50 Cent Springs Into Action Following Federal Raid Of Diddy’s Homes: “Diddy Done”

Anyone remotely paying attention to 50 Cent’s Instagram page knew it was coming.

Not long after it was reported Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles, New York and Miami were being raided by Homeland Security, 50 Cent hopped on Instagram to chime in on the outrageous news. On Monday (March 25), the rapper-turned-television executive shared a TMZ article with the headline, “Diddy’s Los Angeles, Miami & New York Homes Raided by Federal Law Enforcement.”

He wrote in the caption, “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done. They don’t come like that unless they got a case.”

Homeland Security reportedly raided Diddy’s Los Angeles, New York and Miami homes in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation. Multiple people, including Diddy’s sons Justin and King Combs, were detained at the scene.

A representative for Homeland Security Investigations told TMZ, “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available.”

Diddy’s mounting legal woes kicked off last November, when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him in a Manhattan federal court, alleging sexual assault, physical abuse and forced sex with male prostitutes, among many other things. In the suit, her lawyers alleged Diddy offered her “eight figures”—or somewhere between $10 million and $99.9 million—to keep her from filing her lawsuit.

The couple settled out of court less than 24 hours later, but two more women came forward with similar claims just a few days later—and evidently that was only the beginning. Meanwhile, 50 Cent hasn’t let his foot off Diddy’s neck since the allegations initially surfaced.

Diddy’s Sons In Handcuffs As Feds Raid Mogul’s Los Angeles, New York & Miami Homes

Diddy‘s legal problems have exploded. According to FOX 11, Homeland Security raided the Bad Boy Records mogul’s Los Angeles, New York and Miami homes on Monday (March 25) in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation. Multiple people, including Diddy’s sons Justin and King Combs, were reportedly detained at the scene.

A representative for Homeland Security Investigations told TMZ, “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available.”

Diddy’s legal woes kicked off last November, when ex Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him in a Manhattan federal court, alleging sexual assault, physical abuse and forced sex with male prostitutes, among many other things. In the suit, her lawyers alleged Diddy offered her “eight figures”—or somewhere between $10 million and $99.9 million—to keep her from filing her lawsuit. Diddy’s lawyer then claimed Ventura previously demanded $30 million while threatening to write a book about their relationship.

The former couple settled out of court just one day after she filed. Multiple reports suggested they came to an amicable agreement less than 24 hours after the news rocked social media. Her attorneys released a statement at the time, explaining, “This evening, Ms. Ventura and Mr. Combs resolved the claims that she filed against him yesterday in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to their mutual satisfaction. The parties will have no further statements beyond what is provided in this email.”

Just a week later, two more women came forward and accused Diddy of sexual abuse in a separate lawsuit. Both of those lawsuits were filed on the eve of the expiration of the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law permitting victims of sexual abuse a one-year window to file civil action regardless of the statute of limitations.

The filings detail acts of sexual assault, beatings and forced drugging allegedly committed in the early 1990s by Combs, then a talent director, party promoter and rising figure in the music industry. Just last month, a male producer also sued Diddy for allegedly groping him. He also claimed he was forced to work in a bathroom while Diddy showered and walked around naked.

A lawyer for Diddy, Shawn Holiday, called the events described in the lawsuit “pure fiction.” Holiday continued, “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.”

Wyclef Jean Works To Evacuate People From Haiti As Country Struggles With Gang Violence

Wyclef Jean connected with a nonprofit to rescue people plagued by widespread gang violence in Haiti. The Fugees member discussed the crisis in Haiti and how he’s trying to help during an appearance on Newsmax.

“I want to start by saying over 1,000 Americans remain on the ground,” Wyclef said. “I’ve been working with Jack Brewer Foundation on evacuating Americans, Haitian Americans, different people. So far, five missions, 31 evacuees, are completed. So, [we are] continuing that.”

He continued, “As we enter the situation, over 4 million people will face starvation in the next coming weeks. So again, I think it’s a two-tier problem right now that we have to solve. One is getting people out and the other is to prepare for the necessary aid that we’re gonna need. So, we need to establish – immediately – stability in this country.”

Gang violence spiraled out of control in Haiti as gangs attacked government structures, including the country’s largest prison in Port-au-Prince. According to United Nations estimates, gangs control 80 percent of Haiti’s capital.

Earlier this month, Haiti Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced he would resign due to international pressure and threats from gang alliance leader Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier. Wyclef viewed Henry’s resignation as a potential step in the right direction but stressed the need for security in his home country. He called for U.S. leaders to provide more aid to the citizens of Haiti.

“I think that there is much more that can be done currently,” he said. “I feel again to move Haiti forward, it has to be a bipartisan issue. I would love to see more Republicans involved in Haiti, like that’s in the House. We need to get it to the center. That’s sort of like the mission. I feel a lot of laziness is going on right now towards what’s going on in Haiti.”

Wyclef told Newsmax he had no desire to run for office in Haiti, but he remained committed to fighting for “great governance” in the embattled country.

SIGNS: Military Hoarding Aviation Tech Could Turn New York To London Trip Into 2.5 Hour Flight?

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Shocking reports have emerged suggesting that the military has been concealing groundbreaking technology from the public eye, leaving us in the dark about a supersonic marvel capable of revolutionizing air travel as we know it.

Dubbed the XB-70 Valkyrie, this mysterious aircraft boasted mind-boggling speeds, cruising through the skies at a blistering pace that left even the legendary Concorde in its wake. Sources reveal that the XB-70 could have whisked passengers from London to New York in a jaw-dropping two and a half hours – a journey that took the Concorde a whole hour longer!

But hold onto your hats, folks, because here’s where things take a sinister turn. The XB-70 wasn’t crafted for civilian pleasure trips. No, it was the military’s best-kept secret, designed as a triple-sonic bomber with capabilities beyond our wildest imaginations. Imagine soaring through the heavens at altitudes reaching a staggering 60,000 feet, clocking in at a mind-numbing 2,000 miles per hour – talk about breaking the sound barrier and then some!

However, it seems Uncle Sam had other plans. Following a mishap involving a U2 bomber over Soviet airspace, the government decided to shelve manned bombers in favor of ballistic missiles, shrouding the XB-70’s true potential in secrecy. But that’s not all – insiders whisper that this technological marvel was repurposed for covert high-speed research and development, paving the way for future aerospace innovations while the public remained none the wiser.

What’s truly hair-raising is the revelation that the XB-70 could have been transformed into a luxury liner of the skies, capable of ferrying over a hundred passengers across continents at breakneck speeds. Reports suggest that the aircraft was outfitted with faux windows, cleverly disguised between tests to resemble a commercial airliner. Could it be that the military was toying with the idea of unleashing this supersonic wonder on an unsuspecting public?

But alas, tragedy struck before the world could bear witness to the XB-70’s full potential. In a chilling incident during a photo op for General Electric, an XB-70 collided with another aircraft, claiming the lives of both pilots in a devastating blow. And just like that, the dream of super-fast commercial travel came crashing down.

Yet, the military’s veil of secrecy couldn’t conceal the XB-70’s legacy entirely. Even now, decades later, experts marvel at its remarkable design and unparalleled capabilities. Tony Landis, a renowned history buff, expressed awe at the aircraft’s timeless beauty and groundbreaking achievements, emphasizing its enduring impact on aviation technology.

But one question remains; What other marvels are hidden away in the military’s vaults, waiting to be unearthed? With secrets like the XB-70 Valkyrie lurking in the shadows, one can’t help but wonder what other technological wonders lie just beyond our reach.

Drake’s Dad Jumps To His Defense Amid Future & Kendrick Lamar Beef

Drake’s father Dennis Graham trolled Kendrick Lamar, Future and Metro Boomin on Monday (March 25). Graham suggested Future and Metro started a beef with Drake to boost sales of the duo’s new album We Don’t Trust You.

“Yo I am about to drop some new music and I am not sure if it’s going to sell, but I am going to call some of my homies and get them start a beef with Drake and get them to unfollow him and that’s going make my s### shoot up to number 1,” Graham wrote on Instagram. “I’m sure this is going to work so let me get some people on board for this and watch what kind of attention this gets!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL BE NUMBER ONE 1Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

We Don’t Trust You featured Kendrick dissing Drake on the song “Like That.” K. Dot referenced Drake’s “First Person Shooter” collaboration with J. Cole.

“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/M######### the big three, n####, it’s just big me,” Kendrick rapped.

He continued, “And your best work is a light pack/N####, Prince outlived Mike Jack/N####, bum/For all your dogs getting buried/That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.”

Fans also believed Future dissed Drake on the We Don’t Trust You title track.

“You a n#### number one fan, dog/Sneak dissing, I don’t understand, dog/Pillowtalking, acting like a fed, dog/I don’t need another fake friend, dog/Can’t be ’bout a ho ’cause we sharing, dog/In ya feelings, n####, why you playing, dog?” Future rapped.

Internet rumors claimed Drake and Future were beefing over a woman. Metro dismissed the wild speculation.

“Y’all n##### stop making stuff up for engagement and enjoy the music,” the producer wrote.

Drake addressed his latest feud at a tour stop in Florida.

“A lot of people asking me how I’m feeling,” he said. “I’ma let you know how I’m feeling. The way I’m feeling is the same way I want you to walk out of here tonight about your f###### self. I got my head up high, my back straight, I’m 10 f###### toes down in Florida or anywhere else I go. And I know that no matter what, it’s not a n#### on this earth that can ever f### with me in my life.”

Future and Metro’s We Don’t Trust You was projected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. “Like That” racked up more than 4 million views on YouTube in a matter of days.

Cam’ron & Ma$e React To “No Diddy” Replacing “Pause”

Cam’ron and Ma$e laughed about the phrase “No Diddy” replacing the word “pause” on their sports talk show It Is What It Is. Ma$e, who has a complicated history with Diddy, brought up the new slang on the March 25 episode. Killa Cam admitted he waited for his co-host to say something about “No Diddy” before using it himself.

“I was wondering how you felt about that,” Cam’ron said. “You know what ’cause I knew that last week and I was like, ‘I’m not gon’ be first.’ I seen that last week and I was like, ‘Yo, damn.’ I said, ‘This is really a Betha call.’ I said ‘cause I ain’t want you to think I was coming at you, pause, no type of way. If I said it first, I didn’t want you to think I was trying to offend you. ‘Yo, Killa, you being funny?’ I ain’t trying to be funny but that’s what’s going on out there. How you feel about it?”

Ma$e struggled to contain his laughter as he responded, “How do I feel about it? No Diddy? For real?”

Cam’ron joked about Ma$e’s ties to Diddy during the discussion. Ma$e worked with Diddy as a former Bad Boy Records artist.

“It’s a conflict of interest,” Cam’ron said. “That’s why I didn’t say nothing last week ‘cause I was like, ‘This is kinda a conflict of interest.”

Ma$e questioned if “No Diddy” was as catchy as “pause.” Cam’ron endorsed it.

“Well, you know, it got the same syllables as what we usually say before we started saying pause,” the Dipset member said. “So, the syllable go. I mean, look, it’s—it’s smooth, pause. I was like, ‘ND.’ I ain’t wanna go that far and just go, ‘ND.’”

The “No Diddy” expression emerged after multiple women and producer Lil Rod sued Diddy for sexual assault. The phrase gained traction once Philly rapper Quilly used it in an interview.

“Why y’all laughing? This is serious stuff,” Lil Jon told the live audience for King Charles. The King of Crunk stopped by the Gayle King and Charles Barkley-hosted CNN program to promote his new Total Meditation album.

Lil Jon built a reputation for producing high-energy tracks like “Bia’ Bia’,” “Get Low,” and “Turn Down for What.” Gayle King asked the Atlanta-raised entertainer why he released an 11-track project designed to encourage tranquillity and reflection.

“I was turning 50 years old. A lot of things going on in my life, a lot of life changes, health issues,” Jon stated. The Grammy Award winner also added, “Health is wealth, health is everything. You want to be here for a long time.”

Lil Jon went on to explain he started doing meditation to help deal with personal issues. According to the Crunk Juice album creator, the introspective practice gave him peace and changed his way of thinking.

“I can’t scream all the time! I have to talk regular sometimes. So of course I can do it. I’m a regular person like everybody else,” Jon answered when asked about his iconic “Yeah” and Okay” catchphrases.

Lil Jon released Total Meditation with Kabir Sehgal on February 16. The project arrived five days after Jon joined his “Yeah!” collaborator USHER for the R&B legend’s record-breaking Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show.

Moesha ran for six seasons from 1996 to 2001. The UPN sitcom starred Brandy Norwood, Countess Vaughn, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lamont Bentley and Shar Jackson. Rapper/actor Fredro Starr also played Quinton “Q” Brooks on the show.

The Art Of Dialogue caught up with Fredro Starr for an interview. The conversation included the Onyx member discussing the rumored animosity between then-teenagers Brandy Norwood and Countess Vaughn.

“There was definitely friction,” Starr confirmed. The 52-year-old New York City native then said, “There were times on the set where they had an argument once or twice. They got over it. People argue.”

Starr continued, “But I’m gonna keep it real, Countess Vaughn was funny. She was hilarious, and they needed her on the show, so she had a right to beef. She had a right to speak her mind.”

Cast of Moesha

Countess Vaughn later took on a lead role in the Moesha spinoff The Parkers along with stand-up comedian Mo’Nique. The Parkers premiered on UPN in August 1999 and ran for 110 episodes through May 2004.

“Whatever happened, I’m sure that [Countess Vaughn] was frustrated enough to where it exploded,” Fredro Starr stated. The Firestarr album creator also speculated that Brandy and Vaughn could have faked the behind-the-scenes conflict to “milk the system” for a second series.

Previously, Fredro Starr caused an uproar when he publicly stated Brandy performed oral sex on him. Starr also had an infamous, on-air encounter with Charlamagne Tha God when the radio host mentioned the alleged sexual encounter with the R&B singer during an interview on The Breakfast Club.

Last year, Latto admitted to getting arrested in 2021 at Los Angeles International Airport for firearm possession. The incident became headline news.

On Sunday (March 24), Latto reflected on the negative reactions to her 2021 arrest. The 777 album creator posted a tweet expressing her thoughts about online critics and the media.

“Y’all got [a lot] to say but lemme see u get pulled off the plane [on the way] to P#### Cana, wrongfully arrested in front of the whole airport (literally profiled),” Latto posted.

She continued, “[People] think [you’re] in jail for actually stealing so [everybody] talking s### calling u broke, blogs spreading fake news, $10k+ lawyer fees & sit in there 3 days with no refund on ur vacation or lawyer fees????”

“Went to LAX [with] a loaded glock 17 in my Birk got locked & let out in a few hours lmaooo booked a $75k jet to my show in Alabama & still made it on time! No cap in my rap TUH,” Latto tweeted in March 2023.

Five days later, Latto denied reports claiming she entered a year-long diversion program to get the gun charges dismissed. She wrote on X, “[I don’t know] who put out that false-ass information, ’cause I’m not in no damn program.”

Latto also addressed the LAX legal situation on the “Boom, Pt. 2.” collaboration with Mello Buckzz. The Clayton County, Georgia native rapped, “I got locked up in the airport, g######, forgot the gun.”

Sexyy Red Reacts To Adin Ross Rapping N-Word On Stage With Chief Keef

Sexyy Red appeared on Adin Ross’ Kick livestream over the weekend. At one point, a viewer asked the St. Louis native about Ross saying “n####” in the past.

Previously, Chicago rapper Chief Keef brought Ross on stage during the streamer’s October 2023 birthday event. Keef performed his hit single “I Don’t Like” and Ross joined in to rap the n-word-filled chorus.

“If I’m cool with my friend, and we got that kinda bond, and we’re singing the song, I might let you say it,” Sexyy Red stated. Adin Ross then played the video of the Chief Keef set.

Instantly, Sexyy Red responded, “You look too excited to say it though. You look like you’re too excited, already.” After seeing the clip, she also added, “He couldn’t wait to say it though.”

Sexyy Red has dealt with backlash for making polarizing statements. Last October, the “Pound Town” rapper publicly expressed her support for controversial Donald Trump.

Media personalities such as Angela Rye and Jemele Hill chastised Sexyy Red for backing the right-wing politician. However, fellow recording artist DDG recently declared Sexyy Red a Top 5 female rapper of all time.

Sexyy Red broke onto the national level in 2023 when “Pound Town” dropped. She followed the Tay Keith-produced track with “SkeeYee” and “Get It Sexyy.” Her Hood Hottest Princess mixtape came out in June 2023.

Future and Metro Boomin will likely add another No. 1 album to their respective catalogs. According to projections, the duo’s We Don’t Trust You is heading toward a chart-topping debut.

HitsDailyDouble reports We Don’t Trust You could cross 200,000 total album-equivalent units in its first seven days. The outlet predicts Future and Metro Boomin’s collaborative project to move between 190,000 and 220,000 int its opening week.

We Don’t Trust You broke the internet upon its release on March 22. In particular, the “Like That” track with Kendrick Lamar ignited an online firestorm because of perceived diss lines directed at Drake and J. Cole.

If We Don’t Trust You does open at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, Future will score his ninth No. 1 of his career. For example, 2022’s I Never Liked You landed at No. 1 with more than 222,000 first-week units.

Metro Boomin currently has three Billboard 200 chart-toppers in his discography. He most recently reached the pinnacle of the weekly rankings with the Grammy-nominated Heroes & Villains in 2022.

In addition, the Kendrick Lamar-assisted “Like That” is presently projected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Two other We Don’t Trust You songs could open in the Top 10.

50 Cent took a walk down memory lane over the weekend, reflecting on his past relationship with actress Vivica A. Fox. 

On Sunday (March 24), Fiddy took to Instagram with a throwback video. The clip featured the G-Unit founder shooting his shot at Fox while accepting a BET Award in 2023.  

“I want to thank Vivica Fox for wearing that dress too,” 50 Cent said from the podium before the camera pans to a surprised Fox. 

However, according to 50 Cent, the clip reminds him not to blurt out his intrusive thoughts.  

“I look back at some of the s### that I did,” he penned in the caption. “I gotta learn to shut the f### up. Look at that look at end that’s trouble.”

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

50 Cent and Vivica A. Fox dated briefly in the early 2000s before calling it quits. The Soul Food actress claimed although he was the “love of my life,” the publicity surrounding their relationship “killed” it. 

“I’m never bothered by when she says that,” he said in response to FOx’s declaration. “At the time that we actually connected with each other, we were unconscious of everything else.”  

Meanwhile, Fiddy said it was her publicist who meddled in their relationship.  

“It got so uncomfortable with everybody else – when you get pushed and pulled in different directions without it even being her decision,” 50 explained. “Her publicist would say, ‘Do this’. This person (said) ‘Do this’. And then you go, ‘All right, this is not the right thing’.” 

However, during an interview last year, Fox said she was open to a reunion.  

“Well, [Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez] did it again. Why not?” she said during an appearance on Sherri. 

Metro Boomin Addresses Rumor Drake & Future Beefing Over Woman 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Drake fans believe he’s beefing with Future and that it’s all to do with a woman, but Metro Boomin is calling cap. 

Future and Metro Boomin shook up the culture after dropping their highly anticipated collab We Don’t Trust You. While Drizzy and Pluto have been frequent collaborators over the years, many believe Future allowing Kendrick Lamar to shoot at Drake on the album indicates bad blood.  

Fans speculate that Future wouldn’t have allowed the shade if he and Drake were cool. Furthermore, many listeners have speculated that the album’s title track seeks Future diss Drake.  

“Fake written all over you/Hate written all over you,” Future raps on the track which also serves as the project’s intro.  

“You a n***a number one fan, dog/Sneak dissin’, I don’t understand, dog/Pillowtalkin’, actin’ like a fed, dog/I don’t need another fake friend, dog/Can’t be ’bout a ho, ’cause we sharin’, dog/In you feelings, n***a, why you playin’, dog?” 

Many believe Future’s continued use of “dog,” points to Future firing at Drake who recently released For All The Dogs. Additionally, theories have surfaced suggesting the pillow talk reference proves the duo is beefing over a woman.  

One social media shared the profile of a woman named Diana, said to be at the center of the beef. They also noted that one of the “We Don’t Trust You,” cuts is titled “Princess Diana.”

However, according to a post from Metro Boomin Sunday (March 24), the rumors are untrue.  

“Yall n##### stop making stuff up for engagement and enjoy the music,” he wrote.

Drake Responds To Future, Kendrick Lamar & More

Meanwhile, Drake fanned the flames at his recent shows, performing in front of a backdrop featuring the late Princess Diana. He also had his crew walk out to Future’s 2014 song “My Savages.” 

On Sunday night, Drake issued a PSA to his rivals, although he didn’t mention Future or Kendrick Lamar directly.  

“I got my head up high, my back straight, I’m ten f###### toes down in Florida or anywhere else I go,” He told the crowd at his Floria tour stop. “And I know that no matter what, it’s not a n#### on this earth that can ever f### with me in my life.”

Latto showed love to her fans with a generous contribution to their budgets after bragging about the benefits of being rich. 

The “Lottery” hitmaker took to social media on Sunday (March 24), to share what she loves most about being a wealthy celeb. 

“My fav thing about being rich is going out to eat damn near every day & ordering wtvr tf I got a taste for,” she penned on X (formerly Twitter). 

However, her post didn’t sit well with some of her fans, who aren’t nearly as well off as the famous rapper. “Not rn Latto. Pls. It’s rent szn,” one person replied.  

The RCA Records artist saw the response and decided to help, offering to cover her fan’s rent this month.  

“Sorry,” she replied before asking, “how much is ur rent & what’s ur cash app.” 

The fan confirmed her details, and within ten minutes, the “777” rapper had made good on her word. Furthermore, while the fan said her rent was $1500, Latto sent an extra $500. 

“LATTOOOOOOOOO! Latto don’t do budgetsss I LOVE YOU,” the woman replied, sharing a screenshot of the payment. 

Meanwhile, another fan asked for $75 so that they could also experience ordering whatever they fancy for lunch. Once again, Latto gave more than she was asked for, sending them $500.  

“Lunch on me,” she wrote with the CashApp alongside a smiley face.  

Meanwhile, Latto recently made history as the first female artist to headline HOT 107.9’s Birthday Bash.  

“I’m bringing out hellaaaaaaa special guests,” the Clayton County, Georgia, native teased.

Drake fans have been waiting with bated breath for him to respond to Kendrick Lamar after the TDE rapper dissed him on Future and Metro Boomin’s new album. 

Since the incendiary “Like That” dropped last Friday (March 22) social media users have been dissecting Kdot’s verse and the rest of the album. Listeners speculate Future also fired at Drizzy, continuing an apparently simmering feud. 

In addition, internet sleuths spotted that Rick Ross and Nav are not following Drake on social media, and even ASAP Rocky has been dragged into the drama. 

However, Drake has finally responded to his rivals. He issued a PSA during his It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? Tour stop in Florida Sunday night (March 24). 

“A lot of people asking me how I’m feeling,” he said, addressing the elephant in the room. “Ima let you know how I’m feeling. The way I’m feeling, is the same way I want you to walk out of here tonight about your f###### self.” 

Without naming names, Drake then whipped the crowd into a frenzy with his next statement.

Drake and Future have been throwing shade like it’s sunny all year, but Drake just pulled a move that’s got everyone talking. There’s this fresh clip floating around the internet, where Drake makes his entrance at his concert, blasting Future’s track “My Savages” for all to hear. He has always been one to get into it with certain people, but this seems to be him putting a match on a river of gas.

Social media’s on fire. The comments sections are universally trash-talking about this stuff. But what does it all mean? Does it mean Drake is about to go into beastmode? It’s all speculation for now. But, it seems like Future and Metro Boomin’s latest album, We Don’t Trust You, is laying the groundwork for a very hot summer. Seems like Kendrick Lamar and Future are tag teaming the Candadian.

What Will Drake & J. Cole Do About Kendrick Lamar’s Latest Shot Fired?

But, for what? Ahhhhhh…it’s so basic and petty. The are reportedly beefing over a girl. The title track of the album seems to be Future’s response to Drake’s verses in “What Would Pluto Do” on For All The Dogs. One online post said the issue actually goes back a couple years. Drake supposedly went at Future on “More M’s” from the Her Loss album with 21 Savage. Other people have said that Travis Scott put the battery in Future’s back, which seems to make sense.

A$AP Rocky has been caught liking tweets from Metro Booming that go at Drake from a performance at Rolling Loud. Yung Miami recently crown Future the G.O.A.T., when we know that Drake believes himself to be that. Also, we now know that Rick Ross no longer follows Drake. Kendrick is basically BEGGING Drake to reply to him. Not sure J. Cole or Drake want to risk it all for some rap beef. Only time will tell.

Nav is a name we don’t hear to often on the rumor page. But he’s also stopped following Drake, stirring the pot even more. Nav is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer signed to The Weeknd’s label. He also produced for Drake a few years ago. He even has a CURRENT album that has a Drake verse, BUT he isn’t using it. That’s heavy.

Drake, catching wind that Nav was not following him on the ‘Gram, decides to get petty. He took to Instagram and quoted Nav. He said, “I ain’t picking up I’m in Turks lil baby,” which is from Nav’s 2020 hit “Turks.” The only thing is we don’t know the reason for Nav’s sudden disdain for Drake. In the past, he’s always talked highly of him.

So, what does this all mean? What does it mean for J. Cole? It seems like the lines are being drawn and they are using permanent ink. At least Meek isn’t involved.

Critics of the video have taken to social media to express their support for Keith Murray, highlighting Lopez’s lack of respect and decency in the interaction.

Russell Simmons Surprised By Process Server In Bali: “Ah F##k, S##t”

Drew Dixon’s legal war with Russell Simmons has become an international conflict, after the mogul was tracked down to his Bali resort and served with a lawsuit. Dixon, once a prominent executive in the Hip-Hop industry, filed a lawsuit against Simmons, accusing the him of defamation.

The lawsuit was triggered by Simmons’ remarks in a December 2023 interview in which he called Dixon a “liar” and suggested the harassment and sexual assault claims against him could be motivated by individuals seeking fame. Dixon’s lawsuit aims to hold Simmons responsible for these comments, which she claims have severely damaged her reputation and professional life.

On March 5, Simmons was served at the posh Gdas Bali Health And Wellness Resort, which he owns. A process server named Daniel John Ayoub arrived at the resort around 12:30 p.m. local time. Ayoub managed to get through two security checkpoints. Once he entered, he told staff members he was interested in the resort. He sat in the restaurant area and ordered some refreshments in hopes of spotting Simmons.

After waiting for an hour and not seeing him, Ayoub asked for a tour of the resort. But just a few minutes later, Simmons came up into the restaurant area and stood right in front of where Ayoub was seated.

“I recognized him as the person named in the service papers as Russell Simmons is a well-known celebrity and widely known in Bali, Indonesia as well as in the United States and other places,” Ayoub explained.

Simmons then sat down with a group of people and began conversing. Ayoub said he waited a few moments and then made his move.

“I said ‘Excuse me, Mr. Simmons, sorry to interrupt your meeting.’ I then handed Simmons the service documents in an envelope and said, ‘This is for you,'” Ayoub said.

Simmons, who was caught off guard grabbed the envelope from Ayoub and said, ‘What’s this from?’ I replied, ‘You’ve been served from the State of New York.’ Simmons then quickly dropped the envelope on the table and said, ‘Ah f###, s###'” Ayoub revealed.

Ayoub went back to his own table and waited for the bill. At that moment, Simmons made a phone call, possibly to his attorney, asking for some advice on what to do next. By that time, Ayoub had paid his tab and was ready to leave.

As Ayoub was exiting the resort, he could hear Simmons calling his security staff, questioning how the process server managed to get in to serve him the lawsuit, which is required by law. The legal action was filed during a challenging time for Simmons, who’s been facing numerous allegations of sexual misconduct.

Dixon seeks both compensatory and punitive damages from Simmons for defamation. He also faces another legal action by a different former Def Jam executive, who also accused Simmons of rape. Despite these serious accusations, Simmons has consistently claimed his innocence, insisting that all of his sexual encounters were consensual.

The legal challenges Dixon mounting go beyond her lawsuit against Simmons. She’s filed another lawsuit against L.A. Reid, using New York’s Adult Survivors Act, in which she accuses the music executive of sexual assault and harassment.

Dixon claims that Reid’s behavior not only caused her immediate harm but also significantly obstructed her career progress and her ability to discover and promote new talent in the industry. According to documents viewed by AllHipHop, lawyers for Dixon and Reid are involved in settlement talks.

Jermaine Dupri Admits He Was Baffled By Reaction To Viral Super Bowl Socks

Jermaine Dupri unexpectedly went viral thanks to his Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show outfit. Viewers joked about his look with much of the focus on his socks. JD swore his fashion choices weren’t meant to induce conversation in an interview with AllHipHop’s Chuck Creekmur.

“I never even thought nobody would say anything about the socks,” Dupri said. “I’ve worn these socks before. And I actually believe that it’s because a lack of information is being given to these kids. Because if people knew more about me, they would know I’m a dancer and I come from an era where dancers used to wear all kinda different stuff. Not where it might not have been cool for a rapper to wear, but it might’ve been cool for the dancer to wear. It might’ve been cool. I’m a Hip-Hop kid. I grew up in Hip-Hop and fashion was a big part of my life. I’m also the same person that had the whole world wearing they clothes backwards. So when people talk about my socks, I’m like, ‘You do realize everybody told me that wearing your clothes backwards wasn’t going to work?’”

He continued, “Nobody was in agreeance with that. Like, ‘Jermaine, you crazy. What y’all doing that for?’ And the fact that [Kris Kross] was younger, I think that kinda smoothed it out a little bit. But people weren’t with that. And then it’s crazy for me to go fast forward 20 years or something. People like, ‘Man, Kris Kross was my first tape that I bought and I got kicked out of school ‘cause I was wearing my clothes backwards.’ And I’m like, ‘What?’ So, I don’t think about clothes like that. I just put on stuff. This was something that I wanted to wear. I didn’t have no idea that the world was going to say it. And when I came off the stage at [the] Super Bowl, my daughter was like, ‘They on your socks, they on your head about the socks.’ I’m like, ‘Why would they be talking to me about the socks?’ So yeah, I wasn’t even paying no attention to it.”

Dupri was surprised by the reaction but intended to capitalize on it. He wore the socks again to South By Southwest, telling AllHipHop it was important to recognize what captures people’s attention.

“If you do something in entertainment and the next time people see you, they ask you about that thing that you did, you better pay attention to it,” JD said. “Now, whether it’s good or bad, you better pay attention to it. And that’s almost the secret to my success. I just pay attention to the obvious. I don’t claim to be a genius and all this. I just pay attention to the obvious.”

Dupri discussed the socks and much more while promoting the Hulu documentary Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told, which premiered on Thursday (March 21). He served as one of the film’s executive producers.
