During JAŸ-Z’s star-studded Extra Innings performance on Sunday, Pharrell joined him on stage, again, and seemingly revealed that Hov would be releasing some sort of new music. More specifically, he suggested that Hov could be targeting an unnamed individual.

“They poked the bear and then the bear cut his hair and now he got on his helmet,” he said. “And he getting ready to go to work. I hope you kill all them n*****, y’all know what I’m talking about.”

One could only imagine that it could be a slight toward Drake, who dissed both JAŸ and Pharrell in recent times. P has been rather indifferent to Drake’s shots. However, Kendrick certainly wasn’t. And considering that Hov recently took shots at Drizzy during his Roots Picnic freestyle, it seems highly possible that new music could contain more disses toward him.

JAŸ-Z Brings Out Beyoncé, Rihanna, & More

The three-night performance at Yankee Stadium kicked off with the 30-year celebration of Reasonable Doubt, including performances from Beyoncé, Jaz-O, and Nas. Night two saw JAŸ celebrate the 25-year anniversary of The Blueprint with Pharrell, Eminem, and Slick Rick. Then, on night 3, he brought out Clipse, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jeezy, Fat Joe, Pusha T, Pharrell, Usher, and Jadakiss.

Although last night’s show concluded the trifecta of performances in his hometown, JAY announced shows in Los Angeles, Paris, and London that will take place later this year.

Unfortunately, the show only started at midnight due to security problems at Yankee Stadium. It was unfortunate for the fans, although JAŸ-Z certainly made it up to all of his supporters. As far as guests were concerned, this was the most stacked performance of the entire weekend.

He even got to bring out Beyoncé for a performance of “Drunk In Love.” This was the song fans were hoping for, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The crowd pop at Yankee Stadium was a sound to behold.

During the live stream, Akademiks asked if Daphne Joy would be willing to go on a date. She accepted, and the two subsequently met in real life. This date went down about a week ago, although footage is now making its way to the internet.

For instance, in the clip below, we can see Ak and Joy meeting for the first time. It seemed a bit awkward at first, although they eventually built their rapport with one another. If you recall, Ak posted photos of the date on social media after the fact.

DJ Akademiks x Daphne Joy

Furthermore, Akademiks had admitted to spending $4000 on the date. It’s a hefty price to pay, although when you’re as famous and as rich as Akademiks, then perhaps it’s not so absurd.

One has to wonder what is next for Daphne Joy. Following the leak of her sex tape, the model went on a media tour of sorts. She has done numerous podcasts and even went on this date with Akademiks. Whether or not fans remain interested in her story remains to be seen.

As for Akademiks, he also had a sit-down with Charlamagne Tha God this weekend. It was here that they spoke about Jay-Z, Roc Nation, and influence over the music industry.

You can watch the entirety of that conversation below.

“To cover a timeless classic of A Tribe Called Quest’s record is an honor to be trusted to present it. I spoke with Q-Tip to let him know that—because the original is already a masterpiece,” said DJ Premier.

Last week, the Twitch legend came through with a list of students and professors. On the professor’s side, people like Lizzo and Pokimane will be teaching classes. Meanwhile, as far as the students are concerned, the admissions mostly include smaller creators looking to get their feet in the door. However, Kai did include superstars like PlaqueBoyMax, presumably because those creators will bring in numbers.

As you can imagine, there are a ton of creators feeling left out right now. FunnyMike, Ray, and Rakai are some of the streamers who have called out Cenat for keeping them off the list. Now, Cenat is clapping back with a diss track.

Kai Cenat Has Some Targets

In this new track, Cenat tells those who didn’t make the cut that they are “not worthy.” It is a harsh statement to make, although it’s a statement that isn’t exactly surprising either. After all, a diss track isn’t supposed to be respectful of people’s feelings.

Ultimately, this is all content that serves to promote Streamer University. Cenat and Rakai are going to remain friends regardless. Besides, they will probably try to crash the Streamer University party anyway.

Streamer University officially begins on Wednesday, July 15, and will run until Monday, July 20. There will be 120 students participating as streams will go on throughout each day. You will be able to watch this all on Twitch.

Both come dressed in a glossy blue patent leather upper. Red Jumpman logos appear on the Mid version for contrast. Howard’s Bison head logo sits on the tongue of each. These cleats will not be sold to the public.

They’re reserved strictly for Howard’s football program this season. Howard has worked with Jordan Brand since signing a deal in 2022. That partnership made Howard the only HBCU outfitted directly by the brand.

Programs like Michigan and Oklahoma also receive similar custom Jumpman cleats. Howard opens its season on August 29th against Alabama A&M. That game is part of the Cricket MEAC/SWAC Challenge in Atlanta.

It also marks new head coach Ted White’s first game back. White is a former Howard quarterback returning to lead his alma mater. He still holds several of the school’s all-time passing records.

Fans are probably expecting these Air Jordan 11 cleats to debut that day. The reveal adds another chapter to Howard’s growing Jordan Brand history. It’s one more example of the school’s exclusive sneaker relationship standing out.

Howard University Football Player Exclusives

Howard’s Air Jordan 11 cleats lean into the shoe’s signature patent leather finish. That glossy build gives both pairs a sharp look under stadium lights.

Full patent leather isn’t always practical for warm summer football weather. Still, it keeps these cleats visually consistent with past Howard Jordan releases. Howard has received several other Jordan Brand PEs since the 2022 deal began.

Past drops have included versions of the Jordan 1, 4, and 10. A retail Air Jordan 1 Low tied to Howard is also expected later this year.

Together, these releases show how far the partnership has grown. Howard remains one of the only HBCUs with this level of Jordan Brand access. That access keeps expanding each season with new player-exclusive designs.

While thousands of fans had made it into the Stadium safely, thousands of others were left in the dark. This subsequently led to a three-hour concert delay. Instead of starting at 9:15 PM EST, Hov only got on stage at 12:15 AM EST.

Some fans were only let in halfway through the show, and the anger was palpable. During the show, JAŸ-Z revealed that security had to close the doors because fans were rushing the gates. People without tickets were finding their way into the venue, and something needed to be done.

JAŸ-Z Reveals What Happened

As fans waited for JAŸ-Z to take the stage, “refund” chants echoed throughout Yankee Stadium. For a second there, it was believed that the show could just be straight up canceled. After all, New York City has a concert curfew of 11 PM EST. Now, Hov will have to pay a hefty fine for going over the time limit. Although, seeing as though this is a Yankee Stadium issue, he might get a pass.

Fans Want Refunds

The calls for refunds extended to social media. Even fans who got into the show seemingly want a refund for their troubles. After all, they went through a horrific experience outside of the gates. Not to mention, there were some who had to miss part of the show because of all this. While nights one and two went smoothly, it’s clear that this was a bit of a mess, to put it bluntly.

However, once the festivities began, Hov did not disappoint. He performed some of the biggest songs in his catalog, all while bringing out a superstar list of guests. Rihanna, Beyoncé, Usher, Clipse, Pharrell, and many more took the stage with JAŸ-Z last night. It was an incredible moment for the fans in the Stadium, and it seemed to be well worth the delay.
