Shannon Sharpe has postponed his 2025 Nightcap NSFW Tour with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson as he faces a $50 million sexual assault lawsuit filed in Nevada.
The decision was announced during an episode of their podcast, where Sharpe addressed the situation directly.
“We’ve decided to postpone the Nightcap tour,” he said. “It’s going to be even bigger, even better. But Ocho and I have come to the conclusion that this is the best thing as of right now, was to postpone the tour. We look forward to seeing each and every one of you in 2026.”
The eight-city live show was initially set to kick off June 13 in Baltimore, with scheduled stops in Philadelphia, Charlotte, Detroit and Los Angeles.
But with serious allegations now surrounding Sharpe, the tour has been pushed back a full year.
The lawsuit, filed April 20 in Nevada, accuses Sharpe of rape, emotional distress and sexual battery during what the plaintiff described as a “rocky consensual relationship” that lasted two years.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe, alleges that Sharpe recorded private encounters without her knowledge and threatened her life.
She claims he raped her twice, including once in January, without using protection.
Sharpe has denied the allegations. His attorney, Lanny J. Davis, dismissed the case as “filled with lies” and called it a “cynical attempt to shake down Mr. Sharpe.”
Look, I’m no street disciple, so don’t quote me like I’m quoting the Ten Commandments of the code. But from what I understand, if you start talking about someone else’s case to help get them jammed up, that’s snitching. Those are the rules, right? And if I’m wrong, feel free to check me in the comments.
But I gotta ask: Is Suge Knight snitching on Diddy?
Let’s be clear. Suge isn’t trying to get out of jail. He’s already doing a lot of time. But is he helping build the perception that Diddy was abusive and running a criminal organization? That’s where things get complicated.
Suge recently chimed in from behind bars, backing up Capricorn Clark’s testimony. She used to be Diddy’s personal assistant and also used to work for Suge Knight. That part alone is CRAZY WILD. How did someone go from Death Row to Bad Boy? That’s like switching teams during an all-out war (it was the early 2000s). Did she carry secrets from one camp to another? Was she some kind of insider? It’s suspicious no matter how you look at it.
Clark testified in court on Tuesday (May 27), claiming she was terrified of Diddy. Suge Knight doubled down on that in an interview with TMZ, saying she feared Diddy would kill her if she crossed him. Suge might not be under oath, but that kind of statement still hits hard in the court of public opinion.
Remember, Diddy once left a “freak-off” with a gun just for Suge. That’s not just industry drama, that’s warfare. Capricorn was in the middle.
So here we are: Suge Knight, a man once considered a silent enforcer—a “mad man”—is talking more than a little. Not to save himself but maybe to bury Diddy.
Snitching or setting the record straight? You decide.
Wu-Tang Clan kicked off their farewell tour plans with a surprise performance in Ohio on Friday (May 23) and the debut of the Wu-Tang Forever Time Capsule.
The traveling vault will accompany the group across all 27 dates of their final run, Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber, launching on Thursday, June 6, in Baltimore.
The Hip-Hop legends introduced the capsule during an unannounced show at comedian Dave Chappelle’s YS Firehouse venue in Yellow Springs, where Chappelle joined the group on stage and contributed a signed vinyl from his personal collection.
“This band is a miracle of cooperation,” Dave Chappelle said. “What happens when friends can get through the tough times of their friendship and stick together? What could they accomplish? They didn’t do it for the money. They didn’t do it for the fame. But my god, they did it for love and they did it for the culture.”
The intimate performance, part of Chappelle’s “Soundcheck Series,” provided a rare preview of the tour for approximately 250 attendees.
“From the basements of Staten Island, we created something timeless. And now we invite you to be part of that inspiration,” said RZA, the group’s founder. “In every city, we will be putting something new inside this time capsule. Something from your city to connect with all the Wu cities and Wu fans around the world. This Wu-Tang Forever Time Capsule will only be seen in the Shaolin Temple VIP. We invite you to be part of this legacy.”
The Shaolin Temple VIP Experience includes premium seating, limited-edition merchandise and the opportunity for attendees to contribute a personal item to the vault.
Each city will add something new, creating a collective archive of the tour’s journey.
Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber will hit major cities, including Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Seattle and Chicago. Shows in Boston, Philadelphia and New York have already sold out. The tour will also feature Run the Jewels as special guests.
“Wu-Tang Clan has shown the world many chambers throughout our career; this tour is called The Final Chamber,” RZA said. “This is a special moment for me and all my Wu brothers to run around the globe together one more time and spread the Wu swag, music, and culture. Most importantly to touch our fans and those who have supported us throughout the years. On this tour we’re playing songs we’ve never played before to our audience and me and our production team have designed a Wu-Tang show unlike anything you’ve ever seen. And to top it off we’ve got the amazing Run the Jewels on our side.”
The tour will spotlight tracks from the group’s entire discography, including deep cuts and unreleased live performances, as well as hits from their debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and their Grammy-nominated, quadruple-platinum sophomore release Wu-Tang Forever, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Wu-Tang Clan recently wrapped the first-ever Hip-Hop residency in Las Vegas.
Duane “Keefe D” Davis had his sentencing postponed after a judge agreed to investigate claims that a juror improperly discussed jail violence during his trial for a detention center brawl.
The delay comes after Keefe D’s attorney alleged that one juror shared personal experiences about inmate fights with fellow jurors during a lunch break.
The convo potentially violated court rules that prohibit trial discussions before deliberations.
Judge Nadia Krall ruled that the conversation qualified as “newly discovered evidence” and ordered an evidentiary hearing, during which all 14 jurors and a witness will be questioned under oath.
The defense is pushing for a new trial, arguing the juror’s comments may have swayed the panel’s decision and compromised Keefe D’s right to a fair trial.
The juror’s alleged remarks only came to light after the verdict, according to his legal team, which claims the information was not available during the trial.
Judge Krall said the hearing will determine whether the juror’s statements had any influence on the outcome and whether a retrial is warranted.
Keefe D, who was convicted earlier this year for his role in the jailhouse altercation, faces two to 12 years behind bars if the sentence stands.
According to Court House News, the sentencing delay adds another legal wrinkle for Keefe D, who is also facing a high-profile murder charge in the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur.
His murder trial, tied to the Las Vegas drive-by shooting, has already been pushed to 2026 as prosecutors build their case. He has pleaded not guilty.
The evidentiary hearing on the jailhouse fight case is scheduled for July 2, 2025.
Cassie gave birth to her third child on Tuesday (May 28) in New York City, just days after testifying for four days in a federal courtroom against her ex-boyfriend Diddy in a high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering case.
The singer and model welcomed a healthy baby boy with her husband, Alex Fine, by her side. The newborn arrived slightly ahead of schedule, but both mother and child are reportedly doing well.
The timing of the birth came amid a tense legal battle involving Diddy, who is facing federal charges linked to sex trafficking and organized crime.
Cassie’s testimony became a focal point of the proceedings, with federal prosecutors accusing Diddy’s legal team of dragging out her cross-examination.
They warned the court that she could go into labor while testifying and labeled the defense’s approach as “strategic delay tactics” aimed at forcing a mistrial.
Cassie, who previously dated Diddy for over a decade, ended their relationship in 2018. She married Fine in 2019, and the couple now shares three children: daughters Frankie and Sunny, and their newest addition, a son.
According to reports, Cassie was rushed to the hospital and admitted to the labor and delivery unit on Tuesday morning.
The birth followed less than two weeks after her emotionally charged courtroom appearance.
The couple has not yet shared the name of their son.
Cassie’s testimony and her new arrival mark a significant chapter in her life, both personally and legally.
UPDATE: Janet Jackson’s team has reached out. They said that the singer is not aligned with Kanye West at all. In fact, they said that he thanked the designer of the white tank. Although this is the rumor section, we do make corrections when needed.
Janet Jackson has been pretty low-key ever since she got caught repeating misinformation about Kamala Harris. She lost a lot of people after that. I’ll admit, she lost me, too.
But recently, it seems like some folks have decided it’s OK to give her a platform again. The other night at the American Music Awards, Janet was in the building. She performed but honestly, it felt like a pretty uneventful moment. And that’s not hate—it just didn’t have any buzz or controversy attached.
Well… maybe there was a little drama. Some eagle-eyed (pun all intended) viewers noticed something odd about her outfit. Janet wore a white ensemble and on her tank top was a specific symbol that some folks online say is connected to Kanye West. That symbol? Apparently German. You already know where this conversation could go. OR HAS GONE.
What’s strange is why Janet Jackson would seemingly throw support behind Kanye West, especially when his name has been tied to antisemitic rhetoric. I’m not going to get deep into the theories, but the word floating around—speculative, alleged and probably wrong—is that Janet blames a certain group of people for Michael Jackson’s death. Is that true? I always thought it was a Black doctor who was held responsible in court.
Why rock what appears to be Kanye West gear? And if it’s not from his collection, why are so many people convinced it is? Most people saying it are Kanye fans who seem to believe she’s aligning with him on some level. That’s wild considering what Janet has stood for over the years. He represents something totally different, almost the opposite of the message she carried in her early career. Has she changed? I don’t know. I will say this: I looked. And that bird logo looks eerily close to those hateful symbols.
What I do know for sure is that she went after the first Black woman vice presidential candidate in recent history and never walked it back. She didn’t apologize, didn’t explain. That’s her right. But I believe her reasoning was totally off base. It honestly feels like she and her brother Randy might’ve (definitely based on the reports we saw) gotten pulled into that whole MAGA mindset. That’s that sh#t I don’t like!
Anyway, if someone out there can help me figure out what that symbol really means or what’s going on here, I’d truly appreciate it. Go look at that shirt and tell me what you think.
DMX memorabilia tied to his early career and unreleased recordings is at the center of a brewing legal fight as his estate pushes back against a high-profile auction they say was never approved.
GottaHaveRockandRoll, an online auction house, is offering more than 30 items connected to the late Hip-Hop icon, including handwritten lyrics, vintage performance footage, and unreleased music from 1992 to 1994. Some of the rarest pieces — cassette tapes featuring freestyles and diss tracks — are expected to sell for over $10,000 apiece, with the total auction projected to bring in between $20,000 and $40,000.
But DMX’s estate says the sale is unauthorized and potentially illegal.
“We were surprised and disappointed to learn of this auction, which is not authorized and was not cleared by the Estate of Earl ‘DMX’ Simmons,” the estate told TMZ. “The Estate holds rights in the recordings and written materials being offered for sale — including significant intellectual property rights — all of which we will fiercely protect.”
They added, “We consider this a violation of the Estate’s rights and will be pursuing appropriate action.”
The auction includes a poster from a 1994 show where DMX opened for Wu-Tang Clan, a music video for an unreleased track, and handwritten lyrics from his 1993 debut single “Born Loser.”
GottaHaveRockandRoll President Dylan Kosinski told TMZ the items originated from one of DMX’s earliest close associates in the music industry, not a relative.
DMX’s Ex-Wife Says “His Children Benefit” From Auction
DMX’s ex-wife Tashera Simmons slammed the auction, saying the seller has no known connection to the family.
“The seller is not a family member to our knowledge,” she told the outlet. “The auction is disheartening and insensitive as these precious items should go to Earl’s children. These are Earl’s memories. His children should benefit, not outsiders.”
Last month, Simmons lost her legal bid for half of his music rights after a judge ruled she had no ownership over his intellectual property.
DMX died in 2021 at age 50, leaving behind 15 children and his fiancée Desiree Lindstrom.
The estate is currently managed by his family and representatives, who are also responsible for settling his debts.
The auction is currently live on GottaHaveRockandRoll’s website and is expected to close later this week.
You guys know I don’t just let things slide. I keep digging until I get to the bottom of it. So about a week ago, there were reports floating around that people were being paid to stand outside the courthouse in support of Sean “Diddy” Combs. We know: he stands trial for trafficking and RICO-related charges, along with a laundry list of alleged violations. Blah, Blah, Blah! Then, just like that, it vanished from the headlines in a day or two.
But I kept digging. And now I’ve got it. This is an exclusive, and if you use this information, give me credit! The one and only illseed!
What happened to the folks who were outside the courtroom with those “Free Diddy” shirts? They’ve been dismissed! They were banished. I don’t know exactly how or who made that call, but it happened.
Apparently, this whole stunt was organized through Craigslist. Yes — Craigslist! Do you remember Craigslist? I didn’t even know it was still alive and kicking, but it is! So someone decided to run ads targeting a very specific slice of the population. If you’re still scrolling Craigslist in 2025, you’re in a niche demographic. I’m not knocking it, I’m just saying it’s a particular crowd.
These ads reportedly offered $20 an hour for people to wear shirts that said things like “Free Diddy” or “Free Puff.” But the people wearing them? Many didn’t seem like actual supporters. Some looked like vagrants, others may have been struggling with addiction, and a few probably didn’t even know who Diddy is! I’m not posting any photos. These are real people, going through real struggles, and clearly, they needed that money.
So how did it all fall apart? After the Craigslist ads went up, I was told, the info ended up in a WhatsApp group. Or is that Signal? Either way, you get what I am saying. From there, it spread like wildfire. One of the people in that group — a mental health patient — told their therapist. The mental healthy specialist someone else, who told another person… and eventually, it got to me.
Whew.
Now, for whatever reason, they’re not letting people stand out there in that capacity anymore. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. People are yelling at reporters, causing scenes, harassing others. Total chaos. One guy was even promoting an old book against Diddy. I give him credit: he was early!
But yeah, it’s a mess. An absolute mess. I can’t wait until this whole thing is over. But, there you go. Mystery solved.
Stefon Diggs appeared in a viral yacht party video where he pulled out a small bag of pink powder during a Miami boat outing with Cardi B, prompting questions about the substance and a response from his head coach.
Cardi B is not featured in the clip, which quickly spread across social media. Stefon Diggs is surrounded by women calling him “daddy” while dancing and interacting with guests.
At one point, Stefon Diggs opens a metal container and reveals a plastic bag filled with a pink substance. Online speculation erupted, with many users suggesting the powder resembled “Tusi,” also known as pink cocaine — a synthetic party drug often made from ketamine, MDMA and methamphetamine.
JUST IN: Mike Vrabel's statement regarding the viral Stefon Diggs video on a boat with several women & bags of pink powder.
“It’s something that we’re aware of. Obviously, we want to make great decisions on and off the field.”
When asked about the video and the substance during a media session, head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged the situation but kept his remarks measured.
“Well, it’s something that we’re aware of and obviously we want to make great decisions on and off the field. We’re making great decisions and so the message will be the same for all our players that we’re—we’re trying to make great decisions and any conversations that I’ve had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club,” Vrabel said.
Neither Diggs nor Cardi B has addressed the footage publicly.
The couple, who confirmed their relationship in May 2025, appeared together on the boat and have not commented on the nature of the substance.
The pink baggie moment has fueled speculation, but no official investigation or disciplinary action has been announced.
Victoria Monét didn’t hold back when asked about her short-lived romance with Stormzy, revealing on Keke Palmer’s podcast that she “fell deeply” for the British rapper and called him “a really special guy.”
The Grammy-winning singer shared that their first real hangout was actually the moment paparazzi caught them kissing in a parking lot last year.
“We would have wanted to announce on our own time when everything was official,” she said, reflecting on how the relationship became public before they were ready.
Despite the split, Monét made it clear that there was no bitterness between them. “We had a blast together,” she said, adding that their time together was built on “mutual respect.” She emphasized, “There’s no bad blood.”
Monét also hinted there’s more to the story but kept it vague. “We’ll have to talk,” she told Palmer, leaving the door open for future revelations.
The romance first made headlines in October 2024 when the pair were photographed kissing at London’s Heathrow Airport.
The sighting came shortly after Monét confirmed her separation from longtime partner John Gaines, with whom she shares a daughter, Hazel. The couple had quietly ended things ten months earlier but delayed the announcement to avoid speculation.
Stormzy Ready To Settle Down With New Partner
Stormzy, who had also recently ended his on-and-off relationship with TV personality Maya Jama in July 2024, added fuel to the gossip fire earlier this month when he dropped his new track “Sorry Rach!”
In the song, he reveals he’s now in a new relationship and ready to settle down.
“I told the boys I think I met my wife. Baby, if you have my baby, then you’re set for life,” he raps on the track before adding, “I think I’ve got a type; she’s like the two before.”
Monét didn’t comment on the new lyrics, but her remarks suggest she’s moved on with grace—and maybe a few stories still untold.
Has RICO Been Established in the Diddy Case? Inside the Explosive Testimony of Capricorn Clark
In a dramatic day in court, former Diddy employee Capricorn Clark took the stand and it was a lot. She offered emotional, detailed testimony—and she broke down. And it could be pivotal in what many believe is shaping up to be the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) people have been looking for. Cassie Ventura, they said, was just showing that he was a terrible, abusive person. Kid Cudi was not the slam dunk they wanted, but it certainly forecasted what was to come.
Clark’s testimony painted a picture of an alleged criminal enterprise involving manipulation, intimidation, sex trafficking, drug distribution and silence by force. Although the court has not officially confirmed RICO charges yet, they are getting there. Legal experts have said the government’s line of questioning, the allegations of abuse and the use of subordinates/workers to get procure drugs and silence victims is exactly what they need. Then it fits the criteria of a potential RICO case.
Loading RICO Patterns
Capricorn Clark testified:
She was tasked by Diddy to obtain drugs, including “Colombian dancing dust” (street slang for cocaine) and pills for Diddy and his associates.
When Diddy was allegedly blacklisted from obtaining prescriptions in Miami, she was forced to put medications under her own name, suggesting a potential pattern of criminal behavior involving identity misuse and prescription fraud.
Diddy engaged in elaborate and disturbing acts of control, including degrading rituals targeting Cassie Ventura in front of others. These acts allegedly contributed to her psychological manipulation and emotional trauma.
Drug-fueled parties and coercion were commonplace, with various members of Diddy’s circle participating or helping facilitate illegal acts.
These statements could—not quite proven—suggest Diddy operated more than a solo criminal endeavor. He allegedly ran a structured and ongoing organization with employees carrying out illegal activities on his behalf. That’s a textbook basis for RICO.
Clark reportedly broke down while recalling these events, including being blacklisted from the industry and intimidated into silence. She claimed Diddy had settled with her privately. He cut the checks. These financial hush agreements may have obstructed justice and maintained the alleged criminal enterprise.
The defense might have made it worse, according to some people I know. They focused on inconsistencies in her story, mostly minor things like the names of security from decades ago. Critics have called this a tactic of high-level gaslighting and victim-blaming. They didn’t debunk the abuse she described, from what I was told.
Why RICO Is THE “Thing”
To establish a RICO case, prosecutors must prove the following:
An enterprise existed.
The defendant was associated with the enterprise.
The defendant engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity.
The enterprise’s activities affected interstate commerce.
If prosecutors can link Diddy’s alleged actions to a broader network of employees and enablers, it would likely check every RICO box.
What’s Next?
There are plenty more witnesses coming forward. There are about to be fire investigators and digital evidence analysts set to testify! By the way, Cassie recently went into labor! The Feds are expected to present a crazy report that will link timelines with text messages and testimony.
Again no official RICO charge has been confirmed publicly…but prosecution is laying the groundwork like crazy. For the record, here is exactly what they are alleging against Diddy:
Criminal Charges:
Racketeering Conspiracy: This charge alleges that Combs engaged in a pattern of criminal activity through his various business ventures, violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
Sex Trafficking: Combs is accused of using force, fraud, and coercion to recruit, harbor, and transport women for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts, according to ICE.
Transportation for Purposes of Prostitution: This charge relates to the allegation that Combs transported women across state lines with the intent that they engage in prostitution.
Diddy faced a dramatic courtroom moment Wednesday (May 28) as his defense team called for a mistrial over testimony from a Los Angeles arson investigator who described a suspected Molotov cocktail attack on a Porsche tied to the case.
The motion came after arson specialist Lance Jimenez told jurors he believed someone intentionally set the car ablaze by cutting a hole in the roof and dropping a flaming bottle.
He testified that the bottle was an Olde English 800 malt liquor container with a silky designer scarf used as a wick. He also mentioned finding a lighter and a burned handkerchief inside the vehicle.
Jimenez said he was told the partial DNA profile recovered from the scene was consistent with a female contributor, though he admitted he didn’t understand the implications of that information.
He also confirmed that the fingerprint cards from the investigation were destroyed in 2012 at the request of someone within the LAPD, not his team.
Defense attorneys for Diddy argued that prosecutors crossed the line by suggesting Diddy may have authorized the destruction of those fingerprint records.
Lead attorney Alexandra Shapiro told the judge the only proper remedy was a mistrial.
Prosecutors pushed back, saying the defense had opened the door to the line of questioning by raising issues related to the investigation.
The judge denied the mistrial request, stating that objections had been sustained and that the jurors had already been instructed not to treat the questions as evidence.
The mistrial motion followed explosive testimony Tuesday (May 14) from Capricorn Clark, Diddy’s former assistant, who claimed the music mogul once drove to Kid Cudi’s home with a gun and declared he intended to kill the rapper.
Clark said the incident occurred in December 2011 after Diddy became enraged over Cudi’s relationship with Cassie Ventura, who had also dated Diddy.
Clark also testified that Diddy threatened her life after discovering she had previously worked for his longtime rival, Suge Knight.
“He told me that he didn’t know that I had anything to do with Suge Knight and that if anything happened, he would have to kill me,” she said.
Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting individuals for prostitution. The trial is set to continue this week in New York federal court.
DDG fired back at accusations he paid for favorable publicity amid serious abuse allegations from ex-girlfriend Halle Bailey during a livestream Tuesday night (May 27), defiantly brushing off the claims.
“I seen people getting mad at people saying that I’m a cool n####,” DDG said during the stream, reacting to a viral tweet that accused him of funding positive PR. “Do you think I give a f### who likes me?”
The rapper and YouTuber didn’t hold back, mocking critics who questioned the support he’s received from influencers and streamers. “Anybody that has tweeted at me, and I hope this p### you off more, I can literally pull up to your crib, knock on your door and buy your house, cash. Right now!” he said.
He continued, “Why would I pay people I’m cool with and met in real life for PR? N####, I’m going through legal s###. I don’t give a f### what a fan think.”
DDG addresses rumours that he paid India Love, Cooking with Kya, Lala and more streamers for positive PR from Streamer University.
The comments came after several personalities from Kai Cenat’s Streamers University—including India Love and Cookingwitkya—spoke positively about DDG.
India Love, who has been romantically linked to him, described him as a “genuine person” and a “great guy,” adding that she didn’t care what others thought.
Cookingwitkya echoed that sentiment, calling DDG “a genuine, nice person,” “very respectful,” and someone who has quietly supported her behind the scenes.
Several women from Streamers University like Snowcone, Cookingwitkya, and India Love have denied any false rumors about DDG and say he’s genuinely one of the nicest people they’ve ever met ❤️ pic.twitter.com/Zxy0gXaqHy
The backlash stems from a legal battle between DDG and Halle Bailey.
A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge granted Bailey a temporary restraining order earlier this year, requiring DDG to stay at least 100 yards away from her and their son, Halo, until a hearing scheduled for June 6, 2025.
In court documents, Bailey accused DDG of “physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive” behavior throughout their relationship.
She included photos of injuries from a January 2025 incident, alleging, “He slammed my [face] on the [steering wheel], causing my tooth to be chipped. I then stopped fighting back as I was in a lot of pain.”.”
Bailey also claimed DDG broke into her home in March 2025 while she was away, damaged her Ring camera, and tried to take Halo without her permission.
She requested that he be barred from discussing her or their child online, stating that his posts had “incited his followers against her” and made her feel unsafe.
The judge granted Bailey temporary custody of Halo and blocked DDG from applying for travel documents for the child.
She also alleged that DDG had never paid child support and had threatened to withhold it while publicly promoting a campaign to “free Halo.”
The former couple dated from 2022 until late 2024 and welcomed their son in December 2023.

Donald Trump claimed that Canada is considering a proposal to become the 51st U.S. state in exchange for free access to his “Golden Dome” missile defense system, a $175 billion initiative he says would shield North America from airborne threats.
On Tuesday (May 17), Trump took to Truth Social to pitch his offer.
“I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation,” he wrote. “But will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State. They are considering the offer!”
Trump has long voiced frustration over U.S. spending on its northern neighbor, stating, “America can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!”
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney swiftly rejected the idea, telling Donald Trump, “Canada won’t be for sale, ever.” He also clarified that while there are “high-level” talks happening about the missile defense system, statehood is not on the table.
Trump introduced the Golden Dome plan last week, describing it as a sweeping defense shield for the continent. He claimed Canada reached out to join the project.
“Canada has called us, and they want to be a part of it,” Trump said last week. “So we’ll be talking to them; they want to have protection also.”
Despite Trump’s assertion, the idea of Canada becoming a U.S. state has little traction north of the border. Canadian officials and citizens alike have fiercely opposed the suggestion.
50 Cent wasted no time turning Sean“Diddy” Combs’ federal sex-trafficking trial into meme material after his name surfaced during courtroom testimony Tuesday (May 27), unleashing a series of Instagram jabs mocking the embattled mogul.
The G-Unit founder was mentioned in federal court by former Diddy assistant Capricorn Clark, who testified that the Bad Boy mogul had a long-running grudge against him.
Clark recalled a tense exchange at an MTV press event where Diddy allegedly told his then-manager, Chris Lighty, “I don’t like all the back and forth … I like guns.”
Clark also stated that Combs had a “problem” with 50 Cent and that the animosity stretched back more than a decade.
Though not involved in the case as a witness, 50 Cent took to Instagram with a barrage of posts mocking the situation.
One image showed him wearing a fake “Free Diddy” T-shirt at the NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game Five on Tuesday (May 27). He clarified in a follow-up video with Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton that the shirt was actually Balmain.
In another post, 50 Cent shared an AI-generated image of himself looking panicked, captioned, “Oh my goodness itty bitty Diddy wants me Dead, I have to lay low, I think I’m gonna hide out at the playoff game tonight. LOL.”
He also posted, “Wait a minute PUFFY’s got a gun, I can’t believe this I don’t feel safe. LOL.”
The “itty bitty Diddy” nickname stems from a separate lawsuit filed earlier this month, in which a woman accused Combs of raping her in 2001.
In the graphic complaint, she described his anatomy as “an itty-bitty Diddy” and compared it to “the length and girth of a large Tootsie Roll.”
Fivio Foreign pleaded guilty to third-degree terroristic threats in a New Jersey courtroom after spending months in jail following an alleged gun threat during a parking dispute on New Year’s Day.
The Brooklyn rapper entered the plea as part of a deal that will likely get him out of jail and into probation when he’s sentenced in August, TMZ reports.
Prosecutors agreed to drop four other charges, including unlawful possession of a weapon and aggravated assault, in exchange for the plea.
The case stems from a January 1 incident in Edgewater, New Jersey, where Fivio allegedly pointed a gun at a woman who had asked him for help jumpstarting her car. According to police, he told her, “If I see you parked in front of this building again, there is going to be a f###### problem.”
Witnesses at the scene identified Fivio Foreign and called 911. Surveillance footage from the apartment complex reportedly backed up the woman’s version of events. Officers arrested him on January 18 (Saturday), but no firearm was recovered.
His attorney, Adam Lustberg, pushed back on the strength of the case, calling it “the flimsiest” he’s seen in more than two decades of legal work. Still, The “BIG DRIP” hitmaker has remained behind bars since his arrest.
Lustberg said he’s hopeful the court will consider time served and grant probation at the sentencing hearing scheduled for August.
Fivio Foreign has been held in custody at a New Jersey detention center since Saturday, January 18.
Tory Lanez was caught on video being stabbed multiple times inside a California prison, with newly surfaced footage from the May 12 attack showing the rapper collapsing near a stairwell as he struggled to defend himself from a brutal ambush.
The video, which began circulating online Tuesday (May 27), captures the chaos inside California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, where Lanez was assaulted by Santino Casio, a convicted murderer.
The clip shows Lanez falling to the ground as Casio repeatedly lunges at him with a weapon.
According to prison officials, Lanez suffered 14 stab wounds in total — seven to his back, four to his torso, two to the back of his head and one to the left side of his face. Both lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing machine.
Lanez’s team released a statement following the incident: “He is now breathing independently. Despite experiencing pain, he is in good spirits, able to converse normally, and deeply grateful to God for his recovery.”
Described by authorities as a “savage” and “vicious” assault, the stabbing left Lanez in critical condition.
He has since stabilized, though the motive behind the attack remains unclear. Casio has been moved to a segregated unit while the investigation continues.
Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
Tory Lanez Fighting To Overturn Conviction
Meanwhile, Lanez’s legal team is still pushing to overturn his conviction. His attorney, Walter Roberts, recently claimed there’s new evidence pointing to Kelsey Harris as the shooter in the 2020 incident.
Megan’s legal team has rejected those claims, calling them recycled arguments.
“Despite Mr. Lanez being convicted at trial by overwhelming evidence (that included his own admission of his guilt), he and his team – flanked by any ignorant person they can find – have pushed whatever misleading narrative they can,” said her attorney, Alex Spiro.
Supporters of Lanez, including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, have called for a pardon, insisting he is innocent.
Megan’s team continues to dismiss the new claims as “false narratives” and “unsworn rumors presented as fact.”
Something subtle but significant happened over Memorial Day weekend. Beyoncé lit up New Jersey with another dazzling performance. There’s nothing out of the ordinary there. She typically brings greatness to the stage every time.
But there was a surprising moment during her set that deserves a closer look. Walk with me. In one segment, Beyoncé showcased a powerful spoken word piece by none other than Ras Baraka, the current mayor of Newark. Bro also has some deep Hip-Hop roots.
Now, that might’ve flown under the radar for some, but those who know, know. Before becoming a political force, Ras Baraka was a respected poet and activist in the mold of his father, the legendary Amiri Baraka. He brought his poems to stages like Def Poetry Jam. His voice has been with us for a long time.
So why did Queen Bey feature Ras in her show? Was it a creative nod to the culture of the region? Or was it a not-so-subtle endorsement as Baraka makes a serious bid for governor of New Jersey? I think it could be a bit of both. Baraka’s voice being elevated in one of the biggest shows on Earth doesn’t feel like a coincidence. (Big Wink. Wink!)
As Baraka shifts gears from mayor of Newark to gubernatorial hopeful, his alliance with Hip-Hop remains unwavering. Over the years, he’s brought Hip-Hop into the heart of Newark—using it as a tool for education, youth engagement, and social change. He helped establish the Hip-Hop Political Convention in the early 2000s, and his administration has embraced artists, not shunned them. Ras has never turned his back on the streets or the culture; he’s made it part of the solution.
From what I’m hearing, some major Hip-Hop figures are rallying behind Brother Ras as the race heats up. There are some fundraisers on the horizon and probably some high profile campaign appearances. This isn’t a man parachuting into politics from celebrity. He’s someone who’s been grounded in community work, activism, and cultural relevance for decades. He did not just pop out to get arrested.
Let’s keep it real and this is for the naysayers especially. We’re living in a time where hard-fought protections are being stripped away, and predatory politicians are trying to roll us back to a darker time. That’s why it matters to support people who actually give a damn. People who don’t just talk, but act. People who’ve lived the struggle and fought to transform it.
I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m saying—check out Ras Baraka. Look at his record. Look at how he’s used art, Hip-Hop, and public policy to uplift people. Then decide if he’s someone worth voting for in this next chapter. I already have.
Jaheim was taken into custody Tuesday (May 1) in Fulton County, Georgia, after being charged with six counts of animal cruelty related to his treatment of multiple dogs.
Court records, just hitting the news, accused the R&B singer of failing to provide clean water, proper ventilation, and sanitary conditions for six dogs found on his property.
The animals include pit bull terriers, a French bulldog and a hound mix. He was released from Fulton County Jail the following day.
This marks the second time the “Put That Woman First” singer has faced legal trouble over animal neglect.
In 2021, New Jersey authorities discovered 15 starving dogs at his Hillsborough home. One dog was in such poor condition it had to be euthanized.
At the time, police said they found dogs confined in crates filled with feces and standing water. Most were severely underweight and lacked access to food or clean water.
Jaheim was charged with third-degree animal cruelty and failure to provide necessary care.
The Grammy-nominated artist has not publicly responded to the latest charges. His next court date has not been announced yet.
