Federal Investigation Deepens into Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Amid Allegations Involving Daphne Joy

The legal troubles surrounding Bad Boy Entertainment CEO Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have taken a significant turn as federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York intensify their investigation. Earlier this year, former Bad Boy music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed a $30 million civil lawsuit against Diddy, alleging that 50 Cent’s ex-girlfriend and mother of his child, Daphne Joy, was involved in Diddy’s alleged trafficking ring. Now, it appears the feds are digging deeper to uncover more about the accusations.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, federal authorities have issued a subpoena to a luxurious Miami hotel, demanding a wide array of records linked to Diddy, Daphne Joy, and other associates of the hip-hop mogul. The subpoena, which focuses on the period from January 1, 2008, to the present, seeks extensive information including reservation records, check-in and check-out dates, room numbers, guest preferences and requests, and billing details.

But the investigation doesn’t stop there. The subpoena also requests email and mailing addresses, phone numbers, and payment methods used by Diddy, Daphne Joy, and others, whether it be cash or credit. Additionally, federal prosecutors have asked for computer IP addresses, logins, identification copies, and even vehicle information connected to the individuals involved. Furthermore, the feds are inquiring about any surveillance footage the hotel might have, potentially seeking to piece together a clearer picture of the activities and interactions that took place.

This latest development signals that authorities are far from finished with their investigation into Diddy, with the new subpoena issued just weeks ago. As the probe continues, the legal landscape for the Bad Boy CEO becomes increasingly complex, with potential implications for his personal and professional life.

As of now, both Diddy and Daphne Joy have yet to publicly respond to the latest subpoena and the ongoing investigation.

After it was revealed that Murder Inc.’s Irv Gotti suffered a stroke over six months ago, a rep for Gotti stated that the once troubled music exec was in recovery and was working on a biopic about the late Earl “DMX” Simmons. According to a recently released statement from DMX’s first wife Tashera Simmons who says that neither her or any of X’s family have been working with Gotti on any project about DMX.

The statement from Tashera and the Simmons family reads, “In light of recent speculation, the family of Earl Simmons, professionally known as Hip-Hop rap artist DMX, wish to confirm that we are not collaborating with Irv Gotti, nor have we agreed to partner with him on any content related to Earl, including a biopic.”

The statement continues, “DMX is an iconic figure in the music industry, and his life and legacy hold great significance. As we consider potential projects related to his story, we commit to ensuring they are treated with the utmost respect and integrity.”

It concludes, “We appreciate the continued support and interest from fans and the public. We will share any official announcements about future projects through our official channels. The Simmons Family”

Patrick Mahomes Says Taylor Swift Has Started ‘Drawing Up Plays’ For The Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs were already an emerging dynasty coming into the 2023 season, with some immensely popular players among football fans, headlined by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. However, once Kelce started dating Taylor Swift, they saw a whole new group of fans flooding in, as Swift’s extremely loyal (and massive) fan base became heavily invested in the Chiefs as they went on another Super Bowl winning run.

As the 2024 season gets set to start in Kansas City on Thursday night, with the Chiefs facing one of their top challengers in the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens, all eyes are on Mahomes, Kelce, and how Kansas City will begin another title defense. Among those watching will be Swift, as she and Kelce have become a serious couple, with Kelce a fixture at Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Europe, and even showing up on stage in London. When that happened, plenty of people (including myself) made the joke that Kelce has to return the favor and get Swift some snaps for the Chiefs, and while that won’t happen, it might not be all that far-fetched that Swift will have an impact on the field this season.

Patrick Mahomes recently sat down with NBC’s Chris Simms and, naturally, the conversation shifted to Swift towards the end, where Mahomes talked about how “genuine and cool” Swift has been, despite being the most famous person in the world. He also noted she’s gotten very into football, going so far as to start drawing plays in her spare time (~22:50 of the below video).

“And then meeting Taylor and realizing how genuine and cool she is,” Mahomes said. “I mean, that’s been special to me, because she is, like you said, the most famous person in the world, she could not be. And she’s really interested in football and she asks a lot of great questions. She’s started drawing up plays, so we might have to put one in.”

The Chiefs offense is willing to try just about anything if they think it can work, so I don’t think this is just lip service by Mahomes about possibly putting in a Taylor play. We’ve seen the Chiefs try all kinds of wild designs, from spinning huddles to behind the back passes and more, so don’t be surprised if we learn after a game that a redzone TD came off of something drawn up by the biggest pop star in the world.

Drake’s “Take Care” Further Solidifies Classic Status With Jaw-Dropping Milestone

by

Drake must have put something in his 2011 album Take Care because fans can still not get enough of it. The album will turn 13 on November 15 but it feels like it’s hardly aged and this new milestone proves that. According to a repost from djakademikstv, Chart Data has discovered that the sophomore record has now spent 600 weeks on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. This makes it just the ninth LP to do so, ironically tailing just behind Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city. Some fans made the effort to point that out in the comments section. “good kid mad city is higher on billboard right now”, one IG user replied.

However, there were a lot of hip-hop fans appreciating the greatness of Drake and Take Care. One floored person writes, “Do yall realize how crazy this is….. 12 YEARS on the charts bro, that is actually insane”. “Absolute classic!!🔥”, another simply states. There were also people reminiscing on why this project means so much to them. “This one right here can never leave #1 for me just the nostalgia alone… like the ending of “Look What You Done” still puts a tear in my eye today 😂🤷🏽‍♂️… it was just a different time”.

Times certainly are different now for Drizzy, as it seems the whole industry is essentially turning on him. The beef with Kendrick really has shifted things in terms of how people view him. However, just like Take Care, Drake can never truly be forgotten for good. He does have some things in the works post battle, and it will be interesting to see how he handles each step moving forward.

What are your thoughts on Drake’s Take Care spending 600 weeks on the Billboard Hot 200 chart? Is this his best project, why or why not? How often do you revisit the album and what songs do you bump the most? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Ice Cube Slammed For His Resurfaced Stance On Voting As 2024 Election Cycle Heats Up

by

Ice Cube is getting slammed on social media for his past comments on voting. The backlash appears to be in response to a resurfaced video of Cube rebuking the idea of voting for the Democratic party without demanding action in exchange for doing so. He originally posted it on social media in September 2020.

“Ice Cube is out here telling people not to vote again,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote over the weekend. “While he sits in his million dollar mansion and Black folks in the south are getting kicked off their Medicaid.” Another added: “Ice Cube is estimated to be worth $160M, he can’t comprehend why people with diabetes are living better lives under the Biden Administration or why people need their medicaid, Medicare, social security. Living in a wealthy gated community has damaged this man head from reality.”

Cube eventually addressed one of the complaints on X. “I’m not in bed with none of these clowns,” he wrote. “So go get another booster shot and stfu…” One user fired back in the replies: “You’re a f*cking sellout. Plain and simple. F*ck you for that. All that “gangsta“ sh*t but you’re basically Trumps b*tch!”

Ice Cube Fires Back

Cube previously made headlines for rejecting a call with Kamala Harris back in 2020 while she was running to be Joe Biden’s Vice President. “We had spent a lot of people’s time putting the contract with Black America together, and I just thought that getting on a Zoom call with 12 other entertainers all shooting what they believe needs to be done, to me wasn’t going to be productive,” he told Fox Soul’s Cocktails with Queens at the time. Check out his latest political post below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Ice Cube and the 2024 Presidential Election on HotNewHipHop.

Ex-Yeezy Designer Claims Kanye West Has “Lost His Mind” And Works With “Toxic Losers”

by

Kanye West is still rolling VULTURES out with Ty Dolla $ign, but he’s also dealing with a media firestorm that has raged on for years now. For example, one of the many consequences of his antisemitic rants was the end of his Yeezy parternship with Adidas in 2022, one that famous sneaker designer Steven Smith helped broker all the way back in 2016. But it seems like that ship has also sailed. Moreover, new reports emerged that Ye fired Smith in early August of this year, and Smith spoke to Fast Company about this development. They described him as “a sensitive defender of Ye and, in particular, the treatment of his mental health.”

“He’s lost his mind,” Steven Smith said of Kanye West, which definitely indicates that he’s no longer as sympathetic as the publication suggested. “The whole of Yeezy is circling the drain and this is just part of it. He has surrounded himself with toxic, C-grade losers. […] I’m in a very happy place with it all. I will certainly be a priceless asset to whoever I work with next. It’s all his loss and the result of his foolishness.”

Kanye West & Steven Smith At The Fast Company Innovation Festival In 2019

Furthermore, Kanye West has apparently also blocked Steven Smith on Instagram, but Smith didn’t really elaborate on why Ye fired him, or if this is actually how things went down. After all, Fast Company claims that Smith “reached a breaking point” when the Chicago artist tried and failed to launch a porn company. But it’s difficult to identify exactly what caused the breakdown of their relationship, mostly because the heaps of controversy over the past few years leave a lot of options on the table.

Meanwhile, other Kanye West antics these days involve the arrest of a woman who claims he telepathically ordered her to steal a car. Whether it’s the zaniest of zany headlines or legitimately disturbing sexual harassment accusations, there’s a lot to unpack. Sadly, things haven’t really gotten any easier to deal with as of late. We just have to wait and see what happens next in the saga of Ye, and hope that there are brighter days to come.
