Earlier this week, artists like Yung Lean, Metro Boomin, Future, and even Travis Scott teased their involvement in the soundtrack. Along with today’s announcement, their songs were officially released on streaming platforms. GTA VI: The Album comes with “RHYNO” by Travis Scott, as well as “That’s It,” by Future, Yung Lean, and Metro Boomin.

Alongside this announcement, it was revealed that the album will be released on the same day as the game, which just so happens to be November 19. Collectors will be able to buy a double-CD, a vinyl, or a limited edition vinyl of the album.

GTA VI: The Album Is Almost Here

If you go to the album’s official website, all of these items are already available to pre-order. The CD is $19.98, the vinyl is $49.98, and the limited edition vinyl is $124.98. This may be expensive, but GTA VI is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so the prices should not be surprising.

Along with the six new tracks, you can officially begin the process of pre-saving the album, whether on Spotify or Apple Music. Needless to say, Rockstar Games has really thought of everything as they go deep into the rollout for GTA VI.

After months of radio silence, it has become crystal clear that this game is on track for its November 19 release. Whether or not it lives up to the hype is a different story entirely.

Diggs has built a reputation over the years as one of the NFL’s most consistent custom cleat wearers. He works regularly with sneaker artist Dan “Mache” Gamache, who hand-paints a new pair for him almost every week. Past designs have ranged from Jordan 7 and Jordan 5 tributes to cleats honoring musicians and even his favorite movies.

This latest pair arrives as Diggs starts a new chapter with the Washington Commanders after signing there this year. He’s remained loyal to Jordan Brand throughout multiple team changes, going back to when he first signed his endorsement deal years ago while still with the Bills.

Since Diggs prioritizes function as much as style, Jordan Brand doesn’t just paint over a stock cleat for him. These customs actually use the lightweight upper from Nike’s Vapor Edge 360 Speed, with Jordan-style overlays added on top to mimic the retail silhouette.

Stefon Diggs’ Air Jordan 17 Low “Lightning” Cleats

What makes Diggs’ cleat rotation stand out is how consistent it’s been over the years. Very few NFL players commit to a new custom look nearly every single week the way he does. That consistency has turned his cleat game into its own kind of storyline throughout the season.

The “Lightning” colorway specifically ties back to one of Michael Jordan’s more memorable sneaker moments. Recreating that same look on a functional football cleat blends 2 different eras of sneaker culture into one design. It’s the level of detail that fans who follow both basketball history and NFL fashion will really like.

There’s no announcement yet on which game Diggs might actually debut these in. Given his track record, it likely won’t be long before this pair makes its way onto the field in Washington.

This marks Jalen Brunson’s second Kobe 5 release and his fourth PE overall to get a wider launch. The colorway is officially listed as Total Orange, Black, and Hyper Cobalt. Unlike most “What The” Kobe releases, this one keeps a symmetrical design instead of mismatching the left and right shoes.

Brunson first debuted the pair on April 24, 2025, during Game 3 of New York’s first-round playoff series against Detroit. Rick Brunson, Jalen’s father, played 9 seasons in the NBA before moving into coaching. He now serves as an assistant coach with the Knicks.

Each panel on the shoe ties back to a team Rick suited up for during his playing career. That list includes Portland, New York, Boston, Chicago, Toronto, the Clippers, Seattle, and Houston. The Knicks connection stands out the most, with blue and orange taking over much of the forefoot and side panels.

An earlier release in New York City is expected before the wider national launch happens.

Jalen Brunson x Nike Kobe 5 Protro “What The Rick”

Brunson has built a reputation over the past two seasons for rolling out standout Kobe PEs. Past examples include a Joker-inspired colorway and rare Protro pairs like “Del Sol” and “Bruce Lee.” Turning one of these personal tributes into an actual retail release is a rare move for Nike’s Kobe line.

Nike has leaned hard into Knicks-related sneaker activations since the team’s championship run. A previously New York City-exclusive Air Force 1 in Knicks colors is also expected to get a wider release soon. Bringing “What The Rick” to retail fits right into that same momentum.

Brunson has become one of the most visible faces of Nike’s Kobe Brand today. Getting a personal, family-driven design like this turned into a public release says a lot about how much the brand values that connection. For Knicks fans and Kobe collectors alike, this is shaping up as one of the more meaningful releases of 2027.

Buol filed the federal complaint Sept. 8 in Manhattan, according to AllHipHop. The case is also listed in the Southern District of New York as Buol v. Camel Jr., with Buol demanding a jury trial. The lawsuit says Buol managed Lucki from 2021 until 2026 under an oral agreement that entitled him to 15 percent of the rapper’s entertainment income, along with repayment for approved advances. Buol claims he accepted the reduced commission because Lucki agreed to bring in an accountant and handle his finances more formally, something the manager alleges never happened.

Their relationship reportedly began breaking down ahead of a 2024 Canadian tour. Buol says he had already been covering expenses himself and eventually told Lucki he would no longer bankroll the operation. He briefly stepped away after a hotel confrontation, but claims Lucki convinced him to return by promising to open a business account, fund it with more than $100,000, and provide a company credit card. Buol alleges those promises never materialized.

Lucki’s Former Manager Says He Paid For Tour Expenses Himself

Much of the complaint deals with what Buol says happened once he resumed working with the rapper. He claims he sold investments, depleted his savings, and maxed out personal credit cards while financing Lucki’s touring operation, including roughly $214,822 for the 30-city Gemini Tour.

The spending allegedly went beyond ordinary travel costs. AllHipHop reports that Buol claims Lucki caused about $15,000 in hotel damage, including a shattered television at Nobu Atlanta, marijuana burns on furniture, and more than $6,000 in charges from a single night at the Tampa EDITION.

Buol also accuses Lucki of directing Empire and other companies to send money that should have covered his 15 percent management commission directly to the rapper instead. He says more than $1 million in commissions remains unpaid, along with at least $225,000 in advances he wants reimbursed. The complaint also describes threats after their relationship deteriorated. Buol alleges Lucki told him to stay out of his business and threatened to make sure no one in the industry worked with him again.

The case arrives while Lucki is already dealing with other business disputes. Blueprint Productions sued him in August for nearly $182,000 over allegedly unpaid merchandise invoices connected to his 2024 tour. Empire has also accused him of violating an exclusive distribution agreement by releasing music through another company.

Sharpe explained that he had read they were friends, which prompted Hernandez to clarify that she has no personal issue with Lanez but also doesn’t consider him someone she had a real relationship with. “No, I don’t got no beef with him,” she said. Hernandez added that she was aware of the case involving Megan Thee Stallion, as millions of people are, but had no interest in inserting herself into a situation she did not personally know enough about.

“I really don’t have anything to say about it because I don’t know what the f*ck going on with that,” she said during the Club Shay Shay interview. Sharpe then made it clear he wasn’t asking her to weigh in on the 2020 shooting itself. He wanted to know what kind of relationship she had with Lanez before his incarceration.

Joseline Hernandez Says Tory Lanez “Was Liking On The Princess”

That answer was even simpler. “We never had a relationship like that,” Hernandez said. Yet, she did offer one detail that may explain why people assumed otherwise. “He was liking on the Princess,” she added, referring to herself by her longtime “Puerto Rican Princess” nickname.

The comment suggested Lanez may have been interested at some point, but Hernandez stopped well short of describing anything romantic or serious between them. Her response was more about correcting a story she did not recognize than revisiting an old connection. Check out the full episode of Club Shay Shay with Joseline Hernandez below.

Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2022 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying an unregistered loaded firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence in connection with the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. His appeal of the conviction was rejected in November 2025.

Hernandez did not defend Lanez or offer a theory about what happened that night. She simply rejected the idea that his legal situation was something she could speak on from personal experience. As for whatever existed between the two before then, Hernandez said there was no relationship to explain.

During a new appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Leray said they speak regularly now, with much of that contact revolving around her daughter, Miyoco. According to Complex, Benzino FaceTimes nearly every other day to see his granddaughter, who calls him “pop pop.”

“Me and my dad are really cool now. Like, I love him so much,” Leray said. Watching him become a grandfather has meant something to her because she did not grow up with that kind of relationship with her own grandparents. She added that the timing feels right for them to rebuild because she can have conversations with him now that she could not have handled the same way years ago.

Becoming the primary provider for her own family also changed how she understands parts of Benzino’s life. Leray said she can now see him as a man in his 60s who built himself up, lost much of what he had, and lived through his own successes and failures. That perspective has not erased what happened between them. “We forgive, we just don’t forget,” she said.

Their relationship had been especially fractured publicly. Leray famously referenced being let down by her father on 2021’s “No More Parties,” and tension grew again after Benzino prematurely revealed Nicki Minaj’s involvement on “Blick Blick.” By May 2024, Leray wrote that she had not spoken to him in more than a year and wanted no connection to his interviews or public decisions.

Part of their reconciliation involved addressing that pattern directly. Leray told Lee that she asked Benzino to stop discussing their relationship publicly, and he apologized. “I’m sorry, you’re right, I’m sorry,” she recalled him telling her. The two agreed that whatever happens between them should stay between them rather than becoming another social media debate.

That boundary carries more weight now that Miyoco is involved. Late last year, Benzino said publicly that he had not yet met his granddaughter. That has since changed, and Leray says seeing her daughter light up when her grandfather calls has helped soften some of the distance that remained between them.

According to KTLA, Snoop Dogg came dressed for the occasion in a jacket covered with Long’s face. When it was time to speak, he wasted little time explaining what she has meant to audiences beyond her résumé.

“Nia wasn’t just in the culture; Nia is the culture,” Snoop said. He then got one of the ceremony’s biggest laughs by addressing the generations of men who grew up crushing on her. “For about 30 years, Nia Long had every Black man in America thinking he had a chance. You didn’t, but she let you dream, and we appreciate that, Nia.”

There was some history behind Snoop standing beside her Wednesday. Long attended his own Walk of Fame ceremony in 2018, when Dr. Dre, Quincy Jones and Jimmy Kimmel helped honor the Long Beach rapper. Eight years later, he returned the support as one of the official guest speakers for her ceremony. The Hollywood Walk of Fame also tapped Michael producer Graham King to speak, with Variety correspondent Angelique Jackson serving as emcee.

Nia Long’s Hollywood Star Brings Her Back To Childhood Memories

Long’s connection to Hollywood Boulevard began long before she worked in movies. She recently told Variety that her mother drove a city bus through Hollywood when she was young, giving Long plenty of chances to stare down at the stars and ask about the famous names underneath her feet.

“We used to walk down the block and look at all the stars,” she recalled. Now that one belongs to her. Long said the honor was as much for her mother as it was for herself because her mother was the person who brought the family to Los Angeles.

The star has built a career that spans several eras of Black film and television. Boyz n the Hood, Friday, Love Jones, and The Best Man remain among her most revisited films, while The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air made her familiar to another generation of viewers. Long most recently portrayed Katherine Jackson in Michael, which became a major box-office success earlier this year.

There is more on the way. Long recently wrapped Netflix’s Don’t Ever Wonder, which reunites her with Love Jones co-star Larenz Tate and draws inspiration from Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite. She also confirmed that Ice Cube is preparing another script that could reunite the pair after their Are We There Yet? films.

For all of the credits attached to Wednesday’s honor, Snoop found the simpler way to put it. Long didn’t just appear in movies that became part of Black culture. For plenty of people who grew up watching them, she became part of the culture herself.

According to NBC News, attorney Michael Tremonte filed a declaration Monday asking a federal judge in New York to allow the firm to withdraw. Tremonte said Combs owes a “substantial balance” in legal fees, costs, and expenses, and that his most recent payment covered work performed in late 2025. Further, the money is only part of the disagreement. Tremonte also claims Combs has not made himself available for timely and substantive discussions about the case for more than four months. The filing describes the relationship as having reached a “total breakdown in cooperation and communication.”

Combs disputes that version of events. Through spokesperson Juda Engelmayer, he said he decided to change attorneys because the firm allegedly overcharged him and billed for work he had not approved.

“I won’t let anyone take advantage of me by overcharging me and running up bills that were never approved,” Combs said in the statement. He characterized the disagreement as a business dispute rather than simply a refusal to pay. Tremonte rejected the accusation and said the firm is leaving because its invoices remain unpaid and Combs has become uncooperative.

Diddy’s $100 Million Defamation Case Recently Survived A Major Challenge

The timing is notable because the firm is seeking to exit shortly after Combs scored a partial win in the same lawsuit. He sued Courtney Burgess, attorney Ariel Mitchell, and Nexstar Media, which owns NewsNation, over allegations broadcast before his federal criminal trial. Burgess claimed he possessed videos showing Combs sexually assaulting celebrities and minors, while Combs alleges Mitchell and NewsNation helped spread false accusations.

Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge John P. Cronan refused to dismiss the claims against Mitchell and allowed one portion of the case against Nexstar to continue, while throwing out several others. The ruling did not establish that Combs had been defamed. It only determined that some of his claims were legally sufficient to proceed.

ABC News reports that the parties have also discussed the possibility of mediation or a settlement conference. A hearing on the next steps in the case is scheduled for Sept. 17. Combs is currently serving a 50-month federal sentence in New Jersey after being convicted in 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of the more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.

Sher Tremonte’s request still needs the judge’s approval. Until then, the filing reflects the firm’s attempt to end the attorney-client relationship rather than a completed withdrawal.
