As caught by Hollywood Unlocked on Instagram, a fan on Twitter caught a clip of the singer and the Harlem creative packing on the PDA during an event. “Rihanna is gone,” the fan wrote, to which she responded with, “Claressa Shields type gone bout him!!”

Shields caught the cosign and responded on Twitter, as caught by The Shade Room. “period @rihanna only way to be about a good man.” She also took to IG with this caption covering the shoutout: “Long as my girl [Rihanna] Understand me, it’s all good she Claressa Shields Gone bout her man.” Some fans feel like this might’ve been more shady than the GWOAT interpreted it as, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Then, Pap himself responded to this via an Instagram post. “Claressa has a big heart,” he wrote. “Always wearing a big smile! Most think she’s so rugged because she’s a fighter. But The way she takes care of her body is on another level. Zoom in… she has small hands, small feet, & some unbelievably smooth a** skin. Very beautiful Black woman. When the way you LOVE can Inspire others. That says a lot!!! @claressashields #gwoat Peace to Rihanna & Rocky… wow family life looks great on them.“

For those unaware, Claressa Shields and Papoose’s relationship began sometime in mid-2024, and became public late that year. It followed a lot of drama concerning the latter’s ex Remy Ma, which still spills over sometimes.

As for A$AP Rocky and Rihanna’s romance, they were just friends for a long time, starting early in the 2010s. They reportedly started dating in late 2019, rumors swirled about a romance in 2020, and folks finally got confirmation in 2021.

They have all been through a lot, but love holds them together. We’ll see what other narratives and celebrations come their way.

In fact, the project is reportedly set to re-enter the top 20 of Billboard‘s album charts, specifically at the number 17 slot. It would be its highest-charting placement in 14 years. According to the publication, Take Care was at number 22 last week, rising 27 spots from the previous week for a 670th week on the chart. According to HITS Daily Double, the album will move a little over 24K album-equivalent units this week, bolstered mostly its continued streaming success.

This follows Drake’s recent commercial success with Take Care. It’s far from the first headline you’ve probably seen recently concerning new sales resurgences and commercial achievements. It just goes to show that this is still one of his most beloved and consistently rewarding LPs.

What Was Drake’s First Album?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Complex Music (@complexmusic)

While many fans might look at this as Drizzy’s first massive full-length release, it was not his first. The title of his first studio album instead goes to 2010’s Thank Me Later. Take Care followed the next year, and Thank Me Later itself followed three breakout mixtapes. 2006 gave us Room For Improvement, that room got results via 2007’s Comeback Season, and when So Far Gone came out in 2009, the Toronto superstar saw the sky as the limit. Some might say he even surpassed it at this point with his massive private jet.

Corny jokes aside, Drake’s been reminiscing himself as of late. He recently shared a picture of the day he signed his first record deal, “the day [his and OVO’s] lives changed.”

Does this reflection mean that Drake’s coming back hard with ICEMAN? Or are we in for a disappointing release? Either way, Take Care will always be here to captivate fans, and it doesn’t look like the enduring love for it is going away anytime soon.

Here’s how the story started… At least, this most recent phase. Jim Jones called Cam’ron and his crew “soft” following a lot of beef between the former members of The Diplomats. Fellow Dipset member Freekey Zekey then posted an old video of Jim’s confrontation with Dash, in which he tries to confront him with various colleagues at his side. But the Roc-A-Fella executive wanted a fair one-on-one.

Killa Cam responded to this in the comments section of Zekey’s post, as caught by No Jumper on Instagram. He left an emoji of a pair of eyes, and also had rare praise for Dame. For those unaware, Cam’ron and Dame Dash have their own beef.

“@duskopoppington [Dame’s IG account] I know I’m ‘fredo’ lol but u looked good out there this day,” the It Is What It Is host expressed, adding some robotic arm muscle flex emojis.

What’s Jim Jones’ Beef With Dame Dash?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

For those unaware, Jim Jones and Dame Dash’s beef goes back over a decade to a shot that Jim threw at Dame for being a “culture vulture” back in 2014. While their falling out as collaborators and business partners doesn’t have much specific clarification, it seems like different ventures, separate ways, and loyalties amid other feuds got in the way.

Most recently, there haven’t been many developments in their relationship or when it comes to clarifying the issues they have with one another. But they also have plenty of other beef on their plate.

The irony about Jim Jones, Cam’ron, and Dame Dash’s fallout isn’t just that they all have their individual issues with the others. It’s that other colleagues like 50 Cent are also on their battlefield. He and Cam hashed out their issues, so whenever there’s a chance to bash Jones or Dash, they have a reason to team up.

Not only that, but as caught by No Jumper on Instagram, he returned to his livestream platform on Kick to recount what happened to fans and share pictures of the stitches on his head. The clips circling around social media don’t show all of what JJ talked about, but they gave fans a good idea of what his status is.

“It’s not that noticeable, though,” he said of the stitches, later going into what happened. “I ain’t gon’ lie, I felt the blood and s**t coming down. I thought I got hit for a second. But I was able to run and s**t. Me and Loaf and the camera man, we ran down the street and s**t. I thought I was hit, I seen mad blood coming down. I should’ve stayed home. ‘Cause I was going to stay home. I wasn’t trying to go.”

“We went to the car,” ItsJJx explained, as caught by Biggie clips on Twitter. “Konvy got in first, I got on second, and then Loaf got in third. We was talking and s**t. And I heard the shots. […] We went to someone’s house.”

For those unaware, Konvy confirmed he was okay and did not suffer any injuries earlier this weekend, relaying the update on ItsJJx at the time. “I wanna thank God for keeping us protected thru out the whole situation,” he tweeted. “my friend got grazed but he is good and stable, i appreciate all the people checking up im tryna get back to everyone.”

Elsewhere, other rumors about the Konvy shooting saw quick dismissal online. Lil Tjay responded to rumors that he taunted the streamer on social media and had involvement in the shooting. He took to various platforms to deny and debunk all of this, sending his prayers to those affected.

This is over the sale of Ye’s former Malibu mansion. Specifically, the lawsuit claims Saxon and the law firm West Coast Trial Lawyers unrightfully placed a lien on the property for $1.8 million. It also alleges the perpetration of “an aggressive publicity campaign designed to pressure Ye, chill prospective transactions, and extract payment on disputed claims already being litigated in court.”

This follows Saxon’s own lawsuit against Kanye West from 2023, claiming labor law violations, unpaid wages, distressing workplace conditions, and disability discrimination. He sought to ensure compensation for his work through the lien, and the Chicago artist previously denied his claims.

“These statements were designed to create public pressure and to interfere with the Plaintiffs’ ability to sell and finance the Property by falsely conveying that Defendants held an adjudicated, enforceable right to block a transaction and divert sale proceeds,” the lawsuit reads. It also noted how the court released the lien from the bond, but how this still impacts real estate standings and other sale metrics.

What Happened To Kanye West’s Malibu Mansion?

The history of this Kanye West Malibu property is long and complex. He originally bought it in 2021 for $57.3 million, gutted it in an attempt to make a “bomb shelter,” and sold it to Steven Belmont’s Belwood Investments for $21 million. But since then, many other legal and financial disputes kept its status and its final buyer hanging in the air.

This is all in the background of Kanye West’s upcoming album BULLY. We got more information on the release leading to its final drop on Friday, January 30. This includes the tracklist, the sale of physical variants, and the claim from Ye’s team that he will not use artificial intelligence on the project. We will see how it shapes up, and how this long-running Malibu saga finally comes to a close.

House Of Heat reports that the Air Jordan 4 “Valentine’s Day” will be released on February 7th, 2026.

The “Valentine’s Day” theme translates beautifully onto the classic Air Jordan 4 silhouette. Cream leather covers most of the upper creating a soft vintage aesthetic throughout. Rose red accents hit the heel, midsole, collar, and branding areas strategically.

Also a special heart-shaped hangtag with Jumpman logo adds Valentine’s Day-specific detailing perfectly. The cream and red combination feels elegant without being overly feminine or limiting. Anyone can rock this colorway confidently for the holiday.

Jordan Brand has released Valentine’s Day themed sneakers for several years running now. These special releases typically drop in early February ahead of the actual holiday. The Air Jordan 4 provides an excellent canvas for this romantic color story.

The cream leather will develop a nice patina over time with wear. Red mesh panels on the quarter and tongue provide breathability and texture contrast. Vintage-style midsole aging gives these an instant worn-in retro vibe from day one.

Air Jordan 4 “Valentine’s Day” Retail Price

The Air Jordan 4 “Valentine’s Day” features a pretty cream leather upper that has an aged vintage look right out of the box. Also rose red hits the heel counter, midsole, inner collar, and Jumpman branding creating that Valentine’s theme without being too over the top.

You can see the classic Jordan 4 mesh panels in cream on the sides and tongue adding breathability and that iconic texture. Further the special heart-shaped hangtag with a Jumpman logo inside is such a cute touch that makes this release feel extra special.

Cream laces match the base perfectly while red eyelets add little pops of color throughout the lacing system. The midsole has this pre-aged yellowed look giving it instant vintage appeal like it’s been loved for years already.

Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $220 when they are released.

Two of the social media personality’s friends answered that this number is six figures a month, as caught by Livebitez on Instagram. As covered by The Shade Room, this clip led to some heavy criticism from Ak.

“These girls, when they’re popping this type of s**t, the guys who got the money fly them out,” he said. “Maybe they think a bag is cool… They’re hypnotized by money, you f**k them for a week, and you send them back. They sit there, post a bunch of pictures of places you live in, cars you drive, and they get back on the track, and wait for the other millionaire to fly them out. It’s kind of a sad life. I don’t know how they make it look so lit… Chat, these are the women you do not take serious.”

Then, Summyah clapped back at DJ Akademiks on Twitter. “This gay b***h don’t know what I do or what I got,” she wrote. “YOU the kind of n***a women need to stay away from gossiping fat b***h if my hg wants that maybe she got a n***a doing that.”

For those unaware, some of this discussion started amid rumors that Summyah was dating Trippie Redd following a vacation together. This led DJ Akademiks to levy escort allegations against her, which she clapped back at with full force during a heated argument. SummyahMarie denied having intimate relations with Trippie and blasted Akademiks for making assumptions about her lifestyle and decisions.

They also got into another argument caught by Livebitez on IG, with Ak hammering hard on the Trippie rumors and calling Summyah’s framing disingenuous. There’s a lot of gossip, drama, and debate going on that fans can barely keep track of.

While Drizzy didn’t specify the actual deal itself, fans assume that it’s the Young Money signing that sent his career into the stratosphere. “The day our lives changed,” he captioned his repost. The picture itself is of the Toronto superstar and his friends outside of a car, and you can see him specifically holding a piece of paper in his hand.

But this doesn’t just look back at his musical evolution and his growth as a global force. It’s also a reflection of how far Drake’s friends have come alongside him. This joins some other recent celebrations and moments of appreciation, such as Chubbs proposing to his partner Zizi after about six years together. OVO has come a long way, and there’s always more life to live.

What Is Drake’s Current Record Deal?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Complex Music (@complexmusic)

For those unaware, the OVO mogul’s current record deal is a massive contract with UMG in collaboration with Republic Records and his OVO Sound imprint. A lot of controversy and debate emerged about this partnership due to some important legal action that emerged years later.

Of course, we’re talking about Drake’s defamation lawsuit against UMG over “Not Like Us,” the Kendrick Lamar diss track. He and his team continue to appeal that legal pursuit’s dismissal, and we will see if they are successful in their attempts to revive it.

Sadly for Drake, he has other legal problems. He, Stake, Adin Ross, and George Nguyen were recently hit with a civil class action RICO lawsuit claiming an illegal gambling operation, covertly botted streams of his music, and more.

Nevertheless, The Boy is still on top of the world, and he knows his journey to the peak very well. Reminding himself of his origins might be the fuel he needs to stay sharp.

Special Fragment branding and blue sensory nodes suggest an exclusive colorway is coming. The Nike Mind 001 represents Nike’s revolutionary neuroscience-based footwear innovation as discussed previously.

Fujiwara’s involvement would elevate this already unique product to another level entirely. Fragment Design collaborations consistently rank among the most coveted sneaker releases each year. The teaser images show a black colorway with blue sensory nodes throughout.

Fragment’s signature lightning bolt logo appears on the insole confirming the collaboration officially. Text reading “Fragment Concept Testing” can be seen on the lateral side clearly. This partnership makes perfect sense given Fujiwara’s history of innovative Nike collaborations overall.

The Japanese designer has worked with Nike on countless groundbreaking projects over decades. His minimalist aesthetic aligns perfectly with the Nike Mind’s intentional design philosophy. The blue nodes replacing the standard orange or red versions create distinction.

This color swap gives the Fragment edition its own unique identity immediately. Collectors will undoubtedly scramble for this limited collaborative release when it drops.

Nike Mind x Fragment Design

The Fragment x Nike Mind 001 looks sleek in this all-black colorway with those distinctive blue sensory nodes covering the outsole. The black perforated upper with that super minimal slip-on mule construction that defines the Mind 001 silhouette.

The blue foam nodes arranged across the bottom create this really cool contrast against the black base. Fragment’s subtle branding appears with “Fragment Concept Testing” text printed on the side in white lettering.

The insole shows a glowing blue lightning bolt logo which is Fragment’s signature mark that fans recognize instantly. From the top-down view the shoe looks streamlined and futuristic with that sock-like upper wrapping your foot.

The overall aesthetic stays true to both Nike’s innovative Mind technology and Hiroshi Fujiwara’s minimalist design philosophy perfectly blending both brands’ DNA together seamlessly.

As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, a fan recently walked into a Target store and allegedly found a copy of the LP’s vinyl variant on store shelves before its actual release. At press time, an official statement, denial, or explanation regarding this from either the Harlem creative’s team or from Target hasn’t emerged.

Furthermore, fans went wild with theories, jokes, and interpretations online. Some straight-up called this fake news, others expressed concern over potential leaks, and various fans chalked it up to an employee mistake. For the record, no leaks regarding DBD have emerged in the public eye as of writing this article.

In any case, this doesn’t seem to have affected the success of A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb vinyls or the progress of its rollout, if it’s true to begin with. We’ll see if we get any official confirmation on this report.

When Is A$AP Rocky Dropping “Helicopter”?

Nevertheless, A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb rollout continues. He will release his next single for the project, “Helicopter,” tomorrow (Monday, January 12). The snippet Rocky shared online sounds more in line with what fans expect from him: a cold-blooded banger. This is after A$AP Rocky’s previous Don’t Be Dumb single, “Punk Rocky,” explored more alt-rock vibes à la “Sundress.”

Both of those releases will show that this upcoming album is another genre-fusing show of versatility from him. Of course, we have to hear the whole thing to know for sure. If this Target appearance yields more consequences, fans might get to hear it earlier.

But they hope that doesn’t happen, as it might derail this rollout after such a long wait already. So again, we’ll see if any official information comes out. Still, it seems like it won’t cause much of a direct or consequential fuss either way. Fans are just excited to finally tune in.
