SIGNS: Ex-Ivy League Student Arrested As Person Of Interest In UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

The case of the high profile murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson took a shocking new twist after a suspect has been arrested in connection to the crime.

According to multiple reports, authorities arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, a former data engineer and Ivy League graduate, on Monday (December 9) in connection to the fatal shooting that occured in New York last week. Mangione was apprehended at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an employee recognized him from media coverage and alerted police.

New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed Mangione’s arrest, describing him as a person of interest in the December 4th shooting. Officers discovered Mangione seated in the back of the McDonald’s, wearing a blue medical mask and working on a laptop. When asked to remove the mask, officers identified him from circulated photos.

Mangione was allegedly carrying multiple fake IDs, including a fraudulent New Jersey ID that police say was used by the shooter to check into a Manhattan hostel before Thompson’s murder. Upon questioning, Mangione reportedly became “visibly nervous” and began shaking when asked if he had been to New York recently. After initially lying about his identity, he eventually provided his real name, telling officers, “I clearly shouldn’t have” when confronted about the falsehood.

Authorities recovered a 3D-printed “ghost gun” with a suppressor consistent with the weapon used in the shooting, along with clothing and a mask matching descriptions of the suspect. They also found a handwritten document expressing Mangione’s grievances against corporate America, though police believe there are no additional threats stemming from the note.

“It does seem that he has some ill will toward corporate America,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny noted, which may hint at a motive.

Mangione, a University of Pennsylvania graduate with an impressive résumé, shocked former acquaintances with his arrest. Former roommate R.J. Martin, who lived with him in a co-living community in Hawaii, told CNN, “He was a very thoughtful person. Communicated really well, was friendly, had good relationships with everyone. He was absolutely not a violent person, as far as I could tell.”

Martin recalled Mangione’s struggles with health issues, including spinal surgery earlier this year that left him with screws in his body.

“He sent me the X-rays… It looked heinous, with just giant screws going into his spine,” Martin said, adding that their communication eventually fizzled out.

Mangione was charged with multiple offenses in Pennsylvania, including forgery, possession of an unlicensed firearm, and false identification to law enforcement. He was ordered held without bail during his first court appearance, where he did not enter a plea.

Azealia Banks Wants $1M From Matty Healy Over Online Feud

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Azealia Banks is demanding $1 million from Matty Healy after an escalating online feud between the rapper and the 1975 frontman.

The dispute started with social media exchanges and reached new heights Sunday when Azealia Banks shared a cease-and-desist letter drafted by her attorney, Wallace J. Collins III.

The letter, addressing Healy’s alleged “threats of violence” and defamation, accuses the English musician of targeting Banks with harmful language, including racial slurs, and making statements damaging her professional reputation.

Banks also cited a specific instance where Healy reportedly threatened to “slap her so hard” during their public back-and-forth.

The conflict initially stemmed from Banks remarking on a post about Charli XCX, a mutual acquaintance tied to Healy’s bandmate George Daniel.

“Your attacks against my client’s professional reputation, your overt racial epithets, and your most recent threats of physical violence against my client have been well-documented since you published them worldwide online,” Collins wrote in the letter, claiming to possess screenshots of Healy’s deleted comments.

Healy’s actions, described by Collins as malicious and in bad faith, prompted the rapper to request a legal resolution.

Banks is asking for a public apology and a $1 million settlement to avoid litigation.

“Your removal of the damaging attack posts and your acknowledgment that your reaction was inappropriate does not undo the damage,” the letter continued, “but rather constitutes evidence of an admission of guilt by you.”

While Healy’s representatives have not responded publicly, the singer addressed the controversy on social media.

In a series of posts on X and Reddit, the musician apologized and expressed regret for his behavior.

“I just feel dreadful about how I acted,” he wrote. “I think Azealia … has a heart, and I hate that I have contributed to her mental fragility. She’s a human.”

EXCLUSIVE: JAY-Z Demands Emergency Hearing To Lawyer’s “Shakedown” Attempt

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Exclusives

JAY-Z is calling for an expedited federal court hearing to address allegations his legal team decries as baseless and harmful to his public image.

His attorney, Alex Spiro, is accusing Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee of orchestrating a deliberate campaign to coerce a settlement and smear JAY-Z’s name through what he called “a shakedown.”

“Due to the highly sensitive nature of this matter and the intense media scrutiny it has generated, we respectfully request to be heard on an expedited basis. For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Carter is entirely innocent. This is a shakedown,” Alex Spiro stated in a formal letter to the court on Monday (December 9).

He emphasized that JAY-Z has no involvement in a criminal case concerning Sean “Diddy” Combs, clarifying, “JAY-Z is not a suspect or even a person of interest in that case.”

At the core of the lawsuit is an anonymous plaintiff identified as “Jane Doe.”

Jane Doe, the alleged assault stemmed from an encounter with a limousine driver near Radio City Music Hall, who suggested she attend the party because she “fit what Diddy was looking for.”

Jane Doe claims she was given a drugged drink that left her incapacitated, and she has sought anonymity throughout the legal proceedings.

Initially filed in October with Diddy as the sole defendant, the lawsuit was amended to include JAY-Z on Sunday (December 8).

However, JAY-Z’s legal team opposes the plaintiff’s request to remain anonymous, citing principles of judicial transparency.

“Transparency in judicial proceedings is a fundamental principle,” Spiro argued. “The plaintiff has failed to demonstrate any compelling reason to depart from this rule.”

Spiro also criticized Buzbee’s approach, accusing him of manipulating media coverage to bolster unfounded claims against the Hip-Hop mogul.

He described the effort as a campaign of misinformation that unfairly sways public opinion and pressures his client to settle.

“This relentless campaign underscores the need for a fast-track hearing to address these issues promptly and prevent further harm,” Spiro noted in the court filing.

JAY-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has vehemently denied the accusations and said Buzbee’s actions are an attempt at extortion.

The rapper released a public statement condemning the lawsuit, calling it a “heinous” and calculated attempt to exploit the power of public scrutiny.

“My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee,” JAY-Z said in a statement. “What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No, sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!”

JAY-Z urged Buzbee to file a criminal complaint if the allegations had merit, stressing his belief in the criminal justice system.

“These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one. Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”

Spiro also wants the lawsuit dismissed entirely, asserting there is no credible evidence to support the accusations.

He urged the court to move swiftly to avoid further harm to JAY-Z’s reputation.

 

Beyoncé’s Mother Screams “I Was Hacked” Following Controversial “Like” About JAY-Z

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, found herself in a heap of controversy after she supposedly “liked” a social media post about JAY-Z’s latest legal troubles. On Monday (December 9), Knowles shared an Instagram post claiming she was the victim of a hack job.

“I was hacked!” she wrote. “As you all know I do not play about my family. So if you see something uncharacteristic of me. Just know that is not me!” She added in the caption, “Please stop playing with me !!!! ‘No weapon formed against my family shall prosper.'”

The comment section, of course, wasn’t kind and people immediately began acting suspicious. One person asked, “How you get hacked and they only liked one post??” while another wrote, “OH STOP IT …. You got CAUGHT….. all of a sudden you were hacked lmao.” But others were more supportive, saying things like, “Ms. Tina post about 20 times a day everyday… it makes sense she could’ve been hacked, seeing her last post was 3 days ago!” and “Let Beyoncé know the hive have got her back and we’re always going to support her.”

JAY-Z was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV VMAs after-party alongside Diddy in a new civil suit filed by an anonymous plaintiff.  The suit was initially filed in October in the Southern District of New York and named as the sole defendant. It was amended on Sunday (December 8) to include JAY-Z, who promptly denied the allegations.

“My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee,” JAY-Z wrote in part. “What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!”

Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the plaintiff, declined to comment. Most recently, JAY-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, filed docs demanding the Jane Doe be properly identified. A judge has yet to rule on that request.

Until then, read JAY-Z’s full statement below.

Slim Thug Defends JAY-Z As Conspiracy Theory Involving Beyoncé’s Mom Ignites On Social Media

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

A purported clash of Houston natives may be brewing, based on Slim Thug’s recent video and the inklings of internet sleuths trickling onto the timelines of social media concerning JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s mom.

On the heels of the news that HOV was named in a recently refiled lawsuit alleging that he and Sean “Diddy” Combs raped a minor after the 2000 MTV VMAs, the Texas rap veteran is speaking out in support of JAY-Z. However, it’s also currently being theorized that Jigga Man’s mother-in-law, Miss Tina Knowles, may have gone against the grain and publicly displayed her support for the legal action being levied against JAY-Z—or at least that what 50 Cent thinks.

When it comes to the former’s defense of his fellow rap peer, Slim Thug revealed he’s simply not at all convinced the allegations against JAY-Z are true and expressed his belief of just that during a recent Instagram Live session.

In response to a fan who commented during his livestream, “What up with JAY-Z,” Slim Thug vehemently proclaimed he’s “not guilty,” among other things.

“I don’t believe that s##t,” Slim Thug said in part. He then shared his belief that the lawsuit is part of a much larger plan to knock high-wealth Black Americans off their post.

”We gonna continue to see muthaf###as trying to take billionaires and everybody gonna share them on off of allegations with no criminal cases or none of that s##t,” he said.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Slim Thug went on to undermine Buzbee in a roundabout way, claiming he is privy to the pressure tactics lawyers often use in order to get high-profile defendants to settle out of court for large sums of money.

“Man, I’ve been telling y’all how the lawyers do I already know how that s##t go,” he said. “They try to get money try to get muthaf###as to settle because they know public opinion gonna kill them anyway. Whether you innocent or not about time, the blogs get done [kisses teeth]…that s##t all fake anyway.”

On the other hand, 50 Cent has continued his attacks on JAY-Z following the news of the lawsuit, by way of the alleged receipts showing Knowles’ apparent support of the allegations against Hov.

In a post he shared on Instagram, the G-Unit Films mogul shared a screenshot of a post exposing Knowles for “liking” a post Us Weekly shared regarding the lawsuit.

“Damn it man, mom like the Rape accusations,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption of the post before quickly following up in a comment in which he wrote, “Maybe she hit the button by accident, I did that before.”

Both 50 Cent and Slim Thug’s responses to the situation follow a statement released by Tony Buzbee, the Houston-based lawyer who is representing 120 Diddy accusers, in addition to the alleged Jane Doe victim in the recently refiled lawsuit. In his statement, Buzzbee claims HOV is harassing he and his client and claims Jay sued his law firm after he sent a demand letter on behalf of his client. He also claims that the alleged victim didn’t demand any money from HOV, but rather a private mediation

EXCLUSIVE: JAY-Z Attempting To Expose Jane Doe’s Identity Following Extortion Allegations

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

JAY-Z has filed a lawsuit demanding the name of the Jane Doe who has accused him of sexual assault when she was just 13 years old. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, JAY-Z and his attorney, Alex Spiro, are vigorously fighting for her anonymity to be broken.

“For months, an extortionate campaign has been targeting this named Defendant under cover of darkness,” the docs, filed Monday (December 9), read. “That campaign was cynical and calculated to force payment of an exorbitant sum of money—Defendant would have to pay X millions of dollars irrespective of the truth, or else. “When Defendant refused to pay and instead took measures to establish his innocence, this unnamed Plaintiff and her self-promoting counsel (whose name has been splashed across headlines and press conferences under auspices of representing her) went to extraordinary lengths to shut down fair defense.

“But those efforts, too, failed. Now, at last, the false, unfounded allegations that underlie this campaign of extortion are having judicial light shined on them—except that this Plaintiff is bringing them as a Doe, who would continue to hide under cover of darkness.”

The docs go on to call Jane Doe and attorney Tony Buzbee’s tactics “unfair” and request a dismissal of the allegations completely or disclosure of her identity.

“It is not consistent with justice, fairness or the rules governing federal proceedings for the Plaintiff and her counsel to smear Defendant’s good name in ways that are calculated to feed media coverage and thus inflict maximum public-relations damage while the core fact of Plaintiff’s identity, revelation of which stands to discredit her entire case, remains wholly hidden from view,” the docs continue. “Whereas Doe status is reserved for truly extraordinary cases and predicated upon extraordinary justification, here a multitude of powerful considerations cut precisely the opposite direction—as other judges of this Court have ruled in cases involving the same circumstances.”

JAY-Z stands accused of assaulting the young girl at a 2000 MTV after-party alongside Diddy, who’s currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on multiple charges. Initially filed in October in the Southern District of New York, the lawsuit first had Diddy listed as the sole defendant but was amended on Sunday (December 8) to include JAY-Z. 

The Roc Nation mogul was approached about the allegations before the refiling, leading him to believe the suit is nothing but an extortion attempt.

JAY-Z quickly addressed the allegations, writing in part, “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!”

Elsewhere in the docs, Spiro insists, “[JAY-Z] has built an impeccable reputation. He has never been accused of, let alone engaged in, any sexual misconduct.” 

SIGNS: UFOs Over New Jersey Or Is Elon Musk Up To Something?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Over the past few weeks, New Jersey residents have been buzzing (pun intended) about some mysterious drones popping up across the state.

These aren’t your typical toys. Law enforcement and even the FBI, are trying to figure out what’s going on.

Most of the sightings have been happening at night in various parts of central and southern New Jersey. Even Staten Island, NY, has seen some. I wonder if Wu-Tang is doing the knowledge on this. Anyway, here is the craziest part to me: These drones have reportedly been as big as an SUV. Can you imagine seeing drones the size of your CAR cruising through the night sky?

Maybe.

What are these drones doing, and who’s behind them?

“They weren’t your regular, store-bought drones,” said Walt Miller, police chief in Evesham Township. “Some were as large as an SUV and had blinking lights.” Some people have felt like these were UFOs, but not the agencies on these types of things. The FBI is on it.

SIGNS: Images Of UFO Shot Down By U.S. Fighter Jet In Canada Last Year Released

This is so crazy, because people have been spotting drones almost nightly. These drones are becoming a problem. For instance, on December 4, a medevac helicopter couldn’t land to help a car crash victim because drones were buzzing in the area. Flight restrictions have been put in place over places like Picatinny Arsenal Military Base and Trump National Golf Club Bedminster. The FAA has stated that there will be a price to pay if you go near the president elect!

Now, in the digi-streets, they are saying it is just some mess that Elon Musk is testing out. I am not sure I believe that, but it would make more sense than a UFO to me. Still, the inability to identify these drones or locate the source is strange too. I am thinking something as large as an SUV will be easy to track down.

If you see one of these drones—or have footage—get to snitching! I am nosy enough to advocate for snitches on this one. You can call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324 or send tips and videos to www.tips.fbi.gov.

Keep your eyes to the sky, New Jersey!

Master P’s Son Was Almost Victim Of Snitching According To Report

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

Yo, this one’s wild! Hercy Miller, son of Master P, got jammed up on some charges. I could not believe the headlines when I saw them. Hercy and his teammates, Brock Felder (20) and Peter Dadson Jr. (25), were hit with theft charges for allegedly snatching refrigerators from their school campus. Yeah, refrigerators. Can’t make this up. Again: refrigerators.

The student was hit with a big “F” momentarily. But here’s the plot twist: Hercy might just dodge the felony charge. Prosecutors reportedly filed papers to drop the case against him, and a final decision is expected thus week. I think they worked it out or he was never guilty to begin with. Refrigerators, y’all.

Last week, Hercy and his crew were arrested for allegedly jacking $1,500 worth of fridges off a loading dock near the campus bookstore in Cedar City, Utah. Surveillance footage from November 11 shows the squad loading the fridges into their rides like they were playing Tetris. Apparently, cops later found the stolen goods in the apartments of two suspects and the garage of the third. Rookie mistake, my guys.

More rookie stuff: Hercy and Peter allegedly told the cops they thought the fridges were trash because they’d been sitting on the dock for weeks. Then the dude Brock reportedly snitched up, saying Hercy and masterminded the whole thing. By the way, Pete is kind of old be be in college with these shenanigans. SMH.

Hercy: Nobody can be trusted out here in these streets! As the son of a millionaire and a college kid, do not do this again! Best wishes!

I am going back in time and playing some Master P.

Offset Sparks Model Romance Rumors Amid Claims He Cheated On Cardi B With Chrisean Rock 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Offset has kept a relatively low profile amid his recent divorce from Cardi B, but was going viral over the weekend amid rumors he’s dating model Anok Yai and claims he slept with Chrisean Rock while still married. 

The gossip began after footage surfaced online of the former Migos rapper talking to the 26-year-old Egyptian model. Anok Yai was spotted sitting in a vehicle while chatting to Offset.  

Meanwhile, his sighting with Anok Yai came as an alleged friend of Chrisean Rock repeated claims that Offset cheated on Cardi B with the reality TV star turned rapper.  

A woman named Janet was spilling the tea during a recent Instagram Live session. She claimed Rock admitted to sleeping with the married rapper and leaving jewelry behind for Cardi to find.

Offset Responds To Rumor He Cheated On Cardi B With Chrisean Rock

The rumor first arose last December when Blueface accused Chrisean Rock of sleeping with Offset.  

“Being tatted on a hoe is not a flex,” Blueface said, referencing the mother of his youngest son. “You literally f##### Cardi B’s husband [a] couple [of] weeks ago. I’m tired of n##### looking at me while they f###### you, get the rest of em gone ASAP please” 

He also added, “‘Tried to keep [your] secret but you keep popping it on these apps, ima only state facts every time… So you ain’t f##### Cardi’s husband [on] November 10th at 4 am at their house in LA… I’m making this up?” 

Offset shot down Blue’s allegations, replying, “I ain’t never talk or touch that lady. Real talk man, you need some help!” 

Cardi B also responded, stating that while she didn’t believe he slept with Chrisean Rock, she and Offset already broke up. 

“I don’t think it’s true,” she said on Instagram Live. “I don’t care to find out because I’ve been single for a minute now.” 

Hitkidd For President: Hit Maker Discusses All He Learned From GloRilla & “F.N.F.”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Exclusives

D-Nellz goes on a journey of life and learning with super producer Hitkidd.

Hitkidd’s journey into the music world started young—like, toddler-level young. Growing up in Memphis, he was born into the studio, with a dad who was deep into the music scene. It’s really in his bloodline and his father planting the seed. Surrounded by Memphis music makers, Young Hit caught the beats bug early.

By 14, he was already diving into production. Using FL Studio with a neighbor, he started experimenting, and sharing his creations. That ability to create a unique spin on everything, lead to collaborations with heavyweights like Bladee, Duke Deuce, and Lil Uzi Vert. He’s also the mastermind behind GloRilla’s breakout hit, “F.N.F.,” which catapulted her to superstardom.Hitkidd can do it all, staying true to himself and blending seamlessly with others. Now, he’s got even bigger dogs like ASAP Rocky, Megan Thee Stallion, Juicy J in his catalog.

Now he’s embarking on a new journey.

Hitkidd For President, his debut project, is a full-on celebration of Memphis Hip-Hop. The album pays homage to Three 6 Mafia’s iconic style and even brings back the late, great Gangsta Boo into his mix. With Hitkidd For President, he’s reminding everyone why he’s one of the most sought-after producers in the industry. The album isn’t just a collection of beats; it’s packed with vibes.

Here’s a chat between our own D-Nellz and the Memphis maestro.

AllHipHop: Yeah. When André 3000 said, “The South got something to say,” I think Memphis got something to say now. So, let’s talk about Memphis and the culture in general.

Hitkidd: I think it is going to get bigger. A lot of the underground sounds are coming out of different places, especially Atlanta. They have that underground wave going and they eventually become mainstream. But Memphis going eventually find a totally different sound, get it, pick up in different genres and go crazy like that…

AllHipHop: I know you’ve had the opportunity to collab with Juicy J. How was that being a Memphis kid in the studio with Juicy J?

Hitkidd: Well, he DM’d me right before “F.N.F.” came out or right after. A lot of people DM me but I was super excited about Juicy J. I had just worked with Project Pat too though.

We had been finding each other on Twitter, but I feel like now’s the time. I’m ready to be able to really truly work with them and me and Juicy had really locked in. I had to realize this is where I’m at now. I’m here now. I am one of the ones. I never been the type to be starstruck, but I appreciate my time to be able to work with everybody that I was inspired by. And he just keeps me inspired the more I work with him. I’m super grateful to be able to do that.

AllHipHop: You touched on “F.N.F.” a bit and I think you caught fire then. I’m pretty sure you done told the story a million times already, but as far as what you’ve learned from that experience with the “F.N.F.” – the business part of it. When you’re cooking up with people from around the way, you’re just worrying about getting the music out there. A lot of times you don’t talk about the business…

Hitkidd: I ain’t lie bro. That whole time, bro, I’m learning something every day. I’m like dang, “I should have did this. I shouldn’t did this, I should have did this, I shouldn’t have did that.” But the main thing is just contractually just make sure everything is set up properly. That was the biggest thing. Other than that, I had fun.

All the ups and downs,I don’t regret none of that. I feel like that was needed and I’m glad it happened earlier. So it is not susceptible to happen again. Sometimes it’s a little scary, because when people get to talking about paperwork, it is like what you, I didn’t know. I’m just here working, so I’m like locked in like, “Man, it’s just me and you, bro, we do it. Let’s go. I got to settle like this. Me and you get this, I get that.” It’s just like that and stuff happens.

AllHipHop: No I hear you.

Hitkidd: Just for example, like the “F.N.F.” case, ain’t nobody give me no money for the beat. My song overall, but ain’t nobody give me no money for the beat. It was just like understood when the song blow up, when she signed, I wasn’t looking to get paid from them to put the song on their project. It was already understood. So yeah, definitely just make sure everything contractually makes sense.

AllHipHop: Now when you go through that and you get on the other side of it, is there the feeling of anger? When you get to the other side, is there love lost? Some people hold grudges.

Hitkidd: I’m never on that type of time, because the spaces we had to be in, you had to see people again. So it’s like what’s the point of even feel like you got to be having that energy every time we fixing to be around each other. You making money, I’m making money. Who cares? I don’t look at nothing like it’s that serious. I’m I am not going to kill you or fight you. This don’t really make or break me. I’m a man before I make music.

AllHipHop: I respect that man.

Hitkidd: A lot of people didn’t know me. I don’t care about it; I ain’t on the type of time, bro.

AllHipHop: Man, I love that.

Hitkidd: Anywhere I go..that’s just me.

AllHipHop: Nah, I love that. And you’ve got to have those type of morals when you running for president. Right? And this is a beautiful segue is Hitkidd For President, right? Why the title Hitkidd For President?

Hitkidd: Definitely. I already had it came up with the idea. I dropped a mix tape where I had DJs on it trying to bring back that vibe of the DJs talking and popping in over the songs. In 2017, it was Hitkidd For President, just a mix tape. People look at a president to be like this and that. So I take it as, I’m a leader.

AllHipHop: Was there any hesitation? Did you ever think, man, I don’t know if this might be the right time to drop something like this with this going on or you like, man, I’m just going to go with it.

Hitkidd: Yeah, I’m like man, I’m having fun. I’m great.

Enjoy Hitkidd For President.

Saweetie Addresses 21 Savage Romance & Latto Shade Rumors 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Saweetie is clearing the air amid rumors she’s dating 21 Savage, who’s been linked to Latto for years. 

A recent trip to Dubai earlier this month sent the rumor mill into overdrive, with social media users speculating she hooked up with the “Rich Flex” hitmaker during her visit. 

Although neither Saweetie nor 21 Savage initially commented on the rumors, the “ICY GIRL” rapper has had enough after Latto was dragged into the mix. 

She responded in the comment section of her interview with the social media channel Mystery Fashionist on Sunday (December 8). A user called Saweetie out for using Latto’s “Big mama” catchphrase in the interview.

A post shared by Fashion is a mystery; (@mysteryfashionist)

“Messy starting like that w all the 21 cheating on Latto w her speculations,” read the comment.  

Saweetie was quick to fire back, claiming that she “literally never met” 21 Savage before borrowing another Latto slogan. 

“Go get some money & get off the internet,’ she added. “BROKEYYYYYY.” 

Many fans in the comment section backed Saweetie with one writing, “LOVED HOW YOU CLEARED THAT!” Another questioned whether Latto was even dating 21 Savage, writing, “Why do yall still believe that mess?” 

A third noted that Saweetie and Latto have no history of tension, pointing out their past collab. “I never seen them beefing it’s always been love,” they wrote. “The internet yall gotta stop making up lies and running with them.” 

While the rumors have persisted over the years, Latto and 21 Savage have refused to respond. Nonetheless, Latto ‘s Sugar Honey Iced Tea album earlier this year fueled the flames.  

“I’m a dime and n#### twelve the way they out here tryna cuff,” she raps on “Good 2 You,” while on “Settle Down,” Latto spits: “Lay a hoe down and lay up with a savage.” 

Ebro Darden asked Latto about the 21 Savage rumors during an interview in August. 

“The internet don’t know a g###### thing, let’s start there,” she said. “I like being private. It ain’t really nobody’s business. Listen to the music and you’ll know what you need to know.” 

Fat Joe Addresses Possible Name Change Amid 100-Pound Weight Loss  

By: London JennnCategory: News

Fat Joe is opening up about his impressive weight loss journey, touting the benefits of Ozempic and addressing calls to change his name after shedding a whopping 100 pounds. 

The Terror Squad founder recalled what kick-started his journey during a recent appearance on Big Boy TV. Fat Joe revealed he was inspired to lose weight after a friend passed away due to weight-related complications. 

“That’s when I went on super lose weight mode,” he began. “Working out two times a day. Not even eating a cracker. I call it crackhead mode, you know what I’m saying.” 

Big Boy, who also lost over 300 pounds following weight-loss surgery, asked Joey Crack whether he has ever considered a name change and if he’s concerned about losing his identity. 

“We spent so many millions to this day millions of millions of millions of dollars,” he explained. “When Fat Joe comes out at the World Series, they say, ‘Rapper Fat Joe.’ Now if they just said, ‘Rapper Joe,’ you wouldn’t know who the hell that is. We spent all our money pumping up Fat Joe, that even if I slim down even more than this, I gotta be Fat Joe, cause we spent all the money on Fat Joe.” 

Fat Joe Talks Ozempic

The “Lean Back” hitmaker previously confessed to using Ozempic to shift the weight. During his talk with Big Boy, Fat Joe praised the weight-loss drug as the “greatest invention ever” before calling out those who refuse to admit using it. 

Check out the video below. Fat Joe discussed his weight loss around the 9:40 minute mark.

Meanwhile, the Bronx native is gearing up to release a new album. The World Changed On Me is slated for release on December 13. He recently shared the cover art for the project, an image of Joe and his late brother Angel.

Pusha T Says Kendrick Lamar Spoke To Drake’s Soul: “That’ll Cause You To Sue” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Pusha T once locked horns with Drake and has a unique perspective on the recent battle with Kendrick Lamar.  

The Clipse rapper was asked about the feud during an appearance at Miami Art Week while speaking to journalist Ari Melber at Saint Sessions Live. He repeated his previous assertion that Lamar won the battle, declaring him “1,000%” the winner, highlighting Lamar’s lyricism alongside his scathing attacks.  

“I think that Kendrick is a lyricist and a lyricist that talks to your soul,” Pusha explained. “Like, you can be clever … you can say cute things, you can do things in cadences, and so on and so forth, right, but the truth really hurts, and the truth, I mean, the truth like cuts deep.” 

Pusha T also addressed the fallout, including Drake’s recent lawsuits. 

“I think what Kendrick was doing was really talking to his soul,” he added. “I believe that, and I believe that’s, you know, that would cause you to tap out, that’ll cause you to sue, that’ll cause you to do a lot of things. It’s crazy.” 

Drake shocked the industry with his legal complaint against Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify, alleging an illegal scheme to boost streams of K. Dot’s “Not Like Us.” Drake upped the ante a day later, filing a second action against UMG and accusing K. Dot of defamation for “falsely accusing him of being a sex offender.” 

Pusha T Addresses Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” Lyrics

Meanwhile, Melber also asked Pusha T for his thoughts on Lamar name-dropping him on “Euphoria.” 

“I don’t like you poppin’ s### at Pharrell, for him, I inherit the beef,” K. Dot raps on the track/ “Yeah, f### all that pushin’ P, let me see you push a T/ You better off spinnin’ again on him, you think about pushin’ me?” 

Pusha T stated, “I guess he was just telling him, you know, he needed to address me before he comes back and try to go at him.” 

Meek Mill Calls Out “False Narratives” Amid JAY-Z & Diddy Explosive Lawsuit  

By: London JennnCategory: News

Meek Mill is speaking out after JAY-Z was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl with Sean “Diddy” Combs after the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. 

The explosive allegations rocked the music industry and sent shockwaves online as users reacted to news of the lawsuit on Sunday evening (December 8).  

Meek Mill has come under intense online scrutiny after being named in producer Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Diddy. He took to X (Twitter) hours after reports of the new filing. 

“The goal is to start false narrative to create a matrix web,” Meek began. “If you can control the story line you can control the matrix …. American media is totally unbelievable!  I see “Jayz “ _____ a 13 year old girl 300 times scrolling it’s called programming.” 

He also posted follow-up tweet, adding, “The rap up smear.” 

However, users flooded the replies, telling Meek Mill to “sit this one out,” and urging him to stop tweeting.  

“Thanks for showing us You’re probably guilty as well,” wrote one person, while another added, “I expected you to run cover…. This is sick work.” 

A third said, “Jay z was close friends with R. Kelly, diddy, and Harvey Weinstein now there’s suddenly no way he could be a predator??? LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO.” 

X/Meek Mill

It’s not the first time the Philly rapper suggested something sinister is behind the allegations. In October, Meek Mill reacted to JAY-Z and Beyoncé issuing Piers Morgan with a cease and desist demand after Jaguar Wright made “serious allegations” against the couple on his show.     

“F### is going on a silent war…..” he wrote alongside a clip of Morgan apologizing.  

JAY-Z Denies Allegations

Meanwhile, JAY-Z has staunchly denied the allegations in a lengthy social media statement. He blasted attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed the complaint on behalf of the alleged victim, accusing him of attempted blackmail.

Diddy’s Attorneys Slam New Lawsuit Naming JAY-Z As “Shameless Publicity Stunt” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team has responded to reports of an amended lawsuit accusing JAY-Z of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl alongside the Bad Boy Records boss.  

“This amended complaint and the recent extortion lawsuit against Mr. Buzbee exposes his barrage of lawsuits against Mr. Combs for what they are,” Diddy’s attorneys told TMZ. “Shameless publicity stunts.” 

Attorney Tony Buzbee filed the bombshell allegations on Sunday (December 8). The lawsuit was initially filed in October with Diddy as the sole defendant but was updated to include Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter. 

The complaint alleges Diddy and JAY-Z “drugged and raped a thirteen-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 Video Music Awards.” The suit also claims a female celebrity “stood by and watched as Combs and Carter took turns assaulting the minor.” 

JAY-Z has fiercely denied the allegations. Diddy’s attorneys say the “barrage” of lawsuits is “designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them, just as lies have been spread about Mr. Combs.” 

Diddy’s team added, “As his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process.  In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”  

JAY-Z Denies The Allegations

JAY-Z issued a statement categorically denying the allegations and responding to Buzbee directly.  

“These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one,” he wrote. “Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.”

Meanwhile, Tony Buzbee posted a statement accusing JAY-Z of harassing him and his family. 

“Regarding the JAY-Z case and his efforts to silence my clients: Mr. Carter previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm,” Buzbee stated. “He filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym. What he fails to say in his recent statement is that my firm sent his lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim, and that victim never demanded a penny from him. Instead, she only sought a confidential mediation. Since I sent the letter on her behalf, Mr. Carter has not only sued me but has also tried to bully and harass me and this plaintiff. His conduct has had the opposite effect. She is emboldened, and I’m very proud of her resolve.” 

Lawyer Tries To Shift Narrative In JAY-Z Situation

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

I’m not going to play any games; you folks in this internet world have called for, wished for and attempted to manifest bad things for JAY-Z. Well, you got your wish. However, I’m taking a different position: I don’t believe a word of it. That’s how I feel, and I love the energy JAY-Z has brought to this situation because it represents a defiant, unapologetic voice. Normally, you’d expect a lawyer or PR representative to take the lead, but no—JAY-Z stepped up himself. I’m sure the lawyers will speak next, but he spoke from an honest and passionate place.

In true legal fashion, attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed a lawsuit on behalf of a woman identified as “Jane Doe,” seems to be trying to reshape the narrative. He alleges that JAY-Z has harassed him and his family. Here’s exactly what he said:

“Regarding the JAY-Z case and his efforts to silence my clients: Mr. Carter previously denied being the one who sued me and my firm. He filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym. What he fails to say in his recent statement is that my firm sent his lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim, and that victim never demanded a penny from him. Instead, she only sought a confidential mediation. Since I sent the letter on her behalf, Mr. Carter has not only sued me but has also tried to bully and harass me and this plaintiff. His conduct has had the opposite effect. She is emboldened, and I’m very proud of her resolve.

“As far as the allegations in the complaint filed, we will let the filing speak for itself and litigate the facts in court, not in the media.”

Buzbee also claims that he and his family are being harassed and “followed by mysterious people,” suggesting these actions are linked to JAY-Z. Additionally, he alleges that his colleagues, employees, and clients are being contacted in attempts to turn them against him.

To recap: Attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed the civil lawsuit accusing JAY-Z of raping a 13-year-old girl, has shared a new Instagram post after JAY-Z accused him of extortion. Buzbee claims harassment, surveillance by mysterious individuals and interference with his professional relationships—all allegedly tied to JAY-Z.

But here’s an interesting twist: believe it or not, I know a thing or two about this situation. Let’s just say, “it’s not coming from JAY.” I will discuss more later…or not.

Snoop Dogg Expresses Interest In Taking Over On “MasterChef”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Snoop Dogg has openly stated his desire to step into Gregg Wallace’s judging role on the British cooking competition show MasterChef, following allegations of inappropriate behavior that have cast a shadow over Wallace’s reputation.

Wallace, 60, recently stepped back from his duties on the long-running BBC series after accusations concerning his behavior on set emerged, including an allegation of harassment from a female ghostwriter who worked with him on his autobiography.

While he has not been fired, pending investigations have put his future on the show in doubt, with special episodes featuring him now pulled from the BBC’s Christmas lineup.

Snoop Dogg, the Hip-Hop legend turned cultural multi-hyphenate, sees this as his chance to bring his culinary passion to a British audience.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, he said, “You better believe Snoop could be the new MasterChef judge. My boy Gordon [Ramsay] judges on the U.S. version of the show, and I know he would back me to be able to judge on the U.K. version. He knows I’m not playing when it comes to food. He knows I can cook—I have even given him some tips.”

Snoop, who co-hosted a cooking show in the U.S. titled Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, added, “I’ve always been vocal about wanting to work on a U.K. show. I love the place—and for real, this could be the perfect opportunity.”

Meanwhile, Wallace’s legal representatives have flatly denied the allegations, stating, “It is entirely false that [Wallace] engages in behavior of a sexually harassing nature.”

However, the ongoing investigation has clearly impacted his relationship with co-host John Torode, 59, who expressed dismay at recent developments.

Speaking to media outlets, Torode said, “The thought of anyone who has appeared on our show not having a brilliant experience is awful to hear, and I have found the recent press reports truly upsetting.”

For now, the future of MasterChef’s judging panel remains uncertain, but with Snoop Dogg’s candid declaration, the possibility of a distinctly American flair to the U.K. show could present an intriguing shift.
