The film follows a successful self-help author whose new romance quickly turns dangerous. What begins as a promising relationship spirals into a nightmare involving a stalker and a murder accusation. Lucy Barrett, Dewayne Perkins, Clifton Powell, and Laura Harrier round out the cast.

Kid Cudi Is Building Out His Filmmaking Slate

Wrong Number will be Cudi’s second feature as a director. He completed production earlier this year on Doe, a drama he also wrote and stars in about a man experiencing homelessness and addiction over the course of 24 hours in Los Angeles. Deadline previously reported that Mark Webber, Leah McNamara, Brandon Scott and Brandon Perea co-star.

Cudi teased the follow-up in August without revealing the title at the time. He described the project as a horror thriller with comedy mixed in and said he planned to release both films in 2027. Acting has already become a steady second lane for Cudi, whose recent credits include Ti West’s X franchise and Knuckles. He also recently wrapped a lead role in the supernatural thriller Pathetic Fallacy alongside Jessica Rothe, Travis Fimmel and Natasha Lyonne.

Ferreira, best known for Euphoria and Jordan Peele’s Nope, joins Cudi as the film’s other lead. A release date for Wrong Number has not yet been announced, but Cudi has said he expects his second directorial effort to arrive in late summer 2027.

Over the years, it has also become one of the most interesting canvases in Jordan Brand’s catalog. From manga artists and streetball tournaments to one of hip-hop’s biggest producers and a French football club, the AJ6 has attracted a diverse range of collaborations.

Here are the 10 best collaborations the silhouette has ever seen.

10. Slam Dunk x Air Jordan 6

The Slam Dunk manga was one of the most important ways of spreading basketball culture across Asia in the 1990s. Its creator, Takehiko Inoue, credited Michael Jordan as the inspiration for his love of basketball and the series itself.

The shoe features an all-red varsity upper covered in tonal 3M illustrations pulled directly from the manga’s 31 volumes, with Sakuragi’s number 10 stitched on the heel in place of Jordan’s usual 23. A translucent heel tab and icy outsole complete the build.

It was released in 2014 at $250 and remains one of the most culturally significant Jordan Brand collabs ever produced outside of the US

9. Quai 54 x Air Jordan 6

Quai 54 is the biggest streetball tournament in the world, held annually in Paris and deeply tied to basketball’s global cultural reach. Jordan Brand has been a partner of the event. The 2020 collection produced two of the most visually interesting AJ6s in the silhouette’s collab history.

The colorway shown here features a clean sail leather upper with bold geometric print panels in purple, blue, and orange across both sides of the shoe. The right shoe swaps the standard Jumpman logo for Quai 54 graphics, a detail that rewards the people who look closely.

It dropped August 8th, 2020 for $200. The tournament itself couldn’t happen that year due to COVID, which gave the release an extra layer of meaning as a tribute to what the pandemic took away.

8. Social Status x Air Jordan 6 “Pony Hair”

Social Status is a Charlotte-based boutique, and when the 2019 NBA All-Star Game came to Charlotte, they teamed up on an AJ6. The result was one of the more unconventional collab builds the silhouette has ever seen.

A black snakeskin upper serves as the base, with pony hair overlays covering the toe box, sides, and heel. Dark purple hits the lace lock, Jumpman tongue, heel pull tab, and midsole for contrast.

The whole design draws from MJ’s “Black Cat” alter ego. It first released at Social Status on February 14, 2019, during All-Star Weekend before hitting SNKRS for $250. It’s also a shoe that divides opinion every time it comes up, which is exactly what makes it worth talking about.

7. Awake NY x Air Jordan 6

Angelo Baque has been one of the more interesting creative voices in the Jordan Brand collab space for several years. The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 pack is his most ambitious project yet. The “Blueberry” colorway layers midnight navy, royal, and light blue across the upper.

Infrared 23 stitching cuts through the design from nearly every angle, giving it a sharper finish. Saffiano leather on the heel overlays adds a luxury fashion reference without being heavy-handed about it.

The pair dropped via an Awake NY raffle in August. Around 25,000 pairs were available for the Blueberry colorway. A pink version released alongside it as an Awake exclusive. Together, the 2 colorways pushed the AJ6 into new creative territory without losing sight of the original.

6. Gatorade x Air Jordan 6 “Be Like Mike”

The “Be Like Mike” campaign debuted in August 1991 and became one of the most iconic sports marketing moments of all time. 26 years later, Gatorade and Jordan Brand finally put it on a shoe.

The Air Jordan 6 was the natural choice since it’s the exact silhouette MJ wore during the original commercial. The white leather upper with team orange overlays references the classic “Carmine” colorway while keeping the Gatorade color story intact.

Green Gatorade lightning bolt logos hit the lace locks and insoles throughout. “If I Could Be” is stitched on the inner tongue as a nod to the campaign’s signature song. It retailed for $190 in late 2017 alongside a full apparel collection.

5. Aleali May x Air Jordan 6 “Millennial Pink”

Aleali May is a Los Angeles-based stylist and fashion insider who built a strong collab track record with Jordan Brand before this shoe ever dropped. Her first 2 collabs were Air Jordan 1s, so the jump to the AJ6 was interesting.

The shoe first appeared as a friends-and-family exclusive in 2017 before Jordan Brand brought it to retail. A rust pink upper covers the entire build, with bright crimson accents on the heel tab, Jumpman logos, and midsole mountain peaks.

A translucent outsole finishes it off cleanly. It was released in women’s sizing in early 2019 at $190. The colorway pushed the AJ6 into a space it had never really occupied before.

4. Doernbecher x Air Jordan 6

The Doernbecher Freestyle program is one of the most meaningful things Nike does every year. It gives patients at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital the chance to design their own signature sneakers, with proceeds going directly to the hospital.

The 2009 Air Jordan 6 was designed by then 12-year-old Jordan Dark, who was battling cancer at the time. He drew from his love of the Atlanta Braves and his own high school colors to create a navy suede build with red and gold accents throughout.

The dates “06/08” and “04/09” are embossed on the side panel, marking the first and last days of his chemotherapy. Jordan Dark was cancer-free by the time the shoe was released. It returned for the program’s 15th anniversary in 2019.

3. PSG x Air Jordan 6

Paris Saint-Germain and Jordan Brand announced their partnership in 2018, and the Air Jordan 6 was the collab that proved the relationship had real creative legs.

The iron grey and black upper draws its color blocking directly from the Air Jordan 6 “Carmine,” with infrared accents replacing the original red. PSG medallion branding sits on the heel; “PANAME” which is a local nickname for Paris, is stitched under each heel pull tab, and the lace locks read “PARIS” and “75,” the city’s zip code.

The insoles carry PSG’s slogan “ICI C’EST PARIS.” It was released in summer 2019 at $225 and was a strong seller across both the European and US markets.

2. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 6 “Olive”

Travis Scott debuted this shoe during his Super Bowl LIII halftime performance in February 2019, and it immediately became one of the most anticipated Jordan collabs of the year. The medium olive suede and upper brought a military, utilitarian feel to the AJ6 that nobody had seen on the silhouette before.

The canvas stash pocket on the ankle collar was a detail that defined the whole shoe, borrowed from his Air Jordan 1 collab and made even more prominent here. Hidden Cactus Jack branding sits inside the pocket flap.

University red accents hit the lace locks and heel branding, while a glow-in-the-dark translucent outsole and 3M reflective details underneath the perforations complete the build. It released in October 2019 at $250 and sold out immediately.

1. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 6 “British Khaki”

The “British Khaki” improved on everything the “Olive” had already done right. Released on April 30, 2021, Travis Scott’s birthday, to celebrate the Air Jordan 6’s 30th anniversary, the shoe doubled down on the stash pocket concept by adding one on both sides.

The entire upper is dressed in a warm khaki suede with slightly darker brown mesh at the tongue. Bright crimson hits the Nike Air and Cactus Jack branding on the heels, breaking up the tonal build in exactly the right place.

A glow-in-the-dark outsole, translucent heel tabs, and a co-branded outsole print complete it. It released at $250 and sold out immediately across all sizes. Resale climbed fast and has stayed high ever since.

According to TheGrio, Russell-Bailey addressed the situation Thursday (Sept. 10) night after initially staying quiet. “What my biological father shared is not an accurate representation of our relationship,” he wrote, adding that he had taken several days before responding so he could be clear about what he wanted to say.

The conversation began when Chingy told Jason Lee that he has four children and identified Russell-Bailey as his youngest son. “Actually, my youngest son, Isaiah, is a big actor out here in California,” he said, pointing to his work with Disney and other projects. Russell-Bailey has appeared in Family Reunion, Raven’s Home, S.W.A.T., and films including We Can Be Heroes and Crater.

Russell-Bailey responded indirectly at first, posting a tribute to his mother, Brittany Perry-Russell. “Everything I am, I owe to the woman who has always been there,” he wrote. He also liked comments questioning Chingy’s involvement in his upbringing and career.

Isaiah Russell-Bailey Says Chingy Was Absent During His Childhood

As speculation grew, Chingy defended himself. He told Hollywood Unlocked that Russell-Bailey knows the relationship they have and argued that not everything a father does for his child is shared online. Chingy also said he wanted his son to build a career separate from his own name and maintained that he had offered support when needed.

Russell-Bailey disputed that account directly. He described “years of absence and neglect” and said public statements about love or support do not erase his memories of who was present while he was growing up. He also rejected suggestions that his mother had manipulated him into feeling negatively toward Chingy.

“A parent doesn’t have to turn a child against someone who was already absent,” he wrote. “My feelings are my own, and they come from my own experiences.”

The actor was particularly protective of his mother’s role in his career. Russell-Bailey said he and Perry-Russell made sacrifices together while pursuing acting and objected to any version of the story that gave someone else credit for work he says they handled without that person’s involvement.

He also made clear that he does not intend to turn the disagreement into an extended public fight. Russell-Bailey said he would not reveal private family details simply to win an argument online, but he would not allow anyone to speak for him or use his name to create what he called “a false picture of a nonexistent relationship for clout.”

“I’ve said what I needed to say, and I won’t be speaking on this again,” he concluded. Chingy had not publicly responded to Russell-Bailey’s latest statement.

A street interviewer asked AB if he thought the new skit was about him. While Antonio Brown hasn’t been officially diagnosed with CTE, some fans point to his erratic behavior after a 2016 impact as a possible effect.

“I don’t know. Could’ve been,” he responded. “And it’s Coulda Been Records. Yeah, I’ma f**k Druski in his a**. Yo, Druski, I’ma f**k you in the a**. Like, not directly and s**t, but, like, yeah, we gon’ violate you, bro.”

The interviewer then asked what AB would do if he saw the comedian and content creator “right here, right now.” “We gon’ run up on him and give him a wedgie. For all my CTE brothers,” he responded. “Yeah, yeah, we gon’ give him a wedgie. We gon’ get his drawls to his ears.”

Brown then named himself as part of a “CTE gang,” as the interviewer put it. He said others are also in it, but didn’t want to mention other names.

Antonio Brown Blasts Druski

Elsewhere, Antonio Brown’s jabs at other celebrities are pretty common. He recently went at fellow football player Stefon Diggs for his back tattoo, even launching a homophobic slur at him. AB often makes headlines for his antics and comments, but this particular grievance with the CTE skit, albeit possibly in jest, has fans wondering if there’s something deeper. Again, that’s purely speculative.

Meanwhile, Druski’s media popularity has gone beyond skits, as he recently hosted the BET Awards. There were some controversies here and divisive takes on his performance, but it’s at least nice to see more established media outlets tap in with the biggest creators of today.

We’ll see if the comedian responds to AB anytime soon, whether with a joke or a jab. In the meantime, Brown will continue to poke fun at controversy around him.

Since Wednesday, the jury has been deliberating on the case. There are three defendants here, including Durk, OTF Dede, and David Lindsey, also known as Browneyez. Each defendant has five charges against them, which means the jury has to hand down 15 separate verdicts. This is a lengthy process, and as of Friday afternoon, a verdict has not yet been reached.

However, that has not stopped the prosecution and the defense from getting into a room together and having a conversation. According to reporter Michael Blackshire, the defense and prosecution had a closed-door, off-the-record meeting this afternoon. It is unknown what the conversation was about, and how it may pertain to the impending verdict.

Lil Durk Jury Continues To Deliberate

Given the fact that this meeting was off-the-record, we will not be getting any sort of transcription of what was said. However, this has not stopped commenters on X from speculating that some kind of plea deal could be on the horizon. There is no proof that this is the case, and during legal moments like this, it is important to dismiss hearsay. Otherwise, misinformation can be disseminated exceptionally fast.

The jury in the Lil Durk trial is typically on lunch around this time. If deliberations go until the end of the day, the cut-off point will be 7:30 PM EST. For those on the West Coast, that is 4:30 PM PST.

Stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the trial.

He told DJ Vlad about working with Shiesty on this case since January 10 of this year, clarifying he was on the case for a month despite the news breaking on a different timeline. When asked why he left, the lawyer said it’s not beneficial to reveal specific details about reasonings for dropping out of cases. He brought up multiple possible reasons for withdrawal, but he spoke fondly of the Memphis rapper and said he still talks to him.

Bradford Cohen dismissed Internet theories about his exit, highlighting how difficult these cases are and denying the idea that he drops bad cases. He said he doesn’t think Pooh Shiesty’s case is a “loser.” While Cohen didn’t go into detail about specific possible defenses, he said Shiesty has a great legal team behind him and encouraged clients to seek out the lawyers they want.

Also, he said he recommended high-profile lawyers to Pooh. Bradford Cohen spoke on the Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane video leak, highlighting there is still plausible deniability. He said he thought Shiesty was going to get bond after a hearing.

Pooh Shiesty’s Lawyer

While Bradford Cohen did not explicitly reveal exactly why he left the Pooh Shiesty case, he gave multiple possible reasons. More importantly, he denied the notion that he dropped out because he wasn’t confident in Shiesty’s case or his chances.

As for updates on this case, Pooh Shiesty’s jewelry, which cops had taken from him, recently fell into the hands of bonded-out codefendant, Big30.

Meanwhile, Bradford Cohen’s spoken about other hip-hop cases that are driving timelines crazy these days. He recently had a conversation with DJ Akademiks about the Lil Durk case ad what his predictions are.

Per reported police records, authorities set Bingham’s bail at one million dollars. It doesn’t seem like authorities have scheduled a court date at press time, but he reportedly remains in L.A.’s 77th Street police station in the meantime.

As for other details about this case and arrest, nothing else has emerged as of writing this article. As such, folks will have to wait for more updates to come out, as the TMZ report did not include any additional details about this development.

No Jumper is no stranger to legal trouble, although these are individual cases that don’t relate to the media company. For example, Maurice “Ant Jefe” Shelmon caught a murder charge following an arrest in Los Angeles. Afroman advocated for his freedom, and there have been other high-profile controversies involving the media company.

4xtra Arrested

However, regarding the media outlet, 4xtra’s beef with No Jumper‘s Adam22 became big headlines in the past few years. Back in 2025, 4xtra suffered a firework accident that resulted in the loss of multiple fingers. After the situation, Adam mocked Bingham, and they dropped diss tracks against each other.

Later, though, specifically in June of this year, the two reunited at the No Jumper studio to hash out their differences. While Adam was still making light of the situation somewhat, 4xtra spoke on how the conflict hurt him and how the No Jumper host’s disparaging comments put him in a dark headspace.

Following these viral moments, many fans expressed shock at reports of this attempted murder arrest. We will see if more information emerges about this soon or if the case becomes more complicated. Either way, it’s a distressing development for Resan Bingham. Perhaps he speaks out about this in some way if he finds the chance, or folks await more official legal updates.

This will be his first project since 2023’s Rocket Power, which was also the first full-length he dropped since the passing of his nephew and fellow Migos member, Takeoff. They had dropped their collaborative album Only Built For Infinity Links in 2022, and Take’s loss still pains hip-hop to this day and beyond.

Speaking of which, Quavo said QRÖMELIFE will apparently prelude another Migos album. He told DJ Greg Street on his V-103 Atlanta radio show that a new LP from the group is on the way, along with a tour alongside the remaining Migo, Offset. They had a feud before Takeoff’s passing that they have since squashed.

Right now, though, fans want to hear QRÖMELIFE first before any promised Migos material. Fortunately for die-hards, they will not have to wait much longer.

Quavo’s New Album

The project’s artwork is a simple close-up picture of Huncho with funky glasses that spell out the LP’s title. “QRÖMELIFE OCT 2nd pre save now!” he wrote on Twitter.

When QRÖMELIFE pops around on October 2, we will see if he and Pharrell Williams outdo what they already teased on “Trance (Walk It Down)” and “HAAVIN.” The shiny and Louis Vuitton-inspired aesthetic for this era should be exciting for Huncho, but we’ll see how he and Williams stick the landing.

Quavo will be adding to a notable solo and collaborative discography with this new full-length. 2018’s QUAVO HUNCHO came out amid the Migos’ peak, and his previous drop was even more high-profile. Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho, released in 2017 as a collaborative effort with Travis Scott, still has some fan-favorites on there.

With all this in mind, QRÖMELIFE has the potential to impress. Hopefully, everyone will have a happy time on October 2.

Yella’s team reportedly motioned for this just days after White’s verdict, specifically around Wednesday (September 9). We will see if the court responds in time today (Friday, September 11) to this request, as there are no further updates on this at press time.

The reason for the delay request is because Yella Beezy’s defense team wants the written record from Kewon White’s trial and ran into a scheduling conflict concerning an expert witness who will form part of Beezy’s case’s presentation. The witness, Julianna Moore, is reportedly an 18-year veteran of federal court proceedings and knows of benefits available to witnesses if they cooperate with prosecutors. It’s unclear, however, how this will relate to Beezy’s case.

Yella Beezy Trial

“Moore isn’t available to testify during the week of September 21, 2026 because of a preplanned event,” Yella’s lawyer Toby Shook reportedly shared. “The White trial took two full weeks from the start…to sentencing. Thus, [Yella Beezy’s] attorneys expect to present his defense during the week of September 21, the week that Moore isn’t available.”

In addition, the defense team reportedly said ten days is an insufficient preparation period covering only five working days after White’s trial. The witness lists for both trials are reportedly almost indistinguishable from one another, indicating jurors will hear a lot of the same arguments and evidence.

Yella Beezy pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. Following Kewon White’s conviction, he claimed Beezy did not pay him for the murder. Beezy denies having anything to do with Mo3’s murder.

Fans previously theorized jokingly that Vlad helped Carmen Bryan sue N.O.R.E. since she had been on VladTV in the past and that the lawsuit came just as the media personalities exchanged barbs online. Ultimately, Vlad ran with this theory for his channel for a brief second, where he delivered a whole monologue about hiring the best lawyers in the game–Drew Findling, Joe Tacopina, and Bradford Cohen–to create a dream team for Bryan. 

“N.O.R.E, this right here is payback because right in the midst of the situation, I hit up Carmen and I said, ‘Yo, you ready to go forward with this lawsuit?’ She said, ‘Yo, I would too, but I don’t have the money, Vlad. This is gonna cost a lot of money,’” he jokingly said before alleging that he gets “50% of whatever comes in after expenses.” He also said that he reached out to JAŸ-Z to help foot the bill for Bryan.

DJ Vlad Addresses Carmen Bryan Relationship

However, he came clean and made it clear that he has no involvement whatsoever and everything he said was completely made up. He then explained that his relationship with Bryan hasn’t been great since he interviewed her nine years ago.

“The interview came out, I haven’t talked to Carmen since. She made no mention of the N.O.R.E. situation during the interview, so there’s that,” he said. “A few years ago, she contacted me and she wanted the interview taken down, and I said no, and she got mad and tried to get it taken down, and she failed.”

He explained that’s basically where things were left between them.
