NBA player Jaden Ivey is currently out of a job following disparaging comments he made about the LGBTQ+ community. He has made these comments on his social media platforms and has been touting his religious bona fides in the process. In fact, he has been replying to fans on his Instagram account, demanding that they go down a path of religion.

It has been truly bizarre to see, and fans are worried about the man’s well-being. Some have accused him of being under religious psychosis. Others are simply worried that he is going to harm himself. It has been incredibly difficult to watch, and the NBA is taking notice.

In fact, this past week, the Chicago Bulls released Ivey from the team. They felt as though his conduct was detrimental to the franchise. Although he is currently rehabbing from an injury, they still felt as though he was hurting the locker room.

Now, Boosie Badazz is sounding off on the situation, noting that the situation simply is not fair. He believes that the NBA star’s free speech has been violated.

Boosie Badazz Speaks On Jaden Ivey

Boosie has been outspoken against the LGBTQ+ community in the past, so it should not be a surprise that he would take an interest in Ivey’s situation. In the post above, the artist claims that disagreement doesn’t equal hate. He also says that free speech is being taken away from free thinkers and those who dare to speak their own truth.

While there are certainly people who agree with Boosie, it is important to remember that Ivey represents a sports franchise. You can’t say things that are going to jeopardize sponsorships and the reputations of those you work with. It’s just not a smart idea.

Not to mention, Ivey just isn’t a good enough player to get away with something like this. He has become a distraction that is more trouble than it is worth. As a result, the Bulls took action. Pretty easy to understand.

Future could end up facing jail time after his ex-girlfriend, Brittni Mealy, complained that he failed to comply with a 2023 court order that mandated that he obtain a $500K life insurance policy naming her as the trustee for their son, Prince. According to court docs obtained by Complex, she wants Future held in contempt until he secures the life insurance policy.

“More than eighteen (18) months have passed since the compliance deadline,” Mealy’s petition reads. “Despite several written requests over the course of several months, [Future] has failed and refused to comply.”

Future & Brittni Mealy’s Relationship

Brittni Mealy previously made headlines in 2021 by accusing Future of calling her a “h*e” in text messages with their son. They had allegedly been messaging about buying school clothes. Taking to her Instagram Story at the time, she wrote: “DEFINITELY NOT CAP! TF I GOT TO LIE FOR YOU SAID IT definitely your # and his SO STAND ON IT AND PIPE DOWN IF U DONT WANT THESE RECORDINGS POSTED! On GAWD YOU SAID IT THEY NEED TO CANCEL YOU. Cruelty to children! Haven’t seen him in 3 months but in the same State I can Keep Going! Got a refund on His school Clothes today! Petty cause someone Don’t wanna be sexually active with you and just want to co parent!!”

Around the same time, Mealy filed a lawsuit against Future, arguing that she was entitled to more child support due to his increased income. In 2023, a judge ruled in her favor, revealing that the rapper was earning $30,000 monthly. He had been paying $3k per month for Prince, which he argued was enough to cover the child’s expenses. Mealy also complained that he hadn’t been seeing Prince enough, to which Future cited his erratic schedule.

In addition to Prince, Future has six other children. They include four other sons, Jakobi, Future Zahir, Hendrix, and Kash, as well as two daughters, Londyn and Paris.

Joe Budden Would Gleefully “Smack The Dog Sh*t” Out Of Charleston White https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/986755-joe-budden-slap-charleston-white-young-thug Wed, 01 Apr 2026 13:43:24 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=986755 Charleston White has been threatening to send Young Thug back to jail, and Joe Budden feels very strongly about it.

Joe Budden is someone who does not mince words. Whenever he feels strongly about a topic, he is going to let you know about it, regardless of how controversial the topic might be.

With that being said, The Joe Budden Podcast had a hell of a time this past week while discussing the recent controversy surrounding Charleston White and Young Thug. After getting into it at Druski’s Coulda Been Love reunion show, White has been threatening to snitch on Thug. Of course, the artist has a decade’s worth of probation ahead of him. One false move could land him back in prison.

White is threatening to put Thug back in jail, and as one can imagine, this is not sitting well with the hip-hop community at large. The vast majority of fans and commentators are happy that Young Thug is home and enjoying his freedom. They would hate to see that jeopardized because of a clout-chasing internet personality.

During the most recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Budden did not hold back when asked about White and his indiscretions. In fact, Budden said that he would slap the “dog sh*t” out of White.

Joe Budden on The Charleston White-Young Thug Situation

This led to a broader conversation amongst the hosts about who White is as a person, and whether or not he is someone who should be taken seriously. For the most part, Joe wasn’t interested in entertaining any kind of serious discourse about White. If it were up to him, he would be run out of town.

Budden isn’t the only person who feels this way about Charleston White. Overall, the internet personality has done quite a number on his reputation. There are very few people who have any sort of tolerance for his schtick. Not to mention, when you put a man’s freedom at risk, there are going to be people who hate you.

Whether or not White and Thug are able to patch things up is something that remains to be seen.

Kanye West’s “Bully” Gets Completely Ripped Apart By Pitchfork, And Fans Can’t Stop Coping https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/986740-kanye-west-pitchfork-bully-fan-reactions Wed, 01 Apr 2026 13:13:59 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=986740 Kanye West's "Bully" has proven to be a polarizing album, and the latest "Pitchfork" review has some Ye fans completely up in arms.

The post Kanye West’s “Bully” Gets Completely Ripped Apart By Pitchfork, And Fans Can’t Stop Coping appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Kanye West has just released his new album, Bully, which was supposed to be his big apology album. The project that was somehow supposed to make us forget that Ye has been a Nazi for the last three years.

While the artist has apologized, some wonder if it’s enough. Only the hardcore fans seem to still be interested in the man’s music. Those who checked out back in 2018 during his MAGA hat crusade still haven’t returned. Ultimately, the reputational harm has been significant. Yet still, the man can sell upwards of 200K units in his first week.

Critically, these new Ye albums have not been particularly well-received. For instance, on Wednesday, Pitchfork officially published its Bully review. Writer Kieran Press-Reynolds gave the album a 3.4 out of 10, which is about as bad a score you can give an album these days.

Pitchfork Gives Its Take On Bully

Kanye West fans have proven to be exceptionally insecure these days. They think every single critique of his music is some sort of indictment of the rapper’s politics. However, sometimes, the music just isn’t very good, regardless of who the artist is voting for. Bully is the perfect example of this.

Kanye West Fans Show Their Insecurity

The reactions to the album review were quite extreme. While other Pitchfork users largely agree with the score, Ye stans on X were very quick to voice their complete and utter displeasure. They began to attack the reviewer for the crime of stating their unfiltered opinion. They also tried to claim that Pitchfork is irrelevant, despite constantly complaining about every single one of their reviews.

At this point, it can be argued that Ye fans are just in a cult. Whatever he does is the greatest thing ever. No criticism, no critical thought, nothing. Just constant praise and adulation. It is this kind of Yes Man mentality that ultimately got Ye into the position he’s in right now.

Megan Thee Stallion is currently starring as Zidler in Moulin Rouge on Broadway. Fans have been flocking to the theater to see the rapper perform, although Tuesday night’s performance has many fans concerned about Megan’s health.

On X, The Breakfast Club’s Loren Lorosa revealed that she was attending last night’s show when it was paused out of nowhere. Fans were told to stay seated, and Megan Thee Stallion was eventually replaced. This led to lots of confusion in the crowd, with social media speculating that Meg had been sent to the hospital.

“Came to see Meg The stallion on broadway and that was short lived. The few opening scenes I saw her in she was great on stage! I was excited BUT… They just stopped moulin rouge mid show apologized to the audience and said ..”stay inside and seated” I asked security if we’re safe .. they told us “for now, we’ll update you if anything changes,” Lorosa wrote.

“Milan rouge on Broadway has removed Meg the stallion for the night (no explanation as to why) … Announcement just came on in the theatre .. they have removed Meg Thee Stallion from the show as Zidler for the rest of the night. Her part was replaced by a black male actor I’ll get his info bc he’s amazing. We are safe .. show is continuing on without Megan thee stallion.”

Subsequently, Lorosa put out an update, noting that Meg’s spokesperson had delivered a statement about the artist being hospitalized.

Trippie Redd has been teasing the album NDA for over a year now, and we still do not have the album in sight. With that being said, there is no doubt that the singles have been solid as ever. On Wednesday, he teamed up with the likes of Young Thug for the new song “Paperbag Boy.” This track comes with some rage rap production. However, the flows and deliveries are much more subdued. Trippie gives us some melodies here, while also offering up a catchy hook that is hard to deny. As for Young Thug, he puts in a solid guest appearance that will get fans intrigued.

Release Date: April 1, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: NDA

Quotable Lyrics from Paperbag Boy

He talk down on me, then, he met his end

A pair of sneakers with a remarkable story just surfaced in Miami. Dennis Rodman’s personal Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “UNC” has turned up at Lost ‘N Found Vintage in Florida. These are not just any pair of the iconic collab. Virgil Abloh gifted them directly to Rodman in 2020.

The shoes show real wear. These were not kept in a box or treated as a display piece. Rodman actually put them on his feet, which makes them exponentially more interesting as a collector’s item. The creasing, the aged midsole, the worn laces. All of it tells a story that a deadstock pair simply cannot.

The provenance here is what makes this pair genuinely special. Virgil Abloh personally gifted these to one of the most iconic and also unconventional figures in NBA history.

That connection between two cultural disruptors, fashion and sports, gives this pair a layer of meaning that goes well beyond the shoe itself. Virgil passed away in November 2021, making anything he touched directly even more significant.

Lost ‘N Found Vintage specializes in exactly this kind of find. The Miami shop has built a reputation for surfacing rare and storied pieces. This might also be their biggest score yet. A pair this deep in history does not show up every day.

Off White x Air Jordan 1 “UNC”

The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “UNC” is one of the most iconic sneakers Virgil Abloh ever created. Also the shoe runs in a bold university blue and white colorway with Virgil’s signature design language throughout.

The orange zip tie hangs from the lace collar. “AIR” is stamped in quotes along the midsole. “Virgil Was Here” is written across the lateral side in Virgil’s handwriting. Further the Off-White branding and product description text covers the toe box.

Originally released in 2017 as part of “The Ten” collection, it remains one of the most sought-after collaborations in sneaker history. On a deadstock pair this is iconic enough. Overall, on a worn pair gifted by Virgil himself to Dennis Rodman in 2020, it becomes something else entirely.

Cardi B Secures Major Win In Legal Battle Over “Enough (Miami)” https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/986706-cardi-b-win-enough-miami Tue, 31 Mar 2026 22:00:23 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=986706 In 2024, Cardi B was sued by Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, who accused her of copyright infringement.

Cardi B has fought no shortage of legal battles over the years. Fortunately, she’s now crossed one off her list. Back in 2024, Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar hit the femcee with a lawsuit over her single, “Enough (Miami).” The two artists, AKA Kemikal956, alleged that she stole elements of their song “Greasy Frybread.”

Their song was previously used to promote the FX series Reservation Dogs, and was released three years before Cardi’s. They pushed for Cardi’s track not to be featured on her sophomore album, Am I The Drama?

“Should Cardi B and her associates be permitted to release the album including the single ‘Enough (Miami),’ the damages to plaintiffs will not only be irreparable, but almost impossible to calculate,” their attorney, Robert Flores, argued. “Enjoining the release of one song from an album with 23 song slots is less damage than allowing it to be released.”

AllHipHop’s Grouchy Greg Watkins exclusively reports that a federal judge in Texas has dismissed the lawsuit, claiming that it was filed in the wrong place. The case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning that Fraustro and Aguilar have the option to refile in the future.

This isn’t the only legal win Cardi has under her belt, either. Back in 2022, she also won a major defamation lawsuit against Tasha K. The gossip blogger was later ordered to pay a $3.9 million judgment.

Tasha K ended up starting a GoFundMe earlier this month in hopes of paying it off once and for all.

“For years many of you have asked me to start a fundraiser to help me pay off the judgment against me. I always refused because I believed it was my responsibility to handle it on my own,” the description reads. “But after many conversations with you all, I’m finally listening.”

Nick Cannon spoke about his political beliefs with Amber Rose for the latest episode of his Big Drive podcast. In doing so, he described the Democratic Party as the “party of the KKK” and praised Republicans for ending slavery.

“People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK,” Cannon said on the show in a viral clip. “People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves.” While a commonly cited fact, the idea of the Republican Party being responsible for ending slavery fails to acknowledge the structural realignment of both parties in the mid-20th century.

“Both you and I have some conservative views. You just a little bit more outspoken about it than I am. I honestly don’t subscribe to either party,” Cannon continued. “I rock with W. E. B. Du Bois, when he said there’s no such thing as two parties. It’s just one evil party with two different names.”

Cannon went on the described Trump as “cleaning house,” adding that “he’s doing what he said he was going to do.” He explained: “We got the Gulf of America now. He’s like the club. He’s charging a $5 million bottle service fee to get into the country. I (expletive) with Trump.”

Amber Rose’s Donald Trump Support

Rose has voiced her support for Donald Trump and the conservative party numerous times in recent years. She even spoke on stage at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Speaking with Maxim for an interview, last year, Amber Rose addressed the backlash she’s received. “During the election, I was ‘canceled.’ Now? All the naysayers are quiet,” she said at the time. “They see he’s already changing our country for the better… Unfortunately, the ‘woke’ left cancels people for having a different ideology. Fortunately for me, I don’t give a f*ck and will always stand 10 toes down until the wheels fall off, regardless of what my beliefs may be.”

Rose and Cannon aren’t the only celebrities to make headlines for speaking out in support of Trump in recent months. Nicki Minaj has also been coming under fire for praising the Republican Party.

The post Lizzo Claims Every Rapper Slid In Her DMs After She Got Famous appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Lizzo says that tons of rappers slide into her DMs after she achieved mainstream success with the release of her third studio album, Cuz I Love You, in 2019. Discussing her love life during an appearance on the podcast, Friends Keep Secrets, Lizzo explained how she wasn’t used to men finding her attractive.

The topic began with Benny Blanco asking Lizzo for the “craziest” celebrity to slide into her DMs. “All of them,” she said, referencing hip-hop artists. “I was really confused. Mind you, I grew up a big girl and I grew up like, guys didn’t like me like that. Where I grew up, if you were fat, you were ugly, which, that’s not true. Fat doesn’t equal ugly, but where I grew up, that’s what it was. So, I was kind of invisible to all the guys. No one liked me in high school. One guy liked me in high school, and he was like, so ashamed that he would pass me notes. ‘Come and hook up with me at this place,” and I was like, ‘No, I’m not gonna do that. What the f*ck is wrong with you.'”

Lizzo continued: “When all this shifted, and I started getting these DMs, I was confused. I was like, ‘I don’t even know what this person’s intention is. I thought it was all friendly. People had to tell me, ‘Hey, no. This person is trying to f*ck you.’ I was like, ‘What?’ I’m so oblivious.”

As the clip has been circulating on social media, fans have been having mixed reactions. “This is exactly why you gotta be careful being nice to people cuz then they friends or delusions gon gas it despite what sense is telling them,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another questioned: “Every is a stretch. So, Jay Z?”

Lizzo’s “Don’t Make Me Love U”

Lizzo’s interview with Benny Blanco comes after putting out a new music video for her latest single, “Don’t Make Me Love U,” earlier this month. She finished recording her fifth studio album, Love in Real Life, last year, but has yet to release it.
