Kanye West and DJ Khaled have been in the studio working on what surely is a future smash hit (we’ll let you decide if there’s sarcasm there). Perhaps more importantly, Khaled hooked his homie Ye up with a very rare pair of Air Jordan 3’s.
Of course, the gifting had to be shared on social media or else it wouldn’t have actually happened.

The kicks in question are the blue Father Of Asahd x Air Jordan 3’s that Khaled officially cooked up with Jordan Brand. As Khaled repeatedly says, only 100 were made, and he also noted that he doesn’t have any left in the caption of the video.
Recently, Ye through sneakerheads for a loop when he shared a pic of the Jumpman logo and an old social media post from Michael Jordan’s son Marcus suggesting he, Air Jordan, Khaled and Yeezy sit down for a meeting. Speculation immediately regarding what could be going down, especially considering Ye’s connection to adidas, began running rampant.
While Khaled was kitted in some green Air Jordan 4’s, Ye was rocking those big ass Red Wing boots. That is all.

We open this post equally with a wave of sincere condolences and a warning to the sensitive content within. According to reports, the son of actress Regina King has allegedly died of an apparent suicide.
LoveBScott.com was the first to report the news of the death of Ian Alexander Jr., King’s son from her previous marriage to record producer Ian Alexander Sr. While reps for King have yet to announce a cause of death, the award-winning actress delivered a statement to PEOPLE asking for privacy during this tough time.
From PEOPLE:
“Our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian,” King says in a statement sent to PEOPLE. “He is such a bright light who cared so deeply about the happiness of others. Our family asks for respectful consideration during this private time. Thank you.”
Alexander was King’s only child and was involved in music much like his father. Alexander appeared frequently with his mother at various industry events and the pair were extremely close as evidenced by their glowing words for one another across interviews and social media posts.
Hip-Hop Wired and the iOne Digital team offer our most sincere condolences to Regina King and Ian Alexander Sr.
Ian Alexander Jr. was 26.

The Fugees Cancel Reunion Tour, Blame COVID

It’s a wrap before it even started. The highly anticipated Fugees reunion tour, which was already postponed, is now officially cancelled.
Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel were supposed to be celebrating the 25th anniversary of their landmark album The Score. However, the group took to social media to let fans know the gig is off.
“We anticipate and understand disappointment but our anniversary tour will not be able to happen,” wrote the group on their official social channels. “The continued Covid pandemic has made touring conditions difficult, and we want to make sure we keep our fans and ourselves healthy and safe.”
Announced in September 2021, the group held a warm-up show at Pier 17 in New York City to great fanfare, even if people made sure to mention it started late while pointing fingers to Lauryn Hill as the culprit. Then the fall dates got pushed to sometime in 2022. But it nows seems that the fact that we are still in a whole pandemic was enough reason to table the world tour outright, at least for now.
The group added, “An idea sparked to honor and celebrate this 25th anniversary of ‘The Score’ but we see now it may not currently be our time for revisiting this past work. We’re grateful for the special night we did get to share with some of you in New York, with that rare live moment. If opportunity, public safety, and scheduling allow, we hope to be able to revisit this again sometime soon. Thank you for all of your love and support throughout the years.”
Now if y’all took your COVID vaccines and stopped raw dogging air, fans just might have been able to watch L Boogie, Clef and Pras get busy on a stage near you. But alas, here we are.
Interestingly, Variety notes that tickets sales to the dates that were previously made available were “light.”

The Return Of “Air Yeezy”? Kanye West Teases Jordan Collab, Allegedly

A minute ago social media began to suspect that Kanye West would be making a shocking return to the Nike brand when he was spotted wearing a pair of Nike Vandal High “Terminator”‘s, but unfortunately for sneaker aficionados nothing ever came after that moment.

While he’s since gone back to wearing wild ass Adidas Yeezy boots, slides, and male struggle stripper boots, today (Jan. 21) he dropped a hint that not only could he be working with Nike again, but this time with their crown jewel brand, Jordan. Taking to Instagram to post the famous Jumpman logo that is a silhouette of one Michael Jordan, Kanye captioned it with “” to get the sneaker world in a frenzy in a matter of seconds.

Could the long-awaited Adidas/Jordan collaboration be on the way? Will Yeezy be leaving Adidas for Jordan Brand? Are the OG Air Yeezy’s going to finally be getting retro’d as we’ve been pleading for over the past few years? We certainly hope any of those three are happening.
In the second pic of the post it’s a screenshot of an old post which stated that Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus, wanted to have a four-way conversation with Kanye, Michael Jordan, and DJ Khaled. Just today Khaled was hanging out with Kanye and posted his time with Ye on IG. Could they have come to some kind of agreement on a collaboration while they were kicking it? We have no clue, but what we do know is that Khaled’s pair of Nike Air Yeezy “Net”‘s came apart while he was kicking it with Kanye West and that sh*t hurt our sneaker loving hearts.

50 Cent Teams Up With Mona Scott-Young To Produce New WETv Show ‘Hip-Hop Homicides’ Hosted By Van Lathan

Curtis 50 Cent Jackson’s television empire continues to expand with the help of Mona Scott-Young.
Per Deadline, 50 Cent’s G-Unit Television is teaming up with Mona Scott-Young, and her Monami Productions tentpole plus Lionsgate Television for a new unscripted series for WEtv called Hip-Hop Homicides. Former TMZ personality Van Lathan will host the show. It will shine a light on the “staggering number of unsolved murders in the hip-hop community in an attempt to uncover details of what really happened,” the website reports.
The series will be broken up into eight parts and will also air on AMC Networks steaming service ALLBLK as well as WEtv. Scott-Young’s Monami Productions will tackle physical production, while Lionsgate will cover international distribution. The Queens rapper and Mona Scott-Young will serve as executive producers.
“50 and I created this show in response to the disturbing number of murders in hip-hop. With this boots-on-the-ground investigative series, we will look to closely examine and explore leads surrounding these cases with the hope of finally providing loved ones with answers,” Scott-Young told Deadline.
“G-Unit Film and Television has thrived by telling real stories. As I continue to grow my current slate, premium non-scripted programming will be a major focus. Hip-hop loves things that are damaged. This series will shed light on the artists that didn’t make it through the struggle,” Jackson added.
“We’re proud to collaborate with Curtis again on a powerful project in the unscripted world alongside our incredible producing partner Mona. Hip Hop Homicides is an eye-opening reality series that will captivate and move audiences, and we’re excited we found the right partners in WEtv,” President of Lionsgate Nonfiction Television and CEO and Chair of Pilgrim Media Group Craig Piligian said.
“These are important stories that will be told by an extraordinary producing team we couldn’t be more excited to be working with. We look forward to shedding new light and attention on cases that have grown cold over time, with the potential for resolution and closure for those involved,” Lauren Gellert, head of original programming and development for WEtv, added.
It sounds like the G-Unit general and the Love & Hip Hop creator has another television win on their hands.
