One of the best signature basketball shoes on the market right now is the Adidas Trae Young 3. Overall, Young is a phenomenal talent in the league so it makes sense that he would have his own signature. So far, the Trae Young series has proven to be a success for Adidas. While it has been hard to keep up with the likes of Nike and Jordan Brand, Young has a big enough fanbase to sustain the line. Furthermore, the brand has done a great job of delivering a plethora of dope colorways to the table.
The basketball season is currently in full swing, which means hoopers might be looking to upgrade in the middle of their seasons. Consequently, it only makes sense that the brands would continue to bring out some new colorways. Well, that is very much true of the Adidas Trae Young 3. Below, you can find official images for the new “White/Red” color scheme. While it isn’t much of a name, it really does not need one. After all, these two colors have always gone together extremely well.
Firstly, the shoe has a white base thanks to the chunky midsole and some of the upper. However, the second part kicks in with a heavy dose of red that has some spotted aesthetics that bleed into the white. Subsequently, we get black on the tongue, as well as the back heel. It is a great-looking shoe that will definitely help you stand out.

According to Sneaker Bar Detroit, the Adidas Trae Young 3 in the white and red color scheme will drop on February 1st. Moreover, the shoe is going to come with a $140 USD price tag.

Outside of his Netflix show, Staples also recently teased having plans to release new music in 2024. Sharing a text message from a friend asking if he’s hungry while at the studio, Staples announced the plan in the caption of an Instagram post. He hasn’t dropped an album since Ramona Park Broke My Heart in 2022. Be on the lookout for further updates on the new show on HotNewHipHop.
Jason Kelce used the latest episode of his New Heights podcast to clarify reports that he is retiring from the NFL. “I just don’t think you’re in a position after a game like that to really make that decision. There’s too much emotion in the moment. There’s too much going down in the moment to really fully grasp that decision. It’s just something that I think, when it’s time to officially announce what’s happening in the future, it’ll be done in a way that’s definitive and pays respect to a lot of people and individuals that have meant a lot to me and what has led to the career I’ve had,” Kelce told his brother.
After Kelce’s Eagles were dumped out of the playoffs by the Buccaneers, reports emerged that Kelce had told his teammates he would be retiring. Kelce is 36 and has played in Philly since the Eagles drafted him in 2011. Kelce, a six-time All-Pro center, is widely seen as a future Hall of Famer. The four other six-time All-Pro centers are all Hall of Famers. Kelce returned to the Eagles for 2023 on a one-year contract, which officially expires in March.
Kelce has been the Eagles’ starting center since they drafted him in the sixth round of the 2011 Draft. However, he began his football career as a walk-on running back at the University of Cincinnati. Later, he would transition to the offensive line during his redshirted freshman year. After starting 38 games for the Bearcats, he was seen as a fourth-round or later prospect due to a lack of size.
However, he has become an era-defining center for Philadelphia. He has appeared in, and started, 193 games for the Eagles, protecting everyone from Micheal Vick to Carson Wentz to Jalen Hurts. Overall, Kelce has been the battery mate of eight starting QBs for the Eagles. Additionally, he has made two Super Bowls, including a win at Super Bowl LII. Kelce’s retirement becomes yet another storyline for NFL fans to follow during the offseason.
Joey Bada$$ will always be one of those artists that so many people want to hear from. That is because he is a top-tier writer, picks great beats, and brings so much passion to what he creates. Additionally, he is always trying new things. That can be a double-edged sword for a lot of people, however. Change can be a scary thing, even for the artist. But, Joey is embracing that challenge with his upcoming single. Yes, the 28-year-old is finally coming out with some new solo material.
According to numerous sources, including AllHipHop, Joey is teaming up with the very underrated KayCyy for “Passports & Suitcases.” It is coming this Friday, January 19, coincidentally one day before the New York spitter’s birthday. He teased the song and it found him going in his melodic bag. This is not something entirely out of the blue, but he is using more auto-tune on it. While it sounds like a vibe, fans are on the fence about it.
A majority of Joey’s fans are hardcore hip-hop heads and they despise when he strays away from that. One person writes, “Yeah but auto-tune is always going to be s*** no matter how old you get.” Another goes, “[The f***] is happening!? Where [the f***] is Joey?! Where’s the Hip-Hop?” Joey Bada$$ saw all of the negativity and nicely put down the haters. “Feels good to be allowed to grow. I never needed permission but thanks anyway guys. New sounds all ‘24…. Whether you like it or not [winky face emoji].”
What are your thoughts on this snippet from Joey Bada$$’s upcoming single with KayCyy “Passports & Suitcases?” Do you like it when he goes into his melodic bag, why or why not? Are fans being too critical of the direction that he is going in? Will Joey drop an album this year? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Tekashi 6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez, is a controversial figure in the hip-hop world, with a heap of cases to his name. Known for his colorful appearance, and controversial character, the rapper has been involved in numerous legal troubles. From his early days in the music industry to his rise to fame and subsequent fall, Tekashi 6ix9ine, as well as his legal cases, have been a constant source of media attention. Here, we’ll take a look at some of his biggest legal problems.
In January 2018, 6ix9ine got into an altercation with a fan in Houston, Texas. This occurred after the fan recorded a video of him walking through the Galleria Mall. According to the police report, the rapper confronted the 16-year-old fan and grabbed him by the neck. It was also reported that he caused “minor scratch marks and discomfort.” The situation escalated when the rapper and his entourage insisted that the fan delete the video. A few months later, 6ix9ine was charged with a misdemeanor assault in Harris County, Texas.
5. Assault Of A Police Officer
Barely two weeks after he was charged with assault, Tekashi 6ix9ine was involved in yet another of his most infamous assault cases. This occurred after he was parked in front of a fire hydrant in Brooklyn. When the rapper wasn’t able to produce identification, the police arrested him for driving without a license. However, an additional charge was filed when he seized an officer by the hand as his handcuffs were being removed. The artist subsequently faced four additional misdemeanor charges related to the incident. These were: third-degree assault, third-degree attempted assault, third-degree menacing, and second-degree obstructing governmental administration.
In 2021, the rapper was sued by dancer Alexis Salaberrios after he allegedly hit her in the head using a bottle of champagne. The incident took place inside Gold Rush Cabaret in Miami. 6ix9ine had tried to hit someone else for calling him a rat but reportedly mistakenly hit the dancer. Salaberrios stated that the incident caused her a trip to the E.R., as well as multiple stitches on her head. In yet another one of his most notable assault cases, Tekashi 6ix9ine was ordered to pay $9.8 million to her. So far, the rapper has yet to pay but the judge has appointed a receiver to liquidate whatever is necessary to pay the money.
3. Fleeing After Committing Assault In The Dominican Republic
In October 2023, the rapper was arrested in the Dominican Republic. The arrest came after he tried to flee on a private jet following an alleged assault on two music producers. Tekashi 6ix9ine, alongside four other men, had allegedly come to the studio and attacked the two producers, making for one of the year’s biggest assault cases. One of the attacked producers reportedly needed surgery after he was left with a broken jaw. Soon after, the rapper was freed after he posted bail of $500,000. A restraining order has also been placed against him. Furthermore, he is required to take anger management classes.
In 2018, Tekashi 6ix9ine was involved in several legal cases. He particularly faced some serious charges related to racketeering and firearms offenses. The rapper was arrested in relation to his association with the Nine Trey Gansta Bloods. They were accused of involvement in various criminal activities, including armed robberies, shootings, and drug trafficking. Additionally, there was mention of a previously unreported armed robbery that reportedly took place a few months prior. 6ix9ine was facing a minimum of 32 years, and a maximum of life in prison. However, he cooperated with federal authorities, providing testimony against his former associates. In exchange for this, he received a reduced sentence of 24 months in prison.

Tekashi 6ix9ine received the biggest stain on his career after his sexual misconduct cases. Dating back to 2015, he pled guilty to the use of a child in a sexual performance. The charges stemmed from a video that surfaced online, depicting 6ix9ine, who was 18 at the time, behaving sexually suggestively with a 13-year-old girl. Another video showed the girl sitting naked on the laps of both 6ix9ine and another individual. In a third video, a man pours liquid on the girl’s breasts as she sits on 6ix9ine’s lap. These videos were initially uploaded to Instagram, with 6ix9ine re-sharing them on his own account. This incident set the stage for a pattern of legal cases that would follow Tekashi 6ix9ine throughout his career.
Netflix has released the first trailer for The Vince Staples Show, depicting a day in the life of the Long Beach rapper. Scenes from the show that it previews include a chase through the Del Amo Swap Meet, a greedy uncle asking for money at a picnic, and a confrontation with a water park mascot. Oh, and Vince gets recognized during a Dead Presidents-inspired bank robbery. The man lives a fascinating life.
The Vince Staples Show, which is billed for release on February 15, continues the series of slice-of-life vignettes from the original YouTube episodes, which find the “Magic” rapper caught up in all sorts of misadventures in and around his hometown. In the original episodes, a trip to the barbershop turns into a gang fight, while Vince seeks refuge and wisdom from his hero Ray J as his angry girlfriend seeks a confrontation.
The show initially debuted in 2019, and in 2022, Netflix announced its partnership with Staples to bring the show to the service. The delay might have been troublesome for some fans, but it did give Staples a chance to raise his public profile and hone his already quite sharp comedy chops. Since then, he’s released a pair of albums that hewed more closely to convention and put him on the Billboard charts, and appeared in a guest role on the Emmy-winning Abbott Elementary, making him more of a household name.
The Vince Staples Show will stream on Netflix on 2/15.
