According to TMZ, a court-mandated representative will handle the rapper’s assets and can “break any locks necessary to gain access to any real property.” The rapper’s Rolls-Royce and Florida mansion are expected to reach the auction block in the matter.

The incident involved Alex Salaberrios who worked at Gold Rush Cabaret in Miami, leading her to the ER with the need of a head wound to be stapled closed. The rapper’s attorney, Lance Lazzaro, states 6ix9ine was not involved. “There are video cameras in the establishment,” Lazzaro said. “It’s an attempt to shake him down. If he is served properly, we will immediately move to have it dismissed.”

Over the weekend, Yailin La Más Viral, the girlfriend of Tekashi 6ix9ine, was arrested after she assaulted and threatened the controversial rapper in videos. TMZ notes the incident happened on Dec. 14 and authorities responded after the woman hitting the rapper and his Bently with a 2×4.

Trump Says Immigrants Are ‘Poisoning the Blood’ of US, Message is Compared to Hitler

President Trump Officially Arrested in New York City

President Trump is on the campaign trail and used language that once was used by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. While appearing on stage Saturday, Trump stated the immigrants coming to the United States are “poisioning the blood of our country.”

“I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into our country,” Trump said.” When they do that, we got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country.

“That’s what they’ve done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

According to NBC, he doubled down in the “poison” rhetoric on Truth Social, stating, “illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation. They’re coming from prisons, from mental institutions — from all over the world.”

“Blood poisoning” was originally used by Hitler in his manifesto “Mein Kampf,” which spoke against immigration and integration of races.

The Biden campaign released a message against Trump’s messaging:

“Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy. Trump is not shying away from his plan to lock up millions of people into detention camps and continues to lie about that time when Joe Biden obliterated him by over 7 million votes three years ago.”

You can her Trump’s messaging below.

Also over the weekend, Rantin’ Ye is back with his own Hitler messaging. While in Las Vegas for the latest of his Vultures raves, Ye was surrounded by people when he unleashed his latest rant, screaming, “Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye! Sponsor that!” Ye would also recall his past antisemitic statements of Jewish people owning and managing essential institutions.

But he didn’t stop there; Ye would also return to the attack of fashion stapes, screaming at Balenciaga, Gap, and Louis Vuitton. He also aimed at Donald Trump, stating both Larry Hoover and Jeff Fort should be freed from prison to get his support for the president.

At one point, Ye seemed to reference his daughter North West, stating, “My daughter ripped up the mother f**king couches in the house to be able to be with me right now.”

You can hear all the madness below.

Darius Jackson Accuses Actress KeKe Palmer of Physical Abuse

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson at 'Renaissance'

KeKe Palmer has found herself entangled in a bitter legal battle with her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson. Last month, Palmer was granted sole custody of their 10-month-old son, Leo, along with a restraining order against Jackson, following allegations of assault.

However, the drama has taken a new twist as Darius Jackson has now accused KeKe Palmer of being the aggressor in their tumultuous relationship. Legal documents obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal Jackson’s claims of physical abuse against the actress and his demand for the dismissal of the restraining order.

The documents, filed in Los Angeles on Friday, outline several alleged incidents to support Jackson’s accusations of abuse. According to Jackson, KeKe Palmer, whose real name is Lauren, has been the aggressor for a significant portion of their relationship.

One incident mentioned in the filing occurred on August 20, 2021, where Jackson claims Palmer punched him in the face during a birthday party. Jackson also accused Palmer of grabbing his arms, punching him, and bombarding him with over 200 phone calls.

Another alleged incident took place on October 24, 2021, where Jackson claims Palmer violently gripped his arm to prevent him from leaving her house. On November 17, 2021, after Jackson declined to spend the night with her, Palmer reportedly called him over 200 times and sent over 50 emails.

The filing further details instances where Jackson claims Palmer physically attacked him, leaving marks on his body. Allegations include being punched and attacked by choking and hitting. Additionally, Jackson accuses Palmer of berating him with derogatory names such as a ‘b—-,’ a ‘punk a–,’ and a ‘loser.’

These recent accusations come after Palmer was granted a temporary restraining order against Jackson, citing domestic violence and providing security footage screenshots as evidence. The footage captured moments of physical aggression from Jackson towards Palmer.

Screen Shot 2023 12 16 at 10.15.58 AM

Yesterday, the Kyle Kuzma Family Foundation and Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma hosted the Golden Ticket Family Holiday Event, the final stop of the multi-city Holiday Initiative. The foundation’s multi-city essential goods distribution initiative began in Flint, Michigan earlier this month, with direct to home deliveries by trucks to families including home goods, toys, 250 cases of PATHWATER, as well as a Golden Ticket shopping spree event for 15 single mothers.

Screen Shot 2023 12 16 at 10.15.12 AM

The Golden Ticket event delivered over 20,000 essential goods to families in need in Flint and DC, as part of Kyle’s ongoing efforts to give back to those less fortunate this holiday season. The D.C. drive gave the children and their families a chance to enjoy the holiday cheer with festive decorations, hot chocolate, and a special appearance from Santa Claus. In addition to the giveback, Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington D.C. awarded Kyle with a Mayoral Proclamation to thank him for his tremendous donation. The proclamation is an incredible honor that highlights Kyle Kuzma and his foundation’s continuous displays of generosity for his community and those in need.

The event, which was in partnership with Good Projects and Hearts of Empowerment, brought over 600 families to the King Greenleaf Rec Center to enjoy the day of festivities along with notable attendees, including Councilmember Charles Allen and Mayor Muriel Bowser. This event marks another milestone for the Kyle Kuzma Family Foundation’s ongoing giveback efforts. The Kuzma Family Foundation recently worked with R.I.S.E and I.G.N.I.T.E. earlier this month to bring incarcerated single mothers the chance to enjoy Christmas with their families from within the jail. The event was a huge success with a mother being reunited for the first time with her baby and Kyle passing out toys and gifts to the mothers and their kids.

Diddy Breaks Social Media Silence with Kim Porter Birthday Wish: ‘Love Forever’

Diddy Breaks Social Media Silence with Kim Porter Birthday Wish

Diddy broke his social media silence to deliver a message to a message to Kim Porter on her birthday. “We miss you so much Kim! Happy Birthday Beautiful! Love forever,” Diddy wrote. The message was shared on both X and Instagram.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Diddy’s reality show planned for Hulu was scrapped. According to Variety, Diddy +7 was produced by James Corden’s production company Fulwell 73 but was scrapped following multiple lawsuits against Combs.

Earlier in the month, another woman sued Diddy, stating she was sex trafficked and gang-raped while she was a 17-year-old high school student.

According to TMZ, the anonymous accuser stated Bad Boy Entertainment President Harve Pierre met her in 2003 in Detroit. Pierre stated she was “hot,” name-dropped Diddy, and flew her to meet him in NYC. The woman stated she met Diddy in a recording studio and sat on his lap during the session, indulging in drugs and alcohol. The accuser supplied images from the alleged meeting.

She states that everything was a blur following the substances, and she remembered nonconsensual sex in the bathroom with Diddy, followed by Pierre and another man. She states she was left in the fetal position and eventually flown back to Michigan, suffering in silence for 20 years but finding the courage to speak out after Cassie’s lawsuit.

In response, Diddy stated to TMZ, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.

“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”

Previously, Pierre had been sued for grooming and sexually assaulting his assistant. The lawsuit states Pierre’s allegations by his assistant occurred “on multiple occasions in New York City and other locations throughout the country” and “used his position of authority as plaintiff’s boss to groom, exploit, and sexually assault her.”

The assistant now seeks damages that will “fully and fairly compensate” the assault. Bad Boy Entertainment, Bad Boy Records, and Combs Enterprises are listed in the suit.

“We have recently become aware of a lawsuit filed in New York by a former employee,” a spokesperson for Bad Boy Records said to Rolling Stone. “The allegations are from many years ago that were never brought to the attention of the company. Neither the plaintiff nor the executive are current employees of the company. We are now investigating the allegations, and our top priority is the safety and well-being of our employees.”

That development came less than a week after Diddy settled a lawsuit with Cassie over accusations that included domestic violence and rape. According to TMZ, the suit was ended in New York on Monday. The doc reads, “Pursuant to an agreement between the parties, Plaintiff hereby dismisses this action, with prejudice and without costs or fees to either party.”

Shortly after news of the lawsuit rattled the world on Thursday, Diddy and Cassie settled the lawsuit on Friday.

“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,” Cassie said after the settlement. “I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support.”

For the first time since settling his lawsuit with his ex-lover, singer Cassie, Diddy has been spotted. He was spotted outside his Star Island Miami mansion, beside his chief of staff, with his face buried in his hands.

After settling with Cassie following her explosive allegations. Ben Brafman, Diddy’s lawyer, shared a statement:

“Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing. Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.”

Diddy was sued by his former lover Cassie, stating she was rapped and sex trafficked during their relationship. Cassie, born Casandra Ventura, filed the suit in New York City, stating she was the victim of a “cycle of abuse, violence and sex trafficking.

Black Lives Matter Calls Out Kanye West for Wearing KKK Hood on Stage

Black Lives Matter Calls Out Kanye West for Wearing KKK Hood on Stage

Kanye West is being blasted by the Black Lives Matter organization for wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood while on stage at this Vultures listening party in Miami.

The KKK hood worn by Ye was all black, instead of the customary white, which is being blasted by BLM and the National Civic League.

“The shock and disgust that Ye generated should be channeled into supporting efforts to eliminate this repugnant ideology from society,” BLM said to TMZ. “Hate groups are growing at an alarming rate in America. Of the list of over 1,200 active hate groups in society, the KKK is the largest with hundreds of chapters nationwide — making it larger today than any other point in the group’s long history.”

NCL President Doug Linkhart added, “Any wearing of clothing that evokes the Ku Klux Klan is an affront to not only those who have been targeted by the KKK, but to American values in general.”

You can see Ye wear the KKK hood below.

Darius Jackson Says Keke Palmer Committed Domestic Violence in New Court Docs

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson at 'Renaissance'

Keke Palmer’s ex, Darius Jackson, has accused the singer and actress of domestic violence. Court documents obtained by RadarOnline revealed Palmer physically assaulted him on various occasions, which included punching him in the face at a birthday party.

Jackson also stated he was called insults like “punk” and “bitch,” while Palmer sent messages apologizing for the abuse. “I’m sorry for hitting you,” the message read. “I’m sorry for being afraid to lose you and that turning into me acting out of fear and desperation. That was not the best me that you received and I’m sorry for that.”

Earlier this month, Keke Palmer delivered a new post on Instagram, holding her toddler and detailing the current state of her life, which she says is “unraveling at the seams.”

“When reality tv makes everyone believe all celebrities lives are just one big marketing strategy and scheme but my life is truly unraveling at the seams and I just wear trauma like a dolce gabana coat because Sharon didn’t raise no b****,” Palmer wrote.

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson’s domestic violence case is on hold for now. According to court docs, the two asked to hold off the start of court to resolve their issues through mediation.

Complex notes the court filing asks for “the parties time to attend mediation. The parties request that the Mediation and Petitioner’s DVRO be continued to a mutually agreeable date.” The constraints of the restraining order will remain in effect.

Before this update, PEOPLE reported Palmer had been granted temporary sole physical and legal custody. According to PEOPLE, Palmer had desired an amicable split.

“She gave him a lot of chances to do the right thing,” a source detailed. “Keke tried so hard to have an amicable split and arrangement [custody]. She needed to prioritize her safety and the safety of her baby. She wants the best for Leo. She did not want it to get to this point. But she did what she had to do.”

Keke Palmer has filed for permanent full custody of her 8-month-old son with Darius Jackson, Leodis. Additionally, Palmer has agreed to pay “reasonable expenses of pregnancy and birth” but asks each person to care for their attorneys.

The court can “make orders” for child support and “issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party.”

According to PageSix, Palmer denied the option of joint custody and also filed a restraining order against Jackson. The order cites physical and emotional abuse. The documents also state “many instances of physical violence,” claiming Jackson has destroyed personal property, tossed Palmer’s items into the street, and tossed her car keys to prevent her from leaving.

Jackson is also accused of hitting Palmer in front of their son, threatening suicide if she left him, harassment, and “other physical and emotional abuse.”

Palmer and Jackson officially split last month, but Palmer states she has security footage as recent as Nov. 5 showing Jackson trespassing at her home. Jackson is stated to have “threatened [her], then physically attacked [her] — lunging for [her] neck, striking [her], throwing [her] over the couch and stealing [her] phone when [she] told him [she] was going to call the police.”

Palmer stated the relationship officially wrapped in early October due to “physical and emotional abuse inflicted on [her] by [him] throughout [their] relationship.”

“It is because of our son, Leo, that I was finally able to end my relationship with Darius once and for all and escape the abuse,” Palmer wrote. “Leo is the most important thing in the entire world to me; he needs and deserves to be safe and grow up in an environment free from violence.”

Palmer stated her leaving Jackson has escalated the attacks, citing his actions as “more unhinged, volatile and dangerous.”

Keke Palmer also released images from her security camera showing Jackson engaged in attacking her.

Following the developments, Jackson tweeted an image with his son, captioning: “I love you, son. See you soon.”
