Kim Kardashian Arrives At Bezos Italian Wedding As Protests Explode Over Greed

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

Kim Kardashian landed in Venice Thursday (June 26) for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding festivities just as demonstrators flooded the city with anti-billionaire protests targeting excessive wealth and environmental damage.

The Kardashian entrepreneur arrived at Marco Polo Airport with her sister Khloé Kardashian and mother, Kris Jenner.

Dressed in a black Balenciaga skirt and bandeau top, Kim joined her family on a water taxi headed toward the city center.

The trio is part of a star-studded guest list for the multi-day celebration, which kicked off Wednesday night (June 25) with a private cocktail party at the Aman Hotel. Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Gayle King, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Diane von Furstenberg and Orlando Bloom were also spotted arriving by boat.

While celebrities made their entrance, protest groups across Venice staged coordinated demonstrations under the slogan “No Space for Bezos.”

Activists from housing coalitions, student groups and environmental organizations, such as Greenpeace, criticized the billionaire’s wedding as a symbol of unchecked wealth and the commercialization of the historic city.

Banners condemning tax breaks for the ultra-rich and the effects of mass tourism were draped across landmarks, including the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square. One protest featured a dummy of Bezos floating in a canal atop an Amazon box.

Others promised to block waterways using boats and inflatable animals. The backlash prompted organizers to move the main ceremony from its original location to the Arsenale, a more secure venue. Protesters called the change a win.

The wedding has drawn scrutiny not only for its extravagance but also for its timing. Venice has long struggled with overtourism, and critics argue the event highlights how the city caters to the wealthy at the expense of residents.

Bezos and Sánchez’s celebration is expected to continue through Sunday (June 29), with rumors swirling about performances by Elton John and Lady Gaga.

50 Cent Trashes Diddy’s Lawyer, Predicts A 20-Year Sentence

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: ExclusivesJune 27, 2025

50 Cent wasted no time unloading on Diddy’s legal team after a chaotic final day in court, mocking defense attorney Marc Agnifilo and forecasting a lengthy prison term for the Hip-Hop mogul.

“Damn they did Diddy dirty them closing statements man, I could have done better then that. How much he pay them lawyers?” 50 Cent asked.

The rapper, who has turned his Instagram into a running commentary on the six-week federal trial, took aim at Agnifilo’s performance following his three-hour closing argument on Friday (June 27).

“She didn’t have the worst lawyer; you are the worst lawyer. Remember the name Marc Agnifilo. He just got Diddy ass 20 years,” 50 Cent posted.

Agnifilo’s remarks in court raised eyebrows, with the defense attempting to downplay the federal government’s case by mocking the government’s evidence.

“Way to go, fellas,” Agnifilo said. “They took Astroglide and baby oil and that is the evidence in this case.”

He also described Combs and Cassie Ventura as a “great modern love story” and called Ventura a “gangster” despite video evidence showing Combs physically assaulting her at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Prosecutors allege Combs paid hotel staff $100,000 in cash to bury the footage.

Agnifilo also told jurors that even those suing Diddy “loved him.”

At one point, U.S. District Judge Subramanian reprimanded Agnifilo for making “grossly improper” comments about the government’s motives in bringing the case.

Lead prosecutor Maureen Comey attempted to dismantle the defense’s claims, calling them “lies” and “excuse after excuse” for Diddy’s “inexcusable behavior.”

Diddy faces five federal charges, including racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking, and two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution.

If convicted on the most serious charges, he could face life in prison. He has pleaded not guilty. Jury deliberations are expected to begin Monday, June 30.

Government Labels Diddy “Masked Masturbating Celebrity” In Final Statement

By: Nolan StrongCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

Diddy faced extreme scrutiny from lead prosecutor Maureen Comey Friday in a Manhattan courtroom, where she accused his legal team of offering “excuse after excuse” for what she called “inexcusable behavior” during the final day of his federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

Comey, delivering the government’s final word before jury deliberations begin Monday, tore into the defense’s portrayal of the Hip-Hop mogul’s conduct, calling their narrative a smokescreen.

She rejected the idea that Marc Agnifilo, Diddy’s defense attorney, had painted — that the case was about lifestyle choices, not crimes.

Comey said the defense’s claim that Diddy hired male escorts for companionship, not sex, was absurd. She told jurors that the evidence showed he flew sex workers across the country to engage in sexual acts with women while he watched and masturbated.

She described the alleged abuse of women like Cassie Ventura, Jane and Mia as part of a pattern of coercion and control. Comey said the women were manipulated, degraded and traumatized — not willing participants.

She emphasized that none of them had financial motives to lie – Cassie already received $20 million to settle her civil suit against Diddy, while Jane had no intention of filing one.

Comey also addressed the arson of rapper Kid Cudi’s car, saying Diddy followed through on threats. She reminded jurors that Cassie testified he said he would do it — and then it happened.

KID CUDI IMAGE

She also pointed to the alleged bribery of a witness, referencing Diddy’s $100,000 cash payment in a brown paper bag and the mogul’s warning not to make any large purchases.

Earlier in the day, Agnifilo argued that prosecutors were targeting Diddy for his fame and wealth. He called his client a demanding but successful businessman, not a criminal kingpin.

Agnifilo ridiculed the government’s evidence, including the seizure of large amounts of baby oil and lubricant from Diddy’s homes.

He acknowledged Diddy assaulted Cassie Ventura in 2016 but called their relationship a “great modern love story” and described her as a “gangster.”

Agnifilo denied the rape allegations and dismissed the arson claim as “nonsense.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik, who delivered her closing Thursday (June 26), called Diddy the head of a criminal enterprise who used fear, violence and money to maintain control.

She said he surrounded himself with loyal insiders who helped him silence victims and cover up crimes. Jurors are expected to receive instructions and begin deliberations on Monday, June 30.

Stepbrothers For Life: Don Trip & Starlito Talk Legacy, Loyalty & Lyricism

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: ExclusivesJune 27, 2025

When Don Trip and Starlito dropped the first Stepbrothers mixtape in 2011, they carved out a rare lane in Hip-Hop: a duo built not just on beats and bars but true brotherhood. Now, nearly 15 years later, the Southern spitters return with Step Brothers 4 Life, proving that consistency and chemistry still count in a game built on trends. Their latest project is out and AllHipHop sat down with the pair to discuss the long journey, how Tennessee shaped their sound and why their bond still runs deeper than rap.

What follows is a hilarious, insightful and sometimes deep dive into everything from PlayStation versus promotion to firearm philosophy. With these two, realness comes first. Watch the video for the full, unedited conversation.

AllHipHop: Y’all are running at a high level creatively, but you said you were “hanging on by a thread.” What’s going on?

Don Trip: I ain’t have my nap. That’s all it is.

Starlito: We’re in grind mode. The album’s done. Now it’s about presentation and marketing—travel, little sleep, and no naps.

AllHipHop: So let’s talk Step Brothers 4 Life. Why the long gap?

Starlito: Life. It’s been eight years since Stepbrothers 3, but when we finally locked in, it only took six weeks. We had six studio sessions and came out with 16 tracks.

Don Trip: We always record these in person. We don’t do the phoned-in thing. That’s our secret sauce.

AllHipHop: You can hear that connection. Most people can’t even rehearse together, let alone build like that.

Starlito: A lot of groups grow apart. But we grew closer—weddings, funerals, kids’ birthdays—we’ve been there for each other in life, not just rap.

Don Trip: There’s no ego between us. No big “I’s” or little “u’s.” We move like a team.

AllHipHop: Who was the first Tennessee rapper that influenced y’all?

Don Trip: For me, it was Three 6 Mafia, Playa Fly, Gangsta Blac—all at once. I grew up hearing them together.

Starlito: A rapper named La Mike. He was from East Nashville, got his haircut at my cousin’s shop. That’s when I realized, “Oh, someone from around here is a rapper.”

AllHipHop: People don’t realize how far Nashville and Memphis are from each other.

Don Trip: It’s three and a half hours. We ain’t neighbors.

Starlito: Memphis is more of a Hip-Hop hotbed. Nashville’s country music business. I went to Tennessee State and that helped me build bridges. But yeah, outsiders assume we’re from the same place.

AllHipHop: We’ve talked about maturity. Hip-Hop’s over 50. Where do y’all think it’s headed?

Don Trip: I don’t think gatekeeping matters anymore. Now, anyone can upload music. That’s good and bad, but it’s easier for real artists to find a lane.

Starlito: We have to own our influence. Hip-Hop’s getting fused with country, pop—you name it. And the stuff with a message is disappearing. It’s on us to tell real stories and preserve the culture.

Don Trip: Substance outlasts trend. We’re focused on giving people music that speaks to something real, not just chasing what’s hot.

AllHipHop: How do y’all feel about the marketing side of things—videos, social media?

Don Trip: It’s like maintaining a house. You want the house, you gotta fix the roof. You want the career, you gotta do the work.

Starlito: Marketing is storytelling. If I can get 3 minutes of your time, maybe I can get you to listen to 51 minutes. We’ve had to do everyone’s job at some point—PR, camera, engineering—you name it.

AllHipHop: Do y’all go back and listen to the old Stepbrothers tapes?

Don Trip: Not really. I don’t even look at old pictures. I don’t want to get stuck in the past. My glory days are ahead of me.

Starlito: Too much reflection can hold you back. You start comparing numbers, chasing old sounds. That’s a trap. We’re building forward.

AllHipHop: Let’s lighten it up. Top 5 Hip-Hop duos?

Don Trip: Kriss Kross, Ball & G, Clipse, CNN and I’ll say me and ‘Lito.

Starlito: UGK, Outkast, Run-DMC, Boosie and Webbie, and yeah—me and Trip.

AllHipHop: Y’all included yourselves?

Starlito: Why not? The chemistry is real. We’re in that conversation.

AllHipHop: Final random topic: guns. Don, you got a favorite?

Don Trip: I got like 200. It’s therapeutic. Like painting. Hitting the same hole in a target 30 times? That’s art.

AllHipHop: So it’s a creative thing?

Don Trip: Yeah. It’s about control and precision. I teach my kids how to shoot. It’s not about violence—it’s about understanding power and being responsible with it.

Starlito: You talk to him long enough, you’ll be Googling calibers by the end of the day.

AllHipHop: Final thoughts?

Don Trip: Stepbrothers 4, out now. We touring, adding cities daily.

Starlito: We appreciate the love. This ain’t no trend. It’s a movement.

Rihanna’s Dad’s Cause Of Death Revealed

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty died in Los Angeles last month from a combination of respiratory failure and pancreatic cancer, according to a death certificate obtained by TMZ.

The father of Rihanna, 71, died at a hospital while “surrounded by family” following what was described as a “brief illness.”

The official document listed multiple causes of death, including aspiration pneumonia—a severe lung infection—along with acute renal failure and acute tubular necrosis, both of which point to severe kidney damage.

Fenty, who lived in Barbados, had kept a relatively low profile in recent years due to his strained relationship with his superstar daughter.

“I was so angry at him,” Rihanna told Oprah Winfrey during an interview in 2012, where she revealed she had repaired their relationship. “I was just angry about a lot of things from my childhood and I couldn’t separate him as a husband from him as a father.

She added, “I felt like if he was a bad husband, he was a bad father. I witnessed a lot of things in my childhood in my household.”

They did eventually reconcile and Ronald shared his joy publicly when Rihanna, 37, announced her second pregnancy during the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

At the time, he told TMZ he was “over the moon.”

The Grammy Award-winning singer has not yet issued a public statement regarding her father’s death. She is currently expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, with whom she shares two sons—RZA, 3, and Riot, who is nearly 2 years old.

Ronald Fenty died in Los Angeles in May 2024.

50 Cent Warns NYC Mayoral Candidate Will Usher In Apocalypse NYC

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

50 Cent slammed New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Instagram over his proposal to defund the police and raise taxes on the wealthy, claiming the Democratic socialist’s agenda would plunge the city into chaos.

“New York turns into Gotham city, if you defund the police. Trust me on this one, that’s not a good idea buddy,” the rapper wrote, alongside AI-generated images of a crumbling, dystopian Manhattan.

50 Cent also referenced the 1981 cult film Escape from New York, in which Manhattan is turned into a maximum-security prison following a national collapse.

The movie, directed by John Carpenter, depicts a lawless island overrun by criminals after the government abandons it, a scenario Fif seems to believe is not far off under Mamdani’s leadership.

“Escape from New York coming If you’re not careful,” 50 Cent warned.

In an earlier post, he mocked Mamdani’s economic platform and threatened to alert Donald Trump.

“Where did he come from whose friend is this? I’m not feeling this plan no. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too!”

Mamdani, 33, currently represents Queens’ 36th District in the New York State Assembly and is the Democratic nominee for the 2025 mayoral race.

Born in Uganda to Indian parents, he moved to New York at age 7 and is the son of academic Mahmood Mamdani and filmmaker Mira Nair.

His platform includes free public buses, rent freezes, universal childcare and city-owned grocery stores.

“What I’ve proposed is we raise $10 billion to pay for our entire economic agenda and start to Trump proof our city,” Mamdani said during an interview on The Breakfast Club.

The progressive candidate, backed by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, defeated Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary.

If elected, he would be the city’s first Muslim, first Indian American and first millennial mayor.

The 2025 mayoral election is scheduled for November.

Kendrick Lamar is bringing his Grand National Tour to Latin America this fall with stops in five major cities as he continues his global takeover.

That run wraps on August 9 in Sweden.

In December, Kendrick Lamar will headline two solo shows in Australia—Melbourne’s AAMI Park on December 3 and Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on December 10.

Diddy’s Defense Gives Closing Arguments: Labels Cassie Ventura “Gangster,” Mocks Baby Oil Stash

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

Diddy faced the final day of his high profile federal trial in Manhattan Friday (June 27). His defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, argued prosecutors targeted the Bad Boy Records mogul for his “lifestyle” rather than any criminal acts during a tense courtroom showdown.

Agnifilo, speaking directly to the jury, said the government’s case was built on “innuendo, suggestion and lifestyle”—not evidence.

“They took Astroglide and baby oil and that is the evidence in this case,” he said, mocking the items seized during raids on Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami homes.

Agnifilo described his client as a demanding but respected businessman, who was a drug addict. He stated that his employees remained loyal despite the pressure.

He admitted Diddy assaulted ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 but framed their relationship as a “great modern love story,” even calling Ventura a “gangster” in court.

He denied Ventura’s claim that Diddy raped her, stating, “I suggest it did not happen.”

Agnifilo dismissed accusations that Diddy orchestrated the arson of Kid Cudi’s Porsche as “nonsense” and said claims of drug trafficking were a “distraction,” arguing any drug use was personal and not part of a criminal operation.

At one point, Agnifilo referenced actor Michael B. Jordan to argue that Ventura was confident and in control of her career, noting she once turned down a man widely considered one of the world’s “most handsome.”

Tensions flared when Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey objected to Agnifilo’s remarks about the government’s motives. Judge Subramanian warned the defense, saying, “Mr. Agnifilo, for you, please don’t do that again. It’s grossly improper.”

The six-week trial ended without the music executive taking the stand or calling any witnesses in his defense.

The defense’s closing followed a five-hour summation Thursday (June 26) from Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik, who portrayed Diddy as the head of a criminal enterprise that used intimidation, violence and wealth to commit and conceal crimes for over 20 years.

Slavik described Diddy’s business as his “kingdom” and said his inner circle enabled his actions, including sex trafficking, drug-fueled parties called “freak offs” and physical abuse of multiple women. Prosecutors introduced surveillance footage, witness testimony and allegations of witness tampering to support their case.

The government is expected to deliver a rebuttal before jurors begin deliberations Friday afternoon and throughout the weekend.

Jim Jones Claims Nas Hasn’t Been This Popular Since JAY-Z Feud

By: London JennnCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

Jim Jones doubled down on his belief that he’s more relevant than Nas, saying the Queensbridge legend hasn’t been this talked about since his early 2000s feud with JAY-Z.

Speaking on the “Bag Fuel” podcast with DJ Clue, Esso and Hynaken earlier this week, the Harlem rapper didn’t hold back when asked about the ongoing debate comparing his relevance to Nas.

“He’s never been this viral ever,” Jones said, claiming his recent comments helped push Nas back into the spotlight.

Jones argued that cultural presence and visibility matter more than legacy alone.

“There’s a lot of people that sold more records than me that are also not around anymore,” he said. “What I did for Nas probably never been done for him in his life. He’s never been that viral at all. Ever. He’s never been talked about like this ever in his life.”

The conversation kicked off in June 2025 after Jim Jones made waves on the “Joe & Jada” podcast, questioning Nas’s current place in Hip-Hop.

That appearance reignited a wave of online chatter, with many weighing in on whether Nas’s influence remains strong in today’s music scene.

Jones didn’t stop there. He questioned Nas’s impact beyond his lyrical reputation and said people are “stuck on the sales,” suggesting that commercial success doesn’t always equal cultural relevance.

He also made it clear that there’s no personal connection between the two. “I don’t know Nas personally,” Jones said, adding that he doesn’t care to, either.

Jim Jones previously admitted that the Nas comparison was partly strategic. He said the move helped boost his streaming numbers and garner attention.

Drake Hits Back At T-Pain Following Advice To Bow Out “Gracefully”

By: London JennnCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

Drake fired back at T-Pain’s criticism, accusing the “Bartender” hitmaker of long-held resentment after being called out for not following his own advice.

The back-and-forth started when T-Pain appeared on the “Crash Dummies” podcast and reflected on a past conversation with Drake about knowing when to step away from music.

“One thing I learned from Drake, here’s the crazy thing, the one thing I learned from but one thing he hasn’t followed—his own words—Drake said, ‘I want to be one of those people that gracefully bow out and not get kicked out,'” T-Pain said.

He went on to say he took that advice to heart and slowed down his output, while Drake, in his view, keeps trying to win over listeners.

“No, listen, I got another one,” he said, mimicking Drake’s approach. “Hold on, check this out. Y’all ain’t like that one? OK, real quick, just one more. Let me try one more.”

T-Pain didn’t stop there. He suggested Drake had become the very artist he once said he didn’t want to be.

“And I learned that from him,” he said. “I’m not trying to impress y’all n#####. Y’all n##### don’t give a f### if I live or die! Why the f### would I keep trying to impress y’all n#####? I’m out! I’m done; I did everything that I was trying to do.”

Drake, clearly unimpressed, responded to T-Pain’s comments on Instagram.

“This guy always had resentment for me,” he wrote. “You can hear it every time he speaks on my name.”

Offset also chimed in, defending Drake and calling out T-Pain’s remarks. “Da boy is da boy s### ain’t gone change all dat,” he wrote. “Hating on another grown man who do more number than everybody is Diobolical !!!!”

Kanye West & King Combs Drop New EP Featuring Diddy & Controversial North West Cameo

By: London JennnCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

Kanye West and Christian “King” Combs joined forces on a new project, a surprise seven-track EP titled Never Stop.

The project dropped on Friday (June 27), with Ye executive producing for Christian. The EP’s centerpiece, “LONELY ROADS,” features Kanye West, Christian Combs, North West and a recorded prison call from Diddy.

The song had already stirred headlines earlier this year when a version titled “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine” was teased, prompting Kim Kardashian to attempt legal action to prevent its release due to their daughter North’s involvement.

The original version opened with Diddy saying, “I just want to express my gratitude for taking care of my kids, man. Nobody has reached out to them; nobody has called them.”

West replies, “Absolutely, I love you so much, man. You raised me, even when I didn’t know you, you know what I mean?”

Another track, “FREE DIDDY,” leans into the controversy.

Christian Combs raps, “Like damn, why the f### I’m in these tabloids?/If it ain’t me, it’s my pops or my b####/Throwin’ franks, stay at the top of my dick/They cop pleas, I cop watches and fits, for real.”

The hook repeats, “N##### ain’t goin’ to sleep ’til we see Diddy free.”

Never Stop – King Combs, Kanye West

Kanye has remained vocal in his support of Diddy, attending court proceedings and speaking out amid the mogul’s legal troubles.

The EP’s release came just hours after news broke of three additional lawsuits against Diddy, including one accusing Diddy and his son Justin Combs of a brutal gang rape in 2021.

Christian Combs is also facing a separate lawsuit from a woman who claims he sexually assaulted her during a December 2022 yacht trip in St. Martin organized by Diddy.

Diddy & Son Justin Combs Accused Of Brutal Gang Rape In New Lawsuit

By: London JennnCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

Sean “Diddy” Combs and his son Justin are facing explosive new legal trouble in Los Angeles, where a woman has filed a lawsuit accusing the pair of orchestrating a violent gang rape after luring her from Snapchat to a Beverly Hills mansion.

According to the complaint, the woman says she first connected with Justin Combs in 2017 through Snapchat.

After exchanging explicit photos, she claims he offered to fly her to Los Angeles for the weekend. Once she landed, she says a driver picked her up and brought her to a home in Beverly Hills, where she was allegedly given alcohol and marijuana she believed had been tampered with.

The woman alleges Justin pressured her into taking multiple “poppers” before three masked men entered the room.

One of them, she claims, was referred to by Justin Combs as “Pops,” which she believes was a reference to Diddy.

She says she was then taken upstairs and told: “You better let this happen. Or else,” before being sexually assaulted by the three men from that night into the next day.

Diddy’s legal team has denied the allegations outright, stating: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”

Diddy Hit With Two Additional Lawsuits This Week

The woman is represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, who also filed two additional lawsuits earlier this week on behalf of two male plaintiffs. Those men allege they were invited to a Diddy-hosted party in Los Angeles, where they were “allegedly drugged and assaulted while there.”

This latest lawsuit adds to the growing legal firestorm surrounding Diddy, who is already facing a federal racketeering and sex trafficking case, along with more than 30 civil suits accusing him of sexual misconduct.

Buzbee said the claims in his lawsuits are “strikingly similar” to those outlined in Diddy’s federal RICO trial, highlighting a “pattern of behavior.”

Diddy Accused of Sodomizing Man After Telling Him “You’re About To Get That Diddy Love”

By: London JennnCategory: NewsJune 27, 2025

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing fresh legal trouble after being hit with yet another lawsuit.

A man named Brandon Adams filed a lawsuit accusing the embattled Hip-Hop mogul of sodomizing him at a 2021 house party in Los Angeles after allegedly hearing the phrase, “You’re about to get that Diddy love.”

The complaint, filed earlier this week, claims Adams met a driver at a gas station who invited him to a party at a private residence. Upon arrival, Adams says he was instructed to leave his phone in the vehicle.

According to the lawsuit, after consuming drinks that left him disoriented, Adams says he stumbled into an empty bedroom, passed out and later awoke to someone unbuckling his pants.

When he asked what was happening, he claims he heard a voice he believes was Diddy say, “You’re about to get that Diddy love.”

The alleged assault adds to a mounting list of legal battles for Combs, who is already the subject of a federal sex trafficking and racketeering case in Manhattan, alongside more than 30 civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct.

Combs has consistently denied all allegations. His legal team issued a statement saying, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”

The suits were filed shortly before prosecutors began delivering their closing arguments in Diddy’s federal trial.

Diddy Hit With Two New Additional Lawsuits This Week, One Involving Son Justin Combs

Tony Buzbee, the attorney representing Adams, said this lawsuit is one of three he filed this week involving alleged abuse tied to Combs.

One of the other cases involves another man who claims he was also invited to a Diddy-hosted event in Los Angeles and was “allegedly drugged and assaulted while there.”

The third lawsuit was filed by a 25-year-old woman who accuses both Diddy and his son Justin Combs of gang rape.

Buzbee said the claims in these lawsuits mirror those presented in the federal RICO case against Combs.

“As we have watched, we have learned a great deal that confirms what we believe to be a pattern of behavior and, given the testimony and other evidence we have seen, remain extremely confident in our efforts in the civil courts,” Buzbee said.

Man Arrested For Kendrick Lamar Halftime Show Protest In Support Of Palestinians

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: NewsJune 26, 2025

A man has been arrested almost five months after waving a Palestinian flag with “Gaza” and “Sudan” scrawled across it during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show performance.

Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, a 41-year-old resident of New Orleans, was hired as a background performer for Kendrick Lamar.

He disrupted the February 9 show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans by climbing atop a black Buick GNX and revealing the flag mid-performance.

He refused to follow the security’s commands and was quickly detained. The incident triggered an investigation by Troop NOLA Troopers, who identified Nantambu through internal review and surveillance footage.

An arrest warrant was issued by the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court.

On Thursday (June 26), Nantambu turned himself in through his attorney and was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center.

“The preliminary investigation revealed that during the halftime performance, a performer deviated from his assigned role, retrieved a Sudanese flag bearing the message ‘Sudan and Free Gaza’ and disrupted the halftime show by running across the field with the flag. Security and law enforcement personnel on site quickly recognized the unauthorized action and apprehended the performer after he refused to comply with their commands to stop,” police said in a statement.

He faces charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by interruption of a lawful assembly.

The NFL permanently banned Nantambu from all league events. The protest took place during one of the most-watched Super Bowl halftime performances in recent history.

French Montana Storms Out Of Interview Over Drake, Rick Ross Question

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsJune 26, 2025

French Montana cut his interview short and left the set of Sited with Rah Ali after being asked about the ongoing tension between Rick Ross and Drake, two of his longtime collaborators.

The abrupt exit unfolded during a recent taping of Rah Ali’s podcast, where the Hip-Hop artist appeared visibly irritated when the conversation shifted toward his personal life and the high-profile feud.

The interview was going smooth until French Montana, with the rapper revealing longtime associate Max B would be coming home on November 9, which is also French’s birthday.

When asked about his love life, French Montana somewhat dodged the question, but with a good explanation.

“I just want to keep my private life. My private life,” French Montana said. “I feel like every time it hit the media, it just, it was down to s### after that.”

When he was asked about the rift between Ross and Drake—French didn’t just refuse to answer, he suddenly excused himself.

“I’ll be right back I think I double parked my car outside,” he said before walking off-set. He never returned.

The moment added another layer to the already public tension surrounding the Ross-Drake fallout. Ali, clearly surprised, attempted to continue the show but acknowledged the awkwardness.

The Drake-Rick Ross feud, which ran parallel to the Canadian rap star’s beef with Kendrick Lamar, was one of Hip-Hop’s most talked-about conflicts last year, with diss tracks and social media jabs exchanged between the two former collaborators.

French Montana, who has worked closely with both artists, has largely stayed silent on the matter—until now, or instead, until his silence spoke volumes.

Kim Kardashian Takes A Dark Turn For “Bratz” Role

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsJune 26, 2025

Kim Kardashian is stepping into the role of a villain for Amazon MGM’s upcoming live-action Bratz film, as the studio capitalizes on Hollywood’s toy-to-screen trend sparked by 2023’s Barbie.

The project is still in early development, but it is already drawing attention thanks to Kardashian’s casting and the enduring popularity of the Bratz brand, which has sold over 200 million dolls globally since its debut in 2001.

Kim Kardashian’s role marks a return to scripted acting following her stint on American Horror Story: Delicate as well as PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie and adds a new layer to her evolving entertainment portfolio.

Amazon MGM reportedly landed the rights to the film after a competitive bidding process, hoping to tap into the same cultural energy that made Barbie a box office juggernaut.

According to Variety, the Bratz dolls have maintained strong online engagement, making them a prime candidate for a cinematic revival. The film is being produced in collaboration with Picturestart and MGA Entertainment, the company behind the original dolls.

Writers Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick are penning the script, while Erik Feig and Julia Hammer will produce under Picturestart.

No release date or additional casting details have been confirmed.

Diddy Sad During Four-Hour Closing Argument Painting Him As Leader Of A Criminal Enterprise, Who Beat, Controlled & Urinated On Victims

By: Mike WinslowCategory: NewsJune 26, 2025

Diddy sat stone-faced in a New York federal courtroom Thursday (June 26) as prosecutors delivered a blistering four-hour closing argument, accusing the Hip-Hop mogul of orchestrating a sprawling criminal enterprise built on coercion, violence and control.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik described Diddy as the undisputed leader of a network that enabled sex trafficking, drug distribution and physical abuse, all to maintain his power and status.

“He didn’t allow the word ‘no,'” Slavik told the jury, laying out a case that has unfolded over 31 days and included testimony from 34 witnesses.

The government’s narrative centered on two women—Cassie Ventura and a woman identified only as Jane—who prosecutors say were manipulated, abused and trafficked across state and international lines.

The prosecution alleged Diddy used his wealth and influence to isolate and dominate them, often with the help of close associates.

Slavik pointed to a 2016 incident at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, where Diddy allegedly beat Ventura and then paid $100,000 in cash to suppress surveillance footage.

Prosecutors said his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram and longtime bodyguard, D-Roc, helped count the money. The motive, Slavik said, was simple: public exposure would “ruin him.”

The government also accused Diddy of using drugs, including liquid Molly, to control Jane and force her into what were described as “freak-offs” and “Wild King Knights”—sex parties involving multiple partners and paid escorts.

Prosecutors said Diddy threatened to release explicit videos of Jane to her child’s famous rapper father if she refused to participate.

Khorram was portrayed as a key player in the alleged enterprise, responsible for sending drugs and cash to Diddy across the country. Prosecutors argued that these actions, along with the use of cellphones and interstate travel for sex workers, violated federal commerce laws.

The trial also revisited a 2009 incident where Diddy allegedly beat Ventura and confined her to a hotel room until her injuries healed, which they said proved kidnapping.

Prosecutors said he later demanded $20,000 from her family after learning she was romantically involved with rapper Kid Cudi. That same month, Diddy moved $3.2 million through one of his accounts, according to financial records presented in court, so he didn’t need the money – it was all about control.

Slavik claimed Diddy was behind the torching of Kid Cudi’s car, calling it a calculated act of intimidation. Capricorn Clark, one of Diddy’s former assistants, testified that she was ordered to track down Cudi—another act prosecutors labeled as kidnapping.

The government argued that Diddy’s business empire functioned like a kingdom, with young, eager employees willing to procure drugs or sex workers to stay in his favor.

Prosecutors said the abuse extended beyond the women to their families, all to reinforce Diddy’s control.

Diddy’s defense is expected to begin closing arguments tomorrow, June 27 and the jury could begin deliberations.
