Daphne Joy Accuses 50 Cent Of Rape & Abuse, Addresses Diddy Sex Work Allegations

March 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, shocking new details of Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy became public, revealing that various others were named in the suit. Yung Miami, for example, is accused of trafficking “pink cocaine” for the mogul. She’s also accused of accepting monthly payments from him in exchange for sex work. Another person accused of accepting money from Diddy for sex work is the mother of 50 Cent’s son, Daphne Joy.

As expected, 50 Cent was quick to hop online to address the headlines, and to reveal that he’s now seeking sole custody of their 12-year-old. Now, Daphne Joy has taken to her own Instagram page to respond to the allegations, and to her ex’s harsh words. In a since-deleted post, Joy accuses Fif of only seeing his son ten times in two years, despite her and the pre-teen living only a mile away from him. Her allegations didn’t stop there, however.

“Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me,” she also wrote. “You are no longer my oppressor and God will handle you from this point on. You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family with these last and final false claims made against me.” Daphne Joy continued, denying ever being employed by Diddy as a sex worker.

“I am deeply hurt by the lies in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit,” she said. “The claim that I am a sex worker is 100% false and character assassination. I am retaining an attorney to explore all legal remedies against both Rodney and his attorney.” What do you think of Daphne Joy’s response to being named in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy?

March 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Trey Songz is no stranger to allegations, and this week, yet another one of his alleged victims shared her story. During a recent episode of Behind The Likes, Winter Blanco recalled her experience with the R&B singer, and why she decided to keep it to herself for years. She accuses Trey Songz of assaulting her in 2018, and says she previously stayed silent for the sake of her career.

“He put his hands on me and I never talked about it,” she told her co-host, Chy Fontenette. “This is the first time I’ve ever talked about this publicly, I really don’t give a f*ck anymore. He put his hands on me, scared the f*ck out of me and I never said anything.”

Winter continued, revealing that other alleged victims’ lawyers have reached out, but she always chose not to get involved. “At the time there were girls settling for like $100,000, $200,000 and I never did it… In 2020, when that girl came out saying that he raped her, I had her lawyer reach out to me… I was like ‘I can’t be a part of it.’ But like, now where I am in my life, I’m tired of letting abusers get away with so much sh*t,” she explained. “I was not going to ever talk about it because I was still trying to do music, I was just like, ‘I don’t want this to affect my career.’”

“I was with a group of friends when it happened. They didn’t see it happened but I went and got in the car with them after and I had like, marks on my neck and scratches on my neck. All my nails were broken, my hands were bleeding, my knees were scraped up and sh*t,” she said. “[Trey Songz] was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know what you think happened but you were drunk and you hit me…. And I was like, ‘You are not going to trick me and play with my mind. I know what you did to me and you’re not going to convince me otherwise.’” What do you think of Winter Blanco revealing that she was allegedly assaulted by Trey Songz? Are you surprised?

FKA Twigs Claims Shia LeBeouf’s Alleged Abuse “Changed Her Nervous System”

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

FKA Twigs has opened up about the long-term effects of the abuse she claims to have suffered at the hands of Shia LeBeouf. “I’d be sad for six months to a year, and then one day, I’d wake up, and everything would be fine. But the fact is being abused changes the whole of your nervous system,” Twigs told Vogue UK. The interview came as part of Twigs’ appearance on the cover of the long-running fashion and lifestyle magazine. As seen below, her cover shoot involved her posing atop of a London taxi cab.

Twigs’ lawsuit against LeBeouf is still pending. She accused the actor of “relentless abuse”, up to an including sexual assault, during their relationship between September 2018 and May 2019. While LeBeouf initially denied the allegations, comments made on a podcast in 2022 appeared to imply that at least some of Twigs’ allegations were true. However, as mentioned, the case is still pending and could take time as their “hectic work schedules” have made hearings hard to schedule.

FKA Twigs’ End-Of-Year Photo Dump Earns Backlash From Swifties

Elsewhere, last year, Swifties went after Twigs over a perceived slight from the British artist’s end-of-year photo dump. One particular moment saw Twigs and her friends lying in bed as an overheard camera panned across them. However, Swifties have interpreted this as a recreation of Kanye West‘s music video for “Famous”. In the video, Kanye is famously seen in a similar panning shot beside a naked Taylor Swift. While Twigs did feature alongside Kanye on Ty Dolla $ign‘s “Ego Death”, there is no indication that her recent video was anything but coincidentally similar.

Regardless, the respective fan bases of Swift and Twigs waged war across social media. The Swifties have accused Twigs of taking unprovoked shots at Swift. Meanwhile, Twigs’ fans are arguing that the Swifties are overly sensitive and have decided to start beef where there isn’t any. At the time of writing, neither artist has addressed the situation.

Joe Budden Defends Russell Simmons As “Kind, Gentle, & Sweet” Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Joe Budden has come to the defense of Russell Simmons after over a dozen women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against him. The conversation arose while Budden was discussing Def Jam co-founder linking up with Usher in Bali. After Simmons shared the picture of himself with Usher, fans on social media condemned the iconic singer for being affiliated with him.

“They love Russell Simmons,” Joe Budden said on his podcast. “I know y’all don’t want to say it, y’all don’t want to admit to it. I know people seen whatever doc they seen, people believe what they believe. There’s nothing y’all can do to make people stop loving Russell Simmons. Not a thing in the world. Not a thing in the universe is going to make people stop loving Russell Simmons for as many lives as he impacted.”

He continued to say that Simmons “has been nothing but kind, gentle, sweet, generous and amazing if you don’t have that horror story.” He added: “As somebody that has spent a lot of time in the music business, nobody speaks to the side where the women were auctioning their p*ssy to move up in the ranks of the system. This existed way before I got to town. But that was happening too. But nobody says that part. Again, I’m not speaking about Russell Simmons, I’m just talking blanket, broad.” Check out the full podcast episode below.

Jonathan Majors Faces New Allegations From Two Ex-Partners

February 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Two women, Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper, have gone public with allegations of physical and emotional abuse against actor Jonathan Majors. Both women had their allegations referred to in a Rolling Stone exposé about Majors last year. However, the pair have since publicly reiterated their claims in an interview with The New York Times. Duncan claims that Majors “threw her across the room” and “threatened to make sure she couldn’t have children” during a fight in 2016. Meanwhile, Hooper called Majors “deeply controlling” and told her she was “not allowed to speak with anyone about the relationship”. While Majors has denied the accusations, his attorney noted that the actor was “deeply embarrassed by some of his jealous behavior”. Both women had previously declined to speak directly to Rolling Stone, with one citing a fear of retribution.

The testimony of Duncan and Hooper follows semi-public claims from another woman, who spoke to The Cut under a pseudonym. “Anna” told the publication that she had pulled her story from the Rolling Stone article after receiving a threatening letter warning her not to go public with her allegations. According to “Anna”, the phone number included with the letter was linked to the law firm retained by Majors for his criminal trial last year. Majors’ attorney denied any involvement from her or her firm in the letter.

Jonathan Majors Sentencing Delayed

Two of Jonathan Majors’ exes have come forward to accuse him of abuse.

Meanwhile, a judge delayed the sentencing of Majors after the actor’s legal team filed to dismiss his guilty verdict. Majors’ team argued that the actor had not been given a fair trial. The argument is based on the premise that the prosecution had portrayed the actor’s assault on his ex-girlfriend as intentional. However, they then eventually asked the jury to consider his actions “reckless”. As a result, the presiding judge has continued Majors’ case until early April.

Majors was found guilty of misdemeanor reckless assault in the third degree and a violation of harassment. However, he was acquitted on additional charges of assault and aggravated harassment. Despite this, Majors has continued to feel the professional ramifications of his verdict. The most notable of these professional consequences is that Disney has officially decided to recast Kang the Conqueror, Majors’ pivotal MCU role.

Lizzo’s Inclusion At The Grammys Slammed By Her Accusers

February 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This year’s Grammy ceremony took place over the weekend and featured a number of interesting moments. Jay-Z accepted a special award but used his platform to attack the Academy itself. Killer Mike won three awards during the pre show before being arrested backstage and led out in handcuffs. Fans of artists like Lana Del Rey and Nicki Minaj criticized the Grammys online as their career-long snubs continued.

Another surprising moment centered around Lizzo. She’s no stranger to the Grammys as she took home an award for her song “About Damn Time” last year. She also performed the track during last year’s ceremony. In that sense, it’s not a huge surprise that she was present at this year’s awards. What’s more surprising is that she was picked to be directly involved in the proceedings. She gave out one of the night’s awards which immediately struck many as a strange choice. She’s still very much in hot water after being accused of a variety of bad behaviors by numerous former backup dancers in a lawsuit last year.

Lizzo’s Accusers Slam Grammy Inclusion

Following her presentation of the Best R&B Song award a representative of multiple accusers from the initial lawsuit spoke out. Neama Rahmani spoke to TMZ about Lizzo’s inclusion. He criticized the decision and claimed that the Academy wasn’t taking the allegations made against her seriously. He said that if elements like her race and gender were different she would never be given the platform.

Rahmani also insists that the truth behind the lawsuit will eventually come out and that they’re still fighting for the stories of her backup dancers to be told. Earlier this week, the lawsuit was amended. A number of the allegations included in the original suit were removed by the judge. But plenty of damning material is still included and the suit is still moving forward. What do you think of Lizzo being allowed to present an award at the Grammys? Do you agree with the statement made by her accusers? Let us know in the comment section below.

Doja Cat’s Brother Denies Accusations, Claims Family Hasn’t Spoken To Him In Years

January 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat’s brother has apparently responded to the shocking news that his mother filed for a temporary restraining order against him for alleged abuse. Moreover, The Shade Room acquired video of someone seemingly running into him on the street and asking him about these accusations. Then, Raman Dalithando Dlamini posited that there is no restraining order against him, contrary to what many reports have indicated from legal documents. In addition, he outright denied ever abusing his mother or his sister, who did not escape mention in this alleged filing. Specifically, in these allegations, Raman is accused of punching her teeth out, causing cuts and bruises, and suffering property destruction and theft.

Furthermore, the “JEEZU” rapper’s mother (Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer) reportedly got a temporary restraining order from a judge after she accused Raman of physical and verbal abuse over the past year, as recently as earlier this month. But he retorted that there is no restraining order, and that he’s not in touch with either her or Doja Cat. When approached by paparazzi on Thursday (January 18), he initially denied being her brother before telling them, “No comment.” Eventually, he denied the existence of the filing and spoke on the alleged distance between him and his family.

Not only that, but Sawyer also included details of his alleged verbal abuse against the Coachella 2024 headliner, labeling it “very degrading and demeaning.” She said that it’s left her daughter feeling “unsafe and traumatized,” but a judge didn’t include any more details about Doja Cat and maintained that she would have to file herself to continue. Now, the family awaits a hearing on a permanent restraining order. The superstar artist hasn’t commented on this situation at press time.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear whether this case will develop further or if this temporary restraining order is where things turn around. Given the conflicting narratives at play here, it’s very hard to say whether the truth will come out eventually. We’ll see what the future holds for the “Woman” hitmaker. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Doja Cat.

Memphitz Claims K. Michelle Lied About Abuse To Derail His Wedding

December 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Memphitz has hit back at claims that he physically abused K. Michelle. Appearing on a talk show, Memphitz claimed that Michelle had straight up told him that she was going to telling people that he abused her. This was due to Michelle not wanting to see him happy in his then-upcoming marriage to Toya. This goes against the deposition that Memphitz underwent in which he admitted to abusing Michelle. However, in this new clip, which you can see in full below, Memphitz bluntly states that he “never hit that crazy b-tch”.

However, fans weren’t having it online. “He so sick he know he beat the daylights out that woman because we seen how you treated Toya. SMH only if Rasheeda woulda believed K. Michelle and warned her friend ,” one person noted. “I mean her songs bout u came out before u got with Toya so math not mathing ,” added another. In short, it seems like Memphitz’s claims that Michelle was just trying to cause trouble for him have fallen on deaf ears.

Memphitz Still Insists K. Michelle Is Lying

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

However, this isn’t the first time that Memphitz has used the argument that Michelle lied. Back in September, after allegations came out about Carlos King, Memphitz jumped on the train demonizing the embattled producer. “He’s also the one that told K.Michelle to tell people I hit her before. All of Ratings. K told me. My brother right? Way ta go Los. Kim told Me he coached her on what to say & how to say it so her story line would get ratings. F-ck me huh?” Memphitz said.

Furthermore, Memphitz received a pretty fiery response from the now-husband of Toya. After Memphitz had posted a picture from his time with Toya, her current husband hit him with the Will Smith Oscars moment and a stern caption. “I was raised in GA, one thing my good brother @troubleman31 always taught us. DISRESPECT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. PERIOD!!!’ AND IM STANDING ON THAT SH-T 110 PERCENT,” Robert Rushing wrote on social media.

“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,” the statement read. “For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail.
