Joe Budden Seemingly Reacts To Katt Williams & Kevin Hart Beef

January 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kevin Hart’s latest beef subject is Katt Williams, a new opponent who popped up following his lawsuit against Tasha K. Moreover, you’ve probably heard of Williams’ discussion-sparking interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, on which he goes at a whole host of pop culture figures. One of those is Hart, who quickly had some words to say about the comedian’s attacks against him and his career. However, it seems like a lot of fans were a little disappointed with his clap-back, or that it wasn’t a very worthwhile effort. While Joe Budden by no means named this directly, many fans still interpreted that this is what he tweeted about on Saturday (January 6).

“Could’ve just not replied yaknow lol,” Joe Budden wrote on the social media platform of Kevin Hart’s response. “Gotta get that anger up outcha champ….It’s honestly sad,” he had tweeted. “In the meantime…. Please enjoy MY MOVIE TRAILER to my next film ‘LIFT’ which will be dropping on @netflix in 8 days!!!!! There is a moment in the trailer where @gugumbatharaw says “They Really Love You” ….I now know she’s talking about “Katt” [crying-laughing emojis]. Mark yo calendars world!!!! This one is SPECIAL!!!!”

Meanwhile, Kevin Hart went at Katt WIlliams again on his NBA Unplugged show. “Do you entertain the circus or do you watch it?” he inquired to Kendrick Perkins. The 44-year-old also joked that Williams bought the New York Knicks and “returned them with a receipt,” plus some jabs at his comments about being an avid book reader as a child. Overall, it seemed like he backtracked his own remarks about this anger management being sad, and if he was just trying to joke around and be light about the topic, it didn’t really resonate with the crowd.

Still, we’re sure that, like many other celebrities, the Night School actor will probably have some more deep thoughts to say about all this. Maybe it will be a more serious and direct response, or he’ll stay on the comedy train to match Williams’ energy. With a topic as wide-yielding and beef-provoking as this, we doubt it’ll slow down soon. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kevin Hart, Joe Budden, and Katt Williams.

Diddy Says He Needs More Time To Respond To Jane Doe’s Gang Rape Lawsuit

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy and his legal team have reportedly requested an additional three weeks to reply to a Jane Doe’s gang rape lawsuit. He says confidential circumstances beyond his control have made him unable to formulate an adequate response. His lawyer, Jonathan Davis, explained the request in a court filing obtained by AllHipHop.

“Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Combs Defendants, which circumstances are of a confidential nature, we respectfully request that the Court modify the Motion Schedule to extend Defendants’ time to file their opposition to the Motion from December 27, 2023 to January 17, 2024, and extend Plaintiff’s time to file a reply, if any, from January 8, 2024 to January 31, 2024,” Davis wrote.

The case stems from an alleged incident in 2003 at Diddy’s recording studio. Jane Doe says she met former Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre in Michigan when she was 17. Soon after, he forced her to perform oral sex on him while he did drugs. Pierre then flew her out to New York where she was gang-raped at the studio. Both Diddy and Pierre have challenged the victim’s right to remain anonymous. Her lawyer, Douglas H. Wigdor, has used her age at the time of the attack as well as Diddy and Pierre’s celebrity as reasons his client’s identity must remain private.

The various allegations against Diddy began with Cassie suing him, last month. The two reached a settlement within 24 hours, but several more alleged victims came forward afterward. Diddy finally broke his silence on the matter in a statement on social media, on December 6. “Enough is enough,” he wrote. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by Individuals looking for a quick payday.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy’s Lawyer Denies Wrongdoing Despite Cassie Lawsuit Settlement

November 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s lawyer, Ben Brafman, says that his client’s recent settlement with Cassie in her rape and abuse lawsuit is “in no way an admission of wrongdoing.” He explained the decision to settle in a statement provided to Page Six on Saturday.

Brafman wrote: “Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing. Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.”

Both Diddy and Cassie addressed the lawsuit in statements as well. Cassie confirmed that the decision was “amicable.” “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support,” she said. Diddy added: “We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.”

Cassie filed the lawsuit against Diddy just one day before the settlement. She accused the Bad Boy mogul of several wrongdoings including rape, physical abuse, introducing her to alcohol and drugs, and more. In response to her attempts to escape the relationship, Diddy would allegedly threaten her career in the entertainment industry. “Over the years that Mr. Combs abused Ms. Ventura physically and sexually, she again and again tried to escape his tight hold over her life,” the lawsuit stated. “Every time she hid, Mr. Combs’s vast network of corporations and affiliated entities found her, and those who worked for Mr. Combs’s companies implored her to return to him. Many went as far as to explicitly state that her failure to return to Mr. Combs would hinder her success in the entertainment industry.” Be on the lookout for further updates on the case on HotNewHipHop.
