Unfortunately, his grievances weren’t necessarily met with public sympathy. Many accused him of not reading his contract properly, but he fired back. However, he explained that he 

 “When you look at that contract, and you read it and then, you tell me what you ain’t reading right,” Curry said. “I don’t need no handout. I don’t need no money from 50 Cent.”

Mark Curry said that he put together over 40% of the documentary and hoped that the work they did together could lead to more opportunities for him. “The only thing I wanted was a production credit, because with that credit I could get into any film house and… help me do other things,” he said.

Mark Curry’s Response

Ultimately, he didn’t want anything but for their agreement to be upheld. However, he did feel as though he was owed a favor since he never received his production credit. That favor, he said, would be by helping him with another documentary idea he has. “If you don’t want to do the documentary, then introduce me to someone who can help me do the documentary,” he said, adding that he doesn’t have any real issues with 50. 

After Curry’s initial rant over the weekend, 50 Cent practically dismissed him. “Yo chill…what’s your Cash App, $Diddytouchedyourbutt..” Curry directly responded to Fif in his latest video, especially because he felt it was out of pocket to poke fun at the alleged victims of Diddy’s crimes.

Jordan drove the Ferrari straight out of the United Center hours after winning his fifth championship in 1997. He had it customized with adjusted seat tracks and padding to fit his frame. Rosso Barchetta paint, chrome Speedline wheels, and an Illinois plate reading “MJ 5” rounded out the build.

He sold the car in December 2002, and it disappeared from public view for almost 25 years. Supercar dealership Curated finally tracked it down earlier this year. Co-founder John Temerian led a decade-long search that ended when a partial chassis number surfaced in an old online forum.

This Ferrari holds a direct connection to sneaker history too. Tinker Hatfield used it as his primary inspiration while designing the Air Jordan 14. Jordan wore that silhouette during Game 6 of the 1998 Finals, hitting the title-winning shot remembered as The Last Shot.

Michael Jordan’s Ferrari 550 Maranello

Hatfield pulled several design inspirations straight from the Maranello’s body. Quilted leather was from the car’s cabin, while the side vents mirrored its bodywork. Even the outsole took on a tire-tread pattern to match a Ferrari’s tires.

The Jumpman logo got reworked for this shoe specifically. It sits inside a shield shape modeled after Ferrari’s prancing horse emblem. That detail alone makes the Air Jordan 14 one of the more personal design stories in the line.

Joopiter is also auctioning the jersey Jordan wore during Game 3 of the 1998 Finals in the same sale. Together, both pieces tell a fuller story of Jordan’s final championship run in Chicago.

Overall, for collectors, this sale offers a rare shot at owning a piece of history tied directly to one of the most storied sneakers ever made. Early reports suggest the car could sell for $700,000 to $1,300,000.

This trial has received tons of public interest, and it is easy to see why. Durk is one of the biggest rappers in the world, and his 2024 arrest sent shockwaves throughout the industry. Since that time, fans and peers have advocated for the “Free Durk” movement. It’s a phrase that was chanted outside of the courthouse during the trial.

Today, things are actually much calmer outside the courthouse. This is because fans are mostly just playing the waiting game until the jury announces that a verdict is in.

According to Michael Blackshire, the courthouse is drawing a small crowd right now. In fact, that crowd is mostly comprised of streamers who want to cover the trial.

Lil Durk Fans Pull Up To The Courthouse

One has to imagine that the coverage of the trial will become chaotic once a verdict is reached. After all, Durk is an extremely popular artist with millions of fans. Regardless of what the verdict is, people are going to have something to say about it.

If convicted on all five charges, Durk faces life in prison. Subsequently, he will have another trial for racketeering charges that were added during a superseding indictment. The racketeering charges are centered around whether or not OTF was a gang.

Stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to give you updates on this case.

Kendrick Lamar x Jhené Aiko

Of course, this is an incredibly interesting prospect. Kendrick Lamar always delivers quality features on R&B records, and we have no reason to believe that won’t also be the case on this Aiko collab.

As for the rest of the album, there are 20 songs in total. Furthermore, there are features from Ab-Soul, Tyga, Larry June, and OHMA. Of course, the Kendrick Lamar feature stands out as the one everyone will be rushing to listen to.

That said, the Larry June verse should be fire, especially given he and Aiko’s newfound relationship. We are also eager to hear what Ab-Soul has to say on the record.

After a boring New Music Friday during Labor Day Weekend, we appear to be back in the swing of things. Aiko is dropping alongside a plethora of other dope artists, and we are looking forward to listening to these projects.

Let us know your expectations for the Aiko album and the ensuing Kendrick Lamar collab in the comments down below.

She explained that she felt “on edge all the time” when the two were together. The couple parted ways earlier this year with Megan confirming the news on social media. “I’m trying my best,” she said when asked how she’s feeling about the situation. “I feel like I’ve been put through the washing machine and the dryer with tins, shovels, and a cactus.”

“How do I want to say this gently? What’s meant for you is always going to work out. And if something is constantly making you feel uncomfortable, just on edge all the time, you probably are not supposed to be there,” she continued. “God will always make you uncomfortable when something is not meant for you. I think I just kept trying to make pieces fit that didn’t belong, trying to fit myself into someone else’s life. I was losing myself a little bit. I am now in the space of finding me again… You will not disrespect me. And you will be thankful. Period.”

Kodak Black just scored a major win in court this week in Broward County. Per NBC Miami, a Florida judge granted a motion to dismiss a criminal case against Yak for fleeing and eluding law enforcement. Ultimately, it seems that the decision to dismiss the charge relates to a lack of evidence. 

Court documents break down what happened when a Broward Sheriff’s deputy approached Kodak Black. Apparently, the deputy called out Kodak Black, asking, “What’s going on boss? You good?” Kodak said “fine,” and then drove away.

Judge Dismisses Fleeing Charge Against Kodak Black

However, the defense explained that the cop didn’t indicate that Kodak had to stop in the first place. “The deputy did not request Kapri’s license, did not request a copy of insurance, did not step away from his patrol vehicle to engage with Kapri or give a lawful order in any meaningful way,” the motion to dismiss said.

According to All Hip Hop, the prosecutor then tried to argue that Kodak Black defied an order not to leave the scene. Evidently, the judge didn’t think that claim was convincing enough. 

This comes shortly after footage of another Kodak Black arrest surfaced. The body cam footage showed the rapper finishing a plate of takeout as the police waited to take him into custody. Throughout the interaction, he was completely cooperative while the cops themselves were patient.

Some feel as though Trap Lore Ross has been a distraction in the courtroom. His comments about Durk telling on OTF Vonni have gotten him into quite a bit of trouble. Some Durk fans have even pressed him outside the courthouse.

On Tuesday, following closing arguments, Trap Lore Ross and DJ Akademiks were on stream together, with Ross giving his breakdown of the case. It was here that he brought up 21 Savage, claiming the artist was a snake for doing Lil Durk’s song “War Bout It.” This is a song with some spiteful lyrics from Durk, and given Savage’s previous association with NBA YoungBoy, Ross found the collab disturbing.

Akademiks immediately checked Trap Lore Ross on his comments. Noting how 21 Savage can do what he wants, and that he and Durk had always been tight from the beginning.

Trap Lore Ross & Akademiks Talk 21 Savage

It was previously reported by DJ Akademiks that 21 Savage was reportedly contributing financially to Lil Durk’s legal defense fund. He was doing so alongside other artists like Drake, Kanye West, and even Lil Baby.

The jury deliberations have officially begun in the case. Those deliberations started about 30 minutes ago, and it is unknown how long they will go on. Some are expecting a verdict today, although it could go longer if the jury is deadlocked.

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

“He has been incarcerated more in his lifetime than he has been out… This man is not human,” Steel reportedly said. “That’s who the government wants you to rely on.”

Steel continued to poke holes in Jam’s testimony, specifically pointing out how the initial interviews weren’t recorded, but the fifth one was. Moreover, Steel said that no authority figure tried to challenge the discrepancies in his claims. “You have reasons to doubt,” he said.

“How dare they put him in front of you and continue this story. They know it’s a lie,” he said of Hester’s testimony. “There is no corroboration for anything Hester says involving Durk.” He added, “Hester is a serial killer who pled guilty to three murders.”

Lil Durk’s Lawyer’s Closing Arguments

Steel redirected his energy to Kavon Grant, a.k.a. Vonnie, whose interrogation was played in court. The lawyer argued that Vonnie, Jam, and Keith “Flacka” Jones gained from testifying against Lil Durk while their testimonies were only valuable to authorities if they implicated Lil Durk in the alleged crimes.

“Durk Banks is not guilty,” Steel reportedly told the jury. “If you have one reason to doubt that Durk is involved … the verdict is not guilty.”

The jury will begin deliberations today following the closing statements, and Lil Durk is facing life in prison if convicted. The final day of trial saw supporters outside of the court, who were later alleged to have been hired actors.

As soon as 6ix9ine came home from prison, he began trolling and mocking those who he felt did him wrong. For instance, he said disrespectful things about the death of King Von, all while urging Lil Durk to get vengeance. In fact, 6ix9ine’s “slide for Von” comments on DJ Akademiks’ “Off The Record” podcast were used in court by the prosecution.

Now, closing arguments have concluded, and the jury is set to begin deliberations this morning. 6ix9ine seems to believe Lil Durk is going to lose, and he is feeling pretty happy about it. So much so that he started singing lyrics from “Laugh Now Cry Later” on DJ Akademiks’ Kick stream.

6ix9ine Speaks On Lil Durk Case

Akademiks was quick to call 6ix9ine a troll, although the rainbow-haired rapper did not seem to care. Akademiks also laughed at Tekashi for rapping the lyrics poorly, noting that Durk was always a much better artist than him.

If a verdict comes down today, you can be sure that 6ix9ine is going to be one of the first to publicly comment. That is especially true if the verdict is a guilty one.

The deliberations are set to begin in about an hour or so, and at this time, there is no telling how this case will go. Lil Durk fans remain confident that his defense did enough to evoke reasonable doubt.

There is a very realistic possibility that a verdict happens today, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Yesterday, Durk’s murder-for-hire trial entered closing arguments. During those closing arguments, the prosecution played a clip from an episode of “Off The Record” in which Akademiks interviewed Durk. At one point during the interview, Akademiks asked Lil Durk if he was bothered by the “slide for Von” comments. That’s when Durk said that he doesn’t hear those comments anymore.

Akademiks was speechless after Durk’s comments, and for a few moments, he wouldn’t look Durk in the eye. The prosecution argued that Akademiks knew exactly what Durk was talking about, and that in this clip, Durk was slyly admitting to the alleged murder-for-hire plot.

When Ak heard about this on his livestream, he made it crystal clear that he has nothing to do with Durk’s case. Furthermore, he says his reactions were for dramatic and comedic effect. He then went on to tweet, “Today felt like a out of body experience.”

The jury is set to begin its deliberations this morning in Los Angeles as of 8:30 AM local time. If you are on the East Coast, that is 11:30 AM. If convicted, Durk faces life in prison, although he would likely receive his sentence in a few weeks from now as opposed to on the spot.
