Melyssa Ford Blasts “Lying” Cam’ron As Their Feud Refuses To Die

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Melyssa Ford responded to accusations made by Cam’ron in a freestyle on his sports talk show It Is What It Is. Cam’ron claimed Ford reached out to music executives Kevin Liles and Steve Stoute to intervene in her feud with the Dipset rapper.

“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth even gets out of bed and puts its pants on,” Ford wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “That [ninja emoji] is lying. I didn’t call anyone to deal with that bullsh**. And he’s still talking about it 6 months later. It’s giving… [thinkin emojis].”

Cam’ron mentioned Ford on the June 3 episode of It Is What It Is. Killa Cam referenced their beef, his infamous CNN interview and much more in a freestyle to open the show.

“Melyssa Ford called Kevin Liles/And Steve Stoute, what they gonna do? I’m Mr. Giles/We good, boo, Killa feeling better now/But don’t ever put my name near the word…” he rapped.

Cam’ron and Ford’s issues stemmed from her comments on a 2023 episode of the Joe Budden Podcast. The video vixen-turned-podcaster insinuated Cam’ron had sex with minors in reaction to a story about him going to a brothel in the ‘90s. Ford later apologized for her remarks.

“I apologize,” she said. “I should never have made that insinuation.”

Cam’ron didn’t accept her apology. He claimed it wasn’t genuine and threatened to sue her for defamation.

Kendrick Lamar Turns His Focus To Juneteenth After Heated Drake Battle

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Kendrick Lamar plotted his next move following his memorable battle against Drake. K. Dot surprised fans by announcing a Juneteenth concert at The Forum in Inglewood, California.

“pgLang & Free Lunch Present The Pop Out: Ken & Friends,” Kendrick’s Instagram Stories post read. “June 19 The Forum. Exclusive Cash App card pre-sale Thursday, June 6. General on-sale Friday, June 7.”

The Cash App pre-sale is scheduled to go live at 10 a.m. PDT. It will end at 10 p.m. on Thursday with the general sale launching at 10 a.m. on Friday.

Kendrick’s concert will be his first time performing since he traded diss tracks with Drake. Their beef was fruitful for K. Dot, who scored two No. 1 hits by lyrically attacking Drake.

The battle began when Kendrick dissed Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That,” which reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Drake responded with “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Kendrick fired back with “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA.” “Euphoria” was produced by Cardo, who worked with both rappers and spoke about their feud in May.

“I respect them both,” Cardo said. “They’re both somebody I f### with. I’ve made history with both of them. And it’s good for Hip-Hop. Dot is the type of guy that will challenge anybody. He’ll challenge people in a game of hopscotch. He’s a competitive dude.”

Kendrick and Drake’s battle reached a new level once the latter dropped the diss track “Family Matters.” K. Dot quickly upstaged Drake by releasing “Meet the Grahams” less than an hour later. Kendrick unleashed his knockout blow “Not Like Us” the next day.

Drake reacted by dropping “The Heart Part 6,” but it failed to make as much of an impact as Kendrick’s songs. “Not Like Us” became a hit single, breaking streaming records and debuting at No. 1 on the Hot 100.

Lika O: Debunking Myths and Celebrating Her Rise as a Genuine Music Star

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

Lika O, the dazzling pop sensation, has been making waves in the music industry with her remarkable talent and electrifying performances. Despite her rising popularity and success, she has not escaped the scrutiny of detractors. From baseless accusations to online vitriol, her haters seem relentless. However, it’s crucial to understand that much of this negativity stems from jealousy and a lack of understanding of her journey and accomplishments.

A Rising Star Under the Spotlight

Lika O’s impressive resume speaks volumes about her talent and hard work. She has collaborated with music industry heavyweight Charlie Walk, performed in the iconic Times Square, and graced the stage at the Official Jingle Ball Afterparty alongside Ludacris. Her magnetic presence was also showcased on NBC’s California Live and in an episode of Vanderpump Rules. Moreover, her appearance on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar stands as a testament to her rising influence in the entertainment world. Her music videos produced by the iconic and legendary producer of “How to loose a guy in 10 days”.

Debunking the Myths: The Real Lika O

Some online haters label Lika Osipova as “fake,” but these accusations lack substance. In the age of social media, it’s easy to hide behind anonymous profiles and hurl baseless accusations. Furthermore, these haters are spreading fake news to put Lika O down. Let’s look at the facts:

Collaborations with Industry Titans: Working with Charlie Walk, a figure known for recognizing true talent, underscores Lika O’s authenticity and skill. He has shaped the music industry by developing iconic artists like Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Beyoncé, JLo, Ariana Grande, Drake, Mariah Carey, Shakira, Shawn Mendes, Post Malone, Camila Cabello, Demi Lovato, Zendaya, John Legend, the Jonas Brothers, and other big stars.

Walk’s association with her is a clear endorsement of her capabilities and potential. 

High-Profile Performances: Performing in Times Square on Halloween and at high-profile events like the Official Jingle Ball Afterparty is no small feat. These platforms are reserved for artists who have proven their mettle, and Lika O’s inclusion in such events highlights her genuine appeal and popularity.

Media Appearances: Featuring on NBC’s California Live and Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules indicates her versatility and acceptance across different media formats. These appearances are carefully curated, and only artists with a real, engaging persona make the cut.

Fashion Icon: Being on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar is a significant accomplishment, reflecting not just her musical prowess but also her influence in the fashion industry. This achievement showcases her as a multifaceted artist who resonates with diverse audiences.

Lika O is always a special guest at prestigious events such as the Academy Awards, the Grammys, the Emmy Awards, and exclusive world movie premieres. Her recent appearance at the Grammys earned her recognition from Vogue Magazine as one of the best-dressed celebrities , and she was featured in Deadline, the New York Post, Vogue USA, and other high-profile media outlets.

 Just named a few from all her accomplishments. 

The Root of Hatred: Jealousy and Misunderstanding

Haters love Lika O; they are making her even more popular and drawing attention to her personality.

The negative comments and baseless accusations hurled at Lika O are often rooted in jealousy. Her rapid rise to fame, undeniable talent, and glamorous presence can evoke envy. It’s essential to recognize that criticism is often a reflection of the online bot critic’s insecurities and not a true measure of the artist’s worth. 

Moreover, the term “fake” is frequently misused by those who fail to grasp the hard work and dedication that goes into building a successful career in the entertainment industry. Lika O’s achievements are a result of relentless effort, talent, and a strategic approach to her career.

The Bright Future Ahead

Despite the negativity, Lika O continues to shine brightly. Her growing list of accomplishments and her unwavering fanbase are testaments to her genuine talent and appeal. As she continues to break new ground and reach new heights, it’s clear that the voices of her haters are nothing more than background noise.

In conclusion, Lika O is a true star who deserves recognition and respect for her contributions to music and entertainment. Her haters might be loud, but her talent and achievements speak louder. Jealousy and misunderstanding cannot overshadow the brilliance of a genuine star.

Sean Kingston Speaks Out For First Time Since Fraud Arrest

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Sean Kingston celebrated his release from jail in an Instagram post on Wednesday (June 5). The embattled singer thanked his fans, lawyers and more as he faces million-dollar fraud charges.

“It’s great to be home!” he wrote. “A special thanks to God, my family, my friends and my legal team… Robert Rosenblatt, James Stark, Mark Geragos, Zeljka Bozanic, Pierre Pollas. And I cannot forget about my amazing fans, thank you for all your love and support! I love you guys!”

Kingston and his mother Janice Turner were arrested for an alleged fraud scheme in May. Kingston was taken into custody in California and extradited to Florida. His mother was apprehended following a raid on his home in Florida.

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office accused the two of stealing roughly $500,000 in jewelry, a Cadillac Escalade worth about $160,000, a custom bed that cost a little over $86,000 and more than $300,000 from banks. Kingston was hit with 10 charges, including committing an organized scheme to defraud and grand theft.

A post shared by Sean Kingston (@seankingston)

Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, was released on a $100,000 bond on Tuesday (June 4). He reportedly used his mortgage as collateral. His mother got out of jail a week earlier, posting a $160,000 bond in May. She faced eight charges for her alleged role in the fraud scheme.

Robert Rosenblatt, one of the attorneys representing Kingston, insisted his client did not commit any crimes.

“I don’t know who is claiming they owe money,” Rosenblatt told CBS Miami. “We were aware of the watches, we are aware of the TV issue.”

He added, “If there are other issues I’m not sure about … It’s a breach of contract. There’s no fraud here. There’s no organized fraud at all.”

Rosenblatt said he was “very confident” Kingston’s charges would eventually be dismissed.

Is 50 Cent Supporting Donald Trump In 2024 Presidential Election?

By: Justin IveyCategory: Rumors

50 Cent admitted he’s an undecided voter ahead of the 2024 presidential election. A reporter asked the G-Unit boss if he stood by his past endorsement of Donald Trump after a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday (June 5).

“I’m not sure how to answer that question, to be honest with you,” 50 Cent said.

The reporter responded with a follow-up question, inquiring if 50 Cent made any decision regarding this year’s presidential race.

“I haven’t,” he said.

50 Cent went to Capitol Hill to speak with congressional leaders about his dispute with Suntory Global Spirits. He hired well-known attorney Benjamin Crump, who seemed eager to avoid the Trump-related questions, ahead of the trip to Washington, D.C.

“I am pleased to join the legal team representing Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, as he is one of the most successful Black entrepreneurs in America, and even he is not immune to the bias treatment that faces minority business owners everyday,” Crump said. “He has been relentless in his fight to seek fairness and justice over the way he was treated by a corporate giant in the luxury spirits industry. Mr. Jackson’s journey has been a testament to how much a determined individual can succeed through hard work and vision, and yet he still must contend with the oppression that comes from being a minority business owner.”

50 Cent previously encouraged his Instagram followers to vote for Trump over tax concerns in 2020. The outspoken rapper backtracked following criticism from his ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler.

“F### Donald Trump, I never liked him,” he wrote after she called him out in 2020.

50 Cent appeared to be flirting with the idea of supporting Trump in 2024. The Power franchise’s producer said, “Maybe Trump is the answer,” in reaction to New York’s migrant debit card program in February. 50 Cent also mentioned he thought Trump would be president again in March.

Those sentiments were expressed before Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records. 50 Cent laughed at Trump receiving millions of dollars in donations following the guilty verdict, joking that “the world’s almost over just enjoy the moment and be happy” on Sunday (June 2).

Donald Trump Jr. Lashes Out At Eminem Over Viral Election Rumor

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Donald Trump Jr. attacked Eminem over a baseless rumor involving Em and the 2024 presidential election on Wednesday (June 3). Trump Jr. helped spread a right-wing X (formerly known as Twitter) user’s post, which claimed Eminem plans to leave the country if Donald Trump Sr. gets re-elected.

“Are you really telling me that’s not Ellen DeGeneres????” Trump Jr. wrote, commenting on an Eminem photo attached to the viral post.

The original post received over 2 million views as MAGA supporters jumped on the unsubstantiated claim. X’s community notes feature tried to mitigate the misinformation by adding a disclaimer.

There was no evidence of Eminem saying he would leave the country, but the superstar made no secret he’s anti-Trump. Eminem famously bashed the former president in a cypher for the 2017 BET Hip-Hop Awards.

“Trump, when it comes to giving a s###, you’re stingy as I am/Except when it comes to having the balls to go against me, you hide ’em/’Cause you don’t got the f###### nuts like an empty asylum/Racism’s the only thing he’s fantastic for/’Cause that’s how he gets his f###### rocks off and he’s orange/Yeah, sick tan/That’s why he wants us to disband/’Cause he cannot withstand/The fact we’re not afraid of Trump/F### walking on egg shells, I came to stomp/That’s why he keeps screaming, ‘Drain the swamp!’/’Cause he’s in quicksand,” he rapped.

Eminem concluded, “And any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his/I’m drawing in the sand a line, you’re either for or against/And if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split/On who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this: f### you!/The rest of America, stand up/We love our military, and we love our country/But we f###### hate Trump.”

Trump Sr. was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records in May. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11.

Ray J Says Diddy Needs An “Exorcism Fast” After Seeing Cassie Assault Video

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Ray J is one of many weighing in on the video of Diddy savagely beating ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura captured in hotel surveillance video in 2016.

In a recent interview with the Art of Dialogue, the Love & Hip Hop personality was asked about the graphic clip and if it means Diddy is over. In so many words, Ray J said Diddy will never recover and needs help beyond the physical realm.

“It’s not OK,” he said of the physical abuse caught on tape. “When somebody is around somebody and we’re counting on them to be our one of our leaders in a space that we’re all trying to get to that’s not acceptable to do and it’s not OK. I mean, it might be forgivable in a sense of a spiritual realm of life or forgive everybody but it’s unforgettable, and that’s where you just draw the line on friendship and hanging out and supporting and being cool. It’s like n##### it’s done, and that’s it.

“And it’s not and it’s not something that n##### can just take lightly. You cannot do that. Not OK. It’s not cool. Period. [The video] was heartbreaking and shameful and unacceptable I’ve never seen nothing like that.
I’ve never seen nothing like that in the history of my life, so that’s a new for me. I don’t know what kind of demon you are, but somebody need to muthafuckin’ perform an exorcism fast.”

And while Ray J seemed to understand Diddy will financially survive, he also suggested the Bad Boy Records mogul will fade into the background and be ostracized in certain circles.

“Life in this industry goes on without certain people because their membership club is revoked, their membership in the club is revoked,” he continued. “It’s over, so you don’t have room to make mistakes like that in the big club—you can’t do that. It’s inexcusable. If you threw a party tonight, the people are your invitation list—that club.

“The people who throw a party tomorrow, a foundation, could be anything. Anything that has substance to it is no longer available for certain people to be invited to.”





DDG Responds To Skepticism About His Feature Fee Allegedly Being $750K

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

DDG built a YouTube following partly because of his popular prank videos. The vlogger-turned-rapper is known to troll his followers.

As a result of his history of being a prankster, some social media users questioned DDG’s recent comments about his feature rate. He claimed to demand a $750,000 fee for a guest verse.

In addition, the Michigan-born entertainer said he makes $1 million for a music video appearance. Those numbers ignited an online conversation about the Maybe It’s Me… album creator.

DDG reacted to the feature rate discourse. He tweeted, “I charged $2 million when ‘Moonwalking’ was hot, y’all betta get the discounted feature now before I get my next hit.”

The “Moonwalking in Calabasas” single earned 2x-platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. The 2020 release also peaked at No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Additionally, DDG scored gold RIAA plaques for 2020’s “Arguments,” 2021’s “Hood Melody,” and 2023’s “I’m Geekin.” None of those singles charted on the Hot 100.

The Epic Records-backed performer has been featured on tracks by acts like Blueface, Almighty Jay, and Bfb Da Packman. His most famous non-music union is with singer/actress Halle Bailey, the mother of his newborn child.

DDG also jokingly posted, “[Alright] since y’all think I’m taxing, I’ll throw in a YouTube mukbang, one picture with my son & a free FaceTime call with Woo Wop. Last offer.”

Lonzo Ball Blasts Referee Who Ejected Angel Reese From WNBA Game

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

WNBA player Angel Reese became a trending topic on social media once again. The Chicago Sky forward got ejected during her basketball game against the New York Liberty on Tuesday (June 4).

In the closing minutes of the game, referee Charles Watson whistled Angel Reese for a personal foul. Watson then gave Reese two technical fouls after she apparently said something to the official about the call.

Lonzo Ball of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls came to Angel Reese’s defense on X. The “ZO2” rapper called out Charles Watson. Additionally, Ball suggested he would pay the $400 fine for the double-tech on Reese.

“Ref that threw out @Reese10Angel is weak [by the way]… You know who you are (Keep ya money, Angel. I got you),” Lonzo Ball tweeted around 10:15 pm ET on Tuesday. Reese responded, “Appreciate you gang!”

Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon spoke about Reese’s ejection during a postgame news conference. Weatherspoon stated, “I tried to get an explanation. I did not. I don’t know to this moment what has happened.”

Angel Reese is one of the standout stars of the WNBA’s 2024 rookie class. Her rivalry with Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, which began at the collegiate level, generated high interest in women’s basketball since the 2023 NCAA Division I tournament.

“So many people are watching women’s basketball right now. It all started from the national championship game, and I’ve been dealing with this for two years now,” Reese declared following outrage over her Sky teammate Chennedy Carter’s controversial flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark.

Angel Reese also stated, “The reason why we’re watching women’s basketball is not just because of one person. It’s because of me, too. I want y’all to realize that… There are so many great players in this league that have deserved this for a really, really long time.”

NLE Choppa Faces Backlash For Performing “S### Me Out 2” At Bat Mitzvah

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

NLE Choppa upset some people online. Footage of the 21-year-old rapper performing “S### Me Out 2” at a Jewish coming-of-age ceremony for pre-teens ignited controversy.

“Why don’t y’all bash men for promoting inappropriate songs in front of children like y’all do to female rappers? Mind y’all bat mitzvah are for 12-year-olds,” an X user posted on Monday (June 3).

The following day, NLE Choppa responded, “I performed the clean version to this song at the bat mitzvah actually!! And the kids rapped the curse words loud and clear in front of their parents [anyway]!!”

He also tweeted, “Mfers get mad at me for performing, doing my job when y’all kids be out here doing all type of grown activities. Yea skipping 3rd period to get that lil cherry pop under the bleachers. MF better worry bout that.”

NLE Choppa dropped “S### Me Out 2” on April 12, 2024. The track serves as the sequel to 2022’s “S### Me Out” which became a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

After premiering “S### Me Out 2” at the Rolling Loud California festival in March, some fans began questioning NLE Choppa’s sexuality. However, the Memphis native has stated he identifies as heterosexual.

Jermaine Dupri Knocks Sexyy Red’s “In Sexyy We Trust” Project Only Selling 27K Units

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Sexyy Red dropped her third mixtape, In Sexyy We Trust, on May 24. The 14-track project reportedly debuted with around 27,000 first-week units.

Music industry veteran Jermaine Dupri, 51, spoke about Sexyy Red’s five-figure opening during the SelectCon conference in Atlanta. The So So Def label founder used the numbers as an example of why rap music has not been as commercially successful in recent years.

“The industry still tries to make you believe that if you’re a hot artist and you got a single, that selling albums don’t matter,” Jermaine Dupri told Steve Stoute. “Sexyy Red’s album only doing 28,000 copies. In the era that I came in the music industry, if you sold 28,000 copies, you didn’t get no other chance to even walk in the building again.”

Jermaine Dupri went on to suggest top music acts during the height of his career moved 80,000-900,000 units. For example, Dupri’s 1998 album Life in 1472 sold more than 162,000 copies in its opening week, granted it was the pre-streaming era.

In Sexyy We Trust landed at No. 17 on the latest Billboard 200 album chart. Sexyy Red’s most recent body of work became the highest-charting project of her career.

2023’s Hood Hottest Princess amassed a reported 8,000 first-week units for a No. 193 start, but it eventually peaked at the Billboard 200’s No. 62 position. 

Sexyy Red scored a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Get It Sexyy” off In Sexyy We Trust. The 26-year-old rhymer also made it into the Hot 100’s Top 20 as a feature on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy” with SZA.

50 Cent Recruits Ben Crump For Congressional Battle Against Spirits Brand In Washington 

By: London JennnCategory: News

50 Cent is making good on his promise to take his grievances against Beam Suntory to Congress, and he’s recruited renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump to join him in Washington D.C. 

The entertainment mogul is embroiled in a long-running battle with the spirits company. After accusing employees of stealing millions of dollars from his brands, the dispute snowballed into a $6 million lawsuit.  

50 Cent tapped Ben Crump to join his legal team in the fight to increase minority representation in the multibillion-dollar luxury spirits industry.  

Crump will join 50 Cent for a meeting with Congressional Leaders on Capitol Hill on Wednesday (June 5) at 10 a.m. ET. The G-Unit honcho said they will meet with “the Congressional Black Caucus about how @suntoryglobalspirits has damaged my business.” 

On Tuesday (June 4) 50 Cent posted an AI-generated image of himself and Crump with a warning to Beam Suntory.  

“You can change your name from @beamsuntory @suntoryglobalspirits but you still robbed him,” Fiddy wrote in the caption. “I just want mines. Tell your friends in your discus meeting, you  haven’t been under compliance at all.”

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

In a statement, Ben Crump praised 50 Cent “as he is one of the most successful Black entrepreneurs in America.” However, he noted, “even he is not immune to the bias treatment that faces minority business owners everyday.” 

Crump said 50 Cent has been “relentless in his fight to seek fairness and justice.”  Nonetheless, “he still must contend with the oppression that comes from being a minority business owner.”  

He also affirmed his commitment to helping 50 Cent demonstrate “the power of the consumers to make corporate America allow a seat at the table for hard-working Black entrepreneurs.”

Sean Kingston Out On $100,000 Bond As Lawyer Insists “There Is No Organized Fraud” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Sean Kingston walked out of jail on Tuesday evening (June 4) after posting bond following his arrest last month. 

Footage shows Kingston leaving Florida’s Broward County jail with a white towel covering his head. He faced questions about his charges from reporters waiting outside the jail but only responded when asked if the car that took him away was rented. “It is mine,” he replied before adding, “check the license plate.”

CBS News Miami reports Kingston’s mother Janice Turner and other relatives were waiting outside for over an hour. Turner was arrested on the same day as her son and is out on $160,000 bond amidst eight fraud and theft charges. 

A Broward County judge set a $100,000 bond for the singer on Monday (June 3). Court video shows Kingston listening as the judge read the 10 criminal charges.

They faced grand theft charges for a Cadillac Escalade valued at $159,701, $480,000 worth of jewelry and a $86,568 bed. Other related charges include Kingston defrauding banks and writing bad checks.

Lil Yachty Reveals Surprising Fact About Drake: “He Rarely Listens To Music” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Lil Yachty claimed that Drake rarely listens to music despite his prolific output as an artist. 

Yachty spilled the beans during a recent conversation with James Blake for Complex after the singer revealed he doesn’t listen to music as part of his everyday experiences. 

“That’s the same with Drake,” Lil Yachty shared. “When I started hanging with him a lot, he rarely listens to music except for when he’s recording.” 

However, despite their close bond, Lil Boat says his music consumption is the total opposite. While Yachty’s every activity is soundtracked Drake reserves his attention for studio sessions.  

“I’m going to wake up, music, driving, music, showering, music, eating, music. He’s more of a talking type of person and plays music when it’s time to record,” Lil Yachty said of Drake.  

“Sometimes he plays music in the car, but he’ll ride in silence most times. And before we got this close, I thought all musicians were like me and music was all day every day,” Yachty stated.

Drake and Lil Yachty are such close friends that they describe themselves as “brothers.” While he rarely listens to music, Drake values Yachty’s ear for music, crediting him as a major influence on his works like For All The Dogs, praising him shortly before the album dropped.

“I don’t think this album is what it is if I don’t get to run everything by you,” Drake told Lil Yachty. “If I don’t get to sit in the studio and write with you, and think with you, and if you don’t send me beats, and if you don’t tell me what you believe in or don’t believe in.”   

New Website Signals Flood Of Diddy Accusers May Be Coming Soon—YIKES

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

OK, this is crazy. I’m going to abruptly blame comedian Katt Williams for everything that’s going on. He manifested this insane year with that infamous interview with Shannon Sharpe. Anyway, we have seen crumbling houses thanks to that manifestation, and Diddy is the biggest of all of them in 2024. And somehow, I think it’s about to get worse.

A new website is pushing for people who have allegedly or are accusing Diddy of misconduct. All you have to do is sign up and they will to reach out to you and help you sue the mogul, if they deem you credible (I assume). This is insane. It reminds me of those slip-and-fall commercials that the ambulance-chasing lawyers have.

The reality is, Diddy is accused of some heinous stuff and this is what happens. Another recent lawsuit was levied against him and it doesn’t look like his legal woes will soon cease.

I will say this: I am happy to see that he and his son Christian are no longer bucking back. Just be quiet, sit down and let the legal process work its way out. If you are innocent, this will work out for you. If you are guilty or found guilty, you might as well enjoy the bit of freedom you have. Honestly, I am almost positive they are going to bring up RICO charges in this case. It seems like the new trendy crime.

They’re not paying me, so I’m not linking to their site, but here is what it looks like.

Kanye West Threatens To Countersue Woman Accusing Him Of Sexual Harassment

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Kanye West responded to a former assistant suing him for sexual harassment and wrongful termination, among other claims. A rep for Ye said he planned to countersue Lauren Pisciotta over her “baseless allegations.”

The controversial artist accused Pisciotta of blackmail and extortion. His rep justified the 2022 termination of Pisciotta.

“Ye will be filing a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta, who actively pursued him sexually to coerce employment and other material benefits, then engaged in blackmail and extortion when her advances were rejected,” Kanye’s rep said. “Prior to her termination as an assistant, Ms. Pisciotta stole his cell phone in an attempt to destroy phone records that would contradict her claims, all of which have been preserved. She was terminated for being unqualified, demanding unreasonable sums of money (including a $4 million annual salary) and numerous documented incidents of her lascivious, unhinged conduct.”

Pisciotta claimed Kanye masturbated in front of her, sent her sexually graphic texts and frequently asked her about her sex life. Ye’s rep fired back by insisting Pisciotta was the one who repeatedly crossed the lines in their work relationship.

“During her employment, Ms. Pisciotta offered Ye sex on his birthday to which he declined, sent Ye unsolicited nude images, sexual narratives and was seen twerking in the office during business hours,” the rep said. “On one occasion, Pisciotta boasted how the best moment of her life was when she was being ejaculated on by a soccer player while simultaneously texting her boss.”

The rep continued, “It is well documented how Ms. Pisciotta consistently used sexual coercion in an attempt to demand not only money but material items, namely Hermes Birkin bags, a Lamborghini and an endless quest for plastic surgery. Upon having her advances rebuked, Pisciotta’s blackmail demands have gone from $60M last year to $50M in last week’s frivolous filing.”

Kanye’s rep suggested Pisciotta’s behavior was “inconsistent with someone who claims to have been sexually harassed or experienced a hostile work environment.” The rep said Pisciotta fabricated the allegations for attention because “her initial attempt at a lawsuit for unlawful termination gained no media traction.”

Did Stephen A. Smith Make Female Co-Host Apologize Over Heated WNBA Debate?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Stephen A. Smith and Monica McNutt had a heated exchange on social media on Monday (June 3). Actually, they first clashed on ESPN’s popular show First Take, and it all spilled out onto social media. Most of us are working when that show airs, but clearly a lot of people caught it and began reposting the interaction.

This is his face live on TV:

The discussion centered around Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese and all the buzz surrounding the WNBA right now. Mainly, people are talking about how the white point guard, who was a superstar in college women’s basketball, has uplifted the sport.

To me, this is a good thing, but there is a tinge of racism that goes along with it. It could be that she’s just an amazing ballplayer. Or it could be that she’s an amazing white player for mainstream and middle America. Don’t get mad at me. This is just how I see it. At any rate, the energy is electric and everybody is in. I have to admit, I am too.

So, Monica McNutt and Stephen A. Smith had an interaction, and she read him for filth, as they say. She basically said that he could have been covering women’s basketball, specifically the WNBA, for years but didn’t. She essentially embarrassed him. I believe he was embarrassed, at least. To add insult to injury, you could see that the other hosts of the show were stunned by this “read.” Her face was like, “What?”

Angel Reese Says People Watch WNBA For Her Too—Not Just Caitlin Clark

Apparently, they had a conversation, and the rumor is she apologized to him. I have to admit, I don’t think she was especially disrespectful. I do think she sonned him in front of the world. But I think it was really gender-related as far as that sonning was concerned. If it was a man doing the talking, I don’t think it would be as big of a deal. I think because it was a woman, and a Black woman at that, it amplified what happened. This was like getting burned at lunchtime in front of the whole school.

Did she deserve to apologize? If she did, I don’t think so. I hope and pray she didn’t apologize. I simply don’t think it was that bad of an interaction. I just think Stephen A. was rendered speechless for once. At the end of the day, there were fears that Monica McNutt would get fired or eventually phased out because of this interaction. That saddened me, so if the apology prevented that from happening, then I guess it was warranted. We want to see this beautiful Black queen on our airways every day or as much as possible.

Here is the epilogue:
