Diddy Finally Gives Ma$e His Publishing Rights Back Cam’ron Says—And That’s Not All

Ma$e and Diddy have been feuding for years, but it looks like the former Bad Boy Records artist now has at least one reason to smile. According to an Instagram post from Cam’ron, Diddy—who founded Bad Boy Records in 1993—finally returned Ma$e’s publishing, which had been the main point of contention. Cam’ron also seized the opportunity to announce his next project, The Lost Files Vol. 1, will arrive on Friday (September 8).

As he explained in the caption, “My n### murder had to sit this one out. He just got his publishing back from Puff. Just finished the paper work for that yesterday. Congrats @rsvpmase while he getting his music back in order, I’m dumping my hard drive pause. The lost files vol 1. Sept 8.”

Per TMZ, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Sources say Diddy is handing over the publishing rights to several of his former Bad Boy acts—not just Ma$e. Faith Evans, The LOX, 112 and the Notorious B.I.G.’s estate are reportedly among the many benefiting from Diddy’s unexpected generosity. He’s also paying the writers who were working with him, too. Diddy was supposedly offered millions for the entire Bad Boy catalog, but he opted to take another route.

Rumors Diddy is a conniving, tyrannical businessman have run rampant for decades. In fact, Dave Chappelle even made a skit about it (remember “Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan?). In 2020, Ma$e accused Diddy of snatching his publishing for way less than it was worth while calling foul on his Grammy Awards speech that focused on the alleged shady practices of the Recording Academy.

“@diddy I heard your #Grammy speech about how u are now for the artist and about how the artist must take back control,” he said on Instagram. “So I will be the first to take that initiative. Also, before we ask of other ethnicities to do us right we should do us as black people better. Especially the creators. I heard u loud and clear when u said that u are now for the artist and to that my response is if u want to see change you can make a change today by starting with yourself.

Two years later, Murda Mase dropped a single called the “Oracle 2: The Liberation Of Mason Betha,” which was dedicated to trashing Diddy. In one of his verses, he accuses the mogul of exploiting Biggie’s 1997 death. He raps, “Yeah, I’m just a Harlem n-gga reppin’ down a Vegas strip with my own Suge/You from Mt. Vernon, n-gga, go and rep your own hood/I’m not hating on your Billi worth/Right now, I’m only saying what you really work/You ain’t no architect/You just a n-gga who know how to market death.”≥

Diddy has yet to address his purported change of heart. Ma$e, meanwhile, hasn’t spoken on the deal publicly either.

Rihanna Does Amazing Act Of Compassion For Homeless Vets In L.A.

Rihanna has reportedly donated to an organization serving West Los Angeles veterans. According to a source for Page Six, the “Diamonds” singer recently donated to the Always For The People Foundation.

The foundation provides for disabled and homeless veterans in West LA.

The source claimed Rihanna “made a huge order” for the foundation, including “hundreds of hygiene kits, socks, clothes, sleeping bags, food, 50-plus pairs of shoes, toilet paper, dog food, you name it.”

Last year, the singer visited the organization and “spent hours listening to their concerns and their issues,” according to a previous report. Another source said at the time, “She was genuinely interested and concerned.”

She also reportedly spoke to those living at a homeless encampment outside of the VA Medical Center, formerly known as “Veterans Row.” One vet said of her visit, “I met Rihanna! The greatest singer on earth. She donated clothes, food and she cares about the veterans.”

Rihanna reportedly did not make an in-person appearance to match her donation this year.

“Things are crazy with the new babies,” the source explained. “She’s been very supportive even while becoming a new mom.”

Rihanna’s Cousin Dies At 28 From B######## Mass In Brain

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

As Rihanna revels in the joy of her newborn baby, the second in her brood, a heartbreaking event has cast a shadow over her and her family’s life.

The singer’s 28-year-old cousin, Tanella Alleyne, tragically passed away. The exact cause of her untimely demise remains undisclosed.

However, details shared by her adoptive mother, Julie-Ann Bryan, with their church community on August 6th shed some light on the situation. Tanella had undergone a CT scan, and upon receiving the results, she informed her adoptive father, Simon Bayne, about the doctor’s discovery of “a b######## mass.”

Concerned, Bayne probed to find out more details about the “mass,” to which Tanella cryptically responded to her dad that is a “a b######## 4×4,” according to Loop News.

Tanella’s farewell services took place on Monday, August 28th, at St. George Parish Church in Barbados.

She was preceded in death by her brother Tavon who was fatally shot six years ago.

During the memorial service, family and friends gathered to pay their respects to Alleyne, accompanied by the moving strains of Rihanna’s poignant ballad, “Lift Me Up.”

In the sermon, Bryan said Tanella was a person who “lived a life of gratitude with an outrageous amount of attitude, sprinkled heavily with confidence.”

Tanella attended St. Paul’s Primary School and the Garrison Secondary School, where, as Bryan noted in her eulogy, the journey was akin to a “rollercoaster.”

While school was an adventure, she said the young woman lived her life full-heartedly and loved to travel.

“Tanella camped in St Vincent, vacationed in Trinidad, traveled to South Africa, loved London, visited France, debuted in a music video in Canada, shopped, shopped, shopped in the USA,” Bryan said.

It is unclear if Rihanna attended the service.

Move Over Lil Durk, Wiz Khalifa Is Now Morgan Wallen’s Best Bud & Collab Mixtape Suitor

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Is there room within a genre-bending bromance like that of Lil Durk and Morgan Wallen for a third amigo such as Wiz Khalifa? The Taylor Gang head honcho appears to think so.

During the Wallen’s recent Pittsburgh arena concert, which has become synonymous with an infamously mother and daughter porta-p#### brawl, Khalifa made a guest appearance and performed his hometown hero hit, “Black And Yellow.” As he surveyed the crowd drenched in yellow accent lighting and lasers as he rapped the City of Steel’s 2010s-era anthem, he and Wallen shared a quick embrace on stage—and, of course, flicked up backstage as well. Khalifa even tweeted to commemorate the moment, writing, “Me and Morgan shut it down,” in a tweet featuring a clip of the pair on stage.

For the most part, all appeared to be business as usual—that is until we got a glimpse of the photo-op Khalifa and Wallen took post-show. Both appear droopy-eyed donning goofy smiles as if they had shared a quick laugh and or consumed a leafy green substance prior to taking the photo. Basically, it looked like two buds were bonding with more buds—and maybe even a true friendship was budding.

Believe it or not, nearly a month ago Lil Durk was Wallen’s special guest during his performance at Wrigley Field in June. One has to think, what does a friendship between Wiz Khalifa and Wallen mean for Lil Durk? Maybe it’s a reach, but I think it immediately affects their creative relationship, first off. No matter what way you cut the cake, Wiz Khalifa and Wallen cooking up together means there’s less time for him and Durkio to craft hits. And considering the track record Khalifa has with crossover hits (“See You Again” with Charlie Puth, for example), songs like their fan-favorite “Stand By Me” could fall by the wayside if Wallen and the TGOD general get on a wave together.

But aside from the speculation, Wiz Khalifa and Morgan Wallen working together could actually foil Lil Durk’s plans of recruiting the country singer for a full-fledged collab project. Even though the Chicago rapper only first teased the idea earlier this summer, the moment to carry out the actual tape may be nearly spent. Lil Durk and Wallen accounted for 54 Billboard Hot 100 entries earlier this year, and 2023 is quickly coming to a close. From a business sense, it’s a now-or-never type of situation for Durkio x Wallen. However, Wiz x Khalifa Morgan Wallen is a market to be tapped and explored.

At this point, it’s all in the hands of the suits. No telling how it’ll turn out.

Smash Mouth Singer Steve Harwell—Most Famous For “All Star” Hit—Dead At 56

By: Kyle Eustice Updated Category: News

Just hours after fans learned Smash Mouth singer Steve Harwell was on his death bed, the 56-year-old has died. Robert Hayes, Smash Mouth’s manager, confirmed the news in a statement, writing, “Steve Harwell passed away this morning September 4, 2023 at his home in Boise, Idaho. He was surrounded by family and friends and passed peacefully and comfortably.”

The cause of death was acute liver failure brought on by years of drug and alcohol abuse. Harwell had been placed in resting at home and was being cared for by his fiancé and hospice staff during the final stage of his illness. Harwell had been suffering from various health complications for years. According to a statement released in 2021, Harwell was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle that can makes it hard for the heart to deliver blood to the body. Following his initial diagnosis, he suffered from “nonstop serious medical setbacks including heart failure as well as acute Wernicke Encephalopathy,” a condition that greatly impacted his motor functions, including speech and impaired memory.

Harwell wound up retiring from Smash Mouth in October 2021. He released a statement at the time that read: “Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of being a rock star performing in front of sold-out arenas and have been so fortunate to live out that dream. To my bandmates, it’s been an honor performing with you all these years and I can’t think of anyone else I would have rather gone on this wild journey with.”

Smash Mouth was formed in 1994 by Harwell, guitarist Greg Camp, bassist Paul De Lisle and drummer Kevin Coleman. The band’s first single, 1997’s “Walkin’ on the Sun,” started garnering national attention. In 1999, the group landed in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 with “All Star,” which peaked at No. 4. Astro Lounge, Smash Mouth’s sophomore album, peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 albums chart the same year. The song found new popularity in 2001 when it was featured in the  Oscar-winning animated film Shrek.

But as the years went on, Harwell’s behavior grew increasingly bizarre. During a family-friendly event in Fort Collins, Colorado, Harwell flipped out after a few people in the crowd started tossing slices of bread on stage. Seemingly intoxicated, Harwell told the crowd, “If you throw one more f###ing thing onstage, I’m gonna come find your a##, I’m gonna beat your a##, whoever the f### you are out there.” He ultimately walked offstage.

Smash Mouth continues to tour with vocalist Zach Goode, who joined the band in 2022.

EXCLUSIVE: Special Ed Calls Out “Vultures And Vampires” Involved In Hip-Hop 50

Special Ed wasn’t pleased with the celebrations of Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary. The creator of the Hip-Hop classic “I Got It Made” condemned certain people involved in the festivities in an interview with AllHipHop.

“There’s a lot of vultures and vampires out here sucking the blood out of everything,” Special Ed told AllHipHop. “People that are really not as vested to Hip-Hop as you would think, but they rep Hip-Hop … And they out here to also take advantage of the people. They overcharging for shows, they overcharging for tickets. And then they not really including all the artists that are deserving and have given their lives for this culture.”

He added, “They have shown no respect to the dead that have literally given their lives for this culture all the way dating back from the beginning of Hip-Hop till now. We have a lot of artists that need to be recognized and need to be appreciated in this 50th celebration.”

Special Ed raised concerns about longstanding exploitation in Hip-Hop. He believed serious problems were swept under the rug amid the celebrations.

“I understand it’s a celebration, but it’s not a celebration for all,” he said. “Like even for me, I feel like, ‘Yo, this is 50 years of abuse. 50 years of financial and economic abuse. 50 years of manipulation and 50 years of fabrication.’ Just a lot of falsifying going on. A lot of claims, a lot of people claimed to have started this, invented that, did that. And they ain’t did s### but sucked the blood out of a stone!”

Rain, Mud & Rescue: Chris Rock, Diplo & The Hippies Who Saved The Day

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Diplo and Chris Rock had a lucky escape from the rain-soaked quagmire at the Burning Man festival after a fan with a truck gave them a lift to the airport. Thunderstorms left tens of thousands of festival attendees stranded on Saturday (September 2) in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.

Although the site of the event is usually dry and dusty due to its desert location, heavy rain had engulfed it in mud, closing roads in and out. Revelers were told to take shelter in place and conserve their food until flash flood warnings were lifted.

Despite being stranded at the festival, Diplo was determined to make it to Washington D.C. for a gig, and he and Chris Rock got some help from a fan with a vehicle capable of getting through the mud.

“A fan offered Chris Rock and I a ride out of Burning Man in the back of a pickup,” the 44-year-old DJ captioned an Instagram video showing their escape from the ill-fated event.

“I legit walked the side of the road for hours with my thumb out cuz I have a show in dc tonight and didnt want to let yall down,” he added. “Shoutout to this guy for making the smart purchase of a truck not knowing it was for this exact moment.”

Diplo, real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz, stated that he and Rock then hitched a ride with “hippies with a van in the next town,” who drove them two hours to the nearest airport.

“They didn’t believe we would walk six miles in the mud,” Diplo added. “No one believed we would get to D.C. for the show tonight. But God did.”

Later on Saturday evening, the star filmed himself in a bathtub after he finished the gig.

Chris Rock wrote on his Instagram Story that “because of the flooding, the port-o-potties reportedly can’t be emptied and because the gates are closed, people can’t get in to fill generators or deliver supplies.”

With flood warnings in place until Monday (September 4), it’s unclear when other Burning Man attendees will get the all-clear to leave or be evacuated. A death that occurred at the festival is reportedly under investigation.

Jamie Foxx Improvised “A Funny Line” In “Strays”

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Jamie Foxx improvised “a funny line” in his new talking-dog comedy “Strays.”

In the gross-out canine comedy, the Oscar-winning actor voices Bug, a stray Boston Terrier who teaches abandoned Border Terrier “Reggie,” voiced by Will Ferrell, the ways of the streets.

While shooting one scene, Benny the dog, who portrayed Bug in the film, became startled by a leaf, so director Josh Greenbaum decided to leave it in the movie and let the voice actor have some fun with it.

“There’s a moment in the film where little angry Bug is walking through the woods by himself, and randomly a leaf fell out of a tree and it scared the dog pants off Benny the dog, who plays Bug. So I thought, ‘Oh, that’s funny. That’s a weird behavior,'” Greenbaum recalled to Consequence.

“We tweaked the script a little bit, and then I showed it to Jamie Foxx and he improvised a funny line – Bug’s talking about how ‘I’m not lonely, I’m not scared, I’m not scared of anything.’ And then he jumps because the leaf falls, and then Jamie Foxx goes, ‘F### you, leaf!'”

Elsewhere in the interview, Greenbaum explained that he wanted Foxx and Ferrell to record their parts together rather than in separate booths.

“I encouraged/insisted that they come in together. And luckily they all were game – I think Will and Jamie were very excited to work together, they had never worked together before,” he explained. “So they did all of their sessions in a room together, pretty much all of them, and that makes all the difference in the world, performance-wise.”

“Strays,” also featuring the voices of Isla Fisher and Randall Park, is in cinemas now.

Nicki Minaj is showing love to Chrisean Rock, who gave birth to her first child, a son with “Thotiana” rapper Blueface on Sunday (September 3). 

The reality TV starlet stayed true to her brand during the delivery, welcoming her little bundle of joy during an Instagram Live stream. Shortly after giving birth, Rock revealed she named her son after herself.  

“His name is Chrisean and he will be loved n respected,” she announced.  

Fellow celeb mom Nicki Minaj congratulated the new mother on her new arrival. I see that Chrisean delivered her baby,” the NYC icon said during an appearance on Rashidah Ali’s “It’s On Site” radio show Sunday night. “Congratulations to her! And welcome to the boy mum club.” 

Word got back to Chrisean Rock, who thanked Nicki Minaj and suggested they hang out together with their sons.  

“Shout out to Nicki for shouting me out for having a baby boy!” the “Vibe” hitmaker said on IG Live. “So when we going on a little play date, Nicki? Put me in the studio, Nicki. Nicki really shouted my little baby out.” 

In another clip, the new mother gushed over her precious little boy, showering him with love and affection. She also acknowledged the drama between her and Blueface over their baby. 

“Hi my name is Chrisean, I’m your mom,” she began. “I love you, love you so much. And it’s so crazy because you started a whole riot before you got here.” 

She continued, “I was going through so much and this is like the purest thing ever. He was going crazy about you?” 

Blueface Says “I Will Never Go Back”

Meanwhile, Blueface is yet to publicly acknowledge his son’s birth, although he insists he will never reconcile with Chrisean Rock. The Los Angeles native took a break from partying with the mother of his other two children to post a social media update. He also shared multiple videos from his night out.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori’s Venice Boat “Obscenities” Result In Lifetime Ban From Hire Company

Kanye West And Bianca Censori have received criticism from locals during their trip to Italy over Censori’s near-nude outfits, and now the couple have landed a lifetime ban from a Venetian river boat company. 

The couple went viral after the G.O.O.D. Music founder flashed his bare behind during a romantic boat ride in Venice last week. Images surfaced online of the pair in a seemingly compromising position in full view of onlookers.  

However, their antics have landed them in hot water with the company that rented them the boat. In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, condemned West and Censori, insisting they are “no longer welcome” to hire their boats.  

“On board, the driver had to keep a lookout for traffic and did not see these obscenities,” the company stated, confirming their staff were “completely unaware,” of what the couple were up to.  

“If this had happened, he would have immediately disembarked and reported the transgressors to those in authority.” Additionally, Venezia Turismo Motoscafi claims a third person onboard the boat with Kanye West and Bianca Censori “obstructed the captain’s view to the stern in any case.” 

Despite reports claiming Kim Kardashian is “desperately embarrassed” by her ex-husband’s lewd displays, a source told Page Six the SKIMS founder has “very much moved on” from Ye and is concerned only about “matters of co-parenting” their four children.  

“She absolutely does not want to talk to her,” the source claimed, shutting down rumors Kardashian wants to speak to Censori. “Kim is actually a firm believer in letting people be on their own journey and figure out life.”

Yung Bleu and Boosie Badazz’s contract dispute turned personal after the “You’re Mines Still” hitmaker was called out by his wife for flying a woman out to see him in New York.  

The Alabama-bred rapper/singer was signed to Boosie’s label before securing a deal with EMPIRE. However, the pair have been beefing over money since his departure. 

Despite their feud, Boosie initially said he wouldn’t comment on Yung Bleu’s marital issues. However, he changed his mind a few hours later.  

“Everybody askin’ me to go hard on this Bleu situation and his wife,” Boosie said during an Instagram Live Sunday (September 3). “I ain’t doin’ that, dog. I ain’t finna jose on no n#### and his wife. You know, I ain’t finna do all that. If I’ma go at him, I’ma go at him. You know, I still feel it’s f##### up how he playin’ it, bro.” 

According to Boosie, although he’s “still f##### up” over their financial disagreement, he doesn’t want to wade in on Bleu’s personal life.  

“That’s how God work, man,” he added. “Right now, you don’t wanna give me nothing, but God gon’ give all of that to your wife. And that’s basically it, I ain’t finna jose out dude and his wife. That’s family, you know, then that s### go to me talkin’ about his children and all that. I ain’t finna do that, dog.”

Although he said he wouldn’t comment on Yung Bleu’s marriage, he did continue venting over their contract dispute in a series of IG posts.  

The Love Scars II album creator hit back at the Louisiana native in his own social media updates. Bleu claimed he has receipts to prove his allegations and said Boosie hasn’t shown proof because he doesn’t have it. 

A short while later, Boosie addressed “MR UNGRATEFUL,” and his relationship struggles.  

“GO GET YO WIFE BACK WITH SOME SORRYS CAUSE YO DICK AINT GO GET HER BACK,” he wrote, referring to a claim from Bleu’s wife. “I SHOULDA BATTED YOU WITH THAT ROD N 2018-2019 WHEN YALL TRIED TO STEAL FROM ME THE FIRST TIME WHEN U WENT N YO POCKET A GAVE ME THAT 30k ON CANAL STREET.”

“WHY YOU AINT NEVER CLAIM ‘YO WIFE,'” he questioned. “SHE WANT A DIVORCE LAWYER NOW THATS ‘YO WIFE’. THATS N#### FA YA LOL.”

Yung Bleu caught wind of Boosie’s words and fired back in a since-deleted post. “Boy yo azz ain’t never ran down on me,” he wrote. “I will beat yo old brittle bone ass.”

Kelly Rowland isn’t surprised by Blue Ivy Carter’s work ethic because the pre-teen has learned from the best: her mom Beyonce and dad, Jay-Z.

Blue, 11, has been joining her famous mother on stage for performances during Beyonce’s latest tour, “Renaissance,” delighting fans with her high-energy dance moves.

Talking about Blue’s dedication and talent, Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland, who has been friends with Beyonce and her family since childhood, gushed to E! News: “I’m very proud!”

She added: “She works very freaking hard, period. But how could she not, you know? She sees her mother in action and she sees her father in action and how they apply everything, hard work to everything that they do.”

Beyonce and Jay-Z are also parents to six-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.

The “Renaissance World Tour” began in May and wraps on October 1 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Afroman Accuses Officer In Ohio Home Raid Of Belonging To “Pedophile” Family; Posts Receipts

Afroman’s Ohio home was subjected to a police raid in August 2022 that resulted in the local police department filing a lawsuit against him. The officers involved in the incident were apparently miffed Afroman turned their likeness into merch, music and a money-making opportunity. More than a year later, Afroman hasn’t let his foot of their necks.

On Sunday (September 3), the “Because I Got High” phenom shared an Instagram post accusing one of the officers, Brian Newland, of belonging to a questionable lineage. He also demanded the money that was confiscated during the raid be returned. In the caption, Afroman also pointed the finger at Tasha Chamblin, the woman who apparently sent the police to Afroman’s house in the first place.

“Good Morning Baby Making Brian Child Molesting New Baby Moma New Born Newland ! (Brian Newland),” he wrote alongside a mugshot of Newland’s brother. “If you pay me bacc the money you stole from me I won’t tell the world about your pedophile, pilgrim family. You know …..like your brother …..that’s named ‘Will You Stop Sending Dicc Picc Williams’ aka (William Newland).

“If you get arrested in Adams county all you got to do is lie on me and Brian will let you go. just like they let the unconfidential informant Tasty Tasha Chamblin go after she attempted murder by committing the crime of giving false information to the police and sending them to my house.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cwuq7mbueKU/?igshid=MWZjMTM2ODFkZg%3D%3D

Police were led to believe Afroman was running some sort of drug trafficking ring at his home and had possibly kidnapped someone, leading to the raid.

“Looking for a fake dungeon and fake kidnap victims,” he continued. “Tell these uneducated, no counting d##### bags anything and they will grab their guns kicc down your doors and try to kill you in front of your kids. Oh yeah, no charges against her / or you by the way for giving false information to the police and attempting to have me murdered. Brian wants me in jail so I don’t expose his stealing pedophilia family.”

But Afroman has managed to see the silver lining and is releasing an entire album called The Lawsuit soon.

“Bring me my money, Brian and this can all go away. You wanna be Eminem whacc ass rapper !BRAND NEW SONG 🎶 ABOUT BRIAN ON THE UP COMING ALBUM. THE LAW SUIT !!! COMING SOON.”

Speaking to AllHipHop.com in May, Afroman concluded capitalizing on the situation was the only way forward.

“These guys kicked out my door,” he said at the time. “What? You think I’m not gonna sing about it? All that money kicked down the door. That money was chasing me down the hallway with my tablet. I couldn’t write it fast enough.”

Mark Wahlberg has sent his “Me Time” co-star Kevin Hart some of his own brand of tequila as he recovers from a running injury.

Kevin Hart updated fans via Instagram last week, revealing he’d been left wheelchair-bound after attempting to race former NFL player Stevan Ridley in a 40-yard dash.

Talking to ET Canada, Wahlberg assured viewers he’s been in touch with 44-year-old Kevin, offering him some words of advice as well as the alcoholic gift.

“First of all, I told Kevin, ‘Stay in your lane’,” Wahlberg smiled. “You know, he’s laying at home. He’s on the couch. His daughter just went to college too. My daughter’s in second year of college. I called him and I said, ‘Kevin, I feel bad for you. I understand a lot of people call you giving you s##t, excuse my language, but I’m not. I’m actually letting you know that I’m out there carrying the torch’. So Kevin also has the tequila, and it’s called Flecha Azul.”

Flecha Azul was created by Mexican professional golfer Abraham Ancer and entrepreneur Aron Marquez, with Wahlberg investing in the company and taking an ownership stake in early 2022.

TDE CEO Says Police “Harassed” Him For Tinted Windows—50 Cent Agrees

Even though Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith founded a successful independent record label in the city of Los Angeles, he still has to deal with racial profiling by police.

According to Top, he was minding his own business in his neighborhood and on his way to eat when he was pulled over and detained seemingly for the sole purpose of harassment. While he says the officer claims he stopped him because his windows were tinted, Top alleges he was handcuffed for more than 40 minutes while the officer searched his vehicle.

“No matter how much you change or how many great things you do in the community, some of these mofos still out here harassing n####,” Top wrote in part in the lengthy caption. “All I wanted to do was eat but this klown had me cuffed out front 40mins. He got folks out here looking at me like I’m a criminal. He said he stop me for tinted windows. This dude searched my car and let me go with no ticket smh. This not the type of jewelry I like. Get Josh on the phone.”

Several artists and celebrities jumped into the comment section of the post to voice their shared frustrations with Top.

“Oh they trippin for real,” 50 Cent wrote while Top Dawg’s own TDE artist Jay Rock simply added “SMH,” with an angry face emoji. Flea, fearless leader of the Red Hot Chili Peppers also chimed in on the post and wrote, “Sorry man that sucks,” and TDE President Moosa added a rhetorical question, remarking “Still n####?”

Just a few weeks earlier, Top brought the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jay Rock out to a park where they performed for residents of the Nickerson Gardens area for free.

In addition to that, Top was also honored at the Children’s Institute of LA’s fifth annual gala after the organization raised more than one million in donations. Targeting this man right now is CRAZY—but I guess the Hip-Hop police force knows no bounds!

Quavo Claims Donald Trump Was At Magic City Strip Club While Copping To A Relapse

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

August was a whirlwind month for Quavo—one that pit him opposite of the recently indicted ex-President Donald Trump and apparently put an end to his years-long sobriety stand.

Following the release of his Rocket Power tribute album dedicated to Takeoff, Quavo has been hyperactive online as he both promotes the project and ramps up his online presence once again. That said, I’m kind of taking some of the things the Migos rapper tweeted with a grain of salt. However, that doesn’t mean these unchecked tweets aren’t worth remarking on.

Case and point, over the weekend Huncho made the bold claim that he not only saw Donald Trump out in Atlanta, he alleges they crossed paths at the world-renowned Magic City Strip Club.

Insanity, yes I know. However, it’s even more perplexing to think that Trump was with the secret service throwing $1 bills at women built like Megan Thee Stallion in the strip club mere days after being booked on his third indictment. For those still catching up—the former president was booked at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta on August 24 on felony charges related to his alleged interference in the 2020 election. 

While there’s no confirming whether Trump really popped out to Magic City, the situation as a whole was so wild it even prompted a response from former NFL player Le’Veon Bell. Bell literally couldn’t contain himself in the video as he wrote in the caption of the video he shared to Instagram, “I hope Quavo cappin’.”

But it seems the fun and games end there, because now I have to spoil a good story with a bad ending. Since there’s no sugar coating it, Quavo followed his Donald Trump Magic City tweet up by seemingly admitting he’s recently relapsed. “I kno it’s been som years but now I’m taking Xanax,” Quavo wrote.

Again, it is a bit hard to gauge the seriousness of the situation knowing that Quavo is in the beginning stages of promoting his album. No matter the case, someone close to the Quality Control may want to reach out and confirm his well-being—and whether or not he got a flick with Trump at Magic City to document the unusual occurrence.

YNW Melly Double Murder Trial Juror Insists Rapper Was Framed

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

YNW Melly, the popular rapper accused of a double murder, was framed, according to a juror involved in the trial.

The juror, who wishes to remain anonymous, made explosive allegations, insisting that not only was YNW Melly framed, but the jury was manipulated into a mistrial.

This comes after a long and highly publicized trial where the rapper was accused of murdering two of his close friends, Anthony Williams aka YNW SakChaser and Christopher Thomas Jr., aka YNW Juvy in October 2017.

The juror spoke exclusively to the Sun Sentinel, expressing her firm belief that the evidence presented during the trial did not support the prosecution’s case.

“I believe that he didn’t do it and it wasn’t proved in court,” said juror #7. “This was a really bad situation of being framed. Melly was a very good person. He always tried to help out people around him.”

She went on to say that there were several inconsistencies in the testimonies of the key witnesses and felt that there was a concerted effort by some individuals to ensure Melly was found guilty.

This shocking revelation adds another layer of complexity to an already convoluted case against YNW Melly. The juror’s statement comes on the heels of an AllHipHop report about a juror who alleged manipulation of the jury led to a mistrial.

The juror claimed that there was significant pressure from other jurors to convict YNW Melly, despite the lack of conclusive evidence.

As of now, YNW Melly, who faces the death penalty if he is convicted, remains behind bars, awaiting a new trial date. His legal team is yet to respond to these latest allegations.

The case continues to draw significant media attention and has divided public opinion on the rapper’s innocence or guilt.

Lil Wayne Reportedly Storms Out Of 50 Cent’s L.A. Final Lap Concert Without Performing

A staffer working backstage during 50 Cent’s Final Lap Tour stop in Los Angeles seems to be the catalyst for Lil Wayne’s premature exit. On Wednesday (August 30), the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper prepared a special treat for his fans at the Crypto.com arena, bringing Lil Wayne on the stage to perform a set. But according to Page Six, right as Weezy was about to take the stage, a worker behind the scenes pushed him.

It’s undetermined if the person did it intentionally or if it was an accident. Apparently, that didn’t matter to the Young Money mogul—he left, clearly upset at the violation.

“He just stormed out,” a source claimed. “He was in the building for about 20 minutes total.”

While many were upset that they didn’t get to see the “Lollipop” recording artist, they did get to see Tyga, Chris Brown and YG. Nas also joined his fellow Queens brother on stage and rocked the stage.

As previously reported, 50 Cent was having problems with his mic at the same show. Out of frustration, he threw one of them in the audience, busting a woman in the head.

The woman, a local radio host, is currently considering filing a lawsuit. After she reported the incident, 50 Cent was named in a simple battery case. 50’s legal team has responded to the allegations, with attorney Scott Leemon saying, “Let’s be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone.”
