It’s expected to launch through SNKRS, A Ma Maniere, Social Status, APB, and Jaide. That’s the full spread of Whitaker Group retail doors. Select Jordan Brand accounts should carry it as well.

Early mockups show a mostly black leather upper throughout. Light blue hits the wing eyelets and heel tabs. Dark pink lands on the Nike Air branding at the heel.

Brown fills in the tongue label for a subtle contrast point. Also black continues onto the midsole and most of the outsole. Gum detailing finishes things off underneath, tying the overall whole look together.

This marks the Whitaker Group’s next Air Jordan 4 project after years of work through A Ma Maniere. That boutique alone has released several AJ4 pairs already. This upcoming colorway looks like it’s taking a punchier direction than those past releases.

The Whitaker Group x Air Jordan 4

A Ma Maniere has leaned on soft and muted colorways for its Air Jordan 4 drops. Think tones like Violet Ore, Dark Mocha, and Fossil Stone. This Whitaker Group version breaks from that pattern a little bit.

Black as a base isn’t new territory for the brand. Pairing it with light blue and dark pink accents is a different move. That combination gives the shoe more contrast than past Whitaker Group Jordan projects.

James Whitner has pushed hard to build the Whitaker Group name beyond just A Ma Maniere. Deals with adidas, New Balance, and PUMA have expanded that reach recently. Also this Air Jordan 4 looks like one of the group’s biggest swings yet under that umbrella.

Details are still early, so some elements could shift before release. For now, this colorway stands out as a real departure from the group’s usual styles.

“Bow Wow got a wife in the strip club… Bow Wow is so jealous ’cause we was actually trying to look out for his h*e,” he remarked. “I swear to God, Bow Wow is a b***h, bro. He’s always been a b***h, even though I love that n***a…

“Ray, that’s how you feel about your little brother?” Bow said from a separate phone in the video, laughing. It seemed like the NPR Tiny Desk performer wasn’t taking this too seriously.

“This n***a tripping on a stripper that we was just trying to show love to,” Ray added. He also mentioned his beef with Blueface at one point, and Bow was trying to defend himself.

At press time, he hasn’t taken to social media to speak on this or explain anything that may have happened between them. It’s just a pretty bizarre interaction that seemed to amuse all parties involved, so we’ll see if there’s actually another story here.

Ray J’s Bow Wow Rant

Elsewhere, Bow Wow’s dealt with wild rants before, such as the infamous story from Orlando Brown about them allegedly having sexual relations. Bow denied this outright, but it has an ironic connection to Ray J in retrospect. Ray beat Orlando in a recent boxing match.

It seems like this rant could’ve all been in good fun, despite the language. But maybe this will devolve into a more contentious social media dynamic for fans to scrutinize. After all, it’s not like Ray or Bow are strangers to online antics and talking smack back.

It began with Asian Doll diving into some details about Vonnie’s relationship with the mother of one of King Von’s children. She alleged that Vonnie was sleeping with Von’s BM as she was pregnant with Von’s child, before claiming that Kayla B brought her to Von’s funeral. “The b*tch sitting on Vonnie lap at the funeral,” Asian Doll claimed. “You was letting your cousin f*ck your brother that died baby mama while she was pregnant with his baby, b*tch,” she continued.

Moreover, Asian Doll accused Kayla B and Vonnie of both stealing from King Von, including having stolen the late rapper’s hard drive. Ultimately, this led Kayla B to address Asian Doll and the allegations surrounding her finances, denying that she ever stole from King Von in the past. Kayla quickly dismissed Asian Doll as being broke and needing relevance from speaking on Lil Durk’s trial.

Kayla B Claps Back

“I didn’t steal the hard drive, they gave me the hard drive,” she explained. “I admit that I took the hard drive… his momma got it back.”

Kayla also refuted Asian Doll’s claim about Vonnie attending Von’s funeral. “Talking about I brought somebody to the funeral. We drove from Chicago. Vonnie drove her,” Kayla said of Von’s BM. “They love blaming me for everything. How did I bring somebody–a grown-ass woman–to a funeral?”

According to the outlet, online ticket-tracker TicketData Keith reportedly alleged 160 tickets for this event had been sold over a 30-day period, with about 47,000 seats allegedly still available. The L&N Stadium’s maximum seating capacity is reportedly 60,800, but it’s unclear if ticket sales for this event made all of those seats available. Per Ticketmaster at press time, the cheapest available seats cost $110.

Neither event organizers, nor the artists, nor the venue itself have verified any of this information at press time. The concert will move forward as of writing this article and there is no indication of a cancelation, with the ticket-tracker theorizing there could be a venue change or big shifts to pricing and seating.

Fans in the comments section of the Instagram post below proposed various theories for these alleged sales. Some blasted media outlets for reporting on stories like these if they hadn’t promoted the event in the first place. Others pointed to a more general lack of marketing as a major detriment, saying they weren’t even aware this was going on. On the other hand, a few fans found that Ludacris, BigXthaPlug, T.I., and Rick Ross were far too ambitious in scheduling a stadium show. Finally, many folks said going to concerts is just too expensive these days, lamenting the lack of more moderate pricing.

Rick Ross’ Canceled Shows

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

Rick Ross recently had to cancel a few shows, although the exact reason for this is unclear. Still, it led folks like 50 Cent to troll him for it, even if it might not have anything to do with success or commercial performance.

Elsewhere, BigXthaPlug recently missed a festival slot due to legal trouble, which also had nothing to do with sales questions. Maybe we’ll get an answer here, but probably not.

But on Thursday, Jam’s wife took the stand. She testified that she was totally against Jam’s decision to take the stand while also testifying that she had to be relocated with her son. “With my kids, what he’s doing is ruining everything we have going on in our lives right now,” she said, per Taylor Parise.

Parise also reported that Brian Steel suggested Jam’s teenage son cut off communication with his father. “It was also insinuated by Brian Steel that Jam’s teenage son said he would not speak to his father if he chose to testify against Durk,” Parise tweeted. Trap Lore Ross reiterated this in a viral post that read, “Jams wife said his 15 year old son disowned him for snitching.”

Ultimately, Jam’s wife testified that she’s received a number of threats as a result of Jam deciding to work with the authorities.

Rick Ross & The Game Beef

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Game (@losangelesconfidential)

This is what the Maybach Music Group mogul had to say about The Documentary III and his own low album sales. “That was a project that was released last week. The Documentary III,” he said. “Two Kanye features, Drake… Set In Stone did more numbers than Documentary III with what they called a stimulus package. Listen, keep hustling. That’s what it’s all about. The Game, as an artist, continue to make music, my n***a. The West Coast needs you… Don’t let that s**t dictate how you move, how you create.”

Considering The Game’s ongoing rap beef Rick Ross, it’s kind of odd to hear Ross be empathetic in this situation, albeit back-handedly. But maybe that’s the case because he knows they are in similar spots commercially, and that both releases did not reach the heights they may have expected.

But that’s only in the commercial conversation, as both artists are very proud of what they did and their fanbase really appreciated them. We’ll see if Rozay responds…
