Nigel Sylvester has officially confirmed major news about his Brick By Brick collection. The BMX legend stated that only the “Firewood Orange” colorway will release to the public. Other colorways that surfaced online have no plans for an official launch.

Fans spotted purple and blue versions of the Brick By Brick design in recent months. These sightings generated massive speculation about potential future releases for the collaboration. However, Nigel himself has now shut down those rumors completely and definitively.

The “Firewood Orange” remains the sole colorway that will release. This confirmation comes directly from Nigel Sylvester making it official and indisputable information. The purple and blue versions were likely samples or friends and family exclusives.

The Brick By Brick collection represents Nigel’s creative vision merging BMX culture with sneaker design. The “Firewood Orange” colorway features unique textures and materials throughout its construction entirely.

Special details celebrate Nigel’s journey and influence within both BMX and sneaker communities. Having only one public release makes the “Firewood Orange” even more special for collectors.

Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Brick By Brick”

The Air Jordan 4 “Brick By Brick” in Firewood Orange has this really distinctive burnt orange suede upper that immediately catches your eye. The texture looks premium with that rich nubuck material covering most of the shoe giving it depth and character.

You can see the classic Jordan 4 silhouette with its iconic mesh panels on the sides and that distinctive support wing design. The firewood orange tone is earthy and bold working as both a neutral and statement color at the same time.

Black accents appear on the midsole, eyelets, and Jumpman branding providing nice contrast against all that orange. The overall construction looks solid with visible Air units in the heel for that classic Jordan cushioning.

Special Brick By Brick detailing likely appears throughout celebrating Nigel’s BMX heritage and creative vision. The colorway has this warm vibe that makes it super versatile for casual fits.

An early unboxing video of the Nike Mind 001 has surfaced online. The innovative slip-on mule sold out within minutes on its initial release day. However, sneaker fans can get another chance with the “Black” colorway dropping next month.

The Nike Mind 001 represents Nike’s first neuroscience-based footwear line ever created. It’s designed to enhance focus, calm, and mindfulness through unique sensory stimulation. The shoe activates thousands of sensory receptors located throughout the human foot.

This revolutionary design comes from over a decade of research by Nike’s Mind Science Department. The sole features 22 independent anatomically mapped foam nodes that move individually. Each step provides varying feedback directly stimulating specific brain sensory areas effectively.

The unique sensation helps athletes clear mental noise and stay present during crucial moments. It strengthens the mind-body connection which can improve stability and movement efficiency significantly.

It uses perforated lightweight fabrics for maximum breathability and effortless comfort throughout. The Nike Mind 001 serves as a recovery and pre-game shoe exclusively.

It’s not designed for running or intense workout sessions at all. Instead it supports mental readiness and recovery through engaging experiences uniquely.

Nike Mind 001

The Nike Mind 001 has this really interesting mule-style silhouette that looks super easy to just slip on and off whenever you need. The upper features perforated lightweight material in either vibrant coral pink or cool grey tones that look breathable and comfortable.

What really stands out is the outsole with those 22 bright orange foam nodes arranged across the bottom in this anatomical pattern. The nodes look soft and squishy like they’d provide really unique sensory feedback with every step you take.

The overall shape is minimal and streamlined without traditional laces or complex closures keeping things simple and accessible. You can see how the foam nodes protrude from the base creating this distinctive bumpy texture that’s unlike any other sneaker out there.

The materials look premium yet functional with that perforated construction allowing airflow while maintaining structure. The contrast between the grey or coral upper and those vibrant orange nodes creates a striking visual that immediately tells isn’t your typical footwear.

New detailed images of the Air Jordan 1 Low “Banned” have emerged online. This highly anticipated colorway is confirmed to release later in 2026. The special packaging features the iconic “IMAGINE IF…?” branding that defines the Banned series.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” will be released on May 16th, 2026. 

The “Banned” story remains one of the most legendary narratives in sneaker history. The NBA famously banned the original colorway resulting in Michael Jordan getting fined per game.

This created massive publicity and helped launch the Air Jordan brand into stardom. The Air Jordan 1 Low “Banned” brings that iconic color blocking to the low-top silhouette.

The packaging alone makes this release feel special with its thought-provoking messaging throughout. Special details appear throughout the shoe including dates and branding commemorating the historic moment.

The insoles feature unique graphics that tell the story of the NBA ban. This isn’t just another colorway but a celebration of Jordan Brand heritage. Jordan Brand continues leveraging the Banned story across different silhouettes and releases successfully.

The narrative remains powerful enough to generate excitement decades after the original controversy. Collectors appreciate releases that connect to meaningful moments in basketball and sneaker history.

Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” Price

The Air Jordan 1 Low “Banned” features that classic black and red color scheme we all know from the legendary banned story. Black leather makes up most of the upper with a really nice tumbled texture giving it that premium feel throughout.

Bold varsity red hits the toe box, swoosh, heel counter, and collar areas creating that iconic contrast. You can see the special packaging with “IMAGINE IF…?” branding in red text which adds serious collector appeal to the release.

The white midsole provides clean separation between the upper and the red rubber outsole down below. Inside the collar there’s “10.18.84” stamped which references the date the original colorway was supposedly banned by the NBA.

The perforated detailing on the toe box adds breathability while maintaining that classic Jordan 1 aesthetic everyone loves. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $145 when they drop.

DJ Akademiks & Summyah Get Into Heated Fight Over Escort Allegations https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/970009-dj-akademiks-summyah-heated-fight-escort-allegations-viral-news Sat, 10 Jan 2026 23:00:56 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=970009 DJ Akademiks criticized SummyahMarie for her lifestyle and her alleged or confirmed relationships with rappers like NoCap and Trippie Redd.

The post DJ Akademiks & Summyah Get Into Heated Fight Over Escort Allegations appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
DJ Akademiks controversial coverage of hip-hop-adjacent romantic drama often leads to him in hot water. But rarely does he confront his subjects head-on. During the commentator and reporter’s recent livestream, he called streamer and social media personality Summyah, also known as SummyahMarie, to argue about her recent romantic drama with confirmed former partner NoCap and, according to Ak, alleged fling Trippie Redd, whose alleged relationship is less clear.

FearBuck caught the heated on-stream argument on Twitter, but there’s not a lot of context to their phone call. Nevertheless, he claimed that she and her friends are into “escort culture,” which is why he thinks she dates folks like NoCap and Trippie. Akademiks specifically wanted to determine if she was an “escort” for the Ohio MC due to their recent Turks and Caicos vacation together.

The female streamer denied these claims, explaining that he invited multiple women and that he invited her specifically to stream together. Still, Ak pushed back and said that even non-sexual intentions that Trippie Redd might have verbally expressed don’t exclude Summyah from “escort culture.” He feels like she benefits from free trips, gifts, and luxuries in exchange for intimate favors, a notion she denied and condemned outright.

DJ Akademiks’ Fight With Summyah

Marie denied having relations with Trippie and said DJ Akademiks is fixated on this narrative. She doesn’t care about NoCap’s shade towards Trippie Redd over her. Still, Akademiks fired back on Summyah’s points, calling her framing disingenuous and criticizing her attacks on what folks perceive about her relationships. Ak said this isn’t to get her to stop and is just commenting on the lifestyle, whereas she denied the notion that she’s “hopping from rapper to rapper.”

Overall, it was a very heated argument, and it only got worse from there. DJ Akademiks said the people that Summyah allegedly interacts with romantically don’t respect her. Marie told Akademiks to be more positive with his coverage instead of chasing drama and putting other people down.

At the end of the day, Ak thinks SummyahMarie is not being honest about these relationships and is lashing out unfairly. She denied any sort of sexual relationship or other arrangement with Trippie Redd, defending his unencumbered choice to celebrate ahead of his upcoming album.

Offset and Stefon Diggs are dealing with a lot these days, so they might not have time or energy to respond to Celina Powell’s allegations about them. For those unaware, she’s been going at the former a lot recently, starting with a video of him allegedly sleeping next to her and continuing with threat allegations over a $15K debt he allegedly owes her.

Powell’s most recent claims appear on her 2 Girls From Mars podcast with Milian Milliee, and The Neighborhood Talk caught them on Instagram. They all stem from her alleged conversations with the former Migo.

Specifically, the social media personality alleged that Cardi B has a restraining order against her ex partner, and that he’s not allowed to talk to their children. He’s allegedly been speaking to their daughter Kulture through his other daughter from another mother.

Also, Celina Powell alleged that Offset told her that he had “only” $13 million in his bank account. She also alleged that Quality Control’s P told ‘Set to pay him $10 million to get out of his record label contract, and that the Georgia MC owes $2 million in taxes to the IRS and planned to file for bankruptcy.

As caught by TNT on IG, Powell also alleged that Stefon Diggs was angry at the hospital when Cardi B gave birth to their son. He was allegedly only there for a few hours. Diggs allegedly did not like how the child’s name on the birth certificate had to be Cardi’s or her ex partner’s due to them not finalizing their divorce yet. Celina alleged that the NFL player “abandoned” the Bronx femcee for three days, and that “they’re not even good.”

Celina Powell’s Offset & Stefon Diggs Claims

Previously, Celina Powell brought up Offset and Stefon Diggs and alleged that the former once threatened the latter during a FaceTime call with her. Neither have publicly responded to these allegations at press time.

We will see if the buck stops here with Powell or if she has more allegations to fire off online. It’s been a big scandal so far, but we’ll see if it grows any more legs moving forward.

Drake Seems To Clown Rory Online And Prompts Hilarious Response https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/969980-drake-clowns-rory-online-hilarious-response-hip-hop-news Sat, 10 Jan 2026 21:39:37 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=969980 Rory and Mal have had a lot of Drake takes in the past, although it's unclear what prompted this cheeky troll from the 6ix God.

The post Drake Seems To Clown Rory Online And Prompts Hilarious Response appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Drake is known for being quite the troll on social media sometimes, even against folks like Rory Farrell who don’t really have much of a problem with him. Nevertheless, the New Rory & Mal podcast cohost might have received a jab from him on his Instagram Story recently, although it might be more out of love than hate.

As caught by talktomelikeimpablo on Twitter, the 6ix God posted a picture from a Rory photoshoot yesterday (Friday, January 9) where he’s holding a basketball. There’s not much context here, but it seems like Farrell took it in stride. @TheEngineer4K on Twitter caught how he posted even more pictures from this photoshoot on his IG Story, so it seems like it’s all fun and games.

Rory and Mal’s previous Drake takes have been very positive from the latter and understanding from the former. So there isn’t the context of criticism that, say, folks like Joe Budden have when he and Drizzy pop up together.

However, this might be responding to Mal’s rumor that there would be a surprise album this week. He said that he referred to the new Bruno Mars announcement, but many fans immediately brought up the Toronto superstar and J. Cole. In any case, Drake’s new album ICEMAN is still cooking.

Do Drake & Rory Have Beef?

In case you still have questions, these two don’t have any beef publicly and haven’t been at odds pretty much ever. That being said, Rory has beef with one of Drake’s friends. DJ Akademiks went off on Farrell last year amid the latter’s controversy over resurfaced tweets that many saw as offensive to Black people.

Akademiks accused Rory of dropping off a message to him at his home while Ak’s mother was there. Also, he posted photos of the podcaster and his child in public, doubling down on their nasty feud.

Farrell didn’t really respond to this publicly. Nevertheless, even if he does have issues with Akademiks, this hasn’t led to any animosity with Drake. So this Instagram Story post is most likely just an innocent troll. Other targets of the OVO mogul on the Internet are not su lucky.

Boosie Badazz has been through a lot of legal trouble in his career. But fortunately, his most recent obstacle will not land him in prison. Badazz recently received a time served sentence in his federal gun case, and must pay a $50K fine plus complete 300 community service hours.

]]>
When unidentified suspects shot at streamer Konvy during his and his friends’ livestream in a car in the Bronx last night (Friday, January 9), many folks immediately assumed the worst. The feed cut out seconds after the shooting happened, which made many fans worry. However, he recently took to his Twitter account to speak out after the situation.

“I wanna thank God for keeping us protected thru out the whole situation,” the Kick streamer wrote today (Saturday, January 10). “my friend got grazed but he is good and stable, i appreciate all the people checking up im tryna get back to everyone.”

For those unaware, Adin Ross previously revealed that Konvy’s friend JJ was injured in the shooting, and that authorities took him to the hospital. Fortunately, it seems like he’s okay and that no one else suffered any injuries. We still don’t have any police reports on the matter that shed light on more information.

We will see how folks continue to respond to this. For those unaware, Adin is a very good friend of Konvy’s who also spoke on another recent on-air livestream incident on Kick. That would be Clavicular’s stream sniper incident, in which he reportedly ran over a man who was harassing him.

Who Is Konvy?

For those unaware, Konvy is a Kick streamer and content creator known for his gaming content, his IRL livestreams, and his associations with rappers. He was hosting a livestream in The Bronx when folks shot at him in a car.

Konvy’s shooting was controversial for other reasons. Amid some heavy social media beef that Adin Ross has with Bronx rapper Lil Tjay, Tjay allegedly mocked the shooting via various alleged social media posts.

Mdot 59 Speaks On Konvy

Also, more alleged information about this shooting emerged from unexpected corners. Mdot 59 is a local drill rapper who was reportedly on stream with Konvy before the shooting. He said online that folks shot at the streamer after he stayed in their area in The Bronx after their stream. Mdot also accused the perpetrators of just looking for clout, condemning the situation as a whole. We will see if anyone else chimes in.

keeno, KonvyAlerts, and dotty caught Mdot 59’s live remarks on the Konvy situation on Twitter.

Habibi – Song by DDG & Blueface https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/969992-habibi-ddg-blueface Sat, 10 Jan 2026 19:38:03 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=969992 DDG and Blueface have been tight for years now, so it's no wonder they have a lot of music together in the vault.

The post Habibi – Song by DDG & Blueface appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
DDG is one of the most successful content creators-turned-rappers, and his new single with Blueface fits right into his catalog so far. “Habibi” is a pretty charismatic and easy-going trap-flavored cut with a slightly different melodic flow from the California rapper in comparison to his more gruff and fast style. As for the Michigan MC, he employs relaxing flows and vocal deliveries to coast through. It’s not the most out-of-the-box track from either artist, but it shows they still have some collaborative chemistry. They probably have a lot more in the vault together, so we’ll see what their next musical steps are.

Release Date: January 9, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Habibi

I been on my s**t, I feel like him,
I been on the road, I can’t wait for you, I’m not Tems,
Bitcoin on the floor last night, I think I lost an M,
I be around the h*es, that’s just my friend, I’m not no pimp
