Less than a week after announcing that they were expecting a baby together, husband and wife Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian shared a short clip of their gender reveal on Instagram….and they’re having a boy!
In the clip, Kardashian is sitting on the Blink 182 drummer’s lap as they engage with the crowd a bit before Travis launches into a short drum solo. As he dramatically hits a cymbal, blue confetti rains down from the sky announcing the couple’s baby’s gender.

The couple’s baby will be their first child together. Kardashian is already a mother to Mason, 13, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 8 (the father of all three is believed to be Scott Disick). Barker’s children include Landon, 19, and Alabama, 17, whom he had with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. The couple was married in 2022 in three ceremonies.
Social media users are claiming that Keith Murray has a drug problem. Murray has mentioned in the past how he dabbled with a variety of drugs. He made news this year when he alleged that he had sexual relations with rappers Foxy brown and Shawnna. Now video has appeared online of the Def Squad rapper appearing to be inebriated outside during the day time. Rapper Lord Jamar who previously had a back and forth with Murray posted the video to his Instagram.
Lord Jamar wrote:
Our brother @keithmurrayrap obviously needs serious help….I don’t have to see this man do drugs in front of me to know he’s on drugs. Dude crossed a line with me, that I believe if he wasn’t on drugs he wouldn’t have crossed, so I forgive him. We need to get our brother clean, cause this is a horrible look.
In a revealing Good Morning America interview, Victor Wembanyama, the highly anticipated NBA Draft prospect, opened up about his life beyond the basketball court.
Speaking with GMA co-anchor Robin Roberts, Wembanyama disclosed his second passion: drawing. The young basketball sensation expressed his love for art and revealed that if he hadn’t pursued a career in basketball, he would have dedicated his time to honing his artistic skills. This revelation offers a glimpse into the multi-dimensional talents and interests of the potential top overall NBA Draft pick.
“When I’ve got nothing to do, the first thing my mind is going to think about is grab a pencil and a sheet of paper and draw something,” Wembanyama said.
Entering the draft, it is all but declared that Wembanyama will join the San Antonio Spurs as the No. 1 overall pick. You can see the full interview below.
Meek Mill is ready to go. Hitting Twitter, the Dreamchasers leader revealed that he has two albums ready to go.
Tweeting on Father’s Day, Meek Mill stated he is working on a joint album with Vory before announcing the second one is a “collab album.” The joint album with Vory is set to feature Symba.
“It’s going to be a top tier rap album and a vibeeeee,” Meek wrote. “It’s a collab album from some Of your favorite artists on one super movie.”
This other album I got coming I can’t speak on (not the vory one) but it’s also gone be top tier rap album and a vibeeeee…. It’s a collab album from some Of your favorite artist on one super movie!!!!!!
Last Wednesday, asked fans if they think he “fell off.”
The Philly-based artist posted: “Who think I fell off or don’t really think I got it with rapping anymore?….I’m fr I need answers and tell the truth I’m not taking it personal … I need to hear how people think before I do what I do! A social experiment! Answer if you a supporter of mines!”
Who think I fell off or don’t really think I got it with rapping anymore?…. I’m fr I need answers and tell the truth I’m not taking it personal … I need to hear how people think before I do what I do! A social experiment!
Responses to the tweet were mixed with some users saying that he needs to adapt his music to be more in line with current artistic styles while others said that he should stay true to his original style and perhaps go deeper on subject matter now that he is older. A few cracked jokes about other alternative income streams such as selling feet pics.
One thing that many were in agreement on was the fact that the only way the question can be answered is with the release of new music. Meek released his last studio album, Expensive Pain, in 2021. The album debuted and peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart.
According to several reports, 16-year-old basketball star in Los Angeles was killed in a drive-by shooting outside of a nightclub in L.A.
Quincy Reese Jr. was gunned down outside of the 77 Lounge nightclub around midnight. after being dropped off to attend a birthday party with his teammates.
Quincy’s best friend, Chris Halton, retold the series of events, saying that Quincy was hit by the initial gunshots that sent the crowd outside of the venue to run for cover. Chris says that he didn’t see Reese get shot, but instead noticed that he wasn’t nearby after the crowd dispersed from the lounge.
There has been no conformation behind the shooting’s motive, but Halton says that the shooter(s) “were just trigger happy” and Reese was not the intended target.
According to his basketball coach, Reese was being scouted by at least 50 colleges with a 3.4 GPA. In addition to putting up buckets for Crenshaw High, Reese played baseball and ran cross country for the school.
So far, there have been no arrests and no suspects in the shooting.
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter in 2022, the platform has become known as somewhat of a lawless place with the loosening or removal of many prior restrictions on content and speech. However, the law has seemingly caught up to the lawless platform.
On Wednesday, Universal, Sony, Warner, and 14 smaller publishers filed a lawsuit against Twitter for at least $250 million over the alleged infringement of approximately 1,700 works. The lawsuit alleges that Twitter had been sent hundreds of thousands of takedown notices, most all of which were ignored. Twitter has also ignored requests to obtain the proper licenses for music and other forms of copyrighted intellectual property.
The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Tennessee, alleges that Twitter “consistently and knowingly hosts and streams infringing copies of music compositions” in an effort to “retain account holders and viewers” and “grow the body of engaging tweets” and ultimately, “fuel its business.”
Twitter is currently the only major social media platform that does not have some sort of music licensing agreement in place. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok all have entered into agreements with publishers that allow the platforms to legally host music, videos, and other copyrighted content. In return, the agreements specify that the platforms compensate the creators and/or publishers for use of their content. (Before Musk took over Twitter, several major publishers had been in talks with former CEO Jack Dorsey to set up a similar agreement in 2021).
According to Yahoo, in December 2021, the National Music Publishers’ Association, acting on behalf of the publishers, began sending formal infringement notices to Twitter on a weekly basis, according to the complaint. The company was notified of over 300,000 infringing tweets. The lawsuit alleges that most tweets were not removed and the accounts of repeat offenders were not penalized in any way. The lawsuit alleges that Twitter basically encouraged this type of activity by taking no action against offenders.
Previously, Elon Musk had tweeted that “current copyright law in general goes absurdly far beyond protecting the original creator,” suggesting that certain aspects of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) may go too far in overstepping its boundaries on social media.
Most major hip-hop artists are used to getting unsolicited feedback from their fans, but rarely do they actively ask for it. On Wednesday, however, Meek Mill did just that, taking to Twitter to ask fans if they think he “fell off.”
The Philly-based artist posted: “Who think I fell off or don’t really think I got it with rapping anymore?….I’m fr I need answers and tell the truth I’m not taking it personal … I need to hear how people think before I do what I do! A social experiment! Answer if you a supporter of mines!”

So far, Meek hasn’t responded to any replies. Perhaps he’s busy in the studio?
Last week, streetwear designer Don C and Set Free Richardson, teamed up to officially debut their collection at See/Know, SLAM’s official store in SOHO NYC. The capsule includes hoodies, tees, and a hat and celebrates basketball culture and the excitement of sports betting.
The event featured fully dressed mannequins, giveaways, music, a watch party (Game 3 of The Finals) and special guests (including Shameik Moore, voice of Miles Morales in the Spider-Man Spider-Verse series). While the collection was not for sale, a limited number of pieces were available to the public through giveaway opportunities via the storefront and DraftKings social channels.
The Crown Collection is part of a larger endeavor to contribute to basketball culture. Throughout the NBA season, DraftKings and creative agency The Revival House have driven the conversation around what makes hoops so special – dishing out original content in new spaces.

Because we human. We got emotions. I want everybody in here, if you don’t take nothing from today, man, I don’t care whatever you going through in life, listen man, find you a relationship with God!

Always forward-thinking and innovative, the Hewlett-Packard Company continues to find new ways to break the mold. HP recently collaborated with internationally renowned architect/designer Germane Barnes to unveil a very unique exhibit. Create What’s Next—a recycling-inspired, immersive art exhibit highlights HP’s ink and toner cartridge recycling program right ahead of World Environment Day.

HP and Studio Barnes held an exclusive viewing event at Studio525 in West Chelsea NYC featuring several movers and shakers in the industry. The young designer boasts an impressive architectural career that began at the tender age of 14-years old. From his uber-cool collaboration with Lexus to his Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America exhibit—Barnes has become a pertinent force in the architectural world. Determined to change the narrative black men face in Chicago, Barnes is a true motivator and gives back to his students at University of Miami often inviting them to collaborate on Studio Barnes LLC projects.

HP’s invite-only event to reveal ‘Create What’s Next’ featured a wall for guests to create and display their own designs and a cozy lounge. Keeping up with the recycled theme, light bites and refreshments were served from zero-waste, carbon-neutral caterer Purslane.
The Source got a chance to chat with the super humble Germane Barnes who shared his inspiration behind his new installation and chopped it up in one of his pods with 6-year old entrepreneur and future architect— Felicity of Felicity’s Seamoss. Check it out below,
I heard you grew up reading The Source Magazine—what was your favorite cover?
So when I was in high school, in 2001, this was right when ‘Ghetto Fabolous’ and Jay’s album the ‘Blueprint’ both dropped and I’ll never forget this day, The Source did a full spread and I think they gave Jay five mics and they only gave Fab four mics for what he had. And it’s funny because all I kept bumping was ‘Ghetto Fab’ and ‘Street Dreams’ and then one night I listen to Blueprint and I fell asleep and I woke up and I heard ‘Breathe Easy’ and I realized this was the added bonus record at the end that’s how long I’ve been reading The Source and a part of hip hop culture as a kid from Chicago.
If you had to design a sculpture for any MC who would it be?
Ooh that’s tough! Kid Cudi. So Cudi is one of my favorite artists because music speaks to you at certain points in your life. And when I was in grad school living in LA …not having enough money to even have food to eat…. so I could have money to learn how to design and have materials. Cudi’s ‘Man on the Moon 2’ got me through grad school. That’s what I think about the moodiness of the work…that was it.
How did this collaboration come about?
So I have a good friend Dejha Carrington that knows the Edelman PR team and they were looking for a different type of artist and she knew me based off the work that I do. She approached me and I told her I want to put people inside of an ink cartridge and them not know they are inside of an ink cartridge and that’s the entire installation.
How did HP get involved?
HP was Edelman’s client and they said, ‘Here’s our materials, what can you imagine with our materials?’ and I said, ‘Oh I can make a hula hoop out of the pellets, I can make a bench out of the shreds, I can make a chandelier out of discarded plastics and I’ll put them inside of these lit up pods.’ And I didn’t tell them I was making music videos because they wouldn’t have gotten it. When they saw it they said, ‘Oh it looks like a music video’ and I said ‘you got it’. The blue one was my ode to ‘Belly’ and Hype (Williams)… we were standing on top, we had the bubble lens…Definitely an ode to him.
What advice would you give future architects and designers like 6-year old Felicity who adores this installation?
When I was her age all I did was draw. One of the things I wished was told to me is there’s nothing wrong with being creative and every chance you get…have fun. The moment the drawing and the music and the building stops being fun you’ve lost something. It’s always fun to me. Everything I design, I design as if younger me would enjoy it. That’s why there’s hula hoops, there’s light sculptures… because I think would my younger self be ok with the stuff I make? And if it’s yes then I’m successful.
What does it take to make it in this field?
Being black in these spaces is hard as hell and you don’t get a lot of opportunities. It requires a certain amount of bravery to stay true to yourself and to do the stuff that makes you happy. So that blue pod is my way of saying regardless of what happens in this I’m gonna make my Hype Williams video.
Check out Barnes and Felicity’s photo/video shoot in Barnes infamous blue pod below.
