Ray J has been going through the ringer as of late, whether it’s a hospital stay due to a boxing knockout or his conflicts with other celebrities. While at a party with Adrien Broner, Deen The Great, and others that Deen livestreamed on Kick, he got into a fight with Symba that forced security to step in.

In a clip from the altercation caught by No Jumper on Instagram, you can see Ray approach Symba while Adrien tried to push him away, and Symba tried to get closer to him. “Don’t get r**ed tonight,” Ray barked at him while security stepped in. Deen questioned what the fight was about, and folks in the vicinity looked around and tried to calm things down. “You’s a c**k-sucker, n***a,” Ray exclaimed. “I want to kill him with kindness,” he told Broner.

Then, Symba left the house, and later on, while they were both in the house, they talked about taking their issues outside. Symba called him a “sucker” and said he isn’t worried about him, seemingly taunting Ray J for ducking smoke. Deen The Great encouraged folks to crash out if it was necessary.

Things got more tense with security and a few other individuals, with onlookers telling everyone to relax. Later on, Deen asked what happened between them, and apparently Ray said some disrespectful things to Symba that led things to heat up.

Ray J & Symba Fight

We will see if this conflict between Ray J and Symba gets another chapter or if this was just a one-off confrontation. They hurled insults at each other and seemed ready to throw down, so maybe they will have more exchanges online or in person. Fans hope things don’t go farther than this.

Elsewhere, Ray J is dealing with his boxing fallout, as his unsuccessful match with Supa Hot Fire is still under investigation. He’s angry with Adin Ross and his Brand Risk company for how they have handled the whole situation.

Meanwhile, for frequent viewers of Deen The Great’s livestreams with Adrien Broner and others, this ruckus should come as no surprise. They and others often get into antics and confrontations while streaming, and we can only wonder what will happen next.

Drake Will Executive Produce K-OS’ Next Album https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997517-drake-executive-produce-k-os-next-album Fri, 05 Jun 2026 19:00:57 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997517 Before Drake was the face of Toronto hip-hop, K-OS was one of his inspirations and early collaborators as a Canadian legend.

Drake just dropped his new ICEMAN trilogy, and he’s already taking the next step for another major Toronto hip-hop release. Canadian legend K-OS is dropping a new album in the future. The 6ix God will reportedly executive produce the project.

As caught by keep6ixsolid on Twitter, Amir Ali reportedly got in contact with the 54-year-old icon, who spoke about getting a bag from the OVO mogul. According to K-OS, The Boy basically said, “I’m going to give you this money to go make a record. But please make a K-OS record.”

“Sometimes it takes your younger brother or someone who was witnessing you more in that stage of, ‘Oh my God, you’re amazing,’ for them to point out things you were doing that you forgot about,” the Toronto native reportedly added. As far as a release timeline or other details, fans are still pretty in the dark.

For those unaware, Drake and K-OS have various collabs. They specifically worked together on the latter’s “Faith” part one and two tracks in the early 2010s. Beyond that, they have shown each other a lot of creative and financial support and admiration, a dynamic that will hopefully yield even more great music coming soon.

Drake’s Toronto Ties

Funnily enough, though, Drake’s relationship to Toronto recently came under fire. Or rather, The Breakfast Club had an unexpected moment with a female caller from the city who claimed he’s never done anything for it.

“He’s not as popular as y’all think, by the way,” the woman expressed, which TBC pushed back on. “Not everybody in Toronto loves that man as much as everybody says. If you actually Google him, he’s never done anything for Toronto.”

Of course, celebrities as big as the Toronto superstar get hate even from their hometown. But in the same way, folks can’t deny how he championed his city and continues to do great things for it, even with some alleged asterisks.

Even Toronto’s Mayor Olivia Chow is a Drake fan, so even the government is behind his work. Now, he can repay a legend like K-OS’ influence by helping him with his next adventure, and so Toronto hip-hop can remain on the map.

The city of Toronto loves their superstar Drake, but no artist gets that massive without attracting some haters, even those that are in-house. The Breakfast Club recently received a surprise when a woman from the 6ix called in to criticize the 6ix God and downplay his standing and popularity with the city.

As caught by 6ixBuzzTV on Twitter, Charlamagne Tha God joked that someone from OVO may have made a call to get them off the air once they started speaking about Drake. “He’s not as popular as y’all think, by the way. Just to let you all know,” the female caller expressed.

TBC pushed back, pointing to the OVO mogul’s commercial success. “I’m a hater, but I can’t lie,” Charlamagne joked.

“No, no, listen. In Toronto, he’s not as big as you guys think he is,” the woman continued. “Not everybody in Toronto loves that man as much as everybody says. If you actually Google him, he’s never done anything for Toronto. He’s never donated money to a hospital, he’s never helped the homeless, he’s never helped the poverty school. He’s never done anything for Toronto. Except at a basketball game. If you actually look it up.”

The cohosts refrained from chiming in too hard, as they are not from Toronto. But we’re sure plenty of locals will have a lot to say, as they are already debating online.

Toronto Mayor Praises Drake

This is also a pretty ironic conversation given recent remarks about Drake from Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. “Thank you my crodi Crolivia Chow! ICEMAN 2026,” he wrote in a notepad. The Toronto superstar had filmed parts of his ICEMAN livestream at Chow’s office.

“Drake has done so much for the city,” she said of him during a broadcast interview with CityNews. “The world was watching, and he’s making us proud… Think about how many people, outside Toronto, are watching [the ICEMAN rollout]. It’s a promotion for the city and his music. It’s not just Canadians, it’s worldwide.”

Elsewhere, Drake’s Toronto connection comes up in other ways. DJ Akademiks recently peddled the idea that Kendrick Lamar sent police to his house during Kendrick’s Toronto concert.

Drake’s back in demand these days. After suffering a defeat to Kendrick Lamar in 2024 and spending the entirety of 2025 trying to turn his loss into a legal war, he came back with the release of ICEMAN and two other albums that have undoubtedly reshaped his public image for the better. However, even throughout the beef, it wasn’t like people weren’t trying to get a verse from him. Yung Miami, specifically, attempted to get Champagne Papi on a record, but the timing just wasn’t right.

Miami recently revealed that she attempted to get Drake to jump on her song, “Take Me To Chanel” during an appearance on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday podcast.

“​​I was trying to get Drake… on the song,” the “Spend Dat” rapper said during the interview. “Like, I remember DMing him, but that’s at the time when he was going through all his shit. And when people are going through their shit, like, I get it. I understand. It’s just like, ‘I gotta focus on me right now,’ because these people trying to take me out. I can understand that, so I didn’t take it personally.”

Drake didn’t flat out ignore her, though. He just didn’t respond in the way she wanted. 

“I was like, Drake, I think you would sound good on ‘Take Me to Chanel,’” she remembered telling him in the message. “ He just liked the message. I’m like, come on now, don’t do that, Drake. Don’t do that now. Because, when you called me, I was there. But nah, I fuck with Drake. I understand.”

Yung Miami Makes A Second Attempt To Get A Drake Verse

Dame Dash is back with a new The Art Of Dialogue interview unpacking his long-standing beef with Jay-Z. The former Roc-A-Fella executive already responded to Jay’s Roots Picnic freestyle disses against him, and now he’s taking issue with Hov bragging about stabbing Lance “Un” Rivera during the verse.

I really get under skin, ask Un how I’m playing,” he rapped last weekend, presumably against Kanye West. In response, Dame told his understanding of that infamous story, claiming it was over Biggie’s girlfriend Charli Baltimore. Jay and Un allegedly got with Baltimore following Big’s death, and Dash claims this is the root of the 1999 incident.

“Is that not the corniest s**t in the world?” Dame Dash asked. “Of all the things to stab a n***a over, over Biggie’s girl is crazy. And I had to deal with this dumb s**t. My crew was like, ‘Yo, these n***as is corny.’ It was a lot of other bulls**t behind it. But it’s corny… Is that not scumbag s**t? You’re a fan of a n***a that would f**k his best friend’s girl when he dies? This is your mans. Go ask Un. They was both hitting it, pillow-talking to each other. It was so corny… After we just did “Hard Knock Life.” That’s corny, right? It looks like a guy with a stupid afro and no mustache when he’s 60 would do some dumb s**t like that. That’s exactly the type of s**t this dude used to do. And I used to have to still pretend he was cool.”

Charli Baltimore Speaks Out

For those unaware, the story of Jay-Z and Lance “Un” Rivera is the subject of heated debate. One possible explanation is this Charli Baltimore connection, whereas another is that Jay was angry with Un for allegedly bootlegging his Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter album for sale before its official release.

Charli Baltimore claimed in the past that Un has changed his story a lot over time, at some points claiming it wasn’t Hov who stabbed him. We will see if she reacts to these recent heated discussions about the infamous 1999 confrontation.

Kanye West’s Tampa Concert Facing Cancellation Threats By Florida Senator https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997484-kanye-west-tampa-concert-cancelled-florida-senator Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:50:30 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997484 Senator Rick Scott doesn't think Ye should be welcomed in Florida.

Cancel culture exists across the spectrum–don’t let them fool you into thinking it isn’t a bipartisan tactic to silence people. Kanye West has been in the crosshairs of cancel culture from both the left and the right in his career, and that hasn’t changed with any apology or attempt at accountability. 

The rapper has been trying to regain his footing in an attempt to tour again. He’s faced pushback in Europe and in the U.S. According to WFLA, Senator Rick Scott has pushed for the Raymond James Stadium operators in Tampa to cancel the show. This is largely due to Ye’s praise of Nazis and Hitler.

“West’s remarks are vile and a slap in the face to our state’s Jewish community,” Scott wrote. “It is troubling that a stadium supported by taxpayer dollars would openly subsidize an event led by an artist known for pushing this dangerous, hateful rhetoric, especially with Florida having one of the largest Jewish populations in our country.”

Ye’s performance in Tampa this month will mark his first time performing in the city since 2016. Although Scott feels as though Ye doesn’t have a place to perform in Florida, the people living in that state probably don’t feel the same way. The demand for his June 26 show was so high that another date was added on June 29.

Rick Scott Wants To Ban Kanye

Ahead of sending this message to the Raymond James Stadium, Scott made his issues with Ye clear on X. “Kanye West’s repeated antisemitic remarks are vile and unacceptable,” he wrote. “Antisemitism is plaguing this country, and he has been a big part of the problem for years. He doesn’t deserve a stage to spread his hate anywhere, especially Florida.”

It seems unlikely that Ye’s upcoming show will get cancelled, especially since efforts elsewhere in the world have failed. Sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Joe Budden Reacts To Latto Disproving His Drake Ghostwriting Claims https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997469-joe-budden-reacts-latto-disproving-drake-ghostwriting-claims Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:20:47 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997469 "The Joe Budden Podcast" discussed musical influence, artistic camaraderie, and creative processes in relation to Latto and Drake.

The post Joe Budden Reacts To Latto Disproving His Drake Ghostwriting Claims appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Joe Budden recently suggested that Drake may be writing for Latto, a claim that she already shut down in her music. But she recently disproved Budden’s assumption by posting a picture of a whiteboard she wrote her lyrics on, which he responded to on his self-titled podcast.

As caught by Stag on Twitter, Budden’s cohosts teased him for Big Mama’s clap-back, with Sasha positing he was talking about her flow and not her actual bars. Parks and the crew also joked about never seeing an MC write verses on a whiteboard before, but they affirmed everyone has their own creative process.

As for Joe Budden’s specific response, he said he’s not trying to be funny, acknowledging that somebody not writing their raps is a “heavy accusation.” But he said he never meant to specifically accuse Latto of this, counting down her previous prowess. Rather, Budden spoke on “listening to somebody so much that their influence kind of rubs off on you when you write. She could really listen to Drake 24/7 and loves that flow so much that now, when she writes, that’s what’s happening. I wasn’t trying to say she don’t write her s**t.”

In addition, he recalled when he was mainly a rapper, trying his best not to hear other rappers due to that risk of influence and inspiration. Ish praised the Atlanta-based femcee and pointed out how the 6ix God has been “the biggest artist of her lifetime,” being a north star. In fact, he even pointed out how, prior to Drake and Joe Budden’s beef, The Boy took inspiration from the Slaughterhouse lyricist.

Joe Budden Responds To Latto

The JBP pointed out how Drake inspires and influences many other rappers, so specifically dogging on Latto for this is disingenuous. “Latto, I’m sorry,” Budden said. “I wasn’t trying to imply that, I wasn’t trying to play with your pen like that. I get how it sounded like that. So my bad.”

We will see if there’s another chapter in this saga or if this is the end of the road. Latto has other Big Mama narratives to worry about, whether it’s her diss towards Cardi B or her relationship with 21 Savage.

The post Adam22 & Sauce Walka’s BM Link-Up Amid Divorce Rumors & Drake Drama  appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Although we have been blessed with some great music this week, the major headlines largely relate to Sauce Walka. If you don’t know, the Houston rapper’s feud with Drake reached a boiling point after the mother of Sauce’s child, Kylie Lossen, was revealed to be dealing with the Canadian rapper. This reportedly included Drake purchasing a Maybach for her. 

The beef, however, centered around Adam22 and Wack100’s conversation on Sauce Walka and Drake’s supposed conflict over Lossen. Sauce ended up calling out Adam22, as well, and that only caused the No Jumper founder to fire back in his own way. 

“When one door closes, another one opens,” he captioned his latest Instagram post, a photo of himself posing on set with Lossen, who’s subtly rocking some OVO merch. 

It seems inevitable that a tell-all interview will come out of this, but it also comes at a particularly interesting time for Adam22. The podcast host made headlines earlier this week after reports emerged that his wife, Lena The Plug, filed for divorce and asked the court for legal custody of their child.

Did Lena The Plug File For Divorce From Adam22?

It turns out that she didn’t actually file for divorce after all, and the entire thing was a hoax. After Lena and Adam22 joked about it on social media, she later issued a statement that debunked the false headlines, revealing that a stalker actually filed it on her behalf. 

“About a month ago, I opened my mailbox and discovered that someone had been repeatedly attempting to file for divorce on my behalf using forged signatures. It was incredibly unsettling,” she wrote on Instagram. “I became even more concerned when I realized the name on the filing matched the same person who had previously requested multiple wellness checks on me. Based on guidance from law enforcement, I filed a police report for identity theft.”

She revealed that it didn’t actually stop anything from happening and that the filing was eventually accepted. “For anyone wondering: I am not getting divorced. I love my husband, and I love our life together,” she continued. “My genuine belief is that the person responsible thinks they are helping me because they have been misled by someone online pretending to be me. This situation is RIDICULOUS and I can’t believe it’s real life.”

EBK Jaaybo Pleads Guilty In Federal Drug & Gun Case https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997463-ebk-jaaybo-pleads-guilty-federal-drug-gun-case Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:42:34 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997463 EBK Jaaybo's ascent as a XXL Freshman last year was cut short by legal trouble, and he is now accepting the consequences of it.

The post EBK Jaaybo Pleads Guilty In Federal Drug & Gun Case appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
EBK Jaaybo is still dropping new music these days despite his legal trouble, but things will only get more complicated from here. According to XXL, he pleaded guilty to drug and gun charges in federal court yesterday (Thursday, June 4).

Codefendant Xavier “Baby Maxx” Jones reportedly entered a guilty plea on these same charges. More specifically, they are one count of machine gun possession and one count of marijuana possession with intent to distribute.

However, this plea deal meant that prosecutors dropped other charges they initially pursued against the Stockton rapper. Jaaybo also faced one count each of firearm possession by a person with a felony conviction, gun transportation in interstate commerce while under indictment, possession of a stolen firearm, and machine gun possession in furtherance of drug trafficking crimes.

As far as EBK Jaaybo’s potential sentence, earlier reports suggested he could face up to 30 years behind bars if convicted on his charges. However, this plea deal could change things, and the court will officially sentence him at a later, unspecified date. The gun charge specifically carries a maximum of a ten-year prison sentence.

What Happened To EBK Jaaybo?

For those unaware, authorities arrested EBK Jaaybo in Arkansas in May of last year while on the way to his XXL Freshman Class shoot. Per court records, police conducted a traffic stop and found a Glock pistol with illegal modifications, around five ounces of marijuana, and $8,534 in cash.

Later, investigators reportedly found the gun police found in the California MC’s car had been used two months prior in a non-fatal shooting. The victim was Bay Area rapper DreamLlife Rizzy, who allegedly had a feud with Jaaybo. However, that case is still ongoing, so it’s unclear how it could impact the EBK artist’s situation.

In the court document XXL shared of the guilty plea, there is no mention of a connection to the Rizzy shooting. Instead, it only mentions the machine gun possession and marijuana possession with intent to distribute charges. The connection to that shooting is what preempted the potential 30-year prison sentence. But following the plea deal, the final sentence might be different.
