J Balvin is one of the biggest stars in music right now. He is an international superstar and his songs have become massive hits around the world. His influence is palpable and over the last couple of years, he has been looking to make an impact when it comes to sneakers. For instance, Balvin came out with his very own Air Jordan 1 which was known for loud colors and interesting cut-outs.

Now, Balvin is back with an Air Jordan 2 that takes a bit of a more subtle approach. In the official images below, you can see how this shoe is mostly light blue, all while delivering some glow-in-the-dark details. 

Thanks to the Instagram post above, we now know that this shoe is going to be dropping on September 15th. Originally, there was no release date for this shoe, and sneaker sleuths were trying to figure out when a release would make sense. Now, it is confirmed that these will be dropping just in time for the Fall season.

Ma$e Responds To Fivio Foreign’s Claim About $5000 Advance

Ma$e finally issued a response after Fivio Foreign claimed that he inked a deal with the former Bad Boy artist for $5,000. During a recent interview on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, Fivio explained that he felt pressured into signing the contract with Ma$e, which he suggested created even bigger headaches afterward.

“The n***a that brought me to him, he was like, ‘Yo, man. Just sign that shit. You buggin’,’” Fivio recalled. “I thought that shit was going to last until whenever it was going to last. That shit ain’t last two weeks.”

However, Ma$e explained why that claim wasn’t entirely accurate. Calling Fivio’s claims “reckless,” he explained that he gave $5,000 at once but scored the Brooklyn drill artist a $750K bag later on.

“At one time, I gave him $5,000, but I gave him $750,000… because I set him up to do a deal to where I can control the deal, make the deal what it should be because I knew if he had the leverage, he would go in there and sell both of us out,” he said. “Then, when we went in the building, I took $800,000 and he took $700,000. The reason why it went down to $700,000 is that when I gave him $750,000 and I took $750,000, he owed me $50,000,” he added, claiming that he took the additional $50K to recuperate certain expenses.

Prior to the release of the latest episode of Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, Ma$e referred to himself as “Diddy 2.0” in response to Fivio’s claims. Check the full episode out below. 

Deshaun Watson Suspension Elicits Outrage

Deshaun Watson is a controversial figure right now. After being accused of sexual assault by over 20 women, Watson came out and denied all of the allegations. Having said that, he has settled the vast majority of the lawsuits that were brought his way, and today, he was officially suspended for six games by the NFL.

This is a decision that has created quite the stir amongst fans and media members. This is mostly because it is quite comical for someone to be suspended six games after being hit with nearly 30 sexual assault accusations. Not to mention, Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley was suspended for a full season after betting on NFL games, which is a much lighter offense in every way possible.

In the Twitter reactions down below, you can see just how frustrated fans and media members were with this decision. Ridley was on the top of everyone’s minds, and when you see the comparisons between him and Watson, you will immediately understand why the outrage is so palpable right now.

“Calvin Ridley got a whole year for betting 1,500 on a Fanduel parlay in a game he didn’t play in but deshaun watson getting 4-8 games for 30 SA allegations,” one fan wrote. Meanwhile, reporter Dov Kleiman made an interesting observation, saying “Calvin Ridley made a bet that his team will win a game in the NFL. He got suspended indefinitely, through at least the entire 2022 season and possibly more. He also lost $11.1 million in salary. Deshaun Watson meanwhile received 6 game suspension, he’ll only lose less than $1M.”
