For those unaware, the California MC recently leaked an explicit video of Alexis with his former manager Bravo. His mother reacted to this on social media, alleging the mother of her son’s children called her in tears after the leak.

“Jaidyn was trying to give me a whole motherf***ing heart attack… [She was] sounding like a dog,” she claimed, as caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram. “Why the f**k is she making all that goddamn noise? Is he f***ing that b***h again? Girl, I should’ve recorded the f***ing phone call…”

Livebitez caught another video of Karlissa Saffold reacting to this drama, which emphasized the feelings and lives of Alexis and Blue’s children. “Don’t say, ‘Poor Jaidyn, poor [Blueface], poor Chrisean [Rock].’ Say ‘Poor these kids’!” she expressed. “You dumb b***hes: ‘Poor these grownups just having a great f***ing time.’ […] They probably over there practicing a new technique right now. So why the f**k are we talking about ‘poor grownups’? I say, poor kids… If you was saying ‘poor kids,’ we wouldn’t have what’s going on with the kids right now… I ain’t no bad mother. I’m not out here doing revenge porn [or] revenge sex.”

Jaidyn Alexis responded to Blueface’s leak by saying she has no regrets over the sexual encounter, although she lamented how the video emerged without her consent. “Don’t have to worry about me, I’m doing fine. F**k that n***a. F**k both of them, actually. And that b***h… It was revenge,” she said on a livestream. “Disappointing, for sure. I mean, it definitely came from his page, so… Unless there’s a video of someone else posting it, you can shove that excuse up your f***ing a**.”

Elsewhere, Karlissa Saffold and Jaidyn Alexis have other ties. Earlier this year, the former shared a trailer for a reality dating series about the latter, which turned a lot of heads.

Tekashi 6ix9ine took to Instagram Story to post a close-up, slow-motion video of the moment the streamer’s hand struck the Bronx rapper’s face, as caught by No Jumper on Instagram. “Home was baffled,” he captioned his post along with a crying-laughing emoji.

From what fans can gather from the livestream, it seems like most of this flare-up was just for clout or, at the very least, in good enough faith for all of them to continue streaming. Fans are accusing them of faking this or getting a rise out of people, but Tekashi is happy to lean into the kayfabe.

After all, 6ix9ine has intense beef with Lil Tjay, although it mostly only shows up in the form of social media back-and-forths, if Tjay even responds in the first place. But the former knows Internet clicks are all equal, so any chance for content is a plus.

Jack Doherty Slaps Lil Tjay

We will see if anyone involved has anything else to say about all this in the aftermath. Seems like just a run-of-the-mill streaming moment, but maybe the backlash actually gets to them.

Elsewhere, though, at least Lil Tjay’s other beefs are colder. He recently admitted he might be able to bury the hatchet with Offset one day following a lot of conflict. There was even a shooting that injured ‘Set that some folks claim allegedly connected to Tjay, which makes that statement about possible peace all the more interesting.

Meanwhile, 6ix9ine will never stop laughing at his opposition. This video against Tjay follows another social media troll: recreating the alleged video of Pooh Shiesty robbing Gucci Mane to get out of his 1017 Records deal. That’s Tekashi’s bread and butter, and his own streams with Doherty also show that.

Plummer responded to these allegations in a lengthy Instagram post. “I categorically deny the allegations against me,” he reportedly wrote. “I intend to vigorously defend my reputation and pursue any legal remedies that my attorneys determine are appropriate, including claims for defamation if supported by the facts and the law.”

Brown accused the CEO of coercing her into having sexual relations with him in exchange for him making her a star. She claimed he told her she’d become a Baddie in exchange for sex in March of 2023, when she was 19.

Jadynn also claimed Lemuel coerced her various other times throughout 2023 and 2024 before she auditioned and got the role in January of 2025. She alleged he coerced her into having sex and signing an NDA about their romance days after shooting began. Plummer allegedly did so again two months later when Brown was on her period and drunk, allegedly demanding proof and pressuring her. She also accused him of having sexual relations with various other cast members as an executive producer.

The lawsuit also claims Brown refused to audition for the show’s second season due to this alleged harassment and coercion. The suit seeks jury-determined damages for emotional distress, lost career opportunities, and lost earnings.

Lemuel Plummer’s Response

As for Lemuel Plummer’s response, he said Jadynn Brown was a friend who repeatedly asked to be on the show, and that he wanted to keep friendship and business relationships separate. He denied claims of promising her stardom and claimed she only joined the cast due to an unexpected vacancy they had to fill.

Plummer accused Brown of legally threatening him after they didn’t select her for another season, arguing their friendship meant more to him than business. He wanted to set legal protections in place if their professional relationship was to continue.

Lemuel Plummer has faced other allegations before, including a recent flare-up with trafficking allegations from Joseline Hernandez. There is always a lot of drama in his orbit, but this is a more serious matter than just gossip and relationship drama.

Via Twitter, the Twitch giant announced he will be hosting his comeback stream on both Twitch and YouTube. It will begin tomorrow (Monday, July 6) at 8PM EST.

More specifically, Kai said he will be revealing the students and professors that will be participating in this year’s Streamer University. Last year had some big names in the streaming world, and there were few who didn’t show up at the event or come up in one way or another.

As such, fans are very excited to see what’s in store and are looking forward to Cenat’s first stream in a long time. While this all connects to the larger Streamer University plan, folks hope this indicates he will stream more regularly in the near future.

Why Did Kai Cenat Stop Streaming?

For those unaware, the New York native had stopped streaming to focus on his fashion endeavors with Vivet and to just take a break from how exhausting and draining it can be to call yourself one of the biggest streamers in the world. Now, it seems like he’s ready to take the Internet world by storm again.

Kai Cenat recently reviewed Streamer University applications, which emerged in a few different ways. Auditions seemed to be the main course of action, and it led to some hilarious rejections at the expense of Adrien Broner, Deen The Great, and others.

But there’s also some alleged drama concerning Kai Cenat’s Streamer University, although it’s mostly about completely unrelated beef. Soulja Boy recently accused DDG of getting him banned from auditions and went off on the streaming world in response.

That doesn’t have anything to do with Kai. But it’s the type of drama he seems ready to tackle with this next Streamer University “semester,” which we will learn more about tomorrow.

According to Lauren Conlin on Twitter, Fif shared an article from her that spoke on his Trump Jr. performance amid the clemency buzz. He later deleted the post, but he also shared a news story about Sean Combs not getting what he wanted, at least at press time. Trump himself hasn’t explicitly said he won’t pardon him in recent weeks, so we’ll see if he addresses this again sometime soon.

“LOL YOU SEE HOW THE WORLD WORKS, you shouldn’t say such nasty things about people,” the G-Unit mogul reportedly captioned his post. It seems like the post insinuated that Fif is more in favor with the Trumps than Puff, which is why some people believe the only reason why he performed at Trump Jr.’s club is to advise the family to not grant clemency to the embattled music executive. But that’s just a speculative theory.

Will Donald Trump Pardon Diddy?

For those unaware, Donald Trump has denied Diddy’s clemency request before. He told The New York Times he received a letter from the Bad Boy mogul, but would not grant his wishes.

“What part of no don’t you understand,” 50 Cent said about Donald Trump and Diddy back when this news broke. “I told him what ya said he was surprised, you said some very nasty things about him.”

We will see if any of this changes, as Fif seemed to mostly ignore the backlash to his Trump Jr. performance despite his previous criticisms of the administration. But then again, he has some strong connections, too.

On the other hand, maybe Trump will one day choose to pardon Combs or commute his sentence. But it doesn’t look like it will happen anytime soon.

Livebitez caught a clip of the moment on Instagram, which was during Ben’s livestream. In the segment, DaDonnn screamed when the 6ix God connected on a FaceTime call, and the cameraperson got close to the screen. However, when The Boy moved his camera and showed himself putting his arm around the unknown woman next to him, Ben moved the camera close to his face, probably to hide the screen and let the cameraperson know to steer clear. They got the message.

“Wait, are you live?” the Toronto superstar asked. “Yes, I am. Please relax,” the streamer responded, to which the rapper said “Bye.” It seems like he wanted to have a more private conversation.

Is Drake In A Relationship?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

At the moment, Drake isn’t in a public relationship, nor has he hinted at any romance in recent years. There are always gossip stories flying around about him, whether it’s him allegedly flying women out (or trying to) or as well as unverified claims from alleged flings.

Of course, fans immediately tried to identify the woman in the FaceTime call, and Internet sleuths continue to scrutinize social media activity while keeping things low-key. That is probably for the best. If they are even a thing, they wouldn’t want to announce a hypothetical relationship outside of their own terms.

One thing is for sure, though: Drake’s previous relationships have led to beef. That is one of the main reasons he and A$AP Rocky have been at over the past few years, as their connections to Rihanna and Sophie Brussaux have led to a lot of back-and-forth shade.

We doubt the OVO mogul will confirm or deny anything related to romance anytime soon. But maybe he will change his perspective after his ICEMAN era.

His comment lines up with a different story making the rounds this week. Nike’s new Mind shoes have been selling out fast around the world. These aren’t hyped basketball sneakers or limited collaborations chasing resale attention. Instead, they’re mules and slides built around a wellness-focused idea.

Nike says the shoes use 22 foam nodes placed under each foot. The company claims this setup can trigger something it calls relaxed alertness. CNN just ran a segment testing out these claims for viewers.

Nike’s Sport Research Lab says the shoes affect specific brain networks. Their research reportedly shows increased activity tied to sensation and touch. That activity is said to reduce mental drift and steady focus.

None of this leans on rare colorways or scarcity marketing tactics. Instead, it’s selling through curiosity about the science behind it. That gap fits right into what Staple was describing earlier. Everyday buyers aren’t chasing hype, but they’re clearly still buying shoes.

Nike Mind shows people outside sneaker culture still care about footwear. They just care for reasons that have nothing to do with hype.

Jeff Staple’s Sneakerhead Opinion

Nike spent roughly 10 years developing the science behind Mind shoes. Neuroscientists reportedly measured brain activity in athletes before and after use. Their research pointed toward increased activity in the sensorimotor network.

The network handles movement, touch, and general bodily sensation processing. Nike says this activity can quiet the brain’s default mode network. That’s the part tied to mind wandering and repetitive thinking.

The result, according to Nike, is a calmer but still alert mental state. Soccer star Erling Haaland was reportedly among the athletes who tested them. Nike hasn’t published peer reviewed research confirming these claims yet.

Still, demand has been strong enough to sell out multiple releases. That success suggests mainstream buyers respond to function just as much as style.

It’s the shoe that helped define tennis style during the early 1990s. This pair uses a light grey base with mesh underlays throughout. Neon green and pink accents show up across the midsole and tongue. Black speckling adds texture, echoing the splatter graphics from Agassi’s original sneaker.

A tennis ball detail replaces the usual basketball graphic near the ankle. So far, reaction to the early images has been pretty mixed at best. Plenty of people online aren’t loving how the colors come together. Some feel the neon tones clash with the shoe’s neutral base.

Jordan Brand is still moving forward with the September timeline regardless. The release lines up with the closing stretch of the US Open. This marks one of the few new Air Jordan 7 colorways in years. The model has largely sat on the sidelines since 2023. Whether opinions shift once official images drop remains to be seen. For now, the “Tennis Day” pair is a talking point either way.

Air Jordan 7 “Tennis Day”

The Agassi connection runs deeper than just color choices on this pair. Tinker Hatfield designed both the Air Jordan 7 and Agassi’s Tech Challenge II.

The shared designer makes the crossover feel less random than it first looks. Agassi wore his shoe while breaking tennis’s strict all-white dress code. He leaned into loud colors and became known for that rebellious streak.

Michael Jordan shared a similar attitude toward shaking up his own sport. That parallel seems to be the real reasoning behind this release. Even so, plenty of longtime Jordan fans wanted a straightforward retro instead.

Nostalgia for the silhouette doesn’t always translate into love for new colorways. Grade school pairs are already out, giving an early preview of the look. Adult versions should confirm whether the final build changes anything major.
