Aubrey O’Day Says She Feels “Validated” After Diddy’s Federal Indictment

by

Aubrey O’Day says she’s feeling “validated” after authorities arrested Diddy on Monday night on charges of alleged racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. She made the comments on X (formerly Twitter) after the news broke. Diddy intends to plead not guilty, according to his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, who told reporters outside of the courtroom: “He’s not guilty. He’s innocent of these charges.”

Shortly after the arrest, O’Day wrote: “The purpose of Justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter. Women never get this. I feel validated. Today is a win for women all over the world, not just me. Things are finally changing.” When reporter Yashar Ali noted that fans have “bullied, terrorized, and threatened” O’Day over the years for vocalizing her claims about Diddy, she responded: “He did worse than that to me. And thank you Yashir for this post. Appreciate you being in my corner and believing me. Xo.”

O’Day had worked with Diddy on numerous occasions over the years and previously performed with Danity Kane from 2006-2008, before being fired from the band. After CNN published 2016 footage of the Bad Boy mogul hitting Cassie, earlier this year, O’Day wrote on social media: “Diddy did not apologize to Cassie. He apologized to the world for seeing what he did.”

Diddy Taken Into Custody By Homeland Security In New York

by

It appears Diddy’s alleged crimes have caught up with him. The Bad Boy mogul was arrested and taken into custody on September 16. TMZ reports that Homeland Security entered a Midtown Hotel on Monday night and cuffed Diddy before taking him to an FBI field office in Manhattan. While the outlet notes that Homeland Security may have searched Diddy’s hotel room following his arrest, these claims remain unsubstantiated.

Diddy has been accused of multiple crimes over the last year, but his arrest was seemingly tied to the investigation that led to his Miami home being raided back in April. Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told TMZ that the arrest was an example of “unjust prosecution” on the part of Homeland Security. “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist,” he wrote. “Who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community.”

Agnifilo went on note that his client has made mistakes in the past, but that he is by no means the criminal mastermind that he’s been branded in recent months. “He is an imperfect person but is not criminal,” the attorney opined. He also noted that Diddy has been cooperative with law enforcement in the wake of the Miami house raid. “To his credit,” Agnifilo explained. “Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.”

The attorney concluded his statement with appealing to the public writ large. He tried to remind the public that people are innocent until proven guilty. To this point, Diddy has not been found guilty of any crimes. “Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts,” he asserted. “These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide. And he looks forward to clearing his name in court.” There will be more information about Diddy’s arrest to come.

Peewee Longway Arrested In Massive $280 Million Drug Bust

by

Peewee Longway was among a total of 101 people that police in Columbus, Georgia on Friday in a major drug bust. In the raid, authorities seized a total of 7.1 kilograms of fentanyl, 57.21 kilograms of cocaine, 55,248 pounds of marijuana, and 1.3 kilograms of heroin. Altogether, the drugs are reportedly valued at over $200 million. Multiple federal, local, and state agencies worked together in the bust, with the FBI bringing in 250 agents and analysts to assist.

Discussing “Operation Sweet Silence,” Sheriff Greg Countryman used the opportunity to demand an end to gang activity in Columbus. “If you’re involved in criminal activity, I want to send this message to you. Just because your name was not caught in the arrest yesterday, I don’t want you to relapse,” Countryman said, as caught by Complex. “I don’t want you to breathe a breath of fresh air, a sigh of relief, because our work is not done. Just because you were not arrested does not mean that we’re not looking at you. So don’t get too comfortable because our work is not finished.”

Longway’s exact role in the allegations remains unclear. On social media, fans have been sharing supportive messages. “We all know PeeWee Longway don’t talk to the Feds,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote. Another posted: “That Migos, Rich Homie Quan, Peewee Longway, Hoodrich Pablo Juan, & Young Thug era really died in front of our eyes in a couple years… 14 year old me sad rn.” Others called for his freedom.

Longway isn’t the only Atlanta rapper facing legal trouble at the moment. Young Thug has been on trial in the YSL RICO case for months at this point. Authorities originally accused him of gang-related charges back in 2022. Be on the lookout for further updates on Peewee Longway on HotNewHipHop.

Tyrese Says Judge Involved With Arrest Over Child Support Debacle “Hates My Guts”

by

On Monday, September 9, actor and singer Tyrese was arrested for being “in willful contempt for failure to make child support payments”. The judge, as well as his ex-wife, Samantha Lee, were commanding exactly $10,690 and “illegally” so in his eyes. The money is supposed to being going to their five-year-old daughter Soraya. Tyrese has repeated time and time again that he wants to be a father to his kids; however, he feels this entire battle in court has been one-sided. According to Bossip, he feels that a lot of this falls on the judge that was overseeing this case.

Tyrese went after Kevin M Farmer in his Instagram post two days ago just moments before his Atlanta court appearance Monday morning. Now, he’s continuing to call out Mr. Farmer after the arrest on X. “Getting arrested wasn’t fun as a matter of fact it was very traumatic…. One would ask why does this judge Kevin M Farmer HATE me so much? Well attached is his nightmare details of the APPEAL!”. In the tweet below there’s a link to the pdf file of the appellants 20-page reply brief if you care to check it out.

Tyrese Gets Emotional While Ranting About Judge

Tyrese may have just been accusing the judge of something that may or may not be true, but Mr. Farmer may have been making his case for him. In addition to the arrest, Tyrese was ordered to pay a healthy figure to be released from jail. $73,500 was ordered to be paid to the Fulton County officials. However, his attorney, Tanya Mitchell Graham, filed an appeal of Mr. Farmer’s ruling. He is currently not in custody as of Monday.

What are your thoughts on Tyrese claiming that the judge involved with the child support battle was against him? Do you think all of this was handled poorly from a legal standpoint? Overall, what’s your current opinion on the actor during all of this drama? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

YBC Dul Murder: 16-Year-Old Charged With Fatal Shooting

by

Late last month, West Philadelphia rapper YBC Dul was fatally shot in a drive-by. Now, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, an arrest has been made. The outlet reports that 16-year-old Aiden Waters was taken into custody and hit with several charges. These include murder, arson, causing catastrophe, conspiracy, and gun crimes. Authorities say they found Waters’ getaway car the night YBC Dul was shot. It had been burned, but reportedly, detectives were still able to recover evidence inside.

Aside from fatally shooting YBC Dul, Waters is accused of shooting into a car full of teenagers last month, striking two and killing one. For this, he’s been charged with five counts of attempted murder. Police also believe he was responsible for another shooting that took place hours before YBC Dul was murdered. A 43-year-old man and a 14-year-old were shot in the abdomen and leg, respectively, and both survived.

Baby was arrested in Las Vegas on Monday for allegedly carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. Shortly afterward, his legal team released a statement explaining he does have a permit in Georgia and that they’d be looking into the matter. “Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit,” Baby’s attorney, Drew Findling, told Billboard in a statement. “On his behalf we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

James Harden Speaks On Lil Baby

Baby has faced legal trouble in previous years as well. In 2014, he found himself behind bars after police arrested him for possession of marijuana with intent to sell. Speaking with Rolling Stone in 2017, he explained how he got into selling drugs. “Needed the money, more than anything,” he said at the time. “I knew all the drug dealers around my neighborhood. When I was like 10, 11, I was hanging out with a dude who was like 17. He was getting money to buy a car, having his own little spot. So he was a lot of my motivation, too.” Be on the lookout for further updates on James Harden and Lil Baby on HotNewHipHop.

Camron Recalls Bailing Out His Friends For A Staggering Load Of Cash

by

Cam’ron is a vivid and gifted storyteller, whether it’s in his music or when talking about what part of the United States produces the best lyricists. However, he can also look back at old tales and rejuvenate him with his revealing commentary, as he recently did for his Instagram followers on Wednesday (August 28). Moreover, the Dipset member explained what happened at a traffic stop in New England on a cold night in 2003 while the group toured their debut album, Diplomatic Immunity. Authorities arrested Orlando Young and Piri Pantoja for possessing a firearm without a license and three counts of assault with intent to murder.

“One night, we was just driving down I-91, I believe,” Cam’ron began his story. “The cops pulled the tour bus over like [it was] the end of Set It Off when Cleo was about to run through the barricade with all the cops. They had like 92 cop cars out there! They pull us off the tour bus talking about, ‘Yo, somebody’s car windows got shot out.’ [I said,] ‘I don’t know how that happened, officer’ […] Now, it’s three degrees outside. I’m freezing. I’m looking at n***as like, ‘Y’all know what’s going on? ‘Cause I don’t.’” He said that Juelz Santana probably hid under the bus’ muffler (“That boy know how to hide“) and that the cops told him, Jim Jones, and J.R. Writer to “get their face[s] out their shirts” in spite of the freezing weather.

Cam’ron Tells His 2003 Bailout Story

“Now the car pulls up that got the windows shot out, talking about, ‘Yeah, it was one of them,’” Cam’ron went on. “We like, ‘Nobody got time for this nonsense.’ I’m standing there like it was not one of us. Bus driver looking like, ‘I’ll tell on any of y’all.’ Look at him. ‘I don’t know nobody.’” When cops found weapons in the vehicle, they denied that they were theirs. “Now they lock two of my n***as up, I start talking s**t. ‘I don’t care what the bail is, I’m bailing n***as out.’ The bail was $4.8 million. Oh my God, I was sick. But I bailed n***as out, though, and everybody was good. Peace.”

Furthermore, police claimed that the suspects shot from Cam’ron and Dipset’s tour bus at a car with three females in it. They also hit Monique E. Garnett, the driver, with unlawful firearm and drug possession, plus passenger Keith Blacknell with similar charges. While the Diplomats members did not receive any charges, they reportedly witnessed the gunfire. It’s the kind of thing that probably caused 50 Cent to regret his beef with Cam and others.

6ix9ine Gets Hit With An International Warrant For His Arrest

by

The Dominican Republic has reportedly issued an international warrant for 6ix9ine’s arrest, according to local outlet Diario Libre‘s Thursday report (August 29). Per the publication, the Court of Appeals in the Judicial District of La Vega posted this warrant and declared that he was “in rebellion” outside the D.R. since June of 2024. Therefore, they request that law enforcement authorities apprehend the rapper in any country they find him in if he doesn’t surrender first. For those unaware, this warrant stems from his October 2023 arrest for allegedly assaulting two producers, whose lawyers recently filed a motion to request his arrest.

Furthermore, this alleged assault occurred during a recording session with 6ix9ine’s then-girlfriend, Yailin La Mas Viral, and he saw freedom following a $500,000 bond. This past January, though, he was arrested again in the Dominican Republic over domestic violence claims and was released on bond a week later. Authorities ordered the New York City native to cough up a $510 deposit, engage in government counseling, and reunite with them every two months until they close their investigation into his alleged abuse of Yailin.

Sadly for 6ix9ine, this news adds to a pretty long string of public losses over the last few months. For example, Lil Tjay recently gave his ex a chain, which was probably not very fun for him to see. Regardless, the 28-year-old continues to trudge through his legal issues and his personal, social media antic-heavy struggles. We don’t know how this whole saga will end, although this new international arrest warrant certainly makes things more complicated and dire. Maybe he will eschew all of his other storylines and focus first and foremost on this challenge.

Meanwhile, speaking of other storylines, this all comes as 6ix9ine is flaunting a new hairstyle and making his return to new music. He just dropped a single, “Wassup,” to mark the start of this new era, one whose longevity is very much up in the air at this point. We’ll see if anything comes of this international arrest warrant. After all, we can’t imagine how something like this wouldn’t make someone change their movement significantly.

Fat Trel Reportedly Arrested In DC As Footage Surfaces Online

by

Fat Trel has reportedly been arrested in his home city of Washington, D.C., and we now have some new footage to look at concerning the alleged incident. Moreover, a clip shared by ABC reporter Beatrice Peterson shows him sitting on a wall with his arms extended out beside him during what appears to be a sobriety test for police. Per Peterson, law enforcement pulled the Definition Of Big Dude collaborator over on Wednesday (August 28) due to a traffic stop for running a red light. He “was reportedly under the influence, he had an open container and had been driving on a revoked license,” Peterson claims.

Furthermore, it still seems like Fat Trel is continuing his album rollout for this week, so it seems like this won’t change those plans. The last headline we heard from him was about Master P allegedly owing him and many other artists money. “I feel like we are destroying each other by not thinking,” P said on The Breakfast Club last year. “We just talking. Me, I’m a humble man. I’m a God-fearing man.

“I come from the streets, I tried to change my life,” Master P continued concerning Fat Trel and others’ accusations. “I want to show people how to grow up, change and do what I’ve done, I feel like we don’t value relationships no more. All we value is views, TikToks, likes, followers. But what about when you burning those bridges and you have to come back on that bridge? Everything that go up come down. Anybody give you an opportunity, you should be able to value that and be thankful.” “This other thing happened six years ago,” he said of allegedly not paying Jess Hilarious for film production work. “I’m saying, why are we arguing and fussing about that? Other cultures are not doing that…That’s the past. We can’t change the past but we can change the future. But we can be thankful of somebody gave me an opportunity.

“I’ve only given people opportunities,” Master P responded to Fat Trel. “Ive never forced an artist to make music or go into the studio. It’s sad that it’s always us against us. But I’m going to keep educating the ones that want to learn and grow. And to everyone I’ve crossed paths with, I wish them success.”

Chrisean Rock Admitted To Keeping A Pound Of Weed In Her Car During Arrest

by

New details are emerging regarding Chrisean Rock’s 2022 Oklahoma arrest, which is what led to her current legal situation. For those unaware, she faces up to eight years in prison in her drug case, and local Oklahoma news outlet KJRH has provided some more alleged information about the bust on Thursday (August 29). Moreover, for context, authorities extradited the Baddies star from Los Angeles to Oklahoma this June on charges of failing to affix a tax stamp on controlled dangerous substances and possession of controlled dangerous substances with intent to distribute. She’s currently in the Craig County Detention Center, awaiting the next update in her case.

Back to these new alleged details, though, Oklahoma police reportedly pulled Chrisean Rock over in February of 2022. She was in the passenger seat of a car they stopped due to not paying a toll, and they alleged smelled marijuana when they searched the vehicle. According to law enforcement, the rapper and social media personality admitted that a pound of weed that officers found was hers. Her next court date will take place on September 27 according to the current schedule.

Elsewhere, Chrisean Rock’s volatile on-and-off-again boo Blueface is facing his own legal issues, and recently spoke on their current relationship. “I don’t know, that’s a tough one,” he answered a question from DJ Hed and Gina Views about whether they would make another season of their Crazy In Love reality TV show during an exclusive phone interview on Effective Immediately. “Me and Rock, we vibing right now, but you know. When that fitness get involved, you know it might get a little weary.” Furthermore, the L.A. MC shared that they “stay on a three-way” and expressed his belief that Rock will be just fine in her case.

Meanwhile, this is what Chrisean Rock had to say for fans during her jail stint. “I’m using this time to heal,” she told social media. “Healing from a lot of s**t. A lot of stuff I be telling y’all, but I don’t be telling y’all everything. I’ma be out and I’ma be better. I can’t wait to drop my song for y’all. I can’t wait to be a better Rock.”
