The outlet obtained security camera footage from the property last week, showing three men in hoodies allegedly breaking into the home, raiding it, and leaving out the back door with bags full of valuable items. The “Not Like Us” producer’s ex-wife told TMZ she wasn’t at home when the alleged burglary occurred, which allegedly involved the perpetrators breaking a window to get in the home and macing her dog.

Thierry also claimed she saw the alleged burglars via her security system and rushed home to stop them. They allegedly tried to escape when she got there but crashed into her Mercedes, forcing them to hit the road on foot. Chanel claimed she followed them in her car until police arrived at her location and arrested the alleged burglars.

What’s more is that Chanel Thierry also took to social media to speak about this on Instagram and other social media pages, reposting some coverage and speaking out about the situation. She said the “traumatic” and “heartbreaking” experience affected her kids as well, claiming the perpetrators had been stalking her.

Also, Thierry said this was the third instance of this she faced over the past year and the fourth over four years, expressing fear of being targeted. She also said all three 18-year-old suspects (Jaydan Faulkner, George Richmond, and Jaymere Laushaul) posted bail and will face court soon.

Hopefully Chanel Thierry doesn’t face any more scary situations like these in the future.

Elsewhere, Mustard is still the subject of beef thanks to some fresh ICEMAN disses from Drake, adding to the saga of the 2024 rap war. Beyond that, though, the producer remains pretty low-key overall, and it doesn’t seem like he responded to this story about his ex-wife at press time. We’ll see if that changes at some point soon.

This week, the Canadian rapper was spotted at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto dressed up as one of Marvel’s most recognizable heroes: Iron Man. And it looks like he was shooting a new music video. Naturally, this raised questions about what he’s shooting exactly. Some people suspect it could be for something from the ICEMAN trilogy, which hasn’t received many other visual treatments outside of those that debuted in his final livestream episode.

However, this also fuels theories that Drake has a fourth project that he’s readying to release before the year ends. Considering that he already released three, one of which remained at the top of the Billboard 200 for a few weeks, it seems like it could be a bit of overkill for most. But his fans evidently will eat up anything that he serves, so it should be interesting to see what direction this supposed project might head in.

Is Drake Dropping A New Album Before 2026 Ends?

Over the past few weeks, Drake has been teasing something titled FOMO. What began as an Instagram post ultimately fueled theories online, and Drake recently liked a post that suggested that it was a new project, which comes across as a confirmation of sorts. 

In addition, he also had recent appearances on projects from Karol G and The Game that have gained plenty of traction. Despite his minimal contributions to The Game’s “No Brakes,” it’s sparked plenty of dialogue online.

We will keep you posted on any further updates surrounding the project and anything else Drake is up to.

As caught by Victor Baez on Twitter, Stove God couldn’t confirm or deny if the Roc’s boss was dropping soon, or even making a new album at all. But it looks like we might get a collaboration between them at some point in the near future, as Stove God Cooks has plenty of album demand himself.

“I sent Hov a hook. Don’t let me get on this album,” he remarked, which set Joe Budden and his cohosts off. They immediately buzzed about the claim and prepared to get more info. “Now we gon’ talk,” Cooks added with a laugh.

“I’m not confirming that big home got an album coming out,” he expressed. “But big home, if you got an album coming out, use that hook I sent you. You know I was talking on that verse. Let’s do that. And I don’t want nothing. And keep everything. Just send a Roc chain. I don’t want no percentage. Just send a Roc chain.”

Is Jay-Z’s New Album Done?

Other Jay-Z album rumors included direct responses from Roc Nation. When Ray Daniels claimed the album was done and was just looking for a partnership to drop it through, the Roc denied this claim outright. But Daniels doubled down later, suggesting the response confirms he wasn’t that far off in the first place.

As for Stove God Cooks’ album conversations, he has even asked Hov in the past to help him with his label and recording situations. Fans have been asking for a project from him for a very long time, and maybe this will all resolve itself soon.

As such, we will just have to wait and see if any of these album rumors in either direction will manifest. Concerning Hov, 2026 has been a massisve year for him, so the timing feels right.

On a number of occasions, Steel poked holes in OTF Jam’s testimony and claims against Lil Durk and the other co-conspirators. According to Michael Blackshire, Steel, at one point, played a recording of Jam telling the FBI that Durk never actually said he was going to put up money for a hit on Quando Rondo and Lul Timm. When Jam said “it’s more to it than that,” Steel quickly fired back that “there’s always more to it than that with you.” However, Steel ultimately made Jam admit that his statements to him were contrary to what he told the jury.

OTF Jam & Brian Steel Face Off In Lil Durk Trial

OTF Jam’s testimony shed some significant light on the alleged dynamics between himself and Lil Durk. He reportedly claimed that he never actually got paid for any of the alleged hits. But what was probably the most telling part of Jam’s testimony came just before the court went to lunch on August 27th, when he said, “This may be hard to believe because of what I’m doing… I still have love for him, I just don’t have no respect for him.”

Durk’s murder-for-hire trial continues today as Brian Steel completes the remainder of his cross-examination of OTF Jam, which will surely reveal much more. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates on the case.

It all has the vibe of a big block party and just a typically bustling day in New York City, and it fits with the rambunctious vibe of Cardi B’s newest single. It was her first solo release since the release of her long-awaited sophomore album AM I THE DRAMA? last year, and she clearly wants to give it more legs.

While there aren’t any wild or super striking elements in this video beyond the skillful craft, it’s nice to see the Bronx superstar work well with simple concepts. The video goes by quick and it feels much more at home than other, more dramatic treatments.

We’ll see if she has even more material on the way. After all, following up a long-awaited studio album return by keeping the foot on the gas seems like a great way to maintain hype.

Cardi B’s New Music Video

“AH HA” is taking the Bardi Gang beyond the AM I THE DRAMA? era, but Cardi B’s still dealing with fallout from that project. That’s mostly due to the BIA diss track “Pretty & Petty,” the big explosive point of a long-running feud.

There are still some emotions to deal with despite the back-and-forth dying down in the booth. Earlier this month, BIA apologized for being shady to Doja Cat, which led Cardi fans to call her out for not having similar energy for her. Clearly, the Massachusetts femcee is not going to forgive her anytime soon, and she sees the situations as very different.

We’ll see if there’s anything about this of consequence beyond social media responses and shade. While another diss track doesn’t seem in the cards, it wouldn’t be too out of the ordinary.

Meanwhile, Cardi B’s collaborative efforts this year have also made a splash, such as her appearance on the posthumous Nipsey Hussle album. Perhaps there are even more releases and visuals in store before 2026 is out.

Of course, Kodak’s inclusion should come as no surprise as one of the biggest rappers out of Florida in the past decade, Grand Theft Auto‘s new-ish setting. There will probably be some more MCs out of Miami in the game, maybe through the alleged “Dirty South Classics” radio station.

Cash Money would certainly fit into that wide categorization, which makes “Pop Bottles” another no-brainer. But beyond classics, there might be some newer names that make appearances, which brings us to “Pound Town.” Sexy and the late Keith’s strong chemistry yielded a lot of hits, and this firmly situates the game in the 2020s in ways players will be excited to explore.

Beyond hip-hop, though, there will also be some crossovers and explorations of the genre from other parts of the world. For example, the GTA VI extended look also included “Se Me Nota (Agarrame),” a dembow banger from Chimbala, Omega, and B One El Productor De Oro. Hopefully there are even more hip-hop-adjacent genres that speak to Florida and its communities.

GTA VI‘s Rap Songs

Elsewhere, Rockstar Games has been dealing with GTA VI leaks, which they responded to recently. “Having videos of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time,” they stated. “We are very sorry that everything has taken as long as it has — from getting the game finished (nearly there!) to sharing more details and official gameplay, and providing the community with everything you want to know.”

Finally, the “we got [blank] before GTA VI” will end soon. These hip-hop inclusions are just one part of a more widely exciting rollout, and we’ll see what else soundtracks this experience.

According to XXL and Michael Blackshire, Jam testified yesterday (Thursday, August 27) during day four of the Durk murder-for-hire trial. He said he talked to the FBI about the Los Angeles shooting because the murder was “sloppy.”

“I had to get off my chest, I saw the opportunity,” the OTF affiliate reportedly remarked. “I felt it was dumb in a sloppy matter. People who shouldn’t have been there… I thought it was sloppy. I didn’t know [Lul Pab]. In my eyes, he was innocent. I just said I don’t have beef with him.”

OTF Jam claimed he spoke with Smurk after the murder and claimed he was happy with Pab’s death. He reportedly claimed the OTF boss took advantage of him, which made him lose respect for Durk. “I still got a lot of love for [Durk],” Jam reportedly said. “Blood was there for me… I feel bad, I know he probably hate me. I got love for him, I just don’t have respect for him.”

Also, OTF Jam said his testimony could kill him due to his previous gang affiliations. “As a Black disciple, that’s breaking all laws,” he reportedly shared. “You can snitch on a opp and get f***ed up.”

How Long Has Lil Durk Been In Jail?

Lil Durk has been facing these charges ever since his arrest in October of 2024. Since that development, he’s been behind bars fighting against the murder-for-hire accusations and preparing his legal defenses with his team. Now, these witnesses and testimonies are adding another problem on his docket.

OTF Jam’s testimony about Lil Durk has been very controversial, with even some hip-hop artists like Meek Mill speaking out against it. He claimed involvement in Lul Pab’s murder and painted Durk as the one behind the whole thing. We will see how future trial developments give more context and weight to these divisive comments.

As reported by journalist Meghann Cuniff, the final witness in this case was Dan Long, a retired police detective for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. He investigated the murder of Tupac from 2004 to 2017 and claimed he didn’t know that Keefe D’s 2008 cooperation with Los Angeles police, Compton police, the DEA, and the FBI regarding the murder was a protected proffer tied to a major drug case.

“I was told that he had been Duane Davis was arrested on a drug, a major drug case, and he was facing the rest of his life in prison. And he was trying to work that case off,” Long reportedly stated on the stand.

How Long Has Keefe D Been In Jail?

The detective spoke with Keefe in 2009 in L.A., and presumed he was trying to get out of the drug case by providing information about the shooting. However, he allegedly did not know the full extent of the cooperation and the alleged deal with other authorities.

Detective Dan Long said his intent after the interview was to “drive back to Las Vegas, type opener warrant for an arrest, clear it with the district attorney, and have Mr. Davis arrested for murder.” However, he claimed the district attorney said they would not pursue a prosecution. Long reportedly claimed he and his team tried to find the specific proffer details, but were not successful. Also, he brought up how it was difficult to corroborate Keefe’s details, adding more doubt and shadows to this legal case’s evolution and its opportunities for prosecution over the years.

Authorities eventually arrested Keefe D in September of 2023, which later brought us to where we are now with the trial. After almost three years behind bars, we’ll soon see how this all wraps up.

As caught by No Jumper on Instagram, Tekashi responded to this by flaunting how multiple news sources with multiple alleged biases are referencing Jam’s controversial testminony and his name-dropping. He also mocked Durk’s Muslim faith and “promoted” a new fashion style trolling his alleged “one foot in, one foot out” behavior.

Not only that, but the New York provocateur also announced plans to host a “going-away party” for The Voice. He invited DJ Akademiks to the event during a phone call on Ak’s stream, which Akademiks TV caught on Twitter.

“When this n***a get found guilty, you coming to my party?” Tekashi asked. Akademiks did not seem super conducive to the idea, and we will see where the trolling goes from here.

Lil Durk & 6ix9ine Beef

This conflict between 6ix9ine and Lil Durk has also caused more conversations about snitching. That’s because the former painted the latter’s efforts to shift blame for the murder-for-hire on another person as ratting. But a lot of folks pushed back on this narrative, whether they are just fans, legal experts, or close associates with the case.

Meanwhile, OTF Jam and Lil Durk caught heat over this back-and-forth, with various factions and sides calling both of them snitches. It’s a difficult conversation to have, especially due to the disconnect between legal standards and street codes. But it won’t get any easier to navigate, so the court must focus on the facts of the trial above all else.

We will see if Lil Durk himself or others eventually have any responses to trolling from 6ix9ine and the rest of their opposition. It seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened. Elsewhere, further deliberations in the case will probably hold more divisive explorations of hip-hop media and discourse concerning this situation.
