Cardi B and Bia’s Feud Escalates: Diss Tracks, Lawsuit Threats, and Leaked Phone Calls

The feud between rappers Cardi B and Bia has reached new heights with the release of diss tracks, threats of lawsuits, and leaked phone calls, all stemming from accusations of copying and infidelity rumors.

The conflict began when Bia released a new diss track targeting Cardi B after the “Jealousy” hitmaker threatened legal action over rumors that she had cheated on her husband, Offset. The situation escalated early Sunday morning (June 1), when Cardi B took to Instagram Live, threatening to expose her private conversations with Bia and sharing snippets of what she called a “Fake diss” from Bia.

Bia retaliated with her own Instagram Live session, where she previewed a diss track aimed at Cardi B. In the track, Bia not only reiterated the copying and cheating allegations but also brought Cardi’s children, Wave and Culture, into the fray. “Put it on your gang that they ain’t f### you in,” Bia rapped. “Put it on your hubby since you lying on your vows.” She further questioned Cardi’s songwriting abilities, implying she doesn’t write her own raps and mocking her lyrical skills. “’SUE ME’ ??? That’s not hip hop,” Bia captioned her post.

During her Instagram Live, Cardi B responded by sharing posts from what she claimed was Bia’s finsta (fake Instagram) account. “Good luck you think I’m Tasha K,” one post read, referencing Cardi’s previous legal victory against the blogger Tasha K. Cardi accused Bia of taking the beef beyond rap and attempting to disrupt her family. “I’m a sue you and you got to come with receipts. And not social media receipts, court receipts,” Cardi warned. “I will get every little f###### red penny that you ever f###### make b####. Every money that you make off your publishing. So find something safe to do.”

Cardi also played a snippet of another diss track from Bia’s alleged finsta account, with lyrics that included, “How you mad he cheating on you? B#### tell him the truth,” and “I’ll tell him the scoop.” Cardi questioned why Bia hadn’t confronted Offset directly if she knew any damaging information. “So b#### why you ain’t tell him the scoop?” she asked, accusing Bia of seeking clout.

The bad blood between the two artists started last year but has intensified recently, particularly after fans accused Cardi B of copying Bia. Bia seemingly agreed with these accusations, prompting Cardi to respond on the “Wanna Be” remix.

Cannes Film Festival Usher Turns Out to Be an Equal Opportunity Hater

The Cannes Film Festival, known for its glitz and glamour, has recently been overshadowed by a series of controversial incidents involving a pushy usher. Over the past week, one particular usher has been caught on camera preventing several women of color, including YoonA, singer Kelly Rowland and actress Massiel Taveras, from fully enjoying their moment on the iconic red carpet. The usher’s actions, which included shooing the women up the stairs as they attempted to pose for the paparazzi, sparked accusations of racial discrimination.

However, recent developments suggest that the usher’s behavior might not be racially motivated but rather indicative of a broader issue. In a surprising turn of events, the same usher was caught tackling Miss Europe 2023, Ukrainian model Sawa Pontyjska, at the top of the Cannes Film Festival’s red-carpeted stairs. The incident with Pontyjska, a white model, adds a new layer to the unfolding drama and suggests that the usher may simply have a penchant for disrupting moments of glamour, regardless of the individual’s background.

The controversial usher’s behavior has drawn widespread criticism, prompting discussions about the treatment of celebrities and public figures at high-profile events. While Kelly Rowland and Massiel Taveras’ incidents initially highlighted concerns about racial discrimination, the usher’s actions towards Pontyjska point to a more generalized pattern of misconduct.

The Cannes Film Festival is now under scrutiny for the actions of its security personnel. Festival organizers have yet to issue a formal statement addressing the usher’s conduct, but the incidents have undoubtedly cast a shadow over the prestigious event.

Sean Kingston and Mother Arrested in Multi-Million Dollar Fraud Scheme

Singer Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have been arrested on multiple fraud charges, accused of orchestrating a complex scheme that allegedly defrauded over a million dollars in recent months.

According to arrest warrants released by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, the 34-year-old artist and his 61-year-old mother have been charged with conducting an organized scheme to defraud, grand theft, identity theft, and related crimes. The allegations span a series of thefts involving money, jewelry, a Cadillac Escalade, and furniture.

From October to March, Kingston and Turner reportedly engaged in fraudulent activities resulting in the theft of nearly $500,000 in jewelry, over $200,000 from Bank of America, $160,000 from a Cadillac Escalade dealer, more than $100,000 from First Republic Bank, $86,000 from a custom bed manufacturer, and additional smaller amounts from other sources.

The details of these crimes, while not fully disclosed in the warrants, paint a picture of an extensive and well-coordinated effort to defraud multiple businesses and financial institutions. The high-profile nature of the accused has drawn significant media attention, highlighting the severity and audacity of the alleged offenses.

This arrest follows a raid on Kingston’s rented Miami mansion, where local sheriffs took both him and his mother into custody. Kingston is currently being held without bond in California, awaiting extradition to Florida. Meanwhile, Turner’s previous fraud conviction in 2005, where she served 16 months in federal prison for bank fraud, has surfaced in court, influencing the judge to set her bond at an exorbitant $160,000.

Turner’s attorney, Sam Stark, argued for a more lenient bond, emphasizing that the current charges are non-violent and asserting that she poses no threat to the community. However, the judge maintained the high bond amount, requiring the defense to prove that the money used for bail comes from a legitimate source.

The 77th Cannes Film Festival witnessed another unsettling incident involving Girls’ Generation member YoonA, who faced alleged racial discrimination by a security guard on the red carpet. The event, which was meant to celebrate cinematic excellence has been marred by this controversy.

YoonA experienced this discriminatory act as she was engaging with photographers and fans. The sudden stop by the security guard raised eyebrows and drew attention to the broader issue of racial discrimination at high-profile events.

In contrast fans pointed out the treatment of model Heidi Klum.

Sean Kingston’s Mother’s Past Fraud History Revealed

by
sean

Last week, rapper Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, found themselves in legal trouble after Kingston’s rented Miami mansion was raided by local sheriffs. The raid came following accusations that Kingston scammed an electronics store out of a high-end entertainment system.

Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, is currently being held without bond in California as he awaits extradition. Meanwhile, his mother appeared in court, where her past fraud convictions significantly influenced her bond amount.

According to CBS News, Turner’s bond was set at an exorbitant $160,000 due to her previous criminal record. The judge read off the eight fraud and theft charges against her during her bond court hearing. Prosecutor Eric Linder highlighted her history, stating, “This is not Ms. Turner’s first time with this type of conduct. She has a 2005 federal conviction for bank fraud where she was sentenced to 16 months in federal prison.”

In her defense, Turner’s attorney, Sam Stark, argued for a more lenient bond, emphasizing that her charges were non-violent. “There are no violent priors, this case is not violent in nature, she doesn’t pose a threat to the community,” Stark contended. Despite these arguments, the judge maintained the high bond amount and stipulated that Turner’s attorney must prove the bond money is from a legitimate source.

Kingston’s troubles began when he allegedly failed to complete payments to VER Entertainment for a $150,000 entertainment system, which included a massive 232-inch television. The complaint states that Kingston persuaded the company to accept a lower down payment and credit towards the purchase by promising to produce promotional videos featuring Justin Bieber. However, these videos were never produced, leading to the company’s legal action.

In a dramatic scene described by Kingston’s attorney, Rosenblatt, the arrest was conducted with significant force. “You would think Osama bin Laden was there with all the force they used—long guns, SWAT teams, masks, and everything else. It was crazy! Certainly overreacted,” he said.

Rosenblatt also mentioned their intention to bring Kingston back voluntarily before he was apprehended. “We wanted to bring them back as soon as possible so he could self-surrender, but they grabbed them before we could do that,” Rosenblatt explained. “And he’s going to waive extradition.”

As Kingston awaits extradition from San Bernardino, California, his legal team prepares for what could be a lengthy legal battle. Meanwhile, Turner’s case moves forward in Florida, with her bond set and conditions laid out by the court.

Nicki Minaj Praises Fans After Manchester Gig Rescheduled Following Arrest in the Netherlands

by
Nicki Minaj Covid

Nicki Minaj has expressed gratitude to her fans for their understanding and support after her concert in Manchester had to be rescheduled due to her arrest in the Netherlands. The Queens rapper and singer was detained at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on Saturday for allegedly attempting to transport “soft drugs” out of the country.

Minaj spent around six hours in custody before being released and fined, allowing her to continue her journey to the UK. Despite her efforts to make it in time, her concert at the Co-op Live arena was postponed. Fans had already been admitted into the venue by 7 pm, but the announcement of the postponement came around 9:40 pm from promoter Live Nation.

Dutch police confirmed the arrest and subsequent release of a 41-year-old woman who paid a fine before being allowed to leave. The incident caused significant delays and disruptions, but Minaj’s fans, known as Barbz, have shown remarkable patience and support.

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Minaj praised her fans, writing, “Manchester I appreciate you. Class act. Give me until (tomorrow) for the update on our new date (please). It will be sometime in June or July like I mentioned last night.” She also promised an “added surprise bonus” for fans and expressed excitement about her upcoming performance in Manchester, already scheduled for Thursday at Co-op Live.

Minaj reassured her followers that the Birmingham concert at Resorts World Arena on Sunday would be a “magical beautiful happy fun unforgettable night.” She even invited her fans to her hotel in the center of Manchester, where she personally interacted with the crowd. One fan, Alvin Christie from Liverpool, praised Minaj’s efforts and criticized the venue’s management. Christie stated, “I would say it was very poorly managed. When we arrived at the event, they were actively telling fans that she had arrived and that everyone was going to dance tonight.”

Minaj arrived at her Manchester hotel early on Sunday after enduring a long flight delay from Amsterdam and time in a cell. She noted on X that the venue was “willing to go past 11 pm,” but blamed unnamed individuals for the disruption, claiming they had “succeeded at their plan to not let me get on that stage tonight.”

Live Nation issued a statement on Saturday, saying, “Despite Nicki’s best efforts to explore every possible avenue to make tonight’s show happen, the events of today have made it impossible. We are deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused.”

This incident adds to the series of issues plaguing Co-op Live since its attempted opening in April. The venue has faced multiple postponements and rescheduling of its first official gigs. US rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie even moved his performance to the AO Arena due to the delays, and Co-op Live only began live music shows on May 14 with British rock band Elbow.

Minaj, known for her hits like “Starships,” “Super Bass,” and “Anaconda,” livestreamed her arrest and maintained that the drugs found in her luggage were not hers. Despite these setbacks, her fans have shown unwavering support, and Minaj looks forward to delivering unforgettable performances in the near future.

KeKe Palmer Drops Restraining Order and Custody Request Against Darius Jackson

by

Actress KeKe Palmer has dropped her request for a restraining order and sole custody of her son, initially filed against actor Darius Jackson following allegations of abuse.

The case, which garnered significant attention in 2023, appears to be moving towards a resolution away from the courtroom. According to new documents obtained by The Blast, the domestic violence restraining order hearing, which was scheduled for July 16, 2024, has been canceled. Palmer’s attorney filed the documents, leading to the removal of the hearing from the court’s calendar.

While the precise reasons for this decision remain undisclosed, it is speculated that Palmer and Jackson may have reached a private agreement. This development comes five months after the former couple agreed to engage in a court-mandated mediation session, suggesting that a truce might have been achieved behind the scenes.

The initial filing by Palmer was a significant move, as she sought both a domestic violence restraining order and sole custody of their son, citing abuse. The case highlighted the ongoing struggles and legal battles faced by individuals dealing with domestic violence allegations.

As of now, neither Palmer’s lawyer nor Jackson have provided public statements regarding the case’s dismissal. The decision to forego the hearing indicates a possible de-escalation of the conflict, potentially allowing both parties to focus on co-parenting their child amicably.

Palmer’s decision to drop the legal proceedings marks a notable shift from the intense legal and personal drama that unfolded last year. It underscores the complexities of domestic disputes and the various pathways individuals might take towards resolution, whether through the courts or through private negotiations.

Fans and observers will undoubtedly continue to watch closely for any further developments or statements from the involved parties. For now, it appears that Palmer and Jackson are seeking to navigate their differences outside of the courtroom, prioritizing the well-being of their child and potentially finding a more harmonious way forward.

AMC Theatres CEO Admits to Leaking Beyoncé Concert Film News, After Keeping Taylor Swift’s Eras Film a Secret

by
bey taylor

In a surprising revelation, AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron admitted to leaking the news about Beyoncé’s upcoming Renaissance concert film. This confession comes on the heels of a successful but tightly guarded release of Taylor Swift’s Eras concert film, a secret AMC managed to keep under wraps.

Adam Aron’s comments, reported by Variety, highlight the theater chain’s ambitious plans to release “two to three” concert films annually. To support this vision, AMC has bolstered its distribution team, a move that has not sat well with traditional Hollywood studios. These studios feel AMC is stepping into their territory, especially since AMC had exclusive advance knowledge of both the Swift and Beyoncé films, allowing the chain to sell tickets before any competitors.

“We couldn’t blow Taylor’s secret,” Aron explained, emphasizing the strategic importance of maintaining confidentiality. “And those theater chains who groused to you? They grossed $100 million in ticket sales. It’s not like they sold diddly.”

However, the rollout of Beyoncé’s Renaissance concert film did not go as smoothly. To prevent a repeat of the tightly-held secret surrounding Swift’s film, AMC gave its competitors an early, super-secret heads-up about the Beyoncé film’s impending release. Despite these precautions, Aron lamented, “At least half a dozen movie circuits leaked the news. Beyoncé was seriously thinking about not doing the movie at all because the secret was blown. So, they didn’t keep their word.”

This breach of trust reportedly led to significant frustration and nearly jeopardized the release of Beyoncé’s film. The fallout underscores the challenges AMC faces in balancing its role as both an exhibitor and a distributor. While AMC’s foray into film distribution represents a bold expansion of its business model, it also highlights the tension between the theater chain and its Hollywood partners.

Despite these challenges, Aron remains committed to AMC’s new direction. The company’s strategy of releasing concert films aims to attract diverse audiences and boost ticket sales. By leveraging the popularity of iconic artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, AMC hopes to redefine the theater-going experience and sustain its relevance in an evolving entertainment landscape.

The success of Swift’s Eras concert film, which grossed significant ticket sales, demonstrates the potential of this approach. However, the mixed reception to the handling of Beyoncé’s film highlights the delicate balance AMC must maintain with its industry partners.

Dee Barnes Speaks Out: Diddy’s Assault on Cassie is Triggering for Abuse Victims

Screen Shot 2024 05 25 at 6.20.34 AM

Dee Barnes, a prominent voice against domestic violence in the music industry, has recently spoken out against Sean “Diddy” Combs following a video showing him assaulting his former partner, Cassie. Barnes, who herself survived a brutal attack by Dr. Dre, expressed her deep disappointment and described the footage as triggering for abuse survivors.

In a social media post on Friday, May 17, Barnes didn’t hold back her feelings. “Seeing that video is extremely triggering. #DrDre punched, slammed, kicked and stomped me out. #Concussion,” she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. She continued in a separate post, “I’m disgusted and disappointed with Sean Combs. I stand with #Cassie, #KimPorter and all the other victims of his violent abuse.”

Barnes’ history with domestic violence dates back to January 27, 1991, when she was attacked by Dr. Dre at a record release party in Hollywood, California. As detailed by Rolling Stone Magazine, Dr. Dre viciously assaulted her, repeatedly slamming her head and body against a brick wall, while his bodyguard kept bystanders at bay with a gun. The attack continued with Dr. Dre kicking her and attempting to throw her down a flight of stairs. Barnes managed to escape to a women’s bathroom, but Dr. Dre followed and continued his assault by punching her in the back of the head. The attack only ended when Dre and his bodyguard fled the scene.

This attack was reportedly provoked by an interview Barnes conducted with Ice Cube on her show “Pump It Up,” in which Ice Cube mocked D.O.C.’s voice, an injury result from a car accident. Barnes subsequently filed a $22.75 million lawsuit against Dr. Dre, which was settled out of court.

Dr. Dre later addressed the assault in an interview for “The Defiant Ones,” expressing regret for his actions. “There is absolutely no excuse for it. No woman should ever be treated this way,” he stated. “Any man that puts his hands on a female is a fing idiot. He is out of his fing mind and I was out of my fing mind at the time. I fed up. I paid for it. I’m sorry for it and I apologized for it.”

While Barnes accepted Dr. Dre’s apology and appreciated his accountability, she has questioned the timing of his remorse. Now, with the emergence of the video of Diddy’s assault on Cassie, Barnes is once again reminded of her traumatic past and is vocal in her support for Cassie and other victims of abuse.

In her advocacy, Dee Barnes continues to shine a light on the issue of domestic violence within the music industry, urging for accountability and justice for all victims.
