Bay Area standout Yatta Bandz returns with “Out Of Time,” the latest single from his upcoming album One & The Same, arriving July 24 via EMPIRE. Built around atmospheric production and a melodic delivery, the track explores the painful realization that love doesn’t always survive, even when both people want it to. Yatta leans into themes of regret, unanswered questions, and trying to salvage a relationship that’s slipping away, continuing the vulnerable songwriting that’s become a hallmark of his music. The release feels deeply personal but Yatta makes the listener relate to every word.

Release Date: July 10, 2026
Album: One & The Same

Quotable Lyrics

Baby I just wanna make it right with you
Couldn’t get it right and then you left

Viral Meagan Good Pregnancy Photo Turns Out To Be AI Fake

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 04:14:00 +0000

Meagan Good is not expecting a child, despite what social media may have led fans to believe. According to TMZ, the actress is shutting down online pregnancy rumors after an AI-generated image falsely depicting her with a baby bump began circulating across the internet. Sources told the outlet the viral photo was digitally altered from an original paparazzi image taken in 2015.

The manipulated image quickly fueled speculation that Good and her husband, Jonathan Majors, were expecting their first child together. However, insiders say there’s no truth to the rumors, confirming the actress is not pregnant.

The original photo also showed Good holding both a phone and a vape. While that detail remained in the altered version, sources noted she no longer vapes and wouldn’t do so if she were expecting, further highlighting the image’s lack of authenticity.

The incident adds to the growing wave of AI-generated celebrity hoaxes spreading across social media. As artificial intelligence tools become more sophisticated, digitally altered images have increasingly blurred the line between fact and fiction. Now we’re seeing that result in real time. Public figures are being forced to address rumors they never started.

For now, fans can put the speculation to rest. The viral baby bump photo is fake, and Meagan Good’s representatives have made it clear that the internet got this one wrong.

Despite the continued scrutiny surrounding their relationship, Good has remained publicly supportive of Majors throughout his legal troubles, and the couple has continued to embrace a new chapter together.

50 Cent Loses Bid To Quickly Win Lawsuit Against Ex Shaniqua Tompkins

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 03:22:36 +0000

50 Cent has hit a setback in his ongoing legal battle with ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins.

According to Billboard, a New York appeals court has denied the rapper’s attempt to secure a default judgment in his lawsuit against Tompkins after she allegedly failed to respond to the complaint in time. The court ruled on Thursday (July 9) that there wasn’t enough evidence to show Tompkins had even been properly served with the lawsuit in the first place.

“The defendant’s excuse for the delay in responding — that she did not receive the summons and complaint — was reasonable,” the court wrote. They noted that 50 Cent failed to prove she lived at any of the addresses where service had been attempted.

The lawsuit was filed by 50 Cent’s publishing company, G-Unit Books, in 2025 after Tompkins posted a series of Instagram videos discussing Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal criminal trial. In the clips, Tompkins also spoke about 50 Cent’s infamous 2000 shooting and his long-running history with Diddy.

The rapper claims those videos violated a 2007 agreement in which Tompkins allegedly sold him the exclusive rights to her life story in perpetuity. Tompkins, however, has challenged the validity of that agreement. She is arguing through her attorneys that she signed it under coercion and intimidation.

The Court Deemed Her Delay Reasonable

50 Cent Loses at Appeals Court in Lawsuit Against Ex-Girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins Over IG Postshttps://t.co/jbm6AsawVk
— billboard (@billboard) July 9, 2026

Last month, 50 Cent’s legal team urged the appeals court to rule in their favor by default because of Tompkins’ delayed response. During oral arguments, however, judges appeared skeptical of that request, questioning whether she had ever received notice of the lawsuit.

With the appeals court rejecting the motion, the case will now continue through the normal legal process. Rather than ending in an early victory for 50 Cent. The ruling does not determine whether the 2007 agreement is enforceable or whether Tompkins ultimately violated its terms. Those issues are now to be decided as the litigation moves forward.

50 Cent’s company allegedly paid Shaniqua Tompkins $80,000 for the exclusive rights to her life story. He claims the deal was intended to prevent her from profiting off their shared history. It remains to be seen how things will play out in court.

“We have considered plaintiff’s remaining contentions and find them unavailing,” the court explained.

A New Fragment x Travis Scott Sample Just Surfaced

Ben Atkinson — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 03:04:00 +0000

New in-hand photos are giving a closer look at another Fragment x Travis Scott collaboration. This pair reworks the Air Jordan 1 Low in a “Royal” inspired scheme. A black leather base covers most of the upper structure.

Bright blue accents show up across the toe box, swoosh, and heel. The reversed swoosh continues, a detail tied to Travis Scott’s past releases. One shoe carries fragment’s signature branding near the heel. The other features Cactus Jack detailing instead, splitting the pair’s identity.

An aged, off-white midsole adds a worn-in look, similar to past Travis Scott pairs. A blue outsole finishes off the design underneath. Small text stamped on the midsole reads “FA27.” That detail has sparked early speculation about a fall 2027 release.

Nothing has been confirmed yet by Jordan Brand, Travis Scott, or fragment. Hiroshi Fujiwara previously teased a separate navy version of this same collaboration. A similar design also appeared earlier inside Fujiwara’s own Fragment magazine.

This newest sample adds another version into that ongoing rotation of ideas. It suggests several concepts may still be getting tested. For now, there’s no confirmed release date attached to this pair. Fans will likely see more samples before anything becomes official.

Fragment and Travis Scott have collaborated on the Air Jordan 1 Low before. Their original pairing released back in 2021 in a similar color scheme. That version leaned more toward white leather with black and blue overlays.

This newer sample flips that formula, using black as the dominant base color. The reversed swoosh remains a constant across every version shown so far. It’s become one of the clearest signatures tied to Travis Scott’s Jordan releases.

Fragment’s contribution shows up mainly through heel branding and stamped midsole text. Since multiple samples have surfaced recently, a final retail version isn’t locked in yet. That makes any 2027 timeline more of an early guess than a confirmed date.
