It’s still unclear whether or not the beef between Young Thug and Gunna over the latter’s YSL RICO plea deal will come to an end. But some fans hope Atlanta’s getting closer to “healing” after the former’s Twitter message to 21 Savage this afternoon (Friday, December 19).

“F**k the streets @21savage,” he wrote. This follows 21 Savage asking Young Thug to forgive Gunna, which caused a lot of debate online. “@gunna @youngthug Yall n***as fix that s**t,” 21 wrote. “yall love each other n***a you knew gunna wasn’t no gangster when he told the first time and we swept it under the rug for you you know he wasn’t tryna leave you to hang n***a f**k the streets we ain’t get s**t but trauma from that s**t.”

As such, it seems like Thugger agrees. He had responded to the Slaughter Gang CEO by expressing his love for him and saying that he’s always been by his side. Still, no updates have emerged at press time suggested that Thug is either going to forgive Wunna or already reached out. Also, there are many others whom he called out that are feeling similarly dismissed, and that’s on top of the many spectators who are criticizing their efforts to move on.

21 Savage’s Squashed Future Beef

That’s because of Young Thug and 21 Savage’s perceived hypocrisy on behalf of fans concerning snitching allegations, hip-hop industry loyalties, and street-based authenticity. Folks who are going against their narrative claim that they are just switching up once more and avoiding accountability. But others who support their narrative defended their efforts to take a higher ground, leave street debacles aside, and strive for more unity.

However, in order to fully do that, Young Thug and Gunna would have to reconcile. So until absolutely everyone gets on the same page, folks will still push back. And even then, a full-on hatchet burial would still probably draw a lot of criticism.

Elsewhere, though, 21 Savage is squashing beefs of his own. He recently had a brief Twitter spat with Future that they both quickly apologized for, hopping on FaceTime to hash it out. We’ll see what these artists’ next steps are to “fix” Atlanta hip-hop, if you subscribe to that necessity.

Offset & Quavo Excite Fans After Hopping On FaceTime Call With 21 Savage https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/966167-offset-quavo-21-savage-facetime-call-hip-hop-news Fri, 19 Dec 2025 17:55:19 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=966167 Offset and Quavo have been rumored to be not on good terms since Takeoff's passing, so it's good to see them coming to together here.

21 Savage is continuing to play peace maker this week. After calling out several rappers on his Twitter to end their beef, he’s been orchestrating FaceTime calls to clear the air and heal Atlanta. His most recent one was with himself and Future after they actually got into a mini spat on Twitter.

Now, we have to come find out that he just put one together between Offset and Quavo. DJ Akademiks caught wind of the linkup thanks to 21’s Instagram Story screenshot of the call. Overall, it’s got a lot of fans, especially of Migos thrilled to see them conversing face to face.

“Streets need a quavo and offset album,” one fan writes in Ak’s comments section. Part of that response comes from 21’s caption over the image. “Album otw @quavohuncho @1princeink.” The latter is a fellow ATL rapper who’s also on the FaceTime.

Other fans are just happy to see them choosing love over violence. “I’m not mad at it… I pray that all of our black men learn how to make amends too many of them dying, we need yall.”

Do Offset & Quavo Have Beef?

Since Takeoff’s death in November 2022, there were some reports that things got tense between Quavo and Offset. It was even rumored that they were at odds over ‘Set dating Saweetie, a past fling of Quavo’s. But even with that, it’s never been outright confirmed that they didn’t mess with one another anymore.

In fact, earlier this year, Offset said that his ex-collaborator talk often. In August he told 7pm in Brooklyn, “Me and Quavo talk every other week. It be the Internet trying to do some old sh*t, but with us, it ain’t about that. Like, we holla at each other. That’s family at the end of the day, man. You’re gonna bump heads with your family sometime. End of the day, a n**** ain’t finna play with him, or a n**** ain’t finna play with me and he gon’ play about it.”

But though this is the case, 21 Savage wants to see them get back in the booth like so many of us do.

“@QuavoStuntin @offset yall n****s tell the world I put yall on group text and told yall squash it before it even got far… n**** if yall was still together yall would be unstoppable.”

Charlamagne Tha God Reportedly Signs Massive $200M Deal With iHeartMedia https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/966169-charlamagne-tha-god-200-million-deal-iheartmedia-hip-hop-news Fri, 19 Dec 2025 17:35:50 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=966169 News of Charlamagne Tha God's massive iHeartMedia deal comes as "The Breakfast Club" and other shows are hitting Netflix next year.

The post Charlamagne Tha God Reportedly Signs Massive $200M Deal With iHeartMedia appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Charlamagne Tha God is still growing as one of hip-hop’s top media dogs. According to Forbes, in August, he inked a five-year, $200 million extension with iHeartMedia that will keep him on The Breakfast Club for the foreseeable future and expand his Black Effect podcast network.

What’s more is that this follows news of Charlamagne Tha God and The Breakfast Club streaming on Netflix next year. Apparently, there are a lot of big things on the way.

“When I was looking at doing my new deal with iHeartMedia, I was like, ‘I don’t want to just be talent. I want to create this podcast network, I want to create the BET for podcasting…’ I want to create 100 versions of me,” Charlamagne reportedly expressed.

“People really do understand the business of podcasting now,” he added. “You could look at somebody’s audio downloads and know what they should be being paid. […] I tell a lot of the new podcasters, either get a very low minimum guarantee or get no minimum guarantee. I’ve seen people make more money just off advertising. […] I didn’t just get here, I took the stairs. I want (people) to think about the journey of how I got here. Me becoming the best version of myself, investing in my mental wealth in a real way. That’s what you’re seeing now.”

Charlamagne Tha God’s New Deal

Following the Black Effect podcast network’s massive success over 60-plus shows, Tha God wants to add even more. It’s been a big part of iHeartMedia’s podcast income, which almost doubled from 2021 to 2024. But that’s not the only goal, as he plans to produce much more programming, pursue other business ventures like the restaurant industry, and partner with other media companies.

Charlamagne Tha God’s podcast-driven discussions will surely add a lot of context to this new move, and there are always critics punching down. But amid many other hip-hop media shake-ups as of late, this new deal with iHeartMedia heartened folks looking for sustainable media presences.

We will see how all of this pans out for Charlamagne. If history tells us anything, it will be a successfully smooth ride.

Mother Of NBA YoungBoy’s Son Clears Up Paternity Rumors Over Newborn https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/966163-mother-nba-youngboy-son-paternity-rumors-newborn-hip-hop-news Fri, 19 Dec 2025 17:08:04 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=966163 Starr Deja'nee is the mother of NBA YoungBoy's third son Kamiri, and she seemingly addressed rumors that they welcomed another child.

The post Mother Of NBA YoungBoy’s Son Clears Up Paternity Rumors Over Newborn appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

NBA YoungBoy has a very big family, and some fans think that it just got even bigger. The mother of his third son Kamiri, Starr Deja’nee, recently took to social media to seemingly address rumors that he’s the father of her newborn daughter, Klever Unique.

According to The Shade Room, she revealed her pregnancy in late November of this year and announced Klever’s premature birth just a few days later. This is Deja’nee’s fourth child following her three sons. Following some photoshoot social media posts on Wednesday (December 17), fans immediately got to speculating about the MASA artist and whether or not he’s the father. Some folks pointed to his earlier romantic history (he reportedly fathered another child with his first child’s mother), the K in Klever’s name, and even an alleged physical resemblance to the little one as possible hints of her parentage. But it seems like these might be false alarms.

Starr Deja’nee took to Twitter to seemingly address the situation. “Why is this debate still going on?” she asked. “Klever is my child. Who cares about all that extra s**t yall trynna figure out.”

As such, it seems like Deja’nee is either denying the rumors that YB is the father or saying that this debate doesn’t matter, even if the rumors are true. So it’s not explicitly clear, but it seems like fans are getting a sign to cool off no matter what they believe.

How Many Kids Does NBA YoungBoy Have?

Elsewhere, NBA YoungBoy’s shutting down other romantic rumors. For example, a recent freestyle drew speculation that he romantically involved himself with content creator Nique. Even the Baton Rouge lyricist’s past partners like Yaya Mayweather and Jania Meshell chimed in. But he shut those rumors down, although he left the door open if she even wants to make the rumors true in the future.

For those unaware, NBA YoungBoy’s family is still growing. He’s expecting a child with his wife Jazlyn Mychelle, which will be his 13th child. As such, don’t expect these rumors or discussions to die down anytime soon. After all, each new update gives more context to what preceded them.

Permanent Tears – EP by Mozzy https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/966157-permanent-tears-mozzy Fri, 19 Dec 2025 16:57:42 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=966157 Mozzy is upping his production before years end with this new four-song EP "Permanent Tears" that features emotional songwriting.

The post Permanent Tears – EP by Mozzy appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Mozzy is back in album mode. That’s kind of wild to say because he’s been incredibly active this last year or so. In fact, he most recent body of work was August’s INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS 2. That followed up the original project which landed in April and featured a completely different batch of songs. But the Sacramento native isn’t ready to slow down yet. On his Instagram around midnight, he confirmed that he was cheffing up a new LP. In that same post though, he teased this four-song EP that’s in front of you, PERMANENT TEARS. As suggested by the title, it finds Mozzy rapping with a lot of emotion and intensity over some minimal but drop-dead gorgeous instrumentals. He gets introspective, reflective, and honest about his life, friends, and more. Check it out below.

Release Date: December 19, 2025

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Tracklist for Permanent Tears

  1. PERMANENT TEARS
  2. DEEPLY EMBEDDED
  3. GANG INJUNCTION
  4. PAST TENSE

The post YN Tape – Album by Lil Zay Osama appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Lil Zay Osama is still making some of the most immediate drill-adjacent music out of Chicago, a feat he capitalizes on further on his new album YN TAPE. It’s not the most varied or versatile effort in the world, but he makes his set duality of aggressive bangers and more melancholy reflections flow well across a 15-song tracklist. Of course, guests like OT7 Quanny, YTB Fatt, Star Bandz, and many more help flesh out the atmosphere, along with an extensive production list. It won’t sway any non-believers, but for those already enamored with Zay Osama’s passions, it’s quite the solid LP. If 2026 holds similar material, hopefully it shows us even more sides of his artistry.

Release Date: December 19, 2025

  1. OTF
  2. 6K
  3. YN’S (with YTB Fatt)

A$AP Rocky Shows Off The Alternative Vinyl Cover For “Don’t Be Dumb” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/966135-asap-rocky-dont-de-dumb-alternative-cover-hip-hop-news Fri, 19 Dec 2025 16:30:03 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=966135 A$AP Rocky finally unveiled the official cover art for "Don't Be Dumb" this week and we are now getting more details regarding physicals.

The post A$AP Rocky Shows Off The Alternative Vinyl Cover For “Don’t Be Dumb” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A$AP Rocky is actually going to drop DON’T BE DUMB! Who would’ve thought? Many people, including us, didn’t think it was going to come to fruition. But this week, after a couple of years of delays and being left in the dark, we have all the confirmation we need.

On Wednesday, December 17, the Harlem native unleashed the colorful but cooky artwork for the album on his Instagram. “SORRY 4 THE WAIT DON’T BE DUMB FINALLY HERE! THANKS TIM BURTON FOR HELPING ME MAKE THIS MOVIE! COMING SOON.”

If you aren’t familiar with Tim Burton, he’s a famous movie director who’s helped pioneer the dark fantasy/gothic subculture in film. Sometimes, his projects can be downright disturbing for some, but he certainly presents a unique charm.

His most popular flicks include the Beetlejuice sequel, Frankenweenie, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Honestly, his marriage with A$AP Rocky is perfect as he’s quite the experimenter himself. The result is just about what you would expect. Avant-garde. It’s going to be cool to see what other involvement Burton had with this album. There’s a belief that some impending music videos will have his special touch as well.

When Is A$AP Rocky Dropping Don’t Be Dumb?

But as for the cover we got, it appears that’s what is going to appear on streaming platforms. We say that because late last night, A$AP Rocky dropped off the vinyl cover art on his IG once again. “MR. MAYERS ALTERNATE VINYL COVER,” he captioned the post caught by Kurrco.

This could also mean that the original cover could be on vinyl, too and that this new one will be another one fans can cop. Either way, it’s arguably cooler and rocks that more gothic look we mentioned. The all-black aesthetic works well with the character the graces the front. In a way, it feels reminiscent of Jack Skellington.

The back of the vinyl can also be seen above.

Overall, this has us even more excited for DON’T BE DUMB. Rocky hasn’t confirmed when it’s coming exactly. But there is a strong belief that January 16 (a Friday) is the date we should be circling on our calendars. That theory stems from his appearance at Camp Flog Gnaw. Onstage, he wore a white sweatshirt with the sleeves covered in “01162026” text. If you decode it, it spells out January 16, 2026.

Benny The Butcher is a pretty consistent stankface-inducer, and his two new tracks on his EL CARNICERO EP definitely prove why. Smooth rhyme schemes, clever wordplay, descriptive reflection, and dusty beats are the names of the game here, as is usual for the Black Soprano Family boss. Also, Estee Nack pulled through for an evocative appearance on the track “SUPERNATURAL,” and we hope to hear more collaborations between them next year. 2025 was a busy 12 months for The Butcher. But the consistency of his pen and his adherence to his lane means that 2026 will probably not be an off year. Here’s hoping that we get more grimy cuts like this that actually push Benny’s sound and artistry forward.

Marlon Wayans Explains How His Family Put An End To His 50 Cent Beef https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/966126-marlon-wayans-explains-how-family-ended-50-cent-beef-hip-hop-news Fri, 19 Dec 2025 16:05:11 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=966126 Marlon Wayans took issue with 50 Cent's Diddy docuseries "Sean Combs: The Reckoning," arguing that he's spreading bad karma for himself.

The post Marlon Wayans Explains How His Family Put An End To His 50 Cent Beef appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

50 Cent has a long list of enemies in entertainment, although many of these beefs and feuds are more to troll and bicker than any serious grievances. For example, he and Marlon Wayans recently traded blows over Fif’s executive production of the Diddy docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning. But it seems like this confrontational saga won’t sprout back up anytime soon.

During a recent interview with KTLA, Wayans revealed what his family thought about his feud with the G-Unit mogul. Apparently, they convinced him to pack it up and take the high ground.

“They asked me about the documentary,” Marlon said of the Wayans’ group chat. “I didn’t see it. They asked me about it, and I just gave my opinion. I don’t think brothers need to be quarreling in public like that. And then what did I get into? A public quarrel with a brother. And I just think it was bad for the culture. So I kind of backed out.” He also joked about not saying 50’s name anymore.

Later on, Marlon Wayans shouted out his brothers for lightening the mood with their nonetheless impactful advice. “Dame was like, ‘Why you pick the biggest brother? He’s on gamma rays. Stick to beefing with Soulja Boy, Kevin Hart. People that we can beat… Leave guys that got shot nine times alone. He survived nine. I backed out, I think, because I always want to focus on positivity and fun, and I got a movie coming out, Scary Movie 6.”

In addition, Wayans characterized his issues with 50 Cent as just roasting in jest, calling for more moments of laughter and socialization in today’s society.

50 Cent’s Beef With Marlon Wayans

But funnily enough, 50 Cent already squashed the Marlon Wayans beef. He took to Instagram last week to share an A.I.-assisted Friday spoof of Wayans to call it quits. “I’m not beefing with Marlon no more, he not funny. and I’m starting to think he a m**k for real. No more about him.” In classic 50 fashion, it was still a big troll.

Will Fif or Marlon reignite their tensions once more? We will just have to wait and see…

The post Quiet Magazine Spotlights Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

The Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Varsity Red/Sport Royal” just landed a major co-sign after being featured in Quiet Magazine, and it fits the moment perfectly. When three of the most influential names in sneaker culture link up, expectations are high.

zsneakerheadz reports that the Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 High OG will be released in February 2026. Scheduled to drop in early 2026, the collaboration blends two of the most iconic Air Jordan 1 color stories into a single, carefully constructed statement.

Union’s knack for remixing classics pairs naturally with Fragment’s clean, restrained design language, while Jordan Brand provides the timeless foundation. The Quiet Magazine feature frames the sneaker as more than just another hyped release.

It positions the shoe as a cultural object, rooted in history but clearly aimed at the present. That balance has always been the strength of both Union and Fragment. Together, they understand how to push things forward without losing the DNA that made the Air Jordan 1 legendary.

The “Varsity Red” and “Sport Royal” combination taps into nostalgia while still feeling deliberate and fresh.

Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 Retail Price

The sneaker mixes black, white, varsity red, and sport royal in a way that feels instantly familiar. Premium leather panels give the upper a textured, worn-in look. Fragment’s lightning bolt branding appears subtly, keeping the design clean and controlled.

Union’s signature stitching and layered construction add depth without overcomplicating things. The midsole comes in a slightly aged tone that ties the whole look together. On foot, the shoe feels balanced and intentional.

It reads as classic first, collaborative second, which is exactly why it works. Also, the sneaker will have likely have a retail price of $205 when they are released.

With its Quiet Magazine feature and a February 2026 release on the calendar, this collaboration already feels like a moment. Overall we can expect demand to be high once official release details start to lock in.
