As caught by the Akademiks TV affiliate page on Twitter, Ak was on stream reacting to the old clip of Charlamagne. In it, the radio host speaks on giving the disgraced singer “props” for some of the explicit things he saw in the tape. He even called one particularly lewd part of the tape “one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen in my life.”

The post also brought up another clip of Tha God talking about his initial non-consensual sexual encounter with his now-wife, as well as Charlamagne Tha God’s sexual assault allegations.

“I’ve never heard this Charlamagne clip before,” DJ Akademiks reacted. “Somebody stitched together this thing,” he said of the social media clip in question, referring to the two clips being in one along with Charlamagne’s sexual assault accuser’s claims.

“Charla, who’d you piss off?” Ak continued. “Why is all this coming up again, though? I’m just asking… A lot of people have varying degrees of approval or criticism about his show being on Netflix. I’m wondering, does that manifest into some campaign to make him look bad? Are they trying to get this on the radar of Netflix? […] Maybe Charla’s thing is that Drake has a PR campaign that also attacks him. I don’t know…”

DJ Akademiks Reacts To Charlamagne Tha God

We will see if The Breakfast Club‘s host responds to this viral debate anytime soon. In the past, he has denied sexual assault allegations against him and fought them in court.

Elsewhere, R. Kelly continues to draw controversy, whether it’s people comparing others to him, debating about his crimes, or folks getting updates about his prison sentence. Comments like these look even more controversial in hindsight, so we’ll see if these get a reevaluation or apology soon.

Investigators say the confrontation began during an altercation inside the venue, which reportedly stemmed from jewelry. Surveillance footage reviewed by authorities allegedly captured a firearm falling to the ground during the dispute. Prosecutors claim Ford picked up the weapon and opened fire, striking multiple people inside the crowded restaurant.

Police allege NBA Ben10 was specifically targeted during the gunfire. Authorities claim that after the initial shots, AllStar continued firing at close range before attempting to shoot Ben10 again after the weapon ran empty. Investigators further allege AllStar Jr assaulted the injured rapper with the firearm before fleeing the scene.

NBA Ben10 Is Reportedly Permanently Paralyzed 

According to court filings, Fields suffered catastrophic spinal damage and has reportedly lost feeling below the waist. Officials stated the injuries are expected to leave him permanently paralyzed in his lower body.

Following the shooting, investigators say Ford concealed the firearm inside the restaurant before escaping in a Cadillac Escalade. Federal authorities had already indicted the rapper earlier this month on charges of illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.

Ford was later arrested in Detroit after investigators alleged he posted social media videos referencing the shooting and mocking the victims. During questioning by Houston police, authorities say Ford admitted involvement in the shooting. He remains in federal custody while awaiting further court proceedings in Texas. We will keep you posted on any further updates.

However, this is a very speculative interpretation that could mean many different things, and might not directly tie back to OVO. As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, the tour outro’s visuals displayed an eye, a group of armed men, and most importantly for this conversation, an image of an owl followed by an image of a rat.

Many fans on both sides of this feud connected the owl to OVO and interpreted its juxtaposition with a rat as a negative connotation, at the very least. Maybe it’s a specific snitching accusation, but again, this is all pretty unclear.

Given how owls are natural predators of rats, this could have nothing to do with this beef. After all, it’s not exactly a favorable connotation for the Harlem creative. Still, some fans are running wild with this theory. But the issues between these former collaborators aren’t about “rat” behavior at all.

Why Is Drake Beefing With A$AP Rocky?

Rather, A$AP Rocky and Drake’s beef is mostly about their relationships with the same women. At least, that’s how the former assessed it during an interview with DJ Akademiks earlier this year.

Drizzy used to love Rihanna deeply, but their alleged romance and dynamic was not reciprocal to that degree. Instead, she had children with the A$AP Mob frontman, and his dynamic with the OVO mogul soured rapidly in the wake of that. Also, Rocky allegedly had relations with the mother of The Boy’s son Adonis, Sophie Brussaux.

Now, especially after the Kendrick Lamar battle, Drake and A$AP Rocky are fully opposed. Rocky dissed the 6ix God on the Future and Metro Boomin collab album WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, although he later admitted he regrets dragging their romantic crossovers into the spat.

We’ll see if future Don’t Be Dumb concerts add more significant fuel to this fire. For now, this owl and rat juxtaposition is all fans have to go by, and it’s not the strongest foundation.

“B*tch said what? Let’s clock it/ Really got a Hermes store in my closet/ Talkin’ ‘bout buyin’ big mama a bag like my n***a ain’t already bought it/ Like my n***a ain’t comin’ off racks/ Big bank over here, big facts/ Wish a b*tch would get in that booth/ I’m callin’ up PlaqueBoyMax,” she raps. 

The bars feel random since it appeared that Latto and Cardi B cleared up their issues. The supposed beef stemmed from a leaked call that surfaced during a night when Cardi and Nicki Minaj were firing shots at each other. In the audio, Cardi said she wasn’t “p**sy ass Latto” after Ice Spice dissed her on a leaked verse.

Cardi swiftly offered an apology to Latto online, claiming that she has nothing but love for the rapper with whom she’s worked in the past on songs like “ErrTime.” In the same tweet, she offered to buy Latto a new bag.

Cardi B’s Initial Apology

“I was ranting and hot at the moment but I fck with Latto HEAVY!! I respect everything about her including her team thats so sweet.. AND NOPE! I’m not too prideful to apologize to somebody I really respect so this my public apology and now ima privately buy her a bag,” she wrote. 

What’s interesting about “Gimme Dat” is that it comes after some speculated that Latto dissed Cardi at a concert. During a performance of “Put It On Da Floor,” Latto’s repeated use of the word “p*ssy” sparked speculation that she was referencing that leaked audio. Latto later denied this to be the case, so it’s a bit surprising that she’s doubling back on their feud. Now. Should Cardi B respond to Latto? Let us know in the comment section below.

The page posted a video from 23-year-old Madi Cannon (also known as Madi K), claiming she has allegedly been accompanying Weezy on past tour stops, with more on the way. They also posted an alleged picture of Madi at a recent Wayne performance and a picture of her with a luxury bag.

The legendary rapper still hasn’t spoken out about this matter. It seems like neither has Madi. But that hasn’t stopped the gossip train from reacting to their alleged romance, whether in positive or negative ways. Some are very happy for them, whereas others are more critical of the age gap and the dynamic.

But again, no one really knows any of this for sure. So we’ll have to wait for a stronger confirmation.

Who Is Madi K?

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

For those unaware, Madi K or Madi Cannon is a 23-year-old social media influencer reportedly from Kokomo, Indiana. Not much else is known about her online, but we’re sure Internet sleuths will continue to peddle theories and provide more alleged scoops.

As far as Madi’s connection to the New Orleans MC or the context of their alleged romance, folks are completely in the dark. It’s not that surprising for him to be more private about these matters, despite previous high-profile relationships with his high school sweetheart Toya Johnson, the other mothers of his kids like Lauren London and Nivea, and past relationships like Trina and Denise Bidot.

We will see if either allegedly engaged individual addresses these rumors at any point or goes for a hard launch on social media. Fans are very curious about all of this, but maybe the alleged couple wants to keep things under wraps. Maybe after allegedly finding the fiancée, fans will then back off.

Complex News got a detailed unboxing on camera. The shoe arrives inside a locked black briefcase with a combination lock on the front. Inside, the pair sits wrapped in custom branded tissue covered in J Balvin smiley face graphics and basketball prints. The presentation alone sets it apart from anything in his existing Jordan catalog.

The shoe itself is all black. A black canvas upper covers the entire shoe with a tonal Swoosh cut into the material. The Jumpman logo sits on the tongue and J Balvin’s lightning bolt smiley face logo appears as a Velcro patch on one tongue.

The package also includes a matching pair of black socks, alternate Velcro patches in yellow and red, alternate laces in neon yellow, and a handwritten note from J Balvin himself.

The whole package is the kind of thing that usually stays behind closed doors. J Balvin made 100 of them and sent them out to people close to him. There is no release date attached to this shoe and no indication that one is coming.

J Balvin’s F&F Air Jordan 1

The briefcase packaging is the first detail that separates this from a typical friends-and-family pair. Most F&F releases arrive in a standard shoebox with minor custom touches.

J Balvin went further with a locked case, handwritten notes, and accessory options inside. That level of packaging detail usually only appears on the highest-tier collaborations.

The all-black canvas construction is a significant departure from his multicolor releases. The Velcro patches give the recipient some control over how the shoe looks on foot. Swapping between the yellow and red patches changes the whole character of the shoe without touching the colorway itself.

The 100-pair limit makes this one of the rarest J Balvin Jordan pieces in existence. His previous friends-and-family Air Jordan 1 Low also surfaced publicly before any announcement. That pattern has become part of how J Balvin operates within the Jordan Brand ecosystem.

Akademiks reacted to the track “National Treasures” in a livestream, as caught by the Akademiks TV page on Twitter. In the song’s second half, the 6ix God raps the following: “Boy gotta dip out the 6ix, run out the 6ix, just like you did / Why was TPS at my crib until you boys slid? It is what it is.”

“That’s at Kendrick,” Ak claimed. “‘Why was TPS at my crib until you boys slid?’ Word on the street, for whatever reason, they had police outside of Drake’s crib while Kendrick was in town. It’s like they watching the n***a now. Not saying that… That’s word on the street. You know I’m tapped in with Torontonians, you know?”

DJ Akademiks suggested Drake’s Kendrick Lamar diss accused him of having TPS stationed at The Embassy while he was in town for the concert. Videos emerged of police cars at the location during the two sold-out Rogers Centre shows in June of last year. The line could also refer to him having a heavy police escort and security presence while leaving his dates, video of which also hit the Internet.

Kendrick Lamar & Drake’s Beef

This interpretation posits that the Toronto superstar is making fun of his Compton rival for allegedly being scared of a confrontation and moving with heavy backing. But all of this is speculative, even if the bar seems unmistakable for some.

Right now, Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef is mostly manifesting via this ICEMAN era. But Kendrick hasn’t really done much to respond or chime in. We’ll see if he does talk about this situation when he pops out again.

Elsewhere, the big battlefield is the UMG lawsuit over “Not Like Us.” The Boy and his legal team are currently appealing the defamation filing’s dismissal.
