Month: June 2021

Grand Theft Auto V has never stopped earning money for Rockstar Games over the years and as a result, twelve years will reportedly pass before the next iteration of the beloved game. The world has been patiently waiting for news regarding the upcoming release of GTA 6, which has been teased for the last few years. A well-respected leaker in the video gaming community has officially hit us with some information about the upcoming release and it looks like we’ll all need to wait a little bit longer, with the game slated for release in 2025.

Tom Henderson provided an update to his followers after having previously leaked information about the new Call of Duty and Battlefield games, hinting that we might be in for another three years of frustration as we wait for the next main-entry GTA game. Admitting that he’s heard rumblings over the last few months and that he’s not a go-to source for GTA news, Henderson said that the next game will have a Fortnite-like evolving map and will be set in a modern-day version of Vice City. 

Rockstar Games is reportedly waiting for video game consumers to get their hands on the new-generation consoles, like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, to maximize sales on GTA 6 before dropping. Since there’s still a heavy demand for consoles, which sell out before even hitting physical shops, we’re likely going to be waiting for a long time.

It’s worth noting that this information has not been confirmed by Rockstar Games, but it has been reported by a number of highly reputable gaming sources.

Check out what people have been saying about the rumors below.

Tyler, the Creator is fresh off the heels of releasing his latest studio album Call Me If You Get Lost. Already predicted to give the California native his best-selling opening week sales yet, the album is complete with features from the likes of Lil Uzi Vert, DJ Drama, 42 Dugg, NBA YoungBoy, and more. 

He hit the stage over the weekend (June 27) to perform “LUMBERJACK” at the 2021 BET Awards, which marked his first time performing at the ceremony. On the red carpet, he sported a bellhop-inspired look that coincided with his new aesthetic for the new era. He also donned a shiny, gold and diamond-encrusted bellhop chain that reportedly cost the rapper half a million.

TMZ reports that the chain, which he debuted at the BET red carpet and the “JUGGERNAUT” music video, cost a total of $500k. Extensive work went behind crafting the chain and pendant, which was done by celeb jeweler Alex Moss. The famed jeweler tells the publication that Tyler got in contact with him about 7 months ago to begin working on the piece, and it took him 4 months just to find the right colored diamonds for it. 

The publication furthers that Tyler gave Alex inspiration for what he wanted, and then they worked on fine-tuning the design together. The pendant is a bellhop carrying two suitcases, which literally looks like a mini Tyler. Check out the chain up close below. 

As for the meaning of the icy chain, Alex explains that Tyler didn’t disclose it with him as he wanted it to remain a mystery. The piece reportedly boasts 186 carats in diamonds, 60 carats in sapphires, plus 23,515 of the stones were hand-set. The suitcases on the pendant even open and close. For the work that went into curating the piece, it’s no wonder it carried such a hefty sticker price. 

Back in his IGOR era, the hitmaker purchased a pendant of his album and his wig-bearing alter ego. The piece was also made with a variety of different diamonds and of 18k gold. The “LUMBERJACK” rapper quite clearly enjoys the finer things in life.

Kodak Black and his artist Jackboy appear to have fallen out. The rapper and his Sniper Gang signee have been seemingly sneak-dissing one another on social media this week, continuing overnight as Jackboy refused to say anything unkind about the “Tunnel Vision” rapper. Kodak has taken a different route though, airing out all of his issues with the artist after seemingly having a disagreement about money.

After claiming to have made $1 million off of Jackboy, Kodak threw away some of that money in a symbolic move, taking a late-night boat ride and tossing $100,000 overboard. “I Broke You Off When Dem Fuck N***as Wouldn’t Give You A Dime,” wrote the rapper in his caption on Instagram, which many believe is targeted toward Jackboy. “I Ain’t Owe You Shit N***a I Just Wanted To See You Shine !!! Yeen Never Gave Me Shit N***a I Had My Own Grind !!!!”

He followed up the post with a photo of him posing behind the stacks of money, writing, “I Was Too Busy Showin Love I Ain’t See Da Signs , When You Needed Me Pussy I Came Thru Everytime , Whether You Was Right Or Wrong Fuck N***a I Was Riding …. But You Envied Me N***a In Da Back Of Yo Mind.”

Proving that he really doesn’t care about any of the money that he made from Jackboy, Kodak continued his childish moves this morning by sharing a video of himself stashing a thousand dollars into a toilet bowl and flushing the cash down the toilet.

Fans are upset about the situation, telling Kodak that he’s taking things too far by attacking his own artist. Atlanta rapper Trouble wants to see peace between the two, commenting on one of the posts, “Man yall n***az go make dat shit right! Real n***az go thru real shit! But who gon Be real enuff to drop dey pride first an admit wrongs.. I got thugluv for Boffa yall @1804jackboy @kodakblack.”
