Known just as well for his Chef Curry monicker as his given name, Stephen Curry’s cooking nickname was brought to the world’s attention by Drake and cemented by one of the four-time Champion’s most divisive color blockings. Before the wave of rocking “Dad shoes” was regarded as trendy, the inspired Curry 2 “Chef Curry” was initially ridiculed for its simplistic all-white base and resemblance to the yard work-associated silhouette.

Advised by his agent and Warriors GM Bob Myers to not wear the colorway in Game 4 of the 2016 Finals due to concerns over past ankle injuries and the low cut of the UA Curry 2, Under Armour is now taking a moment seven years later to clap-back at the sneaker community’s mockery with a toasted twist on the former butt of many jokes.

Combining the renovated cushioning of the Curry Flow 10 with Curry’s second signature silhouette, the UA Curry 2 FloTro returns to the alienating cooking inspiration with a much more concentrated effort toward storytelling. Resembling the appearance of a marshmallow being roasted over a campfire, the once-blank white silhouette embarks on an aesthetic mirroring the burnt black film that collects around the fluffy white treat when exposed to flames for too long. Treating its forefoot to a fiery red to orange gradient , the jet-black speckling extends towards the silver metallic Under Armour branding placed along the mid-foot while orange and grey tones collect throughout the heel and tongue’s branded embellishments.

Scheduled to release next Sunday, April 1st at UA Brand Houses and online retailers, in the meantime enjoy official imagery of the UA Curry 2 FloTro “Chef Curry” below.

Latto found herself in hot water in 2021 when authorities caught her with a gun in her bag at LAX. However, she’s now a few steps away from having the charges dropped completely. According to TMZ, the “Lottery” rapper nearly completed the year-long diversion program after police charged with her carrying a loaded firearm and carrying a concealed firearm. Latto is to stray away from any firearms, complete a gun safety course, and perform 120 hours of community service. 

The “Big Energy” rapper began the program in April 2022. Now, it seems that she’s only weeks away from finally avoiding any charges attached to the alleged crime. However, Latto will have to appear in court for a hearing later next month. That’s when an official decision will be made if she met all of her conditions. At this point, it looks like Latto won’t face any time or any further punishment if the court feels like she pulled through on her end of the bargain.

Big Latto stirred up a storm after admitting to carrying a gun through LAX on Mello Buckzz’s “Boom Pt. 2,” where the Atlanta star raps, “I got locked up in the airport, god damn, forgot the gun.” Shortly after, the Internet questioned the rapper about the incident. She detailed the arrest, which she described as a mistake as she went through the airport. “Went to LAX w a loaded glock 17 in my Birk got locked & let out in a few hours,” she tweeted. “Booked a $75k jet to my show in Alabama & still made it on time.”

However, this wasn’t the first time she had a run in with airport authorities. She later explained another incident where she caught a case of mistaken identity in her hometown. “Nah that was in Atlanta,” Latto explained after a fan asked if her LAX arrest was the same as when a female cop tried to make her “cough hard.” She continued, “Lol I was profiled for “looking like” sum bitch that robbed a nigga… I’m not no robber man [laughing emoji]  jail is NOT for me btw.”

Just about everyone has something to say about Tekashi 6ix9ine today (March 22). The rainbow-haired rapper has been a controversial figure in Hip Hop since he first emerged on the scene. 6ix9ine has used trolling tactics to gain popularity, often roping his Rap peers into social media beefs. His court case also thrust him into infamy after he cooperated with federal authorities against his former gang associates. Instead of avoiding criticism, Tekashi was released from prison and faced It head-on. There were concerns about his safety, but he only taunted the masses about being outside without security. Things caught up with him.

In videos circulating online, 6ix9ine is seen on the floor of an L.A. Fitness restroom being attacked. There were at least two assailants, and one stomped the rapper in the ribs. It looked like 6ix9ine was also kicked or punched in the face. TMZ shared a photo of the rapper in the hospital being treated for his injuries. He hasn’t spoken on the assault, but Charlamagne Tha God has a bit to say on The Breakfast Club.

6ix9ine Antagonized The Public & His Peers

The radio station touched on Tekashi’s beatdown and even played a clip from his previous interview with The Breakfast Club. In it, 6ix9ine boasted about talking recklessly because he knew that no one could touch him. “I mean, you can’t escape the energy you put out there,” Charlamagne stated about the recent altercation. “You just can’t. You get what you ask for ’cause you been asking for it. You’ve been taunting people for years, telling people to come see you, SMD, inviting that violence to happen to you. Eventually, it will. Nobody is exempt. With security or without security, if you are a person who invites violence into your life, if you online saying what you gon’ do to people when you see them, are in interviews saying that. I guarantee you it’s just a matter of time.”

Although Charlamagne believes this event was expected due to 6ix9ine’s behavior, he doesn’t see it as an opportunity to poke fun. “I see a lot of people laughing, but this isn’t a time to laugh. This is a time to learn,” he said. “I even think about it—as reckless as I’ve been over the years, I’ve never invited violence into my life. I’ve never threatened to beat up an artist. Never told an artist come see me, not that I remember. But I still got punched in the face. I still had people attempt to run down on me in the streets.

Advice From Tha God

Before concluding, Charlamagne delivered some advice to artists. “I would advise a lot of y’all out there, don’t laugh at 6ix9ine, learn from 6ix9ine. ‘Cause a lot of y’all out here are making the same mistakes yourself and gonna meet the same fate.” Watch the Rumor Report on The Breakfast club above.

It might be a minute until 42 Dugg comes home. The Detroit rapper became one of the leading figures out of the buzzing Michigan rap scene over the past few years. However, just when he was high off of hit singles like “Maybach” and projects like Last Ones Left with EST Gee, he found himself behind bars. The rapper allegedly failed to report to serve a prison sentence and federal agents arrested him in Michigan. What’s worse is that authorities described his arrest as a multi-state operation that uncovered alleged documents in which he claimed to be a sovereign citizen.

Throughout the year since his arrest, there have been few updates surrounding 42 Dugg’s release. However, he continued to deliver a slew of singles to keep fans on their toes. He dropped off “Soon” in May 2022 then dropped, “IDGAF” a few months later. In between those singles, his presence was also felt through a slew of collaborations alongside Lil Baby and Yo Gotti. Unfortunately, things aren’t looking too great for him these days, and it might be a minute until he comes home.

42 Dugg Pleads Guilty

According to Detroit News, 42 Dugg recently pleaded guilty for possession of an illegal firearm, but it might come along with additional prison time. The rapper is reportedly staring down another five years behind bars. During his hearing, Dugg admitted to the court that he purposefully failed to show up to serve a six-month sentence for unlawful carry of a firearm. Unfortunately, it seems as though he could be adding years to that sentence, as well as a fine of $250K.

The rapper initially caught a felony firearm possession in 2020, though he later posted bond. During the time he was free, 42 Dugg allegedly purchased a home in Georgia worth $1.4M that came with 6,500 square footage. It’s an unfortunate incident that should serve as a cautionary tale for other rappers who are beginning to get themselves out of the streets. We’re hoping that he manages to maneuver his way out of the five-year sentence and returns home to pursue his career in hip-hop. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding 42 Dugg’s guilty plea.

Coheed & Cambria have announced a run of UK and European dates on their ‘No World For The Waking Mind’ tour.

So far, the tour has seen the rock band perform their seminal album ‘No World For Tomorrow’ in full alongside a mix of songs from their most recent album, ‘Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind’, which came out last year.

While the band is in the UK for Download Festival this summer, they will be playing shows in Glasgow and London before moving on to Paris, Tilburg, Hamburg and Berlin. Soul Glo will be opening for them in London, Paris and and Tilburg.

You can see the full list of dates below and buy your tickets here.

JUNE
11 – Glasgow, SWG3 Galvanizers
13 – London, O2 Forum Kentish Town
16 – Paris, Backstage
19 – Tilburg, O13
20 – Hamburg, Gruenspan
22 – Berlin, Columbia Theatre

Elsewhere, the band has also shared the music video for ‘Beautiful Losers’, which was filmed while they were playing a live show in Germany.

Per a press release, “the live performance clip illustrates the bond between the band and their fans around the world. The track itself depicts the plight of Vaxis II’s main characters Nea and Nostrand, two underdogs battling an evil empire and while the song’s title also serves as an allusion to Coheed and Cambria’s beginnings – frontman Claudio Sanchez and guitarist Travis Stever had briefly been in a band called Beautiful Loser, named after a Leonard Cohen novel.”

Check it out below:

The band last came to play in the UK on a co-headlining run with Thrice last year.

This year, A BATHING APE officially turns 30-years-old. And to celebrate the occasion, the legendary streetwear label has lined up another collaboration with the Three Stripes, one that brings the STA logo to the much-beloved Campus.

Shared via IG, the announcement, which was accompanied by an animation almost exciting as the news itself, visually shared little of what was actually on the way. Earlier this month, though, images of a pair of BAPE x adidas Campus 80s did boil to the surface. And though unconfirmed whether or not this is what’s actually releasing, the hashtags tucked underneath the reveal’s caption do provide some credence to the leaks.

Going off this recently-surfaced imagery, the BAPE x adidas Campus 80s does feature nods to the Japanese brand’s 30th anniversary, with the milestone written in black along a navy suede tongue. Elsewhere, the rest of the upper employs the same color and material, with the iconic “STA” logo and “A BATHING APE” stamp layered along the side in white and gold, respectively. The logo along the heel and the added dubrae, too, appear to be done up in a gilded finish.

As of writing this, BAPE has only confirmed a release date: April 1st, 2023. As we await more information, look ahead for an early peek at what could very well be releasing next month.

In other news, eight pairs of the Futura Off-White Nike Dunk Low will be up for auction soon.
