GloRilla May Have Just Gotten Response From Crush Damian Lillard

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

GloRilla could be one step closer to sitting in a tree doing you know what with her NBA crush.

After shooting her shot at the Bucks point guard during the NBA All-Star Game festivities last month, Lillard recently acknowledged her advances. During his latest run with TMZ, the Oakland native appeared to keep it cool when pressured to speak on whether he and GloRilla were in contact. In fact, he directly dodged the question, replying, “No comment, my brother” when asked if he or she had reached out. He did, however, seem very cordial torward the Create Music Group (CMG) signee, saying with a laugh, “Man, shoutout to GloRilla.”

On the other hand, it appears GloRilla is still hard at work attempting to attract Lillard’s attention on her own. On March 9, she shared a pair of photos on Twitter, showcasing her assets accompanied by a tweet that read, “All she do is shoot.”

What do y’all think? Is it almost “Dame Time” for Big Glo or nah?

Jackboy Arrested By Gang Intelligence Detectives In Florida

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Detectives busted Jackboy on drug and weapons charges in Florida on Tuesday (March 12). The Port St. Lucie Police Department said members of its gang intelligence unit arrested him after searching his vehicle during a traffic stop.

Police identified Jackboy as a “documented gang member.” He was charged with possession of a firearm by a gang-related felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, two counts of marijuana possession of over 20 grams, marijuana possession under 20 grams, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a suspended license and violating a court order related to a domestic violence injunction.

Detectives discovered a Glock 19 handgun, which was loaded with an extended magazine, in Jackboy’s vehicle. Police also found High Potency Disposable Vape Pen Runtz, a Marijuanitas grape drink and a Yurple Drizzle Goblin, which tested positive for marijuana residue. Two empty weed packages, a container with 2.5 grams of marijuana and a rolling tray were collected in the search.

Jackboy, whose real name is Pierre Delince, remained in custody at St. Lucie County Jail. He was held without bond.

The 26-year-old rapper was arrested several weeks after his feud with Kodak Black led to multiple arrests in Florida. Last month, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office apprehended 13 people in connection to a January 2023 drive-by shooting. A 31-year-old woman named Princess Tolliver was killed in the shooting. Five of her friends were injured.

Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma said the victims were caught in the crossfire of a shooting linked to Jackboy and Kodak Black’s beef. According to Sheriff Lemma, Jackboy was the intended target. The shooters allegedly believed he was in one of the vehicles, resulting in the murder of an innocent woman.

Kodak Black faced no charges for the shooting. No evidence directly tied him to the deadly incident.

Diddy & Lil Rod Deny Reaching Settlement In Bombshell Lawsuit

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

No settlement was reached in producer Lil Rod’s shocking lawsuit against Diddy on Wednesday (March 13). According to TMZ, both sides refuted any notion of a deal between the two. Claims of a settlement stemmed from a clerical error, which incorrectly listed an alleged agreement in court records.

“Minute Entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Andrew E. Krause: Settlement Conference held on 3/13/2024,” the entry read. “Parties appeared by video. Settlement reached. Defendants will provide an initial draft of a proposed settlement agreement by March 20, 2024. Plaintiffs will file the proposed infant compromise order with Judge Karas by April 19, 2024.”

The filing has since been removed from public records. The judges mentioned in the entry were not involved in Diddy’s ongoing civil dispute. Judge J. Paul Oetken presided over the case.

Lil Rod, whose real name is Rodney Jones, sued Diddy in February. Jones accused Diddy of sexual harassment and assault, among other allegations.

The lawsuit added to an already substantial list of sexual assault allegations against Diddy. The Hip-Hop mogul’s ex-girlfriend Cassie kicked off a string of lawsuits when she sued him for rape and years of abuse in November 2023. Diddy quickly settled with Cassie out of court, but more lawsuits were filed later that month.

Liza Gardner and Joie Dickerson-Neal sued Diddy after Cassie’s settlement, accusing him of sexually assaulting them in the ‘90s. Gardner filed an amended complaint on Tuesday (March 12). The update said she was only 16 years old at the time of the alleged assault. Singer Aaron Hall was implicated in Gardner’s lawsuit.

A woman identified as Jane Doe also sued Diddy for rape and sex trafficking. The plaintiff said she was 17 years old when Diddy, former Bad Boy Records president Harve Pierre and an unnamed man gang-raped her in 2003. Diddy denied the allegations.

Eminem Recruits Big Sean, J.I.D & More For Cameo-Heavy “Doomsday Pt. 2” Video

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Eminem dropped the music video for his song “Doomsday Pt. 2” on Wednesday (March 13). Several rappers made cameos in the video, making fans wonder if Slim Shady had plans to record music with the artists.

The “Doomsday Pt. 2” video featured Big Sean, J.I.D, Denzel Curry, Teezo Touchdown, Cordae, BabyTron and Swae Lee. It was directed by Cole Bennett, who released the video on Lyrical Lemonade’s YouTube channel.

“Doomsday Pt. 2” appeared on the Lyrical Lemonade compilation All Is Yellow, which dropped in January. The track reignited Eminem’s longstanding beef with Benzino.

“What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe/Go at his neck, how the f### is that?/How can I go at something he doesn’t have/Arms so short he can’t even touch his hands/When they’re above his head doing jumping jacks/Sorry, I don’t mean to upset you Ben/When I talk about all the debt you in/I hear that you been creeping on the low/In them cheap hotels that they catch you in,” Eminem rapped.

He continued, “Jesus Christ, dog, when you said 210/Never guessed you meant at the Red Roof Inn/In a room with one single bed, two men/Shady, man, you can’t, yes, you can/Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day/But this doesn’t bring me no joy to say/Guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, ay.”

Benzino responded with two diss tracks: “Vulturius” and “Rap Elvis.” Benzino threatened to release another diss if Eminem didn’t respond.

“I’m going to go down in history as the Eminem slayer,” Benzino declared. “But right now, it’s f### Eminem. I stand on everything I said. I stand on everything I’ve been saying. And ‘Rap Elvis’ destroyed him. I’m still waiting on the response. If he don’t, I’m gonna drop another one.”

Gilbert Arenas & Nick Young’s F####### Claims Rain On NBA Star’s Baby Shower Parade

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

As if Draya Michele (39) and her a scrutinized romance with Houston Rockets’ rising star Jalen Green (22) wasn’t shocking enough, former NBA players Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young have revealed a bombshell about the reality TV star.

With reports circulating that Michele is carrying Green’s child, Arenas and Young recently spoke on the subject during Gil’s podcast. During their discussion, the pair appeared to layout a scandalous incident involving Michele from years ago. In fact, Young hinted at witnessing some eyebrow-raising behavior involving Michele and Arenas himself, leaving fans speculating about the steamy extracurricular details of the alleged occurrence.

“I was shocked too,” Young said in part. “That day when I was riding home with Philly. I don’t know if I can tell that story or if you want me to tell that story?”

Arenas interjected, “She’s a mother now, I can’t do that,” before Young added. “That day changed my life. That day was when Swaggy P was like okay this is what the NBA is about,” Young teased.

And if that wasn’t enough to set tongues wagging, Young dropped another bombshell, insinuating that he caught Arenas engaged in some “head-turning” behavior with each other while riding in a car together.

“I am riding in the car and you was in the back seat, I turned my head and this n###a was huh,” Young said before questioning Arenas, “What were you doing in that back seat Gil?”

While Young’s claims lack concrete evidence, the mere mention of Michele’s name in connection to this sensational story has sent shockwaves through the celebrity gossip mill due to Draya Michele’s past relationships.

Known for her stint on Basketball Wives LA, Michele has been romantically linked to pop sensation Chris Brown and Arenas was rumored to be the father of her 21-year-old son, Kniko Howard Jr., until Michele revealed his biological father in 2016. Michele also has two children from a previous relationship and an ex-fiancé, who graced the NFL field.

On the flip side, there appears to be no mention from Green regarding Arenas’ claims nor his alleged love child with Michele.

TikTok Ban Bill Passes In House As Pressure Mounts For Parent Company

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

The House of Representatives passed a bill that would ban TikTok if the app’s parent company doesn’t sell it on Wednesday (March 13). House members believed China-based company ByteDance represented a security threat. The legislation aimed to force ByteDance to divest TikTok within roughly six months.

House members passed the bill with a vote of 352 to 65. 50 Democrats and 15 Republicans opposed the legislation. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was among the politicians who voted against the bill.

“I’m voting NO on the TikTok forced sale bill,” she wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “This bill was incredibly rushed, from committee to vote in 4 days, with little explanation. There are serious antitrust and privacy questions here, and any national security concerns should be laid out to the public prior to a vote.”

The bill moved to the Senate where it faced an uncertain future. TikTok urged the Senate to reject the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.

“This process was secret and the bill was jammed through for one reason: it’s a ban,” a TikTok spokesperson said. “We are hopeful that the Senate will consider the facts, listen to their constituents and realize the impact on the economy, 7 million small businesses and the 170 million Americans who use our service.”

Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher claimed the bill was not a ban despites its potential impact. If the bill became a law, app store operators would be outlawed from making TikTok available for download under ByteDance’s ownership.

“It puts the choice squarely in the hands of TikTok to sever their relationship with the Chinese Communist Party,” Gallagher said, per CNN. “As long as ByteDance no longer owns the company, TikTok can continue to survive.”

President Joe Biden said he would sign the bill into law if it reached his desk. The legislation would allow the president to identify social media apps as national security threats if the platforms were “subject to the control of a foreign adversary.”

50 Cent Expands “Power” Universe: “You Asked, I Answered”

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

50 Cent announced a new spin-off in the Power franchise on Wednesday (March 13). The G-Unit boss began developing a show titled Power Origins, which will follow younger versions of the popular characters Ghost and Tommy.

“You asked, I answered,” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram. “Young Ghost and Tommy coming your way. Power Origins now in development.”

Power fans rejoiced in the comments of 50 Cent’s post. Power Origins was revealed days after Lionsgate Television signed Gary Lennon, one of the Power franchise’s producers and showrunners, to a new deal in hopes of expanding the Power universe. STARZ CEO Jeff Hirsch admitted the network sought more spin-offs to replace hit shows at a Deutsche Bank media conference on Tuesday (March 12).

“When seasons go from one to two to three to four [seasons], three to four is where the cost really pops because most of the actors get bigger raises, and you have to really manage that,” Hirsch said. “So, you have to have in your portfolio of development shows that can actually replace shows as they get into later seasons.”

Hirsch cited Power’s spin-offs as the perfect example of finding ways to cut costs while maintaining the franchise’s audience.

“You look at the [Power] map and say, ‘Okay, if I take one of those characters out and spin one of those out, I can bring that on to replace the Power show at half the cost,’” Hirsch said. “Now I’m putting a lot of money right to the bottom line. And I’m really not losing anything in terms of acquisition costs and subscriber viewership, because we know what those demos want. And we know how to line those up. And so that’s really the core of getting to that 20 percent [margin] — turning that slate over with fresh content to drive the business.”

Power premiered on STARZ in 2014 and ran for six seasons. The show spawned three spin-offs, which remain on STARZ’s current lineup.

Kanye West Putting “All Chips” In On Daughter North West’s Album, According To Justin Laboy

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Many fans of Kanye West are patiently waiting for his 10-year-old daughter, North West, to drop her debut album. Ye confidant Justin Laboy spoke about North’s move to becoming a professional recording artist.

“She already got a hit. She might have the best song already on Vultures 1,” Justin Laboy told TMZ. “I know she’s going to be on Vultures 2 again and that album’s gonna be a classic.”

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, collectively known as ¥$, released their collaborative album Vultures 1 on February 10. North West provided vocals to the Vultures 1 track “Talking” and appeared in the song’s music video.

During a recent live Vultures 1 listening session in Phoenix, North West announced she is working on her Elementary School Dropout project. The title serves as an homage to her father’s classic 2004 album The College Dropout.

“Everybody’s excited,” Justin Laboy stated about North’s pending studio LP. “Ye’s putting everything, all chips in on her – production, the best engineers. I think she’s got it. Plus, she just naturally loves it.”

Laboy went on to say that North West creates ten freestyles a day. Additionally, the social media personality claimed Kanye West’s oldest child recruited her friends to the studio to record parts for her upcoming music.

Cam’ron Gets In Hot Water With Mike Tyson!

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

YO! Cam’ron has been doing his thing in media. Shout out to Ma$e, but do we really want beef with Mike Tyson? How did we get here? Nobody wants to be here! Apparently, Cam had something to say about Mike’s looming fight with Jake Paul. And, well, Mike did not like what he said. Cam said that if the fight goes too far, Jake Paul will win the fight. Ma$e said he FaceTimed him from the airport and Mike was in the background. He said he was going to call back but never did. By the way, Cam missed that episode of the show. You gotta watch what you say! In the video below, it starts around the 47-second mark.

Let us be clear: these dudes are friends. I think.

Mike and Cam’s friendship has been a thing in the media over the years. They have been seen together and have shown mutual respect. Mike was in the video for the song “Get ‘Em Girls” (one of my favorite songs from the Harlem OG) in 2004. They seemed to have developed a genuine bond, so I do not think anything will happen. While they may not be seen together in recent years (until this airport fiasco), their friendship is going to survive, I believe.

Also, this happened back in the day (over 20 years ago):

Hitmaka Reveals Diddy Took “Naughty” Song From Boosie Badazz To Give To Christian Combs

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Hitmaka has become one of the standout music producers of the last decade. Apparently, one of his beats originally meant for Boosie Badazz ended up with Christian Combs (aka King Combs), thanks to Christian’s father Diddy (aka Puff Daddy).

“I’ve done records for Boosie. Christian Combs had a record called ‘Naughty’ with Jeremih. I had just started working with Atlantic Records at that time and actually Boosie had that record first,” Hitmaka (fka Yung Berg) told SiriusXM’s Superstar Jay.

Hitmaka continued, “No disrespect, respectfully to Christian, because we got a bunch of other records that went crazy too. I love Boosie’s version more. Puff called [Atlantic Records executive] Craig Kallman and was like, ‘No, I need that record.’ This was when I first started working at Atlantic and Craig called me like, ‘What did you do to Diddy?'”

King Combs’s “Naughty” featuring Jeremih came out in 2019. The song has racked up more than 10 million Spotify streams. In addition, the official “Naughty” music video amassed over 1.8 million views on YouTube.

“Look, Boosie had that record first. Christian wanted that record. Jeremih gave it to Christian. We recorded the record with Boosie first at Jeremih’s house. I was excited about it. I’m like, ‘This is a hit.’ Boosie was going crazy, snapped on it,” Hitmaka recalled.

The “Sexy Can I” rapper also added, “Puff called Craig Kallman. Craig Kallman called me like, ‘Berg, Christian, what is going on? Why is Sean Combs calling me?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know what’s going on.’ It ended up being Christian’s record.” 

 

Ayesha Curry Expresses Being “Dumbfounded” By Drake’s Lyrics About Her

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

“How I’m supposed to wife it? You not Ayesha enough,” Drake raps on his Certified Lover Boy track “Race My Mind.” That reference to television personality Ayesha Curry got a response from Steph Curry’s wife.

Ayesha Curry recently appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen late-night talk show. A virtual viewer asked Curry about Drake’s “Race My Mind” lyrics.

“I think I was dumbfounded,” Ayesha Curry responded. “That’s our family, so I think I was appreciative that they respect me so much that they feel l’m a great wife. I was appreciative.”

Both Ayesha Curry and Steph Curry have been name-dropped in several rap songs. For example, Cardi B mentioned the celebrity couple in her Top 20, 4x-platinum single “Be Careful.”

Drake also compared himself to four-time NBA champion Steph Curry on “0 to 100 / The Catch Up.” In 2023, Curry listed Drizzy’s track and Cardi’s “Be Careful” as two of his favorite songs that have bars about him.

Ayesha Curry stopped by Watch What Happens Live to promote the upcoming Netflix romantic comedy Irish Wish. In addition to Curry, the movie’s cast includes Lindsay Lohan, Ed Speleers, Alexander Vlahos, Elizabeth Tan and Jane Seymour.

Drake Seeks Removal From Astroworld Lawsuit Citing Zero Involvement In Planning  

By: London JennnCategory: News

Drake wants his name removed from the multiple lawsuits stemming from the Astroworld tragedy in 2021. 

His legal team filed a motion on Friday (March 8) arguing that while the Toronto megastar performed at the festival, he had no say in planning or running the event, per Billboard. 

“Mr. Graham did not receive any security briefings, was not informed of any crowd control issues, injuries or deaths in the crowd, or any stop show orders at any time either before or during his 14-minute performance,” the motion reads.  

In addition, Drake’s attorneys state that festival organizers “confirmed under oath that Mr. Graham was not involved in any planning.” They also note that despite “hundreds of hours” of depositions and “hundreds of thousands of pages of documents” in the case, no evidence points to Drake being liable. 

Last November, Drake was reportedly deposed for several hours over the disaster, which claimed 10 lives and resulted in hundreds more injured. However, his deposition is reportedly subject to a “rigid publicity order,” and the contents are confidential. 

Drake addressed the tragic turn of events shortly after the incident, writing, “My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering. I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in any way I can, May God be with you all.” 

Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed in the case, with the victims seeking billions in damages. While Drake is named in the Astroworld litigation, the suits primarily target Travis Scott, Live Nation and its subsidiary Scoremore and Apple, which livestreamed the event. 

Bizz The Prince and Philly Freeway Heat up the Streets with “King K0ng And Godz1lla”

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

Hip Hop phenom Bizz the Prince is a head strong rapper from New Jersey determined to leave an impact on the music game. He’s one of the most prolific and talented rappers to emerge from the New Jersey music scene. His music is colossal and cinematic. He combines an immense amount of raw talent and amazing showmanship.

The incredibly gifted, multi-talented lyricist has honed a refreshing style that combines street tales with wisdom and food for thought. There is an undercurrent of realness and authenticity in his voice. Bizz the Prince is on a mission to heat up the streets and the charts with his latest single entitled “King K0ng And Godz1lla” featuring Philadelphia Rap star Philly Freeway. DJs are already raving about the song. The cinematic single drops March 8th on all digital stores via Dominion Hill Records. 

Bizz and Freeway collaborations are nothing new, Freeway was credited on two records from Bizz’s debut album “We Shine” produced by Wu- Tang Clan’s 4th Disciple and “Ringtone”. They also collabed on the Freeway single “Hustlers Prayer” and multiple freestyles. In a recent interview Bizz teased the new single for 2024 and provided little to no details of the release, but the Jersey rapper did hint to the relationship he had with Freeway over the years and the appreciation and love he has for the Philly rapper.

“We met Free through Shabazz the O.G a decade back,” says Rhasun of Dominion Hill Records. Free was coming off the success he had with hit records like “What We Do” and “1-900 Hustler” from the Roc – A – Fella dynasty. Freeway put Bizz under his wing. I’ve never been the type of brother to front like something is what it’s not, I give Shabazz the credit for bridging the connection and managing the situation. Free was influential in Bizz’s career. The brothers spent a lot of time in the studio and touring during that time. It was movie” raves Rhasun.

In 2023, after the formation of Dominion Hill Records, Bizz dropped two singles including “New Jerz Anthem” and “Im About It”. Bizz discussed how the singles he dropped in 2023 were to reintroduce himself as stated in the lyrics from “I’m About It.” Until 2023, Bizz’s last official release was a cinematic EP featuring Inspectah Deck of the Wu-Tang Clan. 

  “I been doing a lot / instrumentals be my time to vent / they said that I’m back but I never left / If this is your first-time hearing Bizz you will not regret”. Bars from the single “Im About it”. 

The Jersey rapper announced on his Instagram in late 2021 that he was finishing up his last album and moving on to different ventures. In the summer of 2023, Bizz got a call from Rhasun announcing he had launched the Dominion Hill brand and secured distribution via Equity/Roc Nation.  The Prince of Jersey went back in the booth and dropped two singles which had a major impact on Jersey Hip Hop in 2023-24.

Drake Seemingly Responds To Kanye West With Help From 50 Cent 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Drake has seemingly responded after Kanye West aimed at Drake during a recent profanity-laced rant where he targeted the OVO honcho among his other adversaries. 

Ye took to Instagram earlier this week (March 11), sharing a diatribe against his foes while promoting his upcoming Vultures 2 album. After he targeted everyone from fashion houses to international media outlets, he settled on Drizzy. 

“It’s f### Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out,” he stated. “I’ll come back to yall if I think of more f### you’s.” 

West referenced the Chicago rapper joining Drake and J. Cole at spot dates on the It’s All A Blur – Big As The What tour. Lil Durk features on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures title track. The song initially arrived on streaming platforms without Durkio’s verse, although he later appeared on some versions.  

Meanwhile, it appears Drake caught wind of Kanye West’s rant, according to a Tuesday night (March 12) Instagram Story. 

The Toronto superstar used 50 Cent to do the talking, sharing a famous meme of the G-Unit boss.   

“F###, T.I., f### Nelly, F### 50,” the Hip-Hop and entertainment mogul says in the viral clip. “I’m like what he say f### me for?” 

Meanwhile, in other Ye news, the Yeezy founder has fired YesJulz from his Vultures rollout. He shared a post on his Story accusing the social media influencer of “unauthorized” activity.  

“We have decided to no longer have YesJulz involved in the role out of Vultures,” Ye declared. “All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized.”  

According to an alleged email from Yeezy chief of staff, YesJulz owes $7.7 million in NDA violations.  

Kanye West Fires YesJulz Over “Unauthorized” Activity, Allegedly Owes $7.7M For NDA Violation 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West unceremoniously announced he had fired influencer YesJulz via Instagram hours after she was promoting his upcoming album on social media. 

The embattled rapper claimed she would no longer work on the Vultures rollout due to “unauthorized” activity. 

“We have decided to no longer have YesJulz involved in the role out of Vultures,” Ye shared on his Instagram Story in a since-deleted post on Tuesday (March 12). “All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized.” 

In addition, an email allegedly from Ye’s “chief of staff,” Milo Yiannopoulos, has surfaced online. The letter claims YesJulz incurred NDA violation penalties of over $7 million. 

“Fines incurred to date as a result of your NDA violations come to $7.7m,” the note, addressed to YesJulz by her real name Julieanna Goddard, reads. “While you were a contractor, I suspended enforcement of this debt. It now falls due.” 

According to the email, JesJulz is subject to additional fines if she continues violating the agreement.  

Another document, also purportedly from Yiannopoulos written on YEEZY headed paper, addressed to “Dear Julieanna,” curtly informs YesJulz of the news.  

“Obviously, you are fired,” the one-sentence email states.   

Kanye West did not specify what exactly led to YesJulz’s termination, although he indicated that all her recent Yeezy work was unsanctioned.

In the last few days, she’s been promoting Vultures merch on her Instagram page. She also hosted a Spaces with fans on X, which led to scamming accusations. 

Diddy Rape Accuser Says She Was 16 When Mogul & Aaron Hall Took Turns Assaulting Her

By: London JennnCategory: News

A woman who alleged Diddy and Aaron Hall took turns raping her in the early 1990s has revealed she was aged just 16 years old at the time of the alleged assaults. 

The alleged victim filed an amendment complaint Tuesday (March 12), per NBC News, after initially filing a lawsuit on the eve of the expiration of New York’s Adult Survivors Act (November 23). The act allowed adult survivors of sexual abuse to file claims otherwise barred by the statute of limitations.   

In the new filing, Liza Gardner, who went by the pseudonym Jane Doe in the initial suit, claims she was 16 years old and too young to drink or consent to sex at the time of the alleged assaults. She also said members of R&B group Jodeci introduced her to Diddy. According to Gardner, she was good friends with the group members. They invited her to New York, where she met Diddy and Aaron Hall. 

In her lawsuit, Gardener claimed she met Diddy and Hall at an industry event in NYC. She said the duo was “very flirtatious and handsy,” with her and her friend. Gardner also claimed Diddy and Hall were “offering them drinks throughout the night.”   

Gardener and her friend accepted an invitation to Hall’s apartment after the event. Once there, she claims Combs “coerced” her into having sex with him. 

The suit continues, “After Combs finished doing his business, Jane Doe laid in bed, shocked and traumatized. As she was in the process of getting dressed, Hall barged into the room, pinned her down and forced Jane Doe to have sex with him.”    

Gardner claims she fled after the alleged rapes. Her friend later stated she was allegedly “forced to have sex with Combs and Hall in another room.”  

Gardener said Diddy came to the home where she and her friend were staying days after the alleged assaults. She claimed the Hip-Hop mogul became “irate” and “began assaulting and choking” Gardener “to the point that she passed out.”

In addition to Gardener’s suit, Diddy is fighting multiple sexual assault accusations. His ex-partner, Cassie Ventura, accused him of sexual and physical abuse, and drugging, raping and sex trafficking her to multiple male prostitutes. Diddy denied the claims, and the former couple settled within 24 hours.   

He also faces assault allegations from multiple women and a male former employee. Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones recently filed a $30 million lawsuit claiming Diddy groped and assaulted him.
