Charlamagne Tha God has never been out of ideas when it comes to criticisms of Drake, although he also gives him props whenever he feels he deserves it. While he found the backlash to the 6ix God’s recent livestream to be “stupid,” he did partially agree with these fans by criticizing his choice to choose goth Internet personality Pinkchyu as his winner for his 20v1 speed dating segment.

Charlamagne made these remarks during his latest Brilliant Idiots episode (specifically at the 10-minute mark of the YouTube video below). Loren LoRosa filled in for Andrew Schulz.

Tha God praised Drizzy’s charity efforts, but had harsh words for him barking at Pinkchyu and choosing her as the winner. “Stuff like that just reminds me how white Drake is,” he remarked. “Why are you attracted to the goth girl? Why are you barking at the Hot Topic chick?”

LoRosa stepped in to push back on this, as the goth Internet personality doesn’t deserve the hate. “I ain’t never seen someone get bricked up over Wednesday Addams,” Charlamagne added. The cohosts also discussed the Toronto superstar’s pop stardom and crossover appeal, saying he could get into his acting bag and defending his charity as something out of the goodness of his heart, not a cynical “trick.”

Drake & Pinkchyu

For those unaware, the OVO mogul told Pinkchyu he would buy her mother a house at her request. It was a very sweet moment during the 20v1, making for one of the most wholesome developments of the livestream.

Elsewhere, though, Charlamagne Tha God and Drake have been at odds thanks to the former’s media conflict with the latter’s fan, DJ Akademiks. Ak has been accusing Charlamagne and others of being puppets for Roc Nation, and they have hashed out their issues multiple times now.

Meanwhile, hip-hop media still has Drake at the top of their minds. During a new episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Budden encouraged The Boy to drop a Jay-Z diss track and take the feud to the next level. We’ll see if that happens. But in any case, questions around Drake and debates about his public image will continue to be messy.

Peace Sign – Song by MARCO PLUS https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006102-peace-sign-marco-plus Sun, 16 Aug 2026 15:48:48 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006102 "Peace Sign" by MARCO PLUS is yet another warm and dexterous track from the Florida native that leaves no room for filler.

MARCO PLUS had a very prolific 2025, and a less busy 2026 hasn’t resulted in a lack of quality. “Peace Sign” is the Florida native’s latest single, and it’s another warm and skillful cut from him. Unsurprisingly, he shows off a lot of charisma and playfulness when talking about dismissing disses, upgrading his lifestyle, and choosing confident peace over conflict whenever possible. Ovrkast. and Charlie Phillips crafted a gorgeous beat to pair with these bars, with beautiful guitar and bass licks creating a pillowy atmosphere for crisp drums and string embellishments. Hopefully MARCO PLUS has even more on the way this year, as he’s an incredibly consistent force in hip-hop today.

Release Date: August 13, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Peace Sign

Swerve in the AMG, it used to be the Nissan,
The outside ketchup, the inside dijon,
This not GTA, I pop it, you won’t respawn,
Can’t respect the disses, if you drop it, I won’t rеspond

Julian Newman Slams Jeff Teague’s Commentary On Sister Jaden’s Leaks https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006098-julian-newman-jeff-teague-sister-jaden-leaks Sun, 16 Aug 2026 15:36:47 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006098 Julian Newman wants the smoke with Jeff Teague and his podcast cohosts for how they criticized his sister Jaden's leaks and his father Jamie.

The post Julian Newman Slams Jeff Teague’s Commentary On Sister Jaden’s Leaks appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Jeff Teague and his Club 520 podcast are known for their hot takes and often provocative conversations about sports, pop culture, and much more. As such, it’s no surprise their commentary on Jaden Newman’s explicit leaks ruffled some feathers. Most significantly, her brother Julian Newman took to social media to blast the pod for their commentary, which also included criticism of their father Jamie.

NBA Hoops caught Club 520‘s discussion and Julian’s call-out on Twitter. The podcast talked about the Newman siblings talking about the leaks with Adam22, with one of the hosts saying, “God bless the Newman family.” Then, host BHen asked if they’re grown now, wondering what happened to their father Jamie. He asked if the father of the former basketball prodigies is still coaching. BHen posited the family must be “torn up” if this is what the siblings are doing.

As for Julian Newman’s response, he was directly confrontational. “Jeff Teague’s sorry-a** podcast… What’s it called, 520 or something? First of all, who listens to that s**t? For one,” he remarked. “Second of all, you over here clowning Pops working me out when I’m ten years old, on some advanced s**t. And that’s the number one training video of all time. It got 20-something million views. You done worked out to it, no cap. F**k is you talking about?

Julian Newman Blasts Jeff Teague

“Who the fat dude on there, too?” Newman continued. “Little fat-a** n***a always running his mouth. Talking about, ‘Oh, his sister know how to dribble.’ You a clown. When she was a young girl, you was sexualizing her. You weird as hell. Get some p***y in real life. Bro on Twitter looking for Jaden Newman. Bro’s a clown, on my mama… Wait until I see you in person. Someone call me this fat-a**’s name. Boy’s a clown.”

Jaden Newman’s father Jamie played into the drama, recording a video with her and Adam22 that recreated a viral moment between her and LaMelo Ball years ago. Also, Julian Newman’s comments on his sister’s viral moment have turned a lot of heads. We’ll see if Jeff Teague and company respond.

Tyla Allegedly Responds To Cheating Rumor About Her & A$AP Rocky https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006094-tyla-allegedly-responds-cheating-rumor-asap-rocky Sun, 16 Aug 2026 15:12:15 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006094 Fans have been debating over Tyla wearing jewelry items made for A$AP Rocky, with some folks dragging Rihanna into the mix.

The post Tyla Allegedly Responds To Cheating Rumor About Her & A$AP Rocky appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Tyla is celebrating the release of her new album A*POP despite some gossip around her name these days. On social media platforms like TikTok, rumors have been spreading concerning cheating allegations concerning her, A$AP Rocky, and Rihanna, which she may have responded to online.

“Imma leave every rumor to rock from now on,” the singer allegedly wrote on her Instagram Story earlier this week. “Have fun yall. #APOP.” While there isn’t any explicit confirmation of what this means, fans connected the dots and theorized it may have to do with the rumors surrounding her and the celebrity couple.

For those unaware, this all stems from the South African artist wearing jewelry that Verdy made for Rocky, which may have been when she went to Japan. The Drip Instagram page had covered this months ago, but TikTok videos have gone viral claiming this suggests cheating. Folks also included pictures of the Harlem rapper wearing the pieces.

Also, this is notable due to previous viral stories regarding Tyla and Rihanna. Some fans believe the former is playing into accusations that she’s biting the latter’s style or replacing her, although this is just social media speculation.

Tyla’s Met Gala Moment With Rihanna

The two had an awkward moment at the Met Gala earlier this year, in which the Johannesburg native tried to talk to the Barbadian star to poor results. “I met her. But I think she was occupied,” Tyla said of the moment later. “I went up to her and was like, ‘Oh, hey,’ you know? And she was like, ‘Hey, um… my baby daddy’s calling me,’ and then she left. I was like, ‘Oop!'”

Tyla has addressed other viral moments before, some to sympathetic results and others in ways that fans felt she should’ve kept to herself. Still, it’s only up to her to decide when to speak out, and how. The singer addressed her spat with Yung Miami recently, claiming she didn’t steal “Chanel” from her and showing the former City Girl love.

As for the couple in question here, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are doing just fine, and probably have nothing to say about these rumors beyond simple denial. In this situation, it seems like a jewelry misinterpretation led to more drama than it warranted… If Tyla really did respond to this rumor, that is.

Latto Walks Claressa Shields Out After Shields Dissed Remy Ma https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006090-latto-walks-claressa-shields-out-dissed-remy-ma Sun, 16 Aug 2026 14:42:05 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006090 Latto's appearance at the Claressa Shields and Kaye Scott fight came amid comparisons between them and Claressa's beef with Remy Ma.

The post Latto Walks Claressa Shields Out After Shields Dissed Remy Ma appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Claressa Shields emerged victorious last night (Saturday, August 15) in her boxing match against Kaye Scott in Atlanta. She won via sixth-round TKO, thus getting her the WBA and WBC unified middleweight world championship. Latto walked the GWOAT out for her fight, and this arrived amid viral comparisons between them. But the real story simmering beneath all of this is escalating beef with Remy Ma, which Claressa and her boo Papoose have been dealing with for a while.

The Shade Room on Instagram caught the video of Big Mama performing at State Farm Arena alongside the boxer and Pap, whereas Livebitez caught Shields’ curious Facebook message before the fight. A fan had asked her what she’s drinking tonight, which she responded to cheekily: “Anything BUT REMY, I’m thinking 1942!!!”

Livebitez also caught the femcee’s recent IG Story post which contributed to their beef heating up. Remy Ma’s new Claressa Shields and Papoose-dissing track “Wanna Go” isn’t super direct, but fans read between the lines. It looks like the music video will also contribute to this. Remy teased the video’s inclusion of Alycia Baumgardner and Amanda Serrano, two female boxers who have clashed with Shields before. Also, Ma allegedly played the video and track outside of State Farm Arena last night to coincide with the fight and play some mind games.

Remy Ma & Claressa Shields Beef

For those unaware, Remy Ma and Claressa Shields’ beef stems from the latter dating Papoose amid his contentious divorce process with the former. Cheating allegations surfaced, many social media clashes ensued, and it’s clear the two are still trolling each other and trying to come out on top.

While Claressa walked away with bragging rights last night, maybe Remy has a hit on her hands. Either way, it seems like neither is in a position to fully silence the other.

Elsewhere, the recently viral Latto and Claressa Shields comparison came courtesy of Charleston White last week. He claimed colorism while blasting fans defending the former’s relationship with 21 Savage while scrutinizing Shields’ romance with Pap. The Atlanta artist actually blasted White in response, and he offered an apology while flexing his conversation-sparking ability.

Ray J Gets A Win Over Orlando Brown After Fans Clowned The Boxing Match https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006086-ray-j-win-orlando-brown-fans-clowned-boxing-match Sun, 16 Aug 2026 13:39:31 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006086 By the time Ray J won by unanimous decision against Orlando Brown, fans were reacting with disbelief to their chaotic tussle on social media.

Ray J has finally gotten his redemption after losing to Supa Hot Fire via knockout in a boxing match earlier this year. Last night (Saturday, August 15) he emerged victorious from his fight with Orlando Brown by unanimous decision. From how fans and folks in the crowd reacted, though, it’s clear they weren’t very impressed with either competitor. But regardless, a win is a win.

Ray and Brown faced off for three rounds at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. They were the headlining matchup on Zeus Network’s undercard for the Claressa Shields and Kaye Scott fight, and fans definitely got a lot of entertainment out of it.

In clips caught on Twitter, fans expressed disbelief at their lack of form and chaotic movements while they swung at each other. Orlando in particular caught some jokes, and clips show folks like Floyd Mayweather and Terence Crawford reacting with confusion to the fight.

Floyd, Crawford, and Shakur Stevenson congratulated the singer after his victory. We’ll see if the two competitors speak out about the matchup soon, whether about fans’ reactions or the fight itself.

Orlando Brown & Ray J Fight

For those unaware, Ray J and Orlando Brown have history together, as the two have called each other out on the Internet various times in the past. For example, Orlando once claimed Ray made him smoke weed as a teen, and he has often referred to Ray only as “Brandy’s brother.”

Elsewhere, Big Lex beat Tesehki by unanimous decision on the Shields-Scott undercard. As for that main matchup, Claressa emerged victorious via sixth-round TKO.

But this Orlando Brown matchup drew particular interest due to Ray J’s recent health complications. He was hospitalized after the Supa Hot Fire loss, which exacerbated his heart problems and led to fans wishing him well.

Still, Ray was very happy to win this fight, and it seems like he wants to get in the ring again. Hopefully he is able to do so without further risking his health, as fans have expressed a lot of concern. In any case, the Orlando Brown match had fans rolling, but at least they gave it their all.

Night Lovell is going to be dropping his new album My Blood As The Ink soon, and fans are excited. The Canadian artist has always been known for his dark-sounding tracks, and based on the title of this new album, it seems clear that the artist is ready to get in his bag. On Friday, he offered up the new single “Sick & Tired,” and the artist is firing on all cylinders. Throughout the track, we get Lovell entering that lower register he is known for. Meanwhile, there is a visual connected with the track, in which Lovell can be seen covered in blood.

Release Date: August 14, 2026

Genre: Hip-hop

Album: My Blood As The Ink

Quotable Lyrics from Sick & Tired

Back then I was told (I), I was tryna blend in

Luckily I went through some fucked up shit, I stopped pretending
If anybody’s listening, I might teach you a lesson

Air Jordan 4 “Bloodline” Mockups Surface Ahead Of 2027 Release https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1006082-air-jordan-4-bloodline-sneaker-news Sun, 16 Aug 2026 02:58:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1006082 Mockup images of the Air Jordan 4 "Bloodline" have surfaced, giving an early look ahead of its April 2027 release.

The post Air Jordan 4 “Bloodline” Mockups Surface Ahead Of 2027 Release appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Mockup images of the Air Jordan 4 “Bloodline” have surfaced, per zSneakerHeadz, giving fans an early look ahead of its April 24, 2027 release. Pricing is set at $230, marking the first time this theme has landed on the model.

Black leather covers most of the upper, joined by matching mesh panels, wings, tongue, and heel. White laces cut through the darker base and tie into the midsole, keeping the overall look clean despite the mostly black build. Red accents round out the design, hitting small details throughout the shoe.

The “Bloodline” name isn’t new to Jordan Brand. It first appeared back in 2015 on the Air Jordan XX9, later showing up on the Air Jordan 1 High OG and, more recently, the Air Jordan 12. This marks the theme’s first appearance on the Air Jordan 4 specifically.

This will be a general release, available through SNKRS, Foot Locker, Finish Line, Hibbett, and Shiekh. With over a year still to go before launch, more official images should follow as Jordan Brand gets closer to release.

Air Jordan 4 “Bloodline”

The “Bloodline” theme has picked up an unofficial connection to WWE over the years, largely due to Roman Reigns and his wrestling faction of the same name. Despite that association, Jordan Brand has never confirmed any formal collaboration tied to the name.

That hasn’t stopped the brand from leaning into the crossover slightly. Jordan Brand gifted Reigns a pair of the Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline” around that shoe’s release, keeping the connection alive in the public eye even without an official partnership.

Bringing the theme to the Air Jordan 4 puts it on one of Jordan Brand’s most popular models yet. Given how well past “Bloodline” releases have performed, expect plenty of attention once official images and confirmed details start rolling out.

For now, these mockups offer the clearest look at what to expect, even with the full release still more than a year away.

The post A Rare In-Hand Look At The Virgil Abloh Archive AF1 “Pine Green” Surfaces appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A new in-hand look has surfaced of the Virgil Abloh Archives x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Pine Green,” and it’s about as rare as sneakers get. Only 150 pairs were ever made, keeping this one firmly out of reach for most collectors.

The shoe first debuted at “Virgil Abloh: The Codes,” an exhibition in Paris honoring the late designer’s creative legacy. Deep pine green leather covers the upper, paired with a metallic silver Swoosh that gives the shoe an unfinished, DIY-style look.

An orange tab sits below the laces, while “AIR” appears in quotation marks along the midsole, both signature touches from Abloh’s design language.

This release also marks a shift in branding. Instead of the usual Off-White text seen across Abloh’s past Nike collaborations, this pair carries “V.A.A. Codes” lettering on the zip tie, tied directly to the Virgil Abloh Archive name.

With production capped at just 150 pairs, this was never meant for public release. It stayed reserved for friends and family connected to the exhibition, making any in-hand footage a rare treat for fans who’ll likely never own one themselves.

Virgil Abloh Archive x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Pine Green”

This pair represents more than just another green Air Force 1. It signals a deliberate shift away from the Off-White name toward a more archival approach under the Virgil Abloh Archive banner.

That distinction matters given how much history sits behind Abloh’s work with Nike. His Off- White collaborations reshaped modern sneaker culture, and this release shows his creative estate is charting its own path forward, separate from that original label.

Interest in the pair has been high since it first surfaced last year. StockX even ran a giveaway offering fans a rare shot at owning one, given how unlikely a retail release seems.

Whether “Pine Green” or any other Virgil Abloh Archive design eventually gets a wider release remains unclear. For now, this in-hand look is as close as most collectors will ever get.

Papoose can’t get enough of his boo Claressa Shields, even if their proclamations of love for one another often get some clowning on social media. There are a lot of factors to this, whether it’s people just hating on a flashy couple or Remy Ma fans invested in the relationship drama. Either way, Pap’s latest move shows he isn’t shy about making that love very clear, as he will now carry Shields’ name everywhere he goes.

He posted a video on Instagram soundtracked by Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” of him getting a tattoo of “Claressa” on his left bicep. “Salute to @Kwon.doe for bringing this amazing art to life. @claressashields #papoose #tattoo #ínklífe,” the caption read. The video also showed the rapper taking a picture of his new ink, presumably to send to his partner.

Claressa Shields is gearing up for a fight tonight (Saturday, August 15), so she’s probably too busy to respond to this right now. At press time, she hasn’t reposted this on IG, but we’re sure it will be solid fuel for her rapidly approaching matchup.

What Time Is Claressa Shields’ Fight Tonight?

Shields will face off against Kaye Scott tonight for the WBA and WBC unified middleweight world championship at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. DAZN will livestream the event, with the main card beginning at 8PM EST. Folks expect main event ring walks to begin at around 11:30PM EST.

Claressa has her boo’s full support, whether in terms of energy or physical presence. Many folks reacted to this tattoo news by bringing up his tattoo of Remy. Amid Remy Ma’s ongoing divorce process with Papoose, folks are taking every little piece of drama they can get.

Speaking of which, Remy Ma may have dissed Papoose and Claressa Shields on her new song “Wanna Go.” It has lyrical references to “hand-me-downs” and a possible reference to the derogatory “Clarence” nickname Shields has gotten.

In any case, this couple knows all too well that love and hate their way only means more engagement. So as long as they support each other, they can continue to deal with scrutiny against their partnership.
