A home invasion near Drake’s Toronto mansion left a family of four hospitalized, with two of them facing “life-altering injuries,” according to the Toronto police. Per CBC, the police responded to a call for a “violent home invasion” in the Bridle Path area, just a few hundred metres away from Drake’s home. 

Authorities said that they are searching for three suspects who were armed with guns and a hammer and broke into the home. They said that the individuals barged into the home through the back entrance, leading to a vicious struggle. The masked suspects confronted a father, mother, and their two adult daughters before unloading their firearms “multiple times.” Const. Shannon Eames said the father and daughters were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds, while the mother was hit with a hammer. Two of the victims face life-altering injuries, while authorities stated that the other two victims are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Home Invasion In Toronto’s Bridle Path Neighborhood

No suspects have been apprehended yet. The police said they were spotted leaving the scene in an SUV. Insp. Kristy Smith noted how there’s no clear indication of the motive, but the suspects demanded valuables from the victims.

Cecil Hawkins, a neighbor of the victims, said that it’s a “terrible shock and tragedy,” while also comparing it to the 2024 shooting at Drake’s house.

“The attack on Drake’s house was awful, but he’s a celebrity and you don’t think it’s ever going to happen to you as a more normal person,” Hawkins said.

Police have since identified the CEO of the Mac Group, David Morton, as one of the victims, along with his daughters Cristina and Maggie and his wife, Doriana Zohil-Morton. We will keep you posted with any further updates on this.

Terrence Howard Is Considering A U.S. Presidential Run https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1015079-terrence-howard-presidential-run Fri, 30 Oct 2026 16:59:33 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1015079 Terrence Howard wants to secure reparations for descendants of enslaved people in the United States, and might seek the Oval Office to do so.

The post Terrence Howard Is Considering A U.S. Presidential Run appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Terrence Howard has caught backlash online in recent years for his outspoken scientific and social views, a position he might try to take all the way to the White House. While speaking to TMZ in New York City on Wednesday (October 28), he teased the idea of a United States presidential run while commenting on his recent remarks on slavery reparations.

The actor said he’d be open to meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump to educate him on the impact of slavery on people of color and how it created systemic abuses and socioeconomic disparities for the last 400 years. He proposed federal tax exemptions for descendants of slaves in the U.S. for the next 400 years.

Also, Howard commented on one of Trump’s most ardent celebrity allies, responding to a question about Nicki Minaj by saying she could help him support this policy. He argued the tax exemptions would create investment opportunities for African American communities and set an example for the world about “how to heal 400 years of bad karma.”

Towards the end of Terrence Howard’s conversation with TMZ, he said he’s “looking forward to becoming president” when asked about voting in the midterms. He added: “If they’re not going to make a difference, somebody’s got to do something. Somebody’s got to do something that’s got some heart.”

Terrence Howard Wants To Be President

We’ll see if this actually pans out into a 2028 campaign. While most folks don’t take celebrity statements like this seriously, the election of Donald Trump in 2016 did set a bizarre precedent for fame transitioning into public policy.

Elsewhere, Terrence Howard has rallied against other institutions, namely the structure of Hollywood. He’s spoken in the past about being able to expose a lot of industry secrets, adding to his history of wild comments and claims that tend to go viral.

Terrence Howard’s lofty ambitions might get him in the right rooms to have these conversations. But a lot of folks also doubt this is anything more than ego-boosting. In any case, we’re sure Howard will have plenty to say about the U.S. political climate as the country heads towards midterm elections.

Producer Alleges Kim Kardashian Was Held At Gunpoint By Police In Uganda https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1015071-kim-kardashian-held-gunpoint-police-uganda Fri, 30 Oct 2026 16:32:11 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1015071 Kim Kardashian and her then-husband Kanye West went on a trip to Uganda in 2018, where they met President Yoweri Museveni.

A new biography on Kim Kardashian titled Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created The Future just came out, authored by Jonathan Van Meter. In it, Van Meter talks about the “point of no return” for her marriage with Kanye West, with a Keeping Up With The Kardashians executive producer claiming he started to see the signs during the couple’s 2018 Uganda trip.

According to PEOPLE, executive producer Farnaz Farjam spoke about this trip with the biography’s author. “They were shooting at a remote location in Uganda when Kanye became paranoid and agitated. ‘He basically got the local police to believe that there were people trying to drug him and so they came and they had guns out. He had them raid everybody’s rooms,’” the book claims.

Allegedly, “one of the policemen had a gun to Kim’s head” during the alleged raid. Farnaz said Kim reacted to the “intense” situation by “having to get a private jet and get my crew out of there.” The producer also said he “forgave Kanye for the Africa fiasco ‘because he lives with bipolar disorder and he was in a manic place.'”

This Uganda trip was two years after the Kim Kardashian Paris robbery, which changed her view on security and celebrity status. A court convicted eight individuals in May of last year.

Elsewhere, Kim Kardashian spoke on the Kanye West relationship in Citizen Kim. “I worry about him all day,” she reportedly expressed. “That’s the father of my kids. I’ll never not worry about him. And that’s a big burden of having kids with someone who you don’t necessarily get along with. My kids would never know that… We manage to coparent without too much conflict.”

Sadly, Kim Kardashian continues to face dangerous situations, and hopefully a recent incident at her Hidden Hills estate with an alleged burglar is the last scare she faces. Citizen Kim seems full of anecdotes and revelations like these, documenting a long and varied public image that keeps growing. We’ll see if there are any responses or further clarifications in the future about this alleged Uganda incident in particular.

It’s about to be a busy end of the year for Statik Selektah, not just because his solo album, Expensive Taste, is due out next week, but now, he and 2 Chainz will be connecting for a new project. This week, they announced Playaz Only Live Once, due out on December 4th. Statik Selektah will handle the entire production on the project, so we’ll be fortunate enough to hear 2 Chainz over soulful, sample-driven production. 2 Chainz previously teased a few features on the project, including Lil Wayne, Cee-Lo Green, Mary J. Blige, and Westside Gunn.

The two have shared a few samples of what’s to come on Playaz Only Live Once. Today, they dropped off “A Week In Paris,” a smooth and sultry record that samples “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” by Ye. Additionally, they connected with Young Nudy and Cash Cobain on “Reign” in September and dropped off “Pops” in April. 

While Chainz has been incredibly active over the years, this album will mark his first solo venture since leaving Def Jam. Back in 2022, he released Dope Don’t Sell Itself. Since then, he dropped off a sequel to his joint project with Lil Wayne, connected with Larry June and The Alchemist on Life Is Beautiful, and dished out a soundtrack for his short film, Red Clay, including appearances from Ne-Yo, Lil Yachty, NBA Youngboy, and Ronald Isley and the Isley Brothers.

2 Chainz & Statik Selektah Announce New Album

We’re excited to hear what 2 Chainz will cook up with Statik Selektah on this upcoming body of work, especially since his recent efforts since 2022 have revealed another side to his artistry.

Surely, we’ll be hearing more from Chainz and Statik Selektah before the album drops. Expensive Taste boasts 21 songs in total with an impressive list of features, from Freddie Gibbs, Ab-Soul, Raekwon, Westside Gunn, Joey Bada$$, Busta Rhymes, and more. Chainz and Statik Selektah will also connect on “No Time Soon.”

Kanye West is infamous for burning a lot of bridges over the years. Arguably the most important one was that with the mother of his four children, which was no more by 2022’s end. Ye and Kim Kardashian have spoken often in the past about their decade-long relationship and subsequent divorce. But questions continue to swirl around their dynamics. As it turns out, Kim herself has something to say about it.

As reported by The Jasmine Brand on Instagram, excerpts from the new book Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created The Future raised questions online. It’s a biography of the reality TV star and business mogul by Jonathan Van Meter. In the book, there are revelations from Kim about how she coparents with the Chicago rapper despite not talking to each other pretty much at all these days.

“It’s been pretty smooth for a while,” she reportedly expressed regarding their coparenting dynamic. “I guess because we don’t talk that much. But when we see each other, we give each other a hug.“

It seems like this distance helps them stay cordial despite Kanye West’s past controversies regarding commentary on Kim Kardashian and the SKIMS cofounder’s insights into their bond, which have also caused a stir from time to time.

When Did Kanye West & Kim Kardashian Break Up?

She reportedly schedules logistics, visits, and other encounters with her ex-husband via Ye’s wife Bianca Censori or his management team. Also, Kim reportedly has an “open-door policy” through which she invites him for family dinners or offers to leave her house temporarily so Kanye can spend time with their kids.

Per The Jasmine Brand, she also admitted to worrying about her former partner “all day, all the time,” even with tensions between them in the background. Kim reportedly tells her kids their father is “traveling” sometimes when they ask where he’s at, limiting their knowledge of what may be going on in their personal relationship.

“I do everything in my power to forget about all the negative things that happened…” she reportedly expressed. “I want them to think their dad is the greatest.”

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s divorce finalized in 2022, and it followed a very turbulent time for the couple. Since then, they have moved onto other romantic partners and often meet to celebrate their children’s achievements and support them despite their breakup.

DJ Akademiks Says Lil Baby Had No Respect For Him In DM Interaction https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1015058-dj-akademiks-lil-baby-no-respect-dm-interaction Fri, 30 Oct 2026 15:36:14 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1015058 Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks' feud continues to develop, with Ak recently claiming Baby's team offered to pay him for promo despite their beef.

The post DJ Akademiks Says Lil Baby Had No Respect For Him In DM Interaction appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
DJ Akademiks was a recent guest on the One Night with Steiny program, where he talked about his long-running and seemingly irreconcilable feud with Lil Baby. The two have sent shots at each other a lot over the years, and it’s even led to some direct interactions between the two.

On One Night with Steiny, Akademiks spoke about how the rapper treated him in a DM exchange on social media. Ak quickly assumed Baby just doesn’t respect him at all, going into how the alleged dynamics between them make their enduring animosity all the more potent.

“Lil Baby hops in my DM, and he’s like, ‘Yo, lil’ bro, why are you saying this, that, and the third?'” the streamer and commentator remarked. “I get it, ’cause I was being evasive. I was trying to tell him, ‘Hey, dog, I wasn’t talking about you.’ But the tone of the conversation went left. And it’s a rapper thing, because he lacks respect. Imagine you trying to tell me, ‘I know I said X, Y, and Z, but that wasn’t about you,’ but I’m almost saying to you, ‘You little b***h.’ Like, I’m almost s***ting on you.

“At a point, you kind of start realizing this is bigger than even the conversation,” he continued. “This guy doesn’t even f***ing respect me… There’s a lot of respectful rappers… First thing: ‘little boy.’ He kept everything ‘little boy.’ I’m older than this guy. ‘Little boy, you got to know how you talking about me.’ And I’m trying to now correct him, like, ‘Bro, that wasn’t about you.’ [He] kept saying, ‘Little boy.’ I kind of correct him, but I can see he feels a way.”

Lil Baby & DJ Akademiks Beef

For those unaware, DJ Akademiks’ most recent claims about his Lil Baby beef concern the allegation that Baby’s team reached out to Ak to offer promo payment despite the feud. But not all of their crossovers are negative.

For example, Akademiks claimed Wham was among the artists who offered to help Lil Durk amid his murder-for-hire trial. But it seems like the actual dynamic between them is as icy as it’s ever been.

Luhh Dyl is one of those artists who has proven time and time again that he can construct meaningful songs that come from the heart. He can rap over anything, and with each new release, he flexes that versatility. That is especially true of his latest release, “Just One Man / Need Me.” It is yet another example of what Luhh Dyl can do on the mic. The song even switches up halfway through, forcing Luhh Dyl to present two sides to his story. It’s a beautiful message, and the way the instrumental weaves through his bars will wash you over with melancholy.

Release Date: October 28, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Just One Man / Need Me

Cut off the loose ends, cut off the leashes, ‘fore I carry them again, cut off my ankles (Yeah)
I know I make more than my teacher, she told me I would, Ms. Crockett, I thank you (I thank you)
I got a heart for sale, any takers? How much you think I could get for somethin’ that’s breakin’?
And I hate the picture they was paintin’, they thinkin’ they had me, whole time they was tracin’

evilgiane is one of the best producers in the game, and his energy matches with Slimesito very well on their new album EVILSLIME 2. The frequent collaborators once again tapped into their woozy, intoxicating, and muddy approach to plugg, and the nine-track runtime of 16 minutes means there isn’t any room to slip up. Fortunately, the project is engaging throughout thanks to some clever lyricism from Slime, his consistent flows, giane’s addictive synth tones, and textured mixes. While it’s nothing outside of both artists’ comfort zones, it’s yet another compelling drop in what’s been a big year for Surf Gang. The consistency is admirable, especially when the music is as fun and gratifying as this.

Release Date: October 30, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Tracklist of EVILSLIME 2

  1. GEORGIA STATE
  2. LIK ROCKY
  3. POP HIS TOP

The post Lil Baby Breaks Silence On His Current Relationship With Gunna appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Lil Baby is in a new album cycle, giving him the chance to finally address what’s been on everyone’s mind: his relationship with Gunna. During a sit-down with The New York Times Popcast, the rapper discussed his relationship with Gunna, saying the two certainly aren’t on good terms, but that doesn’t mean it will lead to further contention.

“Whether I like them or they like me, it’s like we all gonna be on that personal vibe,” he said. “We can not like each other but we gonna play it cool for y’all, you know what I’m saying? It’s like an unspoken thing.”

He added, “It’s like a new thing now I see like, people be going at each other and stuff, like, we ain’t really on that. We got a problem? We can handle our problem off the internet, in person, just us.”

Ultimately, Lil Baby felt as though their personal problems shouldn’t come in between what he and Gunna mean to the city of Atlanta as a whole. He said that if they were to start trading shots publicly at each other, it would ultimately make both of them look bad in the public eye.

Lil Baby & Gunna Won’t Collaborate Again

“I’d rather have that beef or problem personally because we’re… really like the ones who hold it down for the town,” he continued. 

Unfortunately, this means that the Drip Harder duo probably won’t ever reconnect on wax again, despite the impeccable chemistry they shared before the YSL RICO trial. 

Lil Baby is currently revving up for the release of his new album, Fresh, due out on November 6th. The album will consist of 17 songs and appearances from Future, Young Thug, Rylo Rodriguez, Bally Baby, and Fatt Smaxx.
