For those unaware, what began as 21 Savage’s plea for a reconciliation between Young Thug and Gunna eventually led to Thugger, Meek Mill, Pooh Shiesty, and other rappers saying “f**k the streets” online. Savage took to his Instagram Story recently to address some of the backlash.

“When I say f the streets I’m talking about the part that gave me trauma and made me can’t sleep at night,” he wrote, as caught by The Shade Room on IG. “If you ain’t tired of that part you ain’t been through it!”

Before this, 6ix9ine and Blueface had dismissed 21 Savage’s remarks. “I love the streets,” the latter tweeted, as caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram. “You square a** n***as should have never jumped off the curb smh.”

“Now it’s f**k the streets,” Tekashi posted on his Instagram Story. “But remember when it was ‘yo 69 we don’t care about your platinum records WE PLATINUM IN THE STREETS’ but now it’s f**k the streets.”

These responses from both provocative MCs represent a wider pushback against 21 Savage’s anti-“streets” statements. Fans opposing it are on three sides: one brings up folks like Gunna, whom other rappers left behind due to snitching allegations. If “the streets” are no more, then forgiveness, reconciliation, and accountability are in order.

Another side is happy to see these rappers leave the streets behind in favor of more “authentic” voices in their view, dismissing their loyalty to “the streets” as a whole. The final side thinks that this is all because these artists’ music isn’t hitting like it used to.

No matter what you think, it’s clear that there are a lot of contradictions, nuances, and presumptions at play. Hopefully fans champion perseverance, growth, and earnestness over perceptions of Internet authenticity, numbers games, and the like.

The theory revolves around Hendrix’s “BRAZZIER” track, which contains the following lines: “I’ll f**k a rapper b***h in the whip / Write her a verse, give her a lil’ clout” and “She a nympho, benzo, b***h just hit the lotto / Put them yellow diamonds on a Black b***h, call her Mulatto [possible double entendre for Latto’s original rap name].” No Jumper included a clip on Instagram of the Atlanta femcee talking to Mariah The Scientist and Angel Reese about a time in which she allegedly got intimate with someone in a car.

Basically, the theory is that she cheated on 21 Savage with Future, and that this caused their rift. But of course, things aren’t that simple. Not only does the Sugar Honey Iced Tea artist not give enough detail about her alleged encounter to make heads or tails of it, but the lyrics in question could be about so many different people.

Also, neither she nor her public image have a monopoly on wordplay with the “-otto” rhyme scheme. Finally, Savage and Pluto’s online altercation didn’t have much context to it to begin with. And if it did, it definitely wasn’t romantic in any way. So maybe these are just general and nondescript lyrics falling out of context… Or maybe fans are onto something.

Either way, take all of this speculation with a massive grain of salt. We’ll see if any lyricist decides to speak out about this, which seems very unlikely.

For context, Latto seemingly confirmed her relationship with 21 Savage during a TMZ street interview. While they still have some plausible deniability, they can’t quite escape the years of speculation leading up to this moment.

Meanwhile, Future and 21 Savage’s Atlanta hip-hop conflicts continue to develop. Things began only with the YSL RICO case, but now, a lot of loyalties are in question. Whether or not this is another instance of that is a mystery…

This is because of an alleged source that reportedly spoke to the publication about their supposed romance. “Travis and Tyla shared an immediate connection when they first met, and their relationship has only continued to grow stronger over the past year,” the source reportedly alleged. Neither artist seems to have publicly addressed this report at press time, and we’ll see if that changes soon.

As for what the South African singer said about her 2023 dance with the Houston MC, she downplayed inklings of a brewing romance. “I was at the GQ event, and Travis was one of the Men of The Year so we were celebrating,” she reportedly told Complex. They played the [“Water”] remix, and we were vibing. He’s such a cool person. I didn’t know what to expect before I met him, I was kind of nervous. He’s so chill, so funny, so cool.”

For those unaware, Travis Scott and Tyla have two collabs at press time. If these rumors are true, maybe they have more on the way.

They first linked up towards the tail end of 2023, with La Flame hopping on the remix of the massive hit “Water.” Then, almost two years later in July of 2025, Scott dropped JACKBOYS 2, which included the collaboration “PBT.” That track also featured Vybz Kartel.

Travis Scott and Tyla also experienced scares together, as their music video shoot in London back in August was reportedly threatened by a knife-wielding man. Beyond that, though, there hasn’t been much in the public eye to connect them in a big way.

As such, we’ll just have to wait until either artist confirms or denies this outright. On the other hand, they could just choose silence and let fans go wild.

As caught by 2cool2bl0g on Instagram, Budden took to his IG Story with a seemingly shady remark. “Not even doing this with them today lol,” he captioned a repost of the announcement. Funkmaster Flex left a slew of crying-laughing emojis in the comments of Hot 97‘s Instagram post, which has absolutely no context to it. Is he laughing at the new hosts, at folks who are up in arms about it, or are they joyful tears?

Either way, a lot of folks have responded dismissively to Ronndell, Lana, and Million’s inclusion on Hot 97. Many of them don’t know who they are, but others are excited for that exact same reason. After all, new blood in media is important. But we’ll see what their roles actually are concerning Ebro In The Morning, as a replacement for that program hasn’t been fully confirmed.

What we do know is that Funk Flex will take over the morning slot in about three years, which is wild to think about. He had also teased three new hosts for the morning slot, which lines up with this announcement.

For those unaware, Hot 97‘s new hosts Ronndell Smith, Lana Harris, and Million might not be household names yet, but they have significant backgrounds. Smith is an actor and comedian best known for his appearances in his friend Chase Chrisley’s reality television shows. Harris is a journalist and former news anchor in Atlanta, whereas Million is a content creator and interviewer.

Amid a lot of chaos for Hot 97, at least there is new talent to step into their next era. We’ll just have to wait and see how things turn out and what show they bring listeners.

This time, it came on four wheels instead of inside the ring. He just revealed a custom Ferrari Purosangue “Venuum” Edition, and it fits his brand perfectly. The timing matters as Paul just stepped into the biggest fight of his career and paid the price.

Most fighters disappear after a loss like that, but Paul did the opposite. He leaned into the spectacle and reminded everyone he still controls the spotlight.

For better or worse, that has always been his greatest skill. The Purosangue itself already carries controversy. It is Ferrari’s first SUV, a sentence that still upsets purists.

For decades, Ferrari stood for low-slung performance and racing heritage. An SUV breaks that tradition completely. Paul clearly does not care about tradition. If anything, that tension makes the car even more appealing to him.

Jake Paul’s New Ferrari Purosangue

Paul’s Purosangue was customized by Venuum Black, a Dubai-based shop known for extreme luxury builds. The result is loud, polished, and impossible to ignore. The exterior keeps a dark, aggressive tone, while sharp yellow accents cut through the body.

It feels closer to a supercar than a family SUV. Inside, the yellow theme takes over completely. The seats, steering wheel, and trim are wrapped in matching leather. Even small details lean into the color choice. Nothing about the cabin feels subtle or factory-issued. It looks designed to shock anyone who opens the door.

This Ferrari also fits into a longer tradition. Flashy cars have always played a role in boxing and rap culture. They symbolize success, survival, and status after public scrutiny. Fighters and artists often use luxury cars to reassert control over their narrative.

Paul understands that better than most. In that sense, the Purosangue is more than transportation. It is image management. Paul may have lost in the ring, but his lifestyle machine keeps moving. The car keeps his name circulating while fans debate what comes next.

The first volume of the show’s final season reportedly garnered 23.6 million views in its first week on the platform. On the other hand, The Reckoning notched 21.8 million views in six days.

“I know Stranger Things is pissed they spent $500M on a season, only to be beat by Diddy doing stranger things,” 50’s repost read, with him offering his own caption. “I been working today I haven’t seen anything what’s going on?” While it seems like this isn’t the most accurate statement, it definitely speaks to the Diddy docuseries’ massive success, albeit with many controversies in its wake. Still, that is probably exactly how the G-Unit mogul would want it to go these days.

50 Cent caught flack for his Diddy docuseries, whether it was from the general public or other celebrities. A lot of other people enjoyed it and praised it, but Marlon Wayans was one of a few outspoken voices who called Fif out for spreading bad karma into the world.

They had an online spat before both parties seemingly cooled off. In Wayans’ case, his family group chat partly convinced him to leave it alone.

“I don’t think brothers need to be quarreling in public like that. And then what did I get into? A public quarrel with a brother,” he remarked. “And I just think it was bad for the culture. So I kind of backed out. […] Dame was like, ‘Why you pick the biggest brother? He’s on gamma rays. Stick to beefing with Soulja Boy, Kevin Hart. People that we can beat… Leave guys that got shot nine times alone. He survived nine. I backed out, I think, because I always want to focus on positivity and fun, and I got a movie coming out, Scary Movie 6.”

For those unaware, the Gangsta Grillz alum previously debunked rumors about his “Pop Out” absence, whereas Wack 100 implied that he was never part of the performance plan. Now, though, Jayceon Taylor is claiming that he chose not to go, contrary to the popular and speculative belief that he just didn’t get an invite.

“I sat it out on purpose,” The Game remarked concerning Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out.” “It’s too much gang politics with me when I come somewhere. It was n***as at the ‘Pop Out’ that I don’t f**k with. So why go to the ‘Pop Out,’ bring homies, [and] get into a confrontation when the n***a is having a great moment?”

The hosts pushed back, arguing that the “Pop Out” was all about unity between different groups. “You say that, but all it take is one n***a from this s**t to get out of pocket with one n***a. And that’s what comes with me. What you mean, come by myself? I’m not doing that… I ain’t gon’ let nothing happen to me… If something happens to me, whoever did it is getting smoked. […] I can make that decision, I don’t understand how you get left out, I can just go. Can’t nobody tell Game I can’t go nowhere I want to go in L.A.”

The Game’s Kendrick Lamar Comments

Considering The Game’s other remarks related to Kendrick Lamar, some fans think this is a backtrack. However, in both instances of him explaining his “Pop Out” absence, he failed to confirm a few things. Did Kendrick and company invite Game to attend or be a part of the performance? Did he decline this offer to attend or perform? That seems to be the main point of contention. Or did Game just choose not to even make the effort to attend, and that’s what he’s referring to?

Either way, things remain quite unclear when it comes to the specifics. What we can assume from these explanations is that The Game has no issues with K.Dot, he supports the “Pop Out,” and he does not feel the need to explain his movement when it comes to Lamar’s opponents like Drake. While there’s still some pushback and less gracious interpretations of his remarks, at the end of the day, it’s all over notions and presumptions that we still don’t have any confirmation for.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 OG “Lemonade” will be released in the Fall of 2026.

If this mockup is even close to the final product, it signals a brighter, more playful direction than Balvin’s previous Jordan efforts. The soft lemon-toned upper immediately stands out. It’s bold without being loud, landing somewhere between pastel and neon depending on the lighting.

That choice alone gives the shoe a fresh energy that feels very on-brand for J Balvin, who has built his Jordan collaborations around optimism and self-expression rather than nostalgia alone. What’s interesting here is the balance.

The color does most of the talking, but the silhouette remains clean and classic. There’s no overdesigning or forced storytelling baked into the shape itself. Instead, the mockup lets the Air Jordan 4’s structure do what it’s always done well, while the palette pushes it somewhere new.

If this pair does release in 2026, it feels positioned less as a sequel and more as an evolution. It’s not trying to top past hits. It’s trying to shift the mood. Even in mockup form, the “Lemonade” Air Jordan 4 already feels like a warm-weather staple built for attention without chasing hype.

The sneaker features a soft yellow leather upper that gives the Air Jordan 4 a warm, almost pastel look. Matching mesh panels and plastic wings keep the color consistent across the shoe.

Speckled greenish accents appear along the midsole, adding subtle contrast without overpowering the base. The visible Air unit is lightly tinted, blending smoothly into the midsole design.

The outsole and heel details carry the same yellow tone for a cohesive finish. Everything feels clean and intentional. The shape stays true to the classic Jordan 4 silhouette.

Overall, the shoe looks bright, smooth, and wearable, with just enough texture and detail to keep it visually interesting. Also, the retail price of the J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 OG “Lemonade” will be $225 whent they drop.

That alone makes this first look feel different. From the jump, the Curry 13 looks like a culmination rather than a reset. Under Armour didn’t chase trends here. Instead, the design leans into the sculpted, fluid language that has defined the Curry line over the past few seasons.

The silhouette feels compact, aggressive, and purpose-built for movement, with a strong emphasis on lateral control and responsiveness. Colorways shown so far lean bold. Bright blues, vibrant pinks, energetic yellows, and fiery gradients give the shoe a loud presence without feeling forced. It’s confident in a way that mirrors Curry’s late-career phase.

Still expressive, still playful, but definitely high performance. There’s also something symbolic about how this shoe arrives. Curry changed Under Armour’s trajectory, turning it into a real player in basketball footwear. The Curry 13 feels like a final signature chapter that acknowledges that impact rather than trying to reinvent it.

Whether this truly ends the Curry signature line remains to be seen. But as a first look, the Curry 13 already feels like a statement. Not about innovation alone, but about legacy, consistency, and finishing strong.

The UA Curry 13 features a sleek, low-cut silhouette with smooth, flowing overlays across the midsole and sides. The upper appears lightweight and breathable, blending mesh panels with molded support elements.

Each colorway makes a strong visual statement, from solid monochrome finishes to gradient midsoles with speckled detailing. The sculpted sole looks responsive and agile, built for quick cuts and constant motion.

Subtle branding keeps the focus on the overall shape rather than loud logos. Pull tabs on the heel add function without clutter. The design feels modern, fast, and confident, clearly made for movement first. It looks like a shoe meant to stay low, reactive, and locked in at all times.
