The Game and Drake’s friendship is controversial in the eyes of some due to his California roots. But it’s also under a microscope because no one truly knows where he stands with Kendrick Lamar either. But regardless of all of that, he’s stuck to his guns and supported whoever he’s wanted to.

Just a few months ago in an interview with Shannon Sharpe, the “Hate It Or Love It” rapper shared that he and Drizzy are more than okay. “That’s my brother. I don’t cut no corners about my friendship with Drake. He always been solid with me… ain’t never done me no wrong. He always look out, you know, for the kids when they want to go to shows and whatnot.”

Well, it seems that love from The Boy could be reciprocated on Game’s end in the form of a feature. Caught by Kurrco, he recently updated his Instagram profile picture to an image of a diamond.

But it’s not just any diamond. If you caught wind of our article yesterday, several affiliates of Drake have this very same photo as their PFP like The Game now does.

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

Folks like TVGUCCI, SURF BOARD WAVE, Kai, Johnny Manziel, and 4karri are teasing their potential involvement with ICEMAN. Given that someone like Manziel—an ex football player—is a part of this social media stunt makes us believe this doesn’t necessarily mean anything in regards to features.

So, The Game doing this could just mean he’s showing love and nothing else. But with it being nearly 11 full years since their last collab, “100,” we are holding out hope for a track.

The same can be said about the release date which remains elusive. There were some “insiders” swearing up and down that ICEMAN was going to drop, or at the very least be announced, earlier this month. But that didn’t happen and we are now still left in the dark as to its progress.

However, The Game’s post along with everyone else’s has us hoping a big announcement is coming sooner than later.

Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” Is Officially Returning https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/984552-air-jordan-3-white-cement-sneaker-news Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:38:09 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=984552 The Air Jordan 3 "White Cement" is returning in 2027, bringing back one of the most iconic and beloved colorways.

The post Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” Is Officially Returning appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” is officially coming back in 2027. This is one of the most celebrated colorways in the entire Jordan Brand catalog. Sneaker fans have been waiting on this return for years. When it drops, it is going to be one of the biggest releases of that year.

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” is returning in the spring of 2027.

The “White Cement” colorway holds a special place in sneaker history. This is the shoe Michael Jordan wore when he won the 1988 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. That iconic moment is permanently tied to this exact colorway. Wearing a pair of “White Cements” carries that legacy with it every single time.

What makes this return even more significant is the Nike Air branding on the heel. The classic “Nike Air” logo on the back is something purists have always treasured deeply. Jordan Brand has brought it back for this release, which is a major detail. That alone is enough to push demand through the roof.

The white tumbled leather upper looks as clean and timeless as it always has. Grey cement print overlays on the toe and heel give the shoe its signature texture. Fire red accents and a black outsole complete the classic color story. Nothing about this colorway needs to change and nothing has.

Air Jordan 3 “White Cement”

The Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” is one of the purest expressions of what made the Jordan 3 so revolutionary when it first released in 1988. The white tumbled leather upper is clean and premium, holding up as one of the most timeless bases in sneaker design.

Grey cement elephant print wraps the toe box and heel, adding a bold textural contrast to all that white. Fire red accents appear on the eyelets and sock liner, giving the colorway its signature pop.

The Nike Air branding on the heel is a nod to the original release. Black on the outsole and midsole edge grounds the entire look. This colorway defined an era and still looks just as relevant decades later.

Who Is Keyanna Joseph?

The post Who Is Keyanna Joseph? The Woman Allegedly Married To 21 Savage appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
21 Savage fans have speculated about his romantic status for years, especially after his reported marriage to Keyanna Joseph in 2020. Now that his current partner Latto announced that she’s expecting a child with him, fans are looking back at that marriage.

Per Yahoo!, Joseph’s marriage to Savage occurred after his February 2019 arrest regarding his visa, which has led many to speculate that they tied the knot specifically to address his legal status. This marriage reportedly allowed for his legal resident status via a green card.

The couple had been romantically linked on-and-off for about 13 years. They share sons Kamari and Ashaad. 21 also has a daughter named Rhian from another, unknown relationship.

As for her personal life, Keyanna Joseph is a business owner, entrepreneur, and beauty specialist who owns the Haus Of Key and Beauty By Nukee brands. She is 32 years old according to her Instagram.

Most recently, Keyanna Joseph reportedly liked Latto’s Instagram announcement concerning her pregnancy and her new album Big Mama, as caught by Alexis on Twitter. As such, it seems like the relationship history led to an overall supportive and amicable dynamic.

Latto’s Pregnancy Announcement

For those unaware, Latto revealed her pregnancy on social media while dropping the new single “Business & Personal” and announcing her new album Big Mama, set for release on May 29. As for 21 Savage’s connection to it, the music video for that single is what gave fans the hint.

It’s been years since relationship rumors around the two swirled. Now, they are all but confirmed. A hand with the same tattoos as 21’s caressed the Atlanta femcee in the music video in question. Following other apparent confirmations of their romance, this is their most significant step yet.

Still, questions linger about Keyanna Joseph, her dynamic with the Atlanta lyricist, and what their relationship history actually looks like. Those Latto dating rumors came with criticism and gossip around cheating allegations and more.

Now, though, it seems like the coparents are in a solid space. We will see if any other information emerges about these dynamics soon. Whether in interviews or on Big Mama itself, these folks can elaborate on what happened.

LeBron James Flamed For Walking Around With J.

Cole.

When you’re as globally known as LeBron James, hate is going to come naturally. Anything a person like him does will be under a microscope. Unfortunately, the Los Angeles Laker wasn’t even able to escape catching any sort of backlash even while taking a stroll recently. But it’s not just because he was walking, it’s what he was holding in the process. Caught by Kurrco, LeBron was photographed carrying around a vinyl of J. Cole’s The Fall-Off.

This variant of the North Carolina native’s album is still quite hard to come by, so maybe The King has some sort of plug that was able to hook him up.

However, even though it’s cool to see him supporting the Dreamville CEO, folks online are rolling their eyes anyway. “The most performative nba player ever lol,” one X user comments.

Another plays into the joke of LeBron being all-knowing. “N**** gon be like ‘I knew Cole was gon drop the album when he did cause I could feel the energy changing.”

A third is done hearing about the NBA legend online. “I’m ready for this n**** to be out of the limelight.”

Amidst all of the hating, though, there are a few calling out the ridiculousness. “Yall be hating for the silliest reasons [laughing emoji],” one fan responds.

What’s Next For J. Cole After The Fall-Off?

It’s also a little odd to see him facing backlash because LeBron was hyping up J. Cole’s album during the rollout earlier this year. For example, he reposted a screenshot from the album’s teaser trailer writing, “CAN’T WAIT COLE WORLD.”

He also showed love to the music just a few days ago, posting a video of himself bumping “Run A Train” in his car per Sportskeeda.

LeBron usually lets the hate and criticism roll off of his shoulders and we are sure he’s doing the same here.

But as for J. Cole, he’s been taking a little bit of a breather since dropping The Fall-Off on February 6. He recently wrapped up his Trunk Sale Tour where he drove across the United States selling CDs and meeting fans.

This summer, he’ll be kicking off his massive world tour, specifically on July 10 in Charlotte. It will run through December 12 with the last show being Johannesburg. But even before that starts, J. Cole said in a blog post that a run of interviews is coming soon.

He explained that he wanted to give fans time to listen to the album and form their uninfluenced opinions and thoughts. “Now, I feel like it’s a good time to step out my comfort zone (home) and go and do some interviews. There’s a lot of platforms out there that I f*ck with, both big and small, and I look forward to showing up, showing love while continuing to push this album that I gave so much to.”

Latto Addresses Drake Ghostwriting Allegations On New Song https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/984527-latto-addresses-drake-ghostwriting-allegations-new-song Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:00:10 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=984527 Latto and Drake have formed a close friendship in hip-hop via collabs like "Housekeeping Knows," but some fans remain skeptical.

The post Latto Addresses Drake Ghostwriting Allegations On New Song appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Latto is coming back with her new album Big Mama very soon, and she apparently has a lot to discuss on this new LP. On its lead single “Business & Personal,” she addressed rumors that Drake has been ghostwriting for her, which she sees as more of a positive than anything.

They call me ‘Big Mama,’ like a fat b***h / Oh, they think crodie wrote it? That’s a compliment,” the Atlanta rapper expressed on the cut, as caught by Kurrco on Twitter. “Crodie” is primarily Toronto slang that originated as a gang term, but has since become a more casual alternative to “friend.”

Of course, this relates directly to the OVO mogul not just due to the connection to the 6ix, but because of Kendrick Lamar’s infamous use of the term on his “euphoria” diss track. In any case, it’s clear that Latto finds the comparison flattering above all else.

After all, they are two good friends who are solid hitmakers with a lot of crossover appeal. Fans wonder whether or not this response to those rumors will come along with a Drizzy feature on the LP. We’ll see if that pans out…

When Is Latto Dropping Her New Album?

Latto’s new album Big Mama comes out on May 29, although this hypothetical collab might land on another full-length. Drake’s ICEMAN is also on the way, so this could be another chance for them to work together. Their only official musical link-up at press time is “Housekeeping Knows” from the Toronto superstar’s 100 GIGS drops in 2024.

Elsewhere, this news about the 27-year-old’s upcoming album joins another revelation. She is now expecting a child, and fans are very happy for her. What’s more is that she seemed to confirm that 21 Savage is the father, adding another layer to rampant relationship rumors. In the music video for “Business & Personal,” a hand with the same tattoos as 21 caresses her.

As such, this has been a big rollout cycle with a lot to address. Beyond these ghostwriting allegations, Latto will probably have a lot more to dive into on Big Mama, and we can’t wait to listen.

Snoop Dogg went from a hip-hop giant to a dominant force in pop culture at large throughout his career, as evidenced by his latest move. He just announced a new album and movie, Ten Til Midnight, which will give fans a lot to chew on this spring.

Via Twitter, he shared a trailer for the movie and revealed the LP’s release date. The film stars West Coast rap stars Ray Vaughn, G Perico, and Hitta J3, as well as BLK ODYSSY. Written and directed by Luis De Pena and Yaslynn Rivera, the movie will center around brothers Ru Little and Do Wrong and what seems to be a heist narrative.

As for the full-length record that will accompany this flick, we don’t have many details on it at press time. However, there’s presumably a chance that the artists in the movie will provide material for the album, but that’s just a theory. In any case, this multimedia approach from Tha Doggfather should make for a very interesting conversation. After all, it’s not every day we get silver screen accompaniments to a new project.

When Does Snoop Dogg’s New Album Come Out?

Snoop Dogg’s Ten Til Midnight album comes out on April 10, whereas the Ten Til Midnight film will release next Friday, March 27. At press time, it’s unclear what the distribution will look like for this movie. Still, it will likely make a splash in hip-hop circles and beyond.

Elsewhere, Snoop Dogg’s extracurricular adventures are more difficult. The United States Patent and Trademark Office rejected his petition to federally trademark the phrase “Smoke Weed Every Day,” arguing that it’s too common of a phrase to exist as a brand identifier.

The West Coast legend also has a lot of other endeavors and projects under his belt, such as doing press for the Winter Olympics recently. With that background in mind, this movie/album combo shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

We will soon see and hear how Ten Til Midnight shapes up, both as a multimedia endeavor and as the next step in Snoop’s career. Over 30 years after his debut, he still has gas in the tank.

The post Rory Claims Producer Close To Kendrick Lamar Believes Drake Won The Battle appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s fan bases are among the most passionate, especially when their favorite artist is called out. As a result, when the beef went down, tense debates online were commonplace. That was even true for rappers and producers close with these artists as well as with folks within hip-hop media.

Rory and Mal of New Rory & Mal were among the bigger platforms covering the battle intensely and Mal in particular was staunchly defending Drizzy at every turn. But while most spectators gave Lamar the win, there are some out there even in the Compton rapper’s camp who didn’t agree.

Rory delivered the inside scoop during a recent episode of their podcast, claiming that he was told by a producer in K. Dot’s circle that “Mal was right.”

He understands that most people aren’t going to take his word. However, Rory says this Kendrick affiliate “whispered in [his] ear” in person this very statement. Mal didn’t celebrate this “I told you so” moment, but we have to imagine that Drake fans are going to.

But that still doesn’t change Rory’s mind. Later into this clip caught by X user CY Chels, he explains how he thinks Lamar outsmarted Drake.

What’s The Latest On Drake’s ICEMAN?

Rory focuses on the fact that Drake felt he needed to go toe-to-toe lyrically with a writer like Kendrick. But instead, the latter hit the former with the “okie doke” in his eyes by making a hit with “Not Like Us,” which is widely viewed as the nail in Drake’s coffin.

But even though many think this was a humiliating loss for Toronto’s own, folks in his circle claim this is being used as fuel for ICEMAN. One of those people spreading this narrative is producer and collaborator Gordo.

In an interview earlier this month, the artist formerly known as Carnage, said, “Artistically, with all the music that he’s making, they just woke up a f*cking beast that they haven’t seen in a long time. That makes me happy. The circumstance of it, the situation of it, and all the things that he had to go through was a bit sh*tty, obviously,” he said.

As for the progress on the album, it seems like we are very close to receiving it. Yesterday, a handful of Drake’s affiliates changed their profile pictures to an image of a diamond. It’s in turn fueled speculation that it could be the cover of the project which still doesn’t have a concrete release window.

The post 21 Savage’s Alleged Wife Allegedly Reacts To Latto’s Pregnancy Announcement appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Latto recently confirmed long-standing pregnancy rumors about her, and it’s led to more conversation around her relationship with 21 Savage. Upon her apparent confirmation that he’s the father of her child, his alleged wife Keyanna Joseph stepped into social media to react.

As caught by Alexis on Twitter, Joseph allegedly liked the Atlanta femcee’s Instagram announcement post regarding her upcoming album Big Mama, her pregnancy, and the “Business & Personal” single. However, beyond this, no other reactions or statements emerged. As such, we’ll see if any party involved elaborates on this dynamic any further in the future, since fans want answers.

Still, based on this IG like, Joseph seems supportive of the couple. The reason why folks immediately connected 21 to the pregnancy announcement isn’t just due to the romance rumors that are all but explicitly confirmed. It’s also because of the new single’s music video. In it, a hand with the same tattoos as Savage caresses Latto, and fans were quick to draw the connection. Amid fans and loved ones’ reactions, everyone seems quite happy for the couple on their journey.

Who Is Keyanna Joseph?

For those unaware, Keyanna Joseph is 21 Savage’s alleged wife, and their exact relationship status is unclear at press time. They reportedly share two sons, Kamari and Ashaad, whereas he has a daughter named Rhian from an unknown partner. The entrepreneur and beautician reportedly married 21 in 2020, shortly after his arrest regarding his visa.

As such, there’s a lot of speculation as to whether or not their marriage relates to that case, but that’s also officially unclear at press time. In any case, they keep their personal lives private for the most part and focus on their family.

Now, that extended family will grow, and it seems like Keyanna Joseph is supportive of her former partner. We will see if this relationship with Latto becomes a topical focus of her upcoming album Big Mama.

The LP drops on May 29. Following the release of “Business & Personal,” fans wonder if they will hear more singles before we get the full release. In any case, the conversation is heating up.
