Lil Durk Looks Totally Different With No Dreads In New Photos https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1007029-lil-durk-no-dreadlocks-picture Mon, 24 Aug 2026 14:08:37 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1007029 Opening statements in Lil Durk's trial start this week.

The post Lil Durk Looks Totally Different With No Dreads In New Photos appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Lil Durk’s trial has officially started, and from what we’ve heard from select media in attendance, it’s been a bit chaotic over there. Between the judge scolding Durk fans for handing out Free Lil Durk paraphernalia at the courthouse and Trap Lore Ross getting admonished by fans for his investigative work, it’s clear that tension is high. 

For what it’s worth, it seems like Lil Durk is in good spirits, given the circumstances. Akademiks recently shared a photo of Lil Durk, marking one of the first times we’ve seen Durk since his incarceration. In the flick, he almost looks like a different person with his signature hair gone while holding his index finger up and smiling at the camera.

Hopefully, the appearance of positivity can carry through his upcoming trial surrounding murder-for-hire allegations. The government charged Durk with conspiracy, murder-for-hire, and weapons charges related to the murder of Lul Pab, which prosecutors claim was intended to target Quando Rondo. Durk has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Lil Durk Trial Continues This Week With Opening Statements

The trial will begin this week as planned. Despite some complications with potential jurors, a jury panel has been selected, so opening statements will begin as planned. During the selection process, potential jurors had to answer questions regarding their thoughts on rap music, which is crucial since Durk’s own music has been entered into evidence. In addition, jurors will also have to review interviews involving Wack 100, Akademiks, and 6ix9ine. Part of this is to prove that public pressure partially contributed to the retaliation attack on Quando Rondo following the murder of King Von

We will keep you posted on any further updates on the Lil Durk trial. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Jaden Newman & Julian Newman’s Physical Altercation Goes Viral https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1007019-jaden-newman-julian-newman-altercation Mon, 24 Aug 2026 13:38:59 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1007019 Jaden Newman and Julian Newman continue to go viral for all of the wrong reasons, and they have no plans of slowing down.

The post Jaden Newman & Julian Newman’s Physical Altercation Goes Viral appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Jaden Newman has been going viral over the past three weeks in the aftermath of her sextape leak. Previously, Newman was mostly known as the sister of Julian Newman, a basketball prodigy who fizzled out in high school.

However, thanks to this leak, the entire family is back in the news, and it has exposed just how hungry for fame they all are. Julian wasted no time commenting on his sister’s leaks, while their father has been doing interviews with N3on and No Jumper. The father has been making jokes about the situation, and doesn’t seem too worried about the social consequences.

Meanwhile, Julian Newman participated in Adin Ross’ latest BrandRisk boxing match. In fact, Newman defeated Thiirty, which was a major triumph given the trash talk that took place ahead of time.

As it turns out, Julian Newman got into another fight after his boxing match, except this time around it was with his own sister. In the video clip below, the two got into an argument, which led to Julian storming towards an elevator. Jaden chased after him and swung while his back was turned. Since reporting on this yesterday, the video has only continued to go viral.

The Jaden Newman & Julian Newman Saga Continues

Eventually, security held Jaden back and kept her from entering the elevator alongside Julian. From there, she could be seen in tears before walking away from the situation, surrounded by friends.

It is unclear what the two were arguing about, or why the situation got physical. For now, only the footage of this particular portion of the incident has circulated online.

The Jaden and Julian Newman saga won’t seem to end, and with antics like these, it’s unlikely to stop anytime soon.

Delonte West Proves He’s Still An Elite Hooper During Livestream https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1007006-delonte-west-hoop-neon-stream Mon, 24 Aug 2026 13:08:50 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1007006 Delonte West was on a livestream with N3on recently, and it was here that he showed off some of his basketball skills.

The post Delonte West Proves He’s Still An Elite Hooper During Livestream appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Delonte West has been through a lot during his life. The former NBA star’s fall from grace is something that basketball fans have been tracking for many years. During that time, they have wished him well and hoped for the day he recovers and gets back to living life to the fullest.

In 2019, West went viral multiple times as fans found him on the streets. He appeared intoxicated in these videos, and it was visibly taking a toll on his mental health. Eventually, he received help from Mark Cuban, who got him into a rehab facility. Unfortunately, West relapsed, and there were more reports of him living on the streets.

Now, West is back in recovery and appears to be doing much better. In fact, he was a guest on N3on’s livestream over the weekend. During the stream, they went to the gym to play some ball, and as you will see, West’s still got it.

The man was hitting stepbacks and showing off his crossover work. N3on was thoroughly impressed with what he was watching, as was the audience.

Delonte West Is Looking Good

West began his NBA career in 2004 with the Boston Celtics. During the 2007-08 season, he got to join LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. He would play with the Cavs until 2010 before eventually going to the Dallas Mavericks.

His career ended in 2012 as substance abuse issues and deteriorating mental health kept him from the court. There was also one particular unfortunate rumor that was mostly circulated by fans and trolls alike. If you’re up on your NBA lore, you probably know what we’re talking about.

Now, West seems to be doing much better, and that is truly great to see. His journey has been a difficult one, and there are still battles ahead. Regardless, he’s in a much better spot now than he was just five years ago.

Blueface Held At Gunpoint In Suspected Swatting Incident Outside Of SCV King Of Crabs Location https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006996-blueface-swatted-king-of-crabs-scv Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:40:13 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006996 Blueface was with Nevaeh and their newborn baby at his King Of Crabs restaurant in Santa Clarita Valley, when a swatting call came in.

The post Blueface Held At Gunpoint In Suspected Swatting Incident Outside Of SCV King Of Crabs Location appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Blueface was streaming with Nevaeh and their newborn son this weekend when the cops were called to their location. At the time, they were hanging out at Blueface’s King of Crabs restaurant in the Santa Clarita Valley.

In the video footage below, you can see police officers swarm the restaurant before demanding that Blueface and Nevaeh come outside with their hands in the air. The officers had guns drawn, and they were unrelenting with their demands.

Eventually, Blueface was placed on his knees with the officers surrounding him. Nevaeh and their newborn son were put in the back of a police vehicle. According to scv_scanner on Instagram, someone called the police alleging that there was a gunshot victim inside the restaurant. The caller said someone matching Blueface’s description was in the establishment, armed and dangerous.

The police eventually realized that none of this was true, and allowed Blueface, Nevaeh, and their child to walk free. Simply put, this was yet another swatting incident.

Blueface & Nevaeh Swatted

This is nothing new for Blueface. Just a few weeks ago, he was swatted while at his home. Child Protective Services were called at the exact same time, leading to a confusing situation for everyone involved.

Now that Blueface has gone full-time with streaming, trolls are starting to feel emboldened to engage in this kind of nonsense. Swatting is a dangerous practice. Innocent people have died as a result of these calls. For Nevaeh and her newborn, it was an especially harrowing moment.

It remains to be seen whether or not Blueface will take future steps to avoid being swatted. This typically involves collaborating with the police department and putting your address on a watch list of sorts, where police become aware that you are a frequent target of prank calls. Perhaps he will need to arrange something similar with his restaurants.

This remains a developing story.

The Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” Will Be A Europe-Exclusive Release https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006989-air-jordan-4-light-army-sneaker-news Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:55:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006989 The Air Jordan 4 "Light Army" releases exclusively in Europe this Holiday 2026, leaving US buyers to look overseas for a pair.

The post The Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” Will Be A Europe-Exclusive Release appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” is set to release exclusively across Europe for $220. It’s expected sometime during the Holiday 2026 window, with no exact date confirmed yet.

Olive green leather covers most of the upper, keeping things muted and understated. Light silver and cargo khaki show up across the mesh panels and eyelet areas, adding a little bit of contrast without pulling away the focus. Lighter accents round things out around some of the midsole pieces and the branded tongue.

The shoe keeps the classic Air Jordan 4 shape fully intact. Visible support wings and the model’s familiar panel work carry over from past retros, giving the colorway a clean, wearable finish.

There’s no deeper backstory attached to this one either, unlike some past releases tied directly to Michael Jordan’s career. It’s a pretty simple colorway, but obviously the exclusivity is what will make this pair worth talking about.

Further the style code JA5911-320 confirms the release, with images first surfacing through retailer JD Sports. Pairs will be limited to Nike.com/Jordan and select retailers throughout the European continent once the launch window arrives.

Europe exclusives aren’t new for Jordan Brand, but they’ve become more common in recent years. Pairs like the “Tokyo 23” or “Sumo” colorways have kept certain releases limited to specific markets before.

Europe has increasingly become a priority region for that same treatment. “Light Army” adds to a growing list of colorways that skip a US release entirely, leaving American buyers to look overseas or the resale market instead.

This drop also arrives during one of the busiest years yet for the Air Jordan 4. First-ever retros like “Toro Bravo” and “Tour Yellow” have already headlined 2026’s lineup for the silhouette.

With the year winding down, “Light Army” adds one more entry to an already crowded calendar, even if only a select group of buyers will get the chance to grab it at retail.

The post Bad Bunny’s Newest Adidas Badbo 1.0 “Night Navy” Dropping Soon appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Bad Bunny’s Adidas Badbo 1.0 is picking up a new colorway, “Night Navy,” set to drop on September 26th for $160. It marks the latest addition to his ongoing run with the shoe this year.

Layered blues take over the entire build, mixing deep navy suede with lighter, dusty toned panels underneath. Mint and pale blue underlays peek through the cutout sections, softening the overall look. Orange eyelets add a quick flash of contrast against all that blue.

A cream, aged looking midsole gives the shoe some vintage flavor underfoot. Bad Bunny’s star logo shows up on the heel, a detail that’s carried through most of his Adidas output this year. An extra pair of laces comes bundled in the box too.

The style code is listed as LB5996 and it’s expected through Adidas CONFIRMED, adidas.com, and a handful of select retailers once it drops.

This colorway comes after a quiet period of time for the Badbo 1.0. It first launched during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show back in February, followed by two more colorways shortly after. “Night Navy” picks the rollout back up after months without a new release.

Before the Badbo 1.0, Bad Bunny’s Adidas releases mostly reworked existing models. His run started back in 2021 with a Forum Low, followed by projects built around the Response CL and Campus over the years since.

The Badbo 1.0 changed that approach entirely. Built from the ground up for Bad Bunny, it blends basketball, training, and Adidas cues into something that doesn’t copy any one silhouette directly.

Reports suggest a follow-up version, the Badbo 1.1, could already be in the works for later this fall. That’s a fast turnaround for a shoe that’s only released in 3 colorways so far this year.

With golf and boxing projects also reportedly in the pipeline, Bad Bunny’s footwear lineup with Adidas keeps expanding well past where it started.

pink panels, exclusive to women's sizing.

The post Women’s Air Jordan 6 Low “Desert Berry” Set for September Release appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Air Jordan 6 Low “Desert Berry” is set to release September 16th for $205 in women’s exclusive sizing. It joins Jordan Brand’s already packed lineup for the month.

Black leather is on most of the upper, giving the shoe a soft, matte base to work from. Pink vibrant panels break through on the sides, shifting slightly depending on the light. That same pink tone continues onto the Jumpman branded lace toggle near the top.

Metallic silver rounds things out on the heel tab and parts of the midsole. It’s a small detail, but it adds some contrast against the darker upper. The interior design also stays consistent with past low-top releases, keeping the shoe’s classic profile intact.

The style code is listed as IX5195-001 for anyone tracking the release closely. It’s set to land alongside several other September drops, giving buyers a lot to keep track of this month.

Overall this is yet another entry in Jordan Brand’s ongoing run of women’s exclusive Air Jordan 6 Lows. Also, the sneakers are set to drop through Nike, Foot Locker, and a wide range of other retailers on release day.

Air Jordan 6 Low “Desert Berry”

The Air Jordan 6 Low first released back in 2002, giving the silhouette a shorter, more streamlined profile. It’s never matched the popularity of the standard mid-top version.

Jordan Brand has still brought it back periodically over the years, often through women’s exclusive colorways like this one. That approach has kept the low-top somewhat under the radar compared to other retros.

“Desert Berry” continues that pattern, leaning into a softer, more feminine palette rather than a bold statement colorway. It’s also part of a broader wave of pastel and iridescent options Jordan Brand has pushed toward women’s sizing this year.

Finally, With September close and already stacked with major Air Jordan releases, “Desert Berry” offers a quieter alternative for anyone looking for something a little different.

The post FC Barcelona x Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro Arrives This Fall appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The FC Barcelona x Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro is set to release on September 4th for $135. It’s the second silhouette in this year’s Kobe and Barca collaboration.

Black patent leather covers most of the upper, giving the shoe a sleek, glossy finish. Purple hits the Swoosh, the outsole, and detailing around the heel, matching the club’s away colors. Matte black leather panels break up the shine, keeping the design from feeling too flashy.

Gold branding rounds things out on the heel. Kobe’s signature sits stitched in gold thread, while the FC Barcelona crest appears in gold on the tongue. That same tone connects the shoe back to its companion release in the collection.

The Dunk silhouette itself gives this release a different feel than past Kobe and Barca pairs. It’s a lower profile, more casual build compared to something like the Kobe 4 Protro, making it an easier everyday option for fans who want the colorway without a basketball focused shoe.

FC Barcelona and Nike are pairing this release with a Kobe 3 Low Protro in the same purple and gold theme, giving the 2026 collection two very different builds tied to one shared look.

Nike and FC Barcelona first connected the Kobe line back in 2025. That collection included the Kobe 4 Protro, an Air Force 1 Protro, a post-match slide, and matching apparel across the board.

The partnership comes from Kobe’s true connection to the club, not just a licensing deal. He was a longtime supporter, often speaking about how much he respected Barca’s style of play.

For 2026, that relationship expands into the Dunk Low Protro, a silhouette that hasn’t carried Kobe branding before. Pairing it with the purple and gold theme keeps it consistent with everything else in the collection.

With multiple releases now planned across this partnership, Nike keeps finding new ways to fold Kobe’s legacy into Barça’s identity. It’s shaping up as one of the more layered team collaborations still running in sneakers today.
