Now, according to NewsNation, Mark is chiming in on Diddy’s appeal to get an immediate prison release. Per the lawyer, this might not be as hair-brained of an idea as prosecutors are arguing.

“I think there’s a potential there,” he expressed. “Remember, when he was convicted of these two Mann Act violations… He won against the counts that carried a mandatory life sentence and would have basically forfeited his entire fortune. So he rolled the dice and won, and then he was enhanced in his sentence by the very conduct he was acquitted of. I think that’s fundamentally unfair. In fact, if we want to talk about fairness, I think the prosecution should be penalized for overcharging him in the first place, and he should have been immediately released. That’s just me. I have great affection, and I think that’s the just result.”

Diddy’s Appeal

For those unaware, Diddy’s requesting an early release over accusations that Judge Arun Subramanian’s sentence was unfair. His lawyers seek either a full reversal of his conviction or a reduction of his prison sentence, plus his immediate release in either case. Their argument is that Judge Subramanian acted like a “13th juror” and unrightfully influenced the jury’s verdict by bringing up evidence related to Combs’ acquitted charges as justifications for a harsher punishment for his convictions.

We will see whether or not the court responds to this sooner rather than later. During this waiting process, Diddy was able to see family this Christmas, as his son Justin Combs reportedly paid him a visit.

If the appeals court agrees with the defense’s arguments, maybe he will see even more family sooner than he thought. In any case, we’re sure Mark Geragos will be there to opine.

The reason this is an “alleged” reaction, though, is because there’s no way to know for sure if his Instagram Story post this weekend that DJ Akademiks caught on IG is in direct reference to the former couple. “A lot of things ya thought I did wrong gon age like [wine],” Tjay shared.

Lil Tjay’s referenced Kai Cenat and Gigi Alayah’s relationship before. He dropped the “diss track” “Been Had Gigi,” which doesn’t really contain any direct shots. But more relevantly, as caught by @clippedszn on Twitter, Tjay allegedly alluded to cheating allegations concerning Gigi Alayah on social media.

Take all of this with a grain of salt, though. There are a lot of reactions and accusations flying around right now, none of which have been confirmed.

Gigi already denied the rumors that she cheated on the streamer with NBA YoungBoy. She didn’t mention YB outright, and it’s unclear if her message was fully intended towards Kai. Nevertheless, fans ran with that cheating narrative despite multiple sources (like Akademiks, whom folks accused of originating the rumor) denying it.

“I left, now you wanna get on the internet and rush to paint a false narrative about me off a FAKE twitter post is insane,” Alayah shared on her IG Story this weekend. “I’ve never cheated on him, and YOU know that. I have never dealt with that man… play that sympathetic role somewhere else, pls.”

Meanwhile, Lil Tjay and Kai Cenat’s beef is one-sided. Tjay presumably thinks that Cenat doesn’t like him due to his feud with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and called streamers like him exploitative. On the other hand, the Bronx content creator doesn’t understand what all the animosity is really about. Hopefully we get some clarity on all of this from the former couple soon.

Afterwards, this went viral on social media pages and led to lots of speculation. The California rapper took to Twitter to add insult to Cenat’s emotional injury. “Kai cenat a cry baby,” he wrote. “Act funny with everybody he came up with an wonder y he got mental health problems. Stop choosing the fame over real relationships and you n***as will be okay. Stop letting fame change you. You’ll never like what you become! […] I’ll never switch up on the people I started with I’m from school yard crip not Hollywood. […] You see me you gone see them every time Dhs.”

Oddly enough, Blue doesn’t really make specific reference to what happened between Kai Cenat and Gigi Alayah. Instead, he criticized alleged faulty loyalties impacted by fame without really connecting it to the context that folks are talking about today. Maybe this is a case of unintended timing making a message seem like it’s about something else entirely.

Nevertheless, Gigi responded to Kai’s breakup announcement by shutting down the media’s cheating allegations and also seemingly taking aim at the streamer. “I left, now you wanna get on the internet and rush to paint a false narrative about me off a FAKE twitter post is insane,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “I’ve never cheated on him, and YOU know that. I have never dealt with that man… play that sympathetic role somewhere else, pls.”

It’s unclear what Alayah wanted to exactly say or who she was addressing, but this will continue to develop. Meanwhile, Blueface is dealing with his own romantic drama.

@zsneakerheadz reports that the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Muslin/Shy Pink” will be released in the summer of 2026.

The “Muslin/Shy Pink” colorway represents a difference from Travis Scott’s typically darker, earth-tone palettes. This softer approach demonstrates the Houston rapper’s evolving design while maintaining the signature details that make his collaborations instantly recognizable.

The combination of cream muslin tones with subtle pink accents creates a vintage aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. Travis Scott’s Jordan collaborations have consistently dominated the sneaker market, with previous releases like the “Mocha” and “Reverse Mocha” becoming instant grails.

His signature backwards Swoosh and unique material selections have redefined what collaborative sneakers can achieve, blending streetwear sensibilities with premium craftsmanship. Expected to drop during summer 2026, this release will likely follow Jordan Brand’s typical limited distribution strategy, making it one of the season’s best drops.

Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Retail Price

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Muslin/Shy Pink” features premium cream leather across the base and overlays. A soft pink Swoosh provides gentle contrast against the neutral foundation.

The signature backwards Swoosh design is subtly visible in the construction. Pink accents extend to the outsole, creating cohesive color distribution throughout the shoe.

Cream laces complement the upper’s vintage aesthetic perfectly. The heel displays pink Nike branding with Travis Scott’s signature details. White leather toe boxes feature traditional perforations for breathability.

The aged cream tones give this collaboration a worn-in, retro feel that sets it apart from standard Jordan releases, while the pink elements add an unexpected feminine touch to Travis Scott’s typically rugged design language. Also the retail price of the sneakers will be $155 when they drop.

During this Vlad interview, the radio host explained that he doesn’t have any personal issues with Akademiks, even recalling when they linked up at an NBA YoungBoy concert. But during that show, the true crux of their disagreement revealed itself: Ak was surprised that he was tapped in with the youth.

DJ Akademiks’ Maino Beef

From there, Maino went on to blast DJ Akademiks for criticizing older MCs’ ability to not just evolve with the times, but continue to aesthetically and culturally enjoy the same things that they helped influence. He made the argument that fashion and style aren’t practical decisions. Therefore, folks shouldn’t be so quick to disrespect older generations just because they have more years of experience. We’ll see if Ak claps back in any way.

However, elsewhere, Maino has more beef to handle. The rest of the Let’s Rap About It crew, which includes the aforementioned Fabolous as well as Jim Jones and Dave East, recently got a possible warning from 50 Cent… That is, if Fif truly intended his vague social media message for them and not for his many general haters.

“Let’s toast to success, health, and prosperity. I’m planning my new year. When I’m done, I’ll come out to play. You know everyone who plays with me wishes they didn’t in the end,” the G-Unit mogul shared online.

For those unaware, following Maino and others’ criticisms of 50 Cent for executive producing the Netflix Diddy docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, the two camps quickly got into it. Let’s Rap About It even dropped a freestyle dissing 50 across four verses and four different instrumentals of his, with Fab being the most notably direct example. Much like the DJ Akademiks rift, this is about conflicting content and artistic philosophies rather than tension.

More specifically, fans are wondering whether or not this album announcement refers to a completely different LP or if Ye still has his sights set on BULLY. After all, the Spotify pre-save link for it is still active. It’s scheduled to come out on January 30 at press time. But since this project has been delayed time and time again already, fans really don’t know what to think.

On the other hand, folks online have also commented on Kanye’s body language in this Deon Cole clip. They brought up conspiracy theories and presumptuous speculation about him being on heavy medication. But that’s neither here nor there. At least, when it comes to new music rumors. Hopefully he’s doing well and fans are just overzealous with their concern, as those situations can be not just difficult, but also scary.

Even Deon Cole took note of Ye’s demeanor during their interaction. “Did you have a good time tonight?” he asked. “Did you laugh? Like, not no fake laugh, like, for real. You’re not going to give me no sympathy laugh, busting the f**k up.”

We will find out soon enough whether this next album will still be BULLY or if it ends up being another Kanye West rollout shift. He might have more mythical grails in his catalog than some artists’ entire run of great records.

Still, if there’s one thing that recent developments and appearances have taught us, it’s that Kanye West is keeping things low-key these days. Whether it’s bundled-up dates with his wife Bianca Censori, apologies for his antisemitism, or chill nights like this Deon Cole show… We’ll see what all of this will lead up to. Given Ye’s track record, it will definitely be very interesting, to say the least.

“I’m single I will never be in another relationship again,” the streamer wrote on his social media platforms, sparking a frenzy. Cheating allegations against Alayah surfaced and resurfaced online, particularly surrounding NBA YoungBoy. In fact, fake posts circled around naming DJ Akademiks as the source, and he later denied both the veracity of the rumor and the notion that he started it on his livestream.

At around this time, Gigi hopped on her Instagram Story the same day to share part of her side of the story. “I left, now you wanna get on the internet and rush to paint a false narrative about me off a FAKE twitter post is insane,” she wrote. “I’ve never cheated on him, and YOU know that. I have never dealt with that man… play that sympathetic role somewhere else, pls.”

Did Kai Cenat Get Cheated On?

It’s still very unclear exactly who she’s talking about here. Maybe it’s Kai Cenat himself or the people spreading false rumors around, but he doesn’t seem to have insinuated cheating allegations in the past. Perhaps what Gigi is taking issue with is the immediate sympathy card play online.

As for how the NBA YoungBoy rumors surfaced, it’s hard to tell. Akademiks has denied that he had anything to do with it, but fans are still running with it online. There are also some alleged reaction clips of Kai and Gigi regarding this situation floating around, but they have either been debunked as old and out-of-context clips or haven’t gotten any official confirmation as responses.

In any case, it seems like the former couple is now at odds, and they have to deal with these false narratives now. We’ll see if they publicly address this soon or if they keep things private for now. It’s quite the mess…

For those unaware, the Let’s Rap About It podcast hosts dropped a new freestyle this week that seemed to take aim at the G-Unit mogul. Not only did they use his instrumentals and reference him at various points in their verses, but they also named the whole thing “Squatter’s Rights,” a cheeky jab at the accusatory insults that 50 has thrown at them.

But in a new social media post shared across his platforms, Fif suggested that he won’t be investing in negative energy before 2025 is out and 2026 is in. However, a storm is definitely coming.

“Let’s toast to success, health, and prosperity. I’m planning my new year. When I’m done, I’ll come out to play. You know everyone who plays with me wishes they didn’t in the end,” he captioned his post. The picture is an edit of the Queens rapper posing as Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance as The Great Gatsby, specifically that one popularized image of a toast at a party.

50 Cent’s Beef

Still, though, folks should take this with a grain of salt. Maybe it’s a subliminal message, but the more likely explanation is that he just wanted to troll his haters generally.

Elsewhere, 50 Cent’s beef with these folks has been mutually beneficial, or at least, that’s how Maino called it as a solid business move. As for Dave East, Jim Jones, and Fabolous, they have different levels of beef with him. So it’s hard to really predict what will happen next here.

We’ll see whether or not 50 Cent responds in full or if the Let’s Rap About It crew decides to shoot again before they get a reply. This will probably all stay on social media, though, not in the booth anytime soon.

Instead, it landed as a subtle nod to Jordan Brand’s ongoing push toward modern performance silhouettes that still respect the past. The name itself hints at the bridge it’s trying to build, blending elements of the Air Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 23 into something new without feeling forced.

At first glance, the 4023 keeps things restrained. The all-black upper gives the shoe a serious, almost stealth-like presence, while the stitched side panel detailing adds depth without shouting for attention.

There’s a clear emphasis on texture and shape here, with smooth and matte finishes working together rather than competing. Red stitching along the midfoot adds just enough contrast to break up the darkness and remind you this is still a Jordan at heart.

The translucent outsole and sculpted midsole keep the shoe grounded in today’s basketball aesthetic, even if most pairs will never see a court. Because it was limited to a single event and retailer, the Air Jordan 4023 feels more like a collector’s piece than a traditional release.

Air Jordan 4023 Release

The sneaker features a sleek black upper with a smooth, almost suede-like finish across the toe and collar. A stitched geometric pattern runs along the side panel, adding texture without overpowering the design.

Subtle red stitching lines the midfoot, creating contrast against the dark base. The tongue appears padded and minimal, with tonal branding keeping things understated.

The midsole is sculpted and modern, blending into a translucent outsole that gives the shoe a performance edge. Everything feels streamlined and purposeful.

There are no loud colors or oversized logos here. The overall look is clean, serious, and built around shape and material rather than flash.
