been beefing with Atlanta rappers lately, and now, he is looking to escalate that grievance.

The post DJ Akademiks Calls Atlanta Gangster Rap A “Clown Show” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
DJ Akademiks has never been one to mince words. This is especially true when it comes to those with whom he finds himself beefing. At this time, it appears as though Ak’s biggest grievance is with Atlanta as a whole.

This mostly has to do with his beef with Lil Baby. The two have been taking shots at one another, although it seems clear that Akademiks is more invested right now. Overall, this beef has led to numerous rants in which Akademiks questions the validity of Atlanta gangster rap. He has pressed the issue when it comes to snitching allegations against the likes of Young Thug, and he is showing no signs of slowing down.

In fact, during a recent livestream, Akademiks called Atlanta gangster rap a “clown show.” He claimed that everyone is snitching and that 50 Cent could never get away with what T.I. has allegedly done. Furthermore, he leveled snitching allegations at the likes of Jeezy.

DJ Akademiks On ATL Snitching Allegations

From there, Akademiks commented on Young Thug’s recent revelation that he will be making an R&B album. Ak believes this is the only realistic avenue for the artist right now, given the snitching allegations that were made against him.

Clearly, Akademiks has a bone to pick with Atlanta, and he is not going to slow down his criticisms anytime soon. For some, this has gone a bit too far, especially since it is unlikely Ak would ever say this to these artists’ faces.

This has never stopped Akademiks from saying how he truly feels, and we doubt he is going to stop anytime soon. That said, he is walking a very fine line with this rhetoric, and we can only imagine what some of these artists must be thinking watching this.
