Yaya Mayweather Offers Her Take On Saweetie & Quavo-Inspired Birkin Debate

There is currently a wild social media debate over Birkin bags, believe it or not.

Despite half of the people commenting not being able to afford a $10,000+ bag, everybody seems to have an opinion on the matter. There are women co-signing Saweetie’s message that men should be buying their partners Birkin bags and paying their bills, standing their ground and echoing the remark. Then, there are those who say that, if you can’t afford your own purse, you shouldn’t expect anyone else to buy one for you. Finally, there’s the crowd that is just shopping at Telfar instead.

With a good number of people reacting to the debate on social media, Yaya Mayweather has officially chimed in, and she’s team Birkin.

“Wait a minute… this is getting out of hand,” she said in her initial message. “I’m starting to see too many people on this app with Birkins like their just some regular bags that you can go buy. Some of these Birkins gotta be fake and I’m not saying everybody’s is fake. I’m not trying to be funny but let’s make somethings crystal clear. For one, you can’t just walk into an Hermès store and buy a Birkin. You have to be like a member in order to buy them. Two even if you are a member you can only buy so many a year (and because of this is why my dad sometimes goes overseas to purchase them).”

She continued with her fresh take on the situation, giving an educated stance on the Birkin bag.

“I really want to comment on this whole ‘Birkin topic’ but I’ma just sit this one out because I don’t want to have some of y’all in a frenzy,” added Yaya. “Just know when you speaking Birkins you speaking Iyanna Mayweather, and if you feel other wise let’s argue!”

Do you think NBA Youngboy has her locked down with a Birkin allowance?

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.

The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.

The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.

The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Deaf Radio returning to a place that feels familiar but has changed on “No Place Like Home”

Deaf Radio offers a deeply affecting experience with “No Place Like Home,” a haunting meditation on grief, memory, and the enduring connection between family and place. Rather than a story of loss, the song invites listeners into the emotional experience of returning to a place that feels familiar but has changed.

It’s an open letter to the people, the moments that used to make home. It captures the unsettling experience of walking into a house where everything is still there, the clothes, the scents, the light streaming through the windows, but the person who gave those details meaning is gone. There is only a lingering ache that fills every room.

It’s a complex emotional journey that runs just under eight minutes in “No Place Like Home.” Its structure does not allow for repetition, each section uncovering another layer of feeling. The song begins with a hushed looping arpeggio and the striking line “your tough mother’s love”, immediately setting a deeply personal tone. From there, it spills out into spare, humane verses before exploding into ninety seconds of crushing guitars and feedback that feel like grief breaking through emotional constraint.
