During a recent interview with Power 106, Quavo announced that he has another solo project in the works, along with the other previously announced Migos-related projects.

“This album is just the beginning. This album just opening up the vault. We not finished. I got another album coming right after. I got the guys coming. Of course, we going to cook up the Migos project. And we working on Take project too,” he said.

Quavo Discusses Upcoming Releases

Quavo previously mentioned that he’s working on another Unc & Phew project that should be slated to drop at some point in 2027.

QHRÖMELIFE marked Quavo’s first solo project in three years following the release of Rocket Power in 2023. The album failed to make a splash in its first week, moving 13,000 album-equivalent units and debuting at 103 on the Billboard 200. In response to the backlash, he posted on X, “Yall got me fkd up watch dis!”

The album also marked the first time he and Offset were together on wax since Kanye West released “We Did It Kid” in 2022. Of course, the rift between Set and Quavo marked the decline of the Migos post-Culture III.

Quavo also announced that he and Offset were working together diligently for this upcoming Migos album. He said the project should be completed by the end of the year, with plans for a reunion tour afterward. 

We’ll keep you posted on any further updates on that. Check out the clip above and let us know how you feel about QHRÖMELIFE in the comments below.

Kill streaks like UAVs are replaced with snitches who spot enemies on the map. Meanwhile, air bombers are replaced with drive-by shootings. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come to the conclusion that this is being done in poor taste. The game is profiting off of real-life violence in Chicago, and is making a mockery of those who have died.

Even the vocal lines and gun names are played off as one big stereotype. It’s played off as one big joke, and while the game has gone viral, its popularity is for all the wrong reasons.

Hood Warfare 2 Is Just Racist

On social media, commenters immediately noted just how evil all of this is. The vocal lines received the most criticism, although there is no doubt that many take issue with the game’s premise.

Below, you can find a plethora of social media posts criticizing the game. Many noted that Trapstar Games isn’t even a black-led company. Instead, it is another example of white people mocking others for financial gain.

Social Media Reacts

There have been debates about games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto, and whether or not those games deserve the same criticism. For some, there is no difference between Hood Warfare 2 and GTA: San Andreas.

However, the tone of these two games is much different. San Andreas tells a complex story with complex characters. Rockstar Games hired voice actors from Los Angeles who could add real-world context to the story that was being told. Hood Warfare 2, on the other hand, doesn’t provide that same level of nuance. San Andreas was art. This new game is just mockery for mockery’s sake.

Let us know how you feel about all this in the comments below.

That said, there are still plenty of doubters and detractors out there. Some have accused her of being an industry plant. Others believe her rise was thanks to bots and label intervention. However, Doechii has remained steadfast in working on her craft and creating memorable art.

With the Swamp Sessions officially making a comeback, Doechii penned a letter to her fans on Monday, in which she revealed where she’s been ahead of her debut project. As she explains, she has become a student of the game and is looking to evolve hip-hop’s sound and history.

“I spent the last few years relearning Hip-Hop as a student,” Doechii revealed. “Studying it’s language, history & roots. Now I feel inspired to contribute to evolve it.”

Doechii Relearns Hip-Hop

Doechii went on to say that she is excited to showcase black womanhood in her art, and put it back at the forefront of hip-hop and pop. She is clearly very passionate about her next chapter, and that passion is contagious.

“A mission is brewing inside of me (a responsibility really) to see black womanhood exist at the center of Hip-Hop AND Pop,” Doechii continued.

As part of her first Swamp Sessions release, the artist dropped the song “Bombs,” which has received praise from her fanbase. Given her past releases, there is no doubt that Doechii has a track record of quality.

Her debut album is highly anticipated, and there is no reason to believe we will be disappointed.

“It got personal, but it wasn’t really personal. It was just like more of competition,” JÄY explained. “From my lens, I came out with Reasonable Doubt and [Steve Stoute] was in both of our ears.”

JÄY explained that Steve Stoute, whom he described as a “competitive chap,” was a mutual friend to him and Nas, who was supposed to feature on Reasonable Doubt. “He just never showed up to the studio,” Hov explained, adding that he didn’t take it personally but realized that he couldn’t rely on Nas. 

“We don’t have a problem. We’re never asking him for anything again. That’s the end of it. And then on his second album, he came out, and one of his lyrics was like–everyone knows I had the Lexus with the TV sets–and he goes, ‘Lex with TV sets the minimum, ill sex adrenaline,’” Hov recalled. “He was taking what I perceived to be shots. So that began, like, a cold war.”

JÄY-Z Reflects On Nas Beef

JÄY explained that it just escalated to a full-blown battle, emphasizing that no violence was ever involved. 

Without getting into further specifics of the subliminals and diss tracks they fired at each other afterward, Hov said they eventually “moved on” and are now “really good friends.”

“To his credit, he really rose to the occasion, I’ll say that. I don’t know how interested he was at being a recording artist at that time. Like, he would make an album or something, but he was just gone, would just disappear. And then after that, he was making music on a regular basis,” Hov continued.

He stopped short of giving himself credit for Nas’ run, but he felt as though their feud lit a fire in the Queensbridge artist. In the same breath, JÄY-Z gave Nas credit for sharpening his pen when he was at the height of his commercial career.

However, the social media star went viral thanks to her cameo on a Kick stream. SJC, otherwise known as Scuffed Jim Carrey, began taunting Bhad Bhabie on camera. Eventually, he said “Crash Me Outside,” which immediately went viral. However, Bhad Bhabie’s reaction made the clip what it is.

When she asked what SJC’s job was, he clapped back, saying he was Jim Carrey’s son. Bhad Bhabie was completely taken aback by this, as she couldn’t believe the son of a famous actor would stoop to these levels.

Later, Bhad Bhabie hopped on X, where she claimed that Le Vaughn was only arrested because he was woozy after hitting his head. She also made it clear that she was not in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

“My fiancé was in a car accident and ended up getting arrested because he hit his head and was slurring his speech and they thought that he was under the influence,” Bhad Bhabie wrote. “I was not in the car during the accident I pulled up to the scene after it happened then streamers came to stream the accident, not knowing that a celebrity was involved and once they realize it was me when I got out of the car to go up to my fiancé, they started rage beating me, and I gave them the show they were looking for I was not in the car and I’m not gonna keep repeating that I was not involved at all whatsoever in what my fiancé had going on with the car accident all I did was get woken up at 5:30 in the morning by my godmother telling me come on we gotta go LV was in a bad car accident. THATS ALL THATS IT!”

Needless to say, this has all been a stressful event for her and her family.

Is SJC Jim Carrey’s Son?

As for SJC…no, he is not Jim Carrey’s son. That is a complete lie that is used to gain clout on Kick. Jim Carrey has only one child, and she is his daughter.

This SJC character is yet another Kick grifter, doing whatever he can for a little bit of clout.

Weeks later, Cannon popped back up on Lil Wayne’s Instagram page. It was here that the legendary artist revealed that they were, in fact, engaged. This led to a lot of questions. After all, Cannon is considerably younger and does not have an established career like Wayne.

Regardless, the two appeared to be quite happy, and for fans, that’s what matters. Cannon had mostly remained quiet on social media in the aftermath of the announcement. That changed over the weekend, however, as Cannon actually revealed her engagement ring from Wayne.

Madi Cannon Reveals Ring From Lil Wayne

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

As you can probably imagine, the ring is massive, with a large yellow stone in the middle. At this time, it is unknown how much the ring cost. Although we’re sure Wayne could afford the three-month salary rule.

Lil Wayne has been engaged six times and was married once to Toya Johnson. The other engagements include Nivea, Trina, Dhea Sodano, La’Tecia Thomsa, and now, Madi Cannon.

Wayne’s relationship with Cannon has led to discourse and debate on social media. These debates mostly center around the age gap as well as Wayne’s recent dating history.

That said, Wayne and Cannon appear to be happy right now. As it stands, neither party has revealed a potential wedding date or whether plans are underway.

Over the weekend, these two got engaged. With Chrisean moving back into his home, Blueface decided to pop the question at the club. Whether or not this was for love or for content remains to be seen. After all, Chrisean has been great for Blue’s Kick empire.

To commemorate the engagement, Blueface decided to get a new tattoo. As you can see below, this tattoo is actually of Chrisean’s name, and it’s in big cursive letters along the top of his back. It’s a tattoo you surely cannot miss.

Blueface Takes Things A Step Further

Of course, when it comes to unsightly tattoos, Chrisean Rock wins that by a country mile. She has Blueface’s face tatted on her cheek. Despite attempts to remove it, it appears as though Chrisean will be keeping the tattoo until further notice.

At this rate, we doubt Blueface is going to call things off with Chrisean anytime soon. It might be cynical to say, but Blueface is making over $130K per week on Kick. Much of this is because Chrisean is on his streams. The antics are bringing in viewers, and unlike a show on Zeus Network, he gets to pocket all the money.

It’s proven to be a better revenue stream than music. That said, don’t expect any Blueface albums anytime soon.

According to Rocky on X, he announced five new tour dates across Australia and New Zealand. This will be the first time in eight years that he performs in these countries, and there is no doubt that fans are excited.

The first date is December 5 in Melbourne, while the final date will be December 17 in Perth. These five dates will take place in a 12-day span, and just like his other shows, they will take place in arenas.

A$AP Rocky Back On The Road

Rocky made it clear that pre-sale tickets will be available as of Wednesday, October 14. Meanwhile, the official on-sale date is Friday, October 16. For those who want to cop these tickets, you can do so on his website.

This announcement comes in the midst of Rocky teasing the release of DISC 2. Don’t Be Dumb dropped back in January, and since that time, some sort of deluxe has been on the horizon. However, just like the original album, Rocky has been kicking the can down the road, and no one knows when it will drop.

Either way, Rocky remains active on the road, and we’re looking forward to his next move. If you live in Australia and New Zealand, you can’t help but be excited by the prospect of some new Rocky shows.

Nike Basketball invited a group of creators and basketball figures to its Beaverton campus. Each guest got a chance to test the LeBron 24 before its launch. Some also took home a pair.

Overall, the look is simple. Black covers the entire shoe, which is common for weartest pairs. It does not preview any retail colorway. The details are still interesting. The upper uses a new material called KingKnit, made from three layers of Flyknit. Nike calls it the lightest LeBron yet.

The shoe also sits lower than recent LeBron models. Underneath, there is a ReactX midsole with Zoom Turbo and Zoom Air units. That is a big tech package for a shoe that is supposed to feel lighter. Of course, this pair will not come out. Samples like this are used for testing, and Nike keeps them small. The invite-only setup makes this one extra rare.

If one ever reaches the resale market, expect a very high price. Fans love anything tied to LeBron’s signature line.

Nike LeBron 24 “Black”

The LeBron 24 is a big moment for LeBron and Nike. It is his 24th signature shoe, and it arrives as he starts a new chapter with the 76ers.

We have already seen retail pairs. LeBron debuted the Nike LeBron 24 “Greater China” at the Sixers’ open scrimmage earlier this month. It is a cream-colored pair with cloud embroidery and red laces.

That pair is much louder than this sample. Together, they show how wide the LeBron 24 lineup could be. Nike is balancing bold regional designs with simple performance looks.

Weartest samples also show how much feedback Nike gathers. Creators, athletes, and testers all play a role. By the time a retail pair hits shelves, it has been through a lot.

For now, the all-black sample remains a collector’s dream. Overall keep watching for more LeBron news.

Hunt Auctions announced the deal on Monday. It was a private sale, which means the buyer and seller negotiated the price directly.

The jersey is the red Bulls road uniform from Game 2 of the Finals against the Utah Jazz. Jordan wore it on June 5, 1998, in Salt Lake City. He also signed it.

That night also mattered and it was when the Bulls had lost Game 1, and Jordan scored 37 points to even the series. Chicago won the game 93 to 88.

The jersey was also photo-matched to the game by MeiGray and SIA PhotoMatch. That kind of proof is huge for collectors. The buyer is collector Ron Firman of Rye, New York. In a statement, he said he is very excited about the purchase.

The price sets a new record for basketball memorabilia. Among game-worn jerseys from any sport, it ranks second. Only Babe Ruth’s “called shot” jersey sold for more, at $24 million in 2024.

Overall, it is a huge number. Jordan jerseys from the 1998 Finals are considered some of the rarest pieces in the hobby.

Michael Jordan’s Game-Worn Jersey

This is not the first time a 1998 Finals jersey has made headlines. A Game 1 jersey sold for $10.1 million at Sotheby’s in 2022. At the time, that was a record for any game-worn item in sports.

A Game 3 home jersey later pushed the basketball record to $12.26 million. Now Game 2 has topped them both.

The market for Jordan items keeps climbing. His earliest known game-worn sneakers sold for $1.5 million at Sotheby’s in 2021, which was a record for kicks at the time.

As for the shoes from that Finals, Jordan closed out the series in the Air Jordan 14. It became the last shoe he wore as a Bull. That is a big reason the model still has such a strong legacy. It is a sign of how much value this era carries. Fans still love The Last Dance, and collectors keep paying historic prices.
