I need y’all to jump in the comments for real on this one.
Yo, let me clear the air real quick, because some of y’all out here running wild with these rumors like they hold weight. First off, Jamie Foxx is out here looking good, smiling at games and filming his Netflix special. And guess what? Nobody is worried about Diddy being involved in his medical scare from earlier this year.
I won’t say names, but these people get on these platforms talking spicy, implying Diddy had something to do with Jamie’s mysterious illness. Bruh, really? Look, we love a good conspiracy theory, but this one was weak from the jump. Jamie’s health situation was private, and he never blamed anybody. He’s not said a word about Diddy, aliens—nobody. If anything, Jamie’s been cracking jokes about teaching Diddy how to throw budget-friendly parties. Again, jokes.
Folks keep trying to stir the pot with stale ingredients, but we gotta get to the TRUF!
Bottom line: Jamie Foxx and Diddy are grown men with history, jokes and their own lanes. Let’s not get caught up in imaginary storylines when the facts just aren’t there. Things are out there and accusations are real, but maybe we need to let the court cases play out. Please stop trying to go viral and get algorithm money, please.
Thoughts?
I think they may need to start charging these liars.
Quando Rondo has been sentenced after pleading guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute controlled marijuana.
On Wednesday (December 11), Judge R. Stan Baker handed down a 33-month prison sentence to the Savannah native. Quando Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Bowman, pleaded guilty to the charge in June. He faced a potential five-year prison sentence.
Prosecutors argued the Atlantic Records artist was involved in a drug trafficking conspiracy. He was one of several defendants indicted for allegedly conspiring to distribute cocaine, fentanyl, marijuana and methamphetamine.
WLCJ News reported the rapper was in high spirits following his sentencing hearing.
“As crazy as it sounds, that’s enough time to really sit down, rehabilitate myself,” he said. “Come up with some better plans. Come out and move forward for my family and friends.”
He also expressed his desire to show kids “walking down the right path is cool.”
Quando Rondo Fighting DUI & Reckless Driving Charges
Quando Rondo is fighting another charge. In September, he pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence and reckless driving charges. The charges stemmed from a 2023 car crash he had while out on bond in a state drug and gang case. He was released on a $4,600 bond.
“I really want to give an apology to the city of Savannah,” he said after pleading guilty to the drug charge. “And I want to give an apology to my family, friends, loved ones, most of all to my daughters.
“I just want everybody to know I’m a changed person,” he said. “I’m changing every day, and God got the last say so … I’m changing myself. It starts with yourself. Change starts at home. It don’t matter the circumstances. It don’t matter the levels of how bad something is. God could bring you out of anything. So, with that being said, like I said before, I’m walking my faith and not by sight. Nothing can break me. It’s just going to make me even more.”
A former assistant to music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs filed a lawsuit accusing the embattled entertainment executive of drugging and raping him in February 2020.
The Plaintiff, identified in court documents as John Doe, alleges the assault occurred in Diddy’s suite at the InterContinental New York Times Square during a meeting ostensibly called to discuss unpaid wages.
The complaint describes a shocking sequence of events, alleging that Diddy used his position as CEO of Bad Boy Records to coerce and later intimidate the Plaintiff into silence.
According to the filing, Diddy prepared alcoholic drinks during their meeting, one of which was spiked with an incapacitating substance.
The lawsuit alleges that after John Doe became drowsy and fell asleep on a couch, he woke to find Combs sexually assaulting him.
“When Plaintiff awoke, he found himself laying on his stomach bent over the end of the couch with his pants pulled down while Defendant Sean Combs sodomized… Combs told him to ‘stop’ and that he was ‘almost done.’…Sean Combs then ejaculated shortly thereafter.'”
The filing further alleges that Diddy leveraged his power and influence to suppress the Plaintiff’s claims, warning that going public would make Doe “look like an idiot” and that Combs’ reputation as a cultural icon would prevent the accusations from being substantiated.
Doe accuses Diddy of deploying his inner circle to threaten and intimidate him after the incident, an alleged pattern of coercive behavior consistent with the federal charges he currently faces.
The music executive was arrested in September on a series of federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, which prosecutors claim involved systematic abuse of both women and men over decades.
In a separate indictment, the government described Diddy’s enterprise as one designed to fulfill his sexual desires and suppress dissent through a mixture of force, bribery, and fear.
The civil lawsuit also implicates Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings, several associated corporate entities, and Sony Music Holdings, accusing them of enabling Diddy’s actions by providing access and resources that facilitated the alleged assault.
This latest legal battle adds to the mounting allegations against Diddy, who is currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
He has pleaded not guilty to federal charges and his lawyers have already denied the claims in the latest flurry of lawsuits.
“These complaints are full of lies. We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him,” a representative for Diddy told AllHipHop.com.
Diddy’s attorneys are firing back at three new sexual assault lawsuits filed against their client. The latest allegations were filed separately on Thursday (December 12) through New York attorney Thomas P. Giuffra by three anonymous male plaintiffs, who claim they were drugged with spiked drinks then raped by the Bad Boy mogul in incidents dating as recently as 2022.
The suits allege that the plaintiffs went to parties with Diddy; in two cases in hotels and the third at his mansion in the Hamptons, where he gave them alcoholic drinks after which drinking they quickly passed out and came to when he was assaulting them.
“These complaints are full of lies,” Diddy’s attorneys said in a statement to AllHipHop. “We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him.”
All complaints include the warning: “YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED to answer the Complaint in this action and to serve a copy of your answer, or, if the Complaint is not served with this summons, to serve a notice of appearance, on the Plaintiff’s Attorney(s) within 20 days after the service of this summons, exclusive of the day of service (or within 30 days after the service is complete if this summons is not personally delivered to you within the State of New York); and in the case of your failure to appear or answer, judgment will be taken against you by default for the relief demanded in the Complaint.”
Basically, Diddy has mere weeks to reply or each client will receive a default judgement.
The lawsuits follow Wednesday’s (December 11) filings by controversial attorney Tony Buzbee, which Diddy’s team is calling into question. The previous day, Buzbee amended his complaint, making two major changes: revising the timeline of the alleged Hamptons party from 2006 to 2007 after being informed no party occurred in 2006, and altering his claim about marriage, now stating he was married at the time but too ashamed to tell his wife.
The same day, JAY-Z’s legal team filed an affidavit through Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, accusing Buzbee of unethical conduct, including pressuring clients to link unrelated allegations to high-profile individuals like Diddy. Diddy’s team vows to aggressively seek sanctions.
JAY-Z was dragged into the melee last week and has vehemently denied any involvement in the sex assault of a 13-year-old girl. As he wrote in an Instagram post, “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee. That he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!”
Buzbee quickly denied the extortion and blackmail allegations in a lengthy social media post Monday night (December 9).
“No one has made any threats, ” Buzbee began. “JAY-Z’s assertions are bogus and laughable. Instead, our firm sent a standard demand letter seeking a mediation on behalf of a woman who alleges JAY-Z sexually assaulted her as a minor.”
He then described JAY-Z’s response to the suit as “a coordinated and desperate effort to focus the public’s attention on me personally.” He added, “This effort has included harassing my family and colleagues and even offering former clients money to sue me, which is illegal.”
The back-and-forth will presumably continue as Diddy—who was arrested on multiple charges on September 16—remains locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center awaiting his May 2025 trial. JAY-Z, meanwhile, is using all of his man power (and wealth) to prove his innocence.
Megan The Stallion’s legal team claims Tory Lanez is harassing Megan Thee Stallion from behind bars, using a blogger to spread misinformation about the Houston native.
In a new filing, Megan Thee Stallion’s attorneys revealed they obtained recordings of Lanez’s jailhouse calls as part of their cyberstalking lawsuit against a social media personality, per court reporter Meghann Cuniff.
The “HISS” hitmaker is suing blogger Milagro Gramz over alleged defamation, harassment, and cyberstalking, which Megan claims have caused significant emotional and reputational harm.
They claim Lanez “is still orchestrating” a harassment campaign using Gramz “as his mouthpiece.” The amended complaint, filed Tuesday (December 10), details one alleged phone call between Lanez, real name, Daystar Peterson, and his father, Sonstar Peterson.
“In one phone call, the Petersons confidently asserted that Ms. Pete would be unable to prove that Mr. Peterson paid Defendant for attacking Ms. Pete,” the filing read in part, referring to the rapper by her birth name, Megan Pete.
The complaint accuses Gramz, who is represented by Tory Lanez attorneys, of “consciously coordinating,” with the singer to amplify his “disproven and baseless theories to help him seek retribution” against Megan Thee Stallion.
According to the filing, “Defendant engaged in extreme and outrageous conduct that has caused, and continues to cause, Ms. Pete severe emotional distress.”
Meanwhile, a judge recently ruled Megan Thee Stallion and Gramz should attempt to resolve their feud in a mediation session scheduled for March 2025.
Remy Ma and Papoose are crashing out on social media, trading cheating accusations in an intense back and forth amid allegations the TuneCore executive is having an affair with boxer Claressa Shields.
The drama erupted late on Wednesday evening (December 11), and continued into Thursday morning.
In her latest post, Remy Ma shared an alleged screenshot of the boxing champ’s text messages to Pap urging him to “do something today about this girl.” Shields feared her PR Team would “freak out” over the allegations,” and hinted at an upcoming bombshell.
“I can’t be up there exposing her etc before Dec 25th the movie coming out,” she wrote, referencing her upcoming film. She also mentioned Remy’s IG Story threatening to expose the boxer.
“I’m not worried about nothing she say or put in her story,” the text read. “I just need you to clear it up soon as.”
Remy Ma responded in the caption, writing, “he took your advice but not before I screenshot yall convo.”
The “Ghetto & Ratchet” hitmaker also accused Papoose of trying to get her in trouble with the law and conspiring with an alleged lover to ruin the Terror Squad rapper.
“He was getting me arrested,” she wrote. “The woman that NEVER f##### off on him in 17 years! While plotting with ONE OF his chicks to try to destroy me. The same woman that could’ve BEEN used my platform to expose you. I got all your pics and messages from the chicks while I was away and he was “holding me down.”
Remy Ma signed off with a preemptive strike, predicting that Papoose will claim he wrote for her. Disturbingly, she also claimed she threatened her with revenge p###. “And if anything sexual leaks about me,’ she said, “it was him cuz he threatened that too.”
In her first post, Remy leaked alleged text messages and claimed Pap was cheating on her with Shields and others. She claimed she surprised Shields by taking Pap’s phone after he fell asleep while talking to the boxer.
Papoose Blasts “Narcissist” Remy Ma
Papoose responded, blasting Remy Ma in a scathing Instagram post, calling her a “narcissist.” He also accused his wife of cheating on multiple occasions and playing victim once he “finally” decided to move on.
Meanwhile, Claressa Shields went off on X (Twitter), firing off a pair of tweets.
“Misery loves company baby…. Smh. I’m just so happy over here,” she wrote. “I can’t believe a 45 year old woman is crashing out like this. [clown] behavior.”
50 Cent is teasing a star-studded collab with Eminem, Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre ahead of the West Coast icons’ upcoming album Missionary.
The highlight anticipated project, Snoop & Dre’s first since 1993’s Doggystyle, is slated for release on Friday (December 13). The duo recruited an all-star cast to feature on the album, including appearances from Slim Shady and the G-Unit honcho on “Gunz N Smoke.”
50 Cent teased the collab on Instagram Wednesday evening (December 11). He reposted an AI-assisted commercial for Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s Still G.I.N featuring the pair “meeting” music legends Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.
Fif also discussed the song during a recent appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” revealing he will perform the song at his upcoming Las Vegas residency.
50 Cent and Clarkson also joked about Snoop Dogg’s infamous smoking habit and how stoned he gets.
“That’s not even getting high,” 50 Cent teased. “I think you have to relax; you have to come down to be sober to get high again. Like he’s just sustaining feelings.”
In addition to 50 Cent and Eminem, Snoop Dogg tapped Sting for the album. Snoop and the British singer performed the track at the season finale of The Voice earlier this week.
Papoose is going scorched earth on Remy Ma, firing back against her affair allegations with accusations of his own, claiming she cheated on him “repeatedly.”
The Hip-Hop super couple is airing their dirty laundry on social media, trading explosive allegations. Remy Ma dropped a bombshell late on Wednesday night (December 11), accusing him of cheating with boxer Claressa Shields.
Papoose fired back at Remy Ma, blasting her in a scathing social media post. Pap claimed he wanted to keep their private life off social media for the sake of their young daughter.”
“Sad to say that @remyma Is a narcissist,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories. “She chose to cheat repeatedly. Now that I finally moved on, she’s playing the victim. I have requested a divorce numerous times. She rather clout chase on social media. Than handle this like civilized adults.”
Papoose is rumored to have put hands on Remy Ma’s alleged lover, battle rapper Eazy the Block Captain. The Tunecore executive reported punched him in the face, knocking him out at a Chrome 23 event.
Pap continued, adding, “I did not wanna do the social media foolishness. For the sake of my 6 year old baby. She has to go to school. As you can see I remained quiet through this all.”
Remy Ma Accuses Papoose Of Affair With Claressa Shields
The relationship drama kicked off when Remy Ma put Papoose on blast for allegedly hooking up with Claressa Shields.
“papoose dum ass fell asleep on the phone with @claressashields,” Remy Ma wrote. “Laying in my house he refuses to leave . This b#### supposed to be a world champion boxer and get scary ass hung up soon as she heard my voice.”
Remy also shared alleged DMs between Papoose and Shields and claimed they were trying to smear her in the media.
The champion fighter clapped back, accusing Remy Ma of having multiple affairs. She also referred to Papoose as her “boyfriend.”
Remy Ma is putting Papoose on blast for allegedly having an affair with boxer Claressa Shields, and she’s coming with receipts.
Rumors have swirled about the couple’s marriage since the Bronx-bred rapper was accused of cheating on her husband with battle rapper Eazy the Block Captain last year.
However, Remy Ma turned the tables, exposing Papoose’s alleged text messages with the champion fighter. According to Remy, she surprised Shields by taking Pap’s phone after he fell asleep while talking to the boxer.
“papoose dum ass fell asleep on the phone with @claressashields,” Remy Ma wrote. “Laying in my house he refuses to leave . This b#### supposed to be a world champion boxer and get scary ass hung up soon as she heard my voice.”
Remy Ma then announced she will be “telling everything “adding that Shields is “not the only one.”
The alleged text messages show Shields complaining to Papoose about not being able to spend time with him.
“You take accountability!” She wrote. “You are the one who is married! If you can’t at least sleep on the phone with me or be with me in person… it shouldn’t be a big deal to let me know you made it home safe. Or to communicate you fell asleep in the sprinter.”
Claressa Shields Responds To Remy Ma
Shields fired back at Remy Ma in the comment section, writing, “This can’t be serious ! You have 2 boyfriends.” However, the “All The Way Up” rapper replied, “That’s what he told you lol.”
Shields seemingly confirmed the affair in her Instagram Stories. “How a woman with 2 boyfriends mad at a man that has a girlfriend,” she asked. “If I ain’t the only one why the hell you tagging me ????”
Remy Ma doubled down with a post on her Instagram Stories, accusing Shields of smearing her in the media to make Papoose look good.
“I BEGGED @papoose to put out something to stop the narrative,” she wrote. “He kept telling me just stay quiet that that’s the best thing to do… welp I’m tired oh and he said he would never f### your cuz you ugly but don’t worry I saw EVERYTHING now the world gonna see it since u so tough boo.”
Meanwhile, Clarissa Shields shared multiple photos with Papoose earlier this year. Back in September she praised Pap, revealing “I’m a new fan of his art.”
Papoose has since responded, blasting Remy Ma in a scathing post, branding her a “narcissist.” He also accused his wife of cheating on multiple occasions and playing victim once he “finally” decided to move on.
Roger Goodell is setting the record straight on JAY-Z and Roc Nation’s relationship with the NFL following the bombshell allegations against the Hip-Hop mogul and Sean “Diddy” Combs earlier this week.
The NFL commissioner addressed the matter during a press conference Wednesday (December 11), following the league’s winter meeting. He was asked his thoughts on the recent allegations that Hov and Diddy drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000.
Acknowledging the lawsuit and JAY-Z’s “really strong response” to the filing, Goodell confirmed the NFL’s position on the partnership has not changed.
“We know obviously that litigation is happening,” Goodell began. “But from our standpoint our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl.”
He continued, stating Roc Nation is “getting incredibly comfortable with not just with the Super Bowl but other events they’ve advised us on and helped us with.” Goodell also credited JAY-Z and his company with being “a big help in the social justice area to us on many occasions.”
He concluded, “They’ve been great partners and they’ve provided a lot of value for us.”
JAY-Z and Roc Nation began a five-year partnership with the NFL in 2019 for events, including the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and social activism. The deal was renewed in October this year.
The Roc Nation boss firmly denied the lawsuit allegations in a decisive statement. He also branded the suit a “shakedown,” accusing the attorney, who also represents over 100 alleged victims of Diddy, of attempted blackmail.
Hov’s legal team also alleges that the attorney, Tony Buzbee, is orchestrating a campaign of fabricated claims in an attempt to extort millions.
Meanwhile, Buzbee denied the accusations. He promised to provide evidence of “outright illegal conduct” from JAY-Z’s defense counsel in due course.
Suga Free has praised Kendrick Lamar, in addition to Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, for reviving West Coast rap’s competitive edge.
The Oakland-bred veteran recently gave his California rap counterparts their flowers while sharing his thoughts on the state of West Coast Hip-Hop during a brief interview. In short, Suga Free alluded to the latest moves from heavyweights such as Lamar, Snoop and Dre effectively snatching the ball proverbially representing the mainstream music industry and giving it back the region.
“Look at the turn it’s taking,” Suga Free said, reflecting on their impact. “Look at Kendrick Lamar. You know what I mean? Look at Xzibit. Look at Snoopy [Snoop Dogg]. Look at Dre [Dr. Dre]. I mean, the West Coast got the ball.”
Transitioning from an era where the West’s dominance had dimmed, Suga Free emphasized the cyclical nature of Hip-Hop’s regional influence.
“Like they say, everybody get a turn,” he noted.
His words follow the success of Lamar’s recent surprise GNX album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Chart and spawned Kendrick’s third consecutive Hot 100 No. 1 hit of the year. On the other hand, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have sustained thie legacy through consistent influence and innovation and are set to evolve yet again amid the release of their upcoming album Missionary, which drops on December 13.
Beyond his admiration for West Coast hip-hop’s resurgence, Suga Free also reflected on his unique place in the genre.
“I’m the only one in my lane,” he explained. “You know what I’m saying, I’m cold on a b##ch. Every song you gonna get about me, I’m gonna be the same. I’m not gonna change for nothing.”
When asked to recommend one of his songs for aspiring players in the game, Suga Free quickly responded with the same sense of unapologetic individuality that has kept him relevant for decades.
“’I’d Rather Give You My B####’,” he explained, “It’s just straightforward. I don’t give a stump-down pimp straight up in your face.”
Check out the post above to hear Suga Free’s full interview.
G Herbo was on the receiving end of a direct yet stray shot from his ex-lover Ari Fletcher after she fired back at a Twitter user following her recent link-up with the Chicago rapper and his current partner/mother of some of his children Taina Williams.
On Wednesday (December 11), Fletcher blew up on an unsuspecting person after they gave their two cents on the trio parlaying together, despite their shared history with one another. In essence, the commenter appeared to give credit to Herbo by using his own personal experiences with the mother of his children, who he says would’ve likely torn each other apart had they been at the same nightclub.
Ari Fletcher appeared to take offense to the remark and teed off on both the Twitter user and the PTSD rapper, who she claims did nothing to help smooth over the rough patch dividing the three of them in years past.
“Advice on what?” Fletcher questioned the user in her reply to the post containing videos of their time together in the club. “He ain’t got s##t to do with that. Y’all give n###as too much credit. We two grown ass women. He didn’t mend or coach us through s##t. That was all us.”
Advice on what? He ain’t got s### to do with that. Y’all give n##### too much credit. We two grown ass women. He didn’t mend or coach us through s###. That was all us. https://t.co/ZjY72llj7b
While Ari Fletcher may have a point, the man she snapped on apparently wasn’t the only individual who was thinking the same thing. Other reactions trended toward utter bewilderment that the trio was even seen together in public, mainly due to they dynamic between the two women.
“Maybe I need to grow up but I would nevaaaaa be buddy buddy with Ari if I was Taina,” one user wrote in a tweet. “She bullied and threatened that girl. We can be cordial for the kids but THIS? Please.”
Another user trolled the trio over the incident, adding, “Ari and taina in the club together with herb hell must have frozen over.”
In another tweet, a user rehashed one specific instance which occurred between the two women in years past, which they deemed as simply inexcusable, no matter how “cute” the current situation was.
“Ari and Taina cute but you wouldnt catch me being chummy w a b##ch who claimed i abused/harmed her child, same bd or not.”
telling you rn taina don’t like ari fr. That’s a real nyc b####. And ari yanking her all around is a lowkey power move establishing Dominance 😂😂😂 https://t.co/kakVOqND8r
Ari Fletcher and Taina Williams have a checkered past, to say the least. Williams, who’s the stepdaughter of Fabolous, shares a son Essex and daughter Emmy Love with Herbo. Ari Fletcher, who’s been dating Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo for several years, shares son Yoshon with the Chi-Town rapper. In June 2023, Ari Fletcher put Taina Williams’ digits on social media after allegedly being unable to contact her young son. In September 2022, Fletcher accused Williams of abusing Yoshon in a tirade on her Instagram Story.
“How about to tell the truth for ONCE,” she wrote. “Tell them how my son came home with a scar on him and saying what Taina did to him while you wasn’t home.”
Snoop Dogg and his daughter Cori Broadus are speaking out about the serious health scare that brought their family to the brink earlier this year.
In January, Broadus, 25, suffered a severe stroke that she described as completely unexpected, leaving the family grappling with fear for her life.
“It’s hard for me to revisit that day,” the 53-year-old Hip-Hop legend told Us Weekly in a joint interview with his daughter. “Anyone who knows me knows my daughter is my kryptonite.”
The stroke happened without warning for the pop singer and cosmetics entrepreneur.
Broadus recalled how quickly everything changed.
“I was celebrating at a party, and then the next day, I’m in the hospital,” she shared.
The near-death experience, she said, shifted her perspective on life and deepened her relationships with her loved ones.
“I think it really scared everyone… You know, a stroke is no joke. It brought me and my family closer, [realizing] that anything can happen in the snap of a finger.”
Broadus, who founded the beauty line Choc Factory, has faced health challenges from a young age.
At only 6 years old, she was diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disease.
In 2021, she also made headlines after revealing her struggles with mental health, which led to a suicide attempt.
Through it all, however, Snoop Dogg has been a resolute supporter of his daughter.
“Cori is very open in showing her truth, whether it’s talking about her struggles with mental health or her stroke,” Snoop Dogg said. “Most people wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing their experiences, but she wants to help people by showing that they are not alone.”
Eminem performed overseas in Abu Dhabi for the F1 Grand Prix event on Saturday (December 7) in support of his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).
During the Yas Etihad Arena performance, the diamond-selling MC appeared to acknowledge his mother Debbie Nelson’s recent death—albeit subtly. While performing the 2002 single “Without Me” from his fourth studio album, The Eminem Show, Eminem cut the part where he shouts, “F### you, Debbie!” and let the 40,000 people in attendance handle it instead.
The show marked Em’s first public appearance since Nelson lost her battle with lung cancer earlier this month. Some feared he’d cancel the performance, but fans were assured he’d show up through various social media posts.
Nelson died in St. Joseph, Missouri on December 2 at the age of 69. In a since-deleted post, Eminem’s half-brother Nate directly talked about her death, writing, “Hatred and mixed emotions today,” though he didn’t elaborate. Eminem’s relationship with Nelson was strained over the years.
Early in his career, he accused her of abuse and neglect in songs like “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” and “My Mom.” He’s suggested multiple times that Nelson had issues with substance abuse, particularly prescription drugs, and that her addiction contributed to the instability in their household. In “My Mom,” he mentions being exposed to drugs like V##### during his youth.
In 1999, Nelson sued him for defamation following the release of “My Name Is,” which included lines like, “I just found out my mom does more dope than I do/I told her I’d grow up to be a famous rapper/Make a record about doin’ drugs and name it after her.”
Nelson wanted $10 million in damages, but the lawsuit was settled in 2001 for $25,000, with Nelson reportedly receiving just $1,600 after legal fees. Continuing his contempt for Nelson, Eminem later rapped “f### you Debbie” on the aforementioned “Without Me.”
But now, in light of her death, perhaps that line will be a permanent part of the past.
Supporters of Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old accused of killing healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Pennsylvania, are rallying online, urging reality star Kim Kardashian to intervene in his legal case.
The December 4 shooting has sparked a wave of online fervor, with Mangione becoming a polarizing figure as debates swirl around justice and celebrity influence.
Kim Kardashian, 44, known for her criminal justice reform efforts, has not publicly responded to the calls for her involvement.
While she is not a licensed attorney, Kardashian has worked on high-profile cases, including her advocacy for the Menendez brothers, who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989 and are awaiting resentencing after nearly three decades in prison.
Fans now hope she might lend her influence to Mangione’s defense.
“Somebody please contact Kim Kardashian and tell her to protect Luigi Mangione, he cannot go to jail,” one commenter pleaded on social media following Mangione’s arrest.
The online reaction to the case ranges from ardent sympathies for Mangione, with some labeling the incident an anti-capitalist stand, to tongue-in-cheek admiration for his mugshot.
Some fans went as far as suggesting bold collaborations for Kardashian’s Skims clothing line, even humorously nominating Mangione as a potential model.
“Kim Kardashian needs to get Luigi pardoned and then get him in a Skims campaign,” one fan wrote, while another described the accused as “lowkey the modern day prison bae.”
As the support for Mangione’s case grows, so do the questions surrounding the intersection of celebrity advocacy, criminal justice, and public opinion.
Whether Kardashian will join the defense effort remains unclear, but her name continues to dominate the discussion.
I give @KimKardashian 48 hrs before she reaches out to Luigi for both a modeling contract and prison sentence reform
Jamie Foxx had audience members roaring during his latest Netflix comedy special, “What Had Happened Was…,” when he performed a song claiming he’s “cured” of dating white women.
The 56-year-old Oscar winner and comedian delivered the tune in between punches of humor and piano melodies, touching on personal experiences and cultural references that fired up the crowd.
“Sisters, I’m here to tell you I’ve been cured. I’ve been cured of everything,” Foxx crooned, drawing enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience.
The playful anthem, which recurred throughout the set, took a satirical turn as Foxx announced, “No more white girls. I’m serious; no more white girls. No more. No more white girls.”
Foxx’s banter was punctuated by a declaration that garnered even louder reactions.
“I’m back on the Black side of town!” he exclaimed while a wave of applause erupted.
The song’s tongue-in-cheek lyrics referenced everything from cuisine to stereotypes, with Foxx riffing, “No more potato salad and raisins. No more white girls! No more spray tan, no more big tties, no a. No more white girls, I gotta let ‘em know!”
The cinematic star, who famously dated actress Katie Holmes for six years between 2013 and 2019, shares two daughters—Corinne, with former partner Connie Kline, and Anelise, with former partner Kristin Grannis.
Not content to stop there, Foxx wrapped the satirical anthem with cultural nods, singing, “My life gonna be February all year long,” a nod to Black History Month, and finally offering the sly caveat, “No more white girls—in public.”
The title of the special, “What Had Happened Was…” refers to a harrowing 20-day stretch Foxx has said he completely lost memories of following a medical emergency earlier this year.
The performer reportedly suffered a severe stroke caused by a brain bleed, inspiring new perspectives on life and his comedic lens.
Attorney Tony Buzbee has vehemently denied accusations from JAY-Z’s legal team, promising forthcoming evidence of alleged wrongdoing by JAY-Z’s defense counsel.
The showdown stems from a case filed by a plaintiff identified as Jane Doe, who accuses JAY-Z, along with Sean “Diddy” Combs, of sexually assaulting her after an MTV Vide Music Awards afterparty in 2000.
On Tuesday (December 10), JAY-Z’s legal team asserted that Buzbee, who represents a Jane Doe, manipulated another alleged victim to fabricate claims against high-profile figures as part of a financial extortion plot.
Attorney Alex Spiro, representing JAY-Z, submitted a detailed motion in court alleging unethical practices by Buzbee’s team.
“To be clear, my firm and I categorically deny all of the baseless allegations levied by Mr. Carter and his counsel in these letters,” Buzbee said in a fiery statement denying the claims. “We will respond in due course and due time, through memoranda of law and other appropriate means, to the legal issues at hand as well as the accusations raised by Mr. Carter and his counsel.”
Spiro’s filing included testimony from a member of his legal team who said an anonymous woman who reportedly approached Buzbee’s firm with unrelated accusations of abuse, was coerced into tying her claims to JAY-Z and Diddy.
According to Mari Henderson, another attorney for JAY-Z, Buzbee’s team pressured the woman to craft a narrative implicating the two Hip-Hop icons despite her protests.
“The woman spoke with three members of Mr. Buzbee’s firm and provided details regarding her experiences as a victim of trafficking by celebrities entirely unrelated to Mr. Combs (or Mr. Carter),” Henderson said. “And she was told they would take on her representation.”
Henderson recounted how attorneys in Buzbee’s office allegedly prodded the woman to falsely claim she had been drugged, assaulted, and physically restrained, going so far as to push for her to pursue the case anonymously.
“When the woman made clear she was unwilling to adapt to the narrative Mr. Buzbee’s firm laid out and wanted only to speak her truth, she was dropped as a client and told that Mr. Buzbee’s firm was unwilling to represent her any longer,” Henderson added.
The woman later expressed fears of retaliation from Buzbee, a claim that has added another volatile layer to the lawsuit.
JAY-Z has consistently denied all accusations, dismissing the lawsuit and Buzbee’s alleged tactics as little more than a “shakedown.”
Buzbee, however, doubled down on his stance, criticizing the defense team’s integrity and vowing to present hard evidence of alleged misconduct on their part.
“We also will address verifiable improprieties committed by defense counsel, outright illegal conduct for which we have actual evidence rather than vague hearsay declarations,” Buzbee said. “For the moment, we simply want to timely inform the Court that such responses will be forthcoming.”
Megan Thee Stallion will attempt to resolve her legal feud with blogger Milagro Gramz in a mediation session scheduled for March 2025
The session is part of a court-mandated effort to address allegations of defamation, harassment, and cyberstalking, which Megan claims have caused significant emotional and reputational harm.
The conflict arises from a years-long dispute following the 2020 shooting incident involving rapper Tory Lanez, for which Lanez was convicted in 2023 and is serving a ten-year prison sentence.
Central to the case are claims that Gramz promoted baseless conspiracy theories, including the alleged disappearance of the firearm used in the shooting, despite Megan’s legal team confirming the weapon remains in Los Angeles Police Department custody.
Additional accusations include amplifying explicit deepfake content to her audience, which Megan Thee Stallion claims violates Florida law and exacerbates her suffering.
Represented by the nonprofit legal organization Unite the People—best known for supporting Lanez in his appeal—Gramz has pushed back against the lawsuit, calling it an attack on her First Amendment rights.
She filed a motion to dismiss the case in November, arguing the allegations lack merit and accusing Megan of using the legal system to stifle her ability to report on the Tory Lanez trial.
Gramz’s legal counsel described the lawsuit as a superficial attempt to control the narrative rather than a legitimate defamation claim.
As the legal battle has escalated, the court has stepped in to encourage a resolution outside the courtroom.
Retired Judge Scott Silverman will oversee the mediation, which aims to find common ground between the parties before the case moves toward potentially lengthier litigation.
Both Megan and Gramz are required to file a mediation report no later than seven days after the scheduled conference, a directive issued by Chief Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga.
The mediation is for March 10 at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom.
Beyoncé celebrated her daughter Blue Ivy Carter’s Hollywood milestone Monday night (December 9) at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where the 12-year-old made her debut in Mufasa: The Lion King.
The pop icon, who reprises her role as Nala in the film, took to Instagram to express her pride after the premiere.
“My gorgeous baby girl,” Beyoncé captioned a post featuring photos of Blue Ivy in a shimmering gold lamé ballgown fitting for the occasion. “This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”
In the highly anticipated follow-up to Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King, Blue Ivy portrays Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala and a young princess of the Pride Lands.
While the film doesn’t hit theaters until December 20, the star-studded event served as a glittering prelude to its holiday season release. Beyoncé was joined by her husband, JAY-Z, and mother, Tina Knowles, at the premiere.

The family’s public appearance came on the heels of a civil lawsuit leveled against the rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter.
The lawsuit accuses JAY-Z and Diddy of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 party.
Carter has strongly denied the allegations, calling them “heinous” and describing the mediation request as a “blackmail attempt.”
In a firm statement, he said, “(The allegations are) so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?”
Beyoncé hasn’t addressed the claims involving her husband. Instead, her focus remained on celebrating Blue Ivy’s voice-acting achievement and the continuation of the beloved Lion King franchise.
A man accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting him at a party is speaking out about the shocking allegations in a new interview.
The John Doe accuser has given an anonymous on-camera interview to CNN, the first time any of Diddy’s civil accusers has spoken publicly in an interview.
The alleged victim claims Diddy drugged and sodomized him at one of his “White Parties” in the Hamptons in 2007. Doe told the outlet he was working security for the party, where Diddy personally handed him two drinks.
After consuming the second beverage, Doe began to suspect something was wrong. He told the outlet he “wasn’t able to stand” after consuming the drinks.
“It was just an amazing level of incapacitation that I had never experienced before,” he explained. “I felt powerless.
“Sadly, Sean Combs was waiting in the wings,” the accuser stated. “He was watching from some sort of vantage point and once I was in a helpless position and he was sure that he was in a position of power, then he took advantage of the situation.”
According to John Doe, the nightmare began from there, with Diddy allegedly forcing him into a vehicle. Once in the car, he claims Diddy held him down and sodomized him while Doe yelled for assistance.
“I was screaming, I was telling him to stop,” Doe said. “It was incredibly painful, and he was acting like it was nothing and he seemed to be disconnected from it. But it was abusive beyond belief.”
A John Doe filed a civil suit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, accusing him of sexual assault at a “White Party” while Doe was employed by a private security firm.
While it was not mentioned before, Doe claimed a celebrity witnessed the alleged attack. “There was one high-profile individual who saw what happened and found it amusing,” he recalled.
Doe claims he reported the alleged assault to his manager and lost his job shortly after.
“He just dismissed it and said, ‘I’ll talk to him,’” Doe said of his supervisor. “After that, he didn’t talk to me again, he cut me out of everything … I was totally blacklisted after that. I had to find a different field.”
Doe is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, stating the alleged assault contributed to the demise of his marriage and caused him to lose his job. He also claims he has endured lasting emotional pain and mental health struggles since the alleged attack.
CNN noted a number of inconsistencies between Doe’s interview and the October lawsuit. Doe’s attorneys filed an amended complaint with the court, blaming the mistakes on the rush to file.
Diddy has denied the accusations details in multiple lawsuits. He is currently awaiting trial following his arrest in September on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
