Bishop Lamor Whitehead Accused Of Threatening Own Lawyer In Tasha K Legal Battle

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

Lamor Whitehead, a self-proclaimed bishop and real estate investor who’s currently embroiled in a legal battled with controversial YouTube personality Tasha K, is being accused of threatening his own lawyer. In legal docs obtained by AllHipHop, attorney Brian L. Ponder asked a judge to remove him from the case, citing abuse and non-payment.

“Plaintiff has engaged in repeated conduct against your declarant is deemed threatening and rendering the representation difficult for your declarant to carry out employment effectively,” the docs state. “When the undersigned contacted Plaintiff for payment for legal services, Plaintiff cites various excuses as to not being able to pay. Plaintiff requested and was granted two (2) extensions on payment due dates, but, unfortunately, both extended due dates have come and gone without payment of sums due.”

Ponder also claims Whitehead would frequently issue complaints about him via WhatsApp and when he’d asked him for clarification on the “manufactured” issues, he would go silent. At one point, Whitehead allegedly raised his voice. The docs continue, “In a telephone call initiated by Defendants via Lamor Whitehead on November 18, 2023, at 4:17 p.m., in response to the undersigned’s voicemail to Plaintiff concerning termination of legal representation and intent to file papers with the Court to withdraw, Plaintiff requested copies of all case files and was advised that said case files will be transmitted to him electronically via email and, given the voluminous nature of the case files, the case files may have to be mailed or ‘I can bring them to you.’ Lamor Whitehead asked if that was a threat and exclaimed, “I will f#ck you up!”

Whitehead allegedly blamed Ponder for their “failed” relationship, saying his “ineffectiveness in all of [his] cases” was reason enough not to pay him. At one point, after withdrawing from the case, Ponder was forced to contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“Despite Plaintiff’s representation, additional threats via email seemingly to retaliate for withdrawing from his cases was received by the undersigned, which caused the undersigned to forward the email and attachments therein to the United States prosecutors for the Southern District of New York who are handling a case involving Plaintiff, in order to document a cease and desist contact request from the undersigned to Plaintiff and to forward the email threat to the special agent for the FBI out of an abundance of caution before any acts in furtherance of the emailed threats were taken by Plaintiff against the undersigned and third parties,” the docs read.

“The undersigned was advised by a special agent with the FBI to advise them if any further contact was received from Plaintiff following the cease and desist contact request. Withdrawal from this case is appropriate given the general breakdown of the attorney-client relationship.”

Whitehead filed a defamation lawsuit against Tasha K in July and is seeking $360 million in damages. Yelen Entertainment, producers of Tasha K’s show, quickly countered the allegations, arguing that many of the statements are “fair and true” reports of judicial proceedings and are immune from defamation claims. They also argue that most of the challenged statements are opinions, speculation about the future or use loose, hyperbolic language.

Meanwhile, Whitehead has a checkered past that includes a five-year stint behind bars for multiple counts of identity theft, a civil lawsuit for allegedly defrauding a church out of its building and federal indictment for wire fraud, extortion and related charges.

Ralo Bashes “Weak” Charges In Young Thug RICO Trial

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Ralo criticized the ongoing RICO trial against Young Thug and other YSL members in Georgia on Wednesday (November 29). The 300 Entertainment artist showed support for his labelmate Young Thug by commenting on the case via social media.

“Young Thug [trial] weak as f###,” Ralo wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “I can’t even believe they giving Jeff ah hard time like that for them weak ass charges. They might [as] well just let him go. I feel like they just trying blame him for s### n##### around him was doing. That s### lame!!!”

Earlier this month, Ralo was released from prison after serving time on drug charges. Young Thug (a.k.a. Jeffery Williams) has remained in jail since his May 2022 arrest in the YSL RICO case.

Young Thug’s trial began on Monday (November 27). His attorney Brian Steel told jurors the rapper was not the gang leader prosecutors painted him to be in the RICO indictment.

“He is not running this criminal street gang in [the] Cleveland Avenue area of Bleveland to gain property, money or power,” Steel said in his opening statements. “Jeffery Williams did it on will and hard work and determination without anybody’s help except the people from that area that he will not turn his back on.”

The attorney added, “He is not sitting there telling people to kill people. He doesn’t need their money. Jeffery’s worth tens of millions of dollars.”

Prosecutors claim their evidence shows Young Thug is the leader of YSL, a violent street gang that terrorized Atlanta. The prosecution said YSL members “knew who their leader was and they knew the repercussions of not obeying their leader.”

Young Thug is one of six defendants on trial in the YSL RICO case. The prosecution’s first witness, Detective Mark Belknap, testified in court on Wednesday.

Nardo Wick Case: Police Seek Public’s Help To Identify Fan’s Attackers

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Police released photos of the two men suspected of brutally attacking a Nardo Wick fan outside of a club in Tampa. The Tampa Police Department initially shared a photo of someone not involved in the incident and corrected its error thanks to tips. Tipsters helped police identify another suspect, who was pictured in an update issued on Wednesday (November 29).

“Detectives are interested in speaking to anyone who witnessed the incident or may have information that would assist in identifying the suspects,” police wrote on Facebook. “Anyone with information that could assist is asked to call Tampa Police at 813-231-6130 or submit an anonymous tip by contacting Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay, Inc. at 800-873-TIPS (8477) or via TIP411.”

Two members of Nardo Wick’s entourage beat up a fan who ran up to the rapper after his performance at Club Skye in Tampa. One man sucker-punched the victim before a second attacker threw several shots at the fan’s head. The victim was knocked out and collapsed on the concrete. Footage showed Nardo Wick trying to intervene, but the damage was already done.

The victim was identified as George Obregon Jr. Police said he was taken to a local hospital, where he was in critical but stable condition. Nardo Wick released a statement after footage of the incident surfaced online.

“I don’t condone what happened to my fan George after my show in any type of way,” Nardo Wick wrote on Instagram. “I expressed to him and his mama how sorry and concerned I was that it happened to him multiple times before anything was ever posted on the internet. I sent his mama my number instantly the night it happened. I was even gone make a post to try to find out who he was before his mama text me. I can’t control another grown [man’s] actions. I ain’t know that was gone happen, and I was mad when it happened. I tried to stop it as u can see in the video, and if somebody got the longer video you can see how mad I was. I love and appreciate all my fans and don’t condone what happened at all dat s### ain’t gangsta or cool in no type of way.”

Obregon’s mother said her son suffered a concussion and brain bleeding. Nardo Wick’s manager claimed the attackers were not his security or “directly connected” to the RCA Records artist.

“A Love Letter To Hip-Hop” Director Benny Boom On How Hood Creativity Fuels Hip-Hop

By: Rick HazellCategory: Features

Hip-Hop and Benny Boom go hand-in-hand. His credentials are brolic as is his IMDb. A brief rundown includes directing videos for 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj, Akon and Keyshia Cole, collaborating with Channel Live and directing All Eyez on Me, along with several hit television shows like NCIS: Los Angeles and Empire. Now, what could a brother possibly do for an encore? Apparently a whole lot.

AllHipHop recently spoke with Benny Boom at a red carpet event celebrating the release of his new documentary, A Love Letter to Hip-Hop, which is co-directed and narrated by Black Thought of The Roots. The film explores the genre’s ascent from obscurity into a mainstream creative pillar and importance of the people who love it.

AllHipHop: Can you speak on how being from the hood leads to a type of diverse creativity that you have been able to parlay into a lasting career?

Benny Boom: When you grow up in an urban environment, a lot of times you’re deprived of things. At least when we were growing up, one thing you did have was a lot of love and a lot of community. It was still rough and tough, but there was this idea of community. Hip-Hop came along and gave us something to do. Whether you wanted to DJ or breakdance or do grafitti or rap, or any of those things. I did every single one of them at some point in time.

AllHipHop: At what point did you realize that this was a thing as a young person?

Seeing a music video with Duran Duran or something like that, and not really thinking we could reach that level, but seeing that this was talent. It’s not something that you just decide to do. I’m lucky enough to be of that age where I saw it from the beginning all the way through to the first rap record on the radio. We were just kids in the ghetto trying to make the best of what we had. It always turned out to where we steered the culture.

AllHipHop: How did you decide on the style of the piece?

It’s interesting because we were approached separately about it by BET. But Black Thought hadn’t written anything, so they wanted me to do the visuals. I just called him and asked him. He said, “Yeah, I only have a few parts, so I’m going to send it to you piecemeal and you just listen to it.” I knew I wanted it to be black and white, I knew I wanted to strip it down. Because black and white lets you focus on the images. You’re not distracted by this and that. I wanted it to be transcendent. I wanted people to be able to understand it from 1973 to 2023. The idea was to display the elements in their rawest form.

AllHipHop: At this point, you are recognized as a director far more than a Hip-Hop creative. What portions of the culture do you believe are tapped into when you bring those energies to TV and film?

Probably the MC part of it. I used to rap, so I always approached music videos from that idea of if I were in the studio, what would I want to see? As if I were an MC trying to get on a song with an artist. Like, what are you bringing to that song? As a rap artist, I would ask “What are you bringing to that record to blow that record up even more?”

A Love Letter to Hip-Hop screened at Urbanworld Film Festival and is currently airing on BET Networks. Watch the trailer above.

Boosie Badazz Says He Earned Respect As Businessman Thanks To Rod Wave Lawsuit Threat

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Boosie Badazz benefited from threatening to sue Rod Wave and other artists for using his lyrics without permission. The outspoken rapper claimed his willingness to pursue legal action changed the way he’s looked at in the music industry.

“What I did was a big step for me,” Boosie said on Instagram Live. “Now, people are respecting me. Now, the industry respecting me as a businessman … People calling me like, ‘Boosie, man, I’m trying to do this.’ Man, let’s do it. I be happy as a m###########.”

Earlier this month, Boosie criticized several artists for sampling his music and repurposing his lyrics without his clearance. He singled out Rod Wave, who used Boosie’s 2010 track “Long Journey” for a new song of the same name.

Rod Wave offered to pay Boosie an undisclosed amount after getting called out on social media. Boosie mentioned it was “too late” to settle now, but he still wanted artists to sample his work – as long as he gets proper compensation.

“I’m working with dudes so they keep wanting to sample my s###,” he said. “N##### usually get 50 percent. I be telling n##### 25 percent. Give me 25, I ain’t tripping. Give me 25, n####, I don’t even want no 50, n####. Put that in your pocket. That s### been coming back-to-back now. They starting to respect me as a businessman, not a pushover.”

Boosie also provided a brief update on his legal battle with his brother TQ and Yung Bleu in the Instagram Live session. The Baton Rouge native told viewers he filed lawsuits in Tennessee and his home state of Louisiana.

“I’m still in court with Bleu and them too,” he said. “I mean I’m suing them in Louisiana court now. Already suing them in Tennessee court … They just was being money hungry. They went behind my back and did a deal without my knowledge.”

Boosie accused his brother and Yung Bleu of forging his signature to facilitate a deal with EMPIRE. He believed they cheated him out of millions of dollars.

Polo G Sues Promoter For Lying To Public With False Advertisements

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Polo G accused a booking agency of promoting him for shows it knew he would not perform at in November. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, the Columbia Records artist filed a lawsuit against J. Noah B.V. and its owner Jozef Wanno in New York on Monday (November 27).

The lawsuit claimed J. Noah B.V. continued to advertise Polo G (a.k.a. Taurus Bartlett) for November events even though his representatives demanded the promoter stop advertising him. Bloomberg Law first reported the lawsuit.

“Defendants have committed a shocking and outrageous fraud upon the public,” Polo G’s lawyers wrote. “Specifically, Defendants are using Barlett’s name, image and Polo G trademark without permission in false advertisements. In their false advertisements, Defendants have lied to the public by falsely asserting that Bartlett would perform live at certain venues on specified dates during November 2023. At all relevant times, Defendants knew these performances would not occur.”

Attorneys said J. Noah B.V. and Wanno “willfully failed and refused to cease their wrongful behavior.” The promoter allegedly breached its contract with Polo G, who was supposed to be paid $495,000 for a string of shows. J. Noah B.V. failed to pay 25 percent of the total fee upfront per the terms of the deal.

Polo G claimed the agency further breached the contract by not properly promoting the shows. His lawyers also argued he was not obligated to perform because he suffered an injury, which prevented him from performing. Reps for the rapper allegedly offered to provide a doctor’s letter to prove he was injured, but the promoter ignored them.

The lawsuit said the promoter hurt Polo G’s reputation in the live music industry and damaged his relationship with the public. He sought “financial recovery for the serious harm they have caused him.” Polo G asked for damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees, among other requests.

C-Murder Files Another Appeal After Murder Conviction Upheld By Federal Judge

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

Corey “C-Murder” Miller has been attempting to get his murder conviction tossed out for the past 14 years. According to legal docs obtained by AllHipHop, Miller’s request has once again been denied, but he’s already filed an appeal. On November 14, U.S. District Judge Sarah S. Vance denied a habeas petition by Miller’s attorneys, which sought to overturn his 2009 conviction of murdering 16-year-old Steve Thomas. On November 24, Miller and his attorney, Jane Hogan, submitted the necessary paperwork to begin the process.

“NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Petitioner, Corey Miller, appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit from the District Court’s decision rendered on November 14, 2023, dismissing Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. R. Doc. 14,” the docs read. “Additionally, Petitioner prays that this Court grant him a Certificate of Appealability.”

Miller has been denied multiple times over the years but continues his fight. In 2019, Judge Steven Enright of 24th Judicial District Court determined the recantations of two witnesses in the case weren’t credible enough to overturn Miller’s conviction. Enright ruled Miller didn’t meet the burden of proof for post-conviction relief. Attorney Paul Barker argued Miller’s conviction should be tossed out, or at the very least, he should be granted a new hearing to argue the matter in court.

Despite Barker’s best efforts, Enright wrote the recantations of previous testimony “are highly suspicious” and except in rare circumstances “a new trial should not be granted on the basis of a recantation because it is tantamount to perjury so as to discredit the witness at a later trial.”

Talk of Miller’s high profile case started up again in June 2021 when the true-crime television series Reasonable Doubt did an episode on the much publicized case. During the show, two witnesses provided interviews but ultimately changed their stories even though they filed sworn affidavits on behalf of the incarcerated rapper.

In Judge Vance’s latest ruling, she upheld the state court’s decision. In her 47-page ruling, Vance wrote Miller had the legal burden to “put forth clear and convincing evidence of error in the state courts’ findings of fact, which he has failed to do.”

Miller was tried twice, convicted in 2009 and sentenced to life in prison. Thomas, an aspiring rapper who once had posters of Miller and his brother, Master P, hanging in his room, was shot and killed around 1 a.m. local time inside a club. A security guard named Darnell Jordan later testified he saw 15-20 people assaulting Thomas and a flash from Miller’s hand, presumably from a gunshot. A second witness, Kenneth Jordan, testified that celebrities were allowed to go around metal detectors at the club and identified Miller as the shooter from a photo lineup. Both men’s testimonies were consistent until 2018 when they signed affidavits recanting their identifications and accusing police investigators of pressuring them.

Joe Budden Labeled “A Puppet” By Tasha K For Not Covering Diddy’s Sexual Assault Allegations

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Joe Budden’s decision to edit out portions of his podcast has ignited a firestorm on the internet. The rapper-turned-media personality upset some of his fans by seemingly refusing to publicly discuss Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit against Diddy.

The Joe Budden Podcast supporters weren’t the only people to call out the usually outspoken commentator. Controversial YouTuber Tasha K also took aim at Budden for trying to avoid the hot-button conversation about Diddy.

“This is a puppet right here,” Tasha K said about Budden. “There’s another angle to this… When you have been accused of beating women too… You know how it feels for the internet to be dragging you and calling you a woman beater.”

Tasha also stated, “[Budden] loves women beaters, too. You have to understand that’s his world. And just because he’s not in that world anymore, and he’s an at-home man and has a girlfriend now, there’s a lot of s### that ain’t come out about him. Karma is a motherf###er.”

Joe Budden has faced abuse allegations in the past. For example, the No Love Lost album creator’s ex-girlfriend, Tahiry Jose, claimed she suffered a fractured rib and broken nose while dating Budden.

Video model Esther Baxter also alleged Budden assaulted her during their relationship. Baxter said she had a miscarriage due to the purported abuse. Budden insisted that he and Tahiry Jose were “toxic to each other.” He also denied Baxter’s accusations.

Tasha K’s criticism of Budden comes after the two content creators clashed over an axed interview. Budden refused to release an episode of his podcast featuring the UnwineWithTashaK presenter.

Cardi B Says She Doesn’t Leave Her House To Perform For Less Than $1 Million

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

During her seven years in the music industry, Cardi B has released multiple No. 1 and Diamond-certified songs. The Bronx, New York representative tells her fans she can now demand a seven-figure payout per performance.

Over the last several days, Cardi B found herself in the middle of a feud with fellow Love & Hip-Hop alumna Hazel-E. The online clash stemmed from Hazel accusing the “Bodak Yellow” rapper of disrespecting longtime rival Nicki Minaj.

Cardi took to Twitter Spaces to address some of the hatred directed her way. While she did not mention Hazel-E by name, the Invasion of Privacy album creator suggested some people have an issue with her because of jealousy.

Additionally, Cardi B took time to discuss her alleged going rate to perform. According to the self-described Trap Selena, concert promoters have to pony up at least a milli for her to hit the stage.

“I don’t even f###### come out the house to perform if it’s not $1 million and up,” Cardi said. She later added, “The f###? If you want me to take a f###### plane overseas, b####, it gotta be $1.5 million to $2 million.”

This was not the first time Cardi B discussed making over $1 million per show. Last year, the Grammy Award-winning recording artist tweeted about getting offered $2 million for an overseas event.

Kanye West Called “Unrepentant Antisemite” By Anti-Hate Organization Over “Vultures” Lyrics

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Kanye West is once again facing accusations of supporting antisemitism. His latest song has ignited condemnation from Jewish organizations, specifically the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign—collectively known as ¥$—released “Vultures” featuring Bump J on November 22, which includes Ye rapping, “How I’m anti-semitic?/I just f#### a Jewish b####.”

According to TMZ, the ADL is now denouncing West for his “Vultures” lyrics. The Jonathan Greenblatt-led group referred to Ye as an “unrepentant antisemite and clearly a misogynist.”

In addition, an ADL spokesperson told the celebrity news outlet, “At a time of rising antisemitism worldwide, it’s disgusting to see Kanye once again use his platform to spew Jew hatred.”

The American Jewish Committee also took issue with Kanye West’s “I just f#### a Jewish b####” line. The Jewish advocacy group’s Richard Hirschhaut ripped the Grammy winner for rapping those words in the midst of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

“To fuel the flames of antisemitism and promote such bile to his millions of followers, especially at this fraught and dangerous time for the Jewish community, is unforgivable,” Hirschhaut said.

West faced widespread backlash for his complimentary remarks about German dictator Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. He also associated himself with white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

His comments and actions eventually led to corporations like Gap and adidas parting ways with the controversial entertainer. The Anti-Defamation League was among the most vocal critics of Kanye West in 2022.

T.I. Gets Embarrassed Over Son King Not Knowing 2Pac Acted Or Will Smith Rapped

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

T.I. and his son King Harris continue to take over social media users’ timelines. After days of coverage about a family-related incident during a Falcons game, the father-son tandem has gone viral for another reason.

In a recent episode of the Complex series “GOAT Talk,” the former The Family Hustle cast members had to name their pick for the greatest rapper turned actor. Tip gave 2Pac (Juice, Poetic Justice) as his answer. King, 19, then shocked his dad by revealing he didn’t know 2Pac starred in movies before his 1996 murder.

“I didn’t know 2Pac was an actor,” King admitted, to which T.I. responded, “Get out! What are you talking about? You never seen Juice? What about when it said ‘Tupac Shakur’ on the screen… How could you embarrass me like this?”

King eventually mentioned Ice Cube (Boyz n the Hood, Friday) as his favorite rapper/actor. The conversation then turned to another Hip-Hop star who made the jump from the recording booth to the film set in the 1990s.

“Oh, Will Smith, can’t forget Will,” T.I. stated. King replied, “He’s a rapper? Bro, I don’t know no Will Smith songs. That’s like asking me what’s a Nick Cannon song.” Tip fired back, “No it’s not! Nick Cannon has no hits!”

The Grand Hustle founder went on to inform King that Will Smith (also known as The Fresh Prince) became the first rapper to receive a Grammy Award. His “Parents Just Don’t Understand” single with DJ Jazzy Jeff won Best Rap Performance in 1989.

In addition to dropping numerous studio albums, T.I. appeared in motion pictures as well. The 43-year-old made his film acting debut in 2006’s ATL before starring in other movies like American Gangster and Ant-Man.

The legendary battle rapper and Wild ‘N Out star shared his story during the latest episode of Nick Cannon’s VH1 show Nick Cannon Presents: Future Superstars. 

The St. Louis native revealed he moved to Atlanta to “escape a certain kind of life that keep following me.” However, he says ATL wasn’t “peaches and cream” either before recounting the events of the harrowing night his girlfriend of seven years was shot. 

Hitman Holla was working out of town when the men broke into their home, but he happened to be on Facetime with his girlfriend. Cinnamon was alerted when her dog began barking, so Hitman Holla remotely checked the security cameras.  

Hitman Holla Felt “Helpless” on Facetime During The Home Invasion

Cinnamon soon discovered she was not alone in the house, and Hitman told her to grab his gun. “She ran in the closet. I feel like so helpless,” he said, recalling his terror over the unfolding drama. “All I could do is walk her through the moment, but I’ve never felt like this.”  

He told Cinnamon that despite her fears, “If you want to survive, you have to shoot this gun.” On the other end of the phone, Hitman heard somebody kick the door down before Cinnamon fired the weapon.  

“She missed,” he said, adding the assailant shot back and continued firing. “The phone goes silent, all I heard was gunshots and Cinnamon didn’t come to the phone.”  

Hitman was beside himself, screaming, “they killed Cinnamon,” before passing out.   

Check out the clip below, where Cinnamon also recalls the harrowing night from her perspective.  

Cinnamon was rushed to hospital following the incident. She was fitted with a neck brace and continued to experience severe nerve pain and numbness long after the shooting.  

Nardo Wick Posts Video Message About His Entourage Attacking Fan

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

This week, Nardo Wick found himself in news headlines following a violent incident involving his crew. Wick’s associates were filmed attacking a fan named George Obregon Jr., 20, in Tampa.

Nardo Wick traveled to the Florida city for a performance at Club Skye. Video footage showed two men repeatedly punching Obregon outside the venue after he apparently tried to take a picture of the rapper.

The Tampa Police Department claimed the victim was in critical, but stable condition. George Obregon’s mother, Michelle Obregon, used a Facebook post to demand justice for her son. She also spoke to the media.

Nardo Wick released a statement about the situation on his Instagram page. The “Who Want Smoke?” performer apologized to the Obregon family and expressed anger over the ordeal.

He also added, “I don’t give a damn about what everybody’s talking about. Talking about, ‘sue, sue, sue.’ I don’t care about that. They gonna do what they gotta do. Right now I’m worried about the fan.”

Diddy’s Ex Bodyguard Says He’s Speaking Out Over Lack Of “Loyalty” During Son’s Murder Trial 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Diddy’s former bodyguard Roger Bonds has revealed why he’s breaking his silence on his time with the Hip-Hop mogul. Bonds took to Instagram Tuesday (November 28), claiming that although he was always there for his Diddy’s children, his former employer wasn’t there during his son’s murder trial.  

Earlier this year, Bond’s son was reportedly sentenced to 27 years for his role in a 2011 murder in Namibia. Bonds called out Diddy for donating millions of dollars to worthy causes but showing no “loyalty” toward his son and failing to help with his legal costs. He shared reports of Diddy’s $3 million donation to three colleges in 2023 alone, saying, “If this is Love what’s Hate?” 

Bonds continued in the caption: “At one time I would have tooken a bullet for this man and those that know me know that’s true. What happen?” He went on to hint that staying silent could land him in jail before expressing his frustrations over his son.  

“Nobody worried about there kids when I had them I mean nobody,” Bonds added. “Where is the Loyalty at when it’s my SON ? Your want me to have loyalty to someone who couldn’t tell me here’s a 100,000 I may not can go but I ran sure can make sure he has a legal team. But I’ll give some strangers 3 million. F### outta here “ 

He went on to say, “My truth , my story , my life,” is coming soon. OH YOU DIDNT THINK I WOULD TALK ABOUT IT. We’ll watch me.” 

He concluded his post with another question. “Name one person that has been with Diddy that is well off. Name one? ??” he asked before claiming that no such person exists.

Bonds first hinted he would speak out over the weekend once Cassie Ventura filed her bombshell lawsuit. In it, she claimed Bonds not only witnessed Diddy’s violence but also tried to intervene multiple times.  

The former couple swiftly settled the suit, although two other women have filed lawsuits accusing Diddy of sexual and/or physical abuse. Diddy recently stepped down as chairman of his own company REVOLT, while Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School in New York City also announced it has ended its partnership with the Bad Boy Records founder.

Benny The Butcher’s “Villain” Era Initiated By Photo With Freddie Gibbs’ Ex

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Benny The Butcher has created his own villain origin story following his recent photo-op with Freddie Gibbs’ ex-girlfriend, who’s also allegedly the mother of his child.

On Tuesday (November 28) the Griselda MC hopped on Twitter (X) to repost a photo of himself and Gibbs’ ex, who goes by the name Destini Creams, hugged up rather cozily together. The woman appears to be smiling ear-to-ear with Benny’s arms around her waist and his face buried in her ear.

“Chillin like a villain,” Benny wrote in the caption of the salacious pic.

Both Benny and Gibbs’ ex posing together for a photo is certainly a surprising turn of events, considering Gibbs and his ex were reportedly involved in an altercation in Buffalo in May 2022 in which the Alfredo lyricist and his then-girlfriend had their chains snatched. In fact, she actually addressed the altercation, in addition to speaking on her estranged relationship with Gibbs in a rant she shared on Twitter.

“Freddie didn’t spin about s### when they took my jewelry so i went and got it back myself,” she wrote in a tweet. In another tweet, she accused Gibbs of deserting her and his alleged son, adding, “Everything was planned then he switched up. said he would still help me with the baby and after holding him down through whatever, the first chance he got to dip on me- he did. but y’all excuse it because he can rhyme words.”

Check out the post recapping Gibbs and his ex’s break-up saga below.

Diddy Axed From Harlem Charter School Partnership Following Bombshell Lawsuits

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Diddy is continuing to feel the repercussions from Cassie Ventura’s bombshell lawsuit, which is causing a ripple effect in the Bad Boys mogul’s life. On Tuesday (November 28), the Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School in New York City announced it has ended its partnership with Diddy.

“Following a comprehensive evaluation, a decision has been made to end the partnerships between Capital Preparatory Schools and Sean Combs,” Dr. Steve Perry, founder and head of schools, said. “While this decision was not made lightly, we firmly believe it is in the best interest of our organization’s health and future.”

Harlem Prep opened in 2016 with the aim of offering more educational opportunities for young men and women in the community. A Bronx location opened in 2020. Diddy served as an advisor and provided support.

“The kids of Harlem should have access to opportunity and a quality education and deserve to learn on a campus that reflects the level of excellence we aspire for them to achieve,” Diddy said in 2021. “This new campus for Capital Prep Harlem reflects my commitment to empowering as many children as I can and creating spaces for the next generation of leaders to thrive in every aspect of their lives.”

Despite Diddy’s good intentions, his reputation has taken a giant hit over the last 12 days. Ventura filed the suit on November 16, alleging rape and physical assault. Since then, two other lawsuits have been filed alleging similar behavior. The Harlem Charter School’s decision comes not long after Diddy stepped down as chairman of his own company REVOLT. He reportedly made a “temporary” decision last week to vacate the role as his various lawsuits get sorted out.

Diddy and Ventura settled out of court less than 24 hours after she filed in a Manhattan federal court. Shortly after the resolution, Atlanta’s Agenda Studios canceled an event promoting Diddy’s tequila brand, DELEÓN. As the company explained on Instagram, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the unfortunate cancellation of Sunday’s highly anticipated DELEÓN Day Party. Recent, serious allegations against DELEÓN Tequila owner, Sean “Puff” Combs,” have compelled us to take immediate action. In light of these circumstances, we believe it is in the best interest of our community to regrettably cancel the event. We understand the disappointment this may bring, but we remain committed to the values of integrity and accountability.”

Additionally, journalist/marketing specialist Dawn Montgomery announced she would no longer be part of REVOLT’s Monuments to Me podcast, tweeting on November 20, “FYI: I won’t be signing on to do the 3rd season of @revolttv’s Monuments To Me podcast. I am a [sexual assault] survivor & I cannot be a part of a show that’s supposed to uplift black women while @Diddy leads the company. Believe Black women.”
