That contrast actually works in the song’s favor. Drake gives the record its emotional center, while Yeat keeps it from becoming too heavy. Four collaborations in, the two have clearly found a formula that allows their very different styles to meet somewhere in the middle.

Quotable Lyrics

You’re gonna cry when I’m gonna die
‘Cause I went and made something of my life
One day, you’ll decide those tears had to dry
‘Cause times that we had, they’ll always survive
Light in the sky if you miss your dog

“If Don Toliver was a sexy n***a,” Max said, he believes Toliver would be “the biggest” star. He went on to praise the singer’s style and personality, but doubled down on his belief that being more handsome would take his career to another level. Max then turned the conversation toward himself, joking that his own commitment to the gym is partly because he plans on becoming a “sex symbol” when his opportunity comes.

As wild as the delivery was, Max’s comments sparked a broader conversation about how much image and conventional attractiveness actually matter in the music industry. Some fans laughed at his assessment, while others argued that an artist’s appearance can play a role in marketing and mainstream appeal.

PlaqueboyMax Shares His Opinion

It’s also worth noting that Max is far from a Don Toliver critic. Earlier this year, he praised Octane, called Toliver a hitmaker and spoke highly of his vocals while encouraging his audience to support the singer’s rise.

“I’m not even gonna lie mfs gone say sum bc max the one that said it but really he lowkey right,” one person commented, agreeing with PlaqueboyMax.

“LMFAOOOOO this the s**t you only say in your head because I said the same thing after watching him and Drake last night don a ugly mf,” somebody else wrote on X.

“I wish he hadn’t used the word “sexy” but I understand what he saying cause don talent is out of this world,” another person said.

Toliver has yet to publicly respond to Max’s latest assessment. Either way, it opens a broader discussion about talent and looks in the entertainment industry. And all press is good press because Drake recently teased a new song with Don Toliver on his FOMO live stream. So now, all eyes are on Toliver to see what he’ll do next.

Yiannopoulos previously served as Ye’s chief of staff and said earlier this month that he was back working for the rapper following his deportation to the United Kingdom. The former Ye executive made headlines in late August for reportedly being detained at an ICE detention center. ICE announced his arrest via X, and shared his mugshot with the caption “an illegal alien from the United Kingdom.”

Campbell claims Yiannopoulos has been spending money at London luxury department store Harrods instead of satisfying his court-ordered obligations. He is also asking the court to act quickly, alleging that Yiannopoulos could otherwise move assets offshore or further cut financial ties with the United States. Those claims have not been established as fact by the court.

The former couple’s split has already become contentious. Both men have accused the other of verbal abuse, while Campbell has also accused Yiannopoulos of repeatedly using racial slurs. Yiannopoulos previously disputed some alleged text messages submitted in the case, calling them fabricated.

TMZ also reported that they reached out to Yiannopoulos about Campbell’s latest request. His response was brief and characteristically combative: “But from the bottom of my heart, f**k you.”

For now, Campbell is asking the court to intervene directly in Yiannopoulos’ income stream. Whether that ultimately includes money coming from Yeezy will be up to the judge. Stay tuned as this story continues to develop.

In a new video, Boosie defended his decision to hire the lobbyists after he says people were in his DMs saying it was illegal. Boosie explained that paying someone to advocate for a pardon isn’t the same as paying the president for one.

“I ain’t do nothing illegal,” he said. “What’s illegal is when you take the funds and just stick them in your pocket and you don’t do nothing with the funds.”

Based on the facts currently reported, simply hiring and paying lobbyists to advocate for a presidential pardon is not, by itself, illegal. That part of Boosie’s statement is broadly correct.

Boosie Badazz found himself at the center of a surprising political story this week after details emerged about the $600,000 he paid Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman to help secure a presidential pardon. The two conservative political operatives, who have previously been convicted on fraud-related charges, allegedly agreed to lobby on Boosie’s behalf for a pardon from President Donald Trump.

According to the reported agreement, they had until January 31, 2026, to deliver. Months later, Boosie still hasn’t received a pardon and is now seeking the return of $300,000. He has also accused Wohl and Burkman of exaggerating their connections to powerful political figures who they claimed could help his case. More recently, the Baton Rouge rapper shared alleged messages between himself and the pair as he publicly questioned whether those connections ever existed.

Burkman and Wohl, meanwhile, have denied wrongdoing. The dispute remains unresolved, meaning Boosie’s accusations against the pair are still allegations rather than established findings of fraud.

For Boosie, though, the distinction is clear. He maintains that hiring lobbyists wasn’t the problem. His issue is what he claims happened to his money after he hired them.

“Liberty” comes covered in weathered copper green throughout the upper. Black hits the Curry logos, while metallic gold takes over the Way of Wade branding on the side panel. “Obsidian” flips that formula, using a marbled black base with teal accents on the Steph logos and shiny metallic silver replacing the gold detailing.

Both pairs are built on the Way of Wade 12 platform rather than a brand-new Curry signature model. That shoe already carries a strong reputation on-court, known for its bouncy Super Boom cushioning and reliable traction. This pack simply reworks that existing shoe with Curry-specific colors and branding.

These releases follow Curry’s move to Li-Ning earlier this year after a stretch of sneaker free agency. He spent time testing shoes across multiple brands before landing this new partnership. The Curry Moment Pack marks an early chapter in that new chapter with Li-Ning.

Way Of Wade Curry Moment Pack

Both colorways carry symbolic meaning tied to Dwyane Wade’s career. “Liberty” nods to the moment Wade got drafted by the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden back in 2003. Further, the name represents ambition and the idea that greatness can truly begin from anywhere.

“Obsidian” draws its inspiration from the volcanic glass itself, known for forming under extreme pressure. Also that concept lines up well with Curry’s own reputation for composure and precision under pressure throughout his career.

Pairing Curry with Wade’s signature shoe line makes sense given how much both players have meant to modern basketball. Curry’s move to Li-Ning gives him a fresh platform to build out that identity further. With only 200 pairs of each colorway available, these are expected to move fast once they go live.

This isn’t the only personal gesture Drake’s made public recently either. He just dropped “FOMO,” a nearly hour-long short film. In that, he gave fans a look inside his personal collection of jewelry, watches, and cars. Gifting custom pieces like these pink pendants fits that same pattern of Drake showing off. It’s certainly a display of his astronomical wealth, but also shows how he cares for those around him.

The pendant appears to be a custom take on OVO’s usual owl branding, which typically shows up in gold, silver, or black. Swapping in pink gives the piece a much bolder, more personalized look. Both women were seen wearing theirs on-body shortly after receiving them.

There’s no confirmed retail version of this pink OVO pendant, and it appears to be a one-off custom piece rather than something available to purchase.

Drake’s OVO Pendant Gifts

The OVO owl has become one of the most recognizable logos in hip-hop merchandising since the brand’s launch. Over the years, it’s appeared across countless colorways and materials. From simple embroidered patches all the way to fully iced-out custom pieces like this one.

That logo carries even more weight now given OVO’s recent business news. Authentic Brands Group just picked up a 51% majority stake in the brand’s intellectual property, with Drake staying on with a 44% stake and creative control. That deal is pushing OVO toward a much bigger retail future.

Against that backdrop, a personal gift like this pink pendant reads differently. Even as OVO scales into something much larger commercially, Drake handing out custom pieces to friends keeps that personal, hands-on side of the brand visible. Whether this pink colorway ever becomes more than a one-off gift remains to be seen.

This marks a return rather than a brand-new relationship. Nike outfitted Miami from 1987 through 2015, covering some of the program’s biggest football seasons. The Hurricanes then switched to Adidas in 2015, signing a 12-year deal that’s set to wrap up next summer.

Miami reportedly found itself in a strong negotiating position heading into this decision. The Hurricanes’ recent national championship appearance, paired with other big-name programs locking in major apparel deals this year, gave Miami real leverage. Adidas was given a chance to match Nike’s offer but ultimately came up short.

The new deal is expected to pay Miami more than $20 million annually, with roughly two-thirds coming in cash. That’s a significant jump from the $6.5 million a year Miami currently earns through Adidas.

Miami-based sneaker shop SoleFly has already confirmed a new Air Jordan 4 collaboration is in the works, though it’s unclear if it’s tied directly to this Nike deal.

Miami Hurricanes x Nike

This deal fits into a bigger wave of major programs switching apparel brands lately. Penn State and Tennessee both signed large new deals with Adidas earlier this year, which reportedly helped set the market Miami used to its advantage.

Nike returning to Miami also reopens the door for more Jordan Brand activity tied to the school. SoleFly’s confirmed Air Jordan 4 project adds fuel to that idea, even without confirmation it’s connected to the university itself. Given Miami’s deep sneaker culture, a switch like this could lead to plenty of new player-exclusive footwear down the line.

For now, the Hurricanes stay in Adidas gear through their current contract. Once Nike officially takes over, don’t be surprised if this partnership brings a noticeable shift to Miami’s sneaker presence both on and off the field.

The blowup came after Spears repeatedly pressed Vlad on grievances that extended far beyond the pay dispute that initially fractured their relationship. At one point, Spears asked whether Vlad considered himself a “culture vulture,” opening another argument about Vlad’s relationship to Hip Hop and the criticism he has received for building a business around interviews with Black artists and entertainers.

Vlad rejected the characterization, but the exchange became increasingly combative as both men talked over each other and returned to old insults. Spears also confronted him over a “Kung Fu Panda” joke Vlad made during their feud, growing visibly angry as the conversation shifted from business disagreements to how Vlad had publicly spoken about him. That proved to be one grievance too many. With co-host Andy Steinberg attempting to mediate, Spears eventually told Vlad to leave.

Their Business Disagreement Quickly Turned Personal

The tension was present almost immediately. Early in the episode, Spears asked whether Vlad had ever considered him a friend. Vlad said he viewed their relationship as friendly but primarily professional, while Spears reminded him that he had previously used the word “friend” to describe their connection.

Their dispute originally surfaced after Spears requested a higher fee for his VladTV appearances. Around five minutes into the new conversation, the two revisited that negotiation, including Vlad comparing Spears’s interview numbers with Boosie Badazz’s. Vlad later pulled up their April 18 text messages as they argued over who first took the disagreement public.

Spears maintained that simply mentioning the money issue did not justify the criticism that followed. He accused Vlad of going on a campaign to “smear my name,” while Vlad argued that Spears made their private business disagreement public and opened himself up to a response.

Even after Spears kicked him out, the episode was not over. Vlad eventually returned to the studio, and the conversation resumed with the same underlying disagreements still unresolved. The pair managed to finish the nearly two-hour episode, but the temporary ejection made clear that sitting across from each other did not erase the anger that had accumulated since their partnership fell apart.
