You can see one of them below from X user Fendi. He shared on Thursday, January 15, that Flock was the recipient of a brutal attack, 18 stabs to be specific. A fight reportedly occurred at a New York prison facility, with another prisoner bringing out a sword of some kind.

Users like Fendi also said that Kay Flock’s condition was up in the air, leading to some general worry. However, these “reports” were mere rumors all along, according to the MC’s lawyer, Michael T. Ashley. In a statement to XXL caught by Complex, he shared that Flock is doing better than most would probably expect given his situation.

“I am glad to confirm that Mr. Kevin Perez a.k.a. Kay Flock is quite well. We met earlier this week, and I spoke with him moments ago. His spirits remain high and he is resolved to continue to pursue justice in his case. His notice of appeal was recently filed, and various post-conviction remedies are being pursued on his behalf.”

How Long Is Kay Flock’s Sentence?

But while it’s relieving news for his fans, Flock remains in the frying pan, so to speak. He’s still facing a brutal prison bid of 30 years and five years of supervision afterwards.

He was found guilty of four charges, with all of them being incredibly serious offenses. Racketeering conspiracy, attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon in aid of racketeering, with a firearm discharge offense rounding things out.

These all stem from four shootings from 2020-2021. The judge responsible for the ruling in Flock’s case didn’t hold him responsible for being a gunman. However, due to his strong gang affiliation and role within it, the court was left no choice but to hand down this severe punishment.

As Ashley stated, his client is appealing the decision and asking for a statutory minimum of 10 years or a multi-year, 11-point “punishment plan.” That would include getting his GED, staying off drugs and alcohol, and to use his social media as a vehicle to condemn acts of violence, and more.

Lemon labeled the insults “disgusting,” adding, “I think Nicki Minaj has made it very clear how she feels about African Americans in this country. I don’t think she’s one of them. Under Trump’s rule, she should be deported. I don’t think, reportedly, she is a legal citizen here. She is undocumented. So, she has shown her disdain for African Americans. Why are you supporting her? Why are you buying her record? I have lots of friends who love Nicki Minaj. Why are you supporting this homophobic, bigoted, ignorant woman? You should not be supporting her. Nicki Minaj is clearly out of her depth. She doesn’t understand politics. She doesn’t understand journalism, and I’m not surprised she is weighing in on something that is beyond her capacity.”

Lemon concluded by telling Minaj to “sit the f*ck down,” and brought up her husband, Kenneth Petty, and his criminal history. “Nicki Minaj, f*ck off, stop being a homophobic bigot, get a life and some brains,” he ended.

As for Minaj’s post, she wrote: “DON ‘C*CK SUCKIN’ LEMON IS DISGUSTING. HOW DARE YOU? I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!! HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ANY OTHER RELIGION. LOCK HIM UP!!!!!”

Don Lemon’s Church Protest Coverage

Nicki Minaj’s mention of jail for Don Lemon comes after the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, Harmeet Dhillon, issued a warning for the former CNN host on X. “A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws! Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service,” she wrote, as caught by The New York Post. “You are on notice!”

Lemon responded by claiming not to have any affiliations with the demonstrators, instead suggesting he was there to cover the protest as a journalist. Protests have been going on in Minneapolis since ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good, earlier this month.

Quotable Lyrics from You Hear Me Tho

C’s on Riata stood for “Con,” that’s why the cross get threw (Con gang made man)
Some my real partners that I loved and I knew loved me too (I knew it)
Had to get stretched, so why you think it can’t get done to you? (Sometimes, it gotta go how it gotta)
Ain’t tuckin’ none, I’m in LA where rappers chains get tooken (I’m out here)

As caught by Complex, the adult film star posted an absolutely diabolical photo of himself after a training session to his Instagram. In the shot, Jason’s wearing a custom tank top with an image of Adam’s wife, Lena The Plug.

It’s sure to burn into his opponent’s eyes as it’s her biting bed sheets from one of their sex tapes. It got Adam and Lena’s attention, with the former writing back, “You’ve gone too far! KO incoming!!!!”

Lena hopped in to defend her hubby’s honor adding, “You’ll never have me again.” It’s worth noting that most of the trash talk has been done playfully. But at the end of the day, there’s still beef underneath the jokes.

Jason’s aware of that reality. “It’s a little animosity, because you got to remember, I smashed his wife, and all the fans and people are saying all kinds of crazy things. So he feel like he got to regain his manhood, and I’m here to try to make sure that I still take it away.”

That 2023 sex tape between Lena and Jason was given the green light by Adam, which was controversial, to say the least. Internet users have labeled the latter a “cuck” among other things and to be frank, he hasn’t done much to change people’s opinions.

Earlier this month while speaking on his foe, Adam said “He’s my opp, but goddamn he’s good looking.”

While there is a level of disdain on both sides, all of this ultimately to build all three of their brands.

Speaking of which, the boxing match, which Adin Ross’ Brand Risk is organizing, is taking place on Friday, January 23. It’s all going down in Miami, with the card kicking off at 7 p.m. ET on Adin’s Kick channel.

However, the caption that appears at the beginning suggests she’s been tapped into her sibling’s tea spilling. “When your client spilling tea & you link her to another client,” it reads.

After that though, Jazmine doesn’t engage any further and instead explains her upcoming class. But fans in her comment section are and calling on her to defend Jayda when things inevitably go south.

We are sure Jayda will appreciate that as things continue to get more and more tense with each passing hour.

Did Ari Fletcher Sleep With Lil Baby?

If you aren’t in the know, this weekend, Jayda dropped a bombshell allegation during a TikTok livestream. After catching wind of users on the app asking about a potential sexual past between Ari Fletcher and Lil Baby, she confirmed the rumor.

“Them rumors are true, no shade. That’s been going on, has been a thing, but I don’t want to talk about it. Like, literally, let’s not talk about it… It’s not rumors, that sh*t is true,” she claimed.

There’s still a lot to learn going forward. For example, we don’t know when the rapper and the social media influencer got together. Given how Jayda and Baby’s relationship ended thanks to rampant cheating allegations against the latter, one could theorize that Ari got involved as their split unfolded.

We also don’t know why this rumor started. However, some potential context could be that Ari and Jayda were once close friends. Things have not been great since about 2022-2023, interestingly around the time when Jayda and the Atlanta MC broke up. Maybe Jayda is looking for some revenge?

Baby has yet to speak on the matter, but Moneybagg Yo’s girlfriend has. “What the hell?” she said when asked if she believed Jayda’s accusation.

In doing so, she argued that Megan already accepted the benefit of a reduced judgment, thus making it hypocritical for her to now try to undermine the ruling. She also claimed that the rapper previously agreed with the decision to have the jury decide Gramz’s media status. Overall, she feels there is no legal basis to reopen the case.

Megan Thee Stallion originally sued Milagro Gramz back in 2024, accusing her of allegedly spreading numerous falsehoods about her in the wake of the 2020 Tory Lanez shooting. She also accused her of reposting deepfake pornographic videos of her.

In December, the jury in the case ruled that Gramz’s work classifies her as a media defendant, meaning Megan would have had to give her special notice before suing her. In turn, the court dismissed the defamation aspect of the case. They did find Gramz liable for promoting the deepfake, however.

Afterward, Gramz reflected on the trial on Instagram Live and thanked her followers for their support throughout the process. “I love you guys so much. Hope that y’all can see the bigger picture and that you understand what new media is,” she said, as caught by Hot 97. “I hope that you understand that the things that we do, in the work that we put in, is valuable. Solid b*tches, they ain’t built, they born. I’m happy that I stood up for something that I believed in, followed it all the way through, and I don’t need validation from anybody else about those things.”

Akademiks in particular is one of Drizzy staunchest defenders, whereas Rocky doesn’t want anything to do with his ex-collaborator. When asked about a potential reconciliation in his Popcast interview, the Don’t Be Dumb creator said, “Nah, it doesn’t need to be, for what?”

On top of this, A$AP unleashes several bars for the Toronto superstar. “STOLE YA FLOW” feels like it was meant for the latter and only him. “N****s gettin’ BBLs, lucky we don’t body shame / Throwin’ dirt on Rocky name, turn around and copy game (Ready made, ready made).”

Or there’s these bars: “First you was my bro, p**sy n**** switched / Turned into a opp, f*ck his block, he a b*tch, boy / Might pull up to yo’ crib, spin it like the rent, uh / Spend it like the time that you ain’t spendin’ with yo’ kids.”

But despite all of this, the respective industry titans are joining forces for a sit-down.

What’s more though is that Rocky had nothing but praise for Akademiks while empowering him to be a cultural leader in the space.

Don’t Be Dumb Sales Projections

“Before n****as like me get up it ain’t no Shade Room… not taking anything away from [them]… Like, n****, we lookin’ at what Ak about to talk about.”

Rocky also encourages him to be more of a tastemaker rather than focus on the drama and beefs. It’s a wholesome moment and it has us ready to watch the full interview when it eventually drops.

This continues the rapper’s month of wins though as last week, Don’t Be Dumb finally arrived. The January 16 release features big names like Doechii, Tyler, The Creator, Brent Faiyaz, and etc. plus a slew of great producers.

The project’s been well-received and as a result, it’s already projected to go number one. As of now, it’s looking like it will move over 200,000 copies. It would be Rocky’s best debut by more than 50,000 units. Most of that figure can be attributed to the physical variants, especially vinyl. Per a press release, they contributed 130,000 to the projected total.

The haul included Timberland boots for $500 and Jordan 6 Retros for just $100. He also grabbed Jordan 4 Retros for $500. The big purchase was Nike SB Dunk Low “Chunky Dunky” for $3,000.

The video shows Fat Joe’s enthusiastic bargaining style with plenty of energy. Quick deals and lively banter made the clip go viral almost immediately. His personality shines through every negotiation captured on camera.

Community responses pointed out some interesting details about the deals. The Jordan 6s typically resell for $140 to $215 on StockX. Fat Joe paid just $100 but got them without the original box.

The Chunky Dunkys tell a different story entirely. This 2020 Ben & Jerry’s collaboration normally holds $960 to $2,750 value on resale markets. Fat Joe paid $3,000 for them without the special box included. That box alone can boost resale value by around $1,000.

Fat Joe Sneakers

Fat Joe was filmed sneaker shopping at Got Sole’s pop-up market with tables full of boxes and sellers negotiating directly. The video shows him going through different pairs while chatting with vendors and making quick decisions on purchases.

He picked up Timberland boots in the classic wheat colorway that everyone knows, plus some Jordan 6 Retros without the box. The Jordan 4 Retros also made it into his haul for five hundred dollars.

The biggest moment came when he copped the Nike SB Dunk Low “Chunky Dunky” with that wild Ben & Jerry’s inspired colorway for 3 grand, though the special box wasn’t included in that deal.

Got Sole’s pop-up markets continue attracting celebrity shoppers and sneaker enthusiasts alike. The energy at these events creates moments that go viral instantly. Fat Joe’s shopping spree is just another example of how sneaker culture brings people together.

“There’s a rumor that’s going around that everybody’s scared to report on, and this is just a rumor, is that, basically, Pooh Shiesty and Choppa Gang ran down on Gucci Mane, relieved him of some of his possessions, and basically forced him to sign a contract releasing Pooh Shiesty from 1017,” Adam said. From there, Adam claimed that he reached out to several industry insiders who all heard the same rumor, despite not being able to confirm any truth to it.

Wack 100 suggested that he believes the story to be “bullsh*t.” He brought up Pooh Shiesty’s recent firearms case, for which he spent three years in prison, arguing it’d be absurd to risk further legal trouble. “It’s gotta be some bullsh*t unless he’s that damn stupid,” he said.

Pooh Shiesty’s Legal Trouble

This isn’t the first time Pooh Shiesty has dealt with unfounded rumors about being in legal trouble since his release from prison, last year. Earlier this month, DJ Akademiks falsely reported that the rapper may have returned to jail with a release date in April. He later revealed that Shiesty’s record label reached out to debunk the story, noting that he is merely on home confinement until April.

Akademiks wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Pooh Shiesty record label reached out to me and confirmed that he is not in jail. Apparently his April date existed since his ‘release’ and he’s on home confinement until April like he has been the whole time since his release. Rumors of his incarceration started via a stream when fans assumed a conversation on one of his closest friends stream (Bendadon) was about him being arrested.”
