Recently, Ice Spice delivered a viral hit, “Big Guy,” as part of the latest SpongeBob SquarePants movie. The success of this song revitalized Ice Spice’s music career, even if she hasn’t capitalized with another single. Overall, the track was proof that she can still make catchy songs that resonate with the way people consume music in the modern day.

This pop culture relevance has put her back on the radar of Epic Games, the developers of Fortnite. Ice Spice has received her very own Fortnite skins in the past, and now, she is about to get another one.

According to a new data-mining leak from HYPEX, Ice Spice’s SpongeBob SquarePants look will now be coming to Fortnite. You can see the leaked skin below.

Ice Spice x Fortnite

It’s a pretty simple design that will supposedly come with a “Big Guy” emote. However, at this time, there is no release date for the skin. Instead, gamers are going to have to wait for this to be announced by Epic Games themselves.

Fortnite remains one of the most popular games in the entire world. The Battle Royale innovator has done collaborations with Family Guy, The Simpsons, Travis Scott, the NFL, and even LeBron James. Being part of the Fortnite ecosystem means you have made it big.

If you are a fan of gaming and a fan of Ice Spice, then this latest collab will most certainly be something to watch out for going forward.

Following reports of his death, peers and friends shared tributes across social media. Big Bank, DJ Scream, Rocko, and Hot Boy Turk were among those who honored Alley Boy’s legacy. The “Fish Fry” rapper is remembered as one of the most respected voices to emerge from Atlanta’s Zone 6 because of his authenticity and influence on the city’s rap scene.

Alley Boy never shied away from discussing the circumstances that led to kidney failure. During an appearance on the A Humble Soul podcast, he explained that his kidneys were severely damaged after years of drinking lean and complications with high blood pressure. The Gift Of Discernment MC used his own story as a cautionary tale, especially after detailing how he also used to sell codeine. In 2024, he was undergoing dialysis three times a week for more than a year while waiting for a transplant that ultimately never came.

Alley Boy’s Career

Over the course of his career, Alley Boy became a key figure in Atlanta’s trap scene, having made a name for himself in the underground and co-founding the label Duct Tape Entertainment, which later secured a distribution deal through Asylum/Atlantic Records. Throughout his career, he collaborated with major artists in hip-hop, including Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Future, Freddie Gibbs, Pusha T, Yo Gotti, Meek Mill, Master P and more. Rest In Peace, Alley Boy.

The 34-year-old athlete was held at the Stark County jail on a “courtesy hold for another agency.” It is believed that the former NFL star owes upwards of $50,000 in child support.

As per TMZ, Bell’s attorney, Thomas Shaffer, has been adamant that the NFL star cannot afford his child support payments. He claims the payments were based on his NFL income, which no longer exists. In fact, Bell allegedly had to take his NFL pension and put it towards child support.

Le’Veon Bell Arrest

Bell is currently financially reeling from a $25 million judgment in a sexual abuse case. Bell and his attorney have stated that the allegations are false.

If you have been following Bell as of late, you would know that he has mostly faded from the spotlight. Aside from some viral tweets here and there, Bell isn’t at the same level of fame he used to be. There was a time when he was the best versatile running back in the NFL. Now, he can be found streaming.

He previously tried his hand at boxing, although that was not the success he was hoping for.

This is a developing story, and we will be sure to keep you updated.

With his new album, The Real Me, the rapper hit gold again. Though the project itself has earned some rather lukewarm reviews, if we’re being generous, it still proved to be a major success. Per Kurrco, Future moved 131K in his first week, topping the chart as a result. It’s slightly under predictions but not by much. Ultimately, Future’s new project has earned him the 12th #1 album of his career. 

Now, what seems to be more impressive about all of this is that people started counting Future out on the day the album dropped. Some felt like his first-day Spotify streams indicate a career falloff. The fact that he has another chart-topping album under his belt, especially one that felt underwhelming compared to other entries in his catalog, indicates that he’s still among a rare tier of artists who can still move units. What’s even more impressive is that he did it without any features. Despite anticipation for another collaboration with Drake, he handled the entirety of The Real Me without assistance.

What’s Next For Future?

It’s unclear whether he’ll be releasing any more music this year or coming through with a tour but we’re positive that his new project will maintain some sense of rotation for the rest of the summer. What are your thoughts on the album? Sound off in the comment section below.

“TO: SUMMER… A love letter to Toronto,” Leon said in a press release. “Started in Toronto and completed between Seoul and Tokyo, this record was born from distance. The farther I traveled, the more I found myself thinking about home. Toronto summers are sacred. We spend most of the year in the cold, in the dark, waiting for them to arrive. Then, before we know it, they’re gone. This album is dedicated to those summers. The friends. The lovers. The family. The neighbourhoods. The long weekends. The late nights. The feeling that, for a few brief months, the city belongs to all of us. Our summers are numbered. They don’t last long. That’s what makes them magic.”

Per TMZ, the rapper was chatting to another person when he spotted someone trying to film him. In an attempt to assert boundaries, he confronted the man, and that’s when things took a turn for the worse. Members of Travis’ entourage allegedly began hurling bottles, and that’s when NBA Champion Jordan Clarkson tried to intervene. The publication reports that he tried to de-escalate the situation, only to have NYPD escort him and Travis out of the establishment.

It was quite a frenzy in the middle of a star-studded event. Raising Cane’s took over Zero Bond for the night with celebrities like Logan Paul, Tate McCrae and more in attendance. Even 50 Cent took the stage to perform a few of his classic records. 

Unfortunately, this all comes days after Travis was sued for battery and false imprisonment for an incident on a yacht in 2024.

Travis Scott Releases New Music For The Odyssey Soundtrack

All of this occurred during a pretty big weekend for Travis Scott. The rapper’s new song “When I’m Home” with James Blake and Ludwig Göransson appeared in the closing credits of Christopher Nolan’s new movie, The Odyssey. Additionally, the rapper actually makes a brief cameo in the movie as well. Evidently, he and Nolan have formed a pretty tight bond since Tenet.  

We’ll keep you posted on any further developments on Jordan Clarkson and Travis Scott’s situation. Sound off in the comments with your thoughts.

Their associations have been placed under immense scrutiny since 2024. Anyone who collaborates with Lamar is seen as one of Drake’s adversaries. The same applies in the other direction. Sides have been taken, and lines have been drawn in the sand.

According to Adam22, there is at least one Kendrick Lamar collaborator with whom Drake wants nothing to do. That artist is none other than Lefty Gunplay, who appears on the song “tv off.”

While speaking to Wack 100, Adam reveals he asked Drake to address the rumor that Lefty Gunplay refused to do a song with him. This led to a sly reaction from the Canadian megastar, who effectively said he has no interest in ever collaborating with Lefty Gunplay.

Drake Has No Interest In A Song With Lefty Gunplay

Lefty Gunplay is an artist who still has a lot of work to do when it comes to his sound and ability. However, he is an artist who is hungry to show that he has what it takes to be a star. That said, we can see why Drake wouldn’t want to work with him.

These sorts of rumors quickly materialized following the beef and the subsequent release of GNX. However, if one thing is for certain, it is that Drake doesn’t need Lefty Gunplay, or anyone else for that matter. His latest album ICEMAN was a massive success, even with minimal features.

Drake is Drake, and that is never going to change. He will always be one of the biggest crossover artists in the pop and rap world, regardless of who chooses to work with him.

Ray signed an official partnership with Adidas back in October 2025. That deal eventually led to this personal colorway with Harden’s signature line.

The shoe uses a bold Beam Pink finish across most of the upper. “RUEI” lettering runs across the left shoe in bold white text. The right shoe features a scattered star graphic across its outer panel. Clean white Adidas branding appears throughout both sneakers as well.

Custom insoles inside each shoe feature Ray’s likeness as a personal touch. A limited batch of only 50 pairs released early at Fanatics Fest. Fans who couldn’t grab one will have another shot later this year. A wider release is expected sometime during Fall 2026.

This collaboration blends two very different worlds within sneaker culture. Streamers rarely get tied to signature basketball shoes in this way. Ray’s rise in Chinese-language streaming helped fuel this crossover moment.

It also shows how far creator partnerships have grown across sportswear brands. For now, sneaker fans will keep watching for more release details. Official pricing and full release information haven’t been shared yet.

Ray Asianboy x Adidas Harden Volum 10 “RUEI”

This colorway centers on a vivid Beam Pink shade across the entire shoe. Off White and Lucid Pink accents help balance out that bright base. The “RUEI” text takes up most of the lateral panel on the left shoe.

The branding ties directly back to Ray’s personal streaming and content name. Meanwhile, the right shoe swaps text for a scattered constellation of stars. That design choice adds visual balance between both sides of the pair. Adidas kept its usual branding minimal, letting the personal details stand out more.

Since Ray became the first streamer with a public PE, expectations are high. Sneakerheads and streaming fans alike will likely watch this release closely.
