Authorities originally arrested Ortiz shortly after the attack, in which she allegedly fired 10 shots at Rihanna’s property from her car. The singer and her partner, A$AP Rocky, hid inside a camper in the driveway during the incident.

Overall, Ortiz faces one count of attempted murder, 10 felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and three felony counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman explained the charges in a press conference days after the shooting. “Rihanna was there with her partner, her three children, her mother, and two staff people, representing eight of the 10 of the counts of dealing with an assault with a semi-automatic firearm,” he said at the time. “In addition, Ms. Ortiz is accused of firing at a neighboring residence that had two additional individuals.”

It’s unclear exactly why Ivanna Lisette Ortiz would’ve wanted to shoot Rihanna, but shortly after her arrest, several of her concerning Facebook posts began going viral on social media. “@badgalriri Are you there? Cause I was waiting for your AIDS 5-head self to say something to me directly instead of sneaking around like you talking to me where I’m not at,” she wrote in one of them.

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell confirmed that authorities were later aware of her bizarre social media posts. “My understanding is the person drove here from Florida. How long they’ve been in the area … I don’t have that information,” he said. “They’re working on that. That would be part of the whole motive, why the person came out here. We haven’t established a motive, we do know, and are aware of, social media posts that had been made that they’re looking into further.”

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Travis Scott x Air Jordan CJ1 T-REXX “Green Spark” is going to release on March 28th, 2026.

The CJ1 T-REXX marks a significant moment for Travis Scott and Jordan Brand. It is his first fully original Jordan silhouette built from the ground up. That alone makes this release historically significant within the Cactus Jack catalog. The “Green Spark” colorway gives it an unmistakable visual identity right out of the gate.

Scott first debuted this exact pair courtside at a Boston Celtics game. The green colorway felt like a deliberate nod to the home crowd that night. Whether intentional or not, the moment stuck in the culture’s memory instantly. Seeing official images now confirms the public is about to get their hands on them.

Cactus Jack drops tend to move extremely fast across all platforms. Secondary market prices are expected to climb significantly above retail immediately. This is the kind of drop that rewards those who are ready and prepared.

Travis Scott x Air Jordan CJ1 T-REXX “Green Spark”

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan CJ1 T-REXX “Green Spark” is unlike anything else in the Jordan Brand lineup. The silhouette is entirely new and designed from scratch with Scott’s creative input.

Electric green leather dominates the upper with bold, unapologetic energy throughout. Black perforated overlays across the midfoot add contrast and visual depth to the design. Also a pale Swoosh sits quietly against the louder green panels surrounding it.

The Cactus Jack logo is on the ankle strap in matching green tones. Scott’s signature smiley face appears on the heel in white. A sculptured green outsole wraps the entire bottom of the shoe dramatically. The custom brown “Jack T-REXX” shoe box adds another collectible layer to the whole package.

Further, the retail price of the sneakers is expected to be $205 when they drop.

“I was in my first car crash while listening to Drake,” he admitted. “I crashed into a house. I was 16, I was dropping my brother off for a football game at the school. So, I took my mom’s car and dropped him off and I was coming back around this corner. I was going like 90 in a 20 in a suburban area. I had some food my mom made for me, and I thought I knew the neighborhood. This turn came up, and it was a full 180. I thought it was a 90, it was a full 180.”

He continued: “So, I came off this corner. There’s a hedge and a house in front of me and I’m going 90. I can’t even stop and my food started falling in the car. So, I went to go grab the food. I still was hungry. Thank God I’m still alive. There was a giant metal poll that I just missed by a foot. I would’ve went straight 90 into a poll and been dead for sure. But I swerved a little bit, and my car was in mid-air for three seconds. I went through two hedges. There was a whole car imprint, and then I landed in the living room, and they were sitting down at the couch watching TV.”

Even Kanye was heaven-sent / We all have been sent / Donald too. We all heaven-sent / Epstein too / We all heaven-sent / Adolph too. We all heaven-sent / Even you, we all heaven-sent,” he raps.

The backlash was immediate, but according to the San Francisco Chronicle, he has at least one person in his corner. His mother, Yvette McDonald, has planned a rally to support him amid the controversy. It’s scheduled to take place today (March 25) at 2 p.m. in South Vallejo.

LaRussell “Heaven Sent” Controversy

News of McDonald’s rally for her son arrives shortly after LaRussell announced his decision to leave social media in response to the scandal. He delivered the big news in a text blast to his fans, indicating that he’ll be providing them with updates via different channels for the time being.

“I’ll be off the grid for a while just working on myself and being in my community. I’ve been online every single day spreading my message to the masses for the past 5 years! I’m tiiiirrred boss!” he wrote. “I would still love to have your support during this time offline. I’ll still be throwing shows and finding out new ways to push my product. You may see more text and emails from me than usual.”

Before that, he defended his song in various tweets, making it abundantly clear that he stands by his work.

Stefon Diggs & Cardi B’s Relationship

While Diggs has fathered several children over the years, he was most recently in a relationship with Cardi B. In turn, when LiveBitez shared his mother’s comment on Instagram, some fans assumed she was taking a shot at the rapper. Others argued that Cardi is already individually wealthy from her music career.

She and Diggs split just days before the New England Patriots squared off against the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. While they kept quiet about the breakup, fans later theorized that some of her comments from a performance on the Little Miss Drama tour were a shot at the NFL star. “You can’t be out here playing with a b**** like me. There’s n***** out here praying for a b**** like me,” Cardi said on stage. “I’m too sexy to be lonely and too grown to be played with n****. Who you playin’ with mothaf****?! … None of them b*****s f*****g with me.”

Cardi later clarified on X (formerly Twitter) that she wasn’t talking about Diggs. “Dear blogs, when I perform a song I always introduce the song with a lil razzle dazzle,” she explained. “Not everything is a shot or personal. I’m actually repeating lyrics from the songs…Relax.”

Why Is Maino Beefing With 50 Cent?

Before that, he dropped off “Bleed Like Us,” a diss track aimed at 50 Cent. It features references to the mogul’s domestic violence allegations, 2000 shooting, and more.

“Be careful when you come at me, n***a, you couldn’t humble me / Why the ones you beef with end up in fed custody? / 50 ways to catch a killer, is that your energy? / Only Black men, no white men, is your enemy?” he raps.

He continues, “Only white kids in the ‘burbs thought you was gangsta / We f*cked with you ’cause of your story, thought you was like us / Just to find out this whole time you was the wanksta.”

Fif dropped a diss track of his own just days ahead of the release. In it, he slammed Maino and his Let’s Rap About It podcast co-hosts Jim Jones, Dave East, and Fabolous. Their beef stems from some comments about 50 Cent’s Diddy docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, earlier this year. On the podcast, Jones labeled the doc a “mockumentary,” resulting in weeks of relentless online trolling.

At a recent backyard performance, LaRussell introduced a song called “Heaven Sent” with a warning. He told the crowd his engineer didn’t think it should be released, but performed it anyway. In the song, he named himself, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. as “heaven-sent.” A few lines later, he said the same about Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and Adolf Hitler.

“I’m not perfect, and neither is the president / What’s guiltier than a n*gga hiding evidence? / You can’t be mad that they heated if you don’t let them vent / Even the devil was heaven-sent.”

The clip didn’t need time to travel. It moved quickly, and so did the response. For a lot of people, the issue wasn’t confusion but recognition. They understood what he was trying to say. They just didn’t agree with how he chose to say it.

What LaRussell Meant Vs What People Heard

LaRussell didn’t leave much ambiguity about his intent. After the clip began circulating, he addressed the backlash directly. He said his point was spiritual. In his view, everyone comes from God. That includes figures people revere, and figures people condemn. From that standpoint, calling someone “heaven-sent” was about origin, not approval.

“Y’all been complicit in supporting serial killers, murderers, drug dealers, pimps, and n*ggas destroying the community for yeeeeaaaars!!!!” he wrote on social media. “But me saying God made me and he also made these sick ass n*ggas is where the line is drawn?”

The pushback wasn’t rooted in confusion. People understood the argument. What they rejected was how it was delivered. Once Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. were placed in the same line as Adolf Hitler and Jeffrey Epstein, the phrase “heaven-sent” stopped reading as abstract and started to feel like a leveling of harm. That distinction mattered to listeners who heard something different than what LaRussell intended.

Writers and commentators focused on the language itself. “Heaven-sent” carries an implication. It suggests purpose and even a form of divine placement. Applied to figures responsible for genocide or systemic abuse, it doesn’t land as neutral theology. It lands as a distortion, and still, LaRussell positioned the backlash as “fake outrage.”

“The homies briefed me yesterday on all the outrage. My first thought was, ‘n****s ain’t that slow.’ But I go and look, and n****s that slow. Just listen to the music. It’s no way n****s hear to that clip, and they like, ‘You support Epstein.'”

Rappers and independent artists pushed back in a different way. Some questioned why that comparison needed to exist in the first place. Others pointed out that invoking Malcolm and Martin in the same breath as Hitler and Epstein forces a false proximity that ignores what those names represent historically.

There were also defenses, but they were quieter. A few listeners argued that LaRussell was speaking about creation, not morality. Even then, the same issue kept surfacing. The language made the idea harder to stand behind. That’s where the divide settled.

Why “Heaven Sent” Collapsed The Moment He Made That Comparison

The problem was never just the phrase. It was the company he put inside it. LaRussell didn’t name a random list of public figures. He brought together Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., two men whose names carry the weight of Black struggle, political sacrifice, surveillance, assassination, and an unfinished fight for liberation. Then he placed Trump, Epstein, and Hitler in that same frame. He also included himself. That matters, too.

Because once those names share the same spiritual language, the comparison starts doing work whether the artist intended it or not. Malcolm and Martin are not simply “famous people who came from God.” They are historical figures whose lives have been used, misused, sanitized, and fought over for decades. Their names are tied to Black resistance, moral courage, state violence, and the cost of speaking against power. Hitler’s name is tied to genocide. Epstein’s to the sexual abuse and trafficking of women and children. Trump, for many people, represents cruelty as policy, racial grievance, immigrant scapegoating, and the mainstreaming of open contempt. These are not neutral references.

So, the issue is not that LaRussell believes everyone was created by God. The concern is that he asked the same phrase to hold radically different kinds of human meaning, then seemed surprised when people rejected the collapse. Language cannot flatten history without consequence.

Once Malcolm and Martin are grouped with Hitler and Epstein, the frame no longer reads as philosophical. It reads as moral compression. It suggests that what separates a freedom fighter from a fascist, or a civil rights leader from a sexual predator, can be absorbed into one broad spiritual idea. For many people listening, that did not sound comprehensive. It dinged careless.

Moreover, people weren’t rejecting complexity. They were deserting a framework that treated names shaped by very different kinds of consequence as though they could all be made legible through the same spiritual shortcut. Some comparisons don’t deepen a conversation. They empty it out.

A Community Artist Who Misread The Room

That kind of collapse doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It lands differently depending on who’s speaking. In this case, the voice came from someone who built his career on closeness. Backyard shows in Vallejo with fans standing within reach. A model that made the process feel visible and shared instead of packaged. It built trust, and, for a long time, that trust was the point. The music mattered, but so did the transparency. The sense that nothing was being filtered before it reached the people listening. That’s what separated this run from the usual independent grind. It felt direct and honest.

Further, the audience isn’t as small as it used to be. The reach has grown. The platform is wider now, with industry alignment entering the picture, including ties to Roc Nation. That changes how moments travel. What might have once stayed local now moves across timelines in minutes, landing in spaces that don’t share the same context or familiarity.

Then, instead of pulling the idea back or clarifying the language, he reinforced it. In follow-up posts, he stood on the same point. Everyone comes from God. That includes people the world sees as evil. The problem, in his view, wasn’t what he said. It was how people chose to hear it. Following the wave of pushback, LaRussell returned to announce that he was taking a hiatus from social media. Quickly, his accounts disappeared.

“I’ll be off the grid for a while just working on myself and being in my community. I’ve been online every single day spreading my message to the masses for the past 5 years! I’m tiiiirrred boss!” he said. “I would still love to have your support during this time offline. I’ll still be throwing shows and finding out new ways to push my product. You may see more text and emails from me than usual.”

The audience LaRussell built his career with doesn’t struggle with nuance. They’ve supported him precisely because he speaks directly, because he doesn’t hide behind abstraction. That’s what made this moment feel off. The clarity that once defined his voice gave way to something looser, something that couldn’t carry the weight of what it was trying to hold.

The idea itself wasn’t new. People have debated questions of good, evil, and everything in between for as long as those words have existed. However, those conversations require precision. They require care and an awareness of what happens when those ideas leave private thought and enter public space. Moreover, his engineer was right about keeping “Heaven Sent” in the drafts, not because they may not have believed in it, but because they sensed that LaRussell’s intention may have landed flat to a wider audience. Some ideas don’t fail because they’re too complex. They fall apart because they’re not grounded enough to be said out loud.

The backlash started immediately, but the following day, the rapper doubled down. “My gay fans, they take care of themselves,” he explained on his Instagram Story. “They ain’t no nasty gay n—as.

DaBaby later issued an apology on Twitter/X, but the damage had already been done. He lost brand deals, was dropped from various festival lineups, and more. He also got called out by several of his celebrity peers for homophobia, misogyny, and spreading misinformation. Now, he says his career still isn’t what it used to be.

During a recent appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast, he revealed that he used to make anywhere from $300K to $500K per show. After the controversy, however, those numbers took a nosedive. Despite the considerable hit to his earnings, DaBaby kept performing, making it clear that he had no intentions of giving up.

“I went back down to like $30K,” he admitted. “I went and got that.”

Usher’s Relationship With Diddy

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

As for Usher’s stance on Diddy, he opened up about the music industry mogul during an interview with Forbes. “I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer,” he said. “I don’t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs. My experience was not what the world has seen and how he’s been, you know, misrepresented.”

“I’m not saying that every man is perfect,” he continued. “I’m not saying that all of us don’t have flaws, but I can’t with any sense of humanity not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as Black entrepreneurs, for us as people who transition culture and ideas into something that’s tangible. So many people benefited from what he created. And I acknowledge that. That’s why I see him as legacy.”

After describing Diddy as a “mentor,” Usher added that he chooses to remember the positive times from his career. “That’s who I see that man as. And that’s what I choose to remember,” he said. “I put respect on his name because I realized that, you know, what I learned as a businessman before I even understood what business was came as a result of seeing the incredible things that he was able to do, and the way he positioned himself as a businessman. There are trials and tribulations that come with the pressures of success and power. But what we choose to do with it is what I hope that you see with me and hopefully other people that I’m involved with, right?”

Diddy has been behind bars since his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution last year.
