The class will provide scholars “insight into how ideas move across music, fashion, media, collaborations, live shows and more.” Additionally, there will be weekly lectures from industry leaders of fashion, media, as well as direct access to Scott himself, his team, and those within the Cactus Jack network.

Some people are skeptical about this, with those folks cracking jokes in the process. “Bro is genuinely going into massive collegiate debt just to learn how to sell an overpriced brown hoodie and a fast food meal deal. Imagine explaining to your parents that your entire final exam is just successfully surviving a Travis Scott merchandise drop.”

But others seem down if they were students at USC. “This is really a class on how to build something that lives everywhere at once. Nice move,” one user replies.

“Yea i’m transferring just for this class,” another writes. While Travis Scott does catch a lot of heat for his big brand collabs with McDonald’s and such, you can’t deny that Cactus Jack is one of the biggest imprints in modern music.

Is Travis Scott Dropping A New Album?

From the label’s musical releases from fan-favorites like Don Toliver, SoFaygo, and Sheck Wes to the merch drops, Scott and his team have created an attractive brand that dominates in numerous markets.

Of course, you have La Flame himself who has his own projects cooking as we speak. As recently as a couple of weeks ago, he teased that his next move is to drop his next solo album. “I think the next thing is to probably drop the album whenever it’s ready.”

He allegedly has a joint tape with Kanye West in the works too, according to Havoc of Mobb Deep. But that honestly might be a real stretch.

She uploaded a TikTok video on Thursday (April 23) speaking out about her alleged experience on set. In the caption, Clarke said she doesn’t associate with D4vd and demanded justice for Rivas Hernandez.

As for the video, she claimed she met his family, who was at the 12-hour shoot due to him being a minor at the time. The artist was 17. Cassidy was 18. She specifically brought up meeting his younger sister, “who is probably now around the same age as Celeste would be.”

Also, Clarke said she and the artist followed each other on Instagram, but didn’t get along well during the shoot. Then, she said she’s making these claims in the first place because many folks online asked if she knows anything about the D4vd and Celeste Rivas Hernandez case or has anything to do with it.

Where Is D4vd Right Now?

“I do not associate with D4vd by any means,” Cassidy Clarke remarked. “I did it for a job, I did it for a check, I didn’t know who D4vd was, I don’t follow him on Instagram anymore. I’m going to remove him as a follower, and I think that he deserves even more than what’s happening to him right now. He’s a monster. And I do not associate with him by any means. I’m not making this video to make this about me. I’m making this video to put an end to my association with D4vd.”

Right now, D4vd is under arrest at Los Angeles County’s Men’s Central Jail. He pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. Elsewhere, several artists removed their D4vd collabs from streaming following his arrest. We will see what the next legal step for both sides is and how fans and former colleagues continue to shape the discourse.

Still, the Twitter user he snapped at was not entirely disrespectful. “i respect how kid cudi is now washed beyond repair but still shows up and puts out music. i’ll never listen to his latest garbage but i respect it,” the fan wrote, as caught by XXL on Instagram.

“Hahaha man F**K U DUDE IM THE ILLEST N***A!!!” the Cleveland artist responded in a since-deleted quote-tweet. “NO ONE in this industry can do what I do. ugly hatin muthaf***as like u been on my d**k for YEARS and Im still here! U gotta learn bro, i aint NEVER give a f**k about what a troll like u has to say. U n***as aint stoppin nothing. Im so wash but u just GOTTA tweet about me. Now, bum a**, watch me shine. TOUR NEXT WEEK GET TIX!!”

This follows the release of Kid Cudi’s HAVE U BN 2 HEAVEN @ NITE? EP. Many fans liked it, but others were clearly not so impressed. We’ll see if he returns fire at more critics online soon or if he keeps it quiet for the “Rebel Ragers” tour.

Kid Cudi’s “Rebel Ragers” Tour

A post shared by XXL (@xxl)

Cudi’s upcoming “Rebel Ragers” tour will host special guests M.I.A., Big Boi, A-Trak, Dot Da Genius, and me n ü across North America. It will run from April 28 to June 27, starting in Phoenix and wrapping up in California. It will most likely run through not just the “HALO’S ON ANGELS” artist’s new music, but also the many beloved classics under his belt.

Kid Cudi’s extracurricular career moves in film, fashion, and beyond haven’t dampened his musical ambitions. Not everyone’s a fan of his recent music, but as he mentioned in his tweet, criticism will never go away. So Cudi continues to push through and attempt to prove his detractors wrong.

On the new song “GOMF” from Glo and Latto (a single for the latter’s Big Mama album), the Memphis femcee had a curious bar for her man. “Told Brandon I’ma have his son next time he leave it in,” she rapped on the cut.

While this seems playful and sultry at face value, recent context surrounding them led fans down a deeper path. GloRilla recently denied pregnancy rumors surrounding her, making it clear she isn’t expecting anytime soon.

The timing of those rumors and how they preceded this “GOMF” bar made many listeners give more weight to the lyrics. Still, this is just a speculative interpretation. This could just be a throwaway bar or a cheeky allusion to those rumors. In either case, the couple will announce whatever they’re up to on their own terms, not via social media sleuthing.

GloRilla & Brandon Ingram’s Relationship

GloRilla and Brandon Ingram’s relationship has been going strong for over a year now. Glo reportedly told Complex that they met in Thanksgiving of 2024, and that the basketball player made the first move. Rumors swirled around them beginning in the summer of the following year, and they confirmed the speculation in September. Since then, they continue to flaunt their love and support each other, such as GloRilla pulling up to Brandon Ingram’s games.

But regarding this “son” bar, we will have to wait and see if their romance takes the next step. Another angle is that this could just be in line with Latto’s motherhood themes on Big Mama. She announced the album along with her pregnancy reveal.

Previous pregnancy rumors eerily lined up with this release, so it seems like Glo knows the discourse around her well. Let’s see if there’s more good news for Brandon Ingram soon.

The caption accompanies an image of the Bronx rapper rocking an iced-out chain that says, “Ice Spicy.” Additionally, the hitmaker is sporting a red wig to mimic the restaurant’s iconic logo, along with a red top.

As of now, we don’t know what this is teasing specifically, but fans are predicting what will come of this. According to Soap Central, some are assuming that a “combo meal is coming.” Others think it could be a new menu item.

This could also be a method for Ice Spice to unleash a new single. Interestingly, she did preview a track last weekend with the audio playing over the fight at the Hollywood McDonald’s.

Her caption over the teaser read, “this wouldn’t happen at Wendy’s.”

This is partially why some folks believe the brawl was a sneaky way to draw more attention to herself.

Ice Spice’s Fight At McDonald’s

Ebro was one of those in that camp leading the charge. “This is kinda what made me feel like this might be kinda promo,” the radio host theorized. He explained that his view of the situation stems from Spice not having much going on at the moment. “Y’all know I be looking for promo,” he jokes before adding, “Ice Spice needs promo right now… I feel like it was wrestling.”

However, a statement from Ice Spice’s legal rep says this is anything but a stunt. According to her attorney, Bradford Cohen, they are going to be taking this to court. “The unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly. We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.”

As for what happened, Ice Spice and her friend were eating their food at the McDonald’s when a fan approached them. The attacker, Vayah, alleges she was trying to exchange pleasantries with the star. However, Vayah claims the performer was rude and calling her names.

Details are pretty slim as Rambova told AFP simply, “He will perform on July 25.” The only other piece of information we can share is that the HUGO Production company is organizing this show.

Of course, we will have to see if this sticks as Ye’s past racist remarks are still affecting him. Almost all of his shows across Europe have been shut down. Poland, France, the U.K., and Switzerland have all backed out.

For the time being, Kanye is still on the books for the Hellwatt Festival in Italy in July. However, that’s hanging on by a thread right now as groups such as anti-fascist resistance groups, trade unions, and politicians are pushing for a ban.

Vice President of the European Parliament and senior member of Italy’s Democratic Party, Pina Picierno, is leading the charge. “The United Kingdom denied the visa. France effectively prevented the Marseille concert. Italy, meanwhile, is just staying idle with 68,000 tickets sold, as if nothing had happened.”

Kanye West’s Global Tour

The Netherlands are also expecting to have Kanye West, with Dutch officials not seeing how they could enforce a ban. While the mayor of Arnhem, Ahmed Marcouch, doesn’t agree with what Ye has said and done, he explained why it’s unlikely that there’s a legal basis out there that would block him from performing.

“Members of Parliament have the power to make laws. So instead of constantly posting all kinds of messages on X, they can also limit behavior they deem undesirable by law. Within the framework of the law, the mayor should not pass judgment on the content of a cultural activity. That concerns freedom of expression. What I can look at are the permit applications for the two concerts. They are currently being processed as we speak. This concerns, among other things, safety and public order. If the organization meets the requirements of the permit, then we simply have to grant that permit.”

It’s worth noting that the Chicago bred performer also has shows in New Delhi, Istanbul, Spain, and Portugal still on the schedule.

Chris Brown already clowned this social media user for his criticisms, which previously rested more on Breezy’s domestic abuse allegations and his artistry. In a clip caught by Livebitez on Instagram, @doliestv went off on the Virginia singer after Brown referred to the user’s nose as a “yam.”

“You are a b***h-a** n***a, bro,” he expressed. “You’re a known colorist, you known for putting Snow White up your nose. You ain’t s**t, you ain’t like that, you don’t have no talent. You not Michael Jackson, you a wannabe Michael Jackson. I will beat the f**k out of you, bro. I promise you not like that. Your music been fell off, you got to use Usher for that tour. You not like that. […] Stop commenting on my s**t acting like you know me. I don’t know you. P***y b***h. […] Chris Brown was trying to bully me for my nose in the comments. He said ‘Get that yam off [your] face’ and people was in the comments agreeing.”

“@chrisbrownofficial I know you hate black features,” @doliestv wrote on IG. “That’s exactly why you don’t like black women. You literally showing yo hate lol go be white then.”

Chris Brown’s upcoming tour with Usher will most likely quell a lot of these negative conversations. But given his history and controversies, they will always re-emerge eventually. We’ll see if this is the end of the Internet back-and-forth or if more attacks appear.

Even on the song’s interlude, the hitmaker allegedly throws in some extra lines for good measure. “I heard she don’t take care of her family, I would never (Right) / She need her own style, she always tryna copy the next b*tch (Tuh).”

Even though we aren’t sure if these lines are for Victoria, the word selection alludes to what these two have been beefing about online.

GloRilla & Victoria Woods’ Beef

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Shade Room Teens (@theshaderoomteens)

If you didn’t know, it stems from allegations on the part of Victoria. Earlier this year, she claimed that the femcee has left her and the family high and dry financially.

She went off on Glo in a series of Facebook posts writing, “”I’ll Really Go Live And Expose Yall Favorite Rapper!! Same Mom, Same Dad, 10 Siblings!!” she begins.

“Yall think she this upright a*s person when she really not ain’t fwu since she got on and I’m constantly getting acknowledgment for being her sister and she ain’t fwu at all. Gloria Woods call my bluff it’s been 4 years why the media haven’t seen your siblings? And don’t say cause you protecting us cause we still in Memphis it’s cause you talk about our struggles and you don’t fwu!!!! na let’s clock it.”

However, spectators of this family feud have turned Victoria’s critiques back on to her in recent weeks.

Earlier this month, she sounded off on their dad for attending a Grizzlies game despite having issues with the bills. Netizens called her out for not providing financial assistance since she’s allegedly been making some better money recently through interviews.

Victoria replied to the backlash by stating that she’s not going to help because he allegedly took GloRilla’s side. “And I’m not giving him sh*t the difference is I’m honest about it. Folks done dogged me plenty of times. When she wasn’t fw him, he was on my line and I was giving it to him facts. But you wanna threaten to call the police on me when I came to check on my brother? F*ck him. My brother was in the hospital and he told the nurse not to let me in.”

While many folks saw this as a wholesome moment, others blasted him for subjecting the child to share the stage with a stripper. Fans also criticized the girl’s parents for allowing her to attend in the first place.

Amid all this conversation, Tha Doggfather reportedly stepped into Hollywood Unlocked‘s comments section on Instagram to respond to their coverage of the backlash. “Under fire [thumbs down emoji] her father let her get on stage [thumbs up emoji],” he wrote. “She was dancing all night. I let a fan have fun her parents were there sorry try again. Carry on.” The Long Beach legend isn’t worried about perception, but rather defended his real-life decisions.

Snoop Dogg’s Biopic

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

In other Snoop Dogg news, his biopic is shaping up. He recently revealed that Outer Banks star Jonathan Daviss will play him in the upcoming film based on his life, which will come out sometime in 2027. Craig Brewer will direct the project.

This is a very exciting development for the hip-hop icon, and a huge step for Daviss’ burgeoning career. We will see how the movie shapes up, as biopics usually get a bad reputation. After all, the reception to the new film Michael tells you all you need to know.

Elsewhere, Snoop Dogg just dropped his 10 Til’ Midnight album in connection to his film of the same name. The movie stars Ray Vaughn, G Perico, and other big rap names.

With all this in mind, it’s clear Snoop’s twilight years remain as active as ever. New music, new movies, and new controversies around appropriateness, the youth’s impressionability, and artistic responsibility. He’s enjoying every step of the way, and stepping out to shut backlash down from his critics. Whether or not that’s enough as an “apology” is in the eye of the beholder.

Curry has been rotating through a wide range of footwear since ending his Under Armour partnership. Furthermore, he has been spotted in everything from Kobe 4s to Air Jordan 5s throughout the 2026 season. Adding the NOCTA Glide to that list is another unexpected entry.

Additionally, the timing connects two of the biggest names in culture right now. Drake’s “Iceman” album is set to drop May 15th, 2026. Seeing one of the NBA’s biggest stars wearing his shoe at Coachella only adds to NOCTA’s cultural momentum heading into that release.

The NOCTA Glide draws direct inspiration from the Nike Zoom Flight ’95, reworking the classic blueprint into something lighter and more lifestyle-oriented. The shoe features a mesh-constructed base, woven detailing along the sides, and a blue-tinted translucent outsole. Moreover, NOCTA branding appears on the padded tongue and debossed on the heel details.

Steph Curry’s appearance in the NOCTA Glide at one of the biggest music festivals of the year is the kind of organic co-sign money can’t buy. Meanwhile, the question of where Curry signs his next shoe deal remains unanswered. Moments like this keep every brand guessing.

Steph Curry Drake’s Nike NOCTA Glide

The Nike NOCTA Glide is one of the cleaner silhouettes Drake has produced under his NOCTA label. The shoe takes its cues from the legendary Nike Zoom Flight ’95, a 90s basketball shoe known for its wavy midsole and bold bubble pods.

Woven textile midfoot panels sit alongside a breathable mesh upper, while chrome detailing and 3M reflective piping add subtle depth throughout. The black colorway Curry wore keeps everything understated with a black upper, iron grey accents, and crisp white midsole.

A Zoom Air unit in the forefoot adds performance-level cushioning. It’s a shoe that bridges 90s basketball heritage and modern streetwear without trying too hard.
