Got a couple shooters in my payroll,
Tec in a Faygo, neck in a Range Rove,
Walking through the flames with my chain on,
Gold slugs on my teeth with a cape on

Quotable Lyrics from Disrespectfully

I’m on a fast lane to greatness, b***h, I’m not finna cruise,
I’m the top dog like SZA, but I’m not finna snooze,
Might hit up Elliott for a sponsorship, I’m dropping the jewels,
Learned how to stay afloat myself like I was dropped in a pool

“At the end of the day.. the last 15 years of rap music it’s only been about 2 n***as everyone else don’t matter… DRAKE. KANYE,” he wrote on the social media platform last night (Saturday, September 26). Ye is still an influence for many young artists and changed the hip-hop landscape, whereas Drizzy’s own influence is even more present today and in harmony with his commercial dominance.

But fans clapped back at Ak with plenty of artists he left out of the conversation, whether it’s Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, Future, Chief Keef, Travis Scott, and many others. It opened up the doors for fan debate about whether the “Glow” duo had a hand in influencing and elevating all those careers. Akademiks’ argument may be simplistic and reductive, but the sheer scale of these artists makes it understandable from a narrow point of view.

DJ Akademiks Praises Kanye West & Drake

DJ Akademiks has arguably been Drake’s biggest media supporter for years and years now, a dynamic that was apparent even before the K.Dot battle really kicked things into high gear for the general public. While that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have criticisms of the 6ix God here and there, he has become more and more embroiled in OVO, much to the joy or dismay of fans and haters.

On the other hand, DJ Akademiks’ persistent defense of Kanye West amid his controversies and bigotries reflect a long-standing admiration of his artistry and space in hip-hop culture. He was one of the few media figures to interview Ye amid the massive backlash to his antisemitism and other remarks, a decision he does not regret.

Fans React

With that in mind, this claim about rap relevance in the past 15 years should come as no surprise. If there are any two artists who deserve such a bold title, it might just be them. But even the most hardcore fans of these artists wouldn’t go that far.

The track appeared on Cam’s Come Home With Me album. Daz spoke on receiving royalties for his production of “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” to this day. “If anybody in this world say, ‘I won’t deny it,’ or say, ‘Ambitions of a rider,’ anything, in their song, we get that,” he remarked. “That’s a sample clearance for me.” Dillinger pointed to samples by DeJ Loaf, The Game, Meek Mill, and Lil Wayne as examples.

He later shouted out Kyambo “Hip-Hop” Joshua, who was at Roc-A-Fella and had hit Daz up to do some music at Baseline Studios in New York. Killa Cam greeted Dillinger, who later recreated the “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” beat for him to use. But apparently, Knight got in the way.

“Suge Knight was harassing motherf***ers at Roc-A-Fella, so they didn’t give me my credit as a producer. They gave it to somebody else to finish up the music,” Daz Dillinger remarked. “We laid all that down… I’m like, ‘Damn. What happened?'”

Cam’ron’s Suge Knight Story

Then, Daz confirmed Cam’ron’s story about Suge Knight confronting him over the beat. But he claimed Suge didn’t have the right control over the music to make a decision in the first place. “He didn’t have nothing to do with. He was already bankrupt, he was out of it already,” Dillinger expressed. Daz also claimed a music executive was working with Suge under the table at the time.

For those unaware, here’s what Cam said about the alleged confrontation. “He came over with probably six, seven people, and was just basically like, ‘Yo, what’s up?'” he said on It Is What It Is. “And I’m like, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ and I didn’t think of it as no confrontation or anything. But then he went into a spill and he was like, ‘Yo, you owe money.’ I was like, ‘Owe you money for what?’ He was like, ‘You using one of my beats?'” Apparently, once Daz Dillinger’s name came up, the situation quickly diffused. But the version of this story has changed over time.

In the video, the Philly MC jabs and weaves their way with a trainer, showing off their quickness, reflexes, and steadiness. Many folks in the comments had impressed reactions to the display. Also, many of them referenced Lil Uzi Vert’s previous beefs, urging the artist’s foes to steer clear.

The most obvious of these feuds is Uzi’s conflict with Rich The Kid, as Uzi infamously ran up on Rich to settle their beef back in 2018. Some folks also referenced Lil Yachty when it comes to these feuds, but those beef rumors are not heavily supported. While the 2016 XXL Freshmen have had speculation about them floating around for a while, both artists have previously downplayed any real tension or conflict.

Lil Uzi Vert’s Next Album

Either way, this boxing training footage goes to show anyone looking for a fight will have a hard time securing victory. Hopefully this is the focused and motivated energy the 31-year-old is bringing to the studio ahead of their next album.

Lil Uzi Vert dropped the Maverick “Almost Forever” EP earlier this year, which yielded mixed results when it comes to reception. Many fans appreciated the shorter tracklist and their penchant for catchiness and fun. But others slammed the project as one of Uzi’s worst yet. This follows meager-at-best reception to records like Eternal Atake 2, so a lot is riding on this next full-length to bounce back.

Throughout this light rollout process, Uzi has shown off a lot of weaponry-related imagery for what many fans presume will be the full Maverick album. There are a lot of references to conflict, which have some die-hards feeling curious. But hitting the gym and developing one’s boxing game represent discipline and self-betterment above all else, which is exactly what Uzi fans want to hear on whatever comes next.

“My brada forever,” Jeffery responded in the comments section, as caught by No Jumper on IG. “never ever said nun bout bro even when he called me gay publicly, my sons called me and asked me was I gay cause of that nard. U no I would’ve died bout that boy, I no he know that. Players f**k up.”

It’s unclear exactly what context led to this interaction. Still, it heartened fans to see Thug show love to Quan, even if it’s a bittersweet display when considering his passing.

Rich Homie Quan & Young Thug’s Fallout

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

For those unaware, Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug’s dynamic soured at some point around 2015 after establishing themselves as one of the defining duos of the 2010s. The fallout was due to conflicting solo priorities and rumors of tension, although they never egged the conflict on themselves.

Young Thug addressed the Rich Homie Quan controversy at various points in the past, with even Quan’s family stepping in to push back on his narratives. It’s still very complex, but these interactions show the friendship stands tall above all else. Still, fans continue to lament what could’ve been. We’ll see if we get more context to these comments soon, or if more revelations will follow.

“If Drake wanted to make his porn debut with my wife, it would be pretty selfish of me to be like, ‘No, I don’t want you to do what would obviously be the biggest porn scene of all time,'” he remarked, as caught by Jude on Twitter. “That being said, we have seen Drake’s d**k. Not me and you, but the world has seen it. I’ve seen other angles of it from other girls, [on their phones]. I couldn’t believe it. Before that came out.

“This porn star girl I know, I walk in the room, and Lena and her are both sitting together, looking at her phone,” Adam continued. “I go, ‘What?’ Lena immediately turns red when she looks at me. She’s like, ‘Oh my God, don’t show him, he’s going to tell everybody.’ Which, here I am. She just showed me her phone, and it’s a big-a** light-skin c**k. I’m like, ‘That’s Drake?’ She’s like, ‘Yeah.’ I’m like, ‘Bulls**t.’ She f***ing exits out of it and shows me, scrolling through the whole Instagram DM, goes through his page. I’m like, ‘Okay.’ He’s strong in the c**k department.”

Drake & Lena The Plug

For those unaware, Drake and Lena The Plug’s recent interactions resulted in a lot of jokes at Adam22’s expense. She threw her wedding ring away at the “20v1” with the 6ix God and took a “hall pass” signed by Adam. Also, after Lena appeared in the “FOMO” short film, she said she “cashed in” the hall pass and teased a “shoot” with the Toronto superstar in a video.

Elsewhere, Adam22 is facing potential legal action after his comments about Chrisean Rock and her son made her blast him online. We will see how that plays out, and if Drizzy or Lena The Plug respond to these latest comments.

The model and real estate agent responded to a fan who called her gorgeous and said they see what Ross sees in her. “He saw a punching bag,” she wrote, as caught by Livebitez on Instagram. Then, Kendrick posted images of her with a bruised lip, accusing the rapper of being responsible.

“The day Rick busted my lip and the day I left,” she wrote, adding more in subsequent IG Story posts. “I don’t know a lot of things, but I do know that a man that puts his hands on me, is a man that never loved me and never will. It’s always good until it isn’t. If a man hits you one time, he will do it again. Don’t give him the opportunity. Value your life and leave. [red heart emoji] [praying hands emoji]”

The G-Unit mogul caught Jazzma Kendrick’s allegations on Instagram and responded by clowning Rick Ross before shifting the conversation to the serious accusations at hand. “This punk put his put his hands on baby girl, he stressed that album didn’t sell. I’d laugh at him, but domestic violence is not a joke,” he wrote.

Via IG, 2Cool2Blog shared 50’s response and Rozay’s most recent Instagram Story post as of writing this article. He was reportedly hanging out in Las Vegas when his ex girlfriend made her allegations online, and didn’t respond to any of it. At press time, Rick Ross hasn’t responded to Kendrick’s claims.

For those unaware, Rick Ross and Jazzma Kendrick started dating last year, and were together as recently as July 2026. Fans scrutinized their romance for a lack of public PDA, and it became part of the rapper’s conflicts with others like 50 Cent on social media.

Rick Ross and 50 Cent’s feud is well-documented, so Fif’s response should come as no surprise. We’ll see if the former couple has anything else to say about this.

Yellow croc-textured leather covers most of the upper, giving the shoe a glossy finish from toe to heel. Matching mesh, wings, laces, and midsoles keep the color-blocking simple, letting that reptile texture carry most of what makes this sneaker pop. The design symbolizes the yellow crocodiles that can be found throughout the Amazon.

There are also a few personal touches round out the design too. Lace dubraes read “Just Do It” on one shoe and “Solo Hazlo” on the other, keeping that bilingual detail consistent with Balvin’s past releases. J Balvin and Jumpman branding both appear on the heels, alongside additional debossed detailing worked into the upper.

Splitting the release between Balvin’s own site and a wider launch a few days later gives dedicated fans first access before the shoe reaches a broader audience.

J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 “Amazonas”

“Amazonas” continues Balvin’s pattern of building each release around something personal tied to his home country. Past pairs have leaned on Medellin sunsets, his son Rio, and now the natural wildlife of the Amazon itself.

This marks his 4th model working through Jordan Brand’s early signature lineup, following the Air Jordan 1, 2, and 3. Each release has followed that same numerical progression, giving the partnership a clear sense of structure over the years.

Given how consistently Balvin’s Jordan releases sell out, expect strong demand once “Amazonas” hits both release windows. For collectors who’ve followed this partnership since 2020, this one adds another sneaker to a growing collection.

Overall J Balvin is really starting to cement his name in the sneaker world. This release is going to be big, and fans will continue to pay attention to whatever shoe he tackles next.

Bright yellow suede covers most of the upper, with black classic three stripes cutting across the side for contrast. A tan and olive tongue rounds out the design, tied together with cream rope laces that match the shoe’s vintage feel. “Adidas Benito” branding sits on the lateral side, marking this as part of Bad Bunny’s ongoing collection.

A gum outsole finishes the look, staying true to the Gazelle Indoor’s classic visual roots. That warm, earthy color palette gives the shoe a distinct feel compared to some of Bad Bunny’s louder past colorways.

This isn’t a brand new design either. “Solar Gold” first surfaced in leaked images back in early 2025 before disappearing from release calendars entirely for well over a year. Seeing it return now should excite fans who assumed it was shelved for good.

Bad Bunny x Adidas Gazelle Indoor “Solar Gold”

Bad Bunny’s relationship with Adidas has grown into one of the more consistent artist collaborations in sneakers. The Gazelle Indoor alone has already seen several colorways, including “Black/White,” “San Juan,” and a Puerto Rico-exclusive “Vega Baja.”

That steady rollout has helped keep the partnership feeling active, rather than leaning on just one or two big releases a year. Beyond the Gazelle, Bad Bunny has also worked with Adidas across the Forum, Campus, Ballerina, and F50 lines.

Losing track of “Solar Gold” for so long only adds a bit of intrigue to this release. Pairs that sit in limbo tend to build extra anticipation once they finally get a confirmed date, especially after fans assumed the design had quietly been scrapped.

Given how well past Gazelle Indoor drops have performed, expect this one to move quickly once October rolls around, particularly with Bad Bunny’s fanbase still hunting down every colorway in the lineup.
