Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, both known for their outspoken takes on the music industry, have added fuel to the fire surrounding recent allegations against Jay-Z. The two rappers recently shared their thoughts, suggesting that Diddy might have a hand in the claims against Hov.

The allegations, which accuse Jay-Z and Diddy of sexual assault involving a 13-year-old, have sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community. While Jay-Z has already denied the accusations and taken legal action, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda have raised suspicions about the timing and intent of the claims, hinting at possible behind-the-scenes sabotage.

During a discussion, Yayo and Murda alluded to Diddy’s history of being implicated in various scandals, implying that the mogul’s alleged tactics could be at play. “Diddy’s name always comes up when it’s some mess in the industry,” Yayo remarked. “You gotta wonder why things get so messy right when people are doing their thing or have a lot to lose.”

Uncle Murda echoed the sentiment, stating, “It’s like every time someone’s name gets dragged, Diddy somehow ends up in the conversation. I’m not saying he did it, but you can’t ignore the patterns.”

While neither Yayo nor Murda presented concrete evidence to support their claims, their comments have added to the speculation and conspiracy theories circulating online. Both rappers pointed out how competitive and cutthroat the music industry can be, particularly when power players and significant figures like Jay-Z and Diddy are involved.

Jay-Z has dismissed the allegations as an extortion attempt orchestrated by attorney Tony Buzbee, whom he accuses of trying to exploit the public’s attention for financial gain. “What [Buzbee] had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” Jay-Z said in his statement. “No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion.”

Diddy, meanwhile, has not directly addressed the speculation or the allegations against Jay-Z. However, the accusations come at a turbulent time for Diddy, who recently faced his own legal troubles, including a high-profile lawsuit that was settled out of court.

The controversy continues to generate headlines, with fans and industry insiders alike debating the motivations and credibility of the claims. As the story unfolds, figures like Yayo and Murda ensure that the conversation remains charged, raising questions about loyalty, competition, and betrayal within the hip-hop elite.

50 Cent Demands Justice After New York Judge Threatens to Shoot Black Teens

Curtis 50 Cent Jackson Executive Producer on POWER

50 Cent is calling for action after a New York state judge threatened to shoot Black teenagers at a high school graduation party. The incident, involving State Supreme Court Justice Erin Gall, came to light earlier this week with the release of police bodycam footage following an investigation.

The videos show Justice Gall addressing the Black teens, instructing them to leave the party following a scuffle over uninvited guests. She is heard saying, “You’re not going to find your keys. You got to call an Uber and get off the property,” and adding, “You’re going to get a cop escort home.” Gall also tried to get the police to arrest the teens for trespassing, asserting, “I’ve done this for a million years. I’m a lawyer. I’m a judge. I know this.” In a shocking statement, she added that if the teens returned for their keys, “you can shoot them on the property. I’ll shoot them on the property.”

50 Cent was outraged by the judge’s behavior. On Wednesday (July 24), he took to Instagram to share a report featuring the bodycam footage. “SMH she should be removed,” he captioned the post. “This is bad. Repost this video.” A judicial watchdog panel agreed, ruling that Gall should be removed from office. The panel stated that Gall “repeatedly invoked her judicial office,” while attempting to get the Black teens arrested.

The State Commission on Judicial Conduct issued its report on Monday (July 22), recommending Gall’s dismissal. The report found that Gall “created at least the appearance that she harbored racial bias,” during the incident on July 1, 2022. “Her wide array of misconduct severely undermined public confidence in the judiciary and in her ability to serve as a fair and impartial judge,” the commission concluded.

Gall’s attorney, Robert Julian, has vowed to challenge the decision in the Court of Appeals, according to CBS News. Meanwhile, Gall is suspended with pay, earning an annual salary of $232,600.

The incident has sparked significant public outcry, with many echoing 50 Cent’s call for Gall’s removal from office to ensure justice and maintain trust in the judiciary system.

Fresh Look At Travis Scott’s First Original Kicks ‘Sharkidon’ From Nike On The Way

fa31c93660ec19a383b7de64793b0363

Images for Travis Scott’s first original kicks are here.

e3f57ebda5f93eb9049d123e60bd0ac6

Let’s be real. They look kinda tough.

Known as the Nike Sharkidon, this sneaker will be the “Sicko Mode” rapper’s first unique design from Nike and is set to be released in a cream and white colorway called “Sail.” 

Interestingly, sneaker insider Brandon1fan on Twitter has mentioned that the shoe might be named the Zoom Field Jaxx instead. 

Let’s get into the design and Inspo …

fa31c93660ec19a383b7de64793b0363

Get this, the Sharkidon takes inspiration from the Spiridon running shoe and the Shark football cleat. Scott has been seen wearing the Sharkidon multiple times since last year, causing some confusion between his Nike and Jordan footwear. However, the official images now provide a clear look at the sneaker’s details.

If you ask us, the branding on the Sharkidon is more subtle compared to the CJ1 T-Rexx. The only external mark for Scott is his embroidered Cactus Jack logo on the heel, designed with a Swoosh as its mouth. 

One aspect that stands out, unlike many of Scott’s previous collaborations with Jordan Brand and Nike, this shoe does not feature the signature backwards Swoosh.

Similar to the CJ1 T-Rexx, the Sharkidon includes a velcro strap above the midfoot. 

The shoe’s upper is an all-cream design with suede overlays and leather accents, including the toe box and collar. The white midsole sits atop a faint brown outsole with ample tread.

As for the drop timing, don’t get too excited on when you can cop these kicks. The release details for Travis Scott’s Nike Sharkidon “Cream” have yet to be confirmed. Let’s all relax but the shoe is anticipated to drop before the end of the year. Maybe holidays? We’re just guessing.
