According to Complex, Powell was attending a Miami Dolphins preseason game last Friday. At one point, stadium security asked her to take her feet off the wall. She then told the staff: “Shut the fuck up talking to me.” This subsequently led to Sheriff’s deputies moderating the situation.

Powell was accused of disorderly conduct, and from there, the Hard Rock Stadium hit her with a permanent ban. If she wants to go see the Dolphins, she will have to go do it when they are on the road.

Additionally, Powell has made it crystal clear that she has no plans to dispute the decision. Clearly, she doesn’t really care.

Celina Powell In Trouble

Celina Powell has been dealing with some legal issues as of late. For instance, she was arrested last month in Miami for driving with a suspended license. As Complex reports, she has numerous citations and bench warrants for things like traffic violations, window tint, and, of course, driving without a license.

If you have followed Powell over the years, you certainly understand that she marches to the beat of her own drum. She very infamously pretended to be pregnant by Offset, all while Cardi B was pregnant herself. Furthermore, she made a career out of exposing rappers for sleeping with her.

The antics haven’t slowed down over the last decade, and with this incident at Hard Rock Stadium, she is giving no indication that they ever will.

In fact, it was announced that Young Thug’s YSL Records is partnering with Mega Millions Music for a special deal centered around Yume. TikTok’s SoundOn has joined in on this collab, as they are going to help on the distribution side.

diamond*, 1300Saint, Iyrus, Biggs, and Unky.

Yume Shows Out On “Love & Tequila” With Cash Cobain

Yume was also just featured on two songs from YSL’s latest compilation album, Slime Language 3. Needless to say, Young Thug sees the full potential in her talent. Something he expressed as the deal was announced.

“YSL has always been about pushing culture forward and giving artists the freedom to become who they’re supposed to be,” Young Thug said in a statement. “YUME has that energy—you can hear it, you can see it, and it’s global. Partnering with Mega Millions is about putting the right team and the right resources around her without changing what makes her special. We’re building something bigger.”

According to All Hip Hop, his attorney argued that the handling of the investigation was ruined from the start since the police didn’t go after key leads outside of Davis. Michael Sanft said there were plenty of people who wanted to kill Tupac at the time. And while he gave credit to the jurors for doing their job, he believed that they didn’t push back against assumptions made by the prosecution.

“They were inquisitive, but my problem is that I don’t believe they stood up at the end,” Sanft told reporters. “I think what they did is they sort of just allowed this to happen this way without challenging the premises that everyone else had.”

Keefe D’s Attorney Speaks Out

One of the premises surrounded the ownership of the white Cadillac. “What I’ll tell you flat out is that there is evidence out there of ownership of Cadillacs that was never looked into by people that had some motive here to get rid of Tupac Shakur,” he said.

The white Cadillac, of course, was the vehicle that rolled up next to the black BMW that Tupac and Suge were driving in on September 7th, 1996, when it was shot up. What Sanft took issue with is that the prosecution didn’t have a murder weapon, evidence of the rental car or whose name it was rented under, or even that Keefe D was in Las Vegas at the time of the shooting. The jurors largely relied on Keefe D’s statements to reach their verdict. Sanft thinks that the defense had an uphill battle to fight because of the failures mentioned, along with the legal motions that were shut down before the trial even began. Keefe D is expected to be sentenced on October 13th.

The style code is FZ5590-603. This is a men’s sizing release and Nike hasn’t confirmed a specific launch time just yet.

A glossy metallic red covers most of the molded upper here. Black hits the tongue, collar, lining, outsole, and Swoosh branding. That contrast keeps the shoe from feeling like one solid block of color.

The GT Future itself first debuted during NBA All-Star Weekend last year. Wale wore an early pair off-court during that same event. Several Nike athletes also tested the model on-court that weekend.

This “Varsity Red” pulls direct inspiration from the 2001 Air Hyperflight. That shoe carried the same shiny, tank-like presence back in its era. It’s a callback to a very specific stretch of early 2000s basketball style.

Molded, hard-shell sneakers like this one have come back into the sneaker conversation lately. The GT Future leans fully into that Foamposite-like territory. Between the shape and the finish, this colorway feels built for that comparison.

Foot Locker is having their Labor Day Sale with an EXTRA 25% off sale styles with code EXTRA25.

Nike GT Future “Varsity Red”

The Hyperflight wasn’t just another performance shoe back when it dropped. It became a real off-court flex during the G-Unit era. Chrome-heavy sneakers like this matched the leather and other outfits of that time.

This “Varsity Red” leans into that same energy almost 20 years later. The reflective finish looks closer to poured metal than standard synthetic leather. It’s built to stand out just as much off the court as on it, and this pair certainly achieves that.

Nike’s Greater Than line has taken some risks with the GT Future’s design. Most colorways so far have stayed fairly simple and sport-driven. This one keeps that same restraint while still making a loud statement through color alone.

For collectors chasing that early 2000s aesthetic, this release checks a lot of boxes. It’s flashy, shiny, and unmistakably rooted in that specific hip-hop-adjacent sneaker era.

Last night, Akademiks found himself particularly interested in Doodie Lo. Lo has been outside the courthouse every single day. At first, he was just there showing support. However, in recent days, he has begun streaming with N3on, while also recording music videos.

This has subsequently led to criticism from fans online who claim this does nothing to help Lil Durk. Akademiks has been one of the most critical people as it pertains to Doodie Lo, and it’s not hard to understand why.

In fact, last night, Ak had Doodie Lo on the phone with Adin Ross. That’s when Doodie Lo suggested the two link up in Miami to stream. Ak couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

DJ Akademiks On Doodie Lo

Akademiks also offered his critique of Doodie Lo’s new track “What You Done 2 Me.” He said that the song is actually pretty good, although the timing could not be any worse for Durk. Ak even spoke about how the jurors are getting restless and that they want the trial to be over. Therefore, the last thing they want to see is a music video from outside the courthouse.

The trial is expected to reach closing arguments on Tuesday before jury deliberations. If convicted, Lil Durk will face life in prison.

This remains a developing story, so be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

TMZ caught Serayah at West Hollywood hotspot Craig’s on Tuesday night when she was asked about the status between herself and Joey. During the brief interview, she said that they’re both “doing great” while asserting that both of them are “hoping for the best.” Although she didn’t say a whole lot during the encounter with the paps, it was enough to spark speculation that they were back together, especially since she didn’t confirm or deny whether she returned the engagement ring. Most interpreted it as the two working out their problems privately, though comments from her rep indicate that isn’t the case at all.

In a message shared to social media last week, Serayah announced that they parted ways after “repeated infidelity.”

“After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to end my engagement and relationship with the father of my child, Joey. I loved deeply, believed wholeheartedly in the life we were building, and wanted nothing more than to protect our family,” she said. “Unfortunately, I also had to face a painful truth: there had been repeated infidelity throughout our relationship, including during some of the most vulnerable and meaningful moments of my life.”

Ultimately, she said that the two of them were focused on raising their son, who they welcomed together in June 2025, followed by the announcement of their engagement. No word from Joey yet on the matter but we’ll keep you poted on any further updates.

Those grills left a lasting impression on fans. That is why some were concerned when a jeweler by the name of Don Rose took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal that they had made some new grills for Ye. The grills look beautiful and are exceptionally clean. Unfortunately, some fans thought this might be a bad sign of what was to come.

However, Kanye West was quick to respond to the jeweler. When a Ye fan page on X reposted Don Rose, Ye entered the comments saying, “I don’t know who this person is. I didn’t order these.”

Kanye West Clarifies The Truth

Ye’s response currently has one million views on the X platform. Meanwhile, he also accrued 70K likes. It just goes to show that whenever West gets back on the platform, his fans are quick to support.

All of this comes as Ye recently unveiled three new tour dates in the American Southwest. In October, he will perform in Texas twice, and he has a November date planned for Phoenix, Arizona.

It’s been a relatively quiet time for Ye amid these shows. He has committed to apologizing for his past actions, and he has not been in a public controversy in months. Fans are hopeful that this lasts for an infinite amount of time.

As for the grills, Don Rose has yet to respond.

The allegations arrive after years in which concern about Dex has repeatedly outweighed his music career. Public incidents involving former partners have followed him, while substance abuse concerns eventually became serious enough that people close to him pushed for treatment. At different points, other rappers publicly tried to intervene as his legal problems continued to grow.

There have also been periods when Dex appeared to be moving in a different direction. Rehab stays were followed by claims of sobriety, and he spoke openly about feeling healthier while returning his attention to music. The latest arrest now brings some of the most troubling episodes of his career back into focus. Rather than an exhaustive account of every controversy attached to his name, these are the moments that have most clearly defined the instability surrounding Famous Dex outside the studio.

The 2016 Domestic Violence Video Changed How Fans Saw Him

One of the earliest controversies to follow Dex came in 2016, when security footage surfaced showing him chasing a woman through a hallway before striking her several times. Singer Tish Hyman, who posted the footage, said the incident happened at her home and identified the woman as Dex’s girlfriend. The FADER reported that Dex apologized after the video circulated, while also accusing the woman of cheating on him.

The incident remained part of his public reputation as his career grew. During a 2018 appearance on Open Late With Peter Rosenberg, Dex addressed it more directly. “I was wrong to put my hands on a woman,” he said, according to Complex. He described the episode as a mistake he needed to learn from and said his children would eventually know about it.

Dex also discussed the video on The Breakfast Club that year, saying he wanted to be “truly forgiven” and warning younger fans that putting their hands on women could cost them greatly. The acknowledgment suggested he understood how seriously the footage had changed perceptions of him. Within months, however, another concern about Dex was becoming increasingly difficult for those around him to ignore.

Addiction Concerns Became Impossible To Ignore

Unease around Dex moved dramatically in late 2018 after he appeared to nod off during an Instagram Live. He later said he had simply been exhausted, but TMZ reported that people close to him believed opioids were involved and had already tried to get him into treatment. According to the outlet, someone was often kept near Dex to ensure he remained coherent enough to work, and at times someone even slept beside him because those around him were worried about his condition. That same year, Dex had also been arrested in New York on an outstanding warrant after missing a court date connected to a public drinking violation. Police initially encountered him while investigating other people at a Manhattan hotel for alleged credit card fraud, but his representatives said he had no involvement in that case.

Fears resurfaced in 2020 when new videos prompted another round of concern from fans and peers. NLE Choppa publicly called on 300 Entertainment to surround Dex with people who genuinely cared about him, while Rich The Kid became more directly involved. By December, Dex had entered rehab with Rich’s help, according to Complex. Rich later shared an update from treatment, where Dex said he had learned a great deal during his first 22 days there.

The intervention was significant because his problems were no longer playing out only as troubling clips online. People in his circle were openly trying to get him through treatment while his legal troubles were beginning to intensify. That overlap would define the next stretch of his career.

Arrests And Domestic Violence Cases Piled Up

The legal problems accelerated in late 2020. Police responded to separate domestic violence allegations involving two former girlfriends, including one incident that led to a SWAT response at Dex’s home. A traffic stop the following March added a gun case after officers said they found a loaded firearm beneath his seat. Prosecutors ultimately filed 19 charges stemming from the three incidents. The counts included domestic violence offenses and illegal firearm possession. Dex later pleaded not guilty.

Even appearing in court created another problem. During a June 2021 hearing on those charges, authorities alleged that Dex had violated a protective order connected to one of the earlier domestic violence cases. He was taken into custody from the courtroom and held on $200,000 bond. TMZ reported that the arrest came as Dex was already fighting the larger group of charges filed against him that Spring.

His time in custody eventually became substantial. Dex was formally sentenced in September 2021 to 364 days in Los Angeles County jail. The sentence arrived less than a year after friends and fellow artists had been publicly trying to steer him toward treatment, leaving his legal problems and attempts at recovery increasingly tangled together.

Sobriety Offered Hope Before Another Arrest

The jail sentence did not end Dex’s attempts at recovery. After another stint in custody in 2022 over protective-order violations, he went directly into rehab, according to TMZ. It was his second reported stay in treatment, and people close to him said he planned to remain there for several months. Earlier that year, Dex had publicly said he was five months sober.

There were signs the effort might be holding. In April 2023, Dex told TMZ that he had been drug-free for 11 months and felt healthier than he had in years. He was talking about music again and encouraging others dealing with addiction to keep going. After so much public concern, it was one of the clearest stretches in which his story seemed to be moving away from crisis.

The August 2026 arrest has complicated that picture. Dex was booked in Las Vegas on a domestic battery charge after Pam Rodriguez accused him of assaulting her, bringing the feature back to the allegations that opened it. Dex has denied the accusation. Body-camera footage obtained by TMZ shows him telling police that he and Rodriguez never fought and accusing her of being motivated by money.

For years, Famous Dex’s career has moved between moments of intervention and another serious problem demanding attention. Rehab gave him periods of apparent stability, and people around him repeatedly tried to help him hold onto them. His latest arrest does not erase those efforts, but it does place him back inside a cycle that has followed him for much of his adult career.

Per Complex, Wednesday delved into footage and digital forensics surrounding Durk’s whereabouts in the moments leading up to his arrest. One video showed Jason Smith, Lil Durk’s business partner, being searched by SWAT as he left his home. Then, there were phone records, text message chains, and GPS data of Kayvon “OTF Vonnie” Grant, a cooperating witness, traveling to Durk’s rental home in Encino, CA. Then, there were records that alleged Durk purchased burner phones and changed his number.

Lil Durk’s Escape Plan, Explained

Agent Burke alleged that Smith informed Durk of the six search warrants that were executed on the morning of November 24th, 2024. However, there was also a paper trail of Durk’s supposed “escape plan.” Burke reportedly testified that an hour after Smith warned him of the 6 a.m. search warrants, Durk booked a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Zurich to Dubai. The agent also said that federal agents had been notified of other flights, including one from Miami to Dubai and a private flight from Dubai to Turin, Italy. Ultimately, the feds picked up Durk at the Fort Lauderdale airport’s FBO side. 

This week, the judge provided jurors a tentative date to expect the trial to end. The prosecution has two more witnesses who will take the stand, while the defense is expected to complete cross-examination by Friday. Ultimately, this could mean that closing statements will rest on Tuesday since Monday is Labor Day. We will keep you posted on any further updates.
