50 Cent and T.I. have been at odds for a while now, and in February, their feud was reignited. The two of them went back and forth online before the Atlanta rapper decided to take things up a notch. He unleashed multiple diss tracks aimed at the G-Unit boss. When Fif dissed his wife, Tiny Harris, his sons got involved.

Both King and Domani Harris targeted their father’s foe in diss tracks of their own. They referenced 50 Cent’s domestic violence allegations, his late mother, and more. During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, Tiny shared her thoughts on all of this, admitting that it made her proud. According to her, however, the situation eventually went too far.

“[King] took it very personal, and he just was going so far,” she recalled. “I kept calling King like, ‘Take this down, take this down.’ He was like, ‘No, I can’t, mama.’ […] I just couldn’t get him to listen to me.”

Why Are 50 Cent & T.I. Beefing?

As for how T.I. felt about his kids getting involved in the beef, he agrees that King went too far. On The Laura Ebro Rosenberg Show earlier this month, he claimed the 21-year-old crossed the line when he rocked a t-shirt with 50 Cent’s mother on it.

“The one thing that I am proud of out of all this is that the women and children in our family see that it’s a line of men that’s here against who-the-f*ck-ever,” he explained. “I said that’s enough when I seen that damn T-shirt. […] I said, ‘Man, chill out.’ I’m big on treating people the way I want to be treated.”

T.I. reignited his feud with 50 Cent during a podcast appearance back in February. At the time, he accused the mogul of backing out of a Verzuz battle they had both agreed to. He said that he lost all respect for him as a result, prompting various fiery social media posts from the “Many Men” performer.

50 Cent Donates Healthy Sum From Diddy Documentary To Domestic Violence Nonprofits https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/985794-50-cent-nonprofit-donations-diddy-documentary Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:46:13 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=985794 50 Cent is fulfilling a public promise he made during the early stages of creating "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" and it's a beneficial one.

The post 50 Cent Donates Healthy Sum From Diddy Documentary To Domestic Violence Nonprofits appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

50 Cent is making a generous donation to several nonprofit organizations across Shreveport/Bossier City, Louisiana. They include Gingerbread House, The Fountain’s Community Development Corporation (CDC), and Families Helping Families Region 7. Others are the Elle Foundation, Moms on a Mission, and Best 13.

Then, rounding out the rest of the list are MLK Community Development Corporation (CDC), MLK Neighborhood Association, and the Northwest Louisiana Youth Golf & Education Foundation.

“I said I would donate proceeds to domestic violence and to sexual assault victims, and I keep my word. I didn’t say where I would make the donations, and I like Shreveport,” 50 Cent said in a video caught by 2Cool2Blog.

The rapper and entrepreneur has been working alongside the Shreveport community for a handful of years now, so it’s cool to see him continuing this relationship in this way.

As caught by KSLA, Councilwoman Tabatha Taylor expressed that very sentiment in her address. “It is a commitment that he made when he chose Shreveport, Louisiana. It is nice for us to have economic development, but in that process, too, we need to make sure people are whole.”

Overall, 50 Cent has donated a total of $500,000 to these nine organizations, which all support domestic violence and sexual assault victims. He’s pulling the money from the earnings acquired via the Diddy Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning.

50 Cent Blasts Usher For Diddy Comments

As he stated in the clip, 50 Cent did in fact make this promise a couple of years ago. “All G-Unit Film & Television proceeds from this Documentary will go to victims of Sexual Assault and Rape!” he said in a social media post per Daily Mail.

While this a great deed on Fif’s part, there’s no doubt that all of this ultimately ties back to his beef with Diddy. Just yesterday, he made it a point to call out Usher, who came to the disgraced mogul’s defense. “Usher like I don’t want people to know what he did to my a*s. I’m a grown man now my a*s is off limits. LOL.”

This Instagram caption accompanied a screenshot of PEOPLE covering the singer’s viral remarks. Speaking of those, Usher said in part, “I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer. I don’t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs. My experience was not what the world has seen and how he’s been, you know, misrepresented.”

He continued, “I’m not saying that every man is perfect. I’m not saying that all of us don’t have flaws, but I can’t with any sense of humanity not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as Black entrepreneurs, for us as people who transition culture and ideas into something that’s tangible. So many people benefited from what he created. And I acknowledge that. That’s why I see him as legacy.”

Bob Barker Accused Of Making Heinous Racist Remarks https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/985790-bob-barker-allegedl-racist-remarks Thu, 26 Mar 2026 19:55:25 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=985790 Bob Barker was beloved, but many have felt that he tried to hide his real self for the cameras and TV lights.

The post Bob Barker Accused Of Making Heinous Racist Remarks appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

There’s no doubt that Bob Barker is and always will be a TV icon. His effortless job as a host all while being an animal rights activist in tandem with that made him a beloved figure pretty quickly. But many folks believe that The Price Is Right star had a nasty personality underneath his shimmering persona.

Those allegations are coming back to light this week thanks to some recent episodes of the E! docuseries, Dirty Rotten Scandals. The miniseries also focused on other popular programs such as Dr. Phil and America’s Next Top Model.

The two episodes for Price Is Right aired last week and viewers are resharing some clips that supposedly prove Bob Barker’s alleged racism and more. Per a press release acquired by E! the goal was to focus on “the complex truth behind long-rumored toxic workplace operations, sexual harassment and discrimination allegations, and multiple lawsuits that defined a very different era in Hollywood.”

The two episodes interviewed former employees, including Bob Barker’s models on the show known as “Barker’s Beauties.” They recall some alleged moments of Barker’s racism and hateful remarks. Kathleen Bradley, the show’s first full-time Black model, described the work environment as hostile. “Some of the fans were writing negative things about me being on the show,” she says in the series. She also claims that during production meetings, staff allegedly used racial slurs when models weren’t present.

Another employee, Claudia Jordan, alleges this was true even after she joined the program 10 years later. She focused on the contestant selection, alleging there was a racist undertone. Jordan alleges only a small number of Black contestants were allowed per taping. “That was a direct order from Bob Barker,” she alleges.

When Did Bob Barker Pass Away?

Another model, Holly Hallstrom, alleges Bob Barker expressed severe discomfort over interracial relationships. He allegedly said that Black men in particular are “the most diseased people on Earth.”

Another moment in the series that’s vindicating people’s claims against Barker is a dug-up clip. The viral video, caught by The Hollywood Reporter, shows Barker backing away from a Black contestant trying to hug him.

Despite Bob Barker passing away almost three full years ago (August 25, 2023), the conversations regarding his alleged racist behavior and comments are loud again thanks to social media and this E! docuseries.

How Much Is Jay-Z Worth In 2026? https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/985778-jay-z-worth-2026 Thu, 26 Mar 2026 19:09:49 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=985778 Jay-Z has racked up a massive fortune over the years thanks to his music empire, liquor business, and more.

The post How Much Is Jay-Z Worth In 2026? appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Plenty of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into Jay-Z’s career over the years. Fortunately, he has something to show for it. Forbes reports that the Roc Nation boss is the wealthiest musician in the world. His net worth is estimated to be roughly $2.8 billion. Per the outlet, this is thanks to his liquor company, stakes in Uber and Tidal, and more, in addition to his music empire.

During a recent interview with GQ, Hov opened up about some of the criticism he’s received for his wealth. He made it clear that it doesn’t faze him in the slightest, despite how brutal haters can be.

“I got to give you the honest answer: There’s no tension,” he admitted. “I don’t give a f*ck what you say. [Laughs.] You can believe what you want to believe. And people behave the way they want to behave—it’s not a dollar amount. It’s almost like a cop-out. You get to demonize this group of folks without fixing the actual system that exists, that’s in play. [Money] may enhance it or may cause you to act in a way. But you was going to act like that anyway.”

Jay-Z’s GQ Interview

This wasn’t the only controversial topic Jay-Z discussed during the interview, either. He was also asked about selecting Kendrick Lamar to headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans. Many speculated that this was his way of picking a side in the Compton rapper’s beef with Drake, but according to him, that’s not the case.

Instead, he says he simply went with the person who made the most sense to him. At that time, it just so happened to be the “Not Like Us” performer.

“I chose the guy that was having a monster year,” he explained. “I think it was the right choice. What do I care about them two guys battling? What’s that got to do with me? Have at it. They drag everybody in it, like everyone’s part of this conspiracy to undermine Drake, I guess. But, it’s like, what the f*ck? I’m f*cking Jay-Z!”

A F&F Exclusive Fragment x Nike Air Force 1 Has Surfaced https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/985767-fragment-x-nike-air-force-1-low-ff-sneaker-news Thu, 26 Mar 2026 18:32:11 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=985767 An exclusive friends and family Fragment x Nike Air Force 1 Low has surfaced online, featuring a minimal two-colorway design.

The post A F&F Exclusive Fragment x Nike Air Force 1 Has Surfaced appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design rarely does things the obvious way. A new set of images has surfaced showing an exclusive Fragment x Nike Air Force 1 Low. This pair appears to be a friends and family edition not intended for public release. As far as anyone knows, these will not be hitting shelves anytime soon.

Two colorways have been revealed in the leaked images. One features a clean white base with a black Swoosh panel on the midfoot. The other swaps the black out for a muted blue version of the same design. Both pairs feature “FRGMT” printed directly into the white midsole alongside the classic “AIR” text.

The internet has had mixed feelings about what it sees. Some sneaker fans have called the design boring and uncreative. Others argue that minimalism is exactly what Fragment does best. The divide in opinion has generated significant conversation online regardless of which side you land on.

It is worth noting that Fragment has always leaned toward restraint. Fujiwara’s design philosophy rarely chases hype with loud graphics or flashy colorways. This Air Force 1 feels completely on brand for someone who has always let simplicity do the talking.

Overall, the Fragment x Nike Air Force 1 Low F&F is doing exactly what a good exclusive should. It’s making people want what they can’t have.

Friends & Family Fragment x Nike Air Force 1 Low

The Fragment x Nike Air Force 1 Low F&F keeps things deliberately understated. A tumbled white leather upper covers the entire base of both pairs. The defining detail is a rectangular Swoosh panel sitting on the midfoot area.

One version uses black leather for that panel while the other goes with blue. The contrast between the white base and the panel color is the entire design statement. “FRGMT” is imprinted into the midsole next to the classic “AIR” branding.

There are no extra graphics, no loud colors, and no distracting details anywhere. That restraint is either the whole point or the whole problem depending on who you ask. Either way it is unmistakably Fragment.

Jaidyn Alexis has come a long way since she met Blueface. The 27-year-old has had two kids, launched a rap career, and much more. Now, the former Baddies star is single and ready to mingle, and fans can watch her do so from the comfort of their own homes. Earlier this week, she announced a new dating show called Finding Love For Jaidyn on Instagram. It will see a group of several men and women compete for the “Stewie” performer’s affection, and will be available to watch on CIXOT Network and Patreon starting this Sunday (March 29).

Blueface’s mother, Karlissa Saffold, is behind the series. She shared her own announcement on Instagram, along with a disclaimer.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, ‘Finding Love For Jaidyn,'” she wrote. “Cixot Network, does not condone violence, Same sex marriage or sex before marriage or any other sin against Christianity. However we do understand and respect everyone’s perspective and their choices. Every moment is a coachable moment and you know dam well I’m going to coach.”

“I hope you enjoy the storyline, transparency and all that everyone brought to Cixot to make this show a true success,” Saffold continued. “Thank you to Jaidyn Alexis for allowing us the opportunity to showcase her first major role, thank you to Brianna Piece Production manager, 909 and 1Man1vision our video team whose grown with us since day 1!!! I will share each individual contestant on my IG account for yall to follow your fan favorites. Now let’s get the show on the road.”

News of the upcoming series arrives as Jaidyn continues to have issues with Blueface. While the two of them are on speaking terms for the sake of their kids, they frequently find themselves going viral for having arguments during livestreams.

Today, for example, a clip of Jaidyn calling Blueface out for sending Nevaeh Akira money and not her is making its rounds online. Nevaeh is currently pregnant with the “Thotiana” rapper’s fourth child. They got together shortly after he was released from prison in November.

A woman in attendance at Gunna’s show in London last night is alleging she was sexually assaulted. The fan, who goes by mtrendin on Instagram, alleges a man ejaculated on her and is currently being questioned by police. Her alleged story quickly went viral over on Twitter, with others showing her immense support.

She wrote on her now-deleted Instagram Story, “I’ve been waiting for years to see Gunna perform and people that know me know how much I love him.” mtrendin, who’s apparent real name is Mureena, continues, “But instead a sick individual decided to ruin my experience and turn it into the worst night of my life.”

“Women are honestly not safe. How can this individual nut on me as in I felt a white substance on me and even saw his penis poking out, he had no remorse in his eyes. I spent my whole night crying and in disgust.”

Mureena then proceeded to share a photo of the alleged offender. She alleges that he wasn’t caught until he allegedly changed his outfit in the bathroom.

Mureena caught wind of those expressing worry and sadness for her, thanking them for watching out. “I’ve been crying all day because I keep reliving yesterday and how I felt when I saw the substance on my right leg,” she alleges.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Chrisean Rock is facing some serious legal issues despite her commitment to getting her life in order. Per TMZ, the mother of one was hit with two misdemeanor charges for allegedly driving on a suspended license in Hermosa Beach, California, last year. In February, she was supposed to appear in court for a hearing. Allegedly, she didn’t show up, leading officials to issue a warrant for her arrest.

Amid the reports, Chrisean took to her Instagram Story to set the record straight, as captured by The Shade Room Teens. According to her, her licence is not currently suspended, and she has a court date coming up. Moreover, she says the situation isn’t actually a big deal, and it will be sorted out in no time.

“My license is not suspended. It’s currently restricted for travel to and from work,” she wrote. “Also, the court date has been rescheduled. I have looked more into the situation and it will be easily resolved. When I was in LA, I didn’t have my ID to resolve it. I just received my current ID. It’s only a $270 fee to get it unrestricted. The fight is still on April 25th. Thanks for y’all concerns. Traffic court will be handled ASAP.”

Chrisean Rock & Blueface Drama

News of Chrisean’s response to her legal woes arrives just a few weeks after her ex, Blueface, decided to stir up some drama on Twitter/X. Once again, he insisted that he’s not their son’s biological father.

“Jr is not my biological son RIP to his father Ronnie,” he wrote. “I can no longer continue the plot. It doesn’t feel right as a present father in all my kids life to be discredited as a absence father to a child that is not biologically mine. I tried my best to fill in the blanks because his biological father is no longer with us but I can’t continue the plot. It doesn’t feel right.”

Chrisean later fired back by claiming she wouldn’t fall for his latest attempt to get a rise out of her, prompting him to say he wants nothing to do with her or their child.

Roman Reigns has always brought a certain authority to his appearances. The WWE superstar recently made his presence felt both in the ring and on his feet. Reigns was spotted wearing the Fragment Design x Union LA x Air Jordan 1. It is one of the most coveted three-way collaborations in sneaker history.

The choice of footwear did not go unnoticed by sneaker fans watching the broadcast. Reigns laced up the pair during a WWE segment that already had the internet talking. Seeing a shoe this rare on a platform this large is always a moment. It introduces one of sneaker culture’s most respected collabs to an entirely new audience.

Fragment Design and Union LA are two of the most respected names in the game. Their combined involvement on any Jordan 1 automatically elevates the shoe’s significance. Adding both to the same pair made it one of the most discussed Jordan collabs of its release year. Reigns clearly has someone in his corner with serious sneaker knowledge.

CM Punk was also present in the same segment wearing the Shattered Backboard Jordan 1. The contrast between both pairs created an unintentional sneaker battle on live television. Two legends, two iconic Jordan 1s, one ring. Overall, Roman Reigns proved you can command attention from the ground up.

The Fragment Design x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 is a landmark sneaker collaboration. It brings together Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design and Chris Gibbs’ Union LA in one shoe.

The upper combines white leather with black overlays across the toe and ankle. Royal blue hits appear on the midsole and collar area adding strong contrast. Gold detailing runs along the lace eyelets for a premium finishing touch.

Red and yellow accents on the collar keep the energy loud and layered. The Nike Air branding on the tongue nods to the original heritage of the silhouette. Both brands’ logos appear subtly throughout without competing for attention.

This is the kind of Jordan 1 that belongs in a collection and on a very special pair of feet.

Nicki Minaj has stood tall amidst all of the backlash she’s received after starting to support Donald Trump late last year. However, while she believes it’s only fueled more success for herself, it seems other celebrities don’t see it that way. According to sources close to British American journalist Rob Shuter, Minaj’s support for the MAGA agenda is getting her shunned from the 2026 Met Gala.

Taking to his Substack, the Naughty But Nice host shared one of his insider’s quotes that makes it sound all but official that she’s not going to be able to make an appearance.

“‘Nicki’s invitations didn’t just slow down — they vanished,’ one industry insider tells me. ‘Hollywood stopped returning her calls. This isn’t subtle anymore. She’s been shut out.'”

This seems to be universal as another source tells Shuter, “There’s an invisible wall around her now… no one wants to be seen opening the gate.”

Shuter also gathered that what “sealed her fate” was her attendance at last year’s Turning Point USA AmFest.

Did Nicki Minaj’s Manager Drop Her?

A third source of the reporter told him bluntly, “That was it. Hollywood doesn’t forgive this kind of alignment — especially when it’s loud and unapologetic.”

It also seems that her feud with Jay-Z and Roc Nation is adding extra fuel to this fire. “Between the politics and the Roc Nation war, nobody wants to touch this,” another voice says. However, while things seem bleak for Nicki Minaj now, things could get better in the future. “There’s no formal ban — just a collective step back.”

It’s also worth noting that Beyonce is one of this year’s hosts/curators, along with Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour.

Time is running out if it hasn’t already for the rapper. The 2026 Met Gala begins on May 4, meaning it’s almost a month away.

Things aren’t much better elsewhere for Nicki as reports surfaced over this past weekend that Minaj’s longtime manager, Debra Antney dropped her. They do seem to be false, with the latter resharing some posts that suggested otherwise.

But there’s already so much controversy that’s swirling around her. Regardless of if these developments aren’t factual, they still aren’t making things better.
