T.I. & Tiny Demand $1K Per Day From Sabrina Peterson Until Debt Is Paid

T.I. and Tiny Harris asked a California judge to hold their former friend Sabrina Peterson in contempt for refusing to pay roughly $96,000 in legal fees. According to court documents the couple is seeking $1,000 per day until Peterson pays the debt in full.

“Despite this court’s repeated orders that [Peterson] pay [T.I. and Tiny] their statutory attorneys’ fees and costs, [Peterson] has continuously and willfully refused to do so,” the couple’s lawyer wrote. “Her blatant noncompliance with the orders not only demonstrates a disregard for the authority of this court but also imposes an unfair and ongoing financial burden on [T.I. and Tiny], who have been forced to expend additional resources to recover the attorney fees to which they are rightfully entitled.”

A judge ordered Peterson to pay $96,703 to cover T.I. and Tiny’s legal fees in October 2023. Peterson sued T.I. and Tiny for defamation, among other claims.

An appeals court dismissed Peterson’s trade libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress and intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage claims. She was allowed to continue suing T.I. and Tiny for defamation and false light invasion of privacy. The couple claimed Peterson filed the lawsuit in hopes of securing a settlement.

“[Peterson] and her attorneys took advantage of the legal system by filing a ‘kitchen sink’ complaint, hoping that the nature of their allegations would attract enough media attention, which would then, in turn, put pressure on [T.I. and Tiny] to settle,” the couple’s attorney argued. “[Peterson] and her lawyers never had any intention of diligently prosecuting this case.”

T.I. and Tiny remained focused on collecting Peterson’s debt despite scoring a huge victory in a separate court case. The couple won $71 million in their lawsuit against toy giant MGA Entertainment in September.

Lil Tjay Bashes “Racist” Adin Ross Over Drug Use Accusations

Lil Tjay called Adin Ross a racist after the popular streamer accused the rapper of abusing Percocet. The multi-platinum-selling artist clashed with Ross via text before their issues spilled over to social media.

“I told Adin he a culture vulture, he told me I’m on percs,” Lil Tjay said. “I don’t take percs. I don’t take drugs. I might sip a little lean now and then, but actually, less than you! F###### racist n####. I look like I take percs ‘cause I’m Black, right?”

Lil Tjay spoke out after Ross shared a screenshot of their texts. The messages included insults directed at Ross and fellow streamer Kai Cenat.

“Dick sucker,” the Bronx native wrote to Ross. “lol you 2. Ima show ya lil n##### sum.”

Ross responded, “You tweakin. Me and Kai always show nothing but love to you. Gotta stop taking them percs that s### f###### w ya head.”

Lil Tjay labeled Ross a culture vulture, claiming the streamer uses people. Ross, an ardent supporter of Donald Trump, ignored a voicemail message from Lil Tjay while focusing on 2024 election coverage.

“I sent him a voicemail about how I feel like he a culture vulture,” Lil Tjay said. “He told me he’s not watching that, he’s watching the election and that I need to stop taking percs. This what he think about n#####. He just grinds his way to the top using that lil’ face card he got and use n#####. Y’all n##### better stay woke. N##### use everybody. They only f### with the top-notch n##### ‘cause they using n#####. Culture vulture.”

Lil Tjay also defended Kodak Black, who concerned fans with his behavior on a recent livestream with Kai Cenat.

“Stop looking at Yak like he’s a weirdo,” Lil Tjay said. “No, sometimes that’s how rappers act. In our society, that’s how we act. That’s how we get. We different from n#####. It’s just the one lane where hood n##### get to make they bread.”

Plies Reacts To 2024 Presidential Election: “Character No Longer Matters” 

Plies is speaking out in the wake of the 2024 presidential election, revealing that support for Donald Trump has shown him that “character no longer matters” when voting for the U.S. President. 

The Florida rapper has been a staunch critic of Donald Trump, calling out his divisive rhetoric and repeatedly questioning how the 34x-convicted felon could be running for office.  

On Wednesday morning (November 6), Plies took to social media with his reaction to the election. He shared a heartfelt message to Kamala Harris supporters, expressing his wish to hug everyone who needed to vent their frustrations.  

“Just because the person that you felt should have won didn’t make it across the finish line, don’t for a second allow yourself to question your beliefs and what it is that you stand for,” he said. “Just because some results didn’t go how you foreseen them to go, it doesn’t mean you wrong about anything.”

Plies then shifted his tone, offering a chilling reflection on what the widespread support for Donald Trump reveals about the state of the nation. 

“One thing this election did teach me,” he added, “is something that he knew and something that I didn’t know. That character no longer matters. That all the dark and divisiveness and all the things he said, he knew people wanted that, I just didn’t think that they did. 

“So this whole notion of ‘America, this is not who we are.’ No. This is exactly who we are.” 

Plies concluded by urging his followers to “stand for the things that you believe in.” 

Like Plies, Cardi B also expressed concerns over a potential second Donald Trump term ahead of the election.  She lashed out at his supporters while on Instagram Live in the wake of the election.  

Cardi B Lashes Out At Donald Trump Supporters: “I Hate Y’all Bad”  

Cardi B gave Donald Trump supporters a tongue-lashing on election night after condemning his campaign during her speech at Kamala Harris’ rally in Wisconsin last week.  

The Grammy Award-winning rapper took to Instagram Live as results streamed in from across the country, with predictions leaning toward Donald Trump.  

Cardi B lent her support to Vice President Kamala Harris after she announced she would address the nation on Wednesday (November 6). 

“No matter what, I know that she’s probably emotional right now,” Cardi began. “I just hope she knows no matter what happens tonight, millions of people are proud of her. I’m proud of her, women around the world are proud of her, women of color are proud of her. 

“Y’all I know how I felt at the beginning of the f###### year. I didn’t want to vote for anybody. She changed my mind, I feel like she was very honest and said the things I wanted to hear.” 

Cardi continued, praising Harris for being “genuine” while reflecting on her short campaign run.

“She only had 100 days to do all of this and she woke this nation up,” the NYC rapper added. “I’m proud of her and I hope she’s proud of herself no matter what happens tonight. This is one of the most unforgettable elections and I love her – and I don’t say I love a lot of people, y’all know that. Because I hate everybody.” 

Cardi B Threatens To Burn MAGA Hats

However, she let her feelings about Donald Trump supporters slip after reading a comment about Trump making history.  

“I swear to God I’m gonna f### you up,” she joked. “Get away from me! I’m sick of you! I’m gonna burn your f###### hats muthafucka!”  

Returning to Harris, Cardi added, “I swear to God I’m really really sad. But, I’m proud.”  

Cardi B added a follow-up post on her Instagram Story, telling Donald Trump voters “I hate yall bad.”

50 Cent Reveals He’s Actually Big Donald Trump Supporter

50 Cent didn’t have a dog in the Presidential race, nor was he concerned with the battle between candidates, but he does care about “leaving with the winner.” 

The G-Unit founder took to Instagram early on Wednesday morning (November 6) to share his thoughts on the election and congratulate Trump. 

“I don’t care how the fight goes,” 50 Cent wrote alongside photos of him and Donald Trump. “I’m leaving with the winner s###. I still don’t know what’s going on [face palm emoji] congratulations!”

50 Cent did not endorse a candidate in the 2024 race and claimed to have turned down millions to perform for Donald Trump. 

During an interview with the “Breakfast Club, ” 50 Cent said the Trump campaign offered him $3 million to perform at the recent Madison Square Garden rally. However, he claimed negotiations went nowhere. 

“I wasn’t talking to them about [endorsing Trump],” he explained. “I’m afraid of politics. I do not like no part of politics. No gangbanging, no politics. It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you.” 

50 Cent also said he avoids discussing religion and politics, joking that Kanye West was exiled after weighing in on those topics. 

“That’s the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan,” he added. “He said something about both of those things and now he can only go to Japan.” 

Meanwhile, the  Trump campaign was widely condemned over racist remarks at the Madison Square Garden rally last weekend.  

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe enraged voters, calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” He also referenced a Black person in the audience, joking, “We carved watermelons together.” 

T.I. & Tiny’s Son King Harris Welcomes First Child, Shares Glimpse Of Baby 

King Harris, the son of ATL rap legend and T.I. R&B songstress Tiny Harris, has welcomed his first child, a little boy. 

The 20-year-old rapper announced the news on Instagram on Tuesday (November 5) alongside a snippet of an unreleased track in honor of his newborn son. He revealed the baby arrived on Tuesday at 8:09 a.m.    

“Now I got a son I got to cool down on that hot s###,” he raps on the track. “ I grew up fighting but nowadays you got to keep a gun/Yeah, you a junior so you know you your daddy’s son.”  

“welcome King Jr,” he captioned the post. “TIME TO TAKEOVER.”

Proud grandmother Tiny congratulated King Harris and his girlfriend, J’Nijah “Nana” Epps on the birth of their child. 

“I got myself a Grandson! U did it TO NANA,” she wrote on her Instagram Story before congratulating the couple. “Big new parents.” 

T.I. first announced the news King Harris was having a child during an interview earlier this year. He revealed he would become a grandfather for the third time, explaining that Domani, 23, had recently welcomed a daughter. Tiny’s daughter, Zonnique Pullins, gave birth to the couple’s first grandchild in December 2020. 

T.I. then joked about King’s tough persona, adding, “I told him I’mma make this the greatest gangsta of all time. I will raise this child to torture you the way you tortured me. I promise you there will be an indictment in this young one.” 

Like King Harris, brother Domani also penned a track reflecting on his newfound fatherhood. He opened up about becoming a parent and expressed his reservations about exposing his baby girl to the world.

50 Cent Claims Dame Dash “Broke For Real” After Sinking To “New Low” 

50 Cent is continuing his recent back and forth with Dame Dash, trolling the Roc-A-Fella co-founder and claiming he has sunk to a “new low.” 

On Tuesday evening (November 5), 50 Cent took to Instagram with a clip of Dash downplaying a recent viral moment where his teeth fell out while on IG Live.  

In the video, Dame Dash insisted that he was “praying” people would talk about the mishap because he was dropping jewels while calling out 50 Cent as his teeth fell out. 

“The internet talked about it and I was really kinda happy,” he said, adding that he can laugh at himself.  

However, 50 Cent used the clip as another excuse to call Dame Dash broke.  

“So let me get this straight,” he began. “@Dame dash you was praying your teeth fell out, so people would talk about it. yeah you broke for real, this is a new low ! keep my name out your mouth, and your teeth in ok ? LOL”

He also shared another clip of Dame earlier this summer, discussing his financial situation. 

“Somebody asked me how I got so broke. Investing in my dreams,” Dame explained. “You know, when you’re investing in your dreams and you dream big, you’re always gonna be broke…or have a lot of s###. But I don’t have no money for nobody else. That’s what you call broke. But that’s what it is.” 

50 Cent captioned the post, “No lies detected what ever you do don’t go out like Dame! LOL.”

Kodak Black Addresses Accusations He Was Popping Pills On Kai Cenat’s Stream 

Kodak Black caused a stir online following his chaotic appearance on Kai Cenat’s livestream earlier this week. 

Black joined the popular Twitch streamer on his “Mafiathon” 2 subathon on Monday (November 5). He behaved erratically throughout the stream and appeared to be under the influence. Fans were even more concerned when Kodak Black seemingly took a Percocet pill during the live broadcast. 

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

When Black hopped on Instagram Live on Tuesday (November 5), concerned followers flooded the comment section, but the rapper dismissed their concerns, blocking anyone who left negative remarks.  

Black admitted taking a Percocet pill on Cenat’s stream but insisted he doesn’t have a problem. He even took another pill while on IG Live, despite fans begging him to go to rehab. 

“I take one perc and y’all be so f###### butthurt,” Black said. “Y’all don’t like a n#### anyway.” 

According to Kodak Black, his critics are either hurt, broke, lacking motion or trying to take advantage of him by offering to help him.  

Later in the stream, Black insisted he was just “vibing” on Cenat’s stream and taking drugs is part of who he is.  

“I’m just Yak, bro. Aint s### changed, that’s how I came in this b####… I wake up like this,” he continued. “If anything, give me drugs. Give me drugs, and I’ll chill. When I’m not high, when I ain’t higher than a b####, I’m vibing. When I’m high, I’m in my coma bruh, I ain’t talking to nobody ‘cuz I’m getting high.” 

He then denied using cocaine before shocking followers by swallowing down a pill. “You know, I’ma take a pill,” he said before taking a white tablet. “GLITCH!” 

Kodak Black has been open about his addiction to Percocet, which at one point saw him popping dozens of pills a day.   

“I was chewing 100 Percs a day, man,” he said in June. “Average like 40. Average! If I was f###### with them fake s####, bruh, I’d have been dead. Bruh, I say that, I’m explaining myself now. I don’t want y’all to hear that and take that and feel like it’s okay to do that s###, ya feel me?” 

Cardi B Calls For “Hail Mary” As Tense Presidential Election Results Loom 

Cardi B was stressing out as the votes came in on election night. 

Late Tuesday evening (November 5), Cardi B took to social media as voting tallies were streaming in. Donald Trump took an early lead in the electoral college, worrying the Kamala Harris-supporting rapper. 

“We need a Hail Mary,” she said. 

Last week, Cardi B made a passionate plea for voters to back the Vice President at Kamala Harris’ rally in Wisconsin. She revealed she had no intention of voting in the Presidential race until Harris joined, and like many Americans, Republican or Democrat voters alike, was feeling anxious on election eve. 

“I don’t know why I’m so nervous for tomorrow,” she wrote. “I feel like I’m running for president.” 

Cardi B, who previously vowed to “never turn Republican,” fiercely condemned Donald Trump at the rally last week.  

She accused him of “selling us bigotry, misogyny, chaos and confusion” and stirring up hate.  

“it’s going to cost you your money, equal opportunity, affordable health care and any rights you thought you had for your body,” she added. “He gon take it from ya.” 

Cardi also blasted the former President over his remarks about protecting women.    

“He said he’s gonna protect women whether they like it or not,” she stated. “Donnie Duck, please… Protection for women, especially if we’re talking about maternal and mental healthcare, isn’t telling them what to do with their bodies, it’s supporting them and giving them the care they need for what they choose to do with their bodies!!!” 

Donald Trump Jr. Claims Kamala Harris’ Celebrity Supporters Are Linked To Diddy “Freak-Offs”

Similar to the remark Elon Musk made last month about Eminem, Donald Trump Jr. has alleged that Vice President Kamala Harris’ celebrity supporters have ties to not only Sean “Diddy” Combs but also Jeffrey Epstein.

During the latest episode of his Rumble network podcast Triggered with Donald Trump Jr., the political commentator didn’t mince his words while accusing the celebrities supporting Vice President Kamala Harris of having ulterior motives.

Trump Jr.’s criticism follows a wave of celebrity endorsements Harris has received from artists such as GloRilla, Cardi B and more in recent weeks. In short, Trump Jr. claimed that Harris’ A-List supporters were either guests at the infamous island owned by Epstein, the deceased wealthy financier-turned-convicted-sex-offender, or attended Diddy’s “Freak Off” parties — which are at the center of his federal indictment on sex trafficking and racketeering crimes.

“Why would anyone, even a liberal celebrity, endorse Kamala Harris?” Trump Jr. questioned.

“The celebrities who aren’t getting paid are getting probably paid in another way. They’re either on an Epstein list or a Diddy party list, or both,” he said.

He pointed to a so-called “magical” timing of recent celebrity endorsements for Democrats as evidence that Diddy’s criminal case is somehow linked.

“We all saw that how magically Diddy gets busted, and all of a sudden everyone’s endorsing the Democrat just out of nowhere, huh?” Trump Jr. said, hinting at a suspicious shift.

In particular, he noted the sudden change among former Trump-supporting celebrities.

“The people that were endorsing Trump … we’re going to go the other way now,” he continued. “I wonder why that is.”

This isn’t the first time a high-profile white male has suggested that Harris and her celebrity supporters have connections to Diddy. Ahead of Eminem’s appearance at the Vice President’s campaign rally in Detroit last month, Tesla CEO Musk claimed the “Slim Shady” rapper was also a “participant” of Diddy’s “Freak Off” parties in a message he shared on Twitter. Musk replied to a thread shared by the account @AutismCapital which disparaged Eminem and described him as a “guy who rapped about killing homosexuals with a chainsaw, chopping his wife in front of his daughter, his disdain of his poor white trash audience and being banged by bisexual p###.”

“Yet another Diddy party participant,” Elon Musk wrote in a tweet in the thread.

However, Twitter users quickly identified much closer, and recent ties between Musk and Diddy than either of the latter, and promptly exposed them in subsequent posts. I wonder if the same will happen to Trump Jr.?

Watch the clip of Trump Jr.’s rant above and check out the fallout from Elon Musk’s remarks in the post below.

Waka Flocka Flame Dragged On Twitter For Not Voting—Despite Donald Trump Endorsement

Waka Flocka Flame has expressed his view that his voice is bigger than the democratic process after a social media user pointed out he has failed to take advantage of his civic duty.

Flocka made the incredulous claim following an influx of messages from Twitter users sparked by a tweet allegedly uncovering the “Hard In Da Paint” rapper’s voting history. More specifically, the lack thereof, considering the user claimed Flocka has never voted, despite being registered to vote.

In addition to sharing screenshots of their proof that Flocka has yet to participate in a general election, the user requested that the Atlanta rapper either hit the polls or “pipe down” when it comes to voicing his opinion about the election.

Waka Flocka Flame, who has remained staunch and consistent in his outspoken support of former President Donald Trump, responded to the user indirectly by seemingly claiming his words speak louder than his actions.

“Keep worry about me not voteN… Y’all mad because i know we second class citizens…. Idgaf but i pay attention to who [sheep emoji]’n… my voice bigger then my vote.. ain’t no punking me!!! Fake Bully’s,” Waka Flocka Flame wrote.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Waka Flocka Flame has seemingly alluded to either his desire to vote or plans to support Trump should he vote in order to preserve his rights on multiple occasions this year even though he hasn’t voted. In January, he asked Trump to abolish Columbus Day and went on to tell supporters of President Joe Biden to leave one of his concerts. Then in August, he claimed his choice to support Trump wasn’t influenced in any way, shape or form.

“Trump still my president he tweeted. “I don’t have to stand with a red hat or dance or stage for money in my pockets.” He insisted he wasn’t pushed into backing Trump, adding, “This is my choice.”

Waka Flocka believes he should be free to express his political opinions without fear of attack. “Like I choose not to eat pork,” he added. “But do that make me hate pork lovers or disrespect their character.”

Waka continued, “I just want my rights. My freedom, equality, men/women to pay for bad policing, women to have rights and make choices for self, teachers to be paid more, and the list goes on but hey I’m just a lil o entertainer with a micro voice I know no1 is listening.”

Akon Laughs Off Hairpiece Jokes, Talks Hit Song “Akon’s Beautiful Day”

Akon will take the jokes about his hair and turn it into hit songs. The mogul opened up about his hair journey in a recent interview, humorously addressing his once-beloved hairpiece. Akon didn’t shy away from the topic.

“Oh, my [hair] was a topic of subject forever. Right. Forever,” he said, chuckling. Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur asked him about “fresh baldy” in a new interview with AllHipHop. Akon explained that it was just part of his evolution. “Bro, it’s nothing not to laugh about,” he said in response to the online trolls he faced.

Akon joked, “I had a lot of dark-skinned guys, you know, jealous of the waves.” He has moved past that era saying, “That was a moment in time when I had a surgery… and I had a piece on my head, which I’m actually about to put up for sale!”

He added, in a surprising twist, that many celebrities people look up to also wear hairpieces, though it’s often kept quiet.

Akon’s lighthearted approach switched when he talked about his new song, which he’s quite serious about.

“Akon’s Beautiful Day” is rapidly rising up the charts. The song has taken TikTok by storm, capturing the top spot as the platform’s most shared and recreated track.

“Just so you understand the magnitude of where we’re at with this song right now,” Akon said, “It’s the No. 1 song on TikTok… the biggest growing song right now. We debuted on the Billboard charts and we’re going to be No. 1 by the time the holidays actually kick in.”

As for his upcoming album, Akon said he will blend old school album greatness with new school innovation.

“The album is gonna be one of those albums I think is gonna change, hopefully, the face of how music is presented,” he explained. “To kinda bring it back to not only the old way of how we used to distribute music, but also create a more futuristic perspective of it and an approach.”

Dr. Dre Calls $10M Lawsuit Racist After Accuser Gets Restraining Order

Dr. Dre asked for the removal of a restraining order after a psychiatrist sued him for harassment. According to court documents, Dr. Dre accused Dr. Charles Sophy of “racist” justifications for the lawsuit and denied threatening the psychiatrist.

Sophy was granted a restraining order in October. Dr. Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, claimed there was no “credible threat of future violence.” He said Sophy was “invoking racist caricature that depicts Black men, like [Dr. Dre], as inherently violent.”

Dr. Dre admitted he sent expletive-laden texts to Sophy, who served as a counselor during the producer’s divorce. Sophy believed he faced real danger.

“Rather than treating the mediation process as an opportunity for healing, [Dr. Dre] decided to take his frustrations about the mediation out on Dr. Sophy — frustrations that manifested themselves in the form of a nearly year-long sustained campaign of late-night texts, threats of intimidation and violence, and homophobic rhetoric,” Sophy’s lawsuit alleged.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Sophy accused Dr. Dre of orchestrating a scheme to have fake FBI agents intimidate the psychiatrist. Sophy said he felt the need to increase his security and wear a bulletproof threat after the incident.

“It was a calculated, unlawful attempt … to threaten his physical safety and send the unmistakable message that [Dr. Dre] can reach Dr. Sophy even in the sanctity of his home,” Sophy’s lawyers wrote.

Howard King, Dr. Dre’s lawyer, described the lawsuit as “desperate.” King said Sophy was trying to deflect from concerns presented to a medical board.

“Dr. Sophy filed his suit only after he failed to pressure [Dr. Dre] into dropping efforts to get Dr. Sophy punished for dereliction of duties and incredible incompetence,” King told TMZ. “These claims are set forth in detail in a confidential complaint Mr. Young filed in 2023 with the Osteopathic Medical Board of California. “That complaint seeks revocation of Dr. Sophy’s license to provide mental health counseling to needy patients. In gross violation of all applicable standards of care, Dr. Sophy inserted himself into a contentious divorce while he simultaneously ‘treated’ not only Mr. and Mrs. Young, but their children.”

Sophy sought $10 million in damages. Dr. Dre asked the court to deny future protective orders.

Nipsey Hussle’s Killer Suffers Critical Legal Defeat

A California appeals court upheld Eric Holder’s conviction for the 2019 murder of Nipsey Hussle. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, a three-judge panel ruled against Holder on Tuesday (November 5).

Holder claimed the trial court abused its discretion when it sustained the prosecution’s objection to his lawyer’s closing arguments in his 2022 trial. California’s Second District Court of Appeal disagreed.

“Nothing in the trial court’s rulings prevented appellant from arguing objective and subjective provocation to the jury or from clearly articulating the defense theory that ‘appellant acted in the heat of passion as a result of being publicly called a snitch’ by ‘the famous, the great Nipsey Hussle,’” the appeals court noted. “The trial court did not abuse its discretion in prohibiting defense counsel from telling the jury what appellant was thinking and feeling at the time of the shooting to explain appellant’s conduct.”

Nipsey’s killer was found guilty of first-degree murder, attempted voluntary manslaughter, assault with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a felon. A judge sentenced Holder to 60 years to life in prison.

Holder said the judge wrongfully included a firearm enhancement in his sentence. The appeals court found no issues with the judge’s decision.

“Contrary to appellant’s claim, the record here affirmatively shows the trial court fully understood and properly exercised its discretion when it declined to dismiss the firearm enhancement,” the three-judge panel ruled. “Highlighting the evidence that appellant used not one, but two guns in his violent attack which killed [Nipsey] and wounded [Kerry] Lathan and [Shermi] Villanueva, the court declared its finding ‘by clear and convincing evidence’ that dismissal of any enhancements in this case ‘would endanger public safety’ … The court emphasized its responsibility to consider and evaluate the mitigation evidence presented by the defense, particularly the evidence of appellant’s history of mental illness, and it indicated that the sentence it was about to pronounce balanced appellant’s mitigating evidence with the devastation appellant had caused to the victims and their families.”

Holder fatally shot Nipsey outside the late rapper’s clothing store in Los Angeles. Nipsey was 33.

Death Row Co-Founder Harry-O Concerned “Breakfast Club” Killed Interview Over Politics

Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry- O” Harris isn’t shy about his support of Donald Trump. On October 28, he spoke at a Trump rally in New York City, where he officially endorsed Trump for reelection.

But according to a recent Instagram post from Harris, he thinks his political views got The Breakfast Club to pull their recent interview.

On Monday (November 4), the reformed drug dealer shared: “I have a lot of respect for @cthagod and @breakfastclubam for what they do for our community. I was invited on for an interview Oct 24th, where I thought we had a thought provoking conversation.

“I am wondering why the interview never went live? Especially when Charlamagne knew that I had challenged both candidates on their political policies which would be part of the interview. Maybe once the politics got deep, there was an uncomfortable realization that the Breakfast Club and Community 1st had too much in common, even though we were on opposite sides of the political spectrum? I believe that through healthy conversation and debate, comes enlightenment and unity.”

Perhaps to his surprise, The Breakfast Club wound up posting it on Tuesday (November 5), mere hours after Harris posted.

A post shared by Michael “Harry-O” Harris (@theofficialharryo)

Harris spent over three decades in prison following his arrest for attempted murder and drug trafficking. Trump granted Harris clemency as one of his last actions as president, freeing him on his last day in office along with Kodak Black and several others.

“If it wasn’t for Donald Trump, I wouldn’t be standing here today,” Harris told the MAGA crowd. “So I wanna thank President Donald Trump for allowing me for stand here in front of you today. It’s a bigger story — gotta let you know about it! God spoke to his heart and Donald Trump signed with his heart my release after 33 years. God spoke to his heart.”

Harris spoke to AllHipHop about the upcoming election last month but was undecided at the time.

“My concern is the community first and whoever supports that,” he explained. “I thanked Trump for letting me out. I done that. You know what I mean? Three years ago, I thanked him for that. I really meant that. I thank God every day for that. But when it comes to the community, I don’t play with that. So it’s about who has the policies or are willing to get behind policies that will affect our daily lives.”

 

Harris provided crucial financial backing to help launch Death Row in the early ’90s, which went on to sign legendary artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur, among others. His involvement helped build the foundation of Death Row, although he didn’t remain an active part of the label due to his incarceration in the early stages of its success.

Harris’s history is complex; he was a former drug dealer and businessman with connections in both the music and entertainment industries. His crimes caught up to him and he was sentenced to a lengthy prison term due to drug trafficking and other charges. During his time in prison, he supported Death Row financially, working through intermediaries, including Suge Knight, to set up the label.

After serving more than three decades in prison, Harris was released in early 2021. Since then, he’s shown interest in making a positive impact, focusing on various business ventures and advocating for criminal justice reform. His influence remains significant, given his legacy with Death Row Records and his broader involvement in the industry.

Did Chief Keef Link-Up Prove Solange Knowles Is Queen Of Cross-Genre Cosigns?

Aside from the notion that Solange Knowles might have a crush on Chief Keef, their recent link up has underscored the reality of how powerful a cosign from the Houston-bred singer can be—and has been for multiple artists over the years.

In case the moment didn’t populate on your timeline over the weekend, Solange surprised Chief Keef following his performance at his recent concert in Los Angeles. Along with the videos of Solange flicking up with Chief Keef and Lil Gnar, a viral clip of her showing love to Sosa over his 2018 Back To The Dead mixtape deep cut “Bestie” has since made its rounds on the web.

Aside from what appears to be some light flirting going on between Solange and Chief Keef, it’s clear from the video that the “Cranes In The Sky” vocalist is a true savant when it comes to her appreciation for the intricacies of musical sub genres such as Chicago’s 2010s drill era.

But we’d be lying if we acted like this is a first for Solange, when in fact, it’s a part of a pattern of distinct behavior for her. In light of the 2024 bingo card foiling link-up, it’s worth noting that Solange has been a major advocate of both underground and up-and-coming mainstream artists for quite some time now. She’s cosigned some of the hottest records and artists to break through the music industry in recent years.

Not only was she an early supporter of Gunna and producer Wheezy’s anthemic “Who You Foolin” track, she also previously gave early cosigns to artists such as the City Girls’ JT and Atlanta rapper SahBabii among others.

Not to mention she created a definitive moment in 2019 upon bringing together Tyler, The Creator and Gucci Mane for “My Skin My Logo.” And of course Solange didn’t put us on to Gucci or Tyler, but who would’ve thought they could sound as good as they did on a track together before her?

In a sense, Solange has seemingly always been there pointing in the direction of a dope artist prior to them making an incredible run. Case in point, Tyler just did almost 300,000 units his first week with Chromakopia, albeit the album itself is truly superb, guess who also contributed to it?

Diddy Sexual Assault Accuser Secures Big Win With New Ruling

A New York judge won’t force an Arizona woman to disclose her identity after she sued Sean “Diddy” for rape. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Judge Vernon Broderick approved the plaintiff’s request to proceed anonymously on Monday (November 4).

The woman identified as Jane Doe accused Diddy of raping her in Las Vegas in 2024. Doe was invited to one of Diddy’s parties by a promoter known as “International Smoove.” She went back to Diddy’s hotel for an afterparty and allegedly lost control of her motor functions after consuming drinks provided by Diddy.

“Plaintiff did as was suggested by Combs and took a few sips of what she thought to be vodka from one of the open bottles, but about 40 minutes after having 1-2 drinks from the Ciroc bottle, Plaintiff began to feel nauseated and dizzy, slowly losing control of her motor functions,” her lawyers wrote. “This occurred at around 8 p.m. in the evening … Plaintiff informed ‘Smoove’ that she did not feel well, and likely would need to leave the party soon. ‘Smoove’ directed her to an empty bedroom in the suite and told her to lie down there until she felt better. He told her not to worry about being disturbed because the door would be locked. The next thing Plaintiff recalls is waking up the following morning feeling very groggy and sore. Her entire body hurt, and it felt difficult to move.”

Her attorneys continued, “As soon as she awoke, she saw Combs in the corner of the room, shirtless and yelling loudly and with animation at someone over the phone. He was the only person in the room with her and it was clear that someone else had been in the bed with her. Out of fear and confusion, Plaintiff remained silent and still until Combs left the room and she heard the front door to the suite close Plaintiff eventually got up and realized she was naked and her general soreness was more aggravated in her genital area. Plaintiff was horrified to realize that she was raped by Combs.”

Doe said she slept for two entire days following the incident. She “struggled with intense emotional pain and mental health issues, feeling disgusted and deeply depressed.” She sought damages for battery and false imprisonment.

Judge Broderick allowed Doe to remain anonymous unlike a different judge handling one of the many “Jane Doe” lawsuits against Diddy. Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ordered a Tennessee woman to reveal herself if she wanted to continue suing Diddy in October.

Diddy remains in jail on racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution charges. His criminal trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025.

JD Vance Bizarrely Claims “Boyz N The Hood” Shaped His Worldview

JD Vance curiously linked his worldview to John Singleton’s classic film Boyz N the Hood on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. The vice presidential candidate, who helped spread a racist conspiracy theory about Haitians eating pets in Ohio, said the movie influenced his brand of populism.

“I watch the movie a ton when I was 8, 9 years old and I didn’t realize how much that movie has had an influence on me until I watched it last night,” Vance told Rogan. “So, Furious Styles [portrayed by Laurence Fishburne], a lot of his stuff about not letting financial institutions buy up all the stuff in your communities – obviously, he’s talking about Black people in L.A. and not white people in rural, small town America – but I was like, ‘Oh! That’s maybe the first place that I ever heard this idea.’ Or he talks about the importance of fatherhood, the importance of – especially young boys – having a father in the home. I got that from Boyz N the Hood! And obviously, it spoke to me when I was a kid because I grew up at the time and I didn’t have much of a relationship with my dad.”

Vance used the movie to attack liberals in a culture war over math.

“[Styles] makes this observation [about] math being racist,” Vance said. “He’s criticizing the SAT for being culturally biased but then he says the only part that isn’t culturally biased is the math. And it’s like, ‘Oh, this is like a Black nationalist in the mid ‘80s.’ ‘Cause that’s kind of the philosophy of this movie. [It’s] what you might call old school Black leftism. This movie in the 1980s is saying something that I wish a lot of white liberals would hear today which is actually math is not racist … You guys are losing your damn minds.”

Boyz N the Hood hit theaters in 1991. The film starred Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Morris Chestnut.

Queen Latifah called on her supporters to vote by detailing why she’s supporting Harris in the presidential race. Latifah called Trump a “comfortable liar” before listing more than a dozen reasons why she’s voting for Harris.

“She supports all women having agency over their bodies and reproductive functions – from wellness care, to abortion, to IVF treatment. I mean, for this, she had me at HELLO!” she wrote. “So, take a hard look at what’s on the table. If you don’t exercise your power, you forfeit your right to complain or have an opinion. VOTE TODAY AND LET’S GO FORWARD!”
