“Rocky I know you’re probably seeing this,” they titled the post. “You been mad active and i know u might see this… you needa really really ramp up the album promo… i would have the preorders before the album but i guess that’s not possible so whatever. I think you should hand deliver some merch yourself and really outdo yourself with marketing… One last thing, please put the ‘helicopter’ snippet on the album with carti. also, if u do hand deliver some stuff, hmu i’ll definitely buy a CD.”

Luckily for the fan, Rocky actually saw their post. “BET,” he reportedly commented alongside a fire emoji.

When Is ASAP Rocky Dropping Don’t Be Dumb?

When another Reddit user suggested that a marketing team was behind the comment and not Rocky himself, he was quick to fire back. “N***A I BEEN ON REDDIT SINCE 08, DONT BE DUMB,” he wrote, per Kurrco. ASAP Rocky’s new album is currently slated for release on January 16, 2026, though the performer previously shied away from giving fans a concrete release date.

In an interview with Numéro Magazine published in October, he even said he might drop the album by surprise. At the time, he also admitted that announcing release dates and failing to deliver was likely a mistake.

“To be honest, I don’t want to talk about release dates anymore,” he explained. “I’d rather let the music speak for itself. One day, you’ll wake up and see what’s coming up. I was a bit foolish giving dates last time… Today, I want to make it clear. You’ll just have to wait and enjoy the record when it’ll come out.”

Rocky’s latest Reddit tiff comes shortly after a new merch drop in honor of his Camp Flog Gnaw Festival appearance. One piece of merch fans can now purchase is a hoodie that says, “ALBUM NEVER DROPPING.”

Further details remain unavailable. The star wide receiver’s attorney, Michael DiStefano, argued in court on Tuesday that the police report should be impounded with information remaining sealed. A judge has yet to rule on the request.

Stefon Diggs Court Hearing

At the same court hearing, DiStefano also revealed that Diggs has made a financial offer to resolve the dispute with the alleged victim. “As we speak, they’re working to come to an agreement on that,” the lawyer said. The judge promised to issue a ruling on the matter “shortly.”

Additionally, DiStefano asked to postpone Diggs’ arraignment, which the court currently has scheduled for January 23, two days before the AFC Championship game. In turn, Diggs wants the hearing pushed back to March.

A spokesperson for the New England Patriots provided Boston 25 with a statement addressing the charges against Stefon Diggs. “The New England Patriots are aware of the accusations that have been made regarding Stefon Diggs. Stefon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations. We support Stefon,” the statement read. “We will continue to gather information and will cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary. Out of respect for all parties involved, and given that this is an ongoing legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.”

The legal drama comes as the Patriots are in the midst of their best season since the departure of Tom Brady. They are currently 13-3 and in first place in the AFC East.

“Who are they gonna bring in that’s gonna start deciding the music, and start breaking records in the morning?” Peter Rosenberg asked Ebro, as caught by Complex. He replied: “First of all, people don’t know that, people who host don’t decide what music they play.”

From there, he explained that he hasn’t “been in charge of anything administratively, programming, music, research, marketing, nothing at that radio station in a decade.”

Ebro also said that he wants to move on from discussing the end of Ebro in the Morning. He explained that he and his co-hosts knew the cancellation was coming ahead of time, so they’re tired of the topic. “As soon as [Donald] Trump got elected, I came on the radio, and was like, ‘Guys, this might be it. ‘Cause they coming after me. People are out of here this time,'” Ebro said.

Why Was “Ebro In The Morning” Canceled?

It isn’t the first time Ebro Darden has blamed his political opinions as the reason for Ebro in the Morning”s ending. After Hot 97 initially made the announcement, he called out the company’s new ownership.

“Bro’s a casino owner. You know the three licenses they got in NY for the casino? The guy that owns the sh*t owns one of the casino licenses,” Darden said, as caught by Complex. “He gotta raise half a billion dollars. They need my sh*t talking, anti-Netanyahu, anti-government, progressive sh*t out of the way, bro. They need me out of the way.”

He also feuded with Drake in the wake of the show’s cancellation. The Toronto rapper dropped an axe emoji on Instagram and slid into Ebro’s DMs to fire off some hateful messages. “Die slower p*ssy. We got some sh*t for you,” he allegedly wrote.

Why Is Tyler Perry Being Sued?

This has raised some questions, prompting Rodriguez to set the record straight. In his lawsuit, he accuses Perry of sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to him, the alleged messages do not undermine his allegations.

“I want to briefly respond to what’s being said about me right now. People are pointing to messages where I was polite, grateful, or vulnerable — and trying to use that to discredit me,” he told PEOPLE. “When someone has influence over your career, your income, your future, you don’t feel free. Survivors often stay cordial. They often ask for help when they feel desperate.”

“That does not mean abuse didn’t happen,” Rodriguez concluded. “Those text messages were sent at a time when I was especially vulnerable, as can be seen from the context. Continued financial support and access are not inconsistent with abuse — they are often part of the power dynamics that follow it.”

“I would speak to him if that was my boy. That b*tch is hit. That b*tch is ugly as f*ck. You being at your level, you shouldn’t even be with that b*tch,” 6ix9ine began, before joking that the interviewer has been with more attractive women. “So, my thing is like, come to Miami…” From there, 6ix9ine theorized that Cenat’s girl wouldn’t have remained loyal regardless of their breakup.

When Akademiks TV shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), fans called out 6ix9ine for his disrespectful tone in the replies. “This ain’t right , she might be wrong but they should talk about her like this. .and what if they fix things ??” one user wrote. Another added: “She ain’t chopped but she ain’t all that either he can easily upgrade.”

Did Kai Cenat’s Ex Cheat On Him?

Kai Cenat originally confirmed he and Gigi had broken up in a post on social media, Saturday. “I’m single I will never be in another relationship again,” he wrote. The announcement quickly amassed millions of views, with fans expressing their shock in the replies. Afterward, theories about the reason for their split began circulating online.

Eventually, fans began claiming that she cheated on him with NBA YoungBoy, but she dropped a statement on her Instagram Story setting the record straight. “I left, now you wanna get on the internet and rush to paint a false narrative about me off a FAKE twitter post is insane,” she wrote. “I’ve never cheated on him, and YOU know that. I have never dealt with that man… play that sympathetic role somewhere else, pls.” Kai Cenat has yet to address the situation further.

“During the Drake vs Kendrick beef, numbers went crazy, biggest money period of my career, I’m sure it was the same for other media outlets too,” he explained, as seen in a clip shared by CY Chels on X. “So media stayed stuck there that’s why they keep milking it long after it ended.”

“Hip-hop runs on storytelling, not just sound,” he continued. “And when media keeps recycling one beef, it stops building new narratives, new stars, and new moments.” This isn’t the first time Ak has pointed out the long-term effects of Drake and Kendrick’s beef. This isn’t all he’s had to say about the Toronto MC in recent months, either.

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

During an interview with VladTV posted back in October, he also claimed that Drake should avoid bringing Kendrick Lamar up on his next album, ICEMAN. Moreover, he said Drake should avoid feuding with any other rappers moving forward.

In his opinion, taking swipes at the Compton rapper directly will likely do little for his career at this point, making it both a waste of energy and a risk.

“When I mean leave him alone, we’ve got to leave the moment. There’s no more direct engaging. There ain’t no more with diss songs. It’s over,” he explained. “He’s still gotta sneak diss him. It’s gotta be the Jay-Z approach.”

“After this battle, it should be Drake’s last,” he continued. “Like, why engage with rappers? In any of these situations, you have nothing to gain. Would you go on a business deal you got nothing to gain?”

“When you look at Drake’s career as a whole, why would he engage? It’s over,” Ak concluded. “He’s already solidified.” Drake’s new album still doesn’t have an official release date, though it’s expected to drop sometime in 2026.

“If I could save one girl from going through what I went through last year, please, because I almost killed myself,” she said. “It destroyed my life, my career. Everything.” From there, an unknown man chimed in to double down on the woman’s claims.

“She’s telling the truth,” he alleged. “East took $30K from this girl. Bro, I’m tired of this.”

Of course, all of this has earned big reactions from social media users. Many, for example, are claiming that 50 Cent is going to have a field day with these latest allegations.

Dave East 50 Cent Diss

For those who haven’t been keeping up with the mogul’s countless feuds, he seemingly issued a warning to East, Fabolous, Maino, and Jim Jones online this week. “Let’s toast to success, health, and prosperity,” he wrote. “I’m planning my new year. When I’m done, I’ll come out to play. You know everyone who plays with me wishes they didn’t in the end.”

His post came after the Let’s Rap About It podcast hosts dropped a fiery freestyle, which seemed to contain at least a few jabs at Fif.

Before that, 50 Cent alleged that they’re in serious debt in various social media posts. “These guys are squatters, they owe 250,000 k for the space they are filming their podcast,” he alleged in one of them. “These bums are trying to win best dressed award and can’t pay their bills.”

He even went on to post audio of the owner of their podcast studio accusing them of owing thousands.

That’s why a recent bucket list attributed to the artist was seen as no big deal. On Sunday, the list started making the rounds. While most of the items were simply about traveling the world, there were some that had to do with pole dancing and swimming with sharks.

At the time, it was made clear that this was only an alleged list. While the list was physically real, its ties to Kanye were still up in the air. Thankfully, Ye made a return to X on Monday, where he set the record straight, and put any sort of confusion to rest.

Is Kanye West’s Bucket List Real?

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

As you can see from the screenshot above, Ye is not the owner of this bucket list. He claims that this is fake and isn’t his handwriting. So there you have it. You won’t be seeing Kanye West pole dance, anytime soon.

However, you may just see him drop an album in the not-so-distant future. He has been apologizing to those he offended, and it seems like he is eager to return to public life. Whether or not he is accepted by the public is still something that remains to be seen.

After all, he kind of cooked his reputation with the Nazi worship back in 2022. Furthermore, his public comments over the past year or so haven’t exactly been “productive.”

With all of that being said, there are Ye fans still out there, and they have this hopefulness about his future that verges on naivety at times. If Ye can return and deliver a classic album, then perhaps all will be forgiven. Unfortunately, that doesn’t say much about society, but alas.

The post Kanye West Sets The Record Straight About His Alleged Bucket List appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Zeus Chief Executive Lemuel Plummer originally shared the trailer on social media on Monday. The show will follow the lives of Justin and Christian as their father remains behind bars. Diddy was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, earlier this year.

After facing backlash for showing the Combs family’s side of Diddy’s recent legal drama, Plummer put out a statement clarifying that the company is not endorsing the Bad Boy mogul.

“To be clear, this documentary is about giving Justin and Christian the opportunity to share their personal story. We’re not here to endorse Diddy or anyone else. As a network, we believe in giving individuals a platform to tell their own experiences, just like any network that enters the documentary space. We’re simply allowing these stories to be told, and that’s the essence of what we’re doing here. Thanks for understanding and for letting us bring these narratives to light,” Plummer said.

50 Cent’s “Sean Combs: The Reckoning”

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

Sean Combs: The Reckoning premiered on Netflix, earlier this month. The series examines numerous allegations about the disgraced music mogul and features appearances from various celebrities. Diddy’s team labeled it a “hit piece” in a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter before its release.

They also complained about 50 Cent’s role in the project. “50 Cent is a longtime public adversary who has mocked Mr. Combs for decades, posted fabricated accusations, and publicly celebrated his legal challenges,” the statement read.

According to him, this means a whopping 20 blunts, each packed with an impressive 7 grams of weed. Obviously, his math was pretty far off, sparking reactions from several social media users and peers. This includes G Herbo, who chimed in with a laughing emoji and elicited a bold response from the Memphis MC.

In a clip shared by DJ Akademiks on Instagram, he makes it clear that he didn’t appreciate the comment and takes a swipe at one of the artist’s exes.

Finesse2tymes & G Herbo Beef

“G Herbo, I seen you laughing under the post, grown baby-looking a** n***a,” he said. “That sh*t wasn’t funny, n***a. […] I guess you’re mad because [FNG Shugga] look better than Ari [Fletcher].” At the time of writing, neither G Herbo nor the mother of his first child has addressed Finesse2tymes’ latest diss.

They’re not the only ones he’s had issues with lately, either. Last month, he also got into it with Offset after weighing in on Cardi B’s new relationship. This didn’t sit right with the former Migos member, who promptly told him to keep his name out of his mouth.

“Don’t get mad at me,” Finesse fired back. “Get mad at the football player.” Offset proceeded to share a series of fiery posts on his Instagram Story, indicating that he wasn’t about to let the disrespect slide.

“What I look like beefing with a BBL,” he wrote. “Ain’t finessed sh*t but a bbl sweet as n***a get in the gym lol.” Finesse2tymes later went off on Offset during a FaceTime call, shouting and insisting that he didn’t do anything to warrant the reaction he got.
