50 Cent’s completed look as Balrog for the upcoming Street Fighter movie has been revealed courtesy of the official trailer. Per Bleacher Report, the extended first look at the project hit the internet yesterday, April 16.

It’s also here that we learn when it will be hitting theaters. For those looking to catch it, circle October 16 on your calendars. Kitao Sakurai is sitting in the director’s chair and is leading a loaded cast. 50 Cent will be joined by WWE icons Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, with the former portraying Guile and Reigns playing Akuma.

Other notable names include New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Hirooki Goto as E. Honda and Jason Momoa as Blanka. Noah Centineo will play Ken, Andrew Koji is Ryu, Callina Liang is Chun-Li, and Andrew Schulz will star as Dan Hibiki.

As for the plot, the focus is a global fighting tournament put together by M. Bison and his nefarious organization Shadaloo. Martial artists from all over show up to compete and throw down in intense one-on-one battles.

Per Deadline, the footage for this film debuted at CinemaCon in Las Vegas yesterday. It was the last day for the event, which kicked off on Monday, April 13 at Caesars Palace.

50 Cent Hulu Documentary

Overall, the trailer presents what looks to be a fun, bold, and colorful movie that’s sure to rack up numbers at the box office. From the character designs to the acting, it seems like everyone had fun being a part of this.

That includes 50 Cent, who drops a funny line deeper into the trailer. Fif was cast as Balrog, who’s known for having a selfish personality, last summer. He’s been in the gym training to get his body right and it looks like he went all out to perfect the look of the Street Fighter character.

This trailer arrives on the heels of him signing a lucrative deal with Hulu for them to release a three-part documentary about his career. As TMZ reports, it will retell how he went “from the streets of Queens to global cultural dominance.” Reportedly, the deal was $75 million.

What Is Drake’s “PROJECT BOT”? https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/990139-what-is-drake-project-bot Fri, 17 Apr 2026 15:00:03 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=990139 A massive controlled explosion in Toronto caused a commotion over Drake's supposed "PROJECT BOT" shoot in the city.

The post What Is Drake’s “PROJECT BOT”? appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A lot of Drake news as of late came from sources outside or close to his circle rather than from the 6ix God himself, so it’s nice to get some confirmation. He recently seemed to claim responsibility for a massive Toronto explosion that happened last night (Thursday, April 16), and it’s all tied to “PROJECT BOT.”

For those unaware, as caught by Kurrco on Twitter, officials reportedly confirmed the huge and controlled blast was part of a production shoot in the area. Per a filming notification, “PROJECT BOT” is the name of the film project the explosion was coordinated for. As such, many fans assume this is for a music video for Drake’s highly anticipated new album ICEMAN.

But the theories go further. Some believe the “PROJECT BOT” title refers to allegations of botting, manipulation, and coordinated hate campaigns the Drizzy camp levied at Kendrick Lamar and others in the aftermath of their beef. Others think this is an irrelevant placeholder title that won’t have much to do with the final product. In any case, it seems like the project is right around the corner.

Did Drake Drop ICEMAN?

Drake still hasn’t officially confirmed ICEMAN‘s release date. But this joins other recent rollout strategies that amplified hope for a quick turnaround. For example, his court-side seats at the Toronto Raptors’ arena recently emerged as frozen for the NBA team’s last home game. Furthermore, it seems like we might get the full-length very soon.

Then again, that’s what many die-hards thought would happen this week. Recent reports and claims from various sources made fans hope for a drop today (Friday, April 17). But just like previous rumors, these did not manifest into anything. At least hardcore listeners got their fill with this controlled explosion.

Now, all eyes are on the Toronto superstar as these and other moves build momentum. “PROJECT BOT” might have a specific meaning, or it could just be a placeholder title fans are speculating too much over. In any case, it goes to show the hype behind ICEMAN. We’ll see if the final product is worth all the teasing, waiting, and speculating so far.

Young Thug Calls Out N3on Over Suggestive Iggy Azalea Lyrics https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/990134-young-thug-calls-out-n3on Fri, 17 Apr 2026 14:55:28 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=990134 During a recent livestream with N3on, Young Thug made his loyalty to his collaborator Playboi Carti apparent.

Young Thug recently linked up with N3on for a livestream, where he made his loyalty to Playboi Carti known. At one point in the stream, the internet personality decided to play his new song for the rapper. The song features some suggestive lyrics about Iggy Azalea, with whom N3on has streamed in the past. Iggy has one child with her ex, Playboi Carti, and the two of them are no longer on good terms.

The lyrics gave Young Thug pause. “Carti is like a really good friend of mine. You can’t play that to me. Now I’ve got to call him and ask if it’s okay to continue,” he explained, as seen in a clip shared by @scrubaryan_. “Why would you say that about his baby mother? That’s his kid’s mother.”

N3on was quick to defend himself, shifting the blame to none other than DDG. According to him, the rapper-turned-streamer wrote the song for him, and he played no part in the writing process.

New Young Thug Snippet

Checking streamers is far from all that’s keeping Young Thug busy these days. He’s also currently working on some new music, which he previewed in a snippet dropped shortly after his performance at Coachella. The snippet earned mixed reactions from listeners. While it has some more eager than ever to hear what’s to come, others feel like it left a lot to be desired.

This includes DJ Akademiks, who shared his unfiltered take on the upcoming track during a recent livestream.

“We love you. I think you’re one of the greatest artists that has ever come out of Atlanta. This is not based on hate, but right now, n***a, you must be Stevie Wonder because you can’t hit a motherf*cking thing. You seem blind. That ain’t it,” he declared at the time. “He dropped a snippet. This sh*t was garbage. I know Charleston White can’t see in one eye. Young Thug can’t hear in one ear.”

Kodak Black has always taken to social media to respond to criticisms of him and Internet narratives, even when they don’t directly concern him. Following the reported arrest of one of the mothers of his children, Jammiah Catera Broomfield (the mother of his son King Khalid), he reportedly had something to say about his relationship with the mothers of his kids.

According to WPLG Local 10 News, Fort Lauderdale police reportedly arrested Broomfield and booked her into the Paul Rein Detention Facility on Tuesday (April 14), per online jail records. The 28-year-old reportedly faces methamphetamine trafficking, driving with a suspended or revoked license, probation violation, and resisting an officer without violence charges.

She was reportedly out on bond and awaiting trial following a grand theft charge when the Tuesday arrest occurred. Police reportedly recognized Broomfield’s vehicle as one that had escaped officers before. She reportedly drove erratically while evading them, eventually getting out of her vehicle and running away. After officers caught up with Broomfield and arrested her, she now has a hold out on Pal Beach County and remains in custody.

As for the “Love Me Not” rapper, he reportedly took to his Instagram Story to react to this, as caught by Livebitez on IG. He shared a message calling for Jammiah’s freedom while also dismissing the criticisms of his relationship dynamics, sharing a screenshot of texts referring to alleged payments to them.

Kodak Black’s Kids

“SMH FREE MY BM AGAIN!” Kodak reportedly wrote. “I POSTED THAT SCREENSHOT OF THE RANDOM ‘EXTRA’ MONEY I JUST SENT THEY A** ‘ONLY’ TO THINK AHEAD OF THE TROLLING SHE GET. SIMPLY DUE TO ME BEING A GREAT FATHER AND ALWAYS SETTING THE EXAMPLE REGARDLESS IF ITS INTIMACY OR NOT !!! EVEN WHEN MY BM’zz HATE ME REAL BAD I STEP. ON CHILD SUPPORT AND ALL NEVER COMPLAINED OR UNDERVALUED BY FAM. BUT AGAIN THE THANKS IS NEVER AS LOUD AS THE DISRESPECT.”

Yak allegedly wrote about sending Jammiah $10K, $15K to Daijanae Ward (mother of his daughter Princess Isabella Ann), and $20K to Shanice. He also shared various photos of his children and one of the mothers of his kids.

For those unaware, the Florida artists has five children by four different women at press time. In addition to King Khalid and Princess Isabella Ann, he also had Queen Yuri and Prince with Maranda Johnson and Prince Vulture Octave Kapri.

Iggy Azalea Takes Shots At Gio Ramos Amid Playboi Carti Tensions https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/990091-gio-ramos-iggy-azalea-twitter-exchange-playboi-carti Fri, 17 Apr 2026 13:56:13 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=990091 Iggy Azalea posted a cryptic tweet amid Gio Ramos' issues with Playboi Carti, and it sparked a tense back-and-forth exchange.

The post Iggy Azalea Takes Shots At Gio Ramos Amid Playboi Carti Tensions appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Iggy Azalea doesn’t have much love, if none at all, for Playboi Carti these days. From what she’s said in recent years, the Australian content creator is raising their child, Onyx, completely on her own. While she’s refrained from talking about him for the most part, she had to after getting under his current girlfriend’s skin. That would be influencer and model, Gio Ramos.

It started with a simple tweet from the former femcee as caught by Kurrco. “Lol…,” was apparently all it took for Gio Ramos to enter the chat. The latter would clap back with, “man idk why that yt lady laughing wtf [two laughing emojis].”

Azalea would then respond, “Note to self: don’t make vague posts anymore. Main character syndrome is real.”

That appeared to end the mini back-and-forth between the two women, but a message was made. These two do not like each other in the slightest. Or at least Gio has a problem with Iggy now. It seems that “Fancy” hitmaker wasn’t trying to stir anything up. But with social media being its own beast, it looks like Iggy is going to be much more direct the next time she makes a post.

It’s important to note that the latter’s cryptic post was made shortly after Gio went nuclear on the MUSIC artist. In a handful of Instagram Story posts, she threatened to expose him and unleash a lot of his unreleased material.

Gio Sounds Off On Playboi Carti

“You met your match b*tch,” she wrote in one post. “I play with a lot of things but with a b*tch a*s n**** ain’t never been the case,” She would continue her explosive rant elsewhere. “You lanky b*tch you. On my dead granny grave you won’t know rest until I’m dead. Call whoever on me. I’m just getting started.”

Gio Ramos also gave Carti an 11:00 a.m. deadline to respond to her posts before causing even more of raucous. But it appears that he did make amends with his alleged girlfriend.

During a stream with N3on a couple days after her explosive messages, she revealed that she backed out from leaking his music. “He answered me, so I’m not going to… I would never,” she said. Gio then implored the streamer’s fans to chill out and that she just had to release some emotional tension. “I was mad y’all, let that go,” she added.

In September, the remains of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas were discovered in the trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to D4vd. The teen had been missing since the previous year, and her cause of death has yet to be determined. Authorities are treating it as a homicide, and yesterday (April 16), an arrest was finally made.

D4vd was escorted out of his Hollywood home and booked into the LAPD 77th Street Station Jail at about 10 p.m. on suspicion of murder. He’s being held without bail. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office says they’ll “review the facts and evidence to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to file charges.”

His attorneys tell TMZ that “the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death.” They also claim there’s “no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed.” They promise to “vigorously defend David’s innocence.”

News of D4vd’s arrest comes after officials cleared up some rampant rumors about the case in November. Los Angeles Police Captain Scot Williams confirmed that Rivas’ body was not frozen or decapitated.

“Celeste’s body was not frozen. She was not decapitated. The whole frozen thing doesn’t even make sense. Her body was in the car for weeks,” he told People.

Earlier this year, multiple members of D4vd’s family were ordered to testify in the case before a Los Angeles court. Both of his parents and his brother are fighting the subpoenas, alleging that their due process rights are being violated. They’ve not commented publicly on D4vd’s arrest.

Slap box to the Glock, turned a stab wound to a shot
