While her 143 album has received a mountain of pushback, most notably around its professional affiliation with Dr. Luke, there is one collaboration fans are digging: During the VMAs, Katy Perry debuted her track “I’m His, He’s Mine” with Doechii.
Now, the unapologetically possessive record, which samples Crystal Waters’ “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless),” has an official music video to match. Throughout the video directed by Torso, Katy Perry and Doechii demonstrate just how they mark their romantic territory.
“I’m his queen, I’m his freak / I’m every woman he wants and needs / I’m his dream, I’m his drug / I’m every woman he wants, so what? / I’m his boss, I’m that b*tch / I’m every woman he knows exists / I’m his main, I’m his side / I’m every woman that’s in his mind,” sings the pair.
From daredevil like stunts to full-on PDA, Katy Perry and Doechii hold nothing back. In interviews, Katy Perry discloses intimate details of her relationship with Orlando Bloom, but “I’m His, He’s Mine” takes it to another level.

Even though Kate Winslet is known for that one really famous love story, some might say that Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the superior romance movie that features a soul-crushing tragedy.
Winslet starred alongside Jim Carrey in the 2004 sci-fi drama which tells the story of Joel and Clementine’s painful breakup that caused them both to undergo a procedure to erase their memories of each other. The movie went on to earn some Oscar nominations and in the years since its release, it has found a new audience with younger viewers.
This year, Winslet stars in Lee, a biopic of photojournalist Lee Miller that is directed by Ellen Kuras, who happened to work on Eternal Sunshine all those years ago. Winslet told Time Magazine that she has noticed the newfound admiration for the 2004 film. “There’s something really special about Eternal Sunshine somehow becoming an inspirational narrative for those young people who are still figuring it all out,” Winslet said. The movie celebrated its 20th anniversary this year with some snazzy new merch and a limited theatrical re-release, proving that its popularity has remained intact over the years.
Winslet also expressed surprise at Ariana Grande’s latest album, Eternal Sunshine, having numerous references to the film. She asked, “I mean, how old must she have been when the movie came out?” To answer, she would have been 10, so definitely not old enough to watch a hear-wrenching breakup tale. Winslet’s 34-year-old costar, Josh O’Connor, revealed that it’s one of his favorites, so that has got to be worth something.
In March, Grande dropped a music video for “We Can’t Be Friends” which followed a very similar plot to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. “I think the movie is so beloved because so many people can relate to knowing that something isn’t right but loving so much and wanting to stay,” the singer said at the time. “I think it kind of fell into place that these songs had little tidbits of that theme. I just felt really inspired by it.”
Next up, Winslet stars in Lee, which hits theaters on September 27th, and, eventually Avatar: Fire and Ash.
After entering his plea, Timberlake spoke to reporters outside the courthouse (find a video of that here), saying:
“Many of you have probably been covering me for a lot of my life, and as you may know, I try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself. And this was not that. This was not that. I found myself in a position where I could have made a different decision, but I’ve had some time to reflect on that. And I also understand by, you know, the fact that all of you are here, that I have a platform, you have a platform. We share that platform.
And so what I’d like to say to everyone watching and listening: Even if you’ve had one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car. There’s so many alternatives. Call a friend, take an Uber, there’s many travel apps. Take a taxi. This is a mistake that I made, but I’m hoping that whoever’s watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake. I know that I certainly have. And like I said: Even one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car. […]
I grew up in a small town, so I can appreciate and understand the strained or unique nature that this must have been on the people of Sag Harbor, but I just want to say to everyone who’s been involved — from everyone in the courtroom to everyone outside, including the police department — that I’m very grateful and I thank them. I guess in closing, I’d like to say we can all be more safe out there, and I’m going to do my part. I hope that everyone else does their part, and thank you very much.”
Timberlake also agreed to do 25 to 40 hours of community service and pay a fine that had yet to be revealed.
Over on X (formerly Twitter), Victoria revealed the forthcoming album’s release date, writing: “ JAGUAR II DELUXE is otw!! 10/4! It’s available for pre-order right now. go do that please .”
Back in February during an appearance on iHeart Radio’s The New Hit List, Victoria confirmed she begun working on the project but was hesitant to share any further details. Now, supporters have a better understanding of what’s to come thanks to a sit down with Apple Music’s New Music Daily, we know Jaguar II will feature several new tracks within the parameters of the Jaguar musical universe.
So far, Victoria has released one new track, “SOS (Sex On Sight)” with Usher, which is slated to appear on the upcoming body of work. Over on the Apple Music pre-save page, eight unnamed tracks will join “SOS (Sex On Sight),” and Victoria’s Bryson Tiller duet “We Might Even Be Falling In Love” to make up the Jaguar II Deluxe‘s official tracklist.
But this project is bittersweet moment for Victoria’s superfans. Victoria has made it clear that Jaguar II Deluxe marks the end of this era sonically. However, there’s still more to come.

While Ice Spice’s debut album Y2K!didn’t exactly set the world on fire, it’s generally agreed that the standout song is “Popa.” Naturally, that’s the latest song from the project to get the music video treatment, and the video is, well, basically a strip club commercial. There are lots of G-strings and BBLs and pretty much everybody is twerking for most of its two-minute, 40-second runtime. Don’t watch it at your desk, is what I’m saying here.
Ice Spice and her entire generation have come to prominence under a truly ridiculous amount of scrutiny. That she’s able to shake it off, stick to her guns, and continue to deliver is something to admire, even if you don’t always agree with the content.
With the release of his upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, The Weeknd looks to complete a trilogy of projects begun by his 2020 album, After Hours, and continued by its 20022 followup, Dawn FM. Trilogies are something of a recurring theme for the Canadian superstar, as it was his trio of haunting mixtapes (2011’s House Of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence) that first put him on the map as a moody, mysterious musician with a multilayered approach to songwriting. He’s expanded on that reputation ever since, transforming so completely for each new release, that he’s become music’s biggest concept artist.
In starting his current, ongoing trilogy, The Weeknd not only took a big musical swing in a new sonic direction, but he also crafted a bizarre character to suit the glittering, synth-heavy sounds. While he kicked off the rollout for After Hours by introducing his red-and-black suit and retro stunna shades in the video for “Heartless,” it was the follow-up video for “Blinding Lights” that truly set the tone for the After Hours era; the bloodied protagonist, wandering the Las Vegas strip to the pulse-pounding sounds of synthwave created the unsettling contrast that would define that album’s messaging.
With each new visual from the album, that unsettling vibe got more and more horrific. The After Hours short film found Red being compelled by unseen forces, while the gory “In Your Eyes” video subverted its own horror-thriller tropes, ending with Red decapitated by the woman he appeared to be stalking throughout the clip. By the time of the “Too Late” video, Red’s head had been transplanted onto a new body by plastic surgery addicts in Beverly Hills, setting up the eye-popping, puffy-faced version from the “Save Your Tears” video, which ended on yet another ambivalent note, with Red finally getting something akin to closure.
Like the preceding era, the change over to Dawn FM happened gradually. The “Take My Breath” video carried over some of its predecessor’s attributes, but now, Abel’s suit was black-on-black, the violence was toned down and more psychosexual. If the After Hours visuals were concerned with the violence inherent in the pursuit of the hedonistic lifestyle enjoyed by Red, then Dawn FM‘s visuals looked at the sexual and social repercussions thereof. Black finds himself trapped in a soul-stealing ritual in the video for “Sacrifice,” ending the video with his youth stripped away.
In “Gasoline,” he’s haunted by ghoulish specters and a youthful doppelgänger that taunt him at what appears to be a crowded nightclub. The elder Black returns to get revenge on his double in “Out Of Time,” only to find himself losing his identity even further in the voyeuristic video for “Is There Someone Else?” Musically, Dawn FM slides all over the dial, from easy listening to pulsating EDM. In describing the album’s themes, he likened it to “being stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel” in a state of purgatory after death.
If anything, “Dancing In The Flames,” the first video from Hurry Up Tomorrow reinforces and doubles down on that idea, featuring yet another Weeknd character getting into a violent encounter, this time, ending up on the wrong side of a face-off with a semi truck. His latest character ends up wandering a ghostly wasteland and seeing a light that could represent the afterlife. Fans have speculated that if Dawn FM was about Purgatory and that made After Hours about Hell, then perhaps Hurry Up Tomorrow will find Abel entering the Pearly Gates.
Or not. If anything, the Toronto native is famous for his swerves, for offering up the unexpected, and for crafting projects that defy expectations. While it could be argued that he might be getting overly reliant on these convoluted narratives to tell his stories — even on stage, he’s been known to incorporate characters, like his The Idol antihero Tedros, or whatever the knockoff MF DOOM thing he did in Spain was supposed to be — the truth is, this constant reinvention has been a huge part of building his popularity to what it is today. By letting his imagination run wild, he keeps finding fertile new veins of creativity that keep him at the top of his craft.
Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. The floodgates are open, and we’re drowning in an ocean of amazing sneaker drops this week, which is a nightmare that pretty much every sneakerhead has had at least once. Though I’m not sure if we’d all agree that such a dream should be considered a nightmare.
This time around we’re being treated to a full list of 10 drops, with representation from the big three — New Balance, Adidas, and Nike. The highlight of the week is definitely Nike’s collaboration with the Amsterdam-based streetwear brand Patta, who have joined forces to bring back the legendary Nike Air Max 1 Chlorophyll. Jordan fans will be treated to new colorways of the AJ-1 and AJ-5, while Adidas is linking up once again with Wales Bonner.
That’s just scratching the surface of what we’ve got this week, so let’s just dive into it. Here are the best sneakers of the week.
New Balance has gotten the memo that right now sneakerheads are obsessed with Y2K era silhouettes, which is why the brand is bringing the 1000 out of the vaults and giving it a modern makeover. This sneaker — which originally dropped in 1999 — features a sleek shape and design with a leather upper adorned with suede overlays, synthetic underlays, reflective accents, and an ABZORB midsole.
The colorway features a dip-dyed esque design, with the bottom portion in bubblegum pink, and the top portion in an earthy sandstone color. A thin stripe of green mesh separates the colors.
The New Balance 1000 Real Pink with Sandstone is out now for a retail price of $149. Pick up a pair at New Balance or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
The young English fashion designer Wales Bonner is back with Adidas, reviving the legendary Neftenga sneaker, a design inspired by the sneakers worn by Ethiopian Olympian Haile Gebrselassie during the 2008 Berlin Marathon, a race in which Gebrselassie set a world record.
The Adios Neftenga takes the same yellow and black colorway worn by Gebrselassie but outfits this sneaker with modern running tech like an ultra-lightweight synthetic and textile upper, metallic accents, and reflective details for enhanced night visibility.
Rounding out the design are Wales Bonner branded tongue tags.
The Adidas Wales Bonner Adios Neftenga are out now for a retail price of $220. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app.
While the late 2024 sneaker season has been incredibly uneven (that’s the nicest way I can say it) you can always count on Nike to drop at least one great Jordan every week. This week we get two!
First up is the Jordan 5 “El Grito” aka Sail and Dark Pony, a sneaker that pays homage to Mexico just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month. The sneaker features a leather upper with embossed leather details at the heel, asymmetrical midsole shark tooth motifs, a dubrae that reads “VIVA,” and red, green, and white lace locks that are meant to recall the Mexican flag.
The Air Jordan 5 El Grito Sail and Dark Pony is out now for a retail price of $210. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
The Devin Booker Book 1 is quickly becoming one of our favorite new silhouettes, but generally the sneaker is a bit understated and sleek. That’s not the case with this week’s Light Orewood Brown rendition of the sneaker, which covers the upper in a faux snakeskin leather all-over upper in a mix of brown and off-white tones.
It’s a wild design, and we’re curious to see if this is a new avenue opening up for the look of the Book 1.
The Nike Book 1 Leather Light Orewood Brown is out now for a retail price of $150. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNRKS app.
SB Dunk fans have been spoiled by Nike lately. Over the summer, we’ve been graced with a handful of great Dunk colorways, and now as we enter September and edge toward Fall, it looks like Nike is keeping up the momentum.
The Sesame and Pear features a tough durable leather upper with textile details and an autumnal colorway that combines tan, brown, and bright green. It looks great, it’s not quite as exciting as the sneaker we’re about to cover, but it has a similar color palette that has us hyped for the fall sneaker season.
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Sesame and Pear is out now for a retail price of $125. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Hands down, this collaboration between Amsterdam-based brand Patta and Nike is our pick of the week. The Air Max 1 Chlorophyll is a refresh of a 2009 colorway that has solidified itself as one of the greatest Air Max 1 colorways of all time. The sneaker features a mixed mesh, leather, and textile upper, with dual branding, and a mix of grey, green, and lime tones.
Expect a lot of competition if you plan on picking this one up this week.
The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Chlorophyll is set to drop on September 13th for a retail price of $160. Pick up a pair at PattaxNike or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
Last week we got the Clogposite, and now, this week Nike is dropping a new Foamposite colorway. So, if you love the alienesque futuristic sheen of the -posite family, revel in it because you’ll probably never get this much attention from Nike ever again. The Foamposite One features a shimmering metallic blue upper with contrasting black nubuck eyestays and rides on an icy translucent outsole.
The Nike Air Foamposite One Royal is set to drop on September 13th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $240. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
Damian Lillard’s DAME 9 Purple Burst takes a very modern silhouette and design and wraps it in a vintage colorway that recalls ‘90s sneaker aesthetics. The DAME 9 sports a synthetic upper, textile lining, and Adidas’ Lightstrike cushioning with an internal bootie design that is made to fit snuggly against your foot.
Despite its festive purple color, this sneaker is designed with performance in mind, sporting a full-length Torsion bar throughout the shoe, which should provide some stiffness to the feel. The design prioritizes speed, so if that’s your court style, this is the sneaker for you.
The Adidas DAME 9 Purple Burst is set to drop on September 13th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $120. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app.

Air Force 1 ’07 x PEACEMINUSONE “Para-noise 3.0” Black and Multi-Color
K-Pop’s G-Dragon is hitting Nike with his latest design, a slight alteration of the mighty Air Force 1. The sneaker sports a black leather upper with multi-colored Swooshes, daisy tongue tags, and a metallic midsole that looks straight out of an ‘80s sci-fi movie.
It’s radical and out there, yet slightly retro. A perfect encapsulation of G-Dragon’s vibe.
The Air Force 1 ’07 PEACEMINUSONE “Para-noise 3.0” Black and Multi-Color is set to drop on September 14th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $200. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Closing out the week, we’ve got the Jordan 1 High Midnight Navy. There isn’t much to say here, it’s a high-top Jordan 1 in a classic colorway. It’s one of the laziest designs Nike has dropped all week, and yet, we can’t look away. The Jordan 1 needs a few things to be a hype-worthy. As long as it is high-top, leather, and sports a cool colorway, then consider us sold!
It’s sad, but that’s the power of the Jordan 1.
The Nike Air Jordan 1 High OG Midnight Navy is set to drop on September 14th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $180. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

With the release of NBA 2K25, fans have been able to get a little head start on the 2024-25 season. While a lot of attention is paid to the MyPlayer career mode, plenty of fans use the game to build their ideal roster for their favorite team.
Kevin Durant recently sat down with Sauce Gardner to do battle in 2K, and Durant got asked how he would build his ideal team in the game. The “in the game” aspect is important, because video game basketball is not real life basketball, but KD’s starting five did have a surprising inclusion.
Durant, as one would expect, put himself on there, a long with LeBron James. Those are not controversial, and neither was his selection of Joel Embiid at center. At guard, he went with a pair of Dallas Mavs, but not the two you’d expect, as he put Luka Doncic and Klay Thompson, not Kyrie Irving, together.
Kevin Durant’s current ‘perfect’ starting 5:
PG — Luka Doncic SG — Klay Thompson SF — Kevin Durant PF — LeBron James C — Joel Embiid
Thompson is the only real stunner, but in the game Thompson’s two-way versatility is still a benefit and the game is perhaps a bit kinder to Klay when it comes to consistently finding his best level. As KD notes, Thompson’s size at 6’7 earns him the nod, as Durant clearly wants as tall a lineup as possible with no one under 6’7 on his squad. Still, not opting for Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, or his Suns teammate Devin Booker is a bit of a surprise, but KD clearly has a ton of love and respect for his former teammate in Golden State.
As NBC New York reports, Timberlake appeared at a Long Island courthouse today, September 13. There, he pleaded guilty to driving while ability impaired, a downgrade from the DWI with which he was initially charged. Driving while ability impaired is a non-criminal offense.
Timberlake will have to pay a fine, and while the amount hasn’t been determined, driving while ability impaired typically carries a fine between $300 to $500, along with a 90-day driver’s license suspension.
The judge also said Timberlake has to make a public statement warning against the dangers of drinking and driving. Timberlake will also have to do between 25 and 40 hours of community service, with the final number depending on how his public statement goes. Per NBC News, Timberlake will volunteer at a nonprofit of his choosing.
Timberlake’s forthcoming statement will be his first time publicly addressing the situation directly; He said at a concert shortly after the incident, “We’ve been together through ups and downs and lefts and rights, and it’s been a tough week, but you’re here, and I’m here, and nothing can change this moment right now. I know sometimes I’m hard to love, but you keep on loving me and I love you right back, thank you so much.”
Sometimes love is a losing game. Joey Badass has certainly expressed this thought a time or two before in his music. But so has Uproxx cover star Chlöe. So, it is only right that the two (at times) skeptics of love come together to air out their grievances.
On Joey Badass’ new song, “Tell Me” featuring Chlöe, romantic paranoia takes center stage. “More money, more problems” has been an anecdotal fixture in rap tracks, but so has more famous, more lustful eyes. Joey Badass carefully navigates this tightrope all across “Tell Me.”
“Tell me, why you in love with me / Is it money or the fame / Or the fact that I’m livin’ in a lab, but it’s luxury / Tell me why all of suddenly you wanna come kiss up with me / Used to pass a n**** by like tumbleweed / Used to play me by the side ’til I got a little buzz like a bumblebee / Now you can’t get enough of me / Why you fallin’ in love with me,” raps Joey.
Chlöe echoes this inquisitive spirit through the chorus, repetitively singing: “Tell me why you really in love.”
The only thing left to wonder is if the track will be green lit for an official video. Joey Badass previously guest starred in Chlöe’s visual for “Cheat Back.” Now, fans are curious if round two of their on-screen chemistry is on the way.
Listen to Joey Badass’ new song “Tell Me” featuring Chlöe above.
