Styles P is set to drop Ghost Of The Past, Present and Future Vol. 1, and he is bringing the heat with his recent run of freestyles. Recently, he came through with “The Drop.” It is appropriately named after the show from which the beat originates. The original song is called “Rydah” and Styles P certainly does it justice. From his flows to the cadence to the bars themselves, everything here is clicking. The rapper clearly wants people to know he’s dropping heat soon. We can’t wait to hear even more.

Kanye Is Reportedly Bringing Yeezy Back To The Fashion Runway https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1014019-kanye-west-plans-yeezy-fashion-show-streetwear-news Thu, 22 Oct 2026 15:31:45 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1014019 Ye is reportedly planning a Yeezy runway show at the brand's new Los Angeles flagship store, according to a new report from Puck.

Yeezy may be heading back to the runway. According to a new report, Ye is planning a fashion show in Los Angeles.

Puck reports that the show would take place at Yeezy’s new flagship store, on the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Kingsley Drive. The report cites a source with direct knowledge.

There is no date yet, and Yeezy has not confirmed anything. So basically it means this is still a rumor for now.

The setting would be a big change from recent years. Ye has mostly kept his fashion projects quiet, and his last big runway moment was Yeezy Season 9 in Paris in 2022. Seven months later, he held a very low-key Season 10 show in Los Angeles that barely showed any clothes.

It was also reported in August that Yeezy plans to launch a new sneaker for the holiday season, with a pretty hefty price of $800. A runway show could be the perfect place to show it off.

Yeezy is also active again at retail. Products are available on its website, and JD Sports has been selling Yeezy pieces since August. A show at the flagship would also show how much the brand has changed since leaving Adidas.

Kanye West Plans Yeezy Fashion Show

Yeezy has a long runway history. The brand’s first show was Yeezy Season 2 in 2015, and the later seasons became some of the biggest events in fashion.

Some of those shows were huge productions. Others were small and strange, which made them even more talked about. It is a very Ye move to choose his own store as the venue. It gives him full control over the setting and the guest list.

We have seen a lot of Yeezy news lately. An unreleased YZY AB-01 appeared on Ye’s feet last weekend, the Yeezy 800 sneaker is expected in December, and the Yeezy 800 High Tactical Boot is still waiting on a date.

If the runway show happens, it could be a big moment for the brand. We will keep watching for more details.

The man accused of assaulting Rick Ross’ son at gunpoint has a message for 50 Cent. In a video shared to social media, Don Roberts III, the individual accused of assaulting Ross’ son, William Roberts III, thanked Fif and declared his innocence.

“I appreciate everybody who believed in me, my family and my friends. I’m innocent. The Lord know I’m innocent. 50, I appreciate you for everything you’re doing for me and believing in my innocence,” he said.

“I had a strong feeling this brother was innocent, 👀who snitching,” Fif wrote in the caption of the reposted video.

50 Cent Calls Robert Williams III’s Assault Suspect “Innocent”

According to police, Robert Williams III was on a corner speaking to a woman when Don Roberts III hopped out of his vehicle and immediately began pressing him. Apparently, this woman had a relationship with Don in the past. 

Robert Williams III told police that Don held a handgun in his hand and pointed it towards him, saying, “I don’t care who your daddy is, I’ll kill you.” Don then allegedly struck Roberts with the gun.

Shortly after the news went viral, 50 Cent immediately chimed in, making light of Ross’ past as a correctional officer and plugging his own movie, Street Fighter.

“I got him he will be out tomorrow I’m sending @drewfindling,” 50 wrote. “This is a big misunderstanding that can easily be resolved. This was a street fight, I mean STREET FIGHTER is in theaters! LOL.”

Though Ross himself hasn’t chimed in, Roberts Williams III’s mother, Tia Kemp, called out 50 Cent for egging on the situation, sparking a back-and-forth on social media. Check out the post above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.

DJ Akademiks Suggests LeBron & Savannah James Were Startled To See Him At Knicks Game https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1014012-dj-akademiks-lebron-savannah-james-knicks-game Thu, 22 Oct 2026 15:19:44 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1014012 DJ Akademiks was at the New York Knicks game on Tuesday, and he believes he had LeBron James a bit startled.

The post DJ Akademiks Suggests LeBron & Savannah James Were Startled To See Him At Knicks Game appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
DJ Akademiks has been flaunting his recent trip to Madison Square Garden, and it has led to a plethora of eye-opening claims. It all started with him taunting Meek Mill and Tylil, who were not present at the game.

Subsequently, Akademiks found himself alleging that a Jay-Z affiliate was heckling him during the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers game. He says the 60-year-old white man was an employee of Roc Nation who makes jewelry for Jay-Z. It is a claim that has yet to be verified.

In the very same stream, DJ Akademiks continued to make some head-turning claims. For instance, he said that when LeBron James saw him in the crowd, he looked startled. He also said that LeBron refused to look in his direction for the rest of the game.

DJ Akademiks On Knicks Experience

Subsequently, he says he made eye contact with Savannah James, who also didn’t look pleased to see him. However, Ak maintains that he believes Savannah actually has a lot of respect for him.

If you’re wondering why LeBron might not like Akademiks, it’s because of Ak’s associations with Drake. When Kendrick Lamar was beefing with Drake, LeBron took Lamar’s side. He showed up at the Pop Out, and was dancing to “Not Like Us.” Given LeBron’s history with Drake, this was seen as a massive betrayal, and Akademiks stated as such.

Whether or not LeBron actually noticed Akademiks is anyone’s guess. However, the hip-hop commentator seems to believe he made a real impression on everything that went down on Tuesday in the Garden.

Let us know what you think of Akademiks’ story in the comments below.

Well, it looks like Lil Wayne doesn’t want any smoke with Boosie Badazz. Appearing on In The Bayou With Tyrann Mathieu, Wayne revealed that he saw the video of Boosie challenging him to a Verzuz battle. Despite people believing that Boosie was out of his element to challenge Wayne, the “A Milli” rapper admitted that the “Wipe Me Down” artist would have the edge.

“I saw that man. I tell Boosie, man. My hands down, Boosie, bro. You got me, bro. I can’t f*ck with you dawg. I can’t f*ck with you, Boosie,” Wayne said. “I ain’t f*cking with you and all that, b*tch,” he continued. “You’re a dog, b*tch.” I’m good. You got me. Shout out to Boosie, man.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Lil Wayne discovered that Boosie Badazz was incarcerated at the infamous Angola prison. “Man, Boosie been in Angola?” Wayne asked. “That n***a crazy.”

Lil Wayne & Boosie In A Verzuz Battle?

If you recall, Boosie previously discussed going up against anyone in a 20-song hit battle in a viral clip that surfaced earlier this year. The rapper revealed that he’d be willing to take on anyone, including someone like Lil Wayne. “Bring him on. You go get Wayne. I’m gonna stand up like a mothaf*cking champ,” he said. 

Will we ever see Boosie Badazz and Lil Wayne face off at Verzuz? The chances are slim, but that’s not just because Wayne conceded to Boosie. His comments on Boosie came a few months after Wayne confidently declared that he would embarrass anyone who he faced off against. Apparently, Boosie is exempt. 

We will continue to keep you posted on any further updates surrounding Lil Wayne, Boosie Badazz, and Verzuz. Do you think Boosie would beat Wayne? Sound off in the comments below.

Stephen A. Smith Goes Full Contrarian With Jay-Z Super Bowl Halftime Show Take https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1014007-stephen-a-smith-jay-z-super-bowl-halftime-show Thu, 22 Oct 2026 14:24:05 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1014007 With some on the internet bashing Jay-Z for his Super Bowl Halftime Show decision, Stephen A. Smith has chosen a different path.

The post Stephen A. Smith Goes Full Contrarian With Jay-Z Super Bowl Halftime Show Take appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Stephen A. Smith has been in the news quite a bit this week following his meeting at the White House. Much has been made of his associations with President Donald Trump and other Republican lawmakers.

However, on his show this week, Smith found himself divulging on a different hot-button topic. Of course, we are talking about the news that Jay-Z is going to do the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

There have been lots of detractors in the aftermath of this news. Many are feeling as though the decision is self-serving and undeserved. Few positive opinions have been publicly shared on all this, although Stephen A. is looking to change that.

Smith believes that this is very much a good thing. He believes Jay-Z is one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. Furthermore, he believes his associations and collaborations will make for some truly extraordinary guest appearances.

Stephen A. Smith Talks Jay-Z At The Super Bowl

This is certainly a glass-half-full approach to the situation. While others have been extremely negative, Smith is going in a positive direction. The pundit has never shied away from having a contrarian take, although it’s not like this is some sort of outlandish position.

It is true that Jay-Z has hits, and it is true that he can bring out some of the biggest pop stars of all time. However, some are already going into the performance with a heavy dose of skepticism, which could be an issue down the line.

Either way, the NFL has yet to make the Jay-Z announcement official. Given the public scrutiny, some conversations could be had behind the scenes. For now, all one can do is speculate.

How To Cop Burna Boy’s First On Collection At Foot Locker https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1013935-how-to-cop-burna-boys-first-on-collection-at-foot-locker-sneaker-news Thu, 22 Oct 2026 14:00:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1013935 Burna Boy's first On collection includes three styles, and every pair will be available on Foot Locker. Here is a look at each one.

The post How To Cop Burna Boy’s First On Collection At Foot Locker appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Burna Boy’s first On collection is almost here, and all three shoes will be available on Foot Locker on October 22nd at 10 AM Eastern time. The pack includes a lifestyle sneaker, a tennis-inspired shoe, and a running shoe.

Here is a quick look at each pair, plus where to grab them:

First up is the On Roger Clubhouse, which will be available on Foot Locker for $150. It is the cleanest shoe in the pack. White leather covers the upper, with a subtle On logo on the sides and small dark red accents on the heel. It is a very easy pair to wear.

Next is the On Cloudtilt Remix, which will also be available on Foot Locker for $170. This one is the darkest look of the three. Translucent mesh in brown and cream sits above a chunky dark brown midsole with open cutouts.

Then there is the On Cloudmonster, which Foot Locker will sell for $180. It is the loudest shoe of the three. Red covers everything, from the upper to the sole, and large On branding sits on the side in a tonal print.

All three pairs are men’s sizing, and Foot Locker is listing them as limit one per person. Make sure your account and billing info are up to date for a faster checkout, these could go quickly.

Burna Boy x On Running

Burna Boy has been building toward this moment for a while. On announced him as a partner in September 2025, and this is the first full collection from that deal.

The Nigerian star is one of the biggest names in global music. He has won a Grammy and headlined stadiums around the world, so the sneaker world is a natural next step.

He joins another big name on On’s roster. Zendaya has been with the brand since 2024 through Zendaya’s ambassador deal and she’s been making huge moves with the brand.

The three-shoe approach is smart bceause each pair fits a different style, so you can pick based on how you like to dress. Prices between $150 and $180 are close to the usual On range, so there’s no added cost with the collab.

If you want a pair, be ready early. These are limited to one per person on Foot Locker, and the shoes go live on October 22nd at 10 AM Eastern time. Pairs from artist collabs like this can sell out very fast!

Drake remains an ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, and fans are always excited to see him courtside. This season, the Raptors have a lot to be excited about, especially as Kawhi Leonard is officially back.

His reunion with the team is receiving plenty of fanfare. On Wednesday night, the Raptors had their home and season opener against the Chicago Bulls. Leonard had 23 points in a blowout victory, and Drake was courtside to watch it all go down.

In the images below, you can see that the artist was actually sporting some red cowboy boots. Furthermore, it appears as though these boots had some sort of bedazzled cross on the front. It just goes to show that the Texas aesthetic is rubbing off on Drake these days.

Drake Is Back At Scotiabank Arena

Given the Raptors’ chances this season with Leonard back on the team, one can assume that we will be seeing a whole lot of Drake at Scotiabank Arena. The Raptors will be one of the hottest tickets in the league. The artist’s courtside season tickets are going to be occupied for the vast majority of the team’s 41 home games.

We also imagine Drake will be bringing along a large array of guests throughout the year. One game it might be Adonis, the next game it might be Chubbs. Then it could very well be Baka. The options are endless.

Only time will tell whether or not the Raptors are the team some pundits believe they can be. The expectations are heavy going into this season, and truly anything can happen.

Let us know what you think of the NBA this season in the comments below.
