Last night, Katy Perry and Chief Keef met each other for the first time. This was significant given their online feud over a decade ago. Of course, this all culminated with Perry’s “Legendary Lovers” being sampled by Lex Luger on the Chief Keef song, “Save Me.” Today, we celebrate Throwback Thursday with an ode to “Save Me.” A song with some of the finest pop sampling of the 2010s. Furthermore, it is a song where Keef’s iconic flow shines through, creating a contrast with the production that few have matched since. If you’re a Keef fan, you should be proudly repping this track today.

Release Date: February 20, 2014

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: The Leek Vol. 1

Quotable Lyrics from Save Me

Ridin’ with my chopper, ayy, ayy
I’ma beat him like his father, ayy, ayy
Now it’s blood on my Giuseppes, ayy, ayy
I don’t like no fuckin’ Pradas, ayy, ayy

Once upon a time, Chief Keef and Katy Perry did not like each other. If you remember, the pop star made a tweet in 2013 about the song, “I Hate Being Sober.” She said the song made her fearful of the society we live in, and Sosa was not amused.

He took issue with what Perry said and made that apparent in her replies. However, Perry recanted her comments and apologized. Chief Keef also apologized, and they left it at that. Although Keef did end up sampling Perry’s “Legendary Lovers” on the song “Save Me.”

Every now and then, these iconic Twitter interactions circulate on social media. Today, this is ringing true once again as Chief Keef and Katy Perry actually met in person. Below, you can see the two having a face-to-face conversation, while those around them film the interaction.

Chief Keef x Katy Perry

The circumstances of this meeting are unclear, although there is no doubt that this sparked some fanfare, as well as viral reactions. It’s not every day that Chief Keef links with one of the biggest pop stars of the early 2010s.

For those who may not be aware, Katy Perry is currently dating former Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. The two have been going strong for months, and their relationship has certainly drawn the attention of Canadians.

As for Chief Keef, fans are certainly hopeful to get more new music from him in the not-so-distant future. He already came through with Skeletor earlier this year. However, there is no doubt that more new music from the Chicago legend would be appreciated.

Tory Lanez Files Another Emergency Motion Claiming His Life Is In Danger: Report https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996515-tory-lanez-emergency-motion-prison-stabbing-lawsuit Thu, 28 May 2026 14:35:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996515 The motion claims that Tory's been targeted in prison after filing his lawsuit.

The post Tory Lanez Files Another Emergency Motion Claiming His Life Is In Danger: Report appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Tory Lanez’s attempt to see freedom has taken a darker turn now that his attorneys warned that the conditions inside California’s prison system might place him in immediate physical danger. According to newly filed court papers obtained by All Hip Hop, the rapper’s legal team claims correctional staff at California Men’s Colony have engaged in a pattern of intimidation and retaliation following his decision to sue the state over a brutal prison stabbing that nearly killed him last year.

The emergency filing alleges that staff members have repeatedly targeted Lanez with disciplinary write-ups over actions they argue were never considered violations before the lawsuit was filed. They claim the sudden scrutiny is part of an effort to try to get him transferred to a prison yard known for increased violence and instability. 

“Such actions have a chilling effect on all people who are incarcerated as it demonstrates to Plaintiff and other individuals what will occur if they exercise their First Amendment right to redress the government for grievances,” Crystal Morgan, Tory Lanez’s lawyer, said.

The filing also underlines concerns surrounding Lanez’s previous stabbing. It alleges that officers referenced the incident in ways that attorneys interpreted as threatening. Between that and the disciplinary actions, Tory’s legal team described the situation as both escalating and a dangerous environment.

What Happened To Tory Lanez’s Lawsuit?

The lawsuit at the center of the dispute stems from a May 2025 attack at a Tehachapi prison facility, where Lanez was stabbed multiple times by another inmate. Court records state the assault caused collapsed lungs and lasting facial injuries. Following the incident, he was transferred to a different institution in San Luis Obispo County, but his lawyers now argue the threats have continued there in a different form. 

Earlier this year, the California Supreme Court declined to review his appeal. Ultimately, it left his conviction in place. The emergency motion asks for temporary protections, including a restraining order against the correctional officer in the filing. This particular filing attempts to argue whether intervention is necessary to prevent further harm while the broader lawsuit moves through the legal system.

Stephen A. Smith Saddened After Kevin Hart Jokes That He Hates Black People https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996503-stephen-a-smith-kevin-hart-roast-joke Thu, 28 May 2026 14:06:14 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996503 Stephen A. Smith was left dejected after Kevin Hart put him on the Mt. Rushmore of people who hate black people.

The post Stephen A. Smith Saddened After Kevin Hart Jokes That He Hates Black People appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Stephen A. Smith is someone who wears his emotions on his sleeve, and when someone says something he dislikes, he lets them know. He is especially sensitive when it comes to his reputation, just as anyone would be.

With that being said, it should come as no surprise that he took issue with Kevin Hart’s roast joke. Hart made up a Mt. Rushmore of racism and included Smith on the list alongside people like Shane Gillis, Hulk Hogan, and Kid Rock.

This led to a response on Straight Shooter, in which Smith said he has a good relationship with Hart and felt blindsided by the jabs that were taken.

“I thought I had a pretty damn good relationship with Kevin Hart. He’s been on my show on many occasions. I’ve known him for years,” Smith said. “Kevin Hart may have been telling a joke… I have an issue at the fact that it came from him… A guy I have a lot of love and respect for… People try to continue this narrative about me that I know is false… It stung.”

Stephen A. Smith Addresses Kevin Hart

Ultimately, the Kevin Hart roast has proven to be controversial for a myriad of reasons. The George Floyd jokes were in bad taste, and Hart is still answering for it. Some felt like the writers’ room for the roast was too white, and that Hart gave anti-blackness a pass.

As for Smith, he believes that this was a low blow. Smith has been accused of being anti-black in the past. Famously, Terrell Owens once said that Max Kellerman was blacker than him. This subsequently led to a strong response from Smith, who was clearly upset with the implication.

Smith remains a prominent figure in sports television, despite his pivot into politics. With this pivot comes increased scrutiny as it pertains to his views. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that Hart would make this kind of swing. Regardless of whether or not it’s in poor taste.

Ray J Goes Live From His Hospital Bed With Bad News And A Message For Adin Ross https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996500-ray-j-bad-news-adin-ross Thu, 28 May 2026 13:08:21 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996500 Ray J admitted himself to the hospital after fighting Supa Hot Fire, and now, he has a message for Adin Ross.

The post Ray J Goes Live From His Hospital Bed With Bad News And A Message For Adin Ross appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Ray J and Supa Hot Fire went two rounds over the weekend at Adin Ross’ most recent Brand Risk MMA event. In the end, Supa Hot Fire won the fight with a second-round stoppage. However, the fight is under investigation as Supa Hot Fire refused to throw a punch in the first round, only to display his dominance in the second.

Following Ray J’s allegations of match rigging, he admitted himself to the hospital with a possible concussion. With the singer’s current heart problems, there were also fears that perhaps Ray J exacerbated the problem.

On Wednesday, he ended up going live from the hospital, where he revealed that his heart has, in fact, deteriorated as a result of the fight. Ray J did not appear in good spirits in the video, and it seems as though he is quite upset about how things went down. For instance, he takes issue with Adin Ross and his lack of care.

Ray J Is Upset With Adin Ross

As you will hear, Ray claims Adin Ross never reached out to him after the fight. After checking into the hospital, he has received nothing but radio silence from Adin Ross and the entire Brand Risk Promotions team. Given Ray J’s health conditions and his current condition, it’s easy to see why he would be upset with the streamer.

The legitimacy of the Brand Risk Promotions enterprise has certainly been called into question. Compared to other celebrity boxing promotions, Brand Risk has been operating with some questionable standards. The live streams are amateurish, and it feels as though someone is accusing the fights of being rigged after every single event.

This latest saga involving Ray J just proves that Ross is in over his head. If things continue to go this way, Brand Risk will not be long for this world.

DJ Akademiks Reveals Whether Or Not Drake’s “Janice STFU” Is Really A Joe Budden Diss Track https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996497-dj-akademiks-drake-janice-stfu-joe-budden Thu, 28 May 2026 12:49:28 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996497 A viral video had some feeling as though Drake's "Janice STFU" was a Joe Budden diss track, and now, DJ Akademiks has the truth.

The post DJ Akademiks Reveals Whether Or Not Drake’s “Janice STFU” Is Really A Joe Budden Diss Track appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Yesterday, an old clip from the Joe Budden Podcast went viral in which Budden said his white woman’s name was “Janice.” This subsequently led to speculation that Drake’s number one hit, “Janice STFU,” is a Budden diss track in disguise.

Drake is known for paying attention to everything. He has no qualms about going after his enemies, Budden among them. With this context, it wasn’t a stretch to believe that the song was aimed at Budden. After all, the two haven’t liked each other very much over the past few years.

Last night, DJ Akademiks went on stream where he offered his take on the ordeal. As you will see in the clip below, he attempts to dispel the notion that “Janice STFU” is about Joe Budden. Instead, he is adamant that the song is more about people like Kendrick Lamar, and perhaps even Jay-Z.

DJ Akademiks Delivers The Truth

As Akademiks points out, the bars about white guilt and a white audience are clearly aimed at Kendrick. Meanwhile, some of the other bars in the song are about the music industry at large. As for “Janice,” Akademiks simply believes that this is a woman Drake has been dealing with.

Drake has kept his relationships quiet over the past few years, and Ak suggests this could all just be one big mystery. Having said that, there is no doubt that the Budden revelation is a huge coincidence that fans couldn’t help but overanalyze.

Regardless of whether or not this is really a diss, it is all but guaranteed that Joe addresses it on his podcast this week. Whether or not he hides it behind a Patreon paywall remains to be seen.

Rihanna Proves Drake Wrong During The First Night Of A$AP Rocky’s “Don’t Be Dumb” Tour https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996494-rihanna-asap-rocky-dont-be-dumb-tour-chicago Thu, 28 May 2026 12:27:28 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996494 Rihanna and A$AP Rocky recently caught some strays from Drake on "Burning Bridges," just days before Rocky went on tour.

Drake was taking shots at everyone on ICEMAN, and with the song “Burning Bridges,” the artist took some swings at Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. This shouldn’t have come as a surprise, given Rocky’s role in the Kendrick Lamar beef. Moreover, Drizzy has had it out for Rihanna for years at this point.

His bars on “Burning Bridges” centered around how Rihanna didn’t help Rocky promote his new album, Don’t Be Dumb. It was an interesting angle to take, although it certainly resonated with fans.

Your baby momma ain’t even post a single, damn, where she at?” Drake raps, before continuing with, “You saw my brother, you was tryna fix it, now you drop your album and you back dissing.

On Wednesday night, Rihanna did her best to dispel Drake’s raps. It was the first night of Rocky’s “Don’t Be Dumb” tour, and Riri was front and center at the United Center in Chicago.

Rihanna Spotted in Chicago

Rihanna appeared to be having a great time at the show, which makes sense as Rocky is a solid performer. She took some videos of herself having a good time, and as you may expect, these videos are going viral on social media.

Rocky’s “Don’t Be Dumb” tour will take him all over the United States and Canada. On Friday, he will be performing in Cleveland, before heading to Toronto on Sunday and Montreal on Monday.

Throughout August and September, Rocky will be traveling through Europe for some dates overseas. Clearly, Rocky is looking to meet as many audiences as possible on this tour. Given how long it had been since his last album, the expansiveness of his tour makes a ton of sense.

Mario Judah is someone who hip-hop fans might remember from his run during the Pandemic. His gothic style was one that had fans feeling nostalgic for the emo rock of the 2000s. However, he ultimately fell off the face of the earth, only to return in 2025. Now, he is back with a four-track EP called Maniac of More. The first two songs on this project contain a black metal vocal style that will leave some listeners confused. Meanwhile, there is some singing on the third track, and a grating flow on the fourth. Ultimately, these tracks are a far cry from what fans have come to expect from Judah.

Release Date: May 28, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop, Black Metal

Tracklist for Maniac Of More

  1. Maniac of More ft. Tripfashoo
  2. Make More Blood

Ghais Guevara’s rise throughout the hip-hop world has been fun to watch. Overall, the artist continues to level up with each new release.

The bars on this song are extremely catchy, and there is no doubt that Guevara is a competent hook writer who can draw you in with some well-placed witty lines. We’re excited to hear more from Ghais Guevara this year, although this latest track will definitely be in rotation from here on out.

Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Pink Pack” Receives Official Images https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996482-travis-scott-x-air-jordan-1-low-pink-pack-sneaker-news Thu, 28 May 2026 01:40:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996482 Travis Scott is releasing two new Air Jordan 1 Lows in the latest "Pink Pack," featuring two distinct colorways.

The post Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Pink Pack” Receives Official Images appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Pink Pack” is finally dropping. Both colorways release May 29th, 2026, and they are expected to be the most stocked Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Low collaboration yet. That does not mean they will be easy to get. It just means more people will have a shot.

The pack includes 2 separate takes on the same theme. One pair uses a pink base with white leather overlays and a bright red reverse Swoosh. The second pair goes softer, with a cream and khaki construction that saves pink for the Swoosh and branding details. Both pairs carry red Cactus Jack branding on the heel.

The journey to this release has not been straightforward. Pink Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low rumors first surfaced in 2024. The pairs were reportedly pulled from 2025 release plans before eventually coming back for a May 2026 launch.

Travis Scott was actually spotted wearing both pairs in public during trips. That kind of organic preview kept the anticipation building even during the months when the release date kept shifting.

Both pairs feature a heart graphic near the Nike tongue label, which has led many to believe the pack was originally planned around Valentine’s Day before the timeline changed.

The reverse Swoosh is the design detail that defines every Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Low collaboration. It sits on the lateral side facing backward, which flips the standard Jordan 1 Low look into something immediately recognizable as a Cactus Jack release. Both pairs in the Pink Pack carry that same treatment.

What makes this pack different from earlier Travis Scott Jordan 1 Lows is the color palette. Previous collaborations leaned toward earth tones with colorways like Mocha, Velvet Brown, and Medium Olive. The Pink Pack is the first time this silhouette uses pastel tones under the Cactus Jack banner. That shift makes both pairs stand out against the rest of the catalog.

The heart and arrow detail on the right insole of both pairs connects both shoes beyond just the shared color story. It is a small detail, but it gives the pack a unified identity that goes a little deeper than matching aesthetics.
