Most recently, DJ Whoo Kid chimed in on the hype around Drake’s upcoming release during an interview with Diverse Mentality, as well as the duration of Kendrick’s reign at the top. While discussing the story behind the “Whoo Kid” drop on Drake’s “Push Ups,” he argued that Kendrick’s success was a “moment.” “Everything is a moment. Kendrick had his moment. Six months, he’s the man. Then he [did] Super Bowl, he’s the man,” Whoo Kid explained.

In contrast, the legendary DJ said that Drake’s often used patience as a tool and it shows in his longevity. “As you can see, where has hip-hop been? There’s no Billboard chart, there’s no nothing,” he continued, acknowledging that Max B, French Montana and Sexyy Red might be an exception to that. “I’m not an expert in this. I know when [Drake’s] here, we’re on the charts,” he added.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Moment” Vs. Drake’s Longevity, According To Whoo Kid

Whoo Kid’s assessment lines up with recent headlines regarding hip-hop’s drop from the Hot 100 recently. A few weeks ago, fans realized that the last hip-hop song in the Billboard Hot 100 was Drake’s “What Did I Miss.” Since then, it’s been sorely lacking. Meanwhile, people like Fat Joe, Talib Kweli and The Game have echoed similar sentiments regarding Drake’s dominance. Check out the clip above and sound off in the comment section below.

Foolio’s murder took place on  June 23, 2024. If you remember, the artist was allegedly ambushed at a hotel where he was celebrating his birthday. Since that time, a woman named Alicia Andrews was found guilty of manslaughter. Andrews has not yet been sentenced as she currently awaits the status of a recent appeal.

With the trial marching forward, prosecutors are making their case and presenting new pieces of alleged evidence to the courtroom. For instance, this week, the prosecution presented a video of alleged killer Sean Gathright, pacing around the police interrogation room.

As you can see in the footage below, there is a blanket on the table, suggesting that Gathright had been in there for a while. Furthermore, he can be seen climbing on the table to make an escape through the ceiling.

During the trial, defendant Davion Murphy alleged that his grandmother had a heart attack upon hearing Foolio’s diss tracks towards him. Furthermore, there was a moment just a few weeks ago in which one of the defendants could be seen laughing in court.

All four men are in the midst of being tried at the same time, and face decades in prison if convicted. At this time, it is unknown how long the trial will go on for. However, the prosecution appears keen on taking its time building its case.

This is a story we will continue to follow over the coming days and weeks.

At the core of the lawsuit are claims that the promises of the features marketed as part of the memecoin weren’t entirely truthful. The false advertising, plaintiff Christopher Smith claims, essentially duped investors into buying the coin, which reportedly surged to a $200M market cap. However, the report claims that the coin has reportedly collapsed to roughly a $1M market cap– a 99.5% collapse of value.

“MOTHER’s market appeal was not based on technology, a whitepaper, or decentralized governance. Rather, it was based on Azalea’s personal celebrity, image, and brand. Every promotional act reinforced the message that MOTHER was authenticated by and inseparable from Azalea herself,” reads the complaint.

The lawsuit adds that the coin’s price also included “the market’s assessment of the represented utility, integrations, and institutional support.” It argues that the price collapsed because the features that added value to the coin never materialized or were delivered. “For purchasers, the primary harm was overpayment: they paid more for MOTHER than they otherwise would have paid absent Azalea’s utility, integration, and market-support representations,” the lawsuit reads.

This was certainly the case over the weekend as Drake was spotted filming what appeared to be a music video in Toronto. He could be seen on the back of a moving flatbed truck, adorned in a cozy, ICEMAN-inspired outfit. This has subsequently led to speculation that a new single could be coming soon. After all, it would make sense for Drake to drop something before the release of his album.

Earlier this week, there were rumblings on social media that Drake was gearing up to record a music video at the CN Tower. The CN Tower is one of the biggest landmarks in Toronto, so it would only make sense for the artist to film there.

Well, new footage is being circulated by Kurrco, and it is giving credence to the idea that Drake has been hanging around the infamous Toronto building.

Drake Prepares ICEMAN

In the footage above, you can clearly see a silhouette moving around the tower’s upper floors. This kind of scene is quite rare. Consequently, the theory is that the silhouette is Drake, and that this is all part of his latest video shoot.

Drake has been preparing for the release of ICEMAN for quite some time. His ice sculpture from a few weeks ago led to his release date announcement. Furthermore, he has updated the Drake-Related website to contain references to ICEMAN.

This is all very exciting for fans of the Canadian megastar, who has not dropped a solo album since 2023’s For All The Dogs. This will also be Drake’s first solo project since the beef with Kendrick Lamar. Needless to say, this could very well be the most important album of the artist’s career.

Brunson scored 30 points en route to a comfortable Knicks win, but the icy blue Kobe 3 Low on his feet was equally hard to ignore. The Knicks are rolling right now, and Brunson keeps showing up with another exclusive pair to match the moment.

On his podcast with teammate Josh Hart, Brunson previously hinted that he had “one more” PE to debut during the playoffs. Whether this icy pair was the one he was referring to is unclear which means there could still be more coming.

Brunson has essentially become Nike’s most important active Kobe athlete. He turned down a signature shoe specifically to stay in Kobe’s line, and Nike has rewarded that loyalty with a steady stream of exclusive colorways. His “Statue of Liberty” Kobe 6 eventually hit retail and sold out quickly, so there’s already hope this icy Kobe 3 Low follows the same path.

For now, it’s a playoff PE built for MSG and Brunson and the Knicks are showing no signs of stopping.

Jalen Brunson’s Kobe 3s

The Jalen Brunson Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Ice Blue” PE features an icy gradient across the upper, starting with an ocean blue at the toe that gradually fades to translucent teal and then white toward the heel.

Matching aqua laces and a translucent outsole keep the frozen theme consistent from top to bottom, while deep blue Kobe branding appears on the tongue and heel for contrast. Theatmolded pattern that defines the Kobe 3 Low’s upper runs throughout, giving the shoe its signature texture.

The colorway calls back to Brunson’s “Statue of Liberty” Kobe 6, sharing similar turquoise tones while centering the gradient effect more aggressively across the whole shoe. No retail release has been confirmed yet.

He has been in the news for a plethora of financial and relationship issues. In fact, he has since pivoted to the world of live streaming. Live streaming in 2026 has become a cesspool. While you still have your legacy guys like ImDontai, Kai Cenat, and YourRAGE, others only exist to invade the algorithm. Unfortunately, Broner has taken the latter path.

Just last week, the former boxer went viral for making numerous women uncomfortable while live. He would follow up rejection with bizarre and threatening rants. Fans remarked just how frightened the women appeared to be. On Tuesday night, Broner scared another woman after demanding she pay an alleged $500 debt.

Broner’s ex-wife, Arie Nicole, saw clips from the live stream on social media, and decided to take action. She donated $3 to the stream, and hit Broner with a reality check in the process.

In the clip above, Arie Nicole tells Broner that he is making women uncomfortable, and that it needs to stop. She also urged him to stop drinking and to “handle his liquor.” Arie Nicole also made sure to mention that Broner’s behavior could have a negative impact on their daughter.

Arie Nicole closed out the message by telling Broner that he is the “worst thing” to come into her life. Broner seemed to shrug off the messages, although there is no denying that the reality check caught people’s attention.

If one thing is for certain, it is that live streaming has become a net-negative for a lot of celebrities.

The plea deal comes almost two years after a September 2024 arrest in which Longway was accused of trafficking drugs through his studio. According to prosecutors, it was also alleged that Longway was storing an array of firearms in both his home and studio.

At the time of Longway’s arrest, many of his assets were seized, including a plethora of jewelry pieces. This included chains, pendants, bracelets, watches, and more. Typically, the feds will auction off these pieces after some time has passed, and the case has progressed.

With Longway agreeing to a plea deal, the feds have started the process of auctioning off his jewelry. As you can see below, some of the prices are starting to make their way to social media.

Peewee Longway Jewelry Auction

At the time of writing this, there are some “tested” pieces going for thousands of dollars. For instance, a “Longway Longway” pendant is going for $11,500. Meanwhile, a “diamond simulant” MPA pendant is only going for $30. One of the more intricate pendants in the auction has a highest bid of around $7,000.

There are currently a plethora of other pieces up for auction. Some of these pieces are tied to other cases that have nothing to do with Peewee Longway. Usually, the government will do these auctions in bulk.

Overall, it remains unclear whether or not Longway will be able to buy some of these pieces back when he is released from prison. At this time, it is expected that he will receive a sentence ranging from 10 to 14 years.

He will officially be sentenced this summer, on July 9.

Blueface has taken all of this in stride. Meanwhile, the artist has not been seen with his most recent child, Chrisean Jr. Rock has received widespread criticism for the way in which she has parented Chrisean Jr. over the past couple of years. Some have even speculated that the child has a disability. Blueface’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, has perpetuated this discourse online.

In fact, Blueface has been claiming that Chrisean Jr. is not his son. Instead, he believes the baby belongs to Chrisean’s ex, who recently passed away. During an appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Blue doubled down on the claim that the child isn’t his.

Subsequently, Blueface went on to accuse Chrisean of trying to get him robbed. He says this happened very early on in their relationship, and it made him realize that Rock is a “set-up artist.”

Jason Lee eventually asked Blueface about why he stayed in the relationship. The rapper went on to say that the money was well worth the sacrifice. Their reality TV prospects were at an all-time high, and it made financial sense to stay together. It’s quite the admission, although not a surprising one when you consider everything that has happened over the last few years.

The interview with Lee, which aired on BET, dove into a plethora of topics. For instance, the two touched on Blue’s recent stint in jail, as well as his current relationship status. You can watch the entire interview below.
