New Hip Hop News

One of the best shoes of all time is the Air Jordan 1 High OG, and if you were to ask any random sneakerhead on the street, they would probably tell you the same thing. It is a shoe that has stood the test of time and there is no doubt that it will continue to make waves for decades to come. In fact, Jordan Brand has a ton of Jordan 1s planned for 2021, including a new “Handcrafted” model which is taking on a truly unique aesthetic.

In the new images below courtesy of @zsneakerheadz and @fxxkvlogvi, you can see that this shoe has a DIY feel with multiple muted colors. The colors in question are white, brown, black, burgundy, and brown. These tones come together to create an interesting look that has many fans split on whether or not they like them. Either way, Jordan Brand is taking risks which is definitely good to see.

For now, it is believed that this colorway will be hitting the market on December 19th of this year although this is still subject to change. Keep it locked to HNHH as we will continue to bring you news and updates from the sneaker world. In the meantime, give us your thoughts on this brand new offering, in the poll and comments below.

Former pornstar and long-documented Washington Wizards fan Mia Khalifa recently hit Instagram and Twitter to share some sad news with her nearly 30 million followers. A little after a month following the celebration of their two-year anniversary, Mia Khalifa and her husband, Los Angeles chef Robert Sandberg, have publicly announced that their marriage is over.

Both Mia and Robert have shared a touching graphic to their respective social media accounts that shows a picture of their shadows juxtaposed against a lengthy statement explaining their split.

“We can confidently say we gave it our all in making our marriage work, but after almost a year of therapy and efforts, we are walking away knowing we have a friend for life in each other, and that we truly tried,” the newly separated couple writes in their joint statement. “We will always love and respect each other because we know that not one isolated incident caused our split, but rather, a culmination of unresolvable, fundamental differences that no one can blame the other for.”

The statement continues, “We are closing this chapter with no regrets and both starting our own, separately, but connected through incredible family, friends, and love for our dogs. This has been long overdue, but we’re glad we took our time and gave it our all, and can walk away saying we tried our absolute hardest.

See Mia Khalifa’s formal announcement below, and since both the former adult actress and chef have disabled the comments on their respective posts, let us know your thoughts on their split in the comment section.

It is officially Rolling Loud season. This weekend marked the return of the Miami-based hip-hop festival which drew massive crowds and even bigger names.

Artists like Travis Scott, Lil Durk, and Lil Baby all hit the stage this weekend along with some budding new faces. Though the aforementioned rappers had no problem shutting down the festival, there were a few other acts who didn’t receive the same energy from the audience. 

Coi Leray hit the stage yesterday where she delivered a slew of her bangers including “Attachments” alongside her boyfriend, Pressa. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like the crowd was all that into what she had to offer. Coi became a trending topic on Twitter as people noticed the apparent “dead crowd” that was largely capturing video clips, rather than engaging with the artist. 

This isn’t the first time Coi went viral off of a live performance and she seemingly brushed off the comments this time around, as well. The rapper hit Twitter with a message to those out here supporting her. “Just wanna say thank you for all the love I get. I’m so loved by so many people it blocks out the hate. You love me I love you. Forever,” she wrote.

Coi addressed the derogatory comments in a subsequent tweet, writing, “It’s about over 100 artist who performed on that lineup and all people wanna do is eat up my cack. Lol. Gotta love this shit fr I got good problems.”

Peep her response below. 

Tekashi 6ix9ine has continued to keep up his trolling ways in an attempt to reproduce the type of viral content that helped put him on. Though it did work for a while, plenty of his adversaries have opted out of responding to 6ix9ine, even when he disrespects family members. Over the past few months, Tekashi 6ix9ine has continued to antagonize Meek Mill. Though Meek did play a significant role in their initial back-and-forth, the Philly rapper hasn’t said anything recently.

While most rappers are in Miami this weekend for Rolling Loud festivities, it looks like 6ix9ine was largely trying to catch a vibe. The rapper was spotted in the club this weekend where 21 Savage was performing. He was largely in the cut alongside his manager and a few others but fans caught footage of 6ix9ine vibing out. Despite his issues with Meek, it appears that 6ix9ine still can’t get enough of his verse on Nav’s “Tap.” Tekashi was singing along to Meek’s bars with a smile on his face.

Though 6ix9ine’s career has dwindled, it’s possible that we might see him jump into the recent trend of celebrity boxing matches. The rapper has been training and already received a challenge to enter the ring from Jake Paul. 

Check out the clip of Tekashi 6ix9ine below. 

Jake Paul has been a major player in the celebrity boxing match circuit, and now, it feels as though everyone wants a piece of the action. Lamar Odom and Aaron Carter recently took part in a boxing match about a month ago, and as you would expect, Odom won the match with relative ease. 

The most recent celebrity to step in the ring is none other than Blueface who went up against TikTok star Kane Trujillo in what proved to be a massive blowout. There was even some drama after the fight as a fan tried to attack Blueface. Of course, this did not end well for the young man as Blueface hit him with a few big punches.

One person who was not impressed with Blueface’s performance was none other than Jake Paul, who said that Blueface and 6ix9ine weren’t much of a draw because all they do is go to the studio and do drugs. These comments were pretty disparaging and when Blueface caught wind of them, he made sure to let his feelings be known.

“It’s funny that he says that being someone who came from the entertainment side to the boxing world,” Blueface said. “That’s real shallow of him to not view it that way. That’s like somebody else coming into the music industry rapping funny to everybody else and I’m bashing him too even though that’s how I came up. He’s a total clown for that. He looks like an idiot. I think he’s full of himself. He’s got about what? Two or three fights?”

Blueface certainly makes a good point here as Jake Paul has faced similar criticism from actual boxers. At the end of the day, Paul was a YouTuber first, and his credibility in boxing isn’t where it needs to be to make comments such as the ones he made against Blueface.

Much to his fanbase’s chagrin, Kanye West didn’t release his tenth studio album DONDA on Friday, July 23rd, and according to Justin LaBoy and Malik Yusef, the earliest that eager fans can expect to hear the highly anticipated record is August 6th.

In the meantime, fans have gotten far more Kanye West content than they can likely handle, as the controversial artist recently popped up at an Atlanta United FC match at Mercedes-Benz, and to make matters even more strange, Mr. West has been confirmed to be living in the enormous Atlanta stadium until he finishes DONDA.

Thanks to The Shade Room, a new clip has surfaced that adds a lot more context into Kanye West’s neverending album rollout and unorthodox living conditions. The video shows Ye jamming out to an upbeat song from DONDA, and from the looks of the footage, the veteran artist has further switched up his outfit from Thursday night’s listening event and set up his temporary studio in one of the locker rooms at the stadium.

Luckily, Atlanta United FC is currently embarking on a three-game road stretch following its game on Saturday, so Kanye won’t have to worry about moving over any of his expensive speakers for Josef Martínez and the gang until August 15. From what Ye’s close collaborators have been saying, DONDA should definitely be out by then, but honestly, the Hip-Hop community will just have to wait and see what happens.
