Megan Thee Stallion found herself at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Sunday, and one can make the argument that she completely stole the show. Her performance was one thing, although prior to the show, her pink carpet look had jaws on the floor.

As you can see, she was wearing a sparkly silver dress with what appeared to be pink accents. The dress features a plunging neckline, with some pink feathers towards the back. Meg also rocked blonde hair with the look.

Additionally, Megan Thee Stallion went through a costume change of sorts just in time for her performance. The performance took place on the runway, all while sporting angel wings, which is a staple of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows.

The outfit also included black stockings and a bedazzled lingerie top that paired nicely with the glitz and glamour of the wings. Overall, it was the kind of outfit you would expect from Megan Thee Stallion at this kind of event.

Megan Thee Stallion’s performance on the Victoria’s Secret runway comes amid the rollout for her upcoming project, MEGAN ACT III. She has dropped two Tina Tuesday Freestyles, and fans are expecting more en route to the release of her project.

At this time, ACT III does not have a release date. However, we are expecting some updates soon. Between these freestyles and her latest Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show appearance, Meg is clearly gearing her fans up for something big.

OTF Jam Takes Another Shot At Lil Durk From Behind Bars https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013691-otf-jam-disses-lil-durk-again Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:24:20 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013691 Lil Durk remains behind bars as he awaits his VICAR trial in August of 2027, and during this time, he is being taunted by OTF Jam.

The post OTF Jam Takes Another Shot At Lil Durk From Behind Bars appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
During Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire trial back in September, much was made of OTF Jam’s testimony. Jam was considered the prosecution’s star witness. He immediately pointed the finger at Durk, claiming that the rapper was the mastermind behind the death of Lul Pab.

However, during cross-examination, Durk’s legal team did a good job of questioning Jam’s credibility. This questioning did a number on the jury, who opted to acquit Durk on all charges.

Now, Jam remains in prison as he awaits further sentencing for his role in the situation. As for Durk, he remains in jail ahead of a bond hearing on November 5. He is also facing a VICAR trial in August of 2027. If he can beat that case, then he will officially become a free man.

In the midst of all of this, Jam is seemingly operating an Instagram account from prison. While it could be someone else posting for him, recent posts have suggested that it’s allegedly him. That said, last night, Jam took to Instagram with the famous jail cell clip from Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. He captioned the video with “The Nation of Lil Durks.”

OTF Jam Posts On His Phone From Jail

Despite everything, OTF Jam is still finding the time to poke at Lil Durk while locked up. It’s an interesting strategy, although it doesn’t appear to be swaying public opinion in his favor.

Ultimately, fans are eager to see where things go for Lil Durk. The Free Durk movement was holding strong throughout the trial, and there is no doubt that there was elation upon the not guilty verdict.

Now, with this VICAR trial looming, there will certainly be plenty of eyes on the Chicago MC.

Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro “Mamba Eterno” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013683-nike-kobe-dunk-low-protro-mamba-eterno-sneaker-news Mon, 19 Oct 2026 01:56:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013683 Nike adds a Dunk Low to its Kobe "Mamba Eterno" collection, and this woven, worn-looking pair is a big change from the rest.

The post Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro “Mamba Eterno” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Nike has added a Dunk Low to its “Mamba Eterno” collection, and it looks very different from the rest. The Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro “Mamba Eterno” is set to release on October 30th for $130.

The other pairs in the collection go bright orange. This one goes darker and more worn. The upper mixes red and orange woven fabric across the toe, sides, and collar. Distressed black overlays sit on top, with matching Swooshes.

Underneath, the midsole is an aged off-white and the outsole is dark. Together, they give the pair a lived-in feel.

Kobe’s gold Sheath logo sits on the tongue, and his signature is stitched on the heel. The insoles are mismatched, with one purple and one green. Both carry gold “Mamba Eterno” lettering.

Nike also includes extra laces in pink, white, and black, so you can switch up the look. Pairs should be available through Nike.com and select retailers. The style code is IQ3922-001.

Overall, it is a fun way to bring the holiday theme to a more street-ready shoe. It is part of a 4-shoe set that also includes an Air Force 1, the Kobe 3 Low Protro, and the Kobe A.D. Protro.

Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro “Mamba Eterno”

The Kobe Dunk Low Protro has become one of Nike’s most interesting Kobe projects. It first arrived in June with the “Draft Day” pair, which cost $145.

Since then, Nike has released a WNBA All-Star pair and an FC Barcelona version. By one count, this is the fifth Kobe Dunk Low Protro on the 2026 calendar.

Día de los Muertos is the theme tying the collection together. The Kobe 3 Low Protro and A.D. Protro use bright orange, while the Dunk Low goes in the opposite direction.

That contrast is a smart choice. Not everyone wants a loud floral print, and the darker Dunk gives fans another route into the collection. Also at $130, it is cheaper than the Kobe 3 Low Protro at $190 and the Kobe A.D. Protro at $155.

The post The Air Jordan 41 Joins The “Space Jam” Celebration appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Jordan Brand is adding a modern performance shoe to its Space Jam celebration. The Air Jordan 41 “Space Jam” is expected to arrive on November 5th for $205.

It is the only current signature model in the anniversary lineup, since most of the other pairs are retros.

The pair was first shown at Jordan Dome in Los Angeles, alongside the rest of the collection. At first glance, it does not look like a movie shoe. The upper uses grey mesh with a light blue lattice overlay. The tongue, laces, and heel panel are grey with a shimmering finish. Blue also appears in the midfoot support.

The real surprise is underneath. The outsole is made with a glow-in-the-dark material that lights up blue once the lights go out. The only direct movie nod is a Space Jam 30th Anniversary logo on the insoles. Otherwise, the shoe stays clean and playable.

FInally, the style code is HV6474-003. Pairs are set to arrive on November 5th through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers. Overall, this pair is part of a huge Space Jam collection that begins rolling out the same day.

The Air Jordan 41 is Jordan Brand’s latest signature basketball shoe. Using it for Space Jam is a smart move. It lets younger fans connect with the anniversary without buying a retro.

The grey and light blue palette also fits the movie in a quiet way. You could even connect the light blue to the Tar Heels shorts Michael Jordan wore under his uniform in the film. The full collection is huge. It includes Air Jordan 1 Mids, an Air Jordan 1 Low Golf, the Jordan Trunner, a Jordan Triangle, and three Air Jordan 11s.

The Air Jordan 41 will not be the flashiest pair, but the glow gives it a fun secret. It is a good option for players and collectors who want something different.

Ranking The Top 10 Ugliest Air Jordan 1’s Of All Time https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013348-air-jordan-1-top-10-ugliest-of-all-time Mon, 19 Oct 2026 01:00:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013348 From the clean but controversial "White Cement" to the "Visionaire," these are the ten ugliest Air Jordan 1 colorways ever made.

The post Ranking The Top 10 Ugliest Air Jordan 1’s Of All Time appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Air Jordan 1 is without a doubt the most iconic sneaker ever made. It is also, at times, the most baffling. For every “Chicago” and every “Bred,” there are releases that had sneakerheads scratching their heads and asking why?

This list isn’t about shoes that simply underperformed. It is about the ones that really made people question Jordan Brand’s creative direction. Here are the 10 ugliest Air Jordan 1 colorways ever made.

10. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “White Cement”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The “White Cement” is the most debatable entry on this list, and also the most wearable. Built on a clean white leather base with grey cement print overlays on the toe and heel, it borrowed its look from the Air Jordan 3 and 4 catalogs.

The problem is that the cement print never really translated to the AJ1 silhouette the way it does on those models. It looked borrowed rather than purposeful, and the overall execution felt like a coloring exercise rather than a considered design.

Some people really love it, and that is also what earns it the bottom spot. It is the least ugly shoe on this list.

9. Air Jordan 1 Retro High Utility “Neutral Olive”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The Utility series took the Air Jordan 1 and gave it a workwear treatment, adding nylon overlays, extra paneling, and a utilitarian aesthetic that divided sneakerhead opinions.

The “Neutral Olive” colorway made the structural changes harder to ignore, pairing a muted olive base with bulky nylon panels that added weight to the silhouette without adding much visual interest.

Further, the chunky lug outsole and the exaggerated collar stitching gave it more in common with a hiking boot than a basketball sneaker. It’s the kind of shoe that looked better in renders than in hand. Overall, it was functional in theory but very confusing in practice.

8. Air Jordan 1 High OG “Rebellionaire”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The “Rebellionaire” had a very interesting concept behind it. Jordan Brand built the shoe around the legacy of the original “Banned” commercial, printing “They Can’t Stop You From Wearing Them” across the upper in a Shadow-style black and grey colorway and stamping a red X on the heel.

The idea was solid, but the execution was somewhat divisive. The all-over text across the leather panels gave the shoe a cluttered, graffiti-covered look that felt more like something thrown together.

It released in March 2022 for $170 and was kept fairly limited, which helped its reputation more than its design did. It belongs on this list not because the story was bad, but because the shoe struggled to tell it cleanly.

7. Air Jordan 1 High x Gatorade “Cyber”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The Gatorade x Air Jordan 1 “Cyber” was built around a neon green “Cyber” colorway that felt more at home on a safety vest than a basketball sneaker. The collaboration itself was solid, as Gatorade and Jordan Brand had real cultural overlap through their shared connection to Michael Jordan’s career.

But the “Cyber” colorway pushed the partnership into difficult territory. The neon green hit with full force across the leather upper, with black and white accents that didn’t quite balance the intensity of the main color.

Further, the lace details with the Gatorade lightning bolt logo were a nice detail, but it wasn’t enough to save the overall look. It also aged quickly in a way that most Jordan 1 colorways don’t.

6. Air Jordan 1 High Switch “Purple Pulse”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The Switch concept was pretty ambitious. Jordan Brand built a zipper into the ankle collar that allowed the wearer to remove the upper half and turn the shoe from a high into a low on demand.

As a piece of engineering, it was interesting, but as a sneaker, it was a mess. The “Purple Pulse” colorway combined purple suede overlays with blue underlays, a yellow zipper running around the entire collar, and a sail midsole that didn’t quite tie everything together.

The result looked like several different shoes competing for the same upper. The zipper hardware also added visual bulk that the AJ1 silhouette was never designed to carry. It released in October 2021 for $175 and is better remembered for the idea than the execution.

5. Air Jordan 1 x Leroy “Leroy Smith”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The “Leroy Smith” is built around one of basketball’s most famous footnotes. Leroy Smith is the player who allegedly beat Michael Jordan for the last varsity spot at Laney High School in 1978, a story that MJ has credited as one of his earliest motivations.

Jordan Brand paid tribute to Smith with a dedicated Air Jordan 1 colorway, which would have been a great story if the shoe didn’t look quite so strange. The color blocking drew from Smith’s high school colors, and the terry cloth texture on the upper gave it a material choice that most sneakerheads had never seen on an AJ1 before.

Overall, it was a new look that communicated a personal Jordan story that just didn’t really translate over.

4. Wmns Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Tie-Dye”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The “Tie-Dye” Air Jordan 1 arrived as part of Jordan Brand’s women’s exclusive series and immediately became one of the more polarizing releases in that catalog. The shoe wrapped the heel and collar in a vibrant blue and turquoise tie-dye canvas that clashed with the clean leather panels.

The two materials also don’t really sit together naturally, creating a visual split that most people couldn’t get past. As a styling exercise, it was nearly impossible to work with, and the novelty of the tie-dye treatment faded much faster than we thought.

It’s a shoe that looked interesting in press photos and confusing in person. That gap is also what earned it this spot on the list.

3. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Volt Gold”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The “Volt Gold” is one of the more confusing color stories in recent Air Jordan 1 history. The white leather base is clean enough on its own, but the combination of colors sitting on top of it is where things fall apart.

A neon volt green ankle collar, university gold toe cap and heel, and black overlays throughout create a color blocking story that pulls in too many directions at once. None of the many accent colors feel like they belong together, and the white base doesn’t provide enough neutral ground to tie them all in.

Further, the volt green and university gold pairing in particular has a harsh, almost accidental quality to it. It’s a shoe that looks like several different Jordan 1 colorways that got mixed up in the same box.

2. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “First Class Flight”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The “First Class Flight” is one of the strangest design decisions in the Air Jordan 1’s entire history. Jordan Brand covered the white and yellow leather upper in barcode stamps, recycling symbols, and abstract graphic printing that turned the shoe into something closer to a shipping label than a tribute to MJ’s legacy.

The concept was built around sustainability and conscious consumption, which was a worthy message. The execution, however, made the shoe almost unwearable from a styling standpoint. It also sat heavily on clearance racks after release, which is rare for a High OG Air Jordan 1.

The “First Class Flight” is a shoe that had good intentions but ultimately finds its way at number 2 on this list.

1. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Visionaire”

Air Jordan 1
Image via GOAT

The “Visionaire” is the number one on this list. Jordan Brand wrapped the entire upper in a highlighter yellow-green leather overlay paired with a clean black Swoosh and dark laces that did very little to balance the intensity of the main color.

The sail midsole and the peach tongue padding added further conflicting tones that made the overall colorway not cohesive. The combination of neon green, black, sail, and peach is a lot to process on a single shoe, and most people couldn’t get past the aggressiveness of the “Visionaire” green as the dominant panel color.

It generated more negative reaction at release than almost any Air Jordan 1 in recent memory. Overall, it earns the top spot on this list.

Ye and Bianca Censori were spotted leaving the Living Room Club in Los Angeles on October 17th. Photos from Getty and TMZ show the couple heading out after their night.

As usual, Ye’s outfit got a lot of attention. He wore an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked, the same watch he showed off at ComplexCon. He also wore custom jeans from Noah Jeremiah.

The shoes were the real surprise since Ye wore the unreleased YZY AB-01 in a sand color. There is no release information yet.

That watch made headlines earlier this month at ComplexCon, where we also covered Ye joining Carti on stage. Since then, Ye has kept the unreleased Yeezy sightings coming. Gosha Rubchinskiy was recently spotted in a yellow Yeezy 800 as well.

The AB-01 joins a growing list of unreleased silhouettes. The Yeezy 800 sneaker is expected in December, and the Yeezy 800 boot is still waiting on a release date. Overall, it was a simple night out with a lot of interesting details.

The retail side of Yeezy is also moving. JD Sports first launched Yeezy pieces on August 13th, and the YS-01 slides sold out within minutes.

JD then scheduled a restock of the YS-01 Black for October 15th, giving fans another chance to buy. That is a big shift for a brand that used to rely mainly on its own website.

Ye has also been in the news for his jewelry. A jeweler shared photos of custom grills, and Ye’s grills response was that he did not order them.

Between the watch, the grills, and the unreleased sneakers, Ye keeps people talking. It is also a busy fall for Yeezy, with December looking like a big month for the brand.

The post Malik Nabers Steps Out In New Nigel Sylvester x Avirex Jacket appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Malik Nabers just debuted one of the most interesting jackets of the fall. The New York Giants wide receiver stepped out in the Nigel Sylvester x Avirex Icon “Brick,” and it was impossible to miss.

The jacket is a cream leather bomber, which is Avirex’s signature style. It has ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem, and Nabers wore it open over a white tee and a chain. A red patch on the chest shows a brick pattern and the word “Brick,” tying it to Nigel’s world.

The best part is on the inside. The satin lining has a poem embroidered in red, signed by Nigel. It starts with a line about Grandma’s Driveway and works through every chapter of his Jordan story.

Overall, it is a clever way to turn a jacket into a timeline. The poem moves from “Brick by Brick” to “Better With Time” and ends with “Brick After Brick.” Each phrase matches one of his recent projects.

Avirex’s label sits on the lining with its 1975 mark, a nod to the New York brand’s roots. There are no official release details yet. We do not know the price, whether it is limited, or if it will be sold.

Nigel Sylvester x Avirex Icon “Brick”

Avirex is a New York original. The brand started in 1975 making military-style flight jackets, and it became a staple in hip-hop fashion in the 2000s. Nigel is also a New York original, so the partnership makes sense.

The Queens native has built his career on storytelling, and this jacket tells a story of its own. The Brick idea has grown over the last two years. “Brick by Brick” became one of the biggest Air Jordan 4 releases of 2025, and “Brick After Brick” followed in May.

Seeing an NFL player debut the jacket adds another layer. Football tunnel fits have turned into a big fashion platform, and Nabers made the most of it. Earlier this month, he also posted 11 catches for 121 yards in a tie with the Commanders.

Hopefully there is more to come. A drop like this could be the start of a larger Avirex capsule. For now, Nabers has given us a very good first look.

The post Jaylen Brown Opens Up To Lil Baby About His Worst Purchase appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Jaylen Brown is getting real about his spending habits. While sitting down with Lil Baby, the NBA star said buying a Porsche Turbo in 2022 was the worst purchase he has ever made.

His reason is pretty funny. Brown said he bought the car because he loves James Bond. Unfortunately, the fantasy never really got going. Brown said he has never driven the car.

That is a big flex and a big regret at the same time. Luxury cars are a classic athlete purchase, but they only matter if you actually use them.

The conversation with Lil Baby was a wide-ranging one. Brown also talked about his move from Boston to Philadelphia and what it was like to accept the trade. He has been open about how emotional the process was.

Overall, it is a fun moment from a player who is usually serious about basketball and business. Hearing him laugh about a huge purchase makes him feel a lot more relatable.

Jaylen Brown Regrets Porsche Turbo

Brown has talked about money before, and not every purchase has been a miss. In the same conversation, he said one of his favorite purchases was a harp.

It is a very unusual flex for an NBA player. Instead of another car or watch, Brown picked something that brings music into his home.

That contrast makes the Porsche story even funnier. One purchase gets enjoyed, and the other has never left the driveway.

Brown has also been busy with his brand, 7UICE, which recently teamed up with BAPE on a BAPE STA. That project shows where he puts his focus these days.

For now, the Porsche remains a reminder that even the biggest stars make impulse buys. We will see if Brown ever takes it out for a spin.

The post The Europe-Exclusive Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” Gets Release Date appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Jordan Brand has another Air Jordan 4 on the way, but fans in the United States will have to look overseas. The “Light Army” is a Europe exclusive, and it is dropping on October 31st.

The pair is set to launch through Nike SNKRS Europe and select European retailers. Stores like JD Sports and BSTN have shown early photos. The style code is JA5911-320.

Overall, the palette is calm and earthy. A soft olive nubuck covers most of the upper. Khaki and light silver touches add depth, while off-white details keep it clean.

The shape is the same Air Jordan 4 that fans know. Mesh panels, plastic wings, and a visible Air unit are all included. The muted military tones make it feel right for fall.

Pricing depends on where you shop. Reports list a $220 price, while European listings show 210 euros at retail, with some stores listing a little less.

There is no word on a United States release. That means fans outside Europe will need to use a European shop or head to the resale market.

Some of the colors feel familiar. Many fans will compare the palette to the Air Jordan 4 “Cave Stone” and “Georgetown,” which also lean on soft, grown-up tones.

Air Jordan 4 “Light Army”

The Air Jordan 4 has been everywhere in 2026. Between general releases, collabs, and regional pairs, there is a lot of choice. Some fans are starting to feel fatigue.

Regional exclusives like this help. They make a familiar silhouette feel special again, since not everyone can buy it.

Jordan Brand has used this strategy before. Earlier this year we saw Mexico-only pairs, and the Air Jordan 3 “Middle East” is coming to that region. Nike CEO Elliott Hill also said Jordan Brand plans to make retros more scarce. A European-only drop fits that idea, although it is not clear if it is part of the same plan.

If you want a pair from the United States, plan ahead. European retailers may ship overseas, but sizes can disappear quickly.

The post 50 Cent Takes Sly Shot At Rick Ross While Flaunting “Street Fighter” Success appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
While the new Street Fighter movie has only 42% on Rotten Tomatoes at press time, 50 Cent is much happier focusing on its commercial success. The fighting game adaptation, in which 50 acts and provides music, is leading the box office this weekend with a $51 million opening, per The Wrap. He took to his Instagram page today (Sunday, October 18) to celebrate this debut, throw shade at the Whalefall flick premiering alongside it, and throw in a shot at his frequent enemy Rick Ross for good measure.

“You know damn well I wasn’t gonna be beat by a damn whale movie LOL,” the G-Unit mogul wrote, later seemingly referencing his Maybach Music Group counterpart. “Fat boy gonna say bots brought the tickets.”

This refers to Rick Ross downplaying 50 Cent’s financial success. Most recently, he levied “bot” allegations against the launch of the new G-Unit sneakers, alleging they didn’t sell as much as he flaunted.

We’re sure this conversation will continue to evolve, as Ross is probably prepping his response as of writing this article. Elsewhere, Fif will have many more opportunities to double down as Street Fighter stays in theaters, whether in successful or underwhelming ways he can spin in his advantage.

Rick Ross & 50 Cent Beef

Most recently, 50 Cent revealed his real thoughts on Rick Ross, characterizing a long-running feud as mostly comedy to him. “I tell you, the most difficult beef to have… It’s when the person you’re beefing with is law enforcement,” he shared on The Crew Has It. “You can’t do much. They are sworn in under oath… When it [gets] hot, they’re just going to tell, bro. Trust me on that one, man.”

Elsewhere, Rick Ross has more pressing matters to deal with, as he faces domestic violence allegations. After his ex girlfriend Jazzma Kendrick accused him of abuse, authorities in Miami arrested him on battery charges. It’s still not explicitly clear if these two situations connect.
