Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman also says that d4vd is alleged to have possibly committed one count of murder. It’s worth clarifying though that the “There Goes My Baby” artist has not been charged nor arrested.

This update came to light after the initially sealed filings from this case which have been submitted in California, made their way to a Texas court, therefore unsealing them.

In addition, this seems to be an effort to force the Burke family’s hands. d4vd’s (David Anthony Burke) mother, father, and brother have been arguing against testifying.

When Did Celeste Rivas Go Missing?

Earlier this month, they argued that the request for them to appear in court violated their due process rights. Specifically, they claimed they received redacted versions of the affidavits. They were used to support a lower Texas court’s order that previously attempted to summon them.

But now that d4vd is the formal focus of this investigative grand jury, they may wind up having no choice.

As for the Rivas family, this may feel like a baby step into receiving answers they deserve. But it’s certainly progress and one that could speed things up going forward.

Celeste had been reported as missing from her Lake Elsinore, California home in April 2024. The search came to a horrifying end last September when Celeste’s remains were found in the front trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to d4vd.

In the months following this revelation, authorities and netizens were trying to piece together how the underaged Celeste could be connected to the superstar. It seems the grand jury has discovered that coveted information and they will do what they can moving forward.

“He alleges that he caught Althea attempting to remove their son from school despite him being the sole custodial parent,” her tweet reads, per The Neighborhood Talk. “He says he chased them to the car, and during the chaos, Diamond from Love & Hip Hop allegedly struck him with her new vehicle.”

Diamond, on the other hand, is telling a completely different story. In a clip from a recent livestream, also shared by The Neighborhood Talk, she calls cap on Benzino’s claims.

“Sending me a picture with your no neck a** laying with a f*cking brace on your neck talking about ‘I struck you with my new car.’ And then how do you even know my car new? Like n****s is weird as f*ck,” she said. “So I came on here to clear my name up because b*tch, nobody hit you with no motherf*cking car. You’re weird as f*ck. That ain’t got sh*t to do with me. I was bringing my friend to come check on her son and do a wellness check on her son.”

“She has primary custody,” Diamond continued. “She has paperwork to prove that. That’s why when we got to the scene, she called the police and told them, ‘I’m checking on my son,’ provided paperwork, xyz. Now all of a sudden, you’re in the hospital with a brace on your neck. When the doctor records come back, I’m sure it’s gonna show that n***a, you did not get hit by a f*cking car.”

Diamond went on to claim that she’s prepared to take legal action to defend her name if necessary.

Recently, Adam had on none other than Deen The Great. If you have been paying attention to Deen The Great this week, you would have noticed by now that the guy is getting punched and slapped in the face everywhere he goes. He makes a living off rage bait and disrespectful antics. In today’s world of streaming, he is nothing new. However, he has become a sensation for putting his body on the line.

On the most recent episode of No Jumper, Deen The Great almost got beaten up again. This time around, he made some disrespectful comments about Lena The Plug. While Adam22 has heard worse about his wife in the past, he wasn’t going to let any of this slide. He subsequently kicked Deen off his podcast, and that was that.

Things eventually got spicier, however, as Deen The Great eventually went live on stream from the comfort of his own home following the ordeal. It was here that he had some harsh words for Adam.

Deen The Great Goes Off

Above, you can see Deen accuse Adam of calling the cops on him. He also says that Adam refused to pay the streamer $5K. Apparently, this is the appearance fee for No Jumper. The fact that Adam pays at all is interesting, given that most interviews are conducted for free.

Either way, it is clear to us that Deen The Great is making enemies with practically everyone these days. He has very little regard for people’s space, and it has led to some tough situations for those who cross paths with him.

Whether or not he becomes just another flash in the pan streamer is something that still very much remains to be seen. Clearly, he wants to be much more.

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Air Jordan 4 “Bred” will be released on Black Friday, 2026. This means the pair drops on Friday, Nov 27th, 2026.

Black leather dominates the entire upper creating that classic “Bred” aesthetic. Varsity red accents hit the eyelets, Jumpman logo, and midsole details. White edges on the upper panels represent a return to the original 1989 construction.

These white edges have been absent from recent “Bred” Jordan 4 releases. The 2019 version featured all-black construction without the white trim details. This 2026 release restores the shoe closer to its original form.

The MJ face box adds another layer of nostalgia and collectibility. This packaging hasn’t been used for many recent Jordan 4 releases. Having both OG details makes this the most accurate “Bred” retro in years.

That signature plastic wing eyelets maintain the classic Jordan 4 design language. Also visible Air unit in the heel provides cushioning and retro styling. The black and red color scheme remains one of Jordan’s most iconic combinations.

End of year timing positions this perfectly for holiday shopping season excitement. Overall the “Bred” colorway consistently sells out.

Getting the OG white edges back is absolutely huge for “Bred” Jordan 4 purists. Those white trim details make such a difference in the overall look and accuracy.

The all-black version from 2019 was clean but missing that original construction touch. Black and varsity red is one of the most timeless color combos in sneaker history. Having the MJ face box packaging makes this feel like a proper anniversary-level release.

The “Bred” colorway works year-round and goes with basically everything in your wardrobe. This might be the most accurate “Bred” Jordan 4 retro we’ve gotten in decades.

Both the shoe details and packaging show Jordan Brand is listening to what collectors want. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $220 when they drop.

Recently, Spotify sparked some controversy when they came through with their next leaders of hip-hop campaign. In the campaign were artists like Baby Keem, Doechii, Sexyy Red, and Rod Wave. Some felt like the list was lacking those who are currently on a true rise to superstardom. For instance, Yeat somehow did not make the list.

Akademiks was paying attention to the list, and he was not fully amused with what he was seeing. So much so that he had to make a comment on his stream about the ordeal.

In the end, Akademiks called out why there is this rush to crown new leaders for hip-hop. In Ak’s mind, some of these artists should already be leaders when you consider the industry push around them.

DJ Akademiks Calls Out Spotify

When Drake and Kendrick Lamar ascended to new heights, it was clear from the get-go that they were dominating the music industry. The same cannot be said of the artists that Spotify is pushing. At the time, it was organic to say Drake, Kendrick, and even Cole were the leaders of the new school. But now, it feels like platforms such as Spotify are desperate for certain artists to catch on.

Akademiks notes that the current class of rap stars has yet to produce a true leader. It’s unfortunate, but it is the complete truth. There is still a lot to be done right now, and hip-hop won’t be able to thrive properly unless the youth come in and completely take over.

This Spotify situation is interesting as it comes across like the industry is telling us, as opposed to showing us. The proof just isn’t there yet to say Baby Keem is a new leader in hip-hop. Can it happen someday? Absolutely. Has it happened yet? No.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 5 OG “White Metallic” will be released on April 25th, 2026.

White leather dominates the entire upper creating a clean premium foundation. Metallic silver accents hit the tongue, lace locks, and reflective 3M panels. The combination creates that iconic “White Metallic” aesthetic from the original 1990 release.

That signature shark tooth design appears along the white midsole as expected. Translucent icy blue outsoles complete the bottom maintaining the classic Jordan 5 look. The silhouette remains unchanged from the original Tinker Hatfield design.

Nike Air branding on the heel represents a change from recent releases. Most Jordan 5 retros have featured Jumpman logos on the heel instead. This return to Nike Air brings the shoe closer to its original form.

The “White Metallic” colorway remains one of the most beloved Jordan 5s ever. Its clean aesthetic works perfectly for any season or outfit combination. The shoe carries significant history from Michael Jordan’s championship runs in the early 90s.

The all-white leather with metallic silver accents is such a timeless combination. That clean aesthetic never goes out of style no matter how many years pass. Having Nike Air back on the heel is huge for purists who want OG accuracy.

The translucent icy blue outsole adds just enough color without overwhelming the white upper. Those reflective 3M tongue panels still look incredible when light hits them right. The shark tooth midsole design remains one of the most distinctive elements in Jordan history.

This colorway basically goes with everything making it super versatile for daily wear. Getting Nike Air branding instead of Jumpman makes this feel like a proper retro release. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $215 when they drop.

On Wednesday, it looked as though the beef was finally coming to an end. Everyone was going to let bygones be bygones and just leave one another alone for the time being. As it turns out, that is not happening anymore.

Last night, T.I. came through with yet another diss track for 50 Cent. This one felt considerably more disrespectful than the last one, and social media certainly had some thoughts.

Prior to this diss track, 50 Cent had deleted all of his posts on social media. It felt like he had turned a corner when it came to pettiness. However, he was not going to let this new diss track slide. As soon as it dropped, he was right back to Instagram being messy.

50 Cent Responds To T.I.

After posting another photo of Tiny, 50 Cent came through with a “Stupid Award” in which he accused T.I. of using ChatGPT to write some of his lyrics. It was a pretty brutal diss, and one that T.I. certainly isn’t going to take very kindly to.

Having said that, it does not appear as though we are going to get a real diss track from Fif. That ship has completely sailed, and we don’t think it is ever coming back around. The artist seems more content trolling. Not to mention, the optics of him not responding while T.I. drops three tracks back-to-back is objectively pretty funny.

It just goes to show that T.I. is taking the feud a lot more seriously than 50 Cent is. This will either escalate further, or it is simply going to crumble. Only time will tell.

Awards & Commercial Performance

Unfortunately, “Uber Everywhere” was never a song to make its way into awards conversations. However, it did debut at 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 before eventually peaking at 51. The song is now two-times platinum in the United States, further cementing its legacy in the hip-hop world.

Ca$ino is not the coronation some may have anticipated. Instead, it functions as a recognition of the projection surrounding him since his debut. The record feels larger and more deliberate than The Melodic Blue, trading some of that project’s youthful volatility for a sharper, more controlled ambition. The album leans inward rather than outward through polished yet explosive production, using a three-part documentary companion piece to reinforce its autobiographical intentions.

Family life and romantic relationships have always framed the Baby Keem narrative, but here the storytelling feels more direct. The album’s production strategy mirrors that intimacy. Lush melodic sampling layered over knocking percussion that keeps emotional confession from feeling static. The Natalie Bergman sample on “No Security” exemplifies this balance, her voice repeating, “I just want the truth, all I want is you.” Keem answers with measured restraint, exposing survivor’s remorse after the death of his uncle, the quiet maternal influence of his partner, and the complicated psychological weight of financial success transforming into obligation. One of the record’s most revealing moments arrives when he raps, “My mama look at me just like she goin’ to the bank.” It’s a sobering line that collapses celebration and burden into the same emotional space.

The album also represents a moment of growth beyond the meme persona that has followed him across the internet. Much of Keem’s early cultural footprint was built on humor–fragmented, trend-aware writing that circulated well within Instagram timelines but sometimes risked flattening emotional complexity. Tracks like “I Am Not a Lyricist” lean into that irony directly. The title itself functions as misdirection, since his delivery carries the intensity and rhythmic aggression often associated with Kendrick Lamar’s technical cadences. Yet the goal is not lyrical exhibitionism. Keem’s strength has never been virtuosity in the traditional sense; it is attitude, melody, and the ability to capture social energy in compressed form.

That simplicity is arguably his greatest artistic asset. Baby Keem’s writing rarely overcomplicates its emotional targets. His melodies are direct, his phrasing economical, and his production tends to rely on skeletal frameworks where bass and drum patterns shoulder the structural weight. The result feels instinctive rather than overengineered. It also explains why industry belief in his potential has persisted. Observing Keem is less about hearing technical mastery and more about sensing creative direction. 

This instinctive quality carries through records like “Highway 95 Pt. 2” and “No Shame,” which function as narrative checkpoints inside the album’s emotional architecture. “No Shame” ultimately operates as the project’s most devastating confession. Over thumping percussion and stark piano chords, Keem reconstructs fragments of childhood trauma through haunting imagery — cigarette smoke transforming domestic spaces into something ghostlike, and reflections on his mother’s substance struggles during pregnancy. The record avoids accusatory framing. Instead, it centers on forgiveness, positioning love and trauma as coexisting forces that shaped his worldview, a moment of reconciliation after all is said and done. 

The collaborative chemistry between Keem and Kendrick remains one of the album’s defining artistic assets. Their work together does not aim for the seismic cultural disruption that accompanied earlier hits like “Family Ties.” Instead, tracks such as “Good Flirts” and “House Money” emphasize continuity rather than spectacle. On “Good Flirts,” Momo Boyd’s seductive vocal presence complements Keem’s R&B-influenced cadence while Kendrick’s appearance functions less as a dominating verse and more as tonal seasoning, even with a humorous jab at Young Thug’s jail call flubs.

“House Money” trades blockbuster energy for chemistry. The production remains high-octane, but the track feels less like a cultural event and more like confirmation that their artistic dialogue operates comfortably across eras. When Keem declares, “He put his name on his chain, what the f*ck he got a name for? N**as know my name, what the f*ck I need the chain for?” the line reflects a broader thematic posture: confidence grounded in self-recognition rather than material validation.

The project’s pop sensibility is most visible on “$ex Appeal,” a West Coast-leaning record built for seasonal dominance. The collaboration with Too $hort carries generational symbolism, bridging Bay Area rap lineage with Keem’s internet-era stylization. If the record fails to secure late-career recognition for Too $hort, it certainly will not be due to lack of execution. 

In some ways, Baby Keem’s artistic identity is shaped by his generation’s relationship with online culture. Born in 2000, his music carries the literacy of meme discourse, irony functioning as emotional insulation, flexes constructed from conversational internet language, and romantic or financial boasting framed through absurdist detachment. This can occasionally risk dating the writing, but more often it strengthens relatability by translating private insecurity into shared digital expression.

Ultimately, an album like Ca$ino could have collapsed under the projection placed on its creator. The extended gap between projects amplified expectations, particularly given the narrative surrounding his role within a creative collective that prioritizes storytelling and aesthetic continuity over algorithms. As of now, Keem is not a household name in the traditional pop-crossover sense, and Ca$ino may not be the vehicle that forces that transformation immediately. But perhaps that is not the objective. Ca$ino ultimately is another entry in Baby Keem’s catalog that builds toward longevity, and maybe that’s more compelling to his story at a time when instant gratification is the norm.

User Reviews

HotNewHipHop users rated Baby Keem’s Ca$ino 4.14 out of 5 stars based on 14 reviews. One user wrote, “mr two phone still havin fun with it, awesome listen.” Another said, “I’ve Had This Album On Repeat Since It Dropped. No Skips!”

“This the price of being black and trying to help somebody, trying to help your community,” he stated. “I’m going to go turn myself in though cuz I ain’t did nothing.”

Wack has since denied the allegations. Now, he’s even threatening to take legal action against Big U if he refuses to set the record straight.

Wack 100 Responds To Big U

A post shared by Baller Alert (@balleralert)

“I got a tough decision to make. Big U, when he turned his self in, made accusations that Wack 100 and 600… Was working with the feds take him down. He said this to the world,” he explained, as seen in a clip shared by Baller Alert. “My legal team, when it comes to my overall businesses and things that I do, they have some say-so in this matter. So I’ve been fighting them and fighting them on what I didn’t want to do, which is file anything against Big U for defamation and slander, as I did with Worldstar and LA Media, and I won that case, and I got paid.”⁠

“I’m trying my best to keep my legal team from doing what they feel they’re obligated to do because my legal team is also my business partners in a lot of my business,” he continued. “And they felt like in the long run it could affect the business.”

“We need a statement retracting that,” Wack concluded. “Matter of fact, in federal court, they addressed it and went on the record and said that they’ve never talked to, dealt with, communicated, spoke to Wack 100 and 600 regarding any of these things..I need that retraction. If not, I’m letting y’all know…I’m going to be forced to go at any and everything; catalogs, real estate, whatever he might have any type of possession of ownership of. I’m going to be forced to go at it.”⁠
