EXCLUSIVE: Feds Claim Diddy Paid Off Kalenna Harper After Notes Found In His Jail Cell

Federal officials allege that Sean “Diddy” Combs paid off former Dirty Money group member Kalenna Harper after notes recovered from his jail cell suggested financial exchanges for a supportive public statement.

The information was discovered during a nationwide search targeting all Bureau of Prisons facilities.

Investigators claim the language used strongly suggests a payment agreement was made after Harper’s favorable statement on Instagram.

The dramatic claims bring new intrigue to the ongoing legal battle, unfolding as Diddy faces a series of serious accusations, including sex trafficking.

Richard, who filed a lawsuit against Diddy in late 2023, has accused him of various forms of abuse spanning nearly a decade.

The suit also asserts that both Harper and Richard witnessed alleged physical violence against another one of Diddy’s ex-girlfriends, Cassie Ventura.

According to the government’s filings, communication between Diddy and Harper accelerated in the days leading up to her public message.

Harper’s name appeared many times in Richard’s lawsuit against Diddy, a document he allegedly shared with her on September 11, 2024.

The government asserts there were more than 128 total communications between Diddy and Harper during this timeframe, culminating in Harper posting her statement on social media.

“While I fully respect Dawn’s right to recount her experiences,” the post from Harper read, “I want to emphasize that her account reflects her personal perspective and should not be interpreted as a universal truth applicable to everyone involved.”

While Harper has acknowledged Richard’s right to speak her truth, she has consistently refuted the specifics of the allegations.

Harper mentioned that neither she nor her husband witnessed any abusive behavior during their time working with Diddy.

“Many of the claims in that lawsuit do not align with my own experiences,” she stated via Instagram. “My husband and I always conducted ourselves in a professional manner.”

Diddy’s legal team has steadfastly denied Richard’s accusations, stating that “a series of false claims” were thrown together to target their client.

“It’s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try and get money from him, but Mr. Combs is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court,” Diddy’s lawyer Erica Wolff said in a statement.

The government claims the text exchange between Diddy and Harper only added more suspicion.

They argue that the communications, combined with the notes found in Diddy’s jail cell, strongly suggest that Diddy compensated Harper financially after she publicly backed him and rejected Richard’s experiences as unfounded.

Diddy’s next court appearance is set for November 22, where he will make his 5th motion for bond to get out of the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

His trial is set for May 2025.

The Game Slams Mike Tyson Critics Following Jake Paul Loss

Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson took on YouTube personality-turned-boxer Jake Paul on Friday night (November 15). The 58-year-old champ went eight full rounds with Paul, who is more than 30 years younger.

Still, there were seemingly endless critics that had nothing but negative comments to hurl in Tyson’s direction—but The Game wasn’t one of them. Shortly after the fight ended, the “Hate It or Love It” rapper posted on social media in defense of Tyson.

“I see all these weird celebrities n!%%as saying Mike looked bad, this was sad & disgusting etc,” he wrote. “Y’all goofy. I saw a 58 year old legend go 8 rounds with a 27 year old in front of the world in a sold out football stadium n walk away with 20 million dollars,  his dignity & yet another achievement he said was only for HIM. I’m proud of you champ!!!”

His caption read: “@MikeTyson you were my hero as a child & nothing has changed since then for me !!!!! Thank you for your contribution to the culture then & now.”

Mike Tyson is widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. Born in June 1966, Tyson gained fame for his fierce, aggressive boxing style and incredible knockout power. He became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at age 20, when he won the WBC title in 1986.

Known by nicknames such as “Iron Mike” and “The Baddest Man on the Planet,” Tyson unified the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, dominating the division in the late ’80s. His career also had notable controversies, including the infamous 1997 match against Evander Holyfield where Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear.

After retiring from boxing in 2005, Tyson ventured into various fields, including acting, public speaking and launching a successful cannabis business. He has since become a popular public figure, known for his candidness about his life struggles and transformation.

The fight with Jake Paul is being called a “cash grab masquerading as a sporting event.” Paul won by unanimous decision, 80-72, 79-73, 79-73, which didn’t surprise viewers.

“I didn’t prove nothing to anybody, only to myself,” Tyson said after the fight. “I’m not one of those guys that looks to please the world. I’m just happy with what I can do.”

Paul showed respect to Tyson after the fight and the men shared a hugged as they exited the ring. Paul later told reporters, “He is exactly what I thought. He’s an icon. He’s a legend. I wanted to give fans a show. But I didn’t want to hurt someone who didn’t need to be hurt.”

Cam’ron Reveals He Hasn’t Seen Or Spoken To JAY-Z Following “B-Sides 2” New York Concert

Cam’ron is opening up about his last interaction with JAY-Z, and it may serve as a rude awakening for fans who were dreaming of a reunion between the two New York Hip-Hop icons.

Speaking candidly on the latest episode of his Come And Talk To Flee podcast, Cam’ron revealed that he hasn’t spoken to JAY-Z since their performance together at the 2019 B-Sides 2 concert at Webster Hall in New York City. At the time, morale was high as the two rap legends shared the stage for one night only for a historic performance of their anthemic collaboration “Welcome To New York.”

However, since then, there’s been radio silence between the pair. According to Cam, the last communication he had with HOV came the day after the concert when Roc-A-Fella’s Juan Perez reached out on JAY-Z’s behalf.

“Juan hit me after the show, he’s like, ‘Jay, Jay wants your number so he can holler at you,’ It was dope,” Cam’ron shared. “He texts me and says, ‘Yo, that was dope last night, da da da da.’ And I’m like, ‘Yo, man, that was really dope. I appreciate you guys putting this s##t to bed and let’s rock out.'”

But things took an unexpected turn when JAY-Z sent a follow-up message that left Cam a bit puzzled.

“He’s like, ‘Yeah, man, see how much s##t we could do when n###as stop acting like it’s fake beef out here, that s##t slows s##t down.’”

Cam’ron admits he wasn’t sure how to interpret the message, and even years later, he’s still unsure about its meaning.

“I didn’t know how to take that,” he said. “I didn’t know what he meant when he texted that.”

Despite feeling confused by JAY-Z’s words, Cam’ron made it clear that there was no ill will on his part. As for the future, Cam says he hasn’t seen or heard from JAY-Z since that interaction.

“I haven’t seen or spoke to JAY-Z since then,” he said. “I spoke to Juan since then. Juan is cool. So everything that they’re doing, I respect it.”

While Cam’ron made it clear he respects JAY-Z’s hustle and music, he admits he doesn’t know where they stand.

“Are we good? I hope we good,” Cam added. “I don’t know if I see him and we speak cool. If not, it’s not going to make or break what I got going on.”

When it comes to a potential collaboration, Cam’ron says it’s not on the horizon.

“As far as a collab going on, I don’t know what a collab is. I’m not doing music, obviously he’s not doing music, so that’s not really on my plate right now.”

Despite the current silence between the two, Cam’ron and Jay-Z’s relationship is deeply rooted in the history of New York Hip-Hop, and the culture at large. Their bond was solidified with multiple collaborations, including the aforementioned “Welcome to New York City” which became a standout track from Cam’s 2004 album Killa Season. The two also appeared on each other’s projects, with Cam’ron contributing to JAY-Z’s The Blueprint 2 and HOV featuring on Cam’s LP Come Home With Me.

Malcolm X’s Family Files $100M Lawsuit, Alleges Government Role In Assassination

The family of Malcolm X made good on their promise and filed a $100 million lawsuit, accusing federal and New York City government agencies of orchestrating and covering up the assassination of the civil rights icon.

The complaint, filed in Manhattan federal court, alleges the FBI, CIA, NYPD, and others played a direct role in the 1965 killing of Malcolm X and his subsequent wrongful conviction of two innocent men.

“This case is about the corrupt, unlawful, and unconstitutional relationship between law enforcement, including the Defendants herein, and ruthless killers that went unchecked for many years and was actively concealed, condoned, protected, and facilitated by governmental agents,” Shabazz family lawyer Ben Crump said.

The Shabazz family, led by Ilyasah Shabazz as administrator of the estate, claims that the NYPD and federal agencies had prior knowledge of threats to Malcolm X’s life but failed to intervene.

The suit details how government agents intentionally removed security from the ballroom where Malcolm X was murdered, arrested his security detail days before the assassination, and failed to protect him from known harm.

“Malcolm X was deprived of his federal constitutional rights, was robbed of his life and freedom, and sustained severe physical, emotional, and monetary damages,” Crump said.

According to the filing, after the assassination, the FBI and NYPD worked together to cover up their roles in the death of Malcolm X.

The lawsuit claims these agencies manipulated witnesses, suppressed evidence, and contributed to the wrongful conviction of Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam.

“This misconduct caused the incarceration and vilification of these two innocent men,” the lawsuit said.

The wrongful convictions of these men were only recently overturned after an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and the Innocence Project revealed critical failures and intentional cover-ups by law enforcement.

The two men, Aziz, formerly known as Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson, won a $26 million settlement.

The lawsuit also references the 2021 apology by New York County District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, who admitted that the prosecution of Aziz and Islam had been based on “serious, unacceptable violations of law and the public trust” and revealed crucial documents that had been withheld for over 50 years.

Crump emphasized that this suit is part of an ongoing effort to uncover the truth and hold the responsible parties accountable.

This lawsuit seeks $100 million in compensatory and punitive damages as well as legal fees and costs, for the wrongful death of Malcolm X.

The complaint states that the actions of the federal and New York City agencies caused the Shabazz family severe emotional and financial distress, while also depriving them of Malcolm X’s “companionship and his financial, spiritual, emotional, and moral guidance.”

“The Shabazz family has lived their lives without a father and grandfather, along with a cloud of suspicion surrounding his death.” Crump explained.

The filing details the systemic racism and targeted surveillance faced by Malcolm X.

The suit draws from newly uncovered documents and statements made by federal officials, detailing how the FBI and NYPD coordinated efforts to neutralize Malcolm X.

The government, the suit claims, saw Malcolm X as a threat due to his international advocacy for Black liberation.

His vision for Black empowerment and global solidarity made him a target of the FBI’s COINTELPRO program, which sought to discredit and destabilize Black leaders.

The lawsuit concludes with the family’s assertion that justice has long been denied, but with recent developments, they are now demanding accountability from the agencies and individuals responsible for their father’s death.

The Shabazz family hopes the courts will finally provide them with the answers they’ve been seeking for over five decades.

Their goal is not only financial restitution but a full acknowledgment of the government’s role in Malcolm X’s assassination and the subsequent cover-up.

During a press conference last year, Ilyasah Shabazz discussed the legal action.

“For years, our family has fought for the truth to come to light concerning his murder. And we’d like our father to receive the justice that he deserves,” said Shabazz, who was 2 years old when Malcolm was killed as her mother, Dr. Betty Shabazz, and most of her sisters watched on that infamous day on February 21, 1965.

Lil Durk Speaks In First Jail Call Following Transfer To California Prison

An associate of Lil Durk has shared audio of an alleged jail call that could be the Chicago rapper’s first speaking to the public since he was taken into federal custody last month.

On Friday (November 15), Instagram user @900bruhbruh shared a nearly two-minute long video capturing a phone call in which Durk was purportedly on the other end of. During the call, the man asked Lil Durk if he needed anything, but the “All My Life” lyricist assured him he was ok and his spirits were high.

Durk also appeared to deny that he was in protective custody and seemingly explained to the caller that he was being treated somewhat favorably by the other inmates in general population. In the caption of the video, the Instagram user both expressed his support for Lil Durk, and petitioned for his freedom on the grounds of the standout character the multi-platinum rapper possesses.

“Just got off the phone with my brudda @lildurk he in good spirits staying positive and fighting to get back home to his kids and family,” 900bruhbruh wrote in the caption of the post. “We not glorifying negativity,we’re more than just street guys. that’s actually a understatement we’re men of honor & code no matter our financial status..bro hit the Mainline with the rest of our kind…NO PC #FREESMURK #FREETRIGGAROME.”

While it is somewhat unclear how the man is connected to Lil Durk, posts from his profile show his clear ties to Durkio’s Only The Family (OTF) label. In addition to collaborating with OTF rappers, such as Bonnie Moe, the man has also shared photos with Booka 600 and Durk himself. In a carousel post he shared in 2022, the man thanked Lil Durk for giving him an opportunity to chase his dreams when he was apparently just a content creator, at the time.

“On This same day 2 years ago I was in the ‘back seat’ goin on skitz now I’m ‘back stage’ goin on tour,” the user wrote. “Blood solid as they come @lildurk 4eva LOYAL BROS shot by @crownsoheavy.”

Prior to the video of the call being posted, Lil Durk appeared in federal court in Los Angeles for his arraignment following his extradition from Florida to face charges related to the alleged murder-for-hire plot he was arrested over last month.

Lil Durk plead not guilty to conspiracy, murder-for-hire and firearms charges. He faces life in prison if convicted. The judge reportedly set Durk’s trial date for January 7, 2025, with a bond hearing set for December 12. Lil Durk was initially arrested on murder-for-hire charges before being hit with two additional felonies

Dame Dash’s Roc-A-Fella Shares Purchased By New York State For $1M To Cover His Tax Debts

New York State has officially taken possession of Dame Dash’s one-third share of the legendary Roc-A-Fella Records after placing the winning bid at auction.

On Thursday (November 14), the state took over ownership of the shares after winning the bidding war with a bid of $1 million. The winning creditors bid allows The State to sell the shares of the company at no risk, without fronting the $1 million they were auctioned off for.

New York State bought the shares with the intention to recoup the staggering $8.7 million in back taxes owed by Dash. According to The New York Post, an anonymous bidder from Albany placed the winning bid at the federal auction, sending shockwaves through the hip-hop world. Now, New York State holds the keys to part of the iconic empire that produced hits like “Hard Knock Life” and “99 Problems,” as Dash’s financial woes continue to spiral.

“The auction is over, but the work is not complete,” said Chris Brown, attorney for the plaintiffs to whom Dash owes money.

Dash’s unresolved debts include unpaid taxes as well as over $193,000 in child support to New York City. And while the state now owns the stake, it’s still unclear when or how they plan to resell it to settle the debts. As Brown adds, “Mr. Dash’s legacy is now New York State property,” which could mean a new chapter in Roc-A-Fella’s storied history.

Two other anonymous bidders tried—and failed—to outbid the state, with offers of $250,000 and $223,000. But the drama doesn’t stop there. JAY-Z, who famously co-founded the label with Dash, threw a wrench in the auction earlier this year when he claimed ownership of Roc-A-Fella’s biggest asset—his debut album Reasonable Doubt. JAY-Z said the full rights to the album would revert to him in 2031, casting doubt on the auction’s future value. However, New York City officials quickly shut down his claim, calling it “false and damaging” to the auction’s ability to generate enough funds to cover Dash’s massive debts.

As if the saga couldn’t get any crazier, Dash’s lawyer, Natraj Bhushan, expressed surprise that JAY-Z himself didn’t show up to the auction, which took place at The Ink Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan.

“I was shocked,” Bhushan said, noting that JAY-Z, real name Shawn Carter, had a clear stake in the outcome.

Founded in 1995 by Jay-Z, Damon Dash, and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, Roc-A-Fella quickly rose from a small independent label to one of the most influential names in hip-hop. With Jay-Z leading the charge, Reasonable Doubt (1996) became the catalyst for the label’s success, with the album now regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop records of all time. The label went on to produce a string of multi-platinum hits, with Jay-Z’s The Blueprint and The Black Album further solidifying Roc-A-Fella’s position at the top of the rap game. By the mid-2000s, Roc-A-Fella had become synonymous with not just music but fashion, business, and lifestyle, thanks to Dash’s entrepreneurial vision. The label was home to groundbreaking artists like Kanye West, Beanie Sigel, and Cam’ron, who helped shape both the sound and the culture of hip-hop. With over 70 million albums sold worldwide, the label’s impact on music was undeniable.

SIGNS: Donald Trump Sparks “White Reparations” Controversy

In a stunning move, Donald Trump’s new announcement about cracking down on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives has sparked furious debate across the country.

Many Americans are accusing Trump of trying to pay “reparations” to whites who feel they’ve been victims of so-called “reverse discrimination” in education. In a newly released video that sent social media into a tailspin, Trump proposed a framework of fines for schools and colleges offering curriculum rooted in DEI. In turn, he plans to use the money from the fines for a restitution fund available to compensate civil cases brought by victims of DEI.

“Tuition costs at colleges and universities have been exploding, and I mean absolutely exploding,” Donald Trump said in part. “While academics have been obsessed with indoctrinating America’s youth, the time has come to reclaim our once-great educational institutions from the radical left, and we will do that. Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system.

He continued, pointing fingers at what he called “radical left accreditors” allowing “anti-American” and “Marxist” ideologies to run rampant on campuses. He doubled down on his disdain for DEI programs, which he claims only serve to “indoctrinate” young minds while adding unnecessary costs to higher education. Trump vowed to turn the tables by making the college accreditation system his “secret weapon,” in targeting institutions that promote DEI policies.

The controversial proposal doesn’t end there. Trump added he would enlist the Department of Justice to pursue civil rights actions against institutions he claims practice “racial discrimination” under the guise of equity policies. The plan would authorize heavy fines or even reductions in endowments, creating what some say is an unprecedented war on DEI in education. And while Trump stopped short of directly calling it “reparations,” the subtext was enough to spark widespread backlash.

One critic posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), “Trump is about to pay reparations to white people who have suffered ‘racial discrimination’ due to ‘diversity initiatives.’ This is exactly why ideas such as ‘Black people can be racist toward Whites’ have to be shut down. They’re about to institutionalize that.”

Another user chimed in, writing, “Trump announces reparations for white people. He says he will ask the Justice Department to penalize colleges that consider diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and fine them so he can pay ‘restitution’ to white people who he considers the real victims of racial discrimination.”

This move aligns Trump with other GOP leaders targeting DEI initiatives. Just recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law that similarly clamps down on DEI programs in public schools and universities across the state. A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) curriculum is an educational framework designed to promote awareness, understanding, and respect for diverse backgrounds, identities, and perspectives. It aims to create inclusive learning environments where all students feel valued and supported, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or other aspects of identity. A DEI curriculum typically includes lessons and discussions on social justice, empathy, and cultural sensitivity, encouraging students to be critical thinkers and compassionate community members. This kind of curriculum may also cover topics like historical inequities, privilege, unconscious bias, and strategies for fostering inclusive workplaces and communities.

Ray J Explains How—& Why—He Tried To Kill Himself In Cancun

Ray J has always been a figure of intrigue, but in a candid and raw conversation with Pastor Jamal Bryant, he peeled back the layers of his struggles, including a near-suicide attempt, his complicated public persona, and his journey of growth.

The singer and entrepreneur revealed one of his darkest moments during a stay in Cancun, Mexico.

“I climbed off the roof and I went off to the side of the roof, and I just laid down,” Ray J confessed. “If I fall off, then it was meant to be.”

He described lying there for hours, contemplating the precipice between life and death, before eventually being found and rescued by hotel staff.

The chilling admission highlighted the silent battles he faced while keeping up appearances for the cameras.

Ray J admitted that his public image had been both a blessing and a curse, often defining him in ways that felt untrue.

“I’ve lied about my whole life,” he said, reflecting on the facade he maintained for the sake of fame.

Living under constant scrutiny, he shared how the public’s perception of him as a character overshadowed the truth.

“People don’t know the intelligence behind the whole setup of everything,” he noted, alluding to the complex balancing act of being a businessman and a public figure.

Despite being controversial, Ray J acknowledged that his past mistakes were a learning experience.

“Throughout my mistakes, people have probably made mistakes too,” he said, expressing hope that his transparency could resonate with others. “I’ve always been willing to hold myself accountable, be apologetic, and take the L.”

Pastor Bryant, echoing the sentiment, encouraged him to embrace his transformation.

“You’ve outlived the past,” the pastor said, a statement that struck a chord with Ray J. The conversation also revealed his commitment to his children, emphasizing his desire to leave behind a legacy rooted in truth.

“I want my kids to live through my truth,” Ray J declared, visibly emotional, when referencing his children with Princess Love. “Not through the speculations of this and that.”

The conversation wasn’t all heavy; it had moments of lightness and humor, like when the pair referenced Future in an attempt to name drugs that helped people fight depression.

The New Reality For Mike Tyson And Boxing As A Sport

Few figures in sports evoke the visceral reactions that Mike Tyson does. He’s been larger than life, from his rise as one of the most feared men in boxing – the youngest heavy weight champ – to his unpredictable behavior.

Now, as he prepares for a heavyweight bout against social media sensation Jake Paul, fans and critics alike are asking the same question: Can the Iron Mike of yesterday still hold his own in the ring today?

This fight tells us two important things about Tyson’s current mindset. First, his raw intensity—equal parts thrilling and worrisome—is still intact. Second, the years spent away from professional competition may finally catch up with him. While his infamous unpredictability once made him a nightmare for opponents and a challenge for interviewers, it now casts a shadow of uncertainty over his ability to perform.

Tyson’s Dangerous Energy

Recent press conferences have shown glimpses of a Tyson who appears disinterested and detached. Sitting silently, seemingly bored, Tyson has looked more like a spectator than a contender. For fans of the legendary fighter, this demeanor is troubling. At 58 years old, the prospect of him stepping back into the ring after decades away raises serious concerns. We’ve seen this before. Evander Holyfield’s disastrous return at a similar age against Vitor Belfort was a stark reminder that time spares no one—not even the greatest athletes.

For Tyson, the risks are compounded by his lifestyle over the past two decades. Publicly, he has acknowledged weight gain, recreational drug use, and periods of physical neglect. These habits, combined with the natural decline in athleticism that comes with age, could significantly impact his ability to withstand punches. The truth is, punch resistance—the ability to absorb hits without succumbing—does not improve with time. It deteriorates.

The Slap Heard Around the World

Tyson’s recent slap of Jake Paul, whether calculated or impulsive, speaks volumes about his mental state. In a way, Tyson is like a cornered bear being poked and prodded. The tension and emotion surrounding this fight seem to be boiling over, and that slap was a visceral release. It also sets the tone for what Tyson plans to bring into the ring: unfiltered aggression.

But aggression alone won’t secure a victory. Tyson’s plan appears simple—go straight for the knockout. This is classic Tyson, but also a risky gamble. His legendary head movement and explosive punches may not be as effective as they once were. If Jake Paul, who has shown surprising power in previous fights, lands a clean punch, the outcome could be devastating for the boxing icon.

The Legacy at Stake

For fans, the thought of Tyson losing to a YouTuber turned boxer may feel like a betrayal of the sport’s history. But this is not the Tyson of the late 1980s. Time, lifestyle, and a two-decade hiatus have inevitably taken their toll. If Tyson rushes in carelessly, he risks walking into a counterpunch that could end the fight—and potentially tarnish his legacy.

That said, Tyson’s unpredictable nature also makes him dangerous, especially in the early rounds. His ferocity could overwhelm Jake Paul before the younger fighter has a chance to find his rhythm. But as the fight progresses, Tyson’s stamina and durability will be tested in ways that may expose the limits of his comeback.

A Clash of Eras

Ultimately, this fight is not just about Tyson versus Paul—it’s about the clash of two eras. On one side, we have a living legend trying to reclaim his glory. On the other, a modern-day disruptor looking to solidify his credibility in the sport. Regardless of the outcome, this fight underscores the evolving nature of boxing, where legacy and entertainment intersect in unprecedented ways.

As the world watches, one thing is certain: Mike Tyson remains as captivating as ever. Whether he triumphs or falls, his journey is a testament to the enduring mystique of a man who once ruled the ring—and still commands our attention.

Lil Nas X Accused Of Stealing Album Artwork

Lil Nas X is facing accusations of borrowing album artwork without proper credit as a fellow artist calls out similarities between visuals for Lil Nas’ album Dreamboy and a 2021 single.

Sega Bodega, an electronic music creator, took to X to point out nearly identical elements between Lil Nas X’s album cover and the artwork for Bodega’s song “Angel on My Shoulder.”

In both images, a dimly lit, wood-paneled room features an artist seated in front of an aged desktop, with a glowing figure standing behind them.

Bodega expressed his frustration, tweeting, “Not even trying to put a spin on it is where I’m like yeesh… Anyway stream ‘Angel on My Shoulder.’”

His comments stirred debate among fans, some of whom rushed to Lil Nas X’s defense.

However, Bodega clarified that his issue was not necessarily the similarities themselves, but rather the lack of formal recognition for the concept he helped create.

Lil Nas X’s supporters were quick to point out that the “Old Town Road” singer had previously shared an acknowledgment of the resemblance on Instagram Stories, referring to “Angel on My Shoulder” as an inspiration or “ref” for the Dreamboy artwork.

However, this gesture fell short for Bodega, who argued that a 24-hour disappearing Instagram Story did not count as legitimate credit, especially without directly naming him or photographer Aidan Zamiri, who shot the “Angel on My Shoulder” cover.

To add fuel to the fire, one fan labeled Bodega “ungrateful” for his complaints, suggesting Lil Nas X should retract any credit altogether.

Bodega responded, saying, “That’s literally what he did… there is no credit.”

Lil Nas X released “Light Again,” the next single from Dreamboy, on Friday, but the emerging tension over artistic ownership adds controversy to what would otherwise be a routine promotion.

6ix9ine Ordered To Get Full-Time Job

Rapper 6ix9ine has been hit with stringent conditions for his supervised release following his 45-day stint in jail for violating the terms of his probation.

6ix9ine, who was facing decades in prison due to a RICO case with members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, was initially given a two-year prison sentence for his role in cooperating with the feds against the gang.

The rapper committed multiple infractions while he was on the loose, including failing drug tests, failing to report to his probation officer, getting into several skirmishes and traveling from Florida to Las Vegas without permission.

In addition to the 45 days, Judge Paul Engelmayer extended his probation by one year, put him on electronic monitoring and gave him one year of home confinement.

On Thursday (November 14), Judge Engelmayer​ issued more restrictions on 6ix9ine.

The rapper must work full-time at a lawful job unless excused by his probation officer and must inform the officer of any changes to his employment. ​

He must live at a location approved by his probation officer and notify the officer of any changes to his living arrangements at least 10 days in advance. ​

The conditions also prohibit 6ix9ine from communicating with individuals involved in criminal activities or those convicted of felonies without prior permission from his probation officer. ​

He is barred from owning or possessing firearms, ammunition, or any dangerous weapons. ​

Furthermore, 6ix9ine must notify his probation officer within 72 hours if he is arrested or questioned by law enforcement. ​

6ix9ine is also required to participate in an outpatient mental health program and continue taking prescribed medications unless otherwise directed by a healthcare provider. ​

He must provide his probation officer with access to any requested financial information and perform 300 hours of community service, completing these obligations at least 30 days before his supervised release term ends. ​

After the initial 90 days, he must notify his probation officer and receive permission to travel outside his district. ​

Additionally, 6ix9ine must surrender his passport within three business days of returning to his district and is barred from applying for new travel documents or traveling internationally during his supervised release. ​

He will also undergo drug testing and participate in an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment program as directed by his probation officer. ​

These stringent conditions reflect the court’s effort to ensure 6ix9ine’s compliance with the law and his successful reintegration into society following his release from prison.

Stevie J Claims Diddy “Was Doing A Lot Of Drugs” When He Assaulted Cassie Ventura 

Stevie J is shedding light on Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ reaction to the footage of him brutally beating ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura being released, claiming the embattled mogul was forced to relive “the darkest point in his life.” 

In TMZ’s The Downfall of Diddy documentary, the longtime Bad Boy producer admitted he was shocked and hurt to see the disturbing video of his friend attacking Ventura.  

Stevie J said he visited Diddy in Miami shortly after the footage surfaced for a candid discussion. He claimed Diddy was “crushed” that his female relatives got to witness his horrific actions. 

“It was a real emotional moment,” he explained. “He was hurt that that video came out, it crushed him. Because he was like, ‘Yo my daughter’s and my mom gotta see this.'” 

The producer added, “And I was like, ‘Yeah, your friends gotta see it too.’”

Stevie J Claims Diddy “Was In A Dark Place”

According to Stevie J, Diddy was equally hurt by the video becoming public as he was by his own behavior.  

“What he did on the video, he couldn’t believe that was the darkest point in his life.” He added. He had to relive that and see that again, with his ex-girlfriend of 10 years. Who wants to see themselves beating on a girl in a video? I think that would kind of hurt all of us, any man.” 

Echoing Diddy’s apology after the video came out, Stevie J asserted, “He was in a dark place in his life.” 

He also claimed Diddy “was just doing a lot of drugs and it was dark for him.” 

The Bad Boy Entertainment addressed the harrowing footage several days after it was released. 

“I was f##### up—I hit rock bottom—but I make no excuses,” he said in a video. “My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.” 

Diddy has remained behind bars since his arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. His trial is scheduled for May 2025. 

Stevie J is named in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones lawsuit against Diddy. He is accused of being part of the so-called “Combs Enterprise,” an alleged criminal organization involved in an array of illegal activities, including sex trafficking and drug-related crimes. He allegedly carried guns for Diddy and recruited women for prostitution

Mike Tyson Crushes Little Kid’s Hopes, 50 Cent Reacts

50 Cent is poking fun at Mike Tyson while praising a young reporter following a viral interview ahead of the Boxing legend’s fight with Jake Paul

On Thursday (November 14), 14-year-old reporter Jazlyn Guerra, known as Jazzy’s World TV, asked Mike Tyson about the legacy he would like to leave behind. 

However, Tyson, in fight mode ahead of Friday’s clash with Paul, didn’t mince his words, sharing a very dark answer. 

“I don’t believe in the word legacy. I just think it’s another word for ego,” he replied. “Legacy doesn’t mean nothing. That’s just some word everyone grabbed onto. … It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through. I’ma die and it’s gon’ to be over. Who cares about legacy after that?   

“What a big ego. I want people to think I’m this, I’m great. No, I’m nothing. We’re just dead. We’re dust, we’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.”   

Like a pro,  Jazzy took his response in her stride, thanking Tyson for his unique answer. However, Tyson wasn’t finished.   

“Can you really imagine somebody saying: ‘I really want my legacy to be this way’ … you’re dead?” he added.  “You think someone really wants to think about you? Where’s the audacity – I want people to think about me when I’m gone. Who the f### cares about me when I’m gone?”

Suge Knight Implies Diddy & Snoop Dogg Were Intimate, Makes Bombshell Claims About USHER, Justin Bieber 

Suge Knight is making shocking allegations about Sean “Diddy” Combs, implying the Bad Boy Entertainment founder had an intimate relationship with Snoop Dogg, sexually assaulted USHER and groomed Justin Bieber. 

The former Death Row Records CEO, who has a long-standing enmity with Diddy, has shared numerous theories about the embattled mogul amid the allegations. During his most recent jailhouse interview with reformed mobster Michael Franzese, Knight made some bombshell claims, implying that Diddy and Snoop Dogg were much more than friends. 

“Snoop and Puffy were so close,” he claimed. “Closer than close, closer than most. They would do things together and party together and do things that it was uncomfortable for two men to be that way.” 

From there, Knight went on to accuse Diddy of abusing USHER.  

“Everybody knows what Puffy did. There’s not one person that didn’t know that Puffy was f###### USHER,” Knight said.  

Elsewhere in the interview, he added, “The crazy thing about it is like… his mother and everybody else said the same thing. Well, it was wrong. But if we go get Puffy in trouble behind that, USHER wouldn’t be USHER. He’d be known as a guy molested by Puffy. And they didn’t want that. They wanted money.” 

He then made some wild claims about Diddy and Justin Bieber. 

“It was the saddest thing in the world what they did to Justin Bieber,” he added. “They had sex with him. I hate to say that because I really like Justin Bieber. I feel bad for Justin Bieber.” 

Knight continued, arguing that Bieber “could have been bigger than Michael Jackson, but the depression of the drugs and the stuff, what [Diddy] allowed these grown men to do to this little boy was unhealthy and f##### up. No grown men supposed to be getting high and doing drugs and drinking with kids.” 

According to Knight, Diddy would send Bieber to “romantic islands” with older men. 

“He had grown men would take Justin Bieber when he was young to a romantic vacation, showing pictures on Instagram with no women — nobody else but grown, successful men and this little kid,” he claimed. “Not only is it a bad look, it’s sad.”

Offset Wild Paris Street Brawl Allegedly Over $150K Video Shoot 

Offset and his entourage got into a major brawl with a French rapper’s crew, sparking chaos on the streets of Paris. 

Video surfaced online showing the Atlanta native in a violent altercation with members of rapper Gazo’s entourage on Wednesday night (November 13), outside Hôtel du Collectionneur in the French capital.  

Before hands and feet were thrown, Offset was among a group of men arguing in the hotel lobby before the argument spilled out to the roadside. According to TMZ, Gazo and his crew were upset over Offset’s appearance in a music video.  

The former Migos rapper apparently wasn’t up to scratch, and they demanded back their $150,000 payment. Tempers flared after he refused to do so, sparking a fiery exchange.  

 “I’ll fire your ass up” Offset can be heard saying as his security guard attempts to restrain him against a vehicle. However, a man appears to put hands on Offset, further escalating tensions.  

Offset then yells at his security, “Let me go!” after one man takes a kick to the head. “He’s swinging on my people, let me go!” 

Offset eventually escapes the security guard’s clutches and kicks his target before being bundled back into the hotel.  

The brawl continued outside as the French rapper’s crew attempted to get to Offset, who was still in the lobby. One woman smashed her head on the pavement as men attempted to rush the door.  

Officers arrived at the scene but reportedly left without making any arrests. 

Hours later, despite the brawl, Gazo posted a photo of him and Offset hanging out. He also shared the tracklist for his upcoming album, featuring Offset on “Wemby.”

Lil Durk Enters Plea In Murder-For-Hire Case

Lil Durk has appeared in federal court in Los Angeles for his arraignment following his extradition from Florida to face charges related to an alleged murder-for-hire plot. 

On Thursday (November 14), Lil Durk pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, murder-for-hire and firearms charges. He faces life in prison if convicted. 

The judge reportedly set Durk’s trial date for January 7, 2025, with a bond hearing set for December 12.  

Lil Durk was initially arrested on murder-for-hire charges before being hit with two additional felonies.  

50 Cent Reacts To Lil Durk Hiring Drew Findling

The “All My Life” hitmaker hired Drew Findling, the attorney for multiple Hip-Hop stars, sparking a positive reaction from 50 Cent. 

“Lil Durk got Drew Findling on the case he sharp,” he wrote on Instagram. “If they didn’t cross their T’s and dot their i’s he gonna hit the bricks again.”

Findling has worked for a plethora of rappers, including Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Migos, Da Baby and Waka Flocka Flame. He even represented Donald Trump. Offset once claimed Findling was the “biggest lawyer in the game,” while 50 Cent urged YFN Lucci to hire him against gang activity charges. 

“They talking about an offer for 20 years, then 20 years goes to an offer,” 50 Cent said. “And I go, ‘Yo Drew, is this real? 20 muthafuckin’ years?’ And he said, ‘Don’t worry about it, I got it. Everything will be alright.’ Next thing you know, 20 years turns into four months. You need a lawyer, muthafucka? You need Drew Findling.” 

Prosecutors accuse Lil Durk of ordering a hit on Quando Rondo, resulting in the 2022 shooting death of Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab. Lil Durk’s co-conspirators—Kavon Grant, Deandre Wilson, Keith Jones, David Lindsey, and Asa Houston—were also indicted for their suspected involvement in this murder-for-hire plot.  

“Mr. Banks is charged with orchestrating a cold-blooded murder that resulted in the death of a rival’s family member,” U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said. “Not only that, the shooting occurred in the open, at a gas station at a busy intersection, endangering many others in the area.” 

Kanye West Accused Of Having Sex With Wife Bianca Censori Within Earshot Of Employee 

Kanye West had sex with his wife Bianca Censori within earshot of staff, spewed antisemitic conspiracy theories about ex-wife Kim Kardashian and showed off his s####### shirt, according to a new lawsuit filed by a former employee. 

According to the filing, Murphy Aficionado worked for Ye as a project manager between October 2022 and July 2023 but was not paid for the first five months of his employment. 

He alleges West often delivered “racist lectures,” and touted antisemitic conspiracies about the Kardashians. 

Aficionado alleges West told him, “The Jews are out to get me,” and claimed, “They froze my bank account. The Jews got Kim and my kids… The Jews convinced Kim. She has Jewish masters.” 

Elsewhere in the lawsuit, Aficionado recalls Kanye West inviting him to a Beverly Hills hotel room in November 2022. When he arrived, it appeared Ye and Censori, who was topless with her hands covering her breasts, had just had sex. Aficionado claims the rapper was out of breath, shirtless and his pants were unfastened.  

During the same supposed work meeting, West rushed to Censori’s room after ordering his former employee not to leave. Moments later, Aficionado claims he heard “loud moaning and clapping,” making it obvious the couple were having sex again.  

Kanye West Flexed Images Of Nude Kim Kardashian, Lawsuit Alleges

When West returned, he was wearing a shirt with a s####### and asked Aficionado if he liked it before showing him naked photos of Kim Kardashian. 

The suit also details another hotel room meeting where he arrived to find West and a well-known NFL wide receiver preparing for massages. West again told the ex-staffer to wait, and Aficionado claims he heard Ye, and later the NFL star, apparently having sex with the masseuse.  

Aficionado is suing West for discrimination, hostile work environment, retaliation and non-payment of wages. 

Kanye West faces multiple lawsuits from former employees. He reportedly skipped out on a deposition last week relating to a former security guard’s complaint alleging racial bias and improper workplace actions. 

Additionally, Lauren Pisciotta, a former assistant, sued him for sexual harassment and wrongful termination earlier this year. 

Why Did Mike Tyson Slap Fire Out Of Jake Paul? And Was It Real?

If you watched the weigh-in for the Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul fight, you know sparks were flying.

In a shocking move, Mike Tyson slapped the fire out of Jake Paul. Although it didn’t physically hurt Jake, it set off a chain reaction, leading to Jake saying he wanted to “kill Mike.” But what led to this dramatic slap?

Sources have given us the scoop. Jake got right up in Mike’s face—a typical move for him. However, Mike was barefoot at the weigh-in, and Jake stepped on Mike’s bare foot. This misstep triggered an epic slap that even Dana White would respect.

Sources tell me Mike isn’t playing around, and that’s what led to the slap. Jake’s now fired up too. Tomorrow’s showdown is going to be wild!

Oh, and by the way, the “Hawk Tua” girl made an appearance, drawing plenty of attention. She seemed very “Hollywood,” refusing to take pictures with fans. Does she know she’s famous for just one thing? Anyway, that’s that.

Tomorrow, Mike and Jake will face off in a good ol’-fashioned scrap. In 24 hours, that slap might just be history.

Cardi B Aligns With Oprah In Denying Payment For Kamala Harris Endorsement

Cardi B is doubling down on her previous statement addressing inquiries about whether or not she received payment for her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election.

On Thursday (November 14), the “Press” rapper took a moment to respond to political commentator Candace Owens after she questioned Cardi about any forms of payment she may have received in exchange for her support.

Though she previously addressed the topic earlier this month, immediately following her appearance at Harris’ campaign rally event in Milwaukee, she proceeded to clear the air, once again, assuring Owens that her political engagement could not be bought.

“I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three!!” Cardi B exclaimed in the tweet. She then revealed she actually spent some of her own funds in order to make her appearance at the rally possible.

“I actually came out of pocket for glam and travel because it’s somewhere I wanted to be,” she said.
“Like please girl you know damn well I’ll argue you down about politics FOR FREE.”

Cardi B previously shut down rumors that she was paid an exorbitant fee for her appearance at the rally in a similar tweet in response to a user who claimed she didn’t write her speech in addition to being paid for her likeness.

“I actually been talking about all of these topics for these past couple years FOR FREE on my ALL my platforms,” she wrote in part in the tweet. “Before I was a celebrity I was a product of poverty for 24 years so you’re not gonna tell me what I want to see in MY community.”

Cardi B’s latest remarks follow a recent statement from Oprah, who also endorsed Harris, in which the talkshow legend and media mogul also denied receiving payment for her appearance with the vice president on her campaign trail.

Additionally, rumors are swirling that Harris’ campaign ended with a $20 million deficit, despite the fact the Vice President raised a record $1 billion in funding throughout the entirety of the campaign.

Fashion Forward: How Student Blogs are Redefining Campus Style Trends

Fashion on college campuses has always been a dynamic and expressive arena where personal style meets public spectacle. In recent years, the traditional influencers of campus fashion—glossy magazines and professional designers—have seen a shift towards a new kind of style authority: the student blogger. These bloggers harness the power of digital platforms to shape and share the latest trends directly from the sidewalks of academia. Through their blogs, students are not just dressing for the day; they’re redefining what fashion means in a student environment, making it more inclusive, accessible, and aligned with the unique rhythms of college life.

The Rise of the Student Fashion Blogger

Student fashion bloggers are increasingly becoming key players in shaping style narratives on campuses across the globe. Unlike mainstream fashion media, which often caters to a broad, sometimes impersonal audience, student bloggers offer a personalized glimpse into the day-to-day fashion choices that resonate with their peers. These blogs are curated with an intimate understanding of student budgets, lifestyles, and the need for versatility between classes, internships, and social activities.

Blogs like “Campus Chic” and “Dorm Room Runway” provide more than just fashion advice; they create a sense of community among students who seek to express their identity through their wardrobe choices. Furthermore, these platforms offer practical tips on how to maximize a minimal wardrobe, transform daytime outfits into night-time looks, and maintain style within student budget constraints. For those wondering how to balance a passion for fashion with their academic load, finding a service that aligns with their needs, such as thinking, “I need to write my paper for me,” can provide the perfect solution, freeing up time to focus on creating impactful content that continues to influence campus trends. Some of these blogs even extend their support to areas like time management, productivity tips, or help writing college papers, ensuring students can juggle both creativity and coursework effectively.

Digital Catwalks: Showcasing Campus Fashion

On the digital catwalks of student blogs, everyday campus pathways turn into fashion runways. Student fashion bloggers excel in capturing and showcasing real-time, real-life fashion as it happens on the grounds of their universities. Posts often feature “outfit of the day” snapshots, thrift store treasures, and seasonal wardrobe essentials, making high fashion accessible and relatable to the student body.

These blogs also serve as a platform for fashion experimentation and expression, allowing students to push boundaries and explore new styles without fear of judgment. The visual nature of blogs and accompanying social media channels like Instagram or Pinterest amplifies this impact, creating visual lookbooks that students can scroll through for inspiration. Popular features such as “Thrift Flips” show how to take second-hand clothes and revamp them into trendy pieces, reflecting a growing interest in sustainable fashion among the youth. This move towards sustainability is not just a trend but a reflection of the changing values of the younger generation, which values creativity and ethical considerations in fashion.

Through their blogs, students are crafting a new narrative in fashion, one that speaks directly to the needs and desires of their peers. They are not just following trends; they are setting them, making the fashion landscape on campuses vibrant and ever-evolving.

Influence on Purchasing Decisions

Student fashion bloggers wield a significant influence on the purchasing decisions of their peers. Their recommendations often sway fellow students on where and what to buy, making them pivotal trendsetters on campus. These bloggers frequently collaborate with brands—ranging from affordable local boutiques to major international labels—that seek to tap into the college demographic. Such partnerships are mutually beneficial: brands gain access to a targeted audience, and bloggers receive content that resonates with their followers, sometimes accompanied by perks like free merchandise or sponsorship deals.

The effect of these collaborations extends beyond mere product promotion. Bloggers often curate specific looks or collections, influencing the seasonal trends seen across campus. For instance, a blogger might feature a “Back-to-School Essentials” series, which quickly becomes the go-to style guide for incoming freshmen or returning students. This influence makes student bloggers a powerful marketing force within the fashion industry, particularly in the context of peer-driven consumerism.

Sustainability and Ethics in Fashion

A significant shift seen through student fashion blogs is the emphasis on sustainability and ethical practices within the fashion industry. Many student bloggers advocate for responsible fashion consumption, promoting brands that are environmentally friendly and ethically produced. This shift reflects a broader awareness among the younger generation about the impacts of fast fashion on the planet and its workers.

Student blogs often feature posts about sustainable fashion practices, such as upcycling old clothes, choosing vegan and organic fabrics, and supporting local artisans and fair-trade companies. These bloggers not only discuss the importance of these practices but also demonstrate how they can be integrated into everyday student life. For example, a blog might run a month-long challenge featuring only outfits made from recycled materials, showing readers that sustainable fashion can also be stylish and affordable.

Challenges and Critiques

Despite their influence and benefits, student fashion bloggers face several challenges. Balancing the time demands of both blogging and academic responsibilities is a primary concern. Creating content can be time-consuming, involving not just writing posts or shooting videos, but also editing, marketing, and engaging with followers. This juggling act can sometimes lead to burnout or affect academic performance. In such situations, turning to a professional paper writer can be a valuable solution for managing academic workloads while maintaining their creative pursuits.

Additionally, student bloggers often face criticism for promoting consumerism. Critics argue that while these blogs are influential, they also encourage excessive spending and focus on materialism. Bloggers navigate this critique by promoting budget-friendly and sustainable fashion choices and by discussing the role of fashion in self-expression and identity rather than as merely a tool for social status.

Moreover, issues like online harassment and cyberbullying are prevalent, particularly when bloggers take bold stances on issues like sustainability or ethical fashion. Navigating these negative aspects requires resilience and, often, a support network of fellow bloggers and empathetic followers.

Conclusion

Student fashion blogs are more than just digital spaces for sharing style tips—they are influential platforms that redefine campus style trends and promote substantial shifts toward sustainability and ethical consumerism. These bloggers shape not only what their peers wear but also how they think about fashion in terms of its broader social, economic, and environmental impacts.

As the digital world continues to evolve, so too will the role of student fashion bloggers. With each post and video, they are crafting a new fashion narrative that prioritizes accessibility, ethics, and personal expression. Looking ahead, the impact of these bloggers is set to expand, promising a future where fashion is not only about looking good but also about doing good, making a statement that resonates both on and off campus.
