Diddy & Cassie Footage Is “Disturbing,” Los Angeles D.A. Remarks In Statement

May 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy is in hotter waters than ever on the Internet thanks to an alleged video of him supposedly assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. Moreover, this clip is quite the disturbing one, and spread virally online due to the scandalous nature of his numerous sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations, whose claims also include more abhorrent behavior. However, it seems like this might not result in the immediate legal action that some users probably expected. Furthermore, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office issued a statement on Friday (May 17) on the matter, explaining the situation.

“We are aware of the video that has been circulating online allegedly depicting Sean Combs assaulting a young woman in Los Angeles,” the L.A. D.A.’s Office remarked of Diddy. “We find the images extremely disturbing and difficult to watch. If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted. As of today, law enforcement has not presented a case related to the attack depicted in the video against Mr. Combs, but we encourage anyone who has been a victim or witness to a crime to report it to law enforcement or reach out to our office for support from our Bureau of Victims Services.”

As such, it seems like -– at least, in this legal capacity -– there will be no immediate repercussion or pressed charges against Diddy. Of course, that could change quickly, especially if Cassie’s lawsuit within the statute of limitations also included a police report. But that’s an unclear detail, and it failed to change any sort of indignant reception or reaction to this alleged footage. Folks are going quite wild over it online, and for good reason given its intensity.

Meanwhile, there are other celebrities and pop culture figures that chimed into the debacle to either defend Cassie or protect Diddy. But this alleged video definitely ruined him in many’s eyes after what was already a staggeringly disturbing process for most. We’ll see what else comes of it in the near future, if anything at all. Hopefully whatever we see next outlines a clear path of action, and for the alleged victims’ sake, folks can get to the bottom of the truth as soon as possible.

Candace Owens Supports Kanye West Theory About Protecting Diddy

May 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We struggle to think of three more controversial celebrities in 2024. Candace Owens crediting Kanye West for a conspiracy theory he had about Diddy. It’s a long walk, admittedly, but one the public was forced to take when security footage showed Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016. The footage shocked the public, and Owens, like every other celebrity on the planet, released a statement criticizing Diddy. She couldn’t do so, however, without citing a bold claim that West previously made about the Bad Boy mogul.

Owens reposted the footage of the Cassie assault on her X (formerly Twitter) timeline. She then stated that the reason Diddy has been allowed to run amok for so long is because he’s protected by the federal agencies within the U.S. “He’s not in jail because he’s a FED/CIA asset,” Owens tweeted. “Kanye tried to tell everyone.” The claim Owens made about Kanye West trying to “tell everyone” stems from an IG post the rapper made in 2021. He posted a screenshot of a text chain in which Diddy asked for his address. “N**ga f*ck you,” he responded. “You Fed.”

This is not the only time West has accused Diddy of shady behavior. During a 2022 appearance on the podcast Drink Champs, the rapper suggested that Diddy was untrustworthy. He also accused the mogul of making deals with federal agencies to keep himself out of trouble. “The reason why you gotta talk is because you did a deal, you f*cking fed,” he told the hosts.

Kanye West then alluded to a situation in which he felt Diddy was trying to entrap him to get him in legal trouble. “That’s why you’ve gotta come at me, because part of the deal for you to be able to do all that and get out of jail is that you promised that you are gonna go pull my card,” he claimed. Diddy attended West’s Rolling Loud performance in March, but the latter avoided interacting with him. According to TMZ the rapper “had no interest” in talking to or being seen with Diddy. West’s instincts proved correct, even if his theory has yet to be proven.

Slim Thug Apologizes To Cassie For Publicly Defended Diddy

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Slim Thug made headlines for the wrong reason in November 2023. The veteran rapper posted a video to his Instagram in which he cast doubt on the accusations against Diddy. He theorized Cassie, who had just filed a lawsuit against the music mogul, was doing so without having legitimate grips. The internet criticized Thug, and felt like he was being insensitive to the victim of someone who had already been overpowered by Diddy’s connections.

Slim Thug went as far as to compare Diddy to Bill Cosby, in terms of innocence. The comparison is not flattering, but the rapper ran with it. “Bill Cosby is not guilty of all that sh*t,” he wrote in his post. “They were getting high with him. Having fun with him, turning up with him. When they went broke, they tryna do all this extra sh*t.” Cassie was somebody that Thug put in the “extra sh*t” camp. Thug doubled down on his statements when the critiques filled his comment section, but he has since changed his tune. The footage that was released on May 17 changed his mind, along with the rest of the world.

Slim Thug Admitted To Being On “Wrong Side” Of Time

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

The footage, which was aired on CNN, shows Diddy violently assaulting Cassie as she waits for a hotel elevator. It’s highly disturbing, and serves as proof for all of the claims that the singer previously made against Diddy.

The footage was so damning that Slim Thug felt the need to issue an apology to Cassie via Instagram. “Damn Diddy I tried to ride with the Blk man who had no charges yet but I can’t stand behind this,” he explained. “I’ll take this L. But I still will ride with my ppl until I see some sort of proof I don’t believe in blogs or civil suits.” The rapper then addressed Cassie directly. “Apologies to Cassie and whoever else was on the right side this time,” he added.

Slim Thug’s opinion of Diddy has understandably shifted after seeing the CNN footage. Thug previously criticized those who were championing Diddy’s downfall. “He thought that we would ride or die for him. He thought that the world of Hip-Hop would stay down,” the rapper posited back in March. “This dude is on the list of the worst people in the world right now without no criminal charges.” We at least have to give it to Slim Thug for admitting he was wrong in this instance.

Perez Hilton Claims Diddy Paid Hotel $50K To Withhold Assault Footage

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The revelations keep rolling in. The May 17 news cycle has been dominated by the CNN video of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. The music mogul punches and kicks the singer is security footage that dates back to March 2016. Some fans are relieved that damning evidence against Diddy has finally been released, while others have questioned why it took nearly a decade to see the light of day. Perez Hilton claims to have information on this very valid question.

Hilton got on Instagram Live to address the Diddy footage, and shed light on why the public had never seen it before. “According to Cassie,” the celebrity blogger stated. “In the lawsuit that she filed last year against Diddy, she claims that Diddy paid the hotel to get that footage. He gave them $50K and problem solved. He was in possession of that footage.” Perez Hilton stated that the footage was confiscated by the government during the raid on Diddy’s homes in March 2024. It then made its way to CNN.

“What I believe happened was, in the recent raid of Diddy’s multiple properties, the government came into possession of that and somebody there leaked it,” Hilton added. The blogger went on to attack the people who helped to cover up Diddy’s crime. “Everybody at that hotel in Los Angeles should be held criminally responsible for this,” he asserted. “They had an obligation to report a crime and they didn’t. Shame on them.”

IHG Hotels, the chain Diddy and Cassie were staying at during the altercation, issued a statement. They told People Magazine that were not aware of what transpired with the Los Angeles staff. “This hotel is no longer under IHG management,” the statement read. “And we do not have any access to prior incident records or footage.”

Cassie’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, also spoke to the outlet. He praised his client’s courage, and hoped it would lead to her seeing justice served. “Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light,” he noted.

Stephen A Smith Claims Diddy’s Career Is Over After Assault Footage

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy bombshell has taken over popular culture. Celebrities are coming out of the woodwork to voice their disgust over the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. Other executives like Wack 100 have warned Diddy that he’s going to get what’s coming to him. Artists who worked under the Bad Boy mogul, like Aubrey O’Day, suggest that there are more horror stories to be revealed. Then there are the Stephen A Smiths of the world, who plainly state that Diddy’s career is done for.

Stephen A Smith addressed the Diddy footage on the May 17 taping of his show. He did not mince words. As far as he’s concerned, it’s a wrap. “I declare, right here,” he explained. “Over these digital airwaves of YouTube, that the career of Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs, as we know it, it’s over.” Smith believes that the new footage that has surfaced is so damning that no amount of rehabilitation or rebranding can bring Diddy back. “This sh*t is over,” he elaborated. “It’s over in the worst possible way… One of the worst possible ways you can imagine.”

Stephen A Smith Compared Diddy To NFL Star Ray Rice

Stephen A Smith recounted the footage that was exclusively obtained by CNN, and the public outcry that has resulted. He then compared Diddy to the harrowing case of NFL star Ray Rice. “Remember Ray Rice? Remember what happened,” he asked the viewers. “Late 2014 when his girl was in the elevator and she either shoved him or hit him and then he check-left-hooked her? And hit her, and knocked her face into the bar inside the elevator? She hit her head to it and then she laid on the floor, unconscious? In the elevator, straight up, knocked out.” Smith then asserted that the Diddy footage is “worse.”

Smith’s opinion walks back previous comments he made about Diddy. During a March interview, the sports commentator claimed that Diddy would have an easier time mounting a comeback than Kanye West, who had been disgraced over numerous antisemitic remarks. He did, however, note that he did not have all the facts on the Diddy allegations. “If they charge him with something,” he qualified. “We can’t think like that. That’s a different ballgame.” Well, due to the footage, it is now a different ballgame.

Aubrey O’Day Claims To Have More Diddy Stories After Footage Surfaces

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The remains of Diddy’s public goodwill crumbled on May 17. Footage was released by CNN that showed the mogul beating up his former girlfriend, Cassie, in a hallway. There’s been a tidal wave of backlash as a result, with artists denouncing Diddy or reaffirming their dislike of the disgraced Bad Boy founder. Aubrey O’Day falls under the latter. The former Danity Kane singer took to social media to voice her support for Cassie, and to assure the public that the footage does not surprise her one bit.

O’Day made her stance against Diddy clear on X (formerly Twitter). She assured her followers that she her heart goes out to Cassie. She also noted that she has yet to fully divulge what she has witnessed with regards to Diddy’s behavior. “The picture is getting a lot more clear for you all I can imagine,” she wrote. “I’ll remind you that i haven’t spoken on my personal experience yet either. Prayers up for all his victims.”

Aubrey O’Day Hasn’t Discussed Her Diddy Experience Yet

Aubrey O’Day by no means wanted to take away from the case at hand. When one user voiced regret over not believing the singer’s claims earlier, O’Day reassured them. “Let’s focus on changing the system now,” she stated. “So no one has enough power to bury or discredit voices.” She went on to like tweets from other fans that supported these perspective. One of the liked tweets read: “I can only imagine what Danity Kane and all the girls and men went through in Making The Band. Thoughts and prayers to you love.”

O’Day has spent years attempting to expose Diddy. She worked closely with the mogul when she was in the group Danity Kane, and made it clear that he was a terror behind closed doors. In the TMZ film TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy, O’Day claimed that she was given a chance to buy her publishing back in exchange for her public silence. “It asked me specifically to stay silent and never speak poorly about a human,” she revealed. “So then I realized, something really bad is coming.” Well, Aubrey O’Day’ instincts proved to be spot on. Something really bad is here.

Wack 100 Obliterates Diddy After Disturbing Footage Surfaces

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy footage that surfaced on May 17 shocked the music world. The footage in question sees Diddy physically attack Cassie in a hotel hallway. Whatever uncertainty people had about Diddy’s guilt in relation to the accusations that have been leveled, it has been squashed. Wack 100 is a music executive who has been in the industry almost almost as long as Diddy, and he didn’t mince any words when it came to his public reaction. He was horrified by what he saw.

Wack 100, real name Cash Jones, took to Instagram Live to air out his thoughts. “Diddy,” he says to the camera. “I just seen that video. You’s a b*tch a*s n**ga. And I hope, if whatever happens to you happens to you, I hope Big Freddy and Deebo Eddie strap your a*s down. And I hope nobody come help your a*s.” It’s an absolutely withering thing to say about someone publicly, but given the footage of Diddy, it’s easy to see why Wack 100 is so upset. “It’s going down,” he assured the mogul. “You did this.”

Wack 100 Hopes Bad Things Happen To Diddy

This is not the first time Wack 100 has put Diddy on blast. He recently blew up the mogul’s spot on the Jason Lee Show. Wack 100 claimed that Diddy was bisexual and had relationships with several men in the industry, including Meek Mill. He attacked Diddy and Meek relentlessly over the past few months, leaving comments on both of their social media accounts. When Diddy’s house got raided in March, the music executive tweeted: “For Meek Mill’s sake I hope Diddy no Diddy got rid of those photos & tapes.”

He also theorized that Cassie’s lawsuit was an attempt at extortion, which has not aged well given the recent footage. Wack 100 thought the singer may have been trying to leverage her knowledge about Diddy’s sexual habits for $30 million, but it appears Wack 100 has changed his tune on the matter. He now believes Cassie, and as one can tell from the IG Live, is hoping that Diddy eventually gets what’s coming his way.

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kola Boof, born Naima Bint Harith in Omdurman, Sudan, is a multifaceted personality—an author, poet, and activist—who has made headlines for both her literary work and her outspoken nature. Known for her bold and unfiltered opinions, Boof has found herself at the center of various controversies. Most recently, this includes her recent remarks involving Sean “Diddy” Combs and the late Kim Porter.

Early Life & Background

Boof’s early life was marked by tragedy and upheaval. Born in 1969 to Egyptian and Sudanese parents, her father, Harith Bin Farouk, was a prominent Egyptian archaeologist, and her mother, Jiddi, was a Sudanese royal. At the age of eight, Boof witnessed the assassination of her parents, an event that profoundly shaped her life and writing. Orphaned, she was adopted by an African-American family and eventually relocated to the United States. It was in the U.S. where she would begin to forge her path as a writer.

Literary Career

Kola Boof’s career as a writer began in earnest in the early 2000s. Her works often explore themes of race, identity, and feminism, drawing from her personal experiences and rich cultural heritage. One of her most notable books is Diary Of A Lost Girl. The autobiography provides a raw and unflinching look at her tumultuous life. Moreover, the book delves into her experiences with racism, her struggle with identity, and her journey towards self-acceptance.

In addition to her autobiography, Boof has penned several novels and collections of poetry, including The Sexy Part Of The Bible and Nile River Woman. Her writing is known for its vivid storytelling and unapologetic portrayal of African womanhood. These particular attributes made her a distinctive voice in contemporary literature.

Connection To Kim Porter & Diddy

What ya’ll saw in that video of Diddy beating Cassie was NOTHING.

Will never forget the time he tried to make Kim Porter lick Cassie’s tampon. Always using Kim’s race as a put down.

You guys don’t know the HALF of what women go through with famous & powerful men. Be they…

— WRITER KOLA BOOF (@KolaBoof3) May 17, 2024

NO.

BE CLEAR …. I only met Kim Porter once at a charity event. We had dinner.

But we chatted on the telephone a few times and I believe everything that Kim told me.

I have never forgotten. One time she was on the phone crying because she loved him so much & couldn’t bring…

— WRITER KOLA BOOF (@KolaBoof3) May 17, 2024

In recent times, Boof has been in the news for her comments regarding Sean “Diddy” Combs and the late Kim Porter. Boof, who said that she only met Porter once at a charity event and kept in contact in the following years, has piled onto the allegations against the music mogul. Following Porter’s untimely death in 2018, Boof took to social media to express her grief and to criticize Diddy, alleging mistreatment of Porter. Her posts suggested that Diddy was responsible for much of the emotional turmoil Porter faced, a claim that has sparked debate and discussion among fans and the media.

After the alleged footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie, Boof said that the Bad Boy founder also assaulted Porter. This mirrored similar claims made by Mark Curry. “What y’all saw in that video of Diddy beating Cassie was nothing. Will never forget the time he tried to make Kim Porter lick Cassie’s tampon. Always using Kim’s race as a put down,” she wrote. She later alleged that Diddy held some sort of responsibility for Kim Porter’s death. Furthermore, she suggested that the former model’s cause of death wasn’t accurately reported.

Controversies & Outspoken Nature

Kola Boof is no stranger to controversy. Her unfiltered opinions and bold statements have often placed her in the media spotlight. Her outspoken nature extends to her social media presence, where she frequently addresses issues of race, gender, and politics. Despite the backlash, Boof continues to speak her mind, undeterred by the criticism.

One of the most sensational and controversial aspects of Kola Boof’s life story is her claimed association with Osama bin Laden. Boof has stated that she was held against her will as a mistress by the infamous terrorist leader in the late 1990s. According to her accounts, detailed in her autobiography and various interviews, she was forced to live with bin Laden in Morocco. However, these allegations have been layered with complexities that have been met with both skepticism and intrigue.

Conclusion

Despite the controversies, Boof’s literary achievements are significant. She has received critical acclaim for her work. Similarly, her books have been praised for their emotional depth and cultural insights. The Sexy Part of the Bible, for example, is celebrated for its exploration of African spirituality and female empowerment. Boof’s poetry has also been featured in numerous anthologies, cementing her status as a powerful voice in modern literature.

King Combs Returns To Instagram After 50 Cent Diss & Amid New Diddy & Cassie Footage

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

King Combs returned to Instagram with a “Seen it all” photo dump after launching a diss track against 50 Cent, who’s been the number one troll against his father Diddy amid his various allegations and lawsuits. Moreover, the fallout from that song is still ongoing, with plenty of big and small creators online joking about it, celebrities chiming in, and some deeper discussion on the nature of this dynamic. It’s not a pretty picture, but one that shows how a massive scandal like this really trickles down in the media and entertainment industry. While Combs’ new IG post aims to appear unbothered, the comments section don’t leave much room for that.

“Damn the video footage out now time to diss CNN,” one commenter wrote under King Combs’ post below, referencing newly emerged alleged footage in which Diddy supposedly assaults Cassie in a hotel hallway. It actually lines up with her recounting of events in her since-settled lawsuit against Sean Combs, if the dates and location claimed in the clip actually line up with the filing. It’s very disturbing footage that shouldn’t be taken lightly, although the legal claims against the Bad Boy mogul remain just that: claims. However, the response to this post alone shows how this video will likely make it harder for the Combs family to ignore the elephant in the room.

Still, there are some who came forward to defend King Combs, including Meek Mill. “Ebro would say it in person or via anything that’s how we built respect,” he tweeted recently. “Without no violence or shouting bro it’s not aggressive … Basically saying mind my while minding business.. 50 just post my son a week ago that day I felt like saying something.”

Meanwhile, 50 Cent will likely not respond to King Combs’ diss track, as he’s too busy trolling him outright online and mocking the attempt. It’s unclear where else this will go or what other shape it could take, but hopefully things stay either fully online or in the courtroom. Far too many alleged victims, alleged perpetrators, and affiliated groups are at risk with these horrible allegations. It’s only a matter of time before folks start getting some more concrete answers.

Kim Porter’s Alleged Friend Accuses Diddy Of Abusing Her After Cassie Footage Surfaces

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After new alleged footage surfaced of Diddy supposedly assaulting Cassie in a hotel room, one of his ex Kim Porter’s alleged friends spoke out. However, it’s important to note how Egyptian-Sudanese writer Kola Boof explained her relationship with Porter: they apparently had dinner once and spoke on the phone a couple of times. As such, take this with a grain of salt. “This DIDDY thing is not a surprise, but it makes me remember the horrible way he treated my friend… KIM PORTER,” Boof tweeted on Friday (May 17). “…and how I’ve always silently held him responsible for her young death. #RIP KIM. Diddy was a motherf***er. Ya’ll would not even BEGIN to believe the way he treated KIM PORTER — and (ironically) CASSIE back then allowed herself to be used to disrespect Kim in her own home.

“Cassie let herself be flaunted in Kim’s face–LAUGHED at Diddy beating Kim,” Boof claimed. “Was awful. I feel bad for CASSIE getting beat up like that. But I still remember when CASSIE allowed herself to be used ‘Racially’ against KIM PORTER as Diddy humiliated, beat & repeat Kim for years. Ya’ll have always hated me for talking ‘Real’ about these men. But they deserve it. What ya’ll saw in that video of Diddy beating Cassie was NOTHING. Will never forget the time he tried to make Kim Porter lick Cassie’s tampon. Always using Kim’s race as a put down. You guys don’t know the HALF of what women go through with famous & powerful men. Be they rappers, be they Bin Laden, be they actors — ya’ll have NO IDEA. And you always demonized the women. Always! Are you f***ing kidding me??? He beat the s**t out of Kim Porter!!!

“Why do ya’ll think I was so hard on these damn men back in the day — always cussing them out?” Boof alleged. “I wrote article attacking DIDDY. Ya’ll always thought I was lying?? OMG! OMG! There is no hope for women in our communities. One time — 4 in the morning– Diddy brought Cassie (who was basically a teenager) into his bedroom where KIM PORTER was sleeping & woke up Kim & told her to get out of the bed so Cassie can get in it. Kim was treated like s**t for years & Cassie giggled about it until SHE became Kim later on. NOTE: This is what Kim Porter told me in a telephone conversation MANY YEARS ago. And I don’t believe she was lying. KNOW WHAT– Let’s break this up now.

“Because I CAN’T WITH AMERICANS,” Boof accused. “I can’t talk to ya’ll — Honestly. I don’t give a f**k what you Americans believe. I’m SO SICK of telling you what’s going on (or went on) in Hollywood and you acting like I’m speaking Yiddish. NO. BE CLEAR …. I only met Kim Porter once at a charity event. We had dinner. But we chatted on the telephone a few times and I believe everything that Kim told me. I have never forgotten. One time she was on the phone crying because she loved him so much & couldn’t bring self to leave him. KNOW WHAT… Don’t talk to Americans. Don’t try to tell them anything.
