Busta Rhymes Warns Against Rushed Judgments In Diddy Controversy 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Busta Rhymes is reserving judgment when it comes to Sean “Diddy” Combs and believes others should “mind they damn business,” until the truth is uncovered. 

The Hip-Hop icon weighed in on the subject during a recent interview, explaining he cannot speak to the veracity of the shocking allegations as he has never witnessed anything that the Bad Boy Records Boss is accused of. 

However, like Method Man, Busta Rhymes is clear that the scandal surrounding Diddy is not an indictment of Hip-Hop as a whole. “His situation is not a hip-hop situation,” Busta explained during an interview with Extra. “And I also would like for everyone to be mindful of the thirst and the urgency and the need to speak on the situation. I think a lot of times, people don’t realize how insensitive it could be to have opinions on things that you have no understanding of outside of what you’re being told.” 

During an interview last month, Method Man said Diddy’s downfall “has nothing to do with hip-hop…at all.” He added, “I don’t see the correlation whatsoever.” 

Busta Rhymes explained that he prefers to wait for the truth to come to light “because I think understanding is the absence of confusion.” 

Busta Rhymes Says “Justice Needs To Be Served”

However, he held back on offering his opinion on the allegations against Diddy to avoid hurting anybody involved.  

“The one thing that we should take away from what I’m saying is everybody probably need to mind they damn business until the truth is undisputed,” he stated. “At that point, justice needs to be served accordingly for everyone involved.” 

He added, “It’s unfortunate, because I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy, and I’m talking about for the victims and I’m talking about for Diddy. So, I’m gonna leave it there, and I’m gonna mind my business, and hopefully everybody can find it in they hearts to keep they opinion to theyself and just know that everytime you voice an opinion, you might be hurting somebody.” 

Busta Rhymes concluded by saying, “I wasn’t there for none of it” but added, “for the people who were there, let’s think about them first before you think about your own opinion. Put prayers up for them all.” 

Diddy was hit with another deluge of lawsuits Monday (October 21). Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee filed seven lawsuits less than a week after he filed the first six complaints by anonymous claimants. More than 100 other accusers have come forward against Diddy.

Queen Latifah and Missy Elliott have been awarded the National Medals of Arts, the highest honor given to artists by the United States government. 

President Biden honored the Hip-Hop icons at a ceremony at the White House on Monday (October 21).  

The National Medal of Arts is “the highest award given to artists, arts patrons, and groups by the United States Government and honors exemplary individuals and organizations that have advanced the arts in America and offered inspiration to others through their distinguished achievement, support, or patronage.” 

In a social media post after the ceremony, Elliott expressed her gratitude for the honor, reflecting on her grit and determination to push through no matter what.  

“I am HUMBLY GRATEFUL!” she tweeted. “Crying Tears of JOY! Thinking of the days I wasn’t so strong but through FAITH & PRAYER I kept going..I’m SO THANKFUL. @POTUS &  CONGRATULATIONS to the other amazing ppl who was blessed with this honor.” 

Missy Elliott Gives Queen Latifah Her Flowers

Missy Elliott also praised her fellow Hip-Hop trailblazer, Queen Latifah. She thanked her for paving the way and shared several images of them at the National Medals of Arts ceremony. 

“And a BiG CONGRATS to my sis @IAMQUEENLATIFAH who deserve all the bouquets,” Elliott added. “She also was honored  today! Thank you for kicking down doors QUEEN for me & those after you #NationalMedalsofArts @FLOTUS The entire committee .” 

President Biden also recognized the honorees, who, alongside Queen Latifah and Missy Elliott, included Leonardo “Flaco” Jimenez, Herb Ohta Jr., Idina Menzel, and filmmakers Spike Lee and Steven Spielberg, among others.

“You are inspiring as individuals and truly extraordinary as a group,” Biden said. “The newest recipients of the National Medals of Arts and Humanities have broken barriers, blazed new trails, and redefined culture. They are truth-tellers, bridge-builders, and change-seekers. And above all they are masters of their crafts who have made us a better America.” 

Wale Gives GloRilla Her Flowers As Album Eyes Top 10 Debut

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: News

Wale took a moment to recognize GloRilla as she celebrated the success of her debut album GLORIOUS.

On Monday (October 21), the former Maybach Music Group (MMG) lyricist dedicated a few choice characters in a tweet to the “Let Her Cook” rapper who he feels is currently illuminating the rap game. To preface Wale’s comments, it’s worth noting that GloRilla’s debut album, released under Yo Gotti’s Create Music Group (CMG) imprint, earned a top ten debut on the Billboard 200 chart after accumulating more than 77 million on-demand streams in its first tracking week.

Coincidentally enough, Wale decided to share his thoughts on Big Glo’s LP while also co-signing her as a “light” and comparing the album to a particularly storied release from his early discography.

“Glorilla project remind me of ambition album,” Wale wrote in part before adding, “That girl is a light in the game right now.”

In addition to graciously thanking Wale for his kind words, GloRilla also took a moment to give herself her own props, writing in a follow-up tweet, “STOP PLAYING WIT DAT GIRL.”

There’s certainly cause for GloRilla’s celebration, considering GLORIOUS represents a major milestone for the Memphis-bred rapper. According to ChartData, GloRilla’s album moved 69,000 first-week units, which translates to 12,000 pure sales and an appearance at the No. 5 slot on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. This serves as her first Top 10 appearance on the chart after her 2022 project Anyways, Life’s Great... project peaked at No. 11 and her Ehhthang Ehhthang release reached No. 18 on the chart earlier this year. GloRilla now has two Billboard Top 10 chart appearances, with the inclusion of her and Cardi B’s “Tomorrow 2” single, which peaked at No. 9 on the Hot 100 Chart in 2022.

“S/O to God, my fans & supporter & my team!!!! Thank yall,” GloRilla wrote in a tweet celebrating er latest career milestone.

In contrast, Wale’s Ambition album, which was released in 2011 during the peak of his time under the fold at Maybach Music Group, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart after selling 164,000 copies in its first week. While GloRilla’s album has spawned successful singles such as “TGIF” Wale captured the attention of the entire industry with his album’s#### single “Lotus Flower Bomb” featuring Miguel, and the album eventually earned a Gold certification from the RIAA in June 2013 after selling over 500,000 copies.

GloRilla definitely has some bragging rights over Wale, though, considering she just received the ultimate vote of confidence from Rihanna, who said she would enlist Big Glo to handle the Fenty theme song if she had the chance.

ATL Jacob Accused Of Shading Cardi B—Again—Over Billboard Latin Music Awards Win

ATL Jacob has been accused of exacerbating his ongoing feud with Cardi B after celebrating his latest award. Both ATL Jacob and Cardi B engaged in a fiery back-and-forth on Twitter after the “Tomorrow 2” rapper accused the “Wait For You” producer of shading her in a tweet amid her cheating scandal with estranged husband Offset playing out over social media.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Fast forward to present day, the producer has drawn renewed criticism from fans after celebrating his newest accolade following the Billboard Latin Music Awards, where he took home the prize after competing in the Crossover Artist of the Year category.

“Just Won my first Billboard Latin Award Gracias,” ATL Jacob wrote in a tweet accompanied by a screenshot of the Billboard article featuring the nominees he faced off against.

Seemingly putting his followers on notice that he wasn’t done making waves just yet, he added in a follow-up tweet, “I’m just doing side missions fr … bout to get back to the Main story tho.”

In addition to facing legacy act such as renowned DJs Marshmello and Tiësto, ATL Jacob prevailed over his artist competitors, which included afrobeat sensation Rema and none other than his social media nemesis, Cardi B. As expected, fans immediately zeroed in on Cardi’s name, and attributed ATL Jacob’s celebration of the feat as a veiled swipe at the New York native.

“Messy boots,” one user wrote in the thread, to which another user replied, “Congratulation!!!! Winning over the haters name!!”

The quoted replies to ATL Jacob’s tweet reaction were just as flagrant, if not more inflammatory than the replies in the thread, and saw users comparing him to Cardi’s formidable foe Nicki Minaj.

“He is just as shady as nicki lmfao,” one user wrote.

In another quoted reaction, a user accused ATL Jacob af attempting to do more than just get his get-back on Cardi B, writing, “his gay messy a## wants round two.”

While it’s unclear whether or not ATL Jacob meant any shade in sharing the tweet, he has made it clear that there are no issues with Cardi B, at least on his end.

In a candid interview with Baller Alert, ATL Jacob set the record straight regarding accusations that he shaded Cardi B on Twitter (X) amid her and Offset’s ongoing cheating scandal and looming divorce. The producer emphatically denied any negative intentions behind his quoted reply of a scenario referencing Cardi’s alleged infidelity to Offset while she was pregnant in a tweet he shared that quoted Future’s lyrics.

“I don’t shade her, I never shaded her for one,” ATL Jacob clarified. “Your husband [Offset], well now ex or whatever y’all going through, that’s my boy. So why would I shade you?”

The producer made it clear that he valued his friendship with Offset and had no interest in creating tension between himself and Cardi B. He continued, “At the end of the day, you his BM no matter what. Y’all relationship gonna always be up and down.”

Is Kanye West An Absentee Father?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

Last week, there were rumors that Kanye West wanted to relocated his children with Kim Kardashian to Tokyo, Japan. I am not sure how that can be possible since he shares custody of the kids. Well, that may be the issue. Sources connected to his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, suggest that Ye is already not very involved in his children’s lives.

Kim Kardashian is handling most of the parenting on her own, per a source over at People magazine. A presumed source close to the 44-year-old reality star shared that her main focus North, 11, Chicago, 6, Saint, 8, and Psalm, 5. DAYUM! Kim is “basically a single mom,” because Kanye West is not around.

Kim does the majority of the parenting. They said Kim has plenty help, but she still struggles with it. She struggles as much as an insanely rich person can. The report says everything revolves around the kids. She works until they get home, they say. On another tip, she’s single and is prioritizing her career and motherhood instead.

I don’t know. This could be the slandering of a Black man, the truth told about a deadbeat bum or a combination of both. I do think Kanye has the ability to move around without judgment, which does not mean you do not have to be a father to your seeds.

YSL Member Mounk Tounk Blames His Eight Children For Plea Deal; Gets Probation Revoked

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Former YSL co-defendant Antonio Sledge, aka Mounk Tounk, had his five years of probation revoked after a Fulton County judge ruled that he violated a 2022 plea agreement by providing dishonest testimony in court.

The decision comes following allegations from prosecutors that Sledge deliberately contradicted his original statements, throwing a wrench into ongoing court proceedings tied to his case.

Sledge, who struck a plea deal last year that required him to cooperate with the state’s case and confirm 16 specific factual assertions, is accused of failing to uphold his end of the bargain during testimony given in September.

Instead of fully corroborating the timeline and circumstances surrounding the 2015 murder of Donovan Thomas—a central event in the prosecution’s case—Sledge repeatedly claimed, “I don’t recall,” in reference to key details he’d agreed to speak on.

The discrepancies didn’t sit well with the court.

“Even if we entirely disregard item number eight of the factual acknowledgments,” the judge said during the hearing, “there are still many other ones that the state is relying upon. I don’t see how you get around the rest of it. One thing was sworn to in open court on December 28, 2022, and then something diametrically opposite was sworn to under oath on September 5.”

Sledge has defended his behavior by citing personal stress at the time of his initial decision to accept the plea deal.

He told the court that his mother was sick and faced with financial hardship and the responsibility of caring for his eight children; he felt pushed into accepting terms that included 15 years of probation.

Prosecutors, taking issue with Sledge’s dishonesty on the stand, have now requested that he receive the maximum prison sentence permitted, signaling a hardline approach to enforcing plea agreements.

Donovan Thomas, known by the nickname “Big Nutt,” was killed outside an Atlanta barbershop in 2015 in what authorities allege was the work of YSL members, including rapper Young Thug.

The murder considered a pivotal event, reportedly inflamed tensions between the rival YSL and YFN gangs and contributed to a chain of violent retaliations in the Atlanta area.

Tyler, the Creator’s newest video from his upcoming album CHROMAKOPIA will have fans globally talking for quite some time. The visuals for “NOID” kick off with Tyler strolling down a busy street, bumping into passersby along the way. Soon, there’s The Bear star Ayo Edebiri, as a deranged fan screaming his name. Suddenly, the obsessed fan’s phone suddenly into a gun, and mania ensues.

“NOID” samples a Zambian rock band from the 70s called Nizakupanga Ngzo by the Ngozi family and Paul Ngozi.

Edebiri and Tyler worked together on Netflix’s Big Mouth and are now friends. “NOID” is the latest track from Tyler’s upcoming album CHROMAKOPIA. Last week, he announced the album and released the first single, “St. Chroma” with Daniel Caesar. Tyler wrote, produced, and arranged every song on his seventh solo album. CHROMAKOPIA is slated for release on October 28.

Ralo Compares His Legacy In The Streets To “Black Mafia Family” Co-Founder Big Meech

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Ralo has once again generated headlines based on a bold video he shared on social media in light of recent news surrounding Black Mafia Family (BMF) founder Big Meech.

In a video the Atlanta rapper shared on Instagram, Ralo compared his street legacy to that of BMF co-founder Big Meech, emphasizing his belief that the lore of their hustle made a major impact in the streets.

In addition to claiming that he and Meech did it “the biggest” Ralo claims he was the first of his age to reach the heights that he did while he was still actively hustling.

“Listen, I’m not discrediting none of the big homies for what they did in these streets and how much money n###a made — me and Meech, we did the biggest, we made that sht look good,” Ralo said.

“We put that s##t in they face. We made them folk come get up with us. N###a ain’t fun having all that money if you can’t put it in a n###a’s face. Now y’all going to tell me that n###as popped that harder than me and me. That’s cap.”

As he continued, Ralo backed up his initial decry by remarking on how he and Meech flaunted their wealth and style in the streets at the height of their criminal activity.

“I was the first young n###a in the city of Atlanta with a Lamborghini at such a young age,” he said.

“Bought this whole community, had tons and tons of money on planes and jets and s##t.”

Ralo confidently claimed that he and Meech were on a different level compared to their predecessors, dismissing the old-school style of other well-known figures such as “Freeway” Rick Ross.

“So look, I ain’t discrediting no n###a, I ain’t been cocky or nothong, but man me and Meech we did it the big we had fun n###a,” he said.

“Them other n###as, them n##### didn’t even know how to dress. Like stop playing. Like talking about Rick Ross.”

He added, “They had them big, ugly, loud church suits on.”

Ralo’s latest comments about Big Meech follow the advice he offered the Detroit native that the streets are dead and to find a legitimate hustle now that he’s eyeing his official release from custody in 2025. Big Meech was recently transferred from FCI Coleman Low prison to a community confinement center overseen by Miami Residential Reentry Management Office.

His projected release date is January 27, 2026 and reports have revealed he’ll be placed on supervised release for five years once his time is served there. While both Ralo and Big Meech made headlines for their criminal activities, their perspective cases and outcomes are drastically different. Big Meech was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2008 for his role in running the BMF drug empire. Ralo was convicted of marijuana trafficking in 2018 and was promptly sentenced to eight years in federal prison.

FBG Duck’s Mother Reacts To Lil Durk’s Tribute Following Explosive Lawsuit

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Lil Durk paid tribute to the late FBG Duck and others at a concert in Chicago on Sunday (October 20). FBG Duck’s mother Lasheena Weekly questioned the motives on Monday (October 21).

“IMA NEED YALL TO HASHTAG #DUCKDIDITFIRST n REPOST THIS PIC IF U THINK THAT S### NOT CAP,” she wrote on Instagram.

Weekly and two shooting victims sued Lil Durk, his OTF label, King Von’s estate and more on October 9. The lawsuit implicated Lil Durk in FBG Duck’s 2020 murder.

“Lil Durk and [his brother] DThang as corporate officers of OTF knew King Von placed a $100,000.00 bounty to kill FBG Duck and actively participated to have FBG Duck killed and/or to cover up the killing of FBG Duck,” the lawsuit alleged.

The wrongful death lawsuit claimed Lil Durk and his label OTF “knew of King Von’s murders, batteries, assaults, robberies and criminal conduct prior to signing King Von to OTF.” King Von “intended to use OTF to commit robberies and/or murders of other musical artists and to further the activities of O-Block and the Black Disciple’s street gang,” per the complaint. Lil Durk allegedly participated in and was presented for assaults, batteries and robberies committed by King Von.

Weekly accused her son’s killers of acting on the orders of Lil Durk and King Von, who died in 2020. The lawsuit said OTF and other record labels “monetized” FBG Duck’s murder.

“UMG/Interscope, Sony/Alamo, OTF [and] Empire salivated in the profit garnered by the depiction and eventual killing of FBG Duck,” Weekly’s lawyers argued. “So much so that Lil Durk, an international artist, celebrated through music the demise of FBG Duck, which UMG/Interscope, Sony/Alamo, OTF [and] Empire marketed, promoted for profit furthering the activities of the O-block criminal enterprise.”

FBG Duck was shot 16 times outside a store in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. Six gang members were convicted for their roles in FBG Duck’s murder in January.

Polo G was arrested for felony possession of a concealed weapon in San Fernando Valley, California on Saturday (October 19). He remains in custody at the Van Nuys Jail, per Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department records.

According to TMZ, authorities busted Polo G for gun possession during a traffic stop. He was pulled over for speeding. Officers found a loaded pistol while searching his vehicle.

Polo G, whose real name is Taurus Bartlett, was previously arrested on gun charges in April. Cops apprehended him after a maid found a gun in his New York hotel. He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and possession of a loaded firearm.

The Columbia Records artist’s October 19 arrest wasn’t the first time he landed in a California jail. Last year, he was booked for possession of a short-barreled rifle following a raid of his Los Angeles area home. His lawyer claimed he was illegally detained.

Polo G’s latest legal woes may threaten his Hood Poet Tour if he can’t secure his release from jail. His tour is scheduled to begin in Denver on Thursday (October 24). Shows are booked through the end of the month and much of November.

Diddy’s Legal Team Demands Gag Order To Stop Character Assassination

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Sean “Diddy” Combs requested a gag order to stop his alleged victims’ attorneys from speaking about his criminal case. The incarcerated mogul’s lawyers sought to prevent “further prejudicing” of his right to a fair trial, per court documents obtained by AllHipHop.

“As the Court is aware, Mr. Combs has been the target of an unending stream of allegations by prospective witnesses and their counsel in the press,” his attorneys argued. “These prospective witnesses and their lawyers have made numerous inflammatory extrajudicial statements aimed at assassinating Mr. Combs’ character in the press. Witnesses’ lawyers have also vouched for the credibility and character of their clients and opined on the potential evidence.”

Diddy’s legal team accused other lawyers of making “shockingly prejudicial and false allegations” regarding sexual assault and abuse of minors. His attorneys urgently demanded a judge’s help, seeking a response by October 30.

“These lawyers have done the government’s work for them, repeatedly vouching for the government and commenting on the strength of the government’s case,” Diddy’s counsel contended. “These lawyers are – by their own admission – in communication with the government about their clients acting as potential witnesses. As counsel for witnesses in this case, these lawyers are prohibited from making statements under Local Rule 23.1. Moreover, because these statements undoubtedly threaten Mr. Combs’s right to a fair trial and no other remedies exist, this Court should exercise its discretion in issuing an order requiring all potential witnesses and their counsel to refrain from making extrajudicial statements that have a substantial likelihood to interfere with Mr. Combs’ trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice.”

Diddy wanted his alleged victims’ lawyers to remove any online postings of the allegations under their control. He asked prosecutors to disclose if they directed or authorized extrajudicial statements.

The Bad Boy Records founder awaits trial for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution charges. He maintains his innocence.

“Black Comedy In America” Celebrates Kid Capri’s Impact On “Def Comedy Jam”

VICE TV’s Black Comedy in America explores the impact of Def Comedy Jam in a new episode premiering on Tuesday (October 22). AllHipHop gives readers a preview of the show with an exclusive clip focusing on Kid Capri’s role in Def Comedy Jam.

“What that turned into was having the hipness at a comedy show,” comedian Joe Torry said. “Having a concert and a comedy show at the same time. And that’s what Kid Capri was … He opened up with 15-20 minutes of just rocking tracks. Wherever he went, he was a concert all by himself. And [he] was an artist. What Kid Capri does is why DJs make money now. I think Kid Capri put DJs on the map as far as being universal, getting paid as much as they want.”

Joe Torry’s brother and fellow comic Guy Torry noted how Kid Capri’s skills forced Def Comedy Jam performers to be at their best.

“You don’t know the fullness of Kid Capri until you’ve been to one of his shows outside of a Def [Comedy] Jam show,” Guy Torry said. “Kid Capri is electric. His voice, his energy, that New York swag, that Brooklyn swag. And the thing about it is doing the tour, the Def Comedy Jam tour, you got 5,000 people in there, man. And the way he would get them hyped before a show, it almost made you afraid to go out there.”

VICE’s Black Comedy in America debuted on October 15. The first episode tackled the Original Kings of Comedy.

“This collection of comedians and their stories presents an expansive, yet intimate look at the setbacks, triumphs and cultural inroads blazed by the most incredible comedians the world has ever known” said VICE Media’s President of Global TV. “We are glad to do our part in shining a light on these legends with a project that is both ambitious and historical.”

VICE’s Black Comedy in America is hosted by Tiffany Haddish, Ryan Davis and Chris Spencer. The Def Comedy Jam episode airs Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Donald Trump Sued By Exonerated Five For “Extreme & Outrageous” Debate Claims

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

The Exonerated Five – also known as the Central Park Five – sued Donald Trump for defamation, false light and intentional infliction of emotional distress on Monday (October 21). The wrongfully convicted men pursued legal action after Trump lied about their infamous case in a presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Harris mentioned Trump’s past statements about the Exonerated Five at their September debate. Trump responded by saying Yusef Salaam, Antonio Brown, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise pleaded guilty to crimes connected to the 1989 attack and rape of a woman in New York. Trump also claimed a Central Park assault victim was killed.

“Defendant Trump’s statements were false and defamatory in numerous respects,” the Exonerated Five’s lawyers argued. “Plaintiffs never pled guilty to the Central Park assaults. Plaintiffs all pled not guilty and maintained their innocence throughout their trial and incarceration, as well as after they were released from prison. None of the victims of the Central Park assaults were killed … Defendant Trump also omitted key facts, further rendering his statements false, misleading and defamatory. These include, among other things, the fact that the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office later acknowledged that the teens’ confessions were unreliable and conflicted with the objective evidence; that four of the five were acquitted of attempted murder; that all five men’s convictions were later vacated; that the true perpetrator, Matias Reyes, confessed; that DNA evidence confirmed that Reyes was the true perpetrator; and that the City of New York ultimately agreed to pay $41 million for its conduct toward Plaintiffs.”

The Exonerated Five said Trump’s remarks were negligent “with knowledge of their falsity and/or with reckless disregard for their falsity.” The lawsuit accused Trump of not apologizing for his “extreme and outrageous” statements when confronted by Salaam.

“After the debate, Defendant Trump passed through the post-debate ‘spin room ‘fielding questions from attendees,” attorneys noted. “As Defendant Trump approached Plaintiff Salaam, other attendees asked Defendant Trump, ‘Will you apologize to the Exonerated Five?’ and ‘Sir, what do you say to a member of the Central Park Five, sir?’ When Defendant Trump did not respond, Plaintiff Salaam said, ‘President Trump, I’m Yusef Salaam, one of the Exonerated Five. How are you doing’ Defendant Trump responded, ‘Ah, you’re on my side then.’ Plaintiff Salaam then said, ‘No, no, no, I’m not on your side.’ Defendant Trump proceeded to wave his hand at Plaintiff Salaam, smile and walk away. Plaintiff Salaam was attempting to politely dialogue with Defendant Trump about the false and defamatory statements that Defendant Trump had made about Plaintiffs less than an hour earlier, but Defendant Trump refused to engage with him in dialogue.”

More than 30 years ago, Trump called for the Exonerated Five to face the death penalty. To this day, he has refused to admit he was wrong about them despite their exoneration.

“This is just another frivolous, election interference lawsuit filed by desperate left-wing activists in an attempt to distract the American people from Kamala Harris’s dangerously liberal agenda and failing campaign,” Trump’s campaign spokesperson said. “The frantic lawfare efforts by Lyin’ Kamala’s allies to interfere in the election are going nowhere and President Trump is dominating as he marches to a historic win for the American people on November 5.”

The Exonerated Five sought undisclosed damages. Their 1989 case was covered extensively in Ken Burns’ documentary The Central Park Five.

New Deluge Of Diddy Lawsuits: All Of The Sordid Details

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of raping seven more victims in new lawsuits, which have been obtained by AllHipHop.com.

Diddy has been hit with a second batch of sexual assault lawsuits.

As AllHipHop reported earlier this morning, one of the lawsuits alleges he drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl.

He is accused of drugging the 13-year-old girl in 2000, allegedly raping a woman in Las Vegas in 2014, a man in 2022, and the alleged rape of a woman in 2022.

Two Jane Does claim they were introduced to Diddy by an associate, “International Smoove,” who invited them to a party in 2014 Las Vegas during Memorial Day Weekend.

The women claimed they made it to a party with celebrities like Nicki Minaj, Mary J. Blige, and Lil Kim.

After this party, they went to an afterparty at Diddy’s suite at Planet Hollywood Hotel, where they had some drinks from the bar area in his room.

The woman claims she felt sick and was told to lie down in another bedroom until she felt better. The woman eventually passed out.

When she woke up, Diddy was in the corner of the room with no shirt on, yelling at someone on the phone. She claims she realized her genitals were sore and realized she had been raped, allegedly by Diddy.

A celebrity fitness trainer man claims he was introduced to Diddy by a fashion designer who shared his workout regimen with the Bad Boy founder.

In June of 2022, John Doe claims he was invited to a party at Diddy’s residence in the Hollywood Hills, where he was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement upon entrance.

The man claims that he was forced to drink tequila before he was granted entrance to the party, which turned out to be an infamous “freak-off party.”

The man says he was led to a smaller room where several celebrities were engaged in group sex. At the same time, the man claims he became disoriented.

At that moment, Diddy allegedly pulled the man’s pants down and began performing oral sex on him.

“Combs then directed Plaintiff to perform oral sex on another individual in the room, known as Celebrity A. Due to the haze of the drug he had been clandestinely served, Plaintiff could not resist Combs’ coercion and ordering. He felt trapped inside of his own body – unable to control it or understand what was happening around him. As a result, Plaintiff was forced to perform nonconsensual oral sex onto Celebrity A. After Celebrity A finished, this individual spit into Plaintiff’s mouth,” according to the John Doe.

He added several celebrities took advantage of him while he was disoriented and “essentially passed Plaintiff’s drugged body around like a party favor for their sexual enjoyment.”

Another John Doe is a businessman from Los Angeles whose family rents cars and luxury jewelry. He claims he met Diddy, who often rented cars and jewelry for himself and his entourage.

John Doe says he attended a promotional party for Ciroc with several high-profile guests.

The man says a drunk Diddy invited him inside of his personal office and that is when the disgraced mogul allegedly exposed himself.

John Doe claims Diddy thrust himself at him and grabbed his genitals through his pants in a rough manner. The man says a well-known professional athlete ended up coming into the room and stopping what he felt would be a sexual assault.

The woman claimed that in December of 2022, she was at an elegant, celebrity-filled party hosted by Diddy in New York.

She claims that during the evening, she drank a glass of wine. Diddy then allegedly approached her about her career and expressed an interest in putting her on a song.

The woman claims Diddy invited her into the office inside of the home and at some point, she lost control of her body and eventually consciousness.

The woman claims Diddy proceeded to rape her. When she finally came to, Jane Doe claimed she “discovered blood on her legs from her vaginal area, and bruising on her lips. She also found deep imprints on her arms and wrists, suggesting she had been tied with ropes.”

Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee filed the lawsuits less than a week after he filed the first six lawsuits by anonymous claimants. More than 100 other potential victims have come forward.

Combs was arrested last month in Manhattan after a probe into alleged sex trafficking, and he is accused of drugging and raping victims as young as nine.

Combs is accused of aggravated sexual assault, sexual abuse and sexual exploitation in the seven lawsuits by four male and three female plaintiffs.

Buzbee has warned Combs can expect a deluge of lawsuits that will not stop any time soon.

“We expect to be filing cases weekly naming Mr Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings,” he said.

Kendrick Lamar Reveals “Not Like Us” Embodies “The Type Of Man I Represent”

Kendrick Lamar is opening up about his epic Drake diss “Not Like Us” in a rare interview with SZA, revealing that the song embodies who he truly is as a man.

While the song that arguably ended his battle with the OVO boss spawned many a think piece with debates about exactly who “Us” refers to and what it means to not be like them, K. Dot hasn’t addressed the subject until now.

He shed light on the meaning behind the song during a recent interview with SZA for Harper’s Bazaar.  

“Not like us is the energy of who I am, the type of man I represent,” he replied. “Now, if you identify with the man that I represent …” 

When SZA asked him to elaborate, Lamar continued, “This man has morals, he has values, he believes in something, he stands on something. He’s not pandering.” 

Dot added, “He’s a man who can recognize his mistakes and not be afraid to share the mistakes and can dig deep down into fear-based ideologies or experiences to be able to express them without feeling like he’s less of a man. If I’m thinking of “Not Like Us,” I’m thinking of me and whoever identifies with that.” 

Kendrick Lamar had an interesting response when SZA asked if the “surge of energy” felt in “Not Like Us” was rooted in anger.  

“I don’t believe I’m an angry person,” Lamar asserted. “But I do believe in love and war, and I believe they both need to exist. And my awareness of that allows me to react to things but not identify with them as who I am. Just allowing them to exist and allowing them to flow through me. That’s what I believe.”

Mustard On Possibility Of Kendrick Lamar Performing “Not Like Us” At Super Bowl 2025

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar is gearing up to headline the Halftime Show at Super Bowl 2025.  

“Not Like Us” producer DJ Mustard recently revealed what it would mean to him if Kendrick Lamar were to perform the song at the Big Game. 

“I might shed a tear,” he said during a Billboard interview. “I am grateful for him to perform it on stage. If he performs it on stage by himself, doesn’t call me, I wouldn’t give a s###. Just perform it.” 

David Banner Explains Why He’s Doing Better Than Ever & How He Plans To Keep It That Way

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Exclusives

David Banner has had a lengthy tenure in Hip-Hop, but his personal and professional growth will take him above and beyond if all goes according to plan.

Over the past few years, he’s undergone intense self-reflection and transformation to emerge as his highest self to date. He’s overcome mental challenge, distanced himself from negative influences and found inspiration from Method Man for his physical fitness.

But Banner’s real passion today is acting. In a recent interview with AllHipHop, he talked about his role in the Peacock series “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist,” his admiration for fellow actors and the camaraderie on set.

AllHipHop: Mr. David Banner, how are you, sir?

David Banner: I’m probably in the best place I’ve been in 10 or 15 years.

AllHipHop: That’s incredible to hear! How did you get to this point, especially during such turbulent times?

David Banner: In the last two years, especially starting from about four months ago, I faced some of the toughest challenges of my life. I’ll be honest with you because I trust what you and your team do at AllHipHop. I went through things I never thought I’d make it through, mentally. And what’s crazy is, for the first time, it wasn’t about money. I believe God put me through something where money wasn’t the issue so I could focus on myself.

Believe it or not, a good friend of mine really helped me during this time. I called him one night, telling him I couldn’t sleep. He said, “Banner, I couldn’t sleep either when I went through it, but the one constant in all of this is you—you’ve got to change yourself.” That conversation sparked a deep dive into me. I looked at who I had around me and got rid of about 85% of the “bloodsuckers” in my life. Some of these people were good, but they weren’t ready for the next level I was heading toward.

Once I separated myself from that negative energy and got my spirit right, I stopped blaming others and started holding myself accountable. I wrote down my personal critiques and started addressing them. I even got back in the gym, like Method Man did, and transformed my body. Besides speed, I’m stronger, more agile, and more balanced than I’ve ever been. My dream is to be doing superhero and sci-fi movies full-time within the next two years. In fact, in my last movie, I played a god! Asking the universe for things, doing the work, and watching them come to fruition has been life-changing for me.

AllHipHop: That’s deep. Now let’s talk about “Fight Night” and your role as Slim. I love the monologue you sent me—it feels like this character was made for you.

David Banner: Thanks, man. I’ve had people tell me I deserve an award for this role. To be honest, I never thought anything could make me feel the way Hip-Hop does, but acting has done that for me. My goal now is to become one of the best actors in the world and to represent Hip-Hop in a way that hasn’t been done before in acting.

AllHipHop: That’s powerful. What was it like working with this star-studded cast, especially having so many Black men on set?

David Banner: It was incredible. There was a real sense of family on set, which is rare. The chemistry among the cast was unbelievable. Terrence Howard, for instance, has this incredible ability to convey both love and danger in the same look. And Taraji P. Henson is a force—she will take over a scene if you’re not on your A-game. She’s fierce, man. I’ve never seen anyone, male or female, command a scene like her.

AllHipHop: I was also thinking about the historical backdrop of “Fight Night,” with Muhammad Ali as a reference. Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong era, given your values and the way you view culture?

David Banner: Nah, man. God put me exactly where I’m supposed to be. But what’s funny is that a lot of the language in “Fight Night” is how I talk with my people anyway, so it felt natural. There’s a deeper story in this film about how Atlanta was shaped by hustlers and underworld figures—people who don’t get the credit they deserve for helping build the Black Mecca that Atlanta is today.

AllHipHop: Absolutely. Before we wrap up, give me your top five favorite actors—the ones who inspire you the most.

David Banner: Number one has to be Samuel L. Jackson. I owe so much to him. He didn’t have to help me, but he did. He gave me advice when I was at a low point, struggling with alcohol and depression. That’s why I work so hard—I want to prove to him that he didn’t waste his time on me.

I’d also mention Idris Elba—he gave me some great advice early on. Method Man too—watching him excel in this new phase of his career reminded me that I could do the same. Then there’s Terrence Howard, who has an unmatched presence on set. And finally, 50 Cent—I’m proud of how he’s transitioned into a businessman and actor, putting his ego aside for the bigger picture. He’s doing some incredible things for the culture.

AllHipHop: Man, I appreciate your time. Continued success, brother.

David Banner: Thank you, and thank AllHipHop for always supporting me. If you need me, I’m here.

Boosie Badazz’s daughter Poison Ivi is calling out her father’s hypocrisy over his recent remarks about her sexuality. 

Iviona Hatch, who goes by the name Poison Ivi, is opening up about her relationship with her father after he said he doesn’t want her girlfriend around for fear their relationship would “contaminate” his other children. 

However, during a recent appearance on “The Danza Project” Poison Ivi said that Boosie keeps his remarks to himself when she brings her girlfriend around. She also claimed she was at one of his recent topless pool parties where, despite Boosie’s homophobic views, women being intimate with each other was commonplace.  

“I ain’t know it was a problem till you went on ‘Caresha Please,’” she explained. “I didn’t know it was a problem, we was just right there and girls eating each other out. But I’m contamination? You know what I’m saying, like he just be talking and I got so fed up with the s### to where I’mma talk too.”

Poison Ivi also revealed she turned to her faith to cope with tensions with her father, revealing prayer had made her stronger but admitted that the situation brought her to tears. She claimed she cried for “a year or two straight,” because she felt “like I’m not enough.” 

It’s progress,” she added. “It don’t hurt any less but I know that I can’t just be sobbing around.” 

Last month, Poison Ivi shed tears as she addressed her father’s “Caresha Please” appearance. He publicly apologized, pleaded for her forgiveness in a series of Instagram posts, and shared Ivi’s freestyle for Real Boston Richey #HelpMe challenge. 

Poison Ivi Believes Boosie Could Have Been More Supportive Of Her Rap Career

While she’s doing what she can herself and wouldn’t want to rely on her famous father regardless, Poison Ivi believes Boosie could have been more supportive of her music career. 

“I feel like him being who he is, it’s a lot more that he could have done for me with this music and with rapping,” she explained. “And not just because I’m his daughter, because I’m actually hard. I ain’t just saying it’s because he my dad and I’m saying this because I can actually rap.” 

Diddy Allegedly Drugged Raped 13-Year-Old As Two Celebs Watched, According To New Lawsuit 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly been hit by a lawsuit from an accuser who claims the Bad Boy Records boss drugged and raped her at a party when she was only 13 years old. 

The suit, one of seven filed on Sunday night (October 20), by attorney Tony Buzbee alleges the assault took place at an afterparty Diddy hosted for the MTV Video Music Awards, according to court documents obtained by The Mirror US. 

The lawsuit alleged the teen turned up to the VMAs at Radio City Music Hall in New York City but didn’t have a ticket. Nonetheless, she was determined to get into the event and began approaching limo drivers, including one who worked for Diddy. The driver allegedly told her the mogul “liked younger girls,” said she “fit what Diddy was looking for” and told her to return at 10 p.m. when he would take her to the afterparty. 

Upon arrival at the bash, the alleged victim claims she was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement but never received a copy, according to the suit.  

“Plaintiff observed widespread drug use, including marijuana and cocaine,” the complaint states. “Plaintiff accepted a drink, a reddish-yellow mixture that tasted like orange juice, cranberry juice, and something bitter.” 

After consuming the drink, the accuser claims she began feeling “woozy and lightheaded” and entered what she believed to be an empty bedroom so she could lie down for a moment. She did not lock the door.” 

The complaint continued, alleging Diddy entered the room a short time later with a male and female celebrity before he “aggressively approached Plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her, and said, ‘You are ready to party.'”  

The girl claims Diddy tossed her at the male celeb, referred to in the documents as Celebrity A, who allegedly “removed Plaintiff’s clothes as she grew more and more disoriented.” 

According to the lawsuit, the alleged victim was “held down by Celebrity A who vaginally raped her while Combs and Celebrity B, a female, watched.”  

The complaint continued: “After the male celebrity finished, Combs then vaginally raped Plaintiff while the Celebrity A and Celebrity B watched. Combs attempted to force Plaintiff to perform oral sex on him, but she resisted by hitting Combs in the neck; he stopped.” 

The girl claims she took her clothes and wandered around the house naked while searching for an exit. She claims she only got dressed once she was outside the property. 

“Eventually, Plaintiff reached a gas station,” the filing stated. “A female clerk noticed her distress and allowed her to use the phone. Plaintiff called her father, admitted that she had lied about her whereabouts, and asked him to pick her up.” 

The alleged victim “fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life.”  

Buzbee’s law firm reportedly represents over 150 clients suing the Bad Boy Records boss.

Diddy’s lawyers denied the allegations.   

“The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity,” they said last week. “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.”  

Diddy was indicted for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution in September. He denies the allegations and remains in jail awaiting trial, slated to begin in May 2025. An appeals court will hear arguments in his bid for bail on November 4.   

A$AP Rocky & His Attorney Set To Buy British Soccer Club

A$AP Rocky is reportedly venturing into the sports industry, joining his criminal lawyer Joe Tacopina in a bid to take over a British soccer club. 

The rapper and the celebrity attorney are set to buy into English Football League Two club Tranmere Rovers, according to British tabloid The Sun. A$AP Rocky and Tacopina are said to be part of an investment group set to buy 80 percent of the club for around $20 million. 

A source told the outlet that A$AP Rocky had “committed to the Tranmere bid” and plans to visit the club to watch a soccer match, possibly with Rihanna in tow.  

“Joe has been to Tranmere matches and Rocky has plans to go over too after the deal is completed,” the insider claimed. “We may even see Rihanna watching League Two football.” 

A$AP Rocky To Stand Trial Over Alleged Shooting

Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky and his lawyer will be joining forces in a bid to beat his court case, slated to begin on Monday, October 21.  

The rapper is facing trial after pleading not guilty to two counts of assault involving a semi-automatic firearm. Rocky is accused of shooting at his former friend and collaborator A$AP Relli outside a Hollywood hotel in November 2021.  

The shooting is said to have followed an argument during which Rocky allegedly pointed and fired a gun at Relli. 

During a preliminary hearing, footage of the incident confirmed a scuffle took place. However, the shooting was not captured clearly on the recording. 

According to Relli’s witness testimony, during the incident, Rocky allegedly stated, “I’ll kill you right now,” before shooting at him. The bullet grazed Relli’s hand, and he alleges Rocky fired two or three more shots before fleeing. 

“We’re not disappointed, not surprised, we expected to go to trial, we’ve been planning for trial all along,” Tacopina said after a hearing last November. “Rocky is going to be vindicated when all this is said and done, without question.”
