bbno$ is an artist who has certainly taken some flak over the years for his style. Some find it to be a gimmick, while others deem it corny. Despite this, he does have a pretty sizable fanbase. These fans were disheartened to hear that bbno$ would be stepping away from music. Thankfully, for them, on Friday, he made his return with “Diamonds Are Forever.” What’s nice about this song is that he gets away from the gimmicks and corny production. Instead, we just get a solid rap track in which the artist is speaking from the heart. A change of pace that many can appreciate.

Quotable Lyrics from Diamonds Are Forever

Archineck twins up on my floor playing mahogany and oak
I ordered tuna over rice and somebody told me it’s “Poke”
I had no idea how much LA people loved to hit the slopes
Once my name popped up on these screens, they started blowing me like smoke

Kyrie Irving Shows Love To LaRussell By Purchasing His Album For $11,000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/969928-kyrie-irving-buys-larussells-album-for-11k-hip-hop-news Fri, 09 Jan 2026 23:14:18 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=969928 LaRussell set a big goal for himself to sell 100,000 copies of his upcoming album independently, and multiple celebs have been chipping in.

]]>
Bay Area rapper LaRussell has been a prominent and lively voice in the West Coast scene for several years now. He’s got a steady support base in California especially and as a result, he’s setting a big goal for himself. According to XXL, he’s shooting to sell 100,000 copies of his next album, Something’s In The Water, independently.

Fans can buy the project for as low as .99 cents, but a few celebrities have gone above and beyond the call of duty. One of those people includes Dallas Mavericks point guard and NBA champion, Kyrie Irving.

LaRussell was absolutely taken aback by the healthy donation/purchase of just over $11,000. He revealed the news while on a livestream saying, “This morning, I woke up and I had a sale for $11,000. And I’m like, who the hell would give me $11,000? And it happened to be number 11 on the Dallas Mavericks.”

He then called the future Hall of Famer to thank him with Kyrie telling him that he’s more than deserved it.

“You earned it… You work your a*s off. I want to contribute to what you got going on. And I know you’ll pay it forward.”

LaRussell’s Album Is Available On EVEN

LaRussell already has, revealing on his Instagram about a day ago that he’s using it to help those in need.

“Kyrie Irving blessed me earlier this week and I’m paying it forward. I’m helping people with their bills this month! PG&E, Medical Bills, Rent Assistance, Phone Bills, Water, Diapers, Supplies, etc. I’ll be choosing people randomly who fill out the form in my bio!”

But it’s not just the star guard that’s contributed. Snoop Dogg also chipped in by buying the record for $2,500. Taking to his X LaRussell wrote, “UNCLE SNOOP BOUGHT AN ALBUM FOR $2,500!!!! It feels so good knowing those who came before me and paved a way for me to do what I do respects my art and my grind. I wouldn’t do what I do today if I never watched Snoop performing on the Up In Smoke DVD!!! That DVD kicked off my desire to rap!!!”

Snoop hit back, “Had 2 do it!!! Nefew @LaRussellGC changin tha game.”

As for where you can buy the artist’s upcoming album, you can pre-order it on EVEN. The 14-song effort drops February 6 and for those curious, 9,430 sales have been made at the time of writing.

Benzino Compares Eminem To Adin Ross While Trashing Ross’ Doechii Jabs https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/969925-benzino-compares-eminem-adin-ross-trashing-doechii-hip-hop-news Fri, 09 Jan 2026 22:58:07 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=969925 Benzino clearly still wants all the smoke with Eminem, even if he has nothing to do with Adin Ross' controversial criticisms of Doechii.

The post Benzino Compares Eminem To Adin Ross While Trashing Ross’ Doechii Jabs appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Adin Ross’ controversial attacks against Doechii have led to a lot of different responses from hip-hop, whether it’s from allies like DJ Akademiks or critics like Benzino who previously hadn’t spoken on the streamer. But The Source‘s previous co-owner invoked his most infamous hip-hop feud, Eminem, to drag the Kick-streaming content creator for his disrespect towards the Tampa star.

He began his remarks by bringing up the Detroit MC “calling Black women b***hes and making a whole song about it,” although he didn’t specify the song in question. From there, as caught by Livebitez on Instagram, Benzino went on to drag Ross through the mud for his criticisms of the TDE signee, specifically dismissing the excuse that Black men have disrespected Black women as well without getting as much backlash.

He said this is just an excuse for “culture vultures” to “play in [their] faces,” calling for the culture to check these “demons” for their disrespect. ‘Zino said Adin needs to apologize to Doechii and other Black women he may have disrespected, and said the folks around him letting it slide have no self-respect, “never mind [respect for] a Black woman.”

“Apologize and you’ll show that people make mistakes and they move on,” he added, positing that he’ll have “problems” if he doesn’t despite his security and his popularity.

What Did Adin Ross Say About Doechii?

As for what Adin Ross said about Doechii, he’s been critical of her for quite some time. He previously accused her of botting her commercial performance, being an industry plant, and being unintelligent, talentless, and entitled, among other harsh insults.

Most recently, though, the streamer doubled down on many of these claims during a session with 6ix9ine and Cuffem, even dissing her on a song. “That dumb, fat b***h. Sorry, she’s not fat,” he expressed. “That dumb b***h, that f***ing botted f***ing b***h. Dude, that f***ing stupid smelly wh*re.”

As for Eminem and Benzino’s beef, the latter keeps going at him despite their feud being decades old at this point. It did recently flare up via an on-record diss this decade, but for the most part, it’s business as usual.

Ranking The 10 Best Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Lows https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/969692-best-travis-scott-air-jordan-1-lows-ranked-sneaker-news Fri, 09 Jan 2026 22:48:38 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=969692 Ranking the top 10 Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Low collaboration and breaking down what makes each signature Travis shoe special.

The post Ranking The 10 Best Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Lows appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Travis Scott’s collaboration with Jordan Brand has produced some of the most coveted sneakers in recent memory. The Air Jordan 1 Low silhouette has been the perfect canvas for La Flame’s creative vision.

His signature backwards swoosh has become an iconic design element that defines the entire collection. From limited friends and family releases to widely sought-after general drops, each colorway tells its own story.

These collaborations blend premium materials with unique color blocking that sets them apart from standard releases. The resale market for these shoes remains incredibly strong years after their initial drops. Let’s break down the top 10 Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Lows:

10. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “White Party” (F&F)

Coming in at number ten is the ultra-exclusive White Party release. This friends and family pair was limited to just 350 pairs worldwide.

The shoe features an all-white leather upper with cream accents throughout the design. Travis’s backwards swoosh appears in a matching white tone for a tonal look. The exclusivity alone makes this pair legendary in sneaker circles.

Most collectors will never see this shoe in person, let alone own it. The clean colorway works perfectly for summer fits and special occasions.

While a clean pair, the extreme rarity keeps it from ranking higher on this list. It’s more of a grail chase than a realistic pickup for most fans.

9. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Velvet Brown”

The “Velvet Brown” sits at number nine in our rankings. This release dropped in December 2024 for simple and clean colorway enthusiasts.

The shoe features rich brown tones across its suede and leather upper. Travis’s signature backwards swoosh appears in a lighter tan shade for contrast. The velvet texture gives this pair a premium feel that stands out.

The brown colorway is versatile enough to wear with various casual outfits. While it’s a solid release, it lacks the pop of higher-ranked pairs. The brown aesthetic is clean but doesn’t make a bold statement. It’s a great option for sneakerheads who prefer understated earth-tone footwear.

8. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf “Neutral Olive”

At number 8, we have the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf “Neutral Olive.” This release came in September 2024 and targeted the golf community specifically. Earthy olive tones dominate the upper with cream and black accents throughout.

The backwards swoosh in cream provides a nice contrast against the olive base. Premium suede and leather materials give this shoe a luxury feel. Golf-specific traction on the sole makes it course-ready right out of the box.

The neutral colorway pairs well with various golf and casual outfits. Like other golf releases, the specialized audience keeps it lower on this list. It’s a fantastic shoe for those who appreciate both sneakers and golf.

7. Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Military Blue”

The Military Blue Fragment collab lands at number 7. This release dropped in November 2025 to massive anticipation from collectors.

Classic military blue hits the swoosh and collar areas with precision. White leather makes up the majority of the upper for a clean look. Black accents on the toe box and heel add depth to the design.

Fragment’s lightning bolt logo and Travis’s backwards swoosh create a triple collaboration. The colorway pays homage to classic Jordan 1 heritage while feeling fresh.

6. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Canary” (Elkins)

The “Canary” colorway, also known as Elkins, takes the 6th spot. Bright yellow suede overlays make this one of the boldest Travis releases. It takes inspiration from Scott’s high school.

The vibrant canary yellow pairs with cream and brown earth tones beautifully. Travis’s backwards swoosh appears in brown suede for a nice contrast. This shoe definitely makes a statement and isn’t for those who prefer subtle fits.

The quality of materials matches other releases in the Travis Scott lineup. Limited availability made this a tough cop when it originally dropped. The bold color scheme divides sneakerheads but creates a unique look. It’s perfect for those who want their sneakers to be conversation starters.

5. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Black Phantom”

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Black Phantom” is in at #5. This release went heavy on black and grey tones for a stealthy aesthetic.

Premium black suede covers the overlays, while grey leather handles the base. The backwards swoosh in grey suede provides subtle branding that doesn’t overwhelm. This might be the most versatile colorway for everyday wear situations.

The darker palette makes it easier to style with various outfits. Quality craftsmanship shines through in every detail of this release. It’s understated compared to other Travis collabs, but that’s part of its appeal. The “Black Phantom” works for both casual and slightly dressed-up occasions.

4. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Olive”

Image via StockX

The “Olive” colorway sits comfortably at number four on this list. Earthy olive green suede overlays define the overall aesthetic of this shoe.

Sail leather bases contrast beautifully with the darker olive tones throughout. Travis’s signature backwards swoosh appears in a lighter cream shade. This release dropped in April and became an instant hit.

This is a fall-ready color scheme, and it’s perfect for autumn and winter fits. Materials feel premium, and the construction quality matches previous successful releases.

The olive colorway offers something different from typical Jordan 1 palettes. It’s become a favorite among collectors who appreciate earth-tone sneakers.

3. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Mocha”

Third place goes to the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Mocha”. This was the original Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Low release.

Rich mocha brown suede overlays sit atop cream and white leather panels. The backwards swoosh in cream creates Travis’s signature look on the silhouette. This shoe set the template for every Travis Low that followed.

The colorway remains incredibly wearable and pairs with almost any casual outfit. Resale values have stayed strong since the original 2019 release. This is the blueprint that made the entire collaboration series special. It’s a must-have for any serious Travis Scott or Jordan collector.

2. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Reverse Mocha”

Image via StockX

The “Reverse Mocha” takes second in our rankings. This colorway flips the original Mocha blocking for a fresh perspective. White leather dominates the upper while mocha brown hits the swoosh area.

Black suede on the toe box and heel adds depth. Travis’s backwards swoosh in white leather stands out against brown panels. This release arguably improved upon the already excellent original Mocha design.

The reversed color blocking gives it a cleaner, more versatile aesthetic. It’s become one of the most sought-after Travis Scott sneakers, period. The “Reverse Mocha” works with virtually any casual wardrobe effortlessly.

1. Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low OG

Image via StockX

Taking the top spot is the original Fragment collaboration. This triple collaboration brought together Travis, Fragment, and Jordan Brand perfectly.

The color blocking features black, white, and military blue in classic proportions. Fragment’s lightning bolt logo appears alongside Travis’s backwards swoosh design. Premium leather construction makes this feel like a true premium release.

The combination of three iconic brands created something truly special. This shoe was released in August 2021 and caused absolute pandemonium. Resale prices remain astronomical years after the original drop date.

The Fragment collab represents the pinnacle of Travis Scott’s Low releases. It’s the most complete package in terms of design, quality, and cultural impact.

The post G Herbo Achieves His First Solo Platinum Plaque With “Went Legit” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
G Herbo’s 2026 is off to an incredible start and its thanks in part to one of his newest hits. “Went Legit,” which is produced in part by Southside and also samples Kanye West’s “Drive Slow,” has just went platinum. The track appears on his 2024 mixtape, Greatest Rapper Alive.

If you remember, the project initially released on an app that gave his fans access to exclusive content. Eventually, though, in April 2025 the Chicago native put GRA on all streaming platforms.

G Herbo isn’t a complete stranger to RIAA certifications, though. He’s got five in his name thanks to contributions on Nardo Wick’s “Who Want Smoke??” Pooh Shiesty’s “Switch It Up,” and Young Dolph’s “1 Scale.”

He’s also got two directly tied to his name. Herbo has a gold plaque for his PTSD album and a platinum one for its namesake song featuring Juice WRLD, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Uzi Vert.

So why is this accolade for “Went Legit” noteworthy?

Well, as you can see above thanks to a post from XXL, it’s G Herbo’s first solo platinum plaque ever. He’s officially gone platinum with no features.

Herbo recognized his own achievement on his Instagram writing “THANK GOD FRFR” alongside a screenshot of RIAA’s entry for “Went Legit.”

Speaking of posting to his social media recently, Herbo had another exciting announcement to share there. On New Year’s Eve, Herbo finally proposed to his long-time girlfriend Taina Williams and she said yes!

Per iHeart, he dropped to one knee at the Brooklyn Chop House in Miami. Him and Williams have been an item since 2019 and share two children. They have a son, Essex, who was born in 2021, and a daughter, Emmy, born in 2022.

Herbo documented the momentous evening with a couple of posts with one captioned, “LAST NIGHT WAS 1 OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE… I MANNED UP I BOSSED UP & I MADE THE SMARTEST DECISION EVER BY MAKING @latainax3 SIGN A DEATH ROW CONTRACT!!! THIS SH*T 4 LIFE NOW,” he joked. “LOVE YOU MAMIIIII &&& S/O TO MY BROTHERS 4 BEING BY MY SIDE AND MAKING THIS SH*T SPECIAL 4ME.”

Joe Budden Confronts DJ Akademiks For Not Defending Him Against Adin Ross https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/969918-joe-budden-confronts-dj-akademiks-defending-adin-ross-hip-hop-news Fri, 09 Jan 2026 22:30:14 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=969918 Joe Budden took strong issue with Adin Ross' Doechii criticisms, and DJ Akademiks explained why he's not checking Ross' Budden disses.

The post Joe Budden Confronts DJ Akademiks For Not Defending Him Against Adin Ross appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Adin Ross’ criticisms of Doechii have spiraled into a bit of a media toss-up between Joe Budden, DJ Akademiks, and a few other figures. But it’s important to clarify things when relationships get contentious like this.

On the most recent episode of his podcast, Budden called Akademiks to confront him about not defending him to Ross when he was trashing Joe for his criticisms of his attacks against the Top Dawg star. If you can’t tell, the game of telephone is long here. As caught by joebuddenclips/fanpage on Twitter, the former coworkers had an interesting conversation.

Ak said he wants to squash Budden and Ross’ issues, whereas the former said he didn’t care about that and only had concern with Akademiks’ remarks about Joe. Ak understood where Budden is coming from, but also feels like he and Adin get “ganged up on” by folks outside of their audiences. Joe Budden responded by calling “his man” Akademiks and felt like Ak didn’t defend him properly.

Then, DJ Akademiks said he understands the love that’s there even in critical moments, and Budden just wants Ak to show that love more clearly and consistently. If he does that, then he’s happy. Akademiks said he relates to Adin Ross’ situation as a maligned younger content creator against “old heads” and said that threats of violence against Ross have exacerbated those rifts. Akademiks finished by throwing his support behind Joe and giving him his props, understanding his character and his best interests even when he’s critical of Ak. “You’ll never see a world where it’s Akademiks versus Joe Budden,” Akademiks remarked.

Joe Budden & DJ Akademiks’ Relationship

For those somehow unaware, Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks were both hosts on Complex‘s “Everyday Struggle” show, one of the defining hip-hop media pieces of the 2010s whether you loved it or hated it. It was basically the representation of the old-head/new-head rift of the SoundCloud era and laid the foundation (for better or worse) for hip-hop media today.

As for Joe Budden’s beef with Adin Ross, we’ll see if that gets another update. Even with DJ Akademiks wanting to squash things, it’s not looking promising.

Fetty Wap boasts some of the biggest pop rap hits of the 2010s, a legacy that prison time sadly cut short. However, now that he’s out of jail, he recently hinted at what he wants his career direction to be moving forward during an interview with The Breakfast Club.

First, Wap reflected on the things he went through in his personal life throughout his career, and how he told his story through his music. Loren LoRosa asked him whether or not he’s going to chase a hit or talk about what he’s lived through.

“Honestly, I don’t feel like that’s important,” Fetty Wap answered, as caught by 2Cool2Blog on Twitter. “I did my time. It’s a lot of rappers that went to jail – I mean, I hate to say it like that – that came home. If they chose to talk about their jail s**t, that’s them. Me, I did my time with the guys and then, they all, ‘Leave this s**t behind you. When you walk out, leave it here. We trying to see you on TV.’ In jail, it’s three things that you don’t turn the TV [off] from: sports, news, Love & Hip Hop. […] ‘We want to see you on TV, we trying to hear you on the radio. In 20 days, I want to hear something new on the computer.’ That’s the type of motivation I was having. So to come home and to talk about that s**t, it’s pointless. I did my time in there. […] [My writing] will change, I guess. It’s always going to change, especially when you’re trying to be creative. I just feel like I appreciate music more.”

How Long Was Fetty Wap In Jail For?

For those unaware, Fetty Wap was in jail for three years serving a six-year sentence for drug trafficking. It’s unclear exactly why his release date became sooner than expected, but nonetheless, fans are happy.

Fetty Wap’s close circle is reacting as well, and he linked up with Max B and French Montana shortly after his release. We will see what his next musical steps are, if any, and what developments come next in his post-prison life.

Sadly, they are really worried for him again.

The post Kodak Black Has Fans Very Worried After Concerning Livestream appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Kodak Black still has an incredibly passionate fan base well over a decade into his career. The Pampano Beach, Florida native has earned that by dropping great music and projects during his tenure. But at times, the rapper has left his supporters worried sick for him, especially throughout the 2020s.

His bizarre comments and behavior online have kept them on their toes. A lot his antics are sadly tied to his addictions to hard drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, any time they speak up and express how distressed they are it usually leads to Kodak getting angry. It’s created a tough dynamic as his long-time listeners just want to see him stay healthy and happy.

But Black isn’t making things any easier for them as Live Bitez has caught wind of a concerning livestream the rapper hosted.

In the handful of clips above, he’s slurring his words, making it nearly impossible to understand what he’s saying. Fans are suspecting he was snorting cocaine after one viewer in particular noticed something white around his nose and upper lip.

However, Kodak denies doing anything of the sort as he checks his face to see if there’s anything there. It’s hard to tell if he’s joking around and actually did ingest some hard substance or if he’s just totally gone in the clip. Either way, fans are wishing him the best in the comments.

What’s Going On Between Kodak Black & Boosie Badazz?

“I really hope he gets the help he needs [teary eye emoji broken heart emoji],” one fan writes. Another adds, “Can’t stand to see him like this smh [face palming emoji].” A third harshly but lovingly writes, “Someone save this drug addict it’s not even funny it’s sad.”

Unfortunately, things aren’t much better elsewhere for Kodak. He’s recently rekindled his long-running beef with Boosie Badazz as of Wednesday (Jan. 7) with a new single. “Christmas Eve,” which he dropped on his YouTube, hears him call the Louisiana native a bitter, non-OG, who can’t stand to see his success.

Badazz responded on his X with a fiery and extensive tweet calling it “weak” and him a “crackhead.”

Stefon Diggs Gets Assault Arraignment Pushed Back Until After The Super Bowl https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/969903-stefon-diggs-assault-arraignment-pushed-back-super-bowl-nfl-news Fri, 09 Jan 2026 21:30:28 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=969903 Stefon Diggs is being accused by a former private chef of felony strangulation or suffocation, charges which appeared weeks ago.

The post Stefon Diggs Gets Assault Arraignment Pushed Back Until After The Super Bowl appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Stefon Diggs’ assault charges over an alleged altercation with his former private chef did not derail his New England Patriots. The NFL player and his team are still first in the American Football Conference’s (AFC) East division, and his legal troubles will now wait a little longer.

His court date for his arraignment was originally going to take place on January 23, just two days before the AFC Championship game. Now, according to TMZ Sports, the court pushed it back to February 13, which is five days after the Super Bowl. If the Patriots do make it to the very end of the season, this means that Diggs will be able to play, celebrate if they win, recalibrate if they lose, and head into court with a more fresh and less encumbered mindset.

His next NFL matchup is with the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card Round, which will take place on Sunday (January 11). With a strong season so far, it seems like the sky’s the limit once again for the Patriots. But Stefon Diggs’ highly publicized case will follow.

For those unaware, Stefon Diggs’ former private chef accused him of physically assaulting her on December 2 during a dispute over monetary compensation.
