AllStar JR quickly went from dropping the “Mob United” diss track to landing in prison for alleged gun possession as a person with a felony history. While law enforcement still hasn’t accused him of shooting NBA Ben10 specifically, social media sleuths continue to connect alleged dots amid news that Ben10 is out of the hospital.

According to Complex, a federal judge ruled AllStar should remain in custody before his trial instead of going out on bond. Per court records reportedly reviewed by the publication from a detention hearing on Monday (April 27) in Detroit, Magistrate Judge Kimberly G. Altman found no release conditions that would properly eliminate the threat of a public safety danger or a flight risk.

The decision reportedly rests on the Detroit rapper’s legal background and the government meeting stipulations to justify incarceration without bail. AllStar JR will now reportedly go to Texas, where the alleged altercation took place. His first court appearance will reportedly take place on May 14, if everything goes according to schedule.

As for NBA Ben10, No Jumper caught a social media clip addressing his discharge from the hospital on Instagram. He suffered a bullet injury to the neck weeks ago.

AllStar JR’s Alleged Shooting

For those unaware, prosecutors are accusing AllStar JR of being at the center of a reported shooting at a Houston restaurant earlier this month. A group of individuals allegedly went up to him and tried to rob him, which led to a fight during which a gun fell to the floor. Officials accused AllStar of picking the gun up and firing it while people fled.

Per investigators, one person fell down after a bullet hit them, JR fired more shots at another person, and the incident continued. Authorities also reportedly suggested he bragged about the shooting on social media and via a music video.

To be clear, the alleged connection between NBA Ben10 and AllStar JR hasn’t been confirmed by law enforcement. Many fans assume that tension due to their Internet trolls towards each other. But as for the court of law, the case is still focusing on the gun possession charge exclusively.

Chris Brown is getting ready for his “Raymond & Brown” tour along with fellow R&B superstar Usher. But he might have to deal with an attack near his home beforehand. According to TMZ, police in Los Angeles responded to a shooting reported on the street outside Brown’s house yesterday afternoon (Friday, May 1) and arrested a suspect.

Per law enforcement sources who reportedly spoke with the publication, police responded to a 4PM call from a woman who claimed a man shot at her vehicle outside the property. Officers reportedly interviewed both individuals when they arrived. It’s unclear at press time if Breezy was at his home at the time of the reported shooting.

The male suspect reportedly told police he and the woman were arguing in escalating fashion because she refused to leave the area. He also reportedly claimed the woman drove over his foot, after which he allegedly shot at the vehicle. Law enforcement reportedly took the suspect into custody on a $50K bail for assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.

It’s also unclear if either party has a connection to the “Fallin” singer or his L.A. home. To be clear, the shooting reportedly took place on the street outside the home, not inside it or on the property.

Complex reportedly confirmed the 35-year-old Black male suspect is not Brown. A Los Angeles Police Department Media Relations officer reportedly told the outlet that reports suggested the suspect wielded a “CO2-style weapon” during the incident.

Elsewhere, Chris Brown is facing his own legal drama. His former housekeeper recently pushed to show graphic photos from the dog attack she claims to have suffered. She claims in court that Brown’s dog Hades mauled her, and has been seeking $90 million in damages since 2021.

He denied any wrongdoing in this case. We will see what the court’s next decisions will hold for the legal battle.

Beyond this, Chris Brown is clapping back at haters and celebrating his success before he and Usher hit the road. He’s got a new album dropping in just a few days, and a lot of scandal to handle.

Michael Porter Jr. Allegedly Calls Cops On Celina Powell After She Leaked His Address https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/993376-michael-porter-jr-calls-cops-celina-powell-leaked-address Sat, 02 May 2026 17:00:32 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=993376 It seems like Celina Powell was angry with Michael Porter Jr. and N3on for kicking her off a stream, leading to alleged police intervention.

The post Michael Porter Jr. Allegedly Calls Cops On Celina Powell After She Leaked His Address appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Michael Porter Jr. is no stranger to romantic drama, as the NBA player was recently called a “psycopath” by his ex Madison Pettis. But a new situation with Celina Powell might be even more consequential. During a livestream with N3on, he allegedly called the cops on her at his residence after she leaked his address on social media.

FearBuck caught the stream clip on Twitter, in which you can see police cars at MPJ’s house. Apparently, Powell was mad that Porter Jr. and the streamer had her leave a livestream, and their friend Steiny allegedly owes her money. Allegedly, she walked into his home and was faced with her brother.

From what social media clips indicate, it seems like Celina was at the house when police arrived. She also allegedly threatened to sue MPJ and N3on, and Porter Jr. felt compelled to pack up his things and leave the house due to the address leak.

There are a lot of unclear details around this situation. For now, though, it seems like both parties are separated and no further action has emerged at press time.

Celina Powell’s Romantic Allegations

For those unaware, Celina Powell has had many controversies before. She infamously claimed to have sexual relations with various rappers. Most recently, Powell claimed she was in a relationship with Offset, whether it’s more recently or previously in their lives.

This is also not Celina Powell’s only streaming controversy. She recently got into a spat with streamer Deshae Frost after linking up with him for a live session. They shared a kiss on camera, and Powell was not happy at all when Frost used prosthetics to fake infected lips after the kiss. She even warned him of potential legal action, but nothing emerged following that at press time.

As for N3on, he’s got bigger fish to fry. It seems like he and Alabama Barker recently confirmed their relationship, so he has his own gossip train to run.

With all this in mind, we’ll see if Celina Powell or Michael Porter Jr. speak out more about this. It seems like a messy and contentious situation that might not see a clean resolution.

Ice Block In England Disappoints Fans Hoping For Drake “ICEMAN” Update https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/993372-ice-block-england-drake-iceman-update Sat, 02 May 2026 16:20:26 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=993372 When a mysterious block of ice appeared in Bournemouth, England this weekend, many fans though Drake was setting up another "ICEMAN" play.

]]>
Drake is clearly influencing a lot of brands and organizations with his ICEMAN rollout. The new album is right around the corner, and fans looking for a new update were distraught when a random ice block’s sudden appearance in England hyped them up to no avail.

As caught by UK Rap Daily on Twitter, fans noticed how a structure of ice appeared on the coastal town of Bournemouth, specifically at what looks like a park. Folks also noticed there seemed to be something inside the block of ice. This immediately called Drake’s ICEMAN ice structure in Toronto to mind. He hid the project’s release date and various other promotional items within the ice, leading to fan frenzy and a lot of impressed excitement.

As such, fans thought we could get a new hint for the LP with this Bournemouth ice block. Perhaps a confirmation of Drizzy’s “Which One” collaborator Central Cee being on the record? A tracklist, maybe? Fans had a lot of theories.

But alas, they came to no avail. UK Rap Daily later updated their Twitter followers with the revelation that the ice block melted. Instead of an ICEMAN update, it revealed the new kit sponsor for AFC Bournemouth.

Although this disappointed hardcore OVO listeners, it’s still very interesting and heartening for the fanbase to see the rollout have an influential impact. Sure, it was an unfulfilled tease, but there’s no bad publicity.

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

Drake’s ICEMAN comes out on May 15, so brands have plenty of time to get in on the fun as well. Whether it’s ice blocks or new typeface formats for social media posts, everyone’s loving the hype.

There is also a lot of speculation about potential features on Drake’s ICEMAN. The most recent conversation was around The Game, who pulled up to Toronto and had Kendrick Lamar fans calling out his West Coast roots.

As such, it would be a big feature with a lot of conversation. But nothing confirmed at press time, and nothing explicit to link Game’s visit to the album. Amid all this speculation and much more, the Toronto superstar has everyone waiting.

NBA YoungBoy’s Brother Arrested For Allegedly Pistol-Whipping Woman https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/993368-nba-youngboy-brother-arrested-pistol-whipping-woman Sat, 02 May 2026 15:47:14 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=993368 NBA YoungBoy's brother Kendell Gaulden is accused of trying to shoot rapper Lil' Dump and assaulting Dump's girlfriend.

The post NBA YoungBoy’s Brother Arrested For Allegedly Pistol-Whipping Woman appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

NBA YoungBoy is no stranger to legal trouble, but recent developments in that regard are happening in his orbit rather than relating directly to him. One example was a group of teenagers reportedly being detained at his documentary screening. But a more serious situation concerns the Baton Rouge rapper’s brother, Kendell Gaulden, and another Lousiana rapper named Lil Dump.

According to The Advocate, recently filed court records show authorities arrested Gaulden for aggravated assault in Houston on April 20 on a $500K bond. Officials accused him of trying to shoot Baton Rouge rapper and NBA affiliate Lil Dump, real name Dedrick Wright, and pistol-whipping Wright’s girlfriend on April 17. Dump and YoungBoy have collaborated before on tracks like “Bling” and reportedly share a close friendship.

In addition, photo and video evidence from social media reportedly shows Wright and Kendell Gaulden hanging out multiple times. A police report reportedly identifies the woman as “Mrs. Jones.” She claimed the three were hanging out in Houston.

Per the court filing, “Mrs. Jones” and Gaulden fought after she didn’t let him drive her car. Then, he allegedly told Wright he needed to control his girlfriend to avoid a shooting, and then allegedly pulled out two pistols and threatened to “shoot his b***h.” According to police, Gaulden allegedly pistol-whipped her, which led to him and Dump fighting.

The woman reportedly claimed to police that Gaulden pulled the trigger on one of the guns during the fight, but no bullets were fired since the gun’s magazine fell out during the scuffle. Gaulden is reportedly in a Harris County jail awaiting a May 14 bond hearing.

NBA YoungBoy’s Siblings

Kendell Gaulden has reportedly faced legal trouble before. Several charges against him in Texas since 2021 include evading arrest, carrying firearms unlawfully, and a burglary charge. The court filings for that 2025 burglary case reportedly accused him of threatening to kill a woman, fatally shooting her dog, and breaking into her home. His indictment over that incident reportedly led to him posting bail, and he reportedly awaited trial for that case when the alleged pistol-whipping occurred.

NBA YoungBoy’s other siblings reportedly include younger brother Bway Yungy, his brother OG 3Three, and his sister Landa. We will see if NBA affiliate Lil Dump responds to this situation.

]]>
D4vd has been facing a criminal investigation for months after the body of teenager Celeste Rivas was found in his Tesla back in September of 2025. Amid his arrest, fans are unearthing old footage of him while comparing these clips to what prosecutors are alleging against him.

As caught by No Jumper on Instagram, a resurfaced clip of the singer streaming at his home with his friends Neo and Sukana recently gained more traction on social media. According to the outlet, the clip is from July 4, 2025. Officials believe Rivas died over two months earlier on or around April 23, and they accused D4vd of dismembering her in that home and storing her remains in his Tesla.

In the clip, he made the following eyebrow-raising statement: “I apologize for the way my bathroom smells, I took a s**t.” Fans connected this footage to prosecutors’ allegations in court documents.

They claim the artist “lied to friends, business associates, and others” when they brought up an alleged strong stench of decay “in and around his home and vehicle.” Also, they alleged he moved his Tesla to a street around the corner from his home before departing for a tour at the end of July. Reportedly, it’s unclear if these accusations about the bad smell rest on video evidence or on witness testimony.

Who Is Neo Langston?

Some folks also highlighted this clip because of the inclusion of Sukana and D4vd’s friend, Neo Langston, who is also a Twitch streamer. He faced questions before a grand jury earlier this year concerning the Celeste Rivas murder investigation. Neo reportedly claimed he had nothing to do with Rivas’ disappearance and denied knowledge of her passing and of the singer’s alleged involvement. However, he also reportedly blasted his friend on social media and defended his own purported innocence.

Other allegations concerning the D4vd case have more to do with rumors about Celeste Rivas possibly being pregnant and loved ones’ reactions to case developments. Prosecutors accused him of having a sexual relationship with teenaged Celeste and possessing large amounts of child sex abuse material on various devices. We will see what official evidence and arguments continue to emerge.

The post LeBron Wore A “Tune Squad” PE To Eliminate The Rockets In Game 6 appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
LeBron James just closed out the Houston Rockets in Game 6, sending the Lakers to Round 2. But as always, the sneakers were just as much a story as the game.

LeBron laced up a Nike LeBron 23 PE directly inspired by his Tune Squad uniform from Space Jam: A New Legacy. The timing was perfect. He wore the kicks at Toyota Center while carrying a depleted Lakers squad to a dominant 98-78 win at 41 years old. The fit, the shoe, the performance are all locked in.

The colorway pulled straight from the Tune Squad palette. Warm yellows and oranges up top, teal down below, red laces running through the whole thing. It’s loud and it’s fun. And it matched the energy LeBron brought to that floor.

This isn’t the first time LeBron has connected his footwear to Space Jam. Nike and LeBron have leaned into that universe before, dating back to the original film rollout. But a playoff PE this specific is a different level of detail.

LeBron averaged 23.2 points, 8.3 assists, and 7.2 rebounds throughout the first round, doing it all while the Lakers were without Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. The sneakers matched the moment. Toon Squad energy in a real playoff series.

Now the Lakers head to face OKC. Finally the next question is what’s next on-foot.

The Nike LeBron 23 Tune Squad PE is all about the color story. The upper sits in a warm golden yellow with orange mesh panels mixed throughout. Below that, a glossy teal Foamposite-like pod wraps the midfoot with a bold contrast that makes the shoe pop from a distance.

Red laces cut through the warmth and tie everything back to the Tune Squad palette. A matching red outsole finishes the look underneath.

The teal also appears on the Swoosh, keeping the colorway consistent all the way through. It’s a PE through and through. Overall, this pair is built for a playoff run and styled like a movie set.

The post 21 Savage Allegedly Responds To GloRilla’s Sister Dissing Latto appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
21 Savage still hasn’t explicitly confirmed that he is expecting a child with Latto, despite all signs pointing to their romance and his father status. Whether it’s baby shower footage, music video teases, or social media shoutouts, the alleged dots are there for fans to connect. They’d appreciate some more confirmation, though. With that in mind, many fans believe his recent Instagram Story post may have responded to this speculation. In fact, some fans suggest it might be a clap-back at Victoria Woods, the sister of GloRilla who recently dissed the pregnant femcee.

GloRilla’s sister dissed Drake, Soulja Boy, Glo, and Big Mama for various reasons. Glo seemed to diss Woods on her new Latto collab “GOMF,” Soulja provided a cameo in the music video, and Drizzy showed the song love on social media.

As for Savage’s alleged response, The Shade Room caught his IG Story post from yesterday (Friday, May 1). “I really learn things about my life on here [three crying-laughing emojis],” he wrote. Victoria Woods had said the father of Latto’s child wasn’t claiming her publicly, presumably referring to 21. She doubled down on this by bringing up Savage’s previous marriage to Keyanna Joseph, which fans still have questions about amid the femcee’s pregnancy.

This isn’t an explicit connection to GloRilla’s sister’s comments. But it may be a general response to all the speculation and gossip about 21 and Latto, indicating he’s not breaking a sweat over presumptions.

Who Is Keyanna Joseph?

For those unaware, 21 Savage reportedly married Keyanna Joseph in 2020 following his visa case. Their exact timeline is unclear, but they reportedly share two sons. Joseph is a cosmetic entrepreneur, launching the Beauty By Nukee brand.

Keyanna Joseph reportedly liked Latto’s pregnancy announcement, so it seems like there’s no bad blood here. While 21 hasn’t explicitly confirmed he’s the father of Latto’s child, he did shout her out on social media after the pregnancy and Big Mama album announcement.

This is all still in vague territory, but not enough for Internet sleuths to give up. We will see if either Savage or Latto speak out further about this soon.

Drake is just days away from dropping his new album ICEMAN, and anticipation for it is building quickly. In fact, it’s manifesting in ways he probably didn’t expect. After The Game posted up on Instagram about his recent visit to Toronto, many fans and haters debated if this is a hint about a potential feature on the album. For the latter group of listeners, though, they instead had jokes about Drizzy allegedly “flying him out.”

“Last time I was in Toronto… it was called T-Dot,” the Compton artist captioned his IG post. It featured him in front of a private plane, and his Instagram Story posts included fine dining flexes, a shoutout to the 6ix God’s “Do Not Disturb” track, and more in the 6ix. Some fans even felt like Chuck Taylor’s “T-Dot” line might be a sly subliminal reference to Kendrick Lamar, also known as K.Dot. In reality, that nickname existed far before Kendrick’s rise.

“Bro had a date night with drizzy,” one fan commented under Game’s post, with another adding “Hes on that Iceman album.” Night Owls on Twitter caught one of his many IG Story posts, which featured glasses of wine. To be clear, there’s nothing explicitly confirming the OVO mogul arranged this visit, so fans making “flewed out” jokes might be assuming too much.

Does The Game Support Drake Or Kendrick Lamar?

For those unaware, this is all notable because of The Game’s support of Drake during the Kendrick Lamar battle. He recently explained why he didn’t switch up on his former collaborator despite his West Coast allegiance.

“People thought that I was going to change my opinion and how I felt about Drake because he was at war with Kendrick. I’m not going to do that,” Game told Complex‘s Jordan Rose. “When the whole thing popped off, everybody was like, ‘You supposed to be with the West Side!’ I was like, ‘We are the most segregated culture in hip-hop.’ Y’all want to say we supposed to be so West Side. But before you drive by the opps’ hood with your window down and yell out, ‘Where y’all from, cuz?’, is it about the West Side then? […] Let me do me on my type of time, and I’ma let you know how you should walk accordingly when you have camaraderies or real friendships.”

As for the other side, The Game and Kendrick Lamar are more complicated. They don’t have any real, explicit beef beyond regional competition and some rumored rifts or loyalty questions, but some fans still feel like he’s been shading Lamar during this saga. We’ll see if fans are taking these presumptions too far or if this is a more defined line in the sand than we thought.

An unboxing video of the Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline” just surfaced, and it’s giving us the clearest look yet. The shoe drops May 23rd, retailing for $205. After years of stops, starts, and outright cancellations, this one is actually happening.

The video shows off every angle. And honestly, it lives up to the wait. The all-black leather upper hits different in hand compared to mock-ups. The red accents are subtle but sharp which is exactly where they need to be.

This isn’t another “Flu Game”. The Bloodline doesn’t broadcast the red from across the room. Jordan Brand kept it restrained, hitting the eyelets and side shield in metallic red, with the rest of the shoe going all black. That’s the whole point.

The road to get here was long. Originally believed to be a re release of the “Flu Game”, insiders revealed it was actually a new variation on the black and red theme. The pair was then shelved entirely in favor of the actual “Flu Game” reissue. Then it came back. Then the date moved again.

First teased years ago, the “Bloodline” was reported greenlit for production before being shelved. Now unboxing footage is out, the drop is weeks away, and people are ready.

This one has been a long time coming. May 23rd can’t get here fast enough.

Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline”

The “Bloodline” name ties back to the Bred colorway DNA, not some gothic storyline. The concept first appeared on the Air Jordan 1 “Bloodline” in 2019, and now it carries forward onto the 12. The shoe itself is almost entirely black leather across the upper, black midsole, black outsole.

Then the metallic red hits land on the eyelets and the midfoot side panels, giving it just enough contrast to pop. Tinker Hatfield designed the original Jordan 12 back in 1996, drawing inspiration from the Japanese rising sun flag. MJ wore it during his 1996–97 championship run.

That history makes every 12 retro carry a little extra weight.
