Eminem Goes To War – Over Bathing Suits

Eminem launched a trademark war against a Sydney couple’s beach brand after their “Swim Shady” name caught the attention of the Hip-Hop icon’s legal team.

The Detroit rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, filed opposition proceedings through IP Australia and initiated cancellation efforts in US courts against Jeremy Scott and Elizabeth Afrakoff’s beach shade company.

Scott, a former sponsorship manager at the South Sydney Rabbitohs, expressed bewilderment at finding himself in legal crosshairs with one of music’s biggest stars.

“Just disbelief. We have followed the right process from the start, how could this happen?” Scott told The Daily Telegraph. “We got it approved through the normal processes. Then suddenly you have one of the world’s biggest international superstars slide into your inbox.”

The couple launched their Swim Shady brand in December 2024, specializing in beach shades and swimwear products.

Their business has expanded to 50 retailers nationwide from Noosa to Port Douglas, with international distribution beginning in South Africa. The brand secured trademark protection under the Madrid Protocol across the United States, the European Union, China and Japan.

Eminem holds two existing Australian trademarks for “Shady” and “Shady Limited” and filed an application to trademark “Slim Shady” in Australia this January.

The rapper’s legal team argues the “Swim Shady” name creates confusion with his established “Slim Shady” persona, which has been central to his career since the late 1990s.

Scott and Afrakoff conceived their beach brand idea four years ago, focusing on unique beach shade products. Former Manly Sea Eagles legend David “Wolfman” Williams has modeled swim shorts for the expanding business.

“It’s hard to fathom really. We’re a beach shade in Australia — how can that get the eye or focus of an international rap singer. It’s hard to work out,” Scott stated.

The trademark dispute pits the couple’s growing Australian business against Eminem‘s reported $250 million net worth and established global brand recognition.

Legal proceedings continue in both Australian and US jurisdictions as both parties defend their respective trademark claims.

50 Cent Blames STARZ’s $53M Loss On His Exit In Savage Post

50 Cent wasted no time dragging STARZ across social media after the network reported a staggering $53 million loss and a sharp drop in revenue. The rapper-turned-television producer took to Instagram to mock the struggling premium service.

“See what happens when I stop working,” he wrote. “Let’s make STARZ great again. MSGA.”

50 Cent’s jab came just hours after STARZ’s third-quarter 2025 earnings report revealed the company’s revenue had slipped eight percent year-over-year, falling to $321 million from $347 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Executives at STARZ blamed the financial nosedive on multiple factors, including its ongoing split from parent company Lionsgate.

But the numbers paint a bleak picture for a platform that once leaned heavily on 50 Cent’s G-Unit Film & Television to drive subscriber interest. The Power franchise, a cornerstone of the network’s programming slate, remains one of its few consistent performers.

However, the relationship between 50 Cent and STARZ has been strained for years, marred by public spats over scheduling delays, contract disputes and creative disagreements.

Back in 2022, 50 Cent announced he was walking away from his overall deal with STARZ.

Though he kept his executive producer title on existing series, he made it clear he was done playing nice. That same year, he urged viewers to boycott the network until his shows returned to air.

In August, he posted a blunt “good bye” to STARZ after the company reported a $42.5 million loss and declining subscriber numbers. The writing was already on the wall, but 50 Cent’s latest post feels like a final nail in the coffin.

With 50 Cent now publicly distancing himself and the network bleeding revenue, STARZ’s future in the competitive streaming landscape looks increasingly unstable.

Drake Makes New Move In “Not Like Us” Legal Battle With Pre-Argument Statement

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: News

Drake’s legal war with Universal Music Group (UMG) has taken a new turn.

The Canadian superstar’s attorneys have officially filed a civil appeal pre-argument statement in the U.S. Court of Appeals, signaling his intent to continue fighting the dismissal of his defamation lawsuit tied to Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping hit “Not Like Us.”

According to the filing, Drake’s legal team claims UMG “knowingly published and promoted” Lamar’s explosive diss record, which they allege “conveys unambiguous and false factual allegations.” They feel it was illegal to artistically portray the Toronto native as “a criminal pedophile.”

The 2024 song, which became a viral anthem during the height of the Drake and Kendrick feud, contains direct references such as “certified pedophile” and “Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young.”

The filing also cites the accompanying artwork and visuals as evidence of defamation. The statement alleges that the single’s release featured an aerial image of Drake’s Toronto mansion digitally altered with icons resembling those used by police to identify the homes of registered sex offenders.

Drake and his team allege UMG doubled down by publishing the official music video, which Drake’s team says “reinforces the accusation that Drake is a criminal pedophile who should be incarcerated” through imagery associated with sex trafficking.

Drake’s lawyers assert that UMG acted with “malicious intent,” emphasizing that the label had financial and strategic motives to push the track despite knowing its claims were false.

The filing states UMG sought to “prove its worth” to Lamar, who was reportedly on a short-term exclusive contract at the time, while allowing Drake’s own deal with the company to expire without renegotiation.

The rapper’s team argues that UMG’s actions went beyond normal artistic expression, leading to “violent attacks” at Drake’s Toronto residence and “threats against his family.”

The document also states Drake attempted to tell UMG of the escalating harm, but the label “continued to promote the work because it stood to greatly profit.”

Drake’s lawsuit was initially dismissed earlier this year, but his appeal seeks to revive the case.

The pre-argument statement, filed this week, only outlines part of what his attorneys plan to argue before the appellate court.

Neither UMG nor Kendrick Lamar has publicly commented on the appeal. As the case progresses, it could establish a significant precedent regarding accountability in music promotion, particularly in rap battles.

G$ Lil Ronnie’s Murder Suspects Avoid Death Row After Brutal Car Wash Shooting

By: Nolan Strong Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

G$ Lil Ronnie lost his life in a daylight ambush alongside his 5-year-old daughter, but the two men accused of the double murder will no longer face the death penalty after prosecutors in Tarrant County dropped their pursuit of capital punishment this week.

The decision spares Adonis Robinson and Jakobie Deshaun Russell, both in their 20s, from a potential execution if convicted in the March 3 shooting that killed the 35-year-old rapper and his daughter R’mani at Slappy’s Car Wash in Forest Hill.

Instead, they now face life behind bars without parole.

Court filings submitted this week, obtained by CBS, confirmed the state’s withdrawal from seeking the ultimate sentence. Both defendants remain jailed in Tarrant County on capital murder charges.

Authorities say the attack was deliberate and unfolded just before noon as G$ Lil Ronnie, whose real name was Ronnie Sibley, vacuumed his car with his daughter seated inside.

The suspects allegedly approached and opened fire without warning. Witnesses described hearing as many as 30 rounds before the shooters fled in a white Kia sedan. The child had celebrated her fifth birthday the day before.

The car wash temporarily closed for two days following the incident. In a statement, management said they were “shocked, appalled, and deeply troubled by the senseless and violent events” that unfolded on their property.

Robinson was arrested by Texas Rangers in Livingston on March 6. Russell turned himself in to U.S. Marshals the following day. The arrests ended a short but intense manhunt involving multiple agencies, including officers from Fort Worth, Mansfield and Everman.

G$ Lil Ronnie had built a loyal following in the North Texas Hip-Hop scene. His track “Hoodfame Killuminati” racked up nearly 4 million streams on Spotify, and he averaged 45,000 monthly listeners. His death prompted tributes from artists across the region, including Grammy winner Leon Bridges.

The killings marked a grim milestone for Forest Hill, which had recorded zero homicides in 2024. This year, the G$ Lil Ronnie case became the city’s fourth and fifth murders, according to police.

A joint funeral service for G$ Lil Ronnie and R’mani was held on March 20 at Great Commission Baptist Church in Fort Worth. Hundreds gathered to mourn the father and daughter, whose deaths rattled the local music community and drew widespread attention.

By removing the death penalty from the case, prosecutors may accelerate the legal process and avoid years of appeals, potentially bringing quicker closure for the victims’ loved ones.

Chadwick Boseman will be honored with a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 20, nearly five years after his death and following a delay from the originally planned 2024 ceremony.

The late Chadwick Boseman will be recognized at 6904 Hollywood Boulevard, right outside The Hollywoodland Experience gift shop, where his widow Simone Ledward-Boseman will accept the honor and help unveil the star.

The tribute will feature speeches from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom co-star Viola Davis, two of the people who worked closely with Boseman during pivotal moments in his career.

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is deeply honored to celebrate Chadwick Boseman’s extraordinary legacy with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said in a statement. “His powerful performances and enduring impact both on and off screen continue to inspire generations around the world.”

Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Steve Nissen will host the event.

Boseman died in August 2020 at age 43 after a private battle with colon cancer. The Walk of Fame committee announced him as a 2023 honoree, but the ceremony was pushed to 2025.

No reason has been given for the delay.

The South Carolina native became a global icon through his portrayal of T’Challa in Marvel’s Black Panther, a role that cemented his place in cinematic history. He also appeared in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Captain America: Civil War.

Beyond the Marvel universe, Boseman delivered acclaimed performances in 42 as Jackie Robinson, Get On Up as James Brown and Da 5 Bloods directed by Spike Lee. His final role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom earned him a posthumous Oscar nomination and was released months after his death.

Wale wrestled with perfectionism and creative fatigue while finalizing everything is a lot, his eighth studio album set to release Friday, revealing the uphill battle during a no-holds-barred conversation with JB Smoove for Interview magazine.

The Grammy-nominated rapper opened up about the mental and logistical hurdles that came with wrapping the project, admitting the process was anything but smooth.

“I think finishing it was kind of hard, because I wrote so many great verses and then it’s like, ‘Maybe I should end the song here.’ Then it’s like, ‘Nah, nah, I’ve got to do another one.’ Or just trying to make certain things better, or sometimes a feature didn’t finish it all the way or whatever. Trying to fix things that weren’t me, but I had to fix it anyway. It was challenging, but it tells me what I’ve got to do,” he said.

The 41-year-old DMV native, who first broke onto the scene in 2009, reflected on how the Hip-Hop landscape has changed over the years.

“A lot done changed about this industry,” he told Smoove, pointing to the heightened level of scrutiny and content restrictions artists now face.

The two creatives bonded over the shared struggle of writer’s block and the pressure to keep their material fresh. Wale admitted that he didn’t fully grasp the importance of timelessness in music until his fourth album.

“You could really say something that just dates everything, and then you lose the oomph for real,” he explained.

The rapper’s latest effort follows a string of recent collaborations, including a track with Pusha T titled “Damage Control” and a feature on NBA star Anthony Edwards’ compilation album Legend In My Hood. Looking ahead, Wale hinted that his creative ambitions may stretch beyond traditional musical partnerships.

“I’ve got to push the envelope creatively, so it might not even be a traditional musician. I’ve just got to see where I lead me, man. I’ve got to follow what makes me excited,” he said.

everything is a lot. dropped Friday (November 13), adding another entry to Wale’s growing discography and marking his first full-length release since 2021.

Eminem and longtime collaborator Paul Rosenberg have secured a multi-year deal to produce the Detroit Lions’ annual Thanksgiving Day halftime show at Ford Field, ensuring their creative leadership through 2027.

The Hip-Hop heavyweight and his Shady Records co-founder will serve as executive producers for the holiday tradition, overseeing talent booking and the overall artistic direction of the event. Their involvement marks a high-profile blend of music and sports culture in the heart of the Motor City.

“It’s an honor for us to team up with the Lions and be a part of the greatest tradition in Detroit sports,” Rosenberg said. “We look forward to putting together unforgettable shows featuring world-class artists for the fans at Ford Field and the tens of millions watching around the country.”

The Detroit Lions announced the partnership as part of a broader initiative to enhance their entertainment offerings.

The team also tapped Jesse Collins Entertainment to handle production duties, creating a full-scale entertainment operation around the Thanksgiving Classic presented by Ford and powered by Verizon.

Lions President and CEO Rod Wood praised the duo’s involvement, highlighting their deep roots in Detroit and global impact in music.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Marshall and Paul, who are two of the most accomplished and respected names in the music industry, not to mention longtime Lions fans,” Wood said. “Their reputation in the business will attract top-tier talent and help us solidify this annual performance as one of the most anticipated cultural moments on the NFL calendar.”

Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, has long been a fixture at Lions games and has often expressed his support for Detroit’s sports teams. His connection to the city and its athletic identity adds a personal layer to the collaboration.

This deal provides the Lions with a consistent creative team for the next four years, enabling them to plan ahead and potentially attract bigger names to the Thanksgiving stage.

With Ford and Verizon backing the event, the franchise is banking on a combination of hometown credibility and national star power to boost its holiday broadcast appeal.

The agreement runs through the 2027 NFL season.

Max B honored the memory of A$AP Yams with a solemn visit to the late Hip-Hop tastemaker’s gravesite on Thursday (November 13) in New York, marking what would have been Yams’ 37th birthday.

The Harlem native, recently released after serving nearly 16 years in prison, made the pilgrimage just days after regaining his freedom.

Yams, born Steven Rodriguez, was not only a co-founder of A$AP Mob but also a major supporter of Max B while he was behind bars.

Yams died on January 18, 2015, at age 26. His death was attributed to an accidental drug overdose.

His passing left a lasting void in the Hip-Hop world, where he was widely credited with launching A$AP Rocky and shaping the A$AP Mob’s artistic direction.

During Max B’s prison sentence, which began in 2009, Yams publicly supported the rapper.

Max B was released on Sunday (November 9) after his original 75-year sentence was reduced to 20 years following a 2016 plea deal for aggravated manslaughter tied to a 2006 robbery that turned deadly.

His return to Harlem was met with emotional reunions, including a widely shared moment with longtime collaborator French Montana.

Ray J Says Kardashians Weaponizing Judicial System In Legal Counter Attack

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Ray J has launched a legal counterattack against Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, alleging the mother-daughter duo orchestrated the release of his infamous 2003 intimate recording with the reality star.

The R&B artist filed his countersuit Thursday, responding to the defamation case the Kardashian family initiated against him last month. His legal team, led by attorney Howard King, presents a dramatically different narrative about the controversial footage that helped launch the Kardashian empire.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the “One Wish” singer claims he and Kardashian “consensually shot a sex tape in 2003, and then in 2006 they discussed releasing it, and he says Kim insisted Kris be in charge of the release and commercial exploitation of the film.”

The lawsuit directly challenges two decades of public statements from the Kardashian camp. Ray J alleges Kim and Kris have “spent two decades peddling the false story that the sex tape … was leaked against her will.”

The entertainer claims the reality TV moguls are “furious” because he “no longer wants to play along with their tall tale.”

Kardashian’s legal representative Alex Spiro dismissed the countersuit, telling TMZ, “After realizing he is losing the case and losing his way, this disjointed rambling distraction is not intimidating anyone. Ray J will lose this frivolous case too.”

The legal battle intensified after Ray J made controversial statements about potential federal investigations.

During an appearance on TMZ’s Tubi documentary “United States vs. Sean Combs,” he suggested racketeering charges would be more appropriate for the Kardashians than for Sean “Diddy” Combs, stating, “If you told me the Kardashians was being charged for racketeering, I might believe it.”

Ray J’s filing reveals additional explosive allegations about a previous settlement.

The documents claim that on “The Kardashians” television show, Kim, Kris and Ye falsely accused him of sexually assaulting Kim while she was asleep, releasing revenge p###, and extortion.”

The singer alleges this led to a $6 million settlement agreement where “Kim agreed to pay him $6 million” and both parties agreed to stop publicly discussing the intimate recording. However, Ray J claims the Kardashians violated this agreement almost immediately.

According to the lawsuit, the settlement “featured a requirement barring further mention or public reference to the sex tape on ‘The Kardashians,’ but he says almost immediately after the agreement was executed, Kim, Kris, Ye, and Kendall Jenner all made statements in violation of the agreement.”

Ray J now seeks $1 million in damages under the alleged settlement terms.

The countersuit characterizes the Kardashians’ defamation case as strategic litigation rather than a genuine legal grievance.

Ray J claims their lawsuit “is not really about defamation … it’s about publicity, power, and punishment.” He alleges they “filed a baseless lawsuit to weaponize the judicial system, shirk their contractual obligations, and sacrifice on the altar of fame.”

The legal documents also address Ray J’s controversial September 2025 livestream comment where he said, “The feds is coming to investigate because I can’t be the dirty guy no more.” The singer claims he believed his microphone was off when he made this statement.

This latest development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing dispute between Ray J and the Kardashian family, with both sides now pursuing separate legal actions over the same underlying controversy that has persisted for over two decades.

Antonio Brown Makes Bail With Strict Conditions

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Antonio Brown emerged from Miami’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center Thursday afternoon, embracing freedom after posting $25,000 bail on a second-degree attempted murder charge that could land him behind bars for 15 years.

The 37-year-old former NFL superstar walked out wearing civilian clothes, immediately hugging his attorney Mark Eiglarsh before heading to a nearby food truck.

Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer had ordered his release on Wednesday, but not without conditions: Antonio Brown must now wear a GPS ankle monitor and remain under house arrest at his home in Broward County.

“He no longer has a passport. He’ll be living at his home. I look forward to working with him zealously on this case,” Eiglarsh told the judge during Wednesday’s bond hearing.

Prosecutors had fought hard to keep Brown locked up, arguing the wealthy former athlete possessed the resources to flee the country. Their concerns weren’t unfounded. Brown had been living in Dubai for several months before his extradition back to the United States.

The charges stem from a May 16 incident at a celebrity boxing match in Miami, where authorities allege Brown grabbed a handgun from a security officer and fired two shots at Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu following an earlier fistfight.

According to the arrest warrant, one bullet grazed Nantambu’s neck. Brown’s defense team disputes the prosecution’s version of events. In addition to being shot at by Brown, Nantambu is also infamous for crashing Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime show.

The attorney maintains Brown acted in self-defense, pointing to social media posts where the former wide receiver claimed he was “jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me.”

Eiglarsh also pushed back against suggestions that Brown fled to Dubai to avoid prosecution.

“He didn’t flee to Dubai,” the lawyer insisted. “He always had a desire and intention to answer this case.” The attorney noted Brown has business interests in the Middle East and always planned to return for trial.

Brown appeared at Wednesday’s bond hearing via video link, wearing a red jail uniform and speaking only to answer the judge’s questions. If convicted on the attempted murder charge, he faces up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The former Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star spent 12 years in the NFL, recording 928 receptions for over 12,000 yards and 88 total touchdowns. His last professional season was 2021 with Tampa Bay, where he helped the team win a Super Bowl championship.

Brown’s legal troubles mark another chapter in what has been a tumultuous post-NFL life. The All-Pro receiver’s career ended amid various controversies, but this attempted murder charge represents his most serious legal challenge to date.

As he awaits trial, Brown must comply with strict conditions, including GPS monitoring and house arrest. Any violation could land him back in jail without the possibility of bail.

The case is expected to proceed through the Miami-Dade court system in the coming months, with Brown’s legal team preparing a self-defense strategy for what promises to be a high-profile trial.

Island Boy Admits Drugs Made Him Lose it & Destroy His Home

Flyysoulja opened up about the circumstances that led to his recent three-day detention at a Miami-area mental health facility.

The Island Boys member disclosed during an Instagram Live session that his consumption of various pharmaceutical substances triggered the episode that resulted in his involuntary commitment under Florida’s Baker Act.

According to reports, the 24-year-old rapper was taken into custody over the weekend following what authorities classified as a mental health crisis. The Baker Act allows for the temporary detention of individuals who may pose a danger to themselves or others or are unable to provide for their basic needs.

“Multiple substances like pills” were responsible for the psychotic state, Flyysoulja explained to his followers. During the drug-induced episode, he spent hours frantically searching his residence for hair care products while unknowingly broadcasting the incident on social media.

“In the psychosis, I was trying to find something for my hair for hours, and destroyed the home while unknowingly being on Live,” the rapper stated.

Flyysoulja emphasized that his situation stems from substance dependency rather than underlying mental health disorders. “I never said I was suicidal,” he clarified during his livestream explanation.

The rapper also raised concerns about the circumstances of his detention, claiming law enforcement entered his property without proper authorization. He alleged that officers mistakenly identified spilled nail polish as blood evidence during their investigation.

KaylaThayla, who shares a child with Flyysoulja, provided additional context about the severity of his condition. She revealed that she only became aware of the extent of his deteriorating state when she visited the residence to retrieve her pets, discovering at that time that he had been detained.

Kodiyakredd expressed frustration with the situation and informed fans through social media that he would be responsible for collecting his brother from the medical facility following the mandatory 72-hour evaluation period.

The Hip-Hop duo gained viral fame in 2021 with their distinctive appearance and controversial online presence. However, both members have faced various legal challenges throughout their careers, including previous arrests on drug and weapons charges.

The twins have faced scrutiny for their involvement in adult entertainment platforms, including a weird incident where they kissed each other passionately.

Cardi B introduced her fourth child and first with Stefon Diggs on Thursday, announcing the birth in a heartfelt Instagram post that also marked a personal and professional rebirth for the Grammy-winning rapper.

The Bronx native, 33, reflected on her evolution as an artist and mother while sharing the news with her 169 million followers.

“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season. Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve,” she wrote.

The announcement comes just months after Cardi confirmed her pregnancy during a September appearance on CBS Mornings, where she said, “I am having a baby with my boyfriend.”

This marks the fourth child for the “WAP” rapper, who shares daughter Kulture, born in July 2018, son Wave, born in September 2021 and daughter Blossom, born in September 2024, with her ex-husband Offset.

Their six-year marriage ended amid long-standing infidelity rumors. Cardi’s relationship with the New England Patriots’ wide receiver first drew attention in October 2024, though both initially denied they were romantically involved.

That changed when Diggs publicly supported her pregnancy on Instagram, commenting that he was “100 percent team boy.” In her Instagram post, Cardi also emphasized her renewed focus on personal growth and her upcoming tour.

“This next chapter is Me vs. Me! It’s me against all odds, me against everything meant to get in my way. I’ve started prepping for tour getting my body right getting my mind right. There’s nothing that’s gonna stop me from giving you guys the performance of a life time! I’ve learned I’ve healed, and I’m loving the woman I’ve become! Thats what this next era means to me and I’m stepping into it better than.”

During her CBS interview, Cardi spoke about the emotional balance she found with Diggs, saying, “I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”

The birth of her fourth child marks a new chapter for the rapper, who is preparing for her “Little Miss Drama” tour and continuing her musical comeback.


Security Guard Demands New Trial, Citing Cardi B Pen Throwing Incident

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Cardi B is once again at the center of a courtroom clash as former security guard Emani Ellis pushes for a new trial in Los Angeles after losing her $24 million lawsuit against the Hip-Hop star in September 2025.

Ellis’s legal team filed a motion on October 31 alleging the original trial was tainted by judicial missteps, including the judge’s decision to allow two witnesses to testify.

According to court records obtained by TMZ, Ellis claims those testimonies unfairly influenced the jury. But Cardi B‘s attorneys fired back, pointing out that Ellis had previously tried to recruit one of those same witnesses to support her own case.

The original lawsuit stemmed from a 2018 confrontation where Ellis, who was then working security, accused the rapper of physically attacking her.

The allegations included being hit in the face and body, spat on and verbally insulted. After just two days of testimony, the jury took roughly an hour to return a unanimous verdict clearing Cardi B of all assault and battery claims.

Ellis’s motion also referenced Cardi B’s brief altercation with a reporter outside the courthouse during the trial.

Her lawyers argued that the pen-throwing incident may have influenced jurors and warranted further examination. Cardi B’s team dismissed that angle, saying the jury had been explicitly instructed to focus only on the evidence presented in court.

“This is a last-ditch effort to revive a case that was thoroughly examined and fairly decided,” Cardi B’s attorneys argued, labeling the retrial request as meritless.

Ellis faces an uphill battle. In civil appeals, the burden falls on the losing party to prove that significant procedural errors occurred and directly impacted the outcome. Without that, courts are unlikely to overturn the original ruling.

The trial’s swift conclusion in September allowed Cardi B to move forward with her career and personal life.

After her courtroom win, Cardi B made it clear she wouldn’t tolerate lawsuits she considers baseless. She vowed to pursue legal action against anyone attempting to use the courts for what she described as “cash grabs.”

Drake pulled up on the ‘Gram this week with a new curly ’do and a caption that had people squinting at their screens like it was a riddle from the Sphinx.

The Toronto rapper appeared in what looked like a studio session, sporting tight curls that instantly drew comparisons to Benny Blanco.

It wasn’t just the hair, though; he threw in one of his signature cryptic captions that read, “To each their own…unless of course they lease and don’t own.”

So now people are in full decoding mode, trying to figure out if that’s a jab, a flex, or a teaser for something cooking in the lab.

This all lines up with the whispers around his long-awaited album ICEMAN, which was rumored to drop late October or early November. That didn’t happen, obviously, but folks are still on edge waiting for it.

Even Johnny Manziel swore it was coming around Halloween. Guess not.

Drake’s been doing his usual social media chess moves, liking ICEMAN-related posts, sliding into timelines with subtle hints and basically fanning the flames around the album’s release. No date yet, but industry heads think it could still drop sometime in 2025.

This would be his first big solo drop since his lyrical slugfest with Kendrick Lamar and a bunch of legal headaches, including his most recent lawsuit filed by Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti, who claims Drake jacked his “Amerigun” photo concept for the “What Did I Miss?” video.

Klay Thompson Defends Megan Thee Stallion Over Patrick Beverley & Jason Williams’ Disrespect

Klay Thompson does not play ’bout his girlfriend, Megan Thee Stallion. The NBA star clapped back at Patrick Beverley and former player Jason Williams after the two made crude and corny remarks about the rapper during a recent episode of their Hoopin’ N Hollerin’ podcast.

Apparently, Thompson’s slow start to the 2025-26 NBA season…it can’t just be a slow start. Williams suggested that Megan might be to blame for the Klay’s dip in performance. “I’m from West Virginia, man. I’ve been taught a lot by some old folks, some old white folks,” Williams said. “It only takes one p###y to drag a battleship across the desert. That’s how powerful it is…I ain’t saying that’s what it is, but that might be what it is.”

Sounds really silly…and quite possibly sexist.

The comment quickly drew backlash online. You know Klay was not going to stay silent.

“Referring to my GF as a ‘p###y’ is so disgusting and disturbing,” he wrote. “Especially from someone who played in the NBA. How would yall feel if I referred to your wives in such a way? Do better fellas. Very disappointing.”

Here are the original comments for you to see and hear.

The Golden State Warriors legend, who joined the Mavericks earlier this year, has been publicly dating Megan Thee Stallion for several months. The couple’s relationship has drawn major attention both inside and outside of sports. Most of us, minus the fans of Tory, love Megan and she continues to dominate. Klay might be moving into a new phase.

Fans online praised b-ball brother for standing up for Megan and calling out the misogyny…especially high-profile Black women. J. Will might not be doing him any favors with his West Virginia bragging Females are blamed too much for the failings of the male athlete. I could see if this was Mike Tyson or something.

As of now, the men or the podcast have not responded to Klay’s remarks. If they do, I doubt I will care enough to cover it, but if Megan says something, I definitely will.

EXCLUSIVE: Lil Durk Demands Removal Of Judge Over Threats Of Death, Mass Destruction & Hidden FBI Investigation

Lil Durk accuses federal prosecutors of burying critical information as his legal team pushes to remove the judge in his California murder-for-hire case, arguing the government hid two sets of violent threats aimed at the court and the lead prosecutor for months.

Durk’s lawyers say prosecutors concealed four graphic voicemails left for Magistrate Judge Patricia Donahue on February 22, which referenced Durk and co-defendant Deandre Wilson by name.

The filing says the caller warned of mass destruction and threatened to kill the judge while demanding Durk’s release.

“If they get life, I’m going to burn this [expletive] down. I’m talking ’bout the world, and I’m going to burn it, burn it to the ground,” the caller raged.

According to the motion, the FBI initiated a full investigation within days, which was executed by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the “Guardian Squad.” However, the defense did not learn of it until almost eight months later, on October 1.

The motion also says prosecutors kept quiet about an April 28 call where a separate man allegedly threatened to kill AUSA Ian Yanniello and everyone working at the courthouse.

Durk’s attorneys argue that both threats triggered extensive coordination among the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the court; however, no one disclosed the investigations while judges continued to handle Durk’s case.

His team says the government allowed Judge Donahue to preside over Durk’s May 8 detention hearing despite being the named victim of the threats.

The motion states this deprived Durk of the ability to challenge the judge’s neutrality and undermined every ruling issued while the threats remained secret.

“The integrity of criminal prosecutions depends on transparency and impartiality. Here, both were fatally compromised. Because these violations strike at the core of due process and the constitutional guarantee of receiving fair hearings in front of an impartial decision-maker, dismissal is the only adequate remedy,” Lil Durk’s lawyer Drew Findling said.

The filing blasts the silence as a direct violation of Durk’s due process rights.

Durk’s lawyers argue the entire U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California should be removed from the case. They say the office acted as a victim, investigator and prosecutor at the same time, creating what they call a conflict that can’t be repaired.

The motion says prosecutors only began revealing pieces of the threats after they sought an anonymous jury, using the same undisclosed information to support their request.

Durk’s attorneys claim the threats would have remained hidden if the government didn’t need them to bolster that motion.

They now want the indictment dismissed or the case reassigned to a judge outside the district.

They argue that the fairness of the case has been compromised and claim that no hearing can undo the months of decisions made under what they call a cloud of undisclosed danger.

Prosecutors accuse Durk of organizing a murder-for-hire scheme targeting Savannah rapper Quando Rondo to retaliate for the 2020 killing of King Von.

The attack left Von associate Lul Pab dead, deepening a feud that escalated between both camps and set the stage for the federal case that now holds Durk in custody.

EXCLUSIVE: Biggie’s Estate Pounces On Lewd Claims About Diddy, CJ Wallace & Notorious B.I.G.

Notorious B.I.G.’s estate is going after publicist Jonathan Hay, accusing him of inventing outlandish stories about CJ Wallace and Diddy to revive his stalled career and retaliate after a failed music project.

Biggie’s estate claims that Hay’s interviews sparked chaos across the internet, as he described graphic encounters that the complaint calls fabricated and malicious.

In an exclusive obtained by AllHipHop, B.I.G.’s lawyers say Hay began pushing false narratives after the estate refused to release his 2020 “Ready to Dance” remixes.

Attorneys say Hay shifted from praising CJ Wallace as an “honor and a privilege” to work with to spreading stories that placed Wallace at the center of lurid claims.

The estate points to an October 2024 interview where Hay said, “Puffy and Biggie’s son CJ had sexual relations.” Hay also claimed Willie Mack was Wallace’s “boyfriend.”

Both statements are listed in the complaint as invented attacks intended to damage Wallace’s credibility in the industry.

Hay escalated the story in a later interview, alleging Wallace attended Diddy’s infamous freak-off gatherings and watched criminal sexual activity.

He also accused Wallace of luring him into a home so Diddy could assault him. The estate states those claims were concocted and delivered with full knowledge they were false.

Hay’s most graphic allegation resurfaced in reporting by AllHipHop.com.

In that account, Hay claimed Diddy forced him into a violent oral act during a 2021 meeting tied to the remix project. He told interviewers he was restrained by members of Diddy’s circle and forced to perform sexual acts while Wallace and Mack were present.

Hay claimed Diddy ended up e########## on a shirt Biggie once owned, tossed it on Hay and said, “Rest in peace BIG,” Hay alleges to cops in the report.

The lawsuit describes these claims as reckless and impossible, given Hay’s earlier emails and conduct.

Before the conflict escalated, Hay had praised Wallace and the team in messages that were placed in the record.

On July 11, 2021, he wrote, “I have absolutely loved working with CJ and you guys as it’s truly been an honor and a privilege.” He added, “I have NO issues whatsoever with anyone else outside of Willie. It’s been a complete joy working with all of you.”

The estate says these messages show Hay never mentioned assaults or misconduct until years later, when public attention could benefit him.

The filing notes that Hay threatened to release music without approval after the estate pulled back from the remix project. Those threats led to a cease-and-desist letter on July 15, 2021.

The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, arguing that Wallace suffered a loss of work due to the statements published across YouTube and social media platforms.

The estate says the interviews have reached hundreds of thousands of viewers and continue to spread.

Cuban Rapper Chocolate MC Convicted In Revenge Murder Plot Over Fellow Artist’s Death

Yosvanis Sierra Hernández saw his fate sealed Wednesday in a Miami courtroom after a jury found the Cuban rapper guilty of soliciting a murder-for-hire plot aimed at the man accused of killing his longtime friend and fellow Hip-Hop artist El Taiger.

Known in the music world as Chocolate MC, Sierra Hernández was convicted on charges of soliciting first-degree murder and issuing written threats to kill or cause bodily harm.

Prosecutors said the rapper tried to recruit inmates at Miami-Dade correctional facilities to kill Damián Valdés Galloso, who is facing first-degree murder charges in the October 2024 shooting death of El Taiger, born José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar.

The six-person jury returned the verdict after less than two hours of deliberation, capping off a trial that featured emotional testimony, social media evidence and a rap song that prosecutors claimed doubled as a call to violence.

According to the state, Sierra Hernández used Instagram to offer $20,000 and a year’s worth of commissary to anyone willing to kill Galloso. One of the key pieces of evidence was a track titled “Pincha Lo,” which prosecutors translated as “stab him.”

On the witness stand, Sierra Hernández broke down while describing his friendship with El Taiger, which he said began in their teenage years. Speaking through a translator, he told the jury: “Maybe at one point I did not express myself the right way, or the way I should have. But I’m not capable of killing anyone.”

At one point during the trial, he held up a yellow notepad that read “Dios conmigo, ¿quién contra mí?” or “God is with me, so who could be against me?”

As the guilty verdict was read aloud, his girlfriend, Yelena, wept in the courtroom and said in Spanish: “They said he’s guilty, but it’s an injustice. He didn’t kill anyone. He’s not a killer.”

Sierra Hernández has reportedly been in custody at Metro West Detention Center since June, following a separate incident in Opa-locka where he allegedly pulled a gun on a man who asked for a photo and then fled the scene.

The murder-for-hire conviction carries a potential sentence of up to 15 years. Sentencing will take place at a later date.
