Kanye West Adds Ms. Lauryn Hill & Don Toliver To Re-Mixed “BULLY” Deluxe

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 16:55:51 +0000

Kanye West fans were disappointed yesterday morning (Friday, Juneteenth) when his BULLY deluxe didn’t arrive on time. But they eventually got it hours later, and the results are quite interesting. Most notably, this expanded version of Ye’s latest full-length includes two new song (including a Don Toliver collab), a remix from the one and only Ms. Lauryn Hill, and new mixes across the whole tracklist.

Don’s appearance is on “OK,” whereas the other new song is a Kanye solo cut called “MISSION CONTROL.” While many fans hoped these would appear on the original tracklist, at least they got them eventually.

Meanwhile, the Fugees legend appears for the chorus of “I CAN’T WAIT,” and this follows her appearance at Ye’s SoFi Stadium show earlier this year. All the other BULLY features are here: Travis Scott, CeeLo Green, André Troutman, Peso Pluma, and Nine Vicious.

Some fans also speculated that this deluxe release features re-recorded versions of vocals that previously used artificial intelligence. But as far as specific mixing and mastering details for this deluxe update, we’ll see if we get a more verifiable breakdown.

Footage of Ms. Lauryn Hill working with Ye in the studio surfaced soon after her SoFi appearance. So the arrival of the “I CAN’T WAIT” remix should come as no surprise. Still, it did get her significant backlash from some corners due to Kanye West’s previous controversies. But it’s clear the legend wanted to send a different message of redemption and unity.

This also follows Kanye West’s newest song release, “GEMINI SEASON.” It celebrated Ye’s 49th birthday earlier this month and resulted in a music video his wife Bianca Censori directed.

Speaking of music videos, Ye also dropped a Censori-directed visual for the BULLY track “KING” on Spotify, as caught by XXL on Instagram. We will see if there are any other videos coming up, as Don Toliver seemed to tease an “OK” visual on social media.

Sauce Walka Has Surprising Reaction To Deen The Great Playing Drake With Him

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 16:15:03 +0000

Deen The Great recently had Sauce Walka on for a livestream, and they seemed to have a good time playing jams and just hanging out. However, a potentially awkward and confrontational moment emerged when Deen played “Shot For Me” by Drake, seemingly forgetting about the two artists’ current beef.

As caught by Livebitez on Instagram, the streamer was singing along and didn’t realize how this could lead to an issue. However, the Houston rapper approached The Great and vibed out to the song too, dancing along to the slow beat and saying “Chat, we on that Drizzy.”

Later, when Walka was off-camera (it’s unclear where he was), Deen The Great seemed to look at his livestream’s chat, where folks were pointing out the feud. “Oh, I’m tripping. My bad, bruh,” he expressed. “I’m tweaking. Aye, change it. I forgot, bruh, my bad. Chat spammed me… Shoutout bruh, though. But, you know, just… You got to read the room, gang. I ain’t know.”

So it seems like Sauce doesn’t really care about those tensions with Drizzy too much. It’s a promising sign that the drama cycle between them has come to a close, as this could’ve been a double-down moment.

Drake & Sauce Walka’s Beef

For those unaware, Drake and Sauce Walka’s beef is about a decade old, but there are important chapters to talk about. Initial tensions back in the 2010s stemmed from Houston appropriation claims, but they buried the hatchet in the 2020s. However, it didn’t take long for things to go south again.

The feud truly took a significant turn earlier this month, as a call leaked of Walka threatening to have Drake’s car shot up. He claimed The Boy dissed him on “Janice STFU” and that he’s been pimping women out to him for a long time.

More specifically, these tensions also concern the mother of Sauce Walka’s child, Kiley Lossen. That’s because of an alleged fling she had with Drizzy, as she later took to social media and other platforms to gush about the Toronto superstar and praise their friendship.

In any case, it seems like Sauce isn’t breaking a sweat over any of this anymore. But we’ll see if that changes…

Daphne Joy Says “Business Is Good” After Tape Leak & DJ Akademiks Convo

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:45:12 +0000

Daphne Joy went through a harrowing time when an explicit video featuring her, Diddy, and an adult film actor leaked earlier this year. It was difficult and stressful to relive, but she’s grateful for the support she’s received and feels ready to move on from it. In fact, during Joy’s recent interview with Cam Newton on his Funky Friday podcast, she explained how “business has been good” following the leak and a viral conversation with DJ Akademiks.

As caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, Newton asked if she’s getting a lot of DMs on social media these days. “As long as a man has a pulse and a heartbeat, I’m good,” the mother of 50 Cent’s child remarked. “I would say [the DMs are aggressive]… The volume is pretty massive right now.”

She said she was surprised by the wealth of engagement, presumably referring to social media messages and activity on her OnlyFans platform. Daphne said she doesn’t respond unless she “sees a cutie, maybe,” preferring to observe all the activity rather than consistently engage with it. “You miss all the shots you don’t take,” the entrepreneur, model, and actress added.

Then, Newton asked what’s attractive to her in an online setting. It lines up with what Daphne Joy said about a date with DJ Akademiks in another part of the interview.

“I look for sincerity in the message,” she expressed. “How tailored it was for me, and if they took the actual time to really write something sincere, cool, or funny.”

For those unaware, DJ Akademiks interviewed Daphne Joy following the tape leak, and their flirty interactions and salacious questions went viral. However, Joy really appreciated this, as it gave her a laugh amid a dark time and she had great chemistry with Ak. This led to Cam Newton asking about a potential date between them, which she responded positively to.

She got good taste in men . All top tier successful niggas. No bum ass niggas. Watch niggas n broke bitches in the comments of this hurt asf https://t.co/8Zj1tMoToK

Elsewhere, Daphne Joy’s talked about her relationship woes and the public scrutiny she continues to face. Hopefully, she continues to heal from that part of her life and moves forward on her own terms. Amid all the attention Joy is getting right now, she’s just grateful for those letting her live her truth in peace.

Drake Pays Heartfelt Tribute To Tay Keith After Tragic Passing

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:00:17 +0000

Hip-hop is mourning right now, as iconic Memphis producer Tay Keith passed away earlier this week at the age of 29. Many of his closest collaborators and peers in the music world and beyond have paid their respects, with Drake providing a heartfelt tribute in Keith’s memory via a new Instagram post.

“Endless and eternal gratitude for your spirit and your contributions to this thing that we all love so much…you will be deeply missed,” the Toronto superstar captioned his post. It featured a portrait of the late producer with his birth year, flowers, and a message that read “In Loving Memory of Tay Keith, Rest in Peace.”

As fans and friends alike continue to mourn this loss, there are still questions around Tay Keith regarding his dynamic with other collaborators. Rebel Music, the label which Sexyy Red calls home, issued a statement regarding a royalty dispute between them and Keith that remained unresolved at the time of his death. They are working diligently and expeditiously to ensure his estate receives proper compensation. The producer’s camp also clarified they are about to finalize a resolution, absolving Keith’s frequent collaborator and close friend of any responsibility.

This situation and the 6ix God’s tribute are two different examples of just how profoundly and compellingly Keith impacted the lives of those around him, regardless of what was going on behind industry doors. As it relates to the OVO mogul, they have a long history together.

Drake and Tay Keith’s collaborative saga began with “Look Alive,” the BlocBoy JB hit in 2018 that propelled the Memphis creatives to stardom. From there, they also linked up on Travis Scott’s “SICKO MODE,” Lil Baby and Gunna’s “Never Recover,” Sexyy Red’s “U My Everything,” and of course, various solo Drizzy cuts.

These include “Nonstop,” “Jimmy Cooks” featuring 21 Savage, “First Person Shooter” featuring J. Cole, and many more. Most recently, the beatsmith had credits on ICEMAN‘s “What Did I Miss?” Also, Keith played a role in the infamous Kendrick Lamar battle, as he has production credits on “Push Ups” and “Family Matters.”

Drake and Tay Keith had a strong bond, and it’s heartbreaking that the latter is no longer with us to make more amazing music by himself or with others. But his legacy and impact will live on forever.

RIP Tay Keith.

Rema Just Stepped Out In A Classic Air Jordan 5 Colorway

Ben Atkinson — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 14:41:00 +0000

Rema was recently photographed leaving a hotel in the Air Jordan 5 “White Metallic.” He paired the sneakers with grey sweatpants and a white t-shirt. A blue cap and gold chains rounded out the rest of his outfit. He also carried a Gucci duffel bag while walking through the lobby.

The Air Jordan 5 Retro OG “White Metallic” originally released in 2000 through Jordan Brand’s Retro+ program. It later returned again in 2015, marking its second appearance overall. A 2026 version officially released on April 25, giving the colorway its third run.

This version brings back Nike Air branding on the heel for the first time. That detail replaces the Jumpman logo used on the 2000 and 2015 releases. A soft pebbled white leather upper pairs with grey accents throughout the shoe. A reflective metallic silver tongue and icy blue outsole complete the look.

The Air Jordan 5 first released in 1990 and was designed by Tinker Hatfield. Hatfield drew inspiration from WWII fighter planes for the shoe’s overall shape. Shark tooth detailing along the midsole still nods to that original concept today

Overall, Rema elevated the AJ5 “White Metallic” with his clean outfit execution. It just goes to show how well this pair can work in different arenas.

The “White Metallic” colorway has remained a fan favorite across multiple retros over the years. Its all white tumbled leather upper pairs with a metallic silver tongue that catches light easily.

That reflective detail has stayed consistent across every version released so far. The 2026 pair also includes a set of round laces alongside the standard flat ones. Also, the extra detail nods back to the original 2000 release specifically.

Meanwhile, the shoe’s fighter jet inspired lines remain one of its most recognizable design choices. A Black, White, and Fire Red version, tied to Michael Jordan’s Bulls uniform, also returned earlier this year. Together, both releases highlight how often Jordan Brand revisits the model’s earliest colorways.

Tay Keith’s Camp Addresses Royalty Dispute With Sexyy Red’s Label

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 13:55:04 +0000

Tay Keith tragically passed away earlier this week, leading many to reflect on his extensive contributions to music and the many collaborators he changed the lives of in one way or another. One of these close colleagues is Sexyy Red. But an apparent dispute between Keith’s camp and her label, Rebel Music, resurfaced in the wake of his loss.

According to TMZ, court documents reportedly show how the producer sued Rebel in March of this year over accusations of unpaid royalties and lack of accounting on their behalf. He reportedly sought to have a court force the label to pay damages, declare they owed him money, and provide accounting. The legal matter reportedly did not find a resolution before Tay’s passing.

However, following rampant social media debate about this, a representative for Tay Keith issued a statement to TMZ about this matter. “The dispute is between the parties’ respective labels. Naming Sexyy Red in the lawsuit was a legal formality,” the statement reportedly read. “Any allegations are directed at the label, not Red personally. Both labels have been cooperating, and the matter is close to being resolved. Tay and Red remained friends and he considered her a sister. They were in the studio together as recently as last week working on new music. We appreciate Red’s sentiments and condolences during this difficult time.”

On the other hand, here’s attorney Dameka Davis’ statement on behalf of Rebel Music. “Sexyy Red is overwhelmed with grief at the devastating loss of her dear friend and artistic collaborator, Tay Keith. Tay was a brilliant artist. Through his close musical partnership with Sexyy, he became a genuine friend to everyone at Rebel. We send our sincerest condolences to Tay Keith’s family and loved ones. As the attorney for Rebel, I want to step forward to correct the record on false, irresponsible, and deeply hurtful clickbait being spread on social media about royalty arrangements with Tay Keith.

“Royalty negotiations are handled by labels – not artists. I’ve worked closely with the legal counsel and team for Tay Keith to finalize the royalty agreement to fully compensate him for his valuable contributions as a musical collaborator with Sexyy,” the statement continued. “In fact, we were in the final stages of getting Tay Keith fully compensated before his shocking passing this week. We are expediting the finalization of this work with Tay Keith’s attorney so that full payment can be made to his estate as soon as possible.”

RIP Tay Keith.

Ciara Wore A Surprising Adidas Sneaker To Seattle Stadium

Ben Atkinson — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 13:21:00 +0000

Ciara took part in the ceremonial coin toss before USMNT faced Australia. The match took place at Seattle Stadium on June 19th. Despite the game being played in Seattle rather than Atlanta, fans found her appearance somewhat unexpected.

Ciara delivered the coin used to decide kickoff and starting ends. She wore a red Adidas shirt paired with a black pleated skirt. On her feet, she wore the Brain Dead x Adidas Japan Hi sneaker. The boot style added an unexpected detail to the look.

Russell Wilson joined Ciara for the pre-match coin toss appearance. The couple returned to the field, where Wilson once played for the Seahawks. The duo, of course, added some extra visibility to the buildup before kickoff.

The USMNT went on to beat Australia 2-0 in front of a sellout crowd. An own goal and a header sealed the win for the U.S. side. The result pushed the USMNT through to the World Cup knockout rounds.

Several other notable names also attended Friday’s match in Seattle. Paris Hilton was also in attendance, marking her second USMNT match so far. Ciara’s outfit became one small detail within a packed celebrity turnout.

The Adidas Japan Hi pulls from a soccer boot silhouette rather than a typical sneaker shape. It uses a tall, laced upper paired with a more rugged, outdoor inspired build. That mix gives it an unusual look compared to most stadium footwear.

Brain Dead has built its reputation around reworking familiar silhouettes with bold details. Past collaborations have leaned into bright graphics and unexpected material choices. This pair continues that same general approach.

The chunky sole and high cut design set it apart from cleaner, low profile sneakers. Pairing a soccer inspired shape with streetwear branding creates an odd but intentional contrast.

That contrast has become a signature trait across Brain Dead’s past Adidas projects. Seeing the shoe worn courtside, away from any actual match, only adds to that appeal.

Kanye West has expanded on his BULLY album with a solid deluxe edition, tweaking some original tracks and adding two new ones. The fresh efforts are “OK” with Don Toliver and “MISSION CONTROL,” which round out the tracklist at the end.

While Kanye West’s BULLY deluxe did not arrive exactly on time, fans are very happy to have gotten it later in its promised release date rather than in the morning’s wee hours.

The Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” Just Got Its First Retailer Photos

Ben Atkinson — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 12:48:00 +0000

Retailer images of the Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” surfaced ahead of its September 12th release, per zSneakerHeadz. The colorway first launched in 2003 before getting a second release in 2015. This marks over a decade since the pair last hit shelves.

The new photos confirm the familiar black leather construction fans remember. Chrome finished hardware appears across the strap buckles and midsole. A grey chenille tongue tag also carries over from earlier releases. Tonal cross straps round out the rest of the upper.

This was the first non-original colorway ever released for the Air Jordan 8. It’s recognized for a clean black, white, and chrome color scheme. That muted palette lets the model’s structure stand out clearly.

This release also comes packaged in a box featuring Michael Jordan’s face. That detail adds a small extra touch for collectors. The Air Jordan 8 lineup is often considered underrated compared to other retros. “Chrome” remains one of its more requested colorways among fans.

The shoe is set to release September 12, 2026 through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. This marks the colorway’s third release since its original 2003 debut.

— zSneakerHeadz (@zSneakerHeadz) June 20, 2026

The Air Jordan 8 originally debuted in 1993 during Michael Jordan’s third straight championship run. “Chrome” came years later, built on the same black leather base used for other early colorways. Instead of bold accent colors, it kept things mostly grayscale.

A paint stroke pattern filled the midsole in black, white, and gray tones. The shiny chrome buckles became the shoe’s most recognizable detail. Kobe Bryant wore the pair during a playoff run, which added to its reputation over time.

That moment helped the colorway build a lasting following. The Air Jordan 8’s dual strap design and padded collar remain unchanged for this release. Those features have defined the model since the early 1990s. Returning now keeps that history intact for new buyers.

Overall, this release is going to make older sneakerheads feel a tinge of nostalgia and reintroduce the pair to newer sneakerheads.
