Keefe D Claims Diddy Put Hit On Tupac For $1M In New Audio Used In Court

Keefe D’s court case for the murder of Tupac Shakur has plenty of other suspects in its sights, especially from the defense’s side. Moreover, on Thursday (January 11), his lawyers submitted a tape of him claiming that Diddy offered him a million dollars to murder the West Coast legend, according to The U.S. Sun. However, the clip reportedly doesn’t feature the Bad Boy mogul at all, but rather Keefe (real name Duane Davis) laughing about his alleged involvement with Vegas police. Apparently, Sean Combs wanted ‘Pac and Suge Knight taken care of because tensions between the East Coast and West Coast had reached an all-time high.

Furthermore, this follows other accusations that Diddy had something to do with this whole debacle. For example, L.A.P.D. Detective Greg Kading did so back in 2011, also alleging that Suge put out the hit on Biggie Smalls. “We got Keffe D’s back up against the wall,” he recalled to HipHopDX around this time, explaining how they began to put the pieces of the story together. While this is purely speculative, it’s also to show for just how long rumors like these have dominated hip-hop conversations and gossip mills.

“He explained to us that him and his nephew, [Orlando Anderson], and the rest of that little Crip entourage, committed the murder of Tupac out in Las Vegas,” Kading continued of Keefe D and Diddy’s involvement. “Then he explains that the conspiracy to commit the murder of Tupac had developed in Los Angeles during his conversations with Puffy Combs. We realized now that we had some legitimate ownership of [Tupac’s case, too]. Even though the murder took place in Las Vegas, and technically it was their investigation, since the conspiracy to murder happened in our jurisdiction, it gave us a legitimate cause to investigate it.

“Since now we had the star witness, [Keefe D], and now we needed to protect him in order to further the investigation to take it up to where it’s tied to the other conspirators, we needed to really protect that aspect of the case,” he went on. “Because if it got out, ‘Hey, Keefe D’s cooperating,’ or anything like that, well, you can imagine that would’ve interfered with the ongoing investigation.” For what it’s worth, Puff Daddy’s denied any and all accusations when it comes to this.

Jonathan Majors & Grace Jabbari Argue In Newly Released Audio

Amid Jonathan Majors’ assault trial, new audio between him and his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari has been released. In the audio, the two of them are heard arguing over what sounds like a night out. He makes it clear that he wasn’t happy that she “disturbed the peace” in their house by arriving home drunk. Majors told her that in order to properly support him in his endeavors, she has to have a “certain mindset.” He went on to reference Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama, who both famously supported their husbands.

“I’m a great man,” he adds. “A great man. I am doing great things not just for me, but for my culture and for the world. That is actually the position I’m in.” He goes on, claiming that the woman he’s with also needs to be “great” and “make sacrifices” the way he does. Jabbari isn’t heard saying much, but seems to be crying and apologizes a few times throughout the snippet.

Jonathan Majors Rants In New Audio Snippet

The audio has left social media users split. Some feel as though what he’s saying is fair, while others believe he comes off as manipulative. Several others note that without proper context, it’s difficult to make a call. The clip also follows newly unveiled surveillance footage, which shows him lifting her into an SUV and struggling to keep her inside the vehicle until she eventually makes her way out. From there, he runs from her for several blocks while she trails behind, eventually losing him.

The driver of the vehicle testified, suggesting that Jabbari may have been the aggressor in this instance. “I had a feeling the girl had hit the boy… because of the way that she was fighting, and the sounds produced. She became very angry. He was not doing anything, she was doing it,” he said, admitting that he had only heard their exchange, and not actually witnessed it. What do you think of the newly released audio of Jonathan Majors and his ex Grace Jabbari? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Amanda Bynes’ Podcast Debuts With Tattoo Artist Interview After Mental Health Crisis Recovery

Amanda Bynes was a childhood favourite starlet for many, but unfortunately, not unlike her contemporaries, the transition into being an adult hasn’t been so easy for her. We’ve seen the blonde beauty fall in and out of toxic relationships since wandering away from her successful acting career, also dabbling in substance abuse to help cope with her mental struggles. In the early half of 2023, Bynes resurfaced in mainstream news, though the reasons were more concerning than flattering. At the time, she was wandering naked around downtown Los Angeles while experiencing an episode, though she was thankfully able to get herself help.

The Sydney White star spent much of her spring seeking professional medical help, which seems to be working as she’s doing well enough to launch a new podcast. This past weekend, TMZ reported on the first episode of Bynes’ internet show with longtime friend Paul Sieminski, which finds the duo chatting with tattoo artist Dahlia Moth – another affiliate of the female host. The full conversation is less than 30 minutes long and marks one of the first times the public has heard much from Amanda in recent years.

Is Amanda Bynes Making a Comeback?

Her co-host does most of the question-asking, but the 37-year-old still speaks throughout after introducing herself and Sieminski. In the time since she quit acting full-time, Bynes has been pursuing other creative avenues, such as fashion school. Like Britney Spears, she was previously under a conservatorship, though her parents have made it clear they have no intent on reinstating that amid Bynes’ recent struggles.

Back in July, Amanda Bynes was finally able to come home from the hospital where she was receiving treatment for her mental health crisis. Since then, the Hairspray actress has been pouring her energy into personal growth and development, allowing her to step back into the public eye on her terms with this new podcasting project. Read more about Bynes’ recovery plan at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Keke Palmer’s Mom Threatens Darius Jackson With A Bullet In New Explicit Audio: Report

The internet has been standing proudly behind our big sister, Keke Palmer, for years now. From her earliest roles in Jump In! and True Jackson VP to the birth of her first child this year, the 30-year-old has happily taken us along on the ride of her life off the big screen. Unfortunately, that means we’ve also had a front-row seat to the drama playing out between her and baby daddy Darius Jackson over the past few months. Things became messy between them after the personal trainer publicly shamed his co-parent for enjoying herself in a curve-hugging black dress at Usher’s Las Vegas concert.

They were able to play that off as a potential press stunt and play coy about the status of their relationship in the following weeks. As a result, reports of Palmer filing for sole custody of baby Leodis and a restraining order against Jackson last week came as a shock. After seeing visual evidence of Darius putting his hands on the Chicago native, and reading disturbing details of his empathy toward animals who eat their young, a judge understandably put some distance between the young family. As they await their early December court date, TMZ is sharing new details, including a video of Sharon Palmer seemingly threatening her grandson’s father with gun violence.

Darius Jackson Denies Keke Palmer’s Abuse Allegations

The outlet claims that when Jackson arrived at Palmer’s house to pick up Leodis to watch football, he wasn’t there. The former couple then began arguing, and before long, Keke put her mom on the phone to share some thoughts with Darius. “You motherf**ker!” Sharon yells in the clip above. “Where’s my baby?” he asks from behind the camera before things heat up even more. “You better watch out! You might get a bullet in your motherf**king head!” she adds before the audio cuts off.

At this time, Leodis’ father is denying all allegations of abuse, and it has been noted that cops failed to find probable cause to arrest him for domestic violence, or even file a report when they came to their house. Court is scheduled for December 5th, at which time the accused abuser will plead his case. Prior to TMZ sharing the alleged audio of Sharon threatening Darius Jackson, Keke Palmer’s mom had plenty to say about the personal trainer’s brother. According to the Palmer family matriarch, Sarunas J. Jackson is “the biggest f-boy in Hollywood.” Read everything Sharon had to say at the link below and let us know how you feel about today’s chilling update in the comments.

Rich Homie Quan Allegedly Addresses Young Thug’s Case In Leaked Audio

Many of the youngest fans of hip-hop might not remember, but there was a time when the new hot duo to look out for was Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug. Their run of mixtapes and frequent collaborations got a lot of hype around them as they developed their unique style. However, eventually something got in the way, and the two haven’t spoken to each other in years, it seems. Still, a recent audio leak that allegedly captured Quan’s remarks revitalized interest in their whole situation. Moreover, it’s because he appears to speak on Thug’s current RICO case in what seems to be some sort of interview setting, or at least a very formal and pointed question-and-answer conversation.

While the video is hard to understand, there are some things that really stand out in the recording. One of those is that Rich Homie Quan allegedly said something along the lines of: “Thug had something to do with it, we just can’t prove it.” In addition, Quan said that there was never any beef with Young Thug, suggesting that they just drifted apart. “That s**t was deeper than rap,” Quan apparently says at one point, calling the situation “real f***ed up.” Also, he seemingly says that he “loves” Thugger.

Rich Homie Quan Allegedly Speaking On Young Thug

Of course, a lot of people started debating in the comments whether this is an instance of “snitching.” Even though Rich Homie Quan’s remarks were caught on camera, it’s unclear whether he really knew that someone was recording it. That being said, the context of his remarks also seems to be in an interview setting with an unspecified interviewer, and it’s hard to say whether someone would really be asking him these things in regular conversation. Either way, there’s clearly more nuance in Quan’s words than people believe at first glance.

Meanwhile, the YSL artist recently faced snitching accusations of his own. Furthermore, his legal team denied allegations that he provided information on a homicide. As he fights in the courtroom, perhaps other rap artists will come forward to speak on his situation in more detail. But if that’s the case, then more controversy and speculation will surely follow, so maybe the alternative to that, keeping quiet, is best. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan.

Bad Bunny’s Headlining Coachella Set Brings Out Post Malone, But Faces Tech Issues

Bad Bunny is sure to be one of the highlights of this year’s iteration of Coachella, even though this weekend’s set had some small issues. Moreover, the Boricua superstar gave fans a lengthy and expansive collection of some of his greatest hits, as he tends to do. However, for his performance’s acoustic portion, he was joined in stage by none other than Post Malone, who played “LA CANCIÓN” and “Yonaguni” on his guitar. Despite crowd excitement, it slightly put a damper on the show’s momentum and mood because the guitar and microphone weren’t working properly.

Regardless, the two seemed to have a great time on stage together, despite neither of them being able to understand each other well. In fact, when Bunny first saw Post, he asked him what he was doing here, as he forgot Malone got called to perform. Overall, it was slightly frustrating because there were a lot more songs to go, and the delay with tech issues wasn’t helping. Even though that was a hiccup, it was still a strangely cool moment to see Benito and the “rockstar” artist link up, and for the crowd to sing a cappella to them. Also, the show went on with no further pauses or issues, and was already going great for the “Bichiyal” MC.

Post Malone Pops Out

Another curious moment during the show was Bad Bunny’s speech on people not really knowing famous celebrities. To sum it up, he basically said that he saw something online that really riled him up that, while he didn’t give any details, apparently has to do with him regretting something. Given Bad’s tabloid presence due to his relationship with Kendall Jenner, fans wondered whether that was a factor. No matter what he talked about, the takeaway for fans was to only believe something when they hear it out of his mouth.

Meanwhile, his words could also have to do with the $40 million lawsuit his ex girlfriend brought forth against him. According to the legal motion, Bad Bunny used a voice recording of hers as an ad-lib without permission. He’s an absolute superstar, and while that comes with more accountability and scrutiny, he takes it in stride for the most part. Check out more clips of his Coachella set below and return to HNHH for the latest on Bad Bunny and Post Malone.

GloRilla’s Grandma Says She Looks Rihanna: Listen

With over seven billion people in the world, finding another human being who looks like you isn’t exactly mission impossible. While some people are born alongside their identical twins, others find their doppelgangers later in life, noticing similarities after discovering a new actor in a movie or coming across a familiar-looking stranger on social media. Of course, there are those who insist they look similar to another person – usually someone of great fame and fortune – though the rest of the world begs to differ. GloRilla happens to fall into the latter category, although her grandma rushed to her defence over the weekend.

The 23-year-old is no stranger to flexing her confidence on social media, whether while bragging about her “curves” or comparing herself to Rihanna. Earlier this year, GloRilla convinced some fans that she bares a resemblance to the expecting mother, though many refuse to even entertain the idea. On Sunday (March 19), the rapper caused the debate to resurface by sharing an audio clip from a recent voicemail on Twitter.

GloRilla’s Grandma Ends the Debate

“How come you didn’t tell me Rihanna and Gloria look so much alike?” the elderly woman asks. “I can’t tell them girls apart on TV, that girl looks just like your daughter. OK, talk to you later girl, bye,” her message ended. When reposting on social media, GloRilla added, “My [grandma] confirmed it 😂😂😂❤. Y’all be hating byeee!!! @rihanna hey sis I luv you.” The post has since earned nearly 10K likes, as well as hundreds of replies reacting to the sweet voicemail.

“Black southern grannies are different,” one person joked in the replies. Others added, “LMAO PERIOD! It’s giving you gotta use this as a song/album intro,” and “She called to say that then said bye LMAO 😂😂😂😂,” others added. Elsewhere in the news, GloRilla surprised her fans this past weekend with the bonus edition of her Anyways, Life’s Great… EP. She recruited Chicago’s Lil Durk and Florida’s Trina for the project, who appear on “Ex’s (Phatnall Remix)” and “Nut Quick (Remix)” respectively. Check that out here, and let us know if you think the “FTCU” hitmaker’s grandma is being truthful about her resemblance to Rihanna in the comments below.

Young Thug’s Baby Mama Speaks Out After Audio Surfaces Of YSL Snitches

Young Thug’s baby mama just spoke out against snitches in the YSL camp after more leaked audio surfaced of interrogations. Moreover, this follows a recent high-profile example in which Lil Woody’s interrogation video made the rounds online. Of course, accusations of being a rat and seeking personal gain at the expense of others followed. However, the gray areas in this case seem no closer to clarification, as said evidence is usually under wraps. With that in mind, Thugger’s baby mama is one of many trying to make sense of the situation.

“Man ain’t [no] way everybody doin all this talking,” she wrote on Twitter. “We all just found out rats can use their lips.” Like her, many expressed shock and disappointment at the number of plea deals and information exchanges that took place after Thug’s arrest. To be fair, many of us have no idea how we would act in that situation. Still, the situation proved to be hostile, at least according to prosecutors who said the state’s witness who was interrogated is now in danger.

Young Thug’s Baby Mama Calls Out Snitching In YSL

Furthermore, the prosecution alleged that the defense is behind these evidence leaks, possibly in order to call for a mistrial due to extreme publicity and low probability of a fair trial. What’s more is that the defense called for a mistrial shortly after. Specifically, Gina Bernard, who represents codefendant Jayden Myrick, said that publicity and court incidents will hinder his chance at a fair trial. Even if incidents like an alleged drug deal and prison stabbing didn’t occur, the conversation around snitching in particular certainly muddies the water. Still, it’s becoming a harder and harder process to get this trial underway with no bumps.

Meanwhile, Judge Ural Glanville denied said motion for a mistrial, though he issued a stern warning as to more leaks. Both the prosecution and the defense could lose certain access to evidence without supervision if more evidence comes to light pre-trial. “It affects everyone’s right to a fair trial,” Glanville told attorneys. “I don’t know who did this but if this pertains to you, please amend your ways. You’re playing a very dangerous game with your six-digit bar number.” Along those lines, people on both sides of the stand seem careless with the information they’re willing to give. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest updates on the YSL case and Young Thug.
