More specifically, the Television Academy honored supervising editors Charles Divak, ACE (American Cinema Editors) and Evan Wise, ACE, along with lead editor Jack Gravina and editors Adam Goldstein, Jonathan Miller, Jeremy Siefer, and Benji Kast, ACE. The Reckoning was also nominated in two other categories: Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series and Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program.

Via Instagram, 50 Cent celebrated this achievement and took the opportunity to clap back at anyone downplaying his success. “I won a Emmy still think I’m taking a L or you changed your mind,” he wrote. “GLG GreenLightGang we don’t miss.” Considering how much the G-Unit mogul celebrated the nominations, the win itself will probably lead to even more celebrations.

50 Cent’s Emmy

Even with this editing Emmy in mind, 50 Cent’s comments about Diddy continue to show why his production of Sean Combs: The Reckoning was so controversial in the first place. Many fans alleged bias was at play, let alone the Bad Boy mogul’s team. But he’s just a small part of a much larger tale and production, and he’s never been shy about making that disdain clear.

Most recently, 50 theorized Keefe D might testify against Puff concerning the murder of Tupac. This follows Keefe’s murder conviction cocnerning the case.

Elsewhere, 50 Cent is flaunting other successes, even if they have only recently resurfaced after decades. Amid the successful relaunch of his G-Unit Reebok sneakers, he looked back at an old ad for Reebok he did with Jay-Z. Fif even suggested Hov is still mad at him over the commercial for wearing the G-Unit shoes rather than the S. Carters. With every win comes a troll, and 50’s happy to stick to that formula.

Hov spoke about his special connection to London as the show closed out, as his mentor Jaz-O had taken him to Notting Hill for two months back in 1989. Elsewhere, the show was similarly nostalgic, with pretty much all his big hits showing up and celebrations of Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint in particular shining bright.

Elsewhere, Sampha came out to perform “No Church In The Wild” and Dave came out to perform “Raindance.” While there weren’t as many people onstage as Jay-Z’s first London show, fans still loved to see the U.K. stars have their moment.

Now, fans must wait for Jay-Z’s next concerts if they want to catch him live. He will perform in Paris next Thursday (September 10) and then hit Los Angeles on October 23 and 24.

But amid all this success, comparisons to some of Jay-Z’s foes also emerged. His Watch The Throne partner Ye also had massive stadium shows in Chicago recently, to name just one of the locations. No matter which one you prefer, hip-hop fans have been eating in 2026 if this is one of their hottest debates.

Quotable Lyrics from OK

Thought they was bookin’ Sosa, three hundred for a show
I pop it ’cause I ‘posed to, remember bein’ broke (Frrt)
It’s Alyssa, not Elsa, I can’t let you go (Go)
A-T-L-A-N-T-A, I’m in the ho
All this back and forth, man, I just want you back on top

The main piece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold. “DON’T BE DUMB” runs down the sleeve, with AWGE branding mixed throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back of the shirt.

Fans can also add limited-edition “A$AP 11” name and number printing. That’s available on the club’s current Home, Away, or Third kits. It’s offered while supplies last at retail.

A separate players-only version exists too, though it’s not for sale. That one sticks closer to Man City’s sky-blue identity. It features “D.B.D.” sleeve detailing and a stop-sign graphic reading “STOP SNITCHIN, MANCHESTER” on the back.

Everything sells exclusively in Manchester on a first-come, first-served basis. That includes the Man City Stadium Store and some jerseys even came with “Golden Tickets” for the concert or Saturday’s match.

Man City x A$AP Rocky

The collection’s first moment came through a one-night pop-up on September 4th. PUMA transformed Black Milk in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into the “Don’t Be Dumb Caff” for the night. Doors opened and drew the big fans in early.

That event mixed football, music, and street culture into one space. It gave fans first access to the longsleeve jersey before wider retail rollout. The numbered kits followed the next morning at the stadium store.

A$AP Rocky has described the project as staying true to his own design language. He’s said the goal was honoring Man City’s legacy while still keeping his creative fingerprint intact. PUMA’s Teamsport VP echoed that same sentiment in the collection’s announcement.

This isn’t Rocky’s only club project also matching collection with AC Milan dropped around the same time. Together, both releases show just how far music and football crossovers have come.

The debut colorway comes in a chalk white, grey, and soft pink. It’s inspired by the coastline of Puerto Rico. That’s a much lighter palette compared to the original BadBo 1.0’s debut brown.

The 1.1 trims down to a true low-top shape with a thinned-out collar. That’s a clear departure from the heavily padded mid-cut build of the original release. The layering of the upper has also been reworked to accommodate that lower shape.

The toe box also gets reworked too. A T-toe construction swaps out the smooth toe from the 1.0. That detail gives the shoe a sportier, more traditional sneaker look.

Even the branding shifted slightly. It now sits centered on the heel instead of positioned off to the side near the rear. Bad Bunny’s stitch-mark tongue tab, thick rope laces, and heel star logo all carry over from the original.

Both BadBo models trace back to the Adidas Streetwise basketball shoe from 1994. That happens to be the same year Bad Bunny was born. It’s a detail that’s carried through every version of this partnership so far.

Adidas BadBo 1.1

The original BadBo 1.0 debuted during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year. It sold out almost immediately following his big Grammy night. Resale prices on that first release have climbed well past retail since then.

This 1.1 arrives just months after that debut, which is a quick turnaround for any signature line. Bad Bunny has stayed busy with his Adidas partnership all year regardless. Golf and baseball cleat versions of the BadBo have already released too.

The lower price point here also stands out. At $120, the 1.1 comes in cheaper than the original’s $160 tag. That could make this version an easier access point for fans who missed the first drop. Overall, With more BadBo colorways already expected, this partnership shows no signs of slowing down.

The post Dirty Sprite – Mixtape by Future appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Wilson responded via Twitter to Jermaine Dupri commenting on the many guests the Chicago artist brought out for these concerts. They include Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Lupe Fiasco, Travis Scott, Future, Common, and many more. “Everybody always reconciles with dude. I hope Big Homie never does,” Elliott wrote.

While he didn’t explicitly name the Roc Nation mogul, fans quickly connected the dots online. However, folks who agreed with him didn’t necessarily align with his reasoning. Some hardcore Roc supporters are firmly against the Yeezy mogul, whereas others hope Kanye is the one who never lets Jay back into his life.

Conversations about Kanye West’s Jay-Z beef could also apply to folks like Pusha T, especially with the context of Sean and much of the G.O.O.D. Music family reconciling with Ye. Some folks are focused on the interpersonal dynamics and industry loyalties, whereas others expressed outrage at these artists ignoring Kanye’s previous bigotries and controversies.

Kanye West & Jay-Z Beef

Most recently, Kanye West seemed to show Jay-Z love for his Yankee Stadium performances, although it may have been for the art direction rather than anything related to Hov himself. Considering Jay had dissed Ye during his Roots Picnic freestyle, this shocked a lot of fans. But clearly, it didn’t lead to any significant reunion or reconciliation.

Speaking of Jay-Z shows, he just wrapped up night two of his London concerts, and he has a few more massive performances on the way. Some fans are now debating which Watch The Throne MC had the better shows. But many of those agree with Elliott Wilson in one way or another: they don’t expect The Throne to rule again.

According to an exclusive AllHipHop report from Grouchy Greg Watkins, United States District Judge Michael Fitzgerald gave this brief history lesson yesterday (Friday, September 4). He referenced the murder of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170 at the hands of four knights. The knights allegedly misinterpreted King Henry II’s anger at Becket as an approval of attack, and the king denied ordering the murder. Historians reportedly still do not know what really happened.

However, Fitzgerald characterized the king’s defense as being happy with the murder despite having nothing to do with it. “Here in the United States, we don’t have kings,” the judge reportedly remarked. “And just because [Lil Durk] is a celebrity, I don’t think the jury is going to literally let him get away with murder.”

This historical event’s relation to the Chicago rapper’s case is due to prosecutors’ allegations that Durk authorized the hit, even if he may not have directly given the order. On the other hand, defense attorneys argue the true culprits acted independently, and thus, their client is not responsible.

How Long Has Lil Durk Been In Jail?

To be clear, Judge Fitzgerald did not “pick a side” via his historical comparison. Rather, he illustrated to the jury how they must evaluate both claims and determine whether prosecutors proved Lil Durk’s involvement beyond reasonable doubt. He argued Durk would be innocent if OTF Vonnie organized a hit under false pretenses of his approval. But Judge Fitzgerald suggested jurors’ identification of proof of Durk’s “tacit support” would validate prosecutors’ claims despite him not necessarily giving the direct order.

Prosecutors reportedly plan to show how Durk is connected to a $1 million reward for the hit. One example they reportedly pointed to was witness testimony from OTF Jam, in which he claimed Durk would “make anybody straight” if they were to murder Quando Rondo. Flacka also claimed on the stand that Dede offered payment and named Durk as a willing buyer, and that Durk sent him to Boonie Moe when he asked for payment.

On the other hand, Lil Durk’s attorney Christy O’Connor argued against prosecutors’ claims. “My concern is the difference between knowing other people are offering bounties, maybe even in your name, that aren’t true, and intending yourself,” she reportedly expressed. Witness testimony for the defense also argued against witnesses for the prosecution.

Durk has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. He’s been in prison since October of 2024.

The Atlanta rapper surprised and overjoyed his die-hards by releasing some of his 2010 and 2011 projects on digital streaming platforms like Spotify. It’s the first time they’ve appeared on these platforms, and it’s a great opportunity for longtime listeners to reminisce and for newer ones to find out what they’ve been missing.

More specifically, these mixtapes are the iconic Dirty Sprite from 2011, which followed 2010’s 1000 and Kno Mercy. Those are now on streaming services as well, along with 2011’s True Story and Streetz Calling.

While this is very exciting, collectors and “completionists” will note this doesn’t fill out all of Hendrix’s vast catalog on streaming services. For example, we’re still waiting on Free Bricks with Gucci Mane and FDU & Freebandz: Reloaded with Stuey Rock. But when it comes to solo work, pretty much all the bases are now covered.

Is Future Dropping Another Album?

What’s more is that Future might have more music on the way after these mixtape drops on streaming and the release of The Real Me. He teased another project just a few weeks after dropping his latest LP, although he didn’t give fans a release timeline for it. It was also a very vague tease, so it’s probably more of a general “I’m still working” declaration rather than any rollout preparations or anything like that.

Still, Future remains in high demand despite The Real Me disappointing some fans. After all, folks still went wild for him when he popped out at Ye’s recent Chicago homecoming show. So maybe the mix of the old and the new is what will sustain an even bigger 2026 than what fans originally expected.

In fact, that mix of old and new has been something Future has always dominated in his artistry. So if you haven’t checked out the original Dirty Sprite and the other mixtapes, take this as your sign to dive in.
