Instead, Adam is currently reflecting on everything he did wrong. If one thing appears certain, it is that he would like to get back with Lena and figure this out sooner rather than later.

However, there is one thing that has Adam22 feeling pretty ill these days. If you remember, when Lena The Plug did Drake’s 20v1, she tossed her wedding ring upon seeing the artist. As Adam tells Lee, seeing this definitely hurt and it took place when the two were already fighting.

Adam22 Gets Brutally Honest

“I took it on the chin ‘cuz my attitude was like she’s going to do viral shit to make this go viral. I think she did a great job. She got a big OnlyFans boost from it,” Adam22 said. “But yeah, when I saw that, I was kind of like… feels like she might be kind of… cuz we’re already fighting before that, bro. I’m like, yeah, that does feel like something that you probably wouldn’t do if you were really concerned. I think she was mad enough at me at that point that she wasn’t really going to pull any punches, you know?”

At this time, it is unknown if Adam and Lena will get back together, although based on his interview, the chances do seem pretty high. They do have a child together, and the feelings are all there.

That said, these 20v1s certainly don’t help the jealousy.

It is the harsh reality, but we are already starting to see that reality play out as fewer artists are dropping albums each week. Case in point, only a few projects are dropping tonight. We are getting a new Leon Bridges album, Happiness Anytime, as well as Tinashe’s Popstar. Meanwhile, Tee Grizzley is dropping They Forgot.

There will also be some singles from Che & Tezzus, 2hollis, slayr, and even G-Eazy and Ty Dolla $ign. However, in terms of major hip-hop releases, you may find yourself just slightly disappointed.

However, it wasn’t always like this for Druski. His come-up was not an easy one, and there were plenty of restless nights in which he plotted his next move. Even when he first started to gain recognition for his skits, the money wasn’t instantaneous. He needed some big breaks along the way, and one of them came from none other than Drake.

During an interview with Steven Bartlett of The Diary Of A CEO, Druski admitted that it was the “Laugh Now Cry Later” music video that led to his wealth. Brands started calling, and real money began to pour in.

Druski Gives Drake His Flowers

“The thing that changed my life was Drake calling for the ‘Laugh Now Cry Later’ music video,” Druski explained. “Brands started to take me seriously, it was no more sending free merch. It wasn’t until then that the real money was coming in. I can’t believe he took a chance on me”

Had it not been for this opportunity, there is no telling where Druski would have ended up with his career. Ultimately, he was able to springboard this look into a foray into megastardom. He is out here hosting the BET Awards and getting real attention from political figures like Erika Kirk.

Throughout the interview, Druski also spoke about falling into the world of scamming. He even stated that his plan was to end his own life if he didn’t make it in comedy.

You can listen to the entire interview below.

“For the record, I NEVER SIGNED any agreement,” the “Play This” artist wrote. “It was verbal, and I did not ignore their date. I went back and asked politely for a name change that would work. I was cooperative every step of the way and I am an artist in the middle of a rollout with priorities.”

The court filing says a cease-and-desist was issued in June 2025. The parties then entered into an agreement under which he would use “Overkxst” for future recordings and performances while removing the “Ovrkast.” name from his website, streaming profiles, domain, and merchandise.

OutKast Sues Ovrkast.

High Schoolers LLC filed the lawsuit against Ovrkast. on September 16th. The 31-page federal complaint accuses him of violating trademark rights, engaging in unfair competition, and failing to honor a settlement agreement that required him to stop using the name “Ovrkast.”

The dispute followed a 2025 cease-and-desist and an agreement allowing use of “Overkxst” instead. The company claims the transition deadline passed July 15, 2026, without compliance. It is seeking an injunction, profits, damages, legal fees and destruction of branded merchandise. Wilson must respond in Georgia federal court.

In a separate post, Ovrkast. explained that there’s more to the story behind the scenes. “Theres a lot that I’ve been dealing with emotionally/mentally this past year behind closed doors regarding this whole situation,” he wrote. “So before you criticize please remember that I am the newer and younger artist trying to figure my way.”

We say this because, according to videos surfacing on social media, Celina Powell allegedly attempted to get behind the wheel of her pink Lamborghini Urus while visibly intoxicated. However, Blueface’s chat noticed that Powell’s inebriated state was a danger to those on the road and called the police.

Eventually, officers showed up in the parking lot, and they made sure that Powell could not drive away. Her friends were laughing at the situation, noting that the chat had to call because she was looking “crazy.”

She argued that she was okay to drive, but in the end, that was not going to happen. Based on her slurred speech in the clip, the chat calling the cops was probably for the best.

Blueface’s Chat Saves The Day

Blueface and Celina Powell have been streaming a decent amount as of late. Just yesterday, we reported on Celina Powell revealing that she regretted exposing Snoop Dogg after allegedly sleeping with him.

Meanwhile, Blueface has been feeling good in the midst of this run on Kick. He is now making upwards of $130K per week, which puts him on pace to make just under $7 million per year. Of course, he would need to keep up those numbers in order to secure such a salary.

It just goes to show that streaming is a much more lucrative career than music right now. Overall, it comes with less risk, and you don’t need as many resources to make it work. Clearly, Blueface understands this and is doubling and tripling down on the new career path.

The September 12th show was pushed back due to travel issues and announced only half an hour before the show was set to begin. Live Nation chalked it up to travel issues, which Chief Keef appeared to corroborate on social media when he called out a “pilot who got very racist” that ultimately forced him to cancel his flight. 

“No I ain’t happy, yes I am upset,” Keef wrote on social media after cancelling the performance. “I know all of you anticipated this just like me … And I’m sincerely sorry that this happened trust me.”

Black covers most of the upper in these images, with a blue and green flame graphic running across the toe. White stitching outlines each flame shape, adding contrast against the darker base. A bright blue midsole and matching liner round out the design, giving the shoe some real pop against all that black.

Since these are early mock-ups, actual retail images could shift slightly once official photos surface closer to release. Style code, pricing, and exact release timing also remain unconfirmed right now. Further, expect more details to trickle out as 2027 gets closer.

The Jordan 18 has slowly worked its way back into rotation over the past couple years, following a long stretch with almost no retro attention at all. Any new colorway added to that lineup would keep that momentum going, and this flame-heavy design would easily stand out from anything the model has seen before.

Air Jordan 18 “Breaking Barriers”

The Air Jordan 18 holds a unique spot in Jordan Brand history. It debuted in 2003 as Michael Jordan’s final signature shoe. He wore it during his last season with the Washington Wizards.

Its design leaned heavily on Italian tailoring and motorsport influences, rather than typical basketball styling. A removable lace shroud and sleek, low-profile build set it apart from nearly every other model in the lineup, giving it a distinct identity even decades later.

For years, the Jordan 18 sat mostly ignored compared to more popular Jordans from the same era. That’s started to change recently, with Jordan Brand slowly bringing back OG colorways tied to its 2003 debut and giving the model long-overdue attention.

If this “Breaking Barriers” colorway lands as expected, it would mark one of the more creative takes on the model since its original release. Overall this is possibly a turning point for how often the 18 gets revisited going forward.

“People so scared to talk these days. They would rather run to the internet trying to go public with a screenshot,” he wrote on X in response to @2Cool2Blog reposting Yung Bleu’s Instagram Story.

The text exchange between the two saw Vlad reaching out before Bleu responded with a $50,000 fee for an interview. Bleu shared his YouTube analytics, stating that his numbers have been great even without an interview, while also mentioning the tension between Vlad and Boosie. 

“Lol I didn’t hit you about an interview. Just wanted to have a conversation about our past issues and take responsibility for the things I said in the past,” he said.

DJ Vlad Vs. Bleu

However, Bleu suggested that Vlad wanted to get him on his YouTube channel to try and further his beef with Boosie. “U def wanted a interview so I can go talk about Boosie cuz yall at odds,” he wrote. “I’m just letting u know u woulda sent thar I was gone block your numbers soons it hit.” 

Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first time Bleu’s accused Vlad of trying to create further friction between himself and Boosie. A few years ago, Bleu addressed both Boosie and Vlad in a song titled “Reading The Room,” where he rapped, “These n****s ain’t talking to me they talking to Vlad / Before you do another sit down, show ’em your badge.”

The transcripts themselves aren’t going to be available until early 2027, and the process for the appeal can take up to a year and a half to reach the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Kewon White was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Mo3 without the possibility of parole. His appellate attorneys, Grace Shin and Niles Illich, will receive the transcripts once available. Shin explained to Fox4News that it doesn’t guarantee a new trial, but it does provide an opportunity to find some sort of issue that can help their client.

Yella Beezy Trial In Mo3 Killing

The motion for appeal ties directly to Yella Beezy’s case. The rapper’s trial has ultimately been pushed back from its initial start date in September 2026, partially due to court transcripts, along with issues related to the availability of expert witnesses during the trial.

Prosecutors allege that Yella Beezy paid White $40,000 for the hit on MO3, who was ambushed and shot on I-35E while driving on the freeway. They said that bank records suggest that he pulled out $40,000 after MO3 was shot and killed, once White became irritated for not receiving his payment.

Beezy’s trial is now looking like it will begin at the end of October 2026 at the earliest, though that can also change. We will keep you posted on any further updates regarding the case.
