Boosie Badazz has found himself at odds with the MAGA movement after it was revealed he paid $600,000 for a Presidential pardon. He sent the money to two notorious far-right convicted fraudsters, Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman.

Boosie is now suing the two men for breach of contract. He is also seeking the partial refund that was allegedly promised in the contract. However, Wohl and Burkman are refusing to give him back any funds. This has subsequently led to public comments, in which Boosie has made it clear he is not to be messed with.

However, some believe that Boosie is snitching. That somehow, by engaging in this fight, he is going against his own morals. In a video on Instagram, Boosie made it simple. This is not snitching because this has nothing to do with the streets. Instead, this has everything to do with the white conservatives who stole his money and breached his contract.

In one Twitter post, Boosie called out the likes of Laura Loomer, Mike Cernovich, Erika Kirk, and many others. Cernovich has since responded, stating that he was unaware Boosie was looking for a pardon.

“Hey Lil Boosie, I don’t privately advocate for pardons nor accept money to do so,” Cernovich wrote. “I do promote pardons publicly, with full transparency. Nothing against you, but never recommended a pardon for you nor even knew you wanted one.”

Ultimately, this is an unfortunate case that demonstrates how pardons have become a for-profit industry under Donald Trump. Some believe Boosie is admitting to bribery, although that probably isn’t up to the internet to decide. Either way, a lesson has certainly been learned here.

Some unfortunate news surrounding Kim Scott has been reported by TMZ this morning. According to the outlet, Scott was rushed to the hospital in Michigan on Saturday following an apparent suicide attempt.

Scott, who was married to Eminem twice, reportedly cut her wrists with a knife. This claim was made by Scott’s nephew, who made the phone call to emergency services. TMZ previously reported footage of Scott being loaded onto a gurney and being placed in the back of an ambulance.

Today, TMZ followed up the story with an audio of the 911 call. It was in this audio that it was revealed why Scott needed to be taken to the hospital.

Back in May, Scott was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. This arrest came just two days after pleading no contest to a previous DWI case. It is an unfortunate situation, and one can only hope that Scott gets the help she needs.

Gillie Da Kid Fires Back At NBA Youngboy With Lil Durk Lyrics https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002096-gillie-da-kid-nba-youngboy-response-lil-durk-lyrics Wed, 15 Jul 2026 14:49:12 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002096 NBA Youngboy dissed Gillie and his son in a new song snippet.

NBA Youngboy’s been crashing out, again. It’s not anything new for him–the Louisiana-born rapper has a tendency to go off on the internet at everyone and anyone for no particular reason. On Friday, he crashed out on Future and Karlissa Stafford before backtracking on this apology… and then cussing out Future again

Most recently, NBA Youngboy had some words for Gillie Da Kid, even mentioning the name of his late son, YNG Cheese. In a new song snippet, NBA Youngboy claims that Gillie never did anything to avenge Cheese after his murder. “Had thought bout killing Gillie but that b*tch ain’t kill none about his son,” he raps in the song. Frankly, it’s unclear where this beef started since the two seemingly had a productive conversation on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast.

Gillie Da Kid Responds To YB

Naturally, Gillie responded, but it wasn’t in the way that YB hoped. While he likely anticipated a crashout for crossing a line about Gillie’s son, the podcast host went on a livestream to respond to the lyrics. Gillie rapped lyrics from Lil Durk’s “AHHH HA” and explained how he practices old school principles as it relates to street conflict.

“I’m an old school n***a,” he said. “We don’t say what we was going to do on the internet and all that type of sh*t. That’s kid sh*t. Like if you were going to do something, you would’ve done it.”

Gillie added that he views it as the nature of rap music and doesn’t necessarily take it personally. “I don’t take it no type of way. You can’t make me feel no type of way mentioning my son,” he continued. “I already come to grips with what happened… I’m not threatened,” he added, stating that his youngest child is older than NBA Youngboy. Check out his comments above.

DJ Akademiks Claims To Have Spent $83K On Daphne Joy https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002094-dj-akademiks-daphne-joy-date Wed, 15 Jul 2026 14:26:50 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002094 DJ Akademiks has been flaunting his date with Daphne Joy, and as he explained on his stream, he spent a bag.

DJ Akademiks and Daphne Joy went on a date recently, and for a second there, the internet was sent into a tailspin. The date was sparked by an appearance Joy made on Ak’s live stream in the aftermath of her sex tape with Diddy leaking online.

Daphne Joy went on a media tour as the video made the rounds, and Akademiks was one of the first people she met with. Their on-screen chemistry was apparent right away, even if she was embellishing a little bit. This sparked a date proposal, which she ended up accepting.

Akademiks previously stated that he spent $4000 on the date. They went to a fancy restaurant, and that was that. The whole thing was filmed and put on YouTube, which allowed the content train to keep going.

However, as Ak revealed on stream, he actually paid a lot more than that. The date was in Turks & Caicos, and he had to fly Daphne Joy out both ways. A one-way flight cost him $40K. As a result, the whole date cost upwards of $83K.

DJ Akademiks Spends A Bag

$83,000 is a steep price to pay for anything in this world, especially a date. However, as Ak revealed, Daphne Joy said she is interested in seeing the hip-hop commentator again. In fact, she wants to meet him in Paris, where he would have to fly her out all over again.

Lucky for Akademiks, Joy says she will settle for first class as opposed to a private jet. Perhaps that will allow the man to save a few bucks this time around.

Whether or not the date actually happens, still remains to be seen.

Tezzus Previews Alleged Oogie Mane Diss Track Amid ilykimchi Leaks https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002092-tezzus-diss-oogie-mane-ilykimchi-leaks Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:33:03 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002092 Following the ilykimchi leaks from Tuesday, it appears as though Tezzus is looking to diss Oogie Mane in a new song.

Monday was an interesting one in the underground rap world as a result of the alleged ilykimchi leaks. Photos were going around of the artist in a compromising sexual position with YSL rapper Tezzus. At the time of these leaks, fans thought that ilykimchi was still dating producer Oogie Mane, which ultimately led to the strong reactions.

ilykimchi eventually responded to the leaks on social media, although she ended up deleting her statement. According to various blogs on X, Tezzus decided to follow up the controversy with a song preview during an Instagram live stream.

As you will hear below, this song sounds like a diss track aimed at Oogie Mane. One could say that this is salt in the wound when you consider everything that has allegedly happened over the past couple of days.

Tezzus Appears To Diss Oogie Mane

However, yesterday evening, Oogie Mane addressed the controversy on X. “Me and her aren’t together anymore, I’m good stop hitting me up please,” Oogie Mane wrote. In his words, this is not a cheating scandal like everyone thought it was. Instead, the two have simply been apart for some time, and this has nothing to do with him.

Ultimately, this story has been going viral on X for 48 hours, and fans are still weighing in. Regardless of how you swing it, this is all extremely unfortunate.

Someone had sensitive photos leaked, which is an egregious invasion of privacy. At the end of the day, ilykimchi is a victim in all of this. Even if some fans on social media want to paint her as a villain.

This is a developing story.

Dame Dash Is Sick Of JAŸ-Z Flexing Beyoncé, Calls Nas Reconciliation “Cringe” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002089-dame-dash-hates-jay-z-beyonce-nas Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:05:33 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002089 Dame Dash is back on "The Art Of Dialogue," where he decided to hate on Jay-Z and Beyonce for their Yankee Stadium performance.

The post Dame Dash Is Sick Of JAŸ-Z Flexing Beyoncé, Calls Nas Reconciliation “Cringe” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Dame Dash has had a lot to say about JAŸ-Z over the past few years. Whenever he is in front of a camera, you can be sure that he is going to say something negative about his former business partner.

With Hov performing at Yankee Stadium this weekend, some fans were looking forward to seeing how Dame Dash would respond. While the hip-hop world is in love with what JAŸ-Z accomplished, it was obvious that Dame would find a way to hate. On Tuesday, that is exactly what he did.

In a new interview with The Art Of Dialogue, Dame Dash directed his hate in some interesting directions. Quite frankly, he put on a masterclass. He started off his criticisms by calling the Nas cameo “cringe.” Dame noted that when he was around Jay, the two were beefing. In his mind, the reconciliation between these two legends is simply unnatural.

Dame Dash Truly Hates JAŸ-Z

From there, Dame Dash went off on JAŸ-Z for flexing Beyoncé. Once again, he thought the video of Beyoncé cutting Hov’s hair was cringe. He also said that he’s had enough of JAŸ-Z showing off his wife. He doesn’t believe their relationship is authentic. Instead, he sees it as completely transactional.

Beyoncé and Nas’ cameos were some of the most well-received moments of the entire weekend. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that Dame Dash would want to be a contrarian and hate from afar.

Some feel as though Dame’s hate is coming from a place of hurt. That if Hov were to invoke a reconciliation, Dame would accept in a heartbeat. For now, however, Dame is going to be Dame.

Future released his latest album, The Real Me, on Friday. So far, the 22-track album has proven to be polarizing. There are no features on this project, and some feel like this might be the legendary rapper’s worst album. Meanwhile, there are others who believe it could be one of his strongest.

Songs like “2018” and “Alice” contain beats and flows that have left a lasting impression, for better or for worse. Regardless, fans are still tuning in. Future has over a decade of slaps under his belt, and this has created a sense of trust between himself and the listener.

That said, it should come as no surprise that The Real Me is projected to debut at number one on the Billboard 200, despite the criticism. In fact, according to Kurrco, the artist is likely to sell 135K units.

Future Dominates The Charts

These numbers are simply sensational. For an artist who has been in the game as long as Future, this kind of sustained success is a blessing. We live in a microwave society. Artists are chewed up and spat out. Only a few have the luxury of maintaining their success for years at a time. Future is one of those artists, and it is beautiful to see.

Achieving a number one album is no easy task, although it is one that Future has accomplished before. Now, with The Real Me, he is on pace to experience this thrill all over again.

If you are someone who didn’t love the album on first listen, perhaps it is time to give it another chance. After all, these numbers suggest that fans are, indeed, resonating with The Real Me.

Drake Takes Subtle Shot At Kendrick Lamar For Being “Jay-Z’s Pawn” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002083-drake-kendrick-lamar-shot-jay-z-pawn Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:25:12 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1002083 While the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef is two years old, Drizzy still seems to have some negative feelings towards K-Dot.

For two years now, Drake and Kendrick Lamar have dominated hip-hop discourse. While Kendrick appears done with the beef, Drizzy still feels some type of way. After all, he was hit with some serious allegations during the beef, and the knock to his reputation is still felt to this day.

While Drake has certainly made a significant comeback with ICEMAN, he is still upset with how things played out. Throughout his new album, he takes numerous subliminal shots at Kendrick Lamar. Meanwhile, there have been a few instances on social media where he has let his feelings be known, albeit in subtle ways.

For instance, We Love Hip Hop Network recently had a discussion about whether or not we are truly living in the “Dot Era.” The co-hosts made the claim that Lamar’s time in the spotlight is over and that no one cares about him anymore. Furthermore, they alleged that Kendrick was simply a pawn for Jay-Z. As you will see below, Drake liked this discussion on Instagram. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out what that means.

Drake Continues To Take Subtle Digs

One could make the argument that Drake is simply showing some support for a Toronto-based podcast. While that is certainly the case, the conversation in this specific post is a bit too on the nose. Drake knows exactly what he is doing here.

Now that Drake has released his album, there are some folks who believe a Kendrick Lamar album could be on the way for the end of the year. However, there is no confirmation that this will be the case. Instead, everyone will need to take a wait-and-see approach.

If he does drop, there is no doubt that the discourse will be unrelenting. Kendrick haters will call it a flop, even if it goes number one on the charts. As for Drake, we imagine he will continue to hate from afar.

Rick Ross has been going viral on social media in the lead-up to his album, Set In Stone. It all started with the artist being spotted at the airport flying commercial. To some, this is completely innocuous. To others, this was an indictment of his “boss” persona.

Subsequently, the artist revealed that he had already been paid for his new album. This led to a debate about whether or not he is trying to make excuses, just in case his album flops.

On Tuesday evening, Ross gave fans the tracklist and feature list for his new project. As you will see, almost every single song has a feature on it. There are 19 tracks, and it appears as though Rick Ross is coming straight for the algorithm.
