“I respect you as a businessman, I respect you as a man, and I respect you for what you’ve done for n***as,” he explained. “But I don’t know nothing about no gangster sh*t. I don’t know nothing about that. I’m a n***a that you’ve got to show me that.”

Maino said something similar during a recent interview with VladTV. At one point in the interview, he questioned Vlad’s claim that 50 had “real, serious street beef with a lot of very serious guys.”

Maino 50 Cent Diss Track

Their feud was ignited in December after Maino and his podcast co-hosts shared their unfiltered takes on Fif’s Diddy docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. Jim Jones dubbed it a “mockumentary,” prompting a fiery response.

The mogul proceeded to accuse the podcasters of owing thousands in back rent on their podcast studio. He even shared security footage of Jones trying to bust down a door after the locks were allegedly changed. The back and forth went on for a while. Earlier this month, Maino went after 50 Cent in a scathing diss track called “Bleed Like Us.”

“Be careful when you come at me, n***a, you couldn’t humble me / Why the ones you beef with end up in fed custody? / 50 ways to catch a killer, is that your energy? / Only Black men, no white men, is your enemy?” he raps. “Only white kids in the ‘burbs thought you was gangsta / We f*cked with you ’cause of your story, thought you was like us / Just to find out this whole time you was the wanksta.”

In the wake of the raid, in which police found no evidence of criminal conduct, he used security camera footage of the incident to make a music video for a song titled, “Lemon Pound Cake.” He also targeted Adams County Deputy Sheriff Lisa Phillips specifically, with a video titled, “Licc’em Low Lisa.” In one clip from Tuesday’s hearing, Phillips breaks into tears while watching the video.

Why Is Afroman In Court?

All-in-all, four deputies, two sergeants, and a detective have sued Afroman for allegedly profiting off their likeness. They are seeking to obtain his song revenue, music videos, merchandise sales, and concert tickets. They had a probable cause warrant to raid Aftroman’s home for narcotics and kidnapping, but found no evidence of criminal activity.

Afroman arrived at the hearing wearing an American-flag-style suit and defended his actions. “All of this is their fault,” Afroman said of the case as a whole. “If they hadn’t wrongly raided my house, there would be no lawsuit, I would not know their names, they wouldn’t be on my home surveillance system, and there would be no songs … my money would still be intact.”

Afroman previously discussed his decision to troll the officers during an interview with NPR. “I asked myself, as a powerless Black man in America, what can I do to the cops that kicked my door in, tried to kill me in front of my kids, stole my money and disconnected my cameras?” he told the outlet. “And the only thing I could come up with was make a funny rap song about them and make some money, use the money to pay for the damages they did and move on.”

Unsurprisingly, Fif seems pretty pleased about all of this. “New charges court doc’s say Diddy raped a male escort then threatened him saying I got 2 pac hit,” he wrote in his caption. “What the f*ck you think I’ll do to you. Ya Man is a Mook Yo !”

50 Cent has been going after Diddy for years now. In December, he even teamed up with Netflix to produce a docuseries about his downfall, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. Since its release, it’s managed to rack up more than a whopping 50 million views.

50 Cent Diddy Docuseries Lawsuit

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

The doc has landed Fif into some legal trouble of his own, however. A few weeks after it came out, he and Netflix were hit with a lawsuit by a former sex worker who appears in the doc. According to him, the pieces of his interview that were used allegedly didn’t create an accurate depiction of his experience.

“Defendants deliberately edited, distorted, and misrepresented plaintiff’s account to portray Cassie Ventura — plaintiff’s primary trafficker — as a victim, while omitting and suppressing plaintiff’s testimony that he was sex trafficked by Ventura, thereby inflicting severe harm upon plaintiff’s reputation,” the lawsuit alleges.

“This calculated misrepresentation was done in furtherance of defendant Curtis Jackson’s personal and business vendetta against Sean Combs and to create a commercially profitable narrative that silenced a documented trafficking victim to protect a documented trafficker,” the lawsuit also alleges.

Overall, the artist has been through a lot in her life. It has not been easy to get through these trials and tribulations, and fans have been showing her tremendous empathy throughout the entire process.

Having said that, there have been some questions about her condition and whether or not she is going to be okay. One of her friends who appears to have those answers is adult film star Sophie Rain.

The OnlyFans star is set to collaborate with Bhad Bhabie in Los Angeles. When paparazzi spotted Sophie Rain, they asked her how Bhad Bhabie is doing, and whether or not she is holding up amid the cancer situation.

“I think she’s doing great,” Rain told The Hollywood Fix. “She’s honestly, her spirits are high regardless of everything going on, and I’m just really excited to meet her and get to know more about her because I’ve never met her before.”

Cancer is never easy to deal with. In fact, it is the complete opposite. The treatments can leave you feeling tired and without energy. Furthermore, the mental stress of dealing with any disease can take a whole lot out of you.

Whether or not Bhad Bhabie is recovering right now is up to her to announce to all of her fans. After posting photos of herself on social media this week, some fans were quick to speculate about her condition.

This is probably causing more stress and anxiety as the internet continues to try to poke and prod for any clues. Being famous really is tough, and going through public health issues only adds fuel to that fire. Hopefully, the artist and TV personality is getting all the help she needs.

Last month, it was reported that D4vd is now the “target” of a grand jury investigation into her death. Per court documents, authorities allege that he could have been “involved in the death of 14-year-old victim Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who may have been a victim of foul play.”

In February, the singer-songwriter’s former friend Neo Langston was questioned before the grand jury. Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman did the questioning. According to TMZ, he had no problem answering her questions and insisted he had nothing to do with Rivas’ disappearance. Moreover, a source told the outlet that he said he knew nothing about her passing or D4vd’s possible involvement. He was questioned for about 40 minutes.

Who Is Neo Langston?

On top of being a former friend of D4vd’s, Langston is a Twitch streamer. In January, he was reportedly arrested for failing to appear in court as a witness in the case. Earlier this week, he took to his Instagram Story to slam D4vd and proclaim his own innocence.

“Thankfully I’m legally fine in every way, AND BOI DO I GOT ALL MY RECIEPTS FOR THINGS HAHAHAHA,” he wrote. “I think the worst part is that I’ve told so many people that I trust and I thought knew me as a person my side of things, all for that to be thrown out the fkin window as soon as I get arrested and they slap that d*ckheads name next to mine.”

“And for the record, the thing I was arrested for wasn’t even charged,” Langston added. “They never filed it and my warrant was retracted because there is more to the story then what’s on the news.”

Kanye West’s “Coldest Winter”

Kanye West originally released “Coldest Winter” on his fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak, in 2008. With co-production from No I.D. and Jeff Bhasker in addition to West, the song itself interpolates Tears for Fears’ “Memories Fade.” West reflects on the death of his mother, Donda West, with the lyrics.

This is far from the first time North West has showcased her musical talents. In 2024, she performed “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” during The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event at the Hollywood Bowl. After that, she made her recording debut on Kanye and Ty Dolla Sign’s single “Talking / Once Again.” The Vultures 1 single peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100. North also sang in Japanese on FKA Twigs’s song, “Childlike Things,” in 2025.

In other news, Kanye is currently gearing up for the release of his next studio album, Bully. Following numerous delays, he’ll finally be releasing the project on March 27, at least as of now. He previously shared an earlier iteration of the album as a short film edited by Hype Williams in 2025.

On top of Bully, Kanye has also announced several upcoming live performances. These include his first concert in Los Angeles since 2021. Several local activists in the Jewish community took issue with SoFi Stadium providing a venue for the show. Kanye took out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal, earlier this year, to apologize for his antisemitism.

Fif accused Shields of cheating, which led to a major fallout on social media. Shields ended up exposing text messages in an attempt to clear her name. Meanwhile, fans on social media were quick to give their opinions on the situation.

This all came in the midst of Claressa Shields’ birthday preparations. This week, the legendary boxer turned 31 years old. It was a huge milestone for her, and she ended up celebrating in a unique fashion.

Instead of having Papoose write a song about her, she decided to write a song about Papoose. You can watch her performance of the song, below.

Claressa Shields Sings for Papoose

Ultimately, it is clear that singing and songwriting aren’t Shields’ forte. With that in mind, it was the internet that was even quicker to jump to this conclusion.

There were a lot more questions than answers when it comes to this situation. This led to some pretty heavy reactions on social media, where fans voiced exactly how they felt about Shields’ new song. As you can imagine, the reactions were not particularly positive.

Fans Give Their Unfiltered Reactions

Some felt as though this was a ploy for forgiveness following the cheating allegations. Others were very confused about Shields writing a song about Papoose on her birthday, when it should be the other way around. The reactions were strong, and it just adds fuel to the fire of the last week or so.

Papoose seems to be sticking with Claressa Shields right now. He has shown no indications that he wants to leave her. Everything seems status quo, but the internet is getting its jokes in. At this point, everyone knows that the internet is going to do its thing regardless.

In it, they allege that they signed a contract guaranteeing Gunna $500K for his performance, and an additional $250K if he didn’t get his money by the first deadline. Allegedly, the promoters later told Gunna’s team that the money was tied up in gold commodities. They also allegedly said the money would come from a partnership with a “major alcohol brand” or the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City.

Gunna’s touring company is now seeking more than $750K in damages for alleged breach of contract, fraud, and more.

Gunna Legal Issues

Gunna has dealt with his own fair share of legal issues in the past. Back in 2022, for example, he was indicted on a single RICO charge. Fortunately, he had support from some of his peers as he navigated the legal proceedings, including T.I. During an episode of his expediTIously podcast, the Atlanta artist recalled Gunna calling him up for advice.

“He called me and asked me for a suggestion of what lawyer, and I gave him my lawyer,” he remembered. “He could not go to Brian Steel, he could not go […] to Drew Findling. So I introduced him to my attorney, which is Steve Sadow.”

“They started talking on their own,” he continued. “And that’s when he turned himself in a day or two later.” T.I. added that if he had known Gunna would be offered the plea deal he was, he might have given him a warning.

“I would have just made sure that he knew, if you agree to this, you will be met with adverse opinion. People will see you as something you don’t want to be seen as,” he explained. “If anybody would have been able to advise him and tell him, he wouldn’t have did it. I don’t think he would have did it.”

B/R Kicks reports that the Nike KD 19 is going to drop on June 13th, 2026.

Durant was spotted lacing up the all-red colorway before the game. The moment marked a significant milestone in one of basketball’s longest signature shoe runs.

Nike officially unveiled the KD 19 shortly after Durant was seen wearing it. The shoe is set for a public release in June 2026. Getting 19 signature sneakers with one brand is a rare achievement in the industry.

Only a handful of athletes in history have reached that number with Nike. The design is immediately striking and unlike anything in the current KD line. The silhouette sits extremely low to the ground with a sculpted, almost armor-like upper.

Sharp angular lines run across the shoe’s surface giving it a futuristic feel. The glossy patent-like finish on the debut colorway makes it impossible to miss on court. Durant’s KD line has always pushed performance design forward with each new model.

The KD 19 appears to continue that tradition with an aggressive new direction. The outsole features an intricate traction pattern that wraps the entire bottom.

Nike clearly wanted this shoe to make a visual statement from day one. A June release gives sneaker fans a few months to prepare. This one is going to be worth the wait.

Nike KD 19

The Nike KD 19 is Kevin Durant’s most visually bold signature shoe in years. Also the debut colorway is an all-red build that covers every inch of the shoe in the same vibrant tone.

The upper has a sculpted, almost molded quality with sharp ridges and angular lines throughout. Further a glossy finish gives the shoe a patent leather-like appearance that catches light dramatically on the court.

The KD logo is embossed on the tongue, sitting flush with the material around it. The outsole features a detailed zigzag traction pattern that wraps the full bottom of the shoe.

Overall, for a 19th signature, Nike clearly wanted the KD 19 to feel like a major statement.
