Sauce Walka has run into drama with the mothers of his children before, but recent accusations against him are resulting in even more outraged and shocked backlash and reactions online. He shares a daughter with Kyra Biehl, also known as Bambi Doe on social media, and she just accused him of wishing death on their child.

As caught by No Jumper on Instagram, Biehl reportedly took to her Instagram Story to share a series of alleged text messages with the Houston rapper. “Only person handling is you,” she had allegedly written. “But u gone learn to watch ur mouth when u talk to me,” he allegedly responded. “Or not talk to me at all. I HOPE UR BABY DIES. go take a swim and never come back.”

“I didn’t do s**t,” Bambi Doe allegedly responded, with Sauce allegedly replying by telling her to “block” something. The message isn’t visible because the caption cuts it off. “I didn’t say anything disrespectful,” the social media personality and content creator allegedly texted him.

“but I’m the bad guy? this is what me & my daughter have had to deal with,” she captioned her screenshot of the alleged text messages. At press time, it doesn’t seem like the rapper has publicly responded to this accusation. Or at least, if he did, it’s not on his IG page as of writing this article.

Some folks found humor in this situation due to Sauce Walka’s “Baby Mama Drama” track, which is a dark response to such a shocking alleged statement. We will see if he speaks out.

Bambi Doe’s Sauce Walka Claims

Bambi Doe and Sauce Walka have clashed a lot in the past, so this conflict should come as no surprise. Still, the allegations about a message like this from the “Been Crashing” lyricist certainly took things up a notch when it comes to animosity and disrespect, let alone the family dynamic.

Elsewhere, Sauce Walka’s responses to heated topics like this have gone over not just his own claims and those about him, but also extensions to other rappers. For example, amid his drama with Drake and another mother of his children, he claimed Latto and Sexyy Red are selling their bodies for sex.

Chance The Rapper Is “Thinking A Lot” About Changing His Name https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011774-chance-the-rapper-changing-name Fri, 02 Oct 2026 15:43:03 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011774 Chance The Rapper reflected on what his stage name means to him, and why he's been seriously considering a different, albeit similar, moniker.

The post Chance The Rapper Is “Thinking A Lot” About Changing His Name appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Chance The Rapper recently stopped by the Tea Time podcast with Raven-SymonĂ© and Miranda Maday to talk about his career’s history, his home city of Chicago, and much more. Amid his tour for the tenth anniversary of Coloring Book, though, he’s been seriously considering a big change to his artistic presentation. We may be calling Chance something different at some point, although it will still be similar to his stage name today. Chancelor Jonathan Bennett might just go by a simpler name.

At the 20-minute, 41-second mark of the YouTube video below, Maday asked the Chicago MC about the intention behind his stage name and playing with the idea of what a “rapper” is. Chance had an interesting perspective, and he made the revelation of the name change during this segment.

He said a girl from his high school gave him his moniker, which people told him to change throughout his career because he was becoming “more than a rapper.” The 33-year-old spoke on always wanting to connect to hip-hop no matter what he does, carrying it the same way it carried him.

Chance The Rapper’s Name

“I’ve been thinking about changing my name… I’m going to take off the ‘Chance.’ I just want to be ‘The Rapper,'” he revealed. “It’s been something I’ve been thinking about a lot. I just really love the art form, I really love words. I think the greatest rappers, like myself, are etymologists and linguists at heart… And I think the ‘Chance’ part, I give a lot of vulnerability and looks into my life and what’s going on in my life… And I don’t love that as much now as I love just working within the genre and attacking things that aren’t necessarily so close to me sometimes.”

“My favorite rappers were vulnerable,” the “You Can Always Come Back Home” artist shared. “These people talk about their lives. But I also really love when they critique the state, or plan for a better future, or just do wordplay. Those things that aren’t so intrinsically tied to their existence, I like that too. When I’m working within the art form, sometimes, it’s good to just make a song that’s not about what I did that day… Sometimes it’s good to hold things just for me and my family as opposed to making it all fodder for the masses.”

Chrisean Rock Couldn’t Help But Cry While Proclaiming Love For Blueface https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011759-chrisean-rock-cry-proclaiming-love-blueface Fri, 02 Oct 2026 15:08:31 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011759 Many fans doubt Blueface and Chrisean Rock will stay together forever, but they always find their way back to one another.

The post Chrisean Rock Couldn’t Help But Cry While Proclaiming Love For Blueface appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Chrisean Rock is always dealing with drama in the gossip space, and she may have a home to use as a refuge from those narratives. The only issue is that this refuge has historically been a source of that drama in the past, but who knows what the future holds? She recently moved back in with her on-and-off-again partner Blueface, with whom she shares her son Chrisean Jesus Malone Jr.

During a livestream clip caught by Akademiks TV on Twitter, Rock shed tears while talking to Blue about their love, sharing a kiss and looking at each other warmly. The California rapper asked her if she feels it in her heart, which led to the crying. He also asked Chrisean if her make-up was waterproof or tear-proof, but she said she didn’t care.

“You’re the best,” the reality television star and boxer expressed. “I believe in us,” she added, with Blue saying, “Me too.” “We’ll get through it… In Jesus’ name,” Chrisean Rock expressed.

Sadly, this move-in situation was unexpectedly hectic for both, and for their son Chrisean Jr. In yet another swatting incident, police showed up to the house, but left quickly after identifying the little one was okay.

Blueface & Chrisean Rock’s Relationship

Of course, given Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s turbulent relationship history, many fans don’t expect this reconciliation to last long. They have clashed before over questions about Chrisean Jr.’s true parentage, as Blue has refused to claim him in the past while Rock has maintained that he is the father. In addition, their clashes over past partners, coparenting dynamics, career moves, and other matters is always in the spotlight.

As such, many folks online are just waiting for the next implosion. Still, rather than focusing on that, maybe they will begin to give more emphasis to their inevitable reunions despite whatever’s happened before.

It’s not just about them fighting frequently, but about how they always find their way back to one another. Some still believe these are ploys for content or engagement, but cynicism will only get them so far. Now that Blueface’s other partner Nevaeh seems out of the picture, we’ll see what the next chapter in this saga is.

Drake Allegedly Forfeits Publishing For Ella Langley Remix https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011768-drake-ella-langley-publishing Fri, 02 Oct 2026 15:03:10 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011768 A little compromise has led to “Solar Eclipse” hitting streaming services.

It looks like Drake had to give up some publishing so the fans could eat. According to DJ Akademiks, the official release of Drake’s “Solar Eclipse” ft. Don Toliver, a.k.a. “Choosin’ Texas (Remix)” on Habibti (FOMO), depended on Drake giving up his publishing share to Ella Langley.

“The reason why we’re getting it is literally because the fans have been blowing up, you know, his DMs, you know, there’s fake uploads of the songs constantly, and clearly people like this remix from FOMO and he wanted to get it on streaming,” Ak said. “Apparently, all the publishing goes to the woman on the song. I believe the producer and Ella, so Drake doesn’t even make any money off of this.”

Akademiks Reveals Drake Gave Up Publishing On “Choosin’ Texas” Remix

Ak tried to position this as a philanthropic effort from Drake to his fans, and gave Langley a shout-out for clearing the record. “He is giving up a portion or would be portion of the publishing, and it will go to the author,” Ak continued. “So again, the gift of Drizzy just keeps on giving as basically handing–I got to imagine this song is gonna make three-four million dollars extra bread and that’s going all to the authors of the song.”

What’s interesting is that prior to the song’s official release of Habibti (FOMO), fans speculated that there might be some tension between Drake and Ella Langley surrounding her hit song. When Drake re-uploaded the video for “Solar Eclipse” after the FOMO stream, he seemingly removed any footage of Langley that initially appeared in the visual. Although there’s no real explanation for that creative decision, the fact that she cleared the record should indicate that there’s no actual beef.

His deep, raspy voice shines over top of exciting, ear-wringing production.

Kid Rock Speaks On Eminem’s Controversial Feature On Upcoming Album https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011739-kid-rock-eminem-controversial-feature-album Fri, 02 Oct 2026 14:25:59 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011739 Many fans believe Eminem is changing his tune on his Donald Trump stances due to his upcoming "7 Sins" collaboration with Kid Rock.

The post Kid Rock Speaks On Eminem’s Controversial Feature On Upcoming Album appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Eminem is no stranger to controversy throughout his career, whether it’s for his lyricism or his political views. In the latter category, his upcoming feature on “7 Sins” from the new Kid Rock album Halfway To Jesus (dropping October 17) has divided fans who remember his previous condemnations of Donald Trump. On the other hand, Kid Rock is an ardent MAGA supporter with other right-wing inclinations. But he’s also a longtime friend of Slim Shady, and he reportedly addressed this collaboration.

Complex reportedly confirmed via a representative from Em’s camp that the team-up is actually real and official, as many Internet users questioned its veracity upon its announcement. Also, the publication reportedly obtained an excerpt from Halfway To Jesus‘ foreword that goes into the mindset behind the link-up.

“I’m proud of the guests who joined me, especially my old friend Eminem,” Kid Rock reportedly expressed. “His verse speaks to something we’ve talked about and that really needs to be heard: we differ politically and on other things, but we’ve stayed friends through it all. We hope that sets an example for people who’ve lost friends or stopped talking to family because they think differently.”

Eminem & Kid Rock’s History

Previously, Eminem has criticized Donald Trump often, even showing up to a Kamala Harris rally in Detroit in 2024. He had told Trump supporters to stop being fans of him in the past, later empathizing with them being fooled by his promises. However, the Detroit MC shares that Motor City connection with Kid Rock. They have various collaborations and moments of camaraderie over the past four decades.

Most recently, Marshall Mathers had tweeted that “one thing” they can agree on is their love for the Detroit Lions. The rapper, rock, country, and now Christian rock artist had admitted they disagree politically. But he still showed Em love for expressing his beliefs.

It seems like fans who want more context for all of this will have to wait for Halfway To Jesus‘ release on October 17. Many fans expressed outrage or less indignant criticism over the move. Regardless of what they thematically explore on their collaboration “7 Sins,” the damage is already done for lots of listeners.

Lil Baby Confirms He’s Dropping A New Album Before The Year Ends https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011750-lil-baby-album-release-date Fri, 02 Oct 2026 14:23:21 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011750 Lil Baby is readying a release date for his upcoming project, marking his first since January 2025's "WHAM."

The post Lil Baby Confirms He’s Dropping A New Album Before The Year Ends appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Lil Baby’s musical outings as of late haven’t been as undeniable as they once were. The release of WHAM in early 2025 practically came and went, and the promises of a follow-up was practically packaged as The Leaks. Meanwhile, WHAM’s companion project, Dominique, hasn’t received much of an update as of late. However, the release of “Dead Fresh,” produced by Pharrell, marked a pretty promising turn after a handful of duds. 

It now appears that he’s revving up to release a brand new album in the fourth quarter. Baby reportedly confirmed a November 6th release date for his upcoming project, though there’s no confirmation of a title or a tracklist. Hopefully, we get more information surrounding the effort in the near future.

Lil Baby’s New Album

The direction that Lil Baby might head in musically this year isn’t entirely clear. Outside of “Dead Fresh,” Baby hasn’t dropped a whole lot of music as of late. He has been dishing out several features as of late, some a bit more questionable than others. Don Toliver tapped Baby earlier this year for the “Tuition” remix while DJ Khaled tried to kick off the campaign for his next studio album with “One Of Them” alongside Future, which many seemed to have forgotten about. But in the past few months, he linked up with Young Thug for Slime Language 3, and also joined forces with MrBeast for an awkward remix of “Dead Fresh.” Most recently, Lil Baby appeared on Quavo’s new album, QRÖMELIFE, on the song “Ball My Love.” 

We will continue to keep an eye out for more updates on Lil Baby’s next musical outings. Hopefully, there’s a single or two we can sink our teeth into in the next few weeks before the album drops. Check his comment out above and let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Rob49 is an artist who has been known to make some exceptional party tracks. He knows how to get a crowd going, and his 2026 output has reaffirmed this to be the case. On Friday, he dropped another new song, this time called “GIRLS GIRL.” As you will hear, this is a song that actually finds Rob49 subduing his usual flows. On this track, we get something a bit more melodic and toned down. It’s an interesting spot to hear the artist in, but he occupies the pocket quite nicely. For day one fans, it is a change-up, but one that should create some buzz.

Release Date: October 2, 2026

Quotable Lyrics from GIRLS GIRL

Her friend so bad, I think she wanna kiss her, hm (Mwah)
I’m looking at this b*tch, I think she getting thicker (Haha)
Hair down her ass, bust down the middle (Shit), yeah

Nike CEO Admits Jordan Brand Flooded The Market With Retros https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011736-nike-ceo-says-says-less-jordan-releases-sneaker-news Fri, 02 Oct 2026 14:01:30 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011736 Nike CEO Elliott Hill says fewer Jordan Retros are coming in 2027, while the Caitlin Clark shoe had Nike's biggest women's launch.

The post Nike CEO Admits Jordan Brand Flooded The Market With Retros appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Nike’s CEO Elliott Hill has announced that Jordan Retros are about to get a lot less crowded. On Nike’s FY27 Q1 earnings call, Hill said fewer retros are on the way in 2027.

It’s easy to see why. Over the last 12 months, Jordan averaged 10 retro releases a month. Some months hit 19. Nobody can keep up with that, and the retail shelves prove it.

Hill said simply that Nike has been oversupplying its retro product. Going forward, certain launches will get smaller and show up less often. He pointed to the Air Jordan 1 as the example, since Nike already eased off there. Wholesale partners know what’s coming too.

We don’t know which pairs are affected yet. Nike hasn’t given exact timing either, so smaller runs, fewer drops, or both are on the table. North America should feel it first.

The business side explains the shift. Jordan Brand made up 13% of Nike’s global business last quarter, and revenue dropped by a mid-teens percentage. Hill wants the Jumpman to feel special again, and honestly, it’s about time.

Nike CEO Elliott Hill On 2027 Jordan Releases

Jordan isn’t the only place Nike is making cuts. Hill also talked about pulling back on Dunks and some high-volume styles that stopped moving. Sportswear sales fell at a low double-digit rate. Nike is dropping some China channels that don’t fit its plan, too. Overall revenue came in at $11.2 billion, and that’s down a considerable 4%.

Caitlin Clark gave him something positive to talk about though. Hill called the Caitlin 1 Nike’s biggest women’s signature launch ever. It landed in 5,000 stores, which is double the usual for a Nike Basketball signature shoe. CNBC reported it nearly sold out in under two hours.

Nike’s women’s signature business grew nearly 500% from FY22 to FY26. That’s real momentum, and it’s the kind of heat Nike wants more of. Fewer retros and more hits like this? Hill is betting that’s the fix.
