Naomi Sharon is known for her dreamy take on R&B but this week, she’s trying something different with “Miss That.” The elements of what make her music unique are still here, but this single has a more of a groove to it that sounds reminiscent of Afrobeats. If Tyla were to hop on a remix one day, we wouldn’t be surprised. Sharon absolutely kills it vocally, especially on the refrain, which is catchy the moment you hear it. Production is lush and puts you a state of serenity. That shouldn’t be a shocker though as Jordan Ullman (one half of Majid Jordan) is behind the boards here. While an album hasn’t officially been announced, Sharon’s recent social media suggests this is the start of an impending rollout. In part she writes, “I welcome you to the new era of Naomi Sharon… we’ll be dancing ++++”

Release Date: February 26, 2026

Genre: R&B/Soul

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from “Miss That”

It’s all hypnotic
I know you can’t resist me
And you’re falling deeper
Our hearts are bleeding
We’ll never make it out alive

Shooting In Atlanta Over Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” Release https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/980442-air-jordan-5-wolf-grey-sneaker-news-12 Sun, 01 Mar 2026 01:27:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=980442 Shots were fired at Stonecrest Mall in Atlanta during the Air Jordan 5 "Wolf Grey" release drop this morning.

The post Shooting In Atlanta Over Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” Release appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Shots were fired at Stonecrest Mall in Atlanta, Georgia during the Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey” release. The incident occurred this morning as sneaker enthusiasts lined up for the highly anticipated drop. Police responded immediately to reports of gunfire at the busy shopping center location.

Local news footage captured the chaotic scene with heavy police presence throughout the area. Witnesses described the situation as unfortunately routine for sneaker releases in the region. People had reportedly camped out overnight to secure pairs of the coveted Jordan 5.

The “Wolf Grey” colorway features premium leather and suede materials across the upper construction. Dark grey tones dominate the shoe with lighter grey accents on the collar. An icy translucent outsole provides striking contrast against the tonal grey blocking scheme.

This incident highlights ongoing safety concerns surrounding limited sneaker releases across the country. Violence at sneaker launches has become an increasingly troubling pattern in recent years. Mall security and retailers face difficult challenges managing high-demand drops and crowd control.

Jordan Brand releases continue generating massive hype despite accessibility improvements in recent seasons. The “Wolf Grey” represents a clean, versatile colorway that appeals to collectors and casual fans. However, no sneaker justifies the violence and danger these releases sometimes create.

Hopefully everyone involved in the incident remains safe and authorities handle the situation appropriately.

Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey”

The “Wolf Grey” delivers a sophisticated monochromatic take on the classic Jordan 5 silhouette. Rich dark grey material covers most of the upper with beautiful texture and depth. Lighter grey hits on the midsole shark teeth and collar create subtle tonal contrast.

That icy blue translucent outsole is absolutely gorgeous against all the grey materials. The classic Jordan 5 tongue and lace locks maintain the iconic profile perfectly. Premium materials elevate this beyond typical general release Jordan drops significantly nowadays.

It’s a versatile colorway that works with virtually any outfit in your rotation. The subdued palette appeals to mature sneakerheads who appreciate clean, wearable designs.

Unfortunately the release was marred by violence that overshadows the actual sneaker itself.

The post Sign-Up Page Goes Live For Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High “Alaska” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” is officially launching soon. Detailed images have surfaced alongside the sign-up page going live for eager collectors. This represents one of the most significant sneaker releases of the entire year.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” is releasing on March 28th, 2026.

The “Alaska” colorway features a pristine white leather base throughout the upper construction. Soft baby blue textile appears on the collar, quarter panels, and ankle areas. Cream suede overlays hit the midfoot and heel for premium texture and depth. Orange and blue embroidered details accent the lateral ankle for signature Off-White flair.

Virgil’s iconic deconstructed text branding covers the medial side in black lettering. The quotation marks around “AIR JORDAN 1” maintain his distinctive design language perfectly. Cream vintage-style midsoles complement the neutral upper tones with retro aesthetic appeal. The signature “AIR” text appears on the midsole in bold black letters.

This release comes from Virgil Abloh’s personal archive following his tragic passing in 2021. Nike and the Abloh estate continue honoring his legacy through these posthumous collaborations. The sign-up process ensures fairer access for genuine fans rather than bot activity.

Expect massive demand when these officially drop in the coming weeks ahead. The “Alaska” colorway represents Virgil’s continued influence on sneaker culture and design innovation. This will likely become one of the most coveted Jordan releases of 2026.

This colorway showcases Virgil’s mastery of subtle details and premium material combinations beautifully. The baby blue textile creates such a soft, ethereal quality across the upper.

Those cream suede overlays add depth without overwhelming the clean white base leather. Orange embroidery pops just enough to catch your eye without dominating the palette.

The deconstructed text branding has become instantly recognizable in modern sneaker culture worldwide. That vintage cream midsole gives these serious retro appeal beyond typical Jordan releases. The overall aesthetic feels both minimalist and intricately detailed at the same time.

It’s a testament to Virgil’s unique design perspective that changed streetwear forever. Releases from his archive carry extra emotional weight given his untimely passing.

Also the retail price of these will be $230 when they are released.

Air Jordan 1 High “Shattered Backboard” Seen Sitting At Nike Outlets https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/980432-air-jordan-1-high-shattered-backboard-sneaker-news-2 Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:11:20 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=980432 The Air Jordan 1 High "Shattered Backboard" has recently been spotted at Nike outlets around the US for just $89.

The post Air Jordan 1 High “Shattered Backboard” Seen Sitting At Nike Outlets appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Air Jordan 1 High “Shattered Backboard” has reportedly appeared at Nike outlets for just $89. This represents a stunning discount for one of the most iconic colorways in Jordan history. Full-size runs have been spotted stocked deep on outlet shelves across the country.

The “Shattered Backboard” colorway pays homage to Michael Jordan’s legendary exhibition dunk in Italy. The orange, black, and white color scheme remains timeless in sneaker culture. This particular release features premium leather construction throughout the entire upper.

Seeing this sneaker hit outlets signals a major shift in Jordan Brand’s production strategy. Jordans are becoming increasingly mass-produced compared to just a few years ago. The market saturation impacts collectors who value exclusivity and limited availability significantly.

However, this trend benefits casual fans who simply want to own iconic sneakers. More people can now access grail-worthy colorways without paying resale premiums or fighting bots. The $89 price point makes these Jordan 1s incredibly accessible to budget consumers.

This represents a bittersweet moment for the sneaker community as a whole currently. Longtime collectors mourn the loss of exclusivity that once defined Jordan releases. New fans celebrate the opportunity to finally own coveted colorways at reasonable prices.

Jordan Brand’s evolving approach reflects changing market dynamics and consumer demand patterns. The debate between exclusivity and accessibility continues dividing the sneaker community moving forward.

Air Jordan 1 High “Shattered Backboard”

The “Shattered Backboard” colorway ranks among the most beloved Jordan 1 releases ever. That vibrant orange leather hits on the toe box, heel, and collar beautifully.

Black overlays on the midfoot, Swoosh, and ankle provide perfect contrast throughout. White leather on the quarter panel and forefoot keeps everything balanced and clean. The orange rubber outsole matches the upper accents for total color coordination.

Premium tumbled leather gives these a luxurious feel that elevates them significantly. The color blocking mirrors the original 1985 “Chicago” layout with fresh hues.

These immediately became grails when they first dropped years ago at limited quantities. Seeing them widely available at outlets feels surreal for anyone who remembers the hype.

India Royale Slams Rumors That She’s Moving On From Lil Durk Amid Trial https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/980428-india-royale-slams-rumors-moving-on-from-lil-durk-amid-trial Sat, 28 Feb 2026 22:54:57 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=980428 India Royale clapped back at Myron Gaines and the more general rumors that she's leaving Lil Durk behind amid his murder-for-hire trial.

The post India Royale Slams Rumors That She’s Moving On From Lil Durk Amid Trial appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Lil Durk just got some key updates in his murder-for-hire trial, which the court recently pushed back from April to August. Amid this difficult time, some folks are making it harder by speculating that his wife India Royale is moving on from him while he’s in prison.

She clapped back to this assumption on Twitter yesterday (Friday, February 27), specifically targeting Myron Gaines’ quote-tweet of a post from user @_Mulaamamii. The post included pictures of Royale with another man and said she wasn’t at Durk’s recent court hearing.

“Women are NOT naturally loyal and 99% of CAN’T be because it’s against their own survival instincts,” Gaines wrote. India’s clap-back was swift and simple. “Shut Up B***h,” she wrote, adding “Y’all taking it too far now. Stop with the false narrative” in another tweet.

India Royale also replied the following message to a fan’s words of encouragement on the social media platform: “Can’t believe so many people lack common sense.” She also quote-tweeted “*Husband Free that man!” above a post that called the Chicago artist her “BD.”

How Long Will Lil Durk Be In Jail?

With all this in mind, it seems like the couple is still going strong and that India Royale will support her husband no matter what. We will see if any other rumors, gossip speculation, or narratives emerge while we wait for more updates on Lil Durk’s case.

He has been in prison ever since his arrest in October of 2024. Federal prosecutors are accusing him of organizing a hit on Quando Rondo that led to a 2022 shooting in Los Angeles that targeted Rondo and took the life of his cousin, Lul Pab.

Now that we know the trial will start in August (according to the most recent update at press time), Smurk will have spent almost two years behind bars by the time his trial begins. If a jury convicts him, he faces a possible life sentence.

Despite all of this, Lil Durk and India Royale’s long-lasting relationship is still a hot topic of conversation. In the future, we’re sure she will once again redirect any romantic gossip to highlighting her husband’s situation.

Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist have gone through a lot of ups and downs, and they will sadly still face Internet scrutiny concerning their relationship. Recently, he chimed in on Twitter when a video went viral of him dancing next to a woman at the club, which prompted cheating allegations.

It all started when model Adiza Sanfoka posted a clip on Twitter of her dancing at the club. In the middle of her moment, Thugger popped up next to her and started dancing too, which Adiza had fun with. However, he quote-tweeted (and seemingly deleted) a message for user melaninsun on the social media platform, who suggested Thug had not-so-innocent intentions, noticed the camera, and admired Sanfoka’s figure.

“Just was walking pass the camera and danced with a fan on some cool s**t don’t make it nun crazy,” he allegedly wrote, with melaninsun sharing a screenshot of the quote-tweet. “And yes I already saw the camera lol I have a wife.” Adiza Sanfoka herself commented “Lol” under melaninsun‘s post. Overall, it seems like the drama is in the eye of the beholder.

Are Young Thug & Mariah The Scientist Married?

For those unaware, Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist are engaged, although no official reports or updates have confirmed that they tied the knot. He proposed to her during his Atlanta show last December, and it was wholesome to witness.

Still, the R&B star’s past issues with her boo make many fans skeptical of moments like this club dance. Following many apologies amid his YSL RICO case and after it, it seems like they’ve landed in a better place. But alas, the Internet is an ever-watchful eye, and no explanation or excuse will be sufficient in many skeptics’ eyes.

Elsewhere, Young Thug’s preparing for his new album, whose title will be DBC or Day Before Coachella based on his announcements. It seems like we will get this very soon, as he’s seemingly referencing his upcoming Coachella performances in April. We will see if this ends up panning out amid other snippets and teases. Perhaps the album will contain more reflections on the Atlanta artist’s love life.

She also shares Wave and Blossom with Offset.

Cardi B may share a lot on social media, but she’s not one to constantly put her children out to the Internet. However, when it comes to her “Little Miss Drama” tour, she surprised fans during her show in San Francisco last night (Friday, February 27) with a very special guest: her first daughter, Kulture.

As caught by Complex on Instagram, the mother and daughter stepped out to a roaring crowd while the former celebrated the moment. “I’m with my daughter, y’all! Say hello to Kulture!” she remarked. The seven-year-old seemed to be having a great time, smiling and waving to fans.

Kulture hasn’t been Cardi B’s only special guest during this “Little Miss Drama” tour. During her stops in Inglewood, she brought out GloRilla, Kehlani, Tyla, and Blueface to perform with her. Cardi was very thankful for her guests and vice versa, although we obviously know which one is her favorite.

The Bronx superstar shares Kulture with Offset, and they are also parents to their four-year-old son Wave and their one-year-old daughter Blossom. The former Migo has other children, and Cardi recently gave birth to a child with Stefon Diggs.

Are Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Still Together?

Speaking of which, Cardi B and Stefon Diggs reportedly broke up, although alleged sources reportedly claim that this isn’t their first split. As such, they might get back together. Still, it doesn’t seem like either of them have moved on just yet with new romantic partners, even in the rumor mill. We’re sure fans will continue to scrutinize all of this.

However, amid this romantic drama and Cardi B’s nasty divorce from Offset, it’s very heartening and heartwarming to see her enjoy a special moment with Kulture. Our loved ones are usually our most important source of reprieve.

Elsewhere, Cardi B seemed to respond to gossip online, specifically reports that she allegedly popped off while working with Saturday Night Live over a Nicki Minaj joke. “Hmmm all these little random stories… fck it, let them talk, let them eat cake, let them come to the ballllll,” she wrote on Twitter after this report broke. Apparently, SNL confirmed to TMZ that this did happen, but Cardi’s not bothering with the details.

Baby Keem’s “Ca$ino” Has Strong First Week On Spotify Amid Sales Projections https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/980416-baby-keem-casino-first-week-spotify-sales-projections Sat, 28 Feb 2026 21:10:07 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=980416 Baby Keem will embark on a tour for his new album "Ca$ino" later this year, which should be a very fun trek.

The post Baby Keem’s “Ca$ino” Has Strong First Week On Spotify Amid Sales Projections appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Baby Keem had fans waiting for a long time after The Melodic Blue, but his new album Ca$ino seems to have capitalized on that hype in a big way. Amid the project’s first week sales projections, we now have some more information about the LP’s commercial performance on Spotify that bodes well for the Vegas MC.

According to Kurrco on Instagram, Keem’s Ca$ino secured 57.1 million streams on the streaming service in its first week on the digital platform. At press time, that number’s gone up to around 63.7 million. As far as individual tracks on the tracklist, “Good Flirts” with features from Kendrick Lamar and Momo Boyd tops the list with 8.5 million streams as of writing this article, with the title track at a very close second and “House Money” (featuring a hidden K.Dot hook and Denzel Curry ad-libs) in third.

All in all, these numbers contribute to Baby Keem’s projected first week sales for Ca$ino. According to HITS Daily Double, the record will move just shy of 72K album-equivalent units in its first week. The aforementioned performance on Spotify, plus that of other platforms like Apple Music, contributes to around 56K of these units being from streaming, whereas 16K come from pure album sales like physical copies and full digital purchases.

When Did Baby Keem Last Drop?

This would set Ca$ino at a No. 4 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Keem would get his biggest chart debut and sales week ever, surpassing The Melodic Blue‘s No. 5 debut with 53K first week sales units. That was his first studio album, and its deluxe version in 2022 was the last thing he dropped before Ca$ino.

While this doesn’t compare to other commercial performances from hip-hop peers in 2026, it’s a massive step up for Keem that he should feel proud of. Also, fans are loving the album and continue to sing its praises, which is far more important than a sales tally.

Elsewhere, though, Baby Keem’s name is the subject of debate thanks to Spotify’s “hip-hop’s next leaders” list. Many fans feel like he was long overdue for the title, which doesn’t make much sense now. After all, many folks already look at Keem as a leader, whereas others don’t find him worthy of the spot to begin with. In any case, Ca$ino proves there’s much more to the conversation.

The post Kai Cenat Counters Drake’s Trolling By Demanding His New Album “ICEMAN” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Kai Cenat is stepping away from streaming to focus on his Vivet fashion brand, which recently caught a stray from Drake via an Instagram Story. “I am a vivet designer and these are my concepts,” he wrote online, leading to a lot of jokes. Kai noticed quickly, and he clapped back by demanding that Drizzy finally drop his new album ICEMAN.

OVO fans and beyond are highly anticipating this release, which will mark the Toronto superstar’s first solo studio album since 2023’s For All The Dogs. As such, Cenat’s impatience is understandable. “N***a drop the album,” he DM’d him on IG in a screenshot of the interaction posted to his Story, as caught by Kurrco on Twitter.

The 6ix God simply replied back with various crying-laughing emojis, adding a flaming heart reaction to the former (?) streamer’s message. Even as die-hards continue to beg for the LP, he’s not letting the pressure get to him just yet. In other words, expect more Instagram trolls before the project actually comes out. But the question remains: When can we expect its long-awaited release?

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

Eagle-eyed social media users noticed that Kai seemed to cut out another message from The Boy in his screenshot of today’s (Saturday, February 28) interaction. Some of them went further and assumed that this message might contain Drake’s new album ICEMAN‘s release date.

Alas, we don’t have any official confirmation on when that will be at press time. Just expect it to land sometime this year. Many fans hope it’s right around the corner, but alleged insider leaks and speculative conclusions will have to wait to see if they’re actually true.

Elsewhere, this interaction is funny considering Drake and Kai Cenat’s previous interactions. The latter did not like the former’s third ICEMAN livestream at all, which led to some jokes at Kai’s expense on Drizzy’s behalf. Some folks might want to spin this into a rift, but it’s probably all in good faith jest at the end of the day.

Perhaps Aubrey Graham will collaborate with Vivet one day? It’s impossible to tell, but there’s one thing we know for sure: the ICEMAN cometh.

Shia LaBeouf Claims He Asked Kendrick Lamar About Donald Trump & Kamala Harris https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/980408-shia-labeouf-claims-asked-kendrick-lamar-donald-trump-kamala-harris Sat, 28 Feb 2026 19:50:28 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=980408 Shia LaBeouf's Kendrick Lamar claims concerning Donald Trump and Kamala Harris emerged in a Channel 5 interview about Shia's controversies.

The post Shia LaBeouf Claims He Asked Kendrick Lamar About Donald Trump & Kamala Harris appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Kendrick Lamar has made his general political stances clear through his music, even though he doesn’t often make explicit statements about them. However, thanks to a new interview on Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, we might have a potential United States electoral take from him, surprisingly courtesy of Shia LaBeouf. Apparently, K.Dot had a very interesting answer when asked about the 2024 U.S. presidential candidates: incumbent Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris.

The actor recently sat down with Callaghan for an interview, which goes over recent controversies such as his Mardi Gras arrest, abuse allegations, addiction struggles, and a whole lot more. However, at one point of the interview, LaBeouf claimed that he once asked the Compton lyricist about the two presidential candidates.

“I remember asking Kendrick one time, like, ‘Trump or Kamala?’ He was like, ‘You think I give a f**k about that s**t?'” Shia claimed, as caught by Kurrco on Twitter. “Like, he got a real life, you know?”

Of course, maybe Shia LaBeouf is referring to a different Kendrick here, but fans are still running with it and coming to a lot of different conclusions. Unsurprisingly, Kendrick Lamar’s battle with his rap rival Drake also came up in these discussions as a potential “gotcha” moment. But there’s little to no context here to paint this alleged statement in a particular light, so we’ll see if anything clarifies this.

In the past, the pgLang creative has been critical of Trump, such as on “The Heart Part IV.” But he hasn’t said anything about Kamala, or any sort of endorsement or explicit electoral commentary in recent years.

Kendrick Lamar & Shia LaBeouf’s History

For those unaware, Shia LaBeouf and Kendrick Lamar actually have history, as they almost worked together during the good kid, m.A.A.d. city era. In fact, LaBeouf even tweeted Kendrick’s “Wop, wop, wop” lyrics from “Not Like Us” amid the Drizzy battle.

Still, fans are skeptical about this for a few different reasons. Many pointed to the actor’s abuse allegations and other controversies as reasons to be skeptical, whereas others used this as criticism against Lamar. Either way, it was a bizarre comment to witness and one that fans will probably debate a lot over.

Elsewhere, Kendrick Lamar’s recent work includes his features on the new Baby Keem album Ca$ino. The cousins worked together on the cuts “Good Flirts” with Momo Boyd and “House Money,” which features ad-libs from Denzel Curry.
