However, a new report from Kurrco is suggesting that A$AP Rocky’s first week sales are actually going to be much lower than projected. Why? Well, only 45,000 of those 130K vinyl sales are being counted this week. As a result, the artist is projected to sell 119K total units, meaning 74K units are from streaming and digital platforms.

Overall, these are still good numbers. Unfortunately, it means that Rocky will not be hitting number one if these numbers hang on. Instead, he will debut at number 2 on the charts. Still a successful debut, but these certainly aren’t the numbers some were promised at the beginning of the week.

Don’t Be Dumb Vinyl Sales

Don’t Be Dumb’s vinyl sales were the perfect strategy for Rocky to drum up hype for his album. Whether it be alternative album covers or just capitalizing on fandom, there is no denying that Rocky knows what he’s doing here.

130K vinyl sales are impressive. For those wondering why only 45K are being counted in the first week, it is due to some vinyls not being shipped yet. Once those records ship, they will be counted. This means we could see strong second and third week numbers from Rocky, as more vinyls make their way to their rightful owners.

What’s Next for A$AP Rocky?

In the days following the release of his album, Rocky revealed that he would be going on the Don’t Be Dumb World Tour. He is going to go all around the globe to support this new album, and fans could not be more excited.

Then, last week, the Miami Gardens Police Department issued a warrant for Davis’s arrest after a woman accused him of physically assaulting her in October 2025. The accuser, Courtney Rossel, reportedly claimed that she and Davis dated for months. She also alleged that during their relationship, she was the victim of violence on more than one occasion.

In this incident, Rossel told authorities that Gervonta “Tank” Davis assaulted her in a gentleman’s club where she worked as a VIP cocktail server. He allegedly grabbed her by the back of her head and dragged her through the kitchen and stairwell before taking her outside and violently attacking her. According to ESPN, police stated that surveillance footage captured parts of the encounter and corroborated her story. However, Davis remains at large as police can’t locate him.

“At this time, the Miami Gardens Police Department is actively working with the United States Marshal’s fugitive task force to locate and apprehend Mr. Davis,” MGPD executive officer Emmanuel Jeanty revealed. “Domestic violence is a serious crime, and the Miami Gardens Police Department remains committed to holding offenders accountable and protecting victims.”

This is not the first time Davis been accused of violence or harming a woman. It’s not even the second. There’s courtroom footage, viral clips, dropped charges, and civil suits that don’t simply vanish because time has moved forward. If this pattern involved anyone outside of sports or celebrity, the word people would use is habitual. Now, Davis faces being stripped of his WBA lightweight title.

Davis’s reputation has never had to reckon with his actions. Since turning pro in 2013, he’s remained an undefeated world champion and has been endorsed by Floyd Mayweather. Davis was promoted like a pay-per-view king and protected by a system that prefers power over principle.

In the years since his first assault charge, Davis has still headlined sold-out arenas. The millions in fight purses continued to roll in, and new contracts were signed. Every incident, no matter how violent or visible, was treated like a PR issue, not a legal or moral one. Still, this story isn’t about what Davis could’ve been. It’s about what he’s already done and what the world saw. More importantly, what the system of celebrity allowed.

The Women Who Were Hurt

Many allegations against Davis are unverifiable or unproven beyond verbal claims, but in 2020, a video surfaced. It was a basketball game at the University of Miami’s Watsco Center. Davis was caught on camera grabbing a woman by the collar in front of a crowd, yanking her up from her seat, and dragging her out of the venue. The footage circulated quickly.

The woman was identified as Dretta Star, the mother of his child. Days later, Davis turned himself in to the authorities. He would take to social media to say, “I never once hit her, yea I was aggressive and told her come on … that’s the mother of my child I would never hurt her.” He was charged with simple battery domestic violence. The case didn’t go to trial.

In December 2022, another arrest. Again, Florida. Davis was booked on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge after another woman called 911, reportedly screaming for help and saying, “He’s going to kill me” and “I’m in danger.” The call was played across networks. Yet, she later withdrew her cooperation, and the charges were dropped. Prosecutors said they were “unable to proceed.”

Again, Davis returned to social media to defend his name. “I NEVER PUT MY HANDS ON MY CHILD MOTHER NOR MY F—ING DAUGHTER ARE YOU F—ING CRAZY!!” he reportedly wrote before deleting his post. “IM NOT A MONSTER I BEEN QUIET FOR TOO LONG. … THAT’S THE ONLY REASON I’M DOING THIS NOW! JUST TO CLEAR MY NAME!”

Three years later, in July 2025, Davis was arrested in Miami Beach for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend while picking up their children during a custody exchange. The incident reportedly took place on Father’s Day. Police noted minor injuries; she declined to press charges, and the case was dropped.

Then, Courtney Rossel’s name didn’t make news until October 2025, when she filed a civil lawsuit accusing Davis of repeated abuse during their relationship. The complaint outlined multiple alleged instances of being attacked or threatened. She alleged false imprisonment, emotional distress, and assault.

Legal Issues Outside Of Domestic Violence Allegations

Controversies didn’t stay contained to intimate relationships. In 2019, Davis was charged with one count of misdemeanor assault following an alleged altercation at a mall where the boxer was accused of shoving a police officer. TMZ reported the case was later dismissed.

In November 2020, Davis pleaded guilty to misdemeanor hit‑and‑run charges after a crash in Baltimore left four people injured, including a pregnant woman. Police said his vehicle ran a red light and struck another car, and Davis left the scene before returning in another vehicle. He was later sentenced to 90 days of home detention, three years of probation, and community service. A judge later put him in jail for violating the terms of his house arrest.

These aren’t isolated lapses in judgment. Police records show prior arrests and warrants dating back to 2017, including an aggravated assault allegation that was later withdrawn. Each incident was treated as a standalone.

What Accountability Never Touched

Read More: Gervonta Davis’s Biggest Legal Scandals

The conversations around Davis land in the ring and in social media comment sections. Fans marvel at his power, and trainers call him generational. Davis has never issued a public apology to any of the women who accused him of abuse. There hasn’t been an acknowledgment or interviews that reflect.

Boxing as an institution is built on a tolerance for pain, but the line between inflicted and absorbed has always been selective. Fighters with less talent have been dropped for lesser infractions. For Tank, brands stayed close, and his career continued to push forward. Now that he has been stripped of his WBA lightweight title due to his latest allegations, a new form of accountability is being demanded.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” will be released on May 16th, 2026. 

Black leather dominates the base and overlays throughout the upper. Contrasting Gym Red accents appear on the Swoosh and heel counter. The color combination pays homage to the legendary “Banned” narrative from 1985. White midsoles provide clean separation between the upper and outsole.

The craftsmanship is evident in these high-definition shots. Premium tumbled leather covers key areas of the shoe. Stitching details are precise and reinforce the quality construction. The tongue features classic Nike Air branding in black.

Close-up angles reveal the texture variations across different panels. The toe box maintains a sleeker profile than the high-top version. Perforations on the toe provide breathability without compromising the aesthetic. Black laces thread through matching eyelets for a cohesive look.

The outsole features the traditional red and white pattern. This creates visual continuity with the upper’s color scheme. The black packaging with red Jumpman accents completes the presentation.

These images confirm the Air Jordan 1 Low “Banned” looks good. Sneakerheads should keep this release on their radar.

Overall it’s a wearable take on iconic Jordan history with premium materials and that timeless Bred aesthetic everyone loves. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $145 when they drop.

zsneakerheadz reports that the Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 High OG will be released in February 2026.

This brings together three of the most influential names in sneaker culture. Fragment Design’s Hiroshi Fujiwara teams up with Union LA. Further, they’re reimagining the classic Air Jordan 1 High silhouette together.

The “Varsity Red/Sport Royal” colorway mixes iconic Jordan 1 elements. White leather forms the base across the upper and toe box. Black leather hits the Swoosh and overlays throughout the design.

Varsity red appears on the collar and ankle area. Sport royal blue covers the heel counter and outsole. The aged cream midsole gives it that vintage aesthetic immediately.

Fragment’s signature lightning bolt logo is visible on the heel. Union LA’s UN/LA tag hangs from the laces as expected. These collaborative details confirm the authenticity of the partnership.

44,000 pairs might sound like a lot for a collab. But demand for this trio will be absolutely massive worldwide. Expect these to sell out extremely fast when February arrives.

Fragment x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High

The Fragment x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High “Varsity Red/Sport Royal” features a white leather base with black leather overlays and that signature black Swoosh everyone knows. Varsity red covers the collar area and wraps around the ankle, while sport royal blue hits the heel counter and entire outsole.

Also the midsole has that aged cream yellowed look that gives it instant vintage vibes right out the box. Fragment’s lightning bolt appears subtly on the heel in black embossing, and you can spot the Union LA hang tag dangling from the laces.

The toe box shows classic perforations in white leather keeping with traditional Jordan 1 construction throughout the design.

Also, the retail price of the Fragment x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High “Varsity Red/Sport Royal” will be $200 when they drop.

Cenat recently announced Vivet through a dramatic 23-minute YouTube video titled “I Quit.” The announcement left fans confused about whether he was leaving streaming entirely. It turned out to be the reveal of his fashion venture.

The streamer traveled to Italy showing the process of creating denim and sewing. His passion for fashion design became clear throughout that entire video. Now he’s taking those ambitions to one of fashion’s biggest stages.

Paris Fashion Week represents the pinnacle of the global fashion. Cenat’s presence there shows he’s serious about building Vivet into something real. It’s not just a merch drop or quick cash grab.

Fan reactions to Vivet have been mixed since the initial announcement. Some support his creative expansion beyond streaming content. Others feel he should stick to what built his massive following.

Kai Cenat Vivet

Kai Cenat was spotted at Paris Fashion Week carrying what appears to be his Vivet journal which probably contains design notes and inspiration for his new clothing brand. He looked focused and engaged with the whole Fashion Week atmosphere as someone genuinely trying to learn the industry.

This follows his recent dramatic announcement where he revealed Vivet after making fans think he was quitting streaming entirely. The journal in his hands suggests he’s taking notes and absorbing everything he can from being around established fashion designers and brands.

Paris Fashion Week is one of the biggest events in global fashion so his presence there shows real commitment to building Vivet into something legitimate.

Fashion Week Paris 2026

Future, Quavo, SZA, and Kai Cenat all attended Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Fall-Winter 2026 show by Pharrell Williams in Paris. The star-studded front row showcased hip-hop’s influence on high fashion with each artist bringing their own style to the event.

Future wore an oversized plaid jacket and sunglasses, while Quavo opted for a sleek leather jacket and patterned Louis Vuitton bag. SZA appeared in a tan leather coat with white accents, and Kai Cenat kept it casual in all black.

Pharrell’s role as Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Creative Director continues bridging the gap between streetwear culture and luxury fashion, with this front row proving the symbiotic relationship between music and design.

News of the trademark comes just days after he dropped the first single from the album, “Disc 2 Track 2.” It arrived alongside an accompanying music video and a heartfelt message to viewers.

“For the past 10 years, this album has been hand crafted with one intention: a personal challenge to myself to create my best work,” it reads. “To do on my last what I was unable to do on my first. I had no way of knowing how much time, focus and energy it would eventually take to achieve this, but despite the countless challenges along the way, I knew in my heart I would one day get to the finish line. I owed it first and foremost to myself. And secondly, I owed it to hip hop.”

When Is J. Cole Dropping The Fall-Off?

The Fall-Off is slated for release on February 6. That might not be all J. Cole fans have to look forward to these days, however. During a recent episode of his Joe & Jada podcast, Jadakiss claimed that the hitmaker will be rapping over various beats from The Lox on an upcoming mixtape.

“He’s got a project coming out called The Fall-Off, and he’s got a mixtape where he used some of The Lox,” he said. “He rhymed over ‘Money, Power Respect,’ and he rhymed over ‘Can I Live.’ Killed them sh*ts. Cole is coming back in a major way.”

“I didn’t play it, I didn’t ask them to play it. I didn’t dance, I didn’t sing. In fact, the only time you see me on there is me storming out of the bus saying this is ridiculous, I’m leaving,” Tate says in a video circulating on social media. “But, I know why it was played. It was played because of this. It was played because it gets traction in a world where everybody is bored of everything all the time. That’s why these young people are encouraged constantly to try to do the most shocking thing possible. You see this, not just with this song, you see this on all their streams. They’re running people over and doing r*tarded sh*t constantly.”

He continues: “I’m not here to make excuses for myself. I’m not here to say it wasn’t me. I’m not here to blame someone else. But, it does feel ridiculous. It does feel a bit unfair that I’m standing in a nightclub and a song comes on that I did not request, I do not dance to, I do not repeat the lyrics to, I just stand there, and they want to attribute the song playing to me.”

Who Requested Kanye West’s “HH”?

In addition to Tate, Clavicular, Sneako, Nick Fuentes, Myron Gaines, and more streamers were also present. Vendôme has since put out an apology for the situation. In doing so, they ensured that they were conducting an internal review of the situation. “We want to be unequivocally clear: Vendôme and our hospitality group do not condone antisemitism, hate speech, or prejudice of any kind,” the nightclub said on social media. “These values are fundamentally opposed to who we are and the environments we strive to create.”

On Tuesday, Kurrco reported that Kanye West is angry with Clavicular and Sneako for requesting the song. Over the last several months, he’s been working on rehabilitating his public image.

The collaboration brings serious luxury to basketball performance footwear. Swarovski crystals cover the Nike Swoosh on both sides of the shoe. The sparkling details catch light with every movement on the hardwood.

Black makes up the base of the upper throughout. The textured pattern creates depth even before the crystals come into play. A translucent blue outsole provides contrast against the dark upper.

Ja’s signature branding appears integrated into the design as expected. The Ja 3 silhouette maintains its performance-focused construction despite the luxury. These shoes are built to actually play in, not just showcase.

Morant has never been shy about making statements with his footwear choices. The Swarovski collaboration takes things to another level entirely. It’s rare to see actual crystal embellishments on court-ready basketball shoes.

Whether this pair eventually releases to the public remains unknown. Ja often gets exclusive player editions that never hit retail shelves. The Swarovski treatment would definitely make a premium price if released.

Swarovski x Nike Ja 3

The Swarovski x Nike Ja 3 that Ja Morant wore features a black textured upper with an intricate diamond-cut pattern across the entire shoe. The real showstopper is the Nike Swoosh completely covered in what appears to be clear and gold Swarovski crystals that catch every arena light.

The upper sits on a translucent purple-blue outsole that gives the shoe this icy appearance from below. Black laces run through the integrated lacing system keeping everything secure during play.

The textured black upper almost looks like scales or geometric shapes repeating throughout. You can see the crystals sparkling even in these court photos which means they must be absolutely blinding under direct lighting conditions.

Ja continues building his signature shoe legacy with Nike. Each model pushes boundaries in different ways for the brand. Bringing high fashion elements like Swarovski crystals into basketball is definitely a bold move.

“Very cool move on Quavo’s part, he seems to be gearing up for a promising comeback,” one social media user writes. “Need it now. Rocky and Pharrell created heat. Wish it was on DBD,” another says. “So we getting a new Pharrell album?,” someone else wonders.

Back in October, Quavo announced that he was in the process of readying a new album with Pharrell, which they recorded at the Louis Vuitton headquarters.

“It’s on the way,” he confirmed at the time. “We dropping it. Me and Pharrell. […] We recorded the whole album in Paris, we recorded at the Louis V headquarters.” For now, details like a title and release date have yet to be announced. The former Migos member did recently provide his fans with a massive update on the project, however.

According to an Instagram Story post shared earlier this week, the LP is finally “done,” and there are “more announcements coming soon.”

As for Rocky, he just unleashed his fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb. It boasts features from the likes of Doechii, Brent Faiyaz, Sauce Walka, and more. He also just announced his world tour in support of the album, which will include performances in North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The tour is set to begin on May 27 at the United Center in Chicago, and the final show will be in Paris at Accor Arena on September 30.
