The reason why fans made a big deal out of this new song is because of her lyrics on the cut. “F***ing on this British man / Crib look like the Buckingham,” the Atlanta femcee rapped. Seems easy enough, right? Following years of speculation, referencing a British man on a song with someone born in the United Kingdom seems like a surefire message.

Still, we can’t help but keep a grain of salt on the side. After all, they could just be playing in folks’ faces over these rumors and driving more engagement with these little hints. But considering that Latto called 21 Savage her “husband” during a TMZ street interview, maybe we’re playing too much 4D chess. Or maybe they are… Jokes aside, they certainly achieved their goal, whatever it was.

Where Is 21 Savage From?

However, there is one person who thinks much less of 21 Savage’s British origins. After he dissed Tekashi 6ix9ine in his Perspektives With Bank interview, the New York provocateur clapped back with a comical skit. In it, he played the King of England denying Savage travel to Atlanta. For those unaware, he was born in the United Kingdom and moved to Atlanta as a seven-year-old.

Of course, we doubt that 21 Savage will respond to 6ix9ine anytime in the future, save for another casual stray like the one in the Bank interview. Still, it’s ironic to have 21’s background pop up this week under wildly different contexts.

But 6ix9ine’s also addressed Latto and 21 Savage’s relationship. During an interview with DJ Vlad in which he played “F**k, Marry, Kill” with her, Megan Thee Stallion, and Ice Spice as the options, he chose to marry her in order to spite the Slaughter Gang CEO.

“I’m definitely marrying Latto. I’ma marry Latto so she could give a green card to her husband,” Tekashi remarked. If what she said about her “man” is true, he might be late to the party.

In a clip caught by Kurrco on Twitter, you can see the fan in the crowd spell out her name for K.Dot. A staff member handed Kalina the hat while she was on an unidentified person’s shoulders, presumably a family member. The crowd roared for her as she shed tears, smiled, and put the hat on.

“She was official from the start,” the “Grand National” performer expressed. “Now she’s super, super, duper official. Make some noise for Kalina. […] Now, on three, we gon’ sing happy birthday to Kalina. Don’t mess this up. The cameras is everywhere. We gon’ take this back to America. One, two, three…” Lamar led the crowd’s singing and joined in on the song.

Other social media accounts have reported that Kalina is Aboriginal, but this hasn’t been confirmed. We will see if folks get to hear her story firsthand one day.

Kendrick Lamar Tour

With these final Split Milk shows, Kendrick Lamar’s wrapping up his “Grand National” tour. This massive victory lap after the Drake battle, GNX, big Grammy wins, and his Super Bowl halftime show has been a lot to take in, whether you’re a “K.Bot,” an “OV-Hoe,” or somewhere in the middle. Most recently, Australia opener and TDE colleague ScHoolboy Q joined the Compton lyricist on stage for a special rendition of “Collard Greens.”

The tour was wildly successful, but its conclusion leaves many question marks in its wake. Will we have to wait another two to five years for what’s next? Will it even be new music? Is the next big thing Kendrick Lamar’s movie with the South Park creators?

We’ll just have to wait and see. After many special moments, fans experienced something massive.

The kicks dropped back in August 2025 and quickly became a favorite. Paul’s footwear choice didn’t go unnoticed. BMX legend Nigel Sylvester himself commented on the Instagram post. “Aye @jakepaul good footwear fam,” Sylvester wrote.

The “Better With Time” colorway features black tumbled leather with intentional scuff marks across the upper. It’s designed to look worn-in straight out of the box. Cream accents hit the Swoosh, laces, and Wings logo.

A varsity red outsole adds a pop of color to the otherwise understated look. The pre-distressed aesthetic mirrors the wear and tear Sylvester’s own Jordans endure from BMX riding.

Sylvester’s “Bike Air” branding appears on the tongue and insoles. Inside the collar, “Jordan Biking Co.” stamps complete the collaborative details.

Jake Paul v. Anthony Joshua

The face-off itself became instant meme material. Paul stood on his tippy toes while staring down the much larger Joshua.

He faces Joshua this Friday at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The fight streams live on Netflix and carries a reported $184 million purse. Paul typically fights at cruiserweight around 200 pounds. Joshua is a massive heavyweight who can’t weigh more than 245 pounds per the fight contract.

The size difference was jarring at their first face-off. Joshua towered over Paul, standing 6-foot-6 compared to Paul’s 6-foot-1 frame. Paul’s comical approach to the staredown shows he’s not taking himself too seriously despite the massive stakes.

Jake Paul’s Boxing Record

Paul has been building his boxing resume strategically. He defeated Mike Tyson in November 2024 in front of 108 million viewers. He followed that with a unanimous decision over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June 2025.

That win earned him a No. 14 ranking in the WBA cruiserweight division. Now he’s jumping up to heavyweight to face a former two-time unified champion. The fight is sanctioned and professional, not an exhibition.

Overall, Jake Paul’s boxing record stands at 12-1, with his single loss to Tommy Fury. Jake is certainly not afraid to get in the ring.

Paul has been training with heavyweight contenders Frank Sachez, Jared Anderson, and Lawrence Okolie to prepare. Joshua represents Paul’s biggest test yet. And Paul made sure to look the part with the Nigel Sylvester Lows on his feet.

Newsom’s team’s clip uses the “Megan’s Law” bar to criticize Trump’s alleged connection to Jeffrey Epstein, including more photos from Trump at Epstein’s parties and “Trump condoms” the sex offender allegedly handed out. This, of course, did not please the Queen of the Barbz.

“Career politician at the brink of his moment realigns to become nothing more than a Nicki Minaj ANTI,” she wrote on Twitter. “OOF. So now he’s the guy running on ‘wanting to see trans kids’ AND willing to lower himself to becoming just another FEMALE RAPPER to get obliterated by NICKI MINAJ. #FREEChristians #NewScum.” “Wanting to see more TRANSKIDS NEWSOME GRUESOME Haha Fire victims? Nah Hollywood? Nah Swatting calls to homes with innocent children? Nah GAVIN WANTS ONE THING. TRANSKIDS NEWSOME this one made me laugh really loud LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Gotta admit I’m funny.”

“Oh gavvy Pooh the ppl behind you clearly don’t care about you,” the Trinidadian superstar went on. “I can go a lot deeper. Arch your back. Today you get another chance. Tmrw no more. I’d switch gears. You & your entire team. Blessings.” She also tweeted about pandering and joked about Governor Newsom transitioning.

For those unaware, Nicki Minaj blasted Gavin Newsom recently amid his defense of trans kids, taking to Twitter to fire off. “Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids,” she wrote “Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids. Not Gav The Gav Nots GavOUT Send in the next guy, I’m bored.”

Nicki Minaj’s recent Trump support also adds a lot to this narrative. As for her beef with Gavin Newsom, he allegedly didn’t help out when she reached out about swatting incidents at her home in the state. And Megan Thee Stallion is just watching it all go down without a word.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. The iconic “Gamma Blue” colorway released to the public earlier today and has already sold out at most retailers. Hurts gave sneakerheads a preview of what the silhouette looks like in cleat form.

Wearing the sleek black-and-blue kicks under the primetime lights, Hurts reminded everyone why he’s the face of Jordan Brand’s football division. The “Gamma” colorway has always been a fan favorite. It originally dropped in 2013 as a holiday release.

It quickly became one of the most sought-after non-OG Jordan 11s. This year’s retro features the updated “true to OG” shape with a higher patent leather cut. Hurts’ cleat version mirrors that premium aesthetic.

The Philadelphia QB has built a reputation for his on-field footwear choices throughout the season. From his viral “Jalen Two Shoes” moment wearing mismatched Air Jordan 11 cleats to his custom “Love Hurts” PE editions, the quarterback treats game day like a runway.

Why Jalen Hurts Only Wears Air Jordan 11 Cleats

His cleat rotation has included everything from Air Jordan 1s to 4s to 10s. But the Air Jordan 11 remains his signature silhouette. The connection makes sense.

The 11 is Jordan Brand’s most iconic model. It blends luxury and performance in a way that mirrors Hurts’ own playing style. When he wore the Gamma cleats on Monday night, it wasn’t just about looking good. It was about representing a legacy.

Jordan Brand has leaned heavily into Hurts as the centerpiece of its football expansion. It’s paying off. The quarterback has become synonymous with bold footwear choices that blur the line between sport and culture.

His relationship with Jordan Brand extends beyond just wearing the shoes. He’s actively involved in the creative process. He works with customizers like Sean Vergara to bring his vision to life.

The “Gamma” cleats are just the latest example of that partnership in action. They give fans a chance to see how a retail release translates to the football field.

For those unaware, Tompkins has accused 50 Cent of abuse in recent years, which resulted in a lawsuit for allegedly violating a life rights agreement. She had reportedly signed a deal with G-Unit Books in 2007 for $80,000 and future royalties, giving away the exclusive rights to her life story.

Now, according to AllHipHop, the G-Unit mogul is seeking a default judgment in his case, plus a permanent injunction and a damages inquiry. Attorneys for G-Unit Books claim Shaniqua owes over $1 million in damages in addition to interest and legal fees.

Also, lawyers outlined their alleged failed attempts to serve her with the lawsuit, such as direct delivery in July of this year, posting the papers to her door, mailing them to her, and mentioning widespread media coverage of the legal move. Shaniqua Tompkins reportedly had to respond to this by September 10 of this year, but reportedly has not done so.

50 Cent Abuse Allegations

This complaint over the pursuit of declaratory judgment, breach of contract, and breach of good faith and fair dealing comes amid Sean Combs: The Reckoning. It’s the Netflix docuseries on Diddy that 50 Cent executive-produced, which has been very successful but also double-edged for Fif. Critics of his participation in the docuseries have brought up abuse allegations against him from multiple women, including Daphne Joy and Shaniqua Tompkins herself.

However, 50 Cent’s former girlfriend wants no part in this. Tatted Up Holly had previously accused him of abuse online, which he apologized for. The posts went down around this time, and she recently asked fans to leave her alone amid the resurfacing of her accusations.

Back to Shaniqua Tompkins, G-Unit wants the court to confirm the enforceability of pursuing damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees against her. Also, they seek a protective order removing past videos violating their alleged agreement and blocking new ones. If 50 wins, a damages hearing will reportedly take place in early 2026.

As previously reported, a judge allowed Howard to serve her through alternative means, since he was not able to do so under normal circumstances. The singer and dancer allegedly made herself very difficult to locate, risking a $20 million default judgement if she didn’t respond.

But according to Hollywood Unlocked on Instagram, she isn’t fully done with this matter. Court documents reportedly indicate that Cassie’s lawyer Melodie Han of Wigdor LLP filed a Notice of Appearance on Thursday (December 11) in the federal case. The Notice doesn’t respond to the complaint, address the allegations against Ventura, or make any other motion. Instead, it just confirms that she has legal representation. We will see what the next step in this legal debacle is.

Who Is Clayton Howard?

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

For those unaware, Clayton Howard is a former escort and sex worker who allegedly participated in Diddy and Cassie’s “freak-off” sessions in exchange for payment. He believes Ventura also deserves criminal charges for her alleged enablement of (and alleged participation in) Combs’ crimes. But this civil lawsuit only covers part of that with no criminal implication.

Howard has been speaking to a lot of media and on his own platforms concerning his allegations and accusations. As such, his situation has gotten a lot of attention, especially from the Bad Boy mogul’s supporters and those who question the singer’s story.

While Cassie hasn’t spoken out much recently, this new legal move indicates she’s at least preparing some sort of response or strategy. Of course, this doesn’t automatically remove the risk of a default judgement or affirm a future response.

As for Clayton Howard, we will see if he shares anything else online about this situation. It’s been a rough road for everyone, but there are levels to this case.

On Saturday (December 13), Drizzy took to Instagram to post a video of him playing hockey, sliding on the ice as naturally as he slides on beats. According to the fans, anyway. Plenty of haters piled up online, but he tosses those to the side like a puck.

Jokes aside, it wouldn’t be Drake’s first unconventional teaser for new music. After all, his livestreams for ICEMAN led to one of the most interesting yet divisive rollouts across his discography. Many fans love the live, raw, ambitious approach, whereas others think it’s biting off more than it can chew.

At the end of the day, only the body of work itself will really let fans know how it will stand among other LPs. But seeing more lean-ins to the “Iceman” character is a promising sign.

However, Drake’s new music isn’t for everyone, especially not for his longtime haters. Joe Budden recently expressed disappointment in “MR RECOUP,” his new collaboration with 21 Savage on the Atlanta MC’s new album, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS?

“I don’t have anything positive to say about that song,” he shared on his podcast. “So I’m going to reserve thought. But I do think it was important for Drake to be featured on this project. And I think in sequencing, if you just letting it rock, then maybe you won’t be mad at it. The beat, it fits. It’s not my particular favorite on there. I thought that Drake probably… It’s time for the heat, man. Enough of this. I just knew that Drake on 21 Savage’s album meant more than this. 21 dropping after their album together, I expected 21 to be on some s**t. Which he was, to me. I just think that two of them together means more than what they did here.

“They could’ve took that moment… Not to compare it, ’cause I hate to compare it,” Budden continued. “But the moment that Drake made with J. Cole, ‘First Person Shooter’? The moment that Kendrick [Lamar] made on ‘Like That,’ on somebody else’s s**t? Like, you can make a moment on somebody else’s s**t. Missed opportunity to me.”

For those unaware, he went on The Breakfast Club to claim that 50’s long-standing tensions with Sean Combs will result in bad karma and are reflective of an allegedly biased perspective as it relates to the documentary series. The actor, comedian, and writer said the G-Unit mogul was “kicking a man when he’s down.” This resulted in some fiery back-and-forth. But Fif took to Instagram to brush it off his shoulder.

“I’m not beefing with Marlon no more, he not funny. and I’m starting to think he a m**k for real. No more about him,” he wrote as his post’s caption. The post itself was an A.I.-manipulated clip from the film Friday in which Charlamagne Tha God is Smokey, DJ Envy is Craig, 50 is Deebo, and Marlon is Red. It’s the scene in which Deebo stole his bicycle and chain. In classic 50 Cent fashion, the white flag is still a big troll.

“For the record i don’t condone any abuse of women period,” Marlon Wayans clapped back at 50 Cent before this recent standstill attempt. “Unlike some people who have a track record of domestic violence. I got 5 sisters and a mother i honor. I rep US ALWAYS. Don’t let anyone create narratives … Marlon Lamont Wayans is an exceptional man. Good day Curtis…”

“I’m going make it abundantly clear: I’m not here defending Diddy,” Wayans added in a subsequent video. “I’m here because I got dragged into this because somebody asked me a question, and I had an opinion. Nobody is wrong for giving an opinion about any subject. Period. I’m not here defending Diddy. Don’t let the narrative fool you or get to you. Once again, somebody’s creating narratives.”

We will see if he accepts the Queens icon’s ignorance. On the other hand, Marlon could double down and try to instigate him once more.

Ksoo’s father had identified him as the shooter, pleading guilty to helping Scotty and Dominique “Butta” Barner escape after the murder, among other accessory after the fact considerations. This has all resulted in a lot of controversy. Even the Florida rapper himself spoke out against his father, as Robinson Sr. recently address this case on various media platforms.

“We need to take a blood test cus dis Fkkk n***a ain’t my daddy,” Ksoo recently wrote on his Instagram Story, as caught by XXL on IG. “I wasn’t raised by that man if i was ill be praising a rat like the rest of his kids.” This came after his father addressed folks advising him to leave Jacksonville for his controversial cooperation.

“They say I better leave Jacksonville… If I want to,” Robinson Sr. responded. “See, I’m Muslim. We understand. The only way to meet God is through the graveyard. See, we love death like y’all love life… ‘Cause y’all don’t want to die. It don’t matter to me.”

“When the trial came, and they brought me back to the jail, they kind of slipped and they put me right next door to Ksoo,” Robinson Sr. explained. “When I was coming by, I was looking at him. But he wouldn’t look back at me. And I wanted to tell him right there, ‘Stop this motherf***ing trial. Don’t do this.’ Because say he went in there and admitted to the murder. Got 30 years. It’s gon take you 30 years fighting on appeal… The only good thing about Ksoo’s situation now is he got my feet on the ground. […] I sat in jail for five years and three months.”
