Donald Trump dropped an absurd meme showing him and JD Vance in a fake O.J. Simpson-style car chase with Barack Obama riding shotgun in the infamous white Bronco.
The post popped up on Trump’s social feed while he was in Scotland, being targeted by protesters while meeting with European bigwigs at his golf spots.
The meme wasn’t even his original idea. It came from Donald Trump Jr., who posted it on Instagram before his father reposted it.
The image depicted Trump and Vance tailing Obama, as if it were 1994 again, clearly poking fun at the former president while rumors and Epstein chatter continued to circulate online.
The timing is not random.
Donald Trump is targeting former President Barack Obama as part of an effort to deflect attention from renewed scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump’s name recently surfaced in investigative documents tied to the convicted sex offender, creating political backlash despite no evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s crimes.
In response, Trump has pushed a conspiracy theory accusing Obama of treason and election interference in 2016, aiming to redirect public discourse away from the Epstein controversy.
Trump dropped the meme as protesters were outside his properties in Scotland, shouting about everything from climate issues to his ties with Epstein.
So far, nothing he said during the visit grabbed more attention than his crazy O.J. meme.
GloRilla turned up the heat Friday (July 25) at her “1st Annual Glo Bash” in Memphis with a wild onstage lapdance that lit up social media and overshadowed her recent legal drama.
The Memphis rapper, fresh off a felony drug arres in Georgia just three days earlier, let loose during her homecoming show at FedExForum.
Midway through her track “Typa,” she pulled a male concertgoer onstage and gave him a lap dance that had the crowd screaming and phones recording.
The raunchy moment quickly went viral online.

The concert came on the heels of GloRilla’s July 22 arrest after police discovered marijuana and a controlled substance in her Georgia home. Officers were originally responding to a burglary call on July 19, when someone inside her residence fired shots at intruders.
Authorities said the drugs were found “in plain view.” GloRilla turned herself in and was released on a $22,260 bond.
Despite the legal mess, the “Glo Bash” went on as planned—and sold out. GloRilla leaned into the controversy, selling T-shirts featuring her mugshot from the arrest. The merch quickly became a crowd favorite, with some calling the image “iconic.”
She also took to social media to vent about the situation. According to Glo, she was the one arrested even though her home had been broken into. Long story short my house gets home invaded and Im the only one that gets arrested,” she posted. “So that’s tea.”
Earlier in the week, GloRilla reunited with her original crew to recreate her viral “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” music video, bringing the same energy that launched her into Hip-Hop stardom.
Claressa Shields walked into Little Caesars Arena on Saturday (July 26) flanked by Rick Ross and Papoose, then walked out with her undisputed women’s heavyweight crown still intact after a dominant showing against Lani Daniels in Detroit.
Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and five-division world champion, controlled nearly every second of the bout, earning a unanimous decision with scorecards reading 100-90, 99-91 and 99-91.
“I thought she wanted to fight, but she didn’t fight until the last three rounds, and even then I was still beating her,” Shields said after the win.
The sold-out crowd of over 15,000 roared as the Flint native showcased her range, switching between body shots, inside work and long-range jabs that kept Daniels hesitant through most of the fight.
“I knew that she would be tough and I knew I would have to break her,” Shields said.
Shields made headlines before the first bell by revealing a tattoo of Papoose’s name inked beneath her chest at the weigh-in. The rapper then joined her for the ring walk, along with Rick Ross, adding a Hip-Hop flair to the spectacle.
With the win, Shields improved her professional record to 17-0 with three knockouts and retained all five of her heavyweight titles — WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO and The Ring.
The victory marked another milestone in Shields’s already historic career, which includes undisputed championships at middleweight, light middleweight and now heavyweight.
Boxer Shakur Stevensonpraised Shields on social media after the fight, writing on X, “U can hate greatness but u can’t deny it CLARESSA IS THE BEST WOMAN TO EVER LACE UP A PAIR OF GLOVES, I’m so proud of u T Rex.”
He added, “Imagine being so great u loss one time in your entire life, And avenged it on the biggest stage.. I never seen nothing like this in my life, If nobody gone speak on it I will she won 2 olympic gold medals also was Undisputed in 2 weight classes, The 1’s who hate should do they hw cause what she doing seems impossible but she make it look easy @claressashields. People call it Ego I see confidence on the highest level Crown her.”
Beyoncé lit up Allegiant Stadium on Saturday (July 26) in Las Vegas with a surprise Destiny’s Child reunion during the final night of her Cowboy Carter Tour.
The signing icon stunned the crowd when she brought out Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for their first public performance together since Coachella in 2018.
The trio ran through a short but high-energy set, including “Bootylicious” and “Lose My Breath,” before joining Beyoncé on her Renaissance-era track “Energy,” complete with the viral “Mute Challenge.”
Beyoncé introduced the moment with a single line that sent the stadium into a frenzy: “Destiny’s Child, b####.”
🚨 BEYONCÉ, KELLY & MICHELLE NA COWBOY CARTER TOUR!
The performance then flowed into a solo from Blue Ivy, who took center stage for “Deja Vu.” The transition had many online calling it a symbolic handoff.
Blue Ivy coming out right after Destiny’s Child is truly the continuation of a legacy,” one person posted.
Others speculated that the moment hinted at what’s next for Beyoncé’s trilogy of albums. Renaissance dropped in 2022, Cowboy Carter followed in 2024, and now all eyes are on Act III.
“What if Act III is a Destiny’s Child reunion album. Act…3. DC…3?,” one user wrote.
Some guessed the next project could lean into rock or gospel, while others urged patience.
“Yall so pressed for act iii, damn let Cowboy Carter era end. That’s yall problem now..wanting microwaveable meals for music.”
The Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour wrapped after 32 stadium shows across North America and Europe.
Destiny’s Child officially disbanded in 2006, but have reunited for major events, including the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and their 2018 Coachella set.
OK, y’all. I’m about to speak on something I honestly don’t know much about—but I do want to give you something real to think about. It involves sex trafficking, missing Black girls in Chicago and Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, I already know where your mind is going. But stay with me.
There’s a quiet epidemic happening in Chicago: Black girls are disappearing at a staggering rate. You don’t have to take my word for it—look it up. The numbers are right there. Black women and girls go missing in far greater numbers than any other group in this country. But because they’re Black, we don’t hear about it every day. If they were white? You’d probably see daily coverage.
In Chicago, Black girls and women between the ages of 10 and 20 make up a disproportionately high percentage of missing person cases, despite being a smaller fraction of the city’s population. Specifically, they represent about 30% of all missing person cases in Chicago while only comprising 2% of the city’s population. A 2023 investigation by the Invisible Institute and City Bureau found that Black children, in general, account for 57% of missing person cases in Chicago.
It’s not treated like a national crisis. But it gets deeper. There’s a rumor floating around that connects Epstein, sex trafficking in and out of Chicago, missing Black girls and drug trafficking. And—guess who?
Yeah. Him.
This could get very messy. Trump is already trying to dodge the Epstein allegations. The man’s name pops up regularly in the Epstein files. And while he’s trying to distance himself, even some of his MAGA base isn’t buying it anymore. They are revolting. He’s like a fly caught in a spiderweb. He wriggles around thinking he’s slick, but that web’s got him. Not sure he knows this yet.
Now here’s something that’s always struck me as strange. Epstein was publicly known for targeting young white girls. That’s all the media ever really showed. But there are whispers now that Black girls may have also been victimized. The dots are starting to connect—and it’s not looking good.
There’s talk that this could blow up in the next few weeks or months—if it doesn’t get buried first. They’re already throwing deals at Ghislaine Maxwell. Yes, the same woman convicted of trafficking underage girls. She’s allegedly getting partial immunity. How?!
Let that sink in.
Meanwhile, Trump’s name is all over those flight logs. His ties to Epstein run deep. He maintains that he isn’t lying when everybody says he’s lying.
All of this should lead to convictions, expulsions, impeachments—something. But this is America under Trump’s rule. We need accountability. We need peace. We need to start caring about Black girls and women.
A Houston businesswoman and wannabe rapper who goes by “Dom” has been ordered to pay millions to intended parents who trusted her company, Surrogacy Escrow Account Management (SEAM), to handle payments for their surrogates.
Over 40 families say Side rerouted those funds into her personal empire — including a fancy music studio, designer threads, and a full-blown Hip-Hop career.
We’re talking about over $16 million allegedly funneled away from its original purpose — paying for surrogate moms and medical bills — and instead used to bankroll her label, VGN Bae Music Group, and a $6 million music compound in Houston.
The lawsuit states that Side and her business partner, Anthony Hall, left hundreds of families in chaos when SEAM suddenly ceased operations in June.
Parents claim they were promised that their deposits were protected by $1 million in insurance and FDIC coverage of up to $ 250,000. Instead, all they got were ghost emails and a vanishing act.
A judge has ordered Side to pay $1 million in damages.
They’re also pushing the court to put a freeze on Side’s assets and force her to cough up the money they say she stole.
Meanwhile, the FBI is now poking around, and there are already other lawsuits and creditor claims piling up. Side hasn’t been criminally charged yet, but this isn’t looking good.
Freddie Gibbs didn’t hold back on Alfredo 2. We appreciate the album for the artistic merits. But his newest collaboration with The Alchemist is being talked about for another reason. The follow-up to 2020’s Alfredo has a few unmistakable disses—he even went at former collaborator Curren$y.
On the track “Gas Station Sushi,” Gibbs says: “Could’ve ran that Fetti by myself, b####, I’m the best with AI, yeah/B####, keep it G, we like on part three, n###a, uh/Go start a Chevy up, don’t start me, n###a.”
The references run deep.
Gibbs and Curren$y’s history dates back over a decade. What happened? “Scottie Pippen” off Covert Coup is still a classic. Fetti was a tight, nine-track project that earned underground praise.
He didn’t say his name, but we know. Curren$y is famously known for his love of classic Chevys, especially in his Pilot Talk series. Freddie believes he carried that project.
But Gibbs wasn’t done.
On “Lavish Shots,” another dope track from Alfredo 2, he takes aim at both Gunna and internet troll Akademiks.
“I’m still gonna squeeze Akademiks t######, that fat bastard,” he raps with venom. “Gunna dissed me and took a plea, he a rat bastard.”
The vitriol is nothing new for Fredrick.
He’s has made a career out of stepping to enemies both in interviews and on wax. He went at Jeezy for years, and that’s actually how I came to know him. It eventually became public to folks like me. More recently, Benny The Butcher turned into a beatdown in Buffalo. Alfredo 2 is a lyrical hit list and The Alchemist’s moody beats provide the perfect canvas for his painting.
There’s no official response from Curren$y yet, but he can read between the bars.
With Alfredo 2, Freddie and ALC show out. Hopefully the disses are just good marketing. We know bro is ready for whoever wants smoke.
Beyoncé delivered more than just music to Southern California this year—her BeyGOOD foundation helped funnel over $3 million in direct relief to victims of the devastating Eaton Fire and other Los Angeles-area wildfires.
The multi-pronged effort included cash grants, wellness events, clothing donations, and even tickets to Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” Tour.
The support came as part of a larger response from the music industry, which rallied behind the FireAid benefit concert that raised a staggering $100 million just weeks after the fires scorched the region.
The Eaton Fire ignited on January 7 near Eaton Canyon in Los Angeles County. Fed by Santa Ana winds that reached 100 mph, the blaze tore through more than 14,000 acres.
Seventeen people lost their lives, over 9,400 buildings were destroyed and more than 100,000 residents were forced to evacuate from cities including Pasadena and Altadena.
The fire, which burned for 24 days before being fully contained on January 31, also damaged water systems and disrupted schools and science facilities.
Let’s not pretend the 2015 racist rant didn’t happen. That alone stripped away much of the goodwill he built over the decades. And to make things worse, he did other foul stuff, too. It’s on record that he helped bust up a forming union led by Jesse “The Body” Ventura. Jesse doesn’t exactly remember him fondly.
Naturally, all this posthumous disdain is upsetting to the family. Understandable. They lost their payday…I mean, patriarch. But that doesn’t excuse the man’s racist actions. And more importantly, he never truly made amends. No real apology and definitely no reconciliation. So yeah, maybe he passed because life had already passed him by. One scandal after another… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
What’s really catching heat now is the family’s reported anger over people calling him racist. There’s a statement floating around—though I haven’t confirmed its source—that says:
“IT’S SO DISRESPECTFUL TO CALL HIM A RACIST AT A TIME LIKE THIS”
Folks were calling him a racist long before now. That stain doesn’t magically disappear the moment someone dies. So when would be the right time, Hogan family? The man detonated your whole household.
By the way, here are his own words: “I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f###ing n####rs.” – Hulk Hogan
He was reportedly worth around $25 million when he died. That’s decent but not “immortal legend” money. Brother was working hard up until the end. And now? His new wife stands to walk away with a serious bag. I can’t imagine the rest of the family will be thrilled about that. They helped build the empire and this woman might get the lion’s share of the lion’s money?
Clayton Howard took a pretty big loss in his lawsuit against Diddy and Cassie Ventura, after personal medical records revealing his herpes diagnosis were made public despite his plea for privacy.
The self-represented plaintiff filed a motion to seal portions of his sex trafficking lawsuit, which includes graphic allegations of abuse and medical information he says could cause serious harm if released.
Before the court ruled on the request, the sensitive documents were posted on the federal court’s online system, making them publicly accessible.
Howard quickly notified court staff, claiming the release violated privacy protections under HIPAA and federal court rules. He asked for the immediate removal of the documents while the judge considered his application.
Judge Anne Hwang denied Howard’s initial request to seal the records but allowed him to submit a revised motion by August 4, 2025. In the meantime, she ordered a provisional seal to block public access to some of the files that contain private health details.
Howard says he feared retaliation due to Diddy’s influence and his own financial instability, which kept him trapped in the situation.
He claims Cassie manipulated him into non-consensual sex, including during her menstrual cycle and that Diddy offered him “water money” after traumatic encounters.
He accuses both of causing long-term psychological trauma and is seeking $20 million in damages.
Though Diddy was previously acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, he was convicted of transporting individuals for prostitution.
Cassie’s role as a co-defendant in Howard’s case also challenges her public image as a victim.
50 Cent is finally set to collect a long-contested $200,000 from Young Buck after a drawn-out legal fight that played out through bankruptcy court filings in Nashville.
According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, Young Buck has agreed to repay 50 Cent $200,006.90. The debt was included in a pool of unsecured claims totaling between $192,000 and $207,000, with Buck’s estate set to distribute funds once liquidation is finalized.
The money stems from a disputed $250,000 payment that the G-Unit boss says was a loan, while Buck’s side claimed it was an advance for future G-Unit music.
Still, under bankruptcy law, the court accepted 50 Cent’s claim as valid. Since Buck has no secured creditors — meaning no debts tied to collateral, such as property or vehicles — the rapper’s estate will prioritize unsecured debts, including Fif’s.
Trustee Erica R. Johnson’s final report indicates that Buck’s bankruptcy estate has generated approximately $1.05 million through the sale of assets, including music rights, vehicles, jewelry, and studio equipment. Of that, roughly $445,000 has already gone to cover administrative and legal costs.
That leaves just over $600,000 to be divided among remaining creditors, with 50 Cent’s claim taking a significant portion.
The court’s final approval of the distribution plan is expected soon, which would trigger payments to 50 Cent and others.
Milagro Gramz has 30 days to hand over $5,000 to Megan Thee Stallion after a federal judge ruled the blogger must reimburse the rapper’s legal team for work tied to a discovery dispute in their ongoing defamation case.
Gramz has denied the allegations and has changed attorneys twice, following the withdrawal of her previous legal counsel due to unpaid fees.
The order requires Gramz to pay Megan’s attorneys for the time spent addressing these discovery issues.
The lawsuit, filed in October 2024, alleges that Gramz launched a targeted online campaign against the Grammy-winning rapper. Megan, whose legal name is Megan Pete, alleges Gramz spread false claims about her involvement in the 2020 Tory Lanez shooting and shared manipulated videos without her consent.
Megan’s legal team also alleges Gramz acted as a “puppet” for Lanez, who was convicted of shooting Megan and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Megan Thee Stallion claims the online attacks caused her emotional distress and damaged her public image, mainly as the falsehoods spread widely across social media.
Jeannie Mai opened up about the emotional toll of co-parenting in an Instagram post shared during a solo vacation in France, a year after her divorce from Jeezy.
In a carousel titled “postcards from France,” on Thursday (July 24), Mai shared scenic snapshots from her getawa. She also turned the spotlight on the realities of raising her daughter, Monaco, while navigating life post-split.
“Every time Coco is with her other home, I take this time for me,” she wrote. “This is what co-parenting looks like – a heart split in two places, but still learning how to beat fully.”
Mai continued, “To every mama sharing her child, this is your reminder: your happiness is not separate from theirs. When you shine, they feel it, too.”
Jeezy and Jeannie Mai finalized their divorce in June 2024. The former couple married in March 2021. They welcomed two-year-old Monaco in January 2022.
Their split turned contentious after the rapper filed for divorce in September 2023, citing that the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and requesting joint legal and physical custody.
The proceedings included sealed court filings and a private settlement, but public documents revealed serious accusations from both sides.
Mai alleged physical abuse, neglect and unsafe firearm storage in court documents. Jeezy denied those claims, calling them “false and deeply disturbing.”
Although the divorce was finalized nearly a year ago, the former couple remains embroiled in legal battles over property disputes, money, and access.
Jeezy asked the court to make Mai pay $20,000 for his legal fees, while Mai requested the same for her attorney costs; both requests were denied.
Custody arrangements for their daughter Monaco are confidential, but tensions remain high.
Claressa Shields confirmed that she and Papoose are planning to have a baby in 2026 and made it clear that their relationship is solid, despite the online noise stirred up after Remy Ma exposed their relationship.
During a July 2025 appearance on The Pivot Podcast, the boxing champ addressed her personal timeline, saying she’s ready to shift gears and start a family.
“I’m gonna have a baby next year,” Shields revealed. “We already have it planned out.”
She added that motherhood won’t put her gloves away for good. “After I go through my stuff, then I’ll come back and fight some more, and then probably have another one and do the same thing again.”
Shields, 30, explained that waiting until the end of her career to have children isn’t part of the plan.
“I don’t want to wait till I’m, you know, 40, 43, whatever, after my career, to have my kids,” she said, adding, “I want to be able to run at the park with my kids… I don’t want to be too old.”
The relationship between Shields and Papoose became public in December 2024 after Remy Ma, Papoose’s estranged wife, posted online about the couple. Shields said the attention wasn’t her doing.
“You make it seem like I’m somebody that came in and disrupted a happy household when I didn’t. That’s not what happened.”
However, Shields pushed back on the idea of any rivalry.
“We’re not fighting over a man,” she insisted. “That’s a stupid narrative. And I’m a grown ass woman. And I’m a good looking woman that’s successful. I don’t have to fight over no man.”
Meanwhile, Claressa Shields will defend her undisputed heavyweight titles against IBF light heavyweight champion Lani Daniels on Saturday (July 26) at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, marking her second fight of the year and third in 12 months.
Joyner Lucas came out swinging Friday (July 25) with a scathing diss track titled “Round 2 KO” aimed squarely at Skepta, firing back after days of online taunts and lyrical jabs between the two rappers.
In the track, Lucas wastes no time dismantling Skepta’s credibility, mocking his success and questioning his authenticity.
“You barely went sheet metal,” Lucas raps, brushing off Skepta’s platinum status before claiming the UK rapper had his chain snatched and “was curled on the floor like a leaf petal.”
Lucas also accused Skepta of swagger-jacking A$AP Rocky and taking it in a direction that left him unimpressed. “How you gon’ steal A$AP Rocky swag and f### it all up and go gay with it?” he spits.
The Massachusetts rapper didn’t stop there. He referenced UK rapper Giggs, claiming even he wasn’t feeling Skepta’s recent moves. “Really hate your s###,” Lucas said, quoting Giggs’ reaction to Skepta’s challenge.
Lucas also took aim at Skepta’s perceived obsession with Drake, criticizing him for chasing validation from the Canadian superstar.
“You dick ride n##### and you fine with it/You got a lil’ cosign and you proud of it/And you’ll do anythin’ just to get a lil’ OVO chain, even swallow it.”
Perhaps the most personal blow came when Lucas brought up Skepta’s relationship with grime legend Wiley, accusing him of betrayal following their falling out:
“How you do your n#### Wiley dirty, then turn your back on the UK grime scene?/You a snake ass ho, you slimy.”
Joyner Lucas & Skepta Trade Shots
The back-and-forth began after Skepta publicly challenged American rappers to go bar for bar with UK MCs, claiming superiority.
Lucas was the first to accept, releasing “Nobody Cares” in response to Skepta’s “Friendly Fire.”
Skepta quickly returned fire with “Round 2,” prompting Lucas to livestream his reaction and promise a response.
On Thursday (July 24), Skepta called out Lucas on Twitter for the delay. “If I ever took this long to reply you guys wouldn’t let me breathe,” he wrote. “Like I ain’t got s### to be doing.”
He followed up with, “He knew his album was coming out when he came on Twitter and involved himself, cos he needed the promo. Now he can’t reply cos he’s doing album promo.. make it make sense kmt.”
Lucas responded later that day on Instagram, teasing the diss with a warning: “It’s a bodybag for you tomorrow, my boy.”
A$AP Rocky laughed off online teasing, playfully embracing the jokes after social media users clowned his red patent leather Mary Jane shoes, comparing them to Dorothy’s iconic ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz.
Earlier this week, the Harlem native posted a carousel of images on Instagram, including one where he sported the glossy red shoes, captioned “SLIDIN IN PARIS.”
A third user took aim at his music hiatus, writing, “ASAP Rocky on his 8th Roll Out attempt this year and we only 7 months in. Bro pls just go away and take care of Rihanna kids, u keep embarrassing yourself. And why tf Rocky wearing red ‘wizard of oz’ Dorothy high heels.”
Rather than retreat, A$AP Rocky leaned into the moment on Thursday (July 24). He posted a zoomed-in photo of the shoes with a nod to his fashion collective. He captioned the post, “WIZARD OF AWGE.”
A$AP Rocky Debuts AWGE x Christian Louboutin Mary Janes
The red Mary Janes are part of an AWGE x Christian Louboutin collaboration, first introduced in black during his second AWGE fashion show in Paris this past June.
The rapper previously wore the black version to Anna Wintour’s Pre-Met Gala Dinner, continuing his pattern of embracing gender-fluid fashion. Known for blending masculine and feminine aesthetics, Rocky has regularly incorporated skirts, kilts, pearls and oversized bags into his wardrobe.
“I don’t know who drew the line between femininity and masculinity — but I don’t see any barriers for me,” he said during a May 2025 Vogue podcast appearance. He also admitted to borrowing from Rihanna’s closet: “She has pieces she don’t even know I took.”
Donald Trump is back on his law and order playbook This time, the nation’s homeless population is the focus.
On Thursday (July 24), Trump signed a new executive order titled “Ending Vagrancy and Restoring Order.” This will be a dramatic shifts on how the federal government handles homelessness. I’m suspicious, but let’s take this walk together.
The directive empowers the Attorney General Pam Bondi to upend prior judicial rulings and scrap consent decrees. They currently block local and state officials from removing unhoused (homeless) individuals from public spaces. In essence, aims to relocate people from tents to treatment centers.
They’re framing this move as a solution, but the language in the policy has already sparked major concern. You better believe it. According to the executive order, federal funding will now be funneled into creating and expanding rehabilitation, mental health and treatment facilities designed to “receive” homeless individuals. There are parts in this order that includes “involuntary placements” and that’s vague.
The order explicitly blocks registered sex offenders from being housed near children. There are also some women and children only shelters. Some are crying foul about discrimination and inclusivity in these housing programs. I don’t see an issue with the sex offenders part, but hopefully they’re not separating functional families. Something still smells weird.
Needless to say, there’s something wrong in America. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, 771,480 people experienced homelessness in 2024 and nearly 168,000 were chronically homeless. I think the need to rethink how they approach this, especially when looking at the statement they released. Go buy some empathy.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sent a firm statement to Newsweek, saying: “By removing vagrant criminals from our streets and redirecting resources toward substance abuse programs, the Trump Administration will ensure that Americans feel safe in their own communities and that individuals suffering from addiction or mental health struggles are able to get the help they need.”
Now they are linking homelessness to criminality. Really? And they seems to be forcing rehabilitation on their terms. In March, Trump targeted homeless encampments on federal lands and launched the National Center for Warrior Independence. Sounds nice, but it’s for homeless veterans. How did they get that way?
In 2024, the Supreme Court flexed on the homeless, backing Trump. They voted on a case that upheld bans on homeless encampments in Grants Pass, Oregon. In a 6–3 decision, the justices ruled that removing people from public land does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment. It certainly criminalizes having a downfall. They just want to sweep these humans off the streets like trash.
Is this a genuine attempt at reform or a Draconian power play?
Top Boy actor Micheal Ward has been charged with two counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault in London following allegations tied to a single woman and an incident from January 2023.
Ward is scheduled to appear before Thames Magistrates’ Court on August 28, according to a statement released Friday by the Metropolitan Police. The charges were confirmed by authorities, who noted the alleged offenses involve one woman.
Detective Superintendent Scott Ware, part of the team handling the case, said, “Our specialist officers continue to support the woman who has come forward – we know investigations of this nature can have significant impact on those who make reports.”
Ward, a rising name in British film and television, rose to prominence playing Jamie in the Netflix crime drama Top Boy, which was executive produced by rapper Drake.
His breakout role helped land him a BAFTA nomination and opened doors to high-profile film projects.
Before acting full-time, Ward worked as a model and appeared in music videos for artists including Lily Allen and Tom Walker. He made his screen debut in the 2016 film “Brotherhood” and later starred in “Empire of Light” opposite Olivia Colman. Most recently, he appeared in the 2024 sports drama The Beautiful Game alongside Bill Nighy.
As of now, Ward has not made any public statements regarding the charges.
Diddy is facing a new civil lawsuit from a man who claims the Hip-Hop mogul and several major hotels conspired to exploit him during a series of disturbing encounters at high-end properties in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
Michael Ejiawoko filed the suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleging he was recruited by Diddy in 2018 under the false belief that he would be engaging in consensual sex work with adult women.
Instead, Ejiawoko says he later discovered the women were coerced, and that Diddy orchestrated and observed the acts without participating. The complaint also names The Palazzo, Wynn Las Vegas and The London West Hollywood as defendants.
Ejiawoko accuses hotel staff of helping Diddy conceal his identity and facilitate the encounters by booking rooms under aliases, including the name “Mr. Star.”
“Hotel staff knowingly facilitated Mr. Combs’ illicit activities by reserving hotel rooms under aliases, including the name ‘Mr. Star,’ to shield Combs’ identity, granting access to private or secured areas to Combs and his JOHN DOE associates, escorting Ejiawoko and other participants in the encounters to and from rooms, cleaning and removing paraphernalia used in the encounters, including oils, substances, and drug-related items; e. Failing to report or investigate clear signs of illegal conduct,” said Ejiawoko’s attorney, Jonathan D. Evans.
Ejiawoko claims he was instructed to use oil provided by Diddy, which he believes was laced with drugs. He also says the sexual encounters were secretly recorded without his permission.
The lawsuit alleges that Diddy and the hotels collaborated to conceal the activities and avoid legal consequences.
The suit accuses Diddy and the hotels of sexual battery, civil conspiracy and violations of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Ejiawoko argues he was unable to give informed consent due to being drugged and misled.
He is seeking more than $500,000 in damages for emotional distress and mental anguish, along with punitive damages and attorney fees. He has requested a jury trial.
The lawsuit adds to a growing list of legal troubles for Diddy, who has recently faced multiple civil complaints involving allegations of sexual misconduct, according to the court filing.
Jess Hilarious refused to back down after critics demanded an apology for confronting popular streamer N3on over his history of racist remarks during his tense appearance on “The Breakfast Club.”
“A lot of you are still waiting for me to apologize to this lil muthafucka and it ain’t gone’ happen,” she said in a video posted to Instagram Thursday (July 24), standing firm on her decision to call out the controversial content creator.
The comedian followed up with a compilation of N3on’s past offensive statements, including clips of him saying “I f###### hate you Black people” and referring to Black people as his “least favorite race.”
She also included footage of N3on looking dejected after the interview, saying, “they wouldn’t even shake my hand.”
Jess explained that she did her homework before the interview, noting that N3on had reached out to appear on the show.
“What he thought would be a walk in the park turned into something else,” she said.
Her caption on the post took another jab at N3on: “And @n3onsingh is still currently talking slick…but BACK IN THE HOUSE! Remember you come back in a year….’ make that change’ Michael Jackson. SOME SAY WE WENT TOO HARD, I SAY WE DIDNT DO ENOUGH! Regardless…it’s all love.”
The backlash against N3on intensified as netizens reacted to his recent video titled “My Next Chapter.” The post featured collaborations with several Black creators, including Nick Cannon and Dave Blunts.
Social media users quickly flooded his comments, questioning how someone with such a documented history of racism could now align himself with Black talent.
“Wait so all the Collabs he got that made him pop is with all black ppl. But he h@tes us,” one commenter wrote. “This video show all his interviews and live streams with nothing but BLACK PPL.”
Another added, “How is any black person under his comments promoting him? How does any black person work for him? Have we really lost the plot much.”
