Year in and year out it feels like Cardi B is telling her haters to shoo. She always seems to do something that really gets under their skin. For 2025, it’s been her relationship with NFL receiver Stefon Diggs and their pregnancy reveal.

It’s been a toxic mixture of her fans trying to tell her she can do better and her detractors questioning her decision-making. With 2025 coming to a close in just two days, Cardi B is urging her overly concerned supporters and her loudest despisers to move on from being too involved in her business.

In a video to her X captioned, “We need a reset,” the AM I THE DRAMA? femcee says, “Y’all need to calm down… Is y’all cool? Y’all been dragging me for three or four days and y’all been a little too mean.”

She goes on to joke, “I can’t change sh*t… I already had a baby. Y’all want me to put my baby back in my p**sy?”

“I don’t know, what y’all want me to do? Y’all want me to leave my man and f*ck yours? We can only go forward now… 2026 is in a couple of days.”

But not only does she want people to stop harping on her just because, but she’s also wanting it to stop because of how busy she’ll be next year.

Zeus Network Hit With Intense Backlash Over New Docuseries Involving Diddy’s Sons https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/967510-diddys-sons-new-show-zeus-network-hip-hop-news Mon, 29 Dec 2025 20:33:11 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=967510 Justin and Christian Combs' show announcement comes as Diddy remains behind bars after his conviction, earlier this year.

The post Zeus Network Hit With Intense Backlash Over New Docuseries Involving Diddy’s Sons appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy’s sons, Justin Combs and Christian Combs, are getting their own show on Zeus Network. It will follow their lives in Los Angeles amid a period of turmoil for the family while Diddy remains behind bars. He was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, earlier this year.

Zeus Chief Executive Lemuel Plummer made the announcement in a post on social media, as caught by AllHipHop. After doing so, he clarified that the series will not be about Diddy. “To be clear, this documentary is about giving Justin and Christian the opportunity to share their personal story. We’re not here to endorse Diddy or anyone else. As a network, we believe in giving individuals a platform to tell their own experiences, just like any network that enters the documentary space. We’re simply allowing these stories to be told, and that’s the essence of what we’re doing here. Thanks for understanding and for letting us bring these narratives to light,” Plummer said.

Further details as to when fans will be able to watch the series or how many episodes there will be remain unclear. Plummer did, however, post a brief trailer on Instagram.

In response to the trailer, many fans on social media complained about the subject matter. “Lemmy you should’ve left this one alone, 50 bout to have a field day with you,” one user remarked in the comments section. Another wrote: “WTF? Who’s watching TS!?”

Netflix’s “Sean Combs: The Reckoning”

The upcoming Zeus network show appears to be a major departure from the latest viral Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. That series, executive-produced by 50 Cent, premiered on the streaming platform, earlier this month. It examines numerous allegations about the disgraced music mogul and features appearances from numerous celebrities.

Ahead of its release, Diddy’s team labeled it a “hit piece” in a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter.  “Netflix’s so-called ‘documentary’ is a shameful hit piece,” they wrote. “Today’s GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release. As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.”

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian reunited over the holidays to spend Christmas with one another for the sake of their children, according to a new report from TMZ. Sources close to the couple told the outlet that they are being “cordial with each other.”

The source added that West is “really working on himself” after tarnishing his reputation over the last several years by voicing countless antisemitic and extremely offensive beliefs in interviews and on social media.

West previously tried to “take accountability” by sitting down with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, earlier this year. “I was dealing with various issues, I was dealing with bipolar also, so I would take the ideas I had and forget about the protection of the people around me and myself. So I wanted to take accountability,” West said in a video of their meeting, as caught by Billboard. “So it’s like if you left the house and you left your kid at the house and your kid went and messed up the kitchen and messed up the garage and messed up the living room. Then when you get back, it’s your responsibility because that’s your job. That’s the way I look at it. It’s like I gotta go clean up the kitchen, I gotta clean up the living room, I gotta clean up the garage.”

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian’s Relationship

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian welcomed their four children while they were married from 2014 to 2022. In the time since their divorce, their relationship got considerably worse amid West’s social media tirades. Despite spending the holidays together, they are not rekindling their relationship.

The update is still a big change from just a few months ago, when Kardashian said that West hadn’t called their kids in months. “Hmm. Whenever he’ll call them and ask,” Kardashian said on the Call Her Daddy podcast in October. “It’s probably been a couple months since we’ve heard from him?”

The post Top 7 Air Jordans Similar To The “Bloodline” Colorway appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
With the Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline” set to drop soon, we’re taking a look back at the most iconic black and red Air Jordans that share this legendary color combination. The theme has defined Jordan Brand since 1985, representing the bold, aggressive aesthetic that made these sneakers cultural icons.

From the rebellious beginnings of the Banned Jordan 1 to championship moments in sneaker form, black and red colorways have consistently delivered some of the most coveted releases in sneaker history.

Here are the top seven Air Jordans that capture the essence of the “Bloodline” colorway:

7. Air Jordan 1 “Banned”

The Air Jordan 1 “Banned” represents the foundation of the entire black and red legacy in sneaker culture. This iconic colorway debuted in 1985 and violated NBA uniform policies, resulting in fines for Michael Jordan every time he wore them.

The rebellious backstory only amplified the shoe’s mystique and desirability. The premium leather construction features a bold black base with varsity red overlays on the toe, Swoosh, ankle collar, and heel.

White midsoles and red outsoles complete the timeless look. The 2016 and 2020 retro releases brought back the original blocking with improved leather quality.

This colorway laid the groundwork for every “Bred” Jordan that followed, making it essential to any discussion of black and red Jordans. Its cultural significance extends far beyond basketball into fashion and streetwear.

6. Air Jordan 13 “Bred”

The Air Jordan 13 “Bred” is at #6 because it stands as one of the most distinctive black and red combinations in the Jordan lineage. This silhouette draws inspiration from Michael Jordan’s “Black Cat” nickname, featuring design elements that reference a panther’s sleek aesthetic.

The black tumbled leather upper creates a luxurious foundation, while varsity red suede wraps the heel and midsole for bold contrast. The signature holographic reflective eye on the ankle catches light from every angle, adding futuristic flair to the aggressive design.

Red accents also appear on the collar lining and visible Zoom Air unit. The paw-print inspired outsole pattern completes the predatory theme perfectly. Originally released during Jordan’s final championship season in 1997-98, this colorway carries significant historical weight.

The Jordan 13 “Bred” perfectly balances performance heritage with lifestyle appeal, making it incredibly versatile for any sneaker rotation.

5. Air Jordan 11 “Bred”

Coming in at number five on our list, the Air Jordan 11 “Bred” represents elegance within the black and red colorway family. This iconic silhouette revolutionized basketball footwear by incorporating patent leather into its design, creating a formal yet athletic aesthetic.

The glossy black patent leather mudguard wraps around the shoe’s base, contrasting beautifully against the black ballistic mesh upper. Red Jumpman branding on the heel and tongue provides the perfect pop of color against the predominantly dark palette.

The translucent outsole features red accents that tie the entire color scheme together seamlessly. Originally released during the 1995-96 season when Michael Jordan wore them during the historic 72-10 Bulls campaign, the “Bred” 11s carry immense championship pedigree.

The 2012 and 2019 retro releases caused massive retail chaos, with lines wrapping around blocks nationwide. The Jordan 11 “Bred” remains a holiday season staple and continues to be one of the most sought-after releases in sneaker culture.

4. Air Jordan 6 “Infrared”

Securing the 4th spot on our ranking, the Air Jordan 6 “Infrared” brings vibrant energy to the black and red conversation. While technically featuring infrared rather than traditional varsity red, this colorway shares the same aggressive DNA as the “Bloodline” theme.

The premium black nubuck upper creates a luxurious, suede-like texture that elevates the entire design. Bright infrared accents explode across the midsole, heel tab, and lace locks, providing eye-catching contrast against the dark base.

The translucent rubber outsole allows glimpses of the infrared tooling beneath, adding depth to the color story. Originally released in 1991, this silhouette represents Michael Jordan’s first championship season, giving it immense historical significance.

3. Air Jordan 4 “Bred”

Landing at # 3, the Air Jordan 4 “Bred” represents one of the most culturally significant sneakers in Jordan Brand history. This legendary colorway debuted in 1989 and became instantly iconic thanks to its appearance in Spike Lee’s Mars Blackmon commercials alongside Michael Jordan.

The premium black nubuck upper provides a rich, textured foundation that ages beautifully over time. Fire red accents punctuate the eyelets, midsole, Jumpman branding, and tongue, creating perfect visual balance.

Cement grey details on the midsole speckles and wings add sophisticated depth to the aggressive color scheme. The visible Air unit and unique wing eyelets made this Tinker Hatfield design revolutionary for its time. Michael Jordan wore these during the iconic moment against Cleveland.

The 2019 retro release brought back Nike Air branding on the heel, making it the most authentic version since the original. The Jordan 4 “Bred” remains a grail-worthy sneaker that perfectly captures the essence of late-80s basketball culture and sneaker innovation.

2. Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement”

Claiming the second position on our list, the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” stands as a masterpiece of sneaker design and cultural significance. This iconic colorway debuted in 1988.

The premium black tumbled leather upper provides a sophisticated canvas that perfectly complements the grey elephant print overlays. Fire red accents appear on the eyelets and visible Air unit, while red Jumpman branding adorns the tongue and heel.

The elephant print wrapping the toe and heel became one of the most recognizable patterns in sneaker history. This silhouette introduced the Jumpman logo to the Air Jordan line, replacing the Wings logo and creating an iconic symbol.

Michael Jordan’s legendary free-throw line dunk during the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest, while wearing these, cemented their legendary status forever. The 2018 retro release brought back original Nike Air branding on the heel, making it the most authentic version in decades.

1. Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game”

Taking the undisputed number 1 spot, the Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” represents the ultimate look of the black and red colorway in sneaker history. This legendary shoe transcends mere aesthetics to embody one of the greatest performances in basketball history.

On June 11, 1997, Michael Jordan battled severe flu-like symptoms while wearing these during Game 5 of the NBA Finals against Utah. Despite his illness, Jordan scored 38 points and hit the game-winning shot, cementing these sneakers in sports immortality.

The design features luxurious black tumbled leather across the entire upper, creating a sleek and sophisticated foundation. Varsity red textured leather dominates the mudguard and outsole, providing bold contrast that commands attention.

The Jordan 12’s design draws inspiration from the Japanese Rising Sun flag and women’s dress shoes, creating an elegant silhouette. Metal eyelets and quilted leather panels add premium details throughout the construction.

The 2016 and 2023 retro releases caused absolute pandemonium at retailers worldwide. No other black and red Jordan carries the same legendary backstory, historical significance, and visual impact as the “Flu Game” 12s.

d4vd On Track To Be Indicted In Celeste Rivas Case https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/967488-d4vd-possible-indictment-celeste-rivas-murder-crime-news Mon, 29 Dec 2025 19:04:14 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=967488 d4vd was named as a suspect in the murder of teen Celeste Rivas last month, with a second, unidentified suspect also in the mix.

The post d4vd On Track To Be Indicted In Celeste Rivas Case appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
We have a major update to share regarding the mysterious death of teenager Celeste Rivas. Per TMZ, we know that d4vd is likely going to be indicted of murdering the young girl. The outlet discovered this development after learning that the grand jury presiding over this puzzling case is getting ready to hand down indictments soon.

If you can recall, there is an “investigative” grand jury doing work here as well. However, the one that’s been hearing witnesses as of late are the ones responsible for the indictments. TMZ has multiple sources, including prosecutor Beth Silverman, telling them that they strongly believe d4vd is responsible for Rivas’ death.

Speaking of the jury, they questioned Robert Morgenroth, general manager of D4vd’s record label, Mogul Vision, for a few days. Morgenroth is also the president of D4vd’s touring company, Zara Brothers Travel.

It was reported that he was a bit uncomfortable during his testimony.

He specifically was following Beth Silverman’s line of questioning. He stepped out of the courtroom to speak with his lawyer. Morgenroth allegedly said, “She was very pushy on why I didn’t call police. I said I feel like I didn’t have the responsibility to do that and just wanted to continue with the tour.”

But as for the grandy jury’s indictment, “soon” could actually be February instead of just a few days or something.

Sadly, Celeste Rivas’ family will have to remain patient for justice to be fully served.

d4vd, who is also a suspect alongside a second, unidentified person, allegedly had a romantic relationship with the underaged Rivas. Fans believe as much through photos of matching tattoos, song lyrics, and more.

Rivas, who was just 14, was found dismembered inside the trunk of an impounded Tesla back in September that was registered to the WITHERED singer.

The post DJ Akademiks Denies Spreading NBA YoungBoy Rumor Amid Kai Cenat Break Up appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Over the last couple of days, Kai Cenat and Gabrielle “Gigi” Alayah have been the hot topic on social media. Unfortunately, it’s because the couple, which had been together for the last year, is no longer a pair. The streamer shared the sad update on his social media, with his tweet about it spreading like wildfire.

His post that reads, “I’m single I will never be in another relationship again,” currently has 57 million views, 282,000 likes, 40,000 reposts, and 21,000 comments.

But given how massive Kai Cenat is, folks hungry for their 15 minutes are making some explosive rumors about the breakup. One user’s tweet that’s been generating a lot of chatter is that Gigi cheated on Kai Cenat with NBA YoungBoy.

What’s more is that the person behind it connected DJ Akademiks to the rumor. The post reads, “There are some rumors going around that Kia Cenat’s girlfriend Gigi is cheating on him with NBA YoungBoy via Dj Akademiks on his live stream.”

The hip-hop reporter caught wind of this and has firmly denied his involvement in spreading this gossip. In a live stream clip caught by The Shade Room Teens, he denounced it, labeling it “fake” and that the page “just created this.”

Kai Cenat & Gabrielle “Gigi” Alayah Break Up

On top of distancing himself from the post, Akademiks made sure to clear his reputation. “[I] don’t lie about a motherf*cking thing. ‘Cause if I said that I would stand on it and if y’all questioned me I’d show proof.”

He continues, “But I didn’t say that because I don’t know what’s going on. Ever since then I have tried to do some due diligence. But it’s not for me to speak on and I don’t give a f*ck. I’m just here to clear my name.”

However, Ak does feel bad for Kai and Gigi. He got into TSR‘s comments and wrote, “This time I don’t kno wat going on. Pray for black love tho. They our version of Barack and Michele.” 

But what is true is that Alayah and Cenat are through, with the former confirming her ex’s initial post. “I left, now you wanna get on the internet and rush to paint a false narrative about me off a FAKE twitter post is insane. I’ve never cheated on him, and YOU know that. I have never dealt with that man… play that sympathetic role somewhere else, pls.”

It’s unclear if she’s talking to the person(s) spreading the cheating narrative or Kai for trying to get others to claim this. Overall, it’s a sad and messy situation.

Benzino says that his ex, Althea Heart, only recently got out of a mental institution. In a video on Instagram on Monday morning, he addressed her recent rants on social media about their relationship as co-parents. Heart had accused him of refusing to give back their son, Zino.

“She lost these properties and she had a mental breakdown,” Benzino said, as caught by Live Bitez. “She was just released from a mental facility, say like, a week ago. The last five months, she’s purposely kept my 10-year-old out of school. I ain’t seen this woman or been around this woman in seven years. She been left and tried to do her own thing. God bless. I didn’t get involved with none of that.”

Amidst Heart’s posts, she accused Benzino of allegedly cheating on her with Bobby V. In doing so, she shared a series of text messages that appear to be between herself and Benzino. “You was actually f*cking Bobby v.! Please. I tried to love you. And I have my last to provide as a mother so you feel good about me losing My homes,” she wrote in one of the messages, as caught by Complex. As the other person ignored the remark, she reiterated: “So you’re admitting your bi sexuality omg.”

Heart added in the caption: “[Middle finger emoji] everyone who did me dirty in 2025! @bobbyvshow .. now I understand why you was creeping all in my house behind my back!! You #men are #nasty & #dirty.”

“I don’t want to discuss too much about this because this is gonna be in the courts. I’m gonna be taking a lawsuit for defamation of character against this woman that’s defamed my name. I’m also gonna be in court for her for other reasons… It’s sad that this woman has been like this for the world to see forever,” he said.

The post A$AP Rocky Reveals What “Don’t Be Dumb” Will Sound Like appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
In 2018, A$AP Rocky put out his most diverse and risky album to date with TESTING. It certainly lived up to its title and a result; it’s his most divisive body of work. Some praise its randomness, while others believe it lacks cohesion.

For those who aren’t huge fans of Rocky doing this much experimenting, we have some unfortunate news for you. Details of what Don’t Be Dumb will sound like have surfaced and once again, the Harlem native will be trying out different genres and subgenres.

“The 15 track, 2LP vinyl moves through genres the way you’d move through a cityJazz, Hip-Hop, Metal, Indie, R&Beach track capturing a different block, mood, or moment. It’s Rocky in full range.”

This album description comes via Bilt, a loyalty program based in NYC that gives its members incentives for handling their rent and HOA payments on time.

A$AP Rocky partnered with the hometown company to drop an exclusive vinyl for Don’t Be Dumb. It features unique artwork that embodies the spirit of New York. If you are interested click this link.

This partnership isn’t random though. The artist has been supporting Bilt since their inception and was excited to be working alongside them for this album rollout. He also spoke on them making a generous rent donation to the tenants living in his building that will cover their 2026 payments.

“For me, it’s always been about your community and neighborhood. Harlem made me who I am, from uptown to downtown, and that connection to place is everything. When Bilt said they wanted to cover rent for everyone in the same building where I grew up, that hit different. That’s not just business, that’s understanding what community really means.”

He continued, “This vinyl is my love letter to New York, and being able to give back to the exact place that raised me while helping people across the country with their rent is the kind of partnership that actually matters.”

All in all, this a very cool update and one that also brings excitement to Rocky’s long-awaited return. Speaking of which, it will officially commence on January 16. Don’t Be Dumb will officially be 17 tracks long, the last two being on a side B.

Song titles and features have yet to be revealed as of yet. However, in terms of the latter, there are quite a few rumored ones out there. Some are Rihanna, Westside Gunn, J. Cole, Jessica Pratt, KayCyy, and Damon Albarn of Gorillaz.

While Beyoncé has just reached billionaire status, her husband, Jay-Z, hit the mark back in 2019.

Claressa Shields had to make a tough decision this holiday season at her recent Christmas charity event. The superstar boxer booted a homeless woman and her kids, sending them away with no gifts as well. But while some will have knee-jerk reactions to her choice, she claims to have a sound reason for it.

In a series of clips caught by Live Bitez, Claressa Shields explains that the mother had been trolling her online for a while after being a fan of the athlete’s. The 30-year-old claims the woman had called her ugly, said she would spit on her, etc.

Claressa theorizes that the mom started to have disdain for her over a man she dated prior to Papoose. But despite all of the alleged trash talking and blocking her on social media, the woman showed up with her children to Claressa’s giveback event.

Once the boxer discovered she was there, she found her in line and with a smile on her face told her to leave. “‘Don’t even make a big scene, just go,'” Claressa says she told the woman.

She also says she addressed the kids and told them that she had love for them. But since the mom showed up with them, she couldn’t bring herself to at least send them out with presents.

What Is Claressa Shields & Papoose’s Relationship Status?

Claressa admits that she felt bad afterwards. However, once she learned that the woman had been evicted from her home before Thanksgiving, that was reason enough to let “the man upstairs” handle her.

“That’s just karma,” Shields said. “It is not good to come for me when I bust my butt for my family. I really have a close relationship with God and I don’t pray for the downfall of my enemies, but God knows. He said, ‘let him get him.’ And the way that God can get ’em is way better than me.”

While this is not the best thing that could have happened to Claressa, she does still have Papoose by her side.

The couple has been together since late last year, with their relationship becoming public amid a messy split between Papoose and Remy Ma. They have been going strong, with some fans wondering if the rapper actually proposed to her already.

That rumor was sparked by a post of Claressa wearing a nice piece of jewelry on her left ring finger. “Engaged,” the post was captioned. However, the boxer clarified that was from a previous relationship. “Y’all are the slowest mfs ever in the comments [three laughing emojis] digging up old videos. My last relationship I was engaged! PAPOOSE hasn’t proposed YET!”
