Rockstar Games has been ramping up the marketing all throughout Miami. It makes sense; the game is set in Vice City, which is a fictional version of the Florida city.

Just two days after the release of the game, Rockstar will be hosting its very own music festival. It is appropriately called Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival. The lineup is absolutely star-studded, with Cardi B, Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black, and Metro Boomin performing. There are also others performers from the soundtrack on the bill.

Ultimately, this is going to be a celebration of the game’s release. That said, the enthusiasm at the event is all going to depend on whether or not GTA VI is actually the game that fans were hoping for.

Where Is The Festival Taking Place?

The festival is going to be taking place on Saturday, November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami. At this time, only those 17 and older are allowed to attend the event. Simply put, they do not want kids in the crowd for this. It makes sense when you consider how GTA VI is rated M for Mature.

How To Cop Tickets?

If you want to buy tickets for this event, you must first be selected as part of a lottery. You can sign up for the lottery at the link right here. The lottery is officially open and will close on Tuesday, November 10 at 4:00 p.m. ET. The draw will take place on Tuesday, November 10 at 7:00 p.m. ET. From there, lottery winners can buy their tickets as of Wednesday, November 11 at 12 p.m. ET.

During a recent interview with Take Flight, Margera revealed he received a call from Travis Scott and Don Toliver, who wanted him to come to Norway. At the time, the Viva La Bam star was in Australia and told them it wasn’t possible. However, Toliver and Scott refused to take no for an answer. They told Margera how much they were willing to pay him, and that was all the motivation the skater needed.

Margera was also seen wearing a Nitrous Is Coming shirt, which suggests that his trip to Norway was a successful one. As the rollout for the album approaches, we could be seeing Margera in a music video very soon.

Additionally, with Travis Scott getting in on this action, one has to wonder what his role is in the album. Compared to previous Toliver projects, it seems as though Scott is getting hands-on.

When Is Don Toliver’s “Nitrous” Coming Out?

As it stands, Nitrous does not have a concrete release date. At numerous shows, Toliver has stated that the album is being worked on and coming soon. However, an actual date has not been given.

It’s ambitious to think the album is actually going to be released before the end of the year. Labels are shutting down before the Holiday season, which means some albums are going to be pushed to the start of 2027.

For now, there are still plenty of unknowns, and we will be sure to bring you the latest updates.

In typical Blueface fashion, he decided to give a breakdown of the situation over on Kick. This has been his livestreaming platform of choice over the past few months, and it has proven to be lucrative. Estimates put his weekly earnings in the six-figure range, which is impressive considering he only started a few months ago.

As for the situation with Skilla Baby, Blueface was completely and utterly confused by it. However, he did give his crew member some props for holding it down and not doing anything he may regret. While Blue acknowledges that he would have retaliated, he also appreciates the restraint shown. Regardless, it is still unclear why all of this happened.

What we do know is that it took place before Skilla Baby’s performance over the weekend. He was trying to get to the stage, and that is when the physical confrontation started. Skilla Baby himself has not commented on the situation.

Where Was Skilla Baby Performing On Saturday?

The altercation went down on Saturday, November 7. Skilla Baby was in Los Angeles for a performance at the Belasco. This was part of his The Price Of Fame Tour, which is supporting his album of the same name.

Tonight, Skilla Baby will be back on stage, although this time around, he is performing in Sacramento, California. Certainly, he will be looking for a relatively drama-free performance compared to a couple of days ago.

The “EYBL” pair is reportedly set for April 22nd, 2027, and the “DMV” pair is planned for June 11th, 2027.

The “EYBL” pair is a loud multicolor design with volt green, turquoise, orange, and black. It brings back the bright look of the 2013 original, which referenced Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League, the same league behind the Air Jordan 14 “EYBL” PE.

The “DMV” pair takes inspiration from mumbo sauce, a famous Washington, DC takeout sauce. It uses a bright red base with volt green and grey accents.

The style codes are JF8469-900 for “EYBL” and JF1123-600 for “DMV.” Pairs are expected through Nike and select retailers.

The KD 5 Elite was part of Nike Basketball’s Elite Series, which gave signature shoes special playoff upgrades. The original had Kevlar-reinforced Flywire cables, a foam tongue, and a caged Zoom Air unit.

It is still unclear if Nike will update the shoe with modern foam and Zoom Air. Nike has not announced the details officially. It follows the KD 6 “Texas” in Nike’s retro run, and it should please fans who love Durant’s early shoe.

Nike KD 5 Elite

Nike has been bringing back Durant’s older shoes for several years. The retro run started with the KD 3 and KD 4, and the KD 6 has been the big focus this year.

Fans have already seen the KD 6 “Aunt Pearl” and the KD 6 “Meteorology” return, and the KD 5 Elite looks like the next big model in line.

The DMV pair also honors Durant’s hometown. He grew up in Prince George’s County, Maryland, and he has often shown love to the area through his shoes.

A $190 price is higher than recent KD retros, but the Elite Series has always been premium. Overall, the KD 5 Elite return is an exciting one for fans of Durant’s early signature line.

Overall, the look stays very close to the original 1988 design. A black tumbled leather upper is expected, along with cement grey elephant print overlays and bright red accents.

The main differences are underneath. The golf version is built on a golf outsole, and Jordan Brand may tweak the foam for more comfort while walking the course. The style code is IU3188-001. Pairs are expected through Nike, Hibbett, and DSG.

This is not a normal retro return. Instead of another basketball version of the “Black Cement,” Jordan Brand is giving fans a version made for the course. It follows the spikeless Air Jordan 1 Low Golf “Chicago”, which brought another famous colorway to the same setting.

It also fits Michael Jordan’s long love of golf, which has shaped the Jordan Golf line for years. The shoe should work for golfers and sneaker fans alike. It looks like a classic, but it is built to be worn on grass.

The Air Jordan 3 is already having a busy stretch, with regional pairs like the Air Jordan 3 “Middle East” also on the calendar. Expect strong demand once pairs arrive.

Air Jordan 3 Golf “Black Cement”

The “Black Cement” 3 is one of the most important sneakers ever made. Tinker Hatfield designed the shoe in 1988, and it helped keep Michael Jordan with Nike.

This golf pair is also part of a bigger Jordan Golf push. The brand’s earlier ADG 3 used Air Jordan 4 details, and Jordan Brand has also launched a spiked Air Jordan 1 Low Golf as part of its Space Jam collection, which also includes the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” retro arriving in December.

The Air Jordan 3 has been all over the calendar this fall. It has been used for holiday pairs like the kids-only Air Jordan 3 “Santa” and the dark Air Jordan 3 “Not Nice”, and a Knicks version is also in December.

Overall, the Air Jordan 3 Golf is a clever idea. It lets golfers and collectors enjoy an icon in a new way.

The big theme this year is a see-through zippered shroud, and LeBron’s version might be the boldest. A green layer wraps over the upper, and it has an effect that shifts in the light.

Overall, the colors are black and electric green with touches of metallic silver. Silver appears on the Swoosh near the heel, while a red logo sits on top of the tongue.

The outsole is green rubber, and it houses a Zoom Turbo unit. That keeps the shoe light and quick, just like the rest of the LeBron 24 line.

The pair is part of a Grinch-inspired “naughty list” theme that also includes the Sabrina 4 and the Book 2. The style code is IO8205-300. Pairs are expected in men’s sizing through Nike and select retailers.

The first look came from a 360-degree video that Nike shared. Some basketball creators also saw the shoe earlier during a trip to Nike headquarters. Overall, it is one of the most eye-catching Christmas Nikes in years.

Nike LeBron 24 “Christmas”

LeBron’s holiday shoes have a long history. The Christmas Day games have also always been a showcase for new colorways, and fans look forward to them every year. His first Christmas season as a Sixer adds some extra attention to whatever he wears.

The LeBron 24 line has already included the Nike LeBron 24 Greater China and the red and blue pairs in Sixers colors, and the blue “Stars” pair is set for November 17th.

The shoe is also the lightest LeBron signature model so far, and the zippered shroud gives it a futuristic edge that fans may love.

Overall, the “Christmas” 24 is a fun, creative way to end the year. It should be one of the most talked-about Nike Basketball releases in December.

The news comes from @zSneakerHeadz. Jordan Brand has not confirmed it, and the images so far include a mockup.

Overall, the design is clean and a little fancy. A white tumbled leather upper covers the shoe, and a navy rubber outsole sits underneath.

The biggest change is the pattern. A damask print replaces the usual elephant print on the toe and heel, and it also appears next to the Jumpman on the tongue.

The mudguard carries the text “Jordan Paris Family 91, 92, 93, 94,” while the heel says “NIKE PRS.” Those details turn the shoe into a very personal tribute to the city.

The pair uses the style code JJ3727-100, and it is expected in men’s sizing. Retail is limited to select Jordan Brand stores in Paris.

That makes it one of the toughest Air Jordan 3 pairs to find next year. It also joins the Air Jordan 3 “Middle East” in a growing list of regional exclusives.

Air Jordan 3 “Paris”

Paris has become an important city for Jordan Brand. The brand has a long relationship with Paris Saint-Germain, and the city has become one of its biggest cultural stages in Europe.

The pair is also part of a larger trend. Jordan Brand has been rolling out exclusives all year, including the Mexico-only Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Día de Muertos” and the Japan-exclusive Fragment x Union LA Air Jordan 1 High OG.

Damask is also a smart choice. The pattern feels like luxury fashion fabric, so it swaps the Air Jordan 3’s bold look for something more refined.

The Air Jordan 3 is one of the best canvases in the line, so regional designs work especially well. It has already been used for holiday pairs like the kids-only Air Jordan 3 “Santa” and the darker Air Jordan 3 “Not Nice”.

Overall, the “Paris” 3 could be a collector’s favorite in 2027. Fans will want official images soon.

Per the report, law enforcement sources indicated deputies and paramedics responded to calls at the father of three’s home about a man who was reportedly stabbed in the neck. Paramedics reportedly treated his superficial wound at the scene. A video within the report shows the chaotic scene as police had various individuals in cuffs and directed guests off the property.

According to TMZ‘s sources, law enforcement authorities eventually arrested a male suspect for assault with a deadly weapon. It doesn’t seem like the “Folded” fan was home at his property when the stabbing occurred.

We will see if any more information emerges about this incident or what else went down at the party. Elsewhere, footage emerged of performances from folks like OhGeesy at the shindig.

Jamie Foxx Party

At press time, it doesn’t seem like the multi-hyphenate artist and actor has responded to this incident at the party. We will see if his daughter Anelise has something to say about it. The report indicates it was an isolated incident that derailed the rest of the night. But it seems like, fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

In other news, Jamie Foxx recently welcomed his third child with his partner Alyce Huckstepp. He joked about becoming a father again at age 58, but seems excited for this new era of fatherhood.

Elsewhere, Jamie Foxx is slowly entering the public eye again after his health scare a few years ago caused a lot of concern. He previously worked in so many artistic areas that his absence from film, TV, music, and beyond was sorely missed. Of course, Foxx can’t get right back in the swing of things, but the path is promising. Hopefully he can handle this party situation accordingly and enjoy less dangerous outings or hosting gigs in the future.

Two pairs are expected in Spring, “Black & White” and “Dusty Cactus,” while “University Gold” and “Pink & Volt” are planned for Summer.

Overall, the pack looks like a mix of simple and bold. The “Black & White” pair keeps things clean, with a dark rubber mudguard wrapping the toe, sides, and heel.

The “Dusty Cactus” pair is a soft, dusty green, while “University Gold” goes with a golden yellow base and an orange Swoosh. “Pink & Volt” is the loudest of the group.

All four pairs keep the Air Max BW’s low profile and visible Air unit, with NOCTA branding added.

The style codes are IW7854-001, IW7854-300, IW7854-700, and IW7854-600. Pairs are expected through Nike SNKRS and NOCTA.com.

Nothing is official yet, and the images so far are mockups. Nike and NOCTA have not confirmed the colorways or dates. This is one of two Air Max projects Drake’s label has in the works, and the NOCTA Air Max Plus was also expected earlier and reportedly got delayed.

NOCTA Nike Air Max BW Pack

The Air Max BW first arrived in 1991 and was designed by Tinker Hatfield. It has long been a cult favorite, and its most recent big retro run came in 2021 for the 30th anniversary.

NOCTA has been a busy label this year. The brand worked on the NOCTA x Nike KD 19 pack with Kevin Durant, and it launched the Cryoshot Tiempo ‘94 before the World Cup.

Drake and KD also teamed up for a funny Nike ad that showed Drake as a “yes man.”

The BW is a smart choice for NOCTA. It has a classic Air Max look, but it is not as overexposed as the Air Max 90 or Air Max 95.

A $150 price keeps the pack more approachable than some other NOCTA releases. Four colors also give fans plenty of options.

Overall, the NOCTA Air Max BW could be one of the most interesting Nike collabs of 2027.

Cube and Dre co-produced it. At around the 59-minute mark of the YouTube video below, they discussed how tough it was to make it work, and how fans still criticize it to this day.

“You know how hard it is to make a biopic, though,” the Listen & Laugh cohost shared. “We still got people complaining about the one we made, not knowing how hard it is to shove ten years into two hours. With four different people, and all the fighting we had to do with the movie company… They didn’t want Ren to have lines, they didn’t want Yella to have lines. We was like, ‘You can’t put them in the movie as just background.'”

“Who are you? You weren’t even there,” Listen & Laugh‘s guest added, directed to the film executives.

“These are people who’ve made a lot of movies, and understand there’s no way you can follow five characters and tell everybody’s backstory,” Cube went on. “Sometimes, if you can’t tell their backstory, do people really care? We’re N.W.A., people care about everybody in the group. People don’t understand all the grappling you got to do behind the scenes just to make the kind of movie that it needs to be.”

Ice Cube & Dr. Dre On Straight Outta Compton

“I really like the way Universal handled us,” Dre chimed in. “Donna Langley specifically. She was amazing, she let us do our f***ing thing… You have to understand, especially as a movie executive, what you don’t know.”

“She understood that we was super passionate about this story,” Cube replied. “We couldn’t get it wrong… It’s a thousand ways to get a movie like this wrong, and only a few ways to get it right.”

Dre went on to tell a story about an executive giving a suggestion for a scene in the film that involved the AI proponent, which made Dre feel odd because he was right there to give his own perspective.

Elsewhere during their conversation, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre debated over hip-hop’s best producer and talked about other career highlights.

Per a Complex interview, Cube isn’t ruling out a potential N.W.A. reunion that would honor the late Eazy-E. “I don’t know. It has to come together organically,” he revealed. “And it’s all about Dr. Dre, where his head is, you know? If he feel like doing it, we do it. If he don’t, we don’t. Nobody wants a N.W.A. song without Dr. Dre’s production. Who knows? I would love to get together with them dudes. It ain’t hard to find me on the microphone. I mean, I’m easy to find.”
