They are two very different tales, but let’s start with the 6ix God. At around the 26:47-minute mark of the video below, Kleiman posited that the “City On Fire” rapper had a lead over Drizzy in the blog era that he eventually lost, which led him to reflect on their relationship.

“Last time I seen him was at one of Sean Dickinson’s parties in L.A.,” he recalled. “Briefly, ‘How are the kids? Alright, peace.’ We never had a close relationship like that, for whatever reason. I don’t know, I mean, we good, but we were not as close as [others]. […] Maybe [the blog era] ended before [Drake’s battle with Kendrick Lamar]. I think when everybody stopped really working, that’s what the game does to you. People’s inner circles do that to you, and then life happens. Once everybody stopped really rapping together, or maybe the numbers decided who was working together, I think it kind of ended right there.”

Wale Kid Cudi Beef

Before that, at the 22:55-minute mark of the video above, Wale’s Kid Cudi beef came up. “I don’t talk to Cudi,” he remarked. “I don’t harbor nothing, but I really felt like they kicked me when I was down.” This was in reference to Cudi dissing Wale’s music in a 2010 Complex story.

“We used to run together,” he continued. “You’re going to say something like that to Complex, which is kind of my direct fan base? And they made it a thing. That joint f***ed me up. It really did. I was at [Rick] Ross’ house… ‘Aye, [Cudi], we should just do a song.’ We did ‘Focused,’ he did the vocals over the phone… He couldn’t really be bothered to do the vocals properly.”

Wale also recalled an icy response from the Cleveland creative when he invited him to a personal event. “It was really bad for a couple years,” he expressed. “How I felt about him and how I felt about the grace he would get for struggling [with mental health], and I was going through the same stuff and I ain’t getting nothing. That joint was boiling my blood. […] Now I’m on some, ‘Everybody, it’s kumbaya.’ I ain’t trying to keep harboring these feelings, but I was hot for some time.”

Ja previously accused 50 of being a snitch in relation to this documentary, but his Twitter statements at the time were quite vague. Today (Sunday, December 7), though, he was not ambiguous at all.

“Let’s be real that n***a dgaf about the victims we ALL know why he did the doc…” the Murder Inc. MC wrote. “Herman’s a cancer to the culture if he cares so much then donate the profits to charities for domestic violence…” “I’m not condoning Diddy’s behavior, I’m showcasing Herman’s character…”

“Hermans no different… ALLEGEDLY!!!” he added. Ja Rule’s post went into the allegations that 50 Cent abused his former partner Daphne Joy. It brought up a domestic violence allegation from 2013 and Joy’s doubling down on allegations of sexual assault and physical abuse in 2024. However, she dropped those accusations, and nothing else has come from the speculation.

Why Does 50 Cent Hate Ja Rule?

This is just the latest chapter in 50 Cent and Ja Rule’s infamous beef, which will be over once hell is completely frozen. Their feud began in 1999 due to entourage conflicts and a robbery against Ja, and his animosity afterwards set 50 on a warpath. This stretched out into their commercial dominance in the 2000s. Allies and adversaries quickly took their sides, and they didn’t let any affiliates go without doing so.

Most recently, the G-Unit mogul trolled his Queens enemy for allegedly suffering a jumping at a Brandy and Monica concert. But Ja later claimed that this wasn’t exactly the case, constituting more of an attempt than an attack.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent’s catching heat for his Diddy documentary. Janice Combs, the Bad Boy mogul’s mother, eviscerated Sean Combs: The Reckoning as a defamatory account of his life. The doc also made various allegations against her and concerning her relationship with her son. With all the ruckus so far, we doubt things will slow down soon.

Recently, this resulted in a lawsuit against Cassie over “freak-off” trafficking allegations. But he reportedly hasn’t been able to properly serve her, an issue that no longer exists according to an exclusive AllHipHop report from Grouchy Greg Watkins.

Per the publication, Judge Anne Hwang granted Howard’s motion to serve the singer via alternative means. This is after the federal court concluded that she’s unreachable, citing multiple failed attempts to serve the civil lawsuit via a physical address or via her lawyer Douglas Wigdor.

It’s unclear exactly what these alternative means are. Nevertheless, the judge instructed Clayton Howard to send the summons, order, and complaint to her and attorney Meredith Firetog in order to forward the filings. We will see if this results in an official response and the case’s further development.

Diddy And Cassie Allegations

For those unaware, Clayton Howard’s allegations against Diddy and Cassie are based on his alleged sex work for the Bad Boy mogul’s “freak-off” parties. He claims that they subjected him to sex trafficking, organized exploitative meetings, and subjected him and other alleged sex workers to ritualistic humiliation. While Howard understands Ventura suffered trauma amid this ordeal, he believes she still imposed that drama on far less knowledgable and powerful individuals.

Given Diddy’s prison sentence, it seems like Clayton Howard wants a different form of accountability for the dancer. Now that this lawsuit can move forward through whatever those alternative means are, it will be interesting to see her response. Maybe it doesn’t fully go public or endure the same scrutiny the Sean Combs scandal has. But in any case, it would be an interesting development.

Combs and Cassie’s relationship was also a significant focus of Sean Combs: The Reckoning, as her lawsuit against him is what really set the scandal off. But this isn’t the only controversy the docuseries has brought forth.

“Oh, and also, congrats on your new documentary with 50 Cent. That was you, right?” she remarked, as caught by @scubaryan_ on Twitter. Then, streamer Tylil James asked for the mc and defended Cenat. “If you’re going to be on the mic making jokes, at least let it be funny. Have a good night,” he expressed.

Fans online were not very appreciative of the joke, although others noted how folks in Kai’s fanbase joke incessantly about his supposed physical resemblance to the Bad Boy mogul. Still, many criticized the joke as poorly timed and in poor taste, especially given the severity of what Sean Combs: The Reckoning talks about.

It seems like the Bronx star hasn’t commented on this joke at press time, but we will see if he has anything to say. After all, he’s been offline for some time now, so maybe he just wants to enjoy his time away from the spotlight.

Who Is Streamer FanFan?

For those unaware, FanFan is Twitch streamer who reportedly partnered with the company and is part of the NoPixel community. Her hosting duties caught a lot of flack online, but many feel like it’s disingenuous to pin other technical issues or awkward moments on her. Nevertheless, it certainly caused a big debate for the Streamer Awards.

Elsewhere, Kai Cenat recently dealt with other drama surrounding the family of his girlfriend Gabrielle “Gigi” Alayah. Gigi claimed that she never got true love from her family, whereas her mother claimed that the streamer caused a rift in their family dynamic.

Meanwhile, the Diddy documentary remains quite controversial. In addition to this streaming narrative, hip-hop and many other entertainment sectors have a lot to say. Even Combs’ lawyers are fighting back against it, so we’ll see if that resolves itself in court.

Before we get into this, though, take everything with a massive grain of salt. Ja didn’t name-drop either New York mogul in a series of Twitter posts this week, but it’s hard to interpret the context in any other way. Also, it seems to line up with other criticisms of 50 Cent’s Diddy doc participation. For example, fellow Fif rival Dame Dash called the G-Unit boss out, and it seems like his sworn Murder Inc. enemy agrees.

“You rat, always have been, always will be a f***ing RAT… Used car salesman suit wearing, field goal nose having, Herman Munster head a** n***a…” he wrote on Monday, December 1 before letting off another tweet today (Sunday, December 7). “N***a always telling on somebody… ol dry snitch a** n***a!!!”

What’s more is that the Queens rapper included an emoji of a bouquet of flowers. This is particularly (and possibly) telling due to 50 Cent’s claim that Diddy sent him flowers amid Sean Combs: The Reckoning‘s release.

Why Does 50 Cent Hate Ja Rule & Diddy?

As for why 50 Cent and Ja Rule have beef… How much time do you have? Things started all the way back in 1999 when a 50 affiliate robbed Ja for his chain, sparking tensions between both camps. By the time both of them were huge rap stars in the 2000s, they roped in all of their affiliates into their tension. As two pop-rap hitmakers, the seeds for their conflict grew even before they had the stage to develop it on.

50 Cent’s issues with Diddy are not personal… According to him. But considering all the shade he sent the Bad Boy executive’s way before and especially after his sexual misconduct scandal, folks aren’t buying that suggestive explanation. In fact, 50’s participation in Sean Combs: The Reckoning might start a legal battle with Combs over footage rights and unfair portrayals.

Livebitez caught the rumor on Instagram, sharing a tweet by social media commentator Alexis for GoatTVDaily. “Cardi & Stefon at Booby Trap… Offset pulls up…” she claimed early this morning (Sunday, December 7). “And Stefon’s scary a** really tried to have security block him. Like be serious. Security wasn’t even entertaining that, they let Offset in. I heard there was a lil scuffle once he got inside but nothing more than that.”

Once again, Cardi B denied rumors about her. She took to Livebitez‘s comments section on IG to shut this down. “Not true at all…” the Bronx star wrote. It’s unclear if she’s just denying the former Migo’s appearance or if Diggs wasn’t there either. Either way, this rumor did not last very long before a debunk.

Elsewhere, other Cardi B and Stefon Diggs rumors are speculating about their relationship status. The NFL player sparked marriage rumors due to his reaction to a gift from his New England Patriots’ Spanish media team. They gave him a hoodie that read “Patriots Español,” and he asked for a little one to give to their baby boy and for another one for his “esposa,” the Spanish word for “wife.”

Of course, this could just be a semantics issue. Plenty of folks get away with “wifey” or “hubby” without causing much of a stir. Then again, those people aren’t celebrities who dominate the gossip train, so folks’ wild reactions are at least a little understandable. Still, we don’t have a confirmation, so don’t take this as gospel.

In any case, it’s clear that the couple often claps back at fake rumors about them, even if they don’t employ that strategy for every little thing. Offset has also had to debunk misinformation online, especially as it relates to his former partner and her new boyfriend.

According to AllHipHop, the Compton rapper revealed the news during his recent Los Angeles radio press run with Big Boy’s Neighborhood and The Cruz Show. “I wanted to give fans fresh music this year while preparing for the release of Documentary 3, so I went in and knocked out these 19 tracks with Mike & Keys,” he reportedly stated at some point. “Then we’ll come out on top of the year with the album.” As such, expect The Documentary 3 to come out at some point in January, although a grain of salt is in order.

After all, there was some conclusion as to when this Gangsta Grillz project would come out, and some of The Game’s teased tracks didn’t manifest. For example, he claimed that “Crack Music 2” with Kanye West would appear on this new record, but it looks like that might show up on The Documentary 3 instead.

That, however, would make even more sense. That’s because Kanye West and The Game previewed The Documentary 3 earlier this year.

Did The Game Diss Kendrick Lamar?

Nevertheless, we will see whether or not all of this ends up being true or if The Documentary 3 will take some more time to cook in the oven. Either way, fans already got Every Movie Needs A Trailer, so they’re eating good.

But a big question is hanging around Jayceon Taylor fans right now: did he diss Kendrick Lamar on this mixtape? A few fan theories and responses drew some interesting conversation online. But most fans seem to agree that this is a massive reach.

The Game will most likely deny these claims, as he’s professed nothing but appreciation for Kendrick in recent times. Sure, some of that also came with Drake praise. But Compton sticks together, and it seems like things are okay right now.

These images come from the 2016 retro, so the final 2026 pair may see tweaks, but the core look should stay true. The white leather upper, black mudguard, and subtle hits of red created one of the cleanest Jordan 9s ever made, and the shoe has a special place in the lineup thanks to its connection to Michael Jordan’s “Space Jam” era.

The 9 has always been a little underrated, but this colorway continues to stand out. It carries the international–themed details that defined the model at launch, along with the big embroidered “23” on the heel that always hits.

With Jordan Brand leaning harder into nostalgia, this release feels timed to perfection. Expect hype to build fast as we get closer to the drop, especially with pairs likely landing on SNKRS and at select retailers.

Air Jordan 9 OG “Space Jam”

The Air Jordan 9 OG “Space Jam” features a white leather upper with perforated panels. The black mudguard wraps around the shoe and gives it a clean contrast.

The midsole and outsole follow the same black and white split. Red accents show up on the tongue branding and the embroidered heel number. The shoe has a high-cut build with black rope laces.

Further the heel tab is thick and easy to put on. The outsole traction pattern looks sharp and detailed. Overall, it is a simple and classic colorway that still feels strong today.

Jordan 9 “Space Jam” Release Date

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 9 OG “Space Jam” will be released on August 8th, 2026. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $215 when they drop.

“After watching that Netflix s**t that 50 produced, I don’t trust no celebrity,” he remarked, as caught by Hollywood Unlocked on Instagram. “Thank you, God, that I never wanted nobody’s part. That’s why there’ll never be no features, no studios. Thank you! I’m not even hot no more, nobody even ‘requesting’ me. All that s**t, bro. 50, you showed me something, man. Aye, no excuses.”

“Look, man, I can’t talk to no n***a that got glasses on talking to me every time I see him” Waka added in another clip. “I got to see the lies in your face, I got to see the demon in your eyes, the angel in your eyes, the confidence in your words. I got to know you real with what you saying to me. Can’t trust no n***a wearing glasses all day, man. Look me in my eyes when we talking, man. Real s**t.”

Of course, this is ironic because Fif is a celebrity, and it seems like he took it as more praiseful than anything else. The G-Unit mogul commented “He said f**k that, I’m alright over here by my self. LOL” on Hollywood Unlocked‘s post, and later took to Instagram with his own repost. “WAKA watched that s**t and said oh hell no. LOL,” 50 wrote.

Many fans called out Waka Flocka Flame’s Trump support as another contradiction with this message. Of course, he never meant for this celebrity rejection to be taken seriously, but folks still ran with it.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent’s ABC interview on his Diddy doc captivated fans for reasons that have nothing to do with what he said. On IG, he suggested that he only did it because Sean Combs could watch it from prison, as ABC is one of the few accessible networks and stations for inmates.

TMZ caught a clip of Ye signing records for fans and then walking away with his colleagues, and it’s unclear what the couple is doing in Seoul. Kanye West has performed in Korea various times in the past, although it doesn’t look like he’s planning anything these days. Maybe it will be more of a surprise performance, just some vacation time, some business dealings, or his preferred launch pad for the supposedly incoming next Ye album, Bully.

In any case, fans have very little information to go off of these days. As such, maybe the couple will give more hints or make more outings together that paint a fuller picture. Seems like quite the random overnight trip, but that’s the luxury you have with so much money at your disposal.

Bianca Censori At The Grammys

One of the last major outings this couple made together was Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s 2025 Grammys antics. Back in February, she basically showed up naked to the red carpet before they made a quick exit. This was also amid Ye’s most aggressive and unhinged social media rants, whether they touched on his antisemitism, his misogyny, his feuds, or anything else.

Since then, nothing to that extreme took over the headlines, but they still turn heads everywhere they go. Amid a period of possible accountability for Kanye West, it will be interesting to see if there are big changes in other areas.

Perhaps this South Korea trip is part of those steps towards a more pleasant public image for the couple, which is a two-way street. After all, there’s nothing like a trip to help you unwind.

But with many past controversies and divisive public moves in mind, who knows what comes next? All we hope is that Ye and Bianca are finding their happiness without losing themselves in the process.
