Marlon Wayans had been to a Diddy party but left before it got too late. Appearing on Club Shay Shay, Wayans revealed he went to “plenty” parties, but “I left early.”
“I swear to you, I’ve never seen…I’ve never seen it. I’ve never seen it,” Wayans said. “Those aren’t the type of parties that I go to. I don’t frequent those type of parties and even if I go, like I said I’ve never seen any of this.”
Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj let shots ring off at each other earlier this year. Minaj dropped “Big Foot,” Thee Stallion clapped at Minaj with “Hiss.” But what started this beef? Thee Stallion doesn’t know.
In a new cover story with Billboard, Hot Girl Meg spoke about mending the once-positive relationship.
“I still to this day don’t know what the problem is,” Thee Stallion said. “I don’t even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don’t know what the problem is.”
With her third album, Megan Thee Stallion has proved she’s still one of the hardest MCs in the game — but she insists she hasn’t reached her peak just yet.
Megan Thee Stallion is set to make a powerful return to the MTV stage as both host and performer at the 2024 VMAs, airing live on Wednesday, September 11th at 8 PM ET/PT from New York’s UBS Arena. Amid a remarkable year highlighted by her new album, MEGAN, and her global “Hot Girl Summer Tour,” Megan promises an unforgettable performance that will be a must-see.
The 2-time winner and 24-time nominee is up for seven nominations this year, including “Best Collaboration” with GloRilla and “Best Hip Hop,” a category she last won in 2020 for “Savage.” Megan also earned nods in “Song of the Summer” and “Best Trending Video” for her hit “MAMUSHI” featuring Yuki Chiba, which recently topped Spotify’s Global Viral chart in Japan.
Last year, Megan and Cardi B set the VMAs stage on fire with their debut of “BONGOS.” This year, the 3-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist looks to continue her unstoppable streak.
Following her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “HISS,” the Houston native remains a dominant force, with her latest album, MEGAN, featuring collaborations with Victoria Monet, UGK, and more. As Megan returns to the VMAs, all eyes will be on her to see if she adds more Moon Persons to her collection.
As Complex notes, one user wrote, “Who tf told Cardi B she’s light skin? That term is used for lighter complexion black folks but y’all got everybody claiming it now.” Cardi replied, “Dominicans are so diverse when it comes to skin color Dark ,brown ,tan,light ,white ….sooo what am I supposed to say when I’m describing my complexion…Im Dominican skin ?”
Somebody else wrote, “idk maybe y’all need to come up with yall own terms.. ‘light skinned’ is used to describe BLACK people. Not whites, Dominicans, Mexicans, Asians… BLACKS!! You can’t just use the word to mean whatever you want it to mean chica.” Cardi responded, “what you saying is automatically invalid.The fact that you use whites … WHITES IS A COLOR AND A RACE ..DOMINICANS ARE A NATIONALITY WITH PEOPLE that are different COLORS AND SHADES ..NOT A RACE … Get your glitter hole out of here wit this fake rule you just came up wit.”
Cardi said in another tweet, “The term light skin is adjective to describe skin complexion …It is not exclusive to a single race …l guess Jamaicans and Haitians and West Indians can’t say they got brown skin ,light skin or dark skin because just like Dominicans they are also a nationality..now move JAWS.”
The legal battle between Diddy and his accusers rages on. Its latest development concerns accuser April Lampros, who claims he committed sexual assault on at least four separate occasions as well as battery, infliction of emotional distress, and gender-motivated violence. According to court documents reportedly obtained by AllHipHop, her legal team responded to Sean Combs’ team’s motion to dismiss with a contesting move on Monday (September 2). Specifically, Lampros’ lawyer Tyrone Blackburn motioned to add new allegations to her complaint and to remove the claims of emotional distress against Sony Music and other parties.
“At this time, the plaintiff seeks leave of the court to amend its complaint to withdraw the negligent infliction of emotional distress claim against corporate defendants and to add additional facts to remedy the issues in the pleading identified by the defendants in their respective motions to dismiss,” Blackburn stated. Furthermore, it seems like this motion seeks to shift focus from corporate defendants’ alleged infliction of emotional distress. Instead, it wants to highlight how Diddy and his team’s assessment of Lampros’ attorney is an allegedly misleading one.

For those unaware, Diddy’s team motioned to dismiss due in part to Blackburn’s alleged lack of credibility. These claims include accusations of pressuring settlements and filing improper cases for the sake of media attention. In response, Lampros’ lawyer claimed that the Bad Boy mogul’s team developed a “sick obsession” with him that became “disturbing” after initially being “flattering.” “[Combs and Bad Boy Records’] counsels attach themselves to a single sentence of an opinion of an unrelated case to try and classify the plaintiff’s pleading as ‘salacious’ or meritless with the sole intent of forcing defendants to ‘settle,’” Blackburn wrote.
“For starters, plaintiff never requested a settlement from defendants [Diddy] and [Bad Boy Records],” he continued. “The plaintiff intends to hold [Diddy] and [Bad Boy] accountable for their actions before a jury of their peers. Secondly, although this writer picks his clients, he does not pick their facts. If [Diddy] had not engaged in salacious criminal behavior, this writer would not have had anything salacious to file. [Diddy’s] counsels should spend their time teaching him lessons he clearly missed growing up as a child: 1. No means no, and 2. men should never put their hands (or feet) on women.” Blackburn also represents another accuser of Combs’, Lil Rod. In addition to this case, there are also multiple others.
Adin Ross is someone who has completely taken the streaming world by storm over the last few years. Overall, he is one of the biggest streamers out there. Consequently, he has been able to collaborate with some truly massive artists. There are plenty of artists within hip-hop who rock with him, including Drake. While Drizzy has not yet done a stream with Adin, he does send him messages from time to time. In fact, he seemingly got a preview for a new song with Drake and Lil Durk.
The song is supposedly called “Discontinuing Wokhardt.” Based on the lyrics, they appear to be an anthem on quitting lean addiction. Drake has allegedly had issues with the drug in the past. Meanwhile, Adin Ross has been very open about the fact that he struggles with lean addiction. While listening to the song, Adin was actually confused as to why he, in particular, was given this opportunity. However, he eventually put two and two together.
“Wait, I just realized — why’d they have me preview that? Is it because I was on lean? I’m not on lean no more. And how does The Boy know about — yeah, nah, he’s tapped in. Damn, that was hard,” Ross said. For now, it remains to be seen whether or not this Drake and Durk song will come out anytime soon. If it does, we’re sure fans will be extremely tapped in. Only time will tell what Drizzy does next.
Let us know what you think of this latest song preview, in the comments section down below. Do you think Durk and Drake have a hit with this one?

Cleotrapa is forging ahead after her tumultuous experience touring with Ice Spice, finding support and a new opportunity with rap veteran Azealia Banks. The 26-year-old rapper, who recently exposed her former friend Ice Spice in a 6-part TikTok series, is set to perform alongside Banks at Terminal 5 in New York City on Halloween.
Azealia Banks, 33, took to X (formerly Twitter) on September 4 to announce the collaboration, using the moment to throw shade at Ice Spice, 24, for her alleged mistreatment of Cleotrapa during the U.S. leg of her Y2K! World Tour. The “212” artist made it clear that Cleotrapa will have a much better experience this time around, emphasizing the respect and professionalism she plans to extend to her fellow artist.
“I don’t like how everyone is trying to make Cleotrapa look. Any fcking who @iamcleotrapa will be performing with me on Halloween Oct 31. at @Terminal5NYC,” Banks wrote. “She will be paid, have her own space to glam, whatever she wants on her rider… because I have fcking respect & class.”
The post comes after Cleotrapa detailed the alleged mistreatment she endured on tour with Ice Spice, including not being paid, having to cover her own hotel and food expenses, and being isolated from the rest of the tour crew. These allegations have sparked widespread conversation on social media, with many fans rethinking their support for Ice Spice, a Grammy Award nominee.
Banks didn’t stop at defending Cleotrapa; she also took direct aim at Ice Spice’s manager, James Rosemond Jr., who had previously blamed the tour debacle on Cleotrapa and her team in a series of posts on X. Banks was quick to call out Rosemond, criticizing him for his comments.
“Ice Spice’s manager is a bird *ss n*gg* 4 trying to add insult to injury when a young girl is expressing how she feels. He’s trying to make Cleo look like an amateur when the fact that he’s even chiming in at all is ghetto, low class and a huge sign of having zero skin in the game,” Banks wrote. She added, “How about he get his artist some filler for those smile lines, she’s aging like f*cking milk.”
While Ice Spice has addressed some of the allegations, the damage may have already been done. The claims of mistreatment have undoubtedly affected the public’s perception of her, despite her recent success and accolades.
