Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 11 Low “University Blue” is going to be released on April 18th, 2026.

The Air Jordan 11 Low remains one of Nike’s most popular models. Its sleek profile works perfectly for warmer weather. The patent leather mudguard provides that signature Jordan 11 shine. This colorway pays homage to Michael Jordan’s college days.

University Blue represents his North Carolina Tar Heels roots. Sneakerheads have been requesting this release for years. The low-cut version offers more versatility than the high-top. These will pair easily with shorts, jeans, and joggers.

The translucent outsole adds visual interest to the design. April releases typically generate strong demand on SNKRS. This colorway will likely sell out quickly across all retailers. The retail price remains accessible at standard Air Jordan pricing.

Previous UNC-inspired Jordans consistently create hype in sneaker culture. This release arrives during prime basketball season. College hoops fans will appreciate the Carolina connection. Jordan Brand continues honoring MJ’s legacy with thoughtful colorways.

The Air Jordan 11 Low “University Blue” delivers nostalgia and modern style. Mark your calendars for this April drop.

Air Jordan 11 Low “University Blue” Retail Price

The Air Jordan 11 Low “University Blue” features a clean white leather upper that covers most of the shoe’s body, creating a fresh canvas for the vibrant university blue patent leather mudguard that wraps around the lower portion of the sneaker.

The translucent blue outsole showcases the iconic herringbone traction pattern while the milky white midsole provides contrast against the bolder blue elements. White laces and textile sections on the upper keep things crisp and minimal.

Further university blue Jordan branding appears on the tongue and heel tab to tie the colorway together. The patent leather shines brilliantly and catches light beautifully, giving the shoe that premium Air Jordan 11 aesthetic that fans love.

Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $190 when they drop.

Alongside the braggadocious caption is a carousel of photos displaying her breast implants in different outfits. It’s unclear when she got the breast augmentation done, but we do have a rough estimate.

As recently as November 2025, Coi Leray asked her 1.2 million X followers which plastic surgeon is the best. “Which doctor does the best boobiessss [smiling face while sweating emoji double eye emoji],” she playfully asked per Hot 97.

The “Players” performer has been pondering moving forward with this surgery for the last couple of years. The furthest this inquiry goes back seems to be 2023 when she similarly tweeted out in October of that year, “Thinking about some new t*ts.”

Well, based on this newest caption and doing some side-by-side comparisons, it appears she’s done it within the last month.

While some fans were hesitant on her behalf due to her all-natural look, most are praising the execution. “They look so cute on her,” one person comments.

They’re the perfect size for her. I’m glad she didn’t overdo it [heart eyes emoji],” says another. A third writes, “In 2026, NORMALIZE doing whatever it is that makes YOU happy! [red heart emoji 100 emoji].”

Overall, Coi seems happy with the results and her new skin which is ultimately all that matters.

In other news regarding the 28-year-old, she’s also ringing in 2026 with Justin Laboy. The interview and media personality has been linked to femcee for the last few months, dating back to September. They are seemingly a bona fide couple with a since-deleted social media post from November confirming their relationship. Coi was quoted as saying she’s “in love” and Laboy has said that it’s been a “blessing” per Rap-Up.

The Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” continues its legendary status. This iconic colorway commemorates MJ’s famous playoff performance. The black and red color scheme never goes out of style.

However, Rodriguez’s claims came under scrutiny when text messages leaked of him asking for money from the entertainment mogul. In a social media message caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, he explained this further.

“It takes a lot of courage to move forward and put yourself out there like the way I did,” Mario Rodriguez expressed. “But Tyler Perry knows what he did. The text messages that he released the other day, they prove that Perry was sending me money after Madea. The thing that you guys got to ask yourselves is… Why? I’ll give you guys more updates as soon as we get closer to the trial. The evidence that’s going to come out is going to shock you guys.”

Rodriguez also thanked those supporting him who have reached out. In addition, he even appreciates those who aren’t on his side and have given more attention to the situation.

For those unaware, Mario Rodriguez is suing Tyler Perry for allegedly making various unwanted sexual advances towards him as recently as 2019, with one specific allegation claiming that the director grabbed his genitals. Perry has denied these allegations via his colleague Alex Spiro.

As for the Madea project that Rodriguez referred to, this is his acting role as “Frat Guy #10” in 2016’s Boo! A Madea Halloween. He claims that he met Perry in 2015 through his trainer at a gym in Los Angeles.

Elsewhere, Tyler Perry denied the other sexual assault allegations against him from Derek Dixon, who is suing him over similar accusations of unwanted advances for $260 million. Dixon starred in the Perry-led TV series The Oval.

We will see how all of these allegations play out in court. With many alleged text message exchanges flying around the Internet, folks have a lot to debate over. Both lawsuits continue to develop and move towards a potential resolution.

The clip was of an old movie called Black Sister’s Revenge, and showed the main character slapping her lover for being unfaithful. It superimposed Claressa and Pap’s faces respectively onto the characters using artificial intelligence. Later, the latter clapped back with his own A.I. video of the G-Unit mogul in a bra and tight pants dancing at a strip club.

But that’s not all. As caught by The Shade Room on Instagram, the two continued to go at it with more force. Papoose included another fake dancing video featuring Fif with a shady caption. “Why everybody keep comparing 50 to a b***h?” he wrote. “Is it because he gossip so much? Why he STILL ain’t respond to Let’s rap about it? He know he ain’t nice for real! Go apologize to Banks Chump. You need him right now!”

This was in reference to 50 Cent’s feud with Let’s Rap About It, the podcast hosted by Fabolous, Jim Jones, Maino, and Dave East. While he hinted at a response on the way, he hasn’t really clapped back at their freestyle dissing him.

As for the other side of this back and forth, 50’s latest troll wasn’t A.I.-generated. But it was still petty. It’s a skit of a fan pretending to talk to the Queens MC over a picture of Papoose, claiming that Pap’s boo Claressa Shields must have “knocked him out for New Year’s.” The fan then went on to rant against the Brooklyn rapper for allegedly clout-chasing, making fun of his appearance.

“Look what Pap posted,” 50 Cent jabbed at Papoose and his initial A.I. video. “Hahaha, that look like one of his joints all his h*e’s handsome. They tougher than him LOL.”

For those unaware, 50 Cent and Papoose’s beef’s origins are quite unclear. However, given that 50 teasingly thirsted for Pap’s former partner Remy Ma years ago, that altercation hangs in the background of their current trolling tirades.

However, some Grok users have used it for their own amusement or for more inappropriate reasons. The latter includes editing photos of real younger girls and taking their clothes off. That’s been the sad trend as of late. It won’t make these people totally nude, but that’s ultimately not the point here.

Some folks have spoken out against it in recent days, including former rapper Iggy Azalea. The Australian songwriter sounded off on Grok early this morning (Jan. 2) on her X page. “Grok seriously needs to go,” she tweeted.

A few of her followers have sided with her, but there’s quite a large number of trolls infiltrating her comments. Most are having a hard time taking her complaint seriously as they argue she’s sexualized herself in her music videos and was once a top earner on OnlyFans.

Iggy Azalea Streams With N3on

Others have mocked her call for justice by asking Grok to make funny or lewd edits of her.

Lastly, some of the backlash directed at the “Black Widow” performer could stem from her NSFW comments made on her past streams with N3on. “I’ll smack my butt if we win, only if we win,” she told the streamer as they were seemingly playing casino games. Her playful behavior led to furious rumors that she and N3on had been sleeping together.

Overall, though, this declaration from Iggy has caused quite a stir on X, one that even the AI tool has responded to.

In response to a user asking why the 35-year-old is angry, Grok replied, “Iggy Azalea seems frustrated with users misusing my image generation tool to create non-consensual explicit edits of photos, including deepfakes of celebrities like her. xAI is adding safeguards to address this.”

Via Instagram, Fif shared a screenshot of a news report about former tour violinist Brian King Joseph’s lawsuit against the Fresh Prince. In his caption, he offered a wild reaction and expressed that he was looking forward to possibly working with Smith in the future.

“WTF is going on, I got a movie I want will for, this fool just mad he got fired,” the G-Unit mogul captioned his post. Amid other 50 Cent drama happening online, he found a break to react to this bombshell lawsuit. We’ll see how it continues to develop.

That other drama relates to 50 Cent’s beefs with other big names in hip-hop, the entertainment business, and beyond. For New York rap heads, the big story is about his feud with Fabolous, Jim Jones, Maino, and Dave East, which continues to garner interest. Other recent targets include Papoose, Dame Dash, and of course, Diddy.

Why Is Will Smith Being Sued?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

For those unaware, Brian King Joseph’s lawsuit against Will Smith accuses the Philadelphia native of sexual harassment and wrongful termination. Will’s company Treyball Studios Management is also a part of this legal pursuit.

Joseph was reportedly a violinist for Smith’s “Based On A True Story” tour and alleged a specific incident when returning to his Las Vegas hotel room in March. He allegedly found a sexual note along with wipes, someone else’s HIV medication, and more. “Brian, I’ll be back no later [sic] 5:30, just us [drawn heart],” the note from “Stone F” allegedly read.

When Joseph allegedly reported this to hotel and tour staff, the latter booted him three days later. The lawsuit alleges that tour management justified this as “moving in a different direction,” whereas he claims this was retaliatory for reporting the incident.

Also, the violinist’s allegations accuse Will Smith of “grooming and priming [him] for sexual exploitation” since they met in 2024. They allegedly spent more time together alone before the tour, and Smith allegedly told him, “You and I have such a special connection, that I don’t have with anyone else.”

Brian King Joseph reportedly seeks personal and financial damages. Will Smith has reportedly not responded to these allegations at press time.

As caught by ManuWay on Twitter, he responded to artist and content creator DDG showing support to the 6ix God, Ross, and Stake. “STAKE, ADIN, & DRAKE IN 5 [100 emoji],” the Michigan creative wrote. “We’ll do it in 4,” Tehrani reportedly responded.

However, the other defendants in this situation haven’t given much of a response yet. We’ll see if that changes in the near future, although we can assume they will move against these allegations. It also comes at a very interesting time, as Drake is finishing his next solo album ICEMAN.

We will see how all of this continues to play out. With more responses, information, and debates emerging in the near future, this will be a big story to follow.

Who Is Bijan Tehrani?

For those unaware, Bijan Tehrani cofounded Stake, the largest cryptocurrency-backed casino worldwide, in 2017 alongside Ed Craven. He also cofounded Kick, the streaming platform on which Drake, Adin Ross, and many others host their sessions. Tehrani is currently based in Australia, and Forbes reportedly valued his net worth at $2.8 billion in May of last year. He launched Kick as a competitor to Twitch, which had banned Stake’s advertising on the streaming platform over concerns with consumer protections.

Since then, Stake’s profits have grown immensely, and so has the controversy. Drake’s alleged role in this civil RICO case has led to a lot of debate online from folks assuming criminal consequences or defending the lawsuit’s targets. To be clear, this civil RICO situation does not involve any federal investigations or criminal repercussions. As folks continue to discuss this massive development, we will see how it plays out in court amid other class action lawsuits against them.

However, there is another shortcut to more recognition. That would be a co-sign from a bigger artist. Drake, love him or hate him, has put his fans and other casual listeners on by joining rappers and singers on the come up for a song. Or he’ll hit the musician with follow on social media.

He’s just done this with a beloved underground femcee, who has been putting the work in for a couple of years now. That would be Los Angeles talent Molly Santana. The 21-year-old has already developed a cult-like following, with North West being one of her biggest fans.

Molly’s popularity has grown exponentially since 2024 thanks to some trendy singles like “Windows Up,” her ever-expanding catalog on Soundcloud, and a Rolling Loud performance that year.

Her sound blends multiple genres and subcultures of rap together such as trap and rage. Similar to Playboi Carti, Molly has a grungy/punk aesthetic about her that’s captivated listeners.

What’s The Latest On Drake’s ICEMAN?

As a result, her social media following has ballooned in succession with her current number of followers sitting at 400,000 even. That list now includes Drake as caught by Kurrco.

Molly’s fan base is mixed about this news right now, with some boldly accusing The Boy of predatory behavior given their age gap. Others are trying to shoo him away as they don’t want him to just try and hop on her wave.

But some are welcoming this shoutout as they visualizing how cool it would be to have them collab on ICEMAN. That of course is Drake’s upcoming solo album, his ninth to be exact. It’s yet to receive a release date or even an official cover art despite him teasing it all throughout 2025.

However, updates on it have been ramping back up in the last month including snippets and details on its tracklist. The latest comes from an unexpected source, Dr. Calvin Jung, a plastic surgeon in Houston. They are seemingly good friends and in a video posted online, he says that the intro for ICEMAN is all done. This means that the project should be announced fairly soon but we will see what happens.

Today (Friday, January 2) marks his 33rd birthday, a celebration he acknowledged on Twitter. However, Connor wants to skip this year due to the association with his alleged number of accusations. “We Skipping This Year Due To Certain Circumstances,” he quote-tweeted a post commemorating his 33rd birthday.

Many fans took to the replies with jokes of their own, criticisms, dismissals, defenses, and everything in between. Ian Connor’s attitude concerning these allegations is nothing new, as he joked about the number 33 a lot in the past. However, to be clear, the exact number of allegations against him remains quite vague, especially in the legal sense. We will see if Kanye West’s former style collaborator changes his tone on this in the future.

What Has Ian Connor Been Accused Of?

For those unaware, Ian Connor was initially accused of rape back in 2016, and five more allegations quickly mounted against him. As of 2020, that number reportedly rose to 33, and he has denied all of them. In fact, Connor even suggested years ago that A$AP Bari (who has his own sexual assault scandal) paid women to spread false allegations about him. Allegations against or from Ian in this regard never saw strong confirmation.

Elsewhere, though, Ian Connor is going at former friends. He continues to publicly bash A$AP Rocky every once in a while online, particularly after Rocky changed a song’s lyrics to diss him during a 2023 performance. The two reportedly hashed it out via direct messages, although the public association between them is not what it used to be.

Nevertheless, Ian Connor has other industry peers. For example, he recently shared some alleged messages from Drake about visiting Young Thug in jail back during the YSL RICO trial. These allegations continue to follow Connor, but he seemingly has no plans to back down.
