Before all of this happened, Tjay was throwing shots at Kai Cenat. He did so by claiming that Kai’s ex-girlfriend, Gigi Alayah, was in his DMs. Fans felt as though this was all in poor taste, especially when you consider how Cenat quit streaming following the breakup. He was going through a lot, and Tjay kept throwing salt on the wound for no reason.

Now, Tjay is back on the Gigi Alayah and Kai Cenat drama wagon. Last night, he took to his Instagram, where he posted and deleted DMs with Gigi. Most of the messages were from five years ago. However, there was one message from May 12, saying, “Don’t just open my shit crazy.”

Lil Tjay Shows Off DMs

At this point, it seems as though Lil Tjay is fishing for some sort of reply from the streamer. It feels like a sales tactic, and a cynical one at that. Although we doubt that Kai Cenat is actually going to respond.

He continues to take a break from Twitch. Furthermore, he has been working on his Vivet fashion brand, and clearly does not have any time for these kinds of social media antics.

Whether or not Tjay is going to back off still remains to be seen. Whatever the case may be, fans seem to be over this entire ordeal.

The shoe builds on the classic AJ4 shape but adds details that tie directly into Nigel Sylvester’s world as a BMX rider. The most notable detail is on the heel, where “BIKE AIR” replaces the usual “NIKE AIR” branding.

The Swoosh logo sits above it with the word “BIKE” written in matching red embroidery. That same branding also appears on a hang tag attached to the lacing hardware on the tongue.

The colorway works well. The upper sits in a sail and cream leather base, with red plastic support wings, a red midsole, and dark navy accents on the outsole and midsole unit.

The mesh panels on the sides lean toward a golden tan shade, which adds some warmth to the overall palette. The Jumpman logo on the tongue appears in red, keeping things consistent throughout.

This is Sylvester’s second Air Jordan 4 collaboration with Jordan Brand. His first one, released back in 2022, was well received and performed strong on the resale market. Expectations are high for this one as well.

May 22nd is the date to know. Retail pricing will be $230 when these hit the shelves.

Nigel Sylvester Air Jordan 4 “Brick After Brick”

Nigel Sylvester is one of the most well-known names in professional BMX. He has built a career that crosses over into fashion and streetwear in a way that very few action sports athletes have managed.

His relationship with Jordan Brand goes back several years and has produced some genuinely interesting footwear. The “Brick After Brick” Air Jordan 4 leans into cycling culture through small details rather than loud graphics.

The BIKE AIR heel branding is the clearest nod to that world. Everything else about the shoe reads as a clean, wearable Jordan 4 with a warm color palette and premium materials throughout.

And while some people have been impressed by the technical abilities, others seem less impressed. Charlemagne Tha God, who probably could land in the Hall of Fame of Drake haters, said that Drake sounds like a “sore loser.” 

“This is what I feel: I hope this isn’t what ICEMAN is about, because if it is, I’m going to assume we’re calling Drake ICEMAN because he’s frozen in time. Okay, it’s like, bruh, get over that L you took to Kendrick already, because this record just continues the conversation that Drake is the biggest sore loser rap has ever seen,” he said. 

​Jess Hilarious suggested that Drake might have had more to say after the beef ended, while Loren LoRosa added that it sounds “redundant” after songs like “What Did I Miss?” since we’ve already heard him address some of these issues.

“If he had more to say, he didn’t have to wave the white flag two years ago,” Charlamagne responded. “He’s the one who put out ‘The Heart Pt. 6.’ and waved the white flag if he had more to say.”

Charlamagne Tha God Calls Drake Hypocritical

Charlamagne Tha God also argued that Drake is hypocritical since he’s acting as though Kendrick was the only one to make salacious claims in his diss records. “Y’all both went to hell on each other, but one of y’all has moved on, and the other hasn’t. It’s just like, don’t let your setback become your identity,” he continued. “I like hearing him rap, but the content he chose to address is very, very, very mid, bro. Once again, don’t let your setback become your identity.”

ICEMAN drops tonight. Do you think Drake will have more to offer than simply addressing the past beef? Let us know what you expect from Drake’s new album in the comment section below.

This sent Khaled back to the drawing board. However, he is ready to pop back out again, and the fans are curious to see which artists he will get on the album. After all, Khaled is best at bringing different voices together.

In the midst of all of this, it appears as though Khaled is in the middle of a weight loss journey. Khaled has documented these kinds of things before. This time around, the famous record producer has some serious progress to share, and his fans are in awe.

Below, you can see that Khaled has lost a significant amount of weight. He looks slimmer, and he seems to be feeling a lot more confident in his own skin.

DJ Khaled Is Feeling Himself

A post shared by DJ KHALED (@djkhaled)

Khaled didn’t reveal his weight loss secrets, although fans were certainly trying to figure out his methods. Of course, in this day and age, many people have resorted to Ozempic. This is a drug that suppresses your appetite, thus allowing you to lose weight without having to do much exercise. The producer could have also done it the old-fashioned way.

Whatever the case may be, fans are happy for Khaled, and rightfully so. Hopefully, we get to see a bit more of Khaled going forward, especially with this new album coming up. Hip-Hop always feels a bit livelier when Khaled is doing interviews and appearances.

During a recent interview with TIME Magazine, Minaj opened up about this shift, specifically in her views of Barack Obama. For one, she said that she felt that Black entertainers were expected to vote Democrat, and that in and of itself made her frustrated. Then add Obama’s relationship with Jay-Z, someone she claims has been trying to sabotage her career through Roc Nation. Her issues with Roc Nation ultimately lie in what she believes is a concentration of power in the music industry. However, she feels as though hip-hop as a whole felt resentment towards Obama because of his relationship with Jay-Z.

“I think Jay-Z ended up costing Obama a lot, whether he knows it or not,” she said. “Lots of rappers don’t like Jay-Z and were afraid to say it.” 

Beyond Hov, Nicki also stated that she found Obama’s remarks directed toward Black men on Kamala Harris’ campaign trail were condescending. 

“I just saw so many videos of Black men saying that they didn’t like the way they felt about that speech that Obama gave,” she explained. “They felt like they weren’t being listened to.”

How Long Has Nicki Minaj Been Supporting Donald Trump?

Nicki’s littered references to being a Republican throughout her career, namely in that one lyric where she declared that she’s voting for Mitt Romney. However, her appreciation for Trump predates her coming out in his corner. She said that she largely tried to stay away to ensure that she didn’t alienate her fans.

“I felt that way already about him, just that I didn’t dare act like that publicly,” she explained. “It’s been ingrained in everyone’s brain in the music business that we are supposed to be a Democratic family. I just knew they would not like me supporting Trump.”

Quotable Lyrics from Top Speed

I’m top speed (Yeah), on a whole ‘nother level (What)
I’m in too deep (Yeah), I don’t need no shovel (Don’t need no shovel)
Car broke outside, that boy in trouble
My car gon’ roll, and I tap on them pedal (Pedal, skrrt, skrrt)

On Wednesday evening, a song called “1 AM In Albany” was leaked online. Two other songs were leaked as well; however, “1 AM In Albany” is the track everyone wants to talk about. It makes sense why this would be the case. Throughout the song, Drake sends shots at Kendrick Lamar, Joe Budden, LeBron James, Dr. Dre, and even J. Cole.

As you can imagine, there were some strong reactions to this new effort. Whenever Drake drops something, fans are going to have something to say about it. This is especially true whenever the artist is taking shots at some of his enemies.

Drake’s career has been put under the microscope in recent years, and the reactions to “1 AM In Albany” are the perfect example of this. On social media, no one seemed to agree on how to feel about this one.

1 AM In Albany Reactions

In the tweets below, you can see two types of reactions to the song. Those who love it, and those who hate it. As you will read, his biggest fans love the energy. They believe Drake was done wrong by the industry, and they love to see how hungry he still is.

On the flip side of this, some feel as though Drake needs to stop talking about his feuds. Instead, they just want him to focus on making hits. Additionally, some are just sick and tired of Drake, regardless of what he does. No matter what, it’s clear that Drizzy can still elicit a response.

ICEMAN will officially be released tonight. Only then will we find out whether or not Drake can still be hip-hop’s most skilled hitmaker.

When it came to Budden, Drake did not hold back. As you will read below, he claimed to have slept with Budden’s girlfriend. Subsequently, he referenced the time Budden was seen naked in the hallway of his building.

“I watched this guy spasm with a puzzled face,” Drake raps. “Who knows which one of his bubble shaped tings I must’ve ushered through the double gates. Showed her the time of her life while broski having stomach aches, hearing ’bout good times at lovers lake and send her back to you while you sleepwalking naked in another state. […] Ah, you’ll live to see another day, and even if you don’t, it’s just another day. We ain’t crying for your punk ass anyway.”

These bars certainly started a firestorm on social media. After all, Budden can be opinionated on his podcast, and fans were excited to hear his response. Instead of waiting for his podcast, Budden hopped on an X Spaces broadcast with his longtime business partner, Ian Schwartzman.

Joe Budden Responds

It was here that Budden and Schwartzman acknowledged that everyone is going to get some bars on the new Drake record. Budden subsequently joked that he and Ian are going to need to paywall their next few episodes. While he laughed off the suggestion, Budden certainly understands there is a market for his commentary on the album.

As for the bars about Budden’s girlfriend, those were mostly ignored. Clearly, Joe is well aware of what was said. Perhaps he is waiting for that aforementioned paywalled podcast to reveal how he truly feels about all of this.

Either way, ICEMAN‘s official release goes down tonight, and Drake has gotten everyone’s attention.

At the same time, it was speculated that the father of her child was 21 Savage. For years, there were rumblings that the two were a couple. However, they never confirmed this to be the case. Once Latto announced her pregnancy, her relationship with 21 was revealed to the world.

Since that time, Latto has announced that her next album, Big Mama, will be her last. As of May 29, she will be retiring from the rap game. Whether or not she sticks to that plan remains to be seen.

What we do know is that fans are now speculating that she has already given birth to her child. This is all because of a video posted to social media, in which Latto reveals that she could not attend her recent Mother’s Day event.

Has Latto Given Birth?

Fans are speculating that her absence is a direct result of having given birth. Furthermore, throughout the video, a baby can be heard making some quiet noises. It is easy to put two and two together to deduce that perhaps Latto’s child has been born.

While Latto has not made such an announcement, there are numerous fans on social media who are pushing this theory. Ultimately, it is not far-fetched, given the evidence that has been provided.

With that being said, the artist will officially announce the arrival of her child when she is ready to do so. In the meantime, her fans will gear up for the new album, which is two weeks away.
