That physical release gives No Ceilings another life after years of being complicated by the very thing that made it a quintessential mixtape. Wayne originally spent the 2009 project taking other artists’ records apart and rebuilding them around his own bars, rapping over songs by Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Gucci Mane, among others. That format’s freedom helped make the tape beloved, but it also made bringing the entire project into the commercial streaming era difficult.

“No Ceilings” Has Already Survived One Major Reissue

When No Ceilings finally hit streaming services in 2020, fans didn’t get the full mixtape they remembered. The original 21-track release was reduced to 12 songs, with several freestyles left behind. Clearing the music proved especially complicated because so much of the project relied on existing instrumentals. Wayne’s manager, Mack Maine, later described clearing the tape as a “frigging nightmare,” explaining that the cost and ownership negotiations made restoring Wayne’s mixtape catalog to streaming unusually difficult. Even so, the shortened No Ceilings release introduced the project to listeners who had missed the era when finding a Wayne tape meant heading somewhere other than Spotify.

Moreover, the title grew into its own franchise. Wayne followed with No Ceilings 2 in 2015, then revived the series in 2020 with No Ceilings 3. At the time, he told Complex that the mixtape format had played such an important role in his career that he wanted to help bring the art back.

For collectors, the real pressure point is scarcity. Record Store Day Black Friday releases ship through participating independent record stores, and with only 5,000 copies pressed, No Ceilings will likely be one of the harder Wayne releases to stumble across casually after Nov. 27.

Quotable Lyrics From Almighty Jay’s “when?”

Jumpin’ off a yacht everyday in Miami
At the dock on Collins
Why did you drop out of college?
How could you give up your goals and just turn to the streets
Girl, you should be a scholar

According to TMZ, Avila says Brown has refused to provide dates for a court examination where he would be expected to appear with bank records. She also claims the financial information his side has already produced is incomplete, particularly when it comes to payment sources connected to his touring income. A judge has not granted her request for a warrant.

The collection fight stems from Avila’s lawsuit over a 2020 dog attack at Brown’s Los Angeles home. A jury found Brown liable earlier this year and initially awarded Avila $12.9 million. A judge later reduced that amount to $9.5 million after finding insufficient evidence to support portions of the damages award. Avila accepted the lower amount rather than proceed to a new trial on damages.

Maria Avila Has Already Gone After Chris Brown’s Tour Income

The push for Brown’s financial records didn’t start with the warrant request. Avila has spent months trying to identify income that could satisfy the judgment, including touring income and royalties. In August, a Los Angeles judge allowed Avila to pursue Brown’s tour income and royalties as part of her collection efforts. Brown objected, arguing that the request swept too broadly across his current and future earnings. Days later, the judge denied Brown’s request for additional time to turn over information about his income.

Brown also argued that his touring schedule made it difficult for him to appear for a financial examination. Avila has continued pressing for access to the records she says are necessary to determine where the money is coming from and how the judgment can be paid. Her latest filing raises the stakes considerably.

Although she didn’t mention any names, the response came shortly after Reggie’s post online, in which he called out Kai and Tylil for allegedly having affairs with famous women.

“Tylil still lying like I told them how [he] always cheating on his girl like we all did Kai. Tylil acting like I told the world he was secretly sneaking around with Ari Fletcher that’s why Yosohn was always at clover crib. Kai act like I told the world he cracked Ice Spice,” the post read. “Tylil always hated on Kai[,] Tylil was always envious of Kai’s success.. Tylil hated on Dez and punga was a follower plus a thief. Punga stole over 10,000 from Dez.”

Ice Spice Chimes In

So far, we haven’t heard anything from Kai himself. But he and Ice Spice have had a pretty friendly and cordial relationship over the years, especially since they both started to gain mainstream popularity around the same time.

Unfortunately, this is just another rumor that Ice Spice has had to address in recent times. Earlier this year, she found herself facing pregnancy rumors after collaborating with Lil Yachty on the song “Out My Face (My Baby).” As those rumors began to spiral, Rolling Stone confirmed that she wasn’t pregnant before she spoke out about the speculation on social media.

Most recently, he released a deluxe edition of Habibti, titled Habibti (FOMO), with four additional tracks that he debuted during his livestream in September. Those songs included “Quebec,” “Classic Pt. 2,” and two collaborations with Don Toliver, “Cold Shoulder” and “Solar Eclipse,” which also serves as a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” 

“Solar Eclipse” has evidently proven to be the big hit out of the collection of new songs. “Solar Eclipse,” specifically, now sits at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, per Kurrco. This now marks a career high for Don Toliver as “Solar Eclipse” is now his highest-charting single on the chart. Moreover, it now extends Drake’s record for the most Hot 100 top-10 hits in history. With “Solar Eclipse,” his record now extends to 91 entries.

Habibti (FOMO) also saw some major success as it returned to #2 on the Billboard 200 this week with 71K album-equivalent units moved. The album previously held that position upon its debut on the chart, alongside ICEMAN at #1 and Maid Of Honour at #3.

Despite all of the success on the chart, don’t expect to see any of his projects nominated for a Grammy this year. Reports emerged this month indicating that the rapper hasn’t submitted ICEMAN or the other two projects to the award show, which certainly isn’t new for him. Evidently, he’s not concerned about bringing another trophy back to The Embassy. 

How do you feel about Drake’s new songs from FOMO? Let us know in the comment section below.

The TDE rapper was performing at the Back to the City Festival when a fan suddenly made his way onto the stage and approached him. The man appeared overwhelmed once he reached Ab-Soul, struggling to steady himself as he came face-to-face with an artist who clearly meant something significant to him.

Soulo initially looked caught off guard, which was understandable given how quickly the stranger appeared beside him. Rather than shove him away or immediately hand the situation over to security, however, he listened. Once it became clear the fan was emotional rather than confrontational, Soul pulled him into an embrace and allowed the interaction to breathe in front of the crowd.

Ab-Soul Let The Moment Be Bigger Than The Disruption

An obvious safety issue arises whenever someone gains unauthorized access to a concert stage. Artists have no way of knowing a stranger’s intentions in those first seconds, and the clip raised questions online about how the fan reached Ab-Soul before security intervened.

For an artist whose listeners often connect to music that wrestles openly with grief, survival, and the less polished corners of being alive, that kind of response carries its own weight. The fan crossed a boundary by getting onto the stage, but Ab didn’t reduce him to a mistake. He gave him a few seconds with the person he had apparently been trying so desperately to reach, then sent him back into the crowd with a memory that probably landed very differently from what security had planned for him.

What is clear is that The Fall-Off would have entered Grammy season with a strong résumé. Released in February and presented by Cole as an album made “with intentions to be my last,” the project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The release also followed years of anticipation, after Cole began teasing the project as far back as 2018.

J. Cole Has Never Hidden His Complicated Feelings About The Grammys

Cole’s reported absence is notable because he has continued participating in the Grammy process despite criticizing the institution in his music. On 2024’s “7 Minute Drill,” he bluntly dismissed the awards with “F*ck the Grammys,” even as his own catalog continued receiving nominations.

However, his history with the Recording Academy is far from empty. Cole won Best Rap Song in 2020 as a featured artist on 21 Savage’s “A Lot,” and later won Best Melodic Rap Performance alongside Lil Durk for “All My Life.” The Off-Season earned multiple nominations in 2022, while Might Delete Later earned a Best Rap Album nomination at the 2025 ceremony.

There is also no workaround once Grammy voting begins. The Recording Academy requires eligible recordings to be formally entered during its Online Entry Process before they can appear on a voting ballot. Submissions for the 2027 ceremony closed Aug. 21, with first-round voting beginning Oct. 12. If the reports about Cole’s entries are accurate, The Fall-Off will not be snubbed when nominations arrive in November. It will never have been in the race.

Sadly, Mitte died Monday, Oct. 12, in Brownsville, Texas. He was 34. His representatives confirmed his death to TMZ, remembering him as an actor and disability rights advocate. The outlet reports that Mitte died by suicide, while law enforcement said the circumstances remain under investigation.

“It is with profound sadness we share the tragic passing of beloved actor, philanthropist, and passionate disability rights advocate RJ Mitte,” his representatives said. They also pointed to the advocacy that grew alongside his acting career, particularly his work around cerebral palsy, accessibility, and opportunities for disabled performers.

RJ Mitte Wanted Hollywood To Treat Disability As Ordinary

Mitte was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child, though Walter Jr.’s condition was more pronounced than his own. That shared experience gave the role an authenticity he later used to push conversations about who gets to appear on screen and how disability is portrayed once they get there.

“My overall goal is to show people how normal disability is,” Mitte told The Independent in 2021. He argued that disability should not automatically separate someone from their community or limit the stories they are allowed to tell. Mitte later worked with organizations including United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children’s, using the visibility Breaking Bad gave him to advocate for broader representation.

Mitte was still talking about Breaking Bad days before his death. During an appearance on The Joe Vulpis Podcast, he recalled that his first audition after moving to Los Angeles had been for an anti-meth campaign. Years later, he found himself auditioning for the series that would define much of his career. “Full circle,” he joked, telling People that he still considered Breaking Bad an anti-meth story because “it doesn’t end well for anyone.”

His representatives asked for privacy for those closest to him while remembering the work he did beyond television. Mitte understood that Walter Jr. gave him a platform, but he spent the years afterward trying to make sure disabled actors would not need one groundbreaking role to prove they belonged there.

Lil Jon Opens Up About Son In Upcoming Memoir

Days after Smith passed away, Lil Jon shared a heartbreaking tribute to his son on Instagram, confirming the news.

“I am extremely heartbroken for the tragic loss of our son, Nathan Smith,” the statement read. “His mother [Nicole Smith] and I are devastated. Nathan was the kindest human being you would ever met. He was immensely caring, thoughtful, polite, passionate, and warmhearted – he loved his family and the friends in his life to the fullest. He was an amazingly talented young man. A music producer, an artist and engineer, and graduate of NYU. We loved Nathan with all of our hearts and are incredibly proud of him. He was loved and appreciated, and in our last times together we’re comforted in knowing that we expressed that very sentiment to him.”

Lil Jon’s memoir is set to be released on October 20th and will cover his upbringing, his commercial dominance, and the later years of his career, too.
