Tekashi 6ix9ine and Diddy may be in the same prison, but they are not kicking it. Despite rumors that they have interacted, TMZ notes that the two are in separate areas of Brooklyn’s MDC.
According to 6ix9ine’s attorney, Lance Lazzaro, the two are not next to each other, and 6ix9ine is isolated due to his notoriety. That separation includes other famous individuals.
6ix9ine pled guilty to violations of his supervised release. The rapper went to Las Vegas without permission, along with failed drug tests and more.
Ray J claims some of Diddy’s friends and associates are willing to pay off alleged victims to remain quiet.
According to TMZ, Ray J appears in the new Tubi doc, The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak-Offs, where he believes some high-profile celebs are throwing money at the accusations.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who has sent letters to celebrities asking for settlements to dismiss possible lawsuits, is also present in the document.
Houston attorney Tony Buzbee previously announced he is representing more than 120 individuals, including 25 minors, who accuse Bad Boy Entertainment CEO Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of severe and abusive misconduct. During a press conference held in Texas, Buzbee revealed that his clients have come forward with allegations ranging from physical abuse to claims of sexual misconduct.
Among the most alarming accusations are those from individuals who were minors at the time of the alleged incidents. The accusations have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, given Combs’ influential status in music and business. However, the details of the claims remain largely undisclosed as legal proceedings are yet to begin.
In response, Diddy has vehemently denied the accusations. According to ABC 7 NY, Combs’ attorney, Erica Wolff, released a statement addressing the escalating situation:
“Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” Wolff said. “He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
Wolff also referred to the growing controversy as a “reckless media circus” and stated that Diddy is prepared to contest any claims brought against him in court.
Despite Diddy’s denial, the public attention surrounding the case continues to intensify. Buzbee, known for his high-profile legal work, has taken on the case with a promise to seek justice for the alleged victims, emphasizing that many of the accusers have faced significant trauma.
As of now, no formal legal complaints have been filed, but the possibility of a court battle looms on the horizon. Both sides have expressed their readiness to present their cases, setting the stage for what could be a highly publicized legal showdown. With the number of accusers and the nature of the allegations, this case could have major implications not only for Diddy but also for the entertainment industry as a whole.
20 years ago today, the Hip-Hop community lost one of its most eccentric, yet essential personalities that the game has ever known. Russell Jones, better known to the world as Ol’ Dirty Bastard, passed away just two days shy of his 36th birthday.
Ironically, Dirty took us through his 36th Chamber at the inception of his unprecedented career with his gold certified Return To The 36th Chamber debut in March of 1995. The Osiris of the WTC legacy followed up with another solo album entitled N***a Please as well as a posthumous release.
This Friday, which would’ve been the Wu Tang co-founder’s 56th birthday, his family is hosting a special screening of th A&E special documentary A Tale Of Two Dirty’s in his hometown of Brooklyn, where there will also be a panel discussion about the documentary and the impact of mental health.
DDG got candid for his fans, revealing in a stream he has not moved on from Halle Bailey. “No, I’m not dating,” DDG said to his fans. “I haven’t moved on.”
He also revealed that he wants more kids but not with multiple people. He wants to have them within the next 2-3 years to avoid the new baby being too far apart in age from Halo, risking the chance they don’t have a tight bond. “I feel like that defeats the entire purpose of having another kid.”
Speaking on it he said, “I don’t want to have kids with multiple people. I feel like that’s just too much.”
Hip-hop always finds a way to expand. This time, Pusha T is taking the genre to a new lane, launching his own brand of coffee named after the Clipse classic “Grindin’.”
According to Hypebeast, “Grindin’” is a premium, high-caffeine black coffee blend that will be served at Café Tropical. Why that spot? The original owners were involved in cocaine smuggling in the 1970s, so it’s very on-brand.
“Grindin’” will also have exclusive merchandise in collaboration with Carhartt at the cafe.
Quality Control Music has gone country. The storied Hip-Hop label is ushering in a new era, expanding to include country artists to its roster. The initial signing is a quarter of sisters named The BoykinZ.
“This is a dream come true for us and we’re incredibly humbled and honored to officially join the QC family,” The BoykinZ said in a statement. “We owe a huge debt of gratitude to P and Coach K, the country music community and everyone who has believed in and supported us over the past few years, your love and encouragement have been the fuel that’s powered us to this moment.“
“An act like The BoykinZ comes along once in a generation,” said QC co-founders Pierre “P” Thomas and Kevin “Coach K” Lee. “These ladies possess an extraordinary talent and star quality that’s rivaled only by their dedication to their craft.”
