Yesterday, we reported that Ivanna Ortiz was given a psychological evaluation and was deemed fit to stand trial. Today, she had another court hearing, where she was presented with 14 charges, many of which were both new and upgraded. Ortiz faces an attempted murder charge, as well as 10 counts of using an assault weapon. There are also three counts of three felony counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper. 

As Rolling Stone reports, Ortiz pleaded not guilty to the charges as she stares down life in prison. Ortiz will be back in court on October 29.

Ivanna Ortiz Pleads Not Guilty

“This is a person who wanted to kill Rihanna, and everyone else was collateral damage,” District Attorney Alexander Bott said.

In a YouTube video uploaded on January 4 of 2026, Ortiz made threats towards Riri. “Listen, Rihanna. When you die, God is taking me to my future. You want to kill me. Shut the fuck up,” Ortiz said.

“Opening fire in any populated neighborhood is extremely dangerous, puts lives at risk, and will be fully prosecuted,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said following the announcement of the charges months ago. “Thankfully, no one was injured in this shooting, but this careless violence will not be tolerated in our community. Such shooters will find their next destination to be our jails and prisons.”

Stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates on this developing story.

Jordan wore the white home jersey during Chicago’s 96-54 blowout win over the Utah Jazz, part of a series the Bulls eventually won 4-2 for Jordan’s 6th and final championship. He dropped 24 points in that specific game, helping give the Bulls a 2-1 series lead.

The jersey came with a MeiGray photomatching certificate along with documented provenance dating back to a previous private collector. Joopiter, the auction house founded by Pharrell Williams, listed the piece under a lot titled “Driven to Greatness.”

Ahead of the sale, Joopiter had estimated the jersey would fetch somewhere between $10 million and $15 million. The final price landed within that range, confirming just how much demand existed for a piece this significant.

This marks the only publicly known white jersey from that entire 1998 Finals run to ever surface for sale, adding to its rarity beyond just the price tag.

Michael Jordan’s Game-Worn Jersey Auction

This auction breaks the previous record set by Jordan’s Game 1 jersey from that same 1998 Finals series, which sold for $10.1 million back in 2022 through Sotheby’s. Both jerseys came from Jordan’s final season with the Bulls, “The Last Dance.”

Game-worn Jordan gear continues to generate massive prices, largely because the NBA had no league-wide tracking program at the time. Teams routinely washed and reused jerseys, making documented, single-game pieces like this one extremely rare compared to modern athlete memorabilia.

That scarcity is part of why prices keep climbing every time a new Jordan piece hits the block. Today’s athletes often have jerseys swapped out after nearly every game, making a true 1-of-1 almost impossible to find outside of Jordan’s era.

Jordan’s items have consistently set the bar for sports memorabilia sales overall, regardless of era or sport. This latest result only reinforces just how much collectors are still willing to pay for a tangible piece of his legacy.

Rocky has not been this accessible to the fans since 2018, when he came through with TESTING. However, throughout all of these various rollouts, the artist has been promising his fans a deluxe project. This deluxe is also known as DISC 2, and it has proven to be an exciting prospect. Unfortunately, just like the original Don’t Be Dumb, it has been hit with all sorts of delays.

Well, a new development suggests that this deluxe project could actually be on the horizon a lot sooner than we think. According to Rocky’s website, there are new DISC 2 merch pieces that are officially available to pre-order.

A$AP Rocky To Release A Deluxe Soon

There are multiple merch pieces with the DISC 2 nomenclature. However, at this time, there is no telling whether or not the album is actually coming soon. His website says that the items ship on December 18, but that doesn’t mean the album is dropping. That date could simply be a placeholder.

Rocky fans are used to waiting a long time between albums, so if he’s not actually dropping anytime soon, fans will just charge it to the game. However, there is no denying that this merch drop is going to get some of his fans excited.

A deluxe for Don’t Be Dumb would be appreciated. Unfortunately, these pieces are all anyone has to go off of right now. Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for updates.

A crackled black and tan leather covers the upper, giving the shoe a worn-in, almost scorched look. Red and black elephant print wraps the toe and heel, while a brown mudguard and grey suede panels break up the design further.

Embroidered Nike Air branding on the heels adds a premium touch not often seen on standard retros. The insoles carry “checked it twice” lettering, a playful nod to Santa’s naughty list that ties directly into the shoe’s name.

A green detail hidden on the outsole adds one more subtle seasonal touch, easy to miss unless you’re really looking closely at the shoe.

This pair serves as a darker look to the’ “Santa” colorway also releasing this season. Together, both shoes reference a 1985 Nike Christmas ad that famously showed Santa coming down a chimney in Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” sneakers.

Air Jordan 3 “Not Nice”

Holiday-themed Jordans have become a real tradition over the past few years, growing more elaborate with each release. “Not Nice” joins the red “Santa” Air Jordan 3 and “Fireside” Air Jordan 12 as part of this year’s seasonal rollout.

Leaning into a burnt, coal-like aesthetic gives this pair a distinct identity compared to typical Christmas colorways. Rather than bright reds and greens, Jordan Brand went with a darker look to match the theme.

It also builds on last year’s “Krampus” SB Dunk, continuing Nike’s pattern of darker, mischief-themed holiday releases across different silhouettes. That approach gives sneakerheads something a little different to chase beyond the usual cheerful holiday drops.

Choosing the Air Jordan 3 for this reference is a bit of an unusual pick too, given the original 1985 ad actually featured the Air Jordan 1. Still, the Jordan 3 has had a strong year overall, making it a fitting canvas for a release like this one.

Fortunately, that doesn’t mean that Thugger is taking a step back as an artist in any way. The rapper is currently working on a follow-up to Uy Scuti, and it’s apparently sounding quite promising. FBG Goat suggested that it could be some of his best work in recent times.

“This new @thuggerthugger1 album bout to be a masterpiece and Will be #1 I stamp that,” FBG Goat commented under a recent post.

Hopefully, we can be the judge of that ourselves. So far, Thug hasn’t provided any concrete details on when we could expect to hear new music from him.

Young Thug’s Next Move?

The upcoming project could be a make-or-break moment in the eyes of his fanbase and hip-hop at large. During a recent livestream, Akademiks explained how he felt that fans could end up viewing Young Thug as someone who is no longer in his prime if he doesn’t deliver on his next project. His latest projects that he’s released since he was arrested haven’t necessarily been met with a warm reception. Ak explained that Thug could end up moving toward a space where he’s finding artists and signing them to his label rather than releasing music actively. Evidently, Thug’s ear for talent is unlike anyone else’s, so it’s going to be interesting to see how this next iteration of YSL moves forward.

Check out FBG Goat’s comments above and let us know what you think. Do you feel that Young Thug could make a major creative comeback on his upcoming project? Sound off in the comments below.

Nevaeh is no longer living with the rapper turned streamer, and the two are still talking about it on their respective platforms. In fact, during a recent livestream, Blueface made a serious allegation against Nevaeh that could land her in hot water.

He claims that she stole his Range Rover. He can’t tell the insurance company about it, especially since the car was not crashed. Instead, he is thinking of reporting the car as stolen.

“I won’t be able to tell the insurance company anything, and I’m not going to say I crashed it. So, we’ll just report it as stolen,” Blueface said.

Blueface Accuses Nevaeh of Theft

It remains to be seen if Blueface actually does file a report. He has been known to reconcile with his girlfriends in the past, and if he does, he probably won’t care so much about the car.

That said, it has been a whirlwind few months for Blueface thanks to his streaming endeavors. He has quickly become one of the biggest content creators on Kick. Last week, he revealed that he is now making upwards of $136K per week.

If he continues on that trajectory for an entire year, he stands to make well over $7 million. It’s a huge turn of events for someone who was stuck doing reality TV on OnlyFans, all while his music becomes more and more niche.

Blueface is someone who is in the news cycle every day, and that would not be the case without streaming.

On Tuesday, NBC News came out with a report claiming that Diddy has been spending lots of money in prison. The outlet claims he has a cellphone and has even started receiving cooked meals from other inmates. More salacious details include Diddy looking at nudes on his phone, all while receiving Chinese massages.

It was also alleged that Diddy used his phone to watch Sean Combs: The Reckoning. As you can imagine, this is a detail that has amused 50 Cent. He even reacted to the news on his Instagram page.

“Hahahahaha check out my Emmy award wing doc sean Combs the Reckoning available on Netflix coming to a prison near you. LOL STREET FIGHTER,” 50 Cent wrote.

Of course, that list bit was about 50 Cent’s new movie, Street Fighter, which is set to be released on October 16. This new film features Fif playing Balrog, who is a boxer.

50 Cent’s media endeavors have certainly become his focus as of late. With the artist phasing out of music and performing in front of audiences, you can expect him to do a lot more producing and acting over the course of the next decade.

As for Diddy, he is expected to be released from FCI Fort Dix on January 21, 2028. His release date has been changed on numerous occasions, so it remains to be seen if this date will stick.

“The business of music has gotten far from our hands,” he wrote. “The way it operates and the decisions being made that shape the business do not align with talent at all, just viral moments.”

Then, he directed his issues toward the label executives who’ve devalued music to pennies, especially as it relates to how streaming numbers translate to album sales. “Whoever made up 1500 streams a sale is insane and whatever music artist or black person that was in the room when that decision was made help set the music eco system back 10 years for the artist and consumer! How did that come about?” he added.

Meek Mill Calls Out Streaming Services

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

While streaming remains the primary method of consuming music, the way that streams are calculated does seem unfair for the artist. Billboard charts determine sales based on streaming tier–one album sale can come from 1,000 paid subscription streams or 1,500 ad-supported streams. 

His recent comments come shortly after he unloaded some new music on fans. The rapper delivered “Philly Heathens” and “Am I Wrong,” which interpolates Nico & Vinz’s song. And while the latter did face a bit of pushback for the sample, Meek’s latest releases prove that fans are still hopeful that he’ll come through with more new music more frequently. Check out his recent comments above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.

This included things like massages, meals, Hennessy, and even a phone. A spokesperson for Diddy was quick to call the reporting out as completely frivolous, and that it shouldn’t actually matter.

“The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs’s life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news,” Diddy’s spokesperson said. “The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence while awaiting the court’s decision on his appeal.”

Perhaps the most stunning revelation from the NBC report is that Diddy has a phone with nudes on it. These nudes were allegedly sent to him by a former girlfriend.

Diddy’s Prison Life Explained

The prison has been made aware of this, although a spokesperson said that it is not something they are able to get a full grip on. As it turns out, contraband is a serious problem amongst more than just Diddy.

“Like all correctional agencies, contraband, particularly cell phones, narcotics, and weapons, remains a constant challenge, and we continue to tackle the problem of contraband being introduced into our facilities,” a prison spokesperson said.

As you can imagine, this is a story that has elicited some strong reactions over on social media. Many fans portrayed their amusement, while others were simply skeptical about the timing of all of this.

Social Media Reacts

For instance, one commenter suggested that it’s weird timing for this to have been revealed when Diddy’s prison sentence got reduced. He is now expected to leave prison on January 21, 2028. You can see the reactions, below.

He has also been arrested during this time. Furthermore, a few years ago, Mark Cuban attempted to help West. The former Dallas Mavericks owner got him into rehab, which led to a job at that same facility.

After years of struggles, West appears to be doing okay again. In fact, he has been doing some livestreams here and there with N3on. They have seemingly developed a real friendship, and on Tuesday, N3on surprised West with a lavish gift.

In the clip below, West is left completely speechless as N3on shows him his brand new Maserati.

Delonte West Gets A New Car

It’s a Maserati SUV, which can cost over $100K brand new. That’s not a gift you buy someone unless you care deeply for their well-being and want them to be taken care of.

N3on is someone who has been controversial in his own right over the years. He grew his platform on the basis of being an edgelord. He has even been called out for his past racism by platforms like The Breakfast Club.

Over the last year or so, N3on has been attempting to change that image. He has mostly been successful in that endeavor, especially with his befriending of Delonte West. However, there are still those who are skeptical of his intentions.

Let us know what you think of N3on as a streamer in the comments below.
