Megan Thee Stallion, Milagro Gramz Trade Shots Through Statements After Verdict

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 3 Dec 2025 01:03 GMT

Megan Thee Stallion fired back at critics questioning her defamation victory against blogger Milagro Gramz after a Miami jury awarded the Houston rapper $75,000 in damages on December 1. The legal dispute reached its conclusion when nine jurors found Milagro Cooper, known professionally as Milagro Gramz, liable for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The verdict included $15,000 in compensatory damages for defamation, $8,000 for emotional distress and $50,000 for promotion of deepfake pornography featuring the rapper. Hours after the ruling, tensions escalated when both women issued competing statements about the case's outcome and its implications. Milagro Gramz went live on Instagram within hours of the verdict to address supporters and frame the ruling as motivation for future projects. The blogger, whose real name is Milagro Cooper, appeared defiant during the livestream. View this post on Instagram "I'm start working on my mixtape because apparently the only place where you can bully people and talk crazy and pop s### is in the studio," Milagro Gramz told viewers during the broadcast. "So I'm gonna go get on my mixtape s###, and make sure I channel all my energy into my raps and put that out. Let that be artistic expression." Gramz also released an official statement through Asilia Law Firm, P.A., while her Instagram Live featured more personal commentary on the case's impact. During the livestream, Gramz thanked her audience for their support throughout the legal proceedings. "I love you guys so much. Hope that y'all can see the bigger picture and that you understand what new media is," she said. "I hope that you understand that the things that we do, in the work that we put in, is valuable." The blogger maintained her stance despite the jury's decision. "Solid b######, they ain't built, they born," she continued. "I'm happy that I stood up for something that I believed in, followed it all the way through, and I don't need validation from anybody else about those things." Thank you... Here they go lying again AS USUAL If you want REAL MEDIA/NEWS know how to be Patient and know how to READ https://t.co/ST43pIBufG — TINA SNOW (@theestallion) December 2, 2025 Megan Thee Stallion responded directly to media coverage on X, writing: "Here they go lying again AS USUAL If you want REAL MEDIA/NEWS know how to be Patient and know how to read." The rapper's legal team disputed claims from Gramz's attorneys about the verdict's scope, stating: "Contrary to public statements issued by Milagro's attorneys, the court has not issued a final judgment regarding the defamation count. The judge will make a final ruling and determine the entire financial amount that Milagro will be required to pay Megan, inclusive of legal bills and the defamation count, at a later date." The case centered on allegations that Milagro Gramz spread false information about Megan Thee Stallion and promoted deepfake pornographic content featuring the rapper. Megan's legal team argued during trial that Gramz served as a "mouthpiece" and "puppet" for coordinated harassment campaigns. The final judgment amount remains pending, as the judge will determine additional costs, including legal fees, at a later hearing. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/megan-thee-stallion-milagro-gramz-trade-shots-through-statements-after-verdict/

50 Cent Takes Aim At Jane Doe & Her Morals: "Hoes Are Different"

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 23:02 GMT

50 Cent didn't hold back when asked about his new docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning on Diddy, revealing he regrets not including one person in particular: "Jane Doe," a woman many believe is his ex and the mother of his son, Daphne Joy. In a wide-ranging interview with GQ, 50 Cent said her presence would've added a different kind of clarity to the series. "The one person that I wish was in the doc that would create clarity for people in a different way is Jane Doe. So you could see someone who was willing to do it for money. Do you understand?" 50 Cent said. The rapper and television executive contrasted Jane Doe's alleged motivations with those of Cassie Ventura, who filed a lawsuit against Diddy that is now settled. "Cassie came in so early, she's a baby at 19. Look, the innocent energy that you feel when his kids are walking into the courtroom and you're sympathetic to them, that's who Cassie was when she met him," Fif said. He continued, "It is a really interesting balance of things because people think of how a woman who has a moral compass, a traditional woman would feel under those circumstances. They don't think about hoes. Now, hoes are a bit different. They're not so emotionally connected to the sexual experience. So they can have that sexual experience with those other people as long as you're going to pay." Watch Video on YouTube The woman referred to as Jane Doe delivered harrowing testimony in the federal sex trafficking case against Diddy. She described being coerced into group sex acts, referred to as "freak-offs," at luxury hotels in cities like Los Angeles, Miami and New York. Jane said Diddy insisted no condoms be used, claiming he didn't want to "see a rubber" and liked to "play around with it." She also said the men would "finish on me," after which Diddy would have sex with her. She added she was told not to clean up because Diddy "liked to play with it." She testified that she was often high during these encounters and feared Diddy's reaction if she refused. Jane said she once tried to negotiate condom use, even recording it, but Diddy guilt-tripped her. "It was not something he wanted to see," she said. 50 Cent made it clear he sees a distinction between women like Cassie and Jane Doe. "If the person's a frequent OnlyFans person and already solicited and looking for somebody to pay and you meet them and you tell them, 'Just be who you are and meet other people and do it in front of me,' you don't think they'll do it?" 50 Cent said. Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which dives into years of allegations against Diddy, does not include Jane Doe's testimony. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/50-cent-takes-aim-at-jane-doe-her-morals-hoes-are-different/

EXCLUSIVE: Milagro Gramz Gets Big Win Over Megan Thee Stallion As Judge Slashes Damages

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 22:30 GMT

Milagro Gramz scored a pivotal courtroom win in Florida when a federal judge tossed the defamation payout awarded to Megan Thee Stallion. The judge slashed the total damages to $59,000 and shifted the outcome of a lawsuit that had gripped the Hip-Hop world for weeks. The decision, issued on Tuesday (December 2), wiped out all damages tied to defamation per se after the court found Megan failed to meet a crucial legal requirement under Florida law. The judge ruled that Megan Thee Stallion didn't comply with Florida Statute 770.01, which requires plaintiffs to give media defendants written notice at least 5 days before filing a defamation suit. The court noted it was "uncontested" that Megan never sent such notice. Since the jury had already determined that Gramz operated as a media figure due to her consistent commentary and reporting on public legal matters, the defamation award was legally unenforceable. That ruling eliminated a $15,000 compensatory award and a $1,000 punitive award tied to the defamation claim. What remains is $59,000 in damages linked to two other claims the jury upheld: intentional infliction of emotional distress and the promotion of an altered sexual depiction. Watch Video on YouTube The trial, which ran from November 17 through December 1, pulled back the curtain on the digital fallout Megan endured after the Tory Lanez shooting case. Jurors heard about Milagro Gramz's repeated online accusations that Megan lied under oath, calling her a "non-credible witness" and suggesting she misled the court. These statements were at the heart of the now-vacated defamation claim. Megan's legal team also introduced evidence that Gramz promoted a manipulated, explicit video of the rapper without her consent. The jury found that Gramz acted "willfully and maliciously" in sharing the altered content, awarding $50,000 in damages for that claim alone. Another $9,000 was awarded for emotional distress, stemming from Megan's testimony about the emotional toll of relentless online harassment, misinformation and public ridicule. Megan Thee Stallion described the financial and psychological cost of therapy and recovery in the wake of the viral attacks. While the judge closed the case, the court retains jurisdiction over Megan's request for injunctive relief, which could lead to future restrictions on Milagro Gramz's conduct. For now, both sides are barred from seeking legal costs or attorney fees until any post-trial motions or appeals are resolved. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-milagro-gramz-gets-big-win-over-megan-thee-stallion-as-judge-slashes-damages/

El Chapo's Son Pleads Guilty & Admits To Kidnapping Plot

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 21:00 GMT

Joaquin Guzman Lopez just dropped the biggest bombshell in cartel history, admitting in a Chicago courtroom that he kidnapped one of Mexico's most legendary drug lords to save his own skin. The 38-year-old son of notorious kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman pleaded guilty Monday to drug trafficking and continuing criminal enterprise charges, but the real shocker came when he confessed to orchestrating the kidnapping of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. This wasn't just any snatch-and-grab - this was the move that brought down the 76-year-old co-founder of the Sinaloa cartel. Prosecutor Lynn Erskine laid out the details in court, explaining how Guzman Lopez lured Zambada onto a plane in July under false pretenses, then flew straight to Texas, where federal agents were waiting. The operation was designed to show cooperation with U.S. authorities - basically trading the biggest fish in the ocean for a lighter sentence. Watch Video on YouTube "The defendant admitted to kidnapping an unnamed individual purported to be Zambada," Erskine told the packed courtroom, according to Reuters. The prosecutor made it clear this wasn't some rogue operation - it was a calculated move by someone desperate to cut a deal. The plea agreement could slash Guzman Lopez's potential life sentence down to something much more manageable. He's looking at a minimum of 10 years, but with cooperation credit, he might walk out way even earlier. That's a hell of a trade-off for someone who admitted to moving tens of thousands of kilograms of cocaine, heroin and fentanyl into the United States. This whole saga reads like a movie, which is probably why Hip-Hop has been obsessed with El Chapo's story for years. 50 Cent turned the cartel world into must-listen content with his "Surviving El Chapo" podcast, diving deep into the story of the Flores twins - Pedro and Margarito - who helped bring down the original El Chapo. His podcast explored how the Chicago-born twins went from dealing $2 billion worth of drugs to becoming government informants who secretly recorded conversations with El Chapo himself. Listen on Spotify 50 Cent even revealed he once met the Flores twins at Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing project when he was an up-and-coming star, long before they got involved with international drug trafficking. But Guzman Lopez's story is different. While the Flores twins flipped to avoid massive sentences, this kidnapping plot represents something unprecedented - a cartel heir literally delivering his father's former partner to federal authorities. Zambada had been a fugitive for decades, co-founding the Sinaloa cartel alongside El Chapo and building one of the most powerful drug empires in history. Guzman Lopez has been in custody since that dramatic July arrest in Texas and his cooperation could provide federal authorities with inside information about current cartel operations. His brother Ovidio was also arrested and extradited to the U.S., meaning the new generation of "Chapitos" is either behind bars or cutting deals. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/el-chapos-son-pleads-guilty-admits-to-kidnapping-plot/

Diddy Stared Him Down & Sharay "Punisher" Hayes Fearfully Told His Truth

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 20:30 GMT

Sharay "Punisher" Hayes is not a celebrity, a politician, or a power broker. He was, however, a sex worker who had lived in the margins of Sean "Diddy" Combs' private world. This existence was a world most people only speculated about. A light exposed - in court - what was once in the dark. The United States vs. Sean Combs was one of the biggest courtroom dramas the music industry has ever seen. Hayes stepped into the spotlight largely unexpectedly and unwillingly. As one of the figures who spent intimate time with Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie, he was a cornerstone in the case against the mogul. But what he revealed was not what the prosecution expected. In one of the most candid and emotionally charged conversations to emerge from the Sean "Diddy" Combs saga, Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur and DJ Thoro sit down with "The Punisher," who reshaped public perception of the case. Known publicly as an escort, Hayes opens up about the scrutiny he faced, the mental toll of testifying before Diddy, and the complicated reality he fell into. What follows is an unfiltered conversation about fear, survival, pressure, and the justice system. Moreover, how Hayes turned his unexpected lemons into lemonade is almost a miracle. Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: Your new book In Search of Freezer Meat is out now. What's the website? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: FreezerMeatEd.com. THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING EXPOSED Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: People know you as one of the prosecution's witnesses in the Sean "Diddy" Combs case in New York. We first met outside the courthouse where you were being interviewed by everyone. Now that the dust has settled a bit - how are you feeling? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: I'm good, man. Everything was a whirlwind. It put me in a depression I didn't even realize at first. It's heavy being introduced to the world as a male prostitute. Even if things went on behind closed doors, that's private. When it becomes public, your mind goes straight to damage control. Now I'm just trying to figure out: if you Google my name and that's what comes up, how do you salvage that? How do people see you now? What limits does it put on your life? What benefits? I'm still figuring it out. Watch Video on YouTube Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: I saw people advocating for you...advocating for sex workers. And trying to de-stigmatize it. Did that feel real? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: Some of it. There's always going to be advocates, but we live in a negative world. Negative voices are louder. This is uncharted territory for me. Even before the trial, I was trying to pivot into men's health and positive content. I'm still kicking the tires on that. WHY HE TESTIFIED DJ Thoro: For people who might be naive to the situation - why did you take the stand? Were you subpoenaed? Forced? Was it voluntary? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: I didn't let it get to the subpoena point. They kept it quiet that they were going to use me. People talk tough like the mob movies - "If the Feds call, I'm not saying anything." My man... when they knock? It's different. They told me, "Don't give us a hard time. You didn't do anything wrong. You're not at risk of jail. Just be honest." So I cooperated. I didn't want to p### them off. FACING DIDDY IN COURT Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: How did it feel being in front of Diddy in that courtroom? Being looked at by him and everyone else? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: Terrifying. I didn't expect that at all. When I walked in, I was shook - trembling. Courtrooms are built to intimidate on purpose. This ain't Judge Judy. It's big, overbearing, full of tension. And walking in past his family... you feel those eyeballs. It was intimidating. DJ Thoro: Did you feel like your life was at risk for cooperating? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: That's why I wanted to testify - to get it over with. What I had to say might've been embarrassing, but it wasn't throwing him under the bus because I didn't see what they were alleging. I asked a retired FBI agent friend, "Could testifying put me in danger?" He said, "Absolutely." I felt safer after testifying. But leading up to it? I was shook. The way the Feds picked me up...two agents in a car... felt like a sniper could take me out. HOW WITNESSES ARE TREATED Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: Did they give you any amenities? Hotel, car, anything? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: No. They treat you like trash. Everything's on their time. They take your phone, put you in a room with no TV, no nothing. You sit for hours with an agent at the door. It felt like testifying against a mafia boss. I thought I was going into witness protection. DJ Thoro: Were they disappointed with the result? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: I assume so. They didn't say a single word to me afterward. It was like I was never involved. LEANING TOWARD DIDDY OR CASSIE? Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: Did you feel compelled to lean toward Diddy? Toward Cassie? Did anything you learned influence you? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: Not really. I've been telling these details for a decade. Facts are facts. I wasn't going to change what I saw. The only thing that threw me off was the first guy who testified. I knew of him. His story changed based on emotion and outside stuff. People who knew him said his private stories didn't match what he said on the stand. That felt off. THE BOOK + SUBPOENA Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: Your book chronicles some of your experience. Did they read it? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: It came out days before I testified. Prosecutors kept telling me not to publish it because 200 pages gives the defense 200 pages to dissect. But once the defense subpoenaed it, I rushed to publish so it had copyright protection. Otherwise it would be public record. CASSIE, COERCION, AND SENTENCING Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: You seemed to feel Cassie might've been more involved than testified. True? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: I look at everything intellectually. At sentencing, the judge gave [Diddy] time based on coercion, but he was acquitted of anything involving force, fraud, or coercion. So how do you beat the charge but get sentenced for it? That's not about Diddy. That's a system issue. What's the point of a jury if the judge can override them? DJ Thoro: Is that what the appeal is based on? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: Yes. Exactly. The judge gave a sentence that wasn't too high or low so the appeals court might let it stand. WHAT IF HE SAW DIDDY TODAY? Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: If you ran into Diddy five years from now, how would that go? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: Honestly, I'd say, "My bad for the embarrassment - some of it was out of my control." I repeated the story on talk shows, so I feel some guilt. But I'd expect a handshake and a hug. My testimony is said to be the reason he was acquitted of the sex trafficking and RICO charges, charges with a minimum 15 years and asset forfeiture. If my testimony made the difference? I'd expect a pound. DJ Thoro: So basically he owes you a check? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: I didn't say that. But his own attorney said on Piers Morgan that my testimony helped him. All I did was tell the truth. WHAT ABOUT CASSIE? DJ Thoro: If you saw Cassie right now, what would you say? Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: Everything I said was the truth. I would never say what she claims she experienced wasn't real. But she hid it extremely well. No signs. After I testified, almost all the other sex workers hit me up - like forming some "escort Avengers." None of them saw anything that suggested she was forced. If she was going through something, she had a poker face. DISCOVERING DIDDY IN THE ROOM Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: You didn't even know for a long time that it was Diddy in the corner naked with a burka on. Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: For half the time...yeah. This went on two and a half years, and I didn't realize it was him until 15 months in. THE PRESSURE OF SEX WORK IN THAT SITUATION Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur: Just having someone else in the room - and then discovering it was Diddy - must've been daunting. Sharay "Punisher" Hayes: Yeah. Sex is supposed to be enjoyable, your vibe. Doing it under pressure is different. It's like a buzzer-beater free throw. But the money was good. Three days in a row, $2,000 a pop - $5,000 to $6,000 a weekend for three hours total. I wanted to keep the gig. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/features/diddy-stared-him-down-sharay-punisher-hayes-fearfully-told-his-truth/

EXCLUSIVE: Travis Scott Dramatically Escalates War In $100 Million Utopia Tour Stage Dispute

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 20:00 GMT

Travis Scott wants a federal judge in Los Angeles to hit a stage-building company with harsh penalties after a failed $100 million stage project for his Utopia-themed Circus Maximus tour turned into a legal mess. Scott and his touring company, XX Global, are asking Magistrate Judge Autumn D. Spaeth to either throw out Show Motion Engineering's legal defense entirely or impose strict evidence sanctions and an additional $15,225 in legal fees. They claim the Wyoming-based company ignored a September court order that had already fined them $10,825 and warned of more severe consequences if they continued stalling. Scott's legal team says they've been chasing basic documents since March 28, including emails about the stage and a decade's worth of financial records. After a one-month extension, Show Motion allegedly went quiet until Scott's side filed a motion to compel. The company then submitted late responses without any actual documents. Judge Rosalyn Rosenbluth ordered Show Motion to comply by October 27, including turning over "all documents responsive" to the requests and paying the original $10,825 fine. But according to Travis Scott's attorneys, the company submitted only a three-page revenue summary, a single tax document for one year and no supporting materials, such as invoices or bank statements. "Enough is enough," the motion states, urging the court to strike the company's answer and enter a default judgment. If the judge won't go that far, Travis Scott wants the court to treat certain facts as proven, including that Show Motion never had permission to use his name or likeness in marketing or display his Utopia set designs. Watch Video on YouTube These issues are central to Scott's original lawsuit, which was first reported by AllHipHop. Travis Scott says he paid more than $1.5 million for a custom stage for the 2023 launch of the Circus Maximus tour. The agreement required Show Motion to fully assemble the set at its Wyoming facility for inspection before final payment. According to court records, the company never completed the build and refused to release the set when Scott's team withheld more funds due to missed deadlines. The massive stage was ultimately unusable as the tour began. Despite the courtroom battle, Scott's Circus Maximus World Tour ended on a high note. According to Billboard Boxscore, the tour grossed around $265 million across 85 shows, drawing more than 2.1 million attendees across six continents. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/travis-scott-escalates-100-million-war-over-utopia-stage/

Diddy Held Freak-Offs To "Celebrate" Notorious B.I.G.'s Death

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 19:02 GMT

Diddy allegedly orchestrated annual sex-fueled gatherings on the anniversary of The Notorious B.I.G.'s death, according to disturbing claims made by former escort Clayton Howard, who says he was trafficked for years by the Hip-Hop mogul and singer Cassie. One of the most unsettling details in Sean Combs: The Reckoning is Howard's claim that these sessions were scheduled every March 9, the day Biggie was murdered in 1997. "Every March 9, the day Biggie got murdered, they would fly me to wherever they were," Howard said in the documentary. "I would hang out, drink and party with them for three or four days while I had sex with Casandra. I don't know if that was his release for that day or whatever, but they always called me on March 9." Among the most bizarre accusations is one involving bodily fluid collection. Howard said he was stunned when the couple allegedly saved his semen in a cup for a year. "The weirdest thing was they used to physically collect my semen in a cup," he claimed. "They collected my semen for, like, a year...he told me, 'I like to see her play with it and drink it.'" Howard is suing Diddy and Ventura for recruiting him for so-called "freak-offs" that allegedly involved drugs, coercion and repeated sexual abuse. The lawsuit, filed in New York, outlines years of alleged abuse beginning around 2009. Watch Video on YouTube Howard claims he was trafficked for sex and used as "entertainment" at private encounters involving both Combs and Ventura. He also alleges he was pressured into taking ecstasy and subjected to degrading acts, some of which Ventura allegedly directed. Howard also alleges that Ventura had unprotected sex with him, became pregnant, and later had an abortion without informing him. He claims she continued to have unprotected sex with him afterward. The lawsuit further alleges she knowingly transmitted a sexually transmitted disease to him. While Howard has said in interviews that he believes it was chlamydia, court filings reportedly identify the STD as herpes. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/diddy-held-freak-offs-to-celebrate-notorious-b-i-g-s-death/

Diddy Reportedly Made Fatal Flaw & 50 Cent Capitalized

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 18:30 GMT

Diddy already feels like the storm at the center of Hip-Hop's wildest era, but Diddy and 50 Cent together is crazy work. This whole saga is binge-ready, and that includes the rumors. Diddy's camp puffed up pretty nice in the headlines, but the rumors tell another story, which may be truth or falsehoods. Let us unpack it. The first major tell is Netflix itself, who just released Sean Combs: The Reckoning. That company does not play when it comes to "legal." They're not stumbling into lawsuits like amateurs with cameras. So when Diddy's camp popped out with "unauthorized for release" statements, my mind instantly said, "NAH." The quiet talk in legal circles is way simpler. Word is Diddy allegedly didn't pay a videographer, which violated their agreement. Once that breach happened, the creator of the footage had free rein to shop the material to whoever had the fattest check. And you already know that would be 50 Cent. Watch Video on YouTube When 50 Cent first announced he was working on a Diddy doc, I assumed it would be his usual remix of interviews and commentary from people who used to orbit Bad Boy. But now that folks we see this insider footage turns it into something else. Even wilder is the list of people who sat down for real interviews. Erick Sermon from EPMD being part of this is a Black Rob song..."whoa." I will not spoil it, but E Double adds some nice color to the picture. What we won't see are Diddy's closest friends lining up to defend him. BUT...they do have some of that insider footage showing him and his friends. Also, they said it was a "hit piece," but I do not see that is the case at all. All of this is rooted in what I have seen with my own eyes. I don't think they want accusations of bias destroying their rollout. The real value here is the timing. This is right before everything fell apart and, unlike other documentaries, right after the conviction. That window is rare! Sheesh. Truth is, this might be the only doc that finally reveals what the public never got to see. Grab your popcorn, put the phone down and lock in. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/diddy-reportedly-made-fatal-flaw-50-cent-capitalized/

Diddy Slapped His Mom & Called Her Out Of Her Name, According To Netflix Doc

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 18:03 GMT

Diddy sent sexually explicit emails and images to Aubrey O'Day while filming Making the Band, and once beat up his own mother, according to explosive allegations in Netflix's Sean Combs: The Reckoning documentary that premiered Tuesday (December 2). Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes alleged that Diddy once became physical with his mother, Janice, following the 1991 City College tragedy that killed nine people. "I saw him put his hands on her, call her b#### and slapped her," Burrowes claimed. The four-part series, executive produced by rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, also features Aubrey O'Day reading aloud from a March 23, 2008, email allegedly sent by the Bad Boy Records founder. "I don't want to just f### you, I want to turn you out," O'Day recited from the message. "I can see you being with some m########### that you tell what to do. I make my woman do what I tell her to do, and she loves it. I just want and like to do things different. I'ma finish watching this p### and finish masturbating. I'll think of you. If you change your mind and get ready to do what I say, hit me." The email concluded with Diddy's standard signature: "God bless. Diddy. God is the Greatest." O'Day, a former member of Danity Kane, stated that she repeatedly rejected Diddy's advances and believes her refusal led to her dismissal from the group. "I absolutely felt that I was fired for not participating sexually," she said in the documentary. The singer revealed learning within the past two years about an affidavit from a woman claiming to have witnessed an incapacitated O'Day being sexually assaulted by Diddy and another man in 2005. "I don't even know if I was raped," O'Day said, adding she has no memory of the alleged incident. "And I don't want to know." Watch Video on YouTube Directed by Alexandria Stapleton, the documentary includes never-before-seen footage of Diddy in the six days before his September arrest on federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. The series shows the disgraced mogul strategizing with lawyers and family members to control the public narrative. Two jurors from Diddy's recent criminal trial explained their decision to acquit him of sex trafficking charges involving Ventura, despite acknowledging evidence of domestic violence. The 55-year-old music mogul was sentenced to 50 months in prison after being found guilty of transportation for prostitution charges. Diddy's representatives have denounced the documentary as a "shameful hit piece" using "stolen" material never authorized for release. Netflix has not responded to requests for comment regarding the allegations. The series also features interviews with former Bad Boy artist Mark Curry, Diddy-Dirty Money member Kalenna Harper and former staffer Capricorn Clark, among others. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/diddy-slapped-his-own-mom-called-her-out-of-her-name-according-to-netflix-doc/

Hit-Boy Confirms Pain, Makes Huge Statement About Father

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 17:30 GMT

Hit-Boy. Hit-Boy just gave Hip-Hop one of those reflective moments you don't see often, and it hit with equal parts beauty and heartbreak. The super-producer has been on a monster creative run this year, dropping multiple projects and flexing that rare dual talent that lets him rhyme and craft beats at a high level. His joint project with The Alchemist reminded everyone why these two are held in such high regard. Two producer-rappers going bar for bar over their own beats is a rarity. READ ALSO: Hit-Boy & N3on Host Epic Two-Day Music Camp-Crank Out 17 Songs But this story isn't about music at all. It's about family...about pain. It's about that heavy emotional baggage that no Grammy can erase. Sometime last year, Hit-Boy's father, Big Hit, returned to prison. For a brief moment, the elder rapper had momentum. Hit-Boy had given him the full blessing and support, helping him transition out of incarceration, get stable and even build a promising music career. Then everything unraveled. Something happened behind the scenes and Big Hit choose incarceration over fighting for his own freedom. Watch Video on YouTube That choice crushed Hit-Boy. You could feel the disappointment sitting on him like weight in interviews and social posts. It wasn't anger. It was the kind of hurt that comes from decades of hope and generational trauma. This week Hit-Boy posted a Reel on Instagram that stopped folks like me. The message was simple but powerful. "I forgive you, Pops." No theatrics. No dramatic soundtrack. Just truth. And that truth was heavy. Forgiveness is not a signal that everything is fine. It's the acknowledgement that carrying resentment eats you alive faster than the person you're mad at. View this post on Instagram For a second, some of us thought the post meant Big Hit was home. But it doesn't appear that way. It reads more like Hit-Boy freeing himself. Choosing peace over emotional chaos. Stepping into the new year without the burden he's dragged behind him. Maybe that means taking his son to visit Big Hit. Maybe it means he'll pull up himself. Or maybe it just means he's letting go internally and healing in private. Either way, it's good to see a man confront his own emotional truth and speak it out loud. Hip-Hop needs more of that. We've mastered bravado. We celebrate the wins. But acknowledging the wounds? That part still scares the culture. Hit-Boy just gave us a blueprint, whether he meant to or not. Damn. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/opinion/hit-boy-confirms-pain-makes-huge-statement-about-father/

Jada Pinkett Smith Accused Of Threatening To Kill Will Smith's Best Friend

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 16:02 GMT

Jada Pinkett Smith is facing a $3 million lawsuit from Bilaal Salaam, a longtime associate of Will Smith, who claims she threatened him at a private birthday event and later tried to sabotage his life and career. The complaint, filed in California, accuses Pinkett Smith of confronting Salaam at a movie theater in September 2021 during her husband's birthday celebration. According to the filing, she arrived with a group of about seven people and allegedly issued a chilling ultimatum. "While in the lobby, Jada Pinkett Smith approached Plaintiff with approximately seven members of her entourage, became verbally aggressive, and threatened Plaintiff by stating that if he continued 'telling her personal business,' he would 'end up missing or catch a bullet,' and demanded he sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) 'or else,'" the lawsuit states, as reported by Page Six. Salaam, who claims to have been close to Will Smith for nearly four decades, says the confrontation didn't end there. One of Pinkett Smith's associates allegedly followed him to his car while continuing to issue verbal threats. The legal filing also details what Salaam describes as a campaign of retaliation. He says Pinkett Smith and her team turned against him after he declined to assist with crisis management following the infamous Oscars incident in March 2022, when Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on live television. Watch Video on YouTube "Plaintiff refused to perform tasks he believed were illegal, unethical, or morally compromising, stating his conscience would not allow him to be involved in any cover-up or deceptive PR campaign," the lawsuit continues. Salaam further claims that after he began working on a "whistleblower memoir" and gave a 2023 interview that included personal claims about Will Smith's private life, the threats escalated. Pinkett Smith publicly told TMZ she would take legal action against Salaam over the interview's content. However, the lawsuit alleges, "Defendant never filed a lawsuit. The statement was false, reckless, and made with malicious intent to manipulate public opinion and damage Plaintiff's character." Salaam's legal team says he has suffered significant harm, including financial loss, emotional distress and damage to his health, reputation and livelihood. He is seeking $3 million in damages. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/jada-pinkett-smith-accused-of-threatening-to-kill-will-smiths-best-friend/

The Game Defends Diddy As 50 Cent Cashes In With Netflix Doc

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 15:03 GMT

The Game grabbed the mic at his Hollywood birthday bash Friday night and delivered some eyebrow-raising commentary that's got people talking. The Compton rapper went full activist mode, calling for the freedom of two of Hip-Hop's most controversial figures currently behind bars: Diddy and R. Kelly. Video footage obtained by TMZ shows The Game making light of the "baby oil and urination aspects" of both men's legal troubles before declaring "Free all the freaky homies!" as R. Kelly's music started playing in the background. Here's where it gets interesting, though - and pretty damn ironic when you think about it. Diddy is currently serving four years in prison at Fort Dix after being convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. R. Kelly, meanwhile, is serving what amounts to a life sentence - 30 years total between his federal convictions for racketeering and sex trafficking in New York and child pornography charges in Chicago. The disgraced R&B legend won't see freedom until 2045, when he's 79, assuming he lives that long. But here's the real kicker that makes The Game's "free the homies" campaign so wild - his decades-long beef with 50 Cent is still very much alive, and Diddy just happens to be executive producing a Netflix documentary about Diddy's downfall. That feud goes way back to 2005 when The Game was still part of G-Unit. Their relationship imploded when Game refused to get involved in 50's various beefs during a radio interview, saying he wouldn't participate in the drama. 50 Cent took that as disloyalty and kicked him out of the group, leading to years of back-and-forth diss tracks, public confrontations and social media warfare that continues to this day. The timing couldn't be more perfect for 50 Cent, who's been trolling Diddy for years and now has a documentary platform to air out their dirty laundry. "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" drops on Netflix today and Diddy's team is already fighting back hard. Just yesterday, Diddy's representatives blasted the documentary as a "shameful hit piece" and accused Netflix and 50 Cent of using "stolen footage that was never authorized for release." They're calling it "unfair and illegal" and have sent cease-and-desist letters trying to stop the release. So while The Game is out here advocating for Diddy's freedom, his longtime rival 50 Cent is literally profiting off documenting Diddy's alleged crimes.

Cardi B's Fearful Whisper Has Her Mom Giving Deebo Vibes

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 14:30 GMT

Cardi B causes laughter with her whisper. The Big BX rapper set the Internet ablaze by sounding like she was low-key scared of her own mom. Yes, Cardi and fear in the same sentence. That's where we are today. This moment unfolded right before Thanksgiving, after she had her baby, when she popped up online talking about her mom's old-school menu. According to Cardi, Mama B was determined to keep her locked into that time-tested, no-nonsense food lineup. Meanwhile, Cardi just wanted junk food. READ ALSO: Megan Thee Stallion Makes Eyes Pop By Flaunting Curves In Cardi B-Inspired TikTok Video But instead of saying it loud like she usually does, she whispered it like somebody was stomping around the hallway in Timberlands. That was the part that had everyone hollering. It was like Deebo walking by! The funny part is the deeper meaning behind it. Folks who really paid attention could see the play. Cardi's mom is protecting the bag. She's making sure her daughter snaps back properly, I think. She's making sure that upcoming tour goes smoothly because the people need Cardi at her full power. When one family member is the golden ticket, the whole tribe moves different. Mom clearly understood the assignment. You know, this is my uninitiated opinion, not facts. And the Internet agreed! View this post on Instagram People ran that clip back over and over again because Cardi unintentionally created sitcom-level comedy in 10 seconds. It's going viral all over again a week later, proving she's top-tier when it comes to natural entertainment. She doesn't even try. The culture just eats it up. Honestly, this whole situation feels like a TV pilot and Cardi is already gold. Add her mom in the mix and the ratings would be crazy. Imagine a whole series of Cardi trying to sneak snacks...while her mom blocks her every move. People love her...even when she's scared to raise her voice with her own mom around. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/cardi-bs-fearful-whisper-has-her-mom-giving-deebo-vibes/

Rapper MBnel Terrified, In Hiding After Stockton Birthday Party Shooting Kills 3 Kids

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 13:02 GMT

MBnel wasn't supposed to be there that long. The rapper had driven back to Stockton just to drop off a birthday gift for his friend's 2-year-old daughter, but what started as a quick visit to the Monkey Space banquet hall turned into the kind of nightmare that's been haunting him for years. Now he's hiding somewhere outside Sacramento, wounded and scared as hell, while his father, Junior Dongon, tries to make sense of how a little girl's birthday party became a massacre that left three children and one young adult dead. "He just came to drop off a present at his friend's party, whose daughter was the celebrant," Junior Dongon told The New York Post, his voice heavy with the weight of what happened Saturday evening. "He was shot, but he is OK. ... He called me and said, 'Don't say anything to anybody." The shooting at the Stockton venue wasn't random; authorities are calling it gang-related, and MBnel appears to have been one of the primary targets along with another rapper, Fly Boy Doughy. Watch Video on YouTube Fifteen people got hit when gunmen opened fire during what should've been a celebration, turning a child's special day into something no family should ever experience. For MBnel, this was exactly the kind of violence he'd been trying to escape. He'd already moved out of Stockton two years ago because the streets had gotten too hot. His father said when things got really bad, after rival crews "shot 22 bullets" at their family home, making it clear that staying in the city wasn't safe for anyone connected to the rapper. But Saturday night proved that distance doesn't always equal safety. MBnel came back for what he thought would be a quick family moment, and instead found himself caught in the crossfire of whatever beef had followed him from his old neighborhood. Now the rapper's family is dealing with the aftermath of an attack that didn't just target MBnel, but took the lives of innocent children who were just there to celebrate. Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi labeled the violence an "act of terrorism." The investigation is still ongoing, with authorities examining surveillance footage and witness testimonies, but no arrests have been made yet. For MBnel and his family, that means the threat is still out there, which explains why he's staying hidden and why his father is being so careful about what he says publicly.

Diddy & Netflix Might Squabble Legally Over New Docu-Series

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 11:55 GMT

50 Cent is stirring up cultural terror and Netflix is right in the middle of it. Oh this is a doozie! The rapper-turned-media boss has a new four-part docuseries on deck and the project is already causing serious friction. As you probably saw in the trailer, it has serious insider (private) footage of Diddy. Diddy and his team claim this was never cleared for the world to see. Hip-Hop and Hollywood collide! READ ALSO: 50 Cent's Netflix Docu-Series Presents Diddy Expos Sean Combs: The Reckoning, the series in question, is set to dig into the mogul's life with material that was apparently captured during his last free days in September 2024. According to The New York Times, the clips come from hotel conversations and outings he believed were being filmed for his own future project. These weren't staged confessionals or larger-than-life party moments. These were the quiet times. The stuff that is usually protected by teams, lawyers and tight-lipped videographers. Hmmmmm... A spokesperson for Diddy delivered a pointed response, coming out strong against the footage's inclusion. The statement blasted the clips as "unauthorized for release" and framed them as "private moments, pre-indictment material from an unfinished project, and conversations involving legal strategy." That is serious. Remember - Diddy has a case with NBC over their documentary. Read about that here. Diddy's team made it clear that nothing came from Diddy, his circle or anyone working on his side. Now his camp wants answers about how Netflix got its hands on the material and why it's being allowed to live inside this production. I am thinking they know, but that is another story. On the other side of the equation, 50 Cent is not folding. I think they are smart enough to know they cannot use what they cannot legally use. He and director Alexandria Stapleton have defended the footage as necessary to tell the broader story they are aiming to tell. Their goal, they say, is to explore decades of allegations and the ecosystem surrounding one of Hip-Hop's most complicated figures. If you know 50, then you know he's not backing down from anything that he believes belongs in the narrative. Netflix has remained quiet so far. They are not revealing how questionable material found its way into the series. With the premiere set for December 2..we are about to binge tf out of this one. I do not see a delay in sight Right now, all we know is the temperature is rising. Shout out to LL aka Loren Lorosa for all the goodies.

2 Chainz Proves Family Biz Runs Deep With Son Halo & The "12 Days Of Saucemas"

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 11:00 GMT

2 Chainz just turned the holiday season into his own personal Christmas special and honestly, we're here for every minute of it.

The man stays connected to his community and now he's bringing that same energy to making sure folks can get their chicken-finger fix without breaking the bank during the holidays. "We love our loyal Zaxbys guests, and in the season of giving, it only felt right to celebrate Saucemas with the gift of our fan-favorite menu items," said Patrick Schwing, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer at Zaxby's. "And since there's no place like home for the holidays, we teamed up with fellow Georgia natives 2 Chainz and Halo to help us ensure fans have visions of Fingerz dancing in their heads for all 12 Days of Saucemas."

Chloe Bailey's Blurry Night Produces Best Pics In Revealing Black Dress

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 08:00 GMT

Chloe Bailey walked into the night looking like trouble and walked out with the kind of photos that make people forget how to breathe. Her caption said it all, "yknow you had a great night when your photos and videos came out blurry" - but the pics themselves were anything but unclear about her intentions. The images show Chloe stretched out in a dimly lit lounge, the kind of spot where velvet seats, low ceilings and flickering candles make everyone look a little more mysterious. She posted up against the curved wood paneling, raising one arm above her head as if she owned the room. The cutouts on her black dress did the rest. The dress is basically a cheat code. One sleeve, one shoulder exposed, a chest cutout running across the top, and a dramatic open design that leaves her entire waist on display. The fabric curves around her body like it was sculpted on, dipping low across her hips and pulling tight across her legs. Every angle hits. View this post on Instagram In one shot, she reclines with her arm behind her head, giving a quiet smirk that says she knows exactly what she's doing. The lighting skims across her stomach and the dramatic open-side design, showing off every line of her torso. Each photo plays with that same contrast - soft shadows, glowing skin, dark dress, bright face. Another image captures her twisting slightly toward the camera, body curved, hip popped, the open back of her dress filling the frame. Her makeup stays flawless, her braids fall perfectly, and the whole vibe says "accidentally perfect night," even though nothing about this looks accidental. The last pic is the one that'll get bookmarked the most. Chloe bends forward, looking back over her shoulder with a kissy face, the dress's open design exposing enough to leave the entire internet malfunctioning. It's playful, bold, a little wicked - precisely the kind of shot that turns a regular night out into a moment. Chloe said the photos came out blurry, but the message didn't. She stepped out in a dress carved out like art, hit every pose in the book, and somehow made the blur part of the charm. It's a thirst trap masquerading as a casual photo dump. Chloe Bailey didn't just have a great night; she made sure everyone else would be thinking about it long after she left the club. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/chloe-baileys-blurry-night-produces-best-pics-in-revealing-black-dress/

50 Cent's G-Unit Empire Devours Another Shreveport Property In $2.4M Spree

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 04:01 GMT

50 Cent is making moves that would make any real estate mogul jealous, and his latest target sits right in the heart of downtown Shreveport. The Hip-Hop legend just locked down another piece of Louisiana real estate with the M.L. Bath building at 610 Market Street now under contract to join his growing G-Unit empire. This ain't just another property flip for Fif - it's part of a calculated takeover that's seen his G-Unit Films & Television Inc. drop nearly $2.4 million in cash on downtown Shreveport properties since May 2024. When this M.L. Bath deal closes, Fif will own 13 properties in the downtown district, turning what was once a struggling Louisiana city into his personal entertainment playground. The 1921-built M.L. Bath building was originally marketed as potential apartments, but 50 Cent has bigger plans brewing. State Rep. Steven Jackson (no relation) explained just how serious Curtis is about this Shreveport transformation. Watch Video on YouTube "They are on a very intense and accelerated timeline to do a lot of projects," Jackson said. "There are several projects that are in the works." But here's where it gets really interesting. 50 Cent isn't just buying buildings to flip them. He's building a legitimate entertainment hub that could rival what's happening in Atlanta or New York. The centerpiece of his vision is the "G-Dome," a permanent multi-purpose event arena modeled after the Sphere in Las Vegas. New G-Unit signage is already surrounding the construction site, and the groundwork is moving fast. "Some of these properties may serve as a set for TV or film, but they also can be used for everyday businesses, whether it's coffee, pizza, a club or restaurants," 50 Cent told KTBS. "The goal, I think, is to probably replicate what we've seen they're doing in Hollywood." The G-Dome site itself tells a story of transformation; it was a meatpacking facility in the 1920s. Fif's team had to handle extensive safety work, including removing underground tanks and dealing with contamination issues. But that's all behind them now, with the land cleared and ready for development. What's driving 50 Cent to Shreveport isn't just cheap real estate - it's Louisiana's film industry tax incentives, which significantly lower production costs compared to traditional entertainment hubs. The state's infrastructure was already in place, which caught his attention when he was scouting locations for G-Unit Studios. In April 2025, 50 Cent's G-Unit Films secured a 30-year lease on a former soundstage for just $2,400, with an option to renew. The Shreveport City Council approved that deal 7-0, showing how much local government wants to keep Jackson's investment flowing. He already has concrete projects lined up for 2026, including two reality series, one episodic series, and possibly a feature film. He's also developing Paid in Full into a premium television series after buying the rights to the classic movie. This Shreveport expansion represents more than just business for 50 Cent; it's about creating opportunities in a city that's been struggling economically. His estimated $50 million personal investment in downtown properties and development is breathing new life into an area that desperately needed it. The M.L. Bath building acquisition shows 50 Cent isn't slowing down anytime soon. With 13 properties and counting, plus the G-Dome project moving forward, Shreveport is quickly becoming the unexpected new frontier of his entertainment empire. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/50-cents-g-unit-empire-devours-another-shreveport-property-in-2-4m-spree/

Toosii Commits To Syracuse Football After Pausing Rap Career

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 03:00 GMT

Toosii made headlines Monday (December 1) by announcing his commitment to play Division I football at Syracuse University, trading platinum records for playbooks in a move that stunned both the Hip-Hop and college football worlds. "When Coach Fran called, I knew it was a sign from God. So with that being said, Cuse I'm coming home," the 25-year-old rapper wrote on social media, referencing his childhood roots in Syracuse before relocating to North Carolina. The chart-topping artist behind "Favorite Song" and "Love Hurts" has been training relentlessly since August, sharing clips from workouts at football facilities across the country. While many assumed it was just offseason content, Toosii had been quietly plotting a return to the sport he left behind in high school. https://www.instagram.com/p/DRu-\_pBklNp/?hl=en&img\_index=1 Before his music career took off, Toosii played wide receiver at Rolesville High School in North Carolina. Though he chose the mic over a helmet back then, football clearly never left his system. Over the past few months, he visited programs at Maryland, Duke and Sacramento State before deciding to return to his hometown roots in central New York. Syracuse, coming off a dismal 3-9 season and a string of eight straight losses, is in desperate need of fresh energy. The Orange were hit hard when starting quarterback Steve Angeli suffered a torn Achilles in Week 4, leaving Coach Fran Brown's squad scrambling for answers. Toosii's arrival could offer a spark-on the field and in recruiting circles. With full eligibility and a high-profile name, Toosii could contribute immediately if he earns his spot. His social media presence, 4.5 million followers on Instagram and 1.4 million on X, adds a marketing boost the program hasn't seen in years. This isn't a gimmick. Toosii has walked away from a booming music career, where he commands nearly 3.9 million monthly listeners on Spotify, to chase a dream he put on pause. While it remains to be seen whether his skills on the field match his success in the studio, the buzz around his decision has already made Syracuse one of the most talked-about programs in the country. Toosii is expected to join the team ahead of the 2026 season.

View this post on Instagram Anderson has broadened Dior's ambassador roster to include a mix of unconventional talent such as Mikey Madison, Mia Goth, Greta Lee and Thai stars Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat.

Megan Thee Stallion: A Breakdown Of Damages In Dollars

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 01:00 GMT

Megan Thee Stallion won a $75,000 judgment in a Miami federal courtroom after a jury found blogger Milagro Gramz liable for defamation, emotional distress and distributing a digitally altered explicit video without the rapper's consent. The decision, delivered December 1 in the Southern District of Florida, capped off a contentious trial that scrutinized the boundaries of online commentary, particularly in Hip-Hop media. Jurors concluded that Gramz, a social media personality known for covering high-profile rap cases, deliberately spread false claims and harmful content about Megan Thee Stallion. The jury awarded $15,000 for defamation per se, $8,000 for intentional infliction of emotional distress and $50,000 for promoting an AI-generated pornographic video falsely depicting Megan. They also added $1,000 in punitive damages for each of the two claims, bringing the total to $75,000. The trial stemmed from Milagro Gramz's online activity during the Tory Lanez shooting case. She repeatedly accused Megan of lying under oath and pushed a manipulated video that falsely portrayed the rapper in a sexual act. The jury determined those actions were not only false but malicious. Watch Video on YouTube Megan testified that the online harassment led her to spend $240,000 on therapy. Her legal team argued that Gramz's campaign cost her significant business opportunities, including a potential deal with Google, and damaged her mental health and public image. Gramz's defense claimed her content was protected under the First Amendment and argued Megan failed to prove actual malice or measurable reputational damage. However, the jury rejected that defense after hearing evidence that Gramz deleted key WhatsApp and text messages, including alleged conversations with Tory Lanez and his father, both accused of helping fuel the online attacks. While the jury's verdict settles the damages, the judge must still resolve a procedural issue regarding whether Megan gave proper pre-suit notice of the defamation claim. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/megan-thee-stallion-a-breakdown-of-damages-in-dollars/

Latto's Alleged Hot Half-Sister Threatens To Expose Rapper

Latto's alleged sister and family friction just collided with the spotlight in a way nobody asked for but everybody is talking about. The bi-racial rapper has been cruising in her own lane for a while now, but you know what Biggie said: "Mo' Money, Mo Problems." That is the trade off. When you reach a certain level, the price tag includes a handful of relatives who suddenly have a lot to say. This time it is her half sister - or somebody claiming to be such. She said they share the same father and honestly look like they were copied and pasted. They look like twins. She has stepped into the mix and it feels more heated than helpful. According to her, Latto wants nothing to do with her. She claims she is clueless about the reason and says she is confused by the distance. You and I both know there is always a backstory and two sides. Here is the twist. She is saying she might expose her famous sibling. She even floated the idea of writing a book or doing a longform podcast to lay it all out. DAMN. That is not sisterly at all. That means she has a lot to say. Even though she repeatedly says she does not know the reason for the disconnect, she also suggests something pretty revealing. She says she is broke and hints that she is the broke half sibling that Latto would rather not acknowledge. That part feels incredibly familiar. Could this be a shake down? The energy feels off. There are ways to reach out with grace and love but that does not seem to be the path. If she wants to change her life, she might consider creating her own lane. She looks so much like Latto that she could probably walk into a label office and get a meeting. She should rap. There, I said it. She does not even need to be a lyricist. Writers exist and nobody really cares if you use ghost writers. People would love a wild sister versus sister storyline. Conflict sells. Do I want that for them? Not particularly. Would the public tune in? Absolutely. Right now this whole situation feels silly. Yes, she has been accused of clout chasing but that is the standard play when survival kicks in. People do what they feel they must. Times are wild. A lot of folks are struggling to figure out how to climb out of their circumstances and will do whatever they gotta do. I hope they sort it out privately but the internet is already ready with popcorn. View this post on Instagram By the way, Latto has seemingly denied all of this:

Diddy Blasts 50 Cent's "Illegal" Netflix Doc As A Shameful "Hit Piece"

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 23:00 GMT

Diddy slammed 50 Cent and Netflix over a new documentary series that revisits the multiple allegations made against him, calling the project "illegal" and "unequivocally false" in a strongly worded statement. The four-part docuseries, titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning, was produced by 50 Cent's G-Unit Film & Television and debuts on Netflix tomorrow (December 2). The series will explore the numerous accusations made against Combs, including sexual assault and abuse claims, which have led to over 100 civil lawsuits and a federal investigation that landed the Bad Boy founder in the slammer for the next four years, at Fort Dix. A spokesperson for Combs issued a firm response to The Hollywood Reporter, stating, "Netflix's so-called 'documentary' is a shameful hit piece. Today's GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release. "As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work." Watch Video on YouTube The statement continued, "It is equally staggering that Netflix handed creative control to Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson - a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta who has spent too much time slandering Mr. Combs. Beyond the legal issues, this is a personal breach of trust. Mr. Combs has long respected Ted Sarandos and admired the legacy of [Sarandos' late father-in-law] Clarence Avant. For Netflix to give his life story to someone who has publicly attacked him for decades feels like an unnecessary and deeply personal affront." Earlier today, 50 Cent went on Good Morning America to discuss his reasoning for producing Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The G-Unit boss denied it was personal. According to Fif, the imprisoned mogul was giving Hip-Hop a bad name and to top it all off, no one was speaking out against Diddy, which is why he produced the documentary. "If I didn't say anything, you would have you would interpret it as Hip-Hop is fine with his behaviors," 50 said. "There's no one else being vocal. So you would look at it and say 'mind your business, or let me not say nothing,' it would allow the entire culture to register as if they're for that behavior." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/diddy-blasts-50-cents-illegal-netflix-doc-as-a-shameful-hit-piece/

Rapper MBNel Was Target Of Children's Birthday Party Massacre

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 21:00 GMT

MBNel revealed his whereabouts on social media shortly before a deadly ambush at a Stockton banquet hall that police now believe was a calculated attempt on his life and that of fellow rapper Fly Boy Doughy, leaving four people dead and ten others injured Friday night. The Filipino-American Hip-Hop artist, born in Stockton and known for his 2020 album Born To Win, was attending a child's birthday party when gunfire erupted around 9 P.M. on Lucile Avenue. The celebration, meant for a 6-year-old girl, turned into a massacre that claimed victims as young as 8 and as old as 30, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office. Authorities say the shooting was no random act. "This was a targeted act," Sheriff's Office spokesperson Heather Brent told reporters during a late-night press conference. Investigators believe multiple gunmen opened fire with the intent to kill MBNel and Fly Boy Doughy, both of whom were present at the party. As of Monday, no arrests had been made, and the shooters remain unidentified. Watch Video on YouTube The attack has reignited fears of gang-related violence in Stockton, a city long plagued by gun crime. Brent stated the shooting appears to be linked to local criminal groups, though she did not name any specific affiliations. Vice Mayor Christina Fugazi addressed the tragedy in a public statement, calling for urgent community intervention. "Our hearts are broken for the families. This senseless act must end, we need to protect our children," she said. MBNel, 28, has previously survived a similar attempt on his life. In September 2020, he was targeted in another shooting and later arrested during a gang-related investigation. Despite the past violence, his social media presence has primarily focused on family life, including the birth of his daughter in late 2019. The Stockton community has responded with grief and outrage. Local leaders are organizing vigils, while residents have taken to social media to demand action and accountability. The city, already grappling with a surge in gun violence, now faces renewed pressure to address the root causes of its ongoing crisis. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/rapper-mbnel-was-target-of-childrens-birthday-party-massacre/

Gunna Walks Off Stage Without Warning Leaving Virginia Beach Crowd Hanging

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 20:01 GMT

Gunna cut his Virginia Beach concert short Saturday night after turning up nearly an hour late, then walking off stage mid-performance without a word, leaving the crowd at The Dome stunned and unsure if the show was over. The Atlanta rapper, currently on his Wun World Tour in support of his latest album The Last Wun, performed for just 30 to 45 minutes before exiting the stage. There was no announcement, no farewell, and no encore. Just confusion. "i think the dome learned the hard way that EVERYONE standing at a concert is irrational, cs now all the events got seats on the floor & why tf it was a threat didnt yall let the attendees know?" one user said. Videos from the night show puzzled attendees standing around with the stage lights still on, many assuming the Grammy-nominated artist would return. He didn't. Some users said they planned to dispute the ticket charges, claiming the performance lasted only half an hour. Others on social media echoed similar frustrations, with some demanding refunds and questioning what went wrong. The Dome has not issued a statement about the shortened concert or whether attendees will be compensated. Gunna's team has also stayed silent, offering no explanation for the early exit. The Virginia Beach stop marks a rare misstep on what's otherwise been a smooth run for Gunna, who wrapped his Bittersweet Tour earlier this year with Flo Milli and recently extended his Wun World Tour through 2026. Despite the hiccup, Gunna's upcoming tour dates remain unchanged. But after Saturday's abrupt ending, some ticketholders are wondering if future shows will follow the same script. i hope gunna ok I just heard about what happened at the virginia beach show. i don't think he would've just did something like that if it wasn't a real reason. — rarity.

BREAKING: Megan Thee Stallion Wins Defamation Case Against Milagro Gramz

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 18:58 GMT

Megan Thee Stallion secured a major courtroom win in Miami, where a federal jury found blogger Milagro Gramz liable for defamation and harassment tied to AI-generated deepfake content and a prolonged online campaign allegedly connected to Tory Lanez. The jury has found Milagro defamed Megan Thee Stallion and intentionally inflicted emotional distress by coordinating with Tory Lanez and promoting the deep fake video at issue during the trial. Court reporter Meghann Cuniff explained that the jury found her liable on all three claims, but the defamation claim might still go away because Megan's lawyers forgot a simple rule: they were supposed to warn Milagro before suing her and they didn't. Cuniff added that the damages totaled $75,000, including punitive damages. The verdict, delivered after a week-long trial, marked a pivotal moment in the rapper's legal battle against digital misinformation and targeted harassment. Megan filed the lawsuit in October 2024, accusing Gramz of spreading a pornographic deepfake video and false narratives that damaged her reputation and mental health. Jurors heard emotional testimony from the Houston artist, who detailed the toll the harassment took on her career and well-being, describing how the smear campaign led to the loss of at least four music deals, each reportedly worth around $1 million. Meg also revealed she underwent a $240,000 therapy program to cope with the trauma. Watch Video on YouTube The case stems from the 2020 shooting incident in which Lanez was convicted of shooting Megan in the foot. He is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence. Prosecutors alleged that Gramz acted as a "paid surrogate" for Lanez, launching what they described as a "sustained campaign of harassment and cyberbullying" in the aftermath of his conviction. Milagro Gramz, who brands herself as a voice of urban culture, defended her actions on the stand, calling her content "a new form of journalism," but the nine jurors apparently disagreed. The case also tested Florida's recently enacted deepfake law, which allows individuals to pursue legal action over AI-manipulated images. The outcome could influence how courts handle similar disputes involving artificial intelligence and online defamation. The jury's ruling affirms Megan's claims that she was the target of a coordinated effort to harm her public image. With the liability phase concluded, jurors will now determine the amount of damages she is owed. Meg's fans were elated. One user said "@theestallion was very brave to do this. The question of whether 'bloggers' should be allowed to defame people should be challenged. Abuse of your platform should have consequences." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/megan-thee-stallion-wins-defamation-case-against-milagro-gramz/

Bomb Squad Called To Courthouse During Megan Thee Stallion Trial

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 18:48 GMT

Megan Thee Stallion and her defamation trial collided with a security scare Monday morning (December 1) when a suspicious package outside a Miami federal courthouse prompted a bomb squad response just as jurors prepared to resume deliberations. The incident unfolded around 8:18 A.M. near the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. U.S. Courthouse in downtown Miami, where law enforcement discovered a small orange package on the sidewalk. Miami police quickly shut down Northwest First Avenue between Third and Fifth streets while their bomb squad investigated the item. Despite the brief chaos, courthouse operations continued without evacuation. Miami police issued traffic warnings as the area was secured, but by mid-morning, the package was declared safe and streets were reopened, according to WSVN. Inside the building, jurors are weighing the claims in Megan Thee Stallion's high-profile lawsuit against blogger Milagro Cooper, known online as "Milagro Gramz." Watch Video on YouTube The Houston rapper accuses Gramz of spreading false narratives and sharing manipulated pornographic content using deepfake technology. The trial has drawn national attention not only because of Megan's celebrity status but also due to the broader legal questions it raises about online defamation and the misuse of AI-generated media. Jurors began deliberating before Thanksgiving and returned Monday to continue discussions after the holiday break. Megan's attorneys are seeking damages for what they describe as a calculated effort to harm her public image. Milagro Gramz, a Texas-based content creator with a sizable digital following, has denied the accusations and maintained her innocence throughout the proceedings. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/bomb-squad-called-to-courthouse-during-megan-thee-stallion-trial/

NFL Player Invokes YNW Melly To Celebrate Beating Former Team

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 18:01 GMT

E.J. Speed posted a photo of YNW Melly just minutes after the Houston Texans edged out the Indianapolis Colts 20-16, turning a personal victory into a public statement that raised more than a few eyebrows. The linebacker, who spent six seasons with Indianapolis before signing a one-year $5 million contract with Houston, uploaded the rapper's image to both Instagram and Twitter without any caption. But the message was loud and clear to those familiar with Melly's legal troubles: Speed was equating his performance against his former team to something far more sinister. Melly has been jailed since 2019 on first-degree murder charges for the deaths of two close friends and fellow artists, Anthony Williams (YNW Sakchaser) and Christopher Thomas Jr. (YNW Juvy). pic.twitter.com/u4pKXHVknA — EJ Speed (@EJ_SPEED) November 30, 2025 Prosecutors allege Melly and associate Cortlen Henry (YNW Bortlen) staged a drive-by shooting to cover up the killings, which occurred inside a Jeep in October 2018. The victims were shot in the head, torso and back. Melly's first trial ended in a mistrial in July 2023. A retrial is scheduled for January 2027. What made Speed's post even more unsettling was the accompanying audio. On his Instagram story, he played five lines from Melly's breakout track "Murder On My Mind," a song widely interpreted as a chilling depiction of betrayal and violence. The lyrics he chose included references to bloodstains, farewells and remorse, far from typical post-game celebration material. Speed's history with the Colts adds another layer to the situation. Drafted in the fifth round out of Tarleton State, the Fort Worth native climbed the ranks from special teams contributor to starting linebacker, logging a career-best 142 tackles in 2024. Watch Video on YouTube Despite his production, the Colts let him walk in free agency, a move that clearly didn't sit well with him. In Sunday's game, Speed recorded three tackles and helped Houston secure a narrow victory. But instead of posting highlights or locker room photos, he opted for a message that many interpreted as a digital jab at his former team, one laced with references to an unresolved double murder case. The reaction online has been mixed. Some praised the post as ruthless, while others questioned the judgment behind invoking such dark imagery. The Texans have not publicly addressed the post, and Speed has offered no explanation. The post remains live on both platforms as of this writing, continuing to stir debate over whether the linebacker crossed a line between competitive edge and poor taste. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/nfl-player-invokes-ynw-melly-to-celebrate-beating-former-team/

GloRilla Channels Michael Jackson During Bayou Classic

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 17:30 GMT

GloRilla lit up the Caesars Superdome with a high-energy halftime tribute to Michael Jackson and a nod to HBCU culture during the 2025 Bayou Classic. Big Glo turned the annual showdown between Grambling State University and Southern University into a celebration of Hip-Hop and legacy. The Memphis rapper took the spotlight in a black-and-gold military-style jacket reminiscent of Jackson's iconic look, delivering a visual homage that merged pop culture history with modern Southern swagger. Her setlist included her hits "TGIF" and "Let Her Cook," energizing the crowd with help from the Grambling State Tiger Marching Band and the Orchesis Dance Company. Watch Video on YouTube The halftime moment also doubled as a brand collaboration, with dancers outfitted in gear from her ongoing partnership with Adidas. GloRilla called the performance meaningful, saying the Bayou Classic is "a huge moment for HBCU culture" and adding she was honored to perform with Grambling State students. Off the field, GloRilla was also spotted courtside during a recent NBA game, cheering on Brandon Ingram, the Toronto Raptors forward rumored to be her boyfriend. She was seen celebrating after Ingram's game-winning shot against the Indiana Pacers, adding fuel to ongoing speculation about their relationship. While GloRilla's performance stole the halftime spotlight, the game itself delivered its own surprise. Southern University edged out Grambling State 28-27, snapping the Tigers' four-game winning streak in the rivalry and sending shock through the Superdome. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/glorilla-channels-michael-jackson-during-bayou-classic/

Cassidy is supposed to be battling Eazy The Block Captain this week, but the battle is taking place on IG right now! He's throwing haymaker! Eazy The Block Captain and a yearbook photo have the internet in a tizzy...all the way to Pottsville, Pennsylvania. OH MAN. This is wld and weird. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQVQZvZDtc5 Let's talk about it. Word is Cassidy got hold of Eazy's 2004 Pottsville High School yearbook picture and posted it.

This keeps going on and on and it feels like keeps keeps getting "worse." Outside of the jokes, there's a deeper conversation bubbling. Fans are now circling around the bigger question: If the high school years were Pottsville, when did "the block" start?

Donald Trump Crashes Out Over MRI Questions

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 17:01 GMT

Donald Trump brushed off a question about his recent MRI by insulting a female reporter's intelligence during a tense moment aboard Air Force One, continuing his pattern of targeting women journalists with personal remarks. The exchange unfolded Sunday when the unnamed reporter asked Trump what part of his body had been scanned. Rather than offer a straightforward answer, Trump pivoted to a personal dig. "I have no idea. It was just an MRI," Trump said. "It wasn't the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it. I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing." Watch Video on YouTube The moment added to a growing list of incidents in which Trump has verbally attacked female members of the press. Earlier this month, he referred to Bloomberg's Catherine Lucey as "quiet, piggy," a comment that drew widespread criticism. The MRI in question has become a point of political tension, with Democrats pressing for clarity on the president's health. On NBC's Meet the Press, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz questioned the situation, asking, "Has anyone in the history of the world ever had an MRI assigned to them and have no idea what it was for?" Trump responded by calling Walz "incompetent" and insisting his MRI results were "perfect." He also said he had no issue with making them public, stating, "If they want to release it, it's OK with me to release it." During the same flight, Trump also clashed with NewsNation's Libby Dean, turning his criticism toward the outlet itself. "Do you want to have it released, NewsNation? Failing, failing NewsNation. NewsNation is doing lousy, by the way," he said. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later told reporters the MRI was part of a "routine physical examination," but declined to specify what part of Trump's body was scanned or why it was ordered. Trump's remarks fit a broader pattern of hostility toward female reporters. In recent weeks, he called New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman "ugly, both inside and out" and asked another woman during a press gaggle, "Are you a stupid person?" White House spokesperson Taylor Rodgers defended Trump's behavior in a statement to Newsweek, saying, "This is the most accessible and transparent administration in history-full stop. The Biden administration hid the president of the United States from the press, covered up his mental decline, and lied to the media faces about it for years." Despite Trump's claim that he's okay with releasing the MRI results, the White House has not confirmed whether such a disclosure will occur. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/donald-trump-crashes-out-over-mri-questions/

'I can hear something in here': Texas woman buys HEB chicken broth. Then she pours it out

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 17:00 GMT

A Texas woman is stunned after pouring out a box of H-E-B chicken broth and finding something unusual-not to mention disgusting-inside. Here's what happened. TikTok creator Taya Janae (@tayajanae7) discovered something unusual and disgusting in her H-E-B-brand chicken broth. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges of food safety in mass-produced products, the evolving role of social media in consumer protection, and the cult status of the Texas-based grocer. "So, I'm cooking, y'all, and I went to go open this up," Taya Janae started. "It's the H-E-B-brand chicken broth, and it smelled a little weird. And I noticed black stuff on this, and I can hear something in here. So I'm about to open it up. Mind you, the date is 12/12/26. I just opened it, so I don't know what is going on." H-E-B Responds to Viral TikTok of Chicken Broth Box She found what appears to be mold or contamination inside an unopened H-E-B brand chicken broth container. After opening and pouring it into a bowl, she noticed the contents appeared extremely moldy. H-E-B became immediately aware of the issue through the viral TikTok video and responded directly to her on the platform. "The health and safety of our customers is our top priority and we are concerned to see this," they wrote. "Would you mind sending us a [direct message] with the UPC on the package and a good email address? We want to follow up with you." Viewers Weigh in on H-E-B's Response Other commenters noted H-E-B's immediate attention. "I love the first comment is: H-E-B STANDING ON BUSINESS! I love me some H-E-B," said one person. H-E-B has been strong at promptly recognizing product quality issues, with recalls ranging from ready-to-eat products to waffles to Salmonella in cucumbers. One commenter provided the most likely reason for the mold. "Somebody had to have opened that prior and you just didn't notice it and it grew bacteria," they wrote. "I'm always so weary of those when I buy them I always double check those twist tops." H-E-B's Fan Base and Reputation for Quality Control The other keys here lie in the expectation of quality, the surprise in the rare falter, and the grocer's cult following among Texas patrons-even those in the comments. It is probably the cultiest of the so-called "Texas Trinity," along with Whataburger and Buc-ee's. One writer dubbed H-E-B "one of the most powerful cultural forces in existence," with customers "ultimately loyal to H-E-B in so far as they are loyal to Texas." And it isn't just the made-in-house tortillas, the Cream Creations ice cream, and the store-branded items that compete with national brands. The company has a "Quest for Texas Best" program that gives local entrepreneurs shelf space and offers scaling support, courses, and training. Then, there is the legendary social and disaster response support. H-E-B contributed over $6 million to disaster relief after Hurricane Harvey in 2017, with chairman Charles Butt donating $5 million to the JJ Watt Foundation. The grocer opened 60 of 83 stores in the Houston area, even with short staffs. The company also opened a mobile kitchen that served hot meals to 40,000 people. They moved from Rockport to Victoria to Houston to Beaumont within days. When the primary and secondary water supplies in Beaumont were flooded, the city called H-E-B. The company delivered thousands of gallons of water before the state or federal government could firm up a response. The fact that Taya Janae got a same-day response over chicken broth in a box isn't just good customer service; it's H-E-B protecting an institutional reputation that took 120 years and countless acts of community service to build.

Ray J Says His Erratic Streaming Behavior Is Calculated To Make Him Money

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 16:00 GMT

Ray J says his erratic online behavior isn't a meltdown-it's a money move. The singer and entrepreneur explained in a resurfaced interview that his public stunts are part of a deliberate strategy to drive engagement, boost impressions and rake in revenue across his digital platforms. "All m############ want a story, I can give you stories," Ray J said during a sit-down with Cam Newton on the Funky Friday podcast. "Here's how algorithms work. I got nine platforms. The worse it gets, the better it gets for us, impression-wise, algorithm-wise, profit-wise, everything." Ray J reveals that he constantly CRASHES OUT on purpose to stay RELEVANT because that's the only thing people care about

"The worse I get, the more money I can make" pic.twitter.com/2quPfDOBcf — Killa

(@KillaKreww) November 30, 2025 The clip, recorded four months ago, gained renewed attention last week after Ray J was busted on Thanksgiving and arrested after LAPD officers responded to a 911 call at his home in the Porter Ranch neighborhood of Los Angeles. The early-morning call reported a domestic dispute involving a firearm. The argument between Ray J and Princess Love was broadcast live on social media, with viewers witnessing the couple argue over custody and holiday plans for their two children, Melody and Epik. During the livestream, Ray J allegedly picked up a handgun and appeared to load or handle it in front of the camera. Princess Love accused him of pointing the weapon at her and others in the room. At one point, she told him she had called the police, while Ray J was heard making threats toward another man present. LAPD arrived shortly after 4 A.M., detained him and booked him on a felony charge of making a criminal threat. He posted $50,000 bail and was released later that day. Ray J previously insisted the chaos is intentional. "So the worse I get, the more money I can make. For free. I don't have to pay anybody for ads. All I gotta do is f###### crash," he said. "All I gotta do is be going downward. F###### up. Losing your career. Frustrated. You're going down. And they'll post you every f###### day." When Newton asked if he was still in control of the narrative, Ray J replied, "Control is not even a question. We're beyond control. We're drawing it up and projecting it two years down the line." The resurfaced interview has sparked debate about whether Ray J's recent behavior was part of the same calculated playbook. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/ray-j-says-his-erratic-streaming-behavior-is-calculated-to-make-him-money/

50 Cent Torches Diddy On "Good Morning America"

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 14:34 GMT

50 Cent reignited his long-running feud with Diddy during a sit-down with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, using the spotlight to promote his upcoming Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning and take fresh jabs at his decades-old rival. The four-part series, executive produced by 50 Cent and directed by Alexandria Stapleton, premieres December 2 and dives deep into Diddy's rise through Bad Boy Records, his notorious parties and the federal charges that led to his 50-month prison sentence following a 2024 arrest and 2025 conviction. In the interview, 50 Cent teased never-before-seen footage and made it clear he's not pulling punches. The video shows Diddy barking at his lawyers about strategy, in his hotel room. "Listen to me. I'm gonna get off the phone right now and I am going to let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution. Y'all are not working together the right way. We're losing, " Diddy fumes. Another exclusive clip shows Diddy complaining that he felt dirty after greeting people in Harlem after a visit. "I need some hand sanitizer. I've been on the streets, amongst the people. Yeah, I gotta take a bath. The amount of people that actually, I'm coming in contact with, that's what I have to do," Diddy said. "That shows you his character. What's the odds that you would do that in front the camera, like that's one of the moments where he forgot he was on tape, " 50 Cent said. When asked how he thought Diddy would respond once the series aired, 50 didn't hesitate: "it's not personal." The tension between the two Hip-Hop moguls dates back more than 20 years. In 1999, 50 Cent dropped "How to Rob," a satirical track that name-checked a laundry list of industry figures, including Diddy, Ma$e and Lil' Kim. "I'll snatch Kim and tell Puff, 'You want to see her again/Dance your ass down to the nearest ATM," 50 Cent rapped in the song. During a 2018 interview with The Breakfast Club, 50 Cent started questioning Diddy's sexuality and his motives. View this post on Instagram "He said, 'Let's go shopping,'" 50 said. "I'm like, 'What the f### you just say?'" He later publicly mocked the offer, using it as ammunition to question Diddy's persona. 50 Cent addressed the issue during his interview with Good Morning America. "What they consider a pre-existing beef, right? For 20 years, right? It's me being uncomfortable with him suggesting that he takes me shopping. I looked at it like a tester, like, maybe you'll come play with me, type of thing, right? And it's not personal," 50 continued. Their beef took a more personal turn earlier this year during Diddy's trial, when a woman referred to as "Jane" in court was widely believed to be Daphne Joy, 50 Cent's former partner. That revelation added fuel to an already combustible history between the two. Now, with Combs behind bars at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, 50 Cent is using his platform to dig into the mogul's past. "If I didn't say anything, you would have you would interpret it as Hip-Hop is fine with his behaviors," 50 said. "There's no one else being vocal. So you would look at it and say 'mind your business, or let me not say nothing,' it would allow the entire culture to register as if they're for that behavior." Sean Combs: The Reckoning premieres on Netflix December 2.

'Malicious compliance': Her boss told her to dress 'more professionally.' She compiled, so why is he

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 14:00 GMT

A satirical clip lampooning the persistent gender bias in workplace dress codes is viral online. Here's what's behind the joke. Creative firm Donut Digital (@donutdigital) posted the TikTok on Nov. 11. Through satirical, malicious compliance and role play, the creator exposes how directives to "dress more professionally" can carry implicit gendered expectations. Then she flips the concept on its head when the "boss" essentially says, "No, not like that." As the clip starts, she provides the context, writing in the overlay, "My boss told me I need to start dressing 'more professionally,' and this is how she reacted." Why Is Her Boss Threatening to Report Her to HR? "I've been receiving some complaints from people today about your on-call etiquette," the boss says. "Do you mind going on cam?" The employee turns on the camera, wearing a suit and a fake mustache. "OK. Wow. It kinda seems like you just Googled 'professional' and then put on what you saw," the boss voices in disappointment. "Like, do you mind just taking off the mustache while we have this call? It's just kind of-Yeah. Just peel it off." Then, apparently taking the whole fit in, the boss says, "Wow, so that also has got to go. OK. Say it with me. 'I will not wear a mustache to meetings anymore.'" The creator responds, "I will wear mustaches to meetings." The boss is clearly at her wits' end: "HR needs it-just you saying it out loud. So say it with me. 'I will not wear mustaches to meetings.'" But again, the "employee" doesn't repeat the requested words. Viewers React to the Satirical Workplace Sketch In the comments section of the video, viewers riffed on the joke. "I'm a manager and this is so funny to me, I'm Gen X," said one person. "She has no right to tell you that you can't wear a mustache. That's discrimination." One person joked, "I NEVER SKIP A MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE VIDEO." "Do men also have to not wear mustaches to meetings?" asked another viewer. If This Video Wasn't a Joke, Would the Boss's Behavior Be Legal? The broad issue with the "boss" and her disappointment is legally iffy. For one, the 1989 Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins case (itself based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) says that gender stereotyping is discrimination. An employer asking someone to remove a mustache, then questioning a masculine outfit, is technically illegal. Title VII's prohibition against sex discrimination extends to sexual orientation and gender identity, and was further fortified by Bostock v. Clayton County. The case confirmed that employers can't require transgender employees to follow a dress code for their assigned sex at birth, and that no dress code can force employees to dress contrary to their gender identity. Also, Donut Digital is based in Manhattan Beach, California. Had the clip been a real situation, the boss would have been in legal danger. The state of California explicitly states that it is illegal to prohibit female employees from wearing pants or to require women to wear skirts. The state also protects against discrimination based on gender expression. Even an intimation of gender normativity would be problematic. In this scenario, Human Resources would reprimand or fire the manager for placing an unequal burden on the worker. As one commenter noted, the boss was "restricting your gender identity. HR should be taking YOUR side." All Hip Hop reached out to Donut Digital for more information. @donutdigital Replying to @Spookybootyagain

A$AP Rocky Named Chanel Ambassador In Stylish Surprise

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 13:01 GMT

A$AP Rocky landed a high-fashion partnership and a film role in one move as Chanel announced the Hip-Hop artist as its newest brand ambassador, marking a major crossover moment between luxury style and music culture. The French fashion house made the announcement alongside a short film directed by Michel Gondry, the filmmaker behind Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The visual pairs Rocky with The Substance actress Margaret Qualley in an artsy vignette meant to celebrate his appointment. In a statement shared by Chanel, the company described Rocky as an artist whose "talent, curiosity and limitless creativity" align with the label's vision. Chanel's artistic director Matthieu Blazy praised the rapper's multidimensional appeal, saying, "Rocky is an incredible artist who puts his heart and soul into every project he's involved in, in addition to being an incredible human being." Watch Video on YouTube Blazy added, "Musician, actor, father, friend... he brings so much to the table and always delivers with kindness. We are thrilled to welcome him to Chanel and I'm thrilled to work together again." A$AP Rocky responded with admiration for Blazy's creative direction. "Matthieu's imagination is pushing fashion forward. His designs feel both sensitive and strong, they're grounded in reality but at the same time, always invite one to wonder. I'm so excited to see him at Chanel," he said. The Chanel partnership is just the latest high-profile moment in a packed year for the Harlem native. In February, Rocky was acquitted by a Los Angeles jury after standing trial for allegedly firing a gun at A$AP Relli in a 2021 incident in Hollywood. The jury found him not guilty on all charges. In September, Rocky and global pop icon Rihanna welcomed their third child, a son named Rocki Irish Mayers, expanding their growing family. On the entertainment front, Rocky appeared in the indie dramedy If I Had Legs I'd Kick You with Rose Byrne and Conan O'Brien, and also starred in Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest, sharing the screen with Denzel Washington. The Chanel announcement and accompanying film were released on November 30, 2025.

'You want me to pay more money to Airbnb?': Woman pays over $3,000 for Airbnb. Then she gets there a

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 11:00 GMT

A woman travels to an Airbnb she reserved and finds a series of security issues, which leaves her stranded in her vehicle arguing with customer support until past 4 a.m. Here's a breakdown of what happened. TikTok creator Ashley (@abravesfan27) posted a video about her situation on Oct. 30. In the video, she is sitting inside her vehicle on the phone with Airbnb. "I would've never driven this far, if it wasn't for the Air Cover Guarantee," she says. "So you're telling me that on top of over $3,000 and this house being ... the locks not working, the water shut off. You want me to pay more money to Airbnb during the same time frame to book another Airbnb?" The person on the other end of the call says, "We understand your concern on this one." Ashley explains that it's now 4:30 a.m. in the morning, it's cold outside, and she can't stay in the Airbnb because it doesn't have functioning locks. She appears to be requesting Airbnb provide alternate accommodations, but the agent says he isn't able to provide direct support at the moment. Is This a $3K Airbnb or a 'Dystopian Nightmare'? "I didn't mishear that, it's the truth," Ashley says. "This isn't like a dystopian nightmare, this is true. You're just going to send me a link to spend more money on Airbnb? That's the best you all do? Even though this is all covered under the 'Air Travel Guarantee'? Why is this situation not covered?" The customer service agent replies, "We will be helping you find a place you can stay while we are fixing the concern that you have with the original reservation that you had. You need to book this one on your end. We don't have the option to book this here on our end." Ashley asks, "You don't have the option or you're not willing to? Because it says it's covered under the air travel thing." The agent says, "I want to help you, however, this is a limitation here on our end." Ashley asks, "What type of limitation?" The video cuts out as the man is about to respond. In the caption, Ashley writes, "I tried one time to use Airbnb and never again. Over $3K and the locks didn't work, the water was shut off, and there were trees blocking the driveway. Their support offered zero assistance. Uhh no. Hotel me until forever." Airbnb's AirCover Protection Service Ashley is referring to Airbnb's AirCover protection service, which helps customers in the case of serious safety issues with the reserved property. According to this help article, Airbnb will assist customers in this situation in finding a similar listing "at comparable pricing." Additionally, the company says it will offer full or partial refunds in the event that there isn't a similarly priced listing available.The policy is underwritten by Generali travel insurance and generally covers host cancellations before check-in, serious security issues, and false advertisement. This shouldn't be confused with Airbnb's travel insurance, which covers general travel-related occurrences. Airbnb says that it "may" pay for or contribute to the cost of a new reservation, but it also offers travel credits in some cases. The rebooking assistance may vary based on the specifics issue reported and documentation. In a follow-up video, Ashley shows viewers a screenshot from a conversation with Airbnb support during which the agent tells her the documentation she provided doesn't include enough details to prove her check-in time or when she notified the host. That's likely why Airbnb isn't providing her credit. Viewers React to the Woman's Airbnb 'Dystopian Nightmare' In the comments section, viewers unloaded on the state of Airbnb. Many said they don't recognize the platform they once knew. "Airbnb has 100% lost the plot," wrote one person. "Airbnb is horrible," said a second person. "Horrible." "Airbnb did the same thing to me and I never booked with them again," wrote a third viewer. All Hip Hop contacted Ashley and AirBnB via email for comment. @abravesfan27 I tried ONE time to use @airbnb NEVER again. Over 3k and the locks didn't work, the water was shut off, there were trees blocking the driveway. Their support offered ZERO assistance. In THIS economy? Uhh no. Hotel me until forever #airbnbscams #scam #airbnbhost ? original sound -

Kim Kardashian's Cheeks Will Start Your Week Off Right

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 08:00 GMT

Kim Kardashian gave the world a visual mic drop on Instagram, posing in a sheer brown jumpsuit that left little to the imagination and even less to productivity. The reality mogul turned the photo studio into her own private runway, uploading a carousel that instantly grabbed attention. In one image, Kardashian stands with one hand on her hip while crew members mill around her. A massive softbox light casts her silhouette in sharp relief, putting her backside squarely in the spotlight. It's less behind-the-scenes and more like a still from a dream sequence. View this post on Instagram Another slide brings her face-to-camera. Still in the same translucent one-piece, Kardashian stares straight ahead, her long black hair cascading down her back. The outfit clings to her frame like it was airbrushed on, emphasizing every curve without a single exaggerated pose. Another frame finds her lounging in a chair while her glam squad touches up her makeup. She scrolls through her phone, possibly scanning for the first comment to delete. Even seated, the jumpsuit remains unforgiving, tracing every line of her body with precision. This isn't Kardashian's first time turning a casual moment into a viral spectacle. As AllHipHop previously reported, she recently posted a series of photos from Brazil, where she swam in the ocean at night wearing a sheer vintage Alexander McQueen gown. The caption read "shipwrecked in rio" and the images showed her adrift in the surf like a high-fashion siren. That same shoot included shots of her in a gold bikini by the pool and biking near the water's edge, all carefully curated to deliver maximum visual impact. This latest studio series feels like the landlocked follow-up. No waves, no beach, no props, just Kardashian, a skintight jumpsuit and the quiet power of her Instagram presence. She didn't post a motivational quote to start the week. She posted a reminder that her posts can stop time. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/kim-kardashian-cheeks-will-start-your-week-off-right/

Klay Thompson Goes Overboard: Renames Boat After Megan Thee Stallion

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 03:01 GMT

Klay Thompson stamped his relationship with Megan Thee Stallion into nautical history by renaming his boat the "S.S. Stallion" during a recent West Coast getaway, a move that's fueling buzz about how serious things have gotten between the NBA star and the Grammy-winning rapper. The Dallas Mavericks guard casually revealed the tribute in an Instagram photo dump from his coastal road trip, captioned "West coastin'." Among the scenic shots was a clear image of his boat's stern, freshly labeled "S.S. Stallion" with "Houston, Texas" printed below, an unmistakable nod to Megan's hometown. Meg was standing on the boat in brown boots and fitted jeans, her back turned to the camera. View this post on Instagram The timing of the reveal is worth noting as well. Megan recently dropped a new single where she referenced Klay's "stroke game," and now he's returning the public affection by putting her name on his boat. The romantic gesture comes as the couple's relationship continues to escalate. The pair only went public with their relationship in July, but they've been making big moves ever since. Last month, the rapper posted an image that many believed proved she and Klay Thompson had bought a home together in California and had already moved in. Another milestone came over Thanksgiving when Megan cooked dinner for Klay's entire family. She even posted a behind-the-scenes look at her prep work. While their relationship seems to be thriving, not everyone has been supportive. On a recent episode of the "Hoopin' N Hollerin" podcast, former NBA players Jason Williams and Patrick Beverley made crude remarks, blaming Megan for Klay's shooting slump this season. Klay called the remarks "disgusting" and defended Megan against what many saw as baseless, sexist criticism. From sharing a home to holiday dinners and now a boat that bears her name, Klay and Megan appear to be fully invested in their relationship. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/klay-thompson-goes-overboard-renames-boat-after-megan-thee-stallion/

Iggy Azalea Confirms She's "Very Sure" She Won't Return to Music

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 02:49 GMT

Iggy Azalea. The way people are talking about her, you would think she was Jay-Z. HA! An internet fan innocently asked if she had signed a new record deal, the "Fancy" hitmaker said something that dashed the hopes of millions. "F**k no," she wrote under a selfie on Instagram. Damn, sis. There is a thing called independence and love of the culture that may prompt somebody to do music. "But I did consider signing, for weeks. I'm very sure I don't want to come back to the music industry." The Australian-born rapper makes it seems like she closed the Hip-Hop chapter, but I think she did what most do: play around and break tf out. She got what she wanted and, to me, that as fame and money. Why do all this rapping when you can do OF? She couldn't turn another page. Rap is hard. OF is easy. Azalea has been distancing herself from full-blown releases for years. Her 2021 album, which I don't recall, says it all - The End of an Era. It was a final bow, but I guess some people were holding their breaths. Maybe it is time to recollect that Iggy did have hits with 2014's The New Classic and her No. 1 smash "Fancy." She remains as one of the most commercially successful Australian rappers ever. GMother

pic.twitter.com/r7A2ZgbF52 — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) November 27, 2025 But her story from an industry perspective is a bit different. Earlier this year, Azalea went nuclear on X, claiming Universal Music Group owed her "millions of dollars in back pay" from overseas royalties. She said the number lived somewhere in the "eight-figure range" and insisted the corporation "technically stole" money during her early career. UMG stayed quiet, but Azalea didn't. She has continued dragging those receipts into broader conversations about artist rights and royalty transparency. On ABC News, she opened up about the psychological pressure cooker that defined her rise. She talked about being labeled an "industry plant" and called the rap game a "battlefield." She didn't sugarcoat a thing. "I was stepping on landmines left and right, and I just couldn't survive it. It's not survivable," she said. She did acknowledge her own missteps, so maybe I should give her some slack. "There are some things I walked into and deserve, or things I could have done better. But I can't sit here all day long feeling sorry about that. It's just part of life." Iggy Azalea is out of the music industry, and according to her, she's not looking back at all. She is 35. I think she may reconsider given the right deal. Lemme play my fave Iggy jam.

'I feel like I live in LA': Austin woman says that there is an 'epidemic' of 'clean girls.' What doe

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 02:00 GMT

An Austin-based woman posted a video criticizing the aesthetic that she says is growing rampant throughout the city. Her analysis left viewers divided. On Nov. 21, TikTok creator Greta Devereaux (@greta.d##) posted a video responding to a criticism she heard from a different creator. "I saw this guy make a video about how there are all these copycats in Austin that wanna look like influencers," she said. "They have the stupid haircut, the stupid tattoos, they all wear the same activewear all the time. And not only is it true, but there's also a girl version of this." Deveraux Explains the 'Epidemic' of 'Clean Girls' in Austin Devereaux gives an in-depth explanation of what she believes comes with this aesthetic that she associates with these women, with a text overlay reading, "The epidemic of 'clean girl' copy & pastes in Austin." "It's like these girls that are super polished all the time, " she said. "They're always in a slick back or their hair is professionally done. They're always wearing a monochromatic activewear set from like CSB or Alo or Define. They have like glowy clear girl makeup and a pair of like gold hoops. They have quite a bit of lip filler, too." However, after giving an in-depth visual of this aesthetic, she added a scathing criticism. "And I think most importantly, none of these people, girls or guys, have much personality." What Is the 'Clean Girl' Aesthetic? The "clean girl" aesthetic emerged on TikTok and Instagram around 2021 and has since become a dominant look in many cities with active influencer cultures. At its core, the aesthetic is associated with minimalism, polish, and an aspirational level of effortlessness. The trend is often characterized by slicked-back buns, perfectly fitted neutral workout sets, dewy skin, minimalist gold jewelry, and looking effortlessly put-together despite the fact that it oftentimes requires significant time, money, and intentional effort. Brands like Alo, Lululemon, Skims, and Set Active have shaped the visual language of the trend. That helped to standardize the uniform now recognizable in gyms, coffee shops, and co-working spaces across the country. The look has also become intertwined with a broader lifestyle aspiration around productivity, wellness, discipline, and a curated sense of restraint. Online, "clean girl" often overlaps with routines centered on green juices, hot yoga, cold plunges, and color-coded planners. It's less about any one piece of clothing and more about an overall presentation that signals control, tidiness, and an almost aspirational adulthood. Critics argue that part of why the aesthetic caught on so quickly is that it offers an archetype that feels safe and digestible. Why Are People Bashing the 'Clean Girl' Trend? Deveraux's video elicited a divided reaction. Many defended the trend and said that people should be allowed to dress how they want. "Why can't people look and dress the way they want to without being criticized?" asked one commenter. "I think it's OK for people to do what they want and wear what they want!" added another. However, many comments agreed with Devereaux's take. Others said they feel as if that lack of personality is taking over a city once known for being "weird." One person wrote, "Yes, but also I think it's OK to bemoan the slow death of individuality that we're witnessing happen in real time. Nobody does what THEY like anymore. It's just what's trendy." "Austin is so boring now. I miss when Austin was lowkey ratchet," wrote one commenter. "Over the last five years, Austin's developed its own scene for people who just moved here and watch Instagram lifestyle vlogs a lot," said one commenter. "There's a lot more scenes here in art, music, fashion, raves, outdoorsy granola vibes, or even country vibes if you go outside the city." The tension highlighted in Devereaux's video mirrors a larger debate playing out in other rapidly growing cities about whether social media-driven aesthetics are flattening local culture. As places like Austin, Nashville, and Denver experience influxes of young professionals, long-time residents say that neighborhoods once known for their eccentricity now feel dominated by near-identical, Instagram-friendly looks and lifestyles. For some, the "clean girl" trend is simply a fashion choice, but for many, it's a symbol of sameness. All Hip Hop reached out to Deveraux for comment via TikTok direct messages. @greta.d## #austintx #austin #austintexas ? original sound - Greta .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/newsbreak/austin-woman-clean-girl-epidemic/

EXCLUSIVE: Turk Claims Cash Money Tour Financial Trouble Behind Tour Fallout In $12M Battle

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 01:00 GMT

Turk says the Cash Money Millionaires' 30th Anniversary Tour hit financial trouble long before he was removed, claiming promoters asked him to take less pay. The rap star says his public friction with BG was used as a cover to hide the tour's underwhelming performance and as the reason for his firing, according to information obtained by AllHipHop. Turk argues Dope Shows, Inc. pushed to alter his guaranteed payments after admitting the tour was underperforming and struggling to generate revenue. Emails cited in the filing show the company reached out to him and his manager, flagging what they described as financial shortfalls and asking him to revise his payment schedule. Turk refused to renegotiate. Within days, Dope Shows cut him from the lineup. The court filing states the tour's promoters "sent multiple emails" outlining that the shows were not bringing in enough money to satisfy the payment structure the parties agreed to in March, when Turk signed a ten-show deal for the Cash Money anniversary run. Instead of acknowledging the tour's financial problems, Turk says Dope Shows publicly claimed it removed him because of a social media feud with fellow Hot Boys member BG. Watch Video on YouTube The company accused Turk of making threats and asserted that unnamed venues feared violence, though the filing says no proof has been produced to support those allegations. According to Turk, that explanation was a disguise. The document says Dope Shows used the dispute with BG "as a pretext" to justify removing him from the bill after he declined to take reduced payments on a tour that was reportedly underperforming. Turk also claims Dope Shows failed to follow the contract's termination rules, which required written notice of any alleged breach and a five-day window to fix it, before removing him. The filing says no such notice was ever delivered. The dispute escalated when Dope Shows sued Turk in New York federal court for $12 million, accusing him of defamation for publicly saying the company lacked the funds to pay him. Turk's filing counters that the promoter's own emails corroborate his statements. The document adds another layer: after dropping him, Dope Shows and the tour's booking agent, Artists By Artists Agency, allegedly continued to use Turk's name, image and likeness in marketing the tour and future dates. A cease-and-desist letter was sent on July 26, according to the filing. Turk sued both Dope Shows and the booking agency in Florida on September 25, claiming breach of contract and unauthorized use of his image. Dope Shows then filed its own lawsuit in New York one month later, a move Turk calls "retaliatory" in the filing. The dispute continues as both sides fight over where and how the Cash Money tour's collapse will be litigated. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-turk-claims-cash-money-tour-financial-trouble-behind-tour-fallout-in-12m-battle/

Miami Barber Speaks After Customer Pulls Gun Over Awful Haircut

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 00:00 GMT

The Miami barber who found himself at the center of a viral firestorm and a near-death experience after a disagreement over a haircut at his shop is speaking out. Samuel Wilson, who owns The Square Cutz barbershop, was giving a routine trim to a client when the conversation turned tense over a hairline. Moments later, the man returned with a firearm, pointed it at Wilson and physically assaulted him, all while two kids sat nearby. The entire confrontation was caught on video and has since spread across Instagram, Facebook and other platforms, racking up thousands of views and reactions. "He wasn't a man when he had that gun," Wilson told Local 10 News. "He slapped me in the head with it, choked me out." The footage shows the man growing visibly irritated mid-cut, then stepping outside before storming back in with a gun. A second customer can be seen trying to intervene as Wilson attempts to defuse the situation. Watch Video on YouTube "I did not think he was going to come around here and come back," Wilson said. "I thought we might have fisticuffs but I didn't think he was going to come back with a firearm. I told him, man, have a good day." Wilson said he had cut the man's hair "many times before" and never imagined the situation would spiral into violence. The customer was reportedly wearing a county-issued uniform, adding confusion to an already surreal moment. The video's rapid spread has drawn widespread outrage, mainly because of the children who witnessed the armed confrontation. The panic in the footage has only fueled calls for police to take swift action. Despite the trauma, Wilson says his commitment to the community he's served for five years remains unchanged. "This is a safe place for anybody," he said. "I don't hold no grudges," Wilson added. "I can't say I can forgive him. But I hope the best for you, homie. Have a good day and have a good life." As of now, no arrests have been confirmed. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/miami-barber-speaks-after-customer-pulls-gun-over-awful-haircut/

Lizzo Says She Used Her Weight As "Protective Sheild"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 23:00 GMT

Lizzo opened up about the darkest chapter of her life, detailing how a wave of public scrutiny and personal betrayal pushed her into a mental health crisis that led to her unexpected weight loss. "I started losing weight in the fall of 2023," she wrote in a deeply personal Substack essay. "I was severely depressed. I had been the subject of vicious scandal, and it felt like the whole world turned its back on me. I became deeply suicidal. I cut off all my loved ones." The Grammy-winning artist said the emotional collapse followed a lawsuit filed by three former backup dancers who accused her of harassment. The fallout left her feeling abandoned by friends and colleagues. "I couldn't trust anyone," she said. "People I loved, trusted, and looked up to were turning on me publicly. They were making things up about me for clout and attention. God knows why...Fifteen minutes of fame? I guess I'll never know." The emotional toll, she said, left her furious and voiceless. "I was angry every day. I couldn't defend myself. I couldn't explain myself. I couldn't be myself. No one would believe me." What followed wasn't a fitness plan or a body transformation goal; it was survival. Lizzo turned to pilates to cope with the emotional weight she was carrying. "I needed a way to process [my] pain through [my] body," she wrote. "I found that I had lost some weight in that process, but it wasn't as significant as it is now. Because it wasn't intentional." View this post on Instagram Through therapy, she began to understand the emotional armor her body had become. "My weight had been a protective shield, a joyful comfort zone, and even sometimes a super hero suit to protect me through life." She traced her emotional burdens back years, her father's death in 2009, a string of unhealthy relationships, and the pressure of financially supporting her family since 2016. "I wanted to let-it-the-f### go," she wrote. Lizzo has long been a target of public criticism over her appearance. From backlash over her sheer dress at a Lakers game to negative reactions to her workout videos, she's been accused of everything from glamorizing obesity to giving in to fatphobia. "The way I've been treated as a public figure since I was introduced to the world as a confident, body positive figure has been borderline emotional abuse," she wrote. "And it's simply because of my weight." Now weighing over 200 pounds, Lizzo says she's proud of herself regardless of the number on the scale. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/lizzo-says-she-used-her-weight-as-protective-sheild/

Sauce Walka Takes Center Stage as Republic Records Enters Gaming With "OnlyHands"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 22:30 GMT

Republic Records has stepped into the world of gaming with a major new venture and Houston's own Sauce Walka is a player in an unexpected way. The label has announced a strategic partnership with developer Nothing Projects Interactive to launch OnlyHands, a real-time mobile fighting game inspired by the cult legacy of Def Jam: Fight for NY. The title is slated for release in late 2025. Sauce Walka isn't just a featured character, he's part of the creative DNA. View this post on Instagram "Proud to announce the future/present of Hip-Hop gaming," Sauce Walka wrote on Instagram. "We have been begging for a video game like this since Def Jam Vendetta & Def Jam: Fight for NY... now it's finally here... 'OnlyHands' is the elite Hip-Hop (open world) fighting game featuring the industry's top artist & most influentially cultured figures in the RAPGAME. Real hands will be THROWN." Walka appears prominently in early trailers and has publicly stated he is working with the development team, injecting the game with his signature blend of energy, humor and authenticity. His involvement has already helped push OnlyHands beyond a typical music-industry tie-in toward something fans are beginning to view as a full-scale cultural event. Republic has not yet confirmed which artists will appear as playable fighters, but the roster potential is massive. The label's lineup includes Nicki Minaj, Kid Cudi, Ariana Grande, Lorde, Taylor Swift and others. Avery Lipman, Founder of Republic Records and Vice Chairman/COO of Republic Collective, said the partnership represents a deliberate push into digital culture. "They've created a new paradigm with OnlyHands," Lipman said. "It's a seamless platform for the integration of gaming, music, and culture." Nothing Projects Interactive describes OnlyHands as a "music-first" ecosystem built on four pillars: . Combat-driven streaming, where match victories trigger real music streams . Playable artist avatars designed around each performer's style and identity . Instant content drops, allowing artists to push new moves, cosmetics, or tracks in real time . A connected fan economy, merging streams, in-game rewards, and digital purchases CEO Zane Comer said the intention is not to blend industries but to establish a new medium. "Gaming and music were never truly separate-they just hadn't found their native form," Comer explained. "What we're building isn't a crossover, it's a new medium." The project arrives as Republic's parent company, Universal Music Group, expands deeper into interactive entertainment, including ventures in Roblox, metaverse fan experiences, and tools that integrate artists like Lil Wayne directly into games. Meanwhile, OnlyHands is already building an online community through playful world-building, fictional "studies," teaser clips, and cameos from Boosie, Key Glock, Kodak Black, and others. But at this early stage, Sauce Walka is the loudest voice championing the game, positioning himself as both a character and a cultural architect. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/sauce-walka-takes-center-stage-as-republic-records-enters-gaming-with-onlyhands/

Adin Ross Admits He Uses N-Word While Listening to Rap Music

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 21:01 GMT

Adin Ross just dropped a bombshell that's got the Hip-Hop community talking. The white Kick streamer straight-up admitted he uses the N-word when rapping along to songs, and he's not backing down from it. During his November 28 stream, Ross made the confession that's now going viral across social media. "I'm not going to lie to you guys. I'm not fake. Whenever I listen to rap music... there's times where I say it. But me not saying it on stream, like, I have rapped songs before saying the word. I'm not a pu**y, and I'll tell you guys that," Ross told his viewers. But Ross didn't stop there. He doubled down by claiming every other streamer does the same thing, saying, "I believe that every single streamer f###### says it... pretty sure everyone f###### says it." For streamers who deny using the slur, Ross had harsh words: "they're full of f###### b#######." Watch Video on YouTube This latest admission adds fuel to the already-burning fire around Ross and racial controversies. The 25-year-old streamer, who's of Jewish heritage, has been at the center of multiple N-word incidents that have damaged his relationships within the Hip-Hop community. The most damaging controversy came earlier this year when Kai Cenat revealed that Ross's manager, Taav, called him the N-word during a heated phone call about Cenat's McDonald's commercial deal. Cenat explained this incident was a major reason he distanced himself from Ross, saying the manager went on a racist tirade after he declined to collaborate with the Kick streamer. Watch Video on YouTube Ross has also faced backlash from established Hip-Hop artists. Chief Keef previously reacted to Ross using the N-word during streams, and Sexyy Red has also addressed the streamer's problematic language. These incidents have created a pattern that's hard to ignore in the Hip-Hop community. The issue of white fans using the N-word isn't new in Hip-Hop culture. Kendrick Lamar famously called out a white fan at his concert for saying the slur while performing "M.A.A.D City," stopping the show to address the inappropriate behavior. Watch Video on YouTube What makes Ross's admission particularly problematic is his platform and influence. As a prominent streamer with millions of followers, his casual attitude toward using racial slurs normalizes this behavior for his predominantly young, white audience. His claim that "everyone does it" attempts to deflect responsibility rather than acknowledge the harm. The Hip-Hop community has consistently made it clear that the N-word isn't for everyone to use, regardless of musical context. Watch Video on YouTube Artists have repeatedly explained that singing along to lyrics doesn't give non-Black people permission to use the slur, yet Ross seems to dismiss these boundaries entirely. Ross's "I'm not fake" defense misses the point entirely. Being authentic doesn't mean ignoring the cultural significance and pain associated with racial slurs. This controversy comes as Ross continues trying to rebuild his reputation in Hip-Hop circles. Adin Ross's casual admission and defiant attitude show he's either unwilling or unable to understand why his behavior harms the culture he profits from.

EXCLUSIVE: Judge Orders Rod Wave To Mediation Over $27 Million Tour Feud

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 20:00 GMT

Rod Wave must sit down to talk in his multimillion-dollar legal war with his former concert promoter, which has taken a new turn, this time toward the negotiating table. A federal judge in Florida has ordered both sides into mediation after months of escalating court filings over the collapse of the rapper's "Last Lap Tour," which Grizzly Touring LLC claims lost more than $57 million and left $27.2 million unpaid. The order appoints Tampa attorney Bradford D. Kimbro as mediator and requires the session to take place no later than July 15, 2026. Both parties, including Rod Wave's company, Hit House Entertainment and Grizzly's executives, must attend in person, according to the filing. Any unexcused absence could result in sanctions. The mediation order comes after months of legal volleys between the two camps. Grizzly Touring first sued Rod Wave earlier this year, alleging he breached his tour contract, canceled shows, and pocketed millions in unreturned advances. Watch Video on YouTube The promoter claimed it had advanced more than $20 million to cover production, travel, and insurance, only for the rapper's team to cancel 14 of the 40 scheduled arena shows. Rod Wave's camp fired back, blaming production issues and promoter mismanagement for the breakdown. His lawyers said Grizzly failed to meet logistical commitments, resulting in cancellations and delays. Grizzly's 36-page rebuttal, filed earlier this month, countered that Rod Wave's own production crew caused the collapse by overbooking cities and underestimating stage setup costs. The company also accused his camp of secretly planning a competing tour business while under contract, potentially violating their exclusivity deal. Now, both sides must try to hash it out privately. Only the mediator can declare an impasse, and all discussions remain confidential under federal court rules. The court-appointed mediator's report will determine whether the dispute settles or heads to trial, a decision that could shape the future of Rod Wave's live performance empire and his relationship with major promoters. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-judge-orders-rod-wave-to-mediation-over-27-million-tour-feud/

Megan Thee Stallion Makes Eyes Pop By Flaunting Curves In Cardi B-Inspired TikTok Video

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 18:01 GMT

Megan Thee Stallion turned heads and stirred talk of another team-up with Cardi B after posting a TikTok video that highlighted her figure and featured a now-viral soundbite from Cardi's freestyle. The clip, filmed in a sleek room with green walls and mirrors, used Cardi's audio from November 28, where she says, "My man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby / Dickin' me down, spoilin' me, drivin' me crazy." pic.twitter.com/dnH3XdsNM7 — Cardi B (@iamcardib) November 28, 2025 Wearing a snug grey two-piece outfit, Megan showed off a sculpted silhouette. The cropped button-up top, complete with hook closures, hugged her chest and revealed her toned midsection and belly piercing. The matching pants sat high on her hips and followed her curves like they were custom-made. Her long waves and confident stance gave the look a bold finish. The video wasn't just about fashion; it sparked talk across social media about whether the two rap stars are plotting another collaboration. The audio Megan used came from Cardi, which has already made the rounds online. Megan's choice to pair it with a sultry visual prompted viewers to speculate that a remix of her current single "Lover Girl" might be in the works. @theestallion Okurrrrr ? original sound - Bardigang Mzansi

"Lover Girl," a romantic track tied to her public relationship with NBA player Klay Thompson, had already gained traction on TikTok before Cardi's freestyle gave it a fresh boost. The official music video, which features Megan dancing in lingerie on a martini glass pole and channeling Cupid-inspired visuals, helped push the song into the Top 40 and marked a return to the Hot 100 for rap after a brief lull. The Cardi B clip only added fuel to the conversation. Their past collaborations, "WAP," GloRilla's "Wanna Be (Remix)" and 2023's "Bongos," have all performed well, and viewers are eager to see the duo reunite on a new track. The chemistry between the two artists has proven successful before and the buzz around this TikTok has many hoping that a "Lover Girl" remix featuring Cardi could be next. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/megan-thee-stallion-makes-eyes-pop-by-flaunting-curves-in-cardi-b-inspired-tiktok-video/

'I have a 5-star rating': New York Uber driver gets 1am ride request from the bar. When he arrives,

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 17:02 GMT

A New York Uber driver shared an interaction with the friend of a passenger he said was obviously drunk, prompting viewers to share their frustration about intoxicated passengers. "I was driving Uber this weekend and I got a ride request at 1 in the morning to pick this lady up from behind a bar," said Neil Jordon (@neiljordon) in a TikTok he posted on Nov. 3. Jordon says that the interaction was normal until the passenger's friend approached him. New York Uber Driver Accepts 1 A.M. Ride Request from the Bar "She comes over to my window, and she has like these long pointy fingernails, and she's like tapping on my window," he said. "So I roll the window down like 2 inches." Jordan says the woman asked who he was, and he pointed at the sign on his window. He said she kept asking questions and making comments, insinuating that if he did anything bad to her friend, she would know about it. "I have a 5-star rating. I've been driving for six years, I'm local, I was born and raised here," he tells the audience in his video. "This is the car that's in the app. The license plate is there. You know everything about me." Viewers React to the Uber Passenger's Friend Viewers responded to Jordon's viewers, echoing his frustration with the conduct of certain rideshare passengers. "Why is it so hard just to say, 'Can you make sure my friend comes home safe?'" commented one user. "Sorry you have to deal with that type of communication." "I'm over Uber and these people," wrote another. "I'd be canceling the ride," added a third. "I have no patience." Recent data suggests Jordon's experience is not an isolated one. While the majority of rides go smoothly, there are still significant safety concerns for drivers, especially during late-night pickups. According to a 2023 survey by the Strategic Organizing Center, 67% of app-based rideshare drivers reported experiencing some form of violence, harassment, or threats over the past year, including 52% reporting verbal abuse, and nearly 40% reporting that their vehicle had been damaged. Drivers also repeatedly cite intoxicated passengers as a major source of anxiety. On the passenger side, court documents unsealed in 2025 revealed that Uber received 400,181 reports of sexual assault or misconduct between 2017 and 2022, with many alleged incidents occurring "late at night" and involving intoxicated passengers. These disclosures have fueled more than 2,300 federal lawsuits against the company. For drivers like Jordon, who pride themselves on their ratings and history, such patterns highlight how complex and emotionally difficult late-hour rides can be. All Hip Hop reached out for comment to Jordon via TikTok direct messages and Uber via email. @neiljordon #uber #uberdriver #annoying #bar #drunks ? original sound - Neil Jordon .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/newsbreak/new-york-uber-driver-accepts-1am-ride-request/

Masika Kalysha Dragged For Dating Hood Trophy Bino A Week After Burying Her Husband

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 17:00 GMT

Masika Kalysha has been catching hell on social media for three straight days after going public with her new relationship with rapper Hood Trophy Bino, just weeks after her estranged husband, Jamar Champ, died in a tragic freeway crash. The Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star, who previously dated Fetty Wap and shares a daughter with him, found herself in the crosshairs of public opinion when videos surfaced showing her getting cozy with Hood Trophy Bino. What's got people really heated is the timing. Champ's death happened just weeks ago, and Masika was posting emotional funeral photos with captions like "Grief is the loudest silent echo" before quickly moving on with Bino. "Today is the 2nd worse day of my life. I can't believe I'm laying my husband to rest today. I haven't taken a single breath since you took your last. How am I supposed to do this without you? You took my heart with you. This changed me. I will never look at life the same," Masika Kalysha said. Adding another layer to this mess is Hood Trophy Bino's recent messy breakup with Chrisean Rock. The rapper, who publicly declared Masika "the love of my life," was just linked to the controversial reality star before switching up to Masika. Talk about moving fast in these Hip-Hop streets. Here's the thing, though. Masika and Jamar were estranged at the time of his death. They weren't together; they were just co-parenting their daughter, Amari. But that detail seems to have been lost on the internet mob that's been dragging her relentlessly. She's been in the game long enough to know how brutal social media can be, but this backlash seems particularly intense. The comments on her posts have been ruthless. "I'm sorry, Masika is going straight to hell," one user said. Another added: "I really felt bad that masika lost her husband in a terrible car accident for her to be right back outside with Chrisesns ex Bino." Others are calling her out for not waiting longer out of respect for Champ's memory. The whole situation has turned into a social media circus with everyone having an opinion about how long someone should grieve. The reality is that grief looks different for everyone and estranged relationships complicate things even more. But try explaining that to Twitter fingers and Instagram comments sections that have already made up their minds. If you want to see just how brutal social media can be, check out some of the worst posts dragging Masika right now. Masika has always been a wh*re. She's just going what she does

How Trump, Elon Musk & DOGE Are Like The Joker As $135 Billion Burns

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 16:30 GMT

In The Dark Knight, there is a particular scene where the Joker burns an unimaginable amount money. It is one of the film's most defining moments, chaotic, theatrical and profoundly unsettling. It takes place inside a dim, dark warehouse owned by Gotham's mob with Joker as the centerpiece. At the center of the wear house are billions of bucks stacked floor to ceiling in a crude pyramid. It's impressive. It is also grotesque. It clearly symbolizes the mob's greed as a physical monument. Joker climbs to the top of the pile dragging the mob's accountant behind him. He casually sits Lao, the mob accountant, on the very top, like a sacrifice. Below, the mob bosses look on, expecting a deal. Instead, Joker gives them one of his most telling lines: "It's not about the money... it's about sending a message." Then he lights a single match. At the point, our government feels like a scene in a Batman movie, the futuristic, dystopian versions like Frank Miller's Dark Knight. DOGE. I think it is time to recognize it was never reform effort. It was, at best, a cruel stunt. Unlike Joker in the movie, your government - our government - is not burning their own money. This costly, chaotic, wildly irresponsible act burned up American taxpayer money. The project strutted in with unchecked swagger, promising to rewrite the rules of government spending. Instead, it crashed into reality and left $135 billion in damage behind. That's not political spin or partisan math. That's the figure from the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service, and it exposes the truth Trump and Musk never wanted to admit: their "efficiency revolution" was nothing more than a bonfire built out of our money. The Numbers Tell the Story - and the Story Is Ugly DOGE started with the grand pledge of cutting $2 trillion in waste. The kind of number designed for headlines, but not accuracy. Then Musk walked it back to $150 billion. Now independent analysts say even that scaled-down figure was inflated by as much as 80 percent. That's not reform, that's cap. Lies. Myth-making. They bragged about canceling contracts worth billions when the paperwork showed those contracts were worth millions. In other cases, DOGE claimed "savings" for canceling contracts that had already expired. It was a PR spin that went on and on unchecked. A Workforce Purge With a Massive Price Tag Here's where the real damage appears: DOGE didn't just trim fat, it actually amputated limbs from the work force. More than 260,000 federal workers have been pushed out through firings, buyouts and early retirements. That's a destructive, rampant destabilization. Entire agencies are hollowed out. You cannot just recreate that sort of institutional knowledge. Younger worker cannot be trained in a week The IRS faces an exodus so large it threatens basic government function. When you fire the people who collect taxes, you collect fewer taxes. Even the Joker is smarter than that. Yale's Budget Lab determined that the departure of 22,000 IRS employees will cost the government $8.5 billion in lost revenue in 2026, and nearly $200 billion over a decade. The math ain't mathing. The Price of Chaos There are some numbers that made plenty of sense when broken down. Productivity number. Workers spent hours each week responding to Musk's email scavenger hunts demanding lists of their "five accomplishments." Analysts estimate those disruptions ate up 165,000 hours of labor. Count how much a governmental ego trip cost Americans. Burn It Down And now, quietly, without ceremony, DOGE has been burned like that stack of money the Joker devalued. Gone. Ten short months after its triumphant rollout, it ends in silence. But we know. Nothing Musk and Trump promised came true. Not the savings. Not the efficiency. Not the cleaner, smarter government. Instead, DOGE left behind a broken workforce, a trail of confusion and a price tag that would make any deficit hawk choke. The Real Cost This Trump-Musk alliance is selling a government too gutted to function, but somehow more expensive than ever. The workforce remains so battered it can't carry out basic tasks. A tax system starved of the personnel it needs to enforce the law. And a public left footing an ever-growing bill. DOGE was supposed to be a revolution in efficiency. Instead, it stands as one of the most expensive cautionary tales in modern governance. The truth is simple: They didn't cut waste. They created it. They didn't save taxpayer dollars. They torched them. And now it's up to the American people to sift through the ashes. A comic super villain has more principles.

Child's Birthday Party Ends In Bloodshed After Four Shot Dead - Democrats & Republicans Blame Each O

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 16:08 GMT

Stockton was the site of a devastating mass shooting Saturday evening when gunfire tore through a child's birthday party, leaving four people dead and 10 others wounded inside a banquet hall on Lucile Avenue. Deputies from the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office arrived around 6 P.M. to find a chaotic scene. Four individuals were already deceased, and 10 others had been struck by bullets and transported to nearby hospitals. Authorities confirmed the attack appeared to be deliberate. "The mass shooting appears to be targeted," said Heather Brent, a spokesperson for the Sheriff's Office, as investigators continue to search for the shooter and determine a motive. The violence shattered what should have been a family celebration. According to Brent, both children and adults were among the victims, though names and conditions have not been released. Vice Mayor Jason Lee addressed the tragedy in a Facebook post. "Tonight, my heart is heavy in a way that's hard to put into words. As Vice Mayor of Stockton - and as someone who grew up in this community - I am devastated and angry to learn about the mass shooting at a child's birthday party. A birthday party should never be a place where families fear for their lives. Violence touched my life as a young person, and seeing our own children, parents, and neighbors go through this shakes me deeply. Stockton is my home. These are our families. This is our community." Lee, a Stockton native, pledged to demand accountability and transparency from law enforcement as the investigation unfolds. Watch Video on YouTube The shooter remains at large, and no arrests have been made as of Sunday evening. The incident has left the community shaken and grieving, with many residents demanding answers and justice. This marks yet another entry in the growing list of mass shootings in the United States this year. According to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as any event where four or more people are shot (excluding the perpetrator), the Stockton attack is one of hundreds reported in 2025. Similar tragedies have occurred in cities like San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Chicago and Houston, highlighting the nationwide scope of the crisis. The political divide over how to address gun violence remains entrenched. Republican lawmakers continue to support Second Amendment protections and favor enforcing current laws. The Trump administration has backed measures such as the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. Meanwhile, Democrats are pushing for broader reforms, including universal background checks, assault weapon bans and red flag laws. While the national debate rages on, the families in Stockton are left to bury loved ones and recover from trauma. This went down in an area under very strict gun control. In a state where republicans are not relevant whatsoever! — Tennessee Troubadour (@austin83919) November 30, 2025 Make it make sense; after a mass shooting, when Democrats call for gun control, Republicans say it's too soon. But after an immigrant shoots national guards, Trump wants to deport ALL legal immigrants. It's....too soon!! — Bruce_Is_Here (@BruceInMich) November 30, 2025 I can't understand why such bizarre murders are almost a daily occurrence in the USA. Isn't it time that politicians from all parties bow down to stricter gun control laws and not be swayed by wealthy Republicans? #Stockton #California

Max B Sparks Reality TV Series Talk Amid New Moves

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 15:30 GMT

Max B steps back into the spotlight with word spreading about a developing reality show that places his post-prison rise beside his renewed love life and the quiet storm that follows him everywhere. What started as light street chatter right after he came home has grown into a steady hum with people insisting the project is real and already taking shape. At first the talk felt premature since he had just regained his freedom but the momentum never died and recent signs point to something genuine in the works. READ ALSO: Max B Links With French Montana For "Coke Wave 3.5 Studio: Narcos" Comeback The concept reportedly centers on Max B and his wife who stayed loyal throughout his incarceration and then took the marriage from prison paperwork to a true celebration once he walked out the gate. Their connection has become part of his public resurgence and insiders say the show would lean heavily into their bond the rebuilding and the day to day adjustments of life after a long bid. It also speaks to the way Max B has reengaged with the public since returning home. Many artists come back to applause but very few experience the wave of affection he receives from people who seem invested not just in his music but in his wellbeing and evolution. Those who have watched him quietly reposition himself believe his wife plays a key part in the new image. She has supported his transition and offered stability as he reenters the industry. The idea of them moving as a unit on television makes sense for a rapper who built an entire identity around confidence style and the ability to tap into emotion without losing edge.The history of rapper driven reality television adds an interesting wrinkle. Jim Jones and Chrissy paved the early lane for relationship based Hip-Hop storytelling and their series helped inspire an entire genre. Their influence still echoes today which makes the potential Max B series feel like a full circle moment for the culture. There is also hope that one day Max B and Jim Jones may find common space again since both men are thriving and the game benefits from peace rather than old tension. If the whispers are accurate the Max B story is far from finished. The next chapter could put his comeback and his marriage on center stage with a reality lens tracking the climb of an artist who once felt unreachable yet remains one of the most magnetic figures to step back into the game. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/max-b-sparks-reality-tv-series-talk-amid-new-moves/

Rapper's "Pimphop" Dream Turn Into Human Trafficking Nightmare In Baltimore

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 15:00 GMT

Poppa Fetti found himself behind bars on serious human trafficking charges, turning his dreams of "pimphop" stardom into a legal nightmare that could destroy his life. Deion Taurence Philip, better known by his rap moniker Poppa Fetti, was arrested on November 4 in Hanover, Pennsylvania, by Maryland State Police and U.S. Marshals. The 32-year-old New York native now sits in Baltimore County Detention Center without bond, facing sex trafficking of a minor charges alongside his alleged accomplice, Antoine Miles, 57, from Maryland. This whole mess started back in September when investigators from Maryland State Police Child Recovery Unit were running a joint operation with Baltimore County Police and the FBI. They spotted what looked like a young female being advertised online for sexual acts and tracked her down to a Towson hotel. Turns out she was a critically missing juvenile. The investigation kept rolling after that first rescue. When cops finally caught up with Poppa Fetti at that Pennsylvania residence, they found another missing juvenile female who they believe was also a victim of sex trafficking. Two days later, they nabbed Miles at Minneapolis airport. Authorities think there might be more victims out there. What makes this case particularly wild is how Poppa Fetti was literally broadcasting his intentions on social media. Just last month, on October 3, he posted on Instagram about his musical direction, calling his style "Pimphop." View this post on Instagram "Since I got your attention, I just want to give you a brief introduction to the music that I'll be putting out, ya dig.. I'm not in the same game or come from the same game you used to listen to, you know, your, Gucci Mane's and s###. I'm on that Iceberg Slim s###, that Too $hort type s###, that Suga Free type s###. My music is gonna bring you into my world. My books, and it's off entertainment, but know that it's all official," Poppa Fetti said in an IG post on October 3. The references to Too $hort and Suga Free aren't random name-drops. These West Coast legends built careers around pimp-themed rap, with Too $hort coming out of Oakland in the '80s and Suga Free following suit from Los Angeles in the '90s. Both artists made their mark with explicit lyrics about street life and the pimp game, though they presented it as entertainment and storytelling rather than real-life instruction manuals. But Poppa Fetti wasn't just talking about this lifestyle in his music. He actually wrote and published a book called "OUTFIT" in March 2020. The book's description reads: "Fa da Fee ain't just a slick talking hustler...HE'S A CERTIFIED PIMP! Breaking prostitutes and overcoming obstacles. But can he and his crew make it to the top? Will he beat the statistics or become one? Follow Fa da Fee on his journey through the ghetto streets to the executive suites. Pimpin' ain't easy as they say, especially when you strictly live by the code 'Pimp or Die.'" His raps, social media posts and the book could now become major pieces of evidence against him.

Meek Mill Vows To Get Back At America Over His Prison Stay

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 13:01 GMT

Meek Mill unleashed an impassioned message on social media targeting the U.S. justice system and vowing financial retribution for the years he says were stolen from him due to poverty, violence and incarceration. "Ima pay America back in a billion dollars for making me grow up around murder and poverty...I had weed on me and got found guilty for point a gun at a cop! Locking me in cells with random killers .. locking me 23/1 for riding a bike! Ima get back before I die I swear to god!" Meek Mill posted on X. Ima pay America back in a billion dollars for making me grow up around murder and poverty ... I had weed on me and got found guilty for point a gun at a cop! Locking me in cells with random killers .. locking me 23/1 for riding a bike! Ima get back before I die I swear to god! — MeekMill (@MeekMill) November 29, 2025 The Philadelphia rapper has long been vocal about his turbulent history with the criminal justice system. His tweet references a 2007 arrest involving gun and drug charges that led to a decade-long legal saga. At just 19, Meek was convicted of carrying a firearm without a license and drug possession, resulting in an initial sentence of 11 to 23 months in county jail followed by years of probation. He was even ordered to take etiquette clase. That probation would later become the center of national attention. In 2017, Meek Mill was sentenced to two to four years in prison for violating probation, including popping a wheelie on a dirt bike in New York City, a move that prosecutors argued was reckless and violated the terms of his release. The arrest for the wheelie, which was captured on video, drew widespread criticism and ignited a larger conversation about how the justice system disproportionately punishes Black men for minor infractions. The judge in that case, Genece Brinkley, faced scrutiny for what many believed was excessive punishment. Brinkley had previously denied requests to end Meek's probation early and was accused of having a personal vendetta against him. Watch Video on YouTube After spending five months behind bars, Meek's conviction was overturned in 2018 due to credibility issues with the arresting officer. The Pennsylvania Superior Court granted him a new trial, and the charges were later dropped. That legal victory paved the way for Meek to co-found the Reform Alliance alongside Jay-Z, Michael Rubin and others, with a mission to overhaul probation and parole laws across the country. Meek's tweet reflects the weight of those years, lost time, missed opportunities and the trauma of incarceration. While his message was emotional, it was also a declaration of purpose. He's not just talking about revenge; he's talking about redemption, on his own terms. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/meek-mill-vows-to-get-back-at-america-over-his-prison-stay/

'He was badly behaved with the bartenders': Austin man blasts Gabriela's on Facebook. Then the owner

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 11:00 GMT

The owner of an Austin restaurant addresses a complaint video posted by an unhappy customer on Facebook. Not only are his complaints invalid, she said, but she has the receipts to prove it. TikTok creator Gabriela Bucio (@gabriela.atx) is a restaurateur based in Austin, Texas. In a video posted on Nov. 17, she addressed an incident at her restaurant Gabriela's South. First, Bucio said that the customer, who she refers to as "Mr. Roger," and his party arrived at the restaurant an hour past their 7:15 p.m. reservation. Still, the staff recognized that this was a party of regulars and they accommodated them anyway. Why Did This Gabriela's South Customer Post to Facebook? Apparently, the courtesy wasn't appreciated by Roger, who is known as Roger El Versache on Facebook, because Bucio said he repaid the kindness by complaining about the menu, the size of the cocktails, and how the food was prepared, even though Bucio said the menu clearly labeled everything. The story didn't end there. Bucio also accuses the customer of mistreating her bartending staff. And then he posted a video detailing his complaints to Facebook. "Unfortunately, he was rude to our female staff, behavior we do not tolerate and even in his video he made inappropriate and disrespectful comments about them," she wrote in the video's caption. "We wish him well and hope he finds a place that better suits his preferences." Additionally, Bucio posted screenshots of Facebook messages she said she received from other people in the party who saw the video and wanted to clarify that the entire party didn't share Roger's opinion. In another Facebook post, Roger addressed the screenshots by saying there was obviously a "Judas" at the dinner table. In comments, he also claimed that no one in the party told him directly that he'd crossed a line or asked him to take the video down. Viewers React to the Gabriela's South Facebook Dust-Up In the comments section, viewers discussed the man's complaint video and Bucio's response. "Some people don't have better things to do with their time," wrote one person. "Gabriela's South is my go-to spot as soon as I'm in Austin." A second viewer said, "I like how calmly you addressed this issue. It goes to show how professional and well-educated you are, Gaby. God bless you and your businesses always." Bucio replied, "We tried leaving him a comment and reaching out to him, but something I've learned is to never argue with people on their territory." However, some commenters validated at least part of Roger's complaints. "I don't know, girl," wrote one person. "I've been to Gabriela's South and the staff be catching attitude all the time. And they be taking a while to greet us at our table. One time I had the waiter say she forgot and we waited 30 minutes to get water. I do love y'alls drinks though." Bucio responded, "And a serious complaint is valid. My video was a reply to his complaints about us not having a reservation and the menu not pointing out the prices of the happy hour. I always take complaints seriously and there are always managers [on-site]." A Reddit post to r/AustinFood four years ago features customers discussing the pros and cons of Gabriela's South. One person wrote, "The food is good, the service is hit or miss, and the music is MUCH too loud during normal eating hours." A second person said, "Gabriela (the owner) is great. My family loves her style." All Hip Hop contacted Roger El Versache via Instagram direct message for comment. We also reached out to Bucio via TikTok direct messages for comment. @gabriela.atx Mr. Roger did not have a reservation at Gabriela's South because the party's reservation was at 7:15 PM and they arrived more than an hour late. Even then, we gladly accommodated the entire group because they always dine with us, and everyone enjoyed their time except for him. Unfortunately, he was rude to our female staff, behavior we do not tolerate and even in his video he made inappropriate and disrespectful comments about them. We wish him well and hope he finds a place that better suits his preferences. ? original sound - Gabriela Bucio .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/newsbreak/gabrielas-south-austin-facebook-complaint/

What Happened To Game & DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz?

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 10:15 GMT

So... we need to talk. Something in the Hip-Hop is off! A few days back, The Game sat in an interview beaming. He said he locked in with DJ Drama and knocked out a full Gangsta Grillz project in 48 hours - from scratch. It was a moment in that moment. Instant victory lap. The Game: News, Rumors & More He bragged that he cut 60 songs in one weekend, picking the top 19 for the "tape." Drama was talking and the streets were waiting! The OGs were truly taking the game back and The Game was instantly a part of that. But it is now Sunday. Where is it the project? What happened? Why does this feel like a ghost project? READ ALSO: The Game Recorded A Gangsta Grillz In 48 Hours?! Because this Gangsta Grillz has not shown up at all, not even a song. Well, there's some song that keeps showing up on my Spotify, but it is not a part of the album. There is nothing! I am thinking this may have gotten picked up by an actually major label or something. I am not sure, but nobody is asking these questions. So, here I am. I told you The Game is one of our favorites. So that's the part that stings. This wasn't just "another project." This was supposed to be a moment! The Bi-Polar Bear is back! A seasoned vet linking with the king of mixtapes (of the day)! The Game hyped us all up! 60 songs and we don't get one? I want to shed a tear. So...what went wrong with the Black Friday release? Was it politics? Was it clearance issues? Did Drama have too much on his plate? Did The Game move too fast? Was there chaos behind the scenes? The Game can rap. We need more rappers. DJ Drama is the hype beast-type DJ for the culture - in a good way. The ball has not been dropped, but we need some answers! Now we're all watching to see if the real story ever comes out. Or the real album comes out. Hip-Hop wants answers. I wrote all that to hear the album is now slated for a December 5 release.

Drake Takes Pic With Glam Beanie & Pouty Selfie Becomes Instant Meme

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 04:01 GMT

Drake dropped two new Instagram photos late Friday night, a glittery selfie and a full-body mirror shot and within minutes, the internet turned it into a roast session. Wearing a rhinestone-covered cream beanie, a plush fur coat and loose khaki pants, Drake posed with a straight face and a downward camera angle that some users said looked more like a fragrance ad audition than a fashion flex. The comments came in fast, with people comparing the beanie to a DIY holiday ornament or something from the "special occasion" section at Michaels. His facial expression, a mix of pout and intensity, also drew attention. One user wrote he looked like he was "practicing his serious face in the mirror," while another said he resembled someone "trying to remember if they left the stove on."

DRAKE POSTED A SELFIE AND THE CAPTION JUST SAYS "..."

Drake and his Instagram pictures have long been a source of light-hearted commentary. When he debuted a heart-shaped haircut in 2021, social media quickly turned it into a meme factory, comparing it to Valentine's Day clip art. In October, his puffy curls sparked more jokes, with users saying he looked ready to headline a 2000s R&B video. And his red leather outfit paired with chrome nails became a multi-day meme marathon, with people calling him "expressive," "experimental" and "committed to the aesthetic, whatever it is." These new photos follow the same pattern: Drake posts something he clearly enjoys and the internet riffs on it with humor that feels more playful than cruel. is Drake's face just stuck like that permanently?

Roots Crew Member Mars Co-Op, Who Ripped "Clones" Dies

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 03:00 GMT

Mars Co-Op, the Philadelphia rapper who brought street authenticity to The Roots crew and co-founded Tali Up Boyz Records with the late Malik B, has died from unknown causes. Crew member Dice Raw confirmed the unfortunate news. Born and raised in Philadelphia, the artist, who also went by Black Caesar and M.A.R.S Co-Op, carved out his own lane while working with his Roots family members. Most heads know Mars from his memorable verse on "Clones" from The Roots' classic Illadelph Halflife album, where he spit alongside Black Thought and Malik B. But that track was just a glimpse into what this cat was really about. Mars wasn't your typical backpack rapper - he came from the streets and never tried to hide it. Watch Video on YouTube "I grew up in the streets. I didn't grow up poor or f_cked up._ I ran away from home, got out on the streets, shooting mofos, doing all types of sht. Luckily, at some point in my life, I did have a father. The music saved my life," Mars told AllHipHop in a 2012 interview. That realness is what separated Mars from the pack. While The Roots were building their reputation as conscious Hip-Hop intellectuals, Mars and his partner Malik B represented the grittier side of Philly's rap scene. They weren't trying to preach or educate - they were just telling their truth. "We brought the streets to The Roots. Early on, they was doing street festivals and stuff, and then me and Malik was doing stuff that our peoples liked. Me and Dice [Raw of The Roots] was from Logan, so our style was different. We was that street stuff," Mars explained. The partnership between Mars and Malik B ran deeper than just music. Together, they launched Tali Up Boyz Records, giving them the creative freedom that major labels couldn't. The label became their platform to speak without censorship or corporate interference. "That's why we got T.U.B. Records. We can say whatever we want," Malik B said about their independent venture. Mars understood the business side of Hip-Hop better than most. He watched how the industry tried to sanitize The Roots' message and decided to take control of his own narrative. Watch Video on YouTube Through T.U.B., he released projects like The Power's in the Tongue and his single "Black Caesar," showcasing the unfiltered perspective that set him apart. "I have a lot more information to give people when I spit; it's all reality to me. I don't write about other people's lives. Either you love it or hate it. We need another lane for this other type of music that we are making," Mars said. The Logan section of Philadelphia shaped Mars into the artist he became. Growing up alongside future Boyz II Men member Mike McCary and other local talents, he developed his craft in an environment where authenticity wasn't optional - it was survival. Mars' death comes just years after losing his creative partner and friend Malik B, who passed away in July 2020 at age 47. The two had been working together since the early days of The Roots, creating music that bridged the gap between street credibility and artistic integrity. The Hip-Hop world has lost another original voice, someone who proved you could be part of a legendary crew while maintaining your own identity. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/roots-crew-member-mars-co-op-who-ripped-clones-dies/

Donald Trump Closes Venezuelan Airspace Via Social Media, Gets Labeled A Colonizer

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 02:02 GMT

President Donald Trump stunned both Washington and Caracas on Saturday by abruptly declaring Venezuelan airspace closed to all flights, igniting diplomatic outrage and confusion among U.S. officials. The president made the announcement on Truth Social in all caps, writing: "TO ALL AIRLINES, PILOTS, DRUG DEALERS, AND HUMAN TRAFFICKERS, PLEASE CONSIDER THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY." The statement blindsided U.S. defense and diplomatic circles. According to Reuters, Pentagon officials declined to comment and the White House offered no clarification, leaving military analysts questioning whether this was symbolic rhetoric or a signal of imminent action. Venezuela's government quickly issued a sharp rebuke, calling Donald Trump's post a "colonialist threat" and denouncing it as a violation of international norms. In a formal statement, officials said the move "represents a hostile, unilateral and arbitrary act, incompatible with the principles of international law." This latest escalation adds fuel to Donald Trump's long-running standoff with Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela's embattled president. Maduro, in power since 2013, has accused President Trump of trying to orchestrate his removal. He's appeared frequently on state-run television, warning of U.S. imperialism, though he has avoided naming Trump directly, something diplomatic insiders interpret as a possible attempt to de-escalate. Watch Video on YouTube For nearly three months, U.S. forces have been conducting maritime operations in the Caribbean, targeting vessels suspected of drug trafficking. Trump has repeatedly linked Maduro to the drug trade, though Maduro denies any involvement. Earlier this week, Trump told U.S. troops the military would "very soon" begin ground operations targeting Venezuelan traffickers. He has also reportedly authorized covert CIA missions inside the country. The Venezuelan government also warned that Trump's move would disrupt deportation flights that have returned nearly 14,000 Venezuelans from the U.S. These flights, part of Trump's immigration crackdown, had been operating twice a week. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/donald-trump-closes-venezuelan-airspace-via-social-media-gets-labeled-a-colonizer/

Kim Kardashian Done Trying To Keep Kanye In Kids' Life - "He's Never Called Me"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 01:00 GMT

Kim Kardashian confronted two deeply personal issues on the latest episode of The Kardashians: a recent brain aneurysm scare and the emotional toll of raising four children without any direct communication from her ex-husband, Kanye West. During the November 27 episode, Kardashian told Scott Disick that, despite Kanye West's public claims to the contrary, he has made no effort to contact her. "He's never called me," she said bluntly, contradicting the rapper's frequent online posts that imply they're in regular contact. The 43-year-old entrepreneur also opened up about a recent health scare that added to her stress. A routine Prenuvo scan revealed a small aneurysm in her brain, prompting immediate medical attention. While she didn't elaborate on the outcome, the discovery clearly weighed on her. Disick responded with empathy, telling her, "I'm sorry for everything you're going through. It sounds really stressful." Kardashian, visibly overwhelmed, replied, "It's really hard. I just can't commit anymore. I think it's for the best." The conversation shifted to the impact of West's behavior on their children, North, 12; Saint, 9; Chicago, 7; and Psalm, 6. Kardashian emphasized that her priority is to maintain their emotional stability, even as she navigates the silence from their father. Watch Video on YouTube "Sometimes I feel like losing my temper, but I can't. I just can't," she said. "My job is to be strong for them." The former couple finalized their divorce in 2021 after seven years of marriage. Though West, who now goes by Ye, reportedly pays $200,000 a month in child support, Kardashian made it clear that financial contributions don't replace presence. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/kim-kardashian-done-trying-to-keep-kanye-in-kids-life-hes-never-called-me/

EXCLUSIVE: Cam'ron Hit With Lien, Will Have To Wait If He Gets Money From J. Cole

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 23:00 GMT

Cam'ron may be chasing a big payout from J. Cole over their 2024 collaboration, but a separate court ruling means he'll have to wait his turn, behind a photographer who already won a judgment against him. A federal lien filed by photographer Djamilla Rosa Cochran has legally frozen any potential earnings Cam'ron might receive from his ongoing lawsuit against Cole and Universal Music Group. The lien stems from a $51,221.50 judgment Cochran secured in February 2024 after successfully suing Cam'ron for copyright infringement. Cochran's lawsuit centered on the now-iconic image she captured of Cam'ron in a pink fur coat and matching hat during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in 2003. The photo, which became a pop culture staple, was allegedly used without permission on Dipset Couture merchandise ranging from hoodies to shower curtains. Despite repeated warnings from Getty Images, which licenses the photo, court documents say Cam'ron and his company Dipset Couture continued to use the image across websites and social media to market the products. A judge ruled in Cochran's favor after Cam'ron failed to respond to the complaint, ordering him to pay over $50,000 in damages and legal fees. Now, that judgment is being enforced through a lien, which attaches to any money Cam'ron might win in his separate lawsuit against Cole. In simple terms, if Cam'ron wins money from Cole, Cochran gets paid first. Filed in late October 2025, Cam'ron's lawsuit accuses Cole of breaching an agreement tied to the track "Ready '24" from Cole's 2024 project, Might Delete Later. According to court filings, Cam'ron says he recorded a verse for the song in June 2022 under the condition that Cole would either collaborate on a future track or appear on Cam'ron's sports show, It Is What It Is. He claims neither happened. Watch Video on YouTube Cam'ron also says he was promised final approval before the song's release and that he hasn't received proper credit or payment. While he is listed as a co-author of the composition, he says he's not credited as a performer or co-author of the sound recording. He's asking the court to declare him a co-author of the master recording and to order a full accounting of royalties and profits. He estimates he's owed at least $500,000. That figure, however, may be out of reach-at least temporarily. Though the lien may delay Cam'ron's potential payday, it doesn't reflect a financial crisis. The Harlem rapper has been vocal about his recent business wins, including a reported $20 million deal for It Is What It Is, which he launched in 2023 with a personal investment of around $120,000. He also has a multi-million-dollar partnership with Revolt for his Talk With Flee podcast and continues to profit from his male enhancement supplement brand, Pink Horsepower. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-camron-hit-with-lien-will-have-to-wait-if-he-gets-money-from-j-cole/

NLE The Great's "Hello Revenge" Sparks Wave Of Online Ridicule

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 22:00 GMT

NLE Choppa unleashed a diss track aimed at NBA YoungBoy Thursday night, but instead of applause, the internet erupted in laughter over his cowboy getup and awkward choreography. The Memphis rapper, now performing under the alias NLE The Great, dropped "Hello Revenge" on November 28, a four-minute verbal attack that was meant to escalate his ongoing feud with YoungBoy. But it wasn't the lyrics that got people talking, it was the visuals. Clad in a black cowboy hat, matching leather gloves, a bandana, and a full Western-inspired outfit, NLE strutted and moonwalked through the video with dance moves that many online said resembled a low-budget Michael Jackson impersonation. The video, directed by Bryson Potts and Travis Payne, was intended to be theatrical. Instead, it became meme material. Watch Video on YouTube "Can you imagine how hard it was to edit out the sounds of everybody laughing on the set

even the dude behind the camera was thinking 'are we really putting this out?'" one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Another viewer quipped, "Broseph needs to just come out of whatever closet he got that get up out of," referencing the name of the album, Fresh Out the Closet. The backlash didn't stop at the outfit or the choreography. Some questioned NLE's artistic direction and even his identity. "Idk what phase this n#### going through rn but it need to pass expeditiously," one person posted. In the track, NLE raps, "Rap went dead, I'ma bring it back alive / N####, I'm the truth, but the devil is a lie / YB, Louis V. belt to his spine / Anybody with him better get 'em 'fore he cross the line, n####." The bar about the belt references his previous video "KO," where he beat a YoungBoy lookalike with a designer belt. But even with the aggressive lyrics, the internet couldn't take the delivery seriously. "Hello Revenge" follows YoungBoy's "Zero IQ Freestyle." The rivalry between the two artists took off in music and videos in October with NLE's "KO," a diss that sampled 2Pac's "Hit Em Up" and labeled YoungBoy as "poison" to the youth. d in my hand, and I was Despite the serious tone of the feud, the internet's reaction to "Hello Revenge" has turned the moment into a spectacle.

Papoose's "Bars On Wheels" Redefines His Iconic Freestyle Legacy With Short Film

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 21:30 GMT

Papoose's Bars On Wheels arrives as a Wynn Records short film that captures the Brooklyn lyricist in a way audiences have never witnessed. The BK MC who turned car freestyles into internet must-sees now brings that same fire into a cinematic format built to amplify everything that makes his pen legendary. The YouTube video rapidly approaches a million views in under 24 hours. Watch Video on YouTube For years, Papoose's driver-seat rhyme dumps spread online with the force of controlled blasts, raw surgical precision and viral momentum. Each freestyle reminded the culture why skill still matters and why his name continues to resonate across generations of Hip-Hop listeners. Bars On Wheels takes that signature intensity and elevates it, reshaping the car-freestyle concept into something broader, richer, and visually charged. The film pushes past the cramped interior of a parked vehicle and deeper into Papoose's creative engine. This is a reintroduction. The short explores the root of his discipline, his devotion to structure and wordplay, and the relentless drive that made him one of Hip-Hop's most respected technicians. What once lived in a car window frame now expands into a full cinematic landscape. Tighten your seatbelt. Pap is back. Because Papoose isn't only celebrated for technical brilliance - he carries one of the sharpest and most emotionally resonant pens the culture has ever produced.

EXCLUSIVE: Jay-Z Spares Man Claiming To Be Son From Legal Spanking

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 20:00 GMT

Jay-Z closed the book on a 10-year paternity battle in Los Angeles federal court by winning outright dismissal and then choosing not to pursue attorney fees against Rymir Satterthwaite, the man who claimed to be his son. According to newly filed court records, the Hip-Hop mogul let a court-imposed deadline pass without requesting reimbursement for legal costs. Earlier this week, the judge officially shut down the case, confirming that no further action would be taken and that the window to seek fees had expired. The final filing came weeks after U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett tossed the lawsuit with prejudice on November 4, effectively blocking any future attempt to revive the same claims in federal court. The case was brought by paralegal Lillie Coley, the legal guardian and godmother of New Jersey resident Satterthwaite. Coley alleged that Jay-Z had avoided paternity testing for years and manipulated the legal system to dodge accountability. Her complaint mirrored Satterthwaite's long-standing claim that his late mother, Wanda, had a relationship with the rapper in the early 1990s. They argued Wanda was underage at the time, which they said made the situation more serious. Before landing in California, the case had already bounced through New Jersey courts for years. Wanda initially tried to bring a paternity suit there, but judges ruled the state didn't have jurisdiction to compel Jay-Z to participate. Later filings by Coley and Satterthwaite accused New Jersey officials of shielding a high-profile defendant and mishandling their claims. Earlier this year, Satterthwaite filed his own federal case, only to withdraw it with prejudice in July. Coley continued with her separate Los Angeles lawsuit, which Judge Garnett ultimately dismissed. By mid-2025, the court had grown weary. A July 31 order gave Jay-Z 30 days to file for attorney fees or risk the case being closed for good. A new order confirmed that the billionaire had never filed that motion, and the court closed the matter. Jay-Z's legal team had previously argued the claims were part of a "decades long" pattern of harassment and emphasized that multiple courts had already rejected them. Still, he declined to pursue a financial penalty against Satterthwaite, effectively sparing him from a potentially massive legal bill. As for Rymir Satterthwaite, he seems to want to keep poking the bear and doesn't seem to be getting the court's message as he continues to blast Jay-Z and the legal system.

Q Parker: 112 Reunion? Diddy Support? Solo Season? Biggie Vibes?

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 18:35 GMT

There are so many questions surrounding Q Parker, the storied member of 90s R&B group 112. Lucky for you, fair reader, we have the answers. First, Q is on a solo mission. With his new R&B album Evolution of Romance, the singing sensation continues a chapter that does not include his former bandmates. With the project, he discusses redefining masculinity and infuses the legacy of Bad Boy Records. The Atlanta-based singer reveals The Notorious B.I.G.'s influence, the early days at Bad Boy, and the emotional complexity of Sean "Diddy" Combs. go through his current legal turmoil. Parker also revealed that he played Diddy several songs from Evolution of Romance the day before the mogul was taken into custody - a moment that now carries even more weight as he reflects on loyalty, growth, and the evolution of his own artistry. Clearly tired from work and promo, Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur and Q chop it up over all the questions fans have including the reunion of the seminal group. AllHipHop: You've got a new album out - Evolution of Romance. Q Parker: Yes, yes. I'm really feeling good about it. I'm loving the energy around the project. I've coined myself "the romance dealer" because I'm out here campaigning and dealing this romance to those who want it, need it, and want to incorporate it into their relationships. We're going door to door, city to city, pushing this romance. AllHipHop: You sound like a dealer... not that kind of dealer, but like Herbalife or Avon or Tupperware. Q Parker: (Laughs) Avon and Tupperware - I'll take that. AllHipHop: I like the approach. Hand-to-hand. Why do you think that's important? Watch Video on YouTube Q Parker: Because people still want to feel something. They want a real experience with the artist. Everything now is fast-paced and non-social, even though we live in a social media world. People still want real social interaction. I love the road. I love virtual interviews too, but I really enjoy being face-to-face. With a mission centered around romance, adding the physical component is a winning combination. I'm committed to it. AllHipHop: I really wished we could've connected in New York. That was internal stuff on our side, so I apologize. Q Parker: All good. No need for an apology. AllHipHop: When you talk about romance and men, it gets tricky. What advice would you give men in 2025 to do better? Q Parker: Presence. And don't be afraid to operate in all the qualities and characteristics we were blessed with. We've got to get rid of stigmas, "don't cry," "don't be sensitive," "don't be vulnerable." We are our best selves when we're vulnerable, sensitive, and expressing true emotions. Getting rid of those compartments does a disservice to us and to our relationships. AllHipHop: Yeah, it's a delicate balance. Women want both sides. They want you to be able to defend them if something goes down, but they don't want you too hardcore or crossing into toxic masculinity. Q Parker: Exactly. There's a time to be tough and direct, but also a time to listen, receive, and be delicate with the person you love. We've got to tap into everything that makes us who we are - not just the toughness, but the sensitivity too. READ ALSO: Q Parker Stands By Diddy, Says Big Comeback Is Inevitable AllHipHop: You came up in an era where hip-hop and R&B were blowing up together. What are your thoughts now - individually and together? Q Parker: Each genre should be respected for what it is. There's a time and place for all of it. You don't have to love one and hate the other. 112 was hip-hop and R&B - we could do both. Fans loved that blend. Both genres are necessary. If we let them operate in their greatness, we'll be okay. AllHipHop: What are your thoughts on the state of R&B now? Q Parker: I respect it. I give grace and space to the artists creating today versus my era. I'm sure when we came out in 1996, the O'Jays or the Whispers didn't love our version of R&B. But they gave us space to interpret the genre our way. Now, as an elder statesman, I won't condemn something just because it's not what I rock with. I don't have to love it, but I always respect it. AllHipHop: Back in the day, I was hardcore hip-hop - as you can see, I'm wearing a Wu-Tang hat. But I liked 112, and Biggie was amazing. What was Big's impact on 112 and your success? What was it like working with him? Q Parker: Man...where do I start? Biggie impacted my life in a major way. I'll always feel indebted to him. He introduced us to the world and stamped us as soon as he rhymed on our first single. That was the best introduction anyone could get. Outside the music, he had a gentle, big heart. He made sure we had money in our pockets, food in the studio, access to phones - whatever we needed. He bought us our first goose-down coats during the '96 Blizzard because we were from the South and didn't know cold like that. He had us laced in Brooklyn Mint. He'd hand us $100s just because. As teenagers, that was huge. Listen on Spotify AllHipHop: You took me back with that '96 Blizzard. Only time I ever got stranded in the snow. Q Parker: (Laughs) Yeah, man. AllHipHop: Of course, we've got to talk about Diddy. But before that, let me ask about Bad Boy in general. Y'all were the youngest on the roster, but still a force. What was your overall experience? Q Parker: It was exciting - and nerve-wracking. We really were a family. We looked after each other. Supported each other in the studio and on the road. Bad Boy was the sweet spot. We accomplished a lot. AllHipHop: Earlier this year you said seeing Diddy the way he is now was "hurtful." It's been a few months. How do you feel now? Q Parker: I still feel the same. I don't believe in cancel culture. When someone makes a mistake, you don't just throw them away. When I'm down with you, I'm down with you. That doesn't mean I condone your behavior - it means I support you. Whether it's walking with you through rehab or writing letters to someone you harmed. Nobody's perfect, and I don't have a heaven or hell to put anyone in. I'm not going to be super judgmental about someone who changed my life. AllHipHop: Have you had any communication with Diddy? Q Parker: The day before he was taken away, he gave me his blessings on Evolution of Romance. I played him 3-4 songs to get his opinion. I still hold him in high regard. He has an incredible musical ear. That ended up being the day before he was taken away. AllHipHop: I'm sure y'all worked closely in the early days. Q Parker: Absolutely. I learned so much from him - marketing, promotion, how to work hard. I still carry those lessons and pass them on to people I mentor today. AllHipHop: I'm seeing little videos. It looks like he's ready for a comeback. It's crazy, but it might be epic. Q Parker: Knowing him, whenever he's released, there'll be a celebration. He doesn't do anything small. I look forward to seeing him celebrated - and celebrating. AllHipHop: Pivoting a little - two members of 112 were on Tamron Hall recently. And two members of Total. Two incomplete groups being presented as the groups. Fans are calling for a reunion. We're approaching 30 years. What are your thoughts? Watch Video on YouTube Q Parker: I'm always open and hopeful for a reconcile and a reunion - celebrating what we did. I ask the fans to be patient, and also give me space and grace because I'm on a singular journey right now. It's not either/or - there can be a 112 reunion and people can support Q Parker. AllHipHop: It feels like you are getting love - live and musically. But people still want that nostalgia. Q Parker: And I'm not mad at that. Nostalgia is real. But we can't stay there - we also have to evolve. I don't want to look back one day wishing I'd done more. AllHipHop: Respectfully, I hope you can do both - New Edition-style. Group thing, solo thing. Has there been any communication? A 30-year reunion has financial opportunities too. Q Parker: I've reached out multiple times personally and through third parties. I haven't gotten a response. I haven't spoken to Mike and Slim in a while. But I remain hopeful. I'd love a reunion more than the fans would. But I can't get stuck in that. I'm romance dealing right now with a new project. I keep a little space open in case a reunion happens, but until then, I have to move forward. AllHipHop: One of my friends - Nicole, who used to work for Russell Simmons - asked: What was Bad Boy like after Biggie died? Q Parker: Very sad. Big and Craig Mack were the foundations. As the "starting five" - Craig, Big, Faith, Total, and 112 - losing our big brother changed everything. The walls were quiet. He filled every room with his voice and humor. Losing him led to us recording "I'll Be Missing You" as an outlet. I'm proud that our connection ties us to the story of hip-hop and R&B forever. AllHipHop: Another rumor...did Def Jam ever court you? Q Parker: After our Bad Boy deal, we signed to Def Jam. We did two albums there. We were free agents after album three and wanted to test the waters. Def Jam made us an offer we couldn't refuse. Watch Video on YouTube AllHipHop: Business-wise, now that you're independent and know both systems, what's the difference? Q Parker: Knowledge. When you know better, you do better. Understanding the industry, the indie side - it all leads to more success. I mirror what I saw at record companies. My team, Paramount Collective Ventures, meets weekly like the labels used to: marketing updates, radio, street team, promotions. I run my independent journey the same way. AllHipHop: And you're in your content space, which I love. What prompted you to create that? Q Parker: Because I can't get to every city. I want Zoom and virtual calls to feel personal, like you're kicking it with your homie. Good dialogue, good conversation. AllHipHop: What's something people don't know about you? Q Parker: I'm a researcher of music. I study documentaries, success, and failures. And I love carpentry. I've got every tool Home Depot sells. My house is full of stuff I built myself. AllHipHop: I respect that. My dad was a carpenter. He built our house. I didn't get all his talent, but some. Will you create other content in the space? Q Parker: Absolutely. My studio, film space, editing. I do TikTok Live weekly. I can shoot photos. It's a multipurpose room where I can get things done without outsourcing. AllHipHop: The platforms have changed...TV, radio replaced by YouTube, Spotify, algorithms. My algorithm almost never sends me R&B. What's life like for you in the digital algorithm? Q Parker: I understand evolution. We can't stay the same. It's about knowledge, understanding the system, finding loopholes, and mastering what you do. The goal is to get the music into as many houses and hearts as possible, physically, digitally, or socially. You can't ignore it. AllHipHop: I appreciate your time. The game needs classic R&B, not Hip-Hop-R&B hybrids or melodic rappers. Respect to them, but we need what you do. (Jokes on a last massive yawn.) Q Parker: (Laughs) Man, when you're romance dealing, it's early mornings and late nights. But every opportunity to talk about my project, whether it's an introduction or a reintroduction. I don't take it lightly. Brick by brick is our motto. Everyone counts. I give everyone the necessary time so they can be champions of this romance evolution. Thank you for your time. AllHipHop: Thank you, brother. Take care. Hope to see you down the road. Q Parker: Absolutely. Let's make it happen.

Biggie Has Gone Viral, But Thanksgiving Should Hold This Rumor

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 18:30 GMT

Gravy and Thanksgiving rumors go hand-in-hand, but we are not taking about your Glammy's leftovers. We're talking about a beloved Hip-Hop icon and a man who once portrayed him on the big screen. The Notorious B.I.G., forever etched into the granite of Hip-Hop history, is no longer walking this Earth, yet his influence keeps echoing. And right in the middle of that echo chamber is the actor who played him, Jamal "Gravy" Woolard. Now, let's be real. Gravy did his thing in Notorious, but the movie didn't exactly send shockwaves through Hollywood's box office. Still, the man stayed grinding. He reinvented himself, leaned into acting, and built such a lane on Tubi that folks joke runs it. So, we applaud the pivot. But this new rumor popping up online...people are not clapping. Word on the curb claims he's out here performing as Biggie. Not performing Biggie songs in tribute, but performing as Biggie. If you take the headline at face value, they're saying he's "selling out shows" as the Notorious B.I.G. See below. Let's process this for a second. A sold-out show? For who? For what? If we're talking a venue that holds maybe 300 to 500 people, OK, cool. That's a solid night, especially for a walk-through or a brief performance. But let's not act like this man is doing 90 minutes of "Juicy" and "One More Chance." That's fan fiction...gotta be! What likely happened is simple. He popped up at a club. The DJ dropped a Biggie classic. The crowd vibed. Maybe he grabbed the mic. And somebody whipped out a phone and the internet cooked up a clickable headline. If Gravy were out here trying to make an actual touring act based on Biggie's persona, the estate would have lawyers parachuting into his living room. LOL! Ain't no way. Cease and desist letters everywhere. Nobody is risking Christmas with Biggie's estate. And honestly, Gravy has moved on. He doesn't even go by "Gravy" anymore. It's Jamal Woolard these days. He's built a career on his own two feet, not Biggie's shadow. So, hold the gravy on that jive-turkey rumor. HA! That's the rumor. Slice it how you want. I can keep doing these T-day themed rumors if y'all want.

Stefon Diggs Makes Shocking Statement About Cardi B

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 18:01 GMT

Cardi B was casually labeled "mi esposa" by Stefon Diggs in a video that quickly lit up social media, intensifying speculation that the rapper and NFL star may have quietly gotten married. The clip shows Diggs referring to Cardi as "my wife" in Spanish while chatting casually. The moment was brief but loud enough to send the internet into overdrive. Neither Cardi nor Diggs has addressed the comment publicly, but the video has only stoked the growing speculation that they might already be married. Stefon Diggs all smiles as he addresses Cardi B as his wife in Spanish while requesting for a hoodie for her and their newborn son

pic.twitter.com/hzvP62UfBC — Red Media (@RedMedia_us) November 27, 2025 The chatter started after eagle-eyed fans spotted a ring on Cardi B's left finger in pictures she posted while holding her son. The Bronx-born rapper has historically kept her personal life under tight control, but the ring and Diggs's comments are making people wonder if something major happened behind the scenes. pic.twitter.com/dnH3XdsNM7 — Cardi B (@iamcardib) November 28, 2025 Their relationship, which began in late 2023, reached a climax after Cardi B delivered earlier this month, on November 4. Cardi made the announcement almost two weeks later. What should have been a celebration took a sharp turn after Diggs confirmed the paternity of another baby and Offset, Cardi's estranged husband and father of her three children, jokingly claimed Cardi's latest kid was his, since they are technically still married. That did not go over well. Cardi B accused Offset of abuse; he apologized and eventually deactivated his Instagram account. As for Cardi, she is handling the drama very well. This year has been great for Cardi, who dropped her second album, Am I The Drama?, to critical acclaim and added a new member to her family. "This year I have sooo much to be thankful for!!! I can't thank God enough," Cardi B wrote on X.com. "Thankful for all the hard work I put in and paid off wit a successful album, thankful for my fans around the world...I don't even like callin yall fans more like third cousins around the globe...thankful for the people that believe in my work and business so they put 100% behind me, thankful for my friends that are always there for me, thankful for my village that love my kids so much, thankful for my kids that I love soo much... I love studying their personalities and I learn something new from them everyday, thankful for a safe delivery and this lil boy that stole my heart...and thankful for love."

Marquaythegoat - New Details On Death That Has Left Millions Heartbroken

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 17:00 GMT

Popular TikTok influencer Marquaythegoat died in Columbus after experiencing serious breathing trouble just weeks after a car crash in Atlanta that left him dealing with persistent pain. The 24-year-old TikTok creator, born Marquay Collins, was found unresponsive at his Georgia home earlier this week. Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan confirmed the death, noting that Collins had recently complained of headaches and other symptoms following a car accident earlier in the month. According to Bryan, Marquaythegoat "had been involved in an auto accident in Atlanta earlier this month and then began complaining of headaches and other pains." The official cause of death has not yet been released. Marquaythegoat had amassed over 7 million TikTok followers with his upbeat food reviews, comedy sketches and everyday moments that connected with viewers across the country. @marquaythegoat Replying to @So Local I needed that! #xyzbca #fyp #lotion ? original sound - HELICOPTER MAN

His content often spotlighted local eateries and Georgia culture, helping him build a loyal following while staying rooted in his hometown of Columbus. His mother, Sonja Collins, who also has a significant TikTok presence with more than 4 million followers, announced the devastating news in a heartfelt post. "My heart is broken. My baby, my last one, my SnuggaBug, my Marquay, is no longer here with me. He was the sweetest person he didn't have a mean bone in his body. I needed him longer than God allowed me to have him," she wrote. He was recently profiled by the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, which called him "one of the most successful content creators by any metric." His mother shared another message on Thanksgiving morning, reflecting on her grief and her son's faith. "I am grieving. Yes I'm going to post my baby, I love him and I miss him. My heart is broken, one day it will heal but I will still miss my son Marquay. Matthew 5:4 Tbh, if I didn't go to church, I don't know where I would be.

'Worst Hinge date ever': Miami woman goes to her hometown. Then she matches with an Italian soccer p

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 17:00 GMT

A Miami woman visiting Kansas City breaks down the 'worst' first Hinge date she's ever been on. From the tone of the comments section, she isn't the only one frustrated with the current dating scene. "I've never had a first date go this bad," said TikTok creator Daisy (@sunny_daze222) in a video she posted on Nov. 4. In the video, Daisy explains that while she is a single mother, she doesn't include it in her dating profile to avoid attracting people with bad intentions. However, she does include the information on social media and always shares her Instagram before a date. Miami Woman Details Hinge Date with Italian Soccer Player In this case, Daisy made plans to go on a date with an Italian soccer player who she met on Hinge. When they exchanged Instagram handles, she noticed that he only had about 100 followers. But she interpreted this as a green flag indicating that he doesn't spend a lot of time online. Unfortunately, the date didn't start out well, because his looks didn't match his profile. "He didn't look bad, he just didn't look like his pictures," she explains. Beyond appearance, she also says they were not compatible. The conversation was stale, she said. "So terrible." "This was the weirdest first date I've ever been on," she adds, mentioning that she kept trying to have a conversation and he hardly responded. "And we sat there for two hours having the driest conversation ever." Does This Experience Represent a Dating Trend? In the comments section, viewers expressed frustration with the state of the dating world and apps. "It's always the Hinge dates I swear," wrote one commenter. "I went on one and never did again." "I haven't heard one good thing about Hinge," wrote another. Other commenters weighed in on navigating the dating world as a single parent. "I'm a single mom so my time is limited and I definitely don't like wasting it on a bad date," wrote one person. "So I like to FaceTime them a few times before meeting in person to see if there's a connection there. It's worked pretty well for me! I haven't had a bad date since." Daisy's experience is not just anecdotal, but reflects a broader trend in the world of online dating. According to recent data from SSRS, 39% of U.S. adults have used a dating site or app, though only 7% say they're actively using one right now. Nearly 65% of 18-29-year-olds report having used a dating app at some point. But even as usage remains high among young people, satisfaction is slipping. Forbes Health reports that among current and recent users, 44% say they're on apps to find a long-term partner, while 40% are in it for more casual dating, yet many still feel like they're getting nothing out of their swipes. On top of that, burnout is real. A substantial portion of users report using their apps less frequently than before. In 2024, 33% of users said they were using dating apps less often than in previous years. All Hip Hop reached out to Daisy via TikTok direct messages and Hinge via email for comment. @sunny_daze222 He also asked the waiter to bring the drink out in a specific kind of cup and that pmo #foryou #singlemom #dating #firstdate #hinge #cringe #baddate #storytime #grwm ? original sound - DAISY

Max B Links With French Montana For "Coke Wave 3.5 Studio: Narcos" Comeback

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 16:00 GMT

Max B is hitting the ground running in Newark after walking out of Northern State Prison on November 9. Max just revealed he's linking up with French Montana to revive their Coke Wave series with a fresh installment titled Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos. The Harlem-born rapper wasted no time reconnecting with French and longtime producer Harry Fraud, sharing footage from their studio session that confirmed the long-awaited reunion. The trio's chemistry appears untouched by time, reigniting a sound that helped define New York's underground Hip-Hop scene in the late 2000s. Max B had spent 16 years behind bars after being convicted in connection with a deadly robbery attempt in New Jersey. His original 75-year sentence was reduced in 2016 after his legal team successfully challenged the trial on grounds of a conflict of interest. He was released at age 47. Now free, Max B is diving headfirst into music. His new solo album, Public Domain 7: The First Purge (Patient Zero), is set to drop on December 3, led by the single "No More Tricks," produced by Dame Grease. Listen on Spotify The Coke Wave mixtapes have long been a staple in both artists' catalogs. Their 2009 debut tape helped launch French Montana's career and cemented Max B's influence on the wavy sound that swept through Hip-Hop in the 2010s. Their 2019 track "Coke Wave Boys," featuring the late Chinx, became a street favorite, and songs like "The New Wave" and "Been Around" blended street tales with melodic hooks. Even while incarcerated, Max B remained active musically. He dropped Negro Spirituals in 2021 and collaborated with French Montana on "Hold On" in 2019.

Tupac Embraced A Deal With The Devil" To Escape Prison

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 15:01 GMT

Tupac Shakur signed his Death Row Records contract inside a New York prison and told a corrections officer he didn't care if the devil himself got him out. That's the claim made by Michael Christopher, a former corrections officer at Clinton Correctional Facility, who recounts his personal interactions with Shakur during the rapper's 1995 incarceration in his memoir Tupac Behind Bars. According to Christopher, Tupac Shakur was visibly excited the day he inked his deal with Suge Knight and attorney David Kenner, who visited him at the prison to finalize the contract. The agreement secured his $1.4 million bail and brought him into the Death Row fold. "He came over to my desk, which he did quite often," Christopher said. "He showed me the contract because he was pretty proud of it. And he goes, 'Do you know what this is?' And I'm like, 'No.' And he's like, 'I just signed a contract with Death Row, and that's Suge Knight, and blah, blah, blah. I'm going to get the money for my bail.'" Christopher congratulated him, but added a warning: "Just be careful because you might have sold your soul to the devil." Shakur laughed and responded, "Oh, you mean like Robert Johnson, right? At the crossroads?" Christopher confirmed the reference, telling him, "Just be careful because he might call in his chips." Shakur didn't flinch. He replied, "I don't care if I signed a soul with the devil. As long as the devil can get me out of here, I don't care who I sign with." Christopher believes that moment stuck with Shakur, especially since he later received a rare photograph from the rapper with the phrase "See you at the crossroads" written across the top. The phrase echoes the legendary tale of blues musician Robert Johnson, who, according to folklore, met the devil at a crossroads to trade his soul for musical genius. Christopher, who spoke with Tupac Shakur during visits and downtime, said the rapper was well aware of the Johnson legend. "He was quite familiar with Robert Johnson already anyway," Christopher said. "So he was like, 'Damn.' He says, 'Yeah.' He says, 'I guess maybe.' But he said he wasn't worried." Johnson's story has long been part of American music mythology. According to the legend, he left town as a mediocre guitarist and returned a year later with unearthly skills. The price for that talent, the story goes, was his soul-and Johnson died young, at age 27. Christopher said he saw a parallel in Shakur's situation. "He left town for a while, and then I think it was like a year or so later, the devil cashed it in," he said, referring to Johnson. "And eventually he had died young. And I was just concerned with Tupac about the same kind of parallel." At the time of their conversation, Shakur was in the middle of serving a sentence for sexual abuse. The financial burden of incarceration had taken a toll on him, and he had shared his struggles with Christopher. "I knew that being in prison had financially strained him somewhat," Christopher said. "He had told me he was going through a lot of money." That's why, when Shakur returned to the visiting area after signing the contract, Christopher remarked, "Looks like you're back in business." He grinned and replied, "Yeah." Christopher's book, Tupac Behind Bars, is billed as the only title focused solely on the rapper's time at Clinton Correctional Facility. It offers a first-person view from a corrections officer who says he earned Shakur's trust, delivering stories from inside the prison walls that explore how the Hip-Hop icon coped with fame, pressure and confinement. The memoir avoids a traditional biography format and instead presents a narrative account of daily life behind bars, including Tupac's interactions with staff and other inmates. Christopher's recollections add another layer to the complex story of Tupac Shakur's time with Death Row, a label that would both elevate his career and entangle him in deeper conflicts. Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in September 1996, less than a year after his release. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/tupac-embraced-a-deal-with-the-devil-to-escape-prison/

Juvenile Says His Viral "Car Raps" Are Fueling a New Chapter in His Career

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 14:25 GMT

Juvenile is finding fresh momentum in one of the simplest places imaginable: the front seat of his car. The New Orleans rap icon, known for classics like "Ha," "Slow Motion" and other hits, says his recent habit of posting short freestyle-style clips while driving has unexpectedly created a new lane of fan engagement. Several of the videos have crossed two and three million views each - with one recent clip hitting four million. "I've been posting these little flows riding in the car, and they've been going crazy," Juvenile told AllHipHop during a recent conversation. "This one in particular hit four million. I'm getting ready to drop it. It's called 'Me B,' featuring a girl named Genesis the Gawd. It's crazy." The steady stream of "car raps" has introduced Juvenile to a new generation of listeners while reactivating longtime fans who first embraced him during Cash Money Records' late-1990s run. The phenomenon also underscores the rapper's enduring ability as a general of the culture. Watch Video on YouTube Juvenile says the freewheeling style behind the clips isn't a departure from his creative DNA. He compared the process to the "beautiful chaos" he and producer Mannie Fresh tapped into while crafting 400 Degreez, the platinum album that helped solidify the sound of Southern rap in the mainstream. "Mannie kept changing the beat and I kept changing how I wanted it," he said. "Chaos turns into something great. That's how it's always been." The rapper also reflected on the early skepticism he faced from listeners unfamiliar with New Orleans' sound. His breakout track "Ha" confused some Northern audiences at first, but its originality, paired with massive radio support, pushed it into heavy rotation nationally. "I knew it was something that would grow on people," Juvenile said. "I was hoping they heard it so many times it would ruin them." Now, decades later, he's watching a similar phenomenon unfold. His car-shot verses, delivered casually through the lens of a phone, have become appointment viewing on social media. And Juvenile, 49, has no plans to slow down. "This Juvenile thing - I'm not stopping," he said.

'If the man asks you for money he doesn't like you': American woman visits German beach club. Then s

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 14:00 GMT

When a Dallas-based woman went on vacation in Denmark, she got swept up in a romance with the seemingly perfect man. In a 26-part TikTok series, she reveals how this man scammed her, and viewers are shocked. On Nov. 14, TikTok creator Onyeka Ehie (@Onyekaehie), of The Bachelor fame, posted the first part of a long series titled "The Danish Deception." The series has set the internet aflame, with the first video already amassing over 7.4 million views as of Sunday. American Woman Meets German Man at Beach Club This whirlwind tale has more plot twists than the average person could imagine. She describes meeting her soon-to-be ex-fianc on a trip to Europe in 2022. He claimed to be a former Olympian, with royal Danish ancestry, and a high-earning tech executive. Their relationship progressed quickly as she frequently traveled with him and they spent Christmas together. By April 2024, the couple was engaged. Over time, she says that red flags would not stop piling up. Ehie says she lent him more than $30,000 to help with his "temporary" money problems. She later alleged he had a serious gambling addiction, and she discovered he'd also borrowed money from her family, including her parents and sister. Ehie explained that she felt comfortable sending him money because of how generous he was at other points in the relationship. "There were a lot of times he didn't have money in his account, but when he did he was very generous with it," she says. Ehie said her goal in sharing this story isn't just to get attention, but to warn others. She even claims that since posting, many other people have come to her with similar accusations against him. "My goal is to get this man in prison," says Ehie. "He does not deserve to be a part of society, and I'm trying to build up as much evidence as I possibly can." Viewers React to the Saga Overwhelmingly, the comments were shocked by Ehie's saga. However, viewers were enthralled by this 3-hour+ TikTok series, fascinated by how this happened. "Baby, this is worse than Reesa Teesa," wrote one commenter. They are referring to a similarly viral TikTok series titled "Who TF did I marry." "Girl, Netflix is going to buy your story," commented another "What am I supposed to do with my life now??" asked one comment. This refers to the fact that she finally finished watching every installment of Ehie's story. All Hip Hop reached out to Ehi for comment via TikTok direct messages for comment. @onyekaehie The Danish Deception: Part 1 #danishdeception #fyp #series ? original sound - Onyeka Ehie .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/newsbreak/american-woman-german-beach-club/

Cardi B Trends Over Intense Scrutiny Of Balut Video Showing Neck

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 13:00 GMT

Cardi B became the topic of viral debate after a resurfaced TikTok video of her eating balut eggs reignited speculation about recent cosmetic surgery. The March 2024 clip, which initially showed the Bronx rapper respectfully trying the Filipino delicacy for the first time, resurfaced on social media this week. But this time, viewers weren't focused on her reaction to the food; instead, they were scrutinizing her face and neck for signs of surgical tweaks. Damn fans exposed Cardi b for getting face surgery pic.twitter.com/7t4DBboK3O —

(@kalpriss) November 28, 2025 In the video, as she tilted her head back to eat the balut, a noticeable area just above her throat caught the internet's attention. That moment sparked a wave of commentary, with critics tossing around terms like "new face" and suggesting she had undergone additional facial procedures. Supporters, however, were quick to remind onlookers that Cardi has long been open about her cosmetic enhancements. The Grammy-winning rapper has consistently spoken about her body modifications, comparing them to changing hairstyles. The 31-year-old has a well-documented history with plastic surgery. She got breast implants at 19, followed by breast augmentation and liposuction in 2018 after giving birth to her daughter, Kulture. Most recently, Cardi revealed she had another round of butt injection removals. "In January right after I shot 'Like What,' I went and got surgery," she said during an Instagram Live. "I got some more butt injections removed because you know it takes rounds to get your butt injections removed, and I also went to fix certain things with my fibrosis." Her experience with biopolymer injections dates back to 2014, when she received them in a basement, a decision she's since warned others not to repeat. In 2022, she said she had removed 95 percent of the biopolymers, which doctors have flagged as dangerous and potentially life-threatening, often causing complications like fibrosis. Cardi has also been transparent about undergoing rhinoplasty, liposuction and other facial procedures over the years. Her reason for being upfront? She values honesty. "It was important for me because I don't like lying about things," she said in a 2019 interview. "Like when you see somebody that had lipo you think that they just go into the doctor's and like boop, you come out and you look amazing, but it's actually like a very long process, recovery." Although Cardi hasn't confirmed any recent facial work, her track record suggests she'd likely address it directly if she had. The balut video remains a trending topic, fueling broader conversations about appearance, transparency and the relentless public gaze on women in the spotlight. Still looks way better than cardis REAL face

'Central Market, Hill Country Fair, Higher Harvest': Texas woman works for H-E-B. Then she comes for

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 11:00 GMT

A recently retired H-E-B employee reveals the biggest misconceptions about the brand and its private label offerings. Here's why she is unabashedly biased towards the Texas retailer. TikTok creator Brittany (@briztx) posted the "very lengthy PSA" last week. "I have a confession to make," she said. "I worked for HEB collectively for 17 years." Four of those she spent in-store when she was a student in high school and college. After she got her degree, she took a break for a few years, and then later returned to H-E-B where she worked in procurement and food product development. Brittany retired from H-E-B in June of this year. Not because she didn't love the work anymore, but because she is the survivor of two different cancers and she decided to focus on her family, which includes three young children. "You just kind of have to take a step back and take a minute and a breather," she said, while acknowledging that H-E-B was incredibly supportive of her during the five-year cancer battle. What Does This Former H-E-B Employee Love About the Brand? Brittany's work with the food product development team gave her an insight into how the grocer supplies the products that are sold under its private label brand names. "That's the team that creates the products that are in the HEB, Central Market, Hill Country Fair, Higher Harvest-all the brands," she said. "So, because of this, sure, I'm biased about HEB's products. About the quality, the flavor, the expectations of a product on a shelf. Where I would say several other grocers don't when it comes to their private label products." She acknowledged that she is "heavily biased" and said her own family members would attest to that fact. However, she said there's a good reason for that. "You know too much about ingredients," said Brittany. "You know too much about the effort and energy that goes into something. But also HEB cares. They care about the customer. They care about the food that they are serving to Texans. Because, ultimately, at the end of the day health and happiness is the most important. But really food insecurity is the most important and being able to afford your food." The 'Biggest' Misconception About H-E-B's Private Label Brands Then Brittany offered what she believes is the most common misconception when it comes to this topic. "Nothing upsets me more than when I hear people saying, 'I mean, all food products are the same. They're just slapping their name on an item,'" she said. "No, no, no. When I tell you about the caliber and expertise of the individuals working at H-E-B. It's astounding. A lot of people don't even know this exists. But there are food scientists that work for H-E-B. These people go to school for food development." She continued, "There's food science. There's chemical engineers that work at H-E-B. These are the incredibly talented, incredibly smart individuals who are putting products into these brands. And they're not just slapping a label on it. There are standards. I'm not going to go into classified information, if you will, and give away all their trade secrets. But what I will just say is H-E-B is in a caliber of its own." She said that H-E-B has over 13 of its own manufacturing facilities. That allows it to make many of the foods it sells under its own brand names. "I think the biggest misnomer is a lot of people think Frito Lay makes HEB's chips, and that's not the case," she said. "HEB has their own manufacturing facility for chips, for ice cream. These aren't recipes that HEB reverse engineered. These are receipts that the food scientists created with help of the [research and development] teams that work at the labs." How does that make a difference? "When Blue Bell was off shelves and it was unsafe?" she said. "HEB stayed on. And it was safe for the customers to consume. HEB led the forefront in removing artificial flavors from their ice cream. So I think there's just a lot that consumers don't know. HEB is where it's at." Viewers React to the Texas Woman's H-E-B PSA In the comments section of the video, viewers made it clear that Brittany isn't the only one with a healthy dose of H-E-B love flowing through her veins. "You're making me want to leave public education and go work for H-E-B," wrote one person. "I drive past like 10+ stores just to get to H-E-B," said a second viewer. "H-E-B doesn't care about us as customers, they care about us as people," wrote a third person. "Their actions speak volumes: Helping the community, environment, employees, etc. All Hip Hop contacted Brittany via TikTok comment and direct message for comment. @briztx A very lengthy PSA that NO ONE asked for but was heavy on my heart. This is my version of a love letter to H-E-B as an ex-partner. H-E-B is always on the tips of peoples' lips with lots of opinions and incorrect facts so just want to get a couple of things straight here! Without divulging confidential information - BOY could I go on about all the things the public has wrong. #heb #texas #food #themoreyouknow #branding @H-E-B ? original sound - Brittany .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/newsbreak/former-heb-employee-private-labels/

Kim Kardashian Has Holes In Her Brain Scan Reveals

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 08:00 GMT

Kim Kardashian received a jarring reality check during a recent episode of The Kardashians when a brain scan revealed what her doctor described as "holes" in her brain activity, just as she was deep into preparations for the California bar exam. The SKIMS mogul sat down with Dr. Daniel Amen, a psychiatrist known for using brain imaging to assess mental health, who broke down the scan results in blunt terms. "The low activity meant the front part of her brain wasn't firing the way it should," Dr. Amen told Kardashian, who appeared visibly rattled by the findings. The scan showed reduced function in key areas responsible for focus, decision-making and memory, a fierce blow for someone trying to pass one of the most grueling professional exams in the country. Kardashian, who had previously been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, initially dismissed the scan's implications. But Dr. Amen linked the diminished brain activity to the immense pressure she's been under while studying. "It's stress," he explained, connecting the dots between her academic grind and neurological fatigue. Watch Video on YouTube At first, Kardashian believed the aneurysm stemmed from the emotional toll of her drawn-out divorce from Kanye West, which had played out under the glare of public scrutiny. But over time, it became clear that the relentless pace of her legal studies was taking its own toll. Her intense bar prep routine, long hours, high stakes, and little rest had become more than just a mental strain. According to Dr. Amen, it was physically altering how her brain functions. The scan's "holes" weren't literal gaps, but areas of low activity that could impact her ability to retain information and make quick decisions. For Kardashian, who has already failed the bar exam, that's a concerning obstacle. Dr. Amen didn't leave her without tools. He offered her strategies to manage her stress and improve cognitive function. But the reality remains: Kardashian is stuck in a loop where the very act of studying harder may be making it harder to succeed. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/kim-kardashian-has-holes-in-her-brain-scan-reveals/

Khloe Kardashian The Question Everyone Wants To Know About Kylie Jenner's Boobs

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 07:00 GMT

Khloe Kardashian didn't hold back during the latest episode of The Kardashians, dropping a bold comment about her sister Kylie Jenner while filming a promo for a body-swap movie campaign. While shooting a skit for Freakier Friday, a play on the Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis classic, Khloe was asked in a confessional which sibling she'd trade places with for a day. Her answer? Kylie, of course. "I would Freaky Friday with Kylie. I would do that because it is Kylie Jenner. We have cool friends. We have fun animals. We live in a fairy tale," she said, before adding a pointed remark that turned heads. "We're not dating basketball players (because) we are going to the game court side. (Kylie) is a little bit of Snow White but a little bit of Pretty Woman. Also, I would love to know what those boobs feel like." Watch Video on YouTube Kylie, 28, didn't flinch at the comment. "I'm OK with that. I decided," she told producers with a shrug. The Kylie Cosmetics founder previously revealed she underwent breast augmentation in 2017, just before getting pregnant with her daughter Stormi Webster. "I got my breasts done before Stormi... not thinking I would have a child when I was 20," she explained during a 2023 episode of The Kardashians. "Like, they were still healing. I had beautiful breasts. Natural t**s. Just gorgeous. Perfect size, perfect everything. And I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about it to wait until after children." Kylie shares Stormi, now 7, and son Aire, 3, with rapper Travis Scott, her former partner. Khloe, 41, has joked before about swapping lives with another sister, Kendall Jenner, in a previous season of the show. "I want to be a supermodel, going around town, I could hook up with this person, not that Kendall does that, but I would be doing that. No kids, no responsibilities, (well) she has responsibilities, but you know what I mean," she said at the time.

NLE The Great Tries To Destroy "YB Better" Meme In New NBA YoungBoy Diss

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 03:00 GMT

NLE Choppa has officially declared war on NBA YoungBoy with the release of his scorching new diss track "Hello Revenge," dropping Thursday night (November 28) as the latest salvo in Hip-Hop's most heated beef of 2025. The Memphis rapper, now performing under the moniker NLE The Great, delivered a vicious four-minute assault that directly targets the Baton Rouge star with surgical precision. Directed by Bryson Potts and Travis Payne, the accompanying music video serves as a visual exclamation point to what many are calling the most aggressive diss track of the year. Watch Video on YouTube "Rap went dead, I'ma bring it back alive/N####, I'm the truth, but the devil is a lie/YB, Louis V. belt to his spine/Anybody with him better get hiim before he cross the line, n####," NLE The Great spits with venomous intensity on the track. The "Louis V. belt to his spine" reference appears to refer to October's "KO" music video, where the "Shotta Flow" hitmaker was seen striking an NBA YoungBoy lookalike with a belt in a shocking visual that sent shockwaves through social media. But NLE The Great didn't stop there. He directly addressed the viral "YB better" meme that YoungBoy's loyal fanbase has weaponized across social platforms. "They say, 'YB better,' who? I'm the proof that ain't a statement/They was putting me at two, hmm, change the conversation," he rapped, effectively dismantling the popular phrase while asserting his own dominance. The track arrives approximately 10 days after NBA YoungBoy appeared to fire back with "Zero IQ Freestyle," released on November 17. In that response, the 26-year-old Baton Rouge native seemed to dismiss NLE entirely, rapping: "B####, f### you, you ain't really Five and healin' all with real gang hoes / 'Respond to him,' he ain't never ran nothin' down, b####, I said, 'No.'" Watch Video on YouTube The beef traces back to NLE Choppa's explosive "KO" diss track in October, which heavily sampled 2Pac's legendary "Hit Em Up" and saw the rapper claim that YoungBoy was "poison" to the youth. The track marked a dramatic escalation in tensions between the two young stars. In a recent Rolling Stone interview, NLE The Great revealed that the inspiration for "KO" came in a "vivid dream" in which he was "holding a young boy's head in my hand, and I was bringing the head to my father in the dream." The disturbing imagery translated into one of the year's most talked-about diss records. NBA YoungBoy, fresh off his successful MASA album and his first headlining arena tour that wrapped in October, has maintained his position as one of Hip-Hop's most prolific artists. Watch Video on YouTube However, NLE The Great's relentless assault suggests this beef is far from over. The timing of "Hello Revenge" is particularly strategic, arriving just as NBA YoungBoy was scheduled to release his new album Slime Cry on Friday (November 28) at midnight. However, fans may have to wait longer for that project as the release has been delayed. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/nle-the-great-tries-to-destroy-yb-better-meme-in-new-nba-youngboy-diss/

Missy Elliott Called Out Labels For Fumbling "Car Wash" Collab With Christina Aguilera

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 02:01 GMT

Missy Elliott wants answers about why her hit "Car Wash" remake with Christina Aguilera has vanished from streaming platforms nearly 20 years after it dropped for the Shark Tale soundtrack. The Hip-Hop icon took to X this week to directly question Universal Music Group and Geffen Records after being flooded with messages from listeners wondering why the 2004 track is nowhere to be found online. "The fans tagged me wanting to know why the song Car Wash on #Sharktale soundtrack not on some streaming sites... Can you please help out because many of them have been asking as you can see and miss it," she wrote. .@UMG .@GeffenRecords the fans tagged me wanting to know why the song "Car Wash" on #Sharktale soundtrack not on some streaming sites...Can you please help out because many of them have been asking as you can see and miss it

— Missy Elliott (@MissyElliott) November 25, 2025 The high-energy duet, a modern take on Rose Royce's 1976 disco classic, became a chart success in several countries upon its release alongside the animated film. Despite its popularity, the song remains unavailable on primary streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music. So far, neither Universal nor Geffen has responded publicly to Elliott's request.

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 01:02 GMT

Ray J walked out of a Los Angeles jail and straight into controversy after recounting a disturbing encounter behind bars involving a fellow inmate's explicit behavior. The Hip-Hop singer and reality TV personality was arrested following a domestic altercation with his estranged wife, Princess Love, during a Twitch livestream. A heated on-camera dispute between Ray and Princess Love escalated after he allegedly pointed a gun at his ex-wife and LAPD officers eventually took him into custody. Not long after his release, Ray jumped back online to share an unsettling story from his brief jail stint. View this post on Instagram "Arguing with this n#### in here jacking off in jail," Ray J said. "It was crazy. Bro, I almost beat the n##### ass four times, 'cause I'm like, bro, I'm trying to survive in there, bro. Jacking off in there, bro. Under his bed, bro. It was crazy. I almost beat that n#### under his bed, bro. Playing with me. Talking about, 'Ray J, Ray J!' It was a lot. Never go to jail, y'all. It's really bad." The 44-year-old was released soon after but claimed the experience was traumatic. Ray J also confirmed he's now permanently banned from Twitch. "Nah, we banned from Twitch permanently. Forever. We'll never be able to go back on Twitch... We're banned permanently." Princess Love later addressed the situation, denying his claims that she and her cousin were drunk and about to drive off with their kids. "I'm not going to let him deflect and make it about me, or make it seem like I was drunk. That was not the case," she said. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/ray-j-hard-time-jail-man-pleasured-himself/

One Suspect Still On The Run In Delarosa Gang Killing

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 00:00 GMT

Delarosa was gunned down in a suspected gang-related robbery in Los Angeles that left two others wounded and has now led to murder charges against three men. Maria De La Rosa, who performed under the name Delarosa, was killed early Saturday morning while sitting inside a parked car in Northridge. According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, the attackers approached the vehicle, demanded money and opened fire. The 25-year-old singer was rushed to the hospital but died from multiple gunshot wounds. On Wednesday, prosecutors charged Francisco Otilio Gaytan, 27, Benny LiconGomez, 27, and Eduardo Lopez, 21, with one count of murder and two counts of attempted second-degree robbery. Lopez has not been taken into custody and remains at large. Watch Video on YouTube "This was a ruthless and targeted attack that stole the life of a young woman and artist and inflicted profound lifelong trauma on her family and the two survivors," said Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman. "My Office will pursue this case aggressively to ensure those responsible are held fully accountable for this senseless and deadly violence." The shooting occurred around 1:25 A.M., and authorities believe it was connected to gang activity. The two surviving victims were critically injured during the assault. Delarosa had just begun to make waves in the Latin music scene. She released her debut single "No me llames" in August, and her death has sparked an outpouring of grief from the music community. Jimmy Humilde and Juan Moises, lead singer of Los Gemelos de Sinaloa, were among those who paid tribute online. The case remains active as authorities continue to search for Lopez. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/one-suspect-still-on-the-run-in-delarosa-gang-killing/

Drake Allegedly Plans New "Beef" With Kendrick Lamar With "ICEMAN" Tour

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 23:30 GMT

Drake and Kendrick Lamar are once again on a collision course since Drake reportedly has it in his mind that he needs revenge. The Toronto megastar gears up for his ninth studio album ICEMAN and, according to DJ Akademiks, a massive 2026 global run intended to challenge the record books. Akademiks raised eyebrows during a recent stream when he claimed Drake wants to topple Kendrick's worldwide touring crown. Weird. First of all, he's got to contend with Travis Scott already doing that. Kendrick currently holds the highest grossing Hip-Hop tour ever with his Grand National trek, but I believe ol boy should read AllHipHop more. READ MORE: Travis Scott's "Circus Maximus Tour" Pulls In Historic $265M Drake still holds the title for the biggest touring numbers in the United States, per Ak. Akademiks believes Drake is ready to chase the global title once and for all. "I think Drake wants to beat the world record going into next year," Akademiks said in a clip captured on X. "I think he's saying 'Yo I don't need an agent really. But if I'm gonna have an agent my agent's not gonna rep my opp. F*ck that.'" The timing of the claim landed right as momentum around ICEMAN continues to build. The album still does not have a public release date yet insiders have been buzzing for weeks that Drake is preparing a rollout that will hit soon. Akademiks doubled down during an earlier livestream where he revealed Drizzy has been locked into the studio and zeroed in on crafting something major for supporters. I take this with a grain of salt since homie is Team Drizzy. "Yo Drake been off the road he's cooking up and it's a beautiful thing for all Drake fans," he said. "Now we're going to get what we really want from The Boy. N***a hit me. He says 'Ak the stove is hot!' I'm just letting y'all know....'Remember I told y'all.' The Boy is confirming man the cook-up is happening." Akademiks pushed fans to give Drake room to operate as he wraps the project. "Let my boy live in peace no livestreams collabs or whatever right now," he added. "No random distractions. We don't want no tings trying to jump out. Let my boy cook and whenever he's done cheffing we gon' have a good time man. We're about to go through one of those again I like it." We? OK. If Akademiks is right Drake could be preparing his own version of a takeover or it could be the biggest flop in history. They are doing too much. Let it drop and let it rock. ICEMAN could be dope, this anticipation stuff is overdoing it! .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/drake-allegedly-plans-new-beef-with-kendrick-lamar-with-iceman-tour/

T-Pain Clarifies "F##k"DJ Khaled Comment -"I'm From Florida"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 23:01 GMT

T-Pain pushed back against viral claims that he dissed DJ Khaled during his appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, clarifying that his words were misunderstood due to his rapid speech. "Well, I definitely didn't say f### DJ Khaled but I'm from Florida and n##### apparently can't understand how fast I talk. I said 'f###### d? Khaled'...because I was about to start a list but decided to just move on. It's still love I just learned how to move around n#####," T-Pain wrote on social media after clips from the interview sparked speculation. The misunderstanding stems from a broader conversation T-Pain had on the podcast about loyalty and authenticity in the music business. He used Khaled as an example of what he called a "fake brother," explaining that the industry's "brother" talk often masks transactional relationships. Watch Video on YouTube During the interview, T-Pain said he helped Khaled earn his first platinum plaque with the 2007 anthem "I'm So Hood," but felt the support wasn't mutual once the spotlight shifted. He described the dynamic as one-sided and said the relationship faded once Khaled got what he needed. T-Pain didn't hold back when discussing how industry friendships often come with strings attached. He said he learned that "nobody is your brother" and that the "we the best" energy disappears when the business benefits run out. The viral moment occurred as T-Pain was detailing how he's learned to navigate the Hip-Hop world with more caution. He said he was about to list examples of people he once considered close but had since moved on from. That's when the phrase "f###### d? Khaled" was misheard as a direct insult. The whole episode of Club Shay Shay aired earlier this week and has since gained traction online, especially after social media users began circulating the misinterpreted clip. T-Pain's clarification came shortly after the clip began trending, and he made it clear that while he may have grievances, there's no lingering animosity. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/t-pain-clarifies-fkdj-khaled-comment-im-from-florida/

50 Cent Settles Lawsuit Over Knocking Man Off Scooter

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 22:01 GMT

50 Cent quietly closed the book on a civil assault case this week, just as he ramps up promotion for his latest Netflix project tied to Diddy. The rapper and entertainment mogul reached a settlement with photographer Guadalupe De Los Santos, who sued him in January over an alleged run-in in Los Angeles last September. According to the complaint, De Los Santos said he was intentionally knocked off his electric scooter by someone in 50 Cent's entourage after approaching the rapper's vehicle following a book signing. Attorneys for Fif denied the allegations. However, a court filing this week confirmed both parties "reached an agreement in principle to resolve all claims" and are "in the process of drafting and executing the formal settlement agreement." No financial details were made public. The lawsuit was scheduled for a hearing next month before the settlement was finalized, as first reported by People. Meanwhile, 50 Cent is focused on his role as executive producer on Sean Combs: The Reckoning, a four-part documentary directed by Alexandria Stapleton. Watch Video on YouTube The series explores Diddy's rise in the Hip-Hop world, his business empire, and his legal downfall. In July, Diddy was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but was cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. He was sentenced in October to 50 months in prison. Sean Combs: The Reckoning will begin streaming on Netflix starting December 2. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/50-cent-settles-lawsuit-over-knocking-man-off-scooter/

Keffe D Trial Pushed Over Tupac Shakur Gang Hit Back Due To Massive Amount Of Evidence

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 21:00 GMT

Keffe D just bought himself more time in the long-running legal saga tied to the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, as a Las Vegas judge pushed his trial date back to August 10, 2026, giving his defense time to comb through a massive amount of evidence. Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny approved the six-month delay after Keffe D's attorney, Robert Draskovich, argued that the discovery was "voluminous" and required additional time to review. Prosecutors did not oppose the request, which moved the trial from its original February 2026 start. Keffe D has been locked up at the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest in September 2023. The 60-year-old former Southside Compton Crips affiliate is accused of orchestrating the drive-by shooting that killed Tupac near the Las Vegas Strip nearly three decades ago. His legal team underwent a shake-up last August when he replaced his previous counsel with Draskovich and Michael Pandullo. That change followed his conviction for fighting another inmate, which tacked on an additional 16 to 40 months to his sentence. He is receiving credit for time already served. The case has been complicated by Keffe D's own words. Over the years, he's repeatedly spoken about the night Tupac was gunned down, sometimes claiming he was in the car, other times saying he fabricated the story to sell books and land interviews. His current legal strategy hinges on the argument that he exaggerated or invented his involvement for profit. Watch Video on YouTube Prosecutors allege the Crips gang member ordered the hit as retaliation for a casino altercation between Tupac and Keffe D's nephew, Orlando Anderson, earlier that same night. Authorities believe Keffe D was the one who gave the green light from inside the white Cadillac that pulled up next to Tupac's BMW at a red light. Anderson, long suspected of being the triggerman, was killed in a separate shooting in 1998. Most of the other individuals tied to the case are also dead, making him one of the last living people with firsthand knowledge of what happened that night. The delay gives Keffe D's attorneys more time to sift through nearly 30 years of investigative material, including witness interviews, forensic reports and Keffe D's own recorded statements from documentaries and media appearances. The case represents one of Hip-Hop's most notorious unsolved crimes and has hovered over the culture since Tupac died in a Las Vegas hospital on September 13, 1996. After decades of speculation and conspiracy theories, the trial could finally bring a public examination of the events that led to the rapper's death. By the time Keffe D stands trial in August 2026, he will have spent nearly three years in custody awaiting judgment in a case that has haunted Hip-Hop for generations. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/keffe-d-trial-pushed-over-tupac-shakur-gang-hit-back-due-to-massive-amount-of-evidence/

EXCLUSIVE: Nelly's Lawyer Accused Of Using Billing Trickery To Get $78K In Legal Bills

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 20:01 GMT

Nelly is back in court drama as his attorney's $78,000 sanctions bill faces pushback from Ali of the St. Lunatics, who claims the charges are bloated with vague entries and clerical work disguised as legal labor. Ali Jones, who performed alongside Nelly in the Hip-Hop group, accused Nelly of copyright infringement and unjust enrichment, claiming he was denied credit and compensation for contributions to songs on Nelly's 2000 debut album Country Grammar. The judge tossed the lawsuit, claiming Ali waited too long to bring the lawsuit to court. Nelly was awarded attorney fees and sought over $78,000. In a recent court filing, Ali's legal team accused Nelly's lawyer, Kenneth D. Freundlich, of padding invoices with inflated hours and billing high partner rates for routine tasks. The dispute stems from a previous ruling that awarded Nelly the right to collect legal fees from attorney Precious Felder, who a federal judge found had filed baseless claims and prolonged the case with unnecessary motions. Now, the court must determine what portion of those fees is actually reasonable. Ali's attorney argued the submitted bill is far from justifiable, stating Freundlich's records were "vague, block-billed, redundant, excessive for the limited work performed, and replete with clerical tasks masked as legal work." Watch Video on YouTube The objection points to numerous entries in which Nelly's legal team charged top-tier rates for reading court dockets, checking emails, and filing documents-tasks typically handled by support staff. One example flagged in the filing shows a senior attorney billing for "reviewed court order" without any detail on the nature or significance of the review. Another entry combined multiple tasks-drafting, research, filing, and internal meetings-into a single line item, making it difficult to assess how much time was spent on each. Ali's lawyer also took issue with what they described as an overcrowded legal team, where multiple attorneys billed for the same tasks, such as reviewing emails or editing drafts, even though the case involved no discovery, no hearings, and only a few motions. The filing said the invoices "reflect clerical tasks billed at attorney rates" and called the hours logged for the sanctions motion "excessive and disproportionate to the work performed." The objection urged the judge to slash the proposed fees by at least half, arguing that the amount Nelly seeks "cannot be imposed on Plaintiff" because sanctions are meant only to reimburse costs directly tied to Felder's misconduct. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-nellys-lawyer-accused-of-using-billing-trickery-to-get-78k-in-legal-bills/

Boosie Badazz Rejected Prison, Sentencing Closes In

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 19:27 GMT

Boosie Badazz remains firm in his belief that he will dodge prison time as he awaits sentencing in his federal gun case, insisting during a recent appearance that he refuses to even entertain the idea of spending the next two years behind bars. The Baton Rouge rapper leaned on faith and Southern conviction when asked about the possibility of a 24-month sentence, making it clear that he will not speak negativity into existence or claim an outcome he does not accept. "I'm confident like a muthafucka. I ain't going to jail. I don't speak that out my mouth. I'm from down south. Your word your mouth is a powerful source." Boosie pushed back against social media predictions that he will automatically be hit with the maximum term when he returns to court. He stressed that nothing is predetermined and that sentencing depends entirely on the judge. "It's still up to the judge," he said. "It's up to God but it's up to the judge. You know people saying 'He gotta do two years.' That's not a fact of this case. It's up to the judge what the judge wanna do. I'm confident man. I'm chin up chest high." Despite his optimism he said he is bracing himself for whatever outcome arrives in January. Boosie acknowledged the weight of the situation but suggested this case feels different from past legal battles that left him feeling targeted. "I don't have a judge that hates me this time," he said. "I've always had judges that crucified me." Still he made it clear that his confidence is not blind. Boosie told TMZ earlier that he hopes a pardon will come through and he reiterated that belief during his latest remarks. That hope remains alive thanks to a monthslong push behind the scenes. In October filings revealed that the Louisiana native hired lobbyists to help him secure a pardon. He has also gone public with multiple pleas asking state officials to reconsider his situation and extend mercy. The effort is ongoing as his legal team works to shift the narrative ahead of his court date. Boosie's sentencing which was originally slated for November 21 was moved to January 9 at his request giving him more time to prepare and pursue every realistic avenue. For him the delay is not a setback but another moment to reinforce his belief that the right outcome is still within reach. As the new year approaches the rapper faces one of the most consequential moments of his career yet he continues to project resolve. Whether through a judge's decision or a hoped-for pardon he maintains faith that he will walk into 2025 as a free man rather than another cautionary tale. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/boosie-badazz-rejected-prison-sentencing-closes-in/

T-Pain Sold Catalog For A Century Worth Of Money

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 19:00 GMT

T-Pain turned a career's worth of chart-toppers into a $100 million payday after selling his catalog to HarbourView Equity Partners, a move he says fast-tracked generational wealth. During a revealing sit-down on the Club Shay Shay podcast, the Grammy-winning artist explained how the deal came together and why it was a no-brainer. "The amount of money that they gave me for my catalog, it literally would have taken me a hundred years to make that money. I calculated it," he said. "At first I was like, 'why would I sell y'all this?' And they were like, 'look, here's how much you're making per year off of this. We're gonna give you a hundred years worth of money right here all at once.' I didn't think that was a hard calculation." The 39-year-old hitmaker, who helped redefine the sound of modern Hip-Hop with his signature Auto-Tune style, said he shared the news with his wife in disbelief. Watch Video on YouTube "I discussed it with my wife. I said, 'hey, babe. The kids gone to school? I got to talk to you about something that's real important about the future. I was like, can I close the door? Cause I don't want the rest of the house to hear. So, I closed the door. 'we rich, we rich, we got $100 million dollars.' We rich." But the deal wasn't just a one-time payout. T-Pain revealed that HarbourView is now invested in his future creative output, not just his past hits. "HarbourView, the people I sold my catalog to, they didn't just say, 'we want your catalog.' They said, 'we'll buy your catalog. But also, if you make another hit, we want that, too. If you make more songs, we want them, too. If you make a hit TV series, we want that, too. If you make a football league that nobody even thought of, we want that, too. If you score a movie, we want that, too. So it's a partnership now." The Florida native has already started investing his earnings. He purchased a 50,000-square-foot warehouse in Tallahassee to house his growing Nappy Boy business operations, spanning entertainment, gaming, and beverages. He also bought a plane. The sale marks a significant milestone in T-Pain's career, including over 50 million singles sold, billions of streams, and more than 10 Billboard Hot 100 entries. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of several of his biggest records, including "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')," "Bartender" featuring Akon and "I'm N Luv (Wit a Stripper)" with Mike Jones. Outside of music, T-Pain has built a strong presence on Twitch, where his livestreams have earned him a loyal following and further cemented his reputation as an entertainer and entrepreneur. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/t-pain-sold-catalog-for-a-century-worth-of-money/

Ray J Banned From Twitch After Gun Incident

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 18:01 GMT

Twitch wasted no time dropping the hammer on Ray J's channel after he found himself in handcuffs this Thanksgiving morning after what can only be described as the messiest livestream meltdown in recent memory. Ray J was arrested at 4:08 A.M. on felony criminal threat charges following a chaotic broadcast that had viewers watching in horror as domestic drama played out in real time. The whole situation went sideways when Ray J decided to air his grievances live while packing heat. During the stream, he was heard saying he was having the "worst Thanksgiving" and claiming someone wanted to take his kids. That's when things got really ugly - viewers watched him pick up a gun, load it, and warn that he would "blow" anyone who came near his door. Princess Love walked into the frame holding one of their children, and according to multiple reports, she accused Ray J of pointing the weapon directly at her and their daughter. Ray J denied this claim during the stream, instead saying she and another person were drunk. The whole scene was pure chaos, with a child crying in the background and police sirens getting closer. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that officers responded to a Porter Ranch home after receiving calls about a possible domestic violence incident. When they arrived, they found Ray J and took him into custody without incident. Watch Video on YouTube He was released from the LA County jail with bail set at $50,000. Twitch has zero tolerance for violent threats or dangerous weapon displays during live broadcasts - something that's been crystal clear in their community guidelines for years. When you're waving guns around and making threats while streaming, you're basically asking to get permanently banned. The streaming service has been cracking down harder on violent content in recent years, and celebrity status doesn't provide immunity from platform rules. This latest drama is just another chapter in what's been an absolutely messy divorce saga between Ray J and Princess Love. These two have been playing relationship ping-pong since they tied the knot in 2016. We're talking about four separate divorce filings here - Princess Love first pulled the trigger on divorce papers in March 2024, which marked the fourth time they've tried to call it quits. Princess Love initially filed for divorce back in 2020 after a major blowup in Las Vegas during her pregnancy in 2019. They managed to patch things up temporarily, but Ray J filed his own papers in 2020, then again in 2021, before withdrawing them in 2023. In February 2024, Princess Love posted on Instagram about their decision to separate "after much reflection," asking for privacy while they figured out co-parenting their two kids - 6-year-old Melody and 5-year-old Epik. The custody battle has been particularly nasty. In April 2024, Ray J filed for joint custody and spousal support, listing assets including jewelry, income, and other undisclosed properties. The court documents paint a picture of a couple who can't seem to figure out how to split without making it everyone else's business. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/ray-j-banned-from-twitch-after-gun-incident/

Ray J Walks Free From Jail After Gun Incident: Princess Love Denies Being Drunk

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 16:00 GMT

Ray J spent Thanksgiving behind bars after allegedly pointing a loaded gun at Princess Love during a livestreamed argument at their Los Angeles home, a confrontation that ended with the singer posting $50,000 bail and walking out of jail Thursday afternoon. The 44-year-old singer and businessman was seen leaving the Los Angeles County jail dressed in all black, avoiding eye contact with reporters as he took a phone call and exited without comment. His manager told photographers he rushed over after receiving a call from Ray J behind bars, saying he "came right over to get him out." The arrest stems from an explosive domestic dispute that unfolded live on Ray J's social media feed. What began as a tense family argument quickly escalated when Ray J appeared to load a firearm on camera. Watch Video on YouTube Princess Love later claimed he pointed the weapon at her and her cousin's husband as she attempted to leave the house with their children. "I would never put my kids in danger," she said. "And that includes leaving them with a man who's waving a gun around." In the hours following his release, Princess Love posted a video on Instagram with the caption "Enough is enough," where she accused her ex-husband of abusive behavior and said she's been raising their two children, Melody and Epik, without his help. "You're more than drunk," she said, urging him to seek treatment and alleging that their children once found him "in bed naked with another woman." The situation reached a boiling point when an off-camera voice, believed to be her cousin's husband, confronted Ray J. The singer allegedly responded with, "I'll shoot the f*** out of you." Ray J briefly addressed the incident in a now-deleted social media post, claiming he felt threatened when Princess Love's cousin's husband entered his room to retrieve the children. He wrote that he had "a major issue" with the man's presence and believed he was "defending his space." The couple's relationship has long been volatile. They married in 2016, and Princess Love filed for divorce in 2020. Since then, they've been navigating a rocky co-parenting arrangement, often making headlines for their public disputes and reconciliations. Now, Ray J faces a felony criminal threat charge, which carries severe legal consequences if convicted. His next court hearing is scheduled for December 19. The incident adds to a growing list of domestic violence cases within the Hip-Hop world, but the fact that this one played out live in front of thousands and allegedly in front of children has amplified the public scrutiny. Ray J, whose career has spanned music, reality television and tech ventures, now finds himself grappling with a legal battle that could overshadow everything else. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/ray-j-walks-free-from-jail-after-gun-incident-princess-love-denies-being-drunk/

Diddy Turns Fort Dix Into Community Feast For 1,000 Inmates

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 15:00 GMT

Diddy wasn't about to let his first Thanksgiving behind bars pass without purpose. Locked up at Fort Dix since October 30, the Hip-Hop mogul rallied a group of inmates known as the Bankroll Bosses to pull off a massive holiday meal that fed every housing unit in the prison-roughly 1,000 people. The effort took two full days of planning and prep, with inmates using whatever tools they could find-ID cards doubled as knives-to transform commissary ingredients into a meal that felt more like a family gathering than a standard prison tray. "Thanksgiving, to me, is about making sure other people eat. Everybody misses their family. People get depressed during the holidays. We just wanted to come together as a family and do our own thing," Diddy told TMZ through his rep. Prison holidays are usually bare minimum. Meals are served quickly, with little effort to create any sense of warmth or community. But Diddy and his crew weren't interested in routine. They decided to take matters into their own hands. B.I., a former gang leader who helped organize the operation, explained the scale of the project: "We cooked the food and sent it to all the buildings. Enough for about 200 people in each building. It took two days to prep everything." Without access to stoves or microwaves, the group had to improvise. They bought supplies from the commissary and used basic tools to prepare and distribute the food. Somehow, they made it work. Watch Video on YouTube Diddy's adjustment to prison life has surprised many. Videos have surfaced showing him working various jobs inside the facility, and he's spoken about the unexpected sense of unity among inmates. "There's a lot of misinterpretations about prison. There is a strong brotherhood. We all look out for each other. It's nothing but a positive thing," he said. "It's like a little bit of home in a dark place." The Thanksgiving initiative is part of a broader effort by Diddy to maintain a sense of leadership and connection while serving his 50-month sentence for Mann Act violations. He was convicted on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution and moved to Fort Dix after initially being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Speculation about his release has been swirling, especially after his son King Combs hinted he might be home for the holidays. But that scenario appears unlikely. While Diddy has been granted an expedited appeal schedule, legal analysts don't expect a swift outcome. For now, he remains focused on staying active and engaged behind bars. Whether running Bad Boy Records or organizing a prison-wide Thanksgiving, Diddy continues to find ways to lead-even from a cell. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/diddy-turns-fort-dix-into-community-feast-for-1000-inmates/
