Since that time, the two have had on-and-off exchanges. More recently, Meek had some strong words for Akademiks following the Lil Durk trial. Meek felt as though Akademiks was a negative for the culture, especially throughout the case. The artist’s arguments mostly pertained to Ak’s old channel, War in Chiraq.

Of course, Akademiks clapped back in full force. The two then exchanged threats. Meek wanted Ak’s address, and Ak was showing off his arsenal of machine guns and rifles. Things were getting nasty, although the beef has mostly cooled off in recent days.

However, last night, Meek posted and deleted a tweet in which he said Akademiks will face karma within the next 120 days. These comments stem from Akademiks’ alleged remarks about Meek’s child dying.

“Akademiks playing with the wrong spirits,” Meek said. “watch something happen to him without me even doing nothing to him… this gone be his life lesson … give him 120 days sit back… I won’t speak on him again!”

This appears to be Meek’s final words on the topic, although knowing Akademiks, he will likely have something to say this week as well. It just goes to show that this beef remains one of the most enduring of the last 10 years.

Let us know what you think of the Meek and Akademiks feud, in the comments below.

As TMZ reports, Mendoza filed the civil lawsuit a few weeks ago, with her allegations stemming from an alleged incident in May of 2025. Mendoza claims Clavicular had paid her $1000 to be the female face of looksmaxxing. At the time, she was just 16 years old.

Mendoza also alleges that Clavicular got her drunk at a home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, before eventually having sex with her. She also says she woke up to him having sex with her, despite not providing consent.

The influencer’s representative believes this is a shakedown. “She filed a lawsuit and doesn’t include sexual assault as a count. She then amends it and adds it a couple of months later,” they said in a statement to TMZ.

Clavicular Hit With Serious Charges

Previously, Clavicular’s attorney Steve Kramer spoke out about the lawsuit.

“We are aware of the complaint recently filed against Mr. Peters [Clavicular],” he said. “These are allegations only and remain unproven. Mr. Peters denies the claims and disputes the characterization of events. He will respond through the appropriate legal channels and intends to vigorously defend himself. We will not comment further at this time.”

At this time, Clavicular continues to deny that a crime was committed. That said, this is an open case, and it remains a developing story. Stay tuned to for updates.

While Durk was fully acquitted, his co-defendants, OTF Dede and David Lindsey, were found guilty on the three stalking counts. These convictions come with lengthy sentences, and their legal team is doing everything it can to get the decision overturned.

According to reporter Michael Blackshire, attorneys have filed Rule 33 and 29 motions to get a new trial and an acquittal. At this time, a judge has yet to decide on the new motions.

Lil Durk Associates File New Motions

“Defendants Lindsey and Wilson moved for judgment of acquittal underFederal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29 at the close of the government’s case on September 3, 2026; the Court reserved decision under Rule 29(b), and the motions were renewed at the close of all the evidence,” the motion reads.

Lil Durk’s legal situation continues to be one of the biggest stories in hip-hop, especially when you consider how he was able to beat his initial case. However, the work does not end here for him. With Dede and Lindsey filing new motions, Durk also has to continue fighting his VICAR case.

As it stands, Durk is expected to appear in court on November 4 for a bond hearing. The VICAR trial was also supposed to take place in a few weeks from now, although it is likely to be delayed.

This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

Quotable Lyrics from OPP

I’m really got cake, got jеwels on box
Fuck ’bout a bitch, I’m havin’ this shit
I furry bitch, I run out of opps
Capacity cost, just ready to spark it

Black covers the molded classic shell from top to bottom, with some subtle striping that runs throughout the upper. An oversized jewel Swoosh anchors the design, wrapped in textured bandage-style material to lean fully into the Halloween theme.

A muted volt green hits show up in glow-in-the-dark form across the outsole and other scattered spots on the shoe. That detail lets the pair light up in low-light settings, adding some extra flair beyond the daytime look.

Oregon branding stays intact throughout, including the Ducks mascot stitched onto the heel and the school’s signature “O” logo placed on the tongue. It’s a design built specifically around the university, even as it heads to a wider retail audience.

Given how much attention the original PE got last year, this retail version should move fast once release day hits. Nike and Oregon have had a relationship that goes back to Nike’s founding, so this pair is special.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Mummy Ducks”

This design first debuted back in September 2025, when Oregon players wore the “Mummy Duck” Foamposite Pro and matching cleats ahead of a primetime matchup against Penn State. That original version stayed exclusive to the program and never made it to retail.

Oregon has built one of the strongest relationships with Nike of any college program, regularly receiving standout PEs across football and basketball alike. Foamposites specifically go back over a decade with the school, dating to an “Oregon” colorway that released back in 2013.

That history makes this “Mummy Duck” release feel like a natural next step rather than a one-off idea. Nike has clearly leaned into giving Oregon’s most memorable PEs a shot at wider release once the moment feels right.

With Halloween timing built right into the design, this drop should land as one of the more fitting seasonal releases of the fall.

“No seeding. No private link. Entered the raffle and hit,” Bun B said. “Never stop dreaming. They do come true. Waiting on the next color to shoot my shot.”

That quote hits different coming from someone as plugged into sneaker and hip-hop culture as Bun B. Even with decades of industry relationships, he still went through the same public raffle as everyone else. Bun B could likely make a few calls and secure pairs without much effort at all.

Choosing not to says something about how much he actually respects the process. The pair itself features a bold red leather upper, paired with white Swooshes and a black outsole. Victor Victor’s signature dog logo shows up on both the insole and the lateral heel, tying the design back to Steven Victor’s imprint.

Seeing someone with Bun B’s standing celebrate a raffle win says a lot about how exciting this release has been across the sneaker community.

Bun B’s Victor Victor Air Force 1 Win

The Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1 line has picked up serious momentum since its debut. Spurs star Victor Wembanyama helped kick off that buzz, wearing early colorways during the NBA Finals before any official release existed.

Red now marks the third colorway revealed in the lineup, following earlier black and yellow pairs. Each version has stuck to that same clean color-blocking approach, keeping the ’01 shape’s chunkier, early-2000s build.

Limited raffles have become part of what makes this release feel special. Stories like Bun B’s show that even well-connected figures in the culture still have to compete for a pair like everyone else. That’s really what sneaker culture is supposed to be about at its core.

Losing a raffle a few times only makes an eventual win feel that much sweeter. That’s a feeling every real sneakerhead understands and respects, no matter how big a name someone already has. For a collaboration already generating this much excitement, moments like Bun B’s win only add to its growing reputation.

This marks the shoe’s seventh release since its original 1989 debut. Black covers the upper, paired with classic grey accents and Fire Red hits running through the midsole and outsole. “Nike Air” branding returns to the heel, keeping things true to the model’s earliest form.

Unlike the last couple releases, this version leans fully into its OG proportions. That means a slimmer toe box, cleaner panel lines, and the original silhouette shape fans have wanted back for years. It’s a clear step away from the tumbled leather build used on the 2024 “Reimagined” pair. Even small details like the eyelet spacing and wing details are said to match the ’89 blueprint closely.

Given this shoe’s history, retailers should expect heavy demand once release day actually arrives. The “Bred” colorway has sold out almost immediately every time it’s come back. Black Friday timing only adds more pressure to an already stacked shopping day for sneaker fans.

Air Jordan 4 “Bred”

The “Bred” 4 is the exact colorway Michael Jordan wore during “The Shot,” his iconic buzzer-beater against Cleveland in the 1989 playoffs.

Tinker Hatfield designed the original Jordan 4 that same year, and “Bred” remains one of the clearest examples of his early vision for the line. That connection alone has kept the colorway near the top of most grail lists for over three decades.

Its retro history reflects that status too. Versions have dropped in 1999, 2008, 2012, and 2019, with each one drawing serious attention from both longtime collectors and newer fans discovering the shoe for the first time. The 2019 version alone is still considered one of the strongest retro releases Jordan Brand has ever dropped.

Bringing back the true OG shape after years of tweaked builds should make this one of the most anticipated Jordan 4 releases in recent memory. For fans, this finally feels like the definitive version they’ve been waiting on.

The milestone comes after several close runs at the summit. Aiko made her Billboard 200 debut with Sail Out, which peaked at No. 8 in 2013. Souled Out reached No. 3 the following year, while Trip landed at No. 5 in 2017. Her previous career high belonged to 2020’s Chilombo, which debuted at No. 2 and later earned an Album of the Year nomination at the Grammys. Westside Whimsy is now her sixth Top 10 project.

Streaming Powered Aiko’s No. 1 Debut

Most of the album’s opening week came from streaming. Billboard reports that 70,000 of its 74,000 units were streaming-equivalent albums, representing 71.33 million official on-demand streams. Traditional album sales contributed another 3,500 units, while track-equivalent activity accounted for the remaining 500. The project also debuted at the top of Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart.

Westside Whimsy arrived Sept. 11 with little runway, having only been formally announced three days earlier. The 20-track album features Kendrick Lamar on “So Good,” Ab-Soul on “Love Bomb,” Tyga on “Like, Whatever,” Larry June on “Neighbors,” and OHMA on the closing track “Golden Coast.”

The album is also Aiko’s first full-length studio release since Chilombo six years ago. She celebrated the new chart peak on Instagram by thanking listeners and later telling fans, “What’s mine is ours.” Check out the album above.

The claim came from Tae’s mother, who alleged online that Fletcher and Yung Miami had once fallen out over Diggs. She did not publicly provide proof of a relationship between Fletcher and Diggs, and Fletcher wasted little time rejecting the accusation.

“The internet is a sick ass place,” Fletcher wrote on X. “I’m so tired of the drama, lies and negativity. I know it’s easier to hate than love but it really gets to a f*cking point.” She continued, “On my brother yall done said so many lies about me this year it’s scary. But yall really going too far with these n*ggas I do not know. If y’all got proof POST IT! Stop f*cking lying on me especially about these n*ggas.”

Yung Miami Was Previously Linked To Diggs

Part of the allegation appears to pull from older speculation surrounding Diggs and Yung Miami. In December 2024, we reported that the two sparked dating rumors after they were spotted at the same Miami restaurant around his birthday. Yung Miami pushed back on that chatter shortly afterward. She declared herself “Young, Rich, outside, & single!!!!!” rather than confirming any romance with Diggs.

No public evidence has surfaced establishing that Fletcher dated Diggs or that a dispute with Yung Miami developed because of him. Diggs later entered a highly publicized relationship with Cardi B, with whom he shares a child. TMZ has referred to the NFL player as Cardi’s “baby daddy” while covering their relationship.

Fletcher’s response didn’t try to unpack every accusation circulating about her. Instead, she drew a simple line around the latest one. If someone is going to claim she was involved with Diggs, she wants receipts. Meanwhile, she’s been enjoying a blissful life with her longtime beau, Moneybagg Yo.

White leather covers most of the upper, keeping the base clean and simple. A glossy maroon shell wraps the toe and heel, giving the cleat some real contrast against that white. That combination ties directly into Washington’s burgundy and gold color scheme, making it an easy fit for gameday.

The Jordan 6’s classic shape translates surprisingly well into cleat form. Its rounded toe and mid-panel detailing stay largely intact, even with the thinner, performance-ready build underneath.

This follows a recent pair of Air Jordan 17 Low cleats Diggs debuted, continuing a steady run of custom Jordan silhouettes since signing with Washington. Diggs has quickly established himself as one of the league’s go-to names for standout cleat customs. Further, this pair only adds to that reputation early into his time with the team.

Since these are player-exclusive builds, there’s no retail release or price attached. They’re made specifically for Diggs to wear on the field, not for public purchase.

Stefon Diggs’ Air Jordan 6 Low “Maroon” Cleats

Diggs signed with Washington back in August, joining Jayden Daniels and the Commanders after his release from New England. Custom cleats have become one of his early signature moves with a new franchise, something he’s done at nearly every stop in his career.

Diggs has worn Jordan Brand cleats consistently since signing with the label. He works with custom artists to remix classic silhouettes into football-ready builds. The Jordan 6, 7, and 17 have all made appearances in his rotation at different points, giving him one of the deeper cleat catalogs in the league.

Function has always mattered just as much as style for Diggs specifically. Most of his customs still use a lightweight base underneath all that Jordan-inspired detailing, keeping performance intact despite the flashy look. That balance is part of what’s made his cleat game so consistent over the years, rather than just a one-off gimmick.

With a new team and a fresh set of colors to work with, expect plenty more Jordan-inspired cleats from Diggs as the season rolls on.
