He continues to release music at a frequent clip, and on Friday, he came through with “Coulda Shoulda Woulda.” It is an energetic rap-centric track in which Russ takes aim at his doubters. The people who constantly claim they could do what he’s done, but simply haven’t.

“Gut Genug” is a viral German track by Kitschkrieg and Blumengarten. The vocals come from Blumengarten, and in America, the sound of the lyrics has led people to think this is some kind of parody. Of course, that is very much not the case. It is a song with real meaning and powerful lyrics. That said, the song has earned a life of its own, which has subsequently led to a remix involving Skepta. This remix dropped on Friday, and as you will hear, he sounds pretty natural on the song. Although given the lore around the track, it’s hard to see if people will truly resonate.

Fivio Foreign was one of the premier artists in the Brooklyn drill movement. When he dropped his “Off The Grid” verse, he became revered. In recent years, Fivio has gone through loads of ups and downs. However, his new song “Chasin” is an undeniable high. With the help of The Fire Choir, Fivio Foreign delivers an introspective and emotional track in which he reflects on everything he has been through. He puts his faith in God and prays that things will work themselves out. It is a beautiful song, and one that shows that Fivio’s still got it.

PlaqueBoyMax recently caught a ton of hate for getting a “Diva” tattoo. This led to some criticism at Streamer University. PBM took the criticism to heart, but it is not stopping him from being himself creatively. We say that because on Friday, he dropped off the new song, “Diva.” This is a bouncy song that delivers on some of the production choices PBM has been making as of late. Meanwhile, it appears as though PlaqueBoyMax is getting a lot more comfortable on the mic. It’s an interesting track, and one that already has some lore around it.

Adonis Wears KD’s In Drake’s Latest Instagram Story https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1004295-adonis-graham-nike-kd-sneaker-news Sat, 01 Aug 2026 01:43:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1004295 Drake's son Adonis wore Nike KD's at OVO's second annual Charity Golf Classic, seen in a new Instagram story shared by Drake.

Drake’s son Adonis Graham made an appearance in his father’s latest Instagram story, and sneakerheads immediately clocked what was on his feet. The young golfer was spotted swinging away in a pair of Nike KD’s, styled in a light blue colorway that matched his coordinated outfit from head to toe.

The moment came from OVO’s second annual Charity Golf Classic, held on July 30th. Drake and his October’s Very Own family hosted the event once again, bringing together friends, celebrities, and community members for a day built around golf, hospitality, and philanthropy. This year’s proceeds went toward supporting a local healthcare network.

Seeing Adonis Graham in KD’s isn’t exactly a shock given Drake’s close friendship with Kevin Durant. The two have collaborated repeatedly through NOCTA, most recently with a Fall 2026 collection tied to the KD 19. Drake has also appeared in multiple ad campaigns for Durant’s signature line this year.

Whether intentional or not, dressing his son in KD’s adds another small chapter to that ongoing partnership. It’s a small detail, but these things rarely go unnoticed in sneaker circles. Even at a young age, Adonis is already becoming part of his father’s larger sneaker story.

Adonis Graham’s Nike KD’s

The OVO Golf Classic has quickly become a recurring event on Drake’s calendar. Last year’s inaugural tournament took place in Caledon, Ontario, drawing over 200 guests and raising money for the Scarborough Shooting Stars Foundation.

This year’s event followed a similar format, mixing friendly competition with major fundraising for another Toronto-based cause. Clips from the day quickly spread online, giving fans a glimpse at the kind of experience Drake and his team continue to build each summer.

It’s clear OVO isn’t treating this as a one-off. Two years running now, Drake has used the tournament to blend his star-studded circle with genuine community impact.

If the pattern holds, this looks like it’s shaping up into a lasting summer tradition for the OVO brand. The crossover between music, style, and sports is something everyone’s eyes are glued to.

The post Victor Wembanyama’s Nike Logo Officially Unveiled appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Victor Wembanyama has a brand new Nike logo, and it’s a bigger deal than it might look at first glance. Nike revealed it through a cinematic video showing a supernova exploding into a pulsar, one that slowly forms Wembanyama’s initials. The final design shows a sharp “V” stacked directly over a “W.”

This new mark replaces the alien graphic Nike had used to represent him since his rookie year. That original logo leaned into his “Alien” nickname, built around his otherworldly length and skillset. It quickly became a fan favorite, with players like Devin Booker even calling it the best logo in sports. Further, retiring it wasn’t a small decision.

The timing lines up with something even bigger. Wembanyama has signed a new long-term extension with Nike, one that includes his first true signature shoe. He originally joined Nike back in 2022 while still playing in France, and that deal was set to expire this September. Nike made sure that never became an issue.

With Wembanyama already established as a Finals starter, an MVP finalist, and Defensive Player of the Year, locking him in long-term was never really optional for Nike.

Alongside the new logo, Nike confirmed the Wemby 1 is officially coming. It marks Wembanyama’s first true signature sneaker, following several player-exclusive colorways on Nike’s Greater Than line. He’s worn the GT Hustle 2, GT Hustle 3, and GT Cut 4 throughout his first three seasons, racking up nine total PE colorways along the way.

No release date or design details have been shared yet for the Wemby 1 itself. Nike typically reveals signature deals well over a year before the actual shoe drops, so fans may be waiting a while.

Wembanyama now joins a stacked group of Nike signature athletes, including LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. With this level of momentum already behind him, the Wemby 1 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated basketball launches in years.

Paul Pierce Pushes Back On Ex’s $30K Child Support Request https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1004291-paul-pierce-child-support Sat, 01 Aug 2026 00:48:34 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1004291 A new court battle has Paul Pierce arguing that his ex's request for nearly $30,000 a month in child support no longer reflects his financial reality.

A battle over child support is putting Paul Pierce’s finances under the microscope. The NBA Hall of Famer is arguing his current income no longer supports the nearly $30,000 a month his ex is seeking for their young son. New court filings obtained by Complex show Pierce is opposing Princess Santiago’s request for $29,811 in monthly child support for their son, King. Instead, he’s asking the court to set payments at approximately $4,145 per month, saying the lower figure more accurately reflects his financial circumstances.

Santiago is also seeking $100,000 in attorney’s fees, along with nearly $20,000 to cover pregnancy, childbirth, and post-birth expenses. Her legal team pointed to comments Pierce made during an appearance on Club Shay Shay, where he said his endorsement earnings were so substantial that he never had to spend his NBA salary, as evidence that he could afford the higher amount. Pierce, however, says that picture no longer reflects reality.

Declining Finances

According to the filing, Pierce earned roughly $1.5 million in 2025. However, he now says that number is expected to decline significantly when residual payments connected to his former role at Fox Sports 1 end in September. He also noted that he’s already paying $44,000 each month in combined spousal and child support for four other children.

The filing further claims Santiago earns more than $400,000 annually, challenging the argument that she has limited financial resources. Pierce also pushed back against characterizations of his personal life included in the case, writing, “I live a quiet and stable life with my girlfriend. I do not drink to excess.”

The dispute extends beyond finances. Pierce is asking the court for joint legal and physical custody of King, while Santiago is seeking sole custody. Their legal battle reportedly began earlier this year when Santiago filed a paternity petition after publicly stating that she had unsuccessfully tried to resolve the matter privately. Pierce later acknowledged he is King’s father, and court records indicate he had been voluntarily paying Santiago $5,000 per month before the current support dispute.

Money has become an unexpectedly candid topic between Dame Dash and his daughter, Ava Dash, thanks to a revealing moment on Next Gen NYC. The father-daughter pair shared a lighthearted exchange about finances during a recent episode of the reality series, with Ava revealing that she’s occasionally the one helping her father when he needs cash.

In the clip, Ava is speaking with her father. He asks if she received the money that he sent her. She responds that she didn’t get “any of that $5,000 back.” Dame cracked a joke about feeling like a “nepo dad,” to which Ava asked, “Why, because I lent you some money?” She can be heard telling production that when her father needs money, she loans it to him. “He does pay it back. Right now, he’s in debt to me. But, he’s my dad. I’m not too harsh. I’m too easy.”

Dame Was On Top Of The World

The conversation caught many viewers off guard, particularly given Dame’s long-standing reputation as a businessman and entrepreneur. Once a co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records alongside JAY-Z and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, Dash helped build one of hip hop’s most influential labels before branching into film, fashion and other ventures.

In more recent years, however, his financial situation has repeatedly made headlines. Dash has faced several legal disputes involving unpaid judgments, taxes and child support, while portions of his business interests have become entangled in court proceedings. Those setbacks have fueled public discussion about the state of his finances, making Ava’s comments resonate beyond the reality show’s audience.

Rather than expressing frustration, Ava treated the situation with humor and understanding. Her remarks suggested the arrangement is simply part of their relationship, emphasizing that her father has consistently paid her back despite currently owing her money.

The moment offered a rare glimpse into the family’s dynamic, showing a daughter willing to help her father through difficult periods while keeping the exchange playful. It also added another layer to the public conversation surrounding Dame Dash, whose business career has remained a frequent topic of debate years after his Roc-A-Fella era.

Reconciliation isn’t off the table for Ray J and Princess Love. It just comes with a long list of conditions. The singer and reality television star says he’d welcome the opportunity to rebuild his marriage, but only if both he and Princess Love are willing to make significant changes.

During a recent appearance on The TMZ Podcast, Ray J admitted he’d “love” to get his family back together, though he made it clear that repairing the relationship wouldn’t happen overnight. According to Ray, any chance of reconciliation would require time, patience, and, as he jokingly put it, “a lot of money.” Even then, he acknowledged there are still hurdles to overcome. Asked whether he’d be willing to distance himself from the women featured on his Zeus Network reality series Love Cabin, Ray J sounded conflicted, comparing his role on the show to LeBron James needing the right team around him.

A Tumultuous Relationship

His comments add another twist to one of entertainment’s most turbulent relationships. Since marrying in 2016, Ray J and Princess Love have filed for divorce four separate times, only to reconcile before moving forward with the split again. Their relationship has unfolded publicly through reality television and social media headline-making disputes, making each new development part of a cycle fans have come to expect.

The most serious chapter came last year, when Ray J was arrested following allegations that he pulled a gun on Princess during an argument. She later obtained a protective order, though multiple outlets reported she dropped it earlier this year following concerns surrounding Ray J’s health.

Despite their rocky history, the pair have continued to prioritize their children and have occasionally presented a united front in public. They were even photographed together outside a courthouse during recent divorce proceedings, fueling speculation that another reconciliation could be on the horizon. Ray J isn’t shutting the door on that possibility. However, if his latest comments are any indication, he believes repairing nearly a decade of public ups and downs will take far more than good intentions.
