Raq Baby has been having an impressive come-up, and there is no doubt that fans have appreciated his style. The artist is from Atlanta but now lives in Chicago, and the influence from both cities is apparent. That is especially true on his latest video single, “JD,” which is coming off his upcoming July 15 album, Still Spillin. This is yet another track where Raq Baby is able to use his ear for melody to his advantage. There are braggadocios and confident lyrics to be found here. Meanwhile, the artist navigates moody production that creates a reflective atmosphere.

Release Date: June 24, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Still Spillin

Quotable Lyrics from JD

Lil B And Supreme Teamed Up For Something Different https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999733-supreme-x-lil-b-streetwear-news Thu, 25 Jun 2026 10:29:41 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999733 Supreme is honoring Lil B with a new graphic tee featuring his signature "Why Hate?" message as part of its Summer 2026 collection.

The post Lil B And Supreme Teamed Up For Something Different appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Lil B has teamed up with Supreme for a new summer collaboration. The drop includes a new track called “SMASH,” shared through Supreme’s YouTube account. Supreme announced its Summer 2026 graphic tee line, with a global release set for June 25th.

The standout piece is a pink shirt with “WHY HATE?” printed across the front in yellow. On the back, “LIL B FOR SUPREME” appears in shimmering silver lettering. That phrase has followed Lil B for years, tied closely to his “Based God” identity.

The shirt is part of an eight piece collection released for the season. Skate artist Sean Cliver contributed a piece featuring his cartoon dog artwork in studded leather gear. Another shirt reimagines Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” with Supreme branding.

A separate design nods to the 1990 documentary “Paris Is Burning,” which covered New York ballroom culture. Artist Myles Underwood also contributed designs, alongside pieces featuring skunks and gothic lettering.

Supreme has a long history of building shirts around cultural touchpoints like this. Music, film, and underground figures all show up regularly across past collections. Lil B’s featurre follows that same pattern closely.

For longtime fans, seeing the phrase land on a Supreme shirt feels fitting. It takes a message tied to one specific era and puts it in front of a much wider audience.

Supreme x Lil B

Lil B built his following through a style that didn’t always click with everyone right away. His music leaned experimental, and his persona was easy to misunderstand at first.

Still, the “Based God” mindset around positivity and acceptance found real staying power over time. “Why Hate?” became one of the clearest summaries of that message. Putting it on a Supreme shirt gives it a new audience outside his original fanbase.

Supreme has built a similar reputation around turning niche references into wearable pieces. Wearing one of their shirts has often meant signaling familiarity with something specific, not just a logo. That’s part of why pairing the two makes sense here.

Releasing a new song alongside the shirt adds another layer to the collaboration. It turns a simple clothing drop into something a little more complete.

Boosie Badazz Denies Probation Violation Allegations https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999728-boosie-badazz-probation-officer Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:18:04 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999728 News circulated that Boosie Badazz's probation officer wanted him arrested, but the rapper denies doing anything wrong.

Back in January 2026, Boosie Badazz was sentenced to three years’ probation in connection with his federal gun case. All things considered, it was a victory for the rapper, but journalist Meghann Cuniff now reports that things have taken a turn. “His probation officer wants him arrested and imprisoned after he was booked in Houston last month for aggravated assault,” she wrote on X. Cuniff also included several court documents, including one that stated: “Mr. Hatch (Boosie Bad Azz) was scheduled as a headliner at Dome Nightclub May 23 and 24, 2026, from 10pm-2am. Mr. Hatch did not request approval from his assigned probation officer nor the court for out of district travel.”

Further, court documents state, “Mr. Hatch appears before the Court on serious allegation involving a violent offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. As such, his overall adjustment to supervision is considered poor.” It seems that Boosie faces 18-24 months in prison if this progresses, with the judge denying a request to issue a bench warrant just yet. After the news circulated, Boosie took to social media to lament over the case.

Boosie Shares His Side Of The Story

Over on X, Boosie fired off a lengthy statement, saying he had permission to travel.

“Just talked to my PO n he found the email for me to travel to Houston. He said it was at the bottom of the paper under the flights n he overlooked it,” the rapper wrote, adding that his probation officer claimed it would not count as a violation. “I’ve had over 50 shows since being on paper and I’ve went through the right process to notify my PO on every show.”

Boosie added that his drug tests have been “crystal clean” because he’s not “stupid” enough to mess up his life. “My probation officer has been fair to me throughout this process. It’s people over him who have problems with me.” According to the rapper, he was asked to sign documents giving them permission to record their conversations, and he said, “hell no.” He also claimed he completed “several hours of community service” and is “doing great on federal probation.”

Then Boosie provided proof that he had been given permission to travel to Houston. Take a look at it all below.

The controversy involving famed radio DJ Big Tigger and his wife, Alicia Brown, has taken another turn. Last weekend, Tigger, real name Darian Morgan, was arrested on charges of battery and cruelty to children. According to WSB-TV, the couple was allegedly involved in a verbal altercation that stemmed from Tigger receiving text messages from a woman who was also one of his co-workers.

Brown told police that her husband began recording her with his phone before she attempted to grab it from him. When she did, she claimed that Tigger tackled her to the ground to get it back from her, allegedly bruising her lip. The argument reportedly made its way to the basement, where things became physical.

Tigger Denies The Allegations Again

Once in the basement, documents alleged that Morgan “used force to move the victim and shoved the victim, causing the victim to stumble headfirst into an office door.” This is reportedly what caused the cut on Brown’s face, which she showed off in an enigmatic video where she suggested that people should ask her husband how she got her injuries.

Additionally, Brown told police that she was initially uncooperative because she feared what Tigger would do. She received medical help at a hospital, and it’s said that the incident was captured on the couple’s Ring security camera at home. After being released from jail, Tigger has returned and shared a statement on social media.

“I unequivocally deny every allegation that has been made against me,” he said. “For the past 30+ years, I have built my life around relationships and community. Those who know me know the man, father, husband, and friend I have been throughout my life. Because this is an active legal matter, I am limited in what I can say. What I can say is that I have complete confidence in the facts and in the legal process. I will continue to cooperate fully and trust that the truth will come to light.”

“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with support and encouragement,” he added. “My family and I are deeply grateful.” Check it out below.

August Alsina Calls Young Thug’s Comments On Gay Men “Dumb” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999722-august-alsina-young-thug-gay-men Wed, 24 Jun 2026 22:28:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999722 Thugger had a controversial hot take on gay men who are closeted, and August Alsina addressed the remarks, calling them "stupid."

The post August Alsina Calls Young Thug’s Comments On Gay Men “Dumb” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
It’s unclear what caused August Alsina to revisit Young Thug’s interview with the Perspektives with Bank podcast last year, but he’s decided to address the remarks this week. In September 2025, Young Thug visited the podcast and made a few comments that rubbed people the wrong way. At the time, Thugger suggested that a man who presents himself as straight before revealing that he’s gay is somehow deceiving people.

“I feel like once you break a rule from your manhood, once you rat or once you turn gay,” he said on the podcast while also emphasizing that he doesn’t have an issue with gay people. “If I look at you, if I meet you and you gay, it’s like, ‘Okay.’ If I meet you and you portraying that you a man and you’re not gay — I don’t got nothing against gay people. You know what I’m saying? If you’re portraying a certain thing… If I look at you like a man and we f*cking b*tches together, girls together, and we doing certain sh*t together, I’m looking at you in a man light. Then I find out you gay, it ain’t really nothing you can say to me. I’mma just look at you like you broke a man code.”

Alsina Wonders Why Thug Is Worried About Gay People

In a clip that circulated online, August Alsina is seen speaking on the Thug’s controversial take. He said with all that is going on in the world, people are still concerned with what people do in their bedrooms. “Gay be the conversation,” said Alsina. “Nothing keep the Black community in a chokehold like the gay conversation.

“So, that comment, I took personal,” Alsina added. “It’s time to start calling out stupid. The older I get, I’m not into convincing that they stupid no more. Your life will show you that… At the same time, I am into simply saying, ‘That’s stupid. That’s a dumb ass take. That’s dumb.'”

Daphne Joy Wants A Man Who Worships Her: “Maybe On A Leash” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999718-daphne-joy-man-worship-pillow-talk Wed, 24 Jun 2026 20:08:40 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999718 Daphne Joy has been going on a media tour as of late, with her latest stop being the "Pillow Talk" podcast.

The post Daphne Joy Wants A Man Who Worships Her: “Maybe On A Leash” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Daphne Joy has been making the rounds as of late after her sex tape with Diddy was leaked to the public. Originally, Joy put out a statement saying the tape was filmed without consent. However, she subsequently deleted that statement before going on a media tour of sorts.

She has done interviews with the likes of DJ Akademiks, and more recently, she was on the podcast, Pillow Talk. This is a show known for interviewing adult entertainers and anyone adjacent to the industry.

During this recent appearance on Pillow Talk, Daphne Joy spoke about the kinds of men she is attracted to. When the host suggested that women don’t like “simps,” Joy revealed that she is the opposite. She notes that she loves men who worship her. In fact, she doesn’t mind men who are submissive in the bedroom.

Daphne Joy Says She Loves Simps

“I love obsessive, worshipping energy,” Joy said. “It turns me on, for sure. Like kneel and like kiss my toes. Maybe be on a leash. It’s fine.”

Some are going to find these recent media appearances to be quite cynical. Given everything that has happened over the past few weeks, it’s hard not to feel that way. Although Joy is certainly free to operate however she wants.

Given the leaked tape, there are various media outlets that want to speak with her, so it only makes sense that she would explore those opportunities. At this time, it is still unknown who leaked the tape. Some believe it was the other individual in the tape, or perhaps a hacker. More cynical onlookers believe Joy did it, although there is no evidence for this.

Either way, it does seem as though Joy will continue to be on these shows as long as hosts keep inviting her.

Sauce Walka Pops Off On Ray J And Adrien Broner During Tense Live Stream https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999715-sauce-walka-ray-j-adrien-broner-stream Wed, 24 Jun 2026 19:17:10 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999715 Ray J and Adrien Broner have been streaming together as of late, although it hasn't always worked out for all parties involved.

If you have been paying attention to the streaming world as of late, then you are well aware that Adrien Broner has become a sensation, for all the wrong reasons. Most of the time, he streams with DeenTheGreat. Although lately he has been streaming with Ray J.

These streams are typically held inside a home somewhere, with friends and other girls being invited for some hijinks. Oftentimes, Broner can be seen making the women feel uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Ray J tries to keep Broner from doing something truly stupid and regrettable.

On Tuesday evening, Ray J and Broner were hosting Sauce Walka, who has indulged in some of antics of his own as of late. For instance, he recently found himself in the midst of a controversy with Drake.

That said, Sauce Walka was not impressed with some sneak dissing that was going on. Ray J and Broner were making some shady comments, and this caused Sauce Walka to unleash.

Sauce Walka Is Tired

In the clip above, you can see Sauce Walka begin to question Broner and Ray J. He also interacts with the chat, looking for answers about what has been said about him. It was a tense moment, and yet another clip that Broner has gone somewhat viral for.

As previously mentioned, Broner will need to be careful with his streaming antics. In fact, he needs to be careful in general. His behavior has oftentimes been erratic. Furthermore, the way he continuously persists when rejected by women is concerning, to say the least.

There aren’t too many people around him to tell him to stop. The need for content has become the priority, and that typically never ends well.

Sophie Brussaux’s Wedding Footage Surfaces Online And Drake Is Nowhere To Be Found https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999712-sophie-brussaux-wedding-no-drake Wed, 24 Jun 2026 18:16:09 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999712 Sophie Brussaux officially married Efe Caliskan over the weekend, while Drake was away in Houston for Father's Day.

The post Sophie Brussaux’s Wedding Footage Surfaces Online And Drake Is Nowhere To Be Found appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Drake and Sophie Brussaux famously had a child together eight years ago, Adonis Graham. Brussaux and Adonis were one of the subjects of Pusha T’s Drake diss, “Story of Adidon.” Since that time, Drake and Brussaux have co-parented their child in the public eye and have remained cordial throughout.

That said, Brussaux has since moved on romantically. Just a few weeks ago, we reported that she would be marrying Efe Caliskan. The man is 26 years old, 10 years younger than Brussaux. He is a Turkish-Canadian Muay Thai fighter, and the two were set to be married in Canada.

Well, the wedding went down on Sunday on Father’s Day, and the footage has since made its way to social media. DJ Vlad even posted some of it on his X account. As you will see, it was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding. The bride and groom looked happy, and that is really all that matters.

Sophie Brussaux Marries Efe Caliskan

Meanwhile, many remarked that Drake was not in attendance. Of course, he didn’t really need to be. After all, he and Brussaux are no longer together, and he has other things to attend to.

In fact, on Sunday, he was in Houston, celebrating Father’s Day with Dennis Graham. The following day, he was spotted in the club partying with Chubbs and even Bun B. Ultimately, he seems to have been having a good weekend, regardless.

This puts an end to one of the chapters between Drake and Brussaux. However, they will still be co-parenting Adonis, who continues to be a major part of Drake’s rollouts.

We wish Brussaux all the best with her marriage.

The post XXL Officially Unveils Their 2026 Freshman List appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Every single year, XXL comes out with its Freshman List. Since the inception of the list, the inclusions and exclusions have always been heavily debated. Those who aren’t tapped into the underground are oftentimes left confused by the list. Furthermore, the reduction in cyphers and overall lack of lyrical rappers has led to some increased scrutiny.

That will certainly be the case again this year, as XXL has just unveiled the 2026 version of its Freshman List. If you are in the know, then the vast majority of the names here should be familiar. On the underground hyperpop side, you have artists like Slayr. Meanwhile, viral sensations like Skrilla are here as well.

Fans will also recognize names like Trim, YKNIECE, Belly Gang Kushington, Hurricane Wisdom, Chris Patrick, and Babyfxce E. A couple of artists with Kendrick Lamar and TDE co-signs, like La Reezy and Trap Dickey, were able to make the list as well. Sosocamo deservingly made the list, as did Miles Minnick, voted in 10th spot.

XXL Freshman List Announced

This year’s list:

  • YKNIECE

  • Belly Gang Kushington
  • Trim
  • Miles Minnick
  • Skrilla
  • Hurricane Wisdom
  • La Reezy
  • Trap Dickey
  • Chris Patrick
  • Babyfxce E

Over the coming days and weeks, XXL will likely release any of the freestyles and cyphers that they decide to do. Given the music some of these artists make, we imagine some of them will be skipping the freestyle process.

Regardless, there is no denying that this list is indicative of the current hip-hop landscape. There are various movements recognized here, and even if you don’t know these artists, that’s what the list is there for. To introduce fans to new music and artists who deserve your ear.

Keefe D Hits Yet Another Roadblock Ahead Of Tupac Murder Trial https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/999704-keefe-d-tupac-murder-trial-roadblocl Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:57:02 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=999704 Keefe D is set to face trial in the murder of Tupac on August 10, but his defense team is starting to get frustrated.

The post Keefe D Hits Yet Another Roadblock Ahead Of Tupac Murder Trial appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Keefe D has been having a rough go of things ever since 2023, when he was arrested and placed in jail for allegedly orchestrating the murder of Tupac. Now, the man wants to make sure some of his testimonies are kept out of evidence.

For instance, Keefe D claims he had an agreement with the LAPD that any statements made during police interviews would be exempt from the record. He also believes this extends to his book, Compton Street Legend. His defense is working hard to make sure these exhibits are kept out of trial evidence.

However, the prosecution is fighting hard to make sure that the book and police interviews can, in fact, be used. According to Fox 5, the prosecution argues that Keefe D’s book actually voided the previous LAPD agreement. If the book and interviews are used during the trial, his chances of winning become slim, and the defense knows it.

Meanwhile, Keefe D’s defense is claiming that the prosecution is actively trying to sabotage them. During Tuesday’s hearing, they accused the prosecution of filing 4000 pages worth of documents about the death of Biggie Smalls. The prosecution believes both cases are connected, but the defense says it doesn’t have time to respond to the documents.

Keefe D will be back in court on June 30, where he could find out whether or not these exhibits will be exempt from the record. If you may recall, his book was the catalyst for the initial investigation and subsequent arrest.

Stay tuned for more updates.
