Diddy Scrubs His Instagram Following Months Of Controversy

June 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since November, Diddy has found himself embroiled in controversy. Overall, it all started when his ex Cassie accused him of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and sex trafficking. These allegations were shocking, and they subsequently led to a settlement the very next day. However, things eventually got worse for Diddy as numerous other women came out with similar lawsuits. The allegations against Diddy began to mount, and eventually, he had his home raided.

Although we haven’t seen any ramifications from the raid, we do know that a Grand Jury has been formed. This means an indictment could be coming down the pipeline, although that is certainly not guaranteed. Recently, some footage surfaced online that shows Diddy throwing Cassie to the ground, and kicking her while she’s down. Following this footage, Diddy released a much-scrutinized apology on his Instagram. Now, that video along with every other post on the mogul’s IG page, is gone.

Diddy Is Deleting Posts

There is no telling why Diddy decided to scrub his Instagram. Overall, this is a tactic that many artists employ when they enter a new era or want to start promoting a new album. However, as it pertains to Diddy, it’s certainly a curious move. Fans are certainly going to make their assumptions. However, it is important to stand back and wait for more information. We will certainly provide you with those updates as soon as they become available.

Diddy Ordered $1M Hit On 2Pac & Suge Knight, Ex-Detective Alleges

June 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shocking allegations against Diddy only continue to surface, as the Bad Boy Records founder fights various lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and more. Recently, for example, a former LAPD detective who was involved in investigations of 2Pac and Biggie’s deaths spoke with The New York Times. The ex-detective, Greg Kading, recalled a disturbing alleged admission from Duane “Keefe D” Davis. Keefe D was arrested last year for his alleged involvement in 2Pac’s 1996 murder.

Kading claims that Keefe D accused Diddy of ordering a hit on 2Pac, as well as Suge Knight, back in 1995. He says that Keefe D recalled the mogul holding a meeting about it in a hotel room during a Summer Jam tour. Allegedly, Diddy told a room full of alleged “crips” that he wanted the duo’s “heads.”

Moreover, Kading says Keefe D also admitted to allegedly being offered $1 million by Diddy for the murders. “Man, we’ll wipe their a— out quick,” he allegedly replied. The following year, 2Pac was shot in a drive-by in Vegas, shortly after an alleged physical altercation with Keefe D’s nephew Orlando Anderson at a Mike Tyson fight. The icon succumbed to his injuries at a hospital just a few days later.

Ahead of his 2023 arrest, Keefe D wrote about his beef with 2Pac in his 2019 memoir, “Compton Street Legend.” He claimed that he had obtained a gun before searching the city for 2Pac and Knight. Eventually, he admitted to handing off the weapon to his nephew. He alleged that Anderson went on to shoot 2Pac four times, ultimately taking his life. What do you think of ex-LAPD detective Greg Kading’s account of Keefe D’s shocking alleged admission? Are you surprised by it, or not?

Roger Bonds Accuses Diddy Of Manipulating Cassie To Be In A Relationship

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy scandal has been increasingly difficult to keep up with thanks to a barrage of new claims, allegations, and accusations from many sources. Moreover, some of the most recent bombshell claims emerged from his former head of security Roger Bonds’ new interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV. One of these claims included the supposition that Sean Combs made Cassie redo her plastic surgery weeks after the procedure, along with some other allegations. In addition, Bonds accused him of manipulated her into being in a relationship with him, as he allegedly had a promoter make a fake party flier and convinced her to fly to Miami alone for it.

Furthermore, Roger Bonds also claims that Diddy and Cassie did drugs before they had their first intimate moment, and Bonds confirmed that he was under the Bad Boy mogul’s employment at the time. Apparently, Puffy gave her expensive gift after expensive gift, whether it was a Manhattan apartment close to his or a new car. In fact, Bonds alleges that even Cassie’s parents eventually fell victim to this alleged manipulation, since he sent them on trips. He also claimed that the New York entrepreneur and music executive callously controlled much of her finances and career opportunities in ways that potentially sabotaged her potential success.

Roger Bonds Claims Diddy & Cassie Relationship Was Built On Manipulation

“You can say I was disgusted with the video,” the father of Kim Porter, Diddy’s late ex, remarked about the clip of him abusing Cassie in a hotel hallway. “And I wouldn’t treat my enemy like that. It was despicable… I couldn’t believe it, I was in Vietnam, and I wouldn’t do that to my enemy. I didn’t know he could stoop that low, I imagine it surprised a lot of people.” It’s important to note that he also said that he never saw Puff Daddy be violent “to that extent” with his daughter.

Meanwhile, some Diddy-related theories now moved on to rope in other celebrities and pop culture elements instead of focusing on him. For example, an alleged industry insider suggested that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are laying low in the public eye due to their connections to him. Of course, they escaped mention in the lawsuits against Puff, so this is just speculative. But we’re sure that more famous folks will continue to speak out about this scandal in one way or another.

Howard University Revokes Diddy’s Honorary Doctorate Degree

June 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy fallout continues. The mogul’s legacy has been thoroughly dismantled over the last eight months. The footage of him attacking his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, the multiple lawsuits, and the harrowing recollections of those who worked under him have made it virtually impossible to view him in the light that fans once did. Howard University feels the same. Diddy’s alma mater decided to strip the mogul of the honorary doctorate degree they awarded him back in 2014.

Howard University’s Board of Trustees announced their decision on June 7. The board made it clear that they do not condone the crimes that Diddy has been accused of caught doing, and therefore strip him of his honorary doctorate credentials. “Mr. Combs’ behavior, as captured in a recently released video, is so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs,” the statement read. “He is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor.” The statement further stated that the man born Sean Combs will not be invited to special occasions and events held on Howard’s campus.

Diddy Is No Longer Welcome On Howard’s Campus

The board’s decision comes on the heels of a Rolling Stone expose on Diddy. It detailed some of the mogul’s previously documented allegations, but it also shed light on a violent incident that allegedly took place on Howard’s campus. Several students claimed they saw Diddy remove his belt and beat a woman he was dating at the time. The woman in question refused to answer questions, but the students recalled fearing for her life. “She would tense up [when Combs appeared],” one of them explained. “He just had a weird control thing. I felt like she was fearful.”

Diddy’s Howard pride remained throughout his career. The mogul announced plans to donate $1 million to the university after winning the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 BET Awards. He made good on his promise in 2023. “As someone who attended Howard University and values the transformative experience of historically Black colleges,” he noted in a statement. “It remains crucial that we strive to protect and uphold their legacy. The board praised his generosity, and cited him as a role model for students. What a difference a year makes.

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.

Diddy Faces New Accusations From Alleged Former Employees

“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.”

Diddy’s Friends Knew Of His Alleged Abuse “All Along,” Boosie Badazz Theorizes

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Diddy’s been subject to a tremendous amount of scrutiny since his ex-girlfriend sued him last year, accusing him of rape, abuse, and more. They settled shortly after she filed, though he was later hit with several similar lawsuits from other women. Things reached a new height in May when CNN obtained footage of the mogul physically assaulting Cassie at a hotel back in 2016. He’s since apologized, which didn’t do much to save his reputation. The footage corroborated some of the allegations Cassie made against Diddy and was enough to prompt explosive reactions from countless social media users and peers.

During a recent interview with VladTV, Boosie Badazz shared his take on the debacle, questioning why more of Diddy’s friends aren’t supporting him at this point. According to him, it’s likely that his friends knew of the alleged abuse long before the footage went public.

Boosie Claims He’d Still Be Friends With Diddy Despite Alleged Cassie Abuse

“I feel like his friends, they knew all along,” Boosie said. He went on to explain that he was raised to stand by his friends no matter what, and to stay out of others’ business despite how serious it may be. “How I was raised, if you beat your b***h that’s your problem,” he described. “It never made me say ‘You’re not my friend anymore.’ That’s what I stand on. I always stand on wrong or wrong right or right, you’re my friend. And I probably was raised a f*cked up way.” He continued, agreeing with DJ Vlad’s claim that compartmentalizes his relationships.

What do you think of Boosie Badazz’s theory that Diddy’s friends knew of his alleged abuse long before the footage? What about him claiming that he would support Diddy regardless if they were friends? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Diddy Gets A Small Win In Assault Lawsuit Amid Other Cases

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy may have a lot of legal issues on his plate amid various accusations of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking, but there are still dubs here and there for him per AllHipHop. Moreover, there’s a new development in the assault lawsuit against him from Joi Dickerson-Neal, who claims that he assaulted her in 1991. Specifically, the court dismissed both Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings and Combs Enterprises from the case, per a new stipulation that called for the withdrawal of these companies from this suit. Apparently, both parties reached a mutual agreement and follows a motion to dismiss from Sean Combs’ legal team on April 26.

Furthermore, the reasoning behind this dismissal is reportedly that Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings and Combs Enterprises didn’t exist when the alleged assault occurred in this case. Dickerson-Neal submitted an amendment to her complaint that removed all charges against these companies, signed off by her lawyers and a judge earlier in the week. Diddy is now the sole defendant in this case, and must answer to this amended complaint by June 21 of this year. On the other hand, Dickerson-Neal has until July 19 to file any opposition, and he can respond in support of his motion by August 2.

Diddy Performs At The 2023 MTV VMAs

Regardless of these stipulations, this is still an active and unresolved case based in allegations that Diddy non-consensually drugged and assaulted Dickerson-Neal in 1991 when she was a student at Syracuse University. He has denied any and all alleged wrongdoing brought forth by this lawsuit and others. The Bad Boy mogul’s legal team argues that some claims concerning sex trafficking and non-consensual filming emerged under laws that did not exist when the alleged incidents occurred. These allegations, in addition to all others, are represented by around seven lawsuits against him at press time.

However, there’s a chance that these allegations could become criminal charges, as a grand jury is reportedly probing Diddy’s actions. Given the recent video of him assaulting Cassie, there might be far more scrutiny and attention to detail with these suits now. This could either work in the New York native’s favor or against him, but either way, it’s a horrible look for his public image. We’ll see what else develops to push this scandal forward.

50 Cent Agrees With Biggie’s Mother, Wants To “Slap” Diddy Too

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Unsurprisingly, the disturbing footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel has sparked countless big reactions since it surfaced online earlier this month. Most agree that it’ll be tough, if at all possible, for the Bad Boy Records founder to bounce back reputationally. He apologized for his behavior as it went viral on social media, though it did little to quiet the explosive backlash.

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the mother of another major force in hip-hop shared her take on the debacle, The Notorious B.I.G.’s mother Voletta Wallace. According to her, seeing it has drastically changed her perception of the mogul, who she admits she once liked. Now, however, she believes he owes a major apology to both Cassie and his own mother, Janice Combs.

“I’m sick to my stomach,” she told the outlet, “I’m praying for Cassie. I’m praying for his mother. I don’t want to believe the things that I’ve heard, but I’ve seen [the hotel video]. I pray that he apologizes to her.” Wallace continued, revealing that she has plans for Diddy the next time she sees him in person. “I hope that I see Sean one day and the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him. And you can quote me on that,” she said. “Because I liked him. I didn’t want to believe all the awful things, but I’m so ashamed and embarrassed.”

Now, 50 Cent has shared his reaction to Wallace’s comments, and expectedly, he feels exactly the same way. “LOL,” he captioned a screenshot of an article about her claims today. “I WANT TO SLAP HIM TOO.” What do you think of 50 Cent’s reaction to The Notorious B.I.G.’s mother, Voletta Wallace, admitting that she wants to “slap” Diddy?

Diddy Recruits Alleged Russian Spy’s Former Lawyer To Fight Sexual Assault Lawsuit

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s ongoing legal issues only continue to heat up, as he’s currently facing several lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and more. The allegations have come from at least eight different individuals, including former Syracuse University student Joi Dickerson-Neal. She alleges that the Bad Boy Records founder drugged and raped her in 1991, which he denies. She also accuses him of participating in revenge porn by sharing explicit footage of her with his associates in the music industry. Per her lawsuit, this was detrimental to both her mental health and reputation.

“These are civil suits with fabricated claims of misconduct from 30 years ago, which are nothing but a blatant money grab,” a spokesperson for the mogul told TMZ in November. “Mr. Combs is being unfairly targeted by anonymous accusers who lie for financial gain. The New York Legislature never intended the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited.” Regardless, the lawsuits appear to keep coming, with the latest being filed as recently as last week.

Now, as he prepares to battle it out in court over Dickerson-Neal’s lawsuit, he’s hired some new legal representation. According to legal documents obtained by AllHipHop earlier this week, lawyer Michael Tremonte of Sher Tremonte LLP will handle the case, which is in its early stages. Tremonte has previously represented some notable clients, including Rinat Akhmetshin. Akhmetshin is a Russian-American lobbyist who sued William Browder for allegedly defaming him as a Russian spy.

Boosie Badazz Reacts To Yung Miami’s Wild Diddy Golden Shower Claims

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Yung Miami’s outspoken and unfiltered demeanor has a lot to do with her success, but evidently, it’s also earned her plenty of criticism. Occasionally, the City Girl will share something with fans that they think crossed the line. This is exactly what happened on a past episode of Caresha Please, in which Yung Miami opened up about some of her more shocking sexual preferences.

At the time, Yung Miami claimed that she was a fan of “golden showers,” leaving many viewers taken aback and disturbed. She’s since retracted the admission, however, admitting this week that it was simply an attempt to promote Resha Roulette. “A n***a NEVER EVER PEE’D on me! I did that to promote my card game [dollar sign eyes and tongue face emoji] & it did exactly what I needed to do!!” she wrote.

Boosie Badazz Is Not Here For Golden Showers

Unfortunately for Yung Miami, this did little to quell the backlash, as critics simply went on to slam her for saying something like that for attention. Many also speculated that she was just backtracking due to her potentially former fling Diddy’s current legal issues. Boosie Badazz shared his take on the debacle during a recent interview with VladTV, revealing that while he supports people’s rights to do whatever they want in the bedroom, he simply can’t get behind golden showers.

“When she said she liked to get peed on, that’s just…I don’t have no… I mean, I just don’t like how pee smell. I’m from the hood,” he explained. “I know it’s in the act of sex, but ain’t no piss coming around my sexual.” What do you think of Boosie Badazz’s take on Yung Miami’s now-debunked claims about her sexual preferences? Do you agree with him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
