The Essential Guide to Effective Playlisting

By: Staff WriterCategory: Uncategorized

Whether you’re a vlogger, educator, or corporate marketer, the goal remains the same: To have the widest coverage and keep the viewers engaged. This is where the competency of YouTube playlisting will turn out to be a great advantage. YouTube Playlisting is probably the most effective tool for your video promotion plan. Utilizing functions like YouTube Playlisting can greatly enhance your video promotion tactics.

What is YouTube Playlisting?

YouTube playlists cover several aspects like playlisting videos, which results in more subscribers and views for videos on the platform. The offered playlist is a well-planned symphony of linked videos that serve to guide the viewers and unite them from one subject to the other. It not only improves a user’s experience but also contributes to increased metrics of your channel.

The Benefits of YouTube Playlisting

1. Enhanced Viewer Engagement

The continuous playing of playlists steadily catches the audience’s attention since it is the contiguous playing of related videos. This enlarges the prospects of your users staying with the channel even after they view only one video. As the viewers spend more time on the content, the total watch time will increase.

2. Improved Content Organization

Playlists will help you engagingly structure your material. The benefits of diverse channels are seen with the playlists that categorize videos and users then use these playlists to search for their interest topics. It has the power to improve the user experience and boost subscription numbers.

3. Increased Discoverability

Every playlist you create maintains its metadata keeping its title, description, and keywords. This feature will search the way an ordinary video is searched, and thus, playlists can be thought of as a strong tool to enhance discoverability on YouTube.

4. Higher Chances of Feature on YouTube’s Suggested Videos

Through a well-composed collection of videos your chances of being listed on suggested lists can be significantly elevated. Binding your sequences thematically and logically not only points the YouTube algorithm to treat them right but positions them before the appropriate viewers as well.

5. Strategic Content Repurposing

Older videos can be revisited by trending lists. You can make them appear along with recent YouTube videos in a feature so that you can capture the attention of the viewers who might have missed these videos. It is most effective for elements that stay relevant for longer periods.

How to Use YouTube Playlisting Effectively

To harness the full potential of YouTube Playlisting, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Review the content you already have and find themes or categories that have the potential to be grouped.
  • Step 2: Make playlists revolving around these topics. Make sure each playlist title is clear and searchable with a detailed description using keywords that are relevant to the list.
  • Step 3: Frequently change your playlists. Produce new videos and change the older ones to keep the playlists new and interesting.
  • Step 4: Promote your playlist across different platforms. Post them on social media, discuss them in your blog posts, or include them in your email newsletters.
  • Step 5: Analyze the performance of each playlist. Track views, watch time, and engagement rates using YouTube Analytics. Measure your strategy with these insights.

Leveraging Tools for Effective Playlisting

For individuals who want to save time and optimize their strategy, YouTube Playlisting provides them with the specialized tools that they need. From the brand and strategic advice on playlist creation to the promotion across channels, these tools ensure that the audience catches your content properly.

Conclusion

YouTube playlisting, besides just being an organizational tool, is a significant marketing tool in your video marketing arsenal. Adaptively using playlists is a strategy that can help you improve your channel’s metrics, increase audience engagement, and ultimately expand the visibility of your content. YouTube Playlisting is the way to dive into the art of playlisting. You will be amazed by how deep your channel grows.

Cam’ron Sips Sex Drink During Disastrous CNN Interview About Diddy Hotel Video 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Cam’ron is going viral following a disastrous CNN interview to discuss Diddy’s recent apology to Cassie Ventura and the disturbing footage of the mogul violently assaulting his then-girlfriend. 

The rapper-turned-sports podcaster awkwardly answered a few questions about Diddy before becoming frustrated and telling anchor Abby Phillip he was about to “get some cheeks,” and questioning why he was booked in the first place. 

The interview began with Phillip asking his thoughts on the video. Cam’ron clarified that he doesn’t consider Diddy a friend, nor does he condone Diddy’s actions in the video or any of the allegations against him.  

“Everything in the video is egregious, I’m against,” he replied. “So when I saw the video I was kinda upset being that I know him.”  

Cam’ron became more frustrated when asked if he “recognizes that kind of anger” based on his personal experience of Diddy.  

“I don’t know him like that. What do you mean did I recognize him? I seen him. What do you mean my experiences? I seen him and I thought it was disgusting,” Cam’ron stated.  

The interview got progressively worse when Philip asked him about Diddy’s apology video. 

“The apology ain’t for me, it’s for Cassie,” he fired back. “He ain’t do nothing for me. What I think about it don’t matter. You need to ask Cassie if she accepts the apology. I said what I said.” 

The segment goes completely off the rails when Phillip asks Cam about the rumors of Diddy mistreating his artists. Cam’ron paused before answering to take a shot of his Pink Horse Power sex supplement. 

“Sorry, I’m gonna’ go get some cheeks after this horse power drink,” he responded before brushing off the question and plugging his podcast.  

However, by the time Phillip tried to ask about what was known about the Bad Boy Records founder behind the scenes, Cam had lost his patience. 

“Who’s the talent agent for this joint?” he questioned. “You think I be sitting around watching what Diddy do? I didn’t know this was a Diddy joint that y’all invited me to. Who booked me for this joint?” 

Cam’ron took to Instagram after the car crash interview to ask the question many were thinking.  

“F### they invite me on CNN for,” he wrote alongside a clip of the interview.

Kid Rock Was Reportedly Brandishing Gun & Screaming Racial Slurs In Recent Interview

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Kid Rock has once again stirred up controversy due to his alleged bad behavior.

On Sunday (May 19), Rolling Stone published a story in which journalist David Peisner accused Rock of brandishing a firearm and using racial slurs during their interview. The article details the chaotic encounter between the musician and Peisner, the increasingly erratic behavior of Rock, who was reportedly belligerent during the incident.

According to Peisner, Rock consumed several Jim Beam and Diet Coke cocktails before brandishing a handgun from behind a leather chair.

“And I got a f###ing g###### gun right here if I need it … I got them everywhere!” Rock allegedly yelled. Piesner also alleges the “American Bad Ass” musician also used the n-word multiple times while discussing politics and the history of the Republican Party.

A post shared by Rolling Stone (@rollingstone)

When asked about immigrants, Rock reportedly agreed to them being described as “not humans” and further disparaged emigrating migrants as perpetrators of violent crimes.

“They’re murderers!,” Rock allegedly said. “They’re rapists! They are! MS-13! They just did the girl over here! They just did the girl in Nashville.”

Rock also appeared to reference his involvement in Bud Light’s 2023 controversy following a campaign with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. In his retort, he seemingly suggested that his legacy might include shooting up Bud Light cans. Despite previously boycotting Bud Light, he hinted at targeting other companies in the future.

“I don’t want to hurt people’s jobs and stuff like that when they don’t have any dog in the fight, but there’s a whole lot of other companies we should be going after,” he said.

The interview also touched on Kid Rock’s support for Donald Trump, who he attempted to call during the conversation, describing Trump as his “bestie” even as the former president sent him to voicemail.

The interview reportedly grew tense when Rock insisted Peisner stay the night, despite earlier derogatory remarks about the journalist’s college background and sexuality. Peisner siad Rock called him a “college snowflake” and dared him to “write the most horrific article” in hopes it could breathe new life into his career. As of now, Kid Rock has not responded to requests for comment on the Rolling Stone article.

Rolling Stone’s account is the latest in a series of incidents showcasing Rock’s controversial behavior. In 2019, he was widely criticized for a drunken, racist rant against Oprah Winfrey and Joy Behar during a performance at his Nashville bar. The incident prompted a backlash and renewed scrutiny of his often inflammatory public statements.

ScHoolboy Q Gives Vince Staples’ New Album His Stamp Of Approval

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

ScHoolboy Q is excited about the release of Vince Staples’ upcoming album—and has apparently been in the know about the Long Beach MC’s new music for several years.

On Saturday (May 19), Q hopped on Twitter (X) to share a message with all 2.5 million of his followers in support of Staples’ latest announcement regarding new music. In the brief message he shared in the tweet, Q appeared to foreshadow what’s to come from the new project.

The post is a quoted reply of a tweet Staples shared outlining the tracklist for the album Dark Times.

“THis album is crazy [Open hands emoji] like crazy crazy,” Q wrote in the tweet.

In the same thread, a Twitter (X) user reposted a tweet from 2017 that Staples shared in which he described the TDE rapper’s reaction to his fan-acclaimed album Big Fish Theory.

“SCHOOLBOY Q SAID THIS IS MY NEST MUSIC YET AND YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO A PERSON THATS UGLY LIKE THAT CAUSE HE DONT GOT NOTING TO LOSE SO WHY LIE!!” Staples wrote in the tweet.

Coincidentally, in the days before Staples tweeted, “ALBUM THIS FRIDAY . PRE SAVE MIDNIGHT,” he welcomed a wave of support from Earl Sweatshirt fans, who turned him into a trending topic on Twitter (X) due to praising his verse on their collaborative track “Hive,” which also features West Coast rapper Casey Veggies.

In addition to the album announcement, Staples also shared a visualizer for the album cut “Shame On The Devil. Check out the tweets above for the track listing and watch the visualizer below.

Amber Rose Backs Donald Trump—Quickly Labeled A Hypocrite

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Amber Rose has shifted gears in a surprising Instagram post shared Monday (May 20), showing her support for President Donald Trump despite her past criticism.

The model and activist posted a photo with Donald Trump and Melania Trump at an undisclosed black-tie event, captioning it with “Trump 2024.”

Amber Rose, who has spoken about the similarities between Trump and her ex-boyfriend Kanye West, once remarked, “When I first seen Trump on the podium, I was like, ‘Oh my God, that is Kanye in a white man’s body.’ I really felt like they have the same personality, like completely the same personality.”

Rose has previously voiced her apprehensions about allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump.

“Imagine this: Donald Trump comes and touches me inappropriately…Do I call 911? Do I call the cop that lives in my neighborhood? Who do I contact?” she once questioned.

She also slammed Donald Trump for inviting women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault to a presidential debate, labeling it as “s###-shaming and victim-blaming at the same time.”

A post shared by Amber Rose (@amberrose)

Despite her criticisms, Rose mentioned that she hoped Trump’s polarizing behavior was politically motivated, possibly intending to enact positive changes once in office.

Users swamped social media with criticisms of Rose’s apparent turnaround, particularly pointing out her work as an advocate for women’s rights, especially her annual SlutWalk event.

One user wrote, “Lol better never see you speak on women’s rights again!!” while another commented, “Damn Amber you’re supposed to be an advocate for Women wow so disgusted. Unfollowed.”

The backlash is steeped in context, given the numerous sexual assault allegations against Trump, including rape.

Critics are puzzled by why Rose, an outspoken critic on matters of sexual misconduct, would pivot to support a figure mired in such controversies.

Amber Rose’s role in the empowerment of women through her SlutWalk, a protest against sexism, body-shaming, and double standards, had earned her a strong following.

The annual event advocates for the rights of women to express themselves without fear of judgment or harassment.

The recent endorsement has stirred unrest among her followers, who see a conflict between her activism and newfound political stance.

Israel’s Prime Minister Condemns Bid To Arrest Him For War Crimes

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Benjamin Netanyahu rebuked the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan for seeking the Israeli prime minister’s arrest. Khan accused Netanyahu, Israel’s defense minister and three Hamas leaders of war crimes on Monday (May 20).

Netanyahu defended Israel’s devastating attacks on Gaza. More than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed, eliciting outrage and demonstrations (including Macklemore’s protest song “Hind’s Hall”). Netanyahu attempted to spin the violence and chastised Khan.

“In the face of these horrors, Mr. Khan creates a twisted and false moral equivalence between the leaders of Israel and the henchmen of Hamas,” Netanyahu said. “This is like creating a moral equivalence after September 11th between President Bush and Osama Bin Laden, or during World War II between FDR and Hitler. What a travesty of justice. What a disgrace.”

ICC judges will decide whether or not to authorize arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others for war crimes. Israel does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction, raising questions about its ability to truly prosecute Netanyahu.

“The ICC has no jurisdiction over Israel and Mr. Khan’s actions will not stop us from waging our just war against Hamas,” Netanyahu said. “But Mr. Khan’s abuse of this authority will turn the ICC into nothing more than a farce. He’s doing something else. He is callously pouring gasoline on the fires of antisemitism that are raging across the world. Through this incendiary decision, Mr. Khan takes his place among the great antisemites in modern times. He now stands alongside those infamous German judges who donned their robes and upheld laws that denied the Jewish people their most basic rights and enabled the Nazis to perpetrate the worst crime in history.”

Israel’s conflict with Hamas began in October 2023. The war created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza as countless Palestinians continue to suffer.

Megan Thee Stallion Bashes Incels & Says She Has “Best Pen In The Game”

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Megan Thee Stallion released a new freestyle over Far East Moment’s “Like a G6” on Monday (May 20). The multi-platinum-selling showcased her rap skills ahead of her sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in New York.

“Megan this, Megan that, b####, boohoo/You’re really mad Megan ain’t wanna f### with you/Dog-ass b####, long hair like a shih tzu/Thumbing through this m############ dough like fufu/In the booth, I’m the one they can’t hang with/Def Jam, y’all letting jokes get famous/Anything get these incels hype/N##### think they get stripes ’cause they out here doing lame s###,” she rapped.

She concluded, “Gaultier, b####, you know I been a GOAT to your fave/On ballpoint, I got the best pen in the game.”

Megan began her 2024 Hot Girl Summer Tour in Minneapolis on May 14. The Houston Hottie will perform around the country through June 22 before taking a brief break and heading overseas for several European shows in July. Later that month, Megan will return to the U.S. for the Broccoli City Festival in Washington, D.C.

A cameraman sued Megan weeks before the start of her tour. Emilio Garcia accused her of forcing him to watch her have sex with a woman on a 2022 trip to Ibiza.

Garcia said he became Megan’s personal cameraman in 2018. He continued to work for her until June 2023. Roc Nation allegedly told Garcia “his services would no longer be required.”

Megan’s ex-cameraman claimed she created a “hostile, abusive work environment.” Her attorney Alex Spiro downplayed the lawsuit.

“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” her lawyer said. “We will deal with this in court.”

Garcia sought more than six figures in damages. He wanted unpaid wages and other employee benefits.

Chet Hanks Explains Drake & Kendrick Lamar’s Beef To Tom Hanks In Ridiculous Fashion

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Movie star Tom Hanks asked his son Chet Hanks to explain Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef. The younger Hanks answered his dad by texting an amusing yet surprisingly accurate summary of the battle on Monday (May 20).

“Yeah, so Drake and this other dude J Cole been saying they along with Kendrick are the ‘Big 3’ in Rap,” Chet Hanks wrote to his father. “Then Kendrick put out a song saying, ‘F### the Big 3, it’s just big ME’ initiating the beef. Then Drake was like, ‘you got small feet cuz you’re like 5 foot 5 or whatever.’ And then Kendrick was like, you’re a dead beat dad and made fun of his Canadian accent.”

He continued, “So Drake came back and was like, ‘oh yeah? Well I heard you beat your wife’ but literally like 30 seconds later Kendrick put out a diss overshadowing Drake’s diss where he pretty much methodically dismantled Drake’s entire psyche and called him a pedophile for flirting with young girls and revealing Drake had another kid that he was hiding from the world, which turned out to be false, and Drake came back and was like, ‘hahahha I gotcho ass I had people give you false info to make you look stupid’ but it didn’t even matter cuz then Kendrick just dropped another West Coast banger where he really went in labeling Drake a pedophile.”

Chet Hanks equated Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” to Tom Hanks visiting the beloved actor’s high school alma mater in Oakland.

“That was pretty much the sonic equivalent of when you took me to your high school in Oakland and we walked in on the basketball game and everybody started going nuts,” Chet Hanks wrote. “Like if you heard it you would just automatically know how to Crip walk with a stank face while clutching an Oscar in each hand with Marshawn Lynch, then dap him up and tell him ‘Town Bidness’ which solidified the win not only for Kendrick but the entire West Coast.”

Chet Hanks seemed to overwhelm his father with run-on sentences. Tom Hanks still didn’t know who won the battle after his son’s over-the-top report on Drake vs. K. Dot.

Future Trolled Over How He & Russell Wilson Celebrated Son’s Birthday

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Social media users teased Future by comparing him to Russell Wilson, the stepfather of the rapper’s son Future Zahir Wilburn. Fans joked about the hitmaker writing a relatively simple message for his son’s 10th birthday since Wilson penned a more elaborate post on Sunday (May 19).

“Thank god for Baby Future,” the Epic Records artist wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “More life More blessings…I love u infinity.”

Future’s replies were filled with people taunting him over his involvement in his son’s life. The public seemed much more impressed by Wilson’s birthday celebration.

“Happy Bday Future!” Wilson wrote. “The big 10!! We are so proud of you & so grateful for you. You are our biggest blessing. An amazing son! The best big brother!! An absolute baller! So kind and loving! Keep shining. Keep loving. It is our greatest joy watching you grow into the young man God created you to be! I can’t believe it’s been 10 years! God is good! We love you forever!!! @Ciara.”

A post shared by Russell Wilson (@dangerusswilson)

Wilson married Ciara, the mother of Future’s namesake. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback’s relationship with Ciara – and her son – drew the ire of Future. Last year, the Freebandz founder dissed Wilson on the Quavo collaboration “Turn Yo Clic Up.”

“I got it out the field, f### Russell,” Future declared.

Wilson typically avoided responding to Future’s past insults. But the NFL star appeared to fire back at “Turn Yo Clic Up” by posting a photo with his stepson.

“Best part of the day #DadLife,” Wilson wrote.

Diddy’s Key To NYC Could Be Revoked Due To Cassie Assault Video

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

New York may rescind Diddy’s key to the city over a video showing the Hip-Hop mogul brutally assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Mayor Eric Adams said a revocation was under consideration in an interview with PIX11 News on Monday (May 20).

“I think all of us were deeply disturbed by watching that chilling video of the young lady being assaulted by him,” Adams told PIX11 News. “The committee and the team — we’ve never rescinded a key before — but we are now sitting down to see what the next steps forward are going to be.”

Diddy received the key to the city in September 2023, just a few months before Cassie sued him for rape and years of abuse. Cassie’s lawsuit detailed an incident in which the Bad Boy Records founder assaulted her at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

CNN released surveillance footage from the hotel on May 17. The video corroborated some of Cassie’s allegations.

Diddy threw Cassie to the ground after chasing her down in a hotel hallway. He kicked her twice while she was motionless on the floor before attempting to drag her back to his room.

Later in the footage, Diddy tracked Cassie down again and shoved her into a corner. He also chucked what appeared to be a vase at her.

Diddy responded to the Cassie assault video by apologizing on Sunday (May 19). He claimed to be “truly sorry.”

“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he said on Instagram. “I was f##### up. I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”

Cassie’s lawyer criticized Diddy’s apology, calling it “disingenuous.” The attorney said it reeked of “pathetic desperation.”

Diddy and Cassie settled her lawsuit out of court in November 2023. More accusers sued Diddy after the settlement was reached. The feds raided his homes as part of a sex trafficking investigation in March.

Eminem Gets First Dance With Daughter Hailie At Her Michigan Wedding

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Eminem married off his daughter Hailie Jade Scott to her new husband, Evan McClintock. The couple tied the knot over the weekend at Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Slim Shady donned a pair of black sunglasses, Nikes and  a sharp, black tuxedo as he twirled Hailie around on the dance floor for the traditional first dance. Hailie appeared to be laughing in one of the shots, captured by Erika Christine Photography, as the father-daughter duo shared the priceless moment.

The bride later shared some professional shots of her wedding with her 3.2 million Instagram followers with the caption, “Waking up a wife this week. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. So so many happy tears were shed, laughs & smiles were had, & so much love was felt. Evan and I are feeling so grateful for all of the family & friends that traveled to support us and be a part of this new chapter of our lives as husband & wife.”

A post shared by Hailie Jade (@hailiejade)

Scott and McClintock, who’ve been together since 2016, announced their engagement in February 2023 via Instagram. She wrote at the time, “casual weekend recap… 2.4.23. i love you.”  The 28-year-old podcaster has been engrained in pop culture since she was a little kid thanks to Eminem’s music. He’s mentioned her in multiple songs over the years, including on the track “My Dad’s Gone Crazy,” which features Hailie as young girl.

Meanwhile, Eminem is preparing his next album, The Death of Slim Shady, which is expected to arrive sometime this summer. As part of the album rollout, The Detroit Free Press an an obituary for Eminem’s longtime alter-ego. The obit highlighted his “playfully deranged single ‘My Name Is.'”

“That audience was soon exposed to the extreme darkness of the muse/rapper, as he led millions of music fans down a road that glorified a demonstrably nihilistic worldview,” it read. “Ultimately, the very things that seemed to be the tools he used became calling cards that defined an existence that could only come to a sudden and horrific end,” the obituary read in part. “His complex and tortured existence has come to a close, and the legacy he leaves behind is no closer to resolution than the manner in which this character departed this world.”

The Death of Slim Shady serves as the follow-up to 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By.

Juvenile Announces Hot Boys Reunion Album With Lil Wayne, Turk & BG

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

The New Orleans-bred supergroup known as Hot Boys became one of the standout acts of the late 1990s/early 2000s. Lil Wayne, Turk, BG and Juvenile dropped three studio albums between 1997 and 2003.

According to Juvenile, fans of the foursome can expect to see all the members come back together soon. The 49-year-old rapper talked about the forthcoming reunion during a livestream.

“Hot Boys [are] back together. What [are] you talking about put the Hot Boys back together?” Juve stated in a video posted to social media.

He also said, “Turk gonna be with me tonight. I’m gonna be with BG next week. Me, Wayne, Turk and BG, all of us gonna be on stage in New Orleans with Mannie Fresh and Birdman. And we already started working on a Hot Boys album.”

The first Hot Boys album, Get It How U Live!, came out in October 1997. The Cash Money Records-back crew followed that debut project with 1999’s Guerrilla Warfare and 2003’s Let ‘Em Burn.

Guerrilla Warfare hosted the singles “We on Fire” and “I Need a Hot Girl” featuring Big Tymers. The Recording Industry Association of America certified Guerrilla Warfare as platinum in November 1999.

While under the Cash Money umbrella, Juvenile also released solo albums such as 1998’s 4x-platinum 400 Degreez and 2003’s platinum Juve the Great. He later released projects via Atlantic Records, E1 Music and Rap-A-Lot Records.

Like Juvenile, Hot Boys member Lil Wayne also achieved commercial success as a soloist. The Young Money leader scored three No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and five No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart.

Did 50 Cent Give CNN The Diddy Abuse Video?

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

When the video of Diddy abusing Cassie Ventura hit the wire, speculation immediately began: “Who gave this crazy, sick and disgusting video to the media?”

Diddy allegedly paid $50,000 to suppress the video eight years ago, when the abuse incident happened. We agreed that $50,000 seemed extremely light to pay for something so damning. Nevertheless, it lined up with the allegations in the civil suit filing by Ventura.

Diddy’s Alleged Drug Mule Accepts Deal Offered By Prosecutors

The prevailing theory was that someone from the hotel kept a copy and turned it over. Slowly but surely, another theory emerged. A lot of speculation centered around the raid of Diddy’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami. Many folks felt like this could’ve been the result of the raid and that the federal government released it to the media. But there are sources close to us saying something completely different, yet completely plausible. They are saying that 50 Cent is behind it, and there’s evidence that could be true.

First things first: why would they mess with 50 Cent? Diddy’s son, Christian “King” Combs, crafted a diss record in the middle of a federal investigation that included lyrics targeting his biggest adversary. That wasn’t a good move. I won’t reveal how or what 50 Cent exactly did, but there’s evidence out there to substantiate the claim.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aLGk9ecG8I

One thing we do know is that 50 Cent has a documentary, tentatively titled Surviving P Diddy, on Diddy. From what I understand, the documentary is investigative and contains a lot of evidence supporting the claim that Diddy had something to do with the death of ex Kim Porter.

If nothing else, it will reveal that he was extremely abusive, as he was with Cassie Ventura. It seems as though the evidence in the video was unearthed by 50 Cent and his crew during the creation of the documentary. I will leave it at that because I don’t want to say too much. One thing is for sure: 50 Cent is not to be played with, and he’s definitely on the warpath right now.

By the way, somebody already did a YouTube documentary with the title Surviving Diddy and it has more than five million views. I haven’t looked at it, but it appears to be a collage of people like Big Gene, Jaguar Wright and other stuff that was already online.

CNN Panel Addresses Cardi B’s Declaration She Won’t Be Voting For Joe Biden Or Donald Trump

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

While Cardi B is a diamond-certified, Grammy Award-winning recording artist, she’s also become a public figure whose political opinions often make national news.

Earlier this month, Cardi B revealed that neither Democrat Joe Biden nor Republican Donald Trump earned her vote in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. CNN’s State of the Union show covered the rap superstar’s rejection of both candidates.

“The famous rapper, Cardi B… she endorsed Biden in 2020. Now she told Rolling Stone magazine she doesn’t ‘f’ with either of them,” Jake Tapper explained to his panel of State of the Union political commentators.

The Moment author Bakari Sellers responded, “I don’t think the biggest threat to Joe Biden is Donald Trump. I think the biggest threat to Joe Biden is people staying at home. Cardi B actually echoes that sentiment.”

Cardi B’s endorsement of Joe Biden in the 2020 campaign also included the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker interviewing the former vice president. That conversation featured the rapper and politician discussing healthcare, police brutality and other issues.

In January 2021, Cardi B still supported newly-inaugurated President Biden. Right-wing Republicans, like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, threatened to impeach the new POTUS just days into his presidency.

“How they trying to impeach Biden already? He hasn’t even taken a s### at the White House yet. This just shows me how delusional and dumb people can be,” Cardi tweeted at the time.

While she may have changed her view of Joe Biden since 2020, Cardi B has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump for years. The Invasion of Privacy rapper also repeatedly clashed with Trump’s MAGA supporters on social media.

Former Bad Boy Artist Shyne Denounces Diddy After Violent Hotel Footage Goes Public

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Shyne released his self-titled debut album in 2000 via Diddy’s record label, Bad Boy Entertainment. The Belizean rapper/politician has now publicly condemned his former boss. 

On Friday (May 17), CNN published an InterContinental Hotel LA surveillance video of Diddy attacking his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Diddy later offered a public apology. Despite the mea culpa, the 2016 footage caused outrage on social media. 

Shyne addressed the viral clip of Diddy dragging and kicking Cassie Ventura, blasting his violent actions on Instagram.

“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,” Shyne wrote in his Instagram caption. “There is no place for violence against women anywhere on the planet.

“As a father of a precious daughter, a global citizen and the next Prime Minister of Belize, I want absolutely nothing to do with people who engage in this pattern of diabolical behavior.”

In addition to being signed to Bad Boy in 1998, Shyne also served nine years in prison following a 1999 nightclub shooting in New York. A jury acquitted Diddy, then known as Puff Daddy, in the same criminal case.

Shyne concluded his Instagram message about Diddy by referencing other abuse accusations against the mogul. The current leader of the Belize United Democratic Party stated, “My prayers are with Cassie and all the other victims who have come forward with horrendous allegations against Mr. Combs.”

Kelly Price Responds To Backlash After Offering Prayers To Diddy In Wake Of Cassie Assault Video 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kelly Price is clarifying her remarks after facing intense backlash for her response to Diddy’s recent apology video. 

Social media users blasted the singer after she offered up prayers for her former collaborator following his response to the video published by CNN over the weekend. The harrowing footage showed Diddy chasing his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura down a hotel hallway before brutally assaulting her.  

On Sunday evening (May 19), Price took to Instagram Live to address “those who misconstrued, misinterpreted or just chose to put words in my mouth.” 

“I have not spoken about any of this stuff since it’s come out. I don’t stand with anything that is criminal. None of us can unsee what we saw,” she said during the livestream. 

Price insisted she urged Diddy to “do the soul work,” because she believed he “would hear it.” She also claimed that everybody has the capacity “to go to a dark enough place to do some very horrible things.” 

Price continued in the caption, “ I won’t let anyone call me out for something I didn’t do. I can’t offer redemption, forgiveness or Grace because my name is Kelly, not Jesus. “ 

Price elaborated on her “soul work” comment, claiming Diddy needs “Therapy+Jesus.” She concluded, “What happens legally is up to the people who have that authority.”
