As caught by Pop Base on Twitter, she responded to a TikTok comment asking for her thoughts on Nicki Minaj’s support of Donald Trump and her lean into conservative politics. It’s a very complex issue with a lot of grey area, and the Detroit native spoke to the financial stakes these endorsements represent.

“I’m getting texts about Nicki, and I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ I didn’t even know,” she expressed. “Then I researched and saw what was going on. I’ma say it like this. Celebrities’ opinions of other celebrities [do] not matter. I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter. So my opinion of her does not matter. But what I will tell you is you’re about to see an influx of people who see that it is more profitable and more beneficial to join that side. You’re going to see it, it already started, and it’s going to continue. This is Trump’s first year as president [in his second term]. We got three more years of people who are going to surprise you. It’s going to hurt your feelings and it’s going to disappoint you. You have to know that there’s money behind everything. There are privileges behind every move people in these positions make, and I’m not surprised.”

Lizzo’s Nicki Minaj Take

Of course, given Lizzo’s outspoken political views, many folks have interpreted this message as a two-way street that could’ve applied to her as well. But perhaps she intended this message as a critique of folks who didn’t speak out before the election, or people that had different views beforehand.

After all, many have made similar comments about Nicki Minaj, whether it’s bringing up her old anti-Trump statements or how the folks she’s aligning herself with previously criticized her. In any case, politics and fame is a dangerous game.

As caught by DJ Akademiks on Instagram, HoneyKomb took to his IG Story with a screenshot of a FaceTime call with Baby. “Man this the realest conversation I had since I been home boy,” he wrote. “@lilbaby u really a real n***a I wish it was more in the game like u. But the talk we just had changed my whole mind set. Im finna stay free n do this music s**t just like u said [100 emoji].”

Then, the Alabama MC revealed that he hopped on the phone with Savage and hashed out their grievances and perspectives. “I can’t lie that bihh @21savage different af,” he wrote on his Instagram Story, as caught by No Jumper on IG. “bra really a real n***a n we talked for hours. I feel where he coming from right is right we can save the streets like u said. That s**t just came out n ppl took it n ran with it but im on u mean us nun but good u got brazy.”

21 reposted this on his Story with the caption “Traumatized #savethestreets.” Also, HKB claimed that he played the Atlanta rapper a diss track against him, and that he joked that if it ever came out, Brazy would be banned from Atlanta.

HoneyKomb Brazy also had other issues with Big Bank for supposedly canceling their interview for this criticism of the Atlanta “f**k the streets” movement, but apparently they have settled those issues as well. At the end of the day, most of this seems like a slight misunderstanding based on semantics.

In reality, these rappers all have a common ground: wanting to succeed in their industry and help their families. No matter what side you’re on concerning the “f**k the streets” debate, the important thing is to do away with the notion of “sides” to begin with.

She got him the book How to Live with a Huge Penis: Advice, Meditations, and Wisdom for Men Who Have Too Much. As if that wasn’t enough, the gifts also included a “69 Sex Coupons” book and another book that seems to be about intercourse positions.

But in addition to this, Raven Tracy also gifted King Combs all of his Billboard, Spotify, and MediaBase plaques for him to put in his home studio, which was a very nice touch. Still, given the context of Diddy’s prison sentence and all the controversy surrounding his private life, many fans feel like she should’ve read the room. Or at least, not post this online.

Still, this obviously has nothing to do with that situation, and sex positivity should be something everyone can enjoy regardless of context. We’re sure fans will have plenty more to debate about, but the couple seems happy to brush it all off.

Elsewhere, Diddy’s kids have been supporting him throughout his legal scandal. For example, his son Justin Combs visited him in prison for Christmas, which was surely very heartening for the Bad Boy mogul to experience on what would’ve otherwise been a lonely holiday behind bars.

With that in mind, it’s been difficult for the Combs family to move on and live their lives without that context hanging over them. King Combs’ relationship with Raven Tracy has been the subject of a lot of media scrutiny as a result, but it’s never deterred them from flaunting their success and love.

We’ll see if that changes with this newest backlash. In the meantime, 2026 is going to be the first true off-year from this whole scandal since it began… Unless, of course, something else goes down.

For those unaware, T.I.’s son clapped back at the California rapper after he joked that he looks like his new girlfriend, Nevaeh Akira. While Blue’s new boo tried to compliment King, he wasn’t having it. After his response, as caught by Complex on Instagram, Chrisean Rock’s ex partner continued his jabs.

“King Harris is my type of b***h,” he tweeted, later taking to social media with a new video. “See, here n***as go. They want to be funny now. I tried to say it the nicest way I could without calling you a b***h, bro. You look like a b***h. King Harris look like my b***h. You want to go laugh and make it seem like you cute and handsome, and I’m weird? Ain’t nothing manly about you. You look like my b***h. [On the] dead homies. You look like baby, look. There’s nothing manly about you, bro. You don’t look like a man, you petite, you light-skin, your voice is real high. You want to make it weird? We can make it weird, n***a. You look like my b***h.”

“King Harris, come get in the bed, baby,” Blueface told his new girlfriend Nevaeh Akira as a joke. “I like the way you said that. Queen Harris? Ooh. With your little petite a**. Ayo, pause, hold on.”

“First of all, I don’t look like no female ever,” King Harris had responded to Blueface. “Second of all, why the hell would you say that, brother? […] I’m less mad, more like weirded out. Why would you say your girl resembles a guy? That s**t don’t sit. And then props to her. She was like, ‘Well, that means I’m handsome.’ Nah, baby, you’re supposed to be beautiful, pretty, sexy. Men are handsome, you know? Don’t get her thinking she handsome, Blueface. I’m handsome. She’s the female, beautiful, you know? Man traits should not be there.”

However, if you take a look at the comments section of the IG post below, you will see a lot of Ye fans who don’t believe in these new items. Not because they’re not cool or anything; that’s just a matter of personal opinion. Rather, it’s because Kanye West’s recent Yeezy drops have reportedly gone for months without fulfilling many orders.

Of course, take that with a massive grain of salt, as it’s easy to spread a narrative like that on social media with no real numbers or proof to back it up. Still, it’s definitely been a controversial part of the Chicago artist’s past few years when it comes to his merch, brand, and business moves. We will see if 2026 holds more good news when it comes to this.

Kanye West’s “Hotline Bling” Verse

A post shared by Complex Style (@complexstyle)

Elsewhere in the world of Ye, Kanye West’s getting flack for other reasons. These ones are much more light, though, as it’s just fans laughing at a recently leaked snippet of his verse over Drake’s “Hotline Bling.” Maybe it’s a reference track, a joke, an A.I. trick, or something else entirely, but his rough performance lit the timeline up for a bit.

We don’t know if this was for a scrapped remix, a feature meant for the original track, or something else. Also, considering Kanye West and Drake’s very turbulent relationship, this was very ironic for fans to hear.

Other than that, though, this new Yeezy drop is another significant but not-so-flashy update when it comes to the mogul. Between upcoming live performances, album delays, legal battles, and apologies over his antisemitism, things have been surprisingly low-key.

We will see how much longer that lasts given the track record. In fact, the Yeezy drop is a solid representation of that, as folks have just as much of an issue with delivery as they do with the content.

For those unaware, during the rappers’ nasty online beef back in 2023, the California rapper had claimed that Martinez’s two-year-old child with Soulja was actually his. She sued him in Los Angeles Superior Court for defamation in December of that year, and his lack of response resulted in a default judgement against Blueface.

The original award was $123,245, which includes $100K for emotional distress. But according to MyNewsLA and Martinez’s lawyers’ new reported court filings, interest has ballooned this judgement to $131,655 as of Wednesday (December 24). That day, her attorneys reportedly filed writs of execution with Los Angeles and Sacramento county sheriffs.

Earlier this month, Judge Peter Hernandez reportedly ordered that the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and BMI must give whatever royalties they collected on the West Coast MC’s behalf to Martinez until they satisfy the judgement.

Blueface reportedly still hasn’t paid his due, which his prison time significantly hindered. We’ll see if that changes soon.

Jackilyn Martinez claimed she hasn’t been intimate with him since 2018. “As a result of [his] wrongful conduct and the defamatory statements, I have [suffered] and continue to suffer severe emotional and mental distress, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, (and) crying spells,” she wrote in an earlier declaration filing.

When Did Blueface Go To Jail?

Since Blueface was arrested in January of 2024, this made it more difficult to handle this lawsuit from the mother of Soulja Boy’s child. It still didn’t excuse his lack of response, and it certainly hasn’t excused the legal bill that keeps mounting up. But context is always important.

We’ll see if Soulja responds to this at some point or if he lets it all just slide. Considering the heavy beef the two artists were engaging in on social media, we wouldn’t be surprised if they get more volatile.

In the clip, you can see various members of his entourage, seemingly such as Octavian, showing off the space and joking around. You can see speakers and a microphone spread around, but not much else, so the setup is quite rudimentary. Still, that makes sense given not just the space’s physical limitations, but how direct and raw recording processes can be. Especially when you’re such a huge artist that is constantly moving around.

Does this mean we will get Drizzy’s comeback solo studio album sooner rather than later? Fans certainly hope so, as it’s been a long time since this whole hype cycle first began. We don’t have any other dates or teases to go off of just yet. As such, many hardcore fans are banking on ICEMAN to arrive early next year, but we’ll just have to wait and see what the release strategy is.

Drake’s New Album ICEMAN

Drake’s next album ICEMAN is going to be a pretty big event, especially given how much he’s hyped it up. “I’m going on a last recording trip,” he remarked during his recent livestream session with friends like BenDaDonnn. “There’s plenty to talk about. We’ll talk about it. ICEMAN coming soon, y’all boys better duck and get out the way.”

We will see if this project starts a completely new era for the 6ix God, if it will still center around the Kendrick Lamar battle, whether or not he squashes some of his recent feuds, or if ICEMAN ends up being one of his best projects so far.

Both fans and haters are very skeptical about that last point, but you never know. After all, it’s been a little over two years since his last solo effort, and few full-length efforts in his career have as much contest and narrative behind it as this.

Quotable Lyrics from Make Out With My Choppa

Make out with my chop’ (Slatt), make out with this chop’
Got a hundred pair Louis V, Tom Ford, Gucci socks
Bitch, I’m bustin’ these VV’s on me, they say I go too raw (Boop-boop-boop)
Yeah, I got beans on me, got lean on me, these .223’s I rock (Woo)

The first is the Virgil Abloh Archive x Nike Air Force 1 “Pine Green,” a pair that feels closer to a museum piece than a retail release. The deep green leather upper carries Virgil’s signature deconstructed language, complete with exposed stitching, oversized Swooshes, and archive-style tagging that immediately signals its one-off status.

Alongside it is the Fragment x Union Los Angeles x Air Jordan 1 High “Sport Royal,” another heavyweight collaboration that doesn’t rely on loud branding. The black and blue leather base reflects Fragment’s clean, restrained approach, while Union’s construction details add texture and depth.

Visible stitching, layered panels, and subtle mismatches give the shoe a worn-in, handcrafted feel that separates it from standard Jordan 1 releases. What makes this moment special is seeing Chase B highlight two very different expressions of collaboration.

One leans into experimental design and archival storytelling, while the other refines classic Jordan DNA through thoughtful execution. Seeing them together reinforces how powerful collaboration can be when it’s driven by vision, not hype.

Chase B’s Sneaker Haul

The green Air Force 1 features smooth leather panels with bold stitching and a large metallic Swoosh on the side. A zip-tie tag hangs from the laces, reinforcing its archival feel. The black midsole grounds the vibrant upper nicely.

The Jordan 1 beside it uses black and royal blue leather with visible stitching throughout. The layered construction gives it a worn, handcrafted look. Cream-colored edges soften the contrast between panels.

Fragment branding stays subtle, letting the materials speak. Both pairs look premium and intentional. Nothing feels accidental. The designs balance restraint and detail perfectly. They feel personal, not commercial.

Each sneaker tells a different story, but both feel deeply connected to collaboration culture.

The post Chase B Showcases Ultra-Rare Virgil Abloh x Nike And Fragment x Union Jordans appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

House Of Heat reports that the Air Jordan 4 Denim “Iced Carmine” will be released in the summer of 2026.

It feels intentional, seasonal, and clearly built with everyday wear in mind. The “Iced Carmine” colorway swaps traditional leather panels for a pink denim upper that gives the shoe a lighter, more relaxed feel.

It’s a subtle move, but one that changes the entire personality of the Air Jordan 4. Instead of leaning aggressive or performance-driven, this version feels casual and versatile without losing its identity.

The creamy, slightly translucent midsole adds contrast and helps ground the softer upper, while still keeping the shoe recognizable at first glance. Jordan Brand has found success lately reworking core models for women with new material changes.

This release fits right into that strategy. It doesn’t chase hype or nostalgia. Instead, it offers a fresh take that feels current and wearable. With summer in mind, the Air Jordan 4 Denim “Iced Carmine” looks positioned to be an easy go-to rather than a special-occasion sneaker.

This Air Jordan 4 features a soft pink denim upper that immediately gives it a lighter, more casual look. The denim texture feels consistent across the panels and avoids looking overly distressed.

Creamy translucent accents appear along the midsole and outsole, adding warmth without overpowering the colorway. The mesh side panels stay true to the original shape and help balance the softer materials.

A pale pink heel tab with subtle branding keeps things minimal. The visible Air unit sits cleanly within the midsole and adds a familiar touch. Overall, the shoe looks easy to wear and thoughtfully put together. It feels more lifestyle-focused than aggressive.

Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $220 when they drop.
