September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Diddy was hit with yet another lawsuit, this time from former Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard. In the suit, obtained by TMZ, she accuses the Bad Boy Records founder of sexual and emotional abuse. She additionally accuses Diddy of belittling her and various female “Making The Band” contestants. Richard even alleges that she witnessed Diddy abuse his ex-girlfriend Cassie on multiple occasions. On one occasion, she alleges that he threw Cassie into a wall, choked her, and dragged her up a flight of stairs.

Richard says she and others had a conversation with Cassie, during which they encouraged her to leave Diddy. Allegedly, he later found out about the conversation and quickly threatened to end their careers. She also accuses Diddy of touching her inappropriately, inviting her to his home while only wearing underwear, and more.

Dawn Richard Accuses Diddy Of Abuse

Diddy’s Attorney Responds To Dawn Richard’s Abuse Lawsuit: “Shocked And Disappointed” — attends the 2010 BET Awards nominees, host and performers announcement at 230 Fifth Avenue on May 18, 2010 in New York City.

Today, Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolff issued a response to the lawsuit, denying the allegations. “Mr. Combs is shocked and disappointed by this lawsuit. In an attempt to rewrite history, Dawn Richard has now manufactured a series of false claims all in the hopes of trying to get a pay day — conveniently timed to coincide with her album release and press tour,” the statement begins per TMZ.

“If Ms. Richard had such a negative experience with Making the Band and Danity Kane, she would not have chosen to continue working directly with Mr. Combs for Dirty Money, nor would she have returned for the Making the Band reboot in 2020 or agreed to be featured on ‘The Love Album’ last year,” it also reads. “It’s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try and get money from him, but Mr. Combs is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court.” What do you think of Dawn Richard suing Diddy?

R Kelly Shouldn’t Expect Privacy, Ex-Prison Employee Accused Of Leaking Info Argues

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last year, R Kelly hit Tasha K and various employees at a Chicago prison with a civil lawsuit, accusing them of working together to leak his personal information while he was behind bars. Allegedly, the correctional officers would send the information from internal devices to Tasha K, who would then publish it on her blog. He accused them of intentionally damaging his reputation and causing him emotional distress.

Tasha K denied these allegations immediately, insisting that she was not part of any scheme to leak his private information. Now, a former prison guard named in the lawsuit has responded. She’s also denying any wrongdoing, according to court documents obtained by In Touch.

Per the court docs, she says that she never obtained R Kelly’s confidential records to sell to Tasha K, but adds that he was “not in a place where” he should have expected privacy. She also argued that her actions were not “outrageous or intentional,” the outlet reports, and that she did not access work computers without or above her authorization. She also denies claims that R Kelly suffered emotional distress as a result of her actions. Her lawyer demands that all of the performer’s complaints against their client be dismissed, meaning that he’d be awarded nothing.

The employee in question retired shortly after the investigation concluded in 2019. Her remarks arrived shortly after it was revealed that the lawsuit was facing dismissal. Reportedly, the U.S. government argued earlier this month that they weren’t responsible for one prison employee’s actions. What do you think of the officer accused of leaking R Kelly’s personal information claiming he shouldn’t expect privacy in prison? Do you with this statement or not? What about the lawsuit facing dismissal? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

London On Da Track’s BM Drags Him For Alleged Absence From Daughter’s Life

August 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that London On Da Track and his ex, Eboni Ivori, haven’t always gotten along. The two of them share a child together named Paris, whose life he’s not very involved in, or so Eboni alleges. She’s called the artist out for this, among other things, on multiple occasions. He even sent her a cease-and-desist in 2022 over her accusations against Shenseea‘s seven-year-old son.

Most recently, Eboni took to her Instagram to share a series of photos that feature sad-looking children, none of which are hers. In her captions, she alleged that London hadn’t seen their daughter since December. “My lil girl waiting on her dad since last Christmas,” she wrote alongside a photo of a sad child. “Another pic of my lil girl waiting for her dad on her birthday last year,” she captioned another.

She went on, also alleging that Paris didn’t get to see her dad on Father’s Day. He’s yet to publicly address her accusations.

Summer Walker jumped into The Shade Room‘s comments section to empathize with Eboni today, writing “Same [eyeroll emoji].” In the past, she’s also put him on blast for his alleged absence from their daughter’s life. In 2022, for example, she vented about the situation on her Instagram Story, though she deleted it shortly after.

“I literally have the worst bd on the face of the planet lol I can’t wait till I can just get some peace,” Walker wrote. “It’s okay tho I have the most perfect bundle of joy in the world. Wouldn’t change anything about my past if I could.” What do you think of Eboni Ivori calling out London On Da Track?

Jason Lee Recalls Working With Kanye West’s Sexual Harassment Accuser

August 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jason Lee recently reflected on his time working with Kanye West and gave his thoughts on the rapper’s former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who is suing him for alleged sexual harassment. Speaking with VladTV, Lee began by describing her as a “great girl” and praised her as being one of the best assistants he’s ever met.

“She’s really solid and she was super loyal to Ye. The thing that I hate about watching her go through what she’s going through is she’s super non-problematic,” he said. From there, he explained how all aspects of West’s business ran through her.

“I can say that I never witnessed that,” Lee said of the harassment claims. “Every time I witnessed them together, it was professional, but she was– think about this, his entire world was managed by this one person and all the craziness going on. So, if Meta was taking down his Instagram, I was dealing with her and Instagram to get the Instagram back. If the divorce attorneys wanted to track him down to talk about court with Kim, she had to facilitate all that. Accounting, photoshoots, she literally was the gatekeeper. So, I know she worked closely with him. I know that Bianca, his girl, lived in her apartment building and they used to be cool I believe. He would then go to her house while she was at her house. It became this really crazy relationship. But, I don’t know. I didn’t see Ye sexually harass her.”

Jason Lee Speaks On Working With Kanye West

Pisciotta filed her lawsuit against West back in June, accusing him of breach of contract, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and fostering a hostile work environment. Check out Lee’s full comments on working with West below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jason Lee and Kanye West on HotNewHipHop.

DJ Akademiks Responds After Alleged Court Documents From His Rape Case Surface Online

August 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks is coming under fire on social media after users posted screenshots of an alleged court filing from Fauziya “Ziya” Abashe’s sexual assault lawsuit against him. Included in the apparent filing are graphic photos of her alleged injuries from July 2022, when she claims two unnamed individuals drugged and assaulted her inside the streamer’s home. She is suing all three of them for sexual assault, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and defamation.

The alleged documents state: “Ms. Abashe was unconscious or incoherent because it is unconscionable to believe that any person who is a willing participant in these acts can endure the pain of being dragged back and forth on the concrete, incurring scrapes and scratches on their back, buttocks, and elbows, especially while there is an empty lawn chair in arms reach, as well as several empty rooms in the home.”

Ziya Abashe’s Court Filing Surfaces Online

Abashe claims John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 initially drugged her near a pool deck and began sexually assaulting her as she lost consciousness. Eventually, she woke up in Akademiks’ bed as he was allegedly “brutally raping her.” The alleged documents continue: “Mr. Allen and his two accomplices’ sexual assault severely injured Ms. Abashe, causing significant physical and psychological pain and suffering, loss of dignity, and invasion of her privacy. Mr. Allen’s public statements added to the harm Ms. Abashe was already silently suffering with.” Abashe’s lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, said she only came forward when she did because Akademiks allegedly lied about the incident publically. “Litigation is always the last resort. After several unsuccessful attempts to resolve this case privately, Ms Abashe was left with no choice but to file. Mr. Allen’s hubris will be his downfall,” he said.

DJ Akademiks Denies Latest Allegations

Akademiks already vehemently denied the allegations stemming from Abashe’s lawsuit. He claims he already gave over all of the pictures present in the documents to police and has “nothing to hide.” During a livestream back in May, he immediately denied the accusations when the story went public. “Whatever this is will be handled in court,” he said at the time. “Just know, according to the law and according to the police and according to all sanctioning governing authorities, Akademiks is an innocent man who has not ever been charged with anything of the sort that has to do with any deviancy or anything like that, has never been charged, will never be charged. That’s a fact.” Be on the lookout for further updates on DJ Akademiks on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy’s Legal Team Begins Fighting Back Against “Baseless” Lawsuits

August 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy is reportedly mounting a serious rebuttal to a rape and battery lawsuit with allegations dating back to the 90s. A woman named April Lampros filed the lawsuit in New York while also naming Bad Boy Records, Arista Records, and Sony Music Entertainment as defendants. Diddy’s lawyer, Erica Wolff, has responded to the claims, as caught by AllHipHop.

“April Lampros filed this baseless lawsuit more than twenty years after the end of her romantic relationship with [Diddy] represented by an attorney who regularly sues celebrities and was recently chastised by a federal judge for ‘improperly fil[ing] cases to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and pressure defendants to settle quickly,’” Wolff said.

Diddy Attends Cassie’s 21st Birthday Party

Lampros says she began a relationship with Diddy after he promised to help her in the music and fashion industries but it quickly turned abusive. She referenced several alleged instances of sexual assault spanning from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s. Regardless, Diddy’s legal team maintains his innocence. “Lampros does not allege how or where [Diddy] purportedly touched her, nor does she claim she sustained any physical injuries,” Wolff argued. Additionally, she says Bad Boy Records cannot be held liable as none of the incidents occurred on business property. Wolff is hoping to get the case dismissed on these grounds altogether.

Lampros is one of many alleged victims suing Diddy over the last year. Despite the drama, he’s been adamant about his innocence in all of the cases. He previously settled a lawsuit from Cassie in November of 2023. The terms were not disclosed although CNN later published footage of Diddy hitting Cassie at a hotel in 2016. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Russell Simmons Issues A Warning To People Who Keep Attacking His Friends

August 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Russell Simmons wants people on social media to stop criticizing his friends for supporting him after several celebrities have come under fire for visiting him in Bali. Addressing his followers, the music industry veteran argued that he’s more innocent than several former presidents of the United States. He’s faced allegations of rape and sexual misconduct in recent years.

“I have never spoken to a policeman about anything,” he began. “I have never spoken to a judge, civil or criminal, about anything. From what I can tell, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, President Trump, all have more credible claims against them than I do.” From there, he brought up having taken nine lie detector tests and asked whether any of the men he just mentioned had done the same. “Knock it off. I love you, I just don’t want my friends attacked. I wish you all the best, but just leave my friends alone. Don’t attack them for visiting me,” he concluded.

Russell Simmons Attends MusiCares Persons Of The Year

His comments come after Taraji P Henson faced backlash for paying him a visit, earlier this month. He had shared a picture of the two of them on Instagram while reflecting on their friendship in the caption. “People when u have friends like this, you are truly blessed!!!!” Simmons wrote. “Everyone comes to Gdas for healing, some people exude healing energy You are one of those You make everyone happy just with your presence love you baby girl you are back home safe now[prayer hands] and already you are missed [prayer hands] until we meet again darling only love [heart] ps you mean so much to so many people keep inspiring us all !!!” The comments flooded with criticism of Henson for remaining close to him.
