Blueface is a man who certainly loves to get himself wrapped up in some drama. Chrisean Rock, Jaidyn Alexis, and now Harvard Bri have all given him some grief over the years. However, much of the drama is his own doing.

Throughout the years, the artist has been very forthcoming about the fact that it is difficult for him to stay monogamous. For the most part, he is someone who is constantly cheating on his partners. Furthermore, he has no issues with admitting that. On camera, he will just come out and say point-blank that he cheats, and that he doesn’t really feel any remorse about it. Somehow, he has convinced his romantic partners that this is fine and just a matter of who he is.

Recently, Blueface was on a live stream where he was asked about his cheating escapades and whether or not he admits it right away. Blue noted that he will tell his partner if they ask, but for the most part, he goes by a don’t ask don’t tell policy.

Blueface Chases The Thrill

As for why he cheats, it is clear that Blue is very much a thrill seeker. He claims that he gets a rush from doing it. Having sex with someone you’re not supposed to be sleeping with is akin to skydiving for him. The girls who asked him the question appeared to be a bit scandalized by his answer. That said, he is being honest, which you have to appreciate… sort of.

Whether or not Blueface is going to change his ways is something that remains to be seen. However, given how things are working for him, that is kind of doubtful right now. Whatever the case may be, Blue is someone who understands that sex sells.

While his music career may not be as lucrative as it once was, he has been able to turn his familial drama into a career. Sometimes, you just gotta do what you gotta do.

NBA YoungBoy’s Mother Defends Ben10’s Mother After Houston Shooting https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/989260-nba-youngboy-mother-ben10-shooting Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:21:11 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=989260 NBA Ben10 was shot multiple times inside a Houston restaurant last week, and his mother is glad he's alive.

Last week, it was reported that NBA YoungBoy affiliate Ben10 was shot multiple times inside a Houston restaurant. While the circumstances leading up to the shooting are still murky, authorities claim it all started when two men tried to take another man’s chains.

The man fighting for his chains allegedly pulled out a pistol and began shooting randomly as a result. Two people ended up getting hit, including Ben10. His mother took to social media after the shooting to express gratitude that her son was not killed. This resulted in serious backlash, as some social media users felt like her post was insensitive. NBA YoungBoy’s mother, Sherhonda Gaulden, quickly came to her defense.

“Y’all some stupid dumba** people,” she declared earlier this week, as captured by 9MagTV. “How the f*ck y’all get mad cuz Ben mama said thank God her son alive? How the f*ck y’all get mad cuz somebody say thank God they son alive. You f*cking right. Thank God your son alive.”

NBA Ben10 Shooting

“B*tch, if it was y’all son, y’all would say the same thing,” Gaulden continued. “B*tch don’t ever come for mine.”

“Mamas is the ones who push their motherf*cking a**ses out and the mamas is the ones they got to set up there with them and the mamas is the ones that pray for them and that’s they damn children that God gave them,” she concluded. “So guess what? Don’t worry about me and mine baby. I don’t give a f*ck what mine do… They mine.”

Lieutenant R. Wilkins spoke with reporters shortly after the shooting, describing the altercation that led up to it and how the investigation was going.

“The investigation is just now starting,” he said at the time. “But investigators are going to get over here and try to figure out how it occurred. We got some folks on the scene who are talking to us. We got some good video.”

Lil Pump Promises To Flush 1017 Chain Down The Toilet Amid Gucci Mane Controversy https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/989263-lil-pump-gucci-mane-1017-chain-pooh-shiesty Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:21:05 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=989263 Amid the recent controversy involving Gucci Mane and Pooh Shiesty, Lil Pump has decided to make himself the story.

The post Lil Pump Promises To Flush 1017 Chain Down The Toilet Amid Gucci Mane Controversy appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Lil Pump is an artist who has largely lost his relevance over the last few years. Overall, he has devolved from a chart-topping artist to a troll. He streams on Kick and takes part in some ridiculous antics. At this point, the collective hip-hop conscience has largely forgotten about him.

However, every so often, he finds himself back in the news for one reason or another. For instance, he was recently called out after targeting J. Cole with some rage bait. Given the fact that Cole tried to sit down with Pump years ago, this felt completely and totally out of line. Yet another reminder that clout is one hell of a drug.

Now, Pump is back, although this time, he finds himself weighing in on the Gucci Mane and Pooh Shiesty situation. Shiesty, his father, and Big 30 have been accused of robbing Gucci Mane at gunpoint. Since that time, Gucci has released a song called “Crash Dummy,” which has been hit with widespread criticism.

Over the weekend, Pump sought to make the story about himself. Clearly, he thinks that he is an aggrieved party here, regardless of whether or not it is delusional to think so.

Lil Pump Goes Off on Gucci Mane

In the video above, Pump calls Gucci Mane a “bozo” for snitching on Pooh Shiesty, and by extension, himself. He then goes on to say that he is going to take the 1017 chain that he was gifted, and flush it down the toilet.

Given where Pump is in his career, perhaps it would be better to pawn it off or resell it instead. Flushing it down the toilet would probably be a huge regret later on down the line.

Ultimately, this is the kind of analysis that one would expect from Lil Pump in this situation. He is lacking a bit of self-awareness here, but that has never really been his thing to begin with. His attempts to be like 6ix9ine have largely been a failure.

Sinthoro Upper was shot and killed by his 16-year-old stepson during an argument over smoking inside their Brooklyn apartment on Sunday. According to The Daily News, the stepson was still being sought by police for questioning as of Monday.

Sinthoro’s death came after his latest song, “Slidin,” started blowing up on social media. 50 Cent even gave it a co-sign on his Instagram Story, last month. “I look on the phone and say, ‘What, 50?’” Sinthoro said on the podcast, Talk Ya Talk, afterward. “I said, ‘What?!?’” Lloyd Banks, Rich The Kid, and other artists have also supported the track online as well.

Sinthoro Upper’s Music Career

Sinthoro’s friend, Anthony Mabry, spoke with The Daily News about his passing and discussed his work in music. “He was doing the music so long and they just put his music on the radio,” he said. “He was grinding all of his life … God finally gave him his blessing within the month of this happening.”

Mabry also spoke about the impact Sinthoro had on the local community. “It’s devastating for the community because we were all rooting for him and he finally got his shot and now he was taken away,” Mabry said. “He is 43 and people were doubting him, people saying, ‘Pass the mic.’ But he stayed with it. And he was finally getting that taste — and it’s like, you took it from him… That’s like a brother to me, my best friend. I’m just so hurt, man. Whenever you saw him, you saw me.”

Sinthoro’s apartment was located near Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn. On Monday, fans laid out dozens of candles as a memorial to the late rapper. “Kids came by his memorial and literally broke down and cried. The kids loved him. He just had a good connection with them,” Mabry said. “He was a people person. Kids loved him, mothers loved him, grandmothers loved him. He just had a good heart.”

Baby Keem Speaks Out And Re-Affirms His Greatness Amid “Ca$ino” Criticism https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/989243-baby-keem-speaks-out-casino-criticism Tue, 14 Apr 2026 14:50:08 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=989243 With "Ca$ino" being described as a disappointment by fans, Baby Keem is back on X to fight for his spot in the rap game.

The post Baby Keem Speaks Out And Re-Affirms His Greatness Amid “Ca$ino” Criticism appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Baby Keem is an artist who is going through an interesting moment in his career. Back in 2021, he dropped The Melodic Blue, and for the most part, the album was a resounding success. Fans enjoyed it, and there was this sense that Keem was on the cusp of greatness.

However, he decided to take a long break following the release of the album. Just last month, he returned with his new album Ca$ino. Unfortunately, for Keem, the album was not what everyone was expecting. After four and a half years, he returned with a short album that didn’t have the bangers or the range that fans were hoping for.

The album’s sales have dropped off a cliff, and you would be hard-pressed to find the album on any charts. Meanwhile, even the song with Kendrick Lamar is struggling to catch on. For some, this entire rollout was a major disappointment, and fans do not know where Keem goes from here.

With that being said, it appears as though Baby Keem has been listening to the chatter. We say this because on Monday night, he took to X, where he offered up a reaffirmation of his status in the rap game.

Baby Keem Takes To X

“not bout to keep pretending like I’m not the best n**,” Keem wrote. “Not going no where don’t worry I’m mad now.”

Clearly, Baby Keem has been listening to the criticism, and he isn’t just going to wait around and take it. Ultimately, he has the power to change the narrative. However, in order to do so, he is going to have to keep making music. He’s also going to have to make sure that a four-and-a-half-year hiatus never happens again.

We still very much live in a microwave society. If you aren’t reminding people of your existence, they will forget about you. It is a harsh reality, although it is the one that we live in. It’s a tough place to be, and only time will tell how Keem responds.

Cardi B is currently making her way around the United States on her “Little Miss Drama” tour, and she recently graced the stage in Charlotte, North Carolina. One moment from the show in particular has captured social media users’ attention, and clips of it quickly began circulating online. In them, she’s seen dancing around onstage between songs, talking to the crowd, and describing what kind of romantic partners she prefers.

“Hold on, let me stop,” she then stated, as seen in a clip shared by @theessenceofit7 on Twitter/X. “B*tch, I might be pregnant.”

For now, it’s unclear if Cardi was being serious or just trolling. Per usual, fans have plenty of opinions. “Ain’t no wayyyy,” one commenter writes. “Welp at least we got the album and tour this time,” another claims. Someone else simply says, “CARDI STOP PLAYING WITH ME.”

Is Cardi B Single?

As for who Cardi is currently romantically involved with, if anyone, that remains a mystery. Cardi B’s viral onstage quip, however, took place just a few days after Stefon Diggs sparked rumors that they’ve reunited. He did so by attending her tour stop in D.C. alongside his mother and brother. The trio appeared to have a blast. Diggs was even spotted chatting briefly with the femcee after the two of them left the same club at roughly the same time later that night.

This cleared up a lot of speculation about where the two of them stand at this point, which has been a hot topic of debate since they decided to go their separate ways earlier this year.

Cardi’s pregnancy joke also comes shortly after her other ex, Offset, got shot outside of a Florida casino. His injuries were not life-threatening, and he appears to be well on his way to recovery. According to reports, the “Enough” performer checked on him while he was in the hospital being treated. For now, details of the purported conversation have not been made public.

Chris Brown says he isn’t interested in facing off against Usher if they were to match up on Verzuz at some point in the future. Responding to a clip of The Joe Budden Podcast, in which the hosts discussed the hypothetical, Brown wrote on TikTok: “I want no smoke! Usher got that. I’m just happy to be apart of it.”

As for the podcast debate, most of the group went with Usher. “For me, I think there’s five Usher records that Chris would have to concede to,” Budden argued. Marc Lamont Hill agreed, noting that Brown would be the winner based on their entire discography, but using only their biggest hits, he felt Usher would take it.

As the clip circulated online, fans on X (formerly Twitter) had plenty to say about the idea of Brown and Usher matching up. “Usher could just play Confessions Album lol best selling R&B album of all time? Come on,” one user wrote. Another countered: “Consider the fact that features also play a part in the battle. CB just might be winning that.”

Chris Brown & Usher’s “The Raymond and Brown Tour”

Brown’s comment comes after he and Usher announced that they’ll be teaming up for The Raymond and Brown Tour. They shared the news on their Instagram pages, last week. They posted a cinematic trailer showing them riding motorcycles while alerting fans to the tour.

Despite the announcement, they have yet to confirm further details about the venture. As of Tuesday morning, there is still no schedule or information on ticket sales. Brown and Usher have shared a countdown on a website for the tour, however, seemingly hinting at more announcements coming soon. That countdown ends at 12:00 PM, ET on Tuesday.

Even before the tour, Brown and Usher had already collaborated several times over the years. In a recent video on Instagram, Usher reflected on them teaming up for “New Flame” in 2014, which also featured Rick Ross. “One of my favorite music collaborations where I was a feature on the song and the video was Chris Brown’s ‘New Flame.’ Everything about it.. the dance, everything,” he said.

The post 6ix9ine Wears A Dress In Response To Young Thug Supposedly Copying His Hairstyle appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

6ix9ine is one of the biggest trolls in the history of hip-hop, and he knows how to get under the skin of his adversaries. Prior to his recent three-month stint in prison, Tekashi was on a crusade about Young Thug. Overall, the rapper felt slighted by the fact that Thug wasn’t getting any flak from his peers for allegedly snitching. Meanwhile, he became a pariah following his infamous trial in 2019.

Over the weekend, Thugger performed at Coachella, where he could be seen rocking some rainbow braids. Many fans remarked that the hairstyle reminded them of 6ix9ine. Tekashi ended up seeing these comparisons and decided to take matters into his own hands.

In a new video on social media, 6ix9ine could be seen putting on a dress. Why? Because he feels as though Thug is copying his style, and he wants to return the favor. He even put on a powder blue dress, which immediately makes us think of the cover art for Jeffery.

6ix9ine Goes Off On Young Thug

Meanwhile, 6ix9ine decided to troll Young Thug further in the caption by writing, “Rattin wasn’t enough, I guess he needs to feel more like me… smh.”

Putting on a dress just to troll and prove a point is certainly a commitment to the bit. However, we aren’t so sure that this is going to go over especially well with the broader hip-hop audience. Fans in 6ix9ine’s comments section are already trolling him, noting that this was a step too far.

At the end of the day, Young Thug has a lot more respect in the industry than Tekashi. While 6ix9ine certainly gets fans excited whenever he appears on Vlad TV, there is nothing that will redeem him in the eyes of the broader music industry.

For now, 6ix9ine remains a troll. His career as a streamer is going to be a lot more lucrative than his career as a musician. It is a reality that he seems to be well-aware of. That self-awareness could ultimately go a very long way for him.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has officially revealed its inductees for the class of 2026. The list includes tons of interesting choices, such as Wu-Tang Clan, Luther Vandross, and Sade. All-in-all, eight performers made the cut while another nine nominees fell short.

As for Wu-Tang Clan’s selection, the Rock Hall’s website praises them for having “fundamentally redefined what a hip-hop group could be” and creating a movement that “sent shockwaves through the worlds of music, fashion, and film.” They cited JAY-Z, Nas, Pusha T, and Odd Future as artists that the group influenced.

The organization further describes Luther Vandross as a “defining voice of his generation” responsible for “the era’s most enduring love songs.” They note his influence on Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, and Usher.

With Sade, the Rock Hall praises the group’s timeless sound for enduring across generations. They say that “their songs of love, life, and loss resonate with listeners on a deeply personal level.” Lauryn Hill, Frank Ocean, and Adele are cited as artists influenced by them.

As for the nine performers who didn’t receive an induction despite being nominated, they included the Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey, Melissa Etheridge, Lauryn Hill, INXS, New Edition, Pink, and Shakira.

When Kurrco shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), fans had mixed reactions to the final selections. “I’m happy wu tang, luther and sade got in but new edition DEFINITELY should’ve been inducted. They literally won the fan vote with over 1M votes and before anyone says ‘fan vote doesn’t decide who gets in’ ik that but the fact that they got over 1M votes just shows their influence,” one user wrote. Another added: “Billy idol and luther should have been added, surprised it’s just now happening for those legends!”

In addition to the performers, the selections for the Early Influence Award include Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and Gram Parsons. The Musical Excellence Award adds Linda Creed, Arif Mardin, Jimmy Miller, and Rick Rubin.

It was a rough weekend for King Harris. According to TMZ, the 21-year-old was pulled over in Georgia for allegedly speeding at around 1 a.m. on Sunday. When officers approached the vehicle, they allegedly spotted a gun near him and told him to step out. He allegedly refused, prompting the arrest. A THC vape was also allegedly discovered inside the vehicle.

Harris was charged with possession of a controlled substance, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, and received two traffic citations. The citations are for an alleged seatbelt violation and speeding.

The young rapper was sure not to leave his supporters in the dark about his legal woes. He documented most of the process on his Instagram Story. He even posted a photo of himself in a Pikachu onesie shortly after getting stopped. “Welp guess you can say they caught da Pikachu wit a master ball,” he joked in a follow-up post.

Harris later shared a photo of himself flipping off the camera, writing “F*** dat police” and threatening to sleep with the officer’s wife. This isn’t the only time he’s had a run-in with the law, as in 2024, he was also arrested over an incident at a gas station.

Allegedly, he almost hit a cop car while leaving, prompting the officer to pull him over. The officer allegedly smelled weed coming from the vehicle, and quickly learned that Harris had a warrant out for his arrest for failure to appear in court. He cooperated and was later booked at DeKalb County jail.

News of Harris’ latest legal issues comes just a few weeks after he made headlines for jumping into his father’s feud with 50 Cent. Fif went after T.I. and his loved ones on social media after the trap pioneer accused him of backing out of a Verzuz battle he’d already agreed to. In response, both Harris and his brother Domani dropped fiery diss tracks aimed at the mogul.
