Quotable Lyrics from Juicy

You say you’re serious ’bout your money, don’t you lose this dime
Even if I am not the one, you found the prototype
You know I like the way you think, the way you use your mind
Well, baby, if you’re so smart, then can you pass the test of time?

Despite expectations for it to be out last year, the movie isn’t complete, according to The Ankler. It also isn’t shelved, as some might expect after numerous delays and few updates, especially as reports claim that Paramount committed upward of $100 million to the project. In 2024, Brian Robbins, the former head of Paramount Pictures, described the movie as “one of the funniest and most original scripts we’ve ever read.”

The movie was due out in theatres in July 2025 but then got pushed back in March of that year ahead of the Paramount-Skydance merger. But by November 2025, the March 2026 release date was removed from the release schedule entirely. While people might be quick to blame Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free, both of whom serve as producers on the film, Matt Stone and Trey Parker said they are to blame for the delay.

South Park Creators Issue Statement

“We take full responsibility for the schedule delay of this movie,” Stone and Parker said in a statement to The Ankler. “We apologize to our partners at pgLang and Paramount, and we appreciate their patience. South Park and life’s circumstances have gotten in the way, but we still believe in the project.”

The movie centers on a young Black reenactor who works at a historical slave plantation museum in the Midwest and eventually has issues with tourists who visit, along with the town’s racist mayor, who is played by Parker and was described as “the epitome of the Republican Party,” by a source. The film reportedly includes unreleased music from Kendrick Lamar.

In the afternoon, the jury asked for digitized evidence. This can be a lengthy process, and the judge made it clear that the materials would only be available by this morning. As of 11:30 AM EST, the jury will continue its deliberations as the trial remains on verdict watch.

Lil Durk’s emotions during the trial have been documented extensively by those sitting inside the courtroom. One court reporter, Michael Blackshire, revealed on Wednesday that Durk and his co-defendants showcased a unified front amid the deliberations.

Durk, OTF Dede, and David Lindsey, otherwise known as Browneyez, all wore blue suits in the courtroom. While it is unclear if this was on purpose, it just shows that they are in this together as their fates are determined by a jury of their peers.

Lil Durk, OTF Dede, And Browneyez In Court

Yesterday’s court proceedings were certainly interesting when you consider how Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald mentioned DJ Akademiks’ involvement in the case. Akademiks’ interview with Lil Durk is being used as evidence. Ak is not a witness in the case, and the Judge understands why the hip-hop commentator is upset about being lumped into the prosecution’s arguments.

With jury deliberations continuing in Los Angeles as of 8:30 AM local time, we are officially back on verdict watch. There is no guarantee that a decision is reached today, although we will be following the situation closely.

Stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates on Lil Durk’s case, and other news from around the hip-hop world.

Overall, this case could very well wrap up today. If the jury comes to a verdict, then that will be the end of it. However, there are other storylines taking place within the trial that have captured the public’s attention.

For instance, during closing arguments on Tuesday, DJ Akademiks was mentioned on numerous occasions. His “Off The Record” interview with Lil Durk was a major point of contention. In fact, prosecutors said that it was evidence of Lil Durk admitting to a murder.

With the jury mentioning the interview in their notes on Wednesday, the judge offered some sympathy for Akademiks, who is not a witness and was never asked to testify. As Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald explains, Ak has every right to be upset with this process.

“I understand why DJ Akademiks is furious with this. He was not a witness,” the judge stated.

Lil Durk Verdict Delayed By A Day

DJ Akademiks has been the subject of scrutiny over the last 24 hours or so, as some believe that he could be the reason why Lil Durk gets life in prison. Some have even likened Ak to VladTV given the nature of his interview with Durk.

Ultimately, the admissibility of Ak’s interview with the artist is still being questioned, and it appears as though the jurors aren’t all the way convinced about the relevance.

Jury deliberations will continue this morning as of 8:30 AM PST, which translates to 11:30 for those living on the East Coast. Stay tuned for updates, as we will be sure to bring them to you.

The collection leans hard into hometown pride across multiple caps. One standout blends pinstripes, script lettering, and a mix of Braves branding into a single mashup design. Navy, red, white, and light blue panels all get worked into that build.

A second cap goes fully iced out, covered in crystal detailing across a black and red colorway. Falcons and Braves logos both show up throughout the collection. That combination reflects Quavo’s long-running connection to Atlanta sports overall.

A third piece nods to old-school “ATL” trucker cap style, done in red, white, and gold. It’s a more stripped-back look compared to the flashier pieces in the pack. Together, the range spans both loud and subtle takes on representing the city.

Quavo’s relationship with Lids goes back to 2019. Since then, he’s released Braves collaborations, a University of Georgia collection, and now this more meaningful Atlanta-focused pack.

Quavo x Lids “Atlanta” Pack

Quavo has been open about his love for fitted caps since childhood. He’s said that growing up waiting for hat releases as a big part of what drew him to this partnership. That personal connection has shaped nearly every collection he’s put out with Lids so far.

Past projects have leaned on specific moments in Atlanta sports history. The Braves’ 1995 World Series win became the centerpiece of an earlier collaboration. This new pack looks to be taking a broader approach, pulling from multiple teams instead of just one moment.

Lids has described Quavo as a key voice in blending music, fashion, and sports together. That mix has defined his output with the brand from the start. This latest pack continues building on that same foundation.

Overall given how quickly his past Lids drops have moved, expect this one to sell out fast once it goes live. Quavo and Atlanta bring die-hard fans, and these hats will likely be a hot commodity.

According to Michael Blackshire, the jury asked the court for digital evidence from the case. This process is simply going to take too long, which means the jury will be deliberating well into tomorrow.

Durk is currently facing five charges right now and they all pertain to his murder for hire allegations. The rapper stands accused of orchestrating the murder of Lul Pab. The target of the alleged hit was supposed to be Quando Rondo.

Individuals such as OTF Jam, OTF Vonni, and Flacka were all witnesses for the prosecution, and testified against Durk.

Lil Durk Verdict Is Not Official

If convicted on the murder for hire charges, Durk could face life in prison. Furthermore, he is expected to be tried on racketeering charges at a later date. Needless to say, this case remains a matter of life and death for the artist.

The jury is reportedly set to be back in action as of tomorrow at 8:30 AM. It is expected that the jury will come to a verdict by then, although there is no telling if that will be the case.

This remains one of the most high profile cases in the rap world right now. Durk is one of the most popular contemporary artists, and his arrest in 2024 left many stunned.

Bryan alleges that the assault took place at a club in May of 1999 while N.O.R.E. was celebrating the release of Melvin Flynt – Da Hustler. The woman alleges that N.O.R.E., real name Victor Santiago, approached her and “committed an act of nonconsensual digital penetration.” She also alleges that Santiago was intoxicated at the time of the act.

Bryan went on to say that N.O.R.E. allegedly overpowered her, and that he only stopped when other people at the club pulled him off her.

“Santiago’s conduct constituted nonconsensual sexual contact, offensive touching, assault, battery, sexual assault, and gender-motivated violence,” the lawsuit says.

N.O.R.E. Accused Of Sexual Assault

Later in the lawsuit, it was alleged that N.O.R.E. apologized to Bryan when he realized that she was Nas’ partner and mother of his child. Bryan says this doesn’t excuse what N.O.R.E. allegedly did to her.

“No woman signs up to be assaulted. The assertion that an assault is excusable—or simply did not happen—because a perpetrator failed to recognize his victim strips women of their fundamental humanity,” Bryan’s attorney Marjorie Mesidor told Rolling Stone. Ms. Bryan is coming forward not only to demand accountability for the lasting trauma and public humiliation inflicted upon her, but to challenge the culture of entitlement that treats women’s bodies as collateral damage.”

Bryan later told Jay-Z about the situation. She says Hov wanted to confront N.O.R.E. about the situation, but she ultimately told him not to.

N.O.R.E. has not offered a statement in regards to this story, despite Rolling Stone’s attempts to get in touch.
