Chicago hip-hop veteran Kanye West is giving fans another chance. He’s celebrating August 2 as “Yeezy Day,” and the rap legend is restocking the Internet with endless gold.

City Girls recently revealed that they are officially in album mode. One would expect that Yung Miami and JT would be in close contact while creating their highly anticipated follow-up to last summer’s City On Lock, but according to leaked text messages between the two femcees, they haven’t been communicating enough.
In a recent tweet, Yung Miami put her friend and close collaborator on blast by sharing their text messages, and in the screenshot, you can see that Yung Miami has repeatedly reached out to JT over text, questioning why she isn’t calling her or checking up on her. JT responds to her playfully by essentially telling her to chill out or by reassuring her that she will give her a call.
Many of her fans took the situation lightly by replying with a bevy of laughing emojis, but others took Yung Miami’s tweet as an opportunity to explore the City Girls rapper’s astrology chart. Several Twitter users pointed out that Yung Miami‘s text messages were the textbook definition of an Aquarius. Other fans were less worried about the City Girls rapper’s zodiac sign and were far more intrigued by Yung Miami’s phone battery and JT’s grammatical errors.
Check out the Twitter reactions to Yung Miami’s seemingly clingy tendencies below.
Kanye West has a massive week ahead of him as he is gearing up for the release of his latest album DONDA. There is no guarantee the album actually comes out this week although fans remain cautiously optimistic that he will, indeed, come through. Kanye is also one of the biggest influencers in the sneaker game, and his Yeezy brand has made him a multi-billionaire. With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that the artist is celebrating Yeezy Day with a plethora of new sneaker restocks.
Yeezy Day began at 7 AM EST this morning and fans were immediately blessed with a new pair of Foam Runners, as well as restocks of classic Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 and 700 colorways. For the most part, these colorways were all offerings that fans had been clamoring to have back, and for some lucky consumers, Yeezy Day turned into an event full of glee and new heat.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of sneakerheads weren’t so lucky. With the releases going down on Yeezy Supply and the Adidas website, would-be consumers ran into some massive issues as the websites were simply overrun by fans. It became extremely hard to grab anything, and in the end, bots got the better of the event leaving various fans confused and angered by their Ls.
What happened today is eerily reminiscent of what typically happens during Nike SNKRS drops. These events usually lead to frustration, and when it comes to Ye, fans shouldn’t have expected any of these shoes to come easy.

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea is done keeping fans waiting. The hip-hop star has announced her End of an Era studio album is finally arriving in the coming days.

LaVar Ball is easily one of the best promoters in the history of basketball, and it’s not even close. When Lonzo was in college, LaVar was making some wild claims about his oldest son’s talent and how he would be the next Magic Johnson. When it comes to LiAngelo and LaMelo, LaVar brought that same energy to the table, although in the case of LiAngelo, it never really manifested into anything. It was believed that LiAngelo would be drafted by the Lakers although it never came. From there, LiAngelo had a small stint with the Detroit Pistons, but that never manifested in anything either.
Since that time, LiAngelo has been looking for a new NBA home, preferably alongside one of his brothers. With Lonzo headed to free agency and LaMelo balling out on the Hornets, it was only a matter of time before a team would take a waiver on the middle brother.
Well, that’s exactly what has happened as it was revealed today by Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated that LiAngelo would be signing to the Charlotte Hornets’ Summer League team. Now, he will get to show off his talents in Vegas, and if he does a good enough job, he could be playing alongside his brother on the Hornets next season.
A LaMelo and LiAngelo partnership would be pretty amazing as it would mean more screen time for LaVar Ball at Hornets games. The Ball family patriarch knows how to get fans hyped up, and he would do a great job doing crowd control in Charlotte.
DaBaby has been in the music industry doghouse since making comments about HIV/AIDS at Rolling Loud last weekend. Usually, when somebody says something that’s met with wide and instant backlash, they realize the error of their ways and issue an immediate apology. Instead, DaBaby went more in the direction of digging his heels into the ground and lashing out at those who shared negative opinions about his actions.
Now, finally, over a week later, DaBaby has offered an apology. Sharing an image of text on social media, he wrote:
“Social media moves so fast that people want to demolish you before you even have the opportunity to grow, educate, and learn from your mistakes. As a man who has had to make his own way from very difficult circumstances, having people I know publicly working against me — knowing that what I needed was education on these topics and guidance — has been challenging. I appreciate the many people who came to me with kindness, who reached out to me privately to offer wisdom, education, and resources. That’s what I needed and it was received.
I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made. Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important. Love to all. God bless.
– DaBaby.”
In some respects, this apology came too late, as he has already been removed from the lineups of Governor’s Ball, Day N Vegas, and Lollapalooza.

It’s been a long time since Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Royce Da 5’9″, and KXNG Crooked — who were once famously united as Slaughterhouse — rapped on the same track. In fact, many have been clamoring for a full-scale Slaughterhouse reunion for years now, especially given that the group’s long-lost studio album remains tucked away in the Shady Records vault.
Though years have passed since the group’s disbandment, hope has yet to fade, and for good reason. Every so often, a member will throw out a little teaser of sorts, which in turn takes shape into something far bigger. For what it’s worth, Joell Ortiz and KXNG Crooked appear open to the idea, with the former having recently suggested a full-scale return to the booth. KXNG Crooked also opened the door with an open invite to his former group-mates, imploring them to reach out over the weekend.
Evidently, Joell and Crook’s suggestions may have been exactly what the doctor ordered. Crook confirmed that a Slaughterhouse phone call, albeit a fragmented one, did take place over the weekend. Though he didn’t discuss specifics, he did take a moment to update fans about how it all went down.
“Joell called me first, me and him chopped it up,” says Crook, while The Firm’s Dre-produced “Phone Tap” bumps in the background. “Then apparently Royce called Joe, they chopped it up. Joe called Joell, him and Joell chopped it up. Then Joell called me back. So that’s what happened. It’s Monday. I gave them until the weekend to make something happen. Did they do it? I’m kinda scratching my head like what does this mean?” He laughs. “Ya’ll tell me.”
Check out Crook’s recap of the Slaughterhouse sort-of reunion, and sound off if you think there’s even a slight chance that the mighty quartet will rise once again.
