The podcast, hosted by rapper N.O.R.E, teased some of their conversation and it sounds like Turk is becoming fed up. In the clip, he shares that during the process of recording his most recent project, Joseph, which dropped in August 2025, he was trying to do songs with B.G., affiliate Mannie Fresh, Birdman, Lil Wayne, and Juvenile.

In fact, he did have song with the Cash Money founder called “All the Money.” The track did make the project; however, he opted for removing Birdman. His perspective is that he didn’t want to create the narrative that he’s trying to ride his coattails amid their dispute.

However, the most explosive moment revolves around his revelation about Juvenile and trying get him on “Still on Fire.” Turk explains that he was really pouring a lot into the track and was trying to convince him and the rest of the gang to do a remix.

However, according to Turk’s account, Juvenile couldn’t bring himself to do it as he couldn’t get over his lingering controversies with Hot Boys and Cash Money. As Turk claims, Juvenile said, “‘It’s something about that word still.'” He didn’t understand what he was trying to tell him.

But he claims Juvy told him, “‘It just seem like you lost something or something.'” Turk then indirectly labels Juvenile a hypocrite as says he’s in the news for his podcast with Mannie Fresh, Still 400, interviewing controversial people while he’s allegedly been told to stay offline and away from speaking platforms. “What the f*ck?!” Turk shouts.

“They interviewing a n**** like Finesse2tymes, controversy. NBA YoungBoy mama, controversy. Bun B, controversy. N****, I thought y’all staying away from negative sh*t? These n****s be in the media for speaking they f*cking mind! And that’s when a n**** say its controversial. That’s all I do.”

Get your popcorn ready folks, it may be a wild ride ahead.

While many viewers find the skit to be amusing and accurate, others are outraged. Those in the latter camp are accusing Druski of making fun of God or mocking Christians. “You don’t make jokes about God. It shows just how disrespectful and ungrateful you are,” one user says in part. “There’s a difference between questioning power and ridiculing what gives people meaning. One can be necessary. The other just hollows things out,” another claims.

Druski’s supporters, on the other hand, are coming to his defense. “Druski skit wasn’t an attack on religion or Christianity tho, it was an attack on those Preachers who call themselves leading people to Christ but focus on self praise, financial gain, and manipulating their congregation,” one explains. Someone else simply claims, “Druski didn’t tell a single lie in that skit.”

At the time of writing, Druski has not publicly addressed the controversy surrounding the skit.

Druski Controversies

This is far from the first Druski skit to ruffle feathers. Back in 2022, he posted a skit in which he played a man who encourages women to drink too much so he can sexually assault them.

“I think I just played the character too well,” he said of the skit when asked about the backlash during an interview with Rolling Stone. Ultimately, Druski ended up removing the skit from social media.

“I didn’t want to continue to trigger people,” he explained. “It’s always coming from a good place.” Druski added that despite the controversy, he would continue making the kind of content he’s famous for. “I was like, ‘Yo, you have to remember this is the same stuff that I’ve been doing. This is my comedic voice,’” he concluded.

Sadly, that didn’t happen and it didn’t help that the “Look At Me!” artist took his issues with him to the grave. However, it sounds like Drake had nothing but respect for XXX, allegedly sharing that sentiment with his mother.

This bombshell news is a result of an interview DJ Akademiks conducted with Rolling Loud’s co-founder, Tariq Cherif. In a clip from their caught by Cousin Tino on X, the latter claims that XXX’s mom, Cleopatra Bernard, told him that Drizzy reached out to her.

It was allegedly all “love;” however, Tariq posits that she may not have trusted his words. But that’s just something he’s pondered and isn’t fact. This took DJ Akademiks aback a little as this seemingly isn’t something that’s ever been discussed.

The clip doesn’t go into much more detail, but Tariq admits that this could bring some more negative attention to Drake given that aforementioned history.

Did Drake & XXXTentacion Have Beef?

Now that this is out in the ether, it will be interesting to see of Cleopatra Bernard decides to confirm or deny Tariq’s “facts.”

As for the details of their history, XXXTENTACION accused the Toronto superstar of copying his flow back in 2017. Specifically, he believed that his delivery on the More Life song “KMT” sounded eerily similar to “Look At Me!”

He publicly blasted him and it created a lot of debate online. In part he said, “If he would have shown that he’s a hospitable person and that he’s really in this sh*t for the culture rather than being a f*ck n**** taking my sh*t, running off with it then putting it on his album than he would have got my kudos, he would have got my respect. I would have let him hop on the remix, take 100 percent of the royalty rate. I would have done it.”

XXX did show respect to his overall artistry though, but its clear animosity existed and was largely one-sided. As a result, the former’s affiliates don’t mess with Drake either, including DJ Scheme.

“Bagg put the police on me,” he alleged, as captured by No Jumper. “Yall be wanting me to go to jail so bad [laughing emoji] I don’t carry nun but some Za and a yerk or 2 yaw n***s some real haters.” Finesse2tymes didn’t stop there, either.

“And bagg u know I know the truth,” he continued. “Yo cousin Big homie g name BEEN in paper work GOT THE DAMO MAN REAL TIME and yall swept ts under the rug so quit speakn on rats and u with one.” At the time of writing, Moneybagg Yo has not publicly responded to the accusations.

Moneybagg Yo is far from the only person Finesse2tymes has problems with. He also recently went after G Herbo and his ex, Ari Fletcher. Coincidentally, Fletcher is Moneybagg’s current girlfriend. It all started when G Herbo posted a laughing emoji in response to a post about him.

“G Herbo, I seen you laughing under the post, grown baby-looking a** n***a,” he said on Instagram Live. “That sh*t wasn’t funny, n***a. […] I guess you’re mad because [FNG Shugga] look better than Ari [Fletcher].”

“Man, Ari eye is close as hell together,” he added. “She been in the game longer than Shugg, though — money-wise… but we getting there, we getting there. But look-wise? Body? C’mon, mane. C’mon, bruh.”

Fletcher later shared a tweet that Finesse2tymes’ girlfriend, FNG Shugga, perceived as a diss. This prompted her to set the record straight.

“Please do not attach anything I do or say to whoever those people are,” Fletcher wrote. “I do not know them or know what they doing on these platforms. I don’t go this low. Please don’t ever play with my name attaching me to those things.”

Sneaker News reports that the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 pack is set to release in either late February or March 2026.

Patta has earned a legendary reputation for their Air Max 1 collaborations over the past decade. Their ability to mix colors and materials always results in highly sought-after releases that sell out. This Waves iteration brings their signature look to the Air Max 1 nicely.

The first colorway features grey mesh and suede with bold orange accents throughout the shoe. Orange hits the swoosh, mudguard, and outsole creating vibrant contrast against that grey base. A gold chain hangtag adds Patta’s signature luxe touch that fans have come to love.

The second pair goes with an all-white and cream upper with orange detailing. This cleaner colorway offers a more versatile option for everyday wear.

Both versions maintain that classic Air Max 1 aesthetic while incorporating Patta’s design language throughout. The Waves model features cushioning and comfort compared to the standard Air Max 1.

Modified paneling and construction give this version its own distinct identity within the Air Max lineup. Patta’s collaborative releases typically sell out instantly given the limited production numbers and big demand.

Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Waves

The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Waves comes in two really nice colorways with the first rocking grey mesh and suede paired with bright orange accents. The orange swoosh really pops against that grey base while orange also hits the wavy mudguard and outsole for contrast.

There’s this cool gold chain hangtag hanging off the laces adding that premium Patta touch to the whole package. The second colorway goes way cleaner with an all-white and cream upper letting those orange details stand out even more.

Both pairs have that classic Air Max 1 shape with the visible Air bubble in the heel and those wavy overlays giving the Waves version its distinctive look.

“[Lil Durk] is confined to a very small jail cell, just large enough for a single bed, a toilet, and a sink, for 23 hours a day,” they wrote. “He does not have access to commissary. He is permitted one phone call a month, and no in-person social visits.”

“Mr. Banks’ defense team has a growing concern that his prolonged solitary confinement may implicate the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on ‘cruel and unusual punishment,'” they continued.

When Is Lil Durk’s Trial?

Fortunately for Durk, he got his way. News of his release from solitary confinement comes shortly after his trial date was updated. It’s now set to begin on April 21, 2026. It was previously scheduled for January of 2026. It was pushed back due to the overwhelming amount of evidence that needs to be reviewed.

“The case is so unusual and so complex, due to the nature of the prosecution and the number of defendants that it is unreasonable to expect preparation for pre-trial proceedings or for the trial itself within the time limits established by the Speedy Trial Act,” the California judge who granted the continuance explained.

“We would have been ready to try the case (in two weeks), but the court appropriately decided that with everybody together, we still aren’t there yet,” Durk’s attorney, Drew Findling, added. “It’s a complex case. These are the stepping stones towards a trial.”

Officials told the outlet that they got a call from an individual claiming to have been robbed and assaulted in Belle Haven. When they got there, they pointed out the alleged perpetrator, and it was West. Shortly after his arrest, he was released on a $1K bond. Apparently, he took just $23 from the alleged victim. His team has not publicly commented on the arrest at the time of writing.

This isn’t the first time in recent months that West has been arrested, either. In November, he was taken into custody after showing signs of public intoxication. Officers said it was “for his own safety.”

Is Delonte West Sober?

It was reported earlier this month that West’s life was headed in the right direction, as he was celebrating 30 days sober in rehab. It’s unclear whether or not that’s still the case. The former NBA star has had some help from loved ones amid his battles with homelessness, addiction, and mental health issues.

Mark Cuban, for example, previously tried to get him help. “I thought we had him,” he told Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay in 2024. “I thought we had him turned around. We sent him down to Jayson’s place down in Florida. It’s like a farm, Jayson Williams.’”

“It’s like he’s making progress, sending pictures,” he continued. “Donte’s e-mailing me, and I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, we getting this,’ and then Donte throws the sh** over the fence, and disappears. We bring him back again, making progress, this is it, same sh**… Only so much you can do. Mental illness is real. It is real, and you just don’t wish it away.”

Run it up for my baby, they pay me that payment, watch how I do ’em (Baow, baow)

He did so during a recent episode of imPAULSIVE with guest Ken Goldin, the founder of Goldin, an auction website for rare collectibles. It’s where the Bob Ross piece was listed, with the victor of the battle being Drake in late 2024. It went to the Toronto native for $93,000, which is a public auction record for the late artist.

In the clip caught by Dexerto and Akademiks TV, Logan Paul says he was “a little tipsy” at the time. However, he was eager to get his hands on it. “[Drake] outbid me on a Bob Ross… I’m bidding on this Bob Ross, and someone outbid me. It was well above the estimate. I’m like, who the f*ck could this be?” he recalled.

Goldin, who is legally not allowed to reveal the names of customers during an auction, knew it was Drake all along. He admits he was “dying” as they went back and forth over the Bob Ross. “Of course, I see and I’m like ‘oh sh*t, I wish I could call one of them and say so, Drake won that.'”

When Is Drake Releasing ICEMAN?

Fun fact: If you have been following Dralke’s ICEMAN rollout since the beginning, you may recall an Instagram carousel he posted back in May 2025. He hinted at the project and its title with various things that represent “cold” such as icy jewelry.

One of those items included this Bob Ross painting, which is when he revealed himself to be the winner of the delightful piece of art.

But speaking of ICEMAN, Drake is keeping his fans anxiously waiting for it. He’s yet to reveal the release date but has been reassuring them that he’s “cheffin'” it up. DJ Akademiks has been teasing it like crazy over the last couple of weeks, saying that it’s dropping sooner than later.

Many of the applications expired because Ye’s trademark firm, Ox Paha, didn’t demonstrate how the trademarks would be used in time. Reportedly, zero Ox Paha applications have been approved by the trademark office in the past five years. Other abandoned applications include Ye, Yeezus, Yeezy Sound, Donda, and more.

News of the abandoned trademark applications comes just a couple of months after the Chicago rapper met with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto. During the meeting, he expressed remorse for his antisemitic past.
