Diddy has become one of the most reviled figures in popular culture. The Bad Boy mogul has fallen from grace in months, despite being on top of the music industry for decades. Countless insiders have come forward with stories of Diddy assaulting, intimidating, or threatening them. These stories date back to the 1980s. Which is why fans have been fascinated by the possibility of a Kim Porter memoir. The late model had three kids with Diddy over the course of a decade. If anything were to have insight into his mind, it’d be her. Sadly, no such memoir exists.
Eboni Elektra, Porter’s close friend, debunked the memoir rumor on July 31st. The woman took to Instagram to assert that Porter had no plans to publish a book before her death in 2018. “I’m gonna say this as loud as I can,” Elektra wrote. “Kim Porter never drafted nor wrote a book, memoir, or manuscript. Quick lesson: ALLEGEDLY means When something is SAID TO BE TRUE but has not been PROVED.” The woman then took journalists to task for using the word “allegedly” while continuing to use unfounded rumors to draw attention.
The rumor suggested that Kim Porter detailed her experiences with Diddy, and his alleged abuse behind the scenes. That being said, Elektra made it clear that no such stories would have been shared about the man Porter had three children with. “There is no book,” she asserted yet again. There never was. Several people continue to speak about and spread blatant lies regarding this ‘mystery manuscript’ as if it were true. People…… IT’S NOT. Kim would never do such a thing, and that’s the honest to God truth.”
Eboni Elektra gave a eulogy at Kim Porter’s funeral, according to Sandra Rose. She spoke reverently of her late friend, and the sisterly bond they shared. She also worked alongside Porter as one third of the company Three Brown Girls. The mother of Diddy’s children may not have wanted to share her personal life with the world, but several accounts of the mogul’s behavior has come to light since her death. Kim Porter admitted that Diddy would call her upwards of 60 times a day when the two were separated, and Diddy was dating Jennifer Lopez in the late 1990s. “It was like my life was not my own,” she told Essence. “He was very, very intrusive.”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 50 Cent was asked about why he wanted to produce a documentary about Diddy. “I’m the only one from hip-hop culture that’s produced quality projects,” he said. “We do have a lot of talent within our culture where the talent has developed a comfortability in front of the camera, so they’re usually a part of it as an actor or driving force of why someone would watch the project; not the behind-the-scenes production, producing the whole project, so there’s a difference.”
The rapper and TV mogul was also asked about not attending Diddy’s parties. “He asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest shit in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman,” he explained. “And I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not fucking with this weird energy or weird shit,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”
The Netflix documentary about Diddy does not currently have a premiere date.
Kim Porter, the late ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs, detailed the alleged abuse she suffered at his hands in a reported never-before-seen memoir, surfacing nearly six years after her sudden death.
According to an anonymous source who shared the files with RadarOnline.com, the explosive 40-page document was found on a flash drive. While RadarOnline.com cannot verify the claims, the memoir includes harrowing anecdotes of the actress and model’s life, allegedly written in the months leading up to her death.
Porter described Diddy’s “jealous” nature and short temper, recounting an incident where he allegedly sent her to the hospital after beating her with a chair.
“We were supposed to go out for dinner, but he was in a foul mood,” the memoir reads. “Sean yelled, ‘What the f—!’ I would have to walk on eggshells as I came out of the bathroom, but I found him holding flowers, so I smiled, ‘You brought me flowers!’ Sean yelled, ‘No! So who the f— are they from?’ I was bewildered, and told him honestly, ‘I don’t know. Probably just a fan.’
“He threw the attached card at me. I picked it up to read it. ‘Sean i…’ He slapped me so hard I hit the ground. Sean yelled, ‘Who the f— were you with the other night?’ I looked down at the card that was lying next to me, and it read, ‘The other night was amazing, we must do it again.’”
The memoir alleges the flowers came from a producer for a project who she had coffee with to discuss future work. The producer was said to have work on another project, she explained to Diddy. The memoir alleges the details made Diddy more irate, flipping over a table. After more of a tense conversation, Diddy allegedly hit her with a chair. Kim Porter would awake in a hospital.
“My arm was in a cast, hanging from a sling,” the doc reads. “My face hurt. My eyebrow was in immense pain, as was my lip. As I came to, the first face I saw, was of the man that put me here.
“Sean asked with concern in his voice, ‘How are you feeling?’ I responded, ‘Stay away from me.’”
The manuscript reads Diddy would apologize, stating: “I don’t know what came over me.”
Kim Porter, who shared three children with Diddy, passed away at 47 in her Los Angeles home on November 15, 2018. The medical examiner ruled her death as “natural,” citing lobar pneumonia as the cause.

Keefe D is the first and only man to be charged with Tupac’s murder. The man born Duane Davis was charged in 2023, and is awaiting a trial set for November 2024. Keefe D’s situation is not ideal, but he has drawn lots of attention for his shocking claims. According to the gangster, Diddy was the one who ordered the hit on Tupac’s life in 1996. Keefe D went on to assert that Diddy wanted Tupac and Death Row co-founder Suge Knight gone so badly that he paid Keefe $1 million to “handle the problem.” This allegation has not been taken lightly by Tupac’s family.
Tupac’s family is taking steps to look into Keefe D’s allegations. According to TMZ, the family has taken steps to ensure that they get to the bottom of what really happened three decades ago. The family has hired attorneys a team of investigators, as well as attorneys Alex Spiro and Christopher Clore, to see if there’s truth to Diddy’s involvement. Sources close to the family claim the mogul will be the sole focus of the investigation. They also told TMZ that Tupac Shakur’s family believe they may be truth to what Keefe D has been claiming.
Diddy has never charged in connection to the Tupac shooting. He has, however, been hounded by many conspiracy theories over the years. A 2008 piece by The Los Angeles Times claimed he had knowledge of the Tupac shooting, but it was quickly retracted. The retraction didn’t stop Diddy from denying these allegations outright. “This story is beyond ridiculous and completely false,” he asserted. “Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened. It is a complete lie to suggest that there was any involvement by Biggie or myself.”
Obviously, Diddy’s reputation is not as sterling as it once was. The Bad Boy founder has been caught lying about multiple transgressions, including the abuse of his ex-girlfriend Cassie. There’s also been multiple victims that have come forward with stories about Diddy’s illegal antics during the ’90s. One such, story, from ex-Vibe editor, claimed Diddy threatened to have her killed if she didn’t give him an advance copy of a cover story. If Diddy did in fact have anything to do with Tupac’s death, then the Shakur family will find out.
The world of Diddy couldn’t be any more shakey as lawsuits detailing sexual abuse mount against him. His legal troubles continue, even outside of those that are explicitly detailing alleged crimes that he’s committed. In another turn of events, it was recently revealed that Diddy’s name appears 77 times in Keefe D’s court documents, according to The Sun. What’s more, Keefe D was allegedly a confidential informant for the police who reportedly tried to implicate Diddy in an undercover operation while simultaneously working with detectives from the LAPD.
Keefe D: The Alleged Informant With A Hidden Agenda

Duane Davis, also known as Keefe D, was not just an accused murderer; he was also an alleged police informant. Court filings by Las Vegas prosecutors, obtained by The Sun, claim that Keefe D began cooperating with law enforcement after they caught him trafficking drugs. He reportedly provided information on Tupac’s murder, believing he would be immune from prosecution. His alleged cooperation included a recorded account of the events leading to Tupac’s death, where he claimed Diddy had offered him a million dollars to kill the rapper.
Diddy’s Alleged Involvement

The court documents further implicate Diddy by recounting another interview with Keefe D. According to the filings, Diddy inquired whether the South Side Crips were responsible for Tupac’s death, to which Keefe D proudly confirmed. This exchange is a critical piece of evidence suggesting Diddy’s knowledge and possible involvement in the conspiracy to murder Tupac. Despite these allegations, Diddy has consistently denied any involvement in Tupac’s death.
Prosecutors allege that “Defendant [Keefe] has asserted publicly that he only told on himself and wasn’t trying to provide evidence against anyone else in his conversations with police… However, this statement belies this claim, as he suggested that Sean Combs paid Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings.”
According to the documents, prosecutors claim that three months after Keefe D’s recorded confession, he became an active confidential informant for a task force investigating Biggie Smalls’ murder. Keefe D and the task force officers traveled to New York to corroborate the conspiracy involving Diddy. During this undercover operation, Keefe D interacted with Eric “Zip” Martin, an alleged accomplice reportedly involved in the conspiracy with Diddy. “Task Force Detectives believed they had jurisdiction to investigate a Nevada homicide because Defendant asserted that the conspiracy to commit the murder began in California between Defendant, Eric ‘Zip’ Martin, and Sean Combs,” the documents read. The court papers reveal that Keefe D and Zip had a social interaction where Zip redirected Keefe D to his nephew for drug activities, indicating his withdrawal from the business.
Keefe D’s Legal Troubles & Bail Denial
Keefe D’s legal battle continues as he faces trial for Tupac’s murder in November. Despite securing a $750,000 bond, a judge denied his release due to concerns about the source of the funds. Prosecutors have presented extensive evidence against Keefe D, including statements he made in interviews and books, which place him in Las Vegas on the night of the murder. Investigators also found a hotel reservation under Keefe D’s wife’s name, further placing him at the crime scene.
During a heated bail bond hearing on Tuesday, Duane “Keefe D” Davis lashed out at prosecutors and a former LAPD detective, expressing his frustration over his legal situation. Keefe D, who hoped to pursue reality TV and movie projects upon his release, appeared visibly agitated as Judge Carli Kierny deliberated his bail. His lawyer, Carl Arnold, argued for his release, asserting Keefe D’s right to profit from his reputation, given his lack of conviction for Tupac Shakur’s murder. However, prosecutors contended that Keefe’s bail money was deceitfully sourced from a friend, posing a danger to the community.
Court Outburst
Keefe’s outburst was prompted by allegations that he and rap entertainer Cash “Wack 100” Jones misled the court regarding the bail bond’s origins. Prosecutors played recorded jail phone calls revealing discussions about a potential TV deal, further complicating Keefe’s defense. Keefe vehemently denied any deal with Jones for TV projects, and Jones echoed this denial in court.
Keefe’s anger escalated when prosecutors referenced his taped confession to LAPD, where he admitted involvement in Tupac’s 1996 murder. This confession, part of a proffer deal originally protecting him from prosecution, has now become a crucial piece of evidence. Retired LAPD officer Greg Kading, central to Keefe’s confession, was a particular target of Keefe’s ire. Keefe accused Kading of mishandling evidence and breaking the law by conducting TV interviews and storing evidence improperly.
Addressing Judge Kierny directly, Keefe argued against the use of Kading’s evidence, calling it tainted and unlawful. Despite Kierny’s attempts to maintain order, Keefe continued his tirade, accusing prosecutors of unfairly involving his family in the case. Kierny indicated she needed more time to review the evidence before making a decision on Keefe’s bail.
Keefe’s outburst comes in the wake of a 179-page court motion by prosecutors urging for his continued detention, citing his danger to the community and a history of violent behavior. This motion also details Keefe’s role as a confidential informant, where he attempted to implicate Sean “Diddy” Combs in Tupac’s murder. Despite these allegations, Diddy has consistently denied any involvement in the killing. Keefe faces life imprisonment if convicted of Tupac’s murder, with the trial slated for later this year.
The recent court developments linking Diddy to Tupac’s murder come amid a series of other legal issues for the music mogul. Diddy has faced multiple lawsuits accusing him of sex trafficking and sexual assault, all of which he has denied. Earlier this year, his properties were raided by Homeland Security officials as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation. The convergence of these legal battles raises significant questions about Diddy’s future and the potential impact on his career and legacy.
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.
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.
Eminem has always been someone who is never afraid to air things out on his albums, so it is no surprise he is doing it again on “Fuel”. This is one of 19 tracks off the Detroit MC’s highly-awaited 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). “Fuel” features the likes of Georgia MC JID, a collaboration that makes a lot of sense on paper. Both have elite pen games, and their flows are almost always engaging. Thankfully, the track really comes together in all phases, and it makes “Fuel” one of the major highlights.
So, what is Eminem getting into on this cut? Well, with him being one of the most intimidating figures in the genre, it is not wise to diss him. For example, the hip-hop community saw what happened to mgk after “Rap Devil”. It seems the hate gives Eminem extra juice to unleash on any competitor that tries to step to him, and its why naming this song “Fuel” is such a W. However, what also makes this track fun is that Eminem is playing the role of the instigator. He is coming for Diddy’s neck and does so in a clever manner. He starts of the series of bars with, “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R (Yeah) / Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As (Huh) / Wait, he didn’t just spell the word, “Rapper” and leave out a P, did he? (Yep)“
It combines wit and humor to the nth degree, talking about Diddy’s longlist of sexual assault allegations. Then, Em continues to unleash on him by referencing how Diddy allegedly hired Keefe D to put out hits and two of rap’s legends. “R.I.P., rest in peace, Biggie / And Pac, both of y’all should be living (Yep) / But I ain’t tryna beef with him (Nope) / ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D did him“. Overall, Em and JID split great verses over a glitchy and dark trap production and it’s one we highly recommend.
Homie got a heart full of hate and a face full of war paint Eyes all red, full of rage and it’s hard to escape from a dark place East side n****s from the A, n****s all ages Tryna sell a pound of the dog cage All the OGs ’round town was our age Danger, sex, and drugs, X and R rated
Janice Combs, mother of music mogul Diddy, was rushed to a Miami hospital on Wednesday due to chest pains. According to TMZ, the cause of her discomfort is still unknown, and she will remain under medical observation and testing.
Diddy was present at the hospital when his mother was admitted, offering her comfort and support. An insider remarked, “He’s her comfort in this,” highlighting Diddy’s close bond with his mother during this health scare.
A source close to TMZ suggested that Janice Combs may have attributed her chest pains to the stress related to her son’s ongoing legal issues. Further details about her condition and the results of her medical tests are yet to be disclosed.
In yet another lawsuit last week, Diddy is accused of forcing a former porn star into sexual acts at his annual party in the Hamptons. According to Page Six, the former adult star, Adria English, says she was contracted as a “go-go dancer” after meeting Diddy with her boyfriend, who auditioned as a model for Sean Jean.
English, who went by the alias Omunique, was Anthony Gallo’s girlfriend, and he stated he would get the Sean John job if English worked for the Hamptons party. English noted at the first party that she was not forced to engage in sex, but in the years following, it changed.
At another party, she was informed to wear a black dress, which is believed to be a sign she was a “sex trafficked sex worker.” She stated she was forced to sleep with Jacob Arabov, known in the industry as Jacob the Jeweler.
“At the end of the night, Defendant Combs, personally congratulated Plaintiff for following his directives with Defendant Jacob and a job well done,” the lawsuit states.
English stated she went along with the request out of fear of her safety and her and her boyfriend’s future job options.
Additionally, English stated she was sexually assaulted at Diddy’s Miami parties. She eventually separated from Diddy in 2009 but was blackballed from future work opportunities.
The requested damages in the lawsuit are unspecified.
Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, has been hospitalized for chest pains in Miami.
Janice Combs was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday with chest discomfort. According to TMZ, there are currently no details as to the cause of the pain, but she will remain under medical observation and testing. Diddy was at the hospital when she recovered.
An insider stated, “He’s her comfort in this.”
A source close to TMZ states Janice Combs associated her chest pains with a combination of stress from her son’s legal issues.
According to a recent interview with Art Of Dialogue podcast, 1999 Club NY shooting victim Natania Reuben says that not only was Diddy the person who pulled the trigger and not Shyne, but Reuben contends that the Bad Boy mogul intended to hire a hitman to kill her.
Reuben suffered a gunshot wound to the face during the Club NY shooting in 1999 and won a $1.8 million settlement in a civil lawsuit against the music, fashion and spirits mogul. Former Bad Boy artist Jamal “Shyne” Barrow served eight years in prison for the shooting, however, Reuben asserts that Diddy was actually the one who pulled the trigger on that fateful night just days before the turn of the millennium.
In the most recent episode of The Art Of Dialogue, the shooting victim says that the troubled living legend put ahit out on her during the trial, which forced her to relocate.
“I was born in Brooklyn [and] I was raised in Brooklyn,” she said. “I had no intentions of leaving, and probably had this [not] happened, I probably would have never left, but when the District Attorney’s office gets information from one of their confidential informant sources saying that there’s a bag on my head, and I’m calling the District Attorney’s office and I’m calling everybody because I look out my window where I was living in Canarsie, Brooklyn and there’s four, stretched, blacked-out SUVs — I lived on the corner — there’s one on that corner, that corner, one in front of my house, one on the next corner.”
“What should I do? Sit there and wait for them to come get me or submit to the will of people who have my best interest and want to move me and my family to preserve my safety? […] I had businesses. Why would I pick up and just leave everything I knew but for the fact that my life depended on it?”
She also is adamant that even with her criticism of Diddy, it by no way is a claim that Shyne is innocent.
“I said on my TikTok, Shyne did not shoot me because he didn’t, but Shyne is a con artist,” Reuben said. “Everybody’s like, ‘Oh, we knew Shyne was innocent.’ No, you don’t know a damn thing because he’s far from innocent.”
