SEE IT: Latest Diddy Accusation Alleges He’s Using Kids BDays on Socials to Influence Future Jury

Screen Shot 2024 11 20 at 1.59.10 PM

Guess buddy can’t post his kids born day while awaiting trial without being accused of nefarious intentions. Probably what happens when there’s a line of accusers piling up.

Here’s what we know … Diddy is facing fresh accusations from federal prosecutors, who claim the music mogul is using social media to manipulate public opinion and sway potential jurors in his upcoming trial. The charges against Diddy, which include racketeering, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution, have already placed him under intense scrutiny. Now, prosecutors are accusing him of orchestrating a media campaign from behind bars in an attempt to obstruct justice.

According to court documents obtained by our friends at TMZ, prosecutors point to a video posted on Instagram earlier this month by Diddy’s seven children as evidence of his calculated media efforts. The video shows his youngest child, Love, singing “Happy Birthday” to him, accompanied by the caption: “Happy Birthday Pops, we love you!”

While the post initially appears to be a touching family tribute, prosecutors argue it was a staged effort to manipulate public perception. From his jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, Diddy allegedly coordinated with his family to ensure the video gained widespread attention and elicited an emotional response from viewers—particularly potential jurors. Prosecutors claim Diddy closely monitored the engagement on the video, even discussing its impact on jury sentiment with his family.

This, they argue, is part of a larger, ongoing campaign by Diddy to influence the legal proceedings against him. Prosecutors accuse the rapper of using his platform to undermine the integrity of the judicial process and sway public opinion in his favor.

The allegations are particularly serious as Diddy is facing a range of charges that could result in significant jail time. Prosecutors argue that his social media actions are just one example of why he should remain in custody while awaiting trial. They also highlight concerns over his financial resources, which they argue make him a flight risk. Furthermore, they point to his alleged history of violence and attempts to contact potential witnesses and victims, accusing him of witness tampering in an effort to weaken the case against him.

Despite these claims, Diddy is making another attempt to secure his release on bond. This is his third attempt to secure a $50 million bond after two previous requests were denied. His legal team is pushing for his freedom, but prosecutors are firm in their opposition, arguing that his release would pose a danger to the public and jeopardize the integrity of the trial.

As the legal proceedings continue, Diddy’s efforts to influence the public and jury pool through his social media presence are adding another layer of complexity to his already high-profile case. Whether his latest attempt for release will succeed or if the court sides with prosecutors remains to be seen.

U.S. District Judge in Diddy Fed Case Orders Prosecutors “To Get Rid of” Notes Found in Cell

Screen Shot 2024 11 20 at 1.14.51 PM

Here’s breaking-ish news in Diddy’s epic legal case.

In a significant development, a judge has ordered prosecutors to destroy copies of the rapper’s handwritten notes that reportedly were seized during a recent raid on his jail cell at the notorious federal lockup he’s being held awaiting trial.

Get this, the notes, which Combs’ defense team argues are protected by attorney-client privilege, were obtained during an October 28 search of his cell at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

Now, that’s usually a no-no.

But when a Manhattan federal court hearing went down on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian gave clear instructions to prosecutors that they had to “get rid of them” while he considers the defense’s argument that the notes are confidential communications between Combs and his legal team.

What’s more, Judge Subramanian clarified that a separate team within the U.S. Attorney’s Office, responsible for screening documents for privilege, could keep a copy of the notes for review. That’s interesting. There’s nuance to all of this chaos.

As expected, Combs’ legal team had previously raised alarms about the raid, arguing that it violated his constitutional rights. A hard argument to prove but who knows.

Check it, they described the search as “outrageous,” claiming it infringed on Combs’ right to a fair trial and protections against self-incrimination. Attorney Marc Agnifilo referred to the incident as a “complete institutional failure” and stressed that the seizure of Combs’ legal notes was an unlawful breach of his rights.

The so-called search itself was part of a broader “safety and security initiative” at the detention center, which had been scheduled before Combs’ September arrest. Sounds like a smoke screen but we really do not know.

Prosecutors claim the search resulted in the discovery of several personal items, including a manila folder labeled “legal,” a notebook, and an address book. While some materials were submitted for review, prosecutors assert that the notes, which touched on business matters and family concerns, do not fall under the category of privileged legal communications.

Diving in, prosecutors also allege that Combs’ notes include references to paying off potential witnesses and gathering damaging information about them, actions that could amount to obstruction of justice. This claim further complicates the defense’s argument for attorney-client privilege.

Bringing you fully up to speed, a hearing on Combs’ bail request is scheduled for Friday, and the legal battle over the notes continues as the court decides whether they will be used in the preparation for his trial. Meanwhile, the judge has ruled that the notes should not be used by prosecutors to determine whether Combs should be granted bail. Makes sense. Let’s see how it all unfolds.

Influencers Reportedly Targeted by Private Investigators Over Content Connected to Diddy

Screen Shot 2024 11 20 at 12.57.45 PM

Now TikTok has entered the toxic Diddy chat. Several so called TikTok influencers have reported they received surprising visits from private investigators. Okay. The revelation sparked speculation about a larger investigation connected to music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Well, duh.

Get this, TikToker Samson Crouppen (@samsoncrouppen1) posted a video on Monday showing two investigators arriving at his Los Angeles home. According to Crouppen, the investigators questioned him about whether he had been paid to create content related to Diddy. He denied any such arrangement and expressed confusion over their inquiry. What’s more, the investigators reportedly pressed him further, repeatedly asking if financial incentives had influenced his posts about the music mogul. Wow. So now if you post content related to someone under fire, then you might get pulled up on by private investigators? What world is this?

Check it, in response to the incident, Crouppen filed a harassment complaint with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), further drawing attention to the unusual nature of the visit.

It did not stop there, another influencer, Amala Ekpunobi (@amalaekpunobi), shared her own similar experience. Ekpunobi claimed that the same investigators approached her and offered money in exchange for information about anyone allegedly paying her to create content related to Diddy. Ekpunobi, who has posted multiple stories discussing the rapper, also denied any payments and revealed that the investigators mentioned targeting at least ten other influencers as part of their probe.

As you can expect, the legal battles surrounding Diddy continue to attract public attention. Influencers have found themselves unexpectedly caught up in the controversy, but if they don’t want the smoke then maybe they should find something else to post. Now private investigators are probing their social media activity for possible connections to the music mogul’s ongoing legal issues.

Wild times.

Here’s an Iconic Flow that resonates today. When Yonkers legend Jadakiss released Why feat. Anthony Hamilton, in 2004, the theme in his lyrics were purely – thought-provoking. When you think about what’s going on today in age of social media overload where people question everything, it’s fair to say Jada was ahead of his time. Questioning life, without a search engine guiding your every move but in rap format that we can all understand and align with was nothing short of art. Let’s be real if there were handing out Pulitzer Prizes to rappers back then, Jadakiss should have been on top of that list.

Screen Shot 2024 11 20 at 11.52.58 AM

Get this, Jadakiss posed questions that began with a Why to the likes of:

“Why is a brother up north better than Jordan, That ain’t get that break?”

“Why you don’t stack instead of trying to be fly?, Why is ratting at an all time high?”

“Why are you even alive?”

Obviously the content of the song is clear but it’s Jadakiss’ signature raspy by effortless delivery that keeps us locked all the way in. From the harsh realities of life to industry specific situations, Why is one of them ones that’s etched into our minds as an Iconic Flow. 

Here are the full lyrics below and we even included the link to the original visual … Jada, Jada (Swizz voice), ha!

Jadakiss – Why feat. Anthony Hamilton – Lyrics

Yo, why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets?

Why is the industry designed to keep the artist in debt?

And why them dudes ain’t riding if they part of your set?

And why they never get it popping but they party to death?

Yea, and why they gonna give you life for a murder?

Turn around only give you eight months for a burner? It’s going down

Why they selling niggas CD’s for under a dime?

And if it’s all love, daddy, why you come with your 9?

Why my niggas ain’t get that cake?

Why is a brother up north better than Jordan

That ain’t get that break?

Why you don’t stack instead of trying to be fly?

Why is ratting at an all time high?

Why are you even alive?

Why they kill 2pac n’ Chris?

Why, at the bar, you ain’t take straight shots instead of poppin Cris?

Why them bullets have to hit that door?

Why did Kobe have to hit that raw?

Why’d he kiss that whore?

Why?

All that I’ve been given

Is this pain that I’ve been living

They got me in the system

Why they gotta do me like that?

Tried to make it my way

But got sent up on the highway

Why? Oh why

Why they gotta do me like that?

Why do niggas push pounds and powder?

Why did Bush knock down the towers?

Why you around them cowards?

Why Aaliyah have to take that flight?

Why my nigga D ain’t pull out his Ferrari

Why he take that bike?

Why they gotta open your package and read your mail?

Why they stop letting niggas get degrees in jail?

Why you gotta do 85% of your time?

And why do niggas lie in 85% of they rhymes?

Why a nigga always want what he can’t have?

Why I can’t come through in the pecan Jag?

Why did crack have to hit so hard?

Even though it’s almost over

Why niggas can’t get no jobs?

Why they come up with the witness protection?

Why they let the Terminator win the election?

Come on, pay attention!

Why I sell in the stores what you could sell in the streets?

Why I say the hottest shit but we sellin’ the least?

All that I’ve been given

Is this pain that I’ve been living

They got me in the system

Why they gotta do me like that?

Tried to make it my way

But got sent up on the highway

Why? Oh why

Why they gotta do me like that?

Why Halle have to let a white man pop her to get a Oscar?

Why Denzel have to be crooked before he took it?

Why they didn’t make the CL6 with a clutch?

And if you don’t smoke why the hell you reaching for my dutch?!

Why rap? Cause I need air time

Why be on the curb with a “Why lie? I need a beer” sign?

Why all the young niggas is dying?

Cause they moms at work, they pops is gone, they living with iron

Why they ain’t give us a cure for AIDS?

Why my diesel have fiends in the spot on the floor for days?

Why you screaming like it’s a slug? It’s only the hawk

Why my buzz in L.A. Ain’t like it is in New York?

Why they forcing you to be hard?

Why ain’t you a thug by choice?

Why the whole world love my voice?

Why? Try to tell ’em that it’s the flow son

And you know why they made the new twenties?

Cause I got all the old ones

That’s why

All that I’ve been given

Is this pain that I’ve been living

They got me in the system

Why they gotta do me like that?

Tried to make it my way

But got sent on up the highway

Why? Oh why

They gotta do me like that?

Why

Oh why

Kim Porter’s Sons Take Legal Action Over Alleged Diary Sales

Kim Porter's Cause of Death Revealed

Kim Porter's Cause of Death Revealed

The children of the late Kim Porter, Christian Combs, Quincy Brown, and twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs, are taking a firm stand against the unauthorized sale of what’s being marketed as her diary. Two months after publicly condemning the so-called Kim Porter Tell It All memoir, Christian and Quincy have formally issued a cease-and-desist notice to halt its distribution.

According to TMZ, the legal notice was directed at Courtney Burgess and his attorney, Ariel Mitchell, who are allegedly behind the book, sold under the pseudonym Jamal Millwood. Burgess has claimed that the book is an “original unedited” copy of Kim Porter’s private writings, obtained from a flash drive provided by individuals close to her.

Christian and Quincy strongly refute these claims, labeling the flash drive story as “patently false” and deceptive to the public. They argue that as Kim Porter’s rightful heirs following her untimely passing in November 2018, they own the intellectual property rights to any of her writings or possessions.

In their cease-and-desist letter, the brothers demand that Burgess immediately halt all book sales, cease interviews promoting its alleged origins, and surrender any of Kim’s personal belongings he claims to possess. They also request a full accounting of any profits generated from the book’s sales.

The Combs brothers have clarified that legal action could follow if their demands are unmet within five days. This bold move underscores their commitment to protecting their mother’s legacy and combating what they view as exploiting her memory.

Chris Brown’s Ex Manager Alleges Parents Would Drop Their Daughters Off At His Hotel

tina

Tina Davis, who managed Chris Brown for 12 years, addressed some of the controversies that surrounded the R&B superstar during his rise to fame. Davis shed light on the complex dynamics of fame, including how some parents went to great lengths to gain access to Brown, and offered insights into the infamous incident with Rihanna that shook the music world in 2009.

Parents Pushing for Stardom

Davis revealed startling details about the lengths some families would go to in pursuit of fame or financial security through their association with Brown.

“Parents used to drop their daughters off at hotels, hoping they’d get into a relationship with Chris so he’d marry them,” Davis shared during the interview with The Art of Dialogue.

She described these situations as a difficult and unsettling reality of managing a young artist with immense popularity. According to Davis, this behavior was part of the challenges of protecting a young star in the music industry, where boundaries were often blurred.

Davis also indirectly addressed long-standing rumors surrounding the infamous 2009 fight between Brown and Rihanna. For years, speculation circulated that a text message from Davis to Brown was the catalyst for the argument that led to the altercation.

Though Davis didn’t speak directly about the incident in this interview, her involvement at the time raised questions about the pressures and entanglements of managing a young superstar at the height of his fame.

Chris Brown’s Road to Redemption

Following the fallout from the 2009 incident, Brown faced significant backlash, with many radio stations pulling his music from rotation. Davis disclosed the strategic efforts her team employed to help rebuild Brown’s career and regain industry support.

“It wasn’t easy,” Davis admitted. “We had to find ways to get him back on the radio while navigating all the controversy. It was about showing the world his talent and that he was willing to grow from his mistakes.”

The efforts eventually paid off, with Brown returning to the charts and solidifying his status as one of R&B’s most consistent hitmakers. While Brown’s journey has been marked by both extraordinary success and intense scrutiny, Davis’s perspective offers a glimpse into the complexities of managing a star during turbulent times.

Kodak Black Confirms Drug Use: ‘I’m Too Young to Die Sober’

Kodak Black's "Super Gremlin" Tops RapCaviar's Most Streamed Song List for First Half of 2022

Over the last few weeks, Kodak Black has demonstrated concerning behavior in regard to his sobriety. Hitting Instagram Live, Black revealed he is “never sober.”

“For what? For what? Look at this money. Look at all this cash,” Kodak said. “Sober for what? I’m too young to die sober.”

Kodak Black raised concerns following his appearance on Kai Cenat’s livestream early this week.

Kodak joined the famed streamer’s 30-day “Mafiathon” livestream, and his behavior immediately caught the attention of all who witnessed his behavior, which many observers described as “tweaking”, a description given to those who are visibly intoxicated or high.

The “Super Gremlin” rapper was sweating profusely and rambling while talking for a large portion of his appearance. At one point, Black even successfully lands a seal shot, where he threw a pill (presumably a Percocet) in the air and caught it in his mouth, which stunned Cenat, who questioned Kodak about what he’s just popped in his mouth. Kodak replied, “It was a glitch for the Twitch.”

Earlier this year, Kodak admitted on IG Live that he had a serious problem with Percocets, saying, “I remember a point in my life when I was chewing a lot of Percs. I’m proud of myself. I’ve never been this happy in my life. I don’t know where this came from, what the fuck going on.”

He added, “Before I just went to jail — I can talk about this because it’s my testimony, ain’t no shame in my shit — I was taking at least 100 Percs. My average was 40 Percocets… to the point where I look at this shit and be like, ‘What the fuck was wrong with me, bruh?’”

With an acute relapse visibly on the horizon, it’s safe to say that Kodak needs to get help before he faces the same fate of so many addicts, both unknown and famous, have faced since the beginning of the opioid crisis in this country almost a decade ago.

SOURCE SPORTS: Juan Soto Rejects Qualifying Offer From Yankees

Several reports have confirmed that free agent outfielder Juan Soto formally rejected the $21 million qualifying offer from the New York Yankees, becoming one of twelve free agents who declined a similar one-year offer. The Yanks will receive Draft compensation if Soto is picked up by another team, but the Bronx Bombers are working hard to keep that from happening, calling in managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone to their meeting yesterday with Soto.

According to MLB.com, the left-hander has already fielded meetings with the Blue Jays, Red Sox and Mets. Other teams such as the 2024 World Series Champion L.A. Dodgers, the Giants, Phillies and Rays have expressed interest in the 26-year-old outfielder.

Juan Soto wrapped up an exceptional season in 2024, earning $31 million while posting some of the best numbers of his young career. Across 157 regular-season games, Soto slashed .288/.419/.569, tallying 128 runs, 31 doubles, 41 home runs, 109 RBIs, and 129 walks. His performance set career highs in several key categories, including runs scored (128), hits (166), home runs (41), total bases (328), and extra-base hits (76).

“It was a remarkable season,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said last week. “As I’ve said all year, what Juan did for us between the lines was pretty special. But equally, I was just impressed with the person. Really getting to know him and managing him was a pleasure.”

Soto’s stellar contributions have sparked significant interest across the league, and his future remains a hot topic of discussion. Boone didn’t hide his desire to keep Soto in pinstripes but acknowledged the fierce competition to secure the star outfielder.

“I certainly would love to have him back, obviously,” Boone added. “I want him in pinstripes moving forward. But you also know there’s going to be a lot of people competing for that, and who knows where it ends up?”

As teams line up for the chance to acquire one of baseball’s brightest talents, Soto’s impact in 2024 is a testament to his consistency and superstar potential.
