This week has been consumed by the current feud between Sauce Walka and Drake. As we have stated previously, the feud can be described as one-sided, at least for right now.

The mother of Sauce Walka’s child claimed that Drake had a fling with her in 2024, and even bought her a Maybach. Meanwhile, she also claimed that Sauce destroyed that Maybach and made threats against Drake. He has since responded to all of this with a song called “Baby Mama Drama.”

According to DJ Akademiks, Sauce Walka’s issues with Drake have been ongoing, and this is not the first time they have had a run-in. Having said that, Ak said that Sauce is making some pretty eye-opening claims about Drake and his behavior in Houston.

Sauce Walka Continues To Criticize Drake

Sauce Walka alleges that Drake has been giving out money to women in the Houston nightlife scene. For instance, one woman allegedly received $25K per month for a penthouse. Additionally, it was alleged that Drake bought multiple G-Wagons and was also paying rent for some of these women.

While the women were not stated by name, it is clear that Sauce Walka is trying to muddy the waters around Drizzy right now. He is upset with the artist, and it seems like there is some pent-up anger being unleashed.

Sauce Walka has even been going off on the likes of Adam22, who recently got hit with a divorce filing from Lena The Plug. Sauce wasn’t kind to Adam and sees the divorce filing as a W.

Needless to say, it has been a hectic week for Sauce Walka, who very clearly has a few targets. Whether or not he keeps this up remains to be seen.

Cardi B Offers Surprising Response After Latto Confirms Dissing Her On New Album https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997300-cardi-b-respond-latto-breakfast-club-interview-diss Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:31:18 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997300 Latto took some shots at Cardi B over a leaked call surfaced.

It appears that the friction between Cardi B and Latto might’ve largely been a misunderstanding between two women handling different stages of pregnancy. With the release of Big Mama, Latto fired back after a leaked audio of Cardi B dissing her surfaced. The audio in question largely related to Cardi’s issues with Ice Spice, though Latto was ultimately called out of her name as a result. Cardi later apologized, but it seemed that the damage was done. 

During a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, Latto shared her side of the story and why she felt compelled to address the issue on her new album. When asked if the rumors were true, she said, “Well, yes it was about Cardi.”

“I rap about what was going on in my life at the moment…. I was at an early stage of my pregnancy and I rushed to the studio to do this verse for her first week sales, whatever… for ‘Errtime (Remix).’ Literally like two days later, I’m seeing all over the internet I’m being called p***y,” she said. “I’m pregnant, emotions high… And it was someone I deadass looked at as a friend. I understand this industry shit first, too, but we was on a texting basis, so I feel like, yeah, you tweeted to the world but we got each other’s number.”

Latto explained that Cardi reached out two months later, but she didn’t feel the need to respond at that point and revealed that they haven’t talked to each other since.

How Did Cardi B Respond To Latto?

In a lengthy tweet, Cardi said that she understands Latto’s perspective, though she made several attempts to reach out in an attempt to make it right. She also said that she “chose to apologize publicly because the disrespect became public.”

“I truly understand how you feel,” she said. “On that call I didn’t even mean to call you that, I didn’t mean any harm.. There’s a difference in what I said vs what I meant. What I could have said was you was too forgiving and gave too much mercy in that situation.. But it was a heated conversation and I let my mouth get the best of me.”

Similar to Latto, Cardi was also going through her pregnancy while off the heels of her sophomore album and in an emotional state. “That’s not to excuse what I said but to let you know where I was in my head. I genuinely felt bad about what happened. In 2025 and 2026 I made multiple attempts to connect…I spoke with your manager, your sister, and even texted you directly to take full responsibility,” she wrote. “I always had love and respect for you ! I always wanted to make it right but making it right looks different for the both of us… I wanted to connect with you but you wanted to address it on your album.”

Lil Durk Reportedly Facing New Charges In Murder-For-Hire Case https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997288-lil-durk-new-racketeering-murder-charges Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:04:07 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997288 New developments in the Lil Durk case.

The post Lil Durk Reportedly Facing New Charges In Murder-For-Hire Case appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Lil Durk’s legal problems look like they’re about to get worse as federal prosecutors signal that more charges could be filed. According to AllHipHop, there are new allegations of racketeering-related infractions that will be added to his case, including racketeering murder charges. The recent court filing in Los Angeles disclosed plans to file additional charges related to the 2022 shooting involving Quando Rondo. The move is reportedly a strategic one intended to block Durk’s co-defendant DeAndre Wilson from being released before trial.

Authorities allege that Durk played a role in organizing a retaliatory attack against Quando Rondo in California. While Quando survived, his cousin, Lul Pab, was fatally shot during the incident near the Beverly Center.

Prosecutors claim Wilson helped coordinate the shooting by recruiting other people from Chicago to travel to Los Angeles. The court documents claim that this group in particular monitored Quando Rondo for a day before they allegedly shot at him.

The prosecutors described him as a key figure in the murder-for-hire trial, but Wilson’s team has tried to argue that his alleged involvement was less significant than other people charged in the case. However, the government challenged that with surveillance footage captured in the aftermath of Robinson’s death, where Wilson allegedly ordered food and talked to other people involved in the shooting less than an hour after it happened. Moreover, the filing also accuses Wilson of being out on bond in a separate murder case in Chicago when he traveled to Los Angeles. It should be noted that he was eventually acquitted on those charges. However, prosecutors cited it as part of his criminal history.

What Charges Is Durk Facing?

While prosecutors plan to oppose Wilson’s release, he’s also possibly facing charges of Murder in Aid of Racketeering and conspiracy to commit stalking. However, the possible new charges against Durk are reportedly also related to older incidents, including the 2019 Varsity restaurant shooting and the 2022 murder of Stephon Mack. Durk was charged in the Varsity restaurant but the charges were dropped. Authorities did not file charges related to the Mack killing, though Durk was linked to it in federal documents.

Baby Keem Reveals How Health Issues Forced Him Into A Five-Year Hiatus https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997285-baby-keem-health-issues-hiatus Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:00:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997285 Baby Keem went five years between albums, and now, the artist is opening up about why that had to be the case.

Baby Keem took almost five full years between the release of The Melodic Blue and Ca$ino. Back in 2021, Keem had all of the momentum in the world. In 2022, he was even featured on a few Kendrick Lamar songs off Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. However, he went ghost, and fans were curious as to where he went.

Well, on Thursday, Baby Keem provided some interesting insight into his whereabouts during his hiatus. During an interview with Highsnobiety, he revealed that he was dealing with a serious health issue. That said, he is not ready to say what the exact issue was.

“I’ll never be super public about what it was because I don’t want that to be the narrative,” Keem explained. “Going through that was the hardest setback for me.”

Baby Keem Speaks On His Health

Keem went on to say that he felt as though he may never make music again. This led to dark times where he isolated himself in his home and barely went outside. It is a harrowing story, and one you can’t help but be empathetic towards.

“You have all these moments where you’re like, ‘Damn, I really won’t make music ever again.’ I turned off my Twitter. I didn’t need to see people telling me to release when I physically could not make music for a year. I had to learn how to do it again. It really f*cked me up to where I didn’t want to go outside at all.”

Thankfully, Keem appears to be doing a lot better these days. He has persevered, and now, he finds himself in a new era where he has the ability to do great things.

The post Latto Reveals Why She Had To Diss Cardi B appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Almost a full year ago, Cardi B dissed Latto during a phone call with Ice Spice’s manager. Overall, it was a shocking clip, with Cardi referring to the Big Mama MC as a “pussy.”

“l’mma beat her the fuck up. I’mma knock her the fuck out. All y’all. l’mma beat her ass. I’mma get Riot beat up by my n***as. Y’all gonna see what the fuck is up. Y’all think I’m fucking pussy ass Latto?” Cardi said.

She then followed this up with an apology, saying, “I was ranting and hot at the moment but I fck with Latto HEAVY!! I respect everything about her including her team thats so sweet.. AND NOPE! I’m not too prideful to apologize to somebody I really respect so this my public apology and now ima privately buy her a bag.”

Latto was then able to get back at Cardi on the song “Gimme Dat.” “Bitch said what? Let’s clock it / Really got a Hermes store in my closet / Talkin’ ’bout buyin’ big mama a bag like my n***a ain’t already bought it,” she raps on the song.

Today, Latto was on The Breakfast Club, and it is here that she got to address whether or not the diss was really about Cardi B, and whether or not the two can ever be on good terms again.

Latto Dissing Cardi B On Gimme Dat

“Well, yes it was about Cardi,” Latto began. “I rap about what’s going on in my life…I was at an early stage of my pregnancy and I rushed to the studio to do this verse for her first week sales (Errtime Remix) literally like two days later, I’m seeing all over the internet I’m being called p***y. I’m pregnant, emotions tied. And it was someone I deadass looked at as a friend… we was on a texting basis. I’m open to a conversation, when, I don’t know. It wasn’t a diss, it was where I was in life.”

At this point, it does not appear as though a reconciliation is likely. However, that is not to say it can’t happen. Even Latto admits that she would be open to it.

For now, Cardi will just have to wait and hold out hope that she can eventually reconnect with her friend and collaborator.

Subsequently, Sauce Walka went off on the likes of Drake and Adam22 on Wednesday. He even dropped a song called “Baby Mama Drama” to make light of the situation.

On Wednesday night, Sauce Walka finally took a win as it was revealed that Lena The Plug had filed for divorce from Adam22. Given their current beef, you can imagine that Sauce was elated. He was even quick to make an Instagram post about it.

Sauce Walka Weighs In

Adam22 and Lena The Plug got married back in 2023, but had been together since 2017. They had built an OnlyFans empire together with Plug Talk, and as of just a few days ago, were promoting their show.

Lena The Plug and Adam22 have officially split up. According to a report from TMZ, Lena filed for divorce from Adam after separating back on April 15. This news came as a massive surprise to fans, especially since they were promoting their Plug Talk podcast together just a couple of days ago.

In the divorce filing, Lena made it clear that she is looking for both physical and legal custody of their five-year-old daughter. Furthermore, there were some accusations of financial abuse implied in the filing.

For instance, Lena The Plug claims her only income right now is $3,000 per month in spousal support. Additionally, she claims not to have access to their finances. Despite building an OnlyFans empire with Adam, she alleges that the financial picture has been kept from her, and she lacks access to the money.

“I have no access to any financial resources in this marriage or actual financial information, so all amounts entered are estimates,” Lena wrote in her complaint.

Adam22 & Lena The Plug Divorce

Lena The Plug also has her own OnlyFans account, and over the years, it has become quite successful. Based on Lena’s divorce filing, it appears she doesn’t have access to the income it generates. This is a major allegation and generates further questions about the couple’s financial picture.

Whatever the case may be, Adam22 doesn’t seem to be all that worried about the situation. On his Instagram story, Adam wrote, “All black women who want to date me please DM me I will buy you a car.” He also followed this up by saying, “FREEDOM.”

Needless to say, the man is a bit of a troll, and he is using this as an opportunity to make some jokes. Over the coming days, we will be sure to keep you updated on any new developments.

Kendrick Lamar and Whitney Alford’s relationship has endured for years. The two met when they were very young and have been through the wringer.

If you remember, their relationship dynamic was under scrutiny during the Drake beef in 2024. Lamar was accused of some heinous acts, although Alford put a stop to those allegations when she appeared in the “Not Like Us” music video.

Since that time, Alford and Lamar have been living their lives unapologetically. In fact, Alford recently celebrated a huge life milestone as she turned 40 years old. We previously reported on her Instagram stories from the big day, in which she could be seen on a private jet, all while enjoying some flowers from her children.

On Wednesday, we got more photos from the celebration. As you can see below, Kendrick has a big smile on his face while he celebrates with Alford and his children.

Kendrick Lamar Celebrates Whitney Alford

It is an interesting time for Kendrick Lamar. Of course, 2025 was huge for the artist as he held a victory lap for his win against Drake. He went on a world tour and even performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Now, there are rumblings that the artist is readying a new album.

Drake took numerous shots at Lamar on his new album ICEMAN. With that in mind, some believe Kendrick is going to clap right back. Given how the beef ended in 2024, he doesn’t really need to. If anything, we might just get a few subliminal shots, and that’s it.

Regardless, the prospect of a new Kendrick Lamar album should be exciting to hip-hop heads everywhere. He is one of the all-time greats, and it is always a good year when we hear from him.

50 Cent was thrust into the headlines on Sunday thanks to the leaked sex tape involving Diddy, Sly Diggler, and the mother of his child, Daphne Joy. Fif had been extremely critical of Diddy in the past, and the same can be said of Joy. Upon hearing about the leaked tape, 50 couldn’t help but make jokes.

On Tuesday, the legendary artist was in New York at the Wild Cherry restaurant, where he hosted a special screening of Sean Combs: The Reckoning. Following the screening, there was a Q&A, and it was here that he got a chance to talk about the leaked tape. In fact, Fif garnered some stunned reactions from the crowd, as he said Daphne Joy could sleep with a dog, and he would not care.

“We haven’t had any intimacy for 12 years. She could be out back with a dog for all I care,” Fif said.

Subsequently, 50 Cent revealed that he doesn’t believe Joy is a victim. He even thinks her perspective should have been part of his Netflix documentary.

50 Cent Doesn’t Mince Words

“When we think of women, we go empowerment for women, but let’s not forget that there’s some hoes… [and predators],” he explained. “So there are people who are there who are looking for those things. They look for that.”

Sean Combs: The Reckoning remains one of Netflix’s biggest documentaries. As soon as Diddy fell into legal trouble, Fif was right there to make something happen. He took full advantage of the situation, and while he did receive some criticism, he doesn’t seem to mind.

50 Cent has always been the ultimate troll, and over the years, he has shown no signs of slowing down. As long as Diddy remains in the headlines, Fif will stay ready to pounce.

On Wednesday evening, TMZ reported that Lena The Plug had filed for divorce from Adam22. An official reason behind the divorce was not given. However, the OnlyFans model accused Adam of withholding their finances from her.

Overall, this news came as a bit of a surprise. The couple had recently been going viral thanks to a VladTV interview. Furthermore, despite their escapades, the two seemed to be on solid ground. They even have a five-year-old child, although Lena is currently looking for full custody.

In the aftermath of this news hitting the timeline, many were wondering how Adam would react. Would he make a video and explain what’s going on? Or would he simply lie low and not say a word? Well, in the end, he chose a third option, which was to make a mockery of the whole thing.

Adam22 Is Not Worried

“All black women who want to date me please DM me I will buy you a car,” Adam wrote on his Instagram story. From there, he posted another story with the one-word caption, “FREEDOM.” He has yet to release an official statement on the matter. However, these Instagram stories certainly give us a good sense of where his head is at right now.

Adam and Lena have grown a media empire with Plug Talk. The concept of the show is simple. They bring on an adult film star for an interview, and then they film explicit content with that same star. This has brought in loads of cash, with Adam admitting that the OnlyFans empire brings in more than No Jumper.

This is still a developing story, and we imagine more details will materialize in the coming days.
