Diddy’s Mother Breaks Silence On His Arrest “Created Out Of Lies”

October 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, has shared a statement discussing his recent arrest on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. Addressing Local 10 News on Sunday, Janice argued that the allegations about her son stem from a “narrative created out of lies.” She also said that, while he initially lied about assaulting Cassie in 2016, the other allegations about him are not true.

“I come to you today as another that is devastated and profoundly saddened by the allegations made against my son, Sean Combs. It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies. To bear witness to what seems like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”

From there, Janice brought up CNN publishing never-before-seen footage of Diddy hitting Cassie at a hotel in 2016, earlier this year. “Sometimes, the truth and a lie become so closely intertwined that it becomes terrifying to admit one part of the story, especially when that truth is outside the norm or is too complicated to be believed,” she said. After CNN put the video out, Diddy posted a vague apology video on social media.

Janice Combs Speaks Out

Diddy has already pleaded not guilty and plans to fight the case in court. He currently resides at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting trial. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy Labels Justin Bieber His “Little Brother” In Resurfaced Interview

October 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live from February 2011, during which he referred to Justin Bieber as “a little brother,” is resurfacing on social media. It comes after authorities arrested the Bad Boy mogul in New York City, last month, on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering.

“To a lot of us, he’s like a little brother,” Diddy said at the time. “He’s not afraid to call and ask for advice. He’s somebody that, in the industry wise, the record industry is a strong family and he’s somebody that we definitely have our arms around him. We wanna protect him. Because he’s such genuinely a nice person. Besides his talent, he’s one of the greatest kids that you could ever know.”

He also discussed the idea of buying Bieber a car. “He had the Lamborghini for a day or two and he had access to the house,” Diddy said. “He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television. Some things, everything ain’t for everybody.” When the TikTok account, WhatsTrending, shared the video on Friday, users in the comments section condemned Diddy and Bieber’s relationship. “Diddy took his innocence away. His smile. Where was his mother?” one user wrote. Another came to their defense: “Lord we just gonna take everything out of context and make it perverted.”

BlocBoy JB Gets Arrested After Allegedly Falling Asleep Behind The Wheel In Memphis

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to AllHipHop, BlocBoy JB found himself at odds with the law earlier this week when he was arrested in Memphis. Reportedly, the Tennessee Highway Patrol noticed his car sitting still at an intersection for two cycles of red lights. Allegedly, the artist had fallen asleep behind the wheel, where officers found him with a loaded gun in his lap.

Allegedly, officers found 12.4 grams of marijuana in his vehicle in addition to the firearm. As a result, he’s been charged with alleged obstruction of a highway, driving while license revoked, unlawful possession of a weapon as a convicted felon, and simple possession of marijuana. In the past, his license was revoked for an alleged DUI.

The outlet reports that he was taken to Shelby County Jail yesterday (October 1), and posted a $7,500 bond today. He’s scheduled to appear in court on October 3. Fans haven’t heard from BlocBoy JB since his arrest, which comes after he defended Memphis Grizzlies player Ja Morant following his gun-flashing incident. He argued that guns aren’t always illegal and that the athlete should be able to spend his time off the court however he wants to.

“Guns are not illegal,” he wrote in May of last year. “If he turnt in his car with his gun dats in his name in his yard and somebody recorded him dat ain’t on him. Free Ja.” This was an unpopular opinion, as it wasn’t the first time Morant found himself in a similar situation. What do you think of BlocBoy JB getting arrested in Memphis earlier this week?

Mr Prada Allegedly Arrested In Connection To Baton Rouge Therapist’s Death

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Baton Rouge therapist William Abraham’s corpse was discovered on the side of the Tangipahoa Parish highway. The 69-year-old’s cause of death has not yet been confirmed. According to Sheriff Gerald Sticker, however, he had been brutally beaten. “It was a very physical scene for lack of better words,” he explained, per WBRZ. “There was a lot of blunt force trauma and a lot of injury to this individual.”

Shortly after the tragic news was confirmed, authorities released a photo of who they allege is the last person to drive Abraham’s car. This then prompted social media sleuths to theorize that the individual in the photo was allegedly Mr Prada, a 20-year-old TikTok personality. Today (October 2), local authorities confirmed that Mr Prada was arrested, according to WAFB.

Reportedly, Mr Prada is facing charges of alleged aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. These charges are related to him allegedly fleeing from police during a traffic stop. His arrest warrant does not list any charges directly related to Abraham’s passing. “He was kind, loving, a gentle man and frankly not the kind of man that something like this would’ve happened to,” Abraham’s attorney says of the late therapist. “I’m absolutely devastated and completely surprised that something like that could’ve happened to a man who I believe to be so tender and so gentle and have such a service heart.”

Now, social media users are looking back on Mr Prada’s online activity. Some speculate that his previous posts could include signs he was struggling with his mental health. What do you think of TikTok personality Mr Prada getting arrested earlier today, according to WAFB? What about him allegedly being linked to the death of Baton Rouge therapist William Abraham?

Authorities arrested Diddy, earlier this month, after publishing a 14-page federal indictment against him. He’s since pleaded not guilty to the charges and is awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

He also confirmed that Diddy’s fully committed to fighting the case in court. “I don’t see it happening… because he believes he’s innocent,” the attorney said of him taking a plea deal. “He believes he’s innocent and what’s more, he believes that he needs to stand up not just for himself, for his family and for everybody who has been targeted by the federal government.”

“There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around … but one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video they were in possession of and to contact the person who was in the video to see if they were interested in purchasing the video before it became public knowledge,” Mitchell-Kidd said on the show, as caught by The Hollywood Reporter. “I can tell the video was pornographic in nature. … This was in his Atlanta home, and it does seem the person isn’t looking into the video.

Diddy’s Investigation Allegedly Goes International As British Authorities Search For Possible Victims

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy may be facing allegations in the United Kingdom soon enough as British authorities are looking into possible crimes he may have committed abroad, according to a new report from The Mirror. With Diddy being a regular visitor to England over the course of his career, United States investigators have reportedly flown over to London and are getting help from local detectives to find any possible victims. The news comes after authorities in America arrested Diddy, earlier this month, charging him with alleged sex trafficking and racketeering.

“Given the huge amount of time he spent in London, there are concerns that the alleged offending was not confined to America’s shores. Prosecutors are imploring anyone in the U.K. who may have information they feel could help the investigation to get in touch,” a source told The Mirror, as caught by AllHipHop.

Following his arrest, Diddy failed to get out on bail and currently resides at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He’s already pleaded not guilty to the charges and maintains his innocence. His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, further told TMZ that the Bad Boy mogul is “actually remarkably positive,” considering the situation. “I spend several hours with him every day,” he added. “His resolve is strong. He’s engaged.” That update came after the outlet reported that Diddy was on suicide watch at the jail. Agnifilo also clarified that the move is a routine measure for new, high-profile inmates.

As for his eventual trial, Agnifilo has confirmed that he will not be taking a plea deal in the case and plans to argue his innocence in court. “I don’t see it happening… because he believes he’s innocent,” the attorney said. “He believes he’s innocent and what’s more, he believes that he needs to stand up not just for himself, for his family and for everybody who has been targeted by the federal government.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.
