BabyTron is known for his hilarious wordplay and songs that don’t take themselves too seriously. He is looking to drop a new album soon, and to help kick off the rollout, he is paying his respects to John Cena. The wrestler just retired from the WWE, and with his last match still on the minds of fans, BabyTron is taking advantage. This new track is called “Tron Cena,” and it even samples Cena’s infamous entrance song. The bars here have plenty of wrestling puns, and you can imagine how BabyTron goes about comparing himself to Cena. It is a fun song and one that wrestling fans will appreciate.

Release Date: December 16, 2025

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Chances

Try taking my chain or watch, promise you, I’ma be taking a mugshot

I just been writing the list for my Hitman, I can’t wait to come shop

NBA YoungBoy remains one of the biggest artists in hip-hop. There aren’t a lot of young superstars these days, although YoungBoy certainly occupies that space, and he does it well. On Tuesday, he came through for his biggest supporters with a new song, “Top Cobain.” This melodic track is a celebratory one in a few ways. The music video features visuals from his most recent tour, which has proven to be one of hip-hop’s biggest. Meanwhile, the artist talks about the rockstar lifestyle he is living, likening himself to Kurt Cobain. YoungBoy is experiencing his prime right now, and it feels as though very few artists can go toe-to-toe with him when it comes to being prolific with hits.

Release Date: December 16, 2025

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Top Cobain

Had the guitar, I’ma kick it
Explicit, exquisite, just check how I’m livin’
On top of the mansion, I’m spendin’ these millions
And on top of a hater I put on them fifty (Brrt)

Air Jordan 12 “Bucks” Rumored Release Date Surfaces https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/965252-air-jordan-12-bucks-sneaker-news-3 Tue, 16 Dec 2025 03:02:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=965252 The Air Jordan 12 “Bucks” is gaining traction as new rumors point toward an upcoming release date for the long-awaited colorway.

]]>
The Air Jordan 12 “Bucks” is gaining momentum as new reports point to a rumored release date, putting one of Jordan Brand’s cleanest concepts back in the spotlight.

First teased as a player-exclusive style, the colorway quickly stood out for how naturally it fit the Air Jordan 12’s design language. Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 12 “Bucks” will be released in the Fall of 2026.

Now, it looks like the pair may finally be making the jump from PE lore to a full retail release. Inspired by Milwaukee’s signature colors, the Air Jordan 12 “Bucks” leans into a crisp white and deep green palette that feels both premium and wearable.

The Air Jordan 12 has always been a silhouette that thrives on strong color blocking, and this pair keeps things simple without feeling boring. It avoids loud accents and instead lets texture and contrast do the work.

Jordan Brand’s recent strategy has focused on bringing PE-inspired colorways to a wider audience, and the “Bucks” fits that approach perfectly. It feels special without being gimmicky, which is exactly why demand has stayed high since the first images surfaced.

For fans of the Air Jordan 12, this is the type of release that checks every box. If the rumored date holds, the Air Jordan 12 “Bucks” could become one of the more quietly successful drops of its release year. It is familiar, clean, and easy to wear, which often matters more than hype in the long run.

The Air Jordan 12 “Bucks” features a white leather upper with signature stitched paneling. A rich green mudguard wraps the lower portion of the shoe. The textured leather adds depth without feeling heavy.

Metallic lace hooks sit near the collar for a premium touch. Green continues through the midsole and outsole. A subtle purple accent appears near the heel.

The overall look feels clean, balanced, and very intentional on foot. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $205 when they release.

Future Named Louis Vuitton “Friend Of The House” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/965248-future-louis-vuitton-deal-streetwear-news Tue, 16 Dec 2025 02:27:58 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=965248 Future has been named a Friend of the House by Louis Vuitton, marking a major moment in the brand’s culture-driven vision.

The post Future Named Louis Vuitton “Friend Of The House” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Rapper Future has officially been welcomed into the inner circle of Louis Vuitton, earning the title of Friend of the House. The move formalizes a relationship that has been building for years and now feels fully locked in under Pharrell Williams’ creative direction.

For Louis Vuitton, the decision reflects a continued commitment to culture rather than tradition alone. For Future, it confirms his place as more than a chart-topping artist. Future’s influence has always extended beyond music.

His style is intentional, unpredictable, and confident, often setting trends instead of following them. That mindset mirrors the direction Louis Vuitton has taken in recent years, especially since Pharrell stepped in.

The brand has leaned further into modern voices that shape culture in real time, and Future fits that vision naturally. This partnership also highlights how deeply hip hop and luxury are now intertwined.

What once felt like an outsider relationship has become foundational to how major fashion houses define relevance. Future’s presence brings authenticity, not just visibility. He represents an audience that values individuality, risk, and forward motion.

Being named a “Friend of the House” suggests more than a one-off appearance. It points to ongoing collaboration, shared creative energy, and long-term collaboration.

As Louis Vuitton continues shaping its future through culture-first storytelling, Future stands as a clear example of how modern luxury is being defined by artists who move with purpose and confidence.

Future x Louis Vuitton

Future’s relationship with Louis Vuitton has grown steadily through public appearances, runway moments, and front-row visibility. His style feels effortless but intentional, balancing luxury pieces with a street-level edge.

Under Pharrell’s direction, the brand has opened its doors wider to artists who shape culture daily. Future fits that mold perfectly.

This title signals trust and creative alignment, not just endorsement. It also hints at future collaborations that feel organic rather than forced. The partnership shows how modern luxury now thrives by embracing voices that lead culture forward.

Drake Tells Ebro To “Die Slower” In Leaked DMs https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/965244-drake-die-slower-ebro-hot-97-hip-hop-news Tue, 16 Dec 2025 01:00:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=965244 Drake decided not to take the high road recently as "Ebro In The Morning" was taken off the air over at Hot 97.

The post Drake Tells Ebro To “Die Slower” In Leaked DMs appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Late last week, it was revealed that “Ebro In The Morning” was being cancelled at Hot 97, effective immediately. As soon as this new came down the pipeline, Drake fans started rejoicing on social media. After all, Ebro Darden, Laura Stylez, and Peter Rosenberg were all very harsh towards Drake during the Kendrick Lamar beef.

Over the weekend, the tensions with Drake escalated, as he commented an axe emoji on an Instagram post about the cancellation. This subsequently led to some public comments from Rosenberg and Ebro, who called the rapper right-wing. As it turns out, that wasn’t the end of it.

Today, The Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg Show debuted on YouTube, and it was here that Ebro leaked his DMs with Drake. The last few messages they had exchanged were all the way back in 2020. However, recent DMs from Drake at 3:30 in the morning take a much more sinister turn.

“Die slower pussy,” Drake wrote. “We got some shit for you.”

Ebro Leaks Drake’s DMs

Ebro replied to the message a few hours later, essentially telling Drake to calm down, and that he is only upset because he lost the battle with Kendrick Lamar. Drake’s message was extremely petty, and it is clear that he is happy to see Ebro off the air.

Whether or not these messages are performative for Drake’s own audience is something that remains to be seen. Having said that, we have seen Drizzy do something similar with the likes of Anthony Fantano.

The Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg Show Debuts

Ebro, Stylez, and Rosenberg’s new show is going to air on YouTube every single day and will be an independent version of what they were doing on Hot 97. Needless to say, the trio still very much loves one another, regardless of their ties to a specific network.

Whether or not Drake responds to these leaked DMs, is something that we will be sure to keep track of. Although if one thing is for certain here, it is that Drake is not very pleased with how the media has covered his Kendrick Lamar beef.

The Weeknd Secures Forward-Thinking Catalog Partnership In The Billions https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/965232-the-weeknd-billion-dollar-catalog-deal-music-news Mon, 15 Dec 2025 23:20:44 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=965232 The Weeknd continues to make big money moves and this latest one is also pretty innovative and could be the future.

The post The Weeknd Secures Forward-Thinking Catalog Partnership In The Billions appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, may have just inked a trend-setting catalog deal. According to Variety, the Canadian superstar is partnering with Lyric Capital Group, who are investing in his catalog from the beginning through 2025. That means it doesn’t apply to anything in 2026 and beyond.

Talks of this happening were first reported in August of this year.

But as we teased, this isn’t a normal catalog sale. Instead, The Weeknd and his team are still maintaining complete creative control. In a Lyric rep’s statement to the publication they say, “From the beginning of the meeting, it was clear to all at Lyric that Abel would not sell his catalog. He wanted to be more innovative and creative in the way we established a partnership.”

They continue, “To that end, through this venture, we constructed and launched a new business model with Abel and his iconic catalog whereby Abel and his team have the freedom to execute their creative vision with the entirety of his rights, both publishing and masters. This unique catalog deal sets a new standard for artist equity and control.”

It’s worth noting that this will also not affect The Weeknd’s current label ties. He’s still with XO/Republic/Universal Music Group. Universal Music Publishing Group will administer his publishing catalog.

If this wasn’t enough of a homerun for the Hurry Up Tomorrow singer, this deal is worth a pretty penny. Previous reports from the likes of Bloomberg and Billboard shared that the 35-year-old’s assets were valued at least $1 billion.

As of yet though, the value of this contract is not yet available. However, if it is, then it will be the second-most expensive catalog acquisition was Sony nabbing Queen’s for $1.27 billion last year.

Wildly enough though, this isn’t the only $1 billion accomplishment for The Weeknd. His massive After Hours Til Dawn world tour grossed that much. He became the first male solo artist to achieve that mark.

The post DL Hughley Jokes Nicki Minaj Should Be Worried About Chris Hanson, Not Gavin Newsom appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

DL Hughley went off on Nicki Minaj in multiple posts on social media, over the weekend, after she made headlines for criticizing California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s support of transgender youth. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), she wrote on Friday: “Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids.”

Responding to that post, Hughley wrote: “Nicki Minaj shouldnt post anything about kids cuz her husband can’t be within 1000 ft of one! It ain’t Gavin Newson it’s Chris Hanson she should be worried about.”

He elaborated on his stance in a video message afterward, further targeting Kenneth Petty. “I can’t tell people what to post or what to say, but Nicki Minaj damn sure needs to stay away from posting anything about kids, trans or otherwise,” he said, as caught by Live Bitez. “She supports a dude that is on the Epstein list a thousand times. She’s actually married to a registered sex offender, a pedophile. She shouldn’t be able to watch Jason Kid or listen to Kid ‘n Play, or New Kids On The Block. Hell, she’s gotta walk around the aisle with Cabbage Patch Kids in it. And she damn sure should stay away from Sour Patch Kids. It ain’t Gavin Newsom Nicki needs to worry about. It’s Chris Hansen.”

Nicki Minaj Politics

Nicki Minaj has been getting tons of attention for her comments on politics in recent months. She’s voiced her support for President Donald Trump on several occasions.

She’s also praised Vice President J.D. Vance. “Nothing brings me joy like the Vance memes & knowing he leaned into it like a boss,” she wrote in another post. “Top Tier Comedy. Character = 100. But make no mistake, Vance is an assassin. Don’t debate him. On anything. Quick as a computer. Maybe quicker. He’s the best blend I’ve ever seen of us&them.”

Diddy Accused Of Blacklisting Artists In Secret Footage https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/965216-diddy-accused-of-blacklisting-hip-hop-news Mon, 15 Dec 2025 22:50:37 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=965216 Diddy's image has already been tarnished to a great degree, but this latest accusation makes things even worse.

The post Diddy Accused Of Blacklisting Artists In Secret Footage appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Diddy was one of the biggest names in music for a long time. However, if there is anything that the countless lawsuits and allegations have suggested, it’s that he was quite abusive with his powers. Somehow though, there’s another way in which the mogul was able to loom large.

According to The Post Millennial, some undercover video footage hears a record executive accuse Diddy of blacklisting musicians. Or he at least had the power to do so says Motti Shulman, former senior VP of Rhythm Promotion at Atlantic Records. The conversation was recorded in secret by O’Keefe Media Group.

Shulman says Diddy would take videos of artists at his parties, potentially the freak-offs, and use that against them if they tried to get better record deals. “[Sean Combs] had more to do than just whether you got a record deal or not, like, he could blacklist you. Especially after you went to one of his parties and it seemed fun, and there were girls and drugs, but now he’s got you on video doing weird sh*t.”

But he didn’t stop there. Shulman goes on to say that he did work with the Bad Boy CEO at one point. But from the beginning, he didn’t like him one bit.

How Was Footage Obtained For Diddy Netflix Series?

“Diddy at his core, is a bad guy. I did work with him. He’s a f*cking a*shole and I knew that from the get go.”

As of yet, the incarcerated rapper hasn’t responded to the footage. Moreover, there’s no verification that this tactic was put to use. But it doesn’t mean that people won’t continue to view him in a negative light.

Interestingly, though, this new undercover clip surfaces amid questions of how 50 Cent’s Netflix docuseries was put together. In Sean Combs: The Reckoning, there’s a moment where Diddy speaks to his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, right before his September 2024 arrest.

Michael Oberlies, Diddy’s personal videographer cleared the air as to how that piece of content came to be. “For over two years, we have been working on a project profiling Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The footage in question was not released by me or anyone authorized to handle Sean Combs’ materials; it was by a third party who covered for me for three days while I was out of state. This incident had nothing to do with any fee dispute or contract issue. The actions of the parties involved reflect the lack of integrity every storyteller should uphold. Taking footage intended for our project to advance a narrative that was not our own is both unethical and unacceptable.”

O.T. Genasis has been accused of allegedly spitting in a woman’s face for rejecting his advances after he tried flirting with her at a nightclub in Miami over the weekend. Beauty specialist Isabella Grais detailed the incident in a lengthy post on Instagram on Sunday. She began by explaining that she was out to celebrate her best friend’s 25th birthday.

“A man named Otgenasis approached me while I was out celebrating my best friend’s 25th birthday,” Grais wrote. “He began flirting with me while I was on the phone. I tried to remain polite and avoid conflict, but the interaction quickly became uncomfortable and inappropriate. He began telling me unsolicited and disturbing details about his past, including selling crack.”

“When I firmly told him to leave me alone and get away from me, he spit in my face,” she further recalled. “This was not a misunderstanding it was intentional, humiliating, and violating. I was left in tears and felt completely unsafe. Witnesses around me identified him afterward and provided me with his name.”

“No one should ever be treated this way,” Grais continued. “I did not go out to be harassed or assaulted. I went out to celebrate my friend. This experience ruined the night and left me feeling shaken long after. What happened to me should never happen to anyone else.” O.T. Genasis has yet to respond to the allegation.

O.T. Genasis is best known for his 2014 single “CoCo,” but hasn’t released much music as of late. He made headlines, earlier this year, for issuing a public apology to Keyshia Cole during a stop on The Love Hard Tour. The two had been beefing after Genasis covered her 2005 song, “Love,” without permission.

“We was kinda going at it at one point, and listen, it was me,” Genasis admitted at the time, before adding, “I just want to sit here today, I want to tell you I apologize to you… I did call you a Ninja Turtle, I want to tell you I’m sorry. And when I met this woman, she is the sweetest, one of the greatest personalities, the greatest sense of humor, she’s really sent from God. She got a very, very, very good soul.”
