Quotable Lyrics from No Jewelry

She wanna fuck me with my ice on, her clothes, she come up out it
Lights off, it’s still so bright in the room, I still can see her body
Peepholes, screen doors, I still can see up out it

It is a documentary that has received quite a bit of history. EDP445 admits to being attracted to minors in the doc; however, the documentary also takes a more humorous approach to the subject matter. Viewers didn’t like this tone, as they felt like it completely normalizes EDP and his mindset.

As it turns out, the documentary did lead to at least one positive outcome. According to Fox58, the Kern County District Attorney’s Office has reopened a case against EDP from 2021. This file involves the infamous sting operation that was posted by Alex Rosen online. EDP445 was caught trying to message a 13-year-old girl, who was actually a decoy.

“We are re-examining the case in light of the statements made by the suspect in the documentary,” the DA’s office revealed.

EDP445 Under Investigation

Mike Clum says he tried to get the DA’s office to speak in the documentary, but they refused to do so. Given the fact that they had originally closed the case, it makes sense that they would decline an interview.

“So while he didn’t face any Legal consequences due to the way the sting operation was handled, he received a massive amount of public backlash and was getting fired from jobs,” Clum said.

EDP445’s comments in this new documentary are disgusting, to say the least. There has been widespread internet backlash, and Kern County was certainly feeling the pressure to take another look at what went on here.

This remains a developing story.

Despite this, Durk and his team have expressed confidence in the defense and their ability to ensure his freedom. Ahead of the trial, his father, Dontay Banks, shared a message on social media asking fans and friends to keep them in their prayers. 

“Tomorrow is that day we all been looking for, so Alhamdulillah, man, continue to keep us in prayer. Continue to shower your love and your support on us,” he said. “We ask everyone to continue to be there for us. This is gonna be a 3-4 week trial, Alhamdulillah, and don’t let a day go past that you don’t make Dua for us, that you don’t pray for us, and we will be victorious in the end. Inshallah.”

Lil Durk currently faces charges related to murder-for-hire including conspiracy, murder-for-hire resulting in death, and firearms offenses. The charges stem from the alleged targeted shooting of Quando Rondo in California which left his cousin, Lul Pab, dead. The evidence in the case, however, includes a lot of media involving Durk. In one text message, Durk allegedly rejected a peace offering. In another, he reportedly stated that he had the location on Quando Rondo just weeks after King Von’s death. 

We will keep you posted on any further updates in Lil Durk’s case. Check out Dontay Banks’ post above.

While Blue wanted nothing to do with his ex just a few months ago, he appears to have changed his tune. It makes sense when you consider just how many eyeballs follow the former couple. Whenever Chrisean appears on stream, the numbers go up. This rage bait angers his current girlfriend, Nevaeh, which leads to more confrontation, and again, more views.

Nevaeh recently gave birth to their first child, a son named Jonathan Jr. At this time, Nevaeh is back home nursing their baby boy. Unfortunately, what should be a supportive time for Nevaeh has turned into a nightmare as Blueface continues to provoke her with Chrisean talk.

Blueface And Nevaeh Continue To Argue

In multiple clips posted to social media, Nevaeh could be seen and heard confronting Blueface for sleeping with Chrisean Rock. It is a conversation they have had before, but it is clearly bothering the new mother.

Subsequently, in other clips, Blueface can be seen provoking Nevaeh and giving very little consideration to her thoughts and feelings on the matter. All of these conversations are being served up for fans to consume as content.

At this time, Blueface’s Kick enterprise is one of the largest on the platform. He has taken the baton from the likes of DeenTheGreat and Adrien Broner, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. Nevertheless, Kick is a lot more lax on its rules than Twitch, and Blueface is taking full advantage.

These live music and entertainment venues were created as part of a partnership between Drake and Live Nation. Overall, the goal is to create upscale venues that artists can be proud to perform in. Furthermore, these venues have a modest capacity of 2000 people, which allows smaller artists to experience a luxurious scene for their concerts.

On Wednesday evening, Drake spoke about HISTORY and just how much he loves this project. He also thanked Live Nation for their support amid this endeavor.

Drake Speaks On The Significance of HISTORY

“A venue for outstanding artists and the incredible fan bases that seek that communal family experience. Thank you to Live Nation for giving me the continued trust on a journey that I hope is shared with every city and country worldwide,” Drake wrote. “These venues are where our stories are born, elevated, shared, and hopefully revisited. I will be there to drop off my personal touch to Ottawa soon. In creating this I think about every artist that had to play a venue and ask themselves, “is this what making it feels like?” because I know we respect all the heritage and all the years of inheritance but hope to create a better experience for our budding artists moving forward.”

In his post, Drake used the song “Ottawa” by Nine Vicious. It is an appropriate song to use, albeit a controversial choice in artist. Just a couple of days ago, Nine Vicious stormed off stage in Phoenix after ripping a security guard’s headset and hat off.

Meanwhile, Nine Vicious has been in multiple back-and-forths with Young Thug amid confusion over his status with YSL. Given this history, he is an interesting artist for Drake to co-sign. That said, the music has been undeniable.

Going forward, HISTORY has the potential to become one of the largest venue chains in Canada.

There are close to 200 witnesses that could end up on the stand. The prosecution and the defense still have a lot of work to do, and this week is just the beginning. In fact, it has been a chaotic week in court. Just a couple of days ago, a shooting occurred down the street from the Las Vegas courtroom. Meanwhile, James McDonald, AKA Mob James, turned out to be a hostile witness.

Interestingly enough, Keefe D wasn’t so sure what McDonald was going to do on the stand. So much so that it appears as though he called the man a “f*ckin rat” under his breath as he entered the courtroom. The moment was captured on camera.

Keefe D Looks On During Tupac Trial

In the end, McDonald had very little interest in saying much of anything. Mob James is a former Piru member who used to work security for Death Row Records. Despite his rivalry with Keefe D, he made it clear to the court that he would not help Davis get convicted.

“I’m aware of a lot of things. Things that was going on. People ain’t talked about it in 30 years. Today ain’t one of them,” McDonald said. “I don’t want to send him to prison even though we don’t like each other.”

During Day 3 of the trial on Wednesday, the court heard audio of Keefe D telling law enforcement that Diddy had put money on the heads of Tupac and Suge Knight. An FBI investigation ensued, but nothing came of it.

Keefe D has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and faces life in prison if convicted.

Earlier this week, a person by the name of cyberleek started posting clips of the game to social media. Lots of AI slop was being passed off as leaks in the lead-up to Rockstar Games’ August 27 Netflix showcase. That said, the latest footage from cyberleek is 100 percent authentic.

It should be noted that this is not the final version of the game. Instead, it appears to be an Alpha build from a few years ago. This means there are still lots of things that could change. Graphics, lighting, gameplay physics, and even the UI are all things that are subject to refinements by Rockstar Games.

Regardless, fans are amazed at the sheer scale of the map, something that can be seen in a recent video showing off airplane mechanics. Other videos are showing off the weapons as well as the driving and carjacking elements.

GTA 6 Leaks Hit The Timeline

The Netflix showcase on August 27 is supposed to be an “Extended Look” that will play out like some sort of television show. At this time, it is unclear what Rockstar Games plans on showing off.

Unfortunately, the entire game is at risk of being leaked before then. The leaker shot the words “leek” into a wall in one of the videos, which proves they have a playable build of the game.

Rockstar Games has yet to acknowledge the leaks, although they are becoming difficult to ignore.

The sneaker mixes a slim, streamlined upper with a super chunky, stacked sole. Three thin racing stripes cut across the side in black and blue, set against an off white base. It’s a sharp contrast from the more maximalist look fans have come to expect from his recent Adidas work.

This isn’t the first sighting either. Pharrell first debuted the shoe just days earlier with Quavo at Disneyland. He was teasing it during their run of promo for an upcoming collab album. No release date or pricing has been confirmed yet, but appearances in suggest Adidas is building toward something official.

Pusha T and Pharrell have been closely linked for a while, most recently when Pusha presented Pharrell with the Shoe of the Year award at the Footwear News Achievement Awards. Seeing him get an early look at the next project fits that ongoing relationship.

Pharrell Rocks New Adidas Shoe

This new silhouette lands right in the middle of a packed year for Pharrell’s Three Stripes output. The Adistar Jellyfish has dominated headlines with its oversized, maximalist build, while the Vario Flat Earther and Virginia Watermoc have pulled things in a more slimmed down direction.

This latest shoe seems to split the difference between those two lanes. The thin upper leans into the flatter, low profile trend, while the chunky sole keeps a foot in the bulkier shoes he’s known for lately.

It also lines up with a broader move across Adidas as a whole, with the brand leaning further into stacked, exaggerated soles on other recent releases. For Pharrell, it’s another sign that his design run with Adidas shows no signs of slowing down.

Pharrell’s partnership with Adidas has stretched back over a decade at this point. Few designers have stayed this active with one brand for this long, and this new silhouette shows he’s still finding fresh design.

According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, E Feezy had been brought aboard to DJ during Timbaland’s portion of the tour and says the arrangement called for $4,000 per performance, amounting to $120,000. He claims he began preparing accordingly, including rehearsing the planned set, securing authorization to work in Canada and paying related legal expenses. E Feezy also says he declined other work because he expected to spend July and August on the road.

Not Totally About Nepotism, But Breaking A Binding Agreement

That preparation became part of his damages claim after he was dismissed shortly before the tour’s launch. E Feezy alleges Timbaland’s son ultimately replaced him, leading the DJ to characterize the move as nepotism. The accusation may explain why he believes he was removed, but the larger legal dispute centers on whether E Feezy had a binding agreement and whether money became owed after his services were no longer needed.

The disagreement apparently did not end with the firing. E Feezy says the parties subsequently reached a settlement, only for Timbaland to fail to honor its terms. He is now claiming approximately $130,000 in damages, a figure TMZ reports includes the tour income he expected to receive along with expenses associated with obtaining his Canadian work authorization.

Timbaland is reportedly contesting that account from multiple angles. He has asked that the lawsuit be dismissed, arguing that there was no enforceable deal matching the arrangement described by E Feezy. He has also filed a complaint against his former manager, whom he says handled the negotiations with the DJ. Timbaland’s position is that if E Feezy is ultimately entitled to recover money over those dealings, responsibility should fall on the former manager rather than him.

E Feezy’s complaint now asks a court to determine whether his preparations for that run were backed by an agreement Timbaland and Mosley Touring were obligated to honor. Timbaland maintains they were not, leaving the existence and enforceability of the alleged deal at the center of the case.
