Khalifa picked up running earlier this summer, and it’s clearly stuck. He first mentioned it in late July after knocking out five miles on vacation, then three the day before. Since then, his mileage has climbed fast.

The Vaporfly 4 is Nike’s top-tier racing shoe, built for serious mileage. It runs on ZoomX foam paired with a full-length carbon fiber Flyplate. That combination is designed to return energy with every stride, making it a popular pick among competitive marathoners.

At 190 grams for a men’s size 10, it’s the lightest Vaporfly Nike has released yet. A 35mm heel and 29mm forefoot stack keep things cushioned without adding bulk. Retail runs $260, putting it in performance racing territory rather than casual training shoe range.

Khalifa running a hot-weather session in a shoe built for race day says a lot about how far he’s already taken this new hobby.

Wiz Khalifa’s Running Shoes

Khalifa’s running posts have become something of a moment online. His captions mix genuine running stats with his usual sense of humor, including one post joking about ripping a bong before ripping off five miles. That combination has made his journey easy to follow and hard to ignore.

His times have improved fast too. Brands have taken notice, with Nike Running, Coros, and Strava all showing up in his comments within days of his first running post.

He’s not alone in this shift either because Gunna has also built out his own Wunna Run 5K series. Hip-hop’s relationship with running has quietly grown over the past couple of years.

Khalifa hasn’t announced any race plans yet, but the numbers suggest something bigger could be coming. Overall given how quickly he’s progressed, a marathon doesn’t feel far off.

The style code is HV0823-002. The colorway comes listed as Black, Metallic Silver, Metallic Silver, and Black. It’s a blacked-out build that leans on texture instead of loud color blocking. It’s a minimal shoe, but the details do the talking.

Black leatber covers most of the upper and the signature Air Jordan 4 mesh panels stay intact underneath. Also that combination keeps the shoe rooted in the model’s classic silhouette.

Fake alligator overlays wrap the toe box and wing eyelets. That style texture gives the shoe a more premium feel than a standard colorway. Metallic silver accents show up around the eyelets, tongue branding, heel Jumpman, and midsole plate.

The overall look draws comparisons to the 1989 “White Thunder” colorway. Jordan Brand has clearly leaned into that same black-and-light contrast here. Finally a black outsole finishes things off, letting the texture and silver hits stand out.

Air Jordan 4 “Spotlight”

The “Spotlight” name fits the shoe’s whole presentation well. Between the gator texture and the shine of the accents, it’s built to stand out under bright lights. That kind of stage-ready look brings to mind Michael Jackson’s own flair for shine during his performances.

The Air Jordan 4 continues to dominate Jordan Brand’s release calendar regardless of the name. “Spotlight” joins an already packed 2027 lineup that includes “Tour Yellow,” “Fire Red,” and Nigel Sylvester’s “Brick After Brick.” Very few models see this much attention release after release.

Women’s-exclusive Air Jordan 4 colorways have become a bigger focus in recent years. Some fans have even argued Jordan Brand saves its best textures and finishes for these releases specifically. The gator detailing here fits right into that pattern.

This colorway also follows the buzz created by the “Black Cat” Air Jordan 4 line. Given how well that theme has performed, “Spotlight” looks positioned to do the same.

With release date and pricing now locked in, all that’s left is seeing official images once Jordan Brand makes things official.

The post Air Jordan 4 “Spotlight” Gets Confirmed Release Date appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Journalist Meghann Cuniff, who has been covering the trial from the courtroom, reported that the jury acquitted Durk on every count. His co-defendants Deandre “OTF DeDe” Wilson and David “Browneyez” Lindsey were convicted of stalking and stalking conspiracy but found not guilty of murder-for-hire.

Durk, whose legal name is Durk Banks, had maintained his innocence as prosecutors accused him of financing and directing a 2022 plot to kill Quando Rondo. Rondo survived the Los Angeles shooting, while his cousin Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson was killed. Additionally, while this is a celebratory moment for Durk and his supporters, the rapper will reportedly remain incarcerated as he fights a racketeering case. Prosecutors allege OTF operated as a criminal enterprise tied to violence and other illegal activity, allegations Durk has denied. That case was severed from the murder-for-hire trial and will reportedly make its way to court on October 5.

Hip Hop Reacts To Lil Durk’s Acquittal

DJ Akademiks was livestreaming as the verdict came down and appeared stunned when he learned Durk had beaten every charge. Akademiks became an unexpected part of the trial itself after prosecutors used a clip from his 2023 interview with Durk during closing arguments, making his live reaction one of the more fitting responses to the news.

G Herbo and Doe Boy both shared videos celebrating the acquittal, joining a wave of Durk’s peers who had followed the trial as deliberations stretched into a third day. Drake kept his response simple, sharing a selfie with Durk to his Instagram Story. 21 Savage did the same with a photo of the two rappers together. Ye reposted news of the not-guilty verdict, while Meek Mill, who publicly defended Durk during the trial, reacted with a string of praying hands emojis.

Young Thug offered one of the more cryptic responses, writing, “Thank me later.” Cordae turned his attention toward Durk’s defense team by comparing attorney Brian Steel to famed defense lawyer Johnnie Cochran. 50 Cent also praised Durk’s attorney Drew Findling following the verdict.

The acquittal closes the murder-for-hire case against Durk after prosecutors spent weeks arguing that he financed and directed the 2022 attack targeting Quando Rondo. His legal situation is not completely over, however. Separate racketeering charges added earlier this year were severed from this trial in July and remain pending. (Complex)

For Friday evening, though, the response throughout Hip Hop was centered on the five words Durk’s supporters had been waiting to hear: not guilty on all counts.

The controversy began after Macklemore used his opening set on Ed Sheeran’s tour at MetLife Stadium to call for a “Free Palestine” and perform “Hind’s Hall” as images from Gaza appeared behind him. His remarks drew criticism from several Jewish advocacy groups, including StopAntisemitism, which accused him of turning the concert into an anti-Israel political event. Pink later reposted the organization’s message to her Instagram Stories without adding her own explanation.

Critics quickly read the repost as an endorsement of everything StopAntisemitism had written, including its objections to Macklemore’s use of “Free Palestine” and his accusations against Israel. Pink then responded to some of the blowback with a string of memes rather than clarifying her position. She now says that only made the situation worse.

“I did what I do when I’m hurt, which is post snarky memes and act like I’m fine,” she wrote Friday (Sept. 11). “That’s on me. A repost isn’t a statement, and a meme isn’t a spine.” Pink acknowledged that she would not have chosen all of the language in the original post. She also said she would rather face disagreement over her own beliefs than continue having someone else’s words treated as hers.

Pink Says Supporting Palestinians And Condemning Hamas Are Not In Conflict

Much of Pink’s statement dealt with the assumptions she believes people made after learning or being reminded that she is Jewish. “I was born a Jew. I didn’t pick it, and I’ve never hidden it,” she wrote. “And this week a whole lot of people decided what I believe without asking me, without checking a single thing I’ve ever said or done.”

She then returned to the position she says she has held since October 2023. Pink called Hamas a terrorist organization while also stating that “Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and their aspirations.” She added that protecting innocent people should come before political allegiance and condemned celebrating the death of children on either side.

Her comments are consistent with the humanitarian work she cited in the statement. Pink has served as a UNICEF ambassador since 2015 after traveling with the organization to Haiti, where she visited programs addressing childhood malnutrition. UNICEF continues to list her as an ambassador focused on children’s health and nutrition.

She stopped short of adopting the language Macklemore used from the stage, however. “I’m not going to litigate a complex war in an Instagram caption, and I’m not going to recite anybody’s slogan to earn back a follower,” Pink wrote. Moreover, Macklemore has stood by his own comments. After an Israeli-American Council petition called for his removal from Sheeran’s tour, he said his message was about equal treatment and clarified that his criticism of the Israeli government was not criticism of Jewish people.

“Of course I don’t speak for Israel, or for any government,” Pink wrote. “I never have.” She ended by saying she plans to continue speaking publicly, but in her own words rather than through reposts that leave her position open to interpretation.

Durk and his co-defendants were facing five charges, including conspiracy to commit stalking, stalking using a dangerous weapon, stalking causing death, conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities in a murder-for-hire resulting in death, and use of interstate commerce facilities in a murder for hire resulting in death.

According to Meghann Cuniff, it was a complete acquittal for Durk. However, his codefendants OTF Dede (Deandre Wilson) and David Lindsey were convicted on all three stalking counts. They were found not guilty of murder-for-hire.

This is a major legal victory for Lil Durk, who was facing life in prison if convicted. As Blackshire reports, there was hugging and crying outside of the courtroom when the verdict came in.

Lil Durk Verdict Is In

Now that Lil Durk has been found not guilty, it is expected that he will face another trial, this time involving racketeering charges that the prosecution wanted to tack onto this most recent case. However, the judge eventually shot that motion down and severed the charges. The racketeering case will be fought in Chicago.

Of course, this is a battle that will be fought in the future. Right now, there is elation in the courtroom as Durk beat all five of the charges against him. Unfortunately for Durk and his family, he will remain behind bars until his RICO case. That trial will begin on October 5, according to Trap Lore Ross.

Wilson and Lindsey still need to be sentenced for their stalking convictions, although that will take place at a later time.

This remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for updates, as we will be sure to bring them to you.

The encounter appears to have been building for some time. Shyne said he had previously sent congratulations to 50 through the director of Sean Combs: The Reckoning, the Netflix documentary series executive produced by the G-Unit founder. By the time they met in person, Shyne said they had already begun putting their history behind them.

He described his approach now as that of an elder statesman who would rather extend olive branches than keep old conflicts alive. The former Belize opposition leader framed the reunion as an example of where Hip Hop can go when artists who once battled each other decide they no longer need the feud. Meanwhile, 50 sounded equally ready to move on. Reacting to Shyne’s comments on Instagram, he praised his former rival’s evolution and said he was impressed by the direction his life had taken. He even floated visiting Belize when his schedule allows.

50 Cent And Shyne’s Beef Goes Back More Than 20 Years

Their history dates to 2003, when 50 took a shot at Shyne during a Funkmaster Flex freestyle while the Brooklyn rapper was incarcerated. At the time, rumors were circulating that Irv Gotti was interested in signing Shyne, putting him within range of 50’s already heated war with Murder Inc.

Shyne fired back the following year with “For the Record,” recorded over a prison phone and released on Godfather Buried Alive. The diss questioned 50’s street credibility and included threats that kept the feud alive even though the two men were nowhere near each other physically.

Their lives took very different directions in the years that followed. 50 expanded from music into television, film, and business, while Shyne returned to Belize after his 2009 deportation and eventually entered politics. He later served as leader of Belize’s United Democratic Party and Leader of the Opposition before losing his parliamentary seat in the country’s 2025 election.

During the new episode, titled “The Concrete Civil War,” Yachty apologized for how he spoke to Mitch during their infamous 2024 sit-down with Key Glock. According to Complex, he admitted that his tone and choice of words could have come across as embarrassing and disrespectful, even if hurting his longtime friend was never his intention.

“I wanna issue an apology to you,” Yachty told him before acknowledging that viewers did not understand the depth of their friendship. He also told Mitch that the way he handled the conversation was not how someone should treat a friend or brother. Mitch accepted the apology and said hearing it directly meant more than the internet debate that followed their original argument. His bigger frustration, he explained, was that a disagreement between real-life friends eventually became public content instead of something they handled privately.

Lil Yachty And Mitch’s Fallout Nearly Ended “A Safe Place”

The trouble started during the August 2024 Key Glock episode. While discussing work and financial responsibility, Yachty questioned what Mitch would be doing without him and later argued that he had put significant money in his friend’s pocket. Clips from the exchange quickly spread, with viewers accusing Yachty of humiliating his co-host in front of their guest.

The reaction followed them off the podcast. Yachty later went on Instagram Live and criticized Mitch for not publicly defending him as the clips circulated. Weeks later, Mitch suggested the show might be finished when a fan asked if it would return. However, A Safe Place eventually released episodes with Lil Baby in December 2024 and Gervonta Davis in February 2025, but Mitch was absent from those installments.

The reunion also brought another unresolved relationship back to the table. Karrahbooo joined the episode after reconciling with Yachty following their own ugly 2024 split from Concrete Boys. Their conversation over songwriting credits became heated, with the former collaborators disagreeing over how much material Yachty had written for her.

Karrahbooo had already confirmed that they had repaired their relationship enough to record together again. Her new project NOT DA 2 includes Yachty on the aptly titled “Patched It Up,” and she recently said that taking personal disputes to the internet was one of the biggest mistakes she made during their fallout.

Kid Cudi Is Building Out His Filmmaking Slate

Wrong Number will be Cudi’s second feature as a director. He completed production earlier this year on Doe, a drama he also wrote and stars in about a man experiencing homelessness and addiction over the course of 24 hours in Los Angeles. Deadline previously reported that Mark Webber, Leah McNamara, Brandon Scott and Brandon Perea co-star.

Cudi teased the follow-up in August without revealing the title at the time. He described the project as a horror thriller with comedy mixed in and said he planned to release both films in 2027. Acting has already become a steady second lane for Cudi, whose recent credits include Ti West’s X franchise and Knuckles. He also recently wrapped a lead role in the supernatural thriller Pathetic Fallacy alongside Jessica Rothe, Travis Fimmel and Natasha Lyonne.

Ferreira, best known for Euphoria and Jordan Peele’s Nope, joins Cudi as the film’s other lead. A release date for Wrong Number has not yet been announced, but Cudi has said he expects his second directorial effort to arrive in late summer 2027.

Over the years, it has also become one of the most interesting canvases in Jordan Brand’s catalog. From manga artists and streetball tournaments to one of hip-hop’s biggest producers and a French football club, the AJ6 has attracted a diverse range of collaborations.

Here are the 10 best collaborations the silhouette has ever seen.

10. Slam Dunk x Air Jordan 6

The Slam Dunk manga was one of the most important ways of spreading basketball culture across Asia in the 1990s. Its creator, Takehiko Inoue, credited Michael Jordan as the inspiration for his love of basketball and the series itself.

The shoe features an all-red varsity upper covered in tonal 3M illustrations pulled directly from the manga’s 31 volumes, with Sakuragi’s number 10 stitched on the heel in place of Jordan’s usual 23. A translucent heel tab and icy outsole complete the build.

It was released in 2014 at $250 and remains one of the most culturally significant Jordan Brand collabs ever produced outside of the US

9. Quai 54 x Air Jordan 6

Quai 54 is the biggest streetball tournament in the world, held annually in Paris and deeply tied to basketball’s global cultural reach. Jordan Brand has been a partner of the event. The 2020 collection produced two of the most visually interesting AJ6s in the silhouette’s collab history.

The colorway shown here features a clean sail leather upper with bold geometric print panels in purple, blue, and orange across both sides of the shoe. The right shoe swaps the standard Jumpman logo for Quai 54 graphics, a detail that rewards the people who look closely.

It dropped August 8th, 2020 for $200. The tournament itself couldn’t happen that year due to COVID, which gave the release an extra layer of meaning as a tribute to what the pandemic took away.

8. Social Status x Air Jordan 6 “Pony Hair”

Social Status is a Charlotte-based boutique, and when the 2019 NBA All-Star Game came to Charlotte, they teamed up on an AJ6. The result was one of the more unconventional collab builds the silhouette has ever seen.

A black snakeskin upper serves as the base, with pony hair overlays covering the toe box, sides, and heel. Dark purple hits the lace lock, Jumpman tongue, heel pull tab, and midsole for contrast.

The whole design draws from MJ’s “Black Cat” alter ego. It first released at Social Status on February 14, 2019, during All-Star Weekend before hitting SNKRS for $250. It’s also a shoe that divides opinion every time it comes up, which is exactly what makes it worth talking about.

7. Awake NY x Air Jordan 6

Angelo Baque has been one of the more interesting creative voices in the Jordan Brand collab space for several years. The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 pack is his most ambitious project yet. The “Blueberry” colorway layers midnight navy, royal, and light blue across the upper.

Infrared 23 stitching cuts through the design from nearly every angle, giving it a sharper finish. Saffiano leather on the heel overlays adds a luxury fashion reference without being heavy-handed about it.

The pair dropped via an Awake NY raffle in August. Around 25,000 pairs were available for the Blueberry colorway. A pink version released alongside it as an Awake exclusive. Together, the 2 colorways pushed the AJ6 into new creative territory without losing sight of the original.

6. Gatorade x Air Jordan 6 “Be Like Mike”

The “Be Like Mike” campaign debuted in August 1991 and became one of the most iconic sports marketing moments of all time. 26 years later, Gatorade and Jordan Brand finally put it on a shoe.

The Air Jordan 6 was the natural choice since it’s the exact silhouette MJ wore during the original commercial. The white leather upper with team orange overlays references the classic “Carmine” colorway while keeping the Gatorade color story intact.

Green Gatorade lightning bolt logos hit the lace locks and insoles throughout. “If I Could Be” is stitched on the inner tongue as a nod to the campaign’s signature song. It retailed for $190 in late 2017 alongside a full apparel collection.

5. Aleali May x Air Jordan 6 “Millennial Pink”

Aleali May is a Los Angeles-based stylist and fashion insider who built a strong collab track record with Jordan Brand before this shoe ever dropped. Her first 2 collabs were Air Jordan 1s, so the jump to the AJ6 was interesting.

The shoe first appeared as a friends-and-family exclusive in 2017 before Jordan Brand brought it to retail. A rust pink upper covers the entire build, with bright crimson accents on the heel tab, Jumpman logos, and midsole mountain peaks.

A translucent outsole finishes it off cleanly. It was released in women’s sizing in early 2019 at $190. The colorway pushed the AJ6 into a space it had never really occupied before.

4. Doernbecher x Air Jordan 6

The Doernbecher Freestyle program is one of the most meaningful things Nike does every year. It gives patients at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital the chance to design their own signature sneakers, with proceeds going directly to the hospital.

The 2009 Air Jordan 6 was designed by then 12-year-old Jordan Dark, who was battling cancer at the time. He drew from his love of the Atlanta Braves and his own high school colors to create a navy suede build with red and gold accents throughout.

The dates “06/08” and “04/09” are embossed on the side panel, marking the first and last days of his chemotherapy. Jordan Dark was cancer-free by the time the shoe was released. It returned for the program’s 15th anniversary in 2019.

3. PSG x Air Jordan 6

Paris Saint-Germain and Jordan Brand announced their partnership in 2018, and the Air Jordan 6 was the collab that proved the relationship had real creative legs.

The iron grey and black upper draws its color blocking directly from the Air Jordan 6 “Carmine,” with infrared accents replacing the original red. PSG medallion branding sits on the heel; “PANAME” which is a local nickname for Paris, is stitched under each heel pull tab, and the lace locks read “PARIS” and “75,” the city’s zip code.

The insoles carry PSG’s slogan “ICI C’EST PARIS.” It was released in summer 2019 at $225 and was a strong seller across both the European and US markets.

2. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 6 “Olive”

Travis Scott debuted this shoe during his Super Bowl LIII halftime performance in February 2019, and it immediately became one of the most anticipated Jordan collabs of the year. The medium olive suede and upper brought a military, utilitarian feel to the AJ6 that nobody had seen on the silhouette before.

The canvas stash pocket on the ankle collar was a detail that defined the whole shoe, borrowed from his Air Jordan 1 collab and made even more prominent here. Hidden Cactus Jack branding sits inside the pocket flap.

University red accents hit the lace locks and heel branding, while a glow-in-the-dark translucent outsole and 3M reflective details underneath the perforations complete the build. It released in October 2019 at $250 and sold out immediately.

1. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 6 “British Khaki”

The “British Khaki” improved on everything the “Olive” had already done right. Released on April 30, 2021, Travis Scott’s birthday, to celebrate the Air Jordan 6’s 30th anniversary, the shoe doubled down on the stash pocket concept by adding one on both sides.

The entire upper is dressed in a warm khaki suede with slightly darker brown mesh at the tongue. Bright crimson hits the Nike Air and Cactus Jack branding on the heels, breaking up the tonal build in exactly the right place.

A glow-in-the-dark outsole, translucent heel tabs, and a co-branded outsole print complete it. It released at $250 and sold out immediately across all sizes. Resale climbed fast and has stayed high ever since.

According to TheGrio, Russell-Bailey addressed the situation Thursday (Sept. 10) night after initially staying quiet. “What my biological father shared is not an accurate representation of our relationship,” he wrote, adding that he had taken several days before responding so he could be clear about what he wanted to say.

The conversation began when Chingy told Jason Lee that he has four children and identified Russell-Bailey as his youngest son. “Actually, my youngest son, Isaiah, is a big actor out here in California,” he said, pointing to his work with Disney and other projects. Russell-Bailey has appeared in Family Reunion, Raven’s Home, S.W.A.T., and films including We Can Be Heroes and Crater.

Russell-Bailey responded indirectly at first, posting a tribute to his mother, Brittany Perry-Russell. “Everything I am, I owe to the woman who has always been there,” he wrote. He also liked comments questioning Chingy’s involvement in his upbringing and career.

Isaiah Russell-Bailey Says Chingy Was Absent During His Childhood

As speculation grew, Chingy defended himself. He told Hollywood Unlocked that Russell-Bailey knows the relationship they have and argued that not everything a father does for his child is shared online. Chingy also said he wanted his son to build a career separate from his own name and maintained that he had offered support when needed.

Russell-Bailey disputed that account directly. He described “years of absence and neglect” and said public statements about love or support do not erase his memories of who was present while he was growing up. He also rejected suggestions that his mother had manipulated him into feeling negatively toward Chingy.

“A parent doesn’t have to turn a child against someone who was already absent,” he wrote. “My feelings are my own, and they come from my own experiences.”

The actor was particularly protective of his mother’s role in his career. Russell-Bailey said he and Perry-Russell made sacrifices together while pursuing acting and objected to any version of the story that gave someone else credit for work he says they handled without that person’s involvement.

He also made clear that he does not intend to turn the disagreement into an extended public fight. Russell-Bailey said he would not reveal private family details simply to win an argument online, but he would not allow anyone to speak for him or use his name to create what he called “a false picture of a nonexistent relationship for clout.”

“I’ve said what I needed to say, and I won’t be speaking on this again,” he concluded. Chingy had not publicly responded to Russell-Bailey’s latest statement.
