Fans in the comments section of the post were loving the outfit. “It should cost a billion to look this good,” one user wrote. Another added: “Her and Zendaya will be studied for centuries!!!”

Teyana Taylor’s appearance at Coachella comes after she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards, earlier this year. At the event, she lost out to Amy Madigan, who took home the award for her role in Weapons. On the television broadcast, Taylor could be seen celebrating Madigan’s achievement, which some fans weren’t happy with.

Afterward, she took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the backlash. “The world holds so much misery that miserable hearts forget the face of happiness,” she wrote. “They grow comfortable being sore losers, so when they see real sportsmanship it unsettles them! like holy water touching a demon. Because clapping for someone else’s victory requires something many people never learned…how to win with grace & pure joy, and how to lose with grace, chin up & dignity.”

While Taylor didn’t win Best Supporting Actress, One Battle After Another did win Best Picture, Best Director (Paul Thomas Anderson), Best Supporting Actor (Sean Penn), and Best Casting.

Some people, including AllStar Jr, are saying that J Prince Jr. had a hand in this situation escalating. Because of that, he’s speaking out against all of the rumors, attempting to clear his name for good.

One of his posts on social media to address this includes a direct response to AllStar Jr. As caught by DJ Akademiks, JR called out Prince Jr. for allegedly fleeing the scene of the crime. Essentially, JR is claiming that Prince Jr. was involved in jumping him and trying to steal his jewelry.

The label founder would also post a lengthy paragraph on his Instagram Story to share why he was at the same restaurant by happenstance.

“First off I went to the restaurant by ‘myself’ to meet OG 3 for his birthday dinner. I didn’t have not one of my guys with me and everyone who was [there] was there organically to celebrate the homie birthday. I didn’t know [AllSatr JR] was there.”

Additionally, he says that he wouldn’t harm “a child” and how “that lil boy loves me to death.” We assume here he’s referring to AllStar JR as well. He concludes by encouraging everyone to tell the actual truth while wishing NBA Ben 10 and the other victim a speedy recovery.

As for the JR angle, he made a post yesterday that suggests he allegedly shot Ben 10. He claims he was the man being beat up in the fight and who subsequently pulled out a gun and started shooting to fend people off. The caption of his viral post read, “Had To Shoot To The D And Get New Ice Cuz My Mans Ben 10 Took Some Of My Stuff To The Hospital With Him…”

He also wrote, “Thought He Was Mob Ties [crossing fingers emoji] Til I Shot His A*s A Few Times.”

Thugger has a large catalog of hits that he can pull from, and as you can imagine, he made sure to give his fans a lot to be excited about. He performed some incredible songs, including “Hot,” which is arguably the most significant hit of his career.

The fans were gathering around to participate in a mosh pit. As it turns out, there were some very famous faces in the crowd during Thug’s performance, and he was quick to point them out. However, he was also quick to make sure that everyone was okay and having themselves a good time.

Two of the famous people he spotted were North West and Teyana Taylor. In the clip below, you can see that he asks North where her parents are before attempting to protect her from the mosh pit. He does the same with Taylor, and it made for a sweet moment.

Young Thug Helps North & Teyana

Given what North West has been accomplishing as of late, you could say that in a few years from now, she could be next when it comes to performing at Coachella. She has proven to be a talented producer at a young age. She is also making some interesting songs that fit into the current underground rap meta.

As for Young Thug, fans are eager to see what happens next with the artist. His last album wasn’t the hit fans were hoping for. However, with the pressure off of him, perhaps he can come back with a project that better suits his strengths.

The Coachella performance was a resounding success, which just goes to show that Thug’s still got it. Clearly, he is hungry to show the fans that he is still very much here.

50 Cent and Uncle Murda aren’t the first artists to take issue with Gucci Mane’s alleged role in Pooh Shiesty’s arrest. RXKNephew and RXKZeroTheGod teamed up for the single, “Dear Gucci,” earlier this month. On the song, they express their disappointment in the rapper they once idolized.

Pooh Shiesty’s Arrest

Authorities arrested Pooh Shiesty for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane at gunpoint, last week. In doing so, they claimed he forced Gucci to release him from a contract with 1017 Records while organizing a “coordinated takeover” of a Dallas music studio on January 10, 2026. His father, Big30, and six other co-conspirators are also facing charges.

Shiesty’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, recently spoke with reporters after his unsuccessful bond hearing. In doing so, he downplayed the validity of the alleged evidence against his client. “What we didn’t hear today was [that] there is no contract — this mystery contract — they have no contract. They have no video of this alleged signing of a contract. They have no guns, no jewelry — they have none of that physical evidence,” he said. “What they have is allegedly five individuals, one of them being a very well-known individual, that is allegedly cooperating with the government and making these allegations…” For now, Shiesty will remain behind bars while awaiting trial.

Gucci Mane ended up seemingly addressing the drama with a new track titled “Crash Dummy.” He raps on the song: “I thought it was a business meeting, but it was a set up … Tell the truth, you went out like a real crash dummy / And after all that, boy, you still signed to me.”

Moreover, NBC 4 New York even reported several of Jordan Jr.’s loved ones had agreed to co-sign the bond. They were willing to put up their properties and do whatever else necessary to satisfy the total.

However, that was only going to happen if prosecutors didn’t step in to appeal the ruling. As of Friday, April 10, they did just that. As a result, Karl Jordan Jr. will remain behind bars as they look to overturn his acquittal of two federal murder counts.

Jordan Jr. is also awaiting trial on separate drug charges, which he has plead not guilty to already.

Jam Master Jay’s Murder Case

This case is in the position it is to begin with due to a massive shift back in December 2025. Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall deemed the government’s case against Jordan Jr. as “impermissibly speculative.” Because of that, she granted his motion for acquittal.

She said in part, “After a review of the trial record, the court finds that the government’s theories of Jordan’s drug-related motive to kill [Jay] or drug offense-related motive to use a firearm are impermissibly speculative and just conjecture. Jordan has met the heavy burden [under federal rules] to be granted a judgment of acquittal.”

Ronald Washington, the other man convicted of killing Jam Master Jay in 2002, hasn’t been given the chance to even sniff freedom. The guilty ruling on him still stands. In sum, Judge DeArcy Hall feels there’s a more concrete case against Washington.

As for what the countdown could lead to, they may plan to announce the official schedule, having only confirmed the tour by name thus far. It’s also possible they’ll jump straight into presale ticket availability along with the schedule. Additionally, it remains unclear whether any other artists will be supporting them on the road. For now, fans will have to wait until Tuesday afternoon to see what the two singers have in store.

A post shared by BROWN (@chrisbrownofficial)

Chris Brown and Usher announced The Raymond and Brown Tour on their Instagram pages, last week. To do so, they shared a cinematic trailer showing the two riding motorcycles while alerting fans to the tour.

Fans have already flooded Brown and Usher’s comments section to express their excitement. “Gas prices are increasing, we might go to war, talks of a recession, people in other countries are dying….and here tf I am waiting on these tickets! Lord pls don’t judge me,” one user joked. Another added: “At least 3-4 nights in every city in stadiums only, PLEASE.”

Brown and Usher have already collaborated several times over the years. Their most popular song together was “New Flame” in 2014, which also featured Rick Ross. Reflecting on that track in a recent video on Instagram, Usher said: “One of my favorite music collaborations where I was a feature on the song and the video was Chris Brown’s ‘New Flame.’ Everything about it.. the dance, everything.”

Drizzy has been a key figure in recent Raptors playoff runs. When they won the championship back in 2019, Drake was there every step of the way. While the Raptors aren’t exactly favorites to do anything this season, the artist can at least celebrate his team’s recent triumph.

As it turns out, the artist is looking to use his proximity to the Raptors as part of his rollout for ICEMAN. We say this because on Sunday, Drake’s customary seats at the Scotiabank Arena had a special look to them. These two courtside seats were covered in icicles. Of course, this is a very direct reference to his upcoming album, ICEMAN.

Drake Prepares for ICEMAN

For months now, Drake has been teasing this album. Unfortunately, concrete updates have been few and far between. Fans have been looking for answers, and with this latest stunt at Scotiabank Arena, it appears as though we could be getting those updates very soon.

There was a sense that ICEMAN could drop during the winter. Now, the Spring has sprung, and the album has yet to arrive. With this in mind, there is a feeling that perhaps the Summer could be the right time for the album. Or perhaps this will be yet another Springtime release.

Whatever the case may be, it looks as though Drake is putting the finishing touches on his album, and he wants to get the fans hyped up. He has not released a solo album since 2023’s For All The Dogs. After a turbulent couple of years, it is time for the comeback album to be unleashed.

This is probably the most pressure Drake has faced in his entire career, and the hip-hop world wants to see how he responds.

Nike is opening the SoHo store at 611 Broadway, across the street from Adidas, in Kith’s former temporary location. The new address keeps Nike firmly planted in one of the world’s most important retail neighborhoods. The move signals the brand’s continued commitment to a physical SoHo presence.

The original Nike SoHo flagship at 529 Broadway officially closed on January 10, 2026, ending a nearly decade-long tenure. IKEA purchased the 529 Broadway building for $213 million, forcing Nike to find a new home in the neighborhood. The new location at 611 Broadway is Nike’s answer.

Nike’s SoHo stores have always been more than just retail. The original SoHo flagship filled five stories in a 55,000-square-foot space and was as much a place to play as to shop. Whether the new location will match that scale remains to be seen. But the brand’s return to the neighborhood also sends a clear message.

SoHo is one of the most competitive retail corridors in the world. Nike’s presence there directly across from Adidas raises the stakes. April 16th is shaping up to be a significant day for sneaker culture in New York.

Nike Store SoHo

SoHo has long been one of the most important streets in global sneaker and streetwear culture. Broadway between Houston and Canal is home to flagship stores from nearly every major brand in the industry.

Nike’s new location at 611 Broadway sits directly across the street from Adidas and occupies Kith’s former temporary space. The original Nike SoHo store was famous for its experiential design, featuring five floors of multisport and high-tech athletic hubs.

The closure of that location left a significant gap in the neighborhood’s sneaker landscape. The new 611 Broadway store is Nike’s move to fill it.
