Quotable Lyrics from Bruddas

My jeans Chrome, they not Purple, fifty-five a pint, I pourin’ syrup up
She don’t wanna stay, I won’t make her, the ho come home, she ain’t faithful
I took her phone and NDA’d her, even my cologne is non disclosure
Every young n***a I’m ridin’ with got a box, shoulda rented a U-Haul truck

The collection leans into a dark color palette with red accents throughout. Black dominates most of the footwear and bag options, with Louboutin’s signature red showing up in the lining, branding, and select full-red styles.

The pieces visible in the images circulating online reflect a mix of formal and streetwear influences. Loafers, derbies, and sneakers also appear in the lineup alongside a range of bags.

Smith first showed an early version of the collection at Paris Fashion Week in January. The full release this week also gives a more complete picture of what he has put together for the brand. A campaign shot inside a chateau accompanies the collection and features a group of people styled in pieces from the line.

Now, to mark the launch, Smith is hosting events this month in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Paris, and London. Overall the collection represents his most significant fashion project to date and his first full season running a luxury brand.

Jaden Smith’s Christian Louboutin Collection

Smith’s appointment at Christian Louboutin came as a surprise to many in the fashion industry when it was announced in 2025. He was known as a musician and actor before taking on the role.

The Paris Fashion Week preview in January was an early look at his direction for the brand, and the response from fashion media was mixed. Some praised the creative approach while others were more skeptical.

Further, the full collection released this week also gives a clearer sense of where he is taking the brand. The pieces span a range of categories beyond just footwear, which signals that his role extends well beyond shoe design.

Red remains a consistent thread throughout the collection, which keeps it connected to what Christian Louboutin is already known for. Overall the campaign really ties everything together visually.

According to the complaint, the outstanding balance stems from a series of invoices and agreements that the plaintiffs say were acknowledged by entities connected to the Grammy-winning rapper but remain unpaid. It’s reported that Six K and Archibald claim “each invoice is supported by a deal memo that was acknowledged by the related Stallion entity via email” for “$53,800, and includes the cost of prep days, assistants and three gowns.” Yet, Megan Thee Stallion has pushed back against the allegations.

Megan Thee Stallion Denies The Allegations

At the center of the dispute are claims that repeated attempts to collect payment failed to produce a resolution. Archibald and Six K allege the debt includes not only styling fees but costs associated with assistants, preparation work, garments, and outside vendors involved in executing high-profile appearances. Megan, however, is strongly disputing the allegations. In a statement addressing the lawsuit, the rapper said her financial team conducted an internal review.

“My finance team conducted a comprehensive audit of Eric Archibald’s wardrobe expenses and uncovered fraudulent invoices, unsupported charges, and styling shipments tied to addresses that could not be verified,” the statement reads, according to PEOPLE. “Those findings raised serious concerns about the legitimacy of expenses that we repeatedly tried to resolve privately with Eric’s team. Rather than address the issues from the audit, Eric and his team chose to file a lawsuit. The facts are on our side, and I won’t be coerced into paying charges that can’t be substantiated.”

In court filings, reported by Variety, M.I.A. and her team allege: “Here is the truth. M.I.A. was terminated to generate publicity for the Tour, which has struggled with ticket sales… She was contractually allowed to say whatever she wanted on stage. M.I.A. now holds Kid Cudi accountable for his bad faith destruction of her contractual rights, business opportunities, and reputation.”

M.I.A. Shares How She Found Out She Was Off The Tour

In an interview with Popcast, M.I.A. said that Cudi didn’t even let her know there was a problem.

“He didn’t call me. He didn’t talk to my crew,” she said. “I go to talk to him and he didn’t see me. Yeah, it was kind of like, crazy. And then my son is like, ‘Hey, I heard you’re not on the tour.’ And I’m waking up the next morning. That’s how I found out. From a different state. My son called me from school, and he’s like, ‘Oh, I guess you’re coming home.'” She said she had no idea what he was referring to. “And he sent me the post [from Kid Cudi].”

“I think that Cudi fans didn’t know my songs. I was skipping through them, but really, I was just sort of playing them ten seconds each. But, when I got to ‘Illygirl,’ which is my favorite song, by the way, I was like, ‘Oh, I can’t do that, but we can do ‘Teqkilla,’ and I played ‘Teqkilla,’ but I think people thought we can’t do ‘Illygirl’… but the whole song’s chorus is saying I’m illegal.”

M.I.A. added that she understood the backlash, but she disagreed with the perspective that she was simply some MAGA artist pushing an agenda. “That is what the media wrote as what’s going on. That was the perception that was generated, and fanned, and algorithimized to cement a narrative. Because the narrative is that of a brown woman who is an immigrant. And no matter what Americans think about that, they can never remove that.”

To help hype his releases, YG caught up with DJ Hed to talk about his evolution. “The goal of this album, I’m coming for my respect,” said YG. “I know I did it to myself, so I gotta get this sh*t back up out the mud. So, as a songwriter, as an artist, I’m coming for respect. I’m doing all—I ain’t never got a BET Award nomination…for nothing. Not the BET Hip Hop Awards, I think I got one of those for “My N*gga” back in the day, but…for nothing, bro.” He said in his “whole 10 years” he’s “been in the game,” he hasn’t been recognized by the major award ceremonies. “I always felt some type of way.”

YG Takes Wisdom From Kendrick Lamar

Fellow rapper and Compton star Kendrick Lamar offered YG a bit of advice on navigating his trajectory. “I was talking to Dot, I’m playing him the album and sh*t,” said YG. “I’m telling him about what I was doing, like putting out albums just to get out the deal ’cause my deal was f*cked up… He was like, ‘Bro, you ain’t never supposed to do that. Music cannot—you gotta give it your all every time.'”

YG said he admitted he “f*cked up” and now he’s “coming for everything.” Watch DJ Hed chop it up with YG below.

The chain is a detailed, three-dimensional piece rather than a flat pendant. Early production photos showed the figure broken down into individual components before assembly, giving a closer look at how the piece was constructed.

The finished version shows a diamond-encrusted figure hanging from a diamond tennis chain. The level of detail in the pendant is visible in the close-up photos that were shared alongside the finished piece.

Chalamet has been a visible presence at Knicks games throughout the postseason. His appearances at Madison Square Garden have generated consistent coverage across sports and entertainment media. The chain added another layer of attention to his Game 1 appearance.

The Crown Collection is a jewelry brand that has produced custom pieces for various celebrities and athletes. The Marty Supreme connects the chain directly to Chalamet’s current cultural moment.

The Crown Collection has built a reputation for detailed custom jewelry work over the years. Their pieces tend to lean toward these pendants with high levels of craftsmanship.

Also the figure itself mirrors the classic Jumpman silhouette closely, which connects the piece to Jordan Brand iconography without being an official product. Chalamet’s film “Marty Supreme” released earlier this year and centered on competitive ping pong at the highest level.

The chain draws a direct line between his film work and his presence at the Knicks games during the Finals run. Finally the Crown Collection confirmed their involvement by being credited in the posts that shared images of the finished piece.

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” is going to drop on July 18th, 2026.

The colorway features a white tumbled leather upper as its base. True Blue hits the eyelets, lace tips, midsole, and Nike Air branding on the heel, giving the shoe its name.

Grey elephant print overlays appear on the toe box and heel in the standard AJ3 placement. Red accents show up on the Jumpman logo on the tongue and the three dots on the ankle, adding a third color to the palette.

The Nike Air heel branding is present on this version, which has been a big point of discussion across recent AJ3 retros. Collectors have paid particular attention to whether that detail appears on each new release of the silhouette.

The “True Blue” name has history with the Air Jordan 3. Previous versions of this colorway have released over the years, making this another chapter in a longer retro cycle. A July release would put it on shelves relatively soon based on current reports.

Air Jordan 3 “True Blue”

The Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” colorway has appeared in various forms across multiple retro cycles. The combination of white leather, true blue accents, and grey elephant print is one of the more recognizable makeups on the silhouette.

This version appears to restore the Nike Air branding on the heel. It continues a trend seen in recent AJ3 retros that has drawn attention from collectors who prefer that detail over the Jumpman heel logo used in earlier retros.

The red accents on the tongue and ankle keep the shoe from reading as too simple despite the relatively clean base. True Blue as a color sits between royal and carolina blue, which gives the shoe a distinct look compared to other blue-accented AJ3 releases.

A July release would make this one of the more prominent Jordan Brand drops of the summer period.

In a clip caught by JBTV Community on Twitter, Budden expressed how the Drizzy diss bothers him because “we all looked up to [Hov],” making Jay’s affirmation that he “never looked up to” the 6ix God more of an agreed-upon assumption than an insult. He found it unnecessary, but Emanny brought up how The Boy rapped about taking the $500K over a dinner with Hov. As such, he believes Jay was defending the notion that people would take the dinner, and Ice posited that there’s more to that line.

More specifically, he pointed to Drake surpassing Jay-Z’s Billboard record, theorizing that the former was “looking up” at the latter in that specific aspect, whereas the Roc Nation mogul is on another level. “[Drake] cared about the number ones, [Jay-Z’s] up ten. I’m still up from where you at,” Ice remarked.

On the other hand, Joe Budden took issue with Jay downplaying the OVO mogul’s success. But Emanny pointed out how Budden has looked down on podcasters he sees beneath him, such as the Rory and Mal fallout. “I wouldn’t do it if I was a billionaire,” Joe clapped back.

Joe Budden’s Reaction To Jay-Z

Previously, Joe Budden criticized Jay-Z’s freestyle disses because he felt like they were beneath him. As one of the biggest rappers ever with billionaire status, Budden didn’t want to see Jay in this more petty and combative position. Also, he pointed out how Hov previously criticized battling in today’s culture during his GQ interview, finding this to be a hypocritical change.

Considering the Joe Budden and Drake beef, many JBP fans will likely express surprise at this assessment. But we’ll see if there is anything more to this story moving forward. After all, some fans expect a Drizzy response, whereas others think Jay will keep this energy on a new album.

Yesterday (Thursday, June 4), prosecutors reportedly filed a third superseding indictment against The Voice in California. It added the additional charges of conspiracy to commit stalking and murder in aid of racketeering.

The music video in question is reportedly an unreleased visual for the song “Redman” that allegedly shows Durk shooting and killing a Rondo lookalike. As for the alleged Von statement, this came from an alleged text message of Smurk’s prosecutors also included in the indictment.

“This indictment is lipstick on a pig,” Lil Durk’s legal team stated. “For nearly two years now, federal prosecutors have desperately tried to fend off challenges to a very weak case. Now, just two months before trial, a trial that Durk Banks has demanded at every turn, they pull this pathetic pivot, recycling old accusations into a scrambling prosecutor’s back-up plan: allege racketeering and as many unrelated false claims as possible. This is not a sign of strength. It’s an acknowledgment of weakness. The fact remains: Durk Banks is innocent, no matter how many indictments they want to throw at him.”

When Is Lil Durk’s Trial?

Prosecutors are accusing Lil Durk of ordering a hit on Quando Rondo back in 2022. This was in alleged retaliation for the murder of King Von in 2020, whose murderer was allegedly Quando affiliate Lul Tim.

Federal authorities claim Durk paid five men to travel to Los Angeles and murder Rondo. A shooting against him that year in L.A. resulted in the death of Quando’s cousin Lul Pab. All six codefendants pleaded not guilty and await a scheduled trial start date of August 20.

Throughout it all, Lil Durk is trying to stay positive. His mother recently said he’s “doing pretty good” in prison and cut off his locks ahead of the trial.

KicksFinder reports that the Jalen Brunson x Nike Kobe 5 Protro PE “NY vs. NY” is going to release on July 1st, 2026.

The colorway is built around a mint green base with blue and orange detailing throughout. The blue and orange combination connects directly to the New York Knicks color scheme. The “NY vs. NY” name references the Knicks and Nets sharing the same city, which gives the shoe a local New York narrative. The overall look is relatively bold compared to standard Kobe 5 Protro colorways.

Brunson has been one of the more prominent players in the NBA this season and led the Knicks deep into the playoffs. His visibility during the postseason put the shoe in front of a large audience before any release details were confirmed. Nike has been releasing a steady stream of Kobe 5 Protro colorways over the past couple of years.

A PE release like this one follows a fairly standard path. If the Knicks are able to close this season out with a Final win, the shoe will only be a bigger deal.

Jalen Brunson x Nike Kobe 5 Protro PE “NY vs. NY”

The Nike Kobe 5 Protro is a updated version of Kobe Bryant’s fifth signature shoe, which originally released in 2009. Nike has been bringing back various Kobe 5 colorways and player exclusives with regularity since reintroducing the Protro line.

Player exclusive versions tied to current NBA stars have become a consistent part of that rollout. Brunson wearing a PE during the playoffs is a familiar format for how these shoes tend to get introduced publicly.

The Knicks color scheme fits naturally onto the Kobe 5 Protro shape, and the mint green base gives the shoe a distinct look within the broader Kobe 5 catalog. The “NY vs. NY” name adds a narrative layer that connects the shoe to a specific rivalry and city identity.
