Donald Trump Launches “Trump 2028” Gear Stirring Up Term Limit Chaos

By: London JennnCategory: AHHplus

Donald Trump has rolled out “Trump 2028” gear through his company’s online store in April 2025, fueling speculation about a possible third presidential bid despite constitutional limits.

The merchandise—red caps for $50, T-shirts for $36 and beer koozies for $18—features slogans like “Rewrite the Rules” and “The future looks bright,” phrases that appear to nod at Trump’s long-running hints that he’s not done with the Oval Office just yet.

Trump told NBC News in March, “A lot of people want me to do it… I’m not joking.” He previously told Time magazine he “wouldn’t be in favor” of the 22nd Amendment, which restricts presidents to two terms.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, clearly bars any U.S. president from serving more than two terms. 

However, Trump and his allies have repeatedly floated the idea of finding a workaround. “We’re working on it,” former White House strategist Steve Bannon said, claiming a “team” is exploring legal avenues to challenge the rule.

The Trump Organization’s online store leans into the idea with product descriptions encouraging buyers to “make a statement” and “change the game.” The marketing language mirrors Trump’s long-standing strategy of turning political controversy into brand loyalty.

Eric Trump Hints At Donald Trump’s 2028 Run- “Never Say Never”

Eric Trump joined the promotional push by posting a photo of himself wearing the red “Trump 2028” hat on social media with the caption “#NeverSayNever.”

Asked about the merchandise, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told NBC News, “Refer to the Trump Organization since it’s their website,” before adding, “But it’s a cool hat, and I suspect it will be highly popular!”

Nonetheless, legal experts say a third term remains out of reach despite the buzz. Constitutional scholars have called the idea “fanciful” and “unconstitutional.” 

Still, Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, introduced a bill to exempt Trump from term limits—a move widely seen as symbolic with little chance of passing.

Critics argue the merchandise campaign is more than just a marketing stunt. Some Democrats and legal analysts say it erodes democratic norms and flirts with authoritarian messaging.

Young Thug Teams Up With Future On “Money On Money” Comeback Single

By: London JennnCategory: News

Young Thug has returned to the spotlight with a new single, linking up with Future on “Money on Money” just months after walking out of jail.

Released Friday (April 25), accompanied by a slick music video, the track marks Thug’s first solo drop since his October 2024 release and serves as the lead single for his highly-anticipated upcoming album UY SCUTI.

The song, produced by Southside, Wheezy Outta Here and Dez Wright, features Thug’s signature melodic flexing and Future’s slick delivery.

“Money on money, these millions, you dig?/Gon’ spend in this s### on my b#### and my kids,” Thug raps, while Future adds, “Spoiled little b#### wearin’ a Patek/Rose gold snake, she a baddie.”

Young Thug, Future – Money On Money

The song’s release followed a cryptic post on X, where Thug wrote, “It’s time. Red Planet,” alongside the launch of a merchandise site selling UY SCUTI vinyl, CDs and apparel. The album is expected to drop in May.

Thug and Future’s chemistry is nothing new. The duo first teamed up for their 2017 joint project Super Slimey and later collaborated on chart-toppers like “Relationship,” “Pushin P” with Gunna and “Way Too Sexy” with Drake.

According to Lil Baby, Thug was still pulling strings behind bars. “He was like, ‘Aye, call Pluto. I want y’all to do a tape together,'” Baby said during Spotify’s A Day in the Life. He also hinted at a possible trio project, saying, “We might have something big in store… [Thug] ‘s a lab rat. All he do is stay in the studio.”

Thug’s post-prison momentum has been building. After accepting a plea deal that gave him 15 years probation, he’s been working closely with Metro Boomin on the new album.

He’s also set to take the stage at Summer Smash 2025 in June, performing alongside Future.

The album title, UY SCUTI, is a nod to one of the largest known stars in the universe, a fitting metaphor for Thug’s ambitions. He first teased the project last month, and even wore a custom “UY SCUTI” jersey courtside at a Miami Heat vs. Golden State Warriors game. His girlfriend, singer Mariah The Scientist, sat beside him, holding a matching jersey that read “The Scientist.”

Boosie Badazz Fires Back At Kanye West’s Insults With Brutal NSFW Post

By: London JennnCategory: News

Boosie Badazz clapped back at Kanye West with a graphic and profanity-laced post on X after West insulted him during a livestream, calling him “poor” and saying he “smells.”

West made the remarks during a recent live stream with producer Digital Nas. “I know that n#### smell poor and I’ve never met him,” West said of Boosie. “That n#### is poor; what the f### I’m talking about, smell?” 

He added, “They took a p############ and made him smell s###. He talking himself.”

Boosie didn’t hold back in his response. The Baton Rouge rapper posted a heavily edited image of West appearing to perform oral sex on a man, clearly referencing West’s controversial lyrics from his recent track “Cousins.”

“I SMELL LOL NEVER,” he tweeted Thursday night (April 24). “YOUR MOUTH [SMELLS] LIKE A HAM N CHEESE HOT POCKET WHEN IT COME OUT THE MICROWAVE!! WHAT U NEED TO DO IS WATCH WHAT U TWEET BRO.”

Boosie continued, “U HAVE SONS WHO LOOK UP TO U N VALUE YOUR WORDS. U JUST MOTIVATED YOUR SON TO PUT A DICK N HIS MOUTH. YOURE MAKING YOUR SON SUSPICIOUS OF WHAT A DICK TASTE LIKE!! Ye ‘The professional dick sucker.’”

The reason behind West’s outburst remains unclear, but it follows previous tension between the two artists.

Kanye West Reacts To Boosie’s Car Crash

Earlier this month, after Boosie was involved in a car crash, West posted a now-deleted tweet implying divine retribution was at play. 

“Man, can everyone let this be a lesson: Don’t have handlers make you go against God’s favorite,” West wrote, hinting that those who cross him face consequences.

Despite their rocky history, Boosie had recently expressed sympathy for West after the rapper revealed disturbing childhood experiences in his song “Cousins.”

“DAM KANYE I FEEL BAD FOR THIS DUDE THIS DUDE BEEN THREW SOME S### BRA. THE RANTS MAKE SINCE NOW. THIS MAN WAS SUCKING DICK AS A CHILD,” Boosie wrote on X.

He continued, “SMH HIS MIND IS F##### UP I HATE HIM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS AS A CHILD THIS MAN COMING FOR ANY N EVERYONE WITH A RAPTURE WHOEVER WRONGED HIM N THEY IN TROUBLE.”

The two have clashed before, including when Boosie publicly criticized West for wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt and commenting on civil rights icons.

Ye’s “Cousins” Artwork Is Actually A Painting From Hitler’s Bedroom

By: Nolan StrongCategory: News

Ye’s latest single, “Cousins,” has drawn intense scrutiny not only for its explicit lyrics about incest and now the rapper is courting even more controversy – in a more subtle manner.

The artwork for “Cousins” features a painting once owned by Adolf Hitler, further fueling concerns about the rapper’s repeated admiration for the Nazi dictator.

The cover image for “Cousins,” now streaming on all major platforms, is “Leda mit dem Schwan” by German artist Paul Mathias Padua.

The painting, which depicts the Greek myth of Zeus seducing Leda in the form of a swan, was purchased by Hitler and displayed in his second bedroom at the Berghof, his mountain retreat in Bavaria.

The mythological theme was consistent with Hitler’s preference for classical images that aligned with Nazi ideals of Aryan beauty.

The Leda and the Swan motif has appeared in Western art since at least 1508, when Leonardo da Vinci created his own version.

However, Padua’s interpretation gained notoriety due to its Nazi ties.

The artwork is in line with Ye’s long-documented praise of Hitler. In 2025, he posted “I love Hitler” and “I’m a Nazi” on social media, echoing earlier comments from a 2022 interview with Alex Jones, where he said, “Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

Ye’s fascination with Hitler is not new. Former collaborators have said he read Mein Kampf and once considered naming an album after the dictator.

“Cousins” is no less controversial.

Ye details a sexual relationship with his male cousin that began in childhood and continued until he was 14. He describes how they read adult magazines together and reenacted what they saw.

He links his behavior to his cousin’s later crime—murdering a pregnant woman, for which he is now serving a life sentence.

The Internet Is A Terrible Place— Shannon Sharpe & Will Smith Suffer For It

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

Oh man, the internet is a horrible place. I have to admit, I lurk in some of the darkest corners online. And while I’m there, I see some wild things—like, truly terrible. I don’t even know how I come across them, but somehow, they show up. Sometimes they’re rooted in reality and other times..not at all.

Take this Shannon Sharpe situation. My guy might lose his ESPN job and a possible $100 million deal because of a YT Only Fans woman. People are calling him “Unc,” but at this point, he might be “Gramps” in real life. I can’t say exactly what happened, but this whole thing feels like a finesse. I’m not sure he’s out here “taking it.” It looks like they had some kind of weird “thing” going on that’s sketchy to us regular folks—but probably feels normal to them.

What’s definitely not normal is that she was 19 when they met, and he was 54. She’s now 20, and he’s 56. That’s… strange. But she’s allegedly an “OF model,” which puts some of it into perspective. With over 500,000 followers on Instagram, it kind of starts to make more sense.

I say all that to say—look what the internet did with this mess. AB put a battery in this one.

They made one of those weird AI dolls of Shannon Sharpe and his accuser bae. That’s wild. Disrespectful? Maybe. Funny? Also maybe. But one thing’s for sure: y’all can’t have anything without misusing it.

Now here’s part two of why the internet is a terrible place—what did Will Smith do to deserve this? Last time I checked, Big Will was that guy—someone we could count on to rep the culture in Hollywood. He’s given us movie after movie, hit after hit. One flop and y’all lose your minds. Just look at this below.

Whoever posted this clip didn’t even care about the context. They just ran with it and slandered our “Prince” of Hip-Hop. But here’s the thing: this is actually from a video Will posted earlier this year.

Makes a bit more sense now, right? The original poster tried to clean it up and show some love afterward, but I feel like the damage is already done. SAD!

50 Cent Makes Good On Threat With $5 Million Lawsuit Over “Skill House”

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

50 Cent has followed through on his warnings about Skill House by filing a $5 million lawsuit in Los Angeles to stop the horror film’s release, claiming he never signed off on using his name, image or voice.

And if you know 50, maybe the most grave mistake was playing with his money – because he claims he was never paid for his work on the project.

The Hip-Hop mogul is taking legal action against producer Ryan Kavanaugh and Skill House Movie LLC, accusing them of falsely promoting the movie as a “50 Cent Movie” and listing him as a star and producer without a finalized contract.

According to the lawsuit, Fif never authorized the use of his likeness or voice and says he was never compensated for his acting role or promotional involvement.

The dispute centers on 50 Cent’s claim that no final agreement was ever signed and that he would not have participated in the project without creative control and a formal deal.

The lawsuit states that the producers “have no signed agreement with Jackson, yet they continue to exploit his name and image.”

The legal filing follows weeks of public criticism from 50 Cent, who has repeatedly called out Kavanaugh online, referencing the producer’s past financial and legal issues, including his DUI.

Skill House was initially scheduled to premiere in July 2025 as part of the launch of the GenTV streaming platform. The lawsuit may prevent the film from ever seeing the light of day.

The suit seeks at least $5 million in damages and punitive damages and it asks the court to block the film’s release entirely until the matter is resolved in court.

Rapsody Could Be In “Snowfall” Spin-Off If Actress Gail Bean Has Her Way

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

We are getting some leftover Dreamville Festival content and it is giving us some good rumors! One of our favorite moments was a cool chat between Grammy-winning rapper Rapsody and actress Gail Bean. We know Gail from a lot of things, but she became an icon through her role as Wanda Bell on FX’s Snowfall. The duo caught up with Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur and they had a lot of laughs and fun that gave us some solid rumors.

Rapsody recently won her first Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance for the track “3:AM” featuring Erykah Badu. The song is a standout from her fourth studio album Please Don’t Cry. It’s a win for Rapsody’s career and Hip-Hop.

Then there’s Gail Bean, who’s captivated audiences with her portrayal of Wanda Bell in Snowfall. Starting as a young woman entangled in the drug scene of 1980s Los Angeles, Wanda’s character arc has been one of redemption and resilience. I love it.

A Potential Collaboration in the Works?

During their conversation with Jigsaw, Bean hinted at the possibility of Rapsody joining the upcoming Snowfall spin-off. “In the new season, you’re gonna see music,” Bean teased. “So maybe we can get a Grammy Award-winning, beautiful, amazing Black woman to come play a character.”​ Say less!

You gotta see the video to see Rapsody, Gail and Jigsaw create a new song on the spot about her getting her SAG card. “She gonna get that SAG card!” Bean yelled. You gotta see how how she gives love to Rap! And vice-versa The camaraderie between Rapsody and Bean was palpable. “Gail inspires me every time,” Rapsody said.

Here is a transcript!

Jigsaw: AllHipHop is here with two legends—one Hollywood, one not quite Hollywood, but since you got a Grammy, we putting you in Hollywood too!

Gail Bean: [Laughs] Rapsody!

Rapsody: Speak life!

Jigsaw: Speak life, that’s a fact! First off—how y’all doing? We’re out here at Dreamville. The sun gave us some grace today, some mercy. Y’all good?

Rapsody: I didn’t get out here till 5:30. I knew what was up.

Gail: I’ve been out here for a minute, but I ain’t gonna lie—seeing Rapsody brightened my day.
Refreshed my armpits—I’m feeling good!

Jigsaw: Refreshed your armpits!

Rapsody: Yeah, I got up and hovered by! (Rap was on crutches.)

Gail: You made my day too!

Jigsaw: Gail, I gotta ask—you’ve got a Snowfall spin-off coming. I’m excited.
I loved your character’s arc. Can you tell us a little bit about the new season?

Gail: In the new season, you’re gonna see music—so hopefully, we can bring in someone special.
You know what? There is music. So maybe we can get a Grammy Award-winning, beautiful, amazing Black woman to come play a character. I think me and her, side-by-side, would be fire. There are some real icons and legends from the ’90s LA music scene—especially powerhouse women—and we could both represent that.

You’re gonna see gangs, the ’90s, LA culture—it’s deep. That era is my favorite. The story is beautiful. I can’t say too much… but I said enough!

Jigsaw: And Rap’s already got the beanie on—she’s ready. Fit, fly, official!

Rapsody: Whole SAG card!

Gail: She gonna get that SAG card!

Rapsody: SAG chick!

Prayers Up: Gilbert Arenas Son Seriously Injured In Cybertruck Crash

By: Mike WinslowCategory: AHHplus

The son of former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas, Alijah Arenas, suffered life-threatening injuries in a violent car crash in Los Angeles early Thursday morning.

The accident placed the 18-year-old basketball phenom and USC commit in critical condition and cast uncertainty over his promising future in the sport.

According to authorities, the collision occurred around 4:55 a.m. on April 24 in the 7900 block of Corbin Avenue in the Reseda neighborhood.

Arenas was behind the wheel of a Tesla Cybertruck when the vehicle slammed into a fire hydrant and a tree. First responders arrived to find the truck engulfed in flames and heavily damaged.

Emergency crews pulled Arenas from the wreckage and transported him to a nearby hospital, where he was placed in a medically induced coma due to the severity of his injuries.

As of the latest reports, he remains in serious condition.

Arenasis is widely regarded as one of the country’s top high school basketball players.

A five-star recruit, he recently reclassified to the class of 2025 and committed to play for USC, turning down offers from powerhouse programs, including Kentucky, Kansas, Arizona and Louisville.

The Chatsworth High School standout made history by becoming the first player in LA City Section history to surpass 3,000 career points in just three varsity seasons.

He also led his team to consecutive CIF State final appearances and a regional title.

Arenas was named co-City Player of the Year, earned High School SI’s SoCal Offensive Player of the Year honors and scored 11 points in the 2025 McDonald’s All-American Game.

His sudden hospitalization has stunned the basketball world, as many had pegged him as a future NBA star.

Kanye West & Wife Hit Sex Shop After He Calls On Streamers To Promote Polarizing Album “For God”

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, appears to be firmly back by his side despite their rumored separation over his troubling tweets.

On Thursday (April 24), West appeared in a stream with Digital Nas and revealed he was spending time at a retreat in Spain. Some of the most viral and or controversial moments from the stream include a rant in which West speaks on Spanish Holy Week processions and Hitler while saying Jews are meant to be workers.

In a subsequent plea, the Chicago native called on streamers such as Adin Ross and Sneako to promote the rollout of his upcoming CUCK album, making his belief clear that they would comply with his request if they believed in God.

Neither of the clips spawned from West’s aforementioned rants have gained as much traction online, as the brief clip of his rumored estranged wife accidentally making an appearance on the stream.

“Are they streaming outside,” Censori responded to one of West’s associates, who alerted her she was on stream. “Oh s###,” she concluded while covering the phone’s camera with her hand once she realized she was blocking the stream.

Though the tweet above featuring the clip has racked up well over a million views in a matter of hours, it’s hardly the only piece of content linking West to Censori, who West claimed left him on April 3. The pair were also spotted having dinner at Indian fusion restaurant Cala d’Or on the Balearic Island of Majorca in Spain. On top of that, West and Censori began trending on social media on April 24 after video captured the pair reportedly visiting a sex shop in Spain together.

Shannon Sharpe Hit with New Allegations of Choking Female FS1 Staffer Amid $50M Lawsuit

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Unc has 99 problems and, well, here’s another one.

Shannon Sharpe‘s career is being torn apart. He’s already under the spotlight due to a $50 million r#pe lawsuit! Now, he has a new explosive new allegation! He allegedly choked a female production assistant during his time at FS1’s Undisputed. Whoa!

Two sources with knowledge of the incident told Front Office Sports that while Sharpe was cohosting Undisputed between 2016 and 2023, a serious workplace altercation occurred in which he allegedly put his hands on a female colleague in a choking motion. The sources say the matter never saw a courtroom but was quietly settled for several hundred thousand dollars. No formal charges or lawsuits were ever filed.

Sharpe’s camp quickly responded with a deflection, claiming, “There was no incident of choking involving Shannon on the FS1 set. On one occasion, he and a few colleagues were involved in some light physical interaction in a playful context.” Fox Sports chose not to comment, maintaining a firm “no response” stance when contacted.

This newly surfaced claim, whether “playful” or not, drops into a highly charged moment for Sharpe, who’s already under legal pressure in a Nevada civil case where a woman accuses him of rape during a rocky relationship that began when she was 19. That woman is represented by Tony Buzbee. This lawyer is best known for suing Jay-Z. All of this lines up because he recently leaked audio of Sharpe threatening to choke the plaintiff.

We’re putting this in the rumors, but it would fit right in the news very nicely based on the charges. I think we’re trying to give Unc the benefit of the doubt even thought it looks pretty bad.

Sharpe’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, didn’t deny the “choking” audio was real, but said it was taken out of context and was part of consensual “role-play” during the relationship. “It is our opinion, this is a classic case of blackmail,” Davis stated, revealing Sharpe offered up to $10 million to settle before the lawsuit was filed. Interesting.

There is more.

A decade ago, Sharpe was also forced to step away from CBS’s NFL Today after a sexual assault accusation. He did return after the restraining order was dismissed. All of this will flow into the perception and the court of public opinion.

Facing renewed scrutiny and calls for accountability, Sharpe announced he’s “electing to step aside temporarily” from ESPN duties, vowing to return by the start of the NFL preseason. ESPN echoed the seriousness, saying, “This is a serious situation, and we agree with Shannon’s decision to step away.”

Is a temporary setback? Or is Unc’s career unraveling in real time?

Ray J Changes Tune On Diddy After Suggesting Shannon Sharpe Should Whip Mogul 1,000 Times

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Ray J pivoted sharply on his stance toward Sean “Diddy” Combs, telling viewers during a livestream with YouTuber Sneako that he believes the embattled Hip-Hop mogul could walk away from his federal case despite facing serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

“Puffy ’bout to get out too, on the dead homies” Ray J said during the stream. “All that s### they’re trying to charge that n#### for is nonsense, bro. He did something bad that we all seen and that s###’s unacceptable, but that’s not what the charges are for. The charges are weak, and it’s not funny and it’s not okay.”

The remarks mark a dramatic reversal from Ray J’s earlier comments on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast in January 2024, where he called for Diddy to be publicly punished.

“The homie need a public whipping… 100 lashes… 1,000 lashes. That would help. 1,000 lashes from everybody that you’ve slained and hurt. 1,000 lashes publicly,” Ray J said at the time. “1,000, that would help. 1,000 lashes made by you, somebody your size that’s gon’ give it to him. Not my size. My arm hurts. Your size, n#### ain’t gon make it past nine.”

Ray J’s shift in tone comes as Diddy remains behind bars in New York, where he’s been held without bail since September 2024. His federal trial is scheduled to begin May 5, 2025, after a judge denied his request for a delay.

Diddy, 54, is facing five felony charges, including racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. Prosecutors allege the crimes occurred over a 20-year span and involved coercing women—sometimes with drugs or threats—into sexual acts, some of which were filmed and involved male sex workers.

He has pleaded not guilty and denies all allegations.

Meanwhile, Shannon Sharpe—once imagined by Ray J as the man to deliver public justice—now faces his own legal troubles.

The former NFL star and media personality is being sued for $50 million in a civil case involving rape accusations, making him an unlikely candidate for any moral high ground in the Diddy saga.

The judge presiding over Diddy’s case has ruled that most unrelated sexual assault claims will be excluded from trial, and most alleged victims will be allowed to testify under pseudonyms.

Karlie Redd Booked In Atlanta For Burglary: Here’s What She Stole

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Karlie Redd was arrested in Atlanta on April 22 on a felony burglary charge after allegedly breaking into her estranged husband’s home and stealing personal items during a heated divorce dispute.

The “Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta” was taken into custody by DeKalb County authorities after being accused of unlawfully entering the residence of Teleau Belton, her husband of less than a year.

According to court records, Karlie Redd allegedly accessed the home through a back door and took a watch, a birth certificate and a card.

The alleged break-in occurred on January 13, 2025, but the arrest came months later as tensions between the couple escalated.

The two married in 2024 and filed for divorce within six months. The case has since grown more contentious, with a judge recently ordering Belton to pay Redd over $18,000 per month in temporary spousal support.

Redd was released on a $15,000 bond following her arrest.

She waived her preliminary hearing and was ordered to stay away from Belton and the property in question.

The court also restricted any contact between the two outside of legal matters related to their divorce.

The arrest follows a reported domestic incident between Redd and Belton in February, which led to Belton filing for divorce.

The burglary charge adds another layer to the already public unraveling of their short-lived marriage.

Redd has not publicly commented on the arrest.

Shannon Sharpe Steps Away From ESPN To Deal With $50M Scandal

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Shannon Sharpe has temporarily stepped down from his ESPN duties as he confronts a $50 million civil lawsuit filed in Nevada accusing him of sexual assault and misconduct during a relationship he insists was consensual.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer and media personality issued a statement confirming his decision to pause his on-air role while addressing the allegations.

“My statement is found here and this is the truth. The relationship in question was 100% consensual. At this juncture I am electing to step aside temporarily from my ESPN duties,” Sharpe revealed. “I will be devoting this time to my family, and responding and dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me. I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason. I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming and ongoing support I have received from my family, fans, friends and colleagues.”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Shannon Sharpe (@shannonsharpe84)

The lawsuit, filed in Clark County by a woman identified as “Jane Doe,” accuses Sharpe of rape, battery and emotional abuse during a nearly two-year relationship that began in 2023 when the woman was 19 or 20.

She claims the former NFL star assaulted her twice—once in October 2024 and again in January 2025—and alleges he recorded their sexual encounters without her consent, sometimes sharing the footage with others.

According to the complaint, Shannon Sharpe allegedly threatened her life, choked her, and gained unauthorized access to her apartment.

The woman also claims he verbally abused her while a firearm was visible and that she tried to distance herself after he accidentally live-streamed a sexual act with another woman.

Shannon Sharpe has denied all accusations. His legal team has described the lawsuit as a “shakedown” and a “blatant set-up” orchestrated by the plaintiff and her attorney, Tony Buzbee, who is known for representing clients in high-profile sexual misconduct cases.

His attorneys have released what they say are explicit text messages that show a consensual relationship involving role-play and fantasy scenarios initiated by the woman.

Sharpe has also demanded the release of the full, unedited sex tape referenced in the lawsuit, claiming it will clear his name.

Shannon Sharpe plans to file a defamation countersuit and previously offered at least $10 million to settle the matter, which the plaintiff reportedly declined.

Ray J, Shaq & Matt Barnes Dragged Into Shannon Sharpe’s Drama

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Ray J and Shaq have now been sucked into the whirlwind news cycle surrounding the allegations former NFL player Shannon Sharpe is facing from a woman suing him in a $50 million rape lawsuit.

According to leaked voice messages, which began circulating on social media on April 24, former NBA player Matt Barnes is allegedly caught on recording soliciting the blackmail of Sharpe on behalf of Shaq. In the series of audio messages that have hit the web, from which the origin is currently unknown, Barnes is purportedly spreading the word that Shaq was looking for information about Sharpe weeks before his rape accuser filed the multi-million-dollar lawsuit in Nevada.

Barnes alleged voice message starts off by ambiguously recruiting help, as the former Los Angeles Laker purportedly said, “I don’t know if you’re on this kind of time, but, I was in a group chat the other day, or actually just yesterday and Shaq said he’s paying top dollar for any information on O-Boy.”

The message adds, “So, again, I don’t know if you’re on that kind of time or not, but Shaq is known to throw large sums of money around, so I just wanted to put that out there. I am quiet.

In another alleged audio message, Barnes is accused of directly name-dropping Sharpe and attributing Shaq’s search for dirt on him to their previous differences.

“He [Shaq] said, please, please, please keep it quiet,” Barnes alleged voice message started off. “He said that Shannon did some s### back from a while back and he’s been off ’em. So that’s why he’s doing this.
But please, please, please keep his name quiet.”

The alleged leaked voice messages follow details of the lawsuit against Sharpe revealing several disturbing allegations against the footballer-turned-podcaster. Gabriella Zuniga, previously referred to as “Jane Doe” accuses Sharpe of rape, battery, emotional abuse, and secretly recording their sexual encounters. According to the lawsuit, Zuniga and Sharpe’s relationship began in 2023, and she alleges assaulted her twice—once on October 2024 and again in January 2025. In response to the allegations, Sharpe’s attorney, Lanny J. Davis, released several sexually explicit messages allegedly sent by Zuniga, which allegedly reveal her initiating race play and requesting B### sexual contact.

While it’s completely unconfirmed whether or not Barnes or Shaq’s collusion led to the lawsuit itself, the leaked messages between Sharpe and his accuser can be traced to multiple social media reactions from users across multiple platforms. In fact, Ray J added his two cents on the matter on April 24 in a post he shared on Instagram in which he stood up for Sharpe by revealing an experience of his own with his ex-wife Princess Love.

“Maybe I’m tripping, but, like she told you to do some bondage stuff,” Ray J said in part. “I remember when when I did ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ and Princess [Love] had me in the bondage room. I had to the ball in my mouth, pause, they had me tied up and she was whipping me and beat me and s###—and then you know they wanted me to do that. I’m like, ‘look I don’t do all that.'”

Ray J added, “It was weird and it was painful and I hated it,” before referencing how Sharpe’s situation could be similar—while also suggesting he’s being falsely accused.

“It seemed like that’s what y’all was doing,” Ray J said. “Then, all of a sudden, when you get kinky with it like, ‘I’m gonna choke you outside I’m into it now,’ after she done tied you up, whipped you, put a b######## in you, or whateve it was that got you going. Which is to each is own, and I didn’t mean the b######## that’s not okay—now she’s trying to use it against [you].”

Further complicating matters, Sharpe released a statement on April 24 announcing his choice to remove himself from his work at ESPN in order to focus on responding to the accusations against him.

Slim Thug has responded to online rumors tying Houston mogul J. Prince to the recovery of his stolen jewelry after a break-in at his downtown penthouse during the NCAA championship game.

In a straight-to-the-point Instagram video, the Houston rapper made it clear: “J. Prince did not get my jewelry back. I did not call J. Prince.”

The speculation started after Slim Thug posted a video on Easter Sunday showing his jewelry had been returned. He captioned the post: “POV Thieves stole your jewelry, but GOD got it back.”

That post sparked a wave of comments suggesting J. Prince may have played a behind-the-scenes role in retrieving the items.

Slim Thug quickly set the record straight while still showing respect for the Rap-A-Lot Records founder.

“Let me tell you who J. Prince is,” he stated. “When I was young growing up, J. Prince was the n#### that was Slim Thug. That’s who J. Prince was when I was growing up. J. Prince had all the jewelry, the cars, everything n##### in the city want more than Slim Thug. How about that? Even to this day, you got to respect and look up to J. Prince. He got a f###### island, man. He got a f###### ranch.”

The veteran rapper added, “That’s inspiring… I got nothing but love for J. Prince and his family.”

Slim Thug also clarified that while he never signed with J. Prince, he once hoped to follow in his footsteps.

“He offered. I wanted to be the new J. Prince,” he said. “But no, that’s not who got my jewelry back.”

He also took a moment to call out those using his name and the situation to chase views.

Slim Thug’s Houston penthouse was burglarized on April 7 while he was in San Antonio watching the University of Houston Cougars play in the NCAA championship. 

According to Houston police, the suspects broke in between 3:30 p.m. and 11 p.m., making off with jewelry, cash and other valuables.

The rapper said he has surveillance footage of the suspects, describing them as four “Black dudes.”

As of now, no arrests have been made. The Houston Police Department is still investigating.

Damon Dash Continues To ignore Court Orders, Now It Could Cost Him

By: Nolan StrongCategory: News

Damon Dash is once again under legal pressure in New York as a federal judge considers sanctions after Dash and his company Poppington LLC failed to comply with court orders tied to a long-running financial dispute with filmmaker Josh Webber.

The latest development comes after Dash ignored discovery requests related to his assets, including film rights and company records, which plaintiffs say are necessary to collect on a judgment exceeding $800,000.

The court has now ordered Dash to respond by April 28, 2025, or face potential penalties for violating court directives.

According to court filings, Dash and Poppington LLC “failed to respond to discovery requests,” prompting Webber’s legal team to request the sale and turnover of documents tied to Dash’s business interests and intellectual property.

The goal is to identify and liquidate assets that could help satisfy the outstanding judgment which has ballooned and over $4 million.

This legal clash stems from a 2022 ruling where Dash was ordered to pay Webber and Muddy Water Pictures after falsely claiming ownership of the film Dear Frank.

The situation escalated in 2024 when Damon Dash made public accusations against Webber on the “Earn Your Leisure” podcast, which Webber claims cost him a $4 million film deal.

That led to a defamation suit and in March 2025, a $4 million default judgment after Dash failed to participate in court-mandated mediation or submit required documents.

With Dash’s one-third stake in Roc-A-Fella Records already auctioned off in December 2024—and still leaving over $823,000 unpaid—creditors have turned their attention to his film catalog.

Among the titles being targeted is State Property, the 2002 crime drama Damon Dash produced and distributed through his company.

Court documents show Webber’s legal team is seeking ownership records for Poppington LLC and its film copyrights.

If Damon Dash fails to cooperate, the court may authorize the seizure and auction of his film assets to help cover the debt.

The judge’s order requires Dash to file a letter by April 28 explaining why he should not be sanctioned for ignoring the court’s prior instructions.

Lil Durk Gets Another Shot At Freedom With Judge’s Ruling

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Lil Durk scored a courtroom win Wednesday in Los Angeles as a federal judge agreed to revisit his detention status in a high-profile murder-for-hire case tied to the 2022 killing of a rival rapper’s cousin.

Judge Patricia Donahue approved a request for a hearing to reconsider the conditions of the Hip-Hop artist’s release, setting the date for May 8, 2025, at the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Durk has been behind bars since his October 2024 arrest on federal charges alleging he financed a deadly ambush targeting Saviay’a “Lul Pabb” Robinson, the cousin of rapper Quando Rondo.

Prosecutors claim the hit was retaliation for the 2020 murder of King Von, a close associate of Durk.

His attorneys argue the government leaned on misleading evidence to justify his detention, including lyrics from a song recorded months before the shooting and fan-made videos that were never produced or approved by Durk or his label.

The track in question, “Wonderful Wayne & Jackie Boy” by Babyface Ray featuring Lil Durk, was recorded approximately seven months before the August 2022 shooting, according to an affidavit from the song’s producer.

Prosecutors say the lyrics reference the killing and include audio from Quando Rondo’s reaction. But Durk’s legal team insists the video was created by unaffiliated social media users and posted by accounts like @otf_edit and @mymixtapez.

Durk’s legal team is now offering a revised bond package in hopes of securing his release: $900,000 in real estate equity, $1 million in cash from Alamo Records, $150,000 from a business associate, 24/7 private security, electronic monitoring and strict supervision.

They argue the new proposal eliminates any risk to the public or flight concerns.

Durk was previously denied bail in December 2024 after a judge ruled that “there is no condition or combination of conditions that will reasonably assure the safety of the community,” citing his alleged influence over others involved in violent activity.

Prosecutors also claimed Durk posed a flight risk, pointing to international travel plans he made following the arrests of his co-defendants.

The rapper remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles and faces multiple federal charges, including conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death and using a machine gun during a violent crime. If convicted, he could face life in prison or the death penalty.

Lil Durk has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Boosie Badazz Says He Competing With Nick Cannon & Elon Musk After Having Ninth Child; Wants Three More

By: London JennnCategory: News

Boosie Badazz didn’t wait long to announce his next move—just days after welcoming his ninth child, the rapper told his mother he’s already planning three more.

“You see how beautiful that damn baby is,” he told her. “I’m going right back in, momma.”

Earlier this week, the Baton Rouge rapper welcomed a daughter named Sevyn with his fiancée Rajel Nelson, marking his first child with her and his ninth overall. But if Boosie has his way, that number is far from final.

“I’mma give you three more grandchildren,” he told his mother, who quickly pushed back with, “Oh no, you not.” 

Boosie doubled down without hesitation: “Oh yes, I am,” he said. “I’m slinging this dick.”

The 41-year-old artist seemed energized by fatherhood, proudly reflecting on his growing family. “Nine healthy children, bro,” he said. “Some people don’t even have one healthy child.”

Boosie then name-dropped two of the most prolific celebrity dads in pop culture. “Elon Musk, Nick Cannon, I’m on y’all ass. I’m going right back in that oven.”

And in a moment that was either a joke or a serious overshare, he added, “I’m taking the stitches out myself.”

Sevyn joins a long list of siblings: Ivy Ray, Lyric Beyonce, Toriana, Iviona, Michael Jordan, Tarlaysia, Torrance, and Laira. The nine children come from seven different mothers, with Sevyn being his first with Nelson.

Boosie Badazz didn’t shy away from his plans for baby number 10 either. 

“I ain’t tripping I’ma to put another one in her right after that,” he said previously. “Other people wait six weeks; I don’t wait six days. I ain’t waiting six days. I’m gone get that boy.”

Chris Brown Blasted By SuperFan In Lawsuit Over Alleged Online Smear Campaign

By: London JennnCategory: News

Chris Brown is facing a lawsuit in Los Angeles after a woman accused him of publicly humiliating her by reposting a manipulated video of her with ominous music and a mugshot from a wrongful arrest.

Angela Reliford, who uses the Instagram handle chrisbrownzwife777, filed the complaint alleging invasion of privacy and false light, per In Touch.

According to the lawsuit, Chris Brown shared a heavily edited video of her last July that included what she described as “ominous, ‘devil’ music” and “false captions suggesting that [Reliford] had intended harm to Chris and his dancers.”

The video, which Reliford claims was altered from its original form, features her speaking about an incident involving one of Brown’s backup dancers.

She says in the footage, “Man, wait til I get my money right. If I gotta join a gang, if I gotta do some mob s### I don’t care.”

She also makes disturbing comments about committing violence, including, “Where can I legally kill? Because I’m coming for you. As soon as I can. Might be twenty years from now.”

“I’m not tryna be mean at all,” Chris Brown captioned his since-deleted post. “But this s### is scary!”

Reliford says Brown reposted the video last July to his massive social media audience “without verifying its authenticity,” which she claims led to “substantial reputation harm, public ridicule, and emotional distress.”

She also says she received threats and harassment after the video went live.

The lawsuit accuses Brown of acting with “reckless disregard for the truth” by amplifying the video to his millions of followers and portraying her as “dangerous and unstable.”

Reliford Claimed She Tried To Serve Chris Brown With Lawsuit For Months

Reliford has been vocal about her grievances with Brown since January when she accused him on Instagram of launching a smear campaign. She later claimed she had been trying to serve him with legal papers since January 21.

However, she seemingly changed course in April, alleging Brown had been leaving “breadcrumbs” online, which she interpreted as subtle messages directed at her.

“I saw the signs. The synchronicities. The winks,” Reliford wrote. The girls in your videos dressed like me, standing in the same spots I stood, wearing what I wore. The timing was too specific to be coincidence. It felt like you were showing love in your own way.”

She added, “I’m not chasing you. I’m just trying to understand what happened. Because whatever this was… it changed everything.”

As of now, Brown has not publicly responded to the lawsuit.

Diddy’s All Grey & Losing Weight Like Crazy In Jail, According To Reports

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

Diddy is transforming. This alleged transformation behind bars has everybody talking. Those who care are whispering. I won’t say everything they are saying because it skews very negatively. But Diddy reemerged in court last week, and we can blame this rumor on a courtroom sketch artist.

Diddy requested a delay in his upcoming sex trafficking trial, but he was denied. The image of him suggests he’s not able to take care of himself anymore. First of all, he does not have hair dye so his whole head is grey, Secondly, they may not have barbers there or he does not want to get his hair cut. One report used the word “unkempt” to describe the Bad Boy. The Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn is aging him crazy.

Lastly, there is the purported weight loss. Again, this is all based on a court sketch. We know those things are suspect, but they do give us insight. That’s why they are there. We should note that his team hasn’t made any public statement regarding his health or condition. I suppose we can assume he is ok. But, inquiring minds do want to know.

One thing we know is that he has some fight in him. He successfully got access to early drafts of ex-girlfriend Cassie’s yet-to-be-released memoir. I am shocked this is still on the way. I would imagine it will drop after he is convicted. If Diddy comes home, watch out! By the way, Cassie and her team tried to block this move, but the judge saw it differently. Now Diddy has all her “all draft memoirs, autobiographies, narratives, diaries, journals or notes.” That is a lot, but they do not have to give him private diaries, emails, and bank records.

Diddy’s team says they offered Diddy the option to buy her book for $30 million to keep it under wraps. What do you think about this? Let me know!
