Candace Owens is speaking out against the music industry and its practices over a Kanye West sample quote. The conservative commentator wants to use seven seconds of audio from the Chicago rapper for her namesake podcast’s intro.

However, per her tweet caught by Mike Winslow of AllHipHop, she’s at a crossroads. While she likes it a lot, she claims UMG wants $40,000 for it. As a result, she wants to see some sort of change to the Constitution, like an “addendum to the 13th amendment.”

Moreover, she informs her 7.5 million followers that she’s been in contact with Kanye West about re-recording his music. “The problem is that all of Ye’s old music is owned by masters. He and I discussed how genius it was that Taylor Swift rerecorded hers and how he has been wanting to make time to do the same but he hasn’t yet done it.”

She continues, “I honest to God just do not understand how it’s even legal for a group of people to be like ‘oh, this person cannot participate in society and we want this person destroyed and to lose everything and to be banned from entire countries, but also…we will continue to make money off his/her voice.’ I feel like in the future there needs to be a law that after the industry moves to conduct, in effect, a public slave hanging (like Daily Wire did me) they should be required to release that person’s likeness, social channels, voice and whatever else they may have once owned. Like you cannot attempt to kill a slave and then force them to still work for you because of lingering contracts.”

Are Candace Owens & Kanye West Friends?

Overall, this is has been a year-long struggle of hers. She even admits that she has a hard time bringing herself to stream Ye’s older material. “I sometimes don’t even like playing the old Kanye catalogue because I know they’re getting paid from it,” she says. “But who can deny his Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy era?”

For those who may be curious, he fondness of Kanye is not new. The controversial public figures have conducted interviews together, with Owens going as far as defending his harmful statements about the Jewish community.

Ye seemingly trusts and respects her so much that Owens claimed he gave her a list of people that want to harm him. If these people ever act, she says she will release this information as per his orders.

The post Celina Powell Jokes That DJ Akademiks “Likes Them Young” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Celina Powell called out DJ Akademiks while discussing rumors about Summyah and Trippie Redd with the live streamer. When Ak defended the idea of 30-year-old rappers dating 20-year-old girls, Powell labeled it “weird” and joked that he “likes them young.”

“Of course you’re saying that it’s not weird,” Powell remarked. “I forgot you like them young too.” From there, Akademiks argued that 20-year-old girls only realize how strange it is to date someone that much younger once they grow up themselves.

Rumors about Summyah and Trippie Redd dating began to surface when fans spotted the two vacationing in Turks and Caicos. Summyah’s ex, NoCap, added further fuel to the fire by calling out Trippie in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “@trippieredd don’t act funny cause you with dat h** n**** still better be on that album,” he wrote, as caught by The Shade Room.

Celina Powell’s Offset Allegations

In other news, Celina Powell has been getting tons of media attention in recent weeks for making wild allegations about Offset. Earlier this month, she shared a video of herself in bed with a man who fans believe was the Migos rapper. “Made a tape last night & all u heard was him in the video lol offset you sleepy boy,” she captioned the post.

Later, she accused Offset of threatening her and claimed that she lent him $15,000. “If ANYTHING happens to me OFFSET did it,” Powell wrote on her Instagram Story. “Tired of this grown man threatening me almost every day and got me living in fear cuz he owes me 15K+.”

Drama originally surfaced between Powell and Offset back in 2017, when he was still with Cardi B. At the time, Offset accused her of trying to extort him for $50,000 in exchange for an abortion.

In addition to Offset, Powell has been linked to numerous other hip-hop artists over the years. These have included Snoop Dogg, Akon, and NLE Choppa, among others.

R Kelly has done a lot of harm to his reputation for many years at this point. Some would say that it’s irreparable. However, there a few folks out there wishing the best for him and even hoping for a musical return. One of his recordings from behind bars is actually gaining some decent traction right now as a result, and it’s causing controversy.

Caught AllHipHop‘s Houston Williams, longtime musician Teddy Riley is one of the biggest voices campaigning on Kelly’s behalf. Riley shared a remix of Chris Brown’s “It Depends” that the disgraced crooner laid down.

At the very beginning, Kelly clarifies that it is in fact on the mic and then shouts out Breezy right after. As a means to also celebrate the locked-up vocalist’s birthday (Jan. 8) Riley captioned the post accordingly.

What’s The Latest On R Kelly?

Feb 22, 2019; Chicago, Il, USA; A handout booking photo provided by the Chicago Police Department of R&B singer R. Kelly who’s official name is Robert Kelly. Kelly turned himself in and was arrested after being charged with 10 alleged counts of class two felony criminal sexual abuse ranging from 1998 to 2010.

“Still the King of R&B Bar None!!!! Can’t wait for yall to hear the new music!!! Til then teaser missiles will be dropping!!! It’s about that time for real music!!! #legendary #letsgo !!!R.KELLY THE KING!!! [crown emoji HAPPY BDAY [crown emoji].”

Chris Brown caught wind of it, reacting favorably with fire and eye emojis. Many random Instagram users also gave it their stamp of approval with one user saying, “He ate this up! R. Still got it.” Another responds, “Keeping R. In our prayers! Super excited he’s with u, TR! Blessings.”

However, there’s a considerable number of others speaking out against this co-sign.

“Why would you support, promote, and work with someone who has committed so many atrocities to young women. As a father of two daughters, I couldn’t possibly reconcile within myself to ever support and endorse this kind of behavior and actions. We have to expect and demand more of ourselves and others. Would you still work with him if he violated your daughter,” one person questions Riley.

Another echoes, “The unwavering support for pedophilia, rape, grooming, & kidnapping is mind blowing & heartbreaking. It’s giving, as long as it doesn’t directly affect you or your family members it doesn’t matter.”

Whether or not this materializes into anything is going to be something to watch.

In other R Kelly news though, he’s still been trying to fight for his freedom. While things have been fairly quiet up until now, he’s tried to argue numerous times that people have tried to get in the way such as prosecutors, authority members, and more.

Wack 100 Accuses Glasses Malone Of Clout Chasing Off Adin Ross https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/970131-wack-100-adin-ross-glasses-malone-hip-hop-news Mon, 12 Jan 2026 15:37:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=970131 Wack 100 recently sat down with Adam22, where he had some unique insights on the Glasses Malone and Adin Ross situation.

The post Wack 100 Accuses Glasses Malone Of Clout Chasing Off Adin Ross appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
One of the biggest stories in hip-hop last week was the animosity between Adin Ross and Doechii. For the most part, it is a one-sided beef. Ross has taken Doechii’s lyrics to heart, and he can’t stop hurling insults. Meanwhile, artists in the hip-hop space have taken issue with the streamer.

Among those artists is Glasses Malone, who has let Ross know on numerous occasions that he will escalate things if Ross continues to be disrespectful. Ross doesn’t seem to care and continues to taunt Glasses and even Joe Budden.

Ross has a few defenders on this issue, including Wack 100, who has been adamant about Adin Ross being a good guy. In fact, Wack was on No Jumper this past weekend and offered up his take on the situation.

While Adam felt like Adin was taking things a bit too far, Wack says Ross was well within his rights to get a bit angry. It was a bit of a surprising take, especially when you consider what Wack thinks of Glasses Malone right now.

Wack 100 Had a Message for Glasses Malone

Essentially, Wack is accusing Glasses Malone of trying to chase clout off Ross’ name. It’s not the type of take you would expect from Wack, especially when you consider how Glasses is a respected West Coast artist. Wack has often been harsh with people he deems as “culture vultures.”

Regardless, Wack seems to be a staunch defender of Adin, who is under fire from hip-hop purists, and understandably so. The debates about Ross over the past week or so have been interesting, to say the absolute least.

Ross has been completely irrelevant towards hip-hop and its artists. His attitude on the matter has yet to change, and it probably never will. At the end of the day, he has the backing of someone like Drake, which does, in fact, go a long way.

Only time will tell whether or not Adin and Glasses are able to make peace.

Teyana Taylor became emotional while on stage at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, as she accepted the award for Best Female Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture. She earned the award for her role in One Battle After Another, in which she played a revolutionary named Perfidia Beverly Hills.

“Oh my God, I almost didn’t even write a speech because I didn’t think I would get this,” Taylor said, as caught by Entertainment Weekly. “Oh my babies! My babies are upstairs watching, y’all better be off those damn phones and watching me right now.”

From there, she turned her attention to director Paul Thomas Anderson. “To Paul ‘Let ‘Em Cook’ Thomas Anderson, thank you for your vision, your trust, and your brilliance. My gratitude is endless. I love you, we love you, and thank you so much for holding space for me and our entire cast,” she said, adding a shout-out to Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Chase Infiniti, Regina Hall, and her other castmates.

Taylor concluded: “And last, but most importantly, to my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight, our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter, and our dreams deserve space. Thank you so much, everybody. Thank you!”

Aaron Hall Remains Missing Even After A Private Investigator’s Efforts https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/970120-aaron-hall-still-missing-amid-diddy-lawsuit-music-news Mon, 12 Jan 2026 14:50:30 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=970120 Aaron Hall has left lawyers and a private investigator completely dumbfounded as their many attempts to track him down have gone nowhere.

The post Aaron Hall Remains Missing Even After A Private Investigator’s Efforts appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
R&B singer Aaron Hall continues to evade his legal situation, and it’s left everyone scratching their heads. If you aren’t familiar with him, the 61-year-old is tied to Diddy, specifically a federal civil case from plaintiff Liza Gardner. She accused both artists of sexual assault sometime during the 1990s in 2023.

But their many attempts to serve Hall have been unsuccessful as he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. As a result, Tyrone A. Blackburn, Gardner’s lawyer is asking a judge permission to have legal notices published in the Los Angeles Times and the South Fulton Neighbor and mailing papers from them to his last known addresses.

This last resort-like plan was reached after Blackburn hired private investigator Carlos Jackson per Grouchy Greg Watkins of AllHipHop. Jackson tried conducting database searches and inspected areas in Los Angeles County where Hall was known to walk his dogs.

Jackson then tried Fulton County, Georgia after getting leads that he may have ties in Atlanta. His work began in September 2025. But sadly, what Blackburn says were “extensive, diligent, and good-faith efforts” turned up nothing.

Aaron Hall & Diddy Lawsuit

It’s worth noting that prior to Jackson being hired, several locations across California and one in Ohio were searched using other means like skip tracers and process servers. But that didn’t do anything of value either as this intense search for Aaron Hall has been going on for well over a year now.

In March 2025, after multiple addresses were checked, Blackburn believed that personal mail wasn’t working. That’s why now he’s asking for this different approach. Back then, he said “I believe that service by publication is now the only remaining option to provide notice of this lawsuit to Mr. Hall. We have effectively exhausted all reasonable methods of locating him. I am unaware of any additional addresses, locations, or persons we could rely on to get the summons directly to Hall. Therefore, publication in newspapers is being sought as a last resort.”

As we said, Blackburn is doing what he can to bring his client, Liza Gardner, justice. She claims that Aaron Hall and Diddy forcibly raped her following an MCA Records event.

Her story claims that they both gave her and a friend drinks and then brought them to Hall’s apartment. There, Diddy allegedly convinced her to have sex, which is when Hall allegedly came in to pin her down. After that, the mogul allegedly made his way to Gardner place and allegedly choked her until she went unconscious.

Snoop Dogg was censored while on stage at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, where he was presenting the first-ever award for Best Podcast. In doing so, the legendary rapper joked about getting too high beforehand.

He walked out to his iconic 2004 song, “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” before addressing the crowd. “Need y’all to loosen up a little bit. This is the Double G’s — the Double G’s is the Golden Globes,” Snoop said, as caught by Billboard. “And you’re with the D-O-Double-G, so make sure you enjoy yourself. Don’t be no stiff biff. Need you to move around a little bit… And shout-out to all the podcasters. You all are winners, but the real winner is…” From there, he joked, “I’m high as a motherf*cker right now. Y’all had me here too damn long,” which the broadcast cut out.

As a clip of the moment began circulating on X (formerly Twitter), fans shared plenty of laughs. “That’s like censoring Bob Ross for painting happy little trees,” one user joked. Another added: “Man’s just speaking the truth, no filter needed.” Others were tired of his antics, such as someone who posted: “Does all Snoop Dogg do is just smoke weed and fill into the stereotypes? He thinks if he quits he’s gonna fall off. At this point he is literally just a cameo. Name 5 Snoop Dogg songs gun to your head.”

Thank you so much for this.” Other nominees included Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard, Call Her Daddy, The Mel Robbins Podcast, Smartless, and Up First.

As for the rest of the ceremony, Teyana Taylor took home Best Female Supporting Actor, Motion Picture for her role in One Battle After Another. Timothée Chalamet also won Best Male Actor, Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for Marty Supreme.

The post Jason Luv Attempts To Emasculate Adam22 Ahead Of Their Boxing Match appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
In case you were unaware, Jason Luv and Adam22 are set to take part in a boxing match in Miami on January 23rd. This is part of Adin Ross’ boxing promotion, and there is no doubt that there will be some fanfare around this matchup.

Of course, back in 2023, Jason Luv did an adult film scene with Adam’s wife, Lena The Plug. While everyone consented to this, there was some controversy in the aftermath of it all. Some called Adam a “cuck,” while Jason Luv bragged to the media about his encounter.

Now, there are still some hard feelings between Adam and Jason Luv. This has led to their boxing match becoming such a big story. Of course, Jason Luv is a much bigger guy, and there is this sense that Adam is going to lose.

Recently, Luv spoke to TMZ Sports about the upcoming fight, and it was here that he taunted Adam about why he’s really taking to the ring.

Jason Luv On His Adam22 Fight

“It’s a little animosity, because you got to remember, I smashed his wife, and all the fans and people are saying all kinds of crazy things,” Jason said. “So he feel like he got to regain his manhood, and I’m here to try to make sure that I still take it away.”

Jason Luv is pretty adamant that he is going to win this fight, and he will do so handily. Is he going to continue boxing after this fight? No, he is not. Instead, he would much rather go back to what the adult film industry, which is more lucrative.

How To Watch Jason Luv Vs. Adam22

The fight will take place on Friday, January 23rd, in Miami. Meanwhile, it will be streamed on Adin Ross’ Kick channel. Kick does not require a subscription, and neither does Adin’s stream. Instead, you can just go on over to the streaming services and watch to your heart’s content.

While some are going to scoff at such an event, you might be surprised by how many people want to see Adam and Jason Luv in the ring.

The post DJ Akademiks’ Latest Update Suggests Drake’s “ICEMAN” Is Dropping Sooner Than You Think appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
DJ Akademiks is someone who seems reasonably connected to Drake. Since the beginning of his career, Ak has been banging the Drizzy drum, and he hasn’t stopped. Even when the artist was going through a downturn in 2024, Akademiks stuck by him.

That appears to be paying dividends in 2026, as the hype for Drake’s ICEMAN album is starting to pick up. There is a sense that the album could be released in the first quarter of the year. After all, if you’re going to call your album ICEMAN, you should probably drop it while it’s still cold outside.

Either way, the hype is off the charts right now. A$AP Rocky is going to be dropping this week, and from there, the runway has been cleared for an artist like Drake to take the reins.

Recently, Akademiks was on stream, where he was relistening to For All The Dogs, heralding the project as a classic breakup album. When Akademiks posted the clip on his X account, he made sure to give a detail that fans will be hanging their hats on for some time.

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

“ICEMAN SO SOON! MY GOAT ALWAYS DELIVERS!” Akademiks wrote on his X account. Clearly, he knows something we don’t. Drake has not yet given a release date for his new album. However, Akademiks is comfortable enough saying that the album is dropping soon.

At the end of the day, nothing is confirmed until Drake himself comes through with an actual release date. Until then, everyone is just guessing and drumming up hype. However, where there is smoke, there is fire, and it does seem like a Drake album release is a real possibility in a week to a month from now.

2025 was an odd year for releases. There were some big albums that dropped, although it felt like the year belonged to the underground in many ways. With Drake, A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, and even J. Cole looking to drop this year, it feels like 2026 might be the year mainstream hip-hop has needed.

The post Ranking The Top 10 Air Jordan 6 Colorways Of All Time appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Air Jordan 6 stands as one of the most iconic silhouettes in sneaker history. Released in 1991, the model introduced design elements that changed basketball footwear forever. Michael Jordan wore these during his first NBA championship run creating legendary moments.

Certain colorways have transcended sneaker culture to become genuine collectibles and investment pieces. The combination of performance innovation and timeless style keeps the Jordan 6 relevant today.

Here are the ten greatest Air Jordan 6 colorways ever:

10. Air Jordan 6 “DMP”

The “DMP” lands at number ten in our rankings. This Defining Moments Pack release honored Michael Jordan’s championship legacy with premium gold detailing.

The black nubuck upper features metallic gold accents throughout the design. Gold hits appear on the midsole, lace locks, and Jumpman branding. This colorway released as part of a special two-pack alongside the Air Jordan 11.

The DMP represents a more luxurious take on the traditional Jordan 6 aesthetic. While it’s a solid release, the heavy gold detailing makes it less versatile. It’s perfect for collectors who appreciate commemorative releases with historical significance. It captures a specific moment in Jordan Brand history beautifully.

9. Air Jordan 6 “UNC”

The Air Jordan 6 “UNC” sits at number nine on this list. This release pays tribute to Michael Jordan’s college roots at North Carolina. Carolina blue dominates the design, complemented by white leather, creating classic Tar Heels colors.

The university blue hits the heel tab, midsole, and lace locks perfectly. This colorway dropped in 2017 and became an instant hit with fans. College-themed Jordans always generate excitement, but this one particularly resonates with sneakerheads.

The clean color blocking makes it incredibly wearable for everyday situations. It’s a great option for UNC fans and anyone who loves light blue sneakers. The nostalgia factor elevates this beyond just another Jordan 6 release.

8. Air Jordan 6 “Georgetown”

“Georgetown” gets the 8th spot in our rankings. This colorway honors another legendary college basketball program with iconic team colors. Navy and grey suede create a sophisticated and understated aesthetic throughout.

The hoyas-inspired design feels premium with its rich material choices. Georgetown branding appears subtly without overwhelming the overall design. This release dropped in 2021 and sold out quickly at most retailers.

The darker look makes it perfect for fall and winter wear. College PE-inspired releases have gained popularity in recent years. The Georgetown represents one of the best executed college tributes in the Jordan 6 lineup.

7. Air Jordan 6 “Aqua”

The “Aqua” colorway comes in at 7. Originally released in 1991, this was a women’s exclusive that became legendary. Bright aqua accents pop against the white and black base beautifully.

The vibrant teal color hits the midsole, tongue, and heel perfectly. This colorway has retro’d multiple times due to overwhelming demand from collectors. The “Aqua” represents one of the most recognizable non-OG Jordan 6 colorways ever.

Its bold color choice sets it apart from more traditional releases. The shoe works great for anyone who appreciates eye-catching designs. It’s become a must-have for serious Jordan 6 collectors worldwide.

6. Air Jordan 6 “Olympic”

The Air Jordan 6 “Olympic” colorway earns the sixth spot. This release celebrates Team USA’s dominance during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. White leather forms the base with midnight navy and varsity red accents.

The patriotic color scheme captures the spirit of the Dream Team perfectly. Michael Jordan wore these during one of basketball’s most iconic moments. The clean white upper makes this incredibly versatile for various outfits.

Red hits on the midsole and lace locks provide just enough pop. This colorway has retro’d several times with slight variations over the years. The “Olympic” remains essential for anyone building a serious Jordan collection.

5. Air Jordan 6 “Maroon”

Next up, the Air Jordan 6 “Maroon”. This OG colorway from 1991 featured rich burgundy tones throughout the design. Deep maroon hits the heel, midsole, and lace locks, creating sophisticated appeal.

The off-white leather upper provides perfect contrast against the darker accents. This colorway remained unavailable for decades until its 2015 retro release. The long gap between releases made sneakerheads incredibly hungry for these.

“Maroon” represents one of the more understated yet elegant Jordan 6 colorways. The fall-ready palette works perfectly for cooler weather styling situations. It’s a favorite among collectors who appreciate refined color choices over flashy designs.

4. Air Jordan 6 “Toro Bravo”
