Instead, Ye is a social pariah. While he has apologized for his Nazism, this hasn’t been enough for the majority of his fans to get back on board with him. The OG Ye fans are largely gone and are never coming back. Meanwhile, the artist’s current fanbase is comprised of white frat boys who watch Sneako streams in their mom’s basement.

Artistically, Ye’s Nazism has been on display in songs like “HH.” However, there is at least one Billboard-topping hit from the 2020s that plays into Ye’s worst political instincts. That song is, of course, “Carnival.” This song features Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti, and Rich The Kid. It also features loud chants from soccer ultras, as well as bars about Jewish schools, Diddy, R Kelly, and Bill Cosby.

It’s been a long time since this song was embedded in the cultural zeitgeist. Over the weekend, debates around the song returned as Twitter user @serpentpose claimed “Carnival is actually the most fascist rap song of all time.”

Kanye West’s Last Big Hit Sparks A Debate

This was certainly a head-turning take that is honestly quite hard to argue with. The tweet eventually went viral, with hundreds of music listeners weighing in to debate whether or not this assertion is actually true.

Some suggested that the real answer is “HH,” although that is not a song that was nominated for a Grammy like “Carnival.” Furthermore, the fascism in that song is explicit and almost inauthentic in a way, while “Carnival’s” is based more on the aesthetics.

Twitter Reacts

“When Kanye explicitly talked about Nazism and Hitler, it was atrocious, sure, but it was also just like ragebait without any weight beyond its literal meaning. Carnival is aesthetically fascist,” one user wrote. “The entire Vultures era is evil. Just an astonishing low for an artist to sink to and a complete abandonment of all principles. It’s kinda like the anti Jesus is king where instead of virtue signaling he just promises to get worse,” said another.

Needless to say, “Carnival” has not held up well over the years and this debate proves it.

Let us know what you think of this debate in the comments below.

These celebrations led to an incredible three-night slate at Yankee Stadium. Soon, Hov will be performing in Paris, London, and even Los Angeles. Given the success of his New York shows, it’s easy to see why fans are eager to see him later this year.

On September 18, his Jay-Z in 8 docuseries with Rick Rubin will be released on HBO Max. This is going to take a look at Hov’s storied career, as well as his creative process.

In the midst of all this, there has been speculation that JAŸ-Z will be dropping an album. Roc Nation has refuted reports of this mystery project. However, a recent post from Roc Nation now has some fans wondering what could be on the horizon. In the post, the imprint wrote: “STAY TUNED … SEPT 1ST.”

What Is JAŸ-Z Cooking?

In the image attached to the caption, there are numerous TVs that say either “Layer 1” or “Layer 2.” Almost as if they are all off-air. This can be interpreted in various ways, and for the next 24 hours, there is going to be a whole lot of guessing being done.

This could be an album announcement; it could be a tour reveal, or it could be the NFL unveiling that JAŸ-Z is going to play the Super Bowl in 2027. The possibilities are endless, and we’re just going to have to be patient.

That said, stay tuned to HotNewHipHop as we will be sure to bring you the latest news and updates from around the music world.

During this time, there were various rumors about what Blueface was up to, and whether or not the women in his life were doing anything about it. In fact, a video eventually popped up online of Alexis engaging in a sexual act. It was later said that the man in the video was one of Blueface’s friends.

In an interview with The TMZ Podcast, Alexis admitted to sleeping with Blueface’s friend. However, she says she only did it because he slept with her friend first.

“After that it was kind of a domino effect of stuff. Then I found out he fucked one of my best friends,” Alexis explained. “And then I was kind of like, ‘Oh, okay. I’ll go fuck yours then.’”

Jaidyn Alexis Gets Candid

These days, Blueface isn’t concerning himself with Alexis. In fact, Alexis claims Blueface hasn’t seen their two kids since late June and early July. It’s been a couple of months as the artist delves into his relationship with Nevaeh.

Blueface seems more occupied with streaming than anything else. Streaming has completely consumed him as of late, and it is proving to be lucrative as he is clearing over $50,000 every week. He and Nevaeh have become the talk of the platform, leaving little incentive for him to do anything else.

As time goes on, there is no indication that Blueface’s relationship issues will slow down.

Lefty’s performance at Regency Live in Springfield was part of the second leg of the Did This For Me tour. Per the Springfield Citizen, the booking information stated he was on a 24-hour hold and was expected to be released from jail on Sunday morning. 

Unfortunately, this also impacted the following show on the tour in Topeka, KS, on Saturday, as he was forced to cancel, the venue announced. However, he confirmed his performance on Sunday, August 30th in Lincoln, NE on Instagram, and his Story revealed that he was getting a haircut in Nebraska. Moreover, Steve Lobel, who currently manages Lefty Gunplay, condemned the negative headlines surrounding the arrest after they got to Nebraska. 

“I wish all these media outlets would promote positivity but hey they say all press is good press,” Lobel wrote on his Instagram Story.

Lefty Gunplay Tour Continues

The Did This For Me tour continues in Austin, TX on Tuesday before heading to Hobbs, NM, Lubbock, and Dallas, TX before concluding in Shreveport, LA on September 6th. 

It’s been quite the eventful few weeks for Lefty Gunplay outside of his recent run-in with local Springfield police. On Friday, he dropped off a new single titled “Just Another Day.” This follows his appearance on The Game’s surprise album, The Documentary III, on the song “The Part” alongside RJMrLA, JasonMartin, Mark Lux, YG, and Mike & Keys.

However, Bon took to X over the weekend with an alleged DM from Rockstar. In this DM, the game company tells her that they would love to invite her to the studio and scan her body. From there, her body shape would be included in the game.

This revelation was immediately met with scrutiny. On X, her tweet was hit with a community note suggesting that this was all a ruse.

“This is not a DM from Rockstar as Rockstar wont contact via DM’s,” the community note reads. “This is a fake DM Trend editing a photo that can be easily done.”

Gracie Bon Says She Will Be In GTA 6

In a separate video, Bon showed herself wearing a black body suit with white balls all over it. This is a motion capture suit, so it’s clear what Bon was suggesting by posting the video. Again, she was hit with a community note suggesting that this is all some sort of publicity stunt.

“The video and claim of an official Rockstar “body scan” for Gracie Bon’s inclusion in GTA 6 are unverified and not supported by any studio statements or reporting. GTA 6 features fictional characters with in-game body customization systems and diverse NPCs.”

Rockstar Games is a company that likes to keep things under wraps. Behind-the-scenes footage of the game won’t be released until after GTA 6 has been released. With that in mind, always question what you see on the internet.

Quotable Lyrics from critical

F&N, Uzis come with a hundred rounds
Movin’ the pot through the Escalade
Fuckin’ yo’ bitch, on her every day
All of my bullets is pepper-sprayed
A-all-all of the talk and it’s on my name

Once the prosecution has rested its case, the defense will present its counterarguments. This includes bringing in their own witnesses, all while attempting to poke holes in what the prosecution has presented.

Durk’s legal team includes the likes of Brian Steel and Drew Findling. These high-powered defense attorneys are known for winning big cases. However, with that success comes a hefty legal bill.

According to DJ Akademiks, Durk has some famous friends helping him cover that bill. Among those friends are Drake, Kanye West, 21 Savage, and even Lil Baby.

DJ Akademiks Reveals Drake & Ye’s Role In Durk’s Case

According to Akademiks, Ye allegedly cut Durk a cheque for $250,000. Furthermore, Drake allegedly contributed upwards of $1 million for whatever Brian Steel decides to charge. Ak then claimed 21 gave some money, just like he recently did with Casanova. As for Lil Baby, his contribution was reportedly a bit more understated. Lastly, Akademiks noted that there are other artists contributing to the legal defense fund, but they were left unnamed.

Lil Durk’s trial could be wrapped up by the end of this week. However, it is more likely that it lasts into the early parts of next week. Either way, there is a lot riding on this trial for the Chicago artist. If convicted, he faces life in prison.

Stay tuned to HotNewHipHop for the latest news and updates as we will continue to bring you the latest on this trial.

The two eventually met backstage, which led to some speculation that perhaps the two would end up collaborating on a song together. After all, Drake is establishing some roots in Texas, which makes a country music crossover that much more inevitable.

Over the weekend, the ICEMAN rapper was at a function where he found himself behind the DJ table. It was here that he began playing what sounds like a remix of “Choosin Texas.” However, there is a bit of a twist to this version of the song. Sonically, it sounds like a slowed-down R&B tune, rather than an upbeat country track like the original.

Drake To Link Up With Ella Langley

At this time, it is unknown whether or not this track is actually going to be released. Given the complete change in instrumental, there is a chance that this was simply a personal project for Drake, as opposed to a licensed remix. That said, nothing has been confirmed, so fans will just have to sit tight for more details.

Unfortunately for Drake, the fans in the comments section of Kurrco’s post are not feeling this new rendition of the track. “This shit sounds horrible please delete this,” one person wrote. “Bro seen her take Janice from number 1 and watch her stay there 19 weeks straight the boy petty asf,” said another.

Drake’s foray into country music is inevitable. While ICEMAN was a great representation of hip-hop in 2026, it does feel as though the artist is still looking to branch out into other genres. Whether or not a country pivot is well received remains to be seen.
