Hype Driving: A Supreme® X Automobili Lamborghini Collection Is Here [Photos]
Source: Supreme® / Supreme®
Even though retail is shut down right now one of the biggest clothing brands in the world is still in the fast lane when it comes to collaborations. A Supreme®X Automobili Lamborghini collection has been unveiled.
The world’s most beloved street wear brand is now joining forces with a automobile manufacturer known for their approach to luxury motoring. Born in 1916 in northeast Italy, Lamborghini established a highly successful tractor factory after serving as a mechanic in World War II. By 1960, he’d helmed several other businesses. Lamborghini then turned his attention towards a long-held interest: luxury sports cars.
In 1966, Automobili Lamborghini introduced the Miura, which featured a rear mid-engine and rear wheel drive. Its influential design and construction set a standard for high-performance sports cars globally and established the company’s dynamic legacy. The Miura’s name, and the company’s emblem, was inspired by Ferruccio Lamborghini’s interest in Spanish bullfighting. Many iconic models that have followed the Miura over nearly 60 years – including the Diablo, Murciélago, Aventador, Huracán and Urus – allude to bullfighting history.
Supreme has worked with Automobili Lamborghini on a new collection for Spring 2020. The drop consists of a Hooded Work Jacket, S/S Shirt, Hockey Jersey, Coverall, T-Shirt, Skateboard and Beanie. Each piece is co-branded with the iconic bull logo with Supreme copy placed subtly throughout.
This collection will be available only online starting April 2nd but all orders over $150.00 are eligible for free shipping. More photos can be found below.

Drake, J. Cole, & The Weeknd FaceTime Fan Who Died From Cancer
Drake, J. Cole, and The Weeknd are opening their hearts.
The superstars FaceTimed with a young fan named Elijah shortly before he passed away from cancer. The heartwarming moment was captured on camera by Elijah’s cousin Michael Watson, who shared video of the 11-year-old speaking with his favorite artists.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, man,” Cole tells Elijah, who is surrounded by his family at his home in Hampton, Virginia. After Cole tells him, “I love you, dude,” Elijah’s face lights up. “I appreciate that smile, sir, thank you,” adds the Dreamville rapper.
Elijah is even more surprised when The Weeknd calls in. “Whoa!” he says before the After Hours singer thanks him for being a fan. “I’m so honored to be one of your favorite artists, buddy. Thank you,” says The Weeknd.
In another touching moment, The Weeknd tells Elijah, “Love you, buddy,” while he responds, “Love you too.”
Drake can also be seen on a FaceTime call with Elijah in a photo shared by his mother, Kiara Swope.
After a three-year battle with cancer, Elijah sadly passed away on Friday, according to his cousin. “Over the past 3 years, my 11 y.o. cousin, Elijah, has battled cancer with the utmost resilience. Elijah’s physical fight is now complete, as he transitioned to heaven on Friday,” wrote Michael. “He didn’t leave this world without knowing how much he was loved though. Last weekend, Elijah got to ‘meet’ 3 of his favorite artists — The Weeknd, J. Cole, & Drake. Incredibly grateful for these 3 super-humans being so caring for my family during this time. We’ll hold onto these moments forever.”
Elijah’s mother also thanked Drake, Cole, and The Weeknd, along with NASCAR racer Joey Logano, for showing her son so much love. “I just want to say a huge Thank you to @realcoleworld @theweeknd @champagnepapi & @joeylogano for showing my baby some love these last difficult days of his life,” she said. “I truly appreciate you all.”

Auntie Maxine Waters Dunks On Trump, Called Him “Incompetent Idiot”
Source: Samuel Corum / Getty
For those keeping score at home, Rep. Maxine Waters has fired off a number of jabs and quips in the direction of President Donald Trump. Her latest missive came via Twitter as she blasted the former business mogul over his handling of the COVID-19 crisis.
The California congresswoman fired off her latest blows on Monday (March 30) as the nation continues to grapple with the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. President Trump’s response to the situation has been criticized in the media and by pundits on the sidelines, but Waters’ pointed words have been among the sharpest yet from an elected official.
“Trump, stop congratulating yourself! You’re a failure & you’ve mishandled this #COVID19 disaster! You’re not knowledgeable & you don’t know more than experts & generals. Your ignorance & incompetence are appalling & you continue to demonstrate that every time you open your mouth,” read one tweet.
Waters came back with another writing, “Trump, you incompetent idiot! You sent 18 tons of PPE to China early but ignored warnings & called COVID19 concerns a hoax. You’ve endangered doctors, nurses, aids, orderlies, & janitors – all risking their lives to save ours. Pray 4 forgiveness for the harm that you’re causing!”
As it stands, Congresswoman Waters and President Trump will never cross the bridge of friendship, at least not anytime soon. Waters echoes the sentiments of many who feel that the Trump administration’s handling of COVID-19 has been largely pushing forth lofty projections and misinformation at an almost daily clip.
Trump’s initial plans of reopening the economy by Easter has been shot down repeatedly by medical experts on all sides, prompting him to bend to the will of science and extend his projection until the end of April at best.

Alicia Keys Recalls Being ‘Manipulated’ and ‘Objectified’ by Photographer at 19 in Memoir
Alicia Keys is gearing up for the release of her memoir More Myself and she recalled the moment she felt “manipulated” and “objectified” at 19 years old.
The singer wrote that during a magazine photoshoot the photographer convinced her team to do the shoot alone. After that, he instructed her to “Open up your shirt a little” and “Pull the top of your jeans down a bit in the front.”
“My spirit is screaming that something is wrong, that this feels sleazy. But my protests, lodged in the back of my throat, can’t make their way out,” Keys writes. “I swallow my misgivings, tuck my thumb between the denim and my skin, and obey.”
The 39-year-old who was preparing for the release of her debut album, Songs in A Minor, says she went home and cried after the shoot. “This isn’t about me showing some skin, which I’ll do on my own terms, for my own purposes, in the coming years,” she writes. “It’s about feeling manipulated. It’s about being objectified.”
Alicia Keys says her manager at the time was appalled at the magazine shoot and was “embarrassed” and “ashamed” at the end results. “I now understand why the photographer wanted my team out of that room,” she writes. “A nineteen-year-old girl is more pliable than a set of her grown-ass managers.”
She added, “I swear that I’ll never again let someone rob me of my power,” Keys writes, adding, “It’s a promise I still work to keep.”
