Donald Trump Tries To Link Kamala Harris To Diddy’s Crimes With Doctored Image

Donald Trump attempted to implicate Kamala Harris in Diddy’s legal troubles by reposting an altered photo of the Vice President on Truth Social.

Trump, who has amplified lies for years, shared a meme of Diddy’s face edited onto an old image of Harris. The meme suggested Harris was involved in the “Freak Offs” detailed in the indictment against Diddy.

“Kamala doing the Diddy?” the meme read. “Madam Vice President, have you ever been involved with or engaged in one of Puff [Daddy’s] Freak Offs?”

The original photo showed Harris posing with her then-boyfriend Montel Williams and his daughter in 2001. Williams reacted to Trump supporters using the image to associate Harris with Diddy on Tuesday (September 17).

“Here they go again with ‘all black people look alike,’ Williams wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Trump’s MAGA loyalists ignored or overlooked his connection to Diddy. Trump once called the Bad Boy Records founder “a good friend” on the NBC reality show The Apprentice.

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, was indicted for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. The indictment exposed how he allegedly abused, threatened and coerced women into participating in sexual activity he referred to as “Freak Offs.”

“Freak Offs were elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during and often electronically recorded,” the indictment explained. “In arranging these Freak Offs, Combs, with the assistance of members and associates of the Combs Enterprise, transported, and caused to be transported, commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally. Freak Offs occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers. During Freak Offs, Combs distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant. Sometimes unbeknownst to the victims, Combs kept videos he filmed of victims engaging in sex acts with commercial sex workers.”

Diddy pleaded not guilty to the federal charges. He remains in jail after two judges denied him bail.

Rich Homie Quan’s Girlfriend Is “Devastated, Numb & Angry” After His Death

Amber Williams, Rich Homie Quan’s longtime girlfriend, mourned his death in a heartbreaking Instagram post on Friday (September 20). Williams reflected on their relationship as she struggled to cope with the loss of her partner.

“This has to be the toughest thing I’ve ever endured,” she wrote. “Don’t even know how to gather my words. When I met you I had no idea how our life was gonna change for the good. You got locked up & that time apart brought us closer. Fast forward, on the rise of your career I knew what I signed up for. No one could tell me anything about you, I wasn’t going for it. Support is an understatement! I’m still gonna go hard for you til this day. Never had anything hit me this close.”

Rich Homie Quan, whose real name was Dequantes Lamar, passed away on September 5. Williams found him unresponsive in their home before he was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.

Williams said Rich Homie Quan’s death left her feeling like someone ripped her heart out of her chest. She called the late rapper her “first and last love.”

“I can’t question God but I can call on him just like I could call on you,” she wrote. “You had so much more to do but it’s on us to keep your name alive. I’m hurt, devastated, numb, angry, disappointed, just flat-out numb. I do know one thing for certain is that I gave you your flowers while you were here with us & I did my part! Idk if I’ll ever be okay!”

She added, “This hit me where it hurts the most. I love you can’t nobody tell me how to grieve or cope with this! Just want peace, you would always say ‘until death do us part’ but this was way too soon!”

Rich Homie Quan’s cause of death hasn’t been disclosed. A public funeral service was held for him on Tuesday (September 17).

Diddy Arrest Footage Surfaces As He’s Placed On Suicide Watch

Diddy’s lawyer denied he’s suicidal after the mogul was placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York. Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo said officials closely monitored his client as a routine procedure for new, high-profile inmates.

“[He is] not at all suicidal,” Agnifilo told TMZ.

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, was arrested for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution on Monday (September 16). Video of his arrest emerged on Friday (September 20).

The indictment against Diddy accused him of engaging in a “persistent and pervasive” pattern of emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Authorities said Diddy and his associates intimidated, threatened and lured female victims into his “orbit” by wielding the “power and prestige” of his business empire.

“For decades, Sean Combs … abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct,” the indictment read. “To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled—creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”

Diddy pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday (September 17). His lawyer denied any wrongdoing.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Agnifilo said. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.”

Two judges refused to grant bail to Diddy. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.

Cardi B Bids Emotional Farewell As Best Friend Star Brim Heads to Prison 

Cardi B couldn’t hold it together while talking about her best friend, Star Brim, breaking down as her bestie prepares to surrender to prison. 

On Thursday evening (September 19), Cardi joined Star Brim on her final night of freedom for a while. Brim is set to begin a one-year and one-day sentence after she pleaded guilty to involvement in criminal activities connected to the 5-9 Brims, a notorious faction of the Bloods street gang.      

The friends hopped on Instagram Live to discuss plans for Brim’s release, referring to prison as “big girl school” as Brim’s children were within earshot.   

“This is a reset,” Cardi B began. “‘Cuz when she graduate from big girl school, it’s going to be a whole brand new everything.” 

She then praised her friend’s growth over the past several years, highlighting how much she’s changed.  

“It’s like we have grown up,” she added. “You have became such a different person, and it’s just like, I really want people to hear her story and it’s so inspirational…”  

Cardi B then ducked off-screen, asking Star Brim to “cut the camera” off as the emotion became too much and she began tearing up.  She continued crying as Star Brim spoke about how much she’s overcome to get to this point in life.  

Star Brim Praises Cardi B’s Loyalty

“Cardi is never there for me when I want her,” Star explained. “But every single time I need this little b####, she’s there.” 

Cardi B then vowed to go through her own “big girl school” in solidarity with Star Brim. “If she going to be uncomfortable, I’mma put myself in situations where I’m uncomfortable,” she stated.  

In March, Star Brim pleaded guilty to involvement in criminal activities connected to the 5-9 Brims, a notorious faction of the Bloods street gang.     

She was initially ordered to surrender to prison in July. However, a judge allowed her to postpone the sentence until September 20 to allow her son to settle into kindergarten. 

On Friday morning (September 20), Star Brim shared footage of her on the way to surrender.

Amber Rose Defends Donald Trump’s Claims About Haitians Eating Pets: “Part Of Their Culture” 

Amber Rose is speaking out in defense of Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, arguing their bizarre conspiracy theories about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, cannot be categorized as racist because Haitians do eat pets.  

The model, who became a vocal Trump supporter this year despite previously blasting him, addressed the Trump campaign’s claims while talking to reporters at LAX on Thursday (September 18).  

“Why is that racist if it’s true?” she questioned. “People have come out and said that their cats and dogs hung up in front of people’s house.” 

Rose also dismissed city officials’ confirmation that the rumors were not true. “Anyone can say it wasn’t true if they didn’t hear about it,” she added. “We saw it all over the media.” 

The interview then said that Trump and Vance were “attacking the Haitian community.” However, Amber Rose disagreed, claiming pet-eating is a well-known part of Haitian culture.  

“It is a known fact that in the Haitian culture, that is what they do,” she replied. “Some Haitian people eat cats.” 

When the interview questioned whether the rumors could be attributed to the Haitian community, Amber Rose stood firm.  

“No, but if there are Haitian migrants that are there eating cats, and we know that, that is a part of Haitian culture, right?” she stated. “It’s not every Haitian person.”

Donald Trump repeated the baseless claims at the presidential debate with Kamala Harris after the conspiracy theory previously spewed by Vance. However, a Springfield official reportedly told Vance that the rumor wasn’t true before the debate, yet continued to spread the claims. 

Method Man Slams Notion Diddy’s Arrest Signals Downfall Of Hip-Hop 

Method Man has no time for the idea that Diddy’s sudden downfall is in any way related to the state of Hip-Hop culture.  

The claim was posed to the Wu-Tang Clan legend by a TMZ reporter, asking his thoughts on the idea that Diddy’s arrest on sex trafficking, racketeering and other charges signals the end of the genre “as we know it.  

Meth initially appeared baffled, asking, “How?” before adding, “I don’t think that it has anything to do with Hip-Hop. What are we talking about here really?” 

 Method Man doubled down after the reporter suggested Diddy’s indictment may cause people to view the genre differently. He also pointed out that R. Kelly still has fans despite his sex trafficking convictions. 

“It has nothing to do with hip-hop…at all,” Meth replied. “So, I don’t see the correlation whatsoever. If we’re talking about creative and music and stuff like that, there’s still people listening to R. Kelly s###.” 

Like many of his peers, Method Man has steered clear of addressing the allegations against Diddy.  

Last December, Method Man urged 50 Cent to leave him out of his feud with Diddy. The G-Unit honcho shared an Instagram clip of Meth recalling a conversation with a man who said, “‘F### Kanye West. I hate that n####. Plus I seen that n#### at one of Puff’s parties sucking dick in the bathroom.’”  

Method Man replied in the comment section. “This video fake 5,” he wrote. “You and Diddy keep me out of this s###. The real vid is on YouTube .. (method man bossip).. do your research .. yall fallin for the remix.” 

SZA Raises Concerns Over “Galaxy Gas” Nitrous Oxide Misuse Among Kids 

SZA is highly alarmed at the sale of “Galaxy Gas,” claiming the whipped cream canisters containing nitrous oxide are being mass-marketed to kids, specifically Black children. 

She took to X (Twitter) on Thursday night (September 19) to highly the worrying trend. 

“Sorry to be old n annoying but.. Is no one gonna talk about how galaxy gas came out of no where and is being MASS marketed to black children?” SZA began. “The government is doing NOTHING ? .. since when are we selling whip its at the store ???? Somebody protect the children.” 

Yale School Of Medicine Warns Against Nitrous Gas Misuse

She also shared a screenshot from a Yale School of Medicine report detailing the dangers of misusing substances containing nitrous oxide like Galaxy Gas, also referred to as “whippets.” 

“Nitrous oxide’s long-term use can lead to range of neurological, hematologic [related to blood], and psychiatric complications, including nerve damage and psychosis,” the quote read.  

The report also noted nitrous oxide is readily accessible but “can have sobering consequences, including permanent, full, or partial paralysis.” 

SZA continued, elaborating her concerns about the manufacturers.  

“Something about the childlike designs and marketing is so spooky like,” she added. “Stars and bright colors? you tryna entice the kids on purpose ? Why when u google does it say it was founded in metro Atlanta in 2021 but no further info …sumn tells me the owner looks like colonel sanders.” 

Yale School of Medicine also reports that nitrous oxide use “is now rising rapidly” among young Americans, citing a study that found “almost 13 million Americans aged 12 and older had misused nitrous oxide in their lifetime.” 

Visitors to the Galaxy Gas website are greeted with a disclaimer that “Products containing nitrous oxide are sold solely as a food processing propellant for whipped cream and culinary food use only. It is unlawful for a person to purchase products containing nitrous oxide for any purpose not intended herein and legally authorized.” 

The statement adds, “Intentional misuse or inhalation of contents is prohibited and poses a serious health hazard.” 

Meanwhile, Kanye West recently made headlines after a former staffer claimed he was dangerously hooked on nitrous oxide. The gas is used as a sedative for various dental and medical procedures.

Meek Mill Seemingly Offers $1M Payout If Wild Rumors About Him & Diddy Are True 

Meek Mill has had enough of the trolling campaign against him amid claims his relationship with Diddy was far more than just business or friendship. 

The Philly rapper had faced endless ridicule since Lil Rod dragged him into his sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy, alleging Meek had a sexual relationship with the embattled Hip-Hop mogul. 

Trolls target Meek Mill’s post, dredging up the allegations, and it’s only gotten worse since Diddy was arrested on multiple charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. 

On Thursday, (September 19), Meek hopped on social media with a question amid conspiracy theories surrounding the recent announcement Kevin Liles stepped down as the CEO of Warner Music Group’s 300 Entertainment.  

“Why all these ceos stepping down?” Meek tweeted. 

The replies were littered with references to Diddy and his baby oil stash alongside comments urging him to “read the room.” 

“bruh this n#### just be setting himself up to get cooked,” one user wrote. “Read the room.” 

Meek Mill replied, offering a $1 million payout if the rumors are confirmed. 

“I will personally give you a million dollars if these stories add up in anything weird beyond trench/hood level,” he stated. “It’s 2 things we can’t do in the trenches … it’s no way yall know what type of man I am.” 

Meek returned to X (Twitter) a short while later with a Q&A to promote his new single “CYBERTRUCK.”

He also spoke about his REFORM Alliance plans and the recent passage of the “Meek Mill Bill.”

Meek Mill previously denied the allegations about him and Diddy, claiming he was the target of a smear campaign.  

“I’m from Philly I don’t do coke or freaky ass molly … nobody won’t even offer me coke because I’m that heavy,” he tweeted in February. “No man or watt would ever approach me about gay activity and the whole place don’t get flipped … woke up seeing this on every blog like they know I’m coming! Lol.”  

Oprah Winfrey Makes Impassioned Plea For Kamala Harris At Star-Studded Election Event 

Kamala Harris sat down with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday for a “virtual rally” live-streamed from Michigan, a key battleground state. 

Hundreds of thousands of viewers turned in to the broadcast, which also featured virtual appearances from a host of A-list celebrities, including Tracee Ellis Ross, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Chris Rock and Jennifer Lopez. 

“This grassroots people-powered movement behind Kamala Harris has unleashed a unifying force unlike anything we’ve seen in politics in a very long time,” Winfrey said. “I know lots of people are feeling it, because it actually is hope and joy rising.” 

The 70-year-old media mogul made a surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month, endorsing Harris’s bid for the White House. 

“There’s a real feeling of optimism and hope making a comeback … for this new day that is no longer on the horizon but is here,” Winfrey added. “We’re living it.” 

Harris and Winfrey were also joined by the mother and sisters of Amber Nicole Thurman, who died in August 2022 after doctors failed to operate on her for 20 hours following complications from taking abortion pills, reportedly the first “preventable” death as a result of Georgia’s ban. 

“They just let her die because of some stupid abortion ban. They treated her like she was just another number,” Thurman’s older sister said.  

“You’re looking at a mother who is broken,” Thurman’s mother tearfully added. “It’s the worst pain that a parent could ever feel. I want you all to know that Amber was not a statistic. She was loved by a strong family and we would have done whatever to get our baby the help that she needed. Women around the world need to know that this was preventable.” 

Oprah Winfrey: “Let’s Do Better And Vote For Kamala Harris”

Oprah Winfrey urged “decent and caring people,” to step up and vote for Kamala Harris. “This is the moment for people who are tired of all of the bickering and all of the name-calling, people who are exhausted by the craziness and the made up stories and the conspiracies,” she urged. You know that we can do better and that we deserve better.”

Beyoncé’s Mom Denies Dissing Dolly Parton

Tina Knowles denied clapping back at Dolly Parton over the legendary singer’s opinion on the Country Music Awards snubbing Beyoncé. Knowles claimed an Instagram comment attributed to her was fake after it went viral on Thursday (September 19).

“This is fake not from me!” Knowles declared.

Blogs spread a message supposedly written by Knowles in response to Parton’s September 17 interview with Variety. Parton defended the CMAs for not nominating Beyoncé for any awards.

“Oh Ms. Dolly, we love you, but Bey did spend her WHOLE life workin’ hard, since she was 9!” Knowles was claimed to have written. “She got country roots too. She’s mastered her craft and broken records in EVERY genre. So sayin’ she didn’t ‘spend her life’ in country music dismisses all that work she put in. Bey don’t need to stay in one lane to get respect – her talent and work ethic speak for themselves! She’s been puttin’ in the work, and nobody else gets asked to ‘spend their life’ in one place to be recognized! #beencountry.”

Parton praised Beyoncé in the Variety interview. Before the release of Cowboy Carter, Parton was arguably the biggest country star to co-sign Beyoncé’s pivot to the genre.

“There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that,” Parton told Variety. “But I didn’t even realize [Beyoncé wasn’t nominated] until somebody asked me that question. But it was a wonderful album. She can be very, very proud of, and I think everybody in country music welcomed her and thought that, that was good. So I don’t think it was a matter of shutting out, like doing that on purpose. I think it was just more of what the country charts and the country artists were doing, that do that all the time, not just a specialty album.”

Beyoncé covered Parton’s classic song “Jolene” on Cowboy Carter. Parton said she’s open to performing a “Jolene” duet with Beyoncé.

Did Sexyy Red Get Curved By “Just Give Me My Money” Content Creator Tylil James On Video?

Sexyy Red may have taken a baby L during her recent livestream with content creator Tylil James. For those who may be unaware, Red and James have been seemingly getting cozy with each other as Sexyy, continues tackling dates on her sprawling arena tour.

Earlier this week, a video of Sexyy Red and James seemingly all over each other in the back of a car went viral. If you’ll recall, James, who’s responsible for the recent “ just give me my money” trend on social media, was also spotted with Ice Spice after fans began to wonder if she was making Satanic signs with her hands as the content creator said a prayer for her.

Nevertheless, it had appeared as though Sexyy and James could be becoming much more acquainted than the aforementioned after the “Pound Town” princess appeared on a stream with him. However, Sexyy Red could be moving too fast for James based on their semi-awkward interaction in stream. The small snafu occurred as James was petitioning those watching the stream for their music choice.

As he leaned in close to Sexyy, she literally puckered up to put one on him, to which Tylil James responded by turning his face away. Though at first glance, it seems like the smooch attempt may have gone unnoticed, a closer look shows both Sexyy and James seemingly locked eyes for a split second. Adding insult to injury, James pretty much forced her to sit down after the fact.

Once fans caught on to the clip, they began mercilessly trolling Sexyy Red over the embarrassing moment.

“He literally sat her down,” a user wrote in the comments section of the post AllHipHop shared, while another said, “He was not avoiding, just focusing on the topic at hand.”

An additional user teased, “She definitely went in for second base and he threw a curveball.”

Though she was unsuccessful this go-around, Sexyy Red has been fairly lucky in the past when she offered up a kiss. Last year, NLE Choppa went viral after he kissed Sexyy in the video shoot for the remix of his hit song “S### Me Out,” which also included a cameo from Sukihana.

Meek Mill Could Be As Popular In Africa As Donald Trump Is With Assassians—If You Ask Him

Meek Mill has been poppin’ it on Twitter amid a renewed wave of backlash he’s received following Diddy’s arrest, and somehow Africa and Donald Trump have become a part of his tweet rampage.

In the days following Diddy’s apprehension by federal authorities on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution on September 16, Meek has been consistently roasted on social media. As headlines circulate revealing the seizure of more than 90 electronic devices believed to contain damning evidence, Meek and Diddy’s alleged relationship rumors have resurfaced due to audio that was leaked earlier this year of an alleged sexual encounter between them.

As expected, Meek’s response to the saga has been anything but conventional. In a lengthy rant he authored over the course of several days, Meek has rehashed his beef with Drake, revealed he bought a farm and said he’s been targeted more than Donald Trump, who claims to be the victim of a second assassination attempt.

“I’ve been on 23 and 1 lockdown shackled … family dying while I’m in prison … dead broke … shot at wayyyy more than trump,” Meek wrote in one of the explosive tweets. “Sent to jail for wheeling … lost my dad as a child this s### is motivational food to me a internet rumor! It’s so many bots you must speak up!”

In another message, Meek shared video from his visit to Africa, which saw him engaging with frenzied crowds of patrons, riding dirt bikes with locals, and tearing down festival stages. Though he didn’t directly make the correlation, it appears as though Meek was implying that no amount of shade, be it from his association with Diddy or any part of his past, can overshadow his star power.

“This Africa … I ain’t even know I had this much influence it’s in other countries this way too…,” he wrote in the tweet. “Yall can stay distracted I’ll play aggravating teacher … once I signed off from people owning me in the industry I’ve been having slot of bad campaigns .. it can’t stop me!”

Though Meek Mill hasn’t been directly vocal about Diddy’s recent arrest, he vehemently denied the allegations concerning himself and the disgraced Bad Boy Records mogul. In February, Meek spoke out on Twitter after producer Lil Rod sued Diddy for sexual harassment and assault and he was named in the lawsuit.

“I’m from Philly I don’t do coke or freaky ass molly … nobody won’t even offer me coke because I’m that heavy,” he wrote. “No man or watt would ever approach me about gay activity and the whole place don’t get flipped … woke up seeing this on every blog like they know I’m coming! Lol.”

Young Dolph Prosecutors Refuse To Explain Why Only One Defendant Is On Trial

Only one of the men charged in Young Dolph’s murder will go on trial on Monday (September 23). According to FOX 13 Memphis, the Shelby County Criminal Court Clerk’s Office said Justin Johnson will be the lone man on trial despite his co-defendants having court dates scheduled for the same day.

The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office claimed they could not clarify why Johnson would be tried alone. Prosecutors said an explanation would compromise their investigation.

Earlier this month, prosecutors cited the same reason for refusing to say if Hernandez Govan would be tried alongside Johnson and Cornelius Smith.

Johnson, Smith and Govan were charged with first-degree murder for Young Dolph’s death. Johnson and Smith, the alleged gunmen, have remained in jail for more than two years. Govan, the alleged mastermind behind the murder, was released on bond in 2023.

A fourth man, Johnson’s brother Jermarcus, pleaded guilty to three counts of accessory after the fact in 2023. He awaits sentencing.

The Young Dolph murder trial was supposed to begin in June, but the defense and prosecution requested a delay. Mia Jaye, Young Dolph’s partner and the mother of his children, criticized postponement.

“Our family has witnessed lenient bonds being granted, absurd requests approved for the defendants to get a [change of] venue motion, freedom, more time to build a stronger defense… witnessed songs be made, defendants enjoying life while on [house arrest]… all while our loved one is 6 feet deep, waiting for JUSTICE to be served… talk about disheartening, unfair, triggering and hurtful,” she wrote. “For everyone who is like ‘trust the process’ our family has for 3 years, but the process & system is BROKEN (which is evident across ALL of Black America LBH… check the stats) and continuing to sit back allowing people to PLAY in your face isn’t trusting the process it is ignoring the process and giving room for any and everything wrong to happen, overlooking ACCOUNTABILITY.”

Young Dolph was shot and killed at a Memphis bakery in 2021. He was 36.

Suge Knight Warns Diddy His Life Is In Danger Over “Secrets” He Knows

Diddy’s arrest has captivated the entertainment world since Monday (September 16), when news of his apprehension first broke. The Bad Boy Records mogul was charged with three counts: racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking of children by force, fraud or coercion and transporting for prostitution.

Although his legal team offered the court $50 million (among other things) to secure his bail, a judge agreed with prosecutors that he’s a flight risk. Consequently, Diddy will remain at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn for the foreseeable future.

Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, who’s currently incarcerated, had some sage advice for Diddy the inmate. On a recent episode of Collect Call with Suge Knight, Knight warned Diddy.

“I’ll tell you what Puffy, your life is in danger ’cause you know the secrets of who’s involved in that little secret room you guys are participating in,” he said. “You know they gonna get you if they can. It’s a little crazy how Puffy get booted out the alcohol business and Jimmy Iovine steps in with Andre [Dr. Dre] and Snoopy [Snoop Dogg] promoting it. That’s never a good look when it comes to the culture of Hip-Hop, our community and our people. I turned myself in. Sometimes you gotta face the music, that’s most of the time.”

He continued, “Puffy, I’m gonna give you some real advice. Two quick things. You gotta make a decision. When you go to prison, either you’re gonna be standing up pissing or squatting, sitting down p#####’. I advise you to try to take the first one ’cause if you squatting and p#####’ you know what that means. Do not do your time going by Brother Love. Brother Love is not a good code name.”

Homeland Security raided Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles properties in March. They wound up seizing more than 90 electronic devices and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricants.

During the bail hearing, prosecutors accused Diddy of using his wealth and influence to dominate and degrade women. He often held events known as “Freak Offs,” exclusive parties rife with drugs, violence and coercion involving commercial sex workers. Witness accounts suggest the gatherings formed part of a systematic approach to exploitation extending over a decade.

The seized devices include cloud storage accounts, thumb drives and a surveillance system  from Diddy’s residences believed to contain damning evidence.

“These acts of physical force—of violence—are corroborated not only through victim testimony but also through, among other things, victim communications with [Diddy] spanning years of the charged time period; witness testimony, including witnesses who were present during and after Freak Offs; video footage; photographs capturing victim injuries; and law enforcement records, among other things,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams explained. “The same is true of the [Diddy’s] coercion. The communications between [Diddy] and multiple victims, which include communications sent as recently as this year, capture victim resistance to engaging in Freak Offs even in light of [Diddy’s] abusive tactics. [Diddy’s] years-long use of force and coercion speaks directly to dangerousness.”

Diddy has pleaded not guilty. No trial date has been set.

Shaq Launches Trolling Campaign Amid Viral Photo Of Rumored Girlfriend: “Wasn’t Me”

Shaq is pushing back on the rumors swirling around himself and his rumored new boo thang. Earlier this week, the NBA champion went viral on social media after users discovered a photo of him posing with a woman, which some speculated was his new girlfriend.

Shaq responded to the claims almost immediately with several posts on his Instagram profile. In one of the videos he shared, Shaq posed and re-created the trending flick with several other unidentified women and posted it coupled with a condescending caption coupled with a rhetorical question.

”Is this my girlfriend too, trust me I’ll let y’all know who my woman is, and by the way, my woman name is Shaqira,” Shaq wrote in the caption of the post.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Following a flurry of follow-up posts, an Instagram user, whose handle is @_1.filly, posted a real featuring the alleged photo of her and Shaq along with additional pictures and videos of the pair allegedly hanging out in Atlantic City while the former baller was working a gig. While, it appears as though the woman may have shared concrete receipts of her time with Shaq, The Diesel himself commented on the post AllHipHop shared covering the saga and denied the validity of the woman’s post.

”Wasn’t me,” he wrote in the comment.

Shaq then proceeded to continue his trolling campaign by sharing yet another video addressing the incident with the help of former “Cheaters” reality TV show host Peter Gunz. In the short clip of the pair who appeared to be in a podcast studio, Shaq seemingly proved how serious he is regarding the matter by performing a lip sync cover of Shaggy’s song “Wasn’t Me.”

While it’s clear that Shaq is having a bit of fun with the extra attention he’s receiving at the moment, it would be untrue to say we haven’t seen something like this before. In mid-July 2023, a series of paparazzi photos of Shaq aboard a luxury yacht with a younger woman went viral on social media, sparking widespread speculation about his relationship status.

The photos, which surfaced on platforms like Twitter and Instagram around July 17, showed the NBA legend enjoying a sunny day at sea with a woman many assumed to be his girlfriend. The images quickly gained traction, prompting a wave of commentary and rumors about Shaq’s personal life.

Though we can neither confirm nor deny anything for certain at the moment, at least we can watch the post of Shaq hilariously covering Shaggy below.

Diddy Rumors From Some Concerned Insiders

OK everybody. I know we’re all buzzing with these rumors about Diddy, but let’s take it a step further.

First, I want to be clear: this is all rumor and speculation. None of this is factual or verified, but everything I share comes from trusted sources.

Now, a lot of people I’ve spoken to feel like Sean Combs is being unfairly targeted. I’m talking about the clown section on social media. At the same time, these insiders don’t believe he can come out on top of this. They see him going down a one-way street with no way back for a long time—if ever. One person even described it as a “humiliation ritual,” a process of breaking him down. I don’t usually subscribe to conspiracy theories like that, but I will say this is embarrassing. The 1,000 bottles of baby oil are still fascinating. Other details look crazy. too. And what we saw on camera with Cassie Ventura? That’s real. Diddy, through his lawyer, claims she hit him with a cell phone before the brutal attack we saw on video.

Moving on.

Another source raised an interesting point: could it be that some government officials knew about Diddy’s wrongdoings but didn’t act on them? Or maybe they didn’t have a witness willing to go on record—until now. Obviously, Cassie Ventura was willing to speak. But take Shyne, for example. He once collaborated with Diddy on a philanthropic event and stayed quiet about any negative feelings. He got his check and moved on, even though now that Diddy’s in jail, Shyne’s speaking out.

“Ayo, call me Diddy I run this city /
Send the cops, the feds, and D.A. to come get me /
Cats wanna leave me for dead, you coming with me…”

—Diddy

Well, well, well… here we are.

Now, there’s a lot of speculation about whether Diddy will snitch. Those lyrics suggest he might be willing to take some people down with him. Will he do it? And who? Rumors say he has a lot of people on tape and was holding it as leverage. I am talking about dignitaries of countries. I’m not sure, but what I do know is he’s in a tough spot right now. He’s in protective custody, also known as the Special Housing Unit (SHU), because there are concerns someone will try to harm him for clout. They don’t want that to happen, or do they?

Some people are even comparing his situation to Jeffrey Epstein’s, wondering if something more sinister could happen while he’s in jail. He’s being held in the infamous MDC facility, which I’ve heard from sources is one of the worst—understaffed and inhumane. A contact of mine who doesn’t like him at all doubts he’ll survive the experience. But based on what I’ve heard, he’s managing. He gets three meals a day, one hour of recreation and showers three times a week. I heard that food is super nasty. Not ideal, but it’s survivable at this point. He’s also allowed visits from family and friends.

Anyway, there’s no shortage of content coming from this case, and I’ll keep bringing you both the rumors and the news as it unfolds. Here are all the formal news reports for your perusal.

Quando Rondo Battling More Charges Despite Accepting Plea Deal

Quando Rondo pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence and reckless driving charges in Savannah, Georgia on Thursday (September 19), per WTOC. The charges were related to a 2023 car crash he was involved in while out on bond in a state drug and gang case.

The Atlantic Records artist was arrested for the July 2023 incident in February. He was released on a $4,600 bond.

Quando Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Bowman, decided to fight the misdemeanor charges after accepting a plea deal in a federal drug case. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana.

“I really want to give an apology to the city of Savannah,” he said after pleading guilty to the drug charge. “And I want to give an apology to my family, friends, loved ones, most of all to my daughters.”

Quando Rondo is scheduled to be sentenced on December 12. He faces up to five years in prison.

“I just want everybody to know I’m a changed person,” he said. “I’m changing every day, and God got the last say so … I’m changing myself. It starts with yourself. Change starts at home. It don’t matter the circumstances. It don’t matter the levels of how bad something is. God could bring you out of anything. So, with that being said, like I said before, I’m walking my faith and not by sight. Nothing can break me. It’s just going to make me even more.”

Quando Rondo is out on bond awaiting his sentencing. He released his latest project, an EP titled Here for a Reason: In the Darkest Time, in August.

Diddy Accused Of Lacing Woman’s Joint & Traumatizing Her

Singer-songwriter Tiffany Red, a friend of Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, expressed relief after he was denied bail in his sex trafficking and racketeering case. Red reflected on her trauma months after corroborating Ventura’s damning allegations against Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs.

“I feel a little safer knowing Sean Combs is behind bars,” Red wrote on Instagram. “I’m grateful to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and Homeland Security for stepping in and showing Mr. Combs and the music industry, which enabled him that they’re not above the law. This past year has been incredibly stressful and terrifying at times, but I am grateful for the opportunity to free myself from all these dark experiences.”

Red said she witnessed Diddy’s abuse of Ventura, which was exposed in a November 2023 lawsuit. Red also recalled an incident in which she was given a laced joint at Diddy’s studio during her time in the notorious mogul’s orbit.

“While co-creating Cassie’s sophomore album, I was degraded by Sean Combs, deceived by him, his team and the record labels about the music being released, I was exposed to Diddy’s abuse of Cassie and others in her circle, and I unknowingly consumed something laced without my consent at his Holmby Hills home studio while writing for Cassie back in 2017,” Red wrote. “I’ll never forget screaming, ‘What’s in this?!’ I knew instantly after smoking the joint that something was wrong. I got away that night by the grace of GOD, but I am haunted by the things I can’t remember about that evening. No one should have to endure this kind of trauma to pursue success in the music industry. We all deserve better.”

Authorities arrested Diddy for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution in New York on Monday (September 16). Two judges rejected his requests for bail.

Diddy pleaded not guilty to the charges. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.

Nelly Slapped With $50 Million Lawsuit From St. Lunatics Members

Four members of the St. Lunatics sued their longtime friend and collaborator Nelly for copyright infringement and unjust enrichment on Wednesday (September 18). According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, the St. Lunatics said they never received proper credit or payment for their work on Nelly’s diamond-selling album Country Grammar. Billboard was the first to report the lawsuit.

Ali, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan and City Spud accused Nelly of falsely and fraudulently claiming to be the sole author of multiple tracks he created with the St. Lunatics. The songs included “Batter Up,” “Thicky Thick Girl” and “Steal the Show” from Nelly’s debut album, which dropped in 2000.

The St. Lunatics claimed Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, promised they’d receive rightful compensation for their contributions. Ali, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan and City Spud realized Nelly lied to them around 2020.

“Despite repeated assurances by defendant Haynes that plaintiffs would receive their writing credit and publishing income for creating the Original Compositions, plaintiffs, sometime in 2020, eventually discovered that defendant Haynes had been lying to them the entire time,” the lawsuit read. “Plaintiffs eventually discovered that not only did they not receive any credit as authors and/or creators of the Original Compositions, but that defendant Haynes, and others, took full credit for creating the Original Compositions contained in the Infringing Album.”

The St. Lunatics said Nelly manipulated them. The group members trusted their friend’s word before finding out Nelly denied their claims of authorship in 2021.

“Every time plaintiffs confronted defendant Haynes about their publishing credit and income for creating and authoring the Original Compositions, defendant Haynes would assure them as ‘friends’ he would never prevent them from receiving the financial success they were entitled to as writers of the Original Composition,” the lawsuit contended. “Unfortunately, plaintiffs, reasonably believing that their friend and former band member would never steal credit for writing the Original Compositions, did not initially pursue any legal remedies and believed defendant Haynes would make good on his promise to ensure plaintiffs received: (i) recognition as writers and authors of the Original Compositions contained in the Infringing Album; and (ii) the publishing income from the exploitation of the Infringing Album.”

Ali, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan and City Spud sought at least $50 million in damages. The lawsuit named Universal Music Group, BMG Songs, Kobalt Music Group and Hipgnosis as Nelly’s co-defendants.

Shyne Claims Diddy “Destroyed My Life” As He Addresses “Freak Off” Parties

Former rapper Jamal “Shyne” Barrow is weighing in on Diddy’s arrest and charges, distancing himself from the Hip-Hop mogul, insisting their relationship was strictly professional. 

The former Bad Boy artist turned politician spent nearly nine years in prison over a shooting at a New York nightclub in 1999. Both Diddy and Shyne were arrested following the incident, but Diddy was acquitted of all charges. One of the victims maintains Diddy shot her, and Shyne recently admitted, “I was the fall guy.”  

On Wednesday (September 18), Shyne, now Leader of the Opposition in Belize, gave a press conference addressing his past relationship with Diddy. 

“This is someone who in essence testified against me when I was on trial, when I was an 18-year-old kid just wanting to do nothing other than make my mother proud and make Belize proud,” he began. “I was defending him, and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me and he contributed; he pretty much sent me to prison.” 

Shyne Says He Forgave Diddy And “Moved On”

Shyne explained that he forgave him but denied Diddy funded his political enterprise. “This is someone who destroyed my life,” he added. “Who I forgave and who I’ve moved on and for the better interest of Belize because he was in a position at that time to give scholarships to maybe invest.” 

A reporter asked Shyne if he participated in or knew about Diddy’s infamous “freak off” parties.  

 “I had nothing to do with Sean Combs’ personal life,” he replied. “No interaction at that level. Everything was strictly on a professional level.” 

Earlier this year, Shyne addressed the surveillance footage of Diddy brutally beating his former partner Cassie Ventura.  

“I vehemently denounce the repugnant behavior of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs captured on the video in which he is seen physically assaulting Mrs. Cassie Ventura-Fine,” he stated. “There is no place for violence against women anywhere on the planet.”
