Grab Your Popcorn (Remix) – Song by KUR & Lil Uzi Vert https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010026-grab-your-popcorn-kur-lil-uzi-vert Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:59:36 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010026 Philadelphia spitter KUR has just gotten a huge feature from Lil Uzi Vert on the remix to his hit song, "Grab Your Popcorn."

Lil Uzi Vert has proudly repped Philadelphia over the years, and he is doing so on Thursday with a remix of KUR’s song “Grab Your Popcorn.” These two have very different styles, although they merge together quite nicely on this brand-new track. KUR carries the vast majority of the track as he switches between flows over top of some smooth production. However, Uzi’s verse certainly makes an impression as the artist gets into his spitter bag. It’s a dope collab, and one that showcases how unified Philly artists can be.

Release Date: September 17, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Grab Your Popcorn (Remix)

Tell me what’s good, I threw up the hood in front of the camera (Yeah)
I’m doing everything I said I would, it’s not to be challenged (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Dick on wood, the bitch look good, this shit is bananas (What?)
Weather is cold, I’m catching a flight to go where it’s warm and sandy (Oh-oh-oh)

DJ Akademiks Leaks Texts With Meek Mill, Begs Rapper To Visit His House https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010020-dj-akademiks-meek-mill-beef-leaked-texts Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:52:23 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010020 DJ Akademiks and Meek Mill are in a bitter feud, and now, Ak is begging for Meek Mill to come to his house.

The post DJ Akademiks Leaks Texts With Meek Mill, Begs Rapper To Visit His House appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Following the Lil Durk verdict, Meek Mill had some pointed comments towards DJ Akademiks and his role in the culture. Meek also threatened to show up at Akademiks’ house, where they would hash out their decade-long beef.

Of course, Akademiks did not like this very much, and he made those feelings known. He posted a video of the gun collection he keeps in his home, which was an obvious response to Meek’s threats.

On Wednesday evening, Akademiks hopped on X, where he taunted Meek with leaked text messages. Ak began by lamenting how Meek had yet to pull up to his home, despite the address being publicly available online. From there, he showcased alleged leaked text messages in which Meek tried to call the commentator numerous times.

“U ain’t reach my house yet,” Akademiks wrote. “I been dying to make an example of a bitch Ass n***a like u. I beg u to come to here. Imma make an example outta u. Come to my house boy. Just remember that bitch ass n***a @MeekMill said he was gon stream Infront of my house 2 years ago and he still ain’t come here . Meek I been beggging u to Come here urself. U said u was gon piss on shit. Boss up. I’m waiting.”

DJ Akademiks Eggs On Beef With Meek Mill

Akademiks subsequently compared Meek to Lil Durk and Pooh Shiesty. He also referenced their supposed boxing challenge, which Meek ultimately turned down two years ago.

“If meek think he Durk or Pooh shiesty … bro then ain’t no talking. U talked about pulling up to a n***a LO. N***a I been waiting for YOU,” Ak continued. “Unless u think im keeping diff energy when he hit me vs publicly. I ain’t getting on no live. Come to my crib n see wat up Rihmeek. U a bitch I asked u to box 24 months ago. U ain’t like that.”

At this point, it doesn’t appear as though Akademiks or Meek are interested in reconciling. The two have had issues with each other since 2015, and they have clashing philosophies when it comes to rap media.

Meek Mill has yet to respond to Akademiks’ Wednesday night rant.

Rockstar Games Announces “GTA VI: The Album” Release Date: How To Pre-Order https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010012-gta-vi-the-album-release-date-pre-prder Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:30:01 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010012 Rockstar Games is taking "GTA VI" to another level with a special album that is going to drop on the same day as the game.

GTA VI is the most anticipated video game of all time, and Rockstar Games is acting as they know it. After a successful Netflix extended look, the company has since returned to social media with another album. The game is getting its very own album with 34 original songs.

Earlier this week, artists like Yung Lean, Metro Boomin, Future, and even Travis Scott teased their involvement in the soundtrack. Along with today’s announcement, their songs were officially released on streaming platforms. GTA VI: The Album comes with “RHYNO” by Travis Scott, as well as “That’s It,” by Future, Yung Lean, and Metro Boomin.

Alongside this announcement, it was revealed that the album will be released on the same day as the game, which just so happens to be November 19. Collectors will be able to buy a double-CD, a vinyl, or a limited edition vinyl of the album.

GTA VI: The Album Is Almost Here

If you go to the album’s official website, all of these items are already available to pre-order. The CD is $19.98, the vinyl is $49.98, and the limited edition vinyl is $124.98. This may be expensive, but GTA VI is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so the prices should not be surprising.

Along with the six new tracks, you can officially begin the process of pre-saving the album, whether on Spotify or Apple Music. Needless to say, Rockstar Games has really thought of everything as they go deep into the rollout for GTA VI.

After months of radio silence, it has become crystal clear that this game is on track for its November 19 release. Whether or not it lives up to the hype is a different story entirely.

Six songs have been released this morning, including “RHYNO” with Travis Scott. Below, you will find “That’s It,” which comes with performances from the likes of Yung Lean, Future, and Metro Boomin. It is a dope mix of styles, and the track certainly comes with that Vice City flavor Rockstar Games is going for. The GTA VI hype could not be any bigger right now, and these releases are proof of that. Let us know what you think of the song, in the comments below.

Travis Scott recently teased that he would be part of the soundtrack for GTA VI. Today, he dropped his song in collaboration with Rockstar Games, which will be featured on GTA VI: The Album. Just moments ago, Rockstar announced that the album would be available in physical form alongside the game on November 19. Today, pre-orders opened, and six new songs were released. Scott’s “RHYNO” was one of them, and it’s not your usual Travis song. Overall, the beat here is gnarly, in the best way possible. Meanwhile, Scott brings some rager energy, and there are even references to the game’s strip club, “Jack of Hearts.” Needless to say, the hype for this game is off the charts.

Stefon Diggs Gets Custom Air Jordan 17 Low “Lightning” Cleats https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1010000-stefon-diggs-air-jordan-17-low-lightning-sneaker-news Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:03:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1010000 Stefon Diggs debuted custom Air Jordan 17 Low "Lightning" cleats, continuing his run of hand-painted Jordan Brand customs.

The post Stefon Diggs Gets Custom Air Jordan 17 Low “Lightning” Cleats appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Stefon Diggs has a custom pair of Air Jordan 17 Low “Lightning” cleats made and ready to go this season. The design mirrors the retail colorway that returned in 2024, itself a tribute to the pair Michael Jordan wore during his first All-Star Game appearance with the Wizards. White leather covers the base, with yellow and black detailing running throughout.

Diggs has built a reputation over the years as one of the NFL’s most consistent custom cleat wearers. He works regularly with sneaker artist Dan “Mache” Gamache, who hand-paints a new pair for him almost every week. Past designs have ranged from Jordan 7 and Jordan 5 tributes to cleats honoring musicians and even his favorite movies.

This latest pair arrives as Diggs starts a new chapter with the Washington Commanders after signing there this year. He’s remained loyal to Jordan Brand throughout multiple team changes, going back to when he first signed his endorsement deal years ago while still with the Bills.

Since Diggs prioritizes function as much as style, Jordan Brand doesn’t just paint over a stock cleat for him. These customs actually use the lightweight upper from Nike’s Vapor Edge 360 Speed, with Jordan-style overlays added on top to mimic the retail silhouette.

Stefon Diggs’ Air Jordan 17 Low “Lightning” Cleats

What makes Diggs’ cleat rotation stand out is how consistent it’s been over the years. Very few NFL players commit to a new custom look nearly every single week the way he does. That consistency has turned his cleat game into its own kind of storyline throughout the season.

The “Lightning” colorway specifically ties back to one of Michael Jordan’s more memorable sneaker moments. Recreating that same look on a functional football cleat blends 2 different eras of sneaker culture into one design. It’s the level of detail that fans who follow both basketball history and NFL fashion will really like.

There’s no announcement yet on which game Diggs might actually debut these in. Given his track record, it likely won’t be long before this pair makes its way onto the field in Washington.

The post Jalen Brunson’s Personal Kobe PE Is Finally Dropping appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro “What The Rick” releases Summer 2027 for $200. It’s set to launch through SNKRS and select Nike Basketball retailers. The style code is JA7364-800.

This marks Jalen Brunson’s second Kobe 5 release and his fourth PE overall to get a wider launch. The colorway is officially listed as Total Orange, Black, and Hyper Cobalt. Unlike most “What The” Kobe releases, this one keeps a symmetrical design instead of mismatching the left and right shoes.

Brunson first debuted the pair on April 24, 2025, during Game 3 of New York’s first-round playoff series against Detroit. Rick Brunson, Jalen’s father, played 9 seasons in the NBA before moving into coaching. He now serves as an assistant coach with the Knicks.

Each panel on the shoe ties back to a team Rick suited up for during his playing career. That list includes Portland, New York, Boston, Chicago, Toronto, the Clippers, Seattle, and Houston. The Knicks connection stands out the most, with blue and orange taking over much of the forefoot and side panels.

An earlier release in New York City is expected before the wider national launch happens.

Jalen Brunson x Nike Kobe 5 Protro “What The Rick”

Brunson has built a reputation over the past two seasons for rolling out standout Kobe PEs. Past examples include a Joker-inspired colorway and rare Protro pairs like “Del Sol” and “Bruce Lee.” Turning one of these personal tributes into an actual retail release is a rare move for Nike’s Kobe line.

Nike has leaned hard into Knicks-related sneaker activations since the team’s championship run. A previously New York City-exclusive Air Force 1 in Knicks colors is also expected to get a wider release soon. Bringing “What The Rick” to retail fits right into that same momentum.

Brunson has become one of the most visible faces of Nike’s Kobe Brand today. Getting a personal, family-driven design like this turned into a public release says a lot about how much the brand values that connection. For Knicks fans and Kobe collectors alike, this is shaping up as one of the more meaningful releases of 2027.

Lucki’s Ex-Manager Claims Rapper Owes More Than $1 Million https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009987-lucki-lawsuit-former-manager Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:30:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009987 A new lawsuit accuses Lucki of leaving his former manager with major financial losses after years of working together.

The post Lucki’s Ex-Manager Claims Rapper Owes More Than $1 Million appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Five years of managing Lucki allegedly left Mark Buol with drained savings, maxed-out credit cards, and more than $1 million in unpaid commissions. The former Empire executive is now suing the Chicago rapper for $1.5 million, claiming their working relationship ended with him carrying expenses that were supposed to be reimbursed.

Buol filed the federal complaint Sept. 8 in Manhattan, according to AllHipHop. The case is also listed in the Southern District of New York as Buol v. Camel Jr., with Buol demanding a jury trial. The lawsuit says Buol managed Lucki from 2021 until 2026 under an oral agreement that entitled him to 15 percent of the rapper’s entertainment income, along with repayment for approved advances. Buol claims he accepted the reduced commission because Lucki agreed to bring in an accountant and handle his finances more formally, something the manager alleges never happened.

Their relationship reportedly began breaking down ahead of a 2024 Canadian tour. Buol says he had already been covering expenses himself and eventually told Lucki he would no longer bankroll the operation. He briefly stepped away after a hotel confrontation, but claims Lucki convinced him to return by promising to open a business account, fund it with more than $100,000, and provide a company credit card. Buol alleges those promises never materialized.

Lucki’s Former Manager Says He Paid For Tour Expenses Himself

Much of the complaint deals with what Buol says happened once he resumed working with the rapper. He claims he sold investments, depleted his savings, and maxed out personal credit cards while financing Lucki’s touring operation, including roughly $214,822 for the 30-city Gemini Tour.

The spending allegedly went beyond ordinary travel costs. AllHipHop reports that Buol claims Lucki caused about $15,000 in hotel damage, including a shattered television at Nobu Atlanta, marijuana burns on furniture, and more than $6,000 in charges from a single night at the Tampa EDITION.

Buol also accuses Lucki of directing Empire and other companies to send money that should have covered his 15 percent management commission directly to the rapper instead. He says more than $1 million in commissions remains unpaid, along with at least $225,000 in advances he wants reimbursed. The complaint also describes threats after their relationship deteriorated. Buol alleges Lucki told him to stay out of his business and threatened to make sure no one in the industry worked with him again.

The case arrives while Lucki is already dealing with other business disputes. Blueprint Productions sued him in August for nearly $182,000 over allegedly unpaid merchandise invoices connected to his 2024 tour. Empire has also accused him of violating an exclusive distribution agreement by releasing music through another company.

Shannon Sharpe thought he was teeing up a question about Joseline Hernandez’s relationship with Tory Lanez. Instead, he got an immediate correction. “I ain’t cool with that n*gga. Who the f*ck told you that?” Hernandez said during the latest episode of Club Shay Shay after Sharpe suggested the two were close.

Sharpe explained that he had read they were friends, which prompted Hernandez to clarify that she has no personal issue with Lanez but also doesn’t consider him someone she had a real relationship with. “No, I don’t got no beef with him,” she said. Hernandez added that she was aware of the case involving Megan Thee Stallion, as millions of people are, but had no interest in inserting herself into a situation she did not personally know enough about.

“I really don’t have anything to say about it because I don’t know what the f*ck going on with that,” she said during the Club Shay Shay interview. Sharpe then made it clear he wasn’t asking her to weigh in on the 2020 shooting itself. He wanted to know what kind of relationship she had with Lanez before his incarceration.

Joseline Hernandez Says Tory Lanez “Was Liking On The Princess”

That answer was even simpler. “We never had a relationship like that,” Hernandez said. Yet, she did offer one detail that may explain why people assumed otherwise. “He was liking on the Princess,” she added, referring to herself by her longtime “Puerto Rican Princess” nickname.

The comment suggested Lanez may have been interested at some point, but Hernandez stopped well short of describing anything romantic or serious between them. Her response was more about correcting a story she did not recognize than revisiting an old connection. Check out the full episode of Club Shay Shay with Joseline Hernandez below.

Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2022 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying an unregistered loaded firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence in connection with the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. His appeal of the conviction was rejected in November 2025.

Hernandez did not defend Lanez or offer a theory about what happened that night. She simply rejected the idea that his legal situation was something she could speak on from personal experience. As for whatever existed between the two before then, Hernandez said there was no relationship to explain.
