Wanna Be Free – Song by Meek Mill & G Herbo

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 04:02:16 +0000

Meek Mill and G Herbo are joining forces again on “Wanna Be Free,” a new single that Meek Mill surprise announced. The collaboration brings together two rappers whose music has often reflected the pressure and determination that come with navigating life on their own terms. The pair previously connected on 2025’s “Survivor’s Guilt,” which received a positive reaction from fans. The timing also gives the release added context for G Herbo. Earlier this month, he spoke about possibly stepping away from the music industry. So, “Wanna Be Free” arrives while fans are still wondering what his next chapter could look like.

For now, the title and the pairing are enough to put the track on listeners’ radar. Meek and Herbo have both built careers in their respective careers, and their previous collaboration gives this reunion some history.

Release Date: October 16, 2026
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

Yeah, I got caught up
Never leave your n**gas, that’s the way that I was brought up
Finger on the trigger, a n**ga play, he gettin’ tore up
Then he can’t take the pain, he gotta pour up
Got n**gas askin’ what I did for n**gas, I’m tryna figure what they bought us

North West Pushes Back At Critics Calling Her Style “Demonic”

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 03:37:00 +0000

North West is asking people to look past her appearance before deciding who she is. During a livestream with her mom, Kim Kardashian, the 13-year-old responded to online comments describing her style as “demonic.” “Stop saying I’m demonic,” North said. “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” she added. She also affirmed her belief in Jesus, making clear that her fashion choices do not define her faith.

Kardashian was sitting next to her when she joined in on the conversation. She pointed out North’s black grills and piercings as reasons that may have prompted some of the comments. North then questioned why people connect her fashion choices with something demonic. Over the years, North West has been seen experimenting with a more individual look. Including her blue hair, dark clothing, and bold accessories. She was direct about wanting room to express herself without strangers turning her appearance into a judgment about her character.

The comments also connect to a broader conversation around North’s public image. She is building a music career while growing up in one of the most visible families in entertainment. HNHH covered her debut EP, N0rth4evr, earlier this year, as well as a previous moment when she affirmed her love for Jesus despite criticism of her aesthetic. She’s in the spotlight now more than ever.

North West Says Not To Judge A Book By Its Cover

North’s message is simple: her bold look shouldn’t be treated as proof of her beliefs. During the livestream, she did not suggest she plans to change her style to make online commenters more comfortable. Instead, she pushed back and her mother clearly supported her decisions.

As North continues to explore music, fashion, and her identity in public, reactions to her choices are likely to keep coming. This time, she answered them herself. Her point was not that everyone needs to like her look. It was that people should not mistake self-expression for something it is not.

Meek Mill Says He Could Sell Out Madison Square Garden And The Barclays

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 03:03:00 +0000

Meek Mill has always been confident in himself. In fact, recently he admitted that he’s confident he can fill two of New York’s biggest stages. On October 15, the Philadelphia rapper posted on X that he could sell out either Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center with just 45 days of promotion. The claim immediately gives fans something to debate.

“I love meek but he does make these random unwarranted statements,” one person commented.

“He already sold out both before. But I know it’s easier for yall to hate,” another fan defended.

The venues make the statement especially attention-grabbing. Madison Square Garden sits in Manhattan, while Barclays Center is in Brooklyn, and both are major stops for artists in New York. Meek’s not saying he could sell out overnight. He is saying that, with a month and a half to build anticipation, he believes he could bring in the crowd.

It is also the kind of claim that invites a broader conversation about how artists measure their current popularity. A packed arena can depend on more than name recognition. Tour timing, ticket prices, marketing, new music, guest appearances, and local audience interest can all shape demand.

Meek Mill Offers His Perspective

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

The statement comes after a stretch of headlines focused on Meek’s social media back-and-forth with DJ Akademiks. HNHH recently covered Akademiks’ critiquing Meek and his booking rate. Akademiks started the convo by alleging that he has insider information about what Meek’s rate is to perform a show. He claims that there aren’t any festivals willing to make Meek a headliner because he’s allegedly asking for $300K to do festivals like Rolling Loud.

Whether Meek follows through with an arena announcement remains to be seen. However, he’s confident in himself and in the age of social media, anything can happen. Popularity for musicians can fluctuate even throughout a year. So it remains to be seen whether Meek Mill is on a mission to prove himself.

Diddy Continues To Refute Clayton Howard’s Allegations, Wants Lawsuit Tossed

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 02:39:45 +0000

Sean “Diddy” Combs is asking a federal judge to dismiss Clayton Howard’s amended lawsuit. He argues that the former male escort’s paid encounters with him do not support claims that he was coerced into sexual activity. In an October 7 filing, according to TMZ, Combs and two of his companies said Howard could decide which services he offered. They also claimed that he could reject requests he did not want to accept.

Combs’ legal team reportedly compared Howard to a restaurant offering choices on and off the menu. The filing also alleges that Howard returned to the encounters for sex and money. In addition, the court documents call him an “enabler and exploiter.”

“Howard is a prostitute,” the court documents detailed. “He is paid for sex for a living. To perform his job, he sheds his clothes and personal effects to engage in an array of sexual acts. Including vaginal and oral copulation. That is his professional pursuit, selling his body for cash to assist his curated clientele to achieve whatever sexual desire, fantasy or fetish is demanded.”

Howard’s complaint disagrees. He argues that agreeing to paid sexual encounters did not mean consenting to every act or circumstance that allegedly followed. He claims Combs and others used drugs, misrepresentations, and physical restraint to keep him participating. One allegation concerns a 2016 trip to Miami. Howard says his clothes, identification, and phone were taken. And that he witnessed Combs assault Cassie Ventura before being ordered into another room, where he says he was kept for about 12 hours. Combs’ filing disputes the legal basis for those claims.

Combs Is Trying To Fight Back

Moreover, a jury acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, but convicted him on two counts of transportation for prostitution. In July, a judge allowed several of Howard’s civil claims against Combs to proceed. Meanwhile, dismissing claims against Ventura with leave to amend. Combs’ lawyers now argue that Howard’s revised complaint still does not connect the alleged coercion to sexual acts he would not otherwise have agreed to.

The judge is scheduled to hear arguments on the dismissal requests October 21. The upcoming hearing will focus on the legal dispute over consent: Combs’ team says Howard had the ability to refuse, while Howard maintains that agreeing to paid sex did not mean giving up control over everything that happened. Until the judge rules, both sides’ positions remain contested.

Air Jordan 3 “Santa” Hides A 1985 Christmas Ad Inside

Ben Atkinson — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 01:58:00 +0000

The Air Jordan 3 is getting a Santa makeover, and this one is only for kids. The “Santa” arrives on November 21st through SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers.

Sizing and pricing are simple. Grade school pairs cost $155, preschool pairs cost $95, and toddler pairs cost $80.

Overall, the look is easy to read. Red leather covers most of the upper, with deeper red on the toe and heel. White shows up on the tongue and eyestays, and a red Jumpman sits on the tongue.

At the back, the black heel panel carries a small gold Jumpman and the word AIR. It is a clean finish for a holiday pair. The inside is where things get playful. A shaggy black lining wraps the ankle opening, which is rare for an Air Jordan 3. Overall it makes the shoe feel cozy.

The insoles carry the best story. Their artwork comes from a Nike holiday ad in 1985. The ad pictured Santa dropping down a chimney in Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” sneakers.

Adults get a different option as the Air Jordan 3 “Not Nice” arrives on the same day. Together, the two pairs tell one holiday story. That is a smart way to split the release.

The 1985 ad is a nice piece of Jordan history. It came out when the Air Jordan 1 was brand new, and the line was just getting started.

Using it on an Air Jordan 3 is a little unexpected. Many fans would have liked to see the Air Jordan 1 used as the canvas. Still, the Air Jordan 3 is a great holiday shoe.

The red leather and white details give it a clean look, even with the holiday theme. The fuzzy lining stays on the inside, so it does not overwhelm the design.

Kids pairs like this are popular gifts, and the timing is smart. November 21st lands before Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

The “Not Nice” pair is the adult option. It has a dark, worn-looking upper with red elephant print, plus a stitched “Not Nice” label under the heel tab. It is a very different take on the same story.

Jordan Brand Turns Air Jordan 11 Into A “Space Jam” Baseball Cleat

Ben Atkinson — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 01:24:03 +0000

Jordan Brand is taking the Space Jam celebration to the baseball diamond. The Air Jordan 11 MCS Cleat “Space Jam” is set to release on November 5th.

The price is $200, and the style code is JA7792-400. It will be available in men’s sizing through Nike and select retailers.

This is not a normal Air Jordan 11. It is a baseball cleat built on the classic silhouette. Jordan Brand has already reworked the model for the diamond in recent years.

The design uses a purple, color-shifting finish. It matches the look of the “Magic Ball” Air Jordan 11, a women’s pair arriving on November 11th. Black accents show up throughout the cleat.

Overall, it is a very clean way to turn a famous shoe into a piece of baseball gear. The glossy look still keeps the spirit of the original patent leather.

There is also a great story behind the idea. Michael Jordan spent time with the Birmingham Barons, a Minor League baseball team, and the 1996 film includes that baseball connection. Baseball fans and sneakerheads alike will want to take note of the date. Some outlets list the price as $225, so that detail may still change.

The cleat is part of a very large Space Jam collection. Jordan Brand is celebrating the film’s 30th anniversary with sneakers, apparel, and more.

Most of the collection arrives on November 5th. That includes Air Jordan 1 Low and Mid pairs, a Spizike Low, a Son of Mars Low, and a spiked Air Jordan 1 Low Golf.

The headline pairs still come later. The Air Jordan 11 “Magic Ball” arrives November 11th, followed by the “Green Screen” and the original “Space Jam” 11 on December 12th.

Jordan Brand has leaned into baseball for years. Cleats like this give fans a different way to wear a favorite design. They also give players on the field a rare chance to wear a Space Jam piece.
