Decades after dropping a hip-hop classic, Pusha T and Pharrell Williams are channeling their unmatched Virginia synergy into a whole new hustle. The legendary pair officially launched Grindin Coffee in New York City. For the launch, they teamed up with historic Italian roaster Lavazza for a high-end lifestyle play, Vibe reports. Fusing street culture, custom blends, and studio-honed precision, the launch proves their iconic drive hits just as hard in a cup as it does on a beat.  “Pusha and I have been building together since the beginning,” Williams said in a statement. “It has always been about intention and focus. Coffee has always been part of that discipline. It has been in the room with us when we create. Now it has a name.” Pusha T says Grindin stems from their relentless creative work ethic, where studio late nights and early mornings were powered by coffee.  “P and I were waking up really early. Like 5 a.m. early,” said Pusha. “That was our routine. Alarm goes off at 5, we’re up, and the first thing we’re doing is black coffee or the strongest espresso we can find. That’s how we were working. That was the fuel. We’d be in the studio creating, locked in, just grinding. And then from there we’d go ride twenty-five miles on the bike. That was the whole rhythm: create, move, create again. Coffee was part of that whole cycle.” View this post on Instagram On Monday (Sept. 14), Williams. Pusha, and Lavazza were present for the unveiling of Grindin to the public at dual launch events in New York City. Attendees enjoyed their first tastes of the coffee. The first event took place at Ludlow House, while a second party at Time Again brought together Questlove, DJ Kast One, Hxlt, and more, helping celebrate the special occasion.  “Our whole rhythm is create, move, create again. Great coffee is a part of that cycle,” Pusha T said in a statement. “Grindin Coffee is for people who are doing something. People who are moving. People who wake up and attack the day. It’s not about sipping and easing into the morning. It’s about ignition.” 

Chris Rock is opening up about his struggles with a nonverbal learning disorder. In an interview with Variety about his new film, Misty Green Rock revealed his diagnosis as “a kind of ADHD-ish, Asperger-y thing,”   “I have a level of concentration and empathy that I just did not have back then,” Rock said. “I was so good at telling jokes that I didn’t have to face a lot of things. My comedic gifts put me in a position where I didn’t have to grow up. So, I’m better equipped to make this kind of movie now.” According to the Cleveland Clinic, nonverbal learning disorder disrupts visual and spatial processing; tasks that rely on spatial awareness or pattern recognition can be a struggle. Everything from complex math and map reading to physical sports and social cues can feel more challenging. As the interview went on, Rock also spoke about whether he would host the Oscars again. “When people answer those questions, they’re being disrespectful to the people that got the gig,” Rock said in the Sept. 8 interview. “They have great hosts. Conan O’Brien is amazing. Nikki Glaser is amazing on the Golden Globes. I’m not going to say never, but my time might have passed, honestly.” Rock then shared his thoughts on the aftermath of being slapped on the Oscars stage by Will Smith. “I wish nothing would have happened,” said Rock, while also downplaying the severity of the incident. “It’s a crazy world. We walk by homeless people. There’s all sorts of [stuff] going on right now. Me having a bad day is not the biggest – it’s not that important.” Rock said that he would return to the Oscars under one condition. “The only way I’ll go back is if I’m nominated, and I’m not getting nominated,” Rock said. “And that’s OK. We’ll deal with that if it happens. Like, let’s manage expectations.” Misty Green hits theaters on Oct. 9

Joanna Wietrzyk, an Australian athlete, has issued a public apology following her victory in China. ​According to NBC News, she acknowledged a highly unusual and unfortunate situation on the final stretch women’s 16-to-24 Hyrox event  ​Despite suffering an involuntary bowel movement in the closing kilometers of the race, Rogers pushed through the severe physiological distress to cross the finish line first. She took home the national title before immediately seeking medical attention. View this post on Instagram While fans and commentators praised her sheer grit and athletic determination under extreme physical duress, Rogers expressed regret for any discomfort the incident caused to fellow competitors, race organizers, and spectators at the finish line. “I want to offer my sincere apology to the people of China, my fellow competitors, the spectators and the HYROX organizers for what happened during the race in Beijing,” Wietrzyk said in a statement. View this post on Instagram “I felt completely fit and healthy at the start of the race, with no reason to expect any illness. Looking back, I regret the decision to not have stepped off the track,” Wietrzyk continued. “And I recognize that I should have made a different choice. I take responsibility for my decision to continue and am deeply sorry for the discomfort and disruption it caused.” “I know my actions had an impact beyond myself, and I am genuinely sorry to everyone who was affected. And I am learning from this experience and will carry those lessons with me, including remembering that there is more to life than racing and knowing when it is right to step away. On reflection, I have decided to retroactively withdraw from the race and forfeit the points I earned,” she concluded. Wietrzyk’s time of 1:01:23 would have put her atop her division, “Hyrox co-founder Moritz Fürste issued an apology on Sunday, admitting that officials should have stepped in right away.”

Hip-Hop star Drake has given fans another unreleased track to dissect, and one lyric is already drawing attention. The biggest name in hip-hop previewed the song during FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), his hour-long short film released Sept. 15. The project features previously unheard music and several high-profile collaborations. DRAKE DEDICATES NEW SONG FOR PALESTINIANS IN ‘PRAY FOR GAZA’ pic.twitter.com/nAcw1dClZc — RT (@RT_com) September 16, 2026 Around the 17:47 mark, Drake delivers the phrase “Pray for Gaza” over a dancehall-influenced production. The moment lasts only briefly, but it has quickly become one of FOMO’s most discussed musical details. Drake has not announced an official title for the track. He also has not confirmed plans for a standalone release. The meaning behind the lyric remains unclear. Complex noted that “Gaza” could reference the Gaza Strip and the ongoing conflict involving Israel and Palestinians. Drake Honors Palestinians With Unreleased Track, “Pray For Gaza,” In New Short Film, FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) The word also carries significance within Jamaican dancehall. Vybz Kartel’s Portmore movement has long used Gaza as an identifying name. That connection adds another possible interpretation to Drake’s lyric. His longstanding admiration for dancehall and relationship with Kartel have also shaped the conversation. Still, Drake has previously addressed the Israel-Gaza conflict through his public actions. In 2023, he signed the Artists4Ceasefire open letter. The letter called for de-escalation and a ceasefire involving Gaza and Israel. Drake’s longtime producer, Noah “40” Shebib, later discussed the decision with Rolling Stone MENA. “He asked if Drake would and I went to talk to him and the team,” Shebib said. “That simple really.” That history offers context, but it does not confirm Drake’s intended meaning. For now, “pray for Gaza” remains open to interpretation. FOMO arrives during Drizzy’s broader ICEMAN era. The film also showcases his continued movement between rap, R&B and dancehall. The project gives listeners a glimpse at music Drake has yet to formally release. Whether “Pray For Gaza” eventually becomes an official track remains unknown. For now, the brief lyric has done what The 6 God’s surprise releases often accomplish. It has given listeners another mystery to unpack.

The model and content creator addressed Renner’s remarks in a video response. Joy made it clear she has never hidden her preference for being cared for by her partner. “That could never be you, and I love that for you,” Joy said. “I, on the other hand, have never been shy to admit that I absolutely love when my man takes care of me.” “And I love taking care of my man,” she added. Daphne Joy responds after Brittany Renner takes shots at her. pic.twitter.com/BrpDTawhOy — Final Boss Jay (@FinalBossJay) September 15, 2026 Joy’s response arrives after Renner seemingly criticized the idea of women openly discussing financial support from men. Renner has built a reputation for candid conversations about dating, relationships and motherhood. The exchange places both women in a familiar hip-hop conversation. Social media has become a battleground for debates about dating expectations, gender roles and money. Joy, however, framed her position around reciprocity. She said accepting support from a partner does not mean she refuses to return that energy. 50 Cent’s BM & Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Ex Daphne Joy Fires Back At Brittany Renner’s Recent Comments The model has remained connected to hip-hop through her past relationships. She shares a son, Sire Jackson, with rapper and business mogul 50 Cent. Joy has also been linked to Sean “Diddy” Combs, adding another prominent name from hip-hop to her public dating history. Her relationships have frequently placed her personal life under intense scrutiny. Renner has faced similar attention throughout her career. The controversial model and content creator has frequently addressed relationships and personal experiences with her audience. Neither woman appears to be backing away from her position. Instead, their exchange has reignited a broader conversation about what partners should expect from one another. For Joy, the answer centers on mutual care. She wants a relationship where receiving support and providing support can exist together. Her latest comments make clear she has no plans to soften that stance. Meanwhile, Renner’s apparent criticism has given Joy another opportunity to explain her perspective. Their exchange has quickly become another social media debate involving two outspoken personalities.

Laila Ali once again addressed the persistent rumors of a potential super-fight against multi-division champion Claressa Shields, maintaining that a return to the ring is strictly a matter of financial logistics. During a recent interview, Ali dismissed the idea that public callouts or verbal challenges would be enough to tempt her out of retirement. The daughter of the late Muhammad Ali emphasized that she remains unmoved by the social media spectacle that has surrounded the proposed matchup for nearly a decade. “Not just anybody can make me an offer,” Ali said during the radio interview. “You actually have to have the money.” The friction between the two legendary fighters began as early as 2018 when Shields expressed frustration over comments Ali made regarding the state of women’s boxing. The tension escalated in 2020 when Ali first hinted that the right opponent and a significant payday could lure her back to the squared circle. By 2025, Ali set a specific price tag on her return, indicating that a bout would require a purse between $15 million and $20 million. Shields quickly countered by claiming her team had secured $15 million and publicly showcased an oversized check featuring Ali’s name to signal her readiness to fight. Shields has previously accused Ali of avoiding the contest, but Ali has consistently pushed back against these claims. The undefeated former champion said she will only respond to serious business proposals that meet her valuation, rather than reacting to what she views as publicity stunts. Ali, who retired in 2007 with a perfect 24-0 record, has built a successful career as an entrepreneur and television personality in the years since hanging up her gloves.

Kawhi Lenorad is showing his love for the “6.” In a nine-minute clip released Wednesday on YouTube, Leonard sat down for the team’s documentary series “Open Gym.” He touched on several subjects, including his notoriously elusive legacy.  “I’m not really championship chasing. … I didn’t want to put on a thousand jerseys,” Leonard said in the video. “This city took a liking to my family, and I took a liking to this city. I really liked it. My son was born here, and he’s been asking me forever when he’s going to come back. Now he’s back, and he’s able to see it rather than me tell him the great stories that happened.”  “This city always gave me love and showed support from everybody. I’m happy that they love what I did here,” Leonard added. “I gave this city everything. I was coming in that year injured, and I just gave them my all.” “Hopefully they embrace me back and (I) give them all again, and we can make something special happen once again.” In his single season with the Toronto Raptors (2018–19), Kawhi Leonard delivered one of the most dominant individual playoff runs in NBA history. Averaging a career-high 26.6 points during the regular season, he elevated his game in the postseason to average 30.5 points and 9.1 rebounds over 24 playoff games.  He capped the run by leading Toronto to its first-ever NBA championship and securing his second career Finals MVP award.  At the center of the Clippers’ notorious salary-cap scandal was Leonard, whose involvement earned him a $700,000 league fine. He reeived no additional suspension or penalty. The Clippers, however, paid a far steeper price, forfeiting five first-round draft picks. Having agreed to trade for Leonard on June 30, the Raptors immediately froze the deal pending the outcome of the NBA’s probe. They couldn’t risk the league nullifying his contract, which would have meant losing Leonard along with the players and draft picks they surrendered to get him.
