This has raised some questions among fans, and recently, his mother Sonja Norwood took to social media to answer them. In a clip shared by The Shade Room, she explains that Ray J has a heart condition called cardiomyopathy, and that it’s no joke.

“It was so scary and serious that every other word that was explained to us was ‘this is life-threatening,'” she recalled. “They put him on five medications at that hospital, along with an IV to try and increase the flow of blood to his heart.”

“Seven days we were there,” Norwood continued. “Seven days [we watched] him go through much pain, a lot of needles, a lot of testing to determine how serious this was.”

Norwood’s message comes just a couple of weeks after a video of Ray J performing in Louisiana with what looked like blood coming out of his eyes went viral. Needless to say, it sparked tremendous concern among fans, who wondered whether or not he was healthy enough to be onstage at all.

As the video continued to make its rounds online, rumors that the incident was staged began to swirl. Ray J seemingly denied this in a post shared on Facebook. “I want to thank everybody out here for showing us love,” he said. “I’m on my way to Atlanta, and then I’m on my way to L.A. But I just want to thank everybody out here.”

“Forget what they’re talking about. Forget what you’re hearing. Thank you for your prayers,” he added. “Thank you for your love. And again, all we can do is get better. Salute, I love you.”

“If I’m Mr. Beast, I’m never inviting N3on to no sh*t ever again,” DDG began while watching a video of N3on’s comments. “He gassing this sh*t so crazy and then, on top of gassing it, why are you leaking this bro? He didn’t say nothing to my face. Stop lying now. Video would’ve been over. Don’t lie. Wasn’t nothing to my face.”

In the clip DDG was reacting to, N3on remarks: “xQc crashed out. Y’all aren’t gonna see it in the video because Mr. Beast said he’s taking it out… He told DDG, ‘No one listens to your music, your music f*cking sucks,’ to his face, and they were going back and forth.” He also explained that Mr. Beast is going to cut the argument from the video because the two were cursing.

Fans on social media have been having mixed reactions to DDG. “Bro said challenge would’ve been over like reggie ain’t call his music trash to his face and told him he mad he can’t see his kid to his face,” one user replied to the video on X (formerly Twitter). Another added: “The only streamer mrbeast ever inviting is speed. These dudes out here stealing, fighting, and leaking the entire vid before the release lmao.”

DDG’s Beef With xQc

This isn’t the first time DDG has traded shots with xQc. Back in December, xQc and fellow streamer Asmongold accused DDG of viewbotting. He shut down the claim, firing back: “Y’all don’t put these allegations on nobody that looks like y’all, bro… It’s always n****s got a viewbot.”

Asmongold downplayed the racial bias criticism afterward. “I don’t give a s**t,” he said. “Call me whatever you want. Say whatever you want. Cry all you want. The only thing you’re going to do for me is make more content for my, get this, real viewers.”

Madeline was one of Ross’s three sisters. She led a fairly private life, opting to stay out of the spotlight despite her brother’s fame. Ross’s other sister, Naomi, is also an influencer. For now, Ross has not publicly addressed Madeline’s passing.

Social media users are out in full force, offering their condolences to the Ross family as they navigate the loss. “I’m so sorry to hear this. RIP Madeline [prayer emoji]. Condolences to Adin and the entire Ross family during this tough time,” one fan writes on Twitter/X. “Prayers to @adinross and his family man,” another says. Someone else writes, “Now I understand why Adin been gone take your time.”

Adin Ross Addresses Konvy Shooting Incident

News of Madeline’s passing comes just a few weeks after someone else close to Ross, Konvy, was shot at during a livestream. Reportedly, Konvy and a few friends were driving around in New York City when the shooting took place. Konvy walked away unscathed, though one of his friends had to be hospitalized.

Ross later addressed the ordeal during a stream on Kick, confirming that it was real.

“It got confirmed to me that it’s real… I made sure to know it was real,” he explained at the time. “It’s a real situation, it’s not no bulls**t, it’s not no fake s**t, it’s not no f***ing script s**t. This is real.”

Fans showed love to Kurupt and Brown in the comments section. “Love to see you happy and healthy,” one user wrote. Another added: “Shout out to kurupt for keeping rap alive back then and now.” Others left behind heart emojis.

Daz Dillenger previously clued fans in on Kurupt’s health issues in a post on social media in January. At the time, he instructed them to flood the rapper’s Instagram page with supportive messages. “GOD SAID WE SHALL LIVE & NOT DIE. A huge shout out to my big brother @official_kurupt. Wishing you a speedy recovery! I ask all FANZ to flood Kurupt’s Instagram with well-wishes and love,” he wrote. “Reflecting on my cousin Joe, the cool Nate Dogg, and others we’ve lost.

The exact details of Kurupt’s latest health issues remain unclear. It isn’t the first time he’s had an emergency hospital stay in recent years, however. Back in 2019, he was rushed to the hospital after relapsing on alcohol while filming an episode of Marriage Boot Camp.

Two years year, Kurupt opened up to Revolt about his journey towards sobriety. “It’s about the change in my life… I’ve given up liquor; I don’t drink anymore… I’m an alcoholic and I’m working through it,” he said at the time.

Tamang’s mother, Sharmila Tamang, addressed the court at Ghetts’ sentencing hearing. “My son had come for studies to this place but, because of somebody’s mistakes, he has died at a very small age. Yubin was our only child. My son had come for his studies to the UK saying the UK had the best degree in the world. But on his way back from his work this happened and he lost his life,” she said through tears, as caught by The Guardian.

Tamang’s roommate, Sushant Khadka, added a statement that was read aloud: “Yubin was only 20 years old. He had dreams, ambition, plans for his future.”

In his own statement to the court, Ghetts expressed remorse over the situation. “This young man and his family are in my thoughts daily. I cannot express the enormous feeling of guilt and shame I feel for the suffering I have caused,” he wrote.

Ghetts’ Hit-&-Run Arrest

In handing out his ruling, Judge Mark Lucraft KC said CCTV footage displayed a “quite appalling litany of incidents” leading up to the incident, which he labeled “simply shocking.” Ghetts allegedly failed to stop at six red traffic lights and swerved into the wrong side of the road before striking Tamang. He also collided with a motorcyclist and a Mercedes.

Additionally, Ghetts was allegedly over the legal alcohol limit while operating the vehicle. In addition to the 12-year prison sentence, Lucraft also banned Ghetts from getting behind the wheel of a car for 17 years.

“This is a proud moment for me,” London told the outlet. “This is also an important and proud moment for the kids, as they now fully understand their father’s legacy. Nip continues to inspire and motivate his community, which is a true realization of his dreams.”

At the ceremony, London’s son, Kameron Carter, Hussle’s mother, Angelique Smith, and more family members spoke. In addition to Hussle’s family, Los Angeles City Council member Heather Hutt made an appearance and praise his commitment to his hometown. “His love for Los Angeles was insurmountable. He could have invested his money anywhere. Somewhere that cost less, somewhere with less issues, hut he determined that L.A. is where he wanted to be,” she said.

After the city of Los Angeles renamed the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue as “Nipsey Hussle Square,” the rapper’s brother, Blacc Sam, also helped open a new Marathon Burger location in Long Beach on Sunday. Tons of celebrities made appearances at the event, including Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, and YG.

The celebration wasn’t all positive; however, as a nearby shooting almost derailed the event. The attack left one person dead and at least two others injured. A representative for Marathon Burger confirmed afterward that it was unrelated to the opening ceremony. “The opening was a huge success with strong community support,” they told CBS News. “There was an incident nearby, but it was not connected to the event. The opening itself proceeded safely and without issue.”

He insists that Rodriguez’s allegations “have no basis in fact or law and no merit,” per TMZ. Moreover, he alleges that Rodriguez begged for financial assistance after being given a small role in one of his films. According to him, Rodriguez allegedly started making false accusations when he stopped giving him money.

News of Perry’s latest move comes just a couple of months after various text messages allegedly sent to him by Rodriguez surfaced online. In them, he calls Perry a “friend” and asks him for money to cover some dental work.

Mario Rodriguez Leaked Texts

“Brother haven’t been feeling OK confused and lil nauseous,” he wrote in part. “I got blood work thinks its my teeth. I know it’s none of your business idk what do I know I promised you I would never ask you for anything, but if it what I think it is, I don’t think I could do it on my own because I barely pay my bills scared af.” The messages raised some questions, prompting Rodriguez to address them.

“I want to briefly respond to what’s being said about me right now. People are pointing to messages where I was polite, grateful, or vulnerable — and trying to use that to discredit me,” he told PEOPLE in December. “When someone has influence over your career, your income, your future, you don’t feel free. Survivors often stay cordial. They often ask for help when they feel desperate.”

“That does not mean abuse didn’t happen,” he also added. “Those text messages were sent at a time when I was especially vulnerable, as can be seen from the context. Continued financial support and access are not inconsistent with abuse — they are often part of the power dynamics that follow it.”

He brought up Drake while reflecting on how he spent his time when Wayne wasn’t available. “The majority of the time when I wasn’t shooting with Wayne, but when I was on set, Wayne would disappear, and I was just hanging out with Tez [Bryant, Wayne’s ex-manager], Mack Maine, and Nicki Minaj,” he said. “At one point, I spent some time with her before Wayne did The Jimmy Kimmel Show, when nobody knew who she was, and they wouldn’t even let Drake on the bus. He was, like, such a dork that they wouldn’t even let him on the bus.”

He continued: “When he started selling millions and millions of records, it was a different story entirely. But he was definitely not allowed on the bus and wouldn’t hang out with any of [them] because there were real Blood gang members around all the time. And I’m sure he was intimidated by them, too. I was, even though they were super cool to me. These are serious, Blood gang members with guns on them. Like, some sh*t could go down.”

“The Carter” Documentary Sequel

The interview with Andre Gee comes after a fan hacked into Adam Bhala Lough’s Vimeo account, last December. The user leaked his sequel to The Carter documentary. Afterward, Lough uploaded it to his official YouTube page and explained why he did so in the description. “Over the past few years, I’ve been independently assembling a follow-up project using footage unused during the original production. The intention was to privately share a rough cut with Wayne and his team before making any decisions about how it might move forward,” he wrote.

“I decided the most responsible step was to release and verify the material directly so it can be properly managed,” he added. “This isn’t how I originally intended to present the project, but I felt it was important to provide context. Wayne, if you see this, I’m open to connecting.”

Unfortunately, it looks like Saffold’s comment has backfired, as she’s now blocked. She shared the news on her Instagram Story, suggesting that she only made an innocent joke.

“Well I’m blocked in the first trimester,” she declared. “This why people [shouldn’t] have babies with strangers. because if she knew me she would have laughed to because her reaction was hilarious. I’m here girl whenever if ever you need me. And congratulations on my bloodline it’s the cream of the crop.”

Saffold is no stranger to feuding with her son’s romantic partners, so this latest rift doesn’t exactly come as a huge surprise. She’s also dissed Nevaeh in the past, including when the 24-year-old tattooed Blueface’s name under her chin. His name was misspelled, prompting Saffold to set the record straight.

“If y’all want to know how to spell my sons name read the [bible] ,” she wrote at the time. “John 3:16 is a famous Bible verse from the Gospel of John, stating, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him will have ever lasting life .”

Saffold even got into a physical altercation with Nevaeh at an event hosted by N3on in December, shortly after Blueface was released from prison. She later addressed the ordeal, claiming that it was just a misunderstanding and that they were back on good terms.

Black sketched figures cover the white overlays creating an artistic, hand-drawn aesthetic inspired by graffiti. A black tumbled leather Swoosh provides classic contrast against the busy graphic upper materials.

“RECORDS” text appears embossed on the lateral heel in Travis Scott’s signature branding style. Brown outsoles complete the earthy color palette with vintage skate-inspired appeal and functionality built in. There are currently no confirmed plans for an official retail release of this sample.

However, Travis Scott previously released a similar Nike Dunk that shares design DNA with this version. Samples like these often remain exclusive to friends and family or never release at all. The all-over graphic print resembles crowd scenes or abstract figures packed across the overlays.

This artistic approach aligns with Travis Scott’s creative vision and music festival aesthetic perfectly throughout. The SB Dunk Low silhouette provides the ideal canvas for his experimental design concepts.

Travis’s Nike collaborations consistently rank among the most coveted sneakers in resale markets worldwide. Even unreleased samples generate massive hype when images leak online to sneaker communities and forums.

This particular pair could potentially release later, but nothing has been officially confirmed by Nike. Collectors can only hope this sample eventually makes it to production for wider availability someday.

Overall this pair definitely stays consistent with the Travis aesthetic. The sketched figures create this chaotic energy that feels very Travis Scott concert vibes.

The tan and brown color palette keeps things grounded despite the busy upper graphics. Black Swooshes always work perfectly on Dunks regardless of the base colorway chosen. “RECORDS” branding connects to Travis’s Cactus Jack Records label and musical identity clearly.

The SB Dunk Low silhouette is perfect for collaborations because of its skate heritage. This sample proves Travis continues pushing creative boundaries even on unreleased projects constantly.

Hopefully Nike decides to actually release these because they’re genuinely unique and interesting.
