DeenTheGreat found himself on the wrong side of the law on Wednesday morning as he was arrested in Miami-Dade County for an alleged attempted robbery. At this time, details of the alleged incident are sparse; however, we do know this did cause an uproar in the streaming world.

Prior to his arrest, Deen had been streaming with former professional boxer Adrien Broner. These streams were gaining notoriety for all of the wrong reasons, as Broner had been spotted making women uncomfortable.

Regardless, in many respects, DeenTheGreat was Broner’s pathway into the streaming world. With Deen incarcerated, Broner would have to navigate the space by himself. Needless to say, it did not take long for Broner to bail Deen out of jail.

On Wednesday night, Broner went live from outside the jail, and he even brought Celina Powell along for the ride. Powell has been a fixture of their streams, so it only made sense for her to tag along.

DeenTheGreat Greets Celina Powell

In the video above, courtesy of TMZ, DeenTheGreat can be spotted hugging Powell. It was a warm embrace and an example of how the two have become well-acquainted throughout their streaming endeavors.

With that being said, it is unclear how this latest arrest is going to impact DeenTheGreat and his ability to stream. It feels as though he has been streaming daily since his rise to fame. Having said that, there is a very good chance that the fans will get to see him on stream tonight.

If he does go live, then there will likely be a few more viewers than usual, as they look for clarity on this situation. As for Broner, streaming seems to be his new career, and he is showing no signs of looking elsewhere.

Max B Storms Off Mid-Interview After Complex Excludes Him From NYC Rap Rankings https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996531-max-b-walks-out-complex-interview-top-50-new-york-rappers-list Thu, 28 May 2026 17:24:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996531 Max B wasn't feeling Complex's ranking.

The post Max B Storms Off Mid-Interview After Complex Excludes Him From NYC Rap Rankings appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Max B has been on a roll ever since he came back home. The Harlem rapper’s jovial spirit has spread across the timelines, his performances have gone viral, and he wasted little time getting back into the flow of releasing new music, including his latest project with French Montana. 

Now, there’s no doubt Max is a legend, but whether he ranks among the top 50 rappers from New York City is subjective. And last week, he declared himself behind rappers like Jay-Z, Nas, and Biggie among NYC’s finest, a claim that sparked a lot of conversation online. But most recently, Max’s reaction to Complex’s Top 50 New York Rappers of all time went just as viral when it was revealed that he excluded him entirely.

“I don’t even see my name up there,” Max said as Jordan Rose went through the list. “Huh, now you know I’m putting my name on top. That’s crazy, you ain’t got the Don up there. You think all them n***as better than me?” Max continued. As the host rattled off names like Prodigy and Ghostface Killah, Max B left the interview abruptly. “I’m finished with this interview,” he declared.

Although everyone thought it was a joke at first, including French Montana, Max B walked out of the studio. “We run New York, n***a, don’t talk,” Max is heard saying in the distance before someone off-camera confirmed that Max actually left. 45 minutes later, Jordan revealed that French Montana was still trying to convince Max B to complete the remainder of the interview.

Why Didn’t Complex Include Max B In Their Top 50 New York Rappers List?

Eventually, French Montana came back to complete the interview when he defended Max B, saying that it was crazy for him not to be on the top 50 list. Jordan explained that the list included a lot of the OGs who built hip-hop, too. “The defense is he was gone for a long time, not to his fault, obviously,” Jordan said. Check the clip out above.

Dame Dash Fires Back At Jason Lee Over Nicky Licky & Aaliyah Comparison https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996528-dame-dash-nicky-licky-aaliyah-comparison Thu, 28 May 2026 16:31:29 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996528 Jason Lee's interview with Dame Dash reached a boiling point when questions about Aaliyah came up.

The post Dame Dash Fires Back At Jason Lee Over Nicky Licky & Aaliyah Comparison appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Dame Dash’s love for Aaliyah knows no bounds. However, their relationship naturally remains a sensitive topic whenever it arises. During a recent interview, Dame Dash and Jason Lee clashed when Lee questioned Dash about Nicky Licky, an artist he’s been working with, who he’s said reminds him of “a little white lesbian Aaliyah.” While Lee pushed back on the comparison, Dame Dash explained that Nicky shares characteristics, from her movements to her humor, that remind him of Aaliyah.

“What I said is she reminds me of a little white lesbian Aaliyah. I never compared her music to Aaliyah. And you don’t know Aaliyah. I did,” he said. “I never said anything about music. That’s such a racist and putting someone in a box kind of thing. I can say what the f*ck I want about Aaliyah. That was my girl. Y’all didn’t know Aaliyah like that. How the f*ck you going to tell me how to celebrate Aaliyah? Every person and every woman that’s around me, if I don’t see an element of Aaliyah, I don’t f*ck with her. So every single girl around me I’m going to compare to Aaliyah.”

Another point that seemingly rubbed Dame Dash the wrong way was how Jason Lee incorrectly stated that the Roc-A-Fella co-founder signed Nicky Licky. Dash explained that he doesn’t sign artists but instead forms partnerships with them. 

“I don’t own anybody. I never signed Jay-Z. So you don’t understand certain business verbiage and you’re judging, and that’s the devil talking. Because then it becomes not the truth and it becomes other people’s truth and it’s not real,” he said. Ultimately, Dame made it clear that he didn’t feel as though Jason Lee had any right to question his relationship with Aaliyah since he never knew her.

Dame Dash Says He & Jay-Z Competed For Aaliyah

Elsewhere, Dash explained how “a lot of people were really in love with” Aaliyah. He also explained how he and Jay-Z were in competition with each other over her. He cited one specific party that Diddy hosted where he and Jay were “throwing in our bid.” While Dame explained that he was “on fire,” he added, “I didn’t know I was going to fall in love. I just wanted to smash.” Eventually, he managed to win Aaliyah over, which he said wasn’t necessarily well-received by Jay. Check out the full episode above.

Clavicular Attempts To Kick DaBaby Out Of His Club For Bringing In Guns https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996523-clavicular-kicks-dababy-out-club Thu, 28 May 2026 16:01:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996523 Clavicular had DaBaby perform at his club in Miami on Wednesday night, although the situation ultimately devolved.

Clavicular officially has his own club in Miami called Bacara, and so far, the club has dealt with its fair share of controversy. Of course, it is a place where streamers are allowed to use their cameras. As a result, all sorts of antics and confrontations get caught on video.

On Wednesday night, Clavicular had DaBaby performing at the club. Unfortunately, things devolved when Clav tried to get the artist removed from the club. He asked him to leave, but he was promptly ignored, and the performance continued.

Eventually, it was revealed that Clavicular was upset because DaBaby’s crew allegedly brought guns into the club. One of the strict rules was that no one could bring in firearms. This is why the streamer tried to get DaBaby to leave.

DaBaby Ignores The Streamer

For those who might be unaware, Clavicular has risen to prominence over the past year or so thanks to his “looksmaxxing” regimen. The term “looksmaxxing” essentially refers to undergoing procedures to improve appearance. One can also perform extreme routines such as “bone-smashing” in order to manipulate bone structure.

Somehow, this has become a huge subculture with Gen Z and Gen Alpha, which has ultimately led to the streamer’s rise to fame. He has done interviews with mainstream news organizations, further legitimizing him as an online figure.

Ultimately, much of his rhetoric is damaging to the self-esteem of young men everywhere. However, these kinds of figures have become quite popular since the pandemic. One just has to look at Andrew Tate to see exactly what we mean.

Save Me – Song by Chief Keef https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996519-save-me-chief-keef Thu, 28 May 2026 14:55:56 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996519 Following Chief Keef's recent link up with Katy Perry, we can't help but reminisce about Keef's 2014 smash, "Save Me."

The post Save Me – Song by Chief Keef appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Last night, Katy Perry and Chief Keef met each other for the first time. This was significant given their online feud over a decade ago. Of course, this all culminated with Perry’s “Legendary Lovers” being sampled by Lex Luger on the Chief Keef song, “Save Me.” Today, we celebrate Throwback Thursday with an ode to “Save Me.” A song with some of the finest pop sampling of the 2010s. Furthermore, it is a song where Keef’s iconic flow shines through, creating a contrast with the production that few have matched since. If you’re a Keef fan, you should be proudly repping this track today.

Release Date: February 20, 2014

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: The Leek Vol. 1

Quotable Lyrics from Save Me

Ridin’ with my chopper, ayy, ayy
I’ma beat him like his father, ayy, ayy
Now it’s blood on my Giuseppes, ayy, ayy
I don’t like no fuckin’ Pradas, ayy, ayy

Once upon a time, Chief Keef and Katy Perry did not like each other. If you remember, the pop star made a tweet in 2013 about the song, “I Hate Being Sober.” She said the song made her fearful of the society we live in, and Sosa was not amused.

He took issue with what Perry said and made that apparent in her replies. However, Perry recanted her comments and apologized. Chief Keef also apologized, and they left it at that. Although Keef did end up sampling Perry’s “Legendary Lovers” on the song “Save Me.”

Every now and then, these iconic Twitter interactions circulate on social media. Today, this is ringing true once again as Chief Keef and Katy Perry actually met in person. Below, you can see the two having a face-to-face conversation, while those around them film the interaction.

Chief Keef x Katy Perry

The circumstances of this meeting are unclear, although there is no doubt that this sparked some fanfare, as well as viral reactions. It’s not every day that Chief Keef links with one of the biggest pop stars of the early 2010s.

For those who may not be aware, Katy Perry is currently dating former Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. The two have been going strong for months, and their relationship has certainly drawn the attention of Canadians.

As for Chief Keef, fans are certainly hopeful to get more new music from him in the not-so-distant future. He already came through with Skeletor earlier this year. However, there is no doubt that more new music from the Chicago legend would be appreciated.

Tory Lanez Files Another Emergency Motion Claiming His Life Is In Danger: Report https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996515-tory-lanez-emergency-motion-prison-stabbing-lawsuit Thu, 28 May 2026 14:35:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996515 The motion claims that Tory's been targeted in prison after filing his lawsuit.

The post Tory Lanez Files Another Emergency Motion Claiming His Life Is In Danger: Report appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Tory Lanez’s attempt to see freedom has taken a darker turn now that his attorneys warned that the conditions inside California’s prison system might place him in immediate physical danger. According to newly filed court papers obtained by All Hip Hop, the rapper’s legal team claims correctional staff at California Men’s Colony have engaged in a pattern of intimidation and retaliation following his decision to sue the state over a brutal prison stabbing that nearly killed him last year.

The emergency filing alleges that staff members have repeatedly targeted Lanez with disciplinary write-ups over actions they argue were never considered violations before the lawsuit was filed. They claim the sudden scrutiny is part of an effort to try to get him transferred to a prison yard known for increased violence and instability. 

“Such actions have a chilling effect on all people who are incarcerated as it demonstrates to Plaintiff and other individuals what will occur if they exercise their First Amendment right to redress the government for grievances,” Crystal Morgan, Tory Lanez’s lawyer, said.

The filing also underlines concerns surrounding Lanez’s previous stabbing. It alleges that officers referenced the incident in ways that attorneys interpreted as threatening. Between that and the disciplinary actions, Tory’s legal team described the situation as both escalating and a dangerous environment.

What Happened To Tory Lanez’s Lawsuit?

The lawsuit at the center of the dispute stems from a May 2025 attack at a Tehachapi prison facility, where Lanez was stabbed multiple times by another inmate. Court records state the assault caused collapsed lungs and lasting facial injuries. Following the incident, he was transferred to a different institution in San Luis Obispo County, but his lawyers now argue the threats have continued there in a different form. 

Earlier this year, the California Supreme Court declined to review his appeal. Ultimately, it left his conviction in place. The emergency motion asks for temporary protections, including a restraining order against the correctional officer in the filing. This particular filing attempts to argue whether intervention is necessary to prevent further harm while the broader lawsuit moves through the legal system.

Stephen A.

The post Stephen A. Smith Saddened After Kevin Hart Jokes That He Hates Black People appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Stephen A. Smith is someone who wears his emotions on his sleeve, and when someone says something he dislikes, he lets them know. He is especially sensitive when it comes to his reputation, just as anyone would be.

With that being said, it should come as no surprise that he took issue with Kevin Hart’s roast joke. Hart made up a Mt. Rushmore of racism and included Smith on the list alongside people like Shane Gillis, Hulk Hogan, and Kid Rock.

This led to a response on Straight Shooter, in which Smith said he has a good relationship with Hart and felt blindsided by the jabs that were taken.

“I thought I had a pretty damn good relationship with Kevin Hart. He’s been on my show on many occasions. I’ve known him for years,” Smith said. “Kevin Hart may have been telling a joke… I have an issue at the fact that it came from him… A guy I have a lot of love and respect for… People try to continue this narrative about me that I know is false… It stung.”

Stephen A. Smith Addresses Kevin Hart

Ultimately, the Kevin Hart roast has proven to be controversial for a myriad of reasons. The George Floyd jokes were in bad taste, and Hart is still answering for it. Some felt like the writers’ room for the roast was too white, and that Hart gave anti-blackness a pass.

As for Smith, he believes that this was a low blow. Smith has been accused of being anti-black in the past. Famously, Terrell Owens once said that Max Kellerman was blacker than him. This subsequently led to a strong response from Smith, who was clearly upset with the implication.

Smith remains a prominent figure in sports television, despite his pivot into politics. With this pivot comes increased scrutiny as it pertains to his views. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that Hart would make this kind of swing. Regardless of whether or not it’s in poor taste.

Ray J and Supa Hot Fire went two rounds over the weekend at Adin Ross’ most recent Brand Risk MMA event. In the end, Supa Hot Fire won the fight with a second-round stoppage. However, the fight is under investigation as Supa Hot Fire refused to throw a punch in the first round, only to display his dominance in the second.

Following Ray J’s allegations of match rigging, he admitted himself to the hospital with a possible concussion. With the singer’s current heart problems, there were also fears that perhaps Ray J exacerbated the problem.

On Wednesday, he ended up going live from the hospital, where he revealed that his heart has, in fact, deteriorated as a result of the fight. Ray J did not appear in good spirits in the video, and it seems as though he is quite upset about how things went down. For instance, he takes issue with Adin Ross and his lack of care.

Ray J Is Upset With Adin Ross

As you will hear, Ray claims Adin Ross never reached out to him after the fight. After checking into the hospital, he has received nothing but radio silence from Adin Ross and the entire Brand Risk Promotions team. Given Ray J’s health conditions and his current condition, it’s easy to see why he would be upset with the streamer.

The legitimacy of the Brand Risk Promotions enterprise has certainly been called into question. Compared to other celebrity boxing promotions, Brand Risk has been operating with some questionable standards. The live streams are amateurish, and it feels as though someone is accusing the fights of being rigged after every single event.

This latest saga involving Ray J just proves that Ross is in over his head. If things continue to go this way, Brand Risk will not be long for this world.

DJ Akademiks Reveals Whether Or Not Drake’s “Janice STFU” Is Really A Joe Budden Diss Track https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/996497-dj-akademiks-drake-janice-stfu-joe-budden Thu, 28 May 2026 12:49:28 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=996497 A viral video had some feeling as though Drake's "Janice STFU" was a Joe Budden diss track, and now, DJ Akademiks has the truth.

The post DJ Akademiks Reveals Whether Or Not Drake’s “Janice STFU” Is Really A Joe Budden Diss Track appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Yesterday, an old clip from the Joe Budden Podcast went viral in which Budden said his white woman’s name was “Janice.” This subsequently led to speculation that Drake’s number one hit, “Janice STFU,” is a Budden diss track in disguise.

Drake is known for paying attention to everything. He has no qualms about going after his enemies, Budden among them. With this context, it wasn’t a stretch to believe that the song was aimed at Budden. After all, the two haven’t liked each other very much over the past few years.

Last night, DJ Akademiks went on stream where he offered his take on the ordeal. As you will see in the clip below, he attempts to dispel the notion that “Janice STFU” is about Joe Budden. Instead, he is adamant that the song is more about people like Kendrick Lamar, and perhaps even Jay-Z.

DJ Akademiks Delivers The Truth

As Akademiks points out, the bars about white guilt and a white audience are clearly aimed at Kendrick. Meanwhile, some of the other bars in the song are about the music industry at large. As for “Janice,” Akademiks simply believes that this is a woman Drake has been dealing with.

Drake has kept his relationships quiet over the past few years, and Ak suggests this could all just be one big mystery. Having said that, there is no doubt that the Budden revelation is a huge coincidence that fans couldn’t help but overanalyze.

Regardless of whether or not this is really a diss, it is all but guaranteed that Joe addresses it on his podcast this week. Whether or not he hides it behind a Patreon paywall remains to be seen.
