A federal jury in Los Angeles found Durk not guilty on all charges stemming from the deadly 2022 shooting that prosecutors alleged was a revenge plot targeting Quando Rondo. Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson was killed in the attack. Prosecutors maintained that Durk financed the alleged operation through resources connected to his Only The Family (OTF) organization.
The jury did not buy enough of the government’s case to convict him.

That is enormous.
But don’t start planning the welcome home party just yet.
Durk still faces separate federal racketeering allegations that were severed from the murder for hire trial before proceedings began. In July, U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald granted the defense request to separate newly added allegations involving purported OTF related violence in Chicago from the Los Angeles prosecution.
Those charges were separated. They were not dismissed.
And that determines whether Durk walks out of federal custody anytime soon.
Before the verdict, legal eagles anticipated that prosecutors would seek to keep Durk detained even if he were acquitted. The government can argue that the remaining charges create independent reasons for detention. Durk’s attorneys, meanwhile, now possess a powerful new argument.
Their client just faced a federal jury and won.
The defense could push for release under strict conditions, potentially including home confinement, electronic monitoring, travel restrictions or a substantial bond. Whether Judge Fitzgerald agrees is another matter entirely.
There is another question hovering over this prosecution.
How much does this acquittal complicate the government’s remaining case?
The racketeering allegations are legally separate, so today’s verdict does not magically make them disappear. Prosecutors can continue pursuing charges that were not decided by this jury.
The government spent weeks presenting witnesses, digital evidence, travel records and its theory that Durk orchestrated a deadly conspiracy. Jurors deliberated for three days and ultimately refused to convict him. So major.
Now prosecutors potentially have to convince another jury of another sweeping theory involving Durk and OTF. That is not impossible, especially now.
For Durk, there are really two battles happening now.
The first is immediate: Get out of jail.
The second is bigger: Finish the remaining federal case and get his life and career back.
His lawyers aren’t celebrating for very long. They’ve still got work to do.
]]>The jury returned its decision Friday, September 11, during its third day of deliberations in U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald’s courtroom.
Lil Durk, was found not guilty of all charges. Jurors convicted Deandre “DeDe” Wilson and David “Browneyez” Lindsey of stalking and stalking conspiracy.
Wilson and Lindsey were found not guilty of murder for hire. The acquittals followed a trial involving five charges against each defendant.
The charges included conspiracy to commit stalking, stalking Tyquian “Quando Rondo” Bowman with a dangerous weapon and stalking Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson, resulting in death.
The defendants also faced conspiracy to use interstate facilities in a murder-for-hire resulting in death and using those facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death.
The Justice Department accused Lil Durk of financing the operation as revenge for the death of Dayvon “King Von” Bennett.
King Von was shot outside an Atlanta nightclub on November 6, 2020, after confronting Quando Rondo. Prosecutors argued Lil Durk’s grief became a years-long criminal effort to locate and kill Quando Rondo.
The defense said the government transformed private anger, grief and rap lyrics into evidence of an agreement that witnesses never reliably described.
Drew Findling began Lil Durk’s closing argument by separating emotional language from criminal action.
“There is no expiration date on grief,” Findling said. “There is no finite time limit on pain, sadness, and anger that one feels with the sudden, unexpected tragic loss.”
Findling argued investigators reviewed Lil Durk’s private communications under the assumption that he was a “gangster with a lot of money.”
That phrase came from an LAPD detective’s interview with Keith “Flacka” Jones and became central to the defense attack against the investigation.
Findling told jurors the statement revealed bias that could have shaped how investigators interpreted everything connected to Lil Durk.
The defense said investigators selected hostile messages while ignoring the broader conversations that supplied context for those words.
One image from Lil Durk’s phone concerned Timothy “Lul Tim” Leeks, but Findling said it contained no accompanying instruction or threat.
Another exhibit appeared sinister until cross-examination revealed a larger thread containing a LeBron James tribute and an image of King Von with his son.
The defense also challenged the government’s treatment of Lil Durk’s music as evidence of an actual murder agreement.
Findling called producer Justin Gibson to explain how record companies approve, market and profit from violent music without treating every lyric as fact.
He argued that the same companies profiting from Lil Durk’s music had approved material prosecutors later presented as evidence against him.
“Executives were happy, shareholders were cashing in, IRAs were bursting at the seams for one of the biggest corporations on the planet Earth,” Findling said. “And yet those very same songs that are making people in country clubs line their pockets with green is being used against Durk Banks in this courtroom.”
Prosecutors argued Gibson ultimately helped them by acknowledging that certain lyrics addressed revenge against Quando Rondo.
The defense answered that acknowledging a song’s subject did not prove Lil Durk entered a stalking conspiracy or offered money for murder.
Findling said the lyrics never identified an agreement, a bounty or a plan to stalk Lul Pab.
The defense also attacked the government’s use of a short excerpt from Lil Durk’s interview with DJ Akademiks.
An FBI agent relied on approximately 56 seconds from the interview but admitted he had not reviewed the remaining three and a half hours.
“You don’t know what was in the other three and a half hours that you didn’t bother to do in a case of this magnitude,” Findling told jurors.
The defense said the government repeatedly used the same narrow approach with messages, music, videos and witness statements.
Lil Durk’s attorneys argued the physical evidence proved a shooting occurred but could not independently establish who authorized it.
Surveillance recordings showed two vehicles pursuing Quando Rondo’s Escalade before gunfire erupted near the Beverly Center on August 19, 2022.
Quando Rondo survived, but his 24-year-old cousin, Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson, was killed.
Prosecutors used cellular data, GPS information, flights, hotel charges and transportation records to reconstruct movements surrounding the shooting.
The defense said those records showed locations and purchases but did not reveal what Lil Durk knew or intended.
The defense said prosecutors needed cooperating witnesses to add intent, authority and payment to records that could not speak for themselves.
Kavon “OTF Vonni” Grant, Kacey “OTF Jam” Hester and Keith “Flacka” Jones admitted criminal conduct before testifying against the defendants. Each man hoped his assistance would persuade prosecutors to support less prison time at sentencing.
OTF Vonni gave prosecutors their main connection to Lil Durk by claiming the rapper approved and directed the alleged operation.
The defense portrayed OTF Vonni as a fired assistant with Lil Durk’s financial information, cards, passwords and access to transportation.
A recorded telephone conversation captured OTF Vonni discussing activities he completed without other people learning about them.
“Certain things I did on my own, and they didn’t figure out, and I was doing it correctly,” OTF Vonni said.
Findling argued that statement supported the defense claim that OTF Vonni managed criminal activity independently and later attached Lil Durk’s name.
“Ladies and gentlemen, game, set, match,” Findling said. “That is the easiest pathway to reasonable doubt.”
Lil Durk’s lawyers also attacked investigators for failing to question witnesses who were near him and OTF Vonni during critical periods.
Justin Gibson and Devonte “DJ Bandz” Richmond traveled with the pair between California and Florida as the alleged Los Angeles plan developed.
Agents never questioned Gibson or DJ Bandz about conversations inside vehicles, aboard a private plane or at Lil Durk’s Encino residence.
“Nobody is interviewed. Nobody hears anything,” Findling said. “So you are resting your whole case on Vonni, the belief that Vonni is telling the truth.”
Findling said Lil Durk’s wife, mother-in-law, children and armed security personnel were also present at the Encino residence. Investigators did not ask those people about firearms, unfamiliar visitors, OTF Vonni’s movements or any discussion about Quando Rondo.
The defense also disputed OTF Vonni’s claim that a revenge plan began at a gathering immediately after King Von’s death.
Shekema Springfield, the mother of King Von’s son, testified that she stayed with his family for several days after the killing.
Springfield said Lil Durk and several alleged conspirators were not present, and she heard no discussion about killing Quando Rondo.
The defense argued that testimony directly contradicted OTF Vonni’s description of the conspiracy’s beginning.
OTF Jam supplied another major link by claiming Lil Durk would financially reward someone who killed Quando Rondo.
However, the defense said OTF Jam initially denied discussing Quando Rondo or Lul Tim with Lil Durk during his recorded interview.
More than two hours later, OTF Jam connected Lil Durk to an alleged payment.
Brian Steel asked jurors to examine what changed during the two hours and 18 minutes between those answers.
Flacka testified that he expected to receive as much as $1 million, although no document recorded that promise or showed a payment.
For the murder-for-hire charges, prosecutors needed to prove an agreement in which murder would occur in exchange for money or another economic benefit.
The judge instructed jurors that travel expenses alone could not establish a bounty.
The defense argued that hoping or expecting to receive money afterward could not replace proof of a bargain made before the killing.
Browneyez’s lawyer emphasized that OTF Jam testified there was “no discussion” before the attack and said nobody offered him payment.
The lawyer also noted that OTF Vonni had never met Browneyez before that weekend and never spoke with him.
Flacka admitted Browneyez said little during an alleged FaceTime call and that they listened to music while driving toward the airport.
The defense said presence aboard a flight or inside a vehicle could not prove knowledge of a murder plan.
Quando Rondo’s absence from the witness stand became another part of the defense argument against the stalking charges.
“Where is Quando Rondo?” Findling asked while challenging proof that the alleged conduct placed the intended target in reasonable fear.
Findling called Quando Rondo’s absence “the embodiment of reasonable doubt,” although prosecutors argued the attack itself established the required harm.
The defense maintained it did not need to identify who organized the shooting or explain every action shown in the records.
Its burden remained zero because prosecutors had to prove every element against each defendant.
Jurors began deliberating Wednesday, September 9, after receiving the final instructions and hearing arguments from all sides.
The five separate charges required jurors to evaluate each defendant’s conduct, knowledge, agreement and intent independently.
Their first disclosed questions arrived around 9 A.M. Thursday, September 10. The first note requested “verification/clarification” of the Court’s Instruction No. 18, addressing the conspiracy to commit stalking charge.
Fitzgerald reread the existing instruction after prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed that he should not add another explanation.
The jury’s second note asked for “the definition of the word ‘intent’ in the context of ‘intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate.’”
Fitzgerald told the panel no specialized legal definition applied and instructed jurors to use the word according to its ordinary meaning.
The questions showed that jurors were studying the required mental state, but they disclosed no vote or preference concerning any verdict.
The acquittals show jurors ultimately found the testimony and records insufficient to prove the murder for hire case.
]]>The rap star, born Victor Santiago, hired attorneys at Simon Lesser PC, who came out swinging.
“The allegations by Ms. Bryan about invented interactions with Mr. Santiago from nearly three decades ago are entirely false,” his lawyer, Leonard E. Lesser of Simon Lesser PC, fumed.
The legal team’s position is crystal clear: they’re questioning why Bryan never mentioned the incident in either of her two published books about her relationships with Hip-Hop figures.
The defense is building its case around a critical gap in Bryan’s own history.
According to his attorneys, “Ms. Bryan has a long history of making salacious and contested claims about public figures. This includes a 2006 ‘tell-all’ book where she provided excruciating detail about her personal vendettas and sexual encounters with celebrities. Yet nowhere in this ‘tell-all’ (or her 2018 book, ‘Life After Child Support: When The Checks Stop Coming’) did she mention Mr. Santiago or anything resembling this alleged incident.”
If the alleged 1999 assault had actually occurred, they argue, it would’ve been included in those detailed accounts of her personal experiences with famous men in the industry.
Bryan, who shares a child with rapper Nas, filed a lawsuit claiming that N.O.R.E. sexually assaulted her at a Manhattan nightclub during an album promotion event in May 1999.
She alleges he physically overpowered her despite her repeated objections and only apologized after recognizing who she was.
Bryan says she stayed silent for over two decades because of the pervasive misogyny in Hip-Hop culture at that time, and she only decided to pursue legal action after watching Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy in 2023.
N.O.R.E.’s legal team is characterizing the lawsuit as “legally groundless” and vows to defend him aggressively in court.
They’re framing this as part of a pattern in which Bryan makes sensational claims about public figures, and they’re confident they’ll expose what they call her fabrications during litigation.
The statement also notes that N.O.R.E. allegedly denied even knowing Bryan when she first informed him about the lawsuit in March 2026, which his attorneys say contradicts her narrative about their shared history in the industry.
The case is being pursued under New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, and Bryan is seeking both compensatory damages and compensation for emotional distress.
N.O.R.E.’s legal team concluded their statement by declaring, “We will defend Mr. Santiago from this legally groundless lawsuit and look forward to exposing Ms. Bryan’s fabrications in court as we clear Mr. Santiago’s good name.”
N.O.R.E.’s Drink Champs podcast has become one of Hip-Hop’s most influential media platforms, and this legal challenge could significantly impact his business operations and public standing in the industry.
]]>The Fulton County District Attorney’s office issued a public declination statement, which Big Tigger emphasized doesn’t happen often in these types of situations.
He released a video explaining that most DA offices keep their decisions private, but this one came with a full public explanation of why they declined to prosecute.
“I got them charges dropped,” he said. “The district attorney, this is not normal. When they decide to not do the charge, it’s called a declination. Usually they don’t put out a public declaration. I think you should Google the district attorney and the reason she declined my charges. It’s all in there. Like the entire story. It’s like the entire story,” Big Tigger said.
The whole situation started back in May when Sandy Springs police investigated an alleged domestic dispute at Big Tigger’s home involving his estranged wife, Alicia Brown.
According to police records, Brown told investigators that an argument over his cellphone escalated into a physical confrontation where she claimed Big Tigger pushed her into an office door, causing a facial injury that needed medical treatment.
Their teenage son was inside the house during the altercation and heard what happened. Big Tigger denied the allegations from the start.
In June, Sandy Springs police arrested Big Tigger on aggravated battery, battery, and third-degree cruelty to children charges.
He was booked into the Fulton County Jail but released after posting bond.
A judge then granted Brown a temporary protective order requiring Big Tigger to stay at least 200 yards away from her and their children, and she got temporary custody of the kids and exclusive use of their family home.
The situation spiraled from there, with videos circulating online that appeared to show physical altercations between the couple.
The legal chaos expanded when Francesca Amiker, Big Tigger’s V-103 cohost and a former 11Alive anchor, filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Brown in late June.
Amiker alleged that Brown used multiple social media accounts to spread false statements claiming Amiker was having an affair with Big Tigger and was somehow responsible for Brown’s injuries.
According to the lawsuit, Brown posted things like “Someone ask my husband why my face happened @francescaamiker ,” which Amiker says falsely implied she either assaulted Brown or was connected to violence against her.
Amiker claimed the posts went viral, led to harassment and threats directed at her, cost her career opportunities, and forced her to hire a crisis management firm under a 12-month contract.
Meanwhile, Brown’s own legal troubles mounted when she was arrested on July 6 during a traffic stop on Interstate 85 on a Maryland kidnapping warrant connected to the 2019 disappearance of a 10-year-old child.
She wasn’t prosecuted for that arrest, but she filed a federal lawsuit against Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat and his office, alleging the warrant was erroneous and that her arrest violated her constitutional rights.
Brown claimed she had a court order granting her custody of her children less than two weeks before the arrest, and the warrant was later recalled.
She also alleged that Big Tigger received preferential treatment from the sheriff’s office and had unusual access to law enforcement, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
Reflecting on his case being dropped, Big Tigger acknowledged that public perception shaped how people viewed his situation.
“There’s one thing I learned through this process. People going to think what they want to think. People want to believe what they believe. Luckily for me, my name, my history, my character, and all of that, I have 30 years of that on display. And luckily, the majority of people believed in me, stood by me, and represented me. So, thank you for those that did,” Big Tigger said.
Looking ahead, Big Tigger indicated he’s taking time to rebuild his personal life.
When asked about dating, he made clear he’s not ready.
“Am I dating? No, I’m going to need a minute. My trust level in new people is at an alltime low,” he explained.
]]>The singer released her first full length album in six years on Friday, September 11, and listeners immediately started dissecting lyrics that seem to revisit the wreckage of a very complicated romance. Naturally, the internet believes Sean is the man catching lyrical strays.
Jhené does not appear to explicitly say, “Big Sean cheated on me.” But she certainly gives listeners enough breadcrumbs to construct an entire bakery.
On “He Belongs,” she delivers a brutal assessment of a man apparently incapable of becoming what somebody hoped he would become.
“Can’t turn a fling into a real thing. Can’t turn a promise into a wedding ring. Can’t turn a h*e into a husband.”
OUCH.
But another lyric circulating online has turned this from ordinary breakup music into an episode of “Cheaters.”
“Who the f**k is Lisa? Who the f**k is Paige? Who the f**k is Brittany, get the f**k out of my face!”
Excuse me?
Lisa, Paige and Brittany, somebody somewhere would like a word!
Fans immediately connected the lyrics to Big Sean because of the pair’s lengthy romantic history. Jhené and Sean were linked romantically for years after establishing a musical relationship that produced TWENTY88 in 2016. They eventually welcomed their son Noah in November 2022. Their relationship has endured breakups, reconciliations and plenty of music documenting the emotional terrain.
That history makes these new lyrics especially combustible.
But there is an important distinction. Unless Jhené identifies Sean directly or provides additional context, we cannot declare that Lisa, Paige and Brittany were actual women involved with him. We also cannot independently confirm that Sean cheated based solely on lyrics.
Still, Jhené knew people would connect these dots.
And right now, the internet has three questions.
Who is Lisa?
Who is Paige?
And Brittany, respectfully, what happened? LOL!
Big Sean has some explaining to do, even if he ultimately explains absolutely nothing.
]]>The R&B singer’s ex-wife filed a response to his defamation lawsuit this month with a straightforward defense: Brian McKnight destroyed his own image through his own actions and statements, so she couldn’t have defamed him.
Julie’s legal team cited what they call “pre-existing self-inflicted reputational damage” in their filing.
The defense points to years of public statements Brian made about his own children, including calling them “products of sin” and “evil” back in 2023.
His daughter had already filed her own defamation case against him in 2020, which meant the public already knew about the family’s fractured relationships.
Julie’s argument is simple: you can’t damage someone’s reputation when the person himself already damaged it.
But Julie isn’t just defending herself. She’s also countersuing Brian for allegedly breaking a confidentiality agreement in their 2014 marriage settlement.
According to TMZ, the countersuit claims he violated the terms they both agreed to years ago.
The whole situation stems from Brian’s April lawsuit against Julie, one of his sons, and several bloggers.
He claimed they spread false narratives about him abandoning his children and refusing to tell his dying son Niko that he loved him.
Niko died from Stage 4 colon cancer at just 32 years old after battling the disease for two years.
Family members have said Niko wanted to hear those three words before he passed, and Brian Jr. has publicly stated his father refused to say them.
The court will ultimately decide whether her defense holds up, but for now, she’s making it clear she won’t back down from defending herself against his claims.
]]>The operation marks a major escalation in what started as a chaotic altercation that left Ben10 with permanent paralysis from the waist down.
The incident itself was brutal.
Surveillance footage showed Detroit rapper Allstar JR fighting off multiple attackers who were trying to rob him of his jewelry inside the restaurant.
During the struggle, a gun hit the ground, and JR picked it up and started firing. Three people were hit by rounds that night, but Ben10 took the worst of it.
After the initial shots, JR allegedly walked up to Ben10 on the ground and fired three more times at close range, then tried to squeeze off another round at his head before running out of ammunition.
According to TMZ, the FBI and partner agencies coordinated the arrests across multiple states, but they haven’t announced the specific charges against Ben10, OG 3Three, and the other four people yet.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas is handling the case, and they’re keeping details close to the vest for now.
What makes this situation complicated is that Ben10 is an associate of NBA YoungBoy, and the Houston connection runs deep through J Prince Jr.
The beef between these camps has been simmering for months, with Allstar JR already facing federal gun charges for the initial shooting. Now the investigation has widened to include people who were at the scene that night.
The paralysis Ben10 suffered isn’t something he’s going to recover from.
He’s dealing with a lifetime of consequences from those moments inside Confessions, and now the legal fallout is expanding in ways nobody expected.
]]>Nicole Barnes, 51, filed the case back in March 2025, accusing the St. Louis artist of posting her address and home image on Facebook while encouraging her massive social media following to “kick in the door” and conduct violence at her residence.
According to AllHipHop‘s reporting, the underlying beef stemmed from tensions between Sexyy Red and the father of her child, with Barnes caught in the crossfire.
Her attorney, Steven Weaver, made it clear that his client had nothing to do with whatever conflict sparked the social media posts.
“We did try to informally resolve it, and her attorneys thought it was a joke,” Weaver stated, highlighting how the initial attempts at settlement fell apart.
The consequences for Barnes have been severe and ongoing. She’s had to abandon her Hazelwood home entirely, now living in constant fear and requiring professional counseling to manage the trauma.
The lawsuit alleges assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
Barnes couldn’t locate Sexyy Red through standard legal channels, so she pursued service by publication in a newspaper instead.
What makes this case particularly intense is the family connection at its center.
Barnes is seeking $5 million in damages, and since Sexyy Red hasn’t responded to the lawsuit despite being properly served, she’s now pushing for a default judgment in that amount.
Sexyy Red’s lawyer Jason Lampert fired back with a statement, saying, “The claims asserted in this case are baseless and completely without merit. Red categorically denies these allegations and looks forward to defending herself in court.”
According to TMZ, the judge hasn’t ruled on Barnes’ motion for default judgment yet, leaving the case in limbo as the legal process continues to unfold.
The rapper, who boasts 5 million Instagram followers, now faces the possibility of a massive financial hit if the court sides with Barnes and grants the motion.
]]>The energy was different because he wasn’t just performing his catalog; he was bringing out the people who helped build it. Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams both stepped on stage to remind everyone why this moment mattered so much.
Timberlake came out midway through the set, and they locked into “Holy Grail” together, the 2013 track that still hits different live.
After that collaboration, JT stayed on the mic and delivered “Until the End of Time” to the crowd, and Paris was eating every second of it.
The connection between these artists was real, not forced, and you could feel it in how the performance flowed from one moment to the next.
Pharrell was the first guest to hit the stage, and he brought the production energy that made so many of these records possible.
They ran through “Excuse Me Miss,” “Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me),” and “Frontin'” before diving into “Allure,” which Pharrell produced and Jay-Z called his favorite joint of the night.
The chemistry between them showed why their collaborations have lasted this long and why people still care about what they create together.
The setlist was a masterclass in longevity, pulling from every era of his career. “Tom Ford,” “Hard Knock Life,” “Big Pimpin’,” “Izzo,” “Run This Town,” “Family Feud,” “U Don’t Know,” “Dead Presidents,” “No Church in the Wild,” and “Dirt off Your Shoulder” all got their moment.
This Paris show is part of his 30-year anniversary tour celebrating Reasonable Doubt, the album that changed everything when it dropped in 1996.
He’s also marking 25 years of The Blueprint, which came out on September 11, 2001, and shaped how people understood what a rap album could be.
The tour already hit London with Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and others, and it’s heading to Los Angeles on October 23rd and 24th for the final shows.
]]>The celebration came weeks after the perfume’s August 19 release, marking Ice Spice’s first move into beauty through an Ulta Beauty exclusive.
In gallery photos, Ice Spice wore a cream strappy top with a sheer red skirt, sky-high nude heels and long honey-brown hair beneath a black printed cap.
She posed inside the purple-lit After Eden lounge beside a friend, carrying a quilted beige bag while photographers crowded close to capture the look.
The Bronx rapper named the scent after her 2023 breakout record “In Ha Mood,” which she called the right starting point for a larger fragrance plan.
“I had a few songs where the titles could have worked,” Ice Spice told ELLE. “But ‘In Ha Mood’ just feels right because that was my first big song with a real music video and budget. It was the first single I pushed after being signed to a major label. It only feels right to start my first perfume with my first big song.”
In Ha Mood is a floral fruity amber eau de parfum developed with Revlon Fragrances and perfumers Adriana Medina, Christine Hassan and Carine Certain Boin.
Its opening features the Queen Royale Accord, a blend of berry fizz, pear and wild raspberry, followed by rose, plum blossom and magnolia.
Vanilla absolute, magenta moss and amber create the scent’s base, while the light-pink bottle uses a butterfly-shaped bow and emerald-cut cap.
“Vanilla is something that I just can’t let go of,” Ice Spice said in a recent interview. “I’ve loved it since I was a baby. I think that’s just because my mom always had vanilla scents in the house growing up.”
She also described the perfume as an extension of the confidence attached to the song that inspired it.
“I just feel so confident when I hear it,” she said. “And when I wear In Ha Mood the scent, I feel confident as well, so I feel like they’re just the perfect pair.”
The Fashion Week function marked Ice Spice’s first major public appearance since AllHipHop chronicled her provocative “Saint” and “Sinner” tattoos, red script inked on the backs of her upper thighs beneath each butt cheek.
Ice Spice unveiled those tattoos in a video wearing striped boy shorts and a matching top, captioning the post, “For the love of the game.”
In Ha Mood remains available exclusively through Ulta Beauty in 0.33-ounce, one-ounce and 3.4-ounce sizes priced from $28 to $79.
