Yachty has built one of the more interesting Nike relationships in music over the past few years. His previous collaborations have leaned into bold color choices and unconventional design decisions.

This new Air Force 1 Mid continues that direction confidently. The blue and red combination is loud without being chaotic and the construction details make it worth studying closely.

The “404 Day” reference is significant. April 4th is celebrated as a day of Atlanta pride. Tying a Nike drop to that cultural moment makes sense for Yachty, who has always worn his Atlanta identity openly. Whether this is a confirmed April release or simply a nod to the occasion has not been officially clarified.

What is clear is that the shoe looks ready. Yachty showing it on his own stories suggests the release is close. Nike Air Force 1 Mid collaborations have become increasingly desirable over the past few seasons and this colorway has the visual energy to stand out in a crowded market.

Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Blue/Red”

The Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Blue/Red” is built on a bold two-tone foundation. Deep navy blue covers the base of the shoe from the midsole upward across most of the upper.

Bright red leather panels sit on top, creating a sharp color block effect across the toe box and ankle collar. Red laces thread through the eyelets aggressively. Silver stitching traces the panel edges throughout, adding a detailed contrast element that rewards closer inspection.

A small red Nike swoosh sits on the lateral side. The overall look is loud, intentional, and unmistakably Yachty in its fearless approach to color.

The original Mercurial Superfly 1 was a landmark release when it debuted 17 years ago. It introduced Flywire cables and a carbon fiber soleplate at a time when boot technology was being completely reimagined.

Ronaldo was at his absolute peak during that era. The boot and the CR7 became inseparable in the cultural memory of football.

For this remake, Nike is preserving the original upper design while updating the soleplate with Mercurial technology. That combination gives collectors the look of the original with the performance of what Nike builds today. The “Max Orange/Metallic Silver” colorway is back in full.

This is also Ronaldo’s first signature Nike boot since the 2022 World Cup. That alone makes this release significant beyond the nostalgia factor. A gold CR7 colorway is also expected to follow later in the summer.

With Portugal heading into their sixth World Cup with Ronaldo, Nike is positioning this relaunch as one of the defining football footwear moments of 2026. From a boot perspective, it earns that billing.

Nike Mercurial Superfly 1 x CR7

The Nike Mercurial Superfly 1 “Max Orange” is a split colorway that runs bold orange across one half of the boot and metallic silver across the other. The design is aggressive and theatrical in a way that few football boots have matched before or since.

Flywire cables run along the upper for lockdown fit, while the carbon fiber soleplate keeps the build light and responsive. The etched upper texture that made the original so recognizable in 2009 returns here in faithful form.

Inside, a special CR7 insole label reads “Made for Greatness.” It is a complete tribute to one of football’s most important boot releases ever produced.

Ovrnundr reports that the Kids Of Immigrants x Nike T90 Mule is releasing in the summer of 2026.

The timing connects directly to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will see matches played in Los Angeles. Kids of Immigrants is a Los Angeles brand built by and for immigrant communities.

Pairing them with a football silhouette ahead of the World Cup makes complete cultural sense. The collaboration is apparently being called “Together 90,” a play on the T90 name that fits KOI’s ethos perfectly.

Kids of Immigrants has been building a strong Nike relationship for several years. Their Air Max Sunder collaboration in late 2024 was one of the more thoughtful sneaker releases of that year.

This T90 Mule project feels like the natural next step: a football-rooted shoe for a World Cup summer from a brand that understands community and global culture.

The Nike Total 90 is having a significant cultural moment right now. Football boot nostalgia is at an all-time high heading into the World Cup. Overall, Kids Of Immigrants entering that conversation with their own take on the silhouette is a well-timed and well-earned move.

Kids Of Immigrants x Nike T90 Mule

The Kids of Immigrants x Nike T90 Mule takes the classic Total 90 football boot silhouette and converts it into a slip-on mule format. Also the previewed khaki colorway features hairy tan suede at the collar and fold-over tongue, classic olive leather on the side panels, and steel grey hitting the midfoot.

Two-tone swooshes in university gold and fusion red add a vibrant contrast against the earthy base. A speckled white midsole grounds the look below. Further, cork insoles stamped with the Kids Of Immigrants logo add a premium touch inside.

Also, the retail price of the Kids Of Immigrants x Nike T90 Mule will be $120.

Quotable Lyrics from Broccoli

In the middle of the party, bitch, get off me (goddamn)
In the cut, I’m rollin’ up my broccoli (goddamn)
Yeh, I know your baby mama fond of me (goddamn)
All she want to do is smoke that broccoli (goddamn)

Awards & Commercial Performance

“Broccoli” is a song that was never in awards contention. However, it did peak at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also able to become a diamond single that is now 10-times platinum. That is an average of 1 million units every single year. It is an impressive feat, especially for two underdogs like DRAM and Yachty.

The post Broccoli – Song by DRAM featuring Lil Yachty appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

The format is simple enough. Twenty records, each with records people don’t have to think about and songs that already carry emotion, tied to a time, a relationship, a version of themselves. That’s why some matchups stay in online chatter, even when they never materialize.

Drake, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West are among them. It’s less about who would win and more about what each represents. Putting them on the same stage forces a question that the culture has been circling for years. Then there are 50 Cent and T.I., who never even made it to the stage. What started as a potential Verzuz turned into a public back-and-forth that drew in new diss tracks from the Harris family. It exposed that some battles collapse before the first round because the conversation around them becomes bigger than the music itself.

Then there are the matchups rooted in history that the culture hasn’t let go of. Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown never needed Verzuz to feel competitive. Their catalogs were built in the same era, and their rivalry revealed how women in Rap were positioned in the late ’90s. Nicki Minaj often gets pulled into that lineage, but the response to her is more complicated now. The catalog dominance is there. That part is not in question. However, her recent alignment with MAGA-centered rhetoric has created distance for listeners who once supported her without hesitation.

As we all recently celebrated Tank and Tyrese crooning R&B hits on Verzuz, discussions about pairings fans would like to see this year are permeating social media. Here are a few matchups that fans would like to jam to, and even if they never make it to the stage, it’s still nice to dream.

R&B Showdowns

SZA vs. Summer Walker

CTRL introduced SZA and reset expectations for what modern R&B could sound like. The writing was free in a way that felt honest, layered with insecurity, ego, vulnerability, and control all at once. On SOS, the singer had moved into something bigger and more polished, yet still rooted in the same emotional intimacy that helped both records climb to the top of the Billboard charts and stay there.

Summer Walker moves similarly, but in a different direction. Her music is more immediate, less filtered. Over It and Still Over It, which also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, don’t ask for interpretation. They say exactly what they mean, and that directness is what made her connect so quickly. These two together would be one for the ladies, and give a chill Pop & R&B vibe that viewers would enjoy.

Jhené Aiko vs. Kehlani

Some catalogs feel like they’re meant to be played straight through. That’s where Jhené Aiko lives. Souled Out, Trip, and Chilombo, which earned her multiple Grammy nominations, all move like extended thoughts rather than collections of singles. Even her collaborations, especially with Big Sean on “Beware” and later work as Twenty88, carry that same tone.

Kehlani’s catalog doesn’t always ask for that kind of patience. The connection is quicker, more outward. More recently, coming off her latest run and tied to her Grammy-winning momentum, Kehlani showed how easily she can move between R&B and something more rhythmic and immediate. Moreover, her features matter just as much as her solo work. Records with Ty Dolla $ign, YG, and even crossover moments with Justin Bieber give her rounds that can shift energy fast.

Bryson Tiller vs. PARTYNEXTDOOR

There’s a reason TRAPSOUL still gets referenced the way it does. Bryson Tiller shifted expectations for what melodic Rap and R&B could sound like in the mid-2010s. Until today, his records land immediately because they’re tied to a very specific feeling, one that hasn’t really left the culture.

PARTYNEXTDOOR’s catalog sits in that same era, but it doesn’t announce itself the same way. Further, his reach extends far beyond his own spotlight. Writing, features, and long-standing collaborations, especially within that OVO circle, gave him a hand in shaping the sound people often credit to others.

Rap Battles

Future vs. Young Thug

Trap doesn’t look the way it does now without Future. His hit records defined his ongoing run and set the tone for how the genre would sound and feel for years after. His mixtapes built a catalog that people still argue over round for round, while albums like DS2 and HNDRXX showed just how far that sound could stretch without losing its core.

As an opponent, Young Thug’s tracks also don’t always sit inside a single style, with projects like Barter 6 and Jeffery pushing him into places most artists wouldn’t even attempt. Additionally, his features and collaborations, including those with Future and a mixtape with Chris Brown, made him just as present across other people’s records as his own. Set them in the same space in Atlanta, and it would make for an unforgettable moment.

21 Savage vs. Lil Baby

Tracks like “Bank Account” and “a lot” land because of 21 Savage’s delivery, which is steady, almost detached, but hypnotic in its approach. Over time, Savage would hone his skill, especially on projects like I Am > I Was and Savage Mode II, where the tone stays consistent even as the production evolves.

Lil Baby’s career rose with a vengeance with the help of tracks like “Drip Too Hard” and “Freestyle,” arriving with a sense of urgency that has never really let up. My Turn cemented that momentum, putting him in a position where every release felt like it mattered. Both are collaborators and superstars from the same area, creating a concert that would be an ATL celebration for Trap fans.

Megan Thee Stallion vs. Cardi B

Some of the best Verzuz moments come from artists who can playfully battle but, deep down, are good friends in real life. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, who had a major takeover with “Wap,” are repeat collaborators who always show love to one another. Each has had their own acceleration in the industry with hit records, big personalities, social media scandals, and their own fair share of controversy.

“Bodak Yellow” took over and helped push Cardi into a new level of stardom. “I Like It,” “Money,” and “Up” kept that going, and even with a relatively tight catalog, the records are made for reaction the moment they play. Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion came in with a different kind of run with “Big Ole Freak” and “Body.” Projects like Fever and Good News gave her major movement, while “Savage Remix” with Beyoncé pushed her into a different tier entirely.

Producers & Hitmakers

Metro Boomin vs. Mustard

Producer battles have been among the most fun Verzuz experiences for fans, and this one would be a party from the outset. Metro Boomin has had his hand in favorites from “Karate Chop” to “Jumpman,” “Bad and Boujee,” “Like That,” and “Mask Off.” The sound is dark and built around space as much as drums. You hear it, and you know exactly where it’s coming from.

Mustard’s list would need to include hits like “Rack City,” “My N*gga,” “Don’t Tell ’Em,” and “Needed Me,” not to mention his absolutely towering collaborations with Kendrick Lamar. The bounce is unmistakable, rooted in West Coast rhythm that translates the second it plays. His production doesn’t sit back but moves, and it’s been doing that consistently for over a decade. Unfortunately, both mega-producers have reportedly declined Verzuz invitations, but fans still hold out hope.

Jermaine Dupri vs. Bryan-Michael Cox

As longtime friends and collaborators, Dupri and Cox just make sense. On one side, “Confessions Part II” and “Burn” with Usher, credits on Monica’s “So Gone,” and work with Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey all carry Bryan-Michael Cox’s fingerprints. He’s known for being structured yet emotional, carrying arrangements to let the vocalist lead.

Dupri’s catalog, stacked on the back of So So Def, is tied just as closely to artists, but often in a more visible way, with him occasionally on the mic. Usher again with “Confessions” and “U Got It Bad,” Jagged Edge with “Let’s Get Married,” Bow Wow with “Like You,” and Mariah Carey with “We Belong Together.” The nostalgia Cox and Dupri would bring is the reason Verzuz developed the celebratory reputation it has.

Usher vs. Chris Brown

If these two ever met on a Verzuz stage, it would be more of a concert than a battle. Usher has dismissed the idea of taking part in Verzuz, but he shared that if it were with Breezy, he would be more interested in coming together than making it a competition. Moreover, the performance factor here would be unmatched. Both artists are multi-talented, and the list of surprise guests could include their most elite collaborators.

It’s evidently clear that Usher and Brown have enough songs for Verzuz to give us two-part, back-to-back shows. They have both dominated Pop, R&B, and Hip Hop charts for years, standing as international superstars that fans worldwide call the best of the best. Both catalogs stretch across decades, from teenage heartbreak to fully realized adult records, without losing that sense of control.

We know most of these are wishful thinking, but every pairing here works for the same reason. There’s history attached, something that reaches beyond chart success. Some of these matches feel overdue, while others feel unlikely. However, all of them carry enough weight to make people stop what they’re doing and tune in.

Honestly, it’s never really been about who’s better. This is about what these records meant and what they still represent. It’s the conversations they bring back, the memories they pull up, the way people choose sides without needing to think too hard about it. Verzuz, at its best, revisits the past and adds to it, in real time, with the culture debating and celebrating all at once. No matter who arrives on Verzuz in 2026, we know a party will be had, and we can’t wait for the next battle.

Each year, Nike rolls out a new LeBron model, and each year it tells a slightly different story about where he is as a player and what the brand thinks about performance basketball. Some have been generational. Some have been forgettable. Here is every signature shoe LeBron has worn as a Laker, ranked from worst to best.

Read More: Nike Just Announced Its Biggest Collaboration Program Ahead Of World Cup

9. Nike LeBron 19

The LeBron 19 is probably the most overlooked shoe in his entire Lakers catalog, and there is a reason for that. It arrived during a forgettable season where LeBron dealt with injuries and the team underperformed. The shoe itself also struggled to make a visual impact.

It featured 360-degree Max Air cushioning and a thick, high-collared silhouette that felt bulky compared to what came before and after it. The design leaned heavily on geometric paneling and a chunky sole that divided sneaker fans.

It performed well on court, and the cushioning technology was genuinely impressive, but as a statement shoe it never quite landed the way the LeBron line typically does. It is the rare LeBron model that came and went without much conversation.

8. Nike Ambassador 13

The Nike Ambassador 13 was the surprise of the 2021-22 season. LeBron made a quiet switch to his takedown model mid-season, which caught a lot of sneakerheads off guard. The Ambassador line is typically considered a budget alternative to his main signature shoes.

The shoe features a simpler, cleaner aesthetic than his flagship models, with a streamlined silhouette and more understated branding. It was a practical, no-frills choice that said more about LeBron prioritizing comfort and fit than about any design statement.

That kind of honesty about what works for him is admirable, but as a ranked entry in his Lakers catalog, it sits near the bottom simply because it was never designed to be the main event.

7. Nike LeBron 18

The LeBron 18 arrived during a challenging post-championship season where the Lakers were navigating injuries and roster uncertainty. The shoe itself was one of the more technically ambitious in the line. It combined Max Air and Zoom Air cushioning systems into a dual setup that split the midsole into two functional halves, one tuned for speed and one for power.

The Knitposite 2.0 upper locked the foot in well and the shoe had a premium feel on court. A number of strong Lakers colorways dropped during this cycle including several purple and gold options honoring the 2020 title run.

It is a good shoe that gets a bit lost sandwiched between the championship-winning 17 and the critically well-received 19, but it absolutely holds its own.

6. Nike LeBron 21

The LeBron 21 was a return to form for the signature line after the divisive 19 and 20 cycles. Nike went with a lower-profile silhouette and a cleaner overall aesthetic. They used Knitposite 3.0 for the upper alongside dual Zoom Air units underneath for a responsive, cushioned ride.

The result was one of the better-looking LeBron models in years, and colorways like the “Abalone” and “Champion Mindset” generated real heat on social media. LeBron wore the 21 for a season where he continued to defy age and put up All-Star numbers, and the shoe matched his energy well.

It is a confident, mature sneaker that signals Nike and LeBron have found a design language they are comfortable with heading into the final chapter of his career.

5. Nike LeBron 22

The LeBron 22 is the most recent completed signature cycle of his Lakers era, and it ranks as one of the better entries in the line. Nike gave this model a sleek, streamlined look with lightweight materials and a low-to-the-ground feel. LeBron seems to prefer that as his game has evolved toward being more deliberate and less reliant on pure athleticism.

Several standout colorways dropped during the season including the “Tai Lung” Kung Fu Panda inspired pair that he wore on New Year’s Eve 2024 and the “Captain Planet” All-Star Game edition.

The shoe handled the demands of LeBron’s 22nd NBA season without missing a beat. Its visual identity is clean and confident in a way that not every LeBron model manages to pull off.

4. Nike LeBron 16

LeBron’s first season as a Laker was also the debut of the LeBron 16, and that shoe made one of the strongest first impressions of any model in his Lakers catalog. The 16 introduced Battleknit 2.0 technology, a woven upper that provided a secure lockdown fit without adding bulk. It also featured a full-length Air unit and Zoom Air at the forefoot.

It also came in a remarkable range of colorways during that first Lakers season. The iconic “I’m King” purple and gold edition was exclusive to Los Angeles and dropped at the home opener at Staples Center.

That shoe in particular captured the excitement of LeBron arriving in LA and gave the sneaker world something memorable right from the jump. A strong debut all around.

3. Nike LeBron 20

The LeBron 20 is widely regarded as one of the best-performing and best-looking shoes in LeBron’s entire signature catalog, not just his Lakers era. Nike stripped back the design considerably compared to the chunky 19. They went with a lighter, more breathable build and a silhouette that looked genuinely sleek on foot.

The cushioning was excellent and the shoe moved well with LeBron’s game as he continued to age gracefully into a more half-court oriented style. The LeBron 20 also had an exceptional run of colorways, several of which are among the most sought-after Lakers PEs he has ever worn.

It was a reset moment for the line after a couple of underwhelming models, and it delivered on almost every level.

2. Nike LeBron 23

The LeBron 23 is a landmark shoe in every sense of the word. It is LeBron’s 23rd signature sneaker, it matches his current jersey number, and it may well be the last signature model he ever wears as an active NBA player.

For the first time in the entire LeBron line, the 23 features a full-length ZoomX drop-in midsole paired with a carbon fiber shank, making it the most technologically advanced shoe he has ever worn on court.

Nike planned 23 unique colorways for the shoe, each tied to a specific moment from LeBron’s 23-year career. Those moments range from becoming the first player to score 40,000 career points to playing alongside his son Bronny as the NBA’s first ever father-son duo.

1. Nike LeBron 17

The LeBron 17 is the obvious number one, and it is not particularly close. This is the shoe LeBron wore when he led the Los Angeles Lakers to the 2020 NBA Championship in the Orlando bubble, winning his fourth title and fourth Finals MVP in the process.

The shoe itself was exceptional, featuring KnitPosite technology, a full Max Air unit, and a design language that felt futuristic and purposeful at the same time. Nike dropped several outstanding colorways during the championship season. The “Media Day” purple and gold PE and the “Lakers” home and away editions were among the best.

Winning a title in any shoe elevates it to another level, but the LeBron 17 was already one of the best models in his catalog before the Finals win. Championship pedigree on top of great design makes this one the best.

He said that Claressa had already told him about the Bud situation before Fif made it public, although he didn’t specify exactly what she told him about it. In any case, Pap shut down cheating allegations, pointing out how Bud denied being intimate with her as well. He also brought up the G-Unit mogul’s beef with Big Meech, as he had claimed that Meech was a snitch but seemingly never put up the paperwork he promised to expose. The freestyle veteran thinks this is another example of 50 not putting his money where his mouth is.

Also, he said he doesn’t really know Maserati Bud, so he wont’ speak on him directly. But most importantly, Papoose took aim at 50 Cent and called this scandal a fake distraction from the “Agent Provocateur” diss that Pap sent his way. He also brought up Claressa Shields’ potential legal response to the Queens MC, but he didn’t get into specifics.

Then, the two laughed about DJ Vlad’s joke that Pap may be physically afraid to break up with one of the best boxers of all time.

Why Are 50 Cent & Papoose Beefing?

For those unaware, 50 Cent’s beef with Papoose and Claressa Shields blew up early this year thanks to some social media trolling, A.I.-generated videos, diss tracks, and more. 50 and Pap particularly have had tension for years now, possibly because of some teasing 50 did to Remy Ma while Pap was still with her.

It seems like things might be quiet now between them, but if you know Fif, you know the potential for a re-ignition is always there. In fact, he recently included Papoose on a list of people he’s streaming better than on YouTube, which shows he’s still on his list. So maybe this online saga is not over yet.

Today (Sunday, April 5), they took to their IG Story to counter first week sales reports for Kanye West’s Bully, which had the album debuting at No. 2 on Billboard with 152K album-equivalent units in its first week. But the album emerged on streaming services on a Saturday, not a Friday.

As such, Gamma claimed the project actually moved about 201K units in its first full week of sales, and should have debuted at No. 1 on Billboard. The promotion also flaunted the LP as the number one streaming album in the United States and the number one album on Apple Music and Spotify globally. It celebrated the “FATHER” music video with Travis Scott as the number one video on YouTube, the album’s 264 million global Spotify streams at press time, and Ye having the highest-grossing concert in SoFi Stadium history. “The real deal. A big week for independent artists,” Gamma captioned their Story post.

When Will Kanye West Drop Bully Deluxe?

In addition, they shared the “full seven-day sales and consumption through Saturday 4/4 at 3am” to prove their numbers allegations regarding full first week numbers. It accounts for sales at the SoFi show this past Friday (April 3), the late upload on Apple Music, and updated product sales and streaming performances beyond Luminate’s reported activity through that Friday for the Billboard charts.

This new announcement did not come with a release date reveal, so we’ll have to wait for Kanye West’s Bully deluxe for the foreseeable future with no signs on the horizon. Considering how many times Ye delayed the project and how Kanye releases tend to go, this doesn’t bode particularly well.

Also, many listeners believe Bully isn’t even fully finished to begin with, so there’s understandable skepticism around this drop. We will just have to wait and see what happens amid many other controversies and debates.

As caught by The Neighborhood Talk on IG, the painter said he didn’t see what was wrong with the painting in a new post, but still shouted Baby out. The Charlotte MC left him an Instagram comment that made his position clear.

“You still got my daughters on yo page as a grown man after I made it clear I ain’t comfortable with that,” the “POP DAT THANG” spitter wrote. “Steady playing for this online attention. So when God put me back in front of you ima show you how serious I am about my daughters. Best advice I can give you, get my children off yo page & keep doing what you gifted at doing. Using My kids ain’t the route to go if you wanna go viral, that’s the route to go if you wanna get hurt. This a father talking not a rapper.”

How Many Kids Does DaBaby Have?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

“First and foremost, I’m not the type of father that’s into grown-a** men discussing my daughters, painting pictures of my daughters, taking pictures of my kids,” he said in a social media video. “I don’t play like that. If you play like that, to each his own… Number two, I’m not accepting no painting of my daughters outside of a nightclub. Number three, you feel a way about the principles I stand on with my kids and how far I go to protect them, that ain’t none of my concern.”

DaBaby reportedly has five children as of March of this year. We will see if this painter fully backs off or if there will be more social media updates.

Elsewhere, Baby is trying to bounce back after controversy, although he doesn’t want to compromise either. Still, his divisive musical moves don’t have anything to do with this situation. Rather, this is just another example of the fan/celebrity line being too blurry for a simple rejection to go by unnoticed.

For those unaware, Pooh, his father, Big30, and six other individuals were arrested by federal authorities this week. Prosecutors accused them of kidnapping and robbing Gucci and two others over a dispute concerning Pooh’s 1017 Records contract.

As caught by Kollege Kidd on Twitter, both Atlanta colleagues took pretty different stances on this situation. “If Gucci Mane would’ve took matters into his own hands and had Pooh Shiesty and them taken away from this world, everybody would be calling Gucci Mane so stupid right now,” Woody posited. “Whatever happened is Pooh Shiesty and them’s fault. Start with the problem. Anything else is irrelevant.”

He basically implied that Gucci hypothetically doesn’t have the blame concerning this alleged incident, and that true accountability falls on the Memphis rapper. Lil Woody already spoke on Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane, expressing disappointment and sadness for Pooh considering his recent return from prison and musical success. So this recent reflection seems to add responsibility and potential to that equation.

As for Ralo, his perspective is very different. “Well, in my opinion, if somebody would’ve did that to me, I would’ve sent them to God,” he remarked. “I would’ve waited until I got the right moment, and sent them to God. That’s just my way of doing things… I’m not going to let nobody take nothing from me.”

Pooh Shiesty & Gucci Mane Debate

Lil Woody argued that Gucci didn’t lose anything in this situation, suggesting that Shiesty is really the one risking a lot here. But we’ll have to see how the case actually develops before jumping to conclusions.

Meanwhile, other folks like Charleston White are reacting to the Gucci Mane and Pooh Shiesty allegations. He’s far from the only one. Asian Doll recently blasted 1017, 50 Cent chimed in, NLE Choppa is speaking out… There’s a lot of discussion from the hip-hop world and beyond. But it’s all debates, speculation, and unverified conclusions until more concrete and official information comes to light.
