Earlier this week, underground artist ilykimchi was the victim of an iCloud leak. This subsequently led to various nude images being uploaded online. Overall, this kind of thing is highly illegal and also traumatizing for the victim.

Unfortunately, the internet used this as an opportunity to pile on ilykimchi, who was also exposed for cheating on Oogie Mane with Tezzus. The YSL rapper was in some of the photos that were leaked, and this led to some cyberbullying directed towards kimchi.

Tezzus also previewed a diss track against Oogie Mane, which confused fans further. The question on everyone’s mind was: why drop a diss track on someone who is supposedly a victim of cheating?

Well, now we know the answer to that question. In new tweets that have since been deleted, ilykimchi revealed that she told Tezzus that Oogie Mane had choked and hit her. kimchi originally said she was lying to Tezzus about the alleged abuse, although a video she uploaded appears to suggest she was allegedly telling the truth.

ilykimchi And Oogie Mane Discuss Allegations

In the video above, ilykimchi and Oogie Mane can be heard discussing the situation. Oogie Mane asks her why she aired him out to people, including social media. ilykimchi then said that it doesn’t feel good to be choked and hit. These are very serious allegations, and many are still trying to piece together what has gone on here.

Meanwhile, ilykimchi’s last post on X was quite devastating. She used negative language against herself, which was certainly sparked by the way people have been speaking to her over the last two days. Moreover, she rightfully said that she is still a victim in all of this, as spreading unconsensual nudes is violating.

“Even tho what I did was terrible and I’m a whore and all that yall are still disgusting weirdos for hacking me and spreading unconsensual nudes and pictures that were never supposed to be public,” ilykimchi wrote. “Two things can b true.”

This remains a developing story.

Lucki’s West Hollywood Home Robbed Of $500K Worth Of Items  https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002228-lucki-home-burglary Thu, 16 Jul 2026 15:41:24 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002228 Designer clothes and luxury bags were reportedly stolen from Lucki's home. Authorities have yet to arrest any suspects.

Lucki was hit with some unfortunate news after he got to his home this week. According to NBC Los Angeles, the rapper’s West Hollywood home was hit by burglars who got away with $500K worth of personal items. 

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the Drugs R Bad rapper reportedly returned home on Tuesday night around 10:30 p.m. when he discovered that burglars had made their way through his home and left with a significant amount of his belongings. Lucki reportedly discovered that about half a million dollars’ worth of his personal items, like designer clothes, bags, and more, were stolen.

At this point, it’s unclear exactly when the break-in occurred. However, investigators are trying to track down security footage from the area to try to ensure that they can find the culprits. In the meantime, they’ve also begun reaching out to residents in the area for witness statements with hopes of trying to find an accurate timeline.

Lucki Home Robbery Might Be Part Of Broader Organized Burglaries

Per Hot 97, details on whether there was forced entry or a specific targeting have not been revealed, nor have they determined if anyone was inside the home at the time of the burglary. Since it is an ongoing investigation, it probably will take a bit longer before any further information is revealed to the public. 

Currently, there are no suspects that have been identified. However, the robbery comes during a time when there has been a string of break-ins and thefts at residential homes in that area. These have largely involved entertainers, professional athletes, and those living in these high-value areas. Police have also warned that burglars are targeting luxury homes where jewellery, designer goods, and other expensive items are prevalent. 

We’ll keep you posted on any further updates regarding Lucki.

Rick Ross is excited about the Miami Heat this season as they now have Giannis Antetokounmpo on the roster. This should be enough to bring the franchise back to its glory days. However, there is also a chance of the team getting LeBron James.

During a conversation with TMZ Sports, Ross revealed his pitch to LeBron. He believes the boss move would be LeBron in Miami to finish his career. Why? Because that is where the money is.

“I’m talking from a boss’s perspective,” Ross said. “The boss move is for LeBron to come to Miami where the most billionaires are at. Because of his brand. You got to feed the other 30 businesses that Bron has created.”

Rick Ross acknowledged that Cleveland is a great city. However, he thinks Miami is the right spot for James as it goes beyond just basketball.

“Cleveland, I just left Cleveland two days ago. Amazing city. We had an amazing pool party. But it ain’t nothing like Miami,” Ross said. “This is about business, guys. I know you guys who are still fascinated, who want to see him jump from the free throw line and dunk. No, I want to see him make some of the biggest empires and put his logos on some of those new big buildings downtown in Miami. And do more business with the billionaires that’s down there.”

We are a couple of weeks into free agency, and it is still unclear what LeBron is going to do. However, it does seem like the Heat are one of his top three destinations.

Shreveport Mayor Calls 50 Cent’s Bluff Over Threats To Scale Back Investment  https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002220-50-cent-shreveport-mayor-responds-red-river-district Thu, 16 Jul 2026 14:16:05 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002220 50 Cent wants to pull back on his Red River District investment.

The post Shreveport Mayor Calls 50 Cent’s Bluff Over Threats To Scale Back Investment  appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
50 Cent is never one to shy away from expressing his grievances online. In fact, it’s almost turned into a negotiation tactic at this point, whether in film and television or in real estate. Most people are aware that Fif has been setting up shop in Shreveport, LA, a move that undoubtedly yields major economic benefits for the city. However, he recently revealed that he might be pulling back from his investments.

“There are people in Shreveport that just don’t want things to get better. I only make deals that make sense. I’m gonna have to pull back on The Red River! ✌ Peace,” he wrote. 

The post undoubtedly raised concerns after Fif previously suggested that downtown Shreveport would be “unrecognizable” and look “brand new” in a few years. In an interview with KSLA, one business owner explained how Fif’s investment brought hope to the city, especially regarding its economic momentum.

Shreveport Mayor Responds To 50 Cent

However, one person who doesn’t seem too stressed about Fif’s announcement in Shreveport is Mayor Tom Arceneaux. “I didn’t have much of a reaction,” Arceneaux told KSLA News. “That’s his expression, I guess, of some element of frustration.”

Moreover, Arceneaux doesn’t seem to think Fif’s efforts in Shreveport are done. “He has at least three public projects that he’s working on that he’s received state funds for or is to be reimbursed state funds for, and I don’t see him abandoning those,” he said. Moreover, Arceneaux pointed to Fif’s multi-million dollar property investments across the city as evidence that Fif’s presence will remain in Shreveport for the foreseeable future.

The city estimated that 50 Cent’s investment in Shreveport’s Red River District would help boost their economy by billions of dollars and ensure nearly 6,000 new jobs. While all of this sounds good, there were immediate concerns upon its announcement that major repairs would be required for the project to push forward. 

We’ll keep you posted on any further updates regarding 50’s plans in Shreveport.

DJ Akademiks has been extremely critical of Jay-Z and Roc Nation as of late. In fact, this criticism was the catalyst for his recent sit-down with Charlamagne Tha God, where he made it crystal clear that he thinks the media has a pro-Jay-Z bias.

This past weekend, Jay-Z performed at Yankee Stadium, and it led to all sorts of praise for the legendary rapper. Hip-hop media was out in full force, and the fans themselves were having an incredible time. It was proof that Jay-Z’s influence isn’t manufactured. Instead, he is an organic force with one of the most dedicated fan bases in the culture.

During his stream last night, Akademiks revealed that he is throwing in the towel when it comes to his Jay-Z criticism. He feels as though hip-hop media is doing the work for him by exposing their supposed biases.

DJ Akademiks Takes A Step Back

“I don’t have to keep beating a dead horse,” Akademiks said. “People are seeing through the manipulation.” Throughout his stream, the commentator also said that Drake and Nicki Minaj have been effective at criticizing Jay-Z on social media and through their music.

Subsequently, he said that Ebro’s defense of Charlamagne Tha God is further proof that the media is trying to manipulate the narrative surrounding Jay-Z. Ak is feeling as though he is one of the few who see through the alleged facade. However, he would rather let the facade unravel then continue harping on it.

One has to wonder if he would feel this way had Jay’s Yankee Stadium shows flopped. They were a massive success, and now, Ak is backing down. The timing couldn’t be more eyebrow raising.

Boosie Badazz Says He’s Suing Jack Burkman & Jacob Wohl For $10M Over Pardon Scandal https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002213-boosie-badazz-10m-lawsuit-jack-burkman-jacob-wohl-presidential-pardon Thu, 16 Jul 2026 13:31:51 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002213 Boosie Badazz is taking action against the two people who he allegedly paid to help him get a pardon.

Boosie Badazz is taking new measures after losing six figures in an attempt to get a pardon in a federal gun case. The rapper shared a statement earlier this week revealing how he spent $600K in an attempt to get a presidential pardon from Donald Trump in his federal gun case. However, the way he went about it sounded like a scam. He said he paid Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, who Wikipedia describes as both far-right conspiracy theorists and fraudsters, to help him reach out to the president.

Unfortunately, none of it panned out for him, and he’s been scrambling to get his money back. After calling out everyone and anyone that was even tangentially involved in his case, Akademiks tried to clear the air on whether Boosie Badazz tried to pay for a bribe.

“Boosie didn’t pay for a bribe he paid a lobbyist group to try to get him a pardon. Unfortunately for him legally they couldnt guarantee him favorable results. Def not getting back the whole $600k but if that retainer agreement I saw is real he has a case for $300k back,” Ak wrote.

In response, Boosie revealed that he’s filing a federal lawsuit against both Wohl and Burkman for $10M.

The White House Response To Boosie Badazz’s Claims

A representative for the White House basically said that they don’t endorse either Wohl or Burkman, and that trying to seek clemency through them “will actively harm their chances,” per Loren Lorosa. However, the White House did confirm that they received documents from Maghan Blanco regarding Boosie, but receipts aren’t an indication of any deciding factor related to clemency. They also said that they never heard from Wohl or Burkman, nor do they “support their work, and would advise anyone seeking clemency that their involvement will actively harm their chances.” Finally, Trump allegedly finds it “detestable” that anyone profits from pardons.

Drake is feeling good these days thanks to the success of his newest albums, ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR. Some fans are waiting for him to go on tour, although for now, he is simply chilling and doing his thing.

While the artist has mostly been quiet as far as public appearances go, he did make a cameo at Streamer University on Wednesday. Yesterday was orientation for Kai Cenat’s school, and it was here that the students got to meet their professors and get shown their dorm rooms.

During the orientation, Drake delivered a special video message, which came as a huge surprise. It was here that Drake revealed a care package would be waiting for all of the students in their dorm rooms. This led to a massive cheer in the audience. It just goes to show that Drake still moves the needle.

Drake’s Streamer University Cameo

On stream, Madi2Hottyy showed off the care package. It included some NOCTA Nike gear, as well as a bottle of Drake’s latest cologne. Madi2Hottyy didn’t seem overly impressed with the gifts, although we imagine this reaction was simply a charade for the cameras.

What we do know is that Streamer University is going to be a massive event for Twitch. Kai Cenat took a long hiatus from the streaming world, and this is his big comeback. There are dozens of students, and some big names teaching the classes.

Since leaving Twitch, streamers like Jynxzi, CaseOh, and even Hasan Piker have found themselves at the top of the subscriber charts. However, Kai could very well reclaim his rightful place at the top when all is said and done.

Dame Dash Claims Jay-Z Is Nowhere Near The Same Level As Kanye West https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002202-dame-dash-jay-z-kanye-west-comparison Thu, 16 Jul 2026 12:23:36 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002202 Dame Dash continues to hate on Jay-Z following his three successful shows at Yankee Stadium from over the weekend.

The post Dame Dash Claims Jay-Z Is Nowhere Near The Same Level As Kanye West appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Dame Dash has become one of the most efficient haters in the game as of late. He wastes no time getting into The Art of Dialogue interview chair, especially when it pertains to matters involving Jay-Z.

Of course, Jay-Z had a pretty successful weekend, breaking numerous records during his three shows at Yankee Stadium. Fans of the legendary artist were excited about these performances, especially with all of the guests who came out to support. It was a great moment for hip-hop, and it feels as though Jay has an album on the horizon.

However, Dame Dash was not impressed. As we reported yesterday, Hov’s former business partner found a way to hate on Beyoncé and Nas’s appearance. Now, Dame is claiming that Jay-Z’s performances had no real impact on popular culture.

Dame Dash Criticizes Jay-Z

In the latest clip from his interview with The Art of Dialogue, Dame Dash argues that only “urban” outlets were covering the Jay-Z shows. He says the New York Times and even TMZ didn’t care to report on what was going on at Yankee Stadium. These claims from Dame Dash are demonstrably false, as the New York Times published a glowing review of all three shows.

That didn’t stop Dame from pushing the envelope in his criticisms. He eventually said that Jay-Z can’t even compare himself to Kanye West. “Jay is not in the same league as Kanye,” he said.

While Kanye West is on a bit of a World Tour right now, it’s clear that his shows are not as culturally relevant as what Jay did at Yankee Stadium. Ye stans and Jay haters probably don’t want to hear that, but this past weekend was living proof.
