Now, things have changed.

Lil Wayne and Madi Cannon were in a relationship a few months ago, and there were reports that the rapper had gotten engaged. However, not long after these reports, he hopped online and said that the two had actually broken up. Moreover, Wayne said rumors of their engagement were completely false.

This was all happening around the same time Wayne hopped on tour and was receiving flak for not showing up to a concert in Maine. Since that time, the tour has gone on without issues, with Wayne making a make-up stop in Bangor.

Recently, Wayne hopped on camera to wish B.G. a happy engagement to Brooke Jones. Surprisingly, Madi Cannon made a cameo in the video, as she was right behind Wayne the whole time. As Wayne excitedly congratulated his friend, he revealed that he and Cannon are officially engaged.

Lil Wayne & Madi Cannon Back Together

It is unclear if they were always engaged as previously reported, or if they decided to get engaged after reconciling following their breakup. While the timeline remains unclear, there is no denying that this is great news for Wayne and Cannon.

When Wayne made his breakup statement a few months ago, it was clear that he was hurt by the situation. He felt as though the breakup was necessary to protect Cannon. Now, it seems as though love has triumphed over all.

All of this comes amid rumblings that Wayne could be putting together Tha Carter VII. Tha Carter VI was not what fans were hoping for, although this upcoming project could be the comeback album Wayne fans have been asking for.

Drake Freestyles About Kai Cenat’s Vivet Backpack On Stream https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011291-drake-freestyle-about-vivet-streetwear-news Tue, 29 Sep 2026 12:27:18 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011291 Drake dropped a short freestyle referencing Kai Cenat's new Vivet streaming backpack during a Kick livestream.

Drake dropped a quick freestyle during a recent Kick livestream, referencing Kai Cenat’s new Vivet streaming backpack. The moment quickly caught attention online, given how connected the two have been through streaming and fashion lately.

Drake kept the bars short and off the cuff, sounding like a freestyle done in the moment rather than anything prepared before. It was a fun, low-stakes moment that showed off his ability to riff on pretty much anything in front of him.

Vivet’s streamer backpack debuted during Cenat’s New York Fashion Week show, giving Drake an easy, timely reference point. Fans watching the stream picked up on it fast, clipping the moment and sharing it across social media shortly after.

Drake has referenced Vivet before in other moments, so this freestyle isn’t entirely out of nowhere. Either way, it added a fun, unscripted moment to an otherwise ordinary stream.

That kind of instant reaction shows just how closely fans are tracking anything connecting Drake and Cenat right now. Moments like this keep the conversation going, whether it’s about the music, the brand, or just the attention both of them tend to draw.

Drake’s Vivet Freestyle

Vivet has picked up lots of attention since its debut, but not all of it has been positive. Pricing has been one of the bigger sticking points, with some fans saying the prices are simply just too high.

The brand’s entry-level items sit in a more accessible range, but pieces like the streaming backpack have drawn criticism for feeling steep given Cenat’s limited track record in fashion. Critics have also pointed to Vivet’s early designs echoing established luxury references a little too closely.

Even with that mixed reception, Vivet has still managed to sell through several pieces, with names like DDG and Lacy confirming purchases. Whether the pricing debate cools off over time likely depends on how the next few collections land.

For now, moments like Drake’s freestyle only add more attention, whether Cenat wants the extra spotlight on pricing or not.

Drake Unveils Official Release Date For “FOMO” Album But There’s A Catch https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011294-drake-fomo-release-date-album Tue, 29 Sep 2026 12:09:51 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011294 Drake's "FOMO" livestream was a huge success, and this week, he will be releasing some of the songs on streaming platforms.

Drake remains one of the biggest artists in the entire world, and his “FOMO” livestream certainly proved that. During the stream, he unveiled a plethora of new songs, which were eventually released as individual loosies on his YouTube channel.

However, fans have been asking for these songs to make their way to streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Some have even wondered if there was going to be a FOMO album.

Last night, Drake did an impromptu gambling stream for Stake, and it was here that he revealed an album is, in fact, on the horizon…sort of. Essentially, most of his “FOMO” songs will drop on Thursday.

“All the songs you guys have been asking for… well, not all of them, but enough of them, are coming on Thursday,” Drake said triumphantly.

Drake Reveals FOMO Drops This Week

It is unclear whether or not the songs will be backed into an album or EP format. There is potential for these songs to be released individually, much like he did on YouTube. Either way, fans have been made well aware that these songs are from the “FOMO” sessions. This includes songs with Don Toliver, and perhaps his most popular “FOMO” track, “QUEBEC.”

This has been a humongous year for Drake and his fans. In May, he dropped ICEMAN, MAID OF HONOUR, and HABIBTI. Now, he is back with “FOMO” and a World Tour in 2027.

While his moves against UMG have continued to receive criticism, there is no denying that his music has received praise all year long. It feels as though Drake’s comeback is complete, and even his biggest haters would admit such a thing.

Jay-Z Asks Court To Revive Extortion Case After Accuser Recants https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011288-jay-z-tony-buzbee-extortion-case-revive Tue, 29 Sep 2026 00:30:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011288 New sworn statements from Jane Doe are being cited as “explosive” evidence in Jay-Z’s push to reopen his case against Tony Buzbee.

The post Jay-Z Asks Court To Revive Extortion Case After Accuser Recants appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Jane Doe’s reversal has given Jay-Z new ammunition in a California legal fight that appeared to be over. Days after the woman who once accused him of rape declared that her allegations were false, his attorneys asked an appeals court to reconsider its decision keeping his extortion and defamation claims against Tony Buzbee dismissed.

In a petition for rehearing, Jay-Z argues that Doe’s sworn declaration amounts to “explosive new evidence” that could support claims against Buzbee and his law firm. According to Billboard, his attorneys contend that the new statement justifies sending the case back to Los Angeles County Superior Court for limited discovery. “Fairness and due process require this court to grant rehearing,” the filing states.

Doe filed the declaration last week in Jay-Z’s separate New York malicious prosecution case. She now says she never met the Roc Nation founder and that her allegation against him was untrue. She also claims she began expressing doubts about her account before withdrawing the original sexual assault lawsuit in February 2025. CBS News reported that Doe denied receiving payment from Jay-Z in connection with her recantation.

The Appeals Court Had Already Rejected His Claims

California’s Second District Court of Appeal upheld the dismissal of Jay-Z’s extortion and defamation claims earlier this month. Bloomberg Law reported that the panel found the lower court properly excluded recordings obtained by private investigators and correctly applied California’s anti-SLAPP law.

The appellate panel also concluded that the record did not show Buzbee knowingly advanced a false rape allegation or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. Buzbee had submitted declarations describing investigations that he said led his firm to believe Doe’s account at the time. Jay-Z’s latest filing argues her recantation undercuts that reasoning and warrants another look at what Buzbee knew before publicly naming him.

Buzbee has pushed back on Doe’s new account. He told Rolling Stone that multiple lawyers heard the same allegations from her before she ever met him. One of his attorneys later characterized the recantation as “bought-and-paid-for,” though that filing offered no evidence of payment.

Support has been pouring in for Jazzma Kendrick since she accused Rick Ross of physically abusing her, and she says the response helped reassure her that speaking publicly was the right decision. The model returned to Instagram on Monday to thank people who reached out after she shared photos of an injured lip and identified Ross as the person she says caused it.

“To everyone who reached out, sent love, or just held space for me, thank you,” Kendrick wrote. She added that she had seen the messages even if she had not answered them, then told followers, “I want you to know I’m OK.”

Kendrick clarified that the alleged incident happened about a month ago, giving her time to process what she says occurred before posting about it publicly. “Speaking up wasn’t easy, but your support reminded me I made the right choice,” she wrote. She ended the update with a message for anyone facing something similar before saying she was ready to get “back to living my life.”

Kendrick Says She Left After The Alleged Assault

The allegations first surfaced Saturday after Kendrick responded to a follower who commented on a selfie and said they could see what Ross saw in her. “He saw a punching bag,” Kendrick replied. She later posted images showing what appeared to be a swollen lip, writing that one photo was taken “the day Rick busted my lip and the day I left.” Another image showed a visible injury inside her upper lip.

Kendrick also urged others not to remain in relationships after physical violence. “If a man hits you one time, he will do it again,” she wrote. Her posts did not include a police report or indicate whether law enforcement became involved.

She and Ross had been linked since at least August 2025 and later appeared together publicly after an earlier breakup. Their most recent public outing was in August. Ross has not publicly addressed Kendrick’s allegations, and his representative did not respond to requests for comment from People or Us Weekly.

The post Tony Buzbee Challenges Jane Doe’s New Statement Clearing Jay-Z appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A new sworn statement clearing Jay-Z of a rape allegation is now being challenged by the lawyer who once represented the woman behind it. Tony Buzbee’s legal team is calling Jane Doe’s latest declaration “bought-and-paid-for,” arguing that Jay-Z secured the reversal by dropping her from his ongoing lawsuit.

According to AllHipHop, Buzbee’s attorney made the accusation in a Sept. 25 letter to U.S. District Judge Dale Ho. The filing argues that Jay-Z did not need Doe’s declaration in order to dismiss his claims against her, yet attached it to the notice anyway. Buzbee’s side characterizes her removal from the case as the benefit she received because of the statement.

Doe says otherwise. In the 12-page declaration filed Sept. 24, she stated that Jay-Z never raped her and that she has never met him. She also said neither the rapper nor his representatives paid her or promised compensation for changing her account. Reuters reported that the declaration was filed as Jay-Z moved to dismiss her from his malicious-prosecution case.

Buzbee Wants Her Earlier Statements Considered, Too

Buzbee’s attorneys are asking Ho to strike the declaration from the record. If the judge allows it to remain, they want the court to also consider earlier sworn statements in which Doe continued to stand by her allegation after withdrawing her original lawsuit in February 2025.

Those accounts now conflict sharply. Doe previously accused Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexually assaulting her after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards when she was 13. She later dismissed that lawsuit with prejudice. In her newest declaration, she says the accusation against Jay-Z was false and that she began doubting parts of her story before withdrawing the case.

Jay-Z has denied the allegation from the beginning and later sued Doe, Buzbee, and attorney David Fortney, accusing them of pursuing claims they knew were false. Buzbee has denied wrongdoing. Earlier this month, AllHipHop reported that a California appeals court upheld the dismissal of separate claims Jay-Z brought against Buzbee there. That ruling did not determine whether Doe’s original allegation was true. The New York case against Buzbee and Fortney remains active.

“I’m dating my music” is Remy Ma’s answer to questions about whether there is a new man in her life. Despite recent speculation surrounding her and rapper Millyz, she says romance is not part of the plan as she puts her attention into her newly released Alimony EP.

TMZ caught up with the Bronx rapper at a New York listening event and asked directly whether she was seeing anyone. Remy described herself as being in a “monogamous relationship” with her music, shutting down assumptions that her recent time with Millyz had turned romantic.

The speculation followed a clip of the two getting close while promoting their collaboration “Say Yea.” That moment drew commentary from Azealia Banks and arrived while Remy’s split from Papoose continues playing out publicly. Papoose filed for divorce in May 2025, and both rappers have since addressed their marriage through interviews and diss records.

Alimony Is Getting Remy’s Attention Instead

Released Sept. 25, the six-song EP gives Remy another outlet after months of other people weighing in on her personal life. She told Complex that she wanted the project to feel like “a conversation between women” and said she preferred putting her energy into music rather than responding to every story told about her.

Keke Wyatt appears on the project’s “Why I Get Married?,” and Remy also used her TMZ interview to defend the singer following her recent arrest in Georgia. She called Wyatt an “amazing mother” and said she does not believe the R&B singer would ever harm a child. Wyatt has disputed portions of the initial reporting about the charges against her.

It seems Remy is keeping the conversation about her love life simple. Whatever people made of the Millyz clips, she says Alimony is the relationship getting her attention.

B.G. & Juvenile Want A Hot Boys Biopic https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011276-juvenile-bg-hotboys-biopic Mon, 28 Sep 2026 22:34:42 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011276 A Hot Boys movie could be a “blockbuster,” according to B.G., while Juvenile thinks the story may need a full series.

The post B.G. & Juvenile Want A Hot Boys Biopic appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Hollywood could have a New Orleans Rap story waiting if B.G. and Juvenile get their way. During a recent conversation on Still 400, the longtime Cash Money collaborators floated the idea of turning the Hot Boys’ history into a film, with B.G. arguing that their story could carry the same kind of weight as Straight Outta Compton.

Around the 55-minute mark of the Sept. 16 episode, B.G. said a Hot Boys movie could be a “blockbuster.” Juvenile immediately started calling out studios that might want to make it happen. “The sh*t I’ve been through, sh*t you’ve been through, sh*t Wayne been through,” he said, according to Complex. “All of us done been through some sh*t. We all got a story to tell.”

The idea has not been announced as an actual film project. For now, it is a pitch from two members of a group whose history stretches well past its three-album run. B.G., Juvenile, Lil Wayne, and Turk formed the Hot Boys under Cash Money in the late 1990s, helping establish the label before each member’s career took a different turn.

Juvenile Thinks The Story Could Be Bigger Than One Movie

Juvenile suggested the story might work better as a limited series, giving each member enough room to tell his own side. He and B.G. also made clear that they would not want a screenwriter relying on AI to construct the script. They preferred people who lived through the era to shape how it is told.

The timing makes the idea less hypothetical than it might have sounded a few years ago. The Hot Boys have been reconnecting publicly, with Turk recently sharing footage of himself rehearsing with Wayne, Juvenile, B.G., and Mannie Fresh. Juvenile previously said the group had begun working on new music, though a full Hot Boys album has not yet arrived.

Moreover, B.G. already has another film project nearing production. Complex reports that a solo biopic about his life, from growing up in New Orleans to his rise with Cash Money, is expected to begin filming in the city soon.

The arrest warrant behind Keke Wyatt’s recent Georgia case is filling in details that were missing when news of her booking first surfaced. A witness reportedly told police that the R&B singer pulled out a handgun during a Sept. 20 custody exchange and threatened to shoot another woman, an allegation Wyatt denied when questioned by officers.

According to the affidavit obtained by TMZ, Wyatt was present when an argument broke out between two other people involved in the exchange. A witness alleged that Wyatt produced a black 9mm Beretta and extended it through a car window before saying, “Let that b*tch come over here, so I can blow her brains out.” Wyatt acknowledged holding the gun, according to the affidavit, but denied pointing it through the window or threatening anyone.

Complex reports that three children were nearby when the confrontation allegedly unfolded. Authorities cited their presence in connection with the child cruelty allegation that appeared in Wyatt’s booking information. The affidavit does not accuse her of physically harming a child.

The Warrant Adds Context To The Charges Wyatt Disputes

Wyatt’s team has challenged much of the reporting surrounding her arrest. In a statement shared after the booking became public, her representatives said Henry County court documents reflect only one simple assault charge. They specifically denied that she was charged with cruelty to children or terroristic threats.

Public booking information tells a different story. Records reviewed by CBS Atlanta list more serious allegations, while the warrant affidavit describes the alleged gun threat that investigators say prompted the arrest. Wyatt’s representatives have not released the court documents they referenced, leaving an unresolved discrepancy between the booking record and the case status they say is currently before the court.

Wyatt was released after posting $1,050 bond two days after her arrest. Her team says she intends to address the matter through the legal process and continue with her scheduled performances.

PJ Tucker is teaming up with StockX for a new video series called LISTED. The series will dive into the personal sneaker collections of some of culture’s biggest names, starting with Tucker’s own.

As part of the launch, Tucker is putting 27 pairs from his personal collection up for sale on StockX. The lineup includes rare samples, player exclusives, and vintage pairs pulled straight from his rotation, giving fans a real shot at owning something from his personal archive.

“I can genuinely say every pair has a story,” Tucker said. “These are some of my favorite pieces, the rarest, craziest, hardest-to-find editions.”

Framing the series around personal storytelling sets LISTED apart from a typical resale drop. Rather than just listing product, StockX is leaning into the history behind each pair, giving collectors context most listings never provide.

Given Tucker’s reputation, this drop should draw serious attention from collectors. Few names in sneaker culture are as important as PJ Tucker’s. From actually wearing exclusive kicks on court to one of the most impressive personal collections of all time.

PJ Tucker x StockX

Tucker has long held the title of the NBA’s biggest sneakerhead, with a personal collection reportedly running into the thousands of pairs. That reputation only grew during his playing career, where he regularly broke out grails most fans could only dream of owning.

This also isn’t his first time opening up his collection to the public either. Tucker previously partnered with eBay for a similar video tour through his sneaker loft, giving fans a rare look inside his personal archive.

Launching LISTED with Tucker as the first feature makes sense given that history. Few collectors can match both the depth of his rotation and the stories behind each individual pair.

With 27 pieces now available through StockX, fans finally get a real shot at owning something straight from Tucker’s own collection. There’s simply no better co-sign in the sneaker world than PJ Tucker himself, and he’s really pulling back the curtain on this one.
