She said “Don’t stop! Ah, oh my God!”, you can’t find a love like ours
Girl this ain’t no facade, and yes, I even wan’t your flaws
Argue, make up to mine, walk back in my open arms
Boss, you’re the one in charge, so yes, I’ll let you hold my heart
She said “Don’t stop! Ah, oh my God!”, you can’t find a love like ours
Girl this ain’t no facade, and yes, I even wan’t your flaws

Joe And Donell Jones Delivered Plenty Of Memorable Hits

Jones scored some wins of his own, too. “This Luv” edged out Joe’s “Ride Wit U,” while “Where I Wanna Be” earned 63 percent of the Complex community vote against “Stutter.” However, Joe delivered one of the night’s biggest margins when “What If A Woman?” pulled 85 percent against Jones’ cover of Usher’s “Think of You.”

The numbers weren’t the only thing driving the conversation online. Fans also debated the live performances themselves, with some viewers criticizing Jones’ vocals and arguing that Joe sounded noticeably stronger throughout the night. The reactions quickly turned into declarations that Joe had “cooked” his opponent.

Of course, Verzuz has always been as much about celebrating catalogs as keeping score. Jones came armed with classics, songwriting credits and a memorable 702 reunion. But judging by the community scorecard and the conversation surrounding the performances, Joe walked away from this one with the advantage.

During a recent livestream, Saffold discussed Blueface’s relationship with Javaughn and Journey, whom he shares with Jaidyn Alexis. According to Saffold, the children have not seen their father in roughly a month, and Javaughn reportedly asked his grandmother whether Blueface was back in jail.

“But the kids are starting to ask about you, and it’s time for you to step up and do your job,” she told her son.

Saffold explained that she has avoided discussing any problems between Blueface and Alexis with the children. Instead, she says she tells them their parents are working and that they’ll be spending additional time with their grandmother.

Karlissa Speaks Up

She also encouraged Blueface not to allow whatever issues he may have with Alexis to affect his relationship with their kids. According to Saffold, Alexis has not asked the rapper for money since his release, though she believes Blueface should still contribute financially.

“Your kids are feeling like that, and they should not, because they haven’t done anything wrong,” she added.

The conversation comes as Blueface’s family continues to expand. He recently welcomed a baby boy, Johnathan Jr., with his girlfriend Nevaeh Akira. Chrisean Rock is also raising her son, Chrisean Jr., whom she has publicly identified as Blueface’s child, though the rapper has disputed his paternity. Saffold addressed that situation as well, saying Javaughn and Journey have been receptive to their siblings regardless of the complicated relationships between the adults.

As for Chrisean Jr., Saffold maintained that she personally considers him her grandson unless definitive evidence proves otherwise. She said that despite the ongoing speculation, she still sees a resemblance to Blueface when looking at the toddler.

In the meantime, while Blueface welcomes a new baby, deals with baby mama drama, and now deciding whether to listen to parenting advice from his mom, it remains to be seen how things will play out. Although, viewers will likely see the real-time effects as he continues to livestream.

LeBron James laced up in a sleek black pair for the session, sticking to his usual all black training look. It’s a fitting choice heading into a big year, especially with his LeBron 24 signature shoe already confirmed for release this season. At 41 years old, Lebron still treats these early sessions like any other workout day.

Tyrese Maxey isn’t far behind on the sneaker front either. He’s coming off the release of his first signature shoe with New Balance. The Maxey v1, built around FuelCell cushioning and a stability focused plate system. Seeing him train in New Balance gear alongside two of his new Nike teammates makes for an interesting mix on the same court.

Jaylen Brown rounded out the trio, joining the session fresh off his blockbuster trade from Boston. Between three different sneaker deals sharing the same gym, this workout doubled as a preview of what Sixers footwear could look like all season.

Philadelphia 76ers Sneakers

This session means more than the shoes on foot. It’s the first real look at them sharing a court together after Philadelphia’s wild offseason overhaul. Jalen Brown arrived via trade from Boston, while James signed a 2 year deal after leaving the Lakers.

LeBron enters this season with more history riding on it than usual. He’s set to open the season against the defending champion Knicks on October 20th, making his Sixers debut on one of the league’s biggest stages. The LeBron 24 will be right there with him.

For a franchise chasing its first real title window in decades, even a low key workout carries plenty of buzz. With 3 shoe deals and 3 stars in the same gym, Philadelphia’s new era is already taking shape on and off the court.

As people began looking more closely at Brown, another name resurfaced. Ailea Brown, her daughter, vanished years earlier. Ailea was 10 when she was reported missing from Reisterstown, Maryland, on May 25, 2019. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children still lists her as missing today. She is now 17, and her current NCMEC poster states that she “may be in the company of her mother.”

The renewed attention soon collided with an active criminal investigation. On July 6, authorities stopped Alicia on Interstate 85 in Georgia and arrested her on outstanding warrants. Baltimore County police confirmed that their Crimes Against Children Unit had filed charges connected to Ailea’s disappearance and was seeking Alicia’s extradition to Maryland. She was also wanted in Fulton County on a separate interference-with-child-custody warrant. Two children were safely recovered from Alicia’s vehicle, but Baltimore County police later confirmed that Ailea was not one of them and remained missing.

Now, Alicia is taking legal action of her own. In a federal complaint dated August 14, she sued Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, arguing that the Georgia warrant used during her arrest was erroneous. She says that warrant was later recalled and the charge was never prosecuted. Importantly, her lawsuit challenges the Fulton County warrant, not the separate Maryland case tied to Ailea.

The legal battles involving Alicia and Big Tigger have given Ailea’s disappearance an unexpected new audience. However, they have not answered the question that has followed her case since 2019. What happened to the 10-year-old girl who left behind a missing person investigation that remains open seven years later?

Who Is Ailea Brown?

Police said 10-year-old Ailea Brown was last seen at her home in the 300 block of Erin Russell Court in Reisterstown, Maryland, on May 25, 2019. A person inside the residence contacted authorities at around 1 a.m. to report that she had vanished. Investigators later said a white SUV had been spotted in the area shortly before Ailea was reported missing, although police did not publicly establish what connection, if any, the vehicle had to her disappearance.

At the time, Ailea was described as 4 feet, 8 inches tall and approximately 85 pounds. She had brown hair and brown eyes, with a medium complexion. Baltimore County police initially stressed that detectives had no evidence pointing to a stranger abduction. Instead, investigators were trying to determine whether Ailea had left on her own or whether someone had helped her leave. Police said they were following several leads but needed information from the public to move the case forward.

The Custody Dispute Before Ailea Disappeared

The circumstances surrounding Ailea’s disappearance were already complicated by a custody dispute between her parents. According to Complex, Ailea’s father, Durrell Williams, had been awarded full custody and was expecting his daughter to be transferred into his care when she vanished in May 2019. The outlet reported that Ailea disappeared shortly before that transfer was supposed to occur.

Williams now says he believes Ailea is alive. During an appearance on WHUR’s Nina & Joe Afternoon Show, Williams confirmed that his daughter was not among the two children found with Alicia during the traffic stop. He then went further, telling the hosts, “She’s alive. She’s definitely alive, I can confirm that.” Williams also said he had “always known pretty much what was going on,” without publicly explaining what information allowed him to make that assertion.

That version of events sits uneasily beside what Alicia Brown told reporters immediately after her daughter went missing. When FOX45 reached her by phone in June 2019, Alicia denied that Ailea was with her. She instead told the station that Ailea had been living in a foster home and had gone missing previously. Baltimore County police said at the time that they could not verify those claims. Investigators also would not confirm whether Alicia was considered a person of interest.

Police were similarly cautious about explaining what they believed had happened. Moreover, the custody issue would eventually become central to the case against Alicia, but much of what is publicly known about those family court proceedings has surfaced years later through reporting and statements by Ailea’s father.

What Police Knew In 2019

Baltimore County Police did not initially characterize Ailea’s disappearance as a non-familial abduction. Investigators said they had no evidence supporting that scenario, although the white SUV detail immediately drew their attention. Yet, police never publicly established that the vehicle was involved. By early June, investigators said they were following several leads and had reached the point where information from the public could help move the case forward.

Police also acknowledged troubling history involving Ailea and her mother. During that same 2019 interview, Shawn Vinson of the Baltimore Police Department pointed to an incident several years earlier in which Ailea had been left alone inside a vehicle while Alicia Brown was inside Maryland Live! Casino. Court reporting from 2014 shows that Alicia pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment after leaving her four-year-old daughter in a parked vehicle for roughly eight hours in December 2013. She reportedly received a three-year sentence with all but five days suspended and was placed on supervised probation.

Investigators did not publicly say that the earlier incident explained what happened in 2019. Vinson said police were examining whether there was a connection, but without knowing Ailea’s whereabouts, they could not confirm one.

Alicia Brown Is Arrested

The renewed attention around Ailea’s disappearance was followed by the most significant law enforcement action the case had seen publicly in years. On July 6, 2026, the Hart County Sheriff’s Office reportedly received a BOLO for a vehicle traveling north on Interstate 85 in Georgia. Deputies located the SUV near Exit 177 and, with assistance from Georgia State Patrol, conducted a felony traffic stop. Alicia Brown, then 37, was driving and was taken into custody without incident.

The Maryland warrant brought the arrest directly back to Ailea. Baltimore County Police said Brown was wanted on warrants stemming from the 2019 disappearance, while its Crimes Against Children Unit confirmed that charges had been filed and officials were working to have her extradited from Georgia. A separate Baltimore-area report identified the Baltimore County warrant as having been issued on June 30, only days before Brown was stopped. Authorities initially described the warrants publicly as kidnapping-related, although the complete charging documents and precise allegations against Brown were not immediately released.

A second warrant complicated the arrest. Hart County authorities learned that Brown was also wanted by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office on a felony interference-with-child-custody charge. That Georgia warrant was separate from the Maryland case involving Ailea. FOX 5 Atlanta later reported that the Fulton County charge was dismissed, a distinction that becomes particularly important in Brown’s subsequent lawsuit challenging her Georgia arrest.

The New Lawsuit: What Alicia Is Actually Suing Over

The federal case Alicia Brown has now brought against Fulton County concerns only one part of her July arrest. In a reported complaint dated August 14 and filed without an attorney, she sued Sheriff Patrick Labat and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. At the center of Brown’s argument is a June 24 protective order that she says granted her custody of her minor children less than two weeks before the Interstate 85 stop. S

he contends that order should have been considered before authorities sought or executed the Fulton County warrant. According to the complaint, the warrant was later recalled, and no prosecution followed. Brown alleges that being arrested on it violated her constitutional rights and caused financial losses, reputational harm, and separation from her children. She is seeking unspecified damages and a jury trial.

Brown is also asking the court to examine how the warrant was obtained and what role, if any, Big Tigger played in the events surrounding her arrest. Her complaint raises allegations about communications between Morgan, Labat, and members of the sheriff’s office, including whether Morgan shared information about her movements before she was stopped on I-85. She is seeking records that could show who was involved in obtaining the warrant and how authorities learned where she was traveling. None of Brown’s allegations of coordination between Morgan and Fulton County officials have been established in court.

The complaint also directly applies to Ailea’s case. FOX 5 Atlanta reported that Brown claims evidence exists placing Labat, Morgan, and Ailea at the same location on multiple occasions. She wants information about what the men may have known concerning her daughter’s whereabouts. Brown’s filing also acknowledges that no criminal court has found Morgan, Labat, or any sheriff’s office employee guilty of kidnapping, conspiracy, or concealing Ailea.

When FOX 5 previously pressed Brown separately about where Ailea might be, she declined to provide a location or a fuller explanation. She told the outlet there was more to the situation that she could not discuss and suggested that her daughter had escaped from difficult circumstances. That statement did not confirm that Ailea had been located.

Meanwhile, Brown may ultimately persuade a federal court that Fulton County mishandled the Georgia warrant, but that lawsuit does not erase the Maryland investigation. Ailea remains missing.

Durk is being tried alongside Deandre “DeDe” Wilson and David “Browneyez” Lindsey, two defendants prosecutors have tied to the alleged plot. All three have pleaded not guilty. Federal authorities accuse Durk of putting a bounty on Tyquian “Quando Rondo” Bowman in retaliation for the November 2020 killing of King Von. Timothy “Lul Tim” Leeks, an associate of Quando, shot Von during an altercation outside an Atlanta nightclub. The murder charge against Leeks was later dropped after Georgia prosecutors determined he acted in self-defense.

The government says that retaliation reached Los Angeles on August 19, 2022. Prosecutors allege members and associates of Only The Family tracked Quando before gunmen opened fire on his vehicle at a gas station near the Beverly Center. At least 18 shots were fired, according to federal authorities. Quando survived, but his cousin Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson was killed. Investigators contend Durk financed and directed the attack, pointing to travel arrangements, OTF-related money and communications they believe connect him to the men who traveled from Chicago to California.

Texts, Interviews, & Songs Submitted As Evidence

The case jurors will hear has been detailed considerably before anyone takes the witness stand. U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald has ruled on repeated efforts by Durk’s attorneys to suppress government evidence, while another major ruling kept newly added charges from expanding the August trial. In July, Fitzgerald agreed to sever two counts added through a broader indictment, allowing the Los Angeles murder-for-hire case to proceed on schedule rather than forcing the defense to prepare for substantially new allegations weeks before trial. Those severed charges remain pending and could be tried separately.

Jurors will still encounter a sizable collection of material prosecutors say helps establish motive and intent. Fitzgerald has allowed portions of music videos, podcast appearances, text messages, photographs from Durk’s iCloud account, and a 911 call connected to the shooting. The government can also introduce a 2021 DJ Akademiks interview in which 6ix9ine and Wack 100 criticized Durk for supposedly failing to retaliate over Von’s death. Prosecutors say a witness will testify that Durk was bothered by that perception. His defense has disputed the relevance of the interview and challenged the government’s attempts to treat music and public commentary as evidence of criminal intent.

Durk has remained in federal custody since his October 2024 arrest near Miami International Airport. Federal investigators said he had booked multiple international flights after learning several defendants had been arrested in the case. His attorneys have maintained his innocence and repeatedly pushed to bring the case before a jury. Once a jury is seated, prosecutors are expected to spend roughly 11 to 13 days presenting their case. Durk faces life in federal prison if convicted on the most serious charges.
