Misa Hylton, Mother Of Diddy’s Eldest Son, On Cassie Video: “I Know Exactly How She Feels”

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Misa Hylton, the mother of Diddy’s son Justin Combs, alluded to the Hip-Hop mogul abusing her in an Instagram post on Tuesday (May 21). Hylton mentioned her “own trauma” in reaction to damning surveillance footage of Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

“I am heartbroken that Cassie must relive the horror of her abuse, and my heart goes out to her,” Hylton wrote. “I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma.”

The post included photos of Diddy’s children. Hylton, who is also rapper Niko Brim’s mother, hoped Diddy would seek help.

“These young people were raised by women that want the best for them – we put God and education first and have always been united in our mutual effort to support their dreams,” she wrote. “Two of the youngest do not have their mother here and it has been our duty to support them. Their father needs help and I am praying that he truly does the personal work and receives it.”

Video of Diddy attacking Cassie emerged on May 17. The incident happened at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

Footage of the assault corroborated some of the allegations in Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy. She sued him for rape and years of abuse in November 2023. The two quickly settled the case out of court.

Diddy issued an apology via Instagram after the video of him assaulting Cassie surfaced.

“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he said. “I was f##### up. I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”

Diddy still faces pending lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and trafficking. He is also the subject of a federal investigation. Homeland Security raided his homes in March.

Diddy Dropped By Peloton After Cassie Assault Footage Surfaces

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Peloton cut ties with Sean “Diddy” Combs in reaction to a video of him brutally assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The popular exercise company revealed it stopped using his music in a private Facebook group for Peloton users.

“Thank you for sharing your concerns,” the Peloton admin wrote. “We take this issue very seriously and can confirm Peloton has paused the use of Sean Combs’ music, as well as removed the Bad Boy Entertainment Artist Series, on our platform. This means our Instructors are no longer using his music in any newly produced classes. Again, thank you for sharing your concerns and thank you for being a member of our Peloton community.”

Diddy wasn’t the first Hip-Hop artist to be removed from Peloton’s classes. The company previously scrubbed Kanye West’s work from its platform due to his antisemitism in 2022.

Surveillance footage of Diddy attacking Cassie surfaced on May 17. The incident occurred at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

The video corroborated some of the allegations in Cassie’s bombshell lawsuit against Diddy. Cassie detailed how the mogul abused her at a hotel in court documents filed in November 2023.

Footage showed Diddy throwing Cassie to the ground, kicking her twice and attempting to drag her back to his hotel room. Later in the video, the Bad Boy Records founder shoved her into a corner and threw what appeared to be a vase at her.

Diddy apologized after the Cassie assault footage went public.

“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he said on Instagram. “I was f##### up. I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”

Cassie and Diddy settled her lawsuit out of court in 2023. The civil case was just the beginning of Diddy’s legal problems. More victims sued him following the settlement. The feds also raided his homes as part of a sex trafficking investigation in March.

Snoop Dogg’s Personal Auction Includes Blunt Roach — No, Really

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Snoop Dogg teamed with The Realest, a memorabilia authentication and auction company founded by DJ Skee, to allow fans to bid on items from his career. The auction includes a used blunt, which received multiple bids once the listing went live on Tuesday (May 21).

“A 1-of-1 actual blunt smoked by Snoop Dogg,” The Realest touted. “Preserved in resin in Snoop’s personal ashtray to display for eternity, this is an auction piece like no other. This is the first ever authenticated Snoop Dogg roach, making it one of the most unique pieces of memorabilia ever created.”

The Realest noted, “The blunt has been rendered inert, cast inside a solid resin block inside the ashtray. This item is being sold as a novelty with no real consumable use.”

Bidding for Snoop’s blunt closes on June 16. The roach has been authenticated – as strange as that may sound. The Realest shared footage of Snoop smoking the blunt on its website and social media accounts.

Snoop’s auction features master tapes, a handwritten tour setlist, a Jeff Hamilton Lakers jacket, scripts from the rapper’s film and television projects, a custom Death Row Records chain, a gold plaque for Doggystyle and much more.

“This is s### that we have, but we didn’t know it was worth something,” Snoop told Variety.

The Realest founder DJ Skee added, “Snoop is passionate about helping introduce an entirely new revenue stream for artists that is not just a typical ‘estate’ or garage-type sale of items, but from documented and authenticated ephemera. Items like setlists, stage equipment, outfits, signage, and more are things that fans desire but can’t find. It helps to build a new revenue stream for artists.”

Check out Snoop’s Tha Shiznit auction on The Realest website. More items will be up for bid in the coming days.

Bishop Lamor Whitehead Tossed In Federal Jail After Bail Revoked In Fraud Case

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Lamor Whitehead, known as the “Bling Bishop” for his extravagant lifestyle, has been sent to federal jail ahead of his sentencing next month.

According to the New York Daily, Manhattan Federal Judge Lorna Schofield revoked his bail due to his conviction on multiple federal charges, including wire fraud, attempted extortion and making false statements to law enforcement.

In a court filing, prosecutors pushed for immediate action, noting Whitehead refused to take accountability for his actions. The con man, now facing the possibility of decades behind bars, pleaded with Schofield to remain on bail until his sentencing. In a letter addressed to the jurist, he expressed concern for his family, writing, “It would be devastating to take me away from my two 16-year-old children, my nine-year-old daughter, and my two-year-old baby girl.”

Whitehead was found guilty of swindling $90,000 from a parishioner’s mother at his Brooklyn church and attempting to extort money from a Bronx businessman, falsely promising special treatment from Mayor Eric Adams (although he wasn’t implicated in any wrongdoing).

Prosecutors argued that Whitehead posed a significant community risk, citing his recent threats against his victims and violation of a restraining order. Despite his plea to remain on bail, emphasizing his concern for his family, Whitehead’s bail was revoked. His sentencing, originally scheduled for July 1, has been moved up to June 17.

In March, the self-proclaimed bishop and real estate investor was found guilty of attempted extortion, wire fraud and lying to the F.B.I. A jury took around three hours to reach a verdict after prosecutors argued he forced victims to give him money. In addition, he was accused of bragging about access to Adams.

During the trial, Whitehead tried to blame his parishioner’s son for the $90,000 loss.

“He was a man of God,” victim Pauline Anderson said of Bishop Whitehead. “I believed him as the leader of his church.”

Prosecutors claimed Whitehead misrepresented his relationship with Adams to convince the aforementioned local business owner to lend him $500,000.

“He was lying about the access, he was lying about the influence, he was lying about all of it,” the prosecutor said in his closing argument.

Whitehead is also embroiled in a $360 million lawsuit with controversial YouTube personality Tasha K. In November 2023, Whitehead’s lawyer asked a judge to remove him from the case, citing abuse and non-payment.

Cam’ron Defends Disastrous CNN Interview—Promptly Gets Dragged

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Cam’ron sat down with CNN correspondent Abby Phillip on Monday (May 20) and proceeded to talk about “getting some cheeks” and awkwardly question the integrity of Phillip’s questions. The clip went viral and now, Cam’ron is attempting to do some damage control—with very little success.

Taking to his podcast, It Is What It Is featuring Ma$3, the Dipset rapper appeared to dig a deeper hole with his explanation. He argued he felt blindsided by the questions about Diddy and disappointed Phillip didn’t inquire more about his podcast and other “positive” things he was doing.

“They didn’t invite me on to say about how successful our show is, or the positive stuff we do in our community or how every day, five days a week, Ma$e talks to kids on a Zoom call,” he said. “[…] He stops what he’s doing to talk to kids around the world […] We do all these positive things and you call me on CNN for some b#######. I’m gonna give you the b#######. That’s just what’s going to happen. They gave me some free promo.”

He continued, “I just felt like you tried to use me … I don’t believe in domestic violence. I seen the video as egregious. They’re really f##### up. I said what I said. That’s how that went.”

People weren’t buying it though and started bashing Cam immediately with comments like, “He’s 48. That s### was embarrassing” and “Nothin’ about what he did was funny. Nobody wanted to talk about you or what you’re doin’ sir.”

Other comments included, “He made it hard for other black podcasters to get main stream interviews. CNN are in board meetings rt now discussing why they not gone invite us no more and Abby can’t defend us” and “He and Mase talk about Diddy. But god forbid CNN ask him to come on their platform to talk about the same thing he talks about on his. Abby is one of the few black women with an International show and he had to act an ass on her show.”

The interview with Cam’ron went off the rails rather quickly, with him questioning why he was booked in the first place. It began with Phillip asking his thoughts on the video of Diddy assaulting ex Cassie Ventura. Cam’ron replied he doesn’t consider Diddy a friend or condone the mogul’s actions in the video or any of the other allegations against him.

“Everything in the video is egregious, I’m against,” he said. “So when I saw the video I was kinda upset being that I know him.”

Cam’ron became more frustrated when asked if he “recognizes that kind of anger” based on his personal experience of Diddy.  He added, “I don’t know him like that. What do you mean did I recognize him? I seen him. What do you mean my experiences? I seen him and I thought it was disgusting.”

Philip then asked him about Diddy’s apology video to which he said, “The apology ain’t for me, it’s for Cassie,’ he fired back. He ain’t do nothing for me. What I think about it don’t matter. You need to ask Cassie if she accepts the apology. I said what I said.”

Finally, when Phillip asked Cam’ron about Diddy’s alleged mistreatment of his artists. Cam’ron took a shot of his Pink Horse Power sex supplement and said, “Sorry, I’m gonna’ go get some cheeks after this horse power drink”—then plugged his podcast and questioned why he was there.

“Who’s the talent agent for this joint?” he concluded. You think I be sitting around watching what Diddy do? I didn’t know this was a Diddy joint that y’all invited me to. Who booked me for this joint?”

Phillip calmly thanked Cam’ron for his time before essentially kicking him off air. He addressed the incident on Instagram with a post that read, “F### They Invite Me On CNN For?” and “Oh they ain’t know?? Now they do.”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

GloRilla dropped her Ehhthang Ehhthang mixtape in April 2024. The project became her second Top 20 entry on the Billboard 200 chart.

In addition to spending six weeks on the Billboard 200, GloRilla insists her latest body of work can enhance body parts. The Collective Music Group recording artist joked about Ehhthang Ehhthang on X.

“Hold [the f###] up. I see why @GloTheofficial ass fat. Her album got me doing extra reps in the gym,” a fan tweeted on Monday (May 20). Big Glo responded, “My mixtape literally will make yo ass grow. I seen it with my own two eyes.”

GloRilla’s Ehhthang Ehhthang hosts the “Yeah Glo!” single. That track peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Top 20 hit “Wanna Be” with Megan Thee Stallion also lives on Ehhthang Ehhthang.

“Carlton” Actor Alfonso Ribeiro Claims “Fresh Prince” Role Forced Him To Sacrifice Career

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Alfonso Ribeiro got national television exposure for his stint on the 1980 sitcom Silver Spoons. However, his portrayal of Carlton Banks in the classic Will Smith-led The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air made him a household name.

During an interview with Closer Weekly, Ribeiro reflected on his time on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The 52-year-old actor explained how Carlton Banks became a gift and curse for him.

“Playing Carlton on Fresh Prince became a sacrifice,” he said. “I used to always say doing Carlton was the greatest and worst thing that ever happened to me. It was one of the greatest roles that I ever was fortunate enough to play.” 

He continued, “But it was also the role that stopped me from acting again because people couldn’t see me as anything else. The sacrifice was not having an acting career anymore.”

After The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ended in 1996, Ribeiro starred on In the House for three seasons. He also won season 19 of Dancing with the Stars before taking on the hosting gig for the competition series.

“My happiest moments, career-wise, are winning Dancing with the Stars and now becoming host of Dancing with the Stars,” Ribeiro concluded.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Sexyy Red went viral in March for a video of herself vibing to WWE legend Shawn Michaels’ iconic theme song. Will the “Get It Sexyy” rapper officially link up with the Heartbreak Kid? 

Shawn Michaels oversees WWE’s NXT brand which airs a weekly show on Tuesday nights. Sexyy Red teased stopping by the television program soon. 

“I can’t wait to go to NXT next week y’all, I might RKO somebody [loudly crying face emojis] @WWE #nxt,” Red tweeted on Monday (May 20). RKO is the name of the wrestling move made famous by WWE superstar Randy Orton.

Sexyy Red previously expressed interest in showing up in WWE. In October 2023, the St. Louis native reacted to a video of an edited mashup of former WWE tag team champion Jey Uso’s entrance and her “SkeeYee” single.

“I wanna see this happen [for real] [loudly crying face emojis]. @WWE when [y’all] gonna invite me?” Sexyy Red posted in response to the Jey Uso clip.

Several Hip-Hop stars took part in the WWE’s WrestleMania XL event in April. Meek Mill narrated the show’s cold open and Snoop Dogg provided commentary. In addition, Lil Wayne performed Jey Uso to the ring for his match against his twin brother, Jimmy Uso.

Saweetie Gets Emotional While Discussing Living Out Of Her Car & Couch Surfing

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

“My Type” hitmaker Saweetie apparently struggled financially before reaching stardom. The Sacramento-raised entertainer recently spoke about her pre-fame life when she did not have her own home.

“I remember I was too proud to tell my friends and my family that I had nowhere to stay and I was literally couch surfing,” Saweetie recalled on Power 106’s Brown Bag Mornings show while holding back tears.

She continued, “But it was cool because people always wanted me around. So I didn’t have to worry about having a place to stay. My homegirls knew what was going on. But I never wanted to take up space in someone’s house, so I would just keep my closet in my car.”

Saweetie went on to drop her High Maintenance EP in March 2018 via Warner Records. That project hosted the Californinan’s breakout single “Icy Grl” which eventually earned 2x-platinum certification.

A new track titled “NANi” hit DSPs on May 17, 2024. The official music video for Saweetie’s latest track has crossed the one million-view mark on YouTube since its premiere. 

The 30-year-old rapper recently blamed Warner Records for “NANi” not coming out earlier. She also claimed the label blocked the release of her “Icy Girl, Icy World” song.

Diddy Reportedly Legally Barred From Mentioning Cassie’s Name In Public

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Rumors

Sean “Diddy” Combs continues to deal with the fallout from the leaked 2016 footage of him assaulting then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel. The embattled recording artist/businessman also faced widespread criticism for his public apology about the matter.

“My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now,” Diddy stated in an Instagram post.

The Bad Boy Entertainment founder also said, “I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”

Many critics took issue with Diddy not directly apologizing to Cassie. TMZ published a report that explains why the R&B singer’s name did not come up in the Grammy Award winner’s post.

According to the outlet, Combs and Ventura signed non-disclosure agreements as part of their 2023 legal deal. The NDAs supposedly bar both parties from publicly speaking about the other. 

In November 2023, Cassie Ventura filed a sexual abuse lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend under New York state’s Adult Survivors Act. Diddy agreed to an undisclosed out-of-court settlement one day after the filing.

A young rapper tragically lost his life after accidentally shooting himself while filming a music video on social media over the weekend.  

According to The New York Post, cops believe the 17-year-old aspiring rapper died from an “accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound” to the head. The teen was found dead in Suffolk, Virginia, on Sunday (May 15.)

Footage circulated online of Huncho singing into the camera while pointing a gun with a green laser sight at his head. At one point, he appears to disable the firearm’s safety before a gunshot is heard. The boy is then thrown out of the frame before the camera falls. It is unclear how the video was posted online. 

An educator at Rylo Huncho’s school shared a GoFundMe page set up for his family.  

“Unfortunately, I am all too familiar with tragedy,” Kara Dorsey wrote on Facebook. “Over the past 14 years I’ve experienced the loss of numerous students and former students, and that never gets easy.” 

Dorsey urged students to “honor the legacy of their friend,” and “push through to graduation day and continue fulfilling their goals.”  

She added, “While this won’t ease their pain or bring him back, it will honor him and bring joy to their grieving family during this time.” 

Lil Wayne’s Doppelgänger Son Sparks Debate With G.O.A.T. Rapper Pick 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Lil Wayne’s son is following in his father’s footsteps as an aspiring rapper but believes another rapper has already assumed the role of the younger generation’s version of his father.  

Like many of his dad’s fans, Lil Novi considers his father the greatest rapper of all time. However, according to the 14-year-old, Playboi Carti is up there with Lil Wayne and has reached G.O.A.T. level.  

He addressed the topic during an interview with Flophouse Atlanta. “Obviously, my dad,” Lil Novi began. “But for me, I’d say like because Carti is like the Wayne now so yeah, Carti.”   

Novi justified his response after getting some pushback from the host. “If you really like think, he’s there,” he added. “He’s reached that level. He’s done crazy numbers.” 

Clips of the interview surfaced online, with many on social media disagreeing with Lil Novi’s take while others reacted to how much the teen looks and sounds like his famous father.  

“How does a 12 year old have vocal fry?” one person joked on X (Twitter), while another added, “Bro got his dads voice that’s hilarious.” 

Others questioned if Lil Novi was aware of his father’s status in rap. “I don’t think he knows how God tier of a rapper his dad is,” one user wrote.  

However, while some failed to understand the Playboi Carti “hype,” some disagreed. “Carti surpassed wayne already,” one user added. “Carti is the goat and theres no more debating it,” someone else stated.  

Meanwhile, Lil Novi (real name Neal), whose mother is singer Nivea, has been previewing his music on social media. Check out some of his work below.

Amber Rose Dragged Online For “Transphobic” Defense Of Donald Trump Endorsement 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Amber Rose refuses to walk back her support for Donald Trump despite being dragged online after endorsing the former president for the upcoming elections.  

Social media users criticized Rose after she posed for a photo with Donald and Melania Trump, branding her a hypocrite. Many pointed to her work as an advocate for women’s rights, including her annual SlutWalk event, and past negative comments about Trump.  

X/Amber Rose

Amber Rose addressed the backlash on Instagram, claiming that people “of color” are brainwashed when it comes to Trump before making some questionable claims.  

“Yall think Biden cares about black ppl???” she asked before calling her detractors “sad” and urging them to research the candidates as she did. 

“I’ll ALWAYS put women first,” Rose added. “Y’all want biological men in women’s sports [eye roll emoji]. Trump supports the most reasonable compromise on abortion. Stop being brainwashed cuz WE’RE ppl of color. Make your own decisions.” 

However, her response to the criticism only intensified the backlash, with many online branding her transphobic. 

“you cannot be a feminist or pro-women’s rights if you’re transphobic. You’re a fraud,” one person wrote. 

“So now Amber Rose doesn’t like trans women and refers to them as ‘biological men’ when she used them and pandered to that community for YEARS,” another user remarked. “Literally was in ballroom spaces, hugged up on them too. She’s very weird lol.” 

Others pointed to Trump’s proud role in the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the ensuing abortion bans. 

“Amber Rose is a walking contradiction,” a third person added. “She claims to be a ‘champion of women’s rights’ but just publicly endorsed Donald Trump — a man who takes credit for overturning Roe v. Wade.”

50 Cent Trolls Diddy After Ex-Bodyguard Reveals Kim Porter “Fought Back” Against Mogul’s Alleged Abuse 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

50 Cent believes Diddy’s woes just increased after former bodyguard Roger Bonds opened up about his time with the mogul and his alleged abuse of his late partner, Kim Porter. 

On Monday (May 20), Bonds appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored in the wake of Diddy’s apology following the disturbing footage of his violent assault on his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.  

Bonds explained that the level of violence in the video was not shocking to him “because I’ve seen things of this nature before.” 

He went on to say he saw Diddy physically abuse both Cassie Ventura and Kim Porter “around four or five times.” He added, “I’ve seen him get really physical, grab them up,” before questioning Diddy’s state of mind.  

“I seen him get into to wrestling and punching matches,” Bonds stated. “It’s a deeper anger when you hitting and punching a woman in that type of manner.”   

However, Bonds who recently said he intervened during the alleged abuse, claimed that Kim Porter began resisting Diddy’s attacks. “I seen him inside the car grab her up, I seen him smack her. One thing about Kim is, Kim got to the point where she fought back because she realized how powerful she was,” he continued.  

Bonds then recalled an alleged incident outside the Beverley Hills hotel “where I just seen the car rocking back and forth.”   

Longtime Diddy nemesis 50 Cent shared his reaction to the interview on Instagram. 

“Brother love, brother love, brother love,” he wrote alongside a clip of the interview. “This ain’t looking good.”

Cam’ron Sips Sex Drink During Disastrous CNN Interview About Diddy Hotel Video 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Cam’ron is going viral following a disastrous CNN interview to discuss Diddy’s recent apology to Cassie Ventura and the disturbing footage of the mogul violently assaulting his then-girlfriend. 

The rapper-turned-sports podcaster awkwardly answered a few questions about Diddy before becoming frustrated and telling anchor Abby Phillip he was about to “get some cheeks,” and questioning why he was booked in the first place. 

The interview began with Phillip asking his thoughts on the video. Cam’ron clarified that he doesn’t consider Diddy a friend, nor does he condone Diddy’s actions in the video or any of the allegations against him.  

“Everything in the video is egregious, I’m against,” he replied. “So when I saw the video I was kinda upset being that I know him.”  

Cam’ron became more frustrated when asked if he “recognizes that kind of anger” based on his personal experience of Diddy.  

“I don’t know him like that. What do you mean did I recognize him? I seen him. What do you mean my experiences? I seen him and I thought it was disgusting,” Cam’ron stated.  

The interview got progressively worse when Philip asked him about Diddy’s apology video. 

“The apology ain’t for me, it’s for Cassie,” he fired back. “He ain’t do nothing for me. What I think about it don’t matter. You need to ask Cassie if she accepts the apology. I said what I said.” 

The segment goes completely off the rails when Phillip asks Cam about the rumors of Diddy mistreating his artists. Cam’ron paused before answering to take a shot of his Pink Horse Power sex supplement. 

“Sorry, I’m gonna’ go get some cheeks after this horse power drink,” he responded before brushing off the question and plugging his podcast.  

However, by the time Phillip tried to ask about what was known about the Bad Boy Records founder behind the scenes, Cam had lost his patience. 

“Who’s the talent agent for this joint?” he questioned. “You think I be sitting around watching what Diddy do? I didn’t know this was a Diddy joint that y’all invited me to. Who booked me for this joint?” 

Cam’ron took to Instagram after the car crash interview to ask the question many were thinking.  

“F### they invite me on CNN for,” he wrote alongside a clip of the interview.

Kid Rock Was Reportedly Brandishing Gun & Screaming Racial Slurs In Recent Interview

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Kid Rock has once again stirred up controversy due to his alleged bad behavior.

On Sunday (May 19), Rolling Stone published a story in which journalist David Peisner accused Rock of brandishing a firearm and using racial slurs during their interview. The article details the chaotic encounter between the musician and Peisner, the increasingly erratic behavior of Rock, who was reportedly belligerent during the incident.

According to Peisner, Rock consumed several Jim Beam and Diet Coke cocktails before brandishing a handgun from behind a leather chair.

“And I got a f###ing g###### gun right here if I need it … I got them everywhere!” Rock allegedly yelled. Piesner also alleges the “American Bad Ass” musician also used the n-word multiple times while discussing politics and the history of the Republican Party.

When asked about immigrants, Rock reportedly agreed to them being described as “not humans” and further disparaged emigrating migrants as perpetrators of violent crimes.

“They’re murderers!,” Rock allegedly said. “They’re rapists! They are! MS-13! They just did the girl over here! They just did the girl in Nashville.”

Rock also appeared to reference his involvement in Bud Light’s 2023 controversy following a campaign with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. In his retort, he seemingly suggested that his legacy might include shooting up Bud Light cans. Despite previously boycotting Bud Light, he hinted at targeting other companies in the future.

“I don’t want to hurt people’s jobs and stuff like that when they don’t have any dog in the fight, but there’s a whole lot of other companies we should be going after,” he said.

The interview also touched on Kid Rock’s support for Donald Trump, who he attempted to call during the conversation, describing Trump as his “bestie” even as the former president sent him to voicemail.

The interview reportedly grew tense when Rock insisted Peisner stay the night, despite earlier derogatory remarks about the journalist’s college background and sexuality. Peisner siad Rock called him a “college snowflake” and dared him to “write the most horrific article” in hopes it could breathe new life into his career. As of now, Kid Rock has not responded to requests for comment on the Rolling Stone article.

Rolling Stone’s account is the latest in a series of incidents showcasing Rock’s controversial behavior. In 2019, he was widely criticized for a drunken, racist rant against Oprah Winfrey and Joy Behar during a performance at his Nashville bar. The incident prompted a backlash and renewed scrutiny of his often inflammatory public statements.

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

ScHoolboy Q is excited about the release of Vince Staples’ upcoming album—and has apparently been in the know about the Long Beach MC’s new music for several years.

On Saturday (May 19), Q hopped on Twitter (X) to share a message with all 2.5 million of his followers in support of Staples’ latest announcement regarding new music. In the brief message he shared in the tweet, Q appeared to foreshadow what’s to come from the new project.

The post is a quoted reply of a tweet Staples shared outlining the tracklist for the album Dark Times.

“THis album is crazy [Open hands emoji] like crazy crazy,” Q wrote in the tweet.

In the same thread, a Twitter (X) user reposted a tweet from 2017 that Staples shared in which he described the TDE rapper’s reaction to his fan-acclaimed album Big Fish Theory.

“SCHOOLBOY Q SAID THIS IS MY NEST MUSIC YET AND YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO A PERSON THATS UGLY LIKE THAT CAUSE HE DONT GOT NOTING TO LOSE SO WHY LIE!!” Staples wrote in the tweet.

Amber Rose Backs Donald Trump—Quickly Labeled A Hypocrite

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Amber Rose has shifted gears in a surprising Instagram post shared Monday (May 20), showing her support for President Donald Trump despite her past criticism.

The model and activist posted a photo with Donald Trump and Melania Trump at an undisclosed black-tie event, captioning it with “Trump 2024.”

Amber Rose, who has spoken about the similarities between Trump and her ex-boyfriend Kanye West, once remarked, “When I first seen Trump on the podium, I was like, ‘Oh my God, that is Kanye in a white man’s body.’ I really felt like they have the same personality, like completely the same personality.”

Rose has previously voiced her apprehensions about allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump.

“Imagine this: Donald Trump comes and touches me inappropriately…Do I call 911? Do I call the cop that lives in my neighborhood? Who do I contact?” she once questioned.

She also slammed Donald Trump for inviting women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault to a presidential debate, labeling it as “s###-shaming and victim-blaming at the same time.”

Despite her criticisms, Rose mentioned that she hoped Trump’s polarizing behavior was politically motivated, possibly intending to enact positive changes once in office.

Users swamped social media with criticisms of Rose’s apparent turnaround, particularly pointing out her work as an advocate for women’s rights, especially her annual SlutWalk event.

One user wrote, “Lol better never see you speak on women’s rights again!!” while another commented, “Damn Amber you’re supposed to be an advocate for Women wow so disgusted. Unfollowed.”

The backlash is steeped in context, given the numerous sexual assault allegations against Trump, including rape.

Critics are puzzled by why Rose, an outspoken critic on matters of sexual misconduct, would pivot to support a figure mired in such controversies.

Amber Rose’s role in the empowerment of women through her SlutWalk, a protest against sexism, body-shaming, and double standards, had earned her a strong following.

The annual event advocates for the rights of women to express themselves without fear of judgment or harassment.

The recent endorsement has stirred unrest among her followers, who see a conflict between her activism and newfound political stance.
