Quotable Lyrics from 2012

Bullet in my neck, paralysed my face, bells palsy
Baby mom went through my phone, she seen Chanel calling
Screaming on me, downstair neighbours calling 12 on me
Used to serve ’em off the porch, I kept my scale on me

While Joe Budden still appears to have smoke for Mal, he has floated the idea of bringing Farrell back on the show. Budden even showed support to his former co-host when he suffered a stroke while out at the Jay-Z pop-up in Brooklyn.

However, Farrell appears to have issues with QueenzFlip, who is one of the newer co-hosts on Budden’s podcast. When QueenzFlip first got to the Joe Budden Podcast, he would call Rory and Mal “suckers.” Well, Farrell never forgot that, and he made sure to let Flip know.

During what appears to be a QueenzFlip livestream from inside the club, Rory walks into the frame and continuously asks, “we were suckers right?” Flip appeared confused at first, and when Farrell walked away, he decided to go back over and continue the confrontation.

Rory Farrell & QueenzFlip Hash It Out

Flip didn’t really have an answer for Farrell, although eventually, the camera turned away and the clip cut off. It is unclear how the argument ended, or if both parties were eventually able to resolve their issue.

If one thing is for certain, it is that Joe Budden is going to want to talk about this on the next episode of his podcast. This kind of interpersonal beef is the kind of stuff he lives for.

Meanwhile, Farrell will potentially discuss it on New Rory & Mal. We imagine Mal is proud of his friend for sticking up for him, especially when he could have chosen to leave it alone.

Subsequently, Cardi and Okoye were seen outside of the event, and it appeared as though they were flirting with one another. This then led to dating rumors, with Okoye’s exes coming out of the woodwork to declare him a cheater.

Since that time, updates surrounding Cardi B and Okoye have been few and far between. It would have been easy to assume whatever they had going on had fizzled out, and now, they were simply doing their own thing. However, that all changed this week as Livebitez posted a photo of Cardi B and Okoye in Italy together.

Once again, there is very little information surrounding this alleged relationship. Cardi B has not confirmed anything, and neither has Okoye. Instead, the two continue to be spotted together, and all fans can do is speculate on what’s going on here.

Interestingly enough, just last week, Cardi B went on a rant about Offset and how she has no intention of ever sleeping with him again. These comments came after some blogs on Twitter ran with the idea that she was secretly sleeping with her ex-husband.

As for Okoye, he has remained quiet throughout this entire process. He understands that Cardi B is a big star, and he doesn’t appear interested in getting involved in the social media mess of it all.

Recently, Fletcher revealed that she and MoneyBagg Yo were planning on getting married. She had even set a tentative date of 2027 for the two to tie the knot. However, it now appears as though they have opted to speed up the process and get married now.

On Instagram, Fletcher posted a set of images, with the first showcasing her and MoneyBagg Yo in traditional Muslim clothing. According to The Shade Room, all of this confirms that the two have actually gotten married. Meanwhile, the two were also in Las Vegas to celebrate MoneyBagg’s birthday as he turns 35.

“In every lifetime, I’d find you. Happy birthday my love,” Fletcher wrote on Instagram. This was subsequently followed up with various nice messages from friends and fans. Many said the couple looked great, while others congratulated them on their marriage.

The couple is clearly feeling the love right now, and it’s always nice to see these relationships survive the internet age. With rumors and gossip spreading everywhere, sometimes couples aren’t able to make it through the fire. That has certainly not been the case with these two.

In the midst of this, we patiently await some new music from MoneyBagg Yo, who has consistently been one of Memphis’ best artists over the last decade. Perhaps his newfound marriage could inspire him to get in the studio and give us a new project.

As for Lil Durk, he is still behind bars as he faces another trial, this time for the VICAR charge, which alleges he ran a criminal enterprise. This trial was supposed to begin in a couple of weeks from now. However, the prosecution simply isn’t ready yet, and the trial has subsequently been delayed.

Durk is set to undergo a bond hearing on November 5, and it is here that he will find out if he can at least be released from jail until his trial takes place. Meanwhile, commentators like DJ Akademiks have predicted that he won’t get bond, while Bradford Cohen believes he will.

Speaking of Akademiks, during a livestream last night, the commentator said that he believes the feds are working extra hard on this VICAR case. Ak suggests that they are upset with losing the murder-for-hire case, and at least want Durk to spend 10 years in prison.

DJ Akademiks Weighs In On Lil Durk’s Second Trial

He even went so far as to say that the authorities are “scrambling and scraping” in order to get the case as airtight as possible. At this time, the prosecution has not let on to its legal strategy in this upcoming trial. Moreover, there is no concrete date yet, which has certainly created some uncertainty.

The VICAR charge also comes with a lengthy prison sentence, which means Durk’s legal defense will need to be just as stout as it was a few weeks ago. There are no guarantees, and the artist’s life is very clearly at stake.

This is a developing story that we will be sure to keep you updated on.

Black covers most of the upper, paired with a bright blue toe box and heel panel. A white Swoosh cuts through the design in Travis Scott’s signature reversed look, and it’s over “Cactus Jack/Fragment” text along the sides. Also a cream midsole and matching blue outsole round out the build.

This isn’t the same colorway from the original 2021 release. That version leaned on a lighter Sail and vibrant blue color-blocking, making this new pair a clear change in tone.

Fujiwara wore the shoes casually while out in public, pairing them with an all-black outfit rather than treating the moment like a formal reveal. That minimal approach fits his usual style of dropping sneaker news without much fanfare at all.

No release details have surfaced for this specific colorway yet. Given Fujiwara’s history of casually debuting rare samples, it’s unclear whether this stays a personal exclusive or eventually reaches retail.

Fragment x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Sample

The original Travis Scott x Fragment Air Jordan 1 collection dropped back in 2021, following an Air Jordan 1 High release earlier that same summer. Both pairs quickly became some of the most sought-after Jordan 1 releases in recent memory.

That three-way partnership blended Fujiwara’s minimalist design language with Travis Scott’s more disruptive, deconstructed style. The result became an instant grail among collectors, still commanding high resale prices years later.

Fujiwara has continued teasing potential follow-ups since then, occasionally surfacing in unreleased samples tied to the same collaboration. Each sighting reignites conversation around whether a true sequel is actually coming.

For now, fans will have to settle for photos like this one. Given the demand surrounding the original release, any confirmed follow-up would likely become one of the year’s biggest sneaker stories.

Rolling Stone reports that Khorram is working on the 56-date R&B Tour, although her exact position has not been disclosed. A representative for Usher declined to comment on the arrangement, while Khorram’s representative did not respond to the outlet.

She is not the only former Combs employee to land with Usher. Rolling Stone found that a videographer who had been working on a Diddy documentary before his 2024 arrest has also joined the tour. Another former personal assistant briefly worked with Usher’s camp but has since parted ways with the singer.

Khorram Became A Major Figure In Diddy’s Criminal Trial

Prosecutors repeatedly referenced Khorram while building their racketeering case against Combs, describing her as an “agent and co-conspirator.” They alleged she helped coordinate his sexual encounters with male escorts and was involved in efforts to obtain hotel surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura in 2016. Khorram was never charged with a crime and was not called to testify.

She previously denied allegations that she enabled sexual abuse. “The idea that I could be accused of playing a role in — or even being a bystander to — the rape of anyone is beyond upsetting,” she said in a statement cited by Rolling Stone. Combs was ultimately acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, but convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He is serving a 50-month sentence.

Usher’s history with Combs stretches back to his teenage years, when the future R&B star spent time around Bad Boy while recording his 1994 debut. Earlier this year, Usher told Forbes that he had nothing “negative” to say about his former mentor and still recognized the impact of Combs’ work in music and Black entrepreneurship. With Khorram now working inside Usher’s touring operation, that decades-old connection has taken on a new form.

According to Sky, director Marian Mohamed filmed with members of the Shakur family as the Las Vegas case unfolded. The project will include personal footage that has not previously been released, along with photographs from the family archive. Sky plans to premiere the documentary on Sky Documentaries and NOW in 2027.

Mohamed said she wants the film to give Tupac’s relatives room to speak beyond the grief that has defined much of the public conversation around his death. Rather than treating the trial as the entire story, the director intends to use the case as a way into Tupac’s life and the people who knew him before his murder.

The documentary arrives after a Clark County jury convicted Keefe D of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon on Aug. 31. Prosecutors argued that he helped organize the September 1996 attack after Tupac and members of his entourage assaulted Orlando Anderson, Keefe D’s nephew, at the MGM Grand. Keefe D was not accused of firing the fatal shots. Reuters reported that jurors deliberated for roughly three hours before returning the guilty verdict.

Another Film Has Been Following Keefe D’s Side

Sky’s project is separate from a documentary previously connected to Keefe D and his defense team. AllHipHop reported that the earlier production was built around access to Keefe D and his family, while the newly announced film is being told through the Shakur family and people from Tupac’s inner circle.

That distinction gives the Sky documentary a different vantage point on a case that has generated competing narratives for decades. Passion Pictures is producing the feature, with Propagate Content and West Buttermilk also involved. A U.S. distributor has not been announced.

Meanwhile, sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 13, and Sky says its cameras will follow the case through that proceeding. Keefe D has indicated that he plans to appeal his conviction. The documentary does not yet have a title or exact 2027 release date.

Legal documents reviewed by TMZ show Ye’s team asking to move the Oct. 12 trial to May 17, 2027, or another date the judge finds workable. The filing accuses Provo and his attorney of causing delays during discovery. Ye is also seeking sanctions against them. His lawyers say the current date conflicts with planned performances in Russia on Oct. 10 and 11. Those concerts are not locked in, however. TMZ reports that St. Petersburg’s Gazprom Arena backed out as the planned venue last month, leaving the promoter searching for another location.

The filing also points to Yiannopoulos, a former Yeezy chief of staff whom Ye’s attorneys describe as one of the people most familiar with the allegations. They argue that his recent deportation by U.S. immigration authorities complicates preparations for trial.

Provo Says He Was Fired After Refusing To Cut His Dreadlocks

The underlying lawsuit stems from Provo’s time working security at Donda Academy. According to a broader examination of the school by the Los Angeles Times, Provo alleges that Ye treated Black employees less favorably and objected to books about prominent Black figures. He also claims Ye demanded that he cut his dreadlocks, which Provo says carried religious significance for him.

Provo alleges he lost his job after refusing. Ye and the other defendants have denied the claims in court filings. For now, the Oct. 12 trial date remains in place. The judge has not yet ruled on Ye’s request to move the case to May 2027.
