Detroit rapper Siditty was a rising voice in hip-hop whose life and career was tragically cut short this week. According to an 11Alive NBC report caught by No Jumper on Instagram, she was shot and killed in Atlanta yesterday (Thursday, April 9).

The femcee, real name Qualeisha Barnes, was also a nursing student who lived in Atlanta for almost ten years. Via a news release, the city’s police department reportedly stated that officers responded to the scene at around 1:23AM local time. They reportedly found an “adult female inside of her vehicle, unresponsive, with multiple gunshot wounds.” EMS services reportedly pronounced her “deceased on scene,” and an investigation into the shooting is reportedly underway. Siditty reportedly suffered four gunshot wounds to the face.

Barnes was reportedly 14 weeks pregnant at the time of her death, according to her family’s statements to 11Alive reporter Chase Houle. Also, the family reportedly believes this was a targeted attack because of the pregnancy. “Loved dressing up, she loved beauty,” a family member stated. “She made the Dean’s List, she had, like, two more semesters to go. She was so proud of herself. And we were so proud of her.”

Siditty’s family reportedly believes multiple people may be responsible for the murder and alleged set-up. “If you instigate something that causes a murder, then you need some kind… You need something. I think you need to go to jail, too,” a family member stated.

RIP Siditty

Siditty had been building a name for herself in Detroit hip-hop and beyond thanks to tracks like “Get A Check” with Peezy and “Bad lil B***h.” She had a brash and confident approach to her music that made it resonate with many within and outside of her circle. Barnes also worked hard to become a nurse, a path she will sadly not get to follow through on.

We will see if more statements from Siditty’s family or police emerge in the near future. At press time, no other details, suspicions, or developments in the case have emerged. For now, fans are sharing their condolences and wishing Barnes’ family all the best.
Rest In Peace Siddity.

Foolio’s Murder Trial Is Underway As All Four Men Face Death Penalty https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/988739-foolio-murder-trial-underway Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:25:07 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=988739 After nearly two full years since Foolio's passing, the rapper's murder trial is getting off the ground as officials narrow down the jury.

The post Foolio’s Murder Trial Is Underway As All Four Men Face Death Penalty appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
In June 2024, Jacksonville rapper Foolio, real name Charles Jones, was murdered outside of a Tampa hotel while celebrating his 26th birthday. Now, after about a year of gathering evidence and arresting all five of the suspects, the trial for this case is underway.

Per Fox 13 Tampa Bay, the jury selection process started on Wednesday, April 8, at a downtown Tampa courthouse. Attorneys for both the four remaining defendants and the prosecutors are reportedly choosing from roughly 250 people.

Sean Gathright, Rashad Murphy, Davion Murphy and Isaiah Chance, the four men charged with first-degree murder, are all facing the death penalty.

As a result, potential members of the jury will be inquired about their views on the death penalty. Those who won’t entertain the possibility of such a punishment will be eliminated early on. In the end, 14 jurors are the goal.

After that concludes, the trial will really be set in motion. All four men are being tried together, something that their legal reps tried to argue against. The news station reports that in March they tried to convince the court that some evidence such as certain statements and alleged gang connections could unfairly influence jurors.

Alicia Andrews’ Sentencing For Foolio Murder

Prosecutors affirmed they will not bring forth certain evidence that may not apply to all of the defendants. With their being such a large number of people being interviewed, expect the jury selection to take at least a few days.

But if anything else pops up before this portion of the trial ends, we will be sure to inform you.

The last major update we reported on in regard to the Foolio case was Alicia Andrews’ sentence ruling. That occurred back at the end of October 2025. In sum, she dodged the first-degree murder charge that her alleged co-conspirators face.

Instead, Andrews was hit with a guilty manslaughter charge. She also was found not guilty of conspiracy to commit murder. She too was facing a life sentence if she was convicted of first-degree murder. Now, according to Complex, the max is 15 years.

As it stands, she’s still yet to hear what her sentence will be. Initially, she was slated to receive her result on December 8. However, days prior to the aforementioned date, her legal team argued that the court should be disqualified from “any further participation” in the case. In addition, they asked for her sentencing to be delayed. They got their wish in regard to the judge being removed in January. However, a new sentencing date is seemingly still in limbo.

Pooh Shiesty is in a lot of trouble for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane, which he responded to in his new “Crash Dummy” diss track. Many folks feel like this constitutes snitching, which pairs with FBI reports that Gucci provided a statement to police about the alleged robbery. Wack 100 recently argued with DJ Akademiks on the latter’s livestream about it, arguing Guwop is still protected by musical expression.

As caught by CY Chels on Twitter, Wack argued that we don’t know if the Alabama native wrote the song. Ak argued that this is just as much of a snitching incident as the alleged statement to police. The streamer couldn’t believe the executive’s argument, positing that the song is even worse than the statement. Still, Wack stood firm on his beliefs, giving Gucci the benefit of the doubt.

“Rapping about it and doing it is two different things,” Wack 100 expressed. He combated DJ Akademiks’ argument that he likes when artists live what they rap, arguing that “YNs” have made that previously unadvisable route more appealing. “Man, y’all don’t know what a motherf***er was doing unless a motherf***er was there with him. I don’t give a f**k what you’re talking about,” Wack continued.

He also berated Akademiks for allegedly not knowing what he’s talking about, arguing that Gucci Mane is just an entertainer. In response, Ak insinuated Gucci might be lying about his previous street persona and told when someone really from the streets pressed him, if Wack is correct in his assessment.

“Crash Dummy” Lyrics

On “Crash Dummy,” Gucci Mane made several lyrical allusions to the alleged kidnapping and robbery, such as “Tell the truth, you went out like a real crash dummy / And after all that, boy, you still signed to me,” “I thought it was a business meeting, but it was a set-up,” and “Pen to the paper, but it’s under duress.”

Meanwhile, Pooh Shiesty’s fighting this Gucci Mane case in court, although he didn’t recently receive good news. Following a bond denial, his lawyer Bradford Cohen said he’s in “good spirits.” We’ll see how the legal development continues.

The Air Jordan 9 Boot “Olive” Is Coming Back For The First Time Since 2017 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/988724-air-jordan-9-boot-olive-sneaker-news Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:42:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=988724 The Air Jordan 9 Boot "Olive" is returning this year marking the first retro of the fan-favorite colorway since its original release.

The post The Air Jordan 9 Boot “Olive” Is Coming Back For The First Time Since 2017 appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
A fan favorite is making its return. The Air Jordan 9 Boot “Olive” is expected to return this year. It has been nearly a decade since sneakerheads last had a real shot at this one.

Modern Notoriety reports that the Air Jordan 9 Boot “Olive” is dropping in the Holiday of 2026.

The Air Jordan 9 Boot NRG “Olive” originally released on December 6th, 2017. Before that, the boot silhouette was rarely seen. Its return was a surprise then, and its comeback now carries just as much weight.

The Boot version of the AJ9 takes the classic silhouette in a completely different direction. It trades the standard basketball profile for a rugged, cold-weather build. Metal eyelets, a thick outsole, and premium suede paneling make it one of Jordan Brand’s most unique releases.

The “Olive” colorway has a long and layered history within the Air Jordan 9 lineup. It originally debuted in 1993 and slowly developed a passionate following over time. The Boot interpretation gave the colorway new life and new purpose.

The Air Jordan 9 Boot “Wheat” and “Black Gum” colorways are already available, signaling that Jordan Brand is heavily investing in the Boot silhouette again. The “Olive” return feels like the natural next chapter. Holiday 2026 cannot come fast enough for fans who have been waiting on this one.

Air Jordan 9 Boot “Olive” Retail Price

The Air Jordan 9 Boot “Olive” features a durable boot-style build with black leather uppers, olive suede mudguards, and bold red accents, blending street style with outdoor functionality. The black leather covers most of the upper, with the olive suede wrapping the heel, ankle, and mudguard for a warm, earthy contrast.

Red Jumpman branding lands on the outsole for a subtle but sharp pop of color. Metal eyelets replace the standard plastic ones, giving the shoe a more rugged, premium feel.

The chunky outsole finishes the look and make it practical enough for winter yet stylish enough for everyday wear. Also the retail price of the Air Jordan 9 Boot “Olive” will be $230 when they drop.

Ronald Savage, Afrika Bambaataa’s First Accuser, Mourns His Passing https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/988707-ronald-savage-reacts-afrika-bambaataa-death Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:32:50 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=988707 Despite the history being what it was with Afrika Bambaataa, Ronald Savage is still sending his best to the former's family amid his death.

The post Ronald Savage, Afrika Bambaataa’s First Accuser, Mourns His Passing appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The passing of Afrika Bambaataa has been a tricky subject to discuss for many. That’s because of the hip-hop pioneer’s controversial past. In the late 2010s, the New York native was being hit with allegation after allegation. Making it worse was the fact the accusations themselves centered around child abuse, molestation, and sexual assault.

They all severely muddied the waters for Bambaataa who should solely be remembered for his contributions to rap. Some people, especially some of his accusers, aren’t showing him and his family much compassion as a result.

But Ronald “Bee Stinger” Savage, the first man to push such allegations against Bambaataa, is encouraging these people to look past all of that.

In an exclusive statement to AllHipHop, Savage expressed how much the 67-year-old’s death has been impacting him as well. “My heart is heavy with sorrow, and I send my deepest, most sincere condolences to his biological family and to our extended family, the Universal Zulu Nation. While we acknowledge the complexities of history, we must honor and respect what he did for the foundation of this culture. Without his vision, the global stage that Hip-Hop stands on today would not exist,” he said.

Hassan Campbell Reacts To Afrika Bambaataa’s Death

It seems Savage’s change of heart stems from some conversations they had in recent years. He explains, “I am eternally grateful that I had the opportunity to speak with Bambaataa at the Queen Pepsi tribute at Crotona Park in the Bronx. In that moment, I got my closure. It was a spiritual experience that transcended words. From that point forward, Bambaataa and I stayed in constant contact. Those conversations meant the world to me, and I cherish the bond we maintained until his final days.”

Unfortunately, it seems like Savage’s message is going to stay falling on deaf ears, especially when it comes to Hassan Campbell. The latter also accused Bambaataa of multiple sexual advances while he was around 13 years old.

He reacted in a cold-blooded manner yesterday in a video posted to his Facebook. “I just want to take the time out to say rest in peace to the greatest child predator who ever walked this earth, Afrika Bambaataa,” he said.

Chris Brown and Usher recently collaborated on the “It Depends” remix following a brief but debunked series of alleged beef rumors. Fortunately for fans of both R&B icons, they are embarking on their “Raymond & Brown (R&B)” joint tour soon, as they announced via social media today (Friday, April 10). Two legends of the genre will cross over for a run of dazzling shows, finally turning comparisons between them into an undeniably celebratory moment.

However, all they shared at press time is the tour announcement itself. As such, die-hards want to get more information as quickly as possible, as demand for this trek will likely be staggering.

Via the social media trailer they dropped, it seems like they will hit many stadiums on this tour. In one moment from the teaser, the duo took an elevator up to the “stadium” floor after riding their motorcycles around. The clip also shows a lot of ecstatic fans rushing to the venue after notifications for the tour hit their phones. It’s not a very detailed teaser, but it’s an exciting and evocative one nonetheless.

Still, the biggest piece of information fans need right now is when the “Raymond & Brown” tour will take place and when tickets for it will go on sale. At press time, neither bits of information are available. We’re sure this will change soon, though. Perhaps the weekend will hold more details about this trek and fans can get a better idea of how much money to save and how to schedule their attendance.

Other than that, no other details have emerged about the “R&B” tour. Given the trailer for it, fans can most likely expect impressive stage designs, dramatic fan interactions, a cavalcade of hits and beloved deep cuts, and much more. Considering Usher and Chris Brown’s long-standing dynamic, this will be a celebration.

With that in mind, fans are keeping their eyes peeled for the duo to drop more information about the “Raymond & Brown” tour and where and when it will go. After many amazing shows from both superstars, this could be their biggest endeavor yet regarding live performances.

The post Palace x Nike Air Max 95 NYC Release Ends In Chaos After NYPD Called appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Palace x Nike Air Max 95 release in New York City did not go as planned. The Palace Skateboards x Nike Air Max 95 was scheduled to release April 10th, 2026, through Palace Skateboards in-store and online. What followed was one of the most chaotic sneaker drops the city has seen in years.

Crowds flooded the SoHo block ahead of the wristband distribution. The scene quickly spiraled out of control. Police were on the scene, and several people were seemingly arrested by the NYPD.

Palace responded swiftly. The brand posted an urgent announcement directly to their Instagram story. The Palace NYC store would no longer be selling the Air Max 95 or any accompanying apparel from the collection.

Instead, Palace directed customers to shop online at 11AM EST. The brand apologized for the inconvenience. It was a complete reversal of what was supposed to be a celebrated in-store moment.

A second drop is still on for April 16th, 2026, via the Nike SNKRS app. That online release gives fans who missed out another shot. But the in-store energy that made this drop so anticipated is now completely off the table.

Retail price will be $200 when they do release. The shoe is already commanding serious attention on secondary markets. Chaos like this only adds to the mystique of an already highly anticipated collab.

Palace x Nike Air Max 95

The Palace x Nike Air Max 95 arrives in a predominantly silver and black colorway with baby blue accents tying it directly to the apparel collection. Also the upper features a metallic silver gradient that fades into black toward the heel.

Baby blue hits land on the Air Max unit and the outsole grid, adding a clean pop of color. Palace branding appears on the heel tab in the same blue tone. Further the Air Max 95 was originally designed in 1995, inspired by the human spine and muscle tissue.

Palace’s take keeps that layered aesthetic intact while adding a premium, almost futuristic finish that feels fresh.

The chaos surrounding the Palace x Nike Air Max 95 drop is a reminder of how quickly in-person releases can go sideways. For a collab this clean, it deserves a better moment than what SoHo delivered Thursday night.

The post Pooh Shiesty Reacts With Disbelief To Gucci Mane’s Alleged Police Statement appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Gucci Mane allegedly gave a statement to the police about the alleged kidnapping and robbery he suffered at the hands of Pooh Shiesty. This quickly became a controversial point of debate in this case, and we now know how the Memphis rapper reportedly reacted to this revelation in court.

As covered by Bryson “Boom” Paul on Twitter, a Wednesday (April 8) hearing in Dallas contained an FBI agent’s testimony about the matter. The agent (named Handson) alleged Gucci gave a statement to the city’s police department about the alleged incident at a studio in the area.

Upon this testimony, Shiesty reportedly rested his head against the courtroom wall and shook his left leg. His attorney Bradford Cohen reportedly questioned Handson about Guwop allegedly being pushed on a couch and facing guns in his direction. Agent Handson alleged that the Alabama native told his security, “We’re out-gunned.” The security in question were reportedly former officers for the Detroit Police Department.

Pooh reportedly “shook his head in disbelief” when the agent claimed Gucci told his security to “put the gun down.” We will see what other courtroom updates emerge while this case continues to develop.

“Crash Dummy” Diss

Elsewhere, Gucci Mane dissed Pooh Shiesty on his new track “Crash Dummy.” In it, he mocks Shiesty for the alleged kidnapping and has a more than a few pointed lines about it. “Tell the truth, you went out like a real crash dummy / And after all that, boy, you still signed to me,” Guwop rapped on the cut, also spitting “I thought it was a business meeting, but it was a set-up.”

As such, it seems like he has little sympathy for Pooh and his situation. Of course, the claims about a statement to police line up with this perspective. But we will have to wait for more information and discussion from both sides.

Meanwhile, Pooh Shiesty’s Gucci Mane case isn’t discouraging him. Despite a bond denial, his attorney Bradford Cohen told TMZ he’s in “good spirits” despite his incarceration. We’re sure Shiesty will have a lot more to say about this alleged statement and alleged situation.

H3adband is known for making some exciting and energetic rap songs. DaBaby is an artist you could say the exact same thing about. With that being said, it should not be that surprising that the two would link up. They have been teasing the track “She Can Get It” for some time now. Today, it has finally been released in all of its glory, and it contains the exact kind of sound fans were hoping for. Overall, this is a song that has a very obvious story to tell. The subject matter is raunchy, with both artists refusing to shy away from it. While DaBaby does change up his flow here into something more subdued, he keeps it interesting.

Stephen Curry’s sneaker free agency just produced another double feature. Against the Sacramento Kings on April 8, Curry came to play with two very different pairs. In the tunnel, he rocked LeBron James’ Nike Air Zoom Generation. On the court, he debuted the unreleased ANTA KAI 3 “Mastery.”

The Nike Air Zoom Generation made its official debut during LeBron James’ first regular season game as a professional on November 5th, 2003. Curry wearing it in the tunnel was a clear tribute to King James. It is one of the most historically significant shoes in NBA history.

Then the game started, and Curry switched things up entirely. The Warriors star laced up an unreleased “Mastery” ANTA KAI 3, Kyrie Irving’s signature shoe, during Golden State’s 110-105 win over the Kings.

Curry first debuted the ANTA KAI 3 back in January and revealed he called Kyrie Irving beforehand to get his blessing. The respect between the two has been well documented. Wearing a new colorway of the KAI 3 in a win only adds to that story.

ANTA continues to stand out among the brands in Curry’s sneaker free agency rotation. Tuesday night showed why. Two shoes, two legends, one night.

Steph Curry x LeBron Nike Air Zoom Generation

The Nike Air Zoom Generation made its official debut during LeBron James’ first regular season game on November 5th, 2003. The “First Game” colorway that Curry wore in the tunnel is one of the most storied in the entire LeBron Nike catalog.

It features a white leather base with red mesh paneling and navy accents. The design was inspired by LeBron’s Hummer H2 and built around a Zoom Air forefoot unit and Max Air heel cushioning.

The gold “11-5-2003” stitching on the inner collar makes it deeply personal. Curry wearing it as a tunnel shoe was the perfect quiet tribute to a living legend.

Steph Curry Rocks New ANTA KAI 3

The ANTA KAI 3 “Mastery” features a warm, earthy tan upper with rust-red detailing across the side panels. Speckled midsole accents and a translucent outsole add texture to the understated color palette. “WSC” is scripted on the forefoot, a nod to Curry’s connection to the shoe.

The KAI 3 was inspired by the peregrine falcon and features ventilated detailing and a nitrogen-infused foam midsole. The colorway reads more lifestyle than performance, but it holds its own on the court.

It is one of the cleaner KAI 3 colorways released so far, letting the materials and shape do the talking.
