In 2019, West went viral multiple times as fans found him on the streets. He appeared intoxicated in these videos, and it was visibly taking a toll on his mental health. Eventually, he received help from Mark Cuban, who got him into a rehab facility. Unfortunately, West relapsed, and there were more reports of him living on the streets.

Now, West is back in recovery and appears to be doing much better. In fact, he was a guest on N3on’s livestream over the weekend. During the stream, they went to the gym to play some ball, and as you will see, West’s still got it.

The man was hitting stepbacks and showing off his crossover work. N3on was thoroughly impressed with what he was watching, as was the audience.

Delonte West Is Looking Good

West began his NBA career in 2004 with the Boston Celtics. During the 2007-08 season, he got to join LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. He would play with the Cavs until 2010 before eventually going to the Dallas Mavericks.

His career ended in 2012 as substance abuse issues and deteriorating mental health kept him from the court. There was also one particular unfortunate rumor that was mostly circulated by fans and trolls alike. If you’re up on your NBA lore, you probably know what we’re talking about.

Now, West seems to be doing much better, and that is truly great to see. His journey has been a difficult one, and there are still battles ahead. Regardless, he’s in a much better spot now than he was just five years ago.

In the video footage below, you can see police officers swarm the restaurant before demanding that Blueface and Nevaeh come outside with their hands in the air. The officers had guns drawn, and they were unrelenting with their demands.

Eventually, Blueface was placed on his knees with the officers surrounding him. Nevaeh and their newborn son were put in the back of a police vehicle. According to scv_scanner on Instagram, someone called the police alleging that there was a gunshot victim inside the restaurant. The caller said someone matching Blueface’s description was in the establishment, armed and dangerous.

The police eventually realized that none of this was true, and allowed Blueface, Nevaeh, and their child to walk free. Simply put, this was yet another swatting incident.

Blueface & Nevaeh Swatted

This is nothing new for Blueface. Just a few weeks ago, he was swatted while at his home. Child Protective Services were called at the exact same time, leading to a confusing situation for everyone involved.

Now that Blueface has gone full-time with streaming, trolls are starting to feel emboldened to engage in this kind of nonsense. Swatting is a dangerous practice. Innocent people have died as a result of these calls. For Nevaeh and her newborn, it was an especially harrowing moment.

It remains to be seen whether or not Blueface will take future steps to avoid being swatted. This typically involves collaborating with the police department and putting your address on a watch list of sorts, where police become aware that you are a frequent target of prank calls. Perhaps he will need to arrange something similar with his restaurants.

This remains a developing story.

Olive green leather covers most of the upper, keeping things muted and understated. Light silver and cargo khaki show up across the mesh panels and eyelet areas, adding a little bit of contrast without pulling away the focus. Lighter accents round things out around some of the midsole pieces and the branded tongue.

The shoe keeps the classic Air Jordan 4 shape fully intact. Visible support wings and the model’s familiar panel work carry over from past retros, giving the colorway a clean, wearable finish.

There’s no deeper backstory attached to this one either, unlike some past releases tied directly to Michael Jordan’s career. It’s a pretty simple colorway, but obviously the exclusivity is what will make this pair worth talking about.

Further the style code JA5911-320 confirms the release, with images first surfacing through retailer JD Sports. Pairs will be limited to Nike.com/Jordan and select retailers throughout the European continent once the launch window arrives.

Air Jordan 4 “Light Army”

Europe exclusives aren’t new for Jordan Brand, but they’ve become more common in recent years. Pairs like the “Tokyo 23” or “Sumo” colorways have kept certain releases limited to specific markets before.

Europe has increasingly become a priority region for that same treatment. “Light Army” adds to a growing list of colorways that skip a US release entirely, leaving American buyers to look overseas or the resale market instead.

This drop also arrives during one of the busiest years yet for the Air Jordan 4. First-ever retros like “Toro Bravo” and “Tour Yellow” have already headlined 2026’s lineup for the silhouette.

With the year winding down, “Light Army” adds one more entry to an already crowded calendar, even if only a select group of buyers will get the chance to grab it at retail.

Layered blues take over the entire build, mixing deep navy suede with lighter, dusty toned panels underneath. Mint and pale blue underlays peek through the cutout sections, softening the overall look. Orange eyelets add a quick flash of contrast against all that blue.

A cream, aged looking midsole gives the shoe some vintage flavor underfoot. Bad Bunny’s star logo shows up on the heel, a detail that’s carried through most of his Adidas output this year. An extra pair of laces comes bundled in the box too.

The style code is listed as LB5996 and it’s expected through Adidas CONFIRMED, adidas.com, and a handful of select retailers once it drops.

This colorway comes after a quiet period of time for the Badbo 1.0. It first launched during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show back in February, followed by two more colorways shortly after. “Night Navy” picks the rollout back up after months without a new release.

Bad Bunny x Adidas Badbo 1.0 “Night Navy”

Before the Badbo 1.0, Bad Bunny’s Adidas releases mostly reworked existing models. His run started back in 2021 with a Forum Low, followed by projects built around the Response CL and Campus over the years since.

The Badbo 1.0 changed that approach entirely. Built from the ground up for Bad Bunny, it blends basketball, training, and Adidas cues into something that doesn’t copy any one silhouette directly.

Reports suggest a follow-up version, the Badbo 1.1, could already be in the works for later this fall. That’s a fast turnaround for a shoe that’s only released in 3 colorways so far this year.

With golf and boxing projects also reportedly in the pipeline, Bad Bunny’s footwear lineup with Adidas keeps expanding well past where it started.

Black leather is on most of the upper, giving the shoe a soft, matte base to work from. Pink vibrant panels break through on the sides, shifting slightly depending on the light. That same pink tone continues onto the Jumpman branded lace toggle near the top.

Metallic silver rounds things out on the heel tab and parts of the midsole. It’s a small detail, but it adds some contrast against the darker upper. The interior design also stays consistent with past low-top releases, keeping the shoe’s classic profile intact.

The style code is listed as IX5195-001 for anyone tracking the release closely. It’s set to land alongside several other September drops, giving buyers a lot to keep track of this month.

Overall this is yet another entry in Jordan Brand’s ongoing run of women’s exclusive Air Jordan 6 Lows. Also, the sneakers are set to drop through Nike, Foot Locker, and a wide range of other retailers on release day.

Air Jordan 6 Low “Desert Berry”

The Air Jordan 6 Low first released back in 2002, giving the silhouette a shorter, more streamlined profile. It’s never matched the popularity of the standard mid-top version.

Jordan Brand has still brought it back periodically over the years, often through women’s exclusive colorways like this one. That approach has kept the low-top somewhat under the radar compared to other retros.

“Desert Berry” continues that pattern, leaning into a softer, more feminine palette rather than a bold statement colorway. It’s also part of a broader wave of pastel and iridescent options Jordan Brand has pushed toward women’s sizing this year.

Finally, With September close and already stacked with major Air Jordan releases, “Desert Berry” offers a quieter alternative for anyone looking for something a little different.

Black patent leather covers most of the upper, giving the shoe a sleek, glossy finish. Purple hits the Swoosh, the outsole, and detailing around the heel, matching the club’s away colors. Matte black leather panels break up the shine, keeping the design from feeling too flashy.

Gold branding rounds things out on the heel. Kobe’s signature sits stitched in gold thread, while the FC Barcelona crest appears in gold on the tongue. That same tone connects the shoe back to its companion release in the collection.

The Dunk silhouette itself gives this release a different feel than past Kobe and Barca pairs. It’s a lower profile, more casual build compared to something like the Kobe 4 Protro, making it an easier everyday option for fans who want the colorway without a basketball focused shoe.

FC Barcelona and Nike are pairing this release with a Kobe 3 Low Protro in the same purple and gold theme, giving the 2026 collection two very different builds tied to one shared look.

FC Barcelona x Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro

Nike and FC Barcelona first connected the Kobe line back in 2025. That collection included the Kobe 4 Protro, an Air Force 1 Protro, a post-match slide, and matching apparel across the board.

The partnership comes from Kobe’s true connection to the club, not just a licensing deal. He was a longtime supporter, often speaking about how much he respected Barca’s style of play.

For 2026, that relationship expands into the Dunk Low Protro, a silhouette that hasn’t carried Kobe branding before. Pairing it with the purple and gold theme keeps it consistent with everything else in the collection.

With multiple releases now planned across this partnership, Nike keeps finding new ways to fold Kobe’s legacy into Barça’s identity. It’s shaping up as one of the more layered team collaborations still running in sneakers today.

White leather covers the toe box and side panels, with “University Red” taking over the mudguard, eyestays, and heel. A white Swoosh cuts through the middle, matched by a white midsole underneath. Red finishes things off on the outsole, keeping the whole build clean and straightforward.

The real story sits on the heel. Terror Squad’s “TS” logo is embroidered on the side of the shoes, tying the sneakers directly back to the pairs Fat Joe and his crew wore throughout the 2000s. It’s the detaills like this that turn a simple colorway into something with actual history behind it.

Fat Joe first showed off this exact pair back at the 2023 BET Awards. Sneakerheads have been waiting on a public release ever since, making this drop feel long overdue by the time it finally lands.

Terror Squad x Nike Air Force 1 Low “University Red”

Terror Squad Air Force 1s started as something exclusive to Fat Joe’s inner circle. Nike originally made them just for members of the group, keeping them far out of reach for most fans.

That changed in 2023, when the group’s first two colorways finally hit retail. The black and white pair became an instant favorite, giving fans their first real shot at owning a piece of that history.

“University Red” continues that same rollout, pulling straight from Fat Joe’s own archive of pairs. It keeps the same simple formula that’s defined the line so far, red, white, and TS branding on the heel.

Fat Joe’s connection to Nike runs much longer than just these releases too. Between his sneaker boutique Up NYC and his decades in the culture, this drop is another small piece of a much longer relationship.

“Jay-Z? F**k Jay-Z! F**k you bringing Jay-Z up for?” Charleston exclaimed, as caught by DJ Akademiks on Instagram. “Jay-Z a has-been n***a. That’s a used-to-be n***a. Why you ain’t bring up Finesse2tymes, Lil Baby, NBA YoungBoy? Them is right now n***as. Don’t bring up no used-to-be n***a, man. F**k Jay-Z.”

It’s a random and innocuous moment, but it goes to show how people are looking for the Roc Nation debate these days. At the end of the day, it only contributes to more engagement.

Jay-Z’s Drake Beef

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Ironically enough, while Charleston White was going on his rant, “Plot Twist” by Drake played in the background. Considering his feud with Jay-Z, maybe that spirit took over White and led him to pop off.

A lot of folks have been debating if a true-blue rap battle between the “Pound Cake” duo is in the cards. After all, they’ve been sending shots at each other pretty much all summer, and there are rumors of a new Hov album potentially coming soon.

We will just have to wait and see what happens. Both artists are so massive that they could use the whole “too big for beef” excuse and use social media instead to keep tensions high.

In any case, it seems like Charleston White and many others aren’t interested in what Jay has to say about anything these days. Of course, there’s a massive group of people on the complete opposite side. Only new music could centralize the debate, and we’re sure it would cause a commotion for both.

For those unaware, Julian fought Thiirty at Adin Ross’ Brand Risk 15 event, winning by unanimous decision. After victory, he and his sister took the mic to blast haters clowning them over the leaks and show they are all supporting each other. Their father Jamie was there, too.

But now, some folks think there could be some drama brewing thanks to footage obtained by No Jumper on Instagram. In the video, Jaden shouted at Julian from a distance while he and a colleague made their way to an elevator. Jaden eventually caught up with them and tried to hit Julian over his colleague. Folks nearby separated the two and Jaden walked away with a colleague while Julian stayed in the elevator.

The footage itself isn’t very clear as far as what happened and whether or not Jaden was trying to hit Julian or the man he was with. Also, there’s no context about what the siblings could’ve been fighting about or confirmation about when this was recorded.

Julian & Jaden Newman Fight

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

This speculation should be unsurprising given all the media buzz around Jaden and Julian Newman. Folks have been scrutinizing their dynamic and public statements, whether it’s just clowning the whole leak situation or theorizing on what the family is trying to do by engaging with haters.

Jamie Newman’s also caught heat for how he’s been acting and speaking since his daughter’s leaks. He made a bizarre comment about a threesome between Jaden, N3on, and Camryn LaVine. This and other comments continue to generate controversy, outrage, and disgust online.

But throughout all this scandal, it seemed like the Newman family was staying close and supportive. Maybe things have changed given this fight footage, but we’ll have to wait for them to confirm or deny.

As caught by Bars on Instagram, he came across a tweet posted yesterday (Saturday, August 22) by user @Yeezus49. The user was quote-tweeting an old 2018 message from Ye: “creatives need each other.” In response, the user posted a picture of Kanye and Dean at the iconic 2016 The Life Of Pablo show in Madison Square Garden and wrote, “That’s why we need Ye and Mike Dean back together, the perfect duo” (translated from Portuguese).

Ye reposted this message, so maybe there is a new collaboration between them on the way or they have been working together. Alternatively, this could be a message for Mike, and we’ll only find out if they explicitly confirm anything.

Mike Dean Denies Kanye West Beef

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Bars (@bars)

Mike Dean already denied having beef with Kanye West back in October of last year. “We’re cool,” he told Rolling Stone. “We’re just not working. There’s no intense beef or anything. If we saw each other, we’d probably hug and say hello and then keep moving. Yeah, there’ll be a time when we probably get back together. Who knows when? That’s a heavy question.”

For those unaware, Mike Dean’s Kanye West beef rumors stem from his criticisms of Ye’s bigoted statements and controversies surrounding antisemitism, Nazism, George Floyd, and more around 2022. However, those social media messages weren’t super explicit either. Still, it seems like distance is the main factor here, not any direct confrontation or conflict.

Whether or not this duo returns to the studio together is a mystery. But with BULLY and other Ye releases and moves this year, it’s not out of the question. Maybe he will have to be more proactive in righting his wrongs if he wants Mike Dean’s comeback.
