The shoe dates back to one of the most fascinating chapters in sneaker history. After parting ways with Adidas in the Summer of 2002, Bryant was a footwear free agent throughout the 2002-03 NBA season. During that window, Jordan Brand created a Lakers-themed Air Jordan 3 PE specifically for him.

Bryant wore the shoes during his legendary 52-point double-overtime performance against the Houston Rockets. That alone makes this pair incredibly significant. A game-worn shoe from one of Kobe’s all-time performances is the kind of artifact collectors chase for years and years.

Each shoe is dual-signed by Bryant in black permanent marker and inscribed with his number 8. James Spence Authentication has authenticated the signatures, and MeiGray has conclusively photo-matched the sneakers according to Sports Illustrated. The original sample tags with a production date of November 25th, 2002 remain on the shoes for maximum authenticity.

The auction is part of JOOPITER’s Gametime collection and is open to global bidding at joopiter.com from April 14th to April 30th, 2026. The timing is meaningful as it coincides with the 10th anniversary of Kobe’s final NBA game.

Kobe Bryant’s Nike Kobe 3 PE Auctioned

The Kobe Air Jordan 3 PE features a white leather upper with cement grey elephant print wrapped around the toe and heel. Also purple is at the top lace eyelet and midsole, while gold hits the footbed, tongue padding, lower lace eyelets, Jumpman branding on the tongue, and sections of the outsole.

The Lakers color scheme is unmistakable throughout. Kobe’s signature in black marker sits further prominently on the side panel of each shoe. The size 14 sample tags and production date stamps add that final layer of authenticity.

Overall, every element of this shoe tells the story of a rare moment in Kobe Bryant’s career. It will be fascinating to see what the final selling price of this timeless piece of NBA history achieves.

“Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s CBD. As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage,” a Victoria Police spokesman told the Herald Sun.

Ruby Rose’s Social Media Posts

Ruby Rose publicized her allegation against the singer on the social media platform, Threads, earlier this week. Responding to a post from Complex, which highlighted Perry’s reaction to Justin Bieber’s performance at Coachella, Rose alleged, “Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a sh*t what she thinks.”

In more posts, she explained: “She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friends lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomitted on her.”

A spokesperson for Katy Perry denied the validity of Rose’s claims in a statement on Monday. “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies,” they said. “Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”

On Tuesday, Rose followed up on Threads to confirm with fans that she had spoken with the police. “As of this afternoon, I have finalised all my reports. This means I am no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved,” she shared. “It’s going to look like I am ignoring everything from supportive messages, to other people’s experiences, but I’m not. This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief. I can start the healing process now. And temporary move forward. I love you all so much.”

His post arrived alongside a screenshot of a recent tweet by Isaac Hayes III, who had a similar take. “The Kendrick Drake beef killed commercial rap music,” he wrote. “It turned hip hop into an engagement art form, not a chart performing one.”

“Everyone showed up, debated, replayed, picked sides, ran the numbers up,” he continued. “Meanwhile, the Billboard Hot 100 kept moving. The beef fed the masses and killed the charts. So I see why labels are cutting back. Black folks would rather tear down artists from both sides when collaboration is what drives expansion.”

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

News of The Game’s hot take arrives as fans continue to await the release of Drake’s ninth studio album, ICEMAN. At the time of writing, the project still doesn’t have an official release date, though it’s expected to drop sometime this year. The hitmaker has been teasing the LP for some time now, and it will mark his first full-length solo release since 2023’s For All The Dogs.

The news also comes as Drake maintains his commercial dominance. He even broke his own impressive streaming record earlier this week. He’s reached a whopping 88.74 million monthly listeners on Spotify, more than any other rapper has managed to reach in the past. His previous record was 88.71 million monthly listeners.

Before that, it was reported that he’s on track to have the biggest streaming year for a rapper ever. He’s already managed to rack up 5 billion streams on Spotify in 2026.

“He didn’t want to pay me,” he explained, as seen in a clip shared by No Jumper. “So, I think I’m gonna make more money doing it this way. I’m editing my interview now.” Boosie went on to show off his setup, which includes a chair placed in front of a camera somewhere in his house.

This latest announcement has earned mixed reactions from social media users. While some are looking forward to seeing what he comes up with, others are convinced he’s in for a rude awakening. The latter group is questioning whether or not Boosie will actually earn more than he did for his interviews with Vlad, making their doubt apparent.

Boosie Badazz & Kodak Black Beef

“He is delusional if he thinks he will make more money doing his own interviews then what Vlad was paying him, he thinks it’s easy, smh,” one user on Twitter/X writes. “Bro should’ve been doing this sh*t his self,” another claims. Someone else simply says, “Gotta do what you have to do.”

While it doesn’t seem like Boosie has any hard feelings towards Vlad, he did make several headlines last month for his beef with Kodak Black. Their feud was reignited during a livestream, and the two of them exchanged various insults.

Boosie, for example, blasted Kodak for his alleged substance abuse issues. Kodak targeted Boosie’s family life in response, calling him out for his strained relationship with his lesbian daughter. Eventually, Boosie hopped online to say that some of his rap peers have told him to back off. He agreed, but questioned why they didn’t have that same energy when he was getting dissed years ago.

Recently, bodycam footage of the arrest surfaced online. It revealed that Harris’ famous father, T.I., tried to get him out of trouble. That didn’t work out, as captured by Watch Live Bitez, and he was booked regardless. Shortly after his arrest, Harris took to Instagram to address the ordeal, indicating that he wasn’t all that upset.

“Living a good Pikachu life in Tokyo then come back to ATL and team rocket(F**KIN POLICE) catch me wit a master ball and throw me n jail all night,” he wrote alongside footage of himself rapping in a go-kart. “WELLL DAMNNN F*CK EM.”

He also posted a photo of himself in his onesie. He captioned it, “Welp guess you can say they caught da Pikachu wit a master ball.” In a follow-up post, he said “F*** dat police” and threatened to sleep with his arresting officer’s wife.

Harris has dealt with some legal issues in the past. Back in 2024, he was arrested after nearly hitting a cop car while leaving a gas station. When the officer approached his vehicle, they smelled marijuana. They also quickly realized that he had a warrant for failure to appear.

News of King Harris’ latest legal woes comes just a few weeks after he made headlines for jumping into his father’s feud with 50 Cent. He released multiple diss tracks aimed at the G-Unit boss, making it clear that he wasn’t willing to let disrespect towards his parents slide.

Users on social media have had plenty to say about the pictures, with fans of both Lamar and his rival, Drake, weighing in. “N****s been checking on Kendrick’s personal life like their lives depended on it. Now here is he with his family, y’all can rest now,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another countered: “In his own hometown and not a single fan in sight. That’s how I know he’s heavy botting. Drake would be hoarded by screaming fans at every turn. He’d have to rent out the whole park just to get on a ride.”

Other fans voiced their displeasure with people on both sides of the aisle for constantly feuding. “Every post about Kendrick/drake is filled with haters from the other side and its annoying as hell, yell as weird as the paparazzi following Kendrick for now reason. They’re both amazing, stop hating,” one fan wrote.

Kendrick Lamar’s Family

Kendrick Lamar has been in a long-term relationship with his partner, Whitney Alford. They share two children, a son and a daughter. Their relationship was a viral topic during Drake’s feud with Lamar back in 2024.

In other news, Lamar has been making headlines in recent days after Billboard confirmed that it had been nine months since hip-hop had a song within the top 10 spots on the Hot 100. It’s the longest drought of the streaming era. The last track to land near the top of the chart was Drake’s single “What Did I Miss?” in July 2025. Lamar previously dominated the chart with his 2024 album, GNX.

Jenae traveled to Tanzania with McCann to celebrate her 31st birthday. Earlier this month, she was found unresponsive in her villa and taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death remains ongoing. McCann has yet to comment on the situation publicly.

What Happened To Ashlee Jenae?

On Sunday, her family confirmed that she had passed in an official statement. “Nothing about this loss feels real. One moment she was celebrating love and life in truly Ashly fashion, and the next, she was gone. The suddenness, the unanswered questions, and the distance from home have made this tragedy even more overwhelming for our family,” they wrote in a statement. “At this time, there is an active investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ashly’s suspicious passing. Although we have many questions, we are placing our trust in the officials in Zanzibar and are working closely with them as we seek clarity and answers.”

They concluded: “We respectfully ask that any information not directly provided by our family be treated as unverified and not considered factual at this time.”

Ashlee Jenae’s parents have since sat down with CBS News to discuss their daughter’s death. In that interview, they revealed that McCann was the one that allegedly informed them that she was in the hospital. The parents added that they intend to travel to Tanzania to get a better idea of what happened.

They have launched a GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising $50,000 to help cover “travel costs, arrangements, and unexpected expenses.” At the time of publishing, it has reached $40,000 in donations.

“The defendant repeatedly committed crimes against unspecified members of the public to generate profit via YouTube and distributed the content in disregard of Korean law,” the court stated. The streamer apologized on his way into the courtroom, per local media.

“I am remorseful,” he said. “I want to apologize to the people of Korea. And I want to change my life and become a better person.” In January, he compared himself to Otto Warmbier on Twitter/X. Warmbier was an American college student who was arrested in North Korea in 2016. He was eventually returned to the United States in a vegetative state and died shortly after.

Johnny Somali Arrest

“I am the Otto Warmbier of South Korea,” Johnny Somali wrote. “A political prisoner wrongfully and falsely accused and made into a scapegoat by a tyrannical government. The truth will come to light soon.”

In addition to his labor prison sentence, Johnny Somali is barred from working at any institutions that serve minors or people with disabilities for the next five years. He must be registered as a sex offender for the same amount of time. His trial was initially supposed to begin last March, but it was delayed after prosecutors hit him with more charges. These charges were related to him allegedly using artificial intelligence to generate sexual content featuring him and a female YouTuber.

Johnny Somali was previously arrested in Japan for trespassing and detained in Israel for disruptive behavior.

However, Chappelle’s Show only made it through two full seasons before the plug was pulled in the middle of season three. Chappelle could have cashed in his chips. Instead, he decided to walk away because the show was being perceived and interpreted in a way that he did not approve of.

For years, Chappelle went away. He escaped the limelight and did his own thing with his family. He eventually returned to the spotlight and has delivered numerous comedy specials for Netflix. However, through all of this, fans have been holding out hope that someday, Chappelle’s Show will return in all of its glory.

In a recent interview, Chappelle was asked about the prospect of the show coming back. Of course, this question was a bit of a long shot, but why not ask when the man is in front of you? As you will see, Chappelle’s answer was actually quite surprising.

The Status Of Chappelle’s Show

The comedian noted that a year ago, he would have said that a Chappelle’s Show reboot was out of the question. Over the past week or so, the comedian has been rethinking his position. Ultimately, he sees it as a pretty good idea.

Chappelle’s Show was known for some iconic sketches. Lines from these sketches are still referenced in popular culture. It is clear that there is still a whole lot of love for the show out there. Fans would be very happy if it came back. However, whether or not Chappelle actually follows through is a different question entirely.

At the end of the day, he would have to bring back the original writers and cast members. This is a lot easier said than done. Regardless, there would be lots of networks out there ready to pick up the show. We can only hope that it comes back soon.
