YouTuber Trent Out Loud Claims Jay-Z & Roc Nation Are Surveilling Content Creators For Cease And Desists

by

The explosive lawsuit against Jay-Z and Diddy for alleged sexual assault of a 13-year-old understandably dominates a lot of pop culture and gossip discourse these days, both within and beyond hip-hop. So it’s no surprise that Roc Nation is keeping a close eye on things… But how close is this gaze? Moreover, YouTuber Trent Out Loud recently claimed during a video that Hov and his company are surveilling content creators to make sure no one steps out of line with their remarks and watching out for potential cease-and-desists. This is an understandable reaction, but folks are still skeptical about potential oversteps.

“While we were on the phones and talking to sources and doing our research, two people told me that Roc Nation and Jay-Z have a whole team scouring the Internet and making sure that content creators are not stepping out of line,” Trent Out Loud remarked. “And they will send cease and desist letters or legal letters with the quickness. So I wrote these things down [and] sent it to our lawyers to review it just to make sure that we’re in the clear with everything, alright? […] What was missing on Jay-Z’s statement? Nobody’s talking about this, I don’t understand. Maybe some people are a little afraid to talk about it, but we are going to touch on it as much as we can.”

YouTuber Claims Jay-Z & Roc Nation Are Policing Content Creators

Elsewhere, Jay-Z also faces some other legal trouble such as a paternity test lawsuit that emerged in the wake of the alleged sexual assault filing. Rymir Satterthwaite claims to be the “illegitimate son” of the Brooklyn rapper, and alleges that Jay exhibited fraudulent behavior during prior paternity tests. There are also a couple of other legal and procedural stipulations that Satterthwaite suspects foul play over.

In addition, Roc Nation themselves received a lawsuit from Tony Buzbee, who filed the alleged sexual assault lawsuit against Jay-Z, for allegedly soliciting clients illegally. There are a lot of claims – both legal and more casual – flying back and forth from both sides, which only results in a lot of confusion. Without evidence or a trial proceeding, it’s hard to make heads or tails of these matters.

Azealia Banks Demands $1 Million From Matty Healy After Physical Threat

by

Last week, Azealia Banks and Matty Healy got into a heated X feud, which was ignited when the rapper went after Charli XCX’s appearance. “Charli used to be soooo pretty,” she wrote. “Ugh. Boaaa, I swear them weho gays be having the girls questioning themselves meanwhile they all scraping k off a cookie sheet, eating cold bossanova and sharing panties. Tuh.” Healy didn’t take her comment lightly and quickly fired back with a string of insults. Eventually, he even threatened to get physical with Banks.

“Talk to me like that I’m not gonna side eye you at an awards do I’m going to f*cking slap you so hard I’ll get a Guinness world record for the highest a rat some b*tch calls a wig has ever flown,” he claimed. Ultimately, he apologized, admitting that he had crossed a line. “What a bad day, I really let myself down,” he explained on Reddit. “I have worked so hard to move past these impulsive self-destructive and honestly quite volatile outbursts I have.” Banks did not accept his apology, however, and has now decided to hit The 1975’s frontman with a cease and desist.

She shared a copy of the letter today on X, making it clear that she’s not messing around. “Although you do not know my client personally and my client does not know you, you acted internationally with the specific purpose of causing my client to be shocked, distressed, and emotionally injured with your assaults by threat of imminent physical harm,” the letter reads.

“Your overt racial epithets and repeated threats of violence against my client constitute cyber harassment and cyberbullying and violate various Federal and state laws,” it continues. In addition to a public apology, Banks is requesting $1 million in damages. At the time of writing, Healy has yet to publicly respond to Banks taking legal action.

Piers Morgan Apologizes To JAY-Z And Beyonce After Controversial Interview

by

Piers Morgan recently courted controversy when be brought on Jaguar Wright to discuss the ongoing Diddy case. The musician not only leveled serious allegations at Diddy, but at JAY-Z as well. Wright has made a name for herself as a Hov critic, but Piers Morgan Uncensored was her biggest platform to date. She used it to call the Roc Nation co-founder a “monster” and align him with disreputable men. “Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Kelly, Sean Combs have one person in common professionally and privately,” Wright asserted. “Shawn Carter.” Unsurprisingly, JAY-Z and Beyonce took legal action.

Piers Morgan addressed his viewers on October 8 and clarified the situation. He confirmed that JAY-Z and Beyonce sent a cease and desist as a means of silencing Wright’s bold allegations. “Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were totally false, and have no basis in fact.” Morgan then stated that he had agreed to comply with their legal request to cut Wright’s allegations from the aired interview. “Editing interviews is not something we do lightly, at a show called Uncensored,” the journalist admitted. “But there are legal limits on us too.” Piers Morgan then took the opportunity to apologize to the power couple live.

JAY-Z And Beyonce Sent Morgan A Cease And Desist

“We apologize to JAY-Z and Beyonce,” he asserted. It makes complete sense why the couple would take legal action against Piers Morgan, but the Jaguar Wright’s interview has actually lots of notable reactions from people in the industry. Ray J took to social media to call out Wright’s decision to go on Piers Morgan Uncensored, rather than his show. “You wanna keep taking these other n**gas money,” the singer asked. “And not showing love to the community? That sh*t weak as f*ck.” Ray J also criticized Jaguar Wright for not communicating with him when he previously tried to book her.

Meek Mill is another artist who has a lot to say about the Jaguar Wright interview. Meek’s position is an admittedly fascinating one, since he has ties to both Diddy and JAY-Z. He was seemingly close friends with the former, and worked under the latter for a brief time at Roc Nation. He tweeted a couple things about Jaguar Wright, but it’s unclear what he meant by them. “F*ck is going on a silent war,” he wrote. He then followed it up by questioning why Wright got such an enormous platform to speak. “Why do these people have more of a voice than the thoroughbred people!”

Wack 100 Continues To Deny Accusing Drake Of Sending Kendrick Lamar A Cease And Desist

by

Last month, a moment from one of Wack 100’s Clubhouse streams made its rounds online. The snippet appeared to show him accusing Drake of sending Kendrick Lamar a cease and desist in an attempt to prevent him from performing “Not Like Us” at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February. According to him, however, his words were taken completely out of context.

During a recent conversation with Adam22, he explained what actually happened, and denied the No Jumper host’s accusation that he lied about it. Wack claims that he’s in a group chat with various other people, who send clips freely to be discussed on Clubhouse. He says that he simply read the title of one of these clips during the stream, and was not actually claiming it happened. “I never lied about it,” he added.

Wack 100 Insists He “Never Lied”

“I wouldn’t know,” Wack continued. “I don’t represent Kendrick’s business or Drake’s business. So I wouldn’t know what either was sending or receiving on either side unless they told me.” While Wack 100 doesn’t appear to want any part in the conversation, Charlamagne Tha God recently speculated that Drake has taken legal action over the performance.

“If he does ‘Not Like Us’ at the Super Bowl, I want the opening cords and then just the hook,” he theorized on The Breakfast Club last month. “If you think that the NFL and Roc Nation and a bunch of other people didn’t get a whole bunch of legal letters yesterday from people with owls as their stamp. I promise you, you’re not calling me a pedophile at the Super Bowl. I guarantee you, the OVO people sent so many legal letters yesterday.” What do you think of Wack 100 continuing to deny accusing Drake of sending Kendrick Lamar a cease and desist?

Wack 100 Clarifies He Never Accused Drake Of Sending Kendrick Lamar A Cease And Desist

Wack 100 says he never intended to accuse Drake of sending Kendrick Lamar a cease and desist over his Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Speaking with DJ Akademiks about the viral clip appearing to show him doing as such, he explained that he was only reading a post off of social media and the moment was taken out of context.

“I read a f*cking clip,” Wack argued. “I wouldn’t know if Drake sent a cease and desist. Why? Because I don’t represent Kendrick in business or Drake in business so I wouldn’t know if a cease and desist happened. I wouldn’t know. All I did was read a f*cking clip.” The viral clip stems from a livestream Wack did recently on Clubhouse.

Wack isn’t the first person to theorize Drake may have sent a cease and desist letter over the situation. After the NFL first announced the news, Charlamagne Tha God said on The Breakfast Club: “If he does ‘Not Like Us’ at the Super Bowl, I want the opening cords and then just the hook. If you think that the NFL and Roc Nation and a bunch of other people didn’t get a whole bunch of legal letters yesterday from people with owls as their stamp. I promise you, you’re not calling me a pedophile at the Super Bowl. I guarantee you, the OVO people sent so many legal letters yesterday.”

Al B Sure Sends Cease And Desist Over Allegedly Fake Kim Porter Memoir

by

It’s no secret that Al B Sure has issues with the memoir allegedly written by Kim Porter before her death. The book has been blowing up since its Amazon release this month, but he alleges that it’s “calculated fiction.” Earlier this week, he took to Instagram to share his take on Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice. Clearly, he’s not a fan.

“I am writing this post to formally request an investigation into an entire group of individuals who worked at or around the residence of Ms. Kimberly Porter including the publicists who assisted drafting this,” he wrote at the time. “It has come to my attention that these persons were also instructed to steal her computer and mobile devices, which contained her ‘original book notes.’ Original notes are distinct from the fabricated bullsh*t and offensive pages circulated via Amazon which depict graphic sexual acts involving me that NEVER took place and were edited and added after Ms. Porter’s tragic murder.”

Now, according to journalist Cheyenne Roundtree, he’s taken legal action. Reportedly, he’s sent cease and desist letters to both the author of the memoir and Amazon. Allegedly, he’s demanding that they stop the book’s sales. This latest development comes after Diddy’s children King Combs, Quincy Brown, Jessie James, and D’Lila Star shared a statement alleging that Porter did not write the book.

“Claims that our mother wrote a book are simply untrue,” the statement, shared earlier this week reads in part. “She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.” What do you think of Al B Sure sending a cease and desist to Amazon and the author of an allegedly fake Kim Porter memoir? Can you blame him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Wack 100 Accuses Drake Of Sending Kendrick Lamar Cease And Desist Over Super Bowl Performance

by

Earlier this month, Kendrick Lamar announced that he’ll be headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans in February. Many consider this to be the cherry on top of an already massively successful few months for the Compton rapper. He went head to head with Drake in a viral lyrical battle, and ultimately came out on top with tracks like “Euphoria” and of course, “Not Like Us.”

According to Wack 100, however, he may not actually get the opportunity to perform the smash hit at the event. On Clubhouse recently, he even alleged that Drake sent Kendrick a cease and desist in order to prevent it. At this point, this claim is completely unconfirmed, though anyone could understand why he may not want him to perform the song.

Wack 100 Discusses Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

Famously, Kendrick accuses Drake and his OVO crew of being pedophiles on it. This is probably not an allegation Drake wants to be thrown around more than it already has been amid the feud, and might explain the alleged cease and desist. It’s not the first time someone has theorized that Drake’s already taken legal action over the upcoming performance either. Earlier this month, Charlamagne Tha God shared a similar theory. His suspicion, however, is that Drake allegedly took legal action only to prevent Kendrick from accusing him of being a pedophile onstage.

“If he does ‘Not Like Us’ at the Super Bowl, I want the opening cords and then just the hook,” he said at the time. “If you think that the NFL and Roc Nation and a bunch of other people didn’t get a whole bunch of legal letters yesterday from people with owls as their stamp. I promise you, you’re not calling me a pedophile at the Super Bowl. I guarantee you, the OVO people sent so many legal letters yesterday.” What do you think of Wack 100 accusing Drake of sending Kendrick Lamar a cease and desist to prevent him from performing “Not Like Us” during the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February?

Rick Ross’ Ex Tia Kemp Looks Unbothered On IG Live Amid Cease And Desist Drama

by

It’s been an eventful few weeks for Rick Ross’ ex Tia Kemp, but fortunately, it doesn’t look like she’s let that get her down. Kemp, who shares one child with the performer, recently took aim at him and his current girlfriend, Cristina Mackey. This prompted a response from his new boo, who called her out for allegedly making “fake accounts” to hate on her. Kemp fired back with full force, calling Mackey a “hoe” and threatening to attack her. She even claimed to have information on a secret medical condition of Ross’, announcing that she’d ”send TMZ to his doctor” unless he paid her off.

Unsurprisingly, this resulted in Ross sending her a cease and desist, which stated that her claims were false and defamatory. In response, she again put him on blast, arguing that he was barking up the wrong tree. “Sue 50 Cent then,” she said. “Don’t beef with me. Told you I wasn’t a rapper years ago, now you wanna shut me up. You ain’t shut up DJ Envy. You won’t cease [and desist] DJ Envy when he was putting on that CO uniform.”

Tia Kemp Seems Content

He later appeared to have some sympathy for his former lover, backhandedly detailing all that she’s going through. “Her mother, who’s a 30-year reoccurring crack addict, she’s back addicted, and Tia’s dealing with it,” he described. Ross then claimed that Kemp had “botched” plastic surgery, but will “get over it” eventually.

It seems as though despite all of this, Kemp is doing better than ever, recently hopping on live to jam out to some music. In a clip from the live, she’s seen dancing contently, looking as if she’s gotten what she set out for. What do you think of Tia Kemp looking unbothered on Instagram Live amid her feud with Rick Ross? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Rick Ross’ Ex, Tia Kemp, Fires Back Over Cease-&-Desist

Rick Ross’ ex, Tia Kemp, cursed out the rapper on social media over the weekend after he sent her a cease and desist. She says Ross should instead be focused on suing 50 Cent or DJ Envy, whom Ross has been feuding with during the last year. The cease and desist letter claims Kemp made “disturbingly false and defamatory statements” about Ross and his family.

“Sent me a cease and desist. I ain’t lying. It’s the truth,” Kemp remarked on Instagram Live. “How you gonna sue me for defamation? Sue 50 Cent then. Don’t beef with me. Told you I wasn’t a rapper years ago, now you wanna shut me up. You ain’t shut up DJ Envy. You won’t cease [and desist] DJ Envy when he was putting on that CO uniform. Motherfucker, you a real CO.”

The cease and desist comes after Kemp made numerous comments on Ross and his current girlfriend, Cristina Mackey, on social media. In addition to labeling her a “hoe,” she claimed Ross’ bed was dirty and caused her to get sick. “The sheets was dirty since the pandemic. I laid on red Versace sheets and got influenza the day after I come home,” she said. Check out her latest post regarding Rick Ross below.

In addition to her various social media comments, Kemp also previously published the memoir, Tia’s Diary Deeper Than Rap: Clarity, Truth, And Exposure, which details her four years with Ross. Be on the lookout for further updates on Rick Ross on HotNewHipHop.

Rick Ross Allegedly Hits Tia Kemp With Cease And Desist Amid Cristina Mackey Drama

by

Rick Ross has been at the center of quite a bit of drama in recent weeks, most of which surrounds his relationship with Cristina Mackey. The mother of one of Ross’ kids, Tia Kemp, hopped on IG Live last week to roast Mackey for her cooking skills, prompting a response from the singer. Without naming any names, Mackey urged haters to mind their own business, suggesting that if they were happy in their lives they wouldn’t be so set on bringing her down.

Kemp fired back with full force, dubbing Mackey a “h*e,” and threatening to attack her. She even claimed to be suspicious about Ross’ upcoming urologist appointment, revealing that she had been snooping around his home the last time she was there. “I want to know what’s going on with you? Why you going to see a urologist?” she asked. “Is you getting ding dings extensions?” She later claimed that she’d ”send TMZ to his doctor” unless he paid her off.

Tia Kemp Claims She Has “Texts And DMs” To Back Her Up

It appears as though Ross has had enough of the drama, however, allegedly sending Kemp a warning to back off recently. She took to her Instagram Story to share photos of what appears to be a cease and desist letter. The alleged letter accuses her of “making disturbingly false and defamatory statements” about Ross and his family. It also claims that Ross “exclusively possesses the right to reap the benefits of commercial exploitation of [his] own name, likeness or identity.”

“He defamed me and my family for for years!” Kemp captioned one of the images, also claiming to have receipts. “F*ck all yall! Sue ME! I’m poor! and I got texts and dms,“ she wrote.
