According to the report from The Jasmine Brand, the trial will begin around October 11, 2027. Furthermore, the trial is set to last a total of two weeks. As it stands, Jane Doe is suing Cardi for assault, battery, negligence, and emotional distress. Furthermore, a negligence claim has been made against Drai’s Management Group.

The judge in the case has made it crystal clear that if either side misses their hearing or court appointments, sanctions will be imposed.

Cardi B Mic Throwing Case Goes To Trial

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

For those who may have missed the initial story back in 2023, Cardi B threw the microphone at the fan after having water splashed on her at the show. Jane Doe claims Cardi was encouraging fans to splash water on her in an effort to keep her cool.

While Cardi does acknowledge this to be the case, she also claims that the request came two songs prior and that Doe continued to evade her personal space. Cardi was reportedly fed up with having water and ice thrown on her. At the time, she felt as though it was being done with malicious intent, and she threw the mic.

Ultimately, this is an ever-developing story that we will continue to keep an eye on from here on out.

Rocky kept it simple. Navy ALO zip-up jacket, white pants, Prada America’s Cup sneakers on his feet, and a black Chanel backpack slung over one shoulder. He was walking the streets of New York next to a Citi Bike rack looking like he had nowhere to be and all the time in the world to get there.

The Prada America’s Cup is the right call for a post-event city walk. It’s a classic technical sneaker that’s been part of Rocky’s rotation for years. Of course, Rocky’s been involved with Prada for years now, so the pairing continues to make sense.

The ALO jacket keeps the whole look athletic without going full athleisure. White pants clean it up. The Chanel bag is the luxury anchor that ties it all together.

There’s a version of this outfit that a lot of people could pull off. Then there’s Rocky’s version: blunt in hand, gold Chanel coin purse swinging from his fingers, walking through midtown like it’s nothing.

A$AP Rocky’s Post-Met Gala Outfit

The Prada America’s Cup sneaker has been in rotation for serious fashion people since the late 1990s. Originally designed for competitive sailing, the shoe crossed over into streetwear through its technical build.

It has a nylon and leather upper, chunky rubber sole, and clean branding that sits somewhere between sport and luxury. It’s the kind of shoe that works because it isn’t trying too hard.

ALO is a premium activewear brand known for clean, performance-influenced pieces that translate well into everyday wear. Rocky pairing ALO with Prada and Chanel is a casual luxury move that looks effortless but requires a specific understanding of how those pieces work together.

That understanding is exactly what separates his fits from everyone else’s.

As pointed out by All Hip Hop, Luda is the highest-selling solo Southern hip-hop artist of all time. In the US, he’s moved 15 million records. Across the globe, that number is upwards of 25 million. 

Outside of rap, Ludacris has cemented his name in acting and business, too. He’s appeared in critically acclaimed movies like Crash, Blockbuster franchises like Fast & Furious, and even animated TV shows like The Simpsons and Robot Chicken. 

In the past few months, Ludacris has also shown that he’s not completely done with music either. He’s released singles like “Pull Over” and “44 Bars,” and recently appeared alongside Teezo Touchdown on Mike WiLL Made-It on “D33P3R.”

Part of this settlement was a non-disparagement clause in which Tasha K was not allowed to talk about Cardi and her family. However, in court filings from earlier this week, Cardi alleged that the gossip blogger was speaking on Offset’s alleged gambling issues.

As a result of the violation, she was seeking financial sanctions and lawyers’ fees. According to an exclusive from AllHipHop, Cardi B got exactly what she wanted, with the judge ruling in her favor on Wednesday, May 6.

Tasha K Hit With Financial Sanctions

As per the report, Tasha K must pay attorney fees. Furthermore, she must take down any video she has made pertaining to Offset’s situation.

It is being said that Cardi B’s lawyer, Lisa Moore, is hoping for the court to award the rest of the initial $3.9 million following this latest violation. However, it is currently unclear whether or not that will be the case. At the very least, the content takedown and attorney’s fees are a strong warning to steer clear of Cardi in the future.

Be sure to let us know what you think about all of this in the comments section below. Additionally, we will continue to follow this developing story.

The “Double Nickel” gets its name from Michael Jordan’s legendary 55-point performance against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on March 28th, 1995. It was just his 5th game back from his first retirement.

MJ dropped 55 on the Knicks in the Air Jordan 10, wearing number 45 instead of his usual 23 during his comeback run. The shoe commemorates that exact moment, with “45” embroidered on the lateral ankle to mirror his jersey number that night.

Drummond wearing it at the same building, against the same franchise, in a playoff game is a detail that lands differently depending on how much you know about the shoe. Coincidence or not, it’s a very specific choice for a very specific venue.

The colorway runs on a white tumbled leather upper with a black tongue and midsole, red accents throughout, and MJ’s list of career accomplishments printed on the outsole. It’s a Chicago Bulls colorway down to the last detail.

The 76ers lost. MJ’s Bulls won that night. History doesn’t always repeat itself.

Andre Drummond’s Air Jordan 10 “Double Nickel”

The Air Jordan 10 “Double Nickel” first released in 2015 to mark the 20th anniversary of Jordan’s iconic MSG performance. The 2015 version is considered the most faithful retro of the original, featuring richer leather and a shape closer to the 1995 player exclusive than the earlier 2012 Chicago 10 retro.

The “45” collar embroidery is the key detail that separates it from other Chicago 10 releases. Without it, it’s just another Bulls-colored Jordan.

With it, the shoe carries a very specific game, a very specific night, and a very specific building attached to it. That building being MSG makes Drummond’s choice all the more notable.

Overall, this ranking has proven to be controversial. Some of the people on the list don’t even operate within hip-hop. Meanwhile, some of the inclusions actively make a mockery of the culture. There is a sense that the list was a bit tone deaf in certain places.

These debates have lasted a couple of days, and recently, Ebro himself weighed in on the debate. During an episode of The Ebro, Laura, & Rosenberg show, Ebro and Rosenberg had some interesting perspectives on the list.

Ebro notes that Akademiks is an “algorithm hustler” and that Complex‘s interview with him was a prime example of that. Interestingly enough, Ebro admitted that he is guilty of engaging in algo hustling, as well.

The Hip-Hop Media Debate Continues

Ebro and Rosenberg went on to congratulate the real journalists who made their way onto the list. Names like Pierre, Frazier Tharpe, Elliott Wilson, and Rob Markman were solid shoutouts. For those who may not know, Pierre is a writer for Pitchfork, known for his sharply written reviews. He is also known for highlighting obscure artists and subgenres within hip-hop.

Meanwhile, Tharpe is doing his thing at GQ. Elliott Wilson is a legend of the industry, and Markman continues to be someone delivering level-headed commentary on the latest news in hip-hop.

Unfortunately, people like N3on got ranked above the majority of the journalists we just mentioned. It just goes to show that being unlikable on a live stream can actually carry you farther than you might think.

With that being said, there are still numerous mysteries concerning the album. For instance, no one knows for sure who will be featured. Subsequently, we don’t even know if there is going to be a lead single. We don’t even have so much as the cover art right now.

However, what we do know is that Drake has been filming a music video in Toronto over the past few weeks. He has been spotted at some big-time Toronto landmarks, and there were even rumblings of a CN Tower shoot.

Now, a report from We Love Hip Hop Network is suggesting that Drake’s latest music video is for a song with Lil Baby. The anonymous source wouldn’t say too much, but they seem confident about the Baby angle.

Drake Prepares ICEMAN

Earlier this week, we reported on Lil Baby pledging his allegiance to Drake. It made for some humorous reactions over on social media. Having said that, it appears clear to us that Lil Baby and Drake’s working relationship is still very much intact.

Baby has given Drake some incredible verses over the past few years. While his solo work has received some criticism for being too homogenous as of late, there is no doubt that he can put in a good verse when needed.

At this time, there is no 100 percent guarantee that Lil Baby will make the album. However, everything we have seen so far suggests it is at least possible. In eight days from now, the album will arrive, and only then will we know for sure who made the cut.

This ultimately warranted a new response from Young Thug himself, who tried to clear the air on how his issues with Rich Homie Quan escalated. “Quan went against me my n***a how was it my pride? If you hoie do some bullsh*t towards u u suppose to reach out first,” Young Thug wrote. In separate post, he shared more depth to their issues and how it actually impacted his relationship with YFN Lucci. 

“I didn’t f*ck with Lucci ‘cause Quan didn’t. He felt like Lucci did a song with a n***a that dissed him on the song. Wasn’t my problem but was my brada so I was with him, then he stop f*cking with me cause he thought he was bigger along [which] I had no problem with but now yall p***ies wanna post about a real n***a to Quan,” he said in a separate post.

“He put me on a diss song? I thought it was going to be a regular, a hot record,” Whoo Kid said. “But then he [dropped] ‘Drop and Give Me 50,’ he did the whole G-Unit, like the whole aura, the whole energy, and then he leaked it. I’m like, yo, why is like Lucian Grainge calling my phone? Like, that’s when I was like, ‘Woah, woah.’ Nah, no Illuminati’s going to be calling me. I don’t know how they got my number. I was like ‘bruh, I did not leak this sh*t.’“

What’s interesting is that various pro-Drake X accounts highlighted a particular part of Lucian Grainge’s alleged response to Drake’s lawsuit, where he said that his focus at UMG is on creating a global strategy to shape UMG’s future. “In light of this responsibility, the proposition that I am in the weeds as to the release and promotion of any particular sound recording, from the thousands of UMG releases throughout the world, is farcical,” it reads. It should be noted that whatever DJ Whoo Kid said in this particular interview hasn’t been vetted or verified.

Whoo Kid Claims Hip-Hop Is Suffering On The Charts Without Drake

Elsewhere in the interview, Whoo Kid explained how he felt that Kendrick only had a “moment” during the rap beef, from the success of “Not Like Us” and the Super Bowl while Drake’s absence has harmed hip-hop’s dominance on the charts. With ICEMAN on the way, it will be the ultimate test to see whether Drake’s commercial presence stands as strong as it once as before the beef. Check out Whoo Kid’s comments above.
