It’s been an undoubtedly tough few weeks for Stefon Diggs, and now, he’s in for yet another major change. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the New England Patriots are going to release him. It’ll be official starting next week, when the league year officially begins. Diggs addressed the move in a short post on Instagram. “THANK YOU for a hell of a year,” he wrote. “We family forever.”

News of the Patriots’ decision to release Diggs comes just weeks after his split from Cardi B, with whom he shares one child. Reportedly, the two of them decided to go their separate ways shortly before the Super Bowl last month. At the time of writing, neither of them has publicly addressed the breakup.

During one of the femcee’s recent stops on her “Little Miss Drama” tour, however, fans suspected that she threw a bit of shade his way.

“It’s called the principle. You can’t be out here playing with a b*tch like me. There’s n***a out here praying for a b*tch like me. You hear me?” she said onstage. “You ain’t never had a bad b*tch like this, n***a. Never in your motherf*cking life! None of them b*tches ain’t f*cking with me!”

Cardi later took to Twitter/X to seemingly clarify that she was not talking about Diggs, noting that she was simply quoting her own lyrics. “Dear blogs, when I perform a song I always introduce the song with a lil razzle dazzle,” she explained. “Not everything is a shot or personal. I’m actually repeating lyrics from the songs…Relax.”

The Patriots’ decision to release Diggs also comes a few months after he was accused of assaulting his former private chef.

Steph Curry Spotted In Bad Bunny’s Adidas BadBo 1.0 Courtside https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/981294-steph-curry-adidas-badbo-1-0-sneaker-news Wed, 04 Mar 2026 21:44:25 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=981294 Steph Curry wore Bad Bunny's Adidas BadBo 1.0 sneakers courtside while sidelined with runner's knee during a Warriors game.

Stephen Curry appeared courtside wearing Bad Bunny’s Adidas BadBo 1.0 sneakers during a recent Warriors game. The injured point guard is currently sidelined with runner’s knee and missing significant playing time. He’s expected to miss at least 10 more days as of early March 2026.

Curry wore the grey suede BadBo 1.0 while watching his team from the bench in street clothes. The sneakers represent Bad Bunny’s signature model with Adidas featuring retro basketball design influences throughout.

This marks another instance of Curry promoting sneakers outside his primary Under Armour endorsement deal. The BadBo 1.0 features a clean grey suede upper with minimal branding and classic basketball silhouette.

Blue Adidas branding appears on the tongue providing subtle color contrast against the neutral base. The translucent outsole gives the shoe vintage aesthetic appeal reminiscent of 90s basketball sneakers.

Curry has a history of wearing various sneaker brands casually as his Under Armour deal closes. His courtside appearances generate significant attention from sneaker fans and media coverage across social platforms.

The BadBo 1.0 gains valuable visibility through Curry’s endorsement even while he’s injured currently. Bad Bunny’s Adidas partnership continues expanding with signature basketball models beyond just lifestyle releases previously.

The BadBo 1.0 represents the artist’s first true basketball sneaker in his growing footwear catalog. Curry wearing them courtside provides mainstream NBA credibility to the Latin superstar’s signature shoe.

The BadBo 1.0 has that classic retro basketball aesthetic that’s been trending lately in sneakers. Grey suede gives these a premium, elevated look compared to typical mesh basketball shoes.

The minimal branding approach lets the silhouette speak for itself without excessive logos everywhere. That translucent outsole is such a nice vintage touch that brings 90s nostalgia perfectly.

Bad Bunny’s signature basketball shoe entering the NBA space through Curry is genuinely significant. The blue Adidas branding on the tongue provides just enough color without overwhelming things.

These feel like they could actually work on court despite being a musician’s signature model. Steph wearing them injured still generates way more buzz than most sneakers get.

Boosie Badazz says he wants permission to travel to China to receive diabetes treatment, which he learned about on social media. He explained his request in response to a post from SayCheeseTV, which claimed scientists in China have been able to reverse type 1 and type 2 diabetes through the use of stem cells.

The post read: “China scientists have successfully used stem cells to reverse type 1 and type 2 diabetes in humans. Stem cells are helping some Type 1 patients make insulin naturally. No injections, no pumps — just your body doing the work.”

“CAN SOMEONE CALL MY ASSISTANT,” Boosie replied in his since-deleted post, adding their phone number. “If U can get me THIS DONE SO I CAN ASK MY PO N JUDGE FOR PERMISSION TO GO TO CHINA.”

The exact sourcing of the post from SayCheeseTV remains unclear. The American Medical Journal previously published a story about a woman in China receiving an experimental stem-cell treatment for Type 1 diabetes, but that was back in 2024. Regardless, Boosie appears to be interested.

Boosie Badazz’s Gun Case

As for why he’d need permission to travel to China, Boosie was recently sentenced to three years of supervised release due to a federal gun case. He also got hit with a $50K fine and will have to complete 300 community service hours.

“I’m blessed to have my freedom,” he said afterward in a video caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram. “It’s time to turn up now. I couldn’t do a lot of s**t because of this situation that I was going through. I got three movies ready, I got probably seven albums ready. I’m finna push the gas. I can do shows again. 2026, we lit. All my Boosie fans, we back, baby. Ain’t going nowhere. God did it for us again.”

Lil Yachty Reveals His Mount Rushmore Of SoundCloud Rappers With A Notable Omission https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/981253-lil-yachty-reveals-mount-rushmore-soundcloud-rappers Wed, 04 Mar 2026 20:30:59 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=981253 Lil Yachty decided to leave Juice Wrld out of his picks, explaining that he felt he came after the original era.

Lil Yachty has revealed who would make his “Mount Rushmore” of rappers from the height of the SoundCloud era. Sitting down with Bootleg Kev for a recent interview, he went with himself, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, XXXTentacion, and Lil Peep, naming more than the usual four selections for a Mount Rushmore.

“In my opinion, I always said it was me, Uzi, X– like we’re talking actual SoundCloud. In my opinion, I’ll probably get some flak for this, but I’d like to say Lil Tracy. Oh and Carti. I think my Rushmore is me, Uzi, Carti, X, and Lil Peep,” he said.

From there, he explained why he left Juice Wrld off the list. “Juice really wasn’t a part of our era,” he noted. “He came after us. I remember in that era, X was going crazy. I remember Tay K was going crazy, I think Tay K would’ve been huge had his situation…”

When Kurrco shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), debate ensued in the replies. “Ppl saying juice, trippie, summrs dont know what the purpose of a mt rushmore list is, its for the founding fathers. Really nobody that came out after late 2015 ish should be on the list, and even that is pushing it,” one user argued. Another wrote: “Carti, Peep, and Uzi and X. Each of these individuals create a genre and style and is still replicated today.”

Lil Uzi Vert’s Next Album

Yachty’s praise of Lil Uzi Vert comes as the rapper has been making headlines for a new interview with Dazed, published on Tuesday. During the discussion, they told the outlet that they’re working on a new album.  

“You gotta understand, I got so many flows,” they said. “My fans don’t really appreciate when I make a big mainstream song. They say, ‘Well, we want a trapped-out Uzi.’ Then I make a trap song and they say, ‘Uzi, you know better than this, you make quality music, we can’t even hear it.’ So instead of meeting those people in the middle, I make two different genres of music… I have my real drops that I usually drop on holidays or I have a countdown.”

DJ Akademiks is one personality who never hesitates to speak his mind online, regardless of whose feelings he might hurt. During a recent stream, for example, he shared his thoughts on a clip of Lil Baby and Young Thug cruising around in a car together. He joked that the YSL founder looked more like a woman showing off her new boo than a rapper teasing something with his collaborator.

“Not one time did Lil Baby acknowledge the f*cking camera,” he pointed out. “You know he was on some ‘I gotta tell this n***a to delete this sh*t.'”

Ak’s latest jabs come just a few days after he weighed in on a potential upcoming Young Thug and Lil Baby collab. He didn’t hold back in the slightest, making it clear that his expectations are not high. Moreover, he claimed that the two artists have little to no chance of succeeding without the help of their former friend, Gunna.

DJ Akademiks Disses Young Thug & Lil Baby

“Am I expecting some heat from these two? I’mma be honest with y’all, no. I know some of y’all think I’m just gonna be hating. No, I’m gonna call a spade a spade,” he stated at the time. “This is two ice cubes linking up together, man. They might as well be in the freezer together. That’s a fact.”

“They better be driving to Gunna’s crib,” Ak continued. “They better put in the GPS, ‘Gunna Wunna’s crib.’ Straight up. […] This is damn near the ice bucket challenge. Y’all might as well just go to Gunna’s crib. Gunna got the sauce, I’m sorry.”

“Lil Baby don’t got no national hits right now,” he added. “This sh*t’s looking cold. Young Thug has the biggest fumble since he got out of jail. Biggest. We’ve never seen a fumble like this. From Gucci, to T.I., to YoungBoy, to Boosie. He did everything possible wrong and then dropped an album that was underwhelming at that.”

Anderson .Paak’s estranged wife, Jae Lin, has filed for primary physical custody of their children, asking that the Ventura singer take secondary physical custody and visitation.

Filing for divorce, Lin cited “irreconcilable differences” in her marriage with .Paak, according to TMZ. As for a separation date, she wrote “TBD,” as did .Paak in his own filing in 2024. .Paak and Lin married back in 2010 and share two kids. They are ages 9 and 13.

As for Jeannie Mai, she and her ex-husband, Jeezy, divorced in 2024 after three years of marriage. They share a four-year-old daughter, Monaco. Mai reflected on the breakup and how she’s been trying to avoid any “turmoil” for their child during an appearance on the Question Everything podcast in January. “That’s not something I want her to ever have to think about,” she said at the time. “My job is to define peace for her. So, she’s going to get that.”

“Divorce, it’s experiencing death alive,” Mai added, speaking of the separation as a whole. “There’s no way to understand that feeling of space shared with somebody and all of a sudden it closing in, to where you even wonder if you can trust yourself in your thoughts because one day you had a plan and you had these thoughts and then suddenly it becomes something else.”

Earlier this week, NBA YoungBoy got into it with his ex Arcola online. He and Arcola have one child together, and in various posts on Twitter/X, she insinuated that the rapper isn’t doing his part as a parent. She even shared one critic’s tweet, which accused him of prioritizing his dating life over his kids. “Boy shut up and get them kids,” the critic wrote. “Talked all that shi about Sherhonda picking men over you & yo rich a**!iterally doing the same.”

“Ahahahaaa this the one and not the 2,” she replied. This earned a fiery response from YB, who didn’t hold back in the slightest. “Girl f**k yo baby! You a never try again! Tell the world knock on my door,” he declared. “Tbh have y’all can go to court b*** I’ll gladly pay it’s f** you. I don’t play or do no pretending idc idgaf fwm.”

This earned him some serious backlash, as social media users called him out for dissing his own son.

Now, it looks like he might be feeling the weight of that backlash, as he appears to have deactivated his social media accounts. It’s unclear exactly when the accounts were deactivated, but it was after Arcola accused him of allowing their son to get hurt on his watch.

“You don’t even love yourself b*tch!” she wrote. “I know it’s f*ck my baby, it’s been f*ck my baby when you let his finger get burned and yo lying a** wife said he got bit bye a ‘dog’ f*ck you and everything you stand for b*tch, you gone rot in hell too.”

“I took care of KAELL BY MYSELF AND YOU KNOW THIS BE FR MY N***A,” she said in a follow-up tweet. “WHEN I DID ASK FOR STUFF IT WAS THE BARE MINIMUM AND YOU COULDNT EVEN DO THAT. I LOST ALL RESPECT FOR YOU WHEN YOU LET THAT B*TCH HIT ME WITH WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT AND OUR CHILD WAS IN MY HANDS.

Doechii is certainly no stranger to backlash, and this week, she’s under fire for saying she dislikes cats.

“People act like it’s a crime to dislike cats when they genuinely aren’t friendly animals,” she posted on Threads. “They don’t wanna be domestic just leave em alone! Like it’s not organic I’m sorrryyy be fr it’s rare that cats are immediately lovey without years of pain and work put in [crying emoji] yall be scratched and beat tf up by your own animals I can’t lmaoooo.”

Cat lovers were quick to call her out. Many accused her of being uneducated and insisted that she just hadn’t met the right feline friend. Doechii, on the other hand, stands by what she said. Amid the uproar, she posted a clip of Tiffany “New York” Pollard getting a shoe thrown at her. She captioned it, “Me vs Cat owners.”

She later responded to a critic who claimed that she doesn’t need to justify her opinion on cats with misconceptions, and that she’s allowed to simply say they’re not for her. “I did! And they aren’t misconceptions these are most definitely true and happen errday you CANNOT trick me,” she explained. “If i tell a cat owner to lift they arm sleeve rn they’ll be tore up.”

Doechii later urged social media users to relax, reminding them that her opinion on cats really has nothing to do with them. “Ima keep it real you gettin TOO worked up over this,” she said. “Long as you and your cat are good that should be all that matters at the end of the day! The world will be fine if Doechii thinks cats are mean.”

This isn’t the first time Doechii has sparked controversy online, either. Last March, the “Anxiety” performer also went viral for joking that men as a whole are a dating red flag during an episode of Hot Ones Versus. After the 2025 Met Gala, social media users even accused her of mistreating her assistants due to chaotic footage of her leaving a hotel.

DJ Akademiks discussed Cardi B’s split from Stefon Diggs during a recent livestream, arguing that if the New England Patriots star did allegedly cheat on her, it would be understandable. Despite praising Cardi, Akademiks argued that he’s seen Diggs around too many beautiful women.

“You see two or three of that n****s b*tches and be like, I can understand why he’s f*cking these girls on the side. Yo Cardi, those b*tches is bad. I’m still putting you up there because you my homie, but his side chicks are bad,” he said. “… Cardi, I give you the number one spot, but it’s not like he’s f*cking a bunch of ugly ducklings.”

From there, he brought up Jay-Z, Tyga, and more celebrities who have allegedly cheated over the years, arguing they hooked up with less attractive women. Akademiks also brought up Cardi’s ex-husband, Offset, citing allegations that he was unfaithful in their relationship as well.

When Did Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Break Up?

Stefon Diggs and Cardi B went public with their relationship back in 2025, and they welcomed their first child together, later that year. Things took a turn for the worse days before the Super Bowl. At the game, Cardi made an appearance during Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show, but didn’t stay to support Diggs for the end of the game. When it ended, the two unfollowed one another on Instagram.

She seemingly referenced the drama during a recent concert, remarking on stage. “You can’t be out here playing with a b**** like me. There’s n***** out here praying for a b**** like me. I’m too sexy to be lonely and too grown to be played with n****. Who you playin’ with mothaf****?! … None of them b*****s f*****g with me,” she said.

Taking to X after a clip of the moment went viral, Cardi issued a clarification. She wrote: “Dear blogs, when I perform a song I always introduce the song with a lil razzle dazzle. Not everything is a shot or personal. I’m actually repeating lyrics from the songs…Relax.”

Earlier this week, a handyman named Jeromy Holding took the stand amid Kanye West’s ongoing legal battle against Tony Saxon. During his testimony, Holding recalled Kim Kardashian pulling up to the Grammy winner’s Malibu mansion in a Lamborghini while he was working there, per Rolling Stone. According to him, when he saw the SKIMS founder, he mistook her for Bianca Censori. When he waved and said, “Hi,” she allegedly responded with, “I don’t know you.”

From there, he says he explained the mix-up to her, making the situation all the more awkward. When Kardashian left, Holding alleges that he was confronted by Ye, who was not at all happy about the incident. “She’s the most famous woman in the world and you call her by another woman’s name?” he allegedly asked.

Holding says that despite the unfortunate encounter, he kept his job.

As for why Ye is at odds with Tony Saxon in the first place, Saxon alleges that the rapper failed to pay him what was promised for work on one of his properties. He also alleges that he was subjected to unsafe working conditions. Ye’s legal team, on the other hand, denies this.

“It was Saxon who set for himself an impossible standard. He wanted to work 24/7, he wanted to camp at the house. He wanted to be the guy in charge,” his lawyer Andrew Cherkasky explained in court last week. “Ye will tell you he was shocked hearing there was no bathroom there. … Nobody asked [Saxon] to stay there, certainly not overnight.”

“[Saxon] claimed he broke his neck working for Ye. He did not,” Cherkasky added. “He’s a guy who had almost nothing who came across an opportunity to work for a billionaire.”
