Either way, Cochise continues to evolve his sound, and he is proving time and time again that he can reinvent the wheel.

GTA VI is releasing in three weeks from now, and fans could not be any more excited. On Thursday, Rockstar Games put out a new song from the game’s original score. Of course, the score is being produced by the legendary electronic duo, Justice. This new song is called “Pusher,” and it features another massive star, Gesaffelstein. It is a track that sounds as though it was created specifically for an action-packed mission. A mission where there would be lots of blasting and even more drug-running. The electronic nightclub vibe of the song matches the theme of Vice City, and we are eager to hear it in game.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul Clowns Nicki Minaj After Rapper Calls Her An “Evil Woman” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1014821-kathy-hochul-nicki-minaj-comments Thu, 29 Oct 2026 13:08:17 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1014821 Nicki Minaj is currently under fire for her support of Donald Trump, and her latest attack on New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

The post New York Governor Kathy Hochul Clowns Nicki Minaj After Rapper Calls Her An “Evil Woman” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Nicki Minaj has found herself wrapped up in President Donald Trump’s plans to win the midterms for Republicans. They are currently way down in the polls across the country, and Trump is getting desperate concerning voter turnout.

This past weekend, Minaj was seen campaigning with Trump, and it was quite the sight to behold for all the wrong reasons. Now, with the midterms just a few days away, Minaj is aiming at New York Governor Kathy Hochul. She is even going so far as to call her “evil.”

“Kathy Hochul is an evil woman,” Minaj wrote. “The Democratic Party should forfeit her seat because even if she wins, she will be of great consequence to them. Downward spiral for her. She will not escape God’s wrath. She did not denounce evil when she had the chance.”

These comments are not surprising coming from Nicki Minaj. Since her MAGA turn, she has been calling Democrats evil whenever she has an opportunity to do so.

That said, Kathy Hochul was eventually asked about these comments, and she did not hesitate to clap back. In the kindest terms possible, Hochul told Nicki to go touch some grass.

Kathy Hochul Responds

“And stop going to Trump rallies, it’s kinda poisoning your mind,” the governor added.

Hochul is leading her opponent Bruce Blakeman by 11 points in the polls heading into Tuesday’s election. Ultimately, New York has been a Democratic stronghold for decades. Given this information, a Hochul blowout would not be a surprise.

The success of progressives like Zohran Mamdani in New York City has only helped to bolster the Democrats’ standing in the state. Given this information, it is unlikely that Minaj’s latest comments have any effect on the outcome of the election.

Kanye West’s Ableist Tweets About JAY-Z’s Kids Resurface As Super Bowl Halftime Show Talks Heat Up https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1014818-kanye-west-ableist-tweets-jay-z-kids Thu, 29 Oct 2026 12:53:32 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1014818 Some believe Kanye West and JAY-Z will appear on stage at the Super Bowl, but Ye's old tweets suggest otherwise.

With JAY-Z performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February, there have been all kinds of theories about who he will bring out. Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, and Pharrell almost seem like locks. However, there are some who believe Hov and Kanye West will finally patch things up, once and for all.

On The Joe Budden Podcast, Joe and his co-hosts agreed that Jay and Ye will bury the hatchet. The only person who truly disagreed was Marc Lamont Hill. He felt Ye’s past comments about JAY-Z’s kids were beyond the pale. Furthermore, the past anti-semitism will likely be shot down by the NFL and its owners.

Over on X, fans are even more skeptical about Ye ever joining JAY-Z on stage. One account even shared Ye’s old tweets from last year, in which he made ableist comments about JAY-Z’s children.

Kanye West Tweets Resurface

These comments aren’t even that old. They happened about a year and a half ago. Granted, this was before Ye eventually apologized for all of his wrongdoings. However, the fact remains that these wounds are still fresh, and there is no guarantee that Hov would forgive this so soon. In fact, one can make the argument that he doesn’t have to forgive these comments at all. They’re that bad.

A JAY-Z and Kanye West Super Bowl Halftime Show collaboration is pure fantasy at this point. While it would certainly be a pleasant surprise, it is hard to fathom something like this happening at this juncture.

While we could be wrong, one has to look at the situation in totality. From Ye’s anti-semitism to his personal attacks on JAY-Z, there is a perfect storm for keeping Ye off that stage.

When Drake posts on Instagram, expect a moody caption that mimics song lyrics. It’s been his signature for years, and after turning 40 over the weekend, he has no plans to slow down anytime soon.

Late last night, the megastar took to his Instagram account and posted a plethora of photos from his weekend. This includes some of his viral outfits, which have been clowned incessantly by both his fans and most fervent haters.

That said, Drake made sure to caption his post the only way he knows how. These poetic bars are not from a song. They’re straight off the dome, and speak to how he has been feeling lately.

Drake Drops A Photo Dump

“I’m starting to think I’m no fun,” Drake began. “I type lol but don’t crack a smile for nun. Nothing to say to anyone and everything I’ve said I’ve done. It’s still US over all of them like I’m patriotic as f**k.”

Drake had himself a ball while celebrating his birthday. On Friday and Saturday, he found himself amongst some of his favorite people. This includes media personalities, day one friends, and even family members.

Meanwhile, he has continued the celebrations in Houston this week. He even had the Roastmaster General Jeff Ross roast him. It’s not Jim Carrey, but it is certainly a start.

For Drake, 2026 has been a year to celebrate. He can firmly say he is back at the top of the rap game. As for 2027, he has big plans, especially with an upcoming World Tour, that is surely going to be sold out at every stop.

Lil Durk Gets Bail Support From Former Cook County Prosecutor Kim Foxx https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1014808-lil-durk-bail-letter-kim-foxx Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:30:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1014808 After serving eight years as Chicago's top prosecutor, Kim Foxx is urging a federal judge to reconsider Lil Durk's detention.

The post Lil Durk Gets Bail Support From Former Cook County Prosecutor Kim Foxx appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

The former prosecutor who once oversaw criminal cases across Chicago believes Lil Durk should be allowed to return home while awaiting his next federal trial. Kimberly Foxx, who served as Cook County State’s Attorney for eight years, has joined the growing number of people urging a Los Angeles judge to reconsider the rapper’s detention. Her argument focuses on the jury verdict that cleared him of murder-for-hire charges in September.

In an Oct. 19 letter addressed to U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald, Foxx emphasized that Durk has spent nearly two years in federal custody despite being acquitted of every charge presented during his first trial. She also noted that the remaining charges were brought long after his initial arrest. “Given his acquittal and that presumption, I believe he should be released on reasonable conditions set by the Court,” she wrote.

Foxx’s letter was included as Exhibit E in the Oct. 27 filing supporting Durk’s latest bond request. Unlike the personal accounts submitted by Jay-Z and J. Cole, her appeal relies on her experience as a prosecutor and the legal significance she believes the acquittal should carry.

Lil Durk’s Attorneys Offer New Terms For His Release

Durk’s legal team is trying to persuade Fitzgerald that circumstances have changed since the court denied his previous bail request. Although the rapper was found not guilty of five counts in September, he still faces separate murder-related racketeering and firearms charges. He has pleaded not guilty, and his next trial is scheduled for August 30, 2027.

His attorneys have proposed a substantial financial package that could put his future music earnings at risk if he violates the terms of release. As detailed in court filings reviewed by Complex, the offer includes royalties and publishing interests, as well as potential touring income. Sony Music Entertainment has agreed to guarantee an appearance bond of up to $1 million.

Foxx is among several prominent figures who submitted letters to the court, though her background sets her apart from the entertainment-industry supporters. Jay-Z and J. Cole spoke about their personal experiences with Durk, while Andrea Robinson, whose son Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson was killed in the shooting examined during his first trial, wrote that her family wouldn’t object to bond if the judge considered it appropriate.

Fitzgerald previously denied Durk’s release over concerns about flight risk and public safety. Prosecutors continue to oppose bond, leaving the judge to decide whether the September verdict and proposed financial guarantees justify reconsidering that decision. The matter is scheduled for a Nov. 4 hearing, more than nine months before Durk’s next trial is set to begin.

J.

Cole explains why responding to the feud felt complicated.

The post J. Cole Reveals Why Kendrick Lamar-Drake Beef Put Him In A Tough Spot appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Mark Pitts had two very different reactions to J. Cole’s public apology to Kendrick Lamar in 2024. As a mentor who’d helped guide the rapper’s career for nearly two decades, he respected the decision. As a Hip Hop fan who’d been anticipating a lyrical showdown, he couldn’t understand why Cole was walking away. Their differing perspectives became a point of discussion during a new interview, where Cole also admitted he hadn’t been entirely honest with Pitts about what he was experiencing behind the scenes.

Sitting down with GQ, Cole recalled feeling overwhelmed as his involvement in Drake and Kendrick’s feud intensified. He’d already recorded with Kendrick for The Fall-Off, leaving him in an uncomfortable position when the Compton rapper took aim at Drake and Cole on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” Although Pitts reached out to check on him, Cole admitted he kept much of his frustration to himself.

“I got to respond without responding, but still try to save face,” Cole recalled thinking at the time. He also explained that he’d been creatively exhausted after working on The Fall-Off for years. Believing the album was finished, he’d started entertaining retirement and struggled to find inspiration. The pressure eventually resulted in “7 Minute Drill,” Cole’s response to Kendrick on his April 2024 project Might Delete Later. However, Pitts wasn’t particularly impressed with what he heard. He remembered wanting a stronger record because he could tell Cole wasn’t fully invested in the confrontation.

Mark Pitts Recalls J. Cole’s Unexpected Apology To Kendrick Lamar

Pitts decided against contacting Cole immediately, choosing to let him finish his Dreamville Festival weekend. Before they could discuss the record, Cole surprised audiences by apologizing to Kendrick onstage and subsequently removing “7 Minute Drill” from streaming services. “As a man, I was like, ‘I’m proud of you,'” Pitts recalled telling Cole. “But right now as a fan, what the fuck are you doing?”

Despite his initial surprise, Pitts maintained that Cole had made the right decision. He believed the criticism would eventually pass and that people would come to appreciate his willingness to walk away from a confrontation he didn’t believe in.

The conversation adds another perspective to a decision Cole has revisited several times this year. In a March interview with Apple Music, he said he realized he’d misrepresented his feelings about Kendrick about an hour before his Dreamville performance. He also previously revealed that Kendrick had recorded two songs for The Fall-Off before the feud disrupted his plans.

Cole acknowledged that he could’ve leaned on Pitts more during that period. Rather than explain how much the situation weighed on him, he assured his mentor everything was under control. Pitts, who has spent years serving as the rapper’s sounding board, suggested the apology ultimately matched the person he’d always known Cole to be, even if it wasn’t the outcome Rap fans expected.

Tia Kemp Calls 50 Cent A “Rat” After Restraining Order https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1014802-50-cent-tia-kemp-restraing-order-response Wed, 28 Oct 2026 23:57:59 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1014802 A Florida judge ordered her to avoid contacting Sire, but Tia Kemp continued taking shots at 50 Cent through her Instagram Stories.

The post Tia Kemp Calls 50 Cent A “Rat” After Restraining Order appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Getting a temporary restraining order hasn’t stopped Tia Kemp from taking shots at 50 Cent. Instead, the news of his legal victory became fresh material for her Instagram Stories on Wednesday (Oct. 28), where she responded with rat emojis and insults aimed at the rapper. One post even used a headline announcing the court’s decision as the backdrop for her latest round of trolling.

Kemp reposted a Hollywood Unlocked graphic reporting that 50 had secured a temporary protection order, covering his photograph with rat emojis. Across the top, she wrote, “RAT RAT RAT,” followed by laughing emojis and an obscene gesture. Another Story continued the name-calling, referring to the rapper as “15cents” alongside more rat emojis.

Her insults weren’t limited to 50, either. In a separate text post, Kemp wrote, “Hurtis & Lil Sleezer,” before making another derogatory remark involving his son and the teenager’s mother, Daphne Joy. She jokingly attributed the words to Maya Angelou, adding a bizarre literary reference to an already heated confrontation.

Tia Kemp Continues Mocking 50 Cent After Court Order

The posts arrived hours after TMZ reported that a Miami-Dade County judge had granted 50’s request for a temporary injunction protecting his 14-year-old son, Sire. The order, issued Monday (Oct. 26), requires Kemp to remain at least 500 feet away from the teenager and prohibits direct or indirect contact with him, including through social media. She’s also prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition while the order is in effect.

The legal dispute grew out of 50’s public comments about William Roberts III, Kemp’s adult son with Rick Ross, who was allegedly pistol-whipped near his Florida university earlier this month. After 50 mocked the incident and offered support to the accused attacker, Kemp retaliated with personal remarks about his family.

In his petition, 50 accused Kemp of repeatedly targeting Sire with derogatory claims about his developmental health. He also alleged that she posted messages about the teenager alongside sexually explicit material. Kemp has argued that 50 started their disagreement and shouldn’t be surprised when she responds to his attacks.

The temporary injunction is separate from a federal lawsuit in California, where 50 is seeking damages over Kemp’s alleged statements concerning Sire. He previously warned her on Instagram that her “gangster granny act” wouldn’t work and declared there would be “no white flags.”

Kemp’s latest Stories suggest she’s still willing to publicly antagonize the rapper despite the legal consequences. It hasn’t been established whether any of the new posts will become an issue in court. The temporary injunction is scheduled to expire Nov. 3, when both sides are expected to appear before a judge to determine whether the restrictions should remain in place.
