Blueface recently entered the ring against streamer Chibu, and their boxing match was the big highlight from Adin Ross’ Brand Risk event last night (Saturday, March 14). However, it seems like Blue’s manager Wack 100 had some trouble getting into the event, and he didn’t appreciate how streamer N3on was apparently going to get in first.

DJ Akademiks caught a clip of the altercation on Instagram. In it, Wack is arguing with security guards outside of the venue, as they apparently were not letting him in yet. Instead, one of the guards said they would bring N3on in first, which the executive took issue with. “N3on ain’t more important than me, respectfully,” he said.

In the meantime, the streamer was just waiting behind for the security guards to direct him to come forward. Of course, everyone was able to get in at the end, so nothing alarming or combative happened. Still, it’s kind of wild to see when you consider their differing positions. Wack is one of the boxers’ managers, whereas N3on is just a streamer. Still, there’s not a lot of context here to explain what was actually happening.

Did Blueface Win His Fight?

Sadly, Wack 100’s client Blueface did not win yesterday. He lost by unanimous decision in his boxing match against Chibu, which he and many other fans felt was a robbery. Many others disagree, though.

“Adin, you know damn well you ain’t gon’ lose your own money on your own fight card,” the California rapper told Adin Ross after the fight. “I definitely wasn’t unanimous decision. I give it four to two. But hey, shout out to Brand Risk… I probably won’t get back on Brand Risk because you’re tampering with the bets.” “I’ll definitely never fight on Brand Risk again,” he said on a livestream shortly after. “Just based on Adin’s business skills.”

As such, it seems like it was a tough night for both associates. Wack 100’s management of Blueface has come under scrutiny before, but nothing like this had ever really happened. The viral moment might give Wack a chip on his shoulder next time he tries to get into a venue.

Ex-Adidas Executive Reveals Wild Yeezy Boost 350 “Cream White” Numbers https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/983335-yeezy-boost-350-cream-white-numbers-sneaker-news Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:54:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=983335 Jon Wexler revealed that the Yeezy "Cream White" sold generated $350 million in sales during its 3rd restock in just 24 hours.

The post Ex-Adidas Executive Reveals Wild Yeezy Boost 350 “Cream White” Numbers appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
In 2018, the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 “Cream White” made sneaker history. Jon Wexler, a former Adidas executive, shared some jaw-dropping numbers. According to Wexler, Adidas moved 1.4 million pairs in a single day. That translated into $350 million in revenue within 24 hours.

This wasn’t even the shoe’s first release. It was the third restock of the same colorway. Most sneakers struggle to sell out once, let alone three times. The “Cream White” somehow kept demand sky-high across every drop.

The numbers were staggering by any standard. Selling 1.4 million pairs in one day is virtually unheard of. Even major Nike releases rarely touch those figures. Kanye West and Adidas had built something truly powerful together.

Wexler shared the data publicly, giving fans rare insight into Yeezy’s business scale. The sneaker industry took notice immediately. No single colorway had ever generated that kind of volume so consistently. The Yeezy brand had officially crossed into a different league entirely.

The “Cream White” wasn’t a limited release either. Adidas made millions of pairs intentionally available to the public. That decision alone challenged everything the sneaker world thought it knew about hype. Scarcity had always driven demand, yet this shoe proved otherwise.

A widely available Yeezy still broke records. It showed the brand’s pull went far beyond exclusivity. Kanye’s influence was converting casual shoppers into buyers at a massive scale. The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 had become bigger than sneaker culture itself.

Jon Wexler Reveals Adidas Numbers

The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 “Cream White” is one of the cleanest sneakers ever made. The shoe is covered almost entirely in a soft, off-white knit material. There are no bold colors or loud graphics anywhere.

A thin, translucent stripe runs along the side, adding subtle detail. The sole unit is a matching cream color, keeping everything perfectly cohesive. The Boost cushioning underneath makes them incredibly comfortable to wear.

That combination of simplicity, comfort, and exclusivity is exactly why demand never died. Few sneakers have ever balanced wearability and hype so effortlessly.

The “Cream White” remains one of the most universally liked Yeezy colorways ever released.

DJ Phat Hit With Harrowing Grooming Allegations From Twitch Streamer https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/983322-dj-phat-grooming-allegations-from-twitch-streamer Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:50:38 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=983322 The streamer also accused DJ Phat of abusing lean, and he already seems to have denied the allegations on Twitter.

DJ Phat is a well-known figure in the hip-hop underground over the past few years, but allegations of grooming have spiraled his career into controversy. Now, he faces fresh allegations from a Twitch streamer, influencer, and content creator known as HONEY or @filuhpinaph on Twitter, where she made the accusations.

“Dj phat got his SoundCloud deleted in March 2020 because he sent a 15 year old boy nude pictures of his sister,” she alleged. “Cant sue me when ur broke. Cant sue me when its true. Dj phat woke up in his own s**t bc he was so backed up from sipping lean. This is a fact. Cant sue me cuz ur broke cant sue me when its true.” Some reports suggest that this is the daughter of Manny Pacquiao. However, no official information indicates that this is the case.

Via Twitter, it seems like Phat responded. “I think mfs need the clout more than me .. don’t give a f**k bout none of this s**t,” he tweeted today (Sunday, March 15). “I’ll keep my thoughts 2 myself lol idk who dat is,” Phat added while replying to another user. It seems like he and Honey had already fought on the social media platform before, so this is a massive escalation of that tension.

Who Is DJ Phat?

For those unaware, DJ Phat is a host, music industry voice, and of course, a DJ in the underground known for his work with Nettspend and many others. He faced grooming allegations before regarding that dynamic. Phat also gained notoriety for breaking records like Tay-K’s “The Race.”

As for Honey, she is a social media influencer and content creator with a large following, and she hasn’t really addressed the situation any further. However, she did tweet “Moral of the story: U can’t pick on and mess with the last person on yo corner” after she made these allegations.

We will see if this devolves into a more serious confrontation or issue as fans online continue to react. It seems like DJ Phat denied the allegations against him and will most likely brush them off for the foreseeable future. In any case, it’s a dark moment for Phat that many fans want answers for after previous allegations surfaced.

LaRussell Gets Torn Apart Online For New Song Referencing Jeffrey Epstein https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/983318-larussell-torn-apart-new-song-referencing-jeffrey-epstein Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:13:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=983318 LaRussell shared a track that calls Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Malcolm X, Adolf Hitler, Martin Luther King Jr., and Ye "heaven-sent."

The post LaRussell Gets Torn Apart Online For New Song Referencing Jeffrey Epstein appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
LaRussell has been a trending topic as of late, but it’s sadly more due to online controversies and debates rather than his actual music. His latest bit of Internet infamy came after he shared a new song on Twitter from one of his beloved live performances.

“I made this record and I sent it off to my engineer,” the Vallejo artist remarked before going into the track. “He say, ‘Man, you probably shouldn’t put this out… You talking about Epstein, it’s a lot of s**t going on.’ And I said, ‘Thank you for calling me. I’m finna drop this.’ That’s exactly why we need it. ‘Cause everybody sit and be silent. And the goal of an artist is to express the times, and say all the things that nobody else wants to say or knows how to say.”

Why the ruckus? Because the independently-minded artist name-dropped the aforementioned Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, and Adolf Hitler, calling them “heaven-sent” alongside Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. He said he’s not perfect, just like “the President,” and explained his intentions with the verse while responding to a critic.

“what do y’all think I’m saying in this song?” LaRussel wrote. “Is it the truth that’s bothersome or is it what YOU think I’m saying? I’m saying every human was made by God. Even the evil ones. Even the n***as going to hell alongside some of yall uncles, daddies, and favorite rappers.”

LaRussell’s Lil Wayne Take

Of course, this isn’t LaRussell’s first brush with virality. He recently explained why he thinks Lil Wayne doesn’t have a lot of substance in his music. This led many fans to call him out and argue against this perspective, which he explained further on social media.

Fan Reactions

When it comes to this new song, though, folks are even less charitable. We will see if LaRussell officially drops this at any point or if he continues to discuss the backlash to the track. Either way, it seems like he knows exactly the kind of reaction he’s getting from moments like this, and seems committed to pushing forward.

Playboi Carti To Team Up With Under Armour https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/983317-playboi-carti-opium-x-under-armour-streetwear-news Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:11:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=983317 Playboi Carti signed a multi-year partnership with Under Armour to create a gothic performance wear OPIUM launching late 2026.

The post Playboi Carti To Team Up With Under Armour appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Playboi Carti just officially signed a multi-year creative partnership with Under Armour. The deal marks a radical shift in the brand’s overall strategic direction entirely.

The collaboration focuses on a new sub-label centered around gothic performance wear aesthetics. Carti’s “Opium” aesthetic will define the entire creative direction of this partnership forward. Under Armour is explicitly trying to replicate the ASAP Rocky effect.

The partnership reportedly began after Carti wore custom OPIUM x Under Armour gear. A distressed “Antagonist” technical cap went viral during his January 2026 tour stops. The cap’s gothic aesthetic and punk-inspired design generated massive buzz immediately overall.

Under Armour sees Carti’s cult-like influence as essential to capturing high-fashion streetwear. The brand wants to redefine technical fabrics into experimental avant-garde silhouettes completely. This represents a bold departure from their traditional performance-focused brand positioning strategy.

Details remain sparse about what else will drop under this partnership exactly. The distressed “Antagonist” cap represents the only confirmed product we’ve seen so far. Its monochromatic palette and punk hardware hint at the overall creative direction ahead.

This partnership signals Under Armour’s serious commitment to youth culture and streetwear. Carti’s fanbase represents exactly the demographic the brand wants to reach currently. The collaboration could completely transform how people perceive Under Armour’s brand identity overall.

Playboi Carti’s OPIUM x Under Armour

The “Antagonist” cap Carti wore became the face of this partnership instantly. That black Under Armour cap features gothic-inspired distressing and punk hardware details throughout.

The monochromatic colorway keeps everything looking intentional and cohesive aesthetically speaking here. The cap’s design language hints at what the full collection might eventually look like. Carti’s styling with the cap showed how to wear high-fashion athletic gear.

The details give it that experimental avant-garde vibe both partners are chasing. This single piece generated enough buzz to confirm a major multi-year deal happening. It’s genuinely rare for one accessory to signal something this significant coming soon.

The post Adidas Files Major Lawsuit Against Sole Retriever Over Leaks appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Adidas just filed a federal lawsuit against Sole Retriever and founder Harris Monoson. The accusations are serious and the evidence is pretty damning here per Complex.

According to court documents, Monoson sent an aggressive email to multiple Adidas executives. He demanded the platform receive preferential treatment and insider access to drops. The tone was unhinged, claiming Sole Retriever deserved respect as a “brand’s dream partner.”

Monoson basically threatened to leak the entire Anthony Edwards 2 lineup if ignored. He claimed they had every colorway unreleased and would post them publicly. The email explicitly stated they wouldn’t hold back on leaking confidential product information.

Two days later, Sole Retriever posted the “Bred” colorway on Instagram and X. They called it a “speculative mock up” but it was actually a stolen image. The post went viral immediately with sneaker collectors losing their minds completely.

This wasn’t speculation it was confidential Adidas design work leaked to the world. Sole Retriever essentially proved Monoson’s threat was completely legitimate and real. The platform had access to classified product information somehow internally sourced.

The lawsuit alleges corporate extortion, trade secret theft, and copyright infringement happened. Adidas is seeking millions in damages and a permanent injunction against leaks. Statutory penalties could reach up to $150,000 per willful infringement in total.

The sneaker community is split on this situation honestly speaking right now. Some see Monoson as a villain extorting a major corporation aggressively overall. Others view him as fighting against gatekeeping in the sneaker release system entirely.

Adidas Sues Sole Retriever

The Anthony Edwards 2 “Bred” colorway represents exactly why this lawsuit matters so much. That vibrant red paired with black leather and white accents looks fire.

The performance basketball silhouette shows Adidas’s commitment to serious court innovation. Sole Retriever’s Instagram post claiming it was “speculative” fooled nobody in the community.

Sneakerheads immediately recognized this was actual leaked product design work stolen somewhere. The “Bred” nickname echoes iconic Jordan 1 legacy making this particularly significant.

This colorway would’ve dropped later this year creating massive hype and sales. Monoson’s threat to leak the entire lineup gave Adidas no choice but legal action.

Sole Retriever Response To Adidas

Sole Retriever just fired back with an official statement on X denying everything. The platform claims they’re a proudly independent media company covering sneaker culture.

They’re framing Adidas’s lawsuit as an attack on free speech and press freedom. Monoson’s team is invoking First Amendment protections for their reporting activities overall.

They deny the allegations entirely and say they’ll mount a vigorous court defense. The statement thanks the sneaker community for continued support during this legal battle. This response shows Sole Retriever is taking the lawsuit seriously and fighting back hard.

Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have been happily together for a long time, but new allegations questions their family dynamics in their wider orbit. The mother of Swizz’s 17-year-old daughter Nicole Dean, Jahna Sebastian, took to Instagram with some harrowing accusations against the couple regarding Nicole.

As caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, she shared a video of an alleged bag of vapes belonging to Nicole, accusing the couple of enabling her alleged addiction to drugs and vapes. Sebastian only specifically mentioned marijuana regarding drugs. She also claimed that Nicole hit her in Swizz and Alicia’s defense, prompting this online callout.

Jahna Sebastian said she’s also spoken to her former partner about her concerns, but alleged that he’s ignored her at every turn. She also complained about heavy social media use despite her complaints and a lack of education focus, accusing the couple of taking Nicole out on yachts with celebrities and millionaires. Sebastian also accused Swizz threatening and harassing her multiple times over the years.

At press time, it seems like the married couple of 15 years hasn’t responded to these allegations at press time. We will see if that changes soon.

Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys’ Kids

Jahna Sebastian and Swizz Beatz welcomed their daughter Nicole in 2008. She is his third child following Prince Nasir Dean with Nicole Levy in 2000 and Kasseem Dean Jr. with ex wife Mashonda Tifrere in 2006. His and Alicia Keys’ children (her only two kids) are their son Egypt Daoud Dean, born in 2010, and their son Genesis Ali Dean, born in 2014.

This is not the first time that Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have faced drama. However, previous instances were much more light. When she danced with Usher and embraced him at the Super Bowl a few years ago, many folks lit the timeline up with indignant or puzzled reactions to the debate.

We will see if either artist responds to these allegations. In the meantime, they will probably continue their extracurricular career endeavors and continue being stars. But these accusations from Jahna Sebastian cast a dark alleged shadow over that. None of these accusations have been confirmed or addressed, so we’ll see if anyone speaks out any further on this.

Claressa Shields Has Advice For Blueface After Boxing Loss To Chibu https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/983304-claressa-shields-advice-blueface-boxing-loss-chibu Sun, 15 Mar 2026 18:50:28 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=983304 Claressa Shields and Blueface are both dealing with drama right now, but it's nothing that a good training session can't distract from.

The post Claressa Shields Has Advice For Blueface After Boxing Loss To Chibu appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Claressa Shields is the GWOAT, which makes her boxing expertise very useful for folks like Blueface who might want to level up their game. After he lost a boxing match to Chibu last night (Saturday, March 14) during a Brand Risk event hosted by Adin Ross, she chimed in with some advice.

The boxer also had advice for Pepa and Treach’s daughter Egypt Criss, who also lost a recent boxing match. “Egypt loss her fight, blue face loss…I think these public figures need at least 6 months in the gym before they start fighting in real fights, my opinion,” she tweeted this weekend, as caught by No Jumper on Instagram. “Well, I watched the fight and I thought big boy won too, crazy fight tho,” Shields responded to a fan who claimed Blue got robbed.

In fact, he agrees with that fan. The California rapper expressed disappointment over the loss, both to Ross’ face after the match and during a livestream. “Adin, you know damn well you ain’t gon’ lose your own money on your own fight card,” he told Ross. “I definitely wasn’t unanimous decision. I give it four to two. But hey, shout out to Brand Risk… I probably won’t get back on Brand Risk because you’re tampering with the bets.” “I’ll definitely never fight on Brand Risk again. Just based on Adin’s business skills,” Blueface shared on stream.

Who Is Chibu?

Blueface took his loss to Chibu, a popular streamer who made his boxing debut against him. Many fans considered this an upset, and they continue to debate the judges’ unanimous decision in Chibu’s favor.

Elsewhere, though, Claressa Shields has other fights to comment on. But this one is wholly online, and it’s one she’s involved in. Shields has been beefing with 50 Cent in defense of Papoose, and clapped back at 50 and Maserati Bud’s claims that she cheated on Pap with Bud.

Meanwhile, Blueface took a break from his romantic drama during this boxing match, although it didn’t turn out the best for him. He recently reignited conflict with Chrisean Rock by once again claiming their son Chrisean Jr. is not actually his, which she has already denied.

A few days ago, Kid Cudi dropped the new track “RIDE RIDE” on SoundCloud, and he revealed he has a lot more to share. He dropped off two new singles, “DROWN” and “HALO’S ON ANGELS,” on the streaming platform, which go in a more alternative rock and pop direction. Not only that, but Cudi revealed on social media that he’s putting out his first EP on Friday (March 20) as a prelude to a new album. Considering that he previously teased taking a long break from music, this is very good news for hardcore fans. We’ll see how that EP sounds and how fast we’ll get a new LP.

Genre: Alternative Rock/Pop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from DROWN

Telling my friends, “I’m just joking, take a joke, you guys”
Shooting myself in the feet,
Turn on my phone, shut the noise out

The post 50 Cent Goes After His Ex In Court After Life Rights Battle Leads To A Loss appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
50 Cent isn’t just juggling many rap beefs right now, but he also has a long court battle to prepare for regarding his ex girlfriend and the mother of his son Marquise Jackson, Shaniqua Tompkins. After a judge dismissed a default judgement against her in his favor in their life rights legal battle, he took the next step to win out in the end.

According to an exclusive AllHipHop report from Grouchy Greg Watkins, the G-Unit mogul filed a notice of appeal in New York’s appellate court seeking to reverse Justice Robert R. Reed’s ruling. Reed blocked his attempt to win this case by default, as 50’s team claimed that Tompkins missed the deadline to properly respond to this suit. The judge found that she had a legitimate reason to miss it and a legitimate defense to argue for.

Judge Reed outlined 20 days for Tompkins to respond, reportedly scheduling a preliminary conference for May 5 of this year. She claimed she never lived at the addresses that Fif’s team tried to serve her at. Also, Shaniqua Tompkins alleged that she only learned about the lawsuit against her upon receiving calls from reporters.

As such, Judge Reed ruled that G-Unit Books didn’t show they properly served her. Their appeal in response seeks to reverse the entire decision, providing the default judgement and speeding up an curt-ordered injunction.

For those unaware, 50 Cent’s lawsuit against Shaniqua Tompkins is via the G-Unit Books company. They claim that she signed a life rights agreement in 2007 that gave the company control over her story in the public eye. Tompkins’ interviews and public statements about 50, according to G-Unit Books’ accusations, cost them a book they were planning. They seek over a million dollars.

However, Tompkins argues that she signed the life rights agreement under pressure, claiming that Fif and his manager Chris Lighty intimidated and threatened her. She claimed this wasn’t a voluntary decision.

As such, it seems like both sides will continue to battle in court for the foreseeable future, unless this appeal attempt secures a victory. If not, then this situation will likely grow more complex and cumbersome moving forward.
