Diddy Tipped Someone $250K After Winning $2Mil In Vegas

by

Diddy truly is all about the benjamins. The Bad Boy founder has his hands in everything from Tequila to television stations, — so money is never really an option. He proved so last month after purchasing a $6.5 million, 9,655-square-foot mansion in Los Angeles. Last year, he bought back his Sean John Clothing brand for a cool $7.6 million. 

The generous music mogul doesn’t hoard his coins just for himself. Earlier this month, he gifted his “Shawty Wop,” Yung Miami, a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 which starts at $160,500. It seems like Diddy is in a giving spirit these days. During a recent interview with iHeart Radio, the 52-year Harlemite revealed that he once tipped someone $250,000.

“I had won $2 million in Vegas, so I tipped the person that was the dealer the quarter of a million.”  According to the “Gotta Move On” rapper, he’s no stranger to leaving big tips. He added, “You know when I’m on a yacht, it’s a tip for the whole crew. If I win, we all win!” No word on when Diddy tipped the lucky casino dealer. However, he was recently in Las Vegas for the 2022 iHeart Music Festival earlier this month. 

Aside from his moving performance at this year’s show, it was Diddy’s alleged guest, Daphne Joy, that had the Internet buzzing. Joy, who shares a child with 50 Cent, was called out by the Power creator for reportedly hanging out with Diddy. The mom and former video model penned a note to 50 on social media, asking to “be left alone.” 

“Although my child’s father and I parted ways, I shifted my focus on my sons well being emotionally, spiritually, and everything in between,” she wrote in the note. “I’m so tired of defending my character, being pre judged and constantly being Villainized.”Diddy has yet to confirm or deny his relationship with Daphne.

Chris Brown’s “Stalker” Ran Truck Over A Tesla

by

Fans are known to go the extra mile in order to get close to the artists they love and Chris Brown knows all too well the lengths fans will go to. The singer’s dedicated supporters have been highlighted in newsreels for decades as their over-the-top antics have earned coverage, but this time, it’s Brown who is shining a light on someone who was a little too close for comfort.

On his Instagram Story, Brown shared a photo of a Chevrolet pick-up truck parked on top of a Tesla.

While the details of how this occurred or who was behind the wheel remain unknown, Brown did offer a tad bit of context.

“Bruh [eyeballs emoji] wtf?! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS PEOPLE ARE REALLY FRIED!!!” he wrote over the image. “Another stalker … this time these folks done ran into somebody’s sh*t. Sh*t look like the hulk just placed this Truck on top this Tesla.”

It’s unclear where Brown may have been when he came across this scene, but we can only imagine the ire of the Tesla owner who had to deal with this.

DaniLeigh Says She Saw Texts Between B. Simone & DaBaby

by

As people weigh in about DaBaby’s projected sales numbers for his latest project, his name is once again entangled in drama related to his ex-girlfriend, DaniLeigh. Last night (September 27), rumors surfaced about DaniLeigh’s appearance on Wild ‘n Out, and it was said that she requested cast member B. Simone to not be included in that episode’s cast. People quickly began speculating about the gossip and alleged that it may have had something to do with DaBaby.

There was a time when B. Simone repeatedly went viral after thirsting over DaBaby on social media, and it left many to believe that her adoration of the rapper rubbed DaniLeigh the wrong way.

That hasn’t been confirmed or denied, but after this news picked up traction, Dani returned with an explanation. She admitted that she and Simone don’t get along and said that people are making it a bigger issue than it is.

“It was never a demand,” she said of the request to have B. Simone removed from her episode. “I don’t know why the blogs are putting out that I demanded B. Simone not to be on Wild ‘n Out. That wasn’t the case. Wild ‘n Out asked me, I love Wild ‘n Out shows, I’ve always supported Nick [Cannon], I always supported the comedians on the show.”

“Me and B. Simone are not cool. So, I just—my team asked if she doesn’t do the episode that I do, respectfully. It was never anything to be like, ‘I’m a diva, I don’t want’—I thought it’d be more mature to not have us sitting next to each other on a show, making it mad awkward and uncomfortable.”

“I’m protecting my peace. I’m protecting my heart on the situation. It wasn’t petty. She was actually there, so I’m sure she got paid. It wasn’t to take nobody from nobody’s pocket.”

DaniLeigh also alleged that B. Simone “made a whole diss song” about her and said she saw “text messages between” DaBaby and Simone in the past, but never mentioned it. She believes she’s handling the situation maturely because she’s trying to keep information to herself.

Kanye West Changes IG Profile Picture To Kris Jenner

by

Whether he comes down hard or drops subtle jabs, Kanye West isn’t letting up on applying pressure when it comes to Kris Jenner. There was a time when Ye saw Jenner as his mother-in-law, but once his split with Kim Kardashian went public, Ye didn’t mince words about Jenner’s influence.

During his previous rants on social media, West has made it clear that he has a bone to pick with the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch. Most recently, the very mention of her name reportedly caused Jenner to request that the mogul not mention her in his posts.

It looks like he honored that request and instead, took aim via his Instagram profile. It’s there that Ye made his profile photo a picture of Jenner, and while this doesn’t violate any rules, it can certainly get under someone’s skin.

West isn’t the only person who has Jenner on their radar; Ray J has been at it for weeks in an effort to clear his name. According to the singer, Jenner has led a campaign to vilify him in connection to the sex tape he released with Kim all those years ago. Ray has long insisted that he had nothing to do with the tape’s release and that Jenner orchestrated the entire ordeal.

Yet, Jenner recently sat down for a late-night talk show polygraph examination where she answered questions about being involved. She denied culpability and the test allegedly determined she was being truthful. This caused Ray J to pull out his receipts, including signed contracts.

by

When Nick Cannon isn’t working one of his many jobs, he’s in full time daddy mode with at least one of his nine children. Earlier this week, the TV host took to Instagram to celebrate his “brave” daughter, Powerful Cannon, as she got a cast taken off her right leg. He posted a video of the process, along with a photo of the joyful one-year old. 

“This little girl is so brave and strong,” he wrote. “Finally getting her cast cut off after truly living up to her name as a Powerful Queen Super Hero! A scary journey for Daddy to say the least but Pow kept me from being an emotional wimp! She is my hero!!” The Masked Singer host’s post comes on the heels of his other baby mama, Bre Tiesi, clapping back at critics who suggested that she get a nighttime nurse for their baby, at Nick’s expense. 

“KEEP MY PARENTING, MY KID AND MY BABY DADDY’S NAME OUT UR MOUTH,” she shared on her Instagram Stories. “Nick is NOT my sugar daddy. Nick is MY F–KIN CHILDS FATHER THAT IS ALL. Watch your f–kin mouth when you speak on mine!” Nick has yet to comment on Tiesi’s post. The Wild N’ Out host seems to be focused on the upcoming season of his hit MTV show, as well as the birth of the latest addition his family, Onyx Ice Cole Cannon with model Lanisha Cole. “I vow to protect, provide, guide and love this child to the best of my abilities,” Nick shared in a photo his newborn baby girl. 

Elsewhere in his brood, Nick Cannon is currently expecting his third with model Brittany Bell, his tenth overall. Abby De La Rosa is also expecting again, also marking her third child with Nick — his eleventh overall.

A$AP Rocky Reacts To Viral Mosh Pit Moment: “Sh** Not Funny”

by

A$AP Rocky was on an all time high after an epic performance as headliner at Rolling Loud NYC 2022 over the weekend. The new dad put on for his city, performing a few of his classic hit records, including  “Grim Freestyle,” “Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2 (LPFJ2)” and the live debut his track “Sights.” Unfortunately for fans, Rocky cut his set short after performing nine songs. But the Harlem rapper apologized shortly after and took “full responsibility for the circumstances.”

“I am so hurt right now!” he tweeted Sunday night. “Last night was supposed to be a turning point in my live show from the old to new!  I prepared the best show for my fans, detail for detail, over the course of MONTHS. I was unfortunately not able to bring my vision to fruition and Im hurt about that and I want to apologize to all of my fans.” Despite his set being coming to early end, festival goers did get a chance to get up close and personal with the star as he dove in to the mosh pit. 

While it seemed exciting to Rocky to be amongst the crowd at first, things took a turn as the rapper became overwhelmed in the sea of people. Footage of the intense moment spawned a slew of memes, mocking the “Purple Swag” rapper’s panicked expression. 

Rocky had a different reaction than the folks on the Internet. He commented on a viral photo of himself in the mosh pit, letting it be known that it wasn’t as hilarious as it seemed. “That sh** not funny,” he wrote. “Sum lil bit was squeezing the life out my n**z, b.” Aside from the mosh moment, Rocky’s set at Rolling Loud still had fans excited for what’s next to come from the A$AP Mob frontman. 

Earlier this month, he teased his collaboration with Playboi Carti, entitled, “Our De$tiny.” Check out a snippet below. 

Erykah Badu Pens Sweet Message To Kanye West: “Thanks For Fighting For Us”

by

Kanye West is no stranger to criticism. Since embarking on his journey to stardom back in 2003, the music mogul has been blasted and called out by everyone from former POTUS Barack Obama to his “big brother” Jay-Z . Despite the years of backlash, Kanye has never shied away from speaking his truth no matter what the costs. 

Last month, the impassioned designer went on a week-long social media rant, blasting Adidas and GAP for allegedly “stealing his designs and lying to him.” During his Internet rampage, Kanye decided that it was time to “go at it alone,” while demanding to sever ties with the fashion corporations. “It’s fine. I made the companies money. The companies made me money. We created ideas that will change apparel forever. Now it’s time for Ye to make the new industry. No more companies standing in between me and the audience,” he told Bloomberg.

While many slammed West for his  quarrelsome approach to the situation, others praised the DONDA star for taking a stand and taking matters into his own hands. After running in to Ye at the Burberry show during London Fashion Week, Erykah Badu penned a sweet message to her “friend Ye”, letting him know that she supports him and his movement. 

“Art kids.. Badu x Ye supporting our friend @ricardotisci,” the songstress penned alongside a photo of her and Kanye. “By the way. Let me tell you about my friend Ye. No one is more beautiful and kind and creative. Was there at his mama home going.” The Window Seat singer went on to honor her dear friend and his work, adding,  “IN ESSENCE. We all want the same thing .. to be loved and to work with pride . Thanks for fighting for us and for your self most of all I get it. @kanyewest and thanks for the secret show at Burberry after party. I was there”

The sweet message comes on the heels of Kanye appearing on Good Morning America, admitting that radio host Sway had the answers back in 2013 when he told College Dropout star to “cut the middle man” and fund his own brand. Share your thoughts below. 

Ari Fletcher Addresses Rumours About Moneybagg Yo, DreamDoll, Meek Mill, & More: Watch

by

On the latest episode of Dinner with the Don, 27-year-old Ari Fletcher had plenty of rumours to address, and the mother of one didn’t hesitate to get vulnerable when discussing everything from the current status of her relationship with Moneybagg Yo to the online gossip about her and DreamDoll’s alleged feud.

While working on cooking an at-home KFC Bowl with her friend Tuson, he asked The Don, “Are you single?”

Ari promptly looked up at him and responded with, “You know, I’m in between jobs,” with a shrug and a smile, earning a laugh from everyone in the room.

While that comment didn’t exactly answer the question, she would later reveal in the episode that she did, in fact, break up with her rapper boyfriend, although she didn’t specify exactly why. “I did break up with that motherf*cker,” she confirmed while stirring ingredients together.

“Yes, I did! Yes, I did, because he had me f*cked up!” she went on, although when asked if she plans to take her ex back, her friend chimed in and said, “Who knows what the future gon’ hold.”

At the same time, Fletcher clarified that the reason for her and the Memphis-born rapper’s drama has nothing to do with any infidelity. “That whole little thing, it wasn’t about no cheating, it didn’t have nothing to do with nobody else,” she clarified. “It was just between me and him.”

When she was asked about her friendship with DreamDoll – who she’s rumoured to have been beefing with lately – the YouTuber made it clear that while she has a lot of love for Dream, she’s “straight on her right now,” but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re on the outs.

As for the gossip floating around that Fletcher had found herself a soccer player to spend time with after declaring herself a single woman, she shut those down quickly. “No, I do not know that man, y’all,” she insisted.

“Seriously, we just went to a soccer game because it was something that we’ve never done before, and I guess the passes we had just so happened to be his,” the model explained.

Finally, the Chicago native addressed the Meek Mill speculation that arose during New York Fashion Week, after the two celebrities posted up separately in similar-looking hotel rooms. The “FWM” artist had previously denied the claims shortly after they wound up on various blogs, and now Fletcher is doubling down on his response.

Chris Brown Is In Awe Of Fan With Massive Portrait Tattoo

by

Fans these days will go all out to show their dedication to, or receive the attention of, their favorite artists. There was a time when wearing a t-shirt of a musician showed just how much someone admired their music, but as generations move from one to the next, fans have been showing love in more inventive ways.

Tattoos have become a common form of expression as it isn’t difficult to find music lovers with permanent ink that gives a nod to their favorite songs, albums, concerts, or artists. Chris Brown is an icon who is bombarded with images of his fans paying homage, and he highlighted another in a recent post.

Portrait tattoos require a level of commitment that not everyone has, especially for an artist that they don’t know personally. Yet, people feel so connected to Breezy that they regularly visit parlors in hopes of having something that connects them to the singer for life.

Brown highlighted a fan recently because the man’s tattoo was hard to ignore. “BRO WENT CRAZY [fire emoji],” he wrote alongside the image. The already-heavily tattooed fan inked Brown’s portrait on his head, right next to another tattoo of Michael Jackson.

There have been ongoing debates regarding whether or not MJ or CB is the King of Pop, but this guy made room for both on his dome.
