6ix9ine Uses Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” To Diss Lil Durk

Cole Blake — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:32:29 +0000

6ix9ine called out Lil Durk while livestreaming with N3on and Adin Ross following his release from prison, last week. In doing so, he brought up Durk’s own legal trouble and referenced Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” to point out how the tables have turned in recent years.

“I’ve learned that everybody who has talked sh*t about me has an opinion until they’re in your situation,” 6ix9ine says. “Pooh Shiesty is now in a situation, Gucci Mane is now in a situation, Lil Durk is now in a situation.”

From there, he brings up Durk’s contribution to Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later.” “Who is laughing now and crying later?” he asks. “You see how the same thing they threw at me?” On the song, Durk raps: “Can you not play that lil’ boy in the club? ‘Cause we do not listen to rats.”

Lil Durk’s Murder-For-Hire Case

Lil Durk has been behind bars since his arrest in 2024, when authorities charged him with murder-for-hire. They alleged that he orchestrated the attempted murder of Quando Rondo two years prior. He has pleaded not guilty.

Earlier this month, Durk discussed how being in jail has impacted his mental health in a post on social media. “I just wanna give y’all an update on my mental, my mind state. I’ve just been reading and getting into these books, just working on my patience,” he said. He further cited Elaine Brown, Fred Hampton, and the works of other “revolutionaries who been through something and stand for something that a lot of people don’t know of or forgot about.”

He continued: “It’s just been sitting on my heart lately to just save this generation, save these kids. They don’t deserve it. I’m just tired of being a pawn for the culture. Just entertaining it and being ignorant. I wanna change the world around to being positive… For these kids, we gotta be their heroes. They gotta look up to us in a positive way. A lot of people ain’t gonna like it. If you can’t make money off of it, they ain’t gonna like it.”

6ix9ine Roasts Young Thug, Playboi Carti & More For “Mysterious” Personas

Caroline Fisher — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 15:53:45 +0000

6ix9ine is one rapper who never hesitates to speak his mind, no matter who might be listening. During a recent livestream with Adin Ross and N3on, for example, he shared his unfiltered take on artists who try to act mysterious during streams instead of actually promoting their music. According to him, this includes Playboi Carti and Young Thug.

“Them n****s be over here acting like Rey Mysterio and sh*t,” he claimed, as seen in a clip shared by Akademiks TV. “That n***a was tryna promote the n***** song, came out with the baby oil trying to act viral and sh*t. They called him a rat, and he literally froze. He literally froze. […] I walk sh*t down, n***a, f*ck is you talking about.”

This is far from all 6ix9ine had to say during the stream, however. He also weighed in on Gucci Mane allegedly snitching on Pooh Shiesty ahead of his arrest. He argued that the rapper had no choice but to talk, accusing his wife Keyshia Ka’oir of being unfaithful the last time he was behind bars.

“While Gucci Mane was locked up, his wife was being unfaithful to him,” he alleged. “She was f*cking Yo Gotti.”

6ix9ine has also been wrapped up in his own fair share of legal issues lately. Just last week, he was released from federal prison following a three-month stay. Footage of him walking out of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn later surfaced online. In it, he flaunted a SpongeBob SquarePants figurine that Nicolás Maduro allegedly signed.

“That s**t is hard,” he declared at the time. “This s**t is gas, I ain’t gon’ lie. Y’all had 90 days ’til I’m back, y’all got all the time ’til that day.”

6ix9ine was behind bars for violating the terms of his supervised release. It was the second time he went to prison for this. He previously served over a month in prison after pleading guilty to five violations in 2024. Some of these violations included traveling to Las Vegas and Sarasota without permission, testing positive for drugs, and more.

Dear Gucci – Song By RXKNephew & RXKZeroTheGod

RXKNephew and RXKZeroTheGod teamed up for a new song titled, “Dear Gucci,” addressed to the iconic rapper, Gucci Mane. The move comes after authorities arrested Pooh Shiesty for allegedly kidnapping Gucci at gunpoint and forcing him to sign papers releasing him from his contract with 1017 Records. Throughout the song, the two artists reflect on their love for Gucci Mane and disappointment that he’d allegedly snitch on Shiesty. “F*ck you tell on Pooh Shiesty like that? … I’m very disappointed in you,” Nephew raps. “Never thought I’d have to diss Gucci smh,” RXKZeroTheGod wrote in the comments section of the track on YouTube.

Release Date: April 5, 2026

21 Savage Sparks Debate For Bumping Pooh Shiesty Amid Gucci Mane News

Zachary Horvath — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 15:33:58 +0000

Pooh Shiesty shook the foundation of the hip-hop world last week due to his arrest in Dallas. A huge reason why is because of the allegations tied to his handcuffing. If you didn’t hear, government officials allege that Shiesty and eight other individuals orchestrated a robbery and kidnapping on Gucci Mane.

They also allege that it was all to get the Memphis native out of his deal with Gucci’s label, 1017 Global Music. These bits to the arrest remain allegations for now, but folks in hip-hop and those nearby have expressed disappointment in Shiesty.

However, that feeling doesn’t seem like it could be applied to 21 Savage. The UK-born MC recorded himself listening and rapping along to his former collaborator’s comeback single “FDO.”

The clips, caught by Live Bitez, have been making the rounds on social media and it’s stirring up some debate. If you remember, during the rollout of Savage’s WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS? project, the Atlanta-based talent started a campaign denouncing the streets.

It was a divisive stance at the time, with fellow rappers like Blueface, Fivio Foreign, and 6ix9ine pushing back. 21 Savage explained what he meant by “f*ck the streets” amid the hate. “When I say f the streets I’m talking about the part that gave me trauma and made me can’t sleep at night. If you ain’t tired of that part you ain’t been through it!”

What’s The Latest On Pooh Shiesty’s Arrest?

It’s worth noting that Pooh Shiesty was onboard with 21’s message, going as far as to say the streets “traumatized” him. But with the allegations being what they are against the “Back in Blood” songwriter, some folks feel 21 Savage is picking and choosing when to stand by his word.

“I guess it’s only F the streets when your album don’t move [laughing emoji],” one Instagram user replies. “I thought it was f the streets,” another echoes.

A third adds, “YN’s these rappers will have you in prison or the grave [face palming emoji] F the streets listening to street music corny.”

Others are coming to Savage’s defense, stating that there’s nothing wrong with him enjoying a song most hip-hop fans have gravitated towards.

It’s certainly an interesting debate and one we could see continuing if certain people come across these clips.

As for the latest on Pooh Shiesty and his arrest, the feds claim the victims overheard him discussing “rec time” with his parole officer. This allegedly occurred shortly before the “armed takeover” ensued. Shiesty had been on house arrest after his release from prison last October.

Moreover, an FBI agent said that there is no hard evidence like surveillance footage that proves Shiesty nor Big30 carried a gun or threatened Gucci Mane. But even with this uncertainty a judge found probable cause to move the case forward.

UK Government Faces Increased Pressure To Block Kanye West From Wireless Festival

Cole Blake — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 15:06:29 +0000

The government in the United Kingdom is facing mounting pressure to prevent Kanye West from performing at Wireless Festival in July, when he’s scheduled to headline the three-day event. After Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticized the music festival’s decision to platform West on Sunday, several other prominent voices have spoken out on the issue.

Sajid Javid labeled the situation “disgraceful” in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “Yes, he has spoken about mental health challenges,” he admitted. “That should be met with sympathy. But declaring yourself a Nazi and promoting a song called Heil Hitler should have consequences – and those consequences don’t include being given a stage to spread your hate to thousands of young Londoners.”

He added: “The organisers have a small window to still do the right thing and disinvite him. If they don’t, just like I did with hate preachers, I’m certain the Home Secretary will want to use her powers and block Kanye West from the UK.”

Piers Morgan also weighed in on the site, posting: “Shouldn’t even be a debate. Kanye’s Hitler-loving, Nazi-slathering, Jew-hating bullsh*t should be disqualifying for appearances at any music festival.”

The calls to drop Kanye West from Wireless Festival come after several sponsors have already pulled out from the event. “Pepsi has decided to withdraw its sponsorship of Wireless Festival,” the company said in a statement on Sunday.

Kanye West’s Apology

Kanye West published a full-page apology in the Wall Street Journal, earlier this year. In doing so, he took accountability for his years of antisemitic actions. “I lost touch with reality. Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret,” he wrote in the piece. “In that fractured state, I gravitated toward the most destructive symbol I could find, the swastika, and even sold T-shirts bearing it.”

Last week, West performed at SoFi Stadium, marking his first live show in Los Angeles since 2021. There were calls to cancel that show as well.

PayPal Pulls Out Of Wireless Festival Over Kanye West Booking

Caroline Fisher — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 14:52:49 +0000

Kanye West has gotten wrapped up in his fair share of controversy over the years. These days, however, that’s not preventing him from booking shows. Last month, it was announced that the Grammy winner will headline all three days of London’s Wireless Festival this July.

This news earned mixed reactions from the public. The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, even recently shared his thoughts on it. He made it clear that he can’t get behind Ye headlining the fest, considering all of his past bigotries.

“It is deeply concerning Kanye West has been booked to perform at Wireless despite his previous antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism,” Starmer told The Sun. “Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted firmly wherever it appears. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe.”

Brands also decided to distance themselves from Wireless Festival shortly after Ye’s headlining role was announced. This includes Pepsi and Rockstar Energy, which withdrew sponsorships, and Diageo. Now, yet another brand has opted to cut ties with the festival due to Ye’s involvement. According to ITV News, PayPal will no longer be featured on any promotional branding for the event.

News of all the backlash over Ye headlining Wireless Festival comes shortly after the release of his new album, BULLY. The project reportedly moved 152K album-equivalent units in its first week and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Ye also performed at SoFi Stadium two nights in a row last week. Reportedly, he earned a staggering $33 million for the performances. It broke some records, too, including most tickets sold and the highest-grossing show at the Los Angeles area venue.

First In-Hand Look At Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” Is Here

Ben Atkinson — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 14:00:00 +0000

First in-hand images of the Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” are here. The shoe is dropping in about a month as a women’s exclusive and it looks as good in person as the official looks suggested.

House of Heat reports that the Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” is dropping on May 9th, 2026.

The “Mother’s Day” Jordan 11 Low is not the first time the day has inspired a Jordan release. However, this execution stands out from previous years. The white and gold combination on the Jordan 11 Low silhouette is a natural pairing. It is elegant without trying too hard.

The standout detail is the gold heart pendant hanging from the laces. It reads “My Heart” in script on the face of the charm. That kind of personal, jewelry-inspired accessory on a sneaker is a detail that elevates the entire release.

Jordan Brand has done well with women’s exclusive colorways in recent seasons. The “Mother’s Day” release continues that trend with a shoe that feels considered rather than obligatory. A white leather upper with a gold patent leather mudguard is a combination that works.

In-hand images always tell a more complete story than renders. This pair looks exactly as premium as it should. One month out, anticipation is already building. This is the kind of release that sells through quickly.

The Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” runs in a clean white leather upper with a rich gold patent leather mudguard wrapping the full perimeter. The glossy gold patent catches the light, creating a premium contrast against the bright white mesh and leather above.

White laces thread through the eyelets cleanly. The signature gold heart pendant hangs from the lace toggle, engraved with “My Heart” in elegant script. An icy translucent outsole finishes the shoe underneath, keeping the bottom clean and consistent with the Jordan 11 Low’s classic look.

As a women’s exclusive, this is a refined, occasion-worthy release built for the season. Also the retail price of the Air Jordan 11 Low “Mother’s Day” is $195.
