Perhaps one of the biggest head-scratchers of the year surrounds Boosie’s attempt at getting a pardon and the avenues he took to try to secure it. This week, the rapper appeared on 60 Minutes, where he discussed his dealings with Trump lobbyists who he claims promised to help him get a pardon. What’s worse is that he reportedly paid $600K to make it happen.

Since then, Boosie has made his grievances about the interview clear, but he’s also facing even more backlash as a result of it. Many people criticized his approach and his decision to reach out to Trump lobbyists Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl to try to get his pardon. Boosie shared screenshots of text messages he exchanged with Burkman, who allegedly promised that they’re “working around the clock.” At one point, Burkman’s text reads, “Trump is very sympathetic. We are very close my good friend.”

Needless to say, fans were even more confused about how Boosie would get duped by someone who was previously convicted of fraud. Eventually, Boosie demanded his money back within three days, claiming that he “did not do sh*t that the agreement said.”

Boosie Combats Snitching Allegations

On top of the text messages, Boosie combatted the allegations of snitching levied against him since his interview. He explained that the issue is entirely business-related, nothing to do with the streets. He questioned by people thought that it would be a good idea to handle it as if it was a feud between opps. “You want me to shoot a government lobbyist?” he said. 

Ultimately, Boosie doesn’t feel like he broke the code because he’s simply suing over a contractual dispute. Check out his responses and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Lul Pab’s Mom Breaks Silence After Lil Durk’s Not Guilty Verdict https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009742-lul-pab-mom-lil-durk-verdict-reaction Tue, 15 Sep 2026 16:22:49 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009742 Lul Pab's mom says she's happy the trial is over.

The post Lul Pab’s Mom Breaks Silence After Lil Durk’s Not Guilty Verdict appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

With the help of Brian Steel, Lil Durk did the impossible and beat the murder-for-hire charges laid against him last week. On Friday, a jury found Durk not guilty of all charges related to the murder of Lul Pab in Beverly Hills. And while most fans have been celebrating the legal victory, Pab’s mother seemingly wants to put this chapter behind her.

In a message shared on social media, Pab’s mother shared a brief message reacting to the verdict. “I’m not mad, sad, upset, or crying. I’m glad this is over!!!” she wrote, before adding, “Peace & Blessings… #LLPAB.”

Ultimately, it’s a message that emphasizes closure. Lul Pab was shot and killed in August 2022 in Beverly Hills. Prosecutors allege that Quando Rondo was the intended target of the shooting, which ultimately killed Pab.

Durk’s acquittal isn’t the end-all, be-all of the case, though. He’s currently facing another set of racketeering-related charges that claim the rapper is the head of a criminal organization the government calls Banks Gang Enterprise. The rapper is expected to stand trial for these charges on October 5th.

Lil Durk Found Not Guilty In Murder-For-Hire Case

This week, the rapper shared a message to the youth after his trial ended. 

“To the youth, I need y’all to hear me,” Durk said. “There were times in my life when I felt lost and couldn’t see beyond what was right in front of me. I know how deeply your environment and surroundings can influence the way you think, the choices you make, and what you believe is possible for your life, but they don’t have to determine who you become. Growth is real, and it’s never too late to choose a different direction.”

We will keep you posted on any further updates surrounding the trial.

Travis Scott Teases “GTA VI” Strip Club Collaboration https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009740-travis-scott-gta-vi-teaser Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:48:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009740 Travis Scott is reportedly going to be doing a collaboration with Rockstar Games on "GTA VI," and it's tied to the game's strip club.

Travis Scott is currently in the midst of a feud with Yeat, although it doesn’t appear as though he has much time for that. Yeat has issued a diss track, and Scott has yet to respond. Instead, he is focused on securing the bag with Rockstar Games as they prepare to release GTA VI on November 19.

While taking to Instagram this morning, Scott revealed that he is going to be part of the game. While we don’t know the exact nature of the collaboration, it appears as though it will have something to do with the game’s “Jack Of Hearts” strip club.

“Phase 1. NOW ITS TIME MY RETURN TO GAME GOTTA COME WITH RAGE AND ALOT OF DANCING LETS RIDE J… O. H….. to be continued See yall soon @rockstargames,” Scott wrote.

Travis Scott In GTA VI

Strip clubs have always been a large part of the Grand Theft Auto series, and that will be especially true in this new title. The game is set in Vice City, which is a fictionalized version of Miami. Scott’s inclusion in the game could very well be a character tied to the strip club, or it could be that his music will be featured in the game. Whatever the case may be, this will be an exciting prospect for hip-hop fans.

GTA has always featured hip-hop in its games, and it will be no exception in GTA VI. There is expected to be a Dirty South Classics radio station, which will pay homage to some of Southern hip-hop’s biggest legends. Meanwhile, like past games, fans should also expect a contemporary rap station. We already know Lil Wayne, Kodak Black, and Sexyy Red will have their music featured.

Let us know how excited you are for GTA VI, in the comments below.

Chicago artist reportedly responded to the murder of BloodHound Q50 over the weekend. On his IG story, he posted a photo of Q50 with the caption “We spend 50K today !!!!” He also said “Bet I be da last mf” and “Good day to b a f***ing reap.” On Monday, he followed this up with a new song called “Am I Wrong,” which appears to have nothing to do with the Q50 situation. Instead, this new track is a melodic ballad of sorts, in which YFG Fatso offers his perspective on the trials and tribulations he has faced in his life. The song’s timing has sparked strong reactions, with one commenter saying, “I’m so glad this song wasn’t about what I thought it was about.”

Release Date: September 11, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Am I Wrong

That Shit, I Know What Ain’t Real, Gotta See For Yourself, For Real
I Lost Some Bros Inside The Field, But We Signed Up For How We Live Though

I Tried Like Eight Times Out The Year, That Might Be God Telling Me Live More

Yella Beezy’s Capital Murder Trial Pushed Back https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009733-yella-beezy-capital-murder-trial-delay Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:10:50 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009733 Yella Beezy is set to stand trial for the murder for Mo3.

After the conviction of Kewon White for the murder of Mo3, Yella Beezy is set to stand trial for capital murder charges related to the “For Real” rapper’s death. However, his trial has been pushed back by over a month, according to Fox 4 News. The trial was initially supposed to start jury selection by Monday. Judge Chika Anyiam granted a continuance to the defence, largely because of issues related to their witnesses. Both the defense and prosecutors are coordinating to bring federal witnesses to court.

The defense said they needed more time because their expert witnesses wouldn’t be available for the next few weeks. Moreover, the defense requested the transcript from Kewon White’s trial before Yella Beezy is tried. The court reporter will need roughly 30 days to bring the transcript from White’s trial to the defense, who asked for another two weeks to review the documents. Prosecutors didn’t oppose the motion. 

Bryson “Boom” Paul reports that jury selection for Yella Beezy’s trial will begin on October 26th.

Yella Beezy Trial

Mo3 was shot and killed on Interstate 35 in Dallas in 2020 after he was ambushed. White was convicted of capital murder for the shooting and sentenced to life without parole. However, prosecutors accuse Yella Beezy of hiring White to carry out the shooting. They said the rapper paid $40K for the shooting. He’s pleaded not guilty and denied involvement in the case. 

There’s also a third defendant, Devin Brown, whom prosecutors allege was in the car when White killed Mo3. Brown is currently facing a capital murder charge related to the killing.

DJ Akademiks Stunned As Reddit Attempts To Solve BloodHound Q50 Murder https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009731-dj-akademiks-reddit-bloodhound-q50 Tue, 15 Sep 2026 14:57:28 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009731 The death of BloodHound Q50 has sparked Reddit investigations, and DJ Akademiks was stunned by what he was reading.

DJ Akademiks has found himself engrossed in the investigation surrounding the murder of BloodHound Q50. Over the weekend, the Chicago artist was shot and killed after being ambushed outside of a gas station convenience store. In surveillance footage, multiple men could be seen approaching the vehicle, firing dozens of shots into the driver’s side door.

The Chicago Police Department is currently investigating the murder. However, internet sleuths are trying to piece together their own investigation on platforms like X and Reddit. Of course, you should take these investigations with a grain of salt. Redditors tend to be overzealous with this kind of thing, and they don’t have access to the same resources as the police.

That did not stop DJ Akademiks from engaging with some of the materials that have been posted online so far. As you can clearly see, he was left incredulous at some of the alleged findings.

DJ Akademiks Reacts To BloodHound Q50 Situation

Meanwhile, the woman who was allegedly in the car with BloodHound Q50 at the time of the shooting, is claiming that the Tesla’s seatbelt safety feature contributed to his death.

“I am the girl that was in the passenger seat yall don’t know what the fck happened i didnt set sht up when he got in the car I told him to hurry up and pull off because when he was in the store dudes were walking around the car looking suspicious,” she wrote. “The car would not put off because of thr seat belt while he was trying to get the car in drive, I was looking out the back window and seen them running up after soon as I seen them and heard shots, I got out fast as I could and ran screaming for help. That was my homie my lover and my unborn baby father put some f*ckn respect on me and his life.”

This remains an active investigation. Stay tuned to HNHH for updates as we will continue to bring you the latest information.

BloodHound Q50’s murder is currently under investigation by the Chicago Police Department. The footage from his death is harrowing, as it portrays multiple men approaching his Tesla, firing dozens of shots at the driver’s side door.

The Chicago artist had gone inside a gas station convenience store prior to the shooting. According to the woman who was in the car with him at the time, men approached her in the vehicle, saying, “This is gonna be your man’s last night alive.” This is according to an account given to the Chicago Sun-Times.

On Instagram, the woman who was allegedly in the car made another statement, this time putting partial blame on BloodHound Q50’s Tesla. As she explains, the Tesla allegedly wouldn’t go into drive as the artist didn’t have his seat belt on. The safety feature activated and kept him in park as the men ran up on him.

Jhené Aiko has officially released her new album Westside Whimsy with features from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Larry June, and Ab-Soul. In fact, on the song “Love Bomb,” we get to hear Ab-Soul, albeit in a limited capacity. On this track, he offers background vocals and ad-libs that are unmistakable. Meanwhile, Aiko offers up a reserved performance in which she keeps her voice in its lower register. It’s more of a rap performance than an R&B one, although this suits the production quite nicely. Clearly, Aiko had no issues with experimentation when preparing this new project.

Release Date: September 11, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Westside Whimsy

Quotable Lyrics from Love Bomb

I ain’t even like you, put you in the friendzone
You stood on your ten toes, now you in the endzone
That wasn’t the end goal, I had to respect that
Startin’ to regret that, damn

Drake Supposedly Spent Eight Figures On “ICEMAN” Rollout https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1009720-drake-iceman-rollout-cost Tue, 15 Sep 2026 13:20:03 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1009720 Drake dropped one of his best albums in years with "ICEMAN," and according to DJ Akademiks, the rollout was not cheap.

Drake is going to be delivering his “FOMO” film tonight, and there is no denying that fans are intrigued. Some are curious as to whether or not this film will bring about new music, or if it will just be a film based around Drizzy’s ICEMAN summer.

Speaking of ICEMAN, the album remains one of the best of the year so far. If the year were to end right now, there are plenty of fans who would put ICEMAN at the very top of their lists. It makes sense. After all, the album had a number one hit in “Janice STFU.” Furthermore, the project features some of Drake’s best beats, melodies, and raps in quite some time.

During the ICEMAN rollout, we got music videos for the vast majority of the songs, and we also got four different highly-produced livestreams. As DJ Akademiks confirms, this did not come cheap. In fact, it is believed that Drake spent upwards of $12 million on the ICEMAN rollout, and it all came out of his own pocket.

Drake’s ICEMAN Rollout Cost A Pretty Penny

Ultimately, the ICEMAN rollout was money well spent considering it shifted the narrative around Drake. After his battle with Kendrick Lamar, many fans had counted him out. Now, it remains clear that on a commercial basis, Drake remains at the top of the rap game.

With this latest “FOMO” rollout, we will see just how ambitious Drake is right now. Whether or not this short film is setting up a new tour or a new album remains to be seen.

Either way, we will be covering the “FOMO” livestream tonight, so stay tuned to HNHH and hang out with us as we experience the film together.

Drake is going to be hosting his “FOMO” livestream tonight, and fans are eager to see what is going to be in store here. Over the weekend, the artist revealed that this was going to be a “not so short” film. What that means has yet to be determined.

Given the fact that this is going to be shown via YouTube, we imagine that it could be over an hour, although that has not been confirmed. What we do know is that Drake has been doing a lot of filming as of late, and it appears as though the footage was for this new film.

Going into “FOMO,” there were some fans out there who thought that Drake could be preparing some kind of new album. However, that is not the case; or at least it doesn’t seem that way.

Drake Is Giving Fans “FOMO”

So what do we know about the livestream? Well, we know that it is going to be live on Drake’s YouTube page as of tonight, September 15, at 9 PM EST. That is 6 PM for those who are living on the West Coast. You will also be able to watch on Spotify and Apple.

When Drake was dropping his ICEMAN livestreams, he racked up a ton of views. One has to assume that the same will happen here for the “FOMO” stream. At the end of the day, Drake remains one of the biggest artists in the entire world. That hasn’t changed, even after taking an L to Kendrick Lamar in 2024.

Whenever Drake does something or releases something, there is a large level of intrigue from both his fans and his haters. That said, “FOMO” is shaping up to be another massive event from the Canadian megastar.
