Quotable Lyrics from I Will

Double cup filled up I’m missing a tech, go live on a Wednesday
You got a friend and I got a twin, girl go see what your friends say
She a 10 we fuck off the perk 10’s, let’s see what them drugs do
Put ya neckand ya wrist on a hundred bands, shit I’d be in love too

Ultimately, it is a friendship that has endured. Throughout the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, the former lost out on his friendship with LeBron James. James was at Lamar’s “Pop Out,” and he had also rapped along to “Not Like Us” on more than one occasion. However, Durant has remained steadfast in his support of the ICEMAN artist.

Of course, ICEMAN is dropping later this week, on May 15. Fans are extremely excited about this new album, and Durant’s personal jubilation is palpable. In fact, on social media, KD couldn’t help but poke a little bit of fun at none other than Joe Budden while hyping up the album.

Kevin Durant Is Excited For ICEMAN

In the Instagram story depicted above, you can see a frame of Joe Budden from his infamous altercation with a group of young Drake fans. Budden chased the kids down with a rock in his hand. In this photo, Budden can be seen holding a big block of ice instead. The caption on the story simply says, “Ice week.”

For fans of Drake, this is an album two-and-a-half years in the making. This is the amount of time that has passed since the release of the artist’s last solo album, For All The Dogs. Furthermore, this is the artist’s first solo project since his beef with Kendrick Lamar. Having said that, there is a ton of pressure on Drake to perform with this project.

There is this hope that Drizzy can catch a few hits and find himself back on top of the Billboard charts. It is a tough road to climb, given everything that has happened over the past couple of years. That said, if one thing is for certain, it is that ICEMAN will dominate discourse.

Per Billboard, 50 Cent will return to his stomping grounds of New York City alongside Diplo at Cipriani Wall Street on July 18th. Meanwhile, Nelly will be kicking off the series at the Hollywood Palladium on June 12th with a special guest who has yet to be announced.

“SI has firmly established itself as the place to be on sports’ biggest weekends,” Matt Goldstein, EVP of Authentic Live, said in a statement. “Whether it’s Travis Kelce and Justin Bieber or the next generation of athletes and icons, the guest list reads like a who’s who of sports and culture. That’s what we build toward every time.”

Whenever Carti takes to the stage at Rolling Loud, you know it is going to be special. In the end, he came through with a long setlist, which mostly involved songs off albums like MUSIC and Whole Lotta Red. For longtime fans, it was fun to watch him perform and play some of his biggest hits.

Having said that, there is now some controversy going around as it pertains to Carti. According to Kurrco, Carti’s security is being accused of smashing a photographer’s camera. As you can see in the video below, the camera gets smashed, with the photographer on the ground. It is being said that Carti was trying to leave the festival’s grounds when this took place.

Playboi Carti At Rolling Loud

Fans on social media were quick to criticize Carti and his security for their alleged misdeeds in this situation. There was a sense among fans that this was simply not cool, especially when you consider how expensive cameras can be.

For photographers, their equipment is their livelihood. Without a camera, they can’t do their job and feed themselves. It’s a harsh reality, albeit one that many creatives find themselves grappling with every single day.

At this time, Carti has not responded to the allegations involving his security. However, there is no doubt that this story has begun to gain traction on social media.

This is a developing story that we will be sure to keep track of.

Of course, the night included some special and surprise guests. The Rock showed up to cap off the evening. Although the size difference between the two was practically enough to set off some chuckles, The Rock’s comedic chops ultimately proved to be incredibly absurd yet undoubtedly hilarious. And when I say absurd, I mean The Rock demanded that Hart “get down here and suck on this t*t.” 

Outside of The Rock, though, the most surprising appearance of the night came from Kevin Hart’s sworn enemy, Katt Williams. Their long-standing feud undoubtedly took over people’s timelines because, why the f*ck did Netflix invite Katt? But as Williams explained, “That’s how little star power you have, they had to start inviting your enemy.”

“I said, ‘I hate him.’ They said, ‘Come anyway,” Katt quipped, before delving into some jokes about Diddy parties and more.

The Roast Of Kevin Hart Takes Over The Timeline

The reactions were plentiful, as you could imagine. Meek Mill, who closed out the evening with a fiery performance of “Dreams & Nightmares,” wrote, “S/o to Kevin hart and Netflix that roast was toxic as shit .” 

Another user wrote, “Katt left that building hating him even more ”

Someone else wrote, “I could never be a part of a roast. I’d be ready to fight 2 minutes in #KevinHartRoast.”

There has been lots of speculation about who Drake might be aiming at on this new album. After all, he got dissed from all directions back in 2024. Numerous artists could wind up catching some bars from the Canadian megastar.

According to Charlamagne Tha God, there are two names, in particular, who need to watch out. Those artists are A$AP Rocky and DJ Khaled. During this morning’s episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne made the claim that both Rocky and Khaled are taking direct shots on the album.

“Khaled you need to be on edge too, you and A$AP Rocky, y’all getting direct shots on the project,” Charlamagne said. “Khaled, you might’ve wanted to keep some of that weight on.”

Charlamagne Tha God Leaks ICEMAN Details

Charlamagne did not specify where he heard this information. However, he claims to have an inside source who knows some significant details about the album. For instance, he claims that the recent CN Tower music video shoots are part of a pre-recorded livestream for ICEMAN Episode 4.

Interestingly, Charlamagne also made the claim that Karol G will be featured on ICEMAN. The radio personality says Reggaeton will be a recurring theme on ICEMAN. This is certainly news to us and the rest of Drake’s fanbase. Whether or not Charlamagne has been fed accurate information is something that still very much remains to be seen.

Over the next few days, it is expected that Drake will start to post more and offer up some details on his album. This means covert art, features, and perhaps even a tracklist will be revealed. The fans have waited a long time for this, and they are hoping to savor the moment.

As many remarked, the comedians got as offensive as possible during the roast. Some felt as though the jokes were completely tasteless. Meanwhile, some of the white comedians used this as an opportunity to be as racist as they could be, without any consequences.

When it came to Davidson, he used his set to call out some of the more controversial attendees. For instance, he invoked Charlie Kirk while discussing Tony Hinchcliffe. You can probably deduce the implications there.

“Tony Hinchcliffe is here, looking like both a child molester and the doll they give the child to show where he touched them,” Davidson said. “Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.”

Subsequently, he went on to call Kanye West a “gay Nazi,” noting that Hinchcliffe and Ye have something in common with one another. It is a joke that got quite a few laughs, including from Hinchcliffe himself.

“Tony, nothing you say tonight will hurt my feelings,” Davidson continued. “I was in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from better gay Nazis.”

Beyond Pete Davidson, The Roast of Kevin Hart had some big moments. For instance, Katt Williams came out. Williams and Hart squashed their beef with one another, and it made for a sweet moment. Of course, Williams couldn’t resist and made some Diddy jokes at Hart’s expense.

For the most part, it was the exact kind of show that fans were expecting. Netflix now has The Roast of Tom Brady and The Roast of Kevin Hart under its belt. Going forward, it will be fascinating to see who else gets the roast treatment.

Last year, Big Bank had a monumental sit-down with Young Thug, in which they discussed everything. From Gunna to voicemails to snitching allegations, the two talked about it all. However, 6ix9ine has maintained criticism of both Thugger and Big Bank, claiming the snitching allegations were mostly swept under the rug.

6ix9ine has always been a tad insecure about the “snitch” label. He feels as though other artists don’t get it as badly as he does. This extends to Young Thug, and he let those feelings be known as he finally sat down with Big Bank over the weekend.

Below, you can find a clip from the interview in which 6ix9ine presses Big Bank on these grounds. He eventually asks why the snitching label is assigned to him specifically, and not others. This subsequently led to a theory from Big Bank that Tekashi simply wasn’t willing to accept.

6ix9ine & Big Bank Have A Conversation

Big Bank notes that the optics were bad for 6ix9ine, as it was a Spanish individual putting multiple black men in jail for many years. At the end of the day, that comes across as a bad look for 6ix9ine.

6ix9ine came back with a retort, invoking the deaths of artists like Nipsey Hussle, King Von, PnB Rock, Pop Smoke, and others.

Yesterday, we reported that 6ix9ine admitted to paying Big Bank to interview him. If you notice, 6ix9ine even has his very own studio now. There is a laughably shallow pool, as well as a massive screen with the words “Fax TV” pulsating at you like a poorly done 3D rendering intro from a 2015 prank video on YouTube.

It seems like 6ix9ine is looking to start up some sort of show. He has ventured into the streaming world, so this seems like the natural progression of things.

The timing makes sense. Harden wore these the day before Mother’s Day and the soft pink colorway reads as a deliberate nod to the occasion. Adidas has done “Pink Lemonade” colorways in Harden’s line before, dating back to the Vol. 4 in 2019. This Vol. 10 version brings that name back on a very different shoe.

The Harden Vol. 10 is one of the more futuristic-looking basketball shoes on the market right now. The sculpted foam shell wraps the shoe in a way that reads almost alien on the court.

In pink, with a metallic shine, it reads even louder. Yellow lace aglets pop against the soft pink base while black three stripes on the side keep the Adidas identity intact.

Harden scored 19 points in 40 minutes in the loss. The Cavs now face a 2-1 deficit heading into Game 4 today. The shoes did their job visually. The result wasn’t what Cleveland needed.

Whether the “Pink Lemonade” Vol. 10 gets a retail release hasn’t been confirmed yet. But given Harden’s playoff spotlight, the demand will be there.

Adidas Harden Vol. 10 “Pink Lemonade”

The Adidas Harden Vol. 10 features a molded foam upper with sculpted ridges wrapping the front with a design look that’s become a signature of the series over the last few volumes. The “Pink Lemonade” colorway runs the entire upper in a soft metallic pink that shimmers under arena lighting.

Black three stripes hit the lateral side for brand contrast, and yellow lace aglets add the citrus detail that justifies the colorway name. The outsole matches the pink palette underfoot. It’s a bold shoe even by Harden’s standards.

The Vol. 10 has become one of the most PE-friendly basketball shoes of the 2025-26 season, appearing on multiple players across the league in various exclusive colorways.

Overall, there has been a lengthy conversation about whether or not people like N3on should be on the list. The same can be said of Kai Cenat, who has not streamed in months. Real hip-hop journalists like Rob Markman were ranked 35th, while Wayno wasn’t on the list at all.

There were some huge omissions, and Charlamagne couldn’t help but notice this. During a conversation with Breakfast Club co-host Loren Lorosa, Charlamagne explained how he believes Rob Markman and Wayno deserved much higher placements. Lorosa echoed those sentiments, noting that whenever she needs context on a story, she goes to Markman and Wayno. Their historical knowledge is second to none.

Charlamagne Tha God Advocates For Rob Markman

As for Charlamagne, he believes Markman and Wayno actually know what they are talking about. The media space can be full of talking heads with zero context for what they are saying. Markman and Wayno break that mold and offer commentary that is always reasonable and well-researched.

“Rob [Markman] should be way higher on this mf list,” Charlamagne exclaimed. “Guys like Rob & guys like Wayno, they offer a lot in regards to actual hip hop commentary and they correct the record on a lot of people who don’t know what tf they talking about.”

The Complex list has certainly done its job from a discourse standpoint. It has started a larger conversation about the role of hip-hop media, and who actually does the legwork.

Of course, putting DJ Akademiks at number one is going to generate discussion. He is a polarizing figure who, at times, ventures into shock jock territory. Putting him at number one on this list is like calling Howard Stern the best radio personality. No matter what, Complex got exactly what it wanted.
