Kendrick Lamar Criticized For Inviting Dr. Dre To “The Pop Out” Despite Abuse Allegations

by

Last night, Kendrick Lamar took over the Forum in LA for his eagerly anticipated “Pop Out” show. He graced the stage alongside several of his celebrity friends, including Dr. Dre. The artist even kicked off “Not Like Us,” which fans were waiting to hear all night. Of course, this is the track widely believed to have crowned Kendrick the winner of his viral lyrical battle with Drake. On it, he famously accuses the Toronto hitmaker of being a “certified pedophile,” and more.

As reactions to the explosive performance continue to roll in, many are calling Dr. Dre’s appearance into question. While he’s certainly one of the most successful artists to come out of Compton, he also has a long history of alleged violence against women. Dee Barnes, for example, accuses him of having physically assaulted her at a release party in the early 90s over a Pump It Up segment. His former partner Michel’le also alleges that she was abused throughout their relationship.

Years later, he issued an apology. “I apologize to the women I’ve hurt,” he told the New York Times in 2015. “I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.” Social media users are now criticizing Kendrick for his decision to invite Dr. Dre onstage, particularly since he calls Drake an alleged abuser on “Not Like Us.” Many think this was counterproductive, and are sounding off online.

“Why did Kendrick even bother to call Drake out for being a pedophile who surrounds himself with abusers on ‘Not Like Us’ if he was just going to call Dr. Dre—King of the Abusers—to introduce it?” one Twitter user wonders. “DR DRE GOT A WEIRD CASE, WHY IS HE AROUND?”” another asks.

Diddy Invited Male Sex Workers To His Room For “Freak Offs” With Cassie, Ex-Bodyguard Alleges

by

Since Cassie filed her bombshell lawsuit against Diddy in November of last year, the Bad Boy Records founder has been hit with countless shocking allegations. In her suit, Cassie accused him of sexual assault, abuse, and much more. She even alleged that the mogul would make her engage in sexual acts with male escorts in what were dubbed “freak-offs.” Allegedly, he would film the drug-fueled encounters, and eventually had Cassie find and hire the escorts herself.

During a recent interview with VladTV, Diddy’s former bodyguard Roger Bonds shared his take on these claims. He alleges that while he wasn’t involved in these events “on any level,” he did know of a camera bag that Diddy’s assistants were ordered to keep on them at all times. According to Bonds, this held the camera used to film the alleged freak-offs.

Bonds also recalls one instance when he had the day off and felt as though Diddy was rushing him to leave the hotel he was staying at. He claims this made him feel even more suspicious than he would have been otherwise. This was only compounded when he took the elevator down and spotted who appeared to be a male escort heading up. “I stayed on the elevator and the elevator stopped on Puff’s floor,” he alleged. “He just walked straight to Puff’s door.”

He then remembered the man allegedly knocking on the door of Diddy’s room and being let in. Bonds says this wasn’t of concern to him immediately, as he had just assumed that he and Cassie were “freaks.” Bonds said he would see other men allegedly spend time with Diddy and Cassie on various occasions. He can’t confirm what was happening behind closed doors but put two and two together once he read Cassie’s lawsuit. What do you think of Roger Bonds’ latest Diddy allegations?

Trick Daddy Allegedly Blocked A Woman From “Love & Hip-Hop” After She Spurned His Sexual Advances

by

Trick Daddy allegedly prevented a woman from appearing on Love & Hip-Hop after she refused his sexual advances, according to a user on Instagram by the name of Ravinia Ricki. The drama began when the veteran rapper shared screenshots from a text conversation of an argument in which he called an unidentified person a “sh*t eater.” Afterward, Ricki shared a screenshot of an alleged text conversation between the two of them in which he remarks, “I just told them no more recording with you,” after she appears to shoot him down.

“My genuine heart gets me F*ked over every time I’m so over it,” Ricki wrote in the caption. “If you ever wonder why I’m not on love n hip hop Miami it’s because I refuse to sleep with trick daddy disrespect self .

Diddy Allegedly Abused Cassie For Having An Affair With Kid Cudi

by

Roger Bonds, a former security guard for Diddy, claims the Bad Boy mogul once beat up Cassie after learning of an alleged affair she had with Kid Cudi in 2011. Speaking with VladTV for a recent interview, Bonds explained that he was only doing security part-time by that point; however, he heard that she was romantically involved with Cudi. Bonds then says that Diddy found out about this affair by going through Cassie’s phone.

“I don’t know exactly what he said. I know that he went over to his house and Kid Cudi wasn’t there,” he explained. “At that particular time, after that happened, Cassie wouldn’t come around and then, all of the sudden, Cassie came around and Diddy was upset. He was upset with a young lady called Capricorn. So, Capricorn was his personal assistant.” From there, he describes Capricorn as Diddy’s “ride or die” and recalls him rarely getting upset with her. “She had to know about Kid Cudi because she never went to the studio by herself. She always went with Cassie,” he said. “He put hands on Capricorn because of that situation. Capricorn ended up leaving and suing him for it. He paid Capricorn $450,000 to keep her mouth shut.”

Charleston White Says Diddy Should’ve Made Eric Adams Repo His Key To New York City

by

Charleston White has come to Diddy’s defense after New York City Mayor Eric Adams made the disgraced Bad Boy mogul return his Key to the City. Speaking about the situation on social media, White argued that Diddy should’ve made them come take it from him in person. “If I was Diddy, I wouldn’t have gave back the key to the city,” White said in the video, as caught by No Jumper. “I would’ve made them repo it.”

Adams originally presented Diddy with the honor during a ceremony in September of last year. After CNN published security camera footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016, Adams asked for the Key to the City back. “I strongly condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with all survivors of domestic and gender-based violence,” Adams wrote in an email to Diddy’s communications representative. “Our city has worked tirelessly to make sure survivors are heard and seen by our administration.”

It’s not the first time White has spoken out in defense of Diddy. “If I’m spending all that money on you, don’t tell me what I do to you,” he remarked in another social media post back in May. He further argued at the time: “She wanted some money. Obviously, she didn’t want Puffy to go jail. Why are y’all wishin’ jail on Puffy? Not one time did that girl call the police on P. Diddy, Sean Combs, Brother Love. Not one time. I know a lot of relationships, all they do is fight and f**k, f**k and fight. Sometimes I know a n***a get in a relationship so long n***as start a good fight so we can do some good f**kin’ and after the n***a get tired of good f**kin’ the other n***a go back to doing some good fightin’.”

Freeway Rick Ross Exposes Rick Ross For Disappearing When He’s Around

by

Rick Ross’ history as a correctional officer is certainly no secret. Unsurprisingly, it’s been a go-to jab for those he’s previously feuded with, including 50 Cent, Drake, The Game, and more. Many have found it odd that he collaborates with other artists with crime-filled pasts despite this, though he tends to brush it off when asked about it. According to him, he only did it for around four months before getting let go for being late for work too often.

Working for authorities isn’t the only skeleton in Ross’ closet either, or so it seems. Recently, Joe Rogan sat down with former drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross, who’s known for his LA-based crack-cocaine empire. During the interview, he shared his take on having his name used by the rapper, who was born William Leonard Roberts II. He claims that on top of never being asked for permission, Ross has never even admitted to taking the name from someone else.

When asked whether or not anyone’s ever confronted Ross about this, Freeway said that he hasn’t seen it firsthand. Moreover, he claims that Ross avoids him anytime he comes around. “Anytime I’m around he disappears,” he explained. Freeway went on to argue that since Rick Ross has money, people are willing to overlook his allegedly stolen name. “It’s cr*zy,” he added. “How would you take my name and not have the decency to ask me? First of all, you should have asked, but then never pay homage? He won’t even admit that he stole the name. He tells people that he invented the name… Like, how the f*ck do you invent this name?”

“I think not only on kids’ sets. I think if anyone wants to do this, or music or anything at the level of exposure that it means to be on TV or to do music with a major label…there should be in the contract something about therapy is mandatory,” Grande added. “There’s not a word for how devastating that is to hear about and so I think the environment just needs to be made a lot safer all around.” She also recalled being convinced it was “cool” that Victorious “pushed the envelope” with its now-questionable humor and “innuendos.” Check out her full comments on the situation below.

Jeezy & Jeannie Mai Finalize Divorce Amid Domestic Violence Allegations

by

Jeezy and Jeannie Mai’s divorce has gotten rocky, to say the least, in the months following the news of their split. Aside from battling over custody of their young daughter, Mai accused her former partner of domestic violence in court documents obtained by The Shade Room in April. She alleged that he once punched her in the face, pushed her down a flight of stairs, and more. Mai additionally accused him of leaving their daughter near a gun and putting her in serious danger. Jeezy wasted no time denying these allegations, calling them “not only false, but also deeply disturbing” in a statement.

Now, according to court docs obtained by TMZ, the exes have officially finalized the divorce. Moreover, they’ve filed to keep details of their settlement private. The former lovers got an order to keep their legal documents under seal moving forward. This means that any information pertaining to their custody arrangement, spousal support agreement, property splits, and more will stay under wraps.

This is unsurprising, especially considering that Jeezy’s wanted to keep details of the divorce on the low for a while now. Back in March, he asked a judge to seal “sensitive personal and financial information” pertaining to their split, putting an emphasis on the privacy of their one-year-old daughter. At the time, he admitted that the process was becoming “increasingly contentious,” and thought it’d be in the child’s best interest to keep details of it out of public view.
