The colorway leans into a Velvet Brown, Pearl White, and Gum Dark Brown palette. A tumbled leather upper anchors the whole design. Elephant print panels wrap the toe and heel in classic AJ3 fashion. Suede covers the tongue and ankle collar for extra texture.

Pearl White hits the Jumpman logos on both the tongue and heel. Gum soles finish things off underfoot in a warm, earthy tone. The overall look feels more like split firewood than a typical sneaker. That’s clearly where the “Fireside” name comes from.

Here’s the detail sneakerheads are already buzzing about. The shoe ships with two lace options in the box. The primary pair comes in a matchstick khaki shade. Also a second pink pair rides along for those wanting more contrast.

That pink lace inclusion is drawing instant Travis Scott comparisons. His Jordan collabs have used that exact styling trick before. It’s not an official collaboration, but the resemblance is obvious. Jordan Brand has leaned on that aesthetic for general releases in the past.

Air Jordan 3 “Fireside” Retail Price

The “Fireside” 3 fits into a packed fall 2026 rollout. It joins bigger names like the Jordan 4 “Bred” and Jordan 11 “Space Jam.” Even the Jordan 12 “Eggnog” is part of this festive stretch. Jordan Brand is clearly leaning into a cozy, wintery theme this year.

Retail is set at $205 for the pair. They will be available October 3rd through Nike SNKRS and select retailers. Expect a larger release, with the traditional retailers as well.

This won’t be a limited or raffle-only release. It’s built as a general release, so grabbing a pair shouldn’t be too difficult. For anyone chasing an AJ3 built for sweater weather, this is the one to watch.

Rather than focusing on a single breach, the lawsuit describes what Grande claims has been a recurring problem throughout her career. She alleges the individuals behind the attacks repeatedly gained unauthorized access to sensitive material before distributing or selling it without her permission.

The Leaks Made Their Way To The Dark Web

The lawsuit also claims the stolen files were marketed on the dark web for substantial amounts of money, allowing others to profit from content that was never intended to reach the public. Grande argues the leaks caused significant damage, both personally and professionally, by stripping her of the ability to decide when and how her work would be shared.

Because the identities of those allegedly involved remain unknown, the complaint names up to 100 John Doe defendants. In addition to the individuals accused of carrying out the hacks, the lawsuit targets anyone alleged to have helped distribute, broker, or purchase the stolen material. Grande hopes the legal process will ultimately identify those responsible and prevent any further circulation of the content.

They alleged that Celeste was threatening to kill and expose D4vd. It’s a defense strategy that left many stunned, including Hernandez’s family. Their attorney Patrick Steinfeld spoke to reporters and relayed how the family feels.

“The defense attorneys brought up some evidence that was deemed inadmissible at this preliminary hearing,” Steinfeld said Monday per The Associated Press. “They made allegations that didn’t have any evidentiary basis, including the assertion that Celeste may have committed suicide or that Celeste was violent. I personally found that very disturbing. It seems that the defense attorneys are stopping at nothing in an attempt to discredit the prosecution’s evidence.”

There were rumblings that perhaps D4vd did not know that Celeste was 13. However, Steinfeld made it clear that the artist was told about her age during a welfare check.

“The family was horrified that the defense attorneys brought up evidence to put the blame on a 14-year-old child,” he said. “I want you to remember February 17th, 2024. That is when a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy did a welfare check on the home of David Anthony Burke [D4vd], and informed David that Celeste Rivas was 13 years old. David Anthony Burke has taken the position that Celeste said she was 18 [and] he didn’t know she was a child. But he knew because he was told in February of 2024 that Celeste was only 13 years old.”

During yesterday’s proceedings, the LAPD made the claim that Celeste’s family was aware of her relationship with D4vd and didn’t express objections.

Despite these claims, Steinfeld remains steadfast in the notion that D4vd has no viable defense for his alleged actions. Steinfeld called the defense’s tactics “abhorrent.”

“He does not have a defense,” Steinfeld added. “However, he had direct knowledge of Celeste’s age and continued in their sexual relationship. So, I find it abhorrent that the defense attorneys are trying to put any blame whatsoever on this young child.”

At this time, a date has not been set for the trial.

There have been criticisms of Renner and her current lifestyle. Previously, she claimed to be practicing the Muslim faith. However, she has since decided to no longer pursue Islam. This has led to questions about what Renner’s intentions were in the first place. The influencer has defended herself from these criticisms, and during a recent live stream, she went on the offensive.

In the clip below, Renner can be seen jiggling her butt and showing people that she is all natural. She subsequently said that other women aren’t doing it like her. It also felt like a direct message to her male haters and the women they surround themselves with.

“This is why they’re really mad. At 34, your best b*tch not f*cking with me—and it’s all natural too,” she said.

Brittany Renner Is Sick Of The Hate

A couple of weeks ago, Renner first revealed why she was no longer practicing Islam. For her, the lifestyle just didn’t fit what she wanted for herself anymore.

“No, I’m not. I don’t practice anymore,” Renner said at the time. “And—this was my way of thinking, too. I posted a video, like a year ago, where I said—it got like, 20 million views. I was talking about I had to wear cornrows to ft in a hijab. And I’m no longer in interested in shrinking myself. My logic was that was me explaining, like, okay, I’m not doing this anymore.”

This year, Ye has been looking to make a comeback. He has seemingly accepted his mental health diagnosis and is making strides to get better. Furthermore, he has apologized for his antisemitic past. While he still has a lot of work to do, it seems as though the legendary artist is, at the very least, on the right track.

Earlier this year, Ye released BULLY, which proved to be a huge success with his fans. On Tuesday, Ye thanked his fans for the album’s success as he called into Larry Jackson’s Gamma summit.

It was here that Ye revealed how this album’s success actually means more to him than the success he saw with albums like Graduation and Watch The Throne.

“Yeah, I just wanted to thank y’all so much for getting behind this on this journey. These number ones mean even more than the Graduation’s and the Watch the Throne’s, and all the number ones before because, as you know, about a year into the project, I went into an episode,” Ye said. “So, this right here is a celebration and a victory, a success story for people who deal with mental health crises, to be able to come out of it and actually have number one records. With all the things that were done, with all the things that were said, and for you guys to be so forgiving and so supportive, it just means the world to me.”

While some may be surprised to hear this, it actually makes quite a bit of sense. Ye went through a lot with his mental health, and there were rumblings that the fans would not resonate with his new work. As it turns out, there are still millions of people who support him. His upcoming shows are further evidence of this.

When Chrisean Rock was pregnant with Chrisean Jr, Blueface seemed enthused about the kid. However, in recent months, he has been claiming that the kid belongs to Chrisean’s late ex, Ronnie. Even now, he refuses to claim that Chrisean Jr. is his own flesh and blood.

He wants a DNA test, but Chrisean Rock has refused. Despite all of this, they have still appeared on stream together. Blueface even claimed to have cheated on his current pregnant girlfriend, Nevaeh, with Rock.

Interestingly, Blueface posted a photo of Chrisean and Chrisean Jr. on his story, with the caption “My Son.” This was captured by accounts like DJ Akademiks and The Neighborhood Talk. Soon after the story went viral, he deleted it.

It’s hard to say or understand what Blueface is trying to convey by switching up in such a drastic fashion. One moment he is claiming Chrisean Jr. as his, and the next moment he is taking it back. Was the story posted by accident? It’s hard to say, as he has not commented on the matter.

Overall, this is just part of the unfortunate saga of the Blueface and Chrisean Rock situation. Things continue to go unresolved, and these kinds of posted and deleted Instagram stories serve no one.

However, the medical examiner made it clear that Welch’s death was caused by blunt force trauma to the head, not the drugs. The report concluded that he had blunt traumatic injuries during the assault, specifically around his head and neck. The victim also suffered additional trauma, including cuts and scrapes to the face and head, an injury to the left eyelid, a bruised forehead, and other significant injuries.

Ant Jefe and another man, Johnnie Gray, have been charged in Welch’s murder. Video footage of the fatal incident revealed a 10 vs. 1 fight where Welch was being kicked and punched.

Ant Jefe’s Arrest

The LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Unit arrested Ant Jefe in May after their investigation. He was held on $1M bond at the time.

Following the report, Adam22 issued a statement to TMZ: “[Ant has] been a great podcaster for the last year or so and as far as I knew, he wasn’t really in the streets like that anymore, so this was all a huge shock.”

Similar sentiment was expressed among other No Jumper colleagues, who were on livestream when the initial report came out. “He’s like, Mr. I’m just a podcaster, YouTuber, I’m big chilling. So this was disheartening to see for sure,” Mooseman said at the time, per USA Today. “Jefe got our full support up here at No Jumper. We want to see best for bro. And this is a terrible thing to hear, for sure.”

If you are someone who subscribes to Starz, don’t worry. All of the series will remain on Starz. However, starting in November, fans will be able to watch Power on Netflix if they so choose. Unfortunately, this deal does not extend to Canada, according to Deadline. That is because Starz already has a distribution deal in the country thanks to Bell Media.

Unfortunately, Power: Origins and Power: Legacy will not be part of this deal. Instead, it will just be the original four series. Raising Kanan is currently in its fifth season, which will also eventually go to Netflix.

Power Drops On Netflix In November

There isn’t an exact date for the release. It was stated that the series will be released on Netflix according to region. Regardless, this is still a major win for Power, 50 Cent, Starz, and Lionsgate as a whole.

Netflix remains one of the largest streaming platforms out there. They have hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide. This now gives Power the visibility it deserves. It also gives each series a shelf life well beyond the final episodes.

Many other shows have seen massive success thanks to streaming. Shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and The Office come to mind. Perhaps Power will see a similar second wind over the coming years through this deal.

Let us know your favorite Power series in the comments below.

That is exactly what happened to Rick Ross, who infamously joined the 20v1 against Drake back in 2024. With his new album Set In Stone, Ross was unable to make the Billboard 200’s Top 20. The album’s sales were lackluster, and this has led to some debates about what happened.

On The Joe Budden Podcast, the former rapper suggested that Gamma isn’t doing a good job of marketing artists. However, DJ Akademiks sees it differently. He believes this is all related to Drake.

“Drake is the king of this hip-hop sh*t, and respectfully, everybody who was going against him, we’re realizing in real time that maybe they needed him,” Akademiks said.

DJ Akademiks Goes To Bat For Drake

Ak thinks that the Drake beef had fans choosing sides, with the vast majority siding with Drizzy. As the biggest artist in the game, he had the luxury of the majority siding with his art over others. If people had to choose, they were clearly going to go with the Canadian megastar.

“When y’all dissed Drake, erase 80% of your fanbase. And I do mean that. Because the people who love Ross, they love Drake more,” Ak concluded.

It’s an interesting analysis, although it is important to remember that everyone’s sales are down. It is becoming more and more difficult for artists to retain attention. As a result, these kinds of sales figures are happening more often.

That said, one has to wonder where Ross would be without the Drake beef, just to test the hypothesis.
