These last couple of years have been huge for the Nike Dunk Low as the silhouette has seen a huge resurgence. Sneakerheads are starting to appreciate this sneaker again and it is easy to see why. It’s one of those models that will always stand the test of time and it also lends itself towards some incredible colorways. Both men and women have been receiving some new offerings as of late, and now, Nike has just unveiled the perfect women’s summer colorway.

This new model seen below is called “Sunset Pulse” and it truly brings out the “What The” vibes. The shoe is filled with pastel shades spanning from lavender to green to blue and to pink. There are also some more vibrant colors although those are reserved for the overlays that feature pops of color. Overall, these elements merge together to create a truly dope shoe that is going to liven up a lot of outfits this summer.

The shoe is slated to drop for $110 USD although a release date has not yet been announced. Be sure to keep your eyes open at your local retailer as these should be coming out sooner rather than later.

She’s been taking a few hits lately, but that hasn’t stopped Saweetie from pressing forward. The rapper’s explosive breakup with Quavo was a trending topic on social media and later, Kevin Samuels sat down with Joe Budden to explain why, on a scale of one to 10, he gave Saweetie’s looks a “six.” The Bay Area artist’s “Slow Clap” collaboration with Gwen Stefani wasn’t well-received by fans, and now, Three 6 Mafia’s Crunchy Black is weighing in with his opinions.

Black caught up with VladTV and spoke about Saweetie and Quavo’s break up, most notably the rumors that the Migos rapper had a Bentley he gifted to Saweetie repossessed. “Yeah, I thought they said that he sent the repo people to take the car back from the b*tch,” said Black.

“‘Cause he was smart enough to not cash out on that car. Do that lease sh*t. You know what I’m saying? So, he was smart to lease that car so he was able to send them over there and tell a b*tch, ‘Give my car back,'” Black continued. “And Saweetie, she—that’s a…she’s a typical b*tch. She’s a typical b*tch. Hoes always, and that’s the reason why, this part of this interview, I’m finna go in on these b*tches. Hoes always tryin’ to get somethin’ for nothin’. Listen to me: D*ck is more important than p*ssy at the same time. Hey, just as well as you can sell your p*ssy, I can go sell my d*ck.”

“Now, it’s just a difference from you selling yo p*ssy and tryin’ to whip it on a n*gga, but if I’m focused enough, I’mma whip this d*ck on a b*tch and she gon’ have to pay me for what I’m doing for her. That’s the reason why I’m sayin’ I’m pimpin’.” Black’s comments have been polarizing, as many men agree with him while ladies felt he was being disrespectful. Watch Crunchy Black explain his thoughts in full below and let us know your thoughts.

He has doubled down on his stance regarding the police-involved shooting death of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, and now DJ Envy has a few words for Cancel Culture. The Breakfast Club became a focal point in discussions regarding the case after host DJ Envy expressed that he believed the shooting was justified. Envy once again reminded the world that his father is a retired police officer and judging from Columbus, Ohio police officer Nicholas Reardon’s body camera footage, Envy sided with Reardon’s decision to shoot.

Dr. Umar Johnson visited The Breakfast Club earlier this week and passionately criticized those involved in the death of Ma’Khia, but Envy was unmoved in his position. He faced backlash across several social media platforms, but Envy addressed the controversy when he caught up with Page Six.

“The whole situation is tragic and it’s sad because that system failed that young lady. The fact that she’s out there fighting at sixteen with a grown woman,” said Envy. “The fact that the older man seen in the video would rather kick the girl on the ground and join the fight instead of stopping the fight, all these things come together and the system failed that girl and it is sad.”

“Everybody’s saying [the police] shoot first, but he possibly saved that [other girl’s] life,” he continued, restating his previous argument. “If she would’ve stabbed her, who knows if she would’ve lived. She could have got cut in the throat, in the face, we just don’t know what could happen.” Envy also spoke about Cancel Culture and the insults he received online, including comments that he doesn’t stand with the culture.

“It doesn’t hurt me…because people are mad about what’s going on and I’m mad and upset as well,” Envy said. “But I know who’s on my side and who’s not. I know who tries to help the community and who doesn’t. We sit here and raise money every year for organizations that fight against this. I help our community with financial freedom and learning about buying their own homes, and their own investment properties. So people can have financial freedom so they can use their own money.”

“We should be able to have a conversation and dialogue” added The Breakfast Club host. “I did not sexually assault somebody. I wasn’t racist to someone. I am just stating the facts, and what I see. I have had conversations with friends and celebrities who feel the same way, but they will not say so publicly because it is not a popular opinion and they are fearful of the backlash.”

LaMelo Ball had an incredible first half of the season and it was quite clear back in March that he would be the favorite to win rookie of the year. Unfortunately, he hit a massive setback as he fractured his wrist during a freak play that saw him land on his hand. At first, it was feared that LaMelo would end up missing the entire rest of the regular season. However, over the past few weeks, it has become increasingly clear that Ball is in a better position to return than some may have originally thought.

According to the Charlotte Hornets PR Twitter account, Melo has officially been listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. This mostly means he will be a game-time decision, although this also means he will certainly be coming back sometime this season, barring a major setback.

This is huge for the Hornets who are in a battle for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They could use all the help they can get and LaMelo would prove to be a player who would make all of the difference down the stretch.

Stay tuned for more news from around the NBA world as we will be sure to keep you informed.
