However, the caption that appears at the beginning suggests she’s been tapped into her sibling’s tea spilling. “When your client spilling tea & you link her to another client,” it reads.

After that though, Jazmine doesn’t engage any further and instead explains her upcoming class. But fans in her comment section are and calling on her to defend Jayda when things inevitably go south.

Based on a reply to one user, Jazmine is more than ready to stand by Jayda’s side. “You kno how we coming! Receipts dnt lie,” she replied.

We are sure Jayda will appreciate that as things continue to get more and more tense with each passing hour.

If you aren’t in the know, this weekend, Jayda dropped a bombshell allegation during a TikTok livestream. After catching wind of users on the app asking about a potential sexual past between Ari Fletcher and Lil Baby, she confirmed the rumor.

“Them rumors are true, no shade. That’s been going on, has been a thing, but I don’t want to talk about it. Like, literally, let’s not talk about it… It’s not rumors, that sh*t is true,” she claimed.

There’s still a lot to learn going forward. For example, we don’t know when the rapper and the social media influencer got together. Given how Jayda and Baby’s relationship ended thanks to rampant cheating allegations against the latter, one could theorize that Ari got involved as their split unfolded.

We also don’t know why this rumor started. However, some potential context could be that Ari and Jayda were once close friends. Things have not been great since about 2022-2023, interestingly around the time when Jayda and the Atlanta MC broke up. Maybe Jayda is looking for some revenge?

Baby has yet to speak on the matter, but Moneybagg Yo’s girlfriend has. “What the hell?” she said when asked if she believed Jayda’s accusation.

In doing so, she argued that Megan already accepted the benefit of a reduced judgment, thus making it hypocritical for her to now try to undermine the ruling. She also claimed that the rapper previously agreed with the decision to have the jury decide Gramz’s media status. Overall, she feels there is no legal basis to reopen the case.

Megan Thee Stallion originally sued Milagro Gramz back in 2024, accusing her of allegedly spreading numerous falsehoods about her in the wake of the 2020 Tory Lanez shooting. She also accused her of reposting deepfake pornographic videos of her.

In December, the jury in the case ruled that Gramz’s work classifies her as a media defendant, meaning Megan would have had to give her special notice before suing her. In turn, the court dismissed the defamation aspect of the case. They did find Gramz liable for promoting the deepfake, however.

Afterward, Gramz reflected on the trial on Instagram Live and thanked her followers for their support throughout the process. “I love you guys so much. Hope that y’all can see the bigger picture and that you understand what new media is,” she said, as caught by Hot 97. “I hope that you understand that the things that we do, in the work that we put in, is valuable. Solid b*tches, they ain’t built, they born. I’m happy that I stood up for something that I believed in, followed it all the way through, and I don’t need validation from anybody else about those things.”

Akademiks in particular is one of Drizzy staunchest defenders, whereas Rocky doesn’t want anything to do with his ex-collaborator. When asked about a potential reconciliation in his Popcast interview, the Don’t Be Dumb creator said, “Nah, it doesn’t need to be, for what?”

On top of this, A$AP unleashes several bars for the Toronto superstar. “STOLE YA FLOW” feels like it was meant for the latter and only him. “N****s gettin’ BBLs, lucky we don’t body shame / Throwin’ dirt on Rocky name, turn around and copy game (Ready made, ready made).”

Or there’s these bars: “First you was my bro, p**sy n**** switched / Turned into a opp, f*ck his block, he a b*tch, boy / Might pull up to yo’ crib, spin it like the rent, uh / Spend it like the time that you ain’t spendin’ with yo’ kids.”

But despite all of this, the respective industry titans are joining forces for a sit-down.

What’s more though is that Rocky had nothing but praise for Akademiks while empowering him to be a cultural leader in the space.

Don’t Be Dumb Sales Projections

“Before n****as like me get up it ain’t no Shade Room… not taking anything away from [them]… Like, n****, we lookin’ at what Ak about to talk about.”

Rocky also encourages him to be more of a tastemaker rather than focus on the drama and beefs. It’s a wholesome moment and it has us ready to watch the full interview when it eventually drops.

This continues the rapper’s month of wins though as last week, Don’t Be Dumb finally arrived. The January 16 release features big names like Doechii, Tyler, The Creator, Brent Faiyaz, and etc. plus a slew of great producers.

The project’s been well-received and as a result, it’s already projected to go number one. As of now, it’s looking like it will move over 200,000 copies. It would be Rocky’s best debut by more than 50,000 units. Most of that figure can be attributed to the physical variants, especially vinyl. Per a press release, they contributed 130,000 to the projected total.

The haul included Timberland boots for $500 and Jordan 6 Retros for just $100. He also grabbed Jordan 4 Retros for $500. The big purchase was Nike SB Dunk Low “Chunky Dunky” for $3,000.

The video shows Fat Joe’s enthusiastic bargaining style with plenty of energy. Quick deals and lively banter made the clip go viral almost immediately. His personality shines through every negotiation captured on camera.

Community responses pointed out some interesting details about the deals. The Jordan 6s typically resell for $140 to $215 on StockX. Fat Joe paid just $100 but got them without the original box.

The Chunky Dunkys tell a different story entirely. This 2020 Ben & Jerry’s collaboration normally holds $960 to $2,750 value on resale markets. Fat Joe paid $3,000 for them without the special box included. That box alone can boost resale value by around $1,000.

Fat Joe Sneakers

Fat Joe was filmed sneaker shopping at Got Sole’s pop-up market with tables full of boxes and sellers negotiating directly. The video shows him going through different pairs while chatting with vendors and making quick decisions on purchases.

He picked up Timberland boots in the classic wheat colorway that everyone knows, plus some Jordan 6 Retros without the box. The Jordan 4 Retros also made it into his haul for five hundred dollars.

The biggest moment came when he copped the Nike SB Dunk Low “Chunky Dunky” with that wild Ben & Jerry’s inspired colorway for 3 grand, though the special box wasn’t included in that deal.

Got Sole’s pop-up markets continue attracting celebrity shoppers and sneaker enthusiasts alike. The energy at these events creates moments that go viral instantly. Fat Joe’s shopping spree is just another example of how sneaker culture brings people together.

“There’s a rumor that’s going around that everybody’s scared to report on, and this is just a rumor, is that, basically, Pooh Shiesty and Choppa Gang ran down on Gucci Mane, relieved him of some of his possessions, and basically forced him to sign a contract releasing Pooh Shiesty from 1017,” Adam said. From there, Adam claimed that he reached out to several industry insiders who all heard the same rumor, despite not being able to confirm any truth to it.

Wack 100 suggested that he believes the story to be “bullsh*t.” He brought up Pooh Shiesty’s recent firearms case, for which he spent three years in prison, arguing it’d be absurd to risk further legal trouble. “It’s gotta be some bullsh*t unless he’s that damn stupid,” he said.

Pooh Shiesty’s Legal Trouble

This isn’t the first time Pooh Shiesty has dealt with unfounded rumors about being in legal trouble since his release from prison, last year. Earlier this month, DJ Akademiks falsely reported that the rapper may have returned to jail with a release date in April. He later revealed that Shiesty’s record label reached out to debunk the story, noting that he is merely on home confinement until April.

Akademiks wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Pooh Shiesty record label reached out to me and confirmed that he is not in jail. Apparently his April date existed since his ‘release’ and he’s on home confinement until April like he has been the whole time since his release. Rumors of his incarceration started via a stream when fans assumed a conversation on one of his closest friends stream (Bendadon) was about him being arrested.”

The Nike Mind 001 represents Nike’s revolutionary neuroscience-based footwear innovation. Fragment’s involvement elevates this already unique product to another level. The collaboration features a black colorway with blue sensory nodes throughout.

Fragment’s signature lightning bolt logo appears on the insole confirming the partnership. Text reading “Fragment Concept Testing” is visible on the lateral side. The blue nodes replace the standard orange or red versions.

These new images show the shoe from multiple angles clearly. The all-black execution creates a sleek, stealthy aesthetic. Blue accents pop against the dark base throughout the design.

The perforated upper maintains the Mind 001’s slip-on mule construction. That sock-like fit wraps the foot in a streamlined silhouette. The design stays true to both Nike’s innovative technology and Fragment’s approach.

Blue foam nodes arranged across the outsole create visual interest. They’re the defining feature of the Mind 001 platform. The bumpy texture provides both cushioning and traction benefits.

Fujiwara has worked with Nike on countless groundbreaking projects over decades. His minimalist aesthetic aligns perfectly with the Mind’s intentional design philosophy. This partnership makes complete sense given their history together.

Nike Mind 001 Fragment

The Fragment x Nike Mind 001 looks like it came from the future with its slip-on construction and bumpy grey outsole covered in bright blue circular pods. Black and grey tones dominate the upper which features perforated material across most of the shoe for breathability.

The Fragment lightning bolt logo appears on the heel area, while “FRAGMENT CONCEPT TESTING” text runs along the lateral side in white. Inside, you can see blue Nike branding on what looks like a cushioned insole.

The whole thing has this recovery shoe meets sci-fi aesthetic that’s completely different from anything else Nike makes right now, giving off major experimental technology vibes.

Videos of them turning up to the song quickly went viral as their ignorance and heartless actions sent folks into a spiral. Making matters worse is that Clavicular couldn’t care less about it and the bans he’s said he’s received from other clubs in Miami.

In a clip from a stream following the night’s events caught by Akademiks TV, the looksmaxxing influencer showed no remorse. “I’m not sorry, Clavicular begins. “I do not apologize for what I did. I would do it again today… You can ban me from clubs, you can sh*t-talk me on Instagram, but I am not sorry.”

Clavicular adds that he’s not going to be a “little b*tch” and “censor” himself so he can’t make content, jokes, and etc. He adds, “If that’s what’s required to go into these dog sh*t Miami clubs, then keep me the f*ck out.”

Additionally, in another clip caught by Sportskeeda and X user yeet, Clavicular laughs off the hate and says that what him and his friends did was hilarious.

“Yeah, this is viral. This is f*cking everywhere, man,” he says while scrolling through several posts about their night. ‘This is the sort of thing a nine-year-old boy finds funny.’ It’s funny because we literally got a Jewish club in Miami Beach to play Heil Hitler. Right? That’s what makes it funny, it’s that we have enough status and influence to literally get them to play f*cking the most… like, you can’t even find the song on a single platform. We had to play it on f*cking Rumble.”

He adds, “So funny. So funny! ‘Awkward kid requests a song.’ Yeah, awkward kid, but we had the… yeah, look at this section. Look at this section! We’re so awkward, bro. Look at this f*cking section. F*cking b*tch a*s n****s. You know what I mean? Like, so funny! Actually, comical as sh*t. Extremely funny.”

Vendôme, the venue at which they played West’s “HH,” issued a statement on their Instagram. In their message, they denounce their actions and the idea of promoting hate speech and racism. They also share that they are investigating the issue further. “[We] will take immediate action to hold the responsible parties accountable,” they write.

Don Lemon’s Minneapolis Protest Coverage

Minaj isn’t the only person to criticize Lemon for his coverage of the protest. The Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, Harmeet Dhillon, also issued a warning for Lemon on X. “A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws! Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service,” she wrote, as caught by The New York Post. “You are on notice!”

While Lemon has not responded to Nicki Minaj directly, he did address the backlash to his coverage of the incident in a video on Sunday night. “The MAGA administration and the fake news MAGAs are losing their mind over something that’s not even true,” Lemon said. “I had no affiliations with that organization. I didn’t even know they were going to this church until we followed them. We were there chronicling protests. Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to the people who were involved, which included the pastor, members of the church, and members of the organization. That’s it.”

The protest came after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, earlier this month.

Their breakdown says that 70-90K of that total is stream equivalent or SEA, and 100K are physical. That latter statistic seemingly is taking into account a previous report. On Saturday, a press release reported that Rocky had already sold 130,000 copies thanks to the variety of offered vinyl prior to release day on January 16.

But with the 100,000+ purportedly translating to the 130,000 figure and the floor for digital being 70,000, Rocky is surely going to blow his other debuts out of the water. Per Hip Hop All Day, the Harlem native’s best first sales week was for 2015’s AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP.

The fan-favorite project did a still respectable 146,000 units. For more context, 2013’s LONG.LIVE.A$AP is right behind its sequel, selling 139K. TESTING currently sits in third place with 75,000, and his introductory LP, 2011’s LIVE.LOVE.A$AP pushed 15,000 copies.

For Don’t Be Dumb to basically take first place in this case is impressive, though. This project has been years in the making and is only his first in nearly eight years.

Thanks to the constant delays and reported low demand up until the last couple of months, Rocky seemed destined for a mediocre comeback.

Who Is Featured On Don’t Be Dumb?

But he defied all of that and now, he’s setting the bar pretty high for rap in 2026 from a sales perspective. However, the quality on Don’t Be Dumb is certainly there, despite what some Drake or Doechii detractors will tell you.

The 17-track project is diverse in every sense. From the rapid-fire changes from song-to-song production wise to the features, it’s a Rocky project to a tee but still one of his most focused.

Speaking of those guests, there are a lot and they don’t disappoint. Brent Faiyaz or Doechii seem to have be the consensus for the best ones. They deliver magic on their respective tracks, with the former landing on “STAY HERE 4 LIFE” and the latter appearing on “ROBBERY.”

But the greatness continues thanks to Sauce Walka on “STOP SNITCHING” or Tyler, The Creator on “FISH N STEAK (WHAT IT IS).” If you want the full breakdown of who’s where, check out our article here.
