The claim came from Tae’s mother, who alleged online that Fletcher and Yung Miami had once fallen out over Diggs. She did not publicly provide proof of a relationship between Fletcher and Diggs, and Fletcher wasted little time rejecting the accusation.

“The internet is a sick ass place,” Fletcher wrote on X. “I’m so tired of the drama, lies and negativity. I know it’s easier to hate than love but it really gets to a f*cking point.” She continued, “On my brother yall done said so many lies about me this year it’s scary. But yall really going too far with these n*ggas I do not know. If y’all got proof POST IT! Stop f*cking lying on me especially about these n*ggas.”

Yung Miami Was Previously Linked To Diggs

Part of the allegation appears to pull from older speculation surrounding Diggs and Yung Miami. In December 2024, we reported that the two sparked dating rumors after they were spotted at the same Miami restaurant around his birthday. Yung Miami pushed back on that chatter shortly afterward. She declared herself “Young, Rich, outside, & single!!!!!” rather than confirming any romance with Diggs.

No public evidence has surfaced establishing that Fletcher dated Diggs or that a dispute with Yung Miami developed because of him. Diggs later entered a highly publicized relationship with Cardi B, with whom he shares a child. TMZ has referred to the NFL player as Cardi’s “baby daddy” while covering their relationship.

Fletcher’s response didn’t try to unpack every accusation circulating about her. Instead, she drew a simple line around the latest one. If someone is going to claim she was involved with Diggs, she wants receipts. Meanwhile, she’s been enjoying a blissful life with her longtime beau, Moneybagg Yo.

White leather covers most of the upper, keeping the base clean and simple. A glossy maroon shell wraps the toe and heel, giving the cleat some real contrast against that white. That combination ties directly into Washington’s burgundy and gold color scheme, making it an easy fit for gameday.

The Jordan 6’s classic shape translates surprisingly well into cleat form. Its rounded toe and mid-panel detailing stay largely intact, even with the thinner, performance-ready build underneath.

This follows a recent pair of Air Jordan 17 Low cleats Diggs debuted, continuing a steady run of custom Jordan silhouettes since signing with Washington. Diggs has quickly established himself as one of the league’s go-to names for standout cleat customs. Further, this pair only adds to that reputation early into his time with the team.

Since these are player-exclusive builds, there’s no retail release or price attached. They’re made specifically for Diggs to wear on the field, not for public purchase.

Stefon Diggs’ Air Jordan 6 Low “Maroon” Cleats

Diggs signed with Washington back in August, joining Jayden Daniels and the Commanders after his release from New England. Custom cleats have become one of his early signature moves with a new franchise, something he’s done at nearly every stop in his career.

Diggs has worn Jordan Brand cleats consistently since signing with the label. He works with custom artists to remix classic silhouettes into football-ready builds. The Jordan 6, 7, and 17 have all made appearances in his rotation at different points, giving him one of the deeper cleat catalogs in the league.

Function has always mattered just as much as style for Diggs specifically. Most of his customs still use a lightweight base underneath all that Jordan-inspired detailing, keeping performance intact despite the flashy look. That balance is part of what’s made his cleat game so consistent over the years, rather than just a one-off gimmick.

With a new team and a fresh set of colors to work with, expect plenty more Jordan-inspired cleats from Diggs as the season rolls on.

Bank of America also filed a claim involving Keith’s 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS. The financial institution says the estate owes about $115,000 on the vehicle. Together, the claims exceed $198,000. The filings are creditor claims against the estate, meaning the amounts are being presented for payment through the probate process. They do not, by themselves, establish that every amount will ultimately be approved or paid as submitted.

Keith Left Behind A Significant Estate

The claims arrive after creditors were formally notified to come forward during probate. In July, TMZ reported that a family member had been appointed administrator of Keith’s estate and disclosed substantial assets, including bank and money market accounts, a Mercedes-Maybach, a Lamborghini, and a 50 percent interest in a Memphis home.

His estate also includes business and music-related holdings. The filing cited interests in Shadow Tequila and an engineering studio, along with Keith’s publishing rights, music catalog, trademarks, and royalties. According to the probate documents, Keith was unmarried, had no children, and left no will.

Keith, whose legal name was Brytavious Lakeith Chambers, died June 18 at age 29. The Nashville Medical Examiner later determined that he died from the toxic effects of ketamine and mitragynine, a compound found in kratom, TMZ reported.

No credible report or official record has surfaced indicating that Quando was arrested again or returned to federal prison. The confusion likely stems from his current legal status, which is more complicated than simply being “free.”

Quando, whose legal name is Tyquian Bowman, was transferred out of federal prison and into community confinement earlier this year. Complex reported in June that Federal Bureau of Prisons records listed him under RRM Atlanta after he left FCI Edgefield in South Carolina. A BOP representative told the outlet that community confinement can include either a residential reentry center, commonly known as a halfway house, or home confinement.

Quando Is Still Completing His Federal Sentence

The move came after Quando served roughly 15 months behind bars on a federal drug conviction. He pleaded guilty in 2024 to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribute marijuana and was sentenced to 33 months. XXL reported that his sentence was later reduced by five months, clearing the way for his transfer into community confinement. His projected full release date remains Nov. 11.

That means Quando is still serving the final portion of his federal sentence under BOP supervision, but available records do not support the social media claims that he has been sent back to jail or prison.

The question came about an hour into Joe’s appearance on The Real Report with Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda. Yayo brought up Papoose’s new diss record “Jezebel” and noted that Remy already had records with Big Pun and Fat Joe before her relationship with Papoose. Joe immediately explained why he generally stays out of the former couple’s conflict.

“Her daughter’s my goddaughter,” he said. “I make it a habit of not getting involved between them because I can’t have no problem with my goddaughter. I love her too much, and I don’t want her father and me to be going at it like that. So, I try my best to mind my business.”

He did, however, answer the songwriting question directly. “Personally, Fat Joe has never seen nobody write Remy’s rhymes, ’til this day,” Joe said. “She just did ten songs this week. She’s barred up. This week! So, I don’t know what to tell you.”

Joe Doesn’t Want Their Feud To Affect His Goddaughter

Papoose reignited the ghostwriting conversation with “Jezebel,” released earlier this month amid his ongoing divorce from Remy. Complex reported that the track includes Papoose claiming he secretly wrote some of his estranged wife’s raps while publicly praising her abilities. Remy had already rejected that narrative months earlier. On April’s “W.Y.F.L.,” she pushed back against claims that Papoose had ghostwritten her material.

Joe avoided weighing in on the rest of their marital dispute. He repeatedly returned to his relationship with their daughter, Reminisce, emphasizing that he wants to remain in her life without creating problems with either parent. He even joked that he has more photos of his goddaughter in his room than he does of his own children.

That boundary leaves Joe unwilling to referee the divorce, but on one specific question, he did not hesitate. Whatever Papoose says happened behind closed doors, Joe says that across his decades of knowing and recording with Remy, he has never personally seen anyone write her bars.

“We went through every, and I can say this with confidence, we went through every single piece of evidence,” the juror said, explaining that the panel reviewed two thick exhibit binders along with the digital evidence. He said jurors eventually asked for the material electronically because crowding around the physical binders was slowing the process. “So those saying the jury was— dude, I’m proud of the job we did. We went through everything. We were meticulous, bro.”

One of the biggest questions centered on how much control prosecutors actually proved Durk exercised over the men accused of carrying out the plot. The juror pointed to evidence that Durk had allegedly instructed people not to book flights under names connected to him, yet those involved still traveled under their real names. “So, how much authority does he actually have?” the juror asked.

That doubt cut directly into prosecutors’ theory that Durk was calling the shots behind an organized retaliation against Quando Rondo. The government accused him of arranging the 2022 attack that killed Rondo’s cousin, Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson.

Some Of The Government’s Evidence Didn’t Land

The juror also discussed a DJ Akademiks interview that prosecutors presented as part of their case against Durk. “The podcast, if anything, was like a funny little anecdote that I guess the prosecution was making it sound like he kind of snitched on himself on that one,” the juror told Nash. He suggested the comments could instead be understood through “meme culture” and the kind of material created for clicks. “It didn’t really weigh on me,” he added.

Durk was acquitted on all five counts on Sept. 11. Co-defendants Deandre Wilson and David Lindsey were also cleared of the murder-for-hire charges, though both were convicted on stalking-related counts. However, the acquittal has not ended Durk’s legal troubles. He remains in custody ahead of a separate racketeering-related trial scheduled for Oct. 5.

A.R.I. financed OVO through convertible notes issued in 2025. In a September statement tied to a 391-page Ontario court filing, A.R.I. said OVO owed C$5,037,977 as of July 31, including interest and other amounts the lender says are required under their agreements. The firm also claims it was never told about negotiations with Authentic and Vince, was not asked for a payoff amount, and learned of the completed transaction after it closed.

“We received no portion of the transaction proceeds,” A.R.I. said. The firm added that it has repeatedly sought information about how its rights were treated during the sale and intends to pursue those answers in court.

The August 24 transaction gave Authentic a 51 percent stake in OVO’s intellectual property, while Drake retained 44 percent and Vince acquired the remaining five percent. Vince separately took control of OVO’s operating business. According to the transaction documents Vince filed with the SEC, the deal was structured so that defined OVO debt would be repaid before Vince acquired the operating companies.

That does not mean the SEC has accused Drake or OVO of wrongdoing or opened an enforcement case based on the available records. The agency enters the story because Vince is publicly traded and filed the OVO transaction documents with the SEC, creating a public record that can now be compared with A.R.I.’s allegations.

The Court Fight Predates OVO’s Sale

The disagreement began well before Authentic and Vince entered the picture. Billboard Canada reported that OVO sued A.R.I. in Toronto on June 2 after the lender sought an additional make-whole payment after repaying part of its investment. OVO argued that the contractual conditions triggering the fee had not been met.

A.R.I. filed its own case in British Columbia on June 11, arguing the make-whole provision was part of the original financing deal and was intended to guarantee a minimum return if the notes were repaid or terminated before maturity. No court has ruled that A.R.I.’s interpretation is correct.

The lender’s newer filing adds the OVO sale to that existing fight. For now, A.R.I. continues to seek payment and information about the transaction, while the dispute over what OVO still owes remains unresolved in Canadian court.

The reception tracks with Drake’s long-running connection to Houston, a city he has referenced throughout his career and visited regularly. Area 29 is already among the local spots that have hosted him before, so the latest appearance doubled as something of a return.

Area 29 Has Hosted Drake Before

This was not his first late-night stop at the club. Complex noted that Drake visited Area 29 in October 2024, when footage circulated of him tossing money toward dancers. Other clips from that night showed performers holding large stacks of cash after his appearance.

His latest Houston outing arrived days after the release of FOMO, the hour-long visual project Drake premiered on Sept. 15. The film mixed previously released music with new material and appearances from several familiar faces. One of those new records was “Quebec,” which received a full video following the FOMO premiere. The visual features Drake alongside Cam’ron’s famous pink Jeep while showing off pieces from his jewelry collection.

For all the activity surrounding the project, Sunday’s Area 29 appearance appeared much less formal. There was no announced performance or promotional event attached to the stop, just another unexpected Houston visit from an artist who has treated the city like a second home for much of his career.

The Air Jordan 14 Low “Ostrich” and Air Jordan 16 “Elephant” lead things off on October 3rd. Both come dressed in black, with the 14 built around textured ostrich-style leather and the 16 leaning on a heavier, elephant-inspired look.

November 7th brings the back half of the pack. The Air Jordan 17 Low “Stingray” arrives in black and anthracite, using a smooth stingray-style texture across the upper. The Air Jordan 15 “Snake” follows right alongside it, wrapping the shoe in a subtle snakeskin pattern over that same dark base.

Each pair keeps things monochromatic, letting the textures do most of the visual work instead of leaning on color. It’s a quieter approach compared to Jordan Brand’s louder holiday releases this year.

Every shoe in the pack ships with branded packaging, a detail Jordan Brand has reserved for its more premium releases in the past. That packaging alone signals how seriously the brand is treating this drop compared to a standard retro rerelease.

At $245, every pair in this pack sits well above typical retro pricing, even for these specific silhouettes. That gap reflects the elevated materials used across the entire lineup, rather than any added performance features.

Air Jordan “Black Pack”

This pack stands out mostly because of which models it’s built around. The Air Jordan 15 and 16 in particular have barely gotten any attention in recent years, making their inclusion here a genuine surprise for longtime collectors.

Pairing those two with the more familiar 14 and 17 Low gives the pack a nice mix of nostalgia and rarity. It’s rare to see four late-era Jordans grouped together under one unified theme like this.

Premium materials and a higher-than-usual price point suggest Jordan Brand is treating this release as more of a luxury offering than a standard retro drop. Limited stock seems likely given that positioning.

With two separate release dates spread a month apart, collectors chasing the full set will need to stay patient before completing the lineup.

This chain ties directly into Drake’s Iceman album. Jeweler Alex Moss designed a run of similar owl pieces for members of Drake’s OVO camp around the album’s rollout, each one engraved with a line referencing the record’s icy theme.

Drake himself debuted one of these chains in the music video for “National Treasures,” giving fans their first real look at the design before it started popping up elsewhere. Seeing Yeat with a matching piece suggests he’s now part of that same exclusive group receiving them.

Diamond-covered owl chains have become one of Drake’s signature ways of showing love to people in his circle. Getting one often signals a real connection to the OVO camp, rather than just a passing collaboration.

Yeat isn’t new to standout jewelry moments either. Moss has also designed custom pieces for him separately, including a Minions chain. That existing relationship makes this OVO gift feel like a natural extension of work Moss was already doing for him.

Yeat’s OVO Chain

Drake has built a reputation over the years for gifting expensive, custom jewelry to artists close to him. DJ Khaled and Vybz Kartel have all received similar OVO-branded pieces in the past.

Each of those gifts tends to carry its own personal detail, whether that’s an engraved phrase or a design tied to the recipient’s own persona. Yeat’s version connects him directly to Drake’s current album cycle.

Images like this keep fueling conversation around who’s actually close to Drake behind the scenes. For Yeat, wearing this chain publicly only adds to that narrative. That pattern has picked up even more lately, with Drake recently handing out pink OVO chains to Stunna Sandy and Sexyy Red as well.

Overall things like this also show how jewelry impact hip-hop culture. A single chain can say more about an artist’s connections than any feature or co-sign, especially when it comes directly from someone as big as Drake.
