Last night (April 6), Offset was shot outside a Florida casino. According to authorities, the shooting took place after a fight, and the former Migos member is now in stable condition at a local hospital. The circumstances surrounding the fight remain murky. This morning, however, it was reported that Lil Tjay was arrested. He was hit with charges of disorderly conduct and operating a vehicle without a valid license, but not with any charges directly related to the shooting.

His attorney, Dawn M. Florio, has since released a statement clearing up rumors that Lil Tjay was in any way involved in the shooting.

“We are issuing this release in regards to false rumors that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting which occurred at the Valet Area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood which resulting in non-life threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos,” she wrote. “Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false. We encourage people to consult trusted news sources, and to verify the accuracy of any reporting, before reflexively sharing or repeating baseless rumors.”

Offset & Lil Tjay Beef

It’s no secret that Lil Tjay and Offset have had issues in the past. At the beginning of last year, Lil Tjay accused Offset of owing him $10K and having a gambling addiction. This resulted in some heated back-and-forth on social media, and according to DJ Akademiks, some fiery DMs.

During a recent livestream, Ak revealed that he has a Lil Tjay interview coming out sometime in the near future. He claims that during the interview, he asked the 24-year-old what happened when he asked Offset to pay him back. Allegedly, the father of six was less than willing to do so.

“He said Offset DMd him and said, ‘N***a, get it back in blood,'” Akademiks explained, as seen in a clip shared by Akademiks TV. “That’s literally what he said, I swear.”

Isaiah Rashad has announced the release date for his next studio album, It’s Been Awful. Taking to social media on Tuesday morning, he shared a trailer for the project, which ends by confirming that fans will be able to hear the new music on May 1, 2026.

“It’s Been Awful” Tracklist

There is still no tracklist for It’s Been Awful. It will mark Rashad’s first studio album since dropping The House Is Burning back in 2021. That album featured appearances from Jay Rock, SZA, Lil Uzi Vert, Duke Deuce, Smino, 6lack, and more. It remains unclear with whom Rashad will be collaborating on the new effort.

Back in August of last year, Rashad spoke about what fans can expect from the project with Vice. “The biggest inspiration for me was Fousheé… Prince, I’ve been having ‘If I Was Your Girlfriend’ on repeat for 2-3 months. The, for this tail end part of my project, this girl PLUTO from Atlanta. She’s been inspiring me and this other girl BunnaB,” he said at the time. “I’m touching more [Outkast’s] Stankonia and The Love Below more than anything else. I would say Top made compromises for the creativity on this one, so I appreciate it.”

During the same interview, he hinted at wanting to perform alongside a live band for his next tour. “We did it in Europe on the last [tour.] I wish I could’ve did it the whole time. The first time I played with a band was with this guy Tony Royster Jr., one of Jay-Z’s drummers. That was the coldest drummer I’ve ever seen, the first time I ever did something like that,” he said.

More recently, he described It’s Been Awful as his “best body of work” in an Instagram message from a group chat with his fans. At the time, he had yet to give the project an official title or release date.

Ebro reacted to the news that Offset was shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida on Monday during the latest episode of The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show. In doing so, he claimed that the Migos rapper owes him $5,000 for a bet they made on the Super Bowl.

“He owes me $5,000. He does,” Ebro remarks in one clip. As people in the studio groan, he adds: “Offset’s fine. I tried to call him last night. We bet on the Super Bowl in New Orleans. I bet $5,000. I was prepared to pay him $5,000. I’ve talked to him a thousand times since then and never jammed him up about $5,000 because clearly, he’s somebody who didn’t pay his bet. Like, why am I gonna chase you around about five grand? It’s not a big deal to me.”

From there, he explained that if he isn’t worried about $5,000, he doesn’t believe Tjay would be worried about Offset owing him money. “I don’t think Tjay’s got more money than I’ve got. I don’t think it would be over $10,000. Me and Offset are in a good enough situation where I don’t need to stress. It wasn’t a loan. We made a bet.”

Lil Tjay’s Arrest

Further details on the shooting remain unclear, but Ebro isn’t the first one to report that Offset is doing okay. His spokesperson told TMZ after the shooting that the rapper is “fine” and “is currently at the hospital receiving medical care.”

Authorities have arrested Lil Tjay in connection with the incident, charging him with misdemeanor disorderly conduct-affray. They allege he was involved in a fight before the shooting. They held him on a $500 bond.

On Tuesday morning, Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn Florio, shut down rumors that his client was responsible for the shooting. “Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false,” she told TMZ.

Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg Rocks Two Air Jordan 11s In National Title Win https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/987908-michigan-yaxel-lendeborg-air-jordan-11-sneaker-news Tue, 07 Apr 2026 15:18:39 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=987908 Michigan's Yaxel Lendeborg rocked a custom Air Jordan 11 and the "Cool Grey" colorway during the Wolverines' 2026 NCAA Championship.

Michigan just won its first national title since 1989. The Wolverines beat UConn 69-63 to claim the 2026 NCAA men’s basketball championship. And star forward Yaxel Lendeborg showed up to the biggest game of his life with two pairs of Air Jordan 11s.

Lendeborg brought out a custom Michigan-themed Air Jordan 11 “Rare Air” and the classic AJ 11 “Cool Grey.” The custom pair leaned into Wolverines colors: navy blue upper, yellow outsole, and white laces. It was a clear tribute to his program on college basketball’s biggest stage.

In an era where wearing Jordan retros on the court isn’t the norm, Lendeborg has never let that stop him. He has made sneakers a consistent talking point throughout Michigan’s entire tournament run.

Lendeborg was named the Midwest Region’s Most Outstanding Player as Michigan advanced to the Final Four. He became one of the team’s most important players all season long. His sneaker choices matched that star power.

Lendeborg played through a sprained MCL and ankle injury suffered in the semifinal against Arizona. He said there was no way he was missing the championship game. He gutted it out and helped Michigan get the win.

The Jordans on his feet told the story just as much as his stat line. Lendeborg made the moment his own, on and off the court.

Michigan Yaxel Lendeborg Air Jordan 11

The Air Jordan 11 is one of the most celebrated silhouettes in sneaker history. Wearing Jordan retros in games isn’t the norm at the college level anymore, which makes Lendeborg’s choices stand out even more.

The “Cool Grey” colorway is a timeless look featuring a soft grey suede upper, white midsole, and icy translucent outsole. Clean and understated. The custom “Michigan” version flips the script entirely. Navy blue patent leather, a bright yellow outsole, and white lace jewels make it a bold nod to Wolverines tradition.

Together, the two pairs captured the duality of Lendeborg’s game which is polished and powerful, with a deep respect for the culture.

Buffalo rapper Protect is the man behind the Ball Hog Collective. This collective is the home of the popular streamer, BruceDropEmOff, who has accomplished a lot in a short period of time. As for Protect, he is making moves in the underground rap scene. Coming from Buffalo, one would expect him to occupy a gritty sound that was foundationally laid by Griselda. However, Protect forges his own path. This is clear in the song “Undercover Groupie,” which has that unique autotuned and skeletal sound the current underground is known for. Protect is certainly an artist to watch as 2026 continues and forges onward.

Tokyo Toni says that FBI agents showed up to her house to question her over comments she allegedly made about her daughter, Blac Chyna. In a video circulating on social media, she films as two apparent officers ask her to explain recent social media posts. She argued that the drama stems from blogger Armon Wiggins taking her remarks out of context.

“I don’t even talk– she’s demonic and weird and all that sh*t… Listen, she is very demonic. I told the girl, you did not get baptised. He did it wrong,” Toni told the officer. From there, she clarified that Chyna has been living in California for the last 14 years. When asked if the post was fake, she replied: “No. They didn’t put a fake post.” She claimed that she never made any threats and what she said was a “metaphor.”

Tokyo Toni’s Beef With Blac Chyna

As for Tokyo Toni’s original comments about Blac Chyna, she brought up the death of Marvin Gaye. “I will ‘Marvin Gaye’ her… I’ll watch her bleed out, call the police on myself, and deal with the consequences,” she said during a livestream, according to The Express Tribune. The singer was shot and killed by his father, Marvin Gay Sr, back in 1984. In another clip, Toni added: “I can’t stand her ass. I wish I got an abortion.”

Stephen Curry’s sneaker free agency has been one of the biggest stories in basketball this season. After splitting from Under Armour in November 2025, Curry became the most-watched sneaker free agent in years. He wore a different pair almost every game, paying tribute to basketball history one silhouette at a time.

Now, Curry is auctioning off 70 different pairs of shoes from his sneaker free agency. The collection is heading to Sotheby’s New York. All proceeds will benefit the Eat Learn Play Foundation, Curry’s nonprofit focused on kids in Oakland.

The auction is titled The Stephen Curry Collection: My Sneaker Free Agency. Bidding opens April 13th and runs through April 28th. The collection spans some of the most iconic silhouettes in sneaker history.

Curry wore everything from Nike Kobe 6 Protro Mambacitas to Air Jordan 12 Flu Games to Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Mochas. Each pair carried cultural weight. Each pair told a different story about the game.

Curry spoke on the significance of the collection. He described it as a unique chapter in his career. From tunnel walks to warm-ups to in-game moments, every pair documented the journey.

Curry’s split with Under Armour came after a 12-year partnership, with the two sides parting ways following the release of the Curry 13. His next brand deal remains unsigned, but his legacy in sneaker culture is already cemented.

Curry’s sneaker free agency turned every game into a cultural moment. He laced up pairs that honored legends like Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, and Tracy McGrady.

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Mocha brings earthy tones with brown, tan, and off-white with reversed Swoosh detailing.

The Kobe 6 Protro “Mambacita” features a purple and gold colorway that pops with iridescent detail. These aren’t just shoes they’re artifacts.

Lil Tjay has been arrested and booked on misdemeanor disorderly conduct-affray, according to TMZ. These charges were booked at the Broward County Jail by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

According to reports, the artist was also booked on a traffic violation. He is being held on a $500 bond and is expected to be freed soon. As TMZ explains, the arrest is connected to the shooting that ultimately injured Offset. The rapper is currently at the hospital and is expected to be okay. However, the circumstances of the shooting have led to intense speculation online.

In TMZ‘s report, it was revealed that the disorderly conduct charge stems from a fight that took place just before the shooting. It is unclear if the fight is what directly led to the shooting. At this time, a second person is in custody, although charges have yet to be filed for that individual.

Lil Tjay Booked For Disorderly Conduct

Last night, there was lots of misinformation circulating about Tjay. For instance, it was initially reported by DJ Akademiks that the artist had also been shot. This turned out not to be the case. Akademiks then stated that Tjay was in custody.

Earlier this morning, Tjay’s attorney, Dawn M. Florio, put out a statement claiming that Tjay was not being charged and that the online rumors were false.

“We are issuing this release in regards to false rumors that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting which occurred at the Valet Area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood which resulting in non-life threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos,” Florio wrote. “Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false. We encourage people to consult trusted news sources, and to verify the accuracy of any reporting, before reflexively sharing or repeating baseless rumors.”

This remains a developing story that we will be watching very closely through the day.

The post Wireless Festival Canceled Following Kanye West’s UK Ban appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Just moments ago, it was revealed that the UK government had banned Kanye West from entering the country. Ye was looking to acquire a VISA so he could perform at Wireless Festival. The artist had been booked for three nights, and it was going to be a string of performances to remember.

However, the UK government decided that Ye was simply too controversial. His anti-semitic past was a non-starter, and his applications were denied. This has had significant implications for Wireless Festival. So much so that they have decided to cancel the festival altogether. This announcement was made on Instagram, and as you can imagine, the fans are disappointed.

“As a result of the Home Office banning YE from entering the United Kingdom, Wireless Festival has been forced to cancel,” the statement reads. “All ticket holders will recieve an automatic full refund.”

Wireless Festival Releases A Statement

Kanye West had just come off a successful string of shows in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium. These are shows that had many Ye fans singing his praises, claiming that he had officially returned as the artist we once knew.

However, this latest development in the UK shows us that just because you apologize, it doesn’t mean you are forgiven. For years, Ye was pushing Nazi propaganda. That is not something that can simply be shoved to the side and forgotten about. While some fans are engaging in wishful thinking, it is clear that Ye is still not past the point of being accepted everywhere he goes.

The UK has always had strong opinions and convictions when it comes to anti-semitism. With that in mind, it should come as absolutely no surprise that the country would restrict him from entering.

As for the fans, this is certainly disappointing news. Numerous artists are no longer able to perform because the festival runners are being stubborn with Ye. It’s a tough situation, and one that will have significant ripple effects.
