This second-degree murder conviction revolves around the fatal shooting of another young rapper, Adrien “Lil Bibby” Gainer. He was killed on February 25, 2019, practically one year ago on the dot. The scene of the crime was the New Hope Apartments, formerly the Hilltop Village Apartments.

First Coast News additionally reports that 45 shell casings were found there per an arrest warrant. Said document also describes how Gainer was gunned down. It says that Robinson chased him through the apartment complex before shooting him at close range in the back of the head/neck.

Afterwards, Robinson posted pictures and videos on social media bragging about his action.

As we said, this sentence follows the life-ending one he received last October in his home state. Ksoo and his codefendant, ATK Scotty, were convicted of first-degree murder for the death of another MC in Charles “Lil Buck” McCormick.

In that case, prosecutors accused them of exacting revenge on Buck who released a diss track against Ksoo’s late stepbrother.

This massive ordeal also roped in Abdul Robinson Jr., Ksoo’s brother, cousin, Leroy Whitaker, and his father, Abdul Robinson Sr. Jr. got the second most favorable result, as his plea deal reduced his sentence to 12 years. Whitaker was the unluckiest as he too was given a life bid.

Then, there’s Sr., who got out fairly unscathed after controversially deciding to testify against Ksoo. He identified the latter as the gunman and for his cooperation, he was given time served. However, if he didn’t, he was essentially facing life as he’s 54 years of age.

Previously, 60 years were on the table. After taking the stand in July, he reduced the max to 20 years. But while he’s not going to prison, Sr. still must complete two years of community control with electronic monitoring. After that is another three years of probation with special conditions.

Allegedly, he told officials that he was in fear for his safety, and that James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond had ordered Lodi Mack’s murder. Jimmy Henchman is currently serving a life sentence for this, in addition to other charges.

“After further investigation, it was discovered that the phone used to place the anonymous tip was connected to Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson,” it reads. “Jackson confirmed that he was the person who placed the anonymous call and that he was in fear of his life following the death of Lowell ‘Lodi Mack’ Fletcher.”

Why Is 50 Cent Beefing With King Harris?

A post shared by King Harris (@the_next_king10)

“I got 21 question but just answer this one,” King wrote in his caption. “So who was ‘Lodi Mac’ Yall know? Whoever he was, after he died thats when freaky cent started to fear for his life. And…. well it’s up there. Is this who called my pops a rat wit NO BLACK & WHITE WELL HERES YOURS SIR.”

As for why 50 Cent and King are beefing in the first place, it all started when T.I. accused Fif of backing out of a Verzuz battle. He went on to drop two different diss tracks aimed at the mogul, and even took a shot at him about his mother’s passing.

In response, Fif dissed both King and T.I.’s wife, Tiny. This prompted King to get involved, and he’s been hard at work trolling ever since. He went after 50 Cent on a diss track of his own, too, “Made Man.”

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman also says that d4vd is alleged to have possibly committed one count of murder. It’s worth clarifying though that the “There Goes My Baby” artist has not been charged nor arrested.

This update came to light after the initially sealed filings from this case which have been submitted in California, made their way to a Texas court, therefore unsealing them.

In addition, this seems to be an effort to force the Burke family’s hands. d4vd’s (David Anthony Burke) mother, father, and brother have been arguing against testifying.

When Did Celeste Rivas Go Missing?

Earlier this month, they argued that the request for them to appear in court violated their due process rights. Specifically, they claimed they received redacted versions of the affidavits. They were used to support a lower Texas court’s order that previously attempted to summon them.

But now that d4vd is the formal focus of this investigative grand jury, they may wind up having no choice.

As for the Rivas family, this may feel like a baby step into receiving answers they deserve. But it’s certainly progress and one that could speed things up going forward.

Celeste had been reported as missing from her Lake Elsinore, California home in April 2024. The search came to a horrifying end last September when Celeste’s remains were found in the front trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to d4vd.

In the months following this revelation, authorities and netizens were trying to piece together how the underaged Celeste could be connected to the superstar. It seems the grand jury has discovered that coveted information and they will do what they can moving forward.

“He alleges that he caught Althea attempting to remove their son from school despite him being the sole custodial parent,” her tweet reads, per The Neighborhood Talk. “He says he chased them to the car, and during the chaos, Diamond from Love & Hip Hop allegedly struck him with her new vehicle.”

Diamond, on the other hand, is telling a completely different story. In a clip from a recent livestream, also shared by The Neighborhood Talk, she calls cap on Benzino’s claims.

“Sending me a picture with your no neck a** laying with a f*cking brace on your neck talking about ‘I struck you with my new car.’ And then how do you even know my car new? Like n****s is weird as f*ck,” she said. “So I came on here to clear my name up because b*tch, nobody hit you with no motherf*cking car. You’re weird as f*ck. That ain’t got sh*t to do with me. I was bringing my friend to come check on her son and do a wellness check on her son.”

“She has primary custody,” Diamond continued. “She has paperwork to prove that. That’s why when we got to the scene, she called the police and told them, ‘I’m checking on my son,’ provided paperwork, xyz. Now all of a sudden, you’re in the hospital with a brace on your neck. When the doctor records come back, I’m sure it’s gonna show that n***a, you did not get hit by a f*cking car.”

Diamond went on to claim that she’s prepared to take legal action to defend her name if necessary.

Recently, Adam had on none other than Deen The Great. If you have been paying attention to Deen The Great this week, you would have noticed by now that the guy is getting punched and slapped in the face everywhere he goes. He makes a living off rage bait and disrespectful antics. In today’s world of streaming, he is nothing new. However, he has become a sensation for putting his body on the line.

On the most recent episode of No Jumper, Deen The Great almost got beaten up again. This time around, he made some disrespectful comments about Lena The Plug. While Adam22 has heard worse about his wife in the past, he wasn’t going to let any of this slide. He subsequently kicked Deen off his podcast, and that was that.

Things eventually got spicier, however, as Deen The Great eventually went live on stream from the comfort of his own home following the ordeal. It was here that he had some harsh words for Adam.

Deen The Great Goes Off

Above, you can see Deen accuse Adam of calling the cops on him. He also says that Adam refused to pay the streamer $5K. Apparently, this is the appearance fee for No Jumper. The fact that Adam pays at all is interesting, given that most interviews are conducted for free.

Either way, it is clear to us that Deen The Great is making enemies with practically everyone these days. He has very little regard for people’s space, and it has led to some tough situations for those who cross paths with him.

Whether or not he becomes just another flash in the pan streamer is something that still very much remains to be seen. Clearly, he wants to be much more.

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Air Jordan 4 “Bred” will be released on Black Friday, 2026. This means the pair drops on Friday, Nov 27th, 2026.

Black leather dominates the entire upper creating that classic “Bred” aesthetic. Varsity red accents hit the eyelets, Jumpman logo, and midsole details. White edges on the upper panels represent a return to the original 1989 construction.

These white edges have been absent from recent “Bred” Jordan 4 releases. The 2019 version featured all-black construction without the white trim details. This 2026 release restores the shoe closer to its original form.

The MJ face box adds another layer of nostalgia and collectibility. This packaging hasn’t been used for many recent Jordan 4 releases. Having both OG details makes this the most accurate “Bred” retro in years.

That signature plastic wing eyelets maintain the classic Jordan 4 design language. Also visible Air unit in the heel provides cushioning and retro styling. The black and red color scheme remains one of Jordan’s most iconic combinations.

End of year timing positions this perfectly for holiday shopping season excitement. Overall the “Bred” colorway consistently sells out.

Air Jordan 4 “Bred” Retail Price

Getting the OG white edges back is absolutely huge for “Bred” Jordan 4 purists. Those white trim details make such a difference in the overall look and accuracy.

The all-black version from 2019 was clean but missing that original construction touch. Black and varsity red is one of the most timeless color combos in sneaker history. Having the MJ face box packaging makes this feel like a proper anniversary-level release.

The “Bred” colorway works year-round and goes with basically everything in your wardrobe. This might be the most accurate “Bred” Jordan 4 retro we’ve gotten in decades.

Both the shoe details and packaging show Jordan Brand is listening to what collectors want. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $220 when they drop.

Recently, Spotify sparked some controversy when they came through with their next leaders of hip-hop campaign. In the campaign were artists like Baby Keem, Doechii, Sexyy Red, and Rod Wave. Some felt like the list was lacking those who are currently on a true rise to superstardom. For instance, Yeat somehow did not make the list.

Akademiks was paying attention to the list, and he was not fully amused with what he was seeing. So much so that he had to make a comment on his stream about the ordeal.

In the end, Akademiks called out why there is this rush to crown new leaders for hip-hop. In Ak’s mind, some of these artists should already be leaders when you consider the industry push around them.

DJ Akademiks Calls Out Spotify

When Drake and Kendrick Lamar ascended to new heights, it was clear from the get-go that they were dominating the music industry. The same cannot be said of the artists that Spotify is pushing. At the time, it was organic to say Drake, Kendrick, and even Cole were the leaders of the new school. But now, it feels like platforms such as Spotify are desperate for certain artists to catch on.

Akademiks notes that the current class of rap stars has yet to produce a true leader. It’s unfortunate, but it is the complete truth. There is still a lot to be done right now, and hip-hop won’t be able to thrive properly unless the youth come in and completely take over.

This Spotify situation is interesting as it comes across like the industry is telling us, as opposed to showing us. The proof just isn’t there yet to say Baby Keem is a new leader in hip-hop. Can it happen someday? Absolutely. Has it happened yet? No.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 5 OG “White Metallic” will be released on April 25th, 2026.

White leather dominates the entire upper creating a clean premium foundation. Metallic silver accents hit the tongue, lace locks, and reflective 3M panels. The combination creates that iconic “White Metallic” aesthetic from the original 1990 release.

That signature shark tooth design appears along the white midsole as expected. Translucent icy blue outsoles complete the bottom maintaining the classic Jordan 5 look. The silhouette remains unchanged from the original Tinker Hatfield design.

Nike Air branding on the heel represents a change from recent releases. Most Jordan 5 retros have featured Jumpman logos on the heel instead. This return to Nike Air brings the shoe closer to its original form.

The “White Metallic” colorway remains one of the most beloved Jordan 5s ever. Its clean aesthetic works perfectly for any season or outfit combination. The shoe carries significant history from Michael Jordan’s championship runs in the early 90s.

The all-white leather with metallic silver accents is such a timeless combination. That clean aesthetic never goes out of style no matter how many years pass. Having Nike Air back on the heel is huge for purists who want OG accuracy.

The translucent icy blue outsole adds just enough color without overwhelming the white upper. Those reflective 3M tongue panels still look incredible when light hits them right. The shark tooth midsole design remains one of the most distinctive elements in Jordan history.

This colorway basically goes with everything making it super versatile for daily wear. Getting Nike Air branding instead of Jumpman makes this feel like a proper retro release. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $215 when they drop.

On Wednesday, it looked as though the beef was finally coming to an end. Everyone was going to let bygones be bygones and just leave one another alone for the time being. As it turns out, that is not happening anymore.

Last night, T.I. came through with yet another diss track for 50 Cent. This one felt considerably more disrespectful than the last one, and social media certainly had some thoughts.

Prior to this diss track, 50 Cent had deleted all of his posts on social media. It felt like he had turned a corner when it came to pettiness. However, he was not going to let this new diss track slide. As soon as it dropped, he was right back to Instagram being messy.

50 Cent Responds To T.I.

After posting another photo of Tiny, 50 Cent came through with a “Stupid Award” in which he accused T.I. of using ChatGPT to write some of his lyrics. It was a pretty brutal diss, and one that T.I. certainly isn’t going to take very kindly to.

Having said that, it does not appear as though we are going to get a real diss track from Fif. That ship has completely sailed, and we don’t think it is ever coming back around. The artist seems more content trolling. Not to mention, the optics of him not responding while T.I. drops three tracks back-to-back is objectively pretty funny.

It just goes to show that T.I. is taking the feud a lot more seriously than 50 Cent is. This will either escalate further, or it is simply going to crumble. Only time will tell.

Awards & Commercial Performance

Unfortunately, “Uber Everywhere” was never a song to make its way into awards conversations. However, it did debut at 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 before eventually peaking at 51. The song is now two-times platinum in the United States, further cementing its legacy in the hip-hop world.
