Jim Jones Challenges Cam’ron To $10M Boxing Match—Calls Out Mayweather 

Jim Jones is calling out Cam’ron for a boxing match to settle their differences—and he wants Floyd Mayweather to put up $10 million to make it happen. 

While their highly publicized feud seemed to have cooled off, Capo isn’t ready to let things go just yet and is challenging Cam to step into the ring for a professional fight.  

Jim Jones tackled the ongoing tension head-on during a fiery appearance on The Breakfast Club on Thursday morning (February 27), after Charlamagne said Cam’ron claimed all Capo does is “send people to jail.”  

“He’s a bird head,” Jones said of Cam. “He don’t want no smoke. He a boxer, right? I’ll box his head off. Where’s the ring at?” 

Jones had the entire fight mapped out and was ready to get in the ring immediately—if the price was right. 

“You getting money,” he continued. “Y’all do sports, $10 million right now. Today, n####. I’ll catch a flight wherever you at.” 

Jones then took it a step further, urging Cam to get boxing legend Floyd Mayweather involved. 

“You with Mayweather and them—$10 million. I’ll meet you in any boxing ring, yeah!” he challenged. “Now go make some jokes about that on your next show. I’ll box your head off—you know that, don’t play with me.”

Cam’ron has yet to respond to Jim Jones’ boxing challenge, but so far, the tension has remained verbal—though undeniably heated. Their feud, which began with interview comments, has since escalated into diss tracks and fiery exchanges across various platforms. 

During an explosive rant about Jim Jones on his podcast, Cam’ron accused him of failing to help his friends escape the streets. 

“Stop tricking n##### out their freedom bro. ‘Cuz n##### get around you to put they self in better situations bro. Not to be in worse situations than they was before they met you,” he said. “But then you send them on dummy missions and trick them out their freedom.”  

42 Dugg Responds After 50 Cent Drags Him Into Big Meech Feud 

42 Dugg didn’t mince his words when firing back at 50 Cent, who called him out for allegedly financially supporting Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory following his release from prison. 

The G-Unit honcho has made a habit of going after anybody affiliated with the former Detroit drug kingpin amid his ongoing feud.  

On Wednesday (February 26) 50 Cent took to social media, criticizing 42 Dugg for giving Big Meech money rather than helping out his friends. 

“Your daddy my [ninja emoji],” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram. “You made a mistake giving Screech a $100K you could have given that to your [ninja emojis]’s. You always been hard-headed. WTF.” 

Although 50 Cent later deleted the post, 42 Dugg quickly caught wind of the remarks and fired back on his Instagram Stories, challenging the rapper to prove Big Meech is a federal informant—or to leave him alone. 

“Can’t no n#### convince me to go against Detroit,” he asserted. “Either show me big bra ah rat or shut the f### up talking to me.” 

50 Cent responded to the Detroit rapper with his signature trolling, posting, “Why you think I care how you feel. LOL stupid.”

The tension between 50 Cent and Big Meech began in February 2025 after Meech appeared in a video with 50’s rival, Rick Ross, promoting a “Welcome Back” concert in Florida.  

The “Many Men” hitmaker accused Meech of being a “rat” and cooperating with authorities. He also threatened to release documents about Tammy Cowins, a former BMF associate.  

In response, Big Meech posted an edited photo of 50 Cent as a rat, calling him an “Internet Gangster.”  

The feud has escalated to involve others, including Lil Baby, Floyd Mayweather, Big Meech’s son and BMF series star Lil Meech, and even former G-Unit member Young Buck. 

PARTYNEXTDOOR Checks Tory Lanez But Quickly Walks Back Remarks  

PARTYNEXTDOOR is taking aim at Tory Lanez in an unreleased diss track, firing back at the incarcerated singer’s recent comments

On Wednesday night (February 26), Party took to Instagram Live to call out an unnamed rival, and he didn’t hold back, making his stance clear. 

“I’m not y’all n##### friends,” he began. “Stop saying my name.” 

It didn’t take long for fans to connect the dots, as he soon previewed a track directly targeting Lanez. 

“F### what Tory Lanez say… I’m running that,” PARTY croons. “I did everything he did he’s just a running man… drama man… I’m the daddy let me slap you okay.” 

He also clapped back at comparisons to Young Thug while seemingly throwing shade at Lanez for copying Meek Mill’s style. 

“You said I sound like Thug,” he continued. “You know you sound like Meek… One day, you’ll be me…” 

PARTYNEXTDOOR didn’t specify what led to his issue with his former collaborator, but Tory Lanez recently praised him during a video call from prison. 

“F###### PARTYNEXTDOOR showed his best work of 2025, f###### Drake showed his best work in 2025,” Tory Lanez declared. “The Weeknd show his best work of 2025, and now n#### it’s time for me to come out n####.

PARTYNEXTDOOR Reacts After Hearing Tory Lanez Remarks

However, it seems PARTY may have jumped the gun, as he apologized to Tory Lanez just hours after teasing the diss. On his Instagram stories, he clarified that he was informed of Lanez’s remarks but hadn’t actually heard them himself. 

“I was told about what you said without hearing your video for myself,” he wrote. “You didnt say anything that I wouldn’t say myself, now that I seen it I was wrong. City is stronger together.” 

It’s unclear how Tory Lanez will respond to PARTYNEXTDOOR’s diss and subsequent retraction, but he may choose to fire back on wax. Despite being incarcerated, Lanez continues to work on new music, though his latest recording session was interrupted by a prison riot, potentially delaying his upcoming project.

Lil Baby’s “Cowardly Acts” Led To Two Teen Murders, Atlanta PD Alleges

Lil Baby is being linked to a gang-related feud that led to the deaths of two teens, who were killed the day after a shooting at his video shoot last year. 

During a press conference on Wednesday (February 26), Atlanta Police announced the arrests of seven individuals in connection with the fatal shootings of 13-year-olds Jakody Davis and Lamon Freeman. 

Authorities claimed the boys’ deaths stemmed from a gang war ignited by a shooting at Lil Baby’s May 2024 music video shoot, which allegedly sparked a series of retaliatory shootings and homicides.  

The teens were ambushed while celebrating Freeman’s birthday in July 2024, a killing police allege was a direct result of the ongoing conflict. An unnamed 11-year-old was also reportedly shot at the party.  

Major Ralph Woolfolk called Lil Baby’s actions “cowardly,” stating he went into a rival gang stronghold where he knew he shouldn’t have been. 

“Lamont Friedman was allowed to be a 13-year-old for 27 minutes before gang violence ultimately took his life. Gang violence that was orchestrated by adults,” Woolfolk stated.  

He continued, “Cowardly acts of an Atlanta-based rapper that decided to go over into a rival gang stronghold and shoot a music video in a place that he knew he should not have been. In the subsequent days, we saw homicides and shootings and ultimately, the deaths of two children as a result of his cowardly actions.” 

Atlanta PD Working “Relentlessly” To Hold Lil Baby Accountable For Shooting

Investigators said a high-ranking member of the gang opposing Lil Baby’s gang called in a hit on the teens from inside a Georgia prison, per WSB-TV Atlanta. That person was not identified.  

Although Woolfolk did not mention Lil Baby by name, the outlet confirmed he was the rapper referenced. 

“You know who you are,” Woolfolk said, addressing Lil Baby directly. “And I tell you that this team will work relentlessly to hold you and the persons that you are affiliated with responsible for those actions.”  

Atlanta PD offered a $50,000 reward for additional information regarding the case. 

SIGNS: Apple’s iPhone Pins Donald Trump As “Racist” Amid Administration’s Negative Influence

Apple’s iPhone voice-to-text feature is causing a major stir after users noticed a glitch involving Donald Trump.

The issue was first exposed in a viral TikTok during which a user reveals when saying the word “racist,” the software briefly swaps it out for “Trump” before correcting itself. We put it to the test and confirmed that when users say “racist” into the iPhone’s dictation feature, “Trump” flashes on the screen for a split second before switching back.

And after multiple tests, the bizarre swap seems to be more than just a one-time mistake. While the word swap doesn’t happen every time, repeated tests suggest something deeper might be at play.

@user9586420191789

My dad sent me this video this morning. He told me his friend noticed that when he used speech to text and said “racist,” it briefly changed to “Trump” before changing back. Seems like subliminal messaging to me. I don’t have an iPhone and my phone doesn’t do it. #iphone #Trump #apple #elonmusk #fyp @Anna Matson @Aquarius_Waive @athena @David Gokhshtein @Doxielvr @Hello America @Jason Pargin, author @Jeffery Mead @Jeff Mead @Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo @J.D. Vance @Link Lauren @Tulsi Gabbard @user80861822781

Apple quickly responded, acknowledging the issue and promising a fix.

“We are aware of an issue with the speech recognition model that powers Dictation, and we are rolling out a fix as soon as possible,” an Apple spokesperson told FOX News. No word yet from Trump’s team, but with the former president’s controversial history, it’s no surprise this glitch is raising eyebrows.

The tech mishap comes at a time when Trump’s political influence continues to spark divisive reactions across the country, fueling a climate where hate and controversy thrive—including in corporate America.

In Ohio, the CEO of Engineered Structures, Inc., Tom Hill, was forced to resign after a video surfaced of him performing a Nazi-like salute on stage during a company event. According to the New York Post, the footage, which taken on February 20 at the Boise Center, shows Hill raising his arm in a gesture eerily similar to the Sieg Heil salute, with an image of Trump playing in the background.

As backlash erupted, Hill initially tried to downplay the incident, claiming the gesture was part of a “political skit” meant to mimic Elon Musk’s controversial move during Trump’s inauguration last month.

“Unfortunately, my recent attempt at parody fell short and is being used by others to unfairly judge me,” Hill stated, defending his actions before finally caving to public pressure and stepping down.

“It’s with a heavy heart that I resign as CEO and chairman of the board immediately,” Hill wrote in a later statement, admitting that while his actions weren’t intended to promote hate, they had “rightfully generated intense backlash.” He acknowledged the gesture’s historical significance, calling it “one of the most recognizable Nazi symbols” and a reminder of “an era that inflicted deep suffering on millions.”

Following Hill’s exit, ESI President Neil Nelson took over as CEO, vowing to repair the company’s reputation.

“Our focus now is on healing and moving forward. We are dedicated to ensuring that our mission remains clear,” Nelson said.

Dee-1 Explains How Fredo Bang Helped Him Reconcile With Meek Mill During Super Bowl LIX

Thanks to Fredo Bang, Dee-1 and Meek Mill have reconciled their differences with each other nearly three years after they first initially clashed publicly in 2023.

On Tuesday (February 25), Dee-1 appeared in a new interview with Revolt News, during which he revealed he and Meek connected and had a “heart to heart” during the Super Bowl LIX festivities in New Orleans earlier this month.

According to the rapper and activist Dee-1, he and his Philadelphia-bred rap counterpart were able to reach a meaningful reconciliation with each other following an impromptu meeting at a nightclub. Dee-1 started off describing how the encounter, which was facilitated by his fellow Louisiana native, rapper Fredo Bang, was really a last minute thing that occurred once he learned that Meek would be in his city.

“I just saw Meek Mill in the club during Super Bowl in New Orleans,” Dee-1 shared.

While Dee-1 is not one to frequent clubs, he explained why made an exception that night.

“I went to the club because they told me Meek Mill was going to be there that night,” he said. “If he in my city and I got an opportunity to go, I got to go to the club to go link with him face to face to have a man-to-man talk.”

Dee-1 continued, thanking Baton Rouge rapper Fredo Bang for making sure the meeting went smoothly even amid the craziness of the Super Bowl.

“Shout out to my little brother, Fredo Bang, because he knows Meek personally,” Dee-1 said. “He facilitated it to make sure it was good. And I went, walked through, Meek had about 25 people with him.”

Dee-1 added, “We had a man-to-man talk in the middle of the club. And I love Meek Mill for that.”

While remarking on their discussion, which hinged on addressing the broader issues affecting the Black community, Dee-1 acknowledged that Meek’s perspective had evolved.

“I’ve been this way my whole career—Meek Mill has grown now and he’s seeing like, ‘dang, they do got some stuff in our culture that’s messed up,'” he said. “But Meek Mill is in it deeper than what I am.”

Dee-1 also noted that while they may not see eye to eye on everything, the dialogue fostered a newfound respect between them.

“When two men could talk and be like, ‘yo, I’m hearing your heart, you hearing my heart,’ we ain’t even got to agree on everything, but we going to leave with a greater level of respect for each other than we had before that talk,” he said.

Since their meeting, Dee-1 has stayed in touch with Meek and continues to root for his growth and impact.

“I’ve texted him since then and it’s something to where I am rooting for this brother because a better Meek Mill equals a better Black community.”

In a comment on the post Revolt News shared featuring the clip from the interview, Dee-1 commented sharing his optimism on the future ahead for his relationship with Meek.

“Communication leads to unification,” he wrote. “Big shoutout to @meekmill and to my bro @fredobang. A shift is happening.”

Rihanna Says Fashion Became “A Fight” After Having Kids

Rihanna is stepping back into the world of high fashion after devoting the last two years to motherhood, revealing that she’s finally having fun with style again after spending time in “mom mode.”

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar, the Grammy Award-winning artist and Fenty mogul candidly admitted that after welcoming her sons RZA and Riot with A$AP Rocky in 2022 and 2023, respectively, her once-bold approach to dressing took a backseat to practicality and exhaustion.

“I feel like getting dressed is a fight on its own (now),” Rihanna shared. “Everything is so … logical. What makes sense? What’s easy? What’s fast? I try not to overthink all that stuff, but you’re leaving the house. It kind of stops you from going out. How much energy do I have to put into getting ready? Doing my make-up, doing my hair, and then going to the closet and figuring out which three things in this entire room make sense together? You go through a fog. And fashion is so much fun, and I miss the fun.”

Known for effortlessly pushing boundaries in both music and style, Rihanna admitted that the creative spark behind her fashion choices had dimmed while adjusting to life with two young children. But now, that spark is flickering back to life.

“Now I’m starting to just remember what I loved about it: the juxtaposition, putting the things together that don’t make sense,” she said. “My fashion has always been driven by my mood, and my mood was on mom mode for a minute.”

Even though she enjoys serving up well-thought-out looks when she steps out in public, the 37-year-old singer confessed that not every outing calls for a full glam session. Sometimes, comfort wins—especially when food is involved.

“I went to Giorgio’s (restaurant) the other night in my Savage onesie,” she said. “I was like, ‘The only thing I’m going to do right now is put heels on,’ and that’s it. I just want to eat. Why do I have to dress up for that? I just want the food.”

Diddy’s Mom Sued By Bad Boy Entertainment Co-Founder Over Ownership Stake

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mother, Janice Smalls, is facing a new lawsuit over her majority stake in Bad Boy Entertainment.

According to legal documents obtained by Daily Mail on Wednesday (February 26), the lawsuit, filed by Kirk Burrowes, co-founder and former president of the label, alleges that Smalls played a role in a decades-long scheme to defraud him of his rightful ownership.

Burrowes claims that in 1996, Diddy used a baseball bat to intimidate him into signing over his 25 percent stake in the company, which was later transferred to Smalls. Burrowes states that he was ambushed in his New York City office by Diddy and Bad Boy Entertainment attorney Kenneth Meiselas. The lawsuit describes how Burrowes, fearing for his life, was forced to sign away his shares while in tears. Smalls was not present at the time, but Burrowes alleges she directed the act and later feigned ignorance when he sought her guidance.

Burrowes, who claims he is now homeless, accuses Smalls of engaging in “intimidation, violence, fraudulent misrepresentation, and financial concealment” to maintain control over the label. He claims that after being pushed out, he was blacklisted from the music industry, sabotaged financially and deprived of the wealth he helped generate for the company.

He is now seeking $100,000, he asserts he is owed, along with additional damages, reinstatement of his 25% ownership stake, his annual share of profits and a full forensic audit of Bad Boy Entertainment’s financial records.

The lawsuit against Smalls comes as Diddy’s past dealings with former Bad Boy artists continue to draw scrutiny.

In 2023, Diddy made headlines for returning publishing rights to several artists once signed to Bad Boy Entertainment, including Ma$e, The LOX and 112. However, former Bad Boy rapper Mark Curry was vocal about his dissatisfaction with the move, claiming that the publishing rights had lost their value and were now worth less than $500 per year.

Curry, best known for his feature on Diddy’s 2001 hit “Bad Boy for Life” dismissed Diddy’s gesture as an attempt to stay relevant.

“Diddy gave the publishing back… So what? It has no value,” Curry said, arguing that financial compensation would have been a more meaningful restitution.

Yasiin Bey FKA Mos Def Rips Into Streaming Services: They Are “Gross” & “Exploitative”

Yasiin Bey—formerly known as Mos Def—unleashed sharp criticism on the modern music industry, likening its greed to the cartoon tycoon Scrooge McDuck.

In a no-holds-barred interview with The Guardian, Bey revealed his early disillusionment with the business, saying it drained his enthusiasm for making music long ago.

“I was so disillusioned,” Bey said. “You start out with idealism and passion, and then you encounter the kind of conduct and values George Orwell called ‘inanities.’ And they do this s**t to everybody, it’s not even personal, it’s systemic.”

He didn’t stop there. Bey blasted streaming services, calling their business model “gross” and “exploitative” for paying artists fractions of a cent per song.

“That s### is gross, paying people part of a penny for their music,” he said, slamming current industry practices. “Those motherfuckkers are cold-blooded, man, like Scrooge McDuck, lickin’ his lips as he jumps into a pool of gold coins… The music industry of now makes the one I started out in seem charitable. It’s completely exploitative.”

Bey has long been outspoken about the economics of the music business, and his views align with many artists who feel streaming platforms profit off their work while giving little in return. While record labels and streaming giants defend their revenue-sharing models, artists continue pushing back, demanding fairer compensation.

Despite his frustrations, Bey expressed gratitude for the opportunity to keep creating. His latest project, Forensics, is expected later this year, and he remains focused on the bigger picture.

“I’m just happy to be alive, to be able to create art and beauty, to the best of my ability,” he said. “Like, to be a human being is a miracle. We’re on this spaceship, planet Earth, sharing this experience, and it’s crazy. Like, who needs peyote? We’re already in outer space, baby.”

SIGNS: DoorDash To Pay Nearly $17M To New York Gig Workers After Using Tips To Cover Wages

A years-long scandal affecting DoorDash delivery gig workers has finally come to an end.

Food delivery giant DoorDash has been caught red-handed shortchanging its workers, using customer tips to subsidize wages instead of allowing drivers to pocket them. According to the Associated Press the company has agreed to fork over nearly $17 million to settle claims, which New York Attorney General Letitia James announced on February 24.

James didn’t hold back, calling out DoorDash for deceiving both workers and customers. The company’s shady pay model, used between May 2017 and September 2019, promised delivery drivers a base rate per order. However, behind the scenes, customer tips were quietly offsetting the company’s costs instead of being added to driver earnings.

“This is just fundamentally unfair,” James declared during a fiery press conference in Manhattan. She emphasized that customers had no clue their generous tips weren’t actually boosting worker pay, but were instead helping the multi-billion-dollar company pad its bottom line.

As part of the settlement, DoorDash will shell out $16.75 million in restitution to affected New York workers. Delivery drivers who made trips during the affected years will soon be contacted by a settlement administrator to claim their share of the payout.

Despite agreeing to the massive payout, DoorDash isn’t exactly waving a white flag. In a statement released following news of the multi-million dollar settlement, the company defended its past actions.

“While we believe that our practices properly represented how Dashers were paid during this period, we are pleased to have resolved this years-old matter and look forward to continuing to offer a flexible way for millions of people to reach their financial goals,” the statement read.

DoorDash insists it has since changed its pay structure, but critics argue that this case is just another example of the ongoing exploitation of gig workers. The controversy follows a string of similar scandals, including the high-profile Uber case that exposed how drivers were struggling to make ends meet without proper benefits like healthcare. That case, which gained momentum around 2020, led to major legal battles over worker protections and the classification of gig economy laborers in California and other states.

In yet another major win for gig workers, Attorney General James secured a staggering $328 million settlement in November 2023 after an investigation found that Uber and Lyft had withheld earnings and failed to provide essential benefits to their drivers.

Jeezy Goes To War With Ex-Managers Alleging Financial Deception

Jeezy is suing his longtime manager Solomon Fornie and business associate Eddie Bridgeman, claiming they concealed financial records and enriched themselves at his expense.

According to legal documents filed Monday (February 24) and obtained by TMZ, the rapper alleges that Fornie and Bridgeman blocked his access to critical accounting records, preventing him from managing his own business affairs.

Jeezy, who co-founded Agency 99 with Fornie to oversee his earnings as a recording artist, says he brought in Bridgeman’s SaiSai Group to handle financial oversight—only to later discover Bridgeman was not a licensed CPA.

By late 2024, Jeezy says he grew frustrated with the lack of transparency and tried to sever ties, but his attempts to access Agency 99’s books have been denied. Without those records, he’s unable to take necessary legal steps for either reinstating or dissolving the company under Georgia law, prompting him to take the matter to court.

Agency 99, a company known for talent management, brand development and creative marketing, has played a key role in Jeezy’s career, even overseeing the release of tracks such as J.E.E.Z.Y. (2006) and Legal (2008). However, the dispute has turned the business partnership into a courtroom showdown, with Jeezy now demanding financial transparency and seeking damages.

The lawsuit marks a dramatic shift from what was once a trusted working relationship. After more than a decade of collaboration, Jeezy’s battle for financial clarity sends a strong message about control over his career and earnings.

BigXthaPlug Arrested In Texas During Routine Traffic Stop 

Texas-bred artist BigXthaPlug has reportedly been arrested on a possession of marijuana charge. Police nabbed the rising rapper in Arlington, Texas, on Wednesday morning (February 26), TMZ reports.  

He was taken into custody during a traffic stop for driving with expired tags. Cops reportedly smelled marijuana and found a suspicious green substance in the vehicle. A search of the car revealed marijuana in the console and a handgun in the passenger door pocket. 

BigXthaPlug, whose real name is Xavier Landum, was charged with possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana. Another individual, Cleodist Landum, was also in the car and arrested on an outstanding felony warrant. Landum faces additional charges for unlawful carrying of a weapon. 

BigXthaPlug is currently being held at the Arlington City Jail. 

The arrest comes just over a week after Lil Baby announced BigXthaPlug as an opener for the WHAM Tour. 

He is set to perform at all U.S. dates—except Los Angeles—starting with the Houston, Texas, show at the Toyota Center on June 3. NLE Choppa and Loe Shimmy will also appear at most U.S. stops.

BigXthaPlug is also scheduled to join Lil Baby for the Australian shows in October, though it remains uncertain whether his recent charges will impact his ability to travel and perform. 

The rising Southern rap sensation, who hails from Dallas, Texas, initially pursued a football career before pivoting to music. He turned to music after a period of incarceration, where he wrote his first raps while in solitary confinement.  

BigXthaPlug dropped his debut mixtape, Bacc from the Dead, in December 2020. He followed up with his debut album, Amar—named after his son—in February 2023. Since then, he has amassed millions of streams, with standout track Texas earning a gold certification.  

Ashanti Reveals Baby Plans With Nelly Amid Pregnancy Rumors 

Ashanti is opening up about her and Nelly’s plans to expand their family amid rumors that they’re expecting their second child. 

The longtime fan favorites quietly walked down the aisle in December 2023 after rekindling their romance nearly two decades after their split. However, they kept their wedding a secret until the following year. 

They welcomed son Kareem Kenkaide “KK” Haynes in July 2024, and speculation has been rife that the singer is pregnant with their second child. 

Ashanti gushed about motherhood and future baby plans during a recent E! News interview. 

“I am feeling amazing, incredibly pleased, humbled,” she explained. “My life has completely changed for the better. I feel full, you know? My cup is full.” 

Ashanti shared adorable updates about their baby, saying, “He’s clapping now, noticing everything.”  

She continued, “He loves Facetime—grabs the phone, puts his whole face into it, and just starts laughing and smiling. Oh, and he’s even standing up in his crib now, holding on, and looking so proud of himself.” 

While balancing her upcoming movie, No Address, Ashanti confirmed she and Nelly “absolutely” plan to grow their family, hinting that a baby girl is in their future. 

“We’re going to add some more,” she added. “Definitely a girl to balance it out. I’m outnumbered in the house right now. So, a girl would be great.” 

Rumors have circulated for months that Ashanti is pregnant with her second child. The speculation goes as far back as November, just months after welcoming their son.  

Nelly and Ashanti recently enjoyed a fun-filled double date with friends Ja Rule and Aisha Atkins.  

During their outing at a bowling alley, Nelly had everyone laughing with his spot-on impersonation of Ja Rule’s signature rap voice, leaving Ashanti in stitches.

Jam Master Jay’s Killer Karl Jordan Stabbed At MDC During Gang Fight 

One of the men convicted of killing Hip-Hop icon Jam Master Jay has reportedly been stabbed in Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC).  

Karl Jordan Jr. was awaiting sentencing for his role in the killing when he was attacked last weekend, the NY Daily News reported Tuesday (February 25).  

A source told the outlet that a fight erupted between rival gangs, and while the 41-year-old survived the stabbing, he was transported to the hospital for treatment of his injuries. 

A Bureau of Prisons spokesman confirmed that two inmates were injured in a brawl involving “multiple incarcerated individuals,” but did not specify whether Jordan was involved. 

In January 2024, Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington were found guilty of the 2002 murder of the Run-DMC legend.   

Jordan was Mizell’s godson, and Washington was a childhood friend. Both men were arrested in 2020, nearly 18 years after the murder.  

Jam Master Jay was shot and killed inside his Jamaica, Queens recording studio on October 30, 2002. Prosecutors argued that Jordan and Washington killed Jay over a failed cocaine deal. 

Eyewitnesses testified that Jordan shot Mizell while Washington guarded the door. 

A second shooting victim, Tony Rincon, testified that Jordan “walked directly to Jay, kind of gave him half a handshake and at the same time.” That’s when he said he heard a couple of shots and saw Jay fall to the ground. 

Jordan and Washington face 20 years to life in federal prison. Washington is seeking a reversal of his conviction or a retrial. A third suspect, Jay Bryant, was charged in 2023 and will face a separate trial. 

Prosecutors say Bryant “was involved, but he’s not the killer.” He was charged in 2023 for his alleged role in facilitating the murder by helping Jordan and Washington gain access to the studio through a fire escape. 

MDC Brooklyn, home to high-profile inmates like Hip-Hop mogul Diddy and alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione, has gained a notorious reputation for its poor conditions and persistent issues.  

Complaints of rampant violence, deplorable living conditions, and severe staffing shortages are widespread. The facility has seen multiple inmate deaths, including fatal stabbings and suicides, contributing to its infamous status. 

Diddy’s Legal Team Accuses Tony Buzbee Of Misconduct & Unauthorized Practice Of Law 

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team is firing multiple accusations at attorney Tony Buzbee, including professional misconduct, unauthorized practice of law, and violations of court rules in their opposition to Buzbee’s motion for admission to practice law pro hac vice in the Southern District of New York. 

The issue stems from The Committee on Grievances for the Southern District of New York denying Buzbee’s petition for admission on February 13. The denial was due to Buzbee appearing in cases in the Southern District without first seeking proper admission.  

Buzbee is required to attach a copy of this denial order to any future motions or petitions for pro hac vice or regular admission to the court. 

Despite this denial, Buzbee claims he is licensed to practice law in New York State and is in good standing with the state bar. 

However, Diddy’s attorneys allege Buzbee, who has filed multiple lawsuits against the incarcerated Hip-Hop mogul, signed multiple filings across 22 cases without permission to practice in the court. 

The rapper’s legal team filed a Memorandum of Law opposing Buzbee’s amended motion, arguing the attorney failed to disclose that he had filed without being admitted in each instance. 

“In our collective decades of practice, undersigned counsel have never opposed a pro hac vice application, and we do not do so lightly here,” Diddy’s legal team stated in the filing. “But Buzbee’s egregious misconduct warrants denial of the privilege of appearing in this District.” 

The filing also alleges Buzbee violated New York’s Rules of Professional Conduct by repeatedly insisting on Combs’ guilt in pending criminal charges without a good faith basis. 

Additionally, Diddy’s attorneys claim Buzbee has made numerous public statements that potentially violate professional and ethical obligations, including “opining on Mr. Combs’ guilt on criminal charges. 

“Even though none of Mr. Buzbee’s clients is expected to testify at Mr. Combs’ criminal trial,” the filing continues, “Mr. Buzbee’s extrajudicial statements here are likely to prejudice Mr. Combs’ criminal case as they unambiguously express ‘opinion as to the guilt or innocence of a defendant.’” 

Further, Diddy’s lawyers say Buzbee “Has falsely accused Mr. Combs of sexually abusing dozens of children,” despite no such charges being filed. 

Despite being notified by the Committee on Grievances about unauthorized practice violations, Buzbee reportedly took no corrective action.  

Diddy’s attorneys argue when confronted with reports of being barred from practicing in New York, Buzbee publicly dismissed them as “trash” and “pure bunk.” 

Meanwhile, Jay-Z’s legal team is also striking back at Tony Buzbee, filing a motion to dismiss his lawsuit that accuses Roc Nation and its attorneys of hatching a scheme to pay his former clients for dirt on the controversial lawyer. 

Snoop Dogg Responds To Suge Knight’s Explosive Claims About Tupac Shakur’s Murder  

Snoop Dogg is dismissing Suge Knight’s latest shocking claims linking him to Tupac Shakur’s death, suggesting the Death Row Records co-founder is simply bitter over Snoop’s 2022 takeover of the label. 

Earlier this week, Knight fueled speculation by repeating rumors Snoop had confessed to involvement in Shakur’s murder. He also alleged that Snoop was attempting to bail out the man accused of orchestrating the West Coast rap legend’s killing. 

However, Snoop brushed off Knight’s remarks on Instagram, calling him out for lying.  

“This n#### want stop talking about me,” he wrote alongside a clip of Suge Knight alleging that Snoop Dogg wants Keefe D out of jail. “Mad cuz I Own death row I realize your real lies.” 

Knight made the allegations during an interview with The Art of Dialogue published Monday (February 24).   

“Since I’ve been in here, Snoop and other people been having people trying to bail the guy out, Keefe D, because he talking too much,” Knight began. “They even had somebody talk to me and say, “Hey! You can help him get free.’ I said, ‘Look, I don’t have nothing to do with none of that and I’m not leaving prison to go to nobody county jail.’”   

He doubled down on his claims, adding, “Apparently Keefe D’s telling it all, you know what I mean?”  while hinting at potential damaging ties between Snoop, others, and Sean “Diddy” Combs. “And more he talk the more they’ll get hurt by the situation.”

Suge Knight Claims Snoop Dogg Admitted To Funding Tupac Shakur’s Murder

Additionally, in an earlier interview, the incarcerated former music executive claimed Ray J told him Snoop confessed to being involved in the death of Tupac Shakur.   

According to Knight, the singer claimed Snoop admitted to him that he was one of “the people who put bread to kill ‘Pac.’” 

Snoop Dogg was one of Death Row Records’ first major artists, releasing his debut album “Doggystyle” in 1993 under the leadership of Dr. Dre and Suge Knight.   

Their relationship deteriorated in the late 1990s, leading to Snoop leaving the label. He went on to buy the label from previous owners, MNRK Music Group, in 2022.  

Knight later questioned the legality of the deal, claiming that his ex-business partner, Michael “Harry-O” Harris, committed bankruptcy fraud to get the company from him. 

Kanye West Addresses Rumors He Recorded Verse On Bhad Bhabie’s Alabama Barker Diss 

Kanye West is setting the record straight, shutting down claims that he recorded a verse for Bhad Bhabie’s Alabama Barker diss after a snippet of an alleged remix featuring Ye surfaced online.  

Earlier this week, the “Gucci Flip Flops” hitmaker dropped the visuals for her “Ms. Whitman” diss, which samples West and Ty Dolla $ign’s single “Carnival.” 

The music video features a lookalike of her rival’s rockstar father, Travis Barker, who is married to West’s ex-wife’s sister, Kourtney Kardashian. The track also references the famous family, even alluding to Kim, implying that the rocker wanted her but ended up with Kourtney instead. 

Kanye West has finally addressed the situation, explaining why he cleared the sample for Bhad Bhabie’s track. However, he distanced himself from the drama, making it clear he wants no part in the beef. 

“I’m not in the middle of none of this AI beef; people throwing my voice on things—the whole ‘Carnival’ sample,” West said in a video. “I just talked to Travis Barker; I would never be in the middle. I don’t even know what’s going on.” 

West further explained that he “always” approves samples due to his own past struggles with clearance. 

“I’m not cool with being put in the middle of all this at all,” he concluded. “So any verse that be going viral using my voice and all that, it’s like, I didn’t do it.”

Bhad Bhabie Thanks Kanye West & Bianca Censori For Clearing Sample

Bhad Bhabie previously thanked Kanye West and Bianca Censori on Instagram. She also shared a text message purportedly stating that the rapper preferred her version over the original.  

She later denied going live and leaking the alleged Kanye West verse but Barker accused her of lying.  

Nonetheless, Bhabie continued taunting Barker, urging her to drop another diss. Judging by her most recent Instagram Story, it appears Barker is doing exactly that.

Joy-Ann Reid Delivers Powerful Message At Divine 9 Presidents’ Town Hall

Veteran journalist emphasizes information literacy as Black Greek organization leaders unite for historic summit

Veteran journalist Joy-Ann Reid delivered a compelling address on combating misinformation during the landmark “D9 Situation Room: Council of Presidents Town Hall” held virtually yesterday. The event brought together the presidents of all nine historically Black Greek-letter organizations in a rare display of unified leadership.

Reid, the former host of MSNBC’s The ReidOut and a Divine 9 member herself, served as the keynote speaker for the non-partisan gathering that drew over 24,000 registrants.

“We are living in an age of disinformation,” Reid told attendees. “It is so important that we look for trusted sources of information… One of the reasons we did The ReidOut was to distill all of the noise and understand what is actually factual and true.”

During her address, Reid highlighted the dangers of spreading unverified information, particularly in Black communities where misinformation can have serious consequences. She urged members to rely on established news sources like The New York TimesReutersBBC, and The Associated Press rather than social media channels.

To illustrate her point, Reid shared a recent example involving federal workers who received a mass email appearing to require justification of their job performance. “After investigation, we learned this email lacked proper authorization and was not legitimate,” she explained, demonstrating the importance of verification before reaction.

The town hall, described by organizers as “just the beginning,” focused on three key objectives: mobilizing Black communities, identifying reliable information sources, and maintaining engagement at the local level.

“No one sorority or fraternity can do all this work alone,” stated one organization president during the panel discussion. “Partner with another D9 organization in your community so that your voices and your work are amplified.”

The event showcased unprecedented collaboration among the Divine 9 leadership, who collectively represent hundreds of thousands of members nationwide. Leaders discussed practical strategies for pooling resources and supporting Black-owned businesses, with several presidents announcing plans for joint initiatives in the coming months.

More than 10,000 members actively participated in the live chat, reflecting the high level of engagement among Divine 9 organizations. The presidents acknowledged this enthusiasm and assured members that more collaborative efforts would follow.

“There’s a lot of excitement about next steps,” one D9 leader noted. “We are convening together to act together.”

The presidents also reminded attendees about available resources within their organizations, including 501(c)(4) entities and political action committees that can advance community interests.

As the event concluded, the collective leadership emphasized their long-standing commitment to community service: “We’ve been around for a long time. We’re not new to this, but we are absolutely true to this.”

The town hall marks one of the most significant collaborations among Divine 9 organizations in recent years, potentially signaling a new era of coordinated action among these influential Black Greek-letter organizations.

J. Cole Predicts Bleak Future For Music Industry With “cLOUDS”

J. Cole’s heads are in the “cLOUDS” in his new release, and with his bird’s eye perspective, he issues a chilling preemptive prediction for the state of the music industry in the coming years.

Last week, the Dreamville mastermind shared the track via the blog attached to his Inevitable audio series mere days after he vowed to be more “consistent” in his approach to updating the forum and releasing music for his fans and supporters. The aforementioned track “cLOUDS” captures some of J. Cole’s most introspective and thoughtful bars as he contemplates his mortality in a world changing faster than he appears to be aging.

“Just wanted to share,” J. Cole wrote in the blog attached to the track. “Made this a few days ago, then i added a second verse and was like ‘man I got a blog now, I can put whatever I want up there.'”

He added, “I didn’t have a title 20 minutes ago when I decided to really put this up. But now I got one ‘cLOUDs’. – produced by DZL, Omen, and small contributions from me.”

Along with sharing a brief forward for the track, revealing the producers and other details about the record, Cole also shared the poignant lyrics for the release. In the second and final verse of the song, Cole gets candid about the state of the world, revealing his opinion that the erasure of humanity is slowly eroding before our eyes by technology.

“I seen babies turn fiends, addicted to the screen/Their dad share’s, Cashier’s replaced by machines,” he raps. “Don’t buy, subscribe so you can just stream/Your Content, like rent you won’t own a thing/Before long all the songs the whole world sings’ll/Be generated by latest of ai regimes/As all of our favorite artists erased by it scream/From the way side, “ayyy whatever happened to human beings!?”

The comments section on the blog erupted with praise, as fans appeared to celebrate J. Cole’s renewed efforts to rollout his anticipated album The Fall-Off.

“This good for about 3 months,” a user wrote before adding, “Please take your time in that album you understand it now.”

Another user added, “Jermaine .. this is absolutely an amazing masterpiece. Thank You, Thank you & Thank you again!”

Additionally, another user commented on how “cLOUDS” speaks volumes to the growing trend of loss of ownership within the digital age.

“Love the bars about ai and people being comfortable with not owning anything nowadays,” the user wrote. “Ive went back to an Ipod and purchasing cd’s and music off of bandcamp when i can to make sure i get to keep what I pay for and to give the artists more money. Streaming doesnt pay s###.”
