In the clip caught by Glock Topickz, Loren LoRosa asks if there’s any update regarding the legal battle with her ex-boyfriend, Javie (Javaughn) Young-White. They were in a tense custody war over Adeya during the summer of last year.

It started with the father of their child accusing Kehlani of being in a cult and that they had some sort of influence on how she had been raising Adeya. In a July filing, Young-White said the cult “controls her actions and her behavior, including when it comes to the upbringing of our daughter.”

What’s more is that he alleged that the “Folded” hitmaker left Adeya to be cared for by this alleged cult. “The environment that she has created for herself is not the type of environment that a child should be living,” he added.

In response, Kehlani filed for a restraining order in August.

Fast forward to today and according to her, she now has sole custody. Loren then inquired about their being any communication with Young-White. She simply replied, “No.”

When Did Kehlani & Javie Young-White Break Up?

Kehlani had more to say about seeing Adeya’s name attached to some of the “verbage” her ex was using in his complaints. While she was able to “bear” the allegations against her, she admitted it that was a “heartbreaker” in terms of Adeya being put in this situation.

But she had trust in her legal rep and God to handle this taxing ordeal.

Lastly, she once again stated that the cult claims were indeed not true and explained how she dealt while clapping back at all the people hoping for it to be true. “Yeah, it’s a tough situation,” Kehlani said. “Ultimately, the claims were false… he back tracked a lot… and a lot of it just got refuted. People who were very obsessed with disliking me and were waiting for a “gotcha” moment again… will hold onto that forever.”

She concluded, “That’s not really my ministry to change their mind. We have a lot of misery on this Earth and hopefully they find some healing.”

Kehlani and Young-White have not been together since shortly after they welcomed Adeya in March 2019. Overall, it sounds like they won’t be talking at all anytime soon either.

“I wanted to make a true apology, a true apology meaning giving no excuses or explanation for my behavior last night at the awards,” Love said, as caught by Complex. “I did not conduct myself in a way that represents me well or my team or my community or the people that look to me and look up to me in one way, shape, or form. My behavior was completely unnecessary and distasteful, for sure. Another moment, another mistake made off being under the influence, but obviously that’s not an excuse.”

“What I did was very selfish and inconsiderate,” she said. “I wasn’t considering anybody else’s thoughts, nothing but my own, and just being in the moment, being impulsive, and I took away from your moment, and I deeply am truly apologetic for that. To FaZe Clan, I definitely respect you guys as a group. You guys are real pioneers in the Twitch space. I’m very new. … I’m still learning as I go. I respect you guys. And again, what I did was completely unnecessary and uncalled for.”

Streamer Award Winners

Love also addressed QTCinderella, who served as a co-host for the event. “I want to apologize to QT,” she added. “First of all, I appreciate you inviting me and there is no excuse for my behavior. It was very distasteful. It was very, I keep saying, unnecessary. It was my initial emotion response and, again, I had no business being on that stage, and that is that. I hope one day you give me grace enough to forgive me for my actions.”

Elsewhere during the ceremony, several other popular streamers took home awards. PlaqueBoyMax won Best Music Streamer while IShowSpeed earned Best IRL Streamer and the highly coveted Streamer of the Year award. Kai Cenat was also honored for Best Streamed Collab for his stream with LeBron James.

KD has always had a sharp eye for rare sneakers, but this one hit a different level. It’s a nod to Travis’ Houston roots and a reminder of just how deep their connection to Nike runs.

The colorway leans straight into Longhorns territory without feeling forced. Durant kept the fit relaxed, letting the shoes do exactly what they were supposed to do: steal the moment. Anytime KD steps out in something special, the internet moves fast, and this was no exception.

Photos popped up, and it didn’t take long for sneaker fans to start dissecting every detail. Seeing a pair like this on someone of Durant’s stature only adds to the mystique.

Travis Scott’s Jordan 1 Lows already dominate resale and headlines, but a college-themed PE takes things to another level. KD didn’t say a word about them, but he didn’t have to. The shoes spoke loud enough.

Kevin Durant x Travis Scott

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Texas Longhorns” features brown leather overlays with a smooth grey nubuck base. The reverse Swoosh appears in a cream shade that stands out against the darker tones.

Orange accents highlight the stitching and heel, giving the shoe a subtle Longhorns feel. The tongue has a grey tag with a tonal Longhorns logo and cream laces and a vintage-style midsole tie everything together.

Further the outsole uses a dark brown finish for balance. Overall, the color palette is clean and earthy, and the materials look premium.

It doesn’t seem likely that these sneakers will be releasing any time soon, but who knows? Nike and Travis have surprised us before, so nothing is ever completely off the table.

They are continuing to build their bond each and every week. Last week, they were seen having a great time for the NFL wide receiver’s 32nd birthday. Videos showed him and Cardi B vibing together and with their dear friends.

However, that wholesomeness was coupled with a moment of steaminess. In a tweet caught by No Jumper, the AM I THE DRAMA? femcee shared a hot and heavy makeout session from their fun evening. “Grrrrrrrr,” she captioned the post.

She really went all out to give her man a memorable night out matching her energy with an equally seductive dress. Cardi B matched Stefon’s gold and black ensemble with a revealing dress, leaving just enough to the imagination.

The mother of four shared even more photos from the birthday bash last night, letting herself have a moment as well. Hopefully, they continue to have many more weekends like this together.

Are Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Getting Married?

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

There’s a real chance for that in fact as marriage rumors are rampant at the moment. On his birthday (Nov. 29), Stefon Diggs was gifted a hoodie from the New England Patriots’ Spanish media team. It read, “Español” along with the team’s logo.

However, it was his response to the gift that had everyone’s ears perked. “Yo quiero uno más [I want one more]… For mi esposa [for my wife].”

This sent folks into a frenzy, although to be honest, it might just be a nickname that Diggs has for Cardi B. But with them now sharing a child together as of last month, maybe a tying of the knot is in the cards. We can only imagine what the chatter will be like if that happens.

“I saw that today. Somebody sent me that sh*t today, man,” Deal said of Hylton’s post. “And my whole thing about it is, Misa, how am I harassing you? I’ve never harassed you. I’ve always been a protector of you so far, until now.”

From there, he argued that it was never his responsibility to deny the rumors that Anthony “Wolf” Jones was allegedly Justin’s real father. “For you to go and try to snake that whole situation and saying I’m the reason why you being harassed. No. Your ex [Diddy] is the reason why you being harassed,” he said. “Misa is mad at me and upset with me because I didn’t clarify that. It wasn’t for me to clarify. Misa, I ain’t harassed you not one time.”

Netflix’s “Sean Combs: The Reckoning”

As for Hylton’s since-deleted post, she wrote, as caught by The Shade Room: “Anyone who knows me knows I’m a private person, and it pains me that I even have to post this. The harassment my son and I have been dealing with because of things implied by Gene Deal and stated in a recent Netflix documentary has been heartbreaking. The truth is: the public is being misled about me and my child, we’ve been dragged into something we never asked for… a cruel game built on rumors and agendas.”

Netflix released Sean Combs: The Reckoning, last week. 50 Cent served as the executive producer, while Alex Stapleton directed the series. It features tons of celebrity appearances from Mark Curry, Al. B Sure, Aubrey O’Day, and more.

Diddy’s team has already responded to the allegations presented in Sean Combs: The Reckoning. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, they labeled the project a “hit piece.” “Netflix’s so-called ‘documentary’ is a shameful hit piece,” they wrote. “Today’s GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release. As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.”

This colorway has always had a quiet but loyal following, and seeing it back in the lineup feels overdue. The shoe keeps the classic AJ5 look but brings a sharper edge with its black nubuck upper and bright blue accents.

Retro fans will recognize the icy outsole and reflective tongue, two details that help this model stand out no matter how many times Jordan Brand brings it back. The shade of blue is bold enough to pop but not loud enough to overpower the shoe, which is exactly why people loved this pair the first time around.

With Jordan Brand already stacking strong releases for 2026, expect this one to get a lot of attention. It hits that sweet spot between nostalgia and wearability, and the University Blue theme always finds its crowd.

If you missed out years ago, this is your shot. And if you owned a pair back in the day, you already know why this one is so big.

Air Jordan 5 “Black/University Blue” Release Date

This Air Jordan 5 features a black nubuck upper with clean blue stitching. The tongue comes in silver with a black Jumpman logo. The mesh side panels keep the classic AJ5 look.

Also, University Blue hits appear on the sockliner, heel logo, and outsole. The midsole is black with white shark-tooth detailing.

Further the icy blue outsole adds a nice final touch. The shoe mixes dark tones with sharp blue accents. It feels simple, wearable, and true to the original style. Overall this is one of those colorways that works with almost anything.

@zsneakerheadz reports that the Air Jordan 5 “Black/University Blue” is going to drop on July 18th, 2026. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $215 when they are released.

“You couldn’t win a rap battle. Don’t come over here and think you could win a battle on these microphones where we’re talking and we’re trading ideas with me,” Akademiks said. “I keep telling you. I’m Jay-Z, Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar], Wilt [Chamberlain], Michael Jordan, and Tom Brady rolled up in one. You can’t f*ck with me. Come on. Stop playing.”

From there, Ak argued that he never tried rapping when his media career wasn’t doing so well, but complained that Maino has decided to step into “his lane.” “I helped create this sh*t. I’m one of the reasons radio is dead. I did that,” he said.

Akademiks also addressed Maino’s attempt to lecture him on fashion by resurfacing some of the rapper’s most polarizing outfits. “You’re not giving me a fashion lesson,” he remarked while showing multiple different pictures. “This is the drip I was supposed to take?” He ended by reiterating that he’s just trolling Maino and doesn’t want a serious beef between them.

DJ Akademiks & Maino’s Beef

As for his comments on the Let’s Rap About It podcast, Maino used the platform to defend Fabolous’ fashion choices after Akademiks made fun of him for rocking headbands. Alongside Jim Jones, Fabolous and Dave East, Maino said: “Yo, Akademiks, check this out… I know you not talking. You got the audacity to be speaking on n****s and what n****s is wearing? You talking about the proximity between what n****s is wearing and their age?”

From there, he continued: “You a journalist and this is your opinion, so let me give my opinion on you. I feel like you built like a d*ke… a wet bag of laundry. I feel like your built like a jar of relish… You know what they call that boy? They call [Akademiks] chicken… for chicken nugget. Stop playing with me, n****… I’ma big d*ck dictator. Stop playing with me.”

Maino is far from the only rapper to beef with DJ Akademiks as of late. The livestreamer has also made headlines for trading shots with Megan Thee Stallion, Yung Miami, and more rappers.

Of all of those, though, his 2011 sophomore effort is his most celebrated and perhaps his most important. It’s influence on the rappers today is still palpable as more and more talents are needing to be more than just spitters. Overall, it really is a blueprint for anyone looking to enter the rap genre going forward.

As a result of that and just the general love for it, Take Care continues to produce strong numbers 14 years later. In fact, in the latest sales update caught by Hip Hop All Day, the hit-filled LP is even outselling 2025 releases.

It’s 21,000 units for the week of December 6 trumps Cardi B’s AM I THE DRAMA? Playboi Carti’s MUSIC and more. But it’s not just Take Care that’s on the top sales for hip-hop. Certified Lover Boy, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, and For All The Dogs are all there as well.

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

Overall, it’s highly impressive that it’s still moving so well on shelves and actually follows another incredible feat it pulled off.

In October, Take Care re-entered the top 20 of the Hot 200 for the first time in about 13 years. It’s currently at 34, which is still wild.

But sadly, this achievement also speaks to the lack of dominance by rap in 2025. While there have been plenty of great albums, it’s been a struggle for the mainstream faces, to say the least.

But hopefully, Drake can set the tone going into next year and spark the rest of the artists in his lane to find their groove again.

He has a chance to do so with ICEMAN, which still does not have a release date. Johnny Manziel, who’s a close friend of The Boy’s, previously claimed it was going to drop in the fall. However, we are now very much in the middle of winter.

There’s been some snippets and posts from the Toronto icon himself that suggest it’s on the way, but how soon remains a mystery.

And of course, he made the moment look good. Most people were focused on the award, but sneakerheads immediately clocked what was on his feet. Tyler showed up in the Friends and Family Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “Varsity Red”, a pair almost no one outside his inner circle will ever get near.

This shoe has been one of the biggest unreleased talking points of the year. The general “Pine Green” pair already had momentum, but the “Varsity Red” version feels like the real prize. Tyler has a long history of bringing out rare sneakers at the right moments, and this was another example of him staying a step ahead of everyone.

The white upper, sharp red hits, and gum outsole lined up perfectly with his striped fit. It looked clean. It looked intentional. Once photos hit the timeline, the hype shot up again. Tyler walked away with a massive award, and sneakerheads walked away with yet another reminder that he sets trends without even trying.

Tyler The Creator Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “Varsity Red”

The Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “Varsity Red” stands out right away. The upper is mostly white leather with smooth panels. Bright red hits appear on the wings, eyelets, and midsole.

Also the gum outsole adds a clean contrast and feels natural with the white and red mix. The tongue tag uses the classic Jumpman logo in red.

Further the mesh panels stay true to the Jordan 4 design. The shoe looks sturdy and sharp, with easy wearability. It is simple but bold and overall, it feels special even from a distance.

The clip allegedly points at Bari, who’s wearing what appears to be a cropped white hoodie and jeans. He allegedly pushes someone away and then is pounced on by a few men. Bari allegedly falls to ground as a result behind a bush.

A few people, who are supposedly in the artist’s circle, are able to remove him from the pile. While allegedly separated from the tense situation, someone checks on him next to a chauffeur. The video ends with two other guys squabbling up.

At the time of writing, a lot of details are still unclear such as why the fight ensued and when. But A$AP Bari is chiming in to clear up the reports that he was the one being punched and beat on.

Seemingly taking to No Jumper‘s comments section about the brawl, he claims he was not the target.

What Was A$AP Bari’s Fashion Brand?

“lol [five laughing emojis] funny thing is those my ppl beating up the goofy holding me get y’all facts straight.” Bari seems to be referring to the man in what looks to be a striped hoodie standing behind him and wrapping his arms around his neck.

Some folks in the comments aren’t buying it as the remember a time in 2023 that he got jumped in Harlem. “Bari get beat every other day so ppl were confused,” one user types. “Hahah funny cus you never see him get back up after he got thrown on the ground like a lil ahh kid. Cornball,” another ruthlessly says.

Overall, there is still a lot of things to clear up going forward. The video footage is a little blurry and was shot from a distance, so maybe others from the fight will come forward and provide more context.

Unfortunately, though, the 2020s have not been all that kind to Bari. On top of these fights, the visionary was ousted from his own streetwear brand, VLONE, in October 2022. The co-founder was supposedly kicked out for poor behavior.

The brand’s statement said in part at the time, “In closing, we will not partake in any irrational behavior associated or related with Jabari ‘Younglord’ Shelton. He has no authority to style himself as ‘Mr. Vlone,’ use or license VLONE – this behavior is contrary to our collective. LIVE VLONE DIE VLONE.”
