Diddy Allegedly Threatened To Kill Vibe Editor Over Magazine Cover

by

Diddy has entered rarified air. The music mogul has been accused of so many horrific crimes that each seems more plausible than the last. Diddy has obviously displayed violent tendencies, as evidenced by the infamous Cassie video. That being said, the latest accusations made against him remain startling. Danyel Smith, the former editor of Vibe Magazine, wrote an essay detailing her experience with Diddy during a 1997 photo shoot. She alleged, among other things, that Diddy threatened to have her killed.

Smith’s essay was published July 12 in the New York Times Magazine. She recalled profiling Diddy for the cover story of the December 1997/January 1998 issue of Vibe, given her superstar status at the time. Diddy, however, turned the process into a nightmare. He demanded to see the front cover photo of the issue, which went against Vibe‘s policy. When Danyel Smith explained the policy, the Bad Boy founder turned to intimidation. He reportedly showed up at Smith’s office with his entourage. Smith was led to safety by security before a confrontation could take place.

Diddy Demanded To See The Cover Before Publication

Unfortunately, Diddy was not deterred. He allegedly called Danyel Smith the next day that if Smith did not give him an advance copy of the magazine, she would be dead. Smith recalls, specifically, being told that she would end up “dead in the trunk of a car” if she didn’t do as she was told. The editor demanded an apology, to which the rapper reportedly responded “f*ck you.” Soon after, the servers were stolen from the Vibe office. Smith believes that Diddy’s entourage were behind the server theft, but there was no evidence to link them. Fortunately, a backup copy of the issue was stored, and it was published as originally planned.

Diddy already had a history of strong-arming journalists by 1997. He’d been found guilty for threatening a New York Post photographer with a gun the year before. Danyel Smith was aware of the risks of a cover story, but he was so big at the time that the risk was deemed worthy. “[We] had to have him on the cover,” Smith recalled. Diddy’s representatives told New York Times Magazine that he would not comment on the former editor’s allegations.

50 Cent’s Life Threatened By Former Drug Kingpin Over “Power” Lawsuit

by

An ongoing legal trouble for 50 Cent just escalated to a full-on death threat. He’s been embattled in a massive $1 billion lawsuit over his TV show Power and the inspiration behind one of its principal characters. Cory “Ghost” Holland claims that the show is eerily similar to his life story as told on his 2007 CD Blasphemy. He even claims to have sent a copy of the CD to the father of Courtney Kemp, who would go on to co-create Power. The show’s protagonist is also nicknamed “Ghost” and Holland has pointed out multiple similarities to his own story outlined in the suit.

But in a new correspondence to 50’s lawyers, Holland raised the stakes to threats of violence. According to AllHipHop, he delivered a profanity laced response that included death threats. “If a m*therf*cker gets killed because your m*therf*cking client threaten me and my family, file a m*therf*cking motion for that. I ain’t playing with your m*therf*cking client no more, next time he or anyone he sends pull up, f*ck the litigation,” Holland’s response reads. Holland also claims that it’s the last time 50 will hear from him, leaving the rest up to the judge. Check out the full letter he delivered below.

50 Cent also recently found himself in some hot water with fans. Just a few days after making comments on the donations Donald Trump received following his guilty verdict, he was in Washington DC. While there he posed for a photo-op with controversial conservative Colorado representative Lauren Boebert. 50 didn’t seem too bothered by all the backlash though, laughing it off in a later Instagram post.

What do you think of the lawsuit over 50 Cent’s Power escalating to full on death threats? Do you think Holland has a case that the show is strikingly similar to his own life story? Let us know in the comment section below.

Doja Cat Receives Death Threat After Tinychat Bullying Accusations: Report

by

One thing that seemingly always lands Doja Cat in a pot of boiling hot water, is spending time in online chat rooms. A few years ago she faced severe backlash for allegedly engaging in alt-right and racist activities across these internet hangouts. However, she vehemently denied those claims at the time.

“I want to address what’s been happening on Twitter. I’ve used public chat rooms to socialize since I was a child. I shouldn’t have been on some of those chat room sites. I personally have never been involved in any racist conversations. I’m sorry to everyone that I offended,” the Planet Her hitmaker wrote.

Additionally, she added, “I’m a Black woman. Half of my family is black from South Africa. I’m very proud of where I come from… I understand my influence and impact and I’m taking this all very seriously. I love you all and I’m sorry for upsetting or hurting any of you. That’s not my character, and I’m determined to show that to everybody moving forward. Thank you.”

While much of 2022 found her focusing on her eyebrows and bold fashion statements, it seems Doja is closing out the year by spending time on Tinychat. As HipHopDX reports, footage of the performer surfaced online earlier this week. It came from an unverified participant who later shared it on social media.

“Not only has Doja Cat been going into this chat room, this is her right here. The owner gave her admin. She bans, kicks and bullies the shit out of me in the chat,” they explained to readers.

Aside from accusations of bullying, it seems her time on Tinychat also led the California native to receive a death threat. While it remains unclear if the person who posted the clip and who allegedly verbally attacked her are the same, they were both seemingly mad about DC kicking them out of the space.

TMZ reports that Doja gave the man the boot when he began acting weird. He somehow entered again, and at this point, reportedly threatened to kill her and said he would “see her soon.” Afterward, the singer called the cops, who promptly took a report for a criminal threat.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff continues to investigate. No further updates are available at this time, but check back later for more pop culture updates.
