“I don’t have anything positive to say about that song,” Budden remarked before slightly contradicting himself. “So I’m going to reserve thought. But I do think it was important for Drake to be featured on this project. And I think in sequencing, if you just letting it rock, then maybe you won’t be mad at it. The beat, it fits. It’s not my particular favorite on there. I thought that Drake probably… It’s time for the heat, man. Enough of this. I just knew that Drake on 21 Savage’s album meant more than this. 21 dropping after their album together, I expected 21 to be on some s**t. Which he was, to me. I just think that two of them together means more than what they did here.”

“They could’ve took that moment… Not to compare it, ’cause I hate to compare it,” he continued, as caught by Victor Baez on Twitter. “But the moment that Drake made with J. Cole, ‘First Person Shooter’? The moment that Kendrick [Lamar] made on ‘Like That,’ on somebody else’s s**t? Like, you can make a moment on somebody else’s s**t. Missed opportunity to me.”

Drake Joe Budden Beef

Joe Budden’s recent criticisms of Drake’s music follow a long history of distaste, which resulted in diss tracks almost a decade ago. They still have some beef, even if Joe will conceded here and there. But Budden still isn’t a fan of the 6ix God’s output. We doubt the rapper and podcaster will be a fan of the Toronto superstar’s upcoming ICEMAN album.

“I think that what goes up has to come down,” he recently said on the Impaulsive podcast. “That’s not a Drake thing. I think he was just on such a streak that, at some point, it had to come down… The quality of music [after 2018’s Scorpion]. We’re not talking about streams or success. Hearing somebody that did everything he did from So Far Gone up to that point and then listening to everything that came after that just didn’t sound like the same person to me.”

However, things took a turn when the singer announced she went to the hospital this week, causing her to miss out on one of Danity Kane’s reunion tour stops. She apologized to fans for the absence, but later told TMZ her “vertigo, fever, dizziness, migraine, chills and vomiting all night” in the ER on Wednesday (December 10) came as a result of watching The Reckoning. O’Day is reportedly out of the hospital now.

“Watching everything from Netflix unfold publicly, seeing parts of a world I only knew from inside my own limited lens, was like living it again, but this time with context and truth outside of me,” she reportedly remarked. “I didn’t think it would traumatize me the way it did, but watching the pieces line up from a distance outside of myself has felt like my nervous system was reliving everything with more clarity than I ever even asked for.”

Also, Aubrey reportedly said she felt hurt by comments demanding her to suck it up and perform anyway. “My heart is broken because I never want to let my DK sisters or the fans down. However, I can’t wait to be with my girls for our Connecticut show on the 13th,” she reportedly stated.

Sean Combs: The Reckoning

Aubrey O’Day participated in 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. She read an alleged sexually explicit email from the Bad Boy mogul and speculated that he fired her from Making The Band 3 for rejecting his desire to sleep together.

“What an intense, overwhelming two weeks this has been for me,” O’Day wrote on Instagram. “With the Netflix drop, the world now knowing things that were hard for me to say and everything I’ve learned since – plus all the things happening behind the scenes in every area of business rn (almost 2 years non stop before that as well). It’s been a very heavy time. This picture is the first tie I’ve seen myself fully released– and I’m so happy that it happened on stage with my Danity Kane sisters, and with my family… You the most loyal audience. I can’t wait to see you next show.”

Whenever a Travis Scott sneaker shows up on shop.travisscott.com, it usually means things are moving fast. This is the clearest sign yet that the collaboration is expected to drop later this month.

The shoe brings Chase B into the Jumpman Jack story, expanding the silhouette’s universe beyond Travis himself. Chase B has long been part of the Cactus Jack ecosystem, so the collaboration feels earned rather than forced.

The Jumpman Jack continues to build momentum, and this Chase B edition adds another layer to its growing legacy. If history is any indication, this one will not sit for long.

Travis Scott x Chase B Jumpman Jack Details

The Chase B x Jordan Jumpman Jack keeps things clean and functional, with black mesh covering most of the upper and cream suede panels softening the look. The reverse Swoosh stays subtle along the side, letting the materials do the talking.

Neon green rubber lights up the outsole, adding contrast without overwhelming the design. The midsole remains mostly black and understated.

Also, the cushioning feels built for everyday wear. Branding is minimal but well placed, and the shape sits sturdy and low to the ground.

Where To Buy Travis Scott x Chase B Jumpman Jack

Based on Travis Scott’s recent release patterns, securing the Chase B x Jumpman Jack will likely require early action. The most important place to watch is Travis Scott’s official website at shop.travisscott.com.

An exclusive raffle is expected to appear there first and may only stay live for a short time. This early access window usually closes within hours. After that, the general release is expected to land on Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers.

Stores like Foot Locker and smaller boutiques will likely host their own raffles, both online and in store. Missing these raffles means turning to resale platforms like StockX, GOAT, or Flight Club, where prices will likely climb well above the $200 retail tag.

As caught by The Jasmine Brand on IG, she took to the social media platform’s Story feature to respond to the resurfacing of her allegations. Holly suggested that she made peace with her past, although she didn’t address the allegations themselves again.

“With everything resurfacing online, I want to make a brief statement,” she wrote. “I am aware that my name has been mentioned again due to other people’s disagreements. I do not wish to be a part of anyone’s feud or negativity. What happened in my past was my experience, and I’ve healed and grown from it. I have no desire to speak badly about anyone I wish everyone peace, success, and continued growth in life. I simply ask that people respect my space. And not use the past as fuel for drama. I am focused on my future, my peace, and my daughter.”

Who Is Tatted Up Holly?

For those unaware, Ja Rule resurfaced various 50 Cent abuse allegations in response to his executive production of Sean Combs: The Reckoning. These include claims from Daphne Joy, the mother of Fif’s youngest son. She accused him of domestic violence in 2013, resulting in criminal charges that ended in a no contest plea to vandalism, the denial of the other allegations, and no jail time.

Of course, Ja’s been going at his G-Unit rival in other ways. He clowned Curtis Jackson’s new look in the Street Fighter movie as the character Balrog, comparing him to a bullfrog instead on Twitter.

In addition, the mother of 50’s oldest son Shaniqua Tompkins reportedly accused him this year of physical abuse in their relationship, according to AllHipHop. With all the drama surrounding him right now, these resurfaced allegations against 50 Cent are a lot to handle.

But at least fans now know to leave Tatted Up Holly out of it. She is a New York City model and former bartender who just wants to live her life in peace.

Announcing the news during a recent interview, Lorenzo emphasized a difference in operating philosophies, stating that Adidas is held to different standards and measures of performance than Fear of God, which is willing to wait years to ensure a product is perfect.

The multi-year deal, first announced in late 2020, was intended to position Lorenzo as the Head of Adidas Basketball and establish the third pillar of his brand, Fear of God Athletics. Despite the strategic ambitions and Lorenzo’s track record of cult-favorite designs, the partnership struggled to generate consistent output and the market impact many industry predicted.

The collaboration produced notable releases like the Basketball 2, which showcased Lorenzo’s minimalist luxury aesthetic applied to performance footwear. But it failed to maintain momentum in an increasingly competitive basketball shoe market.

At least one final footwear silhouette, the Basketball 3, is expected to release in 2026, serving as the final chapter in this collaboration.

The Basketball 3 represents the swan song of Lorenzo’s Adidas partnership. If the Basketball 2 is any indication, expect premium materials and a deconstructed silhouette.

The Basketball 2 featured buttery leather uppers and an exaggerated collar design that blurred the line between performance and fashion. The 3 will likely push that aesthetic even further. Lorenzo has always favored elevated, minimalist construction over flashy branding.

This final release could become an instant collector’s item given the partnership’s abrupt ending. Sneakerheads who missed out on the Basketball 2 will have one last chance to own a piece of this short-lived collaboration.

The hype is building organically as fans realize this is their final opportunity. Limited production runs have defined Fear of God Athletics from the start. The Basketball 3 will likely follow that blueprint, making it extremely hard to cop.

First introduced in 2013, the “Gamma Blue” quickly became a fan favorite despite not being an original colorway from Michael Jordan’s playing days. This year’s retro comes with a significant upgrade: the updated, OGshape featuring a higher patent leather.

The pair retails at $235 for men’s sizes, with full-family sizing available from toddler to adult. This Christmas AJ11 is positioned to be one of the year’s most sought-after releases. Supply is limited, and competition is fierce. If you want these on your feet, you need to move fast.

How To Buy Air Jordan 11 “Gamma Blue” Online

Your best bet for securing a pair is the Nike SNKRS app, the primary hub for Jordan releases. This one is dropping at 10:00 AM EST, so make sure your payment information and shipping address are pre-loaded to shave precious seconds off checkout.

Beyond SNKRS, major retailers like Foot Locker, Champs Sports, and Kids Foot Locker are stocking the “Gamma Blue”. While many retailers closed their app entry periods earlier this week, it’s worth checking for potential shock drops or canceled reservations becoming available.

Additional options include Hibbett, Shoe Palace, DTLR, and DICK’S Sporting Goods, each operating its own online queues with varying release times. There are lots of retailers dropping this pair, so chances coul be relatively high.

How To Buy Air Jordan 11 “Gamma Blue” In Stores

Most physical locations have already conducted raffles or reservation systems, but don’t count out the in-store route entirely. Some DICK’S Sporting Goods locations, Foot Locker stores, and local boutiques may have limited walk-in inventory or leftover pairs from failed pickups.

The best move is calling nearby retailers immediately to confirm their release procedures and remaining stock. For those who strike out on retail the secondary market is still there. Platforms like GOAT and StockX offer guaranteed pairs, though you’ll pay a premium that climbs steeper the closer we get to Christmas.

Overall, expect resale prices to spike immediately after the drop before potentially stabilizing in the coming weeks.

The claims were specific, and there was no mistaking the tone. The message was clear that silence had protected power long enough. For a moment, Jackson stood in that silence-breaker role unchallenged. However, the internet has a longer memory than most PR teams bank on. It didn’t take long before the focus turned, not away from Diddy, but toward the man helping frame the fall.

Read More: 50 Cent Insists There’s No Personal Agenda Behind Diddy Docuseries

50 Cent has his own record and history of accusations, including physical assault, domestic violence, and rape. Some claims were dismissed, while others were settled. At least one is reportedly still active, yet here he was curating the public’s outrage and hosting a conversation centered on Diddy’s abuses of power. It seemed Fif was demanding answers from another man while his own name sat in court filings and headlines.

That’s the contradiction people are sitting with now. Not whether Diddy’s actions deserve exposure. They do. Conversations have been centered on whether Jackson’s role muddies the moral ground beneath it. As 50 Cent and Marlon Wayans go tit-for-tat over The Reckoning and its purpose, fans are revisiting some of the rapper’s scandals that continue to haunt him.

2013: Domestic Violence Charges & A Quiet Plea

The first public allegation came in 2013. According to Los Angeles prosecutors, Jackson showed up at the Toluca Lake home of Daphne Joy, a model and actress he’d been in a relationship with. Joy told police that Jackson kicked down her door, trashed her apartment, and kicked her during the argument. Damages were reportedly estimated at more than $7,000.

The Los Angeles City Attorney’s office filed five charges including one count of domestic violence and four counts of vandalism. Jackson didn’t fight it publicly. He pleaded no contest to a single count of vandalism and avoided jail. The domestic violence charge was dropped as part of the plea. He was sentenced to three years of probation, 30 days of community service, and court-ordered counseling.

2024: Rape & Abuse Allegations Resurface In Public

Then, in March 2024, Daphne Joy spoke again, taking to the internet to air out her grievances. On Instagram, she posted a written statement accusing Jackson of raping her and subjecting her to long-term physical abuse during their relationship. This came amid the ongoing allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, particularly when Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones reportedly referred to her as one of Diddy’s “sex workers.” Fif didn’t waste any time in trolling his ex.

“I am tired of upholding and protecting an image to our son that you have never even earned,” Joy wrote to 50 Cent on social media. “Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me,” she wrote at the time.

Jackson responded through the courts. He filed a defamation lawsuit, claiming Joy’s statements were false, malicious, and intended to damage his reputation. By September, the lawsuit was dismissed at Jackson’s request.

2025: A Civil Suit Quietly Settled

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

In early 2025, a new case appeared on the docket in Los Angeles County. The plaintiff, Guadalupe de los Santos, filed a civil lawsuit accusing Jackson of assault, battery, and negligence. In documents, de los Santos claimed that in September 2024, he was riding on a scooter on the street when 50 Cent’s SUV pulled up behind him.

De los Santos alleged he was waiting at a traffic light when “the front passenger door suddenly and forcefully opened, without warning or provocation, and struck [him] on his left side, knocking him and his scooter to the street.” Further, he alleged “an occupant of the SUV, at Defendant’s Jackson’s direction, opened the door to intentionally strike him.”

Just days before The Reckoning premiered on Netflix, the case was settled. Court filings reportedly show that Fif and de los Santos “reached an agreement in principle to resolve all claims.”

2025: A $20 Million Claim Emerges In Bankruptcy Court

By mid-2025, another allegation surfaced, and this time, it’s oddly tied to his bankruptcy filing years ago. A woman named Jahaira Rodriguez sued 50 Cent, accusing him of physical assault, as well as sexual and emotional abuse. The alleged incidents took place prior to Fif filing for Chapter 11 in 2015. His debts were reportedly discharged in 2017, and his attorneys argued that any claims made before that time, even those unknown, were cleared.

Yet, in August 2025, a judge decided that the rapper’s bankruptcy case should be reopened. Information related to Rodriguez’s suit was initially sealed “due to their potential to cause economic and/or reputational harm to” 50 Cent, documents reportedly show. Meanwhile, through his attorneys, Fif has denied allegations brought by Rodriguez.

When The Messenger Has A Record

The silence around 50 Cent’s past didn’t hold. The Reckoning may have been about Diddy, but it opened the door to conversations a lot of people have avoided or deliberately kept quiet. There’s a cost to centering yourself in someone else’s collapse. You invite attention and signal moral authority. You position yourself as different.

Still, Curtis Jackson isn’t different. There are women with stories about him, too. He’s also plagued with court filings, settlements, dropped charges, and emotional statements posted after years of silence. The details vary, but the shape is familiar. As the documentary picked up steam, those stories came back into focus.

Read More: 50 Cent Appears To Fire Back At His Ex’s Latest Explosive Allegations

This isn’t about whether 50 Cent is guilty of every allegation. It’s about what it means to take the mic while other people are still nursing the impact of your name and to tell a story about abuse while women who’ve accused you still don’t have closure. There’s no moral high ground here. Just a man with a platform and a public reckoning that, for now, stops at someone else’s front door.

Another includes the tensions between Young Thug and YFN Lucci which had reportedly began in 2015. Theirs is similar to YB and Durk’s due to it allegedly involving violence and their respective affiliates. But as of just a couple of months ago, they publicly reconciled.

Young Thug and YFN Lucci decided to drop their albums (UY SCUTI and ALREADY LEGEND.) on the same day and appear on a track of theirs. In September they shared why they decided to bury the hatchet. Both reasons were quite similar.

Per Thugger, “We came a long way from the trenches. We got rid of our problems. I hope y’all find a way to get rid of the problems y’all have in y’all life… I did that for Atlanta, for the community, for the city. We tired of losing people for nothing. Even if it is something, it’s just not worth losing people.”

How Did Young Thug & YFN Lucci End Their Beef?

As for Lucci’s point of view he said, “First off, we been through a lot. Everybody lost people; we lost people. Most important sh*t, we lost our time. We had to be away from our family. So, coming home, it’s like, damn, what the hell can a n**** do to bro? We gone’ keep doing that sh*t and end up back in jail or one of our homies dead or one of us dead? Or we gone’ fix this sh*t and make this sh*t look good for the A?”

According to 21 Savage, he had a lot to do with both of his friends reaching that conclusion. Tell Big Bank he says, “If I just watched two n****s almost lose they freedom behind some sh*t, why not bring y’all together? Why not put the bug in y’all ear?”

He continues, “They still connected on their own, I just put it in both of their ears to do it.” Savage goes on to share that he wrote to Lucci while he was still in prison and got a note back via someone in his circle saying that he’d be willing to sit down with Thug and hash things out.

Then, after Lucci returned and Thug was working on UY SCUTI, Savage says that he also pushed the latter to put Lucci on a song.

Overall, 21 saw their feud and came to the conclusion that their beef couldn’t result in anything but “death” or “jail for life.” “I f*ck with this n**** and I fuck with this n****, sh*t, try and put them together.”
