Months ago, Ray J made some scary comments about the state of his health. He claimed to have been suffering from heart issues that would lead to his death in short order. Since then, the artist has continued to perform and participate in boxing events, leaving his supporters confused.

Over the weekend, Ray J offered an update on his health, and once again, it was grim. As you will hear below, the artist is dealing with heart and liver issues. Despite this, Ray J is refusing to get checked out.

“My liver is fked up. My heart is still fked up,” Ray J said. “I wake up and I know it. I still don’t give a f*. I still haven’t went and got it checked.”

Ray J Reveals The State Of His Health

The artist and reality TV show star then went on to say that he is going to die because of these problems. He said one day the ambulance is going to show up, and there is no telling whether or not they will be able to revive him.

“Eventually, like, n****s is gonna die. What else is gonna happen? The ambulance is gonna come, and hopefully we make it through,” Ray J concluded.

It is an incredibly grim outlook, all things considered. However, his sister Brandy is showing support. On Instagram, she maintained that her desire is to help and take care of her brother, no matter what.

“You’re fine Bro!!! I am gonna continue to help take care of you,” Brandy said.

Hopefully, Ray J is able to get the help that he needs during this difficult time.

Poohman eventually got behind the wheel of his Dodge Challenge, but eventually crashed after being pursued by the alleged gunmen. When police arrived at the crash scene, the man was dead.

Reports suggest Poohman had been attending BloodHound Q50’s funeral just hours before in Merrillville, Indiana. A funeral that had a large police presence given the circumstances surrounding Q50’s murder.

Poohman Killed After BloodHound Q50’s Funeral

If you remember, BloodHound Q50 died similarly back on September 13. Two gunmen approached his Tesla at a gas station and shot 80 rounds into the vehicle. Q50’s pregnant girlfriend was in the car at the time, although she was able to escape.

In the aftermath of the shooting, Q50’s girlfriend alleged that a Tesla safety feature ultimately made it impossible for the artist to escape. If you don’t have your seatbelt on, the Tesla won’t go in drive. She believes this is what led to the unfortunate incident.

The Chicago Police Department continues to investigate the death of BloodHound Q50, and now, they are investigating the death of Poohman.

This remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates.

Am I Wrong – Song by Meek Mill https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011173-am-i-wrong-meek-mill Mon, 28 Sep 2026 12:33:42 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011173 Meek Mill has come through with his new track "Am I Wrong" which contains a questionable interpolation of Nico & Vinz.

A couple of Meek Mill tracks leaked last night, including “Philly Heathens” and “Am I Wrong.” While “Philly Heathens” is eliciting praise, “Am I Wrong” has proven to be more polarizing. It is an interpolation of Nico & Vinz’s 2014 mega hit of the same name. Except for this time around, Meek packages it with a drill beat that just doesn’t go over all that well. It’s almost a dated sound at this point, and the singing is off. That said, this leak could be older, which would explain the sample and the production choice. Either way, not Meek’s finest work to date.

Release Date: September 28, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

A couple of Meek Mill songs leaked last night, so the artist took things into his own hands and decided to drop the songs himself. “Philly Heathens” and “Am I Wrong?” have made their way to YouTube, and the former is certainly the better of the two tracks. As you will hear, this is a song in which Meek appears motivated to end the violence in Philly. He speaks on the perils of street life and who those actions can affect. The parents who have lost children to the streets and the young lives that go down a path of destruction. It’s also a song with a strong hook in which Meek shows off his singing range. Overall, a solid effort that we’d love to get on streaming.

Release Date: September 28, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Quotable Lyrics from Philly Heathens

I was told to make a play on my brother if I got some
And never will my brother especially if y’all both don’t got nothing
Learned that from my mother but in them streets is when I got some
So many people dying around me I feel like I see God coming

Jacquees has been arrested in the past. Back in 2018, the artist was subjected to two arrests, one in Miami and one in Atlanta. The Miami arrest took place amidst a traffic stop, while the Atlanta arrest came after he was caught driving 116 MPH.

Moreover, in 2023, Jacquees was accused of choking a woman and biting her hand. This allegedly took place during an altercation near the Mall of Georgia. The artist was later charged with simple battery and obstruction before eventually securing bond.

As for this current arrest, there are still a few unknowns right now. Stay tuned to HotNewHipHop as we will be sure to bring you the latest news and updates on this developing story.

Yeat Teases Another Nike Collection With 3 Silhouettes https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1011157-yeat-x-nike-collection-sneaker-news Mon, 28 Sep 2026 02:07:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1011157 Yeat appears to be teasing another Nike collaboration, featuring the Air Max 95, Air Force 1, and GT Future silhouettes.

The post Yeat Teases Another Nike Collection With 3 Silhouettes appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Yeat may be gearing up for another Nike collaboration. A new image points to a potential collection built around the Air Max 95, Air Force 1, and GT Future, giving fans a first hint of what’s coming.

The photo shows sculpted white versions of all three silhouettes, arranged neatly on a wood floor. Each shoe appears molded in a matching chalky finish, making it feel more like an art piece than a standard product teaser. The Air Force 1 is shown in its high-top strap form, while the GT Future stands out with its draped, shell-like shape.

Nothing official has been announced yet, so release dates, pricing, and colorways remain unknown. Nike hasn’t confirmed anything either, leaving the image as the only real clue so far. Stay tuned for more updates if this new collaboration materializes.

Still, seeing 3 distinct silhouettes grouped together suggests this could be a full collection rather than a single shoe. That would fit how Yeat’s previous Nike projects have rolled out, pairing footwear with matching apparel.

New Yeat x Nike Collection

Yeat’s partnership with Nike has picked up serious momentum throughout 2026. The rapper’s earlier collaboration included a pair of Air Force 1s in all black and all white, tied to his album artwork along the side and tongue.

That same rollout brought the Nike Air Liquid Max, timed with this year’s Air Max Day celebrations. A lineup of hoodies carrying “Lyfestyle x Nike” co-branding also joined the collection, showing how much of a full lifestyle push the project became.

Given how well that first run landed, a follow-up feels like a natural next step. Yeat has quickly become one of the more visible artists working with Nike right now, and his signature futuristic aesthetic pairs well with silhouettes like the GT Future and Air Max 95.

For now, fans will have to wait on official confirmation. If this does turn into a full release, expect plenty of attention once details finally surface.

Sean Payton pulled out a genuine surprise during a Sunday Night Football broadcast, gifting Mike Tomlin a pair of “CNY” Air Jordan 1 Lows live on set. The moment played out with Tomlin visibly caught off guard, laughing as he unboxed the shoes at the desk.

Tomlin later held the pair up on camera, joking “new kicks, who dis?” as he checked them out. The gesture added a lighthearted moment to the broadcast, with both coaches clearly enjoying the exchange in front of a live audience.

Payton has built a reputation around the league for his sneaker game, regularly showing up to games in standout Jordan pairs. Moments like this one only add to that reputation, this time extending the gesture to a fellow head coach instead of his own players.

Given how well-known Payton’s Jordan Brand ties are, gifting a pair to Tomlin on live television felt like a natural, on-brand move. It’s the kind of small moment that ends up getting more attention than either coach probably expected.

Sean Payton Gifts Mike Tomlin Air Jordan 1s

Payton became the first NFL coach to sign directly with Jordan Brand back in 2020. The deal came together after a chance meeting with Michael Jordan at his private golf course during Super Bowl weekend that same year.

According to Payton, Jordan noticed his footwear immediately, telling him he’d be making him his first “Jordan Coach.” A formal partnership followed shortly after, separate from the university-based deals other coaches like Jim Harbaugh and Patrick Ewing have through their programs.

Payton has leaned into that relationship consistently since then, frequently wearing Jordan Brand sneakers on the sideline during games. Passing that same energy along to Tomlin fits right into how visible he’s made his connection to the brand over the years.

Moments like this Sunday Night Football surprise show how far that relationship with Jordan Brand has carried into Payton’s everyday coaching persona. Other coaches will certainly enjoy going up against the Broncos if the gifts continue!

The post Nike Zoom Hyperflight Goes Vibrant With “Green Apple” Colorway appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Nike Zoom Hyperflight is returning for another colorway this Holiday 2026 season. “Green Apple” carries the style code IZ1481-300 and is set to release for $170.

A glossy upper creates the design, starting in bright green near the top before fading into a lighter volt tone toward the midsole. That gradient effect plays well against the Hyperflight’s smooth, molded build, giving the shoe a clean, futuristic look.

Black provides most of the contrast, showing up on the interior, the Swoosh, and the “H” frame running along the lateral midfoot. A translucent volt outsole rounds out the design, keeping that same neon energy running from top to bottom.

That kind of two-tone gradient has become something of a signature move for this silhouette specifically. Few basketball shoes lean into color transitions quite like the Hyperflight does, thanks to its smooth upper.

Given how bold this colorway is, it should stand out easily whenever it lands during the busy holiday release stretch.

Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Green Apple”

The Zoom Hyperflight first released in 2001 and it was designed by Eric Avar. Its glossy, minimalist upper made it instantly recognizable compared to most basketball shoes at the time, favoring smooth patent leather over the busier designs common in that era.

Jason Williams became closely associated with the silhouette during its original run, helping build its reputation on-court. The shoe later saw a notable retro moment in 2013, when Nike released a “Superhero” pack tied to Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant, along with several other loud, animal-print colorways that same year.

Nike brought the Hyperflight back again in 2026, leaning into its reputation for bold, eye-catching colorways. Reaction to that return was strong initially, though interest has cooled somewhat as more pairs have rolled out over the year.

“Green Apple” continues that same approach, betting on a loud, gradient-heavy design to keep the silhouette relevant. For fans of the model’s early-2000s design language, this colorway should be an easy one to appreciate, even as the broader hype around the retro run settles down.

The post Union LA x Air Jordan 1 “UNC/Royal” Sample Gets A Detailed Look appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A closer look is finally out for Union LA’s “UNC/Royal” Air Jordan 1 High OG SP sample. The pair first surfaced back in February 2025 and remains unconfirmed for retail.

Blue covers the lower half of the shoe, while a deeper Royal Blue takes over the upper portion. Union’s signature exposed stitching connects both halves, giving the design that familiar mash-up look the brand has built its reputation on.

Bright yellow laces add contrast against all that blue, while an aged sail midsole ties the whole build together. Wings branding and Jordan tags remain intact, keeping the shoe recognizable despite the reworked color-blocking.

This is Union’s third project blending original 1985 Air Jordan 1 colorways into one hybrid design. Since it’s still labeled a sample, there’s no confirmed release date or price attached to this specific pair.

Sample sightings like this one are honestly some of the most fun stories to cover in this space. There’s something very exciting about seeing a shoe that was never meant to leave a design studio, especially from a brand like Union.

Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG SP “UNC/Royal” Samples

Union LA has built a strong reputation around this exact concept, merging two OG colorways into a single cohesive shoe. That approach first gained traction through the brand’s “Shadow/Chicago” release, later expanding into other combinations.

This “UNC/Royal” sample follows that same blueprint, pairing two blue-based colorways instead of contrasting tones. It debuted alongside Union’s “I’m Back” release and a separate triple collaboration with Fragment Design, keeping the brand’s Jordan 1 output moving quickly during that stretch.

Samples like this one often generate plenty of buzz even without a confirmed release attached. Part of that comes down to rarity. Most collectors will never own a pair like this, so photos are often the closest anyone gets.

That scarcity is exactly what makes these sightings feel special. It’s a rare, unfiltered look into the creative process behind a collaboration, long before marketing and mass production ever get involved.

The post SoleFly x Air Jordan 5 Receives New Detailed Images appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

SoleFly is back with another Jordan Brand collaboration, this time they are taking on the Air Jordan 5. The pair is expected to release Holiday 2026, with reports pointing to an October 8th launch for $225, carrying the style code IU0734-001.

Grey suede covers most of the upper, paired with a black midsole and matching accents throughout. Teal detailing hits the SoleFly logo, lace lock, and midsole trim, giving the design a distinct Miami feel. A gum outsole finishes the look, keeping things grounded in a familiar Jordan 5 build.

One standout detail comes through the lacing itself. Upper eyelets let the laces wrap fully around the ankle before returning to the front, giving the shoe a subtle boxing-inspired look. That detail lines up with the boxing themes reportedly running through the accompanying apparel and lookbook.

Given SoleFly’s track record with Jordan Brand, this pair should draw serious attention once release details firm up. The Air Jordan 5 already commands enough attention. Adding a collab like this means this pair will likely sellout quick.

SoleFly x Air Jordan 5

SoleFly’s relationship with Jordan Brand stretches back to 2014, when the Miami boutique released its first-ever collaboration inspired by the Florida lottery. That original pair never reached the public, staying limited to friends and family only.

Since then, SoleFly has built one of the most consistent collaborator relationships in the Jordan Brand ecosystem. Recent years alone have brought projects built around the 8, 10, and 12, along with a well-received Air Jordan 3 release in 2025.

This Air Jordan 5 continues that steady cadence releasing a sneaker once a year. A SoleFly Air Jordan 4 is also reportedly on deck for 2027, keeping the momentum going even further.

There is more than 10 years of combined history behind this partnership. Overall, we can expect the Air Jordan 5 to carry the same attention to detail SoleFly has become known for.
