Dwight Howard Abandons Defamation Suit Against Woman Who Accused Him Of Being Bisexual

Dwight Howard is someone who has had quite a bit of turmoil as it pertains to his personal life over the last little while. Overall, he has been accused of being bisexual. Although this shouldn’t be a big deal, Howard has made it so by denying it at every turn. Furthermore, he was recently accused by a man of sexually coercing him. Howard is currently being sued for this, and a judge recently refused to drop the lawsuit. Needless to say, things are not going extremely well for the former NBA star.

When it comes to the rumors about being bisexual, they were first brought up by a transwoman named Masin Elije. This is a rumor that came out back in 2018, and it continued to snowball from there. Overall, Howard was quick to deny that this was true. In fact, he was so offended by it that he ended up filing a defamation lawsuit against Elije. This lawsuit has been ongoing for years at this point. However, we now have an update. According to The Neighborhood Talk, Howard has officially decided to dismiss the lawsuit.

Dwight Howard Drops Out

As per the report, Howard decided to do away with the lawsuit because he believed he would have lost. He was unable to produce evidence that Elije had lied about anything. For now, Elije is reportedly feeling relieved about this all being over. Regardless, it was a difficult few years for her as she had to deal with a lawsuit from a rich and powerful person. Now, Howard and Elije can officially put the whole thing behind them, once and for all.

Soulja Boy’s Baby Mama Tracked Down Blueface To Deliver Lawsuit Ahead Of His Arrest

Blueface and Soulja Boy have been at odds for some time now. Unfortunately, the former’s jail stint hasn’t prevented their feud from heating up either. Since the “Thotiana” rapper was arrested for violating his parole last month, Soulja Boy has gone after him online, even threatening to get him sexually assaulted while he’s behind bars. He also went after the mother of his third child, Chrisean Rock, and accused their son Chrisean Jr. of having Down syndrome.

A lot of their beef surrounds some NSFW claims that Blueface has made about the mother of Soulja Boy’s child, Jackilyn Martinez. “I f**ked your baby mama the day before your baby shower,” he told Soulja in December. “Till Soulja get a DNA test that’s my child lil bro I’m the daddy now… What’s old about your baby mama sucking my d**k?” he also added.

For obvious reasons, Martinez wasn’t thrilled by Blueface’s claims and promptly hit him with a defamation lawsuit. Reportedly, she went out of her way to serve Blueface ahead of his arrest, even hiring a process server who tracked him down at one of his shows with Jaidyn Alexis. Reportedly, the legal docs were delivered at Fountain LA on January 7, just after midnight. Blueface is legally obligated to respond, though it might be tough considering his current incarceration.

Apparently, his current stay is expected to last until at least July of this year. Likely, he won’t be free at that point either, however, as he’s also wanted in Vegas for an alleged probation violation. What do you think of the mother of Soulja Boy’s child suing Blueface for defamation? What about her hiring a process server to track him down at his show with Jaidyn Alexis? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Wack 100 Documentary Axed From WSHH After His Defamation Claim

If you didn’t already hear, WorldStarHipHop released a documentary on Wack 100 a couple of days ago about how he is allegedly a snitch. We knew that he wouldn’t be very happy about this, but it seems like this will pose much stronger legal ramifications. Moreover, WSHH took the video down after the music executive hit them with a defamation claim and filed to resolve this in court. In the video below, you can see exchanges between both teams and his inner circle that detail some of the motions, responses, motivations, and refutations. Overall, it looks like we might have another tattletale case on our hands in the hip-hop world.

However, given the back-and-forth between these camps and WSHH‘s prompt removal, this might just be a quick damages settlement. While we can’t say for sure, we’d predict that there’s enough pull to steer this in a favorable outcome for Wack 100. But he’s got so much going on right now that maybe this isn’t the headache we see it as; just another bag chase. For example, he’s made a lot of claims about another video, but this one is an alleged one of Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez that he warned her about potentially ruining her.

Wack 100 Moves Against WSHH For Defamation, They Pull Doc On His Alleged Snitching

Of course, there’s no real confirmation or evidence of any of this, so we can only wait for time to tell whether something will come of it. Still, folks likely know that the rap manager has a tendency to speak on others’ goings-on just as much as his own. Most recently, he contributed to conflicting stories about an altercation between Offset and 42 Dugg, with the latter maintaining that the former did not rob him successfully. It seems innocuous, but considering Wack 100’s ties in the game, it could always lead to shifting and conflicting loyalties and business partnerships.

Meanwhile, not even personal lives and relationships are safe from this ever-persistent magnifying glass. The California native is also pretty involved in Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s romance (or lack thereof, sometimes), defending his client against the former Baddies star. Surely, this axed WSHH documentary won’t discourage him from being so vocal. With that in mind, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Wack 100.

Tasha K & Cardi B Defamation Case: Blogger Dodging Nearly $4M Payment As Femcee Seeks Justice

Just a few months ago, it was surprising to see Cardi B and Tasha K seemingly putting their issues behind them in favour of peace. Because of her big heart, the “Be Careful” artist nearly went through with a major change in favour of the YouTuber. The latter was hoping to reduce her nearly four million dollar payment after coming out on top in their defamation lawsuit. However, when Cardi heard what Tasha had to say about another star – Will Smith – and his rumoured extramarital affairs with another man, she was decidedly less interested in cutting her nemesis any slack.

Now that the Unwine with Tasha K host is now facing another lawsuit, this one from Kevin Hart, HipHopDX reports that the rap diva is ramping up her efforts to secure her money. The outlet obtained documents that assert Tasha has nearly $30,000 in cash on hand, and that she spends over $20,000/month on luxuries like travel, eating out, and other categories of entertainment. Cardi is additionally seeking information on the blogger’s Georgia home and other assets at this time.

Cardi B Refuses to Take Her Foot Off of Tasha K’s Throat

Back in the summer, the New Yorker and her legal team sent multiple subpoenas to five banking institutions. Elsewhere, Cardi addressed the I Am Legend actor’s situation on IG Live, saying, “I don’t like how I was fooled a couple of weeks ago. I don’t like what people be doing to Will Smith. I be feeling like Will Smith is very unproblematic and I feel like he got like a nice heart.

It’s hard to deny that the past few weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster for Cardi B. Rather than taking accountability for her feelings and allowing herself to move from a position of power, the mother of two is now blaming her fanbase for upsetting her.

Maralee Nichols Denies One Night Stand With Tristan Thompson: “False & Defamatory”

Tristan Thompson is far from perfect, and while he’s shown considerable growth in 2023, not every woman in the athlete’s life is satisfied with his behaviour. For instance, the NBA star’s third baby mama, Maralee Nichols, continues to raise their two-year-old son, Theo, on her own while the Canadian focuses on his athletic career and attempting to mend his broken bond with Khloe Kardashian. As you may recall, a surrogate was carrying his second child with the reality starlet when news broke about his affair with Nichols, which resulted in an unexpected pregnancy.

The news was devastating for Kardashian and surely embarrassing for Thompson, who initially denied paternity. Once official documents proved otherwise, though, he took some accountability for his actions and offered a public apology to True and Tatum’s mom. On recent episodes of the famous family’s Hulu series, Khloe’s sisters have been grilling Thompson about his habit of cheating. While the father of four clearly has awareness about what’s causing this pattern in his life, he seemed to tell the Good American founder that for men, these lessons are often learned by the time its “too late” for them to find happiness.

While Thompson seeks to course correct moving into the new year, Nichols is proudly flaunting her body on IG while commemorating the holiday season. “December is my favourite month✨. Sagittarius season and Christmas 💫,” she wrote while showing off her sculpted body in a shiny dress. Many comments were hyping the 32-year-old up, but still, she couldn’t help but notice those leaning more on the inappropriate side. “[Tristan] is a fool,” one user wrote. “If you were mine, at least three more kids with [you].”

Soulja Boy’s Baby Mama Files Blueface Defamation Lawsuit Over Pre-Baby Shower Intercourse Claims

Blueface was lucky enough to avoid jail time (so far) in his Las Vegas strip club shooting case. He’s currently got close eyes on him as he serves his two-year suspended sentence. However, the 26-year-old continues to move surprisingly recklessly. Earlier this week, he and Chrisean Rock took their co-parenting problems to the internet once again. At the same time, Blue and Soulja Boy have been trading shots, with the former even pulling up on the latter and making NSFW claims about his baby mama, Jackilyn Martinez.

“I f**ked your baby mama the day before your baby shower,” the father of three told the “Crank That” rapper during their argument over who would win a Verzuz. “Till Soulja get a DNA test that’s my child lil bro I’m the daddy now… What’s old about your baby mama sucking my d**k?” Blue taunted Soulja amid their fight. According to TMZ, Martinez isn’t taking the situation so well, as she’s suing her baby daddy’s op for defamation.

While she does admit to having sex with Blueface (using protection) once in 2018, Martinez says they never hooked up after that. He reportedly received a cease and desist letter on Tuesday, but instead of complying and taking down his posts, the California native went on to taunt Soulja’s BM on Twitter. “Nobody ever said your name. I don’t even know who you are,” he wrote in response to the legal action. Since sending the memo, Martinez says death threats are coming her way, generating fear for her family’s safety.

There’s been plenty of drama brewing between Soulja Boy and Blueface this December, and so far, most of it has been documented for Instagram to see. Although many people are resolving to leave the toxic “Thotiana” rapper and his antics in 2023, others enjoy living vicariously through his drama rather than getting involved in messes of their own. If you fall in the latter category, you can read more about Blue and Soulja’s beef at the link below.

Cam’ron Might Sue Joe Budden Podcast For Defamation Over Underage Sex Work Claims

Cam’ron isn’t taking The Joe Budden Podcast‘s recent comments on him lightly at all. Moreover, for those unaware, the crew reacted to him and Ma$e’s story about having a threesome with a brothel sex worker back in the 1990s. During their discussion on that story, podcast co-host Melyssa Ford insinuated that there could’ve been underage girls at that establishment that they could’ve encountered. The rapper was obviously not happy at all, and had previously called out Ford and the podcast as a whole for making such claims. During a recent Instagram Live session on Thursday (December 7), he did not accept Ford’s apology for making those insinuations.

“First of all, I only like older b***hes,” Cam’ron expressed. “Second of all, it was 1992– we were underage! I just turned motherf***ing 16. You can’t just say s**t like that and two days later be like, ‘Oh, my bad. I wasn’t thinking.’ You damn right you wasn’t thinking! Why say that in the beginning? You not even from here! You not even from this country! I could’ve went straight to: Ice-T f***ed you in the bathroom for $2,000 when you was doing waitressing. I didn’t even go there! You used to f**k in the bathroom at the Kit Kat Club or one of them old-a** clubs. Stop, you a video vixen!

“They either threw her under the bus or they said, ‘F**k it, let’s get the ratings,’” Cam’ron continued. “I was gonna leave it alone, but then she said sorry. But the sorry wasn’t even genuine– that s**t was fake. I don’t even know who convinced her to do this s**t, but whoever did, that was smart because now if I sue n***as for defamation of character, I’m a sucker, right? Well, I might be a sucker. I don’t know yet, I’m thinking about it– pause.”

“I wake up and my man shows me QueenzFlip talking about, ‘None of you podcasters gonna hold down Melyssa Ford?’” he concluded. “Hold down for what?! Disrespect n***as some more?! How you co-signing her saying some s**t like that? Now she on a lonely hill? You co-signing bulls**t! I’m on a lonely hill, n***a! Shoutout to Joe Budden for hiring all these washed-up n***as. You could open a dry cleaning business, n***a.” For more news on Cam’ron and The Joe Budden Podcast, come back to HNHH.

Akon Will Sue Suge Knight For Defamation Amid Assault Claims, He States

Suge Knight ruffled a lot of industry feathers on his Collect Calls podcast when he accused Akon of assaulting a 13-year-old girl. Moreover, according to the Death Row boss, his producer Detail also assaulted the alleged victim’s 12-year-old sister, and these are overall horrifying claims. The 50-year-old, however, denied all of these outright, and it now looks like this will be a much more contentious case moving forward. Furthermore, in a new statement to Complex, he revealed plans to sue the music executive for defamation. As of writing this article, he hasn’t responded to this lawsuit, although we’re sure that it won’t be the prettiest situation either way.

“I need to make it very clear that I absolutely deny these outrageous false and disgusting claims Suge Knight made on his podcast about me,” Akon shared. “I never called, received [a call], or had any contact with Suge Knight since he [went to prison]. My voice you heard on his podcast was a soundbite previously recorded from an interview I did with DJ Vlad 3 years ago regarding Suge Knight in 2009. I’ve never been a guest on Suge Knight’s podcast.

“I always believe in building positivity into the world and my actions and legacy have spoken to that,” Akon continued. “It’s unfortunate that I have to defend myself from these lies and I will be involving my legal team in filing a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Knight, my prayers for him will still continue.” Previously, this is what the Senegalese-American artist had to say about these allegations on Twitter. “The world knows a lie when they hear it,” he shared. “It’s unfortunate that this man is going out like this. It’s sad and seriously embarrassing. Regardless of our history, I’m still going to be praying for him.”

Meanwhile, these accusations unfortunately don’t have the best context. After all, the “Smack That” hitmaker recently flexed about having multiple wives, and involved himself in his fair share of other controversies. The same is true for Suge, of course, but with this new legal parameter, we’ll see whether this results in accountability and justice for the alleged victims. For more news and the latest updates on Akon and Suge Knight, log back into HNHH.

Shannon Sharpe Claims Victory Over Brett Favre In Defamation Case

Shannon Sharpe is easily one of the most entertaining voices in sports commentary. Furthermore, he is someone who does not shy away from speaking his mind. Overall, this has gotten him in trouble from time to time. However, rarely does it result in legal implications. Well, that seemingly changed recently as he spoke on the allegations that Brett Favre aided in diverting funds from welfare recipients in Mississippi. Favre didn’t like his comments and launched lawsuits against Pat McAfee and Sharpe.

In the end, he settled with McAfee, and the whole thing was put to rest. However, the case against Sharpe remained ongoing. Many were curious as to how this whole thing would include. After all, Sharpe is someone who is beloved by fans. Meanwhile, Favre doesn’t have the greatest reputation among the fans these days. Well, last night, Sharpe revealed that the entire thing is over and done with. He came out victorious.

Shannon Sharpe Speaks

“The United States District Court 4 the Southern District of Mississippi 2day dismissed Brett Favre’s defamation lawsuit against me,” Sharpe wrote. “The court found the statements were protected by the 1st Amendment 2 the Constitution. Thanks 2 my legal team and their handling of this case.” Overall, this is a huge win for Sharpe. Free speech laws have come through for the First Take co-host, and now, he can breathe a bit more easily. Needless to say, Favre might be thinking twice about launching another lawsuit. Hopefully, Shannon never has to deal with any of this again.

With the Brett Favre welfare allegations still ongoing, there is no telling what will happen to him. Let us know your thoughts on this latest legal ruling, in the comments section below. Did the judge make the right choice? Was Brett Favre doing too much? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Soulja Boy Threatens Complex Media With Defamation Lawsuit

Soulja Boy has threatened to sue Complex after taking issue with the media outlet claiming that “nearly everything” the rapper owns is fake. Soulja was named in the headline of an article about celebrities reportedly caught wearing fake designer labels. “Fuck Complex and fuck Complex Music. Y’all gon post on your page talking about Soulja Boy some shit I don’t know — everything he own is fake or some shit. I’m suing y’all n-ggas [for] defamation of character, bro. I went on Complex and bought shit for y’all. How the fuck is y’all on your platform trying to discredit me. But it’s all good. It ain’t nothing but a hater whoever run that page is a muthafuckin’ hater. But you gonna get the whole Complex sued for playing with my name, n-gga.

Furthermore, Soulja continued. “I ain’t bought nothing fake in my whole life. Fuck you talking about, n-gga? Even in that picture y’all showed I was wearing a $10,000 Gucci bandana, a $40,000 Superman chain. What is y’all talking about? $50,000 right there. Complex you some hoes. Y’all do that to Black people. Notice how they didn’t have one white person on there. Somebody screen talking about, ‘Everything Soulja Boy got is fake.’ Who the fuck run this page? Who wrote that? What type of shit is you on?”

Soulja Boy’s Ex Seeks Alternate Streams Of Revenue To Pay Settlement

However, Soulja might not want to speak too loudly about his drip being legit. The rapper’s ex, Kayla Meyers, recently filed a petition seeking new revenue streams from Soulja Boy as she seeks the fulfillment of a $500,000 settlement she won against the rapper in 2020. Soulja Boy was never criminally charged on counts of assault and kidnapping. However, a civil court eventually awarded Meyers $500,000. After Soulja Boy claimed earlier this year that he did not have the assets to pay the outstanding amount, Meyer has petitioned to receive the income from his royalties, his Twitch streaming revenue, and even the profits from this weed business.

Earlier this month, Soulja Boy was ordered to surrender his three cars as well as jewelry and cash over $1000. This came after he testified that he did not have the assets to pay off his outstanding debt. According to court testimony, Soulja does not own the house he lives in and owes the IRS over $1 million. The court is yet to rule on whether these new revenue streams proposed will be accepted. However, based on this week’s precedents, it will be more than likely that they will be.
