Irv Gotti Denies Sexual Assault & Abuse Allegations And Claims He’s Being Extorted

by

Via an alleged representative, Irv Gotti has denied the sexual assault and abuse allegations against him by an anonymous woman in a new lawsuit. Moreover, TMZ reportedly obtained a statement about how he might file a countersuit since the Jane Doe in question only made this case once he refused her requests for monetary compensation. Allegedly, this lawsuit against Gotti emerged “after Mr. Gotti rejected the attempt by this individual to coerce a payment of money from him. The lawsuit contains a single page of ‘facts’ which are unsworn to, sparse by any measure, and which Mr. Gotti categorically denies.”

Furthermore, the mystery female filed suit against Irv Gotti on July 11 in Florida with accusations of sexual assault, battery, and intentionally inflicted emotional distress. She alleges that he abused her during two years of dating beginning in 2020, and that “Gotti coerced Plaintiff into having sex with him” on vacation, the lawsuit reads. Other details of alleged “unwanted sexual acts” include that “Gotti forced her to perform oral sex on him in an elevator,” and that later that year, “he again forced her to perform oral sex on him in an Uber.” The relationship apparently ended after this.

“The allegations represent an affront to women who have truly suffered abuse,” Irv Gotti’s representative added. “Mr. Gotti has been surrounded by strong women the entirety of his life. His mother, five sisters, and daughter. The top employees at his company are women. Mr. Gotti’s relationships with women have been characterized by mutual respect, honesty, and empathy [and] Mr. Gotti’s reputation has been placed at issue.” In addition, the rep called this a “baseless” lawsuit and revealed that the Murder Inc. executive might retort with a countersuit.

Meanwhile, this is definitely a much larger issue than what Irv Gotti had previously faced on social media as of late. When Ashanti and Nelly announced that they’re expecting a child, the Internet trolled him into oblivion. But now things became much darker and much less fun to joke about. Hopefully we get to the bottom of this case and those criminally responsible see the justice that they deserve.

Kanye West Hit With Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Over “Donda” Tracks

by

Kanye West has been wrapped up in his fair share of legal trouble as of late. Now, he’s been hit with yet another lawsuit. This time, he’s being accused of copyright infringement by Artist Revenue Advocates. The suit alleges that Ye used DJ Khalil and three other artists’ work without paying them or getting permission and that he partook in “blatant theft.”

According to AllHipHop, DJ Khalil worked with Sam Barsh, Dan Seeff, and Josh Mease to create a track in 2018. It was later included in a “composer pack” for interested buyers. It was used on Ye’s Donda songs “Hurricane” and “Moon,” though he allegedly didn’t have permission.

“The West Defendants did, at various times, seek the Artists’ permission to include the Work in ‘Hurricane.’ No permission was granted,” the lawsuit reads. “In an act of blatant brazenness, Defendants even credited the Artists as songwriters and producers on both ‘Hurricane’ and ‘Moon,’” it continues. “Of course, given that Defendants knew they did not have permission to use the Work. The fact that they credit the Artists as songwriters and producers is effectively an admission of copyright infringement.”

“West’s unlawful use of the Work follows an unfortunate pattern and practice of taking other artists’ music without their permission,” the lawsuit adds. “Other instances of willful infringement by West include unauthorized use of music from Ozzy Osbourne and Donna Summer. West’s history of deliberate use of the music of others stands in stark contrast with his position as a supposed champion of artists’ rights.” The plaintiff is seeking undisclosed damages.

Joe Budden Denies Getting Lap Dance From Cardi B After Cardi Goes Off On Him In Fiery Twitter Spaces Rant

by

It’s no secret that Cardi B and Joe Budden haven’t always been on the best of terms, but recently, they took things to a whole new level. Today, the “Bongos” performer went live on Twitter spaces, calling out Budden for seemingly having nothing but negative things to say about her. Her rant appeared to be a response to Budden claiming that Cardi won’t be dropping another album on his podcast, and speculating that she’ll become a “single artist” instead.

“I don’t understand why I keep getting harassed by this man,” she said. “You want to hear my album so bad, you can pull up to my studio session. You could pull up! But I’m really sick and tired of you keeping my name in your f*cking mouth and then you’re acting like you’re keeping it there because you really want a project from me. No, you want to tear my project down like you tear down every one of my singles. You tear down my single, you tear down my personal life, you tear down everything I f*cking do. So it’s not coming from a genuine place.”

She continued, urging Budden to just leave her alone, and slamming him for being overtly critical of her in particular. Cardi even accused him of having received a lap dance from her, doing cocaine, and more. As clips from the rant began to make their rounds online, Budden took to X to respond. “I promise you and can assure you, i will not cover a single thing this girl does for the remainder of her career… Peace & love,” he wrote. “I have also never gotten a lap dance from this lady.”

Budden went on to deny doing cocaine too, and to insist that he actually loves Cardi’s music. “I really just wanted an album from someone whose music i love,” he said. “She cursing me smooth out but she still hilarious lol…. I’m going to bed, i apologize to @iamcardib for whatever i did and peace and love to all.”

Saweetie Checks Critic Accusing Her Of Faking Her Childhood Struggles

by

Saweetie has found a great deal of success through her music, but unfortunately, she’s also been hit with a tremendous amount of criticism. In the past, she’s had to shut down “nepo baby” accusations, making it clear that her upbringing wasn’t all that easy. Recently, she also revealed that her parents were absent throughout much of her childhood. She opened up about receiving apologies from both of them later in life.

Many fans praised Saweetie for being transparent about her struggles and being a role model for those who have gone through anything similar. Some, on the other hand, accused her of lying about her come-up. Earlier this week, she took to X to respond to one critic, reminding them of the impact their negativity could have on others.

Saweetie Responds To Criticism After Sharing Her Story

“This whole press run with her trying to convince everyone she grew up struggling is lame. Everyone goes through things. But she lied about being homeless for years and only now wants to talk about how she wasn’t close with her parents seems fake to me,” the critic wrote. Saweetie called them out in her response. According to her, these kinds of comments can lead people to stop sharing their stories altogether. “& this is why some prefer to appear cold & emotionless because vulnerability is mocked,” she said.

Fans are glad that she didn’t let the comment slide, and are calling critics out for pretending they know Saweetie better than Saweetie herself. “Y’all trying to tell this woman her own life story,” one supporter says. “She’s been saying these same things for years,” another points out. What do you think of critics accusing Saweetie of lying about the struggles she went through growing up? What about her calling one out on X?

ZillaKami Accused Of Sleeping With Underage Girls & Emotional Abuse By Ex-Girlfriend

by

ZillaKami of City Morgue faced some harrowing accusations from his ex-girlfriend and from a woman who claimed to have slept with him when she was underage. Moreover, fashion designer Decki alleged that the “0%” rapper emotionally abused her, and included alleged screenshots of him reaching out to an underage fan. The alleged then-underage fan in question, Sleezy Skiz, shared her own version of the story and explained how he cut things off after he rejected his attempts to have more sexual relations. As for the New York MC, he denied all these accusations but was not very specific in his address. “@zillakami is a pedophile and one of the most evil ppl I’ve ever known and robbed me of everything in my life,” Decki wrote.

“Not to mention has a serious Asian fetish and traveled to Thailand with a sex tourist and ordered countless prostitutes,” she continued of the “LIFE SUCKS SO WE F**K” artist. “Please do me a favour and remove this ‘rapper’ who still lives with his mother and treats his whole family horrible from ur playlist. If he want to take it legally there I would love to. Zillakami is ur favorite rapper but he had sex with a 15 year old at 22. And yall wonder why I kept my silence about dating him for years. I have screenshots of Zillakami in his 20s linking sleezy Skiz when she was 15. Zillakami emotionally abused me for years landed me in the hospital. His entire camp countlessly has underaged girls back stage and done unthinkable I wouldn’t wish what he’s done to me on my worst enemy.”

“I was 14 when Zillakami first reached out to me,” Sleezy Skiz wrote of the My Bloody America spitter. “He was fully aware of my age as I was honest about it. When we hung out the first time he [gave] me shrooms… The second time we hung out, I was 15. This time we engaged in sexual intercourse. I had a lot of respect for him as an artist back then but after that time I didn’t see him the same way. When he messaged me again… he asked to hang out and I said we could but it wouldn’t be like last time because there was someone I was trying to be serious with (my ex.) After I told him that he stopped messaging me and we didn’t talk ever again. One day I realized my messages with Zillakami disappeared.”

“dealing with severe depression during and after the last tour ended me up the clinic where I was told by doctors I needed time to focus on myself,” ZillaKami of City Morgue responded. “Dealing with a person that was around me… they took advantage of me being blind to what they tried to sell me as love. But it was only ‘love’ until they no longer had access to me or the things that I could provide. Trying to isolate me from my loved ones and friends [with] harmful substances to alter my state of mind and keep me in the dark. When a person cannot get what they want from someone they obsessively try to victimize their self. But I will handle this professionally instead of taking it to the internet. My legal team will ensure any false defamation against me is taken care of.”

Kanye West’s Attorney Wants Out Of Assault Case Due To Alleged Lack Of Payment

by

Kanye West is currently facing his fair share of legal woes, as he was sued by a group of alleged ex-Yeezy employees just last week. Reportedly, however, the hitmaker might need to work on finding new representation. According to MyNewsLA, his attorney Brian Brumfield recently asked to be removed from one of Ye’s cases. The case in question stems from a 2022 run-in with a fan who wanted an autograph, Justin Poplawski. Unfortunately, Ye allegedly punched Poplawski in the face as a result. Earlier this year, Poplawski filed a lawsuit against the Chicago MC for alleged assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and more.

Brumfield alleges that Ye’s refused to pay him for his work on the case, and also claims he’s refused to speak to him. “Defendant … will not speak to counsel and defendant refuses to pay counsel as well,” he wrote in a court filing on Monday (July 1). A hearing on Brumfield’s motion is currently scheduled for later this month.

As for the case itself, authorities investigated the incident and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office eventually decided not to press charges. Ye previously admitted to hitting the fan in an interview, claiming that he was trying to make money off of his autograph, and denying any wrongdoing. “It was 3 a.m. in front of the [Soho] Warehouse,” he said. “I’m saying, ‘You don’t know what I’m dealing with right now.’ I just finished these two songs. I came from the studio.”

“And this dude, he just had this real attitude like, ‘What you gonna do? And see that?’” he also added. “I’ma just tell you – that blue COVID-19 mask ain’t stop that knockout.” What do you think of Ye’s attorney accusing him of failing to pay him? Are you surprised?

Ice Spice’s Hairstylist Shuts Down Nicki Minaj Style-Biting Accusations

by

Recently, Ice Spice took to social media to tease her upcoming album Y2K! whilst sporting a brand-new hairstyle. Instead of her signature curls or even her more recent long and sleek look, she rocked a voluminous bob. This immediately prompted fans to compare her to Nicki Minaj, who’s worn a similar style in the past, and who’s famously collaborated with Ice Spice on multiple tracks. While some saw nothing wrong with this, others thought she was taking her Nicki admiration a bit too far, and accused her of biting her style.

Amid chatter surrounding the controversial hairdo, the stylist behind it took to Twitter/X to show off her work and was immediately flooded with comments about Nicki. “Reference was Princess Diana, and she nailed it!” she captioned a side-by-side image of the two ladies’ looks. “She really is the modern Princess Diana.”

“Reference was Nicki Minaj actually,” one critic wrote in her comments section, prompting the hairstylist to fire back. “Not everything is about Nicki,” she said. “This was a Princess Diana recreation, aka what she and the general public have been calling her since she started rapping.” As expected, her remark has done little to quell the style-biting accusations. Instead, it appears to have only ramped them up.

“Everything is about Nicki,” one Instagram user claims in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “Baby that’s a Nicki wig,” someone else writes, “Next!” Others are arguing that the look isn’t that big of a deal, despite whoever might have inspired it. What do you think of Ice Spice’s new hairstyle? How about her hairstylist firing back amid claims she was inspired by Nicki Minaj? What about her insisting it was actually inspired by Princess Diana?

Tyla Addresses Colorism Allegations In Letter To Fans

by

Tyla was one of the biggest breakout stars of 2023. She released her single “Water” in the first half of the year and it slowly climbed its way up the charts eventually becoming a smash hit. The song currently sits with more than 670 million streams on Spotify. It even got a remix late last year featuring an assist from Travis Scott with that version generating more than 50 million streams of its own. It all led to her self-titled debut album which dropped earlier this year. The project sparked even more success for the R&B star with songs like “Jump” and “Truth Or Dare.”

But now she’s found herself having to address some fan concerns. After apparently seeing one too many accusations of colorism online she felt the need to respond. “Yoh guys. Never denied my blackness, idk where that came from. I’m mixed with black/Zulu, Irish, Mauritian/Indian and Coloured. In Southa I would be classified as a Coloured woman and other places I would be classified as a black woman. Race is classified differently in different parts of the world,” her statement begins. “I don’t expect to be classified as Coloured outside of Southa by anyone not comfortable doing so because I understand the weight of that word outside of SA. But to close this conversation, I’m both Coloured in South Africa and a black woman. As a woman for the culture. It’s and not or… with that being said ASAMBEEE” she concludes. Check out the full statement below.

What do you think of Tyla’s lengthy new Twitter post addressing allegations of colorism made against her? Do you agree with fans that she should ignore those criticizing her and focus on doing her best work possible? Let us know it the comment section below.

FBG Butta Roasts Lil Durk, Accuses Him Of Being “The Feds”

by

FBG Butta is certainly no stranger to making wild claims about his peers, and Lil Durk is no exception. During a recent interview with VladTV, Butta went in on the “All My Life” performer, even accusing him of cooperating with federal authorities. According to him, it’s suspicious that despite being involved in so many cases, Durk is a free man.

Butta also pointed out that he was taken into custody due to his own name being mentioned, even though he’s not as well-known as Durk. “His sh*t got brought up way more than mine,” he explained. “And he got some money too… He’s the feds, gang.” Butta didn’t stop there, however. He also went on to suggest that Lil Durk could be tied to the Illuminati in some way.

FBG Butta Wonders How Lil Durk Has Stayed Out Of Jail

“A lot of people died around Durk from his brother to Von to a whole bunch of other people,” DJ Vlad explained, prompting Butta to share his theory. “Sounds like the Illuminati to me,” he said. “Sounds like Illuminati sacrifices.” He also brought up some dark conspiracy theories about FBG Duck and other prominent rappers, suggesting that manipulation by record labels could be at play. Obviously, none of this is confirmed, and all purely speculation. Durk has yet to respond to FBG Butta’s claims.

This is far from the only criticism Lil Durk has received as of late, however. Earlier this month, the Chicago-born performer debuted a massive new star of Islam chain, which earned him a great deal of backlash online. Commenters called him out for seemingly living a lifestyle that doesn’t align with the teachings of Islam, while others said that men wearing chains is Haram.

Tory Lanez “Antagonized” Megan Thee Stallion Amid Legal Battle, Wack 100 Alleges

by

In August of last year, Tory Lanez was sentenced to ten years in prison after being found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. Despite his conviction, fans have continued to debate whether or not they believe the rapper is guilty of harming the “Hiss” performer, with many insisting that he’s innocent. Wack 100 is one of them, and he’s made it clear that he thinks Meg has been lying this entire time.

In fact, earlier this year he claimed that there’s footage of the shooting that would cost the femcee her whole career. Of course, there’s no evidence that this actually exists. Regardless, he continues to speak his mind about the case.

Wack 100 On The Jason Lee Show

During his recent appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Wack shared his take on Meg, accusing her of lying. He says that she may have simply been intoxicated the night of the shooting. Therefore, he thinks she doesn’t really remember what happened at all. According to him, it’s possible that Tory Lanez’s treatment of Meg after the incident was what actually caused the legal battle to escalate.

“She’s a liar, not a snitch,” Wack began. “Oh it’s f*cked up, [the receipts] are coming out one way or another. They’re just delaying it cuz they’re trying to get it in court. If they can’t get it in court, it’s gonna hit the net. And when it hits the net, they’re gonna see that there’s an innocent man in jail… I believe that he antagonized her to a point where she got upset. And women can be vindictive and women can be evil.” What do you think of Wack 100 alleging that Tory Lanez “antagonized” Megan Thee Stallion?
