A viral confrontation at Kai Cenat’s Streamer University didn’t end when the cameras moved on. Instead, it gave way to one of the weekend’s most talked-about conversations. After fellow streamer OjaySuave confronted PlaqueBoyMax during a livestream with personal insults aimed at his appearance, Lizzo sat down with the creator to offer a different perspective. When she asked what had been bothering him, Max admitted the comments had stuck with him, particularly remarks questioning whether his parents were proud of him.

“He just said some sh*t that just bothered me, kinda,” Max said. “Called me demonic and sh*t, said my parents are not proud of me.”

Rather than dwell on the exchange, Lizzo encouraged Max to shift the focus inward. She challenged him to name several things he genuinely loved about himself, prompting the streamer to reflect on qualities like his creativity and ambition before reminding him that the opinions of strangers shouldn’t outweigh his own sense of self. She also led him through a series of positive affirmations designed to reinforce that message.

Lizzo Drops Some Advice

“I want you to remember those things that you just said about yourself,” she said. “Don’t remember what somebody who don’t even know you said about you last night, because who are they? His opinion of you is none of your what? Business. Your business is your business, and you’re a multimillionaire. Period. Am I right?”

The moment resonated because it arrived after weeks of heightened attention surrounding Max’s evolving public image. The streamer has recently gone viral for embracing a more feminine aesthetic, including wearing wigs, revealing a “diva” tattoo, and leaning into the jokes that have fueled countless conversations across social media. While many fans have celebrated his willingness to express himself, others have used those changes as ammunition for criticism, making OjaySuave’s confrontation the latest flashpoint in an ongoing online debate.

Several creators at Streamer University questioned why Max had been singled out, with some calling the confrontation unnecessary and out of line. By the time the weekend wrapped up, however, the narrative had shifted. Max and fellow creator Wardrobe were named Streamer University’s Best Roommates, giving him a positive ending to an event that began with one of its most uncomfortable viral moments.

Nike’s Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” Is Finally Coming Back https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002789-nike-air-foamposite-pro-green-camo-sneaker-news-2 Mon, 20 Jul 2026 23:54:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002789 The Nike Air Foamposite Pro "Green Camo" it set to make its first return since 2013 a bit later this summer.

The post Nike’s Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” Is Finally Coming Back appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” is officially returning on August 14th. This marks its first release since the shoe originally launched in 2013.

Multiple sneaker outlets have confirmed the release date over the past week. The shoe uses a molded Foamposite shell covered in camouflage print. Forest green, brown, tan, and black tones make up the busy pattern.

Black wraps around the laces, collar, and tongue for added structure. Neon green accents show up on the branding and heel pull tab. That same green pops up again along the outsole’s Nike Swoosh.

A gum rubber sole finishes off the shoe’s rugged, military-inspired look. A patterned heel tab remains unique to this specific colorway. Back in 2013, the Foamposite designs were still a fairly new idea. Nike had introduced the “Galaxy” colorway just one year earlier.

This “Green Camo” pair became one of the standout designs from that era. Its return adds to a growing list of Foamposite Pro releases this year. Nike has already brought back both “Gym Red” and “Voltage” colorways recently. Together, these releases mark a big year for the Foamposite Pro line.

This Foamposite Pro uses Eric Avar’s original armored shell from 2001. That structure remains one of the most recognizable designs in Nike Basketball. The camo print stretches across the entire molded upper without interruption.

Black panels help frame that busy graphic around the shoe’s edges. A carbon fiber shank sits underfoot for added support and structure. That detail has remained part of the Foamposite Pro since its original release.

The gum outsole adds traction while keeping the vintage aesthetic intact. Neon green hits break up the earthy camo tones throughout the design. Those pops of color help the shoe avoid feeling too flat or muted. This release continues Nike’s push to revisit older, less common Foamposite styles. Collectors who missed the original 2013 drop finally get a second chance.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” Price

The retail price of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” will be $260 when they release.

Travis Scott Sparks Debate Over Stormi Moment At Fanatics Fest https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002796-travis-scott-stormi-fanatics-fest Mon, 20 Jul 2026 23:40:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002796 Online reactions poured in after a video of Travis Scott and his daughter, Stormi, at Fanatics Fest went viral.

A surprise appearance by Travis Scott’s daughter at Fanatics Fest quickly became a lightning rod for debate after clips from the performance spread across social media. Stormi Webster joined her father onstage during Scott’s performance in New York, but much of the online conversation focused on the rapper’s interaction with the 8-year-old.

In videos circulating across X, some viewers argued Scott appeared more focused on performing than engaging with Stormi as she followed him around the stage. Others pushed back, noting that the viral clips captured only brief moments from a much longer performance and didn’t necessarily reflect the full interaction.

The Internet Claps Back, But Didn’t Notice Other Videos

The discussion unfolded despite what was intended to be a family moment. Scott invited Stormi onstage while performing “FE!N,” prompting cheers from the crowd as she walked alongside him before making her way across the stage. While there were online debates about how much attention he was paying to Stormi, in other clips, the dad was proudly holding his daughter’s hand and ushering her around the stage.

The viral reaction stood in contrast to previous performances where Scott more directly incorporated Stormi into the show. During a concert in Japan last year, he handed her the microphone so she could deliver her memorable, “That’s right, Daddy,” line from “Thank God,” a moment that quickly circulated online and drew praise from fans. Stormi has also accompanied her father to public events and sporting matches over the years, becoming a familiar face alongside Scott and her younger brother, Aire.

Neither Scott nor Kylie Jenner has publicly responded to the latest online commentary. As the clips continued making the rounds, the conversation became less about the performance itself and more about how quickly brief moments can become the subject of interpretations.

Yella Beezy Trial Puts Rap Lyrics Back At Center Of Courtroom Debate https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002787-yella-beezy-mo3-murder-trial Mon, 20 Jul 2026 23:03:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002787 Prosecutors are pushing to admit Yella Beezy's lyrics as evidence, renewing debate over Rap music's role in criminal trials.

The post Yella Beezy Trial Puts Rap Lyrics Back At Center Of Courtroom Debate appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Rap bars have once again become a battleground in a high-profile criminal case, this time in the capital murder prosecution of Dallas rapper Yella Beezy. During a recent pretrial hearing, prosecutors argued that several of the rapper’s songs should be admitted as evidence, contending the lyrics support their allegation that Beezy, born Markies Deandre Conway, orchestrated the 2020 killing of fellow Dallas artist Mo3. Conway has pleaded not guilty to the charge, which alleges he arranged the shooting in exchange for payment.

The state’s argument extends beyond a single track, reports Complex. Investigators pointed to songs including “Hittas,” “Keep It in the Streets,” and “On Your Head,” telling the court the lyrics reference paying for violence and placing a bounty on someone. Prosecutors argue those themes align with their murder-for-hire theory. However, the defense maintains the music reflects performance and storytelling rather than literal confessions.

Experts Weigh In

That divide was underscored through testimony from Dr. Erik Nielson, a University of Richmond professor who has spent years researching the use of Rap lyrics in criminal prosecutions. Nielson testified that rappers frequently adopt fictional personas and rely on exaggeration. He warned that jurors may interpret artistic expression as autobiography. Dallas Police Detective Eric Barnes rejected that view, arguing his experience investigating violent crime leads him to evaluate the lyrics differently.

The question has surfaced repeatedly in recent years as prosecutors have sought to introduce lyrics in cases involving artists such as Young Thug and others. Defense attorneys, musicians, and civil rights advocates have argued that Hip Hop is often treated differently from other forms of creative expression. This has raised broader concerns about whether fictional lyrics should be viewed as evidence of criminal intent.

Conway’s jury trial is scheduled to begin on August 24 after several pretrial hearings addressing what evidence jurors may ultimately hear. If convicted of capital murder, he could face life in prison without parole or the death penalty under Texas law.

Milagro Gramz Seeks To Overturn $75K Judgment In Megan Thee Stallion Case https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002780-milagro-gramz-megan-thee-stallion-lawsuit Mon, 20 Jul 2026 22:29:35 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002780 After a judge denied her request to pause payment, Milagro Gramz is pursuing a new legal strategy to overturn the verdict.

The post Milagro Gramz Seeks To Overturn $75K Judgment In Megan Thee Stallion Case appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A new court filing has shifted the legal fight between Megan Thee Stallion and Milagro Gramz from delaying a judgment to trying to erase it altogether. According to AllHipHop, Milagro Gramz, whose legal name is Milagro Cooper, is asking a federal judge to vacate the $75,000 judgment entered against her following a jury verdict in favor of Megan. Unlike an appeal, which asks a higher court to review a decision, a motion to vacate asks the trial court to set aside its own judgment under limited legal circumstances.

The lawsuit stems from Megan’s 2024 claims that Cooper defamed her and helped spread false narratives in the aftermath of Tory Lanez’s criminal case. This includes the alleged distribution of a deepfake pornographic video depicting the Houston rapper. A federal jury ultimately found Cooper liable on multiple claims and awarded Megan $75,000 in damages.

Gramz Continues To Fight The System…& Megan

Rather than challenging the evidence presented at trial, Cooper’s latest motion focuses on the court itself. She argues the judgment should be set aside because of what she describes as undisclosed conflicts involving Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, the law firm Holland & Knight, and the presiding judge. According to the filing, prior professional relationships involving those parties created an appearance of partiality that warranted disclosure. Megan’s legal team has not publicly responded to the motion.

The filing marks a new approach after Cooper’s earlier request to pause enforcement of the judgment was denied. Last month, she argued she lacked the financial resources to post a bond while pursuing an appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The court rejected that request, finding she had not demonstrated sufficient grounds to stay enforcement of the judgment. For now, Cooper’s appeal remains pending, and the $75,000 judgment stays in effect unless the court grants her latest motion or a court reaches a different conclusion.

Jordan Honors Bam Adebayo’s 83-Point Night With Two PEs https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002782-air-jordan-4028-bam-adebayo-sneaker-news Mon, 20 Jul 2026 22:20:43 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002782 Jordan Brand sent Bam Adebayo two Air Jordan 4028 PEs to celebrate his historic 83-point scoring game back in March.

]]>
Jordan Brand created 2 special Air Jordan 4028 colorways honoring Bam Adebayo’s historic scoring night. Adebayo scored 83 points against the Washington Wizards back in March.

That total became the second-highest single-game scoring mark in NBA history. Only Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game in 1962 stands above it. Adebayo also surpassed Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game from 2006 that night.

Jordan Brand gifted him two pairs after the performance. One comes in the original Black and Neon Green colorway he wore that night. The other swaps those green accents for Infrared detailing instead.

Both pairs include Adebayo’s name printed underneath a translucent, icy outsole. The tongue is embroidered with the date of his record-breaking performance.

The Air Jordan 4028 blends the base of the Air Jordan 40 with elements from the 28. That includes the model’s signature zip-down shroud design. Both PEs stay tied to Adebayo personally for now. Jordan Brand hasn’t confirmed a public release for either colorway.

Still, the standard Black Barely Volt version already has release plans. Reports suggest that pair could arrive sometime later this year. Given the moment’s significance, wider interest in these colorways seems likely. For now, both PEs remain personal keepsakes tied to one unforgettable night.

Bam Adebayo’s Air Jordan 4028

The Air Jordan 4028 mixes design elements from two very different Jordan models. It uses the cushioning and heel counter found on the Air Jordan 40.

Meanwhile, its upper closely mirrors the Air Jordan 28’s zippered shroud design. That shroud can unzip to reveal a stylized “23” branding underneath. Both new PEs keep that same structural setup intact. The Neon Green pair matches the original colorway Adebayo wore during the game.

The Infrared version offers a bolder, more aggressive alternative instead. Small personal touches, like his name and the game’s date, appear on both pairs. Those details tie each shoe directly back to that specific night.

Whether either colorway becomes public remains uncertain for now. Given the moment’s historic weight, demand would likely be strong if they do.

Chris Blake Griffith is currently in the midst of a legal battle against Stefon Diggs. Prior to the legal battle, Griffith had accused Stefon Diggs of being bisexual and of coming on to him without consent. Eventually, Diggs launched a defamation lawsuit against Griffith.

Since that time, Griffith has filed a countersuit, and as a result, a lengthy legal battle has followed suit. In this battle, Griffith alleges he was drugged and that Diggs tried to take advantage of him. Subsequently, he claims Diggs had his brother jump Griffith after having his advances refused.

Last week, Cardi B went to bat for Diggs, stating that Griffith’s story doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. Furthermore, she called the man a “light skin albino lizard.”

This week, Chris Griffith was spotted by TMZ cameras, and a conversation ensued. It was here that Griffith was allowed to respond.

As you will hear in the clip above, Griffith isn’t all that concerned with what Cardi B has to say about him. Instead, he is more focused on winning his court case, and he believes he has a very good shot at doing so. Griffith reiterated some of his talking points from the complaint against Diggs and is confident he will get the desired outcome.

Recently, Griffith submitted 100 pages worth of alleged text messages between himself and Stefon Diggs. These include Instagram messages, as well as text messages.

The case between Griffith and Diggs does not yet have a court date. At this time, the judge is still trying to get both sides to submit exhibits and various forms of evidence. However, it does appear as though a trial could be on the horizon.

Mike Tyson may not be a prize fighter anymore, but he can certainly see potential in athletes. Furthermore, he has done a few exhibition matches, which have put millions of dollars into his pockets.

When you combine these two elements together, you get someone who understands the intricacies of fight promotion. Everyone is a potential boxer, and everyone else is a potential opponent.

On Sunday, Tyson was at the World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina. It was here that he got to speak to the famous streamer, IShowSpeed. During their conversation, Speed revealed that he would love to channel his athleticism into boxing. As for Tyson, he thinks Ray J is the perfect first opponent for the streamer.

“We’ll work it out, we’ll work it out,” said Tyson. “Let’s get you and Ray J in the ring.”

Mike Tyson Talks To IShowSpeed

In their interaction, Speed was a bit confused about whether or not Tyson actually meant the singer. When Tyson confirmed that this was the case, Speed made it crystal clear that he could take him with relative ease.

Throughout his young career on the internet, Speed has showcased some tremendous athleticism. He is someone who can jump over cars and keep up with Gold Medal-winning Olympic sprinters. With that in mind, we could certainly see him becoming a boxer, and a successful one at that.

As for Ray J, his boxing match against Supa Hot Fire was a disaster. Against someone like Speed, we imagine he would lose, and he would do so in truly spectacular fashion.

Whether or not Speed actually pursues boxing remains to be seen. If the World Cup has proven anything, it is that soccer is his one true love.

Chrisean Rock and Blueface have had their fair share of issues with one another over the years. The two have a child together, although as it currently stands, Blue is refusing to claim Chrisean Jr. as his own. This has put considerable distance between the two parents, and Chrisean is understandably fed up.

In the midst of all of this, Blueface is about to have a child with his girlfriend, Nevaeh. This has led to more distance between Blue and Chrisean. However, Chrisean believes there is a solution that can bring an end to their ongoing issues with one another.

It’s a very simple solution, albeit one that we’re not so sure Blueface is going to be a fan of. As Chrisean Rock explains in the video below, all he has to do is claim Chrisean Jr. If he can do that, then the beef is officially over.

Chrisean Rock Wants Blueface Beef To End

Prior to their breakup and Blueface’s incarceration a couple of years ago, the couple was beyond dysfunctional. Every single day, the two were getting into arguments on social media. Meanwhile, their dysfunction was oftentimes filmed as part of a reality series for Zeus Network.

While Blueface and Chrisean Rock remain part of the reality TV sphere, there is no doubt that their relationship dynamic no longer has the same interest from the public that it once did.

Whether or not Blueface ever claims Chrisean Jr., is something that still very much remains to be seen. That said, it is clear that this is a situation that weighs on Chrisean every single day.

The South has now lost two legends this week. Earlier today, we reported on the passing of Atlanta rapper Alley Boy, who died at 42. Now, new reports have emerged announcing the death of Bigga Rankin, a foundational DJ who helped shape the Southern hip-hop circuit. 

His family confirmed his passing in a statement, revealing that he passed away during the early hours of Monday morning (July 20th).

“It is with great sadness that we announce that the patriarch of our family, Billy ‘Bigga Rankin’ Plummer, passed away earlier this morning on July 20th, 2026.

Bigga Rankin’s Legacy

Bigga Rankin’s legacy goes back over 30 years when he began developing a reputation as one of the South’s most respected and trusted tastemakers. Hailing from Jacksonville, FL, he played a crucial role in helping artists elevate their careers, from people like Rick Ross and Plies to Gucci Mane, Jeezy, and T.I. That alone helped him gain recognition as one of the most influential DJs and promoters. Beyond breaking records, he also served as an A&R representative for Think It’s A Game Records. He also became the vice president of Hittmenn DJs. 

His family confirmed that the annual Back to School Community Day hosted through the K.I.N.G. Foundation will continue as scheduled on Aug. 8 at A. Philip Randolph Park in Jacksonville, providing free backpacks, food and activities in honor of his commitment to serving the community.
