Jalen Hurts Out For The Year After Blood Clots Found In Lungs

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:54:03 +0000

Some rough news out of Philadelphia this morning as Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been diagnosed with multiple blood clots in his lungs. This diagnosis comes just a week after Hurts was diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in his calf.

According to reports, Hurts played with this blood clot during the team’s London game against the Jacksonville Jaguars two Sundays ago. However, he was ruled out against the Carolina Panthers over the weekend.

It was believed that the blood clots were only in his leg. That said, the discovery of more in his lungs is truly horrifying. Now, he must go through rigorous testing and treatment in order to fix the issue. This includes blood thinners and numerous imaging tests to track progress.

Additionally, according to Adam Schefter, it has been revealed that Hurts is officially out for the season.

If you are a football fan, you can’t help but be put off by this report. Mostly due to the fact that the Eagles let Hurts play with this injury, despite being told not to sleep as a precaution.

How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD. https://t.co/rAm0xGNHk0

The Philadelphia Eagles will be scrutinized by reporters this week, and for very good reason. They put Hurts’ health at risk, and it could have gone very badly. A pulmonary embolism is life-threatening if not treated. They can also come out of nowhere, with minimal symptoms to alert you that there is something wrong.

Our thoughts go out to Jalen Hurts during this difficult time. Another reminder that some things are bigger than football.

Pooh Shiesty’s Legal Team Will Challenge 23-Hour Isolation

Aron A. — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:42:51 +0000

Pooh Shiesty remains behind bars as he awaits trial for allegedly holding Gucci Mane at gunpoint, but his attorneys argue that he’s facing major psychological risks as he’s placed in 23-hour isolation. According to Billboard, his legal team plans to challenge the decision to place him in solitary confinement.

Pooh’s attorneys explained how their client has suffered greatly because he’s in solitary confinement. In their filing, they detail how he’s had to deal with increased anxiety, poor sleeping habits, and that the current situation maintains a limitation on family visits. “Mr. Williams reports that the isolation is adversely affecting his mental health,” the attorneys wrote in their briefing. They also mentioned the inaccuracies in why the staff placed him under 23-hour isolation. Apparently, it’s for safety measures, yet they never disclosed what exactly the threat was to begin with.

Pooh Shiesty’s Arrest

The situation stems from the alleged robbery of Gucci Mane earlier this year. Prosecutors said they have video that allegedly shows Gucci Mane being demanded to drop Pooh Shiesty from his label at gunpoint. Pooh Shiesty, along with his dad and Big30, were among the nine men arrested for the alleged incident.

Big30 was later released from custody but over the weekend, he shared a message of solidarity with Pooh Shiesty. “As we fight this case together, we still got all the club venues and arenas going crazy I’m on house arrest you in a cell they going crazy like we present… Never give up on us we God favorite,” he wrote alongside a photo of the two of them.

Meanwhile, Gucci Mane just dropped off his new project, Against On Odds, over the weekend, which contains a handful of shots at his former 1017 signees, including Pooh Shiesty. Earlier this year, Gucci also released “Crash Dummy” in response to the incident where he also threw shade at Pooh.

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:42:01 +0000

A$AP Rocky dropped a new song called “Shroom Clouds” on Friday alongside Jeremih and reggie. Overall, this is a surrealist track that is set to appear on the artist’s upcoming Don’t Be Dumb Disc 2 deluxe.

This new deluxe is going to feature songs that have been in the vault for years. As a result, fans are looking forward to the project. That said, a release date has not been formally announced. Given Rocky’s history, fans should probably proceed with caution before getting too excited.

On Monday, Rocky actually surprised his fans by coming through with a music video for “Shroom Clouds.” This new video is just as surreal as the song, and it is directed by him, as well as Aisulton Seitov and Pietro Biz Biasia. North of Now and Partizan are the producers on this visual.

A$AP Rocky’s “Shroom Clouds” Video

This visual release is further proof that A$AP Rocky is in rollout mode. After teasing Disc 2 for the better part of the year, he has a new single and a new video out. That tells us that he has the creative juices flowing and is looking to connect with his fanbase.

Ultimately, we will have to wait and see as it pertains to the release date of this deluxe album. As we have stated before, the artist has been known to delay things. After all, Don’t Be Dumb was years in the making following the 2018 release of TESTING.

Let us know what you think of this music video, in the comments below.

Natalia Bryant Shines At Victoria’s Secret 2026 Fashion Show

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:16:46 +0000

Natalia Bryant, the 23-year-old daughter of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant, made her debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Sunday. It was a major achievement for the model, who has done past work with the likes of Adidas and Versace.

Bryant got to do her runway walk as part of the Pink portion of the night. For those who are unaware, Pink is a sub-label of Victoria’s Secret. Therefore, her look didn’t include the wings like some of the other models had. Instead, Natalia Bryant sported a streetwear-inspired look that still contained the high fashion sensibilities of the brand.

This outfit included lots of bedazzled elements. Overall, that included Bryant’s jeans, which were covered in colorful gems. Her bra was black with Pink written in pink leopard-print font. From there, she also had a pink shrug to bring it all together.

The accessories were also something to behold. From the tiara to the purse to the stuffed dogs hanging off her belt loops.

Natalia Bryant wasn’t the only famous person in attendance at the show. Models like Irina Shayk and Gigi Hadid were also present. Meanwhile, as we previously reported, Megan Thee Stallion brought the house down with her performance.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been a staple of the fashion and lingerie world for years at this point. The inclusion of Bryant just goes to show that she is a star in the modeling world. Her work with other big brands further validates this to be the case.

room service – Song by xaviersobased

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 13:54:50 +0000

xaviersobased is one of those artists who continues to elevate his sound. With every new project and single, he tries to evolve. However, he does so by keeping the sonics that made him so popular in the first place. Just with some different flows and heavier textures. That is certainly the case on his latest single, “room service.” With production from cruwiththe2, we get some special drum rhythms that Xavier is able to cruise over. He’s in the pocket on this one, and it feels like he just can’t miss at this point.

Songwriter Reveals Which Ariana Grande Song Was Meant For Beyoncé & JAY-Z

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 13:22:22 +0000

JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s 2018 album Everything Is Love was a hit amongst fans. There were some dope songs on the tracklist, and some wonder if another Carters project is in the cards.

According to songwriter Ilya Salmanzadeh, there is a famous Ariana Grande song which almost appeared on Everything Is Love. During an interview with Ross Golan on And The Writer Is…, Salmanzadeh admits that “God Is A Woman” was originally written with Hov and Bey in mind. However, after a writing session with Grande, it became clear that this would be her song.

“It didn’t happen,” Ilya said matter-of-factly. In case you are unaware, “God Is A Woman” was a smash hit in 2018, and it appeared on Grande’s album Sweetener. Furthermore, it hit number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s also currently four times platinum.

JAY-Z & Beyonce Almost Had God Is A Woman”

“When we started again with Ari, we were thinking maybe it could be her singing the chorus, and we’d get a rap feature, but then when she heard the song, she was like, ‘No, we’re writing this for me.’ I was like, ‘Okay, fine.’ She just wrote all the verses and the pre-chorus and all those crazy harmonies that are in there. She did it all that day,” Salmanzadeh explained.

While the song turned out to be perfect for Grande, you cannot help but wonder what this song would have sounded like in JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s hands. It’s one of those “what if” scenarios fans love to speculate about.

That said, Grande did suit the track, and it will forever be hers.

The outfit also included black stockings and a bedazzled lingerie top that paired nicely with the glitz and glamour of the wings. Overall, it was the kind of outfit you would expect from Megan Thee Stallion at this kind of event.

OTF Jam Takes Another Shot At Lil Durk From Behind Bars

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:24:20 +0000

During Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire trial back in September, much was made of OTF Jam’s testimony. Jam was considered the prosecution’s star witness. He immediately pointed the finger at Durk, claiming that the rapper was the mastermind behind the death of Lul Pab.

However, during cross-examination, Durk’s legal team did a good job of questioning Jam’s credibility. This questioning did a number on the jury, who opted to acquit Durk on all charges.

Now, Jam remains in prison as he awaits further sentencing for his role in the situation. As for Durk, he remains in jail ahead of a bond hearing on November 5. He is also facing a VICAR trial in August of 2027. If he can beat that case, then he will officially become a free man.

In the midst of all of this, Jam is seemingly operating an Instagram account from prison. While it could be someone else posting for him, recent posts have suggested that it’s allegedly him. That said, last night, Jam took to Instagram with the famous jail cell clip from Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. He captioned the video with “The Nation of Lil Durks.”

Despite everything, OTF Jam is still finding the time to poke at Lil Durk while locked up. It’s an interesting strategy, although it doesn’t appear to be swaying public opinion in his favor.

Ultimately, fans are eager to see where things go for Lil Durk. The Free Durk movement was holding strong throughout the trial, and there is no doubt that there was elation upon the not guilty verdict.

Now, with this VICAR trial looming, there will certainly be plenty of eyes on the Chicago MC.

Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro “Mamba Eterno”

Ben Atkinson — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 01:56:00 +0000

Nike has added a Dunk Low to its “Mamba Eterno” collection, and it looks very different from the rest. The Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro “Mamba Eterno” is set to release on October 30th for $130.

The other pairs in the collection go bright orange. This one goes darker and more worn. The upper mixes red and orange woven fabric across the toe, sides, and collar. Distressed black overlays sit on top, with matching Swooshes.

Underneath, the midsole is an aged off-white and the outsole is dark. Together, they give the pair a lived-in feel.

Kobe’s gold Sheath logo sits on the tongue, and his signature is stitched on the heel. The insoles are mismatched, with one purple and one green. Both carry gold “Mamba Eterno” lettering.

Nike also includes extra laces in pink, white, and black, so you can switch up the look. Pairs should be available through Nike.com and select retailers. The style code is IQ3922-001.

Overall, it is a fun way to bring the holiday theme to a more street-ready shoe. It is part of a 4-shoe set that also includes an Air Force 1, the Kobe 3 Low Protro, and the Kobe A.D. Protro.

The Kobe Dunk Low Protro has become one of Nike’s most interesting Kobe projects. It first arrived in June with the “Draft Day” pair, which cost $145.

Since then, Nike has released a WNBA All-Star pair and an FC Barcelona version. By one count, this is the fifth Kobe Dunk Low Protro on the 2026 calendar.

Día de los Muertos is the theme tying the collection together. The Kobe 3 Low Protro and A.D. Protro use bright orange, while the Dunk Low goes in the opposite direction.

That contrast is a smart choice. Not everyone wants a loud floral print, and the darker Dunk gives fans another route into the collection. Also at $130, it is cheaper than the Kobe 3 Low Protro at $190 and the Kobe A.D. Protro at $155.
