As caught by XXL on Instagram, footage reportedly surfaced yesterday (Friday, June 5) of Big at an airport greeting friends and family who were there to welcome him back from jail. Beyond that, though, no other public statements, videos, or sightings have added to this development at press time. We will see if the Memphis rapper speaks out in any way soon or if anyone else involved in this case addresses this recent update.

Speaking of which, Pooh Shiesty’s father recently experienced a similar fate. Last week, authorities released Lontrell Williams Sr. on bond, yet his son remains in custody. It’s still unclear if he will eventually succeed in his own attempts to secure bail.

Big30, Pooh, Williams Sr., and six other men are waiting for their trial for the alleged Dallas recording studio incident back in January.

Pooh Shiesty and Big30’s trial for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane will being on July 6 of this year, if everything goes according to the current schedule at press time. By the time the final pretrial conference hearing takes place on July 1, all defendants must have received all evidence from their prosecutors.

For those unaware, federal authorities are accusing the codefendants of meeting with Guwop and his associates under false pretenses of a business meeting at a Dallas studio. The alleged perpetrators allegedly blocked the exit from the studio, forced Gucci to release Pooh from his 1017 Records contract, and stole various items from him.

Gucci Mane has caught controversy for his response, which emerged as the “Crash Dummy” diss track. Snitching debates and other discussions emerged, and they will likely persist for a long time.

Amid all this chaos, at least Big30 can await trial from outside of prison. We will see if any of his codefendants find similar success.

As caught by DJ Akademiks TV on Instagram, the commentator claimed Hov’s targets in the freestyle don’t actually care about the disses. These include Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Kanye West, as most other targets did actually respond to the shots. Ak also suggested the general public’s reception to the freestyle hasn’t been exactly glowing.

“He needs another move to validate his next move,” Akademiks posited. “They all look at his move as not worthy enough… He’s not getting the best response. ‘Not bad, he had to get his s**t off.’ Nothing was like, ‘Oh my God, this changes s**t.’ […] Jay was hinging on it being such a dynamite that everybody had to respond. His only response is from Oschino and also Dame Dash.

“He’s not getting the Ye response… He’s not even getting the Tory [Lanez] response and Tory got nothing but time,” he continued. “And he definitely ain’t getting a Drake response right now. You looking like a dog barking at the moon… People start questioning if your power or your voice hits the same… He wanted Nicki Minaj to start talking about his kids again, threatening him. Nicki has not responded… Perhaps your voice just isn’t that thing that makes the needle move no more.”

Who Responded To Jay-Z?

In addition to Dame Dash and Oschino clapping back, another response to Jay-Z came from Jaguar Wright, who was a former affiliate of The Roots. She blasted Questlove for his loyalty to the Roc Nation mogul despite Jay allegedly minimizing the career of Black Thought, and also questioned why Jay hasn’t said anything about Diddy.

But as far as the blockbuster names like the Young Money alumni and Ye, there hasn’t been a peep at press time. We’ll see if that changes or if DJ Akademiks is right. Even then, fans will debate about what a hypothetical lack of response would even mean.

Virgil van Dijk, Frenkie de Jong, and other starters were all spotted in the pieces. The gear generated significant attention online once photos from the match started circulating.

The collection features two main pieces visible in the photos. One is a pre-match jersey with a black base and an orange and gold pattern across the front.

The other is a zip-up hooded jacket with a navy blue base and the same orange and gold pattern throughout. Both pieces carry the Dutch national team badge and Patta branding alongside the Nike logo.

The pattern itself features lions, chains, and other decorative graphics printed across the fabric. It is a bold look compared to most national team pre-match gear. Patta is a Dutch streetwear brand based in Amsterdam, so the collaboration connects directly to the team’s home country. The partnership between a local brand and the national team adds a cultural element to the collection beyond just the design.

Nike has been releasing a series of national team collaborations ahead of the World Cup. The Netherlands Patta collection is one of the more visually distinct kits to come out of that broader effort so far.

Netherlands Nike x Patta

Patta started as a sneaker store in Amsterdam before growing into a full streetwear brand with a strong following in Europe and beyond. The brand has collaborated with Nike multiple times over the years across footwear and apparel.

Partnering with the Dutch national team for a World Cup pre-match kit is one of the more high-profile projects in Patta’s history. The collection uses the Netherlands’ traditional orange color alongside navy blue and gold, which gives it a richer palette than the standard all-orange look associated with Dutch football.

The lion graphic on the jacket connects to the Dutch national crest, which adds a layer of meaning to the pattern beyond pure decoration. Pre-match gear like this does not get worn during actual games, but it gets significant visibility during warmups and player arrivals before kickoff.

Quotable Lyrics from Bruddas

My jeans Chrome, they not Purple, fifty-five a pint, I pourin’ syrup up
She don’t wanna stay, I won’t make her, the ho come home, she ain’t faithful
I took her phone and NDA’d her, even my cologne is non disclosure
Every young n***a I’m ridin’ with got a box, shoulda rented a U-Haul truck

The collection leans into a dark color palette with red accents throughout. Black dominates most of the footwear and bag options, with Louboutin’s signature red showing up in the lining, branding, and select full-red styles.

The pieces visible in the images circulating online reflect a mix of formal and streetwear influences. Loafers, derbies, and sneakers also appear in the lineup alongside a range of bags.

Smith first showed an early version of the collection at Paris Fashion Week in January. The full release this week also gives a more complete picture of what he has put together for the brand. A campaign shot inside a chateau accompanies the collection and features a group of people styled in pieces from the line.

Now, to mark the launch, Smith is hosting events this month in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Paris, and London. Overall the collection represents his most significant fashion project to date and his first full season running a luxury brand.

Jaden Smith’s Christian Louboutin Collection

Smith’s appointment at Christian Louboutin came as a surprise to many in the fashion industry when it was announced in 2025. He was known as a musician and actor before taking on the role.

The Paris Fashion Week preview in January was an early look at his direction for the brand, and the response from fashion media was mixed. Some praised the creative approach while others were more skeptical.

Further, the full collection released this week also gives a clearer sense of where he is taking the brand. The pieces span a range of categories beyond just footwear, which signals that his role extends well beyond shoe design.

Red remains a consistent thread throughout the collection, which keeps it connected to what Christian Louboutin is already known for. Overall the campaign really ties everything together visually.

According to the complaint, the outstanding balance stems from a series of invoices and agreements that the plaintiffs say were acknowledged by entities connected to the Grammy-winning rapper but remain unpaid. It’s reported that Six K and Archibald claim “each invoice is supported by a deal memo that was acknowledged by the related Stallion entity via email” for “$53,800, and includes the cost of prep days, assistants and three gowns.” Yet, Megan Thee Stallion has pushed back against the allegations.

Megan Thee Stallion Denies The Allegations

At the center of the dispute are claims that repeated attempts to collect payment failed to produce a resolution. Archibald and Six K allege the debt includes not only styling fees but costs associated with assistants, preparation work, garments, and outside vendors involved in executing high-profile appearances. Megan, however, is strongly disputing the allegations. In a statement addressing the lawsuit, the rapper said her financial team conducted an internal review.

“My finance team conducted a comprehensive audit of Eric Archibald’s wardrobe expenses and uncovered fraudulent invoices, unsupported charges, and styling shipments tied to addresses that could not be verified,” the statement reads, according to PEOPLE. “Those findings raised serious concerns about the legitimacy of expenses that we repeatedly tried to resolve privately with Eric’s team. Rather than address the issues from the audit, Eric and his team chose to file a lawsuit. The facts are on our side, and I won’t be coerced into paying charges that can’t be substantiated.”

We’ll keep you updated on how this lawsuit unfolds.

In court filings, reported by Variety, M.I.A. and her team allege: “Here is the truth. M.I.A. was terminated to generate publicity for the Tour, which has struggled with ticket sales… She was contractually allowed to say whatever she wanted on stage. M.I.A. now holds Kid Cudi accountable for his bad faith destruction of her contractual rights, business opportunities, and reputation.”

M.I.A. Shares How She Found Out She Was Off The Tour

In an interview with Popcast, M.I.A. said that Cudi didn’t even let her know there was a problem.

“He didn’t call me. He didn’t talk to my crew,” she said. “I go to talk to him and he didn’t see me. Yeah, it was kind of like, crazy. And then my son is like, ‘Hey, I heard you’re not on the tour.’ And I’m waking up the next morning. That’s how I found out. From a different state. My son called me from school, and he’s like, ‘Oh, I guess you’re coming home.'” She said she had no idea what he was referring to. “And he sent me the post [from Kid Cudi].”

“I think that Cudi fans didn’t know my songs. I was skipping through them, but really, I was just sort of playing them ten seconds each. But, when I got to ‘Illygirl,’ which is my favorite song, by the way, I was like, ‘Oh, I can’t do that, but we can do ‘Teqkilla,’ and I played ‘Teqkilla,’ but I think people thought we can’t do ‘Illygirl’… but the whole song’s chorus is saying I’m illegal.”

M.I.A. added that she understood the backlash, but she disagreed with the perspective that she was simply some MAGA artist pushing an agenda. “That is what the media wrote as what’s going on. That was the perception that was generated, and fanned, and algorithimized to cement a narrative. Because the narrative is that of a brown woman who is an immigrant. And no matter what Americans think about that, they can never remove that.”

Check out the clip of M.I.A. speaking on her rift with Kid Cudi below.

To help hype his releases, YG caught up with DJ Hed to talk about his evolution. “The goal of this album, I’m coming for my respect,” said YG. “I know I did it to myself, so I gotta get this sh*t back up out the mud. So, as a songwriter, as an artist, I’m coming for respect. I’m doing all—I ain’t never got a BET Award nomination…for nothing. Not the BET Hip Hop Awards, I think I got one of those for “My N*gga” back in the day, but…for nothing, bro.” He said in his “whole 10 years” he’s “been in the game,” he hasn’t been recognized by the major award ceremonies. “I always felt some type of way.”

YG Takes Wisdom From Kendrick Lamar

Fellow rapper and Compton star Kendrick Lamar offered YG a bit of advice on navigating his trajectory. “I was talking to Dot, I’m playing him the album and sh*t,” said YG. “I’m telling him about what I was doing, like putting out albums just to get out the deal ’cause my deal was f*cked up… He was like, ‘Bro, you ain’t never supposed to do that. Music cannot—you gotta give it your all every time.'”

YG said he admitted he “f*cked up” and now he’s “coming for everything.” Watch DJ Hed chop it up with YG below.
