Former Kanye West Bodyguard Accuses Ye of Discrimination and Unfair Termination

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Former Kanye West guard Benjamin Deshon Provo has filed a lawsuit against the rapper, alleging unfair termination and discrimination against Black workers. Provo, who worked for West at various locations, including his private school Donda Academy and a Yeezy brand apparel warehouse, claims that he was subjected to discriminatory treatment and ultimately dismissed for refusing to trim his dreadlocks, which he wore as a symbol of his Muslim faith.

According to the lawsuit reported by People, Provo outlines instances of unfair treatment, wage disparities, and pressure to conform to West’s demands. He alleges that West frequently screamed at and berated Black employees, while White employees were treated differently. Provo’s direct manager, John Hicks, reportedly told him not to discuss money with West, leading to a decrease in his paychecks after raising concerns about wage gaps.

Kanye West faces a racial discrimination lawsuit, accused of forcing Black employees to choose between “cutting” their dreads or “be fired” and giving them “less favorable treatment than their White counterparts.”

The lawsuit also alleges that “Kanye regularly expressed… pic.twitter.com/iwg6sY2OEg

Provo claims that West and Hicks pressured him to shave his head, with West allegedly becoming increasingly aggressive about the demand. Despite voicing his concerns about unfair treatment, Provo was met with dismissive responses and eventually terminated for defying West’s requests.

The lawsuit filed by Phillips also accuses West of suggesting building a jail on the school grounds, where students would be kept in cages. Phillips claims that his pushback against West’s bigotry and unlawful instructions made him a target for further harassment and ultimately led to a vulgar lashing in front of students and parents.

Diddy Challenges Lawsuit: Claims Statute of Limitations in Alleged Assault Case

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, Bad Boy Entertainment CEO Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs found himself embroiled in a legal battle when a woman named Joi Dickerson-Neal accused him and singer Aaron Hall of drugging and sexually assaulting her more than three decades ago. Now, Diddy’s legal team is fighting back, arguing that the laws under which he is being sued didn’t exist at the time of the alleged incidents.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Diddy’s lawyers are contesting several claims made by Dickerson-Neal, pointing out that the laws she is invoking were not in effect when she alleges the assault occurred. Specifically, Dickerson-Neal is suing Diddy under the New York Services for Victims of Human Trafficking Law, which was enacted in 2007, approximately 16 years after the alleged incident took place.

Diddy’s attorneys are calling for these claims to be dismissed with prejudice, asserting that their client cannot be held liable under laws that did not exist at the time of the alleged assault. Moreover, they maintain Diddy’s innocence, denying the accusations of sexual assault and emphasizing that the claims under these specific statutes should be invalidated.

However, Diddy’s legal team is not contesting the first two counts of the lawsuit, which include common law claims for assault and battery, as well as intentional infliction of emotional distress. These claims do not rely on specific statutes and are therefore not subject to the same arguments regarding the timing of the laws.

In addition to challenging the applicability of certain laws, Diddy’s lawyers are also contesting Dickerson-Neal’s attempt to sue Bad Boy Records and Bad Boy Entertainment, asserting that these entities did not exist at the time of the alleged incidents and therefore cannot be held liable.

Today In Hip Hop History: The Historic Truce Between The Bloods And Crips During The L.A. Riots 32 Years Ago

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In 1992, a truce was announced by Crips and Bloods to deter the gangs from killing each other after the acquittal of four police officers in the beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles the year prior.

What later became known as “The Watts Riots” was at the climax of a time in L.A where the murder rate had peaked at over 1,000 per year. Black and Latino gangs were the catalysts to much of the heinous and violent criminal activity being perpetrated throughout the city, and there was seemingly no end in sight for many. As one Rollin’ 20 Blood from the West Adams neighborhood, Skip Townsend recalled, “I mean I couldn’t even pump gas. I couldn’t go to the grocery store. I couldn’t do anything without interacting with someone who would want to hurt me or I’d have to hurt them.”

In the most unlikely of places for a cause to end the violence to have existed, came something unique and profound; a peace offering. At a housing project in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, in the heart of the city, two rival factions laid down their weapons and picked up a pen and paper to form the Watts Truce. Meeting there that day were The Grape Street and P Jay Crips met with the Hunter and Hacienda Blood sets, facilitated in part by football legend and anti-gang activist Jim Brown through his Amer-I-Can foundation. The West Coast Rap All-Stars also played a big part in setting the mood to end the violence, with the historic song We’re All in the Same Gang.

Within days, many gangs within the city took their cue from this peace accord, and the violence between them had almost completely ceased minus the few of those who held out, even as the infamous L.A Riots broke out the very next day. While the order of events may be very different as we fast forward back to now, the context is very much the same. History is only doomed to repeat itself unless the people work together to end violence as one.

Neyo’s Ex Apologizes for Outburst: Blames The Full Moon And Underlying Issues

April 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Instagram model Sade Bagnerise, known for being the mother of pop star Ne-Yo’s two youngest sons, has issued a public apology following a heated confrontation with the Grammy award winner. The incident unfolded earlier this week when Sade went live on Instagram from Ne-Yo’s bedroom, accusing him of neglecting their children and berating him for his alleged behavior.

During the live stream, Sade aired her grievances, accusing Ne-Yo of prioritizing his personal life over his responsibilities as a father. She claimed that Ne-Yo had failed to remove his “slew of women” from his home while their children were present and criticized him for allegedly neglecting to display photos of their sons around his residence.

However, in a surprising turn of events, Sade has now issued a public apology for her outburst, attributing her behavior to a combination of factors including the phases of the moon, her menstrual cycle, postpartum depression, and underlying issues in her co-parenting relationship with Ne-Yo.

In her explanation, Sade expressed remorse for her actions and acknowledged the impact of her behavior on both Ne-Yo and their children. She emphasized the importance of addressing underlying issues in their co-parenting dynamic and expressed a desire to move forward in a more constructive manner.

The apology comes after initial reports indicated that Sade had gloated about her actions, but her remorse and acknowledgment of responsibility after the fact suggest a willingness to take accountability for her behavior.

Look at her posts below.
