Following the tragic death of Takeoff, Quavo and Offset were left devastated. At the time, the two were not on speaking terms; however, the death of their best friend brought everyone back together.

Since that time, Offset and Quavo have mostly focused on their solo careers. In fact, Offset has had some huge albums in the last few years, while Quavo has also delivered some projects and some big singles to boot.

Quavo is set to drop a new album soon, and he is going to be teaming up with legendary producer Pharrell. However, it appears as though Quavo has some other big plans waiting in the wings, and they involve Offset.

While being interviewed on DJ Greg Street’s V-103 show in Atlanta, Quavo revealed that a new Migos album is on the horizon, and there is even going to be a tour. “We’re gonna do it one more time… We’re gonna do it right, we’re gonna tour…” he said.

Quavo To Reunite With Offset

Without Takeoff, there will be some logistical hurdles. However, there are certainly some Takeoff verses in the vault that could be used for the album. We previously saw a photo of Quavo and Offset in the studio together, which furthers the notion that they’ve already been working on new music.

The Culture series remains beloved by fans, and a new entry would certainly excite fans who feel as though the genre has been stagnant as of late. We just hope that they do right by Takeoff and put out something he would be proud of.

You can watch Quavo’s entire interview with Greg Street down below. Let us know your expectations for a future Migos album in the comments section.

Kid Cudi Fires Back At M.I.A. Lawsuit By Invoking First Amendment https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009118-kid-cudi-first-amendment-mia-tour-lawsuit Thu, 10 Sep 2026 19:50:34 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009118 Kid Cudi responded to M.I.A's lawsuit.

The drama surrounding Kid Cudi’s last headlining tour continues to make headlines after the removal of M.I.A. and the subsequent lawsuit she filed against the Man On The Moon rapper. In response, Cudder said that his decision to remove her from the tour was protected by his constitutional right: the First Amendment.

Per TMZ, he said that the First Amendment protects his right to decide the political and artistic tone of his shows. M.I.A. previously accused him of unfairly firing her because of the political comments, even though she claims he was aware of where she stood politically in the first place. 

The lawsuit also alleges that Cudi’s decision led to a massive financial loss of $2.8M guaranteed from Live Nation, which Cudder said is a dispute she should resolve with Live Nation.

M.I.A. Sues Kid Cudi

Cudi booted her off the tour due to her on-stage commentary where she referenced voting Republican and then made offhand remarks. On X, she shared the transcript of her rant in which she said, “We can’t do ‘Illygal,’ though some of you could be in the audience.” She also noted how she and her team are also “illegal.” She also fired back at Cudi in a lengthy response defending herself.

 Ultimately, fans booed her from the stage as fans expressed their disappointment online after the fact and the controversy led Cudi to make an executive decision.

“M.I.A. is no longer on this tour. I told my management to send a notice to her team before we started tout that I didn’t want anything offensive at my shows, cz I already knew what time it as, and I was assured things were understood,” he said in a statement shared to Instagram. Cudi said that he received several messages from fans who were upset by her rants. “This, to me, is very disappointing and I won’t have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase.”

Kanye West Grosses $30 Million With Sold-Out Chicago Shows https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009109-kanye-west-gross-chicago-show-earnings Thu, 10 Sep 2026 19:14:50 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009109 Kanye West recently performed two shows in Chicago, and as it turns out, the artist made a ton of money from that endeavor.

Kanye West remains an incredibly controversial artist, and it is easy to see why. The artist went on various anti-semitic rants back in 2022, all while finding himself aligned with the likes of Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Charlie Kirk.

However, in recent months, Ye has apologized for his past behavior. Given the severity of West’s past, millions of fans have yet to forgive him. Some have even completely sworn off his music. That said, there are still those who prioritize the music and don’t seem to care about the things Ye says in his personal life. Even if some of those things do, in fact, bleed into the music (Ex: “HH”).

This past weekend, Ye found himself performing in Chicago as part of a pair of homecoming concerts at Soldier Field. Both shows were sold out, and they featured some major cameos from some of the biggest artists in hip-hop. It was a triumphant moment for Ye, even if some remain skeptical about his personal development.

In fact, according to Pollstar, 129,562 tickets were sold across the two nights. Moreover, Ye grossed $29.8 million with these shows. He even passed BeyoncĂ©’s record with a $15.76 million night during the second show.

Kanye West Runs His Numbers Up

These numbers prove that despite everything, Kanye can still bring fans out to his shows. This is especially true in Chicago, where he remains beloved by fans in his hometown.

The concert did elicit some conversation about whether or not it is ethical to go see Ye these days. His past controversies are far from behind him. After all, Hitler worship is one of those lines you simply cannot cross, regardless of your mental state.

Only time will tell whether or not Ye will be able to bring back more fans to his side.

JAƞ-Z Reportedly Takes A Major Loss Against Tony Buzbee  https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009110-jay-z-loses-tony-buzbee-appeal Thu, 10 Sep 2026 18:58:13 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009110 California appeals court upheld the dismissal of his lawsuit against attorney Tony Buzbee.

The post JAƞ-Z Reportedly Takes A Major Loss Against Tony Buzbee  appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
While JAƾ-Z’s celebrating milestone anniversaries of albums like The Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt across the world, he just took a loss in his case against Tony Buzbee in California. Per All Hip Hop, a California court upheld the dismissal of Hov’s lawsuit against Buzbee over claims of defamation, extortion, and emotional distress. This all stems from Buzbee’s lawsuit against JAƾ-Z on behalf of Jane Doe, accusing him and Diddy of raping a minor in 2000.

The ruling does not determine whether the sexual-assault allegations previously made against JAY were true or false. Instead, the court focused on whether Buzbee could be held legally responsible for communications he made while representing an alleged accuser and preparing for potential litigation.

JAY-Z filed his lawsuit in California in November 2024, accusing Buzbee of extortion and emotional distress. He later added a defamation claim. The rapper argued that Buzbee’s demand letters, media appearances, and other public statements amounted to an improper attempt to pressure him into paying money over allegations he firmly denied.

The dispute stemmed from a lawsuit filed by a woman identified as Jane Doe, who alleged that JAY-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually assaulted her when she was 13 following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Buzbee later amended the complaint to identify JAY-Z as the previously unnamed “Celebrity A.”

JAĆž-Z Takes Action Against Buzbee

Jane Doe ultimately dismissed her lawsuit with prejudice in February 2025. According to the appellate decision, the dismissal followed an agreement in which the rapper vowed not to harass or otherwise interact with her.

The California appeals court concluded that Buzbee’s earlier demand letters were protected communications associated with contemplated litigation. The judges also found that as a public figure, JAƾ-Z failed to establish the level of evidence necessary to prove that Buzbee knowingly or recklessly made false statements about him.

The court additionally declined to rely on a secretly recorded interview conducted with Jane Doe after the lawsuit was dismissed, finding evidentiary problems with the recording. JAY can still seek further review, including a petition to the California Supreme Court.

DJ Akademiks & Chud The Builder Go At It Amid Lil Durk Trial https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009104-dj-akademiks-chud-the-builder-lil-durk-trial Thu, 10 Sep 2026 18:33:16 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009104 Chud The Builder is back in the news as he recently went after DJ Akademiks for being upset about being mentioned in the Lil Durk trial.

The post DJ Akademiks & Chud The Builder Go At It Amid Lil Durk Trial appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
DJ Akademiks became a fixture in the Lil Durk trial this week as the prosecution used his “Off The Record” interview as alleged evidence. The prosecution believes Durk admitted to the murder-for-hire scheme when he remarked that he doesn’t hear the “slide for Von” comments anymore.

Ak was taken aback by all of this, and let his feelings be known on his livestream. The clip of him reacting to the courtroom scene went viral on social media, and it led to a response from racist streamer Chud The Builder.

When Chud The Builder was out and about calling people the N-word in public, Akademiks said that Chud would get his comeuppance. Once he got put in jail, Ak took a victory lap. Now, Chud The Builder is calling out Ak for his reaction to the Durk situation, saying that the commentator is a hypocrite.

“So N**ademiks thinks it’s cool to encourage the streets to harm me for saying a word,” Chud wrote. “However, when they come for him after interfering with the Durk investigation, now he’s scared.”

DJ Akademiks Claps Back

Akademiks did not wait long to clap back at the streamer. He said that he takes great pleasure in the fact that Chud The Builder got “caged up.”

“Lil boy last time u tweeted me next day u got locked up for months begging to get bail,” Akademiks said. “I along w everyone on here tricked u off the streets and ended ur streaming career. GG. Never forget I had ur clown ass chimping out then caged. Checkmate.”

Overall, Chud The Builder’s case is still not resolved. Although he did get bail, he is still facing an attempted murder charge. If convicted, he could face significant time in prison. Ultimately, it would be another potential victory lap for Akademiks, who has no love lost with Chud.

Star Delivers An Emotional Reflection After Buc Wild’s Passing https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009105-timothy-buc-wild-joseph-dead-star-reacts Thu, 10 Sep 2026 17:59:47 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009105 Timothy "Buc Wild" Joseph passed away at 47.

Hip-hop is mourning the loss of a crucial voice that became a staple in New York radio, Timothy “Buc Wild” Joseph, who died at 47. Alongside Troi “Star” Torain, Buc Wild co-hosted The Star & Buc Wild Show on Hot 97. The former Everyday Struggle host confirmed the news of Buc Wild’s passing on his livestream this week, revealing that his former co-host died in the Pink Houses apartment complex in Brooklyn on Sunday.

“… The passing of my son,” he said during his stream. “Most of you knew him as my alleged half-brother, but I raised him. He’s like a son to me.”

So far, there isn’t any confirmation of what the cause of death is. However, Star suggested that it could be drug-related. “Possible fentanyl. I don’t have a confirmation yet. However, Timothy Joseph aka Buc Wild, was loved. He had a support system. He and I were always in contact, but then again, it was tough to get a hold of him at times,” he said.

Star Reacts To Buc Wild’s Passing

Star explained how they had a unique relationship from the start where the friction between them on air contributed to the overall chemistry they shared. He also explained how the soft spot he developed for “people like [Buc Wild],” detailing how Joseph’s struggles with dyslexia was something he helped him overcome.

“Over the years, we were working with flashcards at Hot 97,” he said. “He tried to work on his reading over the years.”

At one point, Star evidently became more emotional while discussing his relationship with Buc Wild and also expressing appreciation for those who showed his co-host support over the years, too. Check out the full video above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Lil Durk Verdict: Jury Asks For Instructions Regarding Stalking Charges https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009094-lil-durk-verdict-stalking-charges Thu, 10 Sep 2026 17:29:54 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009094 A verdict in the Lil Durk case has yet to be revealed as the jury continues deliberate, with specific requests regarding the stalking charges.

The post Lil Durk Verdict: Jury Asks For Instructions Regarding Stalking Charges appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Lil Durk is still waiting for a verdict in his murder-for-hire trial. It has been 24 hours since the jury started deliberating, and they have yet to come to a conclusion on the five charges the artist is facing.

On Wednesday evening, the jury delivered a note to the court requesting digital evidence. Given the cumbersome nature of this process, it was stated that the jury would have to reconvene this morning, as that’s when the evidence would be available.

After just one hour of deliberation, another note was sent to the court. According to Meghann Cuniff, the note was not about a potential verdict. Instead, the jurors were looking for instructions pertaining to the two stalking charges. Those charges include conspiracy to commit stalking and stalking resulting in death.

Lil Durk Stalking Charges Under Review

The judge has provided the necessary instructions to the jurors, who have returned to their chambers for deliberation. At this time, it remains to be seen whether or not a verdict ends up coming down today.

However, the fact that the jury is hung up on the stalking charges suggests that the murder-for-hire charges could be decided by now. That is the most important charge of the entire case, as it is what could ultimately land Durk with a sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole.

Durk has two co-defendants in the case, including OTF Dede and Browneyez. They are facing similar life sentences if convicted.

Stay tuned to HNHH as we will continue to provide updates on this case and the impending jury verdict. Let us know how you feel about the case in the comments below.

DJ Akademiks Has A Drake-Related Warning For Kendrick Lamar https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009090-dj-akademiks-drake-kendrick-lamar-warning-the-game Thu, 10 Sep 2026 15:59:22 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009090 Kendrick Lamar could potentially have a verse on AZ Chike's album, and DJ Akademiks has a warning about the song's content.

The post DJ Akademiks Has A Drake-Related Warning For Kendrick Lamar appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

DJ Akademiks has been one of the loudest voices when it comes to the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. However, you probably know by now that he is far from unbiased in this matter. Instead, he is a staunch defender of Drake, even when the Canadian megastar makes questionable moves involving lawsuits.

Recently, it was suggested that Kendrick Lamar has a verse on the new AZ Chike album and that he is talking that talk. Akademiks spoke about this on his livestream while on a call with What’s The Dirt?

This subsequently led to a warning directed at K-Dot. Akademiks believes Lamar should sincerely reconsider dissing The Game and Drake on his upcoming verse. As he describes, Game isn’t someone you can diss and then just go about your business. Ak believes Lamar would need to remain active, as Game has a history of dissing people for a decade.

DJ Akademiks Speaks On Kendrick Lamar

Akademiks has already dubbed Lamar as “lazy” and doesn’t think the artist is ready to commit to a lengthy battle. Meanwhile, Akademiks doesn’t want to hear any Drake disses either, as the battle is over, and there are no more “round twos.”

The interesting thing about those comments is that Drake took shots at Kendrick all over ICEMAN, yet Ak had nothing to say about that. His commentary only goes one way, but given the OVO chain, this is to be expected.

Kendrick Lamar will have a new verse on JhenĂ© Aiko’s project, which drops tomorrow. From there, he will likely be on the AZ Chike album, which is great news for hip-hop fans. At the end of the day, we just want good music.
