Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell expressed serious interest in running for Florida’s 20th Congressional District. The 2 Live Crew member envisioned clashing with Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump and other members of the Republican Party in a potential congressional bid.

“I’m living my ideal,” Uncle Luke told The Bulwark. “I have the opportunity to bring something back to the community. And I get to fight these motherf###ers: Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump and all these crazy-a## Republicans who want to divide us.”

Uncle Luke established a political committee called Don’t Stop Get It Get It in January with eyes on the Democratic primary. If the 63-year-old rapper runs for office, he will face off against incumbent Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick in August.

“I’m gonna be as nasty as I wanna be,” he said, referencing 2 Live Crew’s historic album As Nasty as They Wanna Be.

The Southern Hip-Hop pioneer said he would decide on entering the Democratic race before April 26, the filing deadline for candidates in Florida. The primary is scheduled for August 20.

Uncle Luke’s congressional bid would not be his first foray into politics. He previously ran for Miami-Dade County mayor in 2011, finishing in fourth place with 11 percent of the vote.

Stanley Campbell, Uncle Luke’s older brother, already entered the 2024 election race in Florida. The elder Campbell is running for the U.S. Senate, facing former Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel Powell in the primary. The winner will try to defeat Republican Sen. Rick Scott in November’s general election.

Uncle Luke’s political aspirations surfaced one week after his documentary Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told premiered on Hulu. He served as one of the documentary’s executive producers along with Jermaine Dupri and 21 Savage.

Kodak Black Hit With Lawsuit For Allegedly Ripping Off Transport Service

Inayah & Donovan Concierge, which provides luxury transportation services, sued Kodak Black for breach of contract and additional claims in New York on Wednesday (March 27). The company accused the controversial rapper and Sniper Gang Touring of refusing to pay six figures in unpaid bills. The New York Daily News was the first to report the lawsuit.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Kodak began using Inayah & Donovan Concierge’s services in 2018. The company said he racked up charges of “approximately $150,000 to $200,000 per month” from September 2018 to December 2023.

Kodak paid Inayah & Donovon Concierge with a credit card, which led to problems when he started disputing charges. He allegedly owed $618,070.11 for using the company’s services throughout 2023. He contested the charges in December 2023 and January 2024, resulting in the company never getting paid for dozens of confirmed orders charged to the card.

“Defendants disputed and objected to the Charges to American Express, fraudulently claiming either that the Services were not received or were cancelled in accordance with Plaintiff’s cancellation policy,” the company’s attorneys wrote. “Neither is true. To date, Plaintiff has not been paid for the Charges based upon Defendants’ false and fraudulent cancellation of the Charges with American Express.”

Inayah & Donovan Concierge sought no less than $618,070.11 plus interest, attorneys’ fees and court costs in the civil case. The company filed its lawsuit a month after Kodak was released from a Florida jail.

A judge sentenced Kodak to time served for a probation violation, allowing him to walk free in February. He secured his release following the dismissal of a drug possession charge, which landed him behind bars in December 2023.

Kodak, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, and his girlfriend welcomed a baby boy to their family soon after his jail release. The couple named their newborn Prince Kapri.

Atlanta police apprehended Key Glock for marijuana possession and an arrest warrant on Thursday (March 28). The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Markeyvius Cathey, livestreamed his arrest on Instagram.

“Cathey was arrested on March 28th during a traffic stop at the location of 1960 Piedmont Rd NE regarding an out of jurisdiction arrest warrant and possession of marijuana,” the Atlanta Police Department told AllHipHop. “The report detailing the arrest is still in the process of completion at this time.”

Key Glock managed to keep filming his arrest after he was placed in the back of a police car. An officer explained why he was taken into custody in a clip from the livestream.

“Just ‘cause of the smell of weed,” he said. “There was a little bit of weed in the car in the little bag from wings. But that’s just a ticket. Just a little like 3.5 [grams].”

The officer also informed Key Glock about the warrant.

“It says they’ll pick you up within 50 miles of Sandy Springs,” the cop said. “And we’re within 50 miles. So, they’ll probably want you, man.”

Key Glock’s latest run-in with the law occurred five years after he was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm and marijuana possession in Miami. His 2019 arrest took place while he was in Florida for the Rolling Loud festival.

Last year, Key Glock dropped his Glockoma 2 album. The project was his first release since his cousin Young Dolph’s 2021 murder.

Three suspects await trial for the murder of Young Dolph. Prosecutors claim Hernandez Govan was the mastermind behind the deadly shooting. Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith are accused of carrying out the hit.

A fourth man, Jermarcus Johnson, pleaded guilty to three counts of accessory after the fact. Prosecutors dropped a conspiracy charge against him.

Why Hasn’t Diddy Been Arrested After Dramatic Federal Raids?

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

So, why hasn’t Sean Combs been arrested yet? Well? You guys tell me. There are so many experts on social media and the internet that I would expect one of you to have an answer to this question for me.

I can honestly say there has been so much reckless misinformation, trolling and foolishness that it’s a clusterf### of madness. To top it off, mainstream media has it wrong as much as social media. Obviously, they report the facts, but they also talk to unspecified, anonymous sources that provide no true factual information, only speculation. That’s why we have the rumor section. It may not be the most savvy, journalistic part of the site, but at least we don’t pretend it’s all factual.

Lawyer Suing Diddy Accuses Mogul’s Son Christian Of Drugging, Assaulting Jane Doe—Lawsuit Coming

Anyway, back to the original question. To my understanding, this is an extremely serious matter. Clearly, by the show of force, it is. It’s been impressed upon me that he has very large properties and searching those properties has been quite the task. Secondly, they have to go through the stuff that they collected to create the evidentiary documents to proceed.

A source (there go those sources) told me the following, “There are lots of moving parts for complicated indictments. Remember when they search these large spaces in different places it all has to be tracked and the administrative process must be accurate so it’s never quick. This is the building the case part and they will build it with precision. That’s why their success rate is almost 100 percent when they prosecute.”

They have not busted a move yet. This has to be tearing the Combs family up. The stress must be unbearable. By the way, Christian Combs was seen walking the dog, seemingly pretty stress free. Also, Diddy took time out to go golfing with his kids. Maybe he’s not stressed after all.

By the way, the feds tore Diddy’s residences up. His cribs were turned upside down. I understand that they were definitely looking for something specific. And this is just how it goes, but it does seem crazy to look at these expensive layouts in the home, looking like somebody’s project building.

By the way, there’s still a ton of confusion. We now know that Diddy was not on the run. We also know that he was in Miami ultimately. I’m still trying to figure out about the Caribbean island, specifically, Antigua, and what was going on with that. The rumor is he flew his twin girls out of the continental U.S. to get them away from the drama. I’m not certain of that, but that is something that has been tossed to me.

If that’s the case, it doesn’t make him out to be the terrible father that some have said he was. We all saw the faces of Christian and Justin Combs, the oldest, in handcuffs. Neither of them has been charged, despite something percolating legally with both. The only person who’s been charged so far is this white guy, who allegedly is a mule for drugs and guns. This guy is also listed in one of the civil suits. There’s also the former CEO of Motown Records, Ethiopia Habtemariam, who’s reportedly willing to testify because she knows “things.” There’s no record of that in any real media. This is so strange yet intriguing, and I would like nothing more than for it to be over.

I’d like to remind you all that we are in an election year, advances by Black people are being erased, and we are truly looking at a rollback to the 1920s or something. We should be focused on the truly important topics and issues that will change our lives. What do you think?

Kanye West Stole His Cadence, Flow, Beat & Tempo For “CARNIVAL” According To Sheck Wes

Kanye West has inserted himself in the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Ye’s recent remarks about the two rap superstars led to Sheck Wes calling him out for allegedly stealing his musical aesthetic.

According to reports, Sheck Wes posted a response on Instagram blasting the Chicago native. The “Mo Bamba” hitmaker claimed Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s chart-topping single “CARNIVAL” ripped off the G.O.O.D. Music affiliate.

“You stole my whole cadence, flow, beat, tempo to get to #1. [You’re] delusional and [you] ain’t check in [with] the buzzins!! [You] n#### really bugged out!” Sheck Wes commented on Instagram.

Earlier this month, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “CARNIVAL” featuring Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it lived for two weeks.

Sheck Wes scored a Top 10 hit when “Mo Bamba” peaked at No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 2018. The single lives on the Mudboy album, which came out via Ye’s G.O.O.D. Music, Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Records and Interscope Records.

Kanye West caused an online uproar on Thursday (March 29) by posting a message claiming he “washed” Kendrick Lamar on their “No More Parties in LA” collaboration. The 46-year-old provocateur also insisted he “washed” Drake at their joint Free Larry Hoover concert.

Lil Baby Calls Out Akademiks Again For Pushing Painted Nails Narrative

Once again, Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks have traded insults online. This long-running feud added another chapter after Ak accused Baby of wearing nail polish in a recent music video.

“Dis n#### ain’t been the same since [those] Michael Rubin parties… I [know] his nails not painted,” Akademiks tweeted in response to a clip of a new Lil Baby visual.

Last July, Akademiks suggested Lil Baby needed to separate himself from Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin. The polarizing podcaster claimed Baby could be ruining his facade by associating with the billionaire businessman.

Lil Baby saw what Akademiks had to say and fired back at the live streamer on his Instagram Story. The It’s Only Me album creator also called out other media outlets for supposedly following Ak’s lead.

“Y’all blogs gotta stop just posting anything!!” Baby wrote. “I ain’t painting my [m############] nails!! At this point, y’all gotta see n##### like [Akademiks] got an agenda. Miss me with that weird s###!! (No lol).”

Lil Baby’s beef with DJ Akademiks goes back several years. Ak caught a few shots on the It’s Only Me tracks “From Now On” and “Top Priority.” The former Everyday Struggle co-host even threatened to choke Baby to death.

Some Bfb Da Packman fans expected Drake to appear on the Michigan rapper’s new Forget Me Not album. However, the project arrived without the OVO boss on it.

Bfb Da Packman reportedly wanted Drake on the “Olympic S### Talkin” track which features Rio Da Yung Og. According to the Flint native, Kendrick Lamar’s internet-breaking verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” caused plans to change.

“I couldn’t get it cleared,” Bfb Da Packman tweeted on Friday (March 29) in response to news of the Drake omission. “Kendrick came out with the diss and he put everything on hold.”

A Hip-Hop civil war broke out after We Don’t Trust You with “Like That” dropped on March 22. Kendrick Lamar used the song to seemingly call out Drake and J. Cole by referencing the rap stars’ “First Person Shooter” collaboration off For All the Dogs.

“F### sneak dissing, first-person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” Kendrick raps on the Metro Boomin-produced record. He also said, “’Fore all your dogs getting buried. That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.”

While Drake does not show up on Bfb Da Packman’s Forget Me Not album, the 28-year-old rhymer did secure other features. The project contains 15 tracks with contributions by Yhung T.O., DDG, Skilla Baby, 03 Greedo and other acts.

Beyoncé has delivered her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter album, and as fans hoped, it includes a much-requested remake of Dolly Parton’s iconic hit song, “Jolene.” 

However, the superstar songstress put her own spin on the updated track. Whereas the original sees Parton begging the eponymous other woman not to take her man, Beyoncé warns Jolene, “Don’t come for my man.” 

She also declares, “You don’t want no heat with me” before reflecting on her two-decades-long relationship. 

“The games you’re playing, nothing new, so you don’t want no heat with me, Jolene,” Beyoncé croons. “We been deep in love for twenty years. I raised that man; I raised his kids. I know my man, better than he knows himself.” 

Beyoncé then advises, “You don’t want this smoke,” before urging, “shoot your shot with someone else.

Last month, Dolly Parton congratulated Beyoncé for topping the Hot Country chart and praised her venture into country music.    

“I’m a big fan of Beyoncé and very excited that she’s done a country album,” she wrote on Instagram. “So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country number one single.”  

Parton also revealed she “can’t wait to hear the full album!” 

The record-breaking Grammy Award winner dropped Act II: Cowboy Carter at midnight Friday (March 29). The 27-track project includes features from Post Malone and Miley Cyrus and a cameo from daughter Rumi on “Protector.” 

Beyoncé also tapped several Black rising country music stars for the album, including Tanner Adell, Willie Jones and Shaboozey.  Stream the album below.

Suge Knight Warns Diddy’s Life In Danger: “They’re Going To Get You If They Can”

Suge Knight believes Diddy’s life is in danger amid the ongoing federal investigation into shocking allegations of sex trafficking.  

The incarcerated Death Row Records co-founder issued an ominous warning, claiming Diddy knows “secrets” that could get him killed, and urged the embattled Hip-Hop mogul to hand himself in.  

“I’ll tell you what Puffy,” Knight said in an audio snippet, said to be an outtake from his Collect Call podcast. “Your life’s in danger ‘cause you know the secrets, who’s involved in that little secret room you guys are participating in. So, you know they’re going to get you if they can.” 

He continued, “I turned myself in. Sometimes you got to face the music. That’s most of the time.” 

After offering prayers to the Combs family, particularly Diddy’s sons Christian and Justin, who were detained and handcuffed during the federal raids earlier this week, Knight declared, “It’s a bad day for Hip-Hop, for the culture.” 

He also advised Diddy to use a different nickname should he end up behind bars.  

“Do not do your time going by Brother Love,” he urged. “Brother Love is not a good code name for prison.”

It’s not the first time Suge Knight has touted conspiracy theories about Diddy.  

Earlier this month, he accused Diddy of being part of a shady “secret society” alongside Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.  

Knight also believes the feds were trying to destroy evidence connected to “powerful men” during Monday’s Homeland Security raids. 

“People the raids today wasn’t for Diddy,” Knight wrote on X. “It was to destroy the incriminating stuff on powerful men. #epstien #Diddy #clivedavis”

50 Cent claims his ex-partner Daphne Joy is accusing him of raping and physically assaulting her in retaliation to his claim for sole custody of their son Sire. 

On Thursday (March 28) the G-Unit mogul trolled his ex before revealing he is seeking full custody of his son after Joy was accused of being one of Diddy’s paid sex workers.  

“The disturbing allegations in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy the mother of my twelve-year-old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son Sire,” 50 Cent told TMZ. 

In his amended lawsuit, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claimed that Joy was among the women “paid a monthly fee to work as Mr. Combs’ sex workers.” 

Joy denied the allegations and accused Lil Rod of character assassination. “I am retaining an attorney to explore all legal remedies against both Rodney and his attorney,” she wrote on Instagram. 

She then addressed the rapper-turned-TV exec in a lengthy statement accusing 50 Cent of “raping me and physically abusing me.”  

Joy also blasted Fiddy for “wreaking real havoc, frenzy, and chaos onto people’s lives,” and claimed her safety had been compromised. She also accused him of barely seeing their son despite them moving closer to facilitate a close relationship. 

50 Cent told TMZ, “The most recent false and baseless accusations by Daphne Joy are clearly in response to my decision to seek sole custody of my son.” 

He added, “My son Sire is my main priority and keeping him in a safe environment is my only focus at this time.” 

50 Cent Claims Daphne Joy Wanted Him To Father Another Child

50 Cent responded via Instagram, sharing an image of Joy and Diddy. 

“You moved a mile away in hopes of having another baby with me but I was busy,” he wrote. “So you moved back and then you started receiving money from Brother Love. Now here we are, little sex worker.”

Feds investigating Diddy are issuing subpoenas to companies tied to Diddy in a bid to obtain more information into allegations of sex trafficking. 

Authorities want to examine Diddy’s private jet flight manifests to identify anybody who traveled with the embattled Hip-Hop mogul, per TMZ. They are also subpoenaing commercial airlines and possibly the FAA to track down individuals who took flights he paid for and where they flew to.  

Feds are seeking to trace any potential alleged victims who may have flown on these planes. In addition, they want to locate any potential witnesses with information into allegations of Diddy sex trafficking.  

Homeland Security agents recently seized multiple electronics and hard drives in the raids on Diddy’s home earlier this week. Now, the feds are issuing subpoenas to his phone providers and computer companies. 

A DHS source recently revealed that Diddy’s alleged victims are opening up to investigators. 

“We are responding to concrete, detailed, explicit allegations,” the source explained. “This is not random. We didn’t choose his name out of a hat. We had allegations that we’re following up on.” 

Furthermore, seven new individuals have reportedly stepped forward to cooperate with authorities. Three Jane Does and one John Doe have already been interviewed, with three more Jane Does scheduled for discussions.   

Diddy has strenuously denied the allegations levied against him. His attorney branded the federal raids an “unprecedented ambush” and “nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”

Jermaine Dupri has taken to social media to detail his vendetta with the latest news regarding The Recording Academy’s award consideration for Muni Long’s#### record.

On Wednesday (March 27) Dupri expressed his frustrations on Twitter (X) in a lengthy tweet in which he outlined just how compromising the situation is for him and his co-producer, Bryan-Michael Cox. In particular, Dupri appeared to take issue with a submission technicality that could derail his intended Grammy Award campaign for the track.

“So I just got a message stating that the muni long record will not be eligible for next years Grammy awards because it was submitted this year, you know how crazy that is !? The the likelihood of me, and Bryan, producing another song of this magnitude might not ever happen again,” Dupri wrote in the tweet.

Trippie Redd is attempting to kill off rumors his record label paid a producer to start an argument on Twitter (X) ahead of the release of his collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly, genre : sadboy EP.

On Wednesday (March 27), Redd addressed the producer on the social media platform after the user, whose username appears to be Kai, tweeted remarks disparaging their upcoming production credit on the album. In his initial remarks, Redd appeared to shrug off the negativity by simply severing ties with the beatmaker.

Kai wrote, “The way I just learned I have a beat placement in this this morning and I know it’s bout to be the worst song I’ve ever heard.”

Redd prompltly responded, “Thanks for letting me know. You have been removed from the album. Good luck.”

In response, Kai claimed he was unbothered by being removing from the project, alluding to being paid in advance by the “Topanga” rapper’s record label, 10K Projects, because all of this was part of the rollout plan. However, Redd appeared to call cap on Kai’s rap and requested proof of such arrangement.

“@kaixan2k u don’t even deserve this mention but show proof you got paid or log off. My last tweet about this. Project out tomorrow,” Redd wrote.

Redd proceeded to further call the producer out and accuse him of lying after Kai appeared to provide an invoice outlining the agreement for the altercation, which Redd also suggested was fabricated.

“The fact you took your time out to make this fake a## s### instead of getting the free bandz Is crazy,” Redd wrote.

Eventually, Machine Gun Kelly also found his way into the thread and took the opportunity to back Trippie Redd up in his approach to calling the producer out, tweeting “Played himself for twitter likes [Clown emoji].”

As Trippie Redd continued to engage in the back-and-forth with Kai in the thread of tweets, he even went as far as offering $10,000 if he was presented with definitive proof that his label did indeed pay for promotion, despite merely being a licensee of the project, which is being distributed through Interscope.

In addition to 10K Projects, genre : sadboy EP will also be jointly licensed through Machine Gun Kelly’s EST 19XX, LLC imprint. In addition the the lead single “Lost Boys” the EP will include a total of 10 tracks and is set to arrive on Friday (March 29).

In the clip, Stevie J brings up 50 Cent’s ex Daphne Joy, who’s been named in Lil Rodney’s sexual assault lawsuit filed recently against Diddy (real name Sean Combs). 50 Cent and Joy also share a child together, Sire.

“Curtis, what’s good man?” Stevie J says in the clip.  “You in your feelings about Daphne? Or are you sucking Lil Rod’s dick? However it go, I wanna shoot the fade. F### all that.

Lil Rod filed an amended complaint in his lawsuit against Diddy on Monday (March 25), claiming Diddy boasted about paying Joy and two other women, including his Yung Miami, a “monthly stipend” for sex.

“According to Plaintiff Jones, Defendant Sean Combs bragged about having several women on a monthly stipend,” the lawsuit states before naming the women. “Caresha Romeka Brownlee, aka ‘Yung Miami,’ Jade Ramey, aka ‘Jade’ and Daphne Joy Cervantes Narvaez, aka, ‘Daphne Joy’ who were paid a monthly fee to work as Mr. Combs’ sex workers.”

50 Cent headed to Instagram and wrote, “I didn’t know you was a sex worker. You little sex worker. LOL Yo this s### is a movie.”

But things took a more serious turn after 50 Cent reportedly decided to seek sole custody of Sire due to the accusations levied against Joy. According to US Magazine, the G-Unit boss plans to take action because of the sex worker allegation.

“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit,” Diddy’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, said. “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines. We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them,”

Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles homes were raided by federal agents on Monday (March 25) in connection to a sex trafficking case, although he wasn’t arrested.

The quaint streets of Rockford, Illinois were marred by a wave of terror, when a violent stabbing spree left four dead and seven injured. Authorities are labeling the incident a “random and senseless act of violence.”

According to local news outlets, a 22-year-old male is believed to be solely responsible for the incident, which occurred at multiple crime scenes in Rockford and Winnebago County. Rockford Police Chief Carla Redd solemnly expressed her disbelief to reporters following the attack, her voice trembling with emotion as she told them, “Words can’t even express my thoughts right now.”

Amidst the chaos, a woman claiming to be the suspect’s mother stepped forward, her world shattered by the unfathomable actions of her son.

“He’s a loving person and he has never hurt anybody before,” she tearfully recounted in a phone call. “We don’t know what happened. He’s not an aggressive person. This is all shocking to us.”

Among the victims are a 15-year-old girl, 63-year-old woman, 49-year-old man and 22-year-old man, who all lost their lives. The motive behind the bloodshed remains shrouded in mystery. According to authorities, around 1 p.m. local time, dispatch received calls about a home invasion. One woman was. able to escape but was stabbed in the hands and face, Sheriff Gary Caruana said.

As the community grapples with the aftermath, Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara struggles to find solace in the wake of such brutality.

“I’m just totally shaken by this act of violence and the impact that it’s having now on multiple families’ lives,” McNamara remarked.

Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies race against time to unravel the tangled web of events that led to this unspeakable tragedy.

“Right now, we don’t have a clear motive in regards to what caused this individual to commit such heinous crimes,” Chief Redd said.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker offers unwavering support, pledging to stand by Rockford in its darkest hour. “As we await more information, our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims,” Pritzker declared.

The suspect faces more than a dozen charges, including murder and home invasion, and is expected to appear in court on March 28. Watch the report above for additional details.

Yung Miami’s Team Says It Can Debunk Pink Cocaine Claim In Diddy Lawsuit

Lil Rod accused Yung Miami of transporting pink cocaine for Diddy in a sexual assault lawsuit, much to the chagrin of the City Girls rapper’s team. According to TMZ, Yung Miami’s camp supposedly had proof she wasn’t traveling to bring drugs to Diddy in April 2023.

Yung Miami’s team said she was getting fitted for her Met Gala dress in New York on the day in question. Lil Rod claimed she traveled from Florida to Virginia to bring pink cocaine, also known as tuci, to Sean “Diddy” Combs in an amended complaint filed this week.

“Brendan [Paul] and Kristina Khorram brought drugs,” Lil Rod’s lawsuit read. “[Diddy] and the Combs Rico Enterprise were rehearsing for ‘something in the water festival’ in Virginia. [Lil Rod] personally witness[ed] Mr. Combs do a few lines of coke in his dressing room. Defendant Sean Combs wanted tuci but Brendan forgot it, so Defendant Kristina Khorram called Yung Miami. Who then brought it on the private jet from Miami.”

Lil Rod, whose real name is Rodney Jones, sued Diddy for sexual assault and more in February. Yung Miami was identified as one of Diddy’s alleged sex workers in Lil Rod’s amended complaint.

“Defendant Sean Combs bragged about having several women on a monthly stipend,” the lawsuit contended. “According to Plaintiff Jones, the women who received these payments are Caresha Romeka Brownlee, aka ‘Yung Miami,’ Jade Ramey, aka ‘Jade,’ and Daphne Joy Cervantes Narvaez, aka, ‘Daphne Joy’ who were paid a monthly fee to work as Mr. Combs’ sex workers. Based on information and belief, they received payment via wire transfer from Robin Greenhill. It is unclear if they were provided the appropriate United States federal tax documents for these payments or if they independently declared these payments on their taxes.”

Lil Rod also accused Yung Miami’s cousin of sexually assaulting him. The cousin, identified as Jane Doe in court documents, was listed as a co-defendant in his lawsuit.

“While using the restroom, Yung Miami’s cousin burst into the bathroom and began groping Mr. Jones,” the lawsuit explained. “Mr. Jones believes that Mr. Combs sent her in there to sexually assault Mr. Jones. According to Mr. Jones, as she entered the bathroom, she dropped to her knees and began performing oral sex on Mr. Jones’ exposed penis. Mr. Jones pushed her away and exited the bathroom. According to Mr. Jones, Yung Miami’s cousin did not accept Mr. Jones rejection, as she proceeded to follow Mr. Jones out of the bathroom. She started undressing and attempted to straddle him and have sex with him in the presence of Mr. Combs and his staff. Despite the lack of assistance from Mr. Combs and his staff, Mr. Jones pushed her off.”

Lil Rod and several women sued Diddy for sexual assault over the past five months. Diddy is under federal investigation for sex trafficking, among other allegations.

Did Eminem Predict Drake’s Beef With Future & Try To Warn Him?

Eminem fans believe they have the receipts to prove Drake was given a fair warning about his rap beef with Future, Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin.

Earlier this week, fans of Eminem began pointing to a song entitled “Zeus” as evidence that Slim Shady predicted what Drake is experiencing now. Even though the record was released in 2020 on Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By (Deluxe Edition), listeners believe the lyrics he spit specifically apply to Drake’s relationship with Pluto, considering they released WATTBA (What A Time To Be Alive) five years prior.

In the song, Em raps: “I’ve had a great view to see the game through [through]/ And Drake, they’re gonna turn on you one day too/And the more you win, the sooner they do.”

In another portion of the verse, Eminem seemingly foreshadows Kendrick’s “Like That” diss in which he seemingly equated Drake’s recent album to common waste.

“They’ll be calling you a trash binSayin’ that your new one isn’t better than your last and/Even if it is, once they start to turn their backs/They ain’t never comin’ back in,” he rapped.

As if his bars weren’t already telling enough, Eminem seemingly used a double entendre to circle back on his previous bar fans believed was loaded and directed at Future.

“They did it to Chance/Next they’ll be mentionin’ Future in the past tense (Yeah)/Or sayin’ ‘Adiós’ to Migos/I ain’t dissin’, I’m just tryna keep the s### a C-note,” he rapped.

Kanye West’s rant on social media comes a week after Kendrick stirred up a long-simmering feud with Drake. K. Dot dissed Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That,” which appeared on the duo’s We Don’t Trust You album.

“F### sneak dissing, first-person shooter, I hope they came with three switches/I crash out like, ‘F### rap,’ diss Melle Mel if I had to/Got 2TEEZ with me, I’m snatching chains and burning tattoos, it’s up/Lost too many soldiers not to play it safe/If he walk around with that stick, it ain’t André 3K/Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/Motherf### the big three, n####, it’s just big me,” Kendrick rapped.
