Young Thug RICO Trial Finally Over With Yak Gotti & Co-Defendant Acquittals

By: Kyle Eustice Updated Category: News

The two remaining co-defendants involved in Young Thug’s RICO trial were acquitted of murder charges on Tuesday (December 3), putting an end to the longest-running criminal trial in Georgia state history.

Yak Gotti was found not guilty of all six charges he was facing. After the verdict was read, he reportedly hung his head and made the sign of the cross as attorney Doug Weinstein wrapped his arms around him. The second remaining co-defendant, Shannon Stillwell, was convicted of one count of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon but found not guilty of his six remaining charges. He also hugged his lawyer, Max Schardt, right before he was sentenced to time served and probation.

Yak Gotti and Stillwell were originally charged with the fatal 2015 drive-by shooting of Donovan Thomas Jr. Stillwell was also charged with the March 2022 shooting death of Shymel Drinks.

Comprised of eight women and four men, the jury began hearing evidence in November 2023 following a 10-month jury selection process. Following closing arguments last week, they started deliberations shortly before Thanksgiving and took just over 15 hours to reach a verdict.

Young Thug initially pleaded not guilty and emphatically denied being the leader of a violent street gang that ran the Cleveland Avenue community. The trial dragged on for months, marred by mistake after mistake. It boiled over when Williams’ defense lawyer Brian Steel was arrested on a contempt charge (although it was later dropped). Fulton County Chief Judge Ural Glanville was also involuntarily recused from the case over his mishandling of a secret meeting with a key witness.

In late October, three other co-defendants pleaded out with lighter sentences than expected just as Judge Paige Reese Whitaker was on the verge of declaring a mistrial, which looked good for Thug’s outcome. Sure enough, Young Thug soon pleaded “no contest” to racketeering conspiracy and participation in a criminal street gang in a leadership role. He then pleaded guilty to three drug charges, two gun charges and one lesser gang charge.

Fulton County Chief Deputy District Attorney Adriane Love urged the court to reject the “no contest” pleas, but Judge Whitaker allowed them anyway. Young Thug was sentenced on the spot to 15 years of probation and released, although if he violates the terms of his probation in any way, he’ll receive a “backloaded” sentence of 20 years.

Young Thug’s father, Jeffrey Williams Sr., condemned the probation terms, which notably includes a ban from residing in the Atlanta Metro area.

“I feel great that he’s going home,” Williams Sr. told local reporters. “But at the same token, I still wanted to fight. But that’s his decision. On the other hand, I raised him to be the man that he is. I’ve always been in his life from a pup to now, and I’m going to continue to be in his life and as an adult.”

Williams Sr. explained why he thinks the terms of Thug’s probation are particularly “offensive,” especially when it comes to the restriction on his son’s return to his hometown.

“I’m totally against that because this is where he’s from,” he said. “And to have a district attorney take that away from him that isn’t a residence from here, she’s from another state, and to see her take a man away from where he’s from, to have to go live somewhere else, that’s offensive to me.”

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy Drowning In Trouble: Former FBI Director’s Daughter Joins Feds Team

As Diddy remains behind the bars of Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center, the team looking to lock him away for years is growing stronger.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, the daughter of former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director James Comey, Maurene Comey, has committed herself to the case.

The docs, filed by United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams on Monday (December 2), state: “The undersigned attorney respectfully requests the Clerk to note her appearance in this case and to add her as a Filing User to whom Notices of Electronic Filing will be transmitted in this case.”

The new addition follows a small victory for Diddy. In his fight against alleged leaks to the media, a federal judge ordered prosecutors to produce a sworn affidavit affirming they’re not the source of leaked information. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian set a December 4 deadline for compliance.

Diddy’s legal team has previously accused federal agents and prosecutors of improperly disclosing details to the press. They claimed the alleged leaks have jumpstarted seemingly endless prejudicial media coverage, preventing Diddy from getting a fair trial.

Among the allegations is the claim that a 2016 surveillance video showing Diddy brutally assault ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura was leaked by individuals tied to the case. Prosecutors firmly denied the allegations and insisted Diddy was doing nothing but “grasping at straws.”

They said there’s zero evidence to suggest improper disclosure of grand jury materials and insisted that the 2016 video was sourced outside the federal investigation. Diddy’s request for an expansive gag order failed to gain traction with Judge Subramanian, who ruled against the measure on October 25.

Although the Court imposed restrictions on the release of grand jury materials and other sensitive information, Subramanian stopped short of finding any credible evidence of past misconduct by prosecutors.

Diddy was arrested in September and is expected to head to trial in May 2025. He’s pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.

“This is about having faith and being from a small state but having a big state of mind,” Mayfield said after accepting the award. “Nine years ago, before my friend Victory The Producer passed away, he told me I could be the one from Delaware that could make it everywhere musically. He was right and I will continue to honor his legacy. My greatest joy other than making music or poetry is making an impact in my community and making my loved ones proud.

Dover Mayor Robin Christiansen recognized his commitment to service during a citywide celebration dubbed the 1NA Day of Giving Back, granting Mayfield the Key to the City in the process.

Despite his soaring career, Mayfield’s proudest moments remain tied to family.

His daughter, Aaliyah Adams-Mayfield, recently signed her letter of intent to join the reigning national champion acrobatics and tumbling team at Baylor University.

The RBE Award is another hallmark of Mayfield’s career that reinforces his artistic depth and unmatched devotion to enriching lives.

Eminem’s Mother Debbie—Subject Of Many Of His Songs—Dead At 69

Eminem’s mother, Debbie Nelson, has reportedly died after succumbing to advanced lung cancer. Per TMZ, Nelson died on Monday night (December 2) in St. Joseph, Missouri, just three months after her diagnosis was made public.

“There are not many options [for Debbie],” a source allegedly said. “She is currently staying between the cancer center and with family members. She has a very limited amount of time [left].”

Eminem’s relationship with his mother was complicated at best. Early in his career, he accused her of abuse and neglect in songs like “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” and “My Mom.” He’s  suggested multiple times that Nelson had issues with substance abuse, particularly prescription drugs, and that her addiction contributed to the instability in their household. In “My Mom,” he mentions being exposed to drugs like V##### during his youth.

In 1999, Nelson sued him for defamation following the release of “My Name Is,” which included lines like, “I just found out my mom does more dope than I do/I told her I’d grow up to be a famous rapper/Make a record about doin’ drugs and name it after her.”

Nelson wanted $10 million in damages, but the lawsuit was settled in 2001 for $25,000, with Nelson reportedly receiving just $1,600 after legal fees. Continuing his contempt for Nelson, Eminem later raps “f### you Debbie” in the 2002 track “Without Me.”

Worsening their relationship with the 2007 release of Nelson’s tell-all memoir, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem in which she accused him of exaggerating their issues for fame and success. Nelson publicly criticized Eminem in interviews, too, but they ultimately made peace as evidenced in the 2013 video for “Headlights” and just last year Nelson congratulated her son on being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Debbie Nelson was 69 years old.

Why Bangkok Is the Perfect Destination for Solo Travelers

By: Staff Writer Updated Category: Uncategorized

Bangkok has long been known as a vibrant city that blends rich cultural traditions with modern experiences. For those who enjoy exploring independently, it offers an ideal environment filled with adventure, history, and modern conveniences. From bustling markets to serene temples, the city provides countless activities that cater to solo travelers. Bangkok eSIM options now make it even easier for travelers to stay connected during their journey. This article tells why Bangkok is the perfect destination for solo travelers trying to enjoy and explore to the fullest.

Bustling Markets and Street Food

One of the top reasons Bangkok stands out for solo travelers is its iconic street markets and food stalls. Whether wandering through the lively streets of Chatuchak Weekend Market or exploring the night bazaars, solo travelers can experience the city’s pulse firsthand. These markets are more than just shopping hubs; they are places where stories are shared and the essence of Thai culture is felt. Every corner reveals something new, from handcrafted souvenirs to sizzling street food dishes.

The food scene in Bangkok is unmatched, offering everything from aromatic bowls of noodles to sweet mango sticky rice. Navigating these street food stalls is a solo traveler’s dream, as the freedom to sample various dishes creates a truly personalized experience. Plus, sharing a meal at a communal table often leads to meeting fellow travelers and locals, adding a social element to the adventure.

Historic Temples and Cultural Landmarks

Exploring Bangkok’s spiritual side is another essential experience for solo travelers. The city is home to some of the most stunning temples in Southeast Asia, including Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho, where the famous Reclining Buddha resides. These landmarks offer an opportunity to appreciate the city’s architectural beauty and peaceful spots for reflection and relaxation.

Walking through these sacred sites is both a cultural and personal journey. The gentle hum of prayers and the scent of incense in the air create a serene atmosphere that allows solo travelers to pause and reflect on their experiences. Visiting these temples at one’s own pace offers a chance to immerse deeply in the spiritual ambiance, free from the rush of a group tour.

Efficient Public Transport and Accessibility

Thanks to Bangkok’s efficient public transport system, getting around is straightforward. The BTS Skytrain and MRT subway make it simple to travel across the city without hassle. Solo travelers can easily access popular areas such as Sukhumvit, Siam, and Silom, making exploration convenient and affordable. The city’s extensive network ensures that even first-time visitors feel comfortable navigating independently.

For those who wish to venture further, the city’s many boat taxis and tuk-tuks add a sense of adventure to getting around. These transport modes offer practical solutions and a fun way to see more of the city. 

Opportunities for Social Connections

Bangkok is known for its welcoming atmosphere and diverse community of travelers. Hostels, cafes, and co-working spaces create perfect opportunities for making new friends and exchanging stories. Solo travelers will find the city has a thriving social scene, from night markets to rooftop bars with spectacular city views. Joining local tours or taking part in cooking classes can also be great ways to meet people who share similar interests.

The city’s numerous workshops and events cater to travelers looking for educational and fun experiences. These social activities offer a blend of interaction and entertainment, helping solo adventurers feel less isolated while still enjoying the independence of traveling alone. 

Safe and Friendly Environment

Safety is often a top concern for those traveling alone, and Bangkok has gained a reputation as a relatively safe city for tourists. Local people are known for their kindness and helpfulness, making it easier for travelers to ask for directions or assistance when needed. Popular areas are well-patrolled, and travelers can explore confidently during both day and night. 

Solo travelers can also take comfort in the city’s well-established tourism infrastructure. With a strong presence of English-speaking locals and clear signs at significant attractions, navigating unfamiliar areas becomes less intimidating. Simple safety measures, such as sticking to well-lit streets and using reputable transportation, add an extra layer of reassurance for those on their own.

A Balance of Modern and Traditional Experiences

Bangkok offers an extraordinary mix of modern convenience and deep-rooted tradition. The city’s impressive skyline boasts sleek shopping malls and luxury accommodations, while traditional floating markets and centuries-old temples transport visitors back in time.

The freedom to switch between modern activities and cultural exploration makes Bangkok a versatile destination for any solo traveler. One moment might be spent sipping coffee at a chic cafe, and the next might involve exploring local art galleries or enjoying a traditional Thai massage.

Bangkok’s unique blend of history, culture, and modernity makes it an exceptional choice for solo travelers. The city’s vibrant markets, awe-inspiring temples, efficient transportation, and opportunities for social connections provide an enriching travel experience. For those seeking adventure, connection, and a taste of local life, Bangkok truly stands out as an unmatched solo travel destination.

How to See What Your Ex Likes on Instagram

By: Staff Writer Updated Category: Uncategorized

Instagram has become one of the most popular social media platforms, with millions of users sharing photos, videos, and stories daily. Knowing what someone likes on Instagram can provide insights into their interests, preferences, and activities. 

However, Instagram does not offer a straightforward way to see what someone likes directly. Here is a comprehensive guide on how to see what someone likes on Instagram, including both traditional methods and the cutting-edge tool called Snoopreport. 


Discover how to see what someone likes on Instagram with the ultimate Instagram activity tracker

Traditional Methods to See What Someone Likes on Instagram

Before tools like Snoopreport were available to see what people like on Instagram, users had to use various methods to see what others liked on Instagram. These methods included the following:

Watching Their Feed

One way to gauge someone’s likes on Instagram, for example your ex-partner or favorite celebrities, is by keeping an eye on their feed. When users like or comment on posts, these interactions can sometimes be visible if the user’s activity appears in your feed under the “Following” tab. However, Instagram has removed this feature, making it less reliable and more time-consuming.

Instead, you’d just have to watch their posts and follow their comments to see what they enjoy. Of course, this can be challenging because not everyone posts all the time, and even when they do, it may not give much context on who they are or what they like to do.

Observing Their Stories

Another approach is to watch their Instagram Stories. Users often share posts they like in their Stories, giving you a glimpse into their preferences. While this can provide some information, it is an incomplete method that requires constant monitoring. For example, people usually repost stories with other people, causes they support, or even share their daily lives.

However, if you’re trying to get data on all of your followers, this can be impossible. The time and energy it would require are not sustainable or efficient.

Check Out Who They Follow 

Another method to understand what someone likes on Instagram is to check out the accounts they follow. Users often follow accounts related to their personal interests, such as celebrities, brands, hobbies, or social causes. By browsing through the list of accounts followed, you can gather insights into what kind of content they are interested in. However, this approach also has limitations. 

With large follow lists, it may be challenging to discern specific interests, and users’ follow actions do not necessarily equate to active engagement. Moreover, Instagram’s privacy settings can restrict access to follow lists, making this method less effective. For a more comprehensive and efficient solution, tools like Snoopreport offer detailed analytics on user engagement and preferences.

Is There An App To See What Someone Likes On Instagram?

Yes! Are you wondering how to see someone’s likes on Instagram without all the extra work? Given the limitations of traditional methods, a more effective solution is needed. Enter Snoopreport, an online activity tracker for Instagram. Snoopreport allows you to track likes on hashtags and posts, new followings and unfollowing, and the thematic interests of any user with a public profile. It can be used for various purposes, such as parental control, spying, or tracking the activities of your favorite celebrities.

How Snoopreport Works

Snoopreport aggregates data and provides detailed reports on the Instagram activity of your chosen users. By tracking likes, follows, and other interactions, Snoopreport offers comprehensive insights into what people like on Instagram. This makes it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to understand someone’s interests or monitor their online behavior.

Key Features of Snoopreport

Introducing Summary Analytics: The Latest Update from Snoopreport

Snoopreport has recently released an exciting new feature called Summary Analytics. This AI-driven update takes user activity tracking to the next level by generating detailed reports about a user’s interests, income, location, topics of conversation, places they might like to visit, and more. Here’s a closer look at what Summary Analytics offers:

Detailed Interest Reports

Summary Analytics uses AI to analyze the patterns in a user’s Instagram activity. By doing so, it creates comprehensive reports on their interests. Whether it’s fashion, travel, fitness, or any other topic, you’ll get a clear picture of what captivates them.

Income Insights

Based on the user’s activity and interactions, Summary Analytics can provide estimates of their income level. This can help them understand their lifestyle and spending habits.

Location Tracking

Summary Analytics can infer the user’s location based on the places they frequently interact with or post about. This feature is particularly useful for parents wanting to keep tabs on their children’s whereabouts or individuals interested in the geographic habits of their favorite influencers.

Conversational Topics

By analyzing the comments and captions the user engages with, Summary Analytics can identify the main topics of conversation. This offers deeper insights into their personal interests and social interactions.

Travel Recommendations

The AI can also suggest places that might interest the user based on their activity. This could be useful for planning trips with someone or simply understanding their travel preferences.

Get deeper insights into Instagram activity—find out their interests, favorite places, and conversation starters

Conclusion

While traditional methods like watching someone’s feed, observing their stories, and following them for months can give you some insight into what they like on Instagram, these approaches are often time-consuming and incomplete. If you’re wondering how to see what people like on Instagram, you need to be using Snoopreport. This powerful tool goes beyond basic tracking by offering detailed reports on user activity through its Summary Analytics feature.

With Snoopreport and Summary Analytics, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of someone’s interests, income, location, conversational topics, and travel preferences. Whether you’re a fan tracking your favorite celebrity or someone interested in enhancing their dating experience, Snoopreport provides the detailed insights you need.

50 Cent is poking fun at Tony Yayo over his musical tastes, teasing him for listening to Drake over Kendrick Lamar. 

On Monday (December 2), 50 Cent shared a glimpse of his jet-setting lifestyle, posting a “behind the scenes” video, including a recent trip with his G-unit soldiers, including Tony Yayo.  

In one memorable moment from the highlight reel, the crew is aboard a private jet when 50 Cent turns to Tony Yayo and asks what he’s listening to on his headphones. 

“Kendrick s###,” Yayo replied before confirming he was listening to K. Dot’s latest album GNX.

50 Cent Says Drake Never Lost Kendrick Lamar Battle

Despite the clowning, 50 Cent supported Drake amid the battle with Kendrick Lamar, despite facing backlash for doing so.  

Even after the clash was over and Lamar was declared the winner in the eyes of the public, 50 Cent refused to believe Drake took a loss.  

“I was telling him, it’s not him,” 50 Cent recalled during a recent interview. “I’m listening on the outskirts, it’s not you. Don’t let yourself think that for a second. On some real s###, I said, ‘They said you lost, okay. Well what did you lose?’ What exactly did he lose if he got $300 something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a m############ thing, man.”   

Overall, 50 Cent said the battle was “good for Hip-Hop” and pushed Drake and Lamar to “create quality material faster.”   

He also marveled at the intricate Easter egg-laden disses, particularly from Kendrick Lamar.    

“It was about the lyrics, but that s### was on a different level,” he exclaimed. “The f###### [good kid, m.A.A.d city] car in the video. That s### was a mystery. Everything was tied to something. I was like what the f###? That wasn’t in Hip-Hop before that.”

JAY-Z’s social justice organization, Team Roc, is taking another step in the mission to bring justice and transparency to the Kansas City criminal justice system with the launch of a true crime podcast “Corruption Uncovered.” 

The podcast, hosted by journalist Josie Duffy Rice, will examine alleged misconduct, including longstanding accusations of corruption in the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department (KCKPD). 

“Corruption Uncovered” will probe the trial of former KCKPD detective Roger Golubski who faced federal charges for extorting and raping Black women and teenagers. Golubski was due to stand trial on Monday (December 1) but was found dead in an apparent suicide on the eve of his trial. A judge has now dismissed the case.  

The podcast will also include interviews with survivors, impacted families, community members, attorneys and national and local activists. 

Team Roc shared a trailer for the podcast on Monday, including snippets of interviews with Golubski’s alleged victims.  

“I said, ‘I’m gonna call the police.’” recalled one woman who claimed Golubski raped her repeatedly. “He said, ‘I am the police.’” 

“What does justice look like after decades of corruption in law enforcement?” the caption read. “Will the U.S. v. Roger Golubski have the answers? Tune in to Corruption Uncovered, our new true crime podcast exposing corruption within the Kansas City, Kansas police department.”

“Corruption Uncovered” debuts on December 6. 

Meanwhile, last month, JAY-Z and Team Roc, in partnership with the Midwest Innocence Project, sued Kansas City. They filed a lawsuit seeking the release of police misconduct records, accusing city officials of blocking access to key documents. 

Team Roc believes the documents could expose decades of abuse by members of the KCKPD. 

Serena Williams Address Skin Bleaching Accusations Amid Viral Video Debate

Serena Williams has responded after a recent video sparked claims the 23-time Grand Slam champion is bleaching her skin. 

The rumors spread after Williams recently shared a video of herself at a school event for her daughter.

She addressed the speculation during an Instagram Live Monday (December 2) while during a makeup tutorial for her Wyn Beauty brand.  

“And then I put just that neutral color. That is actually my skin color, and no, for you haters out there, I do not bleach my skin,” Williams began. “There is a thing called sunlight, and in that sunlight, you get different colors.” 

Responding to the viral video claims directly, Williams explained that she was wearing “stage makeup” while volunteering at her daughter’s play. 

“Yes, I’m calling you out on this because it is ridiculous,” Williams said before sharing her pride for her skin tone.  

“Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, she bleached her skin.’ I’m a dark, Black woman, and I love who I am, and I love how I look,” she continued. 

While Serena Williams said skin bleaching is “just not my thing,” she acknowledged that others do and shouldn’t be judged for it.  

“If people do it, that’s their thing, and they have every opportunity and they should. I don’t judge, but you guys do,” she added. “But that’s what this world is about, and I stay in my lane — the non-judgy one, and I keep it. But no, I actually don’t bleach my skin, so can we just kinda clear that up?”  

 50 Cent To Join Forces With Jadakiss For First Kiss Café Brick-and-Mortar Store

Jadakiss once admitted he “made a lot of money” dissing 50 Cent, but now the former rivals can make bank together, joining forces in a new venture involving the Yonkers MC’s coffee brand. 

The Lox rapper launched Kiss Café in 2022 with his father, Bob Phillips, and son, Jaewon Phillips. The brand originated from Jadakiss’ family connection to the coffee industry, where his father has been actively involved since 1977.

After setting up shop in Shreveport, Louisiana, 50 Cent began buying swathes of buildings and vacant lots. The G-Unit founder emerged as one of the region’s largest property owners with plans for a new café. He’s now calling on his old friend Jadakiss to establish his first brick-and-mortar store.   

On Monday (December 2), 50 Cent hopped on Instagram with his vision for Jadakiss’ Kiss Café. 

“It’s a go @jadakiss,” he wrote. “SHREVEPORT is ready let’s get it.”

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

Jadakiss replied in the comments, telling 50 Cent, “i’m waiting on YOU.” 

50 Cent has poured millions into Shreveport as part of a three-step revitalization process. He purchased and upgraded nearly two dozen downtown properties in phase one of his plan. 

Meanwhile, 50 could make Jadakiss’ father’s dream of a physical Kiss Café store a reality.  

Bob Phillips expressed his desire for a storefront while on “Drink Champs” with Jadakiss, although he feared he might not live to see it happen. 

“Hopefully one day we would like to franchise and partner up and have brick and mortar Kiss Cafés,” he explained. “I mean that’s the ultimate goal.” 

Cam Newton Urges Lil Wayne To Diss Kendrick Lamar: “Drake Ain’t Capable”

Cam Newton is calling out Lil Wayne to settle Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar because the former NFL star believes the Toronto superstar isn’t “capable” of dealing with K. Dot himself.  

Newton addressed the rivalry during the latest episode of the “4th & 1” podcast. 

“I’m a fan of Drake,” he said before admitting he was about to deliver a backhanded compliment. “But after Kendrick and this beef… I look at Drake differently. I don’t think Drake has it in him to go to the places that he needs to go to attack Kendrick properly.” 

However, Cam Newton expressed confidence Lil Wayne has what it takes to take on Kendrick Lamar while doubling down on his Drake take.  

“He won’t be able to do that with Dwayne Carter,” Newton declared. “I wanna see Lil’ Wayne… just for the appreciation of the art… because Drake ain’t capable.” 

According to Cam Newton, Drake is too “distracted” by Kendrick Lamar affiliates like DeMar DeRozan and Wayne needs to lead the charge. 

“Wake that muthafucka up,” he yelled. “‘Cuz I wanna see Lil Wayne.” 

He went on to goad Lil Wayne over Lamar headlining the Super Bowl Halftime show in New Orleans, urging him to drop a diss.    

“You’re going to let this muthafucka come into your muthafuckin’ city o muthafuckin’ February,” Newton teased. “And you ain’t gonna drop nothing?”  

 Meanwhile, Can Newton will be pleased to learn rumors are circulating that Lil Wayne has already hit the studio to record a Kendrick Lamar diss. Weezy is said to have recorded a response to “Wacced Out Murals” after K. Dot aired his phone call. 

Lil Wayne seemingly addressed the track on social media , urging Dot to “let this giant sleep.”

Ray J is raising the alarm after revealing someone smashed his car window. 

On Monday evening (December 2), the singer-turned-entrepreneur took to his Instagram Stories to share a video of the vandalism. In the brief clip, Ray J shows the damage, revealing the shattered glass. 

He points out that he has child car seats in the vehicle, highlighting the potential threat to his children. Ray J then addresses the culprit, hinting that he knows both the identity of the person who smashed his car window and their motive. 

“That’s what it’s come to,” he says while staring into the camera. “For what I’m tryna do? And you know I know. Like, I know. Okay…alright.”

Ray J Reveals Shattered Car Window

The incident with his car window comes just weeks after Ray J claimed someone tried to shoot him in an attempted hit on his life.  

“N##### just tried to shoot me,” he said in an Instagram video November 12. “They tried to kill me, n####.”  

While he didn’t share any more details, Ray J implied he was being pressured to apologize for something.    

“And you want me to apologize?” he added. “F### you.” 

Meanwhile, Ray J has made headlines in recent months following multiple appearances and interviews discussing the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs.  

During an appearance on Chris Cuomo for NewsNation, the “One Wish” hitmaker expressed disbelief at the onslaught of allegations. 

“I think a lot of the stories are becoming out of control, it’s super extreme again,” Ray J said. “You know, you start one way and then as it builds, there’s thousands of people creating a new narrative. When you do your research, do your due diligence on it, a lot of it doesn’t come back real. It’s starting to feel like it’s all one-sided against one man and people are liking it.” 

Roddy Ricch’s Abandon Storage Unit Leads To Man Receiving Death Threats

A man has found himself in embroiled in a life-threatening scandal over memorabilia link to Los Angeles rapper Roddy Ricch.

In case you missed it, a content creator went viral earlier this month after sharing a video claiming he purchased an abandoned storage unit containing items owned by the Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial lyricist for under $300. In the unit the man found multiple suitcases filled with designer clothes — with some still seemingly unworn with the tags intact.

However, it appears the most lucrative find from the unit was the Grammy Award Ricch won in 2019 alongside his beloved, late collaborator Nipsey Hussle for Best Rap Performance for their hit song “Rack In The Middle.”

This is where the phrase “more money, more problems” comes to play because apparently the Grammy became the most problematic item uncovered in the storage unit haul for the man. In a subsequent video the man shared he revealed he had not only begun receiving death threats, but also claimed his Social Security information had been leaked along with the location of his house in the days since he shared the video of himself finding the Grammy Award.

The man also claimed he attempted to return the Grammy to Ricch and his team, who he says reached out to him after finding out he was in possession of the award. However, the man says he was unable to strike up agreement with Ricch’s team to return the award after claiming they denied his request to appear in a video with him returning the hardware.

In the end, though, the man was able to get into contact with the authorities, who helped facilitate the exchange of of the Grammy Award with one of Ricch’s assistants. Ricch himself also appeared to comment on the matter, explaining that the storage unit was “mishandled” due to one of his assistants being involved in a serious accident.

“My assistant was in a near fatal motorcycle accident in a coma, which is how the storage was mishandled,” Ricch wrote in part. “I appreciate you for finding it in your heart to return to Grammy. Much love.”

Dave Blunts Claps Back at Snoop Dogg While Fans Worry Over Health!

The internet said, “Leave this alone,” but NAH…I am doubling down on spreading this around.

Dave Blunts is back in the headlines, but this time it’s not just for his music. This time, it’s for a performance that’s got fans raising red flags about his health. The rapper is tipping the scales at 500 pounds and it was all on display at the 4th Annual JUICE WRLD DAY in Chicago. They honored Juice WRLD, but left fans concerned. And then there is the criticism, but I am doubling down!

Davey went viral when he performed while seated and hooked up to an oxygen tank. First of all, he blasted Snoop Dogg for having some words, but Snoop reportedly had already apologized!

Snoop Dogg is never shy with his opinions, but Dave was NOT having it. From the couch on stage, he fired back:
“Chicago! Do y’all have a problem with me sitting down on this stage?” 

Crowd cheered!

“Exactly—so get the f##k off my d##k, Snoop Dogg. I see the big dog talking. Snoop, you think you funny? You don’t know what it’s like to fight for your life every damn day.”

Now, all the fans were not riding with big homie.

Some supported Dave, but a lot of people were legit worried about his health. One high profile person said, “This is so sad to see🙏🏽 I pray he gets some help.😞💯.” Others said we, as media, should ignore it completely. “Stop giving this unnecessary attention everyone does not deserve it smh,” a lower profiled person said. At the show, somebody had extreme hate: “I couldn’t even enjoy myself at the show. The personal issues he’s dealing with are too much to digest.” I think they were being funny!

Dave addressed the crowd and, by default, social media.

“I got demons, and a tank to prove it. Don’t come for me when you’ve been blessed enough to be here that long; respect the struggle.”

Online, people were not giving with him. Comments like, “People around him need to tell him the truth. This is not a flex” and “His management just watched him get this big” populate the internet.

“Hospital Bed,” the song he performed, did not get him any favor either.

“Performing about taking drugs at a concert in memory of someone who died from it? Maybe I’m lost,” one fan wrote. Rest in peace, Juice World!

How he address these concerns remains to be seen. I won’t lie…this is my first time being made aware of Dave Blunts. So, all if this could work in his favor. What do think now that you know everything?

In a post he shared on Monday (December 2), the “Money In The Bank” rapper revealed he and his partner Shakira Hardy welcomed a baby boy together late last month.

With the arrival of baby boy Kyrie Richardson, Scrappy has become a father for the fifth time. He shares his eldest child, Emoni Richardson (19), with his former partner Erica Dixon. Additionally, he shares three children, son Breland (6) and daughters Xylo (4) and another Cali (3) with his ex-wife Adiz “Bambi” Benson.

The mother of his latest child, Hardy, is known for her career as a reality TV star and notably appears on the NowThatsTV dating series Pick A Side which is hosted by Scrappy and Khaotic. News of Scrappy and Hardy’s newborn child follows rumors that circulated earlier this year in July that the Atlanta rapper got Nya Ray, another contestant from the show, pregnant during an alleged threesome. Not to mention, Scrappy was shooting his shot at R&B vocalist Summer Walker in September after he revealed he was captivated by her sultry VMAs outfit in a post on Instagram.

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy Gets Small Win: Judge Pressures Prosecutors Over Leaks

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

Sean “Diddy” Combs has won a small but significant step in his fight against alleged leaks to the media, as a federal judge ordered prosecutors to produce a sworn affidavit affirming they are not the source of leaked information.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian issued the directive Monday (December 2), setting a clear December 4 deadline for compliance.

The latest development comes after Diddy’s attorneys accused federal agents and prosecutors of improperly disclosing details to the press.

They argued that the alleged leaks have fueled a wave of prejudicial media coverage, posing a severe threat to the Hip-Hop mogul’s right to a fair trial.

Among the claims leveled by the defense is the accusation that a 2016 surveillance video depicting Diddy attacking a former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, was leaked by individuals tied to the case.

Prosecutors, however, have firmly denied the allegations, calling Diddy’s claims “grasping at straws” in a series of responses submitted to the Court.

They have argued that there is no evidence to suggest improper disclosure of grand jury materials and insist that the 2016 video was sourced outside the federal investigation.

Additionally, prosecutors say concerns over protecting victims and witnesses are paramount, citing the risk of intimidation or tampering as a reason for withholding certain details.

Diddy’s request for an expansive gag order also failed to gain traction with Judge Subramanian, who ruled against the measure on October 25.

While the Court imposed restrictions on the release of grand jury materials and other sensitive information, the judge stopped short of finding any credible evidence of past misconduct by prosecutors.

“With this order in hand, both sides can make sure that anyone involved with this case or the related investigation understands what they are not permitted to disclose,” the judge wrote. “To be clear, this order isn’t based on a finding that there has been any wrongdoing thus far, as the Court has made no findings at this juncture relating to defendant’s allegations that information related to the case has been leaked. The point of this order is to help ensure that nothing happens from now on that would interfere with a fair trial.”

Diddy is locked up at the MDC jail in Brooklyn after being denied bond for a fourth time. His trial is set for May 5, 2025.

Rap Rumors: Silliest Kendrick, Drake & Lil Wayne Chatter Online

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: Rumors

There was a really crazy rumor that was spreading like wildfire across Instagram over the weekend—and it revolved around Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Lil Wayne. It was so silly that I neglected to mention it on the site.

But after so many shares and people sending it to me, I had to do something. I haven’t independently verified yay or nay on this one, but I can basically say this is a big fat “no.” The rumor says that because of the potential, ongoing legal motion by Drake, they may replace Kendrick Lamar with Lil Wayne for the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Now, where do y’all get this from? Some website from India got all the traction on this it really is as ridiculous as it gets. If this happens, I will eat my shoe.

Nevertheless, it continue to populate, direct messages and peoples profile, essentially causing folks to question each other’s intellect. Self included! Anyway, I am 100 percent sure this is fast. First of all, Drake has not even sued yet! It’s just a pre-lawsuit motion.

Secondly, why would we assume that the New Orleans rapper would be immediately fast track to replace Kendrick Lamar? Thirdly, imagine something as big as the Super Bowl being co-opted based on a simple allegation or inquiry? Anyway, I thought you would want to get a good laugh out of this one!

Now, if you were still reading here is something for more interesting. The word on the street, is that J. Prince is the one that put the battery in Drake‘s back! He is reportedly, and rumored to be the person that initiated this massive lawsuit against Universal Music Group. The year 2025 is already gearing up to be nasty work! It’s crazy because these people used to be friends of the Canadian rapper.

Anyway, Drake is actively seeking to renegotiate his deal with the label but more likely trying to find a new home altogether. This could result in a massive payday for all parties involved! Drake is reaching middle age status! His years and Hip-Hop as a pop artist may be coming to an end, if you ask certain people.

Again, this has not been verified or anything like that. It’s just what the streets are saying. But, to be honest, it makes some sense. The massive paydays of old are in the rearview for most artists. Drake is one of the few artists that will be able to Leverage his success into big paydays. They have successfully siphoned off star-like qualities out of the culture and it’s really looking like these are the last mega stars of Hip-Hop.

Thoughts?
