At this time, it is unclear what the circumstances of the arrest were and what the exact robbery allegations entail. Last night, DeenTheGreat had been streaming with Deshae Frost, Adrien Broner, and Tekashi 6ix9ine.

DeenTheGreat is someone who is known for his on-stream antics. Furthermore, he is a boxing influencer of sorts and has been looking to embark on a professional career. His relationship with Broner is further proof of his attempts to embed himself within the sport of boxing.

DeenTheGreat Arrest

In fact, over the past couple of weeks, Broner and DeenTheGreat have been streaming on a consistent basis. During these streams, Broner has exhibited erratic behavior that has left fans concerned. For instance, we recently saw a stream in which Sexyy Red was being hit on by Broner in an uncomfortable fashion.

As for DeenTheGreat, it remains to be seen what is going to become of this story. At the moment, the arrest is still very fresh. According to TMZ, it occurred on Wednesday morning, and the streamer is still in the process of being booked. It could be hours before he is officially released on bond.

Having said that, this is a developing story, so stay tuned to HotNewHopHop as we will be sure to bring you the latest news and updates.

This has subsequently led to backlash and a not-so-great response from Hart himself. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Hart acknowledged that the jokes were crass. However, he defended Hinchcliffe’s right to attend the roast and make offensive remarks.

On the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Budden was not impressed with Hart, and he let those feelings be known. He even stated that Hart is currently “gaslighting” his supporters.

“Kevin Hart is gaslighting people,” Budden said. “The people that are offended don’t give a f*** that he had one of the best sets & if anyone is supposed to understand that it’s you.”

Joe Budden On Kevin Hart

Budden then went on to talk about how some have proclaimed that Hart has ingratiated himself with white audiences and offensive white comedians. Budden believes the recent comments made by Hart seem to confirm some of these suspicions.

“Some of those accusations about Kevin appear true & if Kev doesn’t look at himself as one of ours then I’m not about to keep looking at him that way,” Budden continued.

It is clear that Hart has left many disappointed and offended by his associations. Hinchcliffe is a comedian who has proven to be offensive for the sake of being offensive. His George Floyd jokes were in poor taste, and there are other comedians out there who feel the same.

Whether or not Netflix continues with these roasts, and the current crop of comedians who attend them, remains to be seen.

Some people still romanticize the old Gucci Mane–even Gucci himself. But in the past few months, Wop has been far more open about his mental health struggles in his life that informed some of the decisions he made, as well as some of his most viral moments. His book Episodes and its accompanying album provided more insight into these struggles and his account of what happened. 

There were rants on Twitter that targeted his peers, rumors, and allegations about his time in the streets, etc. However, one clip in particular captured just how erratic his behavior got.

Back in 2013, Gucci Mane was spotted at Lenox Mall in Atlanta when he nearly came to blows with a random bystander. The video that circulated showed Wop ready to square up with said person before a woman intervened and managed to de-escalate the situation. Meanwhile, fans who witnessed it continued egging him on, chanting his name and ad-libs as it went down.

Gucci Mane Details Lenox Mall Episode

“I never had got treatment or help, so I was just doing a whole bunch of irresponsible things,” Gucci Mane told Byron Pitts. “So the Lenox Mall episode, when I was about to get into a fight at the mall, that was part of a three-week, maybe four-week spiral of things just getting progressively bad to worse.”

Check out part one of Gucci Mane’s Nightline interview above and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below.

Yesterday, we reported that Ye was looking to hand out free tickets to this show. Furthermore, we reported that the artist had 1 million people in a queue looking to cop tickets. This is a pretty massive achievement, and it is further proof that the artist is still popular despite all of his controversies.

As it turns out, the demand for the concert in Tampa was so high that Ye decided to opt for a second show in Tampa at the same venue. This show will take place on Sunday, June 28, two days after the first one.

Kanye West Capitalizes On The Hype

For those who want tickets, you can register for the general sale on Ye’s website, right here. The sale is expected to begin on Thursday, May 28, at 10 AM EST. Furthermore, it was stated on Ye’s website that some pre-registrants will be selected to get free tickets. This is a huge opportunity, and we’re sure there will be tons of early sign-ups.

That said, there are tens of thousands of tickets available for over a million hopeful fans. This just goes to show that the demand is there, and earning free tickets will be like winning the lottery. Even being able to purchase tickets at all will be a Herculean task.

Ye’s comeback tour is going to take him all over the United States and Europe. There are countries that have banned him, although others are willing to welcome him with open arms. Whether or not he can sustain this comeback is something that fans will be curious to see.

Ak responded to these critiques on stream, stating that Hecht was too “woke” and that this kind of commentary is dead on arrival. Hecht subsequently leveled another response, this time saying that Ak is MAGA. He even accused him of taking payments from the CEO of Truth Social. Ak denied the claims and told Hecht he would give him $100K if he could provide proof.

Hecht accepted this challenge and went on social media last night, claiming that Akademiks received $10,000 from Chris Pavlovski, who Hecht said was the CEO of Truth Social.

Jeremy Hecht Alleges Ak Took Payments From Truth Social

The issue with this allegation is that Pavlovski is not the CEO of Truth Social. He is the CEO of Rumble. The CEO of Truth Social is Kevin McGurn, who is in the role on an interim basis.

While Rumble is, indeed, a conservative-leaning enterprise, it is not the same thing as Truth Social. Furthermore, Akademiks eventually responded to Hecht on stream, noting that the payments from Pavlovski were part of his streaming deal with Rumble.

Akademiks Responds

Ak’s rant subsequently went into a diatribe of sorts against hip-hop media as a whole. Clearly, he does not appreciate these allegations, and has decided to respond with as much forth as humanly possible.

The charge stems from an alleged incident back in April, when Allstar JR was the target of an alleged robbery. According to Hot97’s Bryson “Boom” Paul, a gun fell during the melee, and when Allstar JR picked it up, he fired it multiple times, which led to injuries.

If you may remember, Allstar JR was implicated in the shooting of NBA Ben10. This charge allegedly stems from that altercation. In the aftermath of the NBA Ben10 situation, Allstar JR made a music video aimed at J Prince Jr. According to Paul’s report, this music video could end up being used as evidence.

As for NBA Ben10, there have been all sorts of rumors about his status. Some have claimed that he was paralyzed in the shooting. Meanwhile, just a couple of weeks ago, NBA Ben10 was shot for a second time in as many months.

Allstar JR Receives July Court Date

As Paul reports, Allstar JR’s federal gun case officially has a trial date set for July 6. It is expected that this is going to be a short trial that will last a maximum of three days.

Allstar JR faces a lengthy sentence of 15 years in prison if convicted. Although this is a maximum sentence. There is always a chance that a conviction could bring about less prison time.

This is a developing story, and we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.

Recently, the artist was spotted in the studio with Offset, which led to rumors of a Migos reunion. Quavo and Offset have not been on the best of terms as of late, so this news was certainly encouraging. However, it appears as though the artist has something else planned for the immediate future.

While taking to X on Tuesday, Quavo revealed that he has officially turned in his album with Pharrell Williams. This news was certainly a surprise to fans, as there were some who had no idea this was in the works. “Album turn in see yall soon!” he wrote.

Quavo x Pharrell

There are some details that are unclear about this project. For instance, is Pharrell just producing, or is he also going to be singing on this? We also don’t know what the release date for the album is going to look like. The Summer is on the horizon, and we can imagine there would be some Summer slaps on here. If there is a song with Offset, with Pharrell production, then even better.

Ultimately, the prospect of new Quavo and Pharrell music is exciting all on its own. If you are a hip-hop fan, you can’t help but feel a bit spoiled this year. Between releases from A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, Drake, and now Quavo, it’s been a great year for rap, and we haven’t even hit the halfway point.

For instance, he now owns the top three spots on the Billboard 200. ICEMAN sold 465K units in its first week, while the other two releases were well over the 100K mark. Given the sheer volume of options fans received, this is certainly an impressive feat.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the artist tore up the Billboard Hot 100 with 42 new entries. He scored nine of the top 10 tracks, and he was even able to secure himself a number one hit in “Janice STFU.” This is his 14th number one, which means he now has more number ones than Michael Jackson. He also has more number one albums than Jay-Z.

This is cause for celebration, and Drake did just that on Tuesday night, as you can see in a screengrab from social media, below.

Drake Is Having A Blast

Drake can be seen standing in front of a big mirror with blue and silver balloons all around him. Furthermore, there is a big sign on the ground which showcases all of his number one albums and all of his number one songs.

It’s a cool way to pat himself on the back for an achievement that has certainly turned a lot of heads. Drake might just have the song of the summer, and there is this sense that he has firmly returned to his songwriting of old.

While this may be hyperbole for some fans, there are those who truly believe Drake has turned a corner. Whether or not he can keep this momentum going is something that still remains to be seen.

On the Billboard Hot 100, Drake has 42 songs. He has nine in the top 10, and this includes a number one hit thanks to “Janice STFU.” Clearly, the artist has gotten back to his hitmaking ways, and this has excited his fanbase. It has also excited the casual listener who was yearning for Drizzy to make a song of the Summer.

In its first week, ICEMAN sold 465K units. This is impressive when you consider how Drake has stayed away from merch bundles. Vinyls aren’t being sold yet, and neither are CDs. As a result, the vast majority of units sold have come from streaming.

With that being said, some have been curious about whether or not this project will fall off a cliff. As it turns out, it won’t. According to Hits Daily Double, Drake will sell 215K units with ICEMAN in its second week.

Drake Looks To Make A Splash

This will be good enough to keep the project in the top spot. However, it is currently unknown what the projections for HABIBTI & MAID OF HONOUR will look like. Those have a higher chance of falling down the chart rankings, as fans focus their attention on ICEMAN.

Whatever the case may be, it is clear that Drake has turned things around for himself. After two years of doubt and humiliation, he has come through with one of his best albums in years.

As for the Billboard Hot 100, there is a very good chance that “Janice STFU” has the juice to stay at the top for quite some time.

These polarized opinions have put Akademiks on the back foot at times. Recently, he has found himself at odds with Jeremy Hecht of the Uproxx network. Hecht recently accused Ak of receiving payments from the CEO of Truth Social. Furthermore, Akademiks has been accused of being biased towards MAGA and President Donald Trump.

After Hecht did more digging and leveled a report on Tuesday, Akademiks decided to go live, where he claimed that hip-hop media wants to see him lose. In fact, he alleged that some of his associates are being stalked. This includes meme pages and even stream clippers.

DJ Akademiks Believes People Are Stalking Him

Akademiks subsequently went on to say that he will no longer be taking the high road with the media. He has reached a point of no return and will be taking big swings at hip-hop media for the rest of the year.

It is unclear which personalities he will be going after, although we imagine Hecht is one of them. We also imagine anyone who sided with Kendrick Lamar during the beef is going to be part of this supposed crusade.

DJ Akademiks’ stalking allegations are certainly serious. With that being said, one has to wonder what the goal of such a stalking campaign would be.

As for going after hip-hop media, this is not something Ak has restrained himself from doing in the past. We imagine Ak was going to do this whether his people were allegedly being stalked or not.
