Ice Spice Called For Deposition Amid Wig Company Lawsuit https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997786-ice-spice-deposition-wig-company Mon, 08 Jun 2026 15:22:32 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997786 Ice Spice is currently in the midst of a legal battle over some wigs that the artist allegedly never actually paid for.

Ice Spice is currently facing legal issues as TheeBellaBrand LLC looks to sue the artist for $400K. According to a TMZ report, the company accused Ice Spice of refusing to pay for $20,000 worth of wigs. Furthermore, they accuse the artist of roasting the company on social media, thus leading to a loss of business.

Since that time, Ice Spice has attempted to have the lawsuit dismissed. She believes it is overdramatic and an attempt at trying to besmirch her name. However, her attempts to have the suit thrown out have gone up in smoke.

According to Complex, the artist has been called into a deposition. It is during this deposition that Ice Spice will have to answer questions about the lawsuit. As the report indicates, this deposition is set to go down on September 10th in New York.

It has certainly been an interesting time for Ice Spice, who is venturing away from the music side of things as of late. For instance, she recently did an ad campaign with Wendy’s, which was preceded by some sort of weird stunt at a McDonald’s.

Fans have been wondering whether or not she will release more music anytime soon. However, when you look at all of her recent business opportunities, it is clear that music isn’t even necessary these days.

As for the current lawsuit against TheeBellaBrand, this remains a developing story, and we will be sure to keep you updated.

Lord Jamar “Wasn’t That Impressed” By Jay-Z’s Roots Picnic Freestyle https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997796-lord-jamar-jay-z-roots-picnic-freestyle-reaction Mon, 08 Jun 2026 15:20:33 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997796 Lord Jamar has some questions.

The post Lord Jamar “Wasn’t That Impressed” By Jay-Z’s Roots Picnic Freestyle appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Jay-Z’s freestyle at the Roots Picnic last week remains the focal point of hip-hop conversation, but it seems that the more time passes, the more criticism arises. We’ve heard people like Joe Budden criticize Hov for taking shots at Drake. Akademiks alleged that Jay’s targets aren’t sweating his disses, and Dame Dash referred to the reference to Lance “Un” Rivera as corny

Most recently, Lord Jamar sat down with Vlad TV, where he discussed Hov’s recent freestyle, and he seems to be among those who just aren’t buying the hype. “I f*ck with Jay-Z. When I saw the freestyle that he did on stage at the Roots Picnic, I was kind of like, eh,” Lord Jamar said, shrugging his shoulders. “I wasn’t that impressed. I don’t know, it was something about the cadence or something like that.”

However, Jamar seemed largely distracted by Jay-Z’s hair reveal. “Also, I’m like what kind of sorcery have you done where you f*ckin’ took your dreads out and you got this big ass f*ckin’ blowout and shit,” he said. “Maybe that’s the epitome of having bread where you could just pay somebody to just meticulously take out your dreads, you know, one by one.”

When asked whether it’s possible to take out dreads that were as thick as Jay’s, Lord Jamar suggested that Jay’s wealth allows him to afford such a process. “Maybe you can fly in a lady from Zimbabwe with the smallest fingers… or fly in an ill comb from Japan, I don’t know,” Lord Jamar continued. “But was he wearing a wig the whole time? I don’t know.”

How Did Jay-Z Comb Out His Dreads?

According to reports, Jay-Z, who many believed may have shaved off his hair during the Roots Picnic soundcheck, reportedly required four bottles of Cécred. The process reportedly took four days in total, and evidently, that alone has sparked dialogue that has somehow became more prominent than the freestyle itself.

DaBaby Settles With DaniLeigh’s Brother In Bowling Alley Fight Lawsuit https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997783-dababy-danileigh-bowling-alley-fight-lawsuit-settlement Mon, 08 Jun 2026 14:47:23 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997783 One less lawsuit on DaBaby's plate.

The post DaBaby Settles With DaniLeigh’s Brother In Bowling Alley Fight Lawsuit appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
It looks like DaBaby has one less headache on his plate. According to TMZ, the “Suge” rapper settled the lawsuit filed against him by Brandon Bill$, DaniLeigh’s brother, over their altercation at a bowling alley in California. Court documents revealed that a notice of settlement was filed last Thursday that stated the matter will be dismissed in the next 45 days.

Although details of the settlement have not been made public, this particular saga has been well documented over the past few years. Brandon initially asked for $4M in damages after suing DaBaby and the bowling alley for the alleged injuries he sustained during the altercation.

During a deposition, Brandon provided his version of what went down at the bowling alley. He explained that the incident stemmed from DaBaby publicly disrespecting his sister on social media. DaBaby and DaniLeigh share a child together. 

Brandon said that, in response to DaBaby insulting his family, he publicly vowed to fight the rapper if they crossed paths. That ultimately garnered the attention of blogs and hip-hop publications, who reported on his comments. When they actually saw each other, Brandon said that DaBaby approached him and told him, “I just want to slap you up a bit. I just want to slap you around a little bit.” Brandon also testified that DaBaby struck him first, leading to several other members of his entourage joining in. However, DaBaby said that Brandon was the aggressor in this situation.

DaBaby Making A Comeback?

Meanwhile, DaBaby’s seen much success, thanks to the release of his single, “Pop Dat Thang.” The song’s gained steam on social media, making it the second song of his career to top three Billboard charts: Rhythmic Airplay, Rap Airplay, and Hot Rap Songs. An impressive feat for someone who has been cancelled for the better part of the past few years.

Blueface’s Allegations Against Adin Ross Lead To Questions About Brand Risk Promotions https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997778-blueface-adin-ross-chibu-fight-payment Mon, 08 Jun 2026 14:25:29 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997778 Blueface lost his most recent Brand Risk fight against Chibu, and now, he is in a dispute with Adin Ross about money.

The post Blueface’s Allegations Against Adin Ross Lead To Questions About Brand Risk Promotions appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

A few months ago, Blueface lost a boxing match to Chibu. This was part of a Brand Risk Promotions fight put on by none other than Adin Ross. It wasn’t the best fight from Blueface, although he managed to put on a show for the fans.

After the fight, Blueface accused Ross of rigging the match. This led to all sorts of disputes on social media. Blueface eventually claimed he was owed $300K for the match. However, he hasn’t received any of that so far.

He admitted as much during a recent interview with No Jumper. He told Adam that Ross is ducking his payments, although conversations are being had behind the scenes.

“Nope. Still hasn’t came to me,” Blueface said. “They’re doing the negotiating and what not.”

Blueface Is Sick Of Adin Ross

When Ross initially said that Blueface was being fined $100K for not wearing a Rainbet sponsor patch, Blueface clapped back. “Never said how much I was paid, the excuses are becoming evident. [I] was never contracted to wear a patch [and] even if I was fined 100k that’s not even half of what’s owed,” Blueface said at the time.

Ross then returned fire, claiming that Blue had just one job in the fight’s aftermath. “All he had to do was say something like, ‘it wasn’t rigged. Florida State Athletic Commission doesn’t rig their fights.’ I gave him 72 hours to fix this he didn’t. You’re the first fighter in Brand Risk history [I’ve] ever struggled paying,” Ross stated.

Brand Risk Promotions has come under fire in the past. For instance, the Ray J and Supa Hot Fire situation has also created some discourse about the legitimacy of the fights. With betting companies involved, fans are always going to assume there is some sort of conflict of interest at play.

While Ross denies the match-rigging allegations, the questions are going to persist, especially with Blueface’s latest comments in mind.

Bianca Censori Celebrates Kanye West’s Birthday With Provocative Shower Photo https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997774-bianca-censori-kanye-west-birthday-shower Mon, 08 Jun 2026 13:48:24 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997774 Bianca Censori and Kanye West have been together for a few years now, and it's clear the love is still there.

The post Bianca Censori Celebrates Kanye West’s Birthday With Provocative Shower Photo appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Bianca Censori and Kanye West’s relationship has always been a bit controversial. For a couple of years, Censori and Ye could be seen out and about, with Censori sporting a nearly nude outfit. Some felt as though this was exploitative and downright abusive. Others just weren’t happy about the indecent exposure of it all.

These days, Ye and Censori have been keeping a low profile. West is attempting to make a comeback, while Censori continues to support him from a distance. On Monday, however, Censori made sure to celebrate Ye as he celebrated his 49th birthday.

In fact, Censori used one raunchy image, in particular, to display her love for Ye. As you can see below, the two are tongue-kissing in the shower. Censori captioned the image, “ride or die 4ever.”

Bianca Censori Celebrates Ye On His 49th Birthday

Censori then went on to post a few other photos of Ye, with the caption, “I love you more than life.” Clearly, these two are still very much in love, despite everything that has happened over the past few years.

While Ye’s life and career have remained turbulent at times, Censori has been there for him. She has been the one source of stability, which is sometimes all someone needs to get back on track.

While Ye remains controversial, his comeback has been interesting to watch. He has apologized for his past actions, although for many, these apologies have not been enough. Given his past remarks, it’s understandable that people are hesitant to grant 100 percent forgiveness.

Ye remains one of hip-hop’s greatest artists. However, his actions have put him on the outside looking in. While fans still listen to his albums, they are no longer events like DONDA or even The Life of Pablo. Whether or not that ever changes remains to be seen.

Adam22 Reveals Whether Or Not He And Lena The Plug Faked Their Divorce https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997769-adam22-truth-behind-lena-the-plug-divorce Mon, 08 Jun 2026 13:24:06 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997769 Last week, Lena The Plug allegedly filed for divorce from Adam22, although things took a turn when it was revealed to be fake.

The post Adam22 Reveals Whether Or Not He And Lena The Plug Faked Their Divorce appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Adam22 and Lena The Plug have been together for almost a decade and have been married for three years. They even have a five-year-old child together, further solidifying their commitment to one another.

Last week, however, a divorce was filed with Lena’s name on it. This led to widespread confusion and discourse on social media. Many assumed it was real until DJ Akademiks suggested it might be fake, or perhaps a stalker.

Lena The Plug eventually came out and confirmed as much, saying that a crazy stalker was behind the filing. This subsequently led to some accusations that perhaps the couple faked their own divorce, and that they were the ones behind it.

Over the weekend, Adam22 responded to those claims. He revealed that it was, indeed, a stalker who filed the claim. They had nothing to do with it. However, they did take advantage of the situation by pretending it was real for a couple of days. For them, the ensuing promo was worth it.

Adam22 Gives His Take

“We didn’t fake a divorce,” Adam22 explained. “I was at work with Lena when I got this text. She knew it had to be this crazy stalker filing the paperwork with forged signatures right away. She wanted to debunk it immediately but said we should let it ride and get a ton of free promo for a couple days first.”

Needless to say, this is yet another internet hoax that will have you wondering if anything you read is real. One also has to wonder what the motivations would be for a stalker to do such a thing.

Either way, Adam and Lena are still together. If you’re one of the few people with stock in the relationship, then you should breathe a whole lot easier at night.

BLP Kosher initially went viral thanks to his clever wordplay and quotable bars. His unique look also helped his virality. Since those early years, BLP Kosher has continued to grow his fanbase. He has been switching up his sound, all while keeping those elements that initially made him so famous. This can be heard on the new track, “Digital Footprint.” Overall, this is a song that contains some sharp production, all while Kosher provides a more subdued and traditional performance. However, the clever wordplay is still there. You can’t help but wonder where his growth will go next.

OG Anunoby Makes NBA History In A Pair Of Skechers https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997760-og-anunoby-skechers-sneaker-news Mon, 08 Jun 2026 01:52:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997760 OG Anunoby just became the first player to ever wear Skechers in the NBA Finals, and he's balling out at the same time.

The post OG Anunoby Makes NBA History In A Pair Of Skechers appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
OG Anunoby became the first player ever to wear Skechers in the NBA Finals. The New York Knicks forward made that history while facing the San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 Finals. Anunoby officially signed a deal with Skechers in the summer of 2025.

He wore the SKX Nexus in a blue, black, and white colorway during the series-clinching win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on May 25. Then, ahead of Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, Skechers revealed something new. Anunoby debuted the “Foreman” SKX Reign, a player-exclusive style inspired by Timberland work boots, during Game 3 of the Finals.

The Foreman features a wheat-colored upper, two-tone boot laces woven into the shoe, and a gum rubber outsole. Skechers designed it as a nod to New York City and Anunoby’s on-court approach. The Timberland reference is unspoken but obvious to anyone familiar with NYC sneaker culture.

Skechers entered the performance basketball market for the first time in October 2023. Getting a player to the Finals in under three years is a notable milestone for the brand.

Since signing with Skechers, Anunoby averaged 19.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists during the 2026 playoffs. The brand’s visibility has grown alongside his postseason run, and the Finals stage puts Skechers basketball in front of its biggest audience yet.

OG Anunoby x Skechers

Skechers entering the NBA performance space is still relatively new. The brand only launched its basketball line in late 2023, so landing a player in the Finals this quickly is a significant moment for the category.

The SKX Reign is their performance basketball silhouette, and the Foreman PE takes that base and builds a story around it. The wheat colorway and boot lace construction directly reference the Timberland 6-Inch, which has been a New York cultural staple for decades.

Skechers framing it around Anunoby’s work ethic gives the shoe a clear narrative. The SKX Nexus, which he wore earlier in the playoffs, is a different model with a cleaner, more traditional look. Together, the two shoes show Skechers building out a real basketball lineup, not just a one-off signature situation.

The post Tee Grizzley Picks Up Ultra-Rare Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Skeleton appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Tee Grizzley recently picked up a new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak with a skeletonized dial. The piece combines rose gold and titanium in a two-tone construction. According to what was shared alongside the watch, only 39 of these exist in the world.

The rapper posted photos of the unboxing, showing the watch fresh out of its AP presentation box. The openworked dial puts the internal movement on full display.

You can see the gears and bridges through the front, which is the whole point of a skeleton build. The rose gold case pairs with titanium on the bracelet links, giving the watch a mixed-metal look.

Tee Grizzley has worn Audemars Piguet watches before, and the Royal Oak is a consistent choice in his collection. The Royal Oak skeleton models sit at a different level than the standard AP lineup. The openworked construction requires more finishing work and typically comes in tighter production runs.

A production run of 39 pieces puts this specific reference in rare territory. Most standard Royal Oak references produce in the thousands. Getting one often comes down to your relationship with the brand.

Tee Grizzley Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has been a staple in hip-hop for decades. The skeletonized version takes that further by removing material from the movement to reveal the mechanical internals.

AP calls this openworking, and it adds serious finishing time to the build process. The rose gold and titanium combination is not something AP does across their standard lineup, which makes this reference stand out.

AP has been in the cultural conversation a lot lately. Earlier this year, the brand teamed up with Swatch on the Royal Pop Collection, a line of eight pocket watches that drew from the original 1972 Royal Oak design.

That collab brought AP to a broader audience. But a 1-of-39 skeleton piece like Tee Grizzley’s sits at the other end of that spectrum entirely. This is AP at its most exclusive.
