It’s been weeks since Future dropped off his latest mixtape, Pluto and though it hasn’t sparked any new memes centered around being a toxic boyfriend (those be hilarious), the man does have some bangers on the project and has dropped a visual for a fan favorite cut.

Coming through with some new visuals for “Brazzier,” the Toxic King politics in a parking garage with his crew and two big boy toys revving their engines before posing up a storm in front of a… giant spider?! Where the hell did that come from? Australia? Jesus!

Back in Florida, Kodak Black seems to mourn a bit differently than the average person and in his clip to “Catch Fire,” KB sparks a spliff as he attends an interesting funeral where the casket seemingly hovers off the ground and the women mourning are pretty damn sexy. Just sayin.’
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Smoke DZA featuring Memphis Bleek, Icewear Vezzo, and more.
FUTURE – “BRAZZIER”

KODAK BLACK – “CATCH FIRE”

Over the last few years “swatting” has become the latest trend among Americans looking to annoy and disrupt the everyday lives of people they just can’t stand. Though it was mainly reserved for politicians, as of late celebrities have been swatted as people just have nothing better to do these days.

Now, it seems like streaming megastar, Kai Cenat, has fallen victim to the swatting trend as police were called to his residence right when he kicked off his highly publicized Mafiathon 2. According to TMZ, someone decided to swat Cenat right when he kicked off his month-long livestreaming marathon and called authorities to report a trespasser at Kai Cenat’s home. When police arrived they asked the people in the residence to leave while they combed the rooms to ensure things were on the up and up.

Once they realized it was much ado about nothing, the stream got back on track, but unfortunately, the swatting attempts didn’t end there.
Per TMZ:
The next day, though, cops got yet another call — this one being far more serious.
As KC documented on his stream, officers rushed to the scene after someone reported a shooting at the home … which was ultimately deemed a swatting call.
Unfortunately for Cenat, it didn’t stop there … ’cause on Sunday, cops got two more calls of alleged issues at the home.
After the last incident police are now monitoring calls made on Kai Cenat’s home and have a direct line to hit him on to make sure things are OK on his side. Though police are investigating the calls made, they haven’t made any arrests. With the rest of the month left to go, we won’t be surprised if another attempt or two are made. We just hope police catch whoever’s wasting everyone’s time with this childish game.
What do y’all think about the swatting trend on celebrities? Sound off in the comments section below.

It has been months since rumors circled that Colman Domingo was being eyed to replace Jonathan Majors as Kang The Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and while that’s still a possibility, the man is keeping himself busy with new and interesting projects.

On Tuesday (Oct. 29), Netflix dropped a new trailer to its new original series, The Madness, which stars Colman Domingo as political media pundit, Muncie Daniels, who finds himself accused of a murder he didn’t commit. After witnessing the murder of an infamous white supremacist (not Trump), Daniels is framed for the killing and can only rely on himself to clear his name while delving into the crazy conspiracy behind the crime.

Of course they’d frame a Black man for the murder of a white supremacist. Watch ya back out there Don Lemon!
According to Hypebeast, Domingo will be joined by the likes of Marsha Stephanie Blake, John Ortiz, Gabrielle Graham and Tamsin Topolski.
The Clement Virgo-directed series will be an eight-episode thrill ride that’s sure to have twists and turns at every angle. So y’all better buckle up because Colman Domingo don’t be signing up for no lame ish.
Per Hypebeast:
“Everything about this conspiracy thriller excited me. It was a unique protagonist, one that I had never seen or experienced,” Domingo told Netflix. “Someone who has very centrist beliefs, and now they’re being thrust into the world to really hard-core believe in something and to reexamine the people that they believed were possible enemies. You realize you have more in common with them than you thought you had in the beginning.”
“I think it says a lot about who we are now and what we’re willing to do, and also to look at who’s really pulling the strings and for whose benefit.”
The Madness premiers on Netflix Nov. 28. Check out the trailer and let us know if you’ll be checking for it come next month in the comments below.

It’s been more than a year since the sudden passing of legendary TV host Jerry Springer, and while many youngn’s wouldn’t understand why he’s held in such high regard among the older generation, they’ll be able to get an idea as to why he was beloved as a new documentary is set to release in the new year.

According to Variety, Netflix is set to release a two-part documentary dubbed Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action, which is set to release Jan. 7, 2025. The documentary will delve into how Jerry Springer went from a reporter at a local television station to hosting one of the most ratchet and entertaining talk shows of the 90s. It. Was. Amazing. Kids used to skip school, watch the show and risk getting “Cutting Cards” sent to their homes, but y’all youngn’s wouldn’t know anything about that.
The Hollywood Reporter reports:

Per Netflix, the “jaw-dropping” doc will feature “first-hand testimony and revelations from show insiders,” as well as interviews with producers and former guests who help uncover “a murkier picture” of “The Jerry Springer Show” and “the destruction it caused.”
“Fights, Camera, Action” promises to raise “renewed questions about who was responsible, and how far things should go in the name of entertainment.”
“The Jerry Springer Show” ran for 27 seasons, from 1991 to 2018, and became popular due to its trashy, unfiltered approach to controversial topics such as incest, racism and adultery. The guests were characteristically rowdy, often breaking out into fist fights and screaming matches, broken up by security guards. It also became a trend for women in the audience to flash their breasts in exchange for “Jerry Beads,” Mardi Gras-style necklaces with the show’s logo.
Again: It. Was. Amazing.
While most people felt it was staged, scripted and rehearsed, none of that mattered. It was junk food for the brain and we indulged in it every time.

Angel Reese might’ve missed out on the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year honors, but she sure as hell isn’t missing out on any bags anytime soon. We ain’t talking about no Birkin joints either.

Reebok announced that the Chicago Sky’s new star forward would be joining their family on a multi-year deal and getting her own signature sneaker line, which is set to make its debut in 2026. With her college rival, Caitlin Clark, having already signed with Nike, it’s only right that she take her talents to Reebok to keep the brand wars that much more interesting.

In a press release for the big news, the 6-foot-3 stunner expressed her excitement over the new partnership as we all know that WNBA players don’t get as many sneaker deals as their NBA counterparts.
“I’m extremely excited to let you guys know that we are officially coming out with a Reebok by Angel signature shoe!” said Reese. “We’ve already kicked off the design process, and it means the world to me to have Reebok’s full support and confidence with this shoe and overall partnership.”
Why fans will have to wait until the spring of 2026 is anyone’s guess, but that’ll just give Reese more time to build on the brand that’s already making her a household name.

It’s been years since the popularity of Popeye’s signature Chicken Sandwich led to all kinds of hype and violence out in these streets and though things have calmed down since then, some people still don’t know how to act when stepping into the fried chicken establishment.

According to USA Today, a Popeyes employee fought off and stabbed an unruly customer after they got into a dispute over said customers order and it had nothing to do with the infamous Chicken Sandwich. The incident took place a little after 11:00 p.m. at a Popeyes restaurant in Philadelphia where police say a 28-year-old man was stabbed after he began attacking one of the employees at the fast food chain over his order. Unfortunately for the aggressor turned victim, he messed around and found out.
USA Today reports:

According to the report, several Popeyes employees were present and attempted to help their coworker during the confrontation, which was captured on security video obtained by police.
“Other employees intervened and tried to push this 28-year-old back out from the front door,” Small said to the news station. “That’s when the 34-year-old employee getting assaulted and attacked pulled a knife and stabbed the 28-year-old.”
The man was struck in the torso and head, per the official. He fled the scene, but officers found him due to a blood trail that led them to a residence in the area, NBC Philadelphia reported. It’s unclear if he is facing any charges at this time.
Unless there was a deep fried rat in his three-piece meal, we don’t see any reason to attack a fast food worker on their turf. Imagine that man would’ve brought that nonsense to Beanie Sigel’s food truck Grab & Roll, Wings & Bowls? We would’ve been writing about his obituary. Just sayin.’
Police Chief Inspector Scott Small says that they’re still investigating the cause of the fight but added that the 34-year-old employee was indeed acting out of self-defense.
That man got the Popeyes Hawaii juice now.

Days after Diddy was indicted for sex trafficking and is facing the possibility of life in prison, a rapper from Toronto has been hit with human trafficking charges and no, it’s not who you think it is.

According to CTV News, up and coming rapper Lady SB and five others have been taken into custody and charged for their roles in a human trafficking ring that was operating out of the Greater Toronto Area. Along with Lady SB (Sabrina Leite-Moniz), police also arrested Prince Munroe, aka “Casino Barnes,” Jamie Munroe, Jonathan Bennett and Shuwayne Mitchell. Along with human trafficking, Lady SB, Prince Munroe and Jamie Munroe have been hit with knowingly advertising sexual services, assault and other charges.
Both Bennett and Mitchell have been charged with one count of “procuring—exercise control.”
CTV News reports:

Halton Regional Police allege from September 2019 to September 2024, the accused coerced, deceived, manipulated, and used physical violence and psychological harm to “maintain control, direction of influence over the victims.” Officers did not specify how many victims were involved.
Following a five-month joint investigation with various services across the GTA, police identified five suspects and conducted five search warrants on Tuesday at various homes in Brampton and Toronto.
As a result, police arrested five suspects and seized a “large sum of cash,” a loaded firearm with ammunition and a prohibited magazine, a vehicle and victim identifying documents.
The suspects range in age from 25 to 35, and come from Brampton, Mississauga, Shelburne, Ont., and Courtice, Ont.
No word on how long Lady SB and her cohorts are facing behind bars, but if Diddy’s facing up to life in prison we can only assume they’ll be facing a long bid behind bars.

In the 48 hours following the announcement that Kendrick Lamar would be headlining the Super Bowl Halftime show in New Orleans next February, Jay-Z’s Hip-Hop peers continue to pile on the criticism as many feel that Lil Wayne should’ve gotten the nod over Kung Fu Kenny.

After the likes of Lil Wayne’s studio engineer and Master P spoke on the subject, Nicki Minaj and Birdman have taken to social media to take shots at Jay-Z for overlooking Nawlins native, Weezy for the Super Bowl festivities. Taking to Twitter to express her outrage over the choice, Nicki blasted Hov with a pointed tweet saying the decision to have Kendrick Lamar over Lil Wayne was driven by Jay-Z’s “ego” and that he was simply punishing Lil Wayne over his hatred for Birdman, Drake and even herself.

We didn’t even know Jay hated them.

Still, Nicki continued to ride for Wayne while taking shots at Jay for being “spiteful” and apparently even some of Roc Nation’s employees.

Birdman meanwhile weighed in on the situation himself but refrained from going all out as Nicki Minaj did in her posts.

Keep in mind Jay-Z paid off Lil Wayne’s multi-million dollar tax lien more than a decade ago when Wayne and Birdman were on the outs. So there’s that.
While many assume the decision to have Kendrick Lamar perform at the Super Bowl was strictly on Jay-Z, apparently the host city gets to pick who they want to perform the Super Bowl Halftime show after they’re presented with a list of names. In other words, Jay-Z didn’t choose Kendrick Lamar, New Orleans did. allegedly. Whether Wayne was on that short list or not is anyone’s guess, but it seems like everyone is hating on Jay-Z for a decision where he probably didn’t have the final say.
That being said, we doubt that the city of New Orleans is going to interject and reveal that it was they, and not Jay-Z who chose Kendrick Lamar and not Lil Wayne. Not after they’ve seen the backlash that Jay-Z got anyway.
What do y’all think about the outrage over Lil Wayne’s snub for the Super Bowl Halftime show in New Orleans? Let us know in the comments section below.

On Sunday (September 8), social media was buzzing when it was revealed that Kendrick Lamar had been tapped to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans as many assumed the honor would go to Nawlin’s favorite son, Lil Wayne.

But with Jay-Z running the show and tapping Kung Fu Kenny to kick things off come February 9th, Lil Wayne’s mixing engineer Fabian Marasciullo took to social media to express his disappointment in the surprising choice. According to HipHopDX, Marasciullo took to his Instagram stories and bluntly stated that he felt “Confused. Disappointed. Angry. But most of all. Inspired.”

Continuing to build on his feelings, Weezy’s engineer added “Will never again be in the position or have the [GOAT] where we are at the mercy of someone else’s decision. We will make the decisions.”

After Kendrick Lamar was revealed to be the headliner for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, many fans felt he’d undoubtedly bring Wayne along with him to perform on stage, but with the way Marasciullo is describing the mood on that side, would Wayne even accept an invitation to the show if he’s not headlining it?
Per HipHopDX:
During an interview with Taylor Rooks for Bleacher Report last December, Weezy talked about his desire to perform at Super Bowl LIX, which is being held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9, 2025.
“Just as bad as I wanted to see my name at the top of that list when I was whatever age it was and I would bust into the office and get that Billboard magazine,” he said about wanting to perform.
“Just as an artist, you know, ’cause this has nothing to do with the sport. As an artist, this is an achievement. This has nothing to do with the sport — that’s so crazy. I don’t care what teams are playing, what city it’s in. ‘You performed for the what?!’ Like, what? Oh man, so that right there is an achievement.”
We’re not gonna lie, we lowkey feel bad that Jay passed on Wayne in favor of Kendrick Lamar. Yes, we know K. Dot had a monster year thanks to his back-and-forth with Drake, but Weezy is a Hip-Hop legend from New Orleans with an illustrious catalog. Seemed like a no brainer to us.

Even New Orleans triple OG, Master P took to social media to say Wayne should be added to the Halftime show writing “He’s one of the greatest Hop Hop artists alive, still relevant and he’s a New Orleans native. Let’s not miss this cultural moment in the South.”

As many sneakers are available these days, Nike, adidas, New Balance and even Asics are running the street scene, but can AND1 make the comeback that no one saw coming in 2024?

We’re not sure if that’s a viable goal for the brand that never really caught on in popularity, but that’s not keeping them from bringing back a “classic.” Sneaker News is reporting that AND1 plans on retroing their white and red “Tai Chi” colorway that Vince Carter wore when he won the NBA Slam Dunk contest in 2000. While that feat didn’t exactly put AND1 on the map, it was still a memorable moment for the company as they were just beginning to find their footing in the sneaker game at the time.

Now, 24 years later, AND1 feels it’s time to take everyone back and have re-released the “classic” silhouette right on time for the back-to-school shopping spree that parents are currently undertaking as their kids head back to the classroom in the finest attire they can afford.
Per Sneaker News:
The AND1 Tai Chi‘s time in the limelight was entirely by chance; just months prior, Vince negged his deal with PUMA before eventually signing with Nike to become the face of the Shox franchise. During that period of shoe purgatory, Vince rocked the Tai Chi from the upstart AND1 brand, a label that grew from indie movement to perhaps the most popular basketball imprint at the time. You can read the full story about Vince’s movements in the shoe industry here
The Tai Chi’s Vince Carter era may have been short-lived, but it’s unquestionably one of the most significant basketball shoes in history. Remembered for its bold two-toned color-blocking, the Tai Chi was worn by the likes of Stephon Marbury, Kevin Garnett, Jason Williams, and more compelling hoopers of the late 1990s/early 2000s.
We’re not gonna lie, if people don’t know the history of this sneaker, anyone rocking them out in the wild might get clowned. We all know kids are ruthless in the social media era. Just sayin’.
The AND1 Tai Chi’s are currently available on the AND1 website for a cool $130. Check out pics of the OG kicks below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up a pair for nostalgia sake in the comments section.
