Drake’s not budging from the top any time soon. While everyone attempted to take him out of the game in 2024, his comeback has proven that, if anything, Drake will remain the king of the charts. That’s obviously the case with the release of ICEMAN. Accompanied by two additional projects, ICEMAN debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 while HABIBTI followed at #2, and MAID OF HONOUR at #3. It made Drake the first artist to ever debut three projects at the top 3 spots on the Billboard 200 in the history of the chart. 

Although the latter projects have slipped from the top of the charts, ICEMAN still reigns supreme. Per Chartdata, the album moved an impressive 133K in its fourth week, ensuring its position at #1. This now makes ICEMAN the longest-running #1 album of 2026. 

It shouldn’t be that much of a surprise, though, as numerous songs from the album have had the internet in a chokehold. “Janice STFU” has also had an impressive run on the Billboard charts at #1. The virality of “Shabang” will likely see the song surge up the charts over the course of the summer.

Drake Films New Music Video In Turks & Caicos

Although Drake unloaded ICEMAN with over a dozen new music videos to accompany its release, the rapper is still hard at work. Most recently, footage of Drizzy in Turks & Caicos surfaced, and it appears that he’s shooting a new video for “New Bestie.” Stunna Sandy, who appears on MAID OF HONOUR highlight “Outside Tweaking,” also joined Drake in Turks.

Could ICEMAN continue its streak at #1 on the Billboard 200? Only time will tell, but all things considered, Drake’s latest album is clearly having the type of run that will ensure it stands high on year-end lists this year.

Travis Scott Wore Unreleased Nike Air Force 1 To World Cup https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998553-travis-scott-nike-air-force-1-low-ostrich-baby-blue-sneaker-news Mon, 15 Jun 2026 14:07:38 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998553 Travis Scott wore an unreleased baby blue ostrich-textured Nike Air Force 1 Low to the Brazil versus Morocco FIFA World Cup match.

Travis Scott attended the Brazil versus Morocco match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup wearing an unreleased Nike Air Force 1 Low in a baby blue ostrich colorway. He wore a vintage Brazil jersey, wide-leg denim, and yellow socks alongside the pair.

Scott was first spotted in the baby blue Air Force 1 Low earlier this year at Nike’s Toma El Juego ATL event. The World Cup appearance marks the second public sighting of the shoe. The pair features an all-over baby blue leather build throughout the upper. The texture on the leather gives it a distinct pebbled or ostrich-like finish that separates it from a standard Air Force 1 construction.

Travis Scott’s involvement with Nike at this World Cup goes deeper than just showing up in unreleased shoes. He collaborated with Nike Football on the Phantom 6 boot and appeared in Nike’s “Rip The Script” World Cup campaign film. He also dropped the Cactus Jack x Nike Total 90 World Cup collection, covering apparel for many different national teams.

The baby blue Air Force 1 sits outside that official rollout. No release date or official announcement has come from Nike. Scott wearing it publicly at a high-profile World Cup match keeps the shoe in the conversation without Jordan Brand or Nike committing to a drop date.

Travis Scott Nike Air Force 1 Low Ostrich “Baby Blue”

The Air Force 1 Low has been a recurring shoe for Travis Scott’s Nike work over the years. His first Air Force 1 collaboration dates back to 2018 and featured a canvas upper with removable Swoosh logos.

Since then, Scott has returned to the silhouette in various forms through both Nike and Cactus Jack. The baby blue ostrich version he has been wearing publicly is different from anything in his confirmed release history.

The textured leather finish is the most distinctive detail. Standard Air Force 1 releases use smooth tumbled leather, so a pebbled ostrich-style material would make this a premium build if it does release.

Scott’s track record of wearing unreleased samples publicly before official drops suggests this shoe is real and further along in the pipeline than a prototype. The World Cup setting also adds significant global visibility to the tease.

Kai Cenat Hilariously Rejects Adrien Broner From Streamer University https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998559-kai-cenat-adrien-broner-streamer-university Mon, 15 Jun 2026 13:57:10 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998559 Kai Cenat is recruiting for Streamer University, and as it turns out, Adrien Broner and Deen The Great want in.

The post Kai Cenat Hilariously Rejects Adrien Broner From Streamer University appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Kai Cenat has officially made his return to the streaming world. Streamer University is back for a second season, and over the weekend, the streamer found himself taking in recruits.

Streamers who want to attend the university were brought in front of Cenat. In many ways, it was reminiscent of Druski’s Coulda Been Records auditions. Streamers needed to face Cenat and explain why they should be admitted into the school.

Some familiar faces were at the auditions, including Adrien Broner and Deen The Great. These two have been all over the streaming world as of late, for better and for worse. Ultimately, it is easy to see why they would want to be admitted into Streamer University.

As for Cenat, he wasn’t exactly sold on the idea. In the video clip below, Broner attempted to bribe Cenat with some cash. The streaming legend was quick to reject the bribe. Subsequently, he denied admission to the two streamers, noting that the lust and the liquor are too much.

Kai Cenat Is Running A Strict Program

While Broner and Deen The Great would certainly deliver some viral clips, there is no denying that they also bring a host of trouble with them. Over the last few weeks, Broner has been accused of making women uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Deen The Great even spent a night in jail.

For Cenat, having these two around Streamer University could prove to be a liability. While that may disappoint Broner, Deen, and their fans, for Cenat, it is probably the correct business decision.

Regardless of who attends Streamer University, it is almost a guarantee that this latest endeavor will be a success for Cenat. Fans have been waiting on his return for months, and now, it has arrived.

DJ Akademiks Explains Why He’s Letting Akademiks TV Go After Charlamagne Tha God https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998551-dj-akademiks-akademiks-tv-charlamagne-tha-god-beef Mon, 15 Jun 2026 13:38:10 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998551 Akademiks TV has been going after Charlamagne Tha God, and as DJ Akademiks describes, he's not getting involved.

DJ Akademiks and Charlamagne Tha God used to have a good relationship. Overall, Charlamagne acted as a mentor of sorts towards Akademiks, especially as the hip-hop commentator was making a name for himself on YouTube.

However, in recent months, the two have appeared to be at odds. Akademiks is on Drake’s side, while Ak believes Charlamagne Tha God is working on behalf of Roc Nation. Now, Akademiks’ proxy channel, Akademiks TV, is going after Charlamagne in an unrelenting fashion.

As we reported previously, Akademiks TV has been posting old court cases and video clips that paint Charlamagne in a negative light. On The Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne says Akademiks TV is just mad because he has been exposed for being an Australian named George Nguyen.

Last night, Akademiks was on his live stream, where he offered up his take on all of this. Ultimately, he has no plans to tell Akademiks TV to stand down.

DJ Akademiks Puts His Foot Down

As the former Everyday Struggle host explains, Akademiks TV was being stalked. Random people showed up at his house, and Ak believes it is somehow tied to Roc Nation. With Charlamagne Tha God allegedly associating with the imprint, Akademiks feels as though Nguyen can do whatever he wants.

“I don’t play showing up to house games,” Akademiks said. “I think this is from Roc Nation,” he continued.

Akademiks even referenced the time Rory Farrell allegedly showed up at his house. Ak says this is the main reason why he will never forgive Rory & Mal. The hip-hop media personality is putting his foot down and has drawn a line in the sand when it comes to all matters of stalking.

As for Charlamagne Tha God, he clearly seems annoyed by Nguyen’s actions, although he doesn’t appear to be particularly worried.

Spike Lee Calls Michael Jordan As Mars Blackmon After Knicks Won The Title https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998546-spike-lee-calls-michael-jordan-sneaker-news Mon, 15 Jun 2026 13:30:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998546 Spike Lee revived his Mars Blackmon character to leave Michael Jordan a voicemail celebrating the Knicks' first NBA title in 53 years.

The post Spike Lee Calls Michael Jordan As Mars Blackmon After Knicks Won The Title appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The New York Knicks won the 2026 NBA Championship, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the Finals. It was the franchise’s first title in 53 years. Right after the game, Spike Lee pulled out his phone and called Michael Jordan as Mars Blackmon.

The voicemail Lee left went: “Yo Mike, what’s up? it’s Mars Blackmon. I know it’s been a long time, we haven’t talked in a minute. The New York Knicks are world champions, call me back. Orange and blue skies!” Jordan did not pick up.

Mars Blackmon was an alter ego Lee created for his 1986 film “She’s Gotta Have It.” Nike enlisted Lee and the character to appear in Jordan Brand ads starting in 1988. The tagline “It’s gotta be the shoes” came from those commercials. Jordan spent much of the 1990s eliminating the Knicks from the playoffs, making the voicemail feel more meaningful than a standard championship celebration.

Jordan Brand also gifted Spike Lee a custom one-of-one Air Jordan 3 in “Knicks” colors ahead of Game 5. The shoe featured all-over blue leather, orange and white elephant print, and the Mars Blackmon logo on the heel.

Separately, Jordan Brand confirmed the Air Jordan 3 “Do The Right Thing” returns March 27th, 2027. The shoe draws from Spike Lee’s 1989 film and is one of the more culturally connected releases in the brand’s catalog.

Spike Lee Calls Michael Jordan

The Mars Blackmon and Michael Jordan ad campaign ran from 1988 through the mid-1990s. It helped turn Air Jordan sneakers into a mainstream cultural product rather than just a basketball shoe.

Lee’s character was obsessed with Jordan’s on-court ability and kept asking why he was so good. The recurring answer, “It’s gotta be the shoes,” became one of the most quoted lines in sneaker history. The partnership between Lee and Jordan Brand has stayed active for decades since.

The custom Knicks Air Jordan 3 gifted to Lee featured lace dubraes reading “Orange” and “Blue,” with both Jumpman logos on the tongue and heel appearing in Knicks colors.

The “Do The Right Thing” Air Jordan 3 returning in March 2027 also connects directly back to Lee. That shoe originally released in 2016 and pulls its blue and yellow color story from the 1989 film’s aesthetic.

When Kanye West first started seeing Bianca Censori, fans were mesmerized by the outfits Censori had on. In fact, one could make the argument that these weren’t even outfits because she was mostly naked.

Eventually, the two got married, and the outfits became that much more risque. Some were sounding the alarm, claiming that West was attempting to embarrass Censori. The architect eventually came out and said that the outfits weren’t a problem, and that everyone should mind their business. She even said that she is responsible for her own fashion choices.

Over the last few months, Censori has toned down the nudity. However, over the weekend, she brought it back during an outing with her husband. Ye posted the photos on his Instagram story, although given the subject matter, we can only link to the images.

As you will see, Censori was wearing a taupe full-length bodysuit. In true Bianca Censori fashion, you could see through the bodysuit. Meanwhile, Ye was wearing a matching brown leather jacket. He also had on some black leather pants.

Ye and Censori never cease to amaze us with these fashion choices. Clearly, they are still going strong, as evidenced by the recent music video for “Gemini Season,” which is off the upcoming BULLY Deluxe album.

Meanwhile, Kanye is going to be touring the United States and the rest of the world this Summer. Consequently, we should be seeing a whole lot more of Censori and her unique brand of fashion.

The post The Air Jordan 13 “Flint” Looks Faithful To The Original In New Photos appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

In-hand photos of the Air Jordan 13 “Flint” have surfaced ahead of its August 1st release, per zSneakerHeadz.

The shoe looks clean up close, and the color blocking holds up well outside of a studio setting. The 2026 edition marks the fifth time Jordan Brand has brought this colorway back since its original 1998 debut.

The upper features reflective navy mesh overlays with grey suede wrapping the midsole and heel counter. White leather covers the toe box and tongue, and blue accents appear on the Jumpman branding throughout. The holographic ankle jewel, a signature detail on every Air Jordan 13, sits on the heel as expected.

The 2026 version keeps the same visual layout as the original, without significant changes to the color story or construction. The shape also appears closer to the original 1998 release based on the new images. That is a detail collectors tend to pay attention to with Air Jordan 13 retros.

The “Flint” colorway was originally released in 1998 and quickly became one of the most recognized Air Jordan 13 styles. Unlike most Jordan colorways from that era, it had no direct connection to the Chicago Bulls. The release was also pushed back twice, first from April 25th, then from June 20th, before landing on August 1st.

Air Jordan 13 “Flint”

The Air Jordan 13 “Flint” stands out among Jordan 13 colorways because it does not reference the Chicago Bulls at all. Most Jordan releases from the late 90s leaned on red and black, so the navy and grey palette felt different when it debuted in 1998.

That distinctiveness is part of why it developed such a strong following over the years. The colorway has now released in 1998, and then again in retro runs across 2002, 2010, 2020, and now 2026. Each retro has brought a slightly different crowd to the shoe.

The 2020 version also performed well and helped re-establish demand heading into this cycle. The holographic ankle jewel is one of the more distinctive design elements on any Air Jordan silhouette, and it reads particularly well against the navy and grey on this colorway.

Going into the NBA Playoffs, even the most delusional New York Knicks fan couldn’t have predicted a championship. Especially not after going down 2-1 to the Atlanta Hawks in the first round. However, they fired off 13 wins in a row before defeating the San Antonio Spurs in five games in the NBA Finals.

This was the team’s first championship in 53 years, and for long-time fans, this is a euphoric feeling. The Knicks had been through the wringer, and now, they can officially call themselves champions again.

Celebrities were all over the locker room on Saturday night, including Hollywood actor Timothee Chalamet. The long-time Knicks superfan could not contain his excitement as he danced with Finals MVP Jalen Brunson.

Meanwhile, if you listen closely to the clip below, you can hear Drake’s “Burning Bridges” being played in the background. Drake has always been a locker room favorite, and this was no exception.

Drake is The Soundtrack Of Champions

Drake’s entire ICEMAN album is about what it’s like to feel as though you have been counted out. For much of the season, the Knicks were considered to be a “mid” team. A team that would make the playoffs but wouldn’t go much further than that. In the end, they proved everyone wrong.

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs are incredibly young. They blew double-digit leads in every single game and could not close out to save their lives. In a few years, it is very likely that they will become NBA champions as everyone on the team develops their game.

For now, however, all focus is on the New York Knicks, who will have their parade in NYC on Thursday.

BBYKOBE is a producer, songwriter, and rapper who has already earned himself a Grammy nomination in his young career.

If you are a fan of that specific sound, then BBYKOBE is an artist you are probably going to want to check out. Not to mention, his award-winning songwriting is certainly going to create some buzz and intrigue.

2Slimey is an artist who has garnered some polarizing reactions over the past year or so, and for good reason. Quite frankly, his music can sometimes feel like a wall of noise. The visuals that accompany his songs are just as chaotic. With his latest single, “Lobby,” 2Slimey continues to assault your senses. While some find this style of underground rap stimulating, others will see it as pure “slop.” At the end of the day, music is subjective. 2Slimey reminds us of this with every release.

Release Date: June 12, 2026

Genre: Underground Rap

Album: TOTAL BASS DEATH

Quotable Lyrics From Lobby

Shoot up the lobby, shoot up the lobby
Shoot up the lobby, all in my body
Uppin’ the racks, up in the big body, know you gon’ tap me
Bringin’ yo’ mop up in the truck and I’m laughin’
