Trick Daddy and Trina’s “Trick & Trina Morning Show” was a staple of Miami hip-hop culture. Unfortunately, the show ended in 2021, and fans have been looking to get their fix ever since.

Thankfully, the iconic duo is back for GTA VI. Earlier this morning, Rockstar Games announced six of their radio stations. There are plenty more to come, but this is a nice little teaser for the fans out there. In regards to the Dirty South Classics station, it has been revealed that Trick and Trina are going to be the two hosts.

Other radio hosts in the game include the likes of Lana Del Rey, Morgan Wallen, and even Bad Bunny. It just goes to show that Rockstar has opted for lots of celebrity representation.

On the Rockstar Games website, you can listen to a preview of Dirty South Classics, and so far, three songs are being shown off. The first is “Like A Pimp” by David Banner and Lil Flip. From there, you have “Who Dat” from JT Money and Sole. Last but not least, there is “Born N Raised” by DJ Khaled featuring Trick Daddy, Rick Ross, and Pitbull.

Trick & Trina Returns To GTA VI

There are plenty more songs to come, and with the game’s release date coming on November 19, surely more information is on the horizon. Fans can also expect a contemporary rap station in the game, although nothing has been confirmed just yet.

Artists like Kodak Black and Sexyy Red have songs in GTA VI, so certainly that station will be unveiled in due time. One has to wonder who will be the host. Metro Boomin and DJ Khaled could certainly be a pair of interesting names for that endeavor.

Let us know if you are excited for the game in the comments section below.

Takeoff’s Mom May Call Quavo & Offset To Testify In Dispute With His Dad https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1012398-takeoff-mom-quavo-offset-testify-dispute-dad Thu, 08 Oct 2026 14:21:43 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1012398 Takeoff's mom and dad are in a dispute over the settlement money from the wrongful death lawsuit.

A dispute over the settlement in Takeoff’s wrongful death lawsuit has the late rapper’s mother and father at odds in court. According to TMZ, Takeoff’s mom, Titania Davenport, and his dad, Kenneth Ball, are disputing over how much Ball will receive from the settlement payment. However, this might also require Quavo and Offset to testify on Davenport’s behalf.

Davenport’s filing wants this dispute to be handled in George instead of Texas, where Takeoff was murdered. She argued that both Quavo and Offset, along with all the other relevant witnesses to the case, live around Atlanta and Athens, GA. The issue with bringing this to Texas is that all potential witnesses would have to travel to Houston and cover the costs of their travel.

It remains unclear how much Kenneth Ball is hoping to receive out of the settlement stemming from Titania’s lawsuit against 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston. However, Davenport argued that she had an extremely close relationship with Takeoff, practically raising him as a single mom and relying on him for support once he got his big break. She also said that Kenneth “provided negligible financial support and effectively no emotional support” to Takeoff when he was a child, nor was he actively involved in the rapper’s life.

Blueface has become one of the biggest streamers on Kick. While this has come with renewed fame and lots of fortune, it has also come with some particularly ridiculous inconveniences.

The artist gets swatted on a weekly basis. Sometimes, he gets swatted twice in the exact same day. Parasocial viewers continue calling the police and paramedics on his home. Now that Chrisean Rock is living with him, much of the attention has been placed on Chrisean Jr., and the child’s well-being.

Overall, the controversy surrounding Chrisean Jr. has been well-documented. Some believe he has undiagnosed disabilities. Chrisean Rock, on the other hand, disagrees.

During yesterday’s stream, the paramedics were called to Blueface’s home. When Blue opened up his door, there was a gurney outside, with the EMT saying they got a call about a baby choking.

Eventually, an investigation took place, with some officers coming inside the home. It was eventually made clear that everything was alright, and the authorities left the premises.

Ultimately, this just goes to show that Blueface is under intense scrutiny right now from onlookers. Chrisean Rock’s presence has only made things more dramatic.

However, this has led to more viewers, as people want to see what’s going to happen next. It’s the kind of thing that just goes to show how toxic our internet culture has truly become.

Cardi B is an artist who has dominated the mainstream since 2018. Overall, she is one of the biggest women MCs in the game, and whenever she drops, you can expect the song or the album to chart.

Some have wondered if she would be featured in GTA VI. The game is dropping on November 19, and there is an expectation that at least one song will end up on one of the radio stations. Meanwhile, Rockstar Games is putting out an album with original music on the same day as the game’s release. Travis Scott, Metro Boomin, Future, and Yung Lean are all featured on this album.

As it turns out, Cardi B might be featured on it as well. In a recent Instagram story, Cardi posted a photo of a cropped hoodie on her bed, with the word “Baddie” on it. In fact, it is the same hoodie that Lucia wears in one of the missions from the GTA VI Netflix extended look.

This all but confirms the notion that Cardi B is going to have some sort of role in the game. The pre-save for the soundtrack updated this week, and Cardi B’s name was on it. This is yet another indication that she is going to be on the project.

At this time, it is unknown whether or not her song will drop before the game comes out, or if it will be subject to a November 19 release. Whatever the case may be, this is all extremely exciting information for the fans out there.

Teezo Touchdown has come through with a new single called “Honeymoon Night” as he continues to tease his upcoming project, Casting Call. Teezo was everywhere back in 2023 thanks to features on UTOPIA and For All The Dogs. His solo career continues to march forward, and it seems as though he is going in an R&B pop direction on this latest cut. Teezo ditches the cringey lyrics of old for something a bit more mature. His unique voice soars over the production here, and it makes for a song that certainly proves that he knows what he’s doing. Hopefully, he continues down this path.

Release Date: October 6, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop

Album: Casting Call

Quotable Lyrics from Honeymoon Night

Don’t you slam my door so heavy
Jumping in my front seat, girl
Well, since someone is so ready
Where should we go?

Diddy’s Prison Release Date Pushed Back Significantly After Contraband Allegations https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1012385-diddy-prison-release-date-pushed-back Thu, 08 Oct 2026 12:32:48 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1012385 Diddy was allegedly caught with contraband in prison, and just a week later, he is already facing an extended prison stay.

The post Diddy’s Prison Release Date Pushed Back Significantly After Contraband Allegations appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy has had his prison release date change on numerous occasions at this point. In fact, prior to last night, the mogul’s release date had been altered a total of eight times. Now, make it nine.

According to TMZ, Diddy was supposed to be released on January 21, 2028. However, the date has now been pushed all the way back to March 2, 2028. This is a five-week extension, and it comes amidst a bombshell report from NBC that Diddy was smuggling contraband into FCI Fort Dix.

The report suggested that Diddy was throwing his money around to keep a luxurious lifestyle intact. He reportedly had a cellphone in prison and was even receiving photos from a girlfriend. Furthermore, it was stated that the mogul was paying for massages, and was even having inmates cook for him.

It was subsequently reported that Diddy was sent to solitary confinement in the aftermath of this report. Just a week later, the mogul has also been hit with a release date delay. While it is unclear whether or not the two things are related, it is clear that the prison system continues to change things around.

Following his fight with another inmate, which also landed him in solitary, Diddy’s release date was pushed back. However, just a few weeks later, it was moved up.

His release date continues to yo-yo. In a few months from now, it could come back down again. Regardless of all these changes, it seems pretty clear that Diddy will be home in early 2028.

Only time will tell whether or not hip-hop welcomes him back with open arms.

CoolKicks LA Files Lawsuit Against Complex And Nice Kicks https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1012381-coolkicks-sues-complex-and-nice-kicks-sneaker-news Thu, 08 Oct 2026 12:32:40 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1012381 Adeel Shams, founder of CoolKicks, filed a lawsuit against Complex and Nice Kicks, alleging false claims about his business.

CoolKicks is going up against two of sneaker media’s biggest names. The Los Angeles retailer and its owner, Adeel Shams, filed suit against Complex and Nice Kicks this week. They’re asking a court to rule on claims of defamation, trade libel, and false light.

The complaint points to a Complex story from last year about the raid on the store. CoolKicks says the headline and framing suggested it sold fake sneakers. In their view, that’s not true. They note that police never said the store was moving counterfeit product.

Nice Kicks is also named in the lawsuit. The suit says it posted a video online that linked the retailer to knockoffs as well. CoolKicks says the media has negatively impacted both its name and its sales. CoolKicks LA has also said that Complex turned down a request to take the story back.

Nothing has been proven yet, and we haven’t found a public reply from either outlet. A store built on trusted authentication has a lot riding on this. It’s also unusual to see sneaker media as the defendant.

CoolKicks Sues Complex And Nice Kicks

The background is last October’s raid on the store. Coverage at the time said investigators were looking into stolen sneakers, rather than fakes. CoolKicks said it expected the truth to come out.

The retailer grew its audience through YouTube, where employees checked pairs for authenticity on camera. That reputation for spotting fakes is a big reason customers trusted it.

That’s why the word counterfeit stings so much in this world. Resellers and buyers care about legit pairs above all else. One accusation can destroy a business quickly.

The three legal claims are different, but they share one core question. Were the statements untrue, and did they cause real harm?

For now, the case is in its early stages. We’ll watch to see how Complex and Nice Kicks answer. Overall, the outcome could matter for how sneaker outlets cover retailers in the future.

50 Cent Roasts Too Short Over His Diddy Party Apology https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1012373-50-cent-too-short-diddy-apology Thu, 08 Oct 2026 03:31:06 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1012373 After Too Short apologized for his Diddy party comments, 50 Cent reposted the video and questioned who still plans to attend.

The post 50 Cent Roasts Too Short Over His Diddy Party Apology appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

What Too Short intended as loyalty did not land that way once people heard who he planned to celebrate with. His declaration that he would attend Diddy’s first party after prison drew criticism from people who felt the Bay Area veteran was brushing past the abuse surrounding Sean Combs. Too Short eventually returned with an apology and a fuller explanation. 50 Cent, never one to let a Diddy-adjacent controversy go untouched, immediately found his punchline.

“Too short sorry, sorry he said he going to a Diddy party. 👀 who going to that. LOL 😆,” 50 wrote while reposting Too Short’s apology on Instagram.

Too Short created the controversy during a recent appearance on The TMZ Podcast. Asked about Combs and the possibility of his return to public life, he made clear that he had no intention of abandoning someone he considered a friend. “I’m going to the Puff Daddy coming home party,” he told TMZ.

His comments were more complicated than outright support for everything connected to Combs. Too Short specifically condemned the 2016 hotel surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura and said that behavior was something he judged him for. Still, his willingness to publicly celebrate Combs after prison became the part that traveled, with critics questioning how he could separate a future welcome-home party from the violence and allegations that have reshaped Diddy’s public image.

Combs was convicted in July 2025 of two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution and later sentenced to 50 months in federal prison. A jury acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking charges. The surveillance footage showing him assaulting Ventura was also presented during his federal trial.

Too Short Says He Spoke Before Learning More

The backlash sent Too Short back to Instagram, where he admitted that he had spoken without fully understanding the breadth of the allegations surrounding Combs. “I was a little insensitive with my words,” he said in the apology. Too Short explained that while he knew about the Ventura footage, he had not realized how many women had accused Combs of abuse and said he began reading more after the criticism reached him.

He was also far more direct about where he stood after doing so. “I do not condone abuse in any kind of way, not emotional, not physical, not sexual, and I don’t support anybody that does it,” he said.

Short also clarified what he meant by attending a Diddy party. He said he had been to several of Combs’ gatherings over the years and was referring to the large celebrity parties he remembered, not the sexual encounters described during Combs’ trial. “I’ve been to dozens of his parties, and never once have I seen a naked person or a sexual act,” he said.

Pharrell Says Chad Hugo Hasn’t Identified Which Neptunes Songs He Claims https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1012370-pharrell-chad-hugo-neptunes-lawsuit Thu, 08 Oct 2026 03:11:29 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1012370 A new filing from Pharrell challenges Chad Hugo to identify the specific Neptunes songs and copyrights at the center of his lawsuit.

The post Pharrell Says Chad Hugo Hasn’t Identified Which Neptunes Songs He Claims appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A partnership behind some of the most recognizable records of the last three decades is now tangled in a far less glamorous question of who can identify exactly what they created. Chad Hugo continues pursuing Pharrell Williams over money and ownership tied to their years together in The Neptunes and N.E.R.D. Pharrell’s attorneys are challenging whether Hugo has been specific enough about the music he says belongs partly to him.

In an Oct. 6 filing, Pharrell asked the court to dismiss Hugo’s lawsuit, arguing that its copyright claims remain too vague to answer. His attorney Edwin F. McPherson put the criticism more sharply. “As incomprehensible as it is, it appears that Hugo has no idea which compositions or sound recordings he supposedly authored, even though he claims to have been there, right by defendants’ side, the whole time,” he wrote, according to AllHipHop.

The dispute is partly about how Hugo’s claims have changed as the case has progressed. An earlier version of his complaint identified eight songs, but he removed those titles from his latest filing. According to Rolling Stone, the current complaint specifically names EarthGang’s “U Gotta,” though Pharrell’s attorneys argue it still does not make clear whether Hugo is claiming an interest in the composition, the sound recording, or both.

The Fight Over Money Is Now A Fight Over Authorship

Hugo initially sued in January, accusing Pharrell of withholding earnings and failing to provide adequate access to financial records connected to The Neptunes and N.E.R.D. He has alleged that money owed from N.E.R.D.’s 2017 album No One Ever Really Dies alone could exceed $1 million. The complaint also describes Hugo as a central creative force in the partnership, saying he worked as a writer, producer, arranger and performer while contributing to the sound that made both groups commercially valuable.

That description is what makes Pharrell’s latest argument especially pointed. In an earlier filing, Hugo characterized himself as the “principal composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, and producer responsible for programming, instrumentation, and overall sound design,” while describing Pharrell as the more publicly visible member of the duo. Pharrell’s side is now effectively arguing that someone making such a broad claim about his creative role should also be able to identify the individual works and rights at issue.

The disagreement is only one front in the deterioration of a partnership that had already spilled into a separate trademark fight over The Neptunes name in 2024. Hugo accused Pharrell of trying to secure control of the mark through his own company, while Pharrell’s camp said the intention was to protect the name and share ownership with Hugo. After decades of shared credits, the lawsuit is forcing both men to define ownership with a precision their partnership never required.

Saweetie Can’t Believe Quavo Is Still Talking About That Bentley https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1012367-saweetie-quavo-bentley Thu, 08 Oct 2026 02:45:51 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1012367 Years after the breakup, Saweetie says she’s surprised the Bentley drama with Quavo is still being discussed.

The post Saweetie Can’t Believe Quavo Is Still Talking About That Bentley appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Five years later, the Bentley is somehow still part of the conversation. Quavo recently revisited the luxury car he took back after his breakup with Saweetie, this time saying the decision came with a little divine guidance. When his ex was asked about that explanation, she seemed more surprised that anyone was still discussing it.

“I’m surprised that’s still a topic of conversation,” Saweetie told TMZ while speaking with the outlet at LAX. After hearing that Quavo said God told him to reclaim the car, she added that she was “happy” he had “found God.”

The response was brief, but it fit the way Saweetie has handled the Bentley saga for years. The customized white Continental, complete with snowflake details and “Icy” embroidered into the headrests, arrived as a Christmas gift in 2020. By March 2021, the relationship was over, and the car quickly became one of the most public pieces of breakup fallout.

Quavo Finally Explained Why He Took The Bentley Back

The subject resurfaced when Yung Miami asked Quavo about the car during a recent conversation. Asked why he reclaimed it, he offered an answer no one had on the 2021 breakup bingo card. “Sometimes God says get something back, you better go get it,” he said while discussing the Bentley.

There is some history behind why the question never quite disappeared. Quavo’s camp initially denied reports that he had repossessed the car after the split. Months later, the same Bentley, still carrying its customized “Icy” details, surfaced for sale at a luxury dealership. Quavo had also appeared to reference the situation on Migos’ “Having Our Way,” rapping that an unnamed woman was “out of a Bentley.”

Yung Miami has now heard both sides directly. During Saweetie’s 2022 appearance on Caresha Please, Miami asked how she felt when Quavo took the car back. Saweetie laughed and explained that she simply bought herself another luxury vehicle. “I had to go get me a little Rolls[-Royce],” she said.

That answer already suggested the Bentley had become more interesting to everyone else than it was to Saweetie. Her latest response does not offer a competing version of why Quavo took it or reopen the breakup. She mostly seems amused that a Christmas present from 2020 keeps finding its way into interviews in 2026. The Bentley may have changed hands years ago, but apparently the story still has excellent mileage.
