Ak began the rant by describing Mona as the “crack wh*re that’s on The Joe Budden Podcast” and advised her to take Ozempic. “I don’t wanna see you talk about me no more,” he said. “You really don’t deserve the normal Ak routine, but today I got a little bit of time. I’m seeing my other opps. They’re tweeting about ‘right-wing.’ These n****s turning political.” With that remark, he was referencing an earlier rant about Ebro and Peter Rosenberg feuding with Drake.

Turning back to Mona, he added: “Through preliminary research, I don’t know if this is really what you want to do. I didn’t even know that your podcast had a 360 deal… Now you’re the 10th mic on– you’re the P mic over there at The Joe Budden Podcast now? Calm your triple chin ass down. I got a crack wh*re trying to come beef with me. Come on.”

Why Are DJ Akademiks & Mona Love Beefing?

The drama began when Mona Love criticized DJ Akademiks on the Joe Budden Podcast, earlier this month. She and her co-hosts were discussing Akademiks’ recent feud with Maino and Fabolous. In doing so, Mona joked about Ak’s sex life before taking a more serious stance against his work. “I’m not a fan of people who are not in the streets at all doing all street content,” she explained. “You have to be at least adjacent to it to be able to report on it.”

Akademiks ended up firing back on a livestream afterward, arguing that she wasn’t relevant enough to be worth a response. “I don’t even know who she is. She can’t stop talking about me,” Akademiks said at the time. “You’re filling out the Melyssa Ford slot.”

“Don’t call me. I’m not calling to tell my son get no baby, no 9-1-1, leave us the f*ck alone,” she stated. “Every time somebody try to help, they get thrown under the bus.”

Prior to this, Karlissa Saffold says she was informed by Chrisean Rock’s followers that Jr. was in trouble. So, she got in contact with Blueface to tell him to swoop in and get his kid.

If you haven’t been following lately, him and Chrisean Rock are not on the best terms again. Saffold says Blue wanted no parts of this situation, but she was able to get through to him.

She claims that he called Rock. But as you may have heard, that didn’t go smoothly at all.

They got into a huge argument, with the “Thotiana” MC blaming Rock for getting into a situation she had no business being in.

“Don’t play with LA gang culture you will get slapped in yo ish for some ish you don’t know about,” he said. Chrisean promptly responded on her social media page.

“I went to Compton for the kids no security. These girls tried playing and then I got in the field. Blueface you scared to go to your own hood let alone Compton. Nobody got scared or punked 6 against 1 straight up. You trynna pick on me on instagram is pathetic. They got whooped. The girl that tried slapping me was scared to fight. She sent 5 girls on me instead of one on one and nobody went to no car. I stayed there till they got the courage to swing and they did nothing.”

As a result of all of this, Rock has blocked Karlissa from seeing Chrisean Jr. this holiday season. She continues in a second video, “When I tried to include [Jr.] [Chrisean] said she gotta pray to the Lord and see what he says. But I guess she didn’t pray to the Lord to see if she could take her baby down there to Compton.”

As for what happened to the reality TV star, Chrisean was jumped by two women in Compton after being asked about her gang affiliation. Allegedly, Rock was disrespectful towards the culture of it, which caused the attack. Rock shared videos of her appearing to be unscathed afterwards.

“Assistant Prosecutor Maurene Comey became annoyed when I said I wanted to tell the truth about both of my offenders,” Howard wrote in the motion obtained by AllHipHop. “She said I was too traumatized to testify, which I denied.” He filed his lawsuit against Cassie, earlier this year.

Howard claims he put in plenty of effort to get a chance to voice his story in court. He cites having written several unanswered letters and having made a personal trip to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan. “I have been patient and persistent,” Howard wrote. “The government used my cooperation when it served their interest, but now treats me as if I do not exist.” He also claimed that Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson denied that he was ever a victim.

He says that the situation has affected his ability to apply for the Backpage Remission Program, a federal fund that helps pay out $200 million to trafficking victims. Howard has alleged that Cassie was an “active participant” in Diddy’s trafficking, not just a victim.

50 Cent’s “Sean Combs: The Reckoning”

In other news, Clayton Howard recently detailed his allegations against Diddy and Cassie during 50 Cent’s new Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. He recalled participating in sex parties with the former couple, during which he allegedly witnessed Diddy assault Cassie. He has also accused Cassie of giving him an STD.

Diddy’s team labeled the entire documentary a “hit piece” in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, earlier this month. They wrote: “Netflix’s so-called ‘documentary’ is a shameful hit piece. Today’s GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release. As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.”

“The people over here is hip, honey. They are very polite. They don’t look at you like you’re poor.” Cardi was also a huge fan of the shopping and dining scene, particularly for the reasonable pricing. “I like everything duty-free, tax-free, discount-free,” she added.

Shortly after praising Saudi Arabia, Cardi B ripped the current climate of the United States. “I’m starting not to like America. America makes me pay taxes. The Vice President is talking sh*t about me on Twitter. I don’t feel real appreciated in America. Y’all need to convince me to come back,” she stated.

Her critique of the country is nothing new, especially since Donald Trump’s been back in office. “We need a Hail Mary,” Cardi wrote shortly after the POTUS’ victory.

As a result, her issues with the administration have led to some tense arguments with MAGA supporters. That’s no different here as AllHipHop reports.

Cardi B Donald Trump Beef

One person writes back to Cardi, “Well, let me tell you, Cardi B is free to make her own choices, but if she doesn’t want to come back to the USA, that’s her loss! We’re focused on keeping America great and supporting our leaders like Vice President JD Vance. MAGA AmericaFirst.”

Another harshly types, “No body cares if cardi b ever came back to America.”

It is also worth pointing out the timing of Cardi’s criticism. In her rant, she had some words for Vice President J.D. Vance. If you recall, the latter tweeted out “Nicki>Cardi.” Conversely, Nicki Minaj has been much more onboard with Trump’s mission. His post surfaced after Cardi’s rival thanked the POTUS for sharing the same views as her over the ongoing issues with Christians in Nigeria.

It’s safe to say that Cardi didn’t love Vance’s co-sign one bit and might be a reason as to why she sounded off last week.

Almost every night brings a new silhouette, and this time it was a Kobe classic with deep roots. The Kobe 4 Protro “CHBL” is tied to Nike’s China High School Basketball League, a program Kobe Bryant supported closely during his career.

The bright yellow colorway stands out instantly, especially under arena lights, and feels fitting for a player who has always thrived in loud moments. Seeing Curry wear a Kobe model also carries weight. Both players changed how guards approach the game, relying on skill, creativity, and relentless confidence.

Curry wearing the Kobe 4 Protro reinforces how seamless his transition has been. The low-top silhouette suits his quick release and constant movement, while the color choice signals comfort with attention. It also shows how much freedom he has embraced, pulling from Nike Basketball’s deepest archive without forcing a narrative.

As Curry continues experimenting with new sneakers, moments like this feel organic. The Kobe 4 Protro “CHBL” is not just a performance choice. It is a quiet nod to legacy, respect, and the next chapter of Curry’s career unfolding in real time.

Steph Curry Stats vs Blazers

Stephen Curry delivered one of his best performances of the season against the Trail Blazers. He finished with 48 points in 35 minutes. Curry knocked down 16 field goals and drilled 12 three-pointers.

His shooting carried Golden State throughout the night. He added three rebounds and two assists while constantly drawing defensive attention.

Curry also recorded three steals, staying active on both ends. Despite the loss, his scoring burst kept the game close. It was another reminder that Curry can still take over any night.

Overall, Curry continues to make headlines both for his performances on the night and his footwear choices. Only time will tell what sneakers he laces up next.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Darden spoke on the situation by initially agreeing with one fan who blamed the cancellation on their willingness to confront Donald Trump and Israel. “It def was in the mix ….” Darden wrote, which prompted one Drake fan account to call him out in the replies. Ebro responded to that trolling with laughing emojis.

He then seemingly targeted Akademiks, writing: “The most loving thing a hater can do is wake up at 6AM and spend two hours on you. Thank You.” He concluded by reacting to Drake’s Instagram trolling by writing: “Drake is ‘right wing’ and so is sAK.”

Going over all of the posts on his livestream, Akademiks accused Darden of “coping.” He added: “The lack of self-awareness from Ebro is astounding. The fact that Ebro would call someone else a hater. Go look back at the history. I’ve never hated on Ebro.”

As for the “right-wing” accusation, Akademiks continued: “So Ebro now feels like me, Drake, Trump, and MAGA felt he was too powerful at Hot 97.” He then pulled up Hot 97’s views on YouTube and joked about feeling “threatened.”

From there, he turned his attention to Ebro’s co-host, Peter Rosenberg, who responded to Drake by writing: “It’s behavior like this that has made it impossible for people to defend the wack sh*t that he does … But happy Hanukkah my one time pal .. I truly wish you well even if you’re celebrating what you believe is our demise.” After mocking Rosenberg’s voice, Akademiks added: “Drake posted an emoji. It’s not like they said Drake put out a statement.”

When Is Drake Dropping “Iceman?”

In other news, Drake is still working on his highly anticipated album, Iceman. While the project still doesn’t have a release date, Akademiks recently posted on X that it’s arriving “so soon.” Drake previously hinted that he’ll be sharing the album before the end of the year.

He’s already released several singles from the album, including “What Did I Miss?”, “Which One” featuring Central Cee, and “Dog House” featuring Yeat and Julia Wolf.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” will be released on September 12th, 2026. Originally released in the mid-2000s, the pair offered a darker, more refined take on a model rooted in early 90s.

The timing of this return feels intentional. Jordan Brand has leaned heavily into anniversary-driven retros, and the Air Jordan 8 has slowly re-entered the conversation after years on the sidelines. The “Chrome” colorway fits perfectly into today’s landscape, where cleaner looks tend to age better and feel easier to wear.

It also highlights the silhouette’s unique construction, from the padded ankle to the iconic crossover straps. Unlike OG colorways tied directly to Michael Jordan’s championship runs, the “Chrome” has always appealed more to collectors and fans who appreciate subtlety.

That quiet confidence is what makes it work. The blacked-out upper lets the shape do the talking, while the metallic silver accents add just enough contrast to keep things interesting.

Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” Images

The Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” features a mostly black upper with a smooth, matte finish. Soft padding around the ankle gives the shoe a bulky but comfortable look.

Crossover straps wrap the midfoot, adding structure and a secure feel. Subtle perforations appear along the side panels. Chrome-like silver accents highlight the midsole and heel area.

The layered design feels heavy but intentional. The sculpted midsole adds texture without being flashy. On foot, the shoe looks dark, aggressive, and quietly confident.

Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” Price

The retail price of the Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” will be $215 when they drop.

As 2026 approaches, the Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” feels less like a nostalgia play and more like a smart reminder. Some retros do not need reinvention. They need the right moment to come back.

The “Bobby B*tch” rapper writes, “Jeweler Come fix my shitt litt mob we always mobbing #GangVoilence #twoarmed #localfamous.”

So, you’re probably wondering what happened exactly. Well, here’s the rundown. Per a report from TMZ, eyewitnesses at the show claim that someone chucked a bottle at the performer and yelled, “F*ck Bobby Shmurda!”

The Florida native wasn’t going for all of that, so he reportedly shouted some nasty things back while claiming he’d kill him if the person tried something funny again. Unfortunately for Shmurda, this rude attendee was with a group of people.

They all charged at the 31-year-old and started getting their licks in. As the video evidence from madChillTV1 shows, it got extremely physical. You can see a woman trying to calm Bobby down before fists start flying but there was nothing stopping him from protecting his manhood.

Unfortunately, he’s seemingly fighting off these attackers by himself.

Where Did Bobby Shmurda Perform?

He eventually gets behind the DJ booth on the stage where he seemingly can be heard saying, “I’m crashing the f*ck out, n****.” He then chucks one of the microphones that are sitting on the turntable before getting carried away from the tense scene.

Per the video evidence that’s out there, it doesn’t seem like Bobby’s chain was snatched. Instead, it appears to just have been broken to where the pendant fell off. However, that part of the story is still muddy, so take it with a grain of salt.

For those curious, the “Hot N****” songwriter was performing in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the MN Gold Room. He announced he’d be showing up there back in late November on his Instagram. “She badder (She bad) 12/13/25 Minnesota Rolla Coasta,” he wrote.

At the arraignment hearing, authorities charged Songz with third-degree assault and second-degree mischief. The second charge stemmed from an unrelated incident that same morning. Prosecutors alleged that he also damaged approximately $1,500 worth of property at a restaurant and hookah lounge named Mira. The property included hookahs, DJ equipment, and sofas.

Songz ended up getting out on supervised release and avoided speaking about the drama outside of the courtroom. “Have a good night, brother,” he told one photographer when pressed for comment.

Trey Songz’s attorney, Mitchell Schuster, addressed the incident in a statement provided to The New York Post. “His security intervened to protect him and contain the situation, and an altercation occurred in the ensuring confusion,” Schuster said in a statement. “Despite being the target of the initial provocation, Trey was arrested. Public figures are often treated as targets for instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gain. Trey is cooperating fully in both matters, and we are confident the full context and facts will come to light.”

Trey Songz Legal Battles

It’s far from the first time Trey Songz has found himself in legal trouble. In 2016, he was charged with aggravated assault after going on a rant during a show in Detroit. He allegedly flung items at the audience, injuring a police officer and a photographer. He ended up taking a plea deal for disturbing the peace in that case.

Songz also allegedly got into a fight with a police officer at a playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills in 2021. Looking ahead, Trey Songz will return to the courtroom on February 18 for another hearing about the Dramma Night Club incident.
