Diddy Accused Of Withholding Evidence In Ex-Nanny’s Wrongful Firing Case

October 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As successful as this year was for Diddy, it also came with its fair share of legal complications and cases. For example, one that developed towards the end of 2022 and carried over into 2023 has to do with a nanny that he fired. Raven Walden sued the Bad Boy mogul in September of last year for wrongful termination, alleging that he let her go because she requested maternity leave and “set a bad example” for his daughters by getting pregnant out of wedlock. Now, according to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Walden requested that the court force him to hand over evidence she requested in the case months ago.

Not only that, but Walden and her lawyers want a judge to impose sanctions on Diddy for his negligence in this. Specifically, they accused him of improper proceedings in the discovery process, as they allegedly controlled what the court and the case had access to. According to the plaintiff’s team, Sean Combs and his legal team “abused the discovery process with impunity and have shown no regard for this Court’s directions to them, their own promises, or their discovery obligations.” As such, it will be interesting to see how this case develops in court when this debacle over evidence is such a big component.

In response to all this, Diddy sought to dismiss this lawsuit promptly, and fired off some counterclaims at Walden. Maintaining that he fired her for good-faith and non-discriminatory reasons, he alleged that she “[wasn’t] performing all of her job duties as required.” In addition, Puff Daddy stated that Walden “received compensation for work that was not performed, thus resulting in wages being paid to [her] that were not owed.” This is relevant because Walden seeks an unspecified amount in damages for the allegedly wrongful termination, which he might counter with these claims of overpayment.

Meanwhile, the music executive also detailed steps to “implement internal grievance processes designed to respond to, correct, remedy, or otherwise avoid the alleged harm, if any.” He said Walden didn’t take advantage of these, and thus her grievances are less justified. We’ll see where the court sides on these matters. For more news and updates on Diddy, log back into HNHH.

Diddy Accused By Diageo Of Working Against Other Black-Owned Businesses

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy and liquor company Diageo are locked in a nasty lawsuit right now, with both alleging mismanagement, a poor working relationship, and lack of support against each other. Moreover, Sean Combs sued the spirits conglomerate back in May of 2023, with whom he masterminded Ciroc vodka in 2007 and DeLeón tequila in 2013. While Ciroc was a resounding success for both, DeLeón was less so, and his lawsuit alleged that Diageo was racist in promoting Ciroc and DeLeón to solely urban markets, instead favoring white-backed brands like George Clooney’s Casamigos. However, now the company claims that Puff Daddy, through his Combs Wine and Spirits company (CWS) that partnered with them, engaged in some racial discrimination of his own despite his philanthropic image.

Furthermore, according to legal documents obtained by AllHipHop, Diageo stated that Diddy “discouraged Diageo from working with other Black business people and influencers. [He] demanded that Diageo redirect millions of dollars earmarked to support such causes to him personally.” Not only that, but they claim that the Bad Boy mogul went ballistic when the company donated $100 million to COVID-19 hospital workers.

“Mr. Combs demanded that Diageo pay him $100 million,” the company levied in their most recent filing. [He] threatened then to ‘reach out to every news outlet’ to ‘burn the house down’ and cause maximum damage to Diageo and the DeLeón brand by making public accusations of racism if Diageo refused to write the check.” Overall, the history between these two entities is long, contentious, and skewed in both’s eyes. Despite this pushback, Diddy’s lawyer John C. Hueston dismissed all accusations against him by the liquor company in a statement to AllHipHop on Friday (September 29).

“Diageo claims its executives were available to hear all of Mr. Combs concerns about race and diversity issues,” Hueston began. “The sad truth is that they never truly listened to what Mr. Combs was saying and brushed them off as threats and demands for money. If they had actually taken the time to comprehend his concerns, and lived up to the agreements they signed, we wouldn’t be in court today.” For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, come back to HNHH.

Elon Musk Supports Russell Brand Amid Sexual Assault Accusations

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The allegations of sexual assault against Russell Brand took the pop culture world by storm as of late, sparking a lot of debate. On one hand, many stand by the four women who anonymously spoke out against him via an exposé from The UK Times, who claim he mistreated them between 2006 and 2013. On the other, many others support the actor’s staunch denial of these claims, a group that seems to include Elon Musk. Moreover, the tech giant recently addressed the topic while conversing with Ben Shapiro. In his remarks, he invoked the principle of “innocent until proven guilty” and how that’s flipped in his eyes as people aim to “destroy” his life.

“There needs to be, obviously, a conviction here,” Elon Musk said of Russell Brand on Thursday (September 28). “It can’t be guilty until proven innocent. Because, obviously, we’re just sort of in the witch burning phase here. Just being declared a witch is enough to make you a witch and be burnt. Seems like an odd coincidence that it’s happening when Russell is really gaining traction, questioning a lot of the conventional wisdom. I think we’re running out of conspiracy theories that didn’t turn out to be true.”

Russell Brand In Los Angeles In 2020

Furthermore, one of Brand’s accusers alleges that he assaulted her when she was just 16, and another claimed he did so in Los Angeles in 2012. In addition, the younger of the two described her bond with Russell Brand as an “emotionally abusive and controlling relationship. According to her testimony, the 48-year-old “forced his penis down her throat” to the point of choking, and she had to punch him for him to stop. As a result of all this controversy, Brand postponed his U.K. comedy tour and lost his YouTube commerce perks.

Meanwhile, he continues to deny accusations and thank supporters for their outreach despite the backlash. In fact, Musk suggested that “the potential of false accusations” is by no means coincidental because he’s currently “rattling the cage” of the “powers that be.” Debate like this is all too common online, and will likely continue until authorities reveal the truth.

Yung Bleu’s Wife Accuses Him Of Cheating, Flew Another Woman Out

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On top of his brewing beef with Boosie Badazz, now Yung Bleu has to deal with some problems and accusations at home according to AllHipHop. Moreover, his wife Tiemeria recently accused him of flying another woman out and cheating on her, and claimed she kicked him out of her house. Specifically, these accusations come after the alleged woman in question posted some videos on TikTok addressing the situation, with the username Tenom. In them, she maintained that the 29-year-old reached out to her after seeing a video of her showing off her shockingly long tongue. However, Tenom said that she left Bleu in the dust after discovering that he was a “weirdo.”

Furthermore, she stated that Yung Bleu brought her on a private jet but never spoke to her during their travels. After landing, Tenom continued, they got into a car with five other guys, but still didn’t get any introductions or speaking time with anyone. Clearly, she went on, she was just a “groupie,” and she posted receipts, like an alleged video of the Alabama artist on the jet with her, as evidence in the videos.

Yung Bleu’s Cheating Accusations

Once this started to make social media rounds, Tiemeria took to her Instagram to respond to these allegations. Now, she seeks a divorce, and told how Yung Bleu allegedly ran out of the house when she confronted him but continued to text her denials of the accusations. Most importantly, though, Tiemeria said that she fully believes Tenom’s story. Sometimes in these cases, the couple holds out a little longer, but this time, it seems like things went sour from the jump.

“This b***h is not lying on you at all,” she expressed. “She got so many motherf***in’ receipts. I hope Boosie come get your motherf***in’ a**. He ain’t got no car keys he ain’t got no house keys, he can’t get in this motherf***er. So, he going to be outside tonight unless one of you b***hes come get him.” “I need the best divorce lawyer in Georgia,” Tiemeria said in another post. For more news and the latest updates on Yung Bleu, stick around on HNHH.

Police Mistake Lil Uzi Vert For A Puppy Thief

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, a puppy was stolen from Brookside Pups in Pennsylvania, and authorities took to social media to notify the public. The Wilkes-Barre Township Police Department shared a photo of the missing pup, alongside a photo of the suspect. The suspect pictured, however, was none other than Lil Uzi Vert, which managed to confuse a lot of fans. They quickly realized what they had done wrong, later removing the post after only around 30 minutes.

Apparently, the mix-up happened as a result of the pet store sending police the social media account of the actual suspect. The man in question had Uzi set as his profile photo. The police department later corrected their mistake, sharing a photo of the actual suspect, who also has face tattoos. Police also claim it’s the pet store’s fault for sending them the wrong photo.

It looks like Roc Nation was pretty upset by the whole thing, based on a statement they shared with TMZ about the mix-up. “The Wilkes-Barre Township Police Department should be embarrassed and ashamed for disparaging [Uzi’s] character. This grave error could’ve had significant repercussions on Uzi’s career and epitomizes how Black men can be wrongfully charged and arrested by police departments across the country.” They continued, “Uzi loves all animals and this serious mistake has deterred the apprehension of the kidnapper. Our collective hope is that the puppy is safely and promptly rescued.” The stolen puppy’s whereabouts, unfortunately, remain unknown.

As for Uzi, the rapper just recently turned in their latest mixtape, Barter 16. They’ve been teasing it since dropping Pink Tape over the summer, and fans can’t wait to hear it. It’s a tribute to Young Thug’s 2015 Barter 6 mixtape. Uzi’s been spotted dressed as the rapper, and even posed nude for the new LP’s cover art, to stay true to the original. There’s also been several leaks online lately, which could continue to push back the official release date. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Lil Uzi Vert.

Soulja Boy Blasts Accusations That He’s In The Illuminati

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Soulja Boy has one of the most simultaneously controversial and influential careers in hip-hop history. While many thought little of him when he burst onto the scene, his Internet presence and new approach to rap, which many others also pioneered, paved the way for generations to come. In fact, the Chicago-born and Atlanta-raised MC recently addressed initial theories of his rise on Instagram Live. Moreover, he spoke on how people thought he was part of the Illuminati, and why his dedication to God makes him a target for the media.

“When I first got in the rap game, a lot of people was like, ‘Soulja Boy an Illuminati,’” he expressed. “‘Soulja Boy joined the Illuminati, that’s how he got his money. That’s how he got famous, that’s how he got rich.’ But guess what? All I ever did was pray to God and stayed in the studio and stayed down until I made it, until I got on. They always gon’ try to discredit you for anything you do.

“So first they said I was an Illuminati,” Soulja Boy continued. “Then they said a whole bunch of bulls**t. All you gotta do is believe in God and stay down, bruh, nothing can f**k with you. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, n***a. But, when you really believe in God, you gon’ go through s**t. You gon’ see the media lying on you, you gon’ see n***as you don’t know beefing with you out of nowhere, hating on you. You go through more s**t when you f***in’ with God.

“If I was like a devil a** artist that worship the devil and s**t, I’d be straight,” the 33-year-old concluded. “It wouldn’t be no blogs lying on my name, it wouldn’t be no rappers beefing with me, you know what I’m saying? But since I f**k with God, I’ma go through more s**t than the average person. You gon’ see the media lying on my name. That’s the evil side right there, attacking me, ’cause they know I’m independent.” For more news and the latest updates on Soulja Boy, come back to HNHH.

Bandman Kevo Claims Jackboy Is “Definitely Getting A** Shots”

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview with Say Cheese!, Bandman Kevo made some claims about Jackboy. According to him, the Haiti-born artist is using testosterone shots to grow his backside. It’s unconfirmed at this point whether or not Jackboy has actually been using any kind of drugs. With that being said, Jackboy accused Bandman Kevo of having a BBL last month, so this could just be his clapback.

“I digged real deep,” Bandman Kevo explained in the interview. “Like real, real, real deep, and found out, no, the n***a don’t got a BBL but he’s definitely taking shots in his a**, bro. He’s definitely getting a** shots.” He continued, “Basically, what he’s doing, the n***a on the juice. You ever heard of the juice? We ain’t talking about Smoothie King. So, long story short, I don’t know who putting that shot in his a*s by his booty hole, bro, but he’s basically off the testosterone … That’s why you see that crazy transformation.”

Bandman Kevo Accuses Jackboy Of Taking Testosterone

Bandman Kevo went on to say that Jackboy should stop using testosterone, and to claim that he appears to be developing breasts in some of his videos. According to him, that can be a result of improperly using “the juice.” “You might as well lay it on the table,” he tells Jackboy, explaining that he has no right to accuse him of having a BBL when he himself is allegedly getting “a** shots.”

In July, Jackboy took to social media, perpetuating rumors that Bandman Kevo has a Brazilian Butt Lift. He went live, showing off his home gym and telling followers, “For y’all don’t have to be on none of these hard drugs.” He continued, “For y’all don’t have to go get no surgeries and be laying on your back. Laying on your back getting the BBL like BandMan.” He continued, showing viewers various pieces of equipment he had laying around. “Don’t go get no BBL,” he added.

One Of Lizzo’s Accusers Praised Her In A Video Made After Alleged Abuse

August 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The entire world of popular music has been focusing on Lizzo this week. The “About Damn Time” hitmaker was hit with a lawsuit from former dancers earlier this week. Since then the story has taken a number of turns. In the days following the allegations others came out about their own experiences with the singer with some even corroborating stories. In a recent performance on the Renaissance tour Beyonce skipped over Lizzo’s name during the Queens Remix of “Break My Soul.” Many fans interpreted that as a diss or at the very least as an acknowledgement of the backlash. Tina Knowles later came out to try and dispel those rumors.

Earlier today Lizzo took to Instagram to finally release a statement in response to the allegations. In the statement, she worked to discredit the allegations of her former collaborators. “I’m devastated after hearing these fabricated claims made against me. These are sensationalized stories from people I gave opportunities to. The allegations are as unbelievable as they sound.” She expanded by saying “Usually, I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are too outrageous not to be addressed. I’m hurt but I will not let the good work I’ve done in the world be overshadowed by this.” After the release of the statement the dancers involved in the suit hit back, calling her words “dismissive” and “quite telling about her own character.”

Now according to The Neighborhood Talk, there is another twist in the story. Lizzo’s legal team reportedly provided TMZ with a video of one of the accusers. In the clip provided she’s seen auditioning for the show Watch Out For The Big Girls. In the video she can be seen praising the singer, claiming she looks up to her and wants to follow in her footsteps. A representative from Lizzo’s legal team also provided a statement about the video. “These do not sound like the words of someone who was harassed or discriminated against by someone they described as ‘THE QUEEN’.” The video was reportedly recorded after the events explained in the lawsuit happened.

Cardi B Responds To Offset’s Deleted Cheating Accusation: “Don’t Play With Me”

June 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B has responded to Offset’s since-deleted post accusing his wife of cheating on him. She addressed the allegation in a Twitter Spaces post on Monday, telling Offset not to “play with me.”

Cardi began by singing Keyshia Cole’s “I Should’ve Cheated.” From there, said: “Don’t pay attention to the country man, y’all. I’m f*ckin Cardi B. If I was giving this pussy to anybody, it would be out. I’m just not anybody. I can’t f*ckin no regular degular shmegular because they gon tell the world.

Users on Instagram had plenty of jokes in response to the post when DJ Akademiks shared it on the platform. “This dude been cheating the whole relationship who cares,” one user commented, referencing the rumors that Offset has cheated on Cardi in the past. Another doubted Cardi’s explanation: “It’s the way she tries to prove she can’t be guilty that shows she’s guilty. People really do be showing their whole card if ya listen.”

The post comes after Offset and Quavo performed together at the BET Awards on Sunday night in honor of the late Migos rapper, Takeoff. Cardi also expressed her joy to see them come together for the event on social media. “I can’t take it right now… proud of my boys,” she tweeted after the show.

Nicki Minaj Allegedly Bit Saweetie’s Idea For “Barbie World” Track

June 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Apparently the upcoming Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice collab “Barbie World,” for the upcoming Barbie movie, has a certain inspiration that they ripped off. However, that accusation is pretty contentious at the end of the day when you read into it. Still, writer and former rapper Problem, real name Jason Martin, claimed that the New York rapper took Saweetie’s idea to sample Aqua’s 1997 hit, “Barbie Girl.” Not only that, but Martin also alleged that they sent a track called “Icy World” with a slightly different version of the beat to the Barbie team to be used in the movie. Furthermore, he took to both Twitter and Instagram Live to voice his frustration with this alleged biting.

“As a writer on this, I can confirm this song and idea was sent to her last year to submit for the Barbie movie,” Martin wrote on Twitter. “It’s sad to see that the original artist has been pushed off a song that was her idea and was meant for both of them. I have no side in this, but I will be compensated.” While it seems he’s seeking writing credit and nothing more, it’s odd to say he’s not taking a “side.”

If or when I need to detail the whole way it went down in regards to this Barbie shit, you will understand why all writers need to be compensated with day rates and contracts protecting their intellectual properties the day of.
Hopefully this gets sorted out quietly. But please…

“If or when I need to detail the whole way it went down in regards to this Barbie shit, you will understand why all writers need to be compensated with day rates and contracts protecting their intellectual properties the day of,” Jason Martin continued. “Hopefully this gets sorted out quietly. But please no I don’t scare easy.” Regardless, the artist formerly known as Problem also hit up fans live on Instagram to share his thoughts. In it, he reiterated that he doesn’t want to start beef, just get paid for writing the song concept.

Jason Martin Continues His Side Of The Story On Instagram Live

Meanwhile, this accusation is quite odd considering that Ice Spice and Saweetie linked up in the past. Also, is this really the first two instances of people wanting to sample the Barbie song? Things are quite unclear right now with all artists involved not responding as of writing this article. However, it’s hard to predict how it will pan out.
