Nine years ago, during Paris Fashion Week, Drake teamed up with Louis Vuitton for their 2018 Spring/Summer collection. This collaboration included a song called “Signs.” It is a song that very much has the feel of something he would have made during the recording sessions for “Views.” This was also a few months after the release of More Life, when it felt like Drake was the most unstoppable artist in the world. This song was another example of the artist having the ability to drop smash hits at will. Overall, it’s a song we still go back to, and with the ninth anniversary taking place today, we will have this on repeat.

Release Date: June 23, 2017

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Signs

And you get what you want, always from me
I can’t say “No” when you say “Please,” I can’t say “No”
Howisha, you need a… baby with me, uh
And I’m takin’ my time, just wait, don’t leave

Immediately following the news of Tay Keith’s unfortunate passing, Nashville police said in a statement that he was discovered deceased during a wellness check. Today (June 22), TMZ gave an update to the unfolding story, sharing audio of the 911 call from the famed producer’s girlfriend. She wasn’t named in the reports, but on the call, it was clear she was concerned after not hearing from Tay Keith for 24 hours.

The woman told the dispatcher that she was already in the lobby of Keith’s home and would wait for officers to arrive. She said that the previous day, “He asked me to come over, and I got here, and I was trying to call him to let him know, and I haven’t gotten a response since.”

Additionally, on the call, the woman said that Tay was known to have “breathing complications” and “high blood pressure.” She claimed that communication with the producer suddenly stopped, and when she tried knocking on his door, there was no answer.

Meanwhile, Nashville police issued a brief statement on Twitter days ago. “No foul play is suspected in the death of Brytavious Chambers, 29, also known as Grammy nominated record producer Tay Keith,” they wrote. “He was found dead in his Martin St apt this afternoon by officers performing a welfare check. His death is unclassified pending autopsy results.”

The Hip Hop community and beyond continue to mourn Tay Keith’s loss. Listen to the 911 audio below.

T.I. Clarifies Verzuz Comments After Timbaland’s Reaction https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999549-ti-timbaland-verzuz-comments-budden Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:45:25 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999549 After T.I. called Verzuz "poor people activity," Timbaland was confused. Tip returned to explain himself after being criticized.

The post T.I. Clarifies Verzuz Comments After Timbaland’s Reaction appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
T.I.’s recent remarks about Verzuz stirred up a bit of controversy, and now they have elicited a response from Timbaland himself. For years, T.I. has teased the idea that he was ready for a Verzuz, even naming a few worthy opponents that he would see on the stage. It was just earlier this year that he and 50 Cent even engaged in a back-and-forth about Verzuz, which led the Harris family to run to the booth to unleash bars on Fif.

It seems that after having some time to think things over, T.I. has had a change of heart. While chatting with the Joe Budden Podcast, he disparaged the platform. “I don’t want to indulge in that side of life no more. I ain’t even interested, bruh. Ain’t no money over there in that sh*t, bruh. That sh*t poor people activity,” the Atlanta icon said. “I’m 45. What I’m doing going back-and-forth with a n*gga, man? Like, for what, bro?”

Tip Details His Intentions

There are many great minds who helped make Verzuz become the success it is today, but Timbaland and Swizz Beatz are the frontrunners. The two hitmaking producers have been instrumental in the evolution of Verzuz, creating a platform that changed the game in the type of Hip Hop performances fans now expect on a regular basis. So, it was expected that, following T.I.’s remarks circulating online, Tim or Swizz would react quickly. The Virginia icon was the first with just one word: “Huh?”

Later, Tip returned to explain his initial comments, stating, “First of all, I was drinking.” Then he said he was speaking from his own experience regarding being considered for the platform. T.I. added that he wasn’t interested in creating another list of artists he would like to match up against because, when he did that before, it turned into bickering on social media. Check it out below.

Gunna Rocks Ultra-Rare TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999543-gunna-tag-heuer-monaco-chronograph-streetwear-news Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:03:08 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999543 Gunna wore a TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph at the Monaco Grand Prix, a watch with deep ties to motorsport history.

The post Gunna Rocks Ultra-Rare TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Gunna was spotted wearing a TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph at the Monaco Grand Prix. The race took place across the weekend of June 5 through 7th. Wearing a Monaco branded watch at the race itself adds a perfect layer to the moment.

The watch actually gets its name from the Formula One race held in Monaco. Heuer first introduced the model back in 1969. It became the first square shaped, water resistant watch ever made. That motorsport connection runs deeper than most casual fans probably realize.

The watch later gained massive attention through Steve McQueen, who wore one in “Le Mans.” That role earned it the nickname “McQueen Monaco” among collectors. It picked up more attention years later through “Breaking Bad,” worn by Walter White. Those moments helped the watch stay relevant decades after its debut.

Gunna’s watch leaned fully black instead of the brand’s classic blue dial. Black dial Monaco versions have existed before through select limited releases. Paired with diamond jewelry, the watch still felt right at home trackside.

Plenty of other celebrities also attended the race weekend in Monaco. Actors, athletes, and musicians filled the crowd throughout the event. Wearing a Monaco watch at the Monaco Grand Prix felt almost too perfect.

Gunna’s TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph

Naming the watch after the Monaco Grand Prix was a deliberate move from the start. It established a connection to racing before any official partnership even existed. That bold approach matched the watch’s equally bold square design.

A square case felt extreme for a sports watch at the time it launched. Most chronographs back then stuck to traditional round shapes instead. The watch also ran on one of the very first chronograph movements with a micro rotor.

That combination of design and engineering helped set it apart early on. Decades later, the Monaco still carries that same racing identity. Seeing it worn at the actual Grand Prix ties the watch back to its original purpose. It’s a detail most people at the race probably never noticed.

Mystikal’s Son Speaks Out, Hopes Rapper Gets Help In Prison https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999534-mystikal-son-speaks-help-prison Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:00:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999534 As Mystikal prepares for his 20-year sentence after pleading guilty to third-degree rape, his son is discussing the case for the first time.

The post Mystikal’s Son Speaks Out, Hopes Rapper Gets Help In Prison appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A long-running legal battle has come to a close with a sentence that will keep veteran rapper Mystikal behind bars for the next two decades. The New Orleans native, born Michael Tyler, recently received a 20-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to third-degree rape in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. The plea deal was a compromise to Mystikal’s original first-degree rape charge, which he faced following his 2022 arrest. Prosecutors had also accused Mystikal of false imprisonment, domestic abuse battery, and robbery stemming from allegations that a woman was sexually assaulted at his Prairieville home.

Further, during court proceedings, the victim reportedly described a violent encounter and spoke directly about the impact the assault had on her life. Days before sentencing, Mystikal attempted to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming he was under emotional distress when he accepted the agreement, but the court denied the request. The conviction also arrives more than two decades after the rapper served prison time in a separate sexual battery case. Now, his son is speaking out, telling TMZ that he hopes his father will receive the help that he needs.

A Family Has Been Emotionally Exhausted

Million Tyler caught up with the outlet and stated he was “hoping for the best for my father.” He also stated that he was in the courtroom as Mystikal’s victim testified. Tyler was asked if he believed the verdict was fair, but he didn’t answer directly. Instead, he admitted that he felt several emotions during the trial. “All I can say is it was pretty emotional to see both sides and to see it all unfolding.”

“Nobody wins from these situations,” he added. “It’s hard for both parties if we’re being honest.” The interview ended with Tyler delivering a message to his father. “I hope you get the help you need. I really hope you do.” Check out the video below.

Tiffany – Song by YG https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999527-tiffany-yg Mon, 22 Jun 2026 20:55:34 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999527 YG raps about transphobia and toxic masculinity on his new song, "Tiffany" off the new album, "The Gentlemen's Club."

The post Tiffany – Song by YG appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

YG is delving into a serious topic on his new song, “Tiffany,” which was released as part of his new album, The Gentlemen’s Club. The song is a masterclass of storytelling as YG describes a man at a nightclub who is flirting with a woman named Tiffany. The two hit it off, and eventually, they went back to the man’s place. However, while undressing, Tiffany reveals she is a trans woman. This sends the man into a fit of rage. The beat changes, and he begins berating Tiffany for “deceiving him.” The song ends with Tiffany pleading for her life. It’s a song about transphobia, toxic masculinity, and the intersection of those two issues. Overall, it’s rare that we hear a song that taps into these themes in such a visceral way. It’s commendable for YG to delve into these waters, and he is receiving serious praise for doing so.

Release Date: June 19, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: The Gentlemen’s Club

Quotable Lyrics from Tiffany

On this night, Chris met Tiffany
Tiffany was at the club wearing Tiffany
In the middle of the club, they played Central Cee
And that’s how they met, I guess it’s meant to be

The post The Air Jordan 6 “Oreo” Finally Gets A Release Date appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Air Jordan 6 “Oreo” officially returns on August 8th, 2026 per Sneaker Bar Detroit. New in hand photos are giving fans their best look yet. This marks the colorway’s first ever rerelease since its original 2010 debut.

The shoe keeps a simple white and black color blocking throughout. Black suede covers the base, contrasting against tumbled white leather overlays. Speckled detailing covers the black midsole, lace lock, and heel.

That speckled finish is where the “Oreo” nickname comes from. The tongue and inner liner also are in that same color in matching black for consistency.

One small update sets this version apart from the original. A new translucent blue outsole replaces the old colorless rubber used in 2010. That older rubber was known for yellowing over time. This change should help the shoe hold up better long term.

Original 2010 pairs have sold for anywhere between $250 and $550. That demand makes this one of the bigger Air Jordan 6 releases of the year.

The shoe will be available in full family sizing across major Jordan Brand retailers. This drop also lines up with the Air Jordan 6’s 35th anniversary celebration.

Air Jordan 6 “Oreo”

Tinker Hatfield originally modeled the Air Jordan 6 after Michael Jordan’s Ferrari. That influence still shapes the shoe’s overall silhouette today.

Jordan Brand teased a “Reverse Oreo” version back in 2024, swapping the color balance slightly. That version leaned more cream than black, missing the original’s contrast. This 2026 release goes back to the formula fans remember most.

Even the lace lock carries that same speckled finish, tying the whole shoe together. Nothing about the design feels overly complicated or busy. That simplicity is part of why the colorway has stayed so requested over the years.

Pairing clean color blocking with subtle texture keeps the shoe versatile. It works with almost any outfit, which adds to its lasting appeal among collectors.

Overall, sneakerheads are incredibly excited for the return of this pair.

Federal Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Alleging Drake Benefited From Spotify Bots https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999523-drake-rbx-lawsuit-dismissed Mon, 22 Jun 2026 20:33:27 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999523 RBX accused Spotify of allowing artists like Drake to benefit from bots, but now, a judge is throwing the case out.

The post Federal Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Alleging Drake Benefited From Spotify Bots appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Back in November, RBX, the cousin of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, accused Spotify of allowing artists like Drake to benefit from bots. These accusations were leveled in a lawsuit that was not well received by the public at the time. Even the biggest Drake haters were a bit confused by the point of all this.

The former Death Row Records artist claimed Drake and others were receiving billions of botted streams every single year. He claimed that these bots were hurting smaller artists who were being suppressed in the algorithm.

“Billions of fraudulent streams have been generated with respect to songs of ‘the most streamed artist of all time,’ Aubrey Drake Graham, professionally known as Drake,” RBX’s lawyers wrote at the time.

According to Billboard, a federal judge has officially tossed out the lawsuit. Now, RBX has 21 days to refile, or he can just forget about it all together.

Judge Strikes Down RBX Lawsuit

Just last month, another similar lawsuit against Spotify was dismissed. This lawsuit accused Spotify of “fabricating” Drake’s streaming success. This lawsuit had nothing to do with the one filed by RBX.

Bots became a huge point of contention during Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar. At the time, some felt as though Kendrick was using bots. Meanwhile, others felt the same about Drake. This subsequently led to discourse about numbers and whether or not any of the Spotify statistics we see are authentic.

Spotify has been cracking down on botted streams as of late, removing such streams from overall counts on the platform. Whether or not they can kill the use of bots entirely still remains to be seen.

Foolio was murdered while celebrating his birthday back in May of 2024. The artist was ambushed at a hotel in Tampa, Florida. Four men, Isaiah Chance, Rashad Murphy, Davion Murphy, and Sean Gathright, were all convicted on first-degree murder charges just a few months ago.

Today, Judge Michelle Sisco decided to give all four of these men life in prison with no chance of parole, according to XXL. Originally, all four suspects were at risk of receiving the death penalty. During the trial, the jury decided against it.

As for their sentences, there are additional charges that they will be serving time for. Although these sentences are to be served concurrently. Life in prison is life in prison, regardless of the years attached.

Foolio’s Murderers Get Sentenced

Previously, three of the four men made statements in the courtroom. Isaiah Chance had one of the more profound statements, as he noted how dissing just isn’t worth it. He noted that all of this was senseless, and that lives were ruined for no reason.

“It ain’t worth it,” Chance said. “The dissing, the beefing, the shooting. Like, for what? When you’re sitting in your cell alone, cold, lonely …Everybody leaves you. Nobody is here for you. My only interaction with law enforcement [before this] was traffic tickets. Wake up the next morning, I’m facing the death penalty. That’s how quick life can change.”

There was a fifth person in the case who was tried separately. Alicia Andrews was eventually convicted of manslaughter and received a 15-year prison sentence despite an appeal.

A new unboxing video is giving fans an in hand look at the Sp5der x Adidas F50 Formotion. Young Thug’s Sp5der label continues its ongoing partnership with Adidas through this latest release. The shoe takes shape as a retro runner covered almost entirely in metallic silver.

The base of the shoe borrows from the original Adizero F50 Formotion silhouette. Silver metallic dominates most of the upper, with black and red used as contrast. One small detail stands out once the shoe moves in hand. The side tab reads “adizero” from one angle, but shifts to show “sp5der” from another.

Sp5der branding also shows up on the tongue and heel of the shoe. A spider shaped hangtag ties back to the brand once more. Extra laces included with the pair come in bright green, pink, black, and purple. A small silver spider charm comes bundled in with those laces.

This isn’t the first time Sp5der and Adidas have worked together this year. Their previous project together was an exclusive take on the Adidas Superstar. That release helped build momentum heading into this newest collaboration.

The SP5DER x Adidas F50 Formotion “Silver Metallic” is expected to launch sometime this month. It will be available through kingspider.co and Adidas.com.

Sp5der x Adidas F50 Formotion Details

The shoe blends a tech runner base with leather overlays shaped like the three stripes. That combination places it somewhere between a soccer boot and a retro running shoe.

Underneath, the sole splits into two separate traction sections. One section rings the heel, while a smaller pad sits under the midfoot. That layout gives the shoe a distinct look from the side.

The model originally debuted through a New York pop-up celebrating the Sp5der brand. Early attendees at that event received free pairs before any wider release.

Sp5der has built its identity around shimmering, eye catching designs across its apparel line. This silver colorway keeps that same visual approach going. Even small details, like the hidden branding on the side tab, reflect that attention throughout the shoe.

Overall, this sneaker is positioning itself for a massive release.
