Diddy Allegedly Assaults Cassie In New Footage From Hotel Security Camera

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

New hotel security camera footage from Los Angeles in March of 2016 (reportedly and exclusively obtained by CNN) allegedly shows Diddy assaulting Cassie, lending supposed truth to her since-settled lawsuit against him. It’s important to note that the accusations against him remain speculative and still have yet to fully meet a court of law to determine their veracity. We will not link the video itself in this article, but if you are curious enough to find it in the “Via” link below, proceed with caution as it displays disturbing images. Whether this clip is accurate or not, it seems to parallel some of the narratives that Cassie put forth in her lawsuit.

For one, Diddy is seen striking Cassie in the head in front of the hotel elevator, kicking her twice, taking her possessions back to the hotel room, and then returning to Cassie in the hallway to shove her and launch an item at her, which seems to be a vase. While his representatives have not yet commented on this video, and join him in the staunch denial of any and all allegations, Cassie’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor issued a statement via email. “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Furthermore, this alleged video seems to be a partial recording of a March 2016 incident that Cassie referred to in her lawsuit against Diddy. In the filing, she claims that it took place at the InterContinental Hotel in Center City, Los Angeles, and that he gave her a black eye while he was intoxicated. CNN was reportedly able to confirm that this alleged clip shows the same interior design as publicly available pictures of the former hotel. While the Bad Boy mogul allegedly returned Cassie’s items to the hotel room while wearing a bath towel and socks, she made a call on a hotel phone, which is when he threw what seems like a vase at her.

With all this in mind, it’s anyone’s guess as to how this could impact the pace, public visibility, or charges when it comes to Diddy’s controversies. While he settled this lawsuit with Cassie, various other legal filings emerged against him. This has been a whirlwind of a story, and this alleged proof might only exacerbate its depth and severity. For more developments and updates, come back to HNHH.

Russell Simmons Calls Out Diddy’s Peers For Hypocrisy & “Nasty” Memes

May 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been an undoubtedly tough few months for Diddy, who’s currently at the center of a federal sex trafficking investigation. News of the investigation arrived after the Bad Boy Records founder was hit with multiple lawsuits. The suits included countless damning allegations of sexual assault, abuse, and more.

Of course, the debacle has left onlookers split. While many are reveling in the mogul’s “downfall,” others are siding with him, arguing that it’s inappropriate to root for his demise. Russell Simmons is one of them. Recently, he called out all of the “hypocrisy” he’s witnessed first-hand amid the controversy surrounding Diddy these days.

Russell Simmons Urges Fans To Focus On The Positive

During a recent chat with fans on Instagram Live, the Def Jam co-founder weighed in, urging viewers to focus on the positive instead of the negative. “I know it’s fun to watch for some people. If I had a nickel for every nasty meme sent to me from people whose lives were enhanced and built by Sean Combs I think it’s a bit hypocritical when the only reason you have a life is because you worked for him or he gave you a job or lifted you up somehow,” he explained.

“Watching our brothers fall is hurtful,” he also added. “And everybody get together and laugh at our brothers fall or supporting the tearing down of our brothers. You know it’s tough. We may think it’s entertaining. Some of the memes are funny, but we have to look up and train our minds to see the good in things and not the negative.” What do you think of Russell Simmons sharing his take on being sent memes about Diddy?

Anuel AA Compares Bad Bunny & Kendall Jenner To Diddy & Cassie On New Track “Toki”

May 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in December of last year, it was reported that Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner decided to go their separate ways after almost a year of dating. Throughout their relationship, they kept a pretty low profile, though they did end up starring in a Gucci campaign together a few months before their split. While they didn’t share many details of the breakup, sources claimed that neither of them were ready for anything too long-term when they got together.

“They have cr*zy busy schedules and know they’re still young and have a lot more to experience individually before settling down,” a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “They still want the best for one another. Kendall’s family still thinks highly of him. They just want her to be with whoever makes her happy, treats her with love and respect, and someone that understands and can handle the attention that comes along with dating her with poise and grace.”

Anuel AA Takes Aim At Bad Bunny

One of Bad Bunny’s longtime foes, Anuel AA, seems to disagree. Earlier this week, he dropped off his new song “Toki” alongside Casper Magico, Luar La L, and Izaak. On it, he takes aim at his fellow Puerto Rican performer, claiming that Kendall broke up with him for the same reason Cassie split from Diddy. For those who don’t recall, Cassie sued Diddy for alleged sexual assault, physical abuse, and more in November of last year. They settled shortly after she filed, though Diddy and his team insist this was not an admission of guilt.

What do you think of Anuel AA dissing Bad Bunny on his new track “Toki” with Casper Magico, Luar La L, and Izaak? What about him alleging that Kendall left him for the same reason Cassie left Diddy? Did he go too far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Diddy’s Lawyers Reportedly Plan On Bringing Up Rodney Jones’ Alleged Criminal History

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to new unconfirmed reports, Diddy’s legal team is taking new measures to combat the claims made by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against him. Moreover, for those unaware, Jones accused him of sexual assault and sex trafficking, explosive claims similar to others that came forward. However, these are only allegations and all of the accusations put forth have been unconfirmed by a court of law at press time and the validity of any evidence is also unconfirmed. This new report from the Daily Mail suggests that Sean Combs’ lawyers, in addition to denying all of Lil Rod’s claims in tandem with Combs standing by his claims of innocence, are supposedly pointing to Rod’s alleged criminal history.

Furthermore, the outlet reports that Diddy’s legal representation is allegedly pointing to a reckless homicide conviction that Rodney Jones received back in 2003. In addition, defense lawyers in this specific case are apparently alleging that Rod also faced multiple assault charges that eventually resulted in dismissal. Tyrone Blackburn, Jones’ attorney and a staunch proponent that Puff will be indicted soon, responded to these allegations via a Page Six statement. In it, he claims that this is merely an attempt from the defense team to distract from supposedly harsher upcoming consequences, and that Rod pleaded guilty to this because he didn’t have proper legal representation.

“I am sure you know that a charge is not a conviction,” Blackburn said of Diddy’s team’s claims. “So, running this story on behalf of [Diddy’s camp] is problematic and calls into question your integrity as a journalist. Mr. Jones’ July 2003 reckless homicide occurred when he was 17 years old. He was driving a vehicle with his cousin in the passenger seat. The police pulled him over, but he was afraid and drove off. It was pretty typical behavior for a young black boy in Chicago when pulled over by the police. As a result, he totaled the vehicle, and his cousin, who was his best friend, died.

“He has to live with the guilt of the death of his best friend and family member for the rest of his life,” he continued. “But don’t let that stop you from running this story and getting your clicks. [Diddy’s] legal team can do nothing to distract from the fact that he will be indicted soon.” One of the Bad Boy mogul’s attorney’s previously claimed to TMZ that Lil Rod is “a liar who filed a $30 billion lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday” along with the team’s other denials of any and all wrongdoing. It’s also important to note that Blackburn received criticism in the past for supposedly questionable litigation tactics. For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, keep checking in with HNHH.

Benzino Had This To Say About The Sexual Orientation Rumors Swirling Around Diddy & Meek Mill

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Benzino’s place in hip-hop is an interesting one to say the least. If you ask a majority of people that follow the genre, the reviews may not be glowing. The Source magazine co-founder from Boston, Massachusetts is probably mostly known for his never-ending saga with legendary Detroit rapper Eminem, and it is probably why he gets so much hate. A lot of fans respect Em’s stature in rap and if you try to tear him down, you are going get to get backlash for it. But Ben is seemingly earning some respect as of late over a recent interview clip.

In his appearance on the We In Miami Podcast, the rapper and businessman was asked about the fury of rumors surrounding Meek Mill and Diddy. Of course, the host is referring to the speculation that these two were sexually involved with one another. Unlike 50 Cent, Benzino had no jokes to make. Instead, he showed great compassion for them during his impassioned response.

Benzino Shows Compassion For Diddy & Meek Mill

“It’s none of our f***ing business if [Diddy] and Meek Mill are f***ing or not f***ing,” Benzino said. “The internet makes all our business everybody’s business. At least the privacy of what we’re doing in our bedroom should be private.” The interviewer interjected, saying that Meek is painted as a “real street n****,” but Benzino believes that does not matter one bit. “That’s a different narrative because real street n****s can be gay. Like we again we gotta be adults and we gotta look at this for what it is.” He continued, “You can’t have a personal opinion on who a n**** f***s unless you are in the room with them.”

What are your thoughts on the opinion that Benzino has about Meek Mill and Diddy’s situation? Were you surprised he had this positive of a response to the question, why or why not? Do you agree with the fans speculation that he is “a gay man defending another gay man?” We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Benzino, Meek Mill, and Diddy. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Donald Trump Jr Speaks To DJ Akademiks About Diddy Case & Kim Porter’s Proximity

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks recently engaged in one of his most bizarre interviews yet: a cigar-smoking sit-down with none other than Donald Trump… Jr. Moreover, while they discussed a lot of topics, one of the most notable moments was when they discussed the current wave of sex crime accusations against Diddy, which also involved a federal raid. Trump Jr. compared the excessive force allegedly displayed by law enforcement and their weaponry to what they displayed to his father when they raided his Mar-A-Lago property. In both cases, he claimed, police were well-aware that the subjects were open to the raid, but still overestimated their resources to intimidate them.

In addition, Donald Trump Jr. told DJ Akademiks about claims that he heard through an ex-partner about how the late Kim Porter was afraid of Diddy during their relationship. Apparently, the ex-partner was a model in New York and a close friend of Porter’s, and someone who alleged that she heard of their supposedly abusive dynamic first-hand. While the two men didn’t get into many details about all this, and the businessman said he didn’t want to spread rumors, they still went along with this narrative as you can see in the clips below.

While the media personality is busy with a lot to cover in the hip-hop world right now, this Diddy case has been a big part of his social media presence as of late, although the same goes for most hip-hop media these days. However, in his case, a lot of it’s been aimed at his past rivals. For example, DJ Akademiks berated Yung Miami for her alleged involvement in the Puffy lawsuits. They previously clashed online over jokes made at each other’s expense, a spat that roped in a lot of other rap industry figures, too.

As to the case building against the Bad Boy mogul, some continue to argue for his innocence, or at least, for much less unforgiving scrutiny at the moment. What do you think about this discussion with Donald Trump Jr. and his claims about the late Kim Porter? However you may feel, let us know in the comments section down below.

50 Cent Shares Diddy “Text Messages” With Bizarre Social Media Troll

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent’s latest troll of Diddy amid his various sex crimes allegations is a little misleading when you see it on paper. Moreover, via Instagram on Wednesday night (April 17), he posted a video of the Bad Boy mogul seemingly texting him, inviting him to have a drink, come over, be in his next rap video… you get the idea. “Yo this is fun to me, I had to share this it made me laugh,” Fif captioned the screen recording in question, although it’s unclear if this is someone else’s video or if this is some sort of software or interface through which he fabricated this back-and-forth.

Either way, we’re sure many will find this amusing, even if 50 Cent’s relentless Diddy jokes are starting to get a little played out and stale. However, we’d much rather take those than potential misinformation, which many thought that he engaged in thanks to another recent social media post. Furthermore, the G-Unit MC shared a news report claiming that Sean Combs was in a sexual relationship with actor Reginald VelJohnson. Many folks accused the source of this rumor, Mediatakeout, of often spreading fake news, so this wasn’t as hard-hitting as he maybe thought.

50 Cent’s Latest Diddy Troll

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

Still, elsewhere, 50 Cent inadvertently cosigns more staunch and seriously framed attacks on Diddy that don’t just focus on the “zesty” allegations that some joke about first and foremost. For an example of this, look no further than Kesha changing her “Tik Tok” lyrics to “F**k P. Diddy” as opposed to her original “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.” “LOL she said [middle finger emoji],” 50 wrote of this decision on social media. “Fvck P DIDDY, HAHAAHAHA [eyeball emoji] PUFFY LIKE 50 TOLD HER TO SAY THAT!”

Meanwhile, one of the most recent developments in Puffy’s various lawsuits is that Universal Music Group wants out, with a motion to dismiss the case against them. It’s unclear how the rest of the industry that’s implicated in these accusations will handle them moving forward, either defending or abandoning him. Only time will tell, and with such a massive and hard to parse scandal, perhaps this will be a particularly long process. Nevertheless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Diddy and 50 Cent.

50 Cent Pits Diddy Against The Timberwolves By Gassing Up Anthony Edwards

April 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Anthony Edwards popped off against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night’s (April 9) NBA basketball game, cinching his first-ever 50-point performance. 50 Cent, a Timberwolves front office partner, was loving it, as the star player gestured a five-0 hand motion to him in the crowd after his lay-up. In fact, they even chopped it up behind the scenes, with Edwards remarking to the G-Unit mogul that he’s “funny as hell” after a hug. Fif was happy to document everything on social media and share in the celebrations, and he couldn’t help but embrace tradition and rope in a little Diddy troll in the process.

“Now puffy not gonna want to watch the game no more,” 50 Cent captioned the clip of him embracing Anthony Edwards, calling to his relentless bashing of the Bad Boy mogul amid his various accusations of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and other crimes. This was a well-established feud before these allegations emerged explosively toward the end of last year. As such, we can’t really say that this is surprising or unprecedented in any way. Yet it doesn’t make 50’s connections to the Diddy scandal any less outrageous or unwarranted, as he’s finding pretty much any excuse to comment on it.

What’s more is that this is also pitting the Queens native against other artists or celebrities who have come forward with a defense of Diddy. For example, he recently attacked Jason Derulo over his comments on the matter. “I believe in that. I believe in innocent before proven guilty,” Derulo had told TMZ during an encounter. “Shut the fvck up ! let me find out you on one of them tapes boy,” 50 Cent captioned an Instagram post about these comments, making his stance on even third parties to this situation very clear.

Meanwhile, these attacks have also landed against the likes of Meek Mill and Yung Miami, and showed little mercy when it comes to comically intended trolling. With all this in mind, all we can really hope for is that the dead horse gets beat in creative and new ways rather than just trolling for the sake of trolling. Then again, this is Curtis Jackson we’re talking about. For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, 50 Cent, and Anthony Edwards, stay logged into HNHH.

Tia Kemp Accuses Rick Ross Of Being On Diddy’s Alleged Freak Off Tapes

April 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tia Kemp went off on Rick Ross in a video on social media as she’s been trying to get in contact with him regarding their son’s upcoming prom. In doing so, she accused him of being on the tapes Diddy allegedly has of people attending his parties.

“I want you to talk. Don’t be scared now. No Diddy huh?” Kemp began. “You scared now. I know you’re on them tapes. Freaky b*tch. I know you is.” From there, she joked that her should send her a fruit basket and explained why she’s mad. She says Ross hasn’t hit her up and their kid’s prom is in two weeks. “What you quiet for? Nobody wants to see your Louis outfits and sneakers.”

When Live Bitez posted the video on Instagram, fans were loving the energy. “Her and boosie need to have a podcast together with one good moderator,” one user commented. Another wrote: “I just spit my coffee out. Why is she like this?” Check out Kemp’s full video below. As for the tapes Kemp mentioned, they’re related to the rumors that Diddy has been filming illicit behavior at his parties for years. While there’s no evidence of that being the case, Homeland Security agents raided his properties in Los Angeles and Miami, last month. No charges came of the incident.

Who Is Brendan Paul? Diddy’s Alleged “Drug Mule”

April 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since Diddy was sued by Cassie in November 2023, the music mogul hasn’t caught a break. Although the two reached a settlement just a day later, that lawsuit had already opened the floodgates. Arguably the most damning of them all right now is the lawsuit filed by producer Rodney Jones. The document, however, doesn’t include Diddy’s name, but Brendan Paul as well, which has led fans to wonder just who he is.

Evidently, Diddy is the one under the most fire. However, the vitriol from onlookers has certainly rubbed off on most of the people named in Rodney Jones’ court documents. It alleges that Brendan Paul worked as a drug mule for Diddy. While that particular allegation is yet to be confirmed or denied, Paul has since received backlash online. He got further media attention after he was recently taken into custody following the raid on Diddy’s homes. Here’s what we know about the man who is at the receiving end of a pretty serious allegation.

Background

Although his date of birth remains unknown, reports confirm that Brendan Paul is 25 years old. According to the police report obtained by New York Post, he is from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and still lives in the state. The report states that his current address is somewhere in Chagrin Falls, where he lives with his parents in an $829,000 four-bed, six-bath home.

For the first three years of high school, Paul reportedly attended Brewster Academy, a private boarding school in New England. The New York Posts states that he subsequently transferred to Hawken High, a private day school in Ohio where he completed his senior year of high school and later, was admitted into Syracuse University, New York, where he was popularly known as a basketball player. However, he was only there until his sophomore year, after which he allegedly transferred to Fairmont State University. It wasn’t until he finished University and got into the music industry that Brendan Paul met Diddy.

How Is Brendan Paul Linked To Diddy?

Although Paul hoped to transition into pro basketball after college, that unfortunately didn’t work out. As a result, he chose to try his hand at music production. During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, he began making beats on his laptop. That was the start of his journey as an amateur producer. Subsequently, according to New York Post, he linked up with Diddy to work on 2023’s The Love Album. Surprisingly, Brendan Paul is not credited as a producer on any song on the Diddy album. It remains unknown how and when exactly the two met. However, there are a handful of social media posts from Paul showing him in close proximity to Diddy.

The Allegation Against Brendan Paul

On Monday, March 25, 2024, Rodney Jones amended his lawsuit against Diddy. The producer added 25 pages to the existing 73 pages of the document, including more allegations against Diddy, and mentioning Brendan Paul. According to the document, Diddy allegedly has a love for a substance called pink cocaine aka tuci. Allegedly, Diddy has a designated mule who supplies the drug to him, and this mule is Brendan Paul. “Plaintiff Jones personally witness [sic] Mr. Combs do a few lines of coke in his dressing room. Defendant Sean Combs wanted tuci but Brendan forgot it, so Defendant Kristina Khorram called Yung Miami. Who then brought it on the private jet from Miami,” reads the lawsuit.
