Future and Metro Boomin are a dynamic duo who have come through with some pretty incredible albums and songs over the years. Now, it appears as though they will appear in a video game together.

By now, almost everyone on the planet knows that GTA VI is the most anticipated video game of all time. It has been 13 years since the release of GTA V, and gamers have been getting anxious. Thankfully, Rockstar Games is finally ready to go, as the game is set to be released on November 19.

Overall, this is great news, and it appears as though Rockstar Games is ready to slowly drop new information. Just weeks after their Netflix extended showcase, artists have begun teasing their involvement in the game. Earlier today, Travis Scott revealed he would be in GTA VI.

Just moments ago, Future and Metro Boomin followed suit. While Scott stated he was part of the Jack of Hearts strip club, neither Future nor Metro has revealed their exact role.

Future & Metro Boomin Are In GTA VI

It is expected that these two will, at the very least, have songs in the game. This is in line with Sexyy Red, Kodak Black, and Lil Wayne also having songs in the game. There are likely to be two main hip-hop stations. For contemporary listeners, you will have a more modern option, while those who prefer the 90s and early 2000s will have Dirty South Classics.

Rockstar Games always knocks it out of the park with their soundtracks. Starting with Vice City, then going into San Andreas, Rockstar started to flex its curation muscles. Now, they are about to do the same thing with GTA VI, and we cannot wait to hear what they’ve cooked up.

Meek Mill, like most people, is appalled by the videos circulating of Bloodhound Q50’s death in Chicago. The video itself became inescapable once it emerged over the weekend and, on a platform like X, started gaining traction immediately. “I seen q50 murder 50 times today I feel haunted ….” Meek Mill wrote on X.

The video in question shows the rapper entering his Tesla before it was riddled with bullets at a gas station in the early hours of September 13th. Surveillance footage shows several men approaching his car and shooting at it. Authorities said that Bloodhound Q50 “sustained a gunshot wound to the chest and shoulder” and was pronounced dead shortly afterward. Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed that the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds.

Per the Chicago Sun-Times, one witness claimed that he heard over 100 gunshots. “I think the markings stopped at 80 or something, but I feel like I heard way more than that,” the witness said.

Bloodhound Q50 Dies In Shooting

A woman who was allegedly in the car with Bloodhound Q50 when his vehicle was shot up fired back at online claims that accused her of setting him up.

“I am the girl that was in the passenger seat yall don’t know what the f**k happened i didnt set sh*t up,” the statement reads, per XXL. “When he got in the car I told him to hurry up and pull off because when he was in the store dudes were walking around the car looking suspicious the car would not put off because of thr seat belt while he was trying to get the car in drive i was looking out the back window and seen them running up after soon as I seen them and heard shots i got out fast as I could and ran screaming for help That was my homie my lover and my unborn baby father put some f**kn respect on me and his life.”

Rolling Loud remains the biggest hip-hop festival in the entire world. So much so that it has gotten its own movie with Owen Wilson and Matt Rife, which releases on October 2nd.

The festival decided to move away from Miami last year and go to Orlando instead. The 2026 Rolling Loud Florida festival was hosted at the Camping World Stadium, and it was a sellout crowd. Artists like Playboi Carti, Don Toliver, Yeat, and even Young Thug pulled up to perform.

“Orlando really showed up last year,” said Matt Zingler, CEO and Founder of Rolling Loud. “The energy was there from the second we opened the gates, and it made it clear this was a city we wanted to keep building in. We’re excited to be back this year and keep building on that momentum.”

Today, the festival revealed that it is officially making its grand return to Orlando in 2027. The dates run from May 7 to 9, although headliners have not yet been revealed.

Rolling Loud Returns

While the festival has not yet announced the headliners or the full lineup for this year, fans can certainly expect some of the biggest artists in the genre. Guys like Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely have become festival mainstays over the years. Meanwhile, there are also some new underground artists that fans can expect to see.

The official Rolling Loud pre-sale begins this Thursday, September 17th at 11 am ET, with a general pre-sale beginning at 12 pm ET. You can find out more details on the official Rolling Loud website.

Boosie Badazz Fires Back At Snitching Allegations, Leaks Texts With Trump Lobbyists https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009762-boosie-badazz-trump-lobbyists-text-messages Tue, 15 Sep 2026 17:07:18 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009762 Boosie Badazz combats claims that he snitched by appearing on "60 Minutes"

The post Boosie Badazz Fires Back At Snitching Allegations, Leaks Texts With Trump Lobbyists appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Perhaps one of the biggest head-scratchers of the year surrounds Boosie’s attempt at getting a pardon and the avenues he took to try to secure it. This week, the rapper appeared on 60 Minutes, where he discussed his dealings with Trump lobbyists who he claims promised to help him get a pardon. What’s worse is that he reportedly paid $600K to make it happen.

Since then, Boosie has made his grievances about the interview clear, but he’s also facing even more backlash as a result of it. Many people criticized his approach and his decision to reach out to Trump lobbyists Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl to try to get his pardon. Boosie shared screenshots of text messages he exchanged with Burkman, who allegedly promised that they’re “working around the clock.” At one point, Burkman’s text reads, “Trump is very sympathetic. We are very close my good friend.”

Needless to say, fans were even more confused about how Boosie would get duped by someone who was previously convicted of fraud. Eventually, Boosie demanded his money back within three days, claiming that he “did not do sh*t that the agreement said.”

Boosie Combats Snitching Allegations

On top of the text messages, Boosie combatted the allegations of snitching levied against him since his interview. He explained that the issue is entirely business-related, nothing to do with the streets. He questioned by people thought that it would be a good idea to handle it as if it was a feud between opps. “You want me to shoot a government lobbyist?” he said. 

Ultimately, Boosie doesn’t feel like he broke the code because he’s simply suing over a contractual dispute. Check out his responses and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Lul Pab’s Mom Breaks Silence After Lil Durk’s Not Guilty Verdict https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009742-lul-pab-mom-lil-durk-verdict-reaction Tue, 15 Sep 2026 16:22:49 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009742 Lul Pab's mom says she's happy the trial is over.

The post Lul Pab’s Mom Breaks Silence After Lil Durk’s Not Guilty Verdict appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
With the help of Brian Steel, Lil Durk did the impossible and beat the murder-for-hire charges laid against him last week. On Friday, a jury found Durk not guilty of all charges related to the murder of Lul Pab in Beverly Hills. And while most fans have been celebrating the legal victory, Pab’s mother seemingly wants to put this chapter behind her.

In a message shared on social media, Pab’s mother shared a brief message reacting to the verdict. “I’m not mad, sad, upset, or crying. I’m glad this is over!!!” she wrote, before adding, “Peace & Blessings… #LLPAB.”

Ultimately, it’s a message that emphasizes closure. Lul Pab was shot and killed in August 2022 in Beverly Hills. Prosecutors allege that Quando Rondo was the intended target of the shooting, which ultimately killed Pab.

Durk’s acquittal isn’t the end-all, be-all of the case, though. He’s currently facing another set of racketeering-related charges that claim the rapper is the head of a criminal organization the government calls Banks Gang Enterprise. The rapper is expected to stand trial for these charges on October 5th.

Lil Durk Found Not Guilty In Murder-For-Hire Case

This week, the rapper shared a message to the youth after his trial ended. 

“To the youth, I need y’all to hear me,” Durk said. “There were times in my life when I felt lost and couldn’t see beyond what was right in front of me. I know how deeply your environment and surroundings can influence the way you think, the choices you make, and what you believe is possible for your life, but they don’t have to determine who you become. Growth is real, and it’s never too late to choose a different direction.”

We will keep you posted on any further updates surrounding the trial.

Travis Scott is currently in the midst of a feud with Yeat, although it doesn’t appear as though he has much time for that. Yeat has issued a diss track, and Scott has yet to respond. Instead, he is focused on securing the bag with Rockstar Games as they prepare to release GTA VI on November 19.

While taking to Instagram this morning, Scott revealed that he is going to be part of the game. While we don’t know the exact nature of the collaboration, it appears as though it will have something to do with the game’s “Jack Of Hearts” strip club.

“Phase 1. NOW ITS TIME MY RETURN TO GAME GOTTA COME WITH RAGE AND ALOT OF DANCING LETS RIDE J… O. H….. to be continued See yall soon @rockstargames,” Scott wrote.

Travis Scott In GTA VI

Strip clubs have always been a large part of the Grand Theft Auto series, and that will be especially true in this new title. The game is set in Vice City, which is a fictionalized version of Miami. Scott’s inclusion in the game could very well be a character tied to the strip club, or it could be that his music will be featured in the game. Whatever the case may be, this will be an exciting prospect for hip-hop fans.

GTA has always featured hip-hop in its games, and it will be no exception in GTA VI. There is expected to be a Dirty South Classics radio station, which will pay homage to some of Southern hip-hop’s biggest legends. Meanwhile, like past games, fans should also expect a contemporary rap station. We already know Lil Wayne, Kodak Black, and Sexyy Red will have their music featured.

Let us know how excited you are for GTA VI, in the comments below.

Chicago artist reportedly responded to the murder of BloodHound Q50 over the weekend. On his IG story, he posted a photo of Q50 with the caption “We spend 50K today !!!!” He also said “Bet I be da last mf” and “Good day to b a f***ing reap.” On Monday, he followed this up with a new song called “Am I Wrong,” which appears to have nothing to do with the Q50 situation. Instead, this new track is a melodic ballad of sorts, in which YFG Fatso offers his perspective on the trials and tribulations he has faced in his life. The song’s timing has sparked strong reactions, with one commenter saying, “I’m so glad this song wasn’t about what I thought it was about.”

After the conviction of Kewon White for the murder of Mo3, Yella Beezy is set to stand trial for capital murder charges related to the “For Real” rapper’s death. However, his trial has been pushed back by over a month, according to Fox 4 News. The trial was initially supposed to start jury selection by Monday. Judge Chika Anyiam granted a continuance to the defence, largely because of issues related to their witnesses. Both the defense and prosecutors are coordinating to bring federal witnesses to court.

The defense said they needed more time because their expert witnesses wouldn’t be available for the next few weeks. Moreover, the defense requested the transcript from Kewon White’s trial before Yella Beezy is tried. The court reporter will need roughly 30 days to bring the transcript from White’s trial to the defense, who asked for another two weeks to review the documents. Prosecutors didn’t oppose the motion. 

Bryson “Boom” Paul reports that jury selection for Yella Beezy’s trial will begin on October 26th.

Yella Beezy Trial

Mo3 was shot and killed on Interstate 35 in Dallas in 2020 after he was ambushed. White was convicted of capital murder for the shooting and sentenced to life without parole. However, prosecutors accuse Yella Beezy of hiring White to carry out the shooting. They said the rapper paid $40K for the shooting. He’s pleaded not guilty and denied involvement in the case. 

There’s also a third defendant, Devin Brown, whom prosecutors allege was in the car when White killed Mo3. Brown is currently facing a capital murder charge related to the killing.

DJ Akademiks has found himself engrossed in the investigation surrounding the murder of BloodHound Q50. Over the weekend, the Chicago artist was shot and killed after being ambushed outside of a gas station convenience store. In surveillance footage, multiple men could be seen approaching the vehicle, firing dozens of shots into the driver’s side door.

The Chicago Police Department is currently investigating the murder. However, internet sleuths are trying to piece together their own investigation on platforms like X and Reddit. Of course, you should take these investigations with a grain of salt. Redditors tend to be overzealous with this kind of thing, and they don’t have access to the same resources as the police.

That did not stop DJ Akademiks from engaging with some of the materials that have been posted online so far. As you can clearly see, he was left incredulous at some of the alleged findings.

DJ Akademiks Reacts To BloodHound Q50 Situation

Meanwhile, the woman who was allegedly in the car with BloodHound Q50 at the time of the shooting, is claiming that the Tesla’s seatbelt safety feature contributed to his death.

“I am the girl that was in the passenger seat yall don’t know what the fck happened i didnt set sht up when he got in the car I told him to hurry up and pull off because when he was in the store dudes were walking around the car looking suspicious,” she wrote. “The car would not put off because of thr seat belt while he was trying to get the car in drive, I was looking out the back window and seen them running up after soon as I seen them and heard shots, I got out fast as I could and ran screaming for help.

On Instagram, the woman who was allegedly in the car made another statement, this time putting partial blame on BloodHound Q50’s Tesla. As she explains, the Tesla allegedly wouldn’t go into drive as the artist didn’t have his seat belt on. The safety feature activated and kept him in park as the men ran up on him.
