New York may rescind Diddy’s key to the city over a video showing the Hip-Hop mogul brutally assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Mayor Eric Adams said a revocation was under consideration in an interview with PIX11 News on Monday (May 20).
“I think all of us were deeply disturbed by watching that chilling video of the young lady being assaulted by him,” Adams told PIX11 News. “The committee and the team — we’ve never rescinded a key before — but we are now sitting down to see what the next steps forward are going to be.”
Diddy received the key to the city in September 2023, just a few months before Cassie sued him for rape and years of abuse. Cassie’s lawsuit detailed an incident in which the Bad Boy Records founder assaulted her at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
CNN released surveillance footage from the hotel on May 17. The video corroborated some of Cassie’s allegations.
Diddy threw Cassie to the ground after chasing her down in a hotel hallway. He kicked her twice while she was motionless on the floor before attempting to drag her back to his room.
Later in the footage, Diddy tracked Cassie down again and shoved her into a corner. He also chucked what appeared to be a vase at her.
Diddy responded to the Cassie assault video by apologizing on Sunday (May 19). He claimed to be “truly sorry.”
“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he said on Instagram. “I was f##### up. I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”
Cassie’s lawyer criticized Diddy’s apology, calling it “disingenuous.” The attorney said it reeked of “pathetic desperation.”
Diddy and Cassie settled her lawsuit out of court in November 2023. More accusers sued Diddy after the settlement was reached. The feds raided his homes as part of a sex trafficking investigation in March.

Eminem married off his daughter Hailie Jade Scott to her new husband, Evan McClintock. The couple tied the knot over the weekend at Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Slim Shady donned a pair of black sunglasses, Nikes and a sharp, black tuxedo as he twirled Hailie around on the dance floor for the traditional first dance. Hailie appeared to be laughing in one of the shots, captured by Erika Christine Photography, as the father-daughter duo shared the priceless moment.
The bride later shared some professional shots of her wedding with her 3.2 million Instagram followers with the caption, “Waking up a wife this week. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. So so many happy tears were shed, laughs & smiles were had, & so much love was felt. Evan and I are feeling so grateful for all of the family & friends that traveled to support us and be a part of this new chapter of our lives as husband & wife.”
Scott and McClintock, who’ve been together since 2016, announced their engagement in February 2023 via Instagram. She wrote at the time, “casual weekend recap… 2.4.23. i love you.” The 28-year-old podcaster has been engrained in pop culture since she was a little kid thanks to Eminem’s music. He’s mentioned her in multiple songs over the years, including on the track “My Dad’s Gone Crazy,” which features Hailie as young girl.
Meanwhile, Eminem is preparing his next album, The Death of Slim Shady, which is expected to arrive sometime this summer. As part of the album rollout, The Detroit Free Press an an obituary for Eminem’s longtime alter-ego. The obit highlighted his “playfully deranged single ‘My Name Is.'”
“That audience was soon exposed to the extreme darkness of the muse/rapper, as he led millions of music fans down a road that glorified a demonstrably nihilistic worldview,” it read. “Ultimately, the very things that seemed to be the tools he used became calling cards that defined an existence that could only come to a sudden and horrific end,” the obituary read in part. “His complex and tortured existence has come to a close, and the legacy he leaves behind is no closer to resolution than the manner in which this character departed this world.”
The Death of Slim Shady serves as the follow-up to 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By.

The New Orleans-bred supergroup known as Hot Boys became one of the standout acts of the late 1990s/early 2000s. Lil Wayne, Turk, BG and Juvenile dropped three studio albums between 1997 and 2003.
According to Juvenile, fans of the foursome can expect to see all the members come back together soon. The 49-year-old rapper talked about the forthcoming reunion during a livestream.
“Hot Boys [are] back together. What [are] you talking about put the Hot Boys back together?” Juve stated in a video posted to social media.
He also said, “Turk gonna be with me tonight. I’m gonna be with BG next week. Me, Wayne, Turk and BG, all of us gonna be on stage in New Orleans with Mannie Fresh and Birdman. And we already started working on a Hot Boys album.”
Juvenile confirms all four members of the Hot Boys (including Lil Wayne) have reunited and are already working on a new album! 🌶️🔥 pic.twitter.com/GV0G1sZkTg
The first Hot Boys album, Get It How U Live!, came out in October 1997. The Cash Money Records-back crew followed that debut project with 1999’s Guerrilla Warfare and 2003’s Let ‘Em Burn.
Guerrilla Warfare hosted the singles “We on Fire” and “I Need a Hot Girl” featuring Big Tymers. The Recording Industry Association of America certified Guerrilla Warfare as platinum in November 1999.
While under the Cash Money umbrella, Juvenile also released solo albums such as 1998’s 4x-platinum 400 Degreez and 2003’s platinum Juve the Great. He later released projects via Atlantic Records, E1 Music and Rap-A-Lot Records.
Like Juvenile, Hot Boys member Lil Wayne also achieved commercial success as a soloist. The Young Money leader scored three No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and five No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart.
When the video of Diddy abusing Cassie Ventura hit the wire, speculation immediately began: “Who gave this crazy, sick and disgusting video to the media?”
Diddy allegedly paid $50,000 to suppress the video eight years ago, when the abuse incident happened. We agreed that $50,000 seemed extremely light to pay for something so damning. Nevertheless, it lined up with the allegations in the civil suit filing by Ventura.
The prevailing theory was that someone from the hotel kept a copy and turned it over. Slowly but surely, another theory emerged. A lot of speculation centered around the raid of Diddy’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami. Many folks felt like this could’ve been the result of the raid and that the federal government released it to the media. But there are sources close to us saying something completely different, yet completely plausible. They are saying that 50 Cent is behind it, and there’s evidence that could be true.
First things first: why would they mess with 50 Cent? Diddy’s son, Christian “King” Combs, crafted a diss record in the middle of a federal investigation that included lyrics targeting his biggest adversary. That wasn’t a good move. I won’t reveal how or what 50 Cent exactly did, but there’s evidence out there to substantiate the claim.
One thing we do know is that 50 Cent has a documentary, tentatively titled Surviving P Diddy, on Diddy. From what I understand, the documentary is investigative and contains a lot of evidence supporting the claim that Diddy had something to do with the death of ex Kim Porter.
If nothing else, it will reveal that he was extremely abusive, as he was with Cassie Ventura. It seems as though the evidence in the video was unearthed by 50 Cent and his crew during the creation of the documentary. I will leave it at that because I don’t want to say too much. One thing is for sure: 50 Cent is not to be played with, and he’s definitely on the warpath right now.
By the way, somebody already did a YouTube documentary with the title Surviving Diddy and it has more than five million views. I haven’t looked at it, but it appears to be a collage of people like Big Gene, Jaguar Wright and other stuff that was already online.
While Cardi B is a diamond-certified, Grammy Award-winning recording artist, she’s also become a public figure whose political opinions often make national news.
“The famous rapper, Cardi B… she endorsed Biden in 2020. Now she told Rolling Stone magazine she doesn’t ‘f’ with either of them,” Jake Tapper explained to his panel of State of the Union political commentators.
The Moment author Bakari Sellers responded, “I don’t think the biggest threat to Joe Biden is Donald Trump. I think the biggest threat to Joe Biden is people staying at home. Cardi B actually echoes that sentiment.”
In January 2021, Cardi B still supported newly-inaugurated President Biden. Right-wing Republicans, like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, threatened to impeach the new POTUS just days into his presidency.
“How they trying to impeach Biden already? He hasn’t even taken a s### at the White House yet. This just shows me how delusional and dumb people can be,” Cardi tweeted at the time.
Following overwhelming backlash over the violent video, Diddy offered a public expression of regret. Comedian Desi Banks decided to post a spoof of the “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” rapper’s apology video.
However, Desi Banks received mixed reactions. Some social media users found the parody funny. In contrast, critics blasted Banks for supposedly trivializing a serious issue so soon after the news broke.
“If The Boondocks added this exact skit to their show, n##### would be laughing but now all of a sudden it’s insensitive,” one X user commented on Sunday (May 19).
Another X account tweeted, “Y’all don’t gotta make everything into a corny skit for your own gain.” Someone else posted, “This is what I’m saying nobody takes [domestic violence seriously].”
A defender of Desi Banks wrote, “N##### tryna say [he’s] making a joke about domestic violence when he’s clearly clowning Diddy??? This is why nobody takes this community [seriously].”
Desi Banks rose to internet fame through his comedy sketches on Vine before transitioning to other platforms like X and YouTube. He also appeared in motion pictures such as 2019’s Little starring Regina Hall, Issa Rae and Marsai Martin.
Jacquees and Deiondra Sanders will have a newborn son. The “B.E.D.” singer and the daughter of Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deon Sanders hosted a gender reveal party.
Jacquees shared photos and videos from the function on social media. The self-described King of R&B celebrated the occasion with a personal Instagram statement.
“WE ARE HAVING A LIL BABY BOY. THANK YOU JESUS! GOD IS GOOD!!!!” Jacquees wrote as the caption for one of his Instagram posts.
Deiondra Sanders’ pregnancy with Jacquees made headlines over the last several months. In particular, the Deion’s Family Playbook reality show star’s famous father commented on the news in April.
“I haven’t digested that whole thing yet,” Deon Sanders admitted in an interview. “I’m proud of my baby that she’s at least waited until her thirties to give me this gift of life.”
Deiondra Sanders and Jacquees filmed moments leading up to the gender reveal as well as the actual party. Sanders published a 25-minute video about the festivities on her YouTube channel
“Thank you everyone who came, supported and sponsored! Thanks bae for making this day so special for me and everything I imagined! I love you all! YOUTUBE OUT NOW!! And I will be posting all week so get ready! lol,” Deiondra Sanders wrote on Instagram.
Shyne released his self-titled debut album in 2000 via Diddy’s record label, Bad Boy Entertainment. The Belizean rapper/politician has now publicly condemned his former boss.
On Friday (May 17), CNN published an InterContinental Hotel LA surveillance video of Diddy attacking his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Diddy later offered a public apology. Despite the mea culpa, the 2016 footage caused outrage on social media.
Shyne addressed the viral clip of Diddy dragging and kicking Cassie Ventura, blasting his violent actions on Instagram.
“I vehemently denounce the repugnant behavior of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs captured on the video in which he is seen physically assaulting Mrs. Cassie Ventura-Fine,” Shyne wrote in his Instagram caption. “There is no place for violence against women anywhere on the planet.
“As a father of a precious daughter, a global citizen and the next Prime Minister of Belize, I want absolutely nothing to do with people who engage in this pattern of diabolical behavior.”
In addition to being signed to Bad Boy in 1998, Shyne also served nine years in prison following a 1999 nightclub shooting in New York. A jury acquitted Diddy, then known as Puff Daddy, in the same criminal case.
Shyne concluded his Instagram message about Diddy by referencing other abuse accusations against the mogul. The current leader of the Belize United Democratic Party stated, “My prayers are with Cassie and all the other victims who have come forward with horrendous allegations against Mr. Combs.”
Kelly Price is clarifying her remarks after facing intense backlash for her response to Diddy’s recent apology video.
Social media users blasted the singer after she offered up prayers for her former collaborator following his response to the video published by CNN over the weekend. The harrowing footage showed Diddy chasing his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura down a hotel hallway before brutally assaulting her.
On Sunday evening (May 19), Price took to Instagram Live to address “those who misconstrued, misinterpreted or just chose to put words in my mouth.”
“I have not spoken about any of this stuff since it’s come out. I don’t stand with anything that is criminal. None of us can unsee what we saw,” she said during the livestream.
Price insisted she urged Diddy to “do the soul work,” because she believed he “would hear it.” She also claimed that everybody has the capacity “to go to a dark enough place to do some very horrible things.”
Price continued in the caption, “ I won’t let anyone call me out for something I didn’t do. I can’t offer redemption, forgiveness or Grace because my name is Kelly, not Jesus. “
Price elaborated on her “soul work” comment, claiming Diddy needs “Therapy+Jesus.” She concluded, “What happens legally is up to the people who have that authority.”
Kelly Price needs to have several seats … in therapy! Clearly this woman has not healed from her traumas. Pretending to be healed by the blood of this Christ person doesn’t seem to be working for you Miss disappear Miss pray through it Miss love your predator Miss GTFOH#Diddypic.twitter.com/VqDxJ86Rna

50 Cent isn’t letting up on his Ja Rule slander after the Indiana Pacers eliminated the New York Knicks in game seven of the 2024 NBA playoffs on Sunday (May 19).
After the game, the G-Unit mogul took to social media to troll his longtime nemesis. According to 50 Cent, the Knicks lost because Ja Rule got his mitts on the NBA championship trophy. He posted a photo of Ja kissing the Larry O’Brien trophy while blaming him for the defeat.
“If you’re wondering why the Knicks couldn’t get the W, here you have it,” he wrote. Fiddy also had a few words for the officials who allowed access, adding “SMH who let this fool touch the trophy.”
This isn’t the first time 50 Cent trolled Ja Rule over the NBA playoffs. The pair have been feuding for more than two decades over various squabbles. Earlier this month, Fiddy claimed Ja cursed the Knicks and turned on his hometown team.
“Oh s### [eyes emoji] don’t bet on the Knicks to win this next game. This janky ass [ninja emoji] put his juju all on the team. F### that I’m bet my money on the [Minnesota Timberwolves]!” 50 Cent tweeted about Ja on May 9.
Ja Rule fired back a week later, pointing out that the Timberwolves were on a three-game losing streak to the Denver Nuggets.
“The Wolves haven’t won since this tweet!!! 50 you f###### MUSH. Ant-Man [Anthony Edwards] stay away from this goofy, he a fed anyway,” Ja Rule replied.
👀 The Wolves haven’t won since this tweet!!! 50 you f###### MUSH Ant man stay away from this goofy he a fed anyway… 🤣🧡💙 Stream Mama on all platforms NOW!!! https://t.co/EvBEjleIZs
Diddy’s former bodyguard, Roger Bonds, accused Diddy of assaulting his late ex-partner, Kim Porter.
Furthermore, Bonds claims he intervened during the alleged beatings, just like he did on multiple occasions when the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder violently assaulted Cassie Ventura.
On Sunday (May 19), Bonds shared his reaction to Diddy’s apology video. The Hip-Hop mogul apologized to Ventura after CNN published a video of Diddy chasing Ventura down a hotel hallway before brutally beating and kicking her.
Bonds objected to Diddy claiming to have been at “rock bottom,” at the time. According to Bonds, the hotel video was not an isolated incident, and alleged Diddy has a long history of being violent with Ventura, Kim Porter and others.
“YOU WAS WHIPPING NOT ONLY HER ASS & KIMS ASS BUT OTHERS,” he wrote on his Instagram Story while teasing an upcoming exposé.
In a follow-up post, Bonds blasted Diddy’s “b####### apology,” calling him out for not mentioning Cassie by name.
“BUT TELL HIM TO MENTION EVERYONE NAME INCLUDING KIM PORTER,” he said before adding, “I got in between them [too].”
Bonds continued, “I was manipulated also, maybe not in a physical way but an emotional way that you people who don’t even know this man will never understand. F### that woman Beater!!!!!”
In her bombshell lawsuit, Ventura claimed Bonds unsuccessfully tried to intervene on multiple occasions when Diddy was assaulting her. She detailed several incidents, including one altercation Bonds tried to stop Diddy “stomping on her face.”
Diddy was spotted on a stroll in Miami over the weekend, his first public sighting since the harrowing surveillance footage surfaced of the Bad Boy Records mogul violently assaulting Cassie Ventura.
On Sunday (May 19), Diddy appeared carefree while walking around his neighborhood.
Although paparazzi tried to get him to address the controversy, Diddy remained silent. He told a TMZ photographer to enjoy his day, saying nothing else save for his “Love” slogan.

Meanwhile, earlier on Sunday, Diddy resurfaced on social media to apologize for his brutal 2016 assault on his former girlfriend. He claimed he “hit rock bottom” before acknowledging, “My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”
He added that he “was disgusted then when I did it,’ and remains so. “I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab,” Diddy said.
However, his apology fell on deaf ears, with many Hip-Hop fans believing he’s only sorry he got caught.
One of Ventura’s attorneys, Meredith Firetog, noted Diddy only apologized after previously denying all of the allegations against him from Ventura and others.
“When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday,” she said. Firetog claimed his apology video “shows his pathetic desperation,” insisting “no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”
Termanology is celebrating his 50th album, Time is Currency, in collaboration with DJ Nastee. The Boston-to-Brooklyn elite MC discusses experiences in the music industry and his top five rappers. DJ Thoro and Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur also talk to Term about the power of his brand, Good Dad Gang, which aims to empower and motivate fathers to be present in their children’s lives.
Term emphasized the importance of staying true to one’s style and not conforming to popular trends in music. He expressed concern about the future of Hip-Hop, noting that many young artists appear to be practicing in front of audiences before they are ready.
The spirited conversation below is a heavily edited Q&A, but watch the video for the entire talk.
DJ Thoro: Where do you enjoy your inspiration from to put out 50 albums? Because that’s a lot of songs, recordings, ideas, concepts.
Termanology: Right. And that’s just what made it, because it’s a lot of stuff that never sees the light of day. But I think that, to be honest, bro, I just love being in the studio. It’s my passion, you know what I’m saying? I love being in the lab, clearly. Yeah. And to be honest, man, a lot of the stuff that I do doesn’t show up on the scoreboard. Executive producing, co-pro producing, ghostwriting. I’m doing all kinds of stuff. I just love being in the studio, you know what I mean?
Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: What keeps you lyrically motivated? What keeps you lyrically moving and shaking and sharp?
Termanology: I just love Hip-Hop. If it’s nothing out that’s moving me, I’ll go back and listen to classics. When I first got here, we were talking about Capital Punishment and Ready to Die. If I ever feel like, ‘Damn, I don’t know what to say right now,’ I’ll go listen to albums like that and be like, ‘I’m going to have to try my hardest.’ And it still might not even sound half as good as that. It’s like when I look at those type of legends and the artistry and that level of lyricism, I be trying my hardest to just be a 10 out of 10 with it every time.
Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: I’ll never forget when you said “I’m a young Rakim with the bars.” That’s audacious.
Termanology: I was talking heavy when I first came out. I was talking, that was like 2006, too. Yo, when I first came out, bro, I was trying to make a name for myself from a relatively unknown city. Lawrence Mass, it’s next to Boston.
And I moved out to New York and I trying to get people in New York to respect my bar. So doing shock rap and just punchline rap was something that really helped me because people, when you dropping some names and you’re saying some crazy s###, people were like, “What the f### you say?”
DJ Thoro: It’s funny that people would do this at Boston because Boston is entrenched, enriched in Hip-Hop. Guru from Gang Starr, he was from Boston.
Termanology: Ed O.G.
DJ Thoro: I always said New York artists, it’s a crowd of rappers watching you…goons.
Termanology: Goons depending where you at, and they’re not going to fan out for you either.
DJ Thoro: Does Boston have a sound?
Termanology: I would say Boston Hip-Hop always had the New York sound. We are only four hours away and we do boom bap. So who was from Boston? Ed O.G.? Right? Guru, Big Suge. That’s Gang Starr, Almighty RSO, who was doing their beats Hangmen 3 (production Ray Benzino, Jeff Two Times, and Johnny Bananas). So it had a New York sound. It was just New York’s cousin. And now it doesn’t because now it has the sound of whatever is popping, the homogenized sound.
DJ Thoro: Now switching gears, I’m a father man, and it’s something I want to commend you. I want you to speak on it. Your brand, the Good Dad Gang.
Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: I’m a father, as well.
Termanology: No doubt, man. We all are in here. Good Dad Gang is the coolest thing I’ve ever done. And I’ve been able to help fathers get back in their kids’ life, help fathers deal with a lot of stuff. Yeah, it’s real stuff. It’s real stuff. There’s a crazy misconception in this world that fathers don’t care. Fathers don’t want to be there, specifically Black and Latino.
DJ Thoro: Right? We go through a lot of s###, bro.
Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: Say it again.
Termanology: We go through a lot of s###, man. If there’s 8 billion people in this world, right? I’m sure there’s a lot of bad dads, but there’s just as many good dads, especially in 2024, right? In my era, you didn’t see your dad. You know what I’m saying? Ever facts In this era, when I go pick up my kid from school, that s### is at least half dads. So it just, we’re in a different era where we know better and we doing better. But for some reason it’s so many people out here that still have that stigma.
There’s still on us. So I’ve been working so hard to turn that s### around. And if you go to Good Dad gang, if you go to my page on Instagram, you’ll see thousands of pictures of dads doing real s### with their kids. You know what I mean? So you can see what it is. And it’s like, yeah, a picture could lie. You could be a dead dad and take a pic and act like one. But you got to look in the mirror and your baby mom knows. Your kids know and people know.
DJ Thoro: So for anybody that don’t know, do you have music that talks about this subject? Do you have music that touches on exactly what we’re speaking on right now?
Termanology: Yeah, I do. Some of the songs. My catalog is so crazy that you might have to search for it. But some of the songs talk about the stuff I went through in court. Some of them talk about just that. I love my kids and I spent time with them. Some of the struggles I went through as a young dad, for example, I had to take a parenting class and my baby mom, we both didn’t know nothing about kids.
I’m the only one [forced to take classes]. She’s like, oh, he’s not fit. Well, you not fit either. OK, so he got to take a parenting class then to take her kid— but it’s our kid. It’s unfair. That’s a whole ‘nother story, it’s crazy. But the good part is, it’s like we’re doing great.
We did a collab with DJ Premier, “Good Dad.” We had all the fathers come out with their kids on Father’s Day, Times Square, big billboard, just doing positive stuff. We do backpack giveaways every year. In my hood, I give away a thousand backpacks and Lawrence, Massachusetts. That’s the poorest city in Massachusetts. It’s crazy. So we’re doing good stuff, man.
Memphis rapper Big30 appears to have responded to Moneybagg Yo after an unreleased diss track began circulating on social media.
On Friday (May 17), a Facebook post purportedly authored by Big30 went viral, as fans determined Moneybagg Yo was the individual he authored the post about. In the lengthy message, Big30 initially appears to speak about signing to Moneybagg Yo’s Bread Gang label, alleging that he only signed to receive protection from an individual he was associated with.
“And who tf said they gone die bout that lame ass s###, that don’t even sound like me truth be told n#### recruited my n###a for protection, sholl hope yeen never thought my n###a had super powers he couldn’t do it by his self fool ass n###a,” Big30 wrote in the post. “You came to our hood for the muscle cause them folks starting putting pressure on his ass extortion only!! He still paying n###a to this day to stay off his ahh.”
In another portion of the post, Big30 appears to reference Nuskie, his cousin who was also signed to Moneybagg Yo’s Bread Gang label at one point. Nuskie was reportedly shot to death in their hometown of Memphis in January 2022.
“How tf you Nuskie, living Youn do s### Nuskie do…. Ain’t tried to lift a pinky …..I wore a breadgang chain cause I was sighed to you,” he wrote.
Big30 continued, alleging an incident occurred between them with Pooh Shiesty and more,
“You begged for a big blrrrd chain SHIESTY SAID HIS SELF NEGATIVE ITS ONLY 2 OF US DUDE A BOZO and ts was dead and please tell these folks when we ever talked face to face and Ian have mines on me or you know how we moving… we brought life to that s### made the city respect you my n###a died for that lame ass s### and yeen even come to the funeral you posted a car I was in one it’s a big difference between me and you…,” he wrote.
As he concluded, Big30 criticized Moneybagg Yo for the way he handled Nuskie’s death.
“Ask anybody I had 150k in a back pack ready to spend whatever to put my n###a away nice make sure he str8 you called my phone begging to lemme let you pay for the funeral knowing yeen have a 1st nor 2nd thought on coming talm bout after Shiesty got locked I layed down naaaaw I was on some mo S### at the time after my n###a died I couldn’t stay in rap mode like you you done played now I gotta really flush you [100 emoji],” he wrote.
In the unreleased track circulating social media, Moneybagg Yo appeared to fire off a rebuttal of his own to the statement Big30 made, and even went as far as alluding to the rapper being a flop on his own rather than him sabotaging his career.
Check out Big30’s full post above and listen to Moneybagg Yo’s leaked diss below.
Cardi B could be considering making a venture into the food influencing industry based on the impact of a video she did with popular food reviewer Keith Lee.
On Saturday (May 18), Cardi B appeared to come to terms with the scope of how powerful her reach on social media is after discovering a report about it on Twitter (X). In a quoted reply to a report published by Fortune Magazine, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper reacted to news that the TikTok video she and Keith Lee created earlier this year led to a major shift in stocks in Korean markets.
According to the report, the stocks of the manufacturer responsible for the Buldak spicy instant noodles the pair taste-tested in the video experienced a 30 percent jump in the months following the release of the TikTok video.
“wow …I need to stop trying stuff for free,” Cardi wrote.
Cardi B’s reaction to the news is certainly a reasonable one, considering the impressions of her food review videos outline what could prove to be a lucrative opportunity for her. The video she and Lee released reviewing the spicy noodles attracted well over 3.9 million likes in addition to more than 34 million views on TikTok.
A similar video of the pair reviewing Los Angeles Smashburger chain Easy Street Burgers garnered more than 14 million views. A solo video she recorded of herself trying the fabled about delicacy, the Balut egg, snatched up more than 35 million views as well.
Par for the course, 50 Cent is using Diddy as his punching bag. Hours after the rap mogul uploaded his apology video to Instagram, the Power executive hopped online to share his thoughts on the matter.
Re-sharing the clip, 50 Cent wrote in the caption what many people are thinking, “This is not going to work, who is advising him right now? SMH bad move.”
The comment section blew up with reactions, with one person saying, “He is only sorry now there is proof and he got caught” and another adding, “If it was sincere you would have said it when the lawsuit first came out.”
Diddy’s private life essentially imploded on Friday (May 17) after CNN published surveillance video of him brutally assaulting Cassie Ventura in 2016. The incident took place at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Diddy’s apology video came with tears and the admission he was at “rock bottom” when the assault occurred.
“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he said. “I was f##### up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”
Ventura’s attorney, Meredith Firetog, slammed Diddy’s apology in a statement, saying, “[Diddy’s] most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,” she said. “When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday. That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”
Cassie Ventura sued Diddy in November 2023, alleging he sexually and physically assaulted her, forced to her engage in “freak offs” and more. They settled out of court in less than 24 hours.
Terrence Howard has sparked intrigue after a conversation with Joe Rogan in which the well-known actor challenged the foundations of modern physics.
Seated across from Rogan and brimming with passion, Howard declared that current physics theories are excessively convoluted and fail to capture the essence of the natural world.
Howard criticized widely accepted principles like gravity, the event horizon and concept of zero, accusing them of distorting our understanding of the universe.
Instead, Howard proposed a paradigm where all motion manifests in waves and curves, transforming into spirals and everything in the cosmos is dynamically interconnected.
Howard severely criticized orthodox physics for its complexities, advocating for a perspective that sees the universe in a state of constant balance and activity dominated by electrical phenomena.
According to Terrence Howard, what is often viewed as magnetism is simply devitalized electricity, with all phenomena describable through electrical interactions.
Howard fervently asserted that his theories, backed by his collection of 97 patents, represent the true laws of the universe. He claimed mainstream physicists are fundamentally mistaken, basing their theories on erroneous understandings of natural laws.
During a previous speech in Uganda, Howard introduced his “new hydrogen technology,” stating it emerged from his purported discovery of the grand unified field equation and its geometric foundation.
The technology, Howard speculated, focuses on the “geometry of hydrogen,” enabling “unlimited bonding” and “predictable structures.”
However, Howard’s claims have been met with substantial skepticism, particularly due to his lack of formal scientific credentials and previous contentious statements about mathematics.
“After listening to Terrence Howard on @joeroganhq I can’t shake the feeling that we may have slipped into the next multi verse,” one user said, while another wrote “Terrence Howard on Rogan is just nuts to hear and totally compelling. Every five minutes I change my mind on if he’s a genius or a madman.”
Despite the doubts, Howard remains steadfast, convinced that the universe validates his physics theories.
ngl lots of what terrence howard is saying off the top of JRE doesnt sound all that insane not knowing much about the underlying science but then he goes 1×1=2 and im like alright nvm
Terrence Howard is like a full-time scientist who also acts. The way he could remember the names of everything and what it does and how it works within a system and everything's purpose and how it fits together…..that was impressive. 👏
One of Cassie Ventura’s attorneys, Meredith Firetog, is speaking out after Diddy (Sean Combs) apologized for his brutal 2016 assault on his former girlfriend. In an Instagram video on Sunday (May 19), the Bad Boy Records mogul claimed he was at “rock bottom” when the incident occurred and quickly sought therapy. But judging by Firetog’s comment, most people aren’t buying it.
In fact, the majority of Hip-Hop fans weighing in have concluded he only apologized because he got caught. Following Ventura’s November 2023 lawsuit, Diddy issued a statement to his Instagram account insisting all of the allegations were simply nothing but an attempt to extort him out of money.
“Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,” she said. “When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday. That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”
CNN released a clip of the 2016 assault, which took place at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, on Friday (May 17). It clearly shows Diddy attacking Ventura, kicking her and dragging her down the hotel. He’s then seen hurling objects at her, corroborating some of the claims Ventura made in court documents.
After days of silence, Diddy resurfaced on social media over the weekend. He said, “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that. I was f##### up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.
“I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”
“All I’m gonna say is… Bruh you made this bed so now you have to lay in it,” one person wrote. “Now when the covers come off and what happens after that is between you & god.. I will say a prayer for you because you need it.. I’m sooo DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.”
When ROI drops a track, you don’t brace for hype—you just press play and let it take you. “For Ya,” his latest single released on May 1st, isn’t here to flex. It’s here to feel. And nobody in Israel does that blend of slow-burn soul and modern R&B textures like ROI does. At this point, it’s safe to say: he’s the blueprint. Not just one of the greats— ROI is hands down the most resonant voice in Israeli R&B today, setting the standard and defining the sound of contemporary Israeli R&B.
A collab with NYC rapper Kaynine the Gawd, “For Ya” unfolds like a conversation across time zones—trap drums with a blues heart, all set in a soundscape that’s part bedroom, part back alley, part midnight prayer. The beat hits soft, but heavy. Ambient synths hum like a slow inhale. Then come the 808s, thick and warm, grounding everything like footsteps in wet pavement.
ROI’s voice floats over it all—grainy in just the right places, smooth where it needs to be, like D’Angelo if he’d grown up in the Negev. His melodies don’t show off—they haunt. It’s all tone, timing, space. Subtle autotune textures give the track some shimmer, but never wash out the grit. The hook slides in with half-sung, half-spoken urgency, like someone saying too much and not enough all at once.
Kaynine cuts in halfway through, flipping the mood. His flow is tight and slightly behind the beat—laid back but locked in—and adds that extra edge of hunger. Their voices play off each other without ever crowding the frame. This is collaboration done right: no fighting for the mic, just two styles orbiting the same mood.
The production—handled by ROI himself with Gaash on mix and design and **Kfir Malka behind the boards—**feels stripped down but intentional. Nothing’s there by accident. You hear looped harmonies tucked into the sides, pads gently sidechained to the kick, and that 808 bass—low, wide, but never bloated. It breathes.
Recorded between Tel Aviv and Beer Sheva, the whole track lives in that in-between space—between genres, between heartbreak and hope, between what’s said and what’s left out. There’s a reason ROI keeps working from home studios: he knows the beauty lives in the imperfections, the warmth, the closeness.
ROI isn’t trying to make a name—he is the name. From being the soloist in the IDF band, to national stages, to collabs with artists like Idan Haviv, Hanan Ben Ari, Amir Dadon, and Itay Levi, he’s been doing this with a kind of quiet certainty that doesn’t need headlines to hold weight. He’s not chasing the spotlight—he’s the reason it turns.
“For Ya” isn’t about bending the genre. It’s about stretching into the corners of it ROI knows best—melancholy, devotion, restraint, control. The groove is tight, the mood is slow-drip, and the message is clear: this isn’t just another artist trying to break through. This is the guy everyone else is borrowing from.
