Diddy’s Alleged Former Employees Claim They Experienced Violence In The Workplace

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy is facing even more allegations of wrongdoing this week, but they don’t have anything to do with the current lawsuits against him. Moreover, The Daily Beast reportedly spoke to five alleged former employees of his businesses, specifically the lifestyle brand Sean John and the former advertising agency Blue Flame. These individuals claim that Sean Combs created a hostile, abusive, and “erratic” workplace environment. One particular female witness (supposedly) alleged that he grabbed her face during a disagreement and wanted her to think of him as Karl Lagerfeld. Others also claimed that they experienced some form of physical, emotional, or mental distress during their time under the bad Boy mogul.

For example, one alleged former employee claimed that Diddy fired him after the employee gave him a disappointed look after he arrived late at a meeting. This, along with other accusations, reportedly led these employees to not feel much surprise when the video of him assaulting Cassie broke. Another account claims that the New York rapper and businessman refused to acknowledge that his workplace felt “inundated” with work. This led to the failure to complete a specific project, which he allegedly refused to take accountability for.

“It was as if you’re walking down the street and someone randomly threw a brick at your head out of the blue,” another alleged former employee claimed about Diddy. “Out of the blue, if he was unhappy with something that you might not have done but he thought you did, you ‘caught a brick.’” They continued their story and alleged that he verbally attacked them to the point that “security guards rushed over. While he’s six inches from my face, screaming at me, telling me I f***ed up.”

“I was surprised by the level of violence that he had toward Cassie in that video,” this particular alleged former employee said of Diddy’s actions. “I didn’t see his anger going to that level, I really didn’t, I wouldn’t have stayed had I known what was going on. I’ll tell you that much.”

Erica Banks Puts Controversial BBL On Full Display In NSFW Twerking Video

June 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As of late, Erica Banks has found herself subject to a great deal of criticism for undergoing a second BBL. Earlier this week, a clip of the femcee performing at a music festival made its rounds online, prompting countless social media users to weigh in. Many argued that she may have gone too far in enhancing her backside, and advised her to slow down.

Despite facing backlash for her new figure, Banks has made it clear that she’s unfazed. The Texas-born baddie is seen throwing it back to Flo Milli’s Fine Ho, Stay cut “Clap Sum” in a new video, looking unbothered as can be. “Hey yall, I love this song I couldn’t stop twerkin yesterday ,” she wrote. “Imma delete later don’t trip.” Unfortunately, the criticism continues.

“It’s just too muchhhh,” one commenter claims. “The First BBL was proportioned right. This is a lot,” someone else writes. Others are even urging Banks to consider getting it reduced, though she obviously sees no problem with its size. Of course, not everyone has a problem with her curves, as there are also several thirsty fans praising her for her appearance.

Banks’ BBL isn’t the only reason she’s made headlines in recent weeks, as earlier this month, fans dug up some of her old Tweets after she threw a bit of shade at Megan Thee Stallion. She appeared confident in her ability to take on the “Hiss” performer in a freestyle battle, despite previously referring to her as her “alter ego.” What do you think of Erica Banks facing criticism for her BBL? Do you think she went too far, or are critics overreacting? What about her showing it off despite what haters have to say? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Saucy Santana Explains Controversial Thoughts On Women Not Being As Strong As Men

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Saucy Santana often catches or gives out flack for online comments, and there’s usually some form of explanation attached either way. Moreover, this time, he got some skeptical responses to controversial comments he made about women not being as strong as men. Considering the rapper’s more feminine energy and his sexuality, it’s natural to expect some conversations about gender and identity to come up. But this particular take seemed to anger some fans out there, and he came through with an explanation of what he initially meant.

“You know what I really hate?” Saucy Santana’s original comments began. “‘Cause girls don’t got the strength as n***as. They don’t. I grew up around the other girls. I hate when girls be like, ‘Oh, I’m a dog, I’m a man, I act just like a n***a out here.’ No y’all don’t, baby, no y’all don’t. It’s just not. Y’all just soft, y’all females, it’s the estrogen, baby. It’s not happening. You cannot move like a n***a, you cannot think like a n***a, you cannot act like a man. It’s just not happening. And I want y’all to stop lying to y’all selves, telling y’all selves that y’all want these n***as to tell y’all the truth.”

“So, I’m not gon’ take it personal,” Saucy Santana’s response to the backlash to his comments kicked off. “‘Cause I know a lot of y’all really read, like, headlines. So everybody read the headline, nobody got the message. When it comes to me, it’s always giving he/him. I’m a boy, I’m a man, I’m a n***a. Whatever y’all wanna feel like. Regardless of how much you see lashes and nails and the pretty face, I’m a boy.

“And so, what I was referencing was, when boys date me, they just as simple-minded as y’all,” Saucy Santana went on. “They gag, they be like, ‘Yo, you really act like a n***a. Yo, you really a man.’ Duh! People see me and see the feminine energy and emotes and they be like, ‘Oh, he think he a girl.’ No, I’m a n***a, a dog-a** n***a. And that’s how I know. I grew up a lot of girls, and girls are soft. And they can’t maneuver like n***as ’cause we really cutthroat, and y’all really not like that.”

Rick Ross Responds To 50 Cent’s Latest Troll Bringing Up His Controversial Lyrics

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross and 50 Cent have a pretty long beef history, and the two rap moguls are never above sending shots each other’s way. However, the latter’s most recent attack against the former roped in some other folks, namely Diddy, R. Kelly, and Jeffrey Epstein. Moreover, Fif posted artwork of the three to his social media with a very particular song in the background: “U.O.E.N.O.” On that track, Rozay spit some lyrics about spiking a woman’s champagne with molly and having nonconsensual intercourse with her, which obviously got him in some hot water. “You know some times I think people are just stupid, why would you say this in song?” the post’s caption read. “I DRUGGED HER A**, AND I R***D HER A**, AND SHE AINT EVEN KNOW IT !”

Well, it looks like Rick Ross thinks that 50 Cent is more worthwhile game than The Game’s diss track against him, as he came through with a response while still failing to respond on wax to the Los Angeles rapper. “This was a Lyric, Daphne joy accused/says you sodomized and r***d her as you held her down in front of your son [facepalm emoji] Curtis [shocked face emoji] @50cent,” he responded to 50 in the comments section of his Instagram post.

For those unaware, Rick Ross specifically referred to Daphne Joy’s recent claims against 50 Cent alleging this behavior, which he’s staunchly denied engaging in at all. As such, it looks like either side of the beef aisle here is dealing with some heavy accusations that are actively scarring their public-facing character. Of course, Fif’s taken this all much more lightly than even Diddy himself, who’s stayed pretty mute on the whole thing unless a response is completely warranted. Sadly, this opportunity presented itself in a very ugly way recently.

Diddy recently had to address surveillance footage that exposes him physically assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. 50 Cent was one of many to react to this, and has extended his animosity for the Bad Boy executive to other beefs in his life like Rick Ross. They’re very much playing with “us versus them” narratives either way. Maybe they should jab at each other over pretty much anything else other than real, deep, and damning alleged crimes.

50 Cent Keeps Claiming That Diddy Might Take His Own Life Amid Sexual Assault Lawsuits

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has gone to pretty much every emotional extreme in his attempts to mock Diddy amid his various abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking lawsuits. Moreover, he’s been as sadly mournful, overtly gleeful, conspiratorial, troll-heavy, and angry as he’s ever been in his attacks against the Bad Boy mogul. But even the biggest Puff haters might do a double take with Fif’s recent rhetorical focus when it comes to his comments on the matter. For example, he recently reacted to yet another sexual assault lawsuit against Sean Combs with a potentially insensitive and morbid thought that fans might not stomach well.

“[Eyes emoji] Damn man I have never seen anything like this before, if you cool with puffy call him,” 50 Cent captioned a recent Instagram post sharing a news story on Diddy’s newest lawsuit. “He might boom [explosion emoji] his self. Meeka check on ya man !” Furthermore, this isn’t the first time that he’s referred to this dark act in relation to this situation. “Got damn boy another one,” the G-Unit mogul wrote in a since-deleted IG post reacting to another lawsuit against Combs this week. “This my last puffy post I think he might kill himself. I don’t want no parts of that.”

While that obviously wasn’t true, as 50 Cent continues to troll Diddy online, a lot of other folks weren’t as quick to jump to these conclusions. Also, this new wave of lawsuits comes amid recently released footage of the music executive assaulting his then-partner Cassie in a hotel hallway. This represented the final straw for folks that previously doubted the potential for crimes here, but the word “potential” is key here. After all, many of the other atrocities that are being accused haven’t been scrutinized by a court of law or other evidence as of writing this article.

Meanwhile, we’ll see what these new lawsuits result in and whether there’s a big update on the Diddy case in the works. Of course, we know that 50 Cent will probably be first in line to comment on it either way, and we can never underestimate the unexpected from him. Hopefully more action comes about in the near future to push these cases along and get to the bottom of things as fast as possible, whether to condemn or to clear. But this accusatory ambiguity, resulting in self-harm jokes, has proven to be more dangerous than we thought.

Sean Kingston Arrested Hours After House Raid On Fraud & Theft Charges

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Just hours after his mother went into police custody during a SWAT raid on his Florida mansion, authorities arrested Sean Kingston at a California concert on fraud and theft charges. Moreover, he was performing at Fort Irwin for U.S. Army personnel, as indicated by social media coverage of these chaotic developments and some surfaced show clips. The singer and rapper now awaits extradition to Florida, where authorities filed these charges, from a San Bernadino jail. Authorities arrested his mother Janice Turner on similar charges of fraud and theft, which he reacted to via his Instagram Story. “People love negative energy! I am good and so is my mother! My lawyers are handling everything as we speak.”

Furthermore, this all relates to a lawsuit against Sean Kingston filed earlier this year from the company Ver Ver Entertainment LLC. They claim Kingston breached his contract with them and committed fraud when he reached out to buy a big TV and sound system. Rather than paying over $100,000 for the goods, he allegedly promised the company that he and “Eenie Meenie” collaborator Justin Bieber would make promotional videos for it. Following a $30,000 down payment and the promise of another $47,000 sum down the line, this promise allegedly never manifested after they installed the TV, and neither did the social media promotions.

Previously, Sean Kingston caught accusations of failing to pay for certain items, such as a November 2023 debacle with watch company Dream Watch over two unpaid pieces: a Richard Millie Model RM 65.01 Automatic and a Patek Phillipe Calibre. The company, seeking an award of over a million dollars, claimed that he contacted them in 2022 to buy the watches. Apparently, a representative flew from Malaysia to Los Angeles to give them. Allegedly, the Jamaican-American creative didn’t have the money for them, despite promising to pay via wire transfer.

“Sean Kingston represented his initial wire attempt was rejected because it was flagged by his bank due to the large amount being wired overseas,” the lawsuit read. “Thereafter, Kingston represented his account was frozen due to the initial wire attempt, amongst other excuses which persisted for over three months until Kingston stopped responding to Plaintiff entirely. Ultimately, the agreed upon funds [are still missing], and Defendants continue to refuse to render payment as agreed. Defendant Kingston continues to possess the two watches.”

Diddy Accused Of Forcing Woman To Have Sex With Kim Porter In New Sexual Assault Lawsuit

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy received yet another sexual assault lawsuit amid his current scandal over abuse and sex trafficking claims, among other alleged crimes. Moreover, this one accuses him of forcing a woman to have sex with his then-partner Kim Porter, who has since passed. The alleged victim’s name is April Lampros, and filed suit in New York on Thursday (May 23) for battery, sexual assault, inflicting emotional distress, and gender-motivated violence. Lampros claimed that Sean Combs assaulted her four times, including the supposed Kim Porter incident during which she was allegedly forced to take ecstasy. She claims to have first met him in 1994 as a fashion student, and also claimed that he recorded their sexual acts and showed them to others without her consent.

Furthermore, Lampros alleged that the first of these incidents occurred in 1995 and that Diddy pressured her to drink alcohol, which led to “uneasy” feelings. Supposedly, she passed out in a hotel room, and that’s when he allegedly sexually assaulted her. Months later, the suit alleges, the Bad Boy mogul sent Lampros multiple gifts and successfully offered to discuss business opportunities with him. But she claims that he assaulted her again later that year in a parking garage by forcing her to her knees to perform oral sex on him.

Also, Lampros alleges that she tried to cut ties with Diddy after that alleged assault, and that he threatened to physically hurt her and blacklist her from the fashion world. The third incident, the lawsuit claims, happened in 1996, when he allegedly forced Lampros and Kim Porter to take ecstasy and have sex with each other. According to the alleged victim, the New York native told her that she “had no control over the situation as he could make her lose her job.” The suit further claims that he masturbated while they engaged in the sexual act, and that he sexually assaulted Lampros afterwards.

In addition, she claims that Diddy and Kim Porter led to Lampros’ firing from a bar after they saw her working there. While she alleges that her relationship with him ended by 1998, she also claimed that they ran into each other two years later, after which he incessantly called her phone to say that he missed her. They apparently met at her apartment with one of the music executive’s bodyguards, and Puff allegedly kissed Lampros and touched her without her permission before she made him leave. Along with several photos of them together in the suit, this is what she said about their relationship. “I’m confident that justice will prevail and the veil will be removed so no other woman will have to endure what I did.” Lampros filed the seventh sexual assault lawsuit in six months against Combs, and the second this week.

Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Has A Message For People Threatening Him

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s former bodyguard Roger Bonds recently spoke to media outlets like Piers Morgan about his old employer’s alleged abuse of Cassie and Kim Porter. As a result, it seems like a lot of people are questioning why he chose to speak out about all these allegations and accusations right now, instead of back during his tenure as he witnessed these alleged crimes. However, many folks pointed out in the comments section of the Instagram post below that Cassie said Bonds was the only one who helped her. In addition, he had a message on the social media platform for everyone who sent him threats and harassing messages over his involvement and current role in all this.

“Yo, to everybody who don’t understand what I’m doing, why I’m doing it,” Diddy’s former bodyguard began his video, which he captioned “F**k you.” “Y’all can send all the messages y’all want, y’all can send all the threats y’all want, y’all can call me old, y’all can call me whatever y’all wanna call me. It don’t bother me. As long as you don’t run up on me, as long as you don’t invade my space, we cool.

“I don’t give a f**k what y’all say, I don’t know y’all,” Diddy’s former bodyguard Roger Bonds continued. “Half of y’all -– most of y’all, Puff don’t know. Y’all just d**kriding and standing up for a n***a that could beat up your mother, beat up your sister, beat up your daughter, beat up everything. Yeah, it’s a lot of reasons why I’m doing this, you know what I’m saying? But don’t say that I didn’t speak up and don’t say that I didn’t come between them.

“Read the lawsuit before you come at me and say, ‘Yo, you did this, you did that, you didn’t do this, do that,’” Diddy’s former bodyguard concluded. “All you washed-up n***as, y’all can save it, man, this is for the women, period. This ain’t even for you n***as that’s saying slick s**t to me. Because none of y’all n***as would say slick s**t to me straight up and down. And if y’all n***as is willing to meet your demise over a motherf***er you don’t even know… then you know how to handle it.”

Diddy Accused By Producer Of Trying To Force Oral Sex Onto Him

May 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy has been in a whirlwind of accusations and lawsuits for the past few months over alleged abuse, sex trafficking, and more. However, while many think that the worst is already behind him, new claims, allegations, and potential evidence continues to emerge and build the unconfirmed and speculative case against him. The latest of these comes from producer Prince, who recently took to Instagram to claim that the Bad Boy mogul attempted to blackball him in the industry because he refused to perform oral sex on him. The Grammy Award-winning musician claimed that he’s been warning folks about Sean Combs for years, and only now are people retracting their previous skepticism.

“13 years I’ve been exposing this man #diddy,” producer Prince captioned his IG post with his claims against Diddy. “No one believed me till now. At that time when you were my age looking as good as I did s**t he wanted my a**, but homeboy didn’t know I don’t get down wit none of that s**t #westside @deathrowrecords.”

Producer Prince’s Accusations Against Diddy

A post shared by Amir Motamedi (@longliveprince)

“I told everybody that @diddy was a #BAN back in 2011 when he took a pass at me over the @frenchmontana deal,” the post itself read. “Noooo 1 believed me. Diddy tried to blackball me because I didn’t suck his d**k. But before investigating, he didn’t know my roots with the music industry & Suge Knight. What goes around comes around and I’m still here, MF. Yall seen the videos today. Yall should have listened to @2pac. Word to @50cent.” As for the video that producer Prince refers to, it’s new alleged camera footage of Diddy supposedly assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. The actions shown in the clip match those that she alleged he performed in her since-settled lawsuit against him, although none of this has seen an official ruling or confirmation under court of law.

Meanwhile, as more folks in pop culture react to the footage, Diddy finds himself fighting more of an uphill battle than ever. Hopefully the truth emerges soon through proper investigation, corroboration, and due process. In the meantime, we’re sure that things will only get wilder from here as accusations and unverified tales mount. Who will be the next producer Prince to comment on this scandal?
