In a series of leaked alleged text messages, Adin told the manager that they “should just kiss and make up” to resolve the Blue debacle. The West Coast executive demanded his money, whereas Ross called him a “antisemite homophobe” for not taking his trolls seriously.

That is what they are: just trolls. Adin Ross confirmed this during a phone call with Wack 100 alongside DJ Akademiks. A clip from Ak’s livestream caught by No Jumper on Instagram shows the interaction.

In the clip, Ross jokes with Wack about wanting to go back to Compton, referring to Adin’s West Coast issues in the past. Wack 100 wants to fix this business with Blueface, but Ross maintained that Blue should retract his claims that Adin rigged the Chibu fight.

But when the streamer joked about calling Wack when he’s out of the shower, Wack demanded that he have some clothes on for it. This led Ross to further troll and taunt the manager with his gay claims, and Adin laughed at how Wack tried to respond to the troll. He said he only messaged Wack in that way because he knew he would post them online.

Just in case fans weren’t clear that this is a troll, Adin Ross clarified to Wack 100 that he isn’t gay and is just trolling him. Wack didn’t make a big deal out of it, but he continually tried to center the conversation back to the Blueface boxing controversy.

Basically, Ross claimed that the West Coast MC breached his contract by not wearing a sponsor stamp and talking about financial details. Blueface clapped back by accusing Adin of not paying him his due money, claiming that he never spoke about earnings or payment agreements and that they never agreed to the sponsor stamp. A whole lot of drama has emerged from a loss, which is unsurprising to see.

A white Mercedes coupe with custom multi-spoke wheels sat beneath him. A white Mercedes-Maybach GLS can be seen in the background creating the full luxury picture.

The outfit itself was immaculate from top to bottom. A traditional white thobe with gold buttons and a straight collar finished off the entire look.

Baggy white cargo pants and a crisp white kufi cap kept the cultural roots of the occasion front and center. White leather sneakers with a buckle strap over the laces finished the fit perfectly.

The accessories took everything to another level entirely. A rose gold Patek Philippe with a blue dial sat on his left wrist. Cartier Love bracelets covered both arms in diamonds and rose gold. An oversized heart-shaped diamond ring and diamond studs completed one of the most loaded accessory stacks of the year.

A separate close-up showed four Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks lined up in his hand. Rose gold skeleton, two-tone skeleton, and steel versions were all present. Moneybagg Yo showed up for Eid and reminded everyone exactly where he sits in the culture.

Moneybagg Yo’s Eid Outfit

The white leather shoes Moneybagg Yo wore were a standout detail in an already incredible fit. The shoes feature a clean all-white leather upper with a structured, high-top silhouette.

A buckle-style strap sits across the lace area, adding a fashion-forward touch to the otherwise minimal design. The all-white colorway matched his thobe and cargo pants seamlessly, creating a head-to-toe simple look.

Wearing white for Eid is a deeply meaningful tradition, and Moneybagg combined that cultural practice with luxury streetwear instincts flawlessly. The gas station setting made the contrast between everyday surroundings and extreme wealth even more striking. It is the kind of fit that lives on the internet forever.

The Dreamville rapper explained how his stepfather introduced him to Tupac when he was six or seven years old. While he appreciates this early exposure, the content matter of his favorite rap music is what makes him hold back.

“Once I had kids, it’s like, I’m not personally comfortable,” Cole remarked, as caught by Ahmed/The Ears on Twitter. “I’m very grateful I grew up in this house with my mom and eventually my stepfather who had no regard for what the f**k I heard or watched. I got a stepfather who put me on to ‘Pac at six, seven years old. Thank God. I can’t do that. I can’t play that for my kids. By the way, ‘Pac was maybe one of the best he played. He had Ice-T albums, [Ice] Cube albums. It was straight gangster rap.

“And I’m grateful, though. ‘Cause I’m riding to school with ‘Pour Out A Little Liquor’ [by Thug Life, Tupac’s group] playing, like, every day,” the North Carolina lyricist continued. “I’m ten years old… I had that experience. I’m not comfortable yet, and I don’t know if it’s right or wrong. I’m not judging myself or anybody else for what they do. But I’m not comfortable playing my favorite songs around my kids yet. ‘Cause the content. It’s sexual, it’s violent.”

J. Cole’s Wife Reacts To Kendrick Lamar Apology

Elsewhere during the interview, J. Cole revealed his wife Melissa Heholt’s reaction when she learned he planned to apologize after responding to Kendrick Lamar back in 2024.

“I told my wife. She’s the only one I told, I ain’t tell anybody else,” he remarked. “She started crying. ‘Cause she knows how I feel about him… And she knows. She saw how it was weighing on me two, three days before that. She could see my whole energy… So when I go and do it, I felt even better.”

This gives collectors another path to secure a pair before the wider SNKRS launch. The Canary Yellow drop is one of the more exclusive ways to get this shoe early.

The V.A.A. x Air Jordan 1 will be available in-person at World’s Fair activations. It will also be online via Canary Yellow, and later at Nike SNKRS and select retailers.

World’s Fair events are taking place in major cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, throughout March. Each stop features exhibitions and programming celebrating Abloh’s creative legacy. The Canary Yellow online drop sits right alongside all of that energy.

The shoe is limited to roughly 20,000 pairs globally. That number is significant but will not stop competition from being fierce across every channel. The Canary Yellow drop will likely be one of the most watched online releases of the entire month.

Virgil Abloh’s Store Canary Yellow

The V.A.A. x Air Jordan 1 “Alaska” revisits the same all-white deconstructed design from 2018 with exposed foam collar, floating Swoosh, zig-zag stitching, blue accents, and the signature “AIR” midsole text.

The most significant update is the “V.A.A. for Nike” branding replacing the original “Off-White for Nike” text on the medial panel. An orange tab sits on the Swoosh while blue stitching runs along the panels.

The packaging features a side-opening box with circular cutouts, a transparent inner case, and a sketch booklet stamped “MODERNISM IS NOT NEW.” It is a complete package that treats the sneaker as an art object from every angle.

“Latto just announced she’s pregnant by a married man with 3 kids and made it part of her ALBUM ROLL OUT .. and that’s who today’s women look up to? we’re doomed,” he tweeted earlier this week. This resulted in many fans calling Bell out for this critique and accusing him of tearing the couple down.

As caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, he reacted to the controversy and doubled down on his perspective in a new video message. “Bro, can somebody tell me what I said [that] was wrong?” the Ohio native expressed. “What did I say that was wrong? All I said was facts. I only said facts. I’m not saying I’m perfect. I’m not saying nobody has to be perfect. We’re all human beings. Nobody’s perfect. But I want to know, in this situation here, what did I say to get everybody all riled up? Like, what did I do? I only said facts.”

Who Is 21 Savage Married To?

We will see if either Atlanta artists responds to this shade. Still, it seems like Le’Veon Bell doesn’t care about the backlash, and will maintain his position. Also, the couple has plenty of congratulations to react to, not just the negative commentary.

However, this did make many folks look back on 21 Savage’s alleged marriage. He reportedly married Keyanna Joseph in 2020 after his visa-related case, which reportedly secured him permanent legal residence in the United States.

As such, many fans assume there may be some drama here for the coparents, who share two sons. After all, rumors of a relationship with Big Mama herself have followed 21 for years now. Upon its apparent confirmation, fans wonder about these relationship dynamics.

But considering that Keyanna Joseph allegedly liked Latto’s Instagram announcement post, it seems like they are doing just fine. We’ll see if Bell has anything to say about that in the near future.

According to Click2Houston, lawyer Carl Moore filed a motion to withdraw from the case, per court documents. He reportedly indicated to the court that his former client now has new counsel. According to reported court documents, the suspect replaced attorney Letitia Quinones-Hollins with Houston’s Kent Schaffer. Some of his high-profile cases involve J. Prince and former Houston Mayor Fred Hofheinz, as well as legal and business work for Travis Scott, Scarface, Pimp C, and more.

In addition, Dan Cogdell and Anthony Osso have reportedly joined Patrick Clark’s case as defense lawyers. According to the filings, these legal team changes will not delay the case any further. Or at least, they are not intended to do so. We will see if any other significant changes or developments emerge regarding this long-awaited murder trial.

When Is The Takeoff Murder Trial?

Patrick Clark’s trial for Takeoff’s murder will reportedly begin on November 5, if everything goes according to the current schedule. Prosecutors accused him of shooting and killing the former Migos rapper at a Houston bowling alley in early November of 2022. He was reportedly an innocent bystander during an argument over a game of dice, and police arrested Clark for the murder a month later.

Police also reportedly arrested Cameron Joshua over the shooting on weapons charges in connection to the murder. Patrick Clark and his attorneys deny the allegations against him.

Elsewhere, though, Takeoff’s legacy continues in new ways. His street racing movie with Quavo, Takeover, finally got a release date of May 8. It’s reportedly the late Migo’s final on-screen appearance.

Quavo and Offset have done a lot in recent years to keep Take’s memory alive and to honor him in every way they can. Although this murder trial took a long time to get going, fans and loved ones are ready to close this chapter soon.

At $249.99, the demand clearly outpaced the supply from the moment they went live. This is exactly the kind of first drop that also shows a much larger partnership is coming.

The collaboration brings two of the most recognizable brands in sports and audio together. Nike’s Swoosh appears on one earbud while the Beats “b” logo sits on the other.

For the first time ever, the Beats logo reversed to mirror and complement the Swoosh. That small detail shows how thoughtfully both brands approached this first release together.

The earbuds sync directly with the Nike Run Club app straight out of the box. Heart rate monitoring is built in, making them a genuine performance tool and not just a lifestyle product. This is a collaboration that actually makes functional sense for athletes and active users. Both brands are clearly playing the long game here.

Selling out on the first drop almost guarantees a second release is already being planned. Nike and Beats have every incentive to keep this partnership going with new colorways and editions. This feels like the beginning of something much bigger than one volt and black earbud.

Nike x Beats Powerbeats Pro 2

The Nike x Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 in volt and black is one of the most visually striking sports audio products released in years. Also the ear hooks and body of each bud are dressed in a bold neon volt color that demands attention.

Black earbud tips and accents provide contrast against all that electric green. The charging case goes even further with a black base covered in volt paint splatter dots that echo classic Nike footwear design language.

Inside the case, “Just Do It” is printed on the lid in clean type. One earbud carries the Nike Swoosh and the other carries the reversed Beats logo. Overall its a product designed to look as good as it performs.

According to XXL, Adin pointed to the alleged contractual breaches themselves. These include the rapper’s alleged refusal to wear a Rainbet sponsor patch on his shorts, his remarks on confidential payment agreements, and his alleged refusal to retract his rigging accusations and these payment comments. Ross broke this down during his livestream, as caught by the outlet on Instagram.

In addition, he claimed he tried to work with Wack 100 to settle things, but to no avail. Wack 100 called out Adin Ross’ alleged advances in response. From there, Ross claimed every Brand Risk fighter got paid, except for Blue.

Later, Blueface responded to Adin on Twitter: “Looking for a way not to pay is not a good look ima get mines regardless.” Ross responded by calling him unintelligent, demanding retraction, and doubling down on the contract breaches. “All he had to do was say something like ‘it wasn’t rigged, Florida state athletic commission doesn’t rig their fights,'” he tweeted. “Blue for future business do not sign a contract agreeing to deliverables and not following through. You’re the first fighter in Brandrisk history ive ever struggled paying.”

How Much Did Blueface Make Boxing Chibu?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by XXL (@xxl)

“Never said how much I was paid,” Blueface clapped back on Twitter. “The excuses are becoming evident. [I] was never contracted to wear a patch an even if I was fined 100k that’s not even half of what’s owed. Talking about retract my statement [why] would I do that if I was never compensated. Further proving my point this was bad business from the opponent changing a week before the fight and my original opponent still on the event.”

According to DJ Akademiks, Blueface could’ve made anywhere between $350K to over $1 million from the Chibu fight. Now, though, that payout is in question. We’ll see if he and Adin Ross can settle this debacle in some other way.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black Patent” will be released in the summer of 2026.

The patent leather build gives the shoe a glossy, dressed-up finish that changes everything. Nike is clearly positioning this pair to be worn beyond the typical sneaker context.

The campaign imagery features a model in a full black suit crouching in the streets. The message is obvious and it lands perfectly. These are Air Force 1s built for occasions when you still want to wear sneakers but need to look sharp. The patent leather does exactly what a dress shoe finish is supposed to do.

Patent leather on an Air Force 1 is not a completely new idea but this execution feels fresh. The all-black tonal approach eliminates any casual energy the shoe normally carries. The result is one of the sleekest AF1 colorways Nike has released in recent memory.

Summer is the target window for the release and the timing makes sense. Wedding season, graduation events, and also summer formal occasions are all perfect use cases. Nike is giving people a sneaker they can actually justify wearing to an event.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black Patent”

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black Patent” takes the most iconic sneaker silhouette ever made and dresses it up entirely. Also the high-gloss patent leather upper reflects light in a way that standard AF1 leather never does.

Every panel and overlay is covered in the same mirror-like black finish from toe to heel. The tonal black Swoosh blends into the upper almost completely, creating a stealth-like appearance. Further black laces, a black midsole, and a black outsole ensure there is zero contrast anywhere on the shoe.

The Nike Air branding on the midsole is the only detail that breaks the surface. It is a shoe that makes you rethink where an Air Force 1 can actually go. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $125 when they are released.

In various clips from Ak’s livestream last night (Friday, March 20) caught by CY Chels on Twitter, he breaks down why he has no sympathy for Cole’s remarks. More specifically, they still center around his exit from the K.Dot and Drake battle.

“I’m so confused by J. Cole because, at the most p***y type of outlook on this, I thought he was going to say, ‘I love Kendrick, but I want to prove I’m the best. I’m here for the challenge,'” the commentator said of the North Carolina lyricist. “Instead, the n***a sounds like he loves Kendrick more than Whitney [Alford, Lamar’s fiancée]. ‘Yeah, I love that guy.’ Bro, what happened to the competition? What happened to that s**t?”

DJ Akademiks has been very critical of J. Cole in the past. So it stands to reason that his recent commentary didn’t stop there.

“[He has] no integrity, he’s not prideful,” Ak remarked. “He talks about wanting to be the best, but he doesn’t want to compete… It’s weird to me, it’s odd… Why didn’t you compete, but you’re rapping that you’re down to compete? What’s the problem? […] This s**t is sad, chat… I would give it so much more grace if he was like, ‘Kendrick called me, and I talked to him.’ Somehow, Kendrick seems impervious to all this f***ery. He doesn’t talk to none of these n***as and they get shamed without him having to lift a finger. That’s powerful.”

J. Cole’s Apple Music Interview

From there, DJ Akademiks questioned J. Cole’s status and said he needs to “go to therapy” and “change his diaper” if this stressed him out so much. He continued his criticism of Cole’s competitive nature (or lack thereof, from Ak’s perspective), positing that there’s “zero substance” to his music.

“I feel like he grew with y’all, but he’s still blocking y’all out,” Akademiks told Cole’s fans, referring to his hesitancy to talk about family life. Finally, he criticized the rapper’s decision to push The Fall-Off back due to the beef and apology.

Elsewhere during J. Cole’s Apple Music interview with Nadeska Alexis, he revealed that 2014 Forest Hills Drive was originally going to be a double album. He also said he still has a lot of love for his “Big Three” colleagues, a sentiment DJ Akademiks continues to scrutinize.
