Well, it turns out that J Cole wasn’t just trying to win back public favor by his emotional performance–there was something that actually triggered those tears. Per Gotham Hip Hop, it surrounds the story of Collin Griffin, a cancer patient he met through a Make-A-Wish in 2017 who passed away a year later.

J. Cole’s Tearful “Love Yourz” Performance

“Collin’s Make-A-Wish was to meet Cole, and when he passed away the next year, Cole was even mentioned in his obituary. Collin met Cole backstage at a show in DC, and Dreamville took care of him with merch and the like. Cole even took the shoes off his feet and signed them for Collin, asking him to work hard to beat cancer,” the tweet reads. 

“Collin told Cole that his music has been inspirational for him and helped him get through this difficult time, to which Cole responded ‘No, you inspire me,’” it continued. “Collin broke down in tears. Fast forward to Cole’s Cleveland show over the weekend, Collin’s family attended and held up pictures of him, which Cole called out right before performing ‘Love Yourz.’”

The Fall-Off World Tour continues in Kansas City tonight (August 19th) at the T-Mobile Center, then heads to Denver on August 21st. Check out the post above and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below.

Quotable Lyrics from Speak On Fortune

The money I’m spending on clothes is the money you spend on a mortgage
I don’t like to talk about h*es, I feel like that topic is boring

Ross made it clear that his private jet was simply in the shop being fitted with Starlink internet. However, there were people out there who refused to believe the artist. They thought this was a convenient lie, and that something nefarious was going on.

Well, Rozay has seemingly gotten the last laugh. During an interview with Complex, Ross showed off his airplane hangar, including his $70 million jet. It was here that Ross revealed how his Starlink upgrade cost $2 million.

Ross went on to say that he does not see the jet as a symbol of his wealth. Instead, he believes it is symbolic of his various business deals. He is proud of how far he has come in his career, and he is making that crystal clear in the interview.

Despite showing off the jet, there are certainly going to be those out there who will disparage the artist regardless. Following the Drake beef in 2024, fans have not let Ross get away with anything. It’s yet another demonstration of how the beef led to some of the worst discourse ever.

There is no telling when Drake fans will finally let up on Ross.

Quotable Lyrics from Pink Diamonds

I’m immune to this shit, I go tycoon
Ain’t no sleepin’ on me, I’m a franchise
Got the water baguettes, it’s a landslide

It appears as though much of the frustration with Drake stems from the fact that he barked for a goth girl on command. In fact, Pinkchyu went on to win the dating show, which led to a new house for her mothers.

Lena The Plug and Lily Phillips were two other big names from the event. These three women went viral, and Drake was spotted with them after the show as he hosted a party. According to Kyle Forgeard of the NELK Boys, Drizzy orchestrated the after-party as he wanted to show the women a good time.

Forgeard was the host of the 20v1, and on the latest Full Send Podcast, he divulged some interesting information about the show. As it turns out, every participant in the 20v1 received $10,000 cash.

Kyle Forgeard Talks Drake 20v1

Forgeard also explained how he selected the women for the show. He tried to get a mix of regular people as well as women who had built a following online. Moreover, he picked Pinkchyu because Drake previously told Bobbi Althoff that he has a thing for goth girls.

As for the response to the show, it was more than Forgeard could have ever dreamed of. While speaking to his co-hosts, he said, “It might’ve set the record for the most clipped views on a stream.”

Drake was the talk of social media for an entire week in the aftermath of the show, so Forgeard probably isn’t far off. It just goes to show that when the biggest rapper in the world is involved, haters and fans will have a lot to say.

In a truly bizarre turn of events, Jaden and Julian’s father, Jamie, has entered the conversation. Over the weekend, he received all sorts of criticism for linking up with Adam22 of No Jumper. Many felt that this was exploitative, especially when you consider what his daughter has been through.

Well, things have only gotten worse as it pertains to Jamie Newman. Recently, he was a guest on N3on’s livestream. Jaden, Julian, and Camryn LaVine were also part of the stream. If you remember, LaVine had her sextape with streamer Tbvnks leaked, as well.

In the clip below, Jamie Newman suggests a threesome between N3on, LaVine, and his daughter is what everyone wants to see. “The threesome they been waiting for,” he said with glee.

Jaden Newman’s Dad Makes Bizarre Comments

Things haven’t stopped there. Jaden and Jamie appeared on an episode of the Pillow Talk podcast, where the latter spoke about his daughter’s dating habits. Mind you, this is a podcast that typically interviews adult film stars.

“I tell her all the time, ‘This guy’s gonna cheat on you. Why you not gonna have him cheat on you?’… A bad boy’s gonna cheat on you too. Just like an NBA guy is. I’ll take the NBA guy and take a house or a Bentley when he cheats over just getting a lawyer bill,” Jamie Newman said.

From there, Jamie Newman sat in on N3on’s lie detector test, in which the streamer was asked if he had watched Jaden’s videos. Throughout this entire segment, Jamie made outlandish comments that no father should say about his own daughter. The social media reactions just go to show that onlookers are also disgusted by all of this.

Turning a sextape leak into a podcast tour is nothing new. However, the inclusion of Jaden’s father has certainly made this one of the more upsetting stories in recent memory.

The design leans into a bold, sculpted look. A white base runs underneath dark, curved overlays that wrap around the upper in web-like shapes. There aren’t many traditional panels breaking things up. Most of the shoe flows together into one continuous form.

The sole stands out just as much. Instead of a flat midsole, the Sensory Runner sits on rounded, pod-like sections that run from heel to toe. It gives the shoe a bulky, almost bouncy stance on foot. Paired with slouchy socks and baggy pants in the photos, the whole fit leans into an oversized, exaggerated silhouette.

Bieber has said the shoe went through four years of adjustments before reaching this version. That’s a long runway for a single sneaker, especially in an industry built around fast urnarounds.

SKYLRK hasn’t released official images yet, so these on foot shots from Bieber are the clearest look so far.

SKYLRK Sensory Runner

SKYLRK launched in 2025 and started with slides, slippers, and even 3D printed soccer shoes. The Sensory Runner marks another step toward a full sneaker lineup. It follows the Matterdaddies, Bieber’s first lace-up SKYLRK model, which dropped back in June.

The brand has mostly grown through Bieber wearing prototypes in public rather than traditional marketing. He’s been spotted testing early samples for over a year, often before SKYLRK says anything official.

The Sensory Runner’s shape has already drawn comparisons to other boundary-pushing sneakers, from chunky New Balance builds to past Yeezy silhouettes. Whether people love it or hate it, it’s clearly not playing it safe.

Bieber himself seems fully hands on with the process. It makes sense given he’s spent 4 years fine tuning a single shoe. Overall all eyes are on when SKYLRK actually drops it.

If you remember, in the aftermath of King Von’s death, 6ix9ine was one of the loudest critics of Durk. He would consistently ask when Durk would “slide for Von.” Furthermore, he would stand in front of King Von murals and type disrespectful captions on Instagram.

On Tuesday, it was reported that an interview between DJ Akademiks, 6ix9ine, and Wack 100 will be used in Durk’s trial. Prosecutors want to use this interview to prove that Durk was pressured into obtaining retribution for the death of his friend.

In true 6ix9ine fashion, he decided to comment on the situation. He was a guest on DJ Akademiks’ stream last night, and he made sure to troll Lil Durk as much as possible. This even included some truly reprehensible comments about King Von and his passing.

6ix9ine Weighs In On Lil Durk Trial

“King Von is in the pits of hell,” 6ix9ine said. Subsequently, he claimed that Von was also getting beaten up by Tookah. DJ Akademiks was clearly uncomfortable with this commentary. After all, the streamer has a relationship with Durk. Moreover, he grew his fanbase by speaking on the gang violence in Chicago.

Clearly, 6ix9ine feels as though he has gotten one over on Durk. There was a time when 6ix9ine was the butt of every joke in the industry. While his music career is largely over, his media career has only just begun.

Regardless of how you may feel about 6ix9ine, it remains clear that he won’t be going away, anytime soon.

His antics alongside Chrisean Rock have certainly made things more complicated. Although, as we have reported, it has resulted in lots of money for Blueface and his family, as he rakes in close to $50,000 per week.

On Tuesday, it was revealed that Nevaeh had gone into labor. This all took place while Blueface was streaming alongside Chrisean in his green Corvette. The rapper subsequently rushed to the hospital, and last night, Nevaeh gave birth.

Blueface streamed the aftermath on Kick, and it was here that he revealed the name of his son. He and Nevaeh went with Jonathan Jr. The official birthdate is August 18, 2026.

Blueface Holds His Son

Given the fact that Chrisean named their kid Chrisean Jr, one has to wonder if this name was supposed to be a response to that. Either way, Blueface appeared happy while holding the child, even if Nevaeh seemed uncomfortable about having the cameras on her after such a vulnerable delivery.

Blueface has become one of the biggest creators on Kick over the past few weeks. His streams with Nevaeh and Chrisean Rock have been filled with family drama. He has concocted a love triangle that has captivated viewers. While many probably look down upon this content, there is no denying that is has become a moneymaker.

Just a couple of days ago, Chrisean Rock made the claim that she and Blueface made $160K in two days of streaming. It just goes to show that if Blueface is involved, the fans are going to follow.
