The post OXYTAPE – Mixtape by Matt Ox appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

According to the outlet, online ticket-tracker TicketData Keith reportedly alleged 160 tickets for this event had been sold over a 30-day period, with about 47,000 seats allegedly still available. The L&N Stadium’s maximum seating capacity is reportedly 60,800, but it’s unclear if ticket sales for this event made all of those seats available. Per Ticketmaster at press time, the cheapest available seats cost $110.

Neither event organizers, nor the artists, nor the venue itself have verified any of this information at press time. The concert will move forward as of writing this article and there is no indication of a cancelation, with the ticket-tracker theorizing there could be a venue change or big shifts to pricing and seating.

Fans in the comments section of the Instagram post below proposed various theories for these alleged sales. Some blasted media outlets for reporting on stories like these if they hadn’t promoted the event in the first place. Others pointed to a more general lack of marketing as a major detriment, saying they weren’t even aware this was going on. On the other hand, a few fans found that Ludacris, BigXthaPlug, T.I., and Rick Ross were far too ambitious in scheduling a stadium show. Finally, many folks said going to concerts is just too expensive these days, lamenting the lack of more moderate pricing.

Rick Ross’ Canceled Shows

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

Rick Ross recently had to cancel a few shows, although the exact reason for this is unclear. Still, it led folks like 50 Cent to troll him for it, even if it might not have anything to do with success or commercial performance.

Elsewhere, BigXthaPlug recently missed a festival slot due to legal trouble, which also had nothing to do with sales questions. Maybe we’ll get an answer here, but probably not.

But on Thursday, Jam’s wife took the stand. She testified that she was totally against Jam’s decision to take the stand while also testifying that she had to be relocated with her son. “With my kids, what he’s doing is ruining everything we have going on in our lives right now,” she said, per Taylor Parise.

Parise also reported that Brian Steel suggested Jam’s teenage son cut off communication with his father. “It was also insinuated by Brian Steel that Jam’s teenage son said he would not speak to his father if he chose to testify against Durk,” Parise tweeted. Trap Lore Ross reiterated this in a viral post that read, “Jams wife said his 15 year old son disowned him for snitching.”

Ultimately, Jam’s wife testified that she’s received a number of threats as a result of Jam deciding to work with the authorities.

OTF Jam’s Wife Testifies In Lil Durk Trial

Both sides have since rested their cases in the trial with Durk deciding not to take the stand in the trial. We will soon receive the closing statements from the prosecution and defense before the jury decides whether they find Lil Durk guilty for the death of Lul Pab. We will keep you posted on any further updates on Lil Durk’s trial and what happens next. Sound off in the comments with your thoughts.

The post Lil Durk Trial: OTF Jam’s Son Reportedly Disowns Him For Snitching appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

The “Hate It Or Love It” rapper posted an AI-generated image of the Set In Stone cover depicting Ross’ face as a fried chicken leg, and shared a video of DMX downplaying Rozay’s music and image. “It ain’t one person on this earth listening to this walkin drumsticks album…..” he captioned his Instagram post. “but I urge everyone to go give it a spin so you can know exactly what not to do when putting out an album right after dinner. You ain’t no cop J Reed. When yo legs match yo body, let’s rap !!!& If yall don’t want yo favorite rapper eating… all in the video, leaving crumbs all on the song… COME TO DEATHROW !!!!

Rick Ross & The Game Beef

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Game (@losangelesconfidential)

This is what the Maybach Music Group mogul had to say about The Documentary III and his own low album sales. “That was a project that was released last week. The Documentary III,” he said. “Two Kanye features, Drake… Set In Stone did more numbers than Documentary III with what they called a stimulus package. Listen, keep hustling. That’s what it’s all about. The Game, as an artist, continue to make music, my n***a. The West Coast needs you… Don’t let that s**t dictate how you move, how you create.”

Considering The Game’s ongoing rap beef Rick Ross, it’s kind of odd to hear Ross be empathetic in this situation, albeit back-handedly. But maybe that’s the case because he knows they are in similar spots commercially, and that both releases did not reach the heights they may have expected.

But that’s only in the commercial conversation, as both artists are very proud of what they did and their fanbase really appreciated them. We’ll see if Rozay responds…

These guests were particularly interesting because they represent a lot of different eras of Kanye’s career, whether it’s earlier hits with Twista, the falling out with Big Sean and G.O.O.D. Music, and more recent collaborators like Fewtch and Troutman. It was also wild to see him perform tracks he hadn’t touched in two decades, such as “Overnight Celebrity” with Twista.

Amid speculation about new Ye music, hearing newer tracks and seeing new guests on this tour is also fueling a lot of those rumors. Plus, with more dates on the way, there are even more chances for 2026 to get even busier for Kanye West.

Still, his past bigotries continue to catch up to him, and this has also impacted these live runs in other countries and within the United States. But throughout it all, and despite it all, Ye fans can’t wait for night two of his Chicago homecoming tonight (Friday, September 4).

The post Here’s Ye’s Setlist From Night One Of His Chicago Homecoming Shows appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

For starters, Ye reunited with Big Sean on stage, once again. The two ran through songs like “Clique” and “IDFWU” together. “Had to bring my homie from the D out,” Ye announced before he jumped on the stage. It’s notable considering that they had a highly publicized falling out stemming from Ye’s controversial Drink Champs episode. Big Sean left Ye’s G.O.O.D Music imprint in 2021.

Afterward, Ye brought 2 Chainz out on stage, who joined the two rappers to perform “Mercy.” Chainz then jumped into “Birthday Song.” Future joined Ye afterward for “Keep It Burnin'” and “F*ck Up Some Commas.”

Twista Joins Kanye West In Chicago

Of course, Ye’s return to his hometown needed to include an appearance from other hometown heroes, and it was only right that Twista came out. The two performed “Slow Jamz” and “Overnight Celebrity,” delivering the most meaningful reunion of the night for Chicagoans. Perhaps this will lead to new collaborations between the two in the near future.

Last night marked the first of two shows for Ye in Chicago, with the artist returning to the stage at Soldier Field tonight for his second concert in the city. The last time he performed in the city was in 2021 during the Donda listening party.

Next, Kanye West will be performing in Indonesia on October 24th at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Indonesia. We will keep you posted on any further updates on Kanye.

Per journalist Michael Blackshire, Durk, Deandre “OTF Dede” Wilson, and David “Browneyez” Lindsey will not take the stand to provide testimony about their alleged role in all of this. Prosecutors accused the Chicago rapper of organizing the whole thing, Dede of coordinating logistics, and Browneyez of being one of the gunmen.

The Voice’s defense team pointed to one of Lil Durk’s alleged coconspirators, Kavon “OTF Vonnie” Grant, as the true culprit of the hit on Quando. Vonnie had testified against Smurk along with others who originally faced charges in this case, and many other witnesses for the prosecution.

When Is Lil Durk’s Next Court Date?

Elsewhere, Durk’s defense team’s witnesses included Kevin Freeman from Durk’s Neighborhood Heroes non-profit organization, his sound engineer Justin Gibson, the wife of OTF Jam, Jam’s ex-girlfriend, and more. Lil Durk also recently broke his silence amid this trial with a simple message posted to his Instagram: “Allah Is The Greatest.”

If everything goes according to the current expected schedule, closing arguments in this case will begin on Tuesday, September 8. Without testimony from the codefendants, jurors will base their deliberation solely on testimonies and evidence presented against these defendants. It’s by no means an uncommon legal strategy to refuse testimony, but like everything else in the trial, it has a big impact.

Elsewhere, closing arguments will give both sides a chance to summarize their claims and highlight the evidence they find to be the most damning, important, or absolving. As for how long closing arguments and jury deliberation will last, we will have to wait and see. Soon, a long-running saga will start to resolve.

The post Lil Durk Won’t Take The Stand In His Murder-For-Hire Trial appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

He took to social media platforms like Twitter this week to share the old 2003 commercial, which saw both MCs rap about their Reebok deals. “See jay still owe me a favor for doing this s**t,” the G-Unit mogul wrote. It’s unclear exactly what the favor is; appearing in the commercial, shouting out the S. Carters, or maybe something else? Either way, 50 claimed he got the first sample of his G-Unit sneakers at this shoot, which allegedly caused a rift.

“They brought me the first G-Unit sample while we was recording this,” he continued. “I said I’m wearing my shoe in this, jay got so mad John [Meneilly, who did big business with Jay back then] said im gonna get fired. LOL True story.”

Via Fif’s Instagram post on the matter, he left a comment that added more fuel to this fire. “I think he still mad I called him a gay painter LOL.”

Do Jay-Z & 50 Cent Have Beef?

For those unaware, the dynamic between 50 Cent and Jay-Z in recent years has largely consisted of 50 commenting on Jay and trolling him now and again. However, there really hasn’t been a super explicit feud between them beyond NYC competition, subliminal shots, and mutual business respect. So while there isn’t “beef” per se, we don’t expect them to go out for drinks together anytime soon.

Elsewhere, Jay-Z’s 2026 moves have been massive as well, albeit disappointing when it comes to their most recent addition. Fans hoped a listening party would hold new music, but this wasn’t the case. With that in mind, we doubt 50 will get a response here.
