Meek Mill Dragged On Twitter After $250K Feature Rate Compared To Future & More

Meek Mill can’t seem to catch a break following his recent Africa music streaming blunder, considering now fans are criticizing his feature rate.

On Tuesday (January 23), Meek got lit up by countless Twitter (X) users after he seemingly initiated the conversation about feature rates. Meek actually laid out his rates in a short tweet outlining his preferred workflow when it comes to arranging and taking payment for features.

”Every time I do a verse I charge 250k and up if you got 150k on sight and I like the song we can swap it outtt!!!!” Meek wrote.

Pretty much immediately after Meek dropped the tweet, people began to blow the thread up—making the Philadelphia lyricist a martyr in the process.

“Every time rappers post their feature prices like this publicly I be feeling like they just saying the one price they were able to get a label to pay for one time,” one user remarked while another suggested, “He’s saying his wish list price he’d take 50k right now and that high for him.”

Other users were simply just not convinced that Meek’s verses could cost a quarter of a million dollars.

”What you saying that cost $250K? Lol,” as another user added, “After back 2 back you should be charging 10K THE most.”

At one point, folks really started trolling Meek and bartering with his prices by offering absurd forms of payment.

”I got some wing stop coupons and jewelry that turn your neck green. What can I get?” someone offered, while another proposed, “Can i get a verse and I’ll pay installments for 250,000 years?”

Things got really dicey once rap Twitter got involved and started comparing the data with other rapper’s feature rates.

“Is this why Meek hasn’t done a feature since 2022? Meek charging the same amount as $250k – Lil Durk $250k – Future $250k – Snoop. Future feature a bargain at $250k,” they wrote in a tweet.

Rick Ross and Tia Kemp’s online drama took a turn, dragging Gucci Mane and his wife into the mess. Kemp accused Gucci’s wife Keyshia Ka’oir of sleeping with Ross while Gucci was in prison.

“Gucci Mane, he f##### Keyshia Ka’oir while you was in prison,” Kemp said. “I seen her pulling out from his studio house in that Rolls-Royce she was driving. It was a white one. This the truth though, allegedly, and it’s the truth. I ain’t gotta lie. Lie detectives pay me. It’s going to be in the book. I don’t give a f###. They can’t sue me. I ain’t lying. That girl better go prove to her husband and Rozay that I’m telling the truth. ‘Cause he told me he done f##### all these n#####’ hoes.”

Kemp also targeted Rozay’s ex Lira Galore. Kemp claimed Ross and Meek Mill took turns having sex with Galore.

“Go back to that hoe Lira Galore,” Kemp said. “She was laughing at me with his baby mama and them too when it was her too. I want her too … Meek then y’all ‘choo choo choo’ on that hoe too. Meek Mill, you and Rozay and them, I heard.”

Kemp unleashed the wild accusations after clashing with Ross and his current girlfriend Cristina Mackey on social media. Kemp threatened to slap Mackey and expose Rozay’s alleged medical conditions. Ross fired back on Instagram.

“Tia’s sister Ebony, she told me about that botched surgery,” he said. “But you going to get over it, you gonna heal. I ain’t gonna lie, we laughed about it for a little while.

He added, “Every time you get on TikTok, I know you see a new release from Tia. But listen, we all gotta imagine what she’s going through. She’s going through a lot. Her mother, who’s a 30-year recurring crack addict, she’s back addicted. Tia’s dealing with it … So that’s why you won’t see me cut her IG page off or none of that because you gotta let her express herself.”

T-Pain Reveals Why His Michael Jackson Collab Got Shelved

A leak ruined T-Pain’s opportunity to work with Michael Jackson. The singer/songwriter recalled how one person prevented the world from hearing him collaborate with Jackson in a clip from T-Pain’s Twitch streams.

“We were about to listen to a song that I wrote and produced that was meant for me, Usher and Michael Jackson,” he explained. “And then the person that was in charge of doing the references and the person that sang it got too excited and was like, ‘N####, I’m on a song with Michael Jackson and Usher and T-Pain.’ And then he released it. And then Michael Jackson was like, ‘Nah, never mind. I don’t wanna do it anymore.’”

The leaked version surfaced online more than 15 years ago. Jackson was missing from the track, which featured a portion with no vocals where the King of Pop’s contributions were meant to be.

T-Pain didn’t get to make a song with Jackson, but he received a ringing endorsement from another legend in the music industry. Earlier this month, Ozzy Osbourne praised T-Pain’s cover of Black Sabbath’s classic song “War Pigs.”

“This is the best cover of ‘War Pigs’ ever,” Osbourne wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Why didn’t you guys call me?”

T-Pain responded, “You’re always invited. Top of the list, every time!! Thank you so much. Means a lot coming from the greatness himself.”

The next day, T-Pain reflected on Osbourne’s approval. The hitmaking artist was honored Osbourne liked the cover version so much.

“First thing I said was ‘wow,’” T-Pain wrote. “This is an honor and the greatest form of validation. Thank you brother @OzzyOsbourne.”

T-Pain covered “War Pigs” and more on his latest project On Top of the Covers, which dropped in 2023. He released a live performance of the songs a week before Christmas.

EXCLUSIVE: Kodak Black Won’t Be Released From Jail Anytime Soon

By: Kyle Eustice Updated Category: Exclusives

Kodak Black will remain behind bars for at least another four weeks. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, the final hearing regarding the revocation of Kodak Black’s supervised release was held before Judge Jose E. Martinez on Monday (January 22). But Martinez needed more time to make a decision and therefore rescheduled the final revocation hearing to February 21, meaning the troubled rapper must stay put.

Kodak Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, filed a motion asking a Florida judge to dismiss the charges earlier this week. Cohen claimed prosecutors wrongfully charged Kodak with possession of oxycodone. Cohen said Kodak had a prescription for the powerful painkiller and urged a judge to reconsider.

The Pompano Beach native was originally charged with cocaine possession after his December 2023 arrest. The responding officer allegedly discovered a “white chunky substance” while searching Kodak Black’s vehicle. A field test allegedly indicated the powder was cocaine, but prosecutors didn’t move forward with the cocaine charge. Instead, they charged Kodak with oxycodone possession on January 8. His attorney criticized authorities via social media on January 9.

“As stated when this new case first was filed, this was not cocaine and the officer was lying about his observations,” Cohen wrote on Instagram. “We finally got the lab report…its oxycodone that Kodak had a prescription for and not an illegal substance. Knowing that the officer substantially misrepresented his observations, the Broward State Atty Office still filed the charge. Unbelievable and it will not be tolerated. This level of abuse of power by the arresting officer is disgusting. We will be seeking a new bond hearing and addressing these unethical practices by the police department.”

Kodak, whose legal name is Bill K. Kapri, was placed in federal custody for violating his probation. He remained on probation after former president Donald Trump commuted his sentence in 2021.

Lil Wayne Claims Drake Gets Hate For Being Light-Skinned

Lil Wayne’s musical family tree contains two of the biggest superstars of the 21st century. The Young Money boss helped introduce Drake and Nicki Minaj to the world.

Despite his undeniable success, Drake continues to face criticism in certain Hip-Hop circles. Lil Wayne appeared on The Richard Sherman Podcast. Sherman questioned the Undisputed sportscaster about the negativity directed at his protégé.

“Why they be hating on Drake like this? That’s what I don’t understand,” the five-time NFL Pro Bowler asked Lil Wayne on the show. The five-time Grammy Award winner responded, “He’s red, he’s light-skinned.”

Wayne also said, “That’s just American history. How I know is, because I’m not light-skinned and I hated on all the light-skinned dudes in school. So yeah, that’s American history.” Weezy and Sherman then laughed.

Drake’s skin complexion and biracial identity have played a role in the Canadian’s legacy. His longtime rival, Pusha T, made those topics a central theme in the scathing “The Story of Adidon” diss track.

“Confused, always felt you weren’t Black enough. Afraid to grow it ’cause your fro wouldn’t nap enough,” Pusha T rapped on the 2018 record. Plus, “The Story of Adidon” cover art featured an actual photo of Drake in blackface.

Drake was also in the news over the last several days after Mos Def (aka Yasiin Bey) suggested the OVO Sound founder makes pop music suited for Target stores. The For All the Dogs album creator fired back at Bey for his comments.

Stephen A. Smith Wants To Debate Donald Trump: “I’d Eat Him Alive”

Stephen A. Smith has built a multi-million-dollar brand as a sports television personality known for embracing debate. The star of ESPN’s First Take would like to try his oratory skills against the former President of the United States.

During a recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Smith discussed his political affiliation. The conversation also included the broadcaster expressing his desire to go head-to-head with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“I’m a registered Independent. I’m not enamored with either candidate,” Stephen A. Smith told Howard Stern. When asked if he would ever make a run for the White House, Smith replied, “Hell no… I’m not giving up my quality of life to earn $400,000/year and be stressed every day.”

Former President Donald Trump leads the 2024 Republican primary race with 31 delegates. Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has 16 delegates. Incumbent President Joe Biden is expected to win the 2024 Democratic nomination.

Even though he has no interest in being America’s Commander In Chief, Stephen A. Smith made it clear he wants to be part of a presidential debate. The native New Yorker said, “I’d eat him alive. I wouldn’t run for the presidency but I’d debate Trump any day of the week.”

Donald Trump won the Republican New Hampshire primary on Tuesday (January 23) after also claiming a victory in the Iowa caucuses on January 15. In addition, Joe Biden won New Hampshire’s unsanctioned Democratic primary with a write-in campaign. His name did not appear on the ballot.

Meek Mill has appeared as a guest on songs by N.O.R.E., DJ Khaled, The Game, Mariah Carey and many more. According to the Philadephia-raised MC, artists have to put up a six-figure sum for his vocals.

This week saw Meek Mill share some behind-the-scenes information with his 11.3 million X (formerly Twitter) followers. The “Ima Boss” hitmaker revealed his feature rate on the social media platform.

“Every time I do a verse I charge 250k and up if you got 150k on sight and I like the song we can swap it outtt!!!!” the 36-year-old rapper tweeted on Tuesday (January 23). That post collected over 230 replies and more than 3,000 likes.

Meek Mill did not make it clear if he charges longtime collaborators like Rick Ross for a feature verse. The two Maybach Music Group representatives have collaborated on numerous songs over the last 15 years.

Ross and Meek joined forces again for 2023’s Too Good to Be True joint studio LP. That project also contained contributions from Fabolous, Wale, French Montana, Future, Shaquille O’Neal, Dame D.O.L.L.A. and others.

Meek Mill has not dropped a full-length solo album since 2021’s Expensive Pain. That same year, he appeared on projects by Young Thug & YSL (Slime Language 2) as well as Lil Durk & Lil Baby (The Voice of the Heroes).

Hours before posting the tweet about his feature rate, Meek teased the release of his “Cold Hearted 3” song. The original “Cold Hearted” featuring Diddy lives on 2015’s Dreams Worth More Than Money album. “Cold Hearted II” is part of the tracklist for 2018’s Championships.

YFN Lucci (born Rayshawn Bennett) learned his fate in a RICO case in Georgia. The Atlanta-born rapper received a 20-year sentence after pleading guilty to one count of violating the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.

A judge granted YFN Lucci time served and parole eligibility in about three and a half months. The 32-year-old “Everyday We Lit” performer will also remain on probation for 10 years.

Prosecutors accused Bennett of being a member of the Bloods street gang. Additionally, the state charged him with felony murder. The prosecution eventually dropped 12 of 13 counts, including the murder charge.

YFN Lucci addressed the public on Tuesday (January 23). The Ray Ray from Summerhill album creator offered an apology to the victim’s family during the court hearing.

“First off, I wanna say my heart goes out to my friend, James Adams, and his family. Also, I wanna apologize to my family and my friends for putting them through this stressful process,” YFN Lucci said. “I would also like to apologize to the court. That’s it.”

Lucci’s defense attorneys, Drew Findling, Gabe Banks and Marissa Goldberg, issued a statement to ABC News. The lawyers insisted their client would not cooperate in any other case.

“After three years of pretrial litigation, more than two weeks of jury selection and three years of incarceration waiting for his jury trial, today, the prosecution finally relented and dismissed the murder and RICO charges against Rayshawn Bennett,” YFN Lucci’s legal team stated.

Jess Hilarious Blasts DJ Envy & Charlamagne Tha God Over Comments About SZA

Jess Hilarious did not hold back her thoughts about a specific segment on The Breakfast Club. The internet personality called out the Power 105.1 show’s DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God.

A recent episode of The Breakfast Club included DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God comparing two R&B songstresses. At one point, Envy called SZA this generation’s Mary J. Blige.

That comparison did not sit well with Jess Hilarious. The part-time guest host for The Breakfast Club wrote on her Instagram Story, “These n##### trash. Envy shut up!”

She continued, “I know artists be p##### when old heads do this [because] now everybody negatively comparing SZA and MJB and it ain’t even her fault! She has her own identity already.”

Jess Hilarious temporarily took over the third seat on The Breakfast Club after Angela Yee left the program in 2023. Rumors suggested Hilarious would become the permanent replacement but iHeartMedia has yet to announce a new co-host.

Charlamagne Tha God publicly complained about not having another person for The Breakfast Club. When asked about Jess With The Mess possibly getting the gig, Charlamagne said, “I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know. But I’m not happy. We’ll find out soon enough though.”

Jess Hilarious appeared on several editions of The Breakfast Club over the last few months. The Baltimore native helped interview celebrities like Sexxy Red and regularly presented the “Rumor Report” on-air.

Kanye West Directs Paparazzi During Private Photoshoot With Bianca Censori 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Kanye West has made headlines for posting very racy photos of his wife Bianca Censori, but he had something very different in mind when he invited paparazzi for a recent impromptu photoshoot. 

Over the past few weeks, Ye has shared multiple risqué images of Censori on Instagram. While the former Yeezy architect is fully clothed in some photos, others show her nearly nude, displaying her bare cheeks in multiple images.  

However, Kanye West had an alternate vision when he asked photographers to capture Bianca Censori. He stepped outside a Los Angeles studio to invite the waiting paparazzi to take pictures of his wife, who was waiting inside. 

Censori, donning a matching oversized furry coat and hat, stood in the center of the studio as Ye directed the impromptu session. He gave them specific instructions, and told them what he wanted in shot.  

“Babe, walk towards us,” Kanye West urged Censori before asking if she was willing to have her face photographed.  

Paps snapped away for a few moments until the G.O.O.D. Music founder ushered them back outside. “Don’t put the ones I don’t like,” he added.   

West shared a photo of his wife in the oversized get-up on Instagram. He captioned it “DRY,” and posted the pic alongside a video of Censori in a wet-look white tee captioned “WET.”

Meanwhile, Kanye West has recently come under fire for his own controversial attire. He was slammed online for wearing the shirt of a Neo-Nazi, church burning, death metal rock act amid rumors he’s set to issue an extended video apology to the Jewish community for his antisemitic remarks.  

Blueface Denies He’s In Protective Custody: “I Will Never Ever Go To PC” 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Blueface is adamantly denying rumors that he’s currently housed in protective custody amid reports he’s living it up behind bars. 

In his latest update call from jail the MILF Music founder addressed the reports but insisted, “You will never catch me,” in protective custody (PC). 

Putting it on his set, Blueface declared, “I will never, I repeat I will never ever go to PC.” 

Meanwhile, earlier this week, TMZ reported Blueface has his own cell and other benefits at the Los Angeles County Sheriff Men’s Central Jail, where he’s serving time for violating his probation. 

According to the outlet, Blueface is staying in the “administrative segregation area,” and is not housed with other inmates in general population. 

Elsewhere on the call, Blueface claimed victory after hearing his nemesis Soulja Boy walked back his recent threats.   

“I win again,” he said, adding, “I heard Soulja Boy apologizing. That s### was real, real respectful. That’s more like it.” 

He also rejected Soulja Boy’s offer to put money on his books and said he still wanted to fight. 

“I turned myself in fashionably late with $1000 in my pocket. You can keep that small change, but I still need that fade,” he added. “We gon’ do it like gentlemen and get that out the way. We ain’t getting no money, I done made enough off cuz for the rest of the year.” 

Soulja Boy must have caught wind of Blue’s remarks because he retracted his previous apology in a heated Instagram Live. In addition he upped the ante on his sexual assault threat, this time pledging $50,000 to have Blue attacked.  

Joe Budden Calls Ari Lennox “Bag Of Mixed Nuts” While Addressing Lawsuit Threat

Joe Budden has responded to Ari Lennox after the R&B singer clapped back at his criticisms of her during a fiery Instagram Live last week.  

He addressed her comments in the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. In a clip published Tuesday (January 23), Budden began by saying he wanted to “wrap my good sister Ari Lennox in warmth, love and prayer.  

“In a[n] industry that has historically not been great to women, now is not the time for any woman out there to feel like they are under attack, unheard or not seen,” he explained. “And if I’ve ever added to that, then I want to do my best to change the trajectory.” 

Budden insisted his “punching down,” days are over and vowed to “try to set a new example in 2024.” 

Joe Budden Claims Ari Lennox Attempted To “Defame” Him

However, although the clip was titled “Joe Budden Apologizes to Ari Lennox,” he went on to call her “a bag of mixed nuts,” and claimed she proved him right.  

He said he saw Lennox’s response to his criticism and her threats to sue him. According to Budden, Lennox “attempted to demean and defame” him, a Black man. He says she did this “while summoning the powers universally of Black women, while simultaneously bigging up a white man who fetishizes. All on Martin Luther King Day.” 

He then made an analogy about the nut selection onboard an airplane. 

“This chick is a bag of f#####’ mixed nuts. Mixed nuts come from everywhere,” Budden said as his co-hosts began laughing. “This b#### is all the nuts combined and I think she’s done a great job of proving the exact point that I was trying to make in the last broadcast, and we shower her with love.” 

Ari Lennox slammed Joe Budden after he criticized her for airing out her frustrations with Rod Wave’s tour. She said Budden is “psychotic” and claimed the Slaughterhouse rapper was obsessed with her.  

Tina Knowles Responds To Accusations She Shaded Janet Jackson’s Ticket Prices

Tina Knowles is hitting back against rumors she shaded Janet Jackson after liking a post complaining about the legendary singer overcharging fans for the second leg of her Together Again tour. 

The drama began earlier this week when one of Knowles’ friends criticized ticket prices for Jackson’s upcoming shows, comparing packages to Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour.  

“What a joke,” Knowles’ friend wrote alongside a screenshot of Janet Jackson’s $2,000+ VIP seating options. “They add $1000 for a 15 second meet & greet again. No front row for fans unless you want to bend over so they can continue to rake in the cash. You want Beyoncé prices, have real production. Just disgusted. I’m not the only one… oh the DMs I’m getting. Way to thank your fans for years of support.”  

Knowles began trending after social media users noticed she liked the post and theorized that Bey’s mom was being shady. 

However, in a video Tuesday, Tina Knowles denied the gossip and said she “would never criticize” Janet Jackson, hailing her as the “Queen of Production.” 

“I stay away from negativity,” she added. “I you follow me then you know that I am not involved in the mess. What I am guilty of is liking posts, going through when I’m in a big hurry and I don’t have time to really read and liking things because I trust that these are people that I follow.” 

Ultimately, Knowles admitted she made “a big mistake” and vowed to “never do that again.” 

She doubled down in the caption, insisting “Janet Jackson is an icon,” and noting that she “opened doors for Beyonce.”

The Strangest Twist At Pras’ Trial

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: Exclusives

Word on the street is something crazy went down at the federal courthouse recently. Now, “I ain’t one to gossip” (cap), but sources are buzzing about a bizarre incident involving David Kenner, the high-powered attorney that once repped Pras Michel. Some of us remember him for representing Suge Knight and Death Row Records back in the day. Kenner is known for his cool, unflappable style, almost mob-like demeanor. At some point, he rolled up to the courthouse at the start of Pras’s trial and things went totally left.

Kenner stepped through the metal detector at the time of the trial and something is off. According to sources, the normally cool dude is extremely nervous and seemingly agitated. And then— BLOOP—it happened. This is a scene straight out of a comedy flick because word is Kenner had an “accident” right there at the security checkpoint. And I am talking about exactly what you think I am talking about.

The source I talked to said he literally kept going because they are in court. Apparently, one of his team members had to jet back to his hotel, grab a fresh suit and hustle it over to the courthouse. Imagine that scene? How can you even sit there and act like you are not sitting in poop all that time. I think I would just recuse myself and go home.

For context, this happened earlier this month an evidentiary hearing for Pras, spanning from January 10-12. I really need to look up why Pras was back in court, but I think he’s working on countering his recent conviction. Pras dumped Kenner (no pun intended). On top of that, Kenner was accused of using AI to write his closing statement. He denies this. Clearly, they ARE NOT feeling him. He has to defend himself in open court against these allegations. I wonder how they determined he might be using AI in the first place. Keep this on the low, but also spread the word.

DJ Clue Vouches For LeBron James’ “Madden” Skills After NBA Star Defeats Doe Boy

LeBron James is a menacing problem on the sticks when it comes to Madden video games, according to Doe Boy and DJ Clue. On Tuesday (January 23), James called out his fellow Ohio native on Twitter after the rapper accused the NBA champion of cheating. In addition to putting Future’s Freeband Gang signee on blast, James even taunted Doe Boy by using his signature catch phrase in his retort.

“Playing @DoeBoyOfficial in Madden! He called me out! Well let me just say it ain’t going well for him right now! OH REALLLLLLYYYYY!” he wrote.

Apparently, James bullying folks on Madden has become a regular occurrence over the years, no matter who it is. World renowned Hip-Hop tastemaker DJ Clue even chimed in, vouching for James’s skills on the game in a reply in the thread.

“@DoeBoyOfficial don’t feel bad…he been doing this since the beginning of time …he kilt @DJDONDEMARCO 21-0,” Clue wrote.

Prior to James and Clue’s remarks, Doe Boy shared a video of the live gameplay on his Instagram Story, revealing the unbelievable glitches and moves Bron was pulling off.

”Bro I ain’t gone lie, bro,” Doe Boy began. “I’m really a dog and n###as really can’t f##k with me in this s###—how the f##k is this n###a. Man, bro ain’t no way—man she with this cheating a## s### like that!”

He continued, “Bro this n###a got the sliders up or something, like what? Man this n###a just know how to do everything in life though like he a super n###a.” Thank God I didn’t gamble that n###a. Rich ass n###a taking my little bread my feelings over here hurt.”

In another separate story video, Doe Boy seemingly deflected the loss by accusing James of utilizing his son Bronny James for assistance during their bout.

Lil Pump Says Joe Budden Will “Burn In Hell” For Beating Women

Lil Pump unexpectedly attacked Joe Budden in a social media rant on Tuesday (January 23). The Florida-bred rapper threatened to fight Budden for hitting and harassing women.

“I don’t respect a guy who f###### hits women,” Lil Pump said on Instagram Live. “You hear me? So, listen up – f### Joe Budden! ‘Cause you literally harass women. Why the f### is you harassing women, hoe ass n####? You know what? Your ass will burn in hell ‘cause I’m ready to crash out by this s###.”

He continued, “Don’t hit women, don’t harass women. What the f### is wrong with you? Go hit a guy. Come hit me, n####. Let’s go. Let’s crash out together. Whatchu wanna do? Your only song is ‘Pump It Up’ … Little weird ass jit. I’ll slap the f### outta you and your bald-ass head. F### wrong with you, jit? And guess what? I’m flying to New York next week, n####. We’ll crash out. So, yeah, stop hitting women.”

Lil Pump also criticized Budden on Instagram Stories. The posts included Budden’s mugshot and a screenshot of a Variety article detailing sexual harassment allegations against the rapper-turned-podcaster.

“F### Joe Budden 43 year old drug addict women [beater] ur worthless go hit a man not a woman,” Lil Pump wrote on Instagram Stories. “It’s never okay to hit women ur a p############.”

It was unclear why Budden’s alleged abuse of women suddenly caught Pump’s attention. Budden’s exes Tahiry Jose and Cyn Santana accused him of abuse in the past. He denied the allegations.

Budden was charged with domestic violence and grand larceny for an incident involving his ex-girlfriend in 2014. The criminal charges were dropped as he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in 2016. Disorderly conduct is a violation, which is not considered a crime in New York.

Kim Kardashian Ripped For Balenciaga Alliance: “Says A Lot About Her Character”

Kim Kardashian is Balenciaga’s new brand ambassador. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star confirmed the partnership with the controversial fashion house via Instagram on Monday (January 22), writing, “For several years now, Balenciaga’s designs have been a part of my many looks – and some of my most iconic fashion moments.  This historic fashion house embraces modernity, craftsmanship and takes an innovative approach to design under Demna (Gvasalia).”

But there are plenty of people who aren’t feeling the collaboration. Balenciaga came under fire last year after it released a campaign showing children holding teddies in bondage costumes. They were accused of condoning pedophilia and child exploitation. The company apologized for the campaign, saying at the time, “We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children’s safety and well-being.”

Kardashian, who already aligned with the brand, was called out for not cutting ties with the fashion house. She claimed to be “shaken” and “disgusted” by the images but has continued to work with the brand, most recently appearing in the campaign for their upcoming summer 2024 collection.

“For me, this long-standing relationship is built on mutual trust and a commitment to doing what’s right,” she said. “I’m excited about this next chapter for the brand and to become their ambassador.”

That didn’t stop people from promptly dragging the reality television queen for the new gig. Comments poured in, with one person writing, “Supporting genocide and pedophilia. #cancelkimkardashian” and another saying, “Kim will support anything and do anything for money. Even a brand ambassador for pedophilia.”

Another person added, “So Kim Kardashian just was name Balenciaga new brand ambassador to already be a billionaire and take money from that company KNOWN what they did and she was one of the people who spoke out against them is the crazy part , but it says a lot about her character.”

EXCLUSIVE: L.A. Reid’s Sex Drive Made Him Pass On Kanye West, John Legend & Others

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: Exclusives

Drew Dixon responded to L.A. Reid’s motion to dismiss two counts and certain statutory references in her sexual assault lawsuit on Monday (January 22). According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Dixon reiterated how Reid ignored opportunities to sign Kanye West and others after she rejected the music executive’s sexual advances.

“Following the second sexual assault in Mr. Reid’s car, Ms. Dixon intensified her efforts to avoid Mr. Reid,” Dixon’s lawyers explained. “However, Mr. Reid persisted in trying to corner her alone by inviting her to meetings in his hotel room night after night. When Ms. Dixon resisted his efforts, Mr. Reid grew angry and increasingly hostile towards her, as well as to her artists, and her ideas. This was a drastic reversal from Mr. Reid’s enthusiasm about her creative taste and instincts over the years, and harm came from the fact that Mr. Reid would directly respond to Ms. Dixon’s rejection of his sexual advances by punishing the artists Ms. Dixon had already signed or by blocking the artists she attempted to sign. This included future superstars like Kanye West, John Legend and Toya.”

Dixon accused Reid of sexually assaulting her twice when the two worked together at Arista Records. Dixon sued Reid for sexual battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and gender-motivated violence in 2023.

Reid asked a New York court to dismiss Dixon’s false imprisonment and emotional distress complaints. He also wanted the court to strike certain citations in her sexual battery claim.

Dixon urged the court to deny Redi’s motion in its entirety. She said the false imprisonment and emotional distress counts were covered by New York’s Adult Survivors Act. Dixon also pushed back against Reid arguing for an improper venue-related dismissal.

“While Defendant’s first false imprisonment of Plaintiff took place in flight on his private plane, the acts that made this unlawful confinement possible took place in Manhattan within the Court’s territorial jurisdiction in the Southern District of New York,” Dixon’s lawyers contended. “As described in the Complaint … the planning, scheduling and booking for the Arista Records retreat was completed by Arista Records staff based in Manhattan at an address located in the Southern District of New York. Karen Kwak, the Manhattan-based administrator who deceived Ms. Dixon into believing she and Mr. Reid would be traveling to Puerto Rico with a group of executives, told her of this fake plan at the Arista Records office in Manhattan, which is located in the Southern District of New York. Thus, a substantial part of the acts associated with Mr. Reid’s first false imprisonment of Ms. Dixon occurred within the Southern District of New York—without which the confinement would not have been possible.”

Dixon claimed Reid continued to make her life difficult after she left Arista Records, using his industry influence to punish her for rebuffing his sexual advances. She requested unspecified damages in her lawsuit.

Diddy faces more legal issues following several allegations of sexual assault. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Charles Kenyatta Jr. a.k.a. Charlie Cee sued the Bad Boy Records founder for trademark infringement and breach of contract in New York.

Kenyatta, an inmate at Collins Correctional Facility in New York, claimed his “Act Bad” trademark was infringed upon by Diddy. Kenyatta said he never permitted Diddy’s use of “Act Bad” for merchandise tied to the mogul’s 2023 single of the same name. Diddy’s lawyer allegedly ignored emails from Kenyatta’s lawyer after mentioning an agreement regarding the “Act Bad” trademark.

“The Certificate of Engagement and release Bad Boy Part 4 LLC contract was made and signed without the consent, assent or knowledge of Charles Kenyatta Jr.,” the lawsuit contended. “Plaintiff was entered into a contract with Sean Combs, owner of Bad Boy Part 4 LLC, without consent. The contract was sent to Plaintiff’s Entertainment Lawyer Andrew Covington on June 1st, 2023. The Plaintiff’s lawyer contacted defendant Sean Combs’ Lawyer Pamela Gurley and was told the contract was agreed by both parties. After that, Defendant Sean Comb’s lawyer stopped answering emails from Plaintiff’s Lawyer Andrew Covington.”

Kenyatta said Diddy and someone identified as John Doe orchestrated a scheme to keep the plaintiff out of the deal. Kenyatta accused Diddy of knowingly marketing and selling “Act Bad” products in bad faith.

“Sean Combs made a song called ‘ACT BAD’ and wanted to [sell] Act Bad merchandise, a percentage of the net profits for recorded song and music video, also a percentage of merchandise T-shirts, hats, etc.” Kenyatta explained. “Charles Kenyatta Jr did not sign [the] contract because he was incarcerated, and any contract should be [forwarded] to his Power of Attorney to sign on his behalf. Secondly, it was another person’s name on the contract that had to be removed. The percentage was not of Plaintiff’s liking, there was no upfront or advance monetary and it was a bunch of miscellaneous things plaintiff wanted to remove off contract.”

He continued, “The defendant Sean Combs and John Doe had a scheme to illegally squeeze out Plaintiff Charles Kenyatta Jr. from the contract. Plaintiff’s lawyer told Defendant Sean Comb’s lawyer John Doe has no ownership of Act Bad and should not be on the contract. A few weeks after that the defendant Sean Combs and John Doe were seen on stage performing the song ‘Act Bad’ together. After defendant Sean Combs and John Doe signed contract without Charles Kenyatta Jr.’s consent, the defendant Sean Combs use of trademark caused confusion as to the affiliation, connection.”

Kenyatta, who’s representing himself in the lawsuit, said his “Act Bad” trademark was tarnished by Diddy’s sexual assault allegations. The plaintiff sought $10 million in damages.

YFN Lucci accepted a plea deal in his Georgia RICO case on Tuesday (January 23). He pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.

Prosecutors dropped multiple charges, including felony murder, as part of the plea deal. The embattled rapper faced a life sentence without parole if convicted of murder.

YFN Lucci, whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett, received a 20-year sentence after accepting the plea deal. He was ordered to serve 10 years in custody and the rest on probation. YFN Lucci received credit for three years of time served. He is eligible for parole in three and a half months.

“After three years of pretrial litigation, more than two weeks of jury selection and three years of incarceration waiting for his jury trial, today, the prosecution finally relented and dismissed the murder and RICO charges against Rayshawn Bennett,” his lawyers told ABC News. “As he has maintained for three years now, Mr. Bennett will NOT cooperate in any other case.”

Prosecutors claimed YFN Lucci was the driver in a gang-related drive-by shooting that left one of his passengers dead in 2020. He apologized to the victim’s family at his sentencing.

YFN Lucci was arrested for his alleged role in the shooting in 2021. That same year, he was one of a dozen men named in a sweeping RICO indictment targeting alleged Bloods gang members. He was charged with racketeering, felony murder, violating Georgia’s anti-gang law, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

If granted parole, YFN Lucci will be released later this year. He has remained in jail since 2021. According to WSB-TV’s Michael Seiden, prosecutors had no plans to object to his release. YFN Lucci’s legal team was “very confident” he’d be released in a matter of months.
