Diddy’s Children Defend Father From “False Narratives” Amid Latest Shocking Allegations 

The children of Sean “Diddy” Combs are speaking out in support of their father, calling out “conspiracy theories, and false narratives” about the incarcerated mogul. 

In a social media post on Tuesday morning (October 22), the Combs siblings expressed their anguish in the weeks following Diddy’s arrest. 

“The past month has devastated our family,” they began. “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media.” 

However, the Combs children are “united” in their support of Diddy and believe the truth will prevail. 

“We stand united, supporting you every step of the way,” the post continued. “We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family.”

They concluded, “WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.” 

The statement was from Six of Diddy’s seven children, all of whom supported their father at his latest court appearance. Quincy Brown, 33, Justin Combs, 30, Christian Combs, 26, Chance Combs, 18, and twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs, 17, were seen walking into court alongside their grandmother Janice Combs. 

Diddy Seeks Gag Order

The Combs siblings’ statement arrived as Diddy’s legal team sought a gag order to stop his alleged victims’ attorneys from speaking about his criminal case. 

“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.” 

The Bad Boy Records founder denies the allegations. He awaits trial for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution charges.  

Cardi B Vows To Sue Cops, CPS Over False Child Abuse Allegations

Cardi B is furious after cops and Child Protective Services turned up at her house late at night to investigate allegations of child abuse following a call from a “prankster.” 

Furthermore, the NYC rapper vowed to hire celebrity attorney Drew Findling to sue the authorities and the person responsible for sending them to her home. 

Despite being so sick that she was struggling to breathe properly, Cardi B hopped on Instagram Live Monday (October 21), warning there will be hell to pay over the child abuse allegations.  

“Y’all muthafuckas have taken s### too f###### far,” she began. “When you mess with my f###### kids, I swear to you I’m going to get to the f###### bottom bottom of it, okay.” 

The rant continued, with Cardi B revealing someone had placed an anonymous call to CPS.  

“For Child Protective services to come to my f###### house-not my house, my gated Mansion at 11:00 p.m. while my childrens are sleeping because there’s an anonymous call that my kids have been getting abused and beaten. Are you f###### dumb?” she added. 

Cardi B Intends To Sue Cops, CPS & Anonymous Caller

After noting, “We are the only colored people in my neighborhood,” Cardi B threatened to take legal action.  

“I promise you this. I’m gonna sue Child Protective Services for f###### coming to my house at whatever the f### time it comes,” she stated. “I’m also going to sue the person that did this anonymous call. And soon as I wake up in the morning, I’m calling Drew Findling because I’m going to get to the bottom of this. I’mma hire the best private investigator in the whole f###### country because y’all take joking and y’all take s### a little too far.” 

Cardi B then warned not to play with her and “ex-husband” Offset insisting they’re great parents.   

“We don’t play that s###,” she said. “My kids live great. My kids have never been touched, never got hit. No matter how annoying they are, I never hit my kids.” 

Shyne Insists He Was “Set Up To Be The Fall Guy” In 1999 Nightclub Shooting Diddy Cleared Of

Former rapper Shyne is set to open up about the infamous New York nightclub shooting that changed his life in a new Hulu documentary The Honorable Shyne

The former Bad Boy artist-turned-politician maintains his innocence over the 1999 shooting that saw him spend nearly 10 years of his life behind bars. Both Diddy and Shyne were arrested following the incident, but Diddy was acquitted of all charges. In the trailer for the new documentary, Shyne declares, “I was absolutely set up to be the fall guy” for the crime. 

“I spent 10 years in prison, but I was able to move on,” Shyne explained. “There’s a time to pivot, there’s a time to transition.” 

Diddy insists he was innocent of the shooting in one clip from the trailer. “I had nothing to do with a shooting in this club,” he said in footage from a press conference.  

The teaser begins with Shyne recalling being rap’s hottest new prospect. “Everybody that heard me wanted to sign me,” he stated before revealing he became a millionaire at Bad Boy Records.

The documentary chronicles the sacrifices Shyne made in his journey from rap star to politician. Shyne is now Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives and heads The Belize United Democratic Party. 

The logline reveals: “His journey is one of redemption, resilience, and transformation. This documentary provides an intimate look at Shyne’s personal evolution as he navigates fame, incarceration and a return home to Belize, where he finds new purpose and strives to lead his country to a brighter future.” 

Shyne Says Diddy “Sent Me To Prison”

Shyne addressed his relationship with Diddy last month after the embattled mogul was arrested for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution charges.  

“This is someone who in essence testified against me when I was on trial, when I was an 18-year-old kid just wanting to do nothing other than make my mother proud and make Belize proud,” he stated. “I was defending him, and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me and he contributed; he pretty much sent me to prison.” 

When asked about Diddy’s “freak off” parties, Shyne insisted he had nothing to do with his former mentor’s personal life.   

 “No interaction at that level,” he explained. Everything was strictly on a professional level.” 

The Honorable Shyne airs on Hulu November 18. 

Man Charged With Killing “Baby Shark” Rapper Ralan Styles In Suspected Botched Robbery 

22-year-old rapper Ralan Styles, known for his remix of viral children’s song “Baby Shark,” was shot and killed in a suspected robbery gone wrong. 

Ralan Styles, real name Michael Robinson, was reportedly shot and killed on Saturday morning (October 19) in Columbus, Ohio, when a robber tried to steal his chain, according to The Daily Mail. The outlet reports that witnesses said the alleged killer shot Ralan Styles in a scuffle before fleeing the scene.  

Columbus Police reportedly arrived on the scene around 5 a.m., after receiving a call for immediate assistance. They were flagged down and ushered into a home by a man who led them inside the building where Ralan Styles had been shot.  

Officers discovered Robinson bleeding from gunshot wounds and attempted to revive him. Despite first responders’ efforts, Robinson was pronounced dead at 5:10 a.m. 

Witnesses provided police with a detailed description of the shooter, leading them to locate 24-year-old Mahamood Hassan in the nearby area. Hassan reportedly matched the description and was also picked out by witnesses in a police lineup. 

He was arrested and charged in the fatal shooting on a charge of first-degree murder. Hassan was arraigned in Franklin County Municipal Court Monday morning (October 21), per NBC 15. A judge set bond at $2 million. Hassan will face court on Monday (October 29). 

Ralan Styles’ Label Pays Tribute

Robinson’s record label, Big Money Records, announced his death in an Instagram post Saturday.  

“Michael was not just an incredible talent but also a kind-hearted soul who poured his heart into every song he made for his fans,” Big Money Records wrote in an Instagram caption. “He touched many lives through his music, and his legacy will live on through the beats and lyrics he created.”

Busta Rhymes Warns Against Rushed Judgments In Diddy Controversy 

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 & Missy Elliott Awarded National Medals of Arts From President Biden 

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

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?

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.

I present to you:

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

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 Goes Full Nigerian Avante Gard in “NOID”

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

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

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 Arrested On Gun Charges Again

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.

Check out the tour dates below.

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

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

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

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.”
