Diddy Demands Access To His Laptop While He Remains Behind Bars

by

Diddy’s legal team has made a new filing, demanding he have access to a laptop behind bars in order to plan for his upcoming trial. They allege the Metropolitan Detention Center is restricting his access to one, despite the government providing one he could use. With the laptop, he would be able to “review discovery, take notes related to his case, and otherwise assist in his defense.”

“Mr. Combs has still not been provided with the laptop despite numerous inquiries by defense counsel,” the filing reads, as caught by Meghann Cuniff. “Finally, this morning, the government informed defense counsel that after consultation with MDC counsel, Mr. Combs has two options related to his laptop: (1) he will only be provided with the laptop in the unit’s video-teleconference room during select times when legal staff is available and when that room is not otherwise being used during other inmates’ legal calls; or (2) he will only be provided with the laptop in the legal visiting room between the hours of 8-3:30pm. But, not both.”

Diddy’s Family Attends His Latest Bail Hearing

Diddy’s lawyers then described the options as “untenable” while arguing that no other inmates have to deal with such measures. They continued: “They significantly limit the time available for Mr. Combs to use the laptop and force Mr. Combs to choose between using the laptop and meeting with his attorneys (who often meet with Mr. Combs over video-teleconference). There is also no justification for these restrictions.”

Before concluding, the lawyers accused the MDC of providing the prosecution access to Diddy’s visitation forms, which possibly includes potential experts and investigators. Diddy’s trial is set to kick off in May of next year. He’s pleaded not guilty and denied all of the allegations he’s facing. Check out his latest filing below.

Kanye West Files 26 Trademarks For “YEWS”: Report

by

Kanye West reportedly filed to get several trademarks for the name “YEWS”- 28, to be exact- according to a report from TMZ. Moreover, the documents in question indicate that he wants to use the term for financial services, clothing, sneakers, and much more. Of course, this is a pretty concerning and likely insensitive and inflammatory reference to the Chicago artist’s antisemitic controversies as of late. Those continue to dog him, despite speculation of a new album that has fans sadly leaving all that in the past. Whether the rapper wants to intentionally use the term “Jews” for branding purposes or not, these trademark filings are still pretty unclear regardless.

Furthermore, the 46-year-old or his team apparently submitted this filing earlier in October, from what TMZ‘s obtained docs indicate. It’s reportedly linked to an LLC that goes by the name of Ox Paha, Inc., one that’s never been associated with his career in the past. Regardless, the request for trademark contains an address that links to Kanye West’s office on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, California. As of writing this article, though, the large breadth of these trademark intentions don’t indicate a specific or particular use of the term “YEWS”- instead, it goes through just about every possibility for it.

Kanye West Reportedly Wants To Use “YEWS” Term For His Products

According to these new reports, the new trademark would be for clothing, financial services, and real estate. In addition, it could also apply to accessories like footwear and headwear, as well as beauty products, restaurants, and many other extracurricular endeavors. Before you get too worried if you’re a Kanye West stan, though, don’t worry: it seems like he also covered his roots. For example, the “YEWS” trademark could also reportedly apply to music, audio, and general entertainment content.

Meanwhile, this might become relevant soon, as the Yeezy mogul is apparently hard at work on new music with Ty Dolla $ign and many more. Still, this isn’t just an eyebrow-raiser for the trademark term, but also because it feels like we’re in the middle of an album rollout. With no sign of accountability or any real regret when it comes to his actions, we might be in for another chaotic and harmful ride. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.
