We’ve seen certain pieces of art fetch ridiculous prices on the blockchain as NFTs this year, but perhaps the most outrageous art purchase has been made in the physical space. Italian artist Salvatore Garau has been making headlines all week after one of his pieces, an invisible sculpture called Lo Sono (I Am), sold for over $18,000. The sculpture is not evident– in fact, nobody can even see it. It’s fully invisible.
The 67-year-old artist broke down barriers in the art world by auctioning off a piece for thousands of dollars, despite the sculpture not even existing. Garau would certainly disagree that the piece is non-existent as he has explained that he views it as a sort of vacuum.
“The vacuum is nothing more than a space full of energy, and even if we empty it and there is nothing left, according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, that nothing has a weight,” he said to Italian outlet Diario AS. “Therefore, it has energy that is condensed and transformed into particles, that is, into us.”
The buyer of Lo Sono was not identified. The sale came with instructions on how to display the invisible sculpture in your private home, clarifying that it must be displayed in a roughly five-by-five-foot space free of obstruction. The buyer also got a certificate of authenticity.
“When I decide to ‘exhibit’ an immaterial sculpture in a given space, that space will concentrate a certain amount and density of thoughts at a precise point, creating a sculpture that, from my title, will only take the most varied forms,” continued the artist. “You don’t see it but it exists; it is made of air and spirit. It is a work that asks you to activate the power of the imagination, a power that anyone has, even those who don’t believe they have it.”
Would you pay $18,000 for a sculpture that’s not actually there?
Stephen A. Smith has always been known to get scoops while live on the air, and today was no exception. At one point during First Take today, Smith dropped the bombshell that six or seven teams are looking at acquiring Damian Lillard in the offseason. Among these teams are the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks, and even the Los Angeles Lakers. It was certainly some surprising news, and in the middle of the ESPN broadcast, Smith got even more Blazers-related insight.
In the Twitter clip below, Smith claims that a league source told him that the Blazers would be interested in Karl-Anthony Towns as he would be a great big man to place alongside Lillard. This seems like a very solid idea although as Smith was quick to mention, this was simply a comment made by a source close to the league’s operations.
“No need to corroborate! I said what I said. A well-connected league source simply texted me to say Karl-Anthony Towns would be a perfect fit with Dame in Portland. That’s all,” Smith tweeted.
The offseason is gearing up to be an exciting time for NBA fans and it looks like there could be a lot of interesting trades and signings. With this in mind, keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest updates from around the league.
2021 has been a tumultuous year for beloved couple Lil Baby and Jada Cheaves. Although they’ve had their fair share of individual successes in the past 6 months, they’re relationship hasn’t enjoyed the same stability. However, things seem to be taking a turn and Lil Baby may have secured himself a second chance with the influencer and entrepreneur. In a video taken last night, the couple appeared together at Pee Thomas’ big birthday event, and it’s clear Lil Baby is devoted to Jayda once again. The rapper held on to her tightly as they had photographs taken, even kissing her on the cheek while they stood. Both donned wide smiles Lil Baby, real name Dominique Jones, embraced her amongst the crowd.
Their relationship seemed to be going great last year, and the couple quickly became a favorite in the hip-hop scene. Social media was flooded with images of the expensive items the couple gifted each other– everything from pink Jeeps to expensive Richard Millie watches. Jones even called Cheaves “the one” in September of last year.
However, a string of cheating rumors forced the couple into a toxic separation. The first of said rumors came from adult film actress Miss London, who tweeted that she had slept with the rapper for money. Jones confronted the actress aggressively over twitter DMs, though that wasn’t the last rumor of unfaithfulness to arise. Teanna Trump, another adult film actress, suggested to Jayda that she had slept with Baby in a series of mean-spirited tweets. These rumors erupted in a firestorm of tweets in which Jayda was the one hurt the most.
However, last night’s video as well as a string of other appearances in the past few weeks may point to a reunification of the couple, at least, this is what the fans are speculating. This couldn’t come at a better time for the wildly successful rapper who dropped the joint project The Voice of the Heroes with Lil Durk just today.
Do you think Jayda should give Lil Baby a second chance? Let us know.

At long last, Lil Durk and Lil Baby have finally delivered their highly anticipated joint album The Voice of the Heroes, and the scorching 18-track project features guest appearances from Young Thug, Rod Wave, Meek Mill, and Travis Scott.
Fans have had a lot to say about the 4PF and OTF artists’ official team-up, and now it looks like there will be even more to talk about, considering that one of the NBA’s biggest stars was reportedly heavily involved in helping The Voice of the Heroes see the light of day.
According to AllHipHop, James Harden is listed as the executive producer for The Voice of the Heroes. Even considering James Harden and Lil Baby‘s heavily documented friendship, the news that Harden played a major role in one of the biggest Hip-Hop releases of the year is still extremely surprising.
“From the beginning, I’ve had a passion for basketball, and music has always went hand and hand with it,” James Harden states while speaking on his involvement in The Voice of the Heroes. “It drives me on the daily to continue to be the best at what I do, to always strive for more. I see that same passion in Lil Baby & Lil Durk and can honestly I say I’m a true fan. The initial idea was to get the two together to make a few songs. But with their work ethic and undeniable talent here we are.”
“From late nights in my studio in Houston, the two of them being by my side as I transitioned from Houston to New York it was truly an honor to watch them in their element,” The Brooklyn Nets guard continues. “Countless hours in the studio watching them create was an absolute privilege, to say the least. They put the same work & dedication into their craft as I do. Leaving all-night studio sessions going straight to practice with the songs they made gave me a newfound motivation. The Voice & The Hero two killers at the top of their game the collaboration only seemed right. I just hope the same impact they have on me, they have on world.”
At the start of the 2020-2021 NBA season, James Harden infamously ditched the Houston Rockets in order to party with Lil Baby and celebrate his birthday in Atlanta. Plus, there was also a viral video that surfaced last year showing the rapper and basketball player in the studio, and James Harden looked extremely enthusiastic while listening to the 4PF rapper preview an unreleased track.
Now, The Voice of the Heroes arrives amidst Harden’s latest playoff run, and this year, the new Brooklyn Nets star has a great opportunity to get his first ring. We probably won’t see videos of Harden hitting the club with Lil Baby until after his playoff journey is over, but in the meantime, the Nets guard has taken to Instagram to promote Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s latest project.
James Harden now joins the ranks of NBA players like LeBron James and Ja Morant, who have previously worked closely with artists like 2 Chainz and Moneybagg Yo, respectively. The sensational Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant recently served as the inspiration for Moneybagg Yo’s “Rookie of the Year,” and in 2019, LeBron famously served as executive producer for 2 Chainz’ fifth studio album Rap or Go to the League.

Anthony Davis has suffered numerous injuries throughout his career and it has called into question his ability to remain reliable. Last season, Davis battled through injuries but was able to remain in the Los Angeles Lakers lineup, which ultimately allowed them to win the NBA championship. This season, it was a much different story for Davis as he had to go through calf problems and even a groin injury in the postseason.
Last night, Davis tried to play for the Lakers in Game 6, however, he just wasn’t ready to play and as a result, he was taken out of the game just five minutes in. The Lakers went on to lose and after the match, Davis spoke about his injury issues and how he is fed up with some of the narratives surrounding him. Simply put, Davis knows the kind of player he is, and he has nothing to prove to the critics.
“I don’t have to prove nothing to anyone,” Davis said via USA Today. “I’m not going to prove anything to anyone. It doesn’t matter to me. The things that everybody are saying? It comes with the territory. When you’re a player of my caliber, guys expect things from you and are going to say things about you. Whatever their reason is, it’s my job to be on the floor. I know what I go through and what I play through and what my body goes through. The front office and coaching staff know. So I don’t need to prove anything to anyone that’s outside of this Lakers organization.”
Heading into the offseason, the Lakers have a lot to figure out although when it comes to Davis, he will have a lengthy opportunity to heal himself and get right for next year.

If you’ve spent any time in Los Angeles in the last year, you likely already have a good idea of who the BlueBucksClan is. Taking over the airwaves in California, Jeeezy Obama and DJ have been blowing up as the latest rap duo to make waves on the West Coast, working with Quavo, Lil Yachty, Hit-Boy, and others on their way to the top. Their latest album Clan Virus 2 has been doing numbers and the Clan has been making moves in other spaces as well.
On the latest episode of How To Roll, Jeeezy and DJ speak about their brand new weed strain, Clan Exotic, also telling us their favorite cannabis-fueled stories. Of the two, DJ is the designated stoner. Jeeezy doesn’t seem to be too into weed, despite having their own strain. Clowning his partner on the amount of flower he smokes, Jeeezy laughed at DJ smoking “every five minutes.” These days, DJ is pretty much only smoking his strain, but he used to be tapped into the high-THC count strains, like gelato and biscotti.
Watch the latest episode of How To Roll above to hear BlueBucksClan talk about their personal smoking habits, the first times they ever got high, their opinions on concentrates, and much more.

Fans of the Nike LeBron line have been treated to some pretty incredible shoes over the last year or so. In 2020, Nike paid homage to the 10-year anniversary of the Nike LeBron 7 by bringing out a plethora of dope classic colorways that fans have been yearning over for a decade. Now, in 2021, Nike is keeping this revival trend alive by bringing out classic offerings of the Nike LeBron 8 and the Nike LeBron 8 Low.

These colors fit the Miami aesthetic to a T and there is no denying that there are a whole lot of Heat fans out there who would love to get their hands on these.
While this shoe was supposed to come out on Friday, June 4th, the release has now been delayed to Monday, June 21st, through the Nike SNKRS App. Pairs will go for $180 USD, and we’re sure they will be highly sought after.
Late last month, Netflix’s dramedy series Master Of None returned to the streaming service after a four-year hiatus with a renewed focus on Lena Waithe’s character Denise and her partner, Naomi Ackie’s Alicia. As the series now focuses on the ups and downs of a single relationship rather than Aziz Ansari’s character Dev’s quest romance, the third season bears the subtitle Moments In Love.
The subtitle also applies to a new “live music experience” released today to promote the show, which features up-and-coming Black and queer R&B artists telling their stories of love. Included in the performance are Asiahn, a Los Angeles singer-songwriter who has written for the likes of Dr. Dre and Drake, Avery Wilson, who gained notice as a contestant on The Voice, Durand Bernarr, who’s sung backing vocals for Erykah Badu and The Internet, and Tiffany Gouché, a longtime industry vet whose musical family includes D Smoke and SiR, her cousins.
“Moments In Love” also includes a conversation between Waithe and neo-soul pioneer Maxwell. Shot at Winston House, the performance highlights the same sort of complex, unconventional love depicted in the show, making it a perfect pairing — and a fitting introduction to some of the most unique and talented rising stars in music.
Watch “Moments In Love” in love above and catch season three Master Of None streaming now on Netflix.
