The chain is a detailed, three-dimensional piece rather than a flat pendant. Early production photos showed the figure broken down into individual components before assembly, giving a closer look at how the piece was constructed.

The finished version shows a diamond-encrusted figure hanging from a diamond tennis chain. The level of detail in the pendant is visible in the close-up photos that were shared alongside the finished piece.

Chalamet has been a visible presence at Knicks games throughout the postseason. His appearances at Madison Square Garden have generated consistent coverage across sports and entertainment media. The chain added another layer of attention to his Game 1 appearance.

The Crown Collection is a jewelry brand that has produced custom pieces for various celebrities and athletes. The Marty Supreme connects the chain directly to Chalamet’s current cultural moment.

Timothee Chalamet Marty Supreme Chain

The Crown Collection has built a reputation for detailed custom jewelry work over the years. Their pieces tend to lean toward these pendants with high levels of craftsmanship.

Also the figure itself mirrors the classic Jumpman silhouette closely, which connects the piece to Jordan Brand iconography without being an official product. Chalamet’s film “Marty Supreme” released earlier this year and centered on competitive ping pong at the highest level.

The chain draws a direct line between his film work and his presence at the Knicks games during the Finals run. Finally the Crown Collection confirmed their involvement by being credited in the posts that shared images of the finished piece.

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” is going to drop on July 18th, 2026.

The colorway features a white tumbled leather upper as its base. True Blue hits the eyelets, lace tips, midsole, and Nike Air branding on the heel, giving the shoe its name.

Grey elephant print overlays appear on the toe box and heel in the standard AJ3 placement. Red accents show up on the Jumpman logo on the tongue and the three dots on the ankle, adding a third color to the palette.

The Nike Air heel branding is present on this version, which has been a big point of discussion across recent AJ3 retros. Collectors have paid particular attention to whether that detail appears on each new release of the silhouette.

The “True Blue” name has history with the Air Jordan 3. Previous versions of this colorway have released over the years, making this another chapter in a longer retro cycle. A July release would put it on shelves relatively soon based on current reports.

Air Jordan 3 “True Blue”

The Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” colorway has appeared in various forms across multiple retro cycles. The combination of white leather, true blue accents, and grey elephant print is one of the more recognizable makeups on the silhouette.

This version appears to restore the Nike Air branding on the heel. It continues a trend seen in recent AJ3 retros that has drawn attention from collectors who prefer that detail over the Jumpman heel logo used in earlier retros.

The red accents on the tongue and ankle keep the shoe from reading as too simple despite the relatively clean base. True Blue as a color sits between royal and carolina blue, which gives the shoe a distinct look compared to other blue-accented AJ3 releases.

A July release would make this one of the more prominent Jordan Brand drops of the summer period.

In a clip caught by JBTV Community on Twitter, Budden expressed how the Drizzy diss bothers him because “we all looked up to [Hov],” making Jay’s affirmation that he “never looked up to” the 6ix God more of an agreed-upon assumption than an insult. He found it unnecessary, but Emanny brought up how The Boy rapped about taking the $500K over a dinner with Hov. As such, he believes Jay was defending the notion that people would take the dinner, and Ice posited that there’s more to that line.

More specifically, he pointed to Drake surpassing Jay-Z’s Billboard record, theorizing that the former was “looking up” at the latter in that specific aspect, whereas the Roc Nation mogul is on another level. “[Drake] cared about the number ones, [Jay-Z’s] up ten. I’m still up from where you at,” Ice remarked.

On the other hand, Joe Budden took issue with Jay downplaying the OVO mogul’s success. But Emanny pointed out how Budden has looked down on podcasters he sees beneath him, such as the Rory and Mal fallout. “I wouldn’t do it if I was a billionaire,” Joe clapped back.

Joe Budden’s Reaction To Jay-Z

Previously, Joe Budden criticized Jay-Z’s freestyle disses because he felt like they were beneath him. As one of the biggest rappers ever with billionaire status, Budden didn’t want to see Jay in this more petty and combative position. Also, he pointed out how Hov previously criticized battling in today’s culture during his GQ interview, finding this to be a hypocritical change.

Considering the Joe Budden and Drake beef, many JBP fans will likely express surprise at this assessment. But we’ll see if there is anything more to this story moving forward. After all, some fans expect a Drizzy response, whereas others think Jay will keep this energy on a new album.

Yesterday (Thursday, June 4), prosecutors reportedly filed a third superseding indictment against The Voice in California. It added the additional charges of conspiracy to commit stalking and murder in aid of racketeering.

The music video in question is reportedly an unreleased visual for the song “Redman” that allegedly shows Durk shooting and killing a Rondo lookalike. As for the alleged Von statement, this came from an alleged text message of Smurk’s prosecutors also included in the indictment.

“This indictment is lipstick on a pig,” Lil Durk’s legal team stated. “For nearly two years now, federal prosecutors have desperately tried to fend off challenges to a very weak case. Now, just two months before trial, a trial that Durk Banks has demanded at every turn, they pull this pathetic pivot, recycling old accusations into a scrambling prosecutor’s back-up plan: allege racketeering and as many unrelated false claims as possible. This is not a sign of strength. It’s an acknowledgment of weakness. The fact remains: Durk Banks is innocent, no matter how many indictments they want to throw at him.”

When Is Lil Durk’s Trial?

Prosecutors are accusing Lil Durk of ordering a hit on Quando Rondo back in 2022. This was in alleged retaliation for the murder of King Von in 2020, whose murderer was allegedly Quando affiliate Lul Tim.

Federal authorities claim Durk paid five men to travel to Los Angeles and murder Rondo. A shooting against him that year in L.A. resulted in the death of Quando’s cousin Lul Pab. All six codefendants pleaded not guilty and await a scheduled trial start date of August 20.

Throughout it all, Lil Durk is trying to stay positive. His mother recently said he’s “doing pretty good” in prison and cut off his locks ahead of the trial.

KicksFinder reports that the Jalen Brunson x Nike Kobe 5 Protro PE “NY vs. NY” is going to release on July 1st, 2026.

The colorway is built around a mint green base with blue and orange detailing throughout. The blue and orange combination connects directly to the New York Knicks color scheme. The “NY vs. NY” name references the Knicks and Nets sharing the same city, which gives the shoe a local New York narrative. The overall look is relatively bold compared to standard Kobe 5 Protro colorways.

Brunson has been one of the more prominent players in the NBA this season and led the Knicks deep into the playoffs. His visibility during the postseason put the shoe in front of a large audience before any release details were confirmed. Nike has been releasing a steady stream of Kobe 5 Protro colorways over the past couple of years.

A PE release like this one follows a fairly standard path. If the Knicks are able to close this season out with a Final win, the shoe will only be a bigger deal.

Jalen Brunson x Nike Kobe 5 Protro PE “NY vs. NY”

The Nike Kobe 5 Protro is a updated version of Kobe Bryant’s fifth signature shoe, which originally released in 2009. Nike has been bringing back various Kobe 5 colorways and player exclusives with regularity since reintroducing the Protro line.

Player exclusive versions tied to current NBA stars have become a consistent part of that rollout. Brunson wearing a PE during the playoffs is a familiar format for how these shoes tend to get introduced publicly.

The Knicks color scheme fits naturally onto the Kobe 5 Protro shape, and the mint green base gives the shoe a distinct look within the broader Kobe 5 catalog. The “NY vs. NY” name adds a narrative layer that connects the shoe to a specific rivalry and city identity.

In a clip from the altercation caught by No Jumper on Instagram, you can see Ray approach Symba while Adrien tried to push him away, and Symba tried to get closer to him. “Don’t get r**ed tonight,” Ray barked at him while security stepped in. Deen questioned what the fight was about, and folks in the vicinity looked around and tried to calm things down. “You’s a c**k-sucker, n***a,” Ray exclaimed. “I want to kill him with kindness,” he told Broner.

Then, Symba left the house, and later on, while they were both in the house, they talked about taking their issues outside. Symba called him a “sucker” and said he isn’t worried about him, seemingly taunting Ray J for ducking smoke. Deen The Great encouraged folks to crash out if it was necessary.

Things got more tense with security and a few other individuals, with onlookers telling everyone to relax. Later on, Deen asked what happened between them, and apparently Ray said some disrespectful things to Symba that led things to heat up.

Ray J & Symba Fight

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

We will see if this conflict between Ray J and Symba gets another chapter or if this was just a one-off confrontation. They hurled insults at each other and seemed ready to throw down, so maybe they will have more exchanges online or in person. Fans hope things don’t go farther than this.

Elsewhere, Ray J is dealing with his boxing fallout, as his unsuccessful match with Supa Hot Fire is still under investigation. He’s angry with Adin Ross and his Brand Risk company for how they have handled the whole situation.

Meanwhile, for frequent viewers of Deen The Great’s livestreams with Adrien Broner and others, this ruckus should come as no surprise. They and others often get into antics and confrontations while streaming, and we can only wonder what will happen next.

As caught by keep6ixsolid on Twitter, Amir Ali reportedly got in contact with the 54-year-old icon, who spoke about getting a bag from the OVO mogul. According to K-OS, The Boy basically said, “I’m going to give you this money to go make a record. But please make a K-OS record.”

“Sometimes it takes your younger brother or someone who was witnessing you more in that stage of, ‘Oh my God, you’re amazing,’ for them to point out things you were doing that you forgot about,” the Toronto native reportedly added. As far as a release timeline or other details, fans are still pretty in the dark.

For those unaware, Drake and K-OS have various collabs. They specifically worked together on the latter’s “Faith” part one and two tracks in the early 2010s. Beyond that, they have shown each other a lot of creative and financial support and admiration, a dynamic that will hopefully yield even more great music coming soon.

Drake’s Toronto Ties

Funnily enough, though, Drake’s relationship to Toronto recently came under fire. Or rather, The Breakfast Club had an unexpected moment with a female caller from the city who claimed he’s never done anything for it.

“He’s not as popular as y’all think, by the way,” the woman expressed, which TBC pushed back on. “Not everybody in Toronto loves that man as much as everybody says. If you actually Google him, he’s never done anything for Toronto.”

Of course, celebrities as big as the Toronto superstar get hate even from their hometown. But in the same way, folks can’t deny how he championed his city and continues to do great things for it, even with some alleged asterisks.

Even Toronto’s Mayor Olivia Chow is a Drake fan, so even the government is behind his work. Now, he can repay a legend like K-OS’ influence by helping him with his next adventure, and so Toronto hip-hop can remain on the map.

As caught by 6ixBuzzTV on Twitter, Charlamagne Tha God joked that someone from OVO may have made a call to get them off the air once they started speaking about Drake. “He’s not as popular as y’all think, by the way. Just to let you all know,” the female caller expressed.

TBC pushed back, pointing to the OVO mogul’s commercial success. “I’m a hater, but I can’t lie,” Charlamagne joked.

“No, no, listen. In Toronto, he’s not as big as you guys think he is,” the woman continued. “Not everybody in Toronto loves that man as much as everybody says. If you actually Google him, he’s never done anything for Toronto. He’s never donated money to a hospital, he’s never helped the homeless, he’s never helped the poverty school. He’s never done anything for Toronto. Except at a basketball game. If you actually look it up.”

The cohosts refrained from chiming in too hard, as they are not from Toronto. But we’re sure plenty of locals will have a lot to say, as they are already debating online.

Toronto Mayor Praises Drake

This is also a pretty ironic conversation given recent remarks about Drake from Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. “Thank you my crodi Crolivia Chow! ICEMAN 2026,” he wrote in a notepad. The Toronto superstar had filmed parts of his ICEMAN livestream at Chow’s office.

“Drake has done so much for the city,” she said of him during a broadcast interview with CityNews. “The world was watching, and he’s making us proud… Think about how many people, outside Toronto, are watching [the ICEMAN rollout]. It’s a promotion for the city and his music. It’s not just Canadians, it’s worldwide.”

Elsewhere, Drake’s Toronto connection comes up in other ways. DJ Akademiks recently peddled the idea that Kendrick Lamar sent police to his house during Kendrick’s Toronto concert.

Miami recently revealed that she attempted to get Drake to jump on her song, “Take Me To Chanel” during an appearance on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday podcast.

“​​I was trying to get Drake… on the song,” the “Spend Dat” rapper said during the interview. “Like, I remember DMing him, but that’s at the time when he was going through all his shit. And when people are going through their shit, like, I get it. I understand. It’s just like, ‘I gotta focus on me right now,’ because these people trying to take me out. I can understand that, so I didn’t take it personally.”

Drake didn’t flat out ignore her, though. He just didn’t respond in the way she wanted. 

“I was like, Drake, I think you would sound good on ‘Take Me to Chanel,’” she remembered telling him in the message. “ He just liked the message. I’m like, come on now, don’t do that, Drake. Don’t do that now. Because, when you called me, I was there. But nah, I fuck with Drake. I understand.”

“I really get under skin, ask Un how I’m playing,” he rapped last weekend, presumably against Kanye West. In response, Dame told his understanding of that infamous story, claiming it was over Biggie’s girlfriend Charli Baltimore. Jay and Un allegedly got with Baltimore following Big’s death, and Dash claims this is the root of the 1999 incident.

“Is that not the corniest s**t in the world?” Dame Dash asked. “Of all the things to stab a n***a over, over Biggie’s girl is crazy. And I had to deal with this dumb s**t. My crew was like, ‘Yo, these n***as is corny.’ It was a lot of other bulls**t behind it. But it’s corny… Is that not scumbag s**t? You’re a fan of a n***a that would f**k his best friend’s girl when he dies? This is your mans. Go ask Un. They was both hitting it, pillow-talking to each other. It was so corny… After we just did “Hard Knock Life.” That’s corny, right? It looks like a guy with a stupid afro and no mustache when he’s 60 would do some dumb s**t like that. That’s exactly the type of s**t this dude used to do. And I used to have to still pretend he was cool.”

Charli Baltimore Speaks Out

For those unaware, the story of Jay-Z and Lance “Un” Rivera is the subject of heated debate. One possible explanation is this Charli Baltimore connection, whereas another is that Jay was angry with Un for allegedly bootlegging his Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter album for sale before its official release.

Charli Baltimore claimed in the past that Un has changed his story a lot over time, at some points claiming it wasn’t Hov who stabbed him. We will see if she reacts to these recent heated discussions about the infamous 1999 confrontation.
