On Wednesday night, that was especially true as he commented on the Lil Durk trial. It was here that he made some disrespectful comments about the death of FBG Duck. Wack has had issues with Momma Duck, LaSheena Weekly, and he highlighted those problems during last night’s Akademiks stream.

Akademiks got Momma Duck on the phone to squash the beef, although things immediately went left. Wack 100 screamed at Weekly, claiming that her parenting led to the death of her child. This subsequently turned into a five-minute screaming match.

Wack 100 & Momma Duck On Stream

During the stream, both sides made some incredibly disrespectful and unfortunate comments about the other. Context from the lead-up to the confrontation shows Wack 100 egging on the situation. He continued to make light of FBG Duck’s death and had nothing but bad things to say about Weekly before she hopped on the call.

Akademiks attempted to mediate the situation and let both parties resolve their tension, but it did not work. Realistically, Ak could have just kicked both parties from the call, but instead, he let them continue on with their unproductive conversation.

This is all happening as Lil Durk faces life in prison for an alleged murder-for-hire plot. The trial is expected to wrap up early next week. Over the past few days, we have heard testimony from OTF Jam, OTF Vonni, and Flacka.

Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates.

On Wednesday, the judge read a note from the clerk that stated how jurors have asked more than once about when this trial will end. Simply put, they’ve had enough, and they just want the process to end.

This subsequently led to a concrete response from the judge, who said deliberations are expected to begin on either Tuesday or Wednesday. The prosecution only has two more witnesses, and the defense expects to be done with its cross-examinations by Friday. Monday is a Holiday for Labor Day, which means Tuesday is when we could hear closing arguments.

The Judge subsequently remarked that the jurors appear to be in a better mood now that they see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Lil Durk Trial Continues

Overall, this is an extremely important case for Lil Durk. He stands accused of a murder-for-hire plot against Quando Rondo. This alleged plot led to the death of Lul Pab. If convicted, Durk faces life in prison.

Throughout the past week, OTF Vonni, OTF Jam, and Flacka have all testified against Durk. They have pointed to group chat text messages, claiming Durk was demanding that they get revenge for the death of King Von.

Vonni, Flacka, and Jam’s time on the stand has come to a close. Drew Findling and Brian Steel have completed cross-examinations of the three individuals and are expected to continue their active role in the case over the coming days.

As this trial comes to a close, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates.

At the center of that story sits an unlikely friendship with Michael Jordan that changed the trajectory of Fat Joe’s entire sneaker career.

Fat Joe’s Sneaker Roots

Long before any brand came knocking, Fat Joe was a true collector. His MTV Cribs appearance captured that perfectly.

While most rappers showed off marble countertops and Ferraris, Fat Joe went straight to his sneaker collection and licked the sole of a pair of Olympic Air Jordan 7s on camera. It wasn’t a stunt. It was just who he was.

His collection has been documented on Bobbito Garcia’s show It’s The Shoes, on MTV, and across every era of his career. The Bronx has always been Air Force 1 territory, and Fat Joe was one of its most devoted ambassadors long before Nike ever gave him a box to open.

The Jordan Collab That Never Happened

Few people know that Fat Joe was supposed to make history with Jordan Brand before any rapper officially did. In an interview with Lord Sear on SiriusXM, Joe revealed he met with Michael Jordan 6 times to design a shoe together.

The design process was moving forward. Then his high-profile beef with 50 Cent got in the way. Jordan Brand pulled back, and the collab never happened. Joe has described it as one of the great missed opportunities of his career.

Looking back, it’s a true what-if moment in sneaker history. A Fat Joe x Jordan Brand shoe would have predated every artist collaboration the brand has ever done.

Terror Squad Air Force 1 Origin Story

In the early 2000s, Nike began producing friends-and-family Terror Squad Air Force 1s for Fat Joe and his crew. They were never meant for public release. Then an angry former team member leaked pairs into the market.

From that point forward, the Terror Squad AF1s became some of the most sought-after sneakers in hip-hop history. People talked about them for years without ever being able to get their hands on a pair.

Before his passing, Virgil Abloh reached out to Fat Joe with the idea of doing an Off-White x Terror Squad AF1 collaboration. That conversation ultimately led Nike to bring the Terror Squad pairs to retail for the first time in 2023. Fat Joe has called them “the greatest story never told.”

How Michael Jordan Changed Everything For Fat Joe

When Fat Joe decided to open his own sneaker store, Up NYC, he hit an immediate wall. He went to a Nike contact and announced his plans. The contact told him he needed to be vetted and sanctioned before Nike would allow him to carry their product. Joe assumed his long relationship with the brand would be enough.

That same night, Michael Jordan happened to be hosting a party in New York for Neymar Jr. Fat Joe showed up, and out of nowhere heard a booming voice across the room. It was Jordan, calling his name and announcing publicly that he’d be at the Up NYC grand opening. The Nike and Jordan Brand executives in that room immediately changed their tone. Jordan’s public co-sign was all it took to unlock the doors that had been closed.

Up NYC And What Came After

Jordan’s co-sign turned Up NYC into one of the most credible sneaker boutiques in New York almost overnight. The store became one of a handful of boutiques to receive every Jordan Brand exclusive release.

Fat Joe built it into a real destination for collectors and hip-hop figures too. The friendship between Joe and Jordan has never stopped showing up publicly either. In March 2026, Fat Joe and Jadakiss visited Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing team at the Straight Talk Wireless 500, with Fat Joe wearing a China-exclusive Air Jordan 11 on foot.

The relationship that started over a shared love of sneakers has quietly become one of the most enduring cross-cultural friendships in sports and hip-hop history.

The Terror Squad AF1 In 2026

The latest chapter of the Terror Squad Air Force 1 story is almost here. The “University Red” colorway drops September 9th, 2026, after Fat Joe first teased it at the 2023 BET Awards.

Sneakerheads have been waiting nearly three years for this one. It follows the two Terror Squad AF1 colorways that already released in 2023, both of which sold out. The demand was always there, but Nike and Fat Joe just took their time building the rollout right.

The shoe itself stays true to the Air Force 1 formula without overcomplicating anything. A clean white leather base sits underneath vibrant university red overlays, giving it a bold but wearable color blocking. “TS” embroidery hits the lateral heel as a direct nod to the crew, while “JC” stitched on the heel tab references Fat Joe’s longtime nickname Joey Crack.

An alternate set of red laces gives the wearer the option to go all red or keep the contrast. The midsole runs white with red outsole detailing underneath to complete the look. It retails for $150 and drops via Nike SNKRS and select retailers on September 9.

Fat Joe presented the shoe to the public alongside his daughter Azaryah, giving the release a personal touch that fits the whole story perfectly. This wasn’t a corporate rollout. It felt like a family moment, which is exactly what Terror Squad has always been about.

What started as a Bronx friends-and-family exclusive 20 years ago is finally available to everyone.

That includes Social Status, A Ma Maniere, and APB Store. The style code is IW1882-300. This marks the first time the Air Jordan 11 has an official outside collaborator.

The Air Jordan 11 launched back in 1995 without ever leaving Jordan Brand’s hands. JAIDE, APB, and Comme des Garcons all raced to be first. JAIDE ultimately crossed the finish line ahead of the others.

The colorway leans into a soft green shade called Fiberglass. That name ties directly back to the stone JAIDE was named after. Patent leather still covers the toebox, keeping that classic Air Jordan 11 shape intact.

Pebbled leather covers the tongue and side panels instead. A translucent icy outsole carries the same green tone throughout. Co-branded heel tabs mark this as something different from a standard 11 Low.

Hype has been building steadily since early previews first surfaced. Sneaker circles have tracked this release for months now. With a confirmed date finally locked in, that anticipation only keeps climbing.

JAIDE is The Whitaker Group’s women-focused concept shop. It opened with locations in Atlanta and Charlotte not long ago. This release marks JAIDE’s very first project with Jordan Brand directly.

James Whitner has built The Whitaker Group into a major player across sneaker retail. A Ma Maniere and Social Status both carry serious weight within that world already. Adding JAIDE into the Air Jordan 11 conversation extends that reach even further.

Whitner has described this project as women-led from the start. That connects back to storytelling A Ma Maniere has leaned on for past Jordan projects. It’s a theme that’s clearly shaping JAIDE’s identity too.

Getting first crack at an Air Jordan 11 collab is a big deal. For 30 years, that silhouette stayed untouched by outside partners.

This is a baseball cleat, not a basketball shoe. The style code is HM7326-001. Jordan Brand lists the colorway as Black/Anthracite-Metallic Gold officially.

Black patent leather wraps the mudguard from heel to toe. The tongue, rope laces, and collar lining all stay black too. It’s a much darker take than a typical Air Jordan 11 release. Metallic gold hits come through the Jumpman logos on the ankle and tongue. Matching gold accents show up on the heel as well. That’s the only real break from the all-black build.

Instead of a traditional outsole, this version uses a molded cleat plate. Studs sit at the forefoot and heel for traction on the field. The classic Air Jordan 11 shape stays intact everywhere else.

Jordan Brand’s baseball presence has grown fast in recent seasons. These cleats fit right into that expanding lineup.

Air Jordan 11 MCS “Black/Metallic Gold”

The black and gold combo isn’t random. It resembles the Air Jordan 6/11 “Defining Moments Pack” from 2006. That release paired a black-and-gold Jordan 6 with a white-based Jordan 11. It’s arguably one of the most iconic colorway packs of all time.

This MCS version actually leans closer to the AJ6 half of that pack. The all-black base with gold accents matches that shoe’s look more than the original white AJ11. It’s a subtle callback rather than a direct remake, but those who know will appreciate it.

Baseball cleats built off basketball silhouettes have become a real category lately. Jordan Brand keeps signing top players across contending MLB rosters. Cleats like this one are part of that bigger push on the field.

For collectors, the appeal here goes beyond just wearing them to play. The all-black colorway reads more like a lifestyle drop than pure gear. That crossover appeal tends to matter just as much as function.

“It was pretty evident that this was not just a random road rage or robbery attempt,” Barnes testified during Kewon White’s murder trial, according to AllHipHop. He said the evidence convinced investigators that whoever was following Mo3 had waited for him to leave the apartment and intended to kill him. Surveillance later captured a gunman chasing the rapper down I-35 with an assault-style rifle after Mo3 abandoned his vehicle in traffic.

What Investigators Believe Led Up To Mo3’s Murder

Barnes said investigators learned that Mo3, whose legal name was Melvin Noble, had returned to Dallas from California on Nov. 10 and spent the night with Jocelyn Jackson at an apartment complex in Oak Cliff. The Camaro allegedly arrived there and remained until Mo3 left the following day. Additional surveillance introduced during the trial has become central to prosecutors’ effort to identify White as the man who tracked him from the complex. NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth reports that jurors have heard from apartment residents and law enforcement while reviewing video evidence tied to the hours before the shooting.

The detective also described how quickly investigators considered the possibility of retaliation. Barnes already knew Mo3 as both a prominent Dallas rapper and someone whose name had surfaced in investigations involving violence between local artists. He testified that Mo3 had ongoing problems with Yella Beezy and Trapboy Freddy. After arriving at the hospital, Barnes instructed staff not to immediately announce Mo3’s death because he feared additional violence could follow. Investigators later determined that Beezy was in California when the shooting occurred and that Freddy was caught in traffic behind the crime scene, shifting the focus toward the people prosecutors now accuse of carrying out the alleged murder-for-hire plot.

White is the first defendant to face a jury in Mo3’s killing. Prosecutors accuse him of being the gunman who followed the rapper from the apartment before chasing him onto the interstate and opening fire. Devin Brown is separately accused of helping coordinate the attack, while Yella Beezy has been charged with capital murder over allegations that he financed it. All three have pleaded not guilty.

Additionally, White is already serving a federal prison sentence unrelated to Mo3’s death. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas said he received 105 months in 2022 after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. His current trial will determine whether prosecutors can convince a Dallas jury that the 18-hour wait outside that apartment ended with White carrying out the killing they say had been planned before Mo3 ever pulled onto the highway.

Some of the names carry obvious significance in the murder-for-hire case now before the jury. Quando Rondo is the alleged target of the August 2022 Los Angeles shooting that killed his cousin Saviay’a Robinson, also known as Lul Pab. Prosecutors contend that the attack was retaliation for the 2020 killing of King Von, who was fatally shot after a fight involving Quando outside an Atlanta nightclub. Durk has pleaded not guilty and denied ordering the hit. The government has spent much of the trial introducing messages and social media evidence it says help establish his anger following Von’s death.

The Legal Drama With Witherspoon

Alexander Witherspoon brings a different piece of Durk’s past into the same message. Witherspoon was shot outside The Varsity in Atlanta in 2019 during an incident that led to attempted murder charges against Durk and King Von. Prosecutors initially alleged the two rappers were involved in robbing and shooting him, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. The case against Durk was ultimately dropped in 2022, with his attorney saying there was insufficient evidence to continue the prosecution, per Revolt.

Meanwhile, online reactions to Durk’s alleged list quickly held on “Trina,” with some users assuming Durk meant Miami Rap veteran Trina. The courtroom updates available so far do not establish who that reference was actually about, making the memes considerably more certain than the evidence. The same caution applies to several of the other nicknames unless prosecutors identify them more clearly during testimony.

Durk’s defense has consistently argued that prosecutors are assigning criminal meaning to communications and music that do not establish he orchestrated Robinson’s killing. The jury will ultimately have to decide how much weight to give this newly public message alongside the rest of the government’s case.
