Virgil Abloh's Off-White brand and Nike have long solidified their relationship as one of the best design collaborations in modern history. "The Ten" collaboration the brand's launched with each other back in 2017 rendered Abloh a household name in the street-style world, and the Nike Air Jordan 1 "Chicago" became one of the most memorable Jordan 1 sneaker releases in recent years. Back in the summer of 2019, Abloh's MCA Chicago exhibit "Figures of Speech" highlighted dozens of unreleased Off-White x Nike samples, some of which have materialized into the Off White x Jordan 4 "Sail" and the Off White x Nike Vapor Street. Another shoe speculated to arrive soon is the Off White x Air Jordan 1s "Canary Yellow." The buzz was heightened when people noticed the "Canary Yellow" shoe has been highlighted on his public--doman.com site as "ACTUALLY PENDING." A few other sneakers on the site now have this distinction including the Off-White x Futura x Nike Dunk Low, Serena Williams' Off-White x Nike Court Flare 2 PEs, and two new yellow Off-White x Nike Air Force 1s. At this time, there is currently no more information about when the "Canary Yellow" shoes or the other "ACTUALLY PENDING" styles are expected to drop, but we'll keep you updated as we get more information. How are you feeling about the "Canary Yellow" colorway? Drop a comment letting us know. [via] View the full article

From the beginning of Jay Critch's career, Rich The Kid gotten credit as the first artist to give him a chance and give him a platform. However, their musical stylings didn't always match. Where RTK was making designer raps, Jay Critch was making music for the streets. Handled better, the Brooklyn rapper likely would be in a different position today, which is something that he aired out this week. Finally distancing himself from Rich The Kid and Rich Forever, Jay Critch initially said, "Some of these rap n***as is just like the lawyers at the label. Don't trust them. If y'all want new music, go tell them FREE CRITCH." He continued that statement by calling out Rich The Kid, saying, "Stop lettin' these n***as cap about owning masters n sh*t they trying hold n***as in bum ass deals." The drama has continued through a series of back-and-forth comments via Instagram Stories from both Critch and Rich. Screenshot via Rich The Kid's Instagram Stories "Wasn't even gonna speak on this because the internet is not the place but I see people trying to deformate [sic] my character," started Rich The Kid. "I signed Jay when I had a two bed room apartment I flew him out when I had 5k to my name and signed him (Off the strength of Gramz who you didn't do right w either) I gave a platform and made him who he is today.. now this week I got him a new deal to get out of his bullsh*t (which your lawyer ain't take no part in) then he tried to snake me go behind my back for a little bag. You say you want out of a contract that you signed and I haven't made 0 dollars off of you stop making it seem like you can jus say oh I'm not in a contract no more .. I put you on tour with future your first year of being signed you .. I put you on with two features DID IT AGAIN & FASHION.. I put YOU ON & you have NO loyalty." He went on to say that, if Jay needed any money, he could have just asked him. Screenshot via Rich The Kid's Instagram Stories "Your own N***AS will try to snake you for 100k," wrote Rich. "If you needed it you could just ask me!!! DAMN." Of course, "Hood Favorite" Jay Critch wasn't about to let all of this slide. He pulled through with a since-deleted message as well. Screenshot via Jay Critch's Instagram Stories "Cross U out? N***a tryna control my deal wit his lawyer," responded Jay. "I'm a grown ass man I can run my own deals silly. U D*CK ridin tryna block sh*t holding on to that paperwork. And u not like that chill.." It seems as though drama just follows Rich The Kid everywhere he goes.

The upcoming Grand Theft Auto V1 release date has been teased since May of last year with an estimated Fall 2021 arrival. Expected to be released on Sony PlayStation 5, Microsoft Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the eventual launch of the game later this year will allegedly introduce a female protagonist to the franchise for the first time ever. Cate Gillon/Getty Images The game's publisher Rockstar Games has yet to release any official information about the upcoming GTA VI, but many sources have already confirmed that the game is in the later stages of development already. Previously anticipated to arrive earlier, the game's delay came as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which halted production on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The game was allegedly planned to be a launch game for both devices. According to credible leaker Tom Henderson, who has previously given inside scoops on Call of Duty, the newest GTA will include both a male and female protagonist. Right now, it is unclear whether players will have the option to choose which character to use from the start or if you'll switch between the two throughout the game. More news on the game's development is expected to arrive as its release date gets closer. Elsewhere in the gaming world, fans have recently discovered Tyler, The Creator's character in GTA V. Are you looking forward to the next installation of GTA? [via] View the full article

It's a scene that has gained unrivaled fame in the video game world, one delivered with such mastery by actors Slink Johnson and Solo Fonteno that it has since garnered millions of views since debuting in 2013. The scene in question is, of course, the hilarious Grand Theft Auto V moment in which Lamar mercilessly roasts the ever-living soul out of his pal Franklin. It's reached such levels of fame that countless memes have spawned in its wake, with Lamar being replaced with everyone from Travis Scott to a T-posing character model. One of the most iconic scenes in gaming history. Now, the actors who originally brought the scene to life have come through to pay homage in a proper way. Johnson and Fonteno have officially reprised their roles as Lamar and Franklin respectively, hitting a similar location to recreate the beloved scene in real life. The end result is an amusingly accurate rendition, from the opening "Yee-Yee-Ass haircut" roast to the melodic parting shot. And of course, Franklin's incredulous retort continues to tie the whole thing together. Fans of Grand Theft Auto's sprawling world have no doubt seen this one already, but in case you missed it, you can check out the clip below. It goes without saying that GTAV remains one of the most popular video games of all time, and fans have been waiting patiently for the follow-up chapter. Though it's unlikely that Lamar and Franklin's bromance will continue when that one does land, it's clear that clips like this will ensure it lives on for all eternity.

A hot-take on the NBA's strict COVID-19 guidelines from George Hill has the Oklahoma City Thunder guard facing backlash. Following the Thunder's loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday (January 12), Hill spoke about the restrictions imposed by the league. When players aren't at practice or competing on the court, they're required to quarantine either at home or inside of their hotel rooms. After being alerted of the new rules, Hill made it clear that he can't be told what to do. Jared C. Tilton / Staff / Gettty Images “I’m a grown man, so I’m gonna do what I wanna do,” said Hill. “If I wanna go see my family, I’m gonna go see my family. They can’t tell me I have to stay in the room 24/7. If it’s that serious then maybe we shouldn’t be playing. It’s life. No one’s gonna be able to just cancel their whole life for this game. That’s how I think about it." “We wanna play the game," Hill added. "That’s what we love to do. But at the same time if we’re casting all these rules, this and that, maybe they need to reevaluate what we’re doing. If it’s that serious where you’re telling guys they can’t leave a room. I just don’t understand some of the rules as far as we can sweat 48 minutes with the guy next to us and the team next to us, but we can’t talk to him after the game. It makes no sense." As American citizens continue to wait their turn in the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine, many major cities like Los Angeles are facing new lockdown measures. Hospitals nationwide have been at capacity and some are even turning away non-COVID patients who have suffered strokes, heart attacks, and other serious ailments. Yesterday, it was announced that because of COVID's rising numbers, several NBA games have been postponed. Hill was met with mixed reviews after his statement circulated and many people agreed with him. Check out a few reactions below. [via] View the full article

After years of supporting his good friend Donald Trump's political aspirations and decisions, talk show legend Geraldo Rivera is backtracking on his support. Throughout Trump's tenure as America's Commander-in-chief, Rivera was often seen defending Trump's word choices, actions, and controversial behaviors, but after the November election, Rivera said that his friend was acting like an "entitled frat boy" following Trump's loss. On Tuesday (January 12), after House Republican Liz Cheney openly called for President Trump to be impeached, Rivera echoed her sentiments in a statement he released on Twitter. "A loyal friend, hounded without mercy by Democrats intent on destroying him from Day 1. Then he lost the election. It made him crazy or revealed a dysfunction I had refused to see. He then unleashed a mob to make war on their own government. 5 to their doom. @LizCheney is right." Rivera was quickly criticized by many over his sudden revelation while others took issue with the media professional's belief that Trump has only made questionable decisions after the election because it "made him crazy." This is one in a growing list of defectors who have spoken out against the president after last week's insurrection at Capitol Hill. We previously reported that Vice President Mike Pence has refused to invoke the 25th Amendment, so the impeachment process will move forward. View the full article

The polite discussion on the I Am Athlete podcast turned heated after former NFL stars Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson and Brandon Marshall got into an intense exchange. As they were speaking about their professional careers, the topic of overall wellness and preparedness for the field came up and Marshall mentioned to Johnson that his love for fast food may have hindered his play. Gregory Shamus / Stringer / Getty Images "You keep talkin' 'bout McDonald's and all that, but I truly believe sleep [and] nutrition is the biggest x-factors," said Marshall. Johnson disagreed. Marshall added, "Bro, you could have played 20 years! You played 11, 12 years." Johnson retorted, "I f*cked up, period. I wouldn't have played." Then Marshall criticized Johnson's numbers in his last season with Cincinnati but Ochocinco was adamant that his "numbers were great." The two men increasingly yelled at each other—with Johnson even calling his friend an "idiot"—as Ochocinco stated that his last season with Cincinnati wasn't a stellar performance because of the "opportunities" he was given. "That's the way it works, they work you out the system," said Johnson. He argued that because he "f*cked up," he was being phased out of his team into retirement. Marshall seemed to contest that this wasn't necessarily the case, causing Johnson to grow increasingly agitated. Chris Graythen / Staff / Getty Images Marshall continued to argue that had Ochocinco made better lifestyle choices, he would have retained longevity in his career, while Johnson was steadfast that his troublesome personal life is what caused his career to flounder. They ended their argument with a laugh, so check out the full episode below or catch their back-and-forth near the end of the video. View the full article

They often playfully tease one another on social media in loving posts about their relationship, but Jamira Haines, also known as 50 Cent's girlfriend Cuban Link, was flying solo on Instagram in a recent set of photos. Rihanna and Co. have often sought out some of the world's hottest models, influencers, and artists to pose in Savage x Fenty's sexy lingerie, and Cuban Link has tossed her hat in the ring with this latest photoshoot. Leon Bennett / Stringer / Getty Images Fif's leading lady shared two pictures from the shoot where she's seen wearing a brown two-piece under a cream-colored suit jacket. "Big business minus the business suit," she wrote in the caption. Unsurprisingly, there were thousands of reactions to her sultry look and certainly no objections from her rap mogul boyfriend. Last year, the Power producer spoke about his budding relationship with the law student-slash-fitness trainer. Early on in their relationship, he had them perform a vision board exercise to map out their goals. "For 30 days, I [told her], 'Send me a picture of something you want,'" said Fif. "Then after the 30 days, I did the same. At the end of it, we put the two vision boards together and talked about the things that don’t match up. It sparked conversations that we probably wouldn’t have gotten to randomly, and it was easier for us to express it because it's so early." For Christmas, he dropped a few stacks on a Benz truck for Haines, so maybe it's true love. Check out Jamira's Savage x Fenty look as well as a few other shots from her Instagram page.

Brooklyn's very own Nyck Caution is preparing for the unveiling of his album Anywhere But Here this Friday (January 15), and to hype its release, he's shared his single "Bad Day" featuring Florida's Denzel Curry. The pair of emcees deliver hard-hitting bars over a head-bobbing beat courtesy of Charlie Heat. Anywhere But Here will reportedly feature guest appearances by Joey Bada$$, CJ Fly, KOTA The Friend, Erick Arc Elliott, theMIND, Elbee Thrie of Phony Ppl, Maverick Sabre, Alex Mali, GASHI, Erick Arc Elliott, and Jake Luttrell.

The 2021 Grammy controversy haunts the Recording Academy, and while they've faced criticism over their choice of nominees this year, Royce Da 5'9" is excited about his mention. The Detroit rapper's project The Allegory received a nod for Best Rap Album and Royce spoke about his inclusion while chatting with Ebro Darden on The Message. Jamie McCarthy / Staff / Getty Images The outspoken emcee isn't usually one who is at a loss for words, but the Grammy nomination hit hard after it made him reevaluate his stance on the award ceremony. “It feels cool," said Royce on the Apple Music series. "I’m not going to lie, man, I’m a little bit embarrassed because I’m one of those guys that was like, ‘F*ck the Grammys.’ And [now] I’m totally like, ‘I’m f*cking with the Grammys this year.'” Now that he is an insider of sorts due to his nomination, Royce's viewpoint shifted because he was able to see how he came across in previous years as he criticized the show. “It’s an opportunity to put some things in perspective," he added. "When I see other artists complain about being snubbed, I look at it and go, ‘That’s how I was looking. I was looking like that.’" From this point forward, Royce said he is committed to being happy for his fellow entertainers as to not come across as bitter or judgmental. Elsewhere, Royce spoke about Black artists and how fame has impacted their careers, especially those who have been in the industry for some time. The rapper used Lil Wayne as a reference, mentioning Weezy's previous controversial stance on socio-economic issues in America. “Lil Wayne, I heard come out of his mouth in an interview that racism doesn’t exist,” Royce stated. “Being famous early for a Black person is crippling.” Check out his interview with Ebro on The Message below.

For people who have been keeping up with Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, you'll remember the infamous moment when Ray J shoved Princess Love and she fell into a pool. At the time, the couple was dating and Princess had grown increasingly frustrated with her boyfriend's partying antics. Their on-again-off-again relationship was taking a toll, so they decided to have a nice dinner for two, set next to a pool. An argument escalated and in the end, Ray gave his girlfriend a push that sent her swimming. Emma McIntyre / Stringer / Getty Images On a recent episode of Love & Hip Hop Unlocked, Ray J and Princess revisited their unfortunate moment. "That was my karma though because I was upset because I feel like he set me up and I tried to push him in so, that was my karma," said Princess. The reality star was asked what she meant by feeling set up, and Princess explained that she felt as if the singer was initially nice to her to get in her good graces before showing his other side. The current status of their marriage remains unclear as they've gone back and forth with divorce proceedings and Ray J was reportedly seen kissing a Bad Girls Club star. Check out the clip from Love & Hip Hop Unlocked to hear Princess explain her karma and to see the moment Ray dodged getting himself dunked. View the full article

They're two of the most successful and admired rap moguls in the game, but their catalogs have once again been pitted against each other. Recently, we reported on FatBoy SSE weighing in on Drake and Jay-Z's influence as he stated that Drizzy was a bigger artist than Hov. Years ago, reported reference tracks for Drake surfaced and caused controversy for the OVO rapper, and in a recent interview, Funk Flex stated that Drizzy would be the greatest rapper of all time had that not happened. Amy Sussman / Staff / Getty Images "He's too versatile, his melodies, he has the bars, and he had the songs," Flex said while on Million Dollaz Worth of Game. "If those reference tracks had never happened, Drake would have been my favorite artist of all time." He was asked if that was his choice over Jay-Z. "He would have surpassed Jay-Z in my book. If there was no reference [tracks]." He was repeatedly questioned and Flex doubled down that he believes Drake is better than Jay-Z, but "the reference tracks changed me." Elsewhere he spoke about Drake's infamous 2009 Hot 97 freestyle where the rapper was criticized for not memorizing his lines or spitting bars off the top of his head. "You know that freestyle where Drake's reading off the Blackberry? Imma tell you a story to that I never told nobody," said Flex. "Me and Drake, we practiced that verse in the room already. He didn't need the Blackberry because we practiced in the room with no Blackberry. So, when the camera came out, he pulled out the Blackberry," he said. "You wanna know why? Because as a rapper, if you look at a guy with a Blackberry you go, oh, he must have wrote those words." "He already knew the words when me and him were practicing in the room," Flex continued. "'Oh, the camera's out? Let me show you this Blackberry as if I wrote these rhymes.' He didn't write those freestyle rhymes on my show! I knew he didn't write it." Watch Drake's 2009 freestyle above and check out clips form Flex's interview below. View the full article

After delays and a COVID-19 diagnosis, the Verzuz between Ashanti and Keyshia Cole will finally go down. This is a matchup that was first introduced back in July when Keyshia playfully pressed Ashanti about appearing on the hit online series, and after much speculation, the date was booked for mid-December. Fans of both award-winning singers were ready to join with millions of others as they all sang along to Ashanti and Keyshia Cole hits, but at the last minute, Ashanti revealed that she had been diagnosed with coronavirus. Another date was put on the books but alas, that, too, was rescheduled before Verzuz shared that they would take a break from hosting in-person events in an effort to keep participants safe. Now that they're looking to return to hosting each singer in separate locations, Verzuz has announced the latest date for the Ashanti v. Keyshia Cole pairing and it's happening in just a few weeks. "RAIN, SLEET, HAIL, SNOW LET'S GO," the caption reads in a post on the Verzuz Instagram Page. "Join us Thursday, January 21st as we kick off the first #VERZUZ of 2021 with @Ashanti and @KeyshiaCole. Thank you everyone for being patient with us. We can't wait for this magical night with Keyshia and Ashanti! Tune in Thursday, January 21st, 5PM PT / 8PM ET. Watch on our IG or in HD on @AppleMusic." Some fans won't believe it until they see it, but we have faith that Verzuz has everything under control. Will you be tuning in? View the full article

Many detractors of President Donald Trump weren't expecting Vice President Mike Pence to move forward with invoking the 25th Amendment, and now Pence has confirmed his refusal. Following last week's insurrection at the Capitol, House Democrats have called for Trump to be impeached while others have pressured Pence to have Trump removed from office. In a reported letter to Nancy Pelosi, Pence stated that the 25th Amendment was set in place for incapacity or disability and was not to be used as a form of punishment. "I did not yield to pressure to exert power beyond my constitutional authority to determine the outcomes of the election, and I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our nation," he wrote in the note. The New York Times reported that in a previous meeting between Trump and Pence, things became heated as the two argued over the Electoral College votes and certification of President-Elect Joe Biden. “You can either go down in history as a patriot or you can go down in history as a p*ssy," Trump allegedly told the Vice President according to two people briefed on the discussion. As Pence was hiding in the basement of the Capitol building with members of Congress as the domestic terrorists invaded, Trump tweeted his disappointment in his running mate. "Aides said Mr. Pence did not want to become a long-term nemesis of a vindictive president, and by Monday he was back in the West Wing," the outlet reported. [via][via] View the full article

In November 2020, 28-year-old writer and singer Raegan Sealy shared a blog post where she claimed she was sexually assaulted by former prosecutor and famed criminal justice reform advocate, Adam John Foss. Sealy reportedly stated that she was allegedly sexually assaulted in Foss's hotel room and later, in a statement to the Boston Globe, she claimed that other women had come forward to share their stories. Craig Barritt / Stringer / Getty Images Immediately following the allegations, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office launched an investigation into the matter, and while that is ongoing, John Legend has come forward to publicly denounce his relationship with the disgraced attorney. "In 2015 we (@freeamerica , @tystiklorius and I) helped elevate Adam John Foss and the concept of progressive prosecutors," Legend tweeted on Tuesday (January 12). "I later learned that he used his platform to harm women." “He used my name and association to gain credibility, and while we are committed to a world where people’s lives aren’t defined by their mistakes, it’s unacceptable to use one’s power and influence to harm women,” added Legend. “We are so sorry to all of the women he has harmed.” Craig Barritt / Stringer / Getty Images It doesn't look as if Foss has publicly responded to the allegations against him, nor has he addressed Legend's tweets.

After remarks made during an interview went viral, Lana Del Rey is clarifying her stance on America's current political unrest. The award-winning singer recently sat down with BBC Radio 1 to chat about her Chemtrails Over The Country Club project, and during the discussion, she was asked about the insurrection at Capitol Hill last Wednesday (January 6). She spoke at length about the topic, but one snippet captured the attention of the masses and soon became the focal point of the interview. Erik Voake / Stringer / Getty Images "The madness of Trump—as bad as it was, it really needed to happen," said the singer. "We really needed a reflection of our world’s greatest problem, which is not climate change but sociopathy and narcissism. Especially in America. It’s going to kill the world. It’s not capitalism, it’s narcissism." Elsewhere she added, "You know, he doesn’t know that he’s inciting a riot and I believe that" because of his ego and "delusions of grandeur." Soon, multiple media outlets picked up the quote, and Lana was criticized for her remarks, but after seeing Complex's coverage, she specifically took issue with the outlet because of their reported longstanding relationship. "OK complex not that our 10 year relationship matters I guess Thanks for the cool soundbite taken out of context," Lana tweeted. "I said that the bigger problem is Sociopathy-so whether he meant to incite a riot is less important than the larger issue in America at hand -the problem of sociopathy." She added that she voted for Biden and continued to defend her full "liberal" statement. She called out major media outlets who also reported on the story. You can check out Lana's tweets, as well as a video of her explaining her remarks, below. [via] View the full article

Following her glowing Instagram posts where she posed beachside while wearing a golden wrap-around bikini, Mary J. Blige continued her birthday celebration. The Queen of Hip Hop-Soul turned 50-years-old yesterday (January 11), and by the looks of a video clip, Mary turned up with some of her friends. Details regarding her celebration remain scarce, but a clip of Blige posing for a photo with Tyrese has gone viral after she made sure the actor kept his hands to himself. In the video, Blige and Tyrese have their arms around one another as they posed for a photo. Tyrese, who has been lamenting over his recently announced divorce, is spotted with a grin as he diverts attention to the singer. Mary is seen wearing a high-slit dress and is showing off her toned legs, but when Tyrese attempted to touch her thigh for the picture, Blige was having none of that. The singer's face said it all but Blige quickly shifted back into smiling for the cameras. Fans couldn't help but compare the moment to her Power character, so check out the clip below.

Snoop Dogg and Eminem entered 2020 with some rising tension between them. If you recall, it began during Snoop Dogg's interview on the Breakfast Club where he excluded Em from his top 10, though his tone rubbed the Detroit MC the wrong way. December rolled around and it seems that no one was entirely thinking about that comment except for Em. The rapper returned with the deluxe edition/Side B to his 2020 project, Music To Be Murdered By that included a quick shot at Snoop on the song "Zeus." "And, as far as squashin' beef, I'm used to people knockin' me But, just not in my camp And diplomatic as I'm tryna be Last thing I need is Snoop doggin' me Man, Dogg, you was like a (Yeah) damn god to me Nah, not really (Haha) I had "dog" backwards But I'm startin' to think, all these people takin' shots at me" Snoop Dogg later fired back with a quick word under an Eminem stan account where he simply warned that they, along with Eminem, should pray that he doesn't respond. Later on, he previewed a song that many perceived as a possible subliminal towards Eminem. There's been little mention of this boiling feud between the two legends and protegees of Dr. Dre in recent times. In fact, because of Dre's recent hospitalization, many figured that this would become a moment that could bring the two rappers together. It's unclear whether Dre's health scare was the reason but Snoop Dogg appears to have confirmed that it's all water under the bridge between himself and Eminem. A fan shared a photo with Dre, Snoop, and Eminem from the 90s with the caption reading, "I wonder what changed." And though that also became a thought that ran through many people's minds over the past few weeks, Snoop offered an update on the situation. "Nothing we good," he wrote in the comments along with a flexing emoji. It doesn't seem like we'll be hearing from Snoop Dogg or Eminem go at each other's necks any time soon.

You never quite know what you're going to see on Blueface's social media. Recently, the rapper treated his viewers to clips from his Bad Girls Club-inspired series as he had several women move into his home where he hosted boxing matches. Blueface has also been busy developing his new artist and showing her off to the world, but when he decided to post videos of his night out at the strip club days ago, people couldn't believe Instagram allowed his explicit content. Aaron J. Thornton / Stringer / Getty Images When Boosie Badazz found himself on the wrong side of the IG Gods for his racy content, his profile was swiftly deleted. It looks as if Blueface suffered the same fate after his dedicated fans went to check his page and found that it had mysteriously disappeared. In his lengthy Instagram Story, Blueface and a few of his friends were in a crowded space as several strippers danced. In some clips, many of the men are seen pulling at the women's clothing and showing their genitals on camera, and soon, viewers screen-recorded the scene, shared them to Twitter, and questioned why the display was allowed. The hit to his Instagram has to be painful, considering that Blueface amassed over 7 million followers. It's expected that he'll be back in business sooner than later. Of course, we can't share the screencaps of his strip club experience here, but it isn't difficult to find. View the full article

It's January, all. And while many have looked forward to 2020 coming to an end, we were told that we'd be welcomed into the new year with CLB, the upcoming album from Drake. There were promises of its arrival last year but obviously, a pandemic pushed those plans back further. A trailer released in October indicated that we would be able to expect the album this month. Kevin Winter/Getty Images No word from the OVO captain on when we could expect it but everyone is banking on a release date for the end of the month. Meanwhile, the rapper has offered a look into his pandemic life as he records. Martine Rose's one-time digital experience "What We Do All Day" "documents the pandemic life and the styles we could wear to endure it." The digital experience takes you to Tokyo, Nairobi, and many other places including Toronto where you can find Drizzy lounging in his recording studio. The rapper is seen in the studio wear he's picking up poker chips off of the mixing board. A photo of him in front of the microphone, with a few bottles of Just Water, a candle, and an ashtray by his side. Drake is obviously zoning in and working hard to come through with Certified Lover Boy. Are you excited for Drake's new project? Check it out here. View the full article

Many critics of President Donald Trump have irresponsibly grouped his supporters into one specific category as memes about the types of people who stand by America's leader have circulated since he took office. However, Trump supporters come from varying backgrounds that include Olympic gold medalists like Klete Keller. The 38-year-old competitive swimmer boasts wins in the 2000, 2004, and 2008 Summer Olympics, but after a video surfaced showing him among the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol last Wednesday (January 6), people are calling for him to be stripped of his medals. According to the New York Times, Keller was identified by his former coaches and teammates because, in the video of him alongside dozens of others inside of the Capitol, the swimmer is seen wearing his Olympic team jacket with the "USA" patch. Keller has yet to respond to the controversy, but the public believes that his medals should be taken from him. As there have been calls for Trump to be impeached, Republicans who opposed the election results to be charged, and domestic terrorists to be arrested, no one involved in this incident on the capital is being spared from judgment. For the past three years, Keller was reportedly employed at a Colorado real estate firm who confirmed that he's resigned "effective immediately." Check out a few reactions below.

There was once a time when Meek Mill and Ethika were extremely tight. The rapper's done a few collaborations with the underwear brand including a Championships style briefs. They've even worked together for charity work. On their website, they even refer to him as a "key member of the brand" that "has helped take our music program to the next level." However, it seems that things have since changed. "I wanna address a issue with some of my friends and white owners who actually build companies with the black culture," he said after calling out Ethika Music and Ethika underwear. It's unclear where Meek went on to address the issue on Clubhouse as he mentioned in the tweets but it appears as if these issues continued to bubble without any resolution. He took to Twitter earlier today here he publicly denounced the company, even suggesting that he's willing to fight them in court if it comes to that. "Matt cook has to be taken to court by the black culture!!!!!! #ethika I have sooooooo much to say about this company and the way the play with the black culture," he tweeted. "I have every screen shot of what I’m talking about I don’t care for lawsuits and money it’s the respect point!!!!!! And we gone show how much we matter!!!!" Meek then turned to Instagram where he appeared to accuse Cook of trying "to put blacks on blacks" before summoning 21 Savage to chime in with his own experiences dealing with the underwear company. "Matt call who you want if you dealt with him or was cheated by him please join room," Meek said on IG, adding that the conversation will take place on Clubhouse following their Bitcoin culture currency chat. "21 Savage come speak about him offering you a dirty bike for a deal thinking you a n#%*er!!!! We gone get some respect right!!!" Check out Meek Mill's post below. View the full article
