For those unaware, Ye recently revealed the tracklist for his new album BULLY via a new website for it. He’s selling physical copies of the record (vinyls, CDs, cassettes), box sets, and the grills he dons on the cover.

As shared by Kurrco on Twitter, it seems like those who already ordered a copy of the full-length from the site got an email message from the Yeezy support team. In it, they confirmed the release date for the album, which is the same one that the pre-save feature on the digital streaming platform Spotify indicates. It seems like the copies of the project will ship on that date. The email also includes the following message: “LET US KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CANCEL YOUR ORDER AND WE’LL HANDLE IT.”

What Is Kanye West’s BULLY‘s Release Date?

Ye’s BULLY comes out on January 30 of this year, if this message from Yeezy Support is accurate. Ironically, the disclaimer for folks who potentially might want to cancel their order isn’t very promising. Then again, it seems like good practice considering Kanye West’s other alleged Yeezy storefront issues.

In any case, now that we have the official tracklist for the record, multiple confirmations of the release date, and a bit of a redemption arc for Ye these days, fans are feeling more confident than ever that they will hear BULLY in about four weeks. Will it live up to the hype, join the VULTURES disappointments, or fall somewhere in between?

We’ll hear in due time. For those unaware, the Chicago artist already released five tracks from his upcoming album on digital streaming services like Spotify. These are “PREACHER MAN,” “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST,” “DAMN,” “LAST BREATH,” and “LOSING YOUR MIND.” They won’t appear in that exact order on the tracklist, and fans are very curious about the overall sonic direction.

For those unaware, she took to social media this week to post a video of the former Migo allegedly sleeping next to her. In fact, Powell even claimed that they made a tape together in the post’s caption. “made a tape last night & all u heard was him in the video lol offset you sleepy boy @celinagonewild,” she wrote.

Unsurprisingly, ‘Set hasn’t responded to this alleged video at press time, which many fans continue to debate the veracity of. Folks online wonder whether he ever will at some point, although we wouldn’t bet on an address arriving in the near future.

That’s because Offset seemingly deactivated his social media accounts. But this has nothing to do with Celina. Rather, this happened after he went back and forth with Finesse2tymes on social media for commenting on his Cardi B relationship.

Still, we don’t have an explicit reason as to why the Georgia MC decided to do this. So maybe it’s a coincidence, an intentional move, due to another gossip narrative, or the result of a lot of speculation piling on top of each other. Either way, it seems like the break allowed him to party without as many cares in the world. As of writing this article, ‘Set’s Instagram and Twitter accounts remain unavailable.

Celina Powell’s Offset Allegations

For those unaware, Celina Powell’s previous headlines regarding Offset also included a lot of gossip and speculation. She falsely claimed he was the father of her child back in late 2017, and she alleged years later that he offered her $50K to get an abortion.

This didn’t affect Offset’s now tumultuous relationship with Cardi B back then. In fact, the femcee clapped back at Powell and accused her of lying about the abortion offer, just like she did with the pregnancy scandal.

As caught by J Michelle Michelle on Twitter, the Compton lyricist appeared in pictures with Torrance, California barber KevDaBarber at his barbershop, appearing with a few other colleagues. He wore a hoodie for the occasion and he pulled his hood up in the pictures. So we don’t know if Lamar got a fresh cut. Still, it was surprising for fans to see Kendrick in this Los Angeles County city in such a casual fashion. Yet his recent moves show that this is pretty much how he rolls.

We don’t have any other context for this link-up. But we’ll see if the 38-year-old has a new look by the time we see him again… which could be in a long time.

Who Is Kendrick Lamar Signed To?

Despite rumors of new Kendrick Lamar music soon, we also remember the wait between DAMN. and Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers all too well. As such, these recent public appearances from him, whether in a concert or a casual context, may be giving fans false hope. Nevertheless, it’s heartening for them to witness their fav enjoying life like the rest of us.

This purported new music, like Kendrick’s last album GNX, won’t be with TDE like most of the music in his career. He’s signed to his pgLang company in a licensing deal with Interscope Records and a publishing deal with Universal Music Group (UMG). But “The Boogeyman” continues to show love to his Top Dawg family.

Also, these public appearances would mean something else entirely if Kendrick Lamar’s massive “Grand National” tour didn’t happen. In another world, they might elicit fervent calls for new material from die-hards. Sure, that still exists no matter what. But he can’t be that busy all the time, even as he’s still on top of the world.

This follows North West sharing another rage-like instrumental she produced on social media, which led to a lot of fan reactions. Some aren’t a fan of this new-gen sound, others are loving it, and many folks are just heartened to see her be creative and follow Ye’s footsteps. Of course, these aren’t North West’s only musical ventures, as she’s made music with her dad and with other artists like FKA twigs before.

Lil Wayne’s son Lil Novi’s also dropping heat, as fans have reacted wildly to some of his material. These tracks also pull heavy inspiration from the rage sub-genre akin to artists like Playboi Carti and the Opium label, Che, and more.

Kanye West & Lil Wayne Collabs

We’ll see if “Justswagup” gains more motion on streaming services amid this news, which broke when North posted an Instagram Story claiming the instrumental this week. She continues to share more beats on IG, which is quite interesting to see. Perhaps Ye and Kim Kardashian’s first child will drop an album soon or collaborate with even more artists. Whether you think it’s good or subpar pales in comparison to folks celebrating a shared musical heritage.

Meanwhile, regarding Lil Novi, Lil Wayne’s kids recently reunited. On her Heir Time podcast, his daughter Reginae Carter hosted Neal, Dwayne Carter III, and Kameron Carter to speak on their experiences growing up, the influences of their parents, and much more. It was a compelling conversation to witness, and we hope it won’t be the last.

Does this mean Kanye and Wayne’s children will inspire them to hop on a track together again? We shall see. Their last official collaboration was “LIFESTYLE” off of Ye’s collaborative album sequel with Ty Dolla $ign, VULTURES 2. They also linked up for “Barry Bonds” in 2007, “See You In My Nightmares” in 2008, the “Lollipop” remix, and joint features for tracks like “Forever,” “SMUCKERS,” and “Swagga Like Us.”

House Of Heat reports that the Air Jordan 4 “London” will be released in the Fall of 2026. 

The city-exclusive theme celebrates one of Europe’s biggest sneaker markets. Nike has historically created special releases for major cities worldwide. London has received several exclusive Air Jordan colorways over the years.

This Air Jordan 4 pays tribute to the UK capital. The design features premium materials and sophisticated color blocking throughout. Black nubuck and leather dominate the entire upper construction.

Bronze metallic accents provide luxury touches across the branding elements. The Nike LDN text appears on the heel tabs. A tan gum outsole completes the refined aesthetic perfectly. The original London exclusives were nearly impossible to obtain stateside.

Resale prices remained extremely high for years after initial releases. This wider release gives global fans access to the design. Demand should be massive when these hit SNKRS next fall.

The “London” Air Jordan 4 represents one of the cleanest. Mark your calendars for this must-have fall drop.

Air Jordan 4 “London” Retail Price

The Air Jordan 4 “London” features a premium black nubuck and leather upper. The textured nubuck covers the toe box and side panels beautifully. Smooth black leather appears on the eyelets and quarter panels throughout.

Bronze metallic accents hit the lace wings and Jumpman logo on tongue. The heel tab displays Nike LDN branding in matching bronze lettering. Black mesh panels provide breathability through the signature Jordan 4 side netting.

Also a tan gum rubber outsole wraps around the entire bottom perfectly. The midsole stays clean in all-black with visible Air unit cushioning. Bronze Nike swoosh branding appears subtly on the heel counter area.

The overall design exudes sophistication and London’s refined streetwear aesthetic flawlessly. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $220 when they drop.

According to an exclusive report from AllHipHop‘s Grouchy Greg Watkins, multiple university law professors filed a brief U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in support of his sentence appeal process. These individuals are reportedly the following: Douglas A. Berman of The Ohio State University, John Blume of Cornell Law School, and The Honorable John Gleeson, Retired (former judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York), who is an adjunct professor at New York University of Law.

How Long Is Diddy’s Sentence?

Reportedly, they argued that Judge Arun Subramanian overstepped his 50-month sentence to Diddy based on allegations that the jury in his trial found he was not guilty of. The law professors reportedly urged the court to vacate his sentence and hold a new hearing for the case.

“Sean Combs chose to trust a federal jury to decide whether the sovereign got it right,” they reportedly wrote in the brief. “The verdicts largely vindicated his faith in our jury system.”

For those unaware, a jury found Diddy guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution, but not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. This argument from law professors, plus other arguments from his legal team, claim that Judge Subramanian handed down his sentence based on the other charges and not the actual convictions under the Mann Act. According to this recent filing, sentences for these convictions are typically much shorter.

Furthermore, the law professors argued that the sentence undercuts recent changes to federal sentencing rules and also undermines the jury’s full mixed verdict. However, they reportedly just want a re-sentencing hearing, not automatic liberty for the Bad Boy mogul. We will see how the court rules on this matter, hopefully soon for clarity.

However, he is fourth on the overall list with $109 million. Ahead of him are The Weeknd at number one with $298 million, Taylor Swift with the silver medal thanks to $202 million, and Beyoncé boasting $149 million in the third spot. After the Compton lyricist, there’s Coldplay with $105 million, Shakira with $105 million as well, and then we get the 6ix God at number seven with $78 million. As you might expect, much of these numbers come from touring revenue, catalog deals, and more.

As for Drake’s gargantuan streaming success, his streaming revenue is reportedly close to $50 million. This estimate places him as the artist with the second-highest-earning catalogue of the year behind Taylor Swift, in addition to his concert dates in 2025. Drizzy and his rival are the two highest-paid rappers of the year, and for good reason.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Grand National” Tour Revenue

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar’s “Grand National” tour alongside former label mate SZA (number 20 on Forbes‘ list) represents a massive chunk of his 2025 earnings. The trek was incredibly successful, bringing in $358.7 million and breaking multiple records in the process. Also, the late 2024 release of the GNX album meant that 2025 still held a lot of commercial music success in the year, and we can’t wait to see what happens next.

The same goes for Drake, whose upcoming ICEMAN album is reaching a fever pitch of anticipation. While he has a lot of other things to deal with like a civil RICO lawsuit over his Stake involvement and his UMG lawsuit’s appeal over “Not Like Us,” he’s a great multitasker.

Will 2026 crown a new rapper on Forbes‘ estimated financial throne or will this binary continue to dominate? At the end of the day, what fans will care about most is the music.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 15 23RE “Black Muslin” will be released on June 6th, 2026.

The Air Jordan 15 originally debuted during the 1999-2000 NBA season. Michael Jordan wore these during his brief retirement from basketball. The 23RE version updates the classic silhouette with modern construction techniques.

The “Black Muslin” colorway brings a sophisticated two-tone aesthetic. Black woven textile covers the entire upper portion of the shoe. Muslin cream tones dominate the lower midsole and heel counter areas.

The Air Jordan 15 featured innovative design elements for its time. The woven upper was inspired by fighter jets and luxury fashion. Also the tongue-less construction created a unique slip-on feel. This silhouette remains one of the most polarizing in Jordan history.

Some sneakerheads love the experimental design and premium materials used. Others prefer more traditional basketball shoe aesthetics from that era. The 23RE treatment gives new fans a chance to experience it.

Modern comfort upgrades make this version more wearable than the original. The release date is set for later this year. The “Black Muslin” colorway offers versatility for everyday wear.

Air Jordan 15 23RE “Black Muslin” Retail Price

The Air Jordan 15 23RE “Black Muslin” features a premium black woven textile upper. The textured weave creates a basket-pattern throughout the entire upper construction. A sleek collar wraps around the ankle in matching black material.

Also the lower transitions to a clean muslin cream color across the midsole. Horizontal detailing covers the heel counter in the same muslin tone. The Jumpman logo appears subtly on the lateral heel area. The unique tongue-less design maintains the original’s slip-on aesthetic appeal.

Further, black laces thread through integrated eyelets for secure lockdown. The midsole features carved grooves that add visual depth and dimension. The overall silhouette maintains the Air Jordan 15’s distinctive fighter jet inspiration perfectly.

Expect moderate interest from collectors and Jordan completists. The Air Jordan 15 occupies a special place in sneaker history. This 23RE version honors that legacy with updated construction quality.

Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be announced closer to when they drop.

“Mr. Joseph’s allegations concerning my client are false, baseless, and reckless,” Grodsky reportedly expressed. “They are categorically denied, and we will use all legal means available to address these claims and to ensure that the truth is brought to light.”

This statement follows a lot of discussion, debate, and divisive discourse about these accusations. For example, 50 Cent reacted to Will Smith’s harassment lawsuit with a quick post on Instagram, in which he screenshotted a headline on the matter. “WTF is going on, I got a movie I want will for, this fool just mad he got fired.”

Also, this comes amid a resurfaced Instagram post from Brian King Joseph in which he seemingly addresses his allegations. He reportedly published this video on Christmas (December 25) and filed the lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, on Tuesday (December 30). In the video, Joseph alluded to his alleged experiences as a tour violinist for Smith’s “Based On A True Story” trek.

What Are The Allegations Against Will Smith?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Brian King (@briankingjoseph)

For those unaware, Brian King Joseph is a 32-year-old musician who previously competed in America’s Got Talent‘s 13th season in 2018. He reportedly seeks personal and financial damages for alleged sexual harassment and wrongful termination.

More specifically, Joseph’s allegations rest on an alleged incident that took place during Will Smith’s tour in March of 2025. He claims that the actor and rapper “was deliberately grooming and priming [him] for further sexual exploitation.” The specific alleged incident concerns how someone allegedly entered Joseph’s Las Vegas hotel room and left “wipes, a beer bottle, a red backpack, a bottle of HIV medication with another individual’s name, an earring, and hospital discharge paperwork belonging to a person unbeknownst to” the violinist.

Also, the items allegedly included a note from an individual self-identified as “Stone F” that read “Brian, I’ll be back no later [sic] 5:30, just us [drawn heart].” Brian King Joseph allegedly reported this to tour management, hotel staff, and a local police line. Three days later, tour management allegedly “shamed” him and let him go due to the tour “moving in a different direction.”

Joseph claims that this alleged wrongful termination happened due to his report on the sexually implicit items (which he claims are not his) left in his Vegas hotel room. He alleges that he and Will Smith grew closer since meeting in 2024, started spending more time alone together, and that Smith told him, “You and I have such a special connection, that I don’t have with anyone else.”

On an unrelated note, Will Smith’s wife is also facing legal trouble. Jada Pinkett Smith faces a $3 million lawsuit for allegedly threatening a former family associate.
