Quotable Lyrics from Smaxk Or Die (Remix)

Bags on bags on bags, I want to break your back,
I want to f**k you, ooh, you ain’t gotta call your folks,
Took my h*e to Lenox, she swipe without the code,
And it’s dangerous business, it’s Homixide, you know

According to an exclusive AllHipHop report from Grouchy Greg Watkins, they might have more charges against them in the federal L.A. case. This reportedly comes from a May 21 court filing from the team of Deandre Wilson, one of Smurk’s codefendants.

Furthermore, the filing requested a federal judge to grant bond and claimed prosecutors told defense lawyers on May 13 that they were deliberating about adding more charges in this case by June 3. More specifically, they would reportedly be over two older alleged incidents connected to Durk and OTF.

The first is reportedly a January 2022 shooting in Chicago that led to the death of Stephon Mack. Reportedly, unsealed documents claimed Durk was responsible, but he received no charges.

The second is reportedly an Atlanta shooting in January of 2019. The Voice reportedly faced felony charges including attempted murder and aggravated assault, but the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office dropped them in 2022. Although probable cause reportedly existed for his arrest, prosecutors chose to walk away, and his attorney claimed prosecutors mistakenly believed his association with folks involved in the shooting was enough to connect him.

When Is Lil Durk’s Trial?

Meanwhile, codefendant Deandre Wilson’s lawyers claim these potential new charges could result in a logistical nightmare in Lil Durk’s trial, which is currently set for late August of this year. The new charges would require more discovery, arraignments, motions, hearings… The list goes on. Wilson’s lawyers argue these potential new charges have nothing to do with their client, and thus, he should be out on bond while his actual case develops.

We will see if there are any updates sooner or later that indicate what the next steps in this case are. Elsewhere, Lil Durk’s peers are supporting him, whereas his enemies are celebrating his downfall. Durk’s just trying to keep his head high amid these matters.

The two colorways shown are pretty different from each other. The first goes with a pink tumbled leather upper, red support wings and hardware, black accents on the midsole and outsole, and an icy blue translucent sole.

The second flips to an all-black tumbled leather construction with blue accents hitting the wings, the lace hardware, and the midsole detailing. Silver appears on the heel tab of the black version. Both colorways use the same icy blue outsole underneath.

Awake NY is Angelo Baque’s New York-based streetwear label. The brand already has a relationship with Jordan Brand, having released the “Midnight Navy” Air Jordan 6 that surfaced in early 2026. A Jordan 4 collab would be the next natural step in that partnership.

Neither colorway has a confirmed name, retail price, or specific release date beyond the general 2027 window. Given how far out that is, everything about these mockups should be treated as a starting point rather than a confirmed final product.

That said, both directions look solid. The pink and red combination especially feels like something that could generate real interest closer to the actual drop.

AWAKE NY x Air Jordan 4

Awake NY founder Angelo Baque spent nearly a decade as brand director at Supreme before launching his own label in 2012. That background in brand building and streetwear culture has informed how Awake approaches collaborations.

The brand tends to produce clean, wearable product rather than leaning heavily on graphics or loud details. Both AJ4 colorways shown in the mockups follow that approach.

The pink version uses a single leather material across the upper with red hardware as the main accent. The black version does the same with blue taking that accent role. Both feel like colorways Baque would actually put his name on.

This marks the first and only North American show of this world tour so far after Ye’s SoFi Stadium performances in Los Angeles. Per the tour’s website, it will take place at the Raymond James Stadium on June 26 of this year. Fans can sign up to register for a presale and their chance to get free tickets.

There aren’t many other details available about this show, but it will be very interesting to see how folks discuss it. His antisemitism and other bigotries resulted in a lot of backlash with every new performance announcement, even after he tried to apologize.

Kanye might get an even more extreme response in the U.S., or the complete opposite. In any case, maybe more shows in North America will follow.

Given how much fans loved the SoFi shows, they expect the same level of greatness, scale, and grandeur for this upcoming Tampa show. What they really want, though, is even more shows across the United States, Canada, and the whole world for folks to enjoy. But with a lot of government pushback, halfway apologies, and public backlash in mind, it seems like these shows will still be a struggle for Ye.

Elsewhere, though, Kanye West is still achieving milestones, even this late into his career. He recently got his first song to surpass two billion streams on Spotify. “Heartless” was a classic long before this achievement, but it goes to show its staying power and resonance is even more special than listeners originally thought.

There’s also new Kanye West material to enjoy, as he recently appeared on Wave Gods 2: Cosmos Brothers. The French Montana and Max B collab album included a cut from the VULTURES sessions, “Unlocked.” We might hear that track, Ye’s new album BULLY, and all the classics once the Tampa show goes down.

This is one of the more anticipated Travis Scott x Jordan releases in recent memory. Partly because the colorway is a noticeable departure from what he usually puts out.

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Shy Pink” is releasing on May 29th, 2026.

The shoe uses a cream and white leather base with a pink Swoosh on the side. The Swoosh is rendered in a soft, muted pink rather than anything bright or saturated. The outsole picks up that same pink tone, which ties the color story together from top to bottom.

The tongue carries a pink Nike logo with a small heart graphic underneath, which is a detail that fits the “Shy Pink” name pretty well. The heel features a Jumpman logo in pink on one shoe and a floral or palm graphic on the other.

Travis Scott’s signature reverse Swoosh is present on the side panel. Which is one of the design codes he carries across most of his Jordan Brand collaborations.

Cactus Jack text in red appears along the side of the shoe near the toe box, adding another personal detail to the overall design. The collar lining is pink, and the tongue lining matches.

Travis Scott collabs tend to move quickly. If you want a pair, you should already have a plan in place for the drop day.

Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Shy Pink”

Travis Scott has been one of Jordan Brand’s most consistent collaborators for several years. His signature reverse Swoosh started on the Air Jordan 1 and has carried through to nearly every sneaker he has put out since.

The “Shy Pink” colorway is notable because it moves away from the earth tones and browns that Scott typically gravitates toward. Pink is not a color most people associate with his aesthetic, which makes this release feel like a deliberate creative shift.

The cream leather upper keeps the base neutral, letting the pink details stand out without the shoe feeling overly feminine. It works across gender lines in terms of wearability.

After all, 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather have infamous beef with each other, so many folks expected the G-Unit mogul to troll him swiftly. But it seems like that might not be the case, at least per the Instagram posts that appeared recently. 50 seemed to take a bit more of an empathetic approach with his responses to Mayweather’s woes… Unless it’s pure sarcasm.

“Congratulations champ Beautiful baby girl, f**k the other bulls**t,” he captioned his post about the paternity drama. “Hey champ call my phone, we will get that back right quick ! It’s a good thing you bought all them buildings in NY,” Fif captioned the IG post about the scamming claims.

50 Cent’s Floyd Mayweather Beef

For those unaware, 50 Cent’s beef with Floyd Mayweather was once just a worst case scenario. They used to be very good friends and business partners, even trying to launch a boxing promotion company called TMT. But when Floyd allegedly failed to financially hodl up his end of the bargain while he was in prison, 50 took all that money to manage his own firm.

Since then, 50 Cent’s been trolling Floyd Mayweather endlessly, and they have a notorious pop culture dynamic these days. With this new drama facing the boxer, it’s unsurprising that the rapper has to chime in.

But again, maybe he has more sympathy this time around. Seems completely out of his playbook, but stranger things have happened.

We’ll see if Mayweather responds to any of this or if he will just ignore and move on. Seeing them finally bury the hatchet would certainly be a wild plot twist in their history.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 4 “Birds of Paradise” will be releasing on July 10th, 2026. Also the retail price of the sneakers, when they release, will be $220.

The colorway uses a cream and grey base, with a translucent orange and peach outsole that sets the shoe apart. The outsole is probably the most eye-catching element on the shoe. It fades from a pinkish peach at the toe through a deeper amber orange toward the heel, and the translucency lets the color shift depending on the light.

The upper combines tumbled leather on the main panels with suede on the lower sections. Gold hardware hits the eyelets and the Jumpman logo on the tongue. The support wings and lace lock carry a muted olive tone that complements the cream base.

The shoe comes packaged in a custom box featuring illustrated Birds of Paradise flower artwork in orange, gold, and blue tones. It’s a nice presentation that fits the colorway theme well.

Given how the women’s Jordan 4 market has been moving lately, this one will likely generate strong interest when it drops.

Air Jordan 4 “Birds of Paradise”

A post shared by Zhangli (@zhangli1137)

The Bird of Paradise is a tropical flower native to South Africa, known for its striking orange and blue petals that resemble a bird in flight. Jordan Brand drew from that imagery for both the colorway and the packaging on this release.

Also the translucent orange outsole is the clearest visual reference to the flower. The cream and grey upper keeps things relatively neutral, letting the sole carry the color story.

Women’s exclusive Air Jordan 4 releases have performed well on the resale market in recent years. With colorways like the “Shimmer” and “Craft” both generating significant demand well after their initial release dates.

According to Livebitez on Instagram, she alleged took to her IG Story to post a picture of her, the Columbus-born femcee, and her sons with Savage, Kamari and Ashaad. Not only that, but this social media post also led many to believe that Keyanna was at Latto’s baby shower with 21 Savage.

Of course, none of this is any explicit confirmation, but fans are still trying to connect the dots and scrutinize every little detail. Regardless of who was where, it does seem like Keyanna Joseph is supporting Big Mama on her journey and happy for 21. Their relationship is something they keep very private, but it seems like they are still very committed to a healthy, amicable, and loving coparenting dynamic.

Who Is 21 Savage’s Wife?

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

For those unaware, 21 Savage’s alleged wife Keyanna Joseph is a business entrepreneur specifically in the realm of beauty and cosmetics, leading the Beauty By Nukee brand. They reportedly started out as high school sweethearts, welcoming their two sons pretty early in the 2010s decade.

Joseph and Savage reportedly tied the knot back in 2020 following the latter’s visa issues and ICE arrest over his immigration status. But some folks have speculated this marriage was only for legal and business reasons tied to this status debacle. Divorce rumors also spread, but they never got any explicit confirmation or denial.

In any case, while their relationship status is unclear, Keyanna Joseph seems supportive of Latto and 21 Savage. So maybe fans are going a bit too far by making a fuss out of the marriage and its vagueness. But the important thing is for all of them to focus on the family and maintain healthy communication and companionship.

“DIS ALL I WANT TO HEAR TURN DAT OTHER S**T OFF HAPPY MEMORIAL WEEKEND P***Y,” he wrote on his IG Story, sharing the video to the new track.

This led a lot of fans to debate about the new record, whether or not he’s dissing anyone specifically, and a whole lot more. Some fans appreciate the Atlanta artist’s new delivery and his co-sign of a rising talent, whereas others didn’t like the direction of the “Smaxk Or Die” remix.

But regarding this new Instagram message, many fans immediately connected this to Drizzy. For those unaware, here’s what fans took note of on the ICEMAN track “Whisper My Name.”

“Baby boy, please / I heard what you said to lil’ bro about mе / Yeah, and when you run into the Iceman, what you gon’ do except freeze? / You not ’bout to squeeze, you not in the streets / I’m cutting n***as off at the knees, there ain’t no standing on business with me,” he rapped on the cut. Carti’s alias, and the name of his purported upcoming album, is BABY BOI.

Drake & Playboi Carti Beef

While Playboi Carti and Drake have worked together before, it’s more likely than not that Drake is no longer friends with Playboi Carti. That’s because Carti has closely aligned himself with two of the OVO mogul’s rivals over the years: The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar.

K.Dot appeared thrice on MUSIC, whereas Abel Tesfaye recently took him on the “After Hours Til Dawn” tour. So it doesn’t seem like The Boy is too keen on maintaining even the slightest bit of connection to those two.

We’ll see if this actually develops into anything beyond social media shade.

The shoe uses a cream and black base with gold metallic hardware throughout. The support wings on the side are rendered in full gold metal rather than the standard plastic, which immediately sets this one apart from most AJ4 releases.

The eyelets also carry the same gold finish. Roman numerals appear on the heel counter of each shoe, with II on one and III on the other. Crystal-style studs sit above the numerals, adding another layer of detail that leans into the jewelry and bling aesthetic of that era.

The “Musik” joins a growing Air Jordan 4 release calendar that already includes the Georgetown colorway and the Berlin colorway, both also expected in 2027. Jordan Brand has been leaning heavily on the AJ4 silhouette across multiple themed releases. This one fits that pattern while standing out visually from the others.

The gold hardware and Roman numeral heel details make this one of the more distinctive AJ4 mockups to surface in a while.

Air Jordan 4 “Musik”

The 90s and early 2000s hip-hop era was defined by bold jewelry, gold chains, and a general embrace of style. Artists like Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West made iced-out accessories a central part of their image during that period.

The Air Jordan 4 “Musik” pulls from that world through its gold metallic wings, crystal studs, and Roman numeral heel detailing. The cream leather upper keeps the base clean, letting the hardware do the talking.

The black midsole and outsole ground the shoe without pulling attention away from the gold elements above. Overall it is a loud shoe by AJ4 standards.
