Kobe Bryant’s Family Rock Custom Nike Kobe 10 Protros https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005457-custom-nike-kobe-10-protros-sneaker-news Tue, 11 Aug 2026 12:41:20 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005457 Vanessa and Natalia Bryant honored Kobe Bryant's legacy in custom Nike Kobe 10 Protros at this year's Mamba Invitational.

Vanessa Bryant and her daughter Natalia both wore custom Nike Kobe 10 Protros while attending this weekend’s Mamba Invitational in Los Angeles, an event built around Kobe Bryant’s legacy. Both were on hand to help award championship medals to the tournament’s winning teams.

Vanessa’s pair leaned into full custom territory, finished in a pearlescent white with a striking floral piece attached at the toe. The design featured silver detailing and blue accents shaped into a rose and branch pattern, giving the shoe a jewelry finish rather than a typical sneaker.

Natalia’s pair took a cleaner approach. Hers stayed in a crisp white colorway with bold black “MAMBA” lettering stamped across the side, paired with a black Sheath logo on the heel. Both pairs appear to be built on the same silhouette that’s set to officially release later this month in a triple white “Halo” colorway.

The Mamba Invitational has become a tradition for the Bryant family, bringing together some of the country’s top young basketball talent while keeping Kobe Bryant’s memory front and center. Vanessa in particular has made a habit of showing up in standout custom Kobe footwear at the event each year.

Custom Nike Kobe 10 Protros

This isn’t the first time Vanessa has turned heads with custom Kobe Bryant footwear at the Mamba Invitational. Past appearances have included a pair of Kobe 3 Protros covered in thousands of Swarovski crystals, continuing a pattern of elaborate, one-of-one tributes tied to the event.

Natalia has also become more visible within the Kobe Bryant Brand rollout in recent years, regularly appearing alongside her mother at events and in promotional material tied to new releases.

Custom pairs like these never make it to retail, but they carry real weight within the Kobe fan base. Each design usually incorporates a personal detail, whether through material choice, imagery, or branding specific to the wearer.

With the Kobe 10 Protro’s official launch just weeks away, seeing both Vanessa and Natalia in early custom versions adds another layer of attention to the model before it even hits shelves.

Trippie Redd’s next album is imminent. Over the last year or so, the artist has been delivering some exciting singles, although fans have finally been waiting for NDA to drop. The release is now slated for this Friday, and on Tuesday, the artist dropped the Sexyy Red-assisted “Meet The Redds.” Given their rap names, it is a clever title. For the most part, it’s your run-of-the-mill Sexyy Red banger. Her vocals appear on the chorus, while Trippie handles the verses. The chemistry is solid, although when it comes to this rollout, we have heard more inspired singles.

Release Date: August 11, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: NDA

Quotable Lyrics from Meet The Redds

I told lil’ shawty, “Sleep tight” ’cause the coochie ain’t (Yo, hey, hey)
Lil’ shawty must be out of mind, but she in tune today (Yeah)
At the black house, I’ma fill the swimmin’ pool with drank (Yeah)

Drake Calls Out Wayno On Social Media Following 20v1 Criticism https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005452-drake-wayno-20v1-criticism-response Tue, 11 Aug 2026 12:27:47 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005452 Wayno recently called out Drake for his participation in a 20v1, and now, the megastar is clapping back the one way he knows how.

The post Drake Calls Out Wayno On Social Media Following 20v1 Criticism appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Drake has been the talk of social media over the past couple of days thanks to his decision to do a 20v1 for Stake’s ninth anniversary. He got to go on short dates with 20 women before he eventually picked three finalists. These finalists included Lena The Plug and the eventual winner, Pinkchyu.

Older figureheads in hip-hop hate the fact that Drake did this. Meanwhile, his younger fans don’t really understand the backlash.

One of the people who was disappointed in Drake was none other than Wayno. He made a video on YouTube where he called Drake’s actions corny. Wayno’s take led to widespread backlash on social media, and on Monday night, Drake himself offered up a reaction. As you will read, he took aim at the commentator for appearing on a Marvel podcast.

Drake vs. Wayno

“This you last week reviewing Marvel?????” Drake wrote. “Returning guest??? Never too late for some joy gang. Take is easeeeee.”

Drake’s take here is pretty simple. He believes that he should be allowed to have a little bit of fun sometimes. Everyone else is engaging in their hobbies, and no one has anything to say about it. However, some folks lose their minds whenever he is involved.

At this stage in his career, Drake is too big to fail. The Kendrick Lamar battle in 2024 put that notion to the test, and for a while, it seemed as though Drizzy was, in fact, fallible.

However, the success of ICEMAN and the ensuing internet discourse just proves how he continues to be the most relevant man in rap.

The Air Jordan 10 “Taxi” Is Finally Happening https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005446-air-jordan-10-taxi-sneaker-news Tue, 11 Aug 2026 01:14:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005446 The Air Jordan 10 'Taxi' finally has a release date, and it's bringing a first-ever detail to the silhouette's history.

The post The Air Jordan 10 “Taxi” Is Finally Happening appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Air Jordan 10 “Taxi” now has a release date, per zSneakerHeadz. It’s set to drop May 21st, 2027. This marks the first time the Taxi colorway has landed on this specific silhouette.

Black leather covers the base of the shoe, with a bold yellow overlay running across the mudguard and heel. A “23” graphic sits stitched into the ankle area, keeping things clean and simple compared to some of the model’s louder colorways.

The biggest story here is on the heel. This release introduces Nike Air branding for the first time in the shoe’s history. That replaces the Jumpman logo typically seen on the back of the Air Jordan 10, marking a real shift for the silhouette.

Also a white midsole with black and yellow detailing rounds out the look, along with a matching checkered pattern on the tongue. It’s a clean nod to the taxi cab theme that’s defined this colorway across other Jordan models for decades.

With over a year still to go before release, expect more details to trickle out as Jordan Brand gets closer to launch. For now, this early look is already giving collectors plenty to talk about.

Air Jordan 10 “Taxi”

“Taxi” has become one of Jordan Brand’s most recognizable naming conventions, showing up across several signature models over the years. Further the black, white, and yellow combination always ties back to the same New York City cab inspiration.

Bringing it to the Air Jordan 10 fills a notable gap in the model’s colorway history. The silhouette has leaned mostly into darker, more subdued releases, making this bright pairing a departure from its usual identity.

The heel branding swap is what really sets this one apart. Nike Air replacing the Jumpman is a rare move for any retro release, let alone a colorway as established as “Taxi.”

For longtime collectors, that small detail alone should be enough to make this one of the more talked-about Air Jordan 10 releases in recent memory.

A handful of unreleased Nike LeBron colorways have surfaced online. It gives fans an early look at several pairs still without an official release date. The lineup spans multiple models and includes some seriously eye-catching color stories.

Two LeBron 23 colorways lead the group. “Watch the Throne” revisits the luxurious black and metallic gold look first introduced on a LeBron 9 Friends & Family pair back in 2011. It was inspired by the Jay-Z and Kanye West album of the same name.

“EYBL” takes a bolder approach, covered in a fiery orange finish with crown graphics running down the side panels, tied to Nike’s youth basketball circuit.

A vibrant pink LeBron 23 dubbed “Scoring Record” also surfaced, continuing Nike’s pattern of honoring James’ record-breaking career through new colorways. Alongside it is a bright volt LeBron 20, bringing back one of Nike’s go-to high-visibility tones on an already established silhouette.

Rounding out the group is a yellow LeBron NXXT Gen tied to James’ ongoing collaboration with USC star JuJu Watkins. The pairing has already produced several colorways this year, each carrying its own color story connected to Watkins’ game and background.

Unreleased Nike Lebrons

Most of these pairs fall into player exclusive territory. A public release isn’t guaranteed for any of them. Sightings like “Watch the Throne” and “EYBL” tend to surface through people close to James’ inner circle, well before Nike ever confirms anything official.

EYBL pairs almost never make it to retail. They usually stay limited to circuit players and close friends and family. Sightings like this are often the only way fans see them.

The JuJu Watkins collaboration adds another layer here. Nike has used the NXXT Gen line to spotlight Watkins’ rise in women’s basketball, giving the partnership its own identity.

With this many pairs surfacing at once, Nike clearly isn’t slowing down on LeBron’s PE output. Whether any of these reach retail is still unknown. For now, they’re just another look at how deep his rotation goes.

A promise made to an Atlanta fan last summer is turning into a $5 party tonight. Per Complex, Tyler, The Creator has booked Enspire Mercantile for an intimate DON’T TAP THE GLASS dance event, following through exactly one year after telling a fan that the city would eventually get the same treatment he gave Los Angeles and New York. The 1,500-capacity venue appears to have already sold out.

The idea started with a fan asking Tyler to bring one of his DON’T TAP THE GLASS gatherings closer to Atlanta. He responded on August 10, 2025, with, “You have my word.” Monday’s event keeps the same low-cost approach. Admission was priced at only $5, and Tyler also revived the rule attached to the earlier parties. “Don’t come if you aren’t going to dance.” It is less of a gimmick than it might sound. Movement has been built into the entire concept surrounding DON’T TAP THE GLASS since the album arrived last July.

Wanting To Bring Back Fun Party Culture

Tyler has spoken openly about noticing that some of his friends had stopped dancing in public because they worried about being filmed and turned into online content. That discomfort helped create an album designed to push listeners away from standing around self-consciously. He later explained that his idea of dance music stretches well beyond any single genre, drawing from sounds including Atlanta bass and other regional club traditions.

The Atlanta date also stands out because Tyler did not quietly forget an offhand social media exchange once the album cycle moved forward. A fan asked. He said he would make it happen. One year later, the party is happening for five bucks, with the same expectation he set from the beginning.

Keefe D Jail Call Complicates Defense Over Tupac Memoir https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005433-keefe-d-admits-writing-book-trial Mon, 10 Aug 2026 23:23:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005433 The fight over Keffe D’s memoir now includes a jail call that appears to contradict his defense team’s ghostwriter argument.

The post Keefe D Jail Call Complicates Defense Over Tupac Memoir appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A jailhouse phone call recorded shortly after Keefe D’s 2023 arrest could make it harder for his defense to distance him from Compton Street Legend. The memoir has become an important piece of the prosecution’s case in Tupac Shakur’s murder trial, while Davis’ attorneys have argued that a ghostwriter was responsible for much of what appeared on the page. In the recorded call, Davis appears to claim the book much more directly.

According to AllHipHop, during the roughly seven-minute conversation, a woman asks Davis about the memoir. “What’s this book they say you wrote?” she says. His response is brief. “Oh, yeah, I did.” Prosecutors are now pointing to that exchange as they challenge the defense’s attempt to separate Davis from some of the book’s most damaging claims.

That dispute was already playing out in court well before jury selection began. Defense attorney Michael Sanft tried to prevent prosecutors from using Compton Street Legend, arguing that statements in the book could not simply be attributed to Davis because a ghostwriter was involved. District Judge Carli Kierny rejected the effort in June and ruled that the memoir could be introduced at trial.

A Written Confession…Of Sorts

The authorship question matters because Compton Street Legend contains an account placing Davis inside the white Cadillac connected to Tupac’s September 1996 shooting. The book describes Davis passing a gun into the back seat before the attack. Prosecutors accuse him of helping organize the retaliation that followed the MGM Grand beating of his nephew Orlando Anderson. They do not need to prove Davis personally fired at Tupac to pursue the murder charge against him.

Moreover, the jail call does not establish that Davis personally wrote every sentence in the memoir, nor does it determine whether every story in the book is true. His attorneys have spent considerable time trying to explain the gap between the Davis now pleading not guilty and the man who publicly discussed Tupac’s killing before his arrest. Previous defense arguments have characterized some of those stories as exaggerated for attention or profit. His current lawyers have similarly suggested that his public persona should not automatically be treated as an accurate account of what happened in Las Vegas.

As prosecutors build a case heavily influenced by Davis’ own words, the fight is increasingly becoming not just about what he said, but which version of Keefe D jurors are willing to believe.

Kim Kardashian’s Hidden Hills Estate Targeted By Alleged Burglar https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005430-kim-kardashian-home-burglary-estate Mon, 10 Aug 2026 22:50:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005430 Police arrested a man at Kim Kardashian’s estate, though her camp says he never actually made it inside the home.

A security breach at Kim Kardashian’s Hidden Hills property ended with a 27-year-old man in custody Sunday, but exactly how far he made it onto the estate is already disputed. Law enforcement says the suspect burglarized the property while it was undergoing renovations. Sources close to Kardashian insist he never entered the house at all.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department was called to the gated community shortly before 4 p.m. on August 9. Authorities said a man had been seen putting items into a vehicle at Kardashian’s property, where no one was living at the time. Kardashian and her children have been staying elsewhere while work is being completed on the home.

According to TMZ’s law enforcement sources, the suspect forced his way through a door and removed property from inside. He is also accused of taking a vehicle belonging to one of Kardashian’s staff members and driving it around the neighborhood. A security guard reportedly spotted the vehicle and followed it back to the estate before deputies were called.

Disputing Police Accounts

Kardashian’s camp disputes a key part of that account. Sources close to her say the man never made it inside the residence and that none of her personal belongings are currently being kept there. That leaves some uncertainty over what authorities say they saw being loaded into the vehicle and where those items came from.

Deputies eventually surrounded the property and arrested the suspect without further incident. He was booked on suspicion of burglary. No one was injured, and authorities said they did not find a weapon on him. Still, this incident adds to a history of security problems surrounding Kardashian’s Hidden Hills residence. In 2022, another man made it through the community’s gated entrance before security stopped him near her home. Deputies said at the time that the man had previously appeared on surveillance footage connected to the property. Hidden Hills later increased security measures following several unwanted visits involving members of the Kardashian family.

Keffe D’s Tupac Murder Trial Begins With Jury Selection https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005427-tupac-trial-jury-selection-keefe-d Mon, 10 Aug 2026 22:06:07 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005427 Roughly 75 potential jurors were summoned as Keffe D’s Tupac murder trial officially got underway in Las Vegas.

The post Keffe D’s Tupac Murder Trial Begins With Jury Selection appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
One of the most anticipated Hip Hop murder trials has launched, now that jury selection is underway in Las Vegas for the first murder prosecution ever brought in Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing. Roughly 75 prospective jurors were summoned Monday as attorneys began determining who can fairly hear a case that has generated three decades of headlines, documentaries, interviews, and competing theories. The selection process could take several days, while the trial itself is expected to run about a month.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, has pleaded not guilty to murder with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors do not accuse him of firing the shots that killed Tupac. Instead, they describe him as the “shot caller” who helped organize a retaliatory attack after Tupac and members of the Death Row Records entourage beat Davis’ nephew, Orlando Anderson, inside the MGM Grand on September 7, 1996.

Hours after the casino fight, a white Cadillac pulled alongside the BMW driven by Suge Knight near the Las Vegas Strip. Tupac was sitting in the passenger seat when someone inside the Cadillac opened fire. He was struck four times and died six days later at 25. Knight was wounded but survived. Prosecutors say Davis was riding in the Cadillac with Anderson and two other men.

Keefe D’s Own Words Used Against Him

The case reaching a jury in 2026 is largely built around things Davis said himself. Authorities had considered him a suspect for years but said they lacked enough evidence to charge him. That changed as Davis began discussing the shooting publicly. In interviews and his 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend, he placed himself in the front passenger seat of the Cadillac. He also described obtaining a gun before passing it toward the men seated behind him. The three other alleged occupants have since died.

Those statements will now become part of the courtroom fight. Davis’ attorneys argued that a detailed 2008 interview with authorities should be excluded because it was given under an agreement protecting his cooperation. Judge Carli Kierny ruled in July that prosecutors may play the recording for jurors. The defense has also argued that Davis embellished stories about Tupac’s murder for money and attention.

The prosecution does not have to establish which man in the back seat fired the weapon in order to convict Davis. Nevada law allows someone accused of knowingly participating in a murder plot to be held criminally responsible even when another person carried out the shooting. That will put the focus on whether prosecutors can prove Davis helped set the attack in motion.

Further, Suge Knight could become one of the trial’s most closely watched witnesses because he was sitting beside Tupac when the shooting happened, although it remains unclear whether he will testify. Prosecutors have included him among the potential witnesses, while Knight has publicly resisted participating.

Outside the courthouse Monday (August 10), William Lesane, who identified himself as Tupac’s cousin, described the proceedings as the culmination of 30 years of pain for the family. Davis faces a possible sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted. Jury selection will continue before opening statements begin in Clark County District Court.
