That said, Rocky knows a whole lot about his friend and vice versa. When it comes to Tyler, the Creator, one thing that has seemingly been of public interest is his sexuality. He has hinted at the fact that he is bisexual on numerous occasions. However, there have been questions about whether or not this is genuine, or if he is simply gay-baiting.

These kinds of questions are certainly an invasion of privacy. Although there are a few journalists who don’t mind asking anyway. For instance, Jason Lee asked A$AP Rocky about what’s going on with Tyler. This led to a concrete answer, with Rocky saying that his friend is, in fact, gay.

A$AP Rocky Talks Tyler, the Creator

A$AP Rocky’s interview with Jason Lee has certainly brought about some revelations, as well as some debate fodder. For instance, during this interview, Rocky responded to Drake’s “Burning Bridges” diss. He also spoke about FERG’s name change and how he was hurt by the whole thing.

There were also some extended segments on the likes of Rihanna, and how their relationship has blossomed over the last decade or so. He had some sweet words about the mother of his children, and it is clear that he is proud of what they have built together.

Going forward, we imagine Rocky will continue to celebrate the success of his most recent project, Don’t Be Dumb. As for Tyler, the Creator, he remains in the shadows following the release of Don’t Tap The Glass.

In recent years, his albums have left a bit to be desired. Fans haven’t always resonated with the production choices, as well as some of the lyrical themes. However, there is no denying that Em has a legendary catalog that his fans always go back to.

Now, Eminem finds himself going viral thanks to an old Super Bowl ad he did back in 2011 for Brisk. In this ad, Em appears as himself, stylized as a cartoon stop-motion character. The ad leans into Em’s vulgar personality, and the fact that for much of his career, he was not brand-friendly.

There is one two-second section of the ad in which Em takes a swig of Iced Tea and says, “damn, that is pretty good.” The clip is now being remixed throughout social media, with many using it as a reaction video.

Eminem Goes Viral

The video is pretty funny, and there have been some unique remixes of it. For instance, in a classic case of misdirection, some have replaced the word “good” with Joe Budden saying “ass.”

You never know what is going to go viral on social media these days, and this is yet another example of that. However, this specific clip of Eminem has the perfect conditions for virality. It’s loud, quippy, and it features a pop culture figure most people can recognize.

Eminem has not commented on this newfound virality, and we doubt that he will. Either way, it’s always fun to see a legend getting the meme treatment.

Over the past few months, Blueface has mostly stepped away from the music world. Furthermore, he hasn’t been involved in reality television. As a way to replace these income streams, Blue has gotten heavily involved in the streaming world.

He now streams on Kick, and as you may have noticed, this is where the vast majority of his viral clips come from. If he wasn’t streaming on Kick, you probably wouldn’t be seeing him on your feed.

That said, it appears as though his streaming career is a successful one. In a video posted to social media, he revealed that he is making $25K a week on the Kick platform.

Based on the video above, only about $1000 of that comes from subscriptions. However, he is making an extra $24K from endorsements and ad revenue. It’s a monetization model that is similar to Twitch’s. As Kick has made it clear, they are a lot more lenient when it comes to their terms of service. You can get away with quite a bit on Kick. On Twitch, Blueface probably would have been banned by now.

If you do the math on these numbers, you quickly realize that Blueface could make over $1 million per year if he keeps things consistent. Furthermore, these streams can then be chopped up on YouTube for extra revenue.

It just goes to show that if you already have a large following, streaming is the move.

This new game is slated to be released on November 19. There have only been two trailers thus far, with the last one being released about a year and a half ago. Overall, fans have been craving a third trailer or some kind of gameplay reveal.

On Thursday morning, Rockstar shocked the gaming world by announcing a new reveal that will take place on August 27 on Netflix. This special event is called Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look. It will debut at 3 PM EST, although it will also go live on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel six hours later.

GTA VI To Premiere On Netflix

At this time, it is unclear what is going to be shown off during this special event. While some believe it could simply be Trailer 3, the inclusion of Netflix suggests something much bigger. “An Extended Look” suggests we may even get to see actual gameplay and various other features.

Fans are curious about what this game is going to look like. What will the map look like? How many cities will there be? What kind of activities will there be to do well beyond the story missions? These are all questions Rockstar has an opportunity to answer with this Netflix event.

Ultimately, there is a lot to be excited about here. GTA is one of the biggest properties in gaming, and this promises to be one of the biggest and perhaps even best video games of all time.

That reaction makes sense given how hard this collaboration has been to get. Steven Victor’s Air Force 1 project has built serious buzz through star-studded previews all year. Names like LeBron James, Victor Wembanyama, and DJ Khaled have already been spotted in various colorways.

Seeing Jadakiss pull up with three pairs at once puts him in rare company. Most people are still waiting just to see one pair drop, let alone collect multiple colorways before an official release date exists. Getting your hands on even one pair right now already requires serious connections.

It’s also worth noting Jadakiss and Fat Joe are no strangers to sneaker talk. Their podcast has become a regular spot for guests to show off rare pairs and unreleased heat. Even by those standards, this particular flex clearly stood out enough to get a real reaction out of Joe.

This moment fits right into the pattern building around Victor Victor. Every reveal so far has come from a major name, and each one adds more weight to the eventual release. Jadakiss showing up with multiple pairs only raises the stakes further.

It also says something about where the hype level currently sits. When a shoe leaves a guy like Fat Joe speechless, that’s not something that happens often on a sneaker topic. Both rappers are known for having deep sneaker knowledge and even deeper collections.

No official release date has been confirmed for the Victor Victor line yet. Reports still point to a Fall or Winter 2026 launch. Until then, moments like this one are the closest thing fans have to a real preview of what’s coming.

For now, all anyone can do is keep watching who shows up in a pair next.

Cam addressed the dispute while making a clear distinction between Cardi and the people representing her. He praised her career and noted that she has consistently supported his music. His problem, he explained, is with “two individuals on her team” who have continued contacting him despite failing to honor the agreement that persuaded him to record the verse.

According to Cam, Cardi’s representatives first approached him two or three years ago about appearing on a song. He agreed on the condition that she return the favor with an interview. Her team reportedly assured him that getting Cardi on the show would be simple, so he asked them to reach out again once the album was close to completion.

An Unfulfilled Promise

The request resurfaced when Cam was told the project was roughly a month away from release. He was occupied with other work and assumed he had missed the window, but the same people returned nearly a year later still asking for his contribution. Cam eventually completed the verse. When Am I the Drama? arrived in September 2025, however, neither his name nor the collaboration appeared.

Losing the placement was not what set him off. Cam said he still expected the interview that had been promised in exchange for his work. He also allowed for the possibility that Cardi knew nothing about the arrangement, arguing that artists should not be held responsible when members of their teams make commitments without their knowledge or approval.

That grace did not extend to the people who contacted him. Cam’ron threatened to begin exposing anyone who invokes an artist’s name to secure favors and then refuses to deliver. “Once I get the dirt on you, I’mma put the dirt out,” he said, warning that texts and photographs could become part of a weekly airing-out session. He also threatened to disclose private intimate information, turning what began as an industry grievance into something far more personal.

Cardi has not publicly addressed Cam’s claims, and he did not identify the team members he accused of misleading him. The shelved record may not stay private much longer. Cam said he plans to release the song himself, interview or no interview.

The first is a collaboration with Foot Locker. Civil mentioned it’s connected to the reopening of the Crenshaw and Slauson store. That’s the same intersection where Nipsey built his career. It’s also where he built his community. Bringing Foot Locker into that specific location adds real weight to the announcement. That’s especially true given how much that corner means to his story.

The second partnership reportedly involves the Los Angeles Rams. Details are still light, but linking Marathon with an NFL franchise would mark a serious expansion for the brand, pushing it well beyond streetwear and into pro sports territory.

Neither deal has been made official just yet. Still, hearing both mentioned together shows just how far Marathon’s ambitions have grown.

Marathon has never just been a clothing line. Nipsey built it as a statement about ownership and reinvesting in South LA. Everyone running the brand since his passing has stuck to that same blueprint. These new partnerships feel like the next logical step in that mission.

Teaming up with Foot Locker gives Marathon access to one of the biggest athletic retail platforms in the world, all while staying rooted in the neighborhood that shaped Nipsey’s rise. The Rams partnership, if it comes together, would put his brand in front of an entirely new audience through professional sports, one it hasn’t fully tapped into before.

Nothing has been officially confirmed by Foot Locker or the Rams just yet. But if these deals move forward, they’d mark another meaningful chapter for Marathon, and another reminder that Nipsey’s vision is still expanding years after his death, reaching corners of the industry he never got to see himself.

Rocky explained that Virgil and his crew actually learned to DJ out of ASAP Lou’s house. That same house is where the Been Trill collective got started. ASAP Mob stayed close with Virgil throughout that entire era, at least according to Rocky.

But things reportedly cooled off once Ye came into the picture. Rocky claims Ye grew distant once he saw Virgil working with him for free. That included designing his album cover and running creative for his tour. When pushed on whether that meant Ye was jealous, Rocky wouldn’t fully commit to the word. Still, he made it clear something shifted between them.

Rocky was also careful to keep things respectful throughout the interview. He made a point of calling Ye “my man” even while telling the story. It’s a small detail, but it shows he wasn’t trying to stir up any real beef. He was simply recounting how the dynamic changed once fame entered the picture.

A$AP Rocky Explains What Happened

For anyone who follows sneakers closely, this kind of context adds weight to everything Virgil built afterward. His work with Ye is well documented, spanning Pastelle, album art, and Yeezy Season. That partnership clearly helped shape Virgil into the designer who eventually reshaped the Air Jordan 1 forever with Off-White.

Rocky’s story doesn’t erase any of that history, but it adds a more human layer to it. Two artists who came up together in the same Harlem scene ended up on completely different paths. One became a global sneaker icon in his own right, while the other kept building alongside Ye for years afterward.

Virgil’s influence on sneaker culture never really faded, even after his passing in 2021. His archive keeps getting revived through releases like the recent V.A.A. Air Jordan 1 “Alaska,” keeping his design language alive years later. Stories like this one just add more texture to how much history is actually behind that legacy.

PEOPLE reported that Kurupt shared the story during an appearance on Sway in the Morning, explaining that Dr. Dre contacted him as he dealt with the health crisis. Rather than deliver a lecture, Dre offered encouragement from someone who understood how addiction could consume an artist’s life.

“It was Dr. Dre that called and was just giving his support and just let me know that, you know, we all go through these things. He was just giving me that game,” said Kurupt. “And it was Em who came to the table, like, ‘I’m gonna put Kurupt with my folks, and I’m going to put some money into getting him into like, a rehab situation to where he can sit down and enjoy [himself] and be out the way. Nobody will know he’s there.'”

Struggling With Addiction

The help arrived after Kurupt’s drinking produced frightening medical consequences. He said he suffered multiple seizures before being placed in a coma for nearly three weeks. The Dogg Pound rapper previously disclosed that two back-to-back seizures forced him to confront his alcoholism, but his conversation with Sway revealed how serious his condition became and who stepped in once treatment was necessary.

Eminem’s involvement carries its own history. He nearly died from a methadone overdose in 2007 before committing to sobriety in April 2008. He marked 18 years sober in 2026 and has described recovery as the decision that saved both his life and career.

Meanwhile, TMZ claims they have an update regarding Starr’s arrest after reviewing police documents. The Hapeville Police Department report contains Starr’s claim that the male involved told her he was 18 before accompanying her to her room. Police were called to an Embassy Suites after a hotel employee reported an alleged sexual encounter involving a juvenile. Officers met with the minor and his parents before locating Starr inside the hotel.

What Sidney Starr Told Police

Starr reportedly told investigators that a tall, slender Black male approached her in the lobby and said she was “cute.” According to her account, the two spoke briefly before she asked his age. Starr claimed he told her he was 18, and she said he later followed her back to her hotel room.

The report states that Starr acknowledged performing oral sex on the male but described the encounter as consensual. Police identified him as a juvenile under the age of 16. Officers detained Starr and searched her clothing. An open condom reportedly fell out during the pat-down, while police said they found another condom inside one of her pockets.

Starr’s friends, family, and foes have all come forward to comment on her shocking arrest. Starr has denied the allegations, stating that she would no longer speak publicly about the case.
