The Silver Surfer rides again. SUPREME’s newest drop includes a Max B photo tee and the culture is here for it.

This week the popular street wear brand unveiled their forthcoming Spring 2025 collection. Included are six graphic tops ranging in several colors. The clear standout though is the photograph t-shirt featuring the Boss Don. On the chest is a classic flick of Max B taken in Harlem on the same day he conducted his infamous interview with Come Up DVD. During the informal Q&A, Max B flexed a big stack of cash and started counting the money while reciting “She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not” to coincide with every bill passing his hands. On the back of the shirt is a handwritten message that reads “Max B for Supreme The Waviest Of All Time 2025 Oww!”
Born Charley Wingate, Max B gained national acclaim due to his association to Jim Jones. The two would engage in a bitter feud that would find Max leaving the Byrd Gang camp and publicly dissing Jim Jones. In 2009 Max B was sentenced to 75 years in prison for orchestrating a robbery which turned into the homicide of David Taylor. In 2016 Max B’s convictions were vacated; he is set to be released on Nov. 9, 2025. You can watch his classic interview which inspired the SUPREME photo tee below.

On Monday evening (April 7), the Supreme Court sided with President Donald Trump, granting an emergency request by the administration and overturning a lower court ruling, which had stopped deportation flights conducted under the Alien Enemies Act. The ruling came after a 5-4 decision, which saw Justice Amy Comey Barrett side with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Elena Kagan in dissent.
In the decision, the Court wrote that the lawyers representing migrants who were deported to El Salvador should’ve filed their lawsuit in Texas, rather than Washington, D.C. The Trump administration used the Alien Enemies Act, first enacted in 1798, to deport over 100 Venezuelans it claimed were members of Tren de Aragua, a notorious street gang in that country. They argued that the powers of the act, which allows the president to detain or deport citizens of enemy nations, was applicable in this case. Federal Judge James E. Boasberg directed the administration to stop the deportation flights, particularly as the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia came to light. Garcia, a Maryland man and legal resident since 2019, was among those deported on March 15.The Supreme Court’s opinion also called for all future potential cases for deportation go through due process in court: “AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.”Trump crowed about the decision on his Truth Social media platform, writing: “The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to be able to secure our Borders, and protect our families and our Country, itself. A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” His glee was in contrast to the grave concern expressed by Justice Sotomayor, who wrote that “The Government’s conduct in this litigation poses an extraordinary threat to the rule of law. We, as a Nation and a court of law, should be better than this.” Justice Brown Jackson compared the case to the infamous Korematsu v. United States decision, which allowed for Japanese-Americans to be herded into internment camps during World War II. “But make no mistake: We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences,” she wrote in the dissent.

Hip-Hop’s first (probably) self-proclaimed Nazi, Kanye West, has made no bones about his disdain for the King of the North, Drake, over the last few years (before it was trendy to do so), and though he’s recently been sending shots at Drake’s rival, Kendrick Lamar, Yeezy is still taking the time to send shots at Drizzy to remind the Canadian crooner that there’s still no love lost between the two.
On his latest album, WWIII, Kanye goes full Nazi with his chorus on “Heil Hitler” (yes, you read that right) and in one of his bars bluntly throws a dart at Drizzy by saying “Ni**as be acting like f*ggots, I think they might be Drake,” before going on to say “All my ni**as Nazis, ni**a heil Hitler!”
Dissing a Black man who’s also half Jewish on a song that pays tribute to a historical villain who murdered millions of Jewish men, women and children during the Holocaust is something else. But hey, this is Kanye “MAGA” West in 2025. Nothing he does or says is shocking these days.
The song was previewed on a stream with Digital Nas, and while it was pretty disturbing to hear Kanye West go down this route on a record, the man has been saying for weeks now that he identifies as a Nazi and has even gone so far as to get a diamond encrusted swastika to show his allegiance to the fascist movement of the 1940s.
The new song comes a week after Yeezy previewed another song off of WWIII dubbed “BIANCA” in which he seemingly confirmed that his wife of two years, Bianca Censori, packed her bags and left him due to his outspokenness on X, which apparently became too much for her to bear as the man has been hard at work alienating everyone he could since the beginning of 2025.
We would say Kanye West needs help at this point, but who has the energy anymore.
Check out the preview to Kanye West’s “Heil Hitler” and let us know your thoughts on the man and his new direction in life in the comments section below.

The multilingual track follows the quintet’s signature atmospheric, synth-pop style as they detail the emotions of yearning in relationship, amplified by soaring harmonies. “Ah, one, two, three, four, five as I’m falling, I go crazy, crazy/ One, two, three, four, five as I’m falling, I go crazy, crazy for you,” they sing in the dreamy chorus.
“Perfect Crime” marks the girl group’s first original release of 2025, setting the tone for a jam-packed year following the launch of their Love Tune: Rewired (Remixes) album in January. FIFTY FIFTY is also gearing up to drop their highly anticipated new EP, Day & Night, on April 29.
Trending on Billboard
The song also comes two years after the group’s breakthrough hit, “Cupid,” which was named 2023’s top song around the world by TikTok. The song got a remix from Sabrina Carpenter following its release, and the “Cupid (Twin Version)” won the K-Pop Song of the Year honor at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
“Cupid” also saw massive success on the Billboard charts. The track debuted April 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at No. 17 on the May 20-dated tally. Elsewhere on the charts, the track peaked at No. 1 on the Global Excl. U.S. tally for two weeks, and at No. 2 on the Global 200 tally, where it spent 38 weeks on the chart.

This week: Young Thug’s Atlanta prosecutors get really mad over a social media post; Diddy’s sex trafficking case heats up as a trial date looms; Mariah Carey seeks payback after beating a “Christmas” copyright case; and much more.
THE BIG STORY: DA Gets Mad About Young Thug’s Tweets
Less than six months after Young Thug pleaded guilty to gang charges and was sentenced to probation, he found himself facing accusations from Atlanta prosecutors that he had violated his release terms. The issue? A mean tweet.
To rewind: After sitting in jail for more than two years on felony accusations over his “YSL” group, Thug rebuffed a plea deal and simply pleaded guilty in October, winning a sentence of only probation — a humiliating result for the Fulton County District Attorney’s office after the longest-running trial in state history had descended into chaos.
Trending on Billboard
While Thug avoided prison, he was hit with strict release terms from the judge, who warned him that “there better be no violations.” And on Wednesday (April 2), prosecutors accused him of just such a misstep — citing a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) in which the rapper had criticized an investigator as “the biggest liar in the DA’s office.” They called that post “a blatant disregard for the law” and part of a “a calculated campaign of intimidation.”
Unsurprisingly, Thug’s attorneys disagreed — calling those accusations “baseless” and arguing that the rapper was legally entitled to voice his opinion about the government even while under probation: “Mr. Williams can admit to all of the allegations alleged and still not have violated any term of his probationary sentence.”
When the dust settled Thursday (April 3), Judge Paige Reese Whitaker sided with Thug and declined to revoke his probation. But she also suggested that he be more careful on social media: “While the court does not find that the cited social media post rises to the level of a violation of defendant’s probation, it may be prudent for defendant to exercise restraint regarding certain topics.”
Other top stories this week…
DIDDY CASE HEATS UP – The sweeping sexual abuse case against Sean “Diddy” Combs heated up with the trial looming next month, first with a new superseding indictment that added new legal charges against the star, and then with news that his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura would testify against him at the trial using her real name. Prosecutors argued that the other three alleged victims should remain anonymous, though, citing such treatment in previous cases against R. Kelly and Ghislaine Maxwell.
PRE-TRIAL CLASH – Meanwhile, federal prosecutors and Diddy’s defense attorneys sparred over a crucial pre-trial question: Whether jurors can hear testimony from numerous other accusers beyond the four women at the core of the government’s case. His lawyers say the feds are trying to “pollute the trial with decades of dirt” by adding last-minute “incendiary” claims to paint him as a “bad guy”; the government says Combs is “desperately” trying to keep relevant testimony about his other intent and knowledge “hidden from the jury.”
MARIAH’S REVENGE – After beating a copyright lawsuit over her holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas is You,” Mariah Carey and other defendants demanded that Vince Vance, the little-known songwriter who filed the case, repay more than $180,000 they spent on lawyers defending certain “frivolous” motions. That might sound like a lot for just a few motions, but Carey says she was “perfectly justified” in paying elite lawyers because Vance was seeking drastic remedies like $20 million in damages and the “destruction of all copies” of the song.
DRAKE DISCOVERY – A federal judge ruled that Drake could move forward with discovery in his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG) over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” allowing his attorneys to begin demanding documents like Lamar’s record deal. The ruling went against UMG, which had argued that Drake’s case was so flawed that it would likely be quickly dismissed, making discovery a waste of everyone’s time. But discovery in a civil lawsuit is a two-way street — infamously so in defamation cases — and UMG can now also seek vast swathes of sensitive materials about Drake, including demanding to depose the rapper himself.
HAYES v. TRUMP SURVIVES – A federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump must face a copyright lawsuit filed by the estate of Isaac Hayes over the president’s alleged use of the 1966 song “Hold On, I’m Coming” on the campaign trail. The president’s attorneys had argued that Hayes’ estate had failed to show that it even owned a copyright to the song, but a judge said the estate had done just enough to avoid having the case tossed at the outset.
“NOTHING MISLEADING” – SiriusXM asked a federal judge to dismiss a class action claiming the company earns billions by foisting a deceptive “U.S. Music Royalty Fee” onto subscribers, arguing there had been “nothing misleading” about its pricing and marketing. The lawsuit claims the fee makes the service far more expensive than advertised, but SiriusXM argued that users “received what they paid for” and knew about the fee: “Sirius XM has done exactly what it said it would do: charge a monthly price for music subscriptions, plus ‘fees and taxes’.”

According to HipHopDX, the charges stem from a disturbing incident involving his pregnant girlfriend, Tatiana Chanell, which allegedly occurred on March 30 at a nightclub in Houston, Sekai. Tatiana has accused Richey of choking her at least 20 times during the altercation. Video footage of the night, which went viral, shows Richey forcibly taking a phone out of Tatiana’s hand, but the situation reportedly escalated further, leading to the violent assault. In her newly-filed charges, Tatiana claims that the rapper’s actions were far more brutal than what was initially visible in the viral video.
The allegations have put Richey in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, as he was previously gaining momentum in the rap industry with a growing following. Now, his career is at risk, with these serious felony charges threatening to derail his success. The case is currently under investigation, and the rapper has yet to issue a public statement regarding the accusations.
As the legal proceedings continue, this case highlights the issue of domestic violence in the Hip-Hop community, where such allegations often cast a shadow over the artist’s career. The outcome of the case could have significant repercussions not only for Richey’s personal life but also for his professional future in the music industry.
