While these allegations and charges are extremely serious, Rick Ross has not been taking them as such. Immediately after being released from jail last week, Ross spoke to the media and made the claim that he would be traveling overseas this weekend. Subsequently, he went viral after telling reporters that he would enjoy a bowl of rigatoni with “heavy marinara.”

This weekend, Rick Ross made good on that promise…sort of. In a new video posted to social media, Ross could be seen eating a bowl of penne with Alfredo sauce. Heavy on the cheese instead of the marinara.

Clearly, Ross is having a good time in the aftermath of becoming a viral meme. However, one has to feel as though this is all in bad taste given the nature of the allegations.

Prior to his arrest, Ross was accused of physical abuse by his former girlfriend, Jazzma Kendrick. While her name was not attached to the charges, there has been speculation that she was the individual who called the police last Tuesday.

At this time, Ross has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his awaiting his next court date in the case. This remains a developing story.

The documents allege that Chris has shown a pattern of threatening her partners since their split, including her current one and another man she was in a relationship with two years ago. 

“He has made death threats against my most recent boyfriend, and continued threats to not only him, but also to his twin brother. I understand that he has also had third parties make threats,” Diamond claimed.

Diamond claimed the harassment stemming from his “anger and resentment” led to these relationships falling apart. Moreover, she admitted that she hasn’t taken any “action to date, but have asked his attorney, since March, through my attorney, to have Chris stop this behavior.” She also alleged that he got extremely angry with her in front of their daughter at the child’s birthday party.

Chris Brown’s Custody Battle Over Lovely Symphani Brown

On top of the alleged harassment, she also pointed out their respective finances, claiming that he has a net worth of over $50M and makes between $5.5M and $7.3M a month while she pulls in roughly $1,500 a month as a social media influencer and aesthetician. The figure, she says, helps pay her rent but doesn’t account for other expenses including clothing, food and extracurricular activities.

In her filing, she claimed he didn’t provide for his daughter enough while accusing him of having “stalled all discovery attempts, and attempted to run Diamond out of money.” Her new proposal suggests child support payments of up to $45K a month to cover rent, food, childcare, and extracurricular activities for their daughter. She says her current expenses amount to $8,400 monthly.

“Chris denies this and in fact I continue to see your client posting things that are inappropriate. Please send me specifics to address so | can understand and assist if this is really happening,” Chris’s attorneys reportedly wrote in response to the harassment claims. 

Diamond is asking for primary custody of their daughter, which Chris opposed. He’s asking for joint custody.

These allegations were made during a story time video that was eventually posted on social media. In the 15-minute video, Gorgeous Doll claims she was in a relationship with Cenat three years ago, when he was just 21 years old.

The social media influencer goes on to say that the two were not in a secret relationship. They would frequently go out to eat and had no issues with holding hands and being cuddled up in public. Meanwhile, although she never appeared on stream, there is a clip of Cenat getting excited on camera after receiving an affectionate text from Gorgeous Doll.

Later in the video, Gorgeous Doll alleges that the two eventually fell out when she got pregnant. Cenat allegedly offered her $200K to get an abortion, and she accepted.

Gorgeous Doll Accuses Kai Cenat Of Getting Her Pregnant

Kai Cenat has not yet responded to Gorgeous Doll’s allegations. Instead, it appears as though he was busy in Los Angeles, attending ComplexCon. The streamer was there to show off his new fashion brand, VIVET. In fact, he got to link up with Ye, among others.

As for Gorgeous Doll’s allegations, she has sparked a debate online about whether or not this exposing event was necessary. Moreover, there are some who believe this was all very predatory given Cenat’s age at the time.

Gorgeous Doll has not responded to this backlash. However, with social media scrutiny snowballing into the morning, that could change soon.

As for Cenat, he frequently addresses situations like this on his stream, so there could be a response sooner rather than later.

The details of the arrest are currently unknown. Furthermore, we simply know that he was hit with a $1500 bond for possession of a controlled substance under penalty group two. Meanwhile, he received a $500 bond for possession of marijuana.

Penalty group 2 substances are hallucinogens or psychedelics like magic mushrooms and Ecstasy. However, it is currently unknown which drug White allegedly had in his possession, apart from the marijuana in his other charge.

Over the last few years, Charleston White has been arrested on numerous occasions. For instance, just a few months ago, he was hit with a battery arrest. In February of 2025, he was arrested for alleged assault with a deadly weapon. Moreover, he was arrested for alleged animal cruelty.

Charleston White has been a provocateur on social media for a few years now. He has beef with a plethora of individuals, including J Prince Jr., Boosie, and Lil Woody. He has not shied away from egging on these feuds and constantly finds himself on social media taunting those he doesn’t like.

This has garnered White a large following. He has also parlayed this fame into interviews with the likes of The Art of Dialogue and VladTV.

As for this current arrest, it has not yet been revealed if White has bailed himself out.

This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for news and updates.

In videos posted to social media, LUCKI could be seen with a laceration on his face. The laceration was dangerously close to his neck, which led to concern from fans. Meanwhile, three other individuals were left injured during the melee. One of those men took themselves to the hospital.

According to TMZ, police gave a description of the scene. LUCKI was standing in the parking lot at 4:40 PM local time, when an alleged suspect suddenly struck him in the face. It is believed that this is what caused the laceration.

Subsequently, Carti and LUCKI’s entourages allegedly got into a sprawling melee. In one video, Carti could be seen near a vehicle, watching things play out. Meanwhile, LUCKI had retreated back to his car, where he was told not to drive.

At this time, the LAPD is investigating this case as an attempted murder. However, no suspects have been identified or arrested at this time. Instead, the case remains ongoing, and police are attempting to piece together the missing details.

Complex eventually released a statement about the altercation after canceling some events from that evening.

“The safety and security of our guests, talent, partners and staff is our highest priority. We are aware of an incident that occurred outside the ComplexCon event yesterday and our security team and the LAPD responded immediately. We take incidents of this nature extremely seriously and remain focused on maintaining a safe and secure environment for everyone attending ComplexCon.”

The photos show a pale yellow upper with light grey mesh panels. Layered overlays wrap across the sides, and yellow laces tie it all together. A touch of green shows up on the tongue and the sole stays light to match.

Ye teased this colorway back in August. He posted four colorful versions of the 800 on Instagram. The yellow pair was one of them, with grey and a green sockliner. Seeing it on feet is a good sign that it could be real.

There’s still no official word on release plans for this colorway. The Yeezy 800 itself is expected to drop in December, with pricing yet to be announced. We never really know which colorways will end up releasing, and which ones stay locked in the vault.

The first pair we saw was all black and almost completely logo-free. This yellow is the opposite. It’s loud, playful, and something Yeezy hasn’t done in a while. That contrast makes the 800 feel like a full range of sneakers, not a one-off. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see.

Yeezy 800

Gosha being the one to wear them is a fun detail. He served as Yeezy’s head of design from late 2023 until early 2025. He has since relaunched his own label. It’s hard to read too much into it, but it’s a nice callback for fans who followed that era.

The 800 is part of Yeezy’s push to build its own lineup after the adidas split. It leans into the retro runner trend with ballistic mesh, leather overlays, and a deconstructed look. The brand is also working with JD Sports now, which should help get pairs in front of more people.

Pastel colorways could be what helps the 800 stand out. Black sneakers are everywhere, but a pale yellow runner is not. If the yellow pair does release, it could be a fun one to track on resale.

The in-hand photos show a bold, clean build. Black leather covers the upper, with bright orange and blue accents. An orange “23” with blue trim sits on the cross strap. The buckle is blue, and the heel has an orange pull tab.

Blue also shows up on the heel panel, which has black and orange graphics. The midsole is mostly orange and black. A blue chenille tongue patch with an orange Jumpman finishes it off.

Don’t expect any official Knicks logos. The name comes from the colors and the history behind the shoe. The style code is IX8479-010.

It’s a general release in men’s sizes, and grade school sizing hasn’t been announced. Expect pairs through Nike SNKRS, Foot Locker, JD Sports, Hibbett, and DTLR.

The timing is hard to beat. The Knicks just won their first NBA title in 53 years, beating the Spurs in five games. Fans are definitely going to be looking to cop a pair of these to commemorate a historical moment.

Air Jordan 8 “Knicks”

The 8 has real history with the Knicks. Michael Jordan wore it in the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals, when the Bulls beat New York on the way to a third straight title. That series is still a sore spot for Knicks fans.

That makes this pair a little petty, in the best way. It started as a reminder of Jordan beating New York. After this year, it feels more like a tribute to the champs. Jordan Brand isn’t stopping there though, they also dropped the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Last Dance At The Garden” a few days ago.

This colorway also replaced a planned “Cavs” pair. Jordan Brand changed the style code and went with the Knicks name instead.

Resale is worth watching. The championship hype and strong demand could skyrocket these fast, so be ready on Christmas Eve.

Vivet had one of the biggest setups at the show. Complex says Kai’s booth was a huge, elaborate space built to showcase the brand. Plenty of celebrities came by to support him and shop the pieces.

Savannah wasn’t the only name in the building. French Montana also took a look at the wares. Lil Yachty, Plaqueboymax, Molly Santana, and Karrahbooo reportedly stopped by too.

The pop-up is a big step for the brand. Vivet launched its first collection just last month with a runway show during New York Fashion Week. Before that, Kai had been teasing the brand for almost a year.

That first collection has 20 pieces, with prices from $20 to $1,195. It spans hoodies, tracksuits, leather jackets, boots, loafers, and even clear heels. The Beginner Hoodie keeps the entry point simple, while the leather and fur show the bigger fashion goals.

ComplexCon wrapped up on October 4, so the Vivet pop-up has officially closed its doors.

Kai Cenat’s Vivet ComplexCon Pop-Up

The name itself has meaning. Vivet is Latin for something that will live forever. Kai first announced the brand in December 2025.

Since then, he’s leaned into a serious fashion approach instead of standard creator merch. Kai has tied the brand to his Trinidadian and Haitian roots and is building it independently.

Not everyone agrees on the style. Some fans compared the muted tones, oversized fits, and distressed finishes to Yeezy. That’s a lot of attention for a first collection.

Celebrity support like Savannah’s helps with credibility. It shows the brand can pull in people outside Kai’s audience. Complex even called Vivet the star of day one.

From a resale view, creator brands can be hit or miss. Limited pop-up drops tend to help, though. If Vivet keeps its runs small, demand could stay strong.

The $155 price tag and the Denver Nuggets color story are both intact. For collectors who have been waiting on this one since 2005, the timing feels overdue.

But, the Jordan Melo 5.5 retro is about more than just one shoe coming back. It’s a reminder that Carmelo Anthony built one of the most historically significant sneaker runs in NBA history, and it never got the credit it deserved.

Jordan Brand’s First Star After Michael Jordan

Carmelo Anthony entered the NBA in 2003 as the third overall pick, fresh off leading Syracuse to the NCAA championship as a freshman. Jordan Brand signed him almost immediately, and the significance of that deal is easy to understate looking back now.

Melo became the first signature basketball athlete the Jumpman had ever signed outside of Michael Jordan himself. And that wasn’t a small thing.

Jordan Brand had been built entirely around Jordan (as the name would suggest), and Anthony was the first person trusted to carry a signature line under that roof. The pressure that came with that distinction was real, and Melo handled it on and off the court from the very beginning.

The Melo Line

The Melo line was built on a concept that hadn’t been done before. His first shoe, the Melo 1.5, combined design DNA from the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 5 into a single silhouette. It was a deliberate nod to the Jordan archive. Melo’s line was tied directly to MJ’s own catalog before he had even played a full NBA season.

The Jordan Melo 5.5 followed the same blueprint, blending elements from the AJ5 and AJ6 into one shoe. The mid-cut build, perforated panels, and visible Air cushioning gave it a distinctly early-2000s look. It still carried the Jordan Brand performance DNA underneath. It was the shoe Melo wore during one of the most exciting stretches of his Denver years.

The line ran all the way to the Melo M13 in 2017. That gave Anthony one of the longest signature runs in NBA history: 13 models across 14 years, spanning Denver, New York, Oklahoma City, Houston, and Portland.

Few players have kept a signature line running that long. Most casual sneaker fans couldn’t name more than two or three entries from the catalog. That gap between the line’s actual depth and its cultural reputation is the whole story.

Tinker Hatfield And The Melo M10

The clearest sign that Jordan Brand was taking Melo’s line seriously came with the M10. Tinker Hatfield, the designer behind the Air Jordan 3 through 15 and widely considered the most important sneaker designer in history, took on the Melo M10 as his own project.

The result was one of the most technically ambitious basketball shoes of its era, featuring a dynamic Flywire upper, full-length Zoom Air cushioning, and a design language that pushed well beyond what anyone expected from a mid-tier signature line.

The M10 showed that Melo’s line had real investment behind it. It is still one of the most underrated Jordan Brand performance releases of the 2010s.

Why The Line Never Got The Respect It Deserved

The Kobe line, the LeBron line, and the KD line all get talked about constantly. The Melo line is largely absent from those conversations, which is hard to explain when you look at the actual catalog. Part of it comes down to timing.

Melo’s peak years overlapped with LeBron and Kobe dominating both the on-court and sneaker narratives simultaneously, leaving very little room for anyone else. Part of it also comes down to championships. Kobe won 5 rings in his Nikes. LeBron won 4. Melo never won one, and in sneaker culture, championship moments drive signature shoe legacy more than almost anything else.

The depth of his line, the hybrid, the Tinker collab, and the 13-model run all tell a story that deserves more credit.

The 2027 Jordan Melo 5.5 Retro

The Jordan Melo 5.5 retro is the first time the silhouette has ever come back, which makes April 30th, 2027 a bigger date than most people realize. The Melo 1.5 got multiple retro runs between 2012 and 2018. The 5.5 never got that treatment. So it spent over 20 years as an original-only release that showed up on eBay in beat condition for $40 or deadstock for a few hundred.

The returning colorway is a big moment. Black leather across the upper, University Blue on the outsole and midfoot, Taxi yellow and Metallic Silver as supporting details. It’s the exact look Melo wore during his early Denver years, and Jordan Brand didn’t try to modernize it.

The $155 retail price keeps it accessible at a time when most Jordan retros land at $180 and above. That feels true to what the shoe originally was which is a performance basketball sneaker with a great story behind it, not a hype-driven grail. It doesn’t need to be priced like one to earn its spot back on shelves.

Also, more colorways are expected to follow. If Jordan Brand handles the rollout right, the 5.5 retro could open the door to a drop of the entire catalog. The M8, the M10, the Melo M13… there are entries in that line that have never been retroed.

Kiyan Anthony And What’s Next

Carmelo’s son Kiyan is currently at Syracuse. He’s now following his father’s footsteps to the exact same program where Melo won a national championship in 2003. He will be draft-eligible in 2029, which means the Anthony family’s connection could keep going.

The Jordan Melo 5.5 retro dropping in 2027 might land right in the middle of Kiyan’s college career, giving the whole story a natural next chapter before he even reaches the pros. Who knows where the line could go next.

Carmelo Anthony spent 19 years in the NBA and became one of the most gifted scorers the league has ever seen. He never won a championship, but his fingerprints are all over New York basketball history.

The Knicks finally broke their 53-year drought this past June. Melo wasn’t on the court for it, but every Knicks fan who grew up watching him chase that same dream felt something when Jalen Brunson held up that trophy.

The Melo 5.5 retro dropping in 2027 is the right moment to revisit all of it. The legacy, the line, the New York chapter, and everything in between. Carmelo Anthony gave Jordan Brand 14 years, and truly, it’s time the sneaker world gave him his flowers back.

The pair has a cream mesh upper with cloud embroidery along the forefoot. Bright red laces add a big pop of color. You can see the clouds clearly in the on-court photos.

The shoe also has gold trim and dragon-inspired details. A translucent outsole sits underneath, and “23” branding shows up on the tongue.

It releases October 9th for $190 with the style code IX5105-200. That’s only 5 days away. You can read more on the Nike LeBron 24 “Greater China” in our full breakdown.

The scrimmage was a big night in general. LeBron threw down a lob dunk, made sharp passes, and hit a deep three. He wore No. 9 in the scrimmage, since No. 6 is retired in Philadelphia for Julius Erving.

Debuting this pair in a Sixers uniform makes it feel even more special. It also keeps a long tradition alive, since LeBron’s China line goes back to 2005.

Nike LeBron 24 “Greater China”

The China line has become a staple of LeBron’s yearly rollout. It started in 2005 with a run of just 1,000 pairs of the Zoom LeBron 3. Almost every signature model since then has gotten its own China colorway.

Past pairs have used themes like terracotta warriors and stone lions. Each one pulls from a different piece of Chinese culture. That variety is a big reason collectors keep chasing them.

This one is also a showcase for the LeBron 24’s lightweight Kingknit upper. Nike calls it his lightest signature shoe so far. A culturally rooted design on a new material is a strong combo. On the resale side, LeBron’s China colorways usually get attention from collectors. A court debut before release only adds to the hype. Don’t be surprised if sizes go fast.

Overall it will be interesting to see how many more colorways LeBron breaks out in Philly this season.
