For those unaware, during the rappers’ nasty online beef back in 2023, the California rapper had claimed that Martinez’s two-year-old child with Soulja was actually his. She sued him in Los Angeles Superior Court for defamation in December of that year, and his lack of response resulted in a default judgement against Blueface.

The original award was $123,245, which includes $100K for emotional distress. But according to MyNewsLA and Martinez’s lawyers’ new reported court filings, interest has ballooned this judgement to $131,655 as of Wednesday (December 24). That day, her attorneys reportedly filed writs of execution with Los Angeles and Sacramento county sheriffs.

Earlier this month, Judge Peter Hernandez reportedly ordered that the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and BMI must give whatever royalties they collected on the West Coast MC’s behalf to Martinez until they satisfy the judgement.

Blueface reportedly still hasn’t paid his due, which his prison time significantly hindered. We’ll see if that changes soon.

Jackilyn Martinez claimed she hasn’t been intimate with him since 2018. “As a result of [his] wrongful conduct and the defamatory statements, I have [suffered] and continue to suffer severe emotional and mental distress, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, (and) crying spells,” she wrote in an earlier declaration filing.

When Did Blueface Go To Jail?

Since Blueface was arrested in January of 2024, this made it more difficult to handle this lawsuit from the mother of Soulja Boy’s child. It still didn’t excuse his lack of response, and it certainly hasn’t excused the legal bill that keeps mounting up. But context is always important.

We’ll see if Soulja responds to this at some point or if he lets it all just slide. Considering the heavy beef the two artists were engaging in on social media, we wouldn’t be surprised if they get more volatile.

In the clip, you can see various members of his entourage, seemingly such as Octavian, showing off the space and joking around. You can see speakers and a microphone spread around, but not much else, so the setup is quite rudimentary. Still, that makes sense given not just the space’s physical limitations, but how direct and raw recording processes can be. Especially when you’re such a huge artist that is constantly moving around.

Does this mean we will get Drizzy’s comeback solo studio album sooner rather than later? Fans certainly hope so, as it’s been a long time since this whole hype cycle first began. We don’t have any other dates or teases to go off of just yet. As such, many hardcore fans are banking on ICEMAN to arrive early next year, but we’ll just have to wait and see what the release strategy is.

Drake’s next album ICEMAN is going to be a pretty big event, especially given how much he’s hyped it up. “I’m going on a last recording trip,” he remarked during his recent livestream session with friends like BenDaDonnn. “There’s plenty to talk about. We’ll talk about it. ICEMAN coming soon, y’all boys better duck and get out the way.”

We will see if this project starts a completely new era for the 6ix God, if it will still center around the Kendrick Lamar battle, whether or not he squashes some of his recent feuds, or if ICEMAN ends up being one of his best projects so far.

Both fans and haters are very skeptical about that last point, but you never know. After all, it’s been a little over two years since his last solo effort, and few full-length efforts in his career have as much contest and narrative behind it as this.

Quotable Lyrics from Make Out With My Choppa

Make out with my chop’ (Slatt), make out with this chop’
Got a hundred pair Louis V, Tom Ford, Gucci socks
Bitch, I’m bustin’ these VV’s on me, they say I go too raw (Boop-boop-boop)
Yeah, I got beans on me, got lean on me, these .223’s I rock (Woo)

The first is the Virgil Abloh Archive x Nike Air Force 1 “Pine Green,” a pair that feels closer to a museum piece than a retail release. The deep green leather upper carries Virgil’s signature deconstructed language, complete with exposed stitching, oversized Swooshes, and archive-style tagging that immediately signals its one-off status.

Alongside it is the Fragment x Union Los Angeles x Air Jordan 1 High “Sport Royal,” another heavyweight collaboration that doesn’t rely on loud branding. The black and blue leather base reflects Fragment’s clean, restrained approach, while Union’s construction details add texture and depth.

Visible stitching, layered panels, and subtle mismatches give the shoe a worn-in, handcrafted feel that separates it from standard Jordan 1 releases. What makes this moment special is seeing Chase B highlight two very different expressions of collaboration.

One leans into experimental design and archival storytelling, while the other refines classic Jordan DNA through thoughtful execution. Seeing them together reinforces how powerful collaboration can be when it’s driven by vision, not hype.

Chase B’s Sneaker Haul

The green Air Force 1 features smooth leather panels with bold stitching and a large metallic Swoosh on the side. A zip-tie tag hangs from the laces, reinforcing its archival feel. The black midsole grounds the vibrant upper nicely.

The Jordan 1 beside it uses black and royal blue leather with visible stitching throughout. The layered construction gives it a worn, handcrafted look. Cream-colored edges soften the contrast between panels.

Fragment branding stays subtle, letting the materials speak. Both pairs look premium and intentional. Nothing feels accidental. The designs balance restraint and detail perfectly. They feel personal, not commercial.

Each sneaker tells a different story, but both feel deeply connected to collaboration culture.

House Of Heat reports that the Air Jordan 4 Denim “Iced Carmine” will be released in the summer of 2026.

It feels intentional, seasonal, and clearly built with everyday wear in mind. The “Iced Carmine” colorway swaps traditional leather panels for a pink denim upper that gives the shoe a lighter, more relaxed feel.

It’s a subtle move, but one that changes the entire personality of the Air Jordan 4. Instead of leaning aggressive or performance-driven, this version feels casual and versatile without losing its identity.

The creamy, slightly translucent midsole adds contrast and helps ground the softer upper, while still keeping the shoe recognizable at first glance. Jordan Brand has found success lately reworking core models for women with new material changes.

This release fits right into that strategy. It doesn’t chase hype or nostalgia. Instead, it offers a fresh take that feels current and wearable. With summer in mind, the Air Jordan 4 Denim “Iced Carmine” looks positioned to be an easy go-to rather than a special-occasion sneaker.

This Air Jordan 4 features a soft pink denim upper that immediately gives it a lighter, more casual look. The denim texture feels consistent across the panels and avoids looking overly distressed.

Creamy translucent accents appear along the midsole and outsole, adding warmth without overpowering the colorway. The mesh side panels stay true to the original shape and help balance the softer materials.

A pale pink heel tab with subtle branding keeps things minimal. The visible Air unit sits cleanly within the midsole and adds a familiar touch. Overall, the shoe looks easy to wear and thoughtfully put together. It feels more lifestyle-focused than aggressive.

Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $220 when they drop.

Overall, there are some mild shots from Young Buck, but the groove of the song is really nice. Rapping over G Herbo’s viral “Went Legit” instrumental he says, “Everyday some new sh*t / These rappers need to quit teamin’ up on these podcasts makin’ these lil skits.”

He then proceeds to taunt Fat Joe for his weight and past endorsement of Ozempic later into the opening verse. “Just here to tell thе truth so the fans can’t get conflicted / No hands was put on nobody even though I attempted / I don’t know if this is you Fat Joe or the Ozempic but / Speak facts when you say my name.”

It’s a short song too, clocking in at just under three minutes. But overall, fans and The JBP are fans of it.

They have a similar view on the song’s aggressiveness and how it effective it is at being a diss track. However, the crew gives Young Buck his flowers for his current form and reminisce on his past catalog.

Why Are Fat Joe & Young Buck Beefing?

Later into the conversation, they discuss where they could see this beef going next. Marc Lamont Hill was the only one who really could see this escalating. Joe, Parks, and the rest of the panel they don’t see it going anywhere extreme.

They predict that Fat Joe will respond on Joe And Jada, his podcast and call it a day. However, Joe Budden does believe that if Joey Crack were to get in the booth, Buck would handle him pretty easily.

Another reason why it doesn’t seem likely to them that this will advance is because they think Joe put a little extra “sauce” on his alleged account.

On the “Lean Back” rapper’s pod, he claimed that him and his crew beat up Young Buck following a performance in Chicago during the heat of Joe’s feud with G-Unit.

He alleges that police formed a barricade to calm things down. But when Buck allegedly got too “trigger happy” so to speak, he got two-pieced.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “University Blue” will be released in March 2026.

The colorway originally debuted in 2003 and quickly became one of the most recognizable Pro releases of the early 2000s era. Now, over two decades later, Nike is bringing it back with a clear focus on accuracy.

This upcoming release stays faithful to the original design language that made the Foamposite Pro iconic. The bold University Blue Foam shell returns with its signature molded lines, paired with clean white leather on the upper and a crisp white Swoosh embedded into the side panel.

Black detailing on the mini Swoosh, carbon fiber shank, and outsole grounds the look without distracting from the vibrant blue finish. The Foamposite Pro has always lived in a slightly different lane than the One. It feels sleeker, more aggressive, and more wearable off the court.

That balance helped the “University Blue” pair stand out during its original run and still does today. With adult pairs now fully revealed, this 2026 retro is shaping up to be a proper nod to Foamposite history rather than a loose reinterpretation.

The Foamposite shell shines in a smooth University Blue finish that instantly grabs attention. White leather wraps the upper, creating a sharp contrast against the molded shell. A large white Swoosh is embedded cleanly into the side panel.

Black accents appear on the mini Swoosh, outsole, and carbon fiber midfoot plate. The shape looks streamlined and aggressive from every angle. Subtle ribbing along the Foam shell adds depth without feeling overdesigned. White laces and pull tabs keep the look balanced.

Everything feels sturdy, structured, and unmistakably Foamposite Pro. The color blocking stays simple and confident throughout. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $240 when they drop.

However, according to AllHipHop, the Avon and Somerset Police dropped their investigation on Tuesday (December 23). There was apparently not enough evidence “for there to be a realistic prospect of conviction.” Thus, the duo will face no charges for their actions. Via Instagram, the duo shared a lengthy message to acknowledge this.

“What we have lost in peace and security, we have gained tenfold in spirit and camaraderie. And that is unbreakable,” the duo’s Bobby Vylan, real name Pascal Robinson-Foster, captioned his IG post.

In their message, they acknowledged that they should celebrate this development, but they recognized that this criminal investigation was unwarranted to begin with. They called out politicians and media for dragging their advocacy on behalf of Palestinian people and said that small segment of their non-hateful performance was just a display of solidarity. Overall, the message is about the more resourceful forces that attempt to quell public sentiment, and they hope more folks can follow their lead. “May all oppressed people the world over, resist the boot of tyranny on the neck of freedom,” the message ends.

Bob Vylan even got support from homegrown hip-hop. Back in July, the one and only Chuck D defended the duo’s actions at Glastonbury.

“When people say death to a country, they’re not saying death to a people,” he remarked during an interview. “They’re saying death to imperialism, death to colonialism. Bob Vylan ain’t got no tanks. They’re using words to say something must end. You can’t really kill nobody with a guitar or a microphone, but you could kill somebody with a drone and a f***ing tank.”

After this turbulent saga is over, we will see what’s next for Bob Vylan.

One kid, Jackson, asked for a signed skateboard. Uzi delivered and showed how much his letter touched them. “Thank you so much for taking the time out of your beautiful life to check up on me and tell me how much I mean to you.”

The hitmaker continues, “Here is my skateboard. Learn some tricks and send videos. Remember you’re youngeer than me so you have time to be better than me…” they joke. “Oh, yea, our handwriting looks similar… you should work on that LOVE YOU [red heart emoji fire emoji] COR(E).”

Another fan named Drake just so happened to have a project for school and it was to write an “outrageous” letter and ask for a gift of any kind. He requested two tickets to any upcoming show or a silver diamond chain.

While Uzi didn’t follow through on those fronts, they did still cop him a pair of Balenciaga glasses.

Vert then wrote back, “Wassup twin, so listen I really appreciate you hittin me up… especially around the holidays… that’s so real.” They continue, “You told me you wanted a chain with diamonds. I really thought hard about it. I went to the jewelry store and looked at some stuff and was like “nahhhhhhhh, hold on, twin don’t even have balenciaga glasses yet.” So we gonna start here. Love you bro [glasses emoji red heart emoji] COR(E).”

We have to imagine that this made all of these fans’ Christmas’ extra special, so that’s amazing to see.

Lil Uzi has also been generous with the new releases as of late too, though. If you haven’t been paying attention, they’re essentially an independent artist but have a distribution deal with Roc Nation.

This change has led to the “Money Mitch” songwriter to drop constantly this last month. Their most recent gift was the Jersey club tinged “What You Saying.” The track was followed by a music video featuring fashion legends like Marc Jacobs.

But this stretch is not over yet. Uzi said in an Instagram Story on Wednesday, “Might as well keep going. I feel really good but I luv y’all. I’m so happy 1M thank y’all so much. Gotta give thanks 2 the cor(e).”

Maybe this means an album is coming?

However, in a clip captured on Instagram, he balanced some critique with some commendation as well. But overall, Dr. Umar thinks Nicki went a step too far when it comes to the fruits of her labor.

“I’m disappointed in my sister Nicki,” he expressed. “You have no business using hip-hop music to build yourself in Black culture – very talented sister, very articulate sister, very intelligent sister. Tremendous lyricist. Few sisters I can put in front of her in terms of lyrical talent. But how dare you build a comfortable life for you and your beautiful family on Black culture and then turn around and use that success to help Donald Trump leverage his military agenda against Black Africa, the Black Caribbean, and Black America?

“I need her to understand, sister Nicki, you are being used against the Black Caribbean, Black Africa, and Black America,” Umar Johnson continued. “What Donald Trump is offering you, is it worth that? Is it worth the turning back [of] the clock of African people in three separate regions? You got the Caribbean, he’s pushing at Venezuela, military agenda; you got Nigeria, he’s pushing at fake ‘Save the Christians in the North’ agenda so he can acces Ibrahim Traoré; and of course, you see what he’s doing to Black folks [in the U.S.]. I hope my sister rethinks what she’s doing. I got nothing but love for her and her family. But Nicki Minaj, please, please, please, sister. Do not go down in history as one of the greatest c**ns who ever lived in the 21st century.”

Nicki Minaj’s responses to this backlash have been quite dismissive, for the most part. We will see what the next phase of this story is. Until then, we’re sure fans will have a lot more to debate about.
