Not long ago, GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion looked like one of Hip Hop’s strongest femcee pairings. The two rappers joined forces on “Wanna Be” in 2024, then reunited with Cardi B for the remix, and spent much of that year publicly supporting one another. At the time, there was little reason for fans to believe anything had changed between them, making the recent speculation all the more surprising.

Questions about their relationship began to surface in 2025 after GloRilla briefly shared a Tory Lanez song on social media, prompting backlash from fans given Lanez’s history with Megan. GloRilla quickly removed the post and explained that the repost was accidental, insisting there was no hidden message behind it. Although online rumors continued to circulate in the months that followed, neither rapper has publicly confirmed they are feuding, leaving fans to dissect social media activity and song lyrics for clues.

Fans Speculate Over GloRilla’s “MANE” Lyrics

Earlier today (June 26), GloRilla and Pooh Shiesty dropped their “MANE” collaboration, and fans quickly took notice of lyrics they believe were targeted at Megan. Glo has not addressed the controversy, and it should be noted that Megan’s name wasn’t mentioned on the track. Still, the internet spread the rumor like wildfire, thrusting the two rappers back in the spotlight regarding potential behind-the-scenes tension.

On the track, GloRilla raps:

B*tch comin’ for me, who gassed her?
I’ll put a b*tch right on my platter
Ho tried to lil’ sis me, I passed her
Thought I was, mane ho, think faster
Victim-playin’-ass-ho, stop cappin’
Ho went straight to hater from clappin’

These bars could simply be for entertainment purposes or directed to someone else. Yet it seems that whenever a woman in Rap has beef, Megan’s name is at the top of the list without fail. Check out the track above.

Pooh Shiesty Accused Of Inappropriate Relationship With House Arrest Supervisor https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000031-pooh-shiesty-inappropriate-house-arrest-supervisor Sat, 27 Jun 2026 01:04:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000031 Federal prosecutors claim Pooh Shiesty received unauthorized privileges while on house arrest, adding another layer to his pending criminal case involving Gucci Mane.

Home confinement is designed to keep defendants like Pooh Shiesty under strict supervision while their criminal cases move through the court system. Federal prosecutors now claim that the system broke down in Pooh Shiesty’s case, alleging a Volunteers of America employee improperly granted the Memphis rapper additional freedom while he awaited trial on separate federal charges.

According to newly filed court documents obtained by XXL, prosecutors allege the employee maintained an inappropriate personal relationship with Pooh Shiesty and used her position to enter unauthorized day passes into the monitoring system. Investigators claim those passes allowed the rapper to travel beyond the limits of his court-approved schedule, including on the day authorities say Gucci Mane was robbed and kidnapped at a Dallas recording studio. Prosecutors also allege the employee remained in frequent contact with Pooh throughout that day and has since been fired by Volunteers of America.

Pooh Shiesty’s legal team has pushed back against those allegations. Attorney Kent Schaffer denied there was anything improper about his client’s relationship with any home confinement supervisor. He stated, “We do not believe that there was anything inappropriate about our client’s relationship with any of the house arrest supervisors. That is not what he is on trial for and is simply a distraction.” Shiesty’s trial is set to begin in February 2027.

Prosecutors have also cited several alleged violations of Pooh Shiesty’s release conditions, including missed drug testing appointments, missed check-ins, and a urine sample that was refused because it was cold. The Memphis rapper remains in custody as he continues to seek bond.

Dwyane Wade’s Son Zaire Arrested On Suspicion Of Domestic Violence https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000025-zaire-wade-domestic-violence-arrest Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:03:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000025 Zaire Wade's latest legal troubles stem from an early morning incident in Burbank that ended with his arrest and a pending review by prosecutors.

Growing up as the son of an NBA legend meant Zaire Wade spent much of his life in the public eye long before establishing his own career. The former Sierra Canyon standout followed his father, Dwyane Wade, into basketball, later spending time in the NBA G League while also building a presence through reality television and social media. Now, the 24-year-old is making headlines for reasons far removed from the court.

According to NBC Los Angeles, Wade was arrested early Sunday morning in Burbank on suspicion of felony domestic violence following an incident at a private residence. Law enforcement sources told the outlet that officers responded after a 911 caller reported hearing a woman screaming.

Incident Detailed In Reports

When police arrived, they encountered Wade and a woman who allegedly had visible lacerations on her body and face. Following their investigation, officers arrested Wade on suspicion of felony domestic violence, criminal threats, and false imprisonment. Authorities also recovered a handgun from the residence and issued an emergency protective order.

Paramedics evaluated the woman at the scene, though she was not transported to a hospital. Wade later reportedly posted a $50,000 bond and was released from custody. The case is expected to be reviewed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, which will determine whether to file formal charges. Neither Wade nor members of his family had publicly commented on the arrest at the time of publication.

Tom Hardy Plans Rap Album With CZARFACE, Features Busta Rhymes, Method Man https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000022-tom-hardy-frankie-pulitzer-czarface-rap-album Fri, 26 Jun 2026 23:33:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000022 Tom Hardy & Hip Hop trio CZARFACE, which includes Wu-Tang's Inspectah Deck, recently released their single, "Brother's Grimm."

Movie fans know Tom Hardy for disappearing into unforgettable roles, whether he’s playing Bane in The Dark Knight Rises or Eddie Brock in the Venom franchise. Music, however, has remained a much quieter part of his career. Prior to announcing a collaborative album with CZARFACE, Hardy had been recording under the alias Frankie Pulitzer, occasionally surfacing on underground Hip Hop releases while keeping that creative outlet largely separate from his Hollywood success.

That chapter is about to become much bigger, according to Billboard. Hardy and the acclaimed Hip Hop trio CZARFACE, made up of 7L, Esoteric, and Wu-Tang Clan’s Inspectah Deck, have officially announced Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer, a collaborative album scheduled for release on Aug. 28. To accompany the announcement, the group also unveiled the project’s lead single, “Brothers Grimm,” featuring Hardy trading bars alongside Deck and Esoteric rather than treating the collaboration like a celebrity novelty.

The collaboration also brings together artists from different corners of Hip Hop. Along with Inspectah Deck and Esoteric, Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer will feature guest appearances from Busta Rhymes, Method Man, and El-P, adding even more lyrical firepower to the project.

While Hardy’s film career has made him a household name, the album gives Frankie Pulitzer his most prominent platform yet, offering longtime listeners and curious newcomers a chance to hear a side of the actor that has largely existed outside the Hollywood spotlight.

Check out “Brother’s Grimm” below.

Swizz Beatz & Music Publishers Sue Bar For Playing Unlicensed Songs https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000015-swizz-beatz-unlicensed-songs-north-carolina-bar Fri, 26 Jun 2026 23:03:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000015 For years, ASCAP claims they've attempted to tell a North Carolina bar to stop playing copyrighted music without a license.

Playing music in a bar or restaurant seems simple enough, but that’s exactly what the focus of Swizz Beatz‘s lawsuit is. Behind the scenes, every song carries legal obligations that can become expensive when they’re ignored. That’s the center of a new federal lawsuit filed against Boatyard Lake Norman, where several music publishers, along with Swizz Beatz, allege the North Carolina venue repeatedly played copyrighted music without obtaining the required public performance license.

According to the complaint, as reported by WCNC News, ASCAP spent years attempting to bring the business into compliance through phone calls, emails, letters, and licensing offers before the dispute reached federal court. The lawsuit alleges that those efforts were unsuccessful, leading the organization and several rights holders to pursue legal action against Hello Bye, LLC and its owner, Christopher S. Boukedes. Among the songs specifically identified in the filing are DMX’s “Party Up (Up In Here),” House of Pain’s “Jump Around,” Rick James’ “Party All the Time,” and WALK THE MOON’s “Shut Up and Dance,” all of which were allegedly performed at the venue on November 30, 2024.

Plaintiffs Seek Damages

The plaintiffs are asking the court to permanently prohibit Boatyard Lake Norman from publicly performing ASCAP-represented music without first obtaining the proper license. They are also seeking statutory damages of up to $30,000 for each copyrighted work identified in the lawsuit, along with attorney’s fees and court costs.

The complaint further alleges the unauthorized performances extended beyond the four songs cited in the filing, suggesting the alleged infringement occurred on multiple occasions rather than during a single night.

GloRilla Hints Her Next Album Will Be “Turnt” For The Summer https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000008-glorilla-turnt-album-summer Fri, 26 Jun 2026 22:33:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000008 With her sophomore solo record on the horizon, GloRilla is gearing up to have a "fun" album of the summer.

Artists have been fighting for the song or album of the summer, and soon, GloRilla will throw her hat into the ring. Today (June 26), her “MANE” collaboration with Pooh Shiesty hit DSPs, and as fans dissect their bars, Glo gave an update about her upcoming album. While speaking with Us Weekly, the Memphis hitmaker was asked what fans can expect.

“I wanted it to have a summer vibe, so it’s gonna be fun, for sure. It’s gonna be turnt — like, you know, I like to produce turnt music,” she told the outlet while also promoting her new unexpected remix to the Reese’s Puffs cereal jingle. “I got some pretty good features on there that I’m excited [about], but I’m not gonna say. And it’s gonna be coming soon. Before the summer is all the way over.”

Glorilla Teases Feature With Destiny Child Singer

Moreover, GloRilla is doubling down on the claim that a member of Destiny’s Child will make an appearance on her forthcoming effort. Last month, she teased the big reveal and once again shared her excitement about the collaboration.  “I’m a big fan of Destiny’s Child,” she said. “Like, I love all three of them [BeyoncĂ©, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams], and so that’s major to me. Like, I’m a huge, die-hard Destiny’s Child fan, so that’s one of them.”

As far as feeling the pressure goes, Glo seems to be taking it all in stride. Her debut album, Glorious, climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, and artists often struggle to match that success on their sophomore albums. “It’s crazy, because I’ve been trying not to overthink it too much,” Glo added. “Because Glorious, I just feel like that was an amazing body of work for me. Like, I feel like that was in a peak time for me.”

“I think with this album that I’m doing right now — because on Glorious I touched a lot of different topics, but it was, like, some that was serious and then some that was, like, not serious,” the Grammy nominee continued. “But on this album that I’m working on, I’m not that serious. It’s just everything gonna be fun. I think that’s gonna be the only difference.”

Are you looking forward to GloRilla’s new album? And which member of Destiny’s Child do you think she locked in with?

Future Promises His New Album “The Real Me” Will Not Feature AI https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1000011-future-promises-new-album-the-real-me-not-feature-ai Fri, 26 Jun 2026 21:30:35 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1000011 Future recently dropped his first single for his new album "The Real Me," and "Radio" is leading the charge for a very hyped release.

The post Future Promises His New Album “The Real Me” Will Not Feature AI appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

In a world full of AI slop, an artist saying they won’t use the technology may be just as consequential as an artist saying they will. Future is playing with the idea of imitative tech a bit via the title of his upcoming album: The Real Me. As such, he took to Twitter earlier today (Friday, June 26) to affirm to fans that his project won’t feature the use of artificial intelligence technology.

The message was simple: “This not Ai #THEREALME.” Of course, maybe this is just a reference to the album title itself and not a definitive declaration. But these days, fans are happy that their favorite artists are at least trying to clear the air rather than letting presumptions run wild.

Also, this message from Pluto made many online users recall Future’s hilarious AI defense to avoid fan interactions. There’s a viral clip that Our Generation Music reshared of the Atlanta MC standing in front of fans. He had a big scarf over his head and said “This is an AI” when fans kept calling for his attention.

We’ll have to wait until The Real Me drops to see if there are even any doubts about potential AI uses. In any case, this tweet is trying to get ahead of that conversation.

Future’s The Real Me Release Date

Future’s The Real Me comes out on July 10, so we are only a few weeks away. He also recently dropped its first single “Radio,” so everything is on track for a great summer.

This will be Hendrix’s first full-length since the release of MIXTAPE PLUTO in 2024, his final of three projects that year. The other two are the WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU collaborative albums with Metro Boomin. They are infamous for starting (and sustaining) the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef saga, whereas the mixtape was more of what fans already love from him.

Still, The Real Me could mark a significant artistic change for Fewtch, possibly akin to the sensibilities of 2017’s HNDRXX. Will we finally get “the real” Future? In any case, fans can’t wait to dive in with no AI in sight.

The feud between 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather, like many of 50’s beefs, is a tale as old as time. As such, each new update in the boxer’s life is sure to elicit some sort of response from the G-Unit mogul. This time, it concerns Mayweather’s canceled comeback fight due to a $4.65 million lawsuit against him.

50 took to his Instagram page to share a headline of the Athens fight’s cancelation, which occurred just hours before the match with Mike Zambidis was set to take place. “Champ I saw I keep missing your call, the time is different I’m in Ibiza,” he captioned his post.

CSI Entertainment, which booked the event, sued the legendary fighter and accused him of ghosting an agreement for fights with Manny Pacquiao and Mike Tyson. They claim he moved onto other events while leaving them in the dust, which led to the federal New York lawsuit.

With no rescheduled date in sight at press time, we will see how this situation develops. It’s not the only 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather update of the week, though.

Al Haymon’s Alleged Call

That’s because of Fif leaking audio that allegedly features boxing legends Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe talking about Mayweather. “AL haymen & Lenord Ellerbe saying they will bury Floyd’s little a** for saying he owns PBC [Premier Boxing Champions]. EVERYBODY FLIP ON YOU WHEN YOU POPPED!” he captioned the audio clip.

Folks continue to debate whether or not this is a recent audio clip, an old one, or potentially a completely fake one created with the use of artificial intelligence technology. None of these parties have spoken any further about it as of writing this article.

For those unaware, 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather’s beef stretches back over a decade. The two were originally business partners and friends, but 50 quickly felt blind-sided and expressed his grievances with his former colleague in hilarious fashion online.

Amid other legal and financial controversies for the boxer, we will see how all of these narratives find a resolution. No matter what happens, Curtis Jackson will be there to troll time and time again.

Jay-Z is making 2026 one of his busiest years in a long time, whether it’s upcoming performances at Yankee Stadium and beyond or attending his new pop-ups for Reasonable Doubt‘s 30th anniversary. He went to the Brooklyn location of his immersive Apple Music and Roc Nation collaboration yesterday (Thursday, June 25) along with his daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

As caught by Hollywood Unlocked on Instagram, they posed for a picture throwing the Roc up and hosted many special guests including Ebro Darden, Dave East, and many more. It seems like they had a great time overall, and it was heartening to see them celebrate this history together.

Of course, there are other things to talk about concerning these pop-ups, such as new merch and collaborations with New York City to celebrate Hov all around the Big Apple. If nothing else, it’s enticing build-up to the upcoming Yankee Stadium performances in July.

Not only is Reasonable Doubt celebrating its 30th anniversary, but the Roc Nation mogul will soon celebrate 25 years of The Blueprint. Presumably, this celebration will also come with its own pop-ups and events, which should be nice to see.

Jay-Z’s Concert Dates

For those unaware, Jay-Z’s upcoming performances are at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on July 10, 11, and 12. The first night will pay homage to Reasonable Doubt, the second to The Blueprint, and the third will likely mesh both worlds together while including some other surprises and special moments. That could be Hov’s “greatest hits” run or his chance to drop another divisive freestyle. But we’ll see how it pans out.

Also, Jay will perform in Paris at the Stade de France on September 10 and in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium on October 23. These performances will also presumably encompass a lot of anniversary celebrations, but we wouldn’t complain about a larger surprise.

Elsewhre, Jay-Z and Blue Ivy are still living life. They recently went on a family vacation amid all this business, and they certainly have the resources to take as many vacations as they need to. But even for work-related stuff, they have each other’s back.
