It was quite the surprise for the audience, who gave The Boy a roaring applause upon his entrance. The rapper popped up from under the stage before bowing to Karol G and embracing her. After the two performed their record, Drake continued the party with renditions of “Janice STFU” and “One Dance.”

Drake & Karol G Perform Together

Drake’s appreciation for Karol G has been well documented over the months, and their collaboration on No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto was initially expected to arrive on ICEMAN. In late July, the rapper was spotted at her Toronto concert looking ecstatic, a week before “Ahi” dropped on DSPs. However, that song was likely one that was rumored to be on ICEMAN. Days before the album’s arrival, a rumor surfaced claiming that Karol G was on the list of collaborators alongside Molly Santana and Future, who both appeared on “Run To Atlanta.” 

Outside of his recent appearance with Karol G, the rapper is still riding high off of the release of FOMO, the visual project he debuted on YouTube nearly two weeks ago. The project boasted visuals for a number of records from Habibti and Maid Of Honour, while also debuting a handful of unreleased music, one of which including his recent collaboration with Yeat and unheard music with Don Toliver. Drake and Don Toliver also debuted a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” which has been at the center of beef speculation lately since the re-uploaded visuals to the remix have removed all footage of Langley.

The first of these songs, “Philly Heathens,” has been praised for Meek’s lyrics about street culture and the youth who lose themselves to violence. “Am I Wrong,” however, is a drill interpolation of Nico & Vinz’s smash hit of the same name. It’s a song that is 12 years old, and if you grew up on that brand of EDM, you probably look at the song as sacred ground.

Unfortunately, Meek’s interpretation of the song is lacking. The beat sounds dated, which isn’t the biggest sin given the fact that this is a leak and probably old. However, it’s Meek’s singing on the hook that has led to all the criticism.

Meek Mill Tries Something New

Fans were not particularly kind to Meek’s new track, especially on Reddit’s r/hiphopheads, where the commenters can be especially critical at times.

“I’ve been rocking with Meek since Flammerz and the Off The Muscle DVD’s. Its hard for me to root against him, but he makes some very odd choices sometimes,” one fan wrote. “The chorus had me SCRAMBLING to turn it down,” said another.

There were some who actually found this to be a nice blog era throwback. One fan even pointed out that the hook is the only bad thing about the song. “I didn’t get the comments disliking until the chorus happened. But Meek was doing his thing otherwise.”

Given the fact that these are leaked throwaways, we doubt that “Am I Wrong” will get an official streaming release. Although if it does, it won’t be Meek’s most popular song.

Quotable Lyrics from Die For This

I didn’t die for this, I didn’t cry for this
Livin’ life for this, all my life for this
Got a Draco in the book bag, prime diamonds, tote that
Pipe down, can’t loop that, I got the AR, blue mag

Over the weekend, Ray J offered an update on his health, and once again, it was grim. As you will hear below, the artist is dealing with heart and liver issues. Despite this, Ray J is refusing to get checked out.

“My liver is fked up. My heart is still fked up,” Ray J said. “I wake up and I know it. I still don’t give a f*. I still haven’t went and got it checked.”

The artist and reality TV show star then went on to say that he is going to die because of these problems. He said one day the ambulance is going to show up, and there is no telling whether or not they will be able to revive him.

“Eventually, like, n****s is gonna die. What else is gonna happen? The ambulance is gonna come, and hopefully we make it through,” Ray J concluded.

It is an incredibly grim outlook, all things considered. However, his sister Brandy is showing support. On Instagram, she maintained that her desire is to help and take care of her brother, no matter what.

“You’re fine Bro!!! I am gonna continue to help take care of you,” Brandy said.

Hopefully, Ray J is able to get the help that he needs during this difficult time.

The shooting reportedly occurred on the South Side of Chicago, at a Citgo gas station on 76th and Cottage. According to AllHipHop, the 26-year-old was approached by two men who opened fire. Poohman eventually got behind the wheel of his Dodge Challenge, but eventually crashed after being pursued by the alleged gunmen. When police arrived at the crash scene, the man was dead.

Reports suggest Poohman had been attending BloodHound Q50’s funeral just hours before in Merrillville, Indiana. A funeral that had a large police presence given the circumstances surrounding Q50’s murder.

Poohman Killed After BloodHound Q50’s Funeral

If you remember, BloodHound Q50 died similarly back on September 13. Two gunmen approached his Tesla at a gas station and shot 80 rounds into the vehicle. Q50’s pregnant girlfriend was in the car at the time, although she was able to escape.

In the aftermath of the shooting, Q50’s girlfriend alleged that a Tesla safety feature ultimately made it impossible for the artist to escape. If you don’t have your seatbelt on, the Tesla won’t go in drive. She believes this is what led to the unfortunate incident.

The Chicago Police Department continues to investigate the death of BloodHound Q50, and now, they are investigating the death of Poohman.

This remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates.

Quotable Lyrics from Philly Heathens

I was told to make a play on my brother if I got some
And never will my brother especially if y’all both don’t got nothing
Learned that from my mother but in them streets is when I got some
So many people dying around me I feel like I see God coming

At this time, the artist has not been granted bond for these infractions. Instead, Jacquees remains behind bars and is reportedly expected to have a bond hearing at some point today. However, Jacquees’ legal representation has yet to speak out in the aftermath of these charges.

The circumstances of the arrest also remain unknown at this time. All we know right now is that Jacquees was arrested, charged, and placed behind bars until further notice.

Jacquees Arrested On Sunday Night

Jacquees has been arrested in the past. Back in 2018, the artist was subjected to two arrests, one in Miami and one in Atlanta. The Miami arrest took place amidst a traffic stop, while the Atlanta arrest came after he was caught driving 116 MPH.

Moreover, in 2023, Jacquees was accused of choking a woman and biting her hand. This allegedly took place during an altercation near the Mall of Georgia. The artist was later charged with simple battery and obstruction before eventually securing bond.

As for this current arrest, there are still a few unknowns right now. Stay tuned to HotNewHipHop as we will be sure to bring you the latest news and updates on this developing story.

The photo shows sculpted white versions of all three silhouettes, arranged neatly on a wood floor. Each shoe appears molded in a matching chalky finish, making it feel more like an art piece than a standard product teaser. The Air Force 1 is shown in its high-top strap form, while the GT Future stands out with its draped, shell-like shape.

Nothing official has been announced yet, so release dates, pricing, and colorways remain unknown. Nike hasn’t confirmed anything either, leaving the image as the only real clue so far. Stay tuned for more updates if this new collaboration materializes.

Still, seeing 3 distinct silhouettes grouped together suggests this could be a full collection rather than a single shoe. That would fit how Yeat’s previous Nike projects have rolled out, pairing footwear with matching apparel.

New Yeat x Nike Collection

Yeat’s partnership with Nike has picked up serious momentum throughout 2026. The rapper’s earlier collaboration included a pair of Air Force 1s in all black and all white, tied to his album artwork along the side and tongue.

That same rollout brought the Nike Air Liquid Max, timed with this year’s Air Max Day celebrations. A lineup of hoodies carrying “Lyfestyle x Nike” co-branding also joined the collection, showing how much of a full lifestyle push the project became.

Given how well that first run landed, a follow-up feels like a natural next step. Yeat has quickly become one of the more visible artists working with Nike right now, and his signature futuristic aesthetic pairs well with silhouettes like the GT Future and Air Max 95.

For now, fans will have to wait on official confirmation. If this does turn into a full release, expect plenty of attention once details finally surface.

Tomlin later held the pair up on camera, joking “new kicks, who dis?” as he checked them out. The gesture added a lighthearted moment to the broadcast, with both coaches clearly enjoying the exchange in front of a live audience.

Payton has built a reputation around the league for his sneaker game, regularly showing up to games in standout Jordan pairs. Moments like this one only add to that reputation, this time extending the gesture to a fellow head coach instead of his own players.

Given how well-known Payton’s Jordan Brand ties are, gifting a pair to Tomlin on live television felt like a natural, on-brand move. It’s the kind of small moment that ends up getting more attention than either coach probably expected.

Sean Payton Gifts Mike Tomlin Air Jordan 1s

Payton became the first NFL coach to sign directly with Jordan Brand back in 2020. The deal came together after a chance meeting with Michael Jordan at his private golf course during Super Bowl weekend that same year.

According to Payton, Jordan noticed his footwear immediately, telling him he’d be making him his first “Jordan Coach.” A formal partnership followed shortly after, separate from the university-based deals other coaches like Jim Harbaugh and Patrick Ewing have through their programs.

Payton has leaned into that relationship consistently since then, frequently wearing Jordan Brand sneakers on the sideline during games. Passing that same energy along to Tomlin fits right into how visible he’s made his connection to the brand over the years.

Moments like this Sunday Night Football surprise show how far that relationship with Jordan Brand has carried into Payton’s everyday coaching persona. Other coaches will certainly enjoy going up against the Broncos if the gifts continue!
