The conspiracy theories surrounding Roc Nation might have finally manifested into an actual threat. Desiree Perez, the CEO of Roc Nation was allegedly confronted by a man outside the company’s Manhattan offices after a series of threats directed at the longtime music executive, according to the New York Post.

The latest incident reportedly occurred Monday evening near Roc Nation’s Chelsea headquarters. A rep for Perez told police that a man approached Perez around 7:30 p.m. and allegedly made a death threat during the confrontation. “You are going to die,” he reportedly said.

Apparently, this wasn’t the first time Perez had dealt with this individual. Authorities believe the encounter may be connected to a broader pattern of harassment. According to the sources, the same individual has reportedly appeared near the company’s offices on several occasions since May, allegedly making threatening statements about Perez.

Stalker Threatens Desiree Perez

The threats have also extended beyond in-person encounters. Social media posts and song lyrics attributed to the suspect have reportedly contained hostile messages aimed at Perez and Roc Nation.

Police have tentatively identified the man as an unhoused person familiar in Manhattan and The Bronx. They are still trying to find the man to question him over the accusations. However, the investigation remains on going and no arrest have been made just yet. 

Desiree Perez has played a pivotal role in Roc Nation’s success over the years. In 2019, she took over as the CEO of the company and helped expanded it beyond just music management. Her role has included helping establish the partnership between the NFL and Roc Nation and their efforts for the Super Bowl Half Time Show. As a result, Perez became the first executive producer to receive an Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live). We will keep you posted on any further updates on th situation.

Biggie’s Former Manager Secures Share Of Rapper’s Catalog Profits In Estate Dispute https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005593-biggie-former-manager-catalog-profits-estate-dispute Wed, 12 Aug 2026 15:50:33 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005593 Faith Evans is required to release the funds that have been withheld.

The post Biggie’s Former Manager Secures Share Of Rapper’s Catalog Profits In Estate Dispute appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
There’s finally a resolution in a long-standing case surrounding Biggie’s catalog in a dispute between the late rapper’s estate and his former manager Wayne Barrow. A Delaware court sided with Barrow in the conflict over money generated by Biggie’s catalog. 

Per Rolling Stone, Delaware Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick ruled that Barrow is entitled to receive her 25% share of profits from the catalog partnership with Primary Wave. Barrow serves as executor of Voletta Wallace’s estate and trustee of her trust, and the proceeds are ultimately designated for the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation.

The ruling also requires Biggie’s widow, Faith Evans, who also serves as a co-owner of Notorious B.I.G. LLC, to release funds that had been withheld. The court affirmed Barrow’s 50% membership interest in the company’s intellectual-property portfolio, alongside his entitlement to the distribution rights connected to Voletta’s estate.

The conflict stems from how Biggie’s business interests were structured following his 1997 death. Voletta Wallace and Evans established Notorious B.I.G. LLC to oversee the rapper’s intellectual property, with distribution interests ultimately divided among Voletta, Evans, and Biggie’s children, Ty’anna and CJ Wallace.

The catalog became even more valuable after Primary Wave entered into a partnership involving Biggie’s music and certain name, image, and likeness rights. The transaction, completed in 2025, was initially reported at approximately $100 million, though its value has since been estimated at considerably more.

Barrow sued Evans last year, alleging that proceeds were distributed to Biggie’s children while Voletta’s share was withheld. His legal team characterized the Delaware decision as a major victory.

However, the broader estate battle is far from settled. CJ Wallace filed a separate lawsuit in Pennsylvania earlier this year, in which he accuses Barrow of improperly obtaining greater control over Voletta’s estate shortly before her death. The case remains pending. We will keep you posted on any further updates.

Jaden Newman & Julian Newman Address Sex Tape Leak With Adam22 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005596-jaden-newman-julian-newman-adam22-sex-tape Wed, 12 Aug 2026 15:37:48 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005596 Jaden Newman's sex tape leak has gone viral over the past week, and her brother Julian Newman continues to get involved.

Jaden Newman went viral just a couple of weeks ago after an unfortunate sex tape leak. She is not the first person to have this happen this year. Of course, people like Daphne Joy, Ari Fletcher, and ilykimchi have all been subjected to this. Even streams Tbvnks was a victim a few weeks back.

In the aftermath of this leak, Jaden’s brother Julian found himself in the news cycle. Julian Newman is a former child prodigy basketball player who fizzled out during high school. He has become a personality of sorts on social media, and he found himself in the middle of the situation.

His commentary went viral all over social media, with some suggesting that he was saying a bit too much considering the fact that his sister is the one involved.

On Tuesday evening, Jaden and Julian did themselves very few favors, as they sat down with Adam22 of No Jumper to discuss the leaks and everything going on in their lives.

Jaden Newman Sits Down With No Jumper

During this conversation, Jaden Newman noted that the leak was, in fact, a privacy violation. However, after a conversation with her parents, she decided to just take it all in stride and take advantage of the situation.

Meanwhile, Julian continuously made references to OnlyFans. At one point, he even suggested that his sister should just start one. He even said that he tried to convince her to make one when she was 18. For a brother, this is a truly bizarre admission.

The Newman siblings are keeping the media attention going, and they are showing no signs of slowing down.

NBA YoungBoy has found himself at odds with his own mother. During an interview on Open Thoughts with Funny Marco, YoungBoy revealed how he and his mom are not on speaking terms.

He claimed that she has been a source of anger in his life. Furthermore, he has no plans to ever speak to her again. It was a harsh statement, and one that YoungBoy’s mother saw on her timeline.

YoungBoy’s mom subsequently issued a reply on social media. Sherhonda Gaulden went on her own social media pages and aimed at her son. It was here that she stated how YoungBoy is lying.

She also said that she doesn’t really care if they ever speak again. Instead, she would just rather her son stop allegedly lying. It was a strong statement, and one that caught YoungBoy’s attention.

In fact, YoungBoy went on Instagram live with Funny Marco, where he issued a response to his mother. As you can imagine, it wasn’t exactly a nice response.

NBA YoungBoy Continues

Throughout the clip, YoungBoy uses some ableist language against his mother before calling her a “stupid h*e” multiple times. Clearly, he was upset, and that anger was present in the live stream.

This comes after YoungBoy revealed to the world that he is currently living in South Korea, far away from the United States. In fact, the artist has made it clear that he no longer wants to live in North America, and will not be moving back.

The artist is going through quite a bit right now, and with his recent heart issues, he has made it clear that only one more album is on the way.

Reggie Wright Jr. Rejects Connection To Tupac Murder Case As Keefe D Trial Begins https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005582-reggie-wright-jr-tupac-murder-case-connection Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:45:59 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005582 Reggie Wright Jr. recalls meeting Keefe D.

The post Reggie Wright Jr. Rejects Connection To Tupac Murder Case As Keefe D Trial Begins appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The trial of Keefe D is underway in Las Vegas, and it feels as though we’re close to seeing a resolution in one of America’s longest-running cold cases. However, that doesn’t mean that certain theories aren’t still floating around. Former Death Row Records security chief Reggie Wright Jr. is pushing back against renewed allegations that he helped arrange Tupac Shakur’s killing.

Per All Hip-Hop, Wright says the accusations, which have circulated for years, are unsupported and insists he had no role in the September 1996 shooting. He also disputes suggestions that he and Davis shared a longstanding relationship. According to Wright, although he was familiar with Davis’s name during his years in law enforcement, the two did not actually meet until much later, when they encountered one another outside a Southern California grocery store

“He walked up and said, ‘Hey, little Reg, you know who I am?’ And I looked at him and pretty much said, ‘Oh.’ And he introduced himself as Keefe D from Compton Southside, and I laughed. It was funny to me. I asked him, ‘They still allow you to claim Compton knowing that all the allegations and the snitching that he had done?’ He was pretty much talking, running his mouth while he was in jail then,” Wright told TMZ.

Reggie Wright Jr. Conspiracy Theories

Wright also says he was not present at the MGM Grand on the night Tupac and Death Row founder Marion “Suge” Knight became involved in a confrontation with Orlando Anderson, Davis’s nephew, which has been viewed as a central catalyst to the drive-by shooting. 

The allegations against Wright gained traction through the theories of former LAPD detective Russell Poole, who investigated the case and argued that individuals connected to Death Row may have played a role. Wright points out that, despite the speculation, he has never been charged by law enforcement in connection with Tupac’s death. We will keep you posted on further updates.

Yung Lean is an artist who burst onto the scene over a decade ago. He came through with unique visuals and a sound that was foreign to a lot of listeners. Eventually, he built the trust of his listeners and became a frequent collaborator of hip-hop titans like Travis Scott. On Wednesday, he returned with a new single, albeit of a different variety. This time around, Yung Lean delivered a stripped-down rendition of Robyn’s song, “Robotboy.” It’s a cool and interesting cover that we believe longtime fans of the Swedish artist will enjoy.

Jhené Aiko and Larry June are officially a couple. This was confirmed on Tuesday as the pair released the music video to their latest collaboration, “California Dream,” off June’s new album.

The two had been keeping this blossoming romance under wraps. It had mostly gone under the radar. However, they are no longer hiding their affections for one another. Instead, they are showcasing their love in one of the most public ways possible.

Of course, Aiko was previously with Big Sean. Their relationship lasted years, although it ended recently as the two began to grow apart. That said, her new relationship with Larry June is garnering numerous reactions online, and it is easy to see why that would be the case.

Larry June & Jhené Aiko Are Together

Big Sean collaborated with Larry June a few years ago, when June wasn’t as big as he is now. Some fans on social media are now using this to say loyalty doesn’t exist anymore. There seems to be this prevailing notion that because June knows Big Sean artistically, he shouldn’t be dating Aiko at all.

Social Media Reacts

The reactions on social media have been particularly strong this morning, and they likely won’t be stopping anytime soon. Music listeners love weighing in on this kind of stuff, even if it is not their business.

No one actually knows the dynamics between any of these individuals. People don’t know the conversations that are had behind the scenes. With that in mind, it seems foolish to go out and claim that this relationship is a betrayal of any sort.

Regardless, you can find some of the reactions to the news, below.
