Rick Ross Okay, I'm a Hoarder!!! Confesses After Khaled's Air Jordan Drop
Rick Ross is finally coming to grips with the fact he's got way more stuff than he can handle -- but he still made room at his Georgia estate when he got a very special Jumpman delivery!!!
Rozay's finally admitting he's a proud hoarder, a title he really couldn't avoid seeing as how he had an armful of DJ Khaled's new custom Air Jordans at the moment.
Apparently, there are only 23 of the complete DJ Khaled x Nike Air Jordan 5 capsules and Rozay is a lucky recipient.
The J's will be released on November 28 AKA Cyber Monday '22, in "Sail" and "Crimson Bliss" colorways with the remaining ones staying on the exclusive circuit ... for now.
Khaled is hosting a fan event in Miami for the coveted kicks over the weekend to potentially induce more pandemonium ... but Rozay still has his work cut out at home as he decides what to keep and what to dump.
Earlier this week, he laid out tons of designer clothes and valuables across his mansion, debating if he should have a Boss-style yard sale.
At least he's only hoarding things people actually want!!!

Drake & 21 Savage Judge Yanks Phony 'Vogue' Covers
Score 1 for Anna Wintour in the Vogue war with Drake and 21 Savage -- a judge is forcing the rappers to shut down all their album promotions using a fake magazine cover ... at least for now.
As TMZ Hip Hop first reported ... Vogue publishers Condé Nast slapped the duo with a lawsuit over the promos they plastered around several cities and online. The phony Vogue, featuring 21 and Drizzy, was used to hype their new album, "Her Loss."
Now, a federal judge is siding with Vogue by issuing a temporary restraining order to shut down all current and future use and display of the mocked-up cover. The order also blocks them from using Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's likeness.
Prior to the album's release, Drake had posted the fake Vogue, and even shouted out Anna ... thanking her for putting them on the cover. Of course, that was all made up ... and, in fact, Condé Nast says it had explicitly told Drake and 21 they did NOT have permission to do the Vogue stunt.
Drake's taken down that post in accordance with the restraining order.
There's a court hearing scheduled for Nov. 22 on the matter, when both sides can present their cases. Condé Nast also sued for $4 million in damages, but the court hasn't addressed that yet.

Adidas Contract Says Ye Gets Paid for Yeezy Rebrand ... But, There's a Rub!!!
-
Exclusive
- 3.5K shares
Adidas' announcement it will sell Yeezy designs without Yeezy branding should be money to Kanye West's ears ... TMZ has learned he has that in writing, but he's not getting a dime.
Sources with direct knowledge of the deal Ye signed with Adidas ... tell us there's a clause in the contract that calls for the rapper/designer to get a reduced fee if Adidas sells his designs without his branding.
That's interesting because when Adidas cut ties last month with Ye -- over his antisemitic and bigoted statements -- it said it would not pay him a single cent from that day forward. Of course, that was before Wednesday's announcement it will roll out some of Ye's shoes in 2023 ... just with the Adidas name and markings, instead of Yeezy.
TMZ asked the German shoe co. if it planned to follow through on paying Ye's reduced fee, and a spokesman said he's getting zero, zilch, null ... bupkis.
Now, there's most likely a morals clause in the contract as well -- and Adidas could easily say Ye's hate speech constituted a breach which nullified their deal. Adidas is providing no further explanation, so we've gotta read the tea leaves.
10/25/22
Whatever the case ... if Ye wants compensation for the rebranded shoe sales, he's gonna have to tell it to a judge.

Phil Knight on Kyrie Irving Relationship With Nike 'Likely Over' ... 'Stepped Over The Line'

Breaking News

Kyrie Irving's relationship with Nike is "likely over," says Phil Knight, co-founder and chairman of the manufacturing conglomerate.
In an interview with CNBC, the billionaire commented on Irving's future with the Swoosh, saying, "I would doubt that we go back. But, I don't know for sure."
"Kyrie stepped over the line. It's kind of that simple. He made some statements that we just can't abide by, and that's why we ended the relationship. And, I was fine with that."
As we reported on Friday, the shoe giant announced it was suspending its relationship with the Nets' superstar point guard after he refused to apologize for tweeting a link to a controversial film containing antisemitic messaging.
"At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech, and we condemn any form of antisemitism," the company said.
Nike's move to press pause on its partnership with Irving came after the Nets suspended Kyrie for at least five games -- the team felt that the 30-year-old wasn't contrite when he apologized for the harm he caused the Jewish community.
Like the Nets, Nike, too, was disappointed in Irving's seeming reluctance to disavow the antisemitic content in the film he tweeted, which left the company no choice but to suspend Kyrie's deal.
Knight told the outlet that when signing athletes, they consider not only how good the athlete is ... but also the kind of character the individual displays.
"It's not an exact science, but it's a process that we go through with a lot of intensity and with a lot of people sticking their hand in it."

Adidas Confirms More Yeezys on the Way!!! But, with Different Name

Breaking News
- 4.9K shares
Kanye West's Yeezy designs will, in fact, live on at Adidas after all ... but they'll have a completely different title when they drop.
Adidas honchos announced Wednesday the company plans to continue selling more of the Ye-inspired shoes starting as early as 2023, but without a trace of the Yeezy name ... according to Insider.
Adidas reportedly emphasized to their shareholders the company remains the sole owner of the core designs of the current Yeezys in circulation ... including shoe silhouettes and colorways. As such, they feel they have every right to keep hawking them.
Adidas also gave some sobering financial numbers -- noting it expects to lose up to half a billion dollars in annual revenue as a result of ending the partnership with Ye.
Previously, execs said they'd take a $247 million hit, this year alone.
Unclear if they're going to discard the Yeezy inventory they have right now, or retweak and rerelease them. In any case, it sounds like sneakerheads will see "Yeezys" on the market again soon enough.
Adidas had already signaled this move when it first cut ties with Kanye -- explicitly saying the shoe designs belonged to them. Kanye hasn't publicly said anything about that stance or the company's plan to sell rebranded Yeezys.
We know Kanye's griped in the past about ownership. As it stands, at least on paper, he only owns the patent to Yeezy Slides.
FWIW, there are 14 different Yeezy shoe products (sans the Slides) that have been released over the years, and lord knows they've been popular and profitable thus far.
The question now is ... are they worth as much without Ye's name attached? We, and Adidas, are gonna find out.

Red Bull driver Sergio Pérez will have the power of the Black Panther when he hits the track in Brazil this week -- he'll be wearing an awesome 'Wakanda Forever' helmet!!
"My helmet for the next race, your thoughts?," Checo said alongside pics of the movie premiere on Monday. "Hope we can be as fast as Black Panther."

Pérez and his teammate Max Verstappen are currently at the top of the driver standings ... with the latter already securing the championship.
The helmet is really cool -- it's matte gray with the Black Panther logo on top ... with "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" written across the back.
It's perfect timing for Checo to rock the look -- the Marvel flick is set to hit theaters on Friday.
If the helmet does make the Red Bull cars go as fast as Black Panther, it will be more bad news for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari.

Jessica Simpson Responds to Concern Online ... After Odd Ad Performance
Jessica Simpson is responding to some serious concerns from her fans ... after being featured in an ad online that many saw as anything but normal.
Jessica starred in a new Pottery Barn Kids clip last week ... where she showed off her 3-year-old Birdie's room -- showing how the company's collection brought the place together.
Seems harmless enough ... but the comment section quickly filled up with concerning messages -- with many asking if she's ok, and one even writing "blink twice if you need help Jess." Some saw the performance as forced, with the speech just feeling off.
The 42-year-old singer responded to the noise Sunday night ... posting a clip of herself singing in her studio in order to "ground myself and heal" -- adding, "peoples' comments and judgments can still hurt deeply with their incessant nagging."
She doesn't directly call BS on the worrisome fans' fears, but adds, "The most important thing I have learned through the last 5yrs without alcohol being a guard for escapism, is that I CAN and ALWAYS WILL get through it."
As we reported, Jessica's had her sights set on determination and self-love for years now following her bouts with alcoholism ... telling the world earlier this year she's gained and lost 100 pounds 3 times now.

Kanye West 'White Lives Matter' Rights Price Tag ... Only $1 Billion, Owner Says

Exclusive

Kanye West is going to need to shell out 10 figures if he wants any chance at owning the rights to 'White Lives Matter' ... so says one of the owners of the phrase.
Ramses Ja, who got the rights to 'WLM' last month along with his radio show co-host Quinton Ward, tells TMZ ... they're not looking to sell the trademark, but any potential buyer would have to come up with a $1 billion offer to even make them consider selling.
For Ramses, the most important thing is helping organizations fighting for Black people's rights ... so a $1 billion dollar offer would make them reconsider their desire not to sell, because they could do so much good with that kind of money.
Kanye's been stirring the pot with his "White Lives Matter" shirts for a month, but he hasn't been able to sell them in America because he doesn't own the rights.
As we reported ... the trademark was acquired by an anonymous listener of Ramses and Quinton's racial justice radio show, "Civic Cipher" ... filing it the same day Ye wore the controversial look at Paris Fashion Week.
The listener transferred ownership over to Ramses and Quinton a few weeks back ... and it covers the right to sell clothing with those words displayed.
Ramses says their lawyer would take legal action against Kanye, or anyone else if the shirts are sold ... and the $1 billion price tag would appear to be an even bigger deterrent.
Kanye West Loses Billionaire Status After Adidas Terminates Deal
Kanye's no longer a billionaire after losing tons of business partners over his antisemitic rhetoric ... and Ramses says Ye has not reached out to him about the trademark rights.
And, get this ... in order for Ramses and Quinton to retain their trademark, they need to use it in commerce, they can't just sit on it ... and based on what Ramses is telling us here, it seems like they're coming up with a unique way to hang on to the rights.

Nike is pressing pause on its endorsement deal with Kyrie Irving ... and now his signature shoe is being shelved.
The shoe giant announced Friday it was suspending its business relationship with the NBA star, explaining ... "At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism."
Nike also says it will no longer launch the Kyrie 8 basketball shoe, adding ... "We are deeply saddened and disappointed by the situation and its impact on everyone."
As you know ... Kyrie's faced a ton of backlash ever since tweeting out a link to an antisemitic film last week.
Nike isn't the first to come down on Irving. The Nets announced Thursday they were suspending him at least 5 games after he refused to outright apologize for promoting the film. The Nets said Kyrie will not be allowed to play for the club again until he "satisfies a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct."
The point guard finally issued a lengthy mea culpa on his social media after being suspended, but folks are questioning his sincerity.
Kyrie's apology wasn't enough to save his relationship with Nike ... at least for now.

Kanye West Can't Sell 'White Lives Matter' Shirts ... 2 Black Men Got The Trademark!!!
Kanye West could dig himself an even bigger hole if he tries to sell his "White Lives Matter" shirts in America ... because that phrase has already been trademarked -- and guess what? It's owned by 2 black men.
Ramses Ja and Quinton Ward, hosts of the radio show Civic Cipher, legally got rights to the phrase last month ... telling CNN it's all about making sure it doesn't end up in the wrong hands.
The trademark covers the right to sell clothing with those words displayed.
10/3/22
The trademark was acquired by an anonymous listener of Ramses and Quinton's racial justice show ... filing it the same day Ye wore his controversial outfit at Paris fashion week.
The listener transferred ownership over to their show a few weeks back.
Ramses and Quinton said it was a tough call to take the trademark ... but added, “Once it was clear that someone stood to gain significant profit from it, because as you’ve seen, even though (Kanye) says some really hurtful, divisive and sometimes crazy things, he has a bit of a zealot following and every time he releases something, it sells out.”
As we reported, Kanye was stirring the pot before his antisemitic rants ... donning a "White Lives Matter" hoodie at his Yeezy fashion show at the beginning of October -- Candace Owens joined him in his outfit choice, too.

Ezekiel Elliott Unveils Cowboys' Turkey Day Helmets ... Blows Team's Big Surprise!?!
1:52 PM PT -- The Cowboys just confirmed Elliott did, in fact, blow the surprise ... saying in a tweet minutes ago, "C'mon bruhhhh... @EzekielElliott."
Did Ezekiel Elliott just spoil the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day uniform surprise?!?
It sure seems that way ... because the running back revealed the team's sweet, new throwback helmets on his social media page -- and then quickly deleted the post!
Dallas is scheduled to wear the white helmets and special uniforms for the food-filled holiday later this month -- but the team had yet to officially show them off to the public. It seemed they were waiting for closer to gameday to ceremoniously unveil them.
But, it appears Elliott didn't get that memo -- and dropped a pic of his Turkey Day helmet right on his IG stories on Wednesday afternoon. The post was up for about one hour, before it was swiftly taken down.
Of course, Elliott didn't unwrap the whole holiday gift -- the complete look still hasn't been seen -- so the team shouldn't be TOO disappointed in their star.
As for what the whole 'fit ultimately might end up looking like ... it likely won't be too far from the white helmet theme that the Cowboys wore last on Thanksgiving Day in 2012.

Jadakiss Ye Needs Our Prayers ... Owes Apologies to Everybody!!!

Jadakiss says the remaining people in Kanye West's inner circle need to help pick him, dust him off and get him back on his feet -- and he thinks fans can do their part too.
We caught The LOX legend out in NYC where he called on everyone to pray for the embattled "College Dropout" rapper, so God can sort things out.
He feels similarly about Ma$e's ongoing cold war with Diddy, and firmly believes they'll eventually hash out their differences. Jada's been hanging with the Harlem World rapper lately, so he's dishing some good intel here.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
As we reported, Jadakiss was one of the many rappers who playfully teased Ye about his crumbling finances in the aftermath of his antisemitic remarks. But, jokes aside, he feels Ye should conduct a formal apology to everyone he offended -- including the Black community -- so he can move forward.
He knows artists are prone to saying and doing dumb things from time to time -- so, he's not ready to cancel Ye, and says he's still proud to rock Yeezys.
It's been a tumultuous week for Kanye ... who claimed he lost $2 billion after Adidas and others cut ties.
As of right now, the future of his Donda Academy is also up in the air due to several educators quitting in protest over Ye's bigoted comments.
Jada's optimism also carries over to his many business deals.
He recently opened up his Kiss Coffee Cafe alongside his father and son, bridging three generations of family into the new venture.
