Diddy’s Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Will Not Be Removed

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Well, if you thought Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was going to be removed amid mounting accusations, think again. Sources say it will remain in place despite numerous calls for its removal amid his ongoing legal troubles.

Yes, the 54-year-old rapper and music mogul faces a growing number of sexual assault lawsuits, leading many people from all over the spectrum to demand the removal of his star. However, a Hollywood Chamber of Commerce spokesperson told TMZ that the organization is “powerless” to remove stars once installed on Hollywood Boulevard. The Chamber only has the authority to nominate, manufacture, and install stars, not to remove them.

ICYMI, Combs was honored with the 2,362nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May 2008, with actor Jamie Foxx introducing him at the ceremony. Foxx praised Combs, saying, “He throws the best party you’ve ever seen in your life,” and added, “This is big. This is legendary. And they’ll never be able to take this away from you.”

Despite the increasing number of lawsuits and a federal criminal investigation, Combs’ star is set to stay … For now. He has previously denied the sexual assault allegations, asserting that his accusers are seeking a “payday.” Yea, but there’s the tape …

Last week, incriminating footage emerged showing Combs violently attacking Ventura in a 2016 hotel surveillance video. Following the video’s release, Combs issued a public apology, which was met with skepticism and anger from social media users who questioned the sincerity of his remorse.

Get this: Ventura broke her silence on Thursday, urging people to “open your heart to believe victims the first time” amid accusations of lying about the abuse, including from Combs himself.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney stated they could not prosecute Combs for the assault due to the statute of limitations. Ventura had previously claimed in a now-settled lawsuit that Combs paid the hotel $50,000 for the footage after the attack.

In the wake of the aftermath, even more women have come forward with sexual assault allegations against Combs, dating back decades. One recent lawsuit, filed by April Lampros, alleges that Combs sexually assaulted her multiple times during the 1990s and early 2000s, according to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail. All that seemingly heinous and allegedly criminal behavior aside, his Hollywood star will remain.

Diddy’s Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame Will Reportedly Not Be Removed, Despite Controversial Video

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The demise of Diddy is far from over. Following the release of a graphic video in which he is seen violently assaulting his ex-girlfriend and former Bad Boy Records singer Cassie, public support continues to plummet.

Many organizations have already cut ties with Diddy including his own company, Revolt. Now, people are demanding that he be stripped of his professional accolades. Yesterday (May 25), it was revealed that talks about removing his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame had begun. However, according to TMZ, the governing committee will not take out the physical landmark.

In the outlet’s report, despite public support for its removal, a Hollywood Chamber of Commerce spokesperson claims that “the committee is unable to make the changes.”

The source took a moment to explain the powers of the committee. “[The committee can] nominate star recipients, manufacture and install stars upon city approval and conduct the Walk of Fame installation ceremony,” they said. “[However,] it lacks the authority to remove them.”

This isn’t the only accolade of Diddy to come up in public discourse. During an appearance on PIX11, New York City’s mayor Eric Adams revealed that he is “considering” revoking Diddy’s Key To The City, which was awarded in September 2023.

Diddy Is Facing Yet Another Lawsuit, This One Alleging Sexual Assault, Battery, And More

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The legal troubles continue for Diddy: Last night (May 24), NBC News reported that Diddy is facing yet another sexual assault lawsuit. This comes shortly after another one was revealed a few days ago.

April Lampros filed the claim in the Supreme Court of New York County. She’s suing Diddy over allegations of battery, sexual assault, infliction of emotional distress and gender-motivated violence.

Lampos alleges that while she was a fashion student at New York’s Fashion Institute Of Technology in 1994, she met Diddy. The rapper supposedly said he would mentor Lampros and offer industry connections, but he eventually became “aggressive” and “coercive.” Lampros claims Diddy sexually assaulted her on four separate occasions, including one incident where he forced her to take ecstasy and have sex with Kim Porter, Diddy’s former girlfriend.

Lampros says that years later, she learned that Diddy allegedly recorded himself and Lampros having sex and showed the video to others.

Diddy previously issued an apology after hotel security footage surfaced of him assaulting Cassie, saying, “It is really difficult to reflect on the darkest parts of your life, but sometimes you gotta do that. I was f*cked up. I mean, I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior in the video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.”

Diddy Accused Of Multiple Sexual Assaults In New Lawsuit

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s reputation as a monster has already been well-established. In May 2024 alone, the mogul has been caught beating his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, on video, and sued by an ex-model who claims he drugged and assaulted her in 2003. There’s not much more that needs to be done to convince the public that he’s a bad person. That being said, the horror stories keep surfacing. Diddy has been hit with another lawsuit, according to TMZ. The Bad Boy founder is being accused, yet again, of drugging and assault a woman at a party.

The woman in question is April Lampros. She was a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, which is where Diddy offered to serve as a mentor. Lampros states in her suit that she met the mogul at a SoHo bar in 1995. She claims the mogul “plied her with alcohol” and promptly brought her back to his room at the Millennium Hotel. She then accused the mogul of sexually assaulting her while she was drunk and unable to defend herself. Lampros recalled waking up the next morning “nude, sore and confused.”

Lampros agreed to meet with Diddy several months later. In an attempt to explain her thought process, Lampros’ lawyer described her as a “hopeful yet naive college student and took Mr. Combs at his word and believed that the first rape was a possible mulligan and decided to give him a second chance.” She claimed that Diddy once again forced himself on her. In a third incident, taking place in 1996, Lampros alleged that the mogul forced her to take ecstasy and perform sexual acts on his girlfriend at the time, Kim Porter. Another assault followed. Lampros said she finally broke things off with Diddy two years later.

April Lampros is suing Diddy for damages and attorney’s fees. In addition to the mogul, however, she’s listing Bad Boy Records, Arista and Sony Music Entertainment as defendants. Her rationale is that these labels enabled Diddy to commit his heinous crimes. She also claimed that her refusal to continue seeing Diddy resulted in her losing her job, and being blacklisted within the fashion world. Neither Diddy nor his legal team have responded to the lawsuit.

Jaguar Wright Claims That Jay-Z Groomed A Teenage Rihanna

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jaguar Wright has had a lot to say about Diddy in the midst of his downfall. The R&B singer claimed that Diddy has a tape of a woman being murdered, and taunted the mogul to release it as a means of delaying his own legal troubles. “Show them the tape Diddy, you’ve got it,” she taunted. “That might buy you a little time… We’re gonna hang you high, b*tch.” Wright took things a step further on May 23, however, when she claimed that Jay-Z is the next New York rap icon that will go down.

Wright appeared on the Street Stars podcast to discuss Jay-Z’s alleged crimes. The singer was asked what it would take for the Roc-A-Fella icon to fall from grace, and she responded with a name. “I don’t know [what it will take], but I got an idea that Evan Rogers is gonna help me figure that out,” she noted. “Evan was the producer who only seemed to work on teeny-bopper projects.” She then claimed that he played a role in Jay-Z’s discovery and subsequent mentorship of Rihanna in the 00s. “[Evan] discovered Rihanna at 3 am in a hotel room,” Wright alleged. “On the island where she comes from, with no parental supervision.”

The accusations don’t stop there. Wright claims that Rihanna was then put on a private plane as a minor. “From one country to another,” she elaborated. “And she ended up in a boardroom with Mr. Carter.” The singer told the hosts they should consider taking a look at the lyrics of Rihanna’s 2016 album Anti. “That album cover was disturbing,” she posited. “A child bride, with a crown on her head and blood smeared over her face… I don’t know, how come people don’t see SOS’s.”

Jay-Z and Rihanna’s personal history has been subject of lots of speculation. Especially given that the former is 19 years younger than the former Def Jam President. Listeners have theorized that Jay-Z wrote his verse on the 2006 song “Young Girl” about Rihanna, which is unnerving if any of Wright’s claims are true. In the interest of full disclosure, Jaguar Wright has made accusations towards Hov and Beyonce in the past. Some involving Diddy. The singer claimed that Diddy paid Jay a whopping $100K to sleep with Beyonce, but none of her claims to date have been substantiated.

50 Cent Reacts To Cassie’s Statement Regarding Diddy Footage

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has been extremely vocal about the Diddy and Cassie situation. Ever since Cassie filed her lawsuit against the music mogul in November of last year, Fif has been making all sorts of comments on social media. He has mostly been making memes at Diddy’s expense, and he has not taken his foot off of the gas. In the aftermath of the recent hotel footage that depicts Diddy assaulting Cassie, Fif has continued to call out the disgraced mogul. Furthermore, earlier today, Cassie released her own statement in which she thanked fans for their support.

“Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously,” Cassie said. “My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in. I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don’t cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thank you. Love Always, Cassie.”

Chaka Khan Ariana Grande s Collaboration

Chaka Khan’s daughter, Indira Khan, posted on Instagram that she is “singing and dancing” while watching Diddy’s demise.

What caused this? According to her, Diddy screamed in the legend’s face, and when her son attempted to intervene, the mogul’s security jumped him.

You can read the entire message from Indira Khan below.

Chaka Khan’s daughter shares a comment under Diddy’s apology video:

“I’m glad this is happening to you, you got in my mothers face and publicly disrespected her yelling and screaming like a lunatic when my little brother tried to get you out of my mothers face your security… https://t.co/FCi0hJ7PKL pic.twitter.com/iDXrSOXhvk

In other news, Diddy is the subject of yet another lawsuit from a woman. According to TMZ, model Crystal McKinney met Diddy at Men’s Fashion Week in 2003 when she was 22.

According to McKinney, Diddy invited her to the studio, where she engaged in drinking and smoking weed, which she believes was laced with narcotics, leading to her being disorientated.

That moment was followed by being forced into a bathroom, where she was then forced to perform oral sex, eventually losing consciousness and waking up in a taxi.

McKinney stated she was subjected to a modeling industry blackball and attempted suicide in 2004.

McKinney says her suit was inspired by Cassie’s and the feeling of having “a moral obligation to speak up.”

Netflix Lands Diddy Documentary from 50 Cent After Intense Bidding War

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It looks like 50 Cent’s nonstop trolling of his arch-rival Diddy is paying dividends. He just scored a big win for his much-hyped documentary film project based on the beleaguered Bad Boy mogul’s legal drama.

TMZ reported first that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s “Diddy Do It” will be a multi-part documentary. Word is Netflix won out on a hotly contested bidding war to secure the rights to the project.

With the sexual assault allegations piling up against Diddy, the horrific video that surfaced, and the new claim that just came to light Tuesday, this documentary is shaping up to be one for the ages. Sadly, we recognize the alleged and confirmed victims, namely Cassie Ventura, who were all brave enough to speak out against Combs, may be subjected to reliving their nightmares with so much attention being given to projects like Jackson’s documentary.

“Diddy Do It” is being produced through Jackson’s G-Unit Film and Television Studios. Several networks and, get this, all of the streaming platforms were vying for the rights to the multi-part series. It looks like the series is poised to premiere on the world’s biggest streamer soon, but no date has been announced.

What’s wild is that Diddy’s drama unfolds in real time. Just Tuesday, Combs was hit with yet another civil suit. Yes, again. Model Crystal McKinney has come forward accusing Diddy of a sexual assault dating back to 2003.

With Diddy’s so-called apology going down last week after the revelation of hotel security footage, one has to ask: Is 50 going to include all of this breaking news in the documentary, or is it already in the can? I guess we’ll have to wait and see on Netflix.

No, ‘The Simpsons’ Did Not Predict Diddy’s ‘Current Situation’ As A Viral TikTok Claims

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Simpsons did not predict 9/11, or the Notre Dame fire, or Donald Trump touching a glowing orb. And the animated series definitely didn’t predict “Diddy’s current situation,” as a viral TikTok that shows the rapper, who has been accused of assault by multiple women, running from the cops claims.

The Simpsons co-showrunner Matt Selman blasted the “AI fake” and the whole Simpsons-predicted-it phenomenon.

“In the current era of digital misinformation, The Simpsons ‘predictions’ (or, more accurately, ‘coincidences’) have become meaningless,” he told TMZ. “Any goofball can whip up an AI image based on a current event and say ‘The Simpsons predicted it!’ — and decent-but-easily-misled folks will believe it because they so very want it to be true.”

Selman continued, “If you study history, you will be able to ‘predict’ the future because the foolishness of humanity repeats itself. If you study math, you will know that if the show makes literally tens of thousands of jokes about American society over almost 800 episodes, it would be statistically impossible not to create material that overlaps with what would later happen in real life.”

Either that, or it’s the work of a thousand monkeys working at a thousand typewriters. The blurst of times, indeed.
