Suge Knight is taking his ever-present beef with Diddy to a new level. During a recent podcast episode, Suge Knight detailed his relationship with Misa Hylton, the mother of Diddy’s son, Justin Combs.
Knight would release an image playing with Justin during a time, aligning with the timeline for the East Coast-West Coast feud.
While discussing his relationship with Diddy’s baby mother Misa Hylton on his podcast ‘Collect Calls with Suge Knight’, Suge Knight leaks a photo of himself playing with Diddy’s son Justin Combs as a baby.
The latest entry in their decades-long saga comes less than a month after Cassie’s lawsuit revealed Diddy once planned to attack Knight once his secured team alerted him about the location of the Death Row leader at a local diner.
The court docs read, “For example, on one occasion when Mr. Combs and Ms. Ventura were using drugs together in his home, one of his security staff barged in and announced that Suge Knight—a longtime rival of Mr. Combs—was spotted at Mel’s Drive-In Diner in Los Angeles.
“Mr. Combs began to get dressed, retrieved multiple guns from a safe, and ran out of his home to where he believed Mr. Knight was dining. Ms. Ventura became terrified and began to cry.”

In the wake of recent controversy surrounding allegations of gang affiliation, hip-hop artist King Combs has taken to social media to address the rumors and set the record straight. The son of Sean “Diddy” Combs responded directly to the claims in an Instagram post, categorically denying any ties to gangs and asserting that he is not a gang member. The controversy erupted after Chicago rapper King Yella, and others, called out King Combs in a video. Expressing surprise at the alleged association with GDK (Gangster Disciple Killer). King Combs wasted no time in confronting the accusations on his Instagram account.
In a post that captured the attention of fans and critics alike, King Combs stated, “I ain’t affiliated w no gangs and I’m not a gang member!” The succinct response aimed to put an end to the swirling rumors and offer clarity on his stance regarding gang affiliations. The post garnered widespread attention, with fans expressing confusion and while others continued to scrutinize the situation. “I feel like bro was just playing but it’s more backlash cus of who he is and where he come from, we definitely all say crazy shxt just like this when a girl we fw record us,” one person commented.
“Runs in the family they known to end sum quick,” another said. “Tryna look cool for the h**s you rich ni**a you already got her lmaoooo,” said someone else. King Combs, known for his musical talents and family legacy, has always maintained a focus on his career rather than controversy. The recent allegations, however, forced him to directly address the issue and reassert his commitment to his craft without any association with gangs. As discussions unfold on social media platforms, King Combs’ response has added a layer of transparency to the situation.
King Yella previously called Combs out, by saying, “You don’t come from the streets or come from none of that. You were born famous, not from the streets. Come from a rich daddy that’s fighting a bunch of sexual allegations and crazy stuff. And you want to come talking about GDK. Don’t let them GDs get witchu you, dude. Goofy.” In an era where artists are not only scrutinized for their music but also for their personal affiliations, King Combs’ firm denial is a reminder of the challenges celebrities face in navigating their public image. The controversy, while currently centered around gang affiliation allegations, highlights the complexities that surround artists as they navigate the landscape of the music industry.

Kimora Lee Simmons recently shared on her Instagram that her home was merely engulfed in flames. Fans have flooded social media with comments speculating a connection to hip-hop mogul Diddy.
Kimora Thanks The Firefighters & Responders
Kimora Lee Simmons, the renowned fashion designer and businesswoman, recently posted on her Instagram that her Los Angeles was ablaze.
Photo evidence shared by Simmons showcased the aftermath of the fire, revealing extensive debris throughout her home, particularly near the fireplace where her carpet was rolled back. Firefighters could be seen diligently working to contain the flames in her living room.
While the cause of the fire remains unknown, Simmons has refrained from releasing any official statements. In a recent Instagram story, Simmons wrote:
“My house caught on fire. The kids and I are all fine. I cannot express enough my deepest gratitude to the numerous battalions, ladders and units that attended to us for many hours today and quite possibly saved our lives. THANK YOU!”
Fans Blame Diddy
As news of the fire at Kimora Lee Simmons’ house spread, numerous online users took to social media to link the incident to Sean “Diddy” Combs. Speculation and accusations regarding their alleged feud have been circulating, with some claiming that this incident was not a mere coincidence.
One user, @High_ImEboni wrote, “Seeing that Kimora Lee Simmons’ house almost caught fire & I immediately knew the comments were gonna be full of ppl blaming Diddy…” Another user @hippysoull, expressed skepticism, stating, “Kimora Lee Simmons’ house catching fire amidst all this dirty laundry about Diddy coming out isn’t a coincidence to me. I’m sorry but I don’t buy it.”
These allegations stem from recent revelations regarding the lawsuit Cassie filed against Diddy, where she revealed claims that he allegedly blew up rapper Kid Cudi’s car after discovering his involvement with Cassie, Diddy’s former partner. In addition, on Nov. 17, Simmons took to her Instagram story and posted, “As you sow, so shall you reap,” referring to karma for one’s actions and seemingly alluding to the repercussions the Bad Boy CEO might face.
Twitter user @TheFadeWW referenced this incident, writing, “Diddy trynna Kid Cudi Kimora Lee,” alluding to the potential connection between Diddy’s scandals and the fire at Kimora’s residence.
Family Feud
Amid Kimora Lee Simmons’ harrowing experience, it is worth noting her role as a devoted protector of her family, which recently gained attention due to a viral family feud involving her ex-husband, Russell Simmons, and their daughters, Aoki and Ming Lee.
The feud originated from a Father’s Day post by Ming Lee, where she posted a photo of her and her mother, explicitly acknowledging the absence of Russell Simmons in their lives.
Cardi B Pays Funeral Costs For Bronx Fire Victims
When disaster strikes and lives are affected by fires, celebrities often step forward to assist victims or extend a helping hand. In 2022, Cardi B demonstrated immense compassion by covering the funeral costs for the Bronx fire victims, wherein seventeen individuals tragically lost their lives.
Diddy is still under the scrutiny of the public, with the latest messages against Diddy coming from Luenell. Releasing a video on Instagram, Luenell encounters a picture of Diddy with DJ Khaled, then draws devil horns on him. “Boy Bye” and “#Justice4KP,” KP meaning Kim Porter, was captioned.
50 Cent’slongstanding disdain of Diddy appears to have reached new heights. According to Page Six, the former is allegedly working to develop an investigative documentary about latter and his legal woes. Given 50 Cent’s troll-like tendencies and the public pressure Diddy is facing following the strings of sexual assault lawsuits, people online are throwing their support behind the idea.
Although Diddy has maintained his innocence, 50 Cent is confident he has the investigative skills to find proof to substantiate the claims in court documents. “I thought Diddy was a billionaire music mogul,” wrote 50 Cent in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “If he’s smart, he will file for bankruptcy now. Anyone with real money knows why I’m saying this. I’m the best producer for the job guys. Here come the receipts.”
RAPPER I thought Diddy was a Billionaire music mogul, If he’s smart he will file bankruptcy now. Anyone with real money knows why I’m saying this. Im the best producer for the job guys. here come the receipts • https://t.co/jnbpt4VX0Bpic.twitter.com/OB8kpqdhBt
After learning that Diddy had stepped down as chairman of Revolt, 50 Cent rushed to X to express his interest in purchasing the network. “I’ll buy that from you, playboy, for the low because you know Cadillac and AT&T gonna pull out,” wrote 50 Cent. “I’ll give you a few dollars for it now! Sell it to me, then we can be friends. I’m serious. Call my phone.”
I’ll buy that from you play boy , for the low because you know Cadillac and AT&T gonna pull out. I’ll give you a few dollars for it now! Sell it to me, then we can be friends I’m serious call my phone • https://t.co/jnbpt4Vpb3pic.twitter.com/DOWYW8q8e3
50 Cent and Sean Combs have had their issues long before Cassie filed a damning lawsuit against the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist last month. The former couple ultimately settled their issues privately, though several others have come forward with allegations of their own against Diddy in the weeks since. On top of that stress, the industry mogul has “temporarily” stepped down as the head of Revolt, meanwhile many of his other partnerships are already cutting ties. Combs continues to maintain his innocence, but on Friday (December 1), Fif confirmed that he’s got a documentary about the embattled artist on the way, and it certainly doesn’t sound good for him.
“RAPPER ? I thought Diddy was a Billionaire music mogul,” the “I Get Money” artist wrote in the caption of his Instagram post below. “If he’s smart he will file bankruptcy now. Anyone with real money knows why I’m saying this,” Curtis Jackson declared. “I’m the best producer for the job guys. Here come the receipts.” His work on projects like Power and BMF proves that the New Yorker certainly does know what he’s doing on a TV set, but we’re curious exactly how he plans to frame this upcoming project.
As Page Six reports, G-Unit Films and Television has helped tell the stories of other rappers in the past, such as the late XXXTENTACION, Pop Smoke, and King Von on Hip Hop Homicides. Elsewhere, they dug into the world of true crime with Surviving El Chapo: The Twins Who Brought Down A Drug Lord, proving Fif’s creative storytelling range.
Among the latest troubling allegations surfacing against Diddy are rumours from Mark Curry. According to the former Bad Boy member, the label head was once responsible for severely injuring Kim Porter’s face, going so far as to break her nose. Read more about that at the link below, and let us know if you’ll be tuning into 50 Cent’s upcoming documentary in the comments.
In a recent interview with Angela Yee, Nick Cannon found himself navigating the waters of controversy surrounding hip-hop mogul Diddy. For those who have been keeping up, Diddy’s reputation has been cast in a complicated light due to a shocking federal lawsuit filed by R&B singer Cassie. The lawsuit, reported by the New York Times, alleged a disturbing decade-long pattern of control, abuse, and even rape. Leaving the public stunned and prompting denials from Combs. What unfolded next was a rapid-fire resolution, as Diddy settled the staggering $30 million lawsuit in just one day.
Cannon’s candid remarks shed light on the internal conflict many in the industry now face. The Wild ‘N Out star grappled with completely disapproving of Diddy’s alleged behavior. While still caring for the person behind the controversy. “I think it’s… man. We all sit here in this game for a long time. And there’s a lot of things that we probably don’t know the details on,” Cannon expressed. As the interview unfolded, Angela Yee pressed Cannon on his feelings towards Cassie amid the turmoil. “I mean, how do you leave a nice comment for Cassie with everything that’s been happening with Diddy?” she inquired. Cannon’s response signified the struggle faced by many celebs on the sidelines. He’s grappling with the revelation of alleged misconduct by someone they know.
“I don’t agree with the behavior, but I care for the person,” Cannon admitted. This internal tug-of-war became even more palpable with the revelation that Diddy swiftly settled the $30 million lawsuit within a mere 24 hours. Cassie’s lawsuit, painting a chilling picture of a decade-long ordeal, sent shockwaves through the industry, prompting a reevaluation of the narratives surrounding influential figures. Diddy’s quick settlement added a layer of complexity to the unfolding saga, leaving many questioning the truth behind closed doors. “When you think about all that Diddy has done for the culture,” Cannon said.
“We all on the outside looking in, and when you start to hear stuff, you don’t know how to feel because you know these people,” Cannon continued. Nick Cannon’s candid commentary serves as a snapshot into the industry’s struggle to reconcile personal relationships with the harsh realities of the public eye. The Diddy controversy, intertwined with Cassie’s explosive lawsuit and subsequent settlement, serves as a stark reminder. Even in the world of glitz and glamour, the shadows can hide painful truths. And not everyone may be ready to fully accept it.
Diddy has been dealing with quite a bit recently. It started when Cassie filed a lawsuit against him which was full of allegations of a variety of abuse. Even though the pair reached a settlement very quickly after it was made public, that didn’t stop people from reacting to it and discussing it online. Things got even worse in the aftermath when two more lawsuits were filed against him.
Nobody has taken more shots at Diddy publicly than 50 Cent. The two have been longtime foes and like many of his adversaries, 50 doesn’t hold back when criticizing them online. “Damn this bad brother love going out bad,” he captioned a recent Instagram post making jokes about Diddy and Cassie’s lawsuit. “50 must live in a glass house cus he throwing stones without a care in the world and sleeping peacefully,” one of the top comments reads. It’s one of many jokes about how 50 has a troubled history of his own that probably makes his criticisms a bit less biting. Check out his newest shots at Diddy below.
Earlier this month, 50 Cent revealed that he’s working on a new album. It isn’t clear how soon it’ll appear because he’s been on tour all year. “When I’m not moving around and I’m not touring and doing things, it’s going to permit me to focus on creating music. You’ll get a little more of what you get from Dr. Dre and Eminem from me at that point,” he promised during a live show.
50 hasn’t been on tour alone though. He was accompanied by Busta Rhymes who recently revealed something amazing at a Q&A event with fans. He shared that he lost 37 pounds this year while on The Final Lap tour with 50 Cent. The tour has made dozens of stops all over the world since it first took off in July. What do you think of 50 Cent once again taking shots at Diddy for his lawsuits on social media? Let us know in the comment section below.
Diddy, the renowned music mogul, is mired in controversy once again as shocking allegations emerge from his former bodyguard, Gene Deal. In a recent interview, Deal claimed that the hip-hop mogul had planned to hook all the members of the girl group Danity Kane on drugs and exploit them by pimping them out to his acquaintances.
More Shocking Allegations
This hair-raising revelation comes amidst a lawsuit filed by R&B singer and former girlfriend Cassie, who accused Diddy of physical and sexual abuse during their decade-long relationship.
As more details unfold, it becomes evident that Diddy’s dark secrets are gradually coming to light. Horrifying accusations have surfaced from Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, shedding light on a disturbing plan to use and exploit the members of Danity Kane.
Deal revealed in a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue that Diddy had made explicit remarks, stating:
“Imma drug them out and pimp them out to my n*ggas,” allegedly referring to the girl group members.
NDAs
Danity Kane, originally formed and created by Bad Boy Records, consisted of Aubrey O’Day, Dawn Richard, Shannon Bex, D. Woods, and Aundrea Fimbres.
The group experienced commercial success with hit singles such as “Damaged” and “Show Stopper.” Moreover, the claims made by Gene Deal suggest that only some of the members of Danity Kane signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). He stated:
“They have NDAs, non-disclosures, but there are some artists that didn’t say anything , didn’t sign it, and they are able to talk about anything they want to. And they were these girls, Danity Kane, I think a couple of them didn’t sign it. They’re probably going to go after him too.”
Former member Aubrey O’Day previously disclosed in September 2023 that she did not sign an NDA, revealing that Bad Boy Records had approached her regarding relinquishing her publishing rights but insisted that she should sign an NDA in exchange.

The Downfall Of Diddy
Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddymay have been settled, but it’s not quite settled in the hip-hop mogul’s empire. Diddy has recently stepped down from the REVOLT chairmanship and lost a significant number of deals and brand cache.
‘Sean Combs Has Stepped Down’
Diddy’s resignation as REVOLT Chairman, announced on November 28, 2023, has left many wondering why his decision was made. On Instagram, REVOLT TV released a statement:
“Sean Combs has stepped down from his position as Chairman of REVOLT. While Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in business, this decision helps ensure that REVOLT remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora. Our focus has always been one that reflects our commitment to the collective journey of REVOLT – one that is not driven by any individual, but by the shared efforts and values of our entire team on behalf of advancing, elevating and championing our culture – and that continues.”
Preceding this, on Nov. 16, Diddy encountered significant legal issues stemming from a lawsuit filed by R&B singer and former girlfriend Cassie.
She alleged the Bad Boy CEO had subjected her to physical and sexual abuse throughout their decade-long relationship. Subsequent to the filing of the lawsuit, Diddy settled the legal case within 24 hours.
‘Deleon Day Party’ Canceled
In addition to stepping down from REVOLT, Diddy’s brand suffered a blow when his Deleón Day Party was canceled due to the lawsuit filed by Cassie.
On November 17, a day after the lawsuit was filed, the cancellation was announced stating:
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the unfortunate cancellation of Sunday’s highly anticipated. DELEÓN Day Party. Recent, serious allegations against DELEON Tequila owner, Sean “Puff” Combs, have compelled us to take immediate action. In light of these circumstances, we believe it is in the best interest of our community to regrettably cancel the event. We understand the disappointment this may bring, but we remain committed to the values of integrity and accountability. However, we are excited to share that we have something special in the works for Tuesday, November 21st. We encourage you to stay tuned for an announcement that reflects the spirit and dedication to our community that has always been at the core of AGENDA. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.”
Macy’s Cuts Ties With Diddy’s ‘Sean John’
Furthermore, Diddy faced yet another setback when it was reported on November 22 that his clothing brand Sean John was being phased out of its two-decade partnership with Macy’s.
In May 2010, Sean John entered into a distribution agreement with Macy’s department store, designating Macy’s and Macys.com as the exclusive distributors of Sean John sportswear at both retail and online levels. As part of this arrangement, Sean John and Macy’s expanded the brand’s distribution to numerous Macy’s stores and established exclusive marketing partnerships with the NBA.
Will His Grammy Be Rescinded?
Adding to his woes, there are concerns about Diddy’s upcoming nomination for “Best Progressive R&B Album” at the 66th annual Grammy Awards. This leads fans to wonder if Diddy’s nomination will be taken away by the Recording Academy.
One fan named @invisibiliss wrote, “Are they gone replace Diddy Grammy nomination with someone else or nah?? I have ideas on who can go there..” Another user named @MsNadaNee wrote, “Will @RecordingAcad take Diddy’s Grammy nomination away???”
Grammy nominations, which have been retracted in the past, were the case with Milli Vanilli in the 1990s. It was discovered that they did not sing any of the vocals on their music releases, making them the only artists to have their Grammy rescinded.
Grammy Noms Revoked?
In the realm of Grammy nominations being rescinded, there may be a possibility. In 2022, shock rockstar Marilyn Manson initially received two nominations for his contributions to Kanye West’s album Donda.
According to theNew York Times, the former nomination was revoked after Manson was excluded as a writer of the song in the updated version of Donda. The Record Academy CEO, Harvey Mason Jr., clarified in a recent interview that only Manson’s work would be considered for the award, and that his ongoing legal issues didn’t interfere as he was charged with sexual abuse charges in 2021.
Harvey Mason Jr. stated:
“[The Record Academy] won’t restrict the people who can submit their material for consideration. We won’t look back at people’s history, we won’t look at their criminal record, we won’t look at anything other than the legality within our rules of, is this recording for this work eligible based on date and other criteria. If it is, they can submit for consideration. What we will control is our stages, our shows, our events, our red carpets. We’ll take a look at anyone who is asking to be a part of that, asking to be in attendance, and we’ll make our decisions at that point. But we’re not going to be in the business of restricting people from submitting their work for our voters to decide on.”
R&B singer, R. Kelly, who is currently imprisoned on sex trafficking charges, also had rumors swirling about the rescission of his Grammy awards in 2021. However, Mason Jr. stated:
“Right now, I think it’s something that is going to take a little bit more consideration before we can really dictate or decide,” he continued. “My initial feeling is we’re probably not a business that we want to be in of taking people’s awards back after they’ve been given. But we’ll take a good look at it and see.”
Is Diddy Banned From The Grammys?
As many are wondering about Diddy’s whereabouts for the upcoming Grammys, it is alleged that some stars are also refusing to sit near him due to the abuse lawsuit filed against him. According to the Mirror, a music insider stated:
“The formal invitations go out this month. There’s conflict at the academy as several voting members do not think it would be appropiate to invite Diddy.”
Foot Locker Rejects Ye
In a similar vein, the world of celebrities has seen instances where deals have been rejected or revoked due to controversial statements or behaviors. Kanye West, for example, faced rejection from Foot Locker after making anti-Semitic remarks, causing backlash and fears of further controversy.
