H*e, turn around and show cake,
Maybach heater, it’s a cold day,
Hit them with one pump like Ceeday,
Pockets Velveeta, where they cheese at?

Quotable Lyrics from Check My Carti

Mr. Clean, got Air Force 1s all on my feet,
Get the f**k up out the booth, I make my beats,
He talk with his thumbs, but in person, he don’t speak,
That boy is just a bum, he’s not my mans, he’s just a leech

Quotable Lyrics from “Break It”:

I ain’t tryna be too nasty
You call, I’m comin’, you ain’t even gotta ask me
She got a big butt on that Jeep
But in real life she got a Krabby Patty

Paul went even further, suggesting LeBron could realistically play five more years. That would push him to an almost unthinkable 28 seasons in the NBA. Paul personally believes LeBron should commit to at least 25 seasons total.

Importantly, the timing of Rich Paul’s comments lines up perfectly with other news. James set a record for the oldest NBA player to score 25 or more points in a playoff game. It seems like the 25 could be playing a sentimental role for LeBron.

From a sneaker perspective, a LeBron 25 release would be a massive deal. Very few athletes have ever reached a 25th signature shoe. Furthermore, Nike would almost certainly pull out all the stops for that milestone release.

Paul also pushed back against fans calling for LeBron to retire. He made clear that the conversation around pushing LeBron out feels premature. LeBron’s body and performance still suggest he has plenty left to give.

For sneakerheads, two more years means two more LeBron signatures potentially on the way. That is genuinely exciting news for collectors and fans alike.

Rich Paul On The LeBron 25

The Nike LeBron line is one of the most storied signature series in sneaker history. It launched in 2003 with the LeBron 1 and has evolved dramatically over two decades.

Each model reflects the era LeBron was playing in at the time. Early models leaned heavily into bold, chunky basketball silhouettes. Later releases incorporated more advanced cushioning tech like Air Max and Zoom units.

The line has produced countless iconic colorways tied to LeBron’s biggest career moments. A LeBron 25 would likely celebrate his full legacy with premium materials and special edition releases.

Overall, sneakerheads and basketball fans alike won’t complain if we get to see another signature silhouette from the King.

Starting with the most accessible piece, the SS Tee comes in at $80. That is a reasonable entry point for a Jordan collab of this caliber. Next up, 3 Fleece Hoodie colorways are expected at $180 each. The hoodie options alone make this collection worth paying attention to.

Fleece Pant colorways are also dropping alongside the hoodies at $150 per pair. Coordinating sets are always a strong move, and Saint Mx6 clearly understands that assignment. Matching the fleece pieces together would make for a clean, head-to-toe fit.

The undeniable centerpiece, however, is the Varsity Jacket at $1,000. That price tag is steep, but honestly, it looks worth every penny. Photos already show NBA players rocking it during tunnel walks, and it is stopping people in their tracks. The jacket features heavy embroidery, bold script lettering, and a prominent Jumpman logo. Red, white, and black is simply one of the best color combinations in streetwear history.

Importantly, no shoes have been confirmed at this time. That is a bit surprising given the Jordan Brand involvement, but a strong apparel drop can absolutely stand on its own. Furthermore, exact release dates and retail partners have not yet been announced officially.

Saint Mx6 has been building serious momentum as a brand, and linking with Jordan Brand is a natural next step. This collab has the potential to be one of the bigger apparel stories of the summer.

Saint Mx6 x Jordan Brand

Saint Mxxxxxx is a Los Angeles-based label known for its bold, streetwear-heavy aesthetic. The brand frequently references basketball and hip-hop culture in its designs. This Jordan Brand collab leans into that identity hard, featuring a varsity jacket in classic red, white, and black.

The “M 23/45” chest patch references Michael Jordan’s iconic jersey numbers directly. Script embroidery covers the sleeves with phrases like “Free As A Bird, Flying High Up In The Sky.” The Jumpman logo appears prominently throughout.

Overall, the pieces carry a retro varsity feel with a modern luxury price point.

This angle emerges from the video’s framing, depicting a mass shooter from a first-person perspective. First, the shooter confronts and shoots Vince before heading into a restaurant and shooting the Black people inside. At the end, the shooter takes his own life. Then, the music video shows the following 1963 quote from Martin Luther King Jr’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail”: “So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be.”

This is all outsider analysis, but there’s a lot to dive into with “Blackberry Marmalade.” Lyrical references include exploitation of Black music genres and financial plight, Black U.S. presidential candidates like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris, and much more.

Vince Staples’ “Blackberry Marmalade”

We will see if the Long Beach MC comes through with a new album sooner rather than later. “Blackberry Marmalade” is a striking single not just for its themes, but also for its sound. The punk-adjacent rock instrumental is a nice change of pace for him, calling back to his earlier aesthetics in his career and showing off a bit more vocal dynamism than usual.

Elsewhere, Vince Staples sadly got his show canceled recently, but he has other endeavors to focus on. This new album will hopefully be a part of that.

In terms of the political tone of its single, maybe the project is a larger reflection of these themes. Vince is seemingly questioning misdirected violence in the United States and how resistance and aggression, especially at the hands of white people, don’t provide change for folks that actually need it. In fact, whether at the hands of citizens or the state, these forces often use resistance and aggression to quell that necessary change.

If an album is really on the way, this will be this catalog’s first entry since Vince Staples’ excellent 2024 album, Dark Times. We can’t wait to dive in.

“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house…” she wrote. “got ‘cold feet.’ Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’???? b***h I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall.”

Also, Megan issued a statement to TMZ about the breakup via her representative. “I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” she expressed. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.” We’ll see if either party has anything else to say about this in the near future.

Klay Thompson & Megan Thee Stallion’s Relationship

Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson started dating at some point before relationship rumors around the two began to swirl in July of 2025. They publicly debuted just a few days after at Megan’s Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala.

From there, the two shared a lot of relationship updates on social media, flaunted their romance, and supported each other in their careers. For example, Thee Stallion pulled up to various Dallas Mavericks games to show love to the NBA player.

Still, this news is shocking due to how well Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson were doing publicly. Rumors and gossip about them never dwindled at any point, but they stood tall against all opposition and hate. Now, though, there will be some tough conversations on social media, and we hope most fans respect privacy and let the cards fall where they may.

We’ll see if Thompson responds to these allegations or if Megan elaborates on them any further.

As such, folks continue to joke about Vlad being like the police and accusing him of impacting AllStar’s case. On his VladTV program, the commentator addressed this notion and explained what actually happened from his perspective.

“In the last couple of days, we had talked to AllStar JR in terms of booking him to do an interview to talk about the whole situation,” he remarked. “We set a date, we set a time. It was going to be in Detroit. I wasn’t going to be there. It was going to be remote… Earlier that day, we had a conversation about some of the topics we were going to cover in the interview. The conversation wasn’t taped. If the feds want any level of cooperation from me, I’m already not cooperating. I’m going to be pleading the Fifth.

“I always protect my guests, I have a long history of this…” Vlad continued. “I’m not going to talk about what we talked about in our phone conversation… The studio was booked… Everyone was excited to do it… He didn’t show up, so we canceled. About an hour after that, I get a text from AllStar JR that says the feds picked him up. It’s a horrible situation. I can tell you I had absolutely nothing to do with that situation.”

DJ Vlad and his colleague also clarified how authorities arrested AllStar in Detroit. Elsewhere, he dismissed the notion from critics that he’s a “fed” for his VladTV interviews.

Why Was AllStar JR Arrested?

A post shared by VladTV (@vladtv)

AllStar JR was arrested for alleged possession of a firearm as a person with a felony history. However, the root of the situation is unclear. Through his social media activity and other reports on NBA Ben 10, folks online are accusing him of shooting Ben during an attempted robbery. Law enforcement authorities still haven’t confirmed whether or not they will pursue this.

Sonically, it’s a shift for Staples, as the punk-tinged alternative rock instrumental adds more fire and anger to the track. “Blackberry Marmalade” is impressive and powerful for many reasons, and we can’t wait to hear what Vince Staples has next.

Quotable Lyrics from Blackberry Marmalade

Daylyt suggested the 6ix God has DJ Akademiks as a “main promo guy,” whereas Kendrick has Budden. As caught by Caleb on Twitter, the rapper and podcast host had a lot of denials to put forth.

“I am not being paid by TDE,” he said. “I have never been paid by TDE. I’ve never been paid by any artist. I can’t be bought. That’s what makes me so different from y’all who shake a** for the f***ing… I get calls every week from record labels offering to pay me a lot of money to talk about s**t that I don’t care about or probably just want to talk about for free, but in my own way that I want to talk about it. Don’t pay me to big some s**t up that I’m not gon’ big up. Paying me is a mistake. For money, [he hasn’t gotten a call to not talk about something].

Joe Budden’s Thoughts On Drake’s ICEMAN

“I didn’t think that Daylyt was saying I had been paid,” Joe Budden continued concerning Drake and Kendrick Lamar. “But I understand what he was trying to say. He’s saying that my reporting is favorable to TDE. And it has been while [Kendrick] was f***ing kicking a**.

“Truth of the matter, I wanted to see all three of the ‘Big Three’ fail a little bit,” he concluded. “Kendrick just didn’t at the end. He went up. I’d like to see them all pegged down a notch. Get some humble pie. It didn’t work it at all. And I called it before the battle. I said after this battle, somebody’s gon’ make us look at somebody different. I didn’t know he was gon’ hit the two-for-one special on it and make both these n***as different. But that’s water under the bridge for me. If this Drake s**t [ICEMAN] comes out and it’s sounding like what we know it has the potential to sound like, I’ma be the first one to come in here and big that n***a up on his process and overcoming hardship with one of the tougher years to have in hip-hop.”
