“Beautiful Girls” singer Sean Kingston was arrested at Fort Irwin in California’s Mojave Desert yesterday (May 23), immediately after performing a concert there, on fraud and theft charges, TMZ reports.

A company named Ver Ver Entertainment filed a civil complaint against Kingston and attorney Dennis Card, who represents the company, alleged (via Local 10), “He basically has a sales pitch that he goes through to defraud people. He induces them into giving him really expensive things. We know that our property is inside this house right here, so as soon as the raid takes place we are going to have a crew of people in there to reassemble it and take it back to its rightful owner.”

In terms of the raid Card mentioned: Kingston’s arrest followed a SWAT raid on his Florida home, where his mother, Janice Turner, was arrested. She was taken into custody on “numerous fraud and theft charges.”

The complaint from Ver Ver claims Kingston used his celebrity status to scam people out of products and services: In one alleged example, he partially paid for a television and entertainment system, but never paid for it in full following installation.

Following his mother’s arrest, Kingston wrote in an Instagram Story post yesterday, “People love negative energy! I am good and so is my mother!.. my lawyers are handling everything as we speak.”

Sexyy Red Continues Her Dominant Run With “In Sexyy We Trust”

Just about a week ago, one of hip-hop’s leading ladies, Sexyy Red, announced her new tape In Sexyy We Trust. She revealed this information over social media and that it would arrive on Memorial Day weekend. This project, like Hood Hottest Princess, sees the St. Louis rapper try to improve on her ratchet trap sound which continues to grow in popularity. For the most part, she does while bringing some of her most memorable performances to date.

The mixtape begins with a hilarious rendition of the intro to “Love Sosa,” only this time it is some random British dude. Following that, she expertly follows up on that opening message by kicking the door down on “She’s Back.” Of course, the major talking point of In Sexyy We Trust is “U My Everything” featuring Drake. However, there is lot more to this 14-track offering than just that. For starters, you have the mixtape’s lead single “Get It Sexyy,” which fits perfectly into the tracklist and still hits hard.

50 Cent Keeps Claiming That Diddy Might Take His Own Life Amid Sexual Assault Lawsuits

50 Cent has gone to pretty much every emotional extreme in his attempts to mock Diddy amid his various abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking lawsuits. Moreover, he’s been as sadly mournful, overtly gleeful, conspiratorial, troll-heavy, and angry as he’s ever been in his attacks against the Bad Boy mogul. But even the biggest Puff haters might do a double take with Fif’s recent rhetorical focus when it comes to his comments on the matter. For example, he recently reacted to yet another sexual assault lawsuit against Sean Combs with a potentially insensitive and morbid thought that fans might not stomach well.

“[Eyes emoji] Damn man I have never seen anything like this before, if you cool with puffy call him,” 50 Cent captioned a recent Instagram post sharing a news story on Diddy’s newest lawsuit. “He might boom [explosion emoji] his self. Meeka check on ya man !” Furthermore, this isn’t the first time that he’s referred to this dark act in relation to this situation. “Got damn boy another one,” the G-Unit mogul wrote in a since-deleted IG post reacting to another lawsuit against Combs this week. “This my last puffy post I think he might kill himself. I don’t want no parts of that.”

50 Cent Reacts To Newest Diddy Lawsuit

While that obviously wasn’t true, as 50 Cent continues to troll Diddy online, a lot of other folks weren’t as quick to jump to these conclusions. Also, this new wave of lawsuits comes amid recently released footage of the music executive assaulting his then-partner Cassie in a hotel hallway. This represented the final straw for folks that previously doubted the potential for crimes here, but the word “potential” is key here. After all, many of the other atrocities that are being accused haven’t been scrutinized by a court of law or other evidence as of writing this article.

Meanwhile, we’ll see what these new lawsuits result in and whether there’s a big update on the Diddy case in the works. Of course, we know that 50 Cent will probably be first in line to comment on it either way, and we can never underestimate the unexpected from him. Hopefully more action comes about in the near future to push these cases along and get to the bottom of things as fast as possible, whether to condemn or to clear. But this accusatory ambiguity, resulting in self-harm jokes, has proven to be more dangerous than we thought.

Angel Reese Takes Shot At Charles Barkley, Some Think It’s Aimed At Caitlin Clark

Angel Reese, a player known for her outspoken nature, has been a prominent figure since her breakout with the LSU Tigers a few years ago. Her impact, both on and off the court, has been significant since the start of her WNBA career. As her platform expands, she maintains the same attitude that has made her a household name. After the Chicago Sky’s victory over the New York Liberty on Thursday night, Reese took to social media. She addressed her critics, including, it seems, Charles Barkley, sparking speculation.

Barkley asserted on Inside the NBA on Wednesday night that rather than attacking Indiana Fever player Caitlin Clark, WNBA women should be appreciating the attention she was bringing to the league. The Caitlin Clark discourse is reaching problematic levels. Her popularity is bringing in all sorts of people to voice their opinions on a sport they don’t really know anything about. Reese appears to have taken that personally and is determined to show that a successful team requires more than just one player.

Angel Reese Throws Shots At Charles Barkley And Maybe Caitlin Clark

There are several levels in Angel Reese’s tweet that has social media buzzing. Reese, for starters, notes that her team won, which is noteworthy given that Clark and the Fever are 0-5 on the season despite being on national TV constantly, generating television viewership. Clark also references the sold-out crowd at the Sky’s win, a game that didn’t feature Caitlin Clark at all. Reese also mentions that she and her teammates are continuing to travel on charter flights. Something that WNBA players have been working to alter for years. Barkley told the WNBA players they should be grateful for Caitlin Clark improving their travel plans despite the charter flights still being up in the air for half the league. 

The Twitter shots definitely targeted Barkley and other men who chimed in on the WNBA. Caitlin Clark was not mentioned, and everything Reese said was aimed at the discourse and the figures perpetuating it. Angel Reese is balling and is one of many rookies who are showcasing the future of the league. If the WNBA is smart, they will try to turn all of these spectacular rookies into household names instead of putting all their eggs in the Caitlin Clark basket.

Sexyy Red Originally Previewed Drake’s “BBL Drizzy” Verse To Gillie Da Kid & Wallo: Watch

Sexyy Red and Drake surprised fans last night with a brand-new collaboration. Overall, they combined their talents on the song “U MY EVERYTHING” which can be found on Sexyy’s new project In Sexyy We Trust. What makes this particular track from the two stand out is the fact that it samples “BBL Drizzy.” For those who are out of the loop, “BBL Drizzy” is a beat that Metro Boomin made as a way to poke fun of Drake and kick him while he was already down in the Kendrick Lamar beef.

So far, the reactions to Drake’s new verse have been polarizing. Some appreciate the fact that he would go out of his way to troll, while others think he is just proving Kendrick to be correct in his character assessments. Either way, it has been a pretty wild turn of events, and fans are still reeling. Now, footage is coming out of Sexyy Red previewing the track to Gillie Da Kid and Wallo. In the clip below, you can see them absorbing Drake’s verse, although Wallo seems more confused than impressed.

During this clip, Sexyy Red also explains how the song was originally made for Chief Keef. The two have great musical chemistry, and he reportedly wanted her to make an R&B track with him.

Let us know what you thought of the new collaboration between Drake and Sexyy Red, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Drake has effectively turned the tide of the beef by rapping over “BBL Drizzy?” Or was this a corny move that fans are going to continue hating on?

Sean Kingston Arrested Hours After House Raid On Fraud & Theft Charges

Just hours after his mother went into police custody during a SWAT raid on his Florida mansion, authorities arrested Sean Kingston at a California concert on fraud and theft charges. Moreover, he was performing at Fort Irwin for U.S. Army personnel, as indicated by social media coverage of these chaotic developments and some surfaced show clips. The singer and rapper now awaits extradition to Florida, where authorities filed these charges, from a San Bernadino jail. Authorities arrested his mother Janice Turner on similar charges of fraud and theft, which he reacted to via his Instagram Story. “People love negative energy! I am good and so is my mother! My lawyers are handling everything as we speak.”

Furthermore, this all relates to a lawsuit against Sean Kingston filed earlier this year from the company Ver Ver Entertainment LLC. They claim Kingston breached his contract with them and committed fraud when he reached out to buy a big TV and sound system. Rather than paying over $100,000 for the goods, he allegedly promised the company that he and “Eenie Meenie” collaborator Justin Bieber would make promotional videos for it. Following a $30,000 down payment and the promise of another $47,000 sum down the line, this promise allegedly never manifested after they installed the TV, and neither did the social media promotions.

Sean Kingston Arrested During Performance

Previously, Sean Kingston caught accusations of failing to pay for certain items, such as a November 2023 debacle with watch company Dream Watch over two unpaid pieces: a Richard Millie Model RM 65.01 Automatic and a Patek Phillipe Calibre. The company, seeking an award of over a million dollars, claimed that he contacted them in 2022 to buy the watches. Apparently, a representative flew from Malaysia to Los Angeles to give them. Allegedly, the Jamaican-American creative didn’t have the money for them, despite promising to pay via wire transfer.

“Sean Kingston represented his initial wire attempt was rejected because it was flagged by his bank due to the large amount being wired overseas,” the lawsuit read. “Thereafter, Kingston represented his account was frozen due to the initial wire attempt, amongst other excuses which persisted for over three months until Kingston stopped responding to Plaintiff entirely. Ultimately, the agreed upon funds [are still missing], and Defendants continue to refuse to render payment as agreed. Defendant Kingston continues to possess the two watches.”
