“She has changed a lot because she became a mother in that time span, and that certainly changes you. But this woman has always been magic. Philosophically, the way she operates is on another level. She is the most charming and genuine person on Earth. Her energy is unmatched—one of a kind. I just adore her.”

Further discussing their relationship, Rocky shared some of their favorite things to do together. “We have so many of the same interests,” he said. “We were addicted to watching documentaries, like the Bob Marley one. Watching films together is so fun. We must’ve watched El Cantante 15 times.”

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna started dating back in 2020, shortly after the start of the Coronavirus pandemic. Rihanna welcomed her first child with Rocky, a son named RZA, back in 2022. After that, they had their second son, Riot, in 2023 and their first daughter, Rocki, in 2025.

Other artists to speak with W Magazine about Rihanna included Mary J. Blige, Pharrell Williams, Mariah Carey, and SZA, among others. Speaking about the iconic singer, Blige said, “Rihanna completely raised the bar and elevated the game. She is a fashion icon. She was dropping smashes back-to-back and bringing more awareness to dancehall mixed with R&B.” Boiling her impact down to a single sentence, Williams described her as a “force.”

For the cover of W Magazine, Rihanna posed alongside her daughter, Rocki. When she shared the cover on Instagram, fans celebrated in the comments section. “She is wonderful. I want to hold her and read her fantastic stories of joy and victory. Beautiful baby gurrr,” one user wrote. Another added: “What’s better than one cover girl? Two cover girls!!”

The Just Don x Air Jordan 2 was a statement piece during Booker’s Kentucky days, with pairs selling for upwards of $1,000 on the resale market. Consequently, the decision to recreate that energy on his own signature shoe feels completely intentional.

The Nike Book 2 “Just Don” PE dresses the entire silhouette in a tonal royal blue. Furthermore, it features a quilted leather upper that directly mirrors Don C’s original Air Jordan 2 design. The Swoosh also receives the same blue treatment, keeping everything monochromatic throughout.

Additionally, Booker shared the shoe ahead of a playoff game, which only amplified the moment. Book previewed the PE ahead of a playoff matchup, giving the shoe an even bigger stage.

Meanwhile, this is just the latest in a long line of Book 2 PEs Booker has been rotating through the 2026 season. Each one tells a different story from his career. This one, however, feels the most personal of all.

The Just Don x Air Jordan 2 remains one of the most beloved Jordan Brand collabs of its era. Seeing it reborn on Booker’s signature shoe closes a full circle.

Nike Book 2 PE “Just Don”

The Nike Book 2 “Just Don” PE is a head-to-toe royal blue statement piece. The quilted leather upper directly mirrors the diamond stitching pattern found on Don C’s iconic 2015 Air Jordan 2 collaboration.

The Swoosh, laces, tongue, midsole, and outsole all match in the same saturated blue, creating a completely monochromatic look. The quilted texture gives the low-top silhouette a premium, almost luxury feel that stands apart from standard performance basketball footwear.

It’s a shoe built on nostalgia both for a landmark sneaker collab and for Booker’s own college days at Kentucky, where he first wore those original Just Don 2s.

News of Rihanna and Rocki’s W Magazine cover comes just a few weeks after a woman named Ivana Lisette Ortiz allegedly fired multiple rounds at her property in Los Angeles. Reportedly, Rihanna, her mother, A$AP Rocky, their kids, and staff members were home at the time of the shooting. Fortunately, nobody was injured.

Ortiz is now facing charges of attempted murder, use of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and shooting into an inhabited dwelling with enhancements.

Following years of antisemitic antics, West has been working to repair his relationship with the Jewish community in recent months. Back in January, he published a full-page apology in the Wall Street Journal. “I lost touch with reality,” he admitted at the time. “Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret. Some of the people I love the most, I treated the worst. You endured fear, confusion, humiliation, and the exhaustion of trying to have someone who was, at times, unrecognizable. Looking back, I became detached from my true self. In that fractured state, I gravitated toward the most destructive symbol I could find, the swastika, and even sold T-shirts bearing it.”

Kanye West Canceled Concerts

Earlier this month, the Home Office of the United Kingdom blocked West from traveling to London to headline Wireless Festival. West tried to resolve that situation by offering to meet with representatives from the Jewish community in London. “To Those I’ve Hurt: I’ve been following the conversation around Wireless and want to address it directly. My only goal is to come to London and present a show of change, bringing unity, peace, and love through my music,” he wrote in a statement. “I know words aren’t enough – I’ll have to show change through my actions. If you’re open, I’m here. With Love, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.” In the end, organizers canceled the event altogether.

After that, he postponed a performance in Marseille amid rumors that the French government was going to stop him from traveling there as well. “I know it takes time to understand the sincerity of my commitment to make amends. I take full responsibility for what’s mine but I don’t want to put my fans in the middle of it. My fans are everything to me. Looking forward to the next shows. See you at the top of the globe,” West wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Twitch streamer BigMonRaph also visited the structure yesterday. At one point during his stream, Drake tuned in and gifted him 1,000 subscriptions. This earned a big reaction from the internet personality, who immediately began to jump around and shout with excitement, as seen in a clip shared by @FearedBuck.

BigMonRaph was one of many to break off a piece of the structure in hopes of finding the release date. He was unsuccessful, meaning that fans still have to wait a bit longer to get the answers they’re hoping for. According to the Canadian MC, the wait will be well worth it, and the LP is “BOUT TO PLAY INFINTESEMALLY.”

Who Is Featured On Drake’s ICEMAN?

Anthony Fantano previously announced that ICEMAN would be dropping sometime over the weekend, but evidently, that was not the case. DJ Akademiks later slammed Fatano for this and demanded that everyone just allow the rollout to happen at its own pace.

“Ice Man this.. Ice Man that…. Every body just stfu and watch this movie play out,” he tweeted. “Enjoy the process as fans like me. Even if u a hater by now u done turned into a fan with speculating.”

Amid all the hype surrounding the upcoming album, many supporters have been speculating about exactly what they can expect. This is especially true when it comes to potential features. Young Thug, for example, recently took to his Instagram to repost Drake’s impressive ice structure.

This quickly led to theories that the YSL founder would be featured on the new album, though for now, that remains unconfirmed. Other rumored features include Sexyy Red, 21 Savage, and more.

Police originally arrested D4vd, last Thursday. It had been over seven months since discovering Rivas’ remains in the trunk of his car. The following Monday, prosecutors announced that they were charging him with first-degree murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains.

“Celeste was just a child, under 14 years old, when David Burke allegedly engaged in repeated lewd and lascivious sexual relations with her,” District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said in a press release. “But Burke’s actions did not allegedly stop there. When she threatened to expose his criminal conduct and devastate his musical career, Burke allegedly murdered her, cut up her body and stuffed her body in two bags that were placed in the front trunk of his car. There the dismembered body sat for over four months decomposing until it was found at a tow yard on Sept. 8, 2025. This horrific and gruesome murder committed by the charged sexual predator is shocking and appalling. To Celeste’s loved ones, we will get the justice you seek and deserve.”

Did D4vd Plead Not Guilty?

D4vd entered his not guilty plea on Monday, just hours after the charges were announced. His legal team has already requested a preliminary hearing within the next 10 days.

For the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas, D4vd could end up facing the death penalty or a life sentence without parole due to “special circumstances” surrounding the charges. They include the “lying in wait” nature of the alleged killing, the financial motivation, and the fact that Rivas is considered a witness to the lewd acts charge. Prosecutors will decide whether they will seek the death penalty or a life sentence without parole at a later date.

Fans have been trying to melt the ice as quickly as possible in an attempt to get to the release date. It has been an impressive way for the artist to engage with his audience. The fans are ready for the album, and they are going to great lengths to make sure they are able to listen to it.

With that being said, Drake has been keeping a watchful eye on the hype. He sees all of the fans flocking to his installation, and he is looking to make them all very happy people, very soon.

In fact, the artist took to social media, where he offered a prediction about ICEMAN that is going to get the fans excited. “THIS ALBUM BOUT TO PLAY INFINTESEMALLY KNOW DAT,” Drake said.

Drake’s “ICEMAN” Is Almost Here

If this is true, then that means that Drake has a ton of hits on this album. It has been a while since the artist has had a true smash. Following the beef, a hit record could very well change people’s minds. It’s the best way to get revenge on those who declared him dead.

With that being said, there is still a lot that is unknown about this album. We don’t know who is going to be featured. Furthermore, we also don’t know which songs are going to make the cut. It has been almost a year since the release of “What Did I Miss?” This means we could see a completely new batch of songs make the cut.

There has also been a lack of singles over the past few months. We imagine Drake would want to beef up his rollout with a new song. This would get fans excited and would add an extra layer of hype to the project. Whatever the case may be, things are getting interesting.

This isn’t the only accomplishment Drake has to celebrate these days, either. Earlier this month, he also broke his own personal streaming record on Spotify. He reached a whopping 88.74 million monthly listeners on the platform. This is more monthly listeners than any other rapper has had in the past. His previous record was 88.71 million monthly listeners.

Before that, it was reported that Drake is on track to have the biggest streaming year for a rapper ever. He’s already surpassed 5 billion streams on Spotify so far this year.

Drake ICEMAN Release Date

News of Drizzy’s latest achievement comes as his fans continue to patiently await his ninth studio album, ICEMAN. At the time of writing, he’s yet to announce an official release date for the project. Yesterday (April 20), however, he unveiled a massive ice installation in his hometown of Toronto.

It’s in the parking lot of the Bond Hotel, and apparently, the release date of the long-awaited LP is hidden inside. Reportedly, the structure should melt in roughly a week, finally giving supporters the answers they’ve been anticipating for months.

As expected, countless curious fans have flocked to the structure since it was unveiled. One group even managed to start a fire on top of it in hopes of speeding up the melting process. Sadly, this resulted in local police blocking the structure off for the time being due to public safety concerns.

Fans shared supportive messages for Cardi in the comments section. “You promised to give us a good tour instead you gave us a spectacular tour. You absolutely killed every show,” one user wrote. Another added: “Thank you for coming to LA kia forum. Awesome show I had so much fun. Feb 15 was the best day ever for me.”

Cardi embarked on the Little Miss Drama tour back in February, just months after releasing her second studio album, Am I The Drama? On the road, she brought out several notable guests, including Megan Thee Stallion, Meek Mill, Fetty Wap, Lil’ Kim, T.I., Missy Elliott, and more.

Cardi B’s Atlanta Concerts

The tour’s conclusion came with additional drama, as Cardi threatened to cancel her final show at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. She accused the venue’s employees of being “disrespectful” to her team. “I’m pissed off right now, I’m not going to lie. This arena been playing a lot of f—ng games with me. This will be the last time I’m ever in this b—h,” she said on stage. “Next time, I’m having my concert in the parking lot, b—h! I’m tired of y’all playing with me. This is y’all f—ng second time.
