“I went through some shit to an extent, but it was, you know… between being an artist and the expectations of that, and I guess the deconstruction of my masculinity, it’s been a lot of getting to know myself,” he explained during a recent interview with The Breakfast Club. “I’m blessed to how everything happened with me,” he continued. “And the reception of everything. Because it allowed me to really step back and re-examine what I was doing. ‘Cause regardless of how much I love myself, I still put myself in an irresponsible situation for anyone to control my narrative.”

Rashad added, “At some point, I’ve accepted that they don’t make a manual for being a bisexual Black men or any of that type of shit. It was less hiding myself from anything, and more so not knowing how to not be ostracized.”

Isaiah Rashad previously expressed gratitude to his fans at Coachella after the leak and later, opened up during an interview with Joe Budden.

However, in 2023, Offset and Quavo put aside their differences to honor Takeoff with a performance at the BET Awards. It was a truly special moment, and one that fans would not soon forget. That said, the two decided to go their separate ways and continue their solo careers.

Recently, the idea of a Migos reunion has become an actual possibility. We say this because Offset and Quavo were spotted in the studio over the weekend. The two did not shy away from taking photos of this momentous occasion. As you can imagine, the studio session led to lots of speculation about what might be on the horizon.

For instance, some suggested that Offset and Quavo could be preparing a verse for Drake’s upcoming ICEMAN album. Today, the Migos Instagram account returned following a two-year hiatus, with a photo of Quavo and Offset in the studio. The account captioned the post with some construction emojis.

Simply put, the reunion has become Instagram official. For now, however, we still don’t know exactly what the two have planned. What we do know is that Offset and Quavo have always had phenomenal musical chemistry together. It’s been a while since they made a track with one another, but we imagine their partnership is just like riding a bike.

With the Summer approaching, we will certainly be keeping an eye on these two. A collab album or even just a song from these two would be a huge moment for not just hip-hop, but these two men as individuals. They have been through a lot, and you can’t help but root for them both.

The three colorways visible in the photo appear to be the “Lucid Orange” All-Star pair, the “Antlanta” green and teal version, and the “Glow” black and lime burst colorway. All three retail for $130. Chalamet just has all of them sitting on his floor like it’s nothing.

This isn’t Chalamet’s first AE 2 moment either. He previously wore the All-Star colorway during a pickup basketball game in Beijing while promoting Marty Supreme. The man clearly plays in these, not just collects them.

He’s also been courtside at multiple Knicks playoff games this month in Adidas wearing Stan Smiths for the first round, Sambas for Game 1 against the Sixers. Whether he has a formal deal with the brand or is just wearing Adidas everywhere is unclear.

Anthony Edwards seeing his biggest cultural co-sign come from an Oscar-nominated actor showing off his shoe collection on Instagram is a different kind of win. Ant-Man’s shoes are everywhere right now, and Chalamet is a big reason why.

Timothee Chalamet’s Adidas AE 2 Collection

The Adidas AE 2 is Anthony Edwards’ 2nd signature sneaker, built in a lower cut than the original AE 1, sitting somewhere between a mid and a low top. The shoe features Lightstrike cushioning for lightweight responsiveness and Boost technology for energy return.

Also it has mixed materials upper that balances support and flexibility through quick direction changes. Overlays on the toe add containment and structure, while fake carbon fiber panels on the heel keep the foot locked in.

The three colorways in Chalamet’s photo span the range of what the AE 2 has to offer: loud orange, earthy green, and neon lime. The standard retail for the Adidas AE 2 is $130 as well.

Most recently, DJ Whoo Kid chimed in on the hype around Drake’s upcoming release during an interview with Diverse Mentality, as well as the duration of Kendrick’s reign at the top. While discussing the story behind the “Whoo Kid” drop on Drake’s “Push Ups,” he argued that Kendrick’s success was a “moment.” “Everything is a moment. Kendrick had his moment. Six months, he’s the man. Then he [did] Super Bowl, he’s the man,” Whoo Kid explained.

In contrast, the legendary DJ said that Drake’s often used patience as a tool and it shows in his longevity. “As you can see, where has hip-hop been? There’s no Billboard chart, there’s no nothing,” he continued, acknowledging that Max B, French Montana and Sexyy Red might be an exception to that. “I’m not an expert in this. I know when [Drake’s] here, we’re on the charts,” he added.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Moment” Vs. Drake’s Longevity, According To Whoo Kid

Whoo Kid’s assessment lines up with recent headlines regarding hip-hop’s drop from the Hot 100 recently. A few weeks ago, fans realized that the last hip-hop song in the Billboard Hot 100 was Drake’s “What Did I Miss.” Since then, it’s been sorely lacking. Meanwhile, people like Fat Joe, Talib Kweli and The Game have echoed similar sentiments regarding Drake’s dominance. Check out the clip above and sound off in the comment section below.

Foolio’s murder took place on  June 23, 2024. If you remember, the artist was allegedly ambushed at a hotel where he was celebrating his birthday. Since that time, a woman named Alicia Andrews was found guilty of manslaughter. Andrews has not yet been sentenced as she currently awaits the status of a recent appeal.

With the trial marching forward, prosecutors are making their case and presenting new pieces of alleged evidence to the courtroom. For instance, this week, the prosecution presented a video of alleged killer Sean Gathright, pacing around the police interrogation room.

As you can see in the footage below, there is a blanket on the table, suggesting that Gathright had been in there for a while. Furthermore, he can be seen climbing on the table to make an escape through the ceiling.

Foolio Murder Trial Continues

During the trial, defendant Davion Murphy alleged that his grandmother had a heart attack upon hearing Foolio’s diss tracks towards him. Furthermore, there was a moment just a few weeks ago in which one of the defendants could be seen laughing in court.

All four men are in the midst of being tried at the same time, and face decades in prison if convicted. At this time, it is unknown how long the trial will go on for. However, the prosecution appears keen on taking its time building its case.

This is a story we will continue to follow over the coming days and weeks.

At the core of the lawsuit are claims that the promises of the features marketed as part of the memecoin weren’t entirely truthful. The false advertising, plaintiff Christopher Smith claims, essentially duped investors into buying the coin, which reportedly surged to a $200M market cap. However, the report claims that the coin has reportedly collapsed to roughly a $1M market cap– a 99.5% collapse of value.

“MOTHER’s market appeal was not based on technology, a whitepaper, or decentralized governance. Rather, it was based on Azalea’s personal celebrity, image, and brand. Every promotional act reinforced the message that MOTHER was authenticated by and inseparable from Azalea herself,” reads the complaint.

The lawsuit adds that the coin’s price also included “the market’s assessment of the represented utility, integrations, and institutional support.” It argues that the price collapsed because the features that added value to the coin never materialized or were delivered. “For purchasers, the primary harm was overpayment: they paid more for MOTHER than they otherwise would have paid absent Azalea’s utility, integration, and market-support representations,” the lawsuit reads.

This was certainly the case over the weekend as Drake was spotted filming what appeared to be a music video in Toronto. He could be seen on the back of a moving flatbed truck, adorned in a cozy, ICEMAN-inspired outfit. This has subsequently led to speculation that a new single could be coming soon. After all, it would make sense for Drake to drop something before the release of his album.

Earlier this week, there were rumblings on social media that Drake was gearing up to record a music video at the CN Tower. The CN Tower is one of the biggest landmarks in Toronto, so it would only make sense for the artist to film there.

Well, new footage is being circulated by Kurrco, and it is giving credence to the idea that Drake has been hanging around the infamous Toronto building.

Drake Prepares ICEMAN

In the footage above, you can clearly see a silhouette moving around the tower’s upper floors. This kind of scene is quite rare. Consequently, the theory is that the silhouette is Drake, and that this is all part of his latest video shoot.

Drake has been preparing for the release of ICEMAN for quite some time. His ice sculpture from a few weeks ago led to his release date announcement. Furthermore, he has updated the Drake-Related website to contain references to ICEMAN.

This is all very exciting for fans of the Canadian megastar, who has not dropped a solo album since 2023’s For All The Dogs. This will also be Drake’s first solo project since the beef with Kendrick Lamar. Needless to say, this could very well be the most important album of the artist’s career.

Brunson scored 30 points en route to a comfortable Knicks win, but the icy blue Kobe 3 Low on his feet was equally hard to ignore. The Knicks are rolling right now, and Brunson keeps showing up with another exclusive pair to match the moment.

On his podcast with teammate Josh Hart, Brunson previously hinted that he had “one more” PE to debut during the playoffs. Whether this icy pair was the one he was referring to is unclear which means there could still be more coming.

Brunson has essentially become Nike’s most important active Kobe athlete. He turned down a signature shoe specifically to stay in Kobe’s line, and Nike has rewarded that loyalty with a steady stream of exclusive colorways. His “Statue of Liberty” Kobe 6 eventually hit retail and sold out quickly, so there’s already hope this icy Kobe 3 Low follows the same path.

For now, it’s a playoff PE built for MSG and Brunson and the Knicks are showing no signs of stopping.

Jalen Brunson’s Kobe 3s

The Jalen Brunson Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Ice Blue” PE features an icy gradient across the upper, starting with an ocean blue at the toe that gradually fades to translucent teal and then white toward the heel.

Matching aqua laces and a translucent outsole keep the frozen theme consistent from top to bottom, while deep blue Kobe branding appears on the tongue and heel for contrast. Theatmolded pattern that defines the Kobe 3 Low’s upper runs throughout, giving the shoe its signature texture.

The colorway calls back to Brunson’s “Statue of Liberty” Kobe 6, sharing similar turquoise tones while centering the gradient effect more aggressively across the whole shoe. No retail release has been confirmed yet.

He has been in the news for a plethora of financial and relationship issues. In fact, he has since pivoted to the world of live streaming. Live streaming in 2026 has become a cesspool. While you still have your legacy guys like ImDontai, Kai Cenat, and YourRAGE, others only exist to invade the algorithm. Unfortunately, Broner has taken the latter path.

Just last week, the former boxer went viral for making numerous women uncomfortable while live. He would follow up rejection with bizarre and threatening rants. Fans remarked just how frightened the women appeared to be. On Tuesday night, Broner scared another woman after demanding she pay an alleged $500 debt.

Broner’s ex-wife, Arie Nicole, saw clips from the live stream on social media, and decided to take action. She donated $3 to the stream, and hit Broner with a reality check in the process.

Adrien Broner Gets A Reality Check

In the clip above, Arie Nicole tells Broner that he is making women uncomfortable, and that it needs to stop. She also urged him to stop drinking and to “handle his liquor.” Arie Nicole also made sure to mention that Broner’s behavior could have a negative impact on their daughter.

Arie Nicole closed out the message by telling Broner that he is the “worst thing” to come into her life. Broner seemed to shrug off the messages, although there is no denying that the reality check caught people’s attention.

If one thing is for certain, it is that live streaming has become a net-negative for a lot of celebrities.
